Chopticon Grad Medical Cannabis Dispensary

To Open Locally This Fall
Could Be Next U.S. By Guy Leonard

Surgeon General
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
Dr. Jerome Adams, who currently serves
as the chief health ofcial for the State of In-
diana, and who is a 1992 graduate of Chop-
ticon High School, has been nominated by
President Donald J. Trump to be the next
Surgeon General of the United States.
Truly honored at nomination by [Presi-
dent Donald Trump for U.S. Surgeon Gener-
al, Adams recently stated in on-line social
media. Looking forward to improve health
in the U.S.
Adams, whose family still lives in Me-
chanicsville, is a graduate of the University
of Maryland, Baltimore County with de-
grees in biochemistry and biopsychology.
He earned his medical degree at the Indi-
ana University School of Medicine and also
earned a masters degree in public health
from University of California at Berkley.
As the Indiana State Health Commis-
sioner, Adams has been heavily involved in
combating a serious opioid and heroin abuse
crisis there.
He is an advocate of needle exchange
programs, getting treatment to drug addicts
and educating the public about the dangers
of opiate addiction and strict monitoring of

Staff Writer
Charlie Mattingly, owner of South-
ern Maryland Relief LLC, says his plans
to open a medical marijuana dispen-
sary in Mechanicsville in September are
on schedule.
After working for the past ve years to
open the dispensary, for which they have
been pre-approved by the states medical
cannabis committee, he claimed his would
be the rst to open in the state.
Weve pursued all three licenses, Mat-
tingly told The County Times Wednesday.
We only won the dispensary license at
this time but next year were condent
well be able to get all three.
The state offers three licenses for grow-
ing, processing and dispensing the canna-
bis, he said.
Mattingly, a farmer who lives in Abell,
said he was prompted to go into the busi-
ness after becoming better educated about
medical marijuana and because he had a
friend who had a tumor in her stomach
that was killing her.
It was a wasting syndrome, he said.
At rst she was getting the cannabis ille-
gally but it saved her life and now shes
100 percent cancer free.
The product he plans to offer at the dis-
pensary will be in an extracted form, with
none of the plant available for smoking,
he said.
Extracts can take the shape of pill, oils
or dermal patches, Mattingly said.
The medical side is totally different,
he said of cannabis. I never touched it in
my life because I thought it was bad.
I found out the truth about it.
The state has pursued medical marijua-
na as a method of reducing pain for chron-
ically ill patients; Mattingly said many are
seeking an alternative to prescription opi-
oids which can be highly addictive.
What we are doing is giving safe ac-
cess, Mattingly said. You have to have
a [state supplied] card to gain access to
the facility.
He explained the facility, to be located
on Three Notch Road, would only be
available to customers with a card that
showed their medical records had been
examined and that they had a legitimate
ailment as well as a recommendation from
an approved physician that they be al-
lowed the medical cannabis.
People wont take this to get high,
Mattingly said. Theyll take it so they
can function.

Community Mapping Lexington Park, California
Project Beginning Soon Named Budget Busters
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
The familiar refrain that there is noth-
ing for young people to do in St. Marys
County, said community activist Marcia
Greenberg, is the reason 32 young people
will be surveying the community starting
late this month, just to see if it is true.
The community mapping project, in
partnership with the Tri-County Youth
Services Bureau, aims to find just what
resources are available to young people
here and answer, at least in part, whether a
community center focused on youth in the
heart of Lexington Park is a viable option.
The community center is already part
of the countys Capital Improvement Plan
(CIP) in 2022.
Basically, its field research, Green-
berg told The County Times. Its going
to help answer the question What do we
have for young people and their families
and what do we not have?
The surveyors will go door-to-door to
community organizations to assess avail-
able resources for youth activities, be they
recreational or social, and also talk to peo-
ple as they patronize certain businesses

about what they would like to see made
available to youth.
The survey will last six weeks, Green-
berg said, and result in a database of
community resources and also peoples
thoughts about the state of the amenities
available in the county.
Its not just taking information but its
a thought engagement process, Green-
berg said. It may turn out we have a lot
more going on than we know, so it would
be much cheaper to put out information
about that than to spend money on a new
community center.
Greenberg, who moved to St. Marys in
2003, said that the idea of a community
center had come up from time to time but
assessing whether it was really necessary
had never actually happened.
In the past, nothing seems to have
moved the dial, Greenberg said.At least here a boost. Higher taxes also leave them
we will have tried something that had a
meaningful purpose.

