Rockville mayor and council to discuss school, development standards n

RYAN MARSHALL STAFF WRITER

A long-simmering dispute over development and schools in Rockville is scheduled to come back before the mayor and council Monday night with a discussion of the city’s adequate public facilities standards. Councilwoman Virginia Onley said she’d like to have a discussion on the topic to help

everyone understand the issue better. It’s important make everyone aware of why the ordinance was initially implemented, what it’s accomplished and what the future holds for the issue, Onley said. “I want everyone’s eyes to be open,” she said. Under a proposal by Councilman Tom Moore, the city’s threshold for cutting off development in an area would be triggered when local schools reach 120 percent of their programmed capacity, which also

Montgomery police officers will bring Tomaszewski, 31, back from Juneau, where he is in custody after being arrested on a cruise ship, said James T. Scott, district attorney for the Juneau judicial district covering southeast Alaska. “We never disclose exactly when prisoners will be transported for security reasons,” Scott wrote in an email on May

Bombardier shares importance of faith at Olney school BY

TERRI HOGAN STAFF WRITER

One of the ﬁve Xaverian values stressed at Our Lady of Good Counsel High School in Olney is humility, which can be deﬁned as “the quality or state of not thinking you are better than other people.” Good Counsel students recently got an opportunity to experience humility through meeting retired 2nd Lt. John R. Pedevillano, who fought in World War II with the Army

Air Corps. For an assignment, his granddaughter Angela Vucci of Brookeville, a junior, was required to visit the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington and took him along for his perspective. In a paper reﬂecting on the visit, she wrote about the experience she shared with her grandfather that day. Religion teacher Natasha Fredericks was so moved by Vucci’s reﬂections that she invited Pedevillano, 93, to talk to the class. Pedevillano, of College Park, originally spoke to the religion class in April. “One of the reasons this was so important to me is to hear the history, just as he

experienced it,” Fredericks said. “In his case, he had such a strong faith, and told us how, from his perspective, he saw God’s hand in all of his experiences. It shows that even through evil and suffering, God is with us.” Fredericks arranged to have Pedevillano return to Good Counsel on May 19, this time to speak in the chapel to a larger audience. The talk was recorded, so it could be shown to future classes. “I’ve had a blessed life,” said Pedevillano, thoughtfully and softly. “I came from a family of religious and patriotic people. I believe the events in my life did not happen

Rockville fourth-grader is a top regional essayist Raquel Tolin, a fourthgrader at Farmland Elementary School in Rockville, was one of 10 regional winners in this year’s “If I Were Mayor” essay contest sponsored by the Maryland Municipal League. Raquel was the top essayist in District 5, which comprised Montgomery and Howard counties. All the winners were honored May 14 at a State House reception with Gov. Larry Hogan and other ofﬁcials. The winners — all fourthgraders — received a Governor’s Citation, an award plaque and a $100 cash prize from the league. They also were invited on a boat ride out of Annapolis with their families and teachers, according to a news release. This year, the students wrote about the challenges that the mayor of Happy Town might face, including questions related to building new park facilities. Each 275-word essay had to begin with “If I Were Mayor, I would …” and answer three open-ended questions based on this year’s theme, “Respect.”

College has its largest graduating class Student speakers share past journeys, future goals BY

LINDSAY A. POWERS STAFF WRITER

With roots in four parts of the world and eyes on four sets of goals, student speakers at Montgomery College’s Friday graduation ceremony celebrated a shared moment of success. The four speakers, all recipients of top college awards, were among more than 3,500 students earning degrees and certiﬁcates in the college’s class of 2015. About 950 graduates walked at Friday’s commencement. Montgomery College President DeRionne P. Pollard said the graduates who were celebrated Friday made up the institution’s largest graduating class. Among them was Fidelis Mariae A. Militante, a nursing major at the college and one of three graduates named a 2015 Board of Trustees Scholar. She represented the Rockville campus.

“It is a significant milestone in my life’s journey, a journey filled with difficult obstacles and joyous achievements, a journey not unlike your journey,” Militante, of Rockville, told her fellow graduates. After coming to the U.S. from the Philippines when she was 11, Militante said, she felt a lack of motivation and direction and watched her parents struggle in their new country. They worked multiple jobs to help propel her to higher education, she said. Education is “the cornerstone of my life,” said Militante, who plans to earn a bachelor’s in nursing and become a doctor. The graduates and others heard from two commencement speakers, wife and husband Cokie and Steven Roberts of Bethesda, both journalists and authors. Steven pointed to Montgomery College’s diversity, particularly the immigrants among its student population. “Anyone who doubts the enormous contribution that immigrants make in this country every single day, you only have to be here this morning, and they would understand that,” he said.

Cokie encouraged the graduates to seriously consider taking on a public service role, where they can “make waves” and affect lives. The college, with its diversity, demonstrates that people in the country don’t share a common ethnicity, religion, heritage or language, Cokie said. They are brought together by something else, she said. “What we have is our government and its institutions,” she said. Steven told the graduates to become mentors and teachers. He said Pollard, whom he has interviewed, found support when she was young from a group of women at her church. She called them “sister mothers.” Steven said he had a “brother father” while working for James Reston at The New York Times. Reston took time for him every day. “Be a sister mother, be a brother father, be a pebble in a pond,” he said. “And if you do that, those ripples in your life will reach shores you will never, ever see and touch lives you will never know.” lpowers@gazette.net

The National Council for Negro Women — Potomac Valley Section is partnering with the Sandy Spring Museum for a book signing from 5:30 to 8 p.m. Friday, featuring a discussion, jazz and refreshments. The museum is at 17901 Bentey Road, Sandy Spring. Proceeds will benefit Aunt Hattie’s Place. The book is also available at driven2succeed.com. More information is available at aunthattie.org.

Girls on the Run club makes, donates blankets to hospital BY

TERRI HOGAN STAFF WRITER

The Girls on the Run club at Brooke Grove Elementary School recently ran with an extra load, but the girls didn’t mind a bit. The club members ran a stack of fleece blankets over to MedStar Montgomery Medical Center in Olney one morning last week and hand delivered them to the nursery staff. The national nonprofit for third- through fifth-grade girls aims to empower them through running, confidence and wellness, by teaching them to stay true to themselves and to live free from societal stereotypes. The program weaves training for a 5K run with these lessons. Brooke Grove’s club is in its second year and has 22 members, who meet to run before school. The group competed in a countywide 5K race this month, which featured more than 6,000 Girls on the Run. Part of the program encour-

The Brooke Grove girls decided to make fleece blankets for newborns at MedStar Montgomery. The girls, along with several coaches and Principal Gail West, ran on May 19 from their

Olney school to the hospital, carrying the blankets. They were escorted to the Maternal Newborn Center, where they presented the blankets to nurses Diane Hirsch and Lisa Welsh. There were lots of oohs and ahhs as the girls got to see two

newborns. “It was cool to see the babies,” said Kira Ryan, 10. “I am glad we were able to donate blankets to babies who need them.” Hailey Sepulvado, 10, said she welcomed the opportunity to give back. “We have so much, so it is good to give back to those who are not as fortunate as we are,” she said. Lexi Whelan, 11, agreed. “It was a really great opportunity to do this community service project, and see the babies,” she said. “I am glad we got this experience.” Kashmira Heaton Vakharia, 10, said they had fun making the blankets, and she is glad that they are going to people who need them. Debbie Harner, executive director of the MGH Health Foundation, said the hospital was appreciative of the gesture. “Kids that do this kind of stuff learn about giving at a very young age,” she said. “These blankets will help moms and dads. They will make them feel warm and safe, as many new parents are nervous.” thogan@gazette.net

Endeavor seeks to pull tech ﬁrms to Rockville Accelerator to offer business support, stipends to startups

