Governor is Not an Entry-Level Job
By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
Governor is not an entry level job, said Del-
egate Mark Fisher (R-27B) during his introductory
speech during a May 4 visit to Prince Frederick by
David Craig to announce his intention to run for
governor.
Craig was a middle school educator and prin-
cipal for 34 years, a state senator, a delegate and a
mayor with a record of creating balanced budgets,
Fisher said.
Craigs family came to the United States 10 gen-
erations ago as indentured servants to the governor,
Craig said.
Its time for us to take over.
The Hartford County executive said current
politicians have more in common with rock stars and
celebrities than public servants and leaders they are
too concerned with their appearance and popularity.
A government that promises too much to oth-
ers is failing you, he said, adding the current Mary-
land government works for itself and not for families
and small business owners.
They think they know more about our free-
doms than we do, he said.
Maryland is bleeding residents and businesses.
Currently, only three Fortune 500 call Maryland
home, a stark contrast to surrounding states that host
more than 20 such companies.
He said the state transportation authority has
been wasting money and the transportation trust
fund is raided unnecessarily to pad the state budget.
Instead of raising taxes and tolls the state should be
managing the money it already gets more effciently.
Currently, some services offered by the state are
duplicated. He hopes to remedy that situation and
eliminate redundant offerings.
When it comes to allocation of funds from
state to local government, Craig intends to distrib-
ute funds fairly and not only give money to counties
who vote for him, a practice he is seeing done under
the current governor.
Hartford County is one of the 10 affected by the
rain tax, and he warned the audience that Southern
Maryland counties might be up next. Soon, the state
will fnd a way to tax sunshine, he said. He hesitated
to say he supported a repeal of the latest gas tax. If
the state has already bonded the tax it cannot be re-
pealed. He does intend to fnd a way to improve the
tax and lessen the impact on state residents, as well
as fnding a way to improve toll rates.
Between taxes and business loss, current Mary-
land residents children and grandchildren will have
to leave the state to have a career and be fnancially
successful.
Craig intends to travel the state throughout the
year, hosting conversations at schools, community
centers and libraries so he can hear what the real is-
sues in Maryland are.
Maryland is worth the fght and youre worth
the fght, Craig said.

Road Work
in Leonardtown
Pushed Back
By Alex Panos
Staff Writer
Leonardtown has drafted a proposed
budget for fscal year 2014, and town of-
fcials will have to push back signifcant
work on Lawrence Avenue originally
scheduled to be included in the fscal year
2014 budget to the fscal year 2015 budget.
Mayor Dan Burris said Leonardtown
is eligible for a grant to help repair the road,
but the town must match it at $160,000,
which will require some additional time.
In the past, Leonardtown has received
up to $100,000 in funding from the state,
but will be receiving just under $54,000 in
highway user revenue this year, according
to Burris.
Some repairs will still be completed,
Burris clarifed, but the major repairs will
be pushed back.
The general fund budget is $1,376,364,
and features increases in property tax rev-
enue and income tax revenue spending
will increase by 5.4 percent from last year.
Taxes are not increasing, however, and
the additional revenue and spending is a di-
rect result of Leonardtowns growing com-
munity, according Burris.
The mayor said Leonards Grant sub-
division, located on Hollywood Road, is
leading to increases property tax revenue,
which is the largest revenue source in the
budget at 41 percent, and as the subdivi-
sion continues to develop, revenues from
property and income tax will continue to
rise.
We are growing, Burris said.
The budget also includes an increase
in the wastewater treatment plan.
After evaluating current water fows,
an expansion has been postponed, but the
facility will still be upgraded.
Final design is scheduled to be ap-
proved before the end of 2013, and con-
struction will begin in 2014, according to
Leonardtown town documents.
Health insurance pensions have in-
creased for this year, and costs are going up
by 16.5 percent.
Burris is not expecting much to
change between now and when the budget
is offcially adopted.
After the budget work session, he and
the Leonardtown Town Council seem to
be satisfed with most of the numbers this
year.
A public hearing on the budget is
scheduled to be held on Monday, June
10 at 4:15 p.m. at the town governmental
building.

Replace Your Old Boiler with a new
Quietside Dual Purpose water Heater
Reasons for Switching
1. Propane is a domestic fuel. 90% of what
is used in the United States is produced
in the United States. The remaining 10%
is imported from Canada. Over 50% of oil
consumed in the U.S. is imported, largely
from the Middle East and South American
countries.
2. Many propane appliances are rated
at over 90% effcient and produce very
low fue gases, allowing the installation of
inexpensive and easy to use PVC venting
materials. Oil has a much lower effciency
rating and produces a lot of particulate and
toxins that are corrosive and harmful to
our environment.
3. Propane appliances do not require
regular costly maintenance to keep up
effciency levels. Some systems have self
cleaning features built into an appliances
daily operation. Oil needs continuous care
and maintenance to maintain its effciency
level. This can become very costly on top
of the already high cost for the fuel.
4. Cost for a gallon of propane can be
as much as $1.25 less expensive than
oil. Even with oils slightly higher btu
rating per gallon, propane is much less
expensive to operate as well as cleaner
and more effcient.

Energy Credits. See us for details.
Our innovative Heat
Exchanger design fows
the fue gas in "S" line
confguration to improve
heat transfer &
unit effciency.
Innovative
Design
S Line Heat exchangers
The S Line heat exchangers have our innovative design. Placing the latent heat
exchanger at an angle above the sensible heat exchanger ensures complete
separation from condensate, increasing unit longevity.
Flue glass glows upward providing stable & quiet operation even with up to 45
ft equivalent fue lengths.
The design of the latent heat exchanger reduces fue gas temperature to
below 140 DegF at all times, allowing the use of Schedule 40 PVC as the vent
material.
Modulating Gas Valve
The modulating gas valve allows complete control of the gas fow
to the burner assembly. This unit has a turn
down ratio of 2:1 to provide performance
across a wide range of heat loads.
Durable Hydroblock
To increase effciency, reliability and service a modular concept
is used to mount all of the components controlling heating and
DHW fow directly to the DHW heat exchanger.

There are still about four months to go before the
Firearms Safety Act of 2013, otherwise known as the as-
sault weapon ban, becomes law in Maryland but the two
main law enforcement offcers in St. Marys County say
they arent in any rush to know who owns which guns,
much less take them from law abiding citizens.
Cameron said the law as written could only be en-
forced if someone commits a crime and police are then
tasked to seize guns as they would in any other criminal
investigation.
Anything else would be overstepping police authority.
It doesnt present us with law that we would actively
go out and enforce, Cameron said of the act that was vo-
ciferously opposed by pro-gun rights elements here and
throughout the state.
The law bans a whole host of so-called assault weap-
ons that are styled after military weapons as well as maga-
zines over 10 round in capacity.
But Cameron said if a police offcer were to notice
such high capacity magazines in possession by a citizen
there would really be no way to determine if they were
obtained before or after the ban.
Similarly, if a police offcer happened to be on a lo-
cal fring range he would have no probable cause to see if
the military style weapon in question was grandfathered in
under the ban, Cameron said.
There would be no reason to check it, Cameron
said.
Residents who own weapons on the banned list before
the law takes affect Oct. 1 may still own them but residents
who own military style weapons have called Cameron to
express their worries, he said, over how law enforcement
will enforce the new law.
Its not illegal to possess an assault weapon, Cam-
eron said. Its still legal to possess pre-Oct. 1 controlled
weapons.
He also said deputies would not actively search for
such weapons without probable cause that a crime had
been committed.
Simply owning an assault weapon that might or might
not be grandfathered was not a cause for concern, he said.
Warrantless searches for these are totally unconsti-
tutional, Cameron said. If someone says somebody else
owns an assault weapon it doesnt mean theyve commit-
ted a crime.
Persons with banned weapons that are not currently
registered must register them before the deadline or face
legal penalties.
Cameron testifed against Gov. Martin OMalleys
gun control bill during its path through the Annapolis leg-
islature; he said be believed it was unconstitutional.
I believe it encroaches on peoples constitutional
rights and liberty interests, Cameron said. This affects
law abiding citizens it does not affect criminals.
States Attorney Richard Fritz said the law had oner-
ous consequences for citizens and was one of the most
unfortunate laws Maryland has ever passed.
He called it a knee jerk reaction to tragedies like the
school massacre in Newtown, Conn. where a gunman
used a AR-15 to kill 26 people, 20 of them elementary
school children late last year.
Im not inclined to be making criminals out of law
abiding citizens, Fritz said. I have no intentions of enter-
ing peoples homes to confscate what was legally owned.
Personally I hope the law is struck down.
Sgt. Marc Black, spokesman for the Maryland State
Police, said owners of such weapons that were already reg-
istered would not have problems under the new law.
It doesnt affect anyone who [legally] owns an assault
rife, Black said. Theres no way were going to walk to
there home and see if they have any assault weapons.
A petition drive to have the gun control law put on
the ballot for popular approval has already failed but gun
control advocates anticipate the law will meet a court chal-
lenge from the National Rife Association.

