Since then he has worked in warrants as a supervisor, he said. Evans said that his agency has made strides in dealing with drugs and will be adding more personnel this year to combat the problem. He said he would not directly answer his opponents charges in the media. The people of Calvert County will see what Ive done over the past 12 years, Evans said. If any citizen wants to know what we do to combat narcotics Ill tell them. He said any low morale was due to back-to-back years of no salary or step increases for personnel, which Calvert commissioners allowed to an extent this year. Evans said the agency is a place where many want to work. Weve had 400 applications to work here, if people arent happy here they need to find something else because there are people out there who want to do it, Evans said. Theres not a lack of people who want to do their jobs. guyleonard@countytimes.net

COUNTY NEWS
For the fourth year, Southern Maryland teens got a leg up toward becoming effective leaders in their communities during the unique LEAD summer camp experience. A highly diverse group of 44 students from public and private high schools in Calvert, Charles and St. Marys counties took on a comprehensive course in leadership, learning about motivation and empowerment, diversity, group dynamics and goal setting. While rigorous with workshops, group projects and hands-on service, the delegates also had ample time to get to know each other and create lasting memories and friendships. LEAD 2013 is a partnership between Leadership Southern Maryland (LSM) and the Maryland Leadership Workshops (MLW), with a mission to inspire and empower youth to become catalysts for positive change which coincides perfectly with LSMs mission of regional collaboration. In fact, LEAD is an acronym for Leadership, Experience, Advocacy and Discipline, all components of the teens experience. The four-day, three-night camp welcomed rising sophomores, juniors and seniors to St. Marys College of Maryland, where they experienced campus living. LSM board members sat in on discussions offering mentorship and examples of how leadership works in the real world. Guest speakers Ken Carkhuff and Kim Mozingo joined the delegates on the first evening for a workshop asking them to define leadership. Both told the group about the importance of humility, a strong moral compass and getting to know the people you work with. Carkuff told the inquisitive teens, Everybody has a story in life and when you take the time to hear it, you develop stronger relationships and become a stronger leader. Students were asked to assess their own and others leadership styles. LaPlata High School senior Jake Lind said he acquired several new skills and discovered some talents he didnt even know he had. On the final day of camp, Calvert High School senior Robert White said, [I learned] that I can be a great leader someday. He said he would encourage others to experience LEAD at least once. Purposely paired with dorm mates from different schools, with different interests, the delegates were encouraged to connect with their peers, find common ground and, through lessons learned in the diversity workshop, accept them and respect their differences. Nailah Jefferson said she was pulled out of her shyness, commenting, The experience of LEAD was a blessing and I loved every part. Jefferson, like several delegates, said the diversity training, while highly emotional, was

