Hula Shaking Fun
By Andrea Escher

here was quite a bit of concern when
the City of Rockville made the announcement that their annual Independence Day celebration, including
fireworks display, was being moved to the
Mattie J.T. Stepanek Park in King Farm.
The King Farm Board of Trustees held
multiple meetings with City staff months
before the July 4 event to prepare and plan
to ensure the event would not create issues
within the community. Notices were sent to
residents via e-mail, open meetings where
held at Board meetings to hear and address
resident concerns, parking passes were issued, and everyone sat back and waited to
see if the event would go off with a “boom”
or end in a “bust.”
City crews arrived at the Park during
the early morning hours of Saturday, July
4. By noon parking barricades were erected
in Phases II and III of the community and
road closures went into effect. By 7:30 p.m.
King Farm residents were spotted walking
in large groups with their blankets and
chairs to the Park site, looking to grab the
perfect viewing spot. Shortly after 9:00 p.m.
the fireworks began. After the event was
over the high praises began rolling in!
King Farm residents not only enjoyed the
fireworks this summer,
they can’t wait for it to
return next year. The
King Farm Board of
Trustees solicited feedback from residents on
their thoughts on the
event and King Farm
General Manager Jennifer Gilmore says the
response was overwhelmingly positive.
Many King Farm residents commented that while
the fireworks display was just
overall fantastic, it was the convenience of being able to walk a
few blocks with their friends and
family to enjoy the event. One resident
even posted online, “Welcome Rockville
fireworks to your new home in King Farm!”
It has been suggested that just over
5,000 people attended the Independence
Day Celebration, but official numbers
have not yet been released. City staff held
an after-action meeting in late July with the
King Farm Board and General Manager to
discuss what worked and didn’t work this
year, and what changes will be implemented if the fireworks return to King Farm in
July 2016.

fter weeks of daily swim practice, Wednesday and Saturday swim meets, Friday
evening special events and an end of season banquet, the Screamin Geese Swim
Team concluded their 2015 swim season last month. The Geese did not have quite
the winning season they were hoping for, as they fell 0-5 in their weekly meets, but
the Team will continue to practice and gear up to dominate the pool next Summer.
The Geese will be swimming in Division F next year, against the tough competition
of Franklin Knolls, Mohican, Damascus, Stonebridge and Rock Creek swim teams.
The Team would like to thank this year’s sponsors, all the families and children
who participated as well as the many volunteers and neighbors who continue to
come together to make the team a fun and enjoyable experience for the children in
King Farm.
Good luck next year, Geese!
ome builder and developer Michael Harris Homes is looking to
expand the housing market by developing a townhouse community adjacent to King Farm. The site, currently
known as the Rockville Corporate Center, sits at the corner of Rockville Pike
and Gude Drive and is occupied by two
large office buildings leased by Montgomery County Public Schools.
According to the owner of the proposed site, Dan Cain of the Matan
Companies, the current plan calls for
the construction of two additional office buildings and a parking garage.
Unfortunately according to Cain, the
commercial office building market is
not proving to be profitable for Montgomery County at this time. Matan was
approached by Howard Katz of Michael

