Historic Commission Concerned Over New Grave Finds

By Guy Leonard Staff Writer For six years now the countys Historic Preservation Commission has worked to catalogue all the public and private gravesites in St. Marys for posterity but their work has uncovered many more sites than they had originally believed existed. So many they are that one member who recently left the group said development could endanger the burial plots without their builders even knowing it. Robert Gibbs said the work of the St. Marys County Cemetery Project had found 86 sites back in 2007 but now that number stands at 198 sites that are either public or private or catalogued but without knowledge of exactly where they are. And weve got some really strange private ones like Photo By Guy Leonard St. Marys Slavic that sits next to a maintenance building Gravesites like this one at the San Souci Shopping Center are the kind the countys historic preservationists want information on for on the campus of St. Marys College of Maryland, he said. The projects current database resides throughout the cataloguing. The dates for the cemeteries found by the project date countys public libraries, Gibbs said, and the commission is asking residents who may have old journal entries, articles or from the 1650s with a majority of them started in the 19th family bibles with information about gravesites not included century with the last permit for a cemetery was issued in 1989 to a local family. in the database to come forward with the information. Finding the cemeteries has presented some difficulDevelopment does threaten the historic character of ties since some non-Catholic cemeteries have smaller plots, this county, Gibbs said. The possibility that more than 198 gravesites exists shorter histories and many have disappeared from public locally is strong given that the countys history goes back notice, according to preservation commission documents. almost 400 years and the archaeological records show that guyleonard@countytimes.net inhabitants were here over a 10,000 year period.
Inmate Attempts Suicide

By Guy Leonard Staff Writer Sheriffs officials say that an inmate at the adult detention center tried to commit suicide Sunday by hanging himself. Corrections officers found the 19-year-old inmate hanging inside his cell at about 1:30 a.m. during a routine inmate check, according to the Bureau of Criminal Investigations (BCI). Lt. David Yingling, vice commander of BCI, said the inmate was in serious condition. Hes not in good condition, Yingling said. His prognosis at this time is not known. Law officers are not releasing the inmates name, as he is an attempted suicide victim. The inmate had less then one-half hour to make his suicide attempt as correctional officers make their rounds to check on inmates at least twice each hour, Yingling said. When officers found the inmate he was unresponsive and they tried to resuscitate him immediately. The inmate was transported to a hospital where he continues to be treated, police said. guyleonard@countytimes.net

Square to Host Clazzical Music

By Alex Panos Staff Writer Clazzical Jam group, described by Leonardtown Events Coordinator Maria Fleming as a unique combination of classical music but with jazz arrangements, are performing on Leonardtowns town square Saturday. The sound is a unique blend of timeless music fit to a modern ear with syncopated rhythms, danceable beats and improved riffs, Fleming explained. Enticing people who might normally write off classical music as stodgy or boring to really listen to the classics in a new, often toe-tapping, way. Band member Don Stapleson is the director of the St. Marys College Jazz Band, and has performed with famous musicians Ray Charles, Dexter Gordon, Nancy Wilson, Wayne Newton and Martha Reeves. According to Fleming, he is a gifted flutist, accomplished saxophonist and is well known locally and throughout the Washington metropolitan area. Fleming said Stapelson was recommended by Jeffery Silberschlag and Barbara Bershon of the Chesapeake Orchesatra, and Clazzical Jam will feature something a little different than the originally scheduled five-piece brass ensemble. The town strives to provide opportunities for many styles of music to play on the town square, Fleming continued, and try to showcase professional musicians when possible. Clazzical Jam fits the series perfectly on all levels and should appeal to a variety of musical tastes, Fleming said. Stapleson will be joined by Peter Fields and Fred Lieder. Fields repertoire includes classical guitar, jazz and Latin compositions, B classics and interpretations of extraordinary arrangements from various parts of the world, says Fleming. He has played for independent labels and television programs including Fox, Na-
Clazzical Jam
tional Geographic and Discovery Channel. In 2003, he released an evocative collection of compositions for classical guitar, titled Stillness of the Heart, which has received rave reviews and airplay in the country. Peter Fields has captivated audiences in the U.S. and Europe with his mastery of diverse musical styles, and unique approach to his guitar techniques, Fleming said. Lieder has been on the Washington area music scene for 25 years, and plays classical, jazz, blues, rock and even Celtic on his cello. He has arranged rock tunes for solo cello including works by The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix and Carlos Santana and also recently released a book that explains how to play the blues on cello. Fleming is eager to see how the classical tunes she is familiar with fit together with the jazz vibe, and added the concert is a great follow-up to the Blues Jam which will be held on First Friday this month. As the newly designated Arts and Entertainment District, Leonardtown is happy to provide a home for as many local musicians and musical genres as we can, Fleming said. And the holiday weekend is a perfect time to do that. The concert will be held on Saturday, July 6, and is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. in town square, and should come to a conclusion around 8:30 p.m. alexpanos@countytimes.net

