Do you think the county needs to do more
to prevent the illegal practice of driving of
all-terrain vehicles on county roads?
YES
They are dangerous to
have on the roads, said Ralph
Hodges, a retired Air Force
colonel who lives in Char-
lotte Hall. Sometimes
they go really slow and
sometimes they go too
fast. Teenagers are
the main ones driving
these things. Some-
times they just run
right out in front of
you while they cross
the street just about
anywhere.
NO
You can ride
a motorcycle on the
roads as long as you
use a helmet, so why
shouldnt you be able
to drive your ATV
on the roads?,

Up On Oyster Spat
On the way
sewage lines are

By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
Last week members assisting the Wicomico Scenic
River Commission handed out 176 cages of oyster spat on
shells to just over 30 volunteers willing to hang the cages in
the water off their private piers.
They hope it will be a positive step in helping the en-
dangered species to make a resurgence in the Wicomico
River.
All in all, it was a good day, said Robert Elwood, the
sole St. Marys County member on the commission. Its
what you call a necessary but not suffcient step.
Oyster seeding projects like the Oyster Recovery Part-
nership continue to reintroduce oyster spat (young oysters)
on shells which are placed onto sanctuary oyster bars in the
Patuxent River by the millions.
William Brown, a retired Charles County sheriffs dep-
uty who turned to working as a waterman, said he took fve
cages full of spat to rest in the water at his St. Marys County
property as part of the governors Maryland Grows Oysters project.
He said hes seen frsthand the deterioration of the oyster habitat.
Ive seen the way the Wicomico and the Potomac rivers have be-
come depleted, Brown said. There was a day I remember when by noon
you would have 100 bushels [of oysters] on board the boat, but thats all
gone.
Now youre lucky to get 100 bushels a year.
Elwood said that after about a years time the commission volunteers
would come back to collect the mature oysters and put them on a protected
oyster sanctuary.
If people are willing well replace the cages and ask for more
volunteers, Elwood said. Its an ongoing project.

Many times developers will say they want to build a certain
number of houses during the concept plan stage, then return with
a much higher number later in the review process, according to
frustrated members of the county Planning Commission.
As a result, the commission is considering adding lan-
guage that would ensure that once developers have received
concept approval, they cannot build more than a certain per-
centage of units above the original plan.
Commission member Shelby Guazzo said that such
a percentage cap exists in Calvert County and that creat-
ing one in St. Marys County would make sense while
St. Marys County revises its long-range comprehensive
plan.
The developers have to have an idea of what they
want, Guazzo said during a lengthy Planning Com-
mission work session on the comprehensive plan Mon-
day. It just cant grow like topsy.
Guazzo alluded to the St. Marys Crossing
planned unit development in California that met
with the commissions disapproval last year after neither side could come
to agreement on the buildout of the project.
The original plan for the development started at about 300 housing
units but later mushroomed to about 830 housing units at a much greater
density.
Developers had argued that at the time they needed the greater den-
sity of homes to make the development proftable. They also offered to
donate a school site as part of the deal.
There should be some percentage of increase allowed, but not 150
percent, she said.
Commission chair Steve Reeves said he supported the idea.
All Im trying to say is be upfront with us, Reeves said. If you
want to build 150 homes, say its 150 homes. I think the percentage cap
would be a good thing.
There is nothing in the ordinance now that compels commissioners
to approve any change in a concept site plan, including an increase in the
number of homes.
You might not need to make a change to the zoning ordinance, you
could just make it your policy, Derick Berlage, director of the countys
Department of Land Use and Growth Management, told the planning
commission.

The director of the Leahs House shelter
for women and children in Valley Lee fled a
civil suit against the county Housing Author-
ity last week alleging defamation of charac-
ter following a dispute earlier this year over
rental payments.
The suit was fled by Marguerite Morris,
a minister who runs Leahs House and sits on
its board of directors.
She named Dennis Nicholson, executive
director of the Housing Authority, and also
members of its board of directors in the suit.
Nicholson referred calls to an attorney
who did not return several calls for com-
ment Wednesday.
The Housing Authority said in letters
to Morris on April 27 and a followup letter
on July 1 that it was terminating payments
for four families because Morris was re-
ceiving rental payments from the author-
ity and also collecting $1,500 per month
per family from the county Department
of Social Services.
The frst letter cites a provision in the
rental contract which says, if the Landlord
breaches any condition contained herein, or if
the Landlord or its agents engage in any fraud-
ulent act, such as misrepresenting the amount
of rent being charged for the Housing Unit
, the Housing Authority reserves the right to
terminate the contract.
The second letter claims Morris misrepre-
sented the rent to be charged on her application
to the authority for rental payments.
Morris says she never reported a rent
amount to be charged and that she left the
space blank on the application form because
she believes the payments from Social Services
are for overall services, not just for housing, ac-
cording to the complaint.
She also claims the defendants failed to
make a reasonable inquiry into the situation.
Morris claims that her reputation and that
of Leahs House has suffered because of the
allusion to fraud in the letter, which was dis-
tributed to county commissioners, the county
administrator and the Maryland Department of
Housing and Community Development, which
infuence the fow of funding.
We feel weve been harmed by these
things, which are just not true, she said
Wednesday. Theyre just foating out there in
the community, and innocent people are being
harmed.
Morris said all shelters are entitled to mul-
tiple pools of funding, and that she was never
advised that there was any confict in accept-
ing both types of payments. She said she also
checked with the state Department of Housing
and Community Development and was told
she had done nothing wrong.
Morris claims the actions of the Housing
Authority are in retaliation for past complaints
about the director of the Three Oaks shelter in
Lexington Park, which competes for funding
along with Leahs House.
Morris said Nicholson sits on the board of
Three Oaks, which she claims is a confict of
interest and gives Three Oaks an unfair advan-
tage in the competition for grants.

About 150 to 200 dedicated gamers lined up out-
side the GameStop store in California Monday night for
a chance to get their copies of Halo 3: ODST, which
is the fourth iteration of the wildly successful
Halo franchise started nearly 10 years ago.
Fans were eager to try the new cam-
paign in the frst-person shooter genre,
where in the year 2552 the human race is
faced with extinction at the hands of the
intergalactic religious hegemony known as
the Covenant.
The hero in the last three parts of the
saga, a cybernetic-enhanced, genetically
engineered super soldier known as the Mas-
ter Chief, sits out the game and is instead
replaced by a character known was
the Rookie, a member of
the elite Orbital Drop
Shock Trooper corps of
the terran military.
Since the charac-
ter doesnt have the ad-
vanced shields or pow-
ered armor that Master
Chief has, he must use
stealth and more
cunning tactics to
outwit and out-
fght his Covenant
opponents after he
is dropped from a spaceship with his squad to fght in
the African city of New Mombasa.
Dominic Willbright, of Hollywood, had been wait-
ing at the GameStop since 9 p.m. and took part in a spe-
cial tournament playing the previous Halo 3 game, in
which he eliminated 12 other players, to win a free copy
of ODST.
The new game costs a little more than $60.
Im just getting this because I was bored with the
old campaign, Willbright said, as he sat in a folding
chair waiting for the store to reopen so he could get his
hard-won game.
Others were looking forward to the new weapons
available to the ODST character, like a sound suppressed
submachine gun and pistol, each complete with en-
hanced magnifcation to zoom in on Covenant enemies
and take them down.
Its got all new weapons and stuff, a whole lot
more detail and a whole new campaign, said Andy
Hailston, second in line to get in at the door.
As the store opened up at midnight, employees
waved in customers who soon left with their copies and
sped out of the parking lot to pop it into the nearest Xbox
360 console.
Whoa! ODST man!, one gamer shouted from his
van as he passed by.
The next ODST event will be Oct. 5, where gamers
can come back by the local store to sign up for another
tournament. If they perform well enough, they can go
all the way to a Manhattan tournament where they can
win a $5,000 prize.
Gamers Stack Up For Latest Chapter Of Halo
A common custom in Spain is to eat one grape for each
of the last 12 seconds of every year for good luck.
A gas leak reported at about
12:15 p.m. Wednesday caused
emergency responders to close
down Chancellors Run Road and
divert traffc away.
County offcials said that
Washington Gas Co. was going to
attempt to fx the problem and that
there appeared to be no eminent
danger.
Theres no need for evacu-
ation, theres no safety concern,
said county spokeswoman Karen
Everett.
The gas leak was caused as
a result of construction efforts on
Chancellors Run Road to widen
the thoroughfare.
Everett said the leak would
be repaired within the span of
several hours.

ANNAPOLIS (AP) - Marylands budget
forecast darkened again as budget offcials
said declining revenue estimates will force
between $290 and $300 million in further
reductions to balance this years budget and
begin creating some cushion for a $2 billion
shortfall in the next fscal year.
The states Board of Revenue Estimates
released updated estimates for the current
and next fscal years in projections that are
still feeling the effects of the recession.
Comptroller Peter Franchot, a board
member, said while some initial signs of eco-
nomic recovery are apparent in home sales,
were a long, long way from being out of the
woods.
State revenue for fscal year 2010, which
began in July, is estimated to be about $12.3
billion, which represents about $683 million
less than previously projected. Revenue for
fscal year 2011 is estimated to be about $12.7
billion, a drop of about $921 million from
what was expected.
What is realistic is that were going to
have to go back and seriously evaluate all
programs, said T. Eloise Foster, Gov. Mar-
tin OMalleys budget secretary. Were go-
ing to have to look at what our priorities are
and were going to have to make substantial
reductions throughout the state budget.
The state needs about $233 million to
balance the current year budget, Foster said,
but offcials always aim to keep an extra fund
balance on hand. With $290 million in reduc-
tions, the state would be left with a $57 mil-
lion fund balance.
The gap means the states Board of
Public Works will need to make yet another
round of midyear budget cuts, which Foster
said should be made sooner versus later.
The mounting challenges come even as
the board already has made $736 million in
spending reductions in the frst two months
of the current fscal year, which began in
July.
Again, what we are faced with is weve
made a number of deep cuts and once again
were going to be asked to go back to the
drawing board and come up with another
budget-balancing plan to do that, Foster,
who is on the board with Franchot and Trea-
surer Nancy Kopp, said.
David Roose, executive secretary of
the board, said it seems clear that it will be
some time before robust economic growth
returns. While Maryland hasnt been hit as
hard as many other states, about 75,000 jobs
were lost over the course of the recession,
Roose said.
The states operating budget is forecast
to fall by 4.5 percent this year. That means it
will be less than it was four years before.
Foster said there are various scenarios
on how to move forward, and discussions
should be completed in the next several
days.
Meanwhile, a panel of lawmakers
convened to begin discussing the fscal re-
lationship between the state and local gov-
ernments. Warren Deschenaux, who is the
director of the states nonpartisan Offce of
Policy Analysis, said one strategy in address-
ing the budget quandary is to create a fund
balance as large as possible to carry for-
ward into the 2011 budget.
OMalley told reporters that many op-
tions will be considered to bridge the gap. He
pointed out that laying off 1,500 employees
would save $75 million, but he declined to
elaborate on any plans for state layoffs.
State Budget in Dire Shape
ANNAPOLIS (AP) A new poll has
Democrat Gov. Martin OMalley leading in
a rematch with Republican Robert Ehrlich
49 percent to 38 percent, with 13 percent
undecided.
The survey of 833 registered voters in
Maryland was conducted by Gonzales Re-
search and Marketing Strategies from Sept.
8 through Sept. 17. It has a margin of error
of no more than plus or minus 3.5 percent-
age points.
OMalley defeated Ehrlich in 2006
with 53 percent of the vote, compared to
Ehrlichs 46 percent. Ehrlich has not said
whether he will run against OMalley in the
2010 election.
The poll also found that OMalleys job
approval is about where it was at the begin-
ning of the year. Statewide, 48 percent of
voters approved of the job OMalley is doing
as governor, while 37 percent disapprove.
Poll: OMalley Leads
Ehrlich In A Rematch
ANNAPOLIS (AP) - State elections of-
fcials say a deal they struck with the Mary-
land Republican Party to pay back $75,000 to
former Lt. Gov. Michael Steeles campaign
account has fallen apart.
The party, which has run into fnancial
diffculties, agreed last week to incrementally
repay the money to Steele, now the national
GOP chairman. The two sides disagreed over
whether the payments would be a percentage
of net or gross funds raised above $15,000 for
administrative expenses.
The State Board of Elections had found
that Steeles account made an improper
contribution to the central committee to
help cover legal fees during a redistricting
dispute.
Board campaign fnance division direc-
tor Jared DeMarinis says negotiations were
renewed and a new agreement might be
signed Friday.
Maryland GOP Chairman James Pe-
lura says the party is reviewing the new
agreement.

