Land Preservation Hogan Administration
and Recreation Survey Announces New
Now Open “Maryland OneStop”
The Maryland Department of Natural
Resources invites residents and non-
residents to share their thoughts on land
acquisition, conservation and recreation
in the state by completing the Maryland
Land Preservation and Recreation Plan
Survey.
Individuals who complete the 3-5
minute online survey will be entered
into a random drawing to win Maryland
Park Service day-use passes.
The survey, which includes questions
on outdoor activities, amenities and ser-
vices like camping, fishing and hunting,
helps guide the department’s decision-
making, investments and programming.
Results will be incorporated into
the Land Preservation and Recreation
Plan, which is required to receive fed-
eral funding from the National Park
Service’s Land and Water Conservation
Fund.
“Taking the pulse of our customers,
guests and users is essential to our stra-
tegic development, planning and pri-

oritization goals and needs,” Maryland
Natural Resources Secretary Mark Bel-
ton said. “Are we meeting our custom-
ers’ expectations by providing them ex-
ceptional outdoor recreation opportuni-
ties? Are we shortchanging an evolving
customer base or meeting their need?
Are we spending too much on trail con-
struction and maintenance over histori-
cal interpretation and programming?
These are but a few of the questions we
need your help in answering.”
The survey – a combination of mul-
tiple choice and open-ended questions
– seeks to clarify how people access
and utilize public lands, including state
forests, parks and wildlife management
areas, and if the department is meeting
demands and needs.
In addition to the online survey, the
department has partnered with a con-
tractor to reach potential respondents by
telephone.

Governor Larry Hogan
Signs Rape Survivor
Family Protection Act
Governor Larry Hogan joined Senate
President Thomas V. “Mike” Miller and
Speaker of the House Mike Busch Tues-
day to sign the Rape Survivor Family
Protection Act into law. This new law,
passed with the governor’s vocal sup-
port after nearly a decade of efforts by
advocates, will enable rape victims who
conceive a child to terminate the paren-
tal rights of their rapist. At the outset of
the 2018 session of the Maryland Gen-
eral Assembly, the presiding officers
stated their support for this legislation,
while the governor called on legislators
to act expeditiously and pledged to sign
it the moment it reached his desk.
“Our administration made a commit-
ment to work with legislative leaders to
pass this important and long overdue
legislation, and today, I am proud to
sign this bill into law,” said Governor
Hogan. “No rapist should be allowed to
maintain their rights as a parent, and no
victim should ever be forced to interact
with their attacker. The Rape Survivor
Family Protection Act will ensure just
that.”
Earlier this year, Governor Hogan
announced several proposals to further
protect, support, and empower victims
of crime in Maryland, and the governor
today urged the Maryland General As-
sembly to act on those bills, which are
currently going through the legislative
process.

of 2018 mirrors legislation that was pro-
posed by the governor during the 2017
session and has received bipartisan sup-
port for nearly a decade. The bill allows
courts to admit evidence of a crimi-
nal defendant’s prior history of sexual
crimes or abuse if he or she is prosecut-
ed for subsequent sexual offenses.
In addition, the Hogan administration
has proposed legislation to strengthen
the Maryland “Safe-at-Home” Address
Confidentiality Program to better en-
able victims of domestic violence to
safely purchase a home without fear of
their abuser finding their address. Gov-
ernor Hogan also announced a proposal
to create a new victim services unit
focused on restitution by centralizing
data collection across state agencies that
will act as a one-stop shop for victim
notification and information regarding
restitution.
“We look forward to working with
the legislature in a bipartisan manner to
pass our common sense victims’ right
proposals in order to make Maryland
safer for all of our citizens,” said the
governor.
Since taking office, the Hogan ad-
ministration has demonstrated its com-
mitment to empowering and supporting
victims of crime including convening
the first-ever governor’s statewide vic-
tim services conferences, awarding over
$110 million in federal and state funds
to help victims and organizations, and
serving over 181,000 victims in Mary-
land in the past year alone.

