A Border Without Controversy
By Christina Xu
Kentlands?
Lakelands?
L akelands? Kentlands? T his
question has puzzled many a
Gaithersburgian. But at last,
the truth will be revealed and
the myth that the Kentlands
and Lakelands are “pretty much
the same thing” will at last be
busted.
We begin with a brief overview of
the two communities. According
to their prospective websites,
the Kentlands, founded in the
late 1980s, is an “award-winning
neo-traditional communit y.”
The Lakelands, created in
1998, is a “340-acre Traditional
Neighborhood Development.”
So the moment of t ruth
Clyde Horton, Rachel Carreras and Sawyer Smith
approaches — where is the border?

But what does that mean? The communities are rather
and Staff Liaison to the Board of
evenly divided. Lakelands includes Lakes Nirvana, Sheila,
Appeals says, the border “follows Inspiration Lane, crosses
Varuna, and Turtle Pond. Kentlands includes Lakes Helene,
Main Street, then goes along the back of the live-works, then
Inspiration, and Lynette. Lakelands is home to Lakelands
crosses Heathwalk Street and runs behind the condos on
Park Middle School. Kentlands has Rachel Carson Elementary
Chevy Chase Street.”

The pool will remain open on Sunday and Monday of
Labor Day weekend, and will close to swimmers at 5:45
p.m. on Monday, September 3. The 2012 pool season will
then culminate with the Annual Dog Swim from 6:30
– 8:00 p.m. when all Lakelands residents are invited to
bring their dogs to the pool, for the one and only time of
the year that Lakelands canine residents get to enjoy the
water!
Just a few rules apply to make this a fun event for everyone.
Dogs will only be allowed in the main pool. We ask that
owners do not accompany their dogs in the pool. Please
keep your dog on a leash while on the pool deck. It’s a
good idea to take your dog on a long walk before coming

Labor Day weekend is traditionally the final weekend
of the summer. It’s also the last weekend the Lakelands
pool will be open. Don’t miss this last opportunity to
enjoy our community’s most popular amenity! The
Social Committee is hosting a Raft Night on Saturday,
September 1, from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. A DJ will provide
musical entertainment and Rita’s Italian ice will be
available to all residents.
to the dog swim to ensure he has done his business before
entering the pool. But just in case, please bring bags for
clean up.
On a final note, residents are reminded to keep their pool
passes. A fee will be charged to replace all lost cards. So
keep them in a safe place until next year!

Community Educational Workshop
From Our Neighborhood to the Potomac:
What We Can Do in Our Community to Protect
Our Rivers, Parks and Our Drinking Water
By Cynthia Pansing
Did you know that the Potomac River is one of the major
sources of our drinking water? Did you know that how we
care for our yards and neighborhood green spaces can affect
the quality of the water we drink? Would you like to learn
more about what you can do to help keep our neighborhood,
streams, parks and our drinking water clean and safe?
To find out the answers to these and related questions,
you are invited to a Community Educational Workshop
co-sponsored by the Muddy Branch Alliance and
Kentlands Community Foundation’s GO GREEN group
at the Lakelands Clubhouse in the Green Room on
September 25 from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. Representatives

fellow neighbors will share information about what we
can all do to enhance the health of our community and
green spaces while helping to keep our drinking water
clean.

City Taking Proactive
Steps to Save Trees
By Gina Dropik
The Emerald Ash Borer (EAB), an
exotic, invasive insect that bores into
the wood of Ash trees, has been found
near the City limits of Gaithersburg.
Adam Newhart, Project Manager for
the City of Gaithersburg’s Department
of Public Works, said that because
Gaithersburg is a Tree City and its
residents care about trees, the City is
being proactive in treating its healthy
Ash trees in public areas to ward off
an EAB infestation.
into the tree through the root zone.
The process involves pulling back the
mulch and soil to a depth of 6–12
inches, pouring the mixture at the
base, covering it and allowing the tree
to drink it in. The active ingredient in
the mixture is Imidacloprid, which is
the most widely used insecticide in the
world. It is used in dog and cat collars
to control fleas and ticks. There will
be no smell or after effects from the
treatment.
In Lakelands, Ash trees can be found
in several areas including Gatestone
Street, Golden Ash Way, Lynette
Street and Sheila Street. Newhart said
that the City will be treating these
trees near the end of September or
early October and should only take
two to three days to complete. This
will be done using a soil injection
method, which delivers a pesticide
While the City will be treating Ash
trees in public areas, homeowners
with Ash trees on their property are
encouraged to contact a Certified
Arborist from a reputable and insured
tree company. Additional information
about EAB, can be found at www.
gaithersburgmd.gov/environment or by
calling the City’s Environmental
Services Division at 301-258-6330.

