According to a blog post by Friends of White Flint, the county’s most recent design for Old Georgetown Road calls for a roadway that is eight lanes wide, including turning lanes. The master plan for the area, the blog post says, envisioned five lanes of traffic with bike lanes on each side of the road and a shared-use path. The post, written by Lindsay Hoffman, the group’s executive director, is at whiteflint.org. Hoffman wrote that the coun- ty’s design is a setback that could undo years of work to imple- ment the bike- and pedestrian- friendly environment outlined in the White Flint Sector Plan. The design prioritizes cars over other forms of transportation and will lead to fewer people walking, bik- ing or taking transit, she wrote. Her post urged residents to email the county with their con- cerns. They responded — more than 350 emails were sent. In ad- dition, a number of other groups, including the Action Committee for Transit, Chevy Chase Land Co., Coalition for Smarter Growth and White Flint Partnership, have written to County Executive Isiah Leggett (D) with their concerns, according to the blog. Hoffman plans to meet Thursday with Ramona Bell- Pearson, assistant chief admin- istrator for the county, to talk about the section of Old George- town Road several blocks west of Rockville Pike to the intersection with Executive Boulevard. The problem, Hoffman said, is that Old Georgetown, now six lanes, already is not an eas- ily crossed road for pedestrians. It’s a state road — Md. 187 — de- signed to carry through traffic. “There’s a commuter thor- oughfare right through the sec- tor,” she said.

STAFFWRITERS

Advocates for a high-den-sity, pedestrian-friendly WhiteFlint area in North Bethesda saythe county’s road plans could“sabotage” that vision.

According to a blog postby Friends of White Flint, thecounty’s most recent design forOld Georgetown Road calls fora roadway that is eight laneswide, including turning lanes.Themaster plan for the area, theblog post says, envisioned fivelanes of traffic with bike laneson each side of the road and ashared-use path.

The post, written by LindsayHoffman, the group’s executivedirector, is at whiteflint.org.

Hoffmanwrotethat thecoun-ty’s design is a setback that couldundo years of work to imple-ment the bike- and pedestrian-friendly environment outlined inthe White Flint Sector Plan. Thedesign prioritizes cars over otherforms of transportation and willlead to fewer peoplewalking, bik-ingor taking transit, shewrote.

Her post urged residents toemail the county with their con-cerns. They responded — morethan 350 emails were sent. In ad-dition, anumber of other groups,including the Action Committeefor Transit, Chevy Chase LandCo.,CoalitionforSmarterGrowthandWhiteFlintPartnership,havewritten toCounty Executive IsiahLeggett (D) with their concerns,according to theblog.

Hoffman plans to meetThursday with Ramona Bell-Pearson, assistant chief admin-istrator for the county, to talkabout the sectionofOldGeorge-townRoad several blockswest ofRockville Pike to the intersectionwith Executive Boulevard.

n Bethesda woman tackles issueof deaf and hearing siblings

BY PEGGY MCEWANSTAFF WRITER

Imagine sitting down for dinner withyour family but having no idea of what wasreally going on.

That’s what it’s like for many deaf chil-dren growing up, according to Judith Jo-nas of Bethesda. And Jonas, who can hear,knows that first hand.

Her older brother, Larry Brick, suffereda very high fever when he was about 18months old, which caused him to lose hishearing. Jonas said their family dinners werefraught with tension because of Brick’s dif-ficulty communicating.

“As a child I knew something wasn’tright, but I didn’t have the words for it,” Jo-nas said. “[Ours] was a loving home wherethey did everything the experts of the timesaid, but they were wrong.”

Jonas and Marla C. Berkowitz of Colum-bus, Ohio, who is deaf, recently co-wrote“Deaf and Hearing Siblings in Conversa-tion,” a book about relationships and thehuman need to communicate.

When Jonas, 71, and Brick were grow-ing up, she said, the popular wisdom wasto make the deaf child part of the hearingculture as much as possible, by not teachingand using American Sign Language.

Her brother, she said, never signed as achild, but became an excellent lip reader.

“He met a mentor in grad school whosaid, ‘You need to meet deaf people andlearn to use non-speaking language,’” shesaid.

It changed his life, she said.Unlike Brick, Berkowitz, 50, was born

deaf. She has one sister and one brother,both hearing. Their relationships as adultsare “apathetic,” she said, caused to a greatextent by their inability to communicate

comfortably as children.The idea for “Deaf and Hearing Siblings

in Conversation” (McFarland) came in 1995,Jonas said, when she was reading a bookabout deaf parents raising hearing children.

“As I was reading, I kept thinking, ‘Whatabout the siblings?”” she said. “I dug anddug but there was nothing from the deafperspective. What little was written was fromthe hearing sibling. Because nobody wrotethe book, I did.”

Wanting a deaf collaborator, she con-tacted Berkowitz, with whom she had takenworkshops.

That was in December 2001 and thebook just came out.

Berkowitz and Jonas communicate us-ing sign language via a computer video pro-gram. Jonas learned sign language years ago,intending to be a teacher of deaf children.She is now an American Sign Language/Eng-lish interpreter. Berkowitz is a senior lecturer

in the American Sign Language Program.One of the reasons they wrote the book,

Berkowitz said, was to show what familieswith deaf children look like.

“Even today 85 percent of parents don’tsign,” she said.

The two women interviewed deaf andhearing siblings from 10 families, althoughthey did not include their own brothers andsisters because of privacy concerns. Theylearned that, like hearing siblings, the dy-namics of adult sibling relationships run thespectrum from intimate to hostile.

They also advocate for families with adeaf member to become bilingual house-holds.

“It’s a legitimate language,” Berkowitzsaid. “Children can use it to communicateeffectively, express and receive emotion,develop critical thinking skills, understandabstract concepts and express humor. It isall possible with [American Sign Language]as opposed to other communication mo-dalities.”

Jonas and Berkowitz said the impor-tance of using sign language was lost in thelate 1800s.

“With the expert professional peoplesince 1880, the philosophy was deaf chil-dren had to be mainstreamed into [spoken]language,” Jonas said. “Unfortunately, thatmyth was a failure.”

But it was the philosophy that Jonas’parents followed and was the source of thedinner time tension, she said. It also led herto a career of working with deaf childrenand adults and eventually to the book withBerkowitz.

The book is available online and at bookstores Jonas said. She will be at two bookevents on Oct. 19: from 1 to 4 p.m. at Barnes& Noble, 12089 Rockville Pike, Rockville; andat 7 p.m. at the Jewish Literary Festival, Jew-ish Community Center of Washington, 152916th St. N.W., Washington, D.C.

n Former prosecutoralso focusing oneconomy, traffic

BY PEGGYMCEWAN

If he’s elected MontgomeryCounty executive, RepublicanJim Shalleck says hismain focuswould be public safety, particu-larly school safety.

“I really believe we need apolice presence and a police carat every one of our 202 schools,”said Shalleck,who lives inMont-gomery Village. “Now they areonly at the high schools.”

He also would like thecounty to get rid of portableclassrooms now used at manyschools, saying they are vulner-able to attack, uncomfortableand not safe.

Shalleck, 68, moved to thecounty in 1989 to take a jobwiththeU.S. JusticeDepartment. Be-fore that heworked inNew YorkCity and was assistant districtattorney in the Bronx. Duringthat time, he said, heprosecutedDavid Berkowitz, the notorious“Son of Sam,” for two murdersin the Bronx.

“Most of my professionalcases dealt with murder and Ifirst saw what evil can do,” hesaid.

That is why he is adamantabout school safety, he said, sothat noparentswill have to go toa school wondering if their childwas alive or not.

“It’s my first priority by awide stretch,” Shalleck said. “[It]has to be the main concern ofthe county executive.”

To fund the extra police of-ficers — “at least 200 more po-lice,” he said— and equipment,he would look for a 3 percentacross-the-board spending cut,except in the public safety bud-

get.Calling

himself afiscal con-servat ive ,he said hewould lookat eliminat-ing non-e s s e n t i a ls p e n d i n g

from the county’s $5 billionbudget.

For one thing, the countyshould get out of the liquorbusi-ness, he said.

“We are the only county inthe United States that has itsown liquor stores, warehousesand trucks,” he said. “We canmake about $50 million fromthe sale of the initial assets andmore after that in taxes.”

He also has a moral objec-tion to the county’s liquor busi-ness.

“The government shouldn’tbe selling liquor,” he said.

Shalleck said he also wouldrecruit businesses to the countyto expand its economy. Al-thoughhewouldoffer taxbreaksandother incentives, he said, theeconomy would benefit fromthe new employees who wouldspendmoney and pay taxes.

“This expands the revenuebase,” he said. “My view is thatthe private sector is the enginefor economic growth. I think ifyouhadaRepublicancounty ex-ecutive, it would send the signalthat this is a business-friendlycounty.”

Shalleck also would like thecounty to establish a four-yearcollege and attract an ArenaFootball League team or minorleague baseball club.

Traffic congestion contin-ues as a problem, one he wantsto address by looking at what hecalls the “car problem.”

“My view is that Montgom-ery County is car driven,” hesaid. “I want to see the roadswider and smarter use of theroads.”

One such “smarter use” is toreverse some lanes of Interstate270 during rush hours, therebyadding extra lanes for the maintraffic flow. He also said hethinks buses are the cheapestand best way to alleviate con-gestion.

“It doesn’t take 10 years tobuild a bus line,” he said.

Shalleck is running againstDemocrat Isiah Leggett, who isseeking a third term.

BY LINDSAY A. POWERS

STAFFWRITER

The total count of per-tussis, or whooping cough,cases in Montgomery Countyschools has risen to 26, a figurethat county health officials saidrepresents abetterunderstand-ing of how many students andadults have caught the diseasesince the start of the schoolyear.

