MLK Celebration Turns

To Talk Of Trump
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
The annual prayer breakfast at St. Marys
College of Maryland held to celebrate the legacy of civil rights icon Martin Luther King,
Jr. quickly turned into a rally against President-Elect Donald Trump, who the keynote
speaker accused of peddling racist sentiments
during and after his successful campaign.
David Kendall, a civil rights lawyer who
worked in Mississippi in 1964 to encourage
black people to register to vote, spoke much
about Kings legacy in bringing about change
in America for people of color and how dangerous it was to help bring about that change
in the Deep South.
It was American apartheid, Kendall told
those gathered at the colleges great hall Jan.
16. There was a climate of fear, uncertainty,
anxiety and dread.
Kendall said he was arrested 12 times there
and that his roommate, Andrew Goodman,
was one of three men who were killed and
their bodies dumped in Mississippi for their
work to overturn oppression of black voting
rights.
Despite a Supreme Court ruling years before, Kendall said that orders to desegregate
schools and the like were largely ignored in
Mississippi.
While saying that America had made
much progress in making civil rights for all a
reality, Kendall quickly turned to lambasting
Trumps campaign, accusing it of bringing

about the rise of white nationalism.
The Trump campaign has opened up a
Pandoras box of racist rantings, Kendall
said, adding that he hoped the next two years
would allow for a congressional election that
would bring about drastic change.
Lets elect a congress that would consider
impeaching a Republican president, Kendall
said, to widespread applause.
Trump is set to be inaugurated as the 45th
President of the United States Friday.
District 29 B Del. Deb Rey attended the
gathering and said she was deeply disappointed in its tenor.
I was very disappointed that it ended up
with [U.S. Rep.] Steny Hoyer and the speaker
[Kendall] talking about politics and division, Rey said. I mean Steny Hoyer started
his speech with These are the times that try
mens souls. Really?
Rey was also taken aback by a comment
made by college President Tuajuanda Jordan
about African-Americans not going back,
seemingly referring to the era of segregation.
Nobodys suggesting were going back
to the times of racial segregation, Rey said.
Im concerned about what Trumps going to
do, too.
But its not the end.

Citizens File Against

Hollywood Project Approval
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
Two Hollywood residents have led a civil

suit in St. Marys County Circuit Court over
a Board of Appeals decision that allowed a
controversial commercial project at the intersection of Sotterley Road and Route 235 to
proceed.
Both Jerry Thompson and Stephen
Hoopengardner led the suit against the Dean
Partnership LLC project, known as the Hollywood Commercial Center, on the grounds
that the appeals board decision of last summer was improper.
The appeals board decision overturned the
ruling of the countys Planning Commission,
which denied the applicants conceptual sight
plan over concerns of trafc safety.
That denial occurred after months of deliberation by the planning commission and
hearing testimony from both the applicant
and citizens about the projects local impact.
The [Board of Appeals] decision to approve the concept site plan was in error because the board made no meaningful ndings
of fact or conclusions of law, and therefore its
decision is arbitrary as a matter of law. the
petition for administrative review reads.
The petition also states that the board erred
in admitting a written statement from John
Groeger, deputy director of the Department
of Public Works and Transportation, regarding the project without actual in-person
testimony.
The petition also claimed that the boards
assumption that it had no authority to review
opinions about the trafc situation there or
make decisions regarding welfare and safety,

was an error of law.
The petitioners want the courts to reverse
the appeals board decision and remand it
back to them for more deliberation.
The boards decision last year cited the fact
that the concept site plan met the conditions
of parts of the zoning ordinance and therefore
could be approved.
The plan to build at the unused farm site
of about 14 acres included a pharmacy, retail
shops and eating establishments and was expected to generate about 13,000 vehicle trips
each day.
The main concern among some planning
commission members and residents was the
condition of roads, specically Sotterley
Road, was not adequate to service the new
project.
The applicants plan was to create an entrance to the property via a right hand turn off
of Sotterley Road directly into the site; this
proviso of the plan was of particular concern
to commission members and citizens.
In its ruling the Board of Appeals put conditions on the project, including the dedication of a 10-foot right of way on Old Three
Notch Road to the county, the construction
of sidewalks along Route 235 and Sotterley
Road with a crossing for pedestrians across
Sotterley Road at Route 235 and the installation of a sign barring trucks from accessing the site at the back entrance on Old Three
Notch Road.

