Celebrating the Arcs Longest Full-Time Employee
By Crista Dockray
Staff Writer
Mary Jane Smith is the longest full-time employee and the daughter-in-law to the first employee of the Arc of Southern Maryland. She has
been working with the Arc of Southern Maryland since 1978, a full 37 years.
You cant tell the story of the Arc without
Mary Jane, said Nkeshi Free, Development and
Public Relations Manager at the Arc.
Smith has been in Maryland all of her life, but
moved to Calvert County when she started high
school in 1965.
Smith started at the Arc as a part-time van
driver in 1978, picking up and dropping off
the clients of the Arc, which at the time was in
Mount Hope.
After five years, she started full time as the
transportation coordinator.
Smith hopped around a few other jobs within
the agency before landing as the property manager in the mid-80s. This was her job for the next
25 years.
Smith held many responsibilities as the property manager. She took care of all the homes in
all three counties, which grew to be around 30
properties.
If a house was purchased to be used as a group
home, Smith went in and brought it up to code.
She would renovate the house, fix what needed
to be repaired and bring the house to a standard
that the clients from the Arc would be safe and
comfortable living within.
After the house was brought up to code, it was
Smiths responsibility for the general upkeep of
the house. This meant painting walls, buying
new furniture, carpets, appliances, etc. and writing the budget every year to get these needs in
order.
In her care was also the fleet of vehicles.
Among all of these responsibilities, she still
found time to serve on the safety committee.
Last October, Smith took over her current job
as the Quality Assurance Specialist. Although
she still takes care of the homes, it is in a different manner.
Smith goes out to all of the homes and look
for issues that licensing would catch. This means
keeping program books up to date, making sure
the clients goals are met and overall insuring
that the clients are being treated fairly.
Smith also organizes the emergency equipment in the houses, like shelter-in-place kit and
first aid kits, and does emergency preparedness
drills in all of the homes.
She still takes care of the vehicles, which now
total to 23 vans, and teaches defensive driving.
Smith believes that her biggest accomplishment is taking care of the clients and their homes
and making them what they are today. She describes the homes as clean, top-notch houses,
with beautiful furniture.
They live in a well-kept home, she said.
Smith says she has stayed with the Arc for so
long because of the people she has met along the
way.
The people, absolutely the people. I love
working for them, and doing things for them and
making things better for them. Thats it in a nutshell, Smith said.
In her spare time Smith enjoys spending time
with her husband Ron Smith, who has his own insurance business in Huntingtown. Together they
love to go boating, go on cruises, take vacations,
and spend time with their seven grandchildren.

Crime
Juvenile Struck By
Lusby Man Sentenced In
St. Marys Sex Offense Vehicle In Prince Frederick
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
A U.S. District Court Judge sentenced
a convicted sex offender to 15 years in
federal prison this week for attempting to
entice a minor to have sex with him.
Nicholas Edward Seskar, 41, of Lusby
must also submit to lifetime supervision as
one of the terms of his sentence, according
to information from the U.S. Attorneys
Office.
Federal authorities stated that between
March 23 and April 2 he used the Facebook social media site to communicate
with an undercover police officer posing
as a juvenile female named Tiffany who
purported to be 15 years old.
The undercover officer was a member
of the St. Marys County Sheriffs Office.
During a period of a little more than a
week Seskar stated in graphic detail the
kinds of sex acts he wanted to perform on
Tiffany in his online posts, federal authorities stated.
Seskar eventually told Tiffany he

wanted to meet to have sex and even told
the undercover officer that he had had sex
with a 15-year-old girl almost a decade
ago.
When Seskar arrived at a meeting place
April 2 he was arrested by sheriffs office
deputies.
Back in 2006 Seskar admitted to having
sex with a 15-year-old girl when he was
twice the victims age, federal authorities
stated. He pleaded to the charge of thirddegree sex offense and received a sentence
of three years in prison08
which was suspended down to just 18
months served in the county detention
center.
Upon his release from prison, Seskar
must also register as a lifetime sex offender in the place he resides, works and
even attends education classes under the
Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act.

