Its been diffcult for Buzzs Marina in Ridge to keep its camping operations open
during the past year, but a unanimous vote by the county Planning Commission on Mon-
day night was another positive step for the company to continuing operating there without
being smothered by critical area restrictions.
For 20 years the marina and campground site had been mistakenly zoned as resource
conservation area in the critical zone of the watershed, which meant recreational camping
there was impossible without a conditional use permit from the county.
The county planning and zoning department and the Board of Appeals went back
and forth on allowing the camping there, but by approving a zoning change to limited
development area spanning the whole property this week camping is closer to being con-
sidered a permitted use there.
The decision must now go to the Board of County Commissioners for approval and
then for a fnal decision before the states Critical Area Commission, which oversees de-
velopment in the coastal areas of the Chesapeake Bay watershed.
Derick Berlage, director of the Department of Land Use and Growth Management,
said that the mistake was able to go on for so long because of a lack of proper technique
and technology in marking the boundaries of the marina, which should have been placed
in the less restrictive critical area limited development area in the frst place.
It was because of this mistake that the planning commission corrected the zoning
error.
This is a well documented case of a zoning mistake, it [the limited development
area] should have gone over the whole thing, Berlage said. Twenty years ago we didnt
have [geographic information systems] or satellites in 1990 they were literally using
tracing paper on maps.
The county commissioners are currently mulling a zoning text amendment that
would allow camping as a permitted use in the rural preservation district, where Buzzs
Marina is located, but even if that does not pass the recent rezoning could still bring relief
to the South County marina if it is approved by the county and critical area commission.

New Zoning for Marina

Offcials with the countys Department of
Land Use and Growth Management (LUGM) say
that without expanded water and sewer service
in places like Charlotte Hall, there is little to no
chance that an oft quoted story of a low-income or
subsidized rent apartment complex will be built on
Mount Wolf Road.
LUGM Director Derick Berlage said that wa-
ter, sewer and other infrastructure improvements
are needed to ensure future growth in Charlotte
Hall, which is one of the countys town centers,
and it will be an issue for growth in coming years
without it.
There will be a need to come up with sewer
capacity there, Berlage told the St. Marys County
Board of County Commissioners.
The roads in areas like Charlotte Hall are also
not capable of dealing with much greater devel-
opment than what is there now, he said, and the
countys aging adequate public facilities ordinance
might need revision to help correct that problem.
Folks are starting to get nervous about traffc
congestion and how bad it could get, Berlage said.
But commissioners were at least pleased to
put the rumors to rest over the low-income phan-
tom housing project that residents in Charlotte
Hall had brought to their attention last week at a
public forum.
Several residents said they had heard of in-
creased perc testing on about 140 acres of for-
ested land that would have to be cleared to make
way for subsidized housing, but Phil Shire, deputy
director at LUGM said his offce has seen no ap-
plications for such a project.
Besides, Shire said, a project like that could
not move ahead without public water and sewer
service, which does not exist there.
Commissioner President Francis Jack Russell
(D-St. George Island) said that county government
wanted to hear from citizens, but repeated rumors
took focus away from real issues.
Weve got better things to do than to listen to
these rumors, Russell said.
Shire said that was perhaps not as big a rumor
of development as another one LUGM staff con-
tinues to hear.
Weve been getting phone calls on a Wal-
Mart in Charlotte Hall for 12 years now, Shire
said.
County commissioners also decided Tues-
day to keep the current 1.9 percent annual growth
policy on residential development, which would
cap building of houses to just under 800 units each
year.
Though the current economic conditions have
kept the actual growth rate lower than that, and
contributed to 80 percent of the countys growth
going into development districts, 10 percent higher
than the countys current plan of 70 percent.
The annual growth policy was designed to
restrain growth the economy has done it for us,
Shire said.

Neither wind nor rain nor lightning could
deter the participants from taking part in
the 14th annual Relay For Life in St. Marys
County.
More than 1,700 people came out for the
Relay for Life, including 180 cancer survivors,
coordinator Kristy Wilhite said. All combined,
the teams raised approximately $300,000.
Its always a success when we have peo-
ple come out to celebrate our survivors, Wil-
hite said.
She said planning for the Relay for Life
begins in August, and the date is usually set
for the frst Saturday after graduations. There
are between 25 and 30 people on the planning
committee, who had a big job on Saturday, es-
pecially when during the scheduled start time at
5:30 p.m., a front of thunderstorms came rolling
through the area.
The fnal decision was to wait the storm
out, and the start was pushed back to 7 p.m. The
weather fnally cooperated for the opening cer-
emonies to be help outside as planned, though
Wilhite said there was a plan to move the relay
to an inside course through Leonardtown High
School if worse came to worse.
Even the rain couldnt dampen the spir-
its of the participants. As soon as the rain and
thunder stopped, there were people out walk-
ing around the track and waiting in the tents
set up for overnight participants, waiting for
the opening ceremonies.
Jaclyn Sherman, a member of team Pur-
ple Ribbons, who was participating for her
second year, said the Relay for Life is a good
way to get people together to raise money for
a good cause.
I think its great, said Sydney Tatman,
one of Shermans teammates.
Jeff Maher, the director of teaching,
learning and professional development with
St. Marys County Public Schools, was one of
the many participants from the school district.
He said there was 100 percent participation
from the schools, with at least one person from
each school on a team and several teams being
formed by the schools themselves.
Wilhite said there is also participation
from outside St. Marys County, and several
people who take part in the St. Marys Relay
for Life will also come out for the 24-hour
Relay for life in Calvert County on June 17 in
Hallowing Point Park.

The Maryland Department of Planning
has lent its approval to a planned lease of 20
acres of state park land in Lexington Park to be
used for a utility scale solar power project, ac-
cording to a letter to the Board of County Com-
missioners received last week.
The letter echoes recommendations made
by other stakeholders in the project that the site
have an outdoor environmental component
that complements the outdoor education pro-
gram use of the Elms property.
The letter also recommends that the site
undergo an archeological examination before
the project gets started, which is set for a 10-to-
25-year lease on the land.
The land was purchased by the state in the
1970s as a site for some sort of power generat-
ing facility, but it was not until December 2010
that county offcials confrmed that the state
had entered into talks with a private developer
to place a solar power project there.
The site for the proposed four-megawatt
project comprises just a fraction of the 1,020
acres of land in the entire Elms property, some
of which is leased to the county for hunting and
educational programs.
United Land and Power, the private devel-
oper of the project, wants to build 16,000 solar
panels on the property that sits off of St. James
Church Road where some dilapidated homes
have to be demolished to make way for new
construction.
Traffc on the road would be minimal
since the project would not require a staff to
monitor it once completed, offcials close to the
project have said.
Bob Schaller, director of the countys De-
partment of Economic and Community Devel-
opment, said that the project could advance the
cause of solar power locally and make it more
viable.
A smaller project at George Washington
Carver Elementary School has already re-
ceived much support from public offcials for
its efforts to cut down on electricity bills.
I think this is a good thing, were anxious
for the project to move forward, Schaller said.

