Olney college studentinterns at NIH

Evan Harris, 19, of Olney re-cently completed an internshipat the National Institute of ChildHealth and Human Develop-ment.

Harris, a junior at St. Mary’sCollege of Maryland, spent twomonths working in the lab, help-ing develop a potential model tostudy effective treatments forpost-traumatic stress disorder.

Harris was interviewed foran NIH publication followinghis internship.

“Failure is a learning pro-cess,” Harris said in the article.“Most problems have more thanone solution. I find it really en-joyable to keep working at it.”

Harris was one of 80 internsselected out of thousands of ap-plicants during a competitiveprocess for the opportunity tolearn along with scientists in alab environment.

Harris developed an inter-est in science while attendingSherwood High School in SandySpring.

After taking an AdvancedPlacement biology class andwatching several relatives andfriends battle aggressive cancers,he was motivated to learn moreabout biomedical research.

“I have a drive to pursue sci-ence and research so that otherpeople don’t have to go throughthe agony of loss,” he said.

Harris said the biggest lessonhe learned during the internshipis that the path to scientific dis-covery requires persistence.

“I’ve learned that things inthe lab are going to go wrongconstantly,” he said. “You haveto be patient, flexible, and will-ing to try new ways to reach yourend goal.”

Applications for the 2015Summer Internship Programin Biomedical Research at NIHwill be available in November attraining.nih.gov/programs/sip.

from Boy Scout Troop 759 ofAshton.

The project involved about25 volunteers and over 200 man-hours to complete.

The day the labyrinth wascompleted, Smith heard thatHenry Malcolm, a beloved pa-rishioner of St. Luke’s and hismentor on the project, was dy-ing. Smith decided to dedicatethe labyrinth to him.

Mariann Budde, the Episco-pal bishop of Washington, D.C.,consecrated the Henry MalcolmLabyrinth.

St. Luke’s is on the cornerof New Hampshire Avenue andBrighton Dam Road.

n Judge denies request to preventutility cutting down trees on private

properties in Potomac

BY KATE S. ALEXANDERSTAFF WRITER

A Montgomery County Circuit Courtjudge has denied a request from severalPotomac residents to stop Pepco from re-moving trees from their properties, andresidents fear the utility will starting cuttingimmediately.

Judge Michael D. Mason denied Thurs-day morning a motion for preliminary in-junction that a group of eight homeownersin the Potomac Crest neighborhood hadfiled. The injunction would have temporar-ily stopped the utility from removing about50 trees on four private properties until afull case on the issue could be heard.

Pepco claimed the right to remove thetrees under a 1950s document, known as an“inquisition,” an easement which the utilitysays gives it the right to remove trees at itsdiscretion that are within 75 feet of a miles-long swath of utility land that runs from Po-tomac to Germantown.

The plaintiffs challenged that right, butin his order from the bench, Mason said theplaintiffs did not meet their burden to ob-tain an injunction.

Considering how quickly Pepco cut thetrees on its right of way after the first hear-ing, plaintiffs who attended Thursday’sbench ruling said they expected Pepco tobeing cutting their trees immediately.

It is unknown yet if the plaintiffs willappeal.

“What I am going to imagine is this isnot the last word on this,” said Gregg Ber-man, a plaintiff in the case. “It’s the firstword.”

Berman said the case changes what it

means to be a homeowner in MontgomeryCounty.

“Today I pay $12,000 a year in [prop-erty] taxes to Montgomery County for astrip of land that is 100 feet deep,” Bermansaid of his property. But Berman said theruling Thursday tells him that 75 feet of thatis not really his.

Jake Liang, a plaintiff in the case, saidthe matter could be up to Maryland law-makers to remedy.

The General Assembly passed legisla-tion in an effort to force the utility to im-prove its reliability. That law created thestandards that require the utility removerather than prune the trees, Pepco argued.

For Liang and other property ownersalong the utility right of way, the tree cut-ting is an unintended consequence of law-makers pushing Pepco to be more reliable,he said.

Judge won’t stop Pepco tree cutting

n ‘Be a Friend First’offered to

middle schoolers

BY PEGGY MCEWANSTAFF WRITER

Lauren Barnes put her verycolorful tennis shoe — purpleand pink with neon chartreuselaces — on a paper on her deskand traced the outline. Thenshe wrote some adjectives inthe center describing herself.

Lauren, who lives in ChevyChase, and five other girls fromParkland Middle School inRockville were doing a warm-up exercise Oct. 14, getting toknow each other better in theBe a Friend First program of-fered to middle schoolers bythe Girl Scout Council of theNation’s Capital as part of itsYoung Leaders Program.

It is a bully-prevention pro-gram, one that teaches girls notto bully and to stand up againstbullying when they see it, saidJinny Jang, membership spe-cialist for the Girl Scouts.

“Good friends don’t bully,”Jang said.

Be a Friend First is an eight-part program for girls in gradessix through eight that alsoserves as an introduction to theGirl Scouts for girls not alreadyinvolved in Scouting.

Seven girls signed up for theprogram at Parkland. The pro-gram started Oct. 7 and meetsevery Tuesday after school.

Sixth-grader Wairimu Ma-gua of Silver Spring said shejoined because a friend recom-mended Girl Scouts to her lastyear.

“I’d like to get out and

make the world a better place,”Wairimu said. “I’d like to stopa lot of stuff hurting our world,like bullying and pollution.”

Bintou Madjingar, aneighth-grader also from SilverSpring, said that so far the pro-gram has been fun and helpful.

“I’m trying to look intohaving a good time, not alwaysjudging each other and having[more] confidence,” Bintousaid.

Nationwide, bullying is aserious problem, according tothe website stopbullying.gov,and middle schoolers are morelikely to be bullied than their

younger or older peers. Accord-ing to the website, 39 percentof sixth-graders, 33 percent ofseventh-graders and 32 per-cent of eighth-graders reportedbeing bullied, while the statis-tics for high school studentswere all in the 20 percent to 28percent range, dropping off to20 percent in grade 12.

Girl Scout field assistantMarquita Campbell led thegirls through their activitiesand readings on friendshipuntil the discussion turned tostereotyping others, just whereshe wanted the conversation togo.

“What does stereotypinglook like?” she asked.

It took a while, but thegroup finally decided on a ste-reotype: Kids who wear glassesare considered nerds. Theylooked at the stereotype anddiscussed it.

Then came another topicthat hit close to home for Su-sanna Cisneros, an eighth-grader from Rockville.

“If you are Spanish,” shesaid, “people think you are im-migrants.”

Susanna said that is whyshe joined the group.

“I’m Spanish, and I feel badwhen people say that [aboutimmigrants],” she said. “In Bea Friend First I want to learnmore and how to have morefriends.”

Campbell said that by theend of the eight-week programthe girls will have worked theirway through “aMAZE,” theircourse handbook subtitled,“The twists and turns of gettingalong.” They also will design atake-action program for theirschool or community.

“It’s not just about service,”Campbell said. “It’s about shar-ing what they learned.”

Last year, Jang said, thetake-action program at ArgyleMiddle School in Silver Spring,which offered the program,was to create a video.

“They did a public serviceannouncement around notbullying about hair,” she said.“The whole point was that hairis beautiful.”

Campbell said she and thestudents would work togetherto design their action plan.

n Rockville won’t be aloneif it allows fowl

BY RYAN MARSHALLSTAFF WRITER

AsRockvilleponderswhetherto allow city residents to keepa small number of chickens attheir homes, other areas that al-low the birds may be able to offersomedirectiononhowtooverseethem.

A proposal being consideredby the mayor and council wouldchange the city’s animal controllaws to allow residents in single-family homes to keep up to fivechickens, although roosterswould be banned.

The change would establishregulations for chicken coopsand shelters, including how farthe structures must be built fromproperty lines and homes.

Slaughtering of chickens on

residential properties would bebanned.

Chickens could also be keptby schools and day care facilitiesfor educational purposes, and bylaboratories for research and sci-entific purchases.

Gaithersburg, Takoma Park,Miami, Denver, Los Angeles,PortlandandSeattleallallowresi-dents to keep backyard chickens.

Takoma Park doesn’t haveany ordinances regarding chick-ens, Housing and CommunityDevelopment Director SaraDaines said.

But if someone in the citywould want to build a coop,they would have to abide by thecounty zoning ordinance regard-ing property line setbacks andother regulations, she said.

According to a study pub-lished on the website urbanch-ickens.org, which analyzedordinances in 25 cities that al-lowed the keeping of chickens,

mostareasallowedkeeping threeor four chickens, enough to sup-ply between one and two dozeneggs per week.

Of the 25 cities that allowedchickens,only fourallowedroost-ers, according to the report.

One of the cities allowedroosters if they were kept a cer-tain distance from surroundinghomes,oneonlyallowedroostersyounger than four months old, athird allowed one rooster perhousehold and the fourthdidnotput any restrictions on roosterownership.

Daines said people will calloccasionally to ask about chick-ens, and there are periodic com-plaints about roosters crowing.

Those complaints are re-ferred to the town police de-partment to investigate possibleviolations of the town’s noise or-dinance, she said.

n Newton: ‘You can’tlegislate taste’

BY RYANMARSHALLSTAFFWRITER

Rockville’smayor and coun-cil will take more time to con-sider the problemof how to dealwith new or renovated housesthat dwarf their neighbors.

Deane Mellander, the city’szoning administrator, told themayor and council Mondaynight that the houses meet thecity’s zoning code, but oftenclash with the neighborhoodaround them because the otherhouses are much smaller, olderhomes.

In September 2013, theprevious mayor and councildiscussed possible solutions in-cluding restricting fully exposedbasements, requiring detailing

to the outside of homes and re-quiring a certain size of eavesfor a home’s roof; limiting theheight and number of storiesthat a house could be; limitingthe ratio of a home’s total floorarea to the size of the lot it’s builton; and limiting the number ofbedrooms and bathrooms thatcouldbe in ahome.

But there may not be a sim-ple fix for the city to enact.

When you factor in the age,size, height and styles of homesthroughout the city, finding along-term solution would re-quire looking at each neighbor-hoodor zoning region’sphysicalcharacteristics, according to areport fromcity staff.

“We have yet to identify a‘one size fits all’ solution,” Mel-lander saidMonday.

Mayor Bridget DonnellNewton said some people willdo a good job of designing their

homes to blend in with the sur-roundingareasandotherswon’tnomatterwhat the city does.

“You can’t legislate taste,”Newton said.

Youmaynotbeable to legis-late taste,butyoucanincentivizeit, CouncilmanTomMoore said.

Youcan’t stopsomeonewhobuilds an ugly house, but youcan rewardsomeonewhobuildsa home that blends in with itssurroundings through propertytax credits or other means, hesaid.

Councilwoman Beryl Fein-berg saidwhen she andher hus-band added on to their home,their neighbors were notifiedand had a chance to commenton theproposed addition.

None of their neighbors did,she said.

But Feinberg said she be-lieves it was right to give herneighbors the opportunity to

weigh in.Councilwoman Julie Pala-

kovich Carr said she had someconcernswithnotification.

It’s one thing to alert neigh-bors that a project is beingconsidered, but she wouldn’twant to create expectationsthat neighbors would have vetopower over someone’s project.

