County ofﬁcer’s widow remembers fallen hero

Decades don’t erase memories of ofﬁcer’s fatal shooting

Montgomery police sergeant died in Wheaton crash in 2010 n

PEGGY MCEWAN STAFF WRITER

Melissa Ayala remembers the night her husband, Montgomery County Police Sgt. Hector Ayala, died while on duty — April 4, 2010. She said she can tell the story a million times and it still hurts ﬁve years later. “There was a knock at the door Easter Sunday about 4:30 a.m.,” she said. “I was pregnant with triplets and put on bed rest. Our son, Hector Jr., had been in New Jersey with my in-laws, but they were there for Easter. “My father-in-law answered and came to tell me the police were here. I thought it was a problem in the neighborhood, but when I saw Philip Meyer, a police ofﬁcer who was a good friend of Hector’s, I wondered, ‘Is Hector injured?’ It felt like forever [before] the words came out that Hector was no longer with us.” Ayala died in a car crash

Takoma Park keeps library design funds n

Council narrowly favors retaining money

KEVIN JAMES SHAY STAFF WRITER

Following pleas by numerous residents — including students — to keep funds for a new library design in next year’s budget, the Takoma Park City Council on Monday informally agreed 4-3 to retain the design money. Councilman Terry J. Seamens proposed not spending $200,000 in ﬁscal 2016 for the library design and engineering

work, saying he appreciated advocates’ requests and thought the library was a “phenomenal resource.” But he said he was “not sure that we have well deﬁned what it is that we want.” “The design changes that we listened to in the envisioning process really didn’t talk a whole lot about expanding programs,” Seamens said. “It talked about expanding shelf space. So I’m just not sure that we’re ready to start talking about designs until we look at all those different factors.

Forty-three years later, Nancy Acker clearly recalls her husband’s last day. Her husband, Montgomery County police Lt. Donald A. Robertson, had gone to work. That day, in March 1972, was a little more special; it marked his 13-year anniversary with the department. While in their Germantown home, Acker received a call from her husband’s brother, Ralph Robertson, also a Montgomery police ofﬁcer at the time.

Army facility targeted for face-lift n

Project to include modernizing animal research facility BY

KEVIN JAMES SHAY STAFF WRITER

A 67,000-square-foot medical research laboratory built in 1972 at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research in Silver Spring is targeted for renovations, according to a preliminary federal bid solicitation. The structure, known as Building 511, includes a vivarium that houses small and large animals, such as primates, used in defense and medical research projects. The work will include electrical, animal lighting, building automation, walls and ceilings, telephone and communication systems, plumbing, doors and windows, according

to the bid on the government’s Federal Business Opportunities website. The estimated construction price range is between $25 million and $100 million, with three years allowed for construction. The preliminary “phase one” bid, which is a qualifying phase, is due by May 8. The second phase — the formal bid — is due to be released on June 15, with the bid deadline slated for July 30, said Miles Brown, a spokesman for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ district based in Little Rock, Ark. The Little Rock district handles most projects overseen by the Army Corps at medical-related facilities, Brown said. “We have the expertise for medical facilities,” he said. “We have done projects across the country and even worldwide.” For the Silver Spring project, contrac-

tors will have three years to complete the work, under the proposal. Bidding is done in the two phases to help weed out companies that aren’t qualified for the project, Brown said Friday. “The idea is to save on time and money,” he said. “They don’t have to put a lot of time doing a full bid proposal, if they aren’t qualified for the project.” The Army Corps of Engineers also is soliciting bids for renovations to another structure at the research institute — Building 501. The 21,075-square-foot structure was built in 1954 as a pilot vaccine production facility to help protect soldiers, according to the bid on the FBO site. The first phase bid is due by May 18. The second phase is expected to be issued

Students learn health ﬁelds through NIH Discovery Program offers ﬁrsthand look at medical careers n

Before entering a new career discovery program at the National Institutes of Health, Ben Cabrera leaned more toward the legal ﬁeld. Now the junior at Blake High School in Silver Spring wants to pursue a medical ﬁeld, such as

neuroscience. “When I thought about joining this program [last year], I didn’t know much about NIH. It just sounded like it would be a cool place to work,” Cabrera said Thursday at the NIH Clinical Center during a visit to the research hospital’s epidemiology department. “But as I got more involved in this program, my interest in health care really increased.” That heightened interest by high school students in the medical field is exactly what Courtney Duncan envisioned

when she pushed to start the Discovery Program last year. The volunteer services program coordinator in the center’s social work department had heard from more high school students that they wanted to volunteer at NIH to help them learn about what the research campus does. Duncan knew of career exploration programs at other hospitals and decided the Bethesda center needed one. She sought a school that did not have a previous partnership with NIH and had a relatively high minority population. The Blake staff was

excited and identiﬁed students to participate, she said. “It gives them the opportunity to gain more knowledge about this ﬁeld before they have to make a decision on a college degree,” Duncan said. Starting last September, 13 Blake students, mostly juniors, have met for about two hours each month at various departments and sections at the center. Besides touring the departments and learning about the work from doctors and

School plans to increase employee compensation, beneﬁts in ﬁscal 2016

LINDSAY A. POWERS STAFF WRITER

The Montgomery County Council Education Committee on Thursday recommended that the county budget include nearly $11 million more for Montgomery College. Most of that money would let the college increase employee salaries and benefits. A portion might go into the college’s reserves. On Thursday, the Education Committee recommended the full council place about $10.9 million in new county money for the college on the county’s reconciliation list. That list includes items that County Executive Isiah Leggett didn’t put in his budget plan, but the council wants to fund if possible. If the money were added to the county’s budget, it would close part of the gap between the college’s fiscal 2016 operating budget request and Leggett’s recommendation. County Council President George L. Leventhal said Monday that putting the money on the reconciliation list is “an expression of hope.” Providing the full amount, he said, would be difficult. To address a large chunk of the gap between request and recommendation, Montgomery College officials have said, students could see significant tuition jumps next year to help pay for increases to employee compensation and benefits. The college’s Board of Trustees, however, voted Monday to follow the smaller per-credithour tuition increases the college initially proposed: $3 for students living in the county, $6 for students living elsewhere in Maryland, and $9 for students living outside the state. For 2014-15, county students paid $115 a credit hour, in-state students paid $235 and out-of-state students paid $323, the college’s website says. In its fiscal 2016 operating budget request, the college asked the county to add $15 million of new county money to the school’s next “current fund,”

which is the majority of its operating budget. The college planned to put about $12 million of that amount toward employee compensation and benefit increases. Another roughly $3 million was slated for initiatives and programs. Leggett recommended a $3 million increase in county funding for the current fund. The current fund pays for operations, student services, instruction and other things, according to a report from the college president. Leggett also recommended using nearly all of the college’s reserves to help fund its next operating budget. The school had proposed using $5.4 million from its reserves. Leggett’s plan would use about $9.4 million. The Education Committee’s recommendation would break up the $10.9 million of added county funding into three pieces of $3 million each and one piece of $1.9 million for the reconciliation list. The council could decide to fund one or more pieces. If the county adds the $10.9 million in its budget, the college could cover all of its planned compensation and benefits increases. Whether money would go into the school’s reserves hasn’t been determined. The committee recommended that the college use about $1.1 million more than the college had planned to use from its fund balance. The committee did not recommend putting money for the college’s initiative and program requests on the reconciliation list. Montgomery College President DeRionne P. Pollard told committee members that the college needs to protect staff, stay affordable, and keep financial reserves at a certain level. The college has three sources of revenue to pull from: student tuition, the county and the state, which directed about $40 million to the college for fiscal 2016. Pollard said Thursday that the state contribution for next year is set and she didn’t see the Board of Trustees raising tuition more than the college originally planned. Staff Writer Kate S. Alexander contributed to this report. lpowers@gazette.net

The new Silver Spring Library is scheduled to open 11 a.m. June 20, Montgomery County announced Monday. A grand opening ceremony is planned. The ﬁve-story building will house the library on the top three ﬂoors, a county press release says. The new $69.5 million library will be at Wayne Avenue and Fenton Street. The old library on Colesville Road closed in March.

Blair students compete in business project Students from Blair High School recently competed in a project to put together the best restaurant business plan. The competition was held by Street Law, a Silver Spring nonprofit organization. Its website says the organization “creates classroom and community programs that teach people about law, democracy, and human rights worldwide.” The event was held on April 13 at HMSHost in Bethesda. In an email, HMSHost spokesman Sean Matthews wrote that nine groups of six students from Blair had to put together a “mini RFP,” or request for proposals, to create a hypothetical quick-service restaurant at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. The competition was modeled after the TV show “Restaurant Startup.” Teams had eight minutes to make a presentation to a panel of executives after meeting with various departments at HMSHost, a company that provides food and drinks for travelers. The winning concepts were: • 1st: Mama’s Kitchen — vegetarian, healthy comfort food • 2nd: Fromage Grill — grilled cheese • 3rd: Popcorn Kernel — gourmet popcorn.

