A Montgomery County Circuit Court judge is expected to rule this week on a request by group of Potomac residents to temporarily stop Pepco from cutting down trees on their property. Judge Michael D. Mason agreed to hear only four hours of

inquisition and Pepco’s claims that the trees must be removed not simply pruned. Several plaintiffs testified during the hearing that none of the titles to their homes mentioned the easement, and that every time they tried to work with Pepco on the issue, they were told that state law, not the easement, gave the utility no choice. Goldstein asked several plaintiffs to explain why the trees were important.

right to remove the trees under a 1950s document, known as an “inquisition,” an easement which gives it the right to remove trees at its discretion that are within 75 feet of its property line. Plaintiffs’ attorney Jeffrey Goldstein argued that Pepco has shown a lack of good faith and fair dealing in with his clients — the owners of four properties in the Potomac Crest development — and that the court should grant the injunction to allow for a full case on the issue. Plaintiffs questions the legality of the

Wootton was different than she expected, not like the schools in movies she had seen, Szimkowski said Friday. She said she hadn’t expected Americans to be as welcoming as they were. She said she would love to come back and see more of America, including traveling to the West Coast. The group was made up of 12 students and two teachers from the Theodor Heuss Schule in Rockville’s sister city of Pinneberg, Germany. They arrived on

Montgomery County police ofﬁcials say they plan to slowly expand a program that places cameras on school buses to allow time to analyze where the cameras should go. Montgomery County Council President Craig Rice said, however, that he wants to see a quicker pace when it comes to

adding the cameras that catch drivers who illegally pass a stopped school bus. The county has 25 cameras installed on Montgomery County Public Schools buses to catch individuals who drive past a bus while its stop arm is extended with ﬂashing red lights. The cameras were placed on bus routes with the highest number of passing violations. The county is leasing the 25 cameras under a contract costing about $250,000 per year. The cameras have captured

Why do something the old-fashioned way when modern technology can produce equally good results more easily? That’s where Rockville artist Bobbie Gilbert Kogok stands philosophically with her work — although she is quick to point out that technology alone does not do the work. “You still have to know how to draw,” Kogok said. “Every line is yours.” Kogok, 59, just ﬁnished writing and illustrating her third children’s book, “Percival Pig Finds His Manners” (LifeRich Publishing). It was all done on her computer tablet using a program called Paper. The drawings of Percival and his surroundings look like watercolor paintings in Kogok’s book. She demonstrated how she achieves the effect digitally. The computer program offers several drawing tools and ways to select colors and blend them. With either her ﬁnger or the tip of a stylus, Kogok mutes the colors, giving them a washed effect.

Annual activities help foster acceptance n

Rockville girl collects items for elephant sanctuary

PEGGY MCEWAN STAFF WRITER

Highlights of the Oct. 6-10 Special Needs Awareness Week at Wayside Elementary School in Potomac included a battle of the bands and first-hand experience with challenges faced by many disabled people. Each year, Wayside hosts a weeklong series of activities to help students foster acceptance of the unique needs of their friends and neighbors with special needs. On Oct. 7, the school hosted Jesse Magee, who is legally blind and has cerebral palsy. Magee and members of his band, Rock-Able, shared original music with the students and he told them the story of his life. The Battle of the Bands pitted the Rock-Ables against a band of Wayside staff members. Later that week, first- and third-graders participated in interactive simulations where they experienced some of the challenges that people with certain disabilities face. Students tried to perform everyday activities while blindfolded or communicated using assistive technology devices and performed fine motor activities while wearing socks or gloves on their hands. Wayside’s program was praised in 2012 by Chrisandra Richardson, associate superintendent of special education for Montgomery County Public Schools, and recognized as an “Outstanding Program” in 2011 by Montgomery County Council of PTA’s special education sub committee.

Miriam Gardsbane, 11, of Rockville, continues her mission to protect abused elephants. Miriam, a fifth-grader at Sandy Spring Friends School, started an elephant rescue project called “They Deserve To Be Free.” Her affection for pachyderms started a couple of years ago, when an aunt living in Kenya gave her a unique birthday gift — an “adopted” elephant at the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust in Kenya. She then got to visit “her” elephant, Naipoki. Over the winter, Miriam and her mother Arlene watched a documentary, which depicted the horriﬁc abuse of elephants. They also learned about the Elephant Nature Park in Thailand and became determined to help Lek Chailert, the woman who runs the sanctuary. She rallied classmates, friends, family and members of her synagogue to join her in making elephants out of clay, a project that took several weekends to complete. Miriam sold them to friends and at the Olney Farmers and Artists Market, raising more than $2,000 for the Elephant Nature Park in Thailand. She and her family are going to Thailand in November to

visit the park and hope to bring needed items for the animals. A wish list is available at www. saveelephant.org/thailand-cares. Donations can be dropped off at the Animal Place Veterinary Hospital in Aspen Hill, 13818 Georgia Ave. Miriam can be reached at theydeservetobefree@gmail. com.

Chili Cook-off winners The Olney Farmers and Artists Market announced the winners of its Third Annual Chili Cook-off, held Oct. 5: • Scott Minnich, ﬁrst place, Texas Chili • Tony Laing, second place, Vegetarian Supreme Chili • Trung Nguyen of Dalat Deli, third place, Spicy Tender Steak Chili • Abu Uqdah’s Beef Chili was named the People’s Choice winner. The judges were Dr. Alex Naini, a WUSA-TV commentator; Freddy Turim of Eat A Little Something Catering; Greg Cooke of Falcon Ridge Farm and last year’s winner; and Tatiana Pelegreen, co-host of The Pablo Show on WPGC 95.5 FM. The market will take place from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m each Sunday at the hospital thrift shop grounds, at Md. 108 and Prince Philip Drive in Olney, through Nov. 2.

With Rockville festival, F. Scott Fitzgerald’s literary legacy lives on 18th F. Scott Fitzgerald Literary Festival to be held this weekend n

RYAN MARSHALL STAFF WRITER

Famous Jazz Age author F. Scott Fitzgerald’s final resting place is in Rockville, but his legacy is alive in an annual festival to be held in the city this weekend. The F. Scott Fitzgerald Literary Festival will be Saturday in downtown Rockville. Fitzgerald is buried in the cemetery of St. Mary’s Church on Veirs Mill Road, along with his wife Zelda, daughter “Scottie” and other relatives. The festival is not a typical literary conference geared toward academics, said Eleanor Heginbotham, one of the festival’s organizers. The panels and dis-

cussions are geared to be friendly toward the public, she said. Fitzgerald has continued to capture people’s imagination partly because he and Zelda lived a very glamorous life, said Jackson Bryer, a professor emeritus of English at the University of Maryland and president of the organization that sponsors the festival. The tumultuous marriage has become part of popular culture “for all the wrong reasons as well as the right reasons,” he said. The enduring appeal of Fitzgerald’s “The Great Gatsby” and other works have also driven people’s fascination. People fall in love with the story and characters in “Gatsby,” as well as the poetry and style of the writing, Bryer said. The novel often divides students along the lines of those who think Gatsby is a fool and others who see him as a yearning ideal-

ist, he said. “It kind of separates the business majors from the English majors,” Bryer said. The event will actually begin Thursday, with a literary luncheon at the Mansion at Strathmore in Bethesda. Friday will feature readings and discussion on “Writing the War Experience” with writers Ron Capps, Katey Schultz and James T. Matthews at the Writer’s Center in Bethesda. Saturday will include a full schedule of events, discussions and workshops, including a master’s class by writer James Salter and a discussion with panelists sharing their favorite passages in Fitzgerald’s work, including journalist Jim Lehrer and author Alice McDermott. Salter will also receive the 2014 F. Scott Fitzgerald Award, which since 1996 has been given

to writers including William Styron, Joyce Carol Oates, E.L. Doctorow, Norman Mailer, John Updike and Elmore Leonard. Heginbotham is a professor emerita at Concordia University in St. Paul, Minn., the city where Fitzgerald was born in 1896. When she moved back to Maryland, she got involved in the festival to help celebrate one of her favorite authors. Fitzgerald had deep roots in Maryland, and did a lot of writing in the state, Heginbotham said. His father Edward Fitzgerald was from a prominent family in the county, and young Scott often visited the family’s farm, Locust Grove. The festival is about bringing people together who love Fitzger-

ald, said Roberta Mandrekas of Montgomery College. Any time you read Fitzgerald, something is bound to resonate with you, Mandrekas said. When Fitzgerald died in 1940, sales of his books were inﬁnitesimally small, Bryer said. But his legend was still big enough that between 20 and 30 papers wrote obituaries or editorials, although most celebrated him simply as a bard of the Jazz Age, an “exemplar of a time gone by,” Bryer said. It wasn’t until the 1950s that critics began to regard Fitzgerald as more than just a naturally talented dilettante, and “The Great Gatsby” became recognized as a classic of American literature, Bryer said.

Fitzgerald’s reputation also suffered during his lifetime through comparisons to his contemporary, rival and sometimefriend Ernest Hemingway. Hemingway was larger than life, and his books sold much better, Bryer said. As result, Fitzgerald envied Hemingway’s commercial success and Hemingway thought Fitzgerald was the superior stylist. In its 18th year, the festival honoring Fitzgerald’s legacy continues because even today Heginbotham believes people have a tangible connection to the author. “In our culture, in our ethos, we breathe him,” she said. rmarshall@gazette.net

Popular Community Night and Taste of Olney return next week Annual event set for Oct. 20 at Good Counsel n

TERRI HOGAN STAFF WRITER

The Olney Chamber of Commerce’s 35th annual Community Night and Taste of Olney return on Monday night, and organizers expect this year’s event to be bigger and better than ever before. The event takes place from 4:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Our Lady of Good Counsel High School, 17301 Old Vic Blvd., in Olney. Admission is free, but visitors are asked to bring a nonperishable food item to restock the pantry shelves at Olney Help. “This is the event to be at in Olney,” said Robyn Quinter of Quinter Designs, who is co-chairing the event with her husband John. “We expect record attendance and a record number of exhibitors and restaurants. This is a great opportunity for residents to learn about the Olney business community,

nonproﬁts and eateries. It’s sort of a microcosm of Olney, all in one evening.” After many years of holding Community Night at Longwood Community Center, organizers realized the event had outgrown the venue. It was held at Good Counsel for the ﬁrst time last year, drawing a record crowd of 4,500 visitors. Even though last year was an incredible success, Quinter says that a great deal of planning has gone into

improving this year’s event. “We’ve done a lot more to attract people to the exhibits,” she said. “This includes an improved floor plan, centralized ticket sales, and improved traffic flow and parking.” Quinter said that as of Monday, about 90 exhibitors were registered. “In addition to many return exhibitors, we have several new ones, including the Montgomery County Department of Economic Development, Brooke Run Trees, the University of Maryland Terrapin Club, and The Goddard School.” Other exhibitors include eldercare facilities, schools, financial services, realtors, health care and service providers, and home-based businesses. The event includes children’s activities as well as live demonstrations and entertainment provided by local school music ensembles, dance studios and martial arts academies. There will be a special performance by the actress who portrays Ariel in the Olney Theatre’s upcoming production of The Little Mermaid.

