Sheriff Calls Mans Death

Terrible Accident
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
Calvert Sheriff Mike Evans said there

appeared to be no suspicious circumstances in the death of a Great Mills man Saturday when a tree fell on him in St. Leonard
and killed him.
It was a terrible accident, Evans told
The County Times. He was under the tree
and people who were there worked hard to
get it off of him but he was deceased.
Evans said the victim, Ernesto Cendana,
43, was killed instantly.
Lt. Tim Fridman said Cendana owned
his own tree removal service and had gone
to St. Leonard to cut down a tree at a homeowners property on Wagner Street.
The homeowner was doing chores as
Cendana was cutting the tree down when
a mail carrier knocked on the homeowners
door to tell him that the tree he had cut

down was blocking the road way.
The mail carrier also said she saw what
looked like someone under the tree, Fridman said.
They used a jack to try to lift the tree off
of Cendana; it had impacted on his chest.
They found no signs of life, Fridman
said.
Emergency medical personnel declared
Cendana dead on the scene.
Cendana was taken to the Chief Medical Examiners Office in Baltimore for an
autopsy, Fridman said.

County Wants Advice On

Development Process
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
The county government is seeking bids

for consultants to advise on how to stream
line the development review and permitting process.
The ability to get new projects and businesses started to fill out the countys economic diversification strategy has become
an important issue recently, since local
leaders have become concerned that the
countys development process is too cumbersome to allow rapid diversification.
County Commissioners such as Tom Jarboe have specifically made streamlining
the development review process an issue,
particularly after seeing how business was
done in Huntsville, Alabama, widely seen
as a competitor to St. Marys for militaryrelated work but also as a model for diversifying away from dependency on the same.
Huntsville has a record of quickly being
able to approve and even support key economic development projects
Commissioner Todd Morgan said that
the review process is cumbersome but
changing it to fit the Huntsville model
would be difficult if not impossible.
I think the review process just takes too
long, Morgan said. But I dont agree with

the Huntsville model, we have different
laws than Alabama.
The environmental laws and regulations
here are much more stringent, Morgan said,
and coupled with Alabama being a right to
work state, Huntsville had many competitive advantages.
Maryland has a set of laws 10 feet
thick, Morgan said.
Moreover, Morgan has said that developers have made numerous complaints that
they have fulfilled all the requests of county planners and development only to wait
for months to get answers and be asked to
provide more information.
I still believe the development review
process could be done more efficiently,
Morgan said.
The deadline for bids for consultation
services are due by Nov. 3, according to
count on-line bid notices.

Commissioners Get Library,

Senior Center Update
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
The design planners for the new Leonardtown Library and Garvey Senior Center,
Grimm and Parker, briefed the Commissioners of St. Marys County Tuesday on
incremental changes to the layout of the far
reaching project to be built in the Leonards
Grant community on Hollywood Leonardtown Road.
Some commissioners were concerned,
however, that some of the planning now
would put more emphasis on things like
office space for staff rather than space for
senior activities.
The entire complex is designed to be
48,000 square feet in size with 30,000
square feet for the library portion and the
remaining 18,000 square feet going to the
senior center.
Were building this to be added on to in
the future, said Antonio Robelo, representative for Grimm and Parker.
George Erichsen, the countys public
works chief, said that the design strategy
meant more usable space there.
Were getting more and more programmable space for the senior center, Erich-
sen said, adding that the design team was

working to make the faade of the complex
functional and visually appealing.
We want to make sure this is the anchor
store for this campus, Erichsen said.
Robelo said the design work now was
also working towards eventual expansion
of the facility to include making way for office space for staff to match program space.
But Commissioner President Randy Guy
said he believed they were taking away too
much space for office work and wanted justification for a large kitchen unit.
Commissioner Mike Hewitt agreed.
I think were taking too much away,
Hewitt said. My concern is were taking
space away [for future office space] that we
can use today.
Commissioner John OConnor disagreed, saying that expansion meant that
staff would eventually have to have more
space as well.
Theyre planning for the future,
OConnor said.
Commissioners Mourn Loss of

