Bill Ties Energy tax
to Debt Authority
By Dick Myers
Staff Writer
The St. Marys County Legislative Del-
egation has agreed to increase the county
bonding authority by $26 million over the
next two years. But theres a bi catch.
According to Sen. Steve Waugh (R: Dis-
trict 29, St. Marys and Calvert), his Senate
Bill (SB) 713 requires the county to elimi-
nate its Energy Tax first. Waugh notes this
group of county commissioners has used
up $70 million in debt affordability in its
first two years of office. He said, If they
cant afford to eliminate a tax, they cant
afford a new bill. $100 million in debt is
enough for any Board of County Commis-
sioners (BOCC) in four years there will
not be another bond bill next year.
The delegation on Monday also intro-
duced SB 735 on accountability for the St.
Marys County Metropolitan Commission
(MetCom) According to Waugh, MetCom
made a number of puzzling decisions in
borrowing over the last few years and their
debt is guaranteed by the full faith and
credit of the county. The commissioners
review MetComs operating budget but
missed those mistakes for years. Com-
Gun Control Issues Dominate
Rey Town Hall Meeting
By Dick Myers
Staff Writer
Second-Amendment issues dominated a
town hall meeting Feb. 4 held by Del. Deb
Rey (R: District 29C) at the Ridge Volun-
teer Fire Department. A crowd of about
a hundred packed the room generally set
aside for fire trucks to talk to the legislator
in the first of several scheduled meetings
during the 2017 Maryland General Assem-
bly session.
Rey is a staunch supporter of the right
to bear arms, so she has introduced several
bills that will make it easier to citizens to do
that. But the topic which generated the most
discussion was whether guns should be al-
lowed on college campuses. The meeting
took place just several miles south of the St.
Marys College of Maryland campus. Rey
supports guns on campuses. The campus
police force is not armed and does not have
police powers.
Speakers throughout the town hall meet-
ing were not asked to identify themselves.
One woman said, Guns on campuses are
ridiculous and a campus is not a place for
guns. Another woman noted that college
age kids often are drinking and have mental
health issues, not the right mix for guns.
But on the side of having guns on cam-
puses, one speaker noted have far away

puses. The majority were against guns on
campuses but the pro side also got a fair
number of supporters raising their hands.
Several speakers during the far-ranging
discussion pointed out that guns dont kill
people and gun control does not keep guns
out of the hands of criminals. One speaker
said, If there wasnt a criminal element in
this country, we wouldnt need guns. Crim-
inals dont get permits.
But others noted our countrys high mur-
der rate when compared to countries with
stricter gun control laws.
Rey has introduced several bills on guns.
One would allow the issuance of a provi-
sional approval subject to approval by the
Maryland State Police so potential licens-
ees wouldnt lose their fee if denied.
Another bill would allow online
testing instead of at a range. Rey noted that
testing is usually with one gun which might
not be the one the person buys. She said a
responsible gun owner should receive train-
ing on whatever gun they buy. But several
speakers opposed that idea.
Rey sits on the Judiciary Committee,
chaired by long-time legislator Del. Joe
Vallario of Prince Georges County, who
Rey said she admires. She sits on the Ju-
venile and Criminal Law subcommittees.

