Outdoor Ed, a three-day,two-night residential environ-mental education program, ispart of the county curriculumfor sixth-graders. But this year,Hoover’s students are sched-uled to attend theprogramDec.17-19, coinciding with Hanuk-kah, which this year is Dec. 16-24.
A number of the school’sJewish parents asked for achange as soon as they realizedthe conflict.
Hoover Principal Yong-MiKim said she would meet withother school officials to discussalternate dates.
But in a letter dated Mon-day, Kim told parents of the de-cision from thatmeeting.
“We know thatHanukkah isan important holiday for manyof our families,” Kim wrote.“Permy earlier communicationwith you, I met with the Out-door Environmental EducationPrograms Office, the Office ofSchool Support and Improve-ment, and stakeholders fromseveral central offices to advo-cate for our students and to re-view all options available to us.After careful considerationof allpossible alternatives, the teamdetermined that thedatesof theOutdoorEducationProgramforHoover Middle School wouldbeheld as originally plannedonDecember 17th-19th.”
Kim explained that “unfor-tunately, the available dates tore-schedule Outdoor Educa-tion conflicted with previouslyscheduled events and the in-structional program at HooverMiddle School.”
She did offer three optionsfor parents and students:
• “Giveparentsandstudentsthe option to select the SmithCenter (Rockville) as the Out-
door Education site of choiceso that students can be easilypicked up as needed to attendreligious celebrations and thenreturn to the site;
• “Provide flexibility inscheduling at the Outdoor Edu-cation site so students can cel-ebrate the holiday on their ownor with family members whilestill attending theOutdoorEdu-cation Program; or
• “Excuse students fromparticipating in the OutdoorEducation Program.”
Some parents responded toKim’s letter with anger and dis-appointment.
Susan Schwartz said inan email to Kim that she is“shocked, saddened, and sodisheartened.”
“How [the school district]can decide to move forwardin such a discriminatory andthoughtlessmanner is shockingto me,” Schwartz wrote. “Didthey have the benefit of any ofthe feedback that you receivedat Hoover? Do they know justhow many members of thecommunity, both Jewish andnon-Jewish alike, have beenupsetby theunfortunate sched-
uling? Is it really that difficult tofind newdates?
“ ... Once again, we all statethe obvious, would [the schooldistrict] do this on ChristmasEve? Calling for children to besegregated out by their religionduring a school event sets usback light years and diminishesthe pain and struggles of somany people that have broughtus to the day that is today,”Schwartz wrote.
Parents Michelle BenaimandAvi Benaimalsowrote Kim.
“This is a horrible messagethat is being sent to all Jewishfamilies in your school,” Be-naimwrote. “I am an observingJew and my son will not attendany of the planned events.”
Schwartz said in an emailthat she is hopeful there will beanother review of the situationand a change of dates.
“But I would like you toplease understand that I amof the mindset that my biggesthope is still to see this come toa resolution this year thatbringseveryone a peaceful holidayseason,” shewrote.
Ruling on Hanukkah conflict angers parents
n Ending the Silencegoing into schoolswith personal stories

Every year, about 4,600Americans age 10 to 24 commitsuicide. Also each year, about157,000 youths in that age groupreceive medical care for self-inflicted injuries at emergencyrooms,according to federaldata.
The Montgomery CountyChapter of the National Allianceon Mental Illness in Rockvillewants to reduce those numbers.It’s taking a program, Endingthe Silence, into classroomsand showing students how theycan help themselves and theirfriends or relatives escape thepain of mental illness that oftenleads to suicide.
“With this program we arehoping to get peoplemore com-fortable speaking about men-tal illness,” said Myra Jacobs ofChevy Chase, a volunteer withthe program. “It’s wonderfulto know that the presentationgives someone an opportunityto get help.”
Several volunteers were atNorthwest High School in Ger-mantown on Monday, speakingto students during their healthclasses.
Theprogrampairs one adultand one young person for eachpresentation. The adult sets thescene by talking about mentalhealth statistics, warning signsof possible suicide, coping strat-egies and information on whereto get help. There also are videosto go along with the presenta-tion.
The younger member of theteam shares his personal storyof mental illness, trying to showstudents that it’s hard to knowwho is dealing with mental ill-ness, and putting a “normal”face on an illness many feelhelpless having.
Monica Aragon of Ger-mantown, now a student at theUniversity of Maryland, Col-lege Park, told the students thatshe graduated from Northwest,where she had been a good stu-dent and was a member of thepom squad. She also was suffer-ing fromdepression.
“I was one of those peoplejumping around telling studentsto be happy,” she said. “But Iwasn’t happy.”
She said one day a groupof poms were talking and shelearned that many had tried tocommit suicide or cut them-selves.
“That’swhen I realized Iwasnotalone. I [couldn’t] just alwayshope things [would] beOK,” shesaid.
After that, Aragon said, shetalked about her feelings to herfamily, which supported her.She also tried counseling, butwas not comfortable with it, soshe found coping skills to helpher get over her feelings. Shesaid she paints, keeps a journaland has a dog she loves.
“I’mOK now,” she said, “Noone is really normal. I think Iwill always be ‘not normal’ andthat’s OK.”
Aragon said she shares herstory, hoping itwill connectwithsomeone.
That is what Ending theSilence is all about and whyNorthwesthealth teacherAngelaGiuffreda asked the nonprofit tobring it to her school.
“I think [students] havemore pressure at home and atschool, socially and with socialmedia,” Giuffreda said. “Selfharm has increased and thereare more attempts at suicide.Thismessage is a good one.”
The volunteers tell studentsto speak to their friends if theysuspect they are consideringsuicide, talk to a trusted adult oruse one of these resources: TeenLine, 310-855-4673, open from9 p.m. to 1 a.m.; text “TEEN”8398622; or call the NationalSuicide Prevention Lifeline at800-273-8255.

THE FHA BRIDALREGISTRY
One of the biggest hurdles first time homebuyers face is how to save enough moneyfor the down payment on a new home. Oneway to get financial help is to make use ofthe little known FHA Bridal RegistryProgram. Created in 1996 by the U. S.Department of Housing and UrbanDevelopment (HUD), this program allowsfamily and friends to make gift payments toa special interest bearing account that is setaside specifically for your home purchase.
The advantage of this program is that thepaperwork is much simpler than ordinaryfinancial gift requirements, and there is nolimit to how large the gift can be.
Even though the program was designed tohelp marrying couples, it also coversindividuals and unmarried couples as well.
So if you would rather have your friends andfamily help you with buying a new homeinstead of getting you another toaster, talk toyour lender about setting up an FHA BridalRegistry.

n Plan to use datato determine how to help
BY LINDSAY A. POWERS
STAFFWRITER
Montgomery Countyschools are using a new tool de-signed to detect signs early onthat a student might need helpto graduate on time.
The schoolboardheardat itsMonday meeting a presentationabout the Early Warning Indica-tors online tool that launchedthis school year.
The tool takes into accountfactors from four areas of a stu-dent’s education: attendance,behavior, coursework and mo-bility.Mobility refers toa student
unexpectedly enteringor leavinga school.
Geoffrey T. Sanderson, as-sociate superintendent of thesystem’s Office of Shared Ac-countability, told the board thatschool system researchers ana-lyzed records of students in theclasses of 2011, 2012 and 2013,studying what happened overthe course of their educationsince the first grade.
The researchers determinedthat these four areas contributedto how students perform, hesaid, and tracking these factorscan “determine the trajectorythey are on.”
Using a series of equations,the tool takes thedata fromtheseareas to calculate the likelihooda student will graduate on time.
School officials saidMondaythat the tool is aimed at helpingstaff catch signs in these areasearly on so that a school canintervene and support studentswhere they need it. It will alsohelp staff understand what levelof support a student may need— low,mediumor high.
“It is proactive,” Sandersonsaid. “It’s about as real-time asI believewe can get these days.”
Superintendent Joshua P.Starr said the tool uses studentdata that schools already havebut puts it together “in a waythat creates opportunity for ac-tion.”
Early Warning Indicatorscan generate data at multiplelevels, including for the district,a school, a student group or an
individual student. A student’sprofile will include factors inthe four areas that can be warn-ing signs — such as their atten-dance, performance on certaintests and any suspensions — aswell as other information.
The school system plans torespondtostudentneedsthrougheffortsat individual schools, in thesystem’s central office and withoutsidepartners.Someissuesthataffect students, such as food andhousing insecurity, Starr said, willrequire the system to work withothers in thecounty.
Starr said the system hasused schools’ rates of studentswho receive free and reducedprice meals to determine whereto allocate resources in the past.Performance must now play apart in that process, he said.
“We can actually use thesedata systemwide to look at that,”
he said.The tool is not done and
“there are many unansweredquestions,” Starr said. The sys-temwill look at how schools usethe tool this year and determineeffectiveways it was used.
SchoolboardmemberChris-topher S. Barclay asked schoolofficials who made the presen-tation exactly what “triggers ac-tion”whenastudent showsearlywarning signs.
Sanderson said the “net ef-fect” of all the factors is consid-ered to determine what kind ofsupport a studentmay need.
The school system shouldbe “cautious” as it uses the tool,board member Michael Dursosaid, saying itmight lead schoolsto “unintentionally” create an-other label for students who arestruggling.
Board Vice President Patri-
cia O’Neill said she is also con-cerned about possible labels.
“I don’t want a child in thirdgrade to be labeled as, this is ourfuture dropout,” she said.
Starr said school officialshaddebated the issueof labelingstudents. The tool is expected toidentify that a student is strug-gling and needs help, he said,but then that needwill bemet.
“This is all about interveningearly and breaking cycles thatexist,” he said.
Boardmember JudithDoccasaid she thinks principals are al-ready aware that the factors thetool analyzes can indicate a stu-dentmight be facing problems.
“I think that’s the importantpart of this conversation, thatwe’re going to be giving sometools to our staff as to what todo with the things they do seealready,” she said.