Lionfish – Looking Back
At 2012 and Forward to 2013
By Krista Brick, Team Manager
It was a fun and exciting six weeks for the Lionfish
and their parents. At times I think we could sum this
season up with one word… Power… or sometimes lack
thereof! Storms, water main breaks and lightning
couldn’t keep the Lionfish from their lightning-fast
swims. Despite two power outages, the Lionfish
family came together to make sure
the meets went off... eventually.
Meet set-up was at lightning-fast
speed. Thanks to everyone who
stepped in to shove concessions
food in their freezers or help pull
off a meet in record time.
We had a powerful Swim Team
Committee that is wrapping up its
two years of volunteering this season;
Lora Zarchin and Tracey Morris – A reps; Paulette
Gaynor – B Rep; Melissa Boswell- Treasurer, Kristi
Swartz – Concessions, and Stacy Soler – Merchandise.
Teri Artino and Anessa Abrams, our Social Chairs have
both agreed to continue on their post.
The power behind our team is our sponsors. We
thank them for all of their support in helping us
make our swim season special. I would like to
extend a special thank you to two of our parents
who were quite literally plugged-in for every meet.
Gina Heath and Erin Nisson input every swimmer
in to every race and log every time for every swim.
They put in countless hours before and after meets
making sure each swimmer got credit for his or her
event.
Chairperson to keep the team on trend with the latest
swim team gear!
Under Coach Brooke Hoffman’s leadership this team
of more than 200 swimmers broke records, learned new
strokes, set personal bests and more importantly had a
blast doing it.
If you are interested in helping out the Lionfish on the
Committee next year and have questions feel free to
contact those committee members finishing up their
duties or the new ones at the helm for next year, or
email [email protected].
We may be wrapping up the races,
but the Swim Team Committee is
still looking for a few team members.
Heading up next year’s committee is
Allegra Lindner as Team Manager
and Doug Woods and Thi-Sau
Migone as A-Reps. We are still in
need of a Concession Chairperson
to coordinate a very helpful group of
volunteers already in place. Not a cook? Not a worry!
Not a qualification of the job!
The team also needs a B-Rep to coordinate Wednesday
meets. This job comes with the aid of a Volunteer
Coordinator. You don’t need to know how to swim, just
how to make sure those who do are in the race!
Another open position on the Committee will have
you seeing green! We need a Treasurer to keep team
finances in order. We have computer programs set up
to help with the accounting; the team just needs this
detail-oriented person to keep the cash straight. For the
fashion conscious the team also needs a Merchandise

School. Both neighborhoods have events buildings
(the Kentlands Clubhouse, the Kentlands Mansion
and the Lakelands Clubhouse) and swim teams that
will even be in the same division next year! The
only edge the Kentlands might have would be the
Midtown shopping area — though it is within short
walking distance of the Lakelands.
The rivalry between the communities seems to be
at a minimum, in spite of perhaps occasional snarky
comments about the Kentlands being better than
the Lakelands, or vice versa. Longtime Kentlands
resident Clyde Horton said, “I believe both
communities are classy places to live. I believe both
care about the quality of their families, the education
of their children and the value of their property.”
In all, confusing borders aside, both-lands are great
places to live!

Inner Reaches for the past eight years.
“I have found all of the students to be
kind, intelligent and mindful. I love
the sense of community here,” she said.
When Inner Reaches owner, Dee Gold,
decided to concentrate her efforts on
her home studio, Neubauer saw a great
opportunity to open her own studio.
She says she chose the name Opus,
which means work of art, because she
feels that the practice of yoga is a way
to express artistry. “Anything can be an
artistic expression and we all need to
express ourselves,” explained Neubauer.
A variety of morning and evening classes
will be offered, beginning on September
9. “I know there are other yoga options,
but we have ten teachers leading classes.
They have many years of experience and
provide a lot of depth and maturity in
their yoga practices.” The eight-week