RYAN MARSHALL STAFF WRITER

Montgomery County is already one of the country’s leading life science centers, and a Rockville business hopes to add several more companies to that community. Relevant Health is partnering with the Montgomery County Department of Economic Development, Rockville Economic Development Inc. and others to create a health technology “accelerator,” designed to help foster life science companies. The accelerator will provide support

for budding tech companies, supplying them with software help and other expertise they might not have. The entrepreneurs behind those types of companies often have technological or science expertise, but may not have the business skills they need to start out, said Rich Bendis, president and CEO of BioHealth Innovation, which is a nonproﬁt partner in the project with Relevant Health. The ﬁve-month program will also provide companies with $50,000 stipends, along with mentoring, software support and other services. Bendis said the accelerator will try to identify the best and brightest budding technology companies from around the

world and invite them to participate in the program. As home to federal agencies such as the Food and Drug Administration and National Institutes of Health, plus about 350 biotechnology companies, Montgomery County makes an inviting area for emerging companies, he said. The new location of a cybersecurity center in the county will also help, as protecting the electronic records and data of health care services has become more of a focus, he said. Companies have until the end of July to apply to be part of the accelerator, Bendis said. rmarshall@gazette.net

in a ‘difﬁcult year’ Spending up almost 2 percent in ﬁscal 2016

KATE S. ALEXANDER STAFF WRITER

Montgomery County on Thursday formally adopted its fiscal 2016 operating budget, a $5.07 billion spending plan up almost 2 percent from the current year. The county also adopted its updated capital improvements program. County Council members tentatively set the operating plan the previous week, adding roughly $17 million for council priorities, and adopting tax rates for the coming year. Thursday’s formal vote sets the plan for the coming fiscal year that starts July 1. The total operating budget funds county government, Montgomery College, Montgomery County Public Schools and the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission. “Because of slow revenue growth, this was a difficult year, but we take pride in our work,” Council President George L. Leventhal said. “The county executive sent us a good budget, and we have strengthened it in ways that are important to our community.” County employees will receive 2 percent raises in the new fiscal year, as well as 3.5 percent step increases and longevity increases — which vary by bargaining unit and are only offered to employees who have reached 20 years with the county. In total, the pay increases add about $18 million to the county’s bottom line. Of the county’s total revenue, $393 million will go into reserves. “We know from our fiscal plan that next year’s budget will present a serious challenge,” Leventhal (D-At Large)

of Takoma Park said. The reserve provides for contingencies like a May 18 U.S. Supreme Court decision that will cost the county millions, he said. The dim fiscal outlook kept the county’s overall spending increase low and will likely keep next year’s low, as well as potentially mean a tax increase. The county did not fully fund any agency’s request for fiscal 2016. County Executive Isiah Leggett said he faced a $238 million budget gap for fiscal 2016 with income tax and property transfer revenues bringing in less than expected. Leggett (D) recommended providing only maintenance of effort funding to the schools. State maintenance of effort law requires the county provide at least the same funding per student as the year before. A total of $2.318 billion will go to the school system, $75.1 million less than its request, according to council figures. This includes county money, and state and federal aid. However, money from another fund in the county’s budget also will go the school system to fund retiree health benefits. Leggett’s budget also recommended not fully funding Montgomery College’s budget request. The college sought $253.8 million. Leggett recommended $247.8 million. The council provided $251.5 million, adding roughly $7.9 million more than Leggett recommended to the college’s budget, in part, to avoid a large increase in tuition. For Park and Planning, the budget provides $29.87 million, which is $326,000 less than requested. kalexander@gazette.net

Olney dog park group elects board members n

Facility renovations discussed at annual meeting TERRI HOGAN

STAFF WRITER

The Friends of the Olney Manor Dog Park held its annual meeting May 13, electing three new board members. The group is a sanctioned citizen advisory board, an ofﬁcial voice representing park users to Montgomery Parks. David Modine, Erica McCullough and Chuck Lehman were elected to the executive committee, but their ofﬁces have not yet been deter-

mined. It is the ﬁrst term for each. Modine, who lives near Olney in Howard County, said about 20 people attended the meeting. Agenda items included an update on the facility’s recent renovations, signs, maintenance schedule, rules and elections. Most of the conversation centered on the renovations, which kept the park closed from December through April. Despite a few complaints, Modine said most people were pleased with the improvements. “I think the renovations are fantastic,” he said. “It’s too

bad that it took so long, but in my opinion, it was certainly worth it. Everyone needs to remember what the park was like before the renovations, and thank the advisory board and the parks service for getting things going.” The 1-acre dog park at 16601 Georgia Ave. opened in December 2009 and was funded by the State Highway Administration as an Intercounty Connector mitigation project at a cost of $135,000. The Friends group lobbied for improvements found at other county dog parks such as shade shelters and running water, which were both included in the recent renovation. Modine said some at the meeting questioned the placement of the water fountain, which now is working. It is centrally located outside the fence between the small dog park and large dog park, which is where the group and park ofﬁcials had decided on. “It’s very cold, and it makes me and my dogs very happy,” Modine said. Modine organized a re-

opening party May 17 . He said about 80 people attended. More information is at facebook.com/groups/ FOMDP/. thogan@gazette.net

Buddy Bench fosters friends at Cloverly Elementary n Girl Scouts came up with idea, raised funds as Bronze Award project

Book Your Bar Mitzvah/Bat Mitzvah Event Today!

TERRI HOGAN

STAFF WRITER

Most people have times when they could use a friend, and a new Buddy Bench at Cloverly Elementary School in Silver Spring makes it a little easier to connect with one. The bench was the idea of Junior Girl Scout Troop 1340, which has seven ﬁfth-graders led by parents Tracy Kiras of Silver Spring and Amy Creel of Ashton. Last year, the girls started thinking about a community service project for their Girl Scout Bronze Award. While researching ideas, they stumbled upon the Buddy Bench, a concept started by a secondgrade boy at his Pennsylvania school. The idea is simple: When children are lonely, they sit on the bench. When others see them on the bench, they invite them to play with them. Kiras said the decision to pursue the bench was unanimous, because the girls had all witnessed classmates feeling lonely on the playground, especially new students at the school. “The Buddy Bench is a way to eliminate loneliness at the playground, for kids who may have trouble ﬁnding kids to play with or making new friends,” said Kiras’ daughter Addy, 10. “It also leaves a legacy, since this is our last year at Cloverly.” The Buddy Bench appears to be serving its purpose. Girl Scout Jordan Clifford, 10, said the bench builds friendships on the playground. “Some kids walk around the playground with nothing to do,” she said. “They sit

Brunson. “We are hoping that the Buddy Bench will provide opportunities to strengthen, renew and create new friendships between students while keeping them actively engaged during recess. We aim to ensure that no child is left alone.” The troop raised $900 for the project through bake sales, a 5050 rafﬂe and a Go Fund Me online campaign. The bench arrived in March, but it couldn’t be installed until early May, after the weather warmed up. A contractor with ties to the school offered to assemble and install it at no charge. Kiras said one of the most important parts of the project is that the girls did much of the work themselves. They made a presentation for the administration, which supported the idea. They also made a presentation to the school, including a skit, which featured “do’s and don’ts” about how to use the bench for its true purpose — to build and enhance friendships.

“The girls learned to do research, gained communications skills, presentation skills and to give back to the community, while leaving a legacy at their school,” Kiras said. They also learned how it feels to make a difference in the lives of others. “I am really happy that the Buddy Bench is being put to use and that people are getting more friends,” Jordan said. thogan@gazette.net

InBrief

State fixing up roads in Rockville Rockville drivers can expect a smoother ride — eventually. The State Highway Administration is resuming work on a $2.1 million safety and resurfacing project on two stretches of busy roads in the city. The work is on Md. 28, which is East Jefferson Street and Veirs Mill Road between Monroe Street and First Street; and on Rockville Pike between Md. 28 and Md. 911. Weather permitting, the project should be completed by the end of the year, according to an agency news release. Besides resurfacing nearly a half-mile of roadway, the project includes the following: • Upgrading the traffic signal at the Rockville PikeDodge Street intersection with more energy-efficient light emitting diode signals; • Replacing and repairing sidewalks and driveways to comply with the Americans With Disabilies Act; • Installing new concrete curbs; and, • Cleaning and repairing roadway drainage inlets. The work means that traffic lanes on Md. 28 and Rockville Pike may be temporarily closed. Single-lane closures on both roads should be expected from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sundays through Thursdays, the agency said. Md. 28 may be closed overnight from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. and two lanes may be closed on Rockville Pike during those hours.

Propane gas grill ignites on Memorial Day BY

VIRGINIA TERHUNE STAFF WRITER

A child and two adults were burned Monday in Olney when a propane gas grill and a nearby shed caught fire. The incident happened at about 4 p.m. at a townhouse in the 3500 block of Bantry Way, said Pete Piringer, a spokesman for the Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Service. “A hose [from the propane tank] attached to the grill probably broke and spewed out a free flow of gas. It was like a flash fire,” Piringer said. “It torched the shed and the grill.” The three victims, who were near the grill, were taken with nonlife-threatening injuries to a hospital burn unit for treatment, Piringer said. Their names were not released. vterhune@gazette.net

OUR LADY OF GOOD COUNSEL HIGH SCHOOL

Retired Army Air Corps 2nd Lt. John R. Pedevillano talks with Natasha Fredericks, a religion teacher at Our Lady of Good Counsel High School in Olney, about his experiences in World War II.