Southern Maryland agriculture has un-
dergone major transformations in the past
two decades. Across the region, farmers
have transitioned away from the 30- year-
old tradition of growing tobacco into new
agricultural ventures. With that change has
come new needs; one of them being new
infrastructure.
On June 28th, the Southern Maryland
Agricultural Development Commission
(SMADC) announced a new program
called the Regional Agricultural Project
(RAP), which is poised to meet that need.
Weve listened to the feedback from
the agriculture community and under-
stand that one of the things they need is
new infrastructure, said Shelby Watson-
Hampton, director of SMADC, which
is a division of the Tri-County Council
for Southern Maryland. As farming has
changed in Southern Maryland, so have the
requirements to support the growth of the
agricultural industry.
RAP is designed to further SMADCs
mission to support farms, farmers, and the
future of agriculture in SouthernMaryland.
The intended purpose of this project is to
create economic viability for farmers and
to foster region-wide collaboration in order
to enhance and sustain Southern Mary-
lands agricultural economy. SMADC en-

An on-line money management sites
analysis of hundreds of metropolitan areas
where a six-figure income can still leave a
wage earner with little disposable income
shows that St. Marys Countys largest
population center is near the top of the list.
According to MagnifyMoneys on-line
blog the California and Lexington Park
area ranks six out of 10 metropolitan areas
where a household can earn $100,000 and
still find it difficult to make ends meet.
High earners in California/Lexing-
ton Park, will spend a fair chunk of their
earnings on transportation 23 percent
of their take-home pay, the blog reports.
After housing, transportation is the most
expensive line item in their budget. Still,
they benefit from relatively low housing
expenses compared to the other metros
in the bottom 10, which gives households
would be reasonable expenditures on stu-
with less take-home pay.
The blog post was disseminated by Del.
Matt Morgan in one of his regular mes-
sages to constituents.
The Washington, D.C. and Alexandria,
Va. areas rank at the top spot where an in-
Farm Bureau, Soil Conservation District,
Economic Development/county govern-
ment and University of Maryland Exten-
sion, and also with area farmers so that
together, funds can be used to strengthen
cross county relationships and to bolster
the entire farmingcommunity.
The project application is open to all
five counties of Southern Maryland:
Anne Arundel, Calvert, Charles, Prince
Georges and St. Marys. Project funds are
intended to benefit the existing agricul-
ture community and create seed money
for agriculture-related projects needed in
those counties. Each county may request
between $20,000 to $25,000 for a specific
project. Examples of projects may include a
commercial kitchen, farmers market, meat
lockers, cold storage, etc. Ineligible project
examples include, but are not limited to:
one-time events, marketing and promotion,
plant stock, livestock, etc.(Photo insert:

come of $100,000 can be drained quickly
on just basic living expenses, according to
the on-line analysis.
The MagnifyMoney analysis factored
a two-income household of two adults
and one child supported by the $100,000
income, or $8,333 a month; analysts then
created a budget of monthly expenses and
subtracted those expenses from after-tax
income.
The on-line analysis showed that with
$6,104 in after-tax income, $5,727 was
used on basic expenses, leaving $287 for
remaining income.
In total, 95 percent of the assumed-
familys income was used on monthly
expenses.
The on-line blogs analysis also as-
sumed that a family would put aside 5 per-
cent of income for savings, and that there
dent debt payments and entertainment.
Basic necessities included housing,
food, transportation and child care, ac-
cording to the report.

tions and agencies as evidence of consen-
sus and collaboration. Counties may also
choose to combine their applications and
funding requests for a collaborative project.
I believe the region has a cohesiveness
that will lend itself well to a project of this
nature. The farmers in Southern Mary-
land have a strong tradition of working
together. Whether it was in the fields and
auction barns of the tobacco era, during the
buy-out, or in rebuilding our agricultural
industry, weve progressed as a commu-
nity. I look forward to seeing what regional
farmers, agri-businesses, and agricultural
support agencies will create with this op-
portunity, Hampton said.
SMADC will hold a pre-deadline meet-
ing for eligible entities interested in apply-
ing for the RAP on July 21, 2017 at 9 a.m.
at the SMECO Auditorium in Hughesville,
Maryland. The deadline to apply for the
RAP is September 29, 2017 at 4 p.m. EST.
Notification of grant recipients will be
made by October 31, 2017 and funds will
be dispersed by December1,2017.

The Governors Ofce of Minority

The name change will clarify to the pub-

small businesses and helps connect these
businesses to a broad spectrum of pro-

nes our administration, said Governor

businesses play a critical role in creating
jobs and growing our states economy
and we remain committed to creating a
culture that is both business-friendly and
focused on expanding opportunity for all
Marylanders. Marylands 580,000 small
businesses account for 50 percent of our
jobs statewide. The vast majority are mi-
cro businesses, and more than 70 percent
are owned by minorities and women. This
unique demographic means that whats
good for small business is inherently good
for minority- and women-owned business-

