Rockville man is honored for his historical work with schoolhouse n

Family, Aspen Hill community keep memory of homicide victim alive n

PEGGY MCEWAN STAFF WRITER

Ralph Buglass has turned his passion for history into an award-winning hobby as volunteer schoolmaster at Kingsley School, a one-room schoolhouse in Little Bennett Regional Park in Clarksburg. The 60-year-old Rockville man was awarded the Agency Volunteer Award at the Maryland Recreation and Parks Association conference in Ocean City in April and was one of three people nationwide to receive the 2014 Country Schools Association of America Service Award, presented in St. Joseph, Mo., in June. Kingsley School was boarded up and unused when Buglass ﬁrst saw it while hiking about four years ago. “We walked right by the schoolhouse and I thought, ‘Wow, what a gem,’” he said. Later, on another hike, this one in Black Hill Regional Park in Boyds, he said he saw a sign seeking park volunteers and one of the offerings was to help at the Kingsley School. Buglass signed up and has worked with Montgomery Parks and the Clarksburg Historical Society to get the schoolhouse furnished as it would have been from 1893 to 1935, when it accommodated students in grades one through seven, mostly from neighboring farms. He also expanded the time the school is open to the public. It is now open from 1 to 4 p.m. the ﬁrst Sunday of the

This month, Buglass hosted three camp groups, a nature camp, an archaeology camp and an American Girl camp at the schoolhouse. It also is open every year for Clarksburg Days, usually held on a Saturday in September, Buglass said.

Montgomery County’s oneroom schoolhouses. “If you count one- and tworoom schoolhouses, there are ﬁve [left] in the county,” he said. “If you want to start counting schools that have been converted to other uses or are falling down, there are up to 25. Some of them are hardly recognizable.” Buglass, who is retired after a career in publication production, said he spends about 10 hours per week on his school-

house work, counting time at Kingsley and time conducting research. He said the most interesting part of his research has been learning the history of segregated schools in Montgomery County. Buglass said he hopes to present a talk on the history of education in Montgomery County at next year’s Country Schools Association of America conference. pmcewan@gazette.net

LINDSAY A. POWERS STAFF WRITER

A Montgomery County youth soccer organization is suing the county’s school board, claiming the board unfairly struck agreements with other groups for the use of two artificial turf fields at schools. Montgomery Soccer Inc. filed the suit July 1 in Montgomery County Circuit Court. In a July 22 letter to the County Coun-

cil, the group’s executive director, Doug Schuessler, said the school board decided which organizations would use the turf ﬁelds at Richard Montgomery High School in Rockville and Winston Churchill High School in Potomac “through a ﬂawed and unlawful process.” The board, the letter said, did not consider the different submissions but rather approved a recommendation and did not share how the submissions were evaluated based on a point system. In addition to the lawsuit, the organization appealed to the state Board of Education, according to the letter.

After 39 years, Pat Haberman still has nightmares about the night her daughter didn’t come home. On July 24, 1975, Kathy Beatty, 15, left a note for her mother she was going to a party down the street Beatty and left her Aspen Hill home. When Haberman got home, she found the note and assumed Kathy hadn’t come home because of a strong thunderstorm that had moved through the area that night. But when she went to the house where the party had been, people there told her Kathy never showed up. The case started out as a missing persons report, as police searched for Kathy through the night, said Frank Colbert, a detective with the Montgomery County Police Department’s Major Crime Division’s cold case unit, who’s handling the case. The next morning, Kathy’s sister and a friend found her in a wooded area known as “The Rocks,” next to a Kmart store near the intersection of Connecticut and Georgia avenues,

he said. Badly beaten and with signs of having been sexually assaulted, Kathy was taken to Suburban Hospital in Bethesda, where she died within two weeks, on Aug. 5. Detectives initially thought they had a firm grasp on the case with solid suspects, but their investigation didn’t pan out. “It [was] worked pretty hard, from what I can tell,” Colbert said. The wooded area where Kathy was found was a common hangout for kids, Colbert said. The area had a reputation as a place where local kids would go to drink and do other drugs. It also had a network of trails, where locals would ride their dirt bikes. Kathy had a crush on a boy in her class who owned a dirt bike, and the pretty redhead would go to the area to hang around and try to get him to notice her, her mother said. On Friday night, Kathy’s family and friends returned for a vigil in the Kmart parking lot to remember her on the 39th anniversary of the attack and to bring attention to the case in hopes of finding her killer. The fact that no one has been brought to justice haunts her, Haberman said. “I feel like I’ve let my daughter down,” she said Friday. Friends looked back fondly on Kathy, and reflected on the impact the killing had on the community. “Kathy was the sweetest

See COLD, Page A-8 “We owe this to Kathy,” says Pat Haberman, remembering her daughter Kathy Beatty, who was killed in 1975, during a vigil Friday night near where she was attacked in Aspen Hill.

The Bethesda Soccer Club was awarded the use of the Richard Montgomery field and Bethesda Lacrosse and the Potomac Soccer Association were awarded the use of the Churchill field. The school board recently awarded Montgomery Soccer the field-use agreement for Gaithersburg High School’s field. Schuessler said in an interview he thinks his group should have been awarded the Richard Montgomery and Churchill field agreements because it serves a broader group of players around

Hao Lan, 12, or Darth, agreed, adding that there’s less homework here than what he’s used to in China. Shirley said her favorite activity was making sandwiches for the poor, because in China that would be something done within a family, not at school. She also enjoyed eating tuna sandwiches and shopping, especially at Five

“I went to several toy stores and was amazed at how big they were,” he said. “And the pizza and cookies were delicious.” Teachers Rose Fang and Kingsley Liu, who accompanied the group from China, said they were surprised by the importance of athletics in U.S. schools. The

Fighting crime with community spirit Olney, Rockville to celebrate National Night Out on Tuesday

TERRI HOGAN STAFF WRITER

Rockville and Olney will join forces with thousands of communities nationwide Tuesday to celebrate National Night Out, a crime prevention event sponsored by the National Association of Town Watch. The event is designed to generate neighborhood support and participation in crime prevention efforts and to enhance police and community relations. Olney’s event, hosted by the Olney Chamber of Commerce in partnership with the Montgomery County Police Department, Maryland-National Capital Park Police and Sandy Spring Volunteer Fire Department, will take place from 5 to 8 p.m. at the Fair Hill Shopping Center at the intersection of Md. 108 and Spartan Road.

“This year marks the 21st time Olney has been part of this nationwide event,” said Jon Hulsizer, the chamber’s executive director. Since it started in 1984, National Night Out has grown to include more than 14,000 communities, he said. “Last year, despite gloomy weather forecasts, over 2,000 Olney area residents turned out to share the interaction with our police and fire heroes,” Hulsizer said. The Olney event will feature musical entertainment, raffles, food, police and fire vehicles, SWAT team demonstrations, Park Police horses, search and rescue dogs, goggles that simulate drunken driving, child fingerprinting, crime prevention information and emergency response personnel to meet with residents. Local business and organizations will have exhibits, with children’s activities to include face painting, games and crafts. New this year is a photo booth, with costumes and accessories. Hulsizer said all net proceeds

would beneﬁt the Olney Police Satellite Station Fund, Maryland-National Capital Park Police and Sandy Spring Volunteer Fire Department. “To date, over $50,000 has been raised for police and fire departments, and we’d like to exceed last year’s record of $4,000,” he said.