Continued from Page A-1 by chance, in my opinion.” Pedevillano grew up in Bayonne, N.J. Soon after the attack on Pearl Harbor, he joined the Army Air Corps. He was only 19 when he earned his flight wings in 1943. Pedevillano was the youngest B-17 bombardier in his unit, flying a plane named “Miss Carriage” after a showgirl. He flew six combat missions over Germany before he was shot down on April 24, 1944. Vucci introduced him to her classmates by saying, “The missions you are about to hear — near misses of fate by flak and enemy aircraft fighters shooting through his nose window, air-battle wounds, precision targeting of weapon factories, his patriotic poem about Americans, keeping his buddies alive, being captured by the Nazis, surviving prisoner of war camps, being forced to march 300 freezing miles and prison escapes from his enemy Nazi captors — is what makes legends, because his faith in God is what kept him alive through all this anguish.” Pedevillano said his main message was the importance of faith. “Without faith, I could not have survived,” he said. “I had a little Bible with me. There are no atheists in combat.” Pedevillano believes he was part of what has been described as the Greatest Generation. “Everyone took part in the war effort; it was a time for everyone to come together,” he said. “You will never see that again.” Vucci said that while she has always been interested in what her grandfather had to say, it was special that her friends got to hear his stories. “It’s a different experience than reading from a textbook,” she said. She said her grandfather’s talk brought many of her friends to tears. The students hugged Pedevillano and he was visibly touched. C.J. Costigan, a junior, called Pedevillano’s talk “completely amazing.” “To hear his firsthand account of what it was like to be a P.O.W. was really cool,” he said. “He also talked about how he fell in love and his family. I didn’t expect it to hit me as hard as it did.” Paris Clark, also a junior, said she was impressed with how humble he was. “He saved a lot of people’s lives and did so much for our country, but he didn’t boast about it,” she said. “He was so kind, and spoke to us about what life was like when he was younger, and America was so united.” Pedevillano resigned his commission in 1945 and remained with the reserves until 1955. Taking advantage of the GI bill, he landed at the University of Maryland, where he met a beautiful young woman named Gloria. “I told the students that it was love at first sight,” he said. “I proposed after six weeks and four months later we were married.” Pedevillano tears up when talking about Gloria, who died last year after 64 years of marriage. Together, they had three daughters, including Anne, who is Vucci’s mother and a teacher at St. Peter’s School in Olney. Pedevillano is the last surviving member of his flight crew of 10. According to data from the Veterans Administration, World War II vets are dying at an average daily rate of 492. This means there are only about 855,070 veterans remaining of the 16 million who served in the war.

This was the first time Pedevillano shared his story publicly. “I was just one of 10,000,” he said. “The heroes are the ones who passed away.” He is scheduled to receive his remaining military honors in July. Bill Vucci, his son-in-law, said Sen. John McCain (RAriz.), himself a prisoner of war during the Vietnam War, is expected to present Pedevillano with two Distinguished Unit Citations and the Presidential Unit Citation at a ceremony at the Capitol. thogan@gazette.net

The fugitive-from-justice charge authorizes Alaska ofﬁcials to hold Tomaszewski on the pending murder and burglary charges in Montgomery County, Scott said.

Capacity also would be measured across all the schools in a given high school cluster, rather than per school, as is currently done. Moore has argued that the city’s lower threshold is ineffective, as it’s the county, not the city, that decides when and where schools are built. The lower standard mostly serves to needlessly limit development,

Montgomery County and Alaska ofﬁcers arrested Tomaszewski in Juneau after Montgomery County investigators linked him to a burglary on Ridge Drive in early April during which Tomaszewski stole a class ring that he later pawned in Rockville on April 20, according to the documents. After arresting Tomaszewski on the burglary warrant on May 16 on the cruise ship, investigators found cash in his wallet “soaked with what appears to be blood,” according to charging documents. Police searched his stateroom and found possible evidence. The next day, he was served papers in the Lemon Creek

Supporters of the current standards say it helps protect the city from overdevelopment and its schools from overcrowding. The issue has generated considerable attention, with 93 people testifying in two public hearings on the topic, and numerous others commenting during public forums at mayor and council meetings. Moore said Friday he has no idea what will come out of Monday’s discussion, but he plans to let Onley take the lead on how

Councilwoman Beryl Feinberg said Tuesday that she didn’t know what Onley is looking for or what further information she wants. The mayor and council have heard from many people, both city residents and those outside the city, Feinberg said. Councilwoman Julie Palakovich Carr said she appreciated Onley bringing the issue back in

But Newton said she thinks it’s also important to have a community discussion that involves all the stakeholders in the issue, including the county. The mayor and council’s meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. Monday at Rockville City Hall. rmarshall@gazette.net

Towing: A federal issue no more? Former councilwoman put in

charge of county procurement

Van Hollen proposes bill giving local government clear authority to regulate n

Leggett also appoints Goldstein ﬁre chief, Green to lead corrections n

KATE S. ALEXANDER STAFF WRITER

Nothing irks Montgomery County residents quite like finding their vehicle towed without their consent. Two federal lawmakers want to be clear who has the authority to address the problem. Montgomery receives roughly 200 complaints every year about towing done without the owner’s consent. About one third to one half of the time, officials say, the towing companies have not complied with county law. Towing might seem a local issue — it is the top complaint to Montgomery County’s Office of Consumer Protection. But a 1990s authorization bill for the Federal Aviation Administration defined towing companies as interstate carriers, and put authority for regulating in the industry, generally, in federal hands. Now, federal lawmakers want to give the power to regulate towing back to state and local governments. U.S. Reps. Christopher Van Hollen Jr. (D-Dist. 8) of Kensington and Don Beyer, who represents Virginia’s 8th District, have introduced the State and Local Predatory Towing Enforcement Act. The bill, which also was introduced in 2014, would provide state and local governments the clear authority to regulate towing. It’s unclear who in Congress has blocked the bill in the past and why, Van Hollen said, but he assumes it’s someone with a financial interest in keeping the status quo. Counties such as Montgomery already have some authority to oversee towing practices as it relates to safety,

Pending federal legislation would give local governments authority to regulate towing companies. said Eric Friedman, director of the Office of Consumer Protection. In 2013, Maryland passed a new towing law and allowed towing ﬁrms to recoup the actual costs of meeting the new law’s mandate. The law added roughly a $61 charge to towing bills. But current federal law creates a loophole that allows predatory towing practices to go, for the most part, unchecked, Van Hollen said. Predatory towing is where “spotters” are paid to watch private lots or tow truck drivers wait for someone to park in a private lot and violate posted restrictions. Often, vehicles are towed quickly, within a few minutes. “There’s no reason the federal government should be dictating towing policy to local governments,” Van Hollen said. Montgomery County Councilman Roger Berliner (D-Dist. 1) of Bethesda has proposed legislation to crack

down on abusive towing practices. His legislation updates the county’s 20-year-old law that addresses towing. County Council attorney Josh Hamlin said nothing in current federal law should prevent the county from passing Berliner’s bill, but Van Hollen’s legislation would remove any uncertainty about authority on regulating towing. Freidman said the only challenge to state or local law that he can remember never mentioned a federal preemption of that authority. “We don’t think there is a preemption prohibition, but want to make sure that there isn’t any potential confusion or grounds for any arguments,” he said. Van Hollen said his bill could pass in two possible ways: as separate legislation or part of the larger transportation authorization bill before Congress. kalexander@gazette.net

Former County Councilwoman Cherri Branson has been named to lead Montgomery County’s new Office of Procurement. County Executive Isiah Leggett announced his choice on May 14, along with other appointments. Leggett (D) also named acting Fire Chief Scott E. Goldstein fire chief and Rob Green, the interim correctional and rehabilitation director, director of the Department of Correction and Rehabilitation. All three appointments are subject to County Council confirmation. The county separated procurement from the Department of General Services this year. In 2008, the county created the Department of General Services and moved procurement under its umbrella, according to county documents. Legislation passed in March re-establishes the Office of Procurement as a principal office in the executive branch. Branson served on the council just shy of a year, taking over the remainder of Valerie Ervin’s term in 2014. Ervin (D-Dist. 5) of Silver Spring left the council to lead the Center for Working Families. Branson was appointed to the remainder of the term in January

Starting in late June, about 100 of Montgomery County’s 1,200 police officers will begin wearing body cameras to record their contacts with the public. The six-month pilot program’s goal is to test and evaluate different camerasand technology, which are intended to improve police accountability, particularly in incidents involving the use of force, while balancing that with privacy concerns.