MedStar St. Marys Hos[ital is pleased to

introduce Gurpreet Phull, MD, who recently joined the MedStar Georgetown Pediatrics Division of Pulmonary Medicine. Dr.
Phull completed his fellowship in pediatric
pulmonary medicine at Childrens National
Medical Center where he provided the full
scope of consultation, diagnostic testing
and treatment of children and adolescents
with chronic lung diseases. Dr. Phull is
now seeing patients at the MedStar Medical
Group Specialists ofces at Charlotte Hall.
How does winter weather affect children
with asthma?
Winter is a time, undoubtedly, when children tend to get sick. The weather is cold
and being indoors in close quarters tends
to allow viruses to spread. Ultimately, it is
viruses that lead to upper and lower airway
inammation and asthma exacerbations.
Children with asthma should take particular care heading out into the cold, making
sure to bundle with thick coats,
gloves, hats and scarves.
Should children with breathing issues be vaccinated against
the u?
It is prudent that any child
older than 6 months of age with
an underlying respiratory related disorder, such as asthma,
and all household members
living with that child, be vaccinated against the u. As it
does take time for the body to
develop immunity against the
u, you should receive the u
vaccine as early as possible.
When should parents taking
their children to a physician (or
specialist)?consider
Parents should take their
child to a specialist when their
child has respiratory symptoms
that are not well-controlled on
the current regimen or are out
of proportion to other children
their age. It is important to in-
vestigate these respiratory symptoms earlier to avoid delay in treatments and adverse
outcomes.
Are there any extra precautions parents
should have their children take during the
winter months?
Precautions that we can all take during
these winter months relate to measures to
decrease the spread of viruses and bacteria.
This includes correct cough and sneeze maneuvers - coughing or sneezing into your
arm or elbow, proper hand washing for at
least 20 seconds, and sanitizing services
and objects where viruses and bacteria can
lay ormant.
Learn more about our pediatric specialists at MedStarStMarys.org/Pediatrics or
call 202-295-0547 to make an appointment
with Dr. Phull.

St. Marys County Library

Mourns Loss of Rose Sivak
The St. Marys County Library Board
of Trustees joins all St. Marys County Library employees in mourning the passing
of Rose Sivak.
Rose started working for St. Marys
County Library as a page in 1972. She retired in November of 2015 as an Assistant
Branch Manager at the Lexington Park
Library, a position she had held for many
years. During Roses 43 years of service
at the Library, she left a lasting impression
on all those who with her and she enjoyed
sharing her love of reading with all customers and staff.

Rose was one of a kind. said Mary
Anne Bowman, Deputy Director. She
dedicated 43 years to the Lexington Park
Library and I know she is deeply missed
by both staff and customers. When I was
the Lexington Park Manager, Rose was my
rock. She would always tell me straight and
I greatly admired her work ethic and dedication to both her staff and the customers.

Commission Hearing On Plan

Mistake Set For Monday
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
The St. Marys County Planning Commission will hold a public hearing Jan. 23
to deliberate on an error in the Lexington
Park Development District Master Plan that
could directly effect a proposed development in the Great Mills Road corridor.
The error was found recently when the
planning commission began its review of
the conceptual site plan for the Cecils Mill
Business Park project, which is proposed
for construction on what was thought to be
residential, low density-zoned land.
In fact the property is actually zoned as
mixed-use, medium density which requires
large-scale and clustered commercial
and residential uses adjacent to existing or
planned principal transportation corridors
with reasonable preservation of open space
and forest retention, the master plan reads.
If the planning commission votes to correct the error their recommendation will
be moved on to the Commissioners of St.
Marys County, who will then have the final
decision on making the correction.
Residents have had to contend with two
delays now regarding the Cecils Mill proj-
ect, which includes business office and

warehouse facilities in its proposal, and
have expressed their worries about traffic
and even the increase in local crime due to
another urban project that could bring unwanted trespassers near neighborhoods.
The project calls for a 24,800 squarefoot, two-story office building and a 54,000
square-foot warehouse.
The property is nearly 25 acres in size
and the original plans for the project included a residential development.
The first public hearing in October was
halted due to missing data from the State
Highway Administration that needed to be
included to proceed with deliberations.
That report has since entered into the
record and states that no further traffic
analysis is needed and the project could be
approved.
Staff Writer Dick Myers contributed to
this report.

Comptroller Franchot
Announces Opening of
2017 Tax Filing Season
Individual Tax Returns Will Begin

Processing January 23
Comptroller Peter Franchot announced

today that Maryland will begin processing
personal income tax returns for Tax Year
2016 on January 23, 2017, the same day
the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) begins
accepting returns. In an ongoing effort to
combat tax fraud, the agency will not immediately process a state tax return if W-2
information is not on file. Employers are
required to report wage information to the
Comptroller on or before Jan. 31.
When Americans have been directly affected by fraud, identity theft, data breaches and other financial crimes, the security
of the Maryland taxpayer remains my top
priority this tax season, Franchot said.
Making sure W-2 information is on file
at the time a return is received is in keeping with that effort. Last year, my agency
stopped processing state tax returns from
more than 60 companies whose purpose
was to prey on the vulnerable, the homeless and those with limited financial means.
I will continue to lead the charge against
these unscrupulous practices this tax
season.
Last year, the Maryland Comptrollers
office stopped accepting income tax returns from 61 companies doing business in
68 locations, including 23 different Liberty
Tax Service franchises, for submitting nu-
merous highly suspicious returns. Collectively, they filed thousands of state returns
that the agency believed to be fraudulent.
Processing of business tax returns began
Jan. 6.
The 2016 tax return filing deadline this
year, which coincides with the IRS deadline, is Tuesday, April 18, rather than the
traditional April 15 deadline which falls on
a Saturday this year. Since Emancipation
Day is observed on April 17 in the District
of Columbia, the IRS pushed the filing
deadline to Tuesday April 18. Taxpayers are
encouraged to file their returns electronically for the fastest possible processing of
their claims and to ensure they receive all
possible refunds. A list of approved vendors for use in filing your electronic return
can be found at www.marylandtaxes.com.
Free state tax assistance is available at all
of the agencys 12 taxpayer service offices,
Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30
p.m. A list of office locations can be found
at www.marylandtaxes.com.
For more information on any tax-related
matter, please visit the Comptrollers website at www.marylandtaxes.com or call