Visiting the Past
By Alex Panos
Staff Writer
St. Clements Island Muse-
um is celebrating its heritage on
Saturday.
Heritage Day, which origi-
nally began as Black-Eyed Susan
Day in 2004, celebrates the his-
tory at St. Clements Island State
Park Marylands frst colonial
landing site in 1634.
According to Christina Bar-
bour, St. Clements Museum Su-
pervisor the museums mission of
the day is to highlight the islands
important historical aspects and
link it to traditions that are still
practiced today visitors can en-
joy a 13-minute flm detailing the
history of the island.
Corporations and machine
technology of today can make it
easy to lose touch with an areas
heritage, Barbour explained, but
the topics, games and music of
Heritage Day allows people to
take a step back in time.
This helps people stay
connected with the past, she
concluded.
Local musician Joe Norris
will play folk tunes from noon
to 2 p.m., using only acoustic
instruments.
Children will be able to par-
ticipate in a variety of activities,
known as heritage games, in-
cluding blowing bubbles, walking
on stilts and an old-fashioned bean
bag toss.
Barbour says the games are
different from what todays youth
is accustomed to providing a
new element for them to explore.
Frank Maio is scheduled
to provide a detailed session on
early colonial militia as part of
this years heritage presentation,
says Barbour, who added the pre-
sentations each year bring to light
different things about the islands
past.
In addition to Maios piece,
Native Americans will be brought
to the forefront of the discussion,
and actors will portray the is-
lands frst colonial owner and his
daughter.
Christine Allen will host a
wool-spinning demonstration,
which Barbour says people dont
have an opportunity to see too of-
ten because it is becoming a for-
gotten skill.
It requires a very unique tal-
ent, Barbour said, and its not a
talent thats exercised anymore.
St. Marys County Mas-
ter Gardeners will provide free
Black-eyed Susan seed packets,
and information on how to suc-
cessfully raise and maintain the
state fower.
Barbour believes Heritage
Day is a great way to take advan-
tage of some special activities on
the island.
According to a release from
the museum, Heritage Day is a
great time to bring a picnic lunch
to the island, and take advantage
of the sites walking trail.
Heritage Day begins at 10
a.m. on Saturday, June 8 and ends
at 3 p.m.
The museum will be offering
free admission from 10 a.m. to 5
p.m.
The museum is located
at 38370 Point Breeze Road in
Coltons Point. Call 301-769-2222

High Court Upholds DNA Collection
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that the states
practice of collecting DNA in the form of saliva from
suspects accused in violent crimes is legal after review-
ing a case involving a Maryland man found guilty of a
rape several years ago due to DNA evidence.
The court gave a split 5-to-4 decision, with some
saying that the ruling could allow for a national data
base of citizens DNA whether they were ever convicted
of a crime or not.
Justice Antonin Scalia dissented with three of the
courts liberal judges in saying that the measures will
help solve crimes but at the expansion of government
power.
Todays judgment will, to be sure, have the benef-
cial effect of solving more crimes; then again, so would
the taking of DNA samples from anyone who fies on an
airplane (surely the Transportation Security Adminis-
tration needs to know the identity of the fying public),
applies for a drivers license, or attends a public school,
Scalia wrote for the dissent. Perhaps the construction of
such a genetic panopticon is wise.
But I doubt that the proud men who wrote the char-
ter of our liberties would have been so eager to open
their mouths for royal inspection.
St. Marys County Sheriff Timothy K. Cameron said
Tuesday that the ruling was a boon to law enforcement.
Law offcers and states attorneys have said that
since fngerprinting and strip searches of suspects are
legal, DNA swabs were no more invasive.
It allows us to close crimes, Cameron said. It
also is a tool to prove conclusively they [suspects] were
not involved in crime.
Calvert County States Attorney Laura Martin said
she was confdent the justices would see things as she
and other law offcers did.
I expected them to rule in our favor when they
issued the stay, Martin said, explaining that the high
court had allowed Maryland to continue collecting DNA
while the case was under consideration.
I was very pleased with the decision, Marting
said, echoing her colleagues stance that the law allowed
law offcers to sort out the guilty from the innocent.
The case that led to the Maryland Court of Appeals
decision banning the practice earlier last spring, King v.
State, involved a man from Wicomico County arrested
on charges of frst-and-second-degree assault. When
DNA taken from Alonzo King on those initial charges,
without conviction, it was used to link him to a 2003
sexual assault which eventually resulted in his being
convicted of rape and sentenced to life in prison.
A majority of the state court ruled that the prac-
tice violated his Fourth Amendment rights, however,
two judges dissented when they opined that King had
a reasonable expectation of being searched before being
incarcerated which was a standard procedure though he
was not yet proven guilty.
DNA collection was also reasonable, the dissenting
judges wrote.
Attorney General Doug Gansler hailed the decision.
This is a resounding victory for both law enforce-
ment and civil libertarians, said Gansler. This decision
will help us solve cases and take criminals off the street.
We were confdent all along the Court would agree
that taking a DNA swab is no more invasive than taking
someones fngerprints - and that DNA is an important
tool in both identifying the guilty and exonerating the
wrongly accused.

St. Marys County Commissioners shot
down a request for support of a shoreline ero-
sion grant on Tuesday, citing a number of cir-
cumstances and possible developments that
they found concerning.
The grant would fund a study to develop
better guidelines for protecting against shore-
line erosion, and provide a template to help
show owners of property on the water how
to deal with their unique circumstances in a
more effcient way.
The project also shows why a living
shoreline, a program Maryland is using to
control erosion patterns, will not work in cer-
tain areas.
Bruce Young, manager of the countys
soil conservation district, said the fndings
are meant to better serve the community by
answering questions such as how quickly re-
pairs are needed, how much it will cost, what
is the best way to repair an erosion problem
and which materials should be used.
He underscored, the research is not meant
to become regulated requirements, which was
Commissioner Larry Jarboes main concern.
Jarboe fears the pictures could lead to
mandated projects if they ever become public
knowledge.
Scott Hardaway, a marine scientist su-
pervisor with Virginia Institute of Marine
Science, explained all the photos are kept on
his computer, and the public never has access
to them.
Still, Jarboe had his concerns, and said
Virginia has different governmental tenden-
cies than Maryland, and he is not certain that
a plan in Maryland will always stay a plan.
Commissioner Dan Morris, meanwhile,
has been felding complaints from concerned
citizens during the last week.
They are not happy with the idea of
someone taking pictures of their privately
owned property along the water, Morris
explained.
They defnitely do not want you riding
around in a boat [and] taking pictures of their
property, Morris said.
Young said no personal property infor-
mation would be attached, and the photos are
used to help people working on the project
identify some of the different areas.
Commissioner Cynthia Jones, who orig-
inally thought the project was a great way to
reduce time and effort, said over the last week
her concerns have begun to outweigh the
benefts.
Jones has noticed the program is much
more complex, and the process seems to have
become extremely bureaucratic for something
people are likely to do on their own protect
their property.
This whole thing really presents a lot of
challenges, Jones said.
Again Young and Hardaway had a coun-
ter argument.
Often times, people try to correct shore-
line erosion problems on their own, only to
fail because they lack science and engineering
guidelines that the study could provide.
Before the commissioners determined
not to offer their support, Hardaway said St.
Marys was primed to receive grant money
for the project, despite a highly competitive
process.
I think we have a strong case to
acquire this [grant], Hardaway told the
commissioners.
In all, the project would cost around
$200,000 and, according to Young, funding
would be provided by the soil conservation
district, Virginia Institute of Marine Science
and University of Maryland.
The soil district applied for the grant last
year, but were rejected because they failed to
show support from the county commissioners.
Young said the district will now not be
applying for the grant this year.
In other news during the meeting, the
commissioners did not accept the 2012 Mary-
land Sustainable Growth and Agricultural
growth tiers map of 2012, and approved an
application for the preservation of afford-
able workforce housing at Spring Valley
Apartments.
Commissioner Larry Jarboe, above, fears shoreline
suggestions could eventually become mandated,
while Commissioner Cynthia Jones, below, said the
study on shoreline erosion has become more trouble
than its worth.

Morgan: Gate
Change at Pax River
Imperils Businesses
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
County Commissioner Todd Morgan
says he will lobby the leadership at Patux-
ent River Naval Air Station to relent from
the planned shifting of the main gate op-
erations from Gate 2 at the end of Great
Mills Road to Gate 1 at the intersection of
Pegg Road and Route 235.
Morgan said offcials and business-
es on Great Mills Road are worried that
shifting base traffc to Route 235 will
drastically reduce the amount of traffc
fowing by businesses, thus reducing their
proft margins.
Morgan warned that in years past the
gates had been changed and businesses
on Great Mills Road suffered.
My hope is well go back to hav-
ing Gate 2 as the main gate and Gate 1 as
the auxiliary, Morgan said. We saw the
ramifcations of the decrease in sales and
traffc for retail stores.
What happened before will happen
again.
According to a statement from Capt.
Ben Shevchuk, base commanding offcer,
beginning June 19 Gate 1 will take all the
round-the-clock traffc instead of Gate 2,
which will now be closed at 6:30 p.m. and
will reopen each weekday at 5:30 a.m.
Gate 2 will be closed on weekends
and holidays.
During the morning commute, Gate
2 will have three lanes of traffc coming
into the base, Shevchuk said, and one lane
going out.
Gate 1 will now have four lanes of
incoming traffc and none leaving. Start-
ing at 8:30 a.m. Gate 1 will revert to two
incoming lanes; starting at 9 a.m. both
gates will have normal in and out traffc.
Gate 3 hours are unchanged.
Shevchuk said the changes are meant
to make the base more resistant to terror-
ist or enemy infltration and attack.
The roadway from Route 235 to
Gate 1 is four times longer than the road
entering Gate 2, he said. This distance
inhibits surveillance of our entry control
point operations since the gate is not vis-
ible from Three Notch Road.
The longer road also allows Gate 1
to absorb traffc more effciently and Gate
1 has a designated truck inspection lane.
Anti-vehicle pop up barriers also
make Gate 1 safer, he said, since that
feature does not exist at Gate 2; there are
plans to install them at the older entrance
but funding has not been aligned to that
project, Shevchuk stated.