December is
Designated Driver Month
How will you get home after your holiday party?
On December 15, 2015 at approximately 1458 hours members of the

Calvert County Sheriffs Office Patrol Bureau and Crash Reconstruction
Team responded to the area of Radio
Drive and South Solomons Island
Road, Prince Frederick, Maryland for
the report of a serious motor vehicle
crash involving a pedestrian.
Preliminary investigation revealed
a 2013 Chevy Sonic was traveling
Southbound on Solomons Island Road
in the area of Radio Drive. The vehicle was in the right turn lane for West
Dares Beach Road. Traffic in Lanes
1 and 2 were both stopped when a 14
year old female juvenile attempted
to cross all lanes of traffic from the
North Side of Solomons Island Road.
The juvenile was struck by the Chevy
Sonic when she entered the turn lane.
The juvenile impacted the 2013 Chevy
Sonic on the drivers side front panel.
For a safer holiday season, here are a few simple reminders:
Plan ahead: Whenever you plan to consume alcohol,

designate your sober driver before going out and give that
person your keys.
If youre impaired, have someone call a taxi or a sober
friend or family member to get you home safely.
Promptly report drunk drivers by calling 9-1-1.
If you know someone who is about to drive impaired or ride
with an impaired driver, take their keys and help them
make other arrangements to get to where they need to go
safely.
Do not make alcohol the focus of your holiday parties.
If you are hosting a party, make sure your guests have a
Designated Driver.

Press Release from Calvert County
Sheriffs Office
Gone But Never Forgotten

Jan Messick got the idea for her tree called
Gone but Never Forgotten in a dream. After
having a conversation with her husband one evening about sponsoring a tree at the 27th Annual
Festival of Trees, Ms. Messick didnt know what
she was going to do until she woke up the next
morning with an idea she dreamed about - she
would create a tree in memory of loved ones lost.
She even knew what she was going to call it and
who she needed to talk to about making it happen.
Ms. Messick, who owns Tax and Accounting
Services, started contacting her friends, family,
and clients to see if they would be interested in
purchasing a commemorative ornament to represent their loved one, and the response was overwhelmingly positive. She asked for a $10 donation to cover the cost of sponsoring her tree. It
didnt take long once word spread about what she
was doing. She purchased the ornaments and the
decorations to personalize each one (stickers and
other small doodads) and got to work printing out
photos and names on cardstock and decorating
the ornaments with items that meant something
to each person who died. She ended up with a
tree that represented 76 people in the community
and abroad. All the ornaments will be given to
the family members who ordered them. One ornament will make its way all the way to Australia!
The response to her idea has been positive, and
Ms. Messick believes that she has even received
appreciation from those who have passed. She
has been involved with the Festival of Trees since
2008 when Calvert Hospice helped care for her
mother. She and many other community members
are sad to see such a long running event end, but

they are hopeful that Calvert Hospice will replace
it with something that continues the tradition of
honoring loved ones during the holiday season.

israel/why.php3) writes about the difference between
Holiday and Holy Day. A Holy Day is a major religious
festival, viewed as especially holy; whereas a holiday
is a day of freedom from labor; day set aside for leisure
and recreation.
Expressions of positive wishes often occur this time
of year from formal to personal.
Holiday is almost always used as it has no real religious context any more (and we here in America are
big on being non-secular). In general, holy day is used
only in a strictly religious context -- for example, when
writing about church, or the laity. It can get confusing in
regards to those holidays which are holy days: Christmas, Chanukah, Easter, Rosh Hashana etc. Ill add Easter to that list of Holy Days as Christians consider that
day to be the holiest of Holy Days.
Remember hearing some say the intention is as much
if not more important than the message itself? Be not
surprised to hear me say Merry Christmas as that is an
expression based upon my faith in delivering a message
of Good Tidings, Peace on Earth, and Good Will to Everyone. Such a positive message is freely given regardless of the recipients faith or lack thereof.
Yet, Im just as pleased to receive Holy Day or Holiday
greetings from individuals whose faith is different than
my own. For example, should someone wish me Happy
Chanukah, I typically say thank you. See? No offense
intended in the delivery of the message; hence no offense taken in receipt.
Far too long, societal influence beat upon those who
express a positive religious based message under the
thought control means of Political Correctness. This upcoming election season, we may be seeing a rejection
of Political Correctness emerge as the quench for Freedom and Liberty still yearns in the hearts and minds of
humans.
As many go about to various holiday events, prepare
for holiday gatherings, conduct various holiday rituals
developed over the years; take a few moments to remember during this holiday season there are also Holy Days;
and some choose to express their belief.
Your Calvert County government will continue providing services to our citizens throughout this holiday
season while closing some days enabling staff to share
their holidays and Holy Days with their families or however they choose.
I wish you a Merry Christmas and happy holiday
season.

