Twenty-Percent Vote
in St. Mary’s Primary
Clerk’s Race Still Close Before Final Counts
By Dick Myers
Editor
The voter turnout for the St. Mary’s
County primary election was 20.72 per-
cent. Democrat and Republican turn-
out was almost exactly the same as the
overall results. For the primary, 54, 741
registered voters could vote as either
Democrats or Republicans. Republicans
make up 53. 43 percent of that total.
All eyes were on the first round of ab-
sentee vote counting on Thursday, June
28 because one of the races, the Republi-
can contest for clerk of the circuit court,
was relatively close. The race between
Debbie Mills Burch and Pete Cucinotta
showed Burch ahead by 100 votes after
early voting and election day results
were counted.
The first round of absentee vote count-
ing occurred on Thursday, June 28 and
at the end of the day Burch’s lead had
widened to 126 votes.
Construction Begins on Access Road
for Woodland Acres Along MD 235
The Maryland Department of Trans-
portation State Highway Administration
(MDOT SHA) started work on another
transportation improvement project in
St. Mary’s County.
MDOT SHA recently began relocat-
ing utilities along MD 235 (Three Notch
Road) across from First Colony Drive
in preparation for construction of an ac-
cess road into the Woodland Acres com-
munity. This section of MD 235 sees an
average of 71,000 cars daily.
The $2.4 million project is part of the
Intersection Capacity Improvements
Project and extends the access road
north .34 miles and will connect to Old
Pine Court. Work will consist of full
depth pavement construction with in-
stallation of curb, gutter, sidewalk, and
ADA-compliant ramps. A new traffic
The County Times Local News 3
According to Board of Election Super-
visors Election Director Wendy Adkins,
there are 172 provisional ballots waiting
to be counted today (Thursday, July 5),
although she noted that all might not be
accepted because of some deficiency.
Some of those provisional ballots may
have been necessitated by a glitch in the
change of address system of the Mary-
land Department of Motor Vehicles.
Adkins said the absentee ballots are
still trickling in (they must be post-
marked by election day) and they num-
bered around one hundred on Tuesday.
They will be counted on Friday, July 6.
The other relatively close race has a
margin too wide to be affected by the re-
maining counts. In that contest between
Rose Frederick and AnnMarie Abell for
the Democratic District 2 county com-
missioner race, Frederick’s margin was
54.25 to 45.75.

signal will be added at the intersection
of MD 235, and the new access road al-
lowing safe passage into the Woodland
Acres Community.
“This is another example of our
unwavering commitment to deliver-
ing traffic solutions across the state of
Maryland,” said MDOT SHA Admin-
istrator Greg Slater.  “This project is a
big priority in St. Mary’s County, and I
am excited we can bring an innovative
and aggressive approach to deliver this
transportation benefit with little delay.”
This access road project was awarded
to Penn Avenue Construction, LLC, of
Prince Frederick, MD. The project is
scheduled for completion in early 2019.

Animal Welfare Group Wins Dog Custody Suit
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
Last month St. Mary’s District Court
Judge Christy Holt Chesser ruled
against the plaintiff’s in a civil suit
against Second Hope Animal Rescue,
deciding that the dog the plaintiffs had
received from a member of the animal
welfare group never signed documents
finalizing the adoption of the animal.
The plaintiffs, Maura and Brett
Maupin, contested that the adoption
of the dog, named Sasha, was a pri-
vate transaction with the dog’s foster
caretaker and not with Second Hope
Rescue.
Evidence presented in court by the
rescue group showed that the foster
caretaker was a member of Second
Hope Rescue and was caring for Sasha
under their auspices.
The Maupins, who live in Great
Mills, filed suit in August of last year,
claiming that Sasha was being illegal-
ly withheld from them; in May, Kath-
erine McCullogh, the Second Hope
president, refused to turn Sasha back
over to the Maupins, claiming that the
Maupins had essentially abandoned
The County Times Local News 5
Sasha for months in 2016 while
they were away on an extended
family vacation.
During that time, Maura Mau-
pin testified that her mother had
taken ill and died and that she
herself had come down with a de-
bilitating medical condition.
When the family left for New
York City to attend to her moth-
er’s funeral, Sasha was attacked
by two of the Maupin’s dogs; by
the time they got to their desti-
nation Maupin would shortly be-
come ill.
“I was not able to care for the
dogs, let alone myself,” Maura
Maupin testified in April when
the trial began.
The civil trial would not recon-
vene until June 18.

