A-3 n Change in ordinance would align Rockville’s standards with county’s BY RYAN MARSHALL STAFF WRITER A proposal to change a rela- tively obscure law known as the Adequate Public Facilities Ordi- nance is generating more than its fair share of heat in Rockville. More than 50 people braved Monday night’s snow to speak at a second hearing on the topic, af- ter 36 people testified at the initial Jan. 5 hearing. A vote by the mayor and City Council is set for Feb. 9 on the controversial plan to change Rockville’s system for determin- ing how development affects school growth. The proposal would change Rockville’s adequate public facili- ties standards for when a school is at full capacity from the current 110 percent of program capacity to 120 percent, as well as averag- ing capacity of schools by clus- ters rather considering individual schools. Both changes would align the city with Montgomery County’s standards for determining school capacity. The current lower threshold prevents more school overcrowd- ing, say its proponents. Advo- cates for a change say it hasn’t stopped overcrowding and only impedes the city’s economic de- velopment. The proposal also would use the county’s system of projecting capacity five years after a proj- ect is approved, rather than in the first two years of approval as the city does, and reserve capac- ity when a project is applied for rather than when a project is ap- proved. Victoria McMullen, a retired Montgomery County Public Schools teacher, said the county’s idea that the “new normal” of 120 percent is acceptable is “objec- tionable in itself.” A 120 percent standard will actually mask overcrowding of 130 percent or more because cluster averaging waters down statistics to make schools look less overcrowded than they really are, McMullen said. In addition, five-year aver- aging allows underestimation of crowding by counting schools years before they’re funded or built, she said. “Out-of-control residential development will result in a ca- tastrophe for our schools and our children’s future,” McMullen said. Gene Thirolf, a former presi- dent of the Beall Elementary, Julius West Middle and Richard Montgomery High School parent teacher student associations, said weakening the ordinance would damage the city’s credibility with the school system, county execu- tive and County Council. The differences between the city and county positions aren’t that great, Thirolf said. “But those differences make City residents sound off on growth, schools TOM FEDOR/THE GAZETTE Marshall Adams works Friday on his mural on 275 North Washington, a two-story office and retail building that developer JBG Cos. of Chevy Chase is build- ing in Rockville Town Center.

n Sherwood senior surprisedto learn of acceptance
to University of Maryland
BY TERRIHOGANSTAFFWRITER
Rachel Post of Olney is like mosthigh school seniors who anxiouslyawait notifications from college admis-sions offices to show up online or intheirmailboxes.
And even though that didn’t hap-pen Sunday, the 17-year-old student atSherwoodHigh School in Sandy Springgot something even better: an in-per-son, prize-patrol style notification thatshehadbeenaccepted to theUniversityofMaryland, College Park.
Her mother, Lori Post, said she hadreceived a phone call a couple of weeksago from the university’s admissionsdepartment, notifying her that herdaughter had been accepted.
“They told me they had decided topick six students to notify in person,and she had been selected becausesomething had stood out in her appli-cation,” she said.
They asked her to keep it a secret,whichwasdifficult, especiallywhenherdaughter would question whether shewas going to get into her top choices.
To make sure Rachel was up anddressed, her mother made arrange-ments with a friend to take her out tobreakfast Sunday. The friend knew asurprise was in store, but didn’t knowwhat it was.
After she had returned home, alarge University of Maryland bus rolledup, and out rolled members of the ad-missions team, the school’s mascot,Testudo, and afilmcrew, all deckedoutinMaryland gear.
“I was sitting on the couch withmyfriend and my grandmother, and thedoorbell rang. My mom called me tothe door and there was the director ofadmissions and Testudo,” Rachel said.“I went to the door and thought, ‘TheUniversity ofMaryland is atmy door.’”
She said she was shocked and notsure how to react, as she stood in the
doorwaywearingmismatched socks.“The director of admissions is
handing me my acceptance letter, andI just couldn’t believe thatwas happen-ing, especially at such abig school,” shesaid. “I wasn’t sure if I should laugh orcry.”
The celebration continued as thefamily — Rachel, parents Lori andAlan, her grandmother Shirley Marcusand brother Matthew — went outsideto take photos. Neighbors, curious tosee what was going on, joined the im-promptu party.
“My grandmother is 93 years old,and she was in on the surprise,” Rachelsaid. “She said it was one of the bestdays of her life.”
It wasn’t until she got back insideand opened the envelope that Rachellearned that she had been accepted tothe honors program. She is still waitingto hear from some other schools, butsaidMaryland is at the top of her list.
“This reallymakes it hard to say no,especially since I got into the honorscollege,” she said. “This was so special;
getting something in themail or in yourinbox will never compare to this. It wasextraordinary.”
Rachel hasn’t decided on a major,but is considering government andpolitics.
This was the first year the admis-sions team has taken its show on theroad to notify accepted students.
ShannonGundy, director of admis-sions, said college officials get to meetstudents at various stages throughoutthe admission process and spend a lotof timewith themwhen they’re anxiousabout their outcomes.
“Unfortunately, during the deci-sion release process we’ve never had achance to see the outcome and expe-rience the emotion that comes alongwith being offered admission,” Gundysaid. “When students apply, we spendlots of time individually reviewing thou-sands of applications, and making ad-missions decisions about the incomingclass. So, this year we decided that afterall our effortwewanted towitness reac-tions of these students and their fami-lies in person, and share that with thewider community.”
Gundy said the six students werechosen in part because of logistics, butmore importantly because they wererepresentative of the spirit and poten-tial of the entire incoming class.
“Because we think that all of thestudents we admit are great, it was easyto be pretty random in our selection ofstudents that were in close proximity oftheuniversity thatwecould reach in thelimited timewehadavailable,” she said.“Because of the kinds of students weadmit, we knew that Rachel was strongacademically and was involved outsideof the classroom. She is a great exampleof what we look for in a Maryland stu-dent — smart, passionate, interesting,resilient and fearless.”
Rachel said that when she arrivedat high schoolMonday, the news of heracceptance had already spread.
“I don’t have Twitter, but everyoneelse does, and had already seen it onthere,” she said.

n Residents, utility clash overneed to protect property line
BY KATE S. ALEXANDERSTAFFWRITER
StateSen.BrianJ.Feldmanisconsid-ering introducing legislation that wouldcurtail utility tree-cutting.
Feldman (D-Dist. 15) of Potomacsaid the recent uptick in tree cutting inhis district has him considering a way toaddress the issue.
“Trying to find a legislative responseis, in all candor, complicated,” Feldmansaid.
Residents have complained aboutPepco cutting and removing trees ontheir properties. The utility says it has a1959 agreement that gives it the right to
cut or remove trees within 75 feet of itsproperty line.
While residents have askedFeldmanfor a bill to prevent Pepco from beingoverly aggressive in cutting or remov-ing trees, anything he would introducewould apply tomore than just Pepco.
“This would be a statewide bill. Itwould impact all the utilities,” he said.
The utility has come under fire foraggressively cutting trees after years ofbarelymanaging vegetation.
Ina statement toTheGazette, Pepcosaid its tree-cutting program is “criticalto the delivery of safe and reliable elec-tric service to tens of thousands of ourcustomers, including schools andpublicsafety, public health and other criticalfacilities.”
In August, a group of Potomac resi-dents sued Pepco after workers marked
trees on private property for removal.The residents asked MontgomeryCounty Circuit Court to prevent the cut-ting until a full hearing could be held onthe issue.
The residents said they understoodPepco’s need to cut trees, but argued theutilitywasbeingtooaggressive inremov-ing certain trees. The residents lost thatcase.
Since then, other property ownershave had similar run-ins with Pepco asit continues to remove trees along theswathof land.
Jim Galvin, who lives on AldersgateRoad, experienced a similar problemwithPepco in lateDecember.
Initially, Galvin said he and hisneighbors planned to protest and standbetween Pepco and their trees. Ulti-mately, they relented, and Pepco cut the
trees as planned.Like the residents who sued Pepco,
Galvinsaidhewasconcernedabouthowthe lostorcut treeswouldaffecthisprop-erty value.
Pepcosaid thestate regulationswerewhy it needed to cut the trees and the1959 agreement gave it authority to doso,Galvin said.
Fighting the utility was an ordeal, hesaid.
“It ruined our Christmas,” he said.“Wewereouthavingmeetings,worryingabout it, typing letters and emailing. Welost thatwholeweek.”
Jake Liang, one of the property own-ers who sued Pepco, said at the time ofthehearing in thecase that theonlysolu-tion for residents might be state legisla-tion.
Feldman said he is working with
CouncilmanRogerBerliner (D-Dist. 1)ofBethesda on a bill, but has not proposedone yet.
“We’vegot tobe smart aboutour ap-proach,” he said.
Feldman authored the 2011 law thatrequired the Public Service Commissionto draft regulations to make the state’selectric utilitiesmore reliable.
Pepco was found to be one of thelowest-performing utilities in the statefor reliability.
Under thenewrules, all electricutili-ties must cut trees so that, in four years,thebrancheswillnotcomewithin15 feetof power lines. If cutting the trees to thatstandard would remove more than 25percent of the tree’s canopy, the regula-tions say the treemust comedown.

n Choice Hotels plansCambria Suites near
downtown headquarters
BY RYANMARSHALLSTAFFWRITER
Workers were still hammer-ing, sawing and digging at theUpton on Friday, but the build-ing in downtown Rockville thatwill combineapartments, ahoteland retail space is still onpace tobe completed and open by earlyApril, according to its builders.
The project will feature 263luxury apartments, about 17,000square feet of retail space and a
140-room Cambria Hotels &Suites, one of the several brandsofChoiceHotels International of
Rockville.The apartment section of
the building should be readyto open by early April, with thehotel in early May, said MarcDubick, president of developerDuball LLC of Reston, Va.
Choice Hotels moved toRockville from Silver Springabout two years, with plans tobuild theCambriaHotels&Suitesnearby. The global hotel fran-chiser’s headquarters had beenin Silver Spring since 1968. TheRockville headquarters buildingwas developed and is owned byFoulger-Pratt Cos. of Rockville.
Lindsay Mason, a ChoiceHotels spokeswoman, said no
opening date has been set forthe hotel.
Dubick said his company isin negotiations with several ten-ants to occupy the retail spaces.
A second phase of the proj-ect, with 400 apartments but nohotel component, is plannednext to the property on what isnow a parking lot a block fromthe RockvilleMetro station.
The hotel will have a pool,fitness center, conference fa-cility and other amenities, saidJohn Segreti, a Duball executive.
A rooftop deck area for theapartment section will featureviews that stretch from Restonand Tysons Corner, Va., to thesouth to Sugarloaf Mountainin the north. The building willencompass three types of archi-tecture: traditional, deco-Gothicandmodern, he said.
The mixture of residential,hotel and retail provided a chal-lenge for planners, but also anopportunity, he said.
In an urban mixed-use, “allthesedifferentuseshave toworktogether,” Segreti said.