County Fair Is Time For All To Shine
The Society of St. Vincent de Paul is
the worlds most distinguished Friend of the
Poor. The Society was founded in 1833 by
Frederic Ozanam, a 20-year-old college stu-
dent so that he and his schoolmates could put
their faith into action through service to the
poor.
The purpose of the Society is to fulfll the
two commandments: Love of God and Love
of neighbor. An essential precept of the Soci-
etys work is to provide help while conscien-
tiously maintaining the privacy and dignity of
those that are served. No work of charity is
foreign to the Society.
On Saturday, Sept. 26, the Society of St.
Vincent de Paul will hold its second annual
Friends of the Poor walk. The walk will begin
at Father Andrew White School in Leonard-
town at 9 a.m. Same day registration begins
at 7:30 a.m. The Friends of the Poor Walk is a
National fundraising effort organized nation-
ally and locally by the St. Vincent de Paul So-
ciety. The course will take walkers through the
streets of historic Leonardtown. We will have
a post walk brunch, door prizes, face painting
and balloons for children and live entertain-
ment. Health connections from St. Marys
Hospital will be at the walk offering blood
pressure screenings throughout the morning.
The goal of the walk is to call attention
to the needs of the poor. Did you know that 37
million Americans live below poverty level?
All money raised for the walk stays directly
in the local St. Vincent de Paul conferences
for direct and immediate aid to help people in
need.
You can make a difference. Feed some-
one you never met. Walk on Sept. 26. Sign up
at www.walkforthepoor or call 301-904-7990.
Will you walk?

We may have changed a lot over the past 20 years, St. Marys County is surely
different today than it was in 1989. And yes, the St. Marys County fair is different
as well (the first St. Marys Fair was in 1947, 62 years ago).
The fair is more commercialized, but not by much. The fair features more
exhibits, even a building or two more, but not all that much more. The carnival is
larger, but not so big. And the animals, well they pretty much look and smell like
the animals did 20 years ago. Some things just dont change all that much.
The school children, well their art work and projects are by far better, but thats
just the kids. The food, that has changed a lot, the hamburger stand in the middle
of the fair is no longer even there, now we have a food court with nearly anything
you could want, and we know its stuffed ham you want. That will never change.
Thats St. Marys.
The parade, surely it is bigger, but the walk is shorter, and its not all that much
bigger, after all. Election year is next year.
Most important, there are more people, but not that many more. You see, the
St. Marys County Fair is a cornerstone of our community, gobs of people have
always come, that hasnt changed.
So our county jewel is back.
There are way too many people that play tireless roles to make this event so
successful, we dont dare begin to name names. We just simply thank them all.
After this long we all know who they are.
This year we, The County Times, are joining in on the fun. As you enter the
main gate of the fair this weekend, look for us, the first ones you will see there on
your right. We will be there to greet you as you enter the fair. We invite you to join
us for a short visit. We will be taking the opportunity to get better acquainted with
our readers. For taking just 60 seconds to fill out our short reader survey we will
enter your name in our drawing for a chance to win a free fill-up of gas. More im-
portant, it will give us important information about what you want and need from
your community newspaper each week. We want to serve your needs better so we
invite you to let us know what you like about us and what you dont.
We will also have a survey available for those out there (the one or two) who
for some unknown reason dont read our paper each week. We want to hear from
them too, so we have prepared another kind of survey for those few folks. By the
way, even though they may not be reading us now, they will be soon so we will
enter those folks in a separate drawing for a free fill-up of gas as well. As a
bonus, we will give those non-readers a Free copy of this weeks County
Times (dont tell them its always Free).
And for our valuable and trusted business partners, our adver-
tisers who make it possible for St. Marys to have a good news
paper that is free to all residents, we will be there to hear from
you as well. Stop in and see us, fill out our survey telling
us how we can better meet your needs as a local business
owner and we will enter your name in a drawing for
yet another free fill-up of gas! And if youre not cur-
rently advertising with us, no problem. We want to
hear from you too.
By the way, if this weeks County Times
looks a bit different to you, its our County
Fair Blue Ribbon Edition.
So say hi as you enter the fair this week-
end and drop by again on your way out.
This year, like no fair before, theres sure
to be a lot of free gas at the county fair.

Two very different candidates for
the offce of President of St. Marys
College made their way to the campus for meetings with students,
faculty members and community members this past week.
Tuesday saw James Bacchus visiting the college to discuss
his impressions of the student body and his qualifcations for the
position.
Bacchus is the only candidate whose career has not been
centered on higher education. He has served as chairman of the
Appellate Body of the World Trade Organization and as a Demo-
cratic member of the House of Representatives for the 11
th
and 15
th

districts of Florida. Since 2004 he has served as Chairman of the
Global Trade & Investment Practice Group at Greenberg Traurig,
a law frm based in Miami, Florida.
Growing up with four other siblings in a working class fam-
ily, Bacchus said his family did not have the means to pay for his
college education.
I didnt have any way of going to a fne liberal arts college.
Vanderbilt University gave me a full academic scholarship. Be-
cause of that I was able to get a quality liberal arts education. That
made all the difference in my life. It transformed me, it trans-
formed my view of the world, he said, adding that he would focus
a great deal of his effort and infuence on extending similar op-
portunities for students.
Im not hearing one word about liberal arts education, he
said when discussing education reforms. I think it matters frst of
all because its through a liberal arts education that we learn how
to think for ourselves its creative thinking that will make
all the difference in innovation for the future.
Bacchus said that his frst fnancial priority would be to
strengthen fnancial aid programs for students. If selected, he said
he would immerse himself in student life, eat meals in the dining
hall, accompany classes on their service learning projects, and
meet with student groups to discuss issues related to the school
and the larger community.
He said he would encourage student activism and invoke his
political ties to support legislation favorable to higher education.
I dont think Id be a good president if I didnt do that, he
said.
The previous Thursday, Katherine Conway-Turner visited
the campus and meet with students and faculty members, where
she said she had heard through a colleague about the opportunity
at St. Marys College.
I thought it was a wonderful match for my experience and
my background, she said, citing her 27 years of experience in
higher education, earning her Ph.D. in psychology from the Uni-
versity of Kansas and teaching psychology at Santa Clara Univer-
sity. She served as dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Social
Sciences at Georgia South University and provost at the State Uni-
versity of New York-Geneseo.
In addition to her career in academia, Conway-Turner found-
ed a consulting company last January in Wilmington, Del., called
Leaders Without Boundaries, a frm that she said worked with
institutions focusing on problem solving and strategic planning.
When asked how she planned to juggle her duties as found-
er of a consulting frm and her duties as president of the college,
Conway-Turner stated that she would step down from her frm if
chosen as the colleges next president.
When asked how she planned to maintain ties with the stu-
dent population, Conway-Turner said that she would not be an in-
visible president and that she would consult with student groups
on a regular basis.
Conway-Turner also said she
hoped to increase the colleges visibility
with the local and national media.
Id be looking for more national
recognition, like making sure national
organizations get to learn about St.
Marys and know about it, she said.
Campus visits are among the last
steps in the colleges selection pro-
cess for their next president, who will
succeed outgoing president Maggie
OBrien. Members of the public will
have a chance to meet the rest of the
candidates from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. in
St. Marys Hall on the following days: Mary Ann Baenninger on
Thursday, Sept. 24, and Joseph Bruno on Tuesday, Sept. 29.
Board members are expected to announce their fnal selec-
tion at their next board meeting on Oct. 3.

ANNAPOLIS (Capital News Service) -
The weak economy and the resulting budget
defcit remain the most pressing concerns fac-
ing the state and solutions might require sacri-
fces Marylanders dont support, according to
a statewide poll released Tuesday by Gonzales
Research and Marketing Strategies.
The Gonzales poll found that 43 percent
of voters named the economy as the most im-
portant issue facing the state and 75 percent
said they think Marylands budget issues are
a very big problem.
But when asked how to fx the budget,
the majority of voters opposed the seven solu-
tions suggested in the survey. For instance, 80
percent opposed reducing state aid for public
education, 70 percent opposed reducing state
services for the poor, and 67 percent opposed
increasing the state income tax.
The poll sampled 833 registered Maryland
voters in mid-September and has a margin of
error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.
The economy was by far the most impor-
tant issue to voters. Health care and taxes at 13
percent and 12 percent respectively were the
only other issues to break double digits.
Poll: State Budget a Big Problem
Hospital Merger Means More
Jobs, Services
By Sean Rice
Staff Writer
Leaders of St. Marys Hospital and Med-
Star Health say their merger, announced this
week, will result in expanded services in
Southern Maryland and additional job oppor-
tunities at the hospital.
The St. Marys Hospital Board of Gov-
ernance reached out to MedStar more than
a year ago about the possibility of joining
forces, reports Christine Wray, president and
CEO of St. Marys Hospital. Last week the
leadership of both corporations sealed the
deal.
We reached out to MedStar. We initi-
ated this process, Wray told The County
Times. It was very important on our board
of directors agenda to look for the long term
planning for the hospital in studying it, we
found that MedStar was really the organiza-
tion that ft with us.
Unlike what typically comes to mind
when two companies merge, there will be no
layoffs or reductions in services.
This is not the merger of two factories,
where you have the ability to consolidate
them, that is absolutely not the case, this is
a strategic marriage, if you will, said Ken
Samet, CEO of MedStar.
St. Marys Hospitals current staff, ad-
ministration and board of directors will re-
main in place, Wray and Samet confrmed. In
fact, their boards will also merge, with one
member from St. Marys moving to Med-
Stars board and one executive from MedStar
joining the board at St. Marys.
Samet said if the board and leadership at
St. Marys Hospital was not ready and will-
ing to join MedStar, then MedStar would
not have been willing to merge. This only
works when you really do have the spirit of
partnership.
Both CEOs confrmed all existing staff
will remain.
Were in a growing area, and health
care is a growing industry, Wray said. We
need everyone we have here today, and then
some.
Samet said: We are absolutely looking
to continue to enjoy the commitment of all of
the associates at St. Marys today. Over time
I hope we will grow services, grow the kind
of care we offer ... and that we will actually
grow the number of associates it takes to pro-
vide care.
With an acknowledged shortage of
physicians and specialty care in Southern
Maryland, such as gynecologists, St. Marys
Hospitals leadership is excited about the ex-
panded opportunities available as a result of
the merger.
We look forward to working with Med-
Star, because they have a depth of resources
and expertise that we can tap into, said Wray.
Where we are especially focused and will be
working with MedStar is on recruitment and
retention of physicians; thats the biggest area
where we see great opportunity.
Samet said they will get right to work.
Well immediately begin to work on
a strategic plan together with the leadership
of St. Marys, Samet said. Well look at the
communitys needs and together well build
those services out, and part of that will be in-
vestment in technology and people.
There will not only be benefts for St.
Marys Hospital, but also for MedStar which
will learn from St. Marys full conversion to
electronic medical records, Samet said. Med-
Star is about halfway through its transition
to fully electronic medical records, using the
same equipment that St. Marys Hospital is
currently using.
So theres some nice connectivity there
right from the start, Samet said.

