Training, Medication
To Combat Overdoses
Available To Residents
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
As the county continues to battle the
growing abuse of heroin and opioids on
the streets of St. Marys, a medicine that
has already saved lives, naloxone, is
available to residents who attend a twohour training course in its use.
County Health Office Meena Brewster said that a little more than 60 county
residents have taken the training course
from the health department to administer the drug, also known as narcan,
that acts to bring a victim of an opioid
heroin overdose out of their stupor.
The key, she said, was to get the victim breathing again. Naloxone, once administered, knocked opiates away from
receptors in the brain and then acted as
a blocking agent to ensure that opiates
did not reattach to those receptors.
Once the opiates were removed from
the receptors, the victim should begin
to regain consciousness within a few
minutes. The reason a drug overdose
of opiates caused death was because it
depressed bodily functions, including
critical respiration, and cut off precious oxygenated blood to the brain and
organs.
Currently the deputies serving with
the sheriffs office have received the
training to successfully administer the
naloxone, Brewster said, and the health
department is working on getting all
county firefighters certified to use it.

Sheriff Timothy K. Cameron said
deputies have used it frequently to save
lives, once using the medicine as many
as five times in a two-week period.
Its tremendous, the impact its had
on our community, Brewster said of
the naloxone.
The naloxone comes in a small syringe that is assembled just before its
delivery to the victim; the tip of the syringe is not a needle, but a foam cone
that is inserted into each nostril with a
dose of the drug scattered into a mist.
The drug takes affect within minutes
by adhering to the mucus membrane
and entering the victim; naloxone can
also be administered via an intravenous
or intramuscular injection, but those
are currently unavailable through the
health department.
The dosages are given to residents for
free once they are trained and certified
and are paid for by grant money.
Naloxone only works to reverse opioid overdoses, Brewster said, and is
safe for pregnant women and children.
Signs of opioid overdose include loud
gurgling or snoring, limp body, pale
and clammy skin, bluish lips and fingertips and a slow or erratic pulse.
Shallow breathing is also a key sign
of an opioid overdose.

the NTCRA to address environmental
concerns at Site 55. The Navy intends to
remediate Site 55 by excavation and off-
site disposal, post-excavation confirmatory sampling of soil and sediment, and

site restoration.
The public is encouraged to comment
on this EE/CA. The NTCRA for Site 55
will be implemented only after the public comment period has ended. An alternative removal action may be selected
only after all comments have been received from the public. The EE/CA and

Volunteers with
Community
Opportunities
at Volunteer
Southern Maryland
The Nonprofit Institute at
the College of Southern Maryland has expanded its support
of the communitys organizations by offering Volunteer
Southern Maryland (VSMD).
This free and comprehensive
online database serves as a
one-stop shop for connecting
volunteers who wish to serve
with local nonprofit agencies
that have specific needs.
Volunteer Southern Maryland will become an integral
part of the services that our
Nonprofit Institute provides,
said CSM President Dr. Brad
Gottfried. All nonprofits
struggle to find good volunteers and this site provides
opportunities for them to find
the people they need.
The Nonprofit Institute
manages the database, a volunteer technology management system that improves
the volunteer experience and
helps nonprofits improve their
efficiencies in such areas as
planning and implementing
events, helping with office
functions, or providing assistance to clients.
Im excited that we are
able to offer this service to the
community. The matchmaking aspect of the site should
lead to greater satisfaction
on the part of volunteers, the
nonprofit community, and
the people of Southern Maryland, said Harriet Yaffe, coordinator of the St. Marys
County Nonprofit Institute.
For the partnering nonprofits, VSMD provides volunteer management functionality without increasing costs.
Partners can create an account, post opportunities for
events or ongoing needs, and
track volunteer hours. Provid-
ing a free, easily accessible

tool will aim organizations
towards a successful volunteer program, regardless of
budget constraints, according
to Yaffe.
Vivian Mills, coordinator
of the Charles County Nonprofit Institute, said, The program helps enhance the quality of the volunteer experience
while helping organizations
do a better job of planning
their events and building public support.
Having a centralized location for volunteer openings
in Southern Maryland makes
it easy for volunteers to find
relevant and meaningful opportunities and strengthen
the community, added Mills.
Groups and individuals looking for matches can search
Volunteer Southern Maryland
to find the best fit. Doing a
detailed search, people can
match their interest, location
and schedule. Potential volunteers can search by cause,
organization name, skills
needed, impact area or calendar dates. After volunteering,
individuals can use VSMD to
rate their experience, provide
feedback and share stories
through social networking
features.
The web site can be visited
at http://vsmd.csmd.edu/ . Additionally, VSMD promotes
local volunteerism through
its facebook presence. For information about VSMD or the
Nonprofit Institute, contact

