Diana Worth, right, offers assistance to Connie and Pete Heister.
By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
Following a June 17 Board of County Commissioners decision, Fairview
Visitors Center officially closed on July
1.
Prior to the closing, staff at the Fairview library informed visitors of the
closure, collecting letters and signatures
in support of keeping the Fairview Visitors Center open.
Former Fairview Visitors Center
employee Diana Worth has a number of
concerns about how the closure of the
branch will affect tourism service in the
county.
The Fairview Tourist Center caught
people on their way into the county, she
said, and the staff was able to help people
get directions and direct them to county
attractions not visible from Route 2/4,
such as local wineries, golf courses and
parks. They also recommend the best
places to get a meal.
It doesnt explain on the side of the
road whats going on, said Rockville
resident Connie Heister, who stopped
with her two daughters and husband,
Pete, to get a map and directions to local lighthouses. While they were at the
visitors center, Worth helped them put
together an itinerary that included visiting Solomons Island and Flag Pond.
When asked, visitors center employee Barbara Sprecher said closing the
Fairview location just doesnt make a
lot of sense.
Most visitors to the Solomons Visitor Center want to stay in Solomons, said
Van Ireland. People stopping at the Fairview center are curios about the county,
Photos by Sarah Miller
and he enjoys directing them to local

businesses and under-advertised locations. Both Ireland and Sprecher will be
joining the staff at the Solomons Island
Visitors Center as of July 2.
The visitors center was open seven
days per week, and will still be open
when the Fairview library is open, said
Chamber of Commerce President and
CEO Carolyn Hart. There will be no
staff at the Fairview visitors center, and
the logistical challenges of going from
a manned to unmanned visitors center
are being considered, Hart said.
The Solomons Island Visitors center remains open, with the staff from the
Fairview Visitors Center having migrated to provide additional staffing at
the southern location.

Complete Primary
Ballot Count to be
Finished on Monday
The last of the numbers from the primary election are to be in on July 7. Approximately 19 percent of registered voters
cast their ballot, according to Elections Administrator Gail L. Hatfield.
The relatively low turnout is to be
expected during a gubernatorial primary,
Hatfield said, especially one where there are
few contested races. She anticipates a high-
er turnout for the general elections.

The provisional ballots were counted
on July 2 and the last of the absentee ballots
are scheduled to be counted on July 7.
Its never over until the last vote is
counted, Hatfield said.

Town Hall Meeting To Be

Held On Water And Sewer Issues
The League of Women Voters of Calvert County will hold a Town Hall Meeting on
Thursday, July 10 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Calvert Library, located at 850 Costley Way,
Prince Frederick, Md.
The topic for the meeting is: Water & Sewer Issues in the County. As a peninsula bordering the Chesapeake Bay, Calvert County has multiple water resources but is challenged
regarding disposal of its waste. Dr. Meredith Steele, assistant professor in the Department
of Crop and Soil Environmental Studies at Virginia Tech, will attend.
Discussions will center on whether Calvert should focus attention on installation of
public waterand sewer systems or if Calvert should manage and regulate private systems.
The meeting is free and open to the public. Members of the Board of County Commissioners have been invited. For more information on the League, visit www.calvert1.lwvmd.

Lusby Native Serves Aboard

USS Harry S. Truman
By Petty Officer 1st Class Ruben Perez,

Navy Office of Community Outreach
A 2006 Patuxent High School graduate
and Lusby, Md., native is serving on one of
the worlds largest warships, the U.S. Navy
aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman (CVN
75).
Petty Officer 3rd Class Michelle Gray
is an aviation boatswains mate (handler)
(ABH) aboard the Norfolk-based ship, a
Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier and one of only ten operational aircraft
carriers in the Navy today. Named in honor
of former President Harry Truman, the carrier is longer than 3 football fields, at nearly
1,100 feet long. The ship is 252 feet wide and
weighs more than 100,000 tons. Two nuclear
reactors can push the ship through the water
at more than 30 mph.
As a 25 year-old with numerous responsibilities, she said service members works
harder than people think. In port it isnt so
strenuous or faced paced, but out to sea it can
be a whole other ball game, said Gray. She
added she is following her grandfather and fathers Navy tradition. I was raised in a Navy
family, third generation. I joined as a step-
ping stone to a future career. She also said

