One of the blessings I celebrate

this Christmas is my friends and
family across the St. Marys and
Calvert County Times region.
The incredible loyalty of our friends
(readers) and the constant dedication of our family (advertisers and
Times staff), has made it possible to
reach the 10 year milestone.
While we have enjoyed several
evolutions of who we are during
that 10 year span, our place in the
lives of our communities is that of
the good news newspaper. No, we
dont report just the good news, but
we make a conscious effort throughout our organization to highlight the
best of people and community organizations in the counties we serve.
St. Marys and Calvert Counties
are great places to live, work and
play. Your County Times will
continue in the coming years to
highlight the blessings we all enjoy
from our friends and family living
here. Filled each week with stories about local heros making your
neighborhood a better place and advertising from local businesses that
support our community, you can
count on us to be your good news
newspaper.
Over the past 10 years, I have had
the pleasure of relying on a great
staff to follow through with the mission of our organization each week.
Many of those associates have been
with us the entire time and are
working as hard as ever to assure the
success of your community paper. I
am forever grateful of the blessings
these men and women have provided, especially my son Eric McKay,
Tobie Pulliam, Guy Leonard, Jen
Stotler, Sarah Williams and Frank
Marquart. Our contributors Linda
Reno, Shelby Oppermann, Laura
Joyce, Ron Guy, Ken and Linda
Lamb and Doug Watson
Counting the blessings would not
be complete without counting two
recent and very special additions
to our family. I could not be more
pleased and honored than to have
Dave Spiggy Spigler and Richard
Dick Myers join our family.
Everyone knows the great Dave

Spiggy Spigler! Most of you
know Dave from his many years
as one of the famous Redskin Hogettes. Dave has spent the majority
of his life changing peoples lives
for the better with his work as a Hogette. From his work helping to find
missing children to the unbelievable
efforts of raising millions of dollars
for Childrens Hospital, Daves work
has just been remarkable.
While Dave has retired the Hogette dress, he has not retired his
dedication to making lives better.
We are so proud to have Dave as one
of our family, featuring stories each
week about great people and organizations making our community
great. Welcome Dave to the good
news newspaper.
There is no more recognizable
voice in radio than that of Richard Dick Myers. Yet it could be
said that there is no more recognizable professional in media, government, and community than Dick
Myers in the Southern Maryland
region. Dick brings to our organization an impeccable reputation
that has been earned in service to
SouthernMaryland.
Dick elevates the quality and
competency of our news room with
his many years as editor and reporter across numerous print and social
media outlets. Dick has worked his
magic at major news outlets in all
three Southern Maryland counties,
most recently with The Bay Net.
A Georgetown graduate, Dicks resume is lauded with experiences
that are certain to shine through in
your community newspaper over
the coming year. Welcome Dick to
the good news newspaper.
As you see, my Christmas is filled
with blessings, number one of which
is my wife, Laschelle. As our many
friends and family contemplate the
challenges that lie ahead in the coming year, it is my Christmas wish
that your County Times will be a
blessing you can count.

The day off for Calvert County students
to attend the county fair could be a victim
of Gov. Larry Hogans initiative to start
school after Labor Day. A committee has
recommended using the Fair School Day as
one of the five days that must be made up.
The committee also recommended cutting
the other four days from Spring Break.

In a short written briefing for the commissioners, Director of Economic Development Linda Vassallo said, The renovation and expansi0n project will allow for
enhanced patient safety and satisfaction,
along with operational efficiency.
Teague said to pave the way for the project the hospital received authority from the
Maryland Health Services Cost Review
Commission for a rate increase.
Teague said the hospital aims to provide
care locally whenever possible; if the patient has to be transferred to another hospital for surgery or care, then they aim to get
that patent returned to CMH for recovery.
According to CMHs website, There
are 267 active and consulting physicians
representing over 40 different specialties.
Over 1,000 dedicated employees help CMH
provide the very best for our patients. An
additional 176 volunteers help add those
special touches you will notice during
your stay here.
Calvert Memorial Hospital, in addition
to its main campus in Prince Frederick, has
medical office buildings in Dunkirk, Solomons, Twin Beaches and Prince Frederick.
Statement of Comptroller
Peter Franchot Regarding
Updated Revenue Estimates
The following is a statement from Maryland Comptroller Peter Franchot released
today during a meeting of the Board of
Revenue Estimates in the Treasury Building in Annapolis.
Id like to thank my fellow members of
the Board of Revenue Estimates Treasurer Nancy Kopp and Department of
Business and Economic Development Secretary David Brinkley as well as Bureau
of Revenue Estimates Director Andrew
Schaufele, his staff, and the Revenue Monitoring Committee for their hard work.
Today, Marylands Board of Revenue
Estimates voted to reduce the revenue projections for the State of Maryland for Fiscal
Years 2017 and 2018 by a total of $38.3 million, which is $13.8 million for Fiscal Year
2017 and $24.5 million for Fiscal Year 2018.
These reductions underscore the reality
that our economic recovery remains weak.
Wages and incomes continue to grow at a
subdued rate and many Marylanders and
small business owners are still struggling.
Calvert Memorial Hospital (CMH) is going to be a construction zone for the next
three years. The hospital is embarking on
a $50 million, 50,000-square-foot addition.
The plan was unveiled by CMH President
and Chief Executive Officer Dean Teague
in a meeting Dec. 13 with the county
commissioners.
Teague explained that the expansion will
add 20 state-of-the-art private rooms intended to allow the facility to follow trends
seen nationally, where 38 percent of hospital rooms are private.
The private rooms will allow family to
stay overnight with the patient. Its all
about taking care of the patent and the familys needs, Teague said.
Teague said the hospital has plenty of
parking spaces even after the addition, but
some of the spaces will be disrupted by the
construction.
Also during the construction, the emergency room entrance will be changed to the
hospitals main entrance. Teague explained
that there already has been some construction at the hospital main entrance to accommodate handicapped patients for the emergency room.
Our projections indicate that there will