we will have to deal with the capacity issues as
Cit
they arise. The Animal Control Ordinance
covers more than just chickens, which thus far, we have not found in King Farm, as most
of the property lines are not large enough to accommodate coops. This Ordinance covers
other topics such as tethering of animals, and licensing of cats and ferrets. We can certainly
provide additional information on these specifics to those interested.
We weathered the 4th of July at the Mattie Park, and all in all (based on residents’ feedback) this was a successful event. We have been collecting comments from King Farmers
and are sharing them with City staff so that we can make this event even better if the Park
site is chosen in the future.
King Farm General Manager Jennifer Gilmore and I meet regularly with the City Manager of Rockville and City staff on issues that impact the maintenance and integrity of our
community. This has helped move things along with the City.
Over the next few years we will be dealing with development on our community borders
which may increase traffic and create yet more issues for residents, especially pedestrians.
We as a community, need to stay on top of potential problems to keep our residents in a
safe environment. Other transportation issues still on the table are the Corridor Cities
Transitway (CCT) and the County Bus Rapid Transit (BRT).
The City is currently working on its Master Plan for 2040. King Farm is a neighborhood
planning area, which really has no Master Plan, as our plan was a concept plan in 2002
when the last Master Plan was approved. The City is conducting a series of listening sessions in the neighborhoods. King Farm’s meeting on this issue will be held on September
8 at 7:00 p.m. at the Saddle Ridge Community Center. Residents are encouraged to put
this on their calendars and come with ideas.
All of this gets me to a big and major point… the City of Rockville elections are coming
up in the Fall, November to be exact. We don’t know yet who is running or what candidate
positions are on issues that may be of interest to King Farm residents. We have requested
a Candidate Forum to be held in King Farm in October, so start thinking of questions you
would like to ask the candidates. The term of office is four years, so if we don’t vote, we
have to live with the decisions of the Mayor and Council, right or wrong for King Farm,
for that period of time.
If you are not registered to vote, you can obtain registration information from the Rockville City website – www.rockvillemd.gov - register and vote. Rockville will host early voting
the last weekend in October at City Hall. There is also the opportunity to do same day
registration and voting at City Hall. You will be able to vote in King Farm at the Saddle
Ridge Community Center on Election Day. It is often said that if King Farm voted, we
could run the City – wouldn’t that be nice?
I will try to keep this column going with future updates in The Chronicle on issues of
interest to our residents.
Enjoy the rest of the summer and get ready for fall activities in “the Farm.”

Summer is Almost Over
August is already here, how the summer
has gone by so quickly, Labor Day is approaching, and there are only a few weeks
left to enjoy the Assembly’s two pools.
After Monday, September 7, both Saddle
Ridge and Baileys Commons pools will
close during the week, but will reopen for
the weekends of September 12 and 19. The
last day the pools will be open is Sunday,
September 20. We hope everyone has enjoyed using the pools during the summer,
and we would also like to thank everyone

to keep a check than your light goes on at

Doggie Stations
As everyone knows it is a law to clean up
after your pet but some still do not practice
this rule. There are several Doggie Stations
around the community that have bags and
a place to dispose of the bags, once you have
cleaned up after your pet, to help keep the
community pet waste free. Please utilize
these dog pots and help keep King Farm a
clean environment for all.

Alley Lights
Remember to check your alley light on
a periodical basis to make sure the bulb has
not burned out or to make sure it is still

some pruning especially if the branches are
hanging over the sidewalk. Resident’s love
to take walks throughout the community so
please make sure you keep an eye on your
trees and prune them as necessary so that
people walking don’t need to duck down to
walk on the sidewalk.

Townhouse community
Continued from page 1...
Harris Homes with the concept of turning the parcel into a townhouse community.
“We feel a townhouse community
would be a great compliment for the
area,” said Katz. “We know there is a demand for more housing and we feel this
would be a desirable location.”
Cain said they have not yet approached or presented the City of Rockville with their development plans but
anticipate submitting formal plans in
the Fall.
“We know in the past there was an issue with the buffer of trees between this
property and the King Farm community,
and a former developer who wanted to
build on the property. We are sensitive
to this issue and wanted to take the time
to come and meet with the community
and explain our plans to assure residents
we are not trying to destroy trees or the
sightline for neighbors in King Farm.”
Cain said in order to ensure residents
are not concerned with the tree issue
they have tailored their designs plans to
maintain at least 3.3 acres of tree preservation between the communities. “We
would even like to consider dedicating
the buffer area to the City as designated
parkland.”
Design plans are expected to showcase a community with approximately
130 townhouses with front-loading and
rear-loading garages. Approximately
fourteen of the townhouses will be a
part of the Moderately Price Dwelling
Unit program with the City of Rockville.
Katz estimated the market value of the
townhouses would range from the mid
$600,’s to the mid $700’s. The aesthetics and feel of the community will be
blended with the existing exterior color
scheme of the office complex. There will
not be any cut-through traffic through
King Farm as the two communities
would not connect. The residential entrance to the community would be situated on Rockville Pike/Route 355.
Cain noted that a traffic analysis
and noise study will be completed in
the coming weeks. If approved, the
community would be at least a three
year project from final completion.

