Kensington teacher cooks up science lessons n Recipes help students develop a taste for learning BY

Rockville mayor urges consideration of open primaries Party chairmen interested in concept, but issue can be ‘fraught with land mines’

Ann McCallum talks about her recent book “Eat Your Science Homework” holding atomic popcorn balls, a recipe from the text.

Ann McCallum knows a lot about food for thought. The Kensington woman just published her second cookbook for elementary students: “Eat Your Science Homework: Recipes for Inquiring Minds.” An English for Speakers of Other Languages resource teacher at Richard Montgomery High School in Rockville, McCallum said she got the idea for her ﬁrst book, “Eat Your Math Homework,” published in 2010, while teaching elementary school. “I was always thinking of ways to get [student] engaged,” she said. “One year we made gingerbread houses and the students had to tell how they used math in their project. It was a humongous mess, but it was so fun, and the kids were really excited.” The idea for math recipe book “just clicked” after that project, she said. After the math book was completed she turned her writing and kitchen talents to science. Cooks, young and old, can learn or reinforce science concepts they already know with recipes like Atomic Popcorn Balls, Black Hole SwallowUps or Invisible Snack Pockets. “The Invisible Snack pockets are my favorite,” McCallum said. “Its a stepping stone into a really interesting science concept.” Henry Solomon Wellcome began selling invisible ink 1869 hoping to become rich and famous. He did not become rich, but did become famous, McCallum said. His ink was actually lemon juice, which disappeared when it dried on paper but reappeared when heated. “I was thinking, if it works on paper why wouldn’t it work on dough,” McCallum said. “So I started experimenting.” After many tries, she came up with a combination of baking soda, sugar and water. It made for a great lesson on acids, bases and neutral liquids, she said, and an interesting way to start a dinner conversation. Each of the book’s six recipes is preceded with a scientiﬁc explana-

Fewer than one in five registered voters in Montgomery County voted in June’s primary election, and Rockville’s mayor would like to explore one possibility in an effort to bring more voters to the polls. As part of a larger conversation about increasing voter turnout, Mayor Bridget Donnell Newton thinks perhaps the city could look at urging the county to support open primaries. In an open primary, any registered voter may vote regardless of their party affiliation. Maryland currently holds separate Democratic and Republican primaries. Officials in Rockville’s elections run without any party affiliation, but Newton thinks the city could either urge the county to support a change or support making the issue a legislative priority for the Maryland Municipal League. The move would be an effort to bring people who may feel left out the political process and increase voter turnout for state and county elections, she said Monday.

“We run nonpartisan in the city,” Newton said at an Aug. 11 meeting of the mayor and council. “But then when you couple all of that up on when we’re trying to work forward in this county that is so heavily Democratic, then I think people are feeling very disenfranchised.” Newton said Monday that she’s talked to several Republicans in the county who have told her they sometimes don’t come out for elections because they know the winner is going to be a Democrat. As of the end of July, registered Democrats in Montgomery outnumbered their Republican counterparts 356,817 to 122,007. There were 147,902 unafﬁliated voters, who can’t vote in either party’s primary but can vote in nonpartisan races such as school board, in the county. In June’s primary, nearly 24 percent of Democratic voters came out to vote, while about 12 percent of Republicans went to the polls, according to statistics from the Maryland State Board of Elections. Less than 3 percent of unafﬁliated voters cast ballots in the primary. Overall turnout in the county was just more than 16 percent. Open primaries are an interesting

Maryvale parents continue opposition to proposed storage facility Company tries to ease critics’ fears, says crime won’t be an issue

Opponents raised concerns about possible criminal activity at the facility, plus potential trafﬁc to and from the building, what types of items might be stored in the facility’s units and possible pollution from demolition of the building that’s now

Olney girl strives to save bay, one T-shirt at a time n

Turns shirts into bags BY

TERRI HOGAN STAFF WRITER

Ally Newby said she didn’t know how to sew, and neither did her mother, but that didn’t stop her from her Bat Mitzvah project. Ally, 12, is selling Bags for the Bay, tote bags made out of repurposed T-shirts. All of the proceeds go to the Chesapeake Bay Foundation. The nonprofit organization is dedicated to saving the bay through education, advocacy, litigation, and restoration. Ally, a seventh-grader at Rosa Parks Middle School in Olney, said she is interested in the environment — in particular, animals and their habitats. She researched the Chesapeake Bay online and learned about its unhealthy state, due in part to agricultural runoff, wastewater teatment and factories, stormwater runoff, and air pollution. “I knew I wanted to do something to help the bay,” she said. Ally said she decided to support the Chesapeake Bay Foundation because it educates people, advocates for laws to protect the bay, organizes cleanups, and plants trees and grasses in the most polluted areas. “I saw bags made out of T-shirts and thought that was a great idea,” Ally said. “Not only do the factories which cause pollution have to make less bags, but fewer bags will end up in landﬁlls or in the bay, where they can hurt animals.” She asked a neighbor with a sewing machine to teach her to sew. “I still only know how to sew a straight line,” she said. “Now I have my own sewing machine and I might learn how to do more later.” The bags come in a variety of designs, and offer a unique way to use a favorite T-shirt, Ally said.

“I still only know how to sew a straight line.” Ally Newby

“They can be used for a lot of things, like shopping, sleepovers or gym clothes,” Ally said. “They can also be personalized. People can give me their favorite shirt and I will make it into a bag for them.” She started making the bags at the beginning of the summer. She has sold them at $3 apiece through word of mouth to friends and family. Information about Ally’s bags is posted at www.bagsforthebay.weebly. com. She can be reached for questions at ally.newby@yahoo.com. “Most people think it is a really cute idea,” Ally said. “It’s a way to reuse something that people don’t want into something that they do want.” Ally has sold them at the Olney Farmers and Artists market several times. She estimates she has sold about 25 bags. “The Olney Farmers and Artists Market is so proud to have a girl like Ally Newby participate,” market founder and President Janet Terry said. “Her work making reusable bags from recycled T-shirts is an inspiration to other young people regarding the importance of saving the bay and protecting the environment. We congratulate Ally on her work and hope she will continue in her efforts.” Ally said she she’ll keep making and selling bags at least until her Bat Mitzvah in May. If there is a demand, she will continue after that. She plans to be at the farmers market selling her bags again on Aug. 31. thogan@gazette.net

National Night Out draws crowds in Olney BY

The Olney Chamber of Commerce’s 21st celebration of National Night Out on Aug. 5 at the Fair Hill Shopping Center drew another big crowd. National Night Out, sponsored by the National Association of Town Watch, began in 1984 as an effort to promote involvement in crime prevention activities, police-community partnerships, neighborhood camaraderie, and to send a message to criminals letting them know that neighborhoods are organized and ﬁghting back. National Night Out now involves more than 37.8 million people and 16,124 communities from all 50 states, U.S. territories, Canadian cities and U.S. military bases worldwide. Families enjoyed entertainment, demonstrations, displays, exhibits, food and children’s activities. There

Rockville seeks proposals for ‘Our Town’ program MPT show will focus on city and community

RYAN MARSHALL STAFF WRITER

The yearlong process of creating a public television program highlighting Rockville will begin in September, with a meeting to gather ideas for the program. There will be a story meeting on Sept. 20 from 9:30 a.m. until noon at the Rockville Senior Center at 1150 Carnation Drive in Rockville. Rockville Mayor Bridget Donnell Newton said Tuesday at a meeting of the East Rockville Civic Association that anyone is welcome to come to the meeting and make sure the program focuses on all the right points. The program is a chance for Rockville to tell the story of its residents, culture and history, Newton said. She said she hopes to see

new residents as well as longtime members of the Rockville community at the meeting. The story conference will work on coming up with about 13 points to focus on during the hourlong program, Newton said. “Our Town” is a Maryland Public Television program that focuses on communities around the state, and using footage shot by local residents and interviews with community members. Previous episodes have featured Cumberland, Hagerstown and Chestertown. Rockville’s episode is expected to air in September 2015. The city would be setting up an email address for people to RSVP for the Sept. 20 story meeting, although registering in advance is not required, spokesman Sean Sedam said. rmarshall@gazette.net

County fair closes until next year Weather cooperates in Gaithersburg for event’s ﬁnal weekend