Former Chamber of Commerce
CEO and President Bill Scarafia
The Commissioners of St. Marys County
are saddened to learn of the passing of Bill
Scarafia. The former CEO and President of
the St. Marys County Chamber of Commerce passed away Monday in Washington
DC. Mr. Scarafia retired from his post at
the Chamber in June after leading that organization for 14 years. He was instrumental in assisting, supporting and promoting
businesses in St. Marys County through
a broad range of economic development,
education and legislative initiatives.
While with the Chamber, Mr. Scarafia
served a diverse Board of Directors, representing retail and service businesses, defense contractors and institutional partners
such as the Board of Education and county
government.
We are very grateful for his leadership
with the Chamber and service to St. Marys
County in his continued efforts to diversify
our economy, said Commissioner President Randy Guy. His presence will be
greatly missed.
Mr. Scarafia provided steadfast leadership, support and mentoring to countless
volunteers who served on the organizations
Board and numerous subcommittees. But
he was best known for placing the business
communitys needs above personal considerations, working tirelessly to attract new
business and enhancing business growth.
I am deeply saddened by his death. He
was an inspiration and leader guiding and
Bowles Farms
reshaping the Chamber, said Commissioner Todd Morgan (4th District). He constantly worked for the businesses and people of St. Marys County and smiled at their
successes. Most noticeably, he never took
the limelight ... usually shunning it. Our
condolences are extended to his family.
As a former Chamber Chairman of the
Board I can tell you Bill worked tirelessly
for the betterment of our County businesses, said Commissioner Tom Jarboe
(1st District). He was highly respected by
his peers around the State of Maryland and
was constantly being recruited by the bigger counties. He was a pivotal plank owner
in the process of economic diversity for our
county. He was a truly wonderful person
and I will miss him greatly.
Mr. Scarafia served on the St. Marys
County Economic Development Commission and played a pivotal role in organizing
a trade mission in 2015 to Huntsville Alabama to learn how that city successfully
diversified its economy.
Im very saddened to hear of Bills
passing, said Chris Kaselemis, St. Marys
County Economic Development director.
He was a tremendous help to our department, as he was to me personally.
He worked hard to improve the economy
of St. Marys County.

Patricia McCoy
Leader of The State of Maryland

AmericanLegion Organization
By David Spigler
Contributing Writer
On July 15, 2016, Commander Patricia McCoy, a resident of St. Leonard, was
elected Commander of the Department of
Maryland American Legion at the annual
American Legion Convention in Ocean
City. This significant achievement to head
the 53,000 legionnaires throughout the state
is a remarkable accomplishment not only
at the state level, but at the national level as
well. This position of leadership is seldom
achieved by female veterans who previously
were not provided an opportunity to reach
these levels within this great veteran organization. Only once before has a woman been
elected to head the Maryland contingent.
Known to fellow members and friends
throughout Calvert County as Pat, she
has travelled extensively to all areas of the
county in her former role as county commander to support the four Legion Posts located here. With her new position, she will
now travel the entire State to support and
serve 138 American Legion Posts scattered
throughout all 23 Counties. Pat is sharp,
intelligent individual with an outgoing personality. When coupled with an enormous
commitment to service, she provided
many thousands of hours of volunteer work
to the community during more than 30 years
of association with this charitable, fraternal
organization. Her lifes experiences formed
her strong motivation to help others, a characteristic upon which her wonderful reputation has been built.
Patricia McCoy with elected State Senators Boys Nation from Maryland
Pat was not raised here, but found her

way to Gods Country as a result of her
military service. Born in Asheville, North
Carolina, Pat considered herself a country
girl with dreams of seeing the world. Upon
graduation from high school in 1971, Pat
immediately saw her Navy recruiter and
found herself attending Navy boot camp
at Naval Training Center in Bainbridge,
Maryland. Like many young people her age,
she could not wait to get away from home
and saw the Navy as the means to escape.
The Navy in the early 70s was a much different world then todays military where a
female sailor can go to sea on an aircraft carrier or pilot our latest, most sophisticated attack airplane. A young womans choices and
opportunities back then were very limited
and not all that exciting. Following completion of Basic Training, Pat was assigned to
the staff at Bainbridge and became involved
with instructing female recruits not much
younger than herself.
In time she was advanced to seaman
and fell in love with a young man. Later,
she became pregnant, however strict Naval
regulations at the time would not permit a
pregnant female to remain on active duty
so, despite her desires, she was honorably
discharged from active duty. Not long after, Admiral Elmo Zumwalt, the Chief of
Naval Operations commenced a series of
changes that included radical improvement
of equality for females and opened many of
the formerly closed ratings [occupations] to
women. But, alas, it was too late for Pat as