Annual Math Competition
Nearly 200 Middle School Students Compete
The 24th annual regional MATHCOUNTS competi-
tion challenged nearly 200 students from 21 schools
and home-schooled students throughout Southern
Maryland to test their math skills at Calvert Middle
School in Prince Frederick on Saturday, February 3,
2018.
A competitive technological world requires a pro-
ficiency in mathematics as a foundation for success
in science, technology, and engineering. MATH-
COUNTS aims to boost student interest in mathemat-
ics by making the subject challenging and entertain-
ing. Each year, more than 500 regional competitions
are held in middle schools across the country, with
winners advancing to state competitions and then to
the national competition.
The local MATHCOUNTS competition features
rounds of mathematics problems to challenge students
one-on-one and as teams over the course of the three-
hour event. First is the sprint round, a 30-question test
that students complete individually. The competitors
go next to the target round, where they have four sets
of math problems and six minutes to complete each set
of two questions.
In the individual competition, which is based on
combined scores in the sprint and target rounds, Hol-
land Henderson-Boyer from Spring Ridge Middle
School in St. Mary’s County placed first and Emma
Vanden Berg from Milton Somers Middle School in
Charles County placed second.
The top 12 scorers finish the competition by facing
each other in the countdown round, a single-elimina-
tion tournament in which students must respond ver-
bally to questions in a matter of seconds. Ryan Parker
from Calvert Middle School finished first in the count-
down round and Kyle Wojciechowski from Southern
Middle School placed second. Both schools are in Cal-
vert County.
In the team round, foursomes of students answer
10 questions in 20 minutes. In the team competition,
Northern Middle School in Calvert County won first
place; team members included Mara Durham, Jack
MacMillan, Kyle Page, and Aidan Smyth, coached
by Carole Butler. Leonardtown Middle School in St.
Mary’s County placed second; team members included
Caleb Bryan, Ben Dodge, Mika Jones, and Damanjit
Singh, coached by Bernadette Scheetz. Milton Somers
Middle School in Charles County won third place;
team members included Will Alcorn, Rachel Chernoff,
Taylor Peterson, and Emma Vanden Berg, coached by
Jennifer Rowland. The team from Windy Hill Middle
School took fourth place and Plum Point Middle School
took fifth place. Both schools are in Calvert County.
Sponsors for the local MATHCOUNTS competition
are SMECO and the Calvert, Charles, and St. Mary’s
county public schools, with the support of the National
Society of Professional Engineers. Volunteers from
SMECO helped score the tests. Winners of the South-
ern Maryland chapter competition will go on to com-
pete in the statewide contest at Johns Hopkins Univer-
sity in Baltimore. The top four individual competitors
from each state competition receive an all-expenses-
paid trip to the national competition in Washington,
DC, in May.

Helping Little Hearts: More than 400 Hats Donated to

MedStar St. Mary’s in Support of American Heart Month
Mary Cheseldine and Ellen Lewis
A call for red newborn hats at MedStar
St. Mary’s Hospital has resulted in a tre-
mendous turnout.
Through the American Heart Asso-
ciation’s “Little Hats, Big Hearts” cam-
paign, families who welcome
babies at the Women’s Health &
Family Birthing Center in Feb-
ruary will receive a handmade
red hat instead of the traditional
pink or blue. More than 400 caps
have been generously donated by
community members so far.
The special hats are meant to
create awareness of congenital
heart defects during American
Heart Month, plus emphasize the
importance of living a healthy
lifestyle.
“We are humbled by the gen-
erosity of our community,” said
Mary B. Cheseldine, volunteer
services coordinator for MedStar
St. Mary’s. “Hats have been ar-
riving almost daily, and the cre-
ativity and talent are so impres-
sive. These donations ensure that
every child born at the hospital
this month will have a warm red
cap to wear, plus receive valuable
resources for parents.”
“Knitters and crocheters are just the
most loving group of people,” said Ellen
Lewis, owner of Crazy for Ewe in Leon-
ardtown. Lewis’ store served as a drop-
off point for red hats through January,
when she brought more than 80 to the project, especially members of the Fifth
hospital on Feb. 2. Contributions from District Homemakers Club and Crazy for
Crazy for Ewe were donated to honor Ja- Ewe of Leonardtown.

nizes the key role MD 5 plays not only
to the citizens of Leonardtown and
St. Mary’s County, but to all South-

vehicles travel the corridor each day,
a number which is projected to reach
32,000 by 2035.

