McKay Gets Key

Endorsement for Delegate
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
Del. John F. Wood, who is retiring this year and vacating his long
held Dist. 29A seat, told attendees at
a Breton Bay fundraiser Sunday that
he endorsed GOP candidate Thomas
F. McKay to succeed him in the post.
Theres no primary for me,
Wood, a Democrat said. So Im asking each and every one of you to give
me a chance to vote for Tommy McKay in November.
Wood said he received three different candidates who were seeking
an endorsement since he announced
his retirement and he had certain attributes in mind in making his selection.
I was looking for someone with
a business background, someone
whos had to deal with regulations.
Wood said to the guests.
McKay has been in the grocery business for decades and is the
President of the McKay family food
store enterprises; he is also a former
president of the county commissioner
board.
Another conservative Democrat,
former county commissioner Daniel
H. Raley, who was on the board with
McKay back in 2004, said McKay
had the experience to go to Annapolis
and effectively represent St. Marys
County.
I believe the situation we have
in Annapolis is not a good one, Raley said. If you own a business God
help you.
Weve got to have someone to
go to Annapolis and with conservative Democrats to get things done.
Tommy McKay can get things done.
Wood has served in the Annapolis legislature for nearly 30 years and

announced his retirement this year,

lamenting the changing political climate there.
Ive had the honor and privilege
to represent you for 28 years and each
year it seemed like it got harder and
harder.
Wood once held chairmanships
of a power economic matters subcommittee and regulatory oversight group
but his predilection to not vote along
increasingly left wing party lines cost
him.
Raley said that despite all of this
Wood voted his conscience.
He lost that chairmanship but he
still holds his head high, Raley said.

Matt Morgan
Received 70%
of Campaign
Contributions
From Outside
of St. Marys
Charles County Based

Realtor Group Gave $6,000
With the primary election only a few weeks away, the campaigns for Republican candidates looking to replace Delegate
Johnny Wood in District 29A each filed campaign finance reports
last week. District 29A is in St. Marys county starting at the St.
Marys County line in Charlotte Hall, extending south to Md. Rt.
245 in Hollywood and Leonardtown.
Reports show that Matt Morgan, who just recently moved into
St. Marys County from Charles County, received more than 70%
of his campaign funds from outside St. Marys County, most coming from Charles County as well as smaller amounts from Virginia and the Silver Spring area. Of Morgans $14,345 in contributions received since the last report, $11,590 came from outside St.
Marys.
Reports also show that a Political Action Committee representing realtors, based in Charles County, gave the maximum allowable contribution of $6,000. One of the primary issues recently
has been the ability for St. Marys County to control growth in the
northern sections of the county.
Morgan also reports additional contributions for in-kind
services of $3,969.94. The majority of these donations, $2,543.38
came from family members living in Charles County, with the majority of the balance coming from Morgans wife.
Should Morgan be the Republican nominee, reports indicate
a possible legal question concerning Morgans residency which
the state Democratic Party could potentially challenge. Official
campaign reports filed by Steve Waugh indicate that Matt Morgan
was still living in Charles County as late as February 6, 2014. A
candidate for delegate must live in the district for at least 6 months
to qualify. Based upon these official reports, Morgan would not
meet the residency requirements by filing deadline or by the primary voting date of June 24, 2014
Bryan Puff Barthelme, another candidate vying for the
same seat reported more than 40% of his campaign contributions
coming from outside St. Marys County. Of contributions totaling
$5,320 for the period, Barthelme received $2,195 from outside St.
Marys County.
Barthelme also reported $2,290 in ticket sales of which $2,225
came from one individual, Syd Moreland of Chaptico, Barthelmes
campaign treasurer. Barthelmes report also shows a contribution
of $250 from B.K. Millers, a company associated with the Maryland Senate President Mike Miller.
Thomas F. McKay, also vying for the Delegates seat in District 29A reported contributions of $4,325 almost all of which
came from within St. Marys County. McKay showed just two
contribution of $100 each totaling $200 coming from outside St.
Marys County with $4,225 coming from within the county.
Cardin Says BRAC

Round Unlikely
in the Near Future
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
Sen. Ben Cardin met Monday with members of
the Southern Maryland Navy Alliance to talk about
issues that affect the flow of work to Patuxent River
Naval Air Station concern about the possibility of
a base realignment and closure (BRAC) round in the
offing is always a key local concern but Cardin said
he did not believe there was one close at hand.
Theres not a desire to start a new BRAC round
on Capitol Hill, Cardin told The County Times Monday. We are not close to agreeing on the next BRAC
round.
Concern in the defense contractor community
and among elected officials has risen recently over
keeping St. Marys County as protected as possible
during a BRAC round, especially since Gov. Martin
OMalley vetoed a key piece of legislation last month
that would have delayed a large wind turbine project
on the Eastern Shore that many fear would hamper
radar testing operations.
If those tests were affected Patuxent River NAS
might hemorrhage jobs and funding to other sites better suited to do the work, political and industry observers say.
Still Cardin said he understood that there were
many locations along the eastern seaboard that were
carefully watching for a competitive edge in getting
the many missions that have brought jobs and prosperity here.
Weve done extremely well in BRAC rounds
and others are modeling us, Cardin told navy alliance
members. Its going to be extremely competitive.

We need to prepare 24/7 for the next BRAC
round.
But navy alliance members brought up another
problem that may threaten progress at Pax River and
that was pressure from high navy authorities to curtail what is known was the working capital fund.
This type of funding model used at the base essentially allows it to run like a business, said Tim
Smith, a contractor business owner and member of
the Southern Maryland Navy Alliance.
Smith said the program essentially allows Patuxent River NAS to fund its own day-to-day operations
for engineering and research by charging customers
fees for using its high technology facilities instead of
waiting for the Navy to give it a lump sum of money
year to year.
This allows it to be more flexible in knowing
what kind of projects the base can accommodate and
which ones it can bank, Smith said, for later slots
that open up there.
He said Tuesday that if the higher authorities in
the Navy were more comfortable with the funding
model currently in use it would allow for better business friendly climate there in years to come.
It was an issue as important as any potential
BRAC round, he said.
If we can take care of that we wont necessarily
be bullet proof but we will be bullet resistant, Smith
said.
Sen. Cardin, CSM Students

Discuss College Affordability
College of Southern Marylands students and alumna met with U.S. Sen. Ben Cardin on June 2 at the La Plata Campus to discuss
college affordability. From left are Deveraux Smith of Waldorf who graduated with an associates degree in social sciences in May
and is transferring to University of Maryland Baltimore County, Keri Williams of Waldorf who graduated from CSM in 2009 and
transferred to Howard University where she earned a bachelors degree in multi-media studies, Becky Sanford of Newburg who is
a current CSM student studying dental hygiene and Nick Nelson of Bryans Road, a criminal justice major using his GI Bill benefits
following his service in the U.S. Navy. The students, who are using Pell Grants, state grants, scholarships, military benefits and the
CSM payment plan to cover tuition and education expenses, told Cardin of their desire to graduate without large student loan debt.
Others involved in the roundtable included Sonia Wagner with SoMD CAN/College Access Network as well as representatives for