options for customers planning their visit.
Customers preparing trips to Marylands
vast network of 72 state parks will be able
to make reservations for over 2,500 campsites, 38 cabins, picnic shelters and other
lodging options beginning in April 2017.
Customers can continue to make reservations on the former provider whileCAMIS
transitions users to its own easy-to-use
website.
CAMIS has produced a robust, flexible,
scalable campground reservation system

forward to expanding our presence in the
stateand providing unparalleled customer
service to Maryland citizens and tourists,
alike.

Staff Writer
A county judge has kept a man accused

of setting an apartment on re in Lexington
Park last week with a child inside in local
incarceration on attempted murder charges.
Marcus Donnell Rogers, who police
said in charging documents was a longtime user of the powerful narcotic PCP,
also faces charges of child abuse, reckless
endangerment, malicious burning, false
imprisonment, malicious destruction of
property and second degree assault in the
alleged incident that took place at the Fox
Chase apartment complex January 11.
Deputies arrived on the scene to nd
a witness, who said that the victim in the
case had been assaulted and threatened
by Rogers.
The names of the victims in the case
have been shielded by court order.
The victim told police that Rogers had
shut her wrist in the oven door of the apartment but she was able to get it out before
she was burned.
Police used a key to get into the apartment where Rogers had ensconsed himself
he refused to open the door, police said

and immediately found that the apartment was full of smoke and a strong odor of
burning was immediately evident, charging documents read.
Ofcers cleared the apartment and were
able to make contact with the remaining
victim inside a locked room who said they
were not alone; the victim was able to get
out but as they came out ofcers saw Rogers reach for the victim, possibly to pull the
victim back in.
Rogers slammed the door shut after ofcers pulled the victim to safety; the door
slammed on a deputys hand, causing
an injury.
Ofcers interviewed the victims and
found that Rogers had taken their cell
phones in an attempt to keep them from
contacting police and that Rogers had
told the female victim that she was going
to hell, court papers stated.

CSM Travel-study opportunities

include Belize, Scotland and Ireland
Its one thing to read or hear about an archaeological or historic site; its another to
be able to see it, experience related culture
and get the holistic experience that only
comes with being there.
The College of Southern Maryland believes in the power of immersive experiences that foster deeper learning and understanding. CSMs travel-study program,
where students travel to other states or other countries to tour castles, work at a camp
for children with serious illnesses, snorkel
in the Caribbean Sea or study ancient ruins, is designed to provide those kinds of
opportunities. If attending college does
what it is supposed to, it is a transformative
agent in students lives, said CSM Professor Paul Billeter. Nothing I do as a professor transforms my students lives as much
as travel study.
Current opportunities for CSM students
include trips to Belize, Ireland, Florida and
Scotland. There is limited registration and
the 2017 trips to Scotland and Florida are
full. However, there is still room to sign up
for the Belize and Ireland trips, though a
Jan. 20 deadline is approaching for those
students who would like to sign up for the
Belize trip.
Oh, my gosh! It was the best time of my
life, said CSM student Melana Krivitsky
of Newburg, who went on the CSM Belize
trip in both 2014 and 2015. It denitely
broadened my experience with other cultures. It made me more willing and enthusiastic to learn more about the marine
environment.
This March will mark the 14th year of
CSMs Belize Travel program. Participating students can enroll in two courses tailored for this travel program, which include
both online preparation and in-country
exposure to the marine environment and
the study of the cultures of Belize. The rst
three days of the March 17-26 trip, led by

CSM Professor Carolin McManus, are dedicated to exploring archaeological evidence
of ancient Mayan sites near the small town
of San Ignacio. McManus said students
can climb millennial-old temples, sample
freshly ground chocolate and traverse the
underworld via Actun Tunichil Muknal, a
phenomenal, sacred cave system that has
been featured in National Geographic and
Discovery Channel specials.
It is a rare privilege to introduce students to a region of the world not many of
us get to experience rsthand. Belizes indigenous history with its overlay of Spanish, British and African-Caribbean groups
has created an unbeatable living cultural
classroom, McManus said.
After a short ight in small planes
from Belize City, the CSM group arrives on
the island of Ambergris, located adjacent
to the worlds second largest barrier reef
system. There Billeter and staff from the
Tropical Research and Education Center
introduce students to an array of marine
ecosystems populated by colorful corals, sponges and sh. While snorkeling in
the clear, warm waters, students have the
chance to photograph and learn to identify
the myriad species for a cooperative, group
project in the marine biology course.
Of all the courses I have taught and activities I have assigned in my 43 years of
teaching for CSM, taking students to Belize and watching them interact with the
natural environment in person is the best
thing I do, Billeter said.