n Repairs slated to bringRedGate up to par
BY RYANMARSHALLSTAFFWRITER
Staff at Rockville’s RedGategolf course will work on gettingits bunkers and other areas re-paired tomake the coursemoreinviting for players.
The bunkers are the “weakspot on the golf course,” saidDan Evers, director of agron-omy for Billy Casper Golf,which leased the course fromthe city in 2011.Officials plan tospend $20,000 on the bunkersin the next year, he said.
Evers and other companyrepresentatives briefed theRockville mayor and council attheirmeetingMonday night.
Evers said the course’sfairways and greens have im-proved, and the staff is workingwith the city arborist to makesure it’s complying with rulesfor thinning some trees around
the tees on several holes.Memberships have risen
each year since the companytook over the lease, accordingto a city report, increasing from106 in 2012 to 119 in 2013 and130 from January to June thisyear.
The course faces a signifi-cant challenge in competingwith the nine courses run byMontgomery County, saidBrian Wilcox, the course’s gen-eralmanager.
The changes to the coursegenerated praise from some lo-cal golfers who spokeMonday.
Sean Gasque of Rockvillesaidhe’s anavid golferwhofirstplayed RedGate in 1976.
He stopped going six yearsago because the course was“unplayable,” he said.
ButGasque saidhe’s played12 times this year, and whilethe course still needs work, it’smuch better now.
JohnKemple of Kensingtontold themayor and council thathe’s played at RedGate since
1980 and the bunkers on thecourse are “horrible.”
Mayor Bridget DonnellNewton said she hopes thecourse’s staff puts more of anemphasis on areas that af-fect the experience of golfers,such as repairing bunkers and
greens, than onmaking repairsto other areas at the facility.
Newton said she’d like tosee the see the course go backto submitting annual reportson its operations to the city.

n Deer involved in 143crashes in city in 2013
BY RYANMARSHALLSTAFFWRITER
Deer were involved in 143vehicle crashes on Rockvilleroads in 2013, the most in sixyears, according to a report bythe city’s recreation and parksdepartment.
The report comes as officialsconsider ways to deal with thepopulations of deer that live inits parks and woodlands, andsometimes in the backyards ofthe city’s neighborhoods.
The number of crashes re-ported isonlypart of the issue, asmany incidents go unreported,said Steve Mader, superinten-dant of parks and facilities forRockville.
The 143 incidents reflect thenumber of dead deer that arefound in city rights of way.
In 2008, there were 133 re-ports. The numbers range from109 in 2011 to the 143 in 2013.
Incidents tend to increase inOctober,NovemberandDecem-ber as the deer become moreactive during mating season,Mader said.
According to the report, from2008 to 2013, themonthwith themost incidents was November,with 141, followed by Octoberwith 102 andDecemberwith 62.
In 2013, the cityplacedadig-ital signwarningdrivers towatchfor deer at six locations aroundthe city for oneweek.
It’s difficult to measure theeffort’s impact, but several deerwere found in the roadwaywithin amile of the sign, accord-ing to the report.
In 2013, the city used gamecameras to try to estimate deerpopulations at two locations.
A camera in Rockmead Parknext to Fallsmead ElementarySchool estimated a populationof 36 to 40 deer in the 100 acresaround the park, and asmany as230 deer per square mile in thatlocation.
Another camera at a LowerWatts Branch location betweenScott Drive and Wootton Park-way next to Thomas S. Woot-ton High School estimated apopulation of 10 to 12 deer inthe surrounding 100 acres, andanywhere from 62 to 77 deer persquaremile.
Theaveragedeer inanurbanarea lives six to 10 years, Madersaid.
Mader, the mayor and CityCouncil alsodiscussed the threatof Lyme disease that is transmit-ted by the so-called deer tick,officially known as the black-legged tick.
Montgomery County hadabout 300 cases in 2011, al-though there’s no way to tellwhether those cases were con-tracted in the county, Madersaid.
He said thereareabout 1,200cases per year statewide.
Although the tick thatspreads thedisease is oftenasso-ciatedwith deer, it is carried by avariety ofmammals,Mader said.
There’s evidence on bothsides of the argument onwhether reducing the size of alocaldeerherd reduces thenum-ber of cases of Lyme disease, hesaid.

n Bethesda Republican runningfor House in District 16
BY ELIZABETHWAIBELSTAFFWRITER
John Andrews, a Republican run-ning for the House of Delegates in Dis-trict 16, says economic growth is one ofhis toppriorities.“I think that the business climate is
a huge one—making sure that the eco-nomic conditions are favorable for ...growth,” he said.Andrews said the state needs lower
taxes and pro-growth energy andtransportation policies. For a start, thatmeansdevelopingthestate’snaturalgasresources by drilling in Western Mary-landandallowing exports in the easternpart of the state.“I think that would be a huge eco-
nomic boon to the state, as well as con-tributing to increased energy stability,”he said. “More, cheaper energy is goodfor everyone, and it will also reduce ourreliance onout-of-state coal.”He alsowants to increase the state’s
use of nuclear energy, and he supportsexpanding the Calvert Cliffs plant inLusby.Andas for transportation?“Kill thePurpleLine,”Andrews said.
“Thatwill not reducecongestion. I thinkour transportation priorities should beallabout reducingcongestionandkeep-ing our infrastructure safe.”The proposed 16-mile light-rail link
between Bethesda and New Carrolltonwill not reduce traffic because somuchmore housing is expected to be builtnear future Purple Line stations, An-drews said.“Thewhole point of the Purple Line
is to increase development,” he said.Rather than building the Purple
Line, Andrews said, Maryland officialsshould prioritize a second crossing
over the PotomacRiver in Mont-gomery County,either by expand-ing the AmericanLegion bridge ontheCapitalBeltwayor building a sec-ondbridge.Healsosupports restrict-ing revenues fromthe gas tax to building andmaintainingroads, bridges and tunnels, rather thantransit projects.Andrews, a Tennessee native who
haslivedinBethesdaforaboutfiveyears,said he has become more interested inlocal politics the longer he’s lived in thearea.TheMontgomeryCountyRepubli-cans asked if hewould run for House inDistrict 16, andhe accepted.A Republican candidate running
in the Democratic stronghold of Mont-gomery County, Andrews said it’s im-portant toprioritizepolicieswithappealonboth sides of the aisle.One such bipartisan issue is redis-
tricting. Andrews said he wants to seethe state adopt a nonpartisan redis-tricting system, preferably an indepen-dent board using a computer programto guide redrawing voting districts. Apanel appointed by the governor drewthe current district maps, which somehavecriticizedasgivinganadvantage toDemocratic candidates.“If you look at the map of our con-
gressional districts, it’s horrible, and it’sa disgrace,” he said.Another issue that doesn’t cut
squarely along partisan lines is schoolchoice, Andrews said. There is somesupport for school choice in Baltimore,he said, and even in MontgomeryCounty, whose schools are among thebest in the nation, there is room for im-provement, particularly in fields suchas math and science that are especiallyimportant
to the economy.Andrewssaidhesupports settingup
an independent board to oversee char-ter schools in the state, rather than let-ting local school boards oversee them.“The school boards ... tend to be
controlled by the teachers unions —they have a vested interest in not ex-pandingcharterschools,”Andrewssaid.“Iwould change that.”Children should have the oppor-
tunity to go to the best school in theirneighborhood, Andrews said, whetherthat is a public school or not. He saidhe would support opportunity scholar-ships, similar to thoseavailable inWash-ington,D.C., forstudentswitheconomicneed.Andrews said he is worried about
Common Core standards, which havestarted affecting curriculum in publicschools in thepast couple of years.“I think they’re weak in many
places,” especially math, he said. “Ithink that providing concerned parentswith alternatives to traditional publicschools, particularly programs that fo-cus on science, technology, engineeringandmath,wouldbebeneficialwhentheschools are as relatively goodas theyareinMontgomeryCounty.”Election Day is Nov. 4. District 16
covers Bethesda, Chevy Chase and partof Potomac, and voters elect three del-egates.TheotherRepublicancandidates for
House are Rose Li and Lynda del Cas-tillo.Democratic incumbentsWilliamC.“Bill” Frick andArianaKelly are runningfor re-election,andnewcomerMarcKo-rman is also running as aDemocrat.More information about Andrews