Grand Opening
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
Within six weeks the highly anticipated
F-35 Joint Strike Fighter project will be here
at the Patuxent River Naval Air Station, but
no one is exactly sure just how much noise
the new advanced fghter and attack craft will
bring with it.
Lt. Col. Fred Schenk, one of the lead Ma-
rine offcers for the fghter project, said that the
frst plane should be at the base perhaps a little
more than a months time.
Were looking at one month to six weeks
at the most from seeing our frst plane at Pax
River, Schenk told a joint meeting of county
offcials and base offcers Tuesday.
Eventually there will be fve planes on
base of the Marine Corp version ( F-35B),
which uses the STOVL or short take off and
vertical landing system, and three planes for
use by the U.S. Navy (F-35C) that will be air-
craft carrier capable.
Between the Navy and Marine Corps ver-
sions, there will be about 3,500 test fights and
600 employees working on base to support the
program, Schenk said.
Schenk said that the noise of the plane will
likely be less than commonly expected, but the
Marine Corps version with its ability to hover
for lengthy periods of time could make jet
noise much more noticeable.
But the testing of the STOVL capability
will only occur inside the base perimeter, he
said.
When were doing STOVL fight, our
goal is to avoid fight over populated areas,
Schenk said Tuesday, adding that the thrust put
out by one fghter taking off vertically equaled
about 40,000 pounds of force.
The Navy version of the plane is designed
for catapault launches off carrier decks.
Local offcials do not have frm numbers
yet about expected decibel levels, but they be-
lieve that the noise level will be higher than
any other similar plane that has ever been at
the base.
We dont have any hard numbers, said
Keith Fairfax, vice president of the Southern
Maryland Navy Alliance. We think its going
to be high we think the noise will be higher
than the F-18 but we dont know.
Fairfax, a retired engineer, said that the
real questions surrounding the coming of the
new fghter/attack craft would center around
not just noise but also how much the plane
would fy and in what sectors of the countys
airspace.
I think the government will do what it
can to minimize the noise, Fairfax said.
But that question, as to what the govern-
ment can do to ameliorate expected heavy
noise impacts, is still up in the air, said the
county director of the Department of Econom-
ic and Community Development.
Bob Schaller said that they had hoped to
get new information on those noise impacts
soon but that did not seem as if it was going
to happen.
We hoped we could get new data but
were not, Schaller told The County Times.
Were anxious because from that [data on
noise] it changes our zoning.
The noise contours used to mitigate noise
in developments that would be affected by the
jets operations would be essential consider-
ations in the zoning ordinance.
This would most likely change those be-
cause its a new aircraft, Schaller said.
Noise mitigation changes could also cause
developers to pay for more sound proofng of
buildings and homes in the area of the jets op-
erations, Schaller explained.
Despite the issues surrounding the Joint
Strike Fighter, county offcials and base ob-
servers are awaiting what they believe will be
an enormous positive economic impact to the
local economy.
Its a huge economic engine here, Fair-
fax said of the coming project. This will be
the fghter attack airplane for use well into
2050.
With the advent of sophisticated UAV
(unmanned air vehicle) taking on both tactical
and reconnaissance missions for the military,
Joint Strike Fighter might also be the last of
a breed.
Were going to be dealing with it for a
long time. This may be the last manned fght-
er, Fairfax said.

ing and other refreshments. The spectacular freworks
show begins on the waterfront at dusk. Dancing will

provided by Six Gun South.
On Sunday, the festival again begins at 10:00 a.m.
with the boat rides to the Island and the tours. All ac-
tivities will begin at this time and the Piscataway Indians
will perform at 10:30 a.m. Delegate John F. Wood, Jr.,
member of the Maryland House of Delegates will con-
duct the presentation of the selection of the 2009 Ancient

waterman that has spent his life working on the rivers
of Southern Maryland. This years selection is Bert
Hayden of Avenue, Maryland. This is the thirteenth pre-
sentation of this award and the previous selections will
be announced at this time.
The national anthem will be performed by Lois
Beverage and this marks the beginning of the great pa-
rade with high school bands, classic cars, antique trac-
tors, marching units, fre departments, rescue squads
and other groups. The parade is under the direction of
Lois Beverage.

Route 5 south to Morganza, turn right on Route 242. Go
about 8 miles to Colton Point. You can visit the St. Clem-
ents Island Museum and understand our unique roll in
Maryland history. Admission to the museum is free for
the weekend. Take the free boat ride to the Blackistone
Lighthouse. This is where Maryland began 374 years
ago. The locals call this area Gods Country. There is
little doubt.
The 42nd Annual Blessing of the Fleet
Josephine Mattingly never knew her
grandmother, Josephine McWilliams Free-
man. It was part of the family lore that
grandmother was born, raised and died on
St. Clements Island and had been the keeper
of the Blackistone Lighthouse. Josephine
Mattinglys mother, Emily, was also born
there and had married William F. Herbert of
Dynard, a small country village in the sev-
enth district of St. Marys County where they
raised their family. Emily had always told
of the life of her family living on the island
where Maryland was founded. It was a tale
that would haunt young Josephine the rest of
her life and the love and respect for her grand-
mother would never cease.
Dr. Joseph McWilliams owned the
island in 1850 where the Blackistone light-
house is now located. The McWilliams men
had been keepers of the light until 1875 when
the doctor turned the job over to his daughter,
Josephine. She had married William Mitchell
Billie Freeman in 1871 and they took up
residence in the lighthouse. Dr. McWilliams
delivered six children born to Josephine and
Billie, with Emily arriving in 1880. Emily,
her sister and her two brothers were raised in
the lighthouse and helped their parents fuel
the lamp and ring the bell in the fog along
with the many other chores required of a fam-
ily living on an island. Mrs. Freeman died
unexpectedly in 1912.
Josephine Herbert was born in 1910
and was named for Josephine, the lighthouse
keeper. She would hear the tales of living on
St. Clements Island, of tending the light and
ringing the bell as done by her grandmother
for so many years. She would never forget her
mothers stories. It seemed so wonderful that
a woman could perform such an important
job; and it was her grandmother.
Josephine Herbert married Dan Mat-
tingly in 1934 and lived just a few miles from
the lighthouse of her mothers birthplace.
They had no children.
In 1956 the lighthouse burned; set by
arsonists. She had always hoped for a restora-
tion of the building, but now it was hopeless.
Only old photographs of the building and a
few bricks remained.
Josephine became a true servant to the
civic organizations of the seventh district,
joining and working many hours with her
family and friends. The old lighthouse and
the grandmother she adored were always on
her mind.
She had been asked to join the St.
Clements Hundred whose objective was to
recognize St. Clements Island and its place
in Maryland history and she became a charter
member of the new group.
As Josephine grew older, she decided to
leave $5,000 in her will to the St. Clements
Hundred. She told Dick Gass, Jim Banagan
and Bobbie Mcwilliams of the intended gift
and expressed her great hope of rebuilding
the Blackistone Lighthouse.
After her death in 1999, Bobbie McWil-
liams, the executerof her estate, presented the
$5,000 check to Dick Gass, the president of
the St. Clements Hundred. Slowly, the pro-
cess began, which everyone thought to be
impossible, except Josephine.
Today it is done and we at the 42nd
Blessing of the Fleet salute the wonderful
lady who had the dream. It has been an in-
spiration to this writer and indeed to all the
people of the Seventh District. What has been
accomplished on our island in rebuilding the
Blackistone Lighthouse is truly incredible.
Viva la Josephine!

The Southern Maryland Information
Center, a group of law enforcement agencies
in the tri-county area that gathers intelligence
on potential criminal activities that could cross
regional borders, may be getting a boost in the
amount of information it has access to, says St.
Marys County Sheriff Timothy K. Cameron.
Cameron said that the group might take
advantage of a recent offer by the Department
of Homeland Security to access some of its
classifed military intelligence databases, spe-
cifcally related to terrorism.
The federal homeland security entity made
the announcement last week about the rogram
as a way for local and state jurisdictions to fght
potential terrorist threats, according to a press
release.
This initiative refects the federal govern-
ments strong commitment to improve infor-
mation sharing with out state, local, and tribal
partners, stated Bart Johnson, acting under-
secretary for Intelligence and Analysis. Fu-
sion centers are a critical part of our national
security enterprise, and this new tool enables
federal agencies to share information with
these partners while utilizing our advanced
technical capabilities for secure information
sharing.
Cameron said the cooperative would look
into how much SMIC could delve into the
fles.
Well take a look at it and see what well
qualify to search, Cameron told The County
Times. Some we might be granted access to,
some we might not.
The information from the databases
could be valuable, Cameron said, if local de-
tectives developed a suspect in a crime and
could check if that person had a military crime
record or committed an offense on or near an
installation.
The cooperation could also help identify
terrorism suspects, he said.
They might come back on a watch
list, Cameron said. It just becomes another
searchable database it has the potential to
gain more data on a criminal target.