SAMANTHA SCHMIEDER STAFF WRITER

The nine-day Montgomery County Agricultural Fair came to an end on Saturday and Martin Svrcek, executive director of the fair, estimates a total of 215,000 people attended, even though severe weather conditions closed the fair on Aug. 12. “A rain on the ﬁnal Friday or Saturday is absolutely brutal, but rain on a Tuesday is not bad from a business side because it’s one of the slower days on the grounds to begin with,” Svrcek explained. “But even our slow days are busy days, they’re just not as busy as the busiest days.” Tuesday’s closure, however, did affect one of the fair’s scheduled, special days for community members. “The most affected people were our senior citizens because Tuesday is the fair’s senior day,”

Svrcek said. “We plan so much for them. There’s a trolley that goes through the fair grounds that we don’t offer any other day.” Because special events such as military and family days were already slated later in the week, tying up buildings and personnel, senior day could not be rescheduled, said Svrcek, who noted that the fair has been hosting the special event “seemingly forever.” While bad weather caused this upset, it could have been a lot worse in Svrcek’s opinion. “The weather is our biggest nemesis, but also our biggest asset,” he said. “There were cool temperatures and only one day of rain.” Elana Diestel of Derwood manned her booth for the duration of the fair, selling Headbands of Hope. For each headband or buff (a headwrap for boys) sold, the organization donates a headband or buff to a child battling cancer, and also donates $1 to childhood cancer research. Diestel sold about 140 headbands, and collected almost $50 in donations. “Everyone loved the headbands and what Headbands of Hope does,” she said. Highlights were having a girl love the buff she bought so much she came back to the fair the next

day to buy two more, getting an email from a girl expressing her love for a headband she bought and for what Headbands of Hope does, and helping a deaf and mute couple understand what Headbands of Hope does and pick out a headband. “The lady’s smile when she ﬁnally decided on a headband was so priceless,” Diestel said. “And the feeling I get from knowing that I helped put smiles on 138 pediatric cancer patients’ faces is awesome. Just awesome.” While attendees get to experience carnival rides, tents and grounds all set up, many don’t realize just what it takes in the days leading up to and following the fair, as well as throughout the year, to host such a large, crowded event. Svrcek said that while the fair takes a few weeks to set up, it takes only about six days to tear down, leaving no trace of it behind. Vehicles, such as trailers, which many employees and volunteers have called home for the duration of the fair, must be moved off the grounds, signs have to be collected and stored and trash has to be picked up. “It takes longer to set up than to tear down, way more time,” Svrcek said. “Not because it’s

harder work, but we invariably have new initiatives each year that take time to put in place. If we did the same thing year in, year out, it would take less time.” With less than 365 days left until next 2015’s fair, scheduled for Aug. 15-22, Svrcek said that they started planning it before this year’s even had the chance to close its gates. He and the staff work year-round attending conferences and trade shows to ensure they have the best quality entertainment and food for Montgomery County. They’ve already even started hiring people for 2016. As the carnival rides travel up to Rhinebeck, N.Y., for the Dutchess County Fair and the grounds return to a deserted state, Svrcek is ﬁnally able to relax a bit and realize another year went by with no injuries and no major mishaps. “Our biggest issue during the entire week was lost parents,” Svrcek said with a laugh. “We don’t have lost children. Kids know where they are. It’s the parents that don’t.” sschmieder@gazette.net Staff writer Terri Hogan contributed to this report.

Rockville residents will have several chances during the next few months to chime in on new plans for the Rockville Pike area. The city’s mayor and City Council will hold four public hearings on the Rockville Pike Plan, which will lay out the city’s strategy for transforming a section of Md. 355 from an area dominated by automobiles into a pedestrian-friendly economic and cultural center. The hearings will be held during the usual mayor and council meetings on Sept. 29, Oct. 27, Nov. 17 and Dec. 8. The city is expected to schedule other forums and additional ways for residents and businesses to provide input. The plan would turn Rockville Pike into a boulevard, with more cross streets and shorter blocks, traffic islands to separate through traffic from local traffic and building fronts moved closer to the roadway. It also aims to create “complete streets” that can accommodate pedestrians, drivers, mass transit passengers and bicyclists. rmarshall@gazette.net

Priddy has been vice president of education for the association’s Bethesda chapter for the past four years. He has promoted science, technology, engineering and math education, developing grant programs to help girls pursue technical degrees; promoting interest in these ﬁelds to more than 250 middle school students; and working with university partners and grantees to create a pathway from middle school to baccalaureate programs. Also, the Bethesda chapter won the association’s Harry C. Ingles Award in the very large category, for “significantly” contributing to its goals.

For Katie Hamelburg, volunteering is a way of life — and she’s doing what she can to inspire other teens to offer their time and talent to help others, too. Hamelburg, 19, of Potomac created Operation 18,000. It lets members of United Synagogue Youth track their volunteer hours through an online program. They hope that participating teens will accumulate 18,000 hours of service from March to December 2013. The program exceeded Hamelburg’s expectations, as 600 teens nationwide volunteered 32,686 hours. For her own work, she earned one of 15 Diller Teen Tikkun Olam Awards for 2014 from the Diller Family Foundation, a philanthropy in San Francisco.

Katie Hamelburg of Potomac is one of 15 winners of the Diller Teen Tikkun Olam Awards.

With the award came $36,000. “I was really surprised to win,” Hamelburg said. She said she plans to use some of her winnings for college tuition. She is a rising sophomore at the University of Maryland, College Park, majoring in Jewish studies. She also plans to give some to a social justice

fund through United Synagogue Youth. Hamelburg said she got the idea for Operation 18,000 in part after watching a video in which ﬁrst lady Michelle Obama urged young people to spend time giving back to their communities. “Watching that video got my

Supernus reports big turnaround Bolstered by sales of its two new epilespy drugs, Supernus Pharmaceuticals of Rockville reported a second-quarter profit of $3.2 million, compared with a net loss of $27.4 million in the second quarter of 2013. Revenues rose to $29.7 million, from $281,000 a year earlier. The second-quarter revenues included a $2.1 million milestone payment from its Silver Spring partner, United Therapueutics. Supernus also reported Thursday that it has received from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration fast-track designation for its experimental drug to treat impulsive aggression in attention deﬁcit hyperactivity disorder. Such designation is for products that are being investigated to treat serious conditions and that may address an unmet medical need. It expedites the regulatory approval process.

It inspired me to want to continue to work for social justice.” Hamelburg will be honored along with other award winners at a conference Aug. 23-25 in San Francisco. “I’m really looking forward to meeting with the other winners and learning from them,” she said. Hamelburg said her work continues with a new name — Operation 54,000, to reflect a greater challenge she believes will be reached. She is not heading Operation 54,000, but has been actively mentoring two young people, from Wisconsin and Missouri, who have accepted the leadership role. pmcewan@gazette.net

Rape, kidnapping charges dropped against former Rockville High athlete Man will not be prosecuted due to lack of evidence n

DANIEL LEADERMAN STAFF WRITER

A former Rockville High School football player who was charged with rape and kidnapping at the University of New Mexico in April will not face prosecution. Charges against Crusoe Gongbay, 21, and two other men were dropped on Aug. 12 due to insufﬁcient evidence, according to court records. Gongbay was one of three men charged with sexually assaulting a female student at the university in April. Each man faced two counts of seconddegree criminal sexual and one count of kidnapping and conspiracy, according to University

of New Mexico Police Lt. Timothy Stump. The other two men are SaQwan Edwards, 22, Gongbay’s teammate on the university’s football squad, and Ryan Ruff, 22, who was not a student at the university. The female student told police that the three men forced her to have sex in a blue BMW after meeting her outside a party on April 13, according to charging documents. She also told police that Ruff had put a gun to her head and assaulted her after Edwards and Gongbay had left the vehicle, according to charging documents. The university is still investigating the incident as a possible violation of the student code of conduct, said Dianne Anderson, a spokeswoman for the university. The penalties for violating the code range from verbal warning to expulsion, according to the university’s website.

Gongbay did not respond to a request for comment. Both Gongbay and Edwards were suspended from the university’s football team after being charged in April, but were reinstated Aug. 13. “Once that criminal case was closed, I saw no reason not to reinstate them to the team,” Bob Davie, the team’s head coach, told reporters at a news conference. A videotape of the news conference was posted online. Although the university investigation is ongoing, Davie said that since the players weren’t suspended from the university, he saw no reason they should be suspended from the team. Gongbay played three years of varsity football for Rockville High School before graduating and joining the University of New Mexico’s team in 2011. dleaderman@gazette.net

Man accused of conning 89-year-old Suspect demanded nearly $9,000 for bogus car repairs, police say n

DANIEL LEADERMAN STAFF WRITER

Montgomery County police have accused a Washington, D.C., man of bilking an 89-year-

old Leisure World woman out of nearly $9,000 while claiming to be repairing her car. Michael Adams, 34, of the 5200 block of Georgia Avenue in the District, approached the victim March 28 in the parking lot of a shopping center near Leisure World, which is in Silver Spring, and offered to paint a scratch on her car for $100, according to a statement for police.