Nearly three years after the actual construction
started, the Leonardtown streetscape project still has
problems, which they want to get fxed quickly, town of-
fcials report.
The project called for road improvements on Wash-
ington Street in the downtown area as well as for new
sidewalks that would be compliant handicapped acces-
sible mandates dating back to 2008, but the construction
contractor employed by the State Highway Administra-
tion (SHA) then did not install the sidewalks correctly,
necessitating it being ripped up and replaced. Also, there
were other problems with the project that lead to more
delays.
Now, about six months after the contractor has been
off the job, the town has been waiting with little response
from SHA on getting dead trees and plantings replaced
or on its request to get street lights replaced that were
installed but are not functioning properly.
Also, the slope of the sidewalk in front of one busi-
ness is so steep that the bricks in the pavement will not
hold, said Town Administrator Laschelle McKay.
The bricks dont want to stay in place, they pull
away, McKay told The County Times. SHA is working
on a different design [for that portion of the sidewalk], it
was a design faw.
And we need to replace three street lights, the tim-
er isnt working. They stay on constantly and weve been
turning them off manually.
McKay said town offcials met with the SHA dis-
trict engineer last week and he wants his staff to come to
some kind of resolution within the next 30 days.
Its really just a couple of minor issues, so theres
no reason to delay. It just looks bad for the town and
SHA, McKay said. Lets get it done and move on.
In other business the town council passed the town
budget and set a tax rate of 12.5 cents per every $100 of
assessed value on property, keeping the tax rate the same
as fscal 2011.
The actual property tax revenues of $460,000 will
be a 2.3 percent decrease from last fscal year, according
to town budget documents, with the tax rate staying the
same.
The fscal 2012 operating budget is $1.12 million,
down from last years $1.14 million.
Town Waiting For Completion
of Streetscape Project

The Town of Leonardtown announced Wednesday that the owners of a
piece of land critical to the potential development of a library in downtown
Leonardtown has been donated to the town.
The announcement stated that the town received a small tract located at
the intersection of Lawrence Avenue and Fenwick Street from shareholders
in the Route 5 Corporation, Keith Allston and Andy Covelas, which has been
slated to be the entrance to the Tudor Hall Farm development.
But the approximately one-half acre of land, valued at about $251,000 ac-
cording to the towns statement, may also be used for eventual public facilities.
Mayor J. Harry Norris said that the piece of land is right next to another
tract that has been offered by an out-of-county developer for use as a site to
build a new library for Leonardtown.
The latest acquisition could help facilitate the librarys eventual construc-
tion within town limits instead of on the Hayden Property on Hollywood Road.
It is the key to a potential library site because it creates an intersec-
tion between Lawrence Avenue and Fenwick Street, Norris told The County
Times. Even if the library does not go there its still key to the towns expan-
sion for whatever might be developed.
The Tudor Hall farm project does not have a completion date, Norris said,
but the intersection would lead to a road that would connect the development
to Route 5 as well as provide access to the downtown area.
It was a very generous gift, Norris said of the donation.
Allston said that he and his partner agreed to donate the land because
they had no plans to use it since it was just a residual piece of the Tudor Hall
project that they sold off and which has since switched hands several times.
They made the decision, Allston said, because the possibility of having a
library in the town would help its business economy.
It would bring so much more foot traffc to town businesses, said
Allston, who is originally from Leonardtown.

Offcials with the states Department of
Human Resources (DHR) say that their agency
is conducting a review of operations at the St.
Marys County Department of Social Services
after concerns reached them earlier this month
that one employee who was a team leader at
the offce was engaged in supervisory duties
for which she was not properly credentialed.
An employee, who worked in child wel-
fare services, has been removed from those
duties that required a state license, said DHR
spokeswoman Elyn Jones, and has been re-
turned to duties that she was qualifed for.
Jones said that as a team leader, she was
responsible for coordinating other workers
who worked in the felds of providing food
stamp assistance, job training, day care servic-
es and child welfare to social services custom-
ers, but she may have engaged in other tasks
that only a licensed supervisor should do.
The oversight was likely due to shortages
in qualifed staff, Jones said, but there was no
overt attempt to break any rules.
She had more responsibilities than she
should have, Jones told The County Times.
Weve cleared up that situation.
This concern lead to a broader review of
business practices at the local offce, Jones said,
but will also focus on the employees job duties
as well.
Jones would not specify who brought the
concerns to their attention for a review and said
that the investigation was ongoing.
Its not complete, Jones said. The re-
view will look at the concern that prompted
them to come there and make recommenda-
tions on what we may need to do.
The review is being conducted by the Of-
fce of the Inspector General, Jones said.
Ella Mae Russell, director of the local of-
fce, did not return phone calls seeking direct
comment but instead had DHR representatives
contact The County Times.

Kohls and the soon-to-be Dicks Sport-
ing Goods in Lexington Park are set to get
a new neighbor. The newest Buffalo Wild
Wings in Southern Maryland gained approval
from the Alcohol Beverage Board and is set to
begin construction in July.
The restaurant will offer 120 jobs to lo-
cals, and should be fnished in the late Novem-
ber to early December timeframe, according
to Chris Ramsey, the divisional vice president
of operations.
Ramsey said Buffalo Wild Wings makes
an effort to be involved in local communities,
with activities such as holding fundraisers for
various organizations and sports teams, in
which a percentage of the money spent by cus-
tomers is donated to the group.
We try to be as involved as the commu-
nity wants us to be, Ramsey said.
The St.
Marys Buffalo
Wild Wings will
be among the
frst in Southern
Maryland, with
a location in
Waldorf also in
the works.
R a m s e y
said he is not
sure yet what
companies will
be doing the
construction on
the building,
but there are
regional gen-
eral contractors
who typically
work with local
contractors.
He said Southern Maryland is a good lo-
cation for a branch of Buffalo Wild Wings be-
cause studies show Maryland residents are
great sports fans, which meshes well with the
feel of the restaurant.
He also said the proximity to Naval Air
Station Patuxent River was part of the draw to
St. Marys County, as military men and women
tend to like Buffalo Wild Wings.
During the last meeting of the alcohol
board, the restaurant was granted a 180-day
conditional alcohol license. Ramsey said when
it comes to serving alcohol, which is a large part
of their business; they will not accept expired
IDs or vertical licenses, even if the license
holder is over the age of 21.
He said the new restaurant should have a
capacity of more than 300, with outdoor seating.

As the worlds best riders and the most
prestigious motocross championship on the
planet prepare to descend on Mechanicsville,
the local economy throughout Southern Mary-
land prepares for a surge in business. After a
weekend full of excitement both on and off
the track, an estimated $3 million in revenue
will be brought into the market, a press release
states.
The MotoTees Budds Creek National will
take place this Saturday, June 18. However, lo-
cal businesses throughout the region and the
greater Washington D.C. area, where many of
the teams and series supporters will be staying,
will experience a surge in commerce through-
out the week. From local eateries, to gas sta-
tions, and lodging the affects of this annual
competition leaves a lasting impression on the
region.
After nearly a week of members through-
out the motocross industry making this area a
home base for the Budds Creek National, it is
estimated that nearly $3 million is brought to
local businesses for this event, said MX Sports

is that these decisions and the choices I have to make

We need to raise the debt ceiling for our
country and must fnd a way to accomplish this
deed. What about letting our federal retirees and
workersfootthebill?
Cutting federal workers salaries by 5% will
help. People elected to Congress are not affected,
as they are not federal employees, they are royalty.
Never think of them cutting their God given
benefts that include their large staffs and their
junket trips to foreign countries and their trips
back and forth to their districts all of which are
supportedbthelowlytaxpayers.Paymentsofall
costs associated with being in offce is a major
beneft.Theydoastheypleaseandwhopays,the
taxpayers of course. Their salary of $174,000 is
for their bank accounts.
It amazes me, that we, the taxpayers elect
people to Congress in good faith. We chose them
based on their campaign promises. They promise,
theywillrespectusandrepresentourneeds.But
alas, when they get to Congress, they have only
onethingintheirlittlebrains,VotethePartyLine!
Voting the party line makes taxpayers lose all
faith in their chosen representative. They neglect
to realize the taxpayers elected the person not the
party.Theywereexpectedtorepresenttheircon-
stituents as they promised during their campaign.
Nowtheyblamethefederalworkersbenefts