King Farmers Celebrate Summer
Hawaiian Luau Style
By Andrea Escher
E
ach summer the
crowd who attends
the King Farm Hawaiian Luau on the lawn
just keeps getting bigger and bigger, and this
year was no exception.
Hundreds of neighbors arrived dressed
in their Hawaiian best
on Saturday, July 11 in
celebration of the community’s biggest summer event.
Neighbors of all ages
were treated to an authentic Hawaiian luau performance by a new group,
Tino’s Hawaiian Shows. The show included special performances by the hula dances with amazing costume
changes and an entertaining fire dance. The kids and
even the dads couldn’t resist going up on stage to shake
a little hula for the crowd.
We received lots of feedback on this
summer’s event and plan
to make
some changes for
next year’s Luau. We hope to
bring back the regular performer’s from year’s past
(Tuika and his family) and realize that as this event grows
larger and larger each year it
becomes more difficult to
see the performers. Plans
are in the works to erect
staging next summer so that everyone on the lawn will be able to sit and enjoy the
show without any obstructions.

Rain Reschedules King Farm
4th of July Parade & Carnival
I
t was a less than ideal morning for the
celebration of the 4th of July as a rainstorm swept through the area on Satur-
day, July 4. But thanks to our fabulous vendors, the annual parade and carnival was
quickly rescheduled for Sunday, July 5.
The rescheduled event was welcomed
by sunny skies and warm temperatures
which provided a great afternoon for the
parade and carnival on the lawn. Neighbors
met at King Farm Park where our friends
from Rockville Volunteer Fire Station and
Travilah Fire Station 32 arrived with two
fire trucks to safely lead the parade. Adults
and kids rode their bikes, trikes, strollers
and roller blades down the parade route
waving to the many neighbors who enjoyed
all the action from their front porches.
The Saddle Ridge Community Center
lawn and rear parking lot was transformed
into a carnival with a giant obstacle courses, moonbounces, mechanical rides, face
painting and more.
Residents also participated in the “Screamin Geese” swim team BBQ fundraiser,
where swim team dads grilled up an old
fashioned BBQ of hot dogs and hamburgers. A special thanks to all the swim team

A Celebration of Peace,
A Birthday and Fireworks
By Andrea Escher

n June 22, the City of Rockville Council declared July 17, the 25th birthday
of Mattie J.T. Stepanek, a day of peace
for local citizens. The City was the first community to publicly support the petition sponsored
by Maryland Senators and Mattie’s Foundation
asking U.S. President Barack Obama to declare July 17 a nationally recognized Peace Day for citizens
of the entire country.
But before the official “day of peace,” the Mattie J.T. Stepanek Foundation hosted a Peace Gathering to celebrate Mattie’s birthday and peace day. Open to everyone of all ages, the event was held at
the Mattie Park in the Peace Garden on Saturday, July 4, to coincide with the City’s Independence
Day celebration and fireworks.
The Peace Gathering included “Play after the storm” peace games, featured artist Jan Deiden on
the wooden flutes, the Huneven Music Studio violins, Jacob Jones on the bells, Barry McConatha
and Laura Bauer on guitar and vocals and more. Special guests Mayor Bridget Newton of Rockville,
and members from the Rockville City Council spoke a few words, as well as Kathleen Matthews. Jenni
Stepanek, Mattie’s mother, provided final words of reflection, hope and the importance of continuing to spread the message of peace. The evening concluded with cake, conversation and fireworks!

