- County Commissioner Todd Morgans concerns over the Lexington Park Development District Master Plan process.
www.countytimes.net
News
By Guy Leonard Staff Writer Virtually everyone who spoke at a Monday night public hearing on the proposed Lexington Park Development District Master Plan opposed some part of it, whether it was the reduction of the size of the development district by downzoning certain pieces to the rural preservation district or proposals to put connecting roads through private property criticism abounded. There were also those who chastised the staff of the Department of Land Use and Growth Management who came up with the draft plan to guide growth in Lexington Park and beyond for the next 30 years because they adhered to many new land use and environmental restrictions imposed by the state. Former county commissioner Daniel Raley, who lives on Point Lookout Road, was among the most vocal. He decried plans to reduce the zoning of his extended familys property, just over 500 acres, into the rural preservation district. This would not only reduce the size of the development district but take away property rights, he claimed, for no

Congressman Steny H. Hoyer (MD-5) released the following statement last Friday after officially filing his candidacy for re-election to represent Marylands Fifth District in the U.S. House of Representatives: I am proud to seek reelection in Marylands Fifth District, which I have been honored to represent in Congress. Throughout my career, I have fought tirelessly to protect and create good-paying jobs, put our nation on a sound fiscal path, strengthen the middle class, support our seniors and veterans, and secure fair pay and benefits for federal employees. In the Fifth District and in Washington, I will continue to work on a bipartisan basis to address these important priorities.

I remain committed to replacing the sequester in its entirety with a balanced alternative that pro tects jobs, national security, and investments in our future. I am also focused on strengthening our economy and creating jobs through the Make It In America plan Ive put forward in Congress to strengthen manufacturing and create jobs that pay well here in Maryland and throughout the country. Additionally, I remain dedicated to protecting the Medicare guarantee for our seniors, ending the backlog our veterans are facing, and ensuring equal pay for equal work. I look forward to continuing to work on behalf of Fifth District residents over the next year and earning their vote for re-election.

Business Profile
By Kimberly Alston Contributing Writer The Annual Taste of St. Marys festival will be taking place on Sunday, Sept. 15 on Leonardtown Square. The event began in 2007 as a way to promote the hospitality industry in St. Marys County. It is put together courtesy of the St. Marys Chamber of Commerce. During the event, various restaurants in and throughout the area have samples of their food for people to come sample and purchase. The event, said coordinator and president of the St. Marys Chamber of Commerce, Bill Scarafia, was put on from ideas gathered from other areas. The hospitality industry is a big part of the community, he said, adding that no other organization represents the industry. In addition to the food side of the festival, there will also be live music by the Kim Reynolds quartet as well as local rock band, Geezer. There will also be a classic car show taking place as well as various activities for children. The event has no admission charge; however, local restaurants will have food for purchase. While the first festival, in 2007, was held in conjunction with the Greenwell Fall Festival and held at the Greenwell State Park, since then, the festival has stood alone and will continue in that manner. As the years go by, the event may change slightly in correlation with the vendors and businesses that participate in the event as they make suggestions on what they would like to see happen and change in the years after. The Taste of St. Marys Festival will be taking place on the square in Leonardtown on Sunday from 12 to 4:30 p.m. For more information, visit www.smcchamber.com or contact the St. Marys Chamber of Commerce office at 301-737-3001 kimberlyalston@countytimes.net

Education
By Guy Leonard Staff Writer A study from a Baltimore based think tank says that the states requirements for teacher certification are so stringent that it is a major disincentive to prospective teachers to come here and ply their trade; that means that teacher shortages in critical teacher assignments such as math, science, foreign language and special education. But here in St. Marys County there are virtually no teacher vacancies, leading one teachers union official to say there are other reasons shortages exist elsewhere. The shortage they claim, I think, is exaggerated, said Ann Laughlin, president of the Education Association of St. Marys County. Laughlin was referring to a recent study by the Calvert Institute for Policy Research that posits that traditional certification of classroom teachers to such a degree that Maryland requires may be obsolete.

