School system examines policy on moving teachers Reassignment after accusations could be rare n

When a teacher has been accused of inappropriate behavior with a student, that teacher could wind up in a new school. Montgomery County Public Schools is considering new rules that would make such reassignments less likely in cases of “a sexual nature,” said chief oper-

of sexually abusing 14 children at New Hampshire Elementary School in Silver Spring and raping a 15th victim at Eastern Middle School, also in Silver Spring. Joynes taught at 11 schools during 27 years in the school system. School officials have not said whether Joynes was reassigned to different schools because of accusations at any of the schools. The new tracking process would aim to help the school system better follow behavioral

The school system recently studied several cases involving employees who engaged in inappropriate behavior with students over extended periods of time, leading the school system to make changes to its tracking system for reports on such alleged behavior, according to school system memorandums. The discussion over the changes comes on the heels of the arrest of Lawrence Joynes, a music teacher who was accused

County schools Superintendent Joshua P. Starr sent a June 11 confidential memorandum, supplied by the school sys-

tem, to members of the school board describing plans for the new system, noting the use of a confidential database for reported allegations and training that principals and supervisors would receive. In a recent interview, Bowers said that reassignments also will be considered. Bowers said that when it comes to cases in which inappropriate behavior of “a sexual nature” is suspected from an employee, reassignments will

City wants traffic impact analysis before making lane recommendations BY

ELIZABETH WAIBEL STAFF WRITER

City of Rockville staff say they do not have enough information from the county to determine the best way to run bus rapid transit through the city. The Montgomery County Council is planning hearings on

a draft Countywide Transit Corridors Functional Master Plan, which includes 10 bus rapid transit, or BRT, routes. The county has several options for where the buses would travel, including letting them drive with the regular traffic, repurposing car lanes to be used by buses only and building new lanes for buses in the median. Three of the proposed transit routes run through the city of Rockville — to the north and

Rockville Senior Center is encouraging fitness for the fall emotional distress and encourages them to think positively about their future. “We shot most of the footage for it last year in Virginia,” Waters said. “We’re just trying to finish it.” But some of the footage he needs to complete the project is “stupidly expensive,” Waters said, running as much as $5,000 a second for scenes of Afghanistan and Iraq. To help finish the film, Waters’s production company, El Gato Rojo Productions, is hosting a fundraiser at 6:30 p.m. Sept. 18 at Tami’s Table Cafe and Wine Bar in Potomac. The director and producers will be on hand and there will be hors d’oeuvres and wine. At 7 p.m., there will be a screening of the film’s trailer.

Tukey, a former magazine publisher and HGTV host who wrote “The Organic Lawn Care Manual,” is known by some as “the godfather of the natural lawn care movement.” For the past year, Tukey has focused on Glenstone, where he has been an organic landscape consultant since 2010. Tukey said he is excited about Glenstone’s mission — the seamless integration of art, architecture and landscape — and thinks that it will provide the world with a living classroom about organic landscaping.

Man pleads guilty to two Montgomery County carjackings According to plea deal, Byron Govan could be sent to prison for 35 years n

BY

ST. JOHN BARNEDSMITH STAFF WRITER

A White Plains man has pleaded guilty in Montgomery County Circuit Court to two carjackings that he committed last year in Rockville. In court Monday. prosecutors said Byron Govan was behind a series of crimes stretching across Maryland and into Virginia that have not yet been resolved. At his sentencing in December, Govan, 28, faces a total of 100 years in prison, but 65 of those could be suspended, for the current counts against him, prosecutors said. According to prosecutors and court records, Govan’s spree

in Montgomery County began in late September 2012, when he stole the car of a woman who was depositing money at an ATM on Congressional Lane in Rockville. T h e woman, Molly Hauck, said in an interview after the court proceeding that she made Govan two mistakes: going to the ATM at night and leaving the car doors unlocked with her purse inside. When she returned to her car, Hauck found it locked, the windows closed, and a cleanshaven man dressed in a green plaid shirt inside, rummaging through her purse. “I looked right at him in the

window,” she said. “He was just a good-looking young guy — I wouldn’t have looked at him twice if he was doing something legal,” she

added.

She believes he had been in the bushes by the ATM. “He was just waiting for someone to come along,” she said. When she told him to leave the car and take the money, he told her he had a gun, Hauck said. Her personal checks were in the car, and police soon began tracking Govan when he used the woman’s checks to buy prepaid credit cards, prosecutors said. Police eventually pulled surveillance footage of Govan using the cards at a Little Caesar’s in Temple Hills just a day after he stole Hauck’s Prius. But that wasn’t all, accord-

ing to prosecutors: Govan’s spree stretched across Maryland and into Virginia. Just days after he stole the Prius, Govan drove to Anne Arundel County and robbed a store clerk at a Rite-Aid at gunpoint, according to Montgomery County Assistant State’s Attorney Eric Nee. On Oct. 31, a little more than a month after that first carjacking, police discovered the shell of the Prius Govan had stolen; it had been deserted in Rockville and burned. That same day, according to his charging documents, Govan used a handgun to steal a Lincoln Aviator from two people who were sitting in it in a parking lot on Rockville Pike. Police spotted the car on I-495 and chased Govan, but he escaped and deserted the car behind a library in Silver Spring, court records show. The gun was never found,

but in court, Adam Harris, Govan’s public defender, said it was a BB gun. Govan also used credit cards taken in the second robbery to buy himself a slew of goods, court records show: prepaid credit cards and two pairs of Nike sneakers worth almost $400. He also bought a sports cap and gift cards, and as the evening drew to a close, spent almost $200 at a sports bar in Waldorf. Police tracked Govan down after he tried to hit on a woman in Alexandria and put his phone number in her phone, prosecutors said in court. Police charged Govan in November 2012. Govan — tall, bearded, and wearing glasses — was silent through most of the proceedings. Harris declined to comment for this story. Calls to a phone listed for Govan’s family were

not answered or returned. After the plea, one of Govan’s victims expressed relief. Hauck, a Kensington psychologist, said she had been depositing money at a Wells Fargo ATM on Congressional Lane. She was at the ATM for just a few moments before heading back to her car and discovering Govan inside. The robbery has left its mark on her, she said. “Now, I’m vigilant,” she said. She no longer goes to ATMs at night. In November, Govan is scheduled to plead to a separate armed robbery that took place in Anne Arundel County last September. According to prosecutors, he also is the main suspect in an armed robbery that took place in a Dunkin’ Donuts in Alexandria, Va. That case has not yet gone to trial. sjbsmith@gazette.net

For eight years, Cristina Ulrich has taught kindergartners at Brookhaven Elementary School in Rockville — students she described as “still so, so excited” to come to school. On Sept. 3, Ulrich — already named the 2013-2014 Montgomery County Public Schools Teacher of the Year — was recognized again for her role teaching the young students. In a surprise visit to her classroom, Superintendent Joshua P. Starr told Ulrich she had been named a finalist for the 2014 Maryland Teacher of the Year award. “I’m in a little bit of a shock,” she said later that day. Ulrich will be considered for the award along with six other teachers from around the state. Various Maryland education organizations had a voice in the judging process that determined the finalists.

Cristina Ulrich leads her kindergarten class back to their room Tuesday after music. Ulrich, a teacher at Brookhaven Elementary School in Rockville, was named a finalist for the Maryland Teacher of the Year award. “Cristina is a wonderful example of the dedication and commitment that our educators have to our students and our community,” Starr said in a released statement. Ulrich has taught kindergarten at Brookhaven since she joined the school system in 2006, staying with the students she said have an enthusiasm for learning.

“I don’t have to trick them into wanting to be in school with me,” she said. Kindergarten also marks a period during which she said she sees students experiencing significant growth in their education. “Seeing that growth is truly amazing, knowing that I had a little part in seeing that kid transition through that pro-

cess,” she said. One driving factor in her decision to become a teacher, Ulrich said, was her first- and second-grade teacher Mary Hawkins-Jones — who also happens to have recently been named “The Most Hopeful Teacher in America.” “She sparked that curiosity and sense of hope that her students could accomplish goals through hard work,” Ulrich said. Looking to Hawkins-Jones’ example, Ulrich said she similarly aims to emphasize with her students the importance of putting their all into their work. “Instead of me telling my students ‘You’re so smart,’ I would emphasize, ‘You worked really hard, that’s why you accomplished that,’” she said. The next step for her as a finalist, Ulrich said, will be an interview process. The winner will be announced on Oct. 11 at the Maryland Teacher of the Year gala in Baltimore. lpowers@gazette.net

Two people waited until the last minute to file for Rockville’s nonpartisan election this fall. Don Hadley, chair of the Rockville Planning Commission, and Claire Marcuccio Whitaker filed paperwork to run for a council seat on Friday, the last day to file. Shortly after Friday’s 5 p.m. filing deadline, the City Clerk’s office said six had filed to run for four council seats. Beryl L. Feinberg, Tom Moore, Virginia Onley and Julie Palakovich Carr are running as a “Team Rockville” slate. Mark Pierzchala and Bridget Donnell Newton, both Rockville council members, have filed to run for mayor. Pierzchala is running with the council slate. The current mayor, Phyllis Marcuccio, is not running for re-election. The mayor and council members serve two-year terms. Until Friday, the “Team Rockville” council candidates had been running unopposed. Hadley said the lack of candidates was a large factor in his decision to run. “There are very few people in the race, and those who are

in the race have some degree of relationship to each other because they’re on the slate,” he said. “...I wasn’t of the feeling that that really presents a great choice to the citizens of Rockville.” Hadley said he does not want to campaign on knocking down any particular candidates, but serving on the Planning Commission and Charter Review Commission brought home the need for more citizen participation in government. “I want to sit at the table, if I can, and if the people want me to. Only a seat at the table,” he said. Whitaker could not be reached for comment as of Tuesday. In addition to Mayor and Council seats, the City of Rockville’s ballot is expected to include advisory referenda so residents can weigh in on proposed changes to the city’s charter. The referenda will ask people if they would support adding two council member seats to the city council, holding elections every four years instead of every two years and holding city elections at the same time as presidential elections. Rockville’s election is set for Nov. 5. The voter registration deadline is Oct. 7. Visit rockvillemd.gov/election13 for more information. ewaibel@gazette.net

When Montgomery County Executive Isiah Leggett travels to China later this month, much of his time will be spent trying to build relationships to help the county’s tech industries. The trip, scheduled for Sept. 15-25, will feature a delegation of 86 people including Leggett (D) and County Council members Hans Riemer (D-At large) of Takoma Park and Roger Berliner (D-Dist. 1) of Bethesda, as well as Montgomery County Public Schools Superintendent Joshua Starr, two school principals and business executives from around the county, said Lily Qi, director of special projects for the Office of the County Executive. Not all of the delegation will be going to every stop, Qi said. Much of the trip will be

geared toward developing relationships and attracting funding for Montgomery’s biotech industry, one of the main types of industry in the county. The trip will include stops in Shanghai, Beijing and other cities. Montgomery County is home to about 300 biotech companies, the most of any county in Maryland and among the largest group of such companies in the country, said Kristina Ellis, a spokeswoman for the county’s Department of Economic Development. Starr and the other county school officials are also scheduled to visit several schools on the trip. Among the roughly two dozen businesses that will be represented on the trip are Marriott International, Discovery Communications, BioHealth Innovations, Aeras, US Pharmacopeia, Sirnomics and Washington Labs, according to a county handout on the trip. rmarshall@gazette.net

Montgomery County trying to keep Pepco rate appeals in a local court Gaithersburg joining county in its appeal instead of filing separately n

BY

KATE S. ALEXANDER STAFF WRITER

Montgomery County wants the four appeals of Pepco’s latest rate increase heard locally, but the utility company and the Public Service Commission want Baltimore City Circuit Court to decide the cases. Pepco and the PSC have asked Montgomery County Circuit Court to transfer the county’s appeal to Baltimore City Circuit Court. That’s where the utility, the Office of People’s Counsel and AARP also have filed appeals on the Maryland Public Service Commission’s July 12 approval of higher rates. Montgomery County has asked Baltimore City Circuit Court to transfer the cases filed there to Montgomery County Circuit Court. All parties want the four appeals heard in one court but at issue is which court ultimately will decide if the PSC’s decision to grant Pepco higher rates and an upfront surcharge will stand. In its July ruling, the PSC granted $27.9 million of a $60.8 million request by Pepco for higher rates, adding about

“The biggest issue has been the cost of street lighting, because there are separate rates for power to street lights.” Lynn Board, Gaithersburg city attorney

