Teachers Cite Code of

Conduct Inconsistencies
School Board Ponders Gun Images on Clothes The 4th Annual Startup Pitch Contest for Southern Maryland

By Dick Myers
Editor

Calvert County’s teachers say the

school system’s Code of Conduct policy
isn’t being administered consistently. Cal-
vert Education Association (CEA) Presi-
dent Dona Ostenso told the school board
at its April 26 meeting, “Our members do
not feel the Code of Student Conduct is
followed because we do not believe the
level of response is consistently followed
in all schools.”
The association is the bargaining
unit for the county’s teachers. Ostenso’s
remarks came during the public com-
ment section of the Board of Education’s
April26 meeting. They preceded a dis-
cussion of the school system’s policy on
Student’s Rights, Responsibilities and
Code of Conduct. That 58-page docu-
ment is being reviewed for changes. The
record will be left open for 30 days for
Calvert Education Association President
Dona Ostenso.
on them.
The problem occurs with renderings
that could be considered benign, such as
for ROTC students or school mascots.
And the larger question is the ban deny-
ing the students’ Second Amendment
rights, or even First Amendment rights.
School Superintendent Dr. Daniel Cur-
ry observed that sometimes free speech
can get in the way of people’s feelings.

Hogan Turns Up Heat On Waugh
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
Gov. Larry Hogan continued his rhe-
torical assault on Sen. Steve Waugh last
week by claiming the incumbent from
Dist. 29 failed to act to prevent the re-
moval of $28.4 million from the budget
that was programmed for the new re-
search building at the Southern Maryland
Higher Education Center.
Hogan spoke at the fundraiser for Jack
Bailey, who is running against Waugh, in
Bushwood April 27 that was attended by
hundreds of people from the local busi-
ness and political communities.
“Your current incumbent senator did
nothing to protect that $28 million,” Ho-
gan said to the hundreds gathered there.
“Some people go off to Annapolis and
lose touch with the people.
“Jack Bailey… will always be one of
you.”
Waugh, in a later interview, flatly de-
nied the governor’s accusations, not-
ing his work to secure a deal in the last
hours of the legislative session to renew
the merger of the higher education center
with the University System of Maryland.
The amendment to the bill proffered by
Waugh mandated that the third building’s
construction funding move ahead next
year.
Waugh said that when the delega-
tion learned the money had been re-
moved he and others “started a pret-
ty vigorous attack on the matter.”
Waugh said he and delegation members
mounted a lobbying campaign that was
intense but ultimately unsuccessful.
But it was far from doing nothing, the
incumbent said.
Hogan again chided Waugh for be-
ing the one vote in the GOP to override
the governor’s veto of a bill that prohib-
ited colleges and universities from asking
about a prospective student’s criminal
background on their application.
Hogan accused Waugh of voting to
“allow violent felons into our colleges
and universities without a criminal back-
ground check.”
Waugh has pointed out that those in-
stitutions would still be able to perform
criminal background checks on students.
Bailey, a retired Natural Resources Po-
lice sergeant, thanked the attendees for

such strong showing of support.
“I want to be available, approachable,
committed and accountable to each and
every one of you,” Bailey said.
Delegates from both St. Mary’s and
Calvert counties attended. Some such as
Matt Morgan and Deb Rey did not say
which candidate they were supporting,
while District 27 Del. Mark Fisher left no
doubt as to who he was supporting.
He and Waugh were at odds earlier this
year when Fisher attended a St. Mary’s
County Chamber of Commerce legisla-
tive breakfast in Morgan’s stead; Waugh
complained bitterly about Calvert-based
Fisher’s presence in St. Mary’s and
walked out.
Though most of District 29 is in St.
Mary’s, Waugh is from Lusby.
Fisher accused Waugh of being Gov. Larry Hogan, center, attends a fundraiser in Bushwood for Dist. 29 senate candiate Jack

Jarboe was for Bailey despite this being
his first attempt at elected office.
“I wasn’t micromanaged by Jack Bailey
the last three years,” Jarboe said.
Jarboe and other commissioners have
collectively chaffed under what they con-
sidered intrusions into their sphere of au-
thority by Waugh and the delegation.
They were particularly upset last year
when Waugh had attempted to place
conditions on their ability to incur debt
through the elimination of other taxes.
Waugh eventually relented on those
conditions to a bond bill and said frus-