learners. One of Dynards unique features is that several generations of family
members have attended this school. Many come back to visit former teachers.
The staff at Dynard prides themselves on their personal connections made with
their students. Knowing their students facilitates increased learning.
Dynard students demonstrate their character by practicing F.L.A.M.E.-
Focus, Leadership, Achievement, Manners & Excellence. These standards will

Spotlight On
Urgo Out as College President
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
St. Marys College of Maryland Presi-
dent Joseph Urgo will no longer head the in-
stitution as he has asked the colleges Board
of Trustees to not renew his contract for next
year.
The college made the announcement
Tuesday night, a day after the board of trust-
ees held a closed door session where it was
believed Urgos performance on the job for
the past three years was the main topic.
Just a few weeks ago, Urgo announced
publicly a severe decline in student enroll-
ment for the incoming freshmen class, which
resulted in a $3.5 million budget shortfall.
Urgos administration was subsequent-
ly criticized for its management practices,
particularly its recruitment strategies.
I leave with mixed emotions because I
have enjoyed my time so much at St. Marys
College, Urgo said in a prepared statement.
Leading St. Marys College for the past
three years has been a tremendous privilege
and a great pleasure.
The colleges legislative charge of
high academic standards and fnancial ac-
cessibility, while challenging, is an inspira-
tional mission. In parting, I wish my friends
and the good people of St. Marys the very
best.
Urgo cited personal and professional
reasons for deciding not to continue at the
public honors college.
While the college has been wrestling
with internal strife over the student and
funding shortfall, a committee of faculty
and staff has formed to identify where the
cuts should be made.
A member of the committee speaking
on condition of anonymity said they have
identifed those cuts. They have yet to an-
nounce these recommendations to the col-
leges administration.
We have identifed a pathway through
but itll hurt, the source said. People are
likely to see temporary pay cuts.
Other cuts identifed in the committee
included paying for special speakers to come
to the college and curbing travel budgets for
faculty members to attend seminars and oth-
er educational enhancement opportunities.
Faculty and staff learned of the need to
cut the $3.5 million when Urgo announced
the student shortfall just weeks ago. Many
students were also shocked to learn of the
shortfall but were most upset by the fact that
nearly everyone involved learned of the cri-
sis so late.
Lately his administration had been
criticized as being responsible for the severe
drop in student enrollment, particularly for
his administrations dismissal of two long-
term employees in the admissions offce and
bringing in an admissions director from an
outside college.
The sudden dismissal of loyal employ-
ees left hard feelings, the source said.
Its him [Urgo] or people hes brought
in, the source said. If we are a community,
a family, thats not how you treat your fam-
ily or a member of the community.
Urgo had lost much support from the
professors at the college leading up to his
decision to leave, the source said.
Another anonymous source with high-
level knowledge of the administrative situa-
tion at the college said the decision for Urgo
to leave was a mutual one between him and
the board of trustees.
There was a mutual understanding,
the source said. Some things havent gone
well in terms of admissions and theres the
budget shortfall.
When youre the leader of the college
you have to take responsibility and he said
that he has.
As the college considers its future,
many outgoing students in the Class of 2013
were concerned that the budget cuts would
force the college to turn from its liberal arts
heritage to a more traditional college struc-
ture that valued marketability of skills more
for the world of work.
While the college is often touted as
among the best of liberal colleges in the
country, it has come under fre in some cir-
cles for having weak core requirements.
In a study titled What Will They
Learn? published by the American Council
of Trustees and Alumni, a non-proft group
based in Washington D.C., the college was
given a grade of D for its perceived lack of
core requirements in general education.
According to the ranking, the college
only requires students to take core classes
in math and science but not in the areas of
composition, literature, language, govern-
ment and history or economics.

Spotlight On
Graduates
Look to the Future
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
St. Marys County Public Schools gradu-
ated more than 1,000 students last week from
the Class of 2013 with many moving on to col-
leges and universities or service in the nations
armed forces.
Students at Leonardtown High School
who earned their diplomas won a combined
$11 million in scholarships, according to the
schools Principal Maureen Montgomery.
The graduates also earned more than
$41,000 in funds they raised for charities dur-
ing their four-year high school careers she
said.
Youve achieved a milestone in your
life, she said. You are clever, creative and
smart. You are without a doubt the overachiev-
ers of Leonardtown High School.
Of their class seven graduates had a
grade point average higher than 4.0 and four
were going on to one of armed services acad-
emies, she said.
Great Mills High School Principal Jake
Heibel challenged his graduates to always
look to the future and never give up achieving.
The graduates there earned about $5
million in scholarships and some of them will
move on to continue their education in 20 dif-
ferent states.
Your challenge now is to transition
to the next chapter of your life, Heibel said.
Never accept failure as an option.
Chopticon High School Principal Garth
Bowling said the graduates from his school
had achieved many awards and commenda-
tions throughout the year but they must con-
tinue to work hard to achieve their dreams.
You successfully met the challenge of
the classroom, the class of 2013 has brought
great honor to Chopticon High School, Bowl-
ing said. But being smart and creative is not
enough.

beginning of adulthood.

St. Marys County sheriffs deputies and state
troopers searched St. Johns School in Hollywood
Tuesday afternoon when they learned that someone
from the school had made a bomb threat, police of-
fcials said.
Lt. David Yingling, a senior detective with
the Bureau of Criminal Investigations, said despite
the threat police found no explosive devices at the
school.
All the students are safe and there was no de-
vice, Yingling told The County Times.
An anonymous source with knowledge of the
investigation said police had found that the threat
was a message written on the wall of one of the bath-
rooms in the school.
A staff member at the school said the same.
Soon after the message was found, the source
said, someone pulled a fre alarm in the school.
The incident took place around 2 p.m.
Students waited in an athletic feld near the
school after the evacuation and parents who learned
of the threat came quickly to pick them up.
School buses came in close after to pick up the
remaining children.
On Wednesday school principal Susan Mc-
Donough said staff are still cooperating with police
to fnd out more about the threat.
Everythings back to normal, things are run-
ning smoothly, she said.
The students took the threat in stride.
Theyre resilient, McDonough said.
Police are still looking for suspects in the bomb
threat and are asking anyone with information to call
Crime Solvers at 301-475-3333 or Cpl. Sarah Russell
at 301-475-4200 at extension 9105.
Anyone with information on the bomb threat
that leads to an arrest and conviction could receive
a reward of $1,000.

The St. Mary's County Sheriff's Offce
would like to remind the community that
Sunday June 2, 2013, kicked of the 1st Wave
of the Smooth Operator Enforcement Cam-
paign, which will run through June 8.
Deputies from The St. Mary's County
Sheriff's Offce along with Law Enforce-
ment Offcers across the State of Maryland
issued nearly 400,000 citations and written
warnings during the four waves of the 2012
campaign. The goal of the Smooth Opera-
tor Campaign is to reduce the speed which
people are traveling with the hope it will
reduce crashes, reduce injuries from mo-
tor vehicle crashes and ultimately reduce
the number of fatal crashes occurring in the
State of Maryland.
The efforts of Offcers across Mary-
land and the Smooth Operator Enforcement
Campaigns have contributed greatly to
the downward trend in fatal motor vehicle
crashes since 2006. This downward trend
across the State works toward the overall
objective of Maryland's Strategic Highway
Safety Plan which is to reduce fatalities and
injuries and work "Toward Zero Deaths.
Smooth Operator adheres to a multi-
pronged 4 Es approach:
1. Enforcement Stepped-up patrols
and police activity.
2. Education Public education, rela-
tions and awareness campaigns.
3. Evaluation Constant research and
evaluation of campaign activities.
4. Engineering Physical transporta-
tion and roadway solutions.
Members of the St. Mary's County
Sheriff's Offce will again be stepping up
enforcement efforts during this wave of
the Smooth Operator Campaign looking
for speeders, aggressive drivers, reckless
drivers and negligent drivers. Deputies will
take strict enforcement actions.
Motor vehicle operators who drive
safely, buckle up and are responsible will
help the Sheriff's Offce make St. Mary's
County a safer place to live and drive!

Sheriffs offce investigators say speed
and alcohol were likely contributing factors in
a vehicle crash on Society Hill Road June 2 that
involved a 19-year-old driver and a 16-year-old
juvenile female.
Police say Conner Riley Nauman, of Cle-
ments was driving south on Society Hill Road
near Breton View Drive when he lost control of
the vehicle, which then swerved off the roadway.
The vehicle struck a telephone pole and
collided with a tree, police said, and split in half.
Both Nauman and the passenger were
ejected from the vehicle, a 2003 Honda Accord.
Both were fown to a regional trauma cen-
ter with incapacitating injuries, police said.

Offcials with the Maryland Home Im-
provement Commission have charged two La
Plata residents with performing construction
contractor work on a Mechanicsville home
without a license.
According to charging documents fled in
county District Court, Darrell Grandstaff and
Lisa Willoughby are charged with six counts
each of performing the work from December
of last year through May without the proper
licensing.
The charges were fled by an investiga-
tor with the commission, Thomas Marr IV,
but offcials with the states labor department
declined to allow any comment from within
the agency because it was an ongoing criminal
investigation.
Court papers state that the pair received
about $140,000 to do a myriad of work at a
home on Golden Beach Road including build-
ing a new garage, repairing a patio and even
replacing the houses roof and gutter.