Too Close to Home
By Dick Myers
Editor
It has been
said that our
country has be-
come numb to all
the violence --
another day, an-
other shooting.
I don’t think that’s the case, at least
not for me. But as I was driving home
last Thursday and scanning the radio
to find out more news about the Capi-
tal-Gazette shootings, and I heard the
reporter say that five people inside that
building had been killed, that news
slammed me.
I could easily intellectualize the
tragedy of a teacher being killed in a
school, someone there because he or
she loved what they were doing and
surely not for the paltry salary they
make. They try to teach snotty-nosed
brats how to read or how to add and
subtract, only to be screamed at by
parents dissatisfied with their darling’s
grade. And there they are, just doing
that essential job for society and they
are summarily gunned down by a de-
ranged crazy.
I can surely intellectualize the trag-
edy of a policeman being killed just
doing his or her duty, protecting us
from those same crazies. Sure, they
know they have a dangerous job, but
when they get up in the morning, they
expect to come home at night to kiss
their wife and kids. When they don’t,
everyone understands the tragedy of it.
But the old cliché goes, “Walk a mile
in my shoes.” Maybe it’s that most of
us, myself included, have never walked
that mile in a teacher’s shoes or a po-
liceman’s boots. That surely must be it.
Parents of course feel the pain of
another parent’s loss in a school shoot-
ing. Not having kids, I surely could
understand that loss the tragedy of un-
fulfilled dreams for the parent and the
child.
But this incident at the Capital-Ga-
zette newspaper penetrated my emo-
tions. It was way too personal. I now
understand the pain of all too many
previous mass shootings.
I have been a reporter, writer or
editor almost all my adult life. I have
walked a mile in the shoes of Gerald
Fischman, Ron Hiassen, John McNa-
mara and Wendi Winters. I have been
around salespeople all my life, those
who have helped pay my salary. I have
walked a mile with them and Rebecca
Smith.
I decided in college that I wanted
to be in the news business and even
though I have strayed away from it on
occasion, it was never too far away,
and I always came back. I’ve always
felt there was a reason why our Found-
ing Fathers chose Freedom of the Press
The County Times Local News 7
OWNED AND OPERATED BY HVFD
ANNUAL
as the FIRST Amendment. Of course, I
can’t help but observe that the Right to
Bear Arms is close behind in second.
Please don’t get me wrong. I don’t
think that reporters and editors are
better than teachers, policemen or
kids. It’s just that newspaper people
FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE
HOLLYWOOD VOLUNTEER
are family and I mourn the loss of five
of them and cry for their families as if
I was part of those families.