Partner in Tiki Bar
Suing For Ownership
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
Patrick Donovan, long-time partner of
the late Terry Donovan in the Solomon’s
Island Tiki Bar, has filed for an injunc-
tion in Calvert County Circuit Court
claiming he still retains a majority of the
stock in the bar.
In his law suit filed recently, Donovan,
a California resident, claims that John
W. Martin IV, “is allegedly the primary
stockholder of PT Tiki Inc.”
Martin’s name was added to the liquor
license for the Tiki Bar last year by the
Calvert Court Board of License Com-
missioners; he was listed as the manager
there.
At that meeting it was noted Martin
had a 10 percent stake in the ownership.
The bar is apparently up for sale; when
Donovan learned of this he apparently
filed the injunction.
According to court filings Donovan
and Clarke founded PT Tiki, Inc. in
2005, to do business as a bar in Solo-
mons Island.
At that time, Donovan claimed he had
400 shares in the company, which made

Court filings contend that Dono-
van and Clarke had many business
partnerships.
In December of 2012 Donovan sold
stock to Clarke from several different
business interests but on that list there
was no mention of any stock in the Tiki
Bar being sold, court papers claim.
Around the same time, according to
court filings, Clarke and Donovan con-
sulted an accountant who advised Dono-
van he should not sell his Tiki Bar stock
to Clarke, since Clarke’s criminal history
would “negatively affect the company’s
ability to possess a liquor license.”
In March of last year, Donovan
claimed to have received a letter from
a lawyer, V. Charles Donnelly, stating
Clarke wanted to exercise an option to
buy the stock in the Tiki Bar.
Contained in the message was an “in-
strument” to purchase the stock, court
papers stated, but Donovan “did not ex-
ecute this instrument, nor did he respond
to Donnelly’s letter.”

Prior to the Great Recession, munici-
pal HUR $45 million in annual funding
made up the vast majority of all annual
state aid to cities and towns. In 2009 the
more than 96% cuts in HUR aid to mu-
nicipalities created a tremendous hard-
ship on municipalities trying to maintain
their roads and fund transportation in-
frastructure projects.
Councilman Stewart Cumbo, Town of

Commissioners Get Report It’s “Let’s

Spring Time
Play in the Yard”
on Fate of County Bills
By Dick Myers
Editor
The Calvert County Board of County
Commissioners (BOCC) batted .476 with
their proposals this year to the county’s
legislative delegation. Not bad for baseball
and Commissioner President Evan Slaugh-
enhoupt, Jr. said it wasn’t bad for the county
either.
County Attorney John Norris gave the
report to the BOCC at their May 1 meeting
on how the 22 pieces of legislation which
garnered majority commissioner support
fared in the just concluded 2018 Maryland
Genera Assembly. Senator Mike Miller
and Delegates Jerry Clark and Michael
Jackson attended the meeting.
Before the meeting had concluded, the
county had issued a press release touting
the session success. In the press release,
Slaughenhoupt was quoted as saying: “Cer-
tainly some of the most important work that
came out of the state legislature this year
was the focus and funding that was given to
the safety of our state’s schools. Adequate
law enforcement coverage, structural safety
requirements and additional mental health
services are now requirements in Mary-
land, as they should be.”
The most contentious issue among the
delegation was the bill giving the county

Regulators Hear About Exelon’s

Emergency Operations Plans
A public meeting was held on March 12 between the U.S. Nuclear Regula-
tory Commission (NRC) and representatives of Exelon Generation Company,
LLC (Exelon, the licensee) via telephone conference. The purpose of the
meeting was to discuss the proposed license amendment requests (LARs) to
relocate the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant, Units 1 and 2 (Calvert Cliffs),
emergency operations facility (EOF) and technical support center (TSC).
Most of the discussion during the telephone conference was focused on the re-
location of the EOF. The meeting notice and agenda, dated February 26, 2018,
are available in the Agencywide Documents Access and Management System
(ADAMS) at Accession
No. ML180578166. The presentation material used by the licensee is avail-
able in ADAMS at Accession No. ML18096A990. A list of attendees is pro-
vided in the Enclosure.