As of Thursday, 24 studentsand two adults in county pub-lic and private schools hadcome down with the respira-tory disease since last August,according to Mary Anderson,a Montgomery County Health

and Human Services spokes-woman. She said that countsshe previously provided wereincomplete.

The total number has alsogrown recently due to newcases. College Gardens El-ementary School in Rockvillesent a letter home on Sept. 23to notify families about the ap-pearance of pertussis in theschool community, Andersonsaid. Briggs Chaney MiddleSchool in Silver Spring sent aletter home on Sept. 19.

Twelve public schools havehad cases appear in peoplelearning or working in theirbuildings.

Of the24sick students, 14ofthe cases are tied to a summercamp that about 200 countychildrenattended this summer,Anderson said. County healthofficials believe the studentswere exposed to the disease,

which is highly contagious, atCapitalCamps inPennsylvania.

“We’ve had other instances[in schools] that have hadnothing to do with the camp,”Anderson said. Thedisease typ-ically shows up in school build-ings each year.

The schools that have ex-perienced cases are Gaithers-burg, Northwest, Sherwood,Walter Johnson and ThomasS. Wootton high schools; JuliusWest, Cabin John, Robert Frost,Rocky Hill and Briggs Chaneymiddle schools; and ColdSpring and College Gardenselementary schools. All publicschools have sent a letter hometo alert families.

Health officials do not haveinformation about the cases inprivate schools. The countyhasseen a total of 35 cases of per-tussis so far in 2014.

Anderson said that the stu-

dents who fell ill had all beenvaccinated.

“Nobodyknows for sure ex-actly what happens, but thereare instanceswith vaccine-pre-ventable diseases where indi-vidualswho’vebeenvaccinateddo get sick even if they’ve hadthe vaccination,” she said.

If a student is diagnosedwith whooping cough, theyneed to take antibiotics for fivedays before heading back toclass, Anderson said. The dis-ease can cause those infectedto develop a cough involvingbark-like or “whoop” noises.

With new state immuniza-tion requirements inplace, stu-dents entering seventh gradethis school year had to receivea vaccination toprevent againstpertussis as well as tetanus anddiphtheria.

n Conviction of ‘sovereign citizens’in Bethesda case highlighted

by Anti-Defamation League

BYDANIEL LEADERMANSTAFFWRITER

The arrest and prosecution of twomembers of a “sovereign citizen” groupearned Montgomery County law enforce-ment officials recognition from the Anti-Defamation League.

The case was an odd one: LamontButler, a man claiming to be a “MoorishAmerican national,” broke into a $6 mil-lion Bethesda mansion with his girlfriendinearly 2013andclaimed it ashis own.But-ler claimed he was entitled to themansion— which was unoccupied at the time; itsownerwas living inChicago—because theproperty originally belonged to his people.

The subsequent conviction of Butlerand Sakita Holly on charges of burglaryearned Montgomery County’s police de-partment, sheriff’s office and state’s at-torney’s office the SHIELDAward from theleague’sWashington, D.C., office Sept. 17.

SHIELD— for service, honor, integrity,excellence, leadership and dedication —awards recognize law enforcement agen-cies for fighting terrorism and hate crimesand protecting civil rights.

Fighting the spreadof anti-governmentextremism — such as sovereign citizens,who don’t recognize the legitimacy of thefederal government—isoneof the league’score issues, said Elise Jarvis, the organiza-tion’s associate director for law enforce-ment outreach and communal security.

“We were very proud to recognize thiscase,” Jarvis said.

Sheriff Darren M. Popkin said investi-gators and officials involved in the case, aswell as their families, received threats frommembers of the anti-government groupbefore and during the investigation —some of which involved the filing of liens.

Sovereign citizens have a history of fil-ing retaliatory, false liens— sometimes formillions or billions of dollars— against theproperty of officials who investigate them.Such liens can damage a person’s credit

rating and can be difficult to remove.“When you get these threats against

your family, it’s scary for investigators,”Popkin said. “But they were persistent.”

Officials from Montgomery Countylaterworkedwith theCharlesCounty Sher-iff’s Office—which also was honored witha SHIELD award— to investigate a similarattempt to claimahouse inWaldorf in June2013. That incident involved seven sover-eign citizens, including Butler and Holly,whohadnot yet stood trial for theBethesdabreak-in.

The SHIELD Award, which recognizeslaw enforcement agencies fromMaryland,Virginia, Washington, D.C., and NorthCarolina, has been given out annuallysince 2010. This year, an award also waspresented to the agencies involved in fourother cases, which included investigationsof Ku Klux Klan members in Virginia andLebanese financial institutions connectedto theHezbollahmilitant group.

TheMontgomeryCounty State’s Attor-ney’s Office and county police departmentwerepreviously honored in 2012 for pursu-ing and prosecuting the man responsiblefor a series of hate crimes inWheaton.

State’s Attorney John McCarthy saidhe’s honored that his office has twice beenrecognized by the league.

n Executive says he hasrepaid $9,200 that

came from campaign

BY BILL TURQUETHEWASHINGTON POST

Montgomery County Ex-ecutive Isiah Leggett improperlyused $9,200 in campaign fundsfor trips to El Salvador, Ethiopiaand China between 2011 and2013 as part of the county’s “Sis-ter Cities” program, the Mary-land StateBoardof Elections hasruled.

In a Sept. 8 letter to theLeggett campaign treasurer,Lawrence Rosenblum, the boardsaid campaign funds “must havea direct nexus” with election ac-tivities.TheSisterCitiesprogram,created to improve cultural andeconomic ties with countries oforigin for much of the county’simmigrant population, did notmeet the standard.

“It seems apparent that thetrips inquestiondonotdealwithMr. Leggett’s status as a can-didate but rather as an electedofficial,” said Jared DeMarinis,director of the board’s candi-dacy andcampaignfinancedivi-sion. He noted that the trips arepromotedon thecountygovern-ment’s Web site and organizedin cooperation with the countyOffice of Community Partner-ships. The missions includedlarge delegations of businessand civic leaders whose mem-bers were not candidates, andthey included Leggett’s wife,Catherine.

DeMarinis also said theboard disallowed a $12,700 loanfrom Leggett to his campaignto underwrite travel expensesfor the September 2013 trip toChina.

The board’s finding is apeculiar twist to an old story.Elected officials are usuallycalled out for using officialfunds to pursue purely politi-cal activity. In this case, Leggettwas dinged for just the opposite:using political money for some-thing the state regarded as hisofficial duty.

Leggett said Friday that hehad repaid his campaign com-mittee the $9,200. He said hecould have used county fundsfor the trips but was advisedby Rosenblum that the use ofcampaign funds was appropri-ate. The point, he said, was tosave money for county taxpay-ers.

Leggett’s campaign clearlyhad the funds available. Heended his successful Democraticprimary campaign for a thirdterm with $425,000 in cash onhand, according to his August fil-ingwith the electionboard.

“I just wanted to make surethat in the midst of a reces-sion that we were keeping ourexpenses down,” Leggett said.Between the $9,200, the disal-lowed loan and expenses for

a trip scheduled for this fall,Leggett said, his out-of-pocketexpenses amount to nearly$40,000.

Rosenblum said he plannedto appeal the election board’sruling.

The annual trips focusedon establishing official ties withMorazan, El Salvador (2011);Gondar, Ethiopia (2012); andXi’an,China (2013). Thenext trip,to the south Indian city ofHyder-abad, is set forNovember.

Rosenblum said the coun-tries were selected because theywere once home to the county’slargest immigrant communities.The goal, he said, was to boostLeggett’s political profile withthose voters. “It’s clear to meand to Ike that his motivationfor these trips was to engage thelocal immigrant community,”he said.

ButLeggett saidafterhis2010reelection that he would proba-blynot runfora third term,seem-ingly weakening Rosenblum’scontention that the 2011 and2012 tripswere about politics.

DeMarinis said an anony-mous complaint alerted theboard to Leggett’s campaigncharges. He said other electedofficialswhomade the tripswithLeggett had asked the electionboard about the propriety of us-ing campaign funds and wereadvised against it. Leggett’scampaign did not check in ad-vance.

County news releases andother materials describing thetrips emphasize economic de-velopment objectives, as well ascultural outreach. The journeysincluded visits not only to thesister cities but also to other re-gions of the countries, often fordiscussion of economic devel-opment opportunities for thecounty.

“Leggett Mission to ChinaAdvances County Business &Investment Aims,” said a newsrelease headline. It describedthe 10-day, four-city trip as“aimed at advancing Chinesejobs and investment in theCounty and opening doors forCounty businesses there, aswellas establishing a ‘Sister City’ re-lationship with the city of Xi’an,with eight million residents andhome to the famous Terra CottaArmy.”

One immediate result ofthe trip, the county said, was acommitment from the Beijing-based China Fortune LandDevelopment Co. to make “asignificant financial invest-ment” in BioHealth Innova-tion, a Rockville public-privatepartnership designed to fosterresearch that brings new healthand medical products to themarketplace.

credit card in Jacksonville, N.C.“Brad” Bishop, as he was

known, is believed to havebludgeoned his wife, motherand three sons to death at theirBethesda home in March 1976.Investigators believe he thendrove their bodies to Colum-bia, N.C., in the family stationwagon, where he set them onfire in a shallow grave.

Placing Bishop on themost wanted list — whichbrings worldwide publicity andcomes with a $100,000 reward— coincided with the decisionby producers of CNN’s “TheHunt with John Walsh,” whichprofiles fugitives, to feature thecase on an episode that wasshown in July.

“That’s when we startedgetting a tremendous numberof leads,” said MontgomeryCounty Sheriff Darren M. Pop-kin. Many of them are unwork-able, such as a chance sightingwithout enough detail to inves-tigate. But some tipsters pro-vide photographs, addressesand places where the would-beBishop works, Popkin said.