State Finds More Ordnance at Newtowne Neck
By Guy Leonard Staff Writer After more than a year of being closed down the state park at Newtowne Neck may be one step closer to reopening after the fire marshals underwater bomb disposal teams swept the area last week and found 24 World War II era projectiles and disarmed them. Discussions continue regarding additional periodic sweeps operations, particularly after future storm events which may unearth additional projectiles, a fire marshals press release stated. The park will remain closed, fire marshals stated, until the state can analyze in greater detail the findings of a U.S. Army Corp of Engineers report about the area and the ordnance haul of this latest sweep. Public safety will be paramount in any decision to reopen Newtowne Neck State Park to the public, said Nita Settina, Maryland Park Service superintendent. We will continue to work with the corps and the state fire marshals bomb squad to develop educational materials and response protocols to address the very real possibility that these materials will continue to be discovered at Newtown Neck. The County Times reported last month that the sweep would take place after the corps found that the site was used to test electrical components for anti-aircraft proximity fuses used against Axis planes in World War II. But since the site was not used for actual explosives testing, corps officials stated, the site was not eligible for federal funding as a former munitions storage site. guyleonard@countytimes.net
New Area Extension Director Hired

By Alex Panos Staff Writer The University of Maryland Extension has announced Chris Seubert as the new Area Extension Director of Southern Maryland, replacing Ben Beale as St. Marys Countys extension director. A resident of Maryland the last 25 years, Seubert grew up on a rural farm in Ohio and possesses a Doctorate in Agronomy from Purdue University. Seubert worked in international agriculture and natural resource management, and worked in more than twenty countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America focusing on food security and increasing agricultural production. He served as Director of Community Building for the United Way of Central Maryland for seven years, and spent many years in non-profit employment, focusing on human services areas such as homelessness, food security, youth development, health and nutrition. I really like that kind of public service work, Seubert said, adding he has a number of diverse experiences that will help him in his new role. Seubert was in St. Marys County offices for the first time on Tuesday, though he has visited the county a number of times, getting acquainted with local officials. The next step, he says, is to introduce himself to the public hes excited the most about serving as many people as possible in the tricounty area. He expects much onthe-job training in the coming days. [Seubert] will be working to bring additional resources and programming to the tri-county area, while collaborating with other agencies to insure best

use of available resources, Dan Kugler, University of Maryland Associate Dean, stated in a letter to the St. Marys County commissioners. Beale will now dedicate his time to University of Maryland Extension agriculture and natural resources programming. According to Kugler, the move to replace each countys extension director with one Area Extension Director was made to make better use of financial resources. alexpanos@countytimes.net

By Guy Leonard Staff Writer BTB Coffee Bar in Leonardtown seems to have a dual identity by day its a homey coffee shop that serves bagels, fruit and even breakfast casserole among other things but by night things change. A secret door at the back wall of the small coffee shop its been styled to look like a bookcase opens up to reveal a replica speakeasy reminiscent of Prohibition Era days when liquor, restricted by the Volstead Act, was consumed in dark rooms and clandestine hideaways. The small speakeasy even has a wall portrait of old Chicago mob boss Al Capone behind the bar and sports gangster themed tavern food like Machine Gun Kellys Steak and Shroom Sliders and Bugs Morans crab dip. Brad Brown, the owner of the new caf, said he got his inspiration from visiting New York City. I visited a lot of cool speakeasies in New York City and I thought Leonardtown would be a great fit, Brown said. It defi-
nitely needs it. The new cafe and bar is one of the only shops in Leonardtown that stays open until 10 p.m. Brown said but its small size and yesteryear atmosphere means its not designed for socialization in the modern sense. He advises customers to take their cell phones and other electronic gear, turn them off and let the cozy atmosphere of the speakeasy help them relax. There wont be any rock and roll here, he said, rather it will be classic tunes like those of Frank Sinatra and music from the 1920s. Its an atmosphere for absolute relaxation, he said. Reservations are encouraged but not necessary as the speakeasy only accommodates 25 people at a time with five tables. The new shop has only been open about a week, Brown said, but he is pleased with the way Leonardtown has come out to support it. Its been very responsive, Brown said. guyleonard@countytimes.net

Roache, who also heads the St. Marys Ambulance and Rescue Asso- Dr. John Roache ciation, has also had a long track record of community volunteerism in fire and rescue companies. He also has served for 40 years at the St. Marys Hospital, now MedStar, and has served as chief of staff and chief of surgery as well as in numerous other departments. I feel very strongly about the College of Southern Maryland, Roache said Monday. I think its a strong asset to our community. He called it a stepping stone to greater education and career attainment and a place where students can get an education at a reasonable price. Roache said his appointment started July 1. Roache is a Mechanicsville native with a M.D. from Georgetown University. He is also a U.S. Navy veteran who served in the reserve medical corp. He also currently serves as the president of the St. Marys County Historical Society. Roaches term will be up July 1, 2018. guyleonard@countytimes.net
Parents, School System Struggle Over Autistic Childs Future