she was building her family and getting on
with her life.
Pat has always enjoyed working with
people and especially our military veterans.
Not long after being discharged, she decided
to join the American Legion as a means of
staying close to the military. She states often in conversations with others, It is like
you are still serving on active duty. She
loved the camaraderie of the Legionnaires
and how they came together to help provide
aid and support so many causes within the
county. Pat gets great pleasure seeing men
and women of all five military services, including active duty, former members and
retirees coming together in working for the
common good. Since attending her first fundraisers and bull roasts at Legion Post 206 in
Chesapeake Beach as a young legionnaire,
She has never stopped giving of herself to
this group. She chaired many events in the
early years, then accepted the role of Post
Historian for four years. Following that assignment, she served as service officer, then
was elected to the number two position as
the post first vice commander where she
was responsible for many post activities including filling in for the post commander in
his absence.
In 1998, Pat was elected post commander,
a role she went on to hold four times. She
was the first female to hold this position for
this large organization and her early successes have established her reputation as a
trendsetter. She
next served two
terms as the Calvert County commander responsible for all the
members at the
four legion posts
within the County. She became
very
popular
with legionnaires
throughout Southern
Maryland
for her uncanny
ability to get the job done. Her charming

personality and beautiful smile can fool you
though as she can be a tough cookie when
the time comes to rolling up the sleeves to
accomplish the tough tasks. But that tough
side of her is seldom seen as she has learned
how to motivate people through her own
good example.
Through her great reputation, many years
of dedication and her strong will and devotion, Pat surprised no one when she rose to
become the American Legions Department
of Maryland Second Vice Officer, a position
that placed her in line to become the next
head of the American Legion here in Maryland. This is a remarkable accomplishment
for any Legionnaire, but is especially significant that a dynamic woman from Calvert
County rose completely through the ranks
here and now holds the highest position in
the state. Governor Larry Hogan recently
appointed Pat to the World War I Centennial Committee, another new role she is
truly looking forward to. She is pleased
to be able to continue to serve her country
in these capacities for it gives her an even
greater opportunity to share with others all
the wonderful contributions and services
the members of American Legion provide
their communities.
Throughout her life, Pat has been proud
to represent her county, Southern Maryland
and, for the past three months, her state. She
shared that her love of her community here
is due to the many great friendships she has
formed as well as the very supportive nature
of our local citizens. She believes folks here,
more than anywhere else, reach out to help
one another when in need. Finally, asked
when she looks back at her lifes work was
there anything else that makes her smile,
she immediately responded I am proud to
be a Navy veteran. Commander Pat, we
know we speak for many of your friends
and neighbors here when we say how proud
we are of you and your years of commitment
to helping your fellow citizens. Congratulations on this richly deserved honor and
achievement. We salute you for your great
service. Thank you so much for all you do.

Governor Announces Continued Low

Unemployment Insurance Taxes in 2017
Employers Benefit from Lowest Possible
Unemployment Insurance Tax Rates Allowed
Governor Larry Hogan today announced that beginning inthe first quarter
of 2017, Maryland employers will continue
to benefit fromthe lowest possible unemployment insurance tax rates allowed under state law. The Maryland Department
of Labor, Licensing and Regulation is able
tooffer this advantageous rate due to declining unemployment and, consequently,
lower unemployment benefit payments.
In 2017, the range of rates will be from
0.3 percent to 7.5 percent. Therate for new
employers in 2017 will be 2.6 percent. An
exception is therate for new construction
employers headquartered in another state,
which will be 6.6 percent. The taxable
wage base for 2017 will remain at $8,500.
Growing Marylands economy is our
administrations number one priority,said
Governor Hogan. By improving our
states business climate, employersare able
to benefit from a continued low unemployment insurance tax rate,which allows them
to create even more jobs and opportunities
for our hardworking citizens.
Maryland recently reached an all-time
high, historic number of employersdoing
business in Maryland, 146,300 employers
in the state an additional7,000 businesses since January 2015.
As the unemployment rate decreases,
not only are more Marylanders working, but the amount of state benefits paid
also decreases, said Maryland LaborSecretary Kelly M. Schulz. Under the direc-
tion of the Hoganadministration, employers are able to thrive and create jobs, as
the state and business community work
together to continue strengthening our
economy.
According to the latest federal report,
Marylands unemployment rate is at an
eight-year low of 4.2 percent. Benefits paid
dropped nearly $80 millionbetween fiscal
year 2015 and fiscal year 2016.
Given most Maryland employers pay
the minimum tax rate, many companies
willcontinue to pay $25.50 per employee
per year. Since September 30, 2015,Marylands Unemployment Insurance Trust
Fund has grown by more than $94million
to nearly $1.1 billion as of September 30,
2016.
The Maryland Unemployment Insurance Program is financed by the Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA) and
is administered by the Maryland Departmentof Labor, Licensing and Regulation.
As required by Maryland law, the Division of Unemployment Insurance does an
annual temperature check of the Unemployment Insurance (UI) Trust Fund.
This temperature check is madeusing the
ending balance of the Trust Fund every
September 30. Thereconciled ending balance is compared to the taxable wage base
for thepreceding four quarters. That ratio
determines the UI Rate Table for thenext
calendar year.