So far, leads have includeda possible sighting of Bishop inCambodia — which proved notto be him — and a body found

in Mexico, which was ruled outusing a DNA sample obtainedfrom one of Bishop’s cigarettebutts, Vogt said.

Sightings of look-alikesare common in such investi-gations, Vogt said. The searchfor mobster James “Whitey”Bulger — who was on the mostwanted list for 12 years beforehis capture in 2011 — includedmany such tips, Vogt said.

Most of the Bishop look-alikes are cooperative andwilling to provide fingerprintsto prove their identities. Oneman in New York acknowl-edged how much he looked likeBishop, and even asked inves-tigators for a flier as a souvenir,Vogt said.

Investigators are lookingat two still-unidentified bodiesfound not long after the victimswere killed, Popkin said.

The CNN program hasbeen shown several times andled to about 75 percent of thetips investigators have receivedsince Bishop was put on thelist, Vogt said.

Bishop, a Yale Universitygraduate who worked over-seas for the State Department,spoke several languages andwas a licensed amateur pilotwho learned to fly in Botswana.Investigators have said he mayhave easily established a newidentity.

But his experience livingabroad doesn’t mean he’s leftthe country.

“People tend to think thatwhen you can’t find someonequickly, [he] might be over-seas or dead,” Vogt said. “Hecould be anywhere. He couldbe here.”

Investigators from the FBI,the police department andsheriff’s office in MontgomeryCounty and the State Depart-ment formed a task force in2013 to review the Bishop caseas part of a cold case initia-tive. It was a renewed push tofind Bishop because — if he’sstill alive — he is getting on inyears, Popkin said.

The work of that task forceled to Bishop’s placement onthe most wanted list.

Bishop is 6 feet, 1 inch talland had brown hair and browneyes when he disappeared.One of his most distinguishingphysical traits might normallybe concealed from view: a6-inch vertical surgical scar onhis lower back.

“All we need is the onephone call to break [the case],”Vogt said, explaining that it wasjust a matter of getting morepeople to see Bishop’s face.“It’s a horrible case. We can’tforget it.”

Max Greenbaum, 7, said hedoesn’t like lettuce or tomatoesor ranch dressing, but he likesthe idea of planting seeds.

And Shade Akinde, 7, wasquite excited about the wholeSalad Science program.

“I love all the vegetables inthe world,” she said.

Students in the GreenKidsprogram grow their own saladgreens for about six weeks —the Garrett Park students willharvest their produce in midNovember — then gather theirgreens for a salad bar feast.Whole Foods Markets donatesother vegetables, toppings anddressings toroundout thepartyofferings, said Diane Lill, direc-tor of the GreenKids program.

“Making the goal being acelebration is fun for the kids,”she said.

Lill said the Audubon Natu-ralist Society has had a Green-Kids program, getting childrenoutside and connected withnature, since 2005 and inaugu-rated Salad Science as soon asthe county school system be-gan allowing school vegetablegardens in 2011.

She said the goal is to reach25 schools this year.

“We want to support theschools and make this part oftheir curriculum,” she said.

To reach that goal, she said,the program offers teachertraining and is trying to getPTA members and parents onboard, too. If a school is new tothe program, Audubon sendshelpers weekly. At Garrett Park,which is beginning its thirdyear in the program, Audubonhelps only with planting andthe party.

Since the second-gradeteachers at Garrett Park havemadeSaladSciencepartof theircurriculum, they help studentskeep weekly data books, re-cording temperature and rain-fall and illustrating the plants’growth. They also maintain theraisedplantingbedswithweed-ing and watering.

“The best thing about it isthere are kids that never eatfresh fruits and vegetables,”Cassagnol said. “This is a greatopportunity for them.”

And the salad party?It will be “yummy,” said

Hoya Street is to eventuallyconnect to the redeveloped in-tersection of Old GeorgetownRoad and Executive Boulevard.

Hoffman argues that itmakes more sense to narrow theroad, because it will encouragepeople to walk and bike more,and drive less.

The letter-writing campaignto Leggett came after a memberof the group’s board recently metinformally with county transpor-tation officials to look at draftdesign plans for the section thatare nearly 70 percent complete,Hoffman wrote in an email.

Concernedaboutthecounty’sapparent widening of a section ofOld Georgetown Road instead ofnarrowing it, the group made adrawing and posted it on the blog,showing up to eight lanes, includ-ing turning lanes, west of the newGrand Park Avenue.

“Timeisof theessenceastheymove forward,” Hoffman said.

County transportation of-ficials, however, said the finaldrawings won’t be finished untilthis month or November.

The preliminary 70 percentdrafts show six lanes, includingturn lanes — not eight — at whatwill become a reworked inter-section where Executive Boule-vard feeds into Old GeorgetownRoad, said Bruce Johnston, chiefof transportation engineering.

Thedrawingsdon’t showbikelanes, but they are planned as de-velopment continues, he said. Ifthe Hoya Street extension helpsrelieve traffic, it may be possibleto drop a turn lane, he said.

“We are currently review-ing a traffic report to see if theHoya Street project might al-low us to ask [the State HighwayAdministration] to move aheadwith narrowing Old GeorgetownRoad sooner than originally an-ticipated,” Leggett said in a draftletter he plans to send those whoemailed him.

“Obtaining agreement from[the state agency] is necessarybecause, as noted earlier, reduc-ing the number of lanes on OldGeorgetown Road is subject to[state] approval,” he wrote.

n Bethesda church groupperformed aroundFrance in July

BY PEGGY MCEWANSTAFF WRITER

The St. Jane de ChantalChildren’s Choir from Bethesdajoined 7,000 children fromaround the world in France tosing for peace in July.

The choir, directed by OlgaMorales, belongs to the groupPueri Cantores, which wasfounded after World War II tobring together children of allnations to sing for peace. Eachsummer the group holds a con-gress in a different country.

The choir began its tour inNormandy, where it sang atthe D-Day memorial and tookpart in a wreath-laying cer-emony, according to an emailfrom Scott Matejik, a memberof the parish school board. Thesingers’ backs were to OmahaBeach and they faced 9,780white crosses representing U.S.soldiers who died during theJune 1944 invasion.

During the following week,the children sang at the Cathe-dral of Notre Dame in Paris andother churches around the city.They dined in local cafes, vis-ited the Louvre and Versailles,and toured the city. They wentup the Eiffel Tower after darkand saw the twinkling lights

and a view of the City of Light.A French family who had

spent nine years attendingthe Bethesda Roman Catholicchurch before moving backto France invited the group totheir Paris apartment to cele-brate the friendships that weremade over the years.

The choir has participated

in three previous Pueri Can-tores convocations: in Rome,Spain and Washington, D.C.This year, the group comprised23 children and 27 adults, in-cluding the pastor of St. Jane deChantal parish and the princi-pal and two teachers from theparish school.

The children met young

people from around the worldand shared common memo-ries. They sang alongside choirsfrom France, Korea, Germanyand Spain, singing music inFrench, Spanish, Italian andLatin.

n ‘It’s a greatsurprise to me’

BY KATE S. ALEXANDERSTAFF WRITER

Numerous organizationsare backing Natali Fani-Gon-zalez’s bid to serve on theMontgomery County PlanningBoard.

Fani-Gonzalez was one offour candidates short-listed fora vacancy on the board whointerviewed Sept. 23 with theCounty Council.

She is the owner of a publicrelations firm in Rockville andalso ran in the June primaryfor the House of Delegates inDistrict 18. She lives near Kens-ington.

As of Thursday, at least fiveorganizations and two citizenswrote to the council in supportof Fani-Gonzalez.

“It’s great to feel that peoplereally trust you,” Fani-Gonzalezsaid. “It’s a great surprise tome.”

Montgomery CountyChamber of Commerce, theMaryland Building Indus-try Association, ProgressiveNeighbors, Upcounty Actionand SEIU 32BJ were amongthose who expressed their sup-

port for hercandidacy.

“ W eb e l i e v e[ F a n i -Gonzalez]would givean openear to posi-tive actionsdesigned to

serve our county well and doesnot come to the board with apre-determined agenda,” wroteSharon Dooley, legislative di-rector of Upcounty Action.

“We have been impressedwith her work in the immigrantcommunity; her commitmentto transparency, inclusion andsocial justice; and her ability tobuild consensus among diversegroups,” Wally Malakoff, co-chair of Progressive Neighborswrote.

Fani-Gonzalez said she metwith many people and groupsaround the county to under-stand their perspectives onplanning issues and share hersboth before and after she ap-plied for the job.

“My background is not usu-ally the background you see ona planning board,” she said.“And I think that is actually agreat thing.”

Dennis Kamber and Victor

Weissberg also each received aletter of support for their candi-dacy on the board.

Norman Dreyfuss, a cur-rent member of the planningboard described Kamber as a“thoughtful and objective can-didate.”

“I can’t say enough abouthis positive qualifications forthis job and our good fortunein having him willing to serveon the board,” Dreyfuss wrote.“We are so lucky to have himapply after having just retiredform an unbelievably produc-tive career solving major issuessuch as flood control, wastewater system management andwater supply solutions of greatcomplexity.”

While the MontgomeryCounty Chamber of Commerce

and the Maryland Building In-dustry Association both highlyrecommended Fani-Gonzalezfor the post, they also recom-mended Kamber.

Tony Hausner of Safe Sil-ver Spring wrote in supportof Weissberg, who previouslyserved on the Silver Spring Citi-zens Advisory Board.

Montgomery County Coun-cil also interviewed CharlesKauffman for the position.

The position opened whenboard member Casey Andersonwas named board chairman inJuly.

Anderson was selected toreplace former chairwomanFrancoise Carrier who resignedearlier this year.