By Guy Leonard Staff Writer A Dameron couple are facing possible fines and jail time for the failure of their son to attend school regularly this year but they say their son, who is autistic, is afraid to go to school because he is afraid of his teachers and what may happen to him in the learning environment. Rita and Gregory Weaver face a hearing Oct. 7 before the Interagency Committee on School Attendance (ICSA) to determine what penalties, if any, they face according to a June 25 letter sent to them by Charles Ridgell, III, director of the county public schools Department of Student Services. Their son has only been to school 29 days this year, Rita said. Both of the Weavers attended a June 24 ICSA meeting in which they laid out the case for why their son is fearful of going to school. Rita told The County Times that her sons time in school has been difficult from the start of his student career in Piney Point and Banneker elementary schools all the way up to his time in middle school now. The school system has offered to send their son to The Harbour School in Annapolis but the Weavers have rejected that as being too far out of the way for their son to go. They have also rejected the home hospital teacher the school system wanted to send to their home. He has nowhere to go, Rita said. The mission of the school system is to make kids ready to access either college or a career. Hes not going to be ready for anything other than a disability check. Rita pointed to several incidents in her sons elementary school time where he began to act out in class but, she claimed, was restrained improperly. These types of incidents instilled a fear of school in her son she said. A copy of a physical restraint report for her son back in 2008 when he was in second grade showed he started to beat on a door and then on teachers when they tried to intervene. Three teachers restrained him, the report stated, but Rita had doubts that they followed the proper procedures. State regulations require that administrators document how long the restraining process lasted; the report reads it lasted until was calm and needed to rest. State regulations allow only 30 minutes of restraint at a time, Weaver claimed. Another incident that happened just days later five years ago had teachers restrain Ritas son for about an hour, the school system report showed, before Ritas son stopped resisting. Her sons individualized education plans (IEPs) note that throughout his student career he complained of being overwhelmed by changes in either classroom structure even who was driving his school bus. Rita said her son has been diagnosed with chronic anxiety along with autism, which makes him so fearful he refuses to go to school. The Weavers said they would not force their son to go to school because they feared it would make his behavioral condition worse. He needs more time [to complete tasks] he cant handle a load of change, Rita said. But records from the school system show that her son can perform well. The Weavers say their son is a good student when in the proper environment. A June 24 report from the Department of Student Services shows he scored proficient or advanced in all areas of the MSA test when taken from the third grade through the sixth grade. His teacher at Green Holly Elementary School wrote a letter supporting the Weavers son as a diligent student when he attended a special course of instruction there. [The student] was a very intelligent, creative athletic and talented student who seemed to enjoy school, Luanne Cochran wrote in a June 18 missive. As a matter of fact, he became upset when he had to miss school due to doctors appointments or counseling sessions. Academically, [he] did very well and was a very inquisitive student. The Weavers say the school system has not always adhered to their sons education plans now that he is in middle school, compounding his learning problems. A letter from Melissa Charbonnet, executive director of the Department of Special Education and Student Services, dated June 4, puts much of the responsibility for the Weavers sons situation on his parents choices. Charbonnet stated the school system agreed to home/hospital teaching for their son despite their belief classroom learning would be better; all parties agreed that a placement at The Harbour School would also be appropriate, according to the letter. Charbonnet said the Weavers refused to let their son take a bus trip to Annapolis with a pupil personnel worker (PPW) to visit The Harbour School as required. When the home teacher for their son said they would no longer be available, the school system provided another which the Weavers rejected based solely on the fact he was affiliated with a religious organization as a reverend. Your failure to discuss scheduling for HHT [home hospital teaching] services, your failure to allow HHT, and your failure to make [your son] available for placement interviews at The Harbour School has resulted in [him] being truant, Charbonnet wrote. Truancy is a violation of Marylands compulsory school attendance laws. The school system declined to comment due to student confidentiality concerns. guyleonard@countytimes.net

Many students are also accepted into the Dr. James A. Forrest Career and Technology Center. Fairlead Academy opened as a program in St. Marys County Public Schools in the 2008-2009 school year with sixty students. The program began with only ninth grade students and has expanded every year since. In the 2011-2012 school year, Fairlead Academy II opened in Leonardtown to include junior and senior students. The Fairlead Academy program now consists of a Fairlead I, located on Great Mills Road and a Fairlead II, located on the Leonardtown campus. Current enrollment of Fairlead Academy is 230 students. Every June, ninth grade students have the opportunity to spend the night and learn about college at St. Marys College of Maryland. Students spend two days at the college where they tour the campus, meet with the Admissions Officer, and have the opportunity to talk with current college students, take their classes in the college lecture halls and laboratories as well as spend the night in the dorms.

on campus. The goal of this activity is to immerse students in a college campus and to discuss what is required in order for students to attend college; it is also designed to demonstrate that all students can and should attend some type of higher education center. They should not let finances or home-life stand in the way of their future. Fairlead students graduate with their senior class from each home high school. Fairlead Academy II hosts a culminating ceremony each year to celebrate each students accomplishments and their graduation. Many Fairlead students began high school with few goals or the desire to graduate. After graduation, some students pursue a four-year degree, some students join the military, many attend The College of Southern Maryland, and many others attend trade schools or start apprenticeships to refine their craft that they studied at the Dr. James A. Forrest Career and Technology Center. A few of success stories include the first student to graduate early in a three year time frame. He requested the early graduation and received permission in order to pursue his goal of joining the military. One graduate is now employed by Calvert Cliffs nuclear power plant. One graduate will be attending Catholic University on a scholarship. One senior received the BECA scholarship and another received a scholarship at the BECA awards ceremony to pursue her college education. One other student is working full-time while attending the College of Southern Maryland and will be leaving for boot camp in a month where he will pursue a career in the military. Fairlead Academy is extremely proud of the students for their hard work and dedication to overcoming hardships in order to achieve their goals.

From my Backyard to our Bay

A St. Marys County Residents Guide to Improving Our Environment and Drinking Water
From My Backyard to Our Bay was first developed by the Baltimore County Soil Conservation District. From there, the booklet was given to each of the Soil Conservation Districts in the Chesapeake Bay watershed area for customization. If the 77 million residents who live in the watershed area of the Chesapeake Bay read this booklet, and took to heart its suggestions and best practices, the Chesapeake Bay would see a dramatic increase in health. Obtain a FREE copy of the booklet by going to the St. Marys River Watershed Association, smrwa.org and downloading it. The booklet is available at Wentworth Nursery in Charlotte Hall; Chicken Scratch in Park Hall; The Greenery in Hollywood; Good Earth Natural Food; and the St. Marys Soil Conservation District in Leonardtown.