n Pilot program will design,but not build, a microgrid
BY TERRIHOGANSTAFFWRITER
Aftersevereweather leftOlney inthedark several times in the past few years,a study is underway that could preventlongpower outages.Olneywas recently selected for two-
year pilot program by the U.S. Depart-mentofEnergythat involvesamicrogridproject for its town center that could bea model for the future of electric powerservice.A microgrid is a small-scale power
grid that can operate independentlyor in conjunction with the area’s mainelectrical grid.The project is to design and study
a microgrid modeled for Olney TownCenter, but does not include construc-tionof themicrogrid.County Councilwoman Nancy Na-
varro (D-Dist. 4) of Silver Spring, whorepresents Olney, said she supports thestudy and selection of the Olney TownCenter location.Navarro urged the project team to
selectOlney as a test community.“The Olney Town Center and the
immediateareaserveahighlypopulatedresidential community and offer a widevariety of essential services, including ahospital and medical facilities, schools,fire and police stations, supermarkets,banks and gas stations,” she said in astatement. “During major events thatcause wide-spread outages, providinguninterrupted electric service to criticalcommunity assets like these will offersignificantassistance in thecoordinatedresponse topublic emergencies.”The Department of Energy’s Na-
tional Energy Technology Laboratoryrecently selected a team led by the Mi-crogrid Institute to design, simulateand test microgrid control systems fortwo Maryland communities served byPepco: Olney and Ritchie Station Mar-ketplace in Largo.The agency is expected to provide
about $1.2million for theproject duringa two-year periodbeginning this year.Michael Burr, director of the Mi-
crogrid Institute, said Olney Town Cen-ter is an ideal setting for a communitymicrogrid.Burr said the idea is to increase local
resilience to storms and other causes ofwidespreadoutages.“If a community has local power
generators and the ability to managethe electricity output from those gener-ators, then that community will be ableto better maintain vital public servicesthroughutilityoutages,”he said. “That’sthe basic idea of a microgrid — to keepthe lights on locally during a utility out-age.”Burr said whether amicrogrid actu-
ally ever gets built in Olney depends onthe answers tomanyquestions.“This project will seek to answer
some of those questions — specificallythe ones involving how a microgridcould actually function in Olney,” hesaid. “Butmany other questions will re-main to be answered outside the scopeof thisDOEprogram.”The program will take two years to
complete, from initial system designthrough lab test reporting.“After that, the lessons learned from
this research will be available to helpother projects develop community mi-crogrids, potentially at Olney and else-where,” Burr said.

n Taxes, transportation,immigration among
focuses of campaign
BY RYANMARSHALL
STAFFWRITER
When Adol T. Owen-Wil-liams got his first paycheck fromhis job at Rockville’s Raindancerrestaurant in summer 1980, hewas puzzled.
He had worked 40 hours at$5 an hour, but the check wasfor only $127, and Owen-Wil-liams was left wondering wherethe other $73 had gone.
These days, as a financialadviser, he understands thattaxes are taken out of a pay-check before the worker gets it.
But he would like to usehis financial knowledge to help“macro-manage” the county’sbudget as a member of theMontgomery County Council.
He is seeking one of the fourat-large council seats, alongwith fellow Republicans ShelleySkolnick, Robert Dyer andChrisP. Fiotes, Green Party candidateTimWillard andDemocratic in-cumbents Marc Elrich, Nancy
F l o r e e n ,George L.Leventhaland HansRiemer.
If he’se l e c t e d ,Owen-Wil-liams said,he wouldcall for anaudit to identify the many re-dundancies the county spendsmoney on.
“I’ve searched for years. Idon’t knowwhat the budget is,”he said.
Owen-Williams said he per-sonally knows at least 20 peoplewho have left the county in thepast three years because of thetaxes and the amount it costs tolive here.
Unless someone is gettinggovernment assistance or mak-ing more than $100,000 a year,it’s very hard to live in Mont-gomery, he said.
He’s concerned about the
extent towhich the county relieson government jobs to feed itseconomy, and would like to seemore jobs such as telemarketingcome back toMontgomery.
Owen-Williams said hethinks that for security rea-sons the federal governmentwill eventually disperse manyfederal agencies to various lo-cations around the country,drastically hurting Montgom-ery’s economy.
“When they go, we’re goingto becomeDetroit,” he said.
Transportation in thecounty is a major quality-of-lifeissue for residents, and is emo-tionally andphysically draining,he said.
The problem goes beyondjust Interstate 270, he said, cit-ing several problem areas nearhis North Potomac home.
Healsowould like to seeoneor perhaps two more bridgesbuilt from Maryland across thePotomac River into Virginia.
Owen-Williams also criti-
cized the county’s “very liberalillegal immigration policy.”
The son of African immi-grants, Owen-Williams said hestrongly supports immigrationbut it’s not fair when illegal im-migrants cut in line in front ofpeople who are waiting theirturn.
“I am extremely pro-immi-gration,” Owen-Williams said.“I wouldn’t be here if I wasn’t.”
Owen-Williams ran for thecouncil in 2006 and for the stateSenate against Sen. Jennie Fore-hand (D-Dist. 17) in 2010, bothtimes unsuccessfully.
To spread his message thistime, he said, he goes door-to-door and speaks wherever hecan.
He also makes appearancesthrough the county’s Republi-canCentral Committee, he said.
“I’m wherever I can be,” hesaid.

n GOP congressionalhopeful says jobs
is key issue
BY PEGGY MCEWAN
STAFF WRITER
Dan Bongino knows that aRepublican running for Con-gress in Maryland has an uphillbattle, but it’s one he believesmust be fought.
He is also 100 percent confi-dent he will win, he said.
Bongino, 39, is challeng-ing the one-term Democraticincumbent, John K. Delaney ofPotomac, in the 6th District.
Bongino spent 12 years as aSecret Service agent, protectingPresidents George W. Bush andBarack Obama, among otherduties.
He resigned in 2011 and“began a grassroots campaignfor the U.S. Senate against thefeared Maryland DemocraticMachine,” according to hiswebsite. He lost that race toDemocrat Benjamin Cardin ofPikesville.
“Isawtheproblemofexplod-ing bureaucracy and wanted todo something,” Bongino said.“We’ve really lost touch withrepresenting the people. The
rules thatapply to theelite D.C.ruling classdon’t applyto the rankand file.Good peo-ple need tostand up.”
Bonginowrote a book about his views ofinsider Washington, “Life Insidethe Bubble: Why a Top-RankedSecret Service Agent WalkedAway from It All.”
He said the most importantissue facing the 6th District isjobs.
“Every issue is important,but you have to triage,” he said.“The biggest problem we haveis the job environment in Mary-land. The unemployment ratejust went up again.”
Bongino compared Garrettand Allegany counties to SouthDakota in terms of the abun-dance of shale oil, a resource toconsider in terms of unemploy-ment and tax revenue, he said.
Asked about hydraulic frac-turing, or fracking, a methodof injecting high-pressure fluidinto the ground to get that oilout, Bongino said, “I’m a sup-porter of local control. They canmake that decision. The ques-
tion is, Is the tax revenue worthit? The downsides are far out-weighed by [the positive].”
He is favors a balanced bud-get, by controlling spending.
“The solutions are out there,but there’s nobody with the gutsto do something about it,” hesaid. “Nobody’s talking aboutit.”
District 6 covers a long swathof Maryland, running from thefar western border to the Capi-tal Beltway and River Road inBethesda. It includes Allegany,Garrett and Washington coun-ties, plus parts of Frederick andMontgomery. George Gluck ofthe Green Party also is runningfor the seat.
Bongino lives with his wifeand two daughters in SevernaPark. Congressional representa-tives need not live in the districtthey represent, just in the state.
Bongino said that, if elected,hewouldmove to thedistrict, al-though he said it is not an issuewith voters.
“I have knocked on 15,000doors and it’s never come up,”he said.

Farquhar, at 16915 Batch-ellors Forest Road, was built in1968, and except for the additionof a gymnasium, has not beenmodernized.
Earlier planswouldhave sentstudents to the Tilden HoldingCenter in Bethesda, while theschoolwas razed and rebuilt.
Parents, not wanting their
children to be bused across thecounty, lobbied for a “swap” in-volving a 17.9-acre property justnorthof the existing school prop-erty.
The property was designatedas rural open space, as part of theapproval for the housing devel-opment under construction onthe opposite side of BatchellorsForest Road. The property is rec-ommended for use as a park inthe 2005OlneyMaster Plan.
“Ourwork is done,” said par-entTroyKimmel,Farquharmod-ernization chairman for boththe Farquhar and Brooke Grove
Elementary School PTAs, aftertestifying before the board. “Thisis a real win for the community,and we couldn’t be happier withthe outcome. Farquhar’s high-demand fields stay in use whilethe new school is built, our kidsaren’t bused halfway across thecounty and the community getsa new school and a new park in2016.”
Kimmel praised the coop-eration between the board andschool system, “especially by thededicated employees who havegone out of their way to help thekids and community.”
Farquhar PTA PresidentChelsea Curtis credits the Olneycommunity, which she calledstrong andunified.
“Theywillfinallyberewardedfor their perseverance with thisproject,” she said. “Farquhar’snewfacilitywill bemore than justa school building. It will serve thecommunity at large in so manydifferentways.”
The Hyde family, which haslived adjacent to the new schoolparcel for decades, had opposedthe swap and made several legal
attempts to thwart it.“Although we still believe
that the process to get here wasflawed, we finally feel that [theschool system’s] staff, particu-larly Mr. Craig Shuman, realizedthat this has a dramatic and pre-viously unrecognized impact onourwayof life and theymade theneeded adjustments to their siteand building design,” TomHydesaid. “It is a shame theextent thatwe had to go to have our con-cerns recognized.
“All that being said, we un-
derstand that this has the po-tential to be of great benefit tothe community and we wishthem success going forward,” headded.
SchoolsystemspokeswomanGboyindeOnijalasaid theprojectis still in the design phase and of-ficials are working to obtain per-mits and approvals.