Some Good News
Your Navy Alliance
In todays world of economic distress,
government dysfunction at the state and
national levels, numerous barbaric man in-
ficted atrocities, catastrophic weather events
and world-wide confict, I found it refreshing
and relaxing to read your May 30th edition.
It was nice to see that four of our elected
offcials, four out of fve County Commis-
sioners, rose to the occasion and reached a
consensus on a budget even though none of
them got everything they wanted. I was glad
to see that our dedicated schoolteachers and
other employees received a salary increase
and even though they may deserve more
than they will receive there were no dem-
onstrations or disruptions to the educational
process. Even our school superintendent
and school board, whom I am not a fan of
either and generally stay out of school busi-
ness since I am not directly affected except
for my belief in quality education for every-
one, were gracious in accepting a reduced
budget. (Naturally the Superintendent just
received a substantial salary increase and
more redeemable vacation days than I care
to think about so he would be hard pressed
to complain since hes the ninth highest paid
superintendent in the state not counting his
redeemable vacation days). Several articles,
Leahs House, Charter Boat Captain Donates
to Wounded Warriors, Historic Preservation
Awards, Summerseats Rock Festival and
AAUW Dare to Dream Awards show how
generosity and volunteerism in the County
are alive and well. It is gratifying to see that
many of our young adults are applying them-
selves in constructive ways, Four Seniors At-
tain Rank of Eagle Scout, Ryken Graduates
Class of 2013, Chopticon and Great Mills
Seniors Receive Scholarships and how Fair-
lead Academy has such a high success rate
in helping students who may have had their
future at risk. Our Highway Department
has used some common sense and opted to
let the grass grow a little higher, other than
where safety was a concern, to save a little
money and I think we can all appreciate that
type thinking. Our County Commissioners
stepped up to the plate and out of the box
by providing up-front money for the Spring
Ridge School renovation instead of using a
band-aide approach and repair only the fre
damage and then wait for the school sys-
tems scheduled renovation plan in FY 2018,
which was already a day late and a dollar
short, to complete the job.
It has been a long time since I felt better
after reading current events but I am pleased
to say that was my feeling when I fnished
reading the newspaper. I guess there is still
some hope and I would love to see the posi-
tives in our society gain momentum. In view
of all the self-imposed disasters coupled with
the natural ones it is easy to become pessi-
mistic. Thanks for all the good news and I
hope you will be able to continue to report
more positive news accounts even if it is only
at the local level.
David A. Ryan
Hollywood
Spring is here! And along with the
warmer temperatures and the fresh colors
and scents of the budding fowers and trees,
the change in season brings a sense of re-
newal and fresh perspective as well. Thats
important in times like these times when
our nation is still at war, when our economy
is still not fring on all cylinders, and when
our homeland safety and security continue
to be in question as we were so violently
reminded by the recent terrorist events sur-
rounding the Boston Marathon.
I thought Id focus this update on your
Navy Alliance and how we have adjusted
and adapted our organization to the new
and growing challenges that come with
declining federal and defense spending,
which have been and continue to be, vital
to our local economy. So maybe a couple
of questions to start the discussion who
is the Navy Alliance?
First and foremost, we are all vol-
unteers except for one part time Staff
Assistant who we dont fairly compensate
based upon the tremendous work and sup-
port she consistently provides. She contin-
ues to stay with the Alliance only out of the
goodness of her heart and because she truly
believes in our mission and wants to serve
our community and help us move forward
in a good way. Besides our Staff Assistant
though, the rest of us are volunteers and
have full time day jobs and make the
time for the Alliance for the same reasons
we believe in service and want to do
what we can to help improve our commu-
nity and quality of life for all of our neigh-
bors, family, friends and fellow Southern
Maryland citizens.
Many people have the mistaken no-
tion that we are all Defense Contractors
thats not accurate. We are Defense Con-
tractors, but we are also business owners
in other felds, developers, bankers, state
and county offcials we represent a full
spectrum of our community. We also work
closely with many other community and
professional organizations like the Cham-
ber of Commerce, the Small Business
Roundtable, The Patuxent Partnership, the
Lexington Park Redevelopment group, the
Community Development Corporation,
our local colleges and schools, the Strategic
Roundtable, and many others.
We have worked hard to foster a very
professional and productive relationship
with our Navy and Navy leaders based
upon trust, credibility, mutual and support-
ive goals and priorities. We have worked
just as hard to form the same kind of ef-
fective partnerships with our local and state
and national government and elected lead-
ers. These cooperative partnerships are
key to achieving the strategic goals that
will help keep our community strong eco-
nomically and allow us to enjoy a quality
of life commensurate with the great beauty,
bounty and renowned history of our region.
Another question what are those
strategic priorities? They may be more
easily recalled if we use the IDEA acro-
nym. We all know that when it comes to
our local economy, we are presently overly
reliant upon federal dollars and specifcally
defense and the Navy. So the idea is to
support Innovation and promote new start
up technologies and businesses that have
commercial application across industries
beyond defense, which will help us to pro-
mote Diversifcation of our economy so that
we have a more balanced regional econom-
ic base and portfolio and are less vulner-
able when a certain aspect of our nations
economy is adversely affected. To help do
this we will need to promote the presence
of Education and academic institutions like
the University System of Maryland that are
huge enterprises and engines for innova-
tion and growth. And because we value
our preeminent role in our nations securi-
ty, we continue to promote Anchors of our
strong economic base through our support
of organizations like the Naval Air Systems
Command, Naval Air Warfare Center, and
the many other key defense units at NAS
Patuxent River and Webster Field, as well
as the other important military commands
located throughout our region to include
the Naval Surface Warfare Center at Indian
Head. Ensuring we are well prepared for
the BRAC process is a critical part of pro-
tecting our Anchors. We also need to sup-
port the Calvert Cliffs nuclear plant and the
Liquid Natural Gas facility and industries
vital to our economic well-being.
These strategic priorities are evolving
into strategic initiatives through the hard
work of a number of dedicated regional
and local leaders and community organiza-
tions. One principal catalyst is the effort to
designate our region and the State of Mary-
land as an Unmanned System Test Site for
the FAA. This concerted effort led by the
University of Maryland as our lead public
entity has brought together many of the key
players in a united effort that goes way be-
yond the test site designation. Whether the
test site designation comes to fruition is not
really the key rather, the more important
question is, can we sustain and grow and
evolve this unique and critically important
cooperative effort that began with the test
site designation proposal and further le-
verage our already extensive unmanned
systems capabilities, to propel us forward
in autonomous systems technologies and
other relevant innovation felds. Southern
Maryland as the worlds leading Autono-
mous Systems Enterprise Sector has a pret-
ty nice ring to it!
Many of these parallel initiatives are
coming together in an overarching effort
called Southern Maryland 2020, which is

some of these complementary strategic pri-
orities, goals and initiatives and moving
them forward with regional support and re-
sources (public and private) to prepare for
the year 2020 and beyond.
We all recognize that these are eco-
nomically and socially challenging times

not the time to sit idly, wringing our hands
in worry and hope for the best. This is pre-
cisely the time to be frm and aggressive
to take the initiative to be leaders in em-
bracing, supporting and actively promoting
the tenets of good IDEAs like Southern
Maryland 2020. To be willing to intel-
ligently invest in our future like so many
proactive communities around the country
are already doing. Visionary, practical and
wise strong and unwavering collab-
orative and selfess regional leadership
thats what we will need to successfully
work through these challenges and ensure
that our Southern Maryland continues to be
an incredibly good and vibrant community.
There is so much more to know about
your Navy Alliance I invite you to read

