The Tri-County Council of Southern
Maryland welcomed Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation (DLLR)
secretary Kelly Schulz to talk to local
elected officials, business owners and
representatives at their monthly meeting.
Schulz was asked what department
she would like to work with when Governor Larry Hogan invited her to join his
cabinet. She chose to work with DLLR in
hopes of helping to make Maryland more
welcoming to industry.
One of the first steps was training the
nearly 2,000 DLLR employees in customer service, Schulz said.
Secretary of the Department of Labor, Licensing,
Stakeholder groups, including em- and Regulation (DLLR) Kelly Schulz

regulations are problematic, or what can be effect on July 1, Schulz said, and there are
done to fix them, they had difficulty identi- nine workgroups studying the changed

Police believe speed to be a factor

in a fatal motorcycle accident involving a Baltimore man on Sunday evening in Port Republic.
According to a press release provided by Captain Todd Ireland, of the
Calvert County Sheriffs Office, on
June 21, at approximately 5:55 p.m.,
police were dispatched to the area of
Grays Road and Glenmont Ct. in response to the fatal accident involving
Brian Butler Johnson, 37.
Members of the Calvert County
Sheriffs Office Reconstruction Team
were notified to respond to the scene
and assumed the investigation due to
the severity of Johnsons injuries.
Johnson was transported to Calvert
Memorial Hospital where he succumbed to his injuries at 6:29 p.m.
According to police, Johnson was
operating a 2004 Suzuki GSXR 1000
while traveling west on Grays Road
in the vicinity of Glenmont Ct. when
the motorcycle crossed the centerline
and continued off the left side of the
roadway. Preliminary investigation
further revealed that before leaving
the roadway, the motorcycle lay down
and skidded out of control where

Johnson was ejected.
Corporal Moschetto and Deputy
First Class (DFC) Fox determined
speed to be a factor in the crash;
Johnson crashed on Grays Road,
where the speed limit is 40 mph.
According to police, the Calvert
Control Center received a traffic
complaint from a concerned citizen
at 5:46 p.m. regarding a reckless operator on a motorcycle that matched
the description of Johnsons bike.
According to police, the traffic complaint was reported to be in the area
of Broomes Island Road and Grays
Road.
According to the press release, witnesses on the scene informed police
that the motorcycle was observed
multiple times, prior to the crash,
driving at a high rate of speed in a
reckless manner in the vicinity
of Broomes Island Road and Grays
Road.
Anyone who may have witnessed
this accident or the events leading
up to it is encouraged to contact DFC
Fox at 410-535-2800.

Summer weather is making flowers bloom, and

local organizations are blooming too! One such
organization is St. Maries Musica Choral Singers of Southern Maryland, who will be greatly
expanding in the coming months, beginning with
the establishment of a Board of Directors.
We have an Executive Board now that is
within the group, and you know, holding the positions of chair, treasurer, secretary, and that group
does a lot of the artistic direction choices for St.
Maries Musica, but now that were expanding, we
would like to create some more outside direction.
Its really an advisory board, an external advisory
board. It will just be a good way for us to make
sure were connected with the community. Were
going to try to look for someone with accounting experience, someone with law experience, so
that were doing all the right things, St. Maries
Musica Director Krystal Rickard McCoy said. St.
Maries Musica is looking for community members outside of its current group of musicians
to become a part of this Board and to guide the
group in the right direction as it expands from
St. Maries Musica into something more. It will
be the officers of our current Executive Board
mixed with outside people, definitely we want
outside people so that we really get community
membership involved, a community response.
For instance, one of our members already on that
advisory board, his name is Greg Wallace, hes
actually a member of Cosmic, which is our local
community orchestra, but he will serve on our
board just to give us that perspective of someone
who participates in a music ensemble that is not
a choir but is still in Southern Maryland. Rickard McCoy said. The main responsibility is to
provide information regarding the structuring
of our system, the inner workings of the system.
For instance, with the person who is experienced
with law or experienced with accounting, when
we have a question regarding insurance we have
contacts who are aware of our organization who
can provide us with good adviceand to provide inspiration and keep us connected with the
community.
St. Maries Musica was established in 1971 as
the Madrigal Concert Ensemble, changing its
name to St. Maries Musica ten years later. Still
happy to embrace change, next year, the group
will become a larger organization, to be known
as St. Maries Choral Arts, an umbrella organization that will host multiple choirs and will provide
more singing opportunities to the surrounding
Serious
Crash on
Route 231
By Lauren Procopio
Staff Writer
A severe collision involving
four vehicles and one motorcycle shut down traffic in both
lanes on Route 231 Tuesday
morning.
According to the Calvert
County Sheriffs Office, on June
23, at approximately 11:14 a.m.,
traffic was halted on Route 231,
in the area of Sixes Road, due
to the serious collision motorists were advised to take the
Thomas Johnson Bridge instead
of traveling on Route 231. An
update from the Sheriffs Office
at 11:33 a.m., stated motorists
who were traveling eastbound
on the roadway were now able
to take Seagull Beach Road,
however westbound traffic was
at a standstill and the road remained closed to motorists.