Focus on Fitness
My Newest Piece of Equipment
By Lenore Gelman, Personal Trainer
I recently purchased an agility ladder. I
love this simple invention. You may have
seen this used with athletes in training.
It has gained much attention as a tool to
help improve speed, agility, and quickness
(also referred to as SAQ). It is definitely
useful for athletes who are trying to
improve those areas. It is also a great
piece of equipment for anyone who wants
to improve their speed, power, agility or
coordination skills for better performance
in any sport, or in their
personal workout.
Forward quickness, lateral
movements and quick
changes in direction
can be greatly improved
with the ladder. Football,
soccer, tennis, and
basketball are just a few
examples of sports that
require SAQ skills. In
addition, you never know
when these movements can come in
handy during your everyday activities.
According to SKLZ, a company that
produces the agility ladder, there are
hundreds of foot patterns that can
be implemented with the ladder. I
am finding that it is best to work in a
progressive pattern with the skills that
are possible. The following is a sample
agility workout that can be practiced,
beginning with the most basic foot
patterns and moving to higher level
patterns involving some fancy footwork.
If you don’t have an agility ladder simply
take a piece of chalk and draw yourself a
ladder on the sidewalk.
Warm-Up
Perform a variety of dynamic stretches
and total body movements for 5 minutes.
Workout
One Foot Runs – This
is basically running
through the ladder,
one foot in each
square. This move
will help with basic
coordination and
practice of stepping
patterns.
by placing that foot into the first square.
Repeat the exercise leading with the
other foot. As you become familiar with
the exercise, pick up the pace.
Rotational Twist – This drill improves
full-body rotations and balance to
prevent falls and sprained ankles and
knees. Stand and face the ladder. Jump
and turn in mid-air 180 degrees, and land
in the first square. Repeat this pattern as
you continue across the ladder.
Hop Scotch – Start with both feet
inside the first box. As you hop forward,
straddle your legs so you land outside
the next box. Repeat this inside and
outside pattern down the length of the
ladder.
Lateral Hops – Stand sideways next
to the end of the ladder. Using the leg
closest to the ladder, hop on that one leg
all the way down the ladder. Repeat on
the other leg.
Jump Cuts – Feet are kept together as
you hop in and out of the ladder. Go
Two Foot Runs – This
time both feet must land in each square
as you run through the ladder. The
motion is shorter and faster than those
used in one foot runs.
Lateral Steps – Stand sideways at the end
of the ladder with one foot in a square
and one foot outside. Lead with the foot
that is in the ladder, and step into the
next square. Follow with the trailing leg
FILM PRODUCTION WORKSHOP
down one side only and then repeat on
the other side. This is great for any sport
requiring quick cuts.
After running through these drills,
you can head for a set of dumbbells
and perform an upper body strength
workout. If you did not get enough of
a lower body workout with the above
exercises, you can always jog back over
to your ladder and perform a variety
of lunges and side squats through the
boxes.
Cool Down
End with some stretching and flexibility
exercises, especially for your quads and
hamstrings.

By Lily Milwit, QOHS Class of 2014
On the heels of a fresh, new school year, students and
parents can mark their calendars with several important
dates to get back into the swing of things.
Quince Orchard High School
As QOHS prepares to celebrate its 25th year of creating
excellence, the Booster Club, PTSA, and school
administrators plan for their best year yet. The first
official event of the school year will be Back To School
Night, which will occur on September 6 at 7:00 p.m.
The Booster Club will be offering new spirit wear for
all who wish to display their Cougar pride.
The first Booster Club meeting will be held on
September 11 at 7:00 p.m. and everyone is welcome

heads, and learn about ways to get involved. The first
QOHS PTSA meeting will be held on September 19,

weeks, will be opening their seasons and carrying on
the traditions of QOHS’s superior athletic department.

Teens in Our Community
Ambition Defines Christina Xu
By Dakota Burton, QOHS Class of 2014
Richard Montgomery High School
(RMHS) junior and Lakelands resident
Christina Xu keeps herself busy with
a variety of activities and positions.
An active member of the community,
musician, dancer, and writer are among
her diverse titles.
has helped Xu realize her love of writing.
“In the IB program we do a lot of writing
and have a strong focus on English.
Through that I figured out that writing
is something I really enjoy,” says Xu, who
was recently appointed a section editor
for her school newspaper, The Tide. A
strong influence on her writing is one of
her favorite magazine writers, Joel Stein.
“[Stein] writes humor columns for Time
magazine. He is absolutely hilarious and
such an intelligent man,” comments Xu.
Xu is one of the select students who
participate in the International
Baccalaureate (IB) program at RMHS,
a program for very committed students
who take on a rigorous course load in
preparation for college. The IB program
Aside from writing, Xu is involved in
many other activities at school. She
participates in Model Congress and
Model United Nations, and is also a
member of the RMHS Rockets’ Poms
team.
Xu doesn’t stop there. She is a very
active member of the community. Xu
volunteers with the local organization
Sports Plus at the Quince Orchard
Swim and Tennis Club, a program run
by Lakelands residents, Natalie and
Tom Liniak, that helps developmentally
disabled kids learn how to swim. “It’s
been a fantastic experience and the kids
definitely teach me more than I teach
them,” adds Xu, who is also a member
of the coach-in-training staff for the
Lakelands Lionfish. “It’s really fun. I
get to dress up like a crazy person and
scream until my throat starts getting
scratchy,” remarks Xu of coaching. And
when she has time, Xu occasionally
coaches for her old swimming club, the
Hydro-Sonic Tiburones. “Let’s just say
that I can’t stay out of the water for long
in the summer,” says Xu.
An intelligent student, talented
musician and dancer, and a dedicated
member of the community, the list
goes on and on for Xu. Although she
probably won’t need it, best of luck to
Xu during her junior year at RMHS!
Believe it or not, Xu participates in even
more activities outside of school! She
takes violin lessons at the Kentlands
Music Studio and also writes for the
Town Courier. She spends quite a lot of
time at the Strathmore, where she takes
dance lessons at the CityDance Center
and plays in the Maryland Classic Youth
Orchestra. “Strathmore is a fantastic
venue that has really become somewhat
of a second home to me,” says Xu.