Annapolis is also part of the reason
that this hit me so hard. I have been

Appeal of Winegardner
Site Plan Postponed
By Dick Myers
Editor
The St. Mary’s County Board of Ap-
peals hearing on the proposed site in
Hollywood for a relocated Winegardner
auto complex didn’t happen as scheduled
on June 28. The delay was an unfortu-
nate consequence of the tragic massacre
of five employees at the Capital-Gazette
newspaper in Annapolis earlier that day.
The attorney for the group of citizens
who appealed the March 26 approval
by the planning commission has an of-
fice in the same building as the Capital-
Gazette. Their building was evacuated
by order of the police and the attorney
was unable to get back inside to fetch the
documents she needed to go on with the
case.
Appeals board Chairman George
Alan Hayden asked Paul Bennett, rep-
resenting the appellants and attorney
Christopher Longmore representing the
land owner if the delay was okay with
them. They both consented. The hearing
will be rescheduled for August.
The St. Mary’s County Planning
Commission on March 26 by a 5-2 vote
approved the concept site plan for the
29,969-square-foot new-car dealership
and service center on 7.76 acres of the
overall 22-acre site at the Route 245/Sot-
terley Road intersection with Route 235.
The proposal to relocate the Win-
egardner Chevrolet/GMC dealership
from Leonardtown to Hollywood has
been attached to the hip with the adja-
cent commercial center since the contro-
versial center was presented separately
to the planning commission more than
two years ago; the planners denied it
largely over traffic issues. That denial
was appealed by the developer to the
Board of Appeals, which overturned the
denial.
Director of Land Use and Growth
Management Bill Hunt said at the March
planning commission meeting that the
appeals board decision was the effective
approval of the commercial centers site
plan for 13 acres of the overall 22-acre
property. But that nine acres for the auto
dealer was always conspicuously pres-
ent on the plan.
The planning commission original
The County Times
traffic concerns remain to this day as
residents reiterated them at the March
26 hearing on the car dealership. Resi-
dents feel the Route 235 entrance into
the center should be across from the en-
trance into the Hollywood firehose.
The March 26 approval is contingent
on the two parcels being subdivided.
The plan calls for the access to the car
dealership to be through the commer-
cial center property. Three access points
have been approved: Route 235, Sot-
terley Road and Old Route 235. Those
accesses will have to be constructed be-
fore construction can begin on the car
dealership
A group of Hollywood residents ap-
pealed the appeals board decision and a
visiting judge in St. Mary’s County Cir-
cuit Court upheld that decision. Accord-
ing to Bennett, the group was prepared
to appeal the court decision to a higher
court when a letter was circulated on
May 22, 2017.
That letter, penned by Hunt after a
meeting in Annapolis between county
and State Highway Administration
(SHA) staff, concluded, “The February
2016 TIS (Traffic Impact Study) was not
accurate because the access point from
MD 235 across from the (Hollywood)
Fire Department was not included. I will
not be able to make a finding regarding
APF (Adequate Public Facilities) for the
roads that will be impacted by the proj-
ect until an accurate TIS has been pre-
pared and reviewed by SHA.”
Hunt at the March hearing told the
planning commission that the May 22,
2017 letter was superseded by a letter
from Maryland Secretary of Transpor-
tation Peter Rahm dated Jan. 29, 2018.
In that letter Rahm said the state would
review an updated traffic study if the
county required it.
Although the appeals board has al-
ready approved the Hollywood Com-
mercial Center by overturning the plan-
ning commission, the residents are try-
ing again in hopes that their traffic argu-
ments will prevail. If that fails, they still
once again have the option of appealing
the decision to circuit court.

Elementary School
Delayed After
Growth Slows
By Dick Myers
Editor
There were 250 more students in
St. Mary’s County Public Schools
(SMCPS) at the end of the just conclud-
ed school year than there were five years
ago. In three of the last five years, the
school system overestimated projected
enrollment.
That slowing in the trend of growth
has caused removal of a new elemen-
tary school in the Great Mills area from
the school system’s capital improve-
ment plan. The state requires there to
be at least 50 percent of the population
needed for a new elementary school for
approval of state funding for that school.
The remaining population for the school
has to be projected to be there when
that school opens. The Captain Walter
Francis Duke Elementary School, which
opened two years ago, is the county’s
newest school.
“We are not there,” Director of Capi-
tal Planning Kimberly Howe told the St.
Mary’s County Board of Education at
their June 27 meeting.
School board member Jim Davis was
perplexed. He said he had seen esti-
mates of an overall population growth
rate of five percent. He wondered where
Thursday, July 5, 2018
the students were. “One would think en-
rollment would be higher,” he said.
Howe said it could be a combination
of lower birth rates and the economy. As
to the latter, some parents may have left
the area for jobs elsewhere, she said.
“Obviously nobody wants to build
a school that nobody attends,” Davis
quipped.
Howe said there would be a bubble
of students going through middle and
then high schools in the middle of the
next decade, but again that wouldn’t be
enough to trigger the need for a new sec-
ondary school. Such a school had been
in the plans for several years, but also
has now been removed.
Instead, the school system will be
concentrating on improvements to ex-
isting schools, such as new HVAC sys-
tems and roofs. The capital plan is re-
plete with such projects over the next six
years. For Fiscal Year 2020, there are
projects at Park Hall, Hollywood, Green
Holly and Dynard elementary schools
and Great Mills High School.
The school board unanimously ap-
proved the 2018 Educational Facilities
Master Plan which will be sent to the
state for concurrence.