Proposed LAR to Relocate EOF

During their presentation, the Exelon representatives stated that the licensee
planned to submit an LAR to relocate the Calvert Cliffs EOF and joint infor-
mation center to Coatesville, Pennsylvania in June 2018. Exelon, currently, has
an EOF in Coatesville that is shared by Limerick Generating Station, Peach
Bottom Atomic Power Station, and Three Mile Island Nuclear Station. The
Exelon representatives stated that recent precedents would be considered in
the preparation of the proposed LAR. For example, based on precedents, the
proposed submittal would address simultaneousevents at multiple stations ,
training of corporate personnel on the Calvert Cliffs plant technology, and
communications. Additionally, the licensee described discussions and interac-
Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant
tions it has had to date with state agencies and local governments in the State
of Maryland. The licensee stated that the planned LAR would be independent
(i.e., no linkage) of a related planned fleet LAR concerning emergency re-
sponse organization staffing that would also be submitted in June 2018.
The NRC staff informed the licensee that:
• The Commission is interested in drills involving multiple stations that have dif-
fering plant technology.
• Reviews of EOF relocations greater than 25 miles would involve Commission
approval and consultation with the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
• It should consider the guidance for near-site facilities in NUREG-0696, “Func-
tional Criteria for Emergency Response Facilities,” dated February 1981 (AD-
AMS Accession No. ML051390358) and NSIR/DPR-ISG-01, “Interim Staff
Guidance - Emergency Planning for Nuclear Power Plants,” dated November
2011 (ADAMS Accession No. ML113010523).
• As part of the review, the NRC staff would conduct a regulatory audit at the
facility in Coatesville.
The NRC staff suggested that the licensee include in its submittal:
• Descriptions of relevant agreements with the State of Maryland.
• Description of any changes to interfaces with offsite agencies.
• Discussion concerning the ability to cope with simultaneous events at the EOF.
• Description of any historical information pertaining to simultaneous events.
• Description of an assessment of response to events at more than one station.
• Discussion on the periodicity of multiple station drills.
• Specific details concerning the training of corporate personnel on Calvert Cliffs.
• Discussion reliability and redundancy of communications (e.g., satellite phones,
cellular phones) within the emergency planning zone and EOF.
Proposed LAR to Relocate TSC
During their presentation, the Exelon representatives stated that the licensee is
considering relocating the Calvert Cliffs TSC from its location near the control room
to outside of the protected area in the site Nuclear Office Facility. The Exelon rep-
resentatives described the goals for the TSC relocation and the precedents that the
licensee is considering. The licensee stated that the soonest that it would submit the
LAR would be the end of calendar year 2018.
In response to a question from the Exelon representatives, the NRC staff informed
the licensee that the LAR for Donald C. Cook Nuclear Plant (ADAMS Accession No.
ML18024A447) would be a good precedent to consider. The NRC staff suggested
that the licensee address, in its submittal, the consideration of location of the person-
nel that would staff the TSC and the “2-minute” rule.
Public Comments and Questions
Members of the public attended the telephone conference. During the telephone
conference, representatives from the State of Maryland asked questions of the NRC
staff concerning:
• The States consultation on the relocation of the EOF review.
• The States consultation on the relocation of the joint information center.
The NRC staff informed the representative of the State of Maryland that the
NRC’s Calvert Cliffs operating reactor project manager would keep them informed
on the progress of the review of the licensee proposed LAR and would consult, as
required, with the State prior to issuing a decision on the proposed LAR. Addition-
ally, the licensee stated that it is committed to keeping the State involved, including
participation in a demonstration drill.
A public meeting feedback form was received. The question received via the feed-
back form was:
How can [NRC] Inspection Procedure [IP] 71114.06 be accomplished, if the EOF
is a significant distance from the site? Either more resources are needed or the [in-
spection procedure) needs to be revised.
The NRC IP 71114.06, “Drill Evaluation,” issued July 9, 2002 (ADAMS Acces-
sion No. ML021900257), is an inspection procedure assigned to resident inspectors.
The procedure’s objectives are to evaluate the licensee’s ability to properly conduct
a drill and effectively critique a broad spectrum of emergency preparedness (EP)
related drills and or training evolutions between NRC-graded EP exercises. There is
no inspection requirement, guidance, or expectation that the evaluation of the drill/
exercise or training be performed from a specific emergency response facility (ERF).
Existing consolidated EOFs, which support multiple sites (e.g., Exelon - Mid-West
& Mid Atlantic, Duke Energy Corporation and Southern Nuclear Operating Com-
pany), are normally observed by Regional EP Inspectors during a scheduled biennial
exercise. The NRC IP 71114.01, “Exercise Evaluation,” issued July 9, 2002 (ADAMS
Accession No. ML021900205) is used to evaluate the licensee’s capability to assess
performance for the ERF via a formal critique process in order to identify and cor-
rect weaknesses associated with the planning standard under Title 1O of the Code of
Federal Regulations Section 50.47(b)(14).
The feedback form has been forwarded to the NRR Senior Communications Ana-
lyst who will forward it to the Office of the Executive Director for Operations.
No regulatory decisions were made during the public telephone conference. Please
direct any inquiries to me at (301) 415-2871 or Michael.Marshall@nrc.gov .