Silent auction items include catering by Chipotle, bedroom painting, rounds of golf, birthday party packages, photo sessions and a rental of the Brookeville Academy. Paper bag rafﬂe prizes range from themed baskets to a variety of gift cards to local restaurants, salons and other businesses. The Taste of Olney, held in the school’s dining hall beginning at 5 p.m., will feature 12 restaurants, with a wide variety of offerings. Participating restaurants include newcomers Café Rio and Vegetable Garden, with returning favorites such as Mamma Lucia, Olney Bagel Bakery, Al Sospiro, GrillMarx, Inn at Brookeville Farms, Rita’s Italian Ice, Angelo’s Deli, Urban Bar-B-Que, Taste Gastropub, and the Winery at Olney. This year’s sponsors include Good Counsel, The Carl M. Freeman Companies Inc. and Brooke Grove Retirement Village; as well as the Lions Club. “Olney boasts a wide variety of businesses and organizations, many that are beyond the familiar storefronts,”

Montgomery schools see enrollment jump of 3,000 students Starr says he will try to restore construction projects that were cut

LINDSAY A. POWERS STAFF WRITER

Montgomery County Public Schools gained another 2,941 students this school year, according to preliminary numbers discussed at the county school board’s Tuesday meeting. That ﬁgure moves the system’s total enrollment to 154,230 students, Bruce Crispell, director of the school system’s Division of Long-range Planning told the board. Final enrollment numbers will be released at the end of the month. By 2020, the system’s enrollment is projected to hit more than 165,000 students, Crispell said. Even with added space from currently approved construction projects, he said, the system expects its schools to face signiﬁcant overcapacity. Superintendent Joshua P. Starr said at the meeting that, after construction projects the

school board requested last year were delayed due to a lack of funding, he aims to restore the project schedule as much as possible. Starr will make his recommendations for amendments to the system’s Capital Improvements Program budget Oct. 28. The school system needs to make its capital needs “very clear” and push for legislation at the state level, Starr said. If the school system doesn’t get the capital funding it needs, Starr said, “overutilization will become prevalent across the county and at all school levels.” Under the capital projects program for ﬁscal 2015 through 2020 — already approved by the Montgomery County Council — five new schools have opened or are scheduled to open and 14 revitalization and expansion projects will be completed. The approved projects are set to add 316 classrooms over that time frame, most at the elementary level. Crispell said the school district still expects to see space deﬁcits in 2020. The system is “so far behind” when it comes to elementary capacity, he said, and

needs the funding to carry out its plans to combat the growth. He said he thinks that, with the right funding, the system can “get ahead” of the growth at middle and high schools. School system projections for 2020 show that many high schools will have more students than seats, with Clarksburg, Walter Johnson and Northwood high schools possibly facing some of the more significant deficits. While the system continued to see growth overall, Crispell said, it saw a decline in the size of its kindergarten class — about 329 fewer students — for the first time in many years. That decline stems from lower birth rates during the recession, he said. Among the different school levels, elementary schools saw the largest growth spurt with 1,233 more students in kindergarten through the fifth grade, he

said. Crispell said a “wave” of students that started in elementary schools is expected to cause an enrollment peak in middle schools in about six years and that shift is already evident. Hispanic students once again make up a larger percentage of the total enrollment, he said, as white student enrollment has trended down. In kindergarten through the second grade, Hispanic students remain the largest student group and represent 31.1 percent of enrollment for those grades. White students represent 29.2 percent. The numbers of AfricanAmerican and Asian students are also growing, though not as quickly, he said. School board President Phil Kauffman asked Crispell if it looked as if the system could accommodate the student growth

expected at high schools with portables or if another school might be needed. Crispell said he could not describe the recommendations coming out later this month, but that the issue would be addressed. Board member Christopher Barclay said he is concerned that capacity and academic challenges are affecting some of the system’s “most impacted” middle schools at the same time. “I just feel like the trains are

getting ready to collide in the worst of ways,” he said. It is “critical” to continue advocating in Annapolis, board member Shirley Brandman said. Board Vice President Patricia O’Neill agreed that more resources should come from the state. “It can’t just continue to be a local responsibility,” she said. “It’s gotta require some infusion of additional state money.” lpowers@gazette.net

Change to Rockville code would allow some chickens

Proposal would let residents keep up to ﬁve hens at single-family homes n

RYAN MARSHALL STAFF WRITER

A proposed change to Rockville’s animal control laws could allow residents to own small numbers of chickens. The changes to the city code suggested by Councilwoman Julie Palakovich Carr would let residents keep up to ﬁve chickens per single-family home, while outlawing the keeping of roosters. The fowl would be prohibited in townhomes, apartment buildings or other buildings where multiple families live. The code changes, part of a larger revision to the city’s animal-related laws, would also regulate the location and construction of coops and cages. The changes are in keeping with many other jurisdiction that allow chickens, including Annapolis, Baltimore and New York City, Palakovich Carr said at Monday’s mayor and council meeting. The language is a starting point for discussion, since the Animal Matters Board is reviewing the issue and she expects to make changes based on its feedback, she said. The proposal drew support from several residents who spoke Monday night. Sabina Mastle, 12, told the mayor and council that living with chickens can help teach children responsibility, and the eggs they provide could help save her family trips to the supermarket. “Please allow us to keep backyard chickens,” she said. Suzanne Sutton of Rockville said her daughter raised chickens when she was younger, and the experience was a good one. The chickens’ droppings are easy to collect and compost, and the noise of hens is minimal, Sutton said. She said her neighbor across the road didn’t even know her family had chickens until she mentioned it. Keeping chickens can also be a valuable reminder for children and others of where our food comes from, Sutton said. Clark Reed, chairman of the city’s Environment Commission, said the current animal control ordinance banning chickens blocks access to local food by preventing residents from owning egg-laying hens. “We are in the midst of a massive urban agricultural renaissance,” Reed said. Palakovich Carr’s other changes would require all dogs, cats and ferrets older than 4 months old to be licensed and wear a license tag and collar at all times when not at their homes, allow the city’s animal control units to trap, neuter and release feral cats, change the requirements for how animals can be tethered outside and the requirements for providing them with shelter and update the city’s schedule of fees and ﬁnes for violations. Palakovich Carr will host a town hall meeting in the Black

A 345-year-old violin ﬁnds its voice Violinist Chee-Yun to play in North Bethesda n

Open house connects teachers with area’s outdoor opportunities Class of 2015 must meet environmental literacy standards

ELIZABETH WAIBEL

STAFF WRITER

When Chee-Yun bought her antique violin in 1991, she knew little about it other than the fact that she loved the quality and sweetness of its sound. Chee-Yun Kim, who in her career as a professional violinist is known as Chee-Yun, knew that the violin was made in 1669 by Francesco Ruggeri, a master Italian violin maker. She knew that it had belonged to one family for generations, and that although it was more than 300 years old, it looked brand new. “I really wanted to know the history of it, but nobody could really tell me anything about it,” she said. Last year, during a question-and-answer session at a concert in Israel, a man in the audience said his father used to play a Ruggeri violin too, CheeYun said. The man said his father used to wonder about the 1669 Ruggeri violin — the only violin Ruggeri made that year — which belonged to a man in a Scandinavian country. “He said the owner of the violin loved the violin so much, that it was his desire to be buried with it,” Chee-Yun said. It’s possible that the Norwegian family that owned the

Violinist Chee-Yun is scheduled to play with the National Philharmonic at the Music Center at Strathmore in North Bethesda on Oct. 18 and 19. 1669 violin had it disinterred to sell at some point, Chee-Yun said, which could explain why it looked so new when she purchased it. She said the sound of the instrument also changed and improved after she played it for a few months. “The sound of the violin had sort of woken up as well,” she said. This weekend, she is scheduled to play “Concerto for Violin” by composer Jean Sibelius at the Music Center at Strathmore in North Bethesda. “Sibelius is one of the most ... difﬁcult, challenging, but at the same time most popular violin repertoire [pieces] that is being played,” she said, adding that the piece showcases the skill of the orchestra, solo vio-

Montgomery Parks offered county teachers a lesson in environmental education opportunities with its annual Educators’ Open House on Thursday. Twenty-one exhibitors set up booths in the parks’ Shady Grove Training Facility in Rockville to introduce teachers to local resources available for environmental education and field trips. “The state passed environmental literacy standards required for graduation,” said Stephanie Oberle, director of Brookside Gardens in Wheaton. “Schools are required to figure out how the idea is integrated into [the] curriculum.” The high school graduating class of 2015 will be the first affected by the new law, Oberle said. She said she thinks environmental education will most obviously fit in with math and social studies classes. For example, when students are collecting data they are using math skills, she said. Discussing man’s effect on the environment is a social studies or government and politics lesson. Jennifer Chen, a fifth-grade teacher at Woodlin Elementary School in Silver Spring, was at the fair looking for field trip opportunities for her students. She was with Elizabeth Hum, a third-grade teacher at Wyngate Elementary in Bethesda. “I definitely saw some things we can use,” Hum said.

PEGGY MCEWAN STAFF WRITER

The Bethesda Row Arts Festival, featuring four blocks of outdoor art exhibits, hands-on art activities for children and live music, will have something new this year. Two Walt Whitman High School seniors will be creating a replica of the bronze bull that stands in front of the New York Stock Market. Chelsea Markus of Bethesda and Sarah Campbell of Derwood accepted the challenge to create the bull and have begun to work on the chicken wire framework. They will complete the sculpture during the festival which will be held 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday. Their project is sponsored by Capital Assets Management Group of Bethesda, one of the festival’s festival, to build awareness of the services it offers local residents, Robin Markowitz, director of the festival, said. Now in its 17th year, the festival will be held along Woodmont and Bethesda avenues, Bethesda Lane and Elm Street, east of Arlington Road.

Rainbow Place offers winter shelter for women n

RYAN MARSHALL STAFF WRITER

A Rockville shelter that provides winter housing for homeless women will hold a fundraising walk on Sunday. The Rainbow Place 2014 Shelter Walk will begin at 11:30 a.m. at the Rockville Presbyterian Church at 215 W. Montgomery Ave. The walk will go around the Town Square area and last about 1½ miles, said Chrissy Stuart, a volunteer at the shelter who is helping to promote the walk. The shelter is open from November through April, from 6:30 p.m. until 7 a.m., and gives women a place to eat dinner, shower and sleep, Stuart said. There are also counselors to help women prepare resumes

and develop other skills, she said. Stuart said the shelter used to partner with Fannie Mae, who runs a similar event in Washington, D.C., but has been doing it on its own for several years. Usually about 100 people register for the walk, she said. This year, the shelter is partnering with Richard Montgomery High School, and has a lot of students participating, Stuart said. Rockville Mayor Bridget Donnell Newton and Gaithersburg Mayor Sidney Katz will lead the walk. Registration fees are $60 for families, $35 for adults and $25 for children 17 and younger. Registration can be done online at www.rainbowplace.org or by mailing donations made payable to “Rainbow Place” to Rainbow Place, 215 W. Montgomery Ave., Rockville, MD 20850. rmarshall@gazette.net

Rockville residents with city water and sewer services will face rising rates in coming years as the city looks to secure its funds for the utilities and protect its future credit rating. The mayor and council heard a presentation from a consulting ﬁrm Monday night on how rate increases might be implemented, with a public hearing scheduled for Nov. 10. The city provides water and sewer services for about 13,000 accounts, or around 70 percent of the city’s residents. The others, including the King Farm

and College Gardens neighborhoods and parts of Twinbrook and Potomac Woods, are served by the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission. Because the services don’t serve all city residents, the water and sewer funds are kept separately from the city’s general fund. According to a memorandum from city staff, at the end of ﬁscal 2014 on June 30, 2014, the city’s water fund had a negative balance of $13.1 million and the sewer fund a negative balance of $8.3 million. Informal loans from the city’s general fund cover the shortfalls. In a 2014 credit analysis, the credit rating agency Moody’s warned that the city’s AAA bond rating — which affects the rate it costs the city to borrow money — could be

downgraded if the funds continue to require support from the general fund. The issue is definitely “something that’s on Moody’s watch list,” Finance Director Gavin Cohen told the mayor and council Monday. He said that when he meets with the rating agencies in November, he’d like to be able to tell them the city has a plan for dealing with the problem. That should allow the city to avoid a downgrade of its bond rating. “They really like to see plans in place,” Cohen said. Part of the city’s problem is that it has seen a decrease in demand for water in recent years. Water and sewer systems around the country have seen decreases in demand, said Andrew Burnham, senior vice president of the consult-

ing ﬁrm Burton & Associates, which conducted the rate study for the city. Increases in technology, better conservation and customers who got used to using less water during the recession have all been behind the decrease, he said. Monday’s presentation will be posted on the city’s website ahead of the Nov. 10 public hearing, Cohen said. After the public hearing, staff will come back to the mayor of council on Nov. 24 for direction on how they’d like to proceed, with introduction and possible adoption of an ordinance at a later day. Cohen said he’s hoping to ﬁnish the process by the end of the year. rmarshall@gazette.net