and the St. Marys River. While touring the State House and the replica of The Dove, the group learned just how timeless some of the principles of leadership are, as they heard details about the life of Lord Baltimore and the tribulations of the early colony founded on religious freedom. On Tuesday morning, the delegates trekked down to the waterfront at the college to join staff and volunteers from the St. Marys River Watershed Association for some hands-on community service restoring the local oyster population. For the second year, the Association has partnered with LEAD to connect delegates with their environment and educate them about water quality and oysters as powerful filters of the rivers and the Chesapeake Bay. Executive Director Bob Lewis explained the mission of the Association and how the approach is two-fold, including both restoration of the oyster population and curbing pollution. He issued safety guidelines then directed the groups to one of three stations. Students learned about the creatures that call the St. Marys River home, encountering a feisty blue crab, jellyfish and fish of all sizes as they took turns with a 100-foot seining net. Steve Schneider, a Maryland Department of Natural Resources Fisheries Biologist explained aquaculture, the life cycles of oysters, their critical function within the ecosystem and this once abundant bivalves history in Southern Maryland. He and Association board member John Spinicchia discussed current projects aimed at restoring oyster populations close to home and the many ways delegates and the entire community can help by being more conscious in their daily lives to avoid harming the watershed. Groups of students rode out on a barge guided by seasoned waterman and boat captain Craig Kelley with stacks of Marylanders Grow Oysters cages to be emptied onto the threedimensional oyster reef at the oyster sanctuary in St. Marys River. With the LEAD delegates help, about 600,000 oysters were introduced into this innovative habitat restoration project. Program Director Alison Rugila and several summer interns guided the students through unloading about 100 bushels of spat-on-shell from the Associations oyster nursery tank, then putting 200 bags of washed shell back in along with 2.5 million larvae. LEAD alum and Great Mills senior Jared Kimmey, was working hard as part of his internship with St. Marys River Watershed Association. The inaugural oyster planting he participat-
ed in as part of his LEAD experience last year made a significant impact on him and his group selected raising awareness about oyster restoration and environmental issues among their peers as the subject of its final synthesis project. This year, delegates divided into two groups and offered synthesis project presentations before their fellow delegates, the MLW staffers and a panel of Leadership Southern Maryland board members. One group decided to focus on decreasing childhood obesity, sharing the staggering statistics of how commonplace an unhealthy diet and a lack of exercise has become for kids. They suggested solutions, like adults setting a better example, more community events and recreation centers that encourage more young people to get out, active, and healthy. The other group began and ended their presentation by acting out a scene. At first, a new student was fraught with no help from her classmates, and in the end, with the groups mentoring initiative in place, the students experience was greatly improved. The groups concept was pairing a junior with an incoming freshman or new student to help acquaint them with the school and allow them not feel so lost and alone. Both groups answered questions from the LSM panel and from parents, showing they had action plans in place and explaining how they worked as a group to construct these projects. Executive Director Karen Holcomb reminded the students they have LSM as an agent to work on their behalf should they want to pursue these and other topics relevant to their communities. Holcomb was very involved with the program this year and said, It is terrific to participate alongside the delegates and truly see the program content and meaning emerge through activities and projects ... not to mention the bonfires, barges and oysters! Whether students were encouraged to attend LEAD 2013 by advisors in their schools, family members or from seeing an ad in the local newspaper, they all agreed the skills gained and boost in confidence will benefit them now and in the future. Olivia Keithley, MLW Assistant Director, said, This years LEAD delegates reminded me of the incredible ability and power young people have when they come together as leaders. These 44 young people are most definitely well equipped with the tools they need to make a positive change in their schools and communities, she said.

ees at the hospital credit for the hard work they do. The hospital employs individuals who are knowledgeable and highly educated in their respective fields and able to assimilate advancements into their treatments. Currently, the hospital is hiring technicians and nurses, Xinis said.
Fundraising Efforts
The hospital spends nearly $10 million every year on new equipment, just replacing machines and instruments that are worn down, Xinis said. This doesnt cover new construction and other ventures. Monies that go into the hospital are used at the hospital. To help fill the gap, several fundraisers are held every year. One of the biggest events of the year is the Harvest Ball, according to Associate Vice President of Corporate Communication and Client Service Kasia Sweeney. This year will mark the 25th annual harvest ball. The money raised at the annual event goes toward a different need every year, this year going toward the hospitals newest initiative. Entertainment at the ball will be pro-
vided again by Nightlife, a Washington, D.C. band known for their high energy, Kasia said. The event will be held again at the Show Place Arena, which will be transformed into an elegant ballroom designed by Hargrove, Inc. This years theme Theres No Place Like Home is a tribute to the Wizard of Oz. Guests will follow the Yellow Brick Road through a large silent auction area before enjoying a gourmet meal and dancing in the Emerald City. Golf tournaments and a casino night ate among other annual fundraisers. The on site gift shop is another fundraising entity, recently joined by a thrift store in Dunkirk. The thrift store is open the first Saturday of every month from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and located in the Dunkirk Marketplace between Safeway and Judis Consignment Shop. Proceeds from the thrift store go toward the Sheldon E. Goldberg Center for Breast Care. For more information, including ways to get involved, www.calverthospital.org. sarahmiller@countytimes.net