Lights on in Rockville Unlike Olney’s central celebration, Rockville participates in National Night Out with multiple activities throughout the city. As a symbol of promoting anticrime and anti-drug awareness, Rockville residents are invited to turn on outdoor lights as part of the traditional display of front porch vigils, sending the message to criminals that neighborhoods are ﬁghting back against crime. Rockville Police Cpl. Kenneth Matney said National Night Out is very much community-based, ranging from small court parties with potluck dinners to the College Gardens

event, which typically draws 400 to 500 people. “There are probably 30 to 50 different events planned, which run the gamut,” he said. “We ask for a list, and help to promote them all. The mayor, council and other dignitaries try to visit as many different events as they can.” Neighborhoods, churches and other groups will host their own events, with activities such as cookouts, moon bounces, giveaways, carnival games and prizes, while providing an opportunity for neighbors to spend some time together. Matney said having multiple events works well. “We started National Night Out about 30 years ago, and people love it,” he said. “There is always a great response. Easily thousands attend each year.” More information on National Night Out in Olney is at olneymd.org and in Rockville at rockvillemd.gov/ index.aspx?NID=1550. thogan@gazette.net

Team of Stars summer camp helps students grow Middle schoolers write, present play

TERRI HOGAN STAFF WRITER

Young teens from around the county were stars for the past ﬁve weeks. Project Change of Olney, a nonproﬁt that works to help teens realize their potential, hosted Team of Stars, a free musical theater summer camp and after-school program. The program is for lower-income middle school students who live in Housing Opportunities Commission communities or qualify for the county’s Free and Reduced Meals program. The culminating performance, “Flip the Script,” was presented Thursday at the Mel-

vin J. Berman Hebrew Academy in Rockville. The play, written by the campers, was based on the theme “love conquers fear.” The curriculum targets three major positive youth development outcomes: confidence, competence and caring. The program uses analysis, performance and production of musical theater themes to help students learn skills for talking through conflict and expressing themselves. During the past three summers, organizers said, they have noted a significant increase in self-esteem, teamwork, project completion, confidence, motivation and critical thinking. This year’s original script centered around significant social issues including alcohol and other drugs, gangs, peer pres-

sure, bullying, prejudice, tolerance and respect. Campers participated in interactive workshops in theater, dance, music, stagecraft, physical education, leadership training, anti-bullying tactics and dialogue circles. Project Change’s goal is to promote youth development through leadership experiences, community service opportunities, the performing arts and safe social activities. Team of Stars is funded by the Jim and Carol Trawick Foundation, Montgomery County government, the Community Foundations of Montgomery County and Macy’s.

Fire and Rescue captain wins two silver medals Penelope “Penny” Ingles, a captain with Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Service, won two silver medals in the 2014 Can-Am Police and Fire Games. The games started as the Northwest Police-Fire Games in 1977 and involved agencies from Washington state, Oregon and western Canada. It has since expanded. Ingles won one silver medal in a chili cookoff, which was based on color, aroma, consistency and taste. Her entry finished behind one from the York County (Pa.) Sheriff’s Office, which hosted this year’s Games from July 13 to 20. Ingles also won a silver medal in a mountain biking event, behind a competitor from East Hempfield Township in Lancaster, Pa.

Retiree named chief deputy state fire marshal Michael D. Hanson, who retired this month from Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Service, has been named chief deputy in the Maryland State Fire Marshal’s Office. Hanson served with Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Service for 30 years. For his last 4½ years, he was a battalion chief, the agency posted in a news release on its blog. In 2003, he transferred to the agency’s Fire and Explosion Investigation Section. He is certified with the International Association of Arson Investigators and the National Association of Fire Investigators. He is an active and life member of the Frostburg Fire Department and a field instructor with the Maryland Fire and Rescue Institute. Hanson succeeds Joseph Flanagan, who was chief deputy state fire marshal for eight years.

Hilton, of Cumberland, draws inspiration from Western Maryland’s mountains and waterways, according to the release.

Rockville aiming for better health

The Rockville mayor and City Council last week adopted a resolution committing the city to becoming “a place that where residents and employees can make healthy choices about food and physical activity” by participating in the Healthy Eating Active Living Cities Campaign. The initiative, organized by the Maryland Municipal League and Institute for Public Health Innovation, involves more than 200 participating cities and towns in ﬁve states. As one of them, Rockville will receive free

technical assistance to support the adoption of policies promoting more healthful living, according to a city news release. Under the resolution, city will undertake the following: • Finish updating the Bikeway Master Plan. • Ensure that at least 80 percent of youth recreation programs include physical activity. • Offer nutritious options as part of programs that offer snacks to participants. • Maintain and enhance workplace wellness programs for city staff.

• Provide continued access to community gardens. • Provide continued public access to free reﬁlls of healthful, sustainable tap water. The resolution also commits Rockville to “promoting farmers markets and provide access to food stamp participants.” Progress toward meeting these goals will be tracked beginning with the ﬁscal 2016 operating budget. The resolution is online under the council’s July 21 meeting agenda at rockvillemd.gov/ agendacenter.

Potomac boy answers neighbor’s call of distress He and grandfather help rescue 81-year-old man BY

Jaden Selby, 10, of Potomac points to the incline where an elderly neighbor fell while picking berries. While driving by with his grandfather, Jaden heard calls for help and convinced his grandfather to turn around. Together they and another passerby helped the man, who was not seriously injured.

PEGGY MCEWAN STAFF WRITER

Jaden Selby never argues with his grandfather, but two weeks ago he did. They were out driving and he was sure he heard someone calling for help, a call his grandfather did not hear. It turned out the 10-year-old Potomac boy was right and his insistence helped rescue a neighbor who had fallen down a ravine while picking wild berries in the woods near his Potomac home in the neighborhood behind Wayside Elementary School. “Don’t use my name,” said the victim, who is 81 and suffers from arthritis. “I’m embarrassed that I could not get up.” The man said that while he was picking berries he stumbled into a hole and then went tumbling down, landing in the briars. He said he was there about 45 minutes calling for help.

It won’t be known for some time just how an 8-year-old Rockville girl died last week after swimming in a city pool, according to a Montgomery County spokeswoman. Officials are looking into the death of Stephanie Benitez of the 1700 block of Gunther Avenue, but the investigation could take a while as ofﬁcials try to determine a previously undiagnosed medical condition, said Lucille Baur on Tuesday. Stephanie was pronounced dead the night of July 22 after county and Rockville police were called to the city’s Rockville Swim and Fitness Center on Martins Lane that afternoon to investigate a possible drowning, according to a police press release. Investigators think Stephanie had jumped off the pool’s diving board and swam to a ladder at the deep end of the pool, police said. When she reached the ladder, she was unable to pull herself out of the water and began making what witnesses described as unusual movements. Lifeguards pulled Stephanie from the pool and began to treat her, but she remained unresponsive. Baur said Stephanie’s death is not being investigated as foul play or a drowning. An online plea for contributions to help the family pay for funeral expenses said Stephanie had suffered a heart attack. Donations may be made by searching for Benitez at giveforward.com. As of Tuesday, about $10,000 had been raised. rmarshall@gazette.net

Washington backed up and when the two looked down the ravine they saw a man lying there, in a spot that couldn’t be seen from the road. “I knew it would take two men to get him out,” Washington said. “By the grace of God, a truck stopped and it was a paramedic from Prince George’s County.

