Elementary School,
IT Building Costs
Near $38 Million
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
The St. Marys County Board of Edu-
cation briefed county commissioners on
their plan to tear down an old farm house
to make way for a new central county ele-
mentary school, which is slated to be con-
structed by 2021 at a cost of $32.8 million.
Schools Superintendent Scott Smith,
said he was concerned, however, over sig-
nals from state lawmakers that they might
be loathe to support more bonding author-
ity for capital projects next year after vot-
ing for $26.3 million this year.
If that happens, Smith said, they would
be jeopardizing a new elementary school
that thousands of people feel the need for.
Commissioner Tom Jarboe cautioned
that state lawmakers would likely act to
ensure funding for the school.
Theres plenty of time, Jarboe said.
The elementary school would be nearly
78,000 square feet in size with enough
capacity for 644 students, according to
school system plans.
School board members and commis-
sioners also debated adding on to a main
storage facility to provide housing for the
school systems information technology
needs.
The project is estimated to cost $3.43
million, solely from county funds, to re-
locate the IT functions from the Bethune
Education Center, which requires new air
conditioning and heating, asbestos remov-
al and reconguration of existing spaces
Town Seeking Demolition
Grant For Abandoned Bar
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
The Leonardtown Town Council voted
Tuesday to apply for a portion of $3 mil-
lion in state funds to nally raze the long-
deserted Pennys Bar on Route 5.
The old bar has been vacant since 2005
and has long been targeted for demolition
by some town ofcials as a blighted prop-
erty but neither the funding nor an agree-
ment for maintenance of the property with
the owner had been available until now.
The estimated costs of tearing down
the bar, plus a structure adjacent to the
property was about $63,000, said Town
Administrator Laschelle McKay; asbes-
tos abatement would increase the cost to
$93,600.
The property owner, Wayne Davis of
W.M. Davis Properties, has agreed to
maintain the property after the demolition
takes place, McKay said.

for warehousing items.
Smith said the current Bethune site was
inadequate to support IT infrastructure
since it was so old; it was rst constructed
in 1961.
We have to do something, Smith said
of the need to expand the school systems
IT capabilities.
Commissioner John OConnor said in-
stead of spending the $3.43 million, the
Celebrating
school system could investigate leasing
options in Lexington Park at vacant of-
ce space with easier access to ber optic
cables needed for IT work.
Theres plenty of ways to do this with-
out spending millions of dollars upfront in
the CIP (capital improvement program),
OConnor said.
Board member Cathy Allen countered
by saying it might be more benecial for
National

the school system to have a dedicated fa-
cility that they could own and secure on
its own rather than continue to pay leasing
costs.
Commissioner Todd Morgans sugges-
tion of holding the $3.43 million in the
construction budget until the school sys-

tem had come up with a concrete plan to
build the addition.
Its better than pushing it out several
years, Smith said. A hospital is more than a place where
guyleonard@countytimes.net people go to heal, it is a part of the
community that fosters health and
represents hope. From providing
treatment and comfort to the sick, to

the application for the demolition grant,
saying it was a way forward to eliminating
a building that had become an eye sore for
the town.
For the last 10 years probably every
six months weve talked about tearing this
down, Roberts said.
The grant, if approved by the state for
the town, would require Davis to match 25
percent of the states grant funding, McK-
ay explained.
Redevelopment of the property after the
building is razed is possible, McKay said,
since Davis already has concept site ap-
proval for a project that envisions a hotel
and retail shopping at the site.

Governor Vetoes Partisan
Redistricting Legislation
Governor Larry Hogan today vetoed Sen-
ate Bill 1023, which would prevent Mary-
land from moving forward with nonpartisan
redistricting reform. He was joined by Lt.
Governor Boyd Rutherford, Redistricting
Reform Commission co-chairs Judge Alex
Williams and Walter Olson, Commission
members Tessa Hill-Aston of the Baltimore
City NAACP, Christopher Summers of the
Maryland Public Policy Institute, and Ash-
ley Oleson of the League of Women Voters,
Baltimore County Senator Jim Brochin, and
House Minority Leader Nic Kipke.
Instead of choosing fairness and real,
nonpartisan reform, legislators pushed
through a phony bill masquerading as redis-
tricting reform. It was nothing more than a
political ploy designed with one purpose: to
ensure that real redistricting reform would
never actually happen in Maryland, which
is why I am vetoing this misguided legisla-
tion, said Hogan. We will continue our
fight to clean up the political process in
our state, to ensure that the best interests of
Marylands citizens are being represented
fairly and honestly, and that the voices of the
people we were elected to serve are finally
heard. The governor detailed several fatal
flaws in the legislation, including making
any reform in Maryland contingent on five
other states taking action; only applying to
congressional districts and not state legis-
lative districts; and creating a politically-
charged commission with members selected
by legislative leaders instead of removing
politicians from the process, as the admin-
istrations proposed legislation would do. I

