Commissioners, Public At Odds


Over Lusby, Phipps Suspensions
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
After nearly six hours of an administrative public hearing over charges that
Maurice Lusby and Michael Phipps acted
improperly as chair and vice chair of the
Calvert County Planning Commission the
Board of County Commissioners adjourned
to consider testimony from both defendants
and a crowd of citizens who strongly supported both men.
Virtually all testimony from citizens not
only supported the character of Lusby and
Phipps, both long serving members of the
planning commission, but castigated the
attempted removal of them by the county
commissioners as heavy handed and unfair.
The commissioners adjourned to consider a verdict on the suspension, expecting

to make an announcement in several days.


Lusby and Phipps were suspended by
three of the five county commissioners
back in November over charges ranging
from mishandling the commissions legal budget, violating the open meetings
law and denying due process to a zoning
textamendment.
Both Lusby and Phipps have filed a lawsuit in Circuit Court to have their suspensions reversed.
Susie Hance-Wells, testifying for the
county farm bureau, said the issue was
about the county trying to remove people
who disagreed with them.
She said both Lusby and Phipps had always acted properly.

Local News

You looked for ways to remove that difference, Hance-Wells said of the commissioners actions.
Michael King said that the county commissioners who voted to suspend Lusby
and Phipps Commissioners Evan
Slaughenhoupt, Tom Hejl and Mike Hart
should resign or be impeached.
I know him [Lusby] to be honest and
truthful, King said. Your actions go
against the will of the people.
Richard Romer said that the county
government had no business trying the
men over a state open meetings law in a
localvenue.
The charges are invented and illegal,
Romer said. Its a local, illegal interpretation of state law.
County Attorney John Norris, who
pressed charges against both men, alleged
that Lusby was responsible for continuing
to spend money on independent counsel in
spite of direction from the county to use
his services after questions arose over th
costs.
Lusby testified, however, that their attorney John Yacovelle, who earlier this year
feel ill and died, told them to seek outside
counsel in spite of the countys directive.
Lusby also testified that he had engaged

in a phone call with all the planning commission members to discuss seeking outside counsel, which they all agreed to.
Lusby argued that since the planning
commission and county government were
often at odds on zoning issues that it would
be a conflict for the county attorney to
properly represent both bodies.
Lusby denied doing anything wrong.
I dont believe I misspent any public
funds, Lusby said.
He later testified that when a lawyer the
commission had retained told them they
needed to closely follow the states open
meetings law, which they apparently had
not been doing, that he changed the way
the commission held its meetings.
Lusby also testified that the commission under his leadership deferred a text
amendment involving drive through windows in the rural commercial zone, but did
not deny it as alleged, because the county
was in the middle of reviewing and revising its comprehensive plan.
I still dont believe Ive done anything
wrong, Lusby said, adding that many decisions he and the commission made were
on the advice of counsel.

The Calvert County Board of County


Commissioners (BOCC) has unanimously
agreed to add the rank of Major to Deputy
Sheriff pay scales. Sheriff Mike Evans assured the commissioners he had no intention to appointing anyone to the rank for
the foreseeable future. He said the earliest
might be Fiscal Year (FY) 2019.
The position of Major would be directly
under the Assistant Sheriff, who would be
a Lieutenant Colonel. The current assistant
sheriff holds the rank of major.
The decision to add the rank was made
during a presentation by the sheriff of his
departments Strategic Management Plan
for 2017-2020. The plan does ask for three
additional deputies for the Drug Enforcement Unit. The briefing to the commissioners said, By adding three additional drug
detectives, the unit will be able to increase
its capacity to investigate higher level drug
distributors, with the ability to continue investigations of lower level drug complaints,
especially those directly affecting the quality of life of our citizens.
The report to the commissioners showed
the number of fatal heroin/drug overdoses on the rise, from 10 in 2014, to 14 last
year and 16 so far this year. Evans said it
just wasnt a Calvert County problem. Its
an epidemic across the continental United
States, he explained.
Evans blamed the prescription drug problem on physicians over prescribing. We
will get a handle on this problem, he assured the commissioners.
In addition to the staffing issues, Evans
detailed the agencys goals for the coining
years. They are:

