Dan Bongi-
no, Republican
candidate for U.S.
Senate, took the
time to talk to St.
Marys College
of Maryland stu-
dents about poli-
tics and voting,
though he knew
he was not likely
to get votes from
any of the stu-
dents there.
St. Marys College is well known as
a bastion of liberal thought in a nominally
conservative county.
Ive heard people say that they dont
do politics, well politics does you, Bongino
said. You dont get a choice.
Speaking to a political science class,
the students were intent listeners, though
Bongino seemed surprised that none of
them raised their hands when asked if they
thought that taxing the wealthy was a good
way to turn the economy around.
Bongino said he was the only person in
the race against incumbent Senator Ben Car-
din who was not a millionaire.
Im the only guy in the race who grew
up poor, Bongino said of his New York City
upbringing. I was a city kid.
Bongino went after issues like educa-
tion and health care, saying rising costs in
both were because of government misman-
agement of tax dollars, which constricts
choice and produces bad results.
Pete Burnes, a student in the class
confned to a wheelchair, said that despite
Bonginos analysis of national health care
systems like the one in Britain, he would
choose the British model over the practices
of private health care systems.
Bongino said he agreed that some
practices of insurance companies were
bad.
Ill take the British algorithm over
the insurance companies any day, Burnes
said.

County Picks New
Economic Dev. Director
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
After months of leaving the position
vacant, the Board of County Commis-
sioners announced a new director for the
Department of Economic and Community
Development, Steven J. Anderson, who
headed up a similar agency in Illinois be-
fore coming to St. Marys County.
Commissioner Todd Morgan (R-Great
Mills) said the board chose unanimously to
hire Stevens, who is set to start Oct. 9.
This guy, I really believe, is a good
match for St. Marys County, Morgan
said. He has vision.
Morgan said the months it took to fll
the void after Bob Schaller was removed
from his position in county government
were necessary as it was important to fnd
the right person for the job.
Sometimes haste makes waste,
Morgan said.
Stevens headed up the Lake County
Partners, Inc. in Libertyville, Ill., a not-for-
proft group that focused on targeted eco-
nomic development, which included bring-
ing in businesses like Motorola and FedEx
among others, according to information on
Anderson from St. Marys County.
The county also touted Stevens con-
tact with the military at the Naval Station
Great Lakes.
Morgan said Stevens was impressive
in his interview with commissioners.
He did a real good job, Morgan said.
He had a lot of depth and breadth in his
background.
Barry Burton, Lake County Admin-
istrator, declined to talk about Andersons
time in Illinois but confrmed that he re-
signed from Lake County Partners last
year.
He declined to say why Anderson
resigned.
Anderson also served for six years as
the vice president of business development
for the St. Louis County Economic Council
in St. Louis, Missouri from 2002 to 2008.
Anderson holds a law degree from
the Whittier College School of Law and a
bachelors degree in political science and
history from the University of Missouri.

UniStar, the nuclear reactor operator seek-
ing to build a new unit at Calvert Cliffs Nuclear
Power Plant in Lusby has fled for an appeal
before the Nuclear Regulatory Commission
to review a decision by the Atomic Safety and
Licensing Board (ASLB) earlier this summer
that denied their application due to the fact that
UniStar, which is foreign owned, has no U.S.
partner.
Under federal law an operator seeking a
license to run a reactor must have a national
partner in order to be approved.
UniStar, which is owned by EDF (Electric-
ite De France), is French-owned.
The ASLB decision of Aug. 30 gave UniS-
tar 60 days to fnd a U.S. partner or they would
effectively shelve the application.
In the documents fled Sept. 24, Unistar
asks for guidance from the federal government
on just how much foreign versus domestic own-
ership must be involved in the deal to help en-
sure success.
To appropriately structure participation
in new reactor projects, UniStar and prospec-
tive investors need to understand in advance
what levels of foreign investment will be found
acceptable and what specifc negation actions
will be required, the UniStar fling reads. The
commission now has an opportunity to provide
policy direction on key issues arising under the
agencys foreign ownership, control or domina-
tion (FOCD) requirements, including the issue
of UniStars indirect foreign ownership and the
standard for acceptable FOCD negation action
plans.
The deal to construct a new reactor began
to falter back in 2010 when Constellation En-
ergy Group backed out of the partnership due
to the high costs of seeking federal loan guaran-
tees to fnance the project.
UniStar bought out the majority share in
the project that Constellation, which runs the
current Calvert Cliffs reactors, had and pro-
ceeded in the application process alone, reas-
suring offcials that they would actively seek a
U.S. partner.

Renovations to
Close Museum
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
The Calvert Marine Museum will be closed for the months of January and Febru-
ary to allow for renovations to the building that will maximize foor space.
In the interim, grant money from the Southern Maryland Heritage Area Consor-
tium will allow museum staff to take some of the museum out into the public.
Were not an ivory tower museum were the publics museum, said museum
deputy director Sherrod Sturrock. This was the initiative to get the program running.
The plan now is to take some of their educational materials and go to schools and
talk to students about all things maritime.
That includes some of the wildlife at the museum including terrapins and horse-
shoe crabs so students can learn about them.
Its not as good as being here but its better than nothing, Sturrock said.
The renovations, which are being paid for by a combination of county, state and
private funds, will focus on mainly the public areas in the museum such as the lobby,
auditorium and the gift shop which Sturrock described as totally cramped and out
of space.
None of the actual exhibits will be touched, she said, but the renovations will be
done in such a way as to increase space for visitors to move about without actually
increasing the outside footprint of the building.
The cost of the renovations includes $750,000 in county construction money
backed up by matching donations. A state bond bill is also helping to fund the con-
struction project, Sturrock said.
But the museum is still looking for more donations to complete all the work they
want to do, Sturrock said.
Were constantly working on this, she said.

State of The County: State Hurting County
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
The Board of Commissioners told at-
tendees at the annual State of the County
luncheon Tuesday that the county is doing
well fscally, with a multi-million dollar fund
balance being used to invest in needed infra-
structure improvements at a time when many
other counties are struggling to pay the bills.
Offcials did warn that some of the countys
future is out of their hands now as environ-
mental mandates and land use decisions from
the state come down.
Moreover commissioners are worried
about the possibility of sequestration cuts at
the national level that will likely drastically
reduce military spending here at Naval Air
Station Patuxent River.
A lot of these cuts could have devastat-
ing affects on Pax River, said Commissioner
President Jack Russell (D- St. George Island).
No one knows how much this will affect us.
Russell said the fund balance put the
county in good position to deal with infra-
structure improvements needed to survive the
next round of base realignment and closure
(BRAC) proceedings.
Were not putting this money in a sock
or a box somewhere, Russell said. We have a
plan for this fund balance. We will take care
of this money.
Commissioner Todd Morgan (R-Great
Mills) called local unemployment not that
bad.
Are we perfect? No. But economically
were holding our own.
Morgan said the entire board is against
the states Watershed Implementation Plan
designed to limit pollutants and clean up the
Chesapeake Bay as far too expensive and
onerous to complete by 2017 and 2025.
Its an unfunded mandate being shoved
down our throats, Morgan said. Were not
happy about it.
Commissioner Daniel Morris (R-Me-
chanicsville) agreed with Morgan saying the
mandates made little sense other than to be
motivated by something other than empiri-
cal data.
Nobody will show us the science be-
hind these unfunded mandates, Morris said.
They wont show us what works.
All the commissioners expressed an in-
terest in running again in 2014, responding to
a question from the audience.
Commissioner Lawrence D. Jarboe (R-
Golden Beach) said because he is term limited
he cannot seek another commissioner term
but he still plans to run for state senate.
Morris was the most on the fence about
whether he would seek another run, though he
said he would not seek anything above where
he is now.
Ill be lucky to get reelected, he joked.
I wont run for any higher offce.