Staff Writer
Two local and established nursing
homes are opposing the application of a developer to build a third such facility in Callaway, citing a lack of need for additional bed
space and the past legal troubles of one of the
projects interested business partners.
The developer of the project, St. Marys
Long Term Care, LLC, is proposing a new
140-bed facility in response to a projected
192-bed need projected by the Maryland
Health Care Commission but both St. Marys
Nursing Center in Leonardtown and Chesapeake Shores in Lexington Park have filed
letters of opposition asking the commission
to deny the certificate of need.
They claim that both of their facilities
are only operating at between 81 to 89 percent of capacity, while Blue Heron Nursing
and Rehabilitation Center, the name of the
proposed new project, must show that the
occupancy in the county nursing facilities is
above 90 percent.
They also claim the new operation
would hinder their existing care facilities by
taking away potential clients and qualified
health care specialists.
The Blue Heron group, in a response
Proposed Nursing Home

Under Fire From Competitors
to their opponents claims to the health care
commission, said that just because the two
nursing homes were under capacity did not
mean there was not an increasing demand for
a new facility.
The interested parties comments reflect a simple but flawed refrain, the Blue
Heron response to the health care commission reads. That if the growing population
continues not to select their facilities for long
term care services, this can only mean there
is no unmet need at all.
The opponents have also pointed out
that the Blue Heron facility would be operated by a dual management team from companies Fundamental Administrative Services
LLC and Fundamental Clinical Operational
Services, which have the option to terminate
their contract to operate the facility after one
year.
After one year [Blue Heron] could be
in the hands of an inexperienced licensee/
operator and without the clinical programming or support on with the applicant relies
in an attempt to demonstrate the need [Blue
Heron] and its viability, the opposition letter
from Chesapeake Shores state.
The applicants retorted saying that simply because that option existed in the contract
did not mean it was a foregone conclusion.
The Chesapeake Shores complaint also

notes the connection between the two Fundamental limited liability companies and
Leonard Grunstein, a prominent real estate
attorney with interests in the Fundamental
Long Term Care Holdings, LLC company.
The applicant for the project stated in
their first filings that no principal of either
Fundamental Administration or Fundamental Clinical Operations had ever pleaded
guilty or been convicted of a crime that was
in any way connected with the ownership,
development or management of a health care
facility.
But court records show that Grunstein,
who according to commission filings is planning on divesting much of his interest in Fundamental Long Term Care, did plead guilty
in December of 2013 to a perjury charge in a
Manhattan, New York City case.
According to statements from District
Attorney Cyrus Vance that case involved
Grunsteins plan to leverage a buyout to acquire Mariner Health Services, Inc. back in
2004.
Manhattan authorities state that
Grunstein had a real estate investor who was
also one of his clients finance the deal; that
real estate investor secured an agreement that
would have allowed him to purchase virtu-
ally all of the newly formed company known

as SV Care resulting from that deal.
But when the investor wanted to exercise the option to buy, Manhattan authorities
stated, Grunstein refused, stating the investor had failed to fully fund the $100 million
loan he had promised.
During depositions in the resultant civil
suit, Grunstein testified in January of 2011
that he had told other attorneys working on
the deal that the $100 million loan had not
been funded but Grunstein later admitted
he had never told any attorneys that the loan
went unfunded.
The applicant said, in its responses to
opposition complaints, that they had fully
disclosed Grunsteins guilty plea and that
it specifically dealt with loans rather than a
health care facility.
This complaint is utterly lacking
in substance, the applicant said in their
response.
The current proposal is still making its
way through the approval process at the state
level and local land use and growth management staff say that they have no pre-application meetings or formal concept plans on file.

Mechanicsville SHERIFFS BLOTTER

Man Gets 19
Years Behind Bars
The following information is compiled directly
from publicly released police reports.
ASSAULT On May 2, Corporal Kirkner responded to the 21000 block of Great

Mills Road for a reported assault. A witness reported a male suspect hitting a
female with his fists. Corporal Kirkner identified the suspect as Joseph Kenneth
Morgan, 51, of no fixed address. Morgan was placed under arrest and transported to the St. Marys County Detention Center. He was charged with 2nd Degree
Assault.
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
A federal judge in U.S. District
Court has sentenced Ronald Davis Pope,
49, of Mechanicsville to 19 years in federal prison for surreptitiously surveilling
a 14-year-old boy for months last year in
an effort to record pornographic images.
According to Popes plea agreement
from February through May of last year
while living with the victims family he
used a watch with a hidden camera to
take images of the teen age boy while he
was taking a shower.
Pope would then transfer the images to his computer and cell phone; the
victim was unaware of the surveillance
the entire time, according to federal
authorities.
In May of last year federal and state
law officers seized Davis phone and

computer and found 18 videos of the victim in which most exposed the victims
private areas.
In the days after Popes arrest law
officers discovered that Pope had ordered other surveillance equipment and
had it sent to his address.
This included a weather clock with
a hidden camera. When law officers
seized the watch with the hidden camera
they found three videos of the victim and
a picture of Popes face.
Popes sentence will run concurrently with another case in St. Marys
County Circuit Court in which Pope has
agreed to plead guilty to sexual abuse of
a minor, according to federal authorities.

Martirano:
Law Prohibits
County Presence at
Salary Negotiations
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
The county government may not
have a representative from the Board of
County Commissioners at schools system employee salary negotiations as a
matter of law, said Schools Superintendent Michael J. Martirano in a letter.
As a matter of law, collective bargaining negotiations are only between
the public school employer (Board of
Education) and the exclusive employee
bargaining groups, Martirano wrote to
members of the commissioner board,
citing Maryland code governing those
negotiations. There is nothing in those
provisions of the law that provide for a
role for the county government in the
collective bargaining process despite
the fact that the county government approves and largely funds the Board of
Education budget.
But while the school board has
traditionally met with the employees
unions in closed session, which is authorized under the state open meetings
act, the school board also has the right to
open the negotiations up to public scrutiny, Martirano said in his letter.
Still, he said, most school systems
choose to legally meet behind closed
doors to hammer out employee agreements, that included eschewing any rep-
resentatives from the county commissioner board.

It would be a violation of the Board
of Educations obligation to negotiate in
good faith if it were to unilaterally allow
an outside party to attend a closed collective bargaining situation, Martirano
wrote in the reprint of a March 2012
missive. Indeed, the union might walk
out of a negotiation session where an uninvited guest appears.
The issue of bringing in a commissioner representative to school employee
agreement negotiations has come up recently in the wake of budget problems
at the board of education after it became
known that budgeting mistakes and rising health care costs contributed to a
$6.6 million deficit for the current fiscal
year.
Also school employees who perform services such as driving buses,
meal preparation and building maintenance complained to the Board of County Commissioners that they do not have
a living wage.
Commissioners expressed concern
that the school system might not have allocated employee salaries to meet their
needs despite increased county school
funding each year.