Braces-themed jewelry aims to make orthodontics more fun n

Company also raises money for charity

ELIZABETH WAIBEL STAFF WRITER

A product developed by Chevy Chase dentists and their family is designed to make having braces a little bit more fun. Bracket Ears are earrings designed to look like braces, complete with interchangeable colors. Dr. Casey Crafton, a dentist who runs Crafton Dental in Columbia with his wife, Dr. Lisa Crafton, said he and his daughters started talking about

Bracket Ears more than two years ago. His son Christopher was taking part in a bike ride to raise money for autism advocacy, and his daughters, McKenzie and Gigi, had the idea to create a product that could also raise money for good causes. “Somehow, an earring that looks like braces kind of stuck,” Crafton said. Instead of a gem, the post earrings have brackets that look just like the ones orthodontists put on teeth. Colored rubber bands allow people to change the look. “The plan was to sell it to dental practices, and we ﬁgured we’d try to do it that way and

then donate a portion of the proceeds to autism [advocacy],” Crafton said. To date, Crafton estimates that the company has raised close to $40,000 for various nonprofit organizations. A dental manufacturing company now distributes Bracket Ears to dentists. Bracket Ears also sells the earrings at cost to nonprofits that want to use them for fundraisers, Crafton said. “As they were doing the dental side, we started reaching out a little bit more to the nonprofit side,” Crafton said. Stores can sell the jewelry too if they pledge to give a per-

centage of the proﬁts to a charity of their choice, Crafton said. “I just want to make sure a portion [goes to charity],” he said. “I don’t want to limit people as to whatever group they [donate to].” Look Boutique in Olney is among those selling Bracket Ears, he said. Bracket Ears has since expanded to sell bracelets made from charms that look like brackets, earrings with seasonal charms attached and miniature earrings for American Girl dolls. McKenzie, 14, and Gigi, 11, hold patents for the bracelets they designed, Crafton said. ewaibel@gazette.net

Metro adds major work on Bethesda, Silver Spring stations to list n

Months of weekend closures expected to begin in 2016 BY

ELIZABETH WAIBEL STAFF WRITER

Metro is planning to shut down several stations in Bethesda for 14 weekends in 2016 for repairs. The shutdown between Friendship Heights and Medical Center was selected because it was deemed not as bad as closing the stations around the

clock for ﬁve entire weeks, according to a report submitted Thursday to the Customer Service and Operations Committee of Metro’s Board of Directors. The transit authority wants to ﬁx leaks that have caused problems in that area of the Red Line since the stations opened 20 years ago, according to the report. Metro is spending $3 million to $4 million each year to pump, dredge and clean the tunnel and keep trains running, the report says. Metro’s planned concrete work to fix the leaks requires closing the

Bethesda and Medical Center stations, according to the report. While the weekend closures are going on, the transit authority also plans to get some work done on other projects in the area, including replacing tiles on the outdoor platform at Grosvenor-Strathmore station, retroﬁtting the pillars supporting the tracks above Md. 355 and Interstate 495 near Grosvenor-Strathmore station, and rehabbing the tunnel between the Grosvenor-Strathmore and Friendship Heights stations. Crews also plan to begin a new

mezzanine at the Bethesda station in anticipation of the Purple Line light rail station to be built there. That work involves opening one side of the Metro station to build a new entrance, plus work on elevators, electrical work, building a new kiosk and putting in a fare collection system, according to the board report. Lest riders of the Silver Spring leg of the Red Line think they’ve been left out, the report also says that the Maryland Transit Administration is expected to request weekend shutdowns starting in

2017 to build a Purple Line rail over the Metro tracks north of the Silver Spring Metro station. Crews also may either modify the existing station mezzanine to facilitate connections to the light-rail line or build a new mezzanine linking the Metro station and planned Purple Line station. As The Gazette previously reported, work on escalators at the Bethesda station is ongoing and is expected to continue into 2017. ewaibel@gazette.net

The Montgomery County Board of Education is asking Maryland school officials to wait two years before requiring that students pass new state tests to graduate. “We think there are lots of reasons, for a test that is high stakes for children, we should be giving it a little bit more time,” county school board President Phil Kauffman said Wednesday. Kauffman voiced the school board’s concern regarding the use of the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness of College and Careers test results in a Tuesday letter to State Superintendent Lillian M. Lowery and state school board President Charlene Dukes. The PARCC tests, which align with the Common Core State Standards, were piloted in the state last school year and will be fully implemented this school year. Maryland students will need to earn certain scores

— yet to be determined — on the Algebra 1 and English 10 PARCC tests to graduate. William Reinhard, a spokesman for the Maryland State Department of Education, said the requirement will not affect current 11th and 12th graders. Kauffman said in an interview that the Montgomery school board, which supports the new tests, thinks educators need more time to be prepared to teach the curriculum the tests are based on and for the school system to work through “the kinks of the testing process.” It will also take time for the state to determine the right passing scores for students, he said. In his letter, Kauffman said members of the Maryland Association of Boards of Education adopted a resolution at the group’s recent conference that supported a delay to give the state “sufﬁcient time” to determine passing scores and what “interventions and alternatives” would be available to students who didn’t pass. A delay is already in place in Maryland when it comes to using PARCC results in teacher and principal evaluations. The scores will not become a factor in those evaluations until the 2016-17 school year.

Lowery has been listening to comments, including those from local superintendents, and intends to provide a recommendation to the state school board regarding the issue of a delay “in the coming months,” Reinhard said. After the ﬁrst administration of the test this school year, he said, the state will develop “cut scores” for the Algebra 1 and English 10 tests in the summer of 2015. For both tests, there will be one score students need to earn to meet the graduation requirement. If they earn a second higher score, they will be considered ready for college or a career. Kauffman said he thinks it will be “confusing” for colleges and employers to interpret those two scores. In his letter, he also questioned what the use of the two scores would mean to students. Speaking about the delay request, Kauffman said county school ofﬁcials plan to pursue the issue. “If we don’t see change ... at the state level, this may be something that we would be seeking to be addressed legislatively,” he said. lpowers@gazette.net

Earle Palmer Brown dies at Potomac home Well known for roles in public relations, higher education n

LINDSAY A. POWERS STAFF WRITER

Earle Palmer Brown died at his home in Potomac on Oct. 1 following a life that involved work and leadership roles in multiple ﬁelds, including public relations, journalism and politics. Among his many roles, Brown ran his own public relations agency and was an important ﬁgure in starting The Universities at Shady Grove in Rockville. He was born in Long Island, N.Y., in 1922. A memorial service was held on Sunday in

Washington, D.C. Among the many leadership positions he held throughout his life, Brown at various points was president of the National Federation of Advertising Agencies, chairman of the Maryland State Chamber of Commerce, president of Congressional Country Club, president of Rosecroft Raceway in Fort Washington, and a founder of the Washington Tennis Patrons Foundation. He served as an adviser for a number of political campaigns. Brown started his own public relations agency in 1952 called Earle Palmer Brown. The ﬁrm grew from a one-man shop in Washington, D.C., to one of the biggest advertising and public relations ﬁrms in the region. Brown also served on the University System of Maryland

Debra Silverman said she and her husband David Silverman bought their home for the trees, adding that “any window of my home you looked out of showed greenery.” Pepco’s attorney, Glenn Etelson, argued that while taking down the trees is Pepco’s right, per the inquisition, that the utility determined the trees must go in good faith, fol-

BUS

Continued from Page A-1 about 825 violations since early January — a number that Montgomery County police Capt. Tom Didone described as an “unacceptable” amount. Drivers have paid about $78,000 total for those violations. Didone described the reasoning for a “slow grow approach” at a Monday joint meeting of the County Council’s education and public safety committees. It is “a slow, cumbersome process” to identify which bus routes should get the cameras, Didone said, and police and school staff have added the program work to their jobs and “we’re not really maximizing our effectiveness.” He also said he wants to be “ﬁscally prudent.”

Board of Regents for about 10 years. He was “really instrumental” in starting the Shady Grove campus, said Jack Murphy, a former editor at The Gazette who used to work with Brown. The campus currently hosts programs from nine universities in the state. Along with other founders of the higher education institution, Brown received an award from the campus recognizing his contributions. “He believed that a fouryear education campus was needed in Montgomery County, and one didn’t exist at the time,” Murphy said. From the early 1990s to the early 2000s, Brown wrote a column for The Gazette that covered topics such as politics and observations about life, Murphy said.

lowing the mandates of state law and with the public interest in mind. Lew Bloch, a consulting arborist with 50 years in the field, testified for the plaintiffs that he visually inspected both the entire line of trees affected in the Potomac Crest neighborhood, as well as the trees on plaintiffs’ properties and found that no trees needed to be removed. In his opinion, Pepco’s forester, Daniel Landry, was acting “arboriculturally in bad faith” by choosing to remove not prune the trees. “In arboriculture, our first job is to try and save trees,” he said. Landry, the defense expert and senior staff forester for Pepco, testified that state

“I don’t want to grow the program until I know that we need the resources, and we need to go there,” he said. Didone added he thinks there will be a point when more cameras will be needed. That next phase, he said, would add about 10 cameras costing another $100,000. It would also require the creation of a full-time position to manage the program and explore its “next steps.” Todd Watkins, the school system’s director of transportation, said he thinks the program has been slow to expand in part because full-time staff have taken on added tasks to help run it. He said he thinks adding a supervisor position would help speed up the process. Program staff are doing “a lot of data crunching” to identify more routes where cameras could be placed, Watkins said. Data is gathered from sources

Brown was “very funny,” “very smart” and “very astute,” he said. “He had a great way of looking at things,” Murphy said. Keith Haller, president and CEO of public relations and marketing research firm Potomac Incorporated, said he and Brown “were partners in many projects, many regional pursuits” and shared a love for sports and politics. “I considered Earle a mentor in many ways,” he said. He said he ﬁrst met Brown when they were working on opposite sides of a congressional campaign. Brown “really loved” the greater Washington region, where he saw “strength and identity,” Haller said.

law prevents Pepco from taking more than 25 percent of a tree’s canopy through pruning, yet new state regulations for reliability require Pepco to prune enough that a tree will not be within 15 feet of a power line after four-years of growth. For the trees marked to be removed on the plaintiff’s properties, the defense argued that Pepco could not satisfy both requirements, making pruning not an option. If the judge rules in the residents’ favor on the motion, Goldstein said, the case will move to a ﬁnal hearing, when the court will determine if the injunction becomes permanent. kalexander@gazette.net

including bus drivers, citizens and police. Rice, chairman of the council’s education committee, said he wants to “ramp this up” while being tactical. If there is a need for a new position so the program can expand, he said, then the council has to fund it. He said after the meeting that he wants to see a quicker approach to identifying routes and installing the cameras on buses. While the county doesn’t have the money to put a camera on every bus, he said, he wants the county to look at how to keep expanding the program. Rice said he thinks it’s clear that “we still don’t have enough people out there who understand the severity of this crime.” While there is a plan is to install wiring on 100 buses so the cameras can be moved around, “only 10” buses have been outﬁtted so far beyond the buses

currently holding the devices, Didone said, again pointing to the difficulty of analyzing which routes are the best to include. Didone said “the larger end of the program,” if expansion continued, would ultimately be around 100 cameras. Rice, along with county council members Phil Andrews (D-Dist. 3) of Gaithersburg and Roger Berliner (D-Dist. 1) of Bethesda, again voiced support for increasing the fine drivers pay when caught by one of the cameras. The council passed a resolution in the spring urging Chief Judge John P. Morrissey of the District Court of Maryland to increase the fine — which now stands at $125 — “possibly up to $250 maximum amount allowed by State law.” lpowers@gazette.net

Fiona Bishop-Murphy, 15, a sophomore at Wootton. She had taken a “magic” trip to Pinneberg in June with a group of Wootton students, where she met Oehmann. She said she loved Germany and was surprised to ﬁnd that it was much less industrial than she had expected. U.S. students don’t learn a lot about other countries, and they should to become global citizens, she said. Fiona came home from that trip talking about how much Germans use bicycles to get around, and was motivated to bike more herself, her mother Rachel Bishop said. It’s important for kids to realize that countries are different, yet still the same in a lot of ways, Bishop said. If you can plant those seeds early, it can create an impression for life, she said.