Fenwick Street Used Books and Music will hold a book sign-
ing with Niki Baker, author of A Promise Kept, on First Friday,
Oct. 5 from 5 to 7 p.m.
Niki Baker was born in Hawaii of multiracial parents and
adopted at 3 months into a second generation Japanese family.
Baker started off life a little differently. As a child, learning prob-
lems kept tripping up her belief in herself, but her fathers frm conviction she could
succeed was the catalyst that kept her going along with a faith in God.
Eventually she became a special education teacher and a teacher of the deaf; teach-
ing Hawaii, Seattle, Yarinacocha, Peru (w/Wycliffe Bible Translators), Georgia, Ala-
bama and Maryland, a press release states.
Her husbands job at Naval Air Station Patuxent River brought their family to St.
Marys County 21 years ago. All three of her children graduated from Leonardtown
High School.
Baker retired from 200 years of teaching at Calvert County Public Schools in
2011. Instead of being in the classroom, she volunteers at HOPE in Lexington Park and
teaches at St. Marys Detention Center through Prison Ministry and at her church, Our
Fathers House.
About A Promise Kept
As a teenager standing in the rice paddies in Japan, Kimi, wanted to know the God
above all the gods for she needed help making a life changing decision. God promised
she would know Him but sometimes there is an evitable gap of time between the giving
of a promise and the performance of the promise. Its in this time gap that God does His
best work in our lives. Her choices determined the direction her heart would go and the
choices of her adopted daughter brought these choices closer to Him. Sometimes we are
unaware how we infuence those around us and His hands are in all things. It was close
to 57 years from the cold waters of the rice paddy to actually meeting this God Kimi
desired to know, yet it was a promise kept.

Architzel Praised as
Dunaway Takes NAVAIR Command
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
Vice Adm. David Architzel, who recent-
ly retired as commander of the Naval Air Sys-
tems Command (NAVAIR), turned over com-
mand of the $40 billion-a-year acquisition
business to Vice Adm. David Dunaway on
Sept. 20, bringing to a close a distinguished
military career with his retirement.
Architzel, originally an S-3 Viking pilot
tasked with hunting submarines, was widely
praised for streamlining the way NAVAIR
does business, ensuring the best weapons and
aviations systems get to the feet while fnd-
ing signifcant cost savings.
Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Jona-
than Greenert said Architzels leadership pro-
pelled NAVAIR to being one of the best-run
activities in the Navy.
For systems that cost billions of dol-
lars, like our helicopters, we got 20 percent
savings, Greenert said of Architzels tenure.
Hes had an encyclopedia of accomplish-
ments, hes had an unprecedented portfolio.
Sean Stackley, Assistant Secretary of the
Navy for Research, Development and Acqui-
sition, said the retirement ceremony was all
the more important since Architzel was the
last active duty member of the U.S. Naval
Academy Class of 1973.
Dunaway, whose aviator call sign is
Decoy, is also a graduate of the Test Pilot
School at Patuxent River Naval Air Station
and a fghter pilot.
He pledged to be a steward of taxpayer
dollars as well as maintain Architzels record
of achievement. He said maintaining a strong
Navy and Marine Corps are critical to main-
taining the United States as a free country.
We are always the ones who respond
frst for that Im willing to give whatever it
takes, Dunaway said.
Architzel, whose career spanned 40
years, said his achievements could not have
been possible without the personnel under his
command for the past two years.
They are the fabric of NAVAIR, he
said. Its been my honor to serve with you
these past several years.
In the end its the people who get the job
done, he said.

CareNet Pregnancy Center is search-
ing for a new executive director to lead
the center through the next few years.
The search comes on the heels of
current Executive Director Cheryl Keens
departure after 16 years with the center.
She said she began volunteering a couple
months before the executive director po-
sition opened and she decided to apply.
It was a clear call from God, she
said.
She didnt think she was the most
qualifed person for the job, but she got a
call back with a job offer.
Actually, I was a little surprised
when they hired me, she said.
During her time at CareNet, Keen
has seen the center grow from a single
small offce serving approximately 40
clients per month with an annual budget
of about $40,000 to a large offce and two
satellite offces that serves more then 300
clients per month with a budget of ap-
proximately $390,000. They also began
offering sonogram services, a mobile
center to travel to county fairs and other
events and an increased amount of pro-
gramming. There is also an STD clinic
planned to open in the Lexington Park
location.
She hopes her successor can contin-
ue to grow the center. She compared her
situation to a relay race, with her being
a runner at the end of her leg and ready
to pass the baton onto someone fresh and
ready to run. Even with everything shes
accomplished, Keen doesnt feel shes
been alone. Shes had a solid and growing
network of volunteers and co-workers to
lean on, and even feels a little blessed.
I feel like God has done amazing
things and Ive been along for the
ride, she said.
Now the center is looking
for qualifed candidates for the
position of Executive Director.
The executive director has full
responsibility for the administra-
tive, development, public rela-
tions, and training of staff and
volunteers at three pregnancy
center locations.
Candidates must have at
least a bachelors degree and be
able to demonstrate a vigorous
and growing personal relation-
ship with Jesus Christ as well
as a strong commitment to the
sanctity of human life. Keen said
she is looking for somebody with
experience in ministry, leading
groups of staff and volunteers is
critical and experience in preg-
nancy center operations is a plus.
For a complete job descrip-
tion or to submit resume, contact
Keen at director@carenetsomd.

Tenth grade students from South Korea will visit St.
Marys Ryken High School on Friday as part of an ongoing
biannual cultural exchange program.
Rykens Director of Communications Denise Krume-
nacker says the international program is designed to open
the students eyes to what kids their age from other parts of
the world are experiencing. The visits from Gimhae Foreign
Language School, Rykens sister school in South Korea, allow
Ryken students to enjoy something unique and meet students
from different areas of the globe, she said.
Theyre growing up in an increasingly global com-
munity, Krumenacker explained. Its good for them to see
things outside of their own backyard.
Over 135 kids and faculty members from Gimhae
School will pair up with Ryken students and walk through the
campus between three venues featuring different activities
the auditorium, library and gymnasium.
In the auditorium, Krumenacker said Rykens band will
play the South Korean national anthem.
The visiting students will then entertain their hosts using
pop performances a popular trend among Korean teenag-
ers. The performance is expected to consist of dancing and
lip-syncing to popular Korean songs. The Gimhae students
will also play a brief percussion concert.
Last time they were phenomenal, Krumenacker said
of the percussion performance the Gimhae students put on
in 2010.
The library will feature a discussion group where all
eight Korean full time international transfer students attend-
ing Ryken will inform the Gimhae visitors what its like to be
a student in the USA.
According to Ryken international programs director
Amy Cricchi, some typical questions include favorite teach-
ers, why they chose to transfer to Ryken and day-to-day life
in America.
Which myth about America has ended up being untrue
is a very popular topic, Krumacker said.
A dance and chorus performance by the schools per-
forming arts club will take place in the gym and conclude the
half-day visit.
Overall, Krumenacker hopes the visit will share the
ideas and viewpoints of another culture with both groups
of students.
Ryken participates in several international programs,
and even sent some students to Germany in July.
While the Gimhae students are always the ones traveling
to the states, Ryken offcials have begun considering offering
their students international trips to South Korea as well.
Were starting to think along those lines, Krumen-
acker stated.
The Korean students will be in America for the next
week, and Krumenacker said they will also some be touring
some colleges in the DC Metro area during their visit.