Two from Silver Spring on Rochester dean’s list Two Silver Spring residents were named to the Fall 2014 dean’s list at the University of Rochester in upstate New York. Adam Matthew Lott is a

sophomore majoring in mathematics. Lott, a graduate of Blair High School in Silver Spring, is the son of Susan and Josh Lott. Nathaniel Seumsuk Potrepka is a sophomore majoring in computer science and audio and music engineering. Potrepka, a graduate of McDonogh School in Owings Mills, is the son of Daniel Potrepka and Pani Phiansunthon.

Blair grad nominated for playwriting award Playwright and actress Ilana Turner was nominated for a playwriting award for her play called “O Réjane.” The play was considered for a Stage Raw Los Angeles Theater Award. Turner grew up in Kensington and went to Blair High School in Silver Spring. “O Réjane” is about “a remarkable French actress and theater impresario who changed French culture, fashion and socio-politics as the 19th century morphed into the 20th,” according to a press release from Turner. Actress Cara Pifko received an award for leading female performance for “O Réjane.” It also was nominated for an award in costume design. Turner wrote in her press release that she has three other plays in the works.

Silver Spring pianist in competition finals A junior at Blair High School in Silver Spring was a finalist for the 2015 National Young Artist Competition, hosted by the Charleston Symphony Orchestra in South Carolina. Brian Le, a junior in the math, science, and computer science magnet program at Blair High, was one of 13 finalists who were invited to perform for a panel of judges earlier this month. He won $1,000. Le, a pianist, performed Chopin’s Concerto No. 1, Movement 1 (Allegro Maestoso), according to a press release from the symphony. Yehun “Danny” Jin, a 15-year-old violinist from South Korea who goes to school in Philadelphia, won the competition. Le has been playing piano

Drug Take-Back Day is Saturday County law enforcement agencies will hold a Drug Take-Back Day from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday. It’s an opportunity to dispose of unused, unwanted or expired prescription drug. There will be drop-off locations around the county, including the Fourth District police station at 2300 Randolph Road, Wheaton. Officers will staff collection boxes in the parking lots or lobbies of the facilities, which also include the Friendship Heights Community Center in Chevy Chase; the First and Sixth District stations in Gaithersburg; the Fifth District station in Germantown; the Third District station in Silver Spring; the Gaithersburg Police Department; and the Takoma Park Community Center. The Rockville City Police Department and Montgomery County Sheriff’s Ofﬁce will conduct a separate Drug TakeBack Day May 30. These locations will accept prescription drugs and overthe-counter medications only. Liquids, illegal drugs, needles, sharps and syringes will not be accepted. All sites will take pills and medication patches

of all kinds. If possible, prescription labels should be removed or personal information should be blacked out; however, pill bottles will still be accepted if the labels are attached. No questions will be asked, authorities said. Most unused drugs should not be poured down a sink or ﬂushed for disposal, experts say. All the returned medications will be incinerated according to state and local regulations.

Takoma Park home tour to open community’s doors Sunday Event showcases residences that date to late 19th century n

KEVIN JAMES SHAY STAFF WRITER

About a year ago, Jill Morningstar and Alastair Fitzpayne hired a contractor and architect for a renovation in their Takoma Park home. The work was extensive enough to require their family to live elsewhere for a few months. But the results were worthwhile, Morningstar said. Their Queen Anne-style home is scheduled to be among the dozen houses and gardens in the 42nd edition of the Takoma Park House and Garden Tour on Sunday afternoon. The event is sponsored by the nonprofit preservation organization Historic Takoma Inc. It showcases residences along Eastern, Cedar, Maple and Holly avenues, reflecting a variety of architectural styles. It also celebrates the city’s 125th anniversary of incorporation. The project, headed by Washington, D.C., contractor and engineer Nick Alten and Takoma Park architect Wakako Tokunaga, transformed the dark, narrow upper floors and unfinished attic. It became an open common room on the second floor lit up by numerous windows and spacious bedrooms. “I liked this house before, but now I really love our home,”

42ND ANNUAL TAKOMA PARK HOUSE AND GARDEN TOUR n When: 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday n Tickets: $18 in advance online at www.historictakoma.org or from Mark’s Kitchen and Takoma Park Silver Spring Co-Op n Tour day ticket sales: $20 at Cady Lee Mansion, 7064 Eastern Ave. NW, Washington, D.C. n More information: Historic Takoma Inc., 301-270-2831, www.historictakoma.org.

Morningstar said during a tour on Monday. “There were parts of it that were just too dark, too confined. Now, it is airy and spacious.” “It’s one of the most breathtaking renovations that I have ever seen,” said Lorraine Pearsall, vice president of Historic Takoma. The couple bought the house in 2005, moving from Washington, D.C. They fell for the blocks of well-preserved historic homes. The two-and-a-half-story home on Cedar Avenue they settled on was the first house under construction in the city, dating to 1884, Pearsall said. It was built by Marian Veitenheimer, a niece of Takoma Park founder Benjamin Franklin Gilbert. Due to construction delays, neighbors Amanda and Isaac Thomas completed their home first, Pearsall said. The home had not been renovated in a long time when they bought it, but much of it was well preserved, Morningstar said. The grand staircase

that greets visitors in the front room and ﬁreplace are among the original features. In 2009, the couple called on Alten to renovate the kitchen. He put in sandstone counters and added a screened porch right next to it. He also renovated bathrooms — one with marble and another with porcelain tiles that imitate slate. Last year, the couple decided on the more extensive renovation, calling in Tokunaga, whose previous projects have been mostly in modern design. She said it wasn’t too challenging to work on an older building and incorporate its antique features into her and her clients’ ideas. Tokunaga talked a lot with Morningstar and Fitzpayne to gain more insight into what they wanted. “It was important to keep the intimate details of the home while making the improvements,” Tokunaga said. Alten removed much of the third floor and demolished a second-ﬂoor bedroom to create the bright common room. He TOM FEDOR/THE GAZETTE

He built a much more spacious upstairs master bedroom in a space that was mostly outside the original roof. Several rooms that were mostly storage or part of the attic are now children’s or guest rooms. The house now has five bedrooms, rather than four, and has added about 550 square feet.

Men charged with robbing local bank Ofﬁcer identiﬁed suspect from surveillance photos

VIRGINIA TERHUNE STAFF WRITER

Detectives from the Montgomery County Police Department have arrested two men from Washington, D.C., in connection with the armed robbery of a Capitol One Bank in Silver Spring on March 12. The defendants include Robert Varez Williams, 18, of the 4900 block of Call Place SE, and Jeffrey Jerome Walker, 18, of the 5800 block of Southern Avenue SE, according to a department news release. Walker and Williams have been charged with possession of a destructive device, armed robbery and conspiracy to commit armed robbery, according to the release. Online court records did not list attorneys for either defendant as of Tuesday. Police said officers responded at about 5 p.m. on the day of the robbery to a call at the bank at 11241 Georgia Ave. Walker passed a note to the teller demanding money and implying that he had an explosive device, while Williams stood outside the bank and served as a lookout, according to the release. Walker, however, did not get any money and fled from the bank, according to the release. The men were apprehended after investigators released surveillance photos of them to the public and to law enforcement officers. A Montgomery County police officer from the 4th District identified Williams as one of the suspects, and Walker was identified as the second suspect, according to the release. Additional information was not available from police Tuesday. vterhune@gazette.net

