With over 3,000 people attending, it is only fitting that a second Kentlands Under the Lights community dinner is in order for this summer’s kick-off. As part of the Kentland’s ongoing 25th anniversary celebration, last year’s first community dinner was developed as one more way for neighbors and friends to come together while enjoying a bite to eat, a drink and entertainment in the Kentlands Market Square. In the city of Siena, Italy each year the town residents gather under hundreds of glowing lights to share delicious cooking, engage in lively conversation and connect together… as neighbors and friends. This special tradition was the inspiration for our very own community dinner. When my wife Ailene and I saw the community celebration in Siena, Italy we thought this is the type of event that epitomizes a community like the Kentlands. The planning committee is bringing this communitybonding event to the Kentlands. Mark your calendars now to take part in an enjoyable al fresco dinner from 6:00 to 11:00 p.m., on Saturday, June 18. The event is open to neighbors of all ages. Market Square and the surrounding streets (Market Street East and Market Street West from Center Point Way to Main Street) will be filled with tables for diners and tents of food offerings, all covered by a canopy of lights. Local restaurants are invited to present their best dishes for outdoor dining. This opportunity to showcase their business and support the community requires a $300 fee for the 10’x10’ tent at the dinner. Restaurants interested in reserving a tent for food sales are directed to contact either John Ingrassia at (240) 832-0557 or myself at (240) 4497115. Last year’s restaurants were overwhelmed with demand, so come prepared. Attendance is free. Come sample our amazing local fare and enjoy a warm summer evening under the lights and stars with friends, family and neighbors. For added enjoyment, the Wine Harvest will offer an assortment of local beers and wines. Dining tables will be set along the closed streets and in the Square, and local entertainers will circulate throughout the crowd, delighting young and old alike. Questions about this event may be directed to John Ingrassia or myself. 9 June 2016 301-258-6350 Gaithersburgmd.gov aithersburg 4th of July Fireworks Now at Bohrer Park Live music, fun games, inflatables, fireworks, and more on the expansive lawn.

Leaving friends behind, realizing that you are growing up, and all the festivities that accompany the eighth grade graduation, mark an important stepping stone in the lives of both students and their parents. Many of these rising high school freshmen can’t wait for the feeling of independence that comes with moving on to high school. Ashleigh Gordon, Lakelands Park Middle School (LPMS) eighth grader, said, “One of the things that I am looking forward to most about high school is that I will be gaining more freedom to choose my own classes, and I will have the option to take a variety of different courses that interest me.” Not only is it going to be more fun to pick their own classes, but some hope that high school activities will help pave the way for their future career goals. “I’m looking forward to being able to pick classes related to my future career,” Jade Skok said. “I want to take yearbook because I love writing and I really enjoy taking pictures. I would also love to join Best Buddies because I hope to be a special education teacher or a journalist one day,” she added. Although they can’t wait to move on to better things in high school, there are many aspects and memories from middle school that LPMS students Jade Skok, Clare Gallagher and will miss. “My favorite Ashleigh Gordon middle school memory was when we went on the Outdoor Ed overnight trip. It was raining and we got stuck inside, but I ended up meeting a lot of new people and making a ton of friends!” Jack Rosenberg said. Sometimes it’s also the little things, like waving to your favorite teacher in the hallway or seeing familiar faces when you walk into school, that students will miss the most. “I think that I will miss the teachers the most, because over the course of three years you become close with them and they know you best. Going to a new school means starting over and forming new relationships which takes time,” Jade said. Besides leaving LPMS, some students will also be leaving friends behind, since the student body will be broken up; some students will attend Quince Orchard High School (QOHS) while others will attend Northwest High School, not to mention that some students are lucky enough to get into magnet programs at other schools. “I will miss living so close to school and being able to walk with my friends every morning. And I know that it’s going to be hard to leave some of my close friends behind, but I’m confident that we will continue to keep in touch through social media!” Ashleigh said. Even though there may be concerns about high school and what lies ahead for these students, the festivities that surround graduation are what thrills most of the eighth graders. A promotion and recognition ceremony will be held at QOHS on the morning of June 16, immediately followed by a cruise on the Spirit of Washington for all eighth grade students. “I am so excited to go on the cruise. I also love dressing up and I’m excited to be with my friends one last time. It’s a great way to finish up the school year and say goodbye to the end of our time at LPMS” Jade said. As the school year comes to a close, one important piece of advice for future sixth grade students seemed to be consistent among these three students. “I would like to tell future sixth graders that they should try their best to appreciate every moment because middle school flies by and you don’t want to miss it!” Jack said.