be three percent growth in our sales and use
tax revenue for the current and the next fiscal years, which serves as a positive indicator that Marylanders are spending more.
Thats not a return to normal, but it is a step
in the right direction.
Whether its a temporary indicator or a
prolonged trend is uncertain. State policymakers can help by not doing harm to consumer confidence. We cant assume were
around the corner from returning to the
way things have been in Maryland.
We have to be more forward-looking
about how we borrow money as a state because we cant sustain our current patterns
of debt accumulation without provoking
actions that could harm an already fragile
economy. But if we maintain a cautious
mindset, Marylands economy is strong
enough to withstand this slow recovery and
return us to prosperity.

CSM Offers First Course

in Small Unmanned
Aircraft Systems
A groundbreaking class being offered
for the first time next month at the College
of Southern Maryland could help you be
among the first pilots in Southern Maryland certified to use drones commercially.
Students will come away from the course
with their own drone and the necessary
software, along with the skills to use it.
CSMs two-week, 18-hour Introduction to Small Unmanned Aircraft System
(sUAS) course (AVN-5000) instructs both
hobbyists and professionals how to fly
drones safely and legally, prepare for the
FAA certification test and access new opportunities. As of August 2016, FAA pilot
certification is required of anyone operating a drone for business purposes.
The first course will be offered at the La
Plata Campus beginning Jan. 31. A future
offering is being scheduled at the Leonardtown Campus later in the spring.
The College of Southern Maryland is
excited to offer our initial course on this
emerging technology, Dr. Daniel Mosser,
CSM vice president of continuing education and workforce development, said.
Participants will gain a better appreciation for drones and an understanding of the
wide range of industry applications while
learning how to operate their own drone
included with the course.
While many may consider sUAS or
drones as merely the newest in remote
control airplanes and a cool tool for aerial
videos, this course will show that drones
pose the biggest opportunity for commercial use. Industries like agriculture, construction, insurance, public safety as well
as small and entrepreneurial businesses
will realize tremendous economic benefit
from using this new technology. In fact,
the use of drones is projected to be a gamechanging technology for many areas of the
workforce.
There are so many opportunities that
are just now being realized, Joel Kini-
son, the CSM course instructor said. The

courses hands-on Knowledge-to-Action
courseware, which was tested and vetted by
the State University of New York, will offer insight into the many business and employment opportunities created by drones.
Kinison said he is particularly interested
in seeing first responders (search & rescue
workers) take the course and see how the
technology could assist in their work.
Kinison notes that the training will be
intense because he will be preparing both
professionals and hobbyists for the FAA
Airman Certificate with a sUAS rating,
which is required for pilots to fly commercially. For those new to flying we will log
time using flight simulator software and
flying drones in a controlled space, which
will prepare operators to operate in more
challenging environments, he said.
Topics covered in the course will include
flying multi-rotor and fixed-wing drones,
indoor flight training, diverse flight systems, maintenance, registration and certification requirements, safety, insurance, industry applications, featured systems (DJI,
3DRobotics, etc.), emerging technologies
and the latest FAA policies. The course
includes a workbook, a quadcopter with
camera and computer flight simulator with
radio controller. Each student will participate in a Top Gun piloting competition and
receive a training certificate upon completion of the course.
The course was developed by CSM in
partnership with SkyOps, a technology
transfer company that creates training experiences that prepare the American workforce for new jobs and business models
created by emerging technology. This partnership between the college and SkyOps
allows CSM to lead innovation in the region by offering a nationally recognized
curriculum, according to Mosser.
From College of Southern Maryland
CSM Launces $10

Million Campaign
Melissa Chambers of White Plains was

all smiles as she leaned over the table to
write out her donation to the College of
Southern Maryland Foundation on Impact
Tuesday, Nov. 29, at CSMs La Plata Campus. CSM made such a difference in my
life, and I just want to make a difference
in someone elses life, Chambers, a 2011
grad and current CSM employee, said. Im
very appreciative of my time here.
Chambers was one of 271 donors who
responded to the CSM Foundations public launch of its $10-million Make An
Impact campaign, celebrated at all three
campuses on CSMs fifth annual observation of Giving Tuesday. The public launch
garnered $70,152 in donations, which was
nearly double the $36,424 raised last year
from 163 donors. The campaign, Make
An Impact: Invest Today to Transform Tomorrow, aims to raise $10 million by 2018,
when the college will celebrate its 60th anniversary. The campaign will benefit three
areas scholarships, programs/facilities
and entrepreneur partnerships.
I cant believe the amazing results from
Impact Tuesday, said Nancy Hempstead,
first vice chair of the CSM Foundation
Board. We far exceeded our goals. What
a great beginning as we embark on the public launch of our $10 million campaign. I
am so proud to be part of the CSM Foundation Board and the community in which we
serve. This is a true testament to the partnerships that exist between our students,
faculty, employees, local businesses and
others in our community.
Traditionally, Giving Tuesday follows
Black Friday, Small Business Saturday
and Cyber Monday as an opportunity to
emphasize philanthropy after those days of
frenzied consumerism. This years Giving
Tuesday included celebrations held at each
campus, at which CSM Foundation directors, college employees and students assisted in the Nov. 29 public launch of the
campaign. Donations made during CSMs
24-hour online Giving Tuesday event of
Impact Tuesday were directed to several
initiatives to inspire, influence or innovate in the community, including scholarships to help students afford degree programs and career and trades programs as
well as support for the arts, athletics, the
St. Charles Childrens Learning Center at
CSM, the Center for Trades and Energy
Training, Entrepreneur and Innovation Institute, and STEM.
More than a dozen students who have
benefited from scholarships, one of the
areas designated for the donated funds, attended the campus celebrations, including
Bradley Bears of Waldorf, a second-year
accounting student at CSM, who said he
supported the campaign so as to help the
people coming [to CSM] after me.
I wanted to help people out the way they
helped me, said Michelle Collins of Waldorf, a current CSM nursing student who
has received scholarship assistance and