Charles President
Defends Council
Pull-Back
By Dick Myers
Staff Writer
President of the Charles County Board
of County Commissioners (BOCC) Peter
Murphy has defended his boards decision
to reduce funding for the Tri-County Coun-
cil for Southern Maryland. In an exclusive
interview with the County Tines, Mur-
phy said his first duty is to the citizens of
Charles County and that will always trump
the Tri-County Council. That is my job; it
is what I was elected to do, he said
The Charles BOCC at its Jan 10 meet-
ing by a 4-1 vote cut $50,000 from a special
jobs program and reduced its annual ap-
propriation to the council from $85,000 to
$9,000, the legislated mandatory iminium
funding. The decision caused a firestorm at
the councils Jan. 26 meeting in Annapolis.
Charles County had been making a spe-
cial $50,000 appropriation for the last sev-
eral years for the jobs program run by the
Tri-County Council. But Charles County
had also been doing its own summer in-
tern program in county government which
Murphy said was very successful. He said
the decision was made to increase funding
for the county program instead of shipping
the monies off to the council.
The council jobs program had been a pet
project of former Commissioner Reuben
Collins, who was defeated by Murphy for
the presidency position in the 2014 election.
The reduction of the countys main ap-
propriation to the council could have the
greatest impact, since there are rumblings
from Calvert and St. Marys about dissat-
isfaction with the council and perhaps a
reduction in funding as well.
Murphy said of the Charles decision: It
is hard for me to believe that our $70,000
(reduction) could have any impact. The
council uses county and state monies to
leverage federal grants. The councils
yearly budget is more than $4 million. But,
Murphy did concede that if St. Marys and
Calvert puked back it might have a greater
impact on the councils operations.
Murphy was asked about programs, such
as workforce development, which benefit
Charles County citizens. He said represen-
tatives of the council met with his BOCC in
December and didnt talk at all about those
programs. He feels they didnt make a good
justification for benefits to Charles County
at that time.
Murphy applauds the decision of the
council to discuss its future. He noted
that what Charles wasnt defunding the
council as had been suggested at the coun-
cil Annapolis meeting. He said Charles is
still part of the council and is making its
required minimum payment to fund the
council.
At the Annapolis meeting State Senator
Thomas Mac: Middleton quoted unspeci-
fied Charles officials as saying they didnt
belong in Southern Maryland any more
but were more aligned to Prince Georges
County and the rest of the DC area. Mur-
phy believes it isnt an either/or situation
Charles can be aligned with both.

Lexington Park Woman Killed
in Waldorf Nightclub Shooting Suspect In St. Marys
Charles County Sher-
iffs detectives assigned to
the Criminal Investigations
Division have identified a
second suspect wanted in
connection with the murder
of Miaquita Gray, who was
shot and killed last week.
An arrest warrant has been
obtained for Charles Leon
Thompson, Jr., 33, of Wal-
dorf. The other suspect, An-
thony Dangelo Wilkins, 33,
who also has a warrant for Thompson
his arrest, has not been lo-
cated. Charles County Crime
Solvers is offering a cash reward for the tip
that leads to the arrest of the suspects. The
details of the shooting are as follows:
On February 4 at 1:25 a.m., officers re-
sponded to a business, Beer 4 U, located
at 2177 Crain Highway in Waldorf for the
report of a shooting. Upon arrival, officers
located two people with gunshot wounds.
Miaquita Gray, 26, of Lexington Park, had
a gunshot wound to the upper body; she
was transported to a nearby hospital where
she was pronounced deceased. A 24-year-
old male was grazed in the leg during the
shooting. A preliminary investigation re-
vealed there had been an altercation inside
the business prior to the shooting, during
which a male acquaintance of Gray was
assaulted. Shortly after the altercation, the
man went outside to talk with Gray, who

Wilkins
had just left. Wilkins and Thompson, who
had been involved in the earlier assault,
were in the parking lot when Wilkins
pulled a gun and fired multiple rounds,
striking Gray and wounding another man.
It does not appear Gray was the intended
target. Both suspects fled the scene and nei-
ther have been located.

Shooting Arrested In Calvert
Maryland State Troopers from the Crim-

The victim told police she had been in
a previous relationship with Shurtleff and
was on her way to his house. While she was
in the driveway of his house, Shurtleff al-
legedly came out of the home and began fir-
ing shots at her vehicle. He then got into a
nearby silver Nissan Xterra, and used the
vehicle to block her in the driveway. He re-

CSM Announces Dual Great Properties

Enrollment Parent Nights
The College of Southern Maryland (CSM)
invites area parents of high school students
to attend Dual Enrollment Parent Night at
one of the colleges three campuses, Feb. 16,
March 1 and 2.
Dual enrollment allows high school stu-
dents to take classes at CSM for college
credit while satisfying high school gradu-
ation requirements. Benefits of dual enroll-
ment include a savings on tuition and a way
for college-bound students to get a head start
on earning credits toward their degree. Dual-
enrolled students pay half of CSMs regular
tuition rate for their courses, and college
credits earned at CSM can be trans-
ferred to most colleges and univer-
sities around the country.
This is a competitive admis-
sions program, and students must
demonstrate college-readiness to
be dually enrolled. Participants in
dual enrollment must complete an
application, complete college level
placement options and submit a
signed form by May 15 for the
summer semester, July 15 for the
fall semester and Dec. 15 for the
springsemester.