n County Council panelto take it up Monday
BY TERRIHOGANSTAFFWRITER
The proposed Sandy SpringRural Village Plan continued itssmooth sailing at a public hear-ing Thursday before the Mont-gomery County Council.
The plan expands in greaterdetail the 1998Master Plan con-cept for Sandy Spring as a ruralvillage center, including recom-mendations for landuse, zoning,environment and design, whileconsidering its rural village char-acter, connections, street char-acter and open space.
Four people testified at thehearing: Planning Board Chair-manCasey Anderson; Perry Ber-man, representing the county’sHousing Opportunities Com-mission; Michael Conklin, rep-resenting the Sandy Spring CivicAssociation; and Sandy Springresident Robin Ziek.
All supported the plan, withZiek offering suggestions thatincluded designating the entirelengthofBentleyRoadasa rusticroad. He also suggested the Ol-ive Branch Community Churchconsider using the adjacentSherwood High School parkinglot rather than remove trees tobuild a new lot; extending theproposed shared-use path fromAshton to Olney; and furtheremphasizing the community’shistory.
Berman described his com-mission’s plans to purchase aparcel adjacent to the 60-unitSandySpringMeadowscommu-nity, which could allow for up tofive additional residential lots.
He said his agency also isdiscussing with other propertyowners ways to solidify the frag-mented ownership to help cre-ate a vibrant village center, thusassisting in thedevelopmentandimplementation of the masterplan.
“The hearing was really un-eventful,” saidKristinO’Connor,lead planner with the countyPlanning Department. “ThePlanning Board hearing wasquick, and so we anticipatedthat this would be quick, as well.Fortunately, there were no sur-prises.”
The council’s Planning,Housing and Economic Devel-opmentCommittee is tentativelyscheduled to review the planMonday.
“If there are any unresolvedquestions, this is when they willbe discussed,” O’Connor said.“This is the ‘roll up your sleevesand get it done’ kind of session.”
While larger plans may re-quire several committee worksessions, O’Connor expectsonly one session will be neededbefore the council votes on theSandy Spring plan.
Once approved, it will go tothe Maryland-National CapitalPark and Planning Commissionand the newly approved zoningwill be implemented.
“By April or May, we an-ticipate the whole thing beinga done deal,” O’Connor said.“Since there are no elephantsin the room, we expect it to gosmoothly. The charrettes weheld last yearwereveryuseful, asthe community helped to createthe final product.”
Members of the SandySpring Civic Association, includ-ingPresident JohnSalzberg, par-ticipated in these communityworkshops and have been in-volved throughout the process.
“We strongly endorse andsupport thisplan,” Salzberg said.
The 1998 Sandy Spring/Ashton Master Plan recognizedthat the details of a new villagecenter concept were beyond itsscope and recommended moredetailed study and analysis todevelop the concept.
This newSandy SpringRuralVillage Plan follows the guid-ance of the 1998 Master Plan.Goals included determininghow to best connect the newfire station into a village centerconcept, pluspreserving the richhistory of the area, designing acivic space and village center,and connecting the communityto the village center.

n Football players fromGaithersburg school helpRockville food nonprofit
BY SAMANTHA SCHMIEDER
STAFFWRITER
The Watkins Mill HighSchool varsity football teamtooktimeoutof theirweekend togiveback by volunteering at NourishNow, a nonprofit food recoveryorganization inRockville.
“Every year we try to do adifferent community serviceproject,” said assistant coachAndrewMele.
This year, Mele wanted tobring the team to a soup kitchenor something along those linesfor their day of service. Then helearned aboutNourishNowandthought itwouldbeperfect.
“Five hundred families in
need come directly to our loca-tion,” saidBrettMeyers, founderand executive director of Nour-ishNow.
Meyers explained that the
organization goes out to restau-rants and catered events and“rescues” already prepared foodthat normally would have beenthrown away. A lot of the food
that is going to be thrown outhas anywhere from two to fivedays before it actually goes bad,according to Meyers, and Nour-ish Now takes it off restaurants’hands and puts it into the handsof someonewhoneeds it.
The teamcameout from1to3 p.m. Saturday and repackagedfood that had been recoveredinto individual meals in carry-out containers. The NourishNow location could only holdabout 15 players, so Mele saidthe rest of the teamwill be goingto volunteer at Nourish Now inthebeginning of February.
The organization recently
surpassed 300,000 pounds offooddonatedaroundthecounty,including their packaged mealsas well as nonperishables thatthey give to families in five-daysupplies.
Meyers said that while therearemanydifferent food recoveryorganizations, therearen’tmanythat collect prepared meals.Nourish Now works in partner-ship with nonprofits around thecounty that help put the food intheir clients’ hands.
“We’re like on-call doctors,butwith food,”Meyers said.

n Cabin John middleschoolers volunteer atSilver Spring nonprofit
BY PEGGY MCEWAN
STAFF WRITER
The students pulled clothesfromboxes, sorting themby sizeand checking to be sure eachitem was free of stains or otherflaws. Others sorted games orbooks, again looking to makesure eachwas ingoodcondition,containing all its parts, and notold andworn looking.
They were from Cabin JohnMiddle School in Potomac andthey were volunteering at AWider Circle in Silver Spring onSaturday.
The nonprofit works to endpoverty, one individual and onefamily at a time. It concentrateson providing home goods tothose who do not have them:furniture, bedding, kitchenwareand other essentials.
The condition of each itemgiven to its clients matters, saidfounder and Executive DirectorMark Bergel.
“If you have had nothing, I
feel you’ve had the worst,” Ber-gel said. “Now you deserve thebest.”
The Cabin John studentshelped by being sure everythingthey put on the shelves was thebest.
Seventh-graders LaurenSherr and Sarah Lininger wereamong the game-sorters in thelower level of A Wider Circle’sCenter for Community Service,where clients schedule appoint-ments to “shop” for their needs.
“I really wanted to help peo-ple out who couldn’t do thingsfor themselves,” Sarah said. “I’mhappy it looks like there is a lotof stuff for people to take.”
Sarah’s attitude is exactlywhat Bergel hopes to foster involunteers. Many come to ful-fill their student service learn-ing hour requirements, buthe wants them to leave with agreater understanding of pov-erty, he said.
“I’ve seen kids come hereto volunteer and their liveschange,” he said. “We want tobe their connection to those inpoverty. They aren’t going tomeet people in poverty. Theywalk away with a different un-derstanding of humanity.”
That lesson was not lost onLauren. At the end of the day,she said she learned that peopledeserve the best, not just any-thing.
For two hours the studentsworked in the chilly workspace.Even when they took a box ofitems up to the showroom theyhad to go outside, the only placewith steps to the main level.Even the parents who drovethem were put to work, usingtheir smartphones to be surebaby strollers, car seats andhighchairs were not on governmentrecall lists.
Jack Sircus, a sixth-grader,came with his whole family:Mother, father, brother and sis-ter all helped, sorting books to-gether and shelving them.
“We just decided we wouldsupport him in his service,” saidhismother, Janna Sircus.
As the student’s volunteertime came to an end, they allmet with Bergel for a debriefingand question-and-answer ses-sion.
“Poverty is our biggest socialproblem,” Bergel said. “Stay in-volved.”

n Teen Track helpsstudents identify issues,
become advocates
BY PEGGY MCEWAN
STAFF WRITER
The Montgomery CountyCommission for Women onSunday held its 35th Women’sLegislative Briefing in Rockville.After 3½ decades of the annualconference, organizers decidedit was time to foster the nextgeneration of female leaders inthe county.
“We really feel like in termsof advocacy we need to be sureour youngwomenaredoingad-vocacy,” said Chandra WalkerHolloway, immediatepastpres-identof thecommission. “Manyof our advocates are aging.”
To that end, the afternoon
conference at the Universitiesat Shady Grove a special TeenTrack to show how the teenscan work as leaders and ad-vocate for issues important tothem.
The gathering, which fea-tured many county lawmak-ers, also included seminars oncommunicating with legislatorsand building support for issues;health care for senior women;getting more women into lead-ership positions; immigrationreform and challenges facingimmigrant women; economicempowerment; and women’shealth and safety.
The commission organizedthe legislative briefing in 1980and, with only one exception,has continued it annually. Ithas grown from an event with12 co-sponsoring organizationsto 83 in 2014 and from about
200participants in1981 tomorethan 700 in 2014.
Numbers for this year’sconference were not available.
About 50 girls took part inthe discussions and workshopsdesigned to help them recog-nize their leadership skills andmap out a plan for bringingissues specific to them to law-makers.
“It’s all about making sureyou girls can make a changein your community,” JessicaSmith from Girls for a Changetold them. “You can do some-thing now.”
Mekala Rajagopol, 15, a stu-dent at Richard MontgomeryHigh School in Rockville, saidshe attended the briefing be-cause she cares about a lot ofissues and wants to make a dif-ference. Especially, she said, sheis working locally with a World
Bank initiative to eliminate ex-treme poverty by 2030.
One thing she learned atTeen Track was to use her bodylanguage to convey confidence.
“Girls need to be more con-fident when they are sayingwhat they think,” she said.
Probably the youngest at-tendees were Nahla and NouraHabona, 10-year-old twinsfrom Silver Spring. The girlsare fourth-graders at Flora M.Singer Elementary School andattended with their mother,Haanan Habeb.
Nourawants tobepresidentof the U.S., Habeb said. “I justwanted them to learn to buildup their confidence.”
She also said that knowingwhat she is doing will help herdaughter keep her dream alive.