According to an update provided by the Sheriffs Office,
at approximately 1 p.m., the
Prince Frederick and Benedict
Fire Departments and Rescue
Squads had since responded to
the collision and members from
the Calvert County Sheriffs Office were reconstructing the accident. According to the release,
two patients were transported
via helicopter, while others were
transported to Calvert Memorial
Hospital.
Route 231 opened up at approximately 1:36 p.m., according to the Sheriffs Office.
community.
St. Maries Musica Choir is going to continue,
but were actually going to be expanding into an
organization called St. Maries Choral Arts, and
that organization is going to host multiple choirs.
Currently, we have three different singing choirs,
or ensembles, and next year were going to have
five. Were really expanding to be not just St.
Maries Musica, but a choral organization that
offers singing opportunities for everyone in the
county. St. Maries Musica is an auditioned ensembleand has no more than 24 members, so
its pretty select. When I moved down here five
years ago, I realized there are probably more than
just 24 people that want to sing in a group, so
thats why, little by little, weve been expanding,
and why were going to go by St. Maries Choral
Arts next year. Its super exciting, Rickard McCoy said. Were undergoing a huge expansion.
Were making a lot of changes this year, coming
up. Were starting a childrens choir next year. For
the summer, were going to have a couple of Summer Sing nights, and so theyre going to be free
nights where kids can come and were going to
do some getting-to-know-you games, were going
to do some general music activities, well have
them sing together and well prepare for what is
not a hard audition, just prepare them for auditions By starting the childrens choir well be
serving singers all the way from 2nd Grade to
adulthood.
St. Maries Musica will also be creating an
internship program, which will be open to high
school students and graduates.
We also have another new program that were
starting, this summer is wild, Im starting an internship program, a singing internship. Its available for students who are either in high school or
graduates of high school, and the internship offers them the opportunity to sing with St. Maries
Musica as intern members, so it gives them the
experience of singing with St. Maries Musica,
Rickard McCoy said.
At the moment, Leonardtown High School
(LHS) serves as St. Maries Musicas home, and
rehearsals will be held there every Monday from
September to May, hosted by assistant director
Kylie Oosterink, who is also the choir director at
LHS, Rickard McCoy stated. Change is on the horizon for St. Maries Musica, and they would love
you to be a part of it.
For more information about St. Maries Musica,

GMC Sierra.
According to police, the GMC
Sierra was operated by Barbara
Shields, of Tracys Landing,
and was occupied by Thomas
Rymer, of Chesapeake Beach.
According to police, following the collision, the GMC traveled off the eastbound side of
the roadway and collided with
a wooded fence before coming
to a final rest in a small wooded
area.
Police stated the Jeep then collided/sideswiped a Honda Civic,
operated by Matthew Cumers,
of Lusby; the Honda was traveling directly behind the GMC.
According to police, following the collision, the Jeep rolled
and the operator was ejected
the vehicle came to a final rest
in a ditch on the eastbound side

Memorial Hospital; Rymer, the
passenger in the GMC, was
released.
The conditions of the other

The Fate of
the Solomons
Visitor Center
Last week, the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) discovered an error in

the recently approved fiscal year (FY) 2016
budget that allotted $100,000 to the Calvert
Chamber of Commerce to staff and run the
Solomons Visitor Center as a third party
contractor.
In 2014, the previous BOCC voted to
close the Fairview Visitors Center and keep
the Solomons Visitor Center open until
June 30, 2015. The allotment was mistakenly left in the budget for FY 2016, said Commissioner Evan K. Slaughenhoupt Jr. The
BOCC voted last week to move the visitor
center to the Calvert Marine Museum and
use existing staff to man the center.
During the June 23 BOCC meeting, staff
from the Solomons Visitor Center came
to speak out against closing the visitors
center.
At the Solomons visitor center, we
sell the county, said local historian Van
Ireland.
He said he understood the decision last
week from an economic standpoint, but the
visitors center points people to local businesses and parks, which has a positive economic impact.
This center and its information specialists provide a valuable service to the community and can provide information about
the county for visitors and people thinking
of moving to the area and more, said visi-
tor center staff member Caroline Meadows.