School offcials informed St. Marys
County Commissioners on Tuesday of their
need for an additional $2.5 million of county
funding by fscal year 2014 bringing the
total to $8.3 million citing a solar energy
project, construction plan for a new elemen-
tary school and change in state funds.
After a Southern Maryland Electric
Cooperative rebate of $244,000, the county
would be responsible for approximately
$234,000 by FY 2014 for the solar project.
St. Marys County Schools Superinten-
dent Michael Martirano said the energy proj-
ect would save county residents money in the
long run because the school system will be
utilizing more solar power.
Commissioner Larry Jarboe agreed
with Martirano and stressed how solar
funding teaches kids the importance of be-
ing energy effcient while also saving adults
tax dollars but he questioned if the schools
were sure the project would be seen through
from beginning to end.
Theres a very large push to continue
this project [from Gov. Martin OMalley],
coordinating supervisor of capital planning
Kimberly Howe said in response to Jarboes
concerns.
The school system also needs more
money up front to complete the new el-
ementary school by 2014, and would like to
not have to wait an additional third year for
funding if the contractors are able to com-
plete the building in two years.
Martirano said the schools are overpop-
ulated already, a 2.2 percent growth change
is expected and the new school needs to be
completed as soon as possible. There are six
schools in the system that are over 107 per-
cent capacity.
We are rapidly approaching 1,800 new
students in the school system, he said.
Commissioner Dan Morris noted that
the data provided to them by planning and
zoning offcials was much different from
the sky is falling data provided by the
Board of Education, but Martirano argued
the zoning data had already taken into ac-
count the completion of a new elementary
school.
Despite a lot of variable factors such
as politics cited by the commissioners,
Martirano concluded one constant is that St.
Marys continues to be a growing attractive
community, and while new schools are go-
ing to be needed as soon as possible, its also
necessary to start planning for the long-term.
Martirano and Deputy Superintendent
Brad Clements proposed a creative way of
adding a middle school which is expected to
be needed by 2016. In the scenario, a high
school would be built but initially serve as
a middle school only featuring grades six
through nine. The next year it would feature
seven through 10 and continue on that yearly
plan until fnally becoming a conventional
grades 9-12 high school. This way, there
would be no need to build a middle school
and a high school one building would serve
as a short-term and long-term solution.
Its a way of managing the community
and dealing with redistricting at the same
time, Clements said.
The amenities would be built between
2016 and 2020, because there is no need for
football and baseball felds right away if the
building is serving as a middle school.
State funds for school projects have
seen a recent percentage change, meaning
the school board will now lean more heavily
on the countys taxpayers to complete some
projects if they are to be fnished by FY 2014.
The schools wish to shift money from
three year to two year funding to meet con-
tractor needs, and fnish the projects on time.
As long as the state stays on a two-year
plan, Clements said the school system wants
to stay on track. If the state decides to give its
funding on a different basis, then the school
system will have to alter its hopes.
The meeting concluded with county ad-
ministrator John Savich saying they needed
to take some time and consider all the num-
bers, see where the needs are, and come up
with something digestible for the taxpayer

St. Marys College of Maryland is
receiving a $1 million donation from the
Patuxent Partnership, the college an-
nounced Wednesday, in order to become
one of a select few liberal arts colleges to
have an applied physics program.
The money will be used to hire new
staff, expand labs and develop new co-op-
erative and internship programs, the press
release states.
The investment is anticipated to near-
ly double graduates of the physics program
to 12, which would put SMCM in the top
fve percent of colleges in the country with
physics graduates
Richard Platt, SMCM associate dean
of faculty, said the large donation all of
which is to be used in the applied physics
program is just a section of the overall
physics department.
The funds will help expand the de-
partments current programs as well as
physics curriculum offered by the college.
The new line supported by the gift
will be in applied physics, he said.
The establishment of an applied
physics program will provide new and
unique opportunities for our campus, and
a gateway to a world in need of individu-
als who have cultivated their capacity to
think, St. Marys College President Joseph
Urgo said in a release.
Executive director of Patuxent Part-
nership Bonnie Green has been in strong
favor of the initiative, which the press re-
lease states will help the college fulfll its
promise as the states honors college.
She believes the investment will help
strengthen relationships between SMCM
and Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft
Division.
The Patuxent Partnership is a local
nonproft organization which works with
government, industry and academia on ini-
tiatives in science and technology.
The Partnerships mission is to sup-
port STEM education, the Navy and con-
tractor community and to foster related
research opportunities, Green said.

County SAT Scores
Above Average
By Alex Panos
Staff Writer
Students in St. Marys County Pub-
lic Schools tested above the Maryland and
national averages in all three sections of
the Scholastic Achievement Test (SAT) in
2012. The average combined test score was
52 points higher than the Maryland average,
and 41 points higher than the average nation-
al score.
I am particularly pleased that our
students have exceeded the performance
averages at the state and national levels,
Superintendent Michael Martirano stated in
a press release adding he believes the stu-
dents understand the importance of the ex-
ams and made an effort to put their best foot
forward.
Chopticon High School seniors had
above average scores in reading, 536, writ-
ing, 514, and mathematics, 549. They also

16 The County Times
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
Andrew Carter, 26, who was arrested
more than two years ago for the murder of
Antonio Nathanial Pollard, pleaded guilty
to second-degree murder Monday just days
after refusing another plea deal offered by
prosecutors in the case.
Assistant States Attorney Daniel White
said Carters plea does not bring an end to
the case as the state is still pursing charges
against others they believe were accessories
to the August 2010 murder; one such per-
son is James Sheehan, who sources close to
the investigation believe helped dispose of
the handgun used in the slaying, which was
never recovered.
Mr. Sheehans trial is set for November
as an accessory after the fact, White told
The County Times.
White said the state will seek a stiff pen-
alty for the murder.
I think he was angling for a plea agree-
ment that never came, White said. I think
he was waiting for a lesser charge.
Were going to be asking for as much
[prison time] as we can get.
The shooting occurred at the apartment
of Carters girlfriend, Tierra Brooks, located
in Lexwood Court, but there were apparently
no signs of confict or a struggle found in the
apartment.
Prosecutors are also unsure why Pollard,
who was a food service worker at St. Marys
College of Maryland, was in the apartment as
he was considered an outsider compared to
those who were already there.
Along with Carter there were two other
men in the apartment Jonathan Nelson and
Robert Thomas according to the prosecu-
tion, but all involved, including Brooks, were
deliberately not helpful in the investigation of
Pollards murder.
White said he had to swear out arrest
warrants on some involved just to ensure
they would show up Monday for the sched-
uled trial.
White said that the actual circumstances
surrounding Pollards murder are still a mys-
tery but the medical evidence is clear.
White said that Pollard was shot with a
handgun but not at close range, with the bullet
hitting him in the eye, killing him instantly.
There was no damage to the victims
eyelid, White said, leading investigators to
believe that Pollard saw his eminent death
but it was so quick that he had no chance to
defend himself or escape.
Investigators believe the weapon used
was a .22 caliber handgun.
White said one of the men in the apart-
ment at the time, Jonathan Nelson, told police
he witnessed Carter shoot Pollard.
Nelson told police that Carter just said
F it. and shot him, White said.
One theory exists, White said, that the
other men were sent to fnd Carter by Tra-
vis Nelson, who is currently imprisoned,
because he did not like Carter being with
Brooks, with whom he had a child.
After the killing, Carter is known by
investigators to have absconded to Baltimore
with another girlfriend, Jasmin Brown, and
a man who gave him a car ride, were he was
later found by U.S. Marshals.
Brown told police that Carter admitted
to shooting a man in the head at about 4:30
a.m. Aug. 28 claiming it was self-defense
because he was outnumbered, her recorded
police interview read.
Apparently Carter did not know Pol-
lard, according to transcripts of witness
statements.
Police initially found no wallet or other
identifcation on Pollard but a person who
was later arrested for an unrelated crime was
found to have Pollards identifcation, pros-
ecutors said.
Carter faces up to 30 years of im-
prisonment for the second-degree murder
conviction.

Defendant Takes Last Minute Plea in 2010 Murder
Police Arrest Man For
7-11 Robbery
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
A man arrested and
charged with the robbery of a
Mechanicsville convenience
store Sept. 16 has been re-
leased on $5,000 bail, but
has been ordered to obey all
laws and to stay away from
the store he is accused of
robbing.
According to District Court docu-
ments fled by Cpl. Robert Merritt of the
Bureau of Criminal Investigations, police
responded to a report of an armed robbery
at the 7-11 convenience store on Three
Notch Road and learned that the suspect
had entered the store at about 1a.m. and got
some coffee.
When the suspect, later identifed as
Daniel Kamperin of Charlotte Hall, came
up to the counter to pay for the coffee he
threw the coffee into the face of the at-
tendant after they had opened the cash
register.
Kamperin then jumped the
counter, charging documents stated,
and struggled with the cashier until
he produced a hammer and held it
up and threatened to hit her with it.
Kamperin then took some
cash from the register and fed the
scene, police say.
Video surveillance caught the
altercation on the tape and police
used it to gather information on
possible suspects.
Five days after the robbery police con-
tacted Kamperin who, having been read his
Miranda rights, waved them and told police
that he was the one who committed the rob-
bery, charging documents stated.
During the confession the defendant
provided details of the crime only known
to the perpetrator and the victim, Merritt
wrote in charging documents.
Court papers stated that Kamperin is
an apprentice electrician with a salary of
$17 an hour.