Larry Finkelberg, chairmanof the Rockville Chamber ofCommerce, said changing theordinance won’t affect schools orstudents.
But the current standardshave “worked to serve as a mora-torium on growth in the city,” hesaid.
“Without planned, smartgrowth, Rockville simply cannotprosper,” Finkelberg said.
The chamber doesn’t believein “unbridled” growth, he said,“but we do not want to see Rock-ville languish.”
Anne Marie Agnew ofGaithersburg, a member of theRockville chamber, argued thatchanging the standards wouldnot eliminate the role of the city’splanning commission or mayorand council in approving or re-stricting new development.
She said the change won’thurt schoolsor leadto“unbridleddevelopment.”

to involve a more diverse groupof people in the county.
Montgomery County hassuch a wealth of talent, com-munity involvement and lots ofpeople who care deeply aboutthe community, Newman said.
But she said LeadershipMontgomery has grown be-yond anything she would havethought possible, both in thenumber of programs it can offerand the number of people ableto participate.
Newman sees the organi-zation as a sort of communitytrusteeship, nurturing succes-sive generations of community
leaders from the business, po-litical and nonprofit sectors.
“We expect people to giveback,” she said, although theorganization doesn’t tell par-ticipants where or how to do it.
The organization providesa range of programs, from itsoriginal core program to a se-nior leadership program forpeople 55 and older, a youthleadership program for highschool students and a one-dayexecutive program.
This year, for the first time,it’s offering an emerging lead-ers program for people 25 to 35years old, Newman said.
Over the years, the organi-zation has grown financially,too. It had revenues of $711,345in the fiscal year ended June 30,
2013, finishing the year with netassets of $819,637, according toits most recent available tax re-turn. Most of its revenues werefrom contributions, grants andprogram service revenues.
Leadership Montgomerywas a “fantastic leadership ex-perience,” said Laurie Boyer,executive director of RockvilleEconomic Development Inc.
Her participation gave her achance to meet people from dif-ferent areas of the county withwhom she never would havehad the chance to come in con-tact, she said.
Along with having a greatstaff, board and alumni net-work, Newman understandsthe big picture and “how ev-erything interconnects,” Boyer
said.Montgomery County Coun-
cilman Roger Berliner (D-Dist.1) of Bethesda completed thecourse in 2002. He calls New-man an “indomitable force.”
His participation taughthim a lot about the county, giv-ing him a greater understand-ing of its diversity and the issuesthat affect its residents.
He said the program gavehim a greater appreciationfor the significance of countygovernment and how it affectspeople’s lives.
It also helped him developrelationships with other leadersin various parts and sectors ofthe county, Berliner said, help-ing to get beyond the superficialand creating a trust.
“You learn and you meetpeople who are important,”Berliner said.
Newman said she has per-sonal and professional reasonsto leave, including several peo-ple in her life dealing with vari-ous medical situations.
She’s also looking forwardto having more chances to vol-unteer, as well as spend moretime with her husband, chil-dren and six grandchildren.
But as she prepares to leave,Newman is proud of the impactLeadership Montgomery hashad on the county.
“It has changed people’slives in ways that could neverbe imagined,” she said.

Bethesda deli and caterer is offering a fullmenu for football fans who want to entertainand eat but not spend time preparing. A buffetfor 18 to 20 people including subs, meatballs,wings, tossed salad, cookies, brownies, chipsand soda is on special for the first 10 custom-ers for $249, with free delivery within 3 miles.
Maybe the best deal of all is offered byDavid “Curley” Cornblatt, owner of Cur-ley’s Q BBQ truck. He auctioned off a SuperBowl Bash for 30, with the proceeds going toBethesda Cares, a community outreach pro-gram to help the homeless.
Cornblatt said he has worked withBethesda Cares before and has developed aheart for the homeless.
“My goal is to raise awareness and changethe idea of the homeless,” he said. “I wantto help them move into a better place thanwhere they are now.”
So he offered to bring his truck to thehome of the top bidder on Super Bowl Sun-day, or another agreed-upon time, and feed 30people ribs, brisket, pulled pork, jerk chickenor gaucho chicken along with coleslaw andcrab scampi mac and cheese.
The auction was handled by Rasmus On-line Auctions of Arlington, Va., which also do-nated its time to the cause. The auction endedMonday morning, with a closing bid of $600.There were 19 bids, said Marie Jarvis, publicrelations director for Rasmus.
“I’m thrilled. Bethesda Cares got a lot ofpublicity,” Cornblatt said of the auction. “Itwasn’t about the money, but it’s getting peo-ple more aware.”

n Council members not sureif they’ll run together again
BY RYAN MARSHALL
STAFF WRITER
With Rockville’s city election still nearly a yearaway, the city’s four council members say it’s toosoon to know if they’ll run together on the slatethat got them elected to office in 2013.
The Team Rockville slate captured all fourcouncil seats that year, with voters electing TomMoore, Virginia Onley, Beryl Feinberg and JuliePalakovich Carr to serve alongside Mayor BridgetDonnell Newton.
Newton, on the other hand, defeated TeamRockville mayoral candidate Mark Pierzchala inthe mayoral race.
But theteam’smemberssaytheydon’tknowifthey’ll runacollectivecampaignagain for thenon-partisan election Nov. 3.
Onley said theslatehasn’tbeendissolved, andjust last month filed a financial report as TeamRockville.
“Legally, we are still a slate. That hasn’tchanged,” she said.
When the slate formed, Moore was runningfor re-election and Pierzchala had served on thecouncil, while Onley had previously run for office.Feinberg and Palakovich Carr were political new-comers, although both had served on city boardsand commissions.
Feinbergsaidshefoundrunningasagroupex-tremelyvaluable,and learneda lot fromthestrate-gies of Moore and Pierzchala.
The slate also gave five people a chance to getto know each other before they potentially servedtogether, she said.
Pierzchala approached people individually toform the ticket, with a goal of getting a group thatwas demographically and geographically diverse,
as well as one with varied experiences and that in-cluded incumbentsandnewcandidates,Feinbergsaid.
“And I think that goes to Mark’s credit,” shesaid.
Pierzchalacouldnotbe reached forcomment.Palakovich Carr agreed that, as a first-time
candidate, it was helpful to work with people whohad run before.
They had a better grasp on how to deal withlogistics and other issues that come up during acampaign, she said.
Onleysaidaslatealso letscandidatesshare thecost of literature and other campaign supplies, aswell as providing “teammates” with shared inter-ests in getting elected.
She said sheexpects to talk to theothers in thenext few months about their plans in the comingmonths, a view shared by other slate members.
Moore said that in some ways, many of theslate’s goals have been accomplished, and it’s notclear tohimthat agroupeffort isneeded this time.
But he added that it’s early in the process.“Running for re-election is a decision I don’t
have to make yet,” he said.There also could be other candidates to con-
sider. Thefilingdeadline for the election is Sept. 4.Coordination on the campaign trail hasn’t al-
ways meant that the slate members always agreeon everything.
For example, Feinberg has sponsored a pro-posed zoning amendment on storage facilities inthe city that has drawn opposition from Mooreand Palakovich Carr.
Newton, who did not run on a slate, said she’sbeen pleased to work with people on all threecouncils she’s been a part of, and she views eachelection as a chance to be part of a new teamamong the five people elected.
“You’re elected to the team of the mayor andcouncil,” she said.

n Some residents opposebig-box store there
BY KEVIN JAMES SHAY
STAFFWRITER
Residents in Aspen Hill liv-ing near the site of a vacant263,000-square-foot buildingand the developer of the prop-erty are gearing up for a Tues-day public hearing before theMontgomery County Councilabout the future zoning of thatproperty.
The highly visible, 10-acreproperty on Connecticut Av-enue near Aspen Hill Road hashadavacantbuildingsince2010,when military and aerospacecontractor BAE Systems movedout. The site comprises mostof the 14 acres being reviewedby county officials through anamendment process to AspenHill’s master plan.
In December, the Mont-gomery County Planning Boardapproved a plan that recom-mended that the former BAEproperty be rezoned to neigh-borhood retail from its pres-ent office designation. Someresidents fear that will leadto a big-box store, even afterWal-Mart pulled plans for a118,000-square-foot store therelast year.
The issue now goes beforethe County Council, whichscheduled the hearing for 7:30p.m. Tuesday at 100 MarylandAve., Rockville.
Sam Nasios, who lives nearthe site, said he’d like to seesmaller employers, such as ca-fes, pharmacies andmedical of-fices, rather than a big-box storethat could add significantly tohis neighborhood’s traffic con-gestion and noise.
“We know the developer hasto do something with that site,”said Nasios, a steering commit-tee member of the Aspen HillHomeownersGroup,whichmeton the issue on Thursday. “Butwe’d like to have a say in theprocess and help minimize theeffect of change.”
Bruce H. Lee, president ofLee Development Group of Sil-ver Spring, the site’s developer,saidhehas tried for several yearsto find an office tenant withoutsuccess. Wal-Mart expressed in-terest in the property if the zon-ingwas changed, thenwithdrewdue to uncertainty in the coun-ty’s zoning processes.
Before that, Costco wasinterested in Aspen Hill, butwas lured to Wheaton after thecounty offered a $4 million sub-sidy. A Costco opened there in2013.
“It’s been a long road to getto this point,” Lee said. “Wewant to duplicate what we havebeen able to accomplish atNorthgate Plaza.”
At the nearby NorthgatePlaza Shopping Center, Lee’scompany spent millions of dol-lars in upgrades and added aroughly 60,000-square-footKohl’s Department Store in2012.
Lee said hewas pleasedwiththe planning board’s recom-mended zoning for the formerBAE site. He said he can’t reallynegotiate with stores until a re-tail zoning is set, providingmorecertainty in the process.
“There are a lot of opportu-nities,” Lee said, givingexamplessuch as Dick’s Sporting Goods,PetSmart and grocery stores.
Neighborhood retail zon-ing could allow a building up to218,453 square feet, as high asfive stories, said Melissa Ryan,president of the AspenHill CivicAssociation. She supportedcommercial residential neigh-borhood zoning, which she saidallowed up to 50,000 square feetunless the retailer is a grocerystore.
Leesaidthat218,453-square-foot level was the maximumallowed under neighborhoodretail, and by the time parkingandother requirements aremet,such a store will be significantly
smaller than that on the prop-erty in question.
He said he wasn’t going tobuild just small retailers. “Thereis plenty of that there,” Lee said.
Some residents, includinga few from Leisure World, a se-nior citizen community northof the site, said during a hearinglast fall before the MontgomeryCounty Planning Board thatthey would like more competi-tion for grocers and retailers inthe area to lower prices and im-prove selection.
The former BAE build-ing was first occupied by VitroCorp.,which started in the 1950sas a manufacturing company ofmostly slide transparencies foroverhead projectors and even-tually became part of BAE. Vitroonce had two other buildings ina campus there, but they weretorn down in the 1990s to makeway for HomeDepot.