Prevent, reduce, and disrupt crime


and terrorism
Reduce heroin/opioid use and distribution and the negative social impact the drug use has on the lives of
citizens within the community
Improve traffic safety through education and enforcement
Establish, maintain and enhance
community partnerships
Utilize technology to fight crime
and to improve overall efficiency
Effectively administer the mandated duties of the sheriff to serve
process and provide security for the
Circuit Court
Recruit, train, and retain excellent
employees
Effectively and safely manage our
Detention Center population.
The commissioners were told the agency
had lost several employees in the past month
to positions with higher pay elsewhere.
Although the report shows an increase
in the heroin/drug problem, other Part 1
crimes, such as burglary and theft, are on
the decline.
Joining Evans at the table were Assistant
Sheriff Maj. Dave McDowell and Commander of the Criminal Investigation Bureau Capt. Bobby Junes, who is retiring at
the end of the month. Jones will be moving
to New Bern, NC to take a position with
their police department.

Calvert sheriffs office investigators


say that a St. Marys County man was involved in the collision with the agency vehicle driven by Sheriff Mike Evans Dec. 16
while traveling in the area of Huntingtown.
Court records show, however, that Jack
Rowland Abbott, Jr., of Valley Lee has yet
to be charged in the incident, which occurred as Evans was traveling northbound
on Route 261
near
Pond
Woods Road.
As Evans
a p p r o a che d
the intersection he saw
an oncoming
Toyota truck

traveling east on Ponds Wood Road that


appeared would not stop at the stop sign.
Sheriff Evans braked and turned right
in an attempt to minimize the collision with
the Toyota truck, according to a sheriffs
office statement. The left front of Sheriff
Evans vehicle contacted the Toyota truck
in the passenger door.
According to police statements regarding the incident, Abbott told investigating
deputies that that he was not familiar with
the area and that he didnt know that he
had run a stop sign or that one was even
present.
Evans had four passengers with him at
the time of the crash, reports stated. They
were a military family that had won an auction at Beach Elementary School in Chesapeake Beach where Evans gave them a tour
of the sheriffs office and was returning
them home.
Though both vehicles were disabled as a
result of the crash and had to be towed, no
one was injured as a result of the crash, the
sheriffs office reported.

American Legion Post


Rolls Out Holiday Fun
for the Kids
By Dick Myers
Staff Writer

For more than a quarter of a century


American Legion Stallings-Williams Post
206 in Chesapeake Beach has been putting
smiles on the faces of children during the
holiday season. Each year the posts auxiliary holds a party right before Christmas
for the children of the community.
The party on Dec. 18 this year featured
three parts said event chairperson Penny
VanDyke food and a chance for children
to color posters to include in Operation
Shoebox to send to service members; entertainment from Arts N Motion of Odenton;
and a chance to visit with Santa Claus.
According to its website: Operation
Shoebox was founded in 2003 by military
mom Mary Harper. While five of her children, and two sons-in-law, were deployed
around the world, the central Florida mom
learned from her kids that troops didnt
receive many care packages or mail. She
rolled up her sleeves and started an informal
care package project out of her living room.
While troops receive the very basic

necessities like meals and shelter from the


U.S. military, Harper realized the need
to boost morale with practical tokens of
kindness in the form of snacks, personal
care items, entertainment and thank-you
notes to men and women stationed around
theworld.
Her homegrown project grew into
a full-fledged nonprofit organization so
quickly that after just a few years of operation, Harper was honored at the White
House for her work on behalf of the men
and women of the armed forces.
Members of the auxiliary lined up to
serve the free food for the kids to take back
to their tables to enjoy while coloring. The
artwork drawn by the
kids at the American Legion party adds a homey
touch to the shoebox
contents.
One of the members
of Arts N Motion belongs to the American
Legion
Stalling-Williams Post 206, and they
went all out with a very
professional Christmasthemed show. The kids
had a ringside seat on the
floor right up front. The

show featured a surprise visit from Rudolf


the Red-Nosed Reindeer, who mingled in
the crowdafterward.
During the show, Santa arrived and took
his rightful place on the stage to be visited
by the kids after the show.
According to the post website: StallingsWilliams Post #206 was granted a temporary charter by the National Headquarters
of the American Legion on September 25,
1946, with 47 names on the roster. We
have been serving the veterans community
ever since. Our membership is currently
near 800. We have a very active American
Legion Auxiliary (Department 206) and a
great Sons of the American Legion (Squad-

Local News

ron 206). The Legion, Auxiliary, and the


SAL combine to make a strong membership group and a very active post.
The name Stallings-Williams was
chosen from two servicemen of the area,
who gave their lives in the service of their
country. During World War II, James
Franklin Stallings, born July 5, 1923, son
of Morris E. and Molly Ward Stallings, was
lost in action over Holland on September
22, 1944 while serving in the 82nd paratrooper Division. Jesse Whittier Williams,
born May 25, 1917 at Chesapeake Beach,
Maryland. Son of William S. and Anna M.
Williams, was lost in defense of his country
on August 17, 1944 in France.