Ex-NBA Star to Speak

in St. Marys County
Nationally, young adults (age 18 to 25)
are the biggest abusers of prescription opioid pain relievers, ADHS stimulants, and
anti-anxiety drugs. In 2014, more than 1700
young adults died from prescription drug
overdoses. And locally, 59% of middle and
high school students have used alcohol in the
last 30 days, with 20% before age 13, and
32% claim to be currently using.
Former Boston Celtic and NBA legend
Chris Herren will be the featured speaker in
local presentations on drug addiction during National Drug and Alcohol Facts Week,
January 22-28, 2017.
In 1999, Chris Herren realized a lifelong
dream to play in the NBA when he was
drafted by the Denver Nuggets. However,
even before he began his professional career,
he had a history of substance abuse. After his
rookie year, Herren was traded to the Boston
Celtics, and within a few years, he had lost
it all. Over time, with a great effort, he was
able to re-focus his life. Alcohol and drugfree since 2008, Herren has since become a
noted addiction speaker.
In a very personal and raw presentation,
Herren tells the brutally honest story of his
descent into addiction, his remarkable recov-
ery, and the new

path that is allowing him to make a
difference in others lives. Now he
travels the Country telling his poignant story in the
hope that he will
be able to reach
just one person
and save them
from the trenches of substance
abuse. St. Marys
Herren
County Public
Schools, St. Marys County Sheriffs Office
and St. Marys County Department of Aging
& Human Services have partnered in bringing this inspiring event to our community.
When the St. Marys County Sheriffs
Office approached us with this, we recognized how important it is for our students
to hear Chris Herrens message, says Scott
Smith, Superintendent of St. Marys County
Public Schools. We need to seize any opportunity available to educate our students
about the consequences of drug misuse and
abuse. Chris Herrens story has an impact on

his audience that will resonate for years to
come. Our kids need to hear it and I am confident Chris will get their attention.
This program not only benefits students
but their families as well, adds Sheriff Tim
Cameron. This is a continuation of our prevention efforts in St. Marys County and we
are pleased to be able to add Chris Herrens
intimate point of view to the ongoing conversation surrounding alcohol and drug abuse,
and the impact it has on families.

Conference victory over Southern Virginia
University behind solid ball control.
How It Happened
St. Marys turned the ball over only a season-low nine times in ending its longest skid
of the season.
The Knights gained control of the game
early on and established their biggest lead of the
game by a 16-8 margin following a 12-1 run.
Southern Virginia maintained the lead
until the 3:14-minute mark when junior

Marys then closed out the half on a 7-0 run
to stake a 33-24 halftime lead.

Va./W.T. Woodson) led all scorers at intermission with 12 points behind a pair of
three-pointers and 5-of-6 shooting. In addition, the Seahawks tallied 10 points off of
11 Southern Virginia miscues and boasted a
22-18 rebounding margin.
St. Marys flew past the Knights in the
second half as the Seahawks broke open
the game with a 29-11 run to start the final
20 minutes and led by 27 halfway through
thehalf.
The Seahawks were able to capitalize on Southern Virginias mistakes once
again, this time recording 17 points off of
13turnovers.
Inside the Box Score
Ayoub finished the afternoon with a
game- and season-best 19 points on 6-of-9
shooting, including a trio of triples, while
grabbing a season-high four rebounds as
well. This is Ayoubs seventh consecutive
game scoring in double digits.
Smith put up 17 points behind 7-of-12
shooting while adding four boards and
threesteals.

The Hoggle Children
Out Of Sight But Not Out Of Mind

By Dave Spigler
Feature Story Writer
With Contributions from Guy Leonard
The disappearance of Sarah and Jacob

Hoggle from their home in Clarksburg,
MD 28 months ago remains a mystery.
Their father believes it is possible they are
being hidden in a remote farm in Southern
Maryland or elsewhere in the region. Most
tips with scant pieces of evidence to their
whereabouts have completely dried up. All
efforts to locate these two beautiful children have come up empty despite many follow ups by police, private detectives, social
service agencies, volunteer groups, friends,
neighbors and family.
Thousands of dollars in advertising and
immense media coverage of this situation
have had no results or answers to what became of this four-year-old and six-year-old
brother and sister. There has been absolutely no evidence that these kids are dead and
there is no way their father Troy Turner or
their maternal grandmother Lindsey Hoggle are willing to give up their search.
It is often said the most tragic event a
parent can go through is to bury their child.
But, to better understand the nightmare
Troy and Lindsey are going through, imagine what it must be like to wake up each
morning for nearly two-and-a-half years
and not know where your children are or
what became of them! It is worse than a
nightmare as there is no closure for either
of them.
A quick review of the circumstances in
this peculiar case; the childrens 30-yearold mother Catharine Hoggle left home
twice in September, 2014 with one child
in tow only to return without them. When
questioned by their father about where they
were, she would only reveal they were in
a safe place. After much pleading, Troy