Frequenters of Leonardtown may have noticed the signs outside The Maryland Antiques Center advertising rental space. The recent sale of the property on Macintosh Run across from the Port of Leonardtown winery took many by surprise. For the dealers and artists, however, the sale means something more: the end of a St. Mary's institution. About twenty-odd years ago, the property was purchased by one remarkable woman, Dorothy Sparling, and she had a vision. She wanted to create a multi-dealer antiques and art space that as a whole, was a pleasant and warm venue for shopping and sharing, and she did just that. Unlike most antiques malls, The Maryland Antiques Center offered a pleasant, handicapped friendly space, with restrooms and then a tea cafe that became a destination in southern Maryland. Not a week would go by without a customer remarking on the clean, beautiful rooms arranged with care by the dealers at the center. Sure, there were workplace dramas. Over two dozen independent business persons under one roof is bound to create some conflict, but somehow, Dot Sparling held it all

Moreover, Kittrell said he did nothing to prepare for the derby, he just got in the car. It was crazy, it was a good experience, he said after the crashing. It was difficult, I just tried to find a car and run into it. Poole, a 20-year U.S. Army veteran who served in the first Persian Gulf War, said he has used a group known as Crash Dummies Inc., off road and demolition derby enthusiasts, to give veterans the chance to do not only demolition derbies but four-wheeling, hunting and fishing trips designed to get them to acclimate back into society after suffering serious and often debilitating battlefield trauma. When they come here theyre frowning and withdrawn but when they leave the smile on their face is all you need, Poole said. Poole and his group have helped outfit cars with new controls so that even double and triple amputees can drive and being able to take part in an activity they once took for granted and thought they would have to abandon gives them hope, he said. It makes them feel like a part of society, like theyre not pushed off into the corner, Poole said. It gets them back in the saddle to show them, yes they can do this. Poole said he has put together about eight events for wounded warriors and said his own service in the military has led him to do so. The brotherhood men and women share who have served in war zones is like none other, he said, and often the only way to help them deal with grief and loss is to bring them together. These guys have been through hell and we just want to give back to them. The events Poole organizes also help raise money to benefit wounded warriors recovery, he said. guyleonard@countytimes.net
By Guy Leonard Staff Writer Though he lost a leg to an improvised explosive device in combat in Afghanistan U.S. Army veteran Spc. DeShawn Kittrell hasnt given up taking risks. Pushing his recovery for the past year, Kittrell, a Great Mills native who just turned 20, has now turned to driving in demolition derbies as the latest in adrenaline charged activities he has used to stay active in the absence of military service and combat. Hes trained for marathons and skiing as part of his rehabilitation he hopes to return to active combat duty but driving in the demolition derby at Budds Creeks Potomac Speedway Sept. 7 was by far the most excitement in his life short of being shot at. For excitement, combat comes first but this is right up there, Kittrell said after being eliminated from the second heat at the demolition derby to benefit Silver Hill Lions Club charities. Driving a red car decked out with U.S. and prisoner of war flags and embossed with his military service decorations, Kittrell drove aggressively against other contestants
that night but after giving and taking several hits his car gave out. Sitting at the far end of the jersey-barried demolition ring, Kittrell was often pounded by other drivers inadvertently seeking to ram home on their opponents. He sat calmly amidst the metal carnage and when the final horn blew he slid easily out of his car and waited for it to be towed back to the back of the lot. He and his team were busy surveying the damage but his drubbing at the first turn of the demolition derby did not discourage him from trying again; he said he would try his hand at crashing cars next year. Kittrell said his passion for extreme sports was simple, hell try anything once. I had to push the limit to see how far I could go, Kittrell said. Harry Poole, who organized a Kicks For Heroes kickball tournament earlier this summer to benefit wounded veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, talked to him about entering the demolition derby. It didnt take long for Kittrell to take to the sport. I said yes right on the spot, Kittrell said. It seemed like fun.

