Private Ambulance Service Seeking To Keep Insurance
By Guy Leonard Staff Writer Patriot Medical Transport System LLC, a commerical ambulance company based in Charlotte Hall is seeking authorization in U.S. District Court to make an agreement that will allow it to keep its insurance coverage after it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy back in October of last year. According to filings obtained by The County Times from Patriot Medicals attorneys, also filed in U.S. District Court, the nonemergency ambulance company is seeking a quick affirmative response from the court for a insurance premium finance agreement. [Patriot Medicals] insurance will lapse unless the debtor is permitted to enter into the finance agreement, court filings stated. The deadline for that agreement to be fulfilled was July 15. Augustus Curtis, attorney with the Bethesda law firm Cohen, Baldridge and Greenfeld LLC, said their clients motion for relief was a common one. Its a routine annual renewal of their vehicles insurance, Curtis said. Theyre in a Chapter 11 reorganization proceeding. But theyre very close to successfully emerging from Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Curtis said their clients obtained more time to enter into the insurance premium finance agreement and that the ambulance companys insurance had not lapsed. The creditor in that finance agreement would be the First Insurance Funding Corporation, according to court filings. When Patriot Medical opened in Mechanicsville several years ago county emergency response officials believed that would allow volunteer companies to respond more ably to emergency calls without having to respond to non-life threatening calls for service. Victor DeMattia, the ambulance service owner, said he expected resolution of the bankruptcy issue soon. Were looking for a confirmation hearing for coming out of bankruptcy for Chapter 11 in about a week, DeMattia said. guyleonard@countytimes.net

By Guy Leonard Staff Writer Commissioners will now study the intricacies of the Lexington Park Development District Master Plan after getting a brief glimpse of it at their Tuesday meeting. Commissioner Todd Morgan said the plan, which seeks to guide development of the aging urban area for the next 20 to 30 years, was formulated before the federal government had engaged sequester cuts that forced leadership on Patuxent River Naval Air Station to shift their main gate, Gate 2, which is right in the heart of Lexington Park to Gate 1 farther up on Route 235. Morgan is worried that the traffic rerouting means diminished business opportunites for the Great Mills Road corridor but it may also shift the focus of the development plan. The plan currently focuses a great deal of its energy in revitalizing the downtown portion of Lexington Park with green space, public government and retail anchors and improved street connections that allow more community ac-

To The Editor
Lt. Gen Jerry Boykin wrote an article regarding our current congress of sweeping the Benghazi occurrence under the rug, I believe we should all join him with our support. Our government is clearly out of control. Too many issues are being swept under the rug. The politicians will state that they are investigating an issue, put it on the shelf and then return to their primary concern of raising funds for their re-election. They spend our money like there is no tomorrow. I do not believe any of our current politicians, both state and federal are doing their job, regardless of party, they need to be fired. They are certainly not following the rules and guidelines set forth by out constitution. It is obvious that the government has become too large and is using its excessive control over all citizens. We are without any doubt leading into a socialist society. Executive orders being issued are not within the frame-

ernize and even shield himself from rising energy costs. He installed a working solar panel field on his property that, in just the first month of operation, has allowed him to cut his electricity bills in half. Dever said if he finds the project a success hell build another one to completely power his operations using solargenerated electricity. He used capital he already had saved to complete the project he said; any business going into debt to undertake the project would quickly find it not worth it. I did it to cut my constants [costs], Dever said. The field, measuring 50 yards by 30 yards with 300 panels, generates 72 kilowatts of power, he said. With the shape of the local and national economies and hefty cuts to the defense industry now taking shape he said he wanted to do all he could to protect his business. The local vendor Solar Tech Inc. based in Hollywood provided the panels and he provided the mounting, Dever said. He said the current push to diversify the economy in the county was a tenous effort at best and it would take businesses

a long time to find their own products to bring to market before they could make it without defense industry money. You need your own products if you dont have government contracts, Dever said. The base is the product here. If the base closes well have tumbleweeds rolling through here, Dever said. You might as well put a pad lock on my door.
Steve Anderson, director of the countys Department of Economic and Community Development, said light manufacturing like Devers operation was critical to alleviating the countys dependency on defense dollars. The local economy will likely never supplant the defense industry, but just broadening the countys economic base will reap major benefits.

Finding ways to build more for the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) was key, he said. We cant supplant the $40 billion monster but we can supplement it, said Anderson. Of the $40 billion NAVAIR generates in product acquisition spending only $2 billion stays in the state, Anderson said, with just $500 million remaining in the county. If that figure could increase by 20 percent, he said, the benefits would be much higher. It would be a huge haul but it would also mean thousands of jobs, Anderson said. Manufacturing operations were job mulitpliers, Anderson said, meaning that every job the operation created five more often spring up to support it from supplies and raw materials. The key was to help manufacturers find other markets for which they could produce non-defense related products to diversify. We dont have enough international trade, Anderson said. The markets havent been expanded enough to help them [manufacturers]. Using the county governments resources to create those kinds of business networks for local manufacturers was important, he said, especially since American manufactured goods were in demand in places like Central and South America where their quality was appreciated. Businesses like Devers were the kind the county needed. Its the kind of thing wed like to see more of, Anderson said. Its not going to be easy to get this done but if we dont do this its still going to be a one-horse town.
Though most of his operation focuses on supporting UAVs, Dever hasnt forgotten his roots of doing odd machine jobs for local residents. He remembers making a commercial decades ago that advertised painting services for antique metal lawn furniture that still brings people in today, though now he uses modern powder coating technology. Its all part of his philosophy of never turning down work or a customer. We do work for people off the street, Dever said. We very rarely turn people away. There will always be a need for a machine shop. guyleonard@countytimes.net

