Walden-Sierra Purchased by Pennsylvania Health Group
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
Increasing demands for treatment,
particularly related to substance abuse,
and dwindling public funding for it was
part of the reason the Walden group was
recently purchased by a Pennsylvania-
based health care company.
Since 1973 Walden has been the coun-
ty’s largest substance abuse and crisis
counseling service, but the organiza-
tion’s leaders say it made the move to
join Pyramid Health Care to keep pace
with rapidly changing times.
“The times have changed, however,
and we must grow and change to re-
spond to the ever- increasing complexity
and acuity of health needs experienced
by the people in the communities we are
privileged to serve. With the changes in
public funding and the ever-increasing
need for quality treatment, the Board
of Directors and leadership have sought
to make sure we have mission sustain-

ability, financial viability and the ability
to expand our wonderful services. This
partnership accomplishes all three,”
said Walden CEO and executive di-
rector Kathleen O’Brien in a prepared
statement.
According to Walden, all of its facili-
ties will remain open and it will contin-
ue to accept all insurance carriers that it
currently works with; it will continue to
provide services for in-patient and out-
patient substance abuse, mental health
issues and recovery support.
It is in the process of finding another
service provider to handle its program
of assisting victims of sexual assault,
domestic violence and violent crime.

chief health officer, said her organiza-

Father Of Infant Who Died on First Responders Report

Base Wants Record Expunged
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
A U.S. Navy reserve officer whose
baby perished in a hot car on Patuxent
River Naval Air Station in 2014 is seek-
ing to have federal charges against him
expunged.
John Junek filed a petition for a hear-
ing in May to have his record with the
federal court system erased, court fil-
ings show; all charges against him had
been dropped in 2016 after a nearly two-
year investigation.
The criminal complaint against Junek
filed in 2015 showed he had dropped his
older, 4-year-old son off at pre-school
that morning before going on base to his
office at Building 2187.
Junek told law officers that he was
supposed to drop the infant, just 17
months old, off at the child development
center on base but failed to do so, leav-
ing him in a rear-facing child seat from
about 8:50 a.m. to 3:20 p.m.
At nearly half past 3 p.m. Junek re-
ceived a call from his wife to ask if he
had the car seat and then realized, ac-
cording to the criminal complaint, that
he might not have dropped his son off.

State Taking Farm Land to Plant Trees, Shrubs
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
The State Highway Administration is
moving ahead with plans to use eminent
domain to take farm land in Piney Point
so it can move ahead with a road project
near Point Lookout; one local farmer is
protesting the move.
“There it is,” said Kyle Matthew,
a U.S. Navy F-18 pilot and part-time
farmer, looking out over about 48 acres
of farm land just off Piney Point Road
near St. George Creek. “All that farm
land and they want to take it away.”
Matthew has been in negotiations
with the owner of the land, Richard Br-
usca, to buy it and continue farming it;
Matthew wants to move into organic
farming on that parcel.
He already owns 26 acres of land in
Piney Point and wants to expand that
effort.
But a project on Route 5 near Camp
Brown Road means that the state will
have to clear away some trees and other
vegetation and it is required to replant
the same somewhere else.
The process is related to wetlands
mitigation, mandated by the state’s Crit-
ical Area law that governs development
and changes in the natural habitat 1,000
feet from the shoreline.
Matthew said that there were other
parcels of land in the area, but the state

was not interested in
them, just the 48 acres
he wanted to buy.
He said he offered
Brusca $115,000 for the
land to the state’s offer
of $106,000.
Brusca confirmed in
an interview that the
state had always intend-
ed to take the land.
“They made an offer
that was lower than what
we wanted,” Brusca
told The County Times.
“They basically want all
of it.”
Matthew said he had
tried to negotiate a deal
with the state that would
allow him to farm a por-
tion of the 48 acres and
give the rest over for
wetlands mitigation.