Renovation, Expansion of Spring

Ridge Middle School to Begin
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
Back on April 25 of last year a fire that began at an
outdoor air conditionting unit at Spring Ridge Middle
School in Lexington Park swept through nine class
rooms destroying learning space and student work.
Now, a little more than a year later, county commissioners, school system officials and students broke
ground on a renovation and expansion project that will
build on the repair work that brought the school back
on line.
The expansion will modernize much of the aging
school, including a new library and greater space to
house the science, technology, engineering and mathematics program (STEM) there.
Deputy Schools Superintendent Bradley Clements
said that the work that can now begin there will be a
capstone to an upgrading process to all of the countys
schools that began slowly and incrementally 20 years
ago at a cost of about $160 million.
With this project all of our secondary schools
will be modernized, Clements said at the outdoor
ceremony.
The Board of County Commissioners forward
funded $10 million last year to get the project moving
in anticipation of money from the state to take care of
the remainder of the overall $25 million project.
The project includes replacing the roof and the
elimination of the old open classroom format also
known as the pod system which many educational specialists have decried as not allowing teachers enough
control over one individual group of students who can
be distracted by another group nearby.
The new STEM addition, more than 5,000 square
feet in size, will bring those students inside the school
from relocatable classrooms.
Superintendant Michael Martirano praised the

county and state government and school system employees for bringing the school project along.
To hear that one of our schools was on fire was

Senior Receives
Outstanding Catholic
Youth Award
from Archdiocese of
Washington
Senior Meagan Schreyer of La Plata, has been chosen Outstanding Female Catholic Youth by the Archdiocese of Washington (ADW). This award is presented
to a high school senior for being a leader to young people within a Catholic Youth Organization (CYO). Meagan is a member of Sacred Heart Parish.
Meagan was presented with the award in May at
the Office of Youth Ministry Catholic Youth Organizations An-nual Awards Presentation Mass held at the
Franciscan Monastery in Washington, D.C.
I am mainly active in the youth group the Community Catholic Youth Ministry (CCYM), said Meagan. I started my youth work at home with my siblings,
and continued to do so out in my community because I
realized that to live my faith was to lead others to understand it.
At St. Marys Ryken, Meagan is a member of the
National Honor Society, the Tri-M Music Honor Society, a XBSS (Xaverian Brothers Sponsored School)
steward and a retreat leader. She plays the clarinet in the
schools concert band and, this year, was selected for the
Catholic University of America Honors Band.
In April, she traveled as a volunteer with the Order of Malta to Lourdes, France, for
a week-long pilgrimage. The volunteers served a group of 40-45 people with illnesses
(known as the Malades in French) who visited the grotto where the Virgin Mary appeared
to Bernadette in 1858, and bathed in the spring. The Catholic Church has officially recognized miraculous healings that have taken place at the grotto.
Last summer, Meagan worked for the summer program at St. Johns Parish in Hollywood, Maryland. It was an amazing experience because I was able to see just how hungry
children even four and
eight years old were for
their faith, she said.
Meagan said it
has been her work with
youth that has aided
me in discerning my

Sisters of St.Cecilia,
Nashville, Tennessee.

Honk When You See

Him Sign Waving
Career politicians are like Locusts. They come out of the woodwork once every two or four years, make all kinds of loud noises, and
destroy everything they touch. Then after they make certain everyone
remembers who they are, and how much they do, they disappear until
the next cycle.
We intend to change all that. Are you aware that almost for the
first time in history, in the last year or so, Republicans have become the
majority Party in St. Marys County? And we have a job to do. First
we scoured the area searching for individuals of sterling character to
represent all of us, and we are happy to introduce them to you as citizens
of this area, and you will be learning more about them. We are asking
for your help to change what is happening in Annapolis. There is a majority in the State House and General Assembly who are passing very
unhealthy and bizarre laws that will impact each and every one of us.
I would like to talk about Steve Waugh who is running for State
Senate to replace Roy Dyson. Steve is not running to make this a life
time position as so many who have served and are serving and serving
and serving as if they have become entitled to being re-elected with no
need to care about their constituents but only to perpetuate the party
they are a part of and a lifeline for themselves.
Steve Waugh is a retired Marine Lt. Colonel. This is the second
time he has run for this position, and just like a Marine, he never gives
up. He is committed to lowering taxes and reining in spending that will
help to recreate the job markets so desperately needed. With the passage of the Marijuana bill by Martin OMalley he will pursue the drug
suppliers. He supports bringing Prayer back in our schools and will
work to accomplish that. The travesty of what our Federal Government
seems so cavalier about, Steve is very concerned about what is happening to our Service Men and Women and how they are being treated as
Veterans, who have given their all to protect you and me, and he will be
attending to this.
He is in favor of the Dominion Cove Point operation which will
be an addition to the original plant and bring much new business to
both Calvert and St. Marys Counties in spite of the environmentalists,
who see disaster everywhere they look. There will be a fight regarding
the ridiculous idea of six hundred foot windmills made in China in our
Beautiful Chesapeake Bay that will pose major problems for Pax River
and the testing of their crucial radar systems and Steve will be working on that. The idiocy of creating open bathrooms where young boys
and girls and men and women can opt to use these facilities together,
is a big problem with Steve and the first phase of Petitions will soon be
complete and hopefully will be successful and be on our voting ballot as
a Referendum to rescind that law. Then, there is the Rain Tax, that has
got to go. Steve has his work cut out for him, and he is asking for your
support and your vote in the Primary on June 24th. You wont be sorry.

May was National Drug Court month. We are

fortunate in St. Marys County to have two effective programs, one for juveniles and one for adults.
This year the juvenile program is celebrating its 10th
anniversary. Reflective of the programs success,
program graduate Anneliese Stein, was the first juvenile drug court graduate from the state of Maryland to ever be interviewed and selected to speak at
the National Association of Drug Court Professionals Annual Conference in Anaheim, Ca. May 28th31st. This year was extra special as the NADCP was
celebrating the 25th anniversary of drug courts. Ms.
Stein, along with her mother were one of just five
graduates nationwide, and the only juvenile drug
court graduate to be so honored. Anneliese took the
stage in Anaheim before several thousand conference
attendees and shared her drug court experience and
how it helped turn her life around from one of despair to one of hope. She was poised ,elegant and
passionate in her remarks. We all can be proud at her
personal accomplishments as she continues to move
forward in her life. As a community, was can also be
proud of the fact that we have dedicated Judges who
are willing to contribute their time to these programs.
There are over 2,800 drug courts in America.

Drug Courts are the most cost effective means to reduce drug abuse and recidivism within the high risk
high needs population which finds its way into the
criminal justice system. Neither treatment nor supervision alone has been able to demonstrate the results
that drug courts continually do. The research is quite
clear that treatment and supervision, under the umbrella of the court, combined with the team approach
of drug court, offers the best hope for these offenders. In St. Marys, The Honorable Karen H. Abrams
oversees the Adult Program and the Honorable Michael Stamm the Juvenile Program. St. Marys drug
courts are recognized statewide and now because of
Anneliese, we have been recognized nationally. She
is but one of many success stories that have resulted
from both programs. The community of St. Marys
who have supported these programs, including individuals, agencies, commissioners or private business;
you are to be applauded as you are instrumental in
the success of drug court.