Arrest Made in
Book Store Robbery
At 9:20 p.m. Sept. 13, police units responded to
Plaza Books in Lexington Park for a report of an armed
robbery. Responding offcers determined two male
subjects entered the store, armed with handguns and
demanded money from the victim. The victim provid-
ed one suspect with proceeds from the business. The
second suspect stole property and both suspects fed the
store on foot.
Detectives from the St. Marys County Bureau of
Criminal Investigations responded to the store and de-
tectives identifed one suspect as Dontevious T. Dorsey,
19, of Lexington Park, and an arrest warrant was obtained. On Sept. 25, patrol
units located Dorsey and placed him under arrest. Dorsey was charged with
armed robbery, frst-degree assault, theft between $1,000 and $10,000 and incar-
cerated in the St. Marys County Detention Center under a $10,000 bond. The
second suspect remains at large.

Anybody that is paying attention knows that
President Obama's domestic policies are destroying
America, pushing us deeper into debt with high un-
employment and high energy prices, Socialism with
more big government dependency, and weakness
because we can not be a military super power if we
are not a strong economic super power.
But now it is also obvious that Obama has
failed America, and Israel, with his Middle East
policies that could accelerate the coming Armaged-
don. Obama has supported the overthrow of brutal
dictators only for them to be replaced by radicals
like the Muslim Brotherhood, and we continue to
give foreign aid money to Muslim nations that hate
us and are attacking our embassies and killing our
people. America's support for Israel has eroded un-
der Obama, and Obama shows lack of resolve to
stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons.
To allow Iran to get nuclear weapons only ac-
celerates the coming Armageddon because Iran has
vowed to destroy Israel. Even without support from
America, Israel will be forced to go it alone to at-
tack Iran's nuclear facilities sooner rather than later
for their own survival. However, with the buildup of
sophisticated weapons by the Arab nations, Israel
may be forced to use their own nuclear weapons as
all of the Arab Muslim nations unite against Israel,
again bringing on the Armageddon. This could be
a real "mess"!
If Obama would show resolve and give Iran an
ultimatum to stop their nuclear weapons program
now, or face a joint overwhelming military attack
from America and Israel using our advanced con-
ventional weapons, Iran would stop.
Obama shows weakness and his policies are
not only bad for America, but his policies are bad for
the world. Time is of the essence. Vote for Romney/
Ryan.
Joe Wible Sr.
Leonardtown, MD
I read with interest the dichotomy of the two
letters on the same page in the Sept. 20 issue of The
County Times.
Joe Wible Sr. in his "Wake Up America" let-
ter goes through a litany of over twenty reasons he
thinks Obama is leading America into decline but
can write of only one good thing about his prefer-
ence - that Romney, "is a smart businessman".
Compare that with Neil Covey's, "Return Hoy-
er to Congress" letter. Neil relates the wonderful
things Hoyer has done for St. Mary's County and the
nation without saying anything bad about Hoyer's
opponent or even using his name. Thank you Neil
for a well - written. "classy" letter.
One other thing. I noticed that the headline
for the "Wake Up America" letter was written on a
blue background and the headline for "Return Hoy-
er to Congress" was on a red background. Was
that some subliminal message from the "County
Times"?

On Sept. 19, the citizens of St. Marys Coun-
ty were regaled with an article by Patricia Dun-
lap, president of the League of Women Voters,
whose letterhead states they are a non-partisan
organization.
There is absolutely nothing non-partisan about
this organization, and they are masters of manipu-
lation if they tell you they are. None of the par-
ticipants in this orgy they have invited you to, are
non-partisan.
And the guest speaker, Kathryn Ruud, Lin-
guist whose subject is Protecting our Democracy;
Understanding American Political talk in the age
of Infotainment has quite a resume.
She has studied Hitler in Munich and uses his
hate speech in connection with Glen Beck and Rush
Limbaugh. Please do not take my word for this. I
highly recommend that you do yourselves a favor
before considering attending this far left indoctri-
nation, and Google: Who is Kathryn Ruud and
What Does she represent

ticles | Stop Polarizing Talk. Click on to that title

Hotel Celebrates Grand Opening
By Alex Panos
Staff Writer
Lexington Park Comfort Inn and
Suites, which opened July 4, has ex-
perienced great success in its frst few
months in business.
In fact, of over 1,600 Comfort Inn
and Suites nationwide, this one is rated
in the top ten percent, according to Jim
Adams, a Brand Performance Consul-
tant for Choice Hotels International.
The hotel celebrated an offcial
grand opening last Friday with lo-
cal contractors, community members,
county offcials and corporate power
staff, by hosting a self-guided tour for
the public.
The tour had employees at each
stop to explain all the amenities, and
featured eight different areas including a
spacious lounge and dining area, honey-
moon suite and rooms with a king or two
queen size beds, 32 inch high defnition
televisions and wireless Internet.
The hotels ftness room contains
several cardio machines and select
weight training equipment. Customers
also have full access to nearby Maximum
Fitness health club during the length of
their stay.
Hotel patrons also receive dry clean-
ing services from Wow Cleaners in St.
Marys Square in addition to an onsite
laundry room with a washer and dryer.
Training, dedication and support
of our staff allows us to create a superb
product, Comfort Inn General Manager
Sharon McLeod-Hare told The County
Times when asked what separates the
Comfort Inn from several other hotels in
the area also citing a close proximity to
Naval Air Station Patuxent River as a key
factor.
She said the hotels target customer
is business travelers to the Naval base
and surrounding contractors, but they
also feature a variety of weekend services
which attracts all sorts of customers.
Its because of that a lot of custom-
ers are repeat business, she continued,
and also keep coming back because of the
hotels top-notch amenities and quality
customer service.
The tour was preceded by a ribbon-
cutting ceremony and an introductory
meet-and-greet between owners PC and
Upesh Patel and the community.
All of Route 235 is being trans-
formed with this magnifcent building,
said Robin Finnacom, President of the
Community Development Corporation.
But it was Leon Thomas, Choice
Hotels operations performance trainer,
who stole the show during the introduc-
tion, when he predicted the Comfort Inns
bright future. He was blown away by
McLeod-Hares enthusiasm and excite-
ment for a typically mundane hotel cer-
tifcation class.
I said wow this is going to be a
great hotel, Thomas said in a booming
voice which echoed throughout the lobby.
The Comfort Inn and Suites is lo-
cated at 21885 Three Notch Road, Lex-
ington Park. Call 301-863-1051 for more

Leonardtown To Hold Rally for Cancer Walk
By Alex Panos
Staff Writer
Octobers First Friday celebration
on Leonardtown Square has been dubbed
Pink Friday to recognize and support
breast cancer awareness month. The square
will be covered in pink decorations and lo-
cal businesses will all be offering unique
pink specials, with some of the proceeds go-
ing to support local breast cancer patients.
The Oct. 5 event is a rally for the
American Cancer Societys Making Strides
Against Breast Cancer Walk on Oct. 7 in
Wildewood being led by The Sisters with
Bracatude three local sisters who all car-
ry a gene that makes them more susceptible
to breast cancer.
Its important for the LBA (Leon-
ardtown Business Association) to get in-
volved in local community efforts, said
First Friday committee chairperson Carol
Picon. These are local ladies and a local
program.
From food and drink to dcor and
clothing, the square will be packed with
pink activities on Oct. 5.
Good Earth Natural Foods is hosting a
meet and greet with Forever Eden Founders
Wanda and Wynne Brisco. Wanda will be
on hand promoting her new book and dis-
cussing her journey as a breast cancer sur-
vivor. Meanwhile Wynne will be distribut-
ing samples of Forever Eden products, and
explaining the importance of maintaining
healthy skin.
Port of Leonardtown Winery will fea-
ture music from Fractal Folk and is donat-
ing $2 for every bottle of Rose sold on Pink
Friday and the entire month of October
in support of The Sisters with Bracatude.
House specialty drinks and martinis like
the Pink Flirtini will all be $2 off at The
Front Porch.
Caf de Artistes will give a 20 per-
cent discount on all pink wines sold by the
bottle, such as Slack Winerys Lush Blush
and Lous Laurent Danjou, and is featur-
ing pink salmon as the evenings special.
Patrons will also enjoy music from pianist
David Kalil as they dine on their pink meal.
Quality Street Kitchens and the Brew-
ing Grounds are donating portions of their
proceeds on Pink Friday to Cancer Aware-
ness causes.
S-Kape Salon is planning to serve
pink beverages to go along with an eve-
ning of pink pampering. After making
a donation to the Sisters with Bracatude,
customers will be able to receive pink hair
applications, complimentary nail polish
applications and seated chair massages.
The Olde Towne Stitchery Shop is en-
couraging people to stop by and create pink
fower pins to wear throughout the night.
All pink fabrics, and other select fabrics
containing pink, in the shop will be avail-
able or purchase at 20 percent off.
Fuzzy Farmers is donating all money
received from pink items such as scarves
and headbands on Pink Friday to the Sisters
with Bracatude, and Fenwick Street Used
Books and Music is having a book signing
featuring A Promise Kept by Niki Baker.
Picon said the First Friday is going to
spread awareness for the Making Strides
Walk on Oct. 7.
The walk next Sunday is being di-
rected by three sisters who are natives of
St. Marys County Terri Wheeler, Mary
Friess and Beth Yates who all carry a
gene that increases the likely hood they will
obtain breast cancer. All three are breast
cancer survivors and currently work in
Leonardtown.
While Making Strides Against Breast
Cancer is in its twentieth year, Wheeler said
this is the frst time the walk will be held in
St. Marys County.
The sisters will also be onsite in Leon-
ardtown next Friday to share their story and
The Sisters with Bracatude are Terri Wheeler, left, Mary Friess and Beth Yates.