A person doing a rap performance
named only as “Gucci” in court papers
was insulted by an unknown male sub-
ject who also is alleged to have gone into
the garage at the residence and punched
the defendant in the face.
Birdine, according to deputies, was
making some kind of defense of the per-
former at the party.
A witness then saw Birdine pull a gun
from his waistband and point it at sev-
eral people moving it from side to side,
court papers read.
Birdine then became involved in a
brief physical confrontation once he
went outside before lifting his weapon
towards a crowd of between 100 and 200
young people, according to law officers,
and opening fire.

ed that Birdine had leveled his gun at
her during the melee and she ran inside
the residence; she said she heard shots
and heard bullets go over her head.
Law officers reported that one bullet
hit the residence where the party was
held; another projectile struck a neigh-

TRUE OR FALSE - PROBATE
I have often heard from cli-
ents that they have a Will so
their loved ones will not have
to go through probate. True or
false? False. When you die, if
you are holding property in your
sole name, that property must
go through the probate process
to be distributed to your loved
ones. It doesn’t matter wheth-
er you die intestate (without a
Will) or with a Will.
What does holding property
in my sole name mean? For real
estate like your house or for cars
and trucks, for example, the title
to the property is in your name
alone. If you hold any property
this way and you die, then the
property has to go through the
probate process to be distrib-
uted to your loved ones.
The probate process in
Maryland takes between 8-12
months. Why so long? One
reason is that under the process,
creditors are allowed 6 months
to come in and claim against an
estate. Another reason is pure
chaos. When a person dies
and a probate proceeding is re-
quired, the personal representa-
tive or executor has to find all of
the person’s property in order
to report on it to the Register of
Wills. Since many people are
not at all organized about what
they own, the personal repre-
sentative has to reconstruct the
estate before they report on it.
One of the filings is called an
“Inventory”. This is a listing
of all the property held by the
deceased when they die. If the
deceased has not been an orga-
nized person it can take a long
time to figure out what they
owned when they died. For ex-
ample, if the deceased has not
left a detailed list of investments
they have, often the only way
to know for sure what the de-
ceased owns when they die is to
wait for the mail for at least 3 to
6 months for quarterly or semi-
annual reports on dividends or
interest. Keep in mind that all
filings made during the probate
process are publicly available.
What does the probate pro-
cess require? It is a process
where filings are made detailing
the assets and liabilities of the
estate, the expenses of the estate
and the monies left over to be
distributed to the beneficiaries
of the estate.
There is administrative pro-
bate, which is where the execu-
tor of the estate makes filings
with the Register of Wills, or
judicial probate, where the fil-
ings are made with the Orphan’s
Court. If a beneficiary chal-
lenges the Will or any filings
made by the personal represen-
tative, the matter goes to judi-
cial probate where the Orphan’s
Court judges decide on the chal-
lenge. Without challenges, most
probates are administrative. To
find out what filings are neces-
sary in a probate proceeding, go
to the Register of Wills website.
Some clients say that the
personal representative has no
liability for making filings in a
probate proceeding. False. The
The County Times
personal representative is a fi-
duciary—that means they are
under a duty to settle and dis-
tribute the estate in accordance
with the terms of the Will and
the law. Fiduciaries cannot act
in their own self-interest. They
must make sure investments are
reasonable and monitored and
they must make full and accu-
rate reports to the Register of
Wills or Orphan’s Court.
Most people faced with the
duties of a personal representa-
tive consult an attorney and ask
them for help to prepare the re-
ports for filing. This costs mon-
ey in legal fees, but gives the
personal representative some
comfort that they are correctly
performing their duties.
What about “registering” your
Will with the Register of Wills.
Clients have said that their Will
is not effective because it has
not been “registered” with the
Register of Wills. False. A
Will doesn’t have to be filed
with the Register of Wills or the
Orphan’s Court to be effective.
If you think you will lose your
Will, then paying a small fee
to the Register of Wills office
to keep your original on file is
a convenience to you. Other-
wise, the effectiveness of a Will
depends on whether it is prop-
erly executed, not whether it is
filed somewhere. You can keep
your Will in a safe place. But,
the original Will is necessary to
open the probate proceeding so
make sure your loved ones can
find it.
In Our Community
Some clients have said “Ithe Trustee. When the Grantor/
don’t need a Will because ev-
erything will go to my spouse
when I die.” False. If you die
without a Will and you have a
spouse and children, then the
estate (property held in your
sole name) will go 50-50 to the
spouse and the children. The
only way your estate will go
solely to your spouse when you
die is if you have said so in your
Will.
If all of your property is held
in joint name with your spouse
and you die then your spouse
will take sole ownership of the
property. And, there will be no
probate because you have not
held any property in sole name
when you die. So, with a mar-
ried couple, it is not unusual
for one spouse to die and leave
everything to the other spouse
and have no probate. However,
when the surviving spouse dies
holding all the property in their
sole name there will be probate.
If your Will says your person-
al representative doesn’t have to
file a bond, that means no bond
is required. False. Even if the
Will says no bond, the Regis-
ter of Wills requires a nominal
bond be filed, usually costing
the estate $100.
The only clear alternative to
probate is a Living Trust. True.
With a Living Trust, all prop-
erty of the deceased has been
placed into the name of that
person’s trust so that when they
die there is no property held in
sole name, so no probate. The
person creating and funding
the trust is called the Grantor
and the Grantor may also be
13
Trustee dies, a successor trust-
ee is appointed under the trust
to take over. Having a Living
Trust is the only way to avoid
probate. But, the Living Trust
provides other benefits. First, it
is private, transfers to beneficia-
ries are immediate (no waiting
8-12 months) and there are no
legal fees upon such transfers.
With a Living Trust all property
is accounted for when creating
the trust so there is no chaos try-
ing to figure out what a person
owns when he or she dies—it’s
all set forth in the trust. The Liv-
ing Trust also offers protection
is a Trustee is incapacitated. In
that event, the successor trustee
simply uses all the assets in the
trust for the benefit of the inca-
pacitated person without hav-
ing to do more. Can there be
probate even if a person has a
Living Trust? Yes, if the person
has forgotten to place property
into the name of the trust, that
property must go through pro-
bate. However, a different form
of will, called a “pour over” will
is used in the probate process.
This will states that the Living
Trust is the guiding principal for
the disposition of assets.
The probate process needs to
be understood by anyone con-
sidering whether or not to create
a will or a living trust.