Open Letter to the

County Commissioners
I am a teacher at Great Mills High School. I love
my job and I am proud that I teach at Great Mills.
Our faculty and staff are hard-working, dedicated
individuals and our students make coming to work
every day a wonderful experience. Unfortunately,
the students have become the only reason that I continue to come to work. Teaching has become more
of a chore than a joy. Budget cuts have made my job
so much more difficult and I feel that my efforts are
not appreciated. You, the County Commissioners,
have made me feel that way. Our county is one of the
highest performing counties and yet one of the least
funded. Why isn't education one of your priorities?
I teach Child Development. I am responsible for
beginning to train future parents and teachers. We
need new text books to stay industry current but there
is no money. We need supplies that I end up buy-
ing with my own money. I have already purchased

copier paper, glue, scissors, markers and food stuffs
for children's nutrition labs out of my own pocket.
Do you buy the tools you need for your job out of
your own pocket? My guess is no, you don't. Why
are teachers expected to fund their own projects? In
fact, the more varied and hands-on projects are, the
more teachers need to spend.
Please, for the sake of the students, consider increasing funding for schools. You may save money
now but the real cost will be paid by the students as
they try to enter the work force of the future armed
with only a budget education.

Letters to the
First Annual Veterans Stand Down

On May 16, our community joined together toward a
common cause, galvanized by the Executive Director and
Board of Directors for Three Oaks Center. They were energized by a cadre of passionate, hard-working community volunteers who poured their hearts and souls into an epic event
that hosted over 200 regional Veterans, potentially changing
the world for 139 of whom are either at risk for or already
homeless. At the end of the day, one post-Vietnam Veteran
bravely stood with tears in his eyes to express his gratitude
for what had never been offered in St. Marys County. First
Annual Veterans Stand Down a Huge Success. That is a
headline that would have been well worth the read.
The resounding success of the Stand Down was the culmination of hard work and determination of a few citizens
who dedicated 15 months in preparation for an event to pay
tribute to those who are willing to pay the ultimate sacrifice
in service to our country. Over 50 vendors united to provide
a wide variety of services that included (but were not limited to) housing, legal, medical, vision and hearing screening,
behavioral health, substance abuse, dental, employment and
job training information, resume writing, and benefit counseling. The enormity of this success cannot be overstated.
Not only did it bring services to our Veterans, it also brought
vendors together for networking to facilitate improved future
coordination of available community resources.
From the national perspective, our military has a high
level of education, capability and dedication among an all volunteer force. We have been engaged in two long-term wars
without force-level increases in years. The same people are
sent to combat over and over thereby increasing their chances of returning as changed people. After nearly 13 years at
war, a retiree in 2014 with 20 years of service has spent over
half a career during wartime. Service members are surviving more than 90% of injuries that in previous wars would
have resulted in death. One in five combat exposed Service
members has sustained a traumatic brain injury (TBI). The
incidence of Post Traumatic Stress (PTS) and/or depression
among post-9/11 Veterans is at 25% (compared to 3.9% of
the general population) with up to 45% having problems with
alcohol and prescription drug abuse. Half of the post-9/11

Veterans presenting for primary care within the VA report
symptoms of possible behavioral health problems including
PTS, TBI, depression, suicidal ideation and drug and alcohol
dependence. Since 2010, suicide is second to combat injuries
as the leading cause of death among our military and Veterans. In fact, there are 22 suicides per day only 5 of whom
are enrolled in VA health care. Of the 30% returning from
theaters of operation who screen positive (answer honestly)
for post-traumatic stress, 80% acknowledge a problem, 40%
state they want help, 30% receive help from any professional,
and only 20% actually see a mental health specialist. Civilian PTS sufferers wait an average of 12 years to seek help,
and for most rural residents, the first-responder in a mental
health crisis is a law enforcement officer. Barriers to seeking appropriate care include mental health stigma, distrust of
mental health professionals, fear of loss of confidence by an
employer, time constraints, transportation, and an untrained
civilian health care sector regarding identification of Veterans and medical conditions specific to this population. Military-to-civilian transition is difficult under any circumstance
for those without any underlying medical condition let alone
those who are suffering the invisible wounds of war who are
too proud to speak up for themselves.
Although the unemployment rate for post-9/11 Veterans
is down to 10% from a high of 13.1% in 2011, it remains high
compared to 7.2% for the same age counterpart. Veterans
make up about 7% of the general population yet account for
12% of the homeless. Results of the 2014 Southern Maryland
Point In Time survey reveal a significant increase in Veteran
homelessness relative to 2013 with nearly half of the regional
homeless Veterans living in St. Marys County. In fact, 23 of
the 35 unsheltered regional Veterans live in our county.
The overall Veteran population in Maryland has declined from a high of 465,727 in 2011 to 435,657 in 2014. To
put it in perspective, this decline is equivalent to two thirds
of the total Southern Maryland Veteran population. However, five counties have increased their Veteran population
since 2011 with St. Marys County leading the pack at over
1600 new Veterans. Furthermore, 16% of the over 41,000

Veterans living in Southern Maryland are post-9/11. Based
upon the previously cited national incidence of mental health
conditions, it can be speculated that of the post-9/11 Veterans
living in Southern Maryland, 929 are at risk for PTS, 619 are
at risk for TBI, yet only 185 may actually see a mental health
specialist.
Research shows that untreated PTSD and mild to moderate TBI among Veterans returning to rural areas with
limited health care access leads to self medication, unemployment, disintegrated families, violence, homelessness,
incarceration, and suicide. Successful reintegration of our
post-9/11 Veterans in St. Marys County is paramount. DoD
and VA are already too overwhelmed with hundreds of legislative provisions, policies, programs and services, and given
the current VA scandal, the situation is likely to get worse
before it gets better, especially with anticipated troop drawdown and pending surge of individuals for VA services. Active community engagement and coordination of available
local services is essential.
Given these facts, the limited media coverage of the recent Veterans Stand Down was disappointing. What little
that was publicized supported an individual political agenda and promoted a dental program designed to support the
indigent. No coverage of the event focused on the targeted
Veteran population. In addition, although St. Marys County
has the highest Veteran population growth in the state, no St.
Marys County Veteran received the spotlight in any regional
media coverage throughout the week of Armed Forces Day
and Memorial Day activities. This was a missed opportunity
to capitalize on our collective strength as a community and to
recruit additional volunteers in support of a common cause.

Letter of Endorsement
for Candidate
Deb Rey, Delegate 29B
Dear. St. Marys County Voters:
As a life-long Republican and resident of St. Marys County, I am proud
to endorse Deb Rey, Republican Candidate for Delegate, District 29B.
Deb Rey has actively supported the St. Marys County and Maryland
Republicans; and has worked diligently on many campaigns for Republican candidates, including Delegate Tony ODonnell, our St. Marys County
Commissioners, and other State leaders. She simultaneously serves as President of both the Republican Women of St. Marys and the St. Marys Republican Clubs. Deb also participates in vital, nonpolitical/nonpartisan community events, such as the Juneteenth celebration and annual Relay for Life
of St. Marys County.
Debs background and leadership make her a natural fit to represent
District 29B. She is a retired U.S. Air Force Major, who along with her
husband and two children has chosen St. Marys County to be her home.
Deb has made it her mission to meet and get to know the people who live
around her and in her district, giving her a deep perspective of the views of
the citizens that she wants to represent. She possesses an awareness of both
the long-term and short-term needs of her district.
On 16 May, at the Annual St. Marys County Republican Lincoln Reagan Dinner, Deb was presented the Irish-Thompson Republican Woman of
the Year Award for 2013. She received this recognition because of her commitment to the County and its residents.
Deb Rey is a caring, community-oriented individual whose dedication
to the betterment of the County and desire to work for and with the people
make her an ideal candidate and delegate. If elected, Deb will fight to repeal the Rain, Septic, and Gas Taxes. In Annapolis, she will be a relentless
advocate of her constituents and not a victim to special interest groups.
I encourage St. Marys County voters in District 29B to consider a fresh
alternative for fixing old problems.