$2.41 to the average customer’s monthly bill. It also granted the electric utility $24 million of a $192 million request for an upfront surcharge, the first ever awarded by the commission. Known as a grid resiliency charge, the approved surcharge would tack an additional 6 cents on monthly customer bills in the first year and would fund additional improvements to Pepco’s infrastructure. The charges went into effect on July 12. Montgomery County Attorney Marc P. Hansen said the appeals should be heard where the bulk of those affected by the PSC ruling live, Montgomery County. Pepco serves about 536,000 customers in Maryland, of which about 312,000 are in Montgomery County, according to the company. “Montgomery County Cir-

cuit Court is the most appropriate venue,” Hansen said. “This is where the ratepayers are.” Pepco, in a statement provided by spokesman Marcus Beal, said it filed in the Circuit Court of Baltimore City because the Public Service Commission and the Office of People’s Counsel, which is an advocate for the state’s residential utility customers, are located there. “This is in line with Pepco’s previous activities involving judicial review,” the statement said. “Three of the four parties that have filed an appeal also have filed in the Circuit Court of Baltimore City.” Regina Davis, a spokeswoman for the PSC, wrote in an email that the commission’s motion to transfer Montgomery County’s case to Baltimore City argued that Baltimore is where the first appeal was filed and is the most convenient to the various parties. The Office of People’s Counsel said it supports trans-

ferring Montgomery’s case to Baltimore City Circuit Court. A hearing in Baltimore City Circuit Court on the request to transfer the cases to Montgomery County is scheduled for Oct. 18. No hearing has been scheduled in Montgomery County Circuit Court, according to court records. The city of Gaithersburg has said that it will join Montgomery County in its appeal of Pepco’s new rates instead of forming its own appeal. The mayor and council decided on this approach in a closed session on Aug. 19 and made the decision public at a regular meeting on Sept. 3. However, Hansen said Tuesday that the city has not yet shared its plans with his office. According to City Attorney Lynn Board, the city is concerned about the increased power costs. “The biggest issue has been the cost of street lighting, because there are separate rates for power to street lights,” she said. The higher rates would mean a $40,000 increase in power costs over previous years. The city has planned for a higher power bill in its budget, Board said, since the case was in progress when the budget was drawn.

Elrich committed to propose a wage bill, even if he is alone n

Measure would raise county minimum to $12 an hour

BY

KATE S. ALEXANDER STAFF WRITER

With or without co-sponsors, one Montgomery County councilman says he will introduce a bill to nearly double the county’s minimum wage. Seeking to close the gap between the county’s high cost of living and actual wages, Councilman Marc B. Elrich is drafting legislation to increase the county minimum wage from the federally mandated $7.25 an hour to $12 an hour. “Everybody knows you can’t live on minimum wage,” he said. “But everybody knows that $12 an hour isn’t really a living wage either. So I’m trying to narrow the gap.” Elrich (D-At large) of Takoma Park said he plans to introduce the bill Sept. 24. Elrich announced his bill two weeks ago and had planned to introduce it this week. His goal was to let the council tweak the legislation as it moved through the process, he said. But in his discussions with the business community and colleagues, he decided he could address their concerns before he introduced the bill. He included a provision to phase in the increase over several years and language that keeps the bill in line with existing exclusions to the federal minimum wage. “I’m hoping that some of the changes will get me some cosponsors,” he said. As of Monday, a day before Elrich was going to introduce his bill, he had no co-sponsors. With or without co-sponsors, however, he said he will bring his bill before the council to start discussion on raising wages. Across the state and nation, lawmakers are pushing to raise minimum wages. A bill by former Sen. Robert Garagiola (D-Dist. 15) of Germantown to raise Maryland’s minimum wage to $10 an hour died in committee in the 2013 state legislative session. But the effort is likely to continue in 2014. Raise Maryland, a single-issue

campaign focused on increasing Maryland’s minimum wage, plans to push for a bill next session that raises the wage to $10.10 per hour. Matt Hanson, campaign coordinator, said the bill is essentially the same as last session’s $10 wage, adjusted for inflation. Increasing Maryland’s minimum wage has drawn support from politicians including Rep. John Delaney (D-Dist. 6) of Potomac and Attorney General Douglas F. Gansler, who is pursuing the Democratic nomination for governor. But $10 an hour does not go as far in Montgomery County as it does in some of the state’s rural regions, Elrich said. According to the 2012 Maryland Self Sufficiency Standard by the Maryland Community Action Partnership, a single adult with no children needs to earn $17.07 per hour to meet basic needs in Montgomery County, such as food, rent and clothing. In a two-adult home with children, each adult must earn $19.62 per hour and single parents need to earn even more, as much as $36.90 per hour, to meet basic needs. Montgomery spends a significant chunk of its money on health and human services to subsidize basic needs for its lower-income residents. For the current fiscal year, which started July 1, the county looks to spend more than $253 million on health and human services. “Everything we spend is basically a wage subsidy,” Elrich said. Between subsidies for housing, child care, food and health care, the county is paying with taxes what should be paid with wages, he said. “You think you’re overtaxed. The easiest way to reduce services is to start increasing the amount of pay people working local jobs make,” he said. “I don’t want a welfare state, but the cause is not people not working, the cause is the wages being paid.” On Monday, Council President Nancy Navarro’s chief of staff, Adam Fogel, said Navarro (D-Dist. 4) of Silver Spring had not received a copy of Elrich’s bill for introduction on Sept. 24. Typically, the council president meets with staff to set the agenda a week in advance.

SCHOOL

Continued from Page A-1 “think long and hard” if reassignment is an appropriate action and that there are “many shades” to the issue. “Now I guess it depends on the severity of maybe what the action is: Was it something that was said? Was it maybe someone touching someone and that was seen as inappropriate and maybe it wasn’t intended to be? All the way up to the most severe of sexual involvement or, you know, actual abuse,” said Durso, a former principal. “That’s the dilemma; it’s very difficult to lump everything into one category,” he said. Durso said the school system needs to consider false accusations. According to some people’s perceptions, “just being accused is tantamount to being guilty.” “It’s a huge gray area, but just because it’s complicated doesn’t mean we shouldn’t address it,” he said. In the Aug. 28 memo, “transfers” and “reassignments” are listed among a group of seven potential types of disciplinary action, which also includes a written reprimand, demotion, suspension, coursework and

termination. Bowers said, however, that the inclusion of transfers and reassignments — as well as coursework — in the list of potential disciplinary action is a “miswording” in the memorandum. There are cases in which keeping an employee in the school where a report was made would create a bad working and learning environment, he said. Generally, a reassignment would happen in a situation “where the principal feels it’s in the best interest of the school to not have that person there,” Bowers said. Susan Burkinshaw — health and safety committee co-chair for the Montgomery County Council of Parent Teacher Associations — said she thinks that if an employee is suspected of being a danger to students, they should not be kept where they might continue the alleged behavior. “They (the school system) should not put them in a position where they have access to children,” she said. Burkinshaw said she has faith in the school system that they would “know better” than to move a teacher to a different school where they might still pose a danger to students.

While it’s important to keep students protected, she said, she recognizes there’s “a fine line” the school system has to walk when it comes to addressing suspicious behavior. “There should not be a witch hunt against anyone suspected” of inappropriate behavior, Burkinshaw said. “They can’t just be willynilly putting people on probation based on rumors,” she said. In Joynes’ case, according to court documents, the principal of New Hampshire Estates Elementary placed a variety of restrictions on him in November 2011, including “activities only in public areas, classroom door to remain open during instruction, stay off playground during recess, no sitting at the cafeteria

The Montgomery Housing Partnership renovated 67 units at Halpine Hamlet in Rockville and opened them as affordable housing.

APARTMENT

Continued from Page A-1 to replace older buildings with luxury apartments and Class A office space. Montgomery Housing Partnership Inc., a nonprofit affordable housing developer based in Silver Spring, bought the apartments in 2009 and started renovating them. The partnership held a ribbon-cutting at Halpine Hamlet on Tuesday to debut the new features. Robert Goldman, Montgomery Housing Partnership president, said the organization wanted to make sure another developer didn’t buy the apartments and demolish them to make way for office space or luxury apartments outside the residents’ price range. “Just [in] a matter of time, this property was going to be gobbled up and people displaced,” Goldman said. The partnership plans to rent out most of the 67 gardenstyle apartments to people making 60 percent or less of the area median income. In Rockville, 60 percent of the median income for a family of four is about $64,500. The apartment upgrades included energy-efficient appliances, new roofs and renovated bathrooms. Another big change is the playground in the middle of the complex that was built last spring. Shari Ashman of Rockville donated funds for the playground to mark her 70th birthday in May. She said she had been planning a family cruise, but changed her mind after a friend told her about someone else who donated a playground in Washington, D.C., for her 60th birthday. “I called up the whole family and said, ‘No cruise; you’re

coming to Maryland,’” Ashman said. Contractors set up some of the supporting pieces that required professional attention, and about 80 of Ashman’s friends and family members finished putting the playground together. Hebron said the renovations have been good for the apartment complex, especially the better lighting and the new playground. More important, however, are the safe area and friendly people. One morning during the winter, she said she woke up to find that some of her neighbors had already cleaned the snow off her car. Goldman said things like the playground encourage residents to spend time outside their apartments and get to know one another. “We’re building a sense of community, not just having a bunch of housing,” he said. ewaibel@gazette.net

with students, use of staff restrooms only, don’t be alone with any student in classroom, and no touching of students in any form.” These restrictions were put in place after a second-grade student told her mother, who then told the school’s principal, that Joynes had “asked her if she wanted to crawl into his lap” and if she dreamed about Joynes; and after a first-grade student told her teacher that Joynes tickled her during instruction, according to court documents. Not speaking to any specific case, Bowers said that, generally, restrictions placed on a school system employee are “not necessarily disciplinary actions.” Such restrictions can be put in place following situations

Page A-7 in which a teacher’s behavior, though not inappropriate, made a student feel uncomfortable, he said. “It’s the result of either observations that others have made or concerns that have been raised,” Bowers said. If a teacher were to have several or “extensive” restrictions placed on them, Bowers said, that doesn’t mean the teacher actually did all the things they are directed not to do. A principal can choose to be cautious in the restrictions on an employee, he said. He added he has not seen “a lot of examples” of restrictions placed on employees. When asked if extensive restrictions were concerning, Bowers responded, “This is my

perspective — it’s concerning to place restrictions on a teacher for anything,” he said. “But you have to say that a lot of it is about perceptions.” A person’s words or actions could be innocent, he said, but another person may perceive it as inappropriate. Durso said that when a teacher is under extensive restrictions — such as those placed on Joynes — that are starkly different than what the school asks of another teacher or employee, it raises questions. “If it’s that bad, then I think you have to wonder: Does that person need to remain in that position?” he said. lpowers@gazette.net

Glenmont woman sentenced in her father’s death Donna Parojinog was daughter, caregiver; ordered to spend 12 months in jail

n

BY

DAN MORSE

THE WASHINGTON POST

The police officers knew something was wrong as soon as they walked into Donald Parojinog’s bedroom. The 83-year-old was dead — curled on his side atop a plasticcovered mattress. Air fresheners sat nearby, unable to mask the overwhelming odor of decay. The officers pulled back a thin blanket to find an emaciated, naked body covered with more than a dozen open sores. Five of the wounds were so deep that bones were exposed. The discovery led to a 2 1/2-year neglect investigation and ultimately the conviction of Donna Parojinog, the vic-

tim’s daughter and caregiver — a case that culminated with her sentencing hearing Monday in a Montgomery County courtroom. The central question: How much jail time, if any, should the 61-year-old educator, who had no previous criminal record, receive? “This raises a number of different issues which many people of our age have to deal with,” said Judge David Boynton, 55, ticking off the challenges of caring for aging parents. “It is difficult. It is expensive. It is emotionally demanding.” At the hearing, Parojinog said that her father, who had suffered three strokes, told her he was ready to die. He refused food, she said, and she heeded his wish. “He didn’t want to live if he could not get around on his own,” Parojinog, who has continued to care for her elderly mother, told the judge. Experts in elder care expect

more neglect cases to surface around the country as people live longer and more suffer from dementia. Many of them are with family members who can become overwhelmed by stress and fail to provide the care that’s needed, said Mary Twomey, co-director of the National Center on Elder Abuse. “We can not like what she did,” Twomey said of Parojinog’s actions, “and still understand how she got into that situation.” Donald Parojinog once worked for the U.S. Postal Service and cut hair in a barber shop on Georgia Avenue in the District. He and his wife, Sylvia, were longtime members of Nativity Catholic Church, and Donald was an active member of a local Knights of Columbus chapter, serving for two years as the grand knight. A snappy dresser, he’d show up for Knights meetings in, say, a white suit, white shoes and a

tie, while his buddies arrived casually attired. “Dressed to the nines,” his friend Bill Davis fondly recalled in an interview. Behind the chair at the barber shop, Donald was more reserved, conversing about the topic of the day but generally following the lead of his loyal customers. But by 2007, he was growing forgetful. The strokes eventually left him unable to get around on his own — a frustrating situation. “He wanted to be able to take care of himself and he couldn’t,” said another friend, Everett Crosson. Nor could he help his wife, who had also fallen ill, as much as he wanted to, according to Crosson and others. Stepping into the role of his caregiver was the couple’s daughter, Donna. As she took him to hospitals for treatment, nurses and doctors increasingly took note of Donald’s un-