People have a right to build,but they also have to considerthe rights of a person who hasa smaller house next door, saidCouncilwoman Virginia Onley,adding that she didn’t knowwhat the solution is.

Theyagreed to take the issueback up in the next few weeks,with Newton asking staff to findout how surrounding areas suchas Bethesda, Chevy Chase andKensington have handled theissue.

Rockville seeks info on controlling large houses

n School toutedas the heart of the

Olney Mill community

BY TERRIHOGANSTAFFWRITER

Belmont Elementary Schoolcelebrated its 40th anniversarywith a grand celebration held inthe school’s gymnasium onOct.15.

The recurring theme, spo-ken by Principal Evan Pinkowitzand several others, was that Bel-mont is, and always has been, aspecial place, and the center ofthe community.

Pinkowitz credits four de-cades of success to loyal staff,supportive parents, and stu-dents who are engaging.

Three of the school’s fourprevious principals attendedthe event, including BarbaraContrera who first opened Bel-mont in 1973, Barbara Cronin(1987-2000) and Dr. Peter Bray(2000-2103).

“It’s good to be home,”said Bray after an enthusiasticround of applause in his honor.“I will remember those 13 yearsfondly.”

County Executive IsiahLeggett and Sen. Karen S.Mont-gomery (D-Dist. 14) of Brookev-ille presented the school withproclamations.

Other attendees and speak-ers included MontgomeryCounty School SuperintendentDr. Joshua Starr, Associate Su-perintendent of ElementarySchools Dr. Myra Smith, Boardof Education President PhilipKaufman, and Delegates AnneKaiser (D-Dist. 14) of Calverton,and Craig Zucker (D-Dist 14) ofBrookeville.

Students were involved inthe celebration, as well.

Makayla Songco, a second-grader, led the Pledge of Al-legiance, and members of thestudent band performed twoselections.

Sean Songco, Makayla’s fa-ther, was a student at Belmontwhen it opened.He spoke abouthis experiences at the school 40years ago, andhavingadaughterattend there today.

Sean said that while thingshave changed in terms of in-struction, the atmosphere is thesame as he remembers.

“I am excited that mydaughter gets to attend the sameschool I did,” he said. “Belmontis still a great place to be.”

He said some things remainthe same, such as the school’sannual book fair. “I rememberthat being a highlight, and it isforMakayla, too.”

Makayla said she is excitedto attend the same school thather dad did.

“It’s really fun to go to thesame school that my dad wentto,” she said. “I really like myfriends andmy teachers.”

PTSA lead Paul Geller an-nounced that that for the firsttimeever in the county, studentshave joined the Belmont’s PTA,making it now a PTSA. Thereare currently 521 members,representing 168 percent of theschool’s population.

“That’s a county record,”he said. “That’s the spirit of thisschool, just showing through.”

Geller, often seen wear-ing a Hawaiian shirt, is knownfor bringing an abundance ofenergy and dedication to theschool and the organization.

“We moved here because ofBelmont,” saidGeller, theparentof twochildren. “Weknewaboutthe active parent community.”

Kaufman spoke about theschool’s renovation/expansion,which is currently planned for2021.

The school was built in 1973when the trend was to buildschools with an open floor plan,which presents challenges to-day, in terms of noise and en-ergy efficiency.

Belmont sits on propertythat was once part an 800-acrefarm owned by the Waters fam-ily,whoownedmuchof the landbetweenOlney and Brookeville.

The school was named afterthe brick manor house built in1747 byWilliamWaters.

The school, which is at19528 OlneyMill Road in Olney,currently has 311 students.

n Kirkland email includedanti-Semitic slurs

BY BILL TURQUETHEWASHINGTON POST

The Montgomery Repub-lican Party last week droppedits support of a County Councilcandidate after disclosure of ane-mail hewrote containing anti-Semitic statements.

Jim Kirkland, the GOP chal-lenger to incumbent Roger Ber-liner (D-Dist. 1) of Bethesda, ranunopposed in the June primary.On Oct. 14, while researching astory about next month’s gen-eral election, aWashington Postreporter discovered a Feb. 5 e-mail Kirkland had sent to himthat included the slurs.

After reviewing Kirkland’se-mail that evening, the countyGOPexecutive boarddecided toremove his name from the Re-publican sample ballot that theparty had started printing. Hisname also has been droppedfrom the party website. It re-mains, however, on the officialstate ballot voterswill seeNov. 4

County Chairman MichaelHiggs said he spoke to Kirklandon twooccasions at party eventsthis year and encouragedhim torun. At no time, Higgs said, didKirkland make any anti-Semiticcomments.

“I never received any com-mentary like that from him,”Higgs said, adding that if hehad,“I would have asked him not torun.”

Kirkland, 57, who describeshimself as a part-time yardworker, wrote to The Post onFeb. 5, complaining that thecounty had fined his 86-year-old mother $500 over the 2013Christmas holiday for failing tocomplete work on the roof ofher home.

Kirkland said he blameda Jewish couple in his NorthBethesda neighborhood for fil-

ing an anonymous complaint.He said Jews were responsiblefor half of the county’s propertycode complaints.

“The obvious complain-ant is usually Jewish,” Kirklandwrote. “We have concluded thatthis amounts to an unacknowl-edged (Jewish) policy of forcingblue-collar residents out of thecounty. Sounds harsh? MAYBEIT’S TRUE!”

Asked last week if he stoodby the comments, Kirkland said:“Yeah, probably. ... Thepercent-age of Jewish people in this dis-trict is quite high.”

Kirkland said Oct. 15 that hewould have no comment on theparty’s decision until he heardofficially fromHiggs.

Higgs said the party hadno vetting process in place forprimary candidates and thatbecause Kirkland had no oppo-sition, his views did not come tolight.

“We stay away from pickingand choosing our candidatespreprimary,” he said. “We en-courage any and all to run. Un-fortunately, when you fail to getenough interest in a race, you’releft with no primary to judgepeople.”

Asked how the party mightprevent candidates with Kirk-land’s views from running inthe future, Higgs said, “We canfind more qualified candidatesto run for office in the first placeand have primaries where thiskind of thing can be ferretedout.”

Democrats outnumber Re-publicans by a 3-to-1 ratio inthe county.

Berliner, running for a thirdterm, commended Republicanleaders for acting quickly to dis-avow Kirkland.

“I’m grateful that the Re-publican Party recognizes thereis noplace for people like that inthe political process,” said Ber-liner, who is Jewish.

What better time to learnabout ignorance than in highschool?

Student thespians atThomasS.WoottonHighSchoolinRockvilleare learning justhowdysfunctional a townof ignorantpeople canbe, even if it’s causedby a curse.

The students will present“Fools” by Neil Simon Fridaythrough Sunday in one of thefirst of the county’s many highschool fall productions, most ofwhich will be offered in Novem-ber.

With just eight days toopen-ing night, the school’s Centerfor Performing Arts was busyand noisy Oct. 16, with actorsrehearsing, and stage crewmembers painting, hammeringand moving sets about. Light-ing technicians tried to get eachspotlight pointing in exactly theright place.

Twenty student actors, 25production crew members andan assortment of other volun-teers were all working to bring

off a weekend of fun and funnyentertainment while learningtheater arts and a lesson or twoon ignorance and friendship.

Wootton has theater classesthat students can take for credit,said Jessica Speck, theater artsteacher, but students involvedin the school’s productions donot get credit or service learninghours.

“They get a better sense ofthemselves and are able to testtheir personal limits,” she said.

And it’s fun, said ChrisHechler, a junior who plays themale lead in “Fools,” as he likes

workingwith other students.“Weareall suchgoodfriends

and to be able to do somethingtogether after school is suchgreat fun,” he said. “And I like todo comedy. We are having fundelivering jokes.”

Senior Dania Assas, stagemanager for “Fools,” has actedin a number of Wootton plays.She said her mother put her inacting class when she was ingrade school because shewas soshy. Acting can improve publicspeaking and communicationskills, she said, but her favoritepart is thepeople.

“I like the overall theatercommunity at school,” she said.“Everybody is so supportive andaccepting of [each other] andwhat they have to offer the pro-gram.”

Sophomore Emily Rayagreed.

“Last year as a freshman Ireally liked coming to rehearsalsandmaking friends,” she said

Speck, who has been teach-ing high school drama for 17years, said she too started actingin high school and remembersthe camaraderie and fun. Butbigger lessons also are involved.

“What I hope to pass on tomy students is empathy andbeing open to new experiencesand being patient with the dif-ferenceswe all have,” she said.

“Fools” will be presented at7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday,plus 2 p.m. Sunday. General ad-mission is $10 and tickets canbepurchased at the door with cashorcheckonly.Formore informa-tion, call 301-279-8589 or [email protected].

BY TERRI HOGANSTAFFWRITER

Fieldof Screamswon thefirsthaunted house design and buildcompetition on A&E Network’s“TinyHouseNation.”

The program, shownWednesday, featured a teamfromOlney Boys and Girls Com-munitySportsAssociation’sFieldof Screams, competing againsttwo nationally recognizedhaunted house builders, Night-mare on 13th from Salt Lake Cityand Queen Mary’s Dark HarborfromLongBeach, Calif.

The show will be televisedagain through Halloween andintonext season.

The victory came after an ap-plication, audition and selectionprocess inwhichthefinalistsbeatout numerous competitors fromacross the country.

“Itwasanhonor tobechosenas theEastCoasthaunt represen-tative, given howcompetitive thesearch process was and that somanywanted the one spot,” saidDan Dionisio, chairman of theOlneygroup.“Itwas theculmina-tion of a lot of years of hard workby theamazing teamofdesignersand builders we have developedat the Field of Screams.”

Mike Lado, 26, who led theOlney team, grew up in Olney,graduating in 2006 from Sher-wood High School in SandySpring.

“I’ve always been fascinatedby art, theater and the macabreandamgenerallyquirky,”hesaid.

In 2006 he responded to a re-questbyFieldof Screams lookingfor props, and has continued towork each season since.

“Field of Screams has al-ways been a really edgy, forwardplace,” he said. “It has grownexponentially, allowing us to ex-pand into costume, set designandmakeup.”

The Olney team comprisedLado, Joshua Weinstein of Olneyand Kurt Hopkin of Rockville.None had ever been in a tinyhouse before, but they dealt withits challenges.

They brought some propsand lumber with them, andworkedmore than 20 hours dailyfor fivedays topull it together.

“The best part is how muchstrongerourteambecame,duetorelying on each other somuch tomake this dream happen,” Lado

said.He said they remained con-

fident, drawing from their ex-perience of working on tightdeadlines to deliver a quality ex-perience for their customers.

“We have a similar room inour haunted house at Field ofScreams, where we develop astory line and let the scenery tellthe story,” he said.

He said there were plenty oftimeswhentheybecamestressedduring the competition.

“We had a job to do, and wewanted to make the communityproud and show everyone whatField of Screams is,” Lado said.

During the competition,Lado said, the designers were sobusy they refused to look at theother houses.

“They were all impressive,but we were super-excited aboutwhat we came up with,” he said.“There was a weird smell and anelectricatmosphere.Weputall ofour heart into it to make sure weinvolved all of the senses.”