Take a Stand in
War on Drugs
Like many communities across America, St. Marys County has experienced
numerous problems associated with illicit
drug use and those who traffic in them.
Governments and community leaders
know citizen support is one of the most effective tools in the effort to reduce the use
of illicit drugs. With that as a foundation
the Commissioners of St. Marys County
recognized the Red Ribbon Campaign and
the Southern Maryland Young Marines in
their continuing efforts to curb illegal drug
use in the county.
Congress established the Red Ribbon
Campaign in 1988 to encourage a drug-free
lifestyle and involvement in drug prevention and education efforts. This year the
week of October 21 - 29 has been desig-
nated National Red Ribbon Week. Americans are encouraged to wear a red ribbon
to show their support for a drug-free environment. The 2016 National Red Ribbon
theme is YOLO. Be Drug Free (YOLO
stands for You Only Live Once).
There is hope in winning the war on
drugs, and that hope lies in education and
drug demand reduction, coupled with the
hard work and determination of organizations, such as the Southern Maryland
Young Marines, to foster a healthy, drugfree lifestyle, said Commissioner Todd
Morgan (4th District).
In proclaiming National Red Ribbon
Week, the commissioners urged citizens to
join them in marking the observance now
and throughout the year.

Shop Bandit
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
Investigators are still on the hunt for an
as yet unknown male assailant who entered
the Pot Belly sandwich shop in California
Sunday night and robbed the establishment.
Two employees were inside the restaurant after closing time, around 9:30 p.m. on
Oct. 23, when the suspect entered the establishment through an unlocked side door
and used a handgun to rob the store before
fleeing the scene.
Police are describing the suspect as approximately 5-feet, 10-inches to 6-feet tall,
with a medium build.
He was wearing black pants, a mask

and a hooded jacket during the robbery,
policestated.
Sheriffs investigators are asking anyone

With the win, St. Marys secured a spot in the
six-team playoff field. Just one game remains in
the CAC regular season, and Christopher Newport University (7-0-1 CAC) and University of
Mary Washington (7-1) earned first-round byes

second half and capitalize on a penalty kick.
First-year forward Tyler McElwee (Highland

First Friday Will Raise

Food Pantry Cash
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
From October of last year to present day

the soup kitchen volunteers at First Saints
Community Church in Leonardtown have
feed 10,000 people, said the soup kitchen
manager Carol Barton, and the task keeps
getting more challenging.
Theres a constant need for food, Barton said.

And while donations are generally welcomed they arent always the best that can
be provided for those in need, she said.
Sometimes the donations are of foods
that arent nutritious, like cake frosting,
to simply being out of date and inedible,
sometimes by years, she said.
To help the soup kitchen in its mission
this year, several businesses participating
in Leonardtowns First Friday have agreed
to raise funds for the soup kitchen.
Were always anxious to partner in
a way thats positive, said Ellen Lewis,
owner of Crazy For Ewe, a pledge to the
program to help the soup kitchen. It really
makes you grateful for what you have.
We cant all volunteer at the soup kitchen, we have businesses to run, but we can
all find ways to help.
Businesses who are participating in the
Grateful Harvest, Share the Bounty program for the First Friday have pledged
10 percent of their sales that day for the
soupkitchen.

Vegetables in small cans, lightweight

that the soup kitchen plans on buying to
make ready for the needy, Barton said.
Some of the problems stem from dealing
with the Southern Maryland Food Bank
which supplies many of the food pantries
locally, Barton said.
Its pretty sporadic when it opens,
shesaid.
If the soup kitchen can get to the food
bank when its open the volunteers can buy
in bulk at a much cheaper price than they
can anywhere else but even then what they
get is not always what the soup kitchen can
readily use.
The food items were prepackaged in
large boxes, Barton said, and had to be
taken as is. They were not always useful.
Its hard but sometimes we get lucky,
Barton said.