Blue Crabs Bats Come
Alive Against Long Island
The Southern Maryland Blue Crabs (9-8),
won the series finale of their three-game road
series My 7 against the Long Island Ducks
(8-9) 8-2, completing their first sweep of
their 2017 10th AnniversarySeason.
The Blue Crabs jumped on Long Islands
starting pitcher, Matt Larkins, putting up
four runs in the top of the first inning. South-
ern Maryland started the game with six
straight singles, before Patrick Palmeiro hit a
sacrifice fly to center to record the first out of
the game. Although Palmeiro went down as
the first out, he was able to drive in Michael
Snyder from third, putting the Blue Crabs
ahead 4-0 early in the game.
Southern Marylands starter, Justin De
Fratus (3-1), cruised through five innings of
work, picking up his third win in four starts
this season. De Fratus gave up just four hits
in the game and only allowed one run, a solo
home run from Nolan Reimold in the sec-
ond inning. The outing lowered the rightys
ERA to 1.40 on the season, putting him
third lowest among eligible starters in the
AtlanticLeague.
The Blue Crabs piled on four more runs
to extend their lead in the top of the fourth
inning. Back-to-back bases loaded singles
from Cory Vaughn and Snyder scored the
first three runs in the inning. Palmeiro fol-
lowed two batters later, picking up his sec-
ond RBI on the day when he scored Vaughn
on a single to right field. De Fratus went
back to work with an 8-1 lead, and threw a
scoreless bottom of the inning, before being
lifted from the game after the fifth inning.
He finished the game having thrown just 67

pitches, after a 112-pitch outing in his previ-
ous start.
Both bullpens traded scoreless innings in
the sixth, seventh, and eighth innings, be-
fore Southern Maryland turned to reliever
Jesse Beal to finish the game. The righty
gave up a leadoff single to Cody Puckett,
who advanced to third on a double from Dan
Lyons. Beal picked up a strikeout to record
the first out of the inning, before a sacrifice
fly from Giovanny Alfonso scored Puckett,
and brought the score to 8-2. Beal recov-
ered quickly, getting Fehlandt Lentini on a
ground out to second, finishing the game and
solidifying the first series sweep of the year
for the Blue Crabs.
The Blue Crabs return to action Mon-
day, May 8th, as they travel to Lancaster to
face the Barnstormers for the first time this
season. Southern Maryland will send RHP
Austin Fleet (0-0, 10.29 ERA) to the mound
in game one of the three-game series. He
will matchup against Lancasters RHP Brad
Bergesen (1-0, 1.50 ERA), making his third
start of the season for the Barnstormers. The
teams enter this series tied for second in the
Freedom Division, just one game behind the
Sugar Land Skeeters. First pitch is scheduled
for 6:30 P.M. on Monday at Clipper Maga-
zine Stadium.