King Farm Resident
Finds the Perfect Fit
King Farm resident and
personal stylist
Tracy Smith
W
hen most people hear the words
“custom clothing” they see dollar
signs, and lots of them. Not so, insists Tracy
Smith, a personal stylist for men’s custom
clothier J.Hilburn. Smith says she can fit
men for a custom dress shirt for as little as
$99 and a full suit for less than $1,000. The
secret? J.Hilburn cuts out the middleman to
buy material directly from the manufacturer and then passes on those savings to the
consumer. Founded in 2007 by two former
Wall Street workers, the company boasts a
network of thousands of independent stylists nationwide who meet with clients in
person. Last year’s revenues totaled $53
million.
A King Farm resident, Smith joined
J.Hilburn this past spring after admiring the
shirt a friend’s husband was wearing. “He
told me he purchased it through J.Hilburn.
I got interested in the company and thought
to myself, ‘I can do this.’ I spent hours in
my mom’s sewing room growing up, and
I’ve always loved fashion and textiles, so it’s
the ideal creative outlet for me,” says Smith,
who has about half a dozen J.Hilburn clients right here in the community.
For new clients, Smith offers a free consultation and personal styling session to
gauge their clothing needs and personal
style. She then takes detailed measurements
and helps clients sort through the dizzying
array of custom options, including fabric
type (many from premier Italian mills),
pattern, pocket and collar type and thread
color. There’s even an option for a larger
cuff size to accommodate a watch. “If you
buy a shirt off the rack, oftentimes it will fit
great in one area but be too loose or tight
in another. We make sure it fits great everywhere, no matter what your size and shape,”
says Smith. Each shirt features the client’s
initials printed on the inside collar, and all
clothing items are hand-delivered to the client by Smith.
J.Hilburn also sells suits, sport coats,
pants, cashmere sweaters, outerwear, AG
denim, ties, formal wear, shorts and shoes.
“Many men hate to shop and don’t have the
time,” explains Smith. They also don’t like
to be fitted in the middle of a busy store.
I can meet clients at their home, office or
wherever is most convenient for them.”
Smith says she never tires of the end result, a perfectly tailored, custom clothing
item. “Everyone deserves to have a shirt
that really fits them and makes them feel
good. When you look good, you feel good,”
she says.
For more information, call 301-7877683 or e-mail [email protected]. Smith will also have a booth at
the King Farm Fall Festival on Sunday,
October 4.

New Kiddie Academy Feeds
Children’s Bodies and Brains
By Kate Myers
I
t took four years and countless hours
spent crisscrossing the State, but Namita Shah and her husband finally
found the perfect space for Kiddie Academy, their brand-new childcare center, located just down the street from King Farm
on Gaither Drive. The 10,000-square-foot
facility, a former Blockbuster warehouse,
has been completely gutted and remodeled to accommodate the educational, social and physical needs of children ages six
weeks through 12 years.
“We worked hard to give it a welcoming, home-like feel with lots of windows
and natural light,” says Shah. The finished
product includes nine bright, colorful
classrooms and a large multipurpose room
for special events and indoor play.
As a franchise, all Kiddie Academy interiors must follow corporate standards;
however, the Shah’s had free reign on the
playground. Namita Shah, a former interior
August 2015
designer, spent three months putting her
creative stamp on a fun, safe outdoor space
with separate areas for toddlers and older
children.
In a town overflowing with childcare
options, Shah highlights two aspects that
set Kiddie Academy apart: its focus on
healthy eating and its state-of-the-art remote monitoring system for parents.
On the food front, all meals and snacks
are prepared on-site and served family style
to create a more social eating experience.
The Shah’s even hired a holistic health
coach from New York City to design Kiddie Academy’s menu, which changes every

