Ben Chisolm At U. of MD.
From the Diamondback:
After Maryland men's
lacrosse midfielder Ben Chisolm donned his gear before practice on Oct. 13,
2014, he received an unexpected call concerning his father, Gwyn Chisolm.
Ben
Chisolm's older brother informed him their father was dead. While the
53-year-old had battled heart problems and been in and out of the hospital, the
news surprised Chisolm, a freshman at the time.
Chisolm threw his training equipment to the ground, descended the stairs of the Varsity Team House and cried. Then, midfielder Nick Manis, who grew up near Chisolm's hometown of Davidsonville, hugged him and told him the squad supported him.
Chisolm threw his training equipment to the ground, descended the stairs of the Varsity Team House and cried. Then, midfielder Nick Manis, who grew up near Chisolm's hometown of Davidsonville, hugged him and told him the squad supported him.
"I'll
never forget that moment," Chisolm said. "I was in one of the worst
places I've ever been, and he was there to give me support."
This
season, Chisolm continues to hold the pain of losing his father, whom he called
one of his greatest motivators. But with the support of his mother and three
siblings, as well as his teammates, he's carved a role as a second-line
midfielder after three years on the scout team. He'll look to continue
progressing when the Terps play for their second consecutive Big Ten tournament
title this weekend.
"It
hasn't happened easily for him," coach John Tillman said. "He is a
major success story. Just how hard he's worked and the sacrifices he's made to
be where he is … to me is pretty awesome."
Chisolm
shared a close relationship with his father. They built their bond during
summer family fishing trips on the Chesapeake Bay.
His
father came to almost all of his lacrosse games when he was growing up. Often,
he critiqued Chisolm's on-field performances, trying to ensure his son was
grateful for the opportunity to play.
After
his father's death, Chisolm and his relatives continued to be grateful, making
an effort to cherish each other. Chisolm's older brother, mother and sister
have tried to attend more of his games over the past three years.
"It
brought our family a lot closer together," Chisolm said. "Our family
started talking every day … just to make sure we were OK and no one was allowed
to be left behind."
While
Chisolm's heartbreak took a toll, he also struggled to obtain playing time. As
one of the smallest players on the squad when he arrived at Maryland, he
remembered getting "bullied on the field."
That
lack of physicality forced him to play on the scout team for his first three
campaigns. He made just 16 of 56 appearances
and scored three goals during that span.
But
in practice, where Chisolm helped the starters prepare for their opponents, he
improved at dodging and drawing defenders out of position.
While
he admitted facing Maryland's top defenders was a challenge, going up against
All-Americans such as defensive midfielder Isaiah Davis-Allen and defender Tim
Muller helped him grow.
"It
helps you build the confidence you need for when you do get on the field,"
Chisolm said. "If you beat one of those guys, it's nothing light. They're
some of the best [defenders] in the nation."
In
his senior season, Chisolm has ridden his improved dodging skills and stronger
physique to better results on the field. He's played in all 13 games, setting
career highs in goals (6) and assists (4).
Attackman
Matt Rambo, who lived with Chisolm when his father died and is one of Chisolm's
best friends, views the fourth-year player as an inspirational figure.
"He's
a great guy to look at if you don't play as a freshman or a sophomore,"
Rambo said. "You can always look at him as an example and say, 'Look at
Ben Chisolm. He didn't play his first few years. Now he's on the second line
[making an impact].'"
Though
Chisolm's father attended most of his lacrosse games growing up, he never
witnessed his son play at Maryland due to various sicknesses. He didn't get to
see Chisolm experience the senior season he had always dreamed about.
But
Chisolm is still playing for his dad as he's found success.
"This year and last year, I think about how
he's able to watch us," Chisolm said. "I think a lot about him
looking down on us and just being there."

Pastrana To Run In Mt. Washington Hillclimb
The Hillclimb was first held in 1904 when Harry Harkness in his Mercedes reached the top of the tallest peak in the Northeast in 24 minutes, 37.6 seconds. The race was held intermittently until 1961, then went on hiatus until 1990 and was held annually until 2001. It was revived in 2011 in honor of the Auto Road’s 150th anniversary and has returned every three years since.
David Higgins of the Isle of Man, driving a Subaru WRX STI in 2014, set the current Hill Climb record of 6 minutes, 9.09 seconds. He is returning to defend his title from a field that includes fellow Subaru Rally Team USA teammate Travis Pastrana.
Pastrana, who hails from Davidsonville, Md., is an X Games star and a four-time Rally America champion. Pastrana honed his rally skills at Team O’Neil.
“Travis is such a fun guy, whether it’s being in a race with him or just talking to him and watching how he interacts with the public. He is a true professional and a nice guy,” O’Neil said on Thursday.

Dr. Dorothy Toffolo Passes Away
Dr. Dorothy von Wald Toffolo Dorothy Virginia von Wald Toffolo, of Davidsonville passed away on Sunday, Jan. 8, 2017, at Sacred Heart Home in Hyattsville, Maryland, at the age of 98. Born in Brookings, South Dakota, on October 2, 1918, Dr. Toffolo grew up in South Dakota where her father was in the grain elevator business. Her parents were Catherine Estelle Thorn of Washington, D.C. and Walter John Anthony von Wald of Sauk City, Wisconsin.
Dorothy's family moved to Washington, D.C. in 1938, the city where her mother had grown up as part of a large family. Dr. Toffolo attended the College of St. Catherine in St. Paul, Minnesota, and graduated from George Washington University with a degree in home economics. After World War II, Dorothy married Dominic Toffolo of Detroit, Michigan, an electrical engineer and later a physicist, at St. Anthony's Church in Washington, D.C. Dot and Nick (or Dom as he was called among his family) raised four children: Christopher Dominic Toffolo, Regina Estelle Toffolo Barletta, Walter Anthony (Tony) Toffolo, and Mary Elizabeth (Betsy) Toffolo-Cresce. Dorothy was an at-home mom for about 20 years.
She was always well known for her delicious cooking and beautiful hand-made clothes. Dorothy went back to work as a home economics teacher at La Reine High School in Suitland, Maryland, and later at Walker Mill Middle School. As a teacher, Dorothy conducted fashion shows, kept sewing machines repaired, and maintained an immaculate kitchen. The aroma of the cooking wafted out of the home economics department where Dorothy's daughter, Regina, who attended La Reine, had the privilege of sampling the cooking.
The rest of the family thoroughly enjoyed the leftovers that Mom brought home. In addition, Dorothy was an excellent artist. She left many examples of her art work in the form of drawings, paintings, and hand painted china, trays, and furniture.Dorothy was also very devoted to the Church.
She attended daily Mass for much of her life. She was a member of the Catholic Daughters of America and the Sodality, and she also served many years as a Eucharistic Minister. As part of her ongoing education as a teacher, Dorothy earned a master's degree at Bowie State University in family counseling. She then decided to stop teaching to study full time in a doctoral program in human development at the University of Maryland-College Park.
She earned her Ph.D. at the age of 69. Dorothy then went on to pass the Maryland state licensing examination in clinical psychology at 70. Dr. Toffolo continued her practice in family as well as other types of therapy until she was nearly 90. Survivors include her children as well as eight grandchildren: Katie Toffolo, Dominic, David, and Patrick Barletta, and Arthur, Vincent, Nicole, and Lisa Cresce.
Friends are invited to celebrate Dorothy's life on Friday, January 20 from 2 to 4 and 6 to 8 pm at the George P. Kalas Funeral Home, 2973 Solomons Island Rd., Edgewater, MD.