for more access to the satellite campus-

as MedStar St. Mary’s Hospital and
many other local businesses. Custom-

St. Mary’s Ryken II Transcends
Huntingtown and Northern’s
Hockey to Win Chesapeake Cup
By Zach Hill
Contributing Writer
To go out and upset the top-seeded
Northern High School Patriots in the
playoffs as one of the bottom four teams
in the regular season is a massive feat
in itself.
Coming out and dominating the Pa-
triots by a score of 5-2 would eventu-
ally prove to not be enough satisfaction
for the Knights as they would come out
just as hungry against the Huntingtown
Hurricanes on February 9th at the Capi-
tal Clubhouse in Waldorf.
In the first period alone, the Knights
posted 20 shots with two goals from
Luke Sprague and one goal from David
Hruda.
This showed pure dominance in com-
parison to the Hurricanes who were un-
able to capitalize off of eight shots on
goal and a penalty shot in those first 15
minutes.
The second period was a similar sto-
ry as the Knights continued to run the
table, adding goals from Frank Furtado
and Liam DeLong.
The Hurricanes did manage to prevent
the shutout in this period. Sam Nyman
found the back of the net off of a pass
from Dylan Jenkins to post Hunting-
town’s first and only goal of the game
with 5 minutes and 15 seconds to go in
the second.
The last period would seal Hunting-
town’s fate as St. Mary’s Ryken Captain
Alex Delaney would net his first of the
game with under one minute left, clos-
ing out the game with a final score of
6-1.
“Hard work. Grinding. Not giving
up.” Knights Captain Alex Delaney
explained were major keys to their pro-
gram’s success this game and all season.
“We saw a penalty shot first period,
who knows what could have happened
then. But if they would have scored we
The St. Mary’s Ryken Knights pose with fans after winning the Chesapeake Cup
The County Times
would have came back and fought hard
all game.”
Knights Goalie, Senior Bryce Travers
managed to only allow one goal out of
22 shots(.955) as opposed to Hurricanes
Goalie, Freshman Brody White who
faced 46 shots allowing six goals (.870).
This game marked the first time that
the St. Mary’s Ryken Ice Hockey pro-
gram has won the Chesapeake Cup title
since the decision was made to post mul-
tiple teams back in 2015.
“We have stuck with some of the same
systems we have used for years” Bill-
man said. “We took advantage of what
we have and when you have a team like
this you can’t just set up a basic system.”
“It was a good game, we skated hard
the whole time. They didn’t really get
back which is always a worry when
you start to get up in a game early. The
worry is always that they will start slow-
ing down and taking it easy but they just
kept pulling the whole game,” Billman
added.
There was some additional bitter-
sweet to this game as Huntingtown
Head Coach Eric Nyman announced
that after the game he would be happily
stepping down from this program after
a five year run.
Now, the Northern Patriots(13-1-0),
whose regular season record earned
their spot, and the St. Mary’s Ryken
Knights(6-8-0) have earned a chance
to compete in the State Championship
tournament.
The Patriots will be coming in as
the seventh-seed to face off against the
tenth-seeded Thomas S. Wootton High
School team on February 15th at the
Laurel Gardens Ice House at 5:00pm.
The Knights will be coming in as a
fifth-seed, and will face off against the
twelfth-seeded Kent Island in the open-
ing round on February 14 at the Capital
Clubhouse in Waldorf at 6:15pm. The Seahawks then took over as four