also worked as a volunteer with Bears.
Beyond collecting donations, CSM Development Director Chelsea Brown explained the Giving Tuesday goal was to
involve at least 200 donors in the Nov. 29
event, and it was designed to encourage
even very small donations, so that every
member of the community could invest in
the campaign. For example, two current
students, Victoria Wheeler and Kevonna
Dunnington, both of Waldorf, stopped by
the La Plata Campus celebration just to investigate the festivities but after learning
about the campaigns goals and that even
small donations were welcome and could
make a difference, they both pulled out a
few dollars to donate toward the cause.
Linda Cox, a director with the CSM
Foundation and a member of the first graduating class at the current La Plata Campus, along with her niece and CSM alumna,
Lisa Case, helped staff the event and promoted the Cox Family Memorial Endowed
Scholarship, one of many matching scholarship funds participating in the drive. The
Cox family scholarship was started in 1991
initially in honor of Lindas mother-in-law
and later her husband, Donald; Lisas mother, Marilyn; and a brother-in-law, John
Cox. The college has always been part of
our lives, Cox said. She said she wants to
support its new initiatives and its continued
growth in the community.
For others, the opportunity to donate toward a specific scholarship motivated their
involvement in the Make An Impact
campaign launch. Susan Strickland, who
has taught math at the Leonardtown Campus since 2001, chose to donate $1,000 toward the Charles Walsh Memorial Scholarship. Strickland had a long association with
Walsh, who had a 50-year teaching career
in St. Marys County that spanned three to
four generations of families. He started at
the college as an adjunct professor in 1983
teaching math and chemistry and then became an associate professor in 2003 until
his retirement in 2015. He passed away in
April 2016.
It means a lot to me to be able to contribute to a scholarship in Charlies name,
Strickland said. Charlie spent his entire
life involved in education, whether as a
teacher, an administrator or as a professor
at CSM He would be deeply humbled at
having a scholarship in his name, but knowing that the money could benefit a student
who might not otherwise be able to enroll at
CSM would mean the world to him.
Walshs daughter, Dr. Kathleen Walsh,
who helped establish the memorial scholarship to honor her father, said in an email,
It was so touching to see that so many
folks donated in such a short time and even
several colleagues saw and donated after
Giving Tuesday. Since his death, I have
heard from countless former students, colleagues, friends, family members and the
community about the difference Dad made.

We want to continue that legacy.
Even before Impact Tuesday, through
the CSM Foundations early efforts and
with support from CSMs closest supporters, more than $7 million toward the $10
million goal have been raised. All funds
raised in the ongoing campaign will go toward three initiatives designed to help the
college grow and maintain its affordable,
high-quality programs for the future. The
$10 million campaignwill provide fund-
Education
ingto: Inspire: Scholarships with a Purpose with a goal of $5 million; Influence:

Transformative Programs, Technology and
Facilities with a goal of $3 million; and
Innovate: CSM Entrepreneur, Innovation
and Partnerships with a goal of $2 million.
Each dollar contributed during the campaign will be used to assist CSM in its goal
to transform the future of Southern Maryland through higher education.

Crime
Conspirator Pleads
Guilty In Estate Theft
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
A Calvert County Circuit Court judge

sentenced a St. Leonard man to six years
in state prison for taking part in the theft
of hundreds of thousands of dollars from
an estate of a family he and a woman had
rented space from for a decade.
Milburn Jeffrey Brock, 48, originally
was sentenced to 15 years for perpetrating a
theft scheme between $10,000 to $100,000
and 25 years for obtaining property from a
vulnerable adult in the amount of $100,000.
Both sentences were reduced to six years
each and ordered to run concurrently, court
records show.
In all Brock, and his partner in the conspiracy, Janice Marie Tyler, stole about
$400,000 from the estate of Loren and Terrye Zaremba, according to the states argument in court.
Assistant States Attorney Michael Morgan said in court when taking Tylers plea
the week prior that police were alerted to
issues with the Zaremba estate from the attorney who oversaw it and from neighbors
who saw the Porsche sports car belonging
to the Zaremba estate being towed away

from the home.
Morgan told the court that Tyler and
Brock, both lived in the basement of the
Zaremba home as renters and later sold the
Porsche and pocketed the money.
Loren Zaremba died in 2012 while his
wife Terrye died last November.
Morgan said that Brock did some handyman work for the Zaremba family and that
Brock and Tyler had done some minor caretaking tasks for Terrye Zaremba after her
husband died for about 10 years.
Morgan said that while some of the
money taken from the estate was done so
with the consent of Terrye Zaremba, the
state contended that her condition led to
the states assertion that she was vulnerable
and did not consent to withdrawals of such
large amounts of money.
Some of this money was taken from the
estate after Terrye Zaremba had died.