OUROPINIONS LET TERS TOTHEEDITOR
I would like to comment onwhat ismeant “greater good” inTheGazette’s “Our Opinions” (“Saveamphipods—atwhat cost?,” Jan. 7).
The editorial ended with astatement imploring everyone toconsider the “greater good” whendeciding about land use. This um-brella phrase has been manufac-tured and advertised to apply toa greater good when actually it ismore appropriately associated witha “greater greed.”
This “greater good” starts with amisrepresentation of undevelopedland as not already serving a greatergood. This can justify developmentstarting, perhaps with a housingcommunity which destroys an areaalready housing a natural commu-nity, stating this development is forthe “greater good.”
From this comes the “need” forclose proximity of abundant shop-ping — i.e., more development. Tosupport merchants supplying thisabundant shopping,more consum-ers are needed and more housing.Consumers have kids, schools areneeded, traffic gets bad and forthe “greater good,” more roads areneeded.Where there are new roads,there can bemore development.
The“greater good” isnowso im-portant, it is apparently appropriateto force property owners living inthe area before the developmentstarted to have a road built rightthrough where they live, like it ornot. This is achieved by the countycondemning the owners’ land andtaking it. Or there’s “alternate trans-portation”— i.e., the Purple Line.
And for the “greater good,” nomatter how valuable the land is tothe lives of the current inhabitants(in this case, maybe species listed
on the federal endangered spe-cies list), we are asked to condemnthe environment and build rightthrough the area for the “greatergood.”
Seemingly as proof that all ofthis is for the “greater good,”CountyCouncil members brag about howproperty values have goneup.Whatthis actuallymeans is that evenpeo-ple who have not improved theirproperty ormoved fromwhere theyhave been living can now pay thecounty higher taxes to support, youguessed it, the “greater good.”
As obviously self-perpetuatingthis circle of nonsense is, if it wereactually working to some degreefor a greater good, perhaps an ar-gument could be considered on itsbehalf. But, Montgomery County isstill facing a revenue shortfall for therest of the current fiscal year and thenext one.
So, let’s unwind this. Highertaxes, from all of this doing for the“greater good,” are not paying forsolutions to the problems createdby the “greater good.”
I can imagine some have come
away with greater goods from thisblind devotion to over develop-ment. But I see every day how themajority of people, plants and ani-mals — which, when in balance,do create a greater good — are suf-fering from the deception. So I ask:What is so good about the “greatergood” from the runaway train thatis over development and greed?Whose definition of what is goodare we being asked to buy into andto what end?

American University graduate student Jenna Keany holds a vial of shrimp-like amphipods in Rock Creek Park in Chevy Chase.
I take issue with The Gazette editorial on Jan.7 (“Saveamphipods—atwhat cost?). It is illogicalonmany levels. Let’s start with two big ones: tak-ing cars off the road and saving the amphipods.
The MTA “estimated” (without revealing itsmethodology or inputs) that in 2040 (25 yearsfrom now), nearly 17,000 “trips” by automobilewould be saved compared to the “no build alter-native.” That is a drop in trips of less than 1/10 ofone percent for the Metro area, an “estimate” of
trips saved that essentially equals zero.To quote The Gazette, these trips (if the es-
timate has any validity) will be saved “at whatcost?” In this instance, the cost would be about$21 per seven-mile trip saved. That’s too expen-sive.Weneed to seewhetherwecan saveasmanyor more trips with more cost-effective alterna-tives. The state has not done so yet.
Regarding the amphipods, both the federalgovernment and the state have adopted poli-
cies that treat “endangered species” with muchgreater care than other environmental issues be-cause extinction is forever. This policy has heldup (or even blocked) a number of importantprojects around the country. The Purple Linecase is too weak to justify rethinking this policy;the train’s cost would far exceed the benefits. Weneed cost-effective alternatives.
Lewis Leibowitz, Chevy Chase
Purple Line advocates don’t make a good case
Your Jan.7editorial “Saveamphi-pods—atwhatcost?”concludedthatsacrificing one of about five knownpopulations onEarth of two rare am-phipodswould be a fair exchange fora relatively tiny reduction in green-house gases and a smaller reductionin car trips in the distant future, if arecentamphipoddiscoveryalong thepathof thePurpleLinewere tobeoneof the endangeredones.
Amphipods are an indicator offreshwater quality and depend fortheir survivalon leafy forestcoverandstreambuffers.
Eventhoughamphipodsrecentlyfound by Dr. Culver’s team are notone of the three highly endangeredspecies of amphipods of our nation’scapital area, all need thenewly foundhabitat in order to recover.
Even if one does not accept “theCovenant of Noah,” the duty not torisk destroying entire species and the
recognition thatweall dependon thediversity of life,wehumansalsoneedthis area— undisturbed. Thousandsof users of the trail — cyclists andwalkersofallages—comefrommilesaround to enjoy this gentle, shaded,forest-lined trail for commuting andrecreation.
The Purple Line, instead, woulddisplace the current trail, clear-cut48 acres of trees, and create storm-water runoff beyond levels normallyallowed by Montgomery County.In fact, within months, Montgom-ery County plans to force everyoneoff the trail, down narrow streetsthrough the town of Chevy Chase,driving cyclists and baby carriagesacross dangerous intersections, foryears of construction.
As for climate change, neitherThe Gazette nor the Sierra Club havepresented evidence to show that thecoal burned to generate the electricity
required by the Purple Line wouldn’tcreate more greenhouse gases (andother pollution) than the few cars theline would displace. Well-researchedcomments on the Final Environmen-tal Impact Statement countered thestate’s claim of greenhouse gas sav-ings.Thestates’estimatesandthoseofTheGazetteandSierraClubalsofailedto count carbon dioxide and otherpollutants (and stormwater for thatmatter) removedby the trail trees thatwouldbesacrificed foraPurpleLine.
It would be irresponsible tospend $2.5 billion to construct and$50 million a year or more for eachof the next 40 years to run the PurpleLine, asexplained in the followingex-pert analyses:

Failure to invest in early childhood care andeducation is a huge misstep, especially for a com-munity as educated as ours.
We now know the vast majority of our chil-dren’s brain development happens at 0-5 yearsand ensuring high quality experiences during thisperiod is crucial to school success and beyond.
We know the value of education, which is whywe invest over 50 percent of our county budget inK-12. Yet,we invest less than1percent in child careand early education.
Aseconomists like JamesHeckmanhavenoted,this is fertile ground that can yield great economicreturns. It’s not a handout, but an investment. It
allows parents to work while their kids are beingprepared for success in school and for life.
But child care is expensive. Even where bothparents are fully employed, many families cannotafford it and their children are likely to showup forkindergarten already behind and less equipped forsuccess.
Other jurisdictions have realized this problemand their citizensare supportingdedicated fundingsources to make substantial investments in theiryoungest children who need it most. Wouldn’t itbe wise for us to think ahead on this issue and jointhem?

Without then-U.S. Supreme Court Wil-liamO. Douglas, wemight not have theC&OCanal National Historical Park.
In 1954, TheWashington Post recom-mended creating a scenic highway out ofthe C&O canal’s remnants. But Douglasprotectively praised the land as “a wilder-ness area where we can commune withGod and nature, a place not yet marredby the road of wheels and the sound ofhorns.”
More than 60 years later, we have amagnificent184.5-milepark, stretch-ing fromCum-berland, Md.,to GeorgetowninWashing-ton, D.C.
The park’ssurvival is nolonger in seri-
ous danger, but the National Park Serviceisn’t flush with cash, either.
Coping with budget cuts, the Park Ser-vice is considering charging entrance feesfor the C&O park and others.
Like anyone else, we balk at beingcharged for something we’re accustomedto having for free. But this ideamakessense, and we support the concept to helppay for staffing, maintenance, amenitiesand restoration projects.
The National Parks Conservation As-sociation says the Park Service, “whichhas long struggled with underfunding, hasbeen crippled by compounded budgetcuts over recent years,” especially as it ap-proaches next year’s centennial.
Currently, the Park Service charges aC&O admission fee ($3 for three days) onlyat the park’s Great Falls Tavern entrancein Potomac. The new plan is to add feeseverywhere outsideWashington, D.C., andimplement a parking fee at the Fletcher’sCove area of the park inWashington.
Park visitors would pay $7 for a seven-day pass. Parts of the park west of SenecaCreek, that fee would be phased in, startingat $3 this year.
A per-vehicle pass would be $15 forseven days, also phased in west of SenecaCreek, starting at $5.
A frequent C&O park user probablywould go for an annual pass for $30, mak-ing this a nominal fee for most people.
In the National Park System, 131 unitsalready charge entrance fees, so this isn’t arash change. The Park Service has 401 parkunits, 23 scenic and historic trails, and 58wild and scenic rivers.
Park Service Director Jon Jarvis is let-ting superintendents consider new or in-creased entrance fees for more uniformity.C&O rates are likely to be for seven days in-stead of three, which some parks use now.
For comparison, AntietamNationalBattlefield currently charges $4 for anyoneat least 16 years old and $6 per family forthree days. An annual pass costs $20. Harp-ers Ferry’s federal park charges $5 per per-son and $10 per vehicle, also for three days.An annual pass costs $30.
Realizing there could be backlash, C&Opark Superintendent Kevin Brandt said: “Ifthere isn’t public support for this, it won’thappen.”
Input is welcome at public meetings,including one at 7 p.m. Feb. 5 at Glen EchoTownHall.
There’s probably room for compromiseand negotiation in the recommended ratesas the details are worked out.
Still, we’re persuaded by Brandt’swords in a Park Service press release: “Thepark is a popular place where people cometo recreate, to learn, to be challengedphysically and to be inspired and renewed;however, the park cannot run itself forfree, and our fee revenue is essential toproviding for public safety, recreation andresource protection.”

LET TERS TOTHEEDITOR
Brian Benhaim’s calls for“real reforms” in the wake ofthe tragic plane crash near theAirpark in December [Jan. 7 Fo-rum] lack benefits to the com-munity while greatly benefittingMr. Benhaim and any of hisneighbors who chose to moveto a house near the Airpark.
As a pilot for a major airlinewho started his career at theAirpark, I find Benhaim’s “re-forms” overreaching. His plansare not real solutions. They are aveiled attempt by a NIMBY citi-zen to promote a selfish causespringboarded by a tragic ac-cident.
Banning touch-and-gooperations because they are anuisance to “legitimate com-mercial traffic” is like askingMr. Benhaim to drive off to theshoulder of Route 124 wheneverhe sees a commercial truck, bus,or limo in his rear-view mirror.Airplanes already in the patternhave the right of way, and all jetpilots know this and adjust ac-cordingly. After all, they likelybecame jet pilots by practicingtouch-and-goes at the local air-port.
Attempting to ban jets thatdon’t have a qualified copilotis not something that local gov-ernment can police. That’s thejurisdiction of the FAA, whocertifies airplanes to be flown bya single pilot versus two. Single-pilot jet operations have beenin use for more than 30 years.Trust me, because of this acci-dent, the NTSB and FAA will belooking far more closely at thisexemption.
His final proposal to sim-ply close the airport would bea boon for the value of nearbyhomes, perhaps including his.But, municipal airports are apart of the National AirspaceSystem. In the event of disaster,that single runway at the Air-park may serve as a lifeline forMontgomery County residents
as supplies fly in and injured areflown out to safer areas.
And let’s not forget theair-ambulance flights, AngelFlights, pet-rescue missions andmany other good-cause flightsthat take place at the Airpark,but are sadly under reported.
Benhaim also has his factswrong about other issues. First,the traffic at the airport fell pre-cipitously after 2000 because ofthe 9/11 terrorist attacks andthe establishment of highly re-stricted airspace overlying theAirpark. Many operators movedtheir airplanes to get out fromunder the bureaucratic bur-den of the airspace and risk offighter intercepts, not becauseof higher risk factors from over-flying the rampant develop-ment around the Airpark.
Second, Benhaim says emi-nent domain was used to “ex-pand operations at the airport,so bigger jets could land here.”This is flat-out false. The run-way at the Airpark has been thesame length since 1971. If he’sreferring to the development ofthe Webb tract, that is a countybuilding under constructionthere and has nothing to dowith the Airpark.
The reality is that any pro-posal to expand or improvethe Airpark has been reliablyshot down for the last 40 yearsthanks to residents like Ben-haim and their tactics. Com-pared to other small airports inthe area, our Airpark has seenvery little improvement. Fewbusinesses keep airplanes herebecause the runway is too shortand there’s no instrument land-ing system to guide airplanes induring low weather.
Instead of protecting andembracing the airport, politi-cians, developers, and NIMBYresidents have for years at-tempted to strangle the life outof it. So far, it’s working.