Darryl Ross Holliday, physicist and proposals manager for environmental sciences, died at his home in Germantown, MD, on September 4, 2013, of natural causes. He was 63. Mr. Holliday graduated in 1973 from Oakland University in Rochester, MI, with a master s degree in physics. He was hired by Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, a Navysupporting contract research center of the university. JHU/APL also provided technical advice to the state of Maryland on the siting and licensing of all electrical power facilities in the state. At about the time he joined JHU/APL, the state got its first application for a nuclear power plant that fell under the siting law, and so he was drafted into the JHU/APL advisory team and assigned the role of handling nuclear safety issues. Shortly thereafter, recent faults were discovered in sediments near the site, and that became a major part of his portfolio. He went into the field with geologists, and he fell in lifelong love with geophysics in general and plate tectonics in particular.

flection of Parojinog’s otherwise clean record. In court Monday, Maloney, the prosecutor, criticized her explanation that she was heeding her father’s wishes, saying that he was too mentally impaired to know what he wanted. “I don’t think he asked to die with bug larvae inside infected wounds,” Maloney said. “I don’t think he asked to die in his own feces and urine, and live in that squalor.” Parojinog’s two daughters spoke at the hearing. “She’s just a very caring and loving person,” one of them told Boynton. “Never malicious. Not a malicious bone in her body.” Her attorney, Jeffrey Harding, urged the judge to put her on probation, not in jail, so that her work as an educator wouldn’t be affected and she could continue caring for her mother. Parojinog spoke for about 11 minutes, starting off by saying how much she admired and loved her father. For him, living meant going to church on Sundays. It meant taking care of his wife. “When he couldn’t do that anymore, he lost interest in living,” she said. “He said so over and over again. He apologized all the time to my mother and to myself for having to care for him.” Then it was time for the judge, Boynton, who spoke about Donna Parojinog’s life outside the case. “There’s certainly a lot there that indicates you are an otherwise very fine person,” he told her. He acknowledged the hardships of caring for aging parents. But he drew a distinct line: Once a person assumes that role, he said, they have to at least provide a minimum level of care. “There has to be some punishment imposed. There has to be some message sent that this type of conduct is unacceptable and it cannot be tolerated by our community,” Boynton said. “If you can’t do what it takes, then initially you have to say no. You can’t say yes and fail to act. It’s that simple.” Boynton sentenced Parojinog to 12 months in the county jail. Jennifer Jenkins contributed to this report

kempt condition. They reported what they saw to social workers, who tried to arrange at-home assistance, according to prosecutors. But they said Donna Parojinog sometimes turned away help. “She was a red stop sign at the door. Do not come in,” Montgomery Deputy State’s Attorney John Maloney said in court Monday. On Jan. 18, 2011, the county’s 911 operators received a call from a woman speaking in a soft voice from her home on Billman Lane in the Glenmont area of the county. “I have an elderly, deceased person in my home,” Donna Parojinog said. “He’s not moving or responding, and he’s not breathing.” The 911 operator said they were sending someone right out. “Now, ma’am,” Parojinog responded, according to a recording of the call played in court, “when they come, do they have to have all those bells and whistles going on?” Montgomery Police Officer Chris Malouf arrived about the same time as the medics. Speaking in court Monday, he said he could smell the odor of a decaying body as he walked in. And he noticed something else: “There were flies in the entryway,” he said. “Flies were flying around everywhere.” The officers found Donald Parojinog on a hospital-style bed. Donna Parojinog told the officers that she had tried to give her father food three days earlier. The next day she saw her dad alive, but then she didn’t see him for two days — in large part because she spent that time in her own room, sick herself. “I had a very violent something, flu, virus. I don’t know what,” she told detectives. An autopsy showed that Donald Parojinog weighed 99 pounds at his death and had suffered from malnutrition and sepsis linked to the open sores on his body. On May 30, his daughter pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter, admitting that she had neglected her father. As part of the deal, prosecutors agreed to ask for a maximum of 18 months behind bars — a re-

County honors residents of African heritage Festival and an African naming ceremony round out list of activities

n

BY

PEGGY MCEWAN STAFF WRITER

Since 2008 Montgomery County has designated September as African Heritage Month, with a number of events designed to celebrate the cultural heritage of county residents of African descent. But it is a celebration for the community at large, said Daniel Koroma from the county’s Office of Community Partnerships. “Many people realize that we are from Africa but Montgomery County is home,” he said. “It brings together [the idea] that we are part of this community.” County Executive Isiah Leggett started off the month with a celebration Sept. 3 at the Silver Spring Civic Building. The event included a reception hosted by members of the Montgomery County African Affairs Advisory Group, music and African foods. “Montgomery County has become a magnet for talented people from every corner of the globe,” Leggett said in a released statement. “In September, we celebrate African Heritage Month with events across the County recognizing the extraordinary contributions made by our residents of African ancestry.” On Saturday the African Women’s Cancer Awareness Association is scheduled to host a walk-a-thon to raise funds for its work promoting the importance of cancer screenings, especially mammograms for women. “Most of the women we deal with have never had a mammogram,” said Ify Nwabukwu, the association’s executive director. “Eighty percent don’t have health insurance.” Nwabukwu said this will be the ninth year of the walk-athon, which is open to everyone. “Cancer does not discriminate,” she said. “There are no color barriers.” For more information on the event visit www.AWCAA. org. On Sunday there will be an Ethiopian Cultural Festival from noon to 9 p.m. at the Silver Spring Veterans Plaza at Fenton Street and Ellsworth Avenue. The festival will feature children’s activities, music, cultural performances and a fashion show. The month will also include a Diaspora Town Hall meeting at 6 p.m. Sept. 18 at the Silver Spring Civic Building. The president of Sierra Leone, Dr. Ernest Bai Koroma, will host the meeting in collaboration with the African Affairs Advisory Group of Montgomery County. A Pan African Cultural Festival will round out the month’s activities. It is scheduled from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sept. 21 on the plaza of the Silver Spring Civic Building. “In the morning there will be a African naming ceremony for African-Americans who traced their DNA back to Africa,” said Ada Brown, a Panafest organizer. “Traditional leaders from African countries assign names in a traditional way.” There will also be a march to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington and the 50th anniversary of the formation of the African Union, 54 countries who join together to bring about change on the continent of Africa, Brown said. “It’s an extremely important event for people of Africa and all people, no matter what race, to come together to understand each other and to help our young people be proud of their culture,” Brown said. pmcewan@gazette.net

O’Malley’s farewell tour

Brown, Gansler, Mizeur. Craig, George, Lollar. Maryland’s political solar system is filling up with gubernatorial-candidate planets. What’s a sitting governor — and presidential-maybe — to do? How can he redirect sunlight and attention his way? Martin O’Malley’s solution: Go on tour and proclaim his accomplishments after 6½ years in office. O’Malley’s statewide criss-cross is called “Better Choices, Better Results.” The governor is repackaging his achievements as a “greatest hits” album and playing it for all to hear. Pop star Robin Thicke’s “Blurred Lines” could have been the soundtrack when O’Malley’s tour kicked off Aug. 28 at Goucher College in Baltimore. A video DON’T LOOK on Maryland’s quality BACK UNTIL THE of life played more like a campaign ad, minus the JOB IS DONE “Authority” line. O’Malley is scheduled to present more of the same Sept. 26 in Charles County, Oct. 31 in Howard County and in November in Prince George’s County and Baltimore City. O’Malley, a Democrat nearing the end of his two-term limit, openly admits — as if it were a secret — that he’s laying the groundwork for a possible White House run. While O’Malley unabashedly trumpets his successes more than a year before his successor takes over, Montgomery County voters should think about what the governor has done for them. The repeal of the death penalty and the legalization of same-sex marriage certainly play well here. Remember, though, that O’Malley was lukewarm on repeal for years. Other than testifying at bill hearings, his approach was to stall instead of taking action on new rules after the a court struck down Maryland’s capital punishment protocol. Maryland had a death penalty, but couldn’t use it. And the governor also wouldn’t commit beyond civil unions for gay couples until he evolved into a champion for expanding marriage. Those issues — and alternative energy — could get liberal voters to dance in presidential primaries. But his legacy will be remembered also for a pizzicato of tax increases. The sales, income, corporate income, gas, flush and cigarette taxes all increased during his two terms. And he signed the millionaire’s and rain taxes into law. With possibly the exception to dancing, if it were taxed, O’Malley increased it. All that led to the crescendo of his two terms — the legalization of gambling, anathema to many liberals because casinos prey upon the ones least able to afford slot machines and table gaming. Even though the 2016 presidential campaign is coming to life, O’Malley has a quarter of his second term left. The governor’s focus should be on the next songs on his playlist, not reminding voters’ of previous hits.

The minimum wage

As the major state and county elections are still a year away, supporters of a minimum-wage increase have lined up an array of politicians. The announced and presumed Democratic candidates for Maryland governor — Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown, Del. Heather Mizeur and Attorney General Douglas F. Gansler — have all expressed support for an increase. The current rate, $7.25 an hour, was last increased in 2009. Maryland’s rate matches the federal rate. Nineteen states have minimumwage rates higher than the POOR TIME TO federal rate. Proposals at MANDATE A the state and federal level HIGHER RATE IN A would push the rate to $10 DOUR ECONOMY an hour or higher. Another supporter is Rep. John Delaney, who made his millions as a financier, and has pledged his own money to support an increase to the Maryland minimum wage. From inside Montgomery, County Councilman Marc Elrich (D-Dist. 1) of Takoma Park wants the county to raise its minimum wage to $12 an hour. He is expected to introduce county legislation soon to establish the rate. For the proponents, the timing is perfect. Raising the minimum wage is an election-friendly issue for Maryland. Opposing an increase could be seen as opposing our hard-working neighbors who struggle to make ends meet. For the people who have to pay the minimum wage, however, the timing is horrible. The economy remains fragile; no one doubts better days are ahead, but the question remains how far off those better days are. An increase could hurt the people who most need help — by increasing costs, employers may hire fewer minimum-wage workers. Teenagers could lose the chance at getting their first jobs. A better solution would be to wait at least a year to revisit and renew a debate. By then, the signposts to the future economy should point in more definitive directions.

Fees sprout from tree bills This letter is in response to the letter to the editor published on Aug. 28 regarding tree canopy [“New tree legislation a step toward sustaining tree canopy”]. Conservation Montgomery continues to characterize all homebuilders as obstructionists and to misrepresent the facts, betraying their real agenda of stopping new home construction. The tree legislation that was passed by the council in July, Bill 35-12 Tree Canopy and Bill 4112 Roadside Trees, were based on anecdotal and selective examples and it is understandable the public is confused about the real consequences of these bills. The most recent Park and Planning study shows that our canopy is thriving and exceeds neighboring states. So those who may be concerned with the county’s tree canopy should be comforted that there is data proving there is no shortage of canopy. I am sure anyone who has been through one of our recent storms also knows this to be true. Without demonstrating a need for legislation, County Executive Ike Leggett submitted Bill 35-12 that used satellite imagery to measure the canopy located within the limits of disturbance. It did not matter if the canopy was disturbed. The sole purpose was to create a fee to

plant trees somewhere else. His bill did not save any trees or require any tree planting; it just established a new fee for a certain part of the population to fund a county goal — though the goal was never identified. Renewing Montgomery represents most of the builders in the downcounty area. In response to Leggett’s bill, we proposed a progressive tree planting requirement on all lots whether trees were removed or not. Our goal was to have an immediate positive impact for the community by planting trees instead of paying fees. DEP agreed with our approach. After several meetings, we also agreed on a reasonable number of trees that could fit on a lot. Then everything changed. Just prior to the County Council vote, DEP arbitrarily tripled the number of shade trees (oak, elm) required, and decided not to count ornamental trees (cherry, magnolia), making it impossible to plant all the trees on the impacted property and creating a new tree fee which was their original intention. Ornamental trees are desired by homeowners and grow to 30 feet so they definitely provide shade. The builders did all the compromising on these bills and now all property owners are economically impacted.