she is proud of the work she is doing as part
of the Trumans 5,500-member crew, protecting America on the worlds oceans. Without
ABHs aircraft would not get moved and this
is our primary mission. Gray explained.
Sailors jobs are highly varied aboard
USS Harry S. Truman. Approximately 3,000
men and women make up the ships company,
which keeps all parts of the aircraft carrier
running smoothly this includes everything from washing dishes and preparing
meals to handling weaponry and maintaining the nuclear reactors. Another 2,500 or so
form the air wing, the people who actually fly
and maintain the aircraft.
I never cease to be impressed with the
type and quality of work that goes on aboard
Truman each day, said Capt. S. Robert Roth,
the carriers commanding officer. Our team
is filled with highly qualified young adults
in many cases, 19 and 20 years old and
theyre out here running a complex propulsion system safely, serving as air traffic controllers, operating sophisticated electronics,
launching and recovering aircraft when were
underway, and keeping this floating city alive
and functioning. I cant express how proud I
am to be a part of this team. They performed

at the highest level, day in and day out during
our recent 9-month combat deployment and
are continuing to do so here at home. Their
professionalism, dedication and commitment
to excellence are second to none.
USS Harry S. Truman, like each of the
Navys aircraft carriers, is designed for a
50-year service life. When the air wing is
embarked, the ship carries more than 60 attack jets, helicopters and other aircraft, all of
which take off from and land aboard the carrier at sea. Powerful catapults slingshot the
aircraft off the bow of the ship. The planes
land aboard the carrier by snagging a steel
cable with an arresting hook that protrudes
from the rear of the aircraft. All of this makes
the Harry S. Truman a self-contained mobile
airport and strike platform, and often the first
response to a global crisis because of a carriers ability to operate freely in international
waters anywhere on the worlds oceans.
As a member of one of the U.S. Navys
most relied upon assets, Gray and other USS
Harry S. Truman sailors know they are part of
a legacy that will last beyond their lifetimes.
Fellow sailors, never forget where you
come from. It can very easy to get wrapped
in this world and away from home. Remem-

ber why you joined and dont lose sight of

that. You learn many things about yourself
through the Navy, said Gray.

Great Mind Receives Great Honor

By Emily Charles
Contributing Writer
Many students will tell you that
school is hard, but for some, its harder
than for others. Dr. Joan Mele-McCarthy, Executive Director of The Summit
School, has been doing her best to make
it easier for children with learning disabilities such as dyslexia, processing
difficulties, memory challenges, weak
language abilities, as well as attention
and executive function concerns, MeleMcCarthy said.
Her work at Summit, a non-profit
school located in Edgewater, has led
many students to become scholars, with
over 90 percent of alumni entering colleges such as the United States Naval
Academy, The Citadel, West Virginia
University and St. Marys College of
Maryland, according to the schools
website, www.thesummitschool.org.
Due to her years of service in
speech-language pathology, Mele-McCarthy has been elected to a three-year
term as a Board Member for the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA), the national association
specializing in hearing and balance disorders, speech and language problems
and their treatments, states the ASHA
website, www.asha.org. This is not the
first time the ASHA has recognized
Mele-McCarthys skills in speech-language pathology. In 2013, she was recognized for her accomplishments in the
education system, her clinical work and
her work as a volunteer for professional
organizations and was given the title of
an ASHA Fellow, an honorary award
in recognition of outstanding achievements, Mele-McCarthy said.
As a board member, she will act as
the Vice President for Government Relations and Public Policy.
When asked about her goals in this
position, Mele-McCarthy stated:
The role of Vice President for
Government Relations and Public Pol-
icy is multi-faceted, with opportunities