Airpark criticism ignoresactual and potential benefits
As a parent of a Montgomery CountyPublic Schools ninth-grader, I would liketo add my perspective on changing to laterhigh school bell times — and as a Montgom-ery County resident, I am very concernedabout any additional cost (or the diversionof current funding) of some of the options.
Changing bell times is very “complex,”as acknowledged by MCPS in its 2015 sum-mary analysis. However, this issue may besimplified by determining: “What’s drivingthis need?”
As reported in internal MCPS reportsand analysis, increasing sleep is the drivingforce. Although not explicitly stated, moresleep leads to greater academic achievementand increases the general health of highschool students since their circadian rhythmresults in a later time when they fall asleep.
However, the independent Hanover Re-port conducted for MCPS states “...there isno conclusive evidence that demonstratesthat later high school start times result inimproved academic achievement for stu-dents.”
While a later bell time facilitates getting
up later, it also means that school ends later.Given the rigors of high school — academ-ics, clubs, sports, jobs — does ending theschool day later “push” these activities backwith no increase in sleep?
To address this, MCPS cites a 2002 studyby Kyla Wahlstrom (“Findings from the FirstLongitudinal Study of Later High SchoolStart Times”) that indicates some increasedsleep. It is based on districts with a total pop-ulation of less than 700 students, with 467students in a later start time (Minneapolis)versus 169 students in an earlier start time(anonymous District B).
However, much has changed since the2002 Wahlstrom study, led by an explosionof electronic devices, streaming video, andespecially social media that high school stu-dents use frequently (much to my chagrin,that’s my daughter!). For MCPS to leveragea decade-old study from a vastly differentinformation/entertainment age — a studywith less than 700 students and an “anony-mous District B,” so that no socio-demo-graphic comparisons can be made — is nota strong business case for change.
My concern is MCPS may be “experi-menting” with later bell times without sup-porting evidence that links greater studentachievement or indicates this provides moresleep. Additionally, given the economicheadwinds for MCPS’ funding, any optionthat carries a cost should not be considered.
Since the board and MCPS are chargedwith optimizing student achievement andbeing sound stewards of taxpayer (funding)dollars, especially as these dollars becomeever-more scarce, initiating a costly changewithout much assurance of student achieve-ment gains and increased sleep is pure folly.All this points to a strong “no-action” byMCPS and the board of education.
Changing bell times is complex given thevarious stakeholder concerns, interests, andthe massive disruption to 154,000 studentsand their families. However, the decisionis simple: Do not change bell times unlessthere is compelling evidence of increasedstudent achievement and increased sleepfor MCPS high school students.

Without proof of a benefit,district shouldn’t change bell times
As another year came to aclose, I thought about peoplewho have shaped my path. As aLatina, first-generation Ameri-can, I didn’t have a ton of rolemodels outside of my familywho shared my backgroundsand experiences. But where so-ciety and media came up short,incredible teachers at BlakeHigh School made the differ-ence. Because of them, I mademy way to college. I attendedthe University of Maryland, Bal-timore County. Now, becauseof them, I teach, too.
Allison Finn, Claire Kodan,Rudy Tyrell, Cindy Loveland,Leigh Tinsley, Joseph DuBois,Carole Goodman, Kim Tolbert,Kathy Moore, Denise Ramosand many more recognizedwhat college could do for me,long before I did. They knew itwould stretch me academically
and challenge me personally. Itwasn’t until my senior year thatany of us knew exactly where itwould lead me.
As an undergrad, I volun-teered with disadvantagedBaltimore students — manyof whom had special needs. Igrew increasingly frustratedwith a system that didn’t grantthe same opportunities to allmy students. They strugglednot because they weren’t capa-ble, but because of systems notset up to address their uniqueneeds and situations.
As my time with UMBCcame to a close, I knew I wantedto continue public service work— to create meaningful changeI deeply believe in. I thoughtabout my Blake teachers andknew I needed to get into theclassroom and pay forward allthat those teachers gave me.
I joined Teach For America,which enlists college graduatesand professionals to teach inlow-income communities andadvocate for equity.
I am teaching in Baltimorewith a vow: never let a studentget pushed through an educa-tion system without keys for op-portunities. I set high goals forall my kids and expect them tomeet them. Many students maybe low-income, or first-genera-tion Americans, or have specialneeds, but I refuse to let thosebe reasons they don’t succeed.
My kids and I talk aboutleadership coming from withinand how to see yourself as aleader. For many, this isn’t easy— they don’t see many peoplein positions of authority or in-fluence to whom they relate.As a teacher, I strive to createlessons that not only allow my
students to explore variousleaders, but also develop theirown leadership skills.
I want every kid in Balti-more to have the choice to goto college. I believe every singlestudent in Baltimore has in-credible potential, and I wantthem to believe that, too. Myown teachers showed me ex-cellent teaching, and I want toreplicate that for the next gen-eration. Every morning in theclassroom, I strive to teach asthey taught me: with passion,excitement, humility and un-derstanding.
Together, we can give ourkids the futures they deserve.

Name any sport,and at some pointLarry Hurd has prob-ably coached it dur-ing his tenures withClarksburg and Pool-esville high schools.
I suspect that ifHurdwalked pasttwo students playingchess, he’d stop to ex-plain why theMuller-Schulze Gambit is tooaggressive. He’s currently the Coyotes’ foot-ball coach, but he has a very long resume.
“I’ve coached boys and girls basketball,”Hurd said. “I’ve coached baseball and soft-ball, and I’ve coached football. I’ve done allthese things.”
You’re right, he’s about tomake a point:“There is no preparation for the posi-
tion of head football coach, until you getthe job.”
Hurd’s defensive coordinator from thepast two seasons, DeShawn Anderson, isfinding that out after he was named Blake’sfootball coach last week.
A coordinator can focus on one thing,whilemaybe helping out in other areas. Butwhen you’re the head coach, you have toworry about both sides of the ball and spe-cial teams; you have to deal with themedia;parents asking about playing time; an ad-ministration that tells you it’s out ofmoney;college coaches whowant information onpossible recruits; visitingmiddle schools tolocal kids from going to Springbrook; keep-ing tabs on athletes’ grades; checking tomake sure your players live where they aresupposed to live so you don’t have to forfeita game;making sure a kid isn’t throwingaway a possible scholarship by tweetingsomething wildly inappropriate. And on,and on, and on.
“I don’t have a Twitter account,” Ander-son said. “I guess I’m going to have to getone.”
That list is just the start.“Every year, there’s something new,”
Hurd said. “You’re always having to adapt.But, while no one becomes a head coach forthe first time ready, I do think [Anderson] isas ready as you can be.”
Anderson has been a head coach intrack, at Einstein andWatkinsMill. He saidhewas a four-year starter at linebacker atNorfolk State, and did a coaching intern-ship with twoNFL teams (Indianapolis andJacksonville) for two summers.
He stopped coaching for four years tofocus on his family, but he was back soon asthe linebackers coach at Clarksburg for twoseasons before taking over as coordinator.
What canwe expect fromBlake?“I’m aggressive,” Anderson said. “We’re
going to use track as the basis for our pro-gram, andmake sure our kids are in greatshape because we’re going to run at atempo that’s tremendous.”
The former track coach broke the newsThursday to his football players that he ex-pects all of them on the track team.
Expect a quick-to-the-line, no-huddleoffense and a lot of pressure on thequarter-back tomake the right reads and execute theright options.Ondefense, Anderson saidhe’sa four-linemen, three-linebacker coach.
“You’re going to see speed andaggres-siononboth sides of theball,” Anderson said.
He teaches technology education atClarksburg, but Anderson said he’s beentold they are going to do everything pos-sible to get him in the building at Blake.
For now, he’s just trying to learn what itmeans to be a head football coach.
“When I first got hired for the job,myemail box, there were like 20 emails thatyou’ve got to respond to,” Anderson said.“Forme, it’s about balance, betweenmyfaith, my family and the love that I have forthis game.”
“When he toldme he got the job, I toldhim that his headaches just increased 100-fold,” Hurd said.

n Watkins Mill girls basketballseniors approaching1,000-point mark
BY ERIC GOLDWEINSTAFFWRITER
Watkins Mill High School seniorsDominiqueWalker andDanielleDur-jan are keeping tabs on their scoringtotals as they each approach 1,000points. Walker has 905 and Durjanhas 950, and with nine regular sea-son games remaining, plus play-offs, they’re aware they have a goodchance of reaching the milestone.Andwhen they do, they’ll be awardeda game ball and be recognized withan in-game announcement, possiblyduring a stoppage of play, WatkinsMill coach IvanHicks said.
“It’s very special. It’s very special,it’s very comforting knowing thatnight after night we have two individ-
uals that will score,” Hicks said.In Montgomery County, and at
high schools across the area, basket-ball players like Walker and Durjanarenearingorhavealreadypassed thearbitrary scoring mark. On Thursday,Churchill senior Japria Karim-Duvallbecame thefirst Bulldog in 11 seasonsto reach 1,000. Paint Branch seniorDaisa Harris scored her 1,000th pointa year ago,whileEleanorRoosevelt ju-nior Kaila Charles hasmore than 900.
It’s an impressive accomplish-ment, coaches said, particularly forpublic school athletes who play 22regular season games and at least onemore in theplayoff.On thegirls side, ittypically takes four seasons of consis-tent, steady contributions — 10-pluspoints per game — without missingany significant time. It’s even morechallenging on the boys side, wherefreshmen are less likely to make var-sity teams, let alone contribute.
“You need to have a combination
of your team playing well so you getenough games in, and [you need] toscore pretty consistently on a goodclip,” said Paint Branch alumnus andgirls coach Rochelle Coleman (Classof 2001),who scored 1,000 at theBur-tonsville school. “Youhave tobe con-sistent all through high school.”
Different county teams have dif-ferent ways of acknowledging the1,000 points. Some, like coach KateMcMahon, publicize when the ath-letes are close to 1,000, notifying theathlete’s family and even the press.Others place less emphasis on thefeat and are against mid-game stop-pages, but will recognize the athleteat the next game or after the season.
It’s not a big deal everywhere. AtRoosevelt— the reigning state cham-pions from Prince George’s County— coach Delton Fuller hadn’t beentracking Charles’ scoring progress

Tim Gilchrist said he knew the players he hadentering his first year as boys basketball coachat Sherwood High School in 2013. The 1999
graduate of the Sandy Spring school had spent theprevious 12 seasons at Paint Branch as the juniorvarsity coach and assistant under longtime varsityheadman Walter Hardy, but had long kept tabs onthe program he helped take to the state semifinalshis senior year.
Last winter, the Warriors were returning a solidnucleus of seniors, including 6-foot-8 forward EllisDozier, forwardTylerReeves andguardMikeCrooks—all talentedplayerswith years of experienceundertheir belts.
But when the season came to a close, it wasn’ttheDivision I-bound (OhioUniversity)Dozier or thelankyCrooks thathademergedas theWarriors’ lead-
ing scorer. Rather, it was the 5-foot-10 junior, XavierMcCants, averaging just over 14 points per game.The shooting guard had become a pleasant surprisefor Gilchrist, who said he knew he had a formidableplayer to build around for the 2014-15 season afterlosing four seniors from a team that went 13-11.
“Most of the year I just took the shots when theywere given to me,” McCants, now a senior, said ofhis 2013-14 performance. “Last year we had a lot oftalent and it was just nice to be able to be aroundthose guys.”
Comfortable in his role as a junior on a talentedsenior-heavy team,McCants thrivedat thewing, uti-lizing his talent to get to the rim and finish amongtaller opponents.