This legislation affects everyone who needs a sediment control permit — which is required for a single-room addition, a new driveway, a front porch or a new home. For residents on a fixed income, seeking to make minor improvements to age in place or accommodate the handicapped or create a rentable space, these additional fees may make their projects unaffordable. Unbelievably, even if no trees are removed, the property owner must agree to plant a significant number of trees on their private property to proceed with their home improvements! As an example, under this bill, an 8,001-square-foot lot will require nine shade trees. The county also requires excessive spacing making it impossible to plant this number of trees on site. The county’s solution is to require the property owner to pay a fee for any tree not planted. The fee for a lot this size is estimated at $2,250. These fees will be used by the county to plant trees somewhere else. That’s a lot of fees for a front porch. Montgomery County has the strictest regulations in the U.S. regarding stormwater management, and the county agrees these regulations are the primary reason trees are removed. So in effect the county is requiring an

Voters need to ask questions

What do voters want? County Executive Ike Leggett, former county executive Douglas Duncan, and County Councilmember Phil Andrews are all hoping to be elected to a four-year term as Montgomery County executive. They base their campaigns on their years of experience in government. Their priorities and reasons to vote for them are different, but all three claim to have a strategy to lead the county out of a “Great Recession.” The differences are how each candidate will prioritize fiscal responsibility, manage aggressive growth and be “transparent” — a buzzword that means integrity. The large number of building permits for works-inprogress is obvious, and new construction is everywhere: public school additions; recreation facilities; high-rise apartment, condominium and office structures; new retail locations; single-family and townhouse land use. Forthcoming is more development as the county planning authority and the City of Rockville and Gaithersburg master plans have adopted

future land use zoning. By November 2014, the economic downturn may be in the past. Governance must respond to the welfare, protection and civil rights of all citizens. County governance has assumed that residents will accept higher taxes and numerous fees, while public service employees have been generously compensated. Future state and county tax and fee increases will challenge both senior citizens on fixed incomes and low-income residents on tight budgets. Ask! What more can the three candidates for county executive do for our county than is already ongoing? There is always unfinished business. The candidates have a transportation vision for commuters, involving costly rapid transit systems built with help from state politicians using taxpayer dollars. Will rapid transit make county business more productive? According to “Montgomery County moves into the fast lane,” [The Gazette, Aug. 28], the county has more private companies than any other Maryland county.

Fixated on the Purple Line

Since WWII, Montgomery County has been on the path to be a colossal urban-suburban metropolis including centers of culture, trade and recreation that are planned and developed in livable environments. That is the vision. To praise or to criticize: Ike Leggett has worked hard to steer the ship away from floundering and default. Will Mr. Duncan or Mr. Andrews bring alternative goals and priorities? The county needs to elect a fiscally responsible thinker and doer to manage growth and to bargain openly with lobbyists and promoter interests. The executive needs to replace debt with a balanced budget. Ask the candidates where theircampaignfundscomefrom. Ask them how they will deal with collective bargaining, with developer land use, and with very, very angry residents who must have an objective even-handed executive approach. It is most important that registered voters are informed and go to vote on Election Day.

The Aug. 28 article on the Purple Line [“A virtual ride”] misses a key point. The “virtual ride” begins at the proposed Bethesda station at 9 a.m. and describes a hypothetical morning commute to Takoma Park/ Langley Transit Center, arriving at 9:28 a.m. Better, and more likely, morning commutes will originate from the east in Takoma Park or elsewhere to Bethesda with the reverse in the afternoon. Projected ridership is overstated, “mature trees” lost from East Bethesda through Rock Creek are understated and the practical destruction of the hiking/walking/biking trail is obfuscated by planners. They and our politicians have too long been fixated on running an expensive county light rail transitway for two-plus decades while ignoring reasonable alternatives for east-west transport in lower Montgomery County.

unavoidable fee to comply with their regulations. Sometimes this is called a tax. Bill 41-12 Roadside Trees was sponsored by Councilman Roger Berliner. Trees in the right of way must be removed if they conflict with regulations regarding driveways and utilities. Prior to this bill, a property owner was required to obtain a permit from the state and replace any tree that was removed. The former process provided the county with the final approval of all tree removal permits and allowed the county to require additional tree protection. We had an efficient, economical process that resulted in no net loss of street trees. What do we have now? Now we have a duplicate process that requires you to plant three trees for every one removed. We have a requirement to submit a costly plan and pay two fees — even if a tree is not removed. We have a fee of $250 for every tree not planted to plant trees somewhere else. There are still many details to work out that could impact the additional costs to property owners. If you are interested in joining the discussion I encourage you to contact your council representative.

PANHANDLERS

times, a driver will say they are on their way to the grocery store across the street, and they’ll bring him something on the way back. In the winter, people will bring gloves, hats or an umbrella if it’s raining, he said. Earlier Monday morning in Wheaton, Montgomery County Executive Isiah Leggett (D), County Councilman George Leventhal and other officials announced an initiative to discourage drivers and other county residents from giving money to panhandlers such as Willis and instead direct their money toward county programs that work with the poor and homeless. “We want people to give. We don’t want people to give to panhandlers,” Leventhal said at a press conference. People who want to help panhandlers can text SHARE to the number 80077 to donate $5 to the Community Foundation of Montgomery County, which helps coordinate charitable giving in the county. Kim Ball, administrator of homeless services for the county’s Department of Health and Human Services, said her department goes out to try and interview panhandlers. Some agree and some refuse, and others just take the information the workers provide, Ball said. Panhandling is a complex, complicated issue, said Susan Sinclair-Smith, executive director of the Montgomery County Coalition for the Homeless, who spoke at the press conference. Montgomery County’s affluence, with a median household income listed by the U.S. Census Bureau of $95,660 from 2007-2011, adds to the problem. “I think the disparities between rich and poor are even more stark here,” Sinclair-Smith said. Most people feel compassion and a desire to help when they see someone struggling, she said. But giving the person cash isn’t really the best way to help them; a county service might be,

south of the Rockville Metro station along Md. 355 and along Veirs Mill Road — but the county has held off on saying what kind of transit lanes they want within the city. The mayor and council discussed the proposed transit plan at a Monday meeting. “I don’t know why they call it functional,” Mayor Phyllis Marcuccio said with a laugh. “I guess they think it is.” David Levy, chief of longrange planning, said the county is waiting on Rockville to say what kind of lane treatment it would like within the city, but the city does not have enough information from the county, including an analysis of the impact bus rapid transit would have on traffic, to make a recommendation. Ann Wallas, a city planner, said city staff are unsure whether the county’s system of estimating how many people will take bus rapid transit provides enough information for Rockville to make lane recommendations. “We have not found within this process to date sufficient analysis to allow us to take the next step,” Wallas said. Craig Simoneau, director of public works, said city staff can’t make a decision now, but wants to work with the county in the future so they can make a decision. The mayor and council unofficially agreed to send a letter to the County Council asking for more analysis and coordination between agencies going forward. They are expected to officially approve a revised letter in a future meeting. The County Council is scheduled to hold public hearings on the draft transit plan at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 24 and 26 in the County Council Office Building in Rockville.

Richard Willis, who is currently homeless, panhandles at the corner of Old Georgetown Road and Democracy Boulevard in Bethesda on Monday. officials said. “We know what works, so we just need to get people into the programs that work,” Sinclair-Smith said. The press conference was held at Veirs Mill Road and Georgia Avenue in Wheaton, the site of a May 16 crash that killed Mary Fish, 52, who had been known to panhandle in the area. A collision between two vehicles at the intersection pushed one of them onto the curb and into the median, where it hit Fish, according to Montgomery County police. Officials on Monday seemed

particularly concerned about panhandlers who enter into traffic to ask drivers for money or to accept a donation that’s offered. Any time someone is on the roadside or the median, it creates a dangerous situation because it impedes traffic, distracts drivers and causes them to make bad decisions, said Capt. Thomas Didone, director of the Montgomery County Police Department’s Traffic Division. Panhandling is generally not illegal in Montgomery County, unless the panhandler is aggres-

sive or walking in the roadway, he said. As someone who has stood in the roadway to direct traffic, Didone can attest to the danger of it. “People voluntarily doing this for money is insane,” he said. On Democracy Boulevard, Willis said there are rules that panhandlers need to follow. He said he’s careful to stay in the median strip and is careful never to touch cars or people or wander into the street. People who don’t follow those rules have no business

being out there, he said. He said he’s all for the county’s initiative to encourage people to give to organizations to help people who need it. Ball said giving money at intersections helps panhandlers address their immediate problems. But many have more longterm issues that need to be dealt with to truly help them, she said. “Giving them money is not going to help that situation,” she said. rmarshall@gazette.net

Blue October frontman and lyricist Justin Furstenfeld has spent most of his life in pain. Suffering with bipolar disorder and anxiety issues, Furstenfeld turned to self-medication through alcohol and drugs. In 2012, his pregnant wife threatened to leave him for good. Shortly afterward, his bandmates — including his brother Jeremy — went to his house ready to kick him out of the band. Enough was enough for Furstenfeld. After years of anger, frustration and pain, he decided it was time for

Bedlam’s ‘Saint’

FROM BEDLAM THEATRE

New York’s critically acclaimed Bedlam Theatre continues its rotating repertory of William Shakespeare’s “Hamlet” and George Bernard Shaw’s “Saint Joan” to Oct. 20 at the Olney Theatre Center. In “Saint Joan,” directed by Eric Tucker, Joan of Arc is portrayed not as a saint, a witch or a madwoman — but as a French farm girl who is anything but simple. Considered by many to be Shaw’s greatest play, it played a critical role in him receiving the 1925 Nobel Prize. For more information, including tickets and show times, visit www. olneytheatre.org.

The greatest show on earth n Latest at Round House explores immigrant culture BY

CARA HEDGEPETH STAFF WRITER

Bittersweet comedy “Agnes Under the Big Top” is now playing at Round House Theatre. The play opened Thursday to kick off the 10th season for socially-minded ensemble, and resident company, Forum Theatre. Agnes is also the pilot production for a new ticketing policy at Forum. “At least half of the seats available are for walk-up sales and pay what you want,” said Michael Dove, artistic director at Forum and director of “Agnes.” “I really want theater to move away from being this elite kind of experience for people with extra income ... if we’re truly going to tell stories about people in our community, it should be available to everyone in our community.” “Agnes” is the tale of the immigrant experience in America, told through six interconnected characters living in the city. Like the play’s setting, Dove said downtown Silver Spring boasts its own incredibly diverse population. The city’s demographic was just one of the reasons the director said he felt so passionate about bringing “Agnes” to Forum. “You’ll see that mix of cul-

ture coming together,” he said. “It felt like a really great starting point to have that conversation with those people around us.” “We’re right in downtown Silver Spring ...” said Forum ensemble member Nora Achrati. “You see everybody, Ethiopians, Dominicans, Senagalese ...” Achrati, who grew up in Silver Spring, plays Roza, a Bulgarian woman who’s been in the States for almost 10 years. Roza doesn’t speak much throughout the course of the play and when she does, it’s mostly in Bulgarian. “She and her husband came to the States ... and their relationship is quickly deteriorating,” Achrati said. “She’s a really funny woman. She’s very smart, she understands English ... but she won’t let on that she does. She’s an enigmatic character who absorbs things but isn’t giv-

ing much back.” Roza and her husband Shipkov are just two of several characters floating in and out of the life of the play’s only American character, Ella, an older bedridden woman. “Things happen to the Liberian and the Bulgarian that affect in small ways, the bedridden woman,” Achrati said. “You have these lower-class immigrant struggles that people don’t really see ... that are totally invisible except in the way they affect people with privilege.” There were other things about “Agnes,” which premiered in 2011 in Minneapolis, that ap-

pealed to Dove. After reading a draft of the show a few years before it was produced, Dove just couldn’t shake it. “It kind of stuck in the back of my head as something we would want to do,” Dove said. “It’s the one I just haven’t been able to get out of my head.” The director said it was playwright Aditi Brennan Kapil’s style that drew him in. “It was a play that struck me immediately with just some amazing language,” Dove said. “As a director you’re reading a lot of plays. You see one writer influenced by another writer and this one just had its own sound.”