They provide real people willing to meet
the needs of visitors.
Theres no substitute for a warm welcome, she said.
Commissioner Tom Hejl agreed with the
visitor center staff, saying though he wasnt
on the BOCC last year, he didnt agree with
the descision to completely close the Fairview Visitors Center. He expressed doubts
that the staff at the Calvert Marine Museum could direct tourists in addition to their
normal duties.
Commissioner Mike Hart supported
moving the visitors center to the museum,
saying it would be an ideal location due to
its recent renovations.
Slaughenhoupt argued that there are currently no funds in the budget to continue
funding the visitors center. The $100,000
given to the Chamber of Commerce could
go to fund other needs, he said.
I just dont see the cost benefit in any
of this.
Eventually, the commissioners agreed in
a three to two vote to keep the visitors center open. Instead of using the Chamber of
Commerce to run the center, they voted to
offer existing staff the opportunity to work
as contractors directly with Calvert County
and staff the visitors center.

Lusby Man
Sentenced to 11
Years in Prison
By Lauren Procopio
Staff Writer
A Lusby man was sentenced

last Thursday afternoon by U.S.
District Judge Paul Grimm to
11 years in prison for distributing heroin to a person who died
as a result of ingesting the drug.
According to a press release
provided by the U.S. Attorneys
Office for the District of Maryland, Russell Edward Johnson,
24, accepted a plea agreement
on April 21, with the stipulation
of pleading guilty to the aforementioned charge, in exchange
for having the sentencing guidelines of 10 to 12 years in prison;
the charge carries the penalty of
20 years to life in prison.
According to Johnsons plea
agreement, on July 18, 2013, at
approximately 4:38 p.m., Jacob
Paddy contacted Johnson via
text message to purchase heroin. The two met in the area of St.
Leonard, where the victim paid
Johnson $60 for the drugs. According to the plea agreement,

the victim contacted the defendant again at approximately
10:17 p.m. to purchase more and
both agreed to meet in St. Leonard again. Shortly after, Johnson drove to the victims home
and picked him up and drove
him to PNC Bank so the victim
could withdraw money. According to the plea agreement,
after the victim purchased the
heroin, Johnson drove the victim back to his residence where
he ingested the fatal dose.
More people die of heroin overdoses than murder in
Maryland, U.S. Attorney Rod
J. Rosenstein said. Heroin
dealers are selling death and
despair.
According to the press release, Daniel C. Gardner prosecuted the case.

2017 - Sooner Than

You May Think
Thursday, augusT 7, 2014

As we enjoy the heat of summer 2015, ongoing planning extends over many future
seasons. Specifically, in June 2015, we just
passed the budget for the fiscal year 2016
(which begins July 1). Already, plans are underway building the Fiscal Year 2017 budget.
Here is a progress report to assist with expectations for the upcoming months.
The different approach for FY-17 is a back
to basics approach. Currently, two of our
county departments are trying to conclude
their initial documentation of identifying the
resources needed to satisfy the Services and
Functions they provide. These two departments are the Budget and Finance organization and Public Safety.
As this column is being written, there is
high anticipation they may have that initial
documentation completed within a week or
two at the most. This critical step will be
helpful as this level of detail will become
available as an example for the other departments to complete their portion of the build.
This documentation is being complied
within a spreadsheet. Upon reaching a level
of maturity (completed documentation for
all the county departments), it will become
available for the commissioners to analyze,
debate, and decide upon county direction.
This spreadsheet will also serve as a new
decision making tool for the county commissioners. The goal is for this to be available to
the public by October 2015; a critical date, as
it tends to represent when the normal budget
build cycle really begins to get serious.

What the public sees when this set of

documentation becomes available are descriptions of the Services each department
provides to the public. It also describes the
Functions each department performs that
support those Services. Additionally, each
Service and Function will have a Basis of Estimate describing why each department requires the amount of resources they identify
to implement those Services and Functions.
The most important part is the language will
be in laymans terms.
The Board of County Commissioners will
need to determine the relative priority of
each of the Services and Functions. As important these relative priorities may be, it
will be the associated dialogue and decisions
generated through this new budget build approach that will yield the optimum results.
This new approach will permit any citizen
to have the same detailed level of insight into
county operations as currently possible by
the county staff. Everyone should anticipate
a level of discussion over what exactly the
government does and associated costs. The
budget will be more than simply numbers
as it will reflect the priority of the decision
makers; based upon citizen input.
Stay tuned, 2017 will be here sooner than
one may think.