St. Marys deputies have charged Isabelle
Marie Herbert of Avenue with stabbing a man
because he tried to prevent her from taking his
car keys and cell phone last week.
Herbert faces frst-degree assault charges
for allegedly cutting and stabbing the victim in
the case, Joseph Peter Nelson, across the upper
left portion of his chest and his wrist on June
8 according to police reports. She remains in-
carcerated at the county detention center on a
$50,000 bond that must be paid in full before
her release.
Nelson told police he awoke that night to
the sound of his car keys jingling to fnd Herbert
taking both the keys and his Motorola cell phone
from his master bedroom at his house on River
Springs Road, charging documents stated.
When he got up to pursue her, Herbert
grabbed a plain steak knife and both cut and
stabbed him, police alleged.
Nelson suffered a severe injury to his
right wrist that required the attention of a vas-
cular surgeon and immediate surgery, wrote
Cpl. Joseph Somerville, one of the responding
deputies in charging documents.
Later another deputy took pictures of
Nelsons home, cataloguing spots were large
amounts of his blood appeared to have been
spilled, police reports stated.
Nelson told deputies that after he was cut
he continued to fght with Herbert over the keys;
the fght continued throughout the house, charg-
ing documents stated.
When the defendant ran out to Nelsons
1991 Chevrolet Cavalier and attempted to take
it, Nelson jumped into the passenger side to stop
her, eventually wresting the keys from her grip,
charging documents stated.
After losing the keys, she got out and
walked along River Springs Road to Route 242
and arrived at Holy Angels Church to call 911
to tell emergency dispatchers that Nelson had
stabbed her in the back of the head, court papers
revealed.
Somerville wrote in his report that he
found Herbert at the church with her clothes
stained in blood and being treated by a medi-
cal technician. She was later hospitalized with
elevated blood pressure and bruises to her neck
and chest, but prior to that she admitted that
two hours before the alleged assault she smoked
crack cocaine, police say.
Woman Charged in
Avenue Stabbing

Firefghters, rescue workers and sheriffs
deputies all responded to a report of a rup-
tured natural gas line at the BJs wholesale
club in California on Wednesday at about
10:30 a.m. after an out-of-control car jumped
a curb and smashed into the side of the build-
ing causing the leak.
Bay District Fire Chief Joe Gould said
that an elderly woman driving the vehicle
told emergency responders that her accelera-
tor pedal became stuck when she was driving
through a stop sign from the direction of the
Lowes home improvement store and collided
with the building.
The leak took two hours to be shut down,
Gould said. Work crews from Washington
Gas had to come on the scene and dig down
into the ground to shut off the gas, as it could
not be stopped from the meter.
It was a
four-inch feed-
er line from the
main, which
supplied all of
BJs, Gould
said. It was
a pretty large
leak.
Both BJs
and the nearby
Staples offce
supply store
had to be evac-
uated, Gould
said, while a
loud hissing
sound could be
heard as the gas
leaked from the
ruptured line.
The gas was making some noise, it
sounded like a miniature jet, Gould said.
Much of the shopping center area was
cordoned off by police and fre authorities;
Gould estimated that as many as 28 frefght-
ers from Bay District and Hollywood vol-
unteer fre companies responded as did six
or seven sheriffs units and two ambulances
from the Lexington Park Volunteer Rescue
Squad.
The leak was shutdown at about 12:45
p.m., Gould said, and businesses were allowed
to reopen soon after.
The woman who was operating that ve-
hicle that is said to have caused the leak was
not hurt and refused any medical treatment on
site, Gould said.
No one else was injured as a result of the
leak.

John Alfred Barolet, 94, of
Leonardtown, MD, formerly of Cali-
fornia, MD, died peacefully in the
company of his family on June 12,
2011 at Washington Hospital Center
in Washington DC.
He was born on December 4,
1916 in Cranston, Rhode Island,
the eldest son of Alfred Barolet and
Grace Dwyer Barolet. He grew up
in Wickford, Rhode Island where he
and his two brothers, William and
Joseph attended North Kingston,
Rhode Island high school. After high
school he attended Notre Dame Uni-
versity to pursue his parents dream
of becoming a doctor. Observing
engineering students with their slide
rules, he secretly switched majors
to the School of Engineering. He
left Notre Dame after the death of
his father to help his mother run the
farm and his fathers business. Two
years later he returned to school at
the University of Alabama. After a
long break in his education in order
to serve in the United States Army
and raise a family, he ultimately re-
turned to fnish his degree in Electri-
cal Engineering at the University of
Maryland.
Needing summer employment
during the great depression, he joined
the Marine Corps Reserve where he
attended Platoon Leader Course
Number 1 at Quantico, Virginia. The
Marine Corps lack of funding for of-
fcers led him to answer the call to
duty as an Army radio intercept op-
erator when World War II broke out.
Upon completing his training at Fort
Monmouth, NJ he was stationed in
Stephenville Army Airfeld, New-
foundland for 4 years. While there,

4, 1942 and began raising a family.
He left the Army in May, 1945 and
returned to Wickford, Rhode Island
with his wife and two baby daugh-
ters. Leveraging his radio skills, he
became a civil servant for the Depart-
ment of the Navy at Quonset Point,
RI. In 1948 he moved to Patuxent
River Naval Air Station and became
an Electrical Engineer and branch
chief. He retired from Civil Service
in 1972. He completed hiking the
Appalachian Trail in the ensuing
13 years, His retirement years also
included teaching adult education
backpacking classes, serving as the
Scout Master for Boy Scout Troop
787, and volunteering at Immaculate
Heart of Mary Church. He continued
using his Army radioman skills as an
amateur radio ham operator for more
than 60 years and serving as the St.
Marys County Coordinator for the
Amateur Radio Emergency Services.
He lived his last six years at Cedar
Lane in Leonardtown, MD where he
enjoyed walking, dancing, playing
cards, and talking with his friends
and fellow residents.
He is the beloved father of eight
children, 12 grandchildren and four
great grandchildren. He is preceded
in death by his mother and father
and two brothers, his wife Margaret
of 63 years, and his second daugh-
ter, Katherine Ann Brice. He is sur-
vived by seven of his eight children;

wife Diane, Jane Crawley and fanc
Gary Bennett, Margaret Candelaria
and husband Del, John Barolet and

On June 11, St. Marys County Public
Schools reached an agreement with both the
Education Association of St. Marys County
(EASMC) and the Collective Education Asso-
ciation of St. Marys County (CEASMC). The
teams have been working since the fall of 2010
to develop agreements that minimize the im-
pact on dedicated staff in light of the current
economic environment, a press release states.
Under the agreements, there will be no
cost-of-living allowance or merit step increase
for staff during the 2011-2012 school year and
all employees will be furloughed three days.
These days will be scheduled directly before or
after an existing SMCPS holiday or break. The
agreements also include some enhancements in
work conditions and several joint study com-
mittee topics for future consideration. Topics
include extra pay for extra duty/stipends and
performance assessments.
While I was pleased with the collegial
nature of the negotiations process, I remain
disappointed that the school system budget is
balanced on the backs of our hard working and
effective employees, Ms. Wanda Twigg, presi-
dent of EASMC said in a SMCPS press release.
We should not be in this position in such a
wealthy county.
CEASMC President Joe Shade said, I am
discouraged about the fscal impact on employ-
ees, but I am pleased that there are no changes
to healthcare, which is particularly essential to
many of our support professionals whose physi-
cally demanding jobs take a toll on them after
30 or more years of dedicated service.
Teachers, Staff, Agree to Furloughs

pointment to the Merchant Marine Academy;
Molly Jo Nantz and Nicholas Laurel who will
be attending the Naval Academy; and Patrick
Bauk who is heading to West Point.
On Tuesday, Hoyer held a reception for
the students and their families.
I am honored to be here today to rec-
ognize another outstanding group of students
receiving appointment offers to our nations
prestigious Service Academies, Hoyer said in
a press release. An offer to attend one of these
institutions is recognition of their achieve-
ments both inside and outside the classroom. I
am proud to have the opportunity to nominate
these talented future leaders from Maryland,
and I thank them for answering the call of ser-
vice to our country and choosing to pursue a
future of leadership. Congratulations and best
of luck to you in this new endeavor.