Thank You Calvert

Memorial Hospital
By Crista Dockray
Staff Writer
As the holidays come along,
workers from a variety of different jobs have to give up time with
their friends and family in order to
provide vital public services to their
community. Whether its EMTs, police officers, fire fighters, business
owners, retail workers or hospital
employees, they all have their own

story to tell.
This year we shine the spotlight on
Calvert Memorial Hospital, which
has a full staff 24/7 in order to keep
the community healthy and happy.
Here are only a few of the many we
would like to thank.
Photos by Crista Dockray
Wendy Dalrymple
Occupation: Telecommunications Supervisor
Years with Calvert Memorial: 10
Shift: Christmas Eve- 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Dalrymple will be spending Christmas Day with
all of her family who will come over and enjoy a day
together.
She has spent many years working on both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, so she is happy to be able
to do this.
On Christmas Day, some of her family members will
include her four children and her six grandchildren.
Dalrymple says she does all of her shopping on Christmas Eve, and because she has to work, her presents will be limited this year.
Audrey Gross
Occupation: Dietary
Shift: Christmas Eve- 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
Gross job is to go upstairs from the cafeteria to take
food orders of patients and make sure they get what
they need. She does this multiple times a day.
Gross sister will be working with her on Christmas
Eve and her son will be with friends. Her grandchildren will be coming to visit her on both days.
Gross is happy to work at the hospital because she
says, This hospital is my family.
Sandy Lindquist
Occupation: Telecommunications Operator
Shift: Christmas Day- 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Lindquist will be working on Christmas Day, but
she has volunteered to do it.
There are some people that have small children and
they need to see that excitement from their kids, said
Lindquist.
Lindquist said she and her family will be doing their
Christmas morning at 4 a.m. so nobody has to wait for
her and she can watch her children and grandchildren
open presents.
Lindquists daughter and husband will be cooking
Christmas dinner so that she has a meal to enjoy when coming home from work.
Lindquist is on call for Christmas Eve, meaning she may have to work, but she
says she doesnt mind.
I enjoy my job, she said.
Matthew Christianson
Occupation: ER Doctor
Shift: Christmas Eve- 9 p.m. to 7 a.m.
Dr. Christianson works the overnight shift every
Wednesday and Thursday. Unfortunately, this means that
he misses Thanksgiving every year, and since Christmas
Eve falls on a Thursday this year, his shift will bring him
to Christmas morning at the hospital.
You kind of get used to planning to celebrate things
on different days, said Christianson, adding that his
family now celebrates Thanksgiving on Fridays instead.
Christianson said he plans to go home after his shift,
open a few presents with his wife and his nine-year-old daughter, sleep for a few
hours then eat Christmas dinner.
He said that he will miss Christmas Eve dinner with friends that are in town,
but this is a normal happening as he has worked many Christmas Eves and Days.
Every few years Christianson said he does try to take off during the holidays to
go visit his family that lives out of state.
Betty Martin
Occupation: Dietary
Shift: Christmas Eve- 3 a.m. to 11 a.m.
Martin works with the Meals on Wheels program
within the hospital, serving areas like the daycare
and the nursing home. Her shift starts early in the
morning on Christmas Eve, when you are still rolling over in the bed, Martin said.
On Christmas Day Martin will be spending time
with her mother and her sister, but has no plans for
Christmas Eve.
Lisa Curl
Occupation: X-ray Tech
Lisa has been with Calvert Memorial for 13 years
but has been doing x-rays for 27. She will be working on Christmas Eve into the evening and plans on
spending Christmas day with her family members.
Although her shift takes her into the evening on
Christmas Eve, she says, I love being here.