Tofig also wrote that the cer-tifications required tobea schoolpsychologist are not the sameas those needed to be a clinicalpsychologist—andFlemmerap-pears to have had the necessarylicense from the Maryland StateDepartment of Education to be aschool psychologist.
A spokesman for the Mary-land State Department of Edu-cation confirmedMonday that aDavidFlemmerheldanadvancedprofessional certificate in schoolpsychology — issued by the de-partment — from July 2003 untilJune 2013. Flemmer had a mas-ter’sdegree inclinicalpsychologyfromLoyolaCollege inMaryland,according to the spokesman.The records office of the school—which became Loyola Univer-sity in 2009 — confirmed that aDuane David Flemmer receiveda master’s degree in clinical psy-chology from the school, butcould not say when. The Flem-mer in Loyola’s records has thesamebirthdayas theDuaneDon-aldFlemmer listed inonlinecourtrecords.
The school system had nothad a chance to review the law-suit as of Friday and generallydoes not comment on litigation,Tofigwrote.
“We have no idea howmanykids he counseled. We have noidea howmany parents he coun-seled,” saidRonaldA.Karp,Hall’s
attorney. “We have no idea howmany lives hewrecked.”
The lawsuit claims that Hallwas “wrongly deprived” of theadvice and care of hismother forseveral months after Flemmer’stestimony.
The lawsuit — in whichFlemmer’s estate is named asco-defendent — seeks damagesfor fraud, infliction of emotionaldistress, and negligent hiring, re-tention and supervision.
“It’s difficult to believe theyactually checked out any of hiscredentials,” Karp said.
The report from the Mary-landBoardof ProfessionalCoun-selors and Therapists states thatFlemmer applied for a job as apsychologist with an unnamedemployer in North Dakota in2010. He presented a resumeclaiming he was a “Maryland Li-censed Psychologist,” as well asfake licensesostensiblyproducedby the Maryland State Board ofExaminers of Psychologists anda forged letter claiming Flemmerhad held a psychology licensecontinuously since 1998, the re-port said.
The report also indicatedFlemmer claimed to have com-pleted accredited doctorate pro-grams inpsychology, but a boardinvestigation found those pro-gramswerenot accredited.
Flemmer alsowas anadjunctprofessorofeducationalpsychol-ogy at Johns Hopkins Universityin Baltimore from 2000 to 2011.Jim Campbell, a school spokes-man, said that when Flemmerbegan teaching, only a master’sdegreewasneeded tobecomeanadjunct professor.

to impose on county property.InanApril 2013 letter, Beach
argued that the city’s billingprocess created extra work forcounty staff who had to removethe charge from property re-cords to avoid the fees turningup on delinquency notices andother paperwork.
As a result of the letter, thecity did not bill the county in fis-cal 2014 or fiscal 2015, Charlessaid.
Without a change in state
law, it’s unlikely the countywould change its position, lead-ing to thecurrent“stalemate”onthe stormwater issue, he said.
At its Sept. 8 meeting, thecity’s mayor and council madethe stormwater issue an item tomonitor in the General Assem-bly’s upcoming session, whichstarts in January.
If the government agen-cies were subject to the fee, thecountyschoolsystemwouldowe$236,861 for fiscal 2015, Mont-gomery College $100,374 andMontgomery County $126,281,according to a memorandum
fromRockville city staff.According to thememo, city
staffandthecity’s lobbyist inAn-napolis will watch for legislationand any discussions that couldlead to a bill to require ownersof public property to pay thestormwater fees.
The city began billing of itsstormwater fee for all propertiesin the city in July 2009, Charlessaid.
The money goes to run thecity’s stormwater program,which helps mitigate pollutionfromrunoffofbuildings,parkinglotsandstreetsbybuilding treat-
ment systems, ways to movestormwater and improved floodcontrol projects, he said.
Rockville getsmany benefitsfrom being the county seat, butthe stormwater fee is one waythe city is hurt, Rockville MayorBridgetDonnellNewton said.
The county’s failure to paymeans other ratepayers mustpay more, and everyone shouldshare the burden for these envi-ronmental protections, she said.
“It really goes to the issue offairness,” she said.

n Council candidatesays inner suburbs arepushing out non-elites
BY RYANMARSHALLSTAFFWRITER
As a candidate from District1 for the Montgomery CountyCouncil, JimKirklandwould liketo help Bethesda find its innerex-urb.
Kirkland, who has lived inBethesdaformostofhis57years,says the inner suburbs of thecountyhave turned into ahavenfor elites who have crowded outmore blue-collar residents fromthe area.
District1 is largeanddiverse,stretching from theWashingtonsuburbs of Bethesda, ChevyChase,PotomacandKensingtonthrough western Montgomeryto the Frederick County bordernorth of Poolesville.
He is challenging incum-bentDemocratRogerBerlinerofBethesda, who has representedthedistrict since 2006.
K i r k -land de-s c r i b e shimself asa “libertar-ian-style”Republicanand said hewould liketo bringmore of arural feel back to the inner sub-urbs.
Kirkland, who operates alawn care business, is basingpartofhiscampaignonpropertyand vehicle rights, fighting whathe called unfair restrictions onwork trucks, small recreationve-hicles and trailers.
Part of the reason peoplebuy detached homes is to getaway from rules imposed bylandlords, he said.
Kirkland said he and othershave been harassed by peoplelooking to make Bethesda amore exclusive center of white-collar professionals.
He also would like thecounty to encourage companies
to set upmultiple shifts ofwork-ers to reduce traffic in the areaandhelppromotenightlife.
UnderKirkland’splan, com-panieswouldhaveolderworkersor ones with families come in at9 a.m. and leave at 5 p.m., whileyoungerworkerswould come ina fewhours later andwork later.
Kirkland said the changewould help reduce rush hourtraffic, plus boost the county’snightlife by letting youngerworkers go out at night duringthe week because they wouldbe able to go in to work later thenextmorning.
Kirkland said the countypolice should stop conductingdrunken driving checkpointsbecause itpreventssomepeoplefromcasual diningby intimidat-ing them from moderate socialdrinking, he said.
Montgomery County losesmillionsofdollarsbecausemanyyoung people choose to go intoWashington when they go out,and even choose to live thererather than in the county be-cause it provides more nightlife
options, he said.Thenightlife scene inMont-
gomery is “comatose,” and a re-port last year from a county taskforce on improving the county’snightlife missed the mark onwhat changes needed to bemade, he said.

Kirkland seeks blue-collar voters in District 1
n His five-point planincludes legalizing marijuana
and lowering taxes

ShawnQuinndidnotget intopoliticsexpecting to run for governor of Mary-land.
Instead, the 52-year-old Lusby resi-dent — who ran unsuccessfully in 2010for theHouseofDelegates inDistrict29C— said hewas looking to be a lieutenantgovernor candidate.
But the Libertarian Party convincedQuinn that his energy and ideas werewhat theparty needed in a governor.
“They’re like, ‘You are our candi-date,’” he said.
Quinn accepted his party’s nomi-nation and is running for Marylandgovernor as a Libertarian along with his
running mate Lo-renzo Gaztanaga.Of the two, Gaz-tanaga has moreexperience in poli-tics and running foroffice, but likes tohelp more than helikes to lead, Quinnsaid.
Quinn faces Lt. Gov. Anthony G.Brown (D) and Larry Hogan (R) in theNov. 4 election.
He might not have intended to runfor governor, butQuinnhas hit the cam-paign trailhard, travelingacross thestatespeaking to asmanygroups and individ-uals as possible.
Quinnisrunningonafive-pointplanthat includeseight-year termlimits forallelected officials, lowering the state salestax to3percent, legalizingmarijuana, re-viewing the state’s regulations and con-densing the lawson thebooks.
“I believe that the government issupposed to represent the people,” hesaid, adding thataQuinnadministrationwouldhave twohours eachday set asidefor citizens to come talk to their gover-nor. “You don’t see that in governmentthese days. They have their own visionand you need to get in line or get out oftheway.”
He said his administration wouldturn to, not away, the ideas of citizens.
“I don’t know everything. I’m just acommoneveryday guy,” he said.
However, Maryland has too manylaws on the books, and those laws areforcingbusinesses out of state, he said.
“If we can get some businesses tostayhere,wecanget jobs,”hesaid. “Ifwecan get jobs, we can getmore tax dollarsfor the state.”
Quinn said he would use the powerof the veto to stop new legislation if nec-essary.
“If they write a bill that’s more than
10 pages, I’m going to veto it,” he said.“Because if it’s more than 10 pages,they’re trying to hide stuff from the peo-ple.”
He said he would also veto any billnot in understandable, everyday lan-guage.
As formarijuana,Quinn said thewarondrugs is awasteofmoney.QuinnsaidMarylanders’ taxes pay to keep inmatesinprisonondrugcharges.Oncereleased,ex-convicts often struggle to find jobsand support themselves and their fami-lies, relying on state services.
Treatingmarijuanathesamewaythestate treats alcohol and cigarettesmakesmore sense, he said. And the moneygenerated by taxing marijuana couldfundrehabilitationcenters for thosewhostrugglewithdrug addiction.
“If we need a war, we need a war onaddiction, not ondrugs,” he said.
Beyondhisfive-pointplan, if elected,he saidhewouldwork to reduce theper-
sonal income tax to 2 percent across theboardwithnodeductions.
Like most Libertarians, Quinn be-lieves law-abiding citizens who don’tharm others should be left alone by thegovernment.
“As you can see, I’m big on people’srights,” he said. “I’m probably the onlyone running saying, ‘if it’s one of yourrights, it should be defended.’ I didn’tspend 20 years overseas getting shot atforus to sit thereandsay it’sOKtoget ridof this or that right.”
Quinnspent20years intheU.S.Navyas an aviation electrician and air crew-man.He saidhe retired fromtheNavy in2000 andwent towork as a deputy sher-iff in Newport News, Va., and then a citycorrectionsofficerbeforemovingbacktoMaryland todrive a truckhauling jet fuelfor a contractor at the Patuxtent RiverNaval Air Station in LexingtonPark.