for accomplishments in several arenas:
achieving strong visibility and influence
in all federal public policy issues related
to our professions; relationship building
with non-governmental agencies to promote the needs and rights of individuals
with communication disorders; increasing the reach of the ASHA Political
Action Committee; ensuring optimum
state-national association relationships.
The most pressing public policy issues
in the near-term for our professions involve healthcare and general and special
education legislation and policies.
With that in mind, she hopes to
seek creative ways keep members informed and engaged and to actively
promote ASHAs mission to legislators,
policy-makers, advocacy groups and
consumers.
Mele-McCarthy will not be leaving her post as Executive Director to
the Summit School, as her position as a
board member is a volunteer position
which resulted from a nomination from
her peers and subsequent election to the
position by her peers.
Having worked in speech-language
pathology since her years as an undergraduate, Mele-McCarthy intends to
continue the expansion and encouragement of appreciation for the power of
our knowledge set [in speech-language
pathology], the art and the science of
diagnostic thinking and the impact of
planning meaningful and life-changing
interventions, Mele-McCarthy said.
School can be a struggle for a child
with a learning disability, but Mele-McCarthy and The Summit School are there
to help. The Summit School will accept
students from any county, regardless of
where they reside, Mele-McCarthy said,
and testing for certain learning disabilities is offered by Summit for children and
adults alike, according to its website.
In addition, Summit provides tutors for
children who are not registered with the
school but are in need of assistance.

Theres a New Seafood Restaurant in Town

By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
Visitors to Solomons will have
a new seafood place to check out
this summer with the opening of
Anglers Seafood Bar and Grill.
The restaurant had a soft
opening in April, according to
manager Kelly Smith. Before
opening, the restaurant was gutted
and remodeled.
Owners David Gilbert and
Rene Ward run a number of different businesses in the area.
The menu offers everything from grilled cheese to a
steak and crab cake platter. Smiths favorite thing on the
menu is the haddock sandwich. The two chefs on staff regularly come up with new ideas for dishes, Smith said.
Anglers hosts a variety of evening activities. On
Thursdays, the restaurant features trivia night, which has
been popular, Smith said. There is a Happy Hour with a $5
drink menu from 3 to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday. Anglers will be hosting the pre-race party for the upcoming
Solomons Offshore Grand Prix, to be held this year Sept.
12 to 14.
Smith, Gilbert and Ward are all Calvert County natives, which is the inspiration for them to be involved in
the community and build a restaurant that caters to locals.
The plan is to make it a place for locals to go even during the winter months.
Anglers is located at 275 Lore Road in Solomons.

First Camp Junior

Sheriff Starts Monday
By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
Cops, firemen and Calvert County Parks and Recreation, in conjunction with the Calvert County Sheriffs Office,
is offering the first ever Camp Junior Sheriff.
The camp will be held July 7 through 11 from 8 a.m. to 4
p.m. at the Cove Point Park Pavilion in Lusby. Rain days will be
held at the Southern Community Center. The camp is open for
children ages 10 to 14, and campers must be 10 at the start of the camp, according to
Civilian Duty Office Supervisor Jessica Jones.
This is the first year the Sheriffs Office has hosted a camp, Jones said, and the
intention is to make it an annual summer offering.
The camp can accommodate 100. Campers will be split into groups of 25 and
supervised by local law enforcement officers, all of whom have donated their time to
the camp, Jones said.
In addition to the officers serving as camp counselors, members of the K9 unit,
local firemen, 911 dispatchers and representatives from the local jail will visit the
camp and talk to campers about their work. There will be educational and team-building activities, Jones said. Campers will end the day at the Cove Point pool, weather
permitting.
There are still spaces open for last minute registrations. Applications are located
at Calvert County Parks and Recreation. The camp is $5 per child. Each camper will
receive a water bottle, tee-shirt and entry into the water park. Campers are asked to
bring a bagged lunch from home, Jones said.