A Letter to the Editor

Working For Sustainable Agriculture Since 1925
To the Editor,
The St. Marys County Farm Bureau
does not support a proposal put forward by
some county commissioners to change our
form of government from county commissioner to code home rule. According to a
published report, the three main benefits of
moving St. Marys County to code home
rule are efficiency, transparency and accountability. So then why does farm bureau oppose the change to code home rule
and why should you care?
Farm bureau looked at two situations offered to support the sudden need to change
from our commissioner form of government, which weve had for 175 years, to
code home rule.
Some commissioners complained that
it took too long to obtain enabling legislation to enact the property management
ordinance in 2014. Yes, it took about two
years to draft the language and to have a
bill passed by the legislature, but the citizen
input and debate that occurred during the
delay produced an ordinance that was functional and acceptable to the citizens while
still protecting private property rights.
Commissioners also complained about
needing additional state legislative authority in order to change the countys animal
control ordinance. A bill granting that authority was passed and became effective
October 1, 2015. A year later, the animal
Legal
The County Times
control ordinance update still remains in

limbo, which suggests that it wasnt that
big of a deal in the first place. In neither
of these cases did farm bureau find a compelling reason to warrant a change to code
home rule.
During the Maryland legislative session,
Maryland Farm Bureau has dedicated staff
in Annapolis to monitor legislation that may
affect our farmers. State staff work with
local farm bureaus to coordinate and assist
our legislative efforts. St. Marys Farm Bureau cannot afford to have that support at
the county level. It will be impossible for
our farm bureau to have someone attend 45
county commissioner meetings each year
in case a commissioner introduces a bill
through the code home rule process. It will
be equally impossible to gather 6,500 voter
signatures to petition a bill to referendum
for reversal, should we determine that a local law is adverse to our farmers.
Our farmers work very hard every day
to produce the food and fiber you need for
your families while also being good stewards of the land and protecting our natural resources. Please give your farmers a
break and vote no on code home rule.
James K. Raley, Jr.
President

Mating Season Beginning;

Walk for Hospice Deer
Use Extra Caution Driving
St. Marys County native Tom Spalding

recently visited the Hospice office following the passing of his brother-in-law, Dr.
Michael Morton. Dr. Morton was a local
pharmacist who passed away on October
26th, shortly after a cancer diagnosis.
Tom is very close with his family, including his sister Debbie Spalding, Dr.
Mortons widow. The family was very
moved by their experience with Hospice.
It has catalyzed a long held desire by Tom
to do some tangible good for the world and
his community. On November 13th he will
start the first leg of the inaugural Dr. Mike
Morton Memorial Walk for Hospice.
This walk will begin on November 13th
in Hancock, Maryland, culminating on
November 22nd in Georgetown, Washington DC. Toms route will be following the
historic C&O Canal. That route has been a
favorite of Toms, stemming from his experiences as a Boy Scout in the troop led
by his father, Thomas Christopher Spalding, Sr. The scouts canoed the entire South
Branch of the Potomac River, and the scenic area left a lasting impression on Tom.
The plan is to walk upwards of 20 miles per
day, stopping in small towns along the way
and sleeping in the open air at campsites.
Toms plan is to make this an annual
event, with future walks starting on October 26th of each year the anniversary of
Mike Mortons passing. Though this year
will be a solo effort, Tom plans to have
other participants join him on the walk in
Tom Spalding
the years to come. Tom also would like to

gather donation pledges from friends and
the community at large to support Hospice
through this walk. All donations are tax
deductible and will go directly to Hospice.
If you would like to support Tom Spalding in the Dr. Michael Morton Memorial
Walk for Hospice you can send donations
to the Hospice office. Should you have any
questions you can call us here at Hospice
(301-994-3023) or you can call Tom at
443-295-5717.
Best of luck on your walk, Tom: May
your feet stay blister free, may the sun
shine along the way, and may your route be
free from bees, bears and clowns!
In the blink of an eye it can happen. A

deer darts out from the trees. The natural instinct in drivers is to cut the steering
wheel and slam on the brakes. These actions could be deadly. The Maryland Department of Transportations State Highway Administration (SHA) is offering
autumn driving tips to reduce the chance
encounter with a white-tailed deer during
the rut, or deer mating season.
This is the season that deer become extremely active and present significant danger to drivers and passengers, said SHA
Administrator Gregory C. Johnson, P.E.
Some of the most serious crashes can occur when drivers swerve to miss deer crossing the road.
Here are some tips for limiting a chance
of a vehicle-deer collision:
Never VEER for deer. Making sudden
sharp turns is dangerous as it could place
a driver in the path of on-coming traffic or
cause your vehicle to strike a fixed object
such as a tree or utility pole.
Be familiar with deer behavior. If you
see one deer, chances are good that there

are more to follow. Deer travel in herds.