Leonardtown Named Arts District
STORY
By Alex Panos
Staff Writer
Leonardtown become the only state
recognized arts and entertainment dis-
trict in Southern Maryland on Monday.
The town will now be featured on
state websites, brochures and other forms
of advertising as an ideal location to en-
joy the arts.
The districts are sponsored by the
state to help stimulate the local economy
and quality of life Maryland is among
the frst states to fund an arts and en-
tertainment district in order to maintain
a local mission, history and cultural
development.
Some districts are designated due
to their landscaping and signage, while
others are involved in the renovation of
existing buildings and attracting compli-
mentary businesses.
The increased exposure throughout
the state is expected to boost tourism,
said Leonardtown Town Administrator
Laschelle McKay.
Along with the tourism benefts, lo-
cal artists and businesses that support the
arts will receive tax credits, but McKay
believes the credits will have a minimal
impact compared to the tourism benefts
of the designation.
Leonardtown has been on the cusp
of becoming a state recognized arts and
entertainment district for a while, despite
failing to receive the designation after ap-
plying in 2001 because they did not have
the artistic structures in place to qualify.
At the time businesses were not will-
ing to renovate their operations to take
part in the tax credits.
I think everyone [in town] kind of
knew they werent ready yet, Barbara
Bershon, a Leonardtown resident who
currently serves on the Maryland State
Arts Council, recalled.
This time, however, the infrastruc-
ture was in place, and businesses are
willing to renovate for tax credits as well
as provide spaces for artists to live and
work in Leonardtown.
The arts council was impressed dur-
ing a late August visit to Leonardtown to
see the arts and entertainment infrastruc-
ture built over the last 12 years, Mayor
Dan Burris said, adding the town was
encouraged to apply for the designation.
Bershon said the council typically
looks for vibrant shops, galleries and res-
taurants in a community when identifying
areas to be recognized as an arts district.
She was confdent the town would
receive the designation when it applied
this time because it has incorporated a
number of different artistic entities over
the last ten years.
The group from the arts council vis-
ited a number of different sites in town,
including two separate art galleries,
Fuzzy Farmers and Caf de Artistes.
They felt we were in a right place,
McKay said. And they were very excited
by what they saw.
Bershon said during the state arts
councils annual meeting earlier this
week, the group discussed how Leonard-
town is one of just a few small towns left
that features a town square.
Its a prime location to have commu-
nity gatherings and musical performanc-
es, Bershon said.
Leonardtown is in a good spot,
Bershon said. As a resident of Leonard-
town, this is very signifcant to me.
Leonardtown offcials will meet with
the arts council to discuss the best ways
to move the program forward, but McKay
hopes to utilize marketing campaigns in
order to recruit more artists to the area
and promote tourism.
Receiving the designation is going to
be a key strategy in continuing the revi-
talization of the town economically, ac-
cording to Burris.
Burris believes the biggest impact
is the state-wide marketing campaign.
He expects it to boost tourism and bring
people from Washington DC, Baltimore
and other nearby metropolitan cities into
Leonardtown.
In the long run, the district could end
up making Leonardtown a desired desti-
nation for artists and musicians to reside
and work, Burris said.
Its not going to change things over-
night, but some of the places that need
revitalization could use the [tax] credits.
McKay also hopes the property tax
credits help renovate buildings and con-
tinue a revitalization process in Leon-
ardtown possibly helping bring back the
old movie theatre in town square.
It could be, McKay said about
bringing back the theatre. Thats one of
the projects that we have in mind.
Additional galleries and other enter-
tainment centers could bolster the towns
nightlife.
Its always been a struggle for us
when it comes to nighttime activities,
McKay said earlier this year. Its been
one of our goals to get a more vibrant
night time in down town.
The town also hopes to one day con-
struct a large amphitheater, possibly on
the Tudor Hall property, and create a wa-
terfront theatre.
Leonardtown continues to add to its
artistic realm every day, and a new music
store is coming soon on Fenwick Street.
[Its] a small piece to the puzzle to
try and continue to grow, McKay said of
the designation.
Its been a long time coming for
us, Joe Orlando, vice president of the
Leonardtown Business Association, said
in February about being recognized as an
arts district. Its crucial to our future as a
town. Weve been looking forward to this
for a long time.

The Hydrologic Cycle
Water is one of the most important
natural resources on earth. Seventy-
fve percent of the earths surface is
covered by water. Most of the water,
however, is seawater. Seawater
becomes usable, safe for drinking,
and free of harmful salt and minerals
through the hydrologic cycle. The
hydrologic cycle begins with the sun.
Energy from the sun converts water
from the oceans, rivers, and land
into water vapor. Air masses move
the water vapor over land, where it
condenses and becomes precipitation.
Rain, sleet, snow, and hail are all forms
of precipitation. Some precipitation
evaporates while falling toward the
earth. Some evaporates when it is
intercepted by plants, buildings, and
cars. Most of the precipitation soaks
into the soil and eventually returns to
rivers and oceans. A person can survive
on one gallon of clean water a day for
drinking and cooking. The average
American household uses 80 to 150
gallons of water per person, per day. It
is important to remember that water is
a natural resource. What contaminants
run into our water and how we use that
water each day affects the quality and
availability of water for the future.
Easy Ways
to Save Water
As the population grows in our region,
more people vie for the same sources
of water, so conserving water becomes
ever more critical. By adopting a few
simple habits, you can help extend
precious water supplies and reduce the
load you place on your septic system or
public sewer system.
Repair all leaks and drips around the
house. A single running toilet can
waste 200 gallons of water per day.
Turn off the faucet while you brush
your teeth, shave, or lather up.
Install low-fow fxtures on
showerheads, sinks, and toilets.
Run only full loads of dishes or
laundry.
Make your next washing machine a
front loading model. (They use less
water.)
Be savvy about lawn and garden
care. Add organic matter to the soil to
increase water absorption.
Mulch bare areas to conserve
moisture.
Water deeply, thoroughly, and
infrequently early morning is the
best time to water.
Install drip irrigation and/ or timers to
reduce water use.
Use nozzles on outside hoses. Wash
cars with a bucket of water and use
the hose only to rinse.

Southern Maryland
Youth Orchestra:
Building a Lifelong
Love of Music
By Kimberly Alston
Contributing Writer
The Southern Maryland Youth Orches-
tra held its inaugural concert on June 1. Di-
recting this symphony orchestra debut was
AnneMarie Karnbach, orchestra director at
Chopticon High School. As a musician her-
self, Karnbach wanted students to enjoy mu-
sic and the instruments they play.
Orchestra President Julia Nichols was
pleased with the outcome of the performance.
From its conception, the idea Nichols had for
the orchestra was to provide a group close
enough that traveling to and from practices
would not become a hassle.
Anyone in grades 6 through 12 from
St. Marys, Calvert, or even Charles County-
though they have a youth orchestra of their
own- can audition. The reasons for the grade
requirements, she said, are because the stu-
dents are performing challenging pieces of
music, at a level four. If younger musicians
are interested in auditioning they can, but pri-
vate lessons are recommended beforehand,
she added.
The concertmistress of the evening was
Samantha Naluai, who started playing the
violin at four years of age, because; as a
child she wanted to learn to play the lullaby
Twinkle on the violin. Now 13, Naluai has
played in several different bands, including
her church, as well as the Chesapeake Youth
Symphony Orchestra. She anticipates con-
tinuing playing her instrument until I cant
hold the bow in my hands anymore.
Rebecca Olson decided to join the
Southern Maryland Youth Orchestra to help
her gain experience. She had been playing
the oboe for six years. Prior to this perfor-
mance, Olson played three different instru-
ments, including the oboe. Before joining
this orchestra, she played in other bands
including the Southern Maryland Concert
Band.
The Southern Maryland Youth Orches-
tra has a seemingly bright future ahead. The
concert was enjoyable, featuring a variety
of music. The students have fun, and their
love of music showed. The orchestra may be
compared to a family, with each one mem-
ber bringing something different to the unit,
and once a musician joins the program, they
remain a member until they either graduate,
or decide to leave.
Auditions for the 2013-2014 season of
the southern Maryland youth orchestra will
be held on the evenings of June 10-14 and
August 26-30. Times will be posted online
when they are. For more information about
the program or to request an audition, visit
smyorchestra.org.

The F-35 Lightning II, also known
as the Joint Strike Fighter, wont be
ready for feet deployment for another
fve years for the U.S. Navy, and the
U.S. Marine Corp wont have squadrons
for combat use for at least another two
years, according to the latest report from
the Department of Defense.
The report on initial operational
capability (IOC) was published June 1
and stated that under current testing and
production circumstances the F-35 C
variant planned for use by the navy must
be in a squadron of at least 10 primary
aircraft before it can undertake missions
and prove that it can be successfully de-
ployed from an aircraft carrier.
The Marine Corps variant, the F-35
B, will be declared ready to deploy when
it proves its ability to provide close air
support for marines engaged in combat
as well as show it can shoot down other
aircraft in combat zones and perform
reconnaissance to support ground as-
saults, the report to the U.S. Congress
stated.
The dates in the report are project-
ed targets for completion of testing that
will lead to deployments.
The F-35 has been touted as the most
advanced combat air superiority fghter
in the world but has been plagued with
delays and cost overruns. The costs of
the project runs about $400 billion.
But a defense department report
stated that last year the aircrafts cost
had been reduced by about 1.5 percent,
other reports from the government have
suggested that management practices at
the program have also improved.
Despite the continued wait until
2019, the longest of the three services
to use the F-35, high-ranking navy com-
manders appear to be enthusiastic over
its arrival.
The F-35C represents a critical ca-
pability, really a revolutionary capabil-
ity, that
will signifcantly enhance the abil-
ity of our carrier air wings to continue
to operate in contested battlespace," said
Rear Admiral Bill Moran, Chief of Naval
Operations' Director of Air Warfare.
"We look forward to introducing and ful-
ly integrating this important capability
into our air wings."
The Department of Defense today announced awards to 140 university re-
searchers at 77 academic institutions to support the purchase of research instru-
mentation and equipment. The awards total $38.7 million and are being made
under the Defense University Research Instrumentation Program.
The Defense University Research Instrumentation Program supports the
purchase of state of the art equipment that augments current infrastructure or
develops new university capabilities to perform cutting edge defense research.
The Defense University Research Instrumentation Program is highly com-
petitive. The Army Research Offce and Offce of Naval Research solicited
proposals from university investigators conducting science and engineering re-
search of importance to DoD. This includes research that underpins advances
in surface chemistry and physics, computing and networks, electronics and elec-
tro optics, neuroscience, fuid dynamics, robotics and autonomous systems, and
ocean, environmental, biological science and engineering. In response to the
requests, the Army Research Offce and Offce of Naval Research collectively
received more than 500 proposals requesting $188 million in support for research
equipment. The most technically meritorious proposals were selected by DoD
research offces' scientifc and management staff.
The Defense University Research Instrumentation Program awards will
range from $50,000 to $1.1 million, and average approximately $277,000. All
awards are subject to the successful completion of negotiations between DoD
research offces and the academic institutions.