What’s Happening
With King Farm
Community Service?
By Josh Cheatwood, Chairman
Manna Food Warehouse
On the third Saturday of every
month we package boxes of food for
needy families. Volunteers begin working 9:00 a.m. and are usually finished by
11:00 a.m. depending on the number of
volunteers. The warehouse is located at
9311 Gaither Road, Gaithersburg, MD
20877. This is a great opportunity for
graduating seniors to fulfill their service
credits! New volunteers are always encouraged and welcomed. Please contact
Gail Singer at [email protected] or
call 301-990-1808 for more information.
Interfaith Clothing Center (ICC)
The ICC is a popular community
service project. The center distributes
new or gently used, clean clothing and
household goods to low-income families. Our volunteers help one day a
month putting items on hangers, neatly
displaying items and assisting customers. We are always in need of volunteers
who are at least 12 years of age (ages 1215 must have a parent or guardian present). Students can receive community
service credits if needed. The ICC is located at 751 Twinbrook Parkway, Rockville, MD 20851. Anyone interested in
partaking in this project should contact
Ira at [email protected] or call 301990-1808.
Planning Meeting
Our next planning meeting will be
held at the King Farm Community Center on Saddle Ridge Circle on August
17, 2015 at 7:30 p.m. We welcome new
residents as well as current residents to
come and see what the King Farm Community Service is doing for King Farm
and the surrounding area. If you need
further information about the King
Farm Community Service or would like
to be added to the member list please
contact Josh Cheatwood at [email protected].
Time to start thinking of the Fall Festival. Stop by and check out the booth
to learn what you can do for your community. We would love to tell you about
all that we do and all that we will be doing! Please remember the Coat Drive is
coming soon! Start saving all your gently
used or new coats, hats, gloves, shoes,
and all other cold weather gear so we
can again help those in need get thru
winter a little easier!!

two weeks. “This is not a heat and serve kitchen,” says Shah. “We serve
familiar recipes with a healthy twist.” Examples include whole-wheat pasta with “hidden” veggies, quinoa black bean burgers and macaroni and
cheese made with coconut milk. Instead of Goldfish and graham crackers,
children snack on Greek yogurt with granola and fresh berries, cucumbers
and dip or hummus with whole-wheat crackers.
Shah says most children are receptive to the fruit- and vegetable-heavy
dishes and snacks and no one is pressured to clean his or her plate. The
biggest fans, however, are parents. “Most working parents love the fact
that meals and snacks are included in tuition. It’s one less thing for them
to worry about in the morning, and it’s a great strategy for picky eaters,”
says Shah, who adds that Kiddie Academy is competitively priced.
Parents who want to see if their child really did eat their vegetables can
log on to Kiddie Academy’s WatchMeGrow live streaming service that allows them to monitor their child in their classroom anytime from a Wi-Fi
enabled device or Web browser. The feature costs an extra $10 a month
and parents who enroll receive four passwords that they can share with
grandparents or other relatives.
Since opening last month, Shah has been busy conducting tours for
prospective parents. She expects enrollment to rise dramatically as fall
approaches and hopes to build a strong relationship with the King Farm
community. “We were so happy to find such a convenient location,”
says Shah. “It’s a great option for King Farm families. We want everyone
to know that we’re here for the long haul.”
Kiddie Academy offers childcare from six weeks to five years, beforeand after-school care for children through age 12, a preschool program
and a pre-K option for children who miss the cut-off date for kindergarten. Full- and half-day options are available for ages two through five,
and discounts are offered for siblings.
Kiddie Academy is located at 15895 Gaither Drive. Hours are 6:30
a.m. to 6:00 p.m. For more information, call 301-978-7468 or visit www.