Moreland Wins VanMeter Memorial, Williams Secures Fifth Track Title Friday at Potomac
By Doug Watson Contributing Writer Waldorfs Kenny Moreland was victorious for the third time this season with his win in last Friday night's Gene VanMeter Memorial at Potomac speedway. The win for Moreland, worth $2000, was the 2012 Potomac track champion's 6th career win at the speedway. J.T. Spence and Deane Guy brought the field to the initial green flag of the event, with Spence vaulting into the race lead as the pack raced into turn-one. As Spence lead, 4th-starting Kenny Moreland reached second by the 5th-lap, setting his sights on Spence. Spence's effort would come up short as he would come to a stop in turn-2, while leading, on lap-17 ending his night. Moreland would become the new race leader with David Williams in tow. Moreland, however, had the superior car and would lead the final 18 caution-free laps to post the win. "That really sucks for JT." Moreland stated in Potomac's victory lane. "He's (Spence) had some really tough luck here this season, but these wins are so hard to come by, we'll take them any way we can get them." Changes made to his winning Rocket no.24 after qualifying aided in Moreland's winning run. "We changed a few things after the heat race and this thing was awesome." Said Moreland. "We were really good on the bottom and I don't know if I was going to catch JT or not, but I have to thank my mom and dad and especially Joey Pingleton, I couldn't do this without them." With his runner-up performance David Williams claimed his 5th Potomac track title in the past 6-season's. "We didn't have a car to win tonight but we were good enough to run 2nd and bring home the championship." Williams stated. "This was a team effort and I want to thank Pete Cameron, Roland Mann and everyone who helps with this car because we set a goal for the title this season and I'm glad I was able to do for all of them." Stevie Long was third, Jamie Lathroum fourth with Dale Hollidge rounding-out the top-five. Defending Virginia Motor Speedway Late Model champion Scott Adams scored his 1st-career Potomac feature win in the 20-lap Limited Late Model headliner. Adams started on the pole and would lead every lap to score the win. With his second place feature effort, Kyle Lear was crowned the 2013 track champion. Derrick Quade was third, Daryl Hills fourth with Tyler Emory completing the top-five. Darren Alvey capped-off his stellar 2013 season with his 7th win of the season in the 16-lap Street Stock feature and his 1st-career Potomac championship in the process.

Moreland Caps Perfect Weekend With Saturday Winchester Score Track Champions Decided on Final Point Night
By Doug Watson Contributing Writer Waldorf Md.'s Kenny Moreland scored his first Late Model feature win of the season in last Saturday nights 35-lap "Denny Bonebrake Tribute" at Winchester speedway. The win for Moreland, worth $3000, was his second win of the weekend as he was triumphant for the third time in 2013 Friday night at Maryland's Potomac Speedway. Gary Stuhler and 2013 Winchester track champion Trever Feathers shared the frontrow for the start of the event with Stuhler gaining the race lead as the field raced into turn-one. Stuhler's lead would only last for 1-lap as Feathers slid into the top-spot on lap-2 and set sail. Meanwhile, 4th-starting Kenny Moreland had reached 2nd on the 9thlap, and set his sights on Feathers. Moreland would then snare the race lead from Feathers on lap-14 and run-off and hide to become the tracks 9th-different Late Model winner in the non-stop 35-lap feature. "I could get used to winning twice in one weekend." Moreland stated during his post-race interview. "That was a lot of fun racing with Trever out there tonight and I could see his car was getting a little loose and I knew my shot to get him would be on the bottom and we were able to get it done." A well balanced race car was key to Moreland's winning drive. "This car was flawless tonight." Moreland emphasized. "After the heat race we tweaked on it just a little bit, and come feature time I could move all over the track, this car was just about perfect." Feathers settled for second, Stuhler was third, CS Fitzgerald came home fourth with Ronnie DeHaven Jr. roundingout the top-five. Moreland set fast time in time trials over the 22-car field with a 1-lap time of 15.097. Heats went to Stuhler, Feathers and Fitzgerald. Andy Anderson scored his first Winchester feature win of the season in the 2nd annual "Greg Kerr Memorial" 25-lap Limited Late Model event. Winchester native James Myers darted into the race lead from the pole and impressively lead the race for the first 18-laps. As Myers lead, 4th-starting Andy Anderson and 2013 Hagerstown champion Justin Weaver battled furiously, before Anderson caught Myers in lapped traffic on lap-19 to become the new race leader. Anderson would then go on to lead the distance to score the popular win and the $1000 payday that came with it. "This is a special race to win." Anderson stated in victory lane. "I've Known Tanner and the whole family for a lot of years and I'm glad to win this race for them." Weaver prevailed for second, Myers settled for third, Michael Walls was fourth with Kyle Martin, in his first Winchester start of the season, rounding out the top-five. Heats for the 25-cars entered went to Myers, Weaver and Walls. With his 7th place feature finish, Jonathon DeHaven was crowned the 2013 track champion. Craig Parrill won for the 2nd time this season in the 15-lap Pure Stock main. Terry Staton and Buddy Wilson battled early in the feature before they tangled on lap-10, handing the lead to Parrill, who was 3rd at the time. Parrill would lead the final 5-circuits to post the win over Michael Carter. 12thstarting Mike Corbin was third, Brandon Churchey took fourth with Kevin Koontz completing the top-five. With his 7th place feature effort, David Kaiser claimed his 1stcareer Winchester title. Heats went to Staton and Carter. Mark Pollard became a 4-time Winchester winner with his victory in the 15-lap U-Car feature. Pollard took the race lead from Justin Katz on lap-8 and would then cruise to the win. Katz hung tough for second, Jason Wilkins was third, Brenda Alexander took fourth with Mark Pollard Jr. filling the front-five. With her 4th-place feature finish, Brenda Alexander became the first female driver in Winchester history to claim a track championship. Heats went to Wilkins and Katz. In the nightcap 15-lap Four-Cylinder feature Richard Gwizdale scored his 2nd feature win of the season. Cody Kershner lead for 14-laps with Gwizdale squeaking out the win as the duo came off the 4th-turn for the checkered flag.