Cougars Claw Their Way to U.S. Championship Win

After their sensational season, Cougar’s PRIDE was rewarded with a proclamation from
the St. Mary’s County commissioners, recognizing their achievements and their proud
representation of St. Mary’s County on a national stage. Photo credit to St. Mary’s County
Government POI.
By Casey Bacon
Contributing Writer
“Champions.” No matter what the
occasion is, it’s a word that inexorably
is connected to the biggest, best, and
most esteemed of whatever category it’s
applied to. So, for a small squad from
Southern Maryland to earn such a ti-
tle—specifically, to be ranked the num-
ber one team in America in their divi-
sion— the high is one that hasn’t waned
yet.
“[It’s] pretty awesome,” Maya Velez,
Cougar Elite Cheer’s longtime director,
says with a smile. The victory for their
squad, the appropriately-named PRIDE,
is exponentially sweeter when many of
these athletes are relatively new to the
sport. They’re ranked in the youth level-
one division, meaning that they’re com-
ing in at an introductory level to com-
petitive cheer. Further, while their divi-
sion sees cheerleaders as old as twelve
years old, many of PRIDE’s athletes
were younger at nine, ten, and eleven.
“For that team in particular,” says
Velez, “to win at U.S. Finals” in Virgin-
ia Beach to wrap up their season, “we
were all just over-the-moon for them be-
cause they’ve worked so hard this year
for that. Then for them to take it a step
further and be ranked number one in the
nation, that was amazing.”
Coming together in 2008, Cougar
Elite Cheer (CEC) was initially formed
amongst the middle schools in the coun-
ty. These squads merged and expanded
in the 2010-11 season, allowing Cougar
to broaden its age group—teams now
feature athletes from four to eighteen
years old— and travel to competitions
across the country. From there, the pro-
gram’s five teams would continue to
climb the ranks and improve with each
passing season, getting ready to ramp up
their next season with over 100 athletes
and ten coaches.
Their 2018 season is a testament to
their teams’ accumulated talents: among
them, 21 First Place championships, two
fully-paid bids each to U.S. Finals and
Level Legends, one U.S. Final champi-
onship, and one U.S. Final Grand cham-
pionship win for the ladies of PRIDE.
In contrast to sideline cheer—the
stereotypical image of cheerleaders
at sports events with signs and pom-
poms—the competitive cheer that these
athletes participate in has no team to
root for. Instead, Velez details that their
teams are run “like an All-Star gym,”
where athletes perform two to two-and-
a-half minute routines to music that fea-
tures tumbling, running, balance, and
airborne stunts. With All-Star cheer
including a competition category for
recreational programs, the Maryland
Recreation and Parks-affiliated CEC
can provide the “All-Star experience but
at the recreation price,” helping “fami-
lies who may otherwise be priced out of
these kind of team sports still have that
opportunity,” says Velez.
While the trophies are a clear advan-
tage for PRIDE—and the Cougars pro-
gram overall—to brag about, Velez says
that one of the biggest achievements
of the year is “getting the respect” that
cheer deserves as a sport, both for par-
ents and the athletes who compete in
this sport ten to eleven months out of the
year. Recounting a story when she was
honored with a Coach of the Year award,
Velez says she “was talking with several
gentleman and they were like, ‘Cheer-
leading? I mean, that’s great that you’re
a volunteer, but is that even a sport?’”
Laughing, she says, “My husband was
like, ‘I’m going to walk in this way, be-
cause she’s about to chew you out.’ I told
them all, ‘Come run that two minute and
thirty second campaign and you tell me
if you think it’s a sport.’”
Velez attributes the success of this
season to the team’s opportunity to
access the full spring floor at the St.
Mary’s Gymnastic Center. “[It] was a
game changer because that is what we
compete on.” While each team has the
opportunity to practice here, they split
their time at the Carver Recreation Cen-
ter, culminating to five hours of practice
each week for every athlete to learn rou-
tines, stunting, and more. “Everything
is broken down, and each coach has a
focus for each practice or for a chunk of
their practice on how they handle those
skills.”
It’s this dedicated coaching that
Velez directly cites for the monumen-
tal year that CEC has seen, particularly
for PRIDE with its coaches Chris and
Jen Rodriguez. “They have four kids
in our program, and they bleed it, as
well. They’re all in. They make sure
that they’re teaching those basics, and
they’re really making sure that they’re
learning them, so they can move up to
the next level.”
What’s next for the program? “The
goal is to always be better,” says Velez.
“Let’s get two or three grand champions;
let’s have these kids have more fun; let’s
make the program bigger; let’s learn
bigger, better skills. Just the next step is
to keep pushing them, because… they
have that drive. It’s five hours a week
for these kids and another full-time job
for me, and I can say that for all of my
coaches. We love it, we bleed it; it’s what
we do. So, we’ll push them and fight for
every opportunity for them to be even
better.”
While CEC’s season nine kicks off
mid-July, Velez says the team will con-
tinue to accept interested athletes for
private evaluations through the end of
the month. And, she notes, experience
isn’t required. “95-percent of kids in the
program got their skills from us; they
started from the bottom and worked
their way up. We have introductory [and
beyond]… We have a space for every-
body, because while our focus is to have
a great season and win, it really is to
provide a service to St. Mary’s.
“We [St. Mary’s] have a lot of wonder-
ful sports leagues and I think we’re all
trying to do the same thing: let’s get the
love of this sport that we have—what-
ever it is—out there as an opportunity…
We want to give kids these avenues and
opportunities.”