Environmental Issues in Your Backyard

Water Runoff Can Pollute
When we say From My Backyard to Our Bay, there are two issues we need to consider. We must first examine the amount and speed of the water that moves across the ground your backyard. We must also consider the contaminants the water picks up as it crosses your yard on its way to the Bay or its tributaries. In a rainstorm, some rainfall infiltrates, or soaks into the ground, and some runs off. Infiltrated water percolates through the soil and replenishes the groundwater that eventually supplies water to wells. Runoff can cause serious pollution problems. For every house built, a considerable expanse of impervious surface is added area that cant absorb water. A vacant lot can absorb rainfall over its entire surface, but when roofs, sidewalks, driveways, streets, and parking lots are installed, all of the rainfall striking these surfaces runs off with very little infiltration. Runoff from residential areas can quickly pick up pollutants on its path to the nearest storm drain or stream.
problems at the source. Once polluted runoff leaves your property, it becomes a public problem and a much more expensive one.
are you Bay-Wise?

Bay-Wise landscapes minimize negative impacts on our waterways by using smarter lawn management techniques and gardening practices. The University of Maryland Extension Master Gardener Bay-Wise program in St. Marys County offers hands-on help with managing your landscape by providing information, a site visit, and landscape certifications. Our yardstick checklist is easy to understand and follow, and our team of trained Master Gardeners can help guide you through it while offering suggestions to improve both the appearance and sustainability of your landscape.
What Can I Do to Control Runoff?

The first and simplest rule of conservation is to maximize infiltration of rainfall and minimize runoff. Protecting soil with grasses, shrubs, trees, or mulch will make the soil more resistant to erosion and more likely to absorb the maximum amount of rainfall before runoff begins to occur. Where to get help with RUNOFF, EROSION, & SOIL QUESTIONS St. Marys Soil Conservation District, 301-475-8402 ext. 3 St. Marys County Dept. of Land Use and Growth Management, Inspections, 301-475-4200 ext. 1580 Chesapeake Bay Foundation, A Citizens Guide to Erosion and Sediment Control in Maryland, cbf.org/Document.Doc?id=160 St. Marys County Dept. of Public Works, 301-863-8400 ext. 3550
From: www.ars.usda.gov/News/docs htm?docid=21137
The most common pollutant is sediment. Soil particles carried by the runoff make muddy streams. When runoff slows down enough, the sediment settles out of the water and is deposited. Pollutants such as fertilizers or pesticides can be dissolved in runoff or attached to sediment particles. Other water-borne pollutants include pathogens, fecal coliform (which could come from wild animal or pet waste), gas, oil, grease, and exhaust particulates that wash off streets and parking lots. In suburban areas, runoff eventually flows into the storm drain system, headed for drinking water reservoirs and the Bay. It is far easier and more cost effective to solve pollution

Crime&
Punishment
By Guy Leonard Staff Writer County prosecutors have indicted a Lexington Park man on charges of first-degree burglary and first-andsecond-degree assault charges after he allegedly pointed a gun at his girlfriends family back in February. According to charging documents filed against James Brian Sheehan, 26, he came to the home of his girlfriend and told her mother, Michelle Otelia Savoy that he was angry her daughter was not spending Valentines Day with him. He demanded the daughter, Shanita Vinetta Marshall, come speak with him, charging documents stated. Marshall refused and asked her mother to tell Sheehan to leave; he complied but returned shortly thereafter

and began violently banging on the door. When Savoy opened the door to tell Sheehan to leave he forced his way in, court papers alleged, pushing Savoy aside. Sheehan then ran at Marshall and started pushing her, demanding she come back to Sheehans residence with him, court papers stated. Sheehan continued his alleged assault, police stated, by pushing Marshall to the floor and getting on top of her and began choking her. Savoy then grabbed a large ceramic vase and smashed it over Sheehans head. Sheehan then staggered to his feet and pulled a large handgun from his waistband, charging documents alleged, then spun around the room pointing it at nine others in the room. Sheehan then ran out of the house but before he left the scene he is alleged to have fired a single shot into the air. Sheehan also faces charges for being a convicted felon in possession of a handgun; previously he had pleaded guilty to being an accessory after the fact in the 2011 Antonio Nathanial Pollard murder case. In that case Andrew Carter was convicted and sentenced to 30 years in prison for Pollards shooting murder; Sheehan pleaded guilty to disposing of the gun for Pollard. guyleonard@countytimes.net
Suitland Man Indicted in Carjacking Case

By Guy Leonard Staff Writer Prosecutors here have charged a man in county Circuit Court with robbing his own mother of her car back in April. Kevin Terrell Gray, 31, of Suitland, now faces a single count of robbery in the latest indictment but was originally charged with second-degree assault, robbery, unlawful taking of a vehicle and carjacking. Court papers show that on April 23 Gray was with his mother Janet Briscoe at an Orchid Lane residence in Lexington Park; Gray wanted to leave but his mother was not ready and he allegedly grabbed the keys from his mother and took the vehicle without her permission. Gray, having no drivers license left in the vehicle abandoning Briscoe, sheriffs Cpl. Deborah Milam wrote in charging documents. Briscoe then got a ride to a convenience store in Charlotte Hall and told Milam there about the alleged incident. The actual owner of the vehicle, Donald Melvin Davis, Jr, Briscoes boyfriend, told police he had never given permission to Gray to take his vehicle, Milam wrote in court papers. The vehicle Gray was alleged to have taken was a Corvette valued at $30,000. Gray later arrived at a family home in Charles County where family members approached him but witnesses say he picked up a bat and held it in a threatening manner, telling them to let him go, court papers stated. A lookout for the vehicle resulted in Prince Georges County police finding the Corvette abandoned several blocks away from the defendants home in Suitland on Frank Street, police said. A Town of Morningside police officer found Gray walking along the roadside in Suitland and drove Gray to the county line. Milam wrote she recovered the keys to the stolen Corvette in Grays left front jacket pocket; Gray denied taking or driving the vehicle. guyleonard@countytimes.net