Sunset on the Potomac River

It had been a beautiful mid-summer
day, one of those warm, slow moving
days; the kind that brings back memories
of your childhood when summers would
last forever. I had spent most of the day
puttering around the house and thinking
how wonderful it would be to spend some
time in my boat on the Potomac, drifting
with the breeze and casting a line for a few
perch. By the time I finally decided that
being landlocked in my back yard was a
terrible sentence for an innocent man, it
was 5:30 in the afternoon. I decided to
hitch up my ancient runabout and head for
the river. As I drove the few miles from
my home to the ramp on Paul Ellis Road,
my mind carried me back to other summer
days so happily spent alone on the river,
just me and my trusty runabout, in silence
on that wonderful body of water. In short
order I arrived at the ramp and was on my
way to the West end of Saint Catherines
Island. Small waves were breaking against
the stone riprap that lined the shore of the
island and their methodic beat brought a
gentle calming to my consciousness. I
turned the motor off and immediately the
gentle breeze took control of the boats position and I drifted slowly back toward the
mainland shoreline. The next few hours
were passed catching and releasing perch
and watching the seagulls dive for baitfish
that had schooled in the channel between
the island and the mainland. I could not
believe that on such a beautiful day that I
was the only boat in the channel. The sun
slowly made its way closer and closer to the
horizon and the nearer it came to setting,
the larger it seemed to get. When it finally
touched the horizon, I had been watching

its slow but resolute journey like a man
watching an hourglass. The sands of time
were running out on the final rays that it
would cast upon the most tranquil setting I
had witnessed on the river for many days.
The huge orange ball dipped further and
further until its very top disappeared and
left me in the light of dusk. All of this had
occurred in total silence and I had watched
it all sitting on the covered bow of my ancient runabout. I had been mesmerized by
the same beauty that man had witnessed
since the beginning of time, and time had
done little to alter its appearance over the
eons since its birth. I sat there completely
enthralled and contemplated what I had
just witnessed. I just wanted a few more
moments to absorb the serenity of my environment and I wished that I could relive the
last half-hour of my life again. Nature had
done its best to impress me with its splendor and now the moment was gone. The
beauty of the sunset was awesome, something that is indelibly etched in my mind
even though there have been many sunsets
since that special day. Sometimes when
my mind is troubled and I think I cant take
any more of the daily hassle, I let my mind
drift away to that tranquil day on the river.
I am alone, enjoying the gentle rocking of
my ancient runabout with the setting sun
casting a warm glow across a smile that has
just parted my lips. I relive those tranquil
moments in my mind again and my soul is
truly at peace.

Police Looking For

Murder Suspect, Alleged
Home Invasion Suspects Accomplices Indicted
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
Detectives with the Marland State Police Criminal Enforcement Division are
on the hunt for two people suspected in a
home invasion and assault that took place
in the early morning hours of August 9.
Police say that they responded to the
2100 block of Dana Court in Lexington
Park at about 12:30 a.m. to find that a
47-year-old female and 61-year-old male
had been assaulted by an unknown pair
of assailants who had forced their way
into the home.
According to the police, the pair, a
male and female, dressed all in black assaulted the female and took items from
the trailer and fled in a white SUV dating back to either the late 1980s or early
1990s.
The male victim was not injured but
the female victim was treated and released at a local hospital.
Anyone with information about the
home invasion is asked to call Trooper
First Class Rhett Jackson at 301-4758955 or 410-535-1400.
Calvert Man Caught in St.

Marys Underage Sex Sting
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
A man convicted of and sentenced
to incarceration for having sex with an
underage female nine years ago in St.
Marys County has pleaded guilty in federal court for trying to entice a person he
believed was 15 years old while on-line
into having sex with him.
Nicholas Edward Seskar, 41, of Lusby
was actually communicating on Facebook with an undercover St. Marys
County sheriffs deputy posing as a
young girl named Tiffany, according
to Seskars plea agreement with the U.S.
Attorneys Office.
The investigation took place back in
March in which Seskar, a registered sex
offender, carried on an on-line conversation with Tiffany that escalated in the
graphic nature of sexual discussion and
included plans to meet with the subject
to have sex with her.