Lawrence, “Larry,” Cutler Kristiansen, 83 years old of Darnestown, MD passed away on Thursday, October 9th, 2014. Larry was born March 19th, 1931 in Los Angeles to Karl and Lucy Kristiansen. He graduated from Yale University in 1953. He married Carolyn Eichler on March 27th, 1954. He loved golf, reading, history and caring for his family, home, and land. He is survived by his loving wife of 60 years, Carolyn, and four children: Linda Kristiansen Steinberg, Lisa Kristiansen, Larry Kristiansen, Jr., and Peter Kristiansen. A private service will be held.

know, and to reﬂect on themselves and make compromises, said Oliver Grosscurth, one of the Theodor Heuss Schule teachers who came on the trip. Traveling abroad is a chance to open themselves to something new and get to know another country’s culture, he said. Germany and America have totally different cultures, and representing Germany is also part of the reason for the trip, Grosscurth said. Many U.S. students have never met a German, and the trip is an opportunity for his students to show “a picture of the German person,” he said. Mike Dickel, an English teacher at Wootton who took the group of students to Pinneberg in June, said trips like these give students a chance to share their everyday lives with people in another culture and get some global understanding. It’s also a chance to make personal connections. “The friendships really are a big part of it,” he said. rmarshall@gazette.net

unaffected,” Knuppel said. The improvements will be paid for by Adventist HealthCare, Toll Brothers and Winchester Homes. “The infrastructure improvements are being paid for by the property owners,” Knuppel said, adding there is no county, state or federal funding involved. The road work will take place in phases in conjunction with construction of the Premium Outlets center, restaurants and other retailers, which is expected to open in the spring of 2016. “With each road improvement phase constructed, there are additional building permits ... that are permitted to be constructed within Cabin Branch,” Knuppel said in an email. “That way new road construction keeps pace with new development.” The road work will also include the straightening of a curve on Clarksburg Road west of the I-270 intersection. Planned for this location is a new intersection, with a road going south into Cabin Branch and a road going north to the 10-acre Gosnell hotel site, according to plans. Planned for the Gosnell site is a gas station, convenience store and employment space. Barry Gosnell, president of Gosnell Properties of Vienna, Va., could not immediately be reached on Monday for comment. Also part of the road work will be a new roundabout at the intersection of Clarksburg Road and Old Baltimore Road, Knuppel wrote. “Cabin Branch Management, LLC will also be designing, permitting, and constructing ‘new’ 121 from the interchange to the intersection with West Old Baltimore Road,” Knuppel said in an email. vterhune@gazette.net

OO! H O WO t time of a It’s th again! year “It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.”Albert Einstein. This sentiment is the reason why Mid-Atlantic Federal Credit Union (MAFCU) is proud to sponsor The Gazette’s My Favorite Teacher Contest.

Congratulations to Debora Boito of Gaithersburg!

“The teachers of Montgomery County assist in building the backbone to our communities’ future leaders. They help develop, instill qualities of character, challenge and educate all students in a positive manner. Mid-Atlantic Federal Credit Union wants to help recognize all teachers for their commitment to our students.” –MAFCU VP of Retail Delivery/Chief Lending Officer, Scott Ritter.

Debora was randomly selected to win an Amazon Kindle Fire HDX for nominating Ms. Angela Sease, her 5th grade classroom teacher at South Lake Elementary School. Here is what Debora had to share: “I am very blessed and excited to have won a Kindle Fire through the Gazette’s ‘My Favorite Teacher’ contest. Since it is my last year at South Lake Elementary School, Ms. Sease has pushed me beyond my comfort zone to believe in myself and trust in myself that I could do any assignment no matter what other peoples opinion were of me. At first, when I first heard about this contest, I didn’t really care because I thought this assignment was just a part of my grade. When I first started writing this essay after I got it back to correct it, I started putting more feelings about how I truly care about my teacher. Ms. Sease is the one and only teacher that makes me feel comfortable whenever I’m around her. She also understands me better than any other teacher in the past years. I am forever grateful to have a teacher like her and I will always remember her as I move on to middle school. “

OUROPINION

Hogan brings hope, in detail Today, The Gazette continues its endorsements for contested races in the Nov. 4 general election. Here’s what Maryland’s next governor will face when he is sworn in Jan. 21: an unemployment rate of 6.4 percent; $405 million less in revenue than earlier forecasts; and the likelihood the state’s property tax, now at 11.3 cents per $100 valuation, will need a 67 percent increase to cover the state’s debt. The question for Maryland’s voters on Nov. 4 will be which candidate — Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown (D) or Annapolis businessman Larry Hogan (R) — represents a better steward of our pocketbooks. After our editorial board conducted lengthy interviews with each candidate, it’s clear that Hogan would be the better choice. Brown offers an impressive resume, with time served in the Army and the House of Delegates before he was tapped by Gov. Martin O’Malley as his running mate. And he can take some measure of pride for the administration’s work on issues like the death penalty repeal and marriage equality. But where the O’Malley-Brown team might have excelled in policies, its decisions to increase a host of taxes backﬁred. Residents, already struggling to balance their personal budgets, have been overwhelmed as the government added taxes to balance its own books. Brown spoke of wanting to provide relief to working families, but he failed to say what that relief might be. He did

say he’d appoint a commission to ﬁnd opportunities in the tax code to aid Marylanders — but voters need details as they cast ballots, not vague possibilities. And Brown’s oversight of the failed health care exchange website further raises concerns regarding his leadership. Hogan, on the other hand, said his administration will focus on rolling back the 40 taxes and fees increased over the last eight years. He would bring agencies together to improve the regulatory environment. And he said Maryland, after he’s elected, would be “open for business.” He points to audits identifying about $2 billion in government agency waste and says eliminating those costs will allow for the elimination of some taxes and fees. While there are some questions regarding his math, it’s a strategy that should be pursued. To his credit, he’s realistic in acknowledging that the taxes can’t all go away at once, so he plans to prioritize those that hurt Marylanders the most. He also hopes to make retirement income tax-free in Maryland to stem the tide of seniors leaving for less expensive states. Finally, we’re impressed that Hogan, as appointments secretary for former Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr., understands the importance of reaching across party lines and working with the General Assembly. He promises to be less partisan than our last Republican governor and is in tune with the needs of Marylanders as they struggle to overcome the recession. For these reasons, The Gazette endorses Hogan for governor of Maryland.

Frosh would bring solid focus as AG The two men running to be Maryland’s next attorney general share many similarities. Both state Sen. Brian Frosh (D) and Baltimore attorney Jeffrey N. Pritzker (R) say they would partner with state’s attorneys around the state to work on complex cases. Both want to protect consumers from scam artists and both plan to vigorously attack identity theft and cybercrime, crimes of the future. But Pritzker also wants to buck the Annapolis power structure by questioning legislation. For example, he would challenge the “rain tax,” in which jurisdictions are charging fees to help pay for Chesapeake Bay cleanup. He wants assistant attorneys general to conduct cost-beneﬁt analyses of state regulations to help stem

the tide of Maryland losing businesses. Unfortunately, Pritzker isn’t describing an attorney general, an ofﬁce that plays an important role in working with the Annapolis power structure to ensure bills out of the General Assembly pass constitutional muster. He’s describing the job of an inspector general, who can ferret out government malfeasance. He might be the right person for that job. Pritzker would like to paint his opponent as part of the Annapolis power structure — Frosh is after all a committee chair — but Frosh has bucked leadership on important issues like gambling and money for stadiums. As attorney general, Frosh would offer a thoughtful alternative. He earns The Gazette’s endorsement.

Campbell bodes well for comptroller Serving as comptroller for eight years, Peter V.R. Franchot (D) has a history of throwing bombs. As one of three members of the Board of Public Works — the body that vets large state contracts — Franchot has railed against random expenditures. He proudly notes he objected in 2011 to the procurement that led to the health care website debacle. He doesn’t note if he performed any follow through, however. We can’t help but wonder whether a more ﬁscally responsible comptroller couldn’t have done more to rein in state spending. He’s also proud that Maryland taxpayers get their tax refund checks deposited into their accounts in 2.2 days, on average. Although no one wants their rightful refund delayed, how thoroughly are the returns screened for mistakes and fraud if the emphasis is on speedy deposits? Also, Franchot seems to contradict himself. In one breath, he warns against Maryland’s sputtering economic recovery and the difﬁculties of the middle class. Yet he fully supports Gov. Martin O’Malley’s veto of legislation that would have delayed construction of a wind farm by one year, a request by Southern Maryland legislators who were concerned the project would hurt radar testing at Patuxent River Naval Air Station. The St. Mary’s County installation, according to an O’Malley

The Gazette Karen Acton, President/Publisher

administration report, is responsible for $6.6 billion in economic activity and more than 41,000 jobs, earning $2.4 billion in compensation. O’Malley vetoed the legislation, prompting fears that the next round of base realignment and closures could divert jobs out of Maryland and onto other naval installations that lack restrictions. Franchot said he was proud of O’Malley for “speaking truth to power” over the issue. His opponent, Annapolis Republican William Campbell, has been the chief fiscal officer of organizations larger than the Maryland state government. He straightened out the books of the U.S. Coast Guard, which hadn’t been checked since its founding, and saved taxpayers $2.5 billion by renegotiating pharmaceutical contracts at the Department of Veterans Affairs. Campbell says the skills from those jobs can be translated to the state government. Finding new resources, he said, would allow the state to offset corporate taxes so they’re no more onerous than any state bordering Maryland. We find his goals laudable, and to weather the next few years, Maryland needs a belt-tightening comptroller with the financial expertise of a CFO. For that, Campbell wins The Gazette’s endorsement.

Is it the election of ’94, ’02 or ’10? By almost all accounts, 2014 is a Republican year. Most presidents lose congressional seats during their midterm elections and Barack Obama, drowning in the polls, is no exception. But the last three Republican years, nationally, played out differently in Maryland where during a midterm election, our state and local ofﬁces are up for grabs.

1994: Glendening vs Sauerbrey President Bill Clinton’s first midterm election was a Democratic disaster, the worst congressional losses for a president since 1958. House minority leader Newt Gingrich and 300 Republican candidates signed the “Contract with America,” a bold congressional reform measure that led to a Republican sweep of the Senate and House for the first time in 40 years. Gingrich replaced Democratic speaker Tom Foley, who lost his Washington congressional seat. In Maryland, Parris Glendening and Ellen Sauerbrey battled for the open governor’s office after Sauerbrey upset GOP favorite Helen Bentley in the primary. Sauerbrey ran on a 20 percent income tax cut platform that Democrats and the media ridiculed as a “gimmick.” But when Glendening needed absentee ballots to pull out a 5,993-vote victory (out of 1.5 million votes cast), the Democrats quickly enacted a 10 percent income tax cut of their own. Despite an overwhelming voter registration disparity (Dems 61.4 percent, GOP 29.5 percent), Sauerbrey almost won because Republican turnout (64.9 percent) exceeded Democratic turnout (60.9 percent), giving her 21 of Maryland’s 23 counties. Glendening won only Montgomery, PG and Baltimore city. And thanks to Sauerbrey’s coattails, Republicans won six state Senate seats and 15 delegates.