Editor,As chairman of theMontgomery County
Council’s Transportation, Infrastructure,Energy and Environment Committee, I wasproud to lead our Council to a 9-0 vote insupport of the county’s bus rapid transit(BRT) initiative. Blair Lee uses a recent col-umn to argue that we are making a costlymistake (Bus RapidMadness, Sept 10). He iswrong. A BRT system using dedicated laneswithWiFi that runs every 10minuteswill at-tract “riders of choice.” Commuting will bebetter not worse.
Mr. Lee argues that the county can ill af-ford a $2 billion system. That is a classic redherring. No one suggested that we will buildthe entire system at once. Rather we will fo-cus onMd. 355 andU.S. 29. This we can do.
Property values throughout the countywill increase andmore businesseswill locatehere. Our county needs a strong tax base toprovide the quality of services our residentsneed and desire.
Roger Berliner, Bethesda
CouncilmanBerliner,Your letter is longonbluster andwishful
thinking and short on rebuttal. You duckedall the tough questions such as:
• Cost. You and your colleagues remainmumonwho’s going topayBRT’s $2billion(and growing) capital cost and $89 million(and growing) annual operating deficit?There’s no BRT money in the federal, stateor county budgets, I checked. Not to worry,you say, because you’re going to build BRTin phases starting with U.S. 29 and Md.355. “This we can do,” you say. Who’s “we”and what’s “can do”? Delay more schoolconstruction to build BRT? Would you buysomething if the salesmanwouldn’t tell youhow much it costs and who’s going to payfor it?
• Logistics. You paint a pretty picture ofhappy commuters enjoying their laptopswhile zipping to work on sleek BRT buses.Amore realistic scenario is this: I wait in therain outside my home for a feeder bus totakeme to a BRT depot that lacks any park-
ing. I board the BRTbus which drops meoff eight blocks frommy workplace so Iwait for a local bus(it’s still raining) toget me there. Afterwork, it’s the sameprocess, in reverse.You call this “im-proved mobility”,I call it waiting forthree buses.
Nor do you ex-plain how motorists
make turns across BRT lanes or negotiateintersectionswhere BRTbuses have “trafficsignal priority.” Montgomery’s own trafficdata forecasts a 79-minute rush-hour com-mute for U.S. 29 motorists inching the 2½miles between the White Oak ShoppingCenter and the Beltway. Is that your idea ofmaking “commuting lifebetter, notworse”?
• Tax Base. After decades of drivingaway businesses and taxpayers, countyofficials suddenly face a fiscal crisis. Sothey’re approving mega-projects while re-laxing traffic standards. BRT is the fig leafthat’s supposed to cover this retreat fromadequate trafficmanagement.
You say “more businesses will locatehere.” But your colleague, CouncilmanMarc Elrich says special property taxes onbusinesses will pay for BRT. So what’s Mo-Co’s pitch, “relocate your business here tohelp pay billions for BRT”? Good luck withthat.
As part owner of a commercial real es-tate firm, I’m all for growing the tax base.But I’m not writing this as a businessman,I’m writing this as a resident taxpayer andmotorist. Andwhen the rest ofMoCo’s resi-dentsdiscoverwhat you’reup to, there’s go-ing to be hell to pay.
DearMr. Lee,Thank you for being the sole voice of
reason regarding BRT. I have lived inMont-gomery County since 1970 and ama lifelong
liberal. Never in that time have I seen such adumbandexpensive idea. I live right offU.S.29 and am also a “treehugger” environmen-talist. With that said, I can assure you thatI would never take BRT as it is cheaper andmore convenient to drive. And if that’s theway an environmentalist feels, imagine howmymore normal neighbors feel.
Youmention that the county is trying toprotect its tax base. Does the county realizethat if BRT is implemented, home valuesbordering the routes will likely go down fur-ther eroding the tax base?
Allan Vecchione, Silver Spring
Allan,Thewhole point of BRT is tomake driv-
ing so painful by reducing traffic lanes thatweall takeBRTbuses. CouncilmanBerlinercalls them “riders of choice,” I call them“riders of force.”
Blair
Mr. Lee,Thanks for pointing out some of the
many idiocies of the BRT scheme in your re-cent Gazette column.
I noticed the letter published below yourcolumn supported BRT and touted theMAXprogram in Kansas City. A quick review ofMAX shows that it is not a useful example— it is a single, six-mile long linear route,and in the decade plus it has been there, hasspurred no appreciable economic develop-ment. Somuch for great examples.
ChipHeartfield
Chip,I guess most businesses hesitate to
move to a county run by people dumbenough to support a BRT.

The Greater Washington economy hasbeen more seriously impacted by the re-cession than previously thought. Accord-ing to George Mason University economistStephen Fuller, “In relative terms, we areworse than Detroit … we need business in-vestment that supports value-added jobs ...we need to attract companies with higher-paying jobs.”
In order to attract and grow jobs inMontgomery County and the Washington,D.C., region, we must develop a work forcetomeet the needs of employers. To do that,we must re-evaluate the value we place onskills. If we fail to, the skills gap — the gapbetween the skills a work force has and theskills employers demand—will only widenand employers will continue to grow theirbusinesses in other communities.
There isdisagreementbetweenemploy-ers and educators about how prepared stu-dents are for the workplace. According to arecent McKinsey report, 87 percent of edu-cators believe studentswithpost-secondaryeducation are prepared for the workplace,compared to less than half of all employers.This disparity is even more alarming giventhat the Harvard Business School has re-ported that nearly two-thirds ofU.S. jobs re-quire some education beyond a high schooldegree and 85 percent of jobs in Marylandand Washington also require additionalschooling.
It is important for employers and jobseekers to recognize that more educationdoesn’t necessarily mean a four-year col-lege degree. A Brookings Institute studyfound that 50percentof STEMcareersdon’trequirea four-yeardegree, and furtherhigh-lights that nearly 30 percent of associate’sdegree recipients in theU.S. earnmore thanthosewith a bachelor’s degree.
Effectively, what all studies point to isthe growing need for developing the skillsemployersaredemanding.Butevenif some-one sets out to pursue a “demand-driven”approach to education, it’s difficult to finda scholastic path that aligns educational of-ferings to employer needs. Though a simpleconcept, it’s not how most education pro-viders or employers are currently designedto operate. Historically, those who hire andthosewhoeducatehavenot communicatedeffectively. It’s time to change this.
A critical first step in this new approachis for local employers to identify the skillsthey actually need to hire and shift awayfromtraditional, vague jobdescriptionprox-ies like “years of experience.” Doing so willclarify the functions a candidate should beable to perform and give employers an ob-jective measure to assess candidates. Withthis focus on skills, employers can movepast the inefficient hiring process ofmatch-ing key words between resumes and jobdescriptions, and toward a more efficient
system to match candidates based on theirskill set today and reward the developmentof skills throughout their career.
This approach would allow a job seekerto review their own qualifications for a po-sition and identify and pursue specific edu-cational opportunities to develop a neededskill. It would also allow education provid-ers to incorporate employer-required skillsinto curricula to increase student success.Thereby allowing employers, job seek-ers, and education providers to trade in acurrency of skills — the skills an employerneeds, the skills a job-seeker has, and theskills an educator can provide.
It’s time to create this skillsmarketplaceinMontgomeryCountyandtheWashingtonregion toconnect employers, educators andjob seekers to better align the workforce tothe needs of employers. It’s a win for em-ployers, job seekers and educators alike, butmost importantly, it’s a win for our econ-omy. By actively investing in skills develop-ment of our local work force, we ensure ourability to overcome the skills gap, meet theneeds of local employers and signal to oth-ers that this region has the tools to answertheir talent needs.