Sizzling Contemporary Romance
By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
More than 40 authors from all over Maryland,
and surrounding states, descended on the Calvert
Library Prince Frederick branch for the 2014 Book
Festival of Local Authors on May 31.
We have some talented people in our community and surrounding area. And we have lots more
that have great stories they should be telling. This
event gives published authors a chance to be showcased and gives aspiring authors a chance to learn
from those who have been through the process. And
gosh, its just a fun day out for anyone who enjoys
a good book, said Public Relations Coordinator
Robyn Truslow.
The keynote speaker at the event was Rick
Campbell, author of the Trident Deception, which
has been hailed by Booklist as [t]he best submarine
novel since Tom Clancys The Hunt for Red October. He is always looking for opportunities to get
into the community so he can meet people and tell
them about his books, he said.
Campbell gave a presentation entitled A Dark
Story with a Happy Ending during the author
festival.
Additional activities during the day included a
self-publishing panel, readings by various authors, a
presentation on The World of eBooks and a panel
about writing multiple books, entitled Writing a
Series: Mysteries, Myths and Magic, moderated by
Port Republic based romance author Mary Blayney.
Blayney, an acclaimed romance writer who
has been published as an independent author and in
anthologies with J.D. Robb and other authors, said
events like the author festival are an opportunity for
writers to meet their fans and promote their works
and works of others.
Its all about exposure, said Richard Due, a
Huntingtown-based author and owner of Second
Looks Books in Prince Frederick.
Some authors not only live in the area, but they
write about the area. Eileen Slovack is a Chesapeake
Beach based romance writer whose first book was
about a woman from North Beach. J.C. Sharp, author
of The Barns of Southern Maryland spent months
traveling around Southern Maryland, taking pictures
and talking to people, finding there are considerable
differences between Charles, St. Marys, and Calvert
counties. Each county has its own flavor and Sharp
thoroughly enjoyed the chance to learn more about
them, he said.
Theyre all salt of the earth.
Some authors came from outside Southern
Maryland. For paranormal romance author Mary
Behre, the trip to Prince Frederick from Virginia was
a homecoming. She grew up in the area and gradu-

A Literary Afternoon
ated from Calvert High School in 1990. Growing up,
she said she never knew that Blayney lived in Port Republic, or about the numerous authors living all over
Southern Maryland, but she would have wanted to.
People get excited when they know someone
who wrote a book, Behre said.
St. Marys County based Julia Maki, a childrens author, said she meets the best people at events
like the author festival. Children especially are inspired when they meet local authors.
They think, if my neighbor is an author, maybe I can be too, she said.
Her books are aimed at children with family
members in the military, and she enjoys meeting
children who have read her books. Maki looks forward to coming back for the next author festival in
Prince Frederick, she said.
The author festival is a semi-annual event, happening every three or four years.
This gives our local authors, who often have
other jobs besides writing, time to get another book
or two out, Truslow said.

She started talking to authors last fall and sent
out registration information at the end of March. She
asked authors for presentation ideas and chose the
best ones. Mid-April was when things began ramping up, Truslow said. Library staff helped make a
large display for the author festival. A number of library volunteers came in before and on the day of the
festival for additional support.
Based on community feedback, the library will
probably do a November event next time, Truslow
said.
That way attendees can be thinking about autographed books as good Christmas presents, she
said.
The author festival is only one of hundreds of
events going on at the library. There is something
happening almost daily. For more information, visit

NO MATTER WHO YOU ASK, OUR COVE POINT PROJECT

IS A GREAT SOLUTION FOR SOUTHERN MARYLAND.
Going forward, we will promote fuel-switching from coal to gas for electricity production
and encourage the development of a global market for gas.
President Barack Obama
The export of LNG can help
drive additional U.S. natural gas

production and support hundreds
of thousands of additional U.S. jobs
in engineering, manufacturing,
construction, and operation of the
export infrastructure.
David Mallino, Jr.,
Laborers International
Union of North America
All of this underscores that
President Obama can serve U.S.

strategic and economic interests
by immediately approving every
request to build a liquefied
natural gas export terminal.
The Wall Street Journal
LNG exports will foster U.S. job
creation, new tax revenues, and

stronger international alliances.
At issue is the freedom to export.
Several years from now a portion of a
gas or electric bill being paid by a

customer in Japan or Europe could
find its way into the paycheck of a
worker right here in the United States.
Bipartisan letter to
U.S. Secretary of Energy Steven Chu,
cosigned by 21 members of Congress
Restricting international trade in fossil
fuels is not an effective policy to reduce

global greenhouse gas emissions or to
advance domestic economic interests,
and we recommend against any
such restrictions.
Bipartisan Policy Center
The Energy Department was right to
approve Cove Point, and it would be right

to okay other projects like it in the future.
The Washington Post
John Murphy,
Vice President for International Affairs,
U.S. Chamber of Commerce
Dominions proposal to add export capability to its Cove Point LNG Terminal has received strong support nationwide from
respected business leadersand both sides of the political aisle. Thats because it will bring 3,000 construction jobs, 75 highpaying permanent positions, and tens of millions of dollars in new annual revenue for Southern Maryland. As Dominion continues
a 40-year commitment to Calvert County and the Chesapeake Bay, we look forward to keeping the conversation going.

CSM Mens
Cross-Country
Program
Debuts
this Fall
The College of Southern Maryland welcomes
the addition of mens cross-country as a new athletic program beginning this fall. The sport was added
to include men in the cross-country program, which
began fall 2013 for women.
When we began womens cross-country, I had
many inquiries from male students about starting a
team, said Christopher Tuttle, head coach for womens and mens cross country.
Cross-country is a great addition for us at
CSM because it helps instill a high work ethic in our
student athletes, explained Tuttle. Having been a
competitive runner myself, I know the discipline it
takes to be a collegiate runner carries over into the
classroom.
In addition to Coach Tuttle, Josh Trice will
serve as the assistant coach. Along with regular
meets, CSMs cross-country program also competes in Division I of the National Junior College
Athletic Association (NJCAA).
The program is open to students of all interest
levels enrolled in at least 12 credits. There is a study
hall required throughout the season. Workouts officially begin on Aug. 1.
Tuttle believes in a philosophy to train smarter, not harder. He feels that runners should have
an individual program, because everyone responds
differently to training and the stresses on the body
that come with it.
For more information on mens cross country,
contact Tuttle at ctuttle@csmd.edu or Athletic Coordinator Nick Williams at NWilliams1@csmd.edu.