Great Mills Track to be
Replaced This Summer
Chopticon Project Delayed a Year
By Dick Myers
Staff Writer
The St. Marys County Board of Educa-
tion has approved funding for the refur-
bishment of the track at Great Mills High
School But, a project to refurbish the track
at Chopticon High School has been de-
layed a year and will be done in the sum-
mer of2018.
The Chopticon project was delayed af-
ter it was decided to also seek an expan-
sion of that track from six to eight lanes.
That involved adding additional impervi-
ous surfaces which triggered the need for
additional stormwater management based
on state regulations.
The Blasco Engineering firm has pre-
pared and submitted a concept plan for
the Chopticon project to the Maryland
Department of Environment. Director of
Design and Construction Larry Hartwick
told the school board at their April 26
meeting that the state review would take
about two months, making doing the work
this summer impractical.
The Great Mills resurfacing will cost
$314304 with a $25,000 continency. The
school system piggybacked onto a Bal-
timore County Public Schools contract
with American Tennis Courts, Inc., The
school system used the same contract for
the refurbishment of the Leonardtown
H.S. running track in 2014 and the tennis
courts at Great Mills and Chopticon high
schools and Esperanza Middle School in
2016.
The project involves stripping the exist-
ing rubber track surface from the asphalt
base and overlaying two inches of new
Seahawk Makes All CAC
Mens Tennis Team
First-year Jonathan Gorel (Jessup, Md./
Hammond) was the lone St. Marys Col-
lege of Maryland mens tennis player to
gain a spot on the 2017 All-Capital Athlet-
ic Conference Mens Tennis Team, which
was released by Assistant CAC Commis-
sioner Tim Mowrer Thursday morning.
Gorel landed on the second team at No.
1 singles and is the first Seahawk mens
tennis player to garner all-conference ac-
colades since Andrew Gear 14 picked
up second team honors at No. 1 singles
in2014.
He posted an 8-7 (2-2 CAC) overall re-
cord at No. 1 singles before being sidelined
with a season-ending injury and missing
the final two matches of the season. Gorel
went 7-6 in dual matches and 1-1 at the
ITA Southeast Regional Championships
on October 1-3.
Thursday, May 11, 2017
asphalt on the existing base. The over-
lay consists of concrete or asphalt topped
with rubber granules and then with a
Plexitrac top coat.
Board member Cathy Allen said she
had heard complaints about the Leonard-
town H.S. track which has the same top
coating. She said one mother who has had
children use both Great Mills and Chop-
ticon tracks say they preferred the Greet
Mills rubber track, The Leonardtown
track, she said, had very little give which
made it difficult to practice on.
Hartwick said it was his impression
that the Plexitrac coating is used widely
throughout the state but he would make
additional inquiries and report back on
hisfindings.
The Great Mills project includes re-
moval and replacement of perimeter
fencing, painting the running lanes and
replacing sand and takeoff boards for the
jumping areas. The scope of work also
includes extending and tapering asphalt
along the adjoining walkways adjacent to
the home bleachers to correct an existing
drainage problem.
Work will begin on the Great Mills
project on or about May 31st.
The Chopticon expansion and replace-
ment is estimated to cost more than
$400,000. With the total for the two
schools projects topping $750,000, it is
still expected they will come in under
the budgeted amount for them, according
toHartwick.
dickmyers@countytimes.net
In doubles action, Gorel notched a 9-9
overall record between play at No. 1 and
No. 2 doubles with junior captain Connor
McKissick (Leonardtown, Md./Leonard-
town) and fellow classmate Ethan Garren
(Arnold, Md./Broadneck), respectively.
He tallied a 3-0 dual match record at No.
2 doubles and a 3-1 mark at ITA Southeast
Regional Championships with Garren.
Gorel and Garren opened up the 2016-
17 season with six straight triumphs be-
fore falling in the championship match of
the B3 doubles at ITAs in October.
Gorel finished his rookie campaign
third on the team in both singles and
doubles victories.

Davis Questions Classroom

Furniture Costs
By Dick Myers
Staff Writer
St. Marys County Board of Education
member Jim Davis was hit with a bad case
of sticker shock. What raised his concern
was the price tag for replacing classroom
furniture in three elementary schools.
He said he didnt want to be considered
a Scrooge, but A half-million is a lot
ofmoney.
Actually, the cost was $438,750.66 to
replace all of the furniture at Dynard and
Lettie Marshall Dent elementary schools
and some of the furniture at White Marsh
(80 student desks were replaced in 2016).
Davis at the boards April 26 meeting,
wanted to know if the cost-benefit was
reasonable. He observed that when he was
growing up he had a desk with a connected
chair that wasnt very comfortable and he
was able to get an education.
Director of Operations Ashley Varner
assured Davis the price was reasonable. He
told the board that the contract price was a
discount of 51.9 percent from listprices.
The three schools have the oldest class-
room furniture in the system, with Dy-
nard and Lettie Marshall Dent having
been replaced in 1992 and White Marsh
sometime before that. They are next up
on what the school system hopes will be a
replacementschedule.
School Superintendent Scott Smith
defended the purchase saying getting
27 years use out of the furniture from
grade school kids was impressive. He also
added, Where you live shouldnt deter-
mine what is in the classroom. The three
schools are all in the northern part of St. New Multipurpose Center Coming
To St. Marys Ryken Fall 2018