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

mantown said he requested the attorney general’s advice on whether existing state law already regulated pesticides after members of the Farm Bureau approached him. Farm Bureau President Lonnie Luther said his organization views the proposed ban as “one of the worst bills anyone could conjure up.” State and federal law regulate pesticides, leaving no need for the County Council to do so, Luther said. The Attorney General’s Office came to a similar conclusion. In an April 1 opinion, Assistant Attorney General Kathryn M. Rowe said it was her view that “a court would conclude that this provision [barring the application of nonessential pesticides to a lawn, with certain exceptions] would interfere with the purposes of these State provisions, as well as the goal of achieving uniformity.” In other words, state law already regulates pesticides, so the local ban would be pre-empted, if challenged in court. Safe Grow Montgomery had not seen the opinion until Friday, and said in a statement Monday that it does not agree with the attorney general’s office. “The AG opinion overlooks important factors used to analyze whether the General Assembly intended to exclusively occupy a field — in this case, the field of pesticides,”

the statement read. “The AG opinion mischaracterizes text from the Maryland pesticide law as signifying intent to prevent local legislation, and to promote uniformity.” In its statement, Safe Grow Montgomery wrote that “it is misleading and incorrect to take statutory language out of context to imply statutory intent.” Council President George L. Leventhal, the bill’s author, said he does not see the opinion standing in the way of passage. “Our legal staff does not think that we’re pre-empted,” he said. Proponents of the measure argue that it would protect county residents and pets from unnecessary exposure to chemicals that many believe to be toxic. Leventhal (D-At Large) of Takoma Park said the attorney general opinion is not the ﬁrst time pre-emption has come up, and added that “as the letter states, it would only arise in the event of a lawsuit.” “And, my goodness, virtually every bill we pass is

potentially subject to a lawsuit,” he said. “So, as I say, I don’t think there’s anything in this letter that will inhibit the council [from] moving forward on pesticides.” However, Luther said his organization is poised, with backing from state and national farm bureaus, to ﬁle a lawsuit should the bill pass. “We like to farm. That’s our life’s passion,” Luther said. “And, really, lawn care is part of agriculture. So we feel like this bill steps on our toes.” The way the bill is worded, farmers fear that, while they are exempt under the bill, agriculture “would be next,” and the bill sets the framework for putting farmers out of business, Luther said. Luther owns L&M Farm in Damascus with his wife. They harvest about 500 acres of hay and raise 100 sheep, 200 Angus beef cattle and 400 “fancy” chickens, he said. The farm also has a greenhouse and garden. kalexander@gazette.net • LEAK DIAGNOSIS • WOOD ROT • TILE NEW & REPAIR • ROOFING NEW & REPAIR • BATH/KITCHEN/BASEMENT REMODELING • WINDOWS AND DOORS • CARPENTRY • DRYWALL & PAINTING • STRUCTURAL & TERMITE REPAIRS

The Montgomery County school board took a step Monday toward improving its policy on how the district addresses child abuse and neglect. The school board preliminarily approved a draft policy that Andrew Zuckerman, the district’s acting chief operating officer, described as “totally different” than the previous version. “I think it’s a complete redesign,” Zuckerman said at the board’s Monday meeting. The public now can comment on the policy draft until June 8. The board is set to take ﬁnal action in late June. The updated policy — last revised in 2007 — is signiﬁcantly longer than the current policy, with new information about how the district will prevent and respond to child abuse and neglect issues. The policy changes are part of a broader school system effort to improve how it addresses child abuse and neglect. That effort is being carried out amid several recent arrests of people working in county schools who were accused of abuse or inappropriate touching. A school system employee who formerly worked as a teacher’s aide was arrested Thursday and accused of having sexual contact with a teenage student.

The proposed policy includes new language about improving processes for screening employees, volunteers and contractors; using national and local experts when designing professional development; offering students opportunities to learn about prevention and reporting; and supporting children who may have been victims of abuse or neglect. The updated policy also describes more in-depth the district’s requirements for reporting and responding to child abuse and neglect. Other added language would describe consequences for abuse or neglect or other related violations, and for those who fail to report suspected abuse or neglect. More information is included about investigations into possible incidents, including a statement that a district investigation cannot interfere with a police or other external investigation. Board Vice President Michael Durso questioned Monday if the school system’s human resources staff could take on the work outlined in the policy, given the system’s large and growing workforce and student population. Zuckerman said human resources management practices are not the only area the policy addresses, and not all of the work falls to human resources. The district is ﬁguring out if its human resources staff is capable of all of the work, he said. Board member Philip Kauffman asked how the system tracks reports made about an employee for behavior that

may seem innocuous once, but is more of a concern if multiple people complain. He wondered who would do the tracking. Joshua I. Civin, a school system attorney, pointed to draft protocols related to the policy. They say that the district’s human resources office has “confidential investigation files” that track such “potentially inappropriate actions” between students and employees. Kauffman said after the meeting that it “has to be clear” that someone is responsible for monitoring reports about employees — something he sees in the updated policy. Board member Rebecca Smondrowski asked if the district has “addressed every possible situation that’s been out there,” referring to past incidents in the school system. Zuckerman said the district has “all of the bases covered” in the updated policy. Richard Dangel, president and CEO of Praesidium — a consulting firm that helped update the district’s policy — said at the meeting the school system had done “a marvelous job.” “We don’t normally see this level of cooperation and collaboration in a community between all the people who need to be involved in this, and yours seems to be extraordinary,” he said. Jennifer Alvaro — whose past and current work includes education, prevention and treatment related to child abuse — said Tuesday she remains hopeful that the proposed policy would be “extraordinarily helpful” to prevent abuse or to help abuse victims more quickly. Alvaro is a member of a school system group helping the district improve its rules and procedures around child abuse and neglect. She said, however, that she sees flaws in the policy and its development. One issue, she said, is she didn’t see the district use an expert familiar with Maryland law around child abuse and neglect. Another issue, she said, is a lack of detail. lpowers@gazette.net

County proposes a towing crackdown n

Page A-7

A centennial celebration

Montgomery says it gets 200 complaints a year BY

KATE S. ALEXANDER STAFF WRITER

Lawmakers want to see better public protection for those whose vehicles have been towed — the top complaint to Montgomery County’s Office of Consumer Protection. The County Council is considering a bill that would change the law to better protect the public when vehicles are towed without the owners’ consent. “It’s literally the number one consumer complaint our county receives and it touches the lives of so many people,” said Councilman Roger Berliner. Berliner (D-Dist. 1) of Bethesda sponsored the bill with all eight council colleagues. Berliner spoke of the “horror stories” told by people who leave their vehicle for a short time, then find it has been towed. Eric Friedman, director of the Office of Consumer Protection, said the county receives about 200 complaints every year about towing done without the owner’s consent. About one third to one half of the time, he said, the towing companies have not complied with county law. The Office of Consumer Protection works to identify when consumers have been wronged and get them their money back. Montgomery’s towing law dates to the 1980s, Friedman said. County documents show it has not been substantially updated since 1997. The law requires that tow companies call police before taking a vehicle from a lot and that property owners have clear signs detailing the rules for parking on that property. Friedman estimates that 40,000 tows happen each year in the county, accounting for a $5 billion industry. He said the approximately 200 complaints per year are likely a small percentage of actual tows. Friedman said people believe tow companies and property owners go too far in having vehicles removed. Towing companies have contracts with property owners to remove vehicles, but some consumers suspect that companies prey on them, waiting for violations to make money. In 2013, state law banned socalled “spotters” — people who sit and watch for violations and alert property owners and towing companies. But Friedman said many tow-truck drivers now are the spotters. Some, but not all, tow companies engage in what the county sees as overly aggressive or predatory towing, he said. Attempts to reach G&G Towing and Henry’s Wrecker Service, both of which operate within Montgomery County, for comment were not successful. Berliner said the problem appears to be getting worse. He said people continue to report parking, going to a shop, then walking across the street to another only to come back and find their car towed as a “walkoff” — triggered as soon as the driver walks off the property. “There’s too many stories of cars having been towed,” he said. Berliner’s bill would: • Require the county executive to set maximum or flat rates for towing. • Give the Office of Consumer Protection subpoena power to enforce the law and authority to order the release of a vehicle. • Require more signs in parking lots, particularly those with 100 spaces or more and specifically at entrances. • Stop automatic tows from 2 and 9 a.m. and instead require those tows to be specifically authorized by the property owner. • Require photographic evidence of the violation that led to the tow. • Require property owners or managers to keep tow slips on nonconsensual tows. • Prohibit immobilizing vehicles with boots that clamp onto tires. kalexander@gazette.net

Former teacher’s aide charged with sexual abuse of minor Silver Spring man arrested, placed on administrative leave n