2002: Ehrlich vs Townsend Again, the governor’s seat was open during a Republican year when, only 14 months after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, America was rallying around President George W. Bush. Republicans added to their congressional majority and regained control of the U.S. Senate, defying the midterm jinx befalling most sitting presidents. Meanwhile, in Maryland, Bob Ehrlich caught a perfect wave that swept him into the governor’s mansion, Maryland’s ﬁrst GOP governor in 36 years. His opponent, Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, enjoyed an uncontested primary and across-theboard party and media support. But she was running in the wake of a very unpopular governor, Glendening, and her own image as a lightweight carpetbagger. When she picked a white former Republican as her running mate, black Dems cooled to her candidacy. Interestingly, voter turnout in the 2002 race (59.2 percent) was less than the 1994 Glendening/Sauerbrey tilt (60.7 percent). Like Glendening, KKT carried MoCo, PG and Baltimore city. But Ehrlich won by astronomical margins, more than Sauerbrey’s in 1994, in the other 21 counties. For instance, he carried central Maryland (Anne Arundel, Howard, Baltimore, Carroll, Harf-

ord and Frederick counties) by 100,000 more votes than Sauerbrey, almost twice his 57,621 victory margin over Townsend. The Republican surge also realigned politics in rural Maryland, where Dems such as House Speaker Cas Taylor in Western Maryland were replaced by more MY MARYLAND ideologically compatible BLAIR LEE Republicans. Eighth District Congresswoman Connie Morella (R) was defeated thanks to Democratic gerrymandering.

2010: O’Malley vs Ehrlich This was the nationwide tea party voter mutiny against Obamacare, the Wall Street bailouts, the federal stimulus and the skyrocketing national debt. Republicans won 63 seats and regained control of Congress while also gaining governorships in Dem states like Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan and Wisconsin. Obama called the election returns a “shellacking.” But the tea party rebellion completely bypassed Maryland, where Bob Ehrlich, in a comeback against Gov. Martin O’Malley, lost by 14 points and all the statewide Dems were easily re-elected. In the state legislature, the GOP picked up six House seats but lost two Senate seats. Only in Maryland’s rural counties was there a hint of voter dissatisfaction as local control passed to Republicans. Which takes us to 2014, another Republican year, nationally, but what about Maryland? Once again, the governor’s seat is vacant and, once again, there are clear signs of a voter rebellion. In one-party Maryland, it’s said that the only sure thing that Republicans have going for them is the Democrats. Left alone, the Dems will always go too far and create their own demise. When the Dems took back Maryland’s governorship in 2006, they immediately enacted the biggest tax increase in Maryland history (mostly regressive). But instead of paying a political price in 2010, they were easily re-elected emboldening them to pass even more taxes (gas tax, rain tax, alcohol tax and so on) until Marylanders are now paying $3.1 billion more, annually, than when Ehrlich was defeated in 2006. According to last week’s Washington Post poll, all those taxes are now Maryland voters’ top concern, even among young voters, and 55 percent of likely voters support repealing them (38 percent were opposed). But how will this manifest itself on Election Day? Will it be like 1994 when Sauerbrey’s near miss frightened the Dems into cutting taxes? Or will it be like 2002, enough to elect a Republican governor? Or will it be like 2010, when Maryland voters gave the incumbents the green light to keep on raising taxes?

Faulting The Gazette’s endorsements Thank you for your characterization of me as a likeable candidate even while damning me with faint praise.

Your 100 percent endorsement of the incumbents is a perfect example of why

Mr. Fiotes decided to ignore your invitation. He, among all us, was smart enough to avoid wasting his time on the futile hope at least one of us would get a favorable endorsement.

State House endorsements for Districts 14, 15 and 17 District 14 Senate Frank Howard (R) said he wants to be a voice that offers alternative ideas for the Democratic majority in the Maryland Senate. He offers great sincerity, and he says he’s not an ideologue. For example, Howard said he was opposed to an increase in the minimum wage but as he campaigned, he saw how it made a difference, and now supports an increase. But even if he’s sincere, he doesn’t offer a clear alternative other than he is an alternative. He’s running to unseat Karen Montgomery (D), who is running for her second term in the Maryland Senate; she served two terms in the House of Delegates. She is the mother of an adult child with autism, which gives her a unique perspective of how state and county regulations affect parents of special needs children. She said she would continue her ﬁght to make school systems prove students are getting the services they need. Currently, parents have to prove their children aren’t. She understands the county’s Ag Reserve needs more economically viable businesses providing more locally sourced food. For her experience and her thoughtfulness, she earns The Gazette’s endorsement.

District 14 House For the district’s delegates race, we think unequivocally Anne Kaiser, who has served as the county’s delegation chairwoman, deserves another term. She has become an important voice in Annapolis for Montgomery County. We are impressed with the ﬁrst terms of Eric Luedtke and Craig Zucker. Zucker is one of only three members from Montgomery County on the important Appropriations Committee, and

1932325

Luedtke, a teacher, represents education on the Ways and Means Committee. But with the county fully represented by Democrats at the state and county levels, we believe there’s something to the Republican bromide against one-party rule. And two of the Republicans running for state office in Montgomery are Michael Ostroff and Patricia Fenati. Ostroff, an attorney, says he has seen the frustrations of the people facing foreclosures. He wants a financial literacy requirement in our schools so graduates understand credit card interest and how to fill out a loan application. Fenati, a former IT professional who lives in Damascus, worries that the education system has low expectations, which can lead to a lifetime of underachievement. She doubts the so-called rain tax and wonders why Maryland isn’t insisting on dredging behind the Conowingo Dam. We believe Ostroff and Fenati will bring alternative perspectives and work in a bipartisan manner to improve the district and the state, and therefore they earn The Gazette’s endorsement.

District 15 Senate Brian Feldman (D) was appointed in September 2013 to his state Senate seat after the resignation of Robert Garagiola. We think he earned it, after 10-plus years in the House of Delegates. We are troubled by the number of legislators who have won their seats via appointment, and we think Maryland would be better served by requiring more open seats to be subject to special elections - but we can’t argue that Feldman isn’t deserving of his Senate seat. He has been a champion for Montgomery County biotech. His opponent is Robin Ficker

(R), who has fought tirelessly to limit county spending by proposing charter amendments. He’s also well known for a number of other things, including heckling at professional basketball games. He also has a colorful history as a county lawyer, including being suspended in 2007 for his carelessness in running his high-volume law practice. For Feldman’s work for Montgomery County, he has won The Gazette’s endorsement.

District 15 House Dels. Kathleen Dumais and Aruna Miller have been hard workers for District 15 — in particular Dumais, who has distinguished herself in the area of family law. They have earned The Gazette’s endorsement. David Fraser-Hidalgo (D) has served a single session in Annapolis, as he was appointed to ﬁll the opening when Feldman became a senator. It’s little to go on how well he’d do for a full term. Flynn Ficker (Robin Ficker’s son), Christine Thron and Ed Edmundson are the Republicans seeking a seat in District 15. Of Fraser-Hidalgo and the three Republicans, we were most impressed with Edmundson. For one, he has published positions on virtually everything; from consumer purchases of Tesla automobiles to tax credits for industrial hemp, he’s described how he thinks on an issue. Plus, he’s a Republican who should ﬁnd broad support in the Democrat-heavy district. Should Larry Hogan get elected governor, Edmunson said he wouldn’t support efforts to repeal the “rain tax.” That might not win him friends among his fellow members of the GOP, but it shows an independent streak that Montgomery residents will appreciate.

District 17 Senate The District 17 state Senate seat came open when incumbent Jennie Forehand decided this year not to seek another term. Forehand, a Democrat, has tapped former Del. Cheryl Kagan to be her successor. The Republican in the race is Steve Zellers, who sells health insurance. Zellers likely will make the Republican hierarchy in Annapolis unhappy, in some cases. He doesn’t oppose Common Core or the Purple Line. He supports federal recommendations on cleaning up the Chesapeake Bay. His big issue is to cut taxes with an eye toward cutting spending, and he wants to cut red tape so businesses can prosper. Some of his points are worthy. However, we are troubled that he is basing his campaign on using precinct chairmen and the networks of the Montgomery County Republican Central Committee to campaign for him. For a job as important as a state senator, he should depend more on his own efforts and less on others. Kagan has experience in Annapolis, which could beneﬁt Montgomery County. She has built relationships in the State House, both as a delegate and in her career outside public service. She will ﬁght to get more money from the state to support the county. She wants to upgrade the Maryland procurement process. She supports mass transit, as well as the widening of I-270. She supports cleaning up the Chesapeake Bay. And she told The Gazette that she is committed to being visible in the community. Because of her experience and her professed desire to escape the bubble of State Circle, we believe Kagan is a better choice for District 17 voters.

LETTER Plastic foam ban should go further I refer to the article in the Sept. 10 issue of The Gazette [“Montgomery might ban plastic foam cups, containers”]. The article discusses the proposal introduced into the Montgomery Council which would ban restaurants and food service companies from using polystyrene and styrofoam cups and containers. This is very commendable. However, I do not believe that this goes far enough. While 5 cents are charged for plastic bags in food service, this hardly dents the problem. I would suggest that the County Council consider requiring the use of biodegradable plastic, both for the takeout plastic bags and the plastic bags used in produce departments. This is where most plastic bags are used in food stores. If small countries like Vanuatu and Fiji in the Paciﬁc can legislate such requirement — which they do — why cannot we do the same? Costs may be a bit higher but the savings to society would be much greater. If Montgomery County institutes this requirement it would encourage other nearby jurisdictions to do the same. This would diminish plastic use throughout the area.

GC hires basketball coach

Losing can be beneﬁcial

One of the buzz words in education for the past decade or so is “rigor.” The general theory, which some experts dispute, is that students learn better if it’s challenging. The harder they have to KEN SAIN work for it, the more SPORTS EDITOR they retain. Let’s apply that to football. Losing a game can be beneficial. Don’t believe me? Ask the last two coaches to win the Maryland Class 4A state championship in football. “I like for my team to lose a game,” Henry A. Wise High School coach DaLawn Parrish told me before the season. Wise defeated Quince Orchard in the 2012 4A state title game. “Forget the standings for a moment, I think it teaches them something about being men.” Northwest High School’s team, winners of last year’s 4A crown, has not faced much rigor thus far in 2014. Undefeated Paint Branch showed up Friday in Germantown to give the host Jaguars a test, and the Burtonsville school left with a 49-6 loss. All six of Northwest’s games this year have ended with the starters on the bench and a running clock on the scoreboard showing an average score of 46-2. Many would welcome such dominance, but at some point you need to worry about getting your players primed for the playoffs and the close games that are probably coming. Or, in Parrish’s case, primed for life and learning to overcome adversity. “That was actually the first game I had my starters in in the fourth quarter,” Northwest coach Mike Neubeiser said following the Paint Branch game. “I’m trying to get them work. It’s a difficult balance, because you don’t want to run the score up, but at the same time you have to give your starters work.” I asked Neubeiser if there was any positives for his team in the 14-13 loss to Clarksburg in October of last year that helped his team during its championship run. “There was a lot of benefit,” Neubeiser said. “We reevaluated everything we were doing. We changed some things, changed some personnel, we solidified our line after that. It was huge.” A loss can be a wonderful teacher. Northwest still has two games remaining with teams ranked in The Gazette’s top 10 in Montgomery County. The Jaguars travel to face the last school to beat them, Clarksburg (4-2), on Oct. 24 and then host a rematch of the 4A West Region title game on Nov. 1 against Quince Orchard (5-1). So these Jaguars might be challenged yet. Does Neubeiser agree with Parrish about the value of losing a game? The two coaches just missed playing with each other at Wake Forest (Neubeiser’s last season as a linebacker was 1994; Parrish’s first season as a defensive back was 1995). “Nah, I want to win,” he said. Understandable, but getting a little rigor before it’s lose-and-you’re-done time wouldn’t hurt the Jaguars. Being in pressure-filled situations and learning from them might make a difference in November or December. If there are weaknesses, they can be exposed and addressed. Still, this Northwest team is so dominant those lessons may not be necessary. It certainly wasn’t two years ago when Wise won its first 13 rigor-free games by an average of 37.8 points (winning by 20 or more) before defeating QO 12-7. So, coach Parrish, what was the reaction of your 2012 team leaders, safety Franklin Porter and lineman Antonio Harris, to the losing is good for you mantra? “They said, ‘Forget that coach, we’re going undefeated,’” Parrish said. Maybe rigor is overrated. ksain@gazette.net