The three haunted tinyhouseswereunveiledtoresidentsof theBlueMoonRising commu-nity in Western Maryland, whothen votedon thewinner.

There were no prizes, butLado said that just being selectedto participate and beating two ofthebest“hauntrepreneurs” inthecountrywas aprize in itself.

“I do a lot of personalwork infinearts,oilpaintingandcostum-ing, so I hope that winning willboost interest in that,” he said.

He said Field of Screams has

been busier than usual this sea-son, breaking past attendancerecords.

“I’m just grateful for the op-portunity to be part of Field ofScreams,” he said. “It’s a sup-portive community, I get to letmy quirkiness happen, andworkwith an incredible team.”

“Tiny House Nation,” onA&E’s FYI channel, has morethan 1 million weekly viewersand is one of this year’s fastest-growingcableshows. Ithighlightsthe growing trend toward smallhouses.

Field of Screams, operatingfor 14 years, features a hauntedtrail,houseandhayride.Proceedsbenefit the Olney group’s youthsports leagues.

“Our people work hard year-round and winning a nationalcompetition in a manner thatshowsour customerswhatwedofor themandwhatgoes intothesebuilds is a rare opportunity,” Di-onisio said.

n Online directory ofbusinesses expected to

launch next month

BY ELIZABETHWAIBEL

STAFFWRITER

No decision has yet beenmade on a possible new namefor theWhite Flint area.

A group of developershosted a public forum in Sep-tember to discuss picking a newname to market the White Flintarea nationally. Evan Goldman,vice president for developmentat Federal Realty InvestmentTrust ofRockville, said thegroupexpects to get some data onpossible names in November,but he was unsure when a newnamemight be chosen.

Picking anewname formar-keting purposes does not meanchanging postal addresses,but some have argued that itwould give the area a more co-hesive identity that is lackingbecause the White Flint area isalternately identified as NorthBethesda, Rockville or Kensing-ton by the U.S. Postal Service,

residents and real estate agents.Meanwhile, the county is

moving forward with a websitefor the district that will includebusiness directories and news.

KenHartman,directorof theBethesda-ChevyChaseRegionalServices Center, said at a WhiteFlint Implementation AdvisoryCommitteemeetingOct. 14 thathe hopes to have a website, Me-troWhiteFlint.org, operating byThanksgiving.

Some other domain nameshave been reserved, Hartmansaid, in case a new name is cho-sen for the district, but thoseworking on the site don’t wantto delay its launch any longerwhile its possible renaming isdebated.

“We are fully aware that atany time there might be a con-sensus on a name, a brand,”Hartman said. If that happens,designers can adjust the web-site.

Goldman said his grouplikely will not pick its preferredname before Thanksgiving, andeven if it does, it will take time todesign a logo ready for theWeb.

No new name yetfor White Flintn Club boasts

26 members, meetsweekly for breakfast

BY TERRIHOGANSTAFFWRITER

After nearly folding threeyears ago, the Olney RotaryClub is going strong.

What was once consideredan “old guys club” has givenway to a vibrant mix of localprofessionals, looking to helpthe community.

President Adriana Colback,a financial adviser for EdwardJones in Olney, is a busy momof three young kids, who hardlyfits the oldmold.

She became involved inRotary when she lived in Cali-fornia. When she worked in thecorporate world, there were in-ternal organizations for her tojoin.

Once she joined EdwardJones, she had to look on herown to find something to com-plement her entrepreneurialvision.

She joined the Rotary Club,and as a native of South Amer-ica, she took on the role of di-rector of international services.

Once she landed in Olney,she said it was natural to join itsRotary Club.

The Olney Rotary Club waschartered in 1951. Over the de-cades, however, its member-ship dwindled.

By 2011, there were only afewmembersand therewas talkof deactivating the club.

It had always been a supper

club,withmembersmeeting fordinner and networkingweekly.

Bob Schott, Rotarymemberfor 37 years and past presidentof the Olney club, said the de-cision was made to switch tobreakfastmeetings.

“Young families want tospend time together, which isa good thing,” he said. “Tak-ing an evening out every weekfor Rotary is a big sacrifice, soa breakfast model works better.That sells well in a communitylike Olney.”

With the shift to morningmeetings, changes were alsomade to the dues structure andattendance requirements wererelaxed.

“There were a lot of factors,

but new leadership and a newapproach were very helpful,”he said.

Stephanie Fenner, theclub’s president during thetransition, agreed that the turn-around has been significant.

“Now we are rocking androlling with 26 members, andwe have a fewmore that are in-terested in joining,” she said.

The club meets for an hourat 7:30 a.m. Thursdays at theOlney Community Room in theBuffington Re/Max Building,3300Olney-Sandy Spring Road.

Visitors are welcome, andcan learn more at the club’swebsite, olneyrotary.org.

Each meeting features aguest speaker, such as busi-nesspeople, county officialsand representatives from non-profits.

Some also credit the orga-nization’s success to a thrivingmix ofmembers.

“We are quite an eclecticmix,” Fenner said. “Most of ourmembers range from their 30sto their 50s,” she said. “We areno longer that ‘old guys’ club.”

Colback credits Schott,

Terry Anderson and SteveBrown — the three memberswho stuck it out when the clubwas in jeopardy of collapsing.

“They stayed and enduredthemomentofdoubt,” she said.“Theyare still very involvedandalways willing to help.”

Colback, who took overas president in July, said hertheme is “teamwork.”

“I am a busy mom whoworks full time, so I neededhelp,” she said. “The membersare all very devoted and willingto help, so it is running like awell-oiledmachine.”

The club maintains thesoutheast corner at the inter-section of Md. 97 and 108, andparticipates in many commu-nity projects, include CampFantastic, Camp Friendship,Joe’s Ride, the Olney Boys andGirls Community Sports As-sociation and an annual blooddrive.

Internationally, the OlneyRotary Club participates in theCyprus Friendship Program,which provides an opportunityfor teens from each side of thedivided nation of Cyprus tolearn fromeachother about thecultural differences that dividetheir nation.

Local families, includingSchott’s, host pairs of teensduring the summer. Each pairincludes a representative fromboth the Muslim and Christiancommunities in Cyprus.

This bonding experiencein a neutral environment oftenresults in a strong friendship,organizers said. Activities inthe U.S. and Cyprus after thestudents return allow them tobecome peace builders whoare trained in how to influencetheir peers.

According to its website,rotary.org, Rotary is an inter-national service organizationcomprising 1.2 million mem-berswhowork tocreatepositivechange in their communitiesand around theworld.

n Campaign focuseson corruption reform,

cost of living in Maryland

BY KATE S. ALEXANDER

STAFFWRITER

If voters want a new Marylandcomptroller, a Silver Spring womanhopes they respond in November with“Phukan-A.”

Write-in candidateAnjali ReedPhu-

kan (pronounced FOO-con), 36, isasking supporters to write her name inon theNov. 4 ballot.

“Let’s set things right: Write in‘PHUKAN-A’ for Comptroller of Mary-land this fall!” her campaign materialssay. “Phukan-A—That’s write!”

According to the Maryland Boardof Elections, voters can write in a can-

didate’s full name,last name and firstinitial, or last name,as longas the inten-tion is clear.

Phukan, whoworks at a Rockvillecemetery, facesincumbent PeterV.R. Franchot (D)and William “Bill”

Campbell (R) in the race for comptroller.A founder of The Service Party, a

new political party in Maryland, Phu-kan is running as a write-in candidatebecause her party does not have staterecognition. To earn state recognition,the party must file a petition with thestate that must include, among otherrequirements, the signatures of 10,000registered voters.

The Service Party focuses on prin-ciples of experience, inclusion and

service. It was formed, she said, basedon her experiences, including those inother political parties and as part of theOccupy movement. Phukan said shelived for a year in Occupy camps acrossthe nation.

The Occupy movement was an in-ternational protest against social andeconomic inequality.

“I’ve been a member of the Demo-crat Party, the Republican Party and theGreen Party, so I’ve seen the good andbad in all of those,” Phukan said.

The Service Party, she said, believesthat candidates for office should haveexperience and should be “in servicebefore they’re of service.” To date, theparty has threemembers, she said.

Phukan chose to run for comptrol-ler, in part, because of her experienceand past service.

She said she passed the certifiedpublic accountant exam and has years

of accounting and systems audit experi-ence in both the private and public sec-tors.

She holds a master of business ad-ministration degree from AmericanUniversity and a master’s degree in in-formation systems from University ofMaryland Baltimore County. She alsohas a bachelor’s degree in business,with a focus in environmental ethicsand accounting, from Trinity College inWashington,D.C.,nowknownasTrinityWashingtonUniversity.

Phukan’s campaign focuses oncorruption reform, the cost of living inMaryland, and investing in the future.

“There seems to be a lot of corrup-tion in Maryland and globally and itusually comes down to money,” shesaid.

If elected, Phukan would increaseaudits and work to ensure state moneyis spent efficiently, effectively andprop-

erly. She said shewouldwork toprovideamnesty from interest and penalties forpeople working to adjust prior tax fil-ings.

Shewants tomake it easier to reportand pay taxes by opening a comptrol-ler’s office on the Eastern shore and byexpanding online reporting. And she’dpush to remove tolls, saying shebelievestolls are unconstitutional.

As she campaigns, Phukan said, shegoes to as many events as she can andhands her cards to as many people asshe can, but is not really raisingmoney.She has a fundraising blurb onherweb-site, but has raised only $20.

“If I win this election, nobody gaveme a $10,000 grant, so there’s nobodyI can say, ‘This person has full controlover everything that I think,’” she said.“I have an unbiased view.”

n Members lookto future while

remembering the past

BY TERRI HOGANSTAFFWRITER

Members of the OliveBranch Community Church re-cently celebrated its eighth an-niversarybybreaking groundona new sanctuary, with the hopeof establishing permanent rootsin the SandySpring community.

Thenewchurch is tobebuiltnext to the current rectory at 416Olney Sandy Spring Road, justwest of Sherwood High School.The groundbreaking on Sept.21 was part of a monthlong an-niversary celebration of lookingback,while also looking forward.

Among those participatingwere Montgomery County Ex-ecutive Isiah Leggett (D), Rep.John Sarbanes (D-Dist. 3) ofTowson and County Council-man George L. Levanthal (D-Atlarge) of Takoma Park.

Activities included an Un-derground Railroad guided hikethrough Sandy Spring, wheremembers and friends of themultigenerational congrega-tion traveled 2½ miles from theWoodlawnManor Cultural Parkandback, to experience the landonce traversed by people escap-ing slavery.

The Rev. Donald R. Kellyfounded Olive Branch Commu-nity Church after a vision fromGod to do so, he said.

After meeting with a smallgroup of people at his home,the inaugural Sunday morningworship service was held Oct.1, 2006, at Oseh Shalom Syna-gogue in Laurel.

Over the years, the OliveBranch congregation has metat Sherwood Elementary Schooland SherwoodHigh School, andnow at the Spencerville Acad-emy.

Two years to the day of itsfirst Sunday service, the church

purchased the Lansdale prop-erty in Sandy Spring.

Kelly said the historic home,built in 1870, is the rectory, andwill continue to be used for ad-ministrative and classroompur-poses.