convinced her they needed to go to the local police to prepare a Missing Persons
report. On the way to see the police, Catharine asked to stop at a fast food store to
get a soft drink and slipped out a side door
without his knowledge. She went missing
for four days before she was found and arrested and placed in jail. The facts of where
she went are murky at best. Despite all attempts by Troy and Lindsey and the authorities to learn more about her children, she
never provided any additional information
other than they are in a safe place.
Soon she was officially charged with
Sarah and Jacobs disappearance, but before she could be brought to trial or submit to a lie detector test, she was ordered
to undergo a thorough mental examination
to determine her competency to appear in
court. The medical team
that examined her determined she was a paranoid schizophrenic in
addition to being bipolar, and they declared she
was mentally incompetent to stand trial. She was
institutionalized at the
Clifton T. Perkins facility
in Jessup, near Baltimore.
Initial reports are that she
made several attempts to
escape with the excuse
he wanted to be with her
children. She also was
not taking her medication
as prescribed and was not
cooperative with the staff.
Early interviews with Troy and Lindsey and others involved in her treatment
were inconclusive about her veracity and
honesty. Most were unsure if she had the
ability or the capacity to rationalize and be
able to deal with reality. She is reportedly
a bright and intelligent woman, but despite
some who felt that she had a calculating
deceptiveness, those familiar with her interactions with her children indicated they
always were good. There is considerable
doubt that her taking her children from
the home was impulsive or unplanned. She
was estranged from their dad at the time
and had decided on a plan to provide her
children with a better life than she was able
to provide. It is still unclear if she took
these drastic actions to get back at Troy or
her mother Lindsey for whatever reason.
There were some initial reports of tension
and frustration, but it is yet to be determined if this played into the situation.
The Hoggle Kids story captured the
imagination of the citizens in Montgomery County when it first broke. Several
police and fire jurisdictions and local organized volunteer teams conducted a massive
search of places within a determined radius
of the Hoggle home where the children
could have been taken. This initial search
used approximate times Catharine was out
of the house with each child. There were
many door-to-door searches. Many interviews were conducted and every tip was
investigated completely to no avail. The
news media in the Washington, DC and
Baltimore markets provided considerable
publicity. Troy has granted hundreds of
video and radio interviews about the status
of the many efforts used to locate his chil-

asked us to help him in his drive to locate

his children. He felt it is well within the
realm of reason his kids could be on one
of the many farms in the rural parts of the
Tri- County area.
In speaking with the father earlier, he
stated they did not concentrate a lot of effort here in the southern part of the state
to get the word out as they were focused
on Montgomery, Frederick and the more
northern nearby counties. Over time as
his efforts continue to come up empty, his
frustrations and desires to leave no stone
untouched in getting the word out continue
to grow.
Calvert Sheriff Mike Evans said he is familiar with the case but does not know of
any connection locally.
To my knowledge we have no information that theyd be in Calvert, Evans said.
Of course if we had any tips wed follow
up on them.
We just passed the third Christmas Season not knowing where these children are.
And a hearing to allow Catharine to appear
in court was turned back once more on December 21st. The next appeal to the court is
planned in April.
If you see a child that may resemble one
of these two youngsters, please go to ndsarahndjacob.com or call the Montgomery County Police at 240 773-5070. It only
takes that one person to report what they
see that can solve this horrible dilemma for
this father and their grandmother.
dren. He has hired many private investigators to follow up leads and to keep the story
of his missing children fresh in the minds
of the public. These efforts have cost him
as much as $5,000 a month and he has had
to have fundraisers and appeals for donations to nance ongoing searches. Yet the
children are still missing after all this time.
One cannot help but query what else can
be done to locate these kids, especially with
so much help having been engaged in this
search. One of the current thoughts of what
may have happened to Sarah and Jacob is
Catherine placed her kids with families in
a rural area of Maryland or a nearby state
so that their true identities would not be
known. She may have had an ability to
plead with a family to help her until she
was in a better position to care for them.
And she was sufciently conniving to have
them promise they would never go public
with the information. Many folks believe
the children are still alive as they cannot
believe or just refuse to feel Catharine was
capable of harming her kids.
Recently, this story became front page
news once more with the release of time
progression pictures prepared by professional artists. They attempted to determine
as accurately as humanly possible the facial
appearance of what Sarah and Jacob would
look like 28 months later. As you see, these
are beautiful kids who might be easy to
spot in the right situation. Over the past
six months, The County Times has taken
the lead in keeping their plight alive here
in Southern Maryland since Troy personal

To Everything There Is A Season
On 20 Jan, 2017 America will entrust

her leadership to the newly incoming 45th
President of these United Sates, Donald J. Trump and Vice President Michael
R. Pence. Historically, this is a time of
ceremony, pomp, excitement and active
participation among Americans from all
walks of life. This, is our peaceful transition of power performed in our Nations
Capitol, Washington, D.C. Millions of
those not on hand to partake of the festivities will be watching the events unfold on
live TV. What an event, and what a time
to celebrate Old Glory as we excitedly rally
around the new president and vice president of these United States in anticipation
of a new beginning.
Theres a time and place for everything,
a time to laugh and a time to cry and myriad other acts besides. That said, some of
notable authority suggest the illegitimacy
of the election and will boycott the celebration. However, sadly, there is mounting
extreme dissatisfaction expressed in unbelievable degrees, some, to include outright
hate, on the part of an estimated 700,000
Americans dissatised with the election results. Its all too frequent in internet posts
and continues on as the pressing agenda of
Hollywood make-believe super elitists via
their seemingly endless anti Trump presentations. Among the dissenters to be on
hand are outright anarchists identied as
Disrupt J20 seeking to paralyze Washington and sour the parade and various balls,
in concert with forcing the swearing-in
ceremony inside. Such crowds will demonstrate their total disrespect for the rights
of other fellow Americans, many with their
children, seeking but to enjoy the festivities
and record a part of history. Not only do
they disrespect the new leadership of this
nation, but often spit on or burn our Stars
and Stripes and scoff at the rule of law.
The First Amendment grants planned ordinary dissenters and rent a protesters the
right to so assemble at this gathering. They
have the right to march, carry signs, blow
their bull horns, shout, curse, smoke their
weed, jump up and down turn themselves
around and do the hokey pokey till they
knock themselves out. Its all in order and
makes for good TV.
However, not inherent in their rights is
authorization for said die hard sad sacks to
disrupt ceremonies and planned festivities,