Assistant promoted to take over a struggling Falcons’ program

ADAM GUTEKUNST STAFF WRITER

The 5-foot-8, 165-pound Fehlinger has put together performances

Just a few weeks after Robert Churchwell announced he was resigning as the head boys basketball coach at Our Lady of Good Counsel High School in Olney to take the same position at Benedictine High School in Richmond, Va., the Falcons have named someone to replace him. David Credle, Churchwell’s top assistant during his one season at Good Counsel, was hired earlier this week after his predecessor’s exit caught the athletic department by surprise, according to Good Counsel Assistant Athletic Director Mark Jankovitz. Credle came to Good Counsel in 2013 after spending a number of years coaching with the highly successful Team Takeover AAU program, based in Washington, D.C. Despite having coached only one season with the Good Counsel program, Credle’s familiarity with the program, the players and their families was ultimately what led to the inhouse hire. “We thought David had a very good basketball background, he was a very good assistant with Churchwell, and he knew all the players,” Jankovitz said. “He knows the program and he knows the philosophy of the school. So that just seemed to us to be a very easy transition.” Credle’s familiarity with the Washington Catholic Athletic Conference (WCAC) dates back to the late 1980s, when he starred on Gonzaga College High School’s basketball team. From there, Credle went on to play at Loyola University of Maryland, where he created relationships that he said ultimately led to the beginning of his coaching career in 1995. The chance to return to the conference he once played in, as a head coach, was an opportunity Credle jumped at immediately. “I’m proud,” Credle said. “The athletic department had confidence [in me] and the parents and the kids voted me in to come on board as the head coach in the No. 1 conference in the country. It’s huge. It was a huge opportunity that can’t be passed up.” Because Churchwell’s departure was so sudden and so close to the beginning of the basketball season, Credle has little time to prepare his team for a season that starts next month. The Falcons have begun their open gym workouts, weightlifting sessions and even practice yoga twice a week as a team. “I’ve jumped right in,” Credle said. “We’re keeping things going. It has to be a seamless process and I think we’re do-

Rockville High School’s Kristen Markham warms up Oct. 8 at Northwest. She is recovering from surgery to correct scoliosis.

A twisted road to recovery Less than a year after outside hitter discovered she had scoliosis, she is back on the court n

ADAM GUTEKUNST STAFF WRITER

an Markham, mother of Rockville High School senior Kristen Markham, remembered being called back into the doctor’s ofﬁce when her daughter went for a routine physical the summer before her junior volleyball season. When the doctor asked the then-16-yearold to bend over, her right shoulder protruded out in an awkward manner. “It was absolutely striking,” Markham’s mother remembered. A month later the mother and daughter sat in a different doctor’s ofﬁce staring at something even more striking: an x-ray of Kristen’s spine. “It looked like I had a snake in my back,” Markham said. “It was shocking because I didn’t think I had anything wrong with me.”

But there was something wrong with Markham, who had never even had stitches or a broken bone prior to this discovery. The prognosis was scoliosis, an unnatural curving of the spine. “We had no idea,” Markham said. “After I got my x-rays they said I could’ve had it for [ﬁve or six] years without anyone noticing.” During Markham’s ﬁrst visit to an orthopedic, the Cobb angle — a measure of the curvature of the spine — was 47 degrees. Any Cobb angle greater than 10 degrees is often considered scoliosis, according to Core Concepts, a musculoskeletal group. Still, Markham carried on with her junior season of volleyball, ordered by specialists to check back in after six months. But as the season dragged on, Markham, the Rams’ starting outside hitter, started to feel the effects of the debilitating condition. “When I dove for balls I could feel something,” Markham said. “It just started hurting when I played and then after.” Though Markham did her best to work through the

Richard Montgomery back carries the load Senior has run for 899 yards to lead the Rockets’ offense

BY HARVEY VALENTINE SPECIAL TO THE GAZETTE

Last season, the Richard Montgomery High School football team featured a running back by committee. This year, the Rockets have a leading man. Three years of running track and working in the weight room last offseason have helped senior halfback Alex Fehlinger emerge as the county’s top rusher. Since winning the starting job to start the season, he’s rushed for 899 yards and ﬁve touchdowns in six games. “First week against Rockville he started to put it all together and explode through the hole,” second-year coach Josh Klotz said. “He’d been dancing around a little bit, not trusting his reads — because we run a lot of zones — so he was hesitating. “From there on out he hasn’t looked back. With our zones, the run-

Richard Montgomeryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s International Baccalaureate magnet program and travels to Rockville daily from his home in Damascus. During his freshman year he joined the outdoor track team and for the past three years has competed in the 100 and 200 meters. Klotz said the track coaches have helped make Fehlinger faster and burnish his already solid work ethic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Running track and playing football go hand-in-hand,â&#x20AC;? Fehlinger said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They both help keep me in shape and help me build muscle.â&#x20AC;? Fehlinger showed glimpses of what was to come as a junior

â&#x20AC;&#x201D; when he started at safety and shared the running back duties â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but really impressed, Klotz said, when he came back this year faster and 15 pounds heavier. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I saw him break a really tough tackle in practice early in the season, which was very exciting to see him do, something he hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really done last year,â&#x20AC;? Klotz said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With his speed and how aggressive he is with the ball now, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s making himself pretty hard to tackle.â&#x20AC;? Another reason for Fehlingerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success is his commitment to the zone running scheme, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel like this year I have a lot more conďŹ dence,â&#x20AC;? he said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last year I would get the ball sometimes and bounce outside. Now I just ďŹ nd the hole. I know that I can be the fastest player on the ďŹ eld sometimes. The coaches on the sideline are always reminding me of that.â&#x20AC;? Both Fehlinger and Klotz were quick to also credit the Rockets improved offensive line, which features two sophomores, two juniors and a senior. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When they see Alex trust them and trust that the holeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be there, they know that if they use their proper footwork and work their zone double teams, no matter what the defense does, Alex is going

to make a proper read and get positive yards,â&#x20AC;? Klotz said. Friday night against Poolesville, Fehlinger was held to 25 ďŹ rst-half yards. Senior quarterback Renzo Farfan threw a pair of touchdown passes en route to his best game of the season (247 yards, three touchdowns), giving the Rockets a 14-6 halftime lead. After the Falcons pulled to within 14-12 in the third quarter, Fehlinger made ďŹ ve straight carries, taking the Rockets from their 29 to the Poolesville 15 and leading to Farfanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third touchdown pass. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At one point during that drive I said to the coaches, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Does Alex look good or do

we need to give him a break?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; He just popped right up and ran back to [the line of scrimmage],â&#x20AC;? Klotz said. Poolesville pulled out the win with a late touchdown, but Fehlinger gained more than 125 yards on 20 second-half carries. Klotz said Fehlinger, who scored more than 1,400 on the SAT college entrance exam, is being looked at by numerous elite Division III colleges. After ďŹ nding out what heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capable of, Fehlinger would like to continue his career. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m definitely interested in playing football in college if I can ďŹ nd the right school,â&#x20AC;? he said.

let it bother her, or at least not let it show.â&#x20AC;? As much as Markham wanted to carry on, the alarming results of her six-month check-up put her volleyball aspirations in the rearview mirror. In just six months, the Cobb angle of her spine had increased from 47 degrees to 55 degrees. A brace was no longer an option. If something was not done immediately, Markham would be at risk

for severe deformation as an adult. It was time for surgery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A week before the surgery I would cry looking at my xrays,â&#x20AC;? Markham said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just lost it. It got to me before I had to go in. I was really scared.â&#x20AC;? On May 21, 2014, just eight months after her initial diagnosis, Markham laid in bed at Johns Hopkins Hospital with eight fused vertebrate, two metal rods and an assortment of screws in her back. The last

thing on the outside hitterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mind was volleyball. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We thought it was all over, we really did,â&#x20AC;? Markhamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;How was she going to play volleyball with those rods in her back? We thought we were done.â&#x20AC;? But Markham had other plans. Just 12 hours after the procedure, she was up walking with the assistance of the hospital staff. After being conďŹ ned to her bed for the following

week, Markham finally convinced her parents to let her go to the local grocery store, where she practiced gingerly walking around the parking lot. Originally given a recovery period of four to six months, Markham was cleared to do â&#x20AC;&#x153;whatever her body allowed her to doâ&#x20AC;? after just six weeks. And the seniorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ rst move after being cleared was an easy decision: volleyball tryouts.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;She just kind of did it,â&#x20AC;? Jan Markham said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was no hesitation. She just went to tryouts and played.â&#x20AC;? When the outside hitter walked into practice, her teammates immediately noticed a difference. Not only did Markham look stronger, but she looked bigger too. After the corrective surgery, which Markham hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t told her teammates about, the senior grew three inches. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone was asking her what had happened,â&#x20AC;? Pang remembered. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She just kind of said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Oh, I had scoliosis and I went through surgery.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tryouts was tough but I made it through,â&#x20AC;? Markham said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of people were surprised to see me. [Coach] Pang was even like, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hey, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re here!â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Though Markham is still technically recovering and will not have her full range of motion back for some time, the senior is ďŹ nally back doing what she loves. During an Oct. 8 matchup at Northwest High School Markham was all over the court. Early in the ďŹ rst set, the now 5-foot-10 outside hitter rose up to knock a ball into the back corner of the Jaguars side of the court, her hands clearing the net â&#x20AC;&#x201D; something she couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do before her postsurgery growth. During a long rally later in the set, Markham dropped to a knee to dig up an attack by Gabby Bennett, one of the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hardest hitters, before popping back up to direct her front line. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s these simple things that Markham now takes pleasure in, after a tumultuous year that threatened to keep her from the sport she loves. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happy itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all kind of done and so am I,â&#x20AC;? Markhamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother said, smiling. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got a scar on her back but I think now sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OK with it. Now she thinks itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of cool.â&#x20AC;?

This week’s schedule Springbrook at Whitman Damascus at Rockville Watkins Mill at Seneca Valley Northwest at Wootton Quince Orchard at Sherwood Northwood at Walter Johnson Paint Branch at Blair Clarksburg at Bethesda-Chevy Chase Magruder at Gaithersburg Richard Montgomery at Churchill Wheaton at Einstein Poolesville at Brunswick Episcopal at Georgetown Prep Riverdale Baptist at Avalon Bullis at St. Albans St. Steven’s & St. Agnes at Landon Blake at Kennedy Good Counsel at St. John’s College

At 5-2, the Avalon School football team has already matched last season’s win total and with three regular season games remaining, the Black Knights are in the thick of the Capital Area Football Conference championship competition.

FOOTBALL NOTEBOOK BY PRINCE J. GRIMES On Friday, Avalon should get a good test against conference foe Riverdale Baptist (5-1). Riverdale Baptist went undefeated last season on its way to the CAFC title and is regarded as the favorite to win it again this year. The teams are scheduled to play 7 p.m. Friday at George Mason High School in Virginia.

Whitman looking to end skid

Clarksburg letting the points play out With four games left to play in the regular season, Clarksburg (4-2) currently is fourth in the 4A West Region. “Our team simply lives by the motto of go 1-0 in the week that you are playing,” Clarksburg coach Larry Hurd said. “Our only concentration is on B-CC for this week. The points will play out as they play out. We can’t control what other teams do or who they play, so we concentrate on ourselves.” Clarksburg is scheduled to play

Prince J. Grimes 167-50 85-23

Jennifer Beekman 165-52 82-26

Adam Gutekunst 167-50 89-19

The Gazette sports staff picks the winners of this week’s football games involving Montgomery County teams. All games includes picks made in Prince George’s County. Here are this week’s predictions:

Avalon faces key test on Friday

Following a 28-6 loss to Damascus High School (6-0) on Friday, Walt Whitman (2-4) now has more losses this season than it did all of last season when it went 7-3. The Vikings narrowly missed the postseason in 2013, but have struggled this year playing a schedule against opponents with a combined 18-16 record.