Though “Agnes” focuses largely on the immigrant experience, Dove said audiences of varying backgrounds will relate to the show’s characters and some of their struggles. “You can certainly talk about it being about immigrant culture ... but I think that can also translate to anyone who is put into a situation that is different,” Dove said. “Relocating to a different school, to a different country. What I sort of loved about this is while it can be heavy, it really gets down to the idea of how do we interact with one another.” chedgepeth@gazette.net

AT THE MOVIES

The next chapter for ‘Riddick’: And then there was Vin BY

MICHAEL PHILLIPS

CHICAGO TRIBUNE

From the dusty annals of a science-fiction franchise belonging to another age, that of “Pitch Black” (2000) and “The Chronicles of Riddick” (2004) and several video game variations, here’s a modestly scaled summer picture continuing the legend that time and many moviegoers forgot. And it’s fun! Extremely violent, cleverly managed fun, full of eviscerating aliens, Vin Diesel making those little swimmer goggles look sharp and Katee Sackhoff of “Battlestar Galactica” swaggering around as a sexually ambiguous bounty hunter stuck with a bunch of guys on a crummy planet, ruled (more or less) by the escaped prisoner Riddick, whose story is recapped in “Riddick” but there’s not much to it, don’t worry. This is not one of those Johnny-come-lately sequels preoccupied with getting a new audience up to speed on where the story was. It’s about living in the moment, in the now, and killing in the now. The character name Riddick has a twee, sprightly air, two adjectives which do not bring Vin Diesel to mind. But he’s the one taking care of his adversaries in a plot line recalling Agatha Christie’s “And Then There Were None,” except here it’s: “And Then There Was Vin.” And here’s the beauty part, to the extent writer-director David Twohy’s simple, compact movie can be called beautiful: The bounty hunters are all individuals, and you actually care about some of them, so it’s not simply a “Saw”-type grinder of a movie, wherein we wonder how the next side of beef is going to get sliced. I mean, we do wonder that, but there are other things going on. “Riddick” opens with a near-wordless sequence set on a hot, scrubby planet, where our antihero, betrayed by the Necromongers — there, that’s it: done with the plot summary — is left for dead among the winged beasts and slithering giant scorpion- and fanged squid-like denizens of the swamps. The opening half-hour of Twohy’s picture is a grabber, a chronicle of Riddick dealing with the swamp things and his domestication of a dingo-type alien jackal

dog. The occasional voice-over (“Whole damn planet wanted a piece of me”) reminds us that Riddick can, in fact, speak if needed. Then come the bounty hunters, some old, some new, and “Riddick” turns into a different picture, one that scrambles your sympathies nicely as Riddick squares off against the meanest of them while everyone contends with ace creature designer Patrick Tatopoulos’ alien animal kingdom. The movie is worth seeing simply for the aceof-spades-shaped ears on the hero’s pet dingo. The first half’s more compelling than the second; the

treal.) More persuasively than the recent “After Earth” and “Oblivion,” “Riddick” makes an entertaining survival-guide virtue of its main character’s

isolation. The side characters all get their share of profane zingers. The audience came away sated. In the 13 years since the first Riddick chronicle, Diesel

has discovered what it means to be a certain kind of movie star, working hard but not too, serving material that, here, does what it’s supposed to do.

It’s Sofia’s choice in Ethan Hawke’s fast and furious knockoff ‘Getaway’ BY

MICHAEL PHILLIPS

CHICAGO TRIBUNE

“Getaway” will never be mistaken for a “Fast & Furious” sequel. It’s more like “Taken … for a Ride!” Terrible but, in its squealing way, sporadically fun-terrible, it features a glowering Ethan Hawke as a former professional race car driver named Brent Magna … or Brock Magma … or Frack Slaterock … or something like that. Let’s call him Magma. Magma and his wife (Rebecca Budig, seen mostly in black-and-white, those-were-

the-days flashbacks) live in Sofia, Bulgaria, allowing the producers to film in a city willing to let visitors mess up traffic for a spell. Mrs. Magma is abducted on Christmas and held in a warehouse, so that a criminal mastermind listed in the film’s credits as The Voice (Jon Voight, more or less German this time) can blackmail Hawke’s character into “a series of tasks” behind the wheel of a custom Ford Shelby GT500 Super Snake. These include a high-speed assault on a crowded ice rink and several rounds of police pursuits and evasions. Selena

Gomez takes the passenger seat. In one of the weirdest character introductions in the history of any medium, her character, the leastmadcap heiress around, known only as The Kid, attempts to steal back the car belonging to her. So. You have Magma, The Voice and The Kid. This movie is The Dumb. As steered with more enthusiasm than skill by “An American Haunting” director Courtney Solomon, the takeaway on “Getaway” goes this-a-way: Is there anything a filmmaker can’t do in Sofia, Bulgaria? With Los Angeles and environs suffering millions in lost revenue thanks to runaway film production, “Getaway” serves handily as Exhibit A. Certain shots and the most head-banging stunts on view suggest that you can happily murder all sorts of extras if you film there. The action in

(From left) Selena Gomez as The Kid and Ethan Hawke as Brent Magna in Warner Bros. Pictures and Dark Castle Entertainment’s action thriller “Getaway.” “Getaway” is hacked up into messily edited bits, run through what are supposed to be a dozen different surveillance cameras recording the action inside and outside the death car. With Voight’s voice on the car’s GPS saying things like “Smash everything you can,” the movie makes its intentions clear. Hawke’s character spends most of the film not knowing why The Voice is making him do the things he does. Magma and The Kid trade cross-generational barbs (“Stop almost killing us!” she whines at one point) and develop a grudging mutual respect, although if you look up the word “chemistry” in the dictionary, you won’t find a picture of these two actors together. The repeated close-ups of Hawke’s foot slamming the clutch are more expressive. The movie requires little acting; it requires screeching — of tires. I will say this: It’s perversely satisfying to see the Bulgarian

capital roughed up by a movie crew in this way, even by second-raters. And near the end there’s an extended shot, taken with a car-mounted camera, reminding audiences of the gut-level pleasures of high velocity. The rest of “Getaway,” which many in the audience seemed to genuinely hate based on comments on the way out, is so mechanical and derivative, not even the abducted-spouse routine can stoke the audience’s rooting interests. Still, I confess: After the screening, I drove my Honda Fit home like a maniac.

AFI

Continued from Page A-13 Accompanying the movie on Sunday afternoon will be an eight-minute Warner Bros. cartoon, “Cracked Ice,” featuring a pig who sounds like W.C. Fields scheming to get into the cask of booze carried by a Saint Bernard who rescues people. Also showing will be a 1938 newsreel, with footage of that year’s huge East Coast hurricane, the Japanese incursion into China and the Nazi takeover of Austria. Tickets to the first-come, first-served screening will be available when the box office opens late Sunday morning, Barry said. “Four Daughters” is part of a six-day run featuring four other 1938 movies running several times each day from Friday through Wednesday. For $5 a ticket, movie lovers can sit back and watch the dashing Errol Flynn in “The Adventures of Robin Hood,” as well as a goofy Cary Grant with Katharine Hepburn and a roving leopard in “Bringing Up Baby.” Other films include Michael Redgrave and Margaret Lockwood looking for a lost woman on a train in Alfred Hitchcock’s “The Lady Vanishes” as well as Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire sharing their first screen kiss in “Carefree” featuring Ralph Bellamy. AFI is inviting moviegoers to email their memories of the theater through today for an ongoing celebration this year of the 75th anniversary.

Continued from Page A-13 help. He checked into a rehab facility in Nashville. “I’m actually very well [now],” Furstenfeld said. “I would have to say that I’m very grateful and I’m very blessed to be where I’m at today. I’m still pretty shocked and in awe of how well I am doing.” Healthy and, for the first time in a long time, happy, Furstenfeld and Blue October are on tour promoting their new album, “Sway.” They will be making a stop at 7:30 p.m. on Friday at the Fillmore Silver Spring. Whereas previous albums were used to lash out at others, “Sway,” takes the band into new territory. “’Sway’ is a lot different,” Furstenfeld said. “After putting ‘Any Man in America’ out, there was really nowhere to go but up. I’ve always known myself to just be brutally honest no matter what I was going through. For some reason in the past, there was always some sort of huge turmoil going on. All of our past records reflected that. … The No. 1 rule of this new album — and I wanted to challenge myself — there can’t be one song about how hard Justin’s got it. There can’t be one song about how hard life is and there can’t be one song that just centers around me-me-me-me-me.” “Any Man in America,” which was released when Furstenfeld was going through a bitter divorce with his first wife and custody battle over his daughter, Blue, was heavy with name calling, finger-pointing and accusations. While Furstenfeld feels the album needed to be made for the sake of his daughter, as he has called the record a push for parental rights, he realizes he’s in a much better place now. “It’s hard to explain the transition, but I’d rather enjoy my life and take it very honestly, simply and humbly,” Furstenfeld said. “In the past, when my ego and depression took over [it was different]. Now, I’m in a really good place. “‘Sway’ was a lot harder to make, to be honest with you, because it’s easy to write about sadness. It’s really easy to write about how bad you’ve got it. When it comes to happiness, peacefulness and when it comes to serenity … there’s a fine line between bubble-gum cheesy and honest and sincere. There was a lot of editing that went on and a lot of thinking. And work, work … if I can say one word, it was work!” As with most new releases, artists have to tour to promote their work. Blue October is no exception. The band is currently on a massive tour that will cover the United States and parts of Germany, Russia and the United Kingdom.

ping Center, one of the first centers to provide off-street parking in a lot. “At the time Silver Spring barely qualified as a suburb,” said Barry about the almost rural surroundings of the time. Designed by Romanianborn architect John Eberson, the Art Moderne (a late form of Art Deco style) building was intended to evoke thoughts of an ocean liner, with a tall silver smokestack on the roof above the entrance and other nautical touches. Inside were murals of tropical birds, wave-like patterns on the walls and wall sconces with “porthole” lights intended to make patrons feel as they had boarded a ship bound for exotic locales. Using old photos, restorers were also able to reconstruct the lobby to look almost exactly like it did in the 1930s. “They identified the original carpeting pattern,” said Barry. “It’s pretty authentic.” The busy regional shopping center thrived during the 1950s, but in 1960, a new center opened in Wheaton and began to draw business away. The owners closed the

The AFI Silver Theatre in Silver Spring is celebrating its 75th anniversary with a free, one-time showing on Sunday of “Four Daughters,” the movie that opened the new Art Moderne theater in 1938.

The Oscar-nominated film also featured John Garfield in his debut role. building in 1985 and planned to knock it down in the 1990s, when movie-lovers, preservationists and county officials mobilized to save it. “The key was finding the right operator,” said Jim Mooney, who at the time was working with County Executive

Douglas Duncan to revitalize downtown Silver Spring. At the same time, the American Film Institute, which had been screening films at the Kennedy Center, happened to be thinking about moving to the suburbs. AFI’s Jean Firstenberg, CEO and president of the group

at the time, paid a visit. “As soon as she saw it, she appreciated the potential,” said Mooney. With AFI at the helm, the theater reopened in 2003, now with three screens, as the AFI Silver Theatre and Cultural Center, offering a year-round program

of movies, videos, talks and festivals. “It’s been 75 years — it seemed noteworthy,” said Barry about marking the first showing of “Four Daughters” with a second. vterhune@gazette.net

cially someone who is a recovering addict. Furstenfeld, however, said he’s excited about the tour. “If you were to have asked me about a year ago, I would have said I was nervous,” Furstenfeld said. “I finished a book and did a solo spoken-word tour earlier this year to kind of get my feet wet and back into touring in a different space. In the past, I would just drain all this darkness on stage and drama. So I wanted to see if I could still do it with just as much impact and just as much passion if I was talking about enjoying life. I’m really excited. Plus my wife goes with me on tour and my daughters. I’m just blessed to be able to do what I do for a living.” One of the tracks on the new album, “Bleed Out,” is a powerful song that focuses in on the pain a man has caused for a woman. While writing songs such as “Bleed Out,” is cathartic for Furstenfeld, he said the memories of the past still haunt him. “That one was written in the eyes of my wife,” Furstenfeld said. “Just the hell I put her through. She needed that. I needed to honor her by telling the whole truth, not just ‘Oh, look at me! I’m clean and sober! Pat me on the back!’ No, that’s not something you pat someone on the back for. It should have been done a long time ago. I should have manned up a long time ago. ‘Bleed Out,’ is my song to her. Every time I hear it now, it’s just sadness when I listen to it — but it’s this rebirth. It’s almost like I’m proud of myself for putting that together because it needed to be done. The memories that come along with it are hard to think about, but the fact that I’m owning it and celebrating the new-found freedom that we have together is quite powerful.” Furstenfeld said he hopes fans take to heart the messages in “Sway.” “The light at the end of the tunnel is now,” Furstenfeld said. “We can sit around and dwell on our problems all day long, but I’ve found — just personally, me — I’ve found that it just doesn’t get me anywhere. After awhile, people don’t want to see you doing that. People don’t want to watch someone circling the drain over and over again for years. They get sick of it. … You’ve got to live up every single moment you’ve got. Life’s short.” wfranklin@gazette.net