Adams — who is not a certified mechanic and is not licensed to do auto repairs in Maryland — also told the woman her car needed a new part and met with her several times over the next two months in the parking lot of the Aspen Hill Home Depot, so the repair work could be done. At each meeting, Adams raised the price of the repairs, culminating on May 1, when Adams angrily demanded $5,000 in payment, according to police. The frightened woman withdrew approximately $5,000 from local banks and bought about $3,950 in gift cards with which to pay Adams, according to police. During the investigation, police identified Adams as the suspect and determined that he had not done any repairs or installed new part in the victim’s car. Adams was charged with obtaining property by deception, intimidation, and undue influence of a vulnerable adult; and felony theft. Each charges carries a penalty of up to 10 years in jail and a fine of up to $10,000. dleaderman@gazette.net

City approves vehicle purchases, bond sale Money from bonds will go toward capital projects n

RYAN MARSHALL STAFF WRITER

The Rockville mayor and City Council voted Aug. 11 to buy some new trucks and make some safety improvements. The city awarded a $282,226 contract to Johnson Truck Center of Landover for two dump trucks ﬁtted with snowplows and equipment to spread salt during snowstorms. During other times of the year, the Department of Public Works uses dump trucks for hauling debris and material to maintain streets. The trucks are replacements for other vehicles and will not increase the size of the Public Works ﬂeet, according to a staff memo. The mayor and council also approved a $401,196 contract to Mid-Atlantic Waste of Easton for

two rear-loading trucks to collect trash and recyclables. The trucks should be delivered in about six months. Mayor Bridget Donnell Newton said she’s heard concerns from some people that the city should move toward a more energy-efﬁcient ﬂeet, and asked whether the city could wait on making the purchases until some further discussion could be had on the topic. Craig Simoneau, director of public works for the city, said the city is looking at buying vehicles that use compressed natural gas, but isn’t ready to make any decisions. Garbage trucks would be good candidates for natural gas because they run on a set schedule and can be given plenty of time to refuel, he said. But the dump trucks must refuel quickly during a snowstorm and would not work well with natural gas, he said. Simoneau recommended the mayor and council approve the

purchases now, and if they decide to move toward compressed natural gas at a later date they can start to buy garbage trucks that use that technology. • The city is scheduled to hold a bond sale in November to raise money for several capital improvement projects. The mayor and council on Aug. 11 approved the sale of up to $16 million in bonds, with a sale scheduled for Nov. 7. The money will finance projects in the city’s general, water, sewer and stormwater projects, including those in the fiscal 2015 capital improvement program and any projects in the fiscal 2014 program that were not completed by the end of the fiscal year June 30. It will cost about $200,000 to issue the bonds, including fees from financial advisers, bond counsel, underwriters and rating agencies. rmarshall@gazette.net

Lee seeks to switch from state House to Senate Bethesda Democrat focusing on cyber issues, crime n

ELIZABETH WAIBEL STAFF WRITER

With 12 years of experience under her belt, Del. Susan C. Lee thinks it’s the right time to represent her district in the Senate. Lee, a Bethesda Democrat who has served in the House since 2002, said she can use the relationships she has in the House and the work she has done to advance policy goals in the Senate. “I wanted to use my experience and accomplishments that I’ve gotten over the last 12 years ... to build on that track record

and do even more in the Senate for my constituents,” she said. Lee got her chance to run for an open Senate seat in District 16 this year when Sen. Brian E.

Frosh (D) of Chevy Chase ran for attorney general. Lee is the deputy majority whip, serves on the House Judiciary Committee, and chairs the Family Law Committee. She counts among her top accomplishments her work with the women’s legislative caucus to devote funding to rape crisis centers; passage of a law to keep people from using mistaken age as a defense in child sex crimes; and make kidnapping a child for the purpose of human trafﬁcking a felony. “This will help prosecutors prosecute human trafﬁcking,” she said. Lee has also led commissions and task forces on cybersecurity, telemedicine and nanobiotechnology. She said she is considered a leader in

passing laws to ﬁght cybercrime and identity theft. As more health records are stored electronically, she said, large-scale identity theft is a greater risk. “It’s so easy now with technology to hack into a computer and steal health records,” she said, adding that stolen health records could lead to misdiagnoses and incorrect drug charges. Cyber innovation also holds promise, however, and Lee said she wants to propose legislation to keep bioscience entrepreneurs in the state. Maryland could give innovators help commercializing their inventions, she said, or by giving tax credits to industries, or simply streamlining state processes that are cumbersome.

Like many legislative hopefuls, Lee expects education funding to continue to be a priority. She said the state can ensure kindergarten through 12th-grade funding and expand pre-kindergarten funding, as well as keep college affordable. “We’ve made our tax system fairer, more progressive,” she said. “... We need to cut waste and duplication so that we can streamline processes in the government, while balancing the budget.” Maryland has an opportunity to build on the innovation already happening in the state as the home to numerous federal agencies as well as science companies and colleges, Lee said, and legislators should prioritize support for those industries.

“We could be the epicenter of cybersecurity, as well as life sciences,” she said. “We could create all sorts of different jobs.” Lee said she thinks she can do more in the Senate, which is smaller than the House, and forge bipartisan coalitions. “I’ve worked with [the senators] before, and I know that now that I will be over there, I can work with them even more,” she said. Lee is running against Republican Meyer Marks to represent District 16, which covers Bethesda, Chevy Chase and part of Potomac.

School construction funding is top priority, Frick says Bethesda Democrat seeks another term in Maryland House n

ELIZABETH WAIBEL STAFF WRITER

BILL FRICK

Del. C. William Frick (D-Dist. 16) of Bethesda is running for re-election.

Despite the incumbent advantage and the strength of the Democratic Party in Montgomery County, Rep. C. William “Bill” Frick, a Bethesda Democrat, says he isn’t taking anything for granted as he runs for re-election Nov. 4. Frick, a lawyer, was appointed to the District 16 seat in 2007 and was re-elected in 2010.

“I’m really pleased by some of the progress we’ve made in trying to clean up the tax code.” Del. C. William Frick He said he has found the work rewarding and — especially now that he has some seniority as chairman of the Revenues Subcommittee, a member of the

Ways and Means Committee, and the Democratic parliamentarian — it doesn’t seem like the right time to step down. “The time seemed right to continue to try to serve,” he said. In the next session, school construction funding will be the No. 1 priority, with other quality-of-life issues, such as transportation, continuing to be important, Frick said. He has also heard positive feedback from his district about steps taken last term to approve same-sex marriage and abolish the death penalty. Frick said he sees an opportunity for bipartisan agreement on making sure funds spent

through tax credit programs are spent wisely. “I’m really pleased by some of the progress we’ve made in trying to clean up the tax code,” he said. In 2012, he authored the Tax Credit Evaluation Act, which established a review process for speciﬁc tax credits. So far, reviews have shown some opportunities to reform two tax credit programs, Frick said, and he hopes legislators can work with state agencies to make them more effective going forward. “It’s something that we hope we’ll be able to do collaboratively with the legislature and the agencies,” he said. “With the

start of a new administration, there will be folks who will be interested in developing new tools.” District 16, which covers Bethesda, Chevy Chase and part of Potomac, has three House seats. Incumbent Ariana Kelly and Marc Korman are the other Democrats who won in the June primary. John Andrews, Lynda del Castillo and Rose Maria Li are running on the Republican ticket.

Obituary Rose Marie Brower, of Sandy Spring, MD, passed away on Friday, July 18, 2014, at Friends Nursing Home. Rose leaves behind a son, Alan (Joyce) and daughter, Cathy Boss (Ray). She was grandmother to Ray (Erin), Katie, Lauren, Eric and Abigail, as well as great grandson, Owen. Rose lived in Virginia and Maryland for 45 years, and worked at Honeywell for over 25 years.