Continued from Page A-1 campus was bustling with activity, as many youth sport camps were in session. Fang was impressed by the classroom instruction. “I sat in on two or three periods and I thought the teachers were quite excellent,” she said. “Mr. [Rich] Seel taught grammar in a way that wasn’t boring.” Mindy Wanat, a Good Counsel parent, organized the program through her company, North America Education and Culture Inc. The Rockville company works with students from China who want to come to America to study or for summer camp. Wanat said these students are from a large and prosperous area of China. “With continued economic growth, the disparity between the wealthy and poor is growing ever greater,” she said. “It is important that students in China, and everywhere in the world, commit themselves to helping those who are less fortunate.” Because commitment to service is a large part of life for Good Counsel students, she wanted campers to experience pride in helping others. Students practiced songs and learned games for their visit to a home for seniors. Students each donated $5 of their own money toward buying food to make 200 sandwiches for the homeless. They shopped for the ingredients, and prepared, wrapped and boxed the sandwiches. At the Agricultural History Farm Park, they were met by Boy Scouts and 4-H Club members who explained how each week they care for the animals and the grounds. Teamwork and school spirit are a big part of life at Good Counsel, and the camp was structured to promote those ideals. “Competition in China is great, and students actively compete for top achievements

in school so they can attend the better universities,” Wanat said. “As a result, the concept of working cooperatively in China isn’t emphasized.” Campers were divided into five groups, each led by two Good Counsel students. The groups worked cooperatively on various tasks and competed against other groups in various activities, and all celebrated each other’s victories. It also was a learning experience for the host families. Will Zeng hosted three 13-year-old boys in his Brookeville home. The boys ﬁt right in with Zeng, his wife, and three children, ages 17, 19, and 22, all whom attended Good Counsel. His daughter Sarah, 19, said the experience was a lot of fun. “I made their lunches and took them to school every day, so I feel like their mother,” she said. “I also get to practice my Chinese, and they get to practice their English.” Will Zeng said that because he grew up in China near where the students are from, he could relate to the boys. They received instruction in the host homes, not just in school. Zeng taught them proper American dining etiquette, and kept on the boys about leaving messes in the bathroom. The Zengs said the boys enjoyed playing golf, tennis and basketball, and shopping for their family members, buying vitamins at Costco, designer clothing and accessories. “They play hard and then they eat a lot,” Sarah Zeng said. “For breakfast, they ate ﬁve eggs each.” Both Will and Sarah said the experience has been positive, and would welcome the opportunity to host students again. “They are having their adventure, and so are we,” Sarah Zeng said. The students left Maryland on Friday, with plans to visit Philadelphia, New York City, Boston and Los Angeles. thogan@gazette.net

She was into music and liked the Eagles and Chicago, and was learning to play the latter’s “Colour My World” on the guitar, Drury said. Drury said she thinks “all the time” about what Kathy would be like now, and reﬂects on everything she’s missed, such as being a grandmother or even their high school graduation. “She didn’t even get a Sweet 16. She got nothing,” Drury said.

The letter to the council said the school board awarded the agreements “to elite clubs that serve only a limited fraction — the wealthiest — of the County’s youth.” Brian Edwards, a county school system spokesman, said school officials will address specifics in its response to the lawsuit. “We find the allegations come without merit and we’ll demonstrate that through the court case,” he said.

10, of Kensington — robbed the area of its innocence, Drury said. “It was that [age] when you’re not supposed to think about your mortality,” she said. Drury’s brother Joe Drury stood at the intersection of Connecticut and Georgia avenues before the vigil started, waving a yellow yard sign with Kathy’s picture and the website www. whokilledkathy.com. He said Aspen Hill in those days had a small-town feel, where people would leave their front doors unlocked. Drury said he has only faint memories of Kathy, but remembers the whole neighborhood being very upset by her death. “It was a major blow around here,” he said. Drury has two sons, 12 and 14, and said he hopes anyone with information about Kathy’s death will come forward. “I’d want somebody to speak up for my children,” he said.

Steve Kerpelman, a former Prince George’s County police ofﬁcer who went to school with Beatty, remembered her as a quiet, nice girl whom everyone liked. After more than 21 years as an officer in Prince George’s, Kerpelman now runs a private investigative ﬁrm and is investigating the case. “She was supposed to be home by dark. That’s all we know,” Kerpelman said Friday. People have always talked about the case because there was never an arrest, and since he’s started looking into it he’s been “constantly” getting calls, emails and texts with possible information. But some of the information he gets is second- or third-hand. “One of the things you’re dealing with is a lot of rumor,” Kerpelman said. Colbert said he and Kerpelman have been in touch, and he would like to have the case

solved before the 40th anniversary next year. He’s hopeful that the renewed attention will stir up new information, and that people who know something may be more willing to come forward now that so much time has passed. Carrie Drury said she hopes that after so long, whoever killed Kathy will want to clear his conscience. “I pray every day that somebody will ask for forgiveness for what they did to her,” she said. Haberman said it’s wonderful to know that so many people still remember her daughter and are interested in getting the case solved. “We owe this to Kathy,” she said. “She deserves closure.” Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call the police department’s major crimes unit at 240-773-5070.

mission would be selected. The factors considered in the point system as shown in the letter included the organization’s vision, community benefits, references, personnel and financial offer. Schuessler said his organization doesn’t think the selection committee used the point system. A school official told Montgomery Soccer in a phone call in March that it had been awarded the agreement, but the group later received an email saying that it had not been selected, he said. After Montgomery Soccer protested the decision, the organizations were given the chance to re-enter their submissions and Bethesda Soccer Club was selected a second time. The letter said that school officials told the organization during a meeting that the school system had received another, better offer for the Churchill field and would not talk about Montgomery Soccer’s proposal. Schuessler said the school officials defined the other bid “in financial terms only.” Greg Dillon, president of Bethesda Soccer Club, said he saw no evidence of the rules being broken.