Congressional Delegation ANNUAL
Holds Bipartisan Meeting
on the Bay
Congressman Steny H. Hoyer (Md.-05)
and Marylands bipartisan congressional del-
egation June 26 gathered in the U.S. Capitol
to review the state of the Chesapeake Bay
and the essential role that partnerships have
played in restoring the health of this national
treasure the economic heart of the region.
Participating in the meeting, in addition to
Congressman Hoyer, were: U.S. Senators
Ben Cardin and Chris Van Hollen (both
D-Md.) and Representatives Elijah Cum-
mings (Md.-07), Dutch Ruppersberger (Md.-
02), John P. Sarbanes (Md.-03), Andy Harris
(Md.-01), John K. Delaney (Md.-06), An-
thony G. Brown (Md.-04) and Jamie Raskin
(Md.-08).
While the EPA serves as the lead federal
partner, the Chesapeake Bay Program part-
nership incorporates expertise from federal
agencies such as U.S. Geological Survey
(USGS), National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA), U.S. Department
of Agriculture (USDA), National Park Ser-
vice (NPS), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
(USFWS), Department of Defense (DOD),
Department of Homeland Security (DHS)
and others. Frequent themes for the meet-
ing were that states, including Maryland,
rely greatly on these federal partners to pro-
vide important data, analysis, interpretation
and coordination, and that all of the states
throughout the Chesapeake Bay watershed
must continue working closely together as
partners.
The Chesapeake Bay is one of our na-
tions greatest natural resources, said Con-
gressman Hoyer. The health of the Bay is
critically important to communities across
Maryland, and especially in the Fifth Dis-
trict. Its important now more than ever that
we work together to prevent funding cuts
to programs that help clean up our Bay. Im
glad to join with my fellow Members of the
Maryland Delegation in reaffirming our
commitment to the Bay.
A healthy Bay means a healthy econo-
my, and neither can be advanced without a
strong federal partner. The drastic cuts to the
EPA, USDA, Army Corps and many other
agencies and programs will quickly cost
the American people as we sacrifice public
health, our national water infrastructure, and
clean air and water, said Senator Cardin.
Congress soundly rejected the recently pro-
posed cuts in federal funding to Chesapeake
Bay-related programs in the fiscal year 2017
appropriations. We must all continue work-
ing together to ensure that our Delegations
dedication to the Chesapeake Bay consis-
tently builds and never wavers.
The Chesapeake Bay is a national trea-
sure and central to our states economy
from the tourism and boating industry to wa-
termen working on the Bay. The Maryland
delegation stands together in the fight to im-
prove the health and vitality of our Bay, said
Senator Van Hollen. We will continue this
important dialogue with the many federal,
state, local, and private partners involved in
this effort, and continue to build on the im-
portant progress weve made to clean up the
Bay and preserve it for future generations.

Cardin Releases His Own Health-Care Plan

U.S. Senator Ben Cardin (D-Md.), a
member of the Senate Finance Health Care
Subcommittee, on June 27 introduced new
legislation, S. 1511, Keeping Health Insur-
ance Affordable Act, to improve the Patient
Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA).
The bill brings together several new and ex-
isting proposals that will improve the current
health care system and address Americans
concerns with high health care costs in con-
trast to the House and Senate Republican
plans that are focused solely on repeal the
ACA in order to fund massive tax breaks.
Senator Cardin has reached out to Repub-
licans and Democrats asking them to join
him in this effort that would lower the cost
of health coverage for Americans while pre-
serving essential protections and increasing
competition among insurers.
We need a clean break in Congress,
stepping away from the Republican mantra
of repeal and replace so we can focus on
improving the Affordable Care Act and not
making it worse through sabotage or star-
vation, said Senator Cardin. Our bill, the
Keeping Health Insurance Affordable Act,
provides a vehicle for both parties to start
moving in the same direction for the benefit
of the American people.
What I hear most often from constitu-
ents, health professionals and insurers is that
whatever we do must get costs under control.
It is imperative that we provide certainty to
the insurance marketplace without sacrific-
ing the minimum benefits available to all
with health insurance, whether provided
through their employer, community market-
place exchanges or Medicaid and Medicare.
We need to improve the current law, not
make it worse.

Summary: Keeping Health Insurance
Affordable Act (S. 1511)
The Keeping Health Insurance Affordable
Act (KHIA) brings together several new and
existing proposals that will improve the cur-
rent healthcare system and address Ameri-
cans concerns with high health care costs.
The legislation tackles these concerns by in-
creasing financial assistance to marketplace
enrollees, stabilizing and increasing compe-
tition in the individual market, addressing
high prescription drug prices, and integrat-
ing behavioral health services into primary
care settings to address the ongoing mental
health and opioid epidemics.
Stabilizes the Individual Market. The
Keeping Health Insurance Affordable Act
would stabilize the individual market by
providing insurers with predictability by
continuing to fund cost-sharing reductions
and by creating a permanent reinsurance
program.
Cost-Sharing Reductions. The Keeping
Health Insurance Affordable Act incorpo-
rates, Senator Jeanne Shaheens Market- enrollees in the federal and state insurance
place Certainty Act (S.1462), which would
permanently appropriate the cost-sharing
reductions. While this is unnecessary under
current law, this permanence will provide
stability for the marketplaces.
Reinsurance Program. The Keeping
Health Insurance Affordable Act incorpo-
rates Senator Tom Carpers and Senator
Tim Kaines bill, the Individual Health Mar-
ketplace Improvement Act (S.1354), which
would direct the Health and Human Services
Secretary to establish a permanent Individ-
ual Market Reinsurance Program to lower
financial risk and reduce premiums in the
individual health insurance marketplaces.
The reinsurance program would increase
stability in the individual health insurance
marketplaces by providing federal funding
to cover:
80 percent of insurance claims between
$50,000 and $500,000 from 2018-2020.
80 percent of insurance claims between
$100,000 and $500,000 starting in 2021.
The bill would also dedicate $500 mil-
lion annually for the next three years to help
states improve enrollment. Counties where
there are fewer insurers would get priority
for this funding.
Increases Financial Assistance. The leg-
islation would increase financial assistance
for middle income families by increasing
the eligibility level of those who may receive
premium tax credits to purchase insurance
on the individual market. In addition, the Senator Cardin
bill would also lower out-of-pocket costs for
middle-income households by raising the eli- the high price of prescription drugs. High