One Local Church Sets High Standard for Promoting Good Health
Here is another example, worthy of spotlighting, that demonstrates how our Calvert County is comprised of a marvelous network of many wonderful and caring communities. The Brooks United Methodist Church hosted their Ministry Health Fair Saturday, June 29 on the church campus. They could serve as a role model for other congregations seeking to develop practical, relevant programs that address the whole-person needs of the community, including the physical, spiritual, emotional and relational ones. Brooks UMC had a DJ providing entertainment, a moon bounce activity for the children, free food and drink, numerous door prizes, a number of stations including blood pressure checks, cholesterol screening, CPR training along with others. It seemed to me that they had more than a dozen community healthcare and service providers present with information, resources and guidance on a whole host of health care issues. They had more than a dozen community healthcare and service providers present with information, resources and guidance on a whole host of health care issues. I happened to be there on behalf of Calvert Hospice. I learned a couple of things myself that I would do well to follow up as a result of making my own rounds with to my healthcare peers tables. Whatever becomes of our nations evolving health care in light of the tsunami of the aging demographic of our nations population, I am heartened to see that there are communities like Brooks UMC who are equipping parishioners and neighbors to navigate the unfamiliar (and sometimes unpredictable) waters of healthcare today...and to do so with passion, heart and soul. All of life may be seen through the lens of stewardship or as a sacred trust, including our measure of health and related healthcare decisions. Kudos to their Senior Pastor, Rev. James Robinson, along with Dr. Dolores Y. Rhodes and Dr. Y. Renee Bright and their entire Brooks team for doing the hard work that breathed this quality of caring to life!

Design Diaries...
Mix and Match Metals?...
Design Diaries is a bi-weekly segment; meant to inspire, influence and educate homeowners that are ready to make a change to their homes but just dont know where to start.
We hear this question all the time - Is it ok to mix stainless steel with oil rubbed bronze? Somewhere along the line an unwritten rule scared people into thinking that mixing metals in a room was a big NO NO...but I say, Rules Schmules!
Make sure that whatever metals you choose make sense with the overall design of your room. Think long and hard about whether a shiny modern chrome fixture belongs in your Tuscan-style kitchen.
SERVICES:
Custom, Semi Custom and Budget Friendly Cabinets Countertop Replacements Tile Backsplash/Flooring Color Consultations Custom Furnishings Space Planning for both Commercial and Residential Full Service Interior Design Studio Custom Window Treatments Design Interiors for Commercial Space, Residential and Yachts We will work with your contractors or our licensed contractors
Metals have color undertones...copper is warm, chrome and stainless are cool, oilrubbed bronze warm, etc. It generally looks best to mix metals of similar undertones. But again, rules can be bent when the overall style makes sense.
3. Consider finishes.
Generally, shiny finishes will attract the most attention and matte finishes will blend away. Put shiny finishes on what you want to stand out. (You can certainly mix finishes!)
4. Consistency is key.
Dont go all willy-nilly mixing metals and make everything a different color/type. Set up guidelines for what will be what: lights in stainless, cabinet hardware in black iron for example. Keep all of one thing one metal color (appliances), keep all of something else the second metal (hardware), and even add a third (lighting)-- but keep it consistent among the elements.
Try to have three items in the same metal, which will be easy to do if you have three appliances (stove, fridge, dishwasher), multiple cabinet knobs, and three or more pendant lights. Divide it up this way and youll do fine.
In short, go ahead, mix away. Have fun and remember design is very personal and there really is no wrong way to do things. If you need help with your design dilemmas - make sure to contact us at SKD Studios or visit our new studio in Solomons to schedule an in home consultation. www.skdstudios.com

His passion for automobiles and racing continued his entire life, drag racing and circle track being his favorite. He joined the Teamsters Union and was a heavy equipment operator/diesel mechanic. He usually worked nights, which enabled him to devote more time to working on his race car and his friends that raced. He raced nationwide with Larry Kopp and also raced with Ronald Poore and Kenny Keir. In 1991, he started working for Henry Guyther at Henrys Engineering as a hi-performance hose and fitting specialist. He remained involved with racing through his many old friends and new alike. He created WSO Research to help friends and clients with racing needs and was consulted up until the time of his passing. His vast knowledge of racing/ engines will never be replaced or replicated. His love of Hot Rods kept him at car shows near and far. Bill still met with a large group of his high school buddies for lunch. Bill was predeceased by his parents and his brother, Philip C. OBerry. He is survived by his nieces Shawne L. OBerry of Great Mills, and Shayna C. OBerry of Clinton, Md., and devoted companion Carolyn Fike Schindler of Solomons,Md. Honorary Pallbearers are Kenny Keir, Adam Keir, Tommy Carroll, J.W. Langley, James Buddy Gott, Harold Denton and Henry Guyther, and R. Howard Pouncey. Visitation is Thursday, July 11 at Rausch Funeral Home, Lusby, Maryland, from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. with services at 1 p.m. Interment will be private.

