An experiment in democracy

Close, but no title for Good Counsel

Rockville among ﬁrst to try state’s new voting machines in November n

RYAN MARSHALL STAFF WRITER

Rockville will be a guinea pig for Maryland’s new voting machines, but city ofﬁcials say they’re comfortable the new machines won’t cause problems in the city’s November election. There may be other municipalities that use the new machines in their elections this year, but Rockville will be at least one of the ﬁrst jurisdictions in the state to use them, said Nikki Charlson, deputy administrator of the Maryland Board of Elections. The state Board of Public Works in December awarded a $28.14 million contract to Election Systems & Software of Omaha, Neb., for more than 3,100 machines to scan ballots and count votes. The state also bought other

Sherwood Rock ’n’ Roll Revival kicks off Snow cancels rehearsals at high school, but the show will go on n

TERRI HOGAN STAFF WRITER

There will be dancing in the streets of Olney this weekend, as Sherwood High School’s 44th annual Rock ’n’ Roll Re-

vival kicks off. The show is a much-anticipated tradition for the entire Olney community — including students, parents, staff, alumni and even those with no connection to the school. The popular musical event continues to span time, showcasing the school’s talented musicians, dancers and crew. The show was established in 1971. The original concept

was conceived by a group of students from the Sandy Spring high school who were inspired after seeing a concert at Madison Square Garden. This year’s show features about 300 students, more than in previous years. “We lost a lot of seniors, so this is kind of a rebuilding year for us,” said director Bill Evans. “We have a larger band than usual and more younger stu-

dents.” Evans said the weather has wreaked havoc with the rehearsal schedule. Full dress rehearsals were canceled both Sunday and Monday due to snow and ice. And with more wintry weather looming this week, getting in the last few rehearsals could be dicey. “The last couple of winters

Aunt Hattie’s house destroyed in blaze n

Founder of Sandy Spring group home loses her own to ﬁre BY

TERRI HOGAN STAFF WRITER

Hattie N. Washington — aka “Aunt Hattie” — has devoted much of her life to providing homes for those in need. In a devastating twist of fate, Washington now ﬁnds herself looking for a place to live. On Friday, her home, in the

17000 block of Norwood Road in Sandy Spring, caught ﬁre, resulting in damages estimated at $500,000. Washington, who lived in the home alone, said she awoke at about 5:15 a.m. to the sound of her smoke detector, and then opened her eyes to a bedroom full of smoke. She went to investigate and found smoke throughout the house and crackling noises coming from the roof. She called 911, grabbed a few be-

Plan for bus depot’s next home still hazy County Council considering terms for selling current site

LINDSAY A. POWERS STAFF WRITER

A school bus depot’s future home remains uncertain as the county considers how to sell the site of the current depot and ﬁnd a spot for a new one. A Montgomery County Public Schools bus depot now on Crabbs Branch Way in Rockville is home to about 410 buses. It needs to move to make way for development around the Shady Grove Metro station.

The depot is one part of the county’s Crabbs Branch Service Park, which once held a variety of county functions. Facing a proposed deadline of January 2017, school and county staff are still scrambling to clinch short- and long-term solutions. In a years-long search, they are looking at one or more sites for a new depot. In its capital budget request, the school board asked the county for $100,000 to study the current site of the district’s Blair G. Ewing Center as a relocation option. The idea has stirred opposition from Aspen Hill and other residents. During a Feb. 10 meeting, County Council staff described other possibilities for a permanent location and a short-term solution that

places the depot’s buses at multiple sites. Under the short-term solution, the school system would park about 82 buses in 10 high school lots, 100 buses at the district’s Carver Educational Services Center in Rockville and 100 buses at the county’s Equipment Maintenance and Transit Operations Center. That leaves about 130 buses without a home. Besides the Ewing center site, the list of potential long-term relocation spots includes a Montgomery Village-area site on Woodﬁeld Road that the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission owns and the county-owned Oaks Landﬁll

Monday’s snow day could mean longer school year Calendar might extend to June 15; more snow in forecast this week

LINDSAY A. POWERS STAFF WRITER

After a messy ice storm coated much of the area on Sunday, Montgomery County Public Schools students got the day off Monday due to lingering dicey conditions. County students, however, could find themselves in the classroom an extra day in June. The school district has four snow days built in to its calendar. Monday marked the ﬁfth. “So parents and students should plan for the school year

to be extended at this point,” Dana Tofig, a school system spokesman, wrote in an email Monday. District officials’ decision to close schools Monday was mainly tied to road and sidewalk conditions, Toﬁg wrote. “While it warmed up throughout the day, the conditions this morning were not good,” he wrote. To make up for lost instruction time, the district plans to extend the school year by one day to June 15, a Monday. If schools close for any additional snow days, the system would continue to make up days in that same mid-June week. That possibility looms, as the National Weather Service forecast calls for at least

some snow Wednesday night and Thursday. The state requires school districts to hold 180 instruction days. The system can ask the state to waive any snow days not built in to the calendar. Last year, state Superintendent Lillian M. Lowery approved the district’s request to waive four out of six extra snow days. The district’s request to waive ﬁve days was denied. Tofig said the district will decide whether to apply for a waiver following winter’s end, when school ofﬁcials know how many extra snow days they had to add. lpowers@gazette.net

Newlyweds open up their lives through television series Olney native to appear Tuesday on Bravo show

TERRI HOGAN STAFF WRITER

Will Kirk and Laura find matrimonial bliss? Will they have children together? Do they mind seeing their private lives played out on cable television? The answers to the first two questions are still unknown. And the third question? That would be a “no” — they enjoy it. Kirk and Laura Knight of Bethesda are starring in the second season of Bravo’s series “Newlyweds: The First Year,” which premieres at 10 p.m. Tuesday. The show documents four newlywed couples for the entire first year of marriage, and will feature trials and tribulations, from challenging in-laws to fertility struggles and merging complicated lives together. Kirk, 41, grew up in Olney and graduated from Sherwood High School in Sandy Spring in 1992. Most of his family still lives in the Olney-Brookeville area. He said he knows a producer who brought up the opportunity to appear on the show. “After discussions with my wife about whether we wanted to open our lives up to the public, we ultimately decided to do it,” he said. “We like excitement in our lives and are risk takers — you have to be to be on a show like this.” Kirk said they were comfortable with the cameras and film crew, and for the most part, enjoyed the experience. “It’s strange to think that with so much going on around

Viewers may also recognize other sites in Bethesda and Washington, D.C. Laura, 35, is from St. Petersburg Beach, Fla. The couple met in Bethesda on a blind date. They had both moved to the area for a fresh start. Laura owns an insurance brokerage and is a Pilates instructor, and Kirk owns a commercial real estate investment company and an Internet startup, razzd.com. His website allows people to argue any point via video, and while others can vote on who is right and who is wrong. After

each episode, Kirk and Laura will “razz” each other on the site. According to biographies provided by Bravo, Laura is a stylish high achiever who looks at life as a series of to-do lists, upon which having a baby and buying a house rest firmly at the top. Already the father of two teenage sons, fun-loving Kirk enjoys his condo and leisurely lifestyle and struggles with giving his life up as the ultimate bachelor. Although the couple enjoys the luxuries their success affords, Laura is trying to be more practical as she hopes to become pregnant and move to the suburbs to start a family soon. Kirk, on the other hand, is accustomed to his life as an overgrown kid with his bachelor pad condo, sports cars and an expensive fish-collecting hobby. Viewers will learn if the couple is able to buckle down and make some of the necessary sacrifices to expand their family. thogan@gazette.net

Good Counsel, Blake students star at Strathmore Local high school vocalists will perform Sunday in “West Side Story + Roméo et Juliette” at the Music Center at Strathmore in North Bethesda. Young Artists of America at Strathmore will collaborate with Strathmore’s education partner, the Maryland Classic Youth Orchestras, for this semi-staged performance directed by Rick Davis of George Mason University. Three young singers, Alex Stone, Adalia Jimenez and Hailey Giddings, will highlight the performance. Giddings, a student at Our Lady of Good Counsel High School in Olney and a relative newcomer to the stage, has been called “a beautifully sweet soprano” and a “tremendous acting talent” by DC Metro Theatre Arts. Jimenez, of Blake High School in Silver Spring, frequently sings the national anthem at Washington Nationals games and has been featured in The Washington Post for her scholastic achievements. Stone, of McLean (Va.) High School, was a 2015 national ﬁnalist for YoungArts and recently nominated as a 2015 U.S. Presidential Scholar in the Arts. “These three kids will blow everyone’s socks off,” Artistic Director Rolando Sanz said in a news release. “They are among the best high school singers in the region currently.” The production juxtaposes the two love stories between modern-day Verona and New York City and features music from Bernstein’s “West Side Story” sung in English and Gounod’s “Romeo et Juliette” in French.