Is Another PetSmart
Coming to the Area?
By Dick Myers
Staff Writer

Plans are proceeding for the reuse of


the former Kmart store in the Laurel Glen
Shopping Center on Route 235 in California. A Hobby Lobby store has been
announced for a portion of the building.
The St. Marys County Technical Evaluation Committee (TEC) was told Dec. 16
that the rest of the building would become
aPetSmart.
The building is being redeveloped by the
Pelican Group of Mobile, AL. The companys President Tony Brown could not confirm the second tenant. He said the property is under contact but the details have
not been finalized. He said he thought the
holidays were interfering with the completion of the deal.
Brown said that Hobby Lobby will be
taking up 66 percent of the total 86,479
former Kmart space in the shopping center. He said the former
Kmart Garden Center
will be demolished for
parking. That area and
a loading dock were the
subject of the TEC meeting, which is an administrative procedure bringing together the various
agencies that have oversight. The TEC is administered by the St. Marys
County Department of
Land Use and Growth

Management. Engineer Joe Kadjeski of the


COA firm made the presentation for the
PelicanGroup.
Brown said the opening of Hobby Lobby
is targeted from mid-April of 2017.
There are two other PetSmarts in Southern Maryland Waldorf ad Dunkirk. As
of September 2016, PetSmart operated
approximately 1,477 stores and various
locations with PetSmarts PetsHotels, and
Doggie Day Camps. Certain locations also
share space with their corporate partner,
Banfield Pet Hospital.
Petco, the second largest pet retailer,
also has stores in California and Waldorf
along with Prince Frederick and La Plata
locations.

Volunteer Emergency
Service Challenges
By Dick Myers
Staff Writer

Is Calvert County destined for a paid


emergency services delivery system? Many
residents hope not. They cite the long tradition of volunteer service and the huge
amount of savings to the county taxpayers
with the volunteers.
The Calvert County Board of County
Commissioners (BOCC) received a briefing at their Dec. 20 meeting on the challenges faced by the existing volunteer system and some solutions to those challenges.
The briefing was from representatives of
the Calvert County Volunteer Fire and Rescue Association. Making the presentation
were associations President Bill Freeland,
chair of the associations Chiefs Council
Brian Ficke and chair of the associations
Presidents Council Patrick Hassler.

One person not in attendance was Katie


Hassler, president of the countys EMS Advisory Council. Commissioner President
Evan Slaughenhoupt, Jr read a letter from
Hassler stating, The delivery volunteer
system needs fixing now until the community builds a pad system. Slaughenhoupt
noted that Senate President Mike Miller
predicted a paid system in the countys
future.
Freeland reported that the volunteer system is challenged by logistics (the great
distances between north and south) and attracting more volunteers. He said the stated
gal of an eight-minute response time is
often unrealistic given the distances even
within department first-due areas.
In addition to volunteer participation and

retention, the report to the commissioners


listed other challenges such as increased
demand for Advanced Life Support, system
misuse and abuse, and increased education
and training requirements.
Regarding misuse and abuse, Freeland
said that about 30 percent of calls to 911 are
really emergencies. Calvert Memoria Hospital has developed a brochure on the subject called Make the Right Call. Several
of the commissioners were anxious to get
wide distribution of the brochure.
The presentation also had a multi-faceted
Plan of Action that includes formation of
an EMS committee, review of operations
in other jurisdictions, re-evaluation of previous recommendations, an evaluation of
EMS statistics, implementing a Community Awareness Plan, evaluation of use of
private ambulance services, and an evaluation of the cadet program.

An additional action recommended is


reviewing several methods of recovering
the cost of emergency services, including
patient billing through insurance. Under
that plan the patient would not see the bill, a
system known as soft billing.
Other funding options include a fire tax
or user fees. But Commissioner Mike Hart
said he more favored spending money to
hire a grant writer to go after other funding.
Several of the commissioners also liked
that idea.
The Fire and Rescue Association plans to
go back to the drawing board and come up
with more detailed recommendations, including implementation and cost plans. The
goal: To ensure timely emergency medical
care to the citizens of Calvert County.