Two men, each accused of distributing
cocaine and marijuana respectively, took pleas
Wednesday in Circuit Court, admitting to the
crimes.
Robert Sylvester Hill pleaded guilty to
distributing and possessing crack cocaine
in January this year after he was arrested
by county narcotics offcers working a sting
operation.
According to States Attorney Richard
Fritz, a confdential informant working with
vice/narcotics detectives contacted Hill to set
up a meeting to buy a small quantity of crack
cocaine, just 1.7 grams, for $80. After the buy,
technicians with the Maryland State Police
confrmed the substance was an illegal nar-
cotic, Fritz said.
Hill was also later found to be in posses-
sion of another quantity of crack cocaine, just
0.7 grams that a confdential informant paid
$50 for.
Judge C. Clarke Raley handed down a
four-year sentence in the state Department of
Corrections against Hill for the distribution
charge but gave him credit for 122 days served
in the county detention center and closed out
his possession charge.
Raley said that if Hill also paid a $3,000
fne, he would reconsider Hills prison
sentence.
I really was just a user, Hill said of his
being caught dealing drugs. I learned a valu-
able lesson you wont catch me doing some-
thing like this again.
John Edward Nunley Jr. also pleaded
guilty to distribution of marijuana. He was
caught after selling $40 worth of the drug to a
confdential informant working with narcotics
detectives whom he believed to be his friend.
Nunley got an 18-month sentence for
distribution, but an $1,800 fne paid up by the
end of the court proceedings got him out of
that sentence, according to his lawyer Daniel
Slade.
Nunley sold just 5.7 grams of marijuana,
according to Fritz.
Raley said that defendants like Hill and
Nunley who were caught dealing often suf-
fered from an addiction themselves.
With these small bore dealers, theyre
also users, Raley said. Its enormously pa-
thetic because these people could be regular
citizens but theyre not.
Two Take Pleas To Separate
Cocaine, Marijuana Charges
On Sept. 17, 2009, deputies responded to
a 911 hang up at a residence on Dee Court in
Great Mills. Upon arrival, deputies contacted
Meoisha Saundra Burrage, 25, of Great Mills,
who initially refused to allow deputies into the
residence. Deputies entered the residence and
found a second person, believed to be a victim,
with a cut below the eye and a knot on their
forehead.
Further investigation revealed Burrage
and the victim got into an argument which
turned into a physical assault when Burrage al-
legedly struck the victim. Burrage was arrested
and charged with second degree assault.

This is just wonderful because its another item that will help us with tourism, its
another item that will demonstrate that we are the mother county. Were also the place where
religious toleration was brought to America, where the concept of the separation of church
and state was brought to America the St. Marys County Sheriffs department is, I believe,
the oldest in the state of Maryland, so its pretty signifcant that the governor back then had the
sheriff lock the door and we had our sheriff unlock it in the present day. I thought that was a
nice touch.
County Commissioner Dan Raley
By Andrea Shiell
Staff Writer
Sunday held a special significance
for St. Marys County residents and
history enthusiasts alike, as Sheriff
Timothy Cameron participated in the
ceremonial unlocking of the newly re-
constructed Catholic brick chapel in
historic St. Marys City.
The story began in 1634, when near-
ly 150 English settlers arrived aboard
the Arc and the Dove on the shores
of what is now St. Marys County. In
1644 colonists created laws that made
them the first English-speaking colony
to recognize each individuals right to
freedom of religion, but that freedom
was short lived.
As Puritans settled in the new
world to escape persecution in Eng-
land, Catholics and Protestants lived in
tense harmony in St. Marys City un-
til 1654, when Anglicans took control
of the government and England sent a
new governor to Maryland to enforce
restrictive taxes and laws against the
open exercise of Catholicism in the
colonies.
In 1704 two priests were summoned
before Gov. John Seymour for the of-
fense of saying Mass. The minutes of
the convened council stated: The
members of this board, taking under
their consideration that such use of the
popish chapel of the city of St. Marys,
where there is a Protestant church, and
said county court is kept, is both scan-
dalous and offensive to the government,
do advise and desire his Excellency the
governor to give immediate orders for
the shutting up the said popish chapel,
and that no person presume to make use
thereof under any pretence whatever.
After the chapel was locked, the
Jesuits continued to use a domestic
residence for Catholic worship in the
area, and in the 1720s the chapel was
torn down and its bricks were taken and
used in other buildings in St. Inigoes.
Weve found matches to these
bricks in St. Inigoes used in three dif-
ferent buildings, said Silas Hurry, Cu-
rator for Historic St. Marys City. And
they were very thorough. As best as we
can tell, they took about 95 percent of
the building material away.
Hurry said that the design of the re-
construction had been pieced together
from years of excavation and research,
beginning in 1938 when Dr. Henry
Chandlee Forman found remnants of
the building, measured the site and
backfilled it.
In 1983 we returned to the site to
relocate it on the land and begin the re-
search project, said Hurry, adding that
from 1988 to 1992 the researchers in-
tensively excavated the area, unearth-
ing clues as to how the building was put
together.
Henry Miller, Director of Research
for Historic St Marys City, said that af-
ter nearly three decades, he was happy
to see the chapel nearing completion.
We have the interior elements to
do, which well be working on over the
next couple of years, but this building,
rising again from the foundations that
we discovered under this site, is really
a dream that many of you have shared
over the last couple of decades, he
said. It represents the beginnings of
religious freedom in America.
Washington Archbishop Donald W.
Wuerl added his own comments at the
days ceremony.
We have grown up in a country that
recognizes our freedoms our freedom
of religious expression, our freedom of
conscience, our freedom of worship,
he said. In 1704 those who didnt share
that vision, those who werent commit-
ted to that ideal, closed this building, so
here we are three centuries later. What
were celebrating is the fact that there
are such things as inalienable rights,
and sometimes it may take three centu-
ries to have them recognized, but those
rights do prevail.
Sheriff Cameron smiled after open-
ing up the doors to the chapel, saying,
Im standing on the same ground
as my predecessor and he locked it,
and today I unlocked it. But this is cer-
tainly a monument to liberty and free-
dom of religion, so this is certainly the
pinnacle of anything Ive done in my
career.

Healthy Bites
Healthy Bites
By JIM ROMANOFF
For The Associated Press
Soup as a main course is a great way to ll up
on low-calorie vegetables and liquid, leaving you
satised without
feeling stuffed.
Choosi ng
the right soup is
the trick. Canned
soups can throw
a few nutritional
curveballs into
this healthy eat-
ing plan. Theyre
usually loaded
with sodium,
and creamy
soups can pack
plenty of un-
wanted fat.
To make
your own broth-
based soup, be
sure to start with
a reduced-so-
dium broth, then add plenty of lling vegetables
and beans.
For creamy but low-fat soups, consider
starting with a base of pureed vegetables.
Pumpkins and sweet potatoes can be roasted
to intensify the avors, then run through a
food mill, blender or food processor.
Beans, pureed with a bit of broth or wa-
ter, also make a velvety, avorful soup base.
Use convenient canned beans, but be sure to
rinse them under cold water to wash away
some of the salt that is in the canning liquid.
Even tofu (the soft or silken variety)
can be pureed to create a smooth and pro-
tein-rich foundation on which you can build
a creamy soup with little fat and no dairy.
This Scandinavian-style toasted barley
soup with Swedish meatballs is lled with
vegetables and whole grains, and takes less
than 30 minutes to prepare. Toasting the
quick-cooking barley gives it a nutty avor
that becomes central to this soup.
To complete the meal, serve this soup
with a salad of spicy greens and crusty
whole-grain bread.

Looking to get dinner on the table
fast? Put it on a stick.
Cutting meats and vegetables into
smaller bits, then threading them onto
skewers can dramatically reduce cooking
time because there is no thick center for the
heat to reach. A pound of chicken breasts
left whole will take far longer to cook
than the same amount of meat cubed and
skewered.
The texture of the
meat also benets. Be-
cause cooking time is
less, the meat (espe-
cially pork and chick-
en) have less time to
dry out.
In this recipe for
pork satay, boneless
country-style ribs are
cut into chunks and
given a quick marinade
before landing on the
grill. They also could
be cooked on a grill pan
or under the broiler.
An easy apple
chutney can be made
to accompany the pork.
Or to save even more
time, skip that part of
the recipe and use pur-
chased mango chutney.
For the pork:
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup canola oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
Pinch nutmeg
1 1/4 pounds country-style pork ribs, cut into
1/2-inch chunks
For the sauce:
1 large yellow onion, cut into quarters
2 tablespoons pickled jalapeno pepper slices
3/4 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro leaves
3/4 cup (about 4 ounces) dried apricots
2 medium apples, peeled, cored and
chopped
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
1/3 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup water
Place 10 wooden skewers in a shallow
bowl of water to soak.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the
vinegar, oil, garlic, salt, pepper, ginger and
nutmeg. Add the pork, toss to coat, then set
aside.
Meanwhile, in a food processor combine
the onion, jalapeno slices, cilantro and dried
apricots. Pulse until just chopped. Transfer to
a medium saucepan over medium-high. Stir
in the apples, cloves, ginger, vinegar, brown
sugar, salt, black pepper and water.
Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring
often, until the liquid is mostly evaporated,
about 12 minutes. Set aside.
Heat a grill to medium-high. Coat the
grates with oil.
While the chutney cools, thread chunks
of pork onto each skewer. Grill, turning for
even cooking, until the pork reaches 160 F at
the center, about 5 minutes. Serve the pork
skewers with the chutney.

Contributing Writer
Our usually quiet village was thrown
into excitement on Friday morning last by
the announcement that John D. Reintzell, an
old and well known citizen here, had been
drowned in the Bay, immediately below the
Sheep-Pen woods. At rst it was conjecture
that the drowning had been accidental, but
subsequent developments proved that the un-
fortunate man had committed suicide. His
hat and coat were left by him upon the bank
over the place where his body was found,
and two notes were discovered in the inside
pocket of his coat explaining the causes which
impelled him to the commission of the act.
Friday, June 1879. The nder will
please have it published that I, the under-
signed, am determined to get rid of my trou-
bles. My children must forgive me. I hope
God will forgive all that have treated me
wrong. J. D. Reintzell.
The second note read: I have got tired
of working for the rough living I get for it. I
have been cheated out of my labor, and many
who will see this know it. I want to be bur-
ied in [the] ground beside my rst wife. Nat
Gordon put award [a word] on it for me. I
am to my friends a particular well-wisher, but
I think I had few. William Armsworthy is in
great trouble now. I have just left him. Poor
man, I hope it will be better for him. Good-
bye, my friend. God bless you. Give my love
to [those] you know ought to have it. I hope
this will be a warning to all those who have
poor men at work for them to treat them right.
I have been treated very rough. I dont wish
an inquest; the county is too poor to pay for
one. I am tired of writing. J. D. Reintzell.
The most remarkable thing connected
with it was the deliberateness and determi-
nation which possessed the mind of the sui-
cide. The water was not over six inches deep
where he was drowned and it was necessary
to conne his head under a log, which pro-
jected from the shore, in order to accomplish
his purpose. He was found in this situation.
The deceased was a member of the Episcopal
church and was about 65 years of age. He
was born in Georgetown, D.C. and came to
this county about 30 years ago, where he has
since lived, following the trade of a plasterer.
On Thursday and before, he was en-
gaged in a job of calcimining the bar-room of
Fenwicks Hotel, but not knowing much about
such work, made a failure of it, which, it is
thought, worked upon his sensitive nature and
partly caused him to commit the act. He had
been in a melancholy mood of late, but no one
ever detected any derangement of his mind. He
was last seen on the morning of Friday, about 5
oclock by Mr. Armsworthy, the county jailor, at
whose house he called on his way to the shore.
Mr. Armsworthy noticed nothing pecu-
liar in his manner or actions, and when leav-
ing, the deceased told him that he would call
again later in the day if he did not go to work.
It is supposed that he committed suicide a short
time after leaving Mr. Armsworthys house.
(St. Marys Beacon, June 19, 1879).
Some of John Reintzells descendants have
assumed he was married to Natalie Gordon, but
I disagree. In my opinion, Reintzells directions
regarding his burial read: I want to be buried in
THE ground beside my rst wife.
The next sentence should have read: Nat
Gordon, put a WORD on it for me. Nathaniel
Gordon, farm laborer, was listed on the 1870
census of St. Marys County. He probably in-
scribed tombstones as a side business.
John Reintzell was married three times--
Eliza Chick whom he married in Washington
on May 10, 1837; Violetta Armstrong, January
22, 1861; and Elizabeth Dean (widow of Rich-
ard Dick), January 15, 1866.
John Reintzell was a descendant of Jo-
hannes Valentine Reintzell, a German who
arrived in Philadelphia in 1738 aboard the ship
Friendship. About 1767, Reintzell moved his
family to Georgetown from Berks County, PA.
The Reintzell men were Masons. As
members of the Georgetown Lodge, the three
Reintzell brothers (John, Anthony, and Valen-
tine) took part in the laying of the cornerstone
of the White House on October 13, 1792. After-
wards 16 toasts were drunk including to the
15 United States, to the President of the United
States, to the fair daughters of America, and to
the memory of those who bled in the cause of
liberty.
Valentine Reintzell also assisted George
Washington in laying the cornerstone of the
U.S. Capitol on September 18, 1793. After the
ceremony, the participants feasted on a roasted
oxen weighing 500 pounds. Washington handed
the gavel that he had used to Worshipful Master
Reintzel. The gavel is kept in the vault of Riggs
Bank on Wisconsin Avenue.