LINDSAY A. POWERS STAFF WRITER

A Montgomery County Public Schools employee who had been a paraeducator was arrested Thursday and accused of having sexual contact with a teenage student. Robert Otis Wilson III was a special education paraeducator, or teacher’s aide, until March 30, Dana Toﬁg, a school system spokesman, wrote Friday in an email. Wilson recently changed jobs in the school system and is now on administrative leave. He was charged with one count of sexual abuse of a minor and three counts of a third-de-

gree sex offense. The charges are tied to interactions between Wilson, who was a paraeducator at Loiederman Middle School in Silver Spring, and a teenage female student, according to police. Wilson, 23, of the 14000 block of Grand Pre Avenue in Silver Spring, was arrested at around 9 p.m. Thursday, said Natasha Plotnikov, a public information coordinator for county police. According to Wilson’s charging documents, police said the abuse and offenses occurred from around October 2014 to March 31, mostly at Loiederman Middle during a “relationship” between Wilson and the female minor. The minor is now 14 years old, according to a county police press release. Wilson and the female student met frequently under a

stairwell at the school, “where they would kiss and touch,” according to the charging documents. The location was out of sight of cameras. The interactions between Wilson and the student alleg-

edly started when Wilson was helping her in an after-school homework club. Wilson and the student called and texted each other. Wilson and the student met once at the apartment building where the student lives. There, they had sexual contact, charging documents said. They last had contact at the end of March, according to charging documents. Toﬁg wrote in his email that the allegation against Wilson was “immediately” reported to Child Protective Services and county police after it was brought to the attention of a Loiederman staff member earlier this month. “We are very concerned and disturbed about the allegations against Mr. Wilson and that some of the alleged conduct that led to his arrest may have occurred on school property,”

he said in the email. Amid several recent arrests of individuals who worked in county schools, the school system is taking steps to improve how it addresses child abuse and neglect. The school board took tentative action Monday on a revised version of the district’s child abuse and neglect policy. After working at Loiederman since August 2013, Wilson recently switched to a job in the school district’s Division of Food and Nutrition Services warehouse, Tofig wrote in his email. Wilson has been the assistant track coach at Wheaton High School for the last two years, according to Tofig. The communities at Loiederman Middle and Wheaton High are being notified about Wilson’s arrest, Tofig wrote. In a Friday letter to parents,

Loiederman Principal Nicole Sosik said Wilson had been arrested and charged with sexual abuse of a minor. She said some of Wilson’s conduct “is alleged to have occurred in the school.” “While I know this news is upsetting and shocking, please know that our staff took quick action that ultimately led to this arrest,” she said in the letter. Wheaton High Principal Debra Mugge also sent a letter to parents on Friday. Wilson was released from detention on Friday after posting a $25,000 bond, according to online court records. He is scheduled for a preliminary hearing on May 22, according to online court records. No attorney information was listed as of Tuesday. lpowers@gazette.net

County Council votes to renovate its Rockville ofﬁce building n

Project expected to take through mid-2017 to complete BY

KATE S. ALEXANDER STAFF WRITER

Montgomery County Council will renovate its current ofﬁce building in Rockville rather than moving down the street. The council voted 8-1 Tuesday to spend about $32 million to repair its ofﬁce building on Maryland Avenue, a projected

expected to take through mid2017 to complete. Councilman Marc B. Elrich voted against the project. In an interview afterward, he said he’d hate to see a school project not get funding because of the cost of this one. “I really think this building needs to be ﬁxed, but I think we’ve got to think about the list of things that need to be dealt with,” Elrich (D-At Large) of Takoma Park said. “With uncertain funding from the state for schools and no certainty of how

this is going to play out over the next few years, I’m not sure this should be a priority.” Since 2008, the council has mulled plans to move or ﬁx its existing space, which is plagued by an aging HVAC system and dilapidated facilities. Deputy Council Administrator Glenn Orlin said at a committee meeting on April 22 that before the recession of 2007 to 2009, the council considered building a new facility across the street, next to the Executive Ofﬁce Building. The estimated price tag was $125 million. The council has since decided to explore other options. The Government Operations and Fiscal Police Committee unanimously cut those options to one — renovation. The committee also consid-

ered moving to the former gray and red-brick courthouses in downtown Rockville. “This is one of those projects that is really important,” Councilwoman Nancy Navarro, the committee chairwoman, said during committee discussion. Renovating the building will cost about $32 million total, Orlin said. That includes moving and about five small additions the committee tacked on and the council approved, including: • Creating a furnished thirdfloor lobby. • Repainting the secondand third-floor halls. • Removing wallpaper and painting the cafeteria. • Replacing signs throughout the building. • Improving signs directing people from the parking garage.

Moving to the old courthouses would cost several million dollars more, with estimates ranging up to $53.6 million. Councilman Sidney A. Katz said in an interview that the current building’s HVAC system is “horrible,” something he experienced firsthand after the system leaked water into his office earlier this year. “I, too, agree this building is where we need to be and we need to be fixing it as quickly as possible,” Katz (D-Dist. 3) of Gaithersburg said. The council faced harsh criticism from education leaders for even considering spending capital funds on county offices when many schools are overcrowded. But Councilman Hans Riemer said during the committee discussion that while much

of the county’s capital spending goes to schools, it also spends money on other county projects. The ofﬁce building houses council members and staff, but Riemer (D-At Large) of Takoma Park and Navarro (D-Dist. 4) of Silver Spring spoke of how much the public also uses the building. If the council delays renovations, the building will deteriorate more, Navarro said. Orlin said the project would cost about $32 million, but the county should only have to issue bonds for about $23 million. To cover the rest, the council voted to pull roughly $3 million from the Montgomery County Government Complex project. The council will use funds set aside to renovate the building and will use about $6 million in energy savings, Orlin said.

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

Though Rogers says he’s unsure whether this will inspire residents to lessen their energy consumption, he said it’s definitely a way to put the idea into their minds. “This is a way of stimulating and reinforcing interest in a way that relates to what we do right here.

SHOOTING

Continued from Page A-1 “He told me that Don had been shot, and they were sending a cruiser to take me to the Washington Sanitarium [and Hospital, now Washington Adventist Hospital in Takoma Park],” Acker recalled in a telephone interview. “It was the longest ride of my life.” At the old Silver Spring police station on Sligo Avenue, Robertson, then a 35-year-old police detective, became suspicious after some fellow officers brought in Jeffrey Aaron Burko. The 24-year-old Burko had been stopped in Silver Spring in a white 1964 Rambler near the former Hahn Shoes store on Georgia Avenue, which was robbed at gunpoint around 4 p.m. that day. Robertson was off duty when Burko’s car was parked in the station’s basement garage and he came upstairs for questioning. Robertson volunteered to stay to help with the case. Officers searched Burko’s vehicle for a weapon, but did not search the trunk, according to court records. Robertson and at least one other officer went to the basement to search the trunk, according to court records. “That’s the kind of officer he was,” Acker said. “He was that thorough and committed. He would have done anything to thwart crime.” After unsuccessfully trying to pry open the trunk, Robertson climbed into the back seat of the vehicle and started to remove the seat when three shots rang out, according to Montgomery County police. The first two struck the windshield. The third hit Robertson in the forehead. Officers shot at the trunk, and soon found Steven Van Turner, 23. They also found about $1,000 believed taken from the shoe store in the robbery. Published newspaper reports cited a medical examiner’s ruling that Turner had shot himself as police fired bullets into

LIBRARY

Continued from Page A-1 “It needs to be done. We need to do it to upgrade our library. But I don’t think we’re ready for this yet. And given where we are with the difﬁculty in budgeting this year, I advocate that we postpone this for a year.” Other council members said the 9,400-square-foot library was in need of substantial renovations and the process shouldn’t be delayed a year. “The library is held together by a lot of hope, duct tape and Band-Aids,” said Councilwoman Kate Stewart. “It’s been 25 years since the interior was updated. The windows are not

the trunk. Robertson was transported to the Washington Sanitarium and pronounced dead at 7:30 p.m. Survivors included two daughters. Also, Acker was expecting. She would give birth to a son, Don, who now lives in Clarksburg and works as an executive for an area company. “He was such a fun guy and very fair,” Acker said. “He was so well respected by his peers. He loved his job and the police department. It was definitely his calling.” Many relatives and friends of Robertson planned to be at Dulaney Valley Memorial Gardens in Timonium for the 30th annual Fallen Heroes Day on Friday. However, organizers said Tuesday the event will be postponed until later this spring, as public safety agencies focus on riots and protests in Baltimore. The Fallen Heroes Day event attracts hundreds of law enforcement officers, firefighters, community and political leaders, and others who commemorate public safety officers and personnel who died in the line of duty during the past year. The event also commemorates a police officer and firefighter who died before the first Fallen Heroes event in 1986. Robertson was chosen as this year’s past police honoree. This year’s ceremony is scheduled to be dedicated to John W. Armiger Jr., the ceremony’s founder and former owner of Dulaney Valley, who died of heart failure in March. Armiger’s father set aside 330 burial spaces for public safety officers and spouses, with 68 currently buried there. Last year, Montgomery County paid tribute to 17 police officers killed in the line of duty since 1928 at its Fallen Heroes Memorial Service at the Montgomery County Public Safety Memorial in Gaithersburg. Six of the 17 died by gunfire, according to the nonprofit Officer Down Memorial Page. In Robertson’s case, Burko

was convicted of second-degree murder and armed robbery by a Frederick County jury. The conviction was ordered vacated by the U.S. Supreme Court and returned to a Maryland appeals court on the grounds that prosecutors failed to prove Burko acted with malice and was not responsible for his accomplice’s actions. But the Maryland court affirmed the decision in 1975. The Hahn Shoes store opened on Georgia Avenue at Colesville Road in 1949, and the building was razed in the early 1980s, according to “Images of America: Historic Silver Spring” by Jerry A. McCoy and the Silver Spring Historical Society. Lee Plaza, a 10-story office building that houses the headquarters of Lee Development Group, the Greater Silver Spring Chamber of Commerce and others, now stands at that visible corner. Acker, who remarried and splits time between residences in Florida and West Virginia, would not have been able to make the ceremony on Friday. “It’s an unexpected honor that we greatly appreciate,” she said. Following her former husband’s death, there was an outpouring of support from police officers and organizations. There were fewer groups and resources then, she noted. For Robertson’s 1972 funeral, former Montgomery police Capt. Douglas McFee wrote a poem, “Our Brother is Gone.” The poem by McFee, who died in 2010, continued to be read at funerals nationwide for fallen officers, according to his obituary in The Washington Post. “My brother was laid to rest, and today we feel once again the loss of someone of whom we could be proud, to whom we could relate, someone who cared, who understood, who loved and was loved,” the poem reads. “We, unlike many, do not forget, because today when my brother was laid to rest, so also was a part of each of us.”

