On October 24, 2021 Terry searched her house for any random bits and pieces  that could help her son, Liam, finish his Halloween costume for a party he was anxiously anticipating. At the same time, 24-year-old Urbana High School graduate and recent University of Illinois graduate, Liam Gasser, went to North Prospect to look for materials at the local craft stores.  Listen as two moms reflect on this scene, this picture, this situation which is not unlike so many moms come October. Frustrations with last minute preparations, unrealistic expectations between mother and son and ultimately apologies and pushed aside plans in order to prioritize the child's needs. When we send our kids out the door, no matter their age, we expect they will come back to us as they left us. On this October day, Terry never expected the call from the hospital chaplain. Liam had been shot. In the head. The tip of the proverbial iceberg after a childhood peppered with health issues and a more recent loss of Liam's dad, her husband, to cancer. In late spring 2022 the alleged shooter was arrested. In the months to come Liam's mom will listen, learn, heed advice, research and prepare to see justice for the life sentence her son was given that day. Smells Like HumansLike listening to funny friends discuss curious human behavior.Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifyI'd like to thank this episode's sponsor, Pixels by Emily.

With his team in the midst of a good season, first-year Urbana High School girls lacrosse coach Tom DeMaio is this week's guest on The Final Score podcast. DeMaio chats with host Greg Swatek about growing up as a huge sports fan in Boston and going to Super Bowls that his beloved Patriots played in and won.

And he talks about raising six kids, all of whom play lacrosse, including his oldest son, Anthony, who was a standout midfielder on two national championship teams at the University of DeMaio. The conversation eventually shifts to DeMaio's team at Urbana this season, its thrilling last-second win over Middletown and where it stands in the Frederick County girls lacrosse pecking order with the playoffs approaching. Prior to that, Alexander Dacy joins Greg to discuss at length his upcoming and ambitious tryout with Frederick's new Atlantic League baseball team. What is he expecting, for better or for worse?

A couple of weeks after being named the new varsity football coach at Urbana High School, Dean Swink is this week's guest on The Final Score podcast. Swink chats with host Greg Swatek about why he wanted to be a head coach again after being away from such a position for more than a decade. He previously served as the head coach at Tuscarora High from 2009-11 and Walt Whitman prior to that.

Edisode 19: Michael Tessene, Urbana High School by Elizabeth Hess

Frederick County Public Schools Teacher of the Year Tim Snyder never planned to become a teacher. Snyder studied art in college and wanted to become a graphic designer. After getting real experience with the work, he decided it wasn’t for him. He instead combined his love of education and creativity — and competitiveness — to become an art teacher and coach. An Urbana Middle School art teacher and Urbana High School cross-country and track and field head coach, Snyder said he aims to look at each student individually to provide them with the best mentorship and instruction. Drawing on his own experiences, he helps students find their motivation both in and outside the classroom. On the latest episode of Frederick Uncut, Snyder sat down with host Colin McGuire and News-Post education reporter Emma Kerr to look back on his first few months as Teacher of the Year and advise us on everything from finding our path in life to pre-race diet best practices.
