At more than 439,000 square feet, Seneca Valley High School is the largest MCPS project to have achieved certification under the U.S. Green Building Councilâs LEED rating system, the most widely used green building rating system in the world. LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. Points are assessed during project design and after construction to achieve a final rating of Certified, Silver or Gold. With Seneca Valleyâs Silver certification, the total number of MCPS schools with LEED certification is 37.

She was the only Marylander to claim a third-tier prize in the drawing and was one of 10 such players nationwide. The avid player retired in December after 39 years as an inspector for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. When asked of her plans for her winnings, the loyal player said the windfall will go into her savings account.
No one has hit the jackpot, which rolled to $229 million for the Saturday, June 11 drawing. The estimated cash value is $132.3 million.
The restaurant that will be opening in the space that was formerly home to Greene Turtle at 19961 Century Blvd in Germantown will be called Four Seas Restaurant.
We received confirmation of the permanent closure of Greene turtle in Germantown back in the summer of 2020. Since then, the building was available for sale and ended up settling back on December 17th, 2021 for $3 million. Jim McGinnis, of Restaurant Brokers & Developers, represented the sale of the building (19961 Century Blvd in Germantown), the former home of the Greene Turtle.
The initial investigation has revealed that the driver of a silver 2007 Infinity M35 was traveling southbound on Frederick Rd., approaching Wheatfield Dr., when the driver and lone occupant lost control of the vehicle while attempting to negotiate the curve. The vehicle crossed into the median and struck a tree prior to coming to a rest in the northbound lanes of Frederick Rd. The driver was ejected from the vehicle.
The driver was transported to an area hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Â The name of the deceased will be released following proper notification of family. Â This is an active and ongoing investigation.

The peace of the little village of Germantown was broken by the sound of gunshots on January 20, 1932. Robbers had entered Horace Waters’ store at around 7 p.m. They shot and killed Mr. Waters, a prominent citizen of Montgomery County, and wounded his clerk
Horace Waters was known to carry a large amount of cash, and often loaned money to local people in need, both white and black. He operated a general store in Germantown at the corner of Germantown Road and Clopper Road for more than 50 years. A grandson of one of the first settlers of the area, William Waters, Horace was a director of the Farmer’s Banking and Trust Company of Rockville and well respected in the community.