Of John Stewart and his fel-
low Marylanders it was said Their
scarlet and buff uniforms and well-
burnished arms contrasted strong-
ly with those of the New England
troops, and were distinguished at
this time by the most fashionable
cut coat, the most macaroni cocked
hat, and [the] hottest blood in the
Union.
On August 22, 1777 Stewart was captured by the
British but it was said he only surrendered because he
had nothing left to fght them off with. Placing a white
handkerchief on the point of his sword, he walked for-
ward to surrender, as cool as if he had been going to
shake hands with a friend. The British couldnt hold
him either and he made his escape by descending
silently to the water and swimming to the New Jersey
shore.
On July 15, 1779, Major John Stewart led an ad-
vance party following the forlorn hope in the assault
on Stony Point. He often said that he did not want to
live to be an old man, but Crazy Jack Stewart and Mad
Anthony Wayne and the Light Infantry carried the fort
and lived to hear their countrymens praise. Congress
voted Stewart a silver medal. In 1789 Thomas Jefferson
brought the medal from France--too late for Stewart to
receive it. In 1790 President Washington sent it to Ste-
phen Stewart, saying that it must afford some pleasing
consolation when refecting upon the loss of a worthy
Son.
At the taking of Stony Point Stewart commanded
one of the advance Guards; in crossing the marsh his
boot was flled with mud and water, he kicked it off
and marched on with only one on. When he got in to
the works he came to some pieces of Artillery and askd
who commanded this artillery, I do, said a British of-
fcer. No by Gd, I do, says he, and stabd him on the
spot.
Fifteen months after Stony Point, Stewart almost
got married. According to a friend, he was damnd
nigh it. How he escapd I know not...her wedding
clothes were made, but ...poor Kitty Crane, you must
hug your sheets.
Stewart went south with the Maryland troops and
was made lieutenant colonel. He was well known and
much beloved among the offcers of the southern
army, who told many extraordinary stories of his bra-
vado. Citizens who crossed him were arrested or beaten
up or horse-whipped. He commanded the First Mary-
land Regiment at the liberation of Charleston, South
Carolina in December 1782.
On March 21, 1783, a few weeks before the south-
ern army was to disband, Stewart rode down a steep hill
at a hard gallop in a stunt that looked certain to kill him
and his horse but he made it.
The next day Col. William Washington invited the
offcers to an entertainment near Sandy Hill, South Car-
olina. Stewart was riding there, on a level road, when
his horse fell and threw him headfrst into a ditch, injur-
ing his neck. He died the next morning at the age of
twenty-fve.

Alvey a Three-Timer
in Street Stocks
Budds Creek, MD- Caledonia New Yorks Vic Coffey was triumphant
in last Friday night's 40-lap Appalachian Mountain late Model Speedweek
series opener at Potomac Speedway. The win for Coffey, worth $5000, was
his frst-career Speedweek and Potomac Late Model feature win.
JT Spence and David Williams shared the front-row for the start of the
event. When the green was displayed, Spence darted into the race lead as
the mob raced into turn-one. Spence lead until a fat tire sent him pit side
on lap-6. Jamie Lathroum, who was second at the time, inherited the top-
spot as Spence was in the pits for fresh rubber. Lathroum and third-starting
Vic Coffey waged hand-to-hand combat over the next 22-laps until Lath-
roums bid for the win came up short as he slowed to a stop in turn-four
on lap-28, handing the lead to Coffey. Even though Coffey would lead the
fnal 12-circuits, a lap-38 caution gave the feld one last shot at Coffey, but
he would hold tough to score the popular win. When Jamie (Lathroum)
got the lead I was just trying to follow him. Coffey stated in Potomacs
victory lane. Jamie is pretty tough down here and I was just trying to race
where he wasnt, and when he came to a stop in four up there I was pretty
surprised. Coffey fought mechanical issues with his Rocket no.32C over
the last half of the race, but fortunately the car stayed together. Im not
sure if we dropped a valve or were running on seven cylinders. Coffey
stated. Im just glad it held together because theres no better way to start
speedweeks than with a win. Kenny Moreland came home second, elev-
enth-starting Dan Stone was third, ninth-starting Jason Covert was fourth
with Kenny Pettyjohn rounding out the top-fve. Kenny Pettyjohn set fast
time in time trials over the 23-car feld with heat race wins going to JT
Spence, Jason Covert and Coffey.
Current Street Stock point leader Darren Alvey raced to his third win
of the season in the divisions 16-lap main. Kyle Nelson lead the frst 6-laps
from the pole before mechanical issues took him from the event as the feld
was set to complete lap-7. Sixth-starting Darren Alvey was the new leader
and made the most of his good fortune as he would go on to take the win
by a straightaway over Barry Williams Sr. Dale Reamy was solid in third,
last weeks winner Scotty Nelson was fourth with Stephen Quade rounding
out the top-fve. Kyle Nelson was the heat winner.
Jamie Sutphin was victorious for the second time this season in the
nightcap 15-lap Hobby Stock feature. Sutphin lead the opening 2-laps be-
fore Jonathon Raley assumed the race lead. Raley and point-leader Matt
Tarbox would tangle on lap-6 while battling for the lead, handing the lead
back to Sutphin. The fnal 9, caution-free laps, saw Sutphin in the lead and
eventually victory lane. Jerry Deason was second, twelfth-starting Brian
Adkins took third, Kyle Nelson fourth with Ed Pope Jr. completing the top-
fve. Adkins was the heat winner.

WALDORF, Md. Pro-
ducing his third straight qual-
ity start in three games, start-
ing pitcher Michael Ballard
helped complete the Southern
Maryland Blue Crabs four-game
sweep of the Camden River-
sharks with a 4-1 win Monday
evening at Regency Furniture
Stadium. Ballard has now allowed just two runs (two earned) in his past 21 innings, while
striking out 15 for Southern Maryland. With the win, the Blue Crabs have now won nine of
their last 10 games against division opponents, reaching .500 (22-22) fr the frst time this
season.
Ballard would get into trouble early as Camdens leadoff hitter Yasser Gomez and
shortstop Wilson Valdez would both reach base with no outs in the frst, however the left-
hander would retire the next three batters he faced to get out of the inning. In the second
inning Ballard would give up his frst run since May 23, as catcher Salomon Manriquez
chipped in his second home run of the season to take an early 1-0 lead. The Blue Crabs
would respond with home runs of their own in the bottom of the inning and the following
frame though as catcher Alvin Colina began the bottom of the second with a triple. Infelder
Sean Smith then came up to bat and tallied his second home run in as many nights to take
the 2-1 lead. The Riversharks right-hander Brian Bass continued to struggle in the third,
walking infelder Jose Julio-Ruiz with two outs. Cyle Hankerd would repeat Smiths per-
formance by adding a two-run home run of his own and a 4-1 score. The home run was his
fourth of the series as hes now gone 12-for-25 with eight runs and 11 RBIs in seven games
against Camden this season.

Charles Daniel Yanchulis, 45
Charles Daniel
Yanchulis, of Saint Ini-
goes, Md., died peace-
fully at his home early
Thursday morning,
May 30. He was 45
years old.
Born in Washing-
ton, D.C., on Feb. 16,
1968, the son of Phil
and Nita (nee Rosinski) Yanchulis, the
youngest of four brothers, he loved athlet-
ics, the camaraderie of family and com-
munity, and his Catholic faith. Chuck
graduated from Bishop McNamara High
School in 1986. A perpetual seeker, Chuck
continued his quest for knowledge and
faith at the University of Scranton, where
he graduated in 1990 with a bachelors de-
gree in computer science. Chuck started
his career in Philadelphia, where he lived
for several years and became a faithful
Phillies fan. Ever ready for the next ad-
venture life would bring, he headed off
to Europe for an extended backpacking
tour. He returned to DC and success-
fully advanced his career, but his focus
remained always on the love of his family
and friends.
He cherished the good times shared,
whether it be at a family gathering, with
friends at the Outer Banks or the guys on
or off the ice, or just watching a game
any game...football (Go Redskins!), hock-
ey (Go Caps!) baseball, tennis, curling
On Jan. 29, 2005, Chuck joined his life
to Lisa Annes (nee Kenny), and they joy-
ously began their family in Holly, Mich. It
was another cross-country adventure for
Chuck and testimony to his beautiful self-
sacrifcing generosity as he uprooted his
life to enable Lisa to spend time close to
her parents and siblings and their families.
Chuck and Lisa were blessed with three
children, Elizabeth, Charlotte and Peter,
who were the absolute joy and loves of his
life. Chuck was the consummate family
man, provider and devoted husband. In
2009, he was hired in a civilian role by the
U.S. Navy and the family moved to Mary-
land, settling into beautiful Saint Inigoes
where he lived the remainder of his life.
Chucks faith never ceased to grow and
his legacy of seeking, loving and learning
was witnessed and passed on through his
commitment to seeing his children attend
Saint Michaels Catholic School, and his
recently becoming a frst degree Knight of
Columbus.
Chuck is survived by his wife, Lisa
A. (nee Kenny) Yanchulis; his children,
Elizabeth, Charlotte and Peter Yanchulis;
his mother, Juanita Nita Yanchulis of
Fredericksburg, Va.; and his brothers, Phil
(and Julie) Yanchulis of Herndon, Va.;
Mick (and Colleen ONeill) Yanchulis of
Arnold, Md.; Jon (and Mary) Yanchulis
of King George, Va.; and many extended
family members and friends. He was pre-
ceded in death by his father, Charles Phil-
lip Phil Yanchulis; his grandparents;
and several aunts and uncles.
Family received friends on Monday,
June 3 from 4 p.m. until 8 p.m. at St. Mi-
chaels Church, 16555 Three Notch Road,
Ridge, Md. 20680. Prayers were recited

tian Burial was celebrated by Rev. Ray

family may be made at www.brinsfeldfu-

His protracted illness may have
sapped the strength of his body, but was
never able to touch his spirit. Eternal rest,
grant unto him, O Lord. And let perpetual
light shine upon him! His perpetual seek-
ing will now be eternally rewarded and
satisfed! May his soul and the souls of all
the faithful departed, through the mercy
of God, rest in peace.