District 1During an interviewwithThe

Gazette’s editorial board, RepublicanJimKirkland framed the race like this:A vote for him is a call formore funinMontgomeryCounty’s nightlife. Avote for theDemocratic incumbent,RogerBerliner, is acceptance of a bor-ingbedroomcommunity.

Kirkland’smajor platformpoint isrestructuring the county governmentworkforce—andprivate employ-ment, if companieswill go for it— tocreate a family shift during thedayanda “partiers” shift that starts late inthemorning and ends in the evening.He says itwill rejuvenate the “coma-tose” social scene and lessen trafficcongestion.

Kirklanddoesn’t havemuchgravi-tas ormanydeep thoughts on sub-stantive issues.

On theother hand, Berliner hasaccomplishments and goals.Hehasideas forworkforce training.He is awatchdogonenergy issues andutil-ity regulation,which isn’t surprising,consideringhis background in energylaw.He is pushing to add reliabilityandperformance as conditions for thePepco-Exelonmerger.

Berliner should remain theDistrict1 councilman.

District 2RepublicanDick Jurgenawas one

of themorepleasant candidateswetalkedwith, but amiable shouldn’t beconfusedwith qualified.

Hewasdriven to run for publicofficebecause of howhe thought theschool system is failing—which thecouncil has little power to change.

Inmaking a standardpitch to cuttaxes and spending, Jurgena addedthat he’s against having aminimumwage.

He suggested funnelingmoney for

roadsprojects into ahigh-speed Inter-net infrastructure likeChattanooga,Tenn., has. Thenumber of peoplelured intoworking inMontgomeryCounty insteadof passing through toD.C. jobswould ease the transporta-tionproblems, he said.

Jurgenafloated anunusual anduntenable idea for campaignfinance:only let people living in adistrict do-nate to candidates running in thatdistrict.

Democratic incumbentCraig L.Rice speaks smartly andpassionatelyon a variety of issues.Hewas the onlycouncil candidatewho talked aboutkeeping agriculture a sustainable busi-ness,which is an economic and land-protection issue.

Rice’s campaignfinance idea ismore sensible— fundraising andspending caps in local races.

He’sworking on, amongotherthings, legislation to giveMontgomeryCounty businesses preferencewhenawarding contracts.

WebelieveRice, a former statedelegate, has good sensibilities andinitiative, andmerits another term.

District 4Democratic incumbentNancy

Navarrohas establishedherself as anadvocate onbusiness andminorityissues.

Shewasbehind the LatinoCivicProject that helps get Latino residentsmore connected to and informedabout their local government. She saidit has prompted residents to speakabout broader issues, not justminor-ity-focused concerns, like English as asecondary language instruction.

Navarrohas been involved inmany community projects and servedon the school board. She seems to

have a goodgraspof a broad survey ofissues.

Her opposition is not substantial.Republican JohnO’Malley describeshimself as a libertarian, concernedabout government abuses in a surveil-lance state. This is a healthy skepti-cism tohave, butO’Malley doesn’tmakemuchof a case that a county of-ficial canbe a significant safety valve.

His platform is equally general—cut unnecessary “nuisance” taxes,restrict government services to onlywhat’s necessary.He, too, says thegovernment shouldnot set amini-mumwage.

Navarrowoulddisagree, and sodowe.

Navarro is a sound choice for con-tinuing to representDistrict 4.

Districts 3 and 5GaithersburgMayor SidneyA.

Katz, aDemocrat running inDistrict3, andDel. TomHucker, aDemocratrunning inDistrict 5,won their prima-ries and are unopposed in the generalelection.

At largeWhenweaskedDemocratic

CouncilwomanNancyM. Floreenif a Republican could get elected tothe council, she didn’t hesitate longbefore replying “No.” The challengersare goodpeople, she said, butGOPcandidates showupevery four yearsanddo little in between.

We’re loath to only endorseDem-ocrats—even inMontgomery,whereDemocrats have a 3-to-1 advantageover Republicans. But Floreen’swordsring true.

We respect anyonewhocaresenough to run for public office. But,over andover,weheard this electionseason fromchallengers in county,state and federal raceswhoknow

littlemore thanhow to sayno.Manyweren’t versed inbudget issues anddidn’t have specific ideas ofwhat tochange.

In the council race, Republicansput up amixedbagof challengers forthe four at-large seats.

RobertDyer is against thebus-rapid transit plan and supports hav-ing aprivate companybuild anewcrossing over thePotomacRiver tojump-start economicdevelopment byreachingDulles International Airport.He said the incumbents have apoortrack recordonbringing inmajor in-dustry.

Adol T.Owen-Williams II is brash;his frustrationquickly reaches acrescendo.He is outraged about thehigh cost of housingpermits.He saysthe reasoningbehind thebag tax isbogus.Heblasts government leaderswho support services andbenefits forillegal immigrants.He is longon criti-cism, short on solutions.

Chris P. Fiotes Jr. canceled ascheduledmeetingwith our edito-rial board.Hehas ignored severalsubsequent invitations tomeetwiththeboardor speakwith a reporter fora candidate profile. Candidateswhodon’tmake themost basic attempt totalk to voters through their local news-paper can’t be seriously considered.

TheRepublicanwe likedbestwasShelly Skolnick.Whatever you think ofhis ideas, hehas plenty of them; somehavemerit.Whynot build centersfor bus riders atMetro stations,withseats, restroomsand food courts?Howabout offeringmore savings forMetroriders outside of thepeakperiods?FreeMontgomeryCollege tuition forfirst responders andpublic-school tu-tors? A “penny round-up” tax at storesto replace thebag tax? (OK, someofhis ideas are clunkers.)

GreenParty candidate TimWillardis concentrating on cutting depen-denceon fossil fuels andpromoting

renewable energy.His ideas on rentcontrol and retrofitting buildings tocreate affordable housing seemrea-sonable, butwe can’t support himover the incumbents.

That leaves the fourDemocratsseekingnewat-large terms. Eachof-fers particular accomplishments andexpertise.

Floreen, a formermayor ofGarrettPark, is a plain-talking skepticwhoun-derstands local government. She saidsheworked to create theMontgomeryBusinessDevelopmentCorp. to cutthroughbureaucracy andpolitics thatcanhamper business growth.

MarcElrich, a formerTakomaPark councilman, spearheadedoneofthemost significant updates inMont-gomeryCounty in years: a regional in-crease in theminimumwage, pushingthe county aheadof the state and thecountry on a crucial economic issue.He’s not afraid to be the lone voice ofdissent and is a leader on transporta-tion issues.

HansRiemerhas helped thecounty governmentmake good stridesonopenness, particularly in gettingpublic information anddata onto theweb.He toldus that thenext step isgetting allMarylandPublic Informa-tionAct requests to the county and theresults online, too, a transparency andinformationmeasurewe fully support.Riemerhasworkedon ideas to im-prove the county’s nightlife and saidhewants to ease the county out of theliquor business.

Finally, there’sGeorge L. Leven-thal, whohas been strongonhealth is-sues andaffordable housing.Heplansto introducebills on goodgovernanceinhomeowners associations andban-ning lawnchemicals andpesticides,except for agricultural land, andhasideas for streamlining government.

We recommend fourmore yearsfor the four at-large incumbents.

For County Council, keep the incumbents

OUROPINION

Today, The Gazette continues itsendorsements for contested races inthe Nov. 4 general election.

Twomenare asking for yourvote asMontgomeryCounty ex-ecutive, and they offer two starklydifferent pictures of the county.

County Executive Isiah Leggett,theDemocrat, believes hehasnavigated the county throughdif-ficult fiscal times over the last eightyears.Hewants a third term lead-ingMontgomerywhen times aren’tso tough.

JimShalleck, theRepublican,emphasizes public safety,wantingapolice presence in eachMont-gomeryCounty school and theeliminationof portable classroomsoutside county schools. ShallecktoldGazette editors the countycouldprivatize its liquor sales toraisemillions that could go toschool construction.Heoffers boldideas like a four-year university inthe county or a professional sportsteam.

Someof Shalleck’s ideas arerefreshing, even if they are abit un-realistic.We like his idea of privatiz-ing county liquor sales, an issuewe’ve supported.His other ideasare less excitingupon reflection.With the growth at theUniversi-ties at ShadyGrove, a newcollegecouldbeunnecessary. AAAAbase-ball teamcouldbe anice frill, butwewonder if voterswouldpreferan executivewhowould exert hisenergy onbasic issues like trans-portation andnot onbold ideasfor newamenities. Andwewonderwhether parentswould stomachanincreasedpolice presence at everyschool.

For theprimary, TheGazettechosenot to endorse Leggett.Webelieved, and still do, that hemustbeheld accountable for thedebacleof the Silver SpringTransit Center.

Itwas supposed to open in 2010 ata cost of $95million. Still not open,theprice taghas reached $120mil-lion. Theproject stains Leggett’srecord.

Inhismeetingwith our editors,Leggett said he couldhave ac-ceptedquickfixes thatwouldhaveallowed the center to open, leavingthebulk of the issues for his succes-sor.Wepraise Leggett for taking alonger viewandaccepting respon-sibility for theproblems.

Leggett offers fewer bold ideas,but his goals are realistic andhe’sin touchwith the county’s needs.Hewants to help growcertain sec-tors of thework force, focusingon the importance of training infields—such asplumbing—oftenoverlooked in thepursuit of col-lege degrees, even though they areimportant careers that canprovidegood incomes.He alsopoints to hissuccesses at streamlining countygovernment; a fire code inspectionthat once took six to eightweeksnowcanbe completed in threedays.He rightfully showspride indescribing foreign companies thathave located inMontgomery.

He also seemed to softenonone issue: the energy tax. In June,hepointedout theCountyCouncilreduced the energy tax, not him. Inourmore recentmeeting, Leggettsaid hebelieved the energy taxcouldhave “challenged” certainbusinesses and said it’sworth ex-aminingways tomake sure it’s notunfairly impacting sectors.He alsocalled for “lower costs,” a signalthat he couldbewilling to reduceMontgomery taxes further.