The Short Story: The St. Marys College

have an answer for the inside play of No. 3

afternoon. St. Marys dropped an 88-61
loss in Capital Athletic Conference action,
giving CNU the sweep in the season se-
ries. First-year guard Matt Ayoub (Fairfax,
Va./W.T. Woodson) extended his streak of
consecutive double-digit scoring games to
13 with a team-best 18 points.
What It Means
St. Marys remains in eighth place in the
conference standings and one game back
off the playoff picture.
How It Happened
Christopher Newport opened up the
game on an 11-0 run before the Seahawks

St. Marys would get no closer as the
Captains closed out first half on a 22-2 run
to stake a commanding 48-22 halftime
advantage.
Ayoub paced the Seahawks at the break
with six points on the strength of 2-of-2
shooting from downtown while junior for-
ward Chris Craft, Jr. (Waldorf, Md./West-
lake) grabbed four rebounds.
The Captains continued their hot shoot-
ing in the second half, connecting on
57.1-percent of their shots and outscoring
St. Marys once again, 26-8, in the paint.
CNU used a 16-3 run to start the final 20
minutes, giving the Captains their biggest
lead of 39 points at the 15:02-minute mark.
Inside the Box Score
Ayoub went 4-for-4 from downtown and
6-of-7 at the free throw line in securing his
18 points.
Junior captain Delaszo Smith (Annapo-
lis, Md./Annapolis) contributed 10 points
as Smith went 5-of-6 at the charity stripe.
From St. Mary;s College of Marylan
After a Wild Card playoff win against
the Minnesota Vikings, the 1992-93 Skins
traveled to San Francisco for a showdown
with the 49ers on 9 January 1993.
Washington, the defending Super Bowl
champion, had experienced all the post-
championship trappings injuries, inspired
opponents and ring-satisfaction - and
backed into playoffs with a modest 9-7 re-
cord. On the other coast, the 49ers, behind
QB Steve Young, had posted a league-best
14-2 record. It was a mismatch on paper.
Vegas take? Niners -9.5.
San Francisco predictably jumped out
to a 17-3 halftime lead. It wouldnt be that
easy though, not against a prideful, veteran
opponent and a Hall of Fame coach (Joe
Gibbs). The 60-minute game meant the
49ers would get a 60-minute fight.
In the second half, Washington methodi-
cally trimmed the 49ers lead to 17-13 and
grabbed full momentum after recovering
a fourth quarter fumble by Young deep
in Skins territory. This was it winning
time.
A handful of plays later, the Skins had
a first down at the 49ers 24-yard-line. A
conservative, bread-and-butter running
play was called. At the snap, The Hogs,
the most famous offensive line in NFL
history, opened a drive-a-truck-through-it
hole in the 49ers defensive front. As QB
Mark Rypien went to hand off to RB Brian
Mitchell for a big gain, if not the go-ahead
score, the ball slipped from Rypiens hand,
caromed off Mitchells leg and was recov-
ered by 49ers LB Mike Walter.
That was effectively it. The 49ers chewed
up the clock on the subsequent possession,
tacked on a field goal and won 20-13.
I remember three things from the game:
the fumble, the hole and the image of an
aging, defeated giant. I dont know if the
broken giant appeared after Rypiens fum-
ble or as the clock expired - the years have
contorted the details of the game, among
other things. No matter, the image of Joe
Jacoby, the Skins icon and player perhaps
most synonymous with The Hogs, remains
sharp and poignant. He stood, this human
mountain, with hand on hips, drenched in
sweat and with mud stains all over his uni-
form. The forlorn look on his face reflected
a great champions resignation of a defeat
much greater than a single contest.
Everything changed after that game.
Gibbs resigned a few weeks later. Jacoby
hung on for one more season but the fran-
chise cratered to a 4-12 record in 1993 and
entered a dark period of losing that it hasnt
consistently escaped to this day.