PARCC tests face slight delay in county after snow day Ofﬁcials, principals say schools, students are ready n

BY LINDSAY A. POWERS STAFF WRITER

Montgomery County Public Schools students were scheduled to start taking new state tests Monday morning, but wintry weather upset that plan. Instead, the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness of College and Careers tests — which are being fully implemented for the ﬁrst time this month — had to wait for Tuesday. Suzanne Woertz, supervisor of the school system’s testing unit, said Monday that the lost day isn’t expected to derail testing schedules. Some schools will shift back a day; others will take advantage of built-in makeup days. “If we just miss this one day, then we don’t anticipate any problems with having enough days for all of our schools to ﬁnish testing,” Woertz said.

The district must follow a statedictated window from March 2 through March 26. The district doesn’t need to ask to extend that time frame yet, Woertz said, but school officials will re-evaluate if schools close again on a testing day. Schools can choose when to give the tests, as long as students take them within the 20-day window. That flexibility marks a significant change from the stricter schedule for the Maryland School Assessment tests, Woertz said. The PARCC tests, which the district piloted last year, are aligned with the Common Core State Standards and replace the Maryland School Assessments in reading and math. This month, students will take the first of two PARCC rounds. The first tests are a “performance-based assessment” that are longer and more complicated than the “end-of-year assessment” students will take later. Third- through eighth-graders will take math and English language arts tests. High schoolers studying Algebra 1,

Algebra 2 and English 10 will take corresponding tests. The district and individual schools have been preparing for the new tests, both directly and indirectly, school ofﬁcials and principals said. Most students will take tests on computers, a task made easier by the school system’s technology plan put in place over the last couple of years, said Kara Trenkamp, director of the district’s Department of Instructional Technology. The plan has added Chromebook laptops and other devices in some classrooms and expanded wireless networks in schools, among other measures. Trenkamp said the district added more technology for everyday teaching and learning, but it has helped prepare schools and students for the PARCC tests. District officials have considered what assignments students should see in the classroom that would be similar to tasks they will face in the PARCC assessments, such as writing an essay from multiple sources, she said.

The district gleaned lessons from last year’s pilot tests. Schools tested what activity their WiFi could handle and found that the version of the Web browser used was important, Trenkamp said. Some students didn’t realize how long it would take to complete what seemed like a small number of questions, including an essay, Woertz said. “The devil’s in the details and that surfaced for us a lot of details,” Trenkamp said. The district will help schools during testing, with an online resource library, tech specialists and a help desk for calls. Kyle Heatwole, principal at Singer Elementary School in Silver Spring, said Friday that the 200 to 250 students who will take the tests are already comfortable with the technology they will use. The school’s third- and ﬁfth-graders have had Chromebooks in their classrooms since January, he said, and the school has had laptops since the building opened two years ago. Students are generally “very technologically saavy.”

About two weeks ago, Singer students tried a short practice round, which helped calm the nerves of some younger students, said Heatwole, who welcomes the new tests. “I’m really happy that now we’re going to have a test that does align to the curriculum we’ve been using,” he said. Principal Sean McGee also said his students at Wims Elementary School in Clarksburg were familiar with the Chromebooks they’ll use for the PARCC tests, having used them for class work. He said the school held practice sessions to help students get a feel for how the tests look on the Chromebooks and “the rhythm of it.” The school didn’t prepare students speciﬁcally for the test content, McGee said. “We’re not really in the business of teaching to the test,” he said. “We believe the curriculum really prepares the students for it.” lpowers@gazette.net

Local athletes represent U.S. in world skating competitions Skaters from Rockville, elsewhere in county hope to compete in Olympics n

KEVIN JAMES SHAY STAFF WRITER

Fresh off ﬁnishing ﬁrst and second in junior ice dancing at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships, four Montgomery County athletes are representing the U.S. this week in the 2015 World Junior Figure Skating Championships in Estonia. Quinn Carpenter of Wheaton and Lorraine McNamara of Germantown won the junior ice dancing gold medal in January at the national championships in Greensboro, N.C. Michael Parsons and sister Rachel Parsons, both of Rockville, won the silver medal in that competition.

The skaters often train at the Wheaton Ice Arena and were there Feb. 24 to perform in a celebratory event. Three speed skaters who represented the U.S. at the 2015 World Junior Short Track Speed Skating Championships in Japan last weekend also were there: Richard Montgomery High School junior April Shin, Churchill High School graduate Shaner LeBauer and Thomas Hong of Laurel. Shin ﬁnished seventh in the 1500 meters, while Hong placed 12th and LeBauer 27th in the 1000 meters. Carpenter, 19, learned to skate at the Wheaton arena when he was young and joined the Wheaton Ice Skating Academy program when he was 7. Skaters in that program also train under top-level coaches at the Cabin John Ice Rink and Rockville Ice Arena.

Engagement Costanzo, Small Toby and Joseph Costanzo of North Potomac, MD announce the engagement of their daughter, Amy Beth, to Ryan Patrick Small, son of Margaret and Michael Small of University Park, Maryland.

Carpenter and McNamara, 16, who joined the academy when she was almost 5, paired up and began competing almost a decade ago. They finished fourth in the 2008 U.S. Junior National Championships and third at the nationals in 2012 and 2013. Last year, they won a silver medal at the nationals, then ﬁnished fourth at the World Junior Championships. In 2013, they placed ninth in the world championships and third in nationals. Along the way, they won manycompetitions, such as at the Lake Placid Ice Dance Championships. “We try not to focus so much on winning a competition,” said Carpenter, who graduated high school while being homeschooled and attends Montgomery College. He plans to major in mechanical engineering. “We just want to improve and do the very best we can every time we compete.” McNamara, a sophomore at Connelly School of the Holy Child in Potomac, said she particularly enjoys the performance aspect. “I love being on the ice

Then in the first Winter Youth Olympic Games in Austria in 2012, the Parsonses ﬁnished fourth in the 12-team ice dancing ﬁeld, behind two duos from Russia and one from the Ukraine.

ers try to keep relaxed and focused. “We talk to each other,” said Michael, 19, a Magruder High graduate who attends Montgomery College. “Sometimes I do visualization exercises to stay focused on our routine before we compete.” Listening to music also can help relieve pressure, said Rachel, 17, a junior at Magruder. Carpenter said he also does visualization exercises before competitions. Beyond the pressure of the competition, they try to realize how far they have come and enjoy being in new places. “We get to travel all over the world,” Rachel said. The skaters hope to get to the Olympics, perhaps in 2018, but have to jump from the junior to senior circuit at some point. “Making the Olympics has always been a dream of mine,” Carpenter said. “It’s important to make your move to the senior-level competitions at the right time.” kshay@gazette.net NOTICE Notice is hereby given that application has been made by: Patrick Pak Eunice Pak on behalf of Ev & Maddys, LLC, for the transfer of a Beer, Wine & Liquor License, Class B, H/R, On Sale Only, for the premises known as Ev & Maddys, which premises are located at: 101-C Gibbs Street Rockville, Maryland 20850 A hearing on the application will be held in the Montgomery County Government Rockville Library, First Floor Meeting Room 21 Maryland Avenue, Rockville, Maryland 20850, on: Thursday: March 19, 2015 At: 9:00 a.m. Any person desiring to be heard on said application should appear at the time and place fixed for said hearing.

Auction rule measure raises concerns Bill would let storage units advertise sales online, not in newspapers n

DANIEL LEADERMAN

Marceline White, executive director, Maryland Consumer Rights Coalition

STAFF WRITER

Lawmakers in Annapolis want to change the way sales and auctions at self-storage sites are advertised, but some nonprofits say the measure could mean trouble for the poorer and more vulnerable users of those facilities. Currently, a self-storage facility can sell or auction off the property in a storage unit if the renter is in default for more than 60 days and the sale is advertised in a general-circulation newspaper at least three days ahead of time. The new bill would give facility operators the option of either putting a notice in a newspaper or advertising the sale in “any other commercially reasonable manner specified in the rental agreement” — such as online listings — as long as the sale drew three “independent bidders.” Those bidders must not be related to or have a shared financial interest with each other or the facility operator, according to the bill. Lawmakers say the bill will make the process more affordable for the self-storage businesses. State law currently requires renters to be notified of the time and place of the auction and given at least 14 days to pay what they owe before the auction proceeds. But changing the rules for advertising the sale is concerning to Marceline White, executive director of the nonprofit Maryland Consumer Rights Coalition. “More notice in a variety of places is better,” she said. People often put items in storage facilities because they are struggling financially and would then have to repurchase items if their property is sold, White said. But Prince George’s County Del. Dereck E. Davis (D-Dist. 25) of Upper Marlboro, chairman of the Economic Matters Committee and the bill’s lead sponsor, said the bill is just about advertising, and that moving from printed notices to online notices was more cost-effective for the self-storage businesses. The Maryland Self Storage Association did not respond to requests for comment. Those businesses have always been able to sell the property if a renter is in default, Davis said. The issue was brought to his attention by the owner of a selfstorage business, he said. Montgomery County Del. Benjamin F. Kramer (D-Dist. 19) of Silver Spring, one of the bill’s co-sponsors, said he doubted that many people were reading printed auction notices to find out if their own property was being sold. Most people have cellphones and Internet access regardless of their economic circumstances, and may have more access to the Internet than they do to printed publications, Kramer said. Some area self-storage facilities direct callers inquiring about auctions directly to online listings. Self-storage facilities are a commonly used service for people facing financial trouble, said Kim Propeack, chief of politics and communications for Casa of Maryland, the Langley Parkbased nonprofit that advocates

for immigrants. That population includes many Casa clients, so provisions like those in the bill were troubling, Propeack said. A bill passed by the General Assembly in 2013 that allowed storage facilities to notify customers via email that they were in default of their rental agreement initially contained a provision similar to the current proposal. That provision drew objections from the MDDC Press Association, which represents