insulated. There is no wall insulation in our library. ... We have not addressed the energy issues at the library, and I think we need to.” Councilman Tim Male and Councilman Jarrett Smith said they also are strong supporters of the library, but they want to see options on how the city will pay for renovations before moving ahead with the design. Councilman Fred Schultz said such projects are generally paid for through bonds over a long period, and he didn’t want to lose momentum from what was accomplished so far. Schultz, Mayor Bruce Williams, Councilman Seth Grimes and Stewart agreed in the informal vote to retain funding next year. Seamens, Male and Smith

were opposed. In February, a consultant told the council that renovating the library to bring the building up to current codes and meet future demand will cost $2.1 million to $3.5 million. Besides not being energy efficient, the building, constructed about 60 years ago, does not meet federal Americans with Disabilities Act standards for rest rooms and the width of collections shelving, the consultant said. The council is scheduled to start formally voting on the fiscal 2016 budget on May 11. City Manager Suzanne Ludlow’s 2016 budget proposal calls for a tax-rate increase from 57 cents per $100 of assessed valuation to 59 cents. Most of the tax increase would go to a phased-in wage hike for employees that runs through fiscal 2017, she said.

Continued from Page A-1 while responding to a call for help from another officer at the scene of a fight in Wheaton. “A tire blew and he lost control on Veirs Mill and Randolph [roads],” Melissa Ayala said. Ayala’s story of denial, pain, loneliness and the work of raising Hector Jr., who was 14 months old when his father died, and the triplets, Angelica, Gabriella and Victoria, born two months after, continues still, “Some people don’t understand that moving forward isn’t forgetting,” she said. “That pain can be relived in a minute.” Her home in upper Montgomery County is filled with reminders of Hector. Plaques and pictures hang on the living room walls. A cabinet is filled with medals and awards he earned during his years with MCPD. There are even models of bright yellow, black and red Mustangs — Hector’s car. His was a 1989 black Mustang.

They have donned lab coats and gloves to work in a mock blood lab. They have used an ultrasound machine in radiology. They have sampled equipment in other departments, including rehabilitation medicine, pharmacy and surgery. On Thursday, students asked questions about the center’s care of Ebola virus patients and other matters. They learned how carefully staff cared for such patients, even treating waste before it was ﬂushed down the toilet. They learned how an American health care worker admitted to the center in March with the Ebola virus after volunteering in Africa was discharged in early April following successful treatment. They learned about other diseases the center combats, such as the Klebsiella pneumoniae “superbug” bacteria that ofﬁcials got under control several years ago by collaborating with researchers at the

“I still have it,” she said. “It’s in the garage.” Some things Ayala does for herself, to keep the memory of her husband alive. Some things she does for the children, so they can learn about their father, a man who died before they could know him. “We were such a big part of his life,” she said. “He wanted nothing more than a big family and kids.” Every year, she and the children attend the Fallen Heroes Day ceremony at Dulaney Valley Memorial Gardens in Timonium, where Hector is buried. “It’s an amazing event,” she said. “They do a beautiful job and although it hurts, I can’t think of a better place to go.” Fallen Heroes Day is celebrated in Maryland on May 1 at Dulaney Valley Memorial Gardens. However, organizers said Tuesday that this year’s event will be postponed until later this spring, as public safety agencies focus on the riots and

protests in Baltimore. In 1976, John Armiger Sr., who owned the memorial gardens, set aside 330 burial spaces for fallen heroes — men and women from Maryland’s public safety community who died in the line of duty. In 1986, his son, John Armiger Jr., started Fallen Heroes Day. Jack Mitchell, the current president of the cemetery, said he thinks Maryland is the only state with a Fallen Heroes Day. “It’s very meaningful and for us, it is an honor,” he said. Each May 1 ceremony honors the fallen heroes of the previous year. “One fact that is probably the saddest of all is that we’ve never had a year without a death,” he said. Ayala said she tells her story because she hopes she can inspire others. “Cherish life and live it,” she said. “Although there is tragedy, there are beautiful parts to life.”

NIH’s National Human Genome Research Institute. They also visited the special clinical studies unit and tried on protective equipment. Responding to a question of whether she was scared while treating Ebola patients, Dr. Tara Palmore — hospital epidemiologist and director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases’ infectious diseases training program — said the hospital’s strict controls and procedures gave her conﬁdence. “But I was very careful,” Palmore said. Palmore was part of the NIH team who briefed the media during a conference last October on the successful treatment of Texas nurse Nina Pham, who had contracted Ebola. Palmore also led the K. pneumoniae outbreak investigation. Hearing about the procedures and how such diseases are treated was fascinating, said Ericka Njeumi, a Blake junior who wants to pursue a career in psychiatry. One of the most memorable previous sessions involved radiology, she said. “It was interesting to ﬁnd out about the wide range of careers in radiology,” Njeumi

said. That was a key discovery for Asorai Dhaba, another Blake junior, as well. “This program showed me that there is more to the medical ﬁeld than I thought,” said Dhaba, who wants to pursue being an OB/GYN. “It’s not just about being a doctor or nurse. There is a whole team of people involved.” The program has its ﬁrstyear closing ceremony in May and plans to continue next year with a new class, Duncan said. Minority students in good academic standing with an interest in health care are being recruited. Teacher recommendations, an essay and a résumé are required. Numerous students are applying for other NIH volunteer programs, including those over the summer. “It’s great to see how excited they are and how they want to come back,” Duncan said. Seeing the staff’s level of teamwork has been eye-opening, several students said. “There is a real unity of mission here,” Cabrera said. “And everyone has been so good to us. Everyone is so humble.”

In 2012, syringes and other medical waste — possibly from a landﬁll on the annex where waste was dumped during and after World War II — were

found near a neighborhood trail. Residents and Army officials have worked on a plan to deal with that area along the Ireland Drive Trail. The plan could include fencing off portions of the trail. Barbara Schubert, an area resident who has worked to save the trail, said Friday she had not heard much about the plan lately.

Marie Anita Babyak, 76, of Damascus, Maryland passed away Thursday, April 23, 2015. She is survived by her beloved husband John, two daughters, Susan and Julie Ann Collier. She is survived by one granddaughter, Harper Rose who arrived very late in Marie’s life but early enough to be totally loved. Marie was born in Yonkers, New York, and graduated from High School in 1958. She worked for eleven years at Otis Elevator Company. Marie was an active member of St. Paul’s Catholic Church in Damascus. She was also an occasional parishioner at St. Gregory’s Byzantine Catholic Church in Beltsville. Besides doing financial work for the church Marie was also a member of the Catholic Daughters. She was an active member of the YWomen, the Damascus Garden Club, a quilting club and stamping club. She and her husband were active in square dancing in the Washington area and she and her husband were members of the Board of the Mid-Atlantic Challenge Association. Marie was one of the easiest people to know. It was not unusual for her to go into Safeway for milk and come out an hour later having spent that time talking to old friends that she had never met before. She loved animals and they knew it and couldn’t get to her fast enough when they saw her. She was great with people. It didn’t make any difference if they were old, crippled, black, white, gay or whatever. They were all people and she truly treated them all alike. And people know it and she was truly loved by all. But kids were her great joy. She had a way of making them comfortable and they enjoyed being with her. She was a room-mother at Woodfield Elementary School for eight years, at Baker Jr. High School for six years and Damascus High School for six years. She often meets former students, in their forties, who remember playing games with her at school. The family will receive friends 3-8 p.m. Wednesday, April 29, at St. Paul’s Catholic Church, 9240 Damascus Road, Damascus, Maryland, where a Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated, Thursday, April 30 at 11:00 a.m. Interment will be in Yonkers, New York.