From Rescue Puppy to National Champion:
A Story of the Animal/Human Bond
Photo by Michael Cole Imagery
By Dick Myers
Editor
The animal/human bond is something
that most people who have lived with pets
fully understand. It could be as simple as
providing mutual companionship in daily
living or as complex as providing service
assistance. And, there are many stories of
life saving feats such as warning of a fire
or an intruder.
This is a story about a Calvert County
woman’s bond with her dog. Chrissy Joy
of Lusby rescued Beasley from a humane
group. She was seeking companionship
in a down time in her life. She could not
have predicted that she was bringing a su-
per dog into her life.
Joy was raised in New Jersey. “I always
had a passion for animals,” she said. That
was manifested early on with an interest
in horses. She ran her first horse boarding
facility while in high school.
Growing up she had problems with
anxiety. “My outlet was working with
animals,” she explained during an April
30 interview. Getting involved and work-
ing outdoors all helped her build up her
confidence.
She attended Delaware Valley Univer-
sity and majored in Equine Studies which
led her to training horses in Kentucky.
But, she also liked acting. She became a
spokesperson for the World Equestrian
Games and also the “Speedway Girl” for
a chain of gas station/convenience stores.
She moved around for a tine, ending up
in Washington state, where she met her
The Calvert County Times
husband who was in the Navy at Whid-
bey Island Naval Air Station. Everywhere
she traveled it was either the talent work
or horses
Her husband now works for Lockheed
and they moved to Southern Maryland for
his job associated with the Patuxent River
Naval Air Station.
Once here she was interested in con-
tinuing with horses, but she also felt the
pull of the entertainment business. So, she
took a commuting job with the Discov-
ery Channel. But the commute to Silver
Spring was a drag,
“I had to reevaluate my life a little
bit,” she said. She started working at All
Kinds Veterinary Hospital in Callaway,
St. Mary’s County. It was at that time that
Beasley came into her life.
Beasley is a mutt, a mix of at least sever-
al breeds. He was eight months old when
she adopted him in 2014 from Homeward
Bound Animal Rescue in Pennsylvania.
He was one of 14 puppies and she saw
him online on the Petfinder website.
“I decided I needed a dog in my life,”
she said.
When her job with Discovery didn’t
pan out, she said, “I felt like I was a lit-
tle unworthy. I wasn’t happy. I was feel-
ing depressed which brought on some
anxiety. Something was missing from my
life. Something needed to change,” she
explained.
Working with a dog, she felt, “would
be a great outlet for me.” She added,
“That was a life-changing moment for
me. This is what I missed, having that
Thursday, May 3, 2018
Beasley became the first dog at BFF to
get his Champion Trick Dog title.
All the while The County Times was
talking to Joy, Beasley was following
Joy’s every word and gesture, obviously
attuned to her wishes. But, at the same
time she was attuned to what he was do-
ing. This is the animal/human bond we
were talking about at the beginning of
this story.
The human and animal also started do-
ing some stage performances. “That was
really exciting,” she said. That led to Bea-
sley doing TV commercials. She started
working with talent agencies to get jobs
for him. If you’ve seen the commercials
for Chewy Pet Food, that’s Beasley in it.
Stunt Dog competition was a new thing
this year and Joy decided to try it with
Beasley. “You can only compete in Stunt
Dog if you have a Trick Dog Title,” Joy
explained. This past weekend at DogFest
in Charles County was the first time that
Stunt Dog Trials were held in America.
They were put on by BFF.
But the birth of Stunt Dog competi-
tion was at Tridex, or the Trick Dog Expo
at Purina Farms in Missouri in March.
To compete for the National Stunt Dog
Championship, a dog had to be a Trick
Dog Champion. Bailey had to compete
in four intermediate Trick Dog competi-
companionship.’ tions to make it to the finals of the first