Sexual assault • 13100 block of Parkland Drive, Rockville, on Feb. 13 or 14. The subject is known to the victim. Strong-arm robbery • Wendy and Palmira lanes, Aspen Hill, at 9:08 p.m. Feb. 18. Aggravated assault • 7-Eleven, 10020 Darnestown Road, North Potomac, at 12:28 a.m. Feb. 12. • McDonalds, 15801 Frederick Road, Derwood, at 8:27 p.m. Feb. 24.

problem and come together to act as a safety net, Snyder said. The proposed new notice requirements might allow a storage facility owner to just call three acquaintances on the phone to round up three independent bidders, Snyder said. Kramer told The Gazette that he understood that public notices were part of newspapers’ revenue, and that there might be concern from newspapers that other notices, too, might start to move online. A hearing on the House version of the bill is scheduled for 1 p.m. Wednesday before the House Economic Matters Committee. The Senate version of the bill will be heard at 1 p.m. March 11 before the Senate Finance Committee.

Frustrated

TERRI HOGAN STAFF WRITER

Mary Allman of Olney has found a sense of closure and peace, after learning the identify of and meeting with the owners of the golden retriever that attacked her Maltese, causing injuries that led to the dog’s death. After seeing an article in last week’s Gazette, neighbors alerted the golden retriever’s owners, who contacted the county police’s Animal Services Division. “We have learned where Junior, the Golden Retriever who injured Renny lives, who

the owners are, their sorrow about the death of Renny and their willingness to commit to a payment plan,” Allman wrote in an email to The Gazette on Friday evening. She said the family told her that their 7-year-old dog has never displayed behavior problems. Allman learned that the teenage boy who appeared at the park and had tried to stop the attack had told his family what happened, and they drove around the neighborhood looking for Allman and Renny, to no avail. On Saturday, Allman met with the dog’s owners, whom she did not identify. “We had a pleasant and productive meeting, without lawyers or police officers,” Allman said. “Both David and his mom repeatedly said how

sorry they are for what happened.” Allman said the family is considering putting the dog down, or perhaps returning it to its breeder’s place in the country, where it would have space to run free. “On Tuesday, they must tell the Montgomery County Police Animal Services ofﬁcer what their plan is for Junior,” Allman said. “A payment plan was agreed upon and [they] gave me the ﬁrst month’s payment. We are neighbors and are happy we can resolve this matter in an agreeable manner.” The county’s animal services officer did not return phone messages seeking comment on Tuesday. At about 3:45 p.m. on Feb. 12, Allman was walking her 8-year-old dog, Renny,

near Southeast Olney Park on Buehler Road. She said that a large dog, which she thought was a golden retriever named Junior, appeared and attacked Renny. A teenage boy, who identiﬁed himself as David, showed up and told her that his dog had gotten away. Renny sustained several broken ribs, bruised lungs and multiple wounds on his back and shoulders. Despite receiving immediate care at a local veterinary ofﬁce and then at an emergency facility, Renny died Feb. 18. Allman said the veterinary bills totaled more than $7,700. thogan@gazette.net

fered by the city manager’s office, Rockville Chamber of Commerce and Rockville Economic Development Inc. It will be held from 8 to 10:30 a.m. March 18 and 25 in the mayor and council chambers at city hall. City staff will discuss the city’s demographics, planning and development services, trash and recycling for businesses, best environmental practices for businesses, safety

concerns for businesses and employees, commercial code enforcement and how to do business with the city. The organizers want to learn from the businesses what is important to them so the training can be tailored to their needs, said Hjarman Cordero, senior neighborhood resources coordinator for the city. The training can help businesses know the services the city provides and can help them learn about the importance of complying with city regulations, he said. It’s not that there’s anything specifically different about doing business in the city than in the county that businesses need to learn, said Laurie Boyer, executive director of Rockville Economic Development.

But the sessions offer a good way for city departments to make themselves familiar with businesses and give them a better idea of whom to contact when they have an issue, she said. Although the sessions are geared toward businesses, those without businesses or who are thinking of starting a business are also welcome, Cordero said. Cordero said anyone interested in participating should sign up by March 15, although walk-ins also are welcome. Registration is at rockvillechamber.org.

Teens help elders solve their cyber mysteries Potomac ‘café’ focuses on using high-tech devices n

RYAN MARSHALL STAFF WRITER

Most of us have probably been ﬂummoxed by technology at some point. And for many, the solution probably involved handing a device to someone younger and asking, “How do I do that?” Now, AARP is bringing young and old together to help remove some of the mystery of the tech devices that have become more and more central to many Americans’ daily lives. On March 15 in Potomac, older adults can get answers from teenage volunteers on how to use their various devices at an Intergenerational Tech Café.

A similar event in December drew 67 seniors and 42 teens, said AARP’s Lisa Charnoff, who’s helping organize the event. The event provided one-on-one sessions to help the adults do whatever they wanted with the technology they had, she said. Those who wanted to learn to use Twitter, for example, were paired with a teen who was ﬂuent in the social media program. If they wanted to better use their iPhone, they were paired with someone who could teach them. According to the Pew Research Center, as of January 2014, 58 percent of American adults had a smartphone — including 49 percent of those 50 to 64 and 19 percent of those 65 or older — while 42 percent had a tablet computer and 32 percent had an ereader. But many older people are challenged by the language of technology, said Tresa Bal-

lard of AARP. Helping them understand something such as a hashtag and what it does can help them use their technology much better. It’s intuitive for teens to ﬁgure out how to do what they want with technology, because they’ve grown up in a world that features it, Charnoff said. It’s not so intuitive for older people who haven’t grown up with that technology, she said. The tech café will be held from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. March 15 at Beth Sholom Congregation, 11825 Seven Locks Road, Potomac. Adults can register at bit.ly/Cafe-RSVP, while students can register to participate at bit.ly/Cafe-Vol.

A second alarm was called, bringing about 100 fire and rescue personnel to the scene. They had to contend with cold weather issues, including ice and frozen fire hydrants.

hospital several hours later, Washington returned to her home to find what she describes as a “total loss.” “I saw devastation,” she said. “They pulled down every ceiling in the entire house.” In their preliminary investigation, officials determined that the fire appears to have been accidental, having started in the attic over the fireplace. The cause was probably a faulty chimney flue. Washington said she had a fire in the wood-burning fireplace the night before, as she often does. She initially thought a smoldering log caused the smoke. The fire was not the only misfortune Washington has had to deal with. Washington, known as “Aunt Hattie,” is the founder and president of Aunt Hattie’s Place, a nonprofit residential facility since 1997 for male teens with special educational needs who have been abused, abandoned or otherwise neglected. Washington inherited her home from Robert H. Hill, the first black man to sit on the board of Sandy

her Rock ’n’ Roll audition. “She’s a great kid,” Evans said. “The song is extremely well put together and thought out. It has a good hook and melody, and she presents it very well.” Deerin plans to perform her song in the show, and also performs in four other numbers. While it’s not the first original song to be performed at the show, she said hers is the first to have been professionally recorded. “The band had to listen to the recording and figure out how to re-create it,” she said. Deerin said she is excited for this year’s show. “I like this year’s show because there are a lot more popular songs that I recognize,” she said. “That makes the show more interesting,

Spring Bank. He was a self-made man known for his generosity to the community, she said. Hill bequeathed his rambler and ﬁve-car garage to Washington with the intention that she use it to build a home for disadvantaged children. At the time, she she was operating two group homes in Baltimore and Randallstown. Aunt Hattie’s Place in Sandy Spring was completed in 2010, costing about $3 million. The eight-bedroom group home is attached to Washington’s house. The group home housed up to eight boys, ages 12 to 19.