Police: Driver In
$250,000 Reward
Fatal Crash Under Offered In Noose Case
Influence of Alcohol
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer

By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer

Calvert County sheriffs deputies say that


Lindsay Leanne Canter, the Lexington Park
woman who allegedly
caused a fatal crash in
Lusby Dec. 15, had an
alcohol content of .17
from a breathalyzer test,
or more than twice the
legal limit after her arrest for the incident.
Police also had Canter
taken to Calvert Memorial Hospital in the
immediate aftermath of the crash, which
killed Ronald Joseph Ball, for an emergency evaluation because she made suicidal
statements to detectives questioning her.
According to the latest reports from the
sheriffs agency, investigators believe that
Canter intentionally struck Balls vehicle.
The two vehicles had been racing north
on Route 4 prior to Canter deciding to
make contact with Balls vehicle, the sheriffs office reported in a statement. Based
upon the information learned during the
interviews with Canter she was charged
with driving under the influence (DUI),
homicide by motor vehicle while impaired
by alcohol, leaving the scene of a fatal motor vehicle crash and numerous other DUI
related charges.
Preliminary reports showed that when
the two vehicles entered the intersection
of Rousby Hall Road Canters Ford Mustang struck Balls Nissan 370 Z in the

Canter

rear, pushing it off the road and down an


embankment.
Canter fled the scene, police stated, and
was later arrested by deputies who found
her in the area of Town Center Boulevard
on Thunderbird Drive; charging documents filed in District Court detail several
tests designed to gauge Canters level of
intoxication, which deputies stated was
considerable.
In Calvert County traffic crashes have a
negative impact on more families annually
than any other single event law enforcement is involved with, said Sheriff Mike
Evans. I continue to ensure deputies are
conducting traffic enforcement to remove
impaired drivers from our roadways in an
effort to prevent tragedies such as this one
from occurring.
Canter is being held without bail at the
county detention center.

The North American Building Trades


Union, in cooperation with Kiewit and the
Calvert County Sheriffs Office, is now
offering a $250,000 reward for information that leads to the identification of those
responsible for placing nooses at the Dominion Cove Point expansion project site
in Lusby.
The announcement about the enhanced
reward was made by the sheriffs office.
There have been five nooses found at
the site over the past several weeks and the
sheriffs office is investigating the matter as if it were a crime, an agency release
stated, even though sheriffs officials have
said that the nooses being left at the site do
not necessarily constitute a crime.
No one at the construction site has come
forward to complain about the nooses,
police officials have said, and police have
been unable to show that the nooses constitute a threat aimed at any particular person.
Such are the requisites for the incidents
to be considered actual crimes, law officers
have said.
Due to the nature of these events in our
community we will investigate this as if it

were a crime, said Sheriff Mike Evans in


a prepared statement. We do not typically
see these types of things in our county and
as a community we will stop it.
Although no one has come forward to
file a complaint it is fair to say that this
act is offensive in nature to our entire
community.
Kiewit safety managers and Calvert
sheriffs have increased their presence at
the construction site, the agency reported,
to provide for more surveillance.
The trade union has also increased
meetings with union workers to ask their
assistance in helping to find out who is responsible for the nooses, the agencys press
release stated.
Capt. Steve Jones, spokesman for the
sheriffs office said the offer of a reward
has only slowly yielded any results.
We have gotten some tips, Jones said
Weve gotten some phone calls.
Its just been a few, not an abundance.