Varner said that classroom sets to be re-
placed included student chairs and desks,

 16 Feature Story
Leaders Search For Ways To
Improve Lexington Park
Some county leaders are concerned that
as St. Marys continues to grow and prosper
the very core of its urban life, Lexington
Park, will continue to be left behind.
Despite the many projects, which have
improved the look of the park and the Great
Mills Road corridor to an extent, they still
say that the once thriving economic life of
the Park continues to flow away and that
new ideas are needed to turn Lexington Park
around.
County Commissioner Todd Morgan is
one of them and research he has shared pub-
licly shows that subsidized housing, known
also as Section 8, in St. Marys far out-
weighs the number of units in either Calvert
or Charles counties.
We are one of the richest counties in
Maryland and yet Lexington Park con-
tinues to exhibit significant socioeco-
nomic decline, Morgan told The County
Times. Its time for a significant look at
LexingtonPark.
According to Morgans findings there
1,237 such housing units in Charles County,
which is more urbanized and has a higher
population, while there are 1,870 Section 8
units in St. Marys.
There are only 420 in Calvert,
Morgansaid.
We have made Lexington Park a mag-
net for economically less advantaged folks,
Morgan said. We have major problems in
Lexington Park.
Morgan said his research also showed that
at Lexington Park Elementary and George
Washington Carver Elementary schools,
64 percent and 78.5 percent of students at-
tending there are participating in the FARM
(free or reduced meal) program.
Morgan advocates public/private partner-
ships to revitalize the economic engine of
Lexington Park, using infrastructure invest-
The County Times
ment to entice more economic growth and
raise incomes.
Traditional means of getting grants from
state agencies to help build housing projects
or improve amenities, though, are no longer
a reliable means of achieving revitalization
on its own, he said.
The community has to step up and help
itself, Morgan said. Were not going to do
it by grants.
Money alone wont solve this problem.
Robert Schaller, former head of the coun-
tys economic and community development
agency, now working for the Florida Insti-
tute of Technology branch office in Lexing-
ton Park, recalls the frustrations of finding
successful ways of revitalizing Lexington
Park after a major realignment of U.S. Navy
programs NAVAIR among them to the
base in the mid-1990s helped draw commer-
cial development farther north on Route235.
When the traffic flow shifted from the
Great Mills Road base gate to the main en-
trance on Three Notch Road that took mon-
ey away from businesses in the downtown
area.
The focus went to Route 235, Schaller
said. When that happened everything
changed.
Schaller said the economic heart needs to
be put back into Lexington Park for revital-
ization to have a chance.
The problem is investment is leaving,
said Schaller. Thats the structural problem.
Government is essential but fundamen-
tally the market determines where develop-
ment occurs, Schaller said. You go where
the people are and anything big has gone up
Route 235.
Schaller said as the money shifted north
those who could afford to, followed it.
Those who arent mobile, thats where
the urban decay begins.
Photos by Frank Marquart
Lexington Park needs government invest-
ment initially, Schaller said, but private in-
vestment returning was the real answer.
Also, there needed to be an overarching
strategy or authority to guide the revital-
ization, much like the Town of Leonard-
town has done and continues to do, to help
ensuresuccess.
I dont think its been adequate, Schaller tions not only of decay, she said, but
said of investment in Lexington Park lately.
And when I was in office there just wasnt
money to go around.
If thats done I think the market place
will respond. The reality is government
doesnt have all the resources.
Viki Volk, executive director of the St.
Marys County Community Development
Corporation (CDC), said Lexington Park
lacks a unifying authority to help make re-
vitalization stronger.
The first problem is just not having a
governmental structure to oversee Lexing-
ton Park progress, Volk said. The county
government clearly has to be about the entire
county, not just one portion ofit.
Volk said infrastructure was a problem in
the Park but not in the way most believe; the
issue was not connecting the varying pieces
of FDR Boulevard to relieve traffic from
Route 235 but rather finding ways to connect
subdivisions in Lexington Park to make ac-
cess to amenities already thereeasier.
Zoning policies call for cul-de-sacs, not
connections, Volk argued. We make it
more difficult to shop locally.
Volk said Lexington Park still has poten-
tial to draw visitor traffic if the right events
are planned out and staged one of the
CDCs main projects is to turn the vacant
88 acres once home to the Flat Tops housing
development into an arts park.
We had a cherry blossom festival there,
we wanted to see if anyone would come,