“The house is a reminderof history. We would not daretouch it,” he said. “Mrs. Lans-dale has been involved and isbig part of what we are doing.”

The newworship center, ex-pected to be completed by nextfall, will feature a 250-seat sanc-tuary, classrooms and a choirloft.

“It will be a place to feel theworship experience,” Kelly said.“Much like the Sandy SpringMuseum, it will fit in the com-munity.”

Architect Miche Booz ofBrookeville, who designed thechurch, also designed the mu-seumandother local landmarks,

Kelly, who lives in Burtons-ville, said Sandy Spring wasselected as a location for thechurch because it is convenienttomany of the congregants wholive in Montgomery County.Others come fromAnneArundeland Prince George’s counties.

“Wewanted tohave aneigh-borhood environment and to bea part of the community,” hesaid.

The church has 127 mem-bers, with about 85 attendingworship services at 8:30 a.m.

Sundays. If attendance in-creases, Kelly said, the churchwould consider offering a sec-ond Sunday service.

“We are a church that caresabout the community and givesback, through our math camp,giving programs, a viable youthprogram, reaching out to thesick and shut-ins, Men’s Minis-try and Women’s Ministry,” hesaid.

Kelly said he expects thecongregation will continue togrow, as it becomes a more vis-ible, integral part of the com-munity.

“Growth is defined in manyways,” he said. “There is nu-merical growth and missional-minded work, which is beingable todoworkoutside thewallsof this church in partnershipswith local schools and otherhouses of worship.”

Kelly said the groundbreak-ing was a significant step in thecongregation’s journey.

“It shows the awesomenessand blessings of God,” he said.“For eight years, we have pre-pared to go into this buildingand are grateful to the commu-nity for welcoming us.”

Anderson said the Mary-land Department of Health andMentalHygiene and theCentersfor Disease Control and Preven-tion would make the call as towhether or not a student wouldbe tested for the virus.

“We have not needed toimplement this at all to date,”Glick said.

DanaTofig, a spokesman forthe county school system, saidin an email that some parentshave called the school systemto ask if there are procedures inplace.

“We are making sure theyknow what protocols are inplace should a student or staffmember present with symp-

toms that could indicate Ebola,but are, of course, similar toother, more common illnessesas well,” he said in the email.

Anderson emphasized thatEbola is “veryhard to catch” andthat people are farmore likely tocatch and experience complica-tions from the flu.

Susan Burkinshaw — whois health and safety committeeco-chairwoman of the Mont-gomery County Council of Par-ent Teacher Associations butshared her personal thoughts— said she’s more concernedabout pedestrian safety thanstudents contracting the virusand thinks the “real, live publichealth issue” deservingmore at-tention is pertussis, also knownas whooping cough.

“I thinkwe really havebiggerfish to fry than our kids catchingEbola,” she said.

Burkinshaw said schoolsand hospitals should be pre-pared for the virus in part to al-leviate anxiety felt in the county.

“I think they need to bethinking about it because thereis such hysteria,” she said.

Glick said the procedureswere developed “in an abun-dance of caution” and countyhealth officials do not predict acase will show up in the area.

“We’re doing this because,as a community, it’s importantthat we are prepared and thatwe have policies and guidelinesin place,” Anderson said.

Bonato suggested that toprevent mail fraud, residentsshould take their outgoing mailto the post office, pay bills on-line, shred their mail, checkbank statements regularly anduse credit-monitoring services.

As for credit card databreaches, Bonato mentionedthat many retailers and creditcard processing servers havebeen affected.

She said therewere about 50victimsassociatedwithanOlneybusiness, which she could notname due to an ongoing inves-tigation.

Bonato said the hackers areprobably Russian and they sell

the numbers online.“This is not just an Olney

problem,” said Fourth DistrictDeputy Cmdr. Marc Yamada.“You could take every last pre-caution toprotect your informa-tion, but if they want it, they’regoing to get it. In both the creditcard breaches and mail thefts,minimizing their opportuni-ties will make them want to gosomewhere else.”

Bonato said phone scamsalso continue, often from in-dividuals stating they have arelative in jail or a hospital, orsometimes claiming they arefrom the Internal Revenue Ser-vice.

“If you get a call from some-one you don’t know asking formoney, be very wary,” she said.“And never send money to any-one you do not know.”

BREACHESContinued from Page A-1

lis 36 years ago, fewer than 20women served in the GeneralAssembly.

“It was the old boys estab-lishment,” she said.

Now the legislature has 66women, including many whochair committees.

As a new delegate, shesought advice from then-Mont-gomery delegate LucilleMaurer,a fellowalumnaof theUniversityofNorthCarolina at ChapelHill,whomentoredForehand.

Other political friends andmentors included Rockvillecouncilwoman Phyllis Fordhamandcity councilman,mayorandcounty councilman William E.Hanna, a Rockville neighbor

whose daughters babysat Fore-hand’s children.

Former Gov. Harry Hugheswas “a real gentleman” whosewife entertained the female leg-islators at the governor’s man-sion, Forehand said.

Despite her sunny outlook,Forehand can be a “total bull-dog” when it comes to advanc-ingher legislation, Raskin said.

He said he’ll always identifyForehandwith the idea thatgov-ernmentmust be an instrumentfor fairness for children andwomen.

Ruben agreed that women’sissues would be one of Fore-hand’s legacies inAnnapolis.

“I think she’ll be missed bythe county in particular, andwomen,” Ruben said.

Forehand focused on do-mestic violence, access to day

care, family leave, child supportand reproductive freedom. Shealso fought for more womenserving in the judiciary.

“They’re all everyday thingsnow,” she said.

Her diverse legislative port-folio includes a bill requiring theMotorVehicleAdministration tobe open on Saturdays so peoplewouldn’thave to takeoff ofworkto renew their drivers licenses.

She was the first legislatorin the country to propose pro-hibiting genetic-based discrimi-nation in health insurance andthe workplace. Nowmost stateshave similar laws to Maryland’sshe said.

“That’s turned out to be apretty big thing,” she said.

Some of her efforts had per-sonal origins.

She’s been an advocate formore services to treat mentalillness, especially for children,borne from hermother’s battleswith depression and the under-standing of the toll dealing withsuch issues can take ona family.

She was one of the drivingforces behind Maryland’s lawsbanning smoking in public ar-eas, an effort that had its roots in

her father’s death from emphy-sema. He never smoked, but heworked around people who did,Forehand said.

In her first week in Annapo-lis, she went alone to her com-mittee room to see where herdeskwas and found ash trays onevery table anddesk.

Chuckling as she tells thestory, Forehand said she gath-ered them all up and hid themunder the radiator, where theyweren’t found until the buildingwas renovated 20 years later.

She then led the fight to re-move the tobacco vending ma-chines from the statehouse, andeventually her work “morphed”into the smokingban.

But those legislative suc-cesses wouldn’t have been pos-sible without the relationshipsForehand has fostered duringher time inoffice.

She makes a point to inviteother legislators into her officeand develop the personal rela-tionships that can blossom intolegislative success.

“That’s the key to it,” shesaid.

of about 60 goats to clear kudzufrom a park inHyattsville.

Mary Abe, director of stew-ardship for that group, said shethinks the project was a successon several levels.

Not only were the goats ef-fective in eating the kudzudownto a point where its roots couldbe easily removed, but the ani-mals also drew attention to theissue of invasive plants, Abesaid.

Peoplewalk by invasive spe-cies all the time anddon’t noticethem, she said.

But the goats attractedpeople, allowing workers to talkabout the threat that invasivespecies pose, she said.

“All of a sudden, it got peo-ple’s attention,” Abe said.

The group also was able tobring students from a nearby el-ementary school to see the goatsand talk about invasive plants.

“Who doesn’t love a goat?”Abe asked.

n Immigrant organizes fashion showto raise funds for programs

BY KEVIN JAMES SHAYSTAFFWRITER

After moving to Florida with her familyfrom Ecuador in the late 1990s, Marta Bo-horquezwas living theAmericandreamwithanice house and stable environment.

Then her husband died of cancer. Shetried to remain in the house with her youngkids, but the payments became too much.She soon found herself moving between

friends’ basements,which continued for awhile after she movedher family toMaryland.

Today, Bohorquezlives in a homewith herchildren in German-town that was acquiredthrough the countyModerately PricedDwellingUnit program.

Churchmembers, friendsandworking threejobshelpedlifther fromthedespairofhome-lessness, she said.

“We have a good life now,” Bohorquezsaid. “But homelessness is something thatcanhappen to anyone.”

Bohorquez got the idea to organize afashion show to raise awareness and fundsfor thehomeless after seeinganonline videoof a homeless veteran receiving amakeover.The result is the From Homeless 2 Hopefulfashion show, a fundraiser for the Rockville-basedMontgomeryCountyCoalition for theHomeless slated for4 to6p.m.Sundayat theSilver SpringCivicCenter.

Montgomery County Council Presi-dent Craig L. Rice (D-Dist. 2) of German-town and County Cable Montgomery hostJulie Rios Little are scheduled to be theMCs. Councilmembers Nancy Navarro(D-Dist. 4) of Silver Spring and George L.Leventhal (D-At Large) of TakomaParkwillbe among the speakers.

GroupssuchasPeopletoPeopleInterna-tional, the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce

of Montgomery County and Samaritan-s4Homeless,whichBohorquezhelped form,also are involved. Hjarman Cordero, the se-niorneighborhoodresourcescoordinator forthe city of Rockville, is a host partner.

The fashion show will feature about 20models, some of whom have experiencedhomelessness themselves, while othersare supporters and advocates. Hair stylists,makeupartists andothers aredonating timeto theproject.

Besides supporting the coalition, Bo-horquez said, she hopes broader partner-ships are developed that can go beyondmakeovers to provide job search assistance,affordable housing, substance abuse coun-seling andother services.

“This started as my idea, but a lot ofpeople are helping,” said Bohorquez, a jobdeveloper for people with disabilities withtheJewishSocialServiceAgency inRockville.She haswon the F.Michael Taff Award fromthe city of Rockville for her work to improvethe lives of disabledpeople.

Bohorquez knew about the homelesscoalition throughher church,CovenantLife,which regularly donates meals to the non-profit’s men’s emergency shelter. The coali-tion also runs complexes like Cordell Place,a Bethesda facility providing permanenthousingwith personal living space, a sharedkitchen and community room.

“We saw the energy and creativity thatwould be brought by Samaritans4Home-less to help a diverse audience gain a deeperawareness of the issue of homelessness inMontgomery County,” said Susanne Sin-clair-Smith, executive director of the coali-tion. “We are excited to expand our networkof community partners.”

Getting an exact count of the homeless

population can be challenging. A one-daycount last January reported by the Metro-politanWashingtonCouncilofGovernmentsfound an 11 percent decline in Montgom-ery County from the previous year, to 891homeless people. Last year, the Montgom-ery coalition served about 1,600 homelessand formerly homeless men, women andchildren through various programs and anaffiliate agency.

PrinceGeorge’sCounty’shomelesspop-ulation declined 5 percent, to 654 people,while Washington, D.C., saw a 13 percentincrease, to 7,748 people, according to theMWCOGreport.

