Chow’s Donuts is Bernard Simieng’s life. The 58-year-old arrives at his Oceanside Boulevard shop at 1 a.m. each day to make fresh sweets, then serves them to hungry customers well into the afternoon.
He’s operated the little store a few blocks east of Interstate 5 for 25 years, since escaping Cambodia’s Khmer Rouge. In fact, his first day in business was the day after he got married. “My wife is still mad at me” for skipping a honeymoon, he said.
That kind of devotion has earned the soft-spoken Simieng a loyal following, but might not protect him from being forced out of his store later this year.
The Fishing boat Kotuku is brought to the surface at Port William, Stewart Island in 2006.
Fifteen years after fishing trawler Kotuku capsized in Foveaux Strait, widow Judy Hayward will visit the cemetery and gather together with some of those involved in the tragedy, just as she does most years. Hayward’s husband Ian (known as Shorty) was one of nine people aboard the fishing boat when it was hit by a rogue wave on the afternoon of May 13, 2006. Three people survived and swam to nearby Women’s Island but Leslie Christian Topi, known as Peter, his daughter Tania Marie Topi, his two 9-year-old grandsons Shain Jack Topi-Tairi and Sailor Roy Trow-Topi, Ian “Shorty” Hayward and Clinton Allan Woods died.
‘Play Ball’: Bethesda Big Train Will be Back in Action in June
After a 14-month derailment due to the pandemic, Bethesda Big Train baseball is back. Games will be played at the Shirley Povich Field in Rockville during June and July in front of a maximum of 250 socially distanced fans.
Montgomery County approved Big Train’s 27-page 2021 Return to Play Plan Wednesday at noon, so now it is time to play ball, said Big Train Founder Bruce Adams. “After all the sacrifices our residents have made these last fourteen months, we all deserve the enjoyment of a summer’s night at [a] ballgame,” he said.