Just hours removed from a convincing54-31 win at Kennedy High School on Fri-day, the Richard Montgomery boys basket-ball teamwas back in the gymworking on itsshot— in dodgeball.
As 1990s hip-hop music blared downfrom the speakers above, coach David Bre-slawweavedhisway in andoutof his players,flashing a smile as he laughed alongside hisundefeated (14-0) team.
The 8 a.m. practice started off with yoga,followed by 15 minutes of shooting work,before ending with two spirited games ofdodgeball— a nice reward, Breslaw said.
“We’ve throwna lot at them this year andwe’ve been relentless when it came to prac-tice, so thiswasmuchneeded,” Breslaw said.
The relaxed practice couldn’t have comeat a better time for the Rockets, who willspend most of the week preparing for Fri-day’s scheduled 7 p.m. game against Spring-brook, a team thatmay be the greatest threatto Richard Montgomery’s unblemished sea-son.
The contest in Silver Spring will not onlyfeature twoof 4A’s top teams, butwill pit twocontrasting styles of play against each otherinwhat couldprove tobeoneof themost en-tertaining games of the regular season.
TheRockets havebeenpraisedby countycoaches for their offensive discipline and pa-tience in letting plays develop. Led by seniorguard Renzo Farfan, Richard Montgomery’soffense is a methodical series of passing andcutting until the best shot presents itself. Theball often finds its way to 6-foot-5 senior for-ward Nick Jackson, who is just as adept atfinding the open man as he is getting physi-cal in the post. The Rockets’ patience anddiscipline has continually given them theadvantage over athletically superior teams,Breslaw said.

Sherwood’s many pieces. Hewas the main guy; the lone re-turning starter of a relatively in-experienced group.And so, McCants began the
transition into his newfoundleadership role. The seniorguard, at Gilchrist’s recom-mendation, participated in athree-day leadership trainingseminar run by the MarylandPublic Secondary Schools Ath-letic Association.McCants orga-nized summer meetings at theSherwood track and if there wasa teamworkout,McCantswas atit, not onlyworkingonhis game,but also his role as theWarriors’much-needed leader“He didn’t talk a lot last
year,” Gilchrist said. He kind ofput his sense out there but letthe seniors take lead. Now he’spushingguys if the teamgets outof focus.”For McCants, the transition
to a leadership role came some-what naturally after seasonsspent in the background.“I felt like I could take that
leadership role,” McCants said.“I can play basketball, so I knewit wouldn’t be that much pres-sure. I feel like I’manatural bornleader and it’s nice to be able tolead a group of guys to go as faras we can.”With the leadership void
filled, Gilchrist and the War-riors turned their attention tothe leadership position on thecourt: the point guard spot. Thethree point guards Gilchrist hadat his disposal weren’t workingout and so McCants asked if hecould practice at the positionover the summer.“I said, ‘Yeah, no problem,
we’ll work you in at point,’” Gil-christ said, also admitting henever though McCants wouldmake the switch permanently.But just a handful of games
into the Warriors season, therewas McCants assuming thepoint guard spot, sacrificing his
scoringopportunities ashe tran-sitioned into Sherwood’s floorgeneral.“I felt like we needed a ball
handler and someone who
could keep track of time andscore and be able to control thetempo of the game,” McCantssaid. “Just being a leader, I feltlike I would have to take the po-
sition that is supposed to be theleader on the court, controllingeverything that goes on.”After a couple of low scor-
ing games during the position
change, McCants has emergedas both a game manager and ascoring threat (16.0) for Sher-wood, as he has mixed in asteady jump shot to compli-ment his ability to attack therim. Paired with junior guardTyrese Williams (11.7), the sonof former University of Mary-land, College Park starWaltWil-liams, McCants has thrived inhis new roles and was recentlyrecognized as a nominee for the2015 McDonald’s All-Americangame.At 6-5 and a 3-1 record in
their division, the Warriors areprimed to make a run at theprogram’s third division title, anopportunity that wouldn’t havebeen possible without McCantswillingness to change.“Basketball is a team sport
so you have to be able to sharethe ball,” the senior said. “Youjust have to play the game andgowith the flow.”
“It’s huge because we arenot the fastest team,” Breslawsaid. “We’re not the biggestteam. We’re not the quickestteam. We’re not the extremein any respect. We have higherthanaverage IQ—Iwouldmakethat claim. So that’s our advan-tage.”Friday evening, the Rockets
may be running into 4A’s mostathletic team in Springbrook,a group that thrives in the up-and-down pace of a transition-heavy game, but is very capableof locking down a half-court op-ponent with the intense, grittyman-to-man defense they’vebeen known for over the last fewdecades.Running the show for first-
year coach Darnell Myers issenior point guard DonovanWalker. Walker has dazzled op-
ponents this season with hisquickness and ability to finishat the rim, but also has provenhimself tobeanelite gameman-ager and lockdown defender.Those two assets may come inhandy against a Richard Mont-gomery team that likes to keepgames in the 40s and 50s.Thekey to thegame is loston
neither involved party. Which-ever team is able to establish itspace from the opening whistlewill haveanadvantage inagamethatMyers called “twoheavyhit-ters going at each other.”“I’ve seen [Richard Mont-
gomery] play twice and I justthink we’ve got to play Spring-brook basketball,” the Blue Dev-ils coach said. “If we can get outand run then we’re going to doit. But I think lately we’ve beenplaying very good half-court de-fense. That’s what we believe in,is playing defense and doing thethingswe can do to stop teams.”Springbrook’s path to Friday
nightwill bemore taxing than itsopponent’s, as the Blue Devilswere scheduled to travel to Ken-nedy and host Blake.Richard Montgomery is set
to play Walter Johnson beforeFriday, and the Rockets mayhave been the beneficiary of aweak schedule — Breslaw saidthe combined record of theRockets’ 14 opponents thus faris just 45-80.But as the Rockets coach
has pointed out time and timeagain, his team is in tune withthe reality of their winningstreak and has remained com-mitted to the same work ethicand focus that got them to thispoint.“We know they’re a great
team,” Jackson said of Spring-brook. “... But if we want to getto where we want to go, teamslike Springbrook have to bebeaten.”

Richard Montgomery High School’s Renzo Farfan scores against Whitman on Jan. 9.
as of Sunday, despite her beingwithin striking distance. HankGalotta, who coached the PaintBranch boys team from 1973 to1999 and at DeMatha Catholicunder Morgan Wootten priorto that, said he’s seen the feat
acknowledged, but couldn’trecall a boys game ever beingstopped for it. In fact, when all-time county great Tracy Jacksonscored his 2,000th for the Pan-thers in the 1977 state final, Ga-lotta said he didn’t even realizeit until he tallied up the pointsat the end of the season. He ac-knowledged it later at the end-of-season banquet, he said.
“At the end of the game wenever recognized points,” Ga-lotta said. “The first thing wetalked about was rebounds,leading assist man, leadingsteals. If there was somethingthat was unique about scoring,we’dmention that. Butweneverever, and Morgan never evertalked about howmany points.”The accomplishment,
though, has long been acknowl-edged in amateur and profes-sional basketball. A 1937 NewYork Times article noted thatLong Island University men’sbasketball player Jules Benderscoredhis 1,000thpoint. In1950,when Carl Braun of the NewYork Knickerbockers reachedthe milestone, the game wasstopped and he was presented
a ball, The New York Times re-ported.Players and coaches, to
varying extents, are still goingafter the arbitrary scoring feat.Walker, who had an abbrevi-ated sophomore season, saidshe didn’t think she’d get any-where near the mark but wasencouraged when Durjan toldher before the season that she
was close. With Walker averag-ing a county leading 21.3 pointsper game, and Durjan (20.7) notfar behind, both may only needa fewmore games to get there.“I think that it’s pretty cool,”
Walker said. “... Not the biggestdeal in the world, but it is awe-some.”