Defendant Facing Drug Trial This Month

By Guy Leonard Staff Writer A man indicted back in February faces trial this month for allegedly trying to sell crack cocaine while the deal was close to Leonardtown High School. Vincent Cornelius Gordon faces charges of possessing and distributing crack cocaine late last year after he was identified during a narcotics sting. A confidential informant worked with narcotics detectives to make the buy in the parking lot of the Fast Stop convenience store on Point Lookout Road in Leonardtown Dec. 5, where police reports show that $50 worth of crack cocaine was purchased by the informant from a dealer narcotics officers identified as Gordon through video and audio surveillance. The person selling the narcotics identified themselves as Kat, which narcotics officers said was an alias for Gordon. Officers took the narcotics away from the deal site and tested it, police reports stated, finding that it was authentic. The video surveillance clearly shows the suspects face, according to police reports of the transaction and the telephone conversation used to set up the buy showed that Gordon told the informant to meet him at the convenience store to sell the drugs in a school zone, police wrote in their reports. guyleonard@countytimes.net

Chamber of Commerce Names New Chairperson

By Alex Panos Staff Writer The St. Marys County Chamber of Commerce recently named Kim Oliver as its new chairperson. The chairperson serves a one-year term, and performs duties including acting as spokesperson of the chamber and leading the board meetings. Oliver owns the defense contractor company Amelex, which she purchased in 2003, and will be helping many other business owners throughout St. Marys as the new chairperson of the chamber. Oliver said the chamber provides a chance to focus on issues that impact all businesses daily operations at Amelex require her to focus mainly on the department of defense. Its sort of an outlet for me, she explained of her role at the chamber. The chamber plays a major role helping established businesses continue to grow, she said, and their primary goal is to promote business, which in turn also ends up bringing the county together. They sort of go hand-in-hand, Oliver said. Throughout her time on the board, she has noticed a number of things change over the last six years. The chamber has begun to hold issue forums since her arrival and within the last year, forums such as the annual health care and economic forums have helped businesses see the value in joining the chamber. Both of those were extremely successful, Oliver said, noting the health care forum helped simplify some complex reform policies, while the economic forum helped locals understand the impacts sequestration at Naval Air Station Patuxent River will have on overall spending in the community. They were grateful the experts came in and let them know what to expect. The chamber now features more programs and activities, such as the annual Taste of St. Marys event. Oliver said Taste of St. Marys not only offers a chance for restaurants and caterers to showcase their talents, its also a great way to bring the community together. The meet and greet perspective member events have further informed the community on the benefits the chamber offers. Oliver is a St. Marys County native, and graduate of St. Marys Ryken High School in

Leonardtown. She had a knack for math, and was always interested in the business-world her parents owned a small store she would work in which further sparked her interest. Owning a small business was always a goal of mine, Oliver said. She received a Bachelor of Arts degree in economics and immediately returned to the county after graduating, citing her family and love of St. Marys Countys rural environment as two primary reasons she came back so soon. Oliver began working at Amelex in 1991, which was bought by Zimmerman Associates soon after. Oliver was actively involved in getting the company involved with the chamber and from there began going to chamber functions as a member. I have always enjoyed being involved in community organizations, she said. She immediately identified the great value and benefits of the Chamber of Commerce, such as numerous networking and educational events that help business owners meet the right people. In 2003, she and her business partner bought the company she was working for, changed its name back to Amelex, and soon started attending meetings as a business owner. Oliver began serving on a number of boards and committees, including the awards committee, golf outing committee and scholarship committee. She joined the board for the chamber of commerce in 2007, and the chamber soon
took notice of her efforts. After years as a member, Oliver was approached by a member of the executive committee and asked to join them, with the assumption that she would eventually serve as the chairperson. Out of her deep respect and admiration for the organization, Oliver agreed. Its really an honor to be asked [to join the executive committee] because they see you as adding some value to the committee, Oliver said. In her new role with the organization, Oliver aims to continuing programs the chamber has already established, such as business after hours and the state of the schools lunch. She hopes to add some issue forums relevant to transpiring events in the upcoming months, and introduce the idea of featuring relevant speakers at quarterly meetings. Developing relationships, particularly with the Navy, will be vital as well, she said. In order for the county to move forward, all of our organizations need to work together, Oliver said. She wants to continue to show businesses, through marketing and advertisement campaigns, how beneficial joining the chamber can be. We cant imagine why any business wouldnt want to be a part of the chamber, because we represent them, Oliver said. The reason we exist is to enhance the business community of St. Marys County. alexpanos@countytimes.net