LAUGHS

Continued from Page A-13 and Hell in Adams Morgan on Friday night. The tour has enjoyed a 19-city run and showcases aspiring comedians in states across the country. This weekend, D.C.’s best kept secrets are Martin Montana, Gordon Baker-Bone and New York comedian and producer Dan Frigolette. “These are the funniest guys you haven’t heard of yet,” Frigolette said. “The idea is to get some exposure for these guys who haven’t popped yet.” Just last year, Amini was one of those guys. Born and raised in Silver Spring, Amini attended John F. Kennedy High School and graduated from Walter Johnson High School in Bethesda. After graduation, he earned a degree in entrepreneurship from the business school at the University of Maryland. Amini moved out to San Francisco after college with the intention of going to law school. But it wasn’t long after taking his LSATs that Amini said he realized it wasn’t the career he wanted and decided to move to Los Angeles. “I moved out to L.A. to pursue something,” Amini said. “I wasn’t sure what ...” During his first year in L.A., Amini lived with his cousin, comedian Max Amini. It was Max who initially suggested Amini check out the entertainment industry. “He asked me, ‘What do you plan on doing?’” remembered Amini. When Amini told his cousin he was thinking of using his background in busi-

ness to open a hookah lounge, Max told him: “But then you’ll just be a hookah lounge owner.” “[He said], ‘L.A. is the entertainment capital of the world. You could do anything,’” Amini said. “And that’s when he planted the seed.” Amini soon started promoting his cousin’s shows and eventually landed an internship with Ben Stiller’s Red Hour Productions. After earning some experience through jobs with other local production companies, Amini bought a camera and headed out on the road with his cousin, filming his comedy acts. It was his first real exposure to the world of stand-up comedy. “[Max] caters to a Middle Eastern audience and I remember watching him sell out shows ... and saying, ‘I wish I could come back to my community and do that,’” Amini said. Last summer, Amini moved back to Montgomery County to do just that. He started doing stand-up with District Comedy, a booking production company started by local comics Ralph

Cooper and Brad Ryan. “I started off just talking about myself,” Amini said. “What works for most comics is they talk about their own experiences. I started immediately just making fun of myself ... and it worked.” It worked so well, in fact, that Amini admits the early success went to his head. “I thought, ‘Aww, man, I’m a natural,’” he said. “I was a little cocky ... the second time wasn’t nearly as funny as the first and the third and fourth sucked, too.” But after a few humbling experiences in the beginning, Amini seems to have found his footing. He now runs the Martin Amini & Friends Comedy Show at Heaven and Hell every Friday night. His open mics and showcases at Brass Monkey, also in Adams Morgan, earned Amini mention in DCist’s Best Comedy Clubs in D.C. Amini has also started his own production company, Silver City Productions, named for his hometown. He earns a living shooting commercials and promotional material for D.C. clubs. With Amini’s experience in L.A., and Frigolette’s in New York, the producers’ expectations for the Best Kept Secret Tour are understandably high. But both say they haven’t been disappointed in the D.C. comedy scene. “There are a lot of guys doing a lot of great comedy in D.C.,” Frigolette said. “Being in L.A. ... I was spoiled a bit,” Amini said. “But coming back to D.C., the talent level of D.C. comics is through the roof.” chedgepeth@gazette.net

It seems like a pretty easy concept. If a tennis player can consistently weather nerves to win U.S. Tennis Association tournament matches and is ranked on a national level, he or she should have no problem cruising through a high school season, right? Not necessarily. “Whenever [the boys] first come back [to high school tennis in the spring] they always say it’s hard for them to make the switch,” Thomas S. Wootton High School boys’ and girls’ tennis coach Nia Cresham said. “It’s hard to make the transition. Team tennis is a lot more pressure on them than USTA.”

The USTA junior tournament circuit can be a lonely and cut-throat place, said Richard Montgomery senior No. 1 singles player Thea Postolache, who is the defending all-county Region II champion. Players are out for themselves as they attempt to raise their rankings and compete for the few scholarships available to tennis players. Despite the internal pressure that might cause, the only person affected by a USTA tournament loss is the individual. Playing with a school name displayed across the front of a jersey is a completely different story, Postolache said. Success at the national level and on the tournament circuit doesn’t always translate the way

Bowling’s intent in showing his team the photo wasn’t just to have them take a glimpse of one of the world’s more effervescent players, but to create a connection with a task his club carried out one day prior.

County’s top athletes say there’s different pressure when representing high school team BY JENNIFER BEEKMAN STAFF WRITER

Our Lady of Good Counsel High School girls’ soccer player Courtney Parr (right) is one of the Falcons’ top defenders this fall.

If one didn’t know any better, Austen Herbert looked clueless. As a sophomore on the Seneca Valley High School football team and playing Damascus, Herbert intercepted a pass and returned it 44 yards for a touchdown. “He just kind of looked like he was lost out there, like, ‘Oh, my God. There’s a football in my hand,’” Seneca Valley coach Fred Kim said. “It was almost like he waddled in the end zone. It’s like he was so surprised to be in that position.” Herbert’s composure didn’t improve once he reached the end zone. “I probably looked like a child getting ice cream,” Herbert said. “... I don’t think it hit me until I was on the sideline.” That was another mistake. Herbert ran to the sideline immediately after his score, but he was on the extra-point team, so he had to return to the field. The way Kim tells it, that might have been the last time Herbert has been confused during a game.

Members of Gaithersburg High School’s boys’ soccer team move the goal to a new position during Friday’s practice at Morris Park in Gaithersburg.

Marcellus Powell had seen the play before. Powell, a senior outside linebacker at BethesdaChevy Chase High School, dropped into coverage on Friday as Winston Churchill quarterback Sean Strittmatter received the shotgun snap and turned to his left with just under seven minutes to play in the fourth quarter. The play was a designed quick out pass to the wing back, a play which the Bulldogs had run twice before — a first quarter incompletion due to a deflection by Powell and a 6-yard first down conversion two plays earlier. This time, Powell broke towards the ball just as Strittmatter planted to throw and intercepted it cleanly with no one between him and the goal line. He outraced Strittmatter to the corner of the end zone and gave the Barons the final blow in a 25-15 season-opening victory.

Ranked No. 70 of 1,521 in the USTA Girls 14s, Wootton freshman Miranda Deng certainly appears poised for a successful high school campaign, but questions stillremainonhowshewillhandle

the pressure of team expectations. “Playing for a team is very different,” Postolache said. “You’re playing for yourself, but you also know that your score counts for the school’s score and that is added pressure.” While that weight and expectations can be paralyzing for some, the load doesn’t have to be a bad thing, Postolache said. In fact, she used it as motivation in last year’s first run to the state tournament by a Richard Mont-

gomery singles player in recent history. Knowing every point a match win earns can be the difference between a team win or loss, and being surrounded by supportive teammates pushes her more, Postolache said. There is also generally a wider range of talent level that athletes must adjust to on a daily basis, which can be tricky. It is a scenario not limited to tennis players, but athletes in individual and team sports across

the board. “Maybe for their club [soccer] team they’re playing a certain position, but for me they’re playing a different position or formation and now they have to switch their brain,” longtime Our Lady of Good Counsel girls’ soccer coach Jim Bruno said. “Or you might be a big fish on your club team, but not be a big fish on your high school team. There are some other mental things going on.”

Levels also vary within the average high school athletic teams, higher level athletes might have to adjust their games accordingly in order to play more efficiently with their team, Bruno added. Performing for classmates and friends is not an opportunity elite-level athletes are faced with very often outside of high school athletics, Bruno said. The pressure to live up to expectations can put extra weight on

these athletes’ shoulders and everyone handles the load differently. But no one can deny the honor of representing a home school and community in athletic competition, Bruno said. “Yes, you get more nervous,it is more nerve-wracking because you know what you do also affects your team,” Postolache said. “But for me, that added pressure is helpful.” jbeekman@gazette.net

DEFENSE

Continued from Page B-1 “They had thrown it twice before, so when I dropped back I was like, ‘I’m going to get it this time,’” Powell said. “I got it and started running, and I just barely made it, I was just thinking, ‘Thank God I didn’t cramp up.’” The B-CC defensive unit shut out the Churchill offense over the final three quarters of the contest. A nineplay, 62-yard scoring drive in the first quarter was the only real blemish for the group, which forced the Bulldogs into four turnovers and seven punts. “We went to the locker room [at halftime] and we had that mindset that we were going to come out and get this win,” safety Keenan McUmber said. “We were tired and they were tired, but we have been working hard all summer running hills and all this stuff for conditioning, so we were ready for it.” Barons’ defensive coordinator Chad Mack also provided his insight on the Churchill offense after moving over from the Bulldogs’ staff this year. “We had a whole film study thing yesterday, with the day off for the Jewish holiday, a lot of us just watched film all day,” Powell said. “We’ve been going over their plays, I made flashcards of their different formations, so it was great to have Coach Mack’s help on that.” Mack’s defense will certainly be tested on Thursday (6:30 p.m.) when B-CC hosts a Thomas S. Wootton team that scored 41 points against Walter Johnson on Saturday.

If we can come together and adapt this philosophy of 11 playing as one, we can do great things at Gaithersburg.” Bowling would appear the perfect man for the job.

Washington, D.C. for two years, he moved to Gaithersburg and started working for the city as a city planner in 2011. With a demanding work schedule, Bowling often arrives at the office early in the morning to ensure he’s able to start training on time. He walks from his office to the school and said he’s received a tremendous outpouring of support from his coworkers and supervisors at City Hall. “I’m very blessed to be in this situation and there’s nowhere else I’d want to be coaching,” Bowling said. “I love coaching at this school because it’s the city I live in and work in. This is a school of 2,000 students and a city of 60,000 residents and I believe we can do great things with the group that we have.” The Trojans are a young and diverse team, sprinkled with a mix of veterans who will lead

a club that Bowling hopes will play a possession-based style similar to his favorite Spanish sides. Gaithersburg finished 5-8-0 last season under Steve Schwarten and lost in the first round of the Maryland Public Secondary Schools Athletic Association’s playoffs in penalty kicks. In the previous four years since the club’s last winning season in 2008, Gaithersburg has gone a combined 15-30-4. “He’s definitely putting in time even though he works a lot and he really believes we can do special things,” junior striker Gustavo Garcia said of Bowling. “I think we all want to surprise people and I feel like some people have no clue that there’s talent in Gaithersburg. The first thing he noticed is we have talent.” Whether or not the Trojans will be able to utilize that tal-

ent and translate it into results remains to be seen, but junior left back Parker Rist also is optimistic about the transformation of the attitude of his teammates since Bowling’s taken over. “We have lots of talent and lots of potential and having him in here to be very positive and motivational can bring out our full potential,” Rist said. While potential is one thing, the reality of having to play 10 consecutive road matches — and then play host to the defending state champions for the only home game — is daunting. “It’s going to be tough not being at home, not having that home feeling,” said junior goalkeeper Cristian Reyes. “We’ve talked through it a lot as a group and we pretty much said that if we have a field and we have a ball, we’re ready to

play. It doesn’t matter where we’re at.” Added Rist: “It’s not what we would prefer, but it’s also not going to be too different. We’re constantly somewhere else, moving and changing. We’re going to keep fighting through no matter what.” It’s that sort of positive mentality that Bowling’s infectious personality has seemingly imparted on all his players as the 2013 campaign gets underway. And it’s one he hopes will, along with hard work on the field, contribute to a successful tenure at his neighborhood high school. “I don’t want people to take us lightly,” Bowling said. “They’ll see that we’re a sleeping giant waiting to wake up from this nap. Once we get rolling, I think it’s going to be something else.”