2014, agreeing to not run for the seat in 2014. Branson’s resume includes nearly a quartercentury on Capitol Hill — including her most recent job as chief counsel for oversight to the House Homeland Security Committee — before coming to the council. During her time as a county lawmaker, she helped pass legislation aimed at removing employment barriers for former convicts and worked to improve small, minority- and women-owned business contracting — something she will oversee if confirmed to head the procurement department. Green has been acting director of Correction and Rehabilitation since March. He joined the county government in 2000 as a division chief and as warden at the Montgomery County Correctional Facility in Clarksburg and the Detention Center in Rockville, according to a county news release. He took over the department on an interim basis following the retirement of former Director Art Wallenstein in March. Earlier, Green spent 15 years with the Frederick County Sheriff’s Office and is a national leader in the field of corrections, the release said. Goldstein has spent nearly 25 years with the county. He has been acting chief since Jan. 1, when he took over from retired Chief Steve Lohr. Before taking over leadership of the fire and rescue service, Goldstein was division chief of operations, the department’s second-highest position.

“There will be times when [someone] asks not to be recorded, and the officer has the discretion to turn [the camera] off, but he or she must say aloud why they’re turning it off,” Chief J. Thomas Manger said during a May 11 budget discussion with the County Council. County officers will wear the cameras during traffic stops, arrests, transports and incidents involving people with mental problems, Manger said. The cameras will not be used to record conversations between officers or in places such as locker rooms unless the rooms are part of a criminal investigation. “When there’s a complaint,

[the cameras] will eliminate that speculation about what actually happened,” said Councilman Craig Rice (D-Dist. 2) of Germantown. During the pilot, the police department will handle public requests for video in about the same way that it currently handles requests for videos taken from police cars, Manger said. The fiscal ’16 department budget includes about $622,000 for the body camera program, including $422,400 for data storage, $103,000 for equipment and $97,000 for two new information technology employees. vterhune@gazette.net

Discovery CEO again tops national compensation list n Pay of $156.1M far more than those of other Montgomery executives BY

KEVIN JAMES SHAY STAFF WRITER

After falling to second place in 2013, Discovery Communications CEO David M. Zaslav was again the highest-paid executive of a public company in Montgomery County in 2014. That’s according to a review of publicly traded companies’ proxy statements recently filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The chief executive of the Silver Spring media giant added a new wrinkle in easily surpassing 2013’s most highly compensated CEO in the county, Martine Rothblatt of Silver Spring drugmaker United Therapeutics. Last week, Zaslav topped the list of the 200 highest-paid CEOs nationally, compiled by compensation data firm Equilar for The New York Times. That’s BizBriefs the first time he n Page A-6 has led those annual rankings. His previous highest ranking was fourth two years ago, according to Aaron Boyd, director of governance research for Equilar. Zaslav had total compensation of $156.1 million last year, most of which — $145 million — was in stock and option awards to be vested over several years. That arrangement ties most of his compensation to the performance of the company’s stock, which has dipped about 11 percent in the past year and could be different when the shares are cashed. His base salary was $3 million and he received a $6.1 million cash bonus. Zaslav’s perks included $296,930 for personal use of corporate aircraft, a $16,800 annual car allowance and $16,619

Looking on are (from left) then-Gov. Martin O’Malley, Montgomery College President DeRionne Pollard and Montgomery County Executive Isiah Leggett. for personal security services, according to Discovery’s proxy filing. Early last year, Zaslav signed a new six-year contract. Stock and option awards were specifically designed to be higher the first year of the contract, according to the filing. “A significant amount of [Zaslav’s] equity awards are made in the first year, vesting over time, with smaller awards from 2015 to 2018,” executives wrote. The contract requires Zaslav to hold at least 60 percent of the stock equity until the agreement’s end, and to use “significant portions” of any cash proceeds to buy Discovery stock through 2019. “At the end of his contract, Mr. Zaslav will own a substantial amount of equity of Discovery, which reinforces his alignment with our shareholders and encourages long-term ownership of our stock,” according to the proxy. Under Zaslav, who took over as CEO in 2007, Discovery’s market capitalization — the total dollar value of all listed shares — has risen from $5 billion to $20 billion. The number of worldwide subscribers tuning in to Shark Week programs and other shows has

grown from about 280 million to roughly 2.6 billion, according to the filing. The company’s revenue also increased from $3.4 billion in 2008 to $6.3 billion last year. A Discovery spokeswoman said the company did not have any comment on Zaslav’s compensation beyond what is in the proxy statement. Zaslav’s previous high in compensation was $52.4 million in 2011, which dropped to $49.9 million in 2012 and $33.3 million in 2013. He was the county’s highest-paid CEO from 2010 to 2012. Zaslav’s compensation last year was the highest on Equilar’s annual list since the $378 million listed for Apple CEO Timothy Cook in 2011, Boyd wrote in an email. Equilar’s list does not include privately held companies, such as the top hedge fund firms whose CEOs made more than Zaslav, according to Institutional Investor’s Alpha magazine. Last year’s top hedge fund earner, Kenneth C. Griffin, CEO of Citadel in Chicago, received $1.3 billion. Privately held companies aren’t required to disclose executive compensation to the SEC.

That was 33 percent more than she earned in 2013. Almost half of Hewson’s total was attributed to a change in

pension value, a total that could change by the time she uses those funds. About $9 million was in stock awards. Her perks included $73,362 for personal security and $218,568 for use of a corporate jet. Rothblatt’s total of $33.2 million last year was 13 percent less than she received in 2013.

Fourth-graders rule Bowers stays as interim superintendent — at least for a day Board to resume search process in January

Bowers’ appointment was met with clapping and cheering from the audience in the crowded school board meeting room. “I think you can tell that the MCPS staff is very happy that there will be stability and positive direction,” school board President Patricia O’Neill told Bowers. O’Neill said after the meeting that the board is “taking a pause” in its superintendent search and plans to resume in January. On May 14, the board announced it had picked Andrew Houlihan, chief academic ofﬁcer of the Houston Independent School District, as its “preferred candidate” out of a pool of 25 people it considered. Houlihan informed O’Neill in a May 17 letter that he was withdrawing his application. “While I believe that my leadership would be an asset to Montgomery County, I also feel that at this point in time, such leadership is not the right ﬁt for me, my family or the system as a whole,” he wrote in the letter. He did not elaborate further on his reasoning. Houlihan has not returned messages left for him at his home in Texas and through the Houston school system. About 17 county entities were represented inacommunitypanelthattalkedprivatelywith Houlihan. They included the district’s three employee unions, the Montgomery County Council of PTAs and various minority organizations focused on social and education issues.

Larry A. Bowers will remain Montgomery County Public Schools’ interim superintendent as the county school board continues to search for a new permanent leader. The board unanimously appointed Bowers to the role a second time on Wednesday, a few days after its top choice to become the school system’s next superintendent withdrew his name. State schools Superintendent Lillian M. Lowery approved the appointment, according to William Reinhard, a spokesman for the Maryland State Department of Education. Bowers, who has worked in the district for about 37 years, has served as the interim leader since February and now will stay until June of next year. Former Superintendent Joshua P. Starr resigned in February before his four-year contract would have expired this summer. During a school board meeting May 20, Bowers, who had been set to retire at the end of June, said he hadn’t planned to stay in the post, but was “willing to step in.” “I’m very committed to this system and what we’ve been doing, and I want to make sure it continues,” he said.

oper D&A Sports and Entertainment the project more than six years ago. But the progress both the county and developer expected last May has not happened. County Executive Isiah Leggett said the county cannot financially support the project now because of a tight budget and difficult fiscal outlook. Leggett (D) said the project also faces challenges with Metro and “its willingness to be a part of it.” Asked for comment, WMATA spokesman Mike Tolbert emailed this statement: “Metro is supportive of this project. However, we require that any commuter parking that is displaced by the proposed arena be replaced. As an end-of-

line station, Shady Grove is a busy station and its parking facilities are often at or near capacity.” No one, Leggett said, is in a position to come up with a plan that satisﬁes all of the concerns. “It’s a long, long ways from anything concrete happening out there,” he said. Tom Doyle of D&A Sports and Entertainment could not be reached for comment. Last year, Doyle said the question of how much parking would have to be provided at the arena was the only thing standing between the project and a green light from WMATA. But while the county hoped to have the issue resolved last July, Leggett said, the project still does not have WMATA approval.

pointed Houlihan bowed out. “Anyone making a move to a new area, a new job, has to consider their family, their professional circumstances, are they the right fit, and he made that determination,” she said. Union officials said Wednesday that they support Bowers’ appointment as the search continues. “I think everyone is extremely excited about the level of leadership and the level of stability that Mr. Bowers has brought and will continue to bring,” said James Koutsos, president of the Montgomery County Association of Administrators and Principals. Doug Prouty, president of the Montgomery County Education Association, said the board will now have more time to find “a really quality superintendent candidate.” “I’m actually very enthusiastic about this,” Prouty said. “I think it’s exactly the right thing to do at this time.” Byron Johns — education chairman of the Montgomery County branch of the NAACP — said an interim leader was the best of the board’s next options after Houlihan withdrew. In the next year, Bowers said, the district will focus on math, literacy and closing its achievement gap. “I think the message is that we’re going to stay on the same track but we have some hard work to do,” he said.