Camp Maria Retreat Center Full of Opportunities

Now in its 76th year, Camp Maria Retreat Center has had many opportunities for great partnerships. Working with the community, these partnerships have helped enhance and carry out the mission of CMRC all year round. Thanks to a ministry grant received from the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth, Camp Maria partnered with Walden Behavioral Health Services to provide a muchneeded spiritual and educational resource to underserved individuals and families seeking recovery from addiction. Walden's Community Engagement Manager, Laura Webb coordinated and facilitated a powerful Recovery Coach Retreats Program as well as a Recovery Leadership Summit where folks could share resources and learn about new developments in the area of recovery from addiction. The Logan C. Caton Charitable Foundation provided financial resources for rebuilding three ramps particularly for the participants in the Muscular Dystrophy Camps. The MDA camps are just around the corner, giving children with Muscular Dystrophy a chance to have a great summer camp experience. Our partnership with Special Love Inc.- BRASS Camp over the years has supported Camp Maria in obtaining bunk beds to expand our capacity as well the repair and rebuild of the South Well House. We look forward to BRASS camp in July. We are so grateful for the opportunities for collaboration. From helping us clean up after last summers storm, to volunteers at our annual Oyster Scald each October. And even the important things that folks do not think about that we are helped with, such as ice donations from Immaculate Heart of Mary Church and Vulcan Materials Company for the upkeep of our driveway, continuous food service support from Bailey's Catering and the behind the scene support that we get from Gerald Gardiner, Emergency Management Manager for St. Mary's County Emergency Services and Technol-

in Lexington Park. Both they and their sons worked tirelessly to build the business to the successful enterprise it is today. Lena became active in community projects, the Navy Wives Club, Lexington Park Baptist Church, Hollywood Fire Dept Ladies Auxiliary, as well as supporting her sons activities at Great Mills High School. Lena was an accomplished artist and painted throughout her life. She also acted and performed in numerous Navy Wives Club plays, as well as performing with two of her granddaughters in Lord Baltimores World at St. Marys City. Lena and Howard fished side-byside in rivers, creeks, and lakes from Maine to Florida. They traveled all over the world as members of the Shillelagh Travel Club. Lena created photo books before scrapbooking was popular. Her life, her travels, her friendships, her family gatherings/celebrations, and her fishing trips are all recorded in over 100 family albums she completed over the years. When her sons returned to Lexington Park to join the family business in 1973, Lena became Grandmother extraordinaire! The grandchildren will tell everyone that she made the most wonderful spam pancakes in the world. Occasionally she would include a cup of highly milked coffee with the pancakes!! Heaven on earth!! She taught the children to fish, to water ski, to know the value of reading books & newspapers, and to value the importance of God in their lives. She taught them to accomplish all things with care and dedication, because everything mattered. She also taught them to learn their own voice and to share it in truth, with dignity, with love, and with respect for the place it comes from. She danced and laughed and celebrated their graduations, weddings, and births of her great-grandchildren. She was always there for them. In recent years, her family activities continued with as much active involvement in the lives of her great-grandchildren. Lena was also an avid letter writer and was never too busy to reach out to people. She valued life and seemed to love and feel things to her bones.

Navy Seeks Comment On Polluted Site

By Guy Leonard Staff Writer The U.S. Navy is looking to excavate soil from a site on base at Patuxent River NAS that was used for decades as a storage area for electrical transformers. A report on the site, known as Site 28 by the Naval Facilities Command, (NAVFAC) shows that soils there contain some levels of potentially cancer causing and non-cancer causing agents at the site which straddles Peary Road and is bounded by buildings Nos. 516, 3134 and 2029. The amounts of those hazardous materials are small enough to not pose a significant threat to most people who would walk in and around the site, the report stated, unless the land were to be used for a residential site or as a place for industrial workers based on analysis of likely

exposure rates. The navy wants to excavate the site and dispose of the soil, about 281 cubic yards, at an approved landfill off site. The other alternative is to do nothing and allow the contaminants to remain in the soil there, according to the report. This means the site would have to be reexamined every five years. The public can make written comments on the remediation plan for the site until August 1. A public meeting on the plan has been scheduled for July 31 at 6p.m. at the Frank Knox Building in Room 100. The written comments can be mailed to base public affairs office, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region III in Philadelphia, Pa. or to the Maryland Department of the Environment in Baltimore. The report is available for public viewing at either the Lexington Park branch of the county public library or the library on base. guyleonard@countytimes.net

This year, 33 of the 53 track and field competitors, ranging from age 11 to 60, received at least one gold medal, including four a piece from Tikira Blackwell and Marcus Davis. Volunteer Susan Chapplear said Andrew Gill thrilled the audience in the 200-meter race with a late come from behind victory on the final stretch. Athlete Jerry Gatton, who is blind, and his guide Dale Becker set their personal best record in route to winning the gold medal in the 100-meter run. Chapplear added, Joey Owens too set his personal best in the shot put competition, despite battling through a number of injuries to compete. Avery Long dominated the high jump and long jump during the event. Long also ran the fastest 200-meter of the weekend in addition to setting the top mark in the jumps St. Marys County athletes racked up 20 gold, two silver and three bronze medals in the swimming games. The swim team, which has traveled to Charles and Calvert counties for qualifying events, competed in two relay races, 25 meter freestyle, 25 meter backstroke and 50 meter freestyle. The Bocce events took place on the universitys soccer field, and 27 competitors from St. Marys County took home 11 gold, seven silver and five bronze medals in singles matches.