Ugandan children, love is at the heart of what they do. “God doesn’t always call the qualified; he qualifies those he’s called,” Amanda Jones said as she sat at the glass-top kitchen table in her Rockville home just off Connecticut Avenue. A single mother of three and former early childhood educator, Jones said she often feels unqualified to do the work she and fellow single mom Andrea Sedlock of Gaithersburg began when they co-founded Rukundo in January. “I never, honestly, saw myself starting a nonprofit, but I just felt like this place ignited a passion for me just to love,” Jones said. “Sometimes I wish God hadn’t put this burden on my heart to start this school, but he did. It’s an area I never imagined myself working in but I can’t imagine myself not being here now.” Volunteer-run, Rukundo International, which has applied for nonprofit tax status, has a mission to “create a healthy educational environment that ministers to the development of the child in totality: intellectually, emotionally, spiritually, and physically.” It’s a mission it aims to achieve by building a primary school for orphans, and other underprivileged and atrisk children and their families in the remote Ugandan region of Kabale.

Obituary On August 9, 2014, Una Bohrer Bogart (92) died in her Boynton Beach, FL, home of pancreatic cancer. Una was a long-time Kensington and Bethany Beach resident, growing up in depression-era North Dakota. Una became a WWII Navy flight nurse. She met her future husband, Navy pilot, LCDR. Ralph Bogart, while on a flight in the Pacific. She took care of the home front while Ralph was busy with Bogart and Brownell insurance agency, Bethesda, and golf tournaments. Una loved to travel all her life, especially to family weddings. She was a devout Missouri Synod Lutheran and enjoyed bridge and bowling. Una was a great storyteller and listener, remembering minute details of everyone she knew. Preceded in death by her husband, Una is survived by her children, William Bogart (Delray Beach, FL), Suzanne Richman and Bruce Bogart (Bethesda), 8 grandchildren, 4 great grandchildren, nieces, nephews and cousins. Internment will be at Arlington Cemetery in October. Contact a family member if interested in attending. Donations can be made to American. Cancer Society (donate.cancer.org).

TOM FEDOR/THE GAZETTE

Andrea Sedlock (left) of Gaithersburg and Amanda Jones of Rockville have launched an organization whose goal is to build a school in Uganda. It’s collecting shoes as a fundraiser. For the last ﬁve years, Jones and Sedlock have worked in the Kabale region, building relationships with residents and learning the culture. While working with another organization in Uganda, Jones said, she and Sedlock noticed the schools were in bad condition, classrooms were overcrowded, few children progressed beyond primary school and the so-called “free” government education often came with fees attached. Those who could not pay the fees were often turned away. “They were set up to fail,” Jones said. Months of prayer and research led to the decision to

form Rukundo International, Sedlock said. “I just fell in love with the people and saw such a great need that I just felt like I had to do something about this,” said Sedlock, who, by day, works as a biologist at the National Institutes of Health. Jones and Sedlock decided the best way to truly help the students in Kabale was to open a school of their own. “I always say, ‘I’m not going to change Uganda, I’m not going to change Kabale, but I will make a difference to this child at this school.’ And they’ll make a difference to somebody else. And they’ll make a difference,” Jones said.

Aiming to obtain a 5-acre parcel by the end of 2014, the women said Rukundo International is raising money to build the school in phases starting in 2015, adding one classroom at a time until there are enough classes through primary level seven. Rukundo also sponsors five scholars to attend secondary school. Rukundo has been operating only a few months, but already it is gaining momentum. Its first event in March raised about $10,000, Jones said. Rukundo also has partnered with the Reel Water Film Festival in Silver Spring to install three rainwater collection tanks in the Kabale region. The film festival is a volunteer-run nonprofit that, according to its website, uses film to start the conversation about local and global water issues, and donates at least half of its funds to international water projects and community

education. And between now and Sept. 30, Rukundo is holding a shoe drive, taking shoes in any condition. Rukundo has partnered with Funds2Orgs, which will provide it with $1,000 for every 2,500 pairs of shoes collected. Those interested in donating can ﬁnd a list of drop sites on the group’s website, rukundointernational.org. What started as just two people with an idea to make a difference has become an allvolunteer organization of about 15, including a five-member board. Because Rukundo operates out of the founders’ homes, it can put all donations toward its mission, Sedlock said. “When you have seen how far $10 can go, you can’t justify paying rent when we can meet out of our houses,” Jones explained. kalexander@gazette.net

Councilwoman wants arrest investigation results made public n

Branson asks police chief to keep public informed BY KATE S. ALEXANDER AND VIRGINIA TERHUNE STAFF WRITERS

The Aug. 10 arrest of a 16-year-old in Germantown has sparked a Montgomery County Police investigation to determine if excessive force was used by the ofﬁcer, and at least one council member is asking that the results be made public. The teenager was handcuffed and taken into custody about 7:30 p.m. near Century Boulevard in the Germantown Town Center shopping area and ﬁlmed by Washington TV station, WJLA. In a letter to Police Chief J. Thomas Manger Friday, Councilwoman Cherri Branson asked the chief to release the results of the investigation.

PRIMARIES

Continued from Page A-1 concept, but also an idea that is “fraught with land mines,” said Michael Higgs, chairman of the Montgomery County Republican Central Committee. One of the potential pitfalls is that an open primary can allow members of one party to determine who another party’s nominee will be, he said. He questioned whether Democrats voting in a Republican primary would truly be motivated to put up the best candidate to break the Democratic monopoly in the county. Montgomery currently has no Republicans representing it at the county, state or federal levels. Higgs said he would be willing to consider a plan that allowed registered independents to vote in a party primary. Kevin Walling, chairman of the Montgomery County Democratic Central Committee, said the idea of opening up primaries is an interesting conversa-

FESTIVAL

“I ask that you keep the public and the Council informed about the review of this incident,” Branson (D-Dist. 5) of Silver Spring wrote. “As you know, recent events around the nation have caused many people to raise questions about the use of force by law enforcement officers. It is imperative that residents of Montgomery County believe that the use of force is justified, examinations of the use of force are conducted with transparency, and officers who use excessive force are held accountable.” Branson said the video brought to mind a recommendation of the county Charter Review Commission that a Civilian Review Board be established to analyze complaints regarding police action. “I just think that law enforcement has so much power that not having a civilian presence in the determination of excessive force complaints really

Paul Starks, police department spokesman doesn’t help people believe that that power is being used in a way that is fair,” she said. “The [current] process is completely internal. The problem with a completely internal process is that if there is a ﬁnding of excessiveness then that too remains internal.” As for her letter, Branson said, “I just wanted to be certain that they are

tion to have, particularly as the county gets more independents. As the Democratic Party chairman, Walling said he doesn’t want to see registered Republicans voting on a Democratic nominee, or vice versa. But he would be interested in looking at allowing independents to vote in either the Democratic or Republican primaries. Montgomery County makes early and absentee voting easy, meaning that low turnout doesn’t stem from voter access issues but rather a voter motivation issue, Walling said. County Councilman Philip M. Andrews (D-Dist. 3) of Gaithersburg, said he has called for Maryland to go to an open primary system and is glad that Newton is also thinking about the issue. Andrews said Montgomery wouldn’t be able to make the change on its own, but he believes it’s something the county should advocate for. According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, 11 states hold open primaries and 11 states’ primaries

are closed. Four states hold primaries in which candidates of all parties are listed on one ballot and the top two vote-getters move on to the general election, while 24 states — including Maryland, which allows unaffiliated voters and members of smaller parties to vote for nonpartisan offices such as school board — use hybrids of open and closed primaries. Andrews, who sought the Democratic nomination for county executive in the June primary, said he believes open primaries would increase the “abysmal” turnout from recent elections and encourage candidates who can appeal to a wide range of voters. The change would also encourage more unaffiliated voters to come out, Andrews said. He said the county and state need to try different approaches to increase declining turnout. “It’s time for some major reform,” he said.

The event is a good opportunity for the community to come out one last time before summer ends, said Amanda Knox of the special events division of Rockville’s Department of Recreation and Parks. The event usually draws about 6,000 people, including about 3,000 for the wine tasting, she said.