AFTER A SWING AND A MISS IN COUNTY’S SUPERINTENDENT SEARCH, TRANSPARENCY WOULD HELP southeast of Orlando. As of March, the school system planned interviews and meetings with each of four ﬁnalists. One meeting with each candidate was for the community, one for the board. Board members also would take each candidate out for a meal in a more relaxed setting. The process would conclude with a special meeting to make a decision. The interviews were open to whoever wanted to attend, rather than by invitation only. The school board announced which of the four candidates it liked best and why. Is Florida an unattainable dreamland for transparency? Not exactly. Nothing stops Maryland school systems from being equally transparent, other than a philosophy that values the privacy of personnel discussion above detailed communication with the public. Discretion is understandable. State and national school board associations told us that full openness, from application to decision, would chase away toptier superintendent candidates. They’d balk at tipping their hand to their present employers that they’re trying for a job elsewhere. Also, it could be embarrassing not

to be chosen for that other job. Kristen Amundson, executive director of the National Association of Boards of Education, recalled her time as chairwoman of the Fairfax County Board of Education in Virginia, when it was looking for a superintendent in the 1990s. Fairfax kept its search private until agreeing on three finalists, whose names were announced. One runner-up in Fairfax was forced out of the job she held when word got out about her job search, Amundson said. Perhaps highly qualified superintendents skip Florida because of aversion to a sunshine-infused process. But not all are afraid — the Vero News reported that 69 candidates applied to be Indian River County’s superintendent. The four finalists — and a fifth who dropped out — all came from Florida school systems. Maybe openness comes naturally there, and they’re used to it. Amundsen gave Montgomery County high marks for the inclusiveness of its process, when she heard that about 17 county groups and entities were represented in an interview session — which was closed to the public, with participants keeping the discussion to themselves.

What Montgomery is doing isn’t abnormal in Maryland, but we’d like to see the board take a chance and swing open the doors on its search. This would allow for helpful scrutiny and make the process more thorough and collaborative — just as voters choose an elected leader. Openness might be uncomfortable for some, but we suspect that bright, skilled education professionals still would pursue one of the nation’s best public-school posts.

LETTER TOT HE EDITOR

A public process

The latest setback in a search for the next Montgomery County Public Schools superintendent feels like a pratfall. School board members stepped in for a handshake with their favored candidate, but wiped out on a banana peel when he pulled his hand away. Board members have conducted their search for Joshua P. Starr’s successor in private, narrowing 25 applications down to seven finalists they interviewed in person. On May 14, they announced Andrew Houlihan, a rising administrator from Houston, as their “preferred” choice. Houlihan visited Montgomery County, met with representatives from several local groups — and immediately withdrew from consideration. It’s easy to speculate on why — the questioning was aggressive, the district was not what he expected, snow days would be a bear. All we have is a vague “no thanks” letter from Houlihan, declaring that his leadership style is strong, but “not the right fit” for Montgomery. We empathize with parents and observers frustrated by another mysterious breakup. Starr, a much ballyhooed hire, wanted to serve a second four-year term in Montgomery, but was pushed out before his first four-year contract was over. The board and Starr won’t explain what went wrong. At times like these, our thoughts wander longingly to Florida, which is at the opposite end of the spectrum of openness. For example, consider a Vero News story about a school superintendent search in Indian River County,

Freedom ranger chickens drink water at Rocklands Farm in Poolesville.

Chicken advocates aren’t heeding the majority’s wishes I just finished reading the May 20 Gazette article by Ryan Marshall titled “Soon, hens may not run a-fowl of the law in city.” I want to let you know that many Rockville residents, including myself, are not in favor of having chickens in the city of Rockville. We have enough problems with stray cats and dogs in our neighborhoods and need to focus our limited resources on taking care of those animals first. The chickens would be an added burden that we cannot afford. I actually attended the first meeting of the animal ordinance revisions held by Councilwoman Julie Palakovich Carr in a tiny conference room in City Hall. The meeting was

also attended by numerous pro-chicken individuals from outside the city of Rockville. I have attended every meeting held on the animal ordinance revisions since that ﬁrst meeting. From the outside looking in, it seems that this is a done deal before it even started. It seems that no matter how much we are against the chickens in the city of Rockville, Councilman Tom Moore and Councilwoman Julie Palakovich Carr are bent on pushing forward with the plan to allow chickens. Please note that the majority of Rockville residents are not in favor of chickens. Leslie Loomis, Rockville

Catch the Women’s World Cup spirit My family celebrated Mother’s Day a bit past the brunch rush this year. My brother arrived from work in Switzerland at noon and I picked him up from Dulles Airport to surprise mom. Halfway there I realized I forgot to set the DVR for the U.S. Women’s National Team’s friendly against Ireland, one in a send-off series for the upcoming 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Canada. Fret not, dad to the rescue — watching on my JENNIFER BEEKMAN parents’ giant flat SPORTS WRITER screen was a nice bonus. Then dad asked me, “Since when do you care so much about women’s soccer?” Since June 1999, when Mia Hamm and Company embarked on their historical World Cup championship journey. Although I never played soccer growing up, I became enamored with the creativity of the sport, with that team and the stories behind those amazing athletes, everything they stood for. But I can’t help but find it odd that I actually seem to be more interested in women’s soccer than my friends who were actual high-level players or even the national-caliber high school athletes I write about. I’m just jealous. Growing up, competing on the U.S. Tennis Association junior circuit, playing professionally was never a consideration. But that didn’t — and still hasn’t — stopped me from watching countless hours of women’s tennis. Thank you, The Tennis Channel, for being born. I love watching men’s tennis, but I’ve always been more drawn to women’s matches because that’s what I play. If I could be on court level watching world class tennis players in person on a weekly basis and have the chance to interact with them after matches, I would be doing that every chance I got. But my soccer playing peers, current high school and college soccer players, have been on a women’s professional soccer roller coaster ride. The Boyds-based Washington Spirit plays in the National Women’s Soccer League, which is the third installment of a professional league. Neither of the previous two lasted more than three years — NWSL is in its third. There’s little visibility for the sport, so if soccer fans want to watch good soccer — or football — their attention is on the English Premier League or Major League soccer. That’s what they’re used to and that’s where their loyalties lie. But change might be on the horizon. As Team USA is scheduled to begin its pursuit for its first World Cup since 1999 on June 8 against Australia, interest in the women’s game is again peaking. In its first two home games, the Spirit exceeded last year’s average attendance, according to Director of Sales Rob Bartlett. And league-wide attendance is up 16 percent. After the USWNT reached the 2011 World Cup final, teams in the NWSL’s predecessor league doubled, Bartlett said. This year all 52 World Cup games are scheduled to be broadcast live on FoxSports channels. More than 200 hours of coverage are expected. U.S. Soccer has done a great job marketing its players’ relatability and they have availed themselves to their fans. In the past two-plus years almost every player on the 23-person national team — as well as international talent — has come to virtually play in our backyard. But it’s more than just those players that make this women’s professional soccer thing work. Spirit players have immersed themselves in this soccer-rich community. The stands at games are packed with young girls in youth team jerseys who want to be the next Christine Nairn or the next Tori Huster. And that generation, perhaps, is who will really change the culture of women’s soccer. jbeekman@gazette.net

County claims four state tennis titles n

Churchill, Wootton, B-CC win championships on ﬁnal day of state tournament BY

ERIC GOLDWEIN STAFF WRITER

There was no shortage of state tennis championship experience between them. Sriya Movva won the 2013 and 2014 girls doubles tournament playing alongside Hayley Keats. Katie Gauch was a two-time mixed doubles title winner — ﬁrst with her brother, Michael Gauch and then last year with Elliott Thacker. But this time around, the Churchill High School girls tennis seniors — and close friends

— wanted to win together. So back in the fall, they teamed up and won a region title, qualifying for the tennis state championships. After an extended break — they only started practicing together again two weeks ago — they picked up right where they left off, cruising through the girls doubles draw and capping off their state title run with a 6-0, 6-1 victory against Sherwood (Molly Halprin/Kaitlyn Heo). “I think we played really well. It’s kind of like one of those partnerships where we have the chemistry,” Gauch said. “Especially with our last high school match, to get to end it with my best friend. It’s really nice,” Movva said.