Volk said. And they did; we had 700 people
show up.
Attempting in some way to replicate what
Leonardtown has accomplished creating
an arts and entertainment district could
be one of the answers for spurring revital-
ization, Volk said.
Such a change could help lift percep-
pervasivecrime.
How do you get little old white ladies
like me to get over that perception? Volk
said. Use the arts.
Theres more crime there because there
are more people. To pretend were scarier or
more dangerous is just not true. We need in-
frastructure investment just like the rest of
the country does.
Volk announced Wednesday that the
states Department of Housing and Com-
munity Development had just awarded
$50 million worth in tax credits to revital-
ize housing stock in many Lexington Park
neighborhoods.
Volk said this kind of investment was
what the Park needed to help bring back
commercial investment.
The tax credits to be applied are for Queen
Anne Apartments, Lex Wood Apartments
and Patuxent Cove on Pegg Road.
Schaller said if disparate efforts to revital-
ize the Park can be brought together, success
would be more achievable, and without it
less attainable.
There needs to be some cohesion of these
efforts, Schaller said. This is a complicat-
ed problem and its only going to getworse.

away suddenly of
heart failure on
April 29, 2017 at

Hospital.
Born October 14,
1964 in Salina, KS,

Duane was a Master Auto Technician
and Maryland State Inspector for Mr. Tire
in California, MD for over ten years. His
co-workers had much respect for him, at
times making them mad, but at the same
time, making them laugh. His tools were
his livelihood. He had tools in his hands
from his early teen years. When he could
no longer work due to health reasons, he
was completely lost without tools in his
hand.
Duane had a sense of humor like no
other. He would light up the room even in
the doctors ofces. His doctors probably
thought he was nuts, but that was Duane,
always laughing and joking. He enjoyed
riding his Harley, boating, vacationing in
Myrtle Beach and spending time with his
family and friends.

Maritime Festival Celebrated

A dozen years ago now Calvert Marine
Museum Executive Director Sherrod Stur-

Boat Show and combine it with other ac-
tivities. The result, the Solomons Maritime
Festival, was held Saturday, May 6.
Those antique boars, motors and engines
are still a big part of the festival, filling the
museums parking lot.
But, the festival also featured many fam-
ily activities with Drum Point Lighthouse
as the backdrop. They included show and

Flesh-Eating Bacteria Expert
to Speak at Museum
Dr. Rita R. Colwell, a recognized expert
on Vibrio vulnificus, a flesh eating bac-
teria found in the Chesapeake Bay, will
speak at the Calvert Marine Museum on
Friday, May 19 at 6:30 p.m. in the Harms
Gallery. Dr. Colwell, a global infectious
disease specialist, is the recipient of the
Order of the Rising Sun, Gold and Silver
Star; the 2006 National Medal of Science;
and the Stockholm Water Prize in 2010 for
her contributions toward solving water-
related public health problems.
Vibrio vulnificus causes infection that
can occur after eating raw or undercooked
seafood; the bacteria can also enter the
body through open wounds when swim-
ming or wading in infected waters. People
with compromised immune systems are
eighty times more susceptible to Vibrio
vulnificus. Symptoms can include vom-
iting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and a
blistering dermatitis. Immediate treat-
ment from third generation antibiotics is
necessary for survival from a suspected
case of Vibrio vulnificus. Having accurate
information and the ability to recognize
symptoms is critical for those working
around the water.
Roy Fedders, a member of the Health
Coalition for St. Marys County, became
concerned about this problem several
years ago when it affected two of his
neighbors. He most recently coordinated
the contact with Dr. Colwell. People
need to be aware of this often misdiag-
nosed bacterium that, if not treated within
48 hours, can be fatal. It is believed that
there are quite a few cases nationally and
locally that have gone unreported due to
misdiagnosis.

and spayed or neutered. You can ll out an application
atwww.feralcatrescuemd.org and email to diane@feral-

and you can reserve your kitten. We strongly recommend
if you do not have a cat or dog already that you
adopt two so they can keep each other com-
pany while you are at work. Tiny kittens left
alone often cry and it is very upsetting to
them to be left alone. If they are not ad-
opted before May 20th then they will be at
the Petco in California on most Saturdays
and Sundays from 10:30 to 3.