STORY
Insulate today, save energy and money tomorrow!
Today's homeowners are looking for ways to save - save on utility bills, save energy, save money. Research shows homes
without the proper amount of insulation in an attic lose not only energy, but money as well. By adding the proper amount of
attic insulation to their homes, homeowners could save as much as 32% on utility bills, according to the Department of Energy.

thank everyone for the tremendous amounts of support.
I was really taken back, Wheeler told The County
Times about when she learned of the LBAs plans to rally
behind the walk. I thought it was wonderful being
able to do it [host an event] in our own community is
much more satisfying [than walking in DC].
Along with gaining awareness for Wheeler, her fel-
low Sisters with Bracatude and the Making Strides walk,
the LBA is also hosting the event to promote programs
for MedStar St. Marys Hospital.
The hospital will have a table set up at First Friday
to provide information on breast health and the two
programs available for underserved women in Southern
Maryland, MedStar liaison Tami Gaido said.
They will have a display table set up with informa-
tion, and hands-on breast self-exam teaching models
with examples of abnormalities.
MedStar St. Marys Hospital partners with orga-
nizations such as the American Cancer Society to pro-
vide screening and assistance to the Southern Maryland
community. They hope to encourage women to take
measures to ensure good health during First Friday, and
funding typically goes to programs for local community
members.
Wheeler said she would like to see the proceeds go
to Look Good Feel Good, a program to help women
deal with the effects cancer treatments have on the skin,
and the Road to Recovery which pairs current cancer
patients up with survivors serving as mentors.
Through events like Pink Friday, Guido said the
hospital continues to serve the community everyday by
providing health education and information.
Trained educators from Health Connections also
visit area schools, community organizations, churches
and businesses to speak about a variety of health and
wellness topics, Gaido explained.
Aside from the serious topic of breast cancer and
the importance of raising awareness, Picon is looking
forward to a light family evening in the square. Live
Cajun music will be performed and people can walk
around and gain exposure to the Leonardtown business
community.
It will be a very family focused event, she said,
and explained why she believes Leonardtown is a
quaint and focused community.
Leonardtown is historical in nature she said,
there are no large box stores here, everything is owned
by local residents.
She also called the town old school, and claimed
most people are on a handshake and a frst name basis
with the owners in Leonardtown. People can also park
their car in one place, yet manage do a variety of things
in Leonardtown, she said.
The town is community focused, Picon contin-
ued, because community members emphasize support-
ing each other. First Friday exclusively uses local bands
and businesses during the event.
We live, work and play here, Picon said, and buy
local, play local and support local.
The First Friday committee will be on hand in
Leonardtown accepting applications from local resi-
dents wishing to participate in the walk. First Friday be-
gins at 5 p.m. and registration for the walk Oct. 7 begins
at 7 p.m.
For additional details or to pre-register for the
walk, call 410- 721-4304. For more information on the
programs being offered by MedStar call 301-475-4391.

Joseph Bankins, 69
Joseph Aloy-
sius Joe Boy
Bankins of Me-
chanicsville, MD
departed this life
peacefully on
Thursday, Septem-
ber 20, 2012 at the
age of 69 at Wash-
ington Hospital
Center. He battled
coronary heart
disease since 1998
and never once
complained.
Joseph, fondly known to family and
friends as Joe Boy, was born on June
15, 1943 in Oakville, Maryland to the late
James Bernard Bankins and Annie Eliza-
beth Young Bankins.
He was educated at St. Josephs Ele-
mentary School and Banneker High School.
Throughout his life, Joseph was a dedicated
lifelong Catholic having served as an al-
tar boy at St. Joseph Catholic Church in
Morganza, Maryland, from the age of six
through the eighth grade along with his
brother, Bernard.
Joseph was united in Marriage to the
love of his life Alice Olaine Baker Bankins
on August 20, 1966. He was a devoted and
loving husband for 46 years. The couple
was blessed with two wonderful children,
Sonya and Joseph Joey II. He was the
proud PoP PoP to fve grandchildren,
Nyla, Makhi, Jahzaria, Ryan and Zoie, all
of whom meant the world to him.
For most of his career, Joseph worked
in construction. He was especially known
to contractors for his expertise and willing-
ness to assist and explain construction work
to beginners. He was a mentor to many.
Joseph was also a member of the Laborers
Union Local 832. Later in his career, he left
the union and worked for non-union con-
tractors in various positions including that
of General Foreman. He retired in 2003
after continuing complications associated
with his heart.
Like his father, Joseph was an avid wa-
terman. He enjoyed fshing, crabbing, and
oystering. There are no waterways in St.
Marys County that were unfamiliar to him.
When he caught the big rockfsh that didnt
get away, you defnitely knew about it. He
would go to the Medleys and exercise his
bragging rights with the guys. He would
catch so many fsh that he held a Joes
Backyard Annual Fish Fry for seven con-
secutive years open to family, friends and
neighbors. This function became an event
because it graduated from 100 to over 500
guests. He was also known for his famous
oyster stew that everyone loved.
Throughout his life, Joseph was quite
a jokester. He inherited his fathers and his
uncle Joes talent for telling the big one
that everyone would believe. He passed the
talent down to his younger brother Tommy,
his granddaughter Nyla and his grandson
Ryan. His favorite hobbies were bowling,
gardening, watching the Dallas Cowboys
beat the Washington Redskins, hanging
with the fellows and of course hand danc-
ing. He even acquired the name Twinkle
Toes. In addition, we cannot leave out
his million-dollar smile inherited from his
mother. He never failed to let those he truly
loved know his feelings by frequently using
his three simple words I Love You.
Joseph leaves to cherish his memory,
his beloved wife of 46 years Alice Olaine
Bankins; children Sonya Antoinette
Bankins and Joseph Aloysius (Zettica)
Bankins, II; grandchildren Nyla Divine
Bankins, Makhi Nhiyir Best, Jahzaria Ayan
Bankins, Ryan Sebastian Bankins and Zoie
Danae Bankins; sisters and brothers: E.
Marie (Edward) Kennedy; J. Bernard (Cor-
rine) Bankins; Agnes T. Bankins; Cecilia J.
Bankins; Veronica M. Bankins; A. Berna-
dette (William-deceased) Thomas; Gloria
J. (Jerry) Fitzgerald; Thomas E. Bankins;
J. Monique (Mark) Spencer and Joseph
Jody (Linda) Bankins; fve aunts: Mary
E. Somerville, Nellie L. Wade, A. Marie
Goldring , Victoria Bond and Susie Mae
Mason. He was a devoted and caring uncle
to many nieces and nephews, godchildren
and a loving brother to his many brothers-
in-law and sisters in-law. Joseph is also sur-
vived by a host of other relatives and friends
whose lives he lovingly touched. In addi-
tion to his parents, Joseph was preceded in
death by his sisters, Mary Florine Bankins
and Rose Elizabeth Bankins Holly.
Family will receive friends for Josephs