AP Movie Critic
The exclamation point
in the title is your rst clue
that Steven Soderberghs
intentions are more than
a little askew with The
Informant!
Then you notice Matt
Damons helmet of hair, his pouf of a mustache, his corny sports-
wear and the paunch where the Bourne trilogy
stars taut abs used to be. And once the strains of
Marvin Hamlischs jaunty score begin an ideal
accompaniment to the faded,70s-style cinema-
tography you know youre in some vividly retro,
comic parallel universe.
The Informant! is about a serious, real-life
subject a whistle-blower who spied for the FBI
to expose corporate corruption only Soderbergh,
directing a script by Scott Z. Burns, approaches
it in the gooest way, rather than as a serious
drama like The Insider or even his own Erin
Brokovich.
Its a kick, really, but it also keeps you guess-
ing: Is Damon, as Mark Whitacre, just a regular
guy who gets in over his head? Is he far more
scheming and malevolent than his folksy Midwest-
ern demeanor would suggest? Or is something else
entirely going on here?
Damon doesnt just dig into the role physical-
ly. He also keeps you on your toes with Whitacres
happy-go-lucky personality, a misplaced con-
dence that buoys him regardless of the situation,
coupled with a surprisingly high comfort level
for duplicity. Its a welcome opportunity to watch
him show off his comedic abilities; come to think
of it, Soderbergh, with his Oceans movies, is
one of the few directors who would give him that
chance.
One of the neatest tricks that throws us off
course is Whitacres running interior monologue:
a series of voiceovers in which he provides stream-
of-consciousness musings on everything from in-
door pools to Brioni ties to the Japanese word for
tuna. His thoughts may not be as innocuous as
they seem.
Based on the book by former New York Times writer Kurt
Eichenwald, The Informant! follows Whitacres misadventures
as he agrees to wear a wire to expose a price-xing scheme at Ar-
cher Daniels Midland, the Illinois-based agribusiness conglom-
erate where hes an executive. Actually, agrees doesnt even
begin to describe his reaction. Hes more like a giddy little boy
playing Agent 007 or 0014, as he describes himself, because he
thinks hes twice as smart.
Hes totally convinced himself that hes on a mission, that
hes doing the right thing for the greater good. At the same time,
he tries to maintain the facade of living an idyllic, upper-middle
class life with his perfectly coifed wife, Ginger (Melanie Lyns-
key), who always serves a proper dinner in the dining room for
Whitacre and their children.
But as his ineptitude evolves into unreliability and eventu-
ally desperation, he becomes more trouble than help to agents
Brian Shepard (Scott Bakula) and Bob Herndon (Joel McHale).
The deeper Whitacre gets, the more damage he does to the in-
vestigation all of which Soderbergh plays for deadpan laughs,
which makes it all the more absurd.
One question lingers, though: What does his wife know and
when does she know it? Ginger is the weak link here, her docile,
doting presence making us wonder whether shes aware of her
husbands true nature, having been with him since childhood.
Some insight would have been helpful, could have eshed
things out. But the joke might just be on her, as it is on us.
The Informant! is a Warner Bros. release and is rated R for
language. Run time 108 minutes. Three stars out of four.

Te Jokes On Us
With Te Informant!
24
By Andrea Shiell
Staff Writer
Matt Garrett, 24, is known
for straddling the line between
Calvert and St. Marys with his
acoustic sets, and juggling his
duties as both a musician and
a sound tech for his produc-
tion company, Meerkat Sound,
which he owns with friends
Matt Vivlamore and Justin
Myles.
And its
easy to hear his
sound exper-
tise as he plays,
sending clear
chords splic-
ing the air of
whichever ven-
ue hes at.
I was
about 12 when
I rst started
learning guitar
but had always
been interested
and took piano
lessons from
age 6 till I was
about 10, he
told the County
Times, add-
ing that the
rst song he
learned to play
was Creedence
C l e a r w a t e r
Revivals Bad
Moon Rising.
Matt said
he got his start
playing in con-
cert, jazz and
marching band
during his tenure at Great Mills
High School, during which
time he hooked up with the
band Anomoly, for which he
sang and played lead guitar for
nine and a half years. Since the
band split up in March 2008,
Matt said hes been jamming
acoustically at venues and open
mic nights in the area.
Bringing with him some
of his rock, reggae and alter-
native inuences, Matts stage
show might best be described
as a mishmash of old and new,
as he combines the likes of Tom
Petty, Matchbox 20, Train, and
even covers of Rihanna mixed
in.
Drummer Rosemarie
Stanek joins him most often, but
he could perform with friends
Justin Myles, Mark Martinez
or Vince Lawson on any given
night.
Matt told the County Times
that he stays busy behind the
scenes as well with his produc-
tion company, Meerkat Sound,
which specializes in providing
live sound and lighting effects.
We have 2 complete sys-
tems, so when Im not playing
you can usually nd me run-
ning sound and lights for other
bands, he wrote in an e-mail.
I was always interested in
sound but didnt have time to
pursue it while I was playing
with Anomaly, so when that
ended, I teamed up with Matt
and Justin and Meerkat Sound
was born.
As a nuclear welder work-
ing at Calvert Cliffs by day,
Matt wrote that hes working on
a solo album and still working
sound and lights for other bands
in his spare time.
Any other time though,
hell be onstage with his guitar.
Matt Garrett will be per-
forming next on Oct. 2 at
Cheeseburger In Paradise from
8 p.m. until midnight, and Oct.
3 at Calypso Bay on Solomons
Island from 9 p.m. until 1 a.m.

Fact

The fortune cookie was invented in 1916
by George Jung, a Los Angeles noodlemaker.
By Shelby Oppermann
Contributing Writer
Do you dream in black and white, in color, or
not at all? I am a dreamer of colors; lots of them.
My Mother claimed she dreamt in black and white.
She was color blind, maybe that had something to
do with it. We knew this for sure when she start-
ed wearing red with purple. This was long before
we heard about the poem titled Warning: When
I am an old woman, I shall wear purple with a red
hat that doesnt go and doesnt suit me by Jenny
Joseph. My Mother could have been a founding
member of the Red Hat Society. Her work ward-
robe always consisted of black, brown, navy blue
and neutrals, but out with the family she looked
electric sometimes on purpose.
My husband says he rarely dreams. I know
thats not true when I hear him laughing or yell-
ing things, like I hear ya. County softball play-
ers know why this scares me so. Occasionally, he
will relate to me a dream he has had that is un-
usual or interesting.
Does music come with your dreams? I nor-
mally have a running song that plays through my
head from the time I go to sleep until the time I
wake up, and sometimes all through the day. It
could be anything, and sometimes I have no idea
where the song came from. My back ground
music right now is Let me be myself by Three
Doors Down. You dont know it? If you have
seen the insurance commercials with the cave-
men then you know it. Once in awhile an un-
known melody will come in my head, and I end
up putting words to it. Ive never found words for
the heavy metal tune from years ago, but it still
plays in my head.
I wonder how other people dream quite often.
I know, you wonder how I t this in my head with
all of the other useless trivia and thoughts when
there is important stuff going on in the world to
think about. This must be how I crowd the bad
thoughts out. Mindless dribble. Great inventions
have been thought up through dreams, amongst
other things. Psychologists might say that our
dreams are how we process everything that hap-
pens to us during the day or during the week. It
just might not be in the order that it occurred.
That is why if you have been to the aquarium
and seen your granddaughters dance recital- you
might dream about a shark in a tutu. This must be
how creators of cartoons get their ideas.
I love watching dogs dreaming with their
little paws moving a mile a minute, and mufed
barks escaping from them. Everyone always
seems to ask when watching, I wonder what
dogs dream about. Probably breaking free, chas-
ing deer across wide open expanses of land, hold-
ing their ground against cats or intruders. Do cats
do the same thing? I have not seen our cat move
while dreaming. I know I move when I have
those falling dreams. That does seem to be a
common dream to lots of folks.
I wish I could remember my dreams better. I
once completed a short story and read it in front
of an audience at St. Marys College in a dream.
Everyone in the dream enjoyed it. Who are all
these people in my dreams? ! Of course, I could
not recall the end of the story while awake. I have
entire fast-paced exciting movies that play out in
a dream. If I could recall these I would send them
in as screenplays for TV movies. The one about
the maa was particularly disturbing. I still can
not get one scene out of my head. I wont go into
the details. It was nothing I had ever seen before.
The dreams, I guess, that stay with me the
longest are those where the long dead speak to
you, or where the house I grew up in is different
than in reality. That is why I am writing this now.
Last night, I dreamt of our old house in Clinton.
In my dreams, there are always secret rooms. A
psychologist could have a eld day with me. A
walk-in closet upstairs opens up into a large bare
wood room lled with lots of treasures. The 40
ft enclosed back porch on the house I grew up in,
which is reached by two bedroom doors, also be-
comes a large secret room. They are recurring
dreams that seem so real. As I slowly wake up, it
is hard to separate whether those rooms are real
or not. I always want to go back and explore the
rooms more.
The hardest dreams to shake are when one of
my parents speak to me, and the dream is com-
pletely real. These hurt the most, because I wake
up and think the parent who spoke to me is still
alive. I have only had a few of these dreams,
but that is enough. One sentence or a couple of
meaningful words are all that is said. My Father
will be sitting in a chair in the old house, or once
on a beach, and say something profound just as I
need it. My Mother often said that the dead speak
to you in your dreams. Shes normally yelling
at me in my dreams, but not everything can be
profound.
Someday, with all the amazing inventions of