Now that the high school seniors have
graduated, there is another type of gradua-
tion to be celebrated before the school year
ends and summer begins.
Elementary school ffth graders are get-
ting ready to enter sixth grade and their frst
year of middle school.
Its a big exciting change for them,
said Kelly Hall, director of elementary in-
struction with St. Marys schools.
She said orientations are being held at
the middle and elementary schools to help
the students with the transition.
Councelors from county middle schools
also come into the elementary schools to an-
swer the students questions, said Jennifer
Cord, a ffth grade teacher at White Marsh
Elementary School.
She said the councelors will feld as
many as 40 questions or more on the days
they come in to talk to the ffth graders, which
range from questions about juggling multiple
teachers during the day to fears about being
stuffed into their lockers and other horror
stories they hear from upper classmen.
Cord said the ffth graders knowledge
of middle school, and life out of elemen-
tary school, is a mishmash of second hand
knowledge and things they see on television,
so their vision and expectations of middle
school are sometimes skewed at best.
The councelors make an effort to ad-
dress everything, Cord said. One time, a
councelor brought in a piece of construc-
tion paper that was the height and width of
the lockers in the middle school, called the
smallest student in the class to the front and
physically demonstrating the impossibility
for anybody to get locked into their locker.
In addition to changing schools, Hall
said the sixth graders start going through
physical growth, which adds to the stress
theyre under. They also go from a school
where they have 40 or less peers to 300 or
more, which will make their peer group ex-
ponentially larger, an intimidating prospect
for some students.
To celebrate their promotion to middle
school, the elementary schools hold cer-
emonies on the last day of school, June 16,
to celebrate all the ffth grade students have
achieved and what theyve got to look for-
ward to.
Its a very nice day, Hall said.
An additional way the ffth grade teach-
ers help the students prepare for middle
school is by pushing them into being more
independent learners, a skill they will need,
while giving them a safety net while they
fgure things out.
This is one of the funnest grades to
teach, Cord said.
She said while some teachers are a bit
leery of teaching ffth graders, who know
they are the biggest students in their grades
and can get to be a little bit rowdy, she enjoys
the challenge.
You feel like youve accomplished
something, Cord said.
Fifth Grade Students Stepping Up
By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
Students in the public school system who
received a D or an E in a class and want to try to
get a better grade have the chance to do so in the
High School Summer School Program.
Director of College and Career readiness
Theo Cramer said there are a million benefts
for the students who choose to take summer
courses to improve a bad mark in a class.
He said unlike on television, where summer
school is portrayed as a punishment for bad kids,
the program is made to give students who didnt
do as well as they knew they could have done
and want the chance to make up the grade.
Students who received a D or an E, but
didnt fail outright, are eligible to take the course
for a higher grade and an improvement in their
GPA. Kramer said summer school is designed
for students who are willing to put forth an ef-
fort, but something kept them from making the
grade. Students who failed the class will have to
re-take it during the school year.
In-school registration for frst and second
semester courses will be held by appointment
through June 16 in the counseling offce of
each high school. Walk-in registration for frst
and second semester will be held June 20 and
21 at Leonardtown High School in Room C29
from 7:30 p.m. until 11:30 a.m. there will also
be a walk-in registration held July 7, in the same
location from 12:30 until 2:30 p.m., for students
wishing to register for second semester only.
Students are encouraged to register early, as
class size is limited.
For walk-in registration only, students must
bring documentation that proves they are eligible
for the class for which they wish to register. This
documentation may be in the form of a report
card, a transcript or a letter from their school
counselor.
All high school courses will be held at
Leonardtown High School. The frst semester
of summer school will be held June 22 through
July 11 and the second semester will be held July
12 to July 28. Due to budgetary issues, summer
school will be reduced to a four-day week and
will be held Monday through Thursday with the
exception of classes being held Friday, July 8, ac-
cording to a press release from the school.
The summer school program is not open to
students not enrolled in the public schools.
Cramer said another beneft of the summer
school program is the teacher to student ratio is
lower than during the normal school year, and
that combined with the fact that students only
have one or two classes that theyre focusing on,
give they students an opportunity to isolate what
they didnt understand and grasp the concept.
Students may register for one or two cours-
es each semester. First period class will run 8
a.m. through 10:30 a.m., and second period class
will run 10:45 a.m. through 1:15 p.m. The fee
per course, per semester is $150. Payment by
cash, money order, or a certifed check will be
accepted. Personal checks will not be accepted.
Transportation is not provided for high
school summer school. For more information,
call the high school counseling offce or the De-
partment of College and Career Readiness at
301-475-5511, extension 257.
Summer Gives Students a Second Chance
The County Times
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
For the past two years crab populations
and subsequent harvests have improved since
dwindling numbers led to a disaster declara-
tion for Maryland blue crab. But, despite tough
restrictions on harvesting the iconic creature
from the Chesapeake Bay, which were de-
signed to boost its numbers, local crabbers and
retailers arent seeing a return to the days when
they were cheap and plentiful.
They say that prices for crabs this year, as
well as the harvest, will be on a par with last
years conditions meaning customers can ex-
pect to pay between $30 or even $40 a dozen
for the heaviest crabs. Bushels of crabs, said
Denise Ching, of Thompsons Seafood Corner
Carryout in Mechanicsville, are currently sell-
ing from her store cooked at about $150 each.
While people are still willing to pay top
dollar for crabs, local customers are buying less
than out-of-town buyers who are making up
most of Chings sales, she said.
The real issue surrounding crabs is the
costs associated with harvesting them, Ching
said, and price increases in boat fuel, bait and
equipment are pushing watermen to harvest
less.
Itll never comeback, Ching said of the
heyday of local crabbing.
Paul Kellam, who was once a full-time
waterman but now operates Kellams Seafood
in Ridge, said that he could remember the days
of $5 crab pots and cheap bait. Now crab pots
cost as much as $35 a piece and 60 pounds of
bait can cost as much as $50, which can be as
much as fve times as expensive as when he
started commercial crabbing decades ago.
Coupled with high fuel prices for crab-
bing boats, watermen are searching for ways to
still get top dollar for crabs but with perhaps a
smaller harvest, Kellam said.
He also believed the legendary days of
plentiful, cheap crabs that made St. Marys
County such a destination for the best seafood
are long gone; though he could not imagine a
day when crabbing completely stops.
Theres a lot of truth in that, Kel-
lam said. In Maryland the trend has been
away from crab potting to trot lining.
That means that crabbers are taking more to
rivers and creeks instead of the more open wa-
ters of the bay, he said, which means the crabs
they catch are more likely to be large and heavy
as those tend to migrate to the fresher waters as
they grow.
But that also means that the harvests could
be smaller, he said, meaning that consumers
will continue to pay premium prices for crabs
despite their apparent resurgence in overall
numbers.
Watermen are fnding this
a more attractive alternative, he
said, because their costs of har-
vesting are less and the asking
price for the best crabs can be
higher.
Moreover, there are far
fewer watermen now than
when he started, Kellam said,
which means that whats actu-
ally harvested from local wa-
ters will be less than decades
past.
The harvest cant be what
it was even if the crabs were
there.
Robert T. Brown, presi-
dent of the St. Marys County
Watermens Association, said
he believes this years crab
harvest will be better than last
years, but which watermen get
the best individual harvests de-
pends on where they crab.
Not all regions of the wa-
tershed are equal, he said.
Its been better in certain
places in the county, Brown
told The County Times. Even
in your good seasons you have
highs and lows.
Im optimistic that this
year will be better than last
year were headed in the
right direction.
What he wasnt optimistic
on, though, was the costs of
doing his job.
Brown said the cost of
running a crabbing opera-
tion are going up, but prices
are actually slightly less than
the previous harvest, and as
the season goes on the prices
will continue to drop, making
it harder to have a safe proft
margin.
Bob Schaller, director
of the countys Department
of Economic and Commu-
nity Development, which also
keeps tabs on the local sea-
food industry, said that he was
skeptical of the states recent
release of its winter survey of
crabs showing them strength-
ening in numbers.
The most recent dredge
survey showed that the crab
population was at its second
highest level since 1997, but
as many as 31 percent of adult
crabs were lost to the winter
freeze.
However, the states De-
partment of Natural Resources
(DNR) has announced that it
would increase the limits on
the allowable catch for female
crabs at the end of the crabbing
season between Sept. 1 and
Nov. 10.
Those holding limited commercial crab-
bing licenses will be able to take 12 bushels
instead of 10 from the previous year, according
to DNR, though all other restrictions and regu-
lations will remain the same for 2011.
Its clear that crabs are not as plentiful as
they once were, Schaller said. And supply and
demand will increase the prices.
The issue is whether or not commercial
crabbing is really viable economically anymore
and the answer is no. Its costly and its work
and theres not that much out there.