Althoughwedidn’t endorseLeggett in June’s primary election,webelieve Leggett’s executive ex-periencemakes himabetter choiceto lead the county andhedeservesa third term.

Leggett has earnedanother term

Just before Maryland’s June 24 pri-mary election, gubernatorial candidateAnthony Brown said he considered theprimary as “thebigger objective”and that the gen-eral election wasa “little bit of amolehill to takein November.”Yet, after cruis-ing to victory inJune, Brown ishaving difficultyconquering thatmolehill. Or, asMeet The Press’sChuck Todd putsit, “Brown is acting like a candidate whocan’t put (RepublicanLarry)Hoganaway,and inablue state likeMaryland, that tellsyouBrown is struggling.”

Can Larry Hogan win in the nation’sfourthmost liberal statewhichonly electsRepublicangovernorsevery36years?Fiveweeks before election day, here’s howthings stand:

The campaignsIf Hogan gets every Republican and

every independent vote he still loses in astate where Dems are 55 percent of theregistered voters. That’s why Hogan iscampaigning against Maryland’s hightaxes and stagnant economy, a messagewith crossover appeal. Brown doesn’twant to fight on that battlefield, so he’spainting Hogan as a “right-wing extrem-ist” on social issues. Brown wants theelection to be a referendum on abor-tion, gun control and civil rights, not theO’Malley/Brown taxhikes.

Meanwhile, Brown is laying low let-ting his campaignmanager, Justin Schall,domost of the talking.Will it be BrownorSchall who shows up to debateHogan onTV?

MoneyIn the last four gubernatorial elec-

tions theDemnominees ranuncontestedin the primary allowing them to build biggeneral electionwar chests. This primary,Brown spent $11 million defeating a pairof contenders so now he’s forced to re-build his finances.

Meanwhile, Hogan took $2.6 millioninpublic campaignfinancing freeing himof fundraising but capping his spending.

The GOP can pitch in an additional $3.7million but, by election day, Brown willstill outspend Hogan 4 to 1. Advantage,Brown.

Lt. governor curseThanks to “administration fatigue”,

no lieutenant governor has ever suc-ceeded an incumbent Maryland gover-nor. But Brownwould also beMaryland’sfirst African-American governor, whichmayoffset thehex.

Voter turnoutHogan is helped because it’s a mid-

term(non-presidential)electionwhentheturnout is traditionally older and whiter(nationally, black turnout slipped from61percent in2008 to44percent in2010) andbecause it’saRepublicanyear (it looks liketheGOPwillwin theU.S. senate).

Maryland’s primary turnoutwas a re-cord lowandNov. 4’smaybeasbadsincethere’s no U.S. Senate race here this yearand because most seats were decided inthe primary. The three remaining com-petitive county executive races (Freder-ick, Howard and Anne Arundel) are notin Brown’s strongest counties andno oneknowshowchangingMaryland’sprimaryfromSeptember to Junewill effect theNo-vember turnout.

Nationally, Republicans aremore en-ergized thanDems (79 percent of Repub-licans are “certain to vote” compared to66percent ofDems).Until he gothis “warbounce,” President Obama was pollingworse (41 percent favorable) thanGeorgeW.Bush at the samepoint in their secondterms.

What hurts Hogan is his lack of anelection base (he’s never held office) andMaryland’s enormous African-Americanvote, up to 25 percent of the electorate.Hogan has a black runningmate but thatdoesn’t offset the allure of electing Mary-land’s first black governor.

PollingBecause the newspapers are broke,

there’s a dearth of public polling so far.Post-primary polls showed Brown aheadby18to20points.Amid-AugustGOPpoll,discounted by most observers, showedHogan trailing by only 3 points. Then,a flawed CBS/New York Times poll putBrown 12 points ahead. But this poll’smethodology is suspect and it weighted

blacks as 28 percent of turnout, a highlyunlikely prospect.

So, lacking good polling data, we’resifting through tea leaves for clues. Ru-mors of a tightening race appear substan-tiated by some unusual Brown campaignmoves. Is goingwildlynegativeonHoganbefore LaborDay a tell?

Brown’s harsh TV attack ads takeextreme liberties with the truth. For in-stance, Brown is holding Hogan respon-sible for the high university tuition rateswhich occurred during the Ehrlich ad-ministration. Hogan is responsible, saysBrown, because he was Ehrlich’s patron-age chief at the time.

Likewise,Brown’sproof thatHogan isanti-abortion rests on a statementHoganmade 30 years ago when he was 28 yearsold. Are theDems using these wild smeartactics because they’re afraid of Hogan orsimply because the’ve always worked inthepast thanks toacomplicitpresscorps?

Also, the Democratic Governor’s As-sociation is now airing $750,000 of anti-Hogan attack ads, a real eyebrow-raisersince the DGA normally spends only inbattleground states, not in one-partyMaryland. And Gov. O’Malley, this week,announced he’s interrupting his presi-dential campaign to help Brown inMary-land.

Other tea leaves include a tighten-ing U.S. Senate race next door in Virginiawhere Republican Ed Gillespie closed a22-point gap to only nine points againstDemU.S. Sen. Mark Warner (Quinnipiacpoll). Is something going onout there?

But, forBrown,perhapsthemostwor-risome tea leafwas theprimary turnout inhis home county, Prince George’s, whichhe represented in the state legislature. InJunehewon77percentof theDemocraticvote there but turnout was only 19.5 per-cent,worst among thebigcounties. Whatdoes it mean when so few come out for afavorite son in ahotly contestedprimary?

The black vote is Brown’s ace-in-the-hole, a low black turnout could cost himthe election. So look for a repeat of 1998whenParrisGlendeningbeatEllenSauer-braywithhis last-minuterace-basedscareads thatdroveblacks to thepolls. Itwasn’tpretty but itworked.

n “The Night Fairy” delves intothe world of wingless fairy Flory

BY KIRSTY GROFFSTAFFWRITER

Imagination Stage celebrates themagic of the unknown in their season-opening production of “The NightFairy.”

Based on a book of the same nameby Baltimore author Laura Amy Schlitz,the tale follows Flory — a night fairy —as shefindsherself in theunfamiliar ter-ritoryof daytimeafter abatmistakesherfor a moth and eats her wings, leavingher flightless.

Though her survival instincts kickin almost immediately, over time sheopens herself up, grows accustomed toher new life and learns to recognize the

needs of others around her in this newworld.

“It’s totally a growing up story, andthere are plenty of those out there,”said Tia Shearer, who plays Flory, “butit’s done in such a graceful way whereyou watch this little person be hugelyimperfect, and you watch her becomemore and more aware of other peopleexisting around her. That’s such a gor-geous thing to give to children—and tothe adults as well.”

While making her way through theworld of daylight, she meets and be-friends Skuggle, a squirrel with a bit ofan ego at first, but like Flory, maturesover the course of the play.

The animals are all played by actors—no puppet stand-ins—and since theintended audience ranges from ages 4to 10, it can be difficult to get the rightbalance of animal and human on stage.

“One of the things that can be trickyaboutplayingananimal is knowinghowmuch to bring in animal behavior,” saidErin Weaver, who plays Skuggle. “Youdon’t want one person on all fours andeveryone else isn’t. It’s been a really in-

Flory the Fairy, played by Tia Shearer, discovers an unlikely friend in Peregrine, a bat, played by Ryan Sellers, in the Imagination Stage produc-tion of “The Night Fairy.”

n Tasty food at reasonableprices can be yours in Olney

There is a quaint, little house inOlney that has been serving a varietyof food since the 1920s. Although ithas changed a bit since it was theCorner Cupboard, the Francis LattieInn and The Anchorage, the OlneyAle House has established itself asone of the best little restaurants inMontgomery County.

Pulling into the parking lot on aSaturday night, the sheer number ofcars tells you all you need to knowabout how good the food is here.Once inside, all of your senses cometo life. The space looks verymuchlike someone turned their grand-mother’s home into a pub. Tables,chairs and stools are packed in alittle too close for my liking, but thehouse only seats 100 people inside.Although it was a busy Saturdaynight, we didn’t have to wait for atable.

One of the first things you’llnotice is the amount of decorationsadorning the walls. Bottles, signs,andmore are hanging around thebar area. Some restaurants put updecorations and forget about them,leaving them covered in dust anddirt. It is obvious the folks at theOlney Ale House take great care tomake sure everything is clean. Eventhe restrooms are spotless.

We started with an appetizerof loaded potato skins. What wedidn’t realize was we’d be gettingfull, Idaho-sized potatoes cut in half.These things were quite large andcovered with cheese and bacon.Which, of course, is never a badthing. They could use a little moreseasoning and the bacon could havebeen a little crispier, but other thanthat, it wasn’t a bad appetizer.

The Olney Ale House claims tohave the best burger in town. Con-sidering they use fresh ground chuckand hand-form the burgers everyday, there’s validity in their state-

ment. While I haven’t tried all of theburgers in Olney, I can say this is onefine burger. A good char on the out-side and cooked perfectly mediumwell inside, the cheddar burger withbacon was succulent, but not greasy.The 8 oz. patty gives you plenty to befilling, yet still allows for the possibil-ity of some dessert later. At $11.50, itruns typical of what you’d pay for abacon cheeseburger if you were go-ing out somewhere.

The special on Saturdays, how-ever, is the rack of St. Louis-styleribs. For $18, you get a full rack, friesand a sweet slaw. During the week,you can get the same thing, but it’s$22.

I liked the fries, which werecrispy and hot. The slawwas tasty,although I needed to add a little salt.The belle of the ball here, though,was the ribs. I’m not sure exactlywhere they found the dinosaur to getthese ribs, but they weremassive.They’re also smoked in-house forfour to six hours, according to ourserver.