Sherwood wins fourth straight softball crown Warriors defeat Northwest, extend state record with 83rd straight victory n

BY JENNIFER BEEKMAN STAFF WRITER

If there’s one thing the Sherwood High School softball team has proven over the past four undefeated years — in addition to its sheer superiority, of

course — it’s that the Warriors are not going to beat themselves. Even the best teams have bad days but Sherwood at 80 percent is arguably still better than any team in the state. So, if Northwest had any chance at ending Sherwood’s state record winning streak in Saturday night’s all-Montgomery County Class 4A state final held at the University of Maryland, College Park, the first-time state finalist Jaguars were going to have to play better than their best and hope for Sherwood to

give them an opening. Neither happened during the Warriors’ 4-0 win, though Northwest did stay closer to the Warriors than any county team this spring. In fact, Sherwood won the teams’ previous meeting, 9-2. “There’s no doubt we were going to have to do a great job taking care of the ball and not give [Sherwood] any extra chances,” Jaguars coach Kevin

St. Andrew’s to take its summer tour on the road Majority of county basketball teams will play in MPA Hoops league n

ADAM GUTEKUNST STAFF WRITER

Kevin Jones’ three-year plan worked to perfection. The St. Andrew’s Episcopal School’s boys basketball coach saw his tireless hours of practice, player development, recruiting and game planning come to

fruition on Feb. 23, when the Lions defeated Flint Hill (Va.) and captured their ﬁrst ever conference title. So naturally, heading into his fourth season at the helm of the program, Jones would like to stick to the gameplan — the same blueprint that got St. Andrew’s to heights never before reached. But there’s one rather large hiccup in the Lions’ summer plans — a 43,000 square foot one. Just one year removed from starting up a largely popular and successful summer league, St. Andrew’s will

be forced to take a one-year hosting hiatus due to a $16 million student center being built on campus. “I looked into some gym spaces, but that started to be too much,” Jones said, who noted that though one court is available for play, hosting a league in the middle of a construction site certainly wouldn’t be ideal. Instead, the Lions will hit the road this summer, attending college team camps such as the University of Maryland, College Park’s, in the hopes that they can rebuild the chemistry and

rekindle the grit that sparked their championship run last winter. But the task will be tall. While St. Andrew’s will return a good portion of its frontcourt, including athletic forward Anthony Duruji (10.5 points per game), center George Muresan (6.7) and forward Tyler Stewart (9.3), Jones will certainly miss the backcourt combination of Marcus Adkison (13.4) and Myles Law (9.6) — two ﬁrst team allconference selections last season.

Clarksburg girls win track title Douglass sprinter wins four gold medals at state championships n

ADAM GUTEKUNST STAFF WRITER

As Clarksburg High School senior Alexus Pyles broke the plane of the ﬁnish line to win the 300-meter hurdles Saturday, she effectively tripled her gold medal output from a season ago, adding to her 100-meter hurdle (14.49) win from earlier in the day and her triple jump (39-03.75) title from Friday. But for as much as she had accomplished, there was still one title on Pyles’ mind. “It would be nice to win states because we’ve all been working so hard,” Pyles said. “… I know it’ll be disappointing if it doesn’t turn out right.” Four hours later, Pyles and her teammates were spared that disappointment, as the Coyotes (78 points) captured their ﬁrst outdoor title with relative ease, completing an unbeaten season.

“Everybody thinks it’s easy because everyone is so talented, but it’s tough because they feel a lot of pressure,” coach Scott Mathias said. “So, sometimes it’s tense and things, but the thing about this group is that every opportunity to step up in a meet that mattered, they did; the whole team, across the board.” The Bowie boys won to back-to-back state championships. Flowers (59) ﬁnished second in the Class 4A boys competition, followed by Oxon Hill and Northwest (54 points). The Germantown school, one many considered favorites coming in, were without standout senior Diego Zarate, who was sick. In Class 2A, Douglass finished second (75) in boys competition. Blake (56) and Flowers (48) finished second and third, respectively in the girls 4A competition. Saturday’s meet was also the last chance for Whitman senior Clare Severe to accomplish something she hadn’t been able to do since her sophomore year:

run a sub five-minute 1,600. Last year, Severe said, she didn’t have the confidence to break the mark. But Saturday, Severe finally rediscovered her edge, posting the only sub-five time (4:58.48) in the 4A to earn a first place finish. “I was really happy,” Severe said. “My goal today was to break five and I was like, ‘As long as I break five, it’s going to be a good day.’ It’s my last high school race ever, possibly one of my last races ever and last times I run the mile. So, I was really just trying to go out there and leave it all on the track.” Montgomery County’s state champions also included Blake senior Martha Sam (100 meters; 12.04), Clarksburg senior Naja McAdam (high jump; 6-04), Magruder sophomore Stephanie Davis (200 meters; 24.41), Whitman senior Evan Woods (1,600 meters; 4:18.01), Paint Branch girls 400-meter relay (48.36), and Blake girls 1,600-meter relay (3:52.36). agutekunst@gazette.net

SUMMER

Continued from Page B-1 Replacing two guards of Adkison — the school’s all-time leading scorer — and Law’s talents simply isn’t a reasonable expectation at the moment, Jones said. Instead, the Lions will look to fill the backcourt void with a congregation of burgeoning talent. Rising senior Austin Allen has been having a solid offseason in the Amateur Athletic Union circuit, according to Jones, and will be looked to for veteran leadership at the guard spot. A pair of versatile rising juniors, Dominic Doyel and Chris Smalls, will look to fill in some of the shooting holes around the perimeter, while rising freshman Heru Bligen will battle for some playing time in his first varsity season. “[They] have their own strengths and it’s going to be our job to collectively mold them and utilize the strengths of our team,” Jones said. “They’re up for the challenge and they’re working hard right now. They’re not going to be Marcus and Myles, but they’re going to be themselves and that’s going to help us compete.” The majority of county teams will be playing in the MPA Hoops summer league hosted by Spencerville Adventist Academy — a 16-team league beginning June 1 that features 15 Montgomery County Public School teams. Of all the teams competing in the league, perhaps no group has a bigger void to begin filling this summer than Magruder, which lost standout Joe Hugley to graduation. Hugley, a

Wootton sophomore Miranda Deng won the girls singles tournament, defeating Atholton’s Victoria Kogan (62, 6-3) in straight sets, winning the title for the second straight season. “It’s definitely different because I feel like everyone’s like ‘oh, you’re the defending champion. So it’s nice to win,” Deng said. The Patriots also took gold in mixed doubles, with Jake Gordon and Kelly Chen defeating teammates I-Shiun Kuo and Ruchi Nanda (6-2, 6-4) in an all-Rockville school finals match.

der that has produced 270 runs this spring. “I think Jaime threw a wonderful game, I couldn’t have asked for any better,” BarberStrunk said. “She was fired up and ready to go. She was in it from the beginning.” Understandably, both teams appeared a bit nervous at the start. But the Warriors settled in a bit after going ahead, 1-0, in the bottom of the second inning. After stranding the state’s all-time home run leader, senior shortstop Nicole Stockinger on third base in the first inning, junior McKenzie Bina scored on a passed ball. The run was unearned, however, as Bina reached on an error on a fairly routine fly ball to center field. Northwest had its first glimpse of a possible hit in the top of the fourth inning on Chloe Hickman’s ball looping toward left center field. But Stockinger, a Towson University recruit, made a backhanded catch leaping toward the outfield. It was a three-run fifth inning that all but clinched Saturday’s win. Junior Marisa Mancini led off with a double and scored on senior second baseman Julie Swarr’s double to center field. After Stockinger was intentionally walked —

agutekunst@gazette.net as she often is — she drew a throw to second base by taking a big lead and sophomore right fielder Amanda Berkley headed home when the ball traveled into center field. Junior designated player Kara Carney then drove Stockinger home on a double through second base. “Each girl on this team contributed in her own way,” Barber-Strunk said. “Whether she was on the bench or in the field, she was doing something to help this team.” Karlie Stanford’s hit coupled with a rare Sherwood error put two runners on with one out in the top of the seventh inning but the Warriors ended the threat seemingly as quickly as it began. The scary part is, though Sherwood will graduate some of its biggest playmakers, such as Stockinger, the majority of this year’s lineup is returning. Northwest won’t graduate anyone. “It’s pretty unbelievable [to win four straight championships],” Stockinger said. “Coming in freshman year we didn’t think, ‘Oh, we’re going to win four straight state championships.’ But all the hard work and dedication paid off.” jbeekman@gazette.net

“As both being seniors this year, we just really wanted to end it well. We needed it,” Dubrow said. “... We’ve had a solid team the past four years but this was the year that we had the most depth. And so we ﬁnally got to play doubles together and it means a lot.”