A decline in affordable housing contrib-utedtotheDistrict’s increase, thereportsaid.

Nationally, the number of homelesspeople decreased by almost 4 percent in2013, to610,042,accordingtotheD.C.-basedNational Alliance to End Homelessness.Maryland was among 31 states reporting adecline.

Finding beauty withinIn her native Ecuador, Bohorquez stud-

ied psychology and did more traditionalfashion shows. “Now, I can find beauty inunusual places,” she said. “Beauty can befound in anyone with a beautiful heart andsmile.”

Shedoesn’t like tocallpeople livingwith-out a home “homeless,” saying it is often atemporary situation that should not definethem. “I say they are people who are tem-porarily experiencing homelessness,” Bo-horquez said. “They need to rediscover thatbeautywithin them.”

Besides supportingprograms tohelp thehomeless get jobs and housing, Bohorquezsaid, itwill take “everyone in the communityto see people who are experiencing home-lessness in adifferent light.”

“It’s important to empower people, toreach out and believe in the power of peo-ple,” she said.

OUROPINION

Montgomery County Council membersHans Riemer andGeorge Leventhal haveintroduced legislation that would forbid res-taurants fromusing cups and food contain-ers created fromplastic foam— the latesttarget for activists whowant to legislate awayour wasteful society. Eateries would have toswitch to containers that could be recycled orcomposted.

Manymight see the legislation as a posi-tive step. Eliminating productsmade fromplastic foam, sometimes called polystyreneor Styrofoam, is a laudable goal because thematerial won’t degrade in landfills. Othercommunities— such as New York City,Min-neapolis and Portland,Maine—have enactedbans. Takoma Park is considering imposing itsown prohibition.

There are two kinds of No. 6 plastic, as itis called,expandedpolystyreneand rigidpolystyrene.The countydisposes of6,771 tonsof expandedpolystyrene,according to

figures from the county’s Department of En-vironmental Protection. DEP says the countythrows away 5,865 tons of rigid polystyrene.

In justifying the bill, Riemer (D-At large) ofTakoma Park notes in amemo to colleaguesthat polystyrene is a “meaningful share of thelitter and pollution found in our watersheds.”

According to the county’s Department ofEconomic Development, restaurant profitswould decline $16.2million because of theban. In a separate report, county budgetdirector Jennifer Hughes notes that the banwould costMeals onWheels $225,000, but cu-riously, Montgomery College would have nosignificant impact.

We checkedwith leaders of local chambersof commerce who said they weren’t planningon taking a position on the bill.

In addition to the legislation’s financial ef-fect, we think the council members are beingshort-sighted.

For one thing, the legislation prohibitsthe sale of plastic foampeanuts. In essence,Montgomery residents will help other juris-dictions because they won’t be able to usepeanuts as they ship parcels out of the county.But nothing would stop a county residentfrom receiving a package with foampeanuts,as Riemer noted in his interviewwith StaffWriter Kate S. Alexander.

The legislation also remains silent on recy-cling polystyrene. In fact, Leventhal declaredthat a recycling effort would be “absolutelycost prohibitive.”Maybe not. Howard Countyhas a robust polystyrene recycling effort thatcosts the county $1 a year.

For that dollar, the Dart Container Corp.leaves a trailer at Howard’s Alpha Ridge Land-fill inMarriottsville, andwhen it’s full fromwhat residents drop off, the company haulsthe trailer away.

Dart, whichmanufactures polystyrenefood packaging, takes thematerial to its Lan-caster, Pa., plant. The polystyrene becomespellets, which can bemade into other polysty-rene products.

Howard, which has about a third ofMont-gomery’s population, has been collectingpolystyrene since June 2012. In that time, thecounty has collected 48.67 tons, according tofigures Howard County provided.

TheMontgomery County Council shouldtake notice of theHoward data. A recyclingeffort would capture not only food containers,but also the large chunks of polystyrene usedin shipping, divertingmuchmore polystyreneout of the county’s waste stream.

Besides, themeasure also could includeprovisions in which the council flexes its fi-nancial muscles to encourage forward-think-ing startups to start plastic foam recyclingprojects inMontgomery County. Not onlywould that help the environment, it couldstimulate the green economy.

Larry Hogan, the Republicangubernatorial candidate, has com-mitted the unpardonable sin —he’s closed within striking distanceof winning Maryland’s governor’srace. For this he must be punished,no, hemust be destroyed.

If you think the Democrats andtheir press corps allies have resortedto distortions, falsehoods, biased

r e p o r t i n gand selectivefact-check-ing to date,just waituntil yousee whathappens be-tween nowand ElectionDay. By thetime they’vef i n i s h e dwith LarryHogan, his

ownmother won’t recognize him.So far, Democratic candidate

Anthony Brown’s anti-Hogan adshave been breathtakingly unfairanduntrue. For instance,Hoganop-posesMaryland’s abortion law, evenfor rape and incest. The source? A1980Hogan statementwhenhewas28 years old andwhich he revised in1992.

And Hogan is responsible forthe 40 percent college tuition hikesthat occurred during the Bob Eh-rlich administration. Source? Well,says Brown, Hogan was Ehrlich’spatronage chief and some of Eh-rlich’s university appointmentsvoted for the tuition hikes. Likewise,Brown holds Hogan responsible forEhrlich’s “Dream Act” veto. Why?“Larry Hogan was part of that lead-ership team that vetoed the DreamAct. No governor makes a decisionin isolation,” says Brown.Wow, col-lective culpability!

And Brown’s smear-Hogancampaign is getting plenty of helpfrom the “objective” press corps.Baltimore Sun reporters pouredover 52 state audits until theyfound a Hogan mistake that they,and Brown, could twist into anattack ad. Hogan cited as “wasteand fraud” $450 million of schoolconstruction projects that were notfully supervised. From this the Sunand Brown extrapolated that Ho-gan intends slashing school con-struction funds.

What followedwas theusual un-scrupulous patty cake between themedia and the Dems. The mediainvents a controversy creating newsstory No. 1. Then the Dems use itto attack Hogan, news story No. 2.Then Hogan denies it, news storyNo. 3. Then come the editorials andcolumns until the smear is firmlyimprinted on the voter’s conscious-ness.

The same thing with gun con-trol. Washington Post reportersfound some gun advocates who

claim Hogan said he’d make get-ting a state police-approved carrypermit easier.Working together, themedia and the Dems morphed thisinto Hogan plotting to repeal guncontrol.

It doesn’t matter that Hoganswears he won’t repeal Maryland’sabortion and gun laws or that hewon’t reduce school construction.Nor does it matter that the me-dia and Brown fully understandthat, even if Hogan wanted to, hecouldn’t get suchmeasures throughthe Dem-controlled legislature andBoard of PublicWorks.

The purpose of the smears isto scare voters away from Hogan’smessage: too many taxes and astate heading in the wrong direc-tion.

Will it work? Well, it worked likea charm in1998. Amonthbefore theelection, Republican Ellen Sauer-brey trailed Gov. Parris Glendeningby only 2 points. Political consul-tants observed that if the governordidn’t air ads that people talkedabout soon, hemight not win a sec-ond term.

Glendening’s problem was theblack vote, which he won by 95 per-cent in 1994butwasdown to74per-cent in 1998 because the state’s toptwo local African American leaders,

BaltimoreMayorKurt Schmoke andPG County executive Wayne Curry,were not supporting him.

So Glendening fired his long-time media adviser and, at the urg-ing of Lt. Gov. Kathleen KennedyTownsend and U.S. Sen. BarbaraMikulski, hired Bob Shrum, a noto-rious PR hitman.

Together, Shrum and Glenden-ing took three obscure votes Sauer-brey cast in the House of Delegatesand distorted them into TV adsfalsely claiming she would “turnback the clock” on civil rights.

The ads were lies: the bills inquestion included measures killedby Dems, including blacks, becausethey went too far. None were majorcivil rights bills and one dealt withgender, not race. But they madegreat ads for scaring blacks intovoting for Glendening. Sort of Wil-lie Horton in reverse. “They put heron the defensive on an issue thatgave her a David Duke-type smell,”chortled one pundit. As soon as thescary ads hit, Saurbray’s numbersbegan to fall.

A few courageous black Demsspoke out. “I will not participate in acampaign to try to persuade peoplethat she (Sauerbrey) is a racist,” saidMayorSchmoke.DelegateTonyFul-ton, ablackDem,added, “I’mdisap-

pointed, disgusted anddismayedbythe methods used in this campaign— it’s race baiting.”

But the race-baiting worked, adead heat became a 12-point Glen-dening victory thanks, largely, tothe unusual black voter turnout thatswelled from 12 percent in 1994 to21 percent in 1998.

In Baltimore City, Glendening’scampaign manager, Julius Henson,recalls, “When I saidEllenSauerbreywas against civil rights, black peoplewere lining up at 10 a.m., they werewrapped around the corner. Blackpeople vote in the evening, andwhen they were wrapped aroundthe corner at 10 a.m., we knew itwas over.”

Now, 16 years later, AnthonyBrown, likeGlendening, desperatelyneeds a big African-American turn-out towina tight race.Will theDemsresort to the same race-baiting thatworked in 1998? Count on it.

MY MARYLANDBLAIR LEE

LET TERS TOTHEEDITOR

The recent Gazette article ona report from the MontgomeryCounty Council’s Office of Legis-lative Oversight left me stunned[“Montgomery County report finds‘mismatch’ in school staff, studentdemographics”, Oct. 8].

The suggestions in that reportand the comments of Council Presi-dent Craig Rice, as well as an as-sistant principal and a first-gradeteacher at Highland Elementary,take our society back 50 years.

In this country we have workedhard to overcome the disastrous sit-uationof judging, hiring andvaluing

people based on their color, ethnic-ity or any quality other than theirqualification for the job.

Rice’s comments that thedemo-graphics don’t have to be an exactmatch between staff and studentsbut “it does have to be a lot closer”also takes a new view of the wayour society should hire people. Hisremark implies we don’t need toworry about qualification, we needto match color and ethnicity so stu-dents can “identify with” staff.

The assistant principal reflectsthe same notion. She says teacherssuchasherselfwhocome fromsimi-

lar backgrounds as the student havemoreunderstandingofwhat the stu-dent and family may be facing. Thisis a bonuswhen hiring a teacher nota solid reason for that hiring.

I was glad to read that Super-intendent Joshua Starr took excep-tion to the report saying that theimplication that one race cannotadequately meet the instructionalneeds of another race is worrisome.He noted that “highly qualified,culturally sensitive teachers in con-junction with ... high standards ... iswhat leads to achievement gains.”

The worrisome thing for me is

that some school administratorsand County Council members arethinking in an old-fashioned, nar-row way and advocating actionsthat frankly would seem to violatetoday’s civil rights guarantees.

If you want students to see suc-cessful people of their race or eth-nicity then have guests come to theclassroom, shownewsclips that fea-ture Hispanics, African Americansand Asians. Don’t advocate hiringpractices that discriminate basedon race.

Mary Ann Schilling, Bethesda

The ‘mismatch’ is in how officials think

It iswith shocked surprise that I realizedwhiledriving along Hines Road recently that the site ofthe recent car crash of teenagers on westboundHines Road atMacduff Avenuewas built in awaythat facilitated the crash [“Fatal car crash shattersOlney,” Sept. 2, 2014].