Bildman Named to CSM


Foundation Board
The College of Southern Maryland
Foundation has announced the addition of
Eileen Bildman to its board of directors.
She has been appointed to serve a five-year
term.
Bildman, of Hollywood, is the director
of development and marketing for Airtec
Inc., working on expansion projects at the
St. Marys County Regional Airport. At
Airtec, she also has served as the director of finance and employee relations. She
owns her own design company, Studio 2
Designs, working mostly with commercial
and larger residential custom homes.
Our community is fortunate for the diverse career opportunities available, and
the chance to increase ones knowledge
and advance in most positions, she said.
Having the College of Southern Maryland
so close is a true advantage to many single
parents and families that do not have the
means to send their child away to further
their education.
Bildman said one of her goals would be
to help advance the opportunities for students to go beyond an associates degree,
especially in the medical field. I feel there
are so many areas we can expand, and that
would be my goal, to assist in accessing avenues to further ones education, she said.
She is on the Calvert Marine Museum
Board of Governors as well as the museum
societys board. Members of the board of
governors are appointed by the Calvert
County commissioners, and they serve in
an advisory role to the museums senior
staff and to the county commissioners.
The members of the board of governors
also serve as the board of directors for the
Calvert Marine Museum Society. Bildman heads the museums main fundraising
event, the Bugeye Ball.
She served on the St. Marys Hospital
Foundation Board for seven years, helping
raise money for the hospitals educational
fund and co-chairing the boards fundraising gala for six years. She was involved in
instituting a Daisy Award program at the
hospital to honor outstanding nurses and
assisted in choosing student scholarship
recipients.
At the request of the St. Marys County
sheriff, Bildman became a member of the
St. Marys Sheriffs Advisory Board, assisting in helping raise awareness in the
community of activities for children at risk.
She worked with detectives on the Shop
with a Cop and summer camp programs.
During that time, she began a memorial for
victims of homicide in St. Marys County.
The annual memorial is held in the fall to
bring together families who have suffered
the loss of a loved one by the hand of another person. The Silent Angel Memorial
Foundation has been able to donate annu-

Plein Air Festival Benefits


CSM Scholarship Fund
While visiting artists from across the nation were busy capturing Southern Maryland scenes during this falls week-long
Solomons Plein Air Festival presented
by Avian, patrons were busy buying their
favorite scenes with proceeds benefiting
six community organizations, including
$3,000 presented to the College of Southern Maryland Foundation for the Dennis
Lake Smith Art Scholarship.
We are very proud of the growing success of our Solomons Plein Air Festival.
The art sales this year almost doubled,
which allowed us to contribute $3,000
each to six worthy nonprofits for a total of
$18,000, said Solomons Plein Air Festival
Chair Carmen Nance Gambrill. This was
only accomplished due to the hard-working committee who volunteered countless
hours to make this festival one of the premier plein air events in the country. The
committee was a combination of business
owners, residents, churches and other interested individuals, so it truly was a community effort.
In addition to CSM, five other charities
were chosen for support by the Solomons
Plein Air Festival committee HeartFELT,
Orphaned Wildlife Rescue Center, Patuxent Animal Welfare Society, the Solomons
Business Associations 4th of July fireworks
and Sophias Oasis for Equines.
The festival featured artists selected
from a national field of 100 artist applicants
who painted throughout Solomons during
the week-long festival presented by Avian.
The event also included a Sunset Quick
Draw along the Solomons Riverwalk
when artists had two hours to complete a
canvas, and Paint the Town for A Cause
for community members to join the artists
for a morning of painting.
This years competition was composed
of 33 juried artists chosen from some of the

best plein air artists in the world. Thanks


to our sponsors and supporters, we were
able to offer significant prize money which,
along with unsurpassed hospitality of the
town of Solomons, keeps the artists applying each year. In fact, we had one awardwinning artist say to the staff at Plein Air
Magazine, I dont care whether I am accepted or not. I am going to Solomons next
year!, Gambrill said.
This was my first year working the
Solomons Plein Air Fest and it was incredible, said CSM Foundation First Vice
Chair Nancy Hempstead. These talented
artists come from all over the country and
embrace the community and the spirit of
giving that is such a big part of the festival.
And the community embraces the artists
for a week of activities to raise funds that
truly make an impact to CSM and its students. Very rewarding indeed!
The Dennis Lake Smith Memorial Art
Scholarship was created by Carmen and
Matt Gambrill as a tribute to their friend,
Dennis Lake Smith who passed away
May 1, 2011. Smith is remembered as a
saxophone and harmonica player with the
Southern Maryland band Round Midnite
and was learning to play the accordion.
He flew with his Solomons friends to New
Orleans for JazzFest as a way to share his
passion for music. Although he was offered
a scholarship to the Julliard School of Music, Smith chose to study art at the Maryland Institute of Art and was the artist who
designed the first Cavalier billboard welcoming visitors to Calvert County. Smith
graduated from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University later in life, while working
full time. He was a software applications
engineer with Wyle Labs in California.