to states that implement in their Medicaid
programs an evidence based model that in-
tegrates behavioral health services in a pri-
mary care setting.
Such a model could include a Collabora-
tive Care Model, which treats patients with
common mental health disorders, such as
depression or anxiety, with help from a care
manager and a psychiatrist who acts a con-
sultant, reviewing patients progress, mak-
ing treatment recommendations and sharing
his or her expertise with the primary care
provider and care manager. Evidence-based
models that integrate behavioral health
services within a primary care setting not
only improve patient care experiences and
outcomes, they have been shown to reduce
overall health care costs.

Drew Hayes (3-3). After Quintin Berry led-
off the bottom of the first with a walk, Lew
Ford slugged a two-run homerun, putting
the Ducks up 2-0. Giovanny Alfonzo added
another to that tally in the second inning
with a solo shot of his own.
The Ducks rallied for three more in the
bottom of the third, with all of the damage
in the inning being done with two outs. Ford
got it started this time, picking up a two-out
double. Marc Krauss walked behind him,
and Elmer Reyes followed with a three-run
homerun to left field, giving the Ducks a
comfortable 6-0 lead early in the night.
The Blue Crabs were able to get on the
board in the top of the fourth, as Michael
Snyder picked up a solo homerun with one
out in the inning. Long Island answered
quickly, extending the lead back to six in the
bottom half of the inning. Back-to-back sin-
gles put two men aboard to start the inning.
After a fielders choice advanced Ruben Go-
tay to third, a wild pitch from reliever Craig
Stem allowed him toscore.
Snyder homered again for the Blue Crabs
in the top of the sixth, his 16th long ball of
Seahawks Cross Country

Seventh-year head coach Tom Fisher
has released the 2017 St. Marys College of
Maryland mens and womens cross country
schedule. This years slate features the Se-
ahawks racing at two new meets while re-
turning to two others after a brief absence.
St. Marys begins its eight-meet sched-
ule at the Baltimore Metro Meet, an eve-
ning race on the Greenspring Campus of
Stevenson University in Stevenson, Md.
The women will run a 4K course while the
mens course is 6K. This is the Seahawks
first-ever appearance at the Baltimore Metro
Meet. The Seahawks then head to the United
States Naval Academy for the Navy Invita-
tional on September 9 for the first time ever.
The Seahawks return to the Osprey Open
hosted by Stockton University (Galloway,
N.J.) for the third straight season on Septem-
ber 23 before wrapping up the ninth month

the season. The Ducks responded quickly
again, putting up two runs in the bottom of
the sixth. A walk and a single put two men
aboard with nobody out, with a balk allow-
ing Gotay to score. After a diving stop on
a two-out groundball from Angelo Songco,
the ball was thrown away allowing Alfonso
to score.
Southern Maryland looked to mount a
comeback in the seventh, putting up three
runs in the inning. A walk from Luis Alen
and a single from Edwin Garcia put two men
on with one out. Two batters later, L.J. Hoes
singled Alen to put across the first run of the
inning. Zach Wilson followed with a single,
scoring two and cutting the lead to 9-5.
The Ducks added another run in the bot-
tom of the seventh, as Krauss came around
to score after a lead-off double. The Long
Island bullpen finished the game off from
there, working back-to-back scoreless
frames to finish the 10-5 game.
The loss puts the Blue Crabs in a tie for
first place with the Lancaster Barnstormers
in the Freedom Division at the end of the
first-half of the season. Southern Maryland
has a make-up game from a rainout with
Lancaster scheduled for July 28th. The win-
ner of that game will win the first-half cham-

From Southern Maryland Blue Crabs.
The team kicks off October in Towson,
Md. at the Goucher College Cross Coun-

been absent from the Goucher Classic since
2012. St. Marys will complete the regular
season at the Hood College Open at Utica
Park (Frederick, Md.) on October 14. The
Seahawks have been a yearly participant at
the Hood Open since 2013.
St. Marys then takes two weeks to pre-