“I feel that our submission complied with the requirements of the requests for proposal and I don’t see any reason for the school system to overturn it,” Dillon said. Bethesda Soccer Club — which also holds ﬁeld-use agreements at Walter Johnson High in Bethesda and Thomas S. Wootton High in Rockville — serves about 1,000 players in more than 70 teams in the county, he said. “And, you know, they are not all elite and wealthy players,” he said. He said the club offers scholarships to low-income families. In a July 23 letter to the County Council, Potomac Soccer Association leaders said the organization expects to have more than 600 members from around the county in 50 teams in the fall. “Our players and families come from all socio economic categories and no child is ever precluded from participating based on ﬁnancial need or condition,” the letter states. An email seeking comment from Bethesda Lacrosse’s leadership was not answered. The County Council was set to vote Tuesday on an appropriation to build the Churchill

field, but dropped the resolution in response to a request from the school board. “Our lawyers thought it would be best to hold off on action at this time because of the pending litigation,” Dana Tofig, a school system spokesman, said in an email. Council President and Education Committee Chairman Craig L. Rice said Monday after the education committee discussed the appropriation that he had not looked at the facts of the Montgomery Soccer case and could not comment on it. However, by no means is the county going to stop building fields that serve students, said Rice (D-Dist. 2) of Germantown. The court has to decide whether a law was violated, he said. “If it’s something that is an overarching policy that we find as a result of this court case that needs to be changed or needs to be revisited then we can take a look at that as well,” he said. “But we have to let the court findings come out first.”

Abbi Wicklein-Bayne, National Park Service director of interpretation, discusses the new sign for the Brookeville site of the Star Spangled Banner National Historic Trail with Rep. John Sarbanes at Brookeville Academy on July 22.

Brookeville added to historic trail Sign unveiled at Brookeville Academy during ceremony n

TERRI HOGAN STAFF WRITER

The town of Brookeville received another star in its history crown this week, as it was placed on the National Park Service’s Star Spangled Banner National Historic Trail. Town ofﬁcials and residents joined Rep. John Sarbanes (DDist. 3) of Towson and members of the District 14 legislative delegation to unveil the sign, installed outside the Brookeville Academy at 5 High St. The trail honors sites crucial to the War of 1812. It connects historic sites in Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C., and commemorates the events leading up to the Battle for Baltimore, the aftermath of which inspired Francis Scott Key to write the national anthem. The honor comes as Brookeville plans a two-day bicentennial celebration of its role as U.S. Capital for a Day in August 1814. Brookeville is the only Montgomery County site included on the trail. The Quaker community, then Montgomery County’s second-largest town, provided a safe harbor to thousands of refugees, cavalry and President James Madison after the invasion and burning of Washington by British troops. Sarbanes, who championed legislation creating the Star Spangled Banner National Historic Trail, said the War of 1812 is often referred to as America’s second revolutionary war.

“We had the Revolutionary War that was a declaration we wanted to be free of British rule,” Sarbanes said at the event July 22. “This next war was a statement that we like this experiment in freedom. We’ve tasted it and don’t want to let it go.” Sandra Heiler, chairwoman of Brookeville’s Bicentennial Commission, told the crowd that when Madison arrived in Brookeville, it was a low point in American history. “Although the British had invaded and burned Washing-

ton, their troops withdrew and Madison and his cabinet were able to return to the city,” she said. “It was a turning point in Madison’s career and also a celebration of the generous spirit of a Quaker community.” Brookeville’s U.S. Capital for a Day Celebration on Aug. 30-31 features two days of free, family-friendly events, including a historically authentic reenactment of Madison’s arrival.

Electoral review wins our vote

During last month’s primary elections, five out of every six registered voters in Montgomery County — about 84 percent — didn’t participate. By a slim margin, the county had the worst participation in Maryland and a staggering figure for a free society. We could speculate indefinitely about what keeps people away from the polls: apathy, disgust, time, access? A county task force is focusing on how to improve this anemic result. Actually, the group’s work isn’t a reaction to the 2014 primary elections; it has been meeting, talking and thinking for months. It produced an 84-page report June 4, weeks before the primaries. Like the County Council, we have reviewed the task force’s report and 59 recommendations in it at the county, state and federal levels. Many are excellent and almost all are worth pursuing or at least discussing. We first zeroed in on redisLOW TURNOUT tricting, one of Maryland’s great SHOWS MORE shames. Even Democrats, who MUST BE DONE rule the state, must concede that the system for redrawing TO BOOST congressional boundaries is blaPARTICIPATION tantly slanted and serves only to protect and strengthen the controlling party. A district shaped like a “blood splatter,” as critics describe Maryland’s 3rd Congressional District, is a stick in the eye of good government, a willful violation of requirements for creating compact, contiguous districts. In 2011, Democrats in Annapolis decided to leave the 1st District for Republicans and reclaim the 6th for themselves, so they did. The “open” process that followed was a sham and the ensuing election results a formality. We passionately endorse the task force’s call for a neutral redistricting commission, especially this provision: No commission member shall hold elected office when appointed or for two years after serving on the commission. The report wisely says: “Elected officials should not choose their voters; voters should choose their elected officials.” The task force, correctly, recommended a better state referendum system. In particular, ballot questions must be worded so voters can understand them. Redistricting, again, is a prime example of how poorly the state carries out this function. Consider the 2012 referendum question on whether to affirm a badly skewed congressional redistricting map. It said: “Establishes the boundaries for the State’s eight United States Congressional Districts based on recent census figures, as required by the United States Constitution.” With that wording, passage was never in doubt. If, however, voters saw a self-explanatory map, voters’ sentiments might have swung the opposite way. The county task force dug into a number of topics to look for potential improvement — “friendlier” ballot design, minor-party ballot access, voting age. We like many other of its ideas, such as these: • Filling vacancies for elected offices through a special election instead of appointment. • A geographic distribution requirement for referendum petition signatures. • Equal access for candidates at debates and guaranteed time on county-controlled media. We were impressed, as we read the report, by a process that invited debate. The report is filled with dissenting, provocative viewpoints. For example, the task force recommended ways to nudge people not registered to vote. One is to switch them to “pending” status, one step closer to registration, then notify them about an “opt in” process. Another is to get more government agencies to promote voter registration during interactions with the public. An opponent on the task force denounced these ideas as an overreach, writing: “Registration, like voting, is an American right. ... It is not mandatory that one votes in the USA and it should not be mandatory that one is forced to register. ... None of these recommendations should be supported by freedom-loving Americans!” Other majority recommendations were criticized, too — from the right and the left. If you have the slightest interest in government and voting, we strongly encourage you to read — and react — to the report, which is extensive and incisive. It’s posted at http://tinyurl.com/l32p4xj. Other underlying reasons might help explain low public participation. Do candidates inspire? In a largely one-party county, are there noticeable distinctions in platforms? Do constituents have faith in the electoral system? Or maybe the public is satisfied with the status quo. In Montgomery, one factor is obvious: limited choice. With few contested party primaries, Republicans had little reason to vote, and just 12 percent did. For Democrats, turnout was about 24 percent. Some questions might be too grand and philosophical to conquer in a short time. For now, we’re glad that a committed group of volunteers is leading a robust review of what is within our control.