Last Minute Victory

The St. Mary’s College of Maryland
women’s basketball erased a six-point
deficit in the final minute and a half to
pull out a 67-65 Capital Athletic Con-
ference road win over Southern Vir-
ginia University Saturday afternoon.
Senior captain Olivia Nowlin (Glenelg,
Md./Glenelg) tallied a game- and team-
best 17 points while sophomore guard
Janey Mathisen (Marshfield, Mass./
Notre Dame Academy) laid in the game-
winning bucket in the final seconds to
lead the Seahawks to the season sweep
of SVU.
The Basics
Score: St. Mary’s 67, Southern Vir-
ginia 65
Records: St. Mary’s (8-14, 4-12 CAC),
Southern Virginia (12-11, 5-11 CAC)
Location: Buena Vista, Va. – Knight
Sports Arena
How It Happened
Southern Virginia entered the fourth
period with only a one-point lead before
back-to-back baskets by Katie Garrish
gave the Knights a five-point cushion
41 seconds into the last quarter. SVU
would build a six-point advantage on
four separate occasions, with the last
one coming at 1:26 when Cory Stout
knocked down two free throws for a 63-
57 SVU lead.
different players combined for a 10-2 run
over the final 1:17 of the game. Mathisen
scored four points in the run, includ-
ing the game-winning layup with four
seconds to go, while the Knights went
0-for-4 at the line with one turnover.
Southern Virginia opened up a five-
point lead in the first stanza behind
50.0% (6-12) shooting from the field but
the Seahawks used eight points off of
seven SVU miscues to pull within 17-16.
The Knights came out firing in the
second period, shooting nearly 70%
(9-13) from the field during the next
15 minutes. After St. Mary’s claimed a
one-point lead for the second time in the
quarter, Southern Virginia closed out
the first half on an 8-0 run to boast a 36-
29 halftime advantage.
Shelby Butler was the half’s leading
scorer with 12 points on 6-of-8 shooting
while Nowlin and junior captain Katie
Sports 25
Robey (Kensington, Md./Georgetown
Visitation) led the Seahawks with sev-
en apiece. SVU dominated the paint in
the first half, 20-12, while St.  Mary’s
picked up 17 points off of 13 turnovers
by the home team.
Southern Virginia bolstered its lead to
11 points at the 5:44-minute mark of the
third stanza behind an opening 11-7 run
but the Seahawks used a 12-2 run to end
the quarter down only one.
Inside the Box Score
The Seahawks forced 25 turnovers
with a season-best 17 steals, capital-
izing for 28 points, while 13 offensive
rebounds led St. Mary’s to eight second
chance points.
Nowlin posted 17 points by matching
her career-high in field goals with six
for the fourth time while adding three
rebounds and two assists. She has now
scored in double-digits 10 times this
season.
Robey came away with a near triple-
double on 15 points, nine boards, and a
career-best eight steals plus three help-
ers while senior captain Kerri Kline
(Hagerstown, Md./Saint James) contrib-
uted 11 points, six caroms, a career-high
five steals, and two dimes.
Mathisen finished the day with 10
points for her third straight double-fig-
ure scoring performance while chipping
in career-bests of four rebounds and
three assists.
Southern Virginia was led by a pair of
double-doubles as Garrish registered 13
points and a game-best 13 rebounds and
Alexus Barnes recorded 11 boards and
10 points. The duo’s combined effort of
24 caroms helped the Knights notch a
45-37 rebounding margin.
Game Notes
Kline remains in fourth place on the
St. Mary’s all-time scoring list with
1,206 career points in 97 games. She
needs 42 points to move into the third
spot and pass Stephanie Saint-Aubin
‘10, who put up 1,247 points in three
seasons as a Seahawk.