What’s Happening at Ingleside at King Farm?
Ingleside to Break Ground on
Dining Services Expansion
In September

ditional dining space.
During phase two, the new construction portion of the project, Ingleside will add a
brand-new kitchen and bistro. Once this phase is complete in early 2018, Today’s Bistro
will become the formal dining room. Ingleside, which owns 11 acres in King Farm and
currently occupies less than half of that, will use its existing land to construct the kitchen
and bistro. The new bistro will be much larger and residents will not be required to make
a reservation. Leist said Ingleside worked closely with its food service provider, FLIK, to
design the new spaces and added that the changes reflect an overall industry trend toward more casual dining. “Dining experiences and food quality have always been major
priorities for us,” says Leist. “Most Continuing Care Retirement Communities change
their menus every six months; we change ours every six weeks.”
Leist alluded to more construction on the horizon but declined to elaborate before
receiving approval from the City and Department of Aging.
CITY News & Events

ngleside at King Farm will embark on a two-and-a-half-year expansion and renovation effort in September to expand and modernize its dining services. According to
Executive Director Marilyn Leist, the project, which has received approval from the
City of Rockville and the Department of Aging, will be completed in two phases. While
Ingleside still waits on some permit approvals from the City, Leist says their residents
thrilled about the upcoming enhancements.
Since reaching capacity in 2012, just three years after opening its doors, Ingleside has
been feeling the squeeze in its eating areas. Ingleside currently offers three dining options for its 370 residents: the Marketplace Café, the Bistro and a formal dining room.
In order to accommodate residents comfortably at mealtimes, two of those options, the
Bistro and formal dining room, require reservations. Leist says residents prefer reservation-free dining and often elect to eat at the Marketplace Café, leading to long lines and
overcrowding at the light-fare, self-serve eatery.
Phase one of the project, which should take approximately six months, will double
the size of the Marketplace Café and give it a more contemporary look and feel. While
the café is closed during construction, Ingleside will use its multipurpose room for ad-

City Hosts ‘Rockville 2040’
Listening Sessions
What Do You Want Rockville to be
Like in 2040?
The city is updating its 2002 Comprehensive Master Plan, which describes the
vision for the city’s future. The plan’s goal
is to preserve and improve the quality of
life in Rockville by guiding development
and conservation, and assuring the city’s
ability to provide high-quality community
facilities.
Community members, businesses and
others are invited to get involved in Rockville 2040 – the process to update the master plan and express their vision for the
community’s future. The city will host listening sessions, throughout
Rockville over the next few months,
at which city staff will share information
about the master plan update and hear
views regarding the future of Rockville
neighborhoods.
Stop by a session to learn more about
Rockville 2040 and to share thoughts on
your area of the city and Rockville as a
whole. The schedule of listening sessions
and more Rockville 2040 information is at
www.rockvillemd.gov/rockville2040, where
you can also sign up to receive email up-

Rockville Voters to Elect Mayor and
Council in November
Deadline for Candidates to File is
Sept. 4
Rockville residents interested in running for mayor or a council seat may view
the candidate information packet online
at www.rockvillemd.gov/election15 or pick
up a copy from the City Clerk’s Office. The
deadline to file as a candidate is Friday,
Sept. 4. The 2015 election will see three key
changes:
Four-Year Term:
For the first time, Rockville voters will
elect a Mayor and Council to serve a fouryear term. This change was favored by a
majority of voters in a 2013 ballot question
and then enacted by the current Mayor and
Council. After 2015, the next city election
will take place in 2019.
New Voting Machines:
Rockville is the first community in
Maryland to pilot a new optical scan voting system, which allows voters to feed
their hand-marked paper ballot into an optical scanner for tabulation. The new system is used by many other states and will
be implemented throughout Maryland in
April 2016.
August 2015
District 7 Polling Place Moving:
Residents in the city’s District 7 voting
area (roughly west of I-270 and south of
Route 28) will no longer vote at Ritchie
Park Elementary School. The new polling place will be at the Latvian Lutheran
Church, 400 Hurley Ave.

you can register to vote at www.rockvillemd.