Tickets can be purchased in advance through an event page on the city’s website; tickets at the gate can be bought with cash or credit cards. The rain date is Aug. 24. For weather information on Saturday, call 240-314-5022.

in fact investigating.” Branson said she could not say from watching a video of the arrest if police used excessive force. “What I don’t understand is was why the kids were approached in the first place,” she said. WJLA, an ABC affiliate, broke the story of the incident, which the station said was filmed by an one of their photographers. “Channel 7 WJLA sent us the tapes, and the mother of the 16-year-old asked for an investigation of all the circumstances surrounding the arrest, and we’re doing that,” said Police Department spokesman Capt. Paul Starks on Tuesday. Starks said the officer was responding to a call, possibly two, to the police department about teenagers in the area possibly smoking marijuana, he said. Starks did not provide further details about the incident, saying they are be-

Schoof said he’s also concerned about dust that may contain asbestos or other dangerous substances when the

When asked if the department would make the results of the investigation public, he said, “That’s not our policy, and I don’t know that it’s allowable under the law.” Starks also declined through a spokesperson to conﬁrm the name of the teenager or if he was charged with anything because he is a juvenile. Starks said he was not able to talk to Manger on Tuesday afternoon, but did say, “We did receive [Branson’s] letter, and he’s reviewing it.” “Each year, we have 1 million, if not more, contacts with people, and a fraction of 1 percent of those result in a complaint where there’s a sustained ﬁnding,” Starks said. “We’re not perfect, but we’re trying.” kalexander@gazette.net vterhune@gazette.net

I think there is a gap in quality math and science books for kids.” In all, McCallum has published six children’s books: four relating to math as well as a novel for upper elementary age boys. She also has a third recipe book in the works. For that she is leaving the math and sciences and working on United States history, she said. McCallum said she is not making a lot of money with her books, though it would be nice. “I’m doing it because I love it,” she said. “I think it’s just wonderful to give it as a gift to kids.” She also extends her gift to

She will visit Round again this fall to present lessons from “Eat your Science Homework.” “This time she will speak to the entire student body. Our younger students are going to love her sense of humor and hands-on tactics, while the older students will devour (pun intended!) her clever ideas. Much like a master chef, Ann McCallum has the incredible ability to combine the most challenging ingredients to whip up fabulous, appetizing main dishes ... her books,” Stephens wrote in an email.

Another worry: the company’s inability to review, inspect or monitor the boxes and other items going into the building, he said. “They have no idea what’s in any of those containers,” Schoof said. Opponents of the project also took their concerns to the Rockville mayor and City Council at their meeting Monday. Melissa McKenna, a member of the Maryvale PTA, said her group strongly believes the

storage facility is the wrong use for the property. PTA members are worried about large trucks and other trafﬁc traveling through an area where children are walking to school, including students escorting their younger siblings. They also think the size of the proposed structure is extremely out of proportion with the houses and other buildings around it, McKenna said.

A break from sound policy

Last week, Maryland took a holiday as summer neared an end — a week without the 6 percent sales tax on most clothing items and shoes. This has become an annual August rite in Maryland, a promotion aimed largely at back-to-school shoppers. The thinking is that the Free State, by temporarily becoming the Tax-Free State, can compete better against neighbors with more hospitable tax climates. Delaware has no sales tax. Pennsylvania doesn’t tax clothing. Virginia eliminates its sales tax on most clothing, shoes and school supplies for three days. Like so many other sales promotions, this one is alluring. For years, Comptroller Peter V.R. Franchot has trumpeted Maryland’s sales-tax-free week and shown his solidarity by buying exempt items during his promotional stops. But reality debunks the puffery. In a report, The Tax Foundation, a nonpartisan research group, explains: “Sales tax holidays introduce unjustifiable government distortions into the economy without providing any significant boost to the economy. They represent a real cost for businesses without providing substantial benefits. They are also an inefficient means of helping low-income consumers and an ineffective means of providing savings to consumers.” New York was a pioneer in the sales-tax holiday for clothing, starting one in 1997. A study afterward found that purchases of exempt items increased during that period, but not overall for the year. Consumers simply shifted their spending. The only real effect is in sales tax revenue. Franchot’s office said this week that there’s no concrete way to measure how much tax revenue does not come in. Instead, it pointed to a state Department of Legislative Services analysis attached to an unsuccessful bill this year to broaden the exemption to include school supplies. Legislative Services figured that, under current parameters, sales-tax-free promotions would reduce general-fund revenues $6.7 million in fiscal year 2014 and $6.9 million in fiscal year 2015 (the state collects something like $4.2 billion in total sales taxes). That includes both the clothing week and a three-day period in February, pertaining to the purchase of energy-saving products. In lieu of a meaningful structural approach to tax reform, state legislators gladly jump on this gimmicky, temporary tax-cut proposal, which has questionable value for taxpayers and retailers, but a fairly clear loss in state revenue. We’re not buying it. Far better would be changing tax policy that essentials, such as the clothing items targeted in the back-to-school tax holiday, aren’t taxed in the first place.

LETTERS TOT HE EDITOR

JBG has a strong record of supporting Twinbrook As a Twinbrook resident since 1965 and an active civic volunteer, I take exception to the negative comments made about The JBG Companies in your Aug. 6 article “Twinbrook projects rile neighbors.” JBG’s projects have already brought many positive things to my community. Not only does Twinbrook have more shops and restaurants, JBG has helped create a better sense of community and vitality for Twinbrook. They have improved the street scape and buildings which provide employment. For over 25 years, I was employed in two of the buildings in Twinbrook on Chapman Avenue and the Parklawn Drive. The article said nothing about how JBG has been and continues to be an active community supporter. JBG has been a sponsor of the Twinbrook Swimming Pool and supports the Twinbrook Elementary School, the Twinbrook Community Center, and the Rockville Sister City organization. JBG’s

donation to the Twinbrook Community Center last year funded numerous programs and afterschool activities. As an active community representative for the Twinbrook Partnership, I am proud of the many community initiatives the team has accomplished. The Partnership supports the annual clean-up of Rock Creek Park, the Twinbrook Elementary School BoosterThon, Bike to Work Day, NIH Take a Hike Day, the Twinbrook Farmers Market, and a multitude of other communitydriven events and activities. Currently, the Twinbrook Partnership is holding a communitywide school supply drive to beneﬁt the Twinbrook Elementary School. Your reporting got it wrong; the community beneﬁts greatly from JBG’s involvement and I believe they are a great asset to my Twinbrook community. They have shown they care about my community.

Summer ﬂotsam

Summer’s almost over, but, as we wander the beach for the last time, some interesting political nuggets wash ashore.

settlement and consent decree against the police department. That’s why CASA should insist that Brown disavow O’Malley.

Guilt by association

Celebrate Election Day

CASA In Action, the Latino political action group, recently demanded that Republican gubernatorial candidate Larry Hogan “take a principled stance ... by publicly disavowing (Frederick County) Sheriff (Chuck) Jenkins.” Why? Because Jenkins’ vigorous enforcement of federal immigration law led to a 2008 arrest by his deputies of a Latino woman quietly eating lunch on the curb. Although she was committing no crime, she was arrested, found to be an illegal alien, and jailed. CASA sued and a federal court ruled that the arrest was a MY MARYLAND violation of the womBLAIR LEE an’s rights because it was not linked to a criminal act. So Hogan should disavow Jenkins. Fine, but shouldn’t Democratic gubernatorial candidate Anthony Brown likewise disavow Gov. Martin O’Malley who, when it comes to illegal arrests, makes Sheriff Jenkins look like a piker? When he was Baltimore’s mayor, running for governor, O’Malley suppressed the city’s embarrassing crime rate by using a “zero tolerance” policy of unwarranted mass arrests of thousands and thousands of innocent city residents, including people walking to church. In many cases, the victims were strip-searched and jailed without charges. In 2006, the NAACP and the ACLU ﬁled suit against the city, resulting in a $870,000

Maryland Congressman John Delaney (D-Dist. 6) has a way to improve voter turnout. He’s ﬁled a bill in Congress making Election Day a national holiday. Looks good on paper, but, in reality, it’s bound to backﬁre. Currently elections are on Tuesdays during the workweek. Make that Tuesday into a holiday and most folks will take annual leave on Monday and enjoy a four-day vacation! If you believe people will stick around to vote, then you probably believe that most folks celebrate our fallen troops on Memorial Day and our workers on Labor Day.

If you’re white, it’s alright Remember Julius Henson? He’s the black Baltimore political consultant involved in the infamous 2010 governor’s race robocalls advising black voters to stay home because O’Malley and Obama (who wasn’t even running) were safely elected. But the jury only convicted Henson of conspiring to not have the recorded robocalls include an “authority line” identifying the robocalls’ political sponsor. Nevertheless, State Prosecutor Emmet Davitt brought Henson to trial, where a judge sentenced him to 60 days in jail, 30 months of home detention, 500 hours of community service and four years of probation, during which he was banned from political campaigns. Then, Attorney General Doug Gansler won a $1 million civil ﬁne against Henson. Henson went to jail. In Maryland, that’s how we treat authority-line violators — unless you’re a white Democrat.