Calvert Sheriffs Continue

Noose Investigation
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
After a fifth noose was found late last

week at the Cove Point construction site,
Calvert sheriffs investigators are still
searching for who is responsible even
though leaving such a symbol at the Kiewit
site is not strictly a crime.
Capt. Steve Jones said detectives also do
not have a motive for the acts.
The expansion of the Cove Point liquid
natural gas storage facility has been a highly controversial issue, with some community members actively protesting the massive construction project.
But Jones said that it did not seem likely
that protestors were involved.
Were not ruling it out, Jones said.
I dont have a reason for anyone leaving
them there, Jones continued. Its not like
theres a note with them.
The nooses are made with rope from the
jobsite, Jones said, and the site is festooned
with such rope.
They use hoisting knots to haul tools
up all day long, he said. But you can see
the difference between a hoisting knot and
a noose.
While a noose can be an ominous and
even threatening sign it is a symbol
from days of lynchings targeting African
Americans in this case police admit

that the incidents have not yet reached the
threshold of being a crime because no one
in particular at the job site has said they feel
threatened.
Its illegal if its threatening an individual, Jones said. But we dont have a
person who has come forward to say they
feel threatened.
We dont have a victim.
Construction workers at the site have
found the nooses, Jones said, but after being interviewed by investigators none have
said they wanted to file a complaint, Jones
said
The investigators working the case
there are three, one full time, two working
part time have a difficult time, Jones
said, because they have no clear motive for
someone leaving the traditional hangmans
knot.
I dont know what it means, Jones said.
So we want someone to come forward and
tell us if the nooses have no threatening
meaning.
The answer isnt to keep tying them.
Calvert Police Arrest Suspect

After Pursuit Crash
On December 12, 2016 at approximately
9:50 p.m. units from the Calvert County
Sheriffs Office Crime Suppression team
were patrolling in Prince Frederick, Calvert County, MD. Dfc. Trigg was parked in
the lot of the 7-11 located at 3675 Hallowing Point Road Prince Frederick, MD when
he observed a gold Buick bearing MD tag
A275898 approach and pass the stop sign
and white stop line without stopping while
leaving the store property. The Buick took
the intersection at a 45 degree angle to normal lane travel.
Dfc. Trigg got behind the Buick on MD
231 going east bound on Hallowing Point
Road (MD 231) in his marked patrol vehicle and activated his emergency lights and
siren.
Near MD 231 and Mason Road Dep.
Mohler advised via the police radio that
the speed was 65 mph. At Prince Frederick
BLVD. The Buick entered the left turn lane
for Prince Frederick BLVD but did not turn
and continued east. The Buick then drove
in the center portion of the road used for
making turns. The traffic signal at MD 231
and MD 2/4 was red for east bound traffic.
There were cars stopped at the intersection.
There were also cars approaching and driving through the intersection since north and
south bound traffic had a green light. The
Buick drove through the red signal without
stopping at approximately fifteen MPH.
The Buick was in the number three lane
which is intended to go straight across MD
2/4 only. The Buick made a left turn from
the wrong lane and continued north onto
MD 2/4.
The vehicle continued to travel north
along MD 2/4 at a high rate of speed showing wanton and willful disregard for the
safety of other motorists. Deputies planned
to deploy stop sticks in an attempt to flatten the tires on the Buick. As the Buick
approached DFC Foxs location just south
of the MD 2/4 split it hit the stop sticks.
Two of the Buicks tires were damaged,
however, the Buick continued driving and
attempts were made to perform the Precision Immobilization Technique (PIT) on
the vehicle but were unsuccessful as the
driver continuously swerved at emergency
vehicles that approached it.
Dep. Mohler was directly behind DFC
Denton and said as DFC Denton moved
beside the Buick it would swerve into DFC
Dentons lane. Dep. Mohler said this caused
DFC Denton to have to take evasive action
to avoid being struck and presumably seriously injured. Dep Mohler advised DFC
Denton had to brake heavily to avoid being
struck by the Buick.
Near Lord Baltimore Drive, DFC Miggliaccio joined the pursuit by getting a head of
the Buick as it approached his location. The
Buick attempted to navigate around DFC Miggliaccios marked patrol car
which also had its lights
and siren activated.
The Buick lost control,
veered to the left, crossed
over the median, and
south bound lanes before
leaving the roadway. The
Buick continued off the
roadway and crashed into
a cattle fence belonging to the owner of

7445 Briscoe Turn Road. The Buick overturned during the crash and subsequently
came to rest on its roof.
The driver opened the drivers side rear
door and bailed out of the vehicle. Deputies advised the control center the operator was running away from the wreckage
and described him as a black male wearing
a red shirt. DFC Denton gave Mr. Bishop
loud verbal commands to stop however he
fled on foot away from him. DFC Denton
advised after approximately 300 yards Mr.
Bishop ran into the woods and out of his
sight. DFC Denton stated he used his flash
light and saw Mr. Bishop hiding behind a
tree. DFC Denton said Mr. Bishop began to
run again ignoring commands to stop. DFC
Denton advised the suspect fell over brush;
DFC Denton and DFC Migliaccio caught
up to the suspect and attempted to take control of him to put him in handcuffs. DFC
Denton advised the suspect pulled away,
tensed up, and resisted arrest. DFC Denton
advised the suspect eventually said, I give
up. DFC Denton advised he and DFC Migliaccio were able to handcuff the suspect.
DFC Wells advised the suspect was apprehended at 1911 Appaloosa Way. Dfc.
Trigg took custody of the suspect and
identified him as Kanard J. Bishop (19) of
Goddard Court in St. Marys County. The
suspect was taken to Ambulance 59 for
treatment. Mr. Bishop was wearing a black
and red jacket, black shirt, blue jeans, and
white socks that were covered in mud and
cow manure.
Through investigation it was determined
that Bishop had no drivers license. Bishop was transferred to a trauma center via
Trooper 2. Once at the trauma center Bishop was evaluated and released. The Calvert
County Sheriffs Office made contact with
the owner of the Buick who advised they
were at the St. Marys County Sheriffs Office filing a report for the Buick being stolen. Bishop had allegedly taken the keys to
the vehicle out of a coat pocket of the owner
at Urban BBQ at approximately 9:00p.m.
St. Marys County Sheriffs Office deputies
applied for charges against Bishop for stealing the car.
Bishop was transported to the CCDC for
processing. Bishop was charged with 1st
degree assault on DFC Denton for striking
or causing him to crash. Mr. Bishop was
charged with 2nd degree assault and resisting arrest for fighting with DFC Denton and
DFC Migliaccio while trying to take him
into custody.
Mr. Bishop was issued citations
0R60L0H-0s50l0H for fleeing and eluding
and multiple other traffic offenses.