Vicious Circle
By Terri Schlichenmeyer
by C.J. Box
Its gone around and around.
Your mind just cant let go: how can you
put an end to a ticklish problem? Youve let
it roll through your head, around and around
until you almost cant think right, hoping the
solution is somewhere close. But, as in the
new book Vicious Circle by C.J. Box, the
fix may be harder than itseems.
Throughout his career, game warden Joe
Pickett had seen a lot of dead bodies. Hed
seen them in many places and positions, but
hed never actually witnessed a murder until
he saw one on an iPad screen in a Cessna,
high above the Wyoming mountains.
Happy Mothers Days Official Military Records,
I want to wish all the other mothers and
grandmothers out there a Happy Mothers
Day, or as I like to think of it as Mothers
Day week. How fun would it be to change
the name of Mothers Day to Mothers
Days? Maybe you should be entitled to a
day for each child and each grandchild. I
know there is a Grandparents Day too, but
no reason we cant have two days or more
is there? Wouldnt that be fun? And the
kids and grandkids have to go anywhere
you say. How about an amusement park
day. No, that may or may not be fun. My
memories of amusement parks with my
sons were me carrying everything they
did not want to carry and trailing behind
them. I would just be an invisible blob cov-
ered in sweatshirts, drink cups, and candy
wrappers. Maybe a historic site I would
love that, but not sure about the grandkids.
The best place to me and one of the tradi-
tions with my sons is to go to Dorsey Park
and have a cook-out. Though I am not ad-
verse to being taken to restaurants any
restaurant is fine. I can eat something any-
where, but Old Town Alexandria might
be fine too. I wonder if my sons read my
column?
Well, I hope my sons do read it, I found
some lovely little Mothers Day poems on
the Country living magazine website that
they may want to incorporate into MY
the day featured below. However, when
I think about them adding the poems in,
I can only imagine what they are really
thinking when they recite them, and how
happy it would make me. What I hope
theyd be thinking is written below each
little Mothers Day quote.
God could not be everywhere and
therefore he made mothers. Unknown
The County Times
The victim, he was sure, was DaveFarkus.
Reported missing by a hunting buddy,
Farkus had disappeared, leaving his beer.
He was familiar with the area; Pickett knew
him, and he knew that a one-time outdoor
guide like Farkus didnt just get lost in the
woods. Add to that the odd call hed made to
Pickett the night before something about
Dallas Cates and Stockmans Bar - and
something was wrong.
Everybody in Twelve Sleep County had
been dreading this day, ever since Cates
went to prison. Before he left, hed vowed re-
venge on everyone whod hurt his family and
What I hear: Yes, so true about our be-
loved Mother.
What they are really saying: Well, ex-
cept when you remember how she was in
school with us nearly every day volunteer-
ing and going everywhere with us. We
couldnt do anything wrong. She WAS
everywhere we were! The term helicopter
moms was invented for her.
All that I am or ever hope to be, I
owe to my angel mother. Abraham
Lincoln
What I hear: We do owe it all to Mom.
What they are really saying: No, Mom
was a scattered thinker and should have
been put on Ritalin long ago. We did this
all ourselves.
A mother is a person who seeing
there are only four pieces of pie for five
people, promptly announces she never
did care for pie. Tenneva Jordan
What I hear: Our mother would starve
before taking the best food or only food
for herself. What they are really saying:
Yeah right, have you seen the look in her
eye when there is one piece of pie left any-
where? Turn your head and its gone.
Ah, it is so nice to hear how loved you
are as a parent, and how much they value
you and all the time and effort that went
in to raising them into the outstanding
young men they now are. I cant wait for
Sunday. For some reason I am hoping they
will bring me a huge Lemon Meringue pie,
dont know why though