They give you a knife to use onthe ribs, and you do need it. Themeat is delicious and the smoky

Come for the ribs, stay forthe pie at Olney Ale House

IN THE ARTSteresting process of finding thecorrectmiddle ground.”

Despite being a mostlyfemale cast of mostly animalcharacters, young children ofall ages and genders — andthe adults accompanying them— should be able to relate toFlory’s experience surviving onher own and learning to forge anew path for herself.

“They represent a kaleido-scopic range of human expe-rience,” said director JeremySkidmore. “There’s threadsin each of them where if youtwined them together theywouldmake up you.”

“The Night Fairy” alsoaims to shatter preconceivednotions of what a fairy shouldbe. Compared to the typicaldepictions of the tiny wingedcreatures, the play’s portrayalof Flory is empowering and in-spiring to young girls.

“There are all of these ideasof what a fairy is supposed tolook like,” said Weaver. “Youhave Tinker Bell images, andyoung girls get to see this char-acter come to life who is notabout pretty in pink and tutusand things like that, but moreabout an actual young womanhaving to toughen up and let-tingdownher guardand lettingothers help her.”

“Fairies are usually beauti-ful, feminine, stylish, and I’mincombatbootswith very shortblue hair,” Shearer added. “Ilove that celebration of whoyou are and how you go aboutbeing the thing youare. It’s em-powering as aperson, it’s anicereminder that you canwear thepants and sweatshirt and notbe into make-up and still be awoman in the world.”

While the play is likelymost appreciated by youngerchildren, viewers of all ages aresure to be amazed by the stun-ning scenery— raved about byseveralmembers of the cast.

“If you walked into the the-ater right now youwould neverguess it was for a children’splay,” said Weaver, “there’s anelegance to it that’s breathtak-ing. It honors everyone, and Ithink will invite everyone in.”

Young or old, girl or boy,many who see “The NightFairy” are likely to leave thetheater reflecting on the newexperiences they’ve had in life,andappreciating the surround-ingarea,much likeFlorybeginsto embrace the daytime.

“I think it’s a charming re-minder ofwhat it’s like to expe-rience something for the firsttime, and the wonder of all thethings that are around you,”Skidmore said. “Even in D.C.,how beautiful the architectureis, you become immune. A lotof this piece is about beinggrateful and taking in all thewonderful crazy things aroundyou.”

goodness comes through witheach bite, even though theribs are covered in barbecuesauce. I was able to bring halfa rack homewithme becauseI just couldn’t eat it all.

Finally, a treat for theevening. The Olney Ale Housemakes fresh, homemade keylime pie. Although the $6 pricetag seems a little much for theslice we got, the tastemade ittotally worth it. The pie wasright on the cusp of being tootart, but in a good way. Theicing drizzled on top helped tosweeten the experience. Thegraham cracker crust was de-lectable as well.

The servers were ex-tremely nice, however, with itbeing a busy night, there weretimes we had to wait for refills.Also, with it being a busy Sat-urday night, it was incrediblynoisy— to the point where Ifelt like I had to yell for peopleto hearme.

I’m not really sure if I’dsay the Olney Ale House is

family friendly, though. Withthe cramped quarters andloud, pub-style atmosphere,it might be tough if you havelittle ones. Plus, I was discour-aged to see a sticker on themen’s bathroom door with aword on it you probably don’twant your children asking youabout.

The only other thing thatshould be addressed is the

parking lot. There are no lightsin the parking lot and it goesback a little ways. I’m suresomemore lighting wouldmake everyone feel safer.

Overall, the Olney AleHouse should come highlyrecommended. It’s definitelyworth a drive to the littlehouse with the big flavors.

n Stalwart Barons’ defenders move toprovide physicality in offensive third

BY JENNIFER BEEKMANSTAFF WRITER

Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School seniors De-nali Minnick and Rachel Cady have been twoof the girls soccer team’s most reliable players,

rarely needing a break from their post along one ofthe county’s stingiest backlines. But in B-CC’s firstgame of 2014, a 4-1 victory over Bishop Ireton out ofthe competitive Washington Catholic Athletic Confer-ence, the two found themselves losing steam less thanmidway through the first half.

This fall, Minnick and Cady have taken over B-CC’sfront line, and playing the position of forward requiresa completely different type of fitness, coach Rob Kurtzsaid.

“[At forward] you need to pace yourself,” Kurtzsaid. “At [outside defender] you can run [wheneveryou need to] because you have a lot of down time. Atforward, there’s not a lot of down time. Now, they’regiving us 27, 28 straight minutes in the first half.Against Ireton it was like, 17, 18.”

Kurtz first approached Minnick and Cady about

the move at the end of last season, the first in whichthe six-time state champion Barons failed to makeat least the state final in six years — they won fourstraight championships from 2008-11. The reason, hesaid, was twofold: It would help them increase theirversatility as they prepare for college soccer and itwould provide B-CCwithmore physicality and amoredominant presence in the offensive third.

Minnick is verbally committed to play for the de-fending NCAA Division III national champion Wil-liam Smith College in New York, Cady is still in thedecision-making process. The two were already es-tablished as multifaceted players.

In the mid- to late-2000s, B-CC (6-1), which is his-torically one of the county’s most technically savvysquads, was propelled by some of the area’s most pro-lific goal scorers. Recently, however, scoring hasn’tcome so easily. B-CC has had some playmakers, butno one whose first instinct has been to score — so farthe Barons have been pretty successful pulling out alot of smaller margin wins.

Playing with their backs to the goal rather thanwith the entire field ahead of them has been an ad-justment for Minnick and Cady, who also have more

BY JOHNHARRIS IIISPECIAL TO THE GAZETTE

Both host Poolesville and visitingWalter Johnson high schools improvedtheir respective overall performancesfrom the week before in yesterday’snon-league football clash.

Reeling from its first loss of theseason against South Hagerstown lastweek (34-14), Poolesville came backhome to ground out a 21-0 victoryagainst the Wildcats from Bethesda onFridaynight.While theWJoffense failedto score against theFalcons, themarginof its losswasnot lost on coachwinningcoach Will Gant, especially after beingswamped by Richard Montgomery onSept. 19, 45-7.

“We watched them on film lastweek and they turned the ball overthree or four times early,” Gant said.“You do that and all of a sudden youare down 21, 27 to nothing in the firstquarter. This week, I think they cleanedit up. They had some late turnovers butfor the most part they took care of theball and they were very competitive. Ithought [Walter Johnson] playedwell.”

In methodical fashion, Poolesville(3-1) ground a game Wildcat defenseinto submission in its first drive, with-out even scoring. An opening 15-play,66-yard drive came up empty whenkicker Kevin Rakov missed a 32-yardfield goal wide left. However, after aWJthree downs and out, the Falcons capi-talizedonaworndefense twoplays intotheir next drive on a 16-yard run by se-nior Nic Fisher, as Rakov’s first of threeextra point kicks gave the hosts a 7-0advantage.

In the second quarter, Poolesvillewent on 20-play 81-yard drive thatendedwith 1:15 left in the first half on a1-yard sneakby senior quarterback Ste-venMorningstar. Thedrive ateupmorethan 9 minutes of the second quarter.Morningstar finished the game com-pleting 10 of 11 passes for 123 yards,and a 10-yard touchdown to fellowsenior Sean Parker (four catches, 62yards) to give the Falcons a 21-0 advan-tage with 9:23 left in the third quarter.Joel Hessels also caught four passes for54 yards.

n Montgomery Collegesophomore overcomes late

start, becomes top goalkeeper

BY KENT ZAKOURSTAFF WRITER

Four years ago, Bogdan Svitin saidhe had never really considered takingsoccer seriously. Sure, the Ukrainiannative had kicked the ball aroundwith friends, but he wasmore focusedon tennis and karate.

But when he turned 15, Svitinbecame enamored with the world’smost popular sport. And now at 19,the sophomore is the No. 1 goal-keeper for the Montgomery Collegemen’s soccer team.

“When I was a kid, I didn’t reallycare and it was just something to do,”Svitin said witha heavy EasternEuropean ac-cent during aninterview Fridayafternoon. “But,I don’t know,when I turned15 or 16, takingsoccer for realreally became agoal.”

When Svitinwas 16, he, along with his parents,decided to pursue better academicand soccer-playing opportunities. So,Svitin and his family moved from theUkraine to Rockville and he enrolledas a junior at Walter Johnson HighSchool.

But for the next year and a half,Svitin, who briefly played low-levelclub soccer in the Ukraine, did notplay organized soccer. He was ableto train, however, he said, with theBethesda Soccer Club.

“Starting at 15-years old is kind oflate,” Svitin said. “It was very difficultgetting the skills because you have tocatch up with players your age thathave far more advanced skills.”After graduating from WJ, Svitinwas determined to play college soc-cer. Following a little research anddiscussions with friends, he con-nected with Montgomery Collegecoach Pedro Braz, who offered him atryout.

“I told him nothing was guaran-teed, but we recognized very quicklyhis natural talent andattributes,” Braz

n Junior more than doublesseason total with 161 rushing

yards against Gonzaga

BY JENNIFER BEEKMANSTAFF WRITER

On a play early in the fourth quar-ter of the Our Lady of Good Coun-sel High School football team’s 17-7victory against Gonzaga Saturday atCoolidge in Washington, D.C., Falconsjunior running back Jonathan Lee washit hard before he even got back to theline of scrimmage. One of his cleats waslost — it went flying into the backfield— but Lee was barely fazed. Instead,he quickly changed directions and with

just one shoe, produced a 9-yard runout of seemingly nothing.

“[Lee] never goes down on the firsthit, it seems,” Good Counsel juniorquarterback Andres Castillo said. “He’sso strong and resilient. He’s a powerfulrunner and of course has the speed.”