‘State-of-the-art facility’ “It was a state-of-the-art facility with green features, handicapped accessible, a swimming pool and tennis court,” Washington said. “It was built the way a group home should be built. If those boys had to live in a group home, I wanted them to be proud that they lived here, and they were.” However, in 2013, the state’s De-

but also a bigger challenge. High schoolers have to live up to the expectations that come along with those songs. I think we’ve done a great job with that.” Deerin also is one of three ﬁnalists competing this weekend for $2,500 in the Young Songwriter category of the Bernard/Ebb Songwriting Awards in Bethesda. She won’t perform at the opening night of Rock ’n’ Roll, as she will sing with the competition ﬁnalists at 8 p.m. Friday at Bethesda Blues & Jazz Supper Club, at 7719 Wisconsin Ave. Tickets for that show are available at bethesda.org. Patrons at Friday’s Rock ’n’ Roll show instead will see a video of Deerin performing “Puzzles.” Evans said he is always impressed by the students who step up to make the show a success. Sophomore Rachel Hack-

partment of Human Resources failed to renew its contract with the home. The boys were sent elsewhere, and the group home has remained vacant. Since Washington had put her own home up as collateral, the entire property, including both houses, is up for sale. “Sandy Spring Bank has bent over backwards and has been very patient with us,” she said. “We are just waiting for a buyer.” Washington said she walked through the boys home every two or three days to check on things. On Feb. 20, just one week before the ﬁre, she entered the group home to ﬁnd water rushing down the steps. “We had winterized it, so all the water had been turned off except for the sprinkler system, which we had to leave on for insurance reasons,” she said. “Those pipes burst, and the group home was basically destroyed. It looked like Niagara Falls, but frozen.” Despite all this, she said that if she had the chance to do it again, she wouldn’t think twice.

ett came up with this year’s theme, “Dancing in the Street.” It is the opening song, and she is singing it in the show. The theme is appropriate, as the show features dancing of all kinds, including two modern ballet numbers. Juniors Helena Zagami and Haleigh Chester are both student directors. “They’ve taken a lot of responsibility, in terms of stage direction and placement of the students, without any guidance,” Evans said. Rock ’n’ Roll No. 44 will be performed Friday through Sunday and March 13-15 in the school’s Ertzman Theater. Friday and Saturday performances are at 7:30 p.m.; the Sunday shows start at 2 p.m. A limited number of tickets, from $10 to $20, are available at ShowTix4U.com. thogan@gazette.net

“I will give whatever I can to help someone else,” she said. “Love knows no kinship.” The Randallstown home also lost its state contract. With only one group home remaining, Washington has focused her energies on writing a book, “Driven To Success — An Inspirational Memoir of Lessons Learned through Faith, Family and Favor.” For now, she is staying with her daughter and said the next step would be to deal with the insurance company. “I just need to see what this all means, where we are, and what we do next,” Washington said. She feels blessed to have been awakened by the smoke detector. “I recommend everyone check their batteries in their smoke detector,” Washington said. “I did that religiously, every time we changed the clocks. That saved my life, in addition to my good Lord. There must be more work that the Lord has for me to do.” thogan@gazette.net

EXPERIMENT

Continued from Page A-1 election, and will see how it goes and what the public response is, said Lois Neuman, chairwoman of the city’s Board of Supervisors of Elections. The equipment has been used in Virginia for three elections, and representatives from the county and city have gone to several jurisdictions in Virginia to learn about the equipment and talk about best practices, she said. The Virginia officials with whom they’ve spoken have told them there have been only a few glitches, and they were easily resolved, she said. “It’s not new equipment,” Neuman said. “It’s new to Maryland.” The new machines are supposed to be available in March, and Neuman said Rockville voters will have an opportunity to learn about them and try them out before the election. Voters will use the new machines in one of two ways: Most voters will sign in and receive a paper ballot and use a pen to ﬁll in ovals next to their selected candidates’ names, Neuman said. Others, especially visually im-

paired voters who have trouble reading the paper ballot, will use a touch screen to mark the ballots. The machine will then spit out the ballot with the voter’s selections. Both types of ballots will be fed into the scanner, albeit through different trays to accommodate the different sizes. Neuman said elections officials are still figuring out the logistics, with county officials helping out. “It’s all in the talking stage,” she said. But one thing is just about certain, Neuman said: The new system will produce results more quickly than the current system. In recent elections, frustrated election officials, voters and candidates in the county have waited until the wee hours of the next day to get at least unofficial vote totals. The General Assembly changed the law in 2007 to require a paper-based system, Charlson said. Such a system creates a paper trail, in case one is needed in a disputed contest. But it wasn’t until fiscal 2013 or ’14 that money was allocated for the switch, she said. Implementing a new supply of voting machines is a “huge, huge effort,” she said. rmarshall@gazette.net

BUS

Continued from Page A-1 in Laytonsville. Council staff said those sites haven’t been studied, although some limitations are already known. Some council members said Feb. 10 that they didn’t want the school district to use a site that holds a school, referring to the Ewing center location that holds alternative education programs. James Song, director of the school system’s Department of Facilities Management, said that the school board hasn’t responded to the two possible long-term solutions mentioned alongside the Ewing center in the Feb. 10 meeting. The district would study other sites, but needs money to do so, he said. If the depot would move to the Ewing site, Song said, it could ﬁt 370 of the 410 buses that need to be relocated. The district hasn’t studied the property. For the possible short-term solution, Song said, the district could lease private commercial property for the other 130 buses in the plan. As ofﬁcials consider options, the council is considering how land east of the service park — where the depot now sits — will pass from the county to developers LCOR and NVR. The council will hold a public hearing March 17 on the disposition of that land. On March 30, the council’s Government Operations and Fiscal Policy Committee and Education Committee will discuss it. Down the road, the council will vote on a declaration of no further need for the property, which, if approved, would authorize the county executive to dispose of the land. In a Feb. 23 letter to Leggett, Council President George Leventhal outlined council questions and comments related to the disposition. Some council members were concerned about the proposed January 2017 sale date, “given that neither a short-term nor long-term relocation plan for the bus depot has been fully developed,” the letter says.

The letter asks about potential depot sites that developers offered when responding to a county request for development proposals for the service park’s eastern side, now called Jeremiah Park. Greg Ossont, deputy director of the county’s Department of General Services, said developers pitched ideas in their proposals, but “none of them offered us a panacea.” Developers under consideration could increase their bid in lieu of offering both money and land for the depot, he said. Elrich, however, said it’s “absolutely clear” that the development proposal request had a requirement that a developer find a solution for moving the depot. “I guess I’m curious as to why we didn’t hold them to the terms of the deal,” he said. The request said the bus depot now fills 35 acres, but “developers may not need to identify the same total number of acres and the county will consider multiple sites of fewer acres.” A developer wouldn’t be expected to design or construct facilities on a new site, the request says. Ossont said the language was meant to help developers offer more viable proposals for relocating the bus depot, but it wasn’t an obligation. Elrich said the county should adjust the sale date, so developers don’t get the land until it finds a depot solution. Song said the school board is concerned that the district hasn’t confirmed a place to park buses. “We’re asking [the] County Council and [the] county executive to strongly consider finding out solutions before the land is disposed but we certainly understand the county’s contractual obligations as well,” Song said. Council Vice President Nancy Floreen said the school system is responsible for finding a new site and has been “avoiding” the relocation issue. “They just haven’t faced up to their needs,” she said. “This has been a long time brewing for them anyways.” lpowers@gazette.net

OUROPINIONS

“Montgomery County is a liberal and forward-thinking county,” Odessa Shannon, a longtime county resident, told the County Council last week. Shannon was one of a handful of older black residents who spoke of their experiences growing up and living through not-so-long-ago decades of segregation and overt discrimination. It was part of the council’s 90-minute session marking Black History Month in February. However, added Shannon, a member of the county school board in the early ’80s: “We have a long way to go.” That observation was echoed

Painful legacy lives on

recently by a six-minute video produced by a group of minority teens at Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School, which is in what STUDENTS’ many of its VIDEO SHOWS residents consider BIGOTRY IS the most STILL WITH US liberal, forwardthinking part of Montgomery County. In the video, called “I, Too, Am B-CC,” students eloquently tell of hurtful comments directed their way by peers, including well-meaning friends:

“You’re very smart for a black kid.” “You’re very pretty for a black girl.” “You’re the whitest black person I know.” The students were inspired by a video called “I, Too, Am Harvard” that challenged stereotypes of minority students at the Ivy League university. “Most students at B-CC don’t necessarily see this problem, are not directly affected by it,” senior Makdes Hailu, who is black and produced the video, told The Gazette. In recent months, race relations have erupted again into the

nation’s consciousness. Events in Ferguson, Mo.; Staten Island, N.Y.; and elsewhere have been a harsh reminder that while some may think the United States became a postracial society after President Barack Obama’s election in 2008, the sting of bigotry is still felt regularly by many Americans. That includes black, biracial and Hispanic students at Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School. It’s no coincidence that such a poignant video was made by Montgomery County high schoolers. As Shannon told the council, she decided decades ago to move with her children from Washington, D.C., to the county for its high-quality

schools. “Education was the most important thing in our lives,” said Shannon, who added that she was the only black member of her class at Smith College in Northampton, Mass. “It was the only way out.” Hailu and other students who worked on the video created a powerful piece — available at tinyurl. com/npg23uj — that drives home their painful points. Anyone concerned about race relations in our society and community — or who can just appreciate what a small group of insightful students can create with a simple camera — should check it out.

