Dan Ichniowski, former executive director of the Metropolitan Commission (MetCom), is now set to come back to head the
countys water and sewer authority after current director Scott Bundys bid to have his
resignation rescinded fell flat with a majority
of the commissioners on the MetComboard.
Anne Mary Cullins, director of Human
Resources for MetCom, said that Ichniowski, who retired from the utility, will come
back as the interim chief Sept. 6.
Until that time Jacquelyn Meiser, the general counsel for the utility, would be the acting director since she was the most senior
employee with the organization, Cullins told
The County Times.
Four members of the board, Steve Willing, Alice Gaskins, Robert Russell and John
Carey voted to dismiss Bundy at the Aug. 25
meeting, while members Mike Mummaugh
and Mike Thompson voted against it.
Board Chair Brian Barthelme was not
able to vote since there was no tie in voting.
There was conflict among board members
over Bundys performance as director; some
believed he had resolved conflicts he had
with employees while others believed the
problems still existed.
Mummaugh said the move to bring Ichniowski back was unexpected.
I was very surprised that Steve Willing
approached Dan Ichniowski about returning
as interim executive director without consulting the rest of the MetCom commissioners, Mummaugh stated in an e-mail to The
County Times. I am sorry to see Scott Bun-

St. Marys County Sheriffs Office Vice/
Narcotics detectives began an investigation into the distribution of oxycodone

(Age 45 of Mechanicsville). While conducting the investigation, detectives observed Rocco Paul Bersane Jr. (Age 46 of
Mechanicsville) in possession of a crack
cocaine smoking device while seated in a
vehicle being operated by Suspect Heather
Dickerson. The vehicle was stopped, and
detectives recovered the metal crack cocaine smoking device along with a quantity
of crack cocaine, and he was arrested.
A subsequent search and seizure warrant was obtained for Suspect Dickersons

Current point leader Daryl Hills drove to
his 4th win of the season in last Friday nights
Limited Late Model feature at Potomac
Speedway. The Win for Hills, the defending
track champion, was his 19th career win in
the division.
The re draw placed Hills and Brandon
Long on the front row for the start with
Hills zipping into the race lead as the field
went hard off turn two. From that point on,
it would be a race for second, as Hills would
lead the distance in a relatively easy win
aboard his potent Rocket XR-1 no.55. This
was the best this car has been all season.
Hills stated post race. Starting up front really helped tonight, but this car was so good,
I think anyone could have driven it. Hills
positioned himself for a second straight title,
with his winning drive. Ive never been
much of a point racer, but it would be nice
for this team if we could do it. Said Hills.
With only one point race left, weve got a
shot to do it, and I couldnt do this with out
all the crew and sponsors. David Williams
came form 10th to finish second with Billy
Tucker, Derrick Quade and Brandon Long
completing the top-five.
In the companion 20-lap RUSH Crate
Late Model feature, Jeff Pilkerton drove to
his first win of the season, setting a personal
record as well. Pilkertons win would be his
50th career feature win at Potomac in a career thats spanned three decades. Pilkerton
drew the pole for the feature and made the
most of his good fortune as he would lead
all 20-laps in scoring the monumental win.
Pilkertons drive to the win was not easy,
as he had to repel the repeated advances of
eventual runner up Greg Roberson, to post
the win steering his MasterSbilt no.8. We
have had no luck this season. Pilkerton stated. When we drew the pole for the feature,
I knew I had to get out front first, and the
boys had this car as good as its been all season here. Pilkerton was relieved to get the
milestone 50th off his bucket list. Its nice
to finally get it done. a happy Pilkerton said
with a smile. Theres a lot of people who
helped me over the years and this night is for

An amazing story of huge channel bass in
schools of several acres chasing all manner of smaller fish (rockfish, mackerel and
blues) drawing big bull sharks breaching
in the middle of the feeding fish grabbing
the big reds for a meal has come from the
cut channel off the mouth of the Rappahannock . The big reds have been sighted and
caught below the Target ship in the mid bay.
Bottom fishing for croaker on the middle grounds at sunset and into the night
has been sucessful this week. Croaker in the Patuxent have been hard to
find in the heat. Perch are in the rivers in good numbers in 30 or more feet.
Rockfish are in the Potomac and Patuxent
in the evening and morning for trollers and
lure casters on all the bars and oyster beds.

parts of the canvas, then painting the sections different
colors and finally, carefully peeling the tape off, you

has definition. This free workshop will take place at the
Loffler Senior Activity Center on Friday, Sept. 9 at 10
a.m. All materials are supplied. Class size is limited.

HOMEBUYERS:
HOMESELLERS:
I love grocery shopping! I love a full refrigerator! To me, a full refrigerator means
a happy home. My Mother always had me
buy fresh every day from Nicks near our
home in Clinton, so the fridge was always
nearly empty. It was sad looking to me,
even with the huge 1970s flower decals
covering the outside. Somehow I have always associated an empty refrigerator with
an unhappy, dysfunctional home. When
our refrigerator here is filled I am the happiest person on earth.
Many women Ive talked to over the
years really prefer clothes shopping to buying food. I am perfectly happy when my
husband picks up a shirt, or pants, or shoes
for me when he has to buy something for
himself. He can spend hours happily helping grandkids shop for clothes. And I suppose I am lucky that my husband likes to
grocery shop too and cook, and vacuum.
Gosh, I must have the perfect husband.
No, my thing is grocery shopping. I
like the coolness of the store and the happy
music to put you in a good mood. Most of
all, I love seeing all the new items that come
out. If I am really wanting excitement, then
I buy a home-centered magazine or get
myself a treat usually Belvita Golden
Oat Biscuits. My treats use to be chocolate
syrup or an expensive mixed yoghurt. But
that seems to all have changed. Now, I am
always re-thinking what I am buying. Its
like I get when I have to go clothes shopping. I pick out all sorts of clothes, try them
all on, and then realizing that there are better things to spend money on like groceries- I put them all back. Well, lets be honest, after I try on all those clothes and look
in the carnival type dressing room mirrors,
I get frustrated and sad, and then put them
all back.
Sometimes I am like that with groceries
too. I want to try a food that is really special, but I cant justify the cost. Once one
of those people who let you taste samples
was in McKays letting you try a packaged lobster risotto meal. It was heavenly. I
craved it, but I knew eggs, bread, and milk
type foods were more important to get at
that time with the money I had available. I
picked up the package, put it in my cart, and
wheeled around with it awhile. I felt rich,
decadent, extravagantthen I put it back in
its case. Probably a year later when I must
have been flush with cash, I went to look for
it again and it was goneforever. Should I
have just bought it that one day, and yielded
to an extravagance, or stayed with frugality? Yes, I should have picked it up!
There are times, I throw caution to the
wind I might be in some sort of happy,
manic phase and just buy whatever I want.
Those times are so much fun, especially
when my husband hands me a hundred and
says, Can you stop by the grocery store?
WooHoo! That must have been one of the
times I was looking for the lobster risotto.
Generally though, I buy only what is on my
list. A treat for me now is a bag of dark red
cherries. Its not that I dont want cookies
and double chocolate gelato and Filet Mignon, but I am satisfied just staring at them
for a long time. Last week I did just that.
I wanted something sugary or deep-fried
and comforting so I stared at Pop Tarts and
old-fashioned sugar-coated cereals, fried
onion rings and fried shrimp packages. I
wanted everything! But I am proud of myself, I tried to stick to the healthier foods. It
worked real well at least until two nights
ago when my husband said, If I give you
$20 bucks will you run down to Chaptico
Market and get fried chicken? What, you
think I said no???
