Civil Rights Chronicler Dies in Calvert

By Dick Myers
Editor

The words and images from the South awoke the

sleeping rest of the country. One image was particularly
shocking. It was of an open casket. Inside was the body
of 14-year-old Emmett Till, brutally beaten and hanged
in Mississippi, his body weighed down and submerged
in the Tallahatchie River. Till was visiting from Chicago.
His crime speaking to, and thus offending, a white girl.
Those images came from photographer David Jackson.
But the scene was arranged by and the words came from
journalist Simeon Booker, whose decades of work told
the history of violence in the South. In recent years he and
his wife Carol have lived in Calvert County. He died Sun-
day, Dec 10 at the age of 99 at a Solomons assisted-living
facility. He had recently been hospitalized for pneumonia.
Bookers home town was Chicago, and from that base
he worked throughout the South. Booker became the first
full-tine black reporter for the Washington Post, but his
influence in the Civil Rights era came from his position as
bureau chief for Jet and Ebony magazines for more than
50 years. Much of his work during the height of the Civil Simeon Booker at work, from his Facebook page.

Commissioner Pat Nutter
By Dick Myers
Editor
The Calvert County Board of County
Commissioners (BOCC) has approved,
after a seven-year process, the revised sign
regulations for the county. The decision at
the Dec. 12 BOCC meeting came on a
4-1 vote, with Commissioner Pat Nutter
opposing.
The BOCC adopted the proposal pre-
sented to them by the planning commis-
sion, with one exception. At the insistence
of Commissioner Vice President Evan
Slaughenhoupt, Jr., the decision on elec-
tronic signs was delayed for 18 months to
give the county staff a chance to further
investigate options. That decision contin-
ues to keep electronic signs as illegal in
the county. The planners had voted to rec-
ommend their legalization.
Commissioner Mike Hart, who owns
a liquor store in Lusby, said he didnt feel
there was a great demand from businesses
for electronic signs because of their cost.
The regulations as approved by the
BOCC allow temporary signs of up to 20

But, Nutter said the provision could al-

the Supreme Court says, Nutter said.
He also had problems with the section
dealing with window signs. During delib-
erations the planning commission started
with not allowing window signs on more
than 25 percent of the area. They then in-
creased it to 50 percent and in the final
version approved by the BOCC, the win-
dow signs could cover 100 percent.
Nutter said even though the sheriff ex-

In approving the sign regulation chang-

One of the goals of the staff in revising
the sign regulations was to combine them
in one plan location. They are currently
spread out among the various town center

however, do perpetuate the differences in
the regulations among the town centers.
For instance, height and area regulations
differ from town center to town center.

New North Beach Marine Vessel Approved
By Dick Myers
Editor
The Calvert County Board of County Com-
missioners has approved adding $668,600 in the
current capital budget for the purchase of a re-
placement marine vessel for the North Beach
Volunteer Fire Department and Rescue Squad
(NBVFD&RS). The decision came after a public
hearing at the Dec. 12 BOCC meeting at which no
one testified.
According to background information present-
ed to the BOCC by staff: To assist in this deci-
sion process, the Maritime Emergency Response
Group, LLC was contracted to complete a Com-
prehensive Assessment of the Countys Fire-Res-
cue-EMS Maritime Needs and Requirements. On
March 14, 2017 the Comprehensive Assessment
was presented to the BOCC. Using this assess-
ment, the Commissioners directed staff to develop
a strategic plan to consider equipment, training
and financial aspects.
The briefing goes on to say: The Fire and Res-
cue Commission, Department of Public Safety
staff and select Fire and Rescue Association rep-
resentatives held the initial meeting of the Fire-
Rescue-EMS Maritime Strategic Planning Com-
mittee on April 25, 2017. The three main focus
areas are vessel size and configuration, training
requirements and financial procurement as well as
annual operating expenses.