took the greatest pride in was raising her children. Not only did Shirley take motherly pride in raising her children, but when the Lord placed it on her heart to do so, Shirley also unselfishly made herself available to every one of her grandchildren when the need and opportunity presented itself. Shirley was our Big Mama. Her past times were cooking ALL OF THE TIME, spending time and joking around with family, and watching the Washington Redskins football games with her brothers and sisters. She enjoyed watching Madea, the Young and the Restless, Perry Mason, Murder She Wrote, Matlock, Law & Order, Wrestling and all types of Westerns. But her most favorite thing to do was giving praise to her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. In ministry, one could easily find Shirley assisting in the culinary arts department and any other ministerial duties which her willing hands were called to touch even while standing on hurting legs, knees and swollen feet. But you can be rest assured that when Shirley got home from fulfilling her daily duties for any given day, it was little Jirah who would anoint Grandma Shirleys feet, legs and knees while praying Lord, please heal my Grandmama in Jesus name. Amenfollowed by a mighty Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!!! Grandmama Shirley was not ashamed to testify to anyone of how Jirahs pure, heart-felt prayers would make her feel so much better. As a young girl, Shirley was raised in St. Luke U.A.M.E Church in Piney Point, Md. under the spiritual leadership of Reverend Wallace and Dr. Reverend Rudy C. Brooks. Upon leaving St. Lukes, Shirley became a member of St. Matthews Free Gospel Church of Christ. She sat under the tutelage of the late Pastor Atwell Strong and First Lady Frances Strong as well asBishop Daniel and First Lady Elsie Mae Jones. On July 10th, 1966, Shirley married Andrew A. Dyson, Sr. They were the parents of five children, Shirley (Cheryl) Estep of Lexington Park, Md; Deborah Dyson of Piney Point, Md; Andrew (Shane) Dyson, II of Valley Lee, Md; Kevin Dyson of Lexington Park, Md; and Hope Dyson of Lexington Park, Md. Upon ending their marriage, Shirley and Andrew remained friends. On June 17th, 1995, Shirley married Charles Webb, but later divorced. Up until the day of Shirleys passing, both she and Charles remained friends as well. Of this union, no children were born, but all of Shirleys children acknowledged Charles as their step-father. In addition to her children, Shirley leaves cherished memories to five younger sisters: Joann Nunley of Piney Point, Md; Geraldine Travers of Lexington Park, Md; Mary Virginia (Connell) Smith of Lexington Park, Md; Linda (Ray) Frost of Clinton, Md; Georgia-Jean (Larry) Kyler of Forestville, Md; six younger brothers: James (Tonetta) Travers of Fayetteville, N.C.; George (Diane) Edison of Lexington Park, Md; Vincent (Kathy) Edison of Tacoma, Wash.; Earl Jordan of Philadelphia, Pa.; Roosevelt Edison of Jacksonville, Fla.; and John Edison of Lexington Park, Md.; 17 grandchildren: LaToya, LaKea, Michael, Dewon, Dewayne, Candance, Little Andy, Dominique, Jasmine, Tatyana, Jirah, Darius, Desiree, Ebony, Little Kevin, Shantell, Marlo (Drevon), and Tylejah; 8 great-grandchildren: Malik, Camille, Kieshana, Damein, CamarVea, Kaydance, Devin, and Lohgan;one godmother, Mauline Jordan; and one godson, Antonio Banks. In addition, Shirley had a special place in her heart for two special cousins, Theresa Ann Miles and Gerald Mosley. Shirley also had a special place in her heart forTimothy and Thomas Bush whom she loved as her own sons, an adoptive granddaughter Michelle Fenwick and her sons Elijah and Tremaine; her best friend, Alice Benefield, and a host of beloved family members and friends. Shirley was preceded in death by two greatgrandchildrenMicah and Ariel, and two brothers Joseph and Irving Edison; and one sister Audrey Edison.