27, 2012 from 5 p.m. until 8 p.m. in the

Kevin Flanary, 53
Kevin Thom-
as Flanary, 53, of
Tall Timbers, MD,
peacefully depart-
ed from this world
that he so enriched
on September 22,
2012.
He was born
March 22, 1959 in
Leonardtown, MD
to the late James V.
Flanary and Doro-
thy Mae Carpenter
Flanary of Lexington Park, MD.
Kevin graduated from Great Mills
High School in 1976. He pursued an early
interest in martial arts to the highest lev-
els. At eighteen, his prowess and hard work
were rewarded with the black belt from
the Headquarters of the Okinawa Sorin-
ryu Matsumara Orthodox Karate-Do. He
joined the U.S. Air Force and served from
1977 to 1980 as an Aircraft Maintenance
Specialist. After completing his military
service, he worked for Northwest Airlines
and Sikorsky Helicopter, among others, uti-
lizing the skills he gained in the Air Force.
On October 22, 1987, he married the love
of his life, Germaine Burns Flanary. They
will always be a part of each other.
He was never afraid of hard work, but
he knew how to take it easy. His favorite
methods of relaxation were barbequing and
spending time with loved ones and friends,
watching NASCAR and other sports, lis-
tening to music, and watching movies, par-
ticularly those of Toshiro Mifune and Bruce
Lee.
After a long battle, extreme physi-
cal challenges made it impossible for him
to continue working. His response was to
work even harder, demonstrating how he
faced adversity with grace and abundant
good humor. Kevin didnt know the mean-
ing of the word quit. He was never stronger
than he was in his last years.

Holiday Madrigal Dinners
Pet of the Week
Hello, I am Zayla. I am about 3 years
old. Female, spay, micro chipped. I
chirp when I speak. I am the sweetest
little girl you will ever meet. Please
contact St. Marys Animal Welfare
League at cndy_dixon@yahoo.com or
410-610-3067.
Start your holiday season in style at
a colonial Madrigal Dinner. Historic St.
Marys City will host the 41st annual series
of celebrations featuring feasting, frolick-
ing, and song in the State House on Dec. 7,
8, 9, 14, 15, and 16.
Holiday revelers have feasted through
the ages. In the colony, delicacies arrived
with the tobacco feet towards the end of
the year and cool weather signaled time
for butchering meat and decanting bever-
ages that had fermented since the harvest.
The notion of adding music to the meal was
introduced to England from Italy, and the
16th-century lords and ladies of the land en-
joyed great madrigal feasts.
Todays madrigal dinners feature
other customs that were probably familiar
to the colonists. The burning of a Yule log,
a common practice by the Middle Ages,
was thought to bring good luck in the New
Year. Plants that magically remained green
through the bleakest times have held a spe-
cial signifcance since Ancient Rome. In
15th- and 16th- century England, musicians
sang carols to introduce the Christmas story
to those who were unable to read.
All of these traditions are part of
HSMCs Madrigal Dinners. Enjoy delec-
table fare from Expressions of St. Marys,
lavish decorations designed and installed by
the Mistress Brent Garden Club, and beauti-
ful harmonies by St. Maries Musica.
Join the Lord and Lady of the Manor
in the Great Hall at 6 p.m. on Fridays and
Saturdays. In response to guests sugges-
tions, this years Sunday dinners will begin
at 3 p.m.
Admission is $85 for the general public
($80 Friends members). Reservations are
required and will be accepted beginning
Oct. 2. Contact Muffn at 240-895-4991
or events@stmaryscity.org soon to insure
your place at the feast.

Scenes From The County Fair
College, Marine Museum Promote Museum Education
By Alex Panos
Staff Writer
In an effort to stir up community in-
terest about museum history, and recruit
students to its museum studies program,
St. Marys College of Maryland hosted a
series of lectures this week educating stu-
dents and the public on some of the worlds
history during its second annual museum
studies week.
This years theme, Apocalypse, was
chosen due to Mayan predictions that the
world will end in 2012.
Of course, the belief that the Maya
predicted the end of the world would hap-
pen in 2012 is, itself, a misinterpretation,
said SMCM Assistant Professor of History
and Museum Studies Program Coordina-
tor Kenneth Cohen.
Thats the fun of the whole theme
our speakers are all talking about challeng-
es of interpreting the apocalypse.
Tuesdays lecture, led by Colonial
Williamsburg Foundation archeologist
Andrew Edwards, featured a discussion
about people who dug-up a graveyard in
Virginia because they believed an old tomb
carried secrets of the year 2000.
Yesterday, Ross McPhee of the Amer-
ican Museum of Natural History led a talk
about how museums interpret and defne
extinction.
In the second year of museum stud-
ies week, Cohen says the college has put a
greater emphasis on appealing to a larger
audience.
Last year, we really focused on our
students, Cohen said. But this year, were
trying to widen our audience and pick top-
ics that will interest the whole community.
Ultimately, Cohen added, he hopes
the talks will ignite a lot of interest and
discussion among the audience, leading
to a desire to visit the local institutions in
Southern Maryland.
St. Marys College professor Cristin
Cash is slated to conclude the presentations
today with a lecture on the Maya, 2012 and
the rapidly approaching, predicted end of
the world. Cohen believes the potential end
of the world is a topic compelling enough
to intrigue many people.
Is any more topic more important?
he asked. People should come to fnd out
if the world is more likely to end this year
that next year!
The lecture today at St. Marys Col-
lege of Maryland is scheduled to begin at
4:15 p.m. in the Cole Cinema and is free to
the public.
Calvert County Marine Museum is
offering free admission Saturday in recog-
nition of Museum Day.
Traci Cimini, Calvert Marine Muse-
ums public relations offcial, believes Mu-
seum Day is a great event because it allows
a chance for smaller museums to offer free
admission as the larger Smithsonian chain
of museums in Washington DC do on a
regular basis.
She says the museum continues to
participate in free museum day because
she hopes it encourages people who have
never been to Solomons or visited the
museum to stop in.
Over 1,400 museums and 350,000
people nation-wide took part in museum
day last year.
Were happy to participate with
them, Cimini said.
In order to get into Calvert Marine
Museum free of charge, patrons are re-
quired to frst visit smithsonian.com/mu-
seumday and download a Museum Day
Admission Card.

African American Civil War Memo-
rial & Museum
Sotterley Plantation Barn (44300 Sotter-
ley Lane, Hollywood) 3 p.m.
Sotterley Plantation is proud to part-
ner with The Boeing Company in an-
nouncing the upcoming 2012 Speaker Se-
ries presentation entitled African Ameri-
can Civil War Memorial and Museum by
Frank Smith, Ph.D. Fulflling a lifelong
dream to honor African Americans who
fought for freedom as United States Col-
ored Troops during the Civil War, he is the
founder and president of this signifcant
Washington, D.C., memorial and museum.
The United States Colored Troops made
up over 10 percent of the Union or North-
ern Army even though they were prohibit-
ed from joining until July 1862, 15 months
into the war. They comprised 25 percent
of the Union Navy. Yet, only one percent
of the Northern population was African
American. Clearly overrepresented in the
military, African Americans played a de-
cisive role in the Civil War. African Amer-
icans fought in every major campaign and
battle during the last two years of the war
earning 25 Medals of Honor. Abraham
Lincoln, recognizing their contributions,
declared, Without the military help of the
black freedmen, the war against the South
could not have been won. This event is
free to the public. Advance reservations
are required due to limited seating. Call
301-373-2280 for more information or to