Gaithersburg Student Selected in Statewide Essay Contest Each year the Maryland Municipal League (MML), in partnership with the Maryland Mayors’ Association and the Chesapeake Employers Insurance Company, hosts the “If I Were Mayor...” essay contest for fourth-grade students throughout the state of Maryland. This year, students were asked what new programs or services they would create to help citizens lead a healthier life and make “Happy Town” a safer place to live. Gaithersburg student, Mahita Damodara, was named a District 5 semi-finalist. She is a student at Diamond Elementary School. In her essay, Mahita said that if she were the mayor, she would “… work with schools to teach kids about the importance of leading a healthy lifestyle by making the right food choices, exercising and staying away from bad habits. The children can inform their families so that they will change and become healthy. I would also ask for feedback from the citizens, on what else we can do, to support the healthy habits of Happy Town.” Mahita will read her essay at the Gaithersburg Mayor and City Council meeting on Monday, June 6. Her essay is also available on the city’s website.

Dara has been a part of the Lakelands community since 1999, with her mother Carrie, father Eric, brother Ethan, and sister Tahli. This summer Dara is excited to embark on the monumental milestone of graduating high school and moving 315 miles south of Lakelands. Elon is a private liberal arts university located in North Carolina. Moving five hours away can be a bit scary, but Dara says, “I’m most excited to meet new people and try new things in college. I’m looking forward to living in a new state and possibly studying abroad!” At Elon Dara plans to begin studying for a career in the medical field. She is starting as a public health major on a pre-medical track. Her love for the medical field is inspired by her mother, who is a nurse and the internship she served at the National Institutions of Health last summer. During this internship Dara worked in a chemistry lab in drug discovery. This summer Dara is planning on working at The Bar Method, a barre workout studio in the Kentlands, to save money for college. Dara admits that senior year was definitely busy. Balancing a busy schedule of AP classes, working, making time for friends and participating in extracurricular activities, such as the QOHS Poms Team, was definitely challenging. Dara was a member of the poms team all four years at QOHS. She recalls that her favorite high school memory is her first time performing at a QOHS football game with her poms team. “It’s such an amazing feeling to walk out under the lights and hear everyone in the stands cheering for you and your team.” Dara’s achievements throughout her poms career allowed her to be a senior leader this year, which came with responsibilities including “helping the younger members on the team with technique and learning the dances, and answering any questions they may have had.” Dara and her peers celebrated their graduation at D.A.R. Constitution Hall on June 1st, “It’s really sad that high school is coming to a close, but I couldn’t be more excited to start the next chapter of my life,” Dara says. After experiencing an activity- and stressed-filled senior year Dara offers some insight for upcoming seniors. “My advice for rising seniors is to make the most of every moment. Senior year is a time to make great memories with your friends and it’s going to be the best year of your high school experience.

However, at the end of this month, they will say goodbye and move on to a new chapter in their lives. A graduate of the State University of New York and a native of Rochester, New York, Mark is returning to his roots. He has taken a new job as Chief Business Officer/ President of the Rochester Rhinos, the men’s professional soccer team. The couple met in Arlington, Virginia, shortly after they both graduated from college. They were married in 1998. Mark’s career in sports management has taken them to New York and Chicago, although Lakelands is the place they have called home for the longest period of time. “We moved here two weeks before Sophie started kindergarten,” recalls Wendy. “This is home for our girls.” Sophie is in sixth grade at Lakelands Park Middle School (LPMS), and Natalie is in fourth grade at Rachel Carson Elementary School (RCES). Wendy says they fell in love with the neighborhood when they first saw it, and have loved living here. “I love the fact that we can walk everywhere, and that when we go out we always run into someone we know,” she said. The Washos have engrossed themselves in life in the Lakelands. Because of the many amenities of Lakelands, their lives on Gatestone Street Celebrate! Gaithersburg Sunday, June 12, 12:00 – 5:00 p.m. The 34th Annual Celebrate! Gaithersburg Festival will draw an entire community to