The council can decide on the cost versus beneﬁt of the improvements, but actually, the problem is that people are lazy. If you could have polled the Democrat on his couch as he viewed the TV spots for gubernatorial candidates Brown, Gansler and Mizeur in the recent primary, he might

This year, Maryland’s school systems are relaxing discipline codes and reducing suspensions by treating violators, instead, with “restorative justice.” Meanwhile, with only a few weeks before school opens, Baltimore City has 211 teacher vacancies, up from 87 vacancies in 2012. Just a coincidence?

So that others may toke In California, the Berkeley City Council recently passed an ordinance mandating that medical marijuana dispensaries set aside 2 percent of their inventory, so the city can distribute the pot to low-income residents (individual incomes less than $32,000, family incomes under $46,000), who otherwise could not afford the weed. Who says this isn’t a great country? Berkeley’s “pot stamps” law is the nation’s ﬁrst, but can Takoma Park and Montgomery County be far behind?

In your story about Edward Sagel Funeral Direction and Danzansky-Goldberg Funeral Home (“Funeral home director buys back his Rockville business,” Aug. 6), you missed a major funeral home, Torchinsky Hebrew Funeral Home. While technically in Washington, D.C., it is a stone’s throw across the Maryland line and serves many families in Montgomery County, as well as the suburban area. It is owned and operated by Joyce Torchinsky, who has been a licensed funeral director for many years. Her funeral services are in the full Jewish tradition and comply with all Jewish requirements. Ms. Torchinsky is fully educated in the applicable sciences and is an excellent business woman. She does not limit her services to Jews and has handled funerals for non-Jewish families. She was born and raised in Montgomery County, attended local schools and the University of Maryland, has lived her life here, has taught in Maryland and chose to serve the people of the county. Her business is just into D.C. because that is where the location came available when another funeral home director retired and left the area. Your article gave the impression that only Sagel and Danzansky serve Jewish funeral needs in Montgomery County, which is just not true. You would ﬁnd it interesting to check the website for Torchinsky Hebrew Funeral Home and to interview her, and I think you would be impressed with her and her business. It probably would be worth another story to write about this impressive woman who is well-educated and very professional and who has given much to the community.

Louis Marmon’s article “Enjoying the rebirth of Greek wines” in your Aug. 6 edition was read with great interest. However, Mr. Marmon (and your copy editor) should brush up on English usage. To wit: 1. The last word before the jump — “lead.” The past tense of the verb “to lead,” as used here, is spelled “led,” not “lead.” The noun “lead” is pronounced “led” and refers to what’s found in a pencil. 2. The next-to-last paragraph states: “And nearly every type of seafood from grilled and poached ﬁsh to shellﬁsh and even sushi is well complimented with a glass (or two) of Assyrtiko.” The verb “compliment” is often misused for the verb “complement,” which is the case here. Thank you.

Not only did Bailey’s website lack an authority line, he paid for it with personal funds, another violation. Yet, Bailey got “probation before judgment” (no conviction) and was only sentenced to one year’s probation, 200 hours of community service and a $500 ﬁne. Nor is Gansler ﬁling a civil suit.

Division I is where the best high school girls tennis teams in the county play. Thomas S. Wootton High School won the division last year with an undefeated 12-0 record then went on to win the county championship. Another strong year appears to be in the cards for Wootton. Returning for the Patriots is the All-Gazette Player of the Year Miranda Deng, who also won a state singles championship last season as a freshman. She’ll be at ﬁrst-singles and should only get better. Expected to play second-singles is senior Kelly Chen, who will be the captain and leader for this team, according to coach Nia Cresham.

BY TED BLACK STAFF WRITER

The Thomas S. Wootton High School golf team peaked at the right time last fall to win a second consecutive state title. Now, with the 2014 season set to start Thursday, the Patriots are hoping for another championships. Wootton ﬁnished third in the Yachmetz

(upper) Division last year before winning the district and state titles. Wootton returns two of the county’s top players in senior Justin Feldman, a University of Maryland, College Park recruit, and junior Delaney Shah, who won both the girls’ district tournament title and co-ed district title last fall. “We lost two of our starters from last year’s state championship team, but I still think we’re going to be formidable this season,” Wootton coach Paul Williams said. “We have a very strong group back.” Wootton also expected to count on

senior Grayson Bright and junior Jordan White. Winston Churchill, last year’s state runner-up, returns several starters from last year’s squad that went 11-7.

Field hockey is no longer just a fall sport at Thomas S. Wootton High School. After a 16-1 season and a trip to the Class 4A state championship game last fall — the Rockville school’s ﬁrst in three-plus decades — the Patriots have turned it into a year-round activity. This offseason’s itinerary included Montgomery County Summer League games, routine scrimmages with Gaithersburg’s Quince Orchard, three tournaments, a team camp at American University and weekly workouts with the trainer. “We’ve stepped it up a lot. We’re really excited and I think our excitement is making us do all this,” se-

nior Julia Lee said. “... Since there are so many options, a girl could always make it to one of them.” Wootton didn’t lose a game last season until its meeting with Severna Park in the state championship after going 13-1-1 in 2012. Seven seniors graduated — including three All-Gazette first team players — but the busy offseason has allowed the returning and incoming players to become comfortable with each other, coach Kearney Blandamer said. Lee, a forward, is expected to be one of Wootton’s top contributors, teaming up with junior Lacey Rubin to carry the Patriots offense, Blandamer said. “We have a very good variety of players. Even younger players, some sophomores, a lot of juniors too. Even some freshmen,” Lee said. “… If we really work together and get really ﬁt, we can really just play off

After top 3 ﬁnishes at the state cross country championship race as a freshman and sophomore, it would be hard to look to Richard Montgomery High School junior Sophie El-Masry’s upcoming campaign as a potential breakout year. But after fully committing herself to a summer training regimen, Rockets coach Davy Rogers said the multi-sport athlete — El Masry tallied three top 5 ﬁnishes at the 2013 state swim meet — could be on the brink of a state title this fall. “Sometimes after cross country season I was excited for her to do swimming and give her legs a bit of a rest,” Rogers said. “Swimming, cardiovascularly you’re getting a lot of work. As far as running goes, there’s no better crosstraining than swimming as cardio. But then it’s about getting your legs back into running shape and handling the pounding of your legs on the track. ... Last year she was just getting into shape when we got to states. I thinkshe’sgoingtosurprisealotofpeople

now she knows what she needs to do. I think she’s going to have a really big year this year.” El Masry will be a top contender in a tremendously deep ﬁeld of female cross country athletes and overall teams in Montgomery County. And though the Rockets graduated two of their top four runners, Richard Montgomery should be a legitimate top 5 team with a shot and making its ﬁrst state tournament team appearance in recent history, Rogers said. Here’s a look at the overall landscape for this year’s cross country season:

Girls: Defending state champion Walter Johnson and 2013 county champion and state runner-up Bethesda-Chevy Chase. Multiple title contenders coupled with deep rosters will likely prove difﬁcult to beat. Boys: Walt Whitman returns the highest county finisher at states along with the majority of last year’s low scorers. Thomas S.

Team USA rebounded from a 2-0 loss to Germany in its opening game with wins against Brazil and China People’s Republic to make it out of the group stage. But the team’s run ended in Saturday’s 3-1, penalty-kick loss in the quarterfinals to Korea Democratic People’s Republic. Makenzy Doniak gave the U.S. a 1-0 lead but the game ended in a 1-1 tie after 120 minutes. Korea DPR goalie Kim Chol Ok then saved three of four Team USA penalty kick attempts. Last year Purce became the first freshman to be named Ivy League Player of the Year and paced Harvard and the league with 11 goals.