Feature Story
Feature
Everything a Boater Could Need and More
By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
From boat repairs to sailing classes and

quality food, Zahnisers Yacht Center has
something for everyone.
Zahnisers was founded in the 1960s,
when Skip Zahnisers father built the first
pier and rebuilt the railway. He spent his
summers running the railway. For a time,
Zahnisers was the only marina in the area
that could accommodate sailboats needing
to be dry-docked for repairs.
Skip and his wife, Ellen Zahniser, took
over the business in 1972 and began purchasing adjoining properties to expand the
services offered and number of slips and
moorings available.
Ellen credits Zahnisers continued popularity to a focus on customer service and a
high-quality staff.
The quality of what they do is what your
reputation is built on, Skip said.
Zahnisers employs approximately 70 employees at any given time, Ellen said, with
35 in the Dry Dock restaurant alone. Some
employees in the boat yard have been with
Zahnisers since the 1980s. A number of
the older buildings at Zahnisers were built
by the employees during off seasons, Skip
said. Ellen and Skip make it a point to find
the best of the best, having hired experts in
woodworking, electrical repair, mechanical
repair, and more from as far away as Maine
Skip and Ellen Zahniser
and New York. Most employees have a wide

set of skills, Skip said.
Were very lucky that we have a good
core of people, Ellen said.
The boaters who stay at Zahnisers praise
the crew as well. According to a testimony
from Annapolis resident Jeremy Hopkins,
available on the Zahnisers website, I had
the pleasure of staying overnight at a transient slip in your marina. The marina facilities, as always, were first rate, but I am
writing specifically to commend the efforts
of Dockmaster Terry Walters. Her directions were clear and concise and the transient dock was easily identified and clearly
marked for an after hours arrival. The
registration procedure the following morning was quick, pleasant, and efficient. If
only one could look forward to such consideration and courtesy at the other (many)
marinas I visit each year.
Zahnisers primary business is boat repair, Skip said. In the past they built boats,
but now they focus on boat repair and upkeep. Zahnisers can supply just about anything a boat needs to get done, Skip said.
In addition to repair and docking, Zahnisers offers a pool, a bar and a restaurant.
They have a marine surveyor on site. Quantum Sail Design and Canvas has a location
at Zahnisers, and they are home to Sail Solomons, a school offering lessons to sailors
of all levels.
The Patuxent River and the Chesapeake
Bay are popular cruising grounds, especially in the summer, Skip said. Zahnisers
goal is to provide a quality experience for
long time slip holders and transient visitors.
Zahnisers has been on the best of the bay
list published in Chesapeake Bay Magazine
for the past 25 years, Skip said.
It hasnt been a passive place where we
collect slip fees, Ellen said.
Skip and Ellen have been involved in the
maritime community in the area for a long
time. Skip is a charter member of the Southern Maryland Sailing Association (SMSA).
The weekly keelboat races started as a way
to blow off steam among sailors in the area.
The races were taken over by SMSA years
ago, Skip said, but they still host a weekly

after party for the race results. Similarly, the
annual Screwpile Race started out at Zahnisers as the Audi Yachting Race.
In addition to water-based activities, both
Skip and Ellen have served a number of
boards in Calvert in an effort to give back
to the community. Boards they have served
on include the Calvert Marine Museum,
Calvert Memorial Hospital, the Jefferson
Patterson Park and Museum, the Planning
Commission, and Sotterley Plantation.
For more information, visit www.zahnisers.com.
The Dry Dock Restaurant displays a number of burgees, brought to Solomons by visiting captains.

SMECO Awards
College Scholarships
SMECO Awards College Scholarships
Southern Maryland Electric Cooperative
(SMECO) has awarded four scholarships
to high school seniors for 2015. Each year,
SMECO awards four $1,500 college scholarships to students who live in the Co-ops
service area. Scholarships are based on the
applicants scholastic achievement, financial need, and school and community involvement. SMECO has awarded scholarships to 92 students over the past 22 years.
Each of the following students will receive
a $1,500 college scholarship.
Jordan Parker, daughter of Robert and
Stephanie Parker of La Plata, graduated
from McDonough High School. An accomplished pianist, Parkers talent for composing and playing music enables her to
perform for residents of the Genesis Health
Center on weekends. She participated in
the varsity swim team, Envirothon, and Its
Academic, and she tutors Spanish-speaking English language learners. According
to Bradley Snow, McDonough High School
principal, Jordan has created a balance between her passion for the arts while maintaining academic rigor by participating in
some of our most challenging courses. She
has displayed exceptional leadership qualities in school and in extracurricular activities. Parker plans to attend St. Marys
College of Maryland in St. Marys City to
study English education.
Melanie Lippert, daughter of Richard
and Catherine Lippert of St. Leonard,
graduated from Calvert High School. She
competed in varsity soccer, tennis, and
swim teams. She participated in Key Club,
National Honor Society, Future Business
Leaders of America, and the Community
Mentorship program. Lippert received several honors and awards, including Minds
in Motion Scholar Athlete, AP Scholar
with Distinction, and Calvert High School
Change Maker. She volunteers with the
Mechanicsville Optimist Club and the Calvert Animal Welfare League, and she has
interned at the Calvert Recorder newspaper
and Calvert Physical Therapy. Mark Vorensky, physical therapist, said, Melanie
redefined the term job shadowing. She
asked questions that were thoughtful, chal-
lenging, and relevant. I was always pushed