The Angel Tree Program:
Giving Christmas to Needy Families
By Dick Myers
Editor
Six-hundred and forty-six children. Thats how many
needy kids are currently on the list to be recipients of
Christmas presents with Calvert Countys Angel Tree
Program. Jack Woodford of Trinity United Methodist
Church in Prince Frederick is this years coordinator. I
was one of those kids many years ago, Woodford ex-
plains as to why hes involved now.
Woodford is the main liaison with the Calvert
County Department of Social Services, which se-
lects the families to be recipients. And he coordi-
nates a growing list of volunteers, including those
from ten churches and five companies. Just as the
smiling faces of kids receiving Christmas presents
tells the story, the volunteers in this massive com-
munity endeavor get to bank the quiet satisfaction of
helping others at just the right time for it.
In Woodfords case, he was a four-year old in New
York state when his dairy-farmer father had a stroke
right in front of him, leaving his family without any
income at Christmas. He still gets teary-eyed talking
about it so many years later.
The organization that came to his familys res-
cue was Seneca Santa, founded by a group of Wat-
kins Glen, NY businessmen in the 1940s to provide
Christmas gifts to underprivileged children. This
year that organization will be serving 400 children
Calvert Countys version was started in 1982 by
Sean and Robin OConnor who worked at Calvert
Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant. They saw a need,
Woodford explained. More recently Gus Wolf, who
also works at Calvert Cliffs, was the overall coordi-
nator before Woodford.
Each year the Calvert County Department of So-
cial Services (DSS) takes applications from among
their clients. Those applications are screened by a
committee of six DSS staffers, coordinated for the last
four years by Patrice Brooks,
When a family is deemed eligible they are assigned a
number. And, each child is assigned a letter. Their names
are not revealed. The tags are distributed to the churches
and companies, whose volunteers purchase the appropri-
ate clothing and toys for age and sex of the child.
Each child has two tags for toys and one for clothing,
Jack Woodford and Hillary Daley at Trinity United Methodist Church in Prince Frederick.
The Calvert County Times
although some churches do more, Woodford said.
Brooks said the committee decisions go fairly quickly
because the DSS staff are familiar wit their clients and
their families. Sometimes, though, a family that is needy
may not meet the eligibility requirement of receiving a
DSS service. For instance, they may be newly homeless.
In those cases, DSS works with the coordinator to find
someone who can supplement the families that have re-
ceived tags. If someone is really in need, we help them,
Brooks said.
The churches involved this year in the Angel
Tree program are:
All Saints Episcopal Sunderland
Emmanuel UMC Huntingtown
Huntingtown UMC Huntingtown
Mt. Harmony UMC -- Owings But its also fun for them. They love seeing
St. Pauls UMC -- Lusby
Trinity UMC Prince Frederick
St. John Vianney Roman Catholic Church
Prince Frederick
Jesus the Divine Word Roman Catholic
Church Huntingtown
Jesus the Good Shepherd Roman Catholic
Church -- Owings
Saint Nicholas Lutheran Church
Huntingtown
Companies participating this year are:
SMECO
Constellation/CCNPP
Kids Corner Learning Center
Dominion, Cove Point Gas Plant
United Way of Calvert County
Brooks has taken on the Angel Tree coordination as a
collateral duty from her regular responsibilities at DSS.
And, this time of year, she takes home last-minute Angel
Tree work. That includes calls from volunteers who have
questions about age or sex appropriate gifts. Its a lot of
work, but its all good, she said.
One of the Angel Tree volunteers is Barbara Sprether,
coordinator for Emmanuel United Methodist Church in
At the fairgrounds last year.
Feature 11
Huntingtown. I have done it at Emmanuel for quite a few
years, she said; when the former coordinator stepped
down she stepped up to the plate. Her church is providing
gifts for 25 children and 50 tags this year. It allows us to
help someone who otherwise wouldnt have a Christmas.
Sprethers husband will be helping out this year at the
fairgrounds. Up to this week the churches and companies
have been collecting the presents at their own locations.
Those unwrapped presents are delivered this week to the
fairgrounds for sorting and in preparation for the families
descending there to pick up the presents. This year
that will happen on Saturday, Dec. 16.
Hillary Daley of All Saints Episcopal Church in
Sunderland is an example of volunteers who make
it a family affair. Daleys two children, aged nine
and 11,ve become totally engaged in the opportu-
nity to give during the holiday season.
what other kids are asking for. They know its a
real kid, she said.
If a receiving family agrees, Brooks said it is
possible for the gift donor to meet with them to see
in person who they have helped.
Volunteers sometimes have to deal with the per-
ception that some of the families receiving pres-
ents may not be deserving. They see them drive up
to the fairgrounds in expensive cars. But Brooks
points out that perception may not be reality --
those cars may not be theirss, they may belong to
a neighbor or friend.
But Brooks does admit that some of the recipi-
ents may believe they are entitled to more. But she
said those are a very small number compared to
the many who are grateful for what they are get-
ting. The excitement at the fairgrounds is evidence
enough of that gratitude.
Speaking of the fairgrounds, Woodford points
out that they can always use extra help with dis-
tributing the gifts. So, if anyone would like to volunteer,
just show up at the fairgrounds on Saturday, Dec. 16. Be
there at 8 a.m. and cone prepared to work.