BRT: A bad trip?
I sympathize with the writer and theoutrageously inequitable situation he de-scribes [“How to beat a $40 speed cameraticket,” letter, Sept. 10]. I representbuscom-panies and clients in traffic related man-ners occurring on the northeast corridorbetween Virginia andNewYork City.
Most of these matters are resolved inthe jurisdictions where they occur, expedi-tiously by mail — except in Maryland andin particular, in Montgomery County. Thestate ofMaryland andMontgomeryCountyrequire defendants accused of parking,standing, automatic speed and automaticred light violations to appear in person tostand trial if they wish to contest the viola-tions and defend their rights.
In addition Montgomery County im-poses a “trial fee”ondefendants. Paying thefines for theseviolations involvenodreaded“points.”
Washington, D.C., Delaware, VirginiaandNewYorkCity andmanyother jurisdic-
tionsallowdefendants tochallengeparking,standing, automatic speedandred light vio-lations using the “hearing bymail” process.
Hearings by mail are efficient, inex-pensive and convenient, and provide thejudiciary with a process to resolve a largenumber of cases fairly and expeditiouslywithout appearance or formal trials. Neigh-boring jurisdictions provide for both “hear-ings by mail” and also offer an appealprocess, as well.
ThecurrentMarylandandMontgomeryCounty requirements deliberately discour-age defendants from exercising their rightstodefend themselves. Trialswaste timeandmoney, and are a subtle abuse of the powerof the county and state. The attendance re-quirements are particularly burdensomefinancially and physically for seniors, thedisabled and lower income workers. Thereis no acceptable argument which requiresa low-income hourly paid worker or retireeto pay a fee and then spend hours in court
waiting to defend a ticket which he or shefeels was unjustly issued.
The “in person” trial requirement de-lays justice and imposes burdens whichsubstantially diminish, degrade and under-mine the opportunity of an accused to de-fend himor herself.
In 2013 a bill sponsored by DelegateSusan McComas failed. It provided for ad-ministrative hearings bymail or Internet indefense of certain violations and is of par-ticular interest and significance to the resi-dents ofMaryland.
“Hearings bymail” resolve traffic viola-tions quickly, efficiently, fairly and cheaply.They do not impair “justice.” A cost analy-sis (including income from fines) vs. pro-ductivity clearly shows savings of state andcounty funds and they do not place unfair,inequitable burdens on defendants.

Thisweek, TheGazette starts its endorsements for candidatesrunning in theNovember general election.
In the race for fourMontgomeryCounty circuit judges, cir-cumstances have changed significantly since the Juneprimary.
At the time,we confidently supported the four sitting judgesover the lone challenger,Daniel PatrickConnell, for four circuitcourt seats.
We still feel that three judges—NelsonW.Rupp Jr., JoanE.RyonandGaryE. Bair—shouldbe returned to thebench. Allare capable and experienced; they impresseduswith their acu-menanddemeanor.
For the fourth seat, however,wehave reservations.InApril, webackedAudreyAnneCreighton, the lastmember
of a teamwithRupp, RyonandBair.We still respect her creden-tials.
Butwehavequestions about a legal case inwhich shehasbecomeentangled.
InMay, Creightonwas abductedby amanwithwhomshehadbeen living—Rickley Senning,whohasmultiple criminalconvictions. Creighton, as a public defender, has representedhim, according toTheWashingtonPost.
InMay, Senning allegedly forcedCreighton todrive himaround, yankingher hair and screaming at her, according topolice. Creighton jumped from the car outside a store and called911. Senningdrove away and crashed into another car.
Hewas taken to SuburbanHospital, but fled. Aweek later,hewas caught inMiami.
Creightonobtained aprotective order against him. Sen-ning’s case is scheduled for trial inNovember, after the election.
It’s not the episodeof abuse that has us backing away fromourprevious support. It’s other details andquestions surround-ing the case, such aswhetherCreightonwas forthrightwithpo-lice about her relationshipwith Senning.
Connell, in a letter to the three other judges, raised severalother questions aboutCreighton’s connections to Senning, par-ticularlywhile shewas a judge andhewas adefendant.
We invitedCreighton tomeet againwith our editorial boardto address questions. Shedeclined.
WeunderstandwhyCreighton, as a judge anda victim,would keepquietwhile Senning’s case is prosecuted. But she’salso a candidate; voters deserve tohear fromher, towhateverlimit she can speak.
It’s possible that thismatter is, orwill be, before a state com-mission that reviews complaints about judges.Until we knowmore,wemustwithhold our support of Creighton’s candidacy.
Connell, a former senior rule of lawadviserwith the StateDepartment, has advised civilian judges andpolice in Iraq andAfghanistan.Hehasworked as apublic defender and ranunsuc-cessfully for circuit judge in 2004.
We’re not sure he’dmake a good circuit judge, but for now,he’s a better choice in this race.
Three on bench,one challengerfor circuit judge
This year’s race forMontgomeryCounty state’s attorneypitsa seasoned, no-nonsense, prosecutor, incumbentDemocratJohn J.McCarthy, against an earnest newcomer topolitics, Re-publicanDanGaskill, a defense lawyer.
Gaskill has significant credentials.Heworkswithmany ju-veniles and,with amaster’s in socialwork, expresses a sincereempathy for the young, addicted andmentally ill peoplewhoaccount for a sizable share of defendants.
If elected, he’d focus on transforming the county’s “legal sys-tem” into a “justice system” that’smore intent on cutting crimethan lockingupoffenders.Heproposes a stronger emphasis onrehabilitation and treatment, rather thanpunishment.He saysthe county’s assistant state’s attorneys needmorediscretion innegotiating sentenceswithdefense lawyers.
Gaskill, an ex-Marine sergeant, says he’d aggressively go af-ter after police officerswhoare dishonest or abusive, especiallytominorities.
While theseareworthygoals,weadmireMcCarthy’swork inmanyyearsasaMontgomeryCountycareerprosecutor.Beforebecomingstate’s attorney in2006,hewasdeputy state’s attorneyfor10yearsandalsoheadedall of theoffice’smajor trial divisions.
Overseeingupwardof 25,000 cases a year and a staff com-prising 72prosecutors, plus investigators andother supportstaff,McCarthy touts his office’s role inhelping cutMontgom-ery’s crime rate by twice thenational average.His officehelpsoperate several innovative initiatives, such as truancy court forstudents, drug court for addicts and theFamily JusticeCenter, a“one-stop” resource for abuseddomestic partners and children.
He says his next big challenge, if re-elected, is reducingcrimeagainst the county’s growing senior population, includingfinancial crimes andphysical neglect or abuse. The crimes canbehard todetect, because they’re usually reportednot by thevictims, but by others. Raisingpublic awareness of these crimesmust be amajor tool in curbing them, he says.
DespiteGaskill’s ideas andpassion,McCarthy, on thebasisof his experience and skill, deserves a third termas the county’schief prosecutor.

n Strong second quarter allowsseniors make up for last year’sloss to rival with 35-14 victory
BY PRINCE J. GRIMES
STAFFWRITER
Going into Friday night’s gameagainst Thomas S. Wootton HighSchool, theWinstonChurchill footballteam had not allowed a single pointthis fall.
The Bulldogs extended their shut-out streak to 10 quarters on Friday inRockville before allowinga touchdownin the third quarter. At that point,Churchill held a 28-7 lead and would
go on to win, 35-14.Churchill coach Joe Allen said the
shutout streak was important, but thewinmeantmore.
“The goal of any defense is to geta shutout. So that’s no different forus.” Allen said. “We’ve been fortunatethe last two weeks to get shutouts.We know we’re not going to get shut-outs every game, but the defense stillplayed very well today.”
Offensively, running backs BlakeDove and Andrew Zuckerman set thetone for Churchill during a second-quarter drive in which the Bulldogsran for 49 yards. Dove capped thedrive with a 3-yard touchdown run.
On the following possession, after
a Wootton fumble, Dove appeared tocross thegoal lineagain, this time froma yard out, but the referees ruled thatDove fumbled the ball and Woottonrecovered.
Two plays later, defensive backOumar Soumah intercepted Woottonquarterback Sam Ellis and returnedit 35 yards to give the Bulldogs a 14-0lead.
Dove said he was robbed on thefumble.
“I putmyarmacross.Mybodywasin actually. But you have to let the refsget what they want sometimes,” Dovesaid.
The ensuing interception returnwas just the beginning of a big day for
Soumah and it began a series of pos-sessions that put the Patriots in aneven bigger hole before the half.
After failing to advance the ball ontheir next possession, Wootton hadits punt attempt blocked. The ballbounced off the shoulder pads of aWootton player and Soumah caughtthe bounce and proceeded to run itback for another 35-yard touchdownreturn.
Once Churchill’s offense touchedthe ball again, quarterback ColinSmyth hit Marquette Lewis for a 35-yard touchdown to give Churchill a28-0 lead at the half.
Churchill extends its shutout streak against Wootton
n Field hockey: Defense alsohelps lead Bulldogs to 4-2 start
BY ERIC GOLDWEIN
STAFFWRITER
Winston Churchill High Schoolfield hockey’s Carly Kabelac has beena steady defensive presence sincejoining the starting lineup in 2012.But with the Bulldogs searching fornew scoring options this season, the5-foot-7 senior has been tasked with
leading the offense too.Churchill’s co-captainhasbeenup
to the challenge. Playing “high sweep”—adefensivemidfield position—Ka-belac has tallied two goals and five as-sists for the Potomac school.
“It’s her stepping up,” Churchillcoach Catherine Miller said. “It’s herrefining her skills and her takingmoreleadership on the field.”
Kabelac’s seven points are team-high for the Bulldogs, who are 4-2 asofMonday.
“She’s able tobring theballup, and
get rid of it when she needs to,” goal-keeper Sophie Ascher said. “... She’salways been a really strong player andshe just keeps getting better.”
With Churchill (10-4 last year)graduating several top contributors,including All-Gazette second teammidfield/forward Clare Nolan, theteam has relied on players to take onnew roles. Kabelac has continuedto thrive as a two-way player and ison pace to surpass her 2013 scoringnumbers (3 goals, 10 assists), but ithasn’t been a solo effort. Junior An-
nie Moshyedi and sophomore JennyLangerman have also carried the of-fense with three goals apiece, whileAscher, a second-year starter, has 35saves after recording 81 in 2013.
“We’ve adjusted pretty quickly,”said Kabelac, who was named an all-county defender by the MontgomeryCounty Public School coaches lastseason.