Bill Connelly and daughter caught croaker and perch at Piney Point in the Potomac.
Tackle Box Weekly
Fishing Report
Wow! We have great fishing all over in
southern Maryland waters.
Spot have move into the Patuxent and
Potomac on the oyster bars and edges of
drop offs. Spot are plentiful at Ragged
Point, Cornfield Harbor, St. Marys River,
Piney Point, and most every where else in
the Potomac. The Patuxent has a mix of
spot and white perch in Kingston Hollow,
Sandy Point, Fishing Point, Hawks Nest,
Helens Bar, and on most hard bottom all
the way to Benedict. We have not seen this
many spot since 2011. One captain reported
taking three kids out one day last week in
the Patuxent and landing 87 spot and perch
in two hours as he baited hooks and took
fish off the lines and guided the boat on
drifts near the mouth of Cuckolds creek at
Hawks nest. He was one busy guy as there
was a fish or two on at all times. Another
party reported catching big spot two at the
time at Ragged Point on a tide change last
Thursday evening, filling their coolers and
leaving them biting.
Spot were biting off the fishing pier at
Point Lookout this week in the evenings
Big perch are everywhere in St. Marys.

and night. There are bluefish off the pier
too and some rockfish. Spot, perch, croaker
and rockfish are all being caught in the
public fishing area at Piney Point at the St.
George Island Bridge.
The spot have provided plenty of food
for rockfish and eat them like candy. So,
we have stripers staying here in our area
instead of going to Baltimore (there are still
plenty up north of us too). The Potomac has
big schools of rockfish many of which are
30 or more inches weighing 8 to 10 pounds.
These fish are all around St, Clements Is-
land for trollers and chummers. Trollers
and jiggers are finding rockfish all up and
down the Potomac from Point Lookout to
Port Tobacco. Early risers are finding rock-
fish hitting top water lures in the mouth of
the Patuxent from Point Patience to Ce-
dar Point. Trollers using bucktails and no
weight in the shallows of the Patuxent are
scoring keeper and undersized rockfish at
dawn and dusk.
There are rockfish, bluefish , trout, and
spanish mackerel in the bay. Breaking fish
are now sighted daily in the Ships Chan-
nel. Jiggers have found some hefty
rock above the Point No Point
Lighthouse, finding them on their
depth finder and dropping colorful
metal jigs on them.
Catfish are roiling the waters of
the Potomac from Morgantown to
Mallows Bay. The cats are huge
and eager to bite fresh cut alewife
bait. The upper Patuxent has plen-
ty of catfish too.
Cobia are on the middle grounds
and near the Target Ship. Most
cobia seekers are still venturing
south of Smith Point for success.
But more will be here soon and we
will not have to travel so far.
Fresh water fishing is at sum-
mertime greatness. Bluegill, pick-
erel, and largemouth bass are all
pleasing fishermen in farm ponds
and at St. Marys Lake.

Special to The County Time
Hardy Fourth Different
Winner in Independence
Series Monday at Potomac
Alvey and Sutphin Split Twin RUSH Crate Mains
By Doug Watson
Contributing Writer
Budds Creek, MD- Kyle Hardy drove
to his first feature win of the season in
last Monday nights Independence Day
Summer Classic series finale at Potomac
Speedway. The win for Hardy, steering his
Rocket XR-1 no.3V, was worth $3500 and
made him the fourth different winner in
the four race series.
Hardy and Jamie Lathroum drew the
front row for the start of the 35-lap main
with Lathroum booming into the lead as
the field scattered off turn two. Lathroum
would lead until the sixth circuit when
Hardy arrived to become the second, and
final, race leader the following lap. DJ
Troutman settled into second and went
after Hardy but would have to settle for
runner-up honors as Hardy would score
his second career Potomac Late Model
win and first since the 2010 season. We
had a great race car tonight and Im glad
to get this team a win. A jubilant Hardy
stated in Potomacs victory lane. I went
into the first turn a little too hard at the
start and Jamie got by us, so I had to calm
myself down and we were able to get back
around him and get the lead back. Hardy
was quick to praise those who aided his
winning drive. Shawn and Lisa Martin,
Pancho Lawler have given me a great
opportunity. Hardy stated. They have
given us some great equipment and to get
a win here tonight is awesome. Jason Co-
vert took third with Jamie Lathroum and
10th starting Tyler Emory completing the
top-five. Heats for the 21 cars entered went
to Dale Hollidge, Troutman and Covert.
The RUSH Crate Late Models had
two events on the program. Darren Al-
vey scored his first win of the season in
the make up 20-lap event from June 16 as
he started on the pole and wired the field
aboard his Rocket no.30 to take the win
over Matt Tarbox. Were getting this car
figured out and I cant thank all the people
who help us enough for the win here to-
night. Jamie Sutphin, Jeff Pilkerton and
Darin Henderson rounded out the top-five.
In the regularly scheduled event Jamie
Sutphin started on the pole and drove to
his second win of the season behind the
wheel of his Rocket no.18. The track was
a little dry tonight, but we got to the front
first and were able to hold everyone off.
Ben Bowie, Chuck Bowie,Timmy Booth
and Mike Franklin trailed at the finish.
Heats for the 18 entries went Alvey and