LETTERS TOT HE EDITOR

Pesticide ban ignores progress and innovation

County Councilman George Leventhal’s proposed ban on pesticide use for public and private property takes away products rigorously tested and approved by the Environmental Protection Agency from professionals and homeowners. The ban is based on fear, not science, and ignores the benefit of reliable weed, insect and disease controls for our community. As former sports field manager for Montgomery County’s acclaimed Maryland SoccerPlex and a current worldwide educator on turfgrass management, my work is focused on creating better turfgrass at all levels. Progress is made daily toward creating solutions to improve local fields. This proposed ban ignores this progress. It ignores innovation of product technology. And it removes many tools used to make fields and lawns better while reducing environmental impact — tools that remove weeds, reduce mowing and reduce irrigation; tools that keep turfgrass strong and healthy; tools tested and approved by the EPA. This ban also fails to consider integrated pest management already practiced by licensed, professional lawn-care operators and turfgrass managers. It uses pesticide minimally to treat specific threats to healthy outdoor spaces. Let’s not ignore the benefits of EPA-tested and approved pesticides because of misinformation. Ask your council representative to vote no on Bill 52-14. Jerad Minnick, Rockville The writer is the president and founder of Growing Innovations in Rockville.

Pesticide vapors affect people with asthma Pesticides are harmful to people. I am glad some of our lawmakers are starting to think about people’s health with Healthy Lawns Bill 52-14. My little sister and I have asthma. My sister has been admitted to the hospital a couple of times for this. We try very hard to avoid things, like pesticides, that can cause us to have asthma attacks. Our doctor ﬁlled out a sheet to include us on Maryland’s pesticide sensitivity list. Lawn companies are supposed to call my parents before they spray pesticides on my neighbors’ yards. On those days, we have to stay inside the whole day, and maybe longer, if we can still smell the pesticide vapors. But being on the list doesn’t really protect me or my family. In my community, lawn pesticides are used a lot. From March to November, whenever we step outside, we worry about breathing in pesticide vapors that drift around in the air, or playing at places that have pesticides put on them. When I used to go to elementary school, many times the nearby neighborhood would spray lots of pesticides near our school. We could smell the vapors when we were on school grounds. Last fall, when it happened, my sister and I got asthma for over a week. Kids like me would like to go out to play, exercise and go to school, without having to worry about getting sick from breathing pesticides. I hope more people will ask lawmakers to pass a strong Bill 52-14. A strong bill would ﬁnally protect what’s important — our health. Kate Tan, 12, Germantown

Chemical debate

Council shouldn’t infringe on farmers’ investments As president of Montgomery County Farm Bureau, I would like to respond to Michael Tabor’s letter (“Farm Bureau should sit out pesticide debate,” Feb. 4). Just who is Mr. Tabor? He prides himself as an organic farmer, using sustainable farming practices. He claims to produce food on a farm in Pennsylvania without using chemicals. Really. Such claims may sound progressive, but are simply untrue. Without chemicals, there is no life. Water and soil are comprised of chemicals. Mr. Tabor is quick to advance his values, while denouncing the values of others. It takes a lot of nerve to suggest that MCFB, whose membership represents more than 3,500 families, should be silent. Mr. Tabor, I remind you that every American has the constitutional right to freedom of speech. Let me be ﬁrm: MCFB will not sit this one out. We believe Bill 52-14 is a big mistake and should be withdrawn by its sponsor, Mr. Leventhal. We view this bill as unenforceable, and if adopted, in violation of state law and federal law. Farmers, lawn-care providers and consumers who use pesticides do exercise caution and common sense. They don’t need to be denied the right to use a certain product, nor do they need to consult with someone in Rockville about a permit, special exception or a determination of essentiality. The EPA-approved product labels advise users of necessary directions for use and precautions.

2011 FILE PHOTO

A Chevy Chase resident opposed to pesticide spraying in her neighborhood put up this sign.

There are dozens of reasons why MCFB opposes Bill 52-14. One of the main reasons was stated by Mr. Tabor: “It is true that the potential harms of many pesticides used today cannot be deﬁnitively substantiated.” The absence of harm is reason enough for MCFB to join others in the very serious effort to stop Mr. Leventhal’s goal to create what we

believe is an unnecessary layer of regulation. We should not create expensive regulations based on philosophies of a small minority of citizens. When councilmen and councilwomen advance the interests of the minority and refuse to listen to the will of the majority, conﬁdence in government is lost. MCFB believes Bill 52-14 throws our lawn applicators under the bus without good cause. These experts are knowledgeable about the products available to them to achieve the intended results that homeowners request. Farmers feel a kinship to those who tend to the land, lawns and plants. MCFB seeks to represent all aspects of agricultural practices. We support each farmer’s choice to manage their business in a manner that ﬁts their objectives. Montgomery County farmers fear this bill will provide the framework for future council actions that would interfere with farm business plans, and potentially result in the demise of their family farms. Our farmers have huge investments in land, buildings, machinery and human capital. They want their children and grandchildren to have opportunities to assume ownership of the family business. Mr. Tabor should pursue his dreams, but he should not dream for the rest of us.

Trust pediatric group, not lobbyists, on pesticide dangers The recent letters to the editor from the two Girl Scouts promoting pesticide-free lawns (“Gardeners don’t have to use chemical pesticides,” “The queen’s garden can be a model for natural practices,” Feb. 4) were truly inspiring. We teach our young people to take care of their health and the environment, yet as adults we fail to follow through and provide even safe lawns and playing ﬁelds for them. Councilman George Leventhal’s proposed Bill 52-14 would correct this oversight. The Montgomery County Council has passed other acts to protect human and environmental health — the most recent polystyrene ban, for example. The Centers for Disease Control

and Prevention just reported the success of smoking bans in signiﬁcantly reducing our exposure to secondhand smoke — another issue on which our County Council showed leadership. We are all exposed to lawn pesticides, whether we choose to use them or not. They drift, are tracked into our homes on our shoes and pets’ paws (2,4-D can stay in carpets for up to a year), and run off into our waterways. Bill 52-14 would restrict the “nonessential” (or cosmetic) use of lawn pesticides because the risks of a “perfect” lawn are not worth the beneﬁts. The pesticide and turfgrass lobbyists are deliberately exaggerating the scope and intent of the bill: agriculture, golf courses and invasive weeds, for example, are all exempt (and this

law has absolutely nothing to do with indoor pest control). There are safer alternatives, and grub infestations have not taken over Ontario, Canada, which passed a far more sweeping ban almost a decade ago. Our State House grounds in Annapolis have been pesticide-free for two years. Our kids should be able to practice and play sports on safe lawns — without pesticides or artiﬁcial turf — just simple grass on which many of us adults used to play. The opposition’s argument that kids will trip on weeds and get concussions is simply nonsense. What isn’t nonsense are the peer-reviewed studies that suggest

a link between commonly used lawn pesticides like 2,4-D, dicamba, and glyphosate to cancers (human and animal), Parkinson’s, autism, endocrine disruption, etc. I choose to believe the American Academy of Pediatrics that warns us to keep children from contact with cosmetic lawn pesticides, not the lobbying groups and industries that profit from their sale. I urge the council, as stewards of public health, to support a strong Bill 52-14. Julie Taddeo, Takoma Park The writer is a member of Safe Grow Montgomery, a coalition that favors limiting exposure to lawn pesticides.