Maryland Clay Dirt
A Night to Remember for Megan Mann

By Doug Watson
Contributing Writer
It would be an understatement to say that racing is
in the blood of Chapticos Megan Mann. Megans father
Roland was the 2005 Potomac Speedway Limited Late
Model track champion, her mother Lisa was the head
scorer at Potomac for almost too many seasons to count
and her Grandfather Pete Cameron was the 1984 Dorsey
(MD) speedway Late Model champion before becoming
a former Potomac Speedway promoter and now a well
respected Late Model car-owner in the Mid-Atlantic region. So needless to say, the apple hasnt fallen far from
the family tree.
Megan, just 16-years young, joined the entry-level
Potomac U-Car class in 2013 and even though she did
not win a feature, gained valuable experience that would
carry-over to the 2014 campaign. Armed with the same
equipment that propelled her to a top-five finish in the
season long standings, Megan was ready for more than
just good finishes in her sophomore campaign with the
U-Cars, but to join the elite club of Potomac speedway
feature winners. Her opportunity came two weeks prior
to last Fridays show as she lead the divisions feature
for 14 of the scheduled 15-laps, only to be robbed of the
probable win by mechanical woes that forced her car to
quit on the white-flag lap. Mann and family would regroup and get her car back on track the following event
where she would finish 11th out of a strong field of 25cars. Last Friday nights event would truly be a night to
remember. A second place finish in her heat race earned
Mann the third starting spot for the divisions 15-lap
main. Mann flexed her muscle early as she overtook
2013 champion, and fellow lady racer, Erica Bailey on
the fifth lap of the feature and ran-off from the rest of
the field to score her elusive first-ever Potomac feature
win. The obviously excited high-schooler was nearly at
a loss for words. This is great!! Mann stated in front
of a throng of well-wishers. Weve waited a long time
to get this one and I cant thank my mom, dad and all
my friends enough for all their support. Megans mother Lisa, was beyond excited, as the tears of joy flowed
down her cheeks. My baby just won!, I cant believe it.
I wish her grandfather were here to see this, hed be so
proud right now. In all the countless feature races Ive

witnessed at Potomac in my near three decades of working there, The Cameron/Mann families have been a big
part of my life and to share this moment with them is
something Ill truly never forget.
NotesMegan Manns break-through U-Car win made her
the divisions sixth different winner in seven races contested this season...Defending Street Stock champion
Darren Alveys potent no.30 is for sale. Rumor has it he
plans to get, or may already have, a Late Model car but
whether the new machine will carry a Crate Motor or
a 358 power plant remains to be seen...Thirty-two time
career Late Model winner Les Hare was back at Potomac
racing with the LLM class on Friday with a car owned by
Jim Bowen where they finished fourth in the teams debut. The Bowen/Hare duo were quite a formidable team
at Potomac back in the late 90s and early 2000s as they
racked-up many LM feature wins together...Versatile
Ben Bowie took a solid fifth in the 20-lap LLM headliner on Friday wheeling Marty Hanburys MasterSbilt
no.M1...Brandon Long, the second place LLM point man
entering Fridays show, wounded his MasterSbilt no.19L
early in the divisions feature and would be the first car to
retire from the event...After coming from 12th to finish
second to race winner Derrick Quade, Kyle Lear towed
his Rocket no.151 to Winchester (VA) for Saturdays event
where he would finish second, again, to first-time Winchester LLM feature winner Scott Palmer...LLM winner
Derrick Quades win on Friday was his overall 17th career feature win at Potomac between the LLMs and the
Street Stocks...After a two win weekend at Winchester
and Potomac over the Memorial day holliday, Kurt Zimmerman struck again with the traveling All American
Outlaws as he took his first-career win on Saturday at
Pa.s Port Royal speedway...In just his second event ever
at Potomac, U-Car class rookie Jamie Marks, posted his
first-career top-five with a strong fifth in the divisions
15-lap event...In all, 14 Limited Late Models, 17 Hobby
Stocks, 11 U-cars, 5 Street Stocks and 12 Strictly Stocks
took part in the Potomac program that was completed a
few ticks before 11 p.m.

Quade Scores
Season - First
Friday at Potomac
Deason Repeats in Hobby Stocks

By Doug Watson
Contributing Writer
Mechanicsvilles Derrick Quade
drove to his first win of the season in
last Friday nights 20-lap Limited Late
Model headliner at Potomac speedway.
The win for Quade, the 2007 division
champion, was his 9th career Limited
Late Model feature win at Potomac.
After three attempts to get the event
under way, the field went single file with
Tyler Emory on the point with Derrick
Quade in tow. Emory shot into the race
lead and appeared as he woulf score his
first of the season as he lead until lapnine. From lap-ten on, Emory and Quade
swapped the top-spot before Quade took
the lead for good on lap-eighteen and
would then hold-off 12th-starting Kyle
Lear to preserve the popular win. That
was some hard racing out there tonight.
Quade stated from Potomacs victory
lane. This track has been awesome
this year so far, almost too fast, theres
plenty of traction in this surface. Quade
was quick to praise those who propelled
him to his first checker of the season.
Weve been working hard on this car
and without Wayne, Joe, Melanie and
the rest of the crew we wouldnt be here
right now. They make all this happen.
Tyler Emory held tough for third, Les
Hare took fourth with Ben Bowie rounding out the top-five. Heats went to Bowie
and Emory.
Current points leader Jerry Deason
drove to his second feature triumph of
the season in the 15-lap Hobby Stock
main. Deason, who started second,
zipped into the race lead on lap one and
despite the repeated challenges from
eventual runner-up Jamie Sutphin came
home with the win. Ed Pope Jr. was
third, Ryan Clement was fourth with
Billy Crouse completing the top-five.
Heats went to Pope and Jonathan Raley.
Mike Latham rolled to his fourth
win of 2014, and his career 34th, in the
16-lap Street Stock feature. Latham
lined-up second for the start and would
hold off a pesky Darren Alvey over the
final six-laps to post the win. Troy Kassiris was third, Chuck Bowie was fourth
with Dale Reamy taking fifth.
Megan Mann drove the race of her
young career to score her first-career Potomac feature win in the 15-lap U-Car
feature. Mann snared the race lead from
defending track champion Erica Bailey

on lap-five and would take the checkers by a wide margin to post the breakthrough win. Bailey held on for second,
DJ Powell was third, Cori French took
fourth with Jamie Marks rounding out
the top-five.
Ed Pope Sr. continued his winning
ways as he took win number three for
the season in the nightcap 15-lap Strictly
Stock feature. Pope, who started 12th,
took the top-spot from Greg Mattingly
on lap-nine and would lead the distance
to collect his division-leading 12thcareer Potomac feature win. JJ Silvious
rallied late to take second, Mattingly fell
back to third, Jimmy Suite was fourth
with newcomer Shawn Smith completing the top-five.

The College of Southern Maryland golf team of, from left, Nicholas Jerome of Mechanicsville, George Bowie of Port Tobacco, Jonathan Parsons of
Mechanicsville, Cody Jameson of Leonardtown and Garrett Tucker of Huntingtown competed in the Division 2 National Championship at Swan Lake Resort
in Plymouth, Indiana, May 20-23. Coached by Ned Spearbeck, right, in his
third season, CSMs golf team ranked third in All-MDJUCO Tournament and
captured the Region XX Championship. George Bowie of Port Tobacco and
Stephen Tucker of Huntingtown were named All-MDJUCO First Team. Cody
Jameson of Leonardtown was named All-MDJUCO Second Team. Being able
to have the team experience at the national tournament is a huge success for
the college and the program. The inclement weather we had early in the season made it difficult to get out on the greens. Having the ability to persevere
through that situation and attain a tournament berth, shows the talent and maturity of our student-athletes, said CSM Athletics Coordinator Nick Williams.