By Guy Leonard Staff Writer Circuit Court Judge David W. Densford ruled last week that police acted properly when they entered the Lexington Park home of James Mitchell Carter hours after they found the brutally beaten and bloodied body of his estranged wife in the back yard of her Douglas Court house. Carter stands accused of second-degree murder in the death of Kimberly Dawn Carter though his attorney argued that the police entrance into his home in the early morning hours of Feb. 19 violated his Fourth Amendment rights under the Constitution. Prosecutors and police said at the July 12 court hearing that law officers feared for the safety of three daughters residing with Carter because of the brutal nature of his wifes killing. Carter has never admitted to killing his wife to police. Carter also wanted to sup-

not tell Carter he was under arrest when he was placed in handcuffs. Hill described Carters demeanor as extremely calm. I did not know his mental state, Hill said. But from experience I know that peoples behavior could change in an instant. Densford said in his ruling that the Fourth Amendments protections against warrantless search and seizure were inviolable except in extreme circumstances; this situation met those criteria. Densford said that in a persons home there is no greater expectation of privacy but that because of the brutal crime scene and the concern for the welfare of the children they [the police] had a right to be there. guyleonard@countytimes.net

Young Leaders Help Association Plant Thousands of Oysters in St. Marys River
For the second year, the St. Marys River Watershed Association partnered with LEAD, a residential, experiential summer camp hosted by Leadership Southern Maryland, to connect its delegates with their environment and educate them about water quality and oysters as powerful filters of the rivers and the Chesapeake Bay. On the morning of June 25, the forty-four delegates headed down to the waterfront at St. Marys College of Maryland to join Association staff and volunteers for some hands-on community service restoring the local oyster population. 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 took turns helping board member John Spinicchia operate a 100-foot seining net, capturing then learning about creatures that call the St. Marys River home. The delegates, all high school students from Calvert, Charles and St. Marys counties, encountered several species like silversides, jellyfish and one particularly feisty blue crab. 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. The delegates learned about some current projects aimed at restoring oyster populations close to home and the many ways they can lead their communities to be better environmental stewards. Groups of the 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 three-dimensional 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. Lewis, program director Alison Rugila and several 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 2012 alum and STEM summer intern Jared Kimmey was on-site, working hard. He said the inaugural oyster planting he participated in as part of his LEAD experience last
year made a significant impact on him. For its final synthesis project at camp, his group focused on raising awareness about oyster restoration and environmental issues among their peers. While some delegates seemed comfortable on the water or willing to touch the aquatic wildlife, it was a brand new experience for others. Working together the two groups made light work of an impressive improvement to the health of the St. Marys River and the local oyster population. We are grateful for this wonderful partnership and the unique and meaningful opportunity it provides our delegates, said LSM Executive Director Karen Holcomb.

In developed areas, the natural filtration system for rainwater has been disrupted. Instead of forests and meadows, the land is covered with hard surfaces like roads, sidewalks, rooftops and driveways. Runoff from these surfaces overwhelms the soils ability to absorb the water so it continues to our waterways collecting pollution and trash. A rain garden is landscaped depression designed to capture rain runoff. A ponding area and soils with great drainage capacity allow time for the water to soak into the ground and plant roots.

Lore Oyster House Day & Public Sail Aboard Dee of St. Marys
The J.C. Lore Oyster House in Solomons will brim with activity July 27 and August 10 from 1 to 4 p.m. Visitors will get a taste of what life is like for a Chesapeake waterman and the people who worked in oyster processing houses. There will be on-going activities all afternoon both in the oyster house and out on the dock. You can try your hand at oyster tonging; learn to tie a towline and coil a rope; measure oysters and follow the path an oyster takes through the processing house from the loading dock to the shipping room. You can tie on a work apron, stand in a stall, and become a shucker, or take on the role of the skimmer and decide how many pints have been shucked and what the shuckers should be paid. Studying our giant soft sculpture oyster Rock-E-Feller is a great way to learn oyster anatomy. Along with the fun and educational activities inside the oyster house, Captain Ed will be taking the Dee of St. Marys out on her first public sail from 2 to 4 p.m. This historic boat is one of the few remaining skipjacks on the Chesapeake Bay certified to carry passengers. The skipjack leaves from the Lore Oyster House dock. The fee is $25 per person and pre-registration is required. Call 410-326-2042 ext. 41 and make your reservations today. Space is limited. The Dee of St. Marys was built in 1979 in Piney Point, Maryland by shipwright Francis Goddard. She was the first skipjack built on the Western Shore of the Chesapeake in a quarter of a century. The Dee is 56 feet long with a 20 foot beam. Her mast is 76 feet tall and her boom is about 56 feet long. She carries about 2,600 square feet of sail with a hull speed of roughly 10 knots--about 11 miles per hour. Dont miss an opportunity to experience this piece of Chesapeake history!