Tomorra Ramlings
Occupation: Dietary
Shift: Christmas Eve and Christmas Day- 5
a.m. to 1 p.m.
Ramlings and her family will be getting together

at her house after her shift on Christmas Day is over.
Although Ramlings is the only one of her family
members that works on Christmas and Christmas Eve,
her family made sure they planned the get together so
that she would be there too.
Ramlings says she works Christmas Eve and Christmas Day every other year, so this is a normal occurrence for the family.
On Christmas day Ramlings will be meeting family members, including her
two nieces and their husbands and her grandchildren.
She says she has most of her Christmas shopping done so she is not worried
about working on Christmas Eve.
She wishes everybody a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Heidi Crouch
Occupation: ER Nurse
Years with Calvert Memorial: 2.5
Every year Crouch and the employees at Calvert Memorial pick and choose which holidays they will work
and which holidays they will take off. This year Heidi
worked Thanksgiving and will work most of New Years
weekend in order to be able to spend Christmas Day
with her family, which includes her husband, a 3-yearold girl and a 1-year-old boy.
Crouch, however, must work on Christmas Eve.
It is always hard knowing that you are missing out on
a little bit of your kids childhood, Crouch said.
Not only that, but Dec. 24 is her birthday as well.
Although Crouch works until 7 p.m., she plans to go home and eat dinner with
her family. She will then spend Christmas day with her husbands family who is
coming down to celebrate.
About working on the holiday, Crouch says, We have our family away
from home, which is the rest of our staffeveryone really is a family here. Its
wonderful.
Pamela Magruder
Occupation: Telecommunications Operator
Thomas Mackall
Occupation: Lead Floor Tech
Magruder plans on spending her Christmas with

her family. Although she has worked many Christmas
Eves and recognizes that it is just part of the job, she
says, I wouldnt mind being home because I could
be home with the grandkids, because they are out of
school, she said.
Mackall says on Christmas Eve he does not have

any plans because he has to work, but he says on
Christmas Day he will spend time with his family
and friends and this will be his time to have all of
his fun.

John Benson
Johnny Bowen, Jr., 79
In the early morning
hours of Dec. 14 John Benson Johnny Bowen, Jr.
passed away from an illness
that had plagued him for
almost a year. One month
prior to his passing he was
finally diagnosed with ALS
(Lou Gehrigs disease). As most of you
know, ALS is a neurologically degenerative disease, with the onset up to five
years or more prior to death. As tiredness and weakness became a part of his
life he was determined to keep going
and didfor a very long time. Not once
did he ever complain.
Johnny was a man with a heart that
had no boundaries. He made everyone
feel as if they were his special friend
his only child. No one was ever more
important than who he was with at the
moment. And, if there were more than
one of his children, or more than one
of his friends around, no one ever felt
over-shadowed by anyone. Johnny had
the capacity to love and give freely and
equally to all.
He had a short marriage to Suzanne
Latimer, which produced three children
but ended in divorce.
He found true love and friendship with
Barbara. Together they forged a bond
blended their families and marched for-
ward with the thought mine are yours

and yours are mine. It worked. Their
interests were the same. They loved
to laugh. They shared and cared. He
called her my good girl. She made
him smile. She was the love of his life.
They were a unit.
His work originally entailed working as a mechanic, then the excavation
arena as well as commercial fishing and
crabbing. One of his special interests
was the garden he prepared each year.
He was such a competitorparticularly
with his father, to produce the first red
tomato. He was a man that could do
most anything.
He was born on March 24, 1936 in
Prince Frederick, Md. to Benson and
Virginia H. Bowen. They preceded him
in death, as well as his stepson, Mark D.
Robertson.
Johnny is survived by his wife Barbara E. Bowen, his children, Monica
Kilsheimer, John Benson Bowen III,
Candis Bowen, Milton Robertson,
Mitchell Robertson and Matthew Robertson as well as ten grandchildren and
nine great grandchildren and sister Barbara Bowen Elliott.
The family received friends at the
Rausch Funeral Home, P.A., 20 American Ln., Lusby, Md. on Saturday, Dec.
19, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. A service celebrating his life followed at 1 p.m. Interment was private.
In lieu of flowers, contributions may
be made in his memory to Calvert Hos-
pice, P.O. Box 838, Prince Frederick,

Md. 20678 would be appreciated. They
were very kind to him.
Condolences to the family may be