to keep up with her questions, which made
me a better clinician. Melanie showed a
distinct passion for our work in the clinic,
but more importantly, she has an incredible
curiosity and passion for learning. I know
that Melanie will not only succeed, she will
elevate those around her. Lippert plans to
study biology at the University of Richmond in Virginia.
Annie Rose Yates, daughter of Ronald
and Mary Yates of Solomons, graduated
from St. Marys Ryken. She received the
president scholar award and was a member
of the National Honor Society. Yates participated in varsity lacrosse and swim teams,
and she is involved with Christmas in April
projects, Best Buddies Club, tutoring, and
fundraising for her club and church activities. Annie displays an acute analytical
mind when delving into any science problem. Her research, experimentation skills,
and attention to detail far exceed what I
normally see in an AP student, said Susan McEvoy, science teacher at St. Marys
Ryken. Yates plans to study elementary/
special education at Loyola University of
Maryland in Baltimore.
Ricardo McNutt, son of Robert and Iliana McNutt of Lexington Park, graduated
from The Kings Christian Academy. McNutt participated in varsity soccer, varsity
track, the Fellowship of Christian Athletes,
and the National Honor Society. He has
traveled to the Philippines and Ecuador for
mission trips. He is interested in computers
and coding, and he loves to play and write

Summer Camps Now Open

at Annmarie Garden
By Taylor DeVille
Contributing Writer
There are countless summer camps for
kids who love sports, swimming and the
great outdoors, but what about camps for
creative kids who love building, drawing,
painting and sculpting artwork while enjoying the beauty of nature? If that sounds
like something your child would enjoy,
then look no further than the Annmarie
Garden summer camps.
We value the arts here and we think that
an arts education really helps strengthen
critical thinking skills, said Jaimie Jeffrey,
curator of education at Annmarie Garden,
located in Lusby. Socially it helps them
grow as well.
This summer, Annmarie Garden offers 28
weeklong camps for kids
in pre-K, grades one to
three, and grades four to
six; tweens from grades
seven to nine; and teens
from grades 10 to 12. The
classes vary by age group.
If its not messy, we
dont tend to keep it in
our curriculum, Jeffrey laughed. We like to
encourage creativity to
spread beyond the confines of what [the kids are]
used to having in school
and home.
For instance, the Creative Construction
and Woodworking camp (for tweens grades
seven to nine) allows campers to design and
build unique wooden items. In the afternoon,
the campers construct catapults and use them
to fling water balloons and paint objects.
We like to encourage [the campers] to
leave their mark somehow, said Jeffrey,
motioning to the hand-painted floor tiles
and door. We also have playhouses built
by campers from previous years.
For teens, Annmarie Garden offers
Melanie Lippert
Ricardo McNutt
Annie Rose Yates
camps for creating things that you dont

get in school, according to Jeffrey. Those
camps include working with airbrush, stain
glass, and torched glass beads.
The younger kids will enjoy camps involving creative sculpture, art history mysteries, clay/pottery, and mixed media.
In addition to having fun with the arts,
campers also have the opportunity to aid in
Annmarie Gardens philanthropic work.
We really do infuse nature and the
environment into everything that we do,
Jeffrey said. We have a vegetable garden
called our Community Garden. Every summer, campers help us grow produce in that
garden, and then we donate it to local food
banks. Its just a feel-good project that every kid is involved in.

Annmarie Garden also offers camps in

the winter and spring.
The weekly camps run from 9 a.m. to
3 p.m. There are also morning (9:15-11:30
a.m.) and afternoon (1:30-3:30 p.m.) preschool camps available. Annmarie Garden
offers extended care from 3-4:30 p.m. For a

College for Kids

Summer is here and kids all over Southern Maryland are looking for fun! The
search ends at College of Southern Maryland (CSM), where summer camps for
kids and teens are finally kicking off. This
year, CSM is running hundreds of camps,
according to Coordinator for Youth Enrichment John Terlesky. Some of the summers most popular have been STEM and
STEAM related, focusing on science, technology, engineering, art and math. Culinary courses have also proved to be a popularity. Camps typically run for a week at a
time, with each class lasting for half a day.
This gives campers the opportunity to participate in more than one camp at a time, allowing them to take a class in the morning
and a class in the afternoon. Some camps,
like rocketry, last all day, Terlesky said.
CSM is encouraging children aged 5 to 17
to take part in these summer activities.
CSMs summer camp program has been
active for almost 30 years, according to