Seskar arranged to meet with the undercover officer April 2, his plea agreement states, and even admitted on-line
that he had had sex with a 15-year-old
girl when he was 30.
Seskar was arrested that same day
with a cell phone he used to communicate on-line with the undercover officer;
he waived his Miranda rights, prosecutors said, and admitted to arresting officers that he screwed up and sent a
lot of explicit stuff that I wanted to do.
Seskar admitted, also, to sending a
sexually explicit picture of himself to
the undercover officer, according to his
plea agreement.
Seskar will likely be sentenced to 15
years in prison and is scheduled for sentencing Nov. 15, according to federal
authorities.

A St. Marys County Grand Jury has
indicted the main suspect in a Mechanicsville shooting that led to the killing
of Cody Michael Lacey last month at a
house party on Lavender Lane.
Alan Michael Rangel, 21, remains
incarcerated on charges of first-degree
murder but also faces an attempted
first-degree murder charge for firing on
another man at the party who was not
wounded.
Rangel was also indicted on three
counts of first-degree assault on three
other people at the party.
According to charging documents filed
against Rangel in county District Court,
numerous witnesses at the party on Lavender Lane gave matching descriptions
of the shooter, later identified as Rangel,
who fired several shots into the air after a
fight broke out on the property.
This black male proceeded to point
the handgun he was discharging at the
crowd of party attendants and fired
several more shots, court papers read.
After the black male started discharging
the firearm into the crowd the witnesses
observed the victim fall to the ground
and one witness heard the acknowledge
he had been shot.
Rangel fled the scene with another

party-goer, identified as Ronald Linzell
Scruggs, Jr., Scruggs later admitted to
police in an interview that he was there
during the shooting and told police that
Rangel had fired off some shots in the
air and some shots that went somewhere
else at the residence.
Three others have been indicted along
with Rangel in Laceys killing.
Both Wade Joshua Braithwaite and
Demetrius Jose Burks-Jeffrey, 22 face
charges of being first-and-second-degree
accessories to murder after the fact.
When police raided a residence shortly
after the killing July 25 they found both
men with a gun and ammunition that appeared to match the shell casings found
at the scene.
Both men fled with Rangel, immediately following the shooting, court papers
stated.
Also indicted for being an accessory
after the fact was Amanda Raye Hartman 24, who is alleged to have used her
vehicle drive Rangel out of the county to
various points throughout the state but
U.S. Marshals found Rangel in Jessup
two days after the shooting and returned
him to St. Marys County.

Questions Linger, Interest

Grows in Medical Marijuana
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
As a limited liability company is moving ahead with trying to get a license to
construct a facility that would be used to
grow, process and distribute medicallyoriented cannabis in St. Marys County,
law enforcement and health officials are
trying to come to grips with its potential
impacts on the community, while others
are eagerly awaiting the opportunities it
could bring.
The state cannot make an estimate
of its economic impact of communities
now but it believes that it could create
new jobs and other economic benefits
after a significant investment on the part
of the applicant for construction and security of the drug.
Last year in Colorado, retailers sold
nearly $400 million in medical cannabis, generating millions in tax revenue
for the state, according to that states
data.
Now legal for medicinal use in Maryland, the state commission that regulates
the drug is still engaged in the process of
finalizing the ground rules for its growing and use.
Those rules still being debated in
draft form likely wont be finalized until
later this year, according to the Maryland Medical Cannabis Commissions
timeline.
Whether such a facility becomes a reality here in Southern Maryland or not,
local law officers say its legality is not
in question.
The law is the law and Im hoping
they play by the rules and that the rules
are enforced, said Calvert County Sheriff Mike Evans, regarding a similar application in his jurisdiction.
Due to the stringent requirements
under which a medical marijuana facility would likely have to operate, based
on proposed regulations, Evans said he
would not consider proliferation of the
narcotic into unauthorized hands an
issue.
Its so strictly regulated I dont see
that as a problem, Evans said.
St. Marys County Sheriff Timothy K.
Cameron said he had confidence in the
intentions of those involved in the application for the facility in his jurisdiction;
he said in speaking with Peggy Danielson of Southern Maryland Relief LLC,
he learned that they intended to grow the
cannabis plant but process it to extract a
medicinal oil free from the tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) that is the narcotic
portion of the product.
Cameron said the group told him that
they did not have plans to sell plant matter even though the law currently allows
it for medical use.
The law allows for both indoor and
outdoor growing facilities, Cameron
said, but both have to be secured by either redundant fencing or specifically
mandated building styles. Multiple
points of video surveillance are required
as are security and background checks
for all employees; anyone with a felony
is disqualified from being employed at
such an operation.
The law is the law