On the evening of Wednesday, June 8
temperatures were hovering at 90 degrees-plus
and the humidity wasnt far behind but, when
the First Lady of the Marine Corps, Mrs. Bon-
nie Amos, began speaking at the Marine Corps
Aviation Association (MCAA) John Glenn
Squadrons 5th Annual Scholarship Presenta-
tion Ceremony. The crowd of 130-plus guests
gathered on the lawn of the 1676 State House
in Historic St. Marys City soon forgot about
the heat.
Amos, the keynote speaker for the event,
was joined by the squadrons Commanding Of-
fcer, Colonel John Torres, and the St. Marys
County Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Mi-
chael Martirano, in presenting scholarship
checks to this years recipients.
Since inception of the scholarship program
in 2007 the squadron has awarded $140,000 to
36 students from tri-county area high schools.
This year a total of $38,000 was awarded to
nine students, six of whom were able to attend
the Wednesday evening event.
The scholarships are merit based and are
awarded to students who plan to pursue a sci-
ence, technology, engineering or math based
degree and a career path that could beneft the
Department of Defense and Naval Aviation.
Donations for the scholarships come from gen-
erous corporations, businesses and individuals
who work with and around Marine Corps and

Pets2Vets (P2V) seeks healing and sup-
port for the 10-12 million men and women who
suffer with some form of psychological condi-
tion, and homes for the four-fve million shel-
tered animals who are euthanized every year
so that both may live in dignity as they embark
on their journey together.
Chesapeake Pet Resort & Day Spa, of
Hollywood, recently donated $500 to the P2V
program, reports owner Susan Pearce Ditch.
P2V provides our nations heroes with
accessible, cost-effective animal assisted ac-
tivities (animal companionship) as they pursue
rehabilitative and therapeutic care from their
healthcare providers in the Washington, D.C.
and New York City areas.
P2V is a non-proft organization, based in
Arlington, VA, which seeks to alleviate the
psychological suffering of our nations heroes
and to reduce the number of sheltered animals
in the United States.
Chesapeake Pet Resort encourages any-
one with an interest in the well-being of our
courageous Veterans, and needy pets, to sup-
port the efforts of Pets2Vets.org, Ditch said.
Chesapeake Pets donation was provided
in honor of Corporal William Buddy Pearce
who gave the ultimate sacrifce July 13th,
1945, off the shores of Tinian Island with the
792nd, 468th US Army Air Force, whos f-
nal fight was described in detail in U.S. Am-
bassador Frank V. Ortizs Memoirs, Lessons
From A Life of Service.

Local Author Writes
Fairy Tale for Daughter
By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
In an effort to remain close to his daugh-
ter, Rheannon, on the other side of the country
and to inspire her faith, local author M. J. Ru-
saw wrote her a story that he would read to her
at night and send her
bits of as he com-
pleted it over the
past nine years.
T h e
Tides of Eterni-
ty, published
through Xulon
Press, is what
Rusaw described as a biblical fantasy with
action and adventure themes.
Rusaw said he is a local boy, having been
born and raised in St. Marys County and still
living here while working at Naval Air Station
Patuxent River.
The story revolves around the Gailel, of
the fctional Yune race, and her handmaiden
Kimia as they stand on the side of the One Most
High against the forces of evil, represented by
Daemen den Moc and Rulik Suu, in a classic
good versus evil tale.
Through courage and faith and the power
of God, Gailel and Kimia struggle and fght
and in the end they kick some heinous wicked
buttocks and they lead their people out of the
judgment, which comes in the form of the great
collapse, which is the end of all things, Rusaw
said.
He said he wrote the story to inspire his
daughters faith and hope as a young Christian
woman in a time when God is taking it on the
chin a lot. He said it is meant to encourage and
inspire and satisfy through the triumph of love.
When he began writing, Rusaw said he
didnt really know how to write a book, so
he read books on writing and took inspira-
tion from authors like J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S.
Lewis, who wrote escapist fction with religious
undertones, which are popular with Christians
and non-Christians alike.
It was one of the big things I was inter-
ested in, Rusaw said.
One thing Rusaw added to the book was
a reference guide to biblical verses because the
book is based in an earth before earth, with
races created before man, and he couldnt quote
the Bible outright in the book itself and remain
faithful to the world he had created, which
would have existed before the Bible, but not
before God.
Rusaws goal was to fnish the book and
have it published by his daughters 21st birth-
day. In order to do that, he forwent the tradi-
tional process of sending query letters to agents
in hopes of fnding somebody to pick up his
book and send it to a publisher, a course that
can take years. Instead, he published the book
himself through Xulon Press, a Christian self-
publishing company.
For the cover image for the book, which
Rusaw had to supply to the publisher, he ap-
pealed to Rheannon. She and a few of her
friends had a photo shoot with instructions
from her father on what he wanted for the cover.
The result saw the young woman for whom the
book was written posing as Gailel on the cover.
Rusaw is currently working on the seventh
chapter of the sequel to The Tides of Eternity,
The Tides of Eternity Of Maids and Mighty
Men. He said the sequel will be dedicated to
his son, who also heard the story of The Tides
of Eternity as it was being written.
Anybody interested in meeting Rusaw
will have a chance twice next month. On July
3, Fenwick Street Used Books and Music will
welcome Rusaw for a reading at 1 p.m. and Big
Larrys Comic Book Caf will host Rusaw at a
book signing July 9 at noon.

From history buffs to crafters looking for
their next project, Cecils Old Mill offers a little
something for everybody.
This weekend, there will be a Civil War
living history reenactment at Cecils Old Mill.
Unlike some reenactments, there will be no
battle shown. Kelly Major, the baker, jelly
maker and secretary for the St. Marys Art As-
sociation said the reenactment will be more
about day to day life in a Civil War camp.
Also during the reenactment, there will be
a bluegrass band on the porch of the country
store, a folk singer and food provided by the
Third District Optimist Club.
Its to give back to the community, Ma-
jor said.
The St. Marys Art Association has called
Cecils Old Mill home for the past 23 years,
and, in addition to it being a space for the mem-
bers of the association to work on their proj-
ects, it gives them a place to display and sell
their wares.
Major said the goal of the Art Association
is to promote local arts and crafts. To join the
art association, Major said a person has to sub-
mit four samples of their work to show that they
can fnish their projects and they make them on
their own and have them juried by members of
the association.
We want people that go out of the box,
Major said.
Cindy Bristow,
the head manager of
the mill, said there is
tremendous value to
having the art associa-
tion housed in the mill.
Many of the artists in the
mill repurpose old items
or junk, like worn out
shirts and bottle tops,
using a process called
upcycling. This means
making the items into
decorative pieces, like
scenes painted in the
bottle caps, or useful
items like aprons made
out of old shirts.
In a way, the mill
itself has been upcycled from a textile mill to a
showcase for the art association.
The association also offers art projects,
called make n takes every Friday for the
people in the area who want to get involved in
crafts, but dont have the time or inclination to
get into big projects, Major said. Many of the
projects revolve around scrap booking, though
there have been lessons in embroidery, knitting
and other crafts people have expressed an in-
terest in. The only lessons they cant offer are
in cooking because the mill doesnt have run-
ning water, Major said.
In the summer, the projects become more
kid-friendly. One upcoming make n take is
making marshmallow guns out of PVC pipe on
Aug. 12, in preparation for the marshmallow war
in the feld behind the country store Aug. 13.
St. Marys Ryken recently named Edward Weiland of
Lexington Park to be the Dean of Student and Faculty Life.
As dean, Dr. Weiland will ensure that students adhere to the
code of conduct expected of all St. Marys Ryken students,
and he will help mentor new teachers, a press release states.
Weiland is retiring from the St. Marys County Public
School system where he was the director of human resources
for the past eight years. He began his career as a teacher at
Chopticon High School and his career in education includes
time as principal at Leonardtown and Chopticon high schools
and Southern Middle School in Anne Arundel County.
Weiland received his bachelors from St. Marys College
of Maryland and his Ph.D. in educational policy, planning
and administration from the University of Maryland. He is
a 1969 graduate of Ryken High School and from a family of
nine children, all of whom attended Ryken High School or St.
Marys Academy.
Im looking forward to joining the faculty and staff of St. Marys Ryken High School
and to working with Mrs. Mary Joy Hurlburt and Mr. Rick Wood and the entire St. Mary's
Ryken community, Weiland said in a statement. I'm very student-centered and one of my
goals has been to work with students again. Now, I have the opportunity to return home
where I can repay the debt I owe to the Xaverian Brothers for the education and values that I
received.