Exposure to lawn pesticides carries dangers As parents, we fear for our children’s safety in many ways, whether it’s walking to school, letting our teenagers drive for the ﬁrst time, or exposure to violent content on the Internet. Another concern for parents is keeping our children safe from disease and illness. A countywide conversation has started that could mean a healthier future for our children. It’s about restricting the use of cosmetic, or “non-essential,” lawn pesticides that are extremely toxic to humans. What is particularly disturbing is that we know children are highly susceptible to pesticide toxicity. Evidence shows clear links between early-life exposure to pesticides and pediatric cancers, decreased cognitive function and behavioral problems. A meta-analysis of recent epidemiological studies indicates

a 50 percent increase in childhood leukemia risk following routine maternal pesticide use in the home or garden. Children are also especially vulnerable because their daily activities increase their exposure. They spend more time playing outside on freshly sprayed lawns, playgrounds or sports ﬁelds. Children also breathe more rapidly than adults and are more likely to put contaminated hands in their mouths. Furthermore, children’s brains, nervous systems and organs, including the liver and kidneys, are still developing after birth. Exposure to lawn pesticides during this sensitive period of development can lead to irreversible damage. Women’s exposure to lawn pesticides during pregnancy can cause harm to the fetus and can be spread to infants during

breastfeeding. It’s no surprise that the American Academy of Pediatrics argues against such practices. The good news is that the detrimental health effects due to pesticide exposure are completely preventable. The simple solution: Eliminate the exposure via regulation. In fact, pesticide regulation in other U.S. states and municipalities, including the provinces of Quebec and Ontario, Canada, has successfully reduced exposures among these populations without negatively affecting the lawn care industry. Unanimous support in the County Council for this bill should be a no-brainer, to use an unscientiﬁc term. Since the 1950s, we have seen a dramatic increase in the use of toxic pesticides on our lawns. Despite the overwhelming scientiﬁc evidence about the dangers

of these pesticides, we have a ﬁght on our hands. The chemical companies are powerful and strongly resist efforts to restrict the use of its products. So as we approach the spring, the County Council will face a choice — should it side with the chemical companies or should it side with the health and well-being of our children in Montgomery County? This common sense bill would target only the most dangerous pesticides and leave Montgomery County residents with many safe alternatives. Stephanie L. Fowler, Washington, D.C.

Almost champions

It’s time for winter to go I used to love the snow. It meant days off from school, sledding, snowball fights, hot KENT ZAKOUR chocolate, ASSISTANT SPORTS grilled EDITOR cheese sandwiches and tomato soup. Now, I just count the days until daylight savings time resumes. Winter is just a nuisance and inconvenience — dealing with school cancellations and staffing rescheduled games can be a major headache — and each successive year it seems to get more annoying. I long for the hot, humid and mosquitofilled days of July and August (I will probably complain about the weather then, too). But with snow, ice and temperatures in the 20s on Saturday, thousands of student-athletes throughout Maryland began trying out for spring sports. A quick glance through Twitter revealed that the majority of teams held indoor practices or delayed tryouts. Lacrosse, baseball, softball, tennis, golf and track don’t lend themselves traditionally as indoor sports. They, for the most part, are designed to be played on grass under the blue skies and the golden sun. “It’s a huge hindrance and puts us at a disadvantage,” Damascus girls lacrosse coach Marcus Jurado said. “It is tough to get anything accomplished other than conditioning. “I’m not sure when we will be able to get outside even when we get the snow off the field. Maybe next week?” Teams may not even be able to have — or delay — accurate cuts. “We have several kids on the bubble and you can’t find out anything in the gym,” Jurado said. “It’s going to be a lot of blind guesses until we get outside and into gamelike conditions.” While most teams are in the same position and will likely lag behind their expected routine due to muddy fields, a few schools — mainly those with artificial turf — may enjoy the luxury of getting outside sooner (there’s no guarantee it will happen). In Montgomery and Prince George’s counties Walter Johnson, Gaithersburg, Paint Branch, Wootton, Richard Montgomery and Oxon Hill are the public high schools with turf. When the D.C. Sniper terrorized the region in the fall of 2002, I remember having to practice football inside the gym — sometimes in full pads — for several weeks. It flat out stunk and was hard to focus. I imagine it is no different now for athletes used to playing outside. But the weather, as it always does, will eventually improve. In the coming weeks, The Gazette is scheduled to begin profiling student-athletes and teams with our spring previews. Jennifer Beekman is covering softball and gymnastics, Eric Goldwein is handling lacrosse and tennis, Prince J. Grimes will cover baseball and volleyball and Adam Gutekunst will be our go-to guy for track and field and golf.

n Girls basketball: Falcons fall to Paul VI in WCAC ﬁnals BY

ERIC GOLDWEIN STAFF WRITER

The Good Counsel High School girls basketball team never stood a chance in its two regular season meetings against Paul VI. In the ﬁrst one — a game that senior Nicole Enabosi and sophomore Lindsey Pulliam had the ﬂu — the Falcons went down 30-14 at halftime and lost 58-24. Though they were healthy in the second one, the result, a 62-34 loss, was more of the same. But a different Good Counsel team (20-10) showed up to Thursday’s Washington Catholic Athletic Conference championship, one that hung in the game and even held a brief lead over the Fairfax school midway through the fourth quarter. Playing against the nationally ranked Panthers (30-2) — undefeated in the WCAC — the Falcons put together one of their best games of the season in a 49-47 loss at American University’s Bender Arena in Washington, D.C.. “We knew how much we wanted this and I think that’s why we played so much better,” Enabosi said. Pulliam had a teamhigh 14 points while Enabosi, a University of Delaware recruit playing in her third WCAC title game in four years, added 11. The Olney school was tasked with defending 6-foot-4 senior center Jonquanae Cole, and it was effective doing so for most of the game. Good Counsel sophomores Cara Judkins (6-2) and Breonna Mayfield (6-4) each spent time guarding the North Carolina State recruit, while Enabosi and Pulliam carried the scoring load. “Our defense really kind of helped us stay so close to them,” Enabosi said.

Sherwood wrestler’s wait ends Damascus, county’s top grapplers head to state meet

PRINCE J. GRIMES STAFF WRITER

Two years ago, Sherwood High School wrestler Andrew Frumkin placed fourth at the 4A/3A West Region tournament to garner a spot at states the following week. But in doing so, he injured his hand and was unable to participate in the big event. Last year, he missed the cut by one match with a fifth-place finish. On Saturday, in his home gym in Sandy Spring, the 106-pounder didn’t cut it close at all, winning the region championship to clinch a No. 1 seed in the state tournament, scheduled to start Friday at Cole Field House in College Park. The top 4 wrestlers from each weight class advance to states. “It feels absolutely amazing,” Frumkin said. “I finally get a solid, significant thing that shows how much effort I put into the offseason all these years. I finally have something to show for it.” Frumkin was one of 11 wrestlers to win a region championship on Friday after winning a county title on Tuesday. Northwest’s Dell Ngonga (113) and TJ Patterson (220), Walter Johnson’s Logan Wilson (126), Churchill’s Giulian Groce (182), and Damascus’ Scott Obendorfer (120), Michael Wilkerson (132), Cory Obendorfer (138), Colin McLaughlin (152), Johnny Fischer (160), and Owen Brook (170) also won consecutive titles. The region championship was basically a clone of the county championship — with fewer participants, and without

Churchill ices another 2A state title in dominant fashion Bulldogs end stellar season with few challengers n

BY PRINCE J. GRIMES STAFF WRITER

When kids go to play ice hockey for the Churchill High School club team, they likely know they’re going to have a shot at winning a state champi-

onship. On Friday, Churchill won that title for the fourth time in the past decade, second in three years, and did so in one of the most dominating seasons in Maryland Student Hockey League history. “I don’t know if there’s any team that’s ever been better in MSHL history. I don’t think there’s ever been a championship game 10-0. Not to brag, but I think we proved that we’re the

best,” senior Jacob Arden said following the 10-0 win over Marriotts Ridge. He’s right. The next biggest winning margin in a title game was in 2004 when Sherwood defeated Paint Branch, 7-0. Including playoff games and non-conference games, Churchill scored a total of 162 goals while allowing just 22 in 21 games this season. That’s a ratio of 7.7 to 1. There have been teams in

the past with similar ratios and/ or undefeated league records, including Wootton’s championship team of last season and past Churchill teams, but what sets this year’s team apart is how it not only conquered the public school realm but also the private schools on its schedule. Churchill won five of six games against private schools with its only loss of the season — to Gonzaga — coming in November. The contest was

the ﬁrst game of the season after the death of Gonzaga senior DominikPettey.AlthoughPettey was a member of the opposite team, it was an emotional game for all involved, as many of the Churchill players were friends. “That game was just a mess because our guys all went to school with Dominik and played hockey with him. Their guys obviously went to school