and Im hoping
they play by the
rules and that the
rules are enforced.
Only residents issued with a statemandated card denoting their need for
medical marijuana could buy from the
dispensary and then only one person at
a time would be allowed into the room
where the drug was stored, Cameron
said of the proposed regulations.
The proposed regulations are very
tightits expansive in its requirements, Cameron said. Its a very demanding application process.
Several years ago Cameron and another chief law officer testified in the
Annapolis legislature against a medical
marijuana bill that had no provisions for
oversight that the current law affords,
but the testimony he heard from terminally ill patients about the potential cannabinoids had to alleviate their suffering
touched him deeply, he said.
But what also has touched him is the
testimony of parents statewide who have
told him and other law officers that they
have lost their children to heroin and
Photo Courtesy of iStock
opioid overdoses.
Everyone of them said it started with
marijuana, Cameron said.
This informed Camerons two main
concerns about a medical cannabis operation, that it could lead to proliferation
of the narcotic and even with stringent
security, someone involved in the operation could illegally divert some of the
drug for street use.
Cameron said he took some comfort in
knowing that the group seeking a license
to operate in St. Marys were local and
not a corporate entity with few ties or
interests in the community.
If somebodys going to do it I hope
that they will strictly follow the law and
have roots in the community and feel a
responsibility to the community, Cameron said.
There is some evidence to suggest that
cannabinoids have real-world benefits
for people suffering from a wide range
of maladies including chronic pain,
wasting syndrome and muscle spasms,
but because marijuana is listed as a
Schedule 1 drug by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, it is not considered to have any medical value.
Having the drug switched to Schedule
2, which includes opioids, would give
scientists much greater access to it for
research.
Dr. Meenakshi Brewster, county
health officer and head of the St. Marys

County Health Department, said the
data on medical marijuanas effectiveness can be contradictory since the quality of studies conducted varied widely.
There is good data, but not great
data, Brewster said, who added that
marijuana was far from harmless.
We need to ensure there are strong
regulations.
Use of marijuana, when it includes the
THC element, can lead to short term impairment of mental and motor functions
and long term use can even lead to mental illness, she said.
Worse yet, when used consistently
starting at a young age, particularly when
smoked, marijuana can lead to serious
problems with mental development.
Marijuana abuse is a significant public health issue, Brewster said. It is a
known gateway drug, just like tobacco
and alcohol.
Brewster said there is no firm evidence
that shows recreational use of marijuana
by young people is affected by its legal
status for medical purposes, but she
said the drugs use by young people is
significant.
According to the states 2013 Youth
Risk Behavior Survey a little over 31
percent of young people in St. Marys
County said they had tried marijuana at
least once in their lifetime.
Southern Maryland Relief LLCs
representative Danielson declined to
comment for this article, but said the
response to her groups intentions are
encouraging.
Most of the feedback were getting is
positive, she said.
In e-mail communications with the
Commissioners of St. Marys County,
Danielson said her motivation to pursue medical marijuana cultivation was
due to her nieces diagnosis of Rett Syndrome, a neuro-developmental disorder.
County commissioners have signaled
their desire to learn more about medical
cannabis but have so far offered only a
tepid response to the license application.

The new governing board of the Mother

Catherine Spalding Academy, now an independent Catholic school in Helen, says that
their efforts to reinvigorate the school have
paid off with about 135 students registering
for the upcoming academic year.
Marcos Lindekugel, spokesman for the
board of trustees, which now oversees the
school after the Catholic Archdiocese relinquished control last year, said that the new
enrollment figures surpass last years enrollment of 122.
The communitys been really supportive, Lindekugel said. Everyones looking
forward to what the year will bring.
The board of trustees has continued with
its policy to offer a rate cap on families with
a large number of children, which means
essentially that some students will be subsidized by the overall tuition revenue the
school brings in.
We believe someone who has Catholic
values should be able to afford a Catholic
education, Lindekugel said.