ruined his life, and nobody in Saddlestring
doubted hed try to get it. Pickett, whod put
Cates away then, was the firsttarget.
True to form, the newly-freed Cates went
afoul of the law almost immediately and
was quickly released because Undersheriff
Lester Spivak had done something stupid
during the arrest. With the possibility of
double-jeopardy gone and with two former
jail-buddies waiting in the wings to help,
Cates focused on Pickett.
But what other than former fame as a
rodeo star did Cates have to offer the men
who seemed willing to kill for him? That
didnt make sense to Pickett; there didnt
seem to be good motives for anyone to kill
Farkus or bartender Wanda Stacy, who was
also missing. And none of them seemed the
type to do business with a meth tweaker
like the one whod been stalking Picketts
daughters

time, you can add Vicious Circle. If you If youre an old hand at the Pickett Posse,
dont, you may as well kiss sleep goodbye.
Yes, theres more than just one keep-you-
up-all-night heart-pounder in this book; its
the seventeenth novel to feature Joe Pickett,
after all, and author C.J. Box nails it again
with a story that lays out the clues and dares
Civil War, Pt. III
April 16, 1865, Washington, D.C.: Gen-
eral Slough, Military Governor. The mur-
derer of the President is undoubtedly J.
Wilkes Booth, the actor. The other party is
a smooth-faced man, quite stout. You had
better have a squad of cavalry sent down
toward the Occoquan to intercept anything
crossing the river. The fishermen along the
river should be notified and kept on the look-
out. C. C. Augur, Major-General.
April 16, 1865: Headquarters Govern-
ment Farms, Saint Marys County, Md.
Captain Willauer, Leonardtown, Md.: Sir,
I have overtaken about thirty-five men of
Garland Smiths command and captured one
prisoner. Some very heavy skirmishing took
place about 10 oclock near Mechanicsville,
in which I lost one man. I had to fall back
in consequence of not having men enough.
Send me all the men you can spare and let
them report to me. F. F. Buckley, Captain.
April 20, 1865: Leonardtown. Bvt. Col. J.
H. Taylor, Chief of Staff: Just reached here
with one company; the other three took dif-
ferent roads from vicinity of Port Tobacco.
One struck the Patuxent at Benedict; will
follow up that river. One will scour the coun-
try down the Potomac, along the Wicomico
River and vicinity. All will be here to-day.
Feel quite certain this last company will be
in vicinity to assist a squad of infantry sent
from here last night. Major OBeirne thinks
Montgomery County should be searched
for George A. Atzerodt. Boats reach here
by coming up Brittons Bay. Jno. M. Waite,
Major, &c.

ure them out.
Readers who
know Pickett
know that that
wont be easy,
just as theyll
remember
how Box often
brings back
truly nasty
bad-guys and
leaves fans
with an ag-
grrrrrrivating
cliff-hanger.
And that, of
course, will have you screaming for the next
installment.
Dont hesitate to start this book if youre
new to Boxs novels; it wont take long to
though, rejoice! Find Vicious Circle. Its a
book youll want around.

fight between General Barnes Cavalry and
a force of guerillas was all a humbug. The
officer who made the report should be dis-
missed. There is work to do here, and now
that the battalion is here I think they can
be profitably employed for a time. Schoo-
ner Lydia not in Patuxent. Three blockade-
runners brought in to-day, and a number of
boats destroyed along the Wicomico River.
J. M. Waite, Major, &c.
April 20, 1865: Point Lookout. Major-
General augur, Commanding Department:
Will you inform me what change has been
made in my district. I have a telegraphic
dispatch from an officer there stating he has
taken command, and will send my troops
back if I wish them. Jas. Barnes, Brigadier-
General, Commanding.
April 20, 1865: Headquarters Depart-
ment of Washington, Twenty-Second Army
Corps. General Barnes, Commanding, Point
Lookout. There has been no change made in
your district. Major Waite, of my staff, has
been sent to Leonardtown with a detach-
ment of cavalry on special duty connected
with the search for the murderer of the late
President. He has orders to take charge of
any detachment he might find, and to con-
tinue their movements with his. It never oc-
curred to me that he was to operate in your
district or I should have notified you of the
object of his movement. His duties are of
a special character, and not intended to in-
terfere with your command. C. C. Augur,
Major-General, Commanding.