In doubles, Linda Higgs and Mary Herbert were beating Stewart and Sewell now teammates for majority of the match before the men began a furious rally to come back and win. The athletes, who began training for competition in mid-March, were exhuberant on the bus up to Towson, eager to take part in the entire two-day experience. They were as excited about the dorm, dining hall experience, parade and dance as they were about the athletic competition, Chappelear said. The national competitions will take place next June, and feature over 3,500 athletes and 80,000 spectators, according to Chappelear. Gold medal winners are eligible to be selected in a random draw this month, most of who will participate in sports such as kayaking, soccer, flag football, cycling, bowling and basketball, Chappelear said.

Player introductions and the Freedom Division and Liberty Division managers speeches will then commence at 7:30 p.m. and wrap-up just in time for

Feral Cat Rescue has over 20 kittens available right now for adoption. Please check out www.feralcatrescuemd.org and email it to diane@feralcatrescuemd.org if you are interested in adopting a cat or a kitten. Please allow Richie to introduce himself: My name is Richie and I am super cute and very friendly! My siblings, my mom and I are very lucky as we were found by a nice lady who called FCR just in time to save us. We were starving, dehydrated and our foster mom who is a vet, saved our lives. What a relief! My mom is Rita and my siblings are Richie & Laverne & Shirley. We were born in April of 2013. Our adoption fees are one kitten for $125 or two kittens for $200. That way, we can be with a sibling and have someone to play with while you are at work. We have been combo tested for FIV and FeLV and we are all negative. We will be spayed or neutered and we will get our rabies vaccine, as well as microchips. If you are interested in adopting me or two of us, please out an application <http://www. feralcatrescuemd.org/uploads/FCRadoptionapplication.pdf>and email it to diane@ feralcatrescuemd.org.
Cat of The Week
James Stephens Morgan, Pt. II

By Linda Reno Contributing Writer This is the necessary inference--for it cannot, for a moment be supposed that I designed to abstract the package, containing letters without examination, in order at my leisure to look at their contents, I should have passed over Leonardtown, Head of the Bay, and all the other offices, to pick upon a solitary package from the Great Mills, having nothing to distinguish it as valuable... The question, then whether I had such opportunity for examination, in point of timeand whether there was any appearance of secrecy attempted in the discharge of my mail duties on that day?...I am not without proof upon these points, as will appear by the following sworn statements of a gentleman of integrity, well known in the neighborhood in which I reside...the name of the person who was in the office when I opened the mail [has been omitted] as my sole object is self-vindication. On August 31, 1850 Samuel Brookbank deposed that he was at the store of H. G. Garner & Co. on August 19 when the mail arrived from Leonardtown and he saw Morgan go into the counting room to open the mail bag; that the door to the room and the window was open the whole time; Morgan was in the counting room no longer that two minutes at any given time; and that another person was present in the room. Morgan continued The time, then, for examination is limited to the period between my return from the store to the counting room, with the Chaptico mail matter--for, of course the presence of the person in the room at the time of opening and assorting the mail, effectually precluded any such purpose at that period; and yet, if the suspicions were correct, less than two minutes sufficed not only for this examination, but to arrange and to place the mail, deposit the Chaptico contributions, close the mail bag and deliver it to the driver. For, be it remembered, there is no pretence that, with the exception of the missing letter, there was anything irregular in the whole days processing. I very humbly submit that such task of examination was impossible to anyone only blessed with the ordinary complement of eyes and handsIf these facts, briefly stated are not sufficient to remove all doubt, I must be permitted, in the discharge of a high duty, not only to those who trusted me, and whose confidence in my integrity has never wavered for an instant--not only to my own character, but to the memory of my beloved parents, to play for a while the egotist. I am yet young--only 22 years of age, and yet five years ago I was the confidential clerk of Mr. James J. Gough at Chaptico, having control of large funds... For years I discharged most of the duties connected with his varied large money transactions, he being an invalid; he lived trusting me--he died with that confidence undiminished. To be continued.

Beatlemania Again Lives On

By Kimberly Alston Contributing Writer For about two and a half hours, Beatlemania Again gives fans of the original Beatles a chance to see what it may have been like to see the fab four in a concert back in 1968. For over 18 years, Dave Pal, Rich Morello, Tom Godsman and Mark Ehnamm have taken on the roles of John Lennon, Ringo Starr, George Harrison and Paul McCartney as they trace the career of the Beatles from their debut in 1964 to their finale in 1969. The instruments used in a Beatlemania Again show are period rich to those played with in the 60s in order to give the show a more authentic sound. Beatlemania Again has been around for more than 18 years, performing approximatly 75 shows per year. While the Beatles hailed from England, Beatlemania Again tends to stay rooted in the United States, but, according to owner and performer Rich Morello, our audience rangers from young children to senior citizens. Everyone enjoys singing along to all the classic Beatles songs, he said. Since the shows beginning, audience feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. According to a testimonial from Melissa Anastasia, for my kids, this group is the Beatles, she said, adding, We always have a great time singing along [and] laughing at the great humor put on with the group. Beatlemania Again tries to have a genuinely authentic concert atmosphere, even holding signings and taking pictures after their shows. The show recreates the music, the magic and
the mania of a live Beatles performance, Morello said, We do our best to capture the energy and excitement of a live Beatles concert. The show features three acts, Meet the Beatles, SGT. Pepper and Get Back, each highlighting a different pivotal point in the Beatles career. Act one revisits the Beatles migration from London to America, showcasing the original sounds of their albums and the
actual instruments used by the group during that time. Act two highlights the change that the Beatles embraced after touring around the Philippines and Japan. Everything is live during act two with no backing tracks added. The final act showcases the fab fours personalities. Each member dealing with his own life. Beatlemania Again brings back the emotion that was hidden at the end of the Beatles career. Beatlemania Again is a rockumentary, said Morello. The show is planning on continuing for several years to come, inspiring music fans of all age groups. Beatlemania Again is set to perform during St. Marys Ryken High Schools Community Concert Series on Saturday, July 13 at 8 p.m. in the schools theatre. Doors will open at 7 p.m. Concessions will be available and no coolers will be allowed. Tickets are $39 each and seating is general admission. Tickets can be ordered by calling 301-373-4182.