CHURCHILL

2A school Poolesville — and as it did at the county championship, Damascus won in record-setting fashion. On Tuesday, Damascus set the county’s individual champions mark with seven wrestlers from one school winning. On Saturday, the Hornets set the region mark with six individual champions. “It’s just something you work for at the beginning of the year,” McLauglin said of winning the region tournament. “It’s always in the back of your mind, but you don’t really see it until you get to the tournament.” Cory Obendorfer, who won by forfeit, said getting the first seed is nice, but the best wrestler will find a way to win at states either way. “No. 1 seed, it’s nice to have but it’s not always necessary because to win it you got to be the best anyways. ... It definitely makes the path a little easier.” Damascus’ new record might have been set at seven, but in the 113 match, Mikey Maklin was penalized a point for what the referee determined was stalling, just before the final period ended. The match went into overtime, and Ngonga scored a takedown for the win as time expired. “I don’t think you make that call, one second left and he’s defending himself,” Damascus coach John Ferguson said. The Hornets will have 11 wrestlers compete for state championships. “We got one more fish to fry, and these guys are setting themselves up in good position. So, hope-

with him,” said Churchill coach Ray McKenzie, who had coached Pettey before and is close with the family. “They jumped out on us 3-0 in the first couple periods. We scored two [goals] late ... but everyone just wanted to get it over with.” Outside of that game, Churchill’s record is flawless with 20 wins, including victories over Mid-Atlantic Prep Hockey League teams DeMatha, Landon and Georgetown Prep, among others. The captain of this talented group of players was senior Ross Allen, who, along with Justin Vagonis played leader, Arden said. “They stepped in and they led the team. I was just there to screw around,” Arden said. “We really have good team chemistry from practicing and working hard,” Allen said. “Everyone has played a two-way game.” The Churchill geographical region is littered with some of the state’s top hockey talent, so a team such as the one they put on the ice this season isn’t necessarily carefully constructed — rather it comes together by luck, McKenzie said. “We’re no better than any other school. We just have more kids that are good hockey players,” McKenzie said. “You rarely get a team that has great goaltending, five really solid [defensemen], three lines you can run with, and then great students. Our GPA this year was, I think, 3.7 combined, I think. So, no hiccups this year.” Once assembled, getting that talent to perform up to the level they did all year required hard work and dedication. McKenzie said they might’ve only missed a couple practices this year — relentless practices he admitted — and those took place at 5:30 a.m.

Continued from Page B-1 upset didn’t come out of nowhere. The Olney school has been playing better of late, winning its previous six WCAC games, including Monday’s 8363 victory over Seton. “You don’t ﬂip a light switch. That was a process the last couple weeks, we’re just chipping away at it one day at a time,” Falcons 14th-year coach Tom Splaine said. “... They earned the conﬁdence back, and that’s

fully we can come out strong again next weekend, let the chips fall where they may on that one.” Walter Johnson, Northwest, B-CC, and Wootton rounded out the top 5. Sherwood was sixth, and Frumkin wasn’t the only home team wrestler to win ﬁrst place. At 285, Charlie Siarkas earned a 1-0 decision over Blair’s Marcus Forrester. “I felt like I had a little disadvantage [at the county tournament] because not everybody from my team was here to support, but since we

the key thing. I can show conﬁdence, I can’t give conﬁdence to people. They have to earn that.” The Falcons nearly made it seven straight wins. They led 4341 with less than four minutes remaining, and if not for a poor foul shooting night down the stretch, they might’ve pulled off the upset. But Cole and the Panthers proved to be too much for Good Counsel. Cole controlled the paint and had 16 points, none more important than her go-ahead bucket that gave Paul VI the 45-43 lead. Good Counsel had several chances to tie, and

knocked off county champion Brendan Parent of Damascus. “It’s unbelievable,” Fenton said of being able to come back and compete at a high level so quickly. Suffering from illness, Fenton was unable to practice until the day before counties, but with enough points to qualify for the region tournament and still feeling less than 100 percent, he chose not to participate in the county tournament. “It’s one of the best feeling’s in the world. I love it.” pgrimes@gazette.net

came within one possession when Pulliam hit a 3-pointer with .8 seconds remaining. But it was too little too late, as Paul VI successfully inbounded the ball and avoided the upset. “This does rank as one of my best games. It was my last championship,” Enabosi said. “It’s just something that I’ll remember forever. Unfortunately I can’t remember it as a win but it’s still a game that will forever stick in my mind.” egoldwein@gazette.net

BY JENNIFER BEEKMAN STAFF WRITER

The Rockville High School swim team is not known for being one of Montgomery County’s strongest. But at Friday’s Class 3A/2A/1A state meet, which was swept by Poolesville for the second time in three years, the Rams accounted for two of the six total multiple individual event winners. Junior Griffin Alaniz’s wins in the 200-yard individual medley and 100-yard backstroke and sophomore Alexa Stewart’s victories in the 100-yard butterfly and 500-yard freestyle brought attention to a program that often gets lost in the shuffle of bigger and more competitive programs. With their single wins a year ago, both of Rockville’s stars have now won three of their last four individual races in state competition. That’s what makes the Class 3A/2A/1A championship meet special, Poolesville coach Jonny Leong and Rockville coach James Castonguay said. While top swimmers from every school do relish the opportunity to compete against the Washington, D.C. area’s best at meets like the Washington Metropolitan Interscholastic Swimming and Diving Championships, held earlier this month, Alaniz and Stewart said, Friday was a rare opportunity for the county’s smaller programs to compete as overall teams on a more level playing field. “Rockville is a small school, we’re in the middle of the county but we don’t have many kids,” Castonguay said. “When we go to Metros there are the private schools and the big 4A schools, [the smaller schools] pull from a smaller pool of kids. It’s nice to see what [the kids] can do when we’re against equivalent programs.” Poolesville, which technically has the county’s secondlowest enrollment but is in a unique position since its mag-

The Falcon boys clinched their fourth consecutive state title with a 317.5181 advantage over Damascus, the county’s smallest school per enrollment numbers. Harford County’s C. Milton Wright ﬁnished third with 164 points and Seneca Valley (138 points) and Rockville (129) claimed fourth and fifth. Poolesville remains undefeated in county competition — Montgomery County schools only began participating in the state meet in 2012. Poolesville’s girls, who senior Lindsay Knapp, a winner in the 50-yard freestyle Friday, said had been eyeing Friday’s championship since coming up just short a year ago, won 386-181 over Talbot County’s Easton. It was the Falcons’ second title in three years and therefore also the program’s second sweep in that time. Frederick County’s Urbana ﬁnished third in the girls competition with 163 points and C. Milton Wright and Worcester County’s Stephen Decatur rounded out the top 5. Other Montgomery County teams to finish in the top 10 were the Damascus girls (seventh) and Seneca Valley girls (10th).

“The great thing with this boys team is we just have a really great, talented and deep team and we’re able to use their strengths and we’ve just kind of been on a roll,” Leong said. “With the girls, we talked about what events hurt us last year and we had a couple freshmen come in and help us in those events.” The Falcon boys and girls took two completely different paths to Friday’s titles. While the girls won eight of 11 races, including all three relays, which are worth more points, Poolesville’s boys only won two — both relays. Many of the Falcon girls, Leong said, ﬁnished above their projected seedings. Senior Dorit Song and (100 freestyle, 200 freestyle) and freshman Katarina Lechner (200 individual medley, 100 backstroke) won two events apiece for the Falcons. Friday marked Song’s fourth consecutive 100 freestyle state title. Damascus junior Ryan O’Leary was Montgomery’s only other individual winner Friday, successfully defending his 2014 title in the 100 breaststroke. “The cool thing about having all the small schools together is you don’t have to go up against [the programs] that have a lot more students than we do,”

niors it’s been their resolve from day one the focus on having a fantastic season to get everyone ﬁred up [to go for the title].”

KIRSTY GROFF STAFF WRITER

Community members planning on coming to the Upright Citizens Brigade’s comedy shows at BlackRock Center for the Arts this weekend should have no idea what to expect during the night — because the performers don’t, either. UCB focuses on improvisational comedy, showcased in the touring company’s two performances along with an improv workshop. Unlike scripted comedy, improv is actions made up on the spot, typically through a prompt of some kind. The UCB Touring Company uses an interview with an audience member at the beginning of the show to create ideas from which to start scenes. Company member Mike Kelton, who has officially been with the group for about eight months, didn’t originally plan on focusing on improv; much like the comedy genre, his involvement began on the fly based on a situation he found himself in: losing a spot in an acting class his agent asked him to participate in. “I wasn’t one of those improv-heads before I started,” he said. “I had heard of UCB before and knew I always wanted to try, so I thought I would just quickly sign up for a class there so he wouldn’t drop me as a client. I felt guilty for not being in the other class, and then literally fell in love with it.” It was during his classes in 2011 that he got the chance to see his first true improv show — that experience hooked him, even if it made it hard to go back to class and try to even get through a simple scene confidently. “I remember watching people on stage having the best time of their life,” he said, “and I was like, I want in on *that*. Whatever *that* is, I want to make magic like that.” Kelton’s been making that magic for almost four years now, working his way through UCB’s class curriculum in two years and participating in shows and workshops. He says he became obsessed with the comedy form, working it into his schedule like some fitness buffs make time for CrossFit

Some members of the Upright Citizens Brigade Touring Company will come to BlackRock Center for the Performing Arts for improvisational comedy shows and a workshop for adults. and SoulCycle (“My body deteriorated, but my mind and heart were just ﬂourishing”). Through it all, he has been constantly both instructing and learning, as are many of his company members. “We’re all each other’s teacher,” he said. “While there are rules to comedy, you can learn from any comedian — you can pick up a trick, some of their style and embody them. No one is naturally a great improviser, it takes a million scenes and shows to even feel comfortable making things up.” There are some key elements of successful improvisation that are important for both newcomers and seasoned vets to keep in mind, such as never saying “no” to someone’s idea and actively listening to others on stage in a scene. Kelton will help impart

some of these lessons on interested attendees at the comedy workshop on Saturday. One of the more important aspects to Kelton is to not enter a scene with any expectations or concrete ideas — looseness and ﬂexibility is crucial. “The best improvisers are usually kind of a mess in real life, because they’re oblivious and have no motives,” he said. “That’s the best way to react naturally in the moment.” Thatelementofsurprise,theunexpected, is what levels the playing ﬁeld between performers relatively new to improvisation and others who have been interested their entire lives.