Embracing ethics

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

LETTERS TOT HE EDITOR

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

In conclusion, I hope that heroes who help others — like military service members, police, fire-

ﬁghters and EMTs — are looked up to and respected more than pro sports players and actors, and I hope the sort of recognition that Montgomery County’s ﬁrst responders received last month continues.

‘Urban complex’ concept not grounded in reality There are news media articles describing the phenomenon of “mixeduse, residential-retail units,” in which residents can come down to the ground level of their high-rise apartments to shop and dine. Sound familiar? Called “urban complexes,” this can be applied to Bethesda and the White Flint area of North Bethesda. I call this myopic approach “myopic concept.” There is nothing wrong with the advantage of literally never having to leave the womb of one’s residential area. But, it is not reality. This concept is behind the basic development plan for the land east of the White Flint Metro station, between

Old Georgetown Road and Marinelli Road (north and south) and Rockvillle Pike and Nebel Road (east and west). Often referred to as the Bethesda Row area Phase II, much new construction has been parking garages, which are not for “urban complex” residents, but for people from near and far who want to make use of the some 200 restaurants and movie complex in that area. The same thing is going to happen to the White Flint development of North Bethesda. It will be come so popular, the “urban complex” dwellers — and even nearby residents — will see a sharp increase in vehicular trafﬁc.

For years, we in this area have heard that traffic will be mitigated by Metro use. It has not happened. Instead, vehicular traffic has increased. Note the constant changing of plans for Rockville Pike (or Rockville Boulevard, as some want to call it). That is because of traffic impact, which was left to developers to mitigate through a fee. All I ask for is a comprehensive plan for development, understanding that traffic does not begin or end within the confines of an area, but is very widespread. In other words, success of the “urban complex” depends on a wider outlook before approval. David H. Brown, North Bethesda

Transit comment doesn’t make sense

In the April 8 story about the M-83 (Midcounty Highway Extension), Montgomery County Department of Transportation spokeswoman Esther Bowring was quoted as saying the fatal ﬂaw was that the option for public transportation, speciﬁcally a Bus Rapid Transit system, was not in the master plan and could not be selected as a preferred alternative. That comment seems to make little sense in light of the fact that there are no fewer than two Bus Rapid Transit systems planned adjacent to the M-83 highway project already.

One is the Corridor Cities Transitway, and the other is the county executive’s BRT plan along Md. 355. Given that those BRT plans on the table are already on life support for lack of funds and broader support, it is puzzling why Ms. Bowring cites M-83’s fatal ﬂaw as being a feature that many stakeholders are currently working so hard on making a reality through two more advanced BRT alternatives. The Clarksburg master plan was projected for about 43,000 people and is probably more than halfway

there. It was conceived with the M-83 highway as the main new transportation facility enabling its existence. We need BRT, but we also desperately need increased road capacity in the Interstate 270 corridor on and adjacent to it. Emmet Tydings, Brookeville The writer is a 13-year member of the Citizens Advisory Committee to the Transportation Planning Board for the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments in Washington, D.C.

Calculations don’t support ridership projection The headline in your April 22 issue, ”Purple Line’s impact grows,” has a subhead: “Study shows more jobs, money headed to region if rail line is built.” If a rail transit line carries 74,160 passenger trips a day after 10 or more years of operation along a route that never had significant bus or other public transportation, there would certainly be monumental economic impacts on the areas served. High-rise apartment buildings would replace single-family homes with yards. Local businesses would thrive, serving the densely packed population. As a management engineer who spent 30 years with the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey (mainly in working to convert the “tubes” into “PATH”), then formed a consulting ﬁrm that serviced major transportation operators, I was distressed to calculate that the Purple Line (as deﬁned by the MTA) could not possibly carry anything like 74,160 riders per day. The MTA said the line would oper-

ate 139 trains per weekday. Each train would be made up of two 90-foot articulated trolleys with space to crushload 140 passengers in each trolley. Those 139 train trips would have the capacity to carry fewer than 39,000 riders at peak loading points. The MTA said that the line’s track system would be designed to support up to 10 trains per hour and that this maximum number of trains would be scheduled in the two heaviest morning and afternoon peak hours. To claim that every one of these 40 trains might carry the maximum load is not credible. To suggest that the 99 off-peak trains, spread between 5 a.m. and midnight, might average the same loads, is absurd. The ratio of the peak-hour boardings to daily boardings is quite consistent on rail transit lines serving commuters. If that ratio is applied to the Purple Line’s maximum capacity of ten 280-passsenger peak-hour loads, daily ridership would likely be about 14,000. Clearly, 74,160 fares a day might

Entire team needed for success While I agree with Gordie Brenne (“Next superintendent shouldn’t give up on lagging standards,” April 15) that every effort should be made to close the educational gap for students, the new superintendent should not be required to be a miracle worker. Closing the gap between minorities and the average student cannot be the task only for the superintendent of schools, but also should involve teachers, students and parents, as well. Without the entire team, all efforts will be for naught. Unfortunately, the board of education has set the same impossible standards for the superintendent’s position, thus exposing Dr. Starr’s successor to an impossible mission. Let us be realistic as to what goals can be attained and establish those that are lesser but attainable. Nelson Marans, Silver Spring

A piece of nature would be lost with Purple Line

cover the estimated $55 million operation and maintenance costs per year. The Sierra Club said the lines ridership would take 17,000 cars off our congested highways. They added that it was the best transportation project in the country in reducing air pollution. Transportation Economics & Management Systems Inc. in its update of a study of the economic impacts of the Purple Line said that figures now show it would return more than $12 billion in tax revenues after five to seven years of operation. But all these predicted benefits are dependent on the 74,160 ridership estimate. The proposals to be considered in May include 30 years of operation and maintenance to provide a defined level of service at a fixed price. There is a strong probability that ridership, revenues and benefits in those 30 years will be less than a fifth of those currently projected. To enter into any such contract would be irrational.

“Purple Line’s Impact Grows” (April 22) tells only a fraction of the story. Yes, there will be more jobs and development, but what about the health impacts? All of the health-giving trees in the Silver Spring-Bethesda corridor will be gone. The opportunities for exercise and enjoyment in nearby nature will be gone, the peace and quiet gone, the beauty gone. Plus, the Safe Route to School will be gone, along with the safe passage under East-West Highway and Wisconsin Avenue. The developers have already acquired the permission to build tall in Chevy Chase Lake and are building tall in Bethesda and Silver Spring, so what more do they want? They really do not need the Purple Line. But if the Purple Line is built, workers and residents will lose the ability to be in nearby nature, and never regain it. There is nowhere else to have such a nature trail. The replacement “trail” is a sham — nothing but a shadeless sidewalk.

County boxers proceed to ﬁnals

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

Blair softball defeats RM Blazers’ ﬁve-run, two-out rally in ﬁfth inning delivers victory n

BY JENNIFER BEEKMAN STAFF WRITER

There is such a thing as wanting to win a game too much, Blair High School softball coach Louie Hoelman said. And the No. 5 Blazers might have been hit by that phenomenon in the top of the seventh inning of Thursday’s 6-4 win over visiting Montgomery 4A South Division rival Richard Montgomery, just three outs from a 6-1 win. Two well-placed Rockets hits coupled with three uncharacteristic fielding errors by Blair on rather routine plays helped Richard Montgomery get itself back within two runs, 6-4, with one out and the goahead run at the plate. But

first-year starting pitcher Karylena Cruz appeared unfazed in coming up with a clutch strikeout that was followed by an easy pop fly to third base — which was taken care of by junior Mildred Devereux — to close the door on the Rockets’ rally. “We never [make easy errors], Hoelman said. “We were really pumped up and I think because of that we rushed a little bit. We wanted to make the plays too quickly. But it’s fine, I think it was a learning experience. ...[Cruz] is so calm on the mound, especially for it being her first year [as a starter]. She’s pitching through some back pain, but as far as being confident and relaxed, she’s been both.” Blair (11-1) clinched the division title with Thursday’s victory but the