to impede trafc, to prevent others from
moving about on their free will, to spit on
people, to threaten people, to physically assault people, to break out store front glass,
to start res, to jump up and down on cop
cars and/or smack horses used in crowd
management. Nor do these intended miscreants have any right to otherwise damage
public property nor government property
under any conditions. And any damaged
property must be paid for by those so responsible, no more taxpayer or insurance
claims serving but to lead back to the taxpayers footing the bill.
Its time America be blessed in law enforcement and security with real men like
Sheriff David Clarke and Lt Col Allen
West, those fully capable of getting a grip
on mayhem further intended for this nation. And while such will not be the case
for this event, surely, others will follow in
due time and their type of oversight is sorely needed. This country has enough to be
concerned with regarding possible planned
terrorist attacks, rogue nations seeking
to test our will and possible specic acts
aimed at our new administration, family
members and cabinet members.
The intended actions about to occur during this historically renowned celebration
are altogether out of line, peaceful or otherwise. Like him or no, this new president
should be afforded the same common courtesy as his predecessor(s) and the Presidential Inauguration should not be marred
thusly serving but to signal and embolden
our adversaries that we are a weak and obviously divided nation of ingrates and malcontents pleased to ght among ourselves.
Theres plenty of time after the swearing-in to complain and deride Trumps
plans for this nation and subsequent accomplishments. Come on, lets tighten-up
Americans, deplorables, irredeemables,
haters and others. Together, E Pluribus
Unum, lets now shed our circular ring
squad and self loathing and rally around
and honor Old Glory and respect the ofce of the President of the United States, if
not, our 48th Inauguration Ceremony and
incoming President Donald J. Trump and
Michael R. Pence, others... And may God
bless America again...
Remembering 2009
I would like to have the opportunity to

respond to Congressman Hoyers article titled, Hoyer Warns of Problems with Obamacare Repeal. In this article Hoyer makes
an appeal to avoid scrapping Obamacare,
and offers the following, instead, the new
Republican Congress and next administration ought to sit down with Democrats and
with stakeholders from across our nations
health care system. This is a radical attitude adjustment for Hoyer who, along with
Speaker Pelosi, used their super majority
advantage to get the unpopular bill passed
before the huge document could even be
read. The image of Congressman Hoyer
walking beside Nancy Pelosi carrying a
huge gavel, conveying the message that we
will beat you down, and get this passed,
GOP be damned is still fresh in my mind.
So what has changed? Besides the loss
of the White House, the Democratic Party
has lost a huge number of elected positions
under President Obamas watch, and now
at a low point, which they have not known
since the Reconstruction period. In Con-
gress, seventy seats have been lost and over

900 across the country, giving Republicans
56 percent of the countrys 7,383 legislative
seats. This is the price Democrats have
paid for passing a bill, which Hoyer helped
to craft, and is collapsing under its own
weight. But will this train wreck change
Hoyers tactics?
Hoyer would have been wise to have
worked with Republicans eight years ago
on healthcare reform. Instead he toed the
party line, and showed once again that he
is more of a follower than a leader. I expect little will change as long as Pelosi has
the helm. One would think the Democratic
Party leadership would associate their losses at the polls with the laws they enacted,
like Obamacare.
Time will tell if a more humble Hoyer is
willing to work with the Trump administration. My expectation is that little will
change. Let us hope for the sake of our
country that it does.

Reforming Marylands Pretrial Bail

System is the topic of a panel discussion
scheduked for the at the Prince Frederick
Campus of the College of Southern Maryland (CSM).
Marylands Pretrial Bail System often
sends people to jail to await trial based on
poverty rather risk of not attending their
trial, according to the events organizers. Attendees can nd out what changes
would be more fair to poor and minority
people, keep our communities safe, and
save taxpayer funds, they say.
Phillip Caroom, a retired Maryland
judge and member of the executive com-
mittee of Maryland Alliance for Justice Reform (MAJR), will discuss needed reforms
on Thursday, January 19, at 7 p.m. in Room
119, College of Southern Maryland, in
Prince Frederick. He will be joined by the
Calvert County Public Defender, Fred Lester. They will address possible proposed
legislation for the 2017 Maryland General