A presentation at the last meeting of the Board of
Education detailing the need for updates to the tech-
nology and infrastructure for the public school system
ended with a vote to spend $74,178 on a disaster recov-
ery system for the schools computer servers.
The disaster recovery system, to be purchased
through CAS Severn of Laurel, will back up data stor-
age, email, eSchool, and eFinance servers, among other
things, in the case of fre, food or catastrophic server
failure.
Jim Corns, the director of information technology
with St. Marys Public Schools, said this is the frst step
in a technological refresh for the district.
The second step will be working on the core net-
work and information transfer from
school to school, which includes web
transfer and e-mail among other things.
That needs to be beefed up,
Corns said.
Third will be working on the
wireless infrastructure in the schools.
Currently, not all the schools in the dis-
trict have wireless Internet throughout
the whole building, and some are not
even capable of getting it right now. He
said the middle schools, high schools
and administration buildings are the
frst priority because they all have the
fber optic cables needed to get the
global wireless in the buildings.
The elementary schools will be
the second priority because some of
them will need to have the fber optic
cables installed, which will be done
through a grant from the state.
The fourth and fnal stage of the
project will be leasing new laptops and
computers and instituting a cycle to allow between one
third and one fourth of the computers to be replaced
every year to keep up with ongoing technological
advances.
The biggest, most expensive thing is the revolving
lease, said Director of Fiscal Services Greg Nourse.
Corns said for the middle schools, high schools
and the administration buildings, the project should be
done in early 2012. For the elementary schools, comple-
tion depends on the speed of the state installing the fber
optics in the schools.
As for the impact the technological refresh will
have on the students, Instructional Technology Direc-
tor Regina Greely said the students will undoubtedly
beneft from the advances.
Technology can only help the teacher reach stu-
dents better, Greely said in an e-mail to The County
Times. In regards to online testing, teachers can re-
ceive instant feedback for assessments thus being able
to determine what needs to be retaught in a new rede-
signed lesson. Technology provides teachers with a va-
riety of applications by which students can be prepared
for college and careers depending upon their gradua-
tion choices.
Online testing is also a requirement of the Race
to the Top grant, which makes It critical to provide stu-
dents with the tools to access the tests, Greely said.
In a world that is becoming increasingly techno-
logically dependant, Greeley said it is important for the
students to be exposed to computers at a young age.
We live in a technological world therefore we
need to prepare students to compete in that world, she
said. The skills and knowledge that they learn in K-12
education will only help prepare them for college and
the work force recognizing that technology changes
daily. Students must be able to collaborate, communi-
cate, and think critically. To meet this vision we must
have interactive classrooms across the county.

Back in 2009, Historic St. Marys
City (HSMC) held a celebration for
Marylands 375th anniversary. The
event brought in 3,000 people, and was
successful enough to warrant an annual
event. June 25 will mark the second
Mid Summer Faire in St. Marys City.
The event is all about fun and
games and entertainment, said Sue
Wilkerson, the director of marketing
and communications for HSMC.
She said at the faire, visitors can
get a taste of the entertainment people
in colonial times had,
such as colonial dancing.
People of all ages
enjoy doing that, Wilker-
son said.
Other exhibitions
include stilt walking
and sword fghting les-
sons, and colonial crafts,
like whirligigs and fans,
which Wilkerson said
will be popular if the day
proves to be a hot one.
In addition to the
practical lessons and
crafts, there will be a
colonial version of the
movie theatre, in the form
of an interactive Aesops
Fable, which was popular
during last years faire, as
well as puppet shows and
a Salter Trial. The trial is
a drama based on records from the 17th
century detailing a pig theft.
Its pretty entertaining, Wilker-
son said.
Manning the faire are existing
volunteers who normally work at the
museum. Wilkerson said the volunteers
work as welcomers, parking assistants
and question takers. Anybody interest-
ed in volunteering with the city should
contact Anne Forrest at amforrest@
smcm.edu.
Its a really neat experience,
Wilkerson said.

THE ANGLICAN MISSION
OF SOUTHERN MARYLAND
ANGLICAN
115,000
Oysters
Released Into
St. Marys River
Sanctuary
The Marylanders Grow Oysters annual
collection of 10-month-old spat began in the
early hours of May 28 along the shores of the
St. Marys River and ended the following day
when all 115,000 oysters had been release into
the wild.
Thirty volunteers in small skiffs and
trucks collected 650 cages from docks around
the tidal waters and then planted the oysters in
the St. Marys River oyster sanctuary.
This years planting will augment the
work we did last year, Bob Lewis, project lead-
er and executive director of the St. Marys River
Watershed Association, said in a press release.
Combined, the two plantings totaled
365,000 oysters, and even at their current
youthful size, Lewis claims they will have a big
impact on water quality.
Thats a powerful all-natural water treat-
ment plant, Lewis said of the newly refur-
bished half-acre oyster reef and planting site.
The oysters we planted last year have sur-
vived and grown considerably, said Lewis.
It started last September when college stu-
dent volunteers flled 650 cages with one-week-
old oysters (also known as spat) and then dis-
tributed them to 97 volunteer homeowners who
cared for them at their piers during the oysters
frst and most vulnerable year of their life.
The Marylanders Grow Oysters program,
supported by the Maryland Department of
Natural Resources and the Oyster Recovery
Project, allows waterfront homeowners to par-
ticipate directly in oyster restoration efforts.
The Associations next oyster restoration
project will be on August 27 when St. Marys
College incoming students will plant one mil-
lion spat. Local volunteers will assist in this
project. The public is invited to witness this ex-
citing event at the colleges waterfront.
The Marylanders Grow Oysters in the St.
Marys River program will launch its third year
on Sept. 17 when all the cages will be reflled
with a new brood of spat and then redistributed
to homeowners.
In order to qualify for stewarding cages,
docks are required to have four feet of water
and the homeowner must be willing to care for
the oysters for a period of 10 to 12 months. If
you would like to participate, email info@st-
marysriver.org. The program is supported by
Boeing Global Corporate Citizen.