Aqua Squares Offers Fun
Way to Stay Active
By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
With a more than 40-year history, the Aqua Squares
have been offering Southern Maryland a venue for fun
and fellowship, all while getting some exercise.
Aqua Squares has a storied history. While the group
currently meets weekly at the Southern Community Cen-
ter in Lusby (though they occasionally move venues as
needed), they started on the Benedict Pier in 1971 as a
Monday dances and lessons for beginners.
Members of the Pax Hoedowners, from St. Marys
County, and the Square Dealers, of Deale in Anne Arun-
del County, helped in the beginning. This beginning
group decided that the club would be known as the Aqua
Squares, the history of the club on www.aquasquare-
dancers.org states.
The club moved to Huntington Methodist Church
in the spring of 1972. They moved to the Calvert High
School Field House in 1975 and various other locations,
including the multi-purpose room at Appeal Elemen-
tary School, before coming to the Southern Community
Center.
On Aug. 12, 1973, the Aqua Squares became mem-
bers of Washington Area Square Dancers Co-operative
Association and in September 1977, the club adopted by-
laws and elected offcers.
Gloria Schulz is another part of the history of the
club. She was one of the founding members of the group
and can still be found dancing in squares at the commu-
nity center on Friday nights. She and her husband, along
with another couple, decided they wanted to get involved
in square dancing. Forty years later she is still active and
looks forward to remaining so.
I like it a lot, she said.
Schulz is not the only longtime member of the
group. Mary Ann Rymer has been in Aqua Squares since
1991 and was even president of the group for two years.
She said she started coming to the club at the suggestion
of her friends.
I always loved to dance, so it wasnt hard to con-
vince me, she said.
She said the group works together to host open hous-
es, provide refreshments and help with dance lessons.
We just take turns doing things, she said.
Rymer said Aqua Squares is a source of fun, fel-
lowship and good exercise.
Pam Schmale has been in the group for two years,
and said she and her daughter became interested in
square dancing when they saw an exhibition in Harp-
ers Ferry. When they got home, they looked up places
locally to take lessons and dance.
Aqua Squares President Elaine Reilly has been in
the group for fve years. She said she frst joined for
mind and body exercise.
Square dancers travel between three and fve miles
a night, according to various pedometers used during
dances caller Gary Felton has attended.
Felton has been calling square dances for the past
40 years and has been dancing even
longer.
It takes about 20 years to make a
competent caller, Felton said.
For anybody wanting to get in-
volved in Aqua Squares, lessons begin
this Friday for $24 per month.
Nobody is too old or young to get
into square dancing. Reilly said the
oldest dancer last year was 86 and the
youngest 10. It is also open to singles,
couples and families, making square
dancing an activity anybody can enjoy.
For more information, includ-
ing lesson dates and times, visit www.
aquasquaredancers.org.
Lessons begin Sept. 28 at 7 p.m. in
the Southern Community Center.

Those legislators who agreed to take the oath were released except
the nine arrested in Frederick (including Clark Durant) were not asked
to take the oath and were marched under guard of a company of Wis-
consin military to one of the cars, and an armed guard seated with each
of them. Whilst the balance of the car was flled with soldiers.
These prisoners were taken to Fort McHenry then to Annapolis
where they were placed on a steamboat and taken to Fort Lafayette
(New York). From New York they were moved to Fort Warren in Boston. No formal charges
were ever placed against the men. They were arrested under suspicion of being disloyal.
On the 16th of September, 1861, an order was issued to release Durant from confne-
ment on his taking the oath of allegiance which he refused to do. In early December a letter
was sent to Secretary of State Seward by Thomas H. Gardiner and Thomas Sewell, Jr. ask-
ing him to intervene in having Mr. Durant released saying he has never been guilty of any
disloyal acts.
On December 18 another letter was written to Seward, this time by William J. Blakis-
tone of Friendly Hall (St. Marys County) in which he said:
Mrs. M. E. Durant, wife of Clarke J. Durant, Esq., of St. Marys County, Md., has ad-
dressed a letter to me soliciting my kind offces in behalf of her husband. She assures me
her husband has done no act of disloyalty to the Government; that he was at home attending
upon her in her illness at the time the Wallis resolutions were before the Legislature. I am
also credibly informed that his affairs are much deranged by his absence and that his wifes
health is still very delicate. It is under these circumstances I have taken the liberty to address
you.
Whilst my sympathies are ever alive to the sufferings of my fellow beings particularly
unprotected females, and in this case one who is a descendant of a revolutionary soldier
long an intimate and personal friend, I could in no wise permit my sympathies in the slightest
degree to induce me to do anything that might militate against the integrity and welfare of
my country. Should there be no evidence that he has been guilty of treasonable acts against
the Government or giving aid and comfort to the enemy within your knowledge of which I
am ignorant might I not be excused for recommending his release upon such terms as your
superior wisdom may suggest?
Durant was still unwilling to sign the standard oath then in use and he would ultimately
win what must have been for him no small victory. In April 1862 he and fve of his fellow
prisoners was released upon their giving their written paroles to render no aid or comfort
to the enemies in hostility to the Government of the United States.
Clark Durant died February 23, 1876 and is buried at St. Andrews Episcopal Church as
are his wives and children.

Thank you for sending me all the great egg recipes, I think I will try the
frst one I received called The Ultimate Deviled Egg recipe from wander-
ing with mindless aim Dan for this Sundays church refreshments. Thanks
Dan! Adding the crabmeat and all the other ingredients sounds delicious
cant wait to try it. If Im lucky there might be some left over for our Red-
skins get together after church.
I should have tried the recipe out this past weekend when we went to
North Carolinas Outer Banks; Kitty Hawk specifcally. My husbands neph-
ew/Godson, Warren was turning 40 and several family members and his
friends came to share the festivities with him. His wifes family has owned a
large cottage on the Oceanfront since the late 1940s. Their cottage has gone
through many changes over the years due to beach erosion and hurricanes. It
was neat to see pictures of the original saltbox style house built on the sand.
And we were told the house was pretty far from the ocean at that time. Not so
anymore. The house is now built up on stilts like most all of the other houses,
and has lost a large porch and freplace over the years. Large dunes have
been built in front of the houses to help buffer the houses. But its lovely,
warm, and cozy inside. Its the kind of house I love: everything casual, sand
and saltwater welcome. The ocean is now only 50 to 75 feet away from the
back steps depending on the tide.
Now I know why everyone gets those OBX stickers on their cars. As a
young teen my Mother and I took a days adventure from our camper site
in Virginia Beach to travel down the coast for a few hours. All that really
stuck in my mind was all the houses on stilts. This was a late fall trip back in
the early 70s. Everything just seemed pretty deserted to me, and I couldnt
imagine ever having fun at a place like this. Virginia Beach was excitement
from the time you woke up until went to sleep, and that was just the K.O.A.
campground.
I loved the Virginia Beach boardwalk, the lights, arcades, the sand, the
sun, and especially The Peppermint Beach Lounge for teens, and Giovannis
Italian Restaurant. Oh, and there was my ultimate faves: air hockey and
miniature golf. I believe I have written about them before. So, I naturally
thought that the bright lights/big city type of beach is what I loved, but after
staying in Kitty Hawk for a few short days, I realized how nice a relatively
private beach can be. The town of Kitty Hawk had everything
the city had anyway. If we had more time I would have liked
to explore the area more.
On Saturday evening, after a full day on the beach where
everyone was surf fshing, swimming, or lounging, we headed
out to eat dinner at a popular diner style restaurant called The
Kill Devil Hills Diner. I thought there would only be a few
eateries, but as we drove there seemed to be a few restaurants
on every block with lots of neon and bright colors. The Out-
er Banks seemed to have things that both my husband and I
would love. He likes bright lights a little more than I do, and
he loves the ocean more than me. My top preference would
be a secluded lake-side cabin for a long-term vacation. Kitty
Hawk covered it all.
Owning a cabin there is a treasured experience; every-
one seems fully aware that things could change in a heart-
beat. With this in mind, I tried to imprint everything about the
cottage and beach onto my mind. This is a good thing to do
anyway just in your normal daily routine; to be present in the
moment as we hear all the time. I will remember our weekend
getaway, treasure what we had, and hope that I and the rest of
the family get to enjoy the pleasures of sand and sun for a long
time to come.
To each new days adventure,
Shelby