Be familiar with known deer areas, often
marked with deer crossing warning signs.
Be aware of your surroundings. Deer
often feed between sunset and sunrise and
often live in forested areas or rural regions
near watersheds.
Stay alert. When traveling through a
known deer crossing area, slow down, keep
both hands on the wheel and eyes on the
road.
Drive carefully at night. Use your high
beams where possible and when there is no
oncoming traffic. High beams illuminate a
wider area.
Clean your windows and ensure all exterior vehicle lighting is operational. A
clear windshield will help you see greater
distances.
Using peripheral vision. Scan each
side of the road and in the distance for
movement.
Should you strike a deer, never approach
an injured animal. Pull to a safe location
with hazard lights on and call the police.
Drive safely this fall.
There will be many handmade items

along with baked goods created by the
members of the Knitwits.
The church is located at 8505 Old Leonardtown Road, Hughesville, Maryland.

October Is Disability
Employment Month
Whatever the unemployment rate may be
at any given time, you can be assured it is
more than double that for people with disabilities. This group of hard working, loyal
employees often find themselves overlooked
as a job applicant, which is why designating
October as disability employment month is
so important.
At The Center for Life Enrichment
(TCLE) we are fortunate to work with many
local employers who look beyond disability,
seeing instead the person and their unique set
of skills. Many of these employers, such as
Walmart, Cheeseburger in Paradise and the
Holiday Inn-Solomons, offered employment
which turned into a career of 10-20 years. In
several cases these dedicated employees are
now the only remaining original employee at
the business. From Arbys to Ye Olde Town
Caf employees with disabilities are mak-
21
ing a difference in the workforce but many

are also contributing to their community
through volunteering.
Through opportunities with local agencies such as Meals on Wheels, local libraries, PETCO, St. Marys Hospital and Health
Department, Tidewater Dental and Quality Inn. The volunteer hours contributed by
people with disabilities in our community
is in the thousands. Volunteering is a great
way to learn skills, fill an important need
and contribute to the community. One of
our hardworking employees who works in
the community and also volunteers said it
best I think its important that we let everyone know that we can do it. And to those
employers who already understand that we
thank you!

Womans Club Collecting

Clothing, Household Items
The Womans Club of St. Marys County,
Inc., a 501 (c) (3) non-profit, will be having
a used clothing drive on Friday, November
11th from 10:00 a.m. to 1:p.m. The drive will

the Hollywood Volunteer Fire Department.
The purpose of this fund-raiser is to raise
money for the Clubs scholarship fund. The
organization awards at least two scholarships
annually to students who demonstrate financial need and academic excellence. Extracurricular activities, community service and
character are also considered.
A&E Clothing Corp. from New Jersey
will be processing the used clothing. The
Womans Club will receive money for every
pound collected. The clothing is sent to impoverished areas around the world.
Things that A&E accept include all types

of clothing and shoes. Accessories that
are collected include handbags, belts, backpacks, hats, scarves, briefcases, gloves, and
ties. Household items such as blankets, tablecloths, bed linen, draperies, curtains, pillows, towels, small rugs, quilts and comforters are accepted. All types of toys, stuffed
animals and bicycles of all size are also

tightly tied plastic bags, with the exception of
hard toys that should be put into boxes.
Donations are tax deductible and a receipt

NAACP Urging Souls to the Polls

for Early Voting
On Sunday, October 30, 2016 the St.

Marys County NAACP urges , church pastors and their congregations, community organizations and all citizens to exercise their
right to vote and vote early. Join us for early
voting at the Hollywood Firehouse Carnival
Building, 24801 Three Notch Road, Hollywood, MD 20636, for a special Souls to the
Polls Sunday. Organize your church family
to vote early together !
The opportunity to vote early has increased voter turnout for many who dont
traditionally have the opportunity to vote
on General Election Day. Starting at 2:00
p.m., fellowship and pray with the NAACP
before going to vote and visit the information table to get information about NAACP
political action and voting issues that affect
your life e.g. continued funding to improve
health disparities, securing jobs to close the
gap of economic disparity facing many in
St. Marys County, funding for education to
eliminate the achievement gap and diversify
the teaching staff and more. Many people
underestimate the far-reaching power and
impact of the ballot. Communities and indi-
viduals are changed when they exercise their