folks at the vet hos-
pital about BFF Pet
Services in Bran-

with puppy kinder-
garten. One of the
staff members saw
her working with
Beasley and said,
“We need to get her
on our team.”
At first her fo-
cus with Beasley
was just on basic
training and hik-
ing. “We do seven
miles a day, every
day,” she said.
Her new em-
ployer, BFF, be-

Joy started train-
ing him tricks at
home. They started
getting involved
in agility and trick

He took to it quick-
ly. The training

away, showing disinterest. The BFF training facility has helped

But he was definitely into the finals.
Routines were to be six to 10 minutes
long. Their’s was seven minutes in front
of a three-judge panel. Their routine was
about bullying and self-esteem, where
at one point Beasley comes to comfort
Chrissy, who is obviously depressed.
“I think God was on our side,” Joy
said. “I had serious anxiety before that
performance. But he got by my side and
he could tell I was nervous. Like ‘Mom,
what’s wrong.’ We went in that ring and
he was spot on. He was nailing the tricks
before I even said, ‘Go get the tissues’ He
was doing everything because he knew
the routine pattern. I think he knew mom
was stressed,” Joy explained.
“I think also the message we were
driving home is something the judges ap-
preciated -- that we are here to help kids
and adults and whatever they suffer from.
Stay with your dog and you can be happy
with who you are and any way you are
because your animal loves you uncondi-
tionally,” Joy said.
This was not acting for Joy. What with
her anxiety as a kid and the unconditional
love from Beasley, the performance was
a natural.
Beasley has an irritable bowel disorder
and has suffered from separation anxiety.
Joy said they complement each other and
“are strong for each other.”
Beasley with his separation anxiety. “I ac-
tually would not be where I am if it wasn’t
for this place,” Joy said. And they were
especially supportive during the national
competition. BFF does all types of train-
ing and conducts workshops, including
for those interested in getting into show
business. Their website is: www.mybff-
petservices.com
So, Beasley is now back home in Lusby
and during the day at BFF in Brandywine
with his large trophy and a ribbon to wear
around his neck as the National Stunt
Dog Champion. But he’s not resting on
his laurels and neither is Joy. They would
like to do more commercial and show
business work.
Keep in mind that Beasley was a rescue
dog. Joy firmly believes that all dogs can
be trained, even those with some age or
physical disabilities. “They all can learn
some form of obedience, tricks, agility,”
she said. A perfect way to cement that
bond.