As the final round of Shynggyskhan Tazhibay’s Washington Golden Gloves open division regional title bout came to an end on Saturday, the Rockville boxer was visually winded. His steps weren’t as spry as they were in the first two rounds and understandably so. Tazhibay fought Matthew Abregu of Leesburg, Va., who wanted to be the aggressor, but Tazhibay wouldn’t let him. Each time Abregu approached Tazhibay with intentions of initiating contact, Tazhibay beat him to the punch. Tazhibay threw hard fluries and danced to another part of the ring, forcing Abregu to come to him, and each time the result seemed the same as Tazhibay exhausted his way into the 152-pound region title. “I feel very excited,” Tazhibay said. “I was worried about the decision because, honestly, I tired in the last minutes of the third round. I was worried somebody would give the victory to him, but when they raised my hand up — I’m going to Vegas.” Tazhibay was one of the 10 Washington Golden Gloves open division regional champions crowned on Saturday, all advancing to the National Tournament of Champions scheduled for May 10-17 in Las Vegas, Nevada. “I have only two weeks before Vegas,” said Tazhibay, who trains at Headbangers Gym in Washington, D.C. “So I will do

Most of Whitman High School senior Emma Anderson’s friends were likely on the verge of falling asleep at 4 a.m. Saturday morning after Friday night’s prom festivities. But the Columbia University women’s soccer recruit went home just long enough to drop her dress off, she said, before hitting the road for Pittsburgh. Anderson’s travel team since she was 8 years old, the Maryland Rush Montgomery Coyotes (now Under-17) had two important matches Saturday — the ﬁrst at 9 a.m. — before returning home for Sunday’s Maryland State Cup semiﬁnals at the Maryland SoccerPlex in Boyds. The

team won all three games. It’s been that type of commitment, Coyotes co-coach Alex Gould said, players’ willingness to place the Coyotes’ success at the top of their list of priorities — Holy Cross junior Jade Ruiters also went to prom Friday and left for Pittsburgh at 1:30 a.m. — that’s made the team one of the Washington, D.C., area’s most successful in recent years. “Everyone puts in a lot of time,” Anderson said. “[Ruiters and I] had commitments this weekend, but we still knew that this team and what we’re doing took priority. These coaches [Gould and Kevin Layton] have been so important in helping us grow as players and helping us ﬁnd our college teams. We owe everything to them and this team.” The Coyotes, whose roster reads like a who’s who of Montgomery

SOCCER

Continued from Page B-1 County’s top high school players — nine 2014 All-Gazette selections — are scheduled to compete for their ﬁfth consecutive State Cup title in Sunday’s championship at the SoccerPlex. But unlike the past two seasons, the 2012 U14 US Youth Soccer champion — and last girls team from Maryland to win a national title — needs to win for its season to continue. After failing to secure a spot in this summer’s USYS during National League play in the fall and more recently in Las Vegas last month, the Coyotes can now only qualify by winning state and region championships. They won their only region title in 2012 on their way to the national championship. “It’s nerve-wracking because one mistake on the ﬁeld could cost the youth he whole season,” Ruiters said. “Everything we worked to achieve could be broken in one game. But I think it’s both good and bad because it pushes us to do better and play our best.” The Coyotes are somewhat of an anomaly. The youth soccer scene, es-

pecially at the top, is quite competitive and annual roster turnover is common as teams look to recruit top talent and players seek opportunities to win national titles. The Coyotes have not been immune to the occasional departure, but this team has remained largely intact, especially since 2011, despite the many offers for players to take residence elsewhere, Gould said. Anderson, Ruiters, Poolesville junior goalkeeper Kristen Darragh, Gaithersburg junior midﬁelder Lydia Narum and Magruder junior defender Deena DeSilva are original members from Gould’s U8 team. Seven other players on the current 15-person roster were on the 2012 national champion team — Juliana Comer (Churchill), Paula GerminoWatnick (Bethesda-Chevy Chase), Julia Abbott (Good Counsel), Amanda Wilson (Good Counsel), Lindsay Wytkind (Whitman), Annika Jansa (Bullis) and McKenzie McCaull (Linganore in Frederick County). The players’ cohesion and familiarity with each other on and off the ﬁeld has played a major role in the team’s success, Anderson and Ruiters said. The Coyotes weren’t always the team to beat in Maryland, Gould said. In fact, they struggled in the smaller-

But Hoelman said facing some of the county’s top pitchers and taking part in high intensity games on a consistent basis heading into the postseason could bode well for Blair. While Thursday was an overall wellplayed game on both sides, the majority of the runs scored were unearned — but that is typically the difference when two top teams face off. After Richard Montgomery stranded two runners in the top of the first inning, Blair took a 1-0 lead in the bottom half when Devereux drew the leadoff walk, moved around to third base on consecutive ground outs and scored on a Richard Montgomery error on Megan Houlihan’s grounder to second base. The Rockets evened the scored at 1-1 in the top of the third inning when speedy Tatiana Davidson, who reached on bunt single, ran home on a hit to left field. But it was a five run, two-out rally in the bottom of the fifth inning that broke open the game for Blair. After Rockets four-year starting pitcher Shannon Pow-

The Rockets stranded two more runners in the top of the sixth inning but if there’s one thing they don’t do, coach Mike Horton said, it’s give up. Richard Montgomery easily could have folded, down by five runs with only one more chance to make something happen. But the Rockets kept plugging away. They put pressure on Blair and the Blazers bent a bit. Davidson led off the inning by reaching on an error. Another error put two runners on with one out. Consecutive hits scored two and then another error scored the third. But, as was the pattern for the Richard Montgomery Thursday, the Rockets stranded two more runners. Cruz struck out four in a five-hitter; Powell struck out five and gave up just two true hits. “I think we proved tonight that we can compete with any team out there in the county,” Horton said. “You take away all the errors from [Thursday] and we win 1-0. If we take care of the little things, we’re walking home happy, [Thursday]. But [this team] is growing every day and they’ll grow from this game.” jbeekman@gazette.net

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

Churchill pulls away from Wootton in boys lacrosse Bulldogs shut down Patriots during key stretch to defeat their rival n

ADAM GUTEKUNST STAFF WRITER

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

Wootton High School’s Jack Wright (left) guards Churchill’s Louis Dubick during Thursday’s boys lacrosse game at Churchill in Potomac. Markus Hurd made a series of outstanding saves, including a point-blank robbery that switched possession over to the Bulldogs, who ultimately wasted away the ﬁnal seconds of Wootton’s advantage.

From there, Churchill’s experienced offense took over, scoring three goals in a twominute span to open up a lead they would not relinquish in a 14-8 victory. Immediately after his Bull-

dogs had successfully fended off the Patriots’ extra-man opportunity, Churchill coach Jeff Fritz called a timeout, sensing a chance to swing the momentum of the game. “I said, ‘You want a chance to seize the game? This is our chance,’” Fritz said. A two-minute unreleasable penalty on Wootton with 4 minutes and 11 seconds remaining in the half proved to be just the opportunity Churchill needed, as goals from Derek Altobello, Louis Dubick and Reed Moshyedi, all coming within a span of 92 seconds, proved to be the turning point. “Man down, that hurt us in the sense that we gave up three there,” Wootton coach Colin Thomson said. “… That’s probably the big turn there. Probably just the penalties and they capitalized on the opportunities given to them. That’s probably the [differential] in the game, to be honest.” “Our [defense] did a great

job,” said Dubick, who finished with three goals and four assists. “They’ve done a great job all year of being solid and fundamental on man down. They gave us a chance to pile on some goals there at the end. [Spencer Knife] drew a penalty for us and that’s what we do best. We have five seniors on offense and we execute on man up and down. We stuck three on them and kind of put the game away.” The victory seemed to mean something extra to Dubick and the other seniors on Churchill’s veteran roster who had endured two losses to their rivals the season before, including a 14-12 season-ending loss in the region finals. “There’s nothing better for the seniors — the guys who have worked so hard for four years for this program — than to get a big win over your rival school and keep it rolling at 11-0.” But for as many seniors as have contributed to Churchill’s perfect record, there’s been a

Northwest senior sets historic mark Zarate runs county’s second-fastest mile BY ERIC GOLDWEIN STAFF WRITER

PHILADELPHIA — First came the hurt, then, the pain. Finally, in his last lap, came the agony. Diego Zarate called the three ingredients “HPA,” and in the boys mile run championship at the Penn Relays, the Northwest High School senior was suffering through them all. It’s because of that — “I could tell I was going through a lot of pain” — that Zarate sensed he was in for something special Friday at Franklin Field in Philadelphia. Competing alongside the nation’s best runners, Zarate ran the mile in 4 minutes and 9.69 seconds to place third in the event. He went step for step with Sam Ritz in the final stretch, crossing the finish line just ahead of the Germanton Academy (Pa.) runner (4:09.94). Zarate had nothing left by the end of the race, and that’s a good thing, he said. “I couldn’t give anything more,” Zarate said. “If I’m not passed out, I haven’t given it my all.” Zarate broke his personal record (4:16.00), and the Virginia Tech recruit said he plans on doing that again — and suffering through the HPA — in the final stretch of his senior season with the Germantown chool. His new personal best is the second fastest time in Montgomery County history, and fastest since 1972. “Ofcourseit’sfeasible,”Zarate said. “Anything is possible with training and a good mindset. So we’ll see.”