Its all about workforce development,
said CSM President Dr. Brad Gottfried.
These are people who want to live in
Southern Maryland. This is where their ties
are. This agreement provides a pathway
that will have a tangible impact on South-
ern Maryland.
Because of the agreement, students
starting out in the St. Marys County Pub-
lic Schools Academy of Finance, located
at Chopticon High School in Morganza,
will have an educational pathway they can
follow that will take them from Chopti-
con to CSM to UMUC. Upon graduation,
they will have earned a bachelors degree
in business administration or manage-
ment with a minor in contract management
and acquisition, and they will be uniquely
trained for NAVAIRs needs. The agree-
ment also assures the efcient transfer of
students between colleges, including trans-
fer of credit, admissions and nancial aid
and scholarships.
Many in the community are aware of Pax
Rivers continuing need for engineers, said
NAVAIR SES 2.0 James Meade. However,
the base has another, less well-known staff-
ing decit. We have a tremendous need
for great business people. We want to bring
more local folks on board. He noted that
NAVAIR at Pax River is an acquisition
command and his ofce handles $35 billion
in contracts annually, a task that requires
plenty of savvy business people.
Its a natural t, said Superintendent
of St. Marys County Public Schools Scott
Smith. Smith said the school systems goal
is for all its graduates to be college- or ca-
reer-ready, and the newly established path-
way provides that for St. Marys County
students. In addition, the relationship be-
tween the three educational institutions and
NAVAIR provides an excellent academic
program for business students and all at
a cost much lower than spending all four
years at a university located outside the re-
gion, Smith said.
I am thrilled, said Cindy Baden, lead
teacher for the St. Marys County Schools
Academy of Finance at Chopticon. Its
really going to be a great selling point.
Baden noted that the academy already has
a relationship with Patuxent River Naval
Air Station, with her students visiting the
base on eld trips and the school hosting
guest speakers from the base. This agree-
ment strengthens that relationship, she said.
It is a pathway business career program
designed to address a NAVAIR need and
puts the students in a position to be eligible
for employment, said CSM Director of
the Nonprot Institute Barbara Ives, who
helped create the agreement.
UMUC President Javier Miyares noted
that CSM works closely with UMUC in
many similar agreements and the partner-
ship works well. Our students ultimately
want a job at the end of the journey, Mi-
yares said. This is a program that can help
them achieve their goal. Its also a program
that can be a model for the nation.
Miyares also commended the planned
pathway for the business students because
it allows them to earn their associate de-
gree during the process. If anything in life
happens that keeps them from completing
their bachelors degree immediately, CSM
graduates will have that associate degree,
which puts them a step ahead of those with-
out, he said.

Studies Center Rescues Community Record

Anna Kephart says she gets stressed just retelling the story.
Kephart, the coordinator of the Southern
Maryland Studies Center (SMSC) at the Col-
lege of Southern Maryland (CSM), was con-
tacted about an opportunity the rst week of
January 2016. The Maryland Independent, a
community newspaper that had been based
at an ofce in Waldorf since the mid-1980s,
was moving to a smaller location in White
Plains. The paper had been purchased by Ad-
ams Publishing Group, LLC (APG), a media
company with ofces on the Eastern Shore.
APG didnt have space to move the decades
of physical newspaper archives and related
materials to the new ofce nor the space to
store the materials elsewhere.
Would the SMSC be interested in the mate-
rials? The question was an archivists dream.
This is what made the situation stressful

Opioid Crisis Takes Its Toll On EMS
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
The opioid crisis deepens. New drugs
hit the streets and overdoses, sometimes
fatal, increase.
As addicts and their families pay the
price, the ones who show up to try and
save lives are paying it, too.
The stress and strain of seeing so many
people overdose, many times the same
people over and over again, and having to
watch some of them die, wears on them.
We just had two today, said Lori
Marsh, assistant chief at the Lexington
Park Volunteer Rescue Squad Tuesday. A
boyfriend and a girlfriend.
Marsh has been an EMS volunteer for
almost 12 years and spent much of her
time in Mechanicsville before coming to
the Lexington Park squad.
I didnt see this up in Mechanicsville,
Marsh said.
Synthetic opiates, heroin and now more
powerful drugs like fentanyl and carfen-
tanyl are all on the streets now and rescue
workers have to deal with them all.
Worse, addicts are now losing their
lives to counterfeit drugs that they have
no idea what they are dealing with.
Its part of the growing pervasiveness
of opiates in general, said Shawn David-
son, chief of the Lexington Park squad.
Were seeing overdoses on fentanyl or
what people think is fentanyl that are
really imposters.
Davidson said buyers who think they
are getting fentanyl, a powerful but syn-
thetic opiate, believe they are getting a
relatively safe product when they are not.
Its illicit, Davidson said. But they dose is broken.
think its not illicit.
He said he had talked to addicts who
were told by their dealers that they should