Book Signing Part of First Friday in Leonardtown

Sheldon Johnson
As part of First Friday in Leonard-
town on July 6, Fenwick Street Used
Books and Music will be hosting Shel-
ton Johnson, who will be signing copies
of his book, Mr. Wilder from 5-7 p.m.
After publishing the first two novels
of his whimsical adult humored Fam-
ily Comedy Trilogy, Norfolk, VA na-
tive, Shelton Johnson decided to write
his first traditional novel, ‘Mr. Wilder’.
When asked, Johnson says that this
stand-alone novel was inspired by the
relevant internal issues we face as a
country, and it is his prayer that this
book brings an end to the racial divide
in this great country that he calls home.
Having only been regarded as a come-
dic novelist, Johnson was asked if read-
ers should expect heavy doses of humor
in this novel as well? “Well, I did a lot
of things different with this novel. This
is the first time I’ve ever written in third
person past tense. This is the first time
I’ve ever addressed a national issue.
And this is the first time I’ve ever had to
sustain a serious tone for that long. Even
still, yes, I did manage to sprinkle in a
little humor along the way to help light-
en the mood a bit on such a heavy topic.”
Johnson went on to say that “Mr.
Wilder should be read by any adult who
is affected by, a part of, concerned with,
or curious about the racial tension cur-
rently taking place in America.”
Johnson plans to return his attention
to the Family Comedy Trilogy, in hopes
of releasing the 3rd and final novel, ‘A
New Year’s Comedy’, this December.
He currently resides in Maryland with
his wife and 2 children.

Sotterley Holds Family Farm Day

Decorating Kindness Rocks Grant Newbury gives a beekeeping demonstration John Cook shows off his newly-built Chesapeake Bay
Log Canoe.