The school has also extended its science,
technology, engineering and mathematics
(STEM) program, he said and renewed its
focus on skills like public speaking.
The school has also instituted a reading
program for younger students that aims to
introduce them to classical literature and
will continue with its after-school computer
programming club.
The schools opening is set to take place
Aug. 26.
Last year parents decided to act when
they learned that the archdiocese was going to close the school for lack of enrollment
and tuition; the quickly formed an activist
group to explore ways to keep the school
open and opted for a board of trustees to operate it as an independent academy that still
adhered to Catholic values.
Under an agreement with the diocese,
the board of trustees was able to retain the
building in Helen for the new academy.
Coding for Kids
By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
Does your child like computers? Do they
spend their free time playing Minecraft and
finding new games on the Internet? Check
out Drop In Computer Programming at a library near you!
Calvert Library uses coding programs
through code.org, according to Web Designer
and Public Services Librarian Carrie Raines.
Participants can use computers located at the
library for drop in coding.
We encourage parents to help along, she
said, adding that parents can either work with
their child on the same computer or use an adjacent one to follow along.
Activities include Disney characters and a
variety of games to teach students the basics

of coding and, eventually, how to create their
own games. There are lessons for children
ages 5 through 13, Raines said.
Weekly drop in coding classes are soon
to be implemented countywide. Currently,
they are held every Tuesday from 5:30 to 6:30
p.m. at library in Prince Frederick. Starting
on Aug. 19, they will be held every Wednesday from 5 to 6 p.m. at the Fairview Branch.
Classes will be held every Thursday at the
Twin Beaches and Southern branches starting Sept. 17.

Family dinners have long been considered a very important bonding time, and
theres no better place to do so than at
Avenue54, a restaurant and catering service located in The Wildewood Villages.
Beginning in 2012, co-owners Daniel
Snydeman and chef Claude Dukes operated Avenue54 as a strictly catering
business, providing food services for
events including birthdays, weddings
and holiday parties, said Snydeman.
My business partner, he has been in
the food business for a while. With his
love of food, and my business side
we wanted to expand and try to go into
the restaurant avenue, he said. After
moving into The Wildewood Villages,
Snydeman and Dukes worked hard to
create a restaurant with a friendly atmosphere, inspired by the kindness and love
of cooking shared with Dukes by his late
mother, who passed away in 2009, according to Avenue54s website. Now, the
restaurant and catering business specializes in southern comfort and soul foods,
some of which are made from old Dukes
family recipes.
A lot of people do like the fried
chicken, fried chicken and meatloaf are

Snydeman said.
The restaurant, now serving, is planning to have a grand opening in the near
future. Snydeman and Dukes intend to
release a date after renovations within
The Villages have been completed. Be
sure to keep an eye out for the date! Updates regarding events and other hap-
penings at Avenue54 can be found on

From my Backyard to our Bay

A St. Marys County Residents Guide to Improving Our Environment and Drinking Water
From My Backyard
to Our Bay was first
developed by the Baltimore
County Soil Conservation
District. From there, the
booklet was given to each
of the Soil Conservations
Districts in the Chesapeake
Bay watershed area for
customization. If the 77
million residents who live in
the watershed area of the
Chesapeake Bay read this
booklet, and took to heart
its suggestions and best
practices, the Chesapeake
Bay would see a dramatic
increase in health. Obtain
a FREE copy of the
booklet by going to the St.
Marys River Watershed
Association, smrwa.org and
downloading it. The booklet
is available from your local
library; Chicken Scratch in
Park Hall; The Greenery
in Hollywood; Good Earth

District in Leonardtown.

tributaries. Along the way it will pick up
and carry with it the things that we put
on the ground.
Nitrogen and phosphorus are nutrients.

They serve as essential food for living
things, but too much can be lethal to
the Bay. Too many nutrients spawn the
growth of algae that can be toxic to
marine life, pets, and humans. When
those algae die, they remove life-giving
oxygen from the water and create
dead zones where fish, oysters,
clams, and crabs cant live because
they cant breathe.
Sediment is soil that washes into the
Bay when it rains. It clouds the water
and prevents underwater grasses
from growing. These grasses produce
oxygen and provide a place for young
fish and crabs to develop and thrive.
So whos responsible?