PET OF THE WEEK

Hi There
Our names are Beth,
Carl and Judith. We also
have a foster sister named
Maggie.
Can you tell our foster mom named us after
characters on the show the
Walking Dead?
We are characters on the show who are still alive.
Thank goodness. We are alive because our foster mom
pulled us from the shelter when we were 3 weeks old.
The shelter cannot hold young kittens long enough for us
to become old enough to be adopted during the Spring
kitten season. That means we could have been euthanized. The shelter euthanized an average of 300 cats a
month in 2013 because not enough people are spaying
and neutering their cats. I hope this changes. Our foster
mom went there to pull two other kittens and since she
is a sucker for a black and white cat she pulled us also.
We were so lucky. We run around her house during the
day but at night we go in our own room to sleep. When
she opens the door in the morning to greet us, we get
so excited. We run over to meet her and crawl all over
her. We love to romp and play together and to play with
all our toys. We will be fully vetted and cost $125 each
or two for $200. We are hoping to go in pairs. We will
probably start going to the Petco in California around
the middle or the end of June to be adopted. Adoption
events are every Saturday and Sunday from 11 to 3:30.
If you would like to meet us before then and possibly
reserve us for adoption, please fill out an application at
www.feralcatrescuemd.org and email it to moonandhunt@Hotmail.com

Walter Daniel Hammett

By Linda Reno
Contributing Writer
Walter Daniel Hammett, son of Daniel Hammett and Clarissa
Hewitt, was born May 14, 1875. On February 3, 1897 he married
Mary Lucretia Wise, daughter of Levi Joshua Watts Wise and Regina
Camper. You may or may not recall, but some time ago I wrote about
Levi Joshua Watts Wise who in 1894 was sentenced to the penitentiary for four years but made his escape from the St. Marys County
jail leaving behind his will, a lengthy poem and was never heard from
again.
In Fear Of Lynchers. W. D. Hammett Brought From St. Marys County For SafeKeeping. After a drive of 32 miles over rough roads Deputy Sheriff William C. Mattingly arrived in Baltimore yesterday morning with Walter D. Hammett, 27 years old, of
St. Marys County, who is charged with assaulting Ethel N. Jarboe, the daughter of Mr.
Joseph Jarboe, of California, Eighth district, St. Marys County. Hammett was brought
to Baltimore because the authorities feared lynching, and was taken to the city jail and
locked up for safe-keeping pending the action of the St. Marys County authorities.
Hammett was arrested last week and taken to the jail at Leonardtown. On Friday
afternoon the Leonardtown authorities received reliable information that the residents
in the vicinity where the assault is alleged to have taken place were gathering to hang the
prisoner. Magistrate Joseph F. Morgan, of Leonardtown, held a consultation with States
Attorney Camalier and it was decided to send Hammett to Baltimore for safe-keeping.
The Deputy Sheriff drove the prisoner Friday night to Coxs Station, Charles County, where they took a train on the Popes Creek Branch of the Baltimore and Potomac
A Journey Through Time

The
Chronicle
railroad, arriving in Baltimore

at 8:45. The train was stopped at
Madison street, just opposite the
jail, and the Deputy Sheriff delivered his prisoner to Warden
Doyle.The prisoner denies the
charge, but refused to be interviewed by any one. He is married
and lives in the First district of St.
Marys County. (Baltimore Sun,
August 10, 1902).
In September 1902 the case
against Hammett for felonious assault went to trial but the jury was deadlocked. I dont know the outcome of the case
the only thing I do know is that Walter was living in Richmond, Virginia in 1910 and
had moved to Los Angeles, California by 1915 where he lived until his death on July 17,
1945. Hes buried in the Angelus Rosedale Cemetery.
Mary Lucretia (Wise) Hammett moved to Philadelphia where she died February
10, 1909. Her remains were brought back to St. Marys County and shes buried at St.
Andrews Church. On every census from 1910 to 1940, Walter was listed as a widower,
always living in a boarding house, so I dont believe he ever remarried.
Ethel Martina Jarboe, born September 9, 1888, the only child of William Joseph
Jarboe by his first wife Henrietta Wilvonia Josephine Wible (died 1888) married George
Peter Harrigan on August 5, 1904 in Washington, D.C. Ethel died in Houston, TX on
February 17, 1970.

Carriers
Cool Invention
Few things provide such sweet relief on

a hot day as stepping into an air conditioned
building. It is easy to forget about the steamy
conditions outdoors when cold air is reigning indoors, and the world has Willis Carrier, an American inventor, to thank for air
conditioning.
Without Carrier's invention, many
indoor spaces would be a lot less comfortable come the summertime. Movie theaters,
trains, buses, homes, and offices would be
filled with fans ineffectively moving hot air
around. But air conditioning revolutionized
residential and commercial comfort.
Carrier was born on October 20, 1876
in Angola, N.Y. His parents were farmers,
but Willis had other ideas. He studied at
Cornell University and graduated in 1901
with a bachelor's degree in Engineering.
As an engineer, he began his career working for a heating company. In 1902, Carrier
was tasked with decreasing the humidity at
Sackett-Wilhelms Lithographing & Publishing Company of Brooklyn, a printing
shop where the intense heat was wreaking
havoc on printing inks, causing them to run.
He created a machine that would pass air
through a filter, then over coils containing a
coolant, and then blow the cooled air back
into the space. Carrier's invention was recognized as the world's first modern air conditioning system, and the same basic design
he began devising in 1902 is still used in air
conditioners today.
After several years of tweaking his design and testing it in the field, Carrier was
granted a United States patent in 1906 for his
invention, which was called an "Apparatus
for Treating Air." Carrier continued to fine
tune the air conditioning system and filed a
subsequent patent for dew-point depression
and other humidity-related findings.
Carrier had been employed by the Buffalo Forge Company for 12 years, but in
1915 he and six other engineers pooled their
resources to begin the Carrier Engineering
Corporation. The business was relatively
successful until the stock market crash of
1929, when the company then merged with
two other companies to form the Carrier
Corporation. The business was consolidated
and centered in Syracuse, eventually becoming one of the largest employers in central
New York.
Air conditioners were initially only
used by larger businesses, but after World
War II, when the United States was in the
midst of an economic boom, air conditioners
began to grow in popularity, eventually finding their way into private American homes.
Today the Carrier Corporation remains
a world leader in residential and commercial
refrigeration, competing with companies
that would not have been possible without
Willis Carrier's innovation.

the many highlights of the event is the Luminaria service held at nightfall to honor cancer
survivors and caregivers and to remember
those lost to cancer. The American Cancer
Societys Relay For Life reminds us that
those lost to cancer will never be forgotten
and that those who face cancer will always
be supported. More than anything it makes
us hopeful that one day, cancer will be eliminated for good. This event is therapy for the
mind, spirit and the heart. Since 1985, Relay For Life has spread to more than 5,200
communities in the U.S. and has become a
worldwide movement, taking place in more
than 25 countries. Hundreds of participants
will come together on June 7th in St. Marys
County to honor cancer survivors, their caregivers and pay tribute to those for whom the
cure did not come soon enough. The American Cancer Societys Relay For Life event
ignites team spirit among participants and
works to raise funds used to save lives and
create more birthdays by helping you stay
well, by finding cures, and by fighting back.