By Dick Myers
Editor
Historic Sotterley Plantation in Hollywood held its
first ever Family Farm Day on Saturday, June 30. The
event emphasized the fact that Sotterley throughout its
history has been a working farm.
Activities for the entire family were spread out
throughout the plantation’s grounds. In the field nor-
mally used for overflow parking, the Southern Mary-
land Antique Power Association captured the arriving
visitors with tractor demos, pulls and exhibits. And
throughout the day there were kiddie tractor rides.
On the Visitor Center lawn there were children crafts
all day. The kids were given the opportunity to show
their artistic talents by painting Kindness Rocks.
In the area in front of the barn, there were talks
about beekeeping with Grant Newbury. Nearby, John
Cook showed off his just-about-completed Chesapeake
Bay Log Canoe, the first built in Southern Maryland in
decades. They were prevalent in the late 19th century
for oyster harvesting. Cook plans to enter races with
the canoe on the Eastern Shore
The day complemented the regularly scheduled
Farmer’s Market. Just outside the market the popular
country oldies band Country Memories performed.
The Family Farm Day was sponsored by SAIC along
with other local businesses.

Recognizes Readers Theatre Group
The Garvey Senior Activity Center’s
Readers Theatre group received an honor-
able mention from the Maryland Associa-
tion of Senior Centers for the work in the
Expressive and Creative Arts category on
June 14.
“We’re delighted,” said Readers The-
atre volunteer facilitators Linda Lagle.
Lagle was first approached by Garvey
Senior Activity Center Operations Man-
ager Brandy Tulley two years ago with the
idea of starting a theatre group.
“We wanted to develop a theatre group
that offers a low pressure opportunity for
our senior members to get involved with
theater. Ms. Lagle had the idea to try
Reader’s Theater and it has worked well,”
Tulley said.
The group rehearses twice a month and
performs at the Garvey Senior Activity
Center a few times during the year. They
have even performed in the community at
local senior living facilities and nursing
homes.
“I am proud of the work they do and that
they were recognized by the Maryland
Association of Senior Centers,” Tulley
said. “We can’t wait to see what they have
in store for future productions.”
Senior Center Operations Division
Manager Alice Allen was pleased to hear
about the recognition the Readers Theatre
group has received and looks forward to
seeing the group at Garvey Senior Activ-
ity Center continue to grow.
“I love the concept of Readers Theatre,”
she said. “It’s a wonderful opportunity for
theatre-type activities without the readers’
stress of memorizing parts. And the skits
are usually hilarious.”
“It’s such a talented and fun group of
actors,” Lagle said. “Everyone has a good
time giving their all for each performance.”
The Reader’s Theatre group rehearses
twice each month with lunchtime perfor-
mances every quarter. The next perfor-
mance will be held in the fall on a date to
be determined. The group is always look-
ing for new talent and no experience is
necessary to join, Lagle said.