Jonathan DeHaven continued

his mid season surge as he scored
the win in last Saturday nights
30-lap Limited Late Model feature at Winchester Speedway.
The win for DeHaven, worth
$1,500, was his second win in
a row and fifth of the season
aboard his Swartz chassis, PJ1
Race Cars, no.13D.
The re-draw placed Brian
Booze and Bruce Kane on the
front-row with Kane jumping
into the early race lead. Kanes
lead would last only one lap as
Brian Wright zipped past Kane
to become the new pace setter
on the second circuit. As Wright
lead, fifth-starting Jonathan DeHaven settled into second and
the race was on. As the duo
raced side by side and in and
out of lapped cars, DeHaven
was able to overhaul Wright on
lap-25 and lead the remaining
laps to collect his sixth overall
feature win of the 2015 season.
That sure was a lot of fun racing with Brian for the win out
here tonight. DeHaven stated in
his track side interview. Those
lapped cars got pretty hairy and
I wasnt sure which of us was going to mess up first trying to get
by them, but Brian drove a great
race and Im glad we were able
to get by him and get the win.
A multi grooved surface played
a factor in DeHavens winning
drive. Greg had this place perfect again tonight. DeHaven
remarked. Our car came to life
after halfway and we were able
to move all over the race track
and find where our car was working the best. Wright held tough
for second, Travis Stickley was
third,17th starting Wesley Bonebrake took fourth with Tyler
Horst rounding out the top-five.
Heats for the 18 entries went to
Kevin Deremer and Bruce Kane.
Darin Henderson wired the
field to collect his third win of
the season in the 20-lap RUSH
Crate Late Model headliner.
Henderson, who lined up second for the start, darted into the
race lead on lap-one and would
lead the distance to post his fifth
overall checkered flag of the season in RUSH competition. Its
been a rough couple of months.
Said Henderson. We wrecked
this car the last time out at Potomac and the guys worked their
guts out getting this thing ready
and to win the first time back out
with it is just awesome. Trans-

The Coastal Arts Market showcases

Beths Jewelry Shop. Beth Myers was born
in Annapolis Maryland. Her parents moved
to St. Marys County they stayed here until Beth was in the eighth grade then they
moved to Montgomery County. As an adult
Beth moved back to St Marys County in
2013, Beth and her husband live in Mechanicsville, Md.
In November of 2013 Beth and her cousin
went to a chain maille jewelry class, once
she made that first piece that was it, she was
hooked. Beths husband calls chain maille
her addiction, all artists and craftsmen can
relate to that addiction. When Christmas
rolled around Beth sold some of her first
pieces of jewelry to her neighbor and friends
thats when she got the idea, hey I can do
craft shows. So she gave her little business
the name Beths Jewelry Stop and did her
first event in March of 2014!
We asked Beth what was her favorite
piece to make and her reply was the byzantine bracelet, as for colors she likes to work
with lots of color combos and shes always
thinking of new color combinations. If she
had to narrow it down to just one favorite
her Maryland crab bracelet would make the
top of the list. Beth loves putting together the
small copper rings in the different patterns,
that turns into earrings, bracelets or a necklace then someone comes along that likes her
work and sees something that makes them
happy, its always good to make happy customers. All though Beth has only been doing
shows for about a year she enjoys doing the
craft fairs, flea markets and events because
she meets the nicest people. She likes getting
to know her fellow crafters, and has made
so many new friends in the past year.