Terlesky, and its benefits are obvious.
Rather than staying home and watching
TV, the kids here are making friends and
learning teamwork. Our programs are exceptional, and there is definitely a learning component. We want kids to know that
education is important, but it can also be a
great experience, he said. Safety, fun and
learning are the camps main priorities, and
children whose parents are unable to pick
them up in the middle of the day are able to
receive free supervision from 12 to 1 p.m.
Children from all over Maryland are invited to participate in CSMs summer program at one of its three campuses: La Plata
campus, Leonardtown campus or Prince
Frederick campus. Registration is required,
and space is still available for those who
have not been signed up yet. Be sure to register quickly, as spaces are filling fast!

The Long Term Care Ombudsman Program
Long term care residents and people with loved ones in nursing and assisted living homes need to know that an Ombudsman
is a person who receives, investigates and attempts to resolve
complaints on behalf of long-term care residents.
The Ombudsman is a resource outside the long-term care facility that serves as an advocate for residents and works to resolve problems or complaints concerning care or services. The
Ombudsman helps nursing home and assisted living residents
maintain their legal rights and control over their lives. The Ombudsman works with nursing home and assisted living staff to
improve the quality of life for long-term care residents.
Residents, potential residents, family members, friends, longterm care facility staff, and community members should contact
the Ombudsman with questions or concerns regarding resident
rights and long term care facilities, programs and policies. Contact Lisa Caudle or Larry Harvey at the Calvert County Office on
Aging, at 410-535-4606 or 301-855-1170 for further information

Island Hideaway Hosts

Fundraiser To Benefit
Calvert Hospice
Hospice helped my family when my father died, says Sandy Littleford, co-manager of the ever-popular Island Hideaway
Restaurant overlooking the scenic Back
River, in Solomons, Maryland. Explaining
the $2501 donation to the Hospice, co-manager, Ashley Abell, adds that they wanted
to give back to a phenomenal organization
that gives so much to the community.
Not only did they provide care to my
dad, but they helped our family understand
what was going on with his illness, says
Littleford. The Hospice volunteers also
comfort the bereaved and provide community outreach.
Thats why Island Hideaway sponsored
the Calvert Hospice fundraiser on Sunday,
May 17, which featured a silent auction of
gift certificates to local restaurants and
shops, gift baskets, and photographs by
local artists David Haines (whose photographs hang in the Island Hideaway) and
Margo Shrives, and other items. A raffle
was held for an evening cruise provided by
Larry Reich. Chip Allen, a.k.a. DJ Hammerhead, emceed the auction for a charter
fishing trip aboard the Marauder, courtesy
of Capt. John Mayer.
More than 100 people enjoyed live music provided by Lets Duet, with Sheryl
Wilson on bass guitar and Jay Bolles on sixstring. Adding to the mix, Chip Allen also
of DJ Hammerhead provided music during
the breaks.
The event raised $2501, which was presented to Claire Paison, Director of Development, Calvert Hospice, on Thursday,
June 11. In presenting the check, Ashley and
Sandy both said they are already planning
the next event.

drove to his first win of the 2015 season in last Friday nights 35-lap Late Model feature at Potomac
speedway. The win for Lathroum, worth $3000,
was his 12th career division win and his first at the
track since 2013.
The re-draw placed Lathroum and defending
track champion Jason Covert on the front row for
the start of the event with Lathroum assuming control as the field raced into turn three. Covert stayed
with Lathroum during the early going until transmission issues forced Covert from the event on lap
nine. As Lathroum continued to lead, the battle for
second was intense as Nick Davis, Kenny Moreland and Kyle Lear all waged hand to hand combat
with Moreland securing the spot on the last lap as
Lathroum streaked under the checkered flag for his
overall 60th career Potomac feature win. Its nice
to finally get one here at home. Lathroum stated
during his post race interview.
It helped starting up front tonight, but with the
luck weve had here lately, I had to keep on my toes
because there were some pretty good cars behind
me.
The ever humble Lathroum was pleased in reaching the 60-win plateau at the speedway. Ive been
hearing you say 59 for what seems like a long time.
Lathroum said with a laugh. Its always nice to win
but I couldnt do this with out all the great sponsors weve had over the years and all the people who
help. Nick Davis scored his career-best Potomac
finish in third, Lear settled for fourth with Walter
Crouch rounding out the top-five. Heats went to
Lathroum and Davis.
Current point leader and former track champion
Daryl Hills scored his second win of the season
in the 20-lap Limited Late Model headliner. Kurt
Zimmerman lead the first five laps before defending
class champion Tyler Emory, steering a brand new
race car, slid into the race lead on the sixth circuit.
As Emory lead Daryl Hills rode in second and made
the eventual winning pass on the on the 18th lap af-
ter a crowd pleasing duel for his 14th career division

