Beatty Withdraws Plan
August 4-6:
Beatty Management Company has withdrawn its pending
schematic development and site plan amendment applications
seeking approval of up to 5% office and educational uses in
Kentlands Market Square. According to Ken Miller, Chief
Operating Officer for Beatty, they have chosen to withdraw the
application in order to further explore community concerns
and analyze how they might be addressed. Miller said, “Our
intention in filing the application was purely to enrich the mix
of uses in the center and allow for complementary uses that
we believe would be an important first step in revitalizing the
center. We now understand the depth of the community’s
interest in our plans for the property, however, and will pursue
any future amendments only after conducting appropriate
outreach with the many stakeholders within and around the
community.” Miller added that he looks forward to continuing
to foster relationships with the community and working together
on future plans for Kentlands Market Square. August 11-13: The Croods

Out (NNO), America’s Night Out Against Crime. The Lakelands
Community Association (LCA) and Kentlands Citizens Assembly
(KCA) invite all residents to join in the celebration.
NNO is a project of the National Association of Town Watch,

This is the 32nd annual NNO event. In 2014, more than 38
million people participated, including citizens, law enforcement
agencies, community groups, businesses, youth organizations
and local, state, and federal officials from 16,540 communities
from all 50 states, U.S. territories,
Canadian cities and military bases.

It is the hope of the LCA and KCA that this event will

The Lakelands Leader
Registration is Open for Kentlands/Lakelands 5K
This year marks the 22nd running of the Kentlands/
Lakelands 5K Run, Walk and Kids Fun Run, Montgomery
County’s largest 5K. As always, the event will be held on the
Saturday of Labor Day weekend, September 5, beginning at
8:00 a.m. The USATF-certified 5K course begins and ends
in Kentlands Downtown, runs through both Kentlands and
Lakelands neighborhoods, and features live entertainment
and two water stops along the way. The race will be timed
using a chip timing system which allows quick and accurate
scoring. The 5K Merchant Expo Festival and Awards
Ceremony will be held in Market Square Plaza, immediately
following the race.
Two kids fun runs include the Toddler Trot, which is
a quarter mile run (recommended for children under five)
and the Kids Dash, which is approximately a half mile run
(recommended for ages 6 to 14.) Both races run along Main
Street and finish under the official race finish line. The Fun
Runs are untimed and will start in waves to allow for a smooth
start for all children.
The next best thing to participating in the Kentlands 5K
Race is volunteering and being a part of this great community
event. Traditionally, more than 100 volunteers help to make
the event a success. There are a variety of opportunities,
from packet pick-up assistants to race day Course Marshals
(a critical job that ensures the safety and enjoyment for the
runners and everyone involved in the day). Students earn SSL
hours, and all volunteers get a free t-shirt, free breakfast on
race day, and an invitation to the annual 5K Volunteer Thank
You Party. A complete list of volunteer opportunities and
registration is available online.
As a non-profit and philanthropic organization, the
Kentlands Community Foundation (KCF) hosts the race to
not only raise funds to sustain its programming, but to share a
substantial amount of the proceeds with other local charities.
Last year the Foundation donated $10,500 of race proceeds
to local charities, and to date has donated over $100,000.
This year’s beneficiaries include the City of Gaithersburg’s
Dolores C. Swoyer Camp Scholarship Fund, which provides
fees for underprivileged youths to attend summer camp; The
Dwelling Place, which provides housing opportunities and
support for families experiencing homelessness; MCPAW, a
local animal shelter; and the Maryland Senior Olympics. For
more information: [email protected]
Registration is now open, with discounted fees for early
registration. Visit www.kentlands.org for more information, to
register to run, walk or volunteer!

Q: I will be graduating from high school soon and going
out of state for college in the fall, while my girlfriend will be
attending Montgomery College. She and I have been together
for most of high school and we really care about each other, but
we have differing opinions on whether or not to stay together
after I leave. I don’t think long distance will work for us, but
I am not sure how to tell her this without breaking her heart.
What should I do?
A: Take some time to reflect on how you are feeling and what the
best option is for both of you in the long run. One thing in life
that will always hold true is that you will get your heart broken,
and that you will break someone else’s heart. It is not realistic to
think that you can avoid this part of life, but understandably, it is
hard to come to terms with it. Part of dating is to get to know what
you want in a partner, so it is important to date different people
and see what works for you. It may benefit you to go with your gut
feeling in this situation. It seems like you are confident that you
are not comfortable with being in a long distance relationship.
Let your girlfriend know that you feel this way; explain to her that
you care about her and don’t want to do anything that would hurt
her while you are away. You can tell her that you would like to do
the mature thing, let each other experience life, and if you get
back together in the future then maybe it is meant to be. By going
with your gut feeling now, instead of avoiding breaking her heart
because it puts you in an uncomfortable position, you are taking
care of her and yourself. Better to be up front and honest than to
end up hurting each other more in the long run.