Winter Turkey Hunting Season to Open

Turkeys Can be Harvested Statewide
Jan. 19-21
Marylands winter turkey hunting season
will be open Jan. 19-21 statewide, allowing
hunters that didnt bag a turkey in the fall
another opportunity.
The season was established in 2015 to
provide hunters an opportunity to harvest turkeys outside the traditional spring
season.
Our states turkey population is healthy
and continues to grow in nontraditional
areas, said Wildlife and Heritage Service
Director Paul Peditto. This additional
hunting season provides another great opportunity to get outdoors during a time of
year when other popular hunting seasons
are closed.
Maryland hunters can use the following
weapons during the winter turkey season:
Airbows,
Crossbows and vertical bows and
Shotguns loaded with a No. 4 shot
or smaller.
Hunting hours are from a half-hour before sunrise to a half-hour after sunset.
The bag limit is one turkey of either sex.
Hunters who already bagged a turkey in the
fall season may not harvest one in the winter. Please remember that it is illegal to hunt
turkeys with the aid of bait.
Hunters may check in their harvests via
phone at 888-800-0121, online or via
the Maryland Department of Natural Resources mobile app.

In 1999, Chris Herren realized a lifelong
dream to play in the NBA when he was
drafted by the Denver Nuggets. However,
even before he began his professional career, he had a history of substance abuse.
After his rookie year, Herren was traded to
the Boston Celtics, and within a few years,
he had lost it all. Over time, with a great
effort, he was able to re-focus his life. Alcohol and drug-free since 2008, Herren has
since become a noted addiction speaker.

Pet of the Week
Meet Emmy
Emmy is about one and a half years

old. She hides under a blanket when I
take her to Petco because it is so frightening for her.
I dont think she has much of a
chance of being adopted by bringing
her to Petco.
I am hoping that someone will foster
to adopt her. You would fill out an application and once approved, you could
take her home for a month.
This wouldgive her a chance to trust
you and you will see how sweet she is.
She loves to be near me. She loves
to be petted and to sleep with me. She
will sometimes actually follow me to
the bathroom so I will pet her. She
wasnt like this at first. It took about
three or four weeks for her to warm up

but once she did, she is very sweet.
She has a reddish tinge going through
her fur which makes it beautiful.
I hope you will considering Emmy
as a possible companion.
You can fill out an application at
www.feralcatrescuemd.organd email
it to diane@feralcatrescuemd.org
PS If you would like to foster any of
our cats either to possibly adopt them
or to help us fine homes please contact

The weather outside is frightful.
Thats alright. Youd rather stay inside
anyhow, especially in the evening. Thats
prime relaxation-time, and winter is a
great season for catching up on all youve
DVRed for the past few weeks but where
do you start? How about with two books:
Television: A Biography by David
Thomson and TV (The Book) by Alan
Sepinwall and Matt Zoller Seitz.
Once upon a time, TVs were turned on
manually. Youd then (also manually) dial
up one of three available channels (more,
if you were very lucky) and you settled in

(Not too close! Youll ruin your eyes!) to
watch programming in black-and-white.
In 1949, a TV set cost roughly 10 percent
of the average U.S. salary - and yet, we
couldnt get enough of it.
In Television: A Biography, Thomson
looks at the different kinds of fare with
which weve entertained ourselves through
the decades. Movies gave us the cliffhanger, for example, but television rened
the until-next-week craze with shows like
The Fugitive and, later, with Dallas and its
spin-offs.
Here, we read about how many of Hollywoods biggest stars made their transition
to the small-screen; how talk shows became
so popular; how innovators changed the
way we watch TV, and why crime shows
will never, ever go away.
This book, remember, is a biography.

Yes, youll nd a bit of history inside Television: A Biography, and a few opinions
but its really nothing like you might expect
in a book about TV. Its actually better.
But okay, say you want a book about the
shows themselves. What do you think is the
best television show ever? A little bit of argument is inside TV (The Book).
Under a wide group of genre umbrellas,
Sepinwall and Seitz debate which series top
their lists, based on a points-system that
takes innovation, performance, consistency,
inuence, and storytelling into account, as
well as when the show was at its absolute
best. They considered U.S. shows only;
and looked at narrative ction, rather than
reality shows, childrens programming, or
talk shows. And aside from a few obvious
programs that should be on every Best Of
list (The Honeymooners and The Twilight
Home &
Advertise in our
Zone, for example), they mostly focused on

television from the 1980s.
Whats fun about this book is that the authors dissect the programs as only fans can:
there are quotes ung about in each chapter,
along with serious examinations of why we
can put The Simpsons in front of The Sopranos (or not); why we so loved a show with
a black comic heart and shallow characters; how M*A*S*H lasted longer than the
war it was ostensibly about; and why South
Park got more points than Taxi. And if your
favorite show isnt in this book, theres a
reason for that. Read on
In fact, while it might seem counterintuitive to read about something youre
supposed to be watching, you can do two
things at once, you know. Look for Television: The Biography and TV (The Book)
and settle in. Both are frightfully good.