In the Annals of Job-Quitting, the quit you executed was fabulous. Everybody thought you were a lifer at work. Nobody thought youd ever leave. But youd been quietly job-hunting for months, and on the day you got the call you were waiting for (and the new position), you shocked them all. You quit quit! And you couldnt stop smiling. Ten years ago, Andy Sachs famously quit her job at Runway with a big, Parisian f-bomb. But in the new book Revenge Wears Prada by Lauren Weisberger, she shouldve known that you cant escape The Devil that easily. Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome. Andy Sachs was sure she had that once, thanks to her assistants job with Miranda Priestly at Runway magazine. Now, it had been a full decade since shed escaped, ten years since Mirandas ring-tone made Andy cringe. Ten years since Andy quit in a blaze of dubious glory. Things sure had changed in that decade. Right after she left Runway, Andy found work as a wedding blogger. Her best friend, Lily, moved to Colorado; and Alex, Andys first love, broke up with her in a most pathetic way. Not long after that, Andy and her former-enemyturned-bestie, Emily, started The Plunge, a fabulous celeb-and-picture-filled wedding magazine, the cover on which every bride wanted to be. Best of all, Emily introduced Andy to Max Harrison, and now Andy was a newlywed. But, of course, life never runs smoothly. On the morning of her
wedding, Andy accidentally found a letter from Maxs mother, and it turned out that Barbara hated Andy. That undermined Andys self-confidence, despite that Max was loving, handsome, and supportive. He was also good with investments: he was one of The Plunges earliest backers, after all. Yep, The Plunge was good. It was Andys baby, and it made her happy. Everybody loved that magazine - including Elias-Clark, the firm that wanted to acquire it, the firm that also owned Runway. Runway, with Miranda Priestly at the helm Oh, my, theres a lot going on in Revenge Wears Prada. And youre going to love every single page of it. Its always nice to reconnect with old friends, especially when theyre as sweet and smart as Andy Sachs. Author Lauren Weisberger let her character mature but she otherwise hasnt altered those aspects of Andys personality. Even though its been ten years since we first met her, Andys just as endearing as she was in Weisbergers first book. Whats different here is that Miranda Priestly is even more evil. Honestly, theres one passage in this book that made my skin crawl. Its deliciously scary, like almost out of a horror novel, and that couldnt be more perfect. I really dont think you need to have read Weisbergers first novel to understand this one; it might help, but you can get a sense of what happened pretty much anywhere. I can tell you this, though: whether youre new to this story, or youre an old fan from way-back, once you start reading Revenge Wears Prada, you wont be able to quit.

Smile and say Cheese!

By Debra Meszaros CSN www.MXSportsNutrition.com Can cheese be a health food that can help your brain, heart, and bones? Are there important differences in your cheese choices? How does your favorite cheese stack up against the rest? There are many myths we are led to believe about foods and our dietary habits. Cheese may just be one more food that could actually be placed on the good list if we just understood the difference between the vast varieties available. Many nutritional experts agree that the human diet should include 50 to 70 percent quality fats to achieve optimal health. Cheese when consumed in the right form can supply high quality protein, amino acids, saturated fats, and Omega 3s; vitamin A , D, zinc, calcium, phosphorus, B2, B12, vitamin K, and CLA. Quality cheese is one that is manufactured (fermented) with just a few ingredients; its simply goat or sheep milk, a starter culture, salt, and an enzyme. This is the opposite of fake cheeses like Velveeta, Cheese Whiz, and most other squeeze cheeses and pasteurized cheeses. Other inferior cheeses are any that do not need refrigeration or ones containing coloring agents and additives. A key factor to a healthier cheese is pasture raised animals that are never fed grains. Quality cheese will be labeled Raw. An organic label will also ensure the cheese is a higher quality product. Additionally, raw, grass-fed, organic cheese contains more calcium, magnesium, vitamin A, C, D, and E than other forms of cheese. Grass-fed is a major component to managing the proper balances of Omega 6 and 3 as grass-fed provides the proper ratio of 2:1 of Omega 6 and 3. Non grass-fed has an unbalanced ratio of 25:1 and an imbalance in Omega 6 to 3 contributes to inflammation in the body. In general quality raw cheese has lower sodium levels. Building healthy bones is more than just about

Programs and Activities
calcium, and raw cheeses pack a substantial amount of vitamin K2. Gouda, Brie, Edam, Cheddar, Colby, hard Goat Cheese, Swiss, and Gruyere are highest in vitamin K. For those who may be lactose intolerant, much of the lactose is removed during the cheese making process, so one may be able to consume raw cheese; as it also contains enzymes to help in its digestion. Do remember that in order for a raw cheese to maintain its enzyme content, it cannot be heated above 115 degrees. Hopefully as you begin to understand how to identify quality cheese, you will be able to throw out the guilt and load up on some key nutrients! But remember even a healthy food should not be consumed everydayrotation.rotationrotation.variety is a key to optimal health.