n Richard Montgomerydominates in 45-7 victory
BY JOHN HARRIS IIISPECIAL TO THE GAZETTE
Following a difficult two-win 2013season, a competitive loss to openthe 2014 campaign and a drubbing bydefending Class 4A state championNorthwest lastweek, theRichardMont-gomery High School football team hadexperienced enough losing.
The Rockets unleashed over a yearof frustration Friday on visiting WalterJohnson, as they dominated, 45-7, inRockville.
In the first seven minutes of thecontest, Richard Montgomery (1-2)opened up a 21-0 lead, thanks to a4-yard pass play from senior quarter-back Renzo Farfan to Sebastian Vain-queur, a 30-yard interception returnfor a touchdown by junior linebackerMichael Silver and a fumble recoveryfor a score by junior defensive linemanJonOrtega.
Following a 23-yard field goal byJakob Chumtong and Farfan’s secondscoring pass to junior Daniel Alexan-der with 23.8 seconds left in the sec-ond quarter, Richard Montgomery hadbuilt an insurmountable 31-0 halftimeadvantage.
“I told them that they had an inten-sity to them; a fire in their eyes that Ihaven’t seen in the first 12 games thatI’ve been [coaching] here,” Rocketscoach JoshKlotz said. “Itwasnice to seethem have that intensity all day really,leading up to game time and then fromthe first play on.”
The Rockets kept their intensity inthe second half, as senior running backAlex Fehlinger (88 yards) ran 51 yardsup the middle for a touchdown on thefirst play from scrimmage of the thirdquarter. The play started the runningclock.
“All the time [Fehlinger] put intothe weight room in the offseason [haspaid off] and he’s one of the fastest kidsin the countywith track,” Klotz said. “...We’ve really focused on the runningbacks hitting the holes and getting ourtimingdown, andhedid that [tonight].”
Walter Johnson (0-3) stopped therunning clock for short time, as third-string sophomore quarterback PeytonAhnell capped a six-play drive with a12-yard run. Richard Montgomery ju-nior running back Leo Simon startedthe running clockbackupwith a 4-yardscoring run.

Montgomery College sophomore setter Nicole Couturier digsThursday against Cecil College.
n Covenant Life gradswitched from defensive
specialist to setter this fall
BY KENT ZAKOUR
STAFFWRITER
Over the summer,MontgomeryCollege women’s volleyball coachAmir Mafinejad considered ask-ing sophomore Nicole Couturieraboutmaking a significant position
change.And after looking over the ros-
ter, Mafinejad approached andasked the 2013 Covenant LifeSchool graduate to move from de-fensive specialist to setter.
“I hadn’t played setter in a fewyears,” Couturier said. “So it wastough getting back in the flow ofrunning the offense. There’s been alot of hard work and practice.”
By all accounts, Couturier hasembraced and performed well inher new position this fall. After
moving from Colorado prior to herhigh school junior year, Couturierset, on occasion, at the Gaithers-burg private school, but primarilyplayed in the back row.
“She’s done great for us andI’m really proud of her for helpingout the team,”Mafinejad said. “Wetoldher shemaybeour starting set-ter and she’s ran with it. She’s im-provedher serving anddefense andhasdonea great job setting theball.Nicole’s improving constantly andhas great hands, but most impor-
tantly, she’swatchingwherepeopleare and running the offense, direct-ing people for plays.”
Couturier, who has 269 of theRaptors’ 274 assists this season andis a member of the MontgomeryCollege Scholars program studyingbiochemistry, has had to work witha raw and short group of hitters.

and that of her teammates— has been just as vital to theteam’s early-season success.Kabelac and senior Emily Raabhave anchored a defense thathas recorded three shutoutswhile allowing only five goalsthrough six games. Moshyedisaid that communication hasbeen key to the defense’s suc-cess, and that Kabelac has beenat the center of that.
“She kind of guides our de-fense and offense,” Moshyedisaid. “Always talking to us onthe field, telling us what we
need to be doing, where weneed to be. We’re always con-stantly learning from her.”
The Bulldogs’ two losses— both by a 2-0 score — cameagainst Poolesville and ThomasS. Wootton (Rockville), the 4Astate runner-ups. Kabelac saidshe is hoping the team can im-prove on its 2013 season, whichended with a 5-1 loss to the Pa-triots in the second round ofthe playoffs.
“I think we have a lot ofgood players [and depth],”Kabelac said. “If we work hardenough, it’ll work out.”
FIELD HOCKEYContinued from Page B-1
Wootton coach Eddie Toll-iver said that the end of the halfput his team in a tough spot andsaid his defense was forced tostay on the field for too long.
“Our timing was off,” Toll-iver said. “We left a lot on thefield, and I think if we would’vejust got into a rhythm earlier,it would’ve been a lot easier tomove the ball. We moved theball down the field, but then wewould shoot ourselves in thefoot.”
Soumah said he never hada game like the one he had Fri-day.
“Last week [a 41-0 win overWalter Johnson} was prettygood. But this week was a lotbetter,” the senior said. “Evenif I didn’t have any of the plays,
I would still be glad that we gotredemption on this field.”
Allen said it was importantto the seniors on his team tomake up for a 41-0 loss theysuffered against Woottonlast season. Wootton won onChurchill’s home-field andthe Bulldogs considered them-selves returning the favor onFriday.
Dove, who also playslinebacker, said the defensewanted to extend the shutoutstreak for another game. Whilethat didn’t happen, he said thewin felt good.
“We told ourselves thiswhole week we [were] going tocome out strong, andwe [were}going to dominate,” Dove said.“We did it. We showed it.”
FOOTBALLContinued from Page B-1
“We had great practices allweek, the coaches preparedus, and I felt that just carriedus day by day,” said Silver, whointercepted three passes and re-covered a fumble. “Defensively,our line played well, they put alot of pressure on them. I can’tsay enough about howwell theyplayed today.”
Richard Montgomery is setto take on Sherwood next week.
“We played Sherwood closelast year, wewere only down 6-0at halftime,” Klotz said. “We arefamiliar with them and they arefamiliarwithus andour kids likethe challenge of playing [goodteams].Wedon’t play football to
have too easy games or 10 easywins.”
The winless Wildcats arescheduled to play PoolesvilleFriday.
“We just got to get going onthe offensive line and get thatpush against Poolesville,” Wal-ter Johnson coach Greg Kellnersaid. “We need to get our feetmoving and pound that ball.If we execute the run well ... itcan help our passing game. Thesecond half, the guys came outand gave our best. We’re gettingthere.”
Walter Johnson is also hop-ing to get one of its junior quar-terbacks, Ben Lake or KedarRollins, ready for next week.Both are questionable, accord-ing to Kellner.

“She’s been doing great,”Mafinejad said. “Kapria hasa lot of room to improve, butshe’s a big factor for us on of-fense right now. We try to sether as much as we can whenshe’s up in the front row.”
Freshman opposite hitterNatalie Speth (SenecaValley),who was expected to play li-berobefore the seasonbegan,has also made key contribu-tions offensively at oppositehitter (43 kills).