18 FINANCIAL PLANNING TIPS FOR 2018
By Lyn Striegel
Contributing Writer
This is for all you procrastinators out there. You know who you are. It’s never
too early or too late to start a financial plan. Every year I prepare a list of finan-
cial planning tips. In hopes of inspiring you to start a financial plan, here are 18
tips for your 2018 financial plan:
STASH THE CASH.
The first step is to stash enough cash to give you breathing room if something
terrible happens like an illness or job loss. At least 6 months and probably a
year’s worth of income will do it.
PAY YOURSELF FIRST.
If you own a small business, get yourself on the books too. It’s tempting to
pay everyone else before you, but by doing that you cheat yourself. Be kinder
to you.
NO CREDIT CARDS ALLOWED.
Think about it—twenty percent interest on your purchases? This is a terrible
drag on your finances. Pay off those credit cards with a plan. Then, keep one for
emergencies but otherwise buy with cash.
MAX OUT THE 401(K).
If your employer has a 401(k) and you do not participate, shame on you. Espe-
cially if the employer will match your contributions—that’s free money to you.
GET IT ALL IN ONE PLACE.
If you can’t see it, you can’t manage it. Get all your investment accounts un-
der one roof with one statement a month.
ALLOCATE, ALLOCATE, ALLOCATE.
This goes without saying, but unless you allocate your assets across cash,
stocks and bonds, you will not succeed as an investor. I always recommend
investors consult a professional to allocate their assets—interview the profes-
sionals until you find one that responds most to your concerns.
LET IT RIDE.
Compound interest is your friend. The more you can reinvest your interest or
dividends, the better.
NO NEWS IS GOOD NEWS.
Following the business news to figure out how to make a plan is just foolish.
The news cycle is not your investment guide. Turn off the 24-hour business
“news” and focus on making a plan to last over time.
SAVINGS ALONE IS NOT ENOUGH.
You’ve got to make investments to earn money on your money. Just keep-
ing it in the mattress will not help defeat inflation. With interest rates rising,
Thursday, February 15, 2018
you now have a better chance of earning money on
your investments.
SOCIAL SECURITY.
It’s not enough to live on, but it is a safety net
for you. Check out the benefits to which you are
entitled and keep in mind that there are limitations
under age 66 to the amounts you can earn if you
receive social security.
INSURANCE.
There are insurance products out there that can
give you income and security for your principal.
A professional is required to advise you on all the
products available to you. Do your due diligence
and interview professionals—unless they can
explain how the insurance products work, walk
away. You want someone who treats you with re-
spect and is well educated about insurance prod-
ucts and you and your family.
INDEX FUNDS.
I like ‘em and so does everyone else. Keep it basic with index funds that track
the major indexes. There are far too many hybrid index funds out there that are
too risky. Forget the bells and whistles—go for the basic indexes.
BENEFICIARIES.
You need to check on what beneficiaries you have designated for your ac-
counts, retirement plans, insurance policies, etc. Make sure it isn’t the ex-spouse
or deceased parents. The latest dated beneficiary designation counts so keep
these up to date.
REQUIRED DOCS.
You know I’m going to advise you to get your estate plan in order as a major
part of your financial plan. You need a Will or a Living Trust, a Power of At-
torney and a Living Will. Without these documents, you have no power to help
your loved ones in a medical emergency and the courts will decide the distribu-
tion of your assets.
GET YOUR CREDIT RATING AND KEEP UP WITH IT.
There are lots of free available tools to help you get your credit rating. Review
your credit report and question anything that is not clear to you. Submit cor-
rections to all three major credit reporting agencies and follow-up to make sure
the corrections have been implemented on your report. To re-build your credit,
obtain a credit card, make a small monthly purchase and pay it off every month.
Keep doing this for a year. The results will show up as current on your credit
report and raise your score.
CONFIDENCE.
This is the hard part. Financial planning is not rocket science—anyone can do
this by following simple rules. HAVE CONFIDENCE.
GET MORE EDUCATION.
There are so many learning tools out there. Every major brokerage firm and
insurance company has tips for you on starting and maintaining a financial plan.
And, most reputable financial advisors are very willing to give you their time
free of charge to discuss financial planning. Take advantage of what is available
to you and learn more. You can never get enough education.
BE PATIENT.
You will not achieve success by chasing the most current trend. Pick your
investments carefully, making sure to allocate and be patient about the results.
If at any time your investments decline more than 15%, review them with your
advisor It may be time to get out of some of them. Your horizon should be
long-term.