All About Pencils
By Theresa Morr
Contributing Writer
Is there lead in a lead pencil?
Why is a pencil called a pencil? And
why do most pencils come in yellow?
Do you know the answers to those
questions?
Well, guess what? That simple
little writing tool you use at school
and at home goes way back in history
to Ancient Greek and Roman times.
Then, scribes used lead for writing
on papyrus (early paper) by shaping
the metal into a sharp pointed instru-
ment called a stylus. But this method
didnt work very well. The metal
was soft and the light markings were
pretty hard to read.
Early pencils. Todays pencil
had its beginnings in the mid-1500s
in England. Thats when graphite,
a form of carbon, was discovered.
People called it black lead because
it was brittle and easily broken, but
pencil-makers devised some really
cool ways to keep the graphite in one
piece.
They wrapped the graphite in
sheepskin or in string, while others
stuffed it into hollow twigs or reeds
to keep it whole. Just imagine doing
your homework that way! Eventu-
ally, a way was found to make black
lead strong by crushing low-grade
graphite, mixing it with clay, and
then forming it into strands and bak-
ing it.
Mellow yellows. For nearly 300
years, most pencils were made in
England, until the graphite mines
were used up. But in the mid-1800s
new mines were discovered in Sibe-
ria, near the Chinese border. Since
the color yellow was associated with
royalty and respect in China, pen-
cil-makers began painting pencils
yellow to communicate that feeling.
Thats why nearly 75 percent of pen-
cils made in the United States are
painted yellow.
Pencil power. You can sharpen
your pencil about 17 times and write
about 45,000 words with it. Thats
like drawing a straight line 35 miles
long. And in case youre wondering,
the word pencil comes from the
Latin penicillus, meaning a paint-
ers brush.
Most pencils have numbers on
them indicating hardness of the pen-
cil core. For instance, a No. 3 pencil
makes a lighter mark because less
graphite comes off onto your paper.
A No. 2, the most popular pencil for
everyday use, has more graphite and
makes a darker mark.
Some pencils have both letters
and numbers to indicate hardness.
H is equivalent to a No. 3 and HB
is the same as a No. 2 pencil.
Producing pencils. The best
pencils are made from Califor-
nia incense-cedar logs, which are
rst cut into pencil blocks. These
blocks are cut into pencil slats and
treated with wax and stain. Grooves
are cut into the slats so the writing
core (a mixture of graphite and clay,
formed into ropes and baked), can
be inserted. Another grooved slat
is glued onto the rst slat making a
sandwich. The sandwich is then cut
into individual pencils, sanded and
painted. Finally, a groove is cut at
the end of the pencil and a metal ring
called a ferrule, along with an eraser,
is crimped onto the end. Now youre
ready to write on!
To see how cedar pencils are
made, check out www.pencilpages.
com/articles/make.htm.
Eraser tidbits.
The rst erasers were made from soft
leather and breadcrumbs.
In 1770, English chemist Joseph
Priestly discovered Indian
gum was an excellent
eraser.
Erasers were rst
attached to
pencils in
1858.
Most pencils
sold in Europe
dont have erasers.
Erasers today are
usually made from syn-
thetic rubber mixed with
gritty pumice or from vinyl.

Question
Interview
Interviewing: Heather
Geiselbrecht
Heather Geiselbrecht, 36, said shes lived in Holly-
wood with her husband Mike for ve years and works
part time at the Good Earth Natural Foods Store in
Leonardtown. She took some time to share what
makes her tick.
CT: Whats your favorite part of working at The Good
Earth?
HG: I would have to say that the customers are awe-
some. They really are, and everything is different.
Sometimes people have food questions and some-
times they have supplement questions, so it gives
you a lot of learning opportunities, too, because you
have to do a lot of research for them to eat healthier,
and in return I end up eating healthier.
CT: What sorts of things have you researched to
help customers?
HG: Ive had to look up things for menopause,
things to help boost the immune system and ght
colds, food allergies or different problems that peo-
ple have, like if theyre allergic to wheat or allergic to
soy. Its just always a learning experience.
CT: What do you do when you arent working here?
HG: My hobbies include belly dancing, which Ive
been doing for 10 years. Im with a local troupe,
troupe Hipnotic, and we dance in Baltimore and
D.C. My mom actually was a belly dancer, and so at
the age of 11, I kind of picked up a little bit with her.
And later when I moved down here Im originally
from Maine I was introduced to somebody who
knew of a teacher and thats how I started.

We will celebrate service to the poor, and encourage

LODGE # 2092
By Andrea Shiell
Staff Writer
Wayne Mast seemed to be in his element on Tuesday morning,
anked by his black Labradors as he moved from his sign and engrav-
ing shop at Suttler Post Farm in Mechanicsville to his stables, where his
prided Clydesdales named Doc, Ted, Ben, Silver, Gunner, Roy and Pappy
poked their heads out to greet him.
Wayne Masts geldings have been a common sight at county events
for several years, but they became famous earlier this month after winning
top honors in ve contests held at the Maryland State Fair at the Timo-
nium Fairgrounds in Baltimore County, including the cart class contest,
the two-horse team hitch, the three-horse hitch, and the four-horse hitch
and six-horse hitch.
We won all of those, he said, explaining that he had entered his
horses in other fairs before, but never with these results.
This one we did really good at, last week we didnt do as
good, he said, explaining that the horses had also competed
in the Great Frederick Fair in Southern Maryland a few days
ago.
The next stop for Masts beloved geldings will be
the St. Marys County Fair, where he said they would
be on display from Thursday to Sunday. After that he
said they would be at the annual Blessing of the Fleet at
Coltons Point on Oct. 3 and 4, followed by the Christmas
Tree Lighting on Dec. 12 in Leonardtown.
As a breed Clydesdales were derived from the farm horses
of Clydesdale, Scotland, and bred to pull heavy loads in rural,
industrial and urban settings. They were rst shipped to North
America in 1840 and used as beasts of labor until the develop-
ment of tractors took their place on farms.
The 1975 the Rare Breeds Survival Trust listed Clydesdales
as a vulnerable breed, but theyve seen a resurgence in popularity in
recent years and have since been placed on the more favorable at risk
list of breeds.
The breed was made famous in 1933 when the Budweiser Clydes-
dales were rst introduced to the public to celebrate the repeal of prohibi-
tion. Modern lore has it that August Busch Jr. surprised his father, August
Anheuser Busch Sr. with his rst Clydesdale, which carried the very rst
case of post-prohibition beer in a red, white and gold beer wagon from the
St. Louis brewery down Pestalozzi Street.
Mast said he started raising Clydesdales about nine years ago.
I bought one at auction and now I have seven, he said. Still every-
one thinks theyre Budweiser horses, but Budweiser doesnt own all the
Clydesdales in the world, he said, laughing.

SPECIAL-

By Joany Nazdin
Contributing Writer
The Golden Beach and Patuxent Knolls
Civic Association sponsored its second an-
nual shing tournament for kids Sunday at
Long Point Beach.
More than 40 kids, along with their
families, came out to have fun and try to win
one of the seven trophies up for grabs that
day.
Ronnie Gale, one of the organizers of
the event, said that one of the reasons that
the shing tournament is held is because the
community is always searching for ways to
keep kids out of trouble, and also as a way to
get families together.
Everybody here at Golden Beach is
always glad to be a part of something like
this, Gale said. People here at the beach
will go out of their way to do nice things for
the community.
Along with hot dogs, chips, sodas and
cup cakes, the kids were provided with
bait. There were volunteers present to place
that bait on the hook for the ones who may
be slightly squeamish around fat, wriggly
worms. Volunteers also lent rods to kids who
didnt have them.
During the afternoon, the kids caught
perch, catsh, spot and rocksh. Trophies
were given out in seven different age catego-
ries, from 4-16, and for things such as most
sh and largest sh. Every child who partici-
pated was able to get a certicate.
Tyler Gardiner, 12, was the proud sh-
erman who caught the biggest sh that day.
Tyler received his trophy for reeling in a 21-
and-a-half-inch catsh.
It was the biggest sh I ever caught,
Tyler said.
McKayla Barrett, 8, got her trophy for
catching the most sh. McKayla caught six
sh.
Kyle Segretti, 7, was the winner in his
age group for his large sh that he caught.
Jayden Fredrick didnt win any trophies,
but he was glad to be able to spend the day
with his grandfather, Ron Threatt.
It was an event that I was proud to be a
part of, Gale said. Everybody that lives here
always does so much for their community.
Elks Host Elvis Night for Wounded Warriors
By Andrea Shiell
Staff Writer
Saturday saw a lively crowd of Elvis
fans at the St. Marys County Elks Lodge
off Chancellors Run Road, where there
was a50s dinner and dance featuring Elvis
impersonator Richard Ernst, who works as
an IT specialist for trade associations in the
Washington area by day and becomes the
King by night.
Making his Elvis debut in New Orleans
in 1996, Ernst has since become a household
name on the impersonating circuit, having
placed in the top ten at several Elvis events,
including the Elvistival in Dewey Beach,
Del., the Reections of the King contest
in Buffalo, N.Y., and Lou Vutos Elvis con-
test in Pigeon Forge, Tenn.
Bill Crum, an Elks Lodge trustee and
a local contributor to the Wounded Warrior
Project, said he had spearheaded the nights
event and was very excited to see Ernst
perform.
Ernst performed two shows that eve-
ning, each lasting 45 minutes and combin-
ing music with comedy and dancing.
I never met the guy before in my
life, but Id talked to him on the phone,
and Id heard a lot about him over
the press that he was really, really
good, he said. But rst of all hes
doing two shows for the price of
one, which is really good because
when we told him this was for the
Wounded Warrior Project he gave
us a break and anybody thats
willing to pitch in for the Wounded
Warrior Project makes me happy.
The Elks Lodge elected to raise money
for the Wounded Warrior Project as its main
charity for the year, and is hosting monthly
events for the effort, which works nation-
ally to collect money, supplies, and reha-
bilitative services for wounded combatants
coming home from the wars in Iraq and
Afghanistan.
Upcoming events at the Elks Lodge
will include an Oktoberfest celebration
on Oct. 22, a 5K walk/run on Nov. 7, and
a charity ball and black tie dinner on Nov.
26.
Former Elks Lodge president John
Winters said that the lodge hopes to raise
$20,000 for the project. For more informa-
tion on the Wounded Warrior Project and
related events, go to www.woundedwarrior-

SPECIAL NOTE:

Fact
un
Bulgaria was the only soccer team in the 1994 World Cup in which
all 11 players last names ended with the letters OV.
By Ronald N. Guy Jr.
Contributing Writer
The debate began, for
me anyway, in January
1992 when the Washington
Redskins faced the Buffalo
Bills in Super Bowl XXVI.
Assuming my memory isnt
failing me, as its admittedly
doing more frequently these
days, I recall a very small
group of Native Americans
protesting at the game in
the freezing cold outside the
Minneapolis Metrodome.
It was the rst time I
can recall any sort of oppo-
sition to Washingtons pro-
fessional football teams use
of the nickname Redskins.
Though they seemed small
and insignicant against the
enormous backdrop of a Su-
per Bowl, they made their
point. I, and no doubt thou-
sands of other Skins fans,
left Super Bowl XXVI with
the joys of a third champion-
ship and the new knowledge
that the term Redskins was,
to many Native Americans,
a derogatory, racist term.
I dont pretend to un-
derstand all the legal wran-
gling thats occurred since
that group of Native Ameri-
cans rst led suit shortly
after Super Bowl XXVI.
To roughly frame the ar-
guments, those opposing
the nickname contend that
Redskins is too offensive
a term to warrant trademark
protection. Conversely, the
team and the NFL main-
tain, in an attempt to protect
their nancial interests, the
term is meant to praise and
honor Native Americans.
Over the last 17 years,
the legal pendulum has
swung back and forth. Re-
cent decisions have favored
the team with the courts
taking a legal out, if you
will, by ruling the plain-
tiffs waited too long to le
suit (the Redskins name
has been in existence since
1933). While the news in the
courtroom has been good
for the NFL, it has done
nothing to resolve the issue
in the court of public opin-
ion. In fact, by ruling in the
teams favor based on noth-
ing more than the latency of
the suit, the courts have in-
directly acknowledged that,
under a common mans ap-
proach to determining right
and wrong, the outcome
might be different.
Without question, its a
complex issue. I wont even
begin to muddy the waters
with what is going on in
other cities and with other
teams. One could go on and
on about whether Red-
skins is more offensive
than 60,000 Atlanta Braves
fans chanting and chopping
with foam tomahawks. To
simplify things, we can all
certainly agree that our lan-
guage contains words that
were acceptable in 1933 but
are now recognized as hate-
ful terms. Further, we all
can acknowledge that our
country, as great as it is, has
stains in its history, none
of which are so glaring as
how weve treated our fel-
low man. Slavery is rightly
recognized as Americas
greatest sin. Another sad
episode is the systematic
removal and displacement,
via the Trail of Tears, of the
continents Native inhabit-
ants, all in the name of the
countrys European set-
tlers pursuit of a perceived
manifest destiny. It was
a destiny realized in part
through slave labor and at
the great expense of Native
people. That should not be
forgotten or diminished in
any way. So if a group of
Native Americans, no mat-
ter how small, contends we
are doing just that through
something as insignicant
as the nickname of a foot-
ball team, then they deserve
our attention.
Absent a Supreme
Court ruling, the nal an-
swer may only come when
someone in the majority
decides to rise above what
is legally permitted and do
what is morally right. The
recent court rulings, by not
ruling anything, have indi-
rectly validated the basic
claim that Redskins is a
derogatory term and have
pointed the nger of respon-
sibility back at the team and
the NFL. The seeds of much
of our countrys notable so-
cial change and racial sen-
sitivity were planted when
an offended minority stead-
fastly trumpeting its cause.
The actual change though
often came only after the
offending majority thought
beyond itself and consid-
ered the world through the
lens of the offended minor-
ity. In this case, as an ad-
mitted Skins fans and, as
you can tell from my mug
shot, a pasty Caucasian, Im
rmly within the majority.
For what its worth, I think
its time for a name change.
It just feels like the right
thing to do.

BLEACHERS
A View From The
Its Not Whats P.C., Its What Feels Right
The Patuxent River Mens Rugby Football Club (Pax
River RFC) traveled to Warrenton, Va., on Sept. 19 for their
second match of the season. This was expected to be a tough
match for Pax River and it was. The Warrenton RFC nished
second in bracket play going into the playoff rounds at the end
of the fall 2008 season.
Pax River RFC traveled with 18 players and eight of those
players were new to the sport of rugby. Six of them would be
starters for this match, compared to last weeks home opener
where 28 players showed up for the match. The travel aspect
of club-side rugby can often make or break a clubs season.
It takes 15 players to compete in the match. A match is
composed of two 40-minute halves and a total of seven sub-
stitutes can be made. You do not have to use your subs, but by
the end of the second 40-minute half, it is nice to be able to put
in fresh legs where they are needed most.
This match was not to be Pax River RFC day. One of the
bright spots is that Pax Rivers defense kept Warrenton from
scoring until 10 minutes into each of the halves. Warrenton
was able to score 27 points in each of the two halves for a total
of 54 points. The other bright spot is PAX River had several
chances to put points on the scoreboard but could not nish
on the opportunities it created. One exception came 25 min-
utes into the second half; Pax River was awarded a penalty.
The referee blew his whistle and made his mark and while
the Warrenton defense was still organizing the ball was toed
through the mark. The ball was transferred to Flyhalf Jared
Clover who was able to score Paxs only try of the match.
Winger Nate Featherstone was able to convert the point after
conversion kick. This provide Pax River RFC with the only
points it would earn in the match, nal score Pax 7, Warrenton
54.
Pax Rivers next match is Saturday, Sept. 26 when they
will host Happy Valley RFC from State College, Pa. Kickoff
for the match is set for 1 p.m. at their home pitch at the end of
Clarks Landing Road.

Halama Returns To
Blue Crabs For Playoff Run
Southern Maryland Blue Crabs manag-
er Butch Hobson has announced that start-
ing pitcher John Halama has returned to the
Southern Maryland Blue Crabs for the 2009
Atlantic League Playoffs, after nishing the
season with the Gwinnett (GA) Braves of
the Triple-A International League.
Halama had his contract purchased
from the Blue Crabs on June 13 by the At-
lanta Braves, after making nine starts for
Southern Maryland this season with an
8-1 record as the most dominant starter in
the Atlantic League. Halama has Major
League experience in nine seasons from
1998 through 2006.
Halama was named the Atlantic
Leagues Pitcher of the Month this season
for games played in April and May. His
eight wins led the league at the time of his
departure, as did his 66.0 innings pitched.
The lefty earned a winning decision in his
rst seven starts of year, striking out 37 and
walking just 13. Halamas earned run aver-
age of 2.05 placed him second in the Atlan-
tic League as well.
With Gwinnett this season, Halama
appeared in 16 games, making 13 starts for
the Braves. Tossing 90.1 innings total for
Atlantas Triple-A club, he carried a 3.69
ERA 75.2 innings pitched as a starter. He
compiled 54 strikeouts opposed to 33 walks,
holding International League opponents to a
.267 batting average.
With a career Major League record of
56-48, Halama made his MLB debut with
the Houston Astros in 1998, going 1-1 in
six starts. Halama was then sent to the Se-
attle Mariners in October of that year, as the
player to be named later in the trade that
sent hurler Randy Johnson from Seattle to
Houston before the trade deadline earlier
that season. Halama would spend the next
four seasons on the Mariners roster, amass-
ing a 41-31 record in 130 appearances and 81
starts from 1999 through 2002.
Through free-agency, Halama would
go on to suit up in the big leagues for the
Oakland Athletics (2003), Tampa Bay Devil
Rays (2004), and the Boston Red Sox and
Washington Nationals in 2005. Halamas
most recent season in the Major Leagues
came in 2006, when he went 3-1 in 17 ap-
pearances and a start for the Baltimore Ori-
oles. Halama spent the 2007 season with the
Long Island Ducks in the Atlantic League
and made 26 starts, before transitioning to
the expansion Blue Crabs for 2008. After
sparkling in eight starts, going 4-1 with a
microscopic 1.91 ERA, Halama was inked
to a deal by the Cleveland Indians and as-
signed to the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons of the
International League. He would prove to be
just as dependable for Buffalo, notching 16
starts with an 8-6 record and two complete
games.
Halama has put together an impressive
133-97 record at all levels in his career. He
was originally drafted by Houston in 1994,
and made his professional debut that sum-
mer in their organization at Class A Auburn
in the New York-Penn League. The lefty has
492 strikeouts at the Major League level.

GREAT MILLS Even with a 3-0 victory over
Great Mills Monday night, avenging last seasons
heartbreaking 1-0 loss, the Leonardtown eld hockey
team isnt planning to look too far ahead.
One game
a time, said head
coach Vicki Lydon,
downplaying a po-
tential rst-place
showdown with de-
fending Southern
Maryland Athletic
Conference cham-
pion Patuxent.
You cant walk
into anyones house,
or even your own
house, and expect to
win because anyone
can beat you.
As it stands, no
one has beaten the
Raiders, who moved
to 4-0 after Mon-
days win. Katelyn
Blondino and Mar-
ney Erichsen teamed
up for two rst-half
goals to get the Raid-
ers started. Lau-
ren Brown added
a goal early in the
second half to keep
Leonardtown unbeaten and continue their theme of
teamwork.
I thought we played really well, getting every-
body to talk and working together as a team, Blon-
dino said.
It feels pretty good to beat them, it was devastat-
ing to lose to them last year, Erichsen added. We just
play together, work hard and have fun with it.
At the 14:15 mark of the rst half, Blondino took
a pass from Erichsen, and from about 20 yards out,
shot a low laser beam that zipped past Hornet goalie
Jess Michalek for the games rst score.
Less than six minutes later, Erichsen got on the
board and the Raiders cruised from there, earning a
big victory and taking a step forward in improving on
last years 10-2 regular season record.
The only two games we lost last year were to
Patuxent and Great Mills, and its a county rivalry,
so for the girls, its a big deal to get this win, Lydon
said.
While the Raiders were working hard, Great
Mills coach Michelle Richmond was not pleased with
the effort the Hornets, two-time 3A South champions,
put forward in this lost.
We have about four players that play at full
speed, Richmond said. Theres the coaches version
of playing hard and the players version. They dont
match up.
Lydon meanwhile is proud of her players, and be-
lieves they can do even better as they keep their eyes
on the immediate prize a conference championship.
We would like to have
SMAC, she said. Success for us is
that we ask the girls to give us 100
percent, and they do that.

LEONARDTOWN The defense for
Bud Light has always been there. Theyve
just been waiting for the offense to catch up.
A lot of games, weve lost 10-8, 9-8
because our offense has been our downfall,
said manager Mike Digulimio after Bud
Light bounced Division II Champion Back
Road Inn 15-7 Sunday afternoon, winning
their St. Marys County Womens Softball
League second round series two games to
none.
I think its getting better, he said.
Bud Light, which won the rst game 18-
14 at Chancellors Run Sept. 16, held Back
Road Inn at bay with their stellar defense un-
til their bats woke up in the latter
stages of the game.
We werent able to score
some runs in the rst four innings,
Back Road manager Jeff Gass said.
I think our girls hit the ball really
well, it just went right to the oppos-
ing players.
With Back Road struggling to
put runs on the board, Bud Light
broke through with a seven-run
fth inning, led by a two-run single
by shortstop Denise Butler, along
with three consecutive RBI singles
by Kristine Mattingly, Becky Ri-
vera and Brenda Wolcott to help
Bud Light open up a 12-0 lead.
Back Road Inn rallied with six
runs in the bottom half of the fth,
but could get no closer, has Bud
Light tacked on three more in the
top of the sixth to preserve their lead.
The season ended on a disappointing
note for Back Road Inn, who won a division
title for Gass, nishing up his 11th year man-
aging in the league.
We sat down at our rst meeting march
and decided that one of our goals was to win
a division championship, he said. The girls
really wanted to win that for me, and next
year, theyll set their sights even higher.
Meanwhile, Digulimio hopes that the
best is yet to come for Bud Light, as they are
now one step away from the league nals.
What Ive been telling the ladies is,
Lets peak during the playoffs, he says.
Were not there yet, but were awful close.