Eric Goldwein 169-48 84-24

RAPHAEL TALISMAN/FOR THE GAZETTE

Richard Montgomery High School quarterback Renzo Farfan looks to pass during Friday’s football game against Poolesville. Poolesville won 27-21. B-CC 6:30 p.m. Friday.

Einstein, Springbrook get first wins On Friday, both Albert Einstein and Springbrook high schools won their first games of the season. Springbrook beat James H. Blake, 30-12, and Einstein defeated John F. Kennedy, 36-18. Einstein coach Neal Owens said everything finally came together for the Titans, but they have to prepare hard this week for Wheaton, another team looking for its first win. Einstein is set to host Wheaton 6:30 p.m. Friday.

“It feels good, we felt like we ﬁnally had all of our pieces in place this past Friday,” Owens said. “We should be able to build upon this. We will see this week in practice if winning pushes them to do it more. We plan on making this week an extremely tough week of practice. Wheaton is a tough, physical team that is desperate for a win, and that is scary. If we don’t prepare ourselves and come out fast, we could be in for a long night.” Bethesda-Chevy Chase and Walter Johnson are also winless.

Defense leads Sherwood boys soccer

Good Counsel lacrosse player commits to Ohio school Stephen Haase has been playing lacrosse since kindergarten. He’s been in leagues, club teams, and is now heading into his senior year with Our Lady of Good Counsel High School’s varsity team. “It’s been a big part of my life,” said Haase, 17, of Rockville. This spring season will be Haase’s last with the Olney school. But it won’t be his last as a lacrosse player. In July, Haase verbally committed to play lacrosse at Denison University in Ohio, where he plans on studying economics, he said. “It was a great campus and [it had] great academics,” Haase said. “The program and the coach [Mike Caravana] I really liked as well, so that just added on.”

Quince Orchard lineman invited to Under Armour game Quince Orchard High School senior defensive tackle Adam McLean was presented his honorary game jersey for the 2015 Under Armour All-America High School Football Game Monday at the Gaithersburg school. The 6-foot-3, 280-pound Penn State recruit is one of 90 players nationwide who have been selected to compete in the eighth-annual contest, according to a news release sent to The Gazette. The all-star competition is scheduled for Jan. 2. at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Fla. and is scheduled to be televised on ESPN2. “I’m looking to compete against the top guys in the country,” McLean said in the release. “I want to be the best player I can be and work hard every single play.”

Sidelined Gaithersburg player sticks around When Gaithersburg High School junior volleyball player Delaney Collins went down with torn labrum in her hip in March while playing in a club tournament in York, Pa., her best friend and Gaithersburg outside hitter Jacqueline Landry knew it would be the ﬁrst time in six years the duo wouldn’t be able to play together. But Collins hasn’t gone anywhere this season, coming to almost all of the team’s practices and games while recovering from her surgery in mid-June. “She’s still a part of the team,” Landry said of the junior libero. “We don’t think of her any differently. It’ll be pretty cool when she comes back.” Collins is expected to return in time for the co-ed volleyball season this spring.

Churchill girls steal the show at districts Just a week after winning the team districts competition, the Winston Churchill High School golf team had eight girls qualify for the state tournament during the girls’ district tournament on Oct. 6 at Laytonsville. Lena Capoccia, Rebecca Bartko, Hanna Jia, Eunbbie Kim, Joddie Zeng, Aine Kenwood, Eowyn Pak and Bethany Chen all shot under the state qualifying cut score of 90. The state tournament is scheduled to be held Oct. 27-29 at the University of Maryland, College Park Golf Course.

For the Sherwood High School boys soccer team, it starts with the defense; the rotations, the help positioning, and all the “little things” have been a focus since the start of preseason, coach Mike Kogok said. “I’m sure the boys were at one point tired of hearing about it,” Kogok said. “But I told them ‘If you defend, you’ll be in every game.”

BOYS SOCCER NOTEBOOK BY ERIC GOLDWEIN The Warriors (7-2-1) have done exactly that, with four shutouts and nine goals surrendered through 10 games. Senior center backs Christian Demoya and Corbin Brailsford have led the defensive unit and keyed the Sandy Spring School’s strong season. “We’re smart, and we keep good position, and we stay together. Eighty minutes is a long time. We stick together and that’s why we’ve been successful to this point,” Kogok said.

Wootton defense recovering From a torn up knee, to groin and ankle injuries, to a rare heart condition, the back line of the Thomas S. Wootton High School boys soccer team has seen it all. It started in the preseason, when defender Dylan Parr tore his anterior cruciate ligament. Center backs Erik Gunnarsson (groin) and Al Mirzania (ankle) have also has missed time, while Ryan Murphy has missed time while dealing with his heart condition, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome. But the Rockville school’s defense is getting healthy. Gunnarsson, Mirzania and Murphy have all returned,

Watkins Mill High School’s Edem Yevoo competes with Carlos Guevara of Damascus during Monday’s boys soccer game in Gaithersburg. and the Patriots (3-6-2) have responded accordingly, allowing three goals in the past three games. In their most recent match on Friday, Wootton defeated Derwood’s Col. Zadok Magruder 2-0. “We’ve got a super solid defense, and that makes a huge difference,” Wootton coach Doug Schuessler said. “Because you got to stay in games to win them.”

Paint Branch picking up play The Paint Branch High School boys soccer team has four seniors, and only three starters back from 2013. That youth and inexperience has presented a challenge for the Panthers, ﬁrst-year coach Eric Gerber said. “When you’re playing against some of these teams that pressure the ball highly. A few of the kids aren’t used to constantly being under pressure,” Gerber said. But for the most part, the Burtonsville school has been up to the task. Paint Branch (4-6-1) has been gaining momentum with the postseason approaching, tying 4A state runner-up James H. Blake 2-2 Monday in Silver Spring. “We’re a little bit more cohesive,” Gerber said.

Poolesville goalie keeps cool Christian Andrade hasn’t had the typical freshman season. Instead of sitting on the bench, the ﬁrst-year goalkeeper has been starting in net, and keeping

Poolesville High School’s boys soccer team in matches with 110 saves on the season. With Andrade as their last line of defense, the struggling Falcons (0-81) have shown signs of life. Prior to last Wednesday’s 4-0 loss to Watkins Mill of Montgomery Village, the team tied Wheaton 3-3, lost to Damascus 3-1, then suffered back-to-back 2-1 overtime defeats against Germantown’s Northwest and Derwood’s Col. Zadok Magruder. “The boys are playing conﬁdently,” Poolesville coach Christos Nicholas said. “… It gets them stronger and more experience for the playoffs.”

Junior helps WJ get back to winning ways Daniel Hart returned to the Walter Johnson High School boys soccer team this season after playing academy last year, and though he didn’t adjust immediately, he may be ﬁguring things out at just the right time. The junior forward recorded a hat trick in Monday’s 8-0 win over Silver Spring’s John F. Kennedy, and has helped the Wildcats (8-3-1) ﬁnd their form again with the regular season coming to a close, coach Hector Morales said. “If he gets rolling here because of this game, that could really help us out going into the playoffs,” Morales said.

Avalon remains undefeated Gustavo Gilardi inherited a young Avalon School boys soccer team when he took over as coach in 2011. But with time the Black Knights have improved, and are now the two-time reigning regular season champions of the Maryland Independent Schools Athletic League (MISAL) after a 6-0-1 season. “We have a good bunch that are juniors and seniors,” Gilardi said. “That’s what we needed. We needed more time playing together, growing stronger. That’s basically what made it happen.” Up next for the all-boys Gaithersburg private school is the MISAL postseason. Avalon lost to Takoma Academy in last year’s championship, but with several talented upperclassmen, including senior Francesco Brown, Gilardi said his team — which was below .500 in his ﬁrst two seasons — has what it takes win the postseason title. The quarterﬁnals are scheduled for Thursday, Gilardi said. “The team is blooming, it’s showing all the qualities. It’s showing the potential,” Gilardi said

Olney native shoulders the ice hockey load

Defense may decide winner of Sherwood, QO football game n

Georgetown Prep grad, Villanova defenseman played with injuries

BY KENT ZAKOUR STAFF WRITER

The role for an ice hockey defenseman is a physicalone.Thepositionrequirestakinghitswhile retrieving the puck and doling out checks to opposing players in his zone. With that known, what 2012 Georgetown Preparatory School graduate Michael McDonald has endured for the past several years has been what some would call tough — given his physical ailments — while others, perhaps, could just say it is part of being a hockey player. When McDonald, a junior at Villanova University (Pa.), was a junior at Georgetown Prep during the 2010-11 season, he dislocated his right shoulder after taking a routine hit against DeMatha. For the next several seasons, the now 20-year-old played with a loose shoulder and partially torn labrum. He’s also recovered from a broken collarbone and is currently dealing with the effects, including fatigue, of Lyme disease. “I was fine, but I always had to worry about going into a corner to retrieve the puck or make a hit,” McDonald said. “It was always in the back of my mind. When it did come out, it was like a sharp two seconds of pain and I was like, ‘Oh [crap], it’s out again and needs to go back in. I may miss a few games.’ ... That probably happened seven or eight times.” Eventually the injury became severe enough — the labrum tore completely — that surgery could not be delayed. In the first game of the 2013-14 season, the Olney native went in for a check against Temple and his shoulder popped out of its socket again, and stayed out. “It got to the point where we would go to games and hold our breath, hoping he wouldn’t get hurt,” Michael’s father, Sean McDonald, said. Added Michael: “I spent last summer rehabbing and now, for the first time in awhile, I don’t have to worry about it on the ice.” This season, the 6-foot, 185 pound, left-handed defenseman is a key contributor as half of the third defense pairing for the Ice Cats, Villanova’s club hockey team (5-0-1). In five games this fall, the selfdescribed stay-at-home defenseman has recorded two points. “He’s one of those guys that likes to mix it up in the corners,” Villanova assistant coach Glenn DeStefano said. “... He’s a guy that is a solid hitter. I’m in charge of the forwards, but I like him on the power play at the point since he has the hardest slap shot on the team.” McDonald, who considered playing junior hockey before college, said he hopes the Ice Cats

Cougars travel to Sandy Spring on Thursday to face the Warriors BY PRINCE J. GRIMES STAFF WRITER

Georgetown Prep graduate and current Villanova University junior Michael McDonald plays defense on the

can become a perennial top 25 team — they are just outside the top 25 in the other receiving votes category of the American Collegiate Hockey Association Division I rankings — and advance to the national tournament by winning the Eastern Collegiate Hockey Association (Villanova is in ﬁrst place).