Gaithersburg’s historic city center. Features include three bands engaging in a Battle of the Decades, a Taste of Gaithersburg with delectable samples from thirteen local restaurants, Dogfish Head beer, a pop-up MakerSpace, an antique car exhibit, nature demonstrations, amusements and activities, and much, much more. Celebrate! Gaithersburg in Olde Towne street festival takes place in and around the intersection of Summit and Diamond Avenues. Festival admission and parking are free. Free shuttle service is available to and from satellite parking at Lakeforest Shopping Center. Additional parking is available at the Activity Center at Bohrer Park, less than a quarter mile from the festival area. Wendy, Mark, Sophie & Natalie Washo have been very enjoyable. Sophie and Natalie both swim for the Lionfish and play soccer. Over the years, they have enjoyed summer camps at LPMS and the Arts Barn. “There is always something to do,” said Wendy. Mark bikes regularly with a group of men in the community and plays football on Saturday mornings at RCES. Wendy has worked in Downtown Kentlands for realtor Elaine Koch for the past three years as a Listing and Marketing Coordinator and has helped out with concessions for the Lionfish. “There is just something about going to swim practice every day and knowing everybody there,” said Wendy. That, she says, is perhaps what she will miss most. Wendy grew up in northern Virginia and graduated from Virginia Tech. They have a lot of family in the immediate area. Although they will be leaving this family and the many friends they have made over the years, they are all excited for the move to Rochester. “It’s beautiful and there are great schools,” said Wendy. After living in a townhome for the past seven years, she said they are looking forward to living in a single family home. This month, the girls are finishing up the school year, Natalie is celebrating her tenth birthday, and they all plan to make the most of their last month in Lakelands. Wendy said they plan to relax with friends at the pool and also to enjoy some of the sites and attractions available in Washington, DC. 27 June 2016 ARTS ON THE GREEN Greeting Summer Arts on the Green By Laurie Levy-Page, Performing Arts Program Coordinator ARTS ON THE GREEN K E NT L A N D S M A N S I O N & A RT S B A R N Summer is a fantastic time to take things a little slower and enjoy all sorts of pleasures, including the arts! And when it is just a leisurely bike ride away, it is that much more appealing. This summer, Arts on the Green has many week-long summer camps, some one-time workshops for adults, lots of theater, and the occasional special event. In June, that special event is Happy Feet Family Dance at Kentlands Mansion. In Concert Rochelle Rice: Summer Love Songs Saturday, June 4, 8:00 p.m. Tickets: $25; $12 (18 & under) Arts Barn Grab your sweetheart and enjoy a musically romantic evening. Up-andcoming vocal artist Rochelle Rice enchants her audience with her own arrangements of some of the most beautiful love songs ever written. Rochelle has been named Best Jazz Vocalist (2013) by Washington City Paper and has performed at The Kennedy Center, the Mansion at Strathmore, The Fillmore, and DC Jazz Festival. Rochelle’s Arts Barn gig comes just a month before the release of her debut album, Wonder, which she describes as “a beautiful landscape of personal compositions and thrilling arrangements, featuring a vibrant jazz quartet and lush strings.” She will be accompanied on piano by Mark Meadows. On Stage The Drowsy Chaperone June 10-26 Tickets: $22, $12 (14 & under) Arts Barn Presented by Damascus Theatre Company, The Drowsy Chaperone pays tribute to the Jazz-age shows of the 1920’s and the power those shows had to transport us into a dazzling fantasy and to lift our spirits in times of sadness. When a die-hard theatre fan plays his favorite cast album, the characters come to life in delightful song and dance. The Drowsy Chaperone won five TONY Awards, including Best Book and Best Original Score, when it premiered on Broadway in 2006. Arts Barn has a long and successful history of partnering with Damascus Theatre Company, most recently having presented their production of Musical of Musicals (The Musical!) last fall. Music and Lyrics by Lisa Lambert and Greg Morrison. Recommended for ages 12 and up. Get in the Act! Happy Feet Family Dance Sunday, June 5, 2:00 - 3:30 p.m. $25 per pair; $13 each additional guest Kentlands Mansion will be the setting for a fun and oh-socivilized afternoon of intergenerational dance! Gaithersburg’s own Two Left Feet Dance Studio will provide dance instruction and Heartwing Photography will provide a commemorative photo. There are also light refreshments included. Thinking of possible gifts for a special dad? This could be it! Summer Camps Week-long summer arts camps are filling up, but there are still some