Hines Road curves to the left enough that ifone is going somewhat over the speed limit, or ifthe road is slippery due to a ice or a light rain, onecould easily start skidding.

The road, unfortunately, is banked in what

may be considered the “wrong direction”; ifbanked in the “correct direction,” the road sur-face would have been slanted so that the rightside of the car is higher than the left side, so that ifone skids, gravitywill tend to counteract the skid.

HinesRoadat that left curve is banked so thatthe left side of the car is higher than the right,and gravity pulls the car to the “right” (actuallystraight ahead) and increases the speed of a skid-ding car. Finally, there is a tree directly in frontof the curve, so that if a car skids, it goes directly

into the tree that the teenagers’ car crashed into.The curve itselfwasnot theproblem; it seems

to me that the lack of signage for the curve, thewrong-way banking of the road and there beingno guard rail in front of the tree all contributedto that accident. Yes, speeding may have been atfault, but, in my opinion, the road was built al-most inviting a fatal accident eventually, whichmake this very sad tragedy evenmore sad.

LET TERS TOTHEEDITOR

Is the fracking gold rush that hastaken Pennsylvania, Ohio and parts ofWest Virginia by storm about to cometoMaryland? Let’s hope not. A smallbut growing body of scientific researchindicates that hydraulic fracturingwould be harmful to the health of theresidents ofMaryland, and thatmanyof the potential health impactsmay besevere and irreversible.Fracking is an industrial-scale pro-

cess that involves injectingmillions ofgallons of watermixedwith sand andtoxic chemicals deep underground tobreak up shale rock and to force outgas or oil. About one-third of the toxicfluids injected into the ground rush

back to the surface, carrying with itradioactivematerials that have beentrapped underground formillions ofyears. How to safely dispose of thesefluids is one ofmany of fracking’s un-answered questions.Some of the bi-products of fracking

are high levels of air pollution, toxicdust particles that remain airborne,and contaminatedwater supplies.Health issues affecting those livingnear fracking wells include elevatedlevels of birth defects and low birthweight babies, increased cancer risks,neurological and respiratory impair-ment, and skin, eyes and noise irrita-tion.

Since this type of fracking is a newprocess, andmany types of cancersand neurologic disorders developslowly, it may take years to fully recog-nize the public health impacts of thistechnology.Yet, the O’Malley Administration

appears ready to green light frack-ing in the state. In November, theadministration plans to release bestmanagement practices for frackinginMaryland. This comes on top of arecently released of a draft risk assess-ment by theMarylandDepartment ofthe Environment that downplays therisks to human health that were identi-fied in an independent health study

commissioned by the Department ofHealth andMental Hygiene.That health study found a high or

moderately high likelihood of negativepublic health impacts from fracking onlocal air quality, the health care infra-structure, worker health, communitycohesion, water issues, noise and cu-mulative effects.This should concern the residents

ofMontgomery County. Undergroundgas reserves exist not only in Garrettand Allegany counties, but inMont-gomery and Frederick counties, and inmany locations on the Eastern Shore.Once the gas industry sinks its first drillinWesternMaryland, the industry will

begin to set its sights on other parts ofthe state.Now is not the time to openMary-

land up to fracking. The state’s naturalgas reserves have been present formil-lions of years. They won’t disappearanytime soon. Gov. O’Malley and hissuccessor should wait for further de-velopment in the science beforemak-ing decisions that could put our healthand economic well being in jeopardy.

As co-founder of a grassrootsparent and student advocacy grouppromoting better food in the Mont-gomery County Public Schools(MCPS), I read with interest DonnaSt. George’s story “New effort drawsstudents to breakfast” [Sept. 25].Many of the kids showing up to

school unfed come from low-incomefamilies. Given the close associationbetween hunger and over-weight/obesity, we urge MCPS to focus itsbreakfast program on nutrient-rich

foods and limit empty calories. In arecent survey, parents in MCPS ex-pressed concern with the quality ofthese breakfasts, specifically, withthe high levels of added sugar.In its position paper on sweeten-

ers, theAcademyofNutritionandDi-etetics states, “Added sugars … havebeen linked to health concerns, in-cluding overweight and obesity, type2 diabetes or prediabetes, inflamma-tion, and cardiovascular disease.”While publicly stating it serves

none, MCPS serves as many as 40itemswith added sugar.While the USDA regulates sugar

in individual items in school food,it does not regulate total sugar permeal. And, unfortunately, neitherdoesMCPS.A typical breakfast in the class-

roomcancontain chocolatemilk (2.5teaspoons added sugar), a cinnamonroll (3 teaspoons added sugar), anda package of Craisins (5 teaspoonsadded sugar).

This is a whopping 10.5 tsps ofadded sugar in thismeal alone,morethan three times the AmericanHeartAssociation’s daily recommendationfor children ages 4-8.By reducing sugar levels, MCPS

could make a positive impact on thehealth of its 154,000 students — 17%ofMaryland’s school children.

Changing to open primaries is by farthe worse thing for Rockville, MontgomeryCounty and the state ofMaryland.Open primaries have proven themselves

again and again to be the easiest avenue forthe majority party to permanently cementtheir hold on elected offices, from local tostate.With so few voters participating in mid-

term elections and primaries as it is, it takessucha small numberof voters toblockanup-and-coming challenger from considerationby stacking the deck.Political wonks and advisers want vot-

ers to believe this is an easy way to increaseparticipation in elections, simply because itmakes their job’s somuch easier.Republicans inMontgomeryCounty that

choose not to take to time to go to the pollingstation on election day are abdicating theirmost fundamental right as an American.Even if they think the winner is going to

be a Democrat, they are missing the point.I wonder if many of them know they don’thave to vote for any of the candidates run-ning for a specific office?That still leaves referrendums, etc. that

maymakeadifference in their everyday lives.Many elections and referendums are

quite often decided by a few hundred votes.Their votesmay decide the outcome.Allowing open primaries reduces choice

in Rockville, Montgomery County and thestate ofMaryland.

Duringmyhigh schoolfootball tenure,I experiencedsome turmoil.The events ofSept. 11 andtheD.C. Sniperwere eye-open-ers that causeda handful of ourgames to be re-scheduled. Onthe football field, there were your typi-cal injury situations and such.

But what the Poolesville HighSchool football teamhas had to en-dure this fall is unimaginable. Very fewthings, if any, can compare in sportsor life. Earlier thismonth, teammateJacob Jesuitas committed suicide,caused by gunshot, according toMontgomery County Police.

“As coaches and players we alwaystalk about in the preseason howweare going to respond and handle ad-versity,” Poolesville coachWill Gantsaid. “In high school football, adversityis a kid broke his ankle andmisses amonth, a kid tears his knee and is outfor the season or grades. A death to oneof your players and teammate is some-thing you don’t ever plan for or thinkof. It’s just not supposed to be.”

Yet somehow, the Falcons (5-2)have pressed on and are in the thick ofthe Class 2AWest Region playoff race,with Jesuitas, who joined the programin early September, constantly on theirmind.

“One of our coaches told us we’renot playing for him, we’re playing withhim,” wide receiver Sean Parker said.“That, I think, really hits home. Heloved [football] somuch.”

Following an emotional 24 hourperiod— fromwhen the Poolesvillecommunity learned of the tragedyto the end of a 30-13 loss to CatoctinOct. 2— the Falcons have won twoconsecutive close games topositionthemselves atop the 2AWest Regionstandingswith threewinnable gamesremaining. Several of the Falconshaveworn red, Jesuitas’ favorite color, andinscribedhisNo. 80 and initials, JJ, ontheir uniform tape.

“Weunderstoodwehad to still playfootball,” senior lineman JonBatekysaid. “Catoctinwasn’t going towait.Itwas a fun thing to get ourminds offeverything for a bit, but I think itwas alearning experience for us.…Football isreally just a game, there somuchmoreto life.”

Muchof thePoolesville communityis still reeling from Jesuitas’ death, but Ithink—nothing can replace the loss ofa human life— the football team canhelp a community heal.

“Jacob has a big impact on us ev-ery day,” Parker said. “Everybody isdefinitely closer on the team.We’re ateam, we are a family andwe are a partof the community.We’re all brothershere for everybody.”

It can also bring teenagers andadults closer together.

“There is no formula on how torecover or a script on how to react,”Gant said. “We’ve encouraged the kidsto talk to each other and reminded ev-eryone that we are here for each other.And the kids have rallied us as coaches.Most of the time as a coach, I have hadthe answer. But I had kids textingme,‘Are youOK?’ You are a 16-year old kidand I’m supposed to take care of you.”

Added senior quarterback StevenMorningstar: “Wewere just shockedand didn’t want to believe it at first.We’re still trying to get through it to-gether.”

postseason

BYADAMGUTEKUNST

STAFFWRITER

Sherwood High School juniorLea Owens is the two-time defendingcounty champion at the No. 2 singlesposition, but she won’t have the op-portunity to defend her crown whenthe tournament starts later this week.That’s because Owens, in her first sea-son as aNo. 1 singles player, enters thecounty tournament as the only unde-featedplayer at theposition.

Owens has recorded her perfectseason with ease, having never facedthe threat of a tiebreak or a third set.But it wasn’t until Sept. 15, when thedefending county team champion,Thomas S. Wootton, visited Sherwoodthat people likely started to realize theWarriors’ juniorwas for real.

“I looked at our schedule and I’mlookingdownat Sept. 15 and I thought,‘Miranda [Deng] is coming to Sher-wood,”coachTomMaleysaid,referringto Wootton’s defending state singleschampion. “I thought [Lea] was goingto surprise Miranda and Miranda wasgoing to have to work her tail off, but Iwasunsure ifwewouldget that court.”

But as the afternoon progressedand Maley made his way back to theOwens-Deng match, he said he was

takenabackbutwhathe saw.“I camebackaroundand Iwas like.

‘What, 4-4first set?Way to go, Lea.’”Then, with the match tied at 5,

Owens made her move, breaking andholding in quick games to take the setand the momentum. The junior wentontomakequickworkofheropponentin the second set to seal a 7-5, 6-3 vic-tory,awinthat lefteventhevictora littlesurprised.

“Iwaskindof surprisedwhenIbeatMiranda,” Owens said. “I knew I couldbeat her if I playedmy best. I just reallywanted to win that match because itwas important tome.”

ThoughMaley admits he toowas abit surprised by Owens’ triumph overthe defending state champion, Owens’steady climb to the top has been any-thingbut a shock.

“Every year when she arrives inAugust, her game is significantly im-proved,” Maley said. “This year I wastalking to my [assistant] coach and Iwassaying, ‘LookatLea.Shehitsbigger,she’s faster around the court. Her servewasaliabilitybeforeandnowshe’swin-ninga fewpoints on thefirst serve.’”