Seneca shatters school record Omolola Sanusi wasn’t exactly content with her effort. The Seneca Valley High School runner had just completed the third leg of the 3,200-meter relay at the Penn Relays, and said she could have ran harder. After all, she wasn’t puking by the end of it, she said. What the sophomore might not have realized, though, was

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

bit of a youthful revival on the county’s top team, as two freshman long poles — Jack Taylor and Jimmy Rubino — and Moshyedi — a freshman attackman — have proven crucial to the Bulldogs’ unblemished record. “It’s the ﬁrst time our freshmen got to play in a big game,” Fritz said. “But to play a rival and in front of a big crowd tonight with a little extra energy, it helped them mature and step up.” “A lot of people say, ‘Oh, they’re freshmen, they don’t have a lot of experience and they’re going to do bad in these situations,’” Hurd said. “But I think the two freshmen on our team who are starting are some of the best who are out there. They don’t know the nerves that are going into this game but I think they handled it the best out there. I’m really [happy] with they’re performance.”

block, and the Northwest High School boys 1,600-meter relay team had to play catch up from there. On the last lap, it finally returned to the front of the pack. Several meters behind first place, Jalen Walker took the baton from Brendan Rhoderick, and then made his move. The Northwest anchor ran his leg in 48.49 seconds, helping the Jaguars (Zarate, Andrew Daniels Rhoderick, Walker) place first in the heat (PR: 3 minutes, 22.83 seconds) and place 39th out of the 552 relay teams, leading all Montgomery County schools. “As soon as I saw where [Rhoderick] put us,” Walker said, “I was like, alright, I got this.”

Quick starts The Bullis School girls also competed in the 400 relay championship, with Jôn Glass, Kyla Lewis, Alexis Postell and Arianna Richards finishing in 47.44 seconds (a team record for this year) to place eighth. In the small schools championship, Seton (Bladensburg) ran a 48.26. Whitman senior Evan Woods (4:21.15) competed alongside Zarate in the mile, placing 13th. egoldwein@gazette.net

Non-proﬁt donates equipment On Saturday, Leveling the Playing Field, a nonproﬁt organization founded by Bethesda native Max Levitt to help provide sporting equipment to at-risk youth, will team with the U.S. Tennis Association MidAtlantic Section to donate more than 200 racquets to local tennis programs targeting low-income youth, according to a news release sent to The Gazette. In recent months, collections sites were set up at eight tennis facilities in the Washington, D.C. area, in-

cluding Georgetown Prep and the Pauline Betz Addie Tennis Center in Bethesda. Saturday’s event is set to run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the LPF warehouse in Silver Spring where representatives from such local organizations as the City of Rockville Department of Recreation and Parks and The Rockville Center will come to pick up the racquets.

Washington Spirit win second straight Dynamic midﬁelder/defender Crystal Dunn scored twice and Christine Nairn added a third goal in the Germantown-based Washington Spirit women’s professional soccer team’s 3-1 road win Sunday over the New Jersey-based Sky Blue FC. The victory was the Spirit’s (2-1) second straight after a season-opening loss in Houston. Washington now sits in second place with six points, just one behind the Alex Morgan-led Portland Thorns FC (2-0).

BY SAVANNAH TANBUSCH SPECIAL TO THE GAZETTE

There’s something Shakespearian lurking in a tale of robbery, abuse, poverty, death and love at ﬁrst sight. That story courses through what Time Magazine has called “the greatest musical of the 20th

century” and is premiering in Olney. The Olney Theatre Center presents the award-winning, 70-year-old Rodgers and Hammerstein musical “Carousel” from now until May 10. Director Jason Loewith said breathing life into this play has been a personal goal of his since he became an artistic director 15 years ago. “I ﬁrst fell in love with this play when I was 12,” Loewith said. “My dad would play an

old, scratchy LP of it.” The story follows the courtship and romance of Billy Bigelow, played by Tally Sessions, and Julie Jordan, played by Carey Rebecca Brown, through a relationship of hardship and abuse. After both protagonists are fired for being indiscreet about their workplace relationship, Julie ﬁnds out she is pregnant. After a bank robbery “gone wrong” and an unfortunate encounter, Billy ﬁnds himself in an unusual predicament,

trying to win Julie back 15 years later and introduce himself to the daughter he never met. “The carousel is the wheel of fate, the wheel of time, and you have to make good choices,” Loewith said. “Some characters make good choices, and others don’t. It’s interesting to see the protagonist repeatedly make bad choices.” “It has a full mix of whoops and hollers next to incredibly intimate scenes,” Loewith said.

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

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

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

praised the song “I Loved You,” with Youstra calling it “classically beautiful.” “[Rogers and Hammerstein] have this great beauty and great lyricism,” Youstra said. “There’s a reason why people still love ‘Edelweiss.’” Youstra said minimal changes were made to the score of Olney Theatre’s adaptation. “It’s almost a perfect score,” Youstra said. However, there was one big change that had to be made to bring the play to life at Olney. The notation, usually meant

for bigger orchestras, had to be condensed to ﬁt a smaller orchestra. “We have a 12-person orchestra, which is the largest orchestra we’ve ever used at Olney,” Youstra said. “There’s also been a little bit of change in the choral writing.” Originally choreographed by Agnes de Mille, the choreography orchestrated by Tommy Rapley for Olney Theatre is a refreshing take off of the original, according to Youstra. “Even if the audience has seen ‘Carousel’ the ballet and the choreography are breathtakingly new,” Youstra said. With these changes in mind, Loewith said audiences should keep in mind that a few things may be presented differently in Olney’s production of the play. “People who know ‘Carousel’ like the movie should keep an open mind,” Loewith said. “We’re doing things differently.”

MONEY

Continued from Page B-4 However, as a fan of rock ‘n’ roll and aspiring musician, Money knew he didn’t want to be in a police uniform his entire life. Therefore, at age 19, Money quit the force and moved to California in hopes of pursuing a music career. After years of balancing his daytime jobs with his nighttime gigs, Money received a record deal and released his debut, self-titled album in 1977. Since then, Money sold more than 39 million records, traveled the world and toured with artists such as the Rolling Stones and Fleetwood Mac. Money said that although life on the road didn’t change much since the early ’80s, he did learn to overcome the challenges that many of the great rockers struggled with over the years, such as infidelity and drug and alcohol abuse. In addition, Money said the music industry drastically

For instance, he said the Internet’s progression, especially with the rise of social media, changed the landscape of music sharing. As a result, this shifted the way artists earn their money. Instead of selling records, artists need to worry about selling concert tickets in order to make the big bucks, Money said. Despite the change, however, Money still appreciates

the industry and thinks music is a universal gift, which is why he continues to perform. “The good Lord has blessed me with a lot of hits,” he said. “I got my weight down, I still have all my hair, and my voice sounds pretty good. It should be a fantastic show. Come down and do some shaking with the money man. I’ve got two tickets to paradise, and I’m taking everybody.”

A month full of mirth

“The Merry Month,” takes up residence as this month’s exhibition at Gallery B in Bethesda. The group show features colorful artwork by Liliane Blom, Cynthia Ferrell Johnson, Donna McGee, Carol Vorosmarti, Kathryn Wiley and Patricia Zannie. Blom is a classically trained painter and award-winning photographer whose distinct style mixes her love of both media into a new one she calls her fusion of painting and photography digital printing. Johnson, a fan of vibrant colors, says

her works in gouache and acrylic have been inspired by the people she met and places she lived during 25 years of globetrotting as a U.S. diplomat. McGee imparts a meditative quality with subtle colors and shapes. She invites the viewer to let their eyes travel over the entire canvas and draw their own inspiration. Vorosmarti considers herself a painter of nature and ﬁnds her inspiration in both exploring new locations and in the intimacy of her garden. Wiley began painting and drawing

while living in Paris and studied art history at the École du Louvre. Originally drawn to landscape, she now paints large acrylic abstract compositions, in addition to making sculpture from found objects. Zannie has been interested in color since she sat in her high chair during World War II, falling in love with her ﬁrst box of crayons. As a modern mixed media, collage artist she continues to incorporate crayons, along with oil pastels and inks into her work over 74 years later.

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

The all-female band out of Washington, D.C., will perform at the Bethesda Blues and Jazz Supper Club on Saturday. The group calls their style “sensual crank,” and it’s quite a unique sound. Be’la Dona has

picked up quite the fan following over the past few years, playing all around the DMV area. Each show is electrifying and intense, with the band pushing to make each show a little better than the one before. Tickets for the show are $20.