win. Derrick Quade rallied late for second, Emory
settled for third, 12th starting David Williams took
fourth with Billy Tucker completing the top-five.
Heats went to Hills and Williams.
In support class action current point leader Mike
Franklin drove to his seventh win of the season in
the 20-lap Street Stock feature, Ed Pope Jr. drove to
his fourth of 2015 in the 15-lap Hobby Stock contest
and Corey Swaim scored his third win of the year in
the nightcap 15-lap U-Car main.

BLEACHERS
The Birds
By Ronald N. Guy Jr.
Contributing Writer
Good evening.
Birds in nature: beautiful, melodic and peaceful creatures.
Birds, under interpretive genius:
grotesque, swarming, vicious, psychopathic killers.
That was the bizarre premise
behind Alfred Hitchcocks classic
1963 horror movie The Birds.
But why take my word for it? Rotten Tomatoes gives it a 96% on the
Tomatometer and offers this critique: Proving once again that the
build-up is the key to suspense, Alfred Hitchcock successfully turned
birds into some of the most terrifying villains in horror history.
Hitchcocks birds: nothing like
we knew or could have imagined.
He turned a gift of nature into a
star of horror. If only this avian alter ego had remained confined to
the big screen. If only
A friend of mine is a Pittsburgh
Pirates fan. Me? The Natsdespite warts, wounds and October performance-anxiety. We are
proud loyalists. Aside from that
shared and arguably foolish trait,
our sports discussions rarely find
common ground with one exception. We both hate in an I cant
stand their goodness way - the St.
Louis Cardinals.
Here are a few excerpts from our
The Birds horror flick.
In 2012, the Nationals led the
fifth and final game of the NLDS
6-0 after three innings. Print the
NLCS hats and shirts. Ice the
champagne. Its over. Party time,
D.C. It was 6-3 after the fifth inning. By the eighth it was 7-5.
Gulp. After nine it was 9-7
Cardinals.
My buddy has better justification. After suffering through
two decades of hideous postBarry Bonds baseball, the Pirates
snagged playoff berths in 2013
and 2014. The Bucs were a wildcard team a position with a more
arduous path to the World Series
because they finished second
in the NL Centralto the Cardinalsboth years. And in 2013, the
Pirates lost the NLDS 4-2 todo I
even need to say it? Chirp, bleeping chirp. Tweet, bleeping tweet.
In hate there is often an element
of admiration. After a few beers,
my buddy and I would admit as
much about the Cardinals. They
arean amazing franchise. Over
the years, we watched long-time
manager Tony LaRussa retire, future hall-of-famer Albert Pujols
sign with the L.A. Angels and
ace pitchers Adam Wainright and
Chris Carpenter
suffer serious
injuries. Yet the
Cardinals keep
winning. Since
2000, St. Louis has won two World
Series and missed the playoffs but
four times. They currently have the
best record in baseball.
St. Louis fifteen-year win/loss
excellence compares to that of Bill
Belichick, Tom Brady and the New
England Patriots. After a recent
ethical breech, the Cards are now
the Patriots baseball synonym.
The Cardinals saw the Patriots Spygate and Deflategate
controversies and raised them one
Hackgate. It seems Cardinals
front office personnel have been
breaking into the information systems and stealing player evaluation data from the Houston Astros
a team whose General Manager,
Jeff Luhnow, worked for St. Louis
from 2003 through 2011 - since
roughly 2012. The story is evolving. The FBI is investigating. Its a
hot mess.
This is life in 2015. Baseballs
rascals used to poach an occasional sign, use too much pine tar,
cork bats or scuff the baseball. So
cute. Then the mischievousness
went rogue during the steroid era.
Now, in the information and analytics age, its disintegrated into
blatantly stealing organizational
trade secrets.
When Cardinals hack/attack:
Hitchcocks once horrifying and
extreme portrayal of birds now
seemsappropriate. Holy cyber
warfare, Batman.
It is routine shtick for graybeards to embellish childhood
tribulations and playfully criticize
the current generations softness.
We worked harder in years past,
trudged through snow in newspaper-wrapped shoes to get to school
and always cleaned our plates
vegetables and all. Right.
The truth is, the world and life
in it gets more complicated as time
passes. I was 14 when Minnesota
Twins pitcher Joe Niekro tried to
inconspicuously toss an emery
board from his pocket, only to be
busted by an umpire. It was more
hilarious than offensive. If youre
14 now youre dealing with the best
organization in baseball intentionally launching a cyber attack to
steal proprietary information.
Sorry about that, kids. As it was
in 1963, so it is in 2015: when birds
attack, it can be quite disturbing.