Migration to
Rowan County, NC
By Linda Reno
Contributing Writer
About the year 1794, a number of Episcopal families removed from Maryland
to the western part of Rowan [Rowan
County, N.C.], among them two families
of Barbers, and other families by the name
of Gardner, Chunn, Harrison, Alexander,
Lightell, Mills, Swan, Reeves, Burroughs,
and c. The Rev. Richard W. Barber of Wilkesboro, is descended from Elias Barber,
the patriarch of one branch of the Barber
family, and the Rev. Samuel S. Barber of
Hyde county, is descended from Jonathan
Barber the patriarch of the other branch.
[Elias Barber, Revolutionary War soldier,
and Jonathan Barber were the sons of
Luke Barber and his wife, Ann].
Mr. Chunn was the grandfather of the
Chunns of this countyThe late Ar-
chibald Henderson was often heard to remark that Rev. Thomas F. Davis, later the
Bishop of South Carolina, said to him that
Mr. William Chunn, the father of Mrs. Susan W. Murphy, was "God's Gentleman,"
meaning thereby that he was endowed
by nature with all the traces and genuine
characteristics of a true, cultured christian gentleman[William Chunn married
Susanna Wainwright, sister of Elizabeth
Wainwright, wife of Elias Barberdaughters of William Wainwright and Tamar
Davis].
Mr. Charles Nathaniel Mills, with
his family, removed soon after his arrival
to Iredell county, where his descendants,
including a portion in the Northwestern
States, and a few in Salisbury, now number several hundred. [He was the son of
John Mills and Elizabeth Reeves; his wife
was Elizabeth Ryal].
The Rev. Hatch Dent, an Episcopal clergyman, and an uncle of the Barbers [incorrect], came out with this colony. He
purchased 661 acres of land, in Mt. Ulla
township, where Dent's mountain is situated, being that part of the Boyden and Henderson plantation called "the Dent Tract."
The Reverend gentleman remained but a
few years only. Parson Dent and Jonathan
Barber had married two Misses Swan,
aunt and niece [incorrect], and the parson
on returning to Maryland, left his nephew
[by marriage] in charge of this tract of
land, just mentioned, giving him the use
of it rent-free for ten years. [The wife of
Hatch Dent was Judith Poston; his sister
Catherine Dent married Samuel Swann,
Jr. and their daughter Elizabeth married
Jonathan Barber]. (A History of Rowan
County, North Carolina by J. J. Brunner,
1881, Salisbury, N. C.
Hatch Dent, Revolutionary War soldier

and one of the Maryland 400, did return
to St. Marys County and became the first
principal of Charlotte Hall School.
Charlotte Hall School. At the Cool
Springs, in St. Mary's County, a high
healthy situation is now open and ready
for the reception of boys. In this school
will be taught the Latin, Greek, and
French Languages, the English Grammar, Writing and a complete system of the
Mathematics by the Rev. Mr. Hatch Dent,
principal and professor of Languages, and
Mr. Henry Lyon Davis A.B. late professor of Languages in Dickinson College,
and professor of the Mathematics and the
French Language, in this School. (Centinel of Liberty, Washington, D.C., February 24, 1797).

Wanderings
of an Aimless Mind
Tidbits
Birthday
Surprise
Shelby Oppermann
Contributing Writer
I am so thankful that my sons

agreeably go along with most anything their mother proposes. Maybe it is because that is all theyve
known. So, last Thursday when I
called both of them suggesting a
birthday party for Tidbits 13th
birthday at Dorsey Park, they both
readily agreed. They probably
still remember their grandmothers elaborate parties for all of her
dogs. So I grew up with it too. Dixie cups and cake were always at
the doggie birthday parties, and
my Mother would usually make
their favorite food: Spaghetti. In
fact, my mother cooked full meals
for her dogs most of the time, even
if she did not eat herself. Personally, I planned on a simple party of
hot dogs, pork and beans, and ice
cream cake. I love the little bags
of Match-light charcoal just
enough for one cook out.
My oldest son brought the side
dishes and drinks and my younger son brought other nibbles and
his fianc and my grandchildren.
Quite a grand party for a little
hound dog. I didnt say a word
to Tidbit. Normally I would say,
Guess who you are going to see
later? Robert and Ryan! Then
she would get all worked up. But
this time I thought I would keep it
a surprise and I didnt even mention the word park either. I read
somewhere that dogs can learn
400 words or more. I know that
Tidbit understands quite a few.
I was so excited. It was supposed to rain, but Dorsey Park
has a nice pavilion and two fire
grates left. We used to use the nice
block built fire grates down in the
trees, but I think they may have
been vandalized. We were lucky
and it only drizzled. The evening
was cool and the hot dogs on the
grill were perfect. I cooked the
two cans of pork and beans like
my father always did by peeling
off the paper on the cans, opening
the cans and heating them directly

on the grate. Then I remembered
something essential I forgot: oven
mitts. No worries, I had an old
towel in the back of the car. (As
two of our dear friends know, my
memory seems to be slipping
next time I swear I will remember
to stop).
The kids were able to play
down at the playground and Tidbit
(and all of us) ate til we couldnt
eat anymore. I knew she was
happy when she laid down in the
cool sand outside the pavilion.
Then it was time for the ice cream
cake, which had melted considerably even though it had been in
the cooler. It didnt matter what
it looked like, it still tasted good.
My sons took Tidbit and little 2
year old Liam down to the basketball court to walk off some of
the food I should have done the
same thing.
I really could have stayed longer and it was such a pleasant evening. It is always nice when I have
both my sons together. But when
they got back, we started to clean
up. Not all the beans were eaten,
so one one of my sons poured
what was left down by a tree. Of
course we were all busy and no
one noticed for a minute that Tidbit had followed her nose right to
the beans and like she has done
with other dropped or disposed of
foods gobbled them up. Uh Oh,
it couldnt be as bad as the deviled
egg incident I hoped. Later I was
to find out that it was. I asked both
my sons if one of them wanted
to take Tidbit home with her, but
suddenly they were coming up
with reasons why not. Good thing
the rain held off, because the car
windows were staying down!
To each new days adventure,
Shelby