Against the No. 9-ranked team inthe country (MaxPreps), Lee more thandoubled his season total with 161 yardsrushing and scored his third touchdownof the year.

“[Lee] looked like a major back [Sat-urday],” Good Counsel coach Bob Mil-loy said.

The Falcons (4-1) relied more heav-ily on Lee and their ground game Satur-day, Milloy said, as Castillo only beganthrowing on Thursday for the first timein a week after straining his shoul-

der. But Lee’s production did open upseveral opportunities for Castillo toshowcase his arm and connect withhis receivers. He completed 10 of 13pass attempts for 115 yards; Keon Payecaught seven of them for 89 yards and atouchdown.

Milloy, Castillo and Lee werequick to credit the improved play of ayoung offensive line, led by 6-foot-0,245-pound junior Ike Schurman andsophomore Branden Johnson (6-0, 300),with Saturday’s scoring numbers. Andthat is just what the Falcons needed af-ter a 20-0 shutout loss to Gilman Sept.19, during which Good Counsel nevermade it across midfield.

“Last week we went up to Baltimoreand we got embarrassed, [Gilman] beatthe living tar out of us,” Milloy said. “We

really pushed the kids this week andthey responded. I told them before thegame, ‘Regardless of the outcome, I justwant to see if you guys are going to quitor you’re still with us.’ I got my answer.”

It was the Eagles who scored firstSaturday, less than six minutes into thegame, on Nick Johns’ 17-yard pass toReggie Corbin. Castillo’s 3-yard pass toPaye in the fifth minute of the secondquarter tied the contest and the youngFalcons’ offense seemed to glean muchconfidence from the score — knowingthe defense, led by Virginia Tech recruitDarius Fullwood, has been tough allseason.

“As an offensive group, we got ev-eryone on the sideline and said it was

become a leader,” Gant said.“He throws a really good balland he keeps taking anotherstep each week in being a bet-ter quarterback. He’s beenrunning the ball a lot the firstcouple of games and now he’sstarting to throw a lot. He’s re-ally become a threat [to pass].”

Parker added, “[Morn-ingstar] is an excellent quar-terback. We both know eachother well from playing bas-ketball, so he knows how to

throw the ball to me. I thinkwe have good chemistry to-gether, and I think it translateson the [football] field becausewe know each other. We havea good bond. “

Defensively, the Falconskept WJ quarterbacks KedarRollins and Ben Lake on therun, collecting four sacks, in-cluding two by Rutgers Uni-versity recruit John Bateky.

The Falcons also racked upthree interceptions, as Parker,Fisher and Jonathan Garagiolapicked off a pass each.

“I think we did well de-fensively,” Parker said. “We

stopped them on the 15-yardline and we didn’t let themscore a touchdown [all game].We put up a zero on the score-board, so I think we did reallygood.”

Walter Johnson coach GregKellner spoke glowingly of histeam’s effort despite the 0-4record.

“We had the best week ofpractice thus far this year,”Kellner said. “We still havesome offensive turnovers toovercome, but we’re gettingthere, one day at a time. We’vegot to work on ourmental mis-takes because they will kill you

in this game. And if one guy isoff out of the 11, bad things canhappen. The scoreboard didn’tshow it, but the kids playedwell. They played hard.”

The Wildcats also madefour sacks, as seniors DeVonteRue and James Rorie, alongwith sophomores AlexanderBayone and Brent Haines hada sack each.

WJ hopes to build off ofits play in next week’s homematchup against Magruder.

“It’s another short week[of practice], but we’ll keepgrinding and working hard,starting tomorrow,” Kellner

said. “With the coaching staffover at Magruder, I know thatthey are very well coached.We’ve got to go home and startwatching film.”

Poolesville has a score tosettle with Catoctin, after lastyear’s 28-0 loss. This year, theFalcons will host the Cougarsof Frederick County.

“They were up 14-0 in thethird quarter and we had theball on the goal line and al-most scored, then they kindof broke us late in the game,”Gant said. “[For the] last threeyears we’ve played Catoctin ithas been very competitive. We

beat them the first two years,one on a goal-line stand andthe other we scored with aboutaminute left in the game so it’sbeen very competitive. I thinkwe are two evenly matched[programs].

“They are very physical,and they tend to have some bigkids. They’ve lost to some goodteams this year. And we knowthat Frederick County playerssome very good football. It’s adifferent animal when you getup that way. It’s really goodfootball so we’re going to haveto be ready.”

said. “He wasn’t really pol-ished and his technique wasrough.We knewwe could workwith him and he’s a prettygood goalie now. It is night andday from this year to last.

“He’s put a lot of work inand done a lot of it on his own.… It has all paid off and Bog-dan is the most improved guyon our team.”

Added Svitin: “I graduatedfrom high school and wasn’tsure about my future, but Ilearned about MC and figuredthis would be a good place todevelop before I go — hope-fully — to a four-year school.”

The sixth-ranked Raptors,who won the Region XX tour-nament last fall and finishedfourth at the National JuniorCollege Athletic AssociationDivision III national tourna-ment, are in the midst of astrong season (9-2-1) onceagain.

And the 6-foot-2 sopho-more is a key component. Af-ter splitting the goalkeepingduties in 2013, Svitin has ex-celled this fall (6-2-1 record,1.75 goals-against average,.833 save percentage) in 462minutes played.

Svitin is quick to deflect thecredit for his success, opting topoint to the play of the defend-

ers in front of him, including5-foot-9 sophomore BrandonMcKoy.

“Brandon McKoy is a greatdefender,” said Svitin, whoinitially played in the field be-fore finding his niche in goal.“He makes my life better andall those guys make my job

much easier; like 50 percent ofmy success is due to playing ateam game.”

Svitin, who is planning tostudy physical therapy, hopesto transfer to a four-year col-lege next summer.

But until then, he justwants to help the Raptors win

a national title.“All that matters is winning

and playing our best in thepostseason,” Svitin said. “Wehave to work hard and don’tdo anything stupid to mess itup.”

freedom with the ball attheir feet now that they’renot B-CC’s last line of de-fense looking to clear it outof their territory, they said.But they’re embracing theconcept that no shot is abad one, they said. And theintelligent players said theyhave been able to draw upontheir experience watchingthe team’s previous forwardsfrom the defense. And if theBarons lose the ball up top,they have two stalwart de-fenders as their first line ofprotection. Kurtz also alwayshas the option of movingthem back, like he did withMinnick in the Barons’ sur-prising 2-1, overtime loss toDamascus a week ago.

Crafty junior playmakerPaula Germino-Watnick iscurrently the team’s leadingscorer with three of the Bar-ons’ 12 goals. Minnick hasscored twice and come closeto many others and Cadyseems to be on the verge of abreakout, Kurtz said. Thoughthe two admitted they cansometimes feel the pressureof expectations to score asforwards, scoring numbersare by no means the only in-dicator of just how effectivethese two have been in their

new position, Kurtz said. Themove has allowed for B-CC,which historically played aslower-paced, 25 passes toget to midfield, type of game,to blend that type of techni-cal skill with a more aggres-sive approach. And whetheror not Minnick and Cady willend up leading the team inscoring, the pressure they’veput on opposing defenseshas worn teams down andopened up opportunitiesfor others to take advantageof, Kurtz said. Speedy for-wards Lauren Applequist andTirhas Dempsey and strongmidfielder Claire Hagertyeach have two goals apiece.

B-CC is creating a lotmore scoring chances thesedays. It’s only a matter oftime, it seems, before theshots off the crossbar andposts find the net.

“Possession is good butpossession with no chancesis wasted,” Kurtz said. “We’retrying to createmore chancesand so far so good. With thisgroup [of players] we haveso much talent and manipu-lation. Denali and Rachelare completely out of posi-tion and in new waters andthey’re doing great. I’m ex-cited to see where they are insix games or, hopefully, 10.”

turn it up right now and that’swhat we did. ... Everyone saidthat our offense and our linecouldn’t move the ball, but wedid [Saturday] and we got thewin because of it. I’m just soproud of my guys for gettingafter it and getting this win.”

Good Counsel scored on theopening series of the secondhalf on Lee’s 33-yard run. Witha 14-7 lead, the Falcons had theball on the 2-yard line minuteslater, but a fumble pushed theball back and Good Counselwent for a field goal instead —

James Evans converted the 21-yard attempt.In on his third game as GoodCounsel’s No. 1 running option,Lee proved he can work underbig-game pressure.Things won’t get easier againstWashington Catholic Athletic

Conference rival DeMathaCatholic Friday, but Saturdaywas a big step in the right direc-tion for a young team, Milloysaid.“Last year I ran behind threegreat running backs and theytaught me a lot,” Lee said. “I’m

just grateful to be in the posi-tion I am now. ... I worked re-ally hard this summer to makesure no one person can tackleme.”

Bethesda-ChevyChaseHighSchool’s home football gameagainst Germantown’s Seneca Val-ley last Fridaywas aboutmore thanjust two football teamsplaying agame.

It also turned out to be an op-portunity for people to help thecause of community organization‘AWider Circle.’

AWider Circle is a groupbasedout of Silver Springwith a goal ofending poverty. It provides a bevyof services for people in need,including home furnishing andeducational programming in jobpreparedness.

Throughout last week, B-CCaccepted donations onbehalf of AWider Circle, and at the gameonFriday, the organization had a tableset-upwhere they shared informa-tion and accepted volunteers.

“Last spring, the CEO/founderof the organization,Mark Bergel,talked to the team and they de-cided they wanted to partner withthe organization as a charitablegroup that wework with through-out the year,” B-CC coach JoshSinger said. “Over the summer, theboys went and spent about sevenhours in their warehousemovingfurniture around, helping themout. Andwe’re going to work to dosomething with them each seasonof the year.”