By heart or by head? Most of us would open our hearts and our wallets to a dirty, frightened kid knocking on our door. And people like my wife would adopt every stray dog that peers out from those animal control newspaper ads. But that’s not how you make either national policy or household policy. By this October, 90,000 children (more than Baltimore City’s entire K-12 school enrollment) will illegally cross our southern border, an exodus that’s ignited a national debate. “I believe in American generosity and the compassion MY MARYLAND of our people. We do BLAIR LEE not turn our back on innocent children who arrive at our doorstep ﬂeeing death,” says Gov. Martin O’Malley. Others cite the Statue of Liberty, the Golden Rule and liberal guilt (by deporting gang members, by serving as an illegal drug market and by failing to improve life in Central America, we are to blame). These folks, governed by their hearts, want us to provide these children with a permanent home. “If every state in the union were to ﬁnd places for 1,200 of these children, we might not even notice they are here,” writes Baltimore Sun columnist Susan Reimer. But others, governed by their heads, want the illegals repatriated as soon as possible. How are we going to provide the housing, food, medical attention, transportation, welfare assistance and schooling for 90,000 unexpected children? Who’s going to pay for all the new judges, counselors and immigration officials needed to process their deportation hearings in a system already backlogged to 2017?

Even more important, if we gladly accept this surge of illegals, what’s the message to every other foreigner who seeks U.S. residency? Have we signaled the world that America is a “sanctuary nation” willing to absorb the world’s huddled masses no matter what? Where does it stop? What do we say to the millions of refugees fleeing Syria, Sudan and South Africa? How about the 85,000 Palestinians seeking safety from the Gaza slaughter? Or the persecuted folks in Egypt, Iraq and North Korea? This year 71,000 illegals entered Europe from Libya. What if they landed here instead? And how about the masses left behind in Central America? If every state took an equal share of these multitudes, do you think “we’d notice they are here”? Playing immigration politics is how we got into this mess in the first place. On Dec. 23, 2008, well after Barack Obama’s election, President Bush signed a bill, unanimously passed by Congress, aimed at protecting the victims and potential victims of the international child sex-trafficking trade. Kids who arrived here, alone, would no longer be deported without a court hearing determining eligibility for asylum. Meanwhile, the federal government would care for them. The target was true sex trafficking victims, not 90,000 kids fleeing Central America to be reunited with their families in the U.S. Then, in June 2012, President Obama exacerbated the problem by issuing his “Deferred Action For Childhood Arrivals” executive order circumventing U.S. immigration law and bypassing Congress. With the stroke of his pen, Obama halted deportations for an estimated 1.7 million illegals, mostly minors. Why? Because his Dream Act was dead in Congress, he was in the midst of a tough reelection campaign and the Latino lobby was jacking up pressure on him. So, Obama

sent the world a green light that if you cross the border, you’re likely to stay. But wait, it gets worse. Thanks to Obama’s executive order, the number of “unaccompanied, undocumented children” skyrocketed from 5,000 in 2012 to 57,000 so far this year. And, as The Washington Post revealed, the Obama administration was fully aware of the looming catastrophe. However, nothing was said or done for fear it would undermine Obama’s immigration reform bill pending in Congress. How could Obama admit that tens of thousands of illegal minors were crossing the same border that he’d promised Congress was “secure”? When the surge subsequently hit the fan, Obama and the Dems first dismissed it as border states’ “local problem.” Then, when the exodus’s dimensions became clear, Obama and Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi proposed a massive $3.7 billion aid program together with an amendment of the 2008 sex trafficking law to expedite deportations. That position lasted about 24 hours until the Latino lobby raised hell, forcing Obama and Pelosi to back away from amending the 2008 statute. Result: Congressional gridlock. Now, according to rumor, Obama is contemplating yet another executive order granting U.S. refugee status to Hondurans who apply in Honduras, not by crossing the border. Perhaps, he prays, that will quell the crisis. How about O’Malley? Is he playing politics, too? Is his call for compassion simply pandering to the Latino vote? I hope so, because governing by heart instead of by head calls into question his fitness to serve.

LETTERS TOT HE EDITOR

Walk to end darkness of suicide

Our community knows as well as any that suicide takes an enormous toll on families, friends, co-workers, schools and entire communities. We can’t afford to stand by and watch this preventable public health issue take more young lives in our community. It’s time to take action. Ten years ago, my son took his life at the age of 16. Prior to that day, I had no idea that he was in such a state and didn’t want to go on living. But, as I have become involved with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP), I have learned a lot about mental illness and how very important it is to recognize the signs. It can happen, but I never thought it would. During the months of September and October, the AFSP Maryland Chapter will conduct Out of the Darkness Community Walks all across our

There’s little choice under Democratic rule

state, including one locally on Saturday, Sept. 13 — to raise vital funds for prevention research and education and, just as important, raise awareness about suicide. The Montgomery County walk will be at Rockville Town Square on Sept. 13 at 10 a.m. For more information, contact Cathy Nieves at 646-6325189 or cnieves@newwavetech.com. Details are posted at http://tinyurl.com/ppphyzr. To learn more about any of the walks in Maryland, please visit http:// www.afsp.org, then click on “Community Walks,” then “Find an Event Near You.” If you are in crisis, please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255).

I was amused to read the July 23 article “Council grapples with low turnout” in response to a mere 16 percent of voters coming out for the primaries. I say it amused me because it reminded me of a mailing I received leading up to the primary which sought volunteers to work at the polls to ensure fair and balanced elections. The truth is, there are no balanced elections in Montgomery County and those whom we do elect then proceed to tax our rainwater and plastic bags and maybe add some more speed cameras. The article I mentioned above quoted six Democrats and no Republicans because in Montgomery County, the elections have come down to only which Democrat, with their same liberal policies, is going to be elected. I did vote on the day of the primary and I’ll vote in November, as well, but I can’t wait to ﬂee the People’s Republic Of Montgomery County for the freedoms allowed us in Delaware.

Unexpected Stage tackles cancer n

Musical ‘Dani Girl’ focuses on 9-year-old leukemia patient BY

KIRSTY GROFF STAFF WRITER

A lighthearted musical may not be the ﬁrst theater genre to spring to mind when considering the topic of cancer, but Unexpected Stage Company takes on the illness — as does the lead character — with aplomb in their production of “Dani Girl.” The musical follows 9-year-old Dani, who enters the hospital when her leukemia comes out of remission. She attempts to deal with her illness’ return by embarking on a fantastical journey with her roommate, her imaginary friend and her teddy bear. Christopher Dimond, who wrote the

book and lyrics with music provided by writing partner Michael Kooman, took inspiration for “Dani Girl” from his cousin, who struggled with cancer as a child. Through witnessing the experiences of a family member with pediatric cancer, he knew that a

production centered on children would differ from one on how adults deal with cancer. “Michael and I realized early on that we couldn’t write the play people expected,” said Dimond. “We couldn’t let it become this melodramatic after-school special, it had to be a celebration of life, of exploring the way children deal with disease. Kids who are sick have this rich appreciation of living that someone not facing the prospect of death can’t really grasp.” When Christopher Goodrich and Rachel Stroud-Goodrich, the married co-artistic directors at Unexpected Stage Company, were researching possibilities for their ﬁrst musical since their start ﬁve years ago, Kooman and Dimond’s songs kept returning to them. After Stroud-Goodrich’s coworker at the Kennedy Center told her about “Dani Girl,”