Anissa Swanzy, owner and designer of
SKD Studios in Lusby says, Our custom-
ers are the people who want to redesign their
space for $100,000 or $10,000. We can do it
all.
SKD Studios is hidden in Lusby
Commons Shopping Center, behind the
Starbucks.
I dont know why people from St.
Marys wont come over the bridge and
compare our prices and designs with our
competitors. If they were willing to drive the
fve miles, they could fnd we can beat our
competition.
Swanzys passion for design and quality
products is apparent within minutes of sit-
ting across from her counter in a barstool-
high directors chair. Displayed prominently
on the wall is her mission statement: Our
promise to you is a product you will love, on
a budget you can afford in a timeframe you
can expect.
We are the best kept secret in Mary-
land and we dont want to be any more.
Swanzy said. We want people to know that
they dont have to go to Annapolis or D.C. for
their design. We are a local design studio.
Furthermore, she wants potential cli-
ents to know that she will work with anyone.
Well work with our licensed contractors on
your project. Well work with you if youre
doing it yourself. Well work with your Uncle
Bob, if hes a contractor. We want people to
know that we arent only interested in the
$100,000 jobs. We want the $8,000 jobs too.
She used to go to peoples homes to
give them free estimates, but found she was
spending gas money and several hours of her
time working with people to redefne a space
only to have them take her work and go with
someone else.
I was basically giving them free design
advice. Not even my competition was doing
that. If someone wants to bring in measure-
ments and get a plan, I can do that for free,
just like my competition.
But those willing to pay $125 for her
to come out to the house and create a plan,
she will credit the cost back if they use her
services, even if they decide to do the work
themselves.
Some of the advantages of using a de-
signer over a hardware store with a design
program, include:
Access to resources all over the world
that are only available to members of the
trade;
Knowledge and experience with de-
signers who know how to stretch at budget
and know where to spend dollars for the
wow factor.;
Design the room with the adjoining
rooms in mind;
Avoid design faws which often come
with inexperienced sale personnel using the
design computer software.
I had a guy come in. He was looking
to compare a design from Lowes, I told him
that he was never going to be able to open
his cabinet door because the microwave oven
stuck out too far on his current plan.
Another drawback to designs from na-
tional chains for do-it-yourself clients is
that the plans only address cabinets and ap-
pliances. They dont consider all the other
layers which pull a space together things
like lighting, back splashes, paint colors,
fooring, tiles, fxtures, etc.
The kitchen is the most important
room in the house. I dont understand how
they can design it without considering the
adjoining rooms. I can do it all. I can bleed
in the colors from the other rooms and think
about a back splash, Swanzy said.
Not only that, but Swanzy promises to
be there with her clients when the project
hits the inevitable unexpected circumstances
the quartz countertop arrives with a huge
stain or the manufacturer sends the wrong
cabinets.
If you call me, youll fnd that Im al-
ready on top of it. And if youll trust me and
give us a chance, youll fnd that this isnt our
frst rodeo. We have a good track record. Be-
lieve me. We feel your pain when weve torn
up your kitchen and youve eaten nothing but
grilled cheese or microwaved food for two
months.
Swanzy has gone through this so much
that she even prepares her clients up front.
I tell them trust us, there is going to come
a time when you dont want to see my face
or the contractor ever again, but in the end,
if you push forward, it will be the space we
promised and it will be exquisite.
She laughs, There is a reason why DIY
Network and HG-TV dont allow people into
the house while they are remodeling. Its
because people start to second guess. They
dont understand that its all about the layers.
By layers Swanzy means the paint,
then the fooring, fxtures, cabinets, and all
the way down to the vase of fowers set on
the kitchen counter to pull the entire room
together. She said she recently suggested
painting a dining room a bright orange and
the client started getting nervous. In the end,
the client admitted she wished she had gone
with an even brighter orange.
In the future, she hopes to have a big-
ger shop, one that can showcase some of the
work they can do, such as lighting, window
treatments, key furniture pieces and more.
What she wont have is 50 faucets and 30
sinks on display.
Every job is unique. We are not a cook-
ie cutter design studio. We go in and look at
the space, learn about the clients, their styles,
and how they will use the space. We are not
your average show room. We are not going
to slap cabinets on the wall. We are going to
help people redesign their space.
The most important things Swanzy
wants people to know about SKD Studios
are that they are located in Lusby, tucked
away in a corner by the Starbucks, they work
with do-it-yourself clients, they are just as
interested in the small jobs as the big jobs,
and they design more than kitchens and
bathrooms.
Swanzy invites people to stop by the
studio or email anissa@skdstudios.com,

Leonardtown High School (2-2) won
its second straight game last week, beat-
ing Thomas Stone 28-14.
After Stone took an early 7-0 frst
quarter lead, the Raiders were able to tie
it up 14 a piece at the half before shutting
out the Cougars to fnish the game.
Stephen Stewart got the ball 22 times
and came through with 95 yards. The
Raiders caught just three passes during
the contest, two of which were hauled in
by Corey Dennee for 43 yards. Brandon
Brock led the way on defense with 18
tackles, and Jed Law recorded two sacks.
Up next for the Raiders are the Chop-
ticon Braves (1-3), coming off a loss to
Sussex Central 48-21.
Braves quarterback Kevin McVerry
threw for 240 yards including a 64-yard
reception by Andrew Collar and 88 re-
ceiving yards by Braxton Powell. Kyle
Barber handled most of the work on the
ground carrying the ball 25 times and
scoring two touchdowns. The Braves and
Raiders will meet on Friday in Morganza
at 6 p.m.
Great Mills High School (0-5) re-
mains winless after being defeated by the
McDonough Rams 41-0. The Rams led
21-0 at the end of one and never looked
back. In addition to a high-octane offense,
punter LaQuan Renaud made it even
tougher on the Hornets with booming 40-
yard kicks and pinning them inside the 20
yard line on his only two attempts. The
Rams also recorded 9.5 sacks during the
game. The Hornets will look to bounce
back on Friday against Potomac at 6 p.m.
in Great Mills.
St. Marys Ryken (1-3) battled St.
Albans to the end, but gave up 14 points
in the fourth quarter to lose 35-21. St.
Albans quarterback Mike McCurdy was
seemingly unstoppable on Saturday, re-
cording 328 yards to go along with four
touchdowns. The Bulldogs also picked
the knights off twice, both coming from
Matt Sniezek who also led the offensive
aerial attack catching 8 balls for 185 yards
and three touchdowns. The Knights have
another road game on Saturday in Alex-
andria, Va. against Bishop Ireton. Game
time is set for 1:30 p.m.

Under the category of
having a blast, this autumn is becoming the
best on record for me. When I dropped the
boat in the water last Thursday at Buzzs
Marina, I wasnt sure if I wanted to believe
my own reports because fsh will often make
liars out of good, honest people particularly
when there are different witnesses in the mix.
One of the things that I love most about
fshing is that every day is different. Differ-
ent fsh species move through the area at dif-
ferent times of the year, and move from place
to place throughout the Bay depending on
conditions including water quality, currents
and natural bait sources. The challenge, of
course, is to fnd them.
Naturally, I set out to fnd the fsh where
I caught them the week before. Just as natu-
rally, they werent there. I explored the inlet
at St. Jeromes Creek, the artifcial Wood-
row Wilson Bridge reef at Point No Point,
all around Point Lookout and into the mouth
of the Potomac River up to Smith Creek. Ev-
erything caught on The Ordinary Angler was
small and could not be kept, including a few
small red drum one of my favorites and
several small stripers. It was time to look
elsewhere.
I motored over to the Eastern Shore Is-
lands and found speckled trout, redfsh and
stripers in good numbers there. By
casting 3/8 ounce jig heads with vari-
ous 4 plastics in current passing close
to points of land and other structures,
my fshing partner and I managed to
boat enough keepers to call it a great
day. Motoring back across the Bay to
St. Jeromes Creek, we found schools
of breaking bluefsh and stripers.
We actually saw Spanish mackerel
in the mix, but didnt catch any. We
kept enough fsh for a couple of good
meals including specks, a 19 puppy
drum, and one rockfsh before fnish-
ing for the day.
Almost all species of fsh are
still here in good numbers. Spot will
be moving on soon, so if you want to
try live-lining, do it now before they
leave altogether. White perch and
croakers continue to be caught by
people who target them. White perch
are of a decent size (10 inches and big-
ger), but the bigger croakers are beginning to
diminish in numbers. There are more and
more reports of folks catching small founder.
I expect that keepers will be reported soon.
Folks who troll can expect to fnd good
numbers of bluefsh and an occasional Span-
ish mackerel, based on last weeks results.
The mackerel will move out very soon as
temperatures cool and the days get shorter.
Stripers will begin their fall patterns soon, so
a few of the bigger migrating fsh should be
catchable in the coming weeks. In the mean
time, light tackle anglers are catching stripers
with jigs and top-water lures with regularity
in the rivers and around structure on the Bay.
There are a few species of fsh being
caught that are a little unusual for this area.
The most abundant, or course, are the little
redfsh; but other fsh like sea mullet, sheeps-
head, small sea bass, and even big red drum
are also surprising some anglers. I dont
know if its true, but unusual catches like
these create optimism that conditions in the
Bay are improving. I hope so.
If you have a great day or catch some-
thing unusual, take a picture and send your
report to me at riverdancekeith@gmail.com.
Keith fshes weekly from his boat, The
Ordinary Angler, during the season, and
spends his free time supporting local conser-
vation organizations.