GREAT MILLS Injuries and illness
cant be predicted, but if you ask Great Mills
girls soccer coach Amy Herndon, the rash
of injuries that the Hornets are dealing with
couldnt come at a worse time.
Its tough because we came off of a
rough loss at Leonardtown, and its hard to
keep the condence and come back, Hern-
don said after the Hornets lost their second
consecutive game by a 6-0
count, this time courtesy of
Huntingtown High School
Monday night. We just had
kind of a rough night.
Already missing junior
Hope Ironmonger (illness)
going into the game, Great
Mills would lose Brittany
Sellers early in the contest
when she was accidentally
kneed in the thigh by a Hun-
tingtown player.
The Hurricanes, who
nished second in the South-
ern Maryland Athletic Con-
ference to Leonardtown last
season, took advantage of the
weakened Hornets, scoring three goals in
each half to pick up the win.
Herndon hopes to have Sellers, Iron-
monger and all Hornets present and ac-
counted for when they face McDonough and
Westlake, games the Hornets should win, if
they are healthy.
Were going to have to heal pretty
quickly, she said.

LEONARDTOWN A tie in sports
rarely happens, but most involved parties,
like St. Marys Ryken boys soccer coach
Russ Carrington, feel its better than a loss.
Losing can be so devastating, Car-
rington said after the Knights fought to a
2-2 deadlock with Washington Catholic
Athletic Conference opponent Bishop Mc-
Namara Tuesday afternoon. You just want
to hold on to the tie, and we did that. I think
they played well in spite of giving up two
soft goals.
Jereme Raley and Chris Lawrence
scored both goals for Ryken (3-4-2 on the
season), each of them tying the score after
the Mustangs had taken a lead.
I think we did good to come back and
get a tie, said Raley, who scored on a direct
kick 14 minutes into the rst half. We just
never give up, so I knew we were going to
tie it.
McNamara got on the board rst nine
minutes into the rst half when Matthew
Michaels soft kick got past Ryken goal-
keeper Anthony Varbero. After Raleys di-
rect kick tied the score at 1, it remained that
way until the second half, when Maxwell
Allegro slid a shot past Varbero to give the
Mustangs a short-lived 2-1 lead.
Less than two minutes later, the
Knights Nick Staufenberger hustled down
a ball and dropped a perfect pass down in
the corner and Lawrence booted the ball
past McNamara goalie Jorden Howard for
the tying goal.
The rst half, we just played kick-
ball, but in the second half we moved the
ball around a lot more and got some scoring
chances, Lawrence said.
I would say I was relieved, Car-
rington said of Lawrences timely score.
Except for a couple of games, weve been
in most games and played everyone pretty
tight.

The improvement
of the St. Marys Ryken
football team continues,
even after a 35-6 loss to
Washington Catholic Ath-
letic Conference contender
Bishop OConnell Saturday
afternoon.
Our kids are going
to compete and be in every
game, said Knights head
coach Bob Harmon. We
were able to hold the ball a
lot, we just couldnt get it in
the end zone.
The OConnell
Knights got off to a good
start, courtesy of a 95-
yard kickoff return for a
touchdown by junior run-
ning back Joshua Trimble.
Trimble also racked up 110
yards rushing and a 12-
yard score for OConnell,
which improved to 3-0 on
the season.
Harmon felt that the Knights
defense played extremely well, but
due to offensive struggles, the unit
wore down as the game went on.
They have a couple of huge
Division I linemen and they just
grinded it out on us, Harmon
said. We were sputtering on of-
fense a bit and we left the defense
out there too long.
Quarterback Chris Rixey
complete 9 of 17 passes and threw
a four-yard scoring pass to Wayne
Hicks late in the game for the
Knights, who will host Sidwell
Friends Friday night at John G.
Lancaster Park in Lexington Park.
Game time is 7 p.m.
Theyre similar to us a in
a lot of ways, their coach wins a
lot of games, so Im expecting a
good game on Friday, Harmon
said.
Hes also expecting the re-
turn of junior running back Mar-
lowe Wood that evening. Wood,
who carried 11 times for 61 yards
in the rst half of Rykens 32-7
loss to Archbishop Carroll Aug.
29, is scheduled to take the eld
after suffering a knee injury in
that game.
With Marlowe coming back,
that should really help our depth
at running back and our running
game, Harmon said.

Chopticon Worn Down
By Hurricanes

After two tough losses to begin the season, the
Chopticon Braves traveled to Huntingtown Stadium
hoping to get their offense on track for a battle with
yet another highly-ranked team.
Before the game Huntingtown coach Jerry
Franks stated that he knew that Chopticon has the
toughest schedule in the state, and he knew that the
Braves came to battle, so the players will have to
work hard to get a win.
For the rst 24 minutes of this game he was cor-
rect, as the Braves played tough defense and moved
the ball very well between both 20-yard lines. In the
end however, star tailback Greg Goodwin and full-
back Tyler Ricchiuto were too much for Chopticon
in a 40-8 loss on a muddy eld last Thursday night.
The Braves started the game with three drives
into the red zone but were shut down each time by
untimely penalties, or turnovers.
The rst quarter ended with no scoring, but
Goodwin led off the points with a ve-yard TD run.
Chopticon got a safety later in the quarter as a high
snap to Hurricanes punter Demontra Molesworth
sent the ball out of the end zonefor a safety. After the
free kick, Chopticon drove inside the Huntingtown
ve-yard line, only to have a eld goal blocked by
Goodwin.
The defensive battle continued until safety
Chaz Hall intercepted Braves QB
Cody Douglas with less than 30 seconds re-
maining in the rst half and ran it inside the 20.The
Braves defense held Huntingtown to just a eld goal
and Chopticon went into the half trailing 9-2.
Chopticon received the kickoff to begin the
second half and moved the ball well again but, an-
other turnover gave Huntingtown the ball and the
drive was ended on a Goodwin ve-yard TD run.
The Hurricanes continued to grind out yards on the
ground, with QB Justin Bittner only completing
one of nine of his passes. For Chopticon, WR Josh
Gray had an outstanding game catching six passes
and nding the open spot in the Hurricane zone
all night.
Turnovers plagued the Braves for the re-
mainder of the game as Goodwin scored twice
more with touchdowns of seven and 55 yards.
Goodwin nished the night with 23 carries and
189 yards. Ricchiuto had an interception, plus
145 yards rushing on eight carries and scored
on a power run of 79 yards through the middle of the
Braves defense. Douglas was intercepted four times
and had trouble moving Chopticon whenever they
got inside the 20 yard line. Aaron Makle scored the
rst touchdown of the season late in the 4th quarter
on a three-yard TD run. Makle has been injured and
saw limited duty in this game carrying 8 times for
96 yards.
The Braves will head home to face another
tough team, North Point tomorrow night at Braves
Stadium in Morganza. Game time is at 7pm.

ticon football player Matthew Hunt.

HALETHORPE After going 11 seasons with-
out shutting out an opponent, the Great Mills football
team now has two shutouts in the rst three weeks of
2009.
Led by defensive end Basil Moyes four sacks, the
Hornets picked up their second win of 2009, white-
washing Lansdowne High School 45-0 Thursday
night, rebounding from the previous weeks tough loss
to Calvert.
We talked about focus, said head coach Bill
Grifth of the turnaround by his team. We got in
there on Saturday and said, We cant wait for teams
to come to us. We have to go after people., and we did
it today.
It started in practice with hard work, said se-
nior running back Jonathan James, who had a 46-yard
touchdown run along with a 23-yard scoring reception
from Brian Jenner. We wanted to get back on the
winning side.
After two early drives ended in turnovers, the
Hornets offense began pounding away at the Vikings
(0-3), with Jenners six-yard keeper up the middle
starting the scoring. On the ensuing kick-off, Nikita
Alleynes kick and Adam Samblanets hit on the ball
carrier gave the Hornets (2-1 on the season) the ball
back with 15 seconds left in the rst quarter.
James took a handoff to the left side, and with a
crushing block downeld from Derrick Petett, hustled
down the sideline for a 14-0 Great Mills lead.
Their corners bit on all of the fakes, James said.
Once they did that, we did what we had to do, and
thats put the ball in the end zone.
While the Great Mills offense was running the
ball down the Vikings throats, Moye was
running circles around the Lansdowne of-
fensive line, sacking two Viking quarter-
backs four times.
Im a wide receiver on offense, so
Im faster than most linemen, he ex-
plained. I had good technique and good
footwork.
Moyes efforts helped spark the Hor-
net defense, which limited Lansdowne to
an anemic 48 yards of total offense.
Our defense was ying all over the
eld tonight, Grifth said. We
just put that defense in
earlier this summer.
Im so proud of these
guys.
The Hornets
quest for respect
continues, while
they continue
to honor for-
mer team-
mate Will
Smith, who
passed away
a year ago
while attend-
ing college in
Massachusetts.
A lot of peo-
ple underestimate us,
James said. We wanted
to dedicate this season to
Will, but we had to do it
right, because Will didnt
like losing.
Apparent-
ly, neither do
these Hornets.

As the season began for the Leonardtown Raiders, there was hope of
a fast start as the early season schedule did not seem imposing with three
of their rst four games against Calvert, Northern and Thomas Stone. Un-
fortunately Leonardtowns rst home game did not go as planned in a 35-14
loss to Northern.
Game three started off with a bang for the Raiders as Darren Reed
picked up a rst quarter fumble and ran it 70 yards for a touchdown. North-
erns Shayne Zych answered with a 42-yard touchdown run.
In the second quarter, sophomore QB Drew Wysocki hooked up with
Reed on a 70-yard TD pass, giving the Raiders their
last lead of the game at 14-6. Wysocki had a pro-
ductive game, completing seven of 15 pass at-
tempts and rushing for 28 yards.
Northerns offensive line took over
as Dijon Clayton scored next with a 70-
yard touchdown run. In the third quar-
ter, Northerns Jake Taylor scored on
a one-yard scoring plunge. North-
erns QB Justin Emmart only had
to throw the ball four times, com-
pleting three of those attempts
for 90 yards, which included a
24-yard touchdown pass to Ryan
Callahan.
Northern spread the wealth
among their runners with seven
different players combining for
309 yards on the ground. Their
running backs were led by Clay-
tons 180 yards on 21 carries, and
Zych with 59 yards on 8 carries.
Alex Cranford was the fth differ-
ent Patriot to score a touchdown in
the fourth quarter on a three-yarder,
giving Northern 399 yards in total
offense.
The Raiders nished with 66
yards rushing and 123 passing.
Throughout the game. Leonard-
town was undone with two fumbles
and three interceptions. The Raider
defensive unit, challenged all evening,
was led by Mark Bohannons eight
tackles and two assists.
Leonardtown has their next opportunity tomorrow night at Raider
Stadium against Thomas Stone who comes in at 0-3 after their loss to
Lackey last Thursday Night. The schedule toughens up after that with a
trip to Waldorf to face Westlake next Friday night. Kickoff for both games
is scheduled for 7 p.m.