The main entrance to Bethesda’s newest dining destination is an elevator lobby. Ride to the second floor and enter the sleek yet subdued dining room of windows, steel, wood paneling and posh lights. Ride to the third floor and spill out onto the deck of a roof top party that would make a bar on Route 1 in Dewey Beach blush. Roof, the latest venue brought to you by the producers of Tommy Joes, is two distinct identities under one ... roof. The menu of exotic libations is available both on the roof and in the dining room. And while they are pricy, they are fun to behold and delicious to drink. Seeking something that is not on the menu? Simply ask, and the bar staff will surely come up with a glass of quality bubbly or a topshelf margarita. While the upper deck is more of a party, the dining space is like an elegant flight deck on some

giant ship landing on the corner of avenues Cordell and Norfolk, a sleek study in steel and glass overlooking the hubbub of Bethesda. While its opening in late December was uneven and fraught with challenges in both the dining room and the kitchen, there have been signiﬁcant improvements in the service at the table and the food on the plate. Locally trained, Chef Jed Fox boasts an impressive resume that includes a stint at the Inn in Little Washington. Of the small plates on the menu, Atlantic octopus is well executed. The morsels of tentacles are tender yet tastefully charred, and while the garnish of watermelon and compressed cucumber are a little weird, the tahini yogurt and cubes of feta are a nice touch. The house crabcake is worthy of its proximity to the Chesapeake, well seasoned with plenty of small lumps in proportion to filler. Crabcakes are served atop a well-made fried green tomato and topped with micro greens and roasted red bell

they saw a workshop of it and decided to pursue the piece. “What intrigued me was how the devastation is balanced with real levity and humor,” said Goodrich, who directs the musical. “It’s evidenced in the lyrics and the written words, the ages of the characters, the melodies even of the songs. We have these two kids dealing with this chronic illness through imagination and humor, but you never really forget what’s right there behind them tapping them on the shoulder.” While some productions use a child actor for Dani, Unexpected Stage Company decided to cast 23-year-old actress Caroline Wolfson of Rockville in the title role based on the need for an experienced actor to portray both the seriousness and humorous nature of the musical. Despite being 14 years older than her character, Wolfson found it relatively easy to get inside the mind of a child thanks to the writing. Dani is precocious, resilient, curious about the world and open to adventure and new experiences, and Wolfson found herself revisiting that time period in her own life while preparing for the role. “I thought a lot about the

openness you have as a child, you don’t have hard opinions on anything,” Wolfson said. “The world still has mystery and wonder, and I think that’s something you forget as you grow older and your questions have more answers.” “Dani Girl” also explores the relationship between Dani and her mother, recognizing the myriad of emotions a parent goes through when their child is suffering from a chronic illness. Unexpected Stage Company takes on productions that focus on the intricacies of the human experience and the deeper nuances of relationship dynamics, a mission Dimond believes fits “Dani Girl” perfectly. “It’s a piece that’s really focused on relationships as a means of getting through difficult and dark times in life,” he said, “and a celebration of human connection as a means of making suffering worthwhile.” “It’s a bit more challenging to do a musical when you’re focusing on the intricacies of how people interact,” added StroudGoodrich. “It’s easier to unpack when the characters are speaking; it’s on another level when they’re singing, and finding the material like this that can still reach there and look at relationships is unique.” Unexpected Stage Company also maintains a connection

to the community and social causes, dedicating one show of each production to an organization related to the topic. This year’s beneﬁt performance, taking place on Sunday, will raise money for Children’s National Health System. There will be a talkback with members of the cast and crew following the performance. Dimond came to a separate talkback following an afternoon performance July 19. By holding discussions between audience members and the people involved in putting together the production, the company hopes everyone can get a deeper understanding of what it’s like to deal with cancer and how to portray that to a crowd — and possibly enlighten viewers who never considered the differences between adult and child patients. “We tend to dismiss children’s thoughts and feelings or deny that they could understand complicated issues,” Wolfson said. “Even though they might not understand everything, it doesn’t mean they can’t have complicated feelings of wanting something but having to accept the reality of the situation, and I think this show is good at communicating that.” kgroff@gazette.net

St. Andrew’s graduate becomes school’s ﬁrst pro basketball player n

FILE PHOTO

Silver Spring native and Our Lady of Good Counsel High School graduate Midge Purce is a member of the U.S. Women’s National Soccer Under-20 team. She is currently a student at Harvard University.

ERIC GOLDWEIN STAFF WRITER

In December 2010, less than two years after he graduated from St. Andrew’s Episcopal School, Olney native Alexander Zurn found himself in Huntington Beach, Calif., living with his father, away from his college and high school friends because of an academic suspension. This wasn’t where Zurn, a 6-foot-4 high-flying guard and former Lions standout, wanted to be during his second year at Gettysburg College. But there was a silver lining. “I didn’t have anything to do but to get my act together,” Zurn said. “Classes and basketball. That’s all I did out there because I didn’t know anybody.” Nearly four years later, Zurn, 24, is preparing for his second season of basketball in Europe — his ﬁrst with a paycheck — and is expecting to complete his business degree from the Dublin Business School in the fall. The suspension was a turning point, he said, helping make his pro basketball dream a reality. Zurn made Dean’s List and earned All-Centennial Conference Honorable Mention when he returned for his junior year, and carried that momentum into his senior season, when he was named to the All-Centennial Conference First Team. “It changed his life,” his father, John Zurn, said. “He understands now that he has to work harder than anybody else if he wants to be successful.” Zurn’s journey into the European basketball circuit began after his senior season, when he sent emails to an estimated 1,000 coaches and team representatives to gauge interest. Most of his messages were ignored, but he did receive three tryout offers — one from Germany, one from France and one from Ireland. That was enough to convince Zurn to book a ﬂight to Europe. If nothing worked out, he planned to travel abroad for the summer, he said, but it didn’t come down to that. Zurn was offered an unpaid spot on the Swords Thunder club, taking it after he received a scholarship at the Dublin Business School (DBS).

First Ivy Leaguer to earn spot on Under-20 roster BY JENNIFER BEEKMAN STAFF WRITER

One day, in the heart of winter three or four years ago, longtime Our Lady of Good Counsel High School girls soccer coach Jim Bruno was at the Olney private school’s

campus to work. The numbing cold wind was gusting and very few people dared to venture outside, he said. But there, heading out to the soccer ﬁeld, was the program’s all-time leading scorer and 2013 graduate Margaret “Midge” Purce (101 goals). “It was the dead of winter, the wind was blowing a billion miles an

Following 1-24 season, Falcons believe experience will help BY

TIM O’DONNELL STAFF WRITER

When boys basketball coach Robert Churchwell took the Our Lady Good Counsel High School sidelines for the ﬁrst time last season, he said he knew he had a difﬁcult challenge ahead of him. Although the Falcons had not

had a winning record since the 2009-10 season, the once proud program took its biggest tumble last year, ﬁnishing 1-24 overall and at the bottom of the Washington Catholic Athletic Conference with a 0-19 mark. Their lone victory came against Cardozo. While the record may have come as a surprise, Churchwell did expect the Falcons to struggle going into the season, as they returned only one varsity player from the previous year. Of the 12 players on the

Bullis School tries again for stability Fourth coach in four years takes over girls basketball team n