volved, call 301-475-4200, ext. *1073 or

Be Sure to Have Fresh CSM Alum Returns as Hawks’ Soccer Coach

Cut Bait for Catfish

Michele Chelednik shows off a Rockfish
taken from the shoreline near Hog Point in
the Patuxent on a top water lure.
By Ken Lamb
Contributing Writer
Bottom fisherman have found Rock-
fish in the Hawk’s Nest area in the Patux-
ent. The Rockfish are mixed with Perch
and Catfish. Farther up the Patuxent on
the Calvert side across from Greenwell
State Park, there are plenty of White
Perch for bottom fishermen using bits of
bloodworms.
Croakers moved into casting distance
from the Solomons Pier last Sunday
evening after the rain and good catches
were made.
Catfish are very active in Wicomico at
Bushwood Wharf. Fresh cut bait is the
key. Anglers report catching a dozen or
so in a couple of hours, and the fish are
in the hefty two to twelve pound size.
The catfish are not limited to the Wic-
omico as the tasty fish range from Piney
Point north to the District. The Patux-
ent has Catfish all up and down with the
best locations from Benedict to Jug Bay.
The upper Bay still has the best and
most consistent Rockfish. The mouth
of the Choptank and the false channel
is loaded with fish, and most everyone
there is limiting out in a short period
of time. Trolling and chunking are the
main methods being used.
We await Spot to come to us from
the south. As soon as that migration
starts, many Striper fisherman will start
live-lining.
Jake Shelton has a long history with
men’s soccer at College of Southern
Maryland, and now he is continuing that
history by taking on the role of the team’s
head coach.
The 2008 La Plata High School gradu-
ate played soccer as a CSM Hawk while
working in the college’s fitness center
as a certified personal trainer. When he
graduated CSM, he transferred to Lake
Erie College, where he played on its soc-
cer team and was named captain for two
years.
Michelle Ruble, CSM’s executive direc-
tor of student life and athletics, said the
college is looking forward to the benefits
such a seasoned player as Shelton will
bring to the team and his ability to share
his knowledge of both soccer and the mis-
sion of CSM to his players.
“Coach Shelton brings expertise and
wonderful enthusiasm to grow our soccer
program, and I’m excited to see what he
does for us here at CSM,” Ruble said.
Shelton received his bachelor’s in busi-
ness administration—with a minor in fi-
nance—in 2013 from Lake Erie College,
after which he took the role of Graduate
Assistant Coach for the Men’s Soccer Pro-
gram there. Under his leadership, the team
appeared in the conference playoffs for the
first time in school history and reached the
conference final two years in a row.
Shelton completed his master’s in busi-
ness administration in 2015 at Lake Erie.
At the same time, he was playing and
coaching soccer—all while working as a
personal trainer and a loan officer for C&F
Mortgage, and then account manager with
the company VSGi.
Shelton said he is happy to be coming
back to CSM, where he knows he will be
able to create a strong culture of competi-
tive soccer. “My main vision is to develop
the players both physically and technically
so they can go on to compete on the field
and in the classroom,” he said.
The Hawks’ returning players have al-
ready begun their off-season work, with
conditioning and practice several days
a week. They will ramp up their efforts
in August, just before the season begins.
“We’ve already hit the ground running for
fall,” Shelton said.
Shelton said he wants to give back to
the CSM soccer program that gave him
his start in his collegiate career, where he
said he was able to develop as a person and
player. “I have a clear vision for where I
want to take this program and the players
who are a part of it. I am very excited to
see the success that will come to the CSM
Men’s Soccer Program,” he said.

programs, visit www.csmd.edu/athletics.