Comfort
From My
Community
Laura Joyce
Contributing Writer
I took a leave of absence for the past three
weeks so that I could care for my mom around
the clock. She was nearing the end of her life
and my brothers and I had promised her that
we would do everything in our power to make
sure she didnt have to leave her home. Even
before these last few weeks, though, it seemed
as if time flew by with a steady stream of doctors appointments and crisis calls and trips
back and forth over the Solomons Bridge: there
was always a difficult feeding tube that needed
adjustment or a prescription that needed to be
picked up or one of the countless other things
that require attention when someone has a terminal illness. Because of that, the last month is
something of a blur, but I wasI am, and always will begrateful that I was able to be with
my mother, despite the challenges and difficulties and exhaustion.
I was there with her in the middle of the
night, awake and holding her hands, as she let
out one long sigh and then stopped breathing.
It was scary and heartbreaking and profoundly
moving: all of the things you would think it
might be. My aunt and I washed her face and
took off the wedding band she never removed,
and then we dressed her. Those quiet moments,
saying goodbyewhat they were like, what
we said, how we feltare our private final
memory.
It was strange, with so much time to prepare for her death, to feel so stunned when she
passedand yet I did. Its a clich, but maybe
its true that we cant ever really prepare ourselves for the loss of someone we have loved so
long and so dearly.
Afterward, I went through all of the necessary motions, making the calls that had to be
made, doing the things that had to be done. I
planned the visitations and the funeral, just
as she wanted them. I met with the priest and
bought clothes for the boys, who had outgrown
their dress shoes and suits. I wrote her obituary
and a eulogy for the funeral; I picked out readings for the Mass; I sifted through hundreds of
pictures in an attempt to best portray her full
and happy life. Although I only realized this in
retrospect, what I didnt do during the days immediately after she died was stop and grieve; I
kept myself busy.
On the day of Moms funeral I dressed in dark

colors and got in the car and greeted mourners at the visitation. It wasnt until we left the
visitation and headed toward the church for the
funeral that the pace slowed: there was nothing
distracting me, nothing that I had to do in those
moments, and so the feelings came.
As we left Brinsfields, the long procession of
cars arrived at Route 5. With her police cruiser
blocking the intersection so that we could drive
through, Deputy Smolarsky stood at attention,
her hand to her forehead in a salute as we passed.
I was surprised for a moment: my mother wasnt
a veteran, and I was pretty sure that Deputy
Smolarsky didnt know who had passed, or who
was passing, but I felt that her silent salute, her
standing at attention, honored and acknowledged something bigger than all of us: death, or
a life well-lived, maybe both. In that moment, I
finally felt the tears well up.
As we drove slowly along Route 5 toward St.
Marys City and the church, driversnot every
single one, but many of thempulled to the
shoulder on the opposite side of the road. Ive
seen this happening once or twice before when
Ive encountered a funeral procession passing
by. If youve always lived here you may not realize that this doesnt happen everywherebut it
does happen here, in Southern Maryland, and it
says something about the customs and heart of a
small town. Even when the police cars no longer
blocked the intersections for us, most of the cars
coming toward us in the opposite lane pulled
to the side of the road and stopped, waiting as
we passed. Despite having seen this custom before, it was the first time that I realized what it
meantor at least what it meant to me.
On the day I buried my mother, this person
I have known and loved with all of my heart
for all of my days, my community stopped; the
people passing made time stand still for just a
minute. They didnt know my mom; they didnt
know her incredible smile, her wide-open heart
and what a gifted artist she was and how she left
every home, every room, every place she ever
entered more beautiful. They didnt know who
was passing by, but they stopped anyway and
honored this stranger who had passed, who was
now passing them, and in doing that, they gave
me comfort that I will never forget.