On December 5, 2016, Deputy B. Robinson responded to Sark Court, in Prince
Frederick, for the report of a burglary. The
victim reports that they left their residence
at 5:30pm and returned home at 8:00pm
to find a lock on their front door had been
tampered with. While checking their home
they noticed several dresser drawers had
been opened and multiple personal items
were removed and scattered around the
bedroom. In addition, a jewelry box had
been gone through and multiple pieces of
jewelry and money were taken. A basement window was discovered open, which
is where the suspect entered. At this time
this case remains open to further the
investigation.

On December 10, 2016, Deputy T. Holt
responded to Crazy Horse Trail, in Lusby,
for the report of damage to vehicles. The

This case will be suspended pending further information.
On December 9, 2016, at approximately
7:20pm, Deputy A. Curtin was called to

10lbs and shattered the windshield. Several smaller rocks were also thrown causing
several scratches to the hood, trunk and the
doors. The victim had been home at the
time but did not hear the incident occur.
On December 6, 2016, Deputy R. Spalding was dispatched to Augustus Drive, in
Prince Frederick, for the report of damage
to two (2) vehicles. The victim advised that
her car had been parked at her home since
December 3rd until she drove it a short distance the morning of the 6th. She could tell
something was wrong because of the way
it was handling. When she returned home
later that day, she noticed a white substance
around the gas tank and could tell something had been put in the tank. She advised
she then checked the gas gauge, which indicated there was more gas in the tank than
when she parked the car the previous night.
A second vehicle, also parked at the home
and driven on December 6th, was discovered to have had the brake line cut. There
is no suspect information at this time.
On December 5, 2016, Deputy B. Pounsberry was called to Summer City Boulevard, in Chesapeake Beach, for the report

10:20am, they observed their fence damaged and tire marks surrounding the area.
Theft Case #16-69785:

On December 9, 2016, Deputy G. Gott
was dispatched to Chesapeake Lighthouse
Drive, in North Beach, for the report of a
theft. The complainant advised someone
had removed the screws holding a MD registration plate and stole it. They were not
certain it was stolen while parked at their
home or while parked at a Park n Ride outside of the County. The plate was last seen
at approximately 8:00pm on the 8th and discovered missing at approximately 4:00pm
on the 9th.
On December 8, 2016, Deputy R. Evans
was dispatched to the home of a victim who
had been involved in a vehicle accident earlier in the day at the intersection of Mill
Bridge/Coster Road, in Lusby. The victim
explained that she was assisted by three (3)
black males who tried to help her in case
she was in need of medical attention. She
informed Deputy Evans she had recovered her phone and jacket from the good
Samaritans before the ambulance arrived
but did not get her purse back. Her black
coach purse, black wallet and money were
missing.
On December 7, 2016, Deputy N. Buckler responded to Terrace Drive, in Prince
Frederick, for the report of a theft from vehicle. The complainant explained that his
truck was last seen intact on December 6th,
at approximately 9:20pm; when he went
to remove his hunting shotguns around
5:00pm that next day, he noticed a passenger door window had been smashed out.
He entered his truck and discovered two
(2) Mossberg 500 12 gauge shotguns, two
ammunition cans, a SOG camo backpack,
Steiner binoculars, Bushnell rangefinder &
various other hunting gear were all missing. A neighbor reported finding a large
dark object lying in the grass next to their
driveway, which turned out to be one of the
missing guns and a case. Upon Deputy
Bucklers investigation, he found the second missing gun case in the nearby woods.
The victim was able to confirm both guns
and gun cases belonged to him. Two (2)
ammunition cases were also found nearby
but the camouflage backpack is still unaccounted for.
On December 7, 2016, Deputy R. Evans
responded to the Sheriffs Office to speak
with a victim wanting to report a theft that
took place at the Dunn Clean Laundromat.
The victim stated on December 2nd, at approximately 10:15am, they had left several
articles of clothing in the washing machine
and stepped out to walk to a nearby Restaurant while waiting . Upon returning to the
Laundromat she noticed the clothes were
missing. She assumed someone had inadvertently taken her clothes instead of their
own, so she left a note on the washing machine to contact her once they discovered
the error. She has not been contacted at this
time. This case remains open for further
investigation.
On December 7, 2016, Deputy A. Woodford responded to Cassell Boulevard, in
Prince Frederick, for the report of a vehicle
tampering. The victim explained they were

woken by the sound of their dog barking
around 4:20am. When they entered their
vehicle later that morning, they discovered
a passenger window had been shattered by
a large object. The hole was large enough
for someone to stick their arm through,
which is how a small book was stolen from
the back seat. The book was kept in a pink
leather case and could have been mistaken
for a wallet. Upon Deputy Woodfords
neighborhood canvas, he was able to locate
the pink case laying in the medium near the
victims driveway. The book was returned
to the victim. This case is suspended pending further information.
On December 5, 2016, Deputy R. Kreps
was dispatched to the Prince Frederick
Walmart for the report of a shoplifting. Mr.
Jones, one of Walmarts Asset Protection
Officers, advised he observed a white female place items inside her purse, proceed
to the self-checkout paying for other items
and then attempt to leave the store. The
female, Kristina McHenry, 27, of Lusby,
admitted to stealing the items (childrens
socks, several shirts and a cap). McHenry