be careful with what they were buying.
All to0 often they were not.
When your own dealer tells you to take
it easy you would think people would lis-
ten, Davidson said.
Sometimes there seems to be little
rhyme or reason to the spread of the opiate
narcotics, but rescue workers say they can
begin to see patterns.
Were seeing more speed balls, hero-
in mixed with cocaine, Davidson said.
People use these thinking that the two
narcotics will counteract each other.
I think they want to believe that.
Addicts are experimenting dangerously
with opiates, rescue workers said, seeking
greater highs.
Were seeing more desperation in its
use, Davidson said.
Tracey Byrne, treasurer at the Lexing-
ton Park squad, said they have learned
to tell when different drugs are available
when addicts rush out to try and get a new
high.
We can usually tell when a new batch
hits the streets because the overdoses hap-
pen all at once, Byrne said. It clusters.
Squad members this past Easter, for ex-
ample, saw 10 overdoses at the emergency
room at MedStar St. Marys Hospital in
just a two-hour period.
The danger for first responders is also
increasing.
As addicts continue their descent into
drug abuse, seeking newer and greater
highs, rescue workers are never certain
just how they will react when their over-
sometimes she could not save someone
Some are grateful, others become vio-
lent and difficult to treat.
Its a little high stress, said Michaela
Richardson. You never really know how
serious its going to be.
Sometimes they say You killed my
high, I hate you!
Marsh said volunteers do their best to
save lives but when it comes to dealing
with addicts they find themselves often
saving the same lives time and again.
They thank us for saving them but then
they do it all over again, Marsh said.
Since the confirmation of the countys
first death from carfentanyl, an extremely
powerful tranquilizer used on large ani-
mals, rescue workers now worry that their
exposure to the drugs put them at risk.
Carfentanyl is so potent that it can be
absorbed through the skin on contact, Da-
vidson said.
When first responders encounter it
in powdered form it can hang in the air
and become scattered on surfaces mak-
ing inhalation or simple contact a real
possibility.
Its a new wrinkle to an already uncer-
tain scene, Byrne said.
You run the risk of exposure just by
being next to them [an overdose victim,]
Marsh said.
Dealing with families of addicts could
be just as trying as saving the addicts
themselves.
I find it hard when there are kids in-
volved, crying over someone who has
overdosed, said Alexandria Klee, just
23 years old but already a veteran rescue
squad member.
No matter how much she tried, she said,

I have to tell them [the family] I cant

Byrne said some of the worst emer-
gency calls involved families who were
resigned to an addicts fate.
Weve had people on scene say to us
Why bother, hes just going to [overdose]
again?
Thats not fair to us.
Sometimes winning saving a life
blurred with eventually losing someone to
drugs.
Youre seeing the same people three
times, three weeks in a row, Davidson
said. Its the feeling of impotence you
feel when you see them self-destruct.
Still morale among the squad at Lex-
ington Park, which is the busiest in the
county with nearly 7,500 calls for service
a year, is high.
We keep each other up, Klee said.
Were a great big family, said Byrne.
We back each other a lot.
With the proliferation of naloxone,
also known as Narcan, a non-addictive
medication that can break the affects of
an overdose, first responders have a handy
weapon against the epidemic.
Having Narcan makes what we do
that much easier, said Linda Miedzinski.
Its given us a fighting chance.
Davidson said despite the increas-
ing strain posed by the epidemic, rescue
workers would continue to serve.
Because were volunteers, youre not
getting somebody who is showing up to
punch the clock, Davidson said. They
care about you because they care about
their community.