The Real

Meaning Of Christmas

By Dave Spigler Feature Writer


With Contributions from Father Mike Wilson
It is almost here! All the fuss and worries to prepare for this big day are almost
over! The collection of wish lists of
family wants and desires, the chaotic rush
to get in line for that big 6:00 AM store
opening to take advantage of great sales
prices, the locating of the tree decorations
and the careful placement of the ornaments
on it, the mounting of outdoor lights so
Santa will find his way, the planning and
preparation of the Holiday meal, the need
to find some quiet time to address all those
cards for out of town family and cherished
friends, the online ordering of that spe-

Photos byFrank Marquart

cial gift for that one special person in our


lives has hopefully been accomplished by
the time you are reading this! And what
a relief it is! But wait a minute! What is
missing in all this annual hub bub? Did we
forget to keep Christ in Christmas once
more? Did you forget the true reason for
the season?
This is a good time to just slow down for
a moment and remember the real purpose
why we go to all this trouble at this time
of the year. This weeks Calvert County
Times cover captures the true spirit of the
season. This wonderful depiction of the
Holy Family in the Live
Manger Scene was taken
during the recent Solomons
Christmas Walk held earlier this month on the front
lawn of Our Lady Star of the
Sea Church. The following
young Parishioners played
the various roles shown on
the cover; Austin Parks,
Joe Oster, Monty Parks,
Erin Parks, and Angels Addie McGaffin and Aubrey
McGaffin.
To provide additional insight and inspiration for this
special time, we reached
out to Monsignor Michael
Wilson, the beloved Pastor
of Our Lady Star of the Sea
for his thoughts concerning
what this Holiday is truly
about. The good Padre offers a message of joy and
love that should resonate
with Christians and others
everywhere. Take a moment

and reflect on Father Mikes inspirational


words to be enjoyed by us all:
Two thousand years ago, in a small out
of the way village, a young couple found
refuge in a stable where animals were
housed. During their stay, Jesus Christ
was born and the world changed. It doesnt
make any sense, as far as the world is concerned, but this child with such a poor
and obscure beginning, grew to deliver a
message that changed the lives of billions
of people and formed Cultures, inspired
works of Art, Architecture, Literature, and
Music, and led to countless acts of kindness
and love.
The real meaning of Christmas isnt
what we get from Santa, but who we are to
one another. We are all inspired to share,
care, give of ourselves, help one another,
sing, laugh, travel to visit loved ones and to
be more patient than we normally are. The
real meaning of Christmas is that we have
been inspired by the love of God, come to
us in the presence of his Son, Jesus Christ.
This gift of self and son, offered without
cost or demand, inspires us to share love,
not only with ones we know, but with people we will never meet.
The Christian Scriptures tell us the angels sang to the shepherds and proclaimed
Peace of Earth and Goodwill to All. That
proclamation, often betrayed and tarnished
by our selfishness and greed, has continued to inspire to humanity to try, again
and again, to live up to the example of God
becoming one of us, being born to travelers, working as a human being to make a
living and then proclaiming His message
of forgiveness, hope, healing, caring and
love. Ultimately, His message cost him his
life, but he offered it for all His children

Happy Holidays

and again inspired us to live lives of love


for one another.
The real meaning of Christmas is that
it is not just for Christians, although it is
so meaningful for us. It has inspired peoples of other cultures, religions, and backgrounds to adopt the spirit of Christmas.
All over the world, people are caught up
in this blessed season, perhaps a little too
focused on things and externals, but they
have recognized that something is different
at this time of the year and they want to be
a part of the difference. May we all share
in this difference. May what began so long
ago inspire us to seek out the true meaning
of Christmas, make it a part of our lives and
learn to celebrate it with others.
In the Christian Scriptures, we are told
by St. John that: God is Love. Christmas
is perhaps the most intimate time of interaction for most people with Love, with God.
Whether we are always conscious of the origin or the end of the reason for the season,
we are open to and ready to share this Love
that came that first Christmas Day and has
remained and spread ever since. May you
and all those whom you love come to know
the real meaning of Christmas and share it
with others in the hope that the promise of
Christs coming may find fulfillment in our
day.
Peace of Earth and Goodwill to All.
Father Mike
From all of us at the County Times, Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and a Happy, Healthy New Year to each and every
one of you throughout Southern Maryland.