Walden Honored for Supporting

Great Mills High School
By Dick Myers
Editor
They were among the first help
to arrive at the staging area at
the tech center after the March
20 shooting at Great Mills High
School. And they stayed at the
school for weeks and continu-
ing to this day to assist students,
teachers, faculty and staff cope
in the aftermath of the tragic in-
cident in which the lives of two
students were lost. For their role
since then, Walden Behavioral
Health was honored Aug. 8 by
the St. Mary’s County Board of
Education.
Walden Chief Executive Officer
Dr. Kathleen O’Brien said dur-
ing the presentation: “We are St.
Mary’s strong; the education sys-
tem is strong and the community
that supports us is strong.” Earlier
O’Brien repeated the Great Mills
High School motto: “We are…
Great Mills.”
Also attending the ceremony
were Great Mills High School
Principal Dr. Jake Heibel and
Walden Clinical Services Officer,
Elizabeth Lenhart-Cooksey.
St. Mary’s County Superin-
tendent of Schools Dr. J. Scott
Smith praised the work done by
the counselors from Walden at
the reunification center (where
Great Mills students were bussed
to meet up with their parents) and
then at Great Mills H.S. when
school resumed. He quoted Hei-
bel as saying, “Recovery is an
emotional solution.”
O’Brien said Walden, which
has now converted from a non-
profit corporation to being pur-
chased by a for-profit entity (see
separate story in this issue), is
continuing to seek grants to as-
sist Great Mills High School.
“You are such a connected sys-
tem that supports all of our chil-
dren,” she told the school board. (l to R) Walden Chief Executive Officer Dr. Kathleen O’Brien, St.

SMCM Featured in The Princeton

Review Book, “The Best 384 Colleges”
St. Mary’s College of Maryland,
the state’s public honors college, is
one of the nation’s best institutions
for undergraduate education, ac-
cording to The Princeton Review.
The education services company
features St. Mary’s College in
the new 2019 edition of its flag-
ship college guide, “The Best 384
Colleges.”
Only about 15 percent of Amer-
ica’s 2,500 four-year colleges and
two colleges outside the U.S. are