A Holiday Wish With
A Dash Of Sports
There are
these weird,
explanation de-
fying moments
in life when,
considering all
facts and cir-
cumstances
the place, the
company and how it and they make you
feel you conclude that you are, somehow
and some way, in exactly the place where
the governing cosmic forces have deter-
mined you should be.
Such occasions can be powerful, piv-
ot points in life the day you met your
spouse or the employment tip that led to
a fulfilling career; others are more modest
and simply fascinating for the sheer, un-
imaginable coincidence (or is it just that?).
Regardless, when pondering the series of
predecessor events that put you there, with
these fine people, at that precise instant, it
baffles the mind.
Consider a few famous intersections of
people and places.
Paul McCartney and John Lennon
met through Ivan Vaughan, McCartneys
classmate. Vaughan invited McCartney
to check out a summer gig of The Quar-
rymen, a local Liverpool band with Len-
non on guitar. That was July 1957. Seven
years later Lennon, McCartney, George
Harrison and Ringo Starr The Beatles
- were performing on The Ed Sullivan
Show. Pity those other Quarrymen
Four years after Lennon and McCart-
neys introduction, two teenage acquain-
tances randomly met while waiting for a
train. One happened to have Chuck Berry
and Muddy Waters records under his arm.
This led to a conversation about Ameri-
can blues for which they had separately
developed an affinity and prompted the
other to invite the owner of the rare vinyl
gold over for a joint listen. And thats how
Mick Jaggers records landed on Keith
Richards turntable in 1961. The Rolling
Stones are still going strong.
There are endless, mind-blowing exam-
ples like these. Steve Jobs and Steve Woz-
niak were introduced through a mutual
friend, Bill Fernandez. And how about a
few from the sports world (since sports is
why you started reading this drivel)? How
did Tom Brady, California native, end up
attending the University of Michigan, fall-
The Calvert County Times Sports 19
ing to the sixth round of the NFL Draft
and landing in New England with Bill
Belichick? Tell me karmic forces didnt
influence the absolutely perfect marriage
of player, style and team when Larry Bird
and Magic Johnson were drafted by the
Celtics and Lakers, respectively.
Keeping it local, consider the truth-is-
stranger-than-fiction stories of Cal Ripken
and John Riggins. The former grows up
somdbmx.com
in Aberdeen, is drafted by the Orioles,
For Full Schedule Go To Races on Tuesdays & Thursdays
plays for his dad and with his brother and
eventually becomes the greatest player in
Orioles history. The latter skips the 1980
season, is coaxed back in 1981 by rookie
head coach Joe Gibbs and ends up win- 26600 BUDDS CREEK RD MECHANICSVILLE, MD 20659
ning a Super Bowl and in the Pro Football
Hall of Fame.
Those are all massive, planet-tilting col-
lisions of spectacular forces. But we all
have our own life-altering moments or
more subtle experiences that land us in
ideal situations with just the right people
in just the right circumstance at just the
right time.
Heres one of my own. My wife and
I were in New Orleans recently. While
touring the New Orleans Jazz Museum,
we happened upon a picture of Mahalia
Jackson and Duke Ellington. Several
years ago she bought me a beautiful copy
of Duke Ellingtons 1958 album Black,
Brown and Beige featuring Mahalia
Jackson. As we admired the picture, I
reminded her of that treasured Christmas
gift and, wouldnt you know, as we turned
to leave that record was proudly displayed
in the case centered in the room. Of all
the jazz artists and albumsmy lady and
I stumble on Duke, Mahalia and that spe-
cific record. Cool stuff.
In these examples of wonderful coinci-
dence and its alignment of people, places
and time resides the essence of the holi-
day season: that we all find ourselves in
the company of those we care about most.
And that, despite a tumultuous and divi-
sive year and all of lifes typical chaos,
we are here, togetherright where were
supposed to be during this very special
season. Its my sincere wish that you en-
joy such special moments with those you
cherish most; and let us not forget those
who, because of duty or other challenging
circumstance, do not.
Happy Holidays.

St. Marys City opens a window onto the
past of the mother county of Maryland and
the Christmas season is no exception.
Madrigal dinners, nights of feasting, music
and relight in the reconstructed State House
of 1676 are hosted at the historic city each
year and give attendees a glimpse of what
holiday feasting was like in the 1600s.
In the colony, madrigal dinners got their
start when delicacies arrived with the tobacco
eet towards the end of the year, according to
information from the historic city.
Cool weather signaled time for butchering
meat and decanting beverages that had fer-
mented since the harvest.
At the dinners, guests are treated to a roar-
ing re fed by a yule log, thought at the time
of the colonists to be a harbinger of good for-
tune for the coming year.
The musical tradition at the madrigal din-
ners stems from songs sung of the birth of
Jesus Christ in Bethlehem thousands of years
ago, especially for those who were not able
to read.
Modern day guests at the dinners are treat-
ed to all the amenities of their counterparts
from yesteryear, with wassail and appetizers
above stairs and the dinner taking place in the
Great Hall on the rst oor.
Reservations are required.

Chesapeake Beach Railway Museum
Presents Special
Holiday Events
Close your eyes for a moment and envi-
sion what it must have been like in Chesa-
peake Beach in the late 1800s. The resort
town had beachfront hotels, a race track,
casino, bathhouse, and beaches, as well as
a 1600-foot entertainment boardwalk built
over the water.
According to the Town of Chesapeake
Beach, Construction of the railway from
Baltimore and Washington began in the late
1800s. On June 9, 1900, the rst train ar-
rived at Chesapeake Beach with a full load
of passengers and much fanfare. The Great
Depression and the automobile brought an
end to the railroad, and on April 15, 1935,
the nal train chugged away from the Ches-
apeake Beach station.
The story of that exciting era is told at the
Chesapeake Beach Railway Museum. Ac-
cording to the town, The site for the Rail-
way Museum was donated in 1979 to the
Calvert County Board of Commissioners by
Gerald and Fred Donovan for $1/year for
99 years.