Rash at Springbrookdelays game
Fridaynight’s gamebetweenSherwoodHigh Schoolandhost SpringbrookwaspostponeduntilMondaydue to a skin irritation scare for theplayers at the SilverSpring school.
According to Springbrook’s coachAdamBahr, staffmembers at Springbrook cleaned the locker roomwithan “appropriate disinfectant, inappropriately used.”
It resulted in rashes andburns onanumber of play-ers’ necks and shoulderswhere the shoulder pads sit,forcing them to seekmedical attention, Bahr said. Theteamhad to get newgear as a result and reschedule thegame.
A lot of players still weren’t able to suit-up forMon-day’s game, forcing Springbrook to call five junior var-sity players up for depth.
“Its been abizarreweek.My thoughts andprayersarewith the kidswhoare still affectedby the incident.Its been tough to focus on football as clearly, that’s be-come secondary,” Bahr said. “Weare also grateful to thestaff at Sherwoodwho [were] so accommodating in ourdesire to switch the game toMonday.”
Bahr saidhewas also grateful to the soccer teamfor re-arranging their schedule to accommodate thechange in the football schedule.
No game for KennedyWhile Springbrook got anopportunity tomakeup
last Friday’s game, JohnF. KennedyHigh Schoolwillhave to completely cancel their game this Friday againstNational ChristianAcademy.
Kennedy athletic director KenCudd cited a lack ofcommunication fromNCAas the reasonwhy.
After initially reaching out toKennedy to schedulethe September 26 game,NCA’s coach couldn’t be con-tacted, Cudd said.
He saidhe sent the contract for the game toNCA inJuly andnever heardback from the coach again, nor didhe receive the contract.
“Basedon the lack of any communication,wede-cidednot to count on them to showupandpulled theplug on the gamenow,”Cudd said.
Kennedyplayersmaybenefit fromaweekoff as itprovides anunprecedented amount of time to rest and
work on some things in between games.ButCuddagreed, net revenue for the athletic de-
partmentwill be affectedby the cancellationbecausethe gamewas supposed tobeoneof fivehome-gamesfor theCavaliers.

It would’ve been difficult forthe SpringbrookHigh School girlssoccer team to take a step backfrom awinless 2013 but the BlueDevils have takenmore than onestep forward early this fall. And itstarted with increased numbers attryouts— the roster has jumpedfrom 12 to 23 players.

The Sandy Spring FriendsSchool (SSFS) boys soccer teamhas a new look after reaching thePotomac Valley Athletic Confer-ence tournament championshipgame in 2013.
And it might be a better one.Without last season’s leading
scorer Keenan Smith (Class of2014), the Wildebeests have turnedto a more balanced attack, with
several different scoring options.The result: a 4-1 start (as of
Monday) that includes a victoryover Our Lady of Good Counsel.
Among SSSF’s key contribtu-ors are junior midfielder/forwardJake Crim and senior midfielderJacob Petrucci; coach Jeff Rohrmansaid he expects Crim, 6-foot-2, toshoulder much of the burden thisseason.
Rohrman said SSFS’s depthon offense has been key to thequick start. “I’ve got three or fourguys that can score for us so we’renot as reliant on one player … insome ways, we’re a better team,”Rohrman said. “... It’s a real differ-ent dynamic.”
Gaithersburg keeps winningdespite injuries
The Gaithersburg High Schoolboys soccer team has been deci-mated by injuries, losing half of itsstarting lineup.
Nothing catastrophic; threesprained ankles and a hamstring,coach Matt Bowling said. But theshorthanded Trojans have beenwithout some of their top con-tributors, including goalkeeperChristian Reyes (ankle) and strikerGustavo Garcia (hamstring).
But that’d be hard to tell basedoff the early-season results, as theTrojans — leaning on seniors MaxBoimov and Neal Iannone — areoff to a 4-2 start as of Monday.
“I think it’s remarkable consid-ering the adversity the team hashad to deal with,” Bowling said. “...It’s been a total team approach totry and solve the problem.”
Wheaton turns it aroundThe Wheaton High School boys
soccer team went into the yearwith a new set of starters aftergraduating 10 seniors, and thatinexperience was exposed duringtheir preseason scrimmages, whichincluded a 7-1 loss to RichardMontgomery and a blowout lossagainst Gaithersburg.
“We were really bombed by acouple teams,” coach Oscar Ama-guana said. “Let me tell you, it wasugly.”
But that slow start, it turnedout, was exactly what the SilverSpring school needed. Followingthe Trojans loss, the Knights madesome changes, moving two of itsmidfielders — Naol MeKonnen,Carlos Flamenco — to defenseand putting its sophomore, ArthurNganou, at center back. The resulthas been a 4-1 start (as of Mon-day), with two shutouts and just sixgoals allowed.
“It’s working. The kids are fol-lowing directions, playing togetherkeeping their shape … we’re head-ing in the right direction,” Ama-guana said.
Northwest puts it togetherNothing like a nail-biting vic-
tory over an elite MontgomeryCounty opponent to lift the spiritsof a struggling Northwest HighSchool boys soccer team.
Playing Sherwood on Friday,the Jaguars escaped with a 2-1 vic-tory — the first of the season forthe Germantown school.
Emil Owusu and Henry Gomezboth had goals in the victory overthe Olney school; Gomez’s cameon a penalty kick.
“We played pretty well,” North-
west coach Kert Mease said. “Ithink that things are starting tocome together a little bit.”
Walter Johnson bouncesback in a big way
The Walter Johnson HighSchool boys soccer team neededevery second of its Saturday matchagainst Gonzaga. As time expiredin the second half, Giles Bevenserved a ball to Malcolm Djiki,who scored his first varsity goal tosend the game into overtime. TheWildcats would get another timelygoal in the 96th minute; this one —another first — came from juniorforward Daniel Hart, and it gavethe Betesda school its fifth straightvictory after getting blown out inits season-opener — a 5-0 loss toHigh Point in Beltsville.
“They’re starting to see wherethe pay off is of working hard. Ikeep telling them, ‘high schoolball, it’s very different from a clubatmosphere. Sometimes it doescome down to work rate, intensityand just that sense of urgency,’coach Hector Morales said. “Whenthey do that, when they play inthat style and manner, they’ve re-ally been able to put together thosegood halves of play.”

n E.B. White’s classic storyis told through musical
BY KIRSTY GROFFSTAFF WRITER
Join a “Little” mouse on a big journeywhen Adventure Theatre MTC launchesits 2014-2015 season with its productionof “Stuart Little.”
Based on the 1945 E.B. White novel ofthe same name, the musical focuses onTheLittle family ofNewYorkCity, consist-ing of Mr. and Mrs. Little, their son GeorgeLittle and their adopted son, the mousenamed Stuart.
After his feathered friend Margalodisappears, he embarks on an adventureoutside of his home to find her. While hissmall size is an obstacle, it can’t get in theway of his determination.
“It’s a fun story, fast-paced and verymuch in the spirit of what I gravitate to-ward,” said director Chris Hovde, “whichis letting theaudiencebring their imagina-tion to the story rather than doing every-thing for them.”
The cast consists of five different ac-tors playing multiple parts – all exceptfor Stuart Little, who is played by ChrisDinolfo. According to Hovde, Dinolfo’scraftsmanship and presence made him aperfect match for the role of the adventur-ous rodent. From there, the rest of the castfell into place.
“The four ensemble characters, wecast around our lead Stuart,” said Hovde.“They’re funny, adventurous, and theyhave wild imaginations themselves —they cast themselves, essentially.”
Imaginations comein all shapes, sizes

IN THE ARTS
Each of the ensemble members play multipleroles, using costumes — and a bit of imagination—to transform fromone character to another. Ev-eryone comes together in support of Stuart, whoencounters a new set of hurdles to overcomeoncehe steps outside of his house.
“I think every play out there helps us have awindow intohowsomeoneelse feels beinghumanand the challenges that come with that,” he said.“We get to experience Stuart experiencing a lot ofdifferent things for the first time and see how hedeals with adversity, and the chance to see his dis-coveries is beautiful.”
As the original book was written in the mid-40s, the musical retains a sense of a bygone era, amore carefree timewheremake-believewasmorecommon than staying at home watching televi-sion.
“It has a nostalgia for a time where thereweren’t cell phones or video games,” said Hovde,“andwhenkidshada freeday theywoulduse theirimaginations. Kids could really invest in play time,and I think that’s something amazing about thepiece, the imagination and the playfulness of let-ting kids be kids.”
Hopefully the adults in the audience will beflooded with memories of a childhood withoutworries, while children viewing the musical willbecome invested in Stuart’s adventure and usetheir imaginations right alongside him as theviewers cheer him on during his journey throughadversity.
“One of the lines says it’s the fantastical storyof a most remarkable mouse,” he said,” and it re-ally is. I think we can see ourselves in Stuart in
manyways, and it’s a beautiful aspect of the piece,being able to see the world from someone else’seyes— especially someone littler than us.”

the Fillmore Flashback: 80s vs.90s Dance Party at the FillmoreSilver Spring on Saturday.Mar-kie will be there alongwith TheNewRomance andHere’s TotheNight.Since “Just a Friend,”
topped out at No. 9 on the Bill-board charts, Markie has keptbusy, releasing newmusic and,most recently, working andperformingwith DJ Lance andall of the Yo Gabba Gabba’s onNickelodeon andNick Jr. Con-sideringMarkie’s goofy lookand silly demeanor, working ona children’s show is probablyhis greatest idea.Tickets for the show are
$22 and it’s general admission,so standing roomonly at theFillmore. Formore information,visit fillmoresilverspring.com orcall 301-960-9999.
