Jeannette Cantwell
Chandler, 77
On Saturday, July
25 Jeannette Cantwell
Chandler died at home
one year after being diagnosed with ALS. She
was 77 at the time of her
death.
A native of Washington, D.C., Jeannie attended Notre Dame
High School and Trinity College. She
later received her M.A.I., the highest
designation in real estate appraisal, and
started a successful residential and commercial appraisal firm, Benchmark Appraisal Group, which she sold to Mercantile Mortgage Corporation. For over 20
years, beginning in the late 1960s, her
love for dogs led to an avocation as a Professional Handler, breeding and showing
Dobermans and raising numerous champions during her successful career.
Jeannie is survived by her loving husband of 36 years, H.F. Chandler, and by
her three children with her first husband,

Hendricks (Linda); Robert Carroll Hendricks (Angela); and Laura Jean Joyce
(John). She is also survived by her two
stepchildren, Geoffrey Allen Chandler
(Connie) and Christopher Hart Chandler
(Tracie) and by 12 grandchildren: Allison and Kristin Hendricks; Christopher,
Timothy and Benjamin Joyce; Alex,
Amanda and Adam Chandler; Christopher, Gabe and Samuel Chandler; and
David Hendricks. She is survived by two
sisters, Kathleen Aymard (Louis) and
Elizabeth LoCascio (Joseph) and numerous other family members. She was
predeceased by her parents, John Jack
and Jeannette Cantwell; her sister, Mary
Cantwell Haller; and her brother, John
Cantwell.
A gifted artist, Jeannie completed all
ten levels of the complex and challenging coursework in the rare art of Japanese Embroidery. Her exquisite goldwork and Japanese Embroidery pieces
have won awards and her work has been
displayed at the Japanese Embassy in
Washington, D.C.
Jeannie was also a Master Gardener.
Her love for plants and flowers brought
beauty to the extensive gardens at the
waterfront home she and her husband
shared in St. Inigoes, as well as to the
Statehouse at Historic St. Marys City at
Christmas, and to St. Cecelias parish in
St. Marys City, where she celebrated her
strong faith through her gift for gardening, beautifying the grounds and church
on holidays and throughout the year.
From 1996 to 2007, Jeannie served as
the President of the Historic St. Marys
City Foundation, where she was instrumental in developing and leading the
fundraising efforts for the reconstruction of the first Catholic Chapel in the
English Colonies. She worked with archaeological experts, local, State and
Federal officials, and numerous others
to plan and execute the building of the
Chapel, which was dedicated in a ceremony in 2009. An ancestor, Marmaduke
Semmes, was one of the original settlers
of St. Marys City and was buried on the
Chapel grounds in the early 17th century,
which gave the project special meaning. In honor of her efforts on behalf of
historic preservation and Historic St.
Marys City, she was awarded the prestigious Cross-Bottony Award in 2007.
The family received visitors at Brinsfield Funeral Home at 22955 Hollywood
Rd., Leonardtown, from 3 to 5 p.m. on
Sunday, August 2 and from 10 a.m. to
noon on Monday, August 3rd. A Funeral
Mass followed at 12:30 p.m. on Monday,
August 3 at St. Cecelias Parish at 47950
Mattapany Rd., St. Marys City. A brief
graveside service, at the Trinity Church
River Gardens Columbarium on the
grounds of Historic St. Marys City/St.
Marys College, immediately followed
the Funeral Mass.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests
that donations be made to the Southern
Maryland Center for Family Advocacy
(SMCFA), at 23918 Mervell Dean Rd.,
Hollywood. Condolences may be made
to www.brinsfieldfuneral.com. Arrangements by the Brinsfield Funeral Home,

In Our Community
Revenue raised through the Warrior Fun Run and Sail to support
Patuxent Habitat for Humanitys Veterans Critical Home Repair Program,
has allowed us to construct a ramp for
a deserving Navy veteran in Drum
Point this coming weekend.
William Quinn is a disabled Navy
veteran; he is married and has one
son. In 1982 while assigned to the
CBs both of his feet were crushed in
an accident. Mr. Quinn says his goal in
life is, to be kind to everyone I meet.
He works as a substitute teacher in St.
Marys County; he also has a family
friendly YouTube channel: William
Quinn. Mr. Quinn attends Our Lady
Star of The Sea, Solomons where he
is a Brother Knight with the Knights
of Columbus. He has volunteered in
the past with Christmas in April and
his church to help other local families
in need. It is his turn to get a helping
hand. A new ramp and related improvements will enhance the quality
of life for this veteran and his family. Our goal in this project is serve
a Veteran who has unselfishly served
and defended our country, while promoting active volunteerism within our
community, said Steve Sanders of
Christmas in April.
Community
Kitchen To
Open In Lusby
The Maryland Food Bank tells us that Hunger is
an immense issue that affects us all and it will take
all of us, in a full-scale social movement, to end hunger. The Lusby Charge (Eastern and St. John United
Methodist Churches) and Solomons United Methodist Church have linked love and resources in an effort
to help feed the hungry in southern Calvert County.
Beginning Thursday, Aug. 11, this collaboration
will operate the More Tasty Blessings Community Kitchen, which will provide complimentary meals
for all in the community on Tuesday and Thursday
nights from 6-8 p.m. at East-John Youth Center,
11835 Mill Bridge Road, Lusby, Md.
Based on information from End Hunger in Calvert County, nearly 1 in 8 people experience hunger,
and for children, that figure increases to 1 in 5. The
complimentary community kitchen is just one step
toward alleviating the escalating hunger challenge in
our community.
Our churches are excited to do all that we can to
help feed the hungry in our communities, said Rev.
Marvin R. Wamble, pastor of the Lusby Charge. It
is truly our pleasure to be able to provide sit down
meals twice a week for families and individuals. We
believe that everyone should have access to a good
meal; its good for the body and the soul.
The More Tasty Blessings Community Kitchen
will feature healthy sit-down meals for everyone in
the community. In the near future, this collaboration will also provide community resources, healthy
cooking tips, and information to help their neighbors
to live a healthier and more prosperous life.