Patuxent River Sail and Power

Squadron Honors Wounded Warriors
By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
The Patuxent River Sail and Power Squadron
(PRSPS) took Wounded Warriors and their families out
for a day of fun in the sun to thank them for their service.
According to organizer Jim Brueggemann, a retired
member of the United States Navy, this was the sixth
year the squadron has been involved in the Wounded
Warrior Cruise. The first two years, the PRSPS worked
with another squadron. The past four years, the PRSPS
worked independently in conjunction with the NAVAIR
Wounded Warrior Program Office, Walter Reed National Military Medical Center and other organizations in
the area.
What Jim and the rest of the power squadron does
is just phenomenal, said Sonny Fann, a representative
of the NAVAIR Wounded Warrior Program.
Fann is a Vietnam veteran, having served two tours
overseas. He knows from experience how important it is
for Wounded Warriors and their families to have a day
out, doing something fun without having to plan it. The
feedback from the Wounded Warrior Cruise is always
positive, he said.
Another reason the outing is so important is because
it makes the returning soldiers feel welcome. Theyre
recognized for the sacrifice they made to defend the
United States. Fanne and other Vietnam veterans have
made it a goal to make sure soldiers know their country
supports them and they are appreciated.
Part of supporting veterans includes helping them
find careers. NAVAIR has a program to give veterans a
chance to build careers that compliment the leadership
skills they develop while in the military.
Youd be surprised what they can do as long as you
give them the opportunity, Fann said.
United States Army Reserve veteran Jason Rosenthal is involved in the NAVAIR career program, in addition to volunteering on the recreation committee. He
wouldnt normally be comfortable attending events, he
said, and he got involved in planning activities as a way
to force himself to be more social.
This year was the second time Rosenthal was involved in the Wounded Warrior Cruise. Last year he had
just moved to the area. He didnt know anybody, which
made him nervous, but the squadron made him feel
comfortable and welcome.
Capt. Jim Brueggemann.
Squadron members and guests get ready to hit the water.
They make you feel like a superstar when you walk

in the door, Rosenthal said.
This year marked the 70th anniversary of the
PRSPS. The organization is a unit of United States Power Squadrons (USPS).
According to the USPS website, organized in 1914,
USPS is a non profit, educational organization dedicated
to making boating safer and more enjoyable by teaching
classes in seamanship, navigation and related subjects.
Our members are boating families who contribute to
their communities by promoting safe boating through
education. USPS has some 40,000 members organized
into 450 squadrons across the country and in some US
territories. USPS is Americas largest non-profit boating
organization and has been honored by three US presidents for its civic contributions.
The squadron has 140 members, said Squadron

Commander Wayne Rogers, and 50 to 60 of the members are extremely active in the organization.
The squadron has three goals, Rogers said. The first
is to promote boating safety through a variety of classes. The majority of the squadron members take classes, from boating for beginners to celestial navigation.
Classes are offered for non-members as well, Rogers
said. The PRSPS offers a five week boaters class for $35.
The second goal is to promote civic service through
free vessel safety checks and events such as the Wounded Warrior sail. The third goal is very simple have a
good time.
Having a good time was the goal during the Wounded Warrior outing, Brueggemann said.
The outing is a team effort. The Patuxent River Air
Museum opened their doors for a pre-outing barbeque

as a rain location, Brueggemann said. If
the weather hadnt permitted the threehour cruise, then the group would have
remained at the museum to enjoy the displays, artifacts and fly the aircraft simulators free of charge, Brueggemann said.
Brian Simpson brought a full spread
barbeque picnic, courtesy of Mission
BBQ. BJs Wholesale Club provided potato chips, cake, cookies and beverages.
BJs got involved in the Wounded
Warrior outing last year, according to
Senior Operations Manager Jay Johnson.
When he heard the power squadron was
doing the outing again, he was happy to
be involved again. Johnson is a retired
member of the United States Navy and
was happy for the opportunity to support
Wounded Warriors.
Every member of the power squadron
donated their time to set up and clean up
after the barbeque, volunteered and readied their boats to welcome the Wounded
Warrior guests, helped out as deck hands
and first mates and manned lines for the
departure and return of the boats to Calvert Marina.
The marina provided dockage on a
floating pier where we can keep all boats
together. This is a big deal when you have

eight large boats and 41 guests boarding, Brueggemann said.
He is already planning next years
event, hoping to expand the program to
include more soldiers and their families.
Rosenthal plans to be involved again in
2015, this time as a volunteer.