Gaithersburg isback on track
WhentheGaithersburgHighSchoolboysbasketball teamdropped threeof fourgames ina10-day stretch inmid-December,bas-
ketball fans around the countyscratched their heads. TheTrojans have one of the most tal-ented lineups in the county, butas coach Tom Sheahin pointedout, you didn’t have to look farto see what was troubling Gaith-ersburg.
In its three losses to Clarks-burg, Magruder and Kennedy,Gaithersburg shot a combined37 percent from the free throwline. The Trojans, as Sheahinnoted, were also strugglingon the defensive end as theystruggled to find their identityas a team— something they’vecertainly rectified as evidencedby the five-game winning streaktheir currently riding. During thestreak the Trojans are shooting72 percent from the line and areexerting themselves on defense,according to Sheahin.
“I feel like our guys were justtired of losing,” senior AnthonyTarke said. “Now we’re just rid-
ing this successful wave withoutbeing complacent .”
Kennedy starout with hip injury
After Kennedy High Schoolsophomore Jonathan Mustamutook a hard fall in a Dec. 15 gameagainst Churchill High School,Cavaliers coach Diallo Nelsonnoticed his standout guard wasstretching a little more thanusual in practice. Once thetrainer got a look at Mustamu,who has averaged 21.8 pointsper game through 12 contests,the sophomore was diagnosedwith a hip flexor injury. Nelsondecided to sit Mustamu for a 10-day stretch at the start of the newyear where there were no games,giving Mustamu time to rest. Butafter watching the 6-foot-1 Mus-tamu limp through last week’sgames against Bethesda ChevyChase and Richard Montgomery,the longtime Kennedy coachdecided enough was enoughand pulled Mustamu from thelineup. “He won’t play again
until we get him looked at by aspecialist,” Nelson said. “It’s notgetting any better, it’s gettingworse.”
Whitman junior adjustingto style of play
When Whitman High Schooljunior Shaq Diboti-Lobe joinedthe Vikings program in the off-season, he had a lot of changingto do. The athletic, talented for-ward had never played a minuteof high school basketball andwas joining a program whereintense man-to-man defenseand patience on offense — twothings you’d be hard pressed to
find in Amateur Athletic Unionbasketball — were the corner-stones. But, as coach Chris Lunnoted, Diboti-Lobe has madesignificant progress in trans-forming his style of play. “He’sdefinitely come a long way,”Lun said. “He’s certainly a betterplayer now than when he cameto us.” The Churchill transfer isaveraging 14.8 points per game.
Northwest puts togethera perfect week
Just a day after first-yearNorthwest High School coachRob Smith said he could seethe pieces of his team starting
to come together, the Jaguarssnapped out of a three-game los-ing streak, upsetting Clarksburg,69-67 on Jan. 16.
The win lifted Northwestfrom a slump that had seen onlytwo wins (Wootton on Dec. 22and Severn on Dec. 30) in nearlya month. Four days after its winover the Coyotes, Northwest fol-lowed up with a 65-56 win overWalter Johnson and added toits winning streak with a 73-60win on the road Friday eveningagainst Sherwood, bringing itsrecord to 7-7.

First-year Sherwood HighSchool coach said he didn’tknow much about Delaney Mc-Menamin prior to the season. AGeorge Washington Universitylacrosse recruit, the Warriorsjunior hadn’t spent much timewith the girls basketball team,playing in only one fall leaguegame, Hobbs said.
But that would be hardto tell based off of what the5-foot-7 forward has done so farthis season. McMenamin hasbeen a steady scorer, averag-ing 8.5 points, while providingSherwood (8-4) with a two-wayplayer in the frontcourt.
“The kid just goes out andplays hard every night,” Hobbssaid. “To have someone withher athleticism and willingnessto compete, it’s just given us anadded dimension.”
Watkins Mill finds its wayTwo players account for
nearly all of Watkins Mill HighSchool’s scoring, an offensiveformula that has been problem-atic at times. Playing againstrival Damascus on Friday, thelack of offensive depth nearlycost the Wolverines girls bas-ketball team a double-digitfourth-quarter lead.
Watkins Mill was ahead by10 with about three minutes leftwhen senior and county leadingscorer Dominique Walker (21.3points) fouled out of the game,leaving her senior teammateDanielle Durjan (20.7) in chargeof the offense. The lead got allthe way down to three, coachIvan Hicks said, but the Mont-gomery Village school was ableto hold on for the 55-49 victory.It was a big win for the Wolver-ines, who lost to the Swarmin’
Hornets in December.“I said, as long as we con-
tinue to move the ball, don’tforce the ball, minimize turn-overs, get out in transition andlastly, we must rebound. If wedo that, we win the game. Wedid those several things,” Hickssaid.
Paint Branchstill growing
The Paint Branch HighSchool girls basketball team isallowing 41 points per game onthe season en route to a 12-1start, but coach Rochelle Cole-man said the No. 2 Panthershave some work to do.
“We’re not playing our bestball yet,” Coleman said. “Westill have to defend a lot better.”
The Burtonsville school suf-fered it first loss against No.1 Whitman on Jan. 20, falling61-51, but the defense has beenconsistent outside of that. PaintBranch rebounded from theloss with a 52-30 win over Blair(Silver Spring) on Friday.
Northwest thinkinglong term
With five new starters andan entire sophomore class thathas never played varsity before,the Northwest High School girlsbasketball team (0-12) is win-less, and has a good chance offinishing the season that way.
Northwest has at times held
its own on the defensive end.Forward Jaden Bynum hasplayed tough inside, while ju-nior Celine Jordan (7.9 points)and sophomore point guard Sa-mantha Sekscienski (6.5) haveled the team in scoring.
“It’s a young team with a lotof courage,” second-year coachNathan Lewis said. “They’rewilling to do whatever it takesto be successful.”
But the Jaguars simply don’thave the basketball experience.That’s why Lewis said he is put-ting together a plan to get theathletes playing year-round.
“There’s potential in eachone of these children as long asthey do what they need to do inthe offseason to be successful,”Lewis said.
Stone Ridge sophomoreprovides spark
When its 3-pointers arefalling, the Stone Ridge Schoolof the Sacred Heart girls bas-ketball team has had a mucheasier time winning games.The Gators (4-10) snapped asix-game losing streak on Jan.15 by hitting eight 3-pointersin a win over Holton-Arms. Intheir three prior wins, they hadnine against Hill School (Pa.)and had eight both times theydefeated Georgetown Day.
The Bethesda school’s topshooter has been sophomoreguard Kathyrn Maloney, whose25 3-pointers rank third inMontgomery County. She’sbeen a “spark off the bench” af-ter playing limited minutes lastseason, coach Michael Thiedesaid.

The Bulldog girls continuedto pepper Montgomery County’sleaderboard with record-settingperformances at the Kevin DareInvitational hosted by Penn StateSaturday. Kyla Lewis, Masai Rus-sell, Alexis Postell and AriannaRichards posted the county’s toptime in a runner-up finish in the800-meter relay (1 minute, 40.67seconds). The time tops mo-corunning.com’s “since 2006”leaderboard as well. Postell,Russell, Kyla Lewis and LindsayLewis followed that up with thecounty’s best 1,600-meter relaymark of the season (3:58.16),ranked third in the past nineyears.
While much attention hasbeen paid to the girls’ histori-cal season, the Bullis boys had abreakout weekend in Pennsylva-nia.

n Northwest andWhitman atDamascus, 1p.m. Saturday:This tri-meet canshake up the 4A/3AWest Region dualstandings with thethree top teams inthe county squaringoff.
There are certain train-ing exercises runners can doto improve speed and endur-ance, even mental strength.But there are certain aspectsof athleticism that just can-not be taught, first-year GoodCounsel track coach EugeneNeal said.
In addition to the tangi-bles, 5-foot-7 (per Neal’s esti-mation) Virginia Tech recruitRachel Pocratsky has the in-tangibles and they’ve set herapart as one of the state’s bestmiddle distance runners.
“She’s is a tall athlete, she’sphysically built to run at thenext level,” Neal said. “She hasthose traits you can’t teach.[On top of that] she’s deter-mined.”
Pocratsky currently holdsthe state’s top time in the800-meter run (2 minutes,18.65 seconds) and is thecounty’s fourth-fastest in the500-meter run (1:18.05). OnSaturday at the Last Track toPhilly Invitational hosted byGeorgetown Prep, she an-chored the winning 1,600-me-ter sprint relay that postedMontgomery County’s besttime (4 minutes, 19.99 sec-onds) since 2011, according tomocorunning.com.
The relay squad includedher younger sister Erin, LenaFowler and Chloe Johnson.
Magruder sophomoreregains winning formGiven Colonels sophomore
Stephanie Davis’ success dur-ing a breakout spring outdoorseason in which she won fourevents at the state meet — twoindividual, two relays — onewould expect her to enterthis winter rather confident.But some turmoil within theprogram early — three headcoaches from October through
the end of November — and per-haps external pressure to backup those results, led to a subparbeginning of the season per herstandards, coach Richard Bosnicsaid. After a number of runner-up finishes, wins in her both herevents at last week’s Montgom-ery County championship — 55-and 300-meter dash — built herconfidence back up, Davis said.
Davis’ county title perfor-mances are among the best inthe state and nation. Her time of40.20 seconds in the 300-meterdash is top in the state and No.22 in the nation, according toMileSplit.
Her 7.20-second, 55-meterdash time is Maryland’s third-best.
“[Davis] is a very gifted ath-lete,” Bosnic said. “She workshard. And she is competitive.She does not like to lose. Whenpush comes to shove, she hasthat grit and desire to win andnot all kids do.”
Damascus tuning up forrun at region title
The Swarmin’ Hornetsposted several top-notch perfor-mances in Saturday’s Last Trackto Philly Invitational hosted byGeorgetown Prep, a meet Da-mascus coach Jason Bozicevichsaid was a good opportunity forhis athletes to fine tune somethings as they get ready for theupcoming Class 3A West Regionand state championship meets.
Denise Woode, Sahee Ab-delmomin, Mia Del Borrello andMina Del Borrello joined forcesfor a second-place finish behindstate title contender Bowie inthe 1,600-meter relay.
Damascus has several ath-
letes who should contend forregion titles, Bozicevich said,including Woode, who is rankedseventh among 3A athletes inthe 300-meter dash, and Mia DelBorello and Andrea Caputo, whoare tied for the third-best highjump (4 feet, 10 inches). Damas-cus is also in the top 10 of boththe 800- and 1,600-meter relays.
“[Some good performancesSaturday], times are starting tocome down at the right time,”Bozicevich said.
“Seneca Valley has turnedout to be pretty good this seasonbut I think we should have somegood results [at regionals].”
B-CC distance runner backEarlier this month, Barons
senior Nora McUmber wasnamed Gatorade Maryland GirlsCross Country Runner of theYear for a remarkable fall seasonduring which she won countyand state titles.
Perhaps the state’s bestdistance runner, who is partici-pating in the indoor season forthe first time this winter, wasmissing at last week’s countychampionship due to an officialcollege visit, coach Chad Youngsaid.
She rejoined the BaronsSaturday at the Last Track toPhilly hosted by GeorgetownPrep, where she anchored thethird-place 3,200-meter relayand ran the second leg of thefourth-place distance medley.B-CC dropped out of the top 5 atthe county meet but McUmber’sreturn should bolster the lineupat regionals.
The Walter Johnson girlswon the distance medley Sat-urday with the fastest time (12minutes, 31.42 seconds) by aMontgomery County team since2008, according to mocorun-ning.com.
Good Counsel runner leads team
The Magruder High Schoolwrestling team locked up the4A/3A East Division title on Sat-urday in a tri-match with divisionfoes Sherwood and Paint Branch.Magruder defeated Paint Branch36-27 and beat Sherwood 48-24,finishing a perfect 5-0 in the East.
Magruder’s only loss thisseason came to Churchill in theseason opener. Since then, theColonels have been on a tear,including an eye-opening per-formance and win over QuinceOrchard on Jan. 17.
Magruder coach AJ Tao saidBrent Martin (160 pounds) and JoeSanchez (126) have been staples inthe Colonels lineup.
Paint Branch defeated Sher-wood 44-36, but needed to beatMagruder for a chance at tying forthe division. Prior to the match,Panthers coach Rick Smith ac-knowledged that it would take alot.
The season has been a chal-lenge for Paint Branch, withwrestlers expected to play big rolesmissing in action. One example isa state qualifier from last season,Gibbs Tinne (195), who was un-able to return from a broken handsuffered during football seasonuntil Paint Branch’s tournamenton Jan. 17. With a tender hand andall, he finished second, remind-ing the county what Paint Branchhas been missing. Cornell Wilson(220) and Ryan Van Meers (132)have been top performers for thePanthers.
Landon-Bullis to determinesecond in IAC
On Wednesday, the LandonSchool wrestling team is set to faceconference rival Bullis in a matchthat will likely decide second placein the Interscholastic Athletic Con-ference’s regular season.
Georgetown Prep, currently 3-0in league play, will likely win theIAC regular season title. The Little
Hoyas have already defeated Bullis(2-1) and Landon (3-1).
“I am pleased with our prog-ress this season,” Bears coachAndy Katz said. “We are a youngteam who is getting better eachweek.”
The Bears have eight starters inthe lineup with winning records,four of which are freshmen. Thelineup also includes veteran JarettWitzal (160 pounds), who finishedsixth in last season’s MarylandIndependent School State Tourna-ment.
Clarksburg endurestough stretch
The Clarksburg High Schoolwrestling team started the season3-0, but that was before gettinginto the meat of its schedule onDec. 23, beginning with QuinceOrchard. A loss to QO turned outto be the first of a five-match los-ing streak for the Coyotes thatdidn’t end until Saturday when theCoyotes earned decisive victoriesover Rockville and Blake.
During the losing streak,Clarksburg lost matches to countypowers Damascus, Northwest andWalter Johnson. Over that stretch,the Coyotes failed to establishthemselves as one of the top teamsthis season, but there have beensome bright spots along the way.Northwest only edged the Coyotesby six points, and when Clarks-burg has won, it’s been by largemargins. The Coyotes defeated animproved Rockville team 44-18.
Coach Rob Pinsky said the sea-son is going well for his team — amix of seniors and young wrestlersthat includes freshman RyanCrosby (106 pounds).