The Relief Of Victory
By Ronald N. Guy Jr. Contributing Writer Paul Simons song Mrs. Robinson included the iconic verse, Where have you gone Joe DiMaggio?/A nation turns its lonely eyes to you. Simons words were meant as a sincere, although melancholy tribute to an extremely private and regal sports hero the kind who now gets consumed and distorted by the hyper-consumption of modern pop culture. The song was released in 1968, 17 years after DiMaggio retirement, but it was still Joltin Joe who left Simon nostalgic for the way things used to be and understandably so. Before World War II, DiMaggio embodied the hope of Yankees fans in the post-Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig era (no pressure, Joe). In 1941, DiMaggios remarkable 56-game hitting streak became a daily, national respite from the escalating war in Europe. And when he returned from military service for the 1946 season, it was DiMaggio and the great game of baseball that helped a nation heal. DiMaggio, as Simon immortalized, handled these enormous pressures during and after his career with incomparable grace. Still, at times he must have longed to escape the expectations of others and to be an anonymous ball player or an average Joe strolling the streets of New York. It is a feeling he rarely, if ever knew after debuting with the Yankees in 1936 ironically a year with great sports significance across the pond. Every June tennis best gather at the All England Club for perhaps the sports most prestigious tournament: The Wimbledon Championships. Each edition of Wimbledon renews Great Britains desperation for one of its boys to win their tennis national title. For the record, Fred Perry was the last British man to win Wimbledon in - you guessed it - 1936. The years since - all 77 of them have made a Wimbledon championship a national obsession. Tim Henman, a highly ranked player in the late 90s and early 2000s got close to exorcising Great Britains curse, but lost in the semifinals 4 times. Great Britain has now turned its lonely eyes to Andy Murray, its latest would-be hero. Murray, ranked second in the world, has been steadily ascending at Wimbledon, reaching the semifinals in 2009-11 and losing a heartbreaking final in 2012. Murrays talent and heavy flirtations with ending Great Britains drought have created a surreal aura around his Wimbledon matches. The collective anxiety is apparent (even through a T.V screen 3,000 miles away). The crowd gasps whenever his shots near an out of bounds line and groans when he loses points. They watch his matches through their fingers and with the look of someone in both emotional pain and on the verge of vomiting. Murray, too, bears the weight of a nation. He appears mentally distressed and physically uncomfortable. Its an altogether excruciating exercise. An American sports synonym might be the scene from Wrigley Field whenever the Cubs threaten to win their first World Series since 1908. And so it was as Murray fought his way into the 2013 Wimbledon final. This time, though, he successfully carried a nations hopes and de feated Novak Djokovic to claim Great Britains first mens singles title at Wimbledon since Joe DiMaggio was a rookie. A nations worth of lonely, lowly and desperate eyes erupted in jubilation. For Murray, joy was certainly present and will swell over time, but his overwhelming emotion appeared to be relief that it was over and that he escaped last years agony. He couldnt possibly have enjoyed being in that moment or playing Wimbledon at all. It wasnt about him; it was about delivering what a transfixed nation wanted most. This is no ones fault, of course. The British shouldnt be criticized for their national pride. Murray cant be blamed for his nationality or his tennis acumen and he couldnt have fathomed inheriting a national initiative when he first grabbed a racket. Nevertheless, the visual of a weary Murray at Centre Court is a reminder that our goals and life-decisions must be, whenever possible, our own. Altering ones personal paths to satisfy the expectations others will temper the thrill garnered from any victory and leave us mostly relieved that we made someone else smile.

by a quarter of an inch. 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.