profiled in the book, which is one
of The Princeton Review’s most
popular guides. Published annually
since 1992, it has detailed profiles
of the colleges with ratings scored
in eight categories. St. Mary’s Col-
lege is also included in the Best
Northeastern, Best Green Colleges
and Top 50 Green Colleges lists.    
In its profile, The Princeton Re-
view quotes extensively from St.
Mary’s students surveyed for the book.
Speaking on the college’s classroom en-
vironment, students enjoy classes that
are always “challenging but never im-
possible” taught by professors who “get
to know you personally” and “take an
interest in your future.”  Students find
that “many professors are extremely
good at making classes interesting and
at engaging students” through “discus-
sion based” approaches. While SMCM
“professors are demanding” and “expect
a great deal from students,” “they are al-
ways willing to help.”
The college’s scenic location is also
highlighted:  “Whether they are admir-
ing ‘the beauty of the St. Mary’s River’
from a kayak, ‘tanning on the docks,’
‘taking walks in the woods,’ or keeping
warm next to a bonfire, outdoor activi-
ties are popular and ‘only a short walk
from the campus center.’”
Regarding the student body, a St.
Mary’s College student says, “I am so
happy that I am able to walk about this
campus knowing that every person I
walk past could be a conversation away
from being a friend of mine.”
St. Mary’s College was also recog-
nized recently as a 2018—19 College of
Distinction, acknowledged in the 2019
edition of the Fiske Guide to Colleges,
and ranked among the Best Colleges of
Maryland by schools.com.

“Today’s country music, I call it Bubblegum Country music,”
Armsworthy said. “It’s got too much rock and roll, too many silly

Bluegrass, at least the traditional sort, has its roots in deep coun-

scrabble.
The art form was designed to provide entertainment and comfort

“It got its start as old fashioned hillbilly music,” he said.
Before taking up the organization of the L’il Margaret’s festival,
Armsworthy has tried to spread Bluegrass’ popularity any way he
can.

Now 50 years old, Armsworthy still plays along with being the

At What Cost?
A friend of mine, we’ll call him
Conscience (it’ll make more sense
later), loves college basketball and
football. March Madness dominates
his spring; on fall Saturdays he’s
happier than a seagull with a French
fry. Conscience, a native of Indiana,
roots for the Indiana Hoosiers on
the hardwood and the Notre Dame
Fighting Irish on the gridiron. He’ll
bend your ear about both, whether
you want him to or not.
Conscience is a pal and a peer.
We are both husbands and fathers
and are just two months apart in
age. Our conversations are effort-
less. We talk about life, families
and music. But mostly, we talk
about sports. I faithfully listen to
his diatribes on the Hoosiers and the
Irish; he faithfully listens to mine
on all things D.C. sports. It works.
Hand and glove. Peanut butter and
jelly. Wings and beer. The media
and the president. Errr…
In recent years, our discussions
about sports, and particularly col-
lege sports, have grown noticeably
more cynical. We are at an inter-
esting crossroads in life – young
enough to remember when major
college sports were still amateur
athletics but now old enough to have
lost all naïveté about the nasty busi-
ness they’ve become. Seedings,
matchups, recruits and playful ban-
tering used to dominate our interac-
tions. Now we often find ourselves
debating scandals and corruption -
USC football, UNC basketball, va-
cated championships, Rick Pitino’s
disgraced exit from Louisville after
a series of egregious missteps (in-
fidelity, sex parties and under-the-
table shoe deals), the latest SEC
football recruiting violations, the
FBI’s wide-ranging investigation of
NCAA basketball, Baylor football
and the absolute horror that is Larry
Nasser and Michigan State.
True to this twisted new age, the
next time I see Conscience the is-
sue du jour likely won’t be the fast
approaching college football season
- it will be Urban Meyer and Ohio
State University.
Meyer, the head coach at OSU,
is on administrative leave after
misrepresenting (to be kind) what
he knew and when he knew about
the 2015 domestic abuse allegations
against former assistant coach Zach

Time will answer these questions
about Meyer’s character. The im-
mediate question for Ohio State and
the question that will linger for all
college institutions, professional
teams and sports fans around the
country is this: What is the price of
winning? Is it victory at all cost?
Or is there some ethical and mor-
al foundation that simply cannot
be compromised in the pursuit of
rings, banners and trophies?
As Conscience and I have watched
the college sports we love degrade
into a cesspool of corruption, we
have reached this conclusion: throw
enough money, power and fame
up for grabs and it will inevitably
bring out the worst in our species.
That holds true for sports, politics
and damn near every facet of life.
What are we willing to compromise
to get what we want? When does
conscience kick in – that point when
the method of winning trumps the
raw lust for winning itself?
I look forward to seeing my friend
soon. We have much to discuss…