For Maley, it’s the work ethic thatseparates Owens — ranked 37 in theUSTA Girls’ 16-and-under divisionfor the Mid-Atlantic region. If the ju-nior recognizes a weakness in hergame, she’ll work tirelessly tomake it astrength, he said.

n Patriots’ field hockey captainone of top scorers in state

BY ERIC GOLDWEINSTAFF WRITER

Julia Lee has been playing field hockey sinceeighth grade, though never before like this. TheThomas S. Wootton High School senior has scoredin nearly every game of what has been her best

season yet, tallying a team-high 25 goals and be-coming one of Maryland’s top scorers.

“This is themost comfortable I’ve ever seen Ju-lia,” said coach Kearney Blandamer. “She’s com-fortable in all the roles ... and she’s had a lot ofroles this year.”

And that she has; not just in 2014, but in herfour years playing the sport. Lee, 16, of Potomac,was a defender on her first club team, the Jackals.With the Rockville school, she gradually movedup both on the field and within the program. Lee,

called up to varsity at the end of her freshman sea-son, slid from midfield, then to right forward, andto left forward this fall. While before she was pri-marily a distributor— dishing the ball to first teamAll-Gazette selection Allie Band (Class of 2014) —now she is in the “cleanup” role, Blandamer said.

“In 19 years of coaching field hockey, she’s themost prolific [scorer] I’ve ever coached,” Blan-damer said.

FIELD HOCKEY NOTEBOOK

B Y E R I C G O L D W E I N

sophomore directed a stellar of-fensive performance en route toa 25-20, 25-12, 25-11 sweep inDamascus.

Sherwood’s arsenal of hitterspicked apart the usually-stoutDamascus defensewith a relent-less rotation at the net. But nomatter who it was driving theball onto theHornets’ side of thecourt, Wilson seemingly alwayshad the ball tailored to a team-mate’s liking.

“Oh my gosh it’s such ablessing,” Sherwood coach BenSanger said of his setter’s ability.“Coachesdreamofhavingsome-one that’s so youngbeing able toset and know [the preference]of hitters — who likes the ballwhere,are they fastat thenet, arethey slow.”

Wednesday night, Wilsonseemed to hit every name in that“mental rolodex,” as Sanger likesto call it. Julia Gajewski-Nemes,Dalton Sanchez and Kaiya Hey-

liger-Powell, the Warriors’ threepowerful outside hitters, all re-corded at least eight kills. KerraTirado, a seniormiddle, chippedinwithfivemore.

“In practice we work really,really hard to get these connec-tions so that on the court they’reeffortless and we don’t have toreally think about it that much,”Wilson said, who added threekills of her own to go along with39 assists on the night. “I knowwhoever I go to, they’re going toscore theball.”

Wilson, who was on the var-sity roster last season but sawlimited time, said she workedfeverishly over the offseason toearn the starting setter spot, aposition previously held by thenow-senior libero, Ariella Rodri-guez. Through the tireless hoursof repetition and conditioningwiththeteam,Wilsonwasabletolearn the ins and outs of her hit-ters— an attention to detail thatis paying off for the undefeatedWarriors.

“In practice [she’s] gettingall those reps and is able to know

where we all are at once,” San-chez said. “It’s crazy.”

“She’s really stepped up,”Tirado said of the sophomore.“She’stheonlysix-rotationplayerandshe’shandling it reallywell.”

The Wilson-facilitated of-fense gave the Hornets fitsWednesday,astheheavily-struckballs consistently hampered theback line’s passing abilities andthrew a usually potent offenseout of sync. After a competitivefirstset,Damascus’offensivetan-dem of sophomore Isabel Nel-ligan and junior Suzanne Bradywereheld to a combined six kills.Brady, who often makes a liv-ing at the net, was met with twoblockersmost of the night, effec-tively neutralizing the Hornets’most reliable sourceofoffense.

“We knew that was who weneeded to key on,” Sanger saidof Brady. “Their offense revolvesaround her. So we tried to neu-tralize her; it’s very hard to takeawayaplayer like that. She’s verytalented. Maybe get a block hereand there and get her guessingthatmaybe [she] can’t throw the

balldown,thenthat’sallweneed,just a little bit of doubt in theirmindandthenwecanaccelerateoff of that.”

For Damascus, which suf-fered its second straight loss inthe midst of a tough schedulingstretchtoendtheseason, thesizeand the power of Sherwood sim-ply was too much, and the Hor-nets seemed thrown off by theSherwood blockers. On defense,Damascus lookeddisoriented bySherwood’s seemingly endlessrotation of hitters, somethingcoach Becky Ronquillo said shethought was unnerving for hergirls.

“First setweactually steppedup and were playing well, butthen I think my girls started get-ting intimidated a little by theirhitters,” Ronquillo said. “Theyhave big hitters. They have goodhitters. You have to give respectto that.”

Lee’s goals have come inbunches; she has five hat trickson the season, including threein the last five games.

“She has a lot of finesse,”said teammate Marisa Mora-kis. “Her shots are very exactand she’s really good at [mov-ing] with the ball and changingdirections.”

The 5-foot-5 attackeris particularly effective oncrosses, Morakis said.

“She sort of just picks itup with her stick, drags it,and pushes it to the top rightcorner,” Morakis said. “… It’sa hard shot to do but she’s al-ways able to do it.”

At this point, scoring hasbecome second nature, Leesaid.

“I realize I can’t thinkabout what I’m doing,” saidLee, whose older sister Isa-bella Mia Lee (Class of 2012)was an All-Gazette honorablemention midfielder. “The onlything I think about is gettingpast the girl and into the goal.”

Lee, a three-sport athlete,has played MSI classic soccer(coached by her father, JamesLee) since kindergarten andalso runs outdoor track andfield at Wootton. Training in

multiple sports helped hersucceed in field hockey, evenwhile consistently being oneof the youngest players on thefield. Lee, who turns 17 in No-vember, is a full year youngerthan some of her classmates.

“Is she going to feel in-timidated? [That would bethe] natural reaction,” JamesLee said. “But the pro is thatshe’s taken that and overcomeit. She doesn’t let that be anexcuse. I think she’s a harderworker because of it.”

Lee is enjoying the scoringrole, but said she is more con-cerned about the team’s offen-sive production than her own.That’s backed up by her statis-tics; Lee’s 16 assists rank sec-ond on Wootton (junior LaceyRubin has 18) and fourth inthe greater Washington, D.C.,metropolitan area. Her offen-sive production has helpedthe Class 4A state runner-upPatriots go 11-2 this fall andsecure a top seed in the SouthRegion (Section II) of the tour-nament. Wootton is scheduledto open the postseason Thurs-day, hosting John F. Kennedyof Silver Spring.

“We’re really connectingthis year ... I think we’ve reallycome a long way. Our chemis-try is really good,” Lee said.

weekends; I’ve even noticed adifference in-season,” Maleysaid. “She’s worked on thevolley. She worked on the ap-proach shotwhere she can setthe volley up. Sheworks on allphasesof the game.”

And as the postseason isnow upon us, Owens will cer-tainly need all phases of thatgame if she meets up withDeng in what seems to be aninevitable showdown of thecounty’s best.

After her improbable runto the state singles title as afreshman last season, Denghas gold in her sights again,something coach Nia Cre-sham said is made possibleby the sophomore’s knack forconsistency.

“There’s a lot of goodthings about her tennis game,but tomeshe’sconsistentandshe’s consistently good,” Cre-sham said. “There are a lot ofpeople you play that have aB-level; they’ll have an A-levelbut play at a B-level and justpush for awhile,whichcanbevery effective. ... She doesn’treally do that. She’s prettymuch consistently at the A-level all the time and that’swhat I think setsher apart.”

BothMaley and Creshamagreed that nobody would besurprised to see Owens andDeng square off at least onemore time this postseason.And as for the outcome ofthose potential matches, well,it’s really a tossup.

“If Lea and Mirandaplayed10times, theyeachwinfive,” Maley said. “That’s howevenlymatched it is.”

“They’ve separated them-selves,” Cresham said. “Be-tween the two of them, I’d behard pressed to find a differ-ence. Style-wise they’re dif-ferent, slightly. But skills level,they’reboth rightup there.”

As for the team competi-tion, Cresham’s Patriots werethe only team in the top divi-sion to go undefeated and areback to defend last season’scounty crown — somethingmade possible by the team’sexceptional depth.

“We’re really deep,” Cre-sham said. “I have really goodplayers up in singles and Ihave really good players indoubles and that’s what setsa team apart. To be able to goundefeated [you need] depth.The girls are just very tight asa team. Nobody wants to letanyoneelsedown.”

of Friday’sQuinceOrchard-Sher-woodhigh school football game,Cougars’ star defensive linemanAdamMcLean,who is committed toplay at PennState, injuredhis rightkneeanddidn’t get up forquitesome time.

At the time, it appeared that theinjurywasnot serious andMcLeanwasheldout forprecautionaryreasons.

But, onTuesday, after further ex-aminationofhis knee,McLean toldTheGazette in a textmessage thathe is out for the rest of the season.

QuinceOrchard is scheduled tohostGaithersburg 6:30p.m.Friday

The lookwas inspiredby coachGregKellner,who saidhewantedtopay tribute to theUnitedStatesmilitary.

On thebackof each jersey, theplayersworeoneof the14differentcharacter traits of theMarineCorps(justice, judgment, dependability,initiative, decisiveness, tact, integ-rity, enthusiasm,bearing, unselfish-ness, courage, knowledge, loyalty

andendurance).“Theybasically hadhomework

Their final twogamesare verywinnable contests againstAlbertEinstein and JamesH.Blake, but

onFriday, they’ll faceundefeatedDamascus (7-0),which leads the3AWest.

Itwas a close 16-14 loss toDa-mascus last season that kept Senecaoutof theplayoffswith a7-3 record.

“[Last year]wehad someop-portunities [againstDamascus] andblew it,”Kimsaid. “We’vedroppedtwo toDamascus, twoyears in arow, andnormallywe split it everyother year. Seems likewhoever’s athomewins. But they’vebeatus thelast three years sowe’re certainlyvery awareof that and just providesuswith some incentive. ...Wewanttowin theball game.”

Kimsaid this game ishuge, be-causewith two losses, Seneca canmiss theplayoffs.

“It’smonstrous,”Kimsaid. “It’sa 3AWest. It’s extremelydifficult.Very challenging. You’ve got SouthHagerstownundefeated [7-0]. Lin-ganoreundefeated [7-0].Damascusundefeated.Urbana’s 6-1.We’re6-1.

Soccer championshipsmoved to Loyola

The University of Maryland,Baltimore County, has hostedhigh school soccer state cham-pionships for the last 15 years,but due to a structurally com-promised press box, the gamesare moving to Loyola Universitythis fall.

The Maryland Public Sec-ondary Schools Athletic As-sociation decided to relocateseveral weeks ago after learningover the summer that UMBC’spress box was unusable, ac-cording to MPSSAA ExecutiveDirector Ned Sparks. The movewas announced Friday on theMPSSAA website.

Steve Levy, director ofathletic communications atUMBC, said on Tuesday thatthe press box’s structural integ-rity was compromised, makingit unsafe and uninhabitable. Asolution was not yet in place,he said.

Levy had declined to com-ment on the specific issue withthe press box on Monday.

Maryland’s lacrosse cham-pionships are hosted by UMBC,and Sparks said the gamescould remain there in 2015 ifthe issue is resolved. The soc-cer championships could alsoreturn to UMBC, he said.