Jobs, Trump and
The NFL Draft
Don’t let the title concern you, this
isn’t about politics, per se. What it does
address is how technology and the cur-
rent political environment have invaded
the NFL Draft and left NFL executives
grappling with inescapable facts.
I was raised to tell the truth. “Bad
news doesn’t age well” was the under-
lying advice. Made a mistake? Admit
it, own it, request forgiveness and move
on. At best, carefully spun webs of lies,
built to obscure undesirable facts, only
delay and increase the pain. At worst,
exposed elaborate lies break trust and
ruin reputations.
But there was always a youthful in-
terpretation and application of that clear
direction – because shades of gray were
possible. I grew up in a world where
indiscretions could often be effectively
messaged, if not completely concealed.
It was still a he said/she said time – no
viral pictures, videos or social media
trail. In other words, unless you screwed
up big, there was rarely hard evidence of
typical adolescent excursions.
Thanks to Steve Jobs and the prolif-
eration of handheld, 24/7 everything
devices, we are now under constant sur-
veillance. Add a little Mark Zuckerberg
with various other social media offer-
ings and suddenly a whimsical thought,
frustrated expression or momentarily
immature declaration is on the record -
forever. The content of yesterday’s con-
versations – because they were spoken
face-to-face or over the phone – could
be debated; today’s typed words and re-
corded acts cannot.
The NFL’s pre-draft navigation of this
new social dynamic has been fascinat-
ing. Not long ago NFL executives fo-
cused only on a prospect’s football mea-
surables. “Character research” was little
more than a token interview and a few
reference checks (parents, coaches, etc.).
And if there was a blip on the resume,
teams could overlook it without concern
of a viral media storm.
That era of innocence is gone.
NFL executives adapted to present
day realities, where their prized draftee
can suddenly be caught in compromising
YouTube videos or undermined by unbe-
coming Facebook posts from years be-
fore, by cranking up the vetting process
and becoming obsessively risk averse. It
was an understandable response – why
The Calvert County Times
gamble your career on a “troubled’ kid
when everyone knew, courtesy of mod-
ern media, that you knew prior to the
draft that he was potentially the next
Todd Marinovich or Ryan Leaf?
But if the recently concluded NFL
Draft is any indication, the winds of
change just blew through NFL board-
rooms. Leonardtown native and Cleve-
land Browns GM John Dorsey picked
crotch-grabbing, drunken-police-dodg-
ing QB Baker Mayfield with the num-
ber one overall pick. The Buffalo Bills
selected Josh Allen seventh overall, de-
spite the discovery of racially insensitive
tweets from high school. And the Arizo-
na Cardinal used the tenth pick on Josh
Rosen, a prickly cat who seems more Jay
Cutler than Peyton Manning.
I get it. No endeavor in life is without
risk and ultimate success often requires a
few well-played wildcards. But I haven’t
seen NFL teams so willing to accept risk
this high in the draft and at the franchise
pivot position of quarterback in a long
time. Is this the Trump Effect? Has the
POTUS set a new normal for behavioral
transgressions? Is what’s passable in
politics now passable for the NFL?
That’s a serious question – politics
aside. John F. Kennedy wouldn’t have
gotten away with his personal blem-
ishes had they been exposed in the early
1960’s. Bill Clinton barely survived a
relationship with an intern in the 1990s.
Now the president is having affairs with
porn stars…and the predominant re-
sponse to this one-time atrocity is an
unremarkable “meh”.
This isn’t necessarily a moral com-
mentary on society, but it does indicate
that we’ve grown more accustomed to
– and less shocked by – the truth. You
can’t hide from it anymore, so individu-
ally – as voters, NFL executives, parents
and ordinary everyday citizens – we are
left to parse known human imperfec-
tions, subject them to our own values or
situations, and decide what is tolerable.
It’s an adaptation more than a shift or de-
cay…but I still wouldn’t want my folks
or prospective employers having full
access to all the undeniable facts of my
youth. Who would? Maybe that’s one
perk of being middle aged…

The Tackle Box
Fishing Report
By Ken & Linda Lamb
Contributing Writers
The trophy rockfish
season is heating very
slowly as temperatures
are more like early
March  instead of near-
ly May.  Hopefully all
that has ended now as
normalcy in weather is
set to begin this Tues-
day and last for at least
four consecutive days.
We have had two
big rockfish from the
Potomac; caught on
Shaun Raney’s boat
while trolling near St. Conner King shows off a 31 pound, 36 inch catfish from
Clements Island on Nanjemoy in the Potomac
Friday evening.  The
big fish struck chartruse tandems
rigs in about 40 feet of water.
The Tackle Box still has eight
$20 gift certificates to give away
for the next trophy stripers to be
brought in.
Trollers in the bay are getting
one or two fish per day on aver-
age.  There were a couple of bright
spots where charter captains
scored six fish and eight fish in
a single trip.  The break out sum-
mer temperatures should hasten
the spawn in the shallows and
bring the big fish into the bay with
appetite.
Smaller rockfish in the 20 to
32 inch size are available for
lure casters on points and around
structure up the Potomac and in
the salt islands in the mid-bay
regions in the Honga River and Nick Shuk with his 45 inch, 37 pound 12 oz.
Tangier Sound.  All this fishing is rockfish from the Potomac
catch and release until the 20 inch
minimum begins on May 16th.
White perch will fill the creeks
late this week as warmth finally
arrives.  Crab pots will start to fill
up.
Catfish continue to eat up cut
bait off the Bushwood Wharf and
most other locations in the upper
Potomac.  The Patuxent has plen-
ty of catfish from the Benedict
Bridge and Chalk Point Power
Plant north to Jug Bay.
Crappie are active in St. Mary’s
Lake and local farm ponds.  Bass
are on the beds and will take plas-
tic worms and lizards.