  Glen Segundo Ives
Glen Segundo
Ives, Chief War-
rant Officer (4),
United States
Army (Retired),
84, of Orlando,
Florida, passed
away peacefully
in the arms of
his loving son
and daughter on
Monday, June 25, 2018 at the Neighbor-
hood Hospice Center, Chester County
Hospital in West Chester, Pennsylvania.
He died as he lived—bravely--like the
true soldier he was.
He was predeceased by his beloved
wife Jung (Jaye) S. Ives, with whom he
shared 55 years of true love, happiness,
and adventure.
He is survived by his son, Glen R. Ives,
The County Times
Captain, United States Navy (Retired),
daughter-in-law Barbara Arlene, Captain,
United States Navy Reserve (Retired),
and their sons Glen Christopher (Eliza-
beth), former Lieutenant, United States
Navy, Matthew Francis (Amanda), Major,
United States Marine Corps Reserve and
Specialist John Alexander, United States
Army, of St. Mary’s County, Maryland;
his daughter and baby Linda Susana Ives,
former Captain, United States Army, son-
in-law Philip J. Rymiszewski, Lieutenant
Colonel, United States Army Reserve
(Retired), and their sons Spencer Keenan
Ives and Archer Cameron Ives, of West
Chester, Pennsylvania.
Glen was born and raised in Locayo,
Chile. His father, Glen Perry Ives, upon
graduation from college in South Da-
kota, decided to travel abroad to South
America to seek his fortune and settled
in Chile, where he established a mining
operation and met and married his wife
Gustavina del Transito Castillo de Ives.
Glen Segundo was their 8th and young-
est child and inherited his father’s coura-
geous spirit for adventure and discovery.
He exercised his U.S. citizenship on his
18th birthday and came to the United
States to enlist in the U.S. Army during
the Korean War to honor his father who
had passed away several years earlier.
After Basic Training, he found himself
on a ship bound for Korea. Years later, he
would say that during that long crossing,
he had a premonition that his life would
change there … and surely it did. What
followed could have been the theme of a
great romance novel from that era. Ser-
endipitously, he met a very bright, beau-
tiful, and engaging young police woman
while serving in post war Seoul, Korea.
And although they spoke very different
languages and had grown up in dissimilar
cultures a world apart, an overwhelming
“love at first sight” brought them together
and made them determined to overcome
the immovable bureaucracies of two gov-
ernments, to marry.
Marry they did! And that was the prov-
idential beginning of an extraordinary
life together as they started their family
and embraced an Army adventure that
took them all across the globe on many
assignments and tours that brought them
true happiness, purpose, and fulfillment.
After Korea and a follow on assignment
in Japan, they moved every year or two
throughout their Army life. For many
years, it was just the four of them to-
gether through those many duty stations,
and as challenging as that nomadic life
could have been, they were successful in
achieving their most important life goal,
always providing the most loving home
and a deep sense of learning for their
two children. Even as Glen served three
separate year-long tours in Vietnam, their
family only grew stronger through their
enduring example of unwavering love
and devotion.
After over 30 years of distinguished
service and sacrifice for his country,
through the end of the Korean War, Viet-
nam War, and the Cold War, Glen retired
from the Army and joined Martin Mari-
etta which later became Lockheed Mar-
tin, leading their global logistics support
program for the Apache helicopter. He
continued to share his boundless knowl-
edge and experience and caring leader-
ship with his Lockheed Martin team and
inspired them to achieve numerous mile-
stones and awards while directly support-
ing this vitally important Army aviation
capability through the Gulf War and the
wars in Afghanistan and Iraq following
the 9-11 terrorist attacks.
Despite over 55 years of professional
service and hard work, Glen is most re-
membered as the most devoted and lov-
ing husband, father, grandfather. There
was nothing he wouldn’t do to bring
happiness to his family, and he truly em-
bodied the old but compelling phrase,
“actions speak louder than words.” That
simple ethic, combined with his abiding,
steadfast love served as the foundation of
his life and as an enduring inspiration for
his children and grandchildren.
That humble but powerful phrase
also characterized his fight with cancer
over the past two years. He personified
grace, strength, and determination while
soldiering through, once again, another
daunting life challenge, a challenge he
never let defeat him. He was blessed to
experience the same exceptional love,
care, and support as his wife Jaye, from
the incredibly dedicated health care pro-
fessionals of Chester County Hospital
and the Cancer Center of Chester County.
Their family will always be forever grate-
ful to them.
His funeral Mass will be held Friday,
July 6, 2018 at St. Agnes Church, 233
West Gay Street, West Chester, Pennsyl-
vania; visitation from 9:00-10:00 a.m.,
followed by Mass at 10:00. Interment
will be at a later date at Arlington Na-
tional Cemetery. Our friends are invited
to share in camaraderie at a luncheon fol-
lowing the funeral service at Penn Oaks
Golf Club, 150 Penn Oaks Drive, West
Chester, Pa.

Unity at the Polls
To the Editor:
Tuesday turned out to be a very
special election day at Dynard El-
ementary. I coved Dynard for 2014
& 2016 elections for the Democrats
where there also was coverage for the
Republicans. We snarled at each other
and I did not like that.
For 2016, I arrived very early to
get the best location, and later Myra
Hughes (last on the right for Steve
Waugh in the attached picture)
showed up with campaign literature
but no table or chairs. We (wife Nan-
cy Lord Zearfoss, Ph.D.) growled at
each other at first. However, we began
talking, took pity on her, and shared
half our table with her. By the end
of the day, we became great friends
and now are best friends with her and
socialize with her on a regular basis.
We decided to share a table this year.
I printed up and we attached to our
table a “Democrat/Republican Unity
Pavilion” sign.
Denise Kopel also later showed up

Jack Bailey T-shirt. She asked if we
would share out ground space with
her for her canopy and table. This be-
ing a unity pavilion of course I said
yes. So, we have our two canopies and
tables side by side. Shew also taped
the unity sign and republican signs to
her table.
Then the wind came up blowing
around our canopies. We then taped
our canopies legs together to better
secure them, and that kept them in
place. I said to Denise at the end of
the day that even as rivals, had we not
cooperated in taping our canopies to-
gether, neither one of us would have
had a canopy. There is a moral there
somewhere.