Spirit lose ﬁnale, but earn playoff spot Washington advances to postseason despite falling to Sky Blue FC

BY JENNIFER BEEKMAN STAFF WRITER

Emotions were running high for the Washington Spirit in Saturday evening’s 1-0 loss to visiting New Jersey-based Sky Blue FC in the team’s National Women’s Soccer League season finale, played in front of 4,282 spectators at the Maryland SoccerPlex in Boyds. One year removed from a last-place finish, Washington entered the match in control of its own playoff chances — a win Saturday would’ve clinched the team a spot in the league’s top 4. A loss, however, could have marked the final NWSL appearance for midfielder Lori Lindsey, beloved by soccer fans nationwide, who announced her plans to retire on Thursday. With so much to play for, however, Washington struggled to find its rhythm Saturday. But with a little help from the Chicago Red Stars and their tie with Western New York Saturday, the Spirit will make its NWSL playoff debut Sunday in Seattle against the No. 1 seed and Hope Solo-led Reign. The game is scheduled to be televised by ESPN2 at 11 p.m. eastern time. Washington (10-9-5) was in third place after Saturday’s game but was leapfrogged by then fifthplace Portland Thorns FC when the Alex Morgan-led squad won its season finale. Washington and Chicago were tied with 35 points but the Spirit own the season series head-to-head, 3-0. Lindsey, who was drafted by current Sky Blue coach Jim Gabarra to play for the Washington Freedom in 2003 and was also with the team from 2006-09, was honored in a post-game presentation Saturday that included video messages from friends, family and teammates past and present. Lindsey is a member of the U.S. Women’s National Team player pool and was with the squad during the 2011 World Cup and was named an alternate to the 2012 Olympic team. “If anything [the emotions] helped us,” Spirit and USWNT defender Ali Krieger said. “We really came out confident, we wanted to play for [Lindsey] and end this game with a win.

But [Saturday] wasn’t our day. It happens. It didn’t go our way. ... I know we’ve had our ups and downs but we’ve really worked hard at the end of the season to clinch that spot and I think we deserve [to be in playoffs].” Both teams had chances to score early but Sky Blue’s consistent pressure finally broke the Spirit backline in the 27th minute. Forward Monica Ocampo settled an attempted clear to place the ball just inside the left post and give the New Jersey team a 1-0 lead. In between its struggles to link in the midfield, Washington did show glimpses of what got it into playoff contention. The Spirit had several opportunities to tie the game — Sky Blue only outshot Washington, 9-8, and both teams had three shots on goal — and even go ahead. The best opportunity came in the 40th minute when speedy forward Lisa De Vanna stripped Sky Blue’s goalie, Jillian Loyden, of the ball and had a completely open net. But her initial touch on the ball was too strong and the it rolled out of bounds before she could get a shot off. USWNT defender Christie Rampone also stifled several attempts made by crafty Canadian National Team midfielder Diana Matheson into open space up top. Washington was playing without starting goalkeeper Ashlyn Harris, who has been side-

lined with concussion symptoms for nearly two weeks, and leading scorer Jodie Taylor, who was away on English National Team duty. “I think just good soccer [is the reason we do well against Washington],” Rampone said. “We play better against teams that want to put the ball down and play. They have a great midfield and swing the ball and their speed of play is better so we match up well against them. Our counter was on tonight and we were able to stretch them. We got a nice goal in the first half and then defended more than we wanted but that’s the game of soccer.” Saturday certainly didn’t go as Washington had planned but Krieger said it’s now important for the team to recover and set itself up for the postseason — the Spirit have had some success against the top two seeds, Seattle and FC Kansas City. “We came out confident and collective and, you know, we just didn’t get the result we wanted,” Krieger said. “We couldn’t find the net [Saturday], we had a handful of chances and couldn’t put them away. There was just a little bit of urgency, we gave too many passes away, including myself. It just didn’t go our way. ... Now we just really want to get the job done in the next games of the season, in playoffs.” jbeekman@gazette.net

ADAM GUTES/STONY BROOK UNIVERSITY

Watkins Mill High School graduate Quinton Littlejohn is expected to play at Stony Brook this fall.

Watkins Mill grad eager to play Second-year freshman should play often this fall for Stony Brook n

PRINCE J. GRIMES STAFF WRITER

It has been a while since defensive back Quinton Littlejohn played a meaningful football game, Nov. 2, 2012 to be precise. That game against Seneca Valley High School marked the last time he stepped on the field as a Watkins Mill High School player before graduating from the Montgomery Village school. This fall, the redshirt freshman at Stony Brook University, is finally expected to see some game action after redshirting his freshman year at the New York school. Colleges often keep freshmen from playing their first season to extend their eligibility, to allow them to adjust to university life and give their bodies time to mature. “I’m anticipating getting a lot of playing time,” Littlejohn said. “But I’m not going to know until that first game starts and he calls my name to go out to the field.” Littlejohn, a second-team All-Gazette player in 2012, said it was hard at times last season to stay motivated to practice,

knowing that he wasn’t going to play in a game. But he said overall, the experience was “alright” because he felt like a part of the team. He said that in addition to helping him learn the game better, being redshirted also made him appreciate the game more. “Because you feel like you’re on the outside looking in,” Littlejohn said. “[I learned] little things like what a receiver does when he’s going to block or run a route. There’s certain nuances that you learn when you see it, actually on the field, as opposed to seeing it on film.” His coach at Watkins Mill, Kevin Watson, said that one of Littlejohn’s best attributes is the fact that he’s coachable and that could be one of the reason’s why sitting out of games didn’t impact him. “Even he had said when he first got there, ‘There’s grown men. ... I got to get a little bit bigger in order to really, really compete,’” Watson said. “In high school, you would probably run into a 6-foot-2, 200-pound receiver maybe like twice,” Littlejohn said. “But here, everybody’s bigger, everybody’s faster so you can’t necessarily rely on what got you through high school.” Other attributes that the 5-foot-11, 180-pound Little-

john flashed at Watkins Mill were good hips and good foot movement, according to Watson. But the No. 1 asset he possessed was speed. Littlejohn was a part of the Watkins Mill 800-meter relay team selected to the All-Gazette first team in 2012-13. His coach at Stony Brook, Chuck Priore, said he saw that speed this spring, when Littlejohn ran down his running back teammate from behind two times in one practice. Priore called Littlejohn, who runs 40 yards in 4.4 seconds, the fastest person on the team. “He’ll be on the field on a regular basis,” Priore said. Stony Brook is scheduled to play their first game of the season Aug. 28 against Bryant University. Littlejohn may get an opportunity to play in Maryland again when the Seawolves play Towson University on Oct. 4. “I want to get some picks.” Littlejohn said about his goals this fall. “I want to get at least three interceptions. You know, a few [passes broken-up], some tackles, maybe a fumble recovery or two. “Got to start humble. And then I’ll move up as I reach my goals.” pgrimes@gazette.net

The irrefutable fact is that Alice Miller’s granddaughter doesn’t live here anymore. Irrefutable and horriﬁc. In April 2013, the U.S. Army sergeant who recruited and seduced the Michelle Miller 17-year-old Rockville High School honor student and star athlete, murdered her and killed himself. And, thus, her grandmother contends, Michelle Miller became “the face of collateral damage.” “To the Army, she is just another statistic that they would

BOOKS probably prefer to forget,” Miller said. “Her family now lives with the loss … and continues a long journey through unimaginable loss and grief.” Miller, a Potomac psychotherapist who was already a published author, felt compelled to tell “the story of Michelle’s bright life and her tragic death… All I can do is something positive in her name.” Her book, “All That Bright Light,” she said, is “the story of that sorrow, spirituality and the struggle to reach forgiveness.” The original edition – printed in Michelle’s memory, and also in honor of the Wounded Warriors (“of which, she was one,” said Miller) – sold out at a reading.

Chevelle plays mix of classic hits, new songs from latest album

KIRSTY GROFF STAFF WRITER

Alternative metal outfit Chevelle has managed to keep their sound fresh while honoring their hits over the last 15 years, providing for a careerspanning set available to hear at their concert Tuesday at the Fillmore Silver Spring. Their 2002 platinum-album “Wonder What’s Next” featured two of their biggest hits, “The Red” and “Send The Pain Below.” However, the band hasn’t let their early success go to their heads; drummer Sam Loeffler and crew know the importance of making fans from all stages of their music career welcome — especially as concert-goers themselves. “I think because we’re fans, we know what it’s like to see a band play the new stuff and barely touch the old,” Loeffler said. “We still want to hear a lot of the hits. So we try to pepper them throughout our show.” Their upcoming Silver Spring show is part of a tour supporting their seventh album “La Gárgola,” which was released in April. The sound is heavier than longtime fans might expect, influenced by the likes of Marilyn Manson, Ministry and Rob Zombie. Keeping their music fresh has always been crucial to the members of Chevelle, currently with Pete Loeffler on lead vocals and guitar and Dean Bernardini on bass and backing vocals along with Sam’s percussion role. The process of creating an

album can be hard, with multiple takes on demos and producers cutting certain songs entirely. Ideas can be used up,

and patience can wear thin — changing up the style every now and then can keep the entire record process fresh from start to ﬁnish. “A lot of times, musicians will bask in that success and go and enjoy their life a little bit,” Loefﬂer said, “and unfortunately many times the more success you have, you don’t work as hard. At the end of the day, if you like the songs you’re writing that’s what counts. There are many people who have written records they don’t like.” Much like recording albums