Patuxent River
Naval Air Station Ne w s
Commissioners Proclaim a Day to
Celebrate Aviation
National Aviation Day is celebrated annual-
ly on August 19. President Franklin Roosevelt
first proclaimed the day in 1939 as a way to
celebrate the history and development of the
aviation industry in the United States. The
Commissioners of St. Mary’s County continue
the tradition by issuing a proclamation to rec-
ognize the day in 2018.
The county’s largest employer, Patuxent
River Naval Air Station, is at the forefront
of providing readiness for research, develop-
ment, testing and evaluation, acquisition, en-
gineering and fleet support to the entire range
of manned and unmanned naval aircraft, en-
gines, avionics, aircraft support systems and
ship/shore/air operations.
To expand the dreams of tomorrow’s avia-
tors, the Young Eagles hosted another success-
ful Young Eagle’s rally on June 6 by providing
free plane rides to local youth.
To honor the county’s and Navy’s contribu-
tions to aviation history, the new Naval Air
Museum & Visitors Center has opened to pro-
vide opportunities for visitors to experience
the evolution of U.S. Naval Aviation history.

Mary Agnes Smith
Mary Agnes Smith,
58, of Mechanicsville,
MD passed away Satur-
day, August 4, 2018, at
Johns Hopkins Hospital
in Baltimore, MD with
her loving family at her
side. She was born on
January 22, 1960, in Lynwood, CA to the
late Mario and Ida Brunasso.
On June 27, 1987, Mary married her
beloved husband, Daniel Joseph Smith, in
Long Beach, CA. Together they celebrated
over 31 wonderful years of marriage, rais-
ing their children Andrew, David, and
Elizabeth. She was employed by the St.
Mary’s Board of Education in the business
administration office for many dedicated
years until her retirement in March 2017.
A loving, devoted wife and mother,
which included 20 years traversing the
globe as a “Navy wife”, Mary selflessly
embraced each new destination as a new
adventure, a chance to make new friends,
and there were many. She was a wonder-
ful, devoted mother, with endless love for
her children. From soccer games and Boy
Scout meetings, to theater and musical per-
formances, she was always her children’s
biggest supporter.
Devoted to her faith, Mary was a mem-
ber of the St. Vincent DePaul Society, sang
in church choir, and loved praying the
Rosary. She was happiest when serving
others, hosting gatherings for family and
friends that were filled with her wonderful
cooking. Nothing pleased her more than
spending hours baking and decorating
beautiful cakes for family and friends. She
took joy in simple pleasures, singing, cro-
cheting, gardening, and any other artistic
endeavors that her free spiritedness led her
to explore.
Mary had a loving, untethered, adven-
turesome spirit, the joy she received from
family and many friends was returned
tenfold. Mary didn’t take things or her-
self too seriously, finding humor in most
everything. She kept an upbeat, cheerful
attitude even while facing serious medical
conditions, which was inspirational to ev-
eryone. With her easy going spirit, bright
blue eyes, warm, loving smile, and her
engaging, lighthearted conversation, she
had a gift for making friends. Her life was
a lesson on how to enjoy the moment and
how to love unconditionally.
In addition to her husband and children,
Mary is also survived by her siblings: Ma-
rio, Costantina, Leonard, Vincent, Anne,
Theresa, Catherine, Barbara, Michael, and
Rosemarie, their families, as well as many
extended family and friends. She is pre-
ceded in death by her parents.
Family will receive friends on Friday,
August 10, 2018 from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m.,
with prayers recited at 7:00 p.m., at Brins-
field Funeral Home, P.A., 22955 Holly-