FOCUS ON FITNESS
Life’s a Beach Workout
By Lenore Gelman, Personal Trainer
I love vacationing at the beach. I especially love getting in
a few awesome workouts while on vacation. The combination of
the water, breeze, ocean scents, and sand makes for a fabulous
atmosphere. Of course, the sand also creates a challenge that
cannot be replicated anywhere else. This is a beach workout I
will definitely be doing while away. I hope you will want to try it
too. It is total body conditioning, so you can efficiently get in both
cardio and bodyweight strength training. Always remember to
leave time for a dynamic warm up and a complete cool down.
Your muscles will thank you.
• Start with a ½ to 1 mile walk or run on firm sand. If you can
do this barefoot, it will work all kinds of muscles in your feet,
calves, legs, hips, and glutes, and you will really feel it.
• 2 rounds: 20 squats, 20 push ups, 20 sand dips (sit in the sand
with your legs in front and feet flat on sand you put your hands
behind your body, lift your hips up high off the sand, and then
bend and straighten the arms).
• Shuttle sprints – run or step with high knees 20 steps, back to
starting point. Repeat 9 more times.
• 2 rounds: 100 mountain climbers, 50 bodyweight Russian twists
• Box sprints – mark off a large box in the sand. Alternate run,
side shuffle, backwards run, side shuffle. Go 5 times clockwise
around the box, then reverse direction.
• 2 rounds: crab walks toward the water, when your fingers touch
the water, flip over and bear crawl back to starting point.
• Bounding hops and leaps across the sand – first complete 5
bounding jumps with both feet together, then alternating legs
as you leap for 10 steps. Repeat 5 times.
• 2 rounds: around the world plank – start in elbow plank hold ,
rotate to left side plank hold, rotate to both elbows on ground
behind you (reverse plank), rotate to right side plank, and
return to elbow plank. 30 seconds each hold.
• Inchworms to a downward dog push up – from a standing
position, reach hands toward sand, walk out to a downward
dog, then perform 5 push ups (much more work for the
shoulders). Reverse the direction to a standing position,
repeat 4 times.
• Lateral side squats for 20 steps across the sand, stay low. Reverse
the direction. Repeat 5 times.
• 2 rounds: glute kickbacks and fire hydrants – get on hands
and knees and alternate lifting legs 2 directions while bent at
the knee at a 90 degree angle. First lift leg so foot goes straight
toward sky, then bend leg from hip out to the side. Perform 20
reps each leg.
• Lying windshield wipers and leg raises – finish off the abs with
this great pair of exercises. Lie flat on back with arms out to
sides for the windshield wipers. Lift both legs toward sky and
keep straight if possible. With control take them to the left side,
lift to center, and then to right. Perform 10 and move to leg
raises. Do not let your heels touch the ground.
• Finish with another ½ to 1 mile walk or run to complete the
workout
Stretch your entire body and do some yoga while laying on
your towel for the rest of the day!

From LIONFISH on page 1
Wednesdays morning practices featured games and doughnuts.
Raft Night, held on the competition deck with music, food
and lots of swimming, was a team favorite. The scavenger
hunt for middle and high school swimmers was a fun night of
friendly competition among swimmers divided into teams. The
team also held a late night swim for middle and high school
swimmers. Each pep rally had a theme. One particular favorite
was the wedding-themed rally, to celebrate Head Coach Brooke
Hoffman’s engagement.
The Lionfish family was sad to say goodbye to both Coach
Brooke and Coach Michaela, as this was their last year coaching
the Lionfish. The pair has led the Lionfish for seven years and
will be greatly missed. Both are beginning new chapters in their
lives, and while they will not be coaching the Lionfish anymore,
they’ll surely be back to cheer the team on from the stands!
While the Lionfish Committee will be hard at work
finding a new coach for next season, they are also planning
some really fun social activities with an emphasis on new and
fun things for our high school swimmers. So, in 2016 please
check out the website at www.swimlionfish.com to see what we
are planning!