Meet Your Neighbor
Liz Fontek, RCES PTA President
and New Business Owner
By Gina Dropik
September is a busy month for
most parents. The beginning of the
school year means getting back to the
routine of earlier bed times, meeting
the bus, homework and after-school
activities. For Lakelands resident Liz
Fontek, mother of two Rachel Carson
Elementary School (RCES) students,
this time of year is especially busy.
Fontek is serving her second term as
president of the RCES PTA.
When she quit her full-time job of
16 years as a Development Director
for the JCC, she saw the opportunity
to start volunteering, and her sons’
school seemed like the obvious place
to start. She stepped in as a member
of the Nominating Committee for the
PTA and the next thing she knew, she
was PTA President. “Overall, it has
been a good experience,” she said. “It’s
a really good way to learn about the
school.”
When she took the position for the
2011–2012 school year, practically the
entire board was new so they all learned
together how to run a meeting and plan
events. She credits fellow Lakelanders
Erin Stillwell and Indu Levine for
helping her through the school year.
“I never really liked public speaking. I
was okay if it was people I knew in a
small group setting, but I had to talk at
Back to School Night and I was really
nervous,” she recalls. After a year,
Fontek admits she has become much
more comfortable speaking in public.
She says that another advantage of
serving as President of the PTA is that
she has met a lot of people and formed
many new friendships.
Of her first year as President, Fontek said
it was a great year because of the Blue
Ribbon designation. “That was really
exciting.” This year she has two main
goals. One is to increase membership.
“Because that is the basis of everything
we do,” she explained. Secondly, Fontek
said that she hopes to offer more clubs
for the students. Her sons, fifth-grader
Jonathon and third-grader Ethan, both
help out with her PTA work, which
she says has really given them the
opportunity to get to know the school
and their teachers in a different way.
As if serving as PTA President at a school
of nearly 900 students isn’t enough,
Fontek has also started Energie Plus
Personal Training, her own business
as a personal trainer and running
coach. She has turned a portion of her
basement into a fitness studio, where
she offers her services to people of all
levels. She particularly likes to use the
CrossFit approach which enhances
competency at all physical tasks through
the use of kettlebells.
Although she was on the track team
in high school, Fontek said she never
really took running seriously until she
quit her job. “At first I was running
for stress relief and I could barely run
a mile, but then a friend and I started
running together and before long, I was
running my first half-marathon,” she
recalled. While she was working fulltime, she didn’t work out at all, but she
soon realized she really liked being fit
and wanted to be even more fit. She
is now a certified running coach with
the Road Runners Club and a certified
trainer through the National Academy
of Sports Medicine.