right to vote, said Dr. Janice T. Walthour,
NAACP first-vice president.
Same Day Registration: Effective January 1, 2016, Maryland voters who provide
proof of residency may register and vote on
the same day during the early voting period,
but not on Election Day. Research suggests
that turnout increases are maximized when
early voting is combined with same day registration! Call the local Board of Elections to
find out about same day voter registration or
get information at the NAACP information
table on Souls to the Polls Sunday. Sign up
to help get your church or organization more
involved with civic engagement and the 2018
local elections. We want to instill in our
young people the importance of voting. This
is an important election and we need African-Americans, Hispanic, Latinos and all
citizens to go to the polls and vote early, said
Tommy Herndon, event coordinator. Vote
early from October 27- November 3, 2016.
General Election Day is November 8, 2016.

Josiah Tippett and Sons, Pt. I

Josiah Tippett had six sons, four of
whom left St. Marys County and moved
to St. Louis, Missouri. Hezekiah, son of
Josiah by Ann Cawood, was the eldest and
was born in 1785. Hezekiah served in St.
Marys County during the War of 1812. On
February 18, 1824 in Washington, D.C.,
Hezekiah married Catherine Elizabeth
King. They were in St. Louis by 1831 where
he died in 1845. Catherine (King) Tippett,
born in Washington, D.C. June 13, 1803,
died in St. Louis on December 18, 1892.
George, Philip and Peregrine Tippett,
Hezekiahs half-brothers, sons of Josiah by
Susanna Davis, also moved to St. Louis.
George, born 1803, married Margaret
Mary Eleanor Burrage, daughter of Martin Burrage and Elizabeth Bourne December 20, 1826. Elizabeth (Bourne) Burrage
may have had some hard feelings against
her son-in-law since she stated in her 1845
will that she was giving her daughter Margaret Eleanor Tippett, wife of George Tippett, $350 with the express condition that
my Executor will not be compelled to pay

anything into the hands of her husband,
George Tippett. Perhaps she was angered
that her daughter had moved away. George
and his family moved to St. Louis between
after 1834.
Peregrine Tippett, born 1806, married
Susanna Maria Leigh (daughter of Lewis
Leigh and Attaway Maryman) January 26,
1827 in St. Marys County.
Cedar Grove was the residence of Judge
Peregrine Tippett, long and well known as
one of the most active and intelligent citizens of the county. He came from Maryland about 1832, remained a few years in
St. Louis, and entered land in 1835; laid out
a farm, planted a large orchard of choicest
fruit, and was an authority as a farmer and
pomologist. Aunt Susans Favorite apple
originated here from seed sown in 1837
by Mrs. Tippett, nee Susanna Lee [Leigh].
In the original orchard, near the site of the
old cabin stands a service-berry tree of
gigantic proportions, at least one hundred

feet high and beautifully balanced, in early

spring a veritable mountain of snow. The
judge in early times kept a store and wayside inn, was justice of the peace for many
years, and judge of the County Court from
1858 to 1864.
In 1859, Peregrine Tippett was elected
as one of the five county commissioners in
St. Louis and it was noted that Judge Tippett was the only member of the St Louis
county court who voted for General Grant
[future President, Ulysses S. Grant] for
County Engineer in 1858.
Halloween Prep
We now have guards for our wine cases

downstairs. Silent sentries well nearly
silent daring anyone to grab a bottle. I
am even afraid of going in the guest room.
Mindy hates them and growls and growls
at them, and if you have ever heard a hound
dog growl it is a funny thing. Who are
these sentries? They are smaller Halloween
creatures that we found while shopping for
items to complete the bathroom (once again
and hopefully forever) downstairs. I think
they are even creepier than their full-sized
compatriots. These creatures will probably
fill the back trail where we are more selective of what age groups are taken through.
I have been consulting my four page
Halloween Trails checklist, and think we
may be on schedule, even with the rain due
for Thursday. Most all of the grocery shopping is done, except for the hamburger and
hamburger and hot dog rolls. Today I get
the pumpkins, hay, cornstalks, and mums.
My husband gets like a little kid now, and
I think is really excited about the chance
for good weather, new creatures, and for
hopefully some help coming for set-up. He
has been raking up all those hickory nuts,
acorns, and black walnuts I wrote of previously. The windy day Tuesday brought
more down, so I imagine he will back out
there again after he gets home each day
from a few more pool closings this week.
We are also trying to get the circle in
the middle of our driveway complete at the
same time. You might remember that I inadvertently bought the wrong type of Mon-
Peregrine Tippett died October 8, 1866