game, Herbert practiced defending a play Damascus tended to run from a Bulldog formation, two receivers to the strong side and one on the weak side with a tight end on the field. The slot receiver would run a curl route into Herbert’s zone, and Herbert could jump the route. The first day of practice, Herbert got in proper position but kept dropping the interception. By the end of the week, he intercepted it every time — even

when he didn’t know in advance the play was coming. Damascus lined up in Bulldog for the first time late in the game, and Herbert recognized it immediately, jumped the curl route, scored his first varsity touchdown and showed how far he had come in a short period of time. Herbert said he was “a small presence on the field” during his freshman year on junior varsity. As program policy, Kim puts anyone he believes will be a key

varsity contributor as a junior on varsity as a sophomore. Really, that’s the only reason Herbert made varsity so soon. Herbert figured, if he played as hard as he could, he could at least ensure he wouldn’t be buried on the bench. But during preseason practice, he earned a starting job at outside linebacker. Kim even had Herbert set the defense, a responsibility typically assigned to a middle linebacker. Herbert did it

so well, his position didn’t matter. “I could tell him what the gameplan was on Monday after working on it for nine hours on Sunday, and he would learn it snap of the finger, and he would know it,” Kim said. As a junior Herbert became a captain, an honor Kim said goes to seniors “99.9 percent” of the time in his program. Now, Herbert is still setting the defense, and he’s fielding interest from Cornell, Towson, Le-

Northwest’s Gills a threat all over n

Senior aiming for first scholarship offer BY DAN FELDMAN STAFF WRITER

Joshua Gills spent three quarters not being a star. One of his Northwest High School football teammates spent four years in a lesser role, and Gills admired him all the more for it. In the fourth quarter of his first varsity game and first game ever at receiver, Gills, as a sophomore,caughttwotouchdowns and scored a two-point conversion — “The Josh Gills Show,” Northwest offensive coordinator Justin Sickeri called it. Gills went on to set the program’s single-season record for receptions (55). Along the way, Gills, now a senior, befriended an older player who rarely played. “He was my favorite player on the team because he was

persistent,” Gills said. “Even though he never played, he was always ... everywhere the team went.” Gills noticed the team’s upperclassmen often ignored the player, so Gills made even more of a point to talk to him. “Some guys don’t do what I do,” Gills said, “And they’re just sort of left out, coming to practices, not talking to anyone, not participating. I like to get everyone involved.” Few do what Gill does. He’ll play quarterback for about two-thirds of Northwest’s snaps this season and running back and receiver for the other third. Defensively, he’ll line up at cornerback a third of the time — plus on any key plays. Which is his best position? “Um, that’s a good question. That’s a really good question. Um, he seems to gravitate toward the offense,” Northwest coach Mike Neubeiser said, breaking into a laugh. “I think, I don’t [know] if I can answer that

question.” Sickeri handles the question similarly. “Well, I don’t know if he has a best position,” Sickeri said. “... He’s good everywhere. Asked the same question, Gills punts, too. (By the way, he also does that. He’s the backup punter and obviously a threat on fakes). “You’d have to tell me that,” Gills said. “I like playing everywhere.” Prior to high school, he played offensive guard, tight end and defensive end. As he got more athletic, he figured he’d play running back and receiver in high school, which he did for the practice of a twosession day. By the afternoon practice, he was a quarterback and on a fast track to starting at his new position on the junior varsity team. When he reached varsity as a sophomore, Gills moved to receiver and running back next

to quarterback Matty Callahan. With Callahan graduated, Gills is again using his impressive burst mostly behind center, but he’s also working at running back and receiver. With a 28-yard catch in Northwest’s61-0opening-week win over Magruder, Gills is just 110 yards shy of the program record for career receiving yards. Gills hasn’t stopped watching out for players who don’t possess as much talent, though that has taken a different tone now. Despite receiving interest from Monmouth, Bucknell, Towson, Morgan State and New Hampshire, Gills doesn’t have a scholarship offer. So, he’s especially motivated for a few matchups this fall. “Whenever I see someone at my talent or below it, I feel the need to show my superiority,” Gills said. “Especially if they’re getting attention that I’m not from colleges.”

Whitman running back accounts for over 200 allpurpose yards; B-CC shocks Churchill FOOTBALL NOTEBOOK BY DAN FELDMAN Before his team’s season opener against Sherwood High School on Saturday night, Gaithersburg senior running back Solomon Vault didn’t feel right. Queasy and nervous, Vault vomited in the locker room at Richard Montgomery High — playing host to the Trojans while their home field undergoes renovations — and later threw up fluids before joining his team on the sideline. While most coaches would view their star player expelling his dinner minutes prior to kickoff with a concerned eye, Gaithersburg coach Kreg Kephart was — perhaps — relieved? “I felt good because I saw him throwing up,” Kephart said. “Usually, when he throws up he has a good game, so I thought to myself, ‘It’s going to be a good night out there.’” Kephart’s intuition was spot on as Vault rushed for 155 yards and four touchdowns and Gaithersburg dominated Sherwood, 32-7, to earn its first win against the Warriors since 2011 and spoil Chris Grier’s coaching debut. “The pregame jitters kind of got me and I was throwing up a little bit,” Vault said. “But we came out and we handled business, so I’m proud of my guys.” Morton stars: To rush for 100 yards in one game is impressive. To rush for 100 yards and tally another 100 yards receiving is pretty remarkable.Toachievebothwhile an entire opposing defense’s priority is to shut you down is a rarity in high school football.

Whitman High School senior Zac Morton did Friday in leading the Vikings to a 28-0 season-opening win at James H. Blake. Morton rushed for 106 yards and a touchdown and caught seven passes for 100 yards and a touchdown to account for 50 percent of the Vikings’ scoring. Whitman coach Jim Kuhn said Friday’s win, and an overall strong team performance, was just what the Vikings needed as they look to move forward in 2013 from two mediocre seasons, including opening last season with back-toback losses. “That was a fabulous start,” Kuhn said. “The kids played a great game.” Fast start: Just 2 minutes, 45 seconds into Damascus’ opening game, junior standout Jalen Christian returned a punt 76 yards for a touchdown. A Jake Funk touchdown run, a Chase Williams touchdown pass to Stephon Jacob, another Funk touchdown run and a Kevin Proctor touchdown run later, Damascus led 35-0 on its way to a 49-22 win over Einstein on Friday “We had a bad taste in our mouths from losing in the first round of the playoffs last season,” Damascus coach Eric Wallich said. “We were preaching to them, ‘Don’t be complacent. Just because the Damascus teams of the past have been successful, this team hasn’t done anything yet. “If you want something you have to work hard for it.’ Tonight was a step in that direction. A lot of things seemed to click tonight.” Opening statement: The Bethesda-Chevy Chase football team made a statement on Friday with a season-opening 25-15 victory over Winston Churchill, the defending Montgomery County 4A South Division champions. The Barons’ defense shut out the Bulldogs in the second half, as the opportunistic unit came up with four interceptions over the final two quarters. Jordan Miller

recorded a pair of interceptions in the contest and Marcellus Powell’s 47-yard interception return for a touchdown with just under seven minutes to play sealed the deal for B-CC. The Barons, who defeated the Bulldogs for the first time since 2009, will look to carry the momentum from this victory into their next contest against Wootton on Thursday. “You look at the [paper] and nobody picked us to win this, which we are kind of used to by now,” Powell said. “This sets the tone for the season that we are a good team, and we can beat a team that we normally haven’t beat. I think it sends the message that we are not that doormat team anymore. ... You’ve got to fear us now.” Extra home games: Wheaton planned to play Thursday’s game against Col. Zadok Magruder and its Sept. 28 contest against Rockville at Montgomery Blair, but construction to Wheaton has been delayed, so both games will be played at Wheaton. Kyle Russell, Nick Cammarota, John Harris III and Jennifer Beekman contributed.

Rockville hopes to be like G. Counsel Sherwood volleyball BY NICK CAMMAROTA When Julio Zarate decided to take over the boys’ soccer program at Rockville High, he knew his assignment was difficult. He knew the club didn’t win a game in 2012 and, far worse, didn’t score a goal. But as bad as those statistics are, the former Our Lady of Good Counsel coach wasn’t aware of just how much work needed to be done laying a foundation for the program until he began work in March. “It’s been a bit bumpy,” Zarate said. “When we took over this team, we knew what we were getting into, but not really. We started working with them to see what was the problem. We’ve been working on academics and we’ve been going every week to talk to the kids, trying to recruit, to make them be more interested and come back to play soccer.” Zarate said there were roughly 40 to 50 players at tryouts for the team this preseason, including junior goal-

They were excited about it not so much because they were playing DeMatha but because they were going to have an opportunity to show their quality,” said Wootton coach Doug Schuessler of the first meeting between the two teams. “They were disappointed in the result, but that’s because we’re not out here to lose. We’re out here to compete and win.” Perhaps Wootton’s best chance of the game came in the waning minutes of the second half. Forward Jared Nozick sprinted down the far sideline with space in front of him, but suddenly fell to the turf with a

severe leg cramp and lost the ball out of bounds. Following the match, Schuessler spoke about his team’s mentality as defending state champs and channeled his inner-Rick Pitino. “I don’t think that anyone is kidding themselves. Matt Hoy is not walking out on that field. Sam Summerlin is not walking out on that field. But you know what? A bunch of other guys are,” he said. “I think there’s a belief that anything’s possible and there’s a real determination to reach for it and try to grab that ring again.” ncammarota@gazette.net

Walter Johnson completes comeback Wildcats rally from 2-0 halftime deficit to defeat Fallston in season opener n

GIRLS SOCCER NOTEBOOK BY JENNIFER BEEKMAN What started off Friday evening as an indicator of just how far the Walter Johnson High School girls’ soccer team would have to come if it intended to be a 2013 postseason contender turned into a

glimpse of the Wildcats’ promising potential. Down 2-0 at halftime during its 3-2 season-opening win against Harford County’s Fallston High, Walter Johnson coach Liz Friedman said she half expected her young team, which lost an incredibly talented group of seniors a year ago, to throw in the towel. Instead, the Wildcats scored three second-half goals to clinch the victory. One of the most exciting aspects of the win, Friedman said, was that the three scores came from a pair of freshmen forwards.

it’s nice to know the freshmen can be upon.” The Academy of the Holy Cross followed up its 5-0 season-opening win against Montgomery Blair — on the Blazers’ schedule as its final scrimmage — with a 2-1, come-from-behind win over Stone Ridge School of the Sacred Heart. Dani White scored both Tartans goals, the game winner off a cross from Marissa Madaras in the final five minutes of regulation. jbeekman@gazette.net

Field hockey While the Sherwood volleyball team was taking home an early-season tournament title in Magruder’s gym, the field hockey team busied itself by defending a similar title on the field for the second consecutive year in Paint Branch’s annual tournament. The two-headed monster of a scoring duo in Emily Kenul and Gabrielle Yore didn’t miss a beat from last year. Kenul scored four goals in a 7-3 win over Long Reach in the opening round and Yore added a pair in thechampionshipgameagainst Reservoir, which the Warriors won 3-0. “It’s definitely nice to start the season with a couple of wins,” Sherwood coach Amy Morse said. “I felt confident that we would be scoring goals but we had been moving a couple things around so I wasn’t quite sure what that would look like but it seems to have worked out pretty well.” Holy Cross’ Nicole Lantuh scored a hat-trick in a 6-1 win over Holton-Arms, the first victory under first-year head coach Lindsey Weller. Montgomery Blair’s Allison Chen added one of her own in a 5-1 season-opening win against Northwood. In her first varsity start, Our Lady of Good Counsel goalie Caroline Campbell shut out Stone Ridge in what became a 1-0 overtime victory, the lone goal coming off the stick of Mallory Fox. In another 1-0 contest, Winston Churchill’s Clare Nolan scored the only goal of the game to top Quince Orchard, which has already lost three games by one-goal margins. 1906764

Cammie Mutha scored the first and go-ahead goals; Anya Bitchek netted the game-tying goal. Junior forward Caroline Braviak assisted the Wildcats’ first two goals. “I was surprised, actually, for a lot of us we could easily see a team fall apart, especially when you’re not in a playoff situation where it’s lose and go home,” Friedman said. “The girls didn’t panic and rush, there was no freak out, like, ‘How are we going to score three goals in 40 minutes?!’ They didn’t play out of control, they kept their cool. And

There’s one of two ways the Montgomery County high school volleyball world can view Sherwood High School’s success at the annual Magruder Invitational on Saturday: The Warriors claimed the title, reestablishing themselves as one of the premier programs in the post-Alex Holston era, or they lost to Tuscarora, thereby technically putting an end to their vaunted 57-match winning streak — but at the same time, technically not. By all means and purposes, Sherwood’s 5-1 run in the allday tournament on Saturday counts for a record of some sorts, but not to the Maryland Public Secondary Schools Athletic Association, which, in the minds of some, is the determining factor if the streak is still intact or not. “That’s not really for me to decide,” Sherwood coach Brian McCarty said Sunday afternoon. “[The tournament] has never really been included in the winning streak. I don’t want totakeanythingawayfrom[Col. Zadok Magruder Coach] Scott [Zanni], it’s a great tournament and they’re real games, but these don’t count in the official records.” The tournament featured best of three-set matches while the regular season features best of five. The Warriors could still be a contender come late October for the state tournament. “I think all the work the girls put in over the summer and over the preseason — they really grew,” McCarty said. Sherwood knocked out Zanni’s squad, which went 4-1 in the tournament, in the semifinals. Others in the county to participate were Northwest (22), Richard Montgomery (1-3), John F. Kennedy (0-4), Paint Branch (2-2), Quince Orchard (1-3) and Wheaton (0-4).