Poolesville High School isseeking a new head footballcoach after Will Gant submittedhis resignation, citing family pur-poses as the reason why.
“Myoldest [child]willbease-nior at Walkersville High Schoolplaying soccer. My other one isa tenth-grader playing football.And I’ll have an eighth-graderplaying middle school soccer,”Gant said. “So just kind of run-ning out of hours in the day.”
Gant has coached at thecounty’s only Class 2A footballprogram since 2011, going 25-18 in four seasons with a playoffappearance in each of the pastthree. In his first season, Pooles-ville was 4-6. Since then, they’vegone 7-4 each year — losing inthe first round of the playoffs.
Gant said he started to get anidea to step down toward the end
of last seasonafter a con-versation withone of his son’sfootballcoachesat Walkersvilleand learnedthat Gant’s sonwould likely bemoving up tovarsity.
Walkersville defeated Pooles-ville in the 2012 postseason.
“I loved coaching [at Pool-esville],” Gant said. “We’ve gotan awesome community. Awe-some group of kids. And reallyawesome coaching staff... It’sa special place. It’s a differentschool community than most ofthe other Montgomery Countyschools.”
A friend of the coach at Walk-ersville, Gant said he may helpout with the team there, but healso said he could see himself re-turning to head coaching in thefuture — maybe even at Pooles-ville.

n After missing weight at lastyear’s county tournament, juniorhopes to do better this season
BY PRINCE J. GRIMES
STAFF WRITER
With his headphones in his ears,Xavier Howard paced up and down anunused mat in the gym at SpringbrookHigh School.
The 132-pound Wheaton wres-tler was preparing for his first of twomatches on Saturday, as the Knightswere getting ready to wrestle Spring-brook and Blair.
Howard’s demeanor was calm andthe junior said he was in a zone.
“I’m just clearing my mind out ofeverything,” Howard said of his pre-match routine. “Just trying to focus onhow I’m about to beat the next guy inline.”
Howard said he has a new level ofmotivation this season, one that haseluded him in the past. He said heremembers how last season ended intears.
Last year, he came in overweight
on the second day of the county tour-nament and was scratched. Howard,however, rebounded to place third inthe 4A/3A West Region tournament.In the state tournament, Howard losthis first match in overtime.
“I wish I could go back in time andtake that moment back,” Howard said.“I cried and cried. I couldn’t stop cry-ing. It was one of the worst feelings Ifelt.”
Now a junior captain, Howard is25-1 this season and on a mission toredeem himself. He said he felt like helet his team down last season.
Wheaton, a school with a proudwrestling tradition, hasn’t producedas much success in the sport recently.It hasn’t been easy to generate consis-tent interest from the student body tofield a complete team, especially witha revolving door of coaches over thepast decade. But in his second yearwith the Silver Spring school, coachKolawole Marville represents a level ofstability that the Knights haven’t seenin years.
“Would I love to have five, sixXaviers? Yeah, I would love to,” thecoach said. “But if that’s not the case, Ican still be happy that I have one, and
work with him. He has helped developsome of the young wrestlers that wehave on the team.”
Howard, who has been wrestlingsince the sixth grade, said the teamhas grown in numbers since Marvilletook over, but many of the wrestlersare new to the sport.
“I don’t have to depend on anyoneelse but myself. The amount of workthat I put in, I get out,” Howard said.“After the match, I don’t have to blameit on anybody else but myself. That’swhy I like it. I want to be someone thatpeople can look up to.”
Howard said he isn’t looking at thepostseason just yet. He said his onlyfocus is whatever his next match is.
His win against Blair was by falland he earned a 14-4 decision overSpringbrook.
“I’m just trying to win, just for myschool and my teammates and mycoach,” Howard said. “That’s all I’mtrying to focus on.”

n ‘Godspell’ cast formsclose bond in run up to show
BY KIRSTY GROFFSTAFFWRITER
Olney Theatre Center is beginning its77th season with Steven Schwartz’s “God-spell,” an updated take on Jesus’ parableswith a message almost anyone could getbehind.
Muchlike“ChildrenofEden,”Schwartz’sother Bible-inspired musical, “Godspell”is less about religion and more about thegoodness of humanity and the importanceof taking care of one another. This messageisconveyedthroughsongsrepresentingeachof Jesus’ lessons in theBible.
While themusical isawell-knownclassicgreat for bringing people into the new the-aterseason,OTC’sprimaryreasonforchoos-ing this production was former ChairmanEmeritus of the Board William H. GrahamSr.,whodied in2013.Formore than50yearshe served as a mentor to many in theater,fromhiswork asmanagingdirector andvicepresident ofOTC to chair of theDepartmentof SpeechandDramaatCatholicUniversity.
“His faith guided all of the choices in hislife, and we thought this would be a fittingtribute to his family and to his memory,”said director Jason King Jones, who is alsothe associate artistic director andDirector ofEducation forOTC.
“Godspell”openedoff-Broadwayin1971and has been performed widely ever since,including a 2011 Broadway revival. Thanksto the recent update, Jones and the rest ofthecrewwereable tocombineaspectsof theoriginal production they enjoyed withmoremodernpieces of the revivalmaterial.
“We went back and listened to the newscore and got really excited about how freshthe music sounds,” he said. “It doesn’t feellocked into the early 1970s tones it had ini-tially— that gave us some excitement so wecoulddo itwith fresh eyes.”
Both of the lead actors are relatively newtoOlneyTheatreCenter—RachelZampelli’sfirst production was last season’s “AvenueQ,” and this will be Jordan Coughtry’s first,though he’s worked with Jones previouslyelsewhere. However, both have performedin “Godspell” before and are familiar with
themusical’smessage.“It takesChristianityandmakes themes-
sage universal in a fun and creative way,”said Coughtry, who plays Jesus. “It doesn’teven really tackle religion. It’s just this mes-sage of love and goodness and moral disci-pline.”
“I liked the story about people in a com-munity following somebody who is peace-ful,” added Zampelli, taking on the role ofJohn the Baptist and Judas, “and the ideathat that’smorepowerful thanevil andtreat-ing eachother like crap.”
The genders of the “Godspell” roles
traditionally aren’t played with much, andSchwartz hasmentionedbefore that he feelstheaters would have to be careful if castingawomanas Judas.However,whenZampelliauditioned, everyone was welcoming of theconcept.
“People don’t name their children Ju-das because of him,” she said. “I was drawnto the idea of playing someone who betrayssomebody he loves, which is a hard thing todo, and people do it all the time.Most of thetime, the people we hurt the most are thepeoplewe love themost.”
Also trying something new is Coughtry,who is appearing in his first musical sincehigh school. While classical and contempo-rary plays typically fall in hiswheelhouse, hewas interested in taking on a role outside ofhis comfort zone and learning about howmusical theaterworks.
“I was afraid of being an outsider com-ing in and not knowingwhat I was doing, orlettingaproductiondown,”he said. “But thewhole cast and crew, and our director, cho-reographer, music director, everybody has

been so amazingly positive andsupportive.”
Jones has worked on makingsure the cast has been in the rightmindset when approaching theirroles. At the beginning of the re-hearsal process, he had everyonewrite down their response to thephrase “I believe” on anotecard.
By getting in touch with theirbeliefs, the cast members can re-late to the musical’s message in-sidethemselvesrather thanfindingexternalmotivation.
“For me, faith is incrediblypersonal, it has shaped me in mylife and is hardwired into who Iam, but I don’t expect that what Ibelieve is like what anybody elsedoes,” he said. “Asking the cast totap into where they are right nowand what they believe — if theybelieve — puts them in a placewhere if they’reconfrontedwith is-sueswith faith in this story, they’recoming to it in an honest place in-dividually.”
In doing so, Jones’ “Godspell”casthasbecomeaclose-knitgroupwith individually-driven takes ontheir characters, creating a sup-
portive environment for all in-volvednomatter their ownbeliefs.Zampelli recalledaday inrehearsalwhen a discussion turned into anincredibly personal moment forher, and she felt the love and sup-port from her cast members shehadonlymetweeks prior.
“Whenyouformacommunity,it doesn’t take long to take care ofeach other,” she said. “If I can takethat experience, remembering thegoodness inpeopleandourcapac-ity to loveeachotherevenwhenwehad just started a few weeks ago,goodness knows when we startmaking connections with the au-diencewhatwill happen.”
Zampelli and everyone elseinvolvedhope thatmessageof loveand support shows through to theaudience, reachingbeyondthetextof the gospel used in themusical.
“There’s a difference betweentelling these stories to a churchcommunity and to the surround-ing region,” Jones said. “We’re notliterallypreaching to thechoirheredoing ‘Godspell;’ we’re looking atexploring the greater humanityand examining the life of an indi-vidual who fought for what he be-lieved in and challenged authority,andultimately had todie for it.”