free assessment in the studio or at the

Leaving Lakelands for Venice
By Jay Horman
This article usually highlights places that
most Lakelanders can travel to in a day.
But in a change from my usual article I am
writing about Venice, to share a bit about my
family’s summer vacation. My wish is that
everyone has this opportunity at some point
in their life!
Ah, Venice, Italy. It is so different as to
be almost mythical — a city built on the
water hundreds of years ago, in brave
defiance of any basic building principles
and even logic itself. It is at the same
time charming and sad, vibrant and
dead. Venice is guaranteed to leave an
impression.
If you like to travel, a good wreck will
often spell opportunity for you. And
so we booked a Mediterranean cruise
on the same route along which the
Costa Concordia sank, at a price that
was practically a give-away. We took my
mother along for good luck, as she had
sailed on the Costa Concordia a few
years ago and it didn’t sink. We were
confident and sure things would go our
way. They did, and Venice was a real
highlight.
Things in Venice are just different. The
water isn’t just a canal, like you see at the
from Dean’s suggestions and off we
went.
“Mom, you know Venice is an island and
as Rick Steves says, you can’t get lost —
because eventually you’ll hit the edge.” “So
is Manhattan” was her retort. So we took
out the map and found Miseracordia; an
alley not far from the western edge of the
city, where the cruise ship was docked. We
were promised a small selection of places
with world-class food, serving people in
the know versus people on the tour. It was
the best of the best.
Miseracordia alley isn’t marked well, but
is connected to a major street just off the
Grand Canal. It isn’t wide — two people
passing would need to turn sideways to
pass each other. Mom was vocal about
her concerns of being either poisoned or
kidnapped. But about three blocks down
the barren alley was a small restaurant,
with four tables and one man speaking
broken English.
“This must be the place” so we sat down
and asked for menus. No menus, just a
board that he propped against our table.
Six choices for mains, six for secundi.
We could recognize most of the dishes
(basic pastas, ham and melon, eggplant
was crowded, fun and our pictures are
basically crappy versions of ones you can
find for free online. This was ‘tourist
Venice’ and we wanted more.
As night fell and we returned to the
ship, it became apparent that Venice
was hollow. Like Main Street in Disney
World, it is wonderful and feels homey…
but there’s no one there. Venice has lost
the majority of its population over the
last 20 years as it sinks under the water.
A major water control project may halt
the decline, and Venice may recover.
Let’s hope.
On day two we decided to wing it. No
maps, no goals. We’d just go in, get
gloriously lost, and then come out.
That’s the takeaway here — if you go to
Venice, please do this. The “chorus pass”
allows entrance to more than a dozen
of the biggest Venetian churches and
provides guides to the art and artifacts
found therein. By wandering, you end
up stumbling upon these places as the
walls prevent you from seeing them from
far away. It is like a fun house maze with
stone walls and some paths of stone,
others of water.
I believe you’ve captured Venice when
you have a gelato, then venture down
a tunnel-like alley and it dead-ends at
a crossing canal. You sit in the shade
watching the water go by, sitting long
“Menus? We have one menu and it has
binder clips” — sometimes the best things
in life are simple and effective. The quality
of the food in this little cafe down a Venice
alley far exceeded the prices shown.
enough to have a wayfaring gondola glide
by. You wave and smile at the riders, they
nod back. Quiet, relaxed and old, this is
the Venice you came for. A little louder
and newer is what Venice needs right
now. You just are appreciative of the
chance to enjoy it while you can.
Remember When?
This Month in Lakelands History
2003
Two Lakelands residents wave as they ride their vaparetto down the Grand Canal in Venice.
Sadly, the building in the background is likely abondoned, a victim of rising waters.
Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas. The water
is everywhere, and in many cases there
is no walkway. Exploring, therefore,
becomes a choice… do you want to try
to use a map and navigate the perfect
path, or simply get a little lost, taking a
‘we’ll eventually get there’ attitude? I can
tell you that the latter was much more
successful for me.
We had two days in Venice and on the
first day I decided to find a place for
lunch as recommended by Dean Gold,
owner of Dino’s in Cleveland Park and
a known American expert on Venice.
With hyper-expensive internet access
from the cruise ship, I should have
done my homework before leaving…
but I jotted down “Miseracordia”
parmesan, etc.) and his charades helped
us get the rest. The prices were about $6
per dish.
FABULOUS! The prosciutto and melon
were sliced as we watched, the Bolognese
was simmering as the pasta cooked and
the meal was one of the best I’d had,
maybe ever. There was no one else there,
and that was fine. We relaxed and spoke
with the owner in fragments of English
and Italian.
We enjoyed the Vaparettos, large water
taxis that are the Venice equivalent of
the Metro system. We went to St Mark’s
Square; saw a few other old, voluminous
churches and such… following the welltrod paths of the tourist crowds. It

Guest Speaker to Tell Story
of Triumph over Ku Klux Klan
By Gina Dropik
The Lakelands book clubs are proud to
welcome author and musician, Daryl
Davis, as a guest speaker at their joint
meeting on October 4 at 7:30 p.m. at
the Lakelands Clubhouse. Davis will
be discussing his book, Klan-Destine
Relationships, which is his first-person
account of a black man’s journey into the
Ku Klux Klan.
Born a child of privilege, Davis was
motivated to understand the reason behind
prejudice when, as a teenager, a member of
the Ku Klux Klan told him that he would
be shipped back to Africa. He started to
gather information on the organization
and eventually formed relationships with
Klan members. Through the book, he
shares the highlights of this journey and
explains how he ultimately became friends
with members, was able to show them he
was just like everyone else, and ultimately
was responsible for several members
renouncing the Klan.
Davis has received
acclaim for Klan-Destine