Community
Exemplary Service Honored At
Second Annual Heritage Awards
On May 23, Leadership Southern Maryland presented
its most prestigious award to three individuals whose ser-
vice has benefted not only their respective counties, but the
entire Southern Maryland region. The Heritage Awards are
intended to honor individuals within the community who
embody one of the organizations three tenets Leadership,
Service, and Mentoring. This years event, held at the beau-
tiful Sotterley Plantation, called attention to the importance
of meaningful and innovative service, while providing a
networking opportunity for LSM alumni.
Past president of LSMs Board of Directors and Ex-
ecutive Director of Civista Health Foundation Susan Vogel
said, We really wanted to align ourselves, in several ways,
with the heritage of Southern Maryland, showcasing our
traditions and legacies and chose a venue that really speaks
to that.
Vogel explained that Heritage Award recipients re-
ceive a signature crystal oyster which displays a polished
pearl in addition to a plaque commemorating the honor.
Its ftting, she said, adding, the symbol will be a re-
minder to our winners of the regional heritage we share and
that they indeed are a pearl among our strong and growing
LSM family.
For Calvert County, the group commended Har-
riet Yaffe, Executive Director of the ARC of Southern
Maryland.
Since 1998, Yaffe has worked to effectively create a
positive impact for children and adults in the region with
intellectual and developmental disabilities through her
work with the ARC, while growing the organization to the
success it is today. In addition to protecting these individu-
als human rights and supporting their life-long inclusion
in the community, the ARC operates with the core belief
that those receiving services should have as much control
of their own lives as possible. Yaffe has been an advocate
throughout the region, lending her leadership skills to many
boards.
Harriet has dedicated her career to helping others,
said LSM Executive Director Karen Holcomb. She is a
leader of action, an inspiration to the individuals she serves
and a cherished member of the community.
Yaffe was also a founding member of LSM and contin-
ues contributing her time to support regional collaboration
via the groups Leadership Council.
The Charles County recipient, Evelyn Evie Hun-
gerford, was recognized for her willingness to commit her
time, talent and contagious energy to many important areas
in our community. Frequently sought as a key player on a
variety of boards, Hungerford has garnered a reputation as
a roll your sleeves up person with a strong will to suc-
ceed, said Vogel, who presented the award.
Hungerford is the president and owner of Hunger-
ford Associates Consulting and is very involved with the
Charles County Chamber of Commerce.
Her passions for education and the arts, combined
with her can-do attitude, have benefted the community in a
bevy of ways. From her board work with Annmarie Garden
and the Indian Head Center for the Arts to her leadership
with the College of Southern Maryland Foundation, which
raised more than $1.5 million for scholarships, construction
and renovations, Hungerfords volunteer efforts have ben-
efted the community greatly.
St. Marys County award winner Glen Ives came to
Southern Maryland as Commanding Offcer of Naval Air
Station Patuxent River.
His high regard for the people that worked with him
and the war-fghters they support is his legacy at Pax and
carries forward to his current role as Group Vice President
of Sabre Systems, announced LSM Board of Directors
president Bert Johnston.
Embracing the community, Ives gives his time and
leadership skills to numerous boards, including the South-
ern Maryland Navy Alliance, The Patuxent Partnership,
Annmarie Gardens Anns Circle, Inc., College of South-
ern Maryland Foundation and the Board of Trustees for St.
Marys College of Maryland.
He is Honorary Chairman of the United Way, Christ-
mas in April and the Special Olympics. The retired Naval
Offcer continues to support a plethora of groups with in-
terest in maintaining a healthy and stable Patuxent River
Complex.
Glen Ives is a man who truly embodies leadership and
service through his passion for his country and the commu-
nity where he lives, Johnston said.
The three winners chatted after the award presenta-
tions, knowing each other from various boards theyve
served on together, and caught a glimpse of the crystal oys-
ter LSM bestowed on them for their outstanding service.
I feel kind of guilty getting recognized for something
that I completely enjoy doing, Ives said, adding he was
honored, nonetheless.
Ives is a graduate of the state-wide Leadership Mary-
land, while his wife, Barbara, attended the regional Leader-
ship Southern Maryland, both Class of 2009. He said he has
always admired the level of camaraderie and shared, local-
ized experience an LSM alumni enjoys and pointed out the
advantage to the program being right here at home.
Evie Hungerford commented, Its just a beautiful
thing to see the things youve poured yourself into grow.
She said shed like to see something done to encourage
younger generations to step up and get involved. Rolling
up the sleeves and spending face-to-face time is necessary
to get stuff done in the community, she said.
Yaffe agreed with both sentiments, adding she has sent
someone, often a young leader, from the ARC staff through
the LSM program for the last fve years.
Humbly, she said, I absolutely did not expect this I
was just astonished to receive this award.
Award winners and alumni enjoyed an evening of con-
versation and networking with food from Earth 2 Home
and a bar featuring selections by Rob Plant of Blue Wind
Gourmet thanks to the generosity of sponsors like SMECO,
Dominion, BG&E and Community Bank of Tri-County,
among others.
Next years award will focus on mentoring and then
the cycle will start again.
These acknowledgements often go to those who work
diligently to improve the community without much fanfare
and Leadership Southern Maryland continues to teach oth-
ers how they too can be a part of the regional collaboration
that shapes the vision of tomorrow.

Recreation and Parks
Announces Summer Camp
Registration Remains Open
The Sixth Claude D. Alexander Memorial Golf
Tournament, benefting the Injured Marine Semper Fi
Fund, was held on 10 May 2013 at the NAS Patuxent
River Cedar Point Golf course. Claude was a 1969
West Point graduate and a Vietnam War amputee,
was a peer visitor to the Iraq and Afghanistan War
wounded veterans at the Walter Reed Army Medical
Center and was instrumental in helping the vets re-
integrate back into their environment. Claude died in
a sports parachute accident in October 2007.
The tournament is organized by local volunteers
who have ties to the Marine Corps, Navy, Army and
Air Force. These volunteers, with the help of veter-
ans like Claude and other Walter Reed and Bethesda
peer visitors provide one-on-one contact with the
wounded Marines, Soldiers, Sailors, and Airmen
and their families and bring them down to southern
Maryland for long weekends to relax, fsh, eat home-
cooking, and to just get away from the hospital and
therapeutic routines.
The Claude D. Alexander Memorial Golf As-
sociation Committee, a 501(c)(3) organization, would
like to thank everyone who participated in and sup-
ported the tournament. There were 104 golfers (in-
cluding 4 wounded warriors from Salute Military
Golf Association (SMGA)) and the tournament made
over $18,500 for the Injured Marine Semper Fi Fund
(IMSFF). The proceeds from this tournament and as-
sociated activities over the last six years have allowed
us to provide a total of over $120,000 to Semper Fi
Fund.

A Growing Repertoire
Crab Fest This Weekend
By Alex Panos
Staff Writer
Locally based Sam Grow Band is releasing their
latest single, Wild Tonight, to iTunes, Napster and
all other downloadable internet sites this week.
The single is the groups frst country song, said
musician Sam Grow, and he plans on sticking with
the genre for his next album, which will be released
in August.
The song is upbeat, he said, and is about going
out and having a good time on the weekends.
When he wrote the song, he wasnt determined
to have it sound country it just kind of happened,
he said.
Yet the single will be the beginning of Grows
career as a country artist.
In the past, Grow has fled his songs under sing-
er/songwriter genre because he could not put his fn-
ger on one specifc genre.
This time, Im picking a direction, Grow said.
Grow believes he has been fortunate to have his
songs land in the top 30 online in the singer/song-
writer genre.
He now faces a new challenge as a country artist,
and says it will be a push to get in the top 100 in the
much more competitive musical category.
He performed the song Wild Tonight for the
frst time in Philadelphia two weeks ago, and played
it again at Summerseat Farm in Mechanicsville last
Saturday.
It is a fun song to play, Grow said, and local audi-
ences seem to enjoy it and appreciate some references
to Southern Maryland in the lyrics.
I think theyre relating to it pretty quick, Grow
said.
The single releases Wednesday, June 12.