“Syd-eo and Mindy-et;
A Hound Story”
This morn-
ing I was
reminded of
the heart tug-
ging story of
Romeo and
Juliet. How
fitting on
Va l e n t i n e’s
Day. Shake-
speare brought to life the tragedy
faced by young lovers since the
beginning of time. The only differ-
ence from the famous story to what
I observed this morning is that the
Romeo and Juliet in my sight are
Syd and Mindy: two star-crossed,
love and play happy, hounds. Syd
is our neighbor’s sweet hound and
of course you know that Mindy is
our stubborn, listens only when
good and ready to, hound. They are
madly in love.
I had to laugh at the sight of Min-
dy playing the coquettish female,
teasing Syd from atop our front
steps with a treat hanging out of
our mouth. Syd was below dancing
back and forth pleading for her to
come down and share her treat and
play with him. The only problem is
that once Syd gets his treat he runs
home with it. So, Mindy knows the
way to keep him with her. I will
be looking for ladders against the
basement window soon.
They talk to each other daily
from across the street from within
our homes. We can hear Syd start
his high pitched woooo woooo
woooo howling for Mindy, and
Mindy answering with loud whim-
pering and lots of barking. If Mindy
gets out first, the first thing she does
is look across the street to see if Syd
is laying in front of the front door.
Then Syd really starts his howling/
crying. After she does all her urgent
morning routines, she will either sit
or lay facing Syd’s house until it’s
his turn to come out. I believe they
think about each other quite a lot.
They play so well together, rolling
and play biting for ages, and they
will mostly share treats and toys,
though once in a while Syd will
take off back across the street with
a toy, sometimes dropping it off
right as he enters his front yard. He
The County Times
looks back as if to say, okay now it’s
your turn to follow me.
But, as in any good love story
there is an obstacle. In their love
story it is Balto, whose name brings
to mind Tybalt in Romeo and Juliet.
Balto, the black shepherd is Syd’s
half-brother not a litter sibling, and
does not want to share his playtime
with Syd with Mindy. Yes, it is an
unusual love triangle, but brotherly
love is just as strong. Syd is one of
the sweetest, lovable dogs on the
planet, who wouldn’t want to play
with him as he wriggles his whole
body when he sees you. And he is
so accommodating and adaptable,
even learning to tolerate the mun-
dane ritual of playing ball with
Mindy. I think Syd feels playing
ball is so beneath his intelligence
and elegance. Syd knows that other
than loving him, Mindy’s only oth-
er love is a slimy, muddy ball in her
mouth – preferably with a human
throwing it over and over for hours
on end. So, he compromises like
any perfect couple should, and acts
as if he is enjoying it immensely.
Compromise is a good foundation
for any relationship as a matter of
fact.
What does Mindy give to this
relationship? I believe she gives
gentle, slobbery play time, and a
devotion that Syd can clearly see
when she sits on the edge of the
yard staring at him and waiting for
him. What more could anyone want
than knowing that someone wants
to deluge, flood, douse shower you
with yards and yards of slobbery
love, and then pine for you with
sweet brown doggie eyes, then bite
you, sometimes not so tenderly, all
over your ears and legs? Muskrat
love has nothing on this. We could
all learn a lot from hound dog love
on this Valentine’s Day. Hope your
Valentine’s week is filled with lov-
ing slobber and playtime as well.
To each new day’s adventure,
Shelby

For well over 400 years, the
Barbary Coast pirates made
their living by seizing ships
and goods and by enslaving
people. France and England,
among other nations, had for
hundreds of years been paying
“tributes” to the rulers of the
Barbary Coast which included
Algiers, Tunisia, Morocco and
Tripioli (now called Libya).
American ships were protect-
ed because prior to the Revo-
lutionary War, our ships f lew
British f lags. For a while af-
ter the Revolutionary War, we
were protected by the French.
By 1785 we were on our
own. The newly created Unit-
ed States had downsized the
army to less than 700 men, had
eliminated the Navy entirely
and had sold its last ship. That
same year, the Barbary Coast
pirates seized the first U.S.
merchant ship and took 22
hostages. By 1793, over 100
Americans were being held
hostage (including 16 of the 22
taken in 1785; 6 hostages hav-
ing died while in captivity).
This on-going situation was
the single most important rea-
son why Congress passed and
President Washington signed
legislation on March 27, 1794
which recreated the Navy un-
der the Department of War.
The Department of Navy, as
a separate entity was created
April 30, 1798. The first Sec-
retary of the Navy was Benja-
min Stoddert who was born in
neighboring Charles County,
MD.
Just six months later, on Sep-
tember 7, 1798, Michael Brown
Carroll was appointed as a
midshipman in the U.S. Navy.
Mr. Carroll was born 1768 in
St. Mary’s County at “Susque-
hanna” which was a part of the
approximately 7,000 acres tak-
en by the U.S. Navy in 1942 for
Thursday, February 15, 2018
the Patuxent Naval Air Station.
Mr. Carroll saw action first in
the Quasi War with France, but
by 1800 he was serving aboard
the Philadelphia off the coast
of Tripoli. In 1803, the Phila-
delphia was seized by pirates
and its crew of 307 was taken
hostage after it had become
entrenched on a sandbar in the
harbor of Tripoli. Luckily, by
that time Michael Brown Car-
roll had already been assigned
to the Siren.
Stephen Decatur, with a
crew of volunteers, eventu-
ally destroyed the Philadel-
phia in a daring raid in which
they posed as pirates using a
previously captured Tripolitan
ketch which had been renamed
the USS Intrepid. The Siren,
with Mr. Carroll on board, ac-
companied the USS Intrepid.
The mission was successful
with 20 of the enemy being
killed and the Philadelphia
destroyed.
Michael Brown Carroll
would continue to serve in the
Mediterranean until 1806. He
was promoted to Master Com-
mandant in 1815 after having
served in New Orleans dur-
ing the War of 1812. Mr. Car-
roll resigned from the Navy in
1822 and returned to “Susque-
hanna” where he died in 1831.
In 1960, the Carroll family do-
nated to the St. Mary’s County
Historical Society the original
commission signed by Presi-
dent Jefferson, a sword said
to have been presented to him
by a prominent Turk after the
Battle of Tripoli, and a small
portrait all of which are on dis-
play at the Old Jail Museum in
Leonardtown.