opportunities to get in on making great memories and spending time with friends—all so close to home. Full weeks of camp start on June 27 and change weekly through August 19. We also have short camp sessions June 22-24 and July 5-8. Here’s a visual arts camp you may not have thought of: photography. And not just any photography, but sports photography! Instructor Phil Fabrizio brings a wealth of experience and skill to what can be a fulfilling hobby, placing the photographer right in the middle of the action. Art Workshops Tea Time Art Party - Celebrating Dad Sunday, June 19 Artist and Arts Barn instructor Firouzeh Sadeghi will lead the festivities and help participants, 12 and up, create a lovely water color painting for Dad. Or Dad can come and create a water color for himself! Wine and Art Parties Friday, June 17 Artist and Arts Barn instructor Natalya Parris leads a workshop called “Acrylic Painting: Georges Seurat.” Raise a glass and toast to Pointillism. Friday, June 24 The tone is a little different as the workshop is “Wine & Improv” with Stephanie Phelan. No doubt the glass of wine will make all of the ad-libbing that much funnier. All are welcome; no experience needed for this evening of laughs! See ARTS on page 28 28 The Lakelands Leader FOCUS ON FITNESS A Spring Workout You Can do Outside By Lenore Gelman, Personal Trainer I always look forward to spring, and the opportunity to get in some great exercise outdoors. It’s a good time for me to share a very fun workout you can do with only a bench, a set of dumbbells and a quarter-mile area where you can walk or run. As usual, my go-to place for a terrific outdoor workout is the Lakelands Park gazebo and surrounding paths. The benches on the picnic tables work well for the bench exercises. You may also want to have a mat handy. Start with a quarter-mile walk or easy jog and then perform several dynamic stretches such as walking knee hugs, butt kicks, soldier walks, and side steps. Make sure to warm up the upper body as well, with some shoulder shrugs, shoulder rolls, arm circles, torso twists, and side bends. The workout is divided into circuits, with four exercises and then a quarter mile run. Each circuit is comprised of two dumbbell exercises and two bodyweight bench exercises. You can do the whole workout one time, go through the whole thing once and repeat, or repeat each circuit before moving on. Beginners should do 10-12 reps of each exercise. For a more advanced workout go for 20 reps of each. You have plenty of options to make it work for you. CIRCUIT 1 1. Front Lunge to straight arm torso twist with one dumbbell – As you lunge forward with the left leg, twist the dumbbell to the left side. Alternate sides. 2. B ent-over Rows with two dumbbells 3. Bench Push Ups – Either hands on bench (beginner) or feet on bench (advanced) 4. Bench Lunges – Stand with back to bench, place left foot behind you on bench, lower and straighten right leg. Switch sides. 5. ¼ mile run CIRCUIT 2 1. Side Bend to Bicep Curl – Hold both dumbbells at sides, bend to right side. After you straighten complete a curl with right arm. Alternate sides. 2. Stagger Step One Arm Row – Take a big step forward with right leg and lean chest toward the leg. Hold a dumbbell in left hand and row. Switch sides. 3. D ips – Sit on bench, place hands on bench, shift your bodyweight slightly forward, bend and straighten the arms. 4. Bench Bird Dog- Place hands on bench, walk feet backwards, alternate lifting right arm and left leg, switch to left arm and right leg. 5. ¼ mile run CIRCUIT 3 1. S quat to Overhead Press 2. B ent-over Reverse Flies 3. Step Ups or Toe Taps – Face bench, step up with right leg and lift bodyweight up until other foot reaches bench. Step back down with same leg. Alternate sides. 4. Mountain Climbers with hands on bench 5. ¼ mile run CIRCUIT 4 1. Tricep Kickbacks 2. F ront Raise to Lateral Raise 3. Side Step Ups or Side Toe Taps – Stand with left side facing bench, step up with left leg and bring right leg out to the side as you stand. Step down to right leg and repeat. Switch sides. For a modification, just tap the left foot on the bench and return to the ground. Switch sides. 4. K nee Ins – Sit on edge of bench, tuck knees, lean back slightly and straighten legs. Pull knees back in and repeat. 5. ¼ mile run CIRCUIT 5 1. D eadlift to Upright Row 2. R ussian Twists with one dumbbell seated on mat 3. Straight Arm Plank with feet on bench and hands on mat. Hold for 30-60 seconds. 4. One or Two Leg Glute Bridge – lie on mat with one or both feet on bench, lift and lower hips. If you run one more ¼ mile after the last circuit, you will have run a mile and a half along with an awesome total body strength workout. Hope to see you out there crushing a workout and breathing in that fresh spring air. From ARTS on page 28 In the Gallery Arts Barn Through June 27: Jewels of the Earth.