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

Chesapeakes Bounty
Soon to Open New
Location in North Beach
By Crista Dockray
Contributing Writer
The popular Chesapeakes Bounty is
opening a new location in North Beach, approximately 25 minutes from their current
location in St. Leonard. They are taking
over the building that used to be the Good
Hope Thrift Store on Bay Avenue. Although they do not have a set date for opening, they are moving as fast as they can and
are trying to finish construction as soon as
possible. Although it was not their original
plan to open a second location, they felt it
was right for the area.
We feel like there is a lot of access to
local food in St. Marys County, there are
a lot of people selling food on the side of
the road and several farmers markets.we
didnt feel like this was happening in North
Beach and talking with people who live up
this way and people in the government, they
also felt that this would be a great place for a
second location for Chesapeakes Bounty,
said owner William Kreamer.
Chesapeakes Bounty origins lay in Port
Republic where, according to their website,
the original location opened in 1994 by the
late Greg Ciesielski and his daughter Marci
Kreamer. The business flourished up until
its closing in 2006. It reopened again a year
later in 2007 thanks to the current owner
and son/grandson of Kreamer and Ciesielski, William Kreamer. Not soon after, Chesapeakes Bounty moved and opened their
current location in St. Leonard in 2009.
Chesapeakes Bounty offers produce,
meats, seafood, plants and flowers, dairy
products, firewood, baked goods, seasonal
dcor, soaps, and more. They run seven
days a week from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. and offer seasonal food at all times of the year.
They try to offer specials everyday based
on the local catch and harvest, which are
announced via email, Facebook, or phone.
The new location will be continuing
the free educational programs they offer
in St. Leonards, such as Gardening, Wild
Foraging, Mushroom Cultivation, Natural
Building, Healthy Eating, Plant Propagation, Primitive Skills, Hide Tanning, Per-

BLEACHERS
A View From The
Silenced Roar
By Ronald N. Guy Jr.
Contributing Writer
This column is a guilt-ridden obligation. Ive never written about outdoor sports, despite frequently hunting and fishing in Southern Maryland
as a kid. My best childhood memories
include catching crabs, hooking yellow perch in the McIntosh Run and
hunting squirrels and deer in the fall.
But awful circumstances have forced
the subject upon me. As a human being and former hunter, Im upset and
outraged.
I owe my outdoor experiences to
two uncles who were, and still are,
avid sportsmen. They do things the
right way and ensured their apprentice
would too. I took hunter safety courses
and adhered to strict gun storage and
handling protocol. My licenses were
always current. All hunting was done
in season. Bag limits were gospel.
Game was clearly identified before
taking a shot. No mammal, fish or
crustacean was harvested against the
rules ever and every kill was used.
Nature and its species were to be respected. Taking animals from the wild
wasnt a right; it was a privilege. That
was the Native American way. Thats
how I was taught. Thats how it should
always be.
Most sportsmen share those values.
Thats why most are disgusted by the
recent death of a 13-year-old lion in
Zimbabwe. His name was Cecil. He
will roar no more.
In life, Cecil was a national treasure: a majestic, black-maned beast
who was a resident of Hwange National Park and a collared participant in an
Oxford University study. In death, he
has become a symbol of disturbing human arrogance and excess.
William Parker, an American dentist, killed Cecil. Parker, an avid big
game hunter, paid $50,000 for the
right (moneythe root of evil). He
and his local guides allegedly strapped
a carcass to their vehicle, lured Cecil
beyond the parks boundaries and
Parker shot him with a crossbow. The
injured lion was tracked for the next
40 hours (ugh) until Parker finally delivered the kill shot. Cecils head was
decapitated, his collar removed and
his body skinned and left to rot.
Regardless of whether this was a
technically legal hunt, does it sound

efforts of many local residents. This tragic

of the Deale Area Historical Society; Dr. Susan