In what is widely expected to be a parity-filled year, Bethesda-Chevy Chase and Clarksburg earned the firstmatch-to-go-to-five-games award. After taking the first two games, B-CC had a little trouble getting past the Coyotes’ blockers, according to Barons’ coach Marie Cornejo, and the match was extended to the fifth, where B-CC ultimately prevailed in its season opener.

Zarate said the core of his team consists of sophomores and he hopes to build a solid foundation despite obvious hurdles, such as the lack of a feeder program. He hopes this season will mark the beginning of a dramatic turnaround for the Rams. “Good Counsel was exactly like Rockville was when we took over,” Zarate said. “It was the worst program in the [Washington Catholic Athletic Conference]. Kids had basketball shoes and basketball shorts at practice and we thought, ‘Oh man, what are we doing here?’ But the kids changed the program around.

Different year, same story for Damascus football Swarmin’ Hornets easily defeat Einstein to open season n

BY JOHN

HARRIS III

SPECIAL TO THE GAZETTE

The Damascus High School football team took the message from its coach Eric Wallich to heart on Friday. The Swarmin’ Hornets were instructed to make sure that just because they are a part of a storied program, they didn’t take its present status for granted. The perennial postseason participants proceeded to make quick work of their opponents in Kensington, dispatching of host Albert Einstein, 49-22. “We knew Einstein was going to bring everything that they had,” said junior wide receiver-kick returner Jalen Christian. “When a team plays Damascus, they always want to beat us [badly]. We knew we

had to keep our heads straight and work hard and fight every play.” Damascus, like every high school team kicking off its regular season, had to fight to keep from urges of anxiousness and being overzealous when it was time to hit the field under the bright lights. “We’ve been training for nine months, and it all paid off for us tonight,” Christian said. “We all wanted to get that feeling out of our stomachs tonight. We’ve been working hard all off season, and we came out on fire tonight.” Damascus had plenty of contributors to its big opening night win. Christian scored two touchdowns, one on a 76-yard punt return and another on a 15-yard run from scrimmage. He also had a third touchdown called back by penalty to open the third quarter on a 75-yard kickoff return. Quarterback Chase Williams threw just four passes, but completed three of

them for 75 yards and two 25yard scores to Stephon Jacob and Alec Magas, respectively. “Chase has looked really good in the off-season I think he can have a really good year,” said Wallich. “He has a lot of confidence. “Jalen had a big night, [running back] Jake Funk had a big night Stephon Jacob had a great night. I am just pleased with the [overall] team. “ By building a 35-6 halftime advantage, the Hornets’ reserves received plenty of playing time. Said Wallich: ”[It was] nice to see everyone get in and get rewarded [with playing time]. And you want everyone to stay healthy, and for the most part, we were able to do that.” The Damascus first-string players were also appreciative for the rest. “The [first-string] coming out in the second half means we’ve done our job,” Christian said. “It also means

that our second string can get experience so when we get into tough games later in the season, they can play and do what they have to do. At practice, we go at each other every day. We train each other, and we help each other get better. That’s what we are here for.” Einstein coach Jermaine Howell used some humor to deflect some of pain of a solid defeat in the opening game. “I start coaching [varsity football] in [Montgomery] County, and in [the first three opening games] I get Seneca [Valley] first [in 2011], then Seneca first [in 2012] again, then Damascus,” he said. “How the heck do I get that? “Honestly as a staff, I look for the big tough games right at the beginning, because hopefully we can catch one of those teams that we are not supposed to beat off guard. With that said, I think it is good for our program. We can’t do anything about the scheduling,

stronger as we move forward. We are going learn from this, get into next week and see if we are any better.”

Walter Johnson High School’s Jordan Bobb watches his putt on Monday on No. 6 at Northwest Golf Course in Silver Spring. Michael Gilman, who precedes Bobb on the depth chart, tied Scilaris at 2-over. Josh Jacobs, slotted at No. 2, came in at 3-over. And the final starter, Justin New, finished with a 40, which still ranked individually in the top 25 in the county and his score wasn’t even kept. “We just all stepped up to the plate,” Gilman said. “We kind of just came out and stayed positive and played well.

The champs are back in town and it’s not those champs, the current state title holders, Thomas S. Wootton High School. This is Walter Johnson, right back where it began and ended the regular season and the first major tournament of the postseason: on top. At Bretton Woods Golf Course on Aug. 26, the Wildcats handily dispensed two of the county’s top contenders, Walt Whitman and Wootton, totaling a combined 6-over-par between five players to finish at 181. Wootton, the heavy favorites to win the 3A/4A state title again this year, finished 10 shots back, and Whitman somehow went 1-2 in the match with a 195, something Whitman coach Karl O’Donoghue thought was just about impossible. “‘I can’t believe I shot a 195 and got beat by 191 and 181 and finished third,’” Wildcats coach Richard Payne recalled the Vikings coach saying after the season-opening match. “Because 195 will normally win. If we can keep that up, we can go pretty far.” Walter Johnson went more than pretty far last year. They nearly went the distance. The Wildcats swept the county and district titles — both on tiebreakers, edging Whitman and Wootton on the former and Wootton on the latter — which predictably left the Patriots bristling. But Payne’s squad flamed out later that month in the state tournament, missing the cut and watching Wootton become the first team to top Urbana in four years. “Everyone on the team

player made a bogey on a par-5 after hitting it in a hazard, another three-putted the ninth green and one made a doublebogey in 54 combined holes of recorded scores. But still, “I think we can go lower,” Scilaris said. “We had some mistakes we could shave off so we could go below 180.”

FROM GARDEN TO TABLE

Whitman student plants vegetable garden for women in transition n

Garden is Girl Scout’s Gold Award project BY

PEGGY MCEWAN STAFF WRITER

It was a simple meal — roast chicken, rice and a salad — but the women who prepared it made it special with the addition of their own garden-grown herbs and vegetables. The chicken became roast chicken with rosemary, the rice was enhanced with herbs and vegetables, and the lettuce, tomatoes and cucumbers for the salad were all freshly picked. The dinner, held Aug. 21, was a celebration of the Garden of Hope planted at Betty’s House, a transitional home run by the National Center for Children and Families for women who are survivors of domestic violence and their children. The garden was the idea of Christina Esposito, 16, a senior at Walt Whitman High School in Bethesda. “This is part of my Girl Scout Gold Award project,” Esposito

said. “I wanted to do something local and I came up with the idea to plant a garden somewhere where they didn’t have the opportunity to have one.” The Gold Award for Girl Scouts is the equivalent of the Eagle Scout award for Boy Scouts, said Esposito, who is a member of Troop 5994 in Bethesda. The final project needs be one that requires at least 80 hours of work and is sustainable. “In a month or so, when it gets colder, I’ll come back and put the garden to bed for the winter,” she said. “I have a binder of notes telling [the residents] how to restart it in the spring.” After securing permission from the national center to work at Betty’s House, Esposito was invited to a house meeting to share her plan with the home’s four residents. “I was excited,” said Hadja, one of the residents who did not share her last name to protect her identity. “At home [in Guinea] we eat from our own garden. We don’t go to the market.”

Esposito said it took a lot of people to get the garden going. Her neighbor Kate Kern, a master gardener, helped her with the plan and American Plant in Bethesda, where she works as a part-time cashier, donated soil and the vegetable plants. Irwin Stone donated the stepping stones and Esposito got a free compost bin from Montgomery County. The small plot, in the southwest corner of the yard where the sun shines most of the day, is filled with tomato plants, sweet and jalapeno peppers, cucumbers, green beans, carrots, parsley, parcel — also known as leaf celery — and rosemary. It represents almost 80 hours of work, Esposito said, and more if the hours of help she received from Betty’s House residents are added. “We worked together,” Hadja said. “I was really happy and the kids are very excited about the garden.” Hadja said she was especially excited about the rosemary, an herb she never knew about before Esposito added it

to the garden. “We don’t have rosemary” in Guinea, she said. “Now I use it when I cook soup or vegetables. I love the smell of it.” One unexpected bonus from the garden project for Esposito was learning about the women and their lives, she said. “I felt very sheltered” prior to this, she said. “Working with [the national center] and Betty’s House was very interesting. I was exposed to different cultures and the women.” Myrna Moses, director of transitional housing services for the national center, said she thought the Garden of Hope was a great idea. “It does a lot for the women and extends our resources because [the women] are able to grow herbs and vegetables to use at the house,” Moses said. She was at the celebratory dinner and said it was excellent. “It was much better than I expected because they really wanted to showcase what they grew,” Moses said. pmcewan@gazette.net

EDUCATION NOTEBOOK Gaithersburg students relive history in March on Washington Fourteen fourth- and fifthgraders from Gaithersburg Elementary School were among a group of Gaithersburg residents who attended the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom on Aug. 28. “They really were taken by the people who were there 50 years ago for the original march,” Principal Stephanie Brant said. “They were able to see themselves as making history and said they will be back for the 100th anniversary.” The students, along with four high school students, were invited to this year’s gathering, called the March on Washington for Jobs and Justice, by members of the Beloved Community Initiative at Asbury Methodist Village in Gaithersburg. The Beloved Community concept was a dream of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., said Hal Garman, volunteer coordinator of the community at Asbury. It is a vision of a better society, a world where there is justice, equality, affirmation and acceptance of all people, Garman said.

These fourth- and fifth-graders from Gaithersburg Elementary School and their chaperones attended the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom on Aug. 28. ing at the Lincoln Memorial [was] a very powerful moment in the history of our country and in the lives of the kids.” Brant said that when her students learned that no president had been at the original March on Washington they wondered why and it opened up a great opportunity to talk about changes in the last 50 years. “It was fabulous,” she said. “They are still talking about it.” Garman agreed. “Even though it was crowded, even though we had to wait in line to get on the [National] Mall, even though it rained a little, [the students] were great,” he said.

HEALTH CALENDAR ONGOING New Mothers Postpartum Support Group, 10-11:30 a.m.

Cole Eileen and Ben Cole celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary on Aug. 10, 2013, with a dinner dance hosted by their three daughters at the Inn at Brookeville Farms. Along with the Coles, four other members of the original wedding party who attended the dinner were: Ms. Doris Mainville, maid of honor; Dr. Conrad Cole, best man; Mr. Jack Carroll and Ms. Nancy Elu. The couple met in seventh grade in Clearwater, Fla. They were married after college on Aug. 10, 1963, at St. Cecelia’s Roman Catholic Church in Clearwater, Fla. Dr. Ben Cole is a retired mathematician, and Eileen Cole is a retired librarian. The Coles have three daughters: Katherine Douglas of Bryn Mawr, Pa., Cheryl Holland of Kensington and Angela Cole of Rockville. Also in the family are two sons-in-law, John Douglas and Michael Holland, and five grandchildren: Alice and Sarah Douglas, and Colben, Ryan and Caitlyn Holland. As a special feature of the evening, Alice presented a slideshow set to music of the couple from their childhood to the present day. The Coles have lived in Maryland for 44 years and in the Ednor area of Ashton/Silver Spring for more than 37 of those years.

Offutt It is with great admiration and love that the family and friends of Bill and Eda Offutt honor them on their 60th wedding anniversary.

Bill taught for Montgomery County Public Schools for 34 years. After retiring, he wrote the 780-page book “Bethesda: A Social History,” which has led to him giving hundreds of talks around Montgomery County about various aspects of its history. Eda Offutt has volunteered for the last 28 years at the Historical Society of Washington, D.C. Bill and Eda Offutt will celebrate this wonderful milestone at their Bethesda home of 56 years with their three children: Bill and wife Nancy Reagin, Kate and husband Mike Morton and Caroline and husband Andy Gallagher, and their grandchildren: Mary and Seth Offutt-Reagin and Kathleen (deceased), and Shannon and Willow Gallagher.