Letter to the Editor
The Maryland Legislature is currently
considering Senate Bill 903, which is:
“For the purpose of repealing provisions
that establish the Southern Maryland
Higher Education Center and its gov-
ernance: and generally relating to the
Southern Maryland Higher Education
Center”. This Bill, if enacted, would
transform the Southern Maryland High-
er Education Center (SMHEC) from
what is currently a fully independent re-
gional higher education center governed
by a Board of Governors comprised to-
tally of Southern Maryland citizens into
a third-tier University System of Mary-
land (USM) regional center with only
local “Advisory Board” input to its oper-
ations and, most importantly, to the se-
lection of its advanced degree offerings.
This Bill would have no effect, positive
or negative, upon the efforts currently
underway which are directed toward the
SMHEC’s third building, an education
and research facility being constructed
under the auspices of the USM.
The issue of the Research Center, cur-
in 1994 was Notre Dame of Maryland
University, an independent institution
willing to take a risk at a brand new
higher education center to provide local
graduate degree-leading programming
to the substantial education community
in Southern Maryland. That commit-
ment by Notre Dame was instrumental
in assuring the future of the SMHEC
and led soon to interest by other institu-
tions. A primary function of the Board
of Governors has continued to be to
work with constituencies in the region
to define higher education needs, solicit
program proposals from advanced de-
gree-awarding institutions and to inde-
pendently select the very best solutions
appropriate to our needs – regardless
of the offerors’ affiliations, or even, in
some cases, whether in-state or external
to Maryland. The control rests locally.
Independent governance has also
resulted in the provision of needed
programs very efficiently. While com-
parative numbers are sometimes hard
to extract from the huge entity which is

FOR CHANGE OF NAME TO DOMINIC AARON BUCKLER
In the Circuit Court for St. Mary’s County, Maryland
Case No.: C-18-FM-18-000078
Notice (Adult) (DOM REL 61)
The above Petitioner has filed a Petition for Change of Name in which
he seeks to change his name from Dominic Aaron Glascoe to Dominic Aaron
Buckler. The petitioner is seeking a name change because:
I would like my father’s last name.
Any person may file an objection to the Petition on or before the 10th
day of March, 2018. The objection must be supported by an affidavit and served
upon the Petitioner in accordance with Maryland Rule 1-321. Failure to file an
objection or affidavit within the time allowed may result in a judgment by default
or the granting of the relief sought.

rently partially funded and in the plan-
ning stages by the USM, is essentially
settled – and will hopefully prove to be
a valuable, if expensive, asset support-
ing both necessary Southern Maryland
economic diversity and the Navy’s con-
tinued presence here. The absorption of
the totality of the SMHEC into the mass
of the USM however, is driven by only
the apparent reluctance of the State of
Maryland to recognize the value of such
independent centers (there are multiple)
through reliable funding and the ab-
sence of sufficient public dialog to effect
a change to that dynamic. Rather, the
easy route is to funnel funding into the
USM and hope for the best. Again, there
is no linkage between the research facil-
ity and the absorption of the SMHEC as
a whole.
USM represents fine institutions of
higher education and many of the offer-
ings provided over the past 24 years at
the SMHEC have been by USM compo-
nents. Many other of the fine offerings
however have been provided by non-
USM associated schools. In fact, the
very first offeror to come to the SMHEC
USM, estimates are that SMHEC oper-
ating costs are on the order of one half of
those of USM-affiliated regional higher
education centers.
Delegating total responsibility and
authority for the administration of
SMHEC, currently a self-governing in-
stitution of higher education established
under State law, and transferring all its
assets to another academic entity with
a separate governing structure, head-
quartered outside the region, would un-
dermine the future accountability and
responsiveness of SMHEC’s programs
and services to the needs of Southern
Maryland and its people. Since there is
no apparent rationale to support this bill
right now, I would hope that such a dras-
tic step can be tabled pending at least
the opportunity for more open commu-
nity dialog to address the wisdom of its
effects.