60 Years Ago This Month - The Ordeal of Dr. Sam Begins

On TV improbably handsome young
detectives solve murders in under an hour. In
real life, some are never solved.
In 1954 Dwight Eisenhower was president, the US Supreme Court outlawed racial
segregation in public schools, and America
was in the midst of the Red scare.
On the evening of July 3,1954, Sam
Sheppard,a handsome osteopathic surgeon
and his beautiful wife, Marilyn were entertaining guests in their home nestled on Lake
Erie. With the giddiness of a newlywed, Marilyn, in a moment of caprice, perched herself
in her husbands lap as the guests gathered
around that modern marvel, television. Sam
lovingly caressed his expectant wifes belly
as they discussed possible names for the
baby. Sam could afford modern luxuries like
TV; the youngest of three sons, Sheppard
had returned to Ohio after completing his
residency Los Angeles County General Hospital to join his father in a thriving practice.
Marilyn taught bible classes in the couples
two-story waterfront home.
Boats dotted the lake. It was the unofficial start of the July 4th holiday. Marilyn
showed their guests out and Sam retired to
an upstairs daybed, exhausted. Earlier that
afternoon, he had treated a young accident
victim in the E.R. The young patient hadnt
survived his injuries.
At 5:04 a.m. that morning,the phone
rang in the home of Spencer and Esther
Houk. "Get over here quick! Mayor Houk
was told. I think they've killed Marilyn!"
Sometime during the night, Marilyn
Sheppard had been bludgeoned to death.
Sams watch and some items from the
house were missing. Under questioning by
police,Sheppard related being awakened by
his wifes frenzied cries for help, and of being attacked by a bushy-haired form he had
chased onto the lake before being knocked
unconscious.
Immediately, the questions began. The
Sheppards had a dog, Koko. Why hadnt
Koko raised the alarm? Police found no sign
of forced entry. But in 1954, it was hardly
unusual for the entry door to be unlocked.
The Sheppards guests, the Aherns, couldnt
remember if Marilyn locked it behind them.
Where was Sams T shirt? Maybe the man I
saw needed one. I don't know," Sheppard replied. Finally, why had Sheppard called his
friend, Houk, instead of police?
Sheppards statement to Houk - "Someone should do something for Marilyn-"
seemed disingenuous. Sam was a surgeon.
He certainly knew there was nothing anyone
on earth could do for her.
In the days following the murder, the
Sheppard home became a popular local attraction, with cars lined up outside for blocks.
Meanwhile, Sam was undergoing intensive
questioning by police about a pretty lab tech
he had known in California, Susan Hayes.
Sheppard denied being anything more than
friends with Hayes. Unknown to Sheppard,
Hayes had already admitted their affair.The
Cleveland Press newspaper abandoned any
pretense of objectivity. Why Isn Sheppard
In Jail? a July 10th headline demanded. By
10:30 that evening, he was.
Sheppards trial began on October 18,
1954.Becuase of Sheppards prominence and
the salaciousness of the lovers triangle, the
trial was bathed in publicity. A hellish roar
went up whenever Sheppard was brought
in to the courtroom, with reporters peppering the accused with questions ranging from
what he ate for breakfast to his prospects for
an acquittal. Fred Drankin, the arresting officer, was called to the stand.
Q. Did you ask Sam whether one or two
men attacked him?
A. I asked him and he said he did not
know.
Q. Did you ask him if he could identify
his attacker?
A. He said all he could recall about the
man upstairs was that he wore something
white on the upper portion of his body.
Q. Did you ask him why he didn't drown
when he was rolling in the waves on the
beach?
A. He said he believed he survived because his head was toward the beach.
Q. What did he say happened to his
T-shirt?
A. He said he didn't know.
Q. How did he explain the finding of his
watch and key chain in a bag on the grounds?
A. He didn't know.

ney Bill Corrigan:

A. I learned, that from such a light it
was possible from halfway up the stairs to
look into the bedroom and make out the upper portion of the bed and see a man standing there if he was wearing a white shirt. But
when a man with a dark shirt stood by the
bed he could not be seen....
A. I felt he was a very capable doctor.
He was always cool, calm, collected, and
even-tempered. In all the time I knew him I
never saw him become angry....
Q. Although you were the man who arrested Sam for murder, you still kept looking
for the murderer?
A. We continued to make an investigation of the case.
Under questioning by the prosecution
Susan Hayes admitted the two had clandestinely met In automobiles and in the apartment above the Fairview clinic.
The hammer blow to Sheppards defense came when Coroner Sam Gerber testified that the murder weapon had been A
surgical instrument.
The door swung shut behind the 13th
(alternate) juror on December 17, 1954.In
the days which followed, Dr. Joseph E. Murray performed the first living donor kidney
transplant at Hingham Hospital in Boston. In
a compromise verdict aimed at sparing Sheppard the electric chair, the jury convicted him
of second degree murder.
In 1966, Sheppards new attorney, F.
Lee Bailey, petitioned the U.S. Supreme
Court for a new trial citing the massive pretrial publicity. Bailey, a former Marine, had
a taste for high-living, fast jets, Dunhills and
high-priced rot-gut. Sheppard was granted a
retrial-but not because of the publicity which
permeated the first trial. Sheppard was granted a new trial because the judge had opined
to newspaper columnist Dorothy Kilgallen
that Sheppard was guilty as hell thereby
abandoning any pretense of impartiality.
At the second trial, Bailey pinned down
Gerber about the murder weapon.
BAILEY: (Concerning the bloody imprint in the pillow, which Gerber suggested
at the 1954 trial was "a surgical instrument")
Well, now, Dr. Gerber, just what kind of surgical instrument do you see here?(pointing to
photo of bloody pillow)
GERBER: I'm not
sure.
BAILEY:
Would
it be an instrument you
yourself have handled?
GERBER: I don't
know if I've handled one
or not.
BAILEY: Of course,
you have been a surgeon, have you, doctor?

GERBER: No.
BAILEY: Do you have such an instrument back at your office?
GERBER: (Shakes head no.)
BAILEY: Have you seen such an instrument in any hospital, or medical supply
catalogue, or anywhere else, Dr. Gerber?
GERBER: No, not that I can remember.
BAILEY: Tell the jury, doctor, where
you have searched for the instrument during
the last twelve years.
GERBER: Oh, I have looked all over
the United States.
BAILEY: And you didn't describe this
phantom impression as a surgical instrument
just to hurt Sam Sheppard's case, did you
doctor? You wouldn't do that, would you?
GERBER: Oh no. Oh no.
The prosecution offered no motive or
history of domestic violence. The states
strongest argument for conviction was esoteric. Twenty-seven times. Is it a burglar or
an enraged husband?
On November 16, 1966, Dr. Sam went
free. The TV series The Fugitive, based
loosely on the Sheppard case, finally had an
ending.
If Sheppard didnt kill Marilyn, who
did? Richard Eberling emerged as a likely
suspect. Eberling was a window-washer
hired by the Sheppards. His comments about
Marilyns manner of dress and appearance
suggest a latent attraction. In 1958, Eberling
was arrested for theft from one of his clients.
A cocktail ring belonging to Marilyn Sheppard, wads of cash, and jewelry were found
in his possession. At that time, police, played
an audacious bluff, asking Eberling why his
blood was present in the Sheppard home. Eberling responded with a story about severing
his hand on a broken piece of glass. The results of a lie-detector test were inconclusive.
Eberling died of pneumonia while serving
a life sentence for the murder of a wealthy
widow, Ethel May Durkin.
Sheppard raised eyebrows when he
married the half-sister of Nazi propaganda
Minister Joseph Goebels, Magda. The marriage ended in divorce. In 1969, he became a
professional wrestler The killer.
Sam died of liver failure on April 6,
1970, his brilliant life cut short by alcoholism.
He denied his guilt to his dying breath.