28 Contributing Writers
Contri bu t i n g Wr i t e r s
Richard Dent
Edwards & Family
Richard Dent Edwards, son of
Benjamin Edwards and Mary Dent,
was born about 1782.
In 1806, as a young man of 24,
Richard got himself into a bit of
trouble and petitioned the Governor
as follows:
“May 28,1806: By the petition
of Richard Edwards of St. Mary’s
County accompanied by a tran-
script from the proceedings of the
court of the sd. County at March
Term 1806 for selling less than one
quart of brandy without license and
was fined six pounds. The petitioner
states he distilled the brandy him-
self and that he was ignorant of
any law prohibiting the maker of
spirituous liquors from selling less
than one quart at any one time. The
Board in consideration of which
circumstances and from the recom-
mendation of the court of the said
County remits the said fine.”
Then, on February 7, 1810, a
marriage license was issued in St.
Mary’s County for Richard to mar-
ry Lydia Dyson, daughter of Gerard
Dyson. The couple had 12 children.
By 1850 Lydia was dead and Rich-
ard was living in Bryantown where
he was listed as a tavern keeper.
Living in Charlotte Hall was Rich-
ard’s spinster sister, Elizabeth Man-
ning Edwards and with her were
Richard’s other children. 1850, 5th
Dist., St. Mary’s County: Elizabeth
M. “Betsy”Edwards, 70; Harriett
Edwards, 35, insane; Joseph B. Ed-
wards, 19;Richard M. Edwards, 17;
Martha A. Edwards, 15; Elkanah
Edwards, 13;and Mary S. Edwards,
6 (the only one in the household
born in Charles County).
In April 1853 Richard was ap-
pointed as the lighthouse keeper at
The County Times
Point Lookout. Quite a change in
occupation and location! This new
job didn’t last very long as Richard
died July 14, just three months lat-
er. of bug bites, scratches from who
Martha Ann Edwards (born
1835) succeeded her father as li known causes, and some sort of
ghthouse keeper. She was appointed
July 19, 1853 and served until April
7, 1855. Martha probably quit due to
her impending marriage to Thomas
J. Byrd (of Somerset Co., MD) on
May 4, 1855. Byrd died prior to
April 1868. That same year Mar-
tha was committed to the Maryland
Hospital for the Insane in Balti-
more. She was still there in 1870.
Elizabeth Ellen Byrd, presumed
sister of Thomas J. Byrd, married
Elkanah Edwards, brother of Mar-
tha Ann (Edwards) Byrd on April
25, 1859 in Baltimore. Elkanah and
his family lived in Ridge where he
owned a grocery store. Elkanah
died June 6, 1874.
On April 7, 1855, Permelia Ed-
war4s replaced her sister Martha
as lighthouse keeper. “Permelia’s
official records state that she was
removed from service because of
negligent duties and persistent ru-
mors. Her brother Elkanah had a
hump backed child that the head
nurse (Sarah Blunt) from the hos-
pital helped him with. She had
reported in her letters that he was
a rebel sympathizer. She also
thought he was the main light house
keeper and Permelia was the as-
sistant when it was really the other
way around. Since she was a Union
nurse, the abuse of soldiers may
have been a rumor started by her or
hospital people.”
To be continued.
“Badge of Honor”
There are times when I wonder
about the difference between mod-
els and average people like myself.
What I wonder is how do models
and actresses always have perfect
skin from their feet to their face?
Do they never get bug bites or
poison ivy or acne? Is there some
magic bubble that surrounds them
in a protective shield? Yes, I am
exhibiting envy and don’t feel bad
about it. Everyone has something
that bothers them. I know, I real-
ize I have many neuroses and un-
fortunately you know about most
of them. But my skin has always
bothered me, or rather, the state of
it.
I am usually covered in all sorts
knows where, bruises from un-
adult acne at any given time. This
is all besides the recent, strange
red-spotted and patchy allergic
skin condition I have had since last
fall – I’m pretty sure I have men-
tioned that. My hands and arms are
always dry because as a long-time
picture framer I am trained to wash
my hands constantly, sometimes
with Comet to make sure they are
dry with no chance of any body
oils touching a mat, piece of art, or
certain frames like real gold leaf,
where a fingerprint can slowly be-
come more visible over the years.
At night it is acceptable to use lo-
tions and potions – if I remember.
When watching TV, I find my-
self staring at everyone’s skin. It
amazes me to see actresses with
skin where you can’t see the pores.
Their skin is smooth and beauti-
ful, even in High Definition. These
actresses must use bug spray even
if they walk to the mailbox. Who
am I kidding – they have someone
else go to the mailbox for them.
Bugs love me, constantly trying to
steal my blood or check to see if I
am a flower. And the bruise thing.
The perfect skin people must not
have dogs like Mindy who step
on your feet or scratch you when
playing. I don’t even know where
all my bruises come from. Well,
I do know that the two large ones
on my calf came from Mindy and
her doggie boyfriend Syd playing
hard and bumping their two stub-