“I think we always look forwardto playing these top teams,” Geisersaid.

Sylvie Rosenwald, a junior forGood Counsel, spent her first twoseasons at Holy Cross before trans-ferring to the Olney-area schoolthis summer. “It will be differentseeing Sylvie in a Good Counseluniform,” Geiser said with a laugh.“There’s absolutely no bad feelingsthere at all, it just adds anothertwist to the matchup.”

Watkins Mill givesPoolesville a scare

Sitting at 5-1 and headinginto a tough stretch of schedule,the Poolesville High School girlsvolleyball team got just what itneeded in a 3-2 victory againstWatkins Mill on Sept. 19, Falconscoach Fran DuVall said. Aftertaking the first two games fromthe Wolverines, Poolesville “letdown [their] guard”, according toDuVall.

Watkins Mill jumped at the op-portunity, rallying to win the nexttwo games before falling to thevisiting team. “It’s always in themiddle of the season that’s tough,”DuVall said. “If we have any kindof chance in the postseason, weneed to be pushed around some.Watkins Mill did that to us.”

Magruder gets aweekend off

With homecoming last week,Col. Zadok Magruder High Schoolcoach Scott Zanni took a look athis team and decided a weekendoff was in order. The three days ofrest could do wonders for a teamthat has battled injuries since thestart of the season. Senior liberoCaitlyn Trickey is recovering from anumber of various nicks, while out-side hitter Hannah Barr, sidelinedfor the past few weeks after kneesurgery, is working her way backtowards being match ready. Thesenior has begun practicing andis eyeing a return this week after alengthy and irritating absence.

“She was pretty frustrated,”Zanni said of Barr. “But she’sstayed pretty positive throughoutthis. She’s been at practice helpingout and on the bench at games.She’ll give us some balance at thefront of the net when she returns.”

“At the beginning of the sea-

son we had two goals,” coachCliff Elgin said. “We wanted towin our division and qualify forstates as a team. We’ve doneone of those things. It was a neatthing for the kids to experience.”

Clarksburg wins first golf division title

Whitman High School boys soccer coach DaveGreene was concerned about his team after an un-impressive preseason, he said. But a fast start (5-1-1as of Monday) has the 36th-year coach feeling goodabout the Vikings half way through the 2014 season.

The Bethesda school has fared well against a dif-ficult schedule and defeated competitive Montgom-ery County schools including Gaithersburg, QuinceOrchard, Watkins Mill and Northwest. Their 4-1 lossto Albert Einstein (Kensington) on Saturday wastheir first of the season.

“They have a very good demeanor to them.They’re not too up, too down, one way or another,”

Watkins Mill getting healthyThe Watkins Mill High School boys soccer team

has had injuries to just about every position, whichcontributed to a slow start to the 2014 season.

But seven games in, the once decimated Wol-verines (4-3-1) are returning to form — and gettinghealthy — winning three of their past four games.

Center back Edem Yevoo, midfielder AlecVan Bronkhorst and defender Ross Campbellhave stepped up in the absence of injured playersGianfranco Castillo (back) and Jojo Cann (ACL),while midfielder Daniel Juresic (concussion) andgoalkeeper Jorge Galvez (hand) are back in the lineup.Juresic and Eli Kouemi scored in Monday’s 2-1 victory

over Rockville.“We’re improving every day,” coach Jeff Heckert

said “… We’re finally turning it around.”

Freshman leads DamascusHe’s 5-foot-4, and had never played a varsity game

before this season. But lack of height and experiencehaven’t stopped freshman Carlos Guevara from mak-ing an immediate impact on the Damascus HighSchool boys soccer team. The outside midfielder hasfive goals — including two in Monday’s 3-1 victoryover Poolesville — to lead the Swarmin’ Hornets inscoring.

“Carlos just knows the game. He plays at a veryhigh level,” sixth-year coach Andre Wise said. “... Asmuch as I’m teaching him, he’s teaching me.”

Guevara, who plays for the Pachuca FC, has ledDamascus to a 3-4-1 start. The team is on pace to sur-pass its five-win total from 2013.

“We’re playing good soccer at this point and we’rejust looking to get better each week,” Wise said.

Churchill rights the shipOne game was enough to convince Winston

Churchill High School boys soccer coach ArnoldTarzy that the lineup wasn’t working. So after theseason opener — a 5-2 loss to Georgetown Prep —he had the center forward and center defensive mid-fielder swap positions. The result: four wins, two ties,one loss, and a lot of defense.

With junior Sepehr Hoghooghi moving to for-ward, and 6-foot-2 senior Joey Strawn now play-

ing defensive midfield, the Bulldogs (4-2-2) have“righted the ship,” Tarzy said. The Potomac schoolhas four shut outs and allowed four goals in theseven games since shaking up the lineup.

“I feel very good about winning any game weplay in now,” Tarzy said.

Greene said. “[They] play hard and they play avery attractive brand of soccer.”

Whitman gets hot but stays in the right demeanor

Locked in a scoreless tie with Indepen-dent School League upper division powerGeorgetown Day School in its third gameof the season, the Stone Ridge School of theSacred Heart (4-1-1) girls soccer team wasawarded a penalty kick.

“Everyone was just standing aroundand I’m like, ‘Great, we’re not going toscore because no one is going to take thispenalty kick,’” Gators coach Kati Jo Spisaksaid.

Then an unassuming freshman strikernamed Tatiana Ortega picked the ball upand placed it on the designated spot. Herfirst high school varsity goal was the gamewinner. Her skill has added a new dimen-sion in the Bethesda school’s offensivethird; six games into the season Ortegapaces the team with seven goals. Five ofthem came in last week’s 6-2 win over ISL“A” Division foe St. Andrew’s — Ortega alsoforced the Gators’ sixth goal, Spisak said.

“She has the capability of taking overa game, of taking over the league,” Spisaksaid. “She’s just one of those players who isnatural. She really knows how to read thegame and how to set herself up in positionsto get the ball and obviously to finish. Butshe’s also very humble and quiet.”

Covenant Life paircombine for 24 goals

Senior forward Claire Couturier andsophomore midfielder Olivia Bronson havescored 12 goals apiece in just eight gamesfor the Covenant Life girls soccer team.That has helped the Cougars to a 7-1 start,outscoring their opponents, 46-11. Bron-son is also tied with Anne Jekel for a team-high eight assists.

A total of 12 players have contributed atleast one goal for the Gaithersburg privateschool, which is 5-0 in Potomac ValleyAthletic Conference play, early this falland six of them have three goals or more.Francheska Risos and Abigail Rashford aresecond on the team in scoring with fourgoals each.

Clarksburg gears upfor division play

The Coyotes are off to a 4-1 start andwhile those wins have come against me-diocre teams, a slightly easier scheduleearly could have been just what Clarksburgneeded to transition to a new system underfirst-year coach Christina Mann. The team

seems to be finding its identity as it headsinto the division portion of its schedule.

“I think we’ve taken care of businessand done what we need to do so far,” Mannsaid. “[Upcoming] challenges will show uswhat we’re made of.”

While sticking to Clarksburg’s traditionof playing out of the back, Mann said theCoyotes are also employing a slightly moreaggressive approach than recent historythanks to a strong midfield. Leah Brown,Vanessa Taffo, who is currently sidelinedwith an injury, Stephanie Kim and HollyWilson, in the middle have helped Clarks-burg dominate possession in most of itsgames so far, Mann said. Gillian Donovanleads the team with three goals.

Paint Branch defender makes re-turn from ACL injury

After a promising freshman campaign,current Paint Branch junior defender GracePadgett sat out most of her sophomoreseason a year ago with a torn anterior cruci-ate ligament. Cleared to play this summer,the central defender has worked hard to getherself back into game shape. And she hasimmediately made known her presenceon a backline that often finds itself underpressure.

“[Padgett] has really been holding ourback line,” first-year Panthers coach CarlosMontalvan said. “She has a lot of soccerminutes under her belt. When it looks likeits about to break down, she steps in anddistributes well.”

Though Paint Branch (2-5) has onlywon two games, the young backline has

only given up an average of two goalsper game. Scoring, however, has beenan issue as the Panthers have only net-ted six goals. Padgett accounts for one ofthem out of the back.

Sherwood’s sisterhoodSherwood junior Ariella Amaguana

has been an integral part of the Warriorsmidfield for three years now but thereserved athlete has found an entirelynew level this fall. And Rosanova saidshe believes it has a lot to do with the ar-rival of her younger sister Michella, whohas played a vital role on Sherwood’sbackline. The elder Amaguana is tiedwith classmate Danielle Rohrman as theteam’s leading scorer with three goals.Michella Amaguana has also contrib-uted a goal.

“Ariella has played almost everysingle minute of every game and shestarted every single game last year,”Rosanova said. “I think it’s helpedhaving her sister, it’s helped build herconfidence and comfort level on theteam. She’s really matured as a player,especially her decision making.”

The Amaguana’s are one of two setsof sisters on the team. The speed andathleticism of senior twin sisters Laurenand Tiffany Woods has been the cor-nerstone of the program for four years.Sherwood is currently 4-4 but in goodposition to compete for the Montgom-ery 4A North Division.

Sherwood football spices up entranceEver since Sherwood High School football coach

Chris Grier arrived at the Sandy Spring school, hesaid, he wanted to do something special for the War-riors pre-game entrance, but he wasn’t sure exactlywhat. That is until he came across the inflatable Sher-wood helmet/tunnel the team is scheduled to run outof prior to its Oct. 31 homecoming game against PaintBranch.

“We gave it to the kids as an incentive to do theirfundraising and to keep working out hard,” Grier said.“They earned it.” Grier also noted that the tunnel por-tion of the inflatable detaches from the helmet, andcan potentially be used for other Sherwood athleticevents in the future.