Southern Maryland Youth Choir

(SMYChoir) Announces Inaugural Season
Thursday, July 3

By Susan Waterstreet Glauner

SMYChoir Press Release
The Southern Maryland Youth Choir (SMYChoir) is
pleased to announce its inaugural season, slated to begin September 2014. The choir will be for singers grades 2 8 and divided into two tiersone for elementary students and one for
middle school students. The choir will welcome singers with
little-to-no musical background, although those interested are
asked to audition so that directors may gauge the musical potential and motivation of each participant.
Krystal McCoy of St. Marys County, envisioned a youth
choir for this area, which was previously a nonexistent opportunity for younger children. McCoy was very familiar with
opportunities for adults and older students, as she directs St.
Maries Musica, a select community choir based in Southern
Maryland, and also the Southern Maryland Encore Chorale
at Asbury in Solomons. Additionally, she is an adjunct faculty member at the College of Southern Maryland where she
teaches music appreciation and conducts the CSM Chorale.
McCoy began talking with peers about starting a childrens choir, and her idea quickly took hold. McCoy became
acquainted with Susan Bisson Lambert of Park Hall, who is
the current secretary of the Southern Maryland Youth Orchestra (SMYOrch). SMYOrch, a youth orchestra for grades
6-12 in the tri-county area, just performed its third concert
in May. Lambert knew the SMYOrch Board of Directors was
well-equipped and interested in providing more musical opportunities for children in our area. The idea was pitched in
January 2014, and the SMYChoir became a reality. I am
delighted to find an organization willing to support a youth
choir in Southern Maryland, says McCoy.
Julia Nichols, founder and president of SMYOrch, says
of SMYChoir, I am excited to expand our organization to
include other youth performance groups. I believe that participating with peers in a music group provides a fun, learning
and team-building experience unlike any other.
SMYChoir has selected two directors for the program,
Laurel Dietz of California and Lori Beth Sink of Patuxent
River.
Laurel Dietz is the Supervisor of Instruction for Fine
Arts for St. Marys County Public Schools. Ms. Dietz is a
1996 graduate of Leonardtown High School. After graduating from high school, Ms. Dietz continued her studies at St.
Marys College of Maryland where she majored in piano under the guidance of Ms. Eliza Garth. Before graduating in
2000 with a Bachelor of Arts in Music, Ms. Dietz participated
in the college orchestra, jazz ensemble, and choir. She earned
her Masters of Science in Human Resource Development:
Educational Leadership from Towson University in 2010.
Ms. Dietz enjoyed a stay at Leonardtown High School as
the interim choral director before accepting her first teaching
position at Hollywood Elementary School, where she taught
general music, as well as directed the band and chorus for
two years. Ms. Dietz next enjoyed a stay at Great Mills High
School as the choral director. Her choral groups were consistently recognized at the state level for superior performances.
Dietz loves to perform throughout the community. She
is an original member of Patuxent Voices, a local womens

a cappella singing ensemble.

She currently holds the position of director as well as
member, singing alto. She
is thrilled to be directing the
Southern Maryland Youth
Choir. Guiding children in
their musical growth brings
me so much joy! I am thrilled to have the opportunity to once
again direct a chorus of children, says Dietz.
The groups other director, Lori Beth Sink, moved to
Maryland in 2011 and gratefully began her first elementary
school teaching job of teaching general music and chorus at
Lettie Marshall Dent Elementary School. The Sink family
most recently moved here from the state of Oklahoma, where
Mrs. Sink spent two years teaching middle and high school
music.
Sink studied piano and voice throughout college, and
she holds a Bachelors of Music Education from Furman University of Greenville, South Carolina. Her Masters of Music
Performance in Choral Conducting is from Florida State University of Tallahassee, Florida. She sang with many choirs
such as the Furman Singers and the Florida State University
Chamber Choir and was able to travel on European and U.S.
Concert tours and with ensembles such as the Boston Pops.
She began her own music education in piano and chorus in
the state of North Carolina, through programs like NC Governors School and NC Honors Chorus.
Sink continues to enjoy teaching and playing the piano,
especially as an accompanist. As for singing, she is also a
member and past director of Patuxent Voices. I am excited
for the opening season of the Southern Maryland Youth Choir
and cant wait to start forming relationships and memories
through song, says Sink.
SMYChoir auditions will be held in September 2014.
Interested musicians should visit www.smychoir.org for updated information throughout the summer.

dedication to hard work, safety and security is bringing even more jobs
and economic opportunities to Southern Maryland. Like the ones at
Dominions Cove Point LNG project.
In fact, during the three-year period when it will be built, Dominions

Cove Point project will produce thousands of construction jobs. And once
in operation, it will create 75 high-paying permanent positions, as well
as provide a long-term revenue stream. Calvert County will receive, on
average, an additional $40 million a year in the rst ve years the project
is in operation.
So take a look around. Because when you do, youll see people taking
care of our environment, taking care of our country and taking care of
each other. We call it Maryland pride.