Come and enjoy dinner and a movie
provided for the community in Prince
Frederick, this Saturday, June 27.
The event will take place in the lot
across from the county courthouse
at the intersection of Duke and Main
Street, for its 14th consecutive year. At
8 p.m., local band Rockfish will play
an eclectic mix of music appropriate
for all ages and participants can enjoy
food catered by Dream Weaver, a caf
and caterer in Prince Frederick. Dream
Weaver will provide hot dogs and hamburgers, M&Ms, water and soda. The
award winning Walt Disney animated
film Frozen will be shown at 9 p.m.
under the stars on a 35 screen set up by

Connecticut event production and decor
company, Big Wave International. Frozen is the story of princess Anna who
sets off on a journey to find her sister
Elsa who, with her icy powers, left their
kingdom in an eternal winter. Along the
way, she meets a friendly snowman, an
iceman and his loyal pet reindeer. All
that will be needed are chairs or a blanket to sit on. Everything is free and all

cancelled indefinitely. The next movie
night will present Big, featuring Tom
Hanks, on the last Saturday of July. For
more information, contact Dave Fegan

It is often said that where words fail,

music speaks. On Wednesday, June 24,
at 2 p.m., husband and wife Hannah Alkire and Joe Scott performed at Calvert
Library Prince Frederick to explore the
similarities between music and the human voice in an event called the Acoustic Eidolon.
Alkire and Scott played a cello and a
guitjo, a double-necked guitar, in various styles in order to explore the versatility of sound in music, and in addition
spoke about a variety of musical styles,
Youth Services Coordinator Beverly Izzi
said. The pair have been musicians for
over 30 years, and during that time have
been private music teachers. This has
led to a dynamic ability to interact with
music lovers of all ages.
Together, the two played music of all

genres, from classic rock to flamenco,
even lending their hand at Led Zeppelin.
The small performance was free to the
public, and open to anyone who loves
music, Izzi said.
Calvert Library Prince Frederick is
dedicated to its surrounding community, so be sure to keep a lookout for more
events like this!

Frederick, call 410-535-0291, visit www.

it was reattached to some other guys body,

still 16 and everything and everyone around
him has changed. That includes his bedroom, his parents, his best friend, and his
girlfriend. Or maybe shes not his girlfriend
anymore? Thats a bit fuzzy too. Oh well,

From my Backyard to our Bay

A St. Marys County Residents Guide to Improving Our Environment and Drinking Water
From My Backyard
to Our Bay was first
developed by the Baltimore
County Soil Conservation
District. From there, the
booklet was given to each
of the Soil Conservation
Districts in the Chesapeake
Bay watershed area for
customization. If the 17.5
million residents who live in
the watershed area of the
Chesapeake Bay read this
booklet, and took to heart
its suggestions and best
practices, the Chesapeake
Bay would see a dramatic
increase in health. Obtain
a FREE copy of the
booklet by going to the St.
Marys River Watershed
Association, smrwa.org and
downloading it. The booklet
is available at Wentworth
Nursery in Charlotte Hall;
Chicken Scratch in Park
Hall; The Greenery in
Hollywood; Good Earth
Natural Food; and the St.
Marys Soil Conservation
District in Leonardtown.

association and make a
difference for Our Bay!

Forest Stewardship
Forest land is important to the overall
health of the Chesapeake Bay. Forests
provide several layers, from the canopy
to the forest floor, that act as filters,
improve water quality, reduce sedimentation, remove nutrients, and regulate
stream flow during storms.
Marylands 2.5 million acres of forest,
most of it privately owned, cover approximately 42% of its land area. St.
Marys Countys land area is about 50%
forested, and has more than 400 miles
of shoreline. Wooded buffers along
these shorelines are critical to improving Bay health. Acre for acre, forested
lands produced the least amount of runoff and pollution. The County occupies
a forest transitional zone, where the
dominant tree species vary from oak/
hickory to tulip poplar to sweet gum/red
maple and loblolly pine.
Forests can be harvested on a sustainable basis for materials, including
structural lumber, crates, shelving
and furniture, flooring, mulch, and
pulp for paper. Forests can, in most
cases, provide these products while

woodland stewardship and management, as well as timber harvesting,