Corpuz said. “We didn’t play flawless and Sherwood is just that good.” Saturday’s victory, which was by the smallest margin aside from Tuesday’s one-run, state semifinal win over Leonardtown, was Sherwood’s 83rd straight win dating back to May 2011. On May 4 the Warriors (21-0) broke the state record for consecutive victories with their 78th, a 7-0 win over Blair — the last team to defeat Sherwood — in the regular season finale. “Credit goes to the girls who started this in the past and the girls who have kept it going now,” Warriors coach Ashley Barber-Strunk Said. “It’s all their hard work and dedication that got them here.” Sherwood junior pitcher Jaime Schmier — who had a perfect game going through five innings — struck out seven in a two-hitter. The Warriors tallied five hits and were also able to take advantage of three costly Northwest defensive errors — in addition to a few defensive miscues. Northwest junior hurler Bridgette Barbour earned five strikeouts against a batting or-

6-foot-7 center who recently committed to play next season at Robert Morris, not only dominated play in the paint, but had the rare ability to also step out and score from the perimeter. But it’s not Hugley’s offensive contributions that longtime coach Dan Harwood is concerned with replacing. “We’re going to miss him defensively,” Harwood said. “He blocked 88 shots. It’s more the rebounding on the defensive end because we have no natural rebounders in our program and Joe averaged nine rebounds. ... We’re going to go from our leading shot blocker having 88 to having someone next year get about 10 or 12. It will be more of a concern defensively.” Without Hugley’s 6-foot-11 wingspan looming in the paint, Harwood said, the team will require a stricter defensive discipline, whereas in the past they could often get away with a gamble here and there. In Hugley’s absence, Harwood will look to 6-foot-7 junior Nico Wolff, a raw talent who rarely played last season, to develop more of a defensive prowess over the summer. On offense, the Colonels’ opponents will likely see a lot more of rising junior Brian Boehlert, who good moments last season playing behind the likes of Hugley and Ronald Hammond. “I think this year he’ll be really comfortable,” Harwood said. “Without Joe there, I expect Brian to have a big summer for us and then next year I’m hoping he’ll be one of the better offensive players in the county.”

Gaithersburg Post 295 out for this Legion baseball season n

American Legion team is looking for help BY

PRINCE J. GRIMES STAFF WRITER

There will be no Gaithersburg Post 295 American Legion baseball team this summer, third-year coach Pete White said explaining he didn’t have the manpower required to run a team and was forced to cancel the season. White’s pitching coach stepped down after last season and so did another, younger member of his staff. The 75-yearold White was unable to put together a staff in time for what he said was an April 1 deadline, which was extended to April 15. In addition, the team’s home field at Seneca Valley High School was no longer available to them, leaving White with another issue to worry about while trying to put together a staff. “I put the word out,” White said of his efforts to ﬁnd help. “I can’t be pitching batting prac-

tice, cutting the grass, painting the lines and it’s 100 degrees, by myself. But nobody stepped up to say they’d like to help.” Post 295 which pulls from Northwest, Poolesville, Quince Orchard and Seneca Valley has enjoyed tremendous success over the years, including 11 county championships. The team won state championships in 2003, 2004 and 2008. In 2013, White’s ﬁrst season with Gaithersburg, the team continued that trend as one of the top legion teams in the area. Last season, the team took a slight step backwards, ﬁnishing below .500. White, a hall of fame coach at Georgetown Prep, also coaches junior varsity baseball at Einstein. The lack of a team this season bothers him to the point where he questions his own efforts, he said, even though he said he did all he could. “I had players call me, ‘When are the tryouts going to start Mr. White?’ I didn’t want to say we weren’t going to have a team,” White said. “Maybe you can say we took the easy way out. I don’t

know. I’d hate to think that, but I guess we did, in a sense that we couldn’t make things fall into place. I’m real unhappy about it, but maybe I didn’t do enough.” Post 295 General Manager Rick Price, who coaches the Cal Ripken Collegiate Baseball League’s Rockville Express, said the issue of a field had been solved as the team was going to play its games at Watkins Mill. But he said despite efforts to ﬁnd help for White, that was the biggest issue. “We couldn’t get any help,” said Price, who coached at Post 295 for 28 years. “It’s too much for one person. You really need at least three. “It is painful. Those kids that played for us, three decades, they just gave everything to the Legion program. They were there everyday. Nobody played harder than 295, I can tell you that right now. I just feel like we left a hole there. It’s sad that no-one will step up and take that. We’ll just keep looking.” Price said he is still heavily invested in the program he helped build. He and White are hopeful

SportsBriefs Sherwood grad earns Rookie of the Year Former Sherwood High School baseball standout Matt Chanin, who recently ﬁnished his freshman season at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, was named 2015 America East Conference Rookie of the Year at the annual awards banquet held May 20 in Lowell, Mass. He became the ﬁrst Retriever to ever earn this honor, according to a news release sent to The Gazette. Chanin led the America East with a 1.60 earnedrun average in league play and was second to teammate and the league’s Pitcher of the Year, Conrad Wozniak, with a 1.85 overall ERA. He tallied 38 strikeouts in 58.1 innings of work and held opposing offenses to a .249 batting average en route to a 5-2 record.

Good Counsel grad makes national roster Good Counsel High School’s all-time leading scorer for girls soccer, 2013 graduate Margaret “Midge” Purce (101 goals), was named May 20 to the U.S. Under-23 Women’s National Team’s 22-person roster for a four-team tournament scheduled for Wednesday through Sunday in Norway. Harvard University’s leading scorer in the fall for the second straight season, Purce was a member of the U.S. U-20 WNT that lost in penalty kicks to Korea DPR in last summer’s FIFA U-20 Women’s World

Cup. As a freshman in 2013. Purce became the ﬁrst rookie to be named Ivy League Player of the Year — she was also Rookie of the Year that season. This past fall, during which Purce earned AllIvy ﬁrst team honors and was selected to the 2014 NSCAA/Continental Tire All-Mid-Atlantic First Team, she scored a team-high 10 goals, two of which came in the Ivy League-clinching win over Columbia on Nov. 9.

County stars All-American Bowl invite Three players from county schools were nominated to participate in the 2016 U.S. Army All-American Bowl. Those players, Trevon Diggs of The Avalon School, Dwayne Haskins of Bullis, and Keandre Jones of Good Counsel were among 14 players selected from Maryland. Considered to be one of the premier showcase games for high school seniors, the U.S. Army All-American Bowl is scheduled to be televised on NBC. “The U.S. Army All-American Bowl is a unique event designed to showcase and recognize the talents of America’s youth while celebrating the team that makes a difference every day for the Nation — the U.S. Army,” said Mark S. Davis, deputy assistant secretary of the Army for marketing.

for the team’s return to competition next season. After a stellar 2014 season, Damascus Post 171 is expected to be the team everyone is looking to knock off. Laurel Post 60 won the Montgomery County

title last season. Gaithersburg will have to wait at least another year before it can get back into the mix. “I contacted a lot of ex-players,” Price said. “We’re hopeful that we’re only going to be out

a year. That’s the plan at this point. We’re hoping that a former player steps forward and wants to take this team. The kids are there and they want to play.” pgrimes@gazette.net

Washingtonian follows dream, makes wine in the process Gambal one of few foreigners to purchase Burgundian vineyards

Avoiding the watercooler Play focuses on bad behavior, job issues at men’s magazine

MORGAN FECTO

SPECIAL TO THE GAZETTE

Alex Gambal has been able to fulfill the dream of living abroad better than most. An exWashingtonian who “got the bug” by hanging out in wine stores, (primarily Mayflower Wines and Spirits) in the 1980s, he left his family’s parking BY LOUIS MARMON lot and real estate business in 1993 to move with his wife and children to Burgundy. Gambal initially worked for Becky Wasserman-Hone at her export firm, Les Serbet, for a few years but eventually decided to make his own wines. First he had to complete the rigorous curriculum at Lycee Viticole, the venerable wine school in Beaune. By then, it was time for the family to move back to the U.S. so the children could prepare for college. Undaunted by the long commute between continents, Gambal established his eponymous Maison Alex Gambal in 1997 by purchasing young wines and aging them in an old, unheated building he rented to use as a winery. The next year he made his wines from pressed grape juice and eventually was able to actually buy unpressed grapes. Burgundy has an insular reputation as region