My name is Julia. I was rescued from the shelter where there was a good possibility that I would be euthanized. The vet said that I am about 2 years old. I am super affectionate and crave human attention. I, instantly, loved my foster mom and I seek out her company because I love for her to pet me. I purr and purr in delight. She even lets me sleep with her. She is really nice but she needs to find me a home so that she can rescue some one else. If you would like to adopt me, you can fill out an application at www.feralcatrescuemd.org/uploads/body_bg.png and email it to diane@feralcatrescuemd.org.

They originally planned to use the boat to bring in the Tiki King on Tiki Bar opening weekend, but it wasn't ready. The additions took added 28 feet to the total length of the craft, bringing it up to a total of 56 feet long, while remaining eight feet wide. The added weight meant the original motor was seriously underpowered. They upgraded it to a 115 horsepower motor, which doesn't overheat like the previous motor, but only moves the pontoon at approximately 5 miles per hour. In total, Parker said they put approximately $8,000 into the boat. They christened it the Chuggers Pirate Boat, names after a hockey team the men play on. To add a bit of hockey flavor to the boat, the steering wheel is made of hockey sticks. With the Tiki Bar opening weekend out of the question, the men focused on preparing it for a July 1 departure to its new home in Port Tobacco. Getting the boat from Golden Beach to Port Tobacco was very scary. It was horrible, Parker said. We went where no pontoon boat was ever meant to go. During the three-day trip, the men encountered six and eight-foot swells and whitecaps, which threatened to capsize the boat, and mechanical issues requiring floating repairs. They weathered the foul weather and made it to Port Tobacco Marina at 8 p.m. on July 3 just in time for the holiday. Currently, the boat is a floating attraction
at the marina, capable of taking 10 occupants. Parker plans to use more pontoons for added buoyancy, which would increase the capacity. Were glad to have them here, said marina manager Melissa Hill. The new installment will be a great attraction, she said, and the marina is happy to have the Chuggers Pirate Ship call Port Tobacco Marina home.
The mens original plan was to keep the boat in the area, establish a non-profit and give rides to underprivileged kids. This plan hit a snag when the coast guard would not give the boat a registration because it was homemade, which made insurance a challenge. sarahmiller@countytimes.net

It really didnt matter, though. Choice of physician wasnt an issue in the ER, but pain and fear definitely were. You didnt care who you saw right then. You just wanted it over - stat, as they say. When it was, and you were finally home safe, you realized something: you saw the doctor for about three minutes. He was caring, but cursory. Brief, and very businesslike. And in the new book What Doctors Feel by Danielle Ofri, MD, youll get a glimpse of what mightve gone through his head that night. For decades, weve been conditioned to believe that doctors are supposed to keep an emotional distance from their patients. We expect a certain detachment and formality but we also expect compassion. Is this a contradiction in demand? Dr. Danielle Ofri says no. Though remaining businesslike may often be essential, the physician-patient interaction is still primarily a human one. No matter how aloof the doctor or sick the patient, we still connect on a one-to-one basis. We shouldnt be surprised, therefore, to note that doctors are mortals who sometimes fall short on empathy when an illness doesnt make sense or a wound isnt obvious, when patients dont follow advice, display entitlement, or steadfastly maintain bad habits. In those cases, frustration rises and remaining empathetic is challenging, but as a young medical student, Ofri learned from an act of compassion that finding empathy is possible as well as essential. We shouldnt feel surprised to note
that medicine is like many professions, and certain clients are problem clients. As in many jobs, doctors use dark humor and derogatory terms to deal with personal discomfort, show solidarity, ease unpleasantness, or bring levity to the situation. And, as in every job, some topics are off-limits. Doctors fear harming their patients, missing something important, making mistakes. They become overwhelmed by neediness and illness, and by reams and reams of paperwork necessary in todays medical world. They can succumb to the kinds of maladies and addictions they see every day, they can be stubborn in their decisions, they momentarily forget things, and they surely experience burn-out. And yes, doctors do have favorite patients. And they cry when those patients die. With incredible insight, lyrical beauty, humor and consideration, author Danielle Ofri, MD gives readers the kind of comfort we need when faced with any sort of medical anything by revealing exquisite vulnerability in an esteemed profession. She successfully portrays the processes of diagnosis and treatment as more human than clinical, and thats likewise soothing. But not everybody will enjoy whats here. Medical personnel might be unhappy that Ofri exposes certain, darker bedside manners. Indeed, the section on medical slang is uncomfortable to read and yet, because that blunt truth follows with the spirit of this book, it belongs. Overall, I couldnt let go of this graceful, elegant, honest book and I think youll love it, too. If youre a doctor or if youre anyones patient, What Doctors Feel is a book to read stat.