Making a hockey family McDonald said he became enthralled with hockey at an early age. When he was a toddler, his grandfather took him to watch the Chesapeake Ice Breakers, a now-defunct minor league hockey team that was based in Upper Marlboro in the late 1990s, where he ﬁrst learned about the sport. “When I was 3, he got my skates and sticks and took me to games,” McDonald said. “My grandfatherplayedontheponds[InPennsylvania].Istarted playing with [Montgomery Youth Hockey Association] when I was 6 and haven’t stopped since.” “Michael said, “I’m going to be a hockey player,’” Sean McDonald said. “And I wondered how the heck that was going to happen since we had never skated before or followed the [National Hockey League’s Washington Capitals]. ... “Now, all these years later, hockey is a total family thing.” As an economics major and entrepreneurship minor, McDonald may have found his post-hockey career calling last summer. McDonald interned with Eastern Athletics Services, a sports representation and management company, in Sparks (Baltimore County). “I think I’d like to pursue being an NFL agent and that’s my goal right now,” said McDonald, who added he also wants to pursue law degree or a Master of Business Administration. “I’ve had an interest in marketing and sales and being a sports agent has a lot of marketing aspects; you are selling your clients and yourself.” kzakour@gazette.net

The Sherwood and Quince Orchard high school football teams, two of the area’s traditionally strong programs, are operating with a short preparation week in advance of Thursday’s scheduled game. The Cougars (5-1) are set to visit Sandy Spring’s Sherwood (5-1) at 6:30 p.m. Thursday. Last year, Sherwood lost 42-7 in Gaithersburg. Sherwood quarterback Neven Sussman has been arguably the most consistent player at his position in the county this year. Through ﬁve weeks, Sussman had yet to throw an interception while throwing for 1,051 yards and 12 touchdowns. More than half of those yards (598) and ﬁve touchdowns have

gone to junior wide receiver Marcus Simms, who Sherwood coach Chris Grier called the best receiver in the state. “He’s a great athlete, he’s got fantastic hands, he’s tall, he can jump, he can run, he runs great routes,” said Grier, who added that the offense will have to be balanced for success against Quince Orchard. “The bottom line is I think he’s the best wide receiver in the state. People are on notice about him.” Quince Orchard, a team with a coach with a defensive background in John Kelley, is allowing an average of just 9.2 points per game this. The Cougars offensive approach is run-oriented, led by senior running back Kyle Green. Marvin Beander and Eisley Kim also receive valuable carries for the Cougars. “You don’t want one guy to carry the ball 25-30 times a game,” Kelley said. “It’s good that we have guys. Marvin Beander, our other back, he’s got 46 carries for 354 [yards] and seven

touchdowns. He’s averaging 7.7 yards per carry. So he’s a guy that, again, if Kyle does need a blow, we have another guy.” Grier said this game will come down to whichever defense is able to step up the most. His team has suffered a few injuries on the defensive side, but he said they have to be able to stop the run. “I think defense is going to be the key for both teams,” Grier said. “... They’re a great team. They run the ball hard. We’ve been susceptible to the run. So — Neven’s a great quarterback, and they’ve got a great defense, but we’re not going to be in the game if we don’t step up.” While this game does introduce some intriguing matchups, Kelley said, the short week throws a wrench into the preparation. “It just changes up your routine during the week,” Kelley said. pgrimes@gazette.net

‘Danny Boy’ scales new heights Play provides glimpse into the big life of a little person n

“I know him because of my personal experience, I’ve never been able to share that on a stage.”

KIRSTY GROFF STAFF WRITER

Unexpected Stage Company aims to provide a voice to the voiceless, and with their upcoming production of “Danny Boy” the team hopes to bring one underserved population out from the sidelines to center stage. The play, written by Marc Goldsmith, centers on Danny Bloch, a little person living in New York City navigating friendship, family and romance and how they are affected by his shortened stature. Christopher Goodrich, director of “Danny Boy” and co-artistic director of Unexpected Stage, helped Goldsmith bring his play to life, previously directing its initial appearance at the 2006 New York International Fringe Festival. Goldsmith was inspired to write “Danny Boy” by his college friend, Michelle. Unbeknownst to Scott J. Strasbaugh when he took on the role of Danny, Michelle happens to be a good friend of his, as well. “I wish I would have known about the play before, because I definitely would have come out to see it,” Strasbaugh said. “When Chris first talked to me about it, it was the first time I had heard about it, and when I read the script it was one of those things where I was like, how has this not made it into my hands sooner?” Lead roles for little people are still relatively rare, so Goodrich thought “Danny Boy”

Scott J. Strasbaugh stars as Danny in Unexpected Stage Company’s production of “Danny Boy.” would be a good ﬁt for Unexpected Stage and a chance to provide a look at someone’s life not often seen in media. “We don’t often hear from the type of people in the plays we produce,” said Goodrich. “A story from this perspective, we don’t often hear from such a person without it being a stereotype or poking fun at in some way. So we wanted to address that and say, ‘Hey, this is a human being. What’s their side of the story?” In doing so, Goodrich has

allowed for the actors involved to come to their characters with their own interpretations and suggestions, collaborating to bring every character to life from leading man Danny to aloof best friend Gabe, played by Justus Hammond. “He’s giving us a lot of freedom to improvise pieces not written in the play, and if they go well we add them in,” Hammond said. “Coming from an improv background, I like the freedom of coming in and putting my own spin on something

instead of copying the script verbatim.” Strasbaugh has also been able to apply his own experience to Danny, having gone through some of the same struggles and experiences before. “What stuck out was how there’s so much more depth to Danny than I am used to playing,” he said. “That’s what excited me the most about tackling this character — I know him because of my personal experience, I’ve never been able to share that on a stage.” While Strasbaugh says he is more outgoing and “in-yourface” than the shy, introverted Danny, the role incorporates aspects of life as a little person he can relate to more than many of his previous roles. Whether on stage, in ﬁlm or on television, Strasbaugh is typically seen as the comedic sidekick. “That’s usually the type of character I go for — and usually as a little person, that’s almost the only role available to us,” he said. “I think a lot of people are getting used to seeing little actors in different roles, espe-

Suburban renewal: Activist makes case for smarter planning n

Author studied physics at Harvard, earned doctorate at MIT BY

ELLYN WEXLER

SPECIAL TO THE GAZETTE

Benjamin Ross believes the bell has tolled for suburbia. “The path we followed for almost a century — outward expansion of cities with each successive ring designed for more driving over longer distances — has reached a point where it can’t continue,” said the 65-year-old Bethesda author of “Dead End: Suburban Sprawl and the Rebirth of American Urbanism.” Having grown up in Albertson Downs, Long Island, which he described as “five blocks of Cape Cod houses built by Levitt and Sons just after the Second World War,” Ross was born to the manner. He said his hometown was a veritable “museum of suburbia,” composed of strip malls and subdivisions. Ross and his teenage peers were “attracted to the city,” and eager to escape the suburbs. Higher education provided an opportunity for flight. Ross studied physics at Harvard University and earned a doctorate in physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His professional career began in the Boston area; he relocated to D.C. in 1982 when he married an area native. The couple lived briefly in the Southwest, then moved to Bethesda for a multitude of reasons, among them, schools, a Jewish community and “to be in walking distance of Metro when it opened.” He also “didn’t like being deprived of right to vote

in D.C.” Still, back then, the jurisdictions were not very different from each other. “D.C. seemed extremely suburban, so it didn’t feel like I was losing much by moving to Montgomery [County],” he said. “It’s hard to overstate how much D.C. has changed since then. Montgomery has changed a lot too, but — except in small areas like downtown Bethesda and Silver Spring — more in terms of population than in the feel of the streets.” Montgomery County’s plan to evolve from an “undesirable and unworkable” suburbia appealed to him. “The county chose a very different vision — a diverse community where livable downtowns, quiet single-family neighborhoods, and farmland coexist,” Ross wrote on the Web

cially with ‘Game of Thrones,’” added Hammond, referring to Peter Dinklage’s role as Tyrion Lannister on the popular HBO series. “This is another opportunity to see a little person actor as the primary actor. I’ve never seen a play where their world is examined as deeply as we see here.” That’s not to say that other people can’t relate; “Danny Boy” tackles issues many adults face, but with a focus on a group that usually doesn’t have an authentic voice in the arts. The unique issues confronted by little people put a spin on an experience most are familiar with. “There are other universal themes that make it accessible: where do we ﬁt in? Who are we? Where does our insecurity ﬁt within our evolution?” Goodrich said. “But there’s all of these issues dealt with that you and I don’t necessarily think about on a day-today basis in terms of prejudice, bigotry, things we might not be aware we’re doing.” By highlighting Danny’s story and putting him front and center, “Danny Boy” spotlights a man little people can relate to, and gives others a glimpse into a world they may not understand. Hopefully audience members of all sizes can walk away with a renewed

The Little family — made up of Mr. and Mrs. Little, played by Andrew Ferlo and Tracey Farrar; George, played by Philip Reid; and adopted second child-mouse Stuart Little, played by Chris Dinolfo — gathers in their New York apartment in the Adventure Theatre MTC production of “Stuart Little.”

Being small presents its own challenges ... but great imaginations come from folks big and small alike. Take the story of Stuart Little, which is playing at Adventure Theatre MTC in Glen Echo from now until Oct. 26, for example. Sure, Stuart may just be a mouse, but he has a loving family and the entire world is right there in front of him, ready to be explored. Stuart’s adventure begins when his bird friend, Margalo, disappears. Stuart goes out into the great, big world to try to ﬁnd her. Though Stuart’s size hinders his path, he is determined to succeed. Tickets for the show are $19. For more information, visit adventuretheatre-mtc.org or call 301-634-2270.

It’s frightening, for a limited time only Yep, it’s that time of year ago. The air is getting cooler and all of the stores have put out copious amounts of chocolate and other candies with bat, ghost and goblin decorations. To be fair, they’re all together with the Thanksgiving and Christmas decorations, too, but we’re focusing just on Halloween right now. What better way to prepare than to spend hours watching spooky movies at AFI Silver in Silver Spring? The ninth annual Spooky Movie International Horror Film Festival will wrap up on Oct. 18. Horror movie buffs will be treated to several full-length flicks and short films. There are several films still on tap you should check out, including “The Shower,” “Chocolate Strawberry Vanilla,” and “Housebound.” On Saturday night, the festival will close — as is tradition — with the great Count Gore De Vol presenting the 1970s version of “The Hills Have Eyes.” Tickets for the shows are $12 each, or $80 for an all-festival. For more information, visit spookyfest. com, afi.com/silver or call 301-495-6700.

The InterAct Story Theater presents “Not My Monkey” at the Arts Barn in Gaithersburg.

Monkey business

Wait ... is that your monkey? No? Well then, it has to be your monkey! You, the one reading this with the bowl of corn flakes with bananas. Surely, it’s your monkey! It’s not? Well, it’s not MY monkey, that’s for sure! I think it’s probably best for you to find out who the monkeys belong to by going to the Arts Barn in Gaithersburg to see the InterAct Story Theatre’s production of “Not My Monkey,” which runs through Oct. 26. The circus is in town and the new ringleader wants to make a good impression. Now, we all know what kind of trouble can happen when you have monkeys running about, and — wouldn’t you know it — there’s trouble everywhere! The show, which is set for children 4 and older, looks to convey the importance of working as a community to make things better and to solve problems. Of course, it’s a lot harder when no one thinks it’s their problem in the first place. Tickets for the show are $20, $12 for children 14 and under. For more information, visit gaitherburgmd.gov or call 301-258-6394.

Notice is hereby given that a public hearing will be held on October 29, 2014 by Montgomery County Revenue Authority (the "Authority") at 11 a.m. in the Montgomery County Executive Office Building, Suite 410, located at 101 Monroe Street, Rockville, Maryland 20850, to permit any person to appear and testify concerning the proposed issuance and sale by the Authority of its Montgomery County Revenue Authority Lease Revenue Refunding Bonds (Montgomery College Arts Center Project), Series 2014 (the "Bonds") in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $27,000,000. The proceeds of the Bonds will be loaned by the Authority to Montgomery College Foundation, Inc. (the "Borrower"), a Maryland non-stock corporation and a taxexempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, to be used by the Borrower to (i) refund all of the outstanding Montgomery County Revenue Authority Lease Revenue Bonds (Montgomery College Arts Center Project), Series 2005A, which bonds financed the renovation and construction of a college arts center (the "Project") on the Takoma Park/Silver Spring campus of Montgomery College located at 930 King Street, Silver Spring, Maryland 20910, (ii) fund a debt service reserve fund for the Bonds, and (iii) pay the costs of issuing the Bonds. The Borrower owns the Project and leases it to Montgomery College for use in its operation as an institution of higher education. The Borrower will be responsible for all costs associated with the Bonds, including principal, interest and the costs of issuing the Bonds. The Authority is not responsible for any of these costs. Neither the Bonds nor the interest thereon shall ever constitute an indebtedness or charge against the general credit or taxing power of the Authority or Montgomery County, Maryland within the meaning of any constitutional or charter provision or statutory limitation, and neither shall give rise to any pecuniary liability of the Authority or of Montgomery County. This notice is given pursuant to Section 147(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Any person interested in the proposed issuance of the Bonds or the location or nature of the Project may appear at the hearing and testify or present written comments concerning the Project and the proposed issuance of the Bonds. Any written statement submitted prior to the hearing should be sent to the Chief Executive Officer of the Authority at the address of the hearing specified above. If persons with disabilities need any services or aids to participate in this activity, please call the Chief Executive Officer of the Authority at 301-762-9080.