Risking Everything For Freedom

By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
During the war of 1812, more than 750
slaves escaped from Maryland. The largest number departed from Calvert County,
according to an article by Maya Davis in
the 2013 edition of The Calvert Historian,
presented by the Calvert County Historical Society. The largest number escaped
in 1814, following an April 2 proclamation
issued by British Admiral Alexander Cochrane, promising emancipation to any
slave willing to enter into British military
service against the United States of wanting
to resettle in a British territory, according
to Daviss article.
Escaped slaves were taken to Tangier
Island and later resettled in Nova Scotia and
Trinidad. Slaves who chose to join the British military were later seen guiding British
soldiers, helping loot and burn a number of

towns in Maryland, in addition to helping
more slaves escape, according to Daviss
article.
Learn more about the risks slaves took
for emancipation in the presentation of The
Choice Risking Your Life For Freedom at
Sotterley Plantation this weekend.
According to a press release, at this
living history presentation you will meet the
people who lived and labored at Sotterley
during the summer of 1814. Join us and be
a part of the drama as Sotterleys enslaved
must make a difficult and daring choice.
This Living History event was written by Dale Jones of Making History Connections with costuming designed by Leon
Wiebers of Loyola Marymount University.
This event and its current production has
been made possible by the generosity of the
Maryland Humanities Council, Maryland
Heritage Areas Authority, Southern Maryland Heritage Area Consortium, and The
Star Spangled 200, according to www.sotterleyplantation.com.

Living
with History
By Shelby Oppermann
Contributing Writer
I am always amazed at how much history we

have surrounding us in St. Marys County. Sometimes
I forget when I walk in our church (Christ Episcopal
Church in Chaptico) every Sunday how much history
it has seen. There were times in the history of Christ
Church that it fell into disrepair, times it was closed,
and times it survived war, and desecration. Some Sundays, as I sit in the choir loft (what we refer to as being
closer to God), I stare at the high, beautifully plastered vaulted ceiling, the tall creamy white columns,
and wonder how did men build this in 1735-36? And I
wonder about the storms, now earthquakes, and Dahlgren vibrations it has withstood in its 278 years. Some
days, I picture the women in their hoop dresses, the
men in Sunday satin vests, sweltering and maybe trying to stay awake in the summer heat. It brings to mind
a passage I read about Bruton Parish in Williamsburg,
where a man sat in a pew and wrote about watching the
lice crawl in and around a highly respected womans
piled up hair. It gives me the shudders thinking about
it but it was probably a way of life.
There are times I walk through the cemetery
reading the tombstones wondering about the earlier
churchgoers lives, especially Clares Chair which I
wrote about a few years ago. Clare Thomas was an
18 year old girl who died in 1883 from what I learned
through research at Tudor Hall was female complications. Clares gravesite is has a headstone, an end
stone with a beautiful urn, and the sides are bordered
with small concrete bricks, and in the middle sits a
black, wrought iron chair. Who sat there? Her Mother
maybe, wishing to stay near her daughter, or maybe
it was Clares favorite chair. I always wonder when I
walk by her grave. To the right of Clares chair is the
Key family vault, where it is alleged that British soldiers, during the War of 1812, ransacked the vault and
did unspeakable things with the graves of the Keys,
and used other graves for cooking their meals. The
Chaptico residents versions and the British versions
of the Chaptico invasion differ greatly, with the British accounts stating that they were welcomed into the
homes of Chaptico where the women played pianos for
them. The Chaptico account is much more horrific.
This Sunday, after the 10:30 service is over, several of our long-time, and historically knowledgeable
church members and friends will lead walking tours
of the church and grounds from 12 to 4. There are so
many interesting stories in our church yard, and so
many stories relating to the War of 1812. So, after you
have enjoyed a full (in mind and body) Friday and Saturday in Leonardtown with all the Raiders and Invaders weekend events, stop by Chaptico for a Sunday afternoon spent in beautiful downtown Chaptico. There
is always a breeze coming off the Chaptico Bay. And
no afternoon in Chaptico is complete without some
Chaptico Market fried chicken, or whatever their special of the day is. The crab cakes are great too. That is
a part of the history we live now come and put one
foot in the past and and one foot in the enjoyment of
the present.
To each new days adventure,

Summertime Treats Energy Super Smoothies

By Debra Meszaros CSN
www.MXSportsNutrition.com
Summertime is upon us and theres no
better time than now to get acquainted with
some new ways to incorporate endurance,
stamina, and energy into the diet.
Quality fats, a/k/a essential fatty acids,
have many major nutritional functions to the
human body; there are important reasons
why they are called essential. For Motocross riders, oil/protein
combinations are noted for their amazing power to reduce soreness and muscle fatigue associated with training, fat-burning is
an excellent way to maintain adequate energy levels as well as
blood sugar levels. When sulfur-rich protein like yogurt or cottage cheese is combined with flax oil, the power of the essential
fatty acids within the flax oil, are elevated. Essential fatty acids
are also high powered brain food and often associated with increased focus; they are potent contributors to adrenal balance
related to your hormone levels. Since energy, focus, and adrenal
support are all part of dialing in your body performance, lets
take a look at how we can incorporate flax oil into the diet.
One of the easiest and tastiest ways to utilize flax seed oil
is to add it to your pre and post workout drinks. Just two (2)
tablespoons added to your drink, super charges it! Some rare
individuals might find the rich taste of flax seed oil unappealing,
but when added to a smoothie or your favorite protein powder
drink, it usually goes undetected. Additionally, theres a brand
of flax seed oil that is flavored, it can be found in health food
stores and probably the internet under the brand name of Barleans. Barleans also makes some amazing flavored oils they
call swirls, my favorite is their Orange Cream Swirl which
to me, tastes just like an old style creamsicle!! The swirls can
be eaten right off the spoon or used as a topping on just about
anything. They taste amazing!
So how do we build Energy Super Smoothies?
Banana-carob chip frosty:
In a blender combine: 2 frozen bananas, 1 cup frozen almond or coconut milk (frozen in an ice tray is best way to do
this), 1 tablespoon of almond butter (or Valencia peanut butter),
cup of carob chips, cup of water, and 2 tablespoons of flax
oil. Puree til frosty.
Cashew-Berry Smoothie:
In a blender combine: 1 cup water, 1/3 cup cashews, 7
frozen strawberries, cup frozen blueberries, 2 tablespoons of
raw honey, and 2 tablespoons of flax oil. Blend until creamy.
Very Cherry Smoothie:
In a blender combine: 2 cups pitted fresh cherries, 1 cup
plain greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon raw honey, teaspoon of vanilla, 1 cup ice (7 ice cubes), and 2 tablespoons of flax oil. Puree til frosty! ** This is a great choice of smoothie if you have
inflammation.
In the above recipes it is important that the following are
used:
Raw honey contains live enzymes and tons more nutrition
than regular honey;
Almond butter is my first choice over peanut butter. All
peanut butters other than peanut butter made from 100% Valencia peanuts are likely to contain Aflatoxins, fungus that grows
on food and is associated with health risks.
How do you make your whole grain pancakes and waffles
energized?
Add cup of flax seed oil to cup of PURE maple syrup
(must be pure maple syrup).
Warning: Never heat flax seed oil!
Well, hopefully youll take the time to incorporate these
tasty treats into your diet this summer and Ill see you on the
podium!