ERIC GOLDWEIN STAFF WRITER

A new coach, a new system, a new summer routine — it’s a makeover that the Bullis School girls basketball players are all too familiar with, one that some have been through twice before. The girls are hoping that this staff, led by Hayley Hollis, is the one that can ﬁnally stabilize the program. Hollis, 27, of Rockville, was hired in April to replace Clinton Perrow, becoming Bullis’ fourth coach in as many years. Unlike her two predecessors, Hollis was

hired full-time and will teach health in addition to leading the middle school program. “Which is comforting to know,” said junior forward Lawrencia Moten, who has had three coaches at Bullis. “... It was fun to adjust but it deﬁnitely was an experience. It’s something new and it’s testing my character for sure.” Hollis has held various coaching positions in Montgomery County, serving as associate head coach and director of operations at Sherwood under Chris Campbell last season and prior to that, working on the Academy of the Holy Cross staff. “We’re very excited to have her. She’s high energy,” said Kathleen Lloyd, Bullis girls athletic director. “.... She’s familiar

with Bullis and she has experience with schools in the area.” Lloyd said the school “decided to go in a different direction” with Perrow, who led Bullis to a 13-14 record in his one season. Before Perrow, the Bulldogs won an Independent School League AA title under Rod Hairston, who moved on to Prince George’s County’s St. Vincent Pallotti after a one-year stint. And before that, the Bulldogs were led by Kira Orr, who stepped down after ﬁve seasons and remains a middle school assistant principal. Hollis, who played for Our Lady of Good Counsel, said she understands the challenges she faces as a new coach.

Continued from Page B-1 Reading Rockets to offer a contract valued at $1,100 (650 pounds) in June for the upcoming season. Christian Bors, a Gettysburg and Sidwell Friends graduate, said Zurn’s athleticism is what sets him apart. A four-sport athlete at St. Andrew’s, Zurn owns Gettysburg’s all-time dunk record with 39 over four seasons. “Just how fast he is, how quick he is to get off the ﬂoor and get up in the air. It’s very tough to keep up with him,” Bors said. Zurn, currently residing in New Port, R.I. said he is ﬂying to Europe in mid-August for training camp, with the season beginning in October. He receives room, board, food and utilities, while also working on commission with the Rockets’ marketing team, he said. “My expectation is to be the leader on the team. Whether that’s being the leading scorer, or [being]

vocal, I expect to be the leader on the team,” said Zurn, who anticipates being the Rockets’ only United States player. “It’s going to be a really big stepping stone because last year I went into it not knowing what to expect. Now I’ll be able to live on my own and solely focus on basketball.” Zurn is the ﬁrst St. Andrew’s alumnus to play pro basketball, according to Athletic Director Al Hightower. “I don’t know how high he’ll be able to go but I think if he gets a little bit of luck with the right people seeing him play, he can go pretty high,” Bors said. Zurn said he hopes his season with the Rockets will lead to more opportunities with other competitive international teams. “I would never think he’d make it to the NBA or the higher levels of Europe, but I never thought he’d make it this far,” John Zurn said. “... I’m ready to be surprised some more.” egoldwein@gazette.net

She also received the Ivy League’s Rookie of the Year honors, among a plethora of other accolades. The Silver Spring native is an undeniably talented soccer player. She has an incredible first step, tremendous overall speed around the field that never seems to wane no matter how long she’s been on the field, great skill with the ball at her feet and a knack for finding the back of the net. But it’s the type of dedication to her craft that Purce displayed with her determination to keep her practice session despite the extreme weather that has enabled the striker, who scored a teamand league-high 11 goals in 2013-

Our Lady of Good Counsel High School rising sophomore Kyle Turner (left) was injured most of last winter, but is expected to be a key player this season.

14 and was a Top Drawer Soccer Freshmen Best XI first team pick, to separate herself at every level she’s played, Bruno said. On July 17, after spending the summer training and traveling with the U.S. U-20 Women’s National Team — Purce scored a goal in the team’s 2-1 win against France in Europe June 13 — she was officially named to coach Michelle French’s FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup roster. The tournament is scheduled for Aug. 5-20 in various cities across Canada and is planned to be televised by the ESPN networks. “She is a self-starter,” Bruno said. “She loves all challenges. This kid, there’s no obstacle she feels like she can’t overcome. And not in a bragging way. Mostly [what’s kept her on this track] is all the work she’s done by herself.” Purce is set to become the first player from an Ivy League team to represent the United States in a FIFA Women’s World Cup, according to U.S. Soccer’s website. But this is not her first World Cup, she made her debut as a member of the 2012 FIFA U-17 team and was the U.S. team’s second leading scorer during the qualifying tournament

with three goals. “The opportunity to represent the country on such a level is, honestly, I think it’s indescribable,” Purce said. “It’s something so inexplicable words can’t convey how [special it is]. To say we have the opportunity to be the best in the world at something, that’s not something a lot of people in the world get a chance to do. The closer we get [to the World Cup] the more it becomes real. It’s just an amazing process to go through.” Purce received her ﬁrst call up to a national training camp when she was a junior in high school for the U-15 squad and it came as a shock to her, she said. At the time, Purce said she had no idea the magnitude of the opportunity she was being presented with but is thankful it happened. If there’s one message she could get across to young players growing up in the Washington, D.C., area, Purce said, it would be that if one puts in the work, great things are possible. Bruno said his former student-athlete can serve as an inspiration and he makes sure players on his teams and attending his summer camps know who she is and where she

comes from. There are players who make it to the national pool while they’re in high school but eventually fall out of the top company by the time they’re in the U-20 and U-23 brackets. Only the best of the best make it to the U.S. Women’s National Team and that is Purce’s ultimate goal, she said. Bruno said he believes she can do that and if she does, it will be the time she’s spent out on the practice ﬁelds when no one else wants to be, that will get her there. “Whenever I go out to the ﬁeld by myself or grab a teammate, I always remember that someone started training 10 minutes before me,” Purce said. “I’d have to say the most important thing about being on this track is just continuing to learn. The opportunities you get when you get called up to camp, to get coached by people who are so knowledgeable and so passionate for the game. You’re surrounded by players who share a passion for the game and are so talented. Every time I’m called up to camp I just want to soak up all the information and enjoy it.” jbeekman@gazette.net

roster, eight were underclassmen, including four freshman. “I knew what we had coming into the situation,” Churchwell said. “I expected we would have won a few more games. But I pretty much knew [it was going to take time to win]. We had one guy with varsity experience.” Now, the young team has the experience under its belt. The Falcons turned last season’s struggles into motivation this summer and performed well in both leagues (DeMatha, Born to Bump). “[Players] were more mature,” Churchwell said. “Taking the beatings we took last year, they’re beginning to understand what it takes. We are still a long way away, but I believe we’re heading in the right direction.” Notable returnees include rising senior guards Matthew Perigard and Gregg Hill, 6-foot-7 rising junior Nick Gittings and rising sophomores forwards James Valle and Ayinde Eley, the team’s returning leading scorer at 8.4 points per game “I think we played a lot better in the summer and were more comfortable on the court together in the second year,” Perigard said. “We had a lot more fun actually winning some games. ... I think I’m becoming a better leader, helping out the other players.” The Falcons should also enter the season with two key additions. One is rising soph-