“We had a good relation-ship. We enjoyed it. It was al-ways good,” Sparks said.

Sparks said that theMPSSAA paid in the low$30,000s each year in rental feesand vendors — supplied by theMPSSAA — to host the soccerchampionships at UMBC. Thetotal costs at Loyola — whichincludes rent, security, ticketsellers, and other personnel —will be similar, Sparks said.

The state finals are sched-uled for Nov. 13-15 at Loyola’sRidley Athletic Complex in Bal-timore.

The MPSSAA recentlyended its 20-year run of basket-ball championships at UMBC,moving the 2014 games toTowson University’s SECUArena.

KEEPING IT BRIEF

n Northwest male, B-CC femaletake top individual honors

BY KYLE RUSSELLSPECIAL TO THE GAZETTE

A typical high school cross countrycourse measures out to five kilometersin length. In Saturday’s MontgomeryCounty Cross Country Championships,the boys’ race ended up being decidedby a matter of millimeters.

Northwest High School’s Diego Za-rate posted a time of 15 minutes, 47.47seconds to edge Walt Whitman’s EvanWoods by .22 seconds to claim the in-dividual crown at Bohrer Park, next toGaithersburg High School.

Zarate held a lead of at least a fewseconds for much of the race, but startedto slow down near the finish line beforenearly losing out to a tremendous closingburst and lean from Woods.

“I just took off from the flag all theway down at the end, and in the last 10meters I was just trying to focus and Iguess I got distracted,” Zarate said. “Iguess I slowed down, and I should havebeen more focused and ran through [theline], but I guess it worked out still.”

Race officials at the finish line madethe call that Zarate had eked out the vic-tory, but Vikings coach Steve Hays re-quested that they review the video of thefinish before results became official.

After taking a closer look at the foot-age, the officials’ ruling was confirmed.

“I didn’t see the finish because I wasout there screaming and yelling, butEvan told me he out-leaned him,” Hayssaid. “I went to bat for him trying to dothe best I could, but the camera said oth-erwise. That’s the result, and it’s kind of ajudgement call because that’s not really acamera made for a finish line, so now wemove on and fight another day.”

Whitman came out on top in theteam standings, finishing with 104 pointsand placing four runners in the top 24.

The Vikings five scoring runners wereWoods (2nd, 15:47.69), Amir Khaghani(4th, 16:08), Alex Roederer (12th, 16:35),Ben Gersch (24th, 16:57) and WilliamRyba (62nd, 17:35).

“We were very excited about [theboys’ winning],” Hays said. “I think westill have some work to do. We are goingto have some good competition at states,and we are going to have to really go after

it. We’ve got 10 days to really work hard,improve on all levels and see what we cando.”

Winston Churchill took second in theteam standings (141 points), followedclosely by Bethesda-Chevy Chase (147),Walter Johnson (150) and Thomas S.Wootton (151).

Notable individual performancesincluded a third place finish for RichardMontgomery’s Rohann Asfaw (15:59),a fifth place finish for Michael Abebe(16:10) from Northwood, and a sixthplace finish from Binyam Tadesse (16:13)of John F. Kennedy. Patrick Munro fromWootton (16:14.18), Liam Walsh fromQuince Orchard (16:14.84), LorenzoNeil from Paint Branch (16:22) and ItaiBezherano from Walter Johnson (16:29)rounded out the top 10.

On the girls’ side, B-CC’s NoraMcUmber won her third-consecutivecounty title in 18:12.

The senior was surprised by the faststart of the group, and credited second-place finisher Lucy Srour (18:41, WinstonChurchill) for coaxing out her winningperformance.

“I just tried to stay with the top packfrom the beginning, and I really owe thisrace to Lucy because she was pushing methe whole entire way,” McUmber said.“She really motivated me.”

Reigning team state champion Wal-ter Johnson took top honors in the teamstandings, edging the Barons 58-65.

The Wildcats placed five runners inthe top 28: Kiernan Keller (4th, 18:54),Abbey Green (5th, 18:55), Emily Murphy(8th, 19.24), Katriane Kirsch (13th, 19:40)and Jasmine Garrett (28th, 20:34).

“I thought they ran really well today,”WJ coach Tom Martin said. “I was reallyhappy about Kati Kirsch, she is havinga strong finish to the end of the season.Our No. 5 today stepped up today, Jas-mine Garrett, but overall it was a teameffort.”

Lucie Noall from Clarksburg (18:49),Amanda Hayes-Puttfarcken of Sherwood(19:13), Grace Dellapa of Wootton (19:24),Caroline Beakes of B-CC (19:27) and OliviaWoods of Whitman (19:32) rounded outthe top 10 individual finishers.

abundance at convention

It’s a bit of a walk down 35thStreet to get to the Javits Cen-ter after getting off the E train.Whenwalking with Batmen,Deadpools and an occasionalDuffman, however, the stroll isa little jauntier.

More than 151,000 comicbook nerds, sci-fi geeks andliterary aficionados attendedthis year’s New York ComicCon earlier thismonth. Thatnumber doesn’t include thevendors, exhibitors, artists andcelebrities working the event.NYCC has always played sec-ond fiddle to the SanDiegoComic Con, which is known asone of the biggest in the world.However, the numbers broughtin during the convention in theBig Apple this year aremorethan then estimated 130,000that showed up in SanDiegoback in July.

In short, there were a LOT

of people in a little space over aperiod of four days.

Youwouldn’t hear anycomplaints, though. Peoplepushed through the crowds inan orderly fashion, stopping tocheck out the latest offeringsfromMarvel, DC, Zenescope,LEGO, et al.

Good friendships, a little flexibility anda lot of fun are what have kept the Oxymo-rons rocking for a quarter of a century.

The eight-piece genre-spanning band

will celebrate 25 years with an anniversaryconcert at the Mansion at Strathmore at 8p.m. Oct. 24, featuring older original songsand classic covers throughout the group’scareer.

Their career began in 1989 at a largeoutdoor party, performing for very closefriends. The group had 11 members backthen, and four of the originalmusicians arestill performing with the Oxymorons to-day, including vocalist Doug Hartnett andSandy Scott, whoplays guitar andharmon-

ica. Evenwith changes in line-up since, thefeeling from getting together for that firstshow remains central to their approach.

“Playing the music we love with thepeople we love for the people we love,”Scott said, “it doesn’t get better than that.”

The Oxymorons defy categorization,performing New Orleans funk and Brit-ish rock guitar back-to-back with Chicagoblues and “jam band” music. With a cara-

van full of band members, it’sunsurprising that their influ-ences come from all points onthe musical spectrum, and theirrange of experience and per-sonalities inspired their groupname.

“It’s a pretty eclectic group— as close as we are, we haveeclectic influences and differ-ent musical favorites,” saidHartnett. “The name sort of ex-presses the juxtaposition of stuffwe do, as well as give a little hintof self-deprecation.”

Bynot taking themselves tooseriously, the Oxymorons havebeen able to approach their ca-reer with a relaxed attitude aswell as lasting friendshipswithinthe group.

“We’re all close friends inaddition to making music,” saidScott. “And our kids are friends— we’re hoping some of themwill grow up to be the next gen-eration of Oxymorons.”

“Wecall them the ‘mini-mo-rons,’” addedHartnett.

With eight different sched-

ules to juggle, however, it’s in-evitable that a member or twocan’tmake it to a certain perfor-mance. Twenty-five years, how-ever, is plenty of time to amassfriends in the industry that canbe relied on to step in whenneeded.

“With everyone having full-time day jobs, people can be outof town on work, travel or otherreasons, so we’ve become adeptat having strong subs – we callthem the ‘Foxy Morons,’” saidScott.

The group performs for alltypes of occasions throughoutthe year, but they often jump atthe chance to participate in po-litical events and shows benefit-ting different social causes.

“I think in our day jobs, weall work with a similar com-munity service focus,” Hartnettsaid, “and doing that with theband is sort of a natural exten-sion. Playing live is a lot moremotivating when there’s a pur-poseof furtheringwhatwe thinkare good causes to support.”

The Oxymorons have ex-periences ebbs and flows ofactivity during their 25 years inexistence, but as long as they

can continue having fun onstage and with each other, theexcitement of performing isn’tlikely to die down anytime soon

“Even after 25 years, it’salways exciting and nerve-wracking to walk out on stage,”said Hartnett. “It doesn’t losethat aspect just because you’vebeen doing it for awhile. It’s al-ways fresh and exciting, in thatsense.”

“It’s sort of coming togetherwith the audience, feeling thatsynergy when it’s all coming to-gether on stage,” Scott added.“And we like it when our leadguitarist uncorks a facemelter.”

sentatives dressed as Gandalfthe Grey or others.

I saw a tall, lanky gentdressed as Superman (the cos-tume almost looked too big forhim), a blackman dressed asRobin,menwith goatees dressedas characters from “SailorMoon”andmore than one larger ladydressed asWonderWoman, Poi-son Ivy andHarley Quinn.

Outside of the Javits Center,people walking by looked atthese folks with somethingmorethan curiosity. It almost felt likedisdain,maybe pity. Why, theyseemed to wonder, would youdress up as a comic book charac-ter in skin tight outfits andmakea fool out of yourself in public?

Inside, that wasn’t the case.People would stop and take pic-tures of those in costume. Thecostumed folks would alwaysstop and pose while the photog-rapher would snap pictures andsay, “Thanks.” It was the samenomatter what corner of theJavits Center I went to— verypolite people on both ends of thespectrum.

And, like a barrel full of kryp-tonite, it hit me.

There were no skinny Super-men. There were no fatWonderWomen. No black Robins orBatmen, no Asian Korras and

noHispanic Green Arrows. NodisabledDeadpools, either. JustSupermen,WonderWomen, Bat-men and Robins, Korras, GreenArrows andDeadpools.

Once inside the safety of thebuilding, everyonewas the same.No black or white. No thin or fat.No healthy or disabled. No gay or

straight.Take amoment to think

about that. With the conflictsand discrimination that alwaysthreaten to drive a wedge intoour society, would you believethere was one place wherepeople of all shapes, sizes, colorsand creeds were accepted and

celebrated?Would you believethat place would be a comic bookconvention?

For years, people havelooked down on those who areinto comic books and the like.The stereotype is there: Singleguys who live in their parents’basement and spend all day

at the comic book store, whenthey’re not in front of a com-puter. Chances are, you probablyhave themental image of theComic Book Guy from the televi-sion cartoon “The Simpsons” inyour head right now.

Of course, that’s not alwaysthe case, considering I spokewith several people who hadhigh-paying jobs in themedical,education and information tech-nology fields.

Why, then, is society so un-willing to accept a culture of folkswho are so accepting of others?Perhaps it goes back to the fear ofthe unknown? People fear whatthey don’t understand.Maybe

they’re afraid they’ll look foolish?All I know is the people who

attendedNew York Comic Conlooked happy because theywere happy.Maybewe shouldtake a chapter out of the “geek”playbook and becomemore ac-cepting of not only others, butourselves?

Maybewe should all startdressing up as our favoritesuperheroesmore often. I’ll beBatman and accept folks forwho they are, not what theylook like.

Whowill you be?