Staff Writer
The joint was jumping Tuesday night at Fat
Boys Country Store as local singers came out for
the frst round of Karaoke Idol.
John Hunt, the new general manager for the
Fat Boys Country Store, said the Tuesday night
Karaoke Idol is part of a campaign to bring at-
tention to the bar, which is set back on Medleys
Neck Road in an area most people dont tend to just
stumble across.
We needed something aggressive, Hunt said.
He said the Karaoke Idol competition every
Tuesday is meant to appeal to St. Marys residents
of all ages, from 16 years old up. To keep from
competing with the karaoke nights from Thursday
through Saturday at other locations throughout the
county, like Applebees, Karaoke Idol is held on
Tuesday nights from 8:30-10 p.m., with a warm-up
session beginning at 7 p.m.
Because all patrons under the age of 21 have
to be out of Fat Boys by 10 p.m., the winner will
be chosen at that time for each night. Winners are
selected by a panel of three judges, Hunt said, and
are judged on their stage presence and vocal talent.
Half of their score comes from the judge, while
the other half comes from audience response. Hunt
said this keeps the whole event from becoming a
popularity competition, where the person who
brings the most friends is automatically the winner,
while allowing the audience some involvement.
We want to make sure the cream gets to rise
to the top, Hunt said.
Providing the song selection for the night is
Casey McFann, also known as DJ KayCee. With
170 pages in her songbook listing more than 19,000
songs ranging from the
Beetles to Alice in Chains
to Bon Jovi and a section
dedicated only to gospel
songs, there is defnitely
something for every per-
sonality and vocal range.
The price to enter
is only $5 per night, and
anybody not chosen as a
fnalist can come back the
following week for anoth-
er try. Hunt said the bene-
ft to getting involved ear-
ly is getting more chances
to be chosen as a fnalist.
Novice karaoke sing-
ers and veterans are all
welcome for the com-
petition, and they were
trickling in Tuesday, Hunt
said.
Im a karaoke freak, said Cheryl Moore,
who is so dedicated to her karaoke that she brought
props, Hersheys Kisses, to use during her rendi-
tion of Chers The Shoop Shoop Song Its In
His Kiss.
Hunt said the timing of the Karaoke Idol is
meant to coincide with summer vacation so the
younger crowd can get involved, and to give the
teenagers something to do during their summer.
Its a good night out, said Byron Dickerson,
one of the eight who came out to compete for the
frst round.
He said he heard about the competition and de-
cided to go for it because he enjoys singing. Dick-
erson has also auditioned for American Idol in the
past and has sung in local music groups for several
years.
Soloists werent the only ones who came out
for the karaoke night. Hunt said there were 25 peo-
ple who came out in addition to the eight competi-
tors just to sing for fun. Groups of singers took the
mic to belt out their favorite songs with a group of
friends.
Anybody who missed Karaoke Idol Tuesday
shouldnt worry. Tuesday was the frst in a series
of 10 qualifying nights for the four weeks of fnals,
which will culminate in the winner of the contest
being chosen in early September.
The winner will get $500 and a trophy, as well
as the chance to go onstage with the Sam Grow
band for a song at a concert of the winners choice,
Hunt said.

trystore.com.

Daniel J. Payne, born 1842, was the son of
Richard Payne and his second wife, Jane Elizabeth
Lee. The family lived near Chaptico and owned
property on the Wicomico River. Daniel came of
age at the time of the Civil War and while there is
no record of him having served in the army (at least
offcially) we do know he was involved in blockade
running, some smuggling, and probably a bit of
spying for the Confederacy.
On July 11, 1863 Daniel was captured by
Union forces at Stratford Mills in Westmoreland
County, Virginia. Crew members of the U.S.S.
Primrose had been sent ashore and they
saw a man approaching, keeping out
of sight until he came up, when he was
informed that he was a prisoner. His
name is D.J. Payne, but in Virginia he
goes by the name of Captain Harris.
He is a resident of St. Marys County,
Md. On taking him, he attempted to
chew up a paper, which upon taking
from him, proved to be a list of goods.
Another piece he succeeded in tearing
to pieces so that it could not be joined
again. From information gained on-
shore I believe him to be connected with
Darrington, a noted smuggler, whom I
arrested a short time ago at the same
place.
About six weeks ago, a schooner
landed ordnance stores at this place,
and from the people on shore who as-
sisted in loading the carts I learned that
Payne received the cargo and took it to
Richmond. Payne formerly owned the
schooner Mechanic, but, but his own
statement, has sold her. I strongly suspect that this
vessel is the one that landed the ordnance (stores)
at the above place. After taking Payne on board, a
young man who lived nearby was brought off. He
recognized Payne as the one who had charge of the
above stores, and that he had often seen him in that
vicinity with goods. Since being on board he has
told to everyone a different story. I fnd he is well
acquainted with blockade running in this neigh-
borhood. I arrested Payne, together with a num-
ber of others, on board the schooner Mechanic
in St. Clements Bay on November 1, 1862 but he
was afterwards let go by order of the captain of
the feet.
In 1869 Daniel married Mary Susan Long. In
June 1870 it was reported that the store of Daniel
J. Payne at Budds Ferry, St. Marys County, Md.,
with a large fall and winter stock, was burned.
Daniel and Mary had six children, none of
whom survived to adulthood. Four of the six died
in infancy. Mary, the oldest child, drowned in 1890
at age 11. His only son, Richard Bernard Payne,
died in 1893 at 18.
Mary Susan (Long) Payne died in 1881. Dan-
iel married second, Virginia Page Carter, widow
of Leonard J. Alvey and third Sophia M. (Sealover)
Richter. Daniel died November 28, 1904. Sophia
moved to Ohio where she died in 1919. There were
no children by either of these wives.

My friends were moving last week to
their new home half way across the coun-
try. They didnt want to pack up a lot of their
cooking oils, sauces, and pantry foods for the
long drive, so they said that myself, and oth-
ers, were welcome to their leftover food. I
felt sort of guilty - like I was pilfering, or as
my Uncle Race would say, like I was doing
my Christmas shopliftingearly. But they
assured me I should take what I needed, and
in fact was handed bags of interesting foods.
Interesting, because our food habits are quite
different. My husband and I are steak-loving
carnivores. You know all about my search for
the greatest hamburger in the world. And my
friends adopted the vegetarian lifestyle quite
some years ago.
Each night, I would get home, look in the
bags, and go what the heck is this and what
do I do with it? But now that I have learned
to be somewhat adventurous with food, I was
flled with excitement already wondering
what magnifcent delicacies I could whip up.
One of the compliments, well maybe it was
the only one, my Mother ever gave me, was
that I could whip a meal up out of nothing.
Last night was the frst night I really had a
chance to use any of these new foods and
condiments. Hmmm? What did I have in the
freezer. The pot roast looked good, I cut that
up using my As Seen On TV, but purchased
in desperation at CVS, Yoshi ceramic knife.
Which by the way, I will eventually switch
all my knives to Yoshi blades it truly cuts
anything like butter. Then I Yoshid that pot
roast into chunks in preparation for shish-ka-
bobs, and went through the vegetable goodie
bag frst.
I found something that looked like a
sweet potato, but it was nearly white. Okay
thatll work, then I found something I thought
was an onion and it turned out to be the larg-
est clove of garlic I had ever seen. I have only
ever used the small bulbs of garlic with all
the cloves, or toes, but this was just one gi-
gantic clove. I cut that into normal clove size
pieces, cut up my onions, and then searched
for a marinade. I found a bottle of one in the
bag I had never even heard of before, Tam-
ari sauce. It had a wonderful smell, almost
like a German Lager. Tamari seems to be a
smoother version of Soy Sauce. I poured that
over the meat, onions, garlic, and whatever
the potato thingy was, then thought maybe it
was too bitter, so I added honey, sliced pine-
apple with juice, a little balsamic vinegar, and
some Asian Sesame sauce. After everything
was nice and marinated I shiskabobbed it all.
Valerie at The Good Earth Natural Foods
in Leonardtown would be so proud of me
when I go in her store Im always asking,
What is this? Okay what is this? How do I
use it? Im just diving in and trying now.
As you can well imagine everything
smelled wonderful on the grill. Inside I sau-
ted the leftover marinade with any remain-
ing vegetables. My next new experiment was
with Arborio rice hadnt used that before ei-
ther. I dont measure, so I added about a cup
or so of the rice to the saut mixture. After
a bit I noticed how dry that was getting, but
it smelled heavenly. I added a cup of water, a
few minutes later, another cup, then another,
whoa when will this end. If I had put on my
reading glasses beforehand I would have read
that yes, you are supposed to keep adding wa-
ter a cup at a time for at least three times. Re-
ally patient people do that I suppose. When
all that rice had swelled up it was A LOT
of rice. I hoped my husband was extremely
hungry. I went back out again to check on
the shish-ka-bobs, and found that they were
grilling nicely. Every time I would turn them
a little piece of potato would fall off and I
would eat it. The marinade had turned all
the veggies a warm caramel color. One small
caramel-colored piece was sitting lonely off
to the side and I popped that hot off the
grill into my mouth. In fact I thought it was
just hot from the grill, until I realized that
I was chewing up a piece of the garlic. You
know that Honda Civic commercial thats out
now with the big-eyed, green, fuzzy creature
thats how I felt and must have looked. My
ulcer screamed for two days and all I could
taste was garlic; garlic tea, garlic Coca Cola,
garlic toothpaste, and garlic cereal. I know
the Vampires will stay away from me now,
but Im really hoping the mosquitoes will too.
The meal was great though.
To each new days adventure,
Shelby