He loved telling stories with his good buddies, Tink Farrell, Eddie Faunce, and Sonny Guy. His grandchildren would listen and fall on the ground laughing at the tales.He loved to go hunting with his grandsons and his nephews, then they would come back and tell big stories about their hunting experiences and laugh at the tales.He loved to dance with his wife, then he taught each daughter and granddaughter how to waltz. No one will ever twirl us around the floor the way our Daddy did. You felt like the whole world was watching as you danced.

In Lieu of flowers please make memorial contributions to The Hospice House of St. Marys P.O Box 625 Leonardtown, MD 20650.

I dont think Calvert County has seen anything like this before, he said. Theres no more worthy cause than feeding the hungry, she said. Maryland Senate President Mike Miller came out to support the cause. To have a blues festival in Southern Maryland is unbelievable, he said. The final count was over 1,000 people, according to End Hunger spokesperson Jackie Miller. They do not yet have a final number for the weekends proceeds.

As a closing to the 2013 Community Concert Series, the St. Leonard Volunteer Fire Department was home to Brantley Gilbert, along with Drake Whit and Corey Smith, on Sunday, September 8. Brantley Gilberts music embraces more of the rock and roll side of country music, and his unique style brings him a wider range of fans. Gilbert was nominated for the Country Music Association award for new artist of the year in 2012 and won the American Country Music award for Top New Male Artist in 2013. While his debut album was released on an independent record label, that did not stop country music fans from embracing the outlaw side of country and recognizing him as something special. While this was Gilberts first time in Calvert County, the crowd made an impact on him and he left them with a promise of return.

Chronicle
You might have noticed Ive been writing about change quite a bit lately. Well, my life is going to change completely in a month. And this proces of change started a few months back. This is an excerpt of my letter on Facebook that I wrote last week: I just want to let all my readers, friends, and customers (who are also my friends) know that I will be closing my beloved Custom Framing Shop in Leonardtown in Mid to late October. You have made my life rich and wonderful. As people have heard me say many times; listening and talking to people is the best part of my day - sometimes that is my whole day, and the framing is a sideline to that. I will continue to take in frame and painting restoration work, since I have a separate climate-controlled workshop outside of my home which I have used (and still use) for over 10 years. Im keeping all my framing equipment in case I cant find a real job (a joke among framers about having a job with a consistent weekly paycheck). The equipment will still be used in restoration work. Please know that there are long-time qualified and Certified framers (CPFs) available in our area who will use every aspect of conservation in the framing of your treasured items: Karen at Frame-A-Lot in Leonardtown, April at Mattedis Gallery in Wildewood, and Carmen of Carmens Gallery in Solomons. This October will mark my 32nd year of custom framing and you know I have loved every minute of it. In fact, October 4ths First Friday will be both an anniversary and shop closing party come on out, live music! I need to sell lots of things! But most of you also know what I have faced with my various types of arthritis. The thought of retiring from framing has entered my mind in the last year or two anyway. The Antiques Center Complex where my shop is located is under new ownership which by no means is a bad thing. The new renovations are going to make it an even better destination spot. It just gave me that little push I needed, and it is just time for me to move on and maybe use that St. Marys College of MD Social Science degree thats been laying around for 30+ years. I have been invited into several local art shows, and I have created a new line of Gypsy Vintage home decor and jewelry items called Irish Gypsy Witch Designs. Look for them soon somewhere near you : ) So, I am not retiring from life in any sense of the word. I give to you my gratitude for many years of your support, love, and friendship. Yes, my career, or lack thereof, might change. (p.s. I am available for hire now and ready for my second half career if anyone wants an old framer/Social Psych major in their company.) No offers? Darn! Am I scared? Yes, a bit. I am so comfortable behind my picking out table. I feel confidant there. But, I am also excited for all the new opportunities that await me. Just like St. Marys County, new things are on the horizon for me, but my traditions, and my love of people will always stay the same. And yes, I will still be writing Wanderings. To each new days adventure, Shelby Please send your comments or ideas to: shelbys.wanderings@yahoo.com or find me on facebook: Shelby Oppermann