Hours of practice take place each day — and that’s before even stepping on stage before the live audience. “You cannot get out on the stage in front of those people and play them or sing them like Pete does every night unless you know them, back and forwards,”

Program at Walter Reed Military Hospital. Miller has another important agenda in telling the story. “Many of the readers [of the original edition] have expressed outrage that the Army who, months earlier, had launched an investigation into the misdeeds of the sergeant, a predator with a history of encounters with young girls,” she said. “Had the Army acted on this knowledge, Michelle would be alive today.” “It is too late to save our Michelle,” Miller acknowledged. “But if we had the amendments that Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (N.Y.) is proposing [on how the military prosecutes rape and sexual assault], men like the sergeant might have been stopped and Michelle would be with us today. … perhaps this is a story that can save someone else’s daughter.” Miller has written three other books, the third, “On Becoming A Swan: Gardens Grace and Psychotherapy,” a personal memoir she said she wrote with her granddaughter “looking over my shoulder.” The two were close, living about four miles apart, and Michelle’s professional goal was to emulate her grandmother. Having completed “Swan” just before Michelle’s death, Miller felt unable to look at the manuscript. It sat in a box for months until she self-published via CreateSpace. Miller’s previous titles

CHEVELLE Continued from Page B-4 he said. “The only reason I can get up there and do it every day is because I do it every day.” While the set list looks similar from night to night, the band does drop and add certain songs based on the area in which the show is taking place or what charts well in that location. Washington, D.C., embraces rock more than other cities — making the area a huge market for Chevelle. After factoring in local hits, the group ends up with 16 to 18 songs — depending on how Pete’s voice is doing that day —

Page B-5 are “To Everything There is a Season: A Psychotherapist’s Spiritual Journey Through the Garden” and “A Thyme for Peace,” a psychotherapist’s search for inner peace. Miller’s family moved from Boston to Kensington when she was in elementary school. Back then, she aspired to be a journalist – that is, she said, after a career as a ballet teacher. Instead of dance, she proceeded from Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School to study journalism and sociology at Penn State University. Post-graduation, Miller and her husband became youth group counselors at their church, where they ran a coffee house and served on a task force focused on youth and drugs. Realizing she “loved working with kids and church groups,” Miller felt it “made sense to go do something…everybody was studying the problems, but nobody was doing anything.” A rented two-room apartment across from Montgomery Mall became the home of The Listening Post, a youth crisis center where anyone could drop in and talk candidly. She remembers all the tales of loneliness and isolation. The local police were supportive, and the Justice Department gave them several grants during its 4 1/2-year tenure. Miller enhanced her academic credentials by earning a master’s degree in counseling at American University and a doctorate in clinical social work at

the University of Maryland. She also took numerous courses in psychology. Master’s degree completed, Miller moved on as a therapist, and then director, of Karma House for Girls in Rockville, a residential therapeutic community for drug abusers, most with a dual diagnosis. About two years later, while working on her doctorate, she briefly went into private practice and then spent five or six years as a psychotherapist for Metropolitan Psychiatric Group (connected with Psychiatric Institute), where “the collegial part was great.” She has had a private practice in a converted area of her home for about 16 years. “I’m one of those lucky people who is doing just exactly what I want to be doing,” Miller said. “I love working with people, being a catalyst for people, guiding them to wherever they need to be. It’s work that feels valuable and important.” Her goals now, Miller said, are to continue her practice and tend the woodland garden she created; to improve her writing and find a new publisher, and to become a better cellist. “I have music in my heart, and I need to get it out,” she said, acknowledging her impossible dream is to be first cello with the National Symphony Orchestra. Alice Miller counts her many blessings. But she will always have a hole in her heart.

covering all areas of their catalog. Though this tour is in support of “La Gárgola,” only four or five songs from the new album make it every night, leaving plenty of room for all of the songs fans want to experience during their night out. “We’ve always had the idea that a live rock show is supposed to give you a break from your real life — you can sing some songs, remember when you first heard them, have a beer and a controlled escape from your real life, something that makes you feel good,” Loeffler said. “We hope that they have a good time, that they sang along, jumped up and

down — because that’s what I look for at concerts.” From their diverse sound to their customized set lists from city to city, Chevelle seems to be making all of the right decisions 15 years out — veterans in an industry that still proves exciting for the trio. “What amazes me is that we’re still connecting, we’re still making new fans,” Loefﬂer said. “We can see that by looking out at our audience. That’s probably one of the most exciting things — and hearing the music on the radio, that never ever gets old.”

Alice Miller’s books are available at amazon.com.

Pinkalicious can’t stop eating pink cupcakes in Adventure Theatre-MTC’s production of “Pinkalicious,” playing now through Aug. 31.

Pink is my favorite color

Give and take

OMG! Pink! It looks good on everything, right? The best things in the world are pink! Bubble gum, um ... pink crayons. You get the idea! So is the world for Pinkalicious, who loves — almost to a frightening degree — the color pink. There can be, however, too much of a good thing. “Pinkalicious,” will be wrapping up its run at Adventure Theatre-MTC in Glen Echo on Aug. 31. Based on the book by Victoria and Elizabeth Kann, Pinkalicious ends up in the doctor’s ofﬁce with an acute case of Pinkititis, which turns her pink from head to toe. This hilarious musical is perfect for children, but entertaining enough for the whole family. Little ones can get in on the action, too! With the purchase of a Pinkalicious crown on Aug. 30, children can enjoy a Pinkalicious styling, including playing dress up and having their photos taken. For prices, dates, and times, visit adventuretheatremtc.org or call 301-634-2270.

IMAGINATION STAGE

When rock and art collide Not everyone can be called the “Rockstar of the Art World.” When you look like Michael Godard, however, it’s easy to understand why he might be confused with a rocker. Behind the long, black hair and all the tattoos lies the artistic genius. Godard’s works will be on display at the Wentworth Gallery at the Westﬁeld Montgomery Mall in Bethesda from 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday. Later that day, the exhibit will travel down to Fairfax County, where it visits the Wentworth Gallery at Tysons Galleria in McLean, Va., from 6 to 9 p.m. Godard’s pieces, from the whimsical to the thought provoking, are collected by big names all over the world, including rock stars such as Ozzy Osbourne, who said folks will deﬁnitely go crazy over his work. It’s not all fun and games, though. Godard lost his 16-year-old daughter to brain cancer in 2006. Since then, he has spent a considerable amount of time and money working with St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital, the Make-a-Wish Foundation, the Nevada Cancer Institute and

Jonathan and the Family Sloane

Blues, funk, rock ‘n’ roll — it’s all good for Jonathan Sloane. I mean, he has been playing since he was 6 years old. And it’s kind of in his blood. The Jonathan Sloane Trio is set to perform at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday at the Bethesda Blues and Jazz Supper Club. Sloane started playing drums when he was 7, followed by the guitar when he was 9. His grandfather was Irving Sloane, a steel and nylon string luthier. He built classical and steel string guitars by hand and wrote several books about it. Irving died when Sloane was 8, but he says he has fond memories of granddad, including him being a parlor-jazz style piano player. With Sloane are Nathan Graham on drums and Robbie Cooper on bass, providing the backbone of the blues and funk for the trio. Tickets for the show are $10. For more information, visit bethesdabluesjazz.com or call 240-330-4500.

YEVHEN RAKHNO

The Ukrainian folk quartet DakhaBrakha will be performing at Strathmore as part of its free Summer Outdoor Concert Series.

OK, let’s just get it out there — sure, the Ukrainian folk quartet DakhaBrakha has a rather unusual name. But when you take into consideration the group’s name comes from the Ukrainian verbs for “give” and “take,” it might make a little more sense. Every Wednesday for the past several weeks, Strathmore has celebrated the summer with its Free Summer Outdoor Concert series. DakhaBrakha will close out the run at 7 p.m. Wednesday. The performers from Kiev have a distinct world music sound, blending traditional Ukrainian music with sounds from India, Arabia, Africa, Russia and Australia, just to name a few. They have released ﬁve albums and won the Sergey Kuryokhin Prize in 2009. Seating for the outdoor concert is as it always is — bring blankets or low beach chairs. You’ll have an array of food choices, from pulled pork to hot dogs and more. Strathmore will also be accepting used musical instruments to be donated to Hungry for Music, which helps bring music to underprivileged children. For more information, visit strathmore.org or call 301-581-5100.