CSM Names New Mens

Lacrosse Coach
Stevenson Foote, former coach at St.
Marys Ryken and Patuxent High School,
has been named the new head coach for
mens lacrosse at the College of Southern
Maryland.
We are very pleased to have Coach
Foote join CSM Athletics as the head coach
of our mens lacrosse team, said Michelle
Ruble, executive director of student life and
athletics. His coaching experience and
his knowledge of Southern Maryland will
serve him well in this position. And those
attributes, combined with his passion to
teach, make him a great fit here at CSM.
Foote began his coaching career at his
high school alma mater, Calvert High
School, in 2008. He spent one year as an
assistant coach for the boys lacrosse team
before taking the head coaching position
in 2009. During his time at Calvert High
School, Foote helped the boys lacrosse
team win its first playoff game and win
its first home playoff game, and he led the
team to its first winning season since 2003.
After leaving Calvert, Foote became the
head coach at St. Marys Ryken for the junior varsity team and assisted John Sothoron and Chris Perkinson with the varsity
program. During that time, Foote helped to
develop players for the varsity level in the
highly competitive Washington Catholic
Athletic Conference.
Following his time at St. Marys Ryken,
Coach Foote took over the program at
Patuxent High School before being named
the head mens coach at CSM.
Foote is the co-founder of Chesapeake
Rage Lacrosse and has helped more than 50
players achieve their goal of playing college
lacrosse at the NCAA Division I, II and III

levels.
I would like to thank the college for
giving me the great opportunity to lead the
mens lacrosse program at the College of
Southern Maryland, Foote said. My hope
is to continue the work done by Coach [Justin] Ryan, help with the continued growth
of lacrosse in Southern Maryland, and help
the young men who come through our program develop into great lacrosse players
and better people.
Ryan, the previous head lacrosse coach
at CSM, applauded Footes selection. I
believe he is uniquely suited to continue
to build upon the foundation of the mens
lacrosse program for the College of Southern Maryland, Ryan said. Coach Foote
will hold his players to high standards and
strive to be a highly competitive mens lacrosse team at the NJCAA level. There is a
lot of lacrosse talent in Southern Maryland
and I look forward to continuing to see it
highlighted through the mens lacrosse
program at CSM. I wish Coach Foote, and
all of the players, a successful season and
I look forwarding to seeing what they will
accomplish.
Foote and his wife, Jennifer, reside in
Virginia with their two young children, Roman and Emersyn.
The first mens lacrosse game for the
2017 season is scheduled for Feb. 25 at
Delaware Technical Community College.

CSM, see http://athletics.csmd.edu/sports/

Mike, Kenny and the Duke

Duke Radbourne, mythical oracle of
dude-knowledge and occasional character in this column, veered into my pattern
last week. It was a fitting meeting, as it
turned out, because we had both spent the
week trolling the MLB winter meetings
at National Harbor and doing regular heat
checks on baseballs annual hot stove, figuratively anyway (like all things with Duke).
We never actually set foot on Harbor
grounds or had a single conversation with
a baseball executive. In fact, the external
optic indicated another conventional week
tending our fabulously normal and pulseflattening routines. But mentally we were
on the Maryland side of the Woodrow Wilson Bridge pondering how the balance of
power for the 2017 MLB season could pivot
at any second.
Specifically, Nationals General Manager
and trade savant Mike Rizzo was on stage.
After the Nats lost again in the first round
of the playoffs, and with a farm system
stuffed with prospects, Rizzo was expected
to make big splashes and exit the meetings
with a World Series favorite.
Dreamers, we admittedly were, but since
sports curses are dying the Cavaliers
ended Clevelands suffering and the Chicago Cubs overcame billy goats and Steve
Bartman to win the World Series why
shouldnt D.C. and its 24-years-and-counting-without-a-professional-title be
the next exorcism?
And given Bryce
Harpers pending
2018 free agency,
the Nats time is
now, as John Cena
might surmise.
Rizzo
immediately fed the
fervor. The Nats
were rumored to
be after former
NL MVP Andrew
McCutchen
and
were major players in the sweepstakes for Chicago White Sox
lefthander Chris
Sale, a five-time
All-Star. Acquiring either would
be great. Nabbing
both would set off
World Series mania - and the Nats
had the young talent to do it.
But
McCutchen remains in Pittsburgh; the
Nats pursuit has gone cold. Sale was dealt
to Boston for a package of prospects that
the Nats didnt match. After Rizzo went
0-2 on his primary targets (0-3 counting
free agent closer Mark Melancons signing with the Giants), Duke and I no longer
wanted to be at the winter meetings, we
wanted to be seated at bar stools on either
side of Nats GM, all of us at least three
pints deep into the truth serum.
Rizzo eventually cut a deal, but it
wreaked of a panicked executive with an
itchy trigger finger. After methodically
building an elite farm system and nurturing
young pitching prospects, Rizzo flipped
three hurlers Lucas Giolito, Reynaldo
Lopez and Dane Dunning to the White
Sox for Adam Eaton, a zero-time All-Star.
If Kenny Rogers, the bearded crooner, was
asked his opinion, hed declare that Rizzo
played the hand like he was out of aces.
Remember The Gambler?!?!
In college, Duke once asked me to name
my dream job. Working in the front office of a professional sports team, was my
reply. Whatyou think youre the next
Roland Hemond (then Orioles General
Manager)?, he asked. Being a Towson
student, I dismissed Hemond and named
fellow Towson alum and long-time MLB
executive (and recent addition to the Hall
of Fame) John Schuerholtz as my professional hero. Regardless, I flew with eagles
in my youth.
The sports executive career never materialized, a favorable scenario for my sanity.
Its hard to fathom Rizzos week at National
Harbor: the options, the variables and, ultimately, the excruciating, franchise-altering
decisions that the GM owns alone. For
every get theres a painful forfeiture; the
hope, counter to the holiday season, is that
you receive more than you give.
Thats a much drama as I can muster. I
imagined more when I began typing but
then dozen of people were killed in Istanbul and rumors of Russian cyberattacks
broke real world invasions and reminders
of baseballs comparatively inconsequential recreational roots. Rizzos decisions
are tougher than picking a dinner option,
but in the end, hes the puppet master of a
game, a reality Im certain he embraces. In
fact, had Duke and I had that moment with
him at the bar, the bet is Rizzo would consider himself lucky for the spoils of making
of living in that manner, even after netting
Adam Eaton for a ransom of talent.