Savvy Internet users can avoid links with NSFW in the title, but the audience of “NSFW” at the Round House Theatre will descend into a world of lies, gray areas, and scandal — whether they’re willing or not. “It pulls you in and implicates you for being pulled in, which is the true implication for media and advertising today,” said the play’s director Meredith McDonough. “It’s a dark comedy that really makes you think and challenges what you assume every day about image, what you see in print — what is true and what is false.” Lucy Kirkwood, a British playwright and telewriter for “Skins” among others, took the title of her 2012 play from the acronym meaning “Not Safe For Work.” In the play, journalists at a men’s magazine objectify one of their underage sources when they publish a raunchy photo spread of her. Layers of scandal unfold before the audience, who must distinguish truthful characters from crooked ones, including equally unethical journalists at a women’s magazine. “We keep laughing at how badly these people are behaving,” said McDonough, “You think, ‘Oh my God. This is what I’m inundated with every day.’” When Round House Artistic Director Ryan Rilette showed McDonough “NSFW,” it struck her as a timely

WINE

Continued from Page B-4 not friendly to strangers. Gambal claims that, “Actually it was fairly easy for me but remember I did not come here to ‘make wine.’ I came here to live with my family and because we were here as a family, in the local schools, the kids on the local sports teams, etc., we were not seen as interlopers or carpetbaggers.” He currently lives full-time in Burgundy, has moved into a new winery in Beaune (with a tasting room) and has been slowly increasing his holdings. In 2003, he became one of the few “outsiders” able to purchase Burgundian property and in 2011 he became the ﬁrst foreigner to own a portion of the Grand Cru Bâtard-Montrachet vineyard. Gambal now owns 30 acres of vineyards via several recent acquisitions including a merger with Domaine Christophe Buisson. His wines are now 80

PLAY

Continued from Page B-4 commentary on the exchange between media and audience. “I found it true to what’s happening right now with the way we look at women in this current moment — photoshopping people who are nearly perfect, and the way we hold our own identities [as a result],” McDonough said. McDonough shows the audience this relationship by putting them in the middle of it. “You are pretty bombarded with image in the play,” she said. “There’s a lot of pictures of women. It asks you to go, ‘Did I first appreciate the female form of this figure? Or did I question the age of the person pictured first?’” The play also explores issues that resurface again and again in history, such as the pressure to build a meaningful career in a job drought. “Part of what the play is doing is that half of the characters are recent college graduates who are trying to find work in this environment,” McDonough said. Sam, McDonough’s favorite character in “NSFW,” personifies this crisis most in the play. “He’s the everyman who’s just out of college and is trying to do his best,” she said. “You have

percent domaine produced with the remaining grapes coming via long-term contracts with small suppliers. The vineyards are all organic and biodynamically farmed. He expects his total 2015 production to be 6,000 cases (75,000 bottles). There is an underlying precision to Gambal’s wines. Each demonstrates a respect for the speciﬁc Burgundian terroir with clarity and grace. The team at Maison Gambal is clearly focused solely on creating the best wines possible from some of the world’s ﬁnest sites. As Gambal says, “If I wanted to be making money, I would be parking cars.” Here is a look at a few examples within Gambal’s splendid portfolio: As a longtime fan of this vineyard, it is especially pleasing to taste the Alex Gambal Chambolle-Musigny Les Charmes 2012 that shows a lovely, feminine character beginning with red cherry and dark fruit aromas which progress into complex

layers of soft, spice accented blackberry, raspberry and earthy flavors with a prolonged, balanced finish. The 2011 version has a notable smokiness and the flavors are a bit sharper, but it still remains an exquisite wine. More affordable is the very tasty Alex Gambal Chorey-lèsBeaune 2012 with raspberry and cherry flavors in a medium frame and good balance while the 2011 from the same vineyard demonstrates a bit more depth and more noticeable oakiness during the finish. When considering Gambal’s wines, do not ignore the whites, including the Alex Gambal Puligny-Montrachet 2012 with a notable minerality intermingled within the toasty peach, lime, apple and hazelnut notes. Also delightful is the honey and floral scented Alex Gambal ChassagneMontrachet 2012 whose aromas extend into the brioche, peach, grapefruit and spiced apple flavors during the persistent, spice infused finish.

a warmness in your heart for this kid who can’t get a leg up. There’s this pressure of, ‘I have to hold on to this job,’ when the stakes are so high. That’s what makes the play true.” Truth is another muddled mess that the audience wades through in “NSFW.” Deciphering the characters’ true intentions and balancing truth and lies made “NSFW” a fun outlier from plays McDonough directed in the past. “There’s a version where everyone’s equally evil, and we were not interested in doing that version, and there’s a version where everyone’s equally naive, and we were not interested in doing that version,” said McDonough. “In a play that’s about lies and scandal and versions of the truth, not letting one part take over too much was a careful calibrating act for me.”

Interpretation was everevolving for McDonough during rehearsal, too. “Even last night watching the run-through, I had a huge realization,” she said. “I thought with one character, ‘Oh, I think he’s lying much earlier in the scene.’ It’s like solving a puzzle, and we’ve laughed a ton.” McDonough changed virtually nothing in her version of Kirkwood’s play for an American audience — save for a hand gesture or two. “The greatest barrier between the U.S. and the U.K. is in fact the English language,” said McDonough, who worked with a dramaturg to fully understand Kirkwood’s English jokes. “We don’t have the right to change the play and there aren’t really U.S. versions of the jokes, so sometimes actors do gestures with certain words, and then you’re like, ‘Oh, that’s what it means.’” McDonough may represent the misrepresented in her “NSFW,” but that didn’t exempt her from scandal. “I emailed back and forth with the set designer for the main image, and we looked at a lot of pictures of naked and scantily clad women,” she said. “He’d send me an email to work with the subject ‘Naked Women Attached,’ so it was like our own version of NSFW.”

Honoring a legend Olney Theatre Center decided to honor playwright Arthur Miller the best way they could, by doing one of his shows to celebrate what would have been his 100th birthday. “The Price,” is currently running at Olney Theatre now through June 21. Miller’s 1968 work focuses on the price of family, the price of furniture and the price of our choices. The play is centered around two brothers, Victor and Walter, who meet in a New York apartment to sell the remainder of their deceased father’s belongings. Victor and Walter took very different paths in life after their father lost his fortune due to the Great Depression. Victor chooses to become a police ofﬁcer, while Walter struggles through school and becomes a surgeon. When the brothers meet to sell their father’s belongings, they have conﬂicting views about what should be done, which results in contention between the two. Tickets for the show are $35-$55. For more information, visit olneytheatre.org or call 301-924-3400.

The Kensington Arts Theatre will bring its run of “Chess” to a close this Saturday at 8:15 p.m. A talkback with the cast and artistic staff is slated for Friday. The pawns in this drama form a love triangle: the loutish American chess star, the earnest Russian champion and a Hungarian-American female assistant who arrives at the

international chess match in Bangkok with the American but falls for the Russian. From Bangkok to Budapest the players, lovers, politicians, and spies manipulate and are manipulated to the pulse of a monumental rock score, written by Tim Rice and Bjorn Ulvaeus, that includes “One Night in Bangkok” and “Heaven Help My Heart.” Tickets for the show are $17 to $25.

BlackRock Center for the Arts presents the exhibition “Precarious Balance” featuring Maryland artists Sabine Carlson, Nancy Frankel, and Bobbi Shulman in The Kay Gallery through Saturday. Admission to the exhibit is free and open to the public. Carlson explores conﬂicted mobility in paintings layered with fragmented and unexpected details that move in and out of view. Frankel manipulates space and form in sculptures made from steel, cast stone and wood that suggest movement, shifting balance, and playfulness. Shulman captures the play of light and shadow in expressive and spontaneous abstract paintings inspired by observations in a changing landscape. Surprise and a sense of wonder are part of Carlson’s process, as she creates paintings which describe places at the intersection between doing too little and going too far. Carlson, a resident of College Park, uses imagery inspired by the observation of motion within the landscape, particularly details that appear and disappear while walking at a slow pace.

A sense of balance, precarious yet centered, is integral to Frankel’s sculptural work. Exploring space, either encapsulated or activated, and using what she calls “organic geometry,” her abstract sculptures reflect her love of nature and architecture. Frankel, a Kensington resident, works in a range of materials, casting with Design-Cast (a man-made stone), welding steel and carving wood. Rhythm and color dominate Shulman’s abstract paintings where bold planes and lines intertwine. Gestural brushstrokes define energetic spaces and playful layers of color flow into one another as she creates both pleasing harmonies and striking contrasts. Shulman, a resident of Potomac, MD, employs a bright and fresh palette and relies on the versatility of acrylic to allow additions and subtractions while building layers of paint. In this new series of works on paper which have been mounted on panel, she uses mixed media sparingly, relying predominately on fresh and bright acrylic paint to build depth with shapes and patterns.

John Williams has composed so many award-winning movie scores, it’s hard to think of what he hasn’t done.

As for awards, he’s been nominated 49 times for Academy Awards (winning ﬁve of them), 25 Golden Globe awards (winning four) and a whopping 65 Grammy Awards (taking home 22 trophies).