Beautiful Home
with Many Amenities
By Ronald N. Guy Jr.
Contributing Writer
Do you know
how many differ-
ent sports exist? Me
neither. A lot will
do. The volume
perhaps worthy of a
symbol like infnitys
horizontal 8 - is an
unknown numerical
tribute to the overwhelming popularity of ath-
letics. And no two sports are identical. Each
requires a unique skill set - some combination
of hand/eye coordination, speed, strength and
determination. If overwhelming boredom
inspired an attempt to organize this mass of
blood, sweat and tears into some sort of sport-
ing organizational chart, the frst split would
divide individual sports tennis, golf, box-
ing from team sports baseball, basketball,
football.
Considering this frst continental fssure,
Im immediately inclined to break a com-
mandment of family harmony: playing favor-
ites. While individual sports have given us
some iconic fgures Muhammad Ali, Jack
Nicklaus and Tiger Woods
and often feature brutal
man-to-man battles or, in
the case of Woods at his
height, man vs. feld, they
dont compare to team
sports. There is certainly
something honorable and
respectful about athletes
who stand alone, bear-
ing the burden of defeat
or soaking in the thrill of
victory solely. Ironically
though, it is team sports -
because they require self-
lessness, trust in others
and stress team over indi-
vidual accomplishments
- that arguably demand
more of an individual.
Team success requires
that players possess not
only self-belief but also a
transformational belief in
their teammates. When
this state is attained, and
a team is in harmony, ath-
letic competition captures
a part of the human spirit
and is in its most infuen-
tial form.
Basketball, because
its the ultimate team
sport, is the fnest athletic
orchestra. Admittedly,
thats debatablebut just
barely. Baseball is too
dependent on two players:
the pitcher and the hitter.
And while I love hockey,
its more random mosh pit
than precision choreogra-
phy. Sure, basketball has a
comparatively small roster
(12 players) and only 5 active players at a time.
But this quintet works both ends of the foor
together sorry football - and offensive bas-
ketball is as much about Xs and Os (science)
as it is about players just reading and reacting
synergistically (art). In that respect, basket-
balls incomparable.
While basketballs best are synony-
mous with multiple championship individu-
als think Magics and Kobes Lakers, Birds
Celtics and Jordans Bulls - titles arent won
by soloists. In fact, these greats didnt win
their rings by being in concert only with fel-
low stars like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Pau
Gasol, Kevin McHale and Scottie Pippen. It
also took synchronized performances with
role players like Byron Scott, Derek Fisher,
Cedric Maxwell and Steve Kerr, all of whom
played large at crucial moments, to score all
that hardware. Likewise, despite the fuss over
the James, Wade and Bosh marriage in Miami
this year, if this latest collection of all-stars is
to forge a comparable legacy to those afore-
mentioned greats, it will be as much about the
performance of The Little Nine as it as about
Miamis Big Three.
That point is one of basketballs signif-
cant social infuences. Every winning team
in sports, business and life - has its share of
A-performers: the natural leaders who con-
tribute disproportionably to the end product.
Yet, we increasingly operate in environments
where collaboration, teamwork and develop-
ing synergies between multiple disciplines
and specialties are the foundations of success.
Team endeavors are undone when stars over-
extend or when role players coast, relying too
heavily on the alpha-dogs to carry the day. A
teams top performers will
rightly have the literal and
fgurative ball in crunch
time, but the best teams,
the winning teams, can
be identifed by stars who
are willing to defer when
the situation dictates and
role players who are pre-
pared, confdent and able
to execute.
But words are one
thing; real examples are
another. Michael Jordan,
author of countless game-
winning shots and the
greatest individual basket-
ball player of all time, won
2 of his 6 titles in just this manner. In the 1993
and 1997 NBA Finals, he played the ultimate
decoy and got open looks for John Paxson and
Steve Kerr, respectively. Both coolly drilled
championship-winning shots. I guess we
could all use a little help from time to time.
Happy Fathers Day!

California native Mark Cusic came away from
the 90th Maryland State Amateur Golf Champion-
ship with the top spot.
I knew I was playing good, but I didnt know
I would go all the way, Cusic said.
He said the game was a match play, where
he went head to head against other golfers June 9
through June 12, fnally meeting up with Brett Wil-
liams from Baltimore County.
Cusic said he has been playing golf since he
was 8 years old, and was on the team at Leonar-
dtown High School, making golf a lifetime insti-
tution for him. He said having won the amateur
tournament opens up bigger tournaments for him
to play in and offers more opportunities to play.
Kevin Ferris, Cusics friend and caddy for the
tournament, said when Cusic sent him a joking text
message on Thursday when he initially qualifed
for the tournament, to say he would need a caddy
for the fnals on Sunday.
It was him being a smart aleck, Ferris said.
Cusics joke turned out to be self-prophesiz-
ing. Ferris said Cusic kept his composure well un-
der pressure, even coming in four under par for the
course, when Ferris said he himself was about to
pass out.
It was very unexpected, Ferris said.

Schools out this week, and the fsh are
biting! Most anyone who ventures to the wa-
ter can catch croakers, white perch, and spot
when bottom fshing on the Bay or the rivers.
Upriver, you can add catfsh to the mix.
Specialized bottom fshing is now pro-
ducing founder, although the 18 minimum
could be a problem. I caught three founder at the mouth of the
Patuxent River last week, but the biggest was just 17 inches.
You can bet that Ill be trying again this week.
Stripers are beginning to succumb to jigs adorned with
sassy shads and Bass Kandy Delights when fshed over and
around structure. Poppers and top water plugs should soon be-
gin to work on early morning high tides.
One of my favorite ways to fsh for rockfsh is to catch them
chasing baitfsh to the surface. We call this breaking fsh and
it is a feeding frenzy that you have to see to believe. The only
way to attack this feeding frenzy is to skirt the school wide, shut
down your outboard and drift through the melee. Motoring into
the middle of the school of fsh will scatter them. Do it wrong
and you may not see them again.
Breaking fsh have been seen at Cedar Point, over
the artifcial reef south of Point No Point, and in the
lower reaches of the Potomac River. The best times
to fnd breaking fsh are either at full tide or slack tide
when the current stops. Cast metal jigs, bucktails or
small jig heads with a twister tail to the breaking fsh
and you should do well. Metal jigs work best when
there are bluefsh in the mix. We should start to see
more bluefsh as the summer heats up.
Light tackle action is now good for white perch,
and shallow water trolling for stripers is beginning to
turn on. For white perch, fsh the shorelines around
marshes and structure. Use small spinner baits and
cast right to the shore or structure. Use a steady re-
trieve and you may hook up with some really decent
white perch. Shallow water trolling for stripers is an
interesting thing to try. Use a small bucktail with a
twister tail or sassy shad on a spinning rod. Cast it
behind the boat a few yards and idle into shallow water
around docks, rocks, and marshy shore line. The fsh
are frequently small, but you may catch one of keeper
size or bigger.
The cow-nosed rays are here, and their numbers
will increase in the coming weeks. If you try any of
the methods above, you could hook one, and it will dis-
rupt your day.
Ive just realized that July will have fve full weekends this
year. The fsh wont stand a chance!
A fshing report without at least one picture is, well, just a
story. If youre taking pictures of your catch, send me an email
and attach the picture. I need the full names of the people in the
picture. If you could tell me a little bit about the catch like
where it was caught, the bait or lure that was used, and any other
details that you care to share then Ill include the best picture
with a future article for this column. Youll get extra credit for
secret lures, baits and locations.