Report Details Hours Students

Spend On Local Tests
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
A study released by the state that shows
just how much time students in all of Marylands jurisdictions spend taking locally mandated tests, excluded PARCC assessments
and any federal tests, shows that St. Marys
County students spend some of the longest
hours taking tests while in neighboring Calvert County some students spend much less.
By the time a student reaches the third
grade in St. Marys, they are spending nearly
20 hours taking classroom level tests and that
number remains steady until they reach the
sixth grade, the start of middle school.
By that time they are taking a little more
than 22 hours-worth of tests up through the
eighth grade.
In high school the hours taking tests drops
off somewhat to 21.5 hours for freshmen and
19.5 hours for sophomores and juniors.
Senior students spend just 17.5 hours taking classroom tests, the report showed.
Calvert students spend a little more time
taking tests in high school, according to the
report.
Calvert freshmen spend 19.5 hours taking tests while sophomores and juniors take
up 22.5 and 21 respectively. Calvert seniors
can expect to take 21 hours-worth of testing
as well.
But testing for Calvert middle school children is less intense than in St. Marys with all
three grades taking between just nine and 10
hours of tests in their grade levels, according

to the report.
The report was compiled by the newly
formed Maryland Testing Commission with
assistance from staff with the Maryland Department of Education in an effort to decode
whether more testing equals better student
achievement.
The data showed that there was a wide
variance in the amount of time spent on local testing. In Dorchester County students in
elementary and middle school had to endure
among the highest amounts of time taking
tests.
Students in third grade spent nearly 43
hours taking tests, while middle schoolers
spent between 34 and 36 hours taking tests.
High school students there, however, spent
just about 19 hours taking tests.
In Montgomery County, where schools are
regarded as among the best in the state, the
hours students spent taking tests were comparable in middle school and high school,
though somewhat higher, than in St. Marys.
But in Howard County, one of the most
affluent counties with equally well regarded
schools, students in nearly every grade level
had almost no testing compared to many
other counties.
In Howard middle school children spend
less than six hours each year taking tests and
high school students spend even less time,
just two to three hours, on testing.

Time to Think About Your Garden!

With the wacky weather this winter, you might have volunteer cilantro
sprouting in your garden and are still
eating broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage
and greens! Usually, this is the quiet
time of year for gardeners when you
are perusing seed catalogs and planning your layout. Regardless, it is a
great time of year to take advantage
of the Garden Smarter series hosted at
Calvert Library and led by the Calvert
County Master Gardeners. The first session is Saturday, Jan. 9 at 10 a.m. at Calvert Library Prince Frederick and Lucy
Muehleisen will be teaching Companion Planting. No, thats not growing
your own soul matebut it is creating

synergy for your plants. You will learn
about positive symbiotic crop relationships, how to keep insect pests away
while attracting beneficial insects, how
to enhance the health of garden soil and
generally how to grow great tasting vegetables. Each Garden Smarter workshop
is free to the public and there are often
wonderful giveaways. For instance, on
Saturday, Jan. 23 at Calvert Library
Prince Frederick from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.,
there will be a seed swap. Whether you
saved seeds from your garden, have leftovers from seed packets, or are looking
for seeds, the 2nd Annual Calvert Seed
Swap is the place to be!Plants and cuttings welcome. Heirloom seeds especially welcome. Please be sure to carefully label your gathered seeds with as
much detail as you can. Back by popular
demand, Bill Santiff will host a workshop on how to build an Herb Spiral on
January 30. This is just the first month
of a year of great workshops held in
various locations throughout the county.
Check out the library website (calvert.
lib.md.us/gardensmarter.html) for the
whole schedule and put your favorites
on the calendar.
If you are growing your own food, you

are probably a foodie and possibly a locavore so you might also be interested
in joining Calvert Eats Local. You can

of Interstellar

Choosing a Nursing Home
Choosing to put a loved one into a nursing home is a heart
rending decision for most people. When failing health or dementia demand that someone needs care day and night, a nursing
home may be the only option. Some ways to make sure the facility you choose gives the best care are: visit the Medicare website
which shows which nursing homes are approved by them; visit
the facility; ask about staff-to-resident ratio; trust your instincts;
stay involved after loved ones are moved into the nursing home.