omore forward Kyle Turner, who was on the varsity squad last year, but he missed the majority of the season due to an injury. “It was definitely tough watching the team go through all that,” Turner said. “It was a pretty eye-opening experience to sit on the bench. I could see all the potential we had.” Also new to the mix is rising sophomore point guard Cameron Norman, a transfer from the Severn School. Churchwell expects Norman to step in as the starter from the beginning. He averaged 18.4 points per game as a freshman, according to the Washington Post. Norman expressed his excitement about joining the Falcons and stepping in as the ﬂoor leader. “I think that Good Counsel just provides me with better opportunities, especially for sports,” Norman said. He also noted that he believes Churchwell and the rest of the coaching staff will help elevate his game to the next level. The Falcons said they are hoping to move back up the ladder in the WCAC. “Hey, if we win two games, that’ll be an improvement,” Churchwell said. “No, but our goal is to improve day in and day out. God willing we’ll stay healthy and see our win total increase. Last year was the start of a process. You can’t just bring guys in and start to win. There needs to be a foundation.” todonnell@gazette.net Bullis graduated several key players, including Lynee Belton’ (Duke), Kirby Porter (Harvard) and Ashley DeLeonibus (William & Mary), the top three scorers.

Montgomery County Swim League All-Stars

KEEPING IT BRIEF Bethesda-Olney Soccer Club loses championship, coach In its ﬁrst season in the U.S. Soccer Development Academy (USSDA), the Bethesda-Olney Soccer Club Under-17/18 team reached the league’s national championship game where they would lose 2-0 to the Players Development Academy (PDA) of Bernardsville, N.J., on July 19 at the StubHub center in Carson, Calif. Bethesda-Olney entered the game as the league’s top-seeded playoff team with a 23-2-0 regular-season record, and a 4-0 postseason run with notable wins against Major League Soccer U-18 teams such as the Vancouver Whitecaps FC, Chivas USA, and the Montreal Impact. PDA went 19-3-3 in the regular season before capping a 5-0-1 postseason run with the title win. According to SoccerWire.com, Bethesda-Olney’s head coach, and USSDA East Conference Coach of the Year, Matthew Pilkington, accepted a job as the boys’ U-8 to U-18 technical director at Downtown United Soccer Club in New York City. Pilkington has been with Bethesda-Olney for a decade.

GEORGE P. SMITH/FOR THE GAZETTE

The Rockville Municipal Swim Center hosted the 57th annual Montgomery County Swim League Individual AllStars Sunday. In the second event of the morning, Phoebe Bacon, who competes for Tallyho in Potomac, won the girls 12-under 100-meter individual medley (1 minutes, 9.04 seconds). She beat the old league record of 1:09.45, set ﬁve years earlier by Lauren James. Bacon returned two hours later to establish another league mark in the 11-12 girls 50 butterfly (30.20). Bacon, 11, beat the previous mark set 14 years earlier by Laura Eull (Country Glen). Less than 20 minutes later another league record was established as Giulia Baroldi (Potomac Glen) won the 9-10 girls 50 freestyle (29.58) over Jillian Berger (29.93, Little Falls). Midway through the meet, Eli Fouts (Manchester Farm) earned a spot in the record books when he prevailed in the 13-14 boys’ 50 backstroke (27.11). Fouts would also set the league standard in the 13-14 boys’ 50 breaststroke (30.79). Emily Wang, who swims for Upper County in Gaithersburg, won the 13-14 girls 50 back (30.18) and 50 ﬂy (29.27).

Perhaps the most impressive performance of the day was delivered by Carsten Vissering (Old Georgetown) who won the 15-18 boys 100 breaststroke (1:00.74). In her ﬁnal meet with the MCSL, Anna Kolanowski, a 2013 Sherwood High graduate and rising sophomore at the University of Georgia who competes for Bethesda, won the 15-18 girls’ 50 butterfly

Rockville High School girls’ basketball coach Frank Weaver is asking for volunteers and donations for the third annual Lily’s Hope Golf Beneﬁt, held Aug. 10 at the West Winds Golf Club in New Market. Proceeds will go to the Patty Pollatos Fund, a non-proﬁt raising money for victims of cancer and other ailments. The Lily’s Hope foundation was created in 2011 to help the Weaver family cope with medical expenses after their daughter, Lily, was diagnosed with Ewing’s sarcoma, a rare form of bone cancer. Lily’s health has improved drastically since her diagnosis, Weaver said. “The goal is to help other people,” Weaver said. “... The people helped us, we’re just trying to give back.” The event is scheduled for 1 p.m. beginning with a golf tournament and continuing with happy hour, a concert (Fuzzy Match) and dinner.

On the ‘big stage’ at a smaller school Blake alumnus set to be feature back at Monmouth

KENT ZAKOUR STAFF WRITER

After graduating from James H. Blake High School in 2010, Kwabena Asante was prepared to fulﬁll a dream. He was going to the “big stage,” which for him meant playing major Division I college football. But following a redshirt season in the fall of 2010 at West Virginia University, Asante — for one reason or another — was in search of a better opportunity. He ended up transferring to Monmouth University, a Divi-

sion I-Football Championship Subdivision school, and has flourished in the Hawks program. When players report Sunday for the start of training camp, the 5-foot-11, 215-pound ﬁfthyear senior is expected to be Monmouth’s primary running back this fall. Asante split time in 2013 with former starter Julian Hayes, but is prepared to shoulder a heavier workload because Hayes was dismissed from the team during the offseason for a violation of school and team policy. “I feel like I am a pretty balanced running back,” Asante said in a recent phone interview. “I can run with power, can

get to the edge, catch the ball out of the backfield and get tough yards when we need it.” Since transferring, Asante, a business administration major, has gradually become more and more of a key component to Monmouth’s offense. In 2011, he was strictly a special teams contributor. As a sophomore, he appeared in all 10 games (two starts) and rushed for 469 yards. Last year, he played in all 12 games, running for eight touchdowns and 1,080 yards (6.0 yards per carry), the sixthhighest total in program history for a single season. First-year Monmouth offensive coordinator Kevin Morris said he was impressed with Asante on and off the field during spring practice and throughout the offseason. The Hawks are set to begin their first campaign as a member of the Big South Conference next month. “He’s a very strong-looking young man,” Morris said. “... We will have a tailback-orientated offense that lets him carry the load.” Asante, who was named to the College Football Performance Awards Preseason Watch List as one of 38 returning student athletes vying for the top running back award in the FCS, was a 2009 All-Gazette second team selection who ran for 2,711 yard in his final two years at Blake. “KB’s always been a hard worker willing to do whatever it takes,” said Blake coach Tony Nazzoro, who added that he’s kept track of Asante’s career through various media outlets. “Once he found the right situation for him — if he stayed at West Virginia, I believe he would’ve been able succeed and find the field — at Monmouth he’s been able to flourish.” Added Asante: “I’ve had a great opportunity [in college]. ... I’ve grown up and received a good education.” kzakour@gazette.net