and is buried in the Lewis Cemetery, Crescent, St. Louis Co., MO. Buried beside him
is Susanna Maria (Leigh) Tippett who died
August 16, 1880 at the age of 72.
Two of Susanna Maria (Leigh) Tippetts
sisters also ended up in St. Louis. Eliza
Leigh who married William J. Robards first
lived in Jefferson County, KY but was in
St. Louis by 1880 and Mary Eleanor Leigh
who married Legrand Rucker in St. Louis
probably accompanied the Tippetts on their
trip west.
do grass years ago when I thought I was

buying the same Liriope grass from before.
The original Liriope clumps never became
invasive, but the Mondo, or Monkey grass,
spread from ten tiny plugs to all through
the large circle into the driveway. You cannot stop the stuff. It did take quite a few
years before anything happened, then all
of a sudden, they seemed to take off. What
is funny is that when I first started on the
circle many years ago, I took out all the invasive Lilly of the Valley. Now we have the
circle covered in an old pool liner, and my
husband is going to cover it all with mulch
so I can just put in potted seasonal plants
and decorative accents. Our friends gave
us a nice long wooden bench with openings
for plants on either end, that I will paint for
the center of the circle.
If I can get the bench in there in the next
few days then I think it will need a scary
stuffed creature on it for the Trails. And I
am wondering how I can Halloweenercise
my fairy garden. I do have one sculpture of
a dinosaur eating tiny dwarfs that would
probably work. I just need a spotlight on
that area. So any ideas on this would be
welcome.
Most of all I am looking forward to
having a fun night with family and friends;
laughing, getting scared together, and eating together. So much wonderful food is
always brought. I also love when all the
kids and parents come through, and they
tell me how much they have enjoyed the
trails through the last 9 or 10 years. Some
are now bringing their children. The
highlight for me is watching some
of our grandchildren lead the tours
through the same trails that they
used to be carried or hand-walked
through. Everyone has their family
traditions one of our favorites just
happens to be scaring people. You
can come over too if you dare.

Cool Nature
by Amy-Jane Beer
c.2016, Pavilion
$14.99 / $17.99 Canada
112 pages
The rocks on the ground outside your
door are pretty awesome.
Just by looking at them, you can tell what
kind of rocks they are and where they came
from. You also know a little about biology,
astronomy, and what makes you tick, so
why not learn more by reading Cool Nature by Amy-Jane Beer?
For many years pretty much your entire life, in fact youve been interested
in the outdoors. Once you learned more
about such things, you dreamed of being a
geologist, a biologist, an archaeologist, but
why label yourself, asks Beer. You can be

all those things, just by calling yourself a
scientist.
Scientists, of course, study the outdoors
beginning with The Earth. Did you know,
for instance, that its impossible to dig yourself a hole all the way to Australia? Nope,
thered be molten rock in your way, sorry.
You probably already know that there are
three classes of rock, but did you know what
happens to all rock eventually? Did you
know that theres a place on earth where the
rocks are hexagonal, or that theres a code

Okay, enough about things you walk on.
In this book, youll learn about the Earths
oceans and what lives in them like, for
example, fish that live deep down. Just five
percent of an ocean is lit by the sun, which
means that ninety-five percent is in total
darkness. Could you get the lights, please?
Or lets say you need proof for your scientific thoughts. This book has you covered:
ask an adult first, then make a volcano,
get drinkable water from salt water, track
animals, and study leaves. And if thats
still not enough, peep this: The rainforest

plants. A bolt of lightning can sizzle at

have had names for over 200 years. And
just like your dog, a tiger, an elephant, and
a platypus, you are a homeotherm.
For much of the summer, you couldnt
keep your child indoors. There was so
much to see and even more to do, and
theres a promise of further fun inside
Cool Nature.
Using the word nature in an all-encompassing fashion, author Amy-Jane
Beer offers kids a basic whet-their-appetite
overview of many different fields of scientific study, beginning with Earth Science
and moving upward. This isnt a dumbdown book, either; Beer writes to kids in
language they can understand, but she uses
real scientific terms that may require parental pronunciation. She also offers lots of
info-sidebars to help kids feel really smart.
Teens may get a kick out of this book,
as a lark, but I think its best for fourththrough-sixth grade students. If your child
is looking for a book on science or the world
around him, Cool Nature really rocks.