born hound dog heads in to me.
It doesn’t seem to matter where I
stand on our acre lot, the two of
them end up rough-housing right
next to me.
These models and actresses that
I envy their perfect skin do have is-
sues that bother them I know. You
hear on the entertainment news all
the time about the awful struggles
they go through over body image
and being body shamed all over
the internet, even though I think
they look perfect. I wish no one
had to go through that. The worst
thing that ever happened to me was
once when I was a crazed, rushed
mom in the mornings, I went to
work without make-up. I really
didn’t want to wait on this early
male customer I knew, but my boss
was on the phone. So, I went out
to wait on him, and he said while
looking at me, “Shelby, put a bag
over it!” then turned around and
left. That hurt. I don’t think my
first husband ever saw me without
make-up. Now, I am not so worried
as I once was - my husband now
probably wishes I would put it on
sooner. No, he tells me I am beau-
tiful all the time, and I choose to
believe him.
My mother used to tell me to
wear my scars and bruises like a
badge of honor. I guess that was
her way of getting me to come to
terms with my klutzy, tree-climb-
ing, mud-fort building, Tom-boy
ways. She was similar to me and
had lots of scars from her adven-
tures as a child. I was always in a
tree – and not so wisely picked the
holly tree as my favorite. I suppose
I will always be in awe of those
blessed with perfect skin, but I
will try and remember my moth-
er’s words – the same ones I said
to my children and now say to my
grandchildren – who seem to be
following in my klutzy footsteps.
Well, let me go earn some more
badges.
To each new day’s adventure,
Shelby

Singer-Songwriter Scott Kirby Making

11th-Annual Appearance in Solomons
By Tim Flaherty
Staff Writer
Scott Kirby, a singer-songwriter whose
music can be described as a mixture of
James Taylor and the Beatles with a little
Jimmy Buffett thrown in, will be making
his 11th annual concert visit to Solomons
Island later this month when he plays at
the Southern Maryland Sailing Associa-
tion on Sunday, August 19 at 4pm.
“I can’t believe I’ve been doing the
Solomons show for this long now,” Kirby
remarked when reminded of the date.
“I started doing an annual show there
in 2008? Wow. I love playing there so
much. So many people who come to
SMSA are sailors and coastal people who
have a special connection to much of the
music I do.”
Kirby splits his time between residenc-
es in Kittery, ME; Key West, FL; and
rural Montana, but he spends a signifi-
cant amount of time on the road touring.
He keeps his own sailboat on the Pisca-
taqua River in New Hampshire. His love
for boats and harbor towns is evident in

The Last to Know
We are new residents of the Clark’s
Rest Community in Leonardtown,
Maryland. We picked this community
carefully as our retirement home. The
diverse neighborhood, good choice of
house plans, and most importantly, its
proximity to Leonardtown were the
deciding factors for us.
We were shocked to learn, through
media and word of mouth, that the St.
Mary’s County Commissioners and
Marrick Developers have decided that
it would be a good idea to use prop-
erty adjacent to our neighborhood that
was designated for the good of Leon-
ardtown and Clark’s Rest residents, as
the best place to put this multi-million
(county expense) facility. Despite
claims to the contrary, we have yet to
find a resident who knew of this plan
until it was published in mid-July news
media. The alternative location men-
tioned in the media was in the vicinity
of FDR Boulevard and shopping cen-
ters in California. Since the greatest
majority of animal shelters are located
in commercial and/or industrial sites,
the FDR location is ideal. The great-
est concentration of population in St.
Mary’s is centered between Lexington
Park and California – not in Leonard-
town. The additional traffic on Route
31
5, already highly impacted by traffic,
will create utter chaos, and could eas-
ily contribute to increased accidents
along this route.
We feel that we were “blind-sided”
throughout this whole process. It ap-
pears that a lot of time (and money)
has already been dedicated to this
proposed animal shelter and we never
knew anything about it. Efforts to dis-
cuss with the County Commisioners
and Marrick Construction have proven
to be futile. The residents of Clark’s
Rest need to be heard. If we weren’t
here, Clark’s Rest would not exist.
We want to encourage residents
of Clark’s Rest and the Leonardtown
Community to speak up, via email,
letters, phone calls to the Commision-
ers and Marrick Construction. Food
for thought - we live in a community
that has sadly inadequate facilities for
the homeless and abuse victims. If we
have sufficient funds to support a shel-
ter with 2500 animals passing through
each year, it would seem we should
consider dedicating these funds to
shelter human beings, not animals.