And the museum shops, in addition to aiding with that holiday shopping list, help
sustain the programs of those museums. .
The following is a guide to the museum
shops of Calvert and St. Marys County.
Take your own personal tour. Youll be surprised what you find.
Calvert Marine Museum
The Chesapeake Bay

is the man theme
of the gift shop
at Calvert Marine Museum.
When asked
what the favorite thigs
were
this
time of year,
store
manager for the last
23 years Maureen
Baughman
thought
for a moment and said it was hard to pick
one thing. Of course for the kids she said
theres books, activities and electronics.
For instance, this reporter picked out for
an eight-year-old cousin a Shark Excavation Adventure Kit. This unique gift allows
the child to become a junior Paleontologist, which is quite in
keeping with part
of the museums
mission.
For adults,
the gift shop
has
many
Bay-themed
items
for
cooks, such
as
dishes,
glassware, cookware and aprons.
Baughman also points
out the large Chesapeake-themed jewelry
selection.
There is a large book selection for adults
as well. If its about the Chesapeake Bay,
they have it.
Calvert Marine Museum is at 14206 Solomons Island Road, Solomons, MD 20688.
The gift shop is right inside the front door
to the left
The museum shop is open daily
for holiday shopping from10 a.m.
to 4:45 p.m. except on Christmas Eve when they close at 2
p.m. You can visit the museum
stores website at https://calvertmarinemuseumstore.miiduu.com/

Annemarie Sculpture
Garden and Arts Center
The first thing you notice when you enter the Arts Center at Annemarie Garden is
the Christmas Tree Display. The gift shop
located in the Arts Center is themed for the
holiday season and those Christmas trees
are a big part of what they have to offer.
Those trees are emblazoned with ornaments, most locally handcrafted, and all
available for sale.
Unique is indeed the story at this gift
shop and art of course in the main story
line. Local artists such as Mary Lou Troutman, Jean Hammett and Scott Geib have
their wares for sale on consignment at the
shop. There also is a large
collection of locally
made jewelry for
sale.
Also for sale
are scarves,
handbags,
home
accents, pottery
and
glass works,
and a good selection of garden
art, cards, books,
childrens games and
gifts, wine accessories and
gifts for men.
If you have a budding artist in the family,
the Buddha Board may be just the perfect
gift. The board comes in two sizes and allows the artist to paint something and then
see it disappear in ten minutes only to start
all over again. Practice makes perfect.
From now through Dec. 23 the shop
is open noon to 9 p.m. except Saturday when its open 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Come late and enjoy the very popular
Annemarie Garden in Lights (6-9
p.m..) and then check out the gift
shop.
Anne Marie Garden is located at
13480 Dowell Road, Solomons, MD
20629. Call 410-326-4640. The gift
shops website is http://www.annmariegarden.org/annmarie2/node/96
books, unique jewelry and so much more.

St. Clements Island

Potomac River Museum
Marylands history began in March of

1634 when the ships The Ark and The
Dove landed at an island in the Potomac
River after a harsh voyage from England.
That island, now called St. Clements, is the
backdrop for the county-owned museum
of the same name.
This is a great time to visit the
museum because of their annual
doll and train exhibit. Its also a
great time to shop at the little
museum shop tucked in the
back. There you will find many
items related to Maryland history and life on the Potomac
River.
One of the most unusual gift
ideas this reporter found on his tour
of the gift shops is the crab pot Christmas tree (also available at the Piney Point
Lighthouse gift shop). The trees come in
several sizes from 18 inches to four feet.
The museum also is filled with such
items as sea glass jewelry, books on the local history and culture and cookbooks to
prepare the crabs you catch in that crab pot.
Jayne Walsh is the museum shop manager. The shop is open noon to 4 p.m. through
Dec. 22 and then 10 a.m. to
4 p.m. Dec. 23=24. For
more information call
301769-2222.
The
museum
is located at the
end of Rote 242 in

Bayside History Museum Historic St. Marys CityBayside History Museum in North Beach
focuses on the colorful history of the communities along the Chesapeake Bay - from
a 19th century resort for Washington, DC
residents (with a railway to get them there)
to the slot machine era of the
40s through the 60s to
the major resort that it
is today.
According to curator Grace Mary
Brady, The unusual

The Shop at Fathrings Ordinary

Maryland settlers headed back down the
Potomac a short distance and settled in
what was to become Marylands first capital St. Marys City. Farthings Ordinary
at Historic St. Marys City is the recreated inn at the colonial town that has been
uniquely repurposed as a gift
shop. According to Shop

Christmas has taken over
for now. And she said
some of the Christmas
items are the shops biggest sellers, including snowmen (stuffed, on ornaments and
the unique Melting Snowman).