Mother Catherine Academy
Signs Covenant with Sisters
of Charity Of Nazareth
Mother Catherine Academy, the only
independent elementary Catholic school
in southern Maryland, and the Sisters of
Charity of Nazareth (SCN) have signed a
covenant agreement to ensure the schools
Catholic identity will continue in the spirit
of Mother Catherine Spalding, foundress
of the sisters.
Under the agreement, the Sisters will
work with the school to teach about the
orders mission, history and charism. The
school administration will work with the
faculty to plan activities to strengthen the
connection between the Sisters and the
school. The relationship does not involve
change in governance, ownership or fiscal
responsibility.
The Sisters of Charity of Nazareth are
pleased to establish a covenant relation-
ship with Mother Catherine Academy,
said Mary Elizabeth Miller, SCN, pro-
vincial of the Western Province. Mother
Catherine Academy has long been a part of
the SCN Family. We are happy to strength-
en our bond through this covenant.
The Mother Catherine Academy com-
munity shares a historical and cherished
connection with the Sisters of Charity of
Nazareth, said Anthony Wojt, principal
of Mother Catherine Academy.
The SCN facilitated the Catholic
education delivered at Mother Catherine
Spalding School for many years, said
Wojt. Now, as an independent Catholic
school, a renewed covenant with the Sis-
ters of Charity of Nazareth will strengthen
the Catholic identity of our staff, students,
families and community through the
charism of Mother Catherine Spalding.
We are truly blessed to reconnect with the
SCN who continue to be extraordinary
stewards of the faith.
From the time that the SCNs provided
administrative and staff support for the
Chesapeake Charities Names Gala Committee
Chesapeake Charities will host its sec-
ond annual awards luncheon, A Celebra-
tion of Charity on Thursday, November
16, 2017, at the Chesapeake Bay Beach
Club in Stevensville.
The Event Committee, led by Audrey
Scott, includes Salena Barrett, Kathy De-
oudes, Jodie Gray, Carllene Hurd, Jami
Kirkwood, Paula Warner, Diana Waterman
and Deidre Wilson.
Last years event honored Governor
Larry Hogan for the courageous leadership
he displayed while battling cancer, said
Scott, and the event committee is now
planning another wonderful tribute to our
community heroes.
At the luncheon, the first Governor
Larry Hogan Scholarship will be awarded
to a student pursuing a degree in medical
research. Awards for Philanthropist, Non-
profit and Volunteer of the Year will also
be given. Nominations for these awards are

school to now, the Sisters were key lead-
ers in moving the school forward as they
modeled love, compassion and justice,
said Ann Gough Kovalcik, SCNA, a 1974
graduate of Mother Catherine Spalding
School. I am excited about possibilities,
by enriching the lives
of the students with mission, impelled
by the love of Christ for the betterment of
our world.
The Covenant relationship between
[MCA] and The Sisters of Charity of Naz-
areth will give the students the opportu-
nity to expand their knowledge of todays
Sisters of Charity of Nazareth and more
importantly, to open the students hearts
to the needs of the multicultural world,
said Sister Valerie Miller, SCN.
The Sisters of Charity of Nazareth have
a strong legacy in education in south-
ern Maryland, where Mother Catherine
Spalding was born in 1793. Mother Cath-
erine Spalding School was operated by the
Archdiocese of Washington at
the current location of Mother Cath-
erine Academy from 1964 to 2015. The
Sisters of Charity of Nazareth also opened
St. Marys Academy, which later merged
with Ryken High School to form to-
days St. Marys Ryken High School in
Leonardtown.
Mother Catherine Academy has seen
tremendous growth -- an average of about
10 percent growth each year -- since the
school opened in 2015 under the man-
agement of a board of trustees, with reli-
gious accreditation by the Archdiocese of
Washington and academic accreditation
through AdvancED.

Catherine Academy

Be Free or Die
by Cate Lineberry
It was a Sure Thing.
A cant-miss, a safe bet that you couldnt
possibly fail or could you? Isnt there al-
ways a danger of losing in a gamble, or at
least not winning? What kind of odds would
make you take a risky bet? As in the new
book Be Free or Die by Cate Lineberry,
would you put your familys lives on the
line?
Because the law in 1839 said that a slave
womans children were automatically en-
slaved, Robert Smalls was owned by Henry
McKee the minute Smalls was born. Be-
cause his mother was a house slave, the illit-
erate Smalls spent his childhood toiling in-
side the McKee home, rather than being put
aeld to work. There, he was said be smart,
capable, articulate, and well-liked by the
McKee family.
That, perhaps, is why McKee trusted
Smalls enough to send him, alone at age
twelve, to Charleston where he was hired

The Declaration of Independence Big, Juicy Tomatoes

On July 26, 1775, a year before the
Declaration of Independence was signed,
the Association of Freeman of Maryland,
comprised of representatives from all of
the counties, ofcially declared Maryland
in the rebel cause, stating in part:
We therefore, inhabitants of the Prov-
ince of Maryland, rmly persuaded that it
is necessary and justiable to repel force
by force, do approve of the opposition
by arms to the British Troops employed
to enforce obedience to the late acts and
statutes of the British Parliament, for rais-
ing a revenue in America, and altering and
changing the charter and constitution of
the Massachusetts Bay, and for destroying
the essential securities for the lives, liber-
ties and properties of the subjects in the
United Colonies. And we do unite and as-
sociate, as one band and rmly and
solemnly engage and pledge ourselves
to each other and to America that we will,
to the utmost of our power, promote and
support the present opposition, carrying
on as well by arms, as by the continental
association restraining our commerce.
All freemen within the state were re-
quired to subscribe to the proclamation
within ten days of receipt. The names of
those who did not subscribe were to be
reported. Failure to sign resulted in nes
and/or conscation of property.
At the same time, the proclamation
called for the enrollment of forty compa-
nies of minutemen
across the state. Every able-bodied
freeman between the ages of sixteen and
fty was.

litia no later than March 1776. With the

exception of pistols, the rearms of those
who refused to enroll or delayed in doing
so were seized and redistributed to the mi-
litia companies.