The Norris Brothers

Joseph Walter Norris, 1869-1948 and
James Judson (aka Jetson) Norris, 18741929, were the sons of James Alexander
Norris and his wife Mary C. Mattingly. Once inseparable--living together as
youngsters, farming together, owning a
store together, and living as neighbors after
marriage -- would end when they appear to
have had a falling out, undoubtedly involving money, about 1917. The rift between
them would never be healed and ended
when Walter shot and killed Judson.
Held As Slayer Of His Brother. J. W.
Norris Accused of Shooting Judson J. Norris Near Leonardtown. Old Quarrel Alleged. Differences Which Developed 12
Years Ago Estranged Pair Formerly Inseparable. Leonardtown, Md., Oct. 4.
Differences said by the county ofcials
to have existed between two brothers for
twelve years ended this afternoon when
J. Walter Norris, 60, a farmer at Yankee
Point, near here, was accused of shooting
and killing Judson J. Norris, 55, in the formers home, the brothers being well known
throughout St. Marys County.
A coroners jury summoned by Valley
Greenwell, justice of the peace and coroner of Hollywood district, tonight met in
a room where the shooting took place and
charged J. Walter Norris with the crime. He
remained in the custody of the Sheriff at his
house.
Friendship Proverbial. Until twelve years
ago the friendship existing between the two
men was proverbial in this district. Parents
frequently pointed them out as examples
for their offspring to follow in brotherly
affection. Then came the quarrel which
separated them. Nobody tonight could say
what the basis of the dispute was, although
the early friendship and the quarrel were
reviewed at the coroners inquest.
The brothers operated a store at the time.
Their interests in the store and farm were
divided and the brothers went their differ-

ent ways. It was testied their only intercourse since then was to quarrel at different periods.
Goes To Brothers Home. Judson Norris today went to his brothers home, adjacent to his own, and it, was said, Judson
accused Walter of attempting to entice
Parran Goldsborough, a young farmhand, from his employ. Walter entered his
home, it was testied, and warned Judson
not to follow him. Judson, however, followed his brother into the house, it was
testied, and in a few moments the shot
was red.
Dr. Francis F. Greenwell, who was
summoned, pronounced Judson dead.
Among the witnesses at the inquest was

Judson Norris, Jr., a son of the dead man.
Young Norris told the coroners jury that
he heard the shot and ran into the house.
His father, he said, was then standing by
the door and his uncle clutched a pistol.
His father fell a moment later, he declared. (Baltimore Sun, October 5, 1929).
On October 5 Walter posted bond in
the amount of $3,000. A brief hearing was
held on October 9. Evidence showed that
Jetson had an open knife in his pocket
when he entered Walters house and on
that basis it was determined that Walter
acted in self-defense.
Oh no, the teenage years!

We have noticed in the last few weeks or
so that Mindy is not interested in her dog
food, well, other than using the pieces as
playthings to throw around all over the
house. Maybe it is the types of dog food.
Though this has happened a few times now.
We even try adding warm water to make
gravy like in the old Gravy Train commercials she does eat this up a lot quicker.
The current bag is nished, so we bought
another kind once again making sure that
they are brands made in the USA because
of the concerns from a few years ago about
certain foreign processed brands. Mindy
doesnt seem to like the new kind either, but
greedily and frantically eats all the weeds,
grass, leaves, and owers she can gobble
outside. Hmmmshe seems healthy and
happy. I realize she may just be bored with
the same food day after day just as we
would. I could eat spaghetti every day and
did as a pre-teen for a long time.
Weve decided that Mindy must be
vegan. I dont know if this is a teenage
phase or something she will outgrow, but
according to WebMD/Healthy Pets If you
own a dog, youve heard this rule: 1 year for
Fido equals 7 years for you. Turns out, the
math isnt that simple. Dogs mature more
quickly than we do early on. So the rst
year of your fuzzy friends life is equal to
about 15 human years. Just as I thought!!
We are in the teenage rebellion years, plus
she is a girl and already VERY stubborn
just like her father. Okay, I know all you
pet-lovers out there refer to yourself and
spouse/partner as mommie and daddy or
mom and dad too.
All the greenery doesnt bother her, I
guess its okay then. When Mindy gets near
the poison ivy vines I make her get away.
My oldest brother used to eat it and it didnt
bother him, but I dont want Mindy giving
me kisses when I dont know what she has
eaten. I should worry anyway I suppose, as
I fondly remember my father saying to me,

youre gonna let that dog kiss you after
it might have licked its hind parts? Yes,
Daddy, doesnt bother me. My mother had
so many dogs that there was always a good
chance that one had a clean mouth.
Id appreciate any ideas on this **, although Mindy will be up for her one year
appointment within the next two weeks and
I will ask the vet then about her strange behavior. I am starting to wonder what might
be growing in our yard that makes her so
crazy over the groundcovers. Are wild
strawberry plants a hallucinogenic? It is literally a ght to pull her away at times. Mindy doesnt eat them all the time, but when
she does it looks like Piranhas devouring
prey. And scarily reminiscent of the book,
Lord of the ies.
I am wondering if Mindy is holding
out for wet dog food, or the newer kinds
that come in their own refrigerated section
of the grocery store, or maybe she wants
Rachel Rays gourmet bags of Nutrish dog
food even the name sounds like double
digit dollar signs. What did they feed her at
her rescue? I can tell you that her father is
not going to go for the gourmet dog food. I
might take that back. Mindy does have him
wrapped around her little paw, so gourmet
food could always show up unexpectedly
I guess. In the interests of full disclosure,
mommy might get Mindy a trial bag of
gourmet food. If she doesnt like that, then
Im taking the grass clippers and her bowl
out in the yard!

me password trouble, I appreciate your patience on responses right now.