shop has a large selection. Sokolowski
mentioned the Ghost Walls by Sally

The museum just outside the bases Gate

1 is in a new facility this year and the museum shup is larger with a wider selection.
Of course, airplanes are the main theme of
the gift shop, according to manager Brandy
Blake. On a tour of the shop she pointed
out that gifts for children are a popular
item, with snap together kits and other
models of just about every imaginable historic airplane.
For older children (middle school and
above) the shop has the challenging and
very unique Metal Earth model airplanes,
including the Starship Enterprise.
Over in the adult area, a whole wall is
covered with antique metal signs from
airplane manufacturers, airplanes and
more generic patriotic renderings.
The signs range in price from $16.95
to $90.
Perhaps the biggest display in the
shop is the clothing section, with the
typical gift shop t-shirt and sweat shirts
with the museum and Navy logos, and
yes, the other services as well, since Blake
points out that the other services are represented on base. The clothing section also
has hats, skull caps
and a flight suit
for the kids.
The
museum
a l s o
has art
prints,
mu g s
a n d
jewelry,

REALTORS Deliver a
Lot of Holiday Cheer
By Dick Myers
Staff Writer
Several non-profit organizations and

many senior citizens in Southern Maryland
have been the recipient of some holiday
cheer from the Southern Maryland Association of REALTORS (SMAR). The
organization based in Hughesville recently
applied for the annual C.A.R.E. (Community Action and REALTOR Excellence)
Award sponsored by the Maryland Association of REALTORS (MAR). The
award to MAR members recognizes their
community involvement.
This year for the ninth time, SMAR was
an award recipient. They won for anactivity planned since 2008 by SMARs Community Relations & CARE Award Committee Secret Santa for Seniors. According to a SMAR press release, There is a
segment of our community that needs assistance to brighten their holidays. Many
residents in our regional assisted living and
senior centers do not have family or regular
visitors throughout the year and receive no
gifts or special attention at Christmas time.
A massive Secret Santa campaign is organized each year,created to provide holiday
gifts to those less fortunate living in our tricounty area.
As the result of garnering the first-place

C/A.R.E. Award this year, SMAR received
$9,000 to distribute as they wished to nonprofit organizations in Southern Maryland.
A committee chaired by Theresa Leonard
of Leonard Realty in California selected:
Charlotte Hall Veterans Home; Meals on
Wheels for Calvert, Charles & St. Marys;
Fortitude Housing of Southern MD; animal
rescue organizations in Calvert, Charles &
St. Marys; Pajama Connection; and Project
Linus.
Leonard presented a check to one of those
animal rescue groups, Second Hope Rescue, on Dec. 9 at the Leonard Realty office
with Mitch, her and husband Rons elderly
dog looking on with not much interest. The
check was appreciatively accepted by Lora
Digulimio representing Second Hope Rescue, which is active in the tri-county area
rescuing dogs and cats, with an emphasis
on harder to place homeless pets.
The other animal rescue groups receiving
checks from SMAR were Calvert Animal
Welfare League and Last Chance Rescue.

The Lonesome River Band
The Lonesome River Band

Makes First Ever Appearance in SOMD
What a way to start off the New Year
but with the Bluegrass sounds of the award
winning Lonesome River Band. They will
headline the 3rd concert in the American
Legion Bluegrass series along with Fall
Line Bluegrass Band. The concert will be
on Sunday January 15, 2017 at the American Legion Post 238 on the corner of MD
Rt. 381 & MD RT. 231 in Hughesville, MD.
As seen on the Late Show with David
Letterman and Steve Martin, The Lonesome River Band (LRB) continues their
reputation as one of the most respected
names in bluegrass music. Led by fivetime International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) Banjo Player of the Year
and Virginia Country Music Hall of Famer Sammy Shelor, the group holds a powerhouse line up of award-winning players
including vocalist and songwriter Brandon
Rickman on guitar, Mike Hartgrove on fiddle, Barry Reed on bass and Randy Jones
on mandolin and vocals.
The band is celebrating their Billboard
Top 10 Bluegrass Album, Turn on a
Dime released on Mountain Home Music
Company. The album certainly showcases
LRB at the top of their creative game. This
long awaited project includes numerous
chart songs including the hit Her Love
Wont Turn On A Dime that reached the
#1 spot seven times on the Bluegrass Today
Top 20.
With over 30 years, the LRBs enduring

awards from IBMA and SPBGMA including Album of the Year, Instrumental
Recorded Event of the Year, including
being named Bluegrass Band of Year,
Vocal Group of the Year, Song of the

Annual Steve Martin Prize for Excellence
in Banjo and Bluegrass. In honor of this
award, the Lonesome River Band with special guest Steve Martin made an appearance and performed on the Late Show with
David Letterman on November 11, 2011.
During the years with LRB, Shelor has
enjoyed performing with many stellar mu-
sicians, each of whom had moved on to

pursue other musical endeavors. With each
personnel change, Shelor looked for new
musicians who could not only fill a spot
that had been left vacant, but also bring in
an artist with talents of their own.
They have also been part of other various
artists projects on Rural Rhythm Records
including: A Bill Monroe 100th Year Celebration Live at Bean Blossom (2011)
which was produced by Shelor; IBMA
Recorded Event of the Year winning album
Life Goes On (2012) by the Musicians
Against Childhood Cancer benefiting St.
Jude Childrens Hospital in Memphis, TN;
and God Didnt Choose Sides: Civil War
True Stories About Real People (2013) that
made its debut at #6 on Billboard Bluegrass
Album Chart;
In 2012, LRB celebrated their 30th Anniversary with three album releases, Chronology Volumes One Three. With this
newest version of LRB, you can be assured
their prominence as one of the most influential acts in bluegrass music is here to
stay. In their 30 year career, the Lonesome
River Band has been one of the most popular bluegrass groups and continues to set
the standard in the bluegrass music world.
Whether performing on the famous stage
of the Grand Ole Opry or headlining major
concert events & festivals, their loyal fans
continue to support one of the most loved
and most influential acts of our time.