The annual St. Marys County crab festival will
have some new features this year, such as the frst
ever crab picking contest.
Up to 12 people will compete over four minutes
to see who can pick the most crab meat.
Gil Moore, co-chair of the festival, said it will
bring a new element to the festival, along with staples
such as the car show, listening to music and enjoying
seafood.
We should have done it years ago, Moore said
of the contest.
Along with the new crab picking competition, an
old favorite is returning this year crab races.
Live crabs will race down eight-foot-long run-
ways and people will be able to place bets, of up to $2,
on the crab they think will win the race.
Up to six crabs at a time can race in each heat.
Moore said no one will be banging on boards or
screaming at the crabs.
We just wet the boards down and let the crab
(walk down it), he said.
Moore believes the festival is a signifcant part of
Southern Maryland culture.
He said the Maryland Blue Crab is world-re-
nowned, and the local chefs take pride in out-doing
each other.
All the vendors think they have the best [dish],
Moore said, adding many times they use the fest to
show off their products and acquire more year-round
customers.
According to Moore, people from all over the
region travel to St. Marys County for the crab fest,
which is hosted each year by the Lions Club.
Now in its 28th year, the festival has become
the main event the Lions Club uses to raise funds
for charitable community programs throughout the
year, said Moore, who is a Leonardtown Lions Club
member.
Without it, he believes the Lions Club wouldnt
be able to support its community partners.
The crab festival is vital to us, Moore said.
Moore summed up why people should come to
the festival in just a few words.
The food, the music and the crabs.
The festival begins at 11 a.m. this Saturday at
the St. Marys County Fairgrounds.
Crab picking begins at 3:45 p.m. and crab races
will be held in three separate heats at 1, 2 and 3 p.m.

All your life, youve tried to be
good.
As a child, you were taught
kindness and compassion, honesty
and trustworthiness. You learned
graciousness and generosity, and
embraced gratitude.
Youve always tried to be good
for several reasons, mostly because
its the right thing to do. Also,
theres a place for evil people and
you dont want to go there, but in
the new novel Inferno by Dan
Brown, you may have no choice.
Hell may be coming to Earth.
Nothing made sense then
again, nightmares rarely do.
But when Professor Robert
Langdon woke up in a hospital room
in Florence, Italy, the nightmares
werent the worst of his problems.
Langdon couldnt remember how or
why hed gotten to Italy in the frst
place, or how hed been grazed by
a bullet aimed at his head. Though
hed been sedated, there was little
time for recovery: moments af-
ter he regained consciousness, a
spiky-haired woman strode down
the hospitals hall and tried to kill
Langdon again. He narrowly es-
caped with the help of his doctor,
quick-thinking Sienna Brooks, who
asked Langdon about an object hed
been carrying.
Covered with text and symbols,
the object was a cylinder that, once
opened, yielded an odd device that
became a projector. Though Lang-
don was an expert on Italian art and
literature, Dante in particular, the
image from the projector mystifed
him.
It was a famous painting, an im-
pression of Dantes Inferno, but it
had been altered. Dantes Rings of
Hell were out of order, with addi-
tions to the painting in strange plac-
es. Slowly, Langdon came to under-
stand that the alterations were clues
to what the device was and where
it had come from but there was
no time to think. Someone wanted
him dead, and theyd surely kill Dr.
Brooks, too.
On a ship just off the coast of
Italy, the provost pondered his last
client. He was glad the mans con-
tract was done. The Consortium
had spent a year maintaining the
mans privacy and safety, but the
work was troublesome and the pro-
vost regretted taking the business.
He regretted it even more when
he realized what the client was
about to unleash
Okay, frst the bad news: In-
ferno is a tad too long.
Author Dan Browns two main
characters escape and are chased
over and over and over again, re-
lentlessly which is exciting at
frst, but tiring as this book pro-
gresses. Inferno also ends rather
strangely (but I wont tell you why,
because that would ruin it for you).
Now the good news: DAN
BROWN HAS A NEW BOOK
OUT.
And its a thriller with chases,
intrigue, esoteric clues that require
genius-level thinking, international
locales, secret passages, and an evil
madman. Its complex and fast-
moving. For a couple weeks worth
of entertainment, what more could
you want?
Fans of The DaVinci Code
will feel right at home with this
book in their hands, and espionage
lovers will want to dive right in. If
thats you, and you crave a good
book, Inferno is already one of
this summers hottest.

Wanderings
By Shelby Oppermann
Contributing Writer
Late spring / early summer seems like such a nice time to do
little projects that you either hadnt thought of doing or have just
put off. So, I fgured while my hands and joints have been faring
up the last few months, that I would fnd some easier things to do to
occupy my mind. Art work, and jewelry-making are just not good
options for me right now. It really doesnt take much to occupy my
mind anyway like most people, and most women, I have 10,000
things going on in my head and life at any one time. My husband
says Im really spacey lately, and not listening real well. That could
be. Im listening its just that it is all my inner dialogue that I
am hearing. Uh Ohwow those men with the white coats sure do
come fast!
At present, my mind is particularly cluttered with Surratts-
ville Senior High, Clinton Volunteer Fire Department, and Clinton,
Maryland in general. As many of you might remember I grew up
in Clinton, on the southern end of PG County. When my Mother
was ill and in various hospitals for nearly four months at the end of
1999, until her death in January 2000, I moved back to her house to
be with her in the hospital every day, and take care of all her dogs.
During the times that she was resting or when I needed a break,
I began to research some Clinton history for fun (at frst) at The
Surratt House, the library, and the High School. All of a sudden, or
so it seemed, I became the Surrattsville archivist by the time our
frst All-Class reunion came about in June of 2000. Now, I am the
keeper of over 30 feet (when displayed) of memorabilia. I love it.
I interviewed Senator Mike Miller one day to record his mem-
ories of Surrattsville and Clinton while my Mother was getting a
minor surgical procedure. What was neat, were the memories of
my parents he had. My Mother (Nikki Lee) worked for B.K Millers
store in the 1950s when Mike Miller was still a bagger and stock
boy. He said he had to do whatever he was told to do by my Mother
or whoever else was older at that time. He had memories of my Dad
(Bob Lee) through Fire House functions. I love hearing old stories
about them.
There are still many more interviews to add to the collection.
I try to get some at every all-class reunion. Many Clinton people
didnt move too far away. Quite a number of us never got further
than Charles, Calvert, and St. Marys Counties. I know of several
families here that have Clinton roots or relatives: Hills, Simmons,
Tippetts, Greens, Wolfe, Earnshaws, and Cooks. Sometimes I
think its funny that I lived right behind Joes El Rancho off of Old
Rt. 5 growing up, my college; St. Marys College of MD is on Rt.
5, our house is only 5 miles off of Rt. 5, and my shop is in Leonar-
dtown off of Rt. 5. I never have gotten off of or far away from this
road my whole life.
Now, my project is to upload all of this memorabilia from 1895
to the present onto our Surrattsville Alumni, Clinton VFD, South-
ern Maryland Families, and various Clinton facebook pages, and
then onto the Surrattsville website. Take a look at it all if you are on
your computer. This might take me the next few years, and yes, I
will get spaciersorry honey.
To each new days adventure,

Filling Up the Spaces
By Debra Meszaros CSN

Ever wonder why after all the prog-
ress science has made in understanding
the human body, disease and dysfunc-
tion are still on the rise?
Whether you are an athlete, lead an
active lifestyle, are a health conscious in-
dividual, or a normally aging adult, there
may be a simple solution to your health
and well being.
There is a group of magical micro-
scopic molecules which are responsible
for almost every chemical reaction within the human body.
Interestingly, these molecules are also present in food, pres-
ent in all of which are living; and non-existent in anything
which is not. These molecules are so vital to your body that
without them you would die.
Where do we fnd these magical molecules?
Enzymes are these magical molecules, and they are
found in various foods. Some enzymes help to digest food;
others perform hundreds of bodily functions related to the
health of your joints, lungs and respiratory system, car-
diovascular system, cognitive function, immune system,
blood glucose levels, and maintenance of proper infam-
matory responses. Any additional mental, emotional, or
physical stress placed on the body will increase the need
for enzymes beyond normal levels. Besides supplementa-
tion, there is a way to get daily doses of enzymeseat
living foods.
Stock up on Fast food
Fast food is one of the best foods to consume, but
I am not talking about foods off the dollar menu. There is
nothing faster than fresh fruits and vegetables. Try incor-
porating fresh fruits, fresh uncooked vegetables, sprouted
nuts and seeds, virgin coconut oil, and naturally fermented
foods into your diet in the highest dietary percentage pos-
sible. Pasteurization, heat, and your microwave kill the en-
zymes in live food. When you consume dead (cooked)
food the body steals its metabolic enzymes to help digest
the food, possibly leaving you defcient in those enzymes.
Age also plays a role in enzyme levels in the body, as after
the age of twenty will gradually produce less each year.
The amount of sugar and grains one consumes also con-
tributes to the reduction of metabolic enzymes. Keeping a
dietary balance of which fast foods are the majority, will
do miracles for maintaining health and wellness.
What can dietary perfection do for you?
Breaking the old dietary habits and bringing your
diet as close to nature as possible has enormous advan-
tages. The enzymes found in Fast foods can perform
the following functions: help the body digest waste that
accumulates in your bloodstream like undigested food
particles, decayed and oxidized cells, fbrin, and fatty pro-
teins. Waste in your bloodstream can interfere with normal
immune and joint function, can increase fatigue, soreness,
and aches and pains.
The more active your lifestyle is the more important
enzymes are. The body of an athlete has very high de-
mands for enzymes and exploring supplemental enzymes
in addition to a normal dietary supply could have many ad-
vantages, especially in times of injury, since they help the
immune system, infammation, and aid in the cleanup and
repair that occurs after injury.
Developing your miracle
The secret to developing dietary perfection is to adjust
your diet slowly replacing certain less effective foods with
new Fast foods at a pace you are comfortable with. Make
better choices when you shop. Instead of those canned dead
vegetables choose some fresh ones. Replace that canned
dead fruit cocktail with an assortment of fresh chopped
fruits. Switch the whole wheat bread for a sprouted grain
bread of your choice. Buy raw honey, raw nut butters, raw
cheeses, and other raw treats. Now youre on your way to
perfection!