Just as music has its famous Bach family spanning many generations, the beer world has its own illustrious family of bocks. The grandfather of the family, traditional bock, gave birth to mai (May) bock, doppel (double) bock, and eis (ice) bock. Other offspring include weizenbock, winterbock and dunkle (dark) bock. Traditional bock beers usually first appear in March each year. Doublebocks are released around Easter while maibocks follow on May 1, often with festive celebrations. First produced in the late 14th century in the town of Einbeck, these strong beers were copied by the breweries in Munich in the early 17th century, modifying the barley/wheat grain bill to an all barley beer. The Bavarian dialect name for the Einbeck beer evolved into the word beck and then to bock. Bock beer does not come from the bottom of the fermenting vessel as the old tale is told, but is a separate, full bodied, type of lager beer. Since bock also means goat in both German and Dutch, the goat is often displayed on bock labels. It is said that a good bock has the kick of a goat. Traditional bocks are light copper to brown in color with a complex maltiness, and often some toasty or caramel flavors. They may have slight hop bitterness, but malt is the dominant flavor. Medium to full-bodied, these strong, smooth, malty lagers have alcohol by volumes (ABV)

BREWS BROTHERS STEVEN FRANK AND ARNOLD MELTZER of 6.3 to 7.2 percent. Some winter bocks have added spiciness or alcohol. Most bocks are bottom fermented lagers but some, most prominently weizenbocks, are top fermented ales. Maibocks, also called helles (bright) bock to distinguish them from the darker winter bocks, are clear and deep gold to subdued amber in hue. Maibocks have a crisp malty flavor, possibly a low spicy or peppery quality, a moderate hop (more apparent than the other bocks) and dry finish. Maibocks have 6.3 to 7.4 percent ABVs. All doublebocks stem from the original of the style called Salvator and known as “liquid bread.” It was developed by monks for consumption during their 40 day Lenten fast preceding Easter and the four week Advent fast prior to Christmas. Doublebocks are dark gold to dark brown, full-bodied with complex, deep malty sweetness and aroma, and often with intricate chocolate and dark fruit flavors. Little or no hops are evident in these very strong, rich lager with ABVs of 7 to 14 percent. Doublebocks are aged for much longer than regular lagers to develop the pronounced smoothness, mellowness and higher alcohol content. Many doppelbocks have names ending in “-ator,” as a tribute to the original Salvator now made by the Paulaner brewery. To make a more robust beer, Bavarian brewers froze a bock, removed the ice and created

BEER

Continued from Page B-4 a more concentrated version called eisbock. Legend has it that this was an accident. Now similar beers are brewed directly. Eisbocks are deep copper to dark brown in color with rich, sweet malt and sometimes caramel or chocolate flavors, balanced with significant alcohol and some dryness. There may be some dark fruit tastes and the alcohol (9 to 14 percent ABV) is smooth, not harsh, providing a clean lager taste. Troegenator (8.2 percent alcohol by volume, ABV) is brewed by the Troegs Brewery in Hershey, Pa. It has a very sweet nose with a hint of caramel. Quite smooth, the moderate sweet malt front continues into the middle. The finish adds light floral hops which slightly balance the malt and segue in the aftertaste where the malt fades and the hops and malt are in balance with an added hint of cherry. The high alcohol level is incredibly well hidden in this dangerous beer. Ratings: 8/8. Aventinus Eisbock (12 percent ABV) is made by G. Schneider and Sohn in Kelheim, Germany. The Aventinus has an aroma of alcohol and dark fruit tending to plum. The light plum and sweet malt front leads to a middle where the sweetness increases to medium with a touch of alcohol present. The sweetness ebbs in the finish as the malt brings in a toffee character. The alcohol reappears and comes to the forefront in the quite dry aftertaste. The alcohol will blend into the beer with some aging. Ratings: 8.5/8. Pikantus Weizen-Bock (7.3 percent ABV) is brewed in Erding, Germany, by the Erdinger Brewery. Pikantus has a bouquet of sweet malt, cherry, chocolate and roast. The quite light sweet front from the large volume of wheat malt in the brew presages a similar middle. The finish adds a slight roast which continues in the aftertaste which has a lingering sweet malt and a hint of floral hops. Ratings: 8/8.

Picturesque view of the world

Just a bit of Americana

Arts on the Green continues its Singer Songwriter Series, pairing workshops with performances, as it welcomes Jon Langford. On Saturday, Langford will lead a workshop at 3 p.m., then perform a concert at 7:30 p.m., both at the Arts Barn at 311 Kent Square Road in Gaithersburg. Best known for his work in the Langford The Mekons and the Waco Brothers, Langford has been a leading pioneer in the assimilation of folk/country music into punk rock since the genre’s ﬁrst evolution more than 30 years ago. Langford will perform a solo acoustic concert in the intimate, 99-seat Arts Barn, with his song choices reﬂecting his eclectic take on Americana, folk and country more than straight up punk rock. The afternoon workshop attendees have the opportunity to get to know the artist and his process as well as the performer and his completed works. The workshop promises to be a memorable chance for music students to exercise creative muscles and hear Langford’s professional perspective. A Renaissance man, the Welshborn Langford is acclaimed as both a musician and a visual artist and is presently based in Chicago. Recent accolades include having his song “What Did You Do in the War?” named one of Spin Magazine’s top-40 country songs for 2014. Tickets are $45, for the workshop and concert and $25 for the concert only. For more information, visit gaithersburgmd.gov or call 301-258-6394.

The Marin-Price Galleries in Chevy Chase is set to unveil its latest exhibit, “Earthly Delights,” by Potomac artist Deborah Brisker Burk. The exhibit will run from Saturday through to March 27, with an opening reception set for 5:30 p.m. on Saturday. Burk describes her ﬁrst solo show as her capturing of the colors of the American landscape

— the mountains, valleys and beaches — in line and shape. At the centerpiece of these works is her quest to mix representation with abstraction. Burk loves color, but also texture and form. Each work is very much alive and fresh. She has been painting since childhood and has worked in a range of media, including sculpture, printmaking, painting, and

drawing. She’s has been featured in numerous galleries, collections and exhibitions in the U.S., Israel, Canada, Russia, Egypt, and India. Burk earned her undergraduate and graduate degrees in art from George Washington University. For many years, she taught art at St.Andrew’s in Bethesda, and privately in her studio.

The power of ﬂamenco

Grammy Award-winning flamenco guitarist Hernan Romero is set to perform at the Bethesda Blues and Jazz Supper Club at 7 p.m. March 11. Recognized as one of the world’s foremost flamenco guitarists, Romero’s music is both sophisticated and accessible, spiced with the exotic traditions that infuse flamenco-gypsy, Middle Eastern and Mediterranean folk interwoven with textures of classical, jazz and Latin rhythms. Inspired by the music of his family, Romero became part of their performing ensemble by the age of 4. Romero’s mother, popular International singer Estela Raval, contributed to this by surrounding young Romero with the best of musical environments. Romero became strongly influenced by the flamenco style when his family moved to Cadiz in Andalusia, Spain; receiving classical guitar training from Roberto Lara, one of Andres Segovia’s disciples. Tickets are $15 and can be ordered online or purchased at the door. For more information, visit bethesdabluesjazz.com or call 240-330-4500.

Olney Theatre Center has extended the run of “Godspell,” until March 15. Steven Schwartz’s musical, an updated take on Jesus’ parables with a message almost anyone could get behind. Much like “Children of Eden,” Schwartz’s other Bibleinspired musical, “Godspell” is less about religion and more about the goodness PHOTO BY NICHOLAS GRINER of humanity Jason King Jones, center, directs Jordan and the imCoughtry as Jesus and Rachel Zampelli as portance of John the Baptist/Judas in the Olney Theatre taking care of Center production of “Godspell.” one another. This message is conveyed through songs representing each of Jesus’ lessons in the Bible. The genders of the “Godspell” roles traditionally aren’t played with much, and Schwartz has mentioned before that he feels theaters would have to be careful if casting a woman as Judas. However, the roles of John the Baptist/Judas in OTC’s version of the show are played by Rachel Zampelli, which provides a very interesting take on the tale. Tickets for the show are $38-$75.