Mary Helen Buckler


Mary Helen Buckler, 84, of Prince Frederick, Maryland died peacefully on November 30, 2016 at The Hermitage of Solomons. The daughter of the late John and
Catherine Fanning Riordan, she was born
in New York City on June 4, 1932.She attended the Saint Anslem School and graduated from Walton High School, an all girls
preparatory school in Bronx, NY.In the
early 1950s Helen moved to Washington
DC and began working in the accounting
department for the Marriott Company.On
a 1954 trip to rural Calvert County for the
wedding of one of her sisters, Helen met
her future husband, Milburn Alexander
Buckler. They were married on August 25,
1955 at St. John Vianney Catholic Church
in Prince Frederick. The couple resided in
Takoma Park for a few years before making their home at Dares Beach, where they
raised their family.Mrs. Buckler returned
to work in 1967. She was a member of the
staff at the Beach Elementary School in
Chesapeake Beach for 30 years, retiring
in 1997. Over the years at Beach, she received a great deal of recognition for her
timeless efforts and her many contributions to the school, the students and the
parents. In later years, she often spoke of
how fulfilling it was to be part of the school
community.In her retirement years, Helen
enjoyed her family and friends. She was especially close to her two grandchildren, for
whom she did so very much and loved so
dearly.Once retired, she liked to travel, enjoying a few cruises and often visiting her
sister in Colorado Springs. She made fre-

quent trips to her favorite Atlantic beaches


as well as to her beloved New York City.
All travel aside, however, it should be said,
to the amusement of her family and friends,
that Helen may very well have been the
last adult living in Calvert County who refused to drive a car--or even to learn how
to drive a car. The subject was simply not
up for discussion.She will be remembered
as a loving, disciplined, caring person with
a generous spirit and a warm sense of humor.Mrs. Buckler is survived by her children: Catherine Buckler, Alex Buckler, and
Jesse Buckler; her two grandchildren: Jesse
Alexander Buckle and his wife, Alison and
Natalie Faye Buckler and one great-granddaughter, Sophia Marie Helen Buckler. She

Artist In Action Coming


to Annemarie Garden
A few months each year, Annmaries
spectacular Main Galleryis transformed
from exhibition space into artist studios,
allowing visitors the opportunity to appreciate the artistic process as well as the
product.Annmarie seeks artists working
in any media to submit proposals to set up
a working studio space in the Main Gallery for 1-2 week periods.These studios
utilize the artists own supplies and equipment.Artists work in their studiosdemonstrating their processes and techniques to
curious visitors.
Artists are also afforded space to hang
artwork for sale within the gallery for the
duration of their studio time.It is our goal
to expose visitors to the working process
of artistsfrom concept to finished prod-

uct.As such, this show is ideal for artists


working on a large project or series.Artists must be willing to speak with visitors informally about their work and their
process.Overnightaccommodations for
out-of-town artists are available on a firstcome, first-serve basis.
Through this exhibition, which will be
held Jan. 20-Mar. 1, artists gain exposure,
sell artwork, and work in a free studio space
in a beautiful setting.This is a nice occasion for a serene retreat to immerse yourself in your artwork.Future group or solo
show opportunities may also be awarded.

Keeping Calvert Families Warm


Winter weather is upon us and for too
many families in Calvert County, winter
weather brings a slew of concerns a major
one, how are they going to heat their home?
For the 10th year, Chesapeake Churchs
Summit Men Ministry stepped up to be
a solution and meet this need for many
localfamilies.
On Saturday December 3rd, armed with
trucks, wood splitters and cutters, axes
and willing hands and spirit, more than
130 Summit Mens group members cut and
loaded 92 truck loads of wood and delivered it to 46 less fortunate families. Each
family received one cord of wood and for
many; this firewood will be their only
source of heat during the winter months.
As a church, taking care of those in
need in our community is what are called
to do, says Jeremy Robinson Community
Life Pastor at Chesapeake Church. Firewood for Families is an opportunity that
we get to practically meet the needs our
community and most importantly, its a
way that we get to be the literal hands and
feet of Jesus Christ in Southern Maryland.
The majority of the families who received the firewood utilize the churchs Chesapeake Cares Food
Pantry and others
came from referrals. The food pantry
serves nearly 900
families every week.
Im very thankful for the wood delivery, a Firewood
for Families recipient
said. I cannot thank
the church (Chesapeake) enough as I
use the food pantry,
the
twice-a-year
oil changes and the
wood delivery.

Its our chance as a biblical community to reach out to our community and
to show them all people matter, said Bob
Sickle, Summit Mens Leader. I cant
think of a better way to serve those with
the biggest need this time of the year as it is
gettingcolder.
For more information on volunteer opportunities or to learn about Chesapeake
Church, visit chesapeakechurch.org or call

They both love to be on their foster

where Jill is currently sleeping as I