Workout
For me, that final stand of The Hogs
and the Joe Gibbs Skins version 1.0 was
a line of demarcation. I was no longer the

CSM Reaches Out To Long

Time Local Coach To Head
Lacrosse Program
By Zach Hill
Contributing Writer
Foote
On December 5th, the College of South-
ern Maryland let out a press release in which
they named a new head coach of their la-
crosse program, Stevenson Foote.
While Foote, his wife Jennifer, and his
two kids Emersyn and Roman are current-
ly living in Virginia, he is no rookie to the
Southern Maryland lacrosse scene.
Foote first began his lacrosse career play-
ing at Calvert High School, where he would
eventually go on to begin his coaching ca-
It was from that point to now that
Stevenson Foote would make the
jump to put his first steps on the col-
lege coaching scene by taking over at
CSM.
The college put together a search
committee to find qualified ap-
plicants.They reached out to a few
coaches and one of the coaches
recommended me for the posi-
tion.Foote explained. I spoke with
Ms. Ruble a few days later, inter-
viewed, and now Im trying to get the
guys ready for theseason.
Now with the season just around
the corner, we talked with the new
head coach about some of his goals
for his new team.
My (biggest) goal is to turn CSM
into a perennial power in the NJ-
CAA.There are many talented lacrosse
players in Southern Maryland I want the
College of Southern Maryland to be a viable
option for them to continue their lacrosse
careers, grow as players, and transition to a
larger NCAAinstitution.
A few of the players that Coach Foote
hopes will be large assets to the team this
coming season included #26 Brandon King,
#1 Greg Gaetano, #23 Quint Burroughs, and
Blue Crabs Sign
Three Players
The Blue Crabs and first-year manager
John Harris have started construction of
the 10th anniversary season team with the
signings of outfielder Gray Brown, infield-
er Zach Wilson, and right-handed pitcher
Sam Runion.
Gary Brown returns to Southern Mary-
land for a second season after posting a
strong end to his Atlantic League debut
campaign. The speedy outfielder hit .249
for the season. After a midseason stint
on the disabled list, Brown posted a .294
batting average becoming a regular in the
leadoff spot in the second half. His stellar
defense became an incredible asset in cen-
ter field, as the 28-year-old posted a .986
fielding percentage with only five errors.
Zach Wilson returns for his third season
in a Blue Crabs uniform. The infielder was
named the inaugural Bill Wootan MVP
Award winner presented by the Blue Crabs
Booster Club. Wilson earned the title after
posting a .278 batting average, while lead-
ing the team in RBI (70) and doubles (34).
He played the third most games (130) in
addition to being in the top three in runs
scored, at-bats, hits, and home runs. The
26-year-old joined the team originally in
2015, where he primarily played first base
with some time logged in the outfield.
Sam Runion is a 2007 second round draft
pick by the Kansas City Royals out of A. C.
Reynolds High School in Asheville, NC.
After a trip through the Royals organiza-
tion, the 28-year-old signed with Tampa and
was traded to Washington in 2014 where he
played in the Nationals Class-A Advanced,
AA, and AAA affiliates through the 2016
season. In 2016, the right-hander posted a
5.75 ERA in 24 games with Syracuse with
a 1.389 Walks plus Hits per Innings Pitched
(WHIP). This will be Runions first season
with an Atlantic League team.
Were excited to start building the 2017
roster, said John Harris. Zach and Gary
were key pieces too last years team and we
are very excited to have them return and
hit the ground running. Sam looks to be a
big part of our bullpen and we are happy to
have him join us this season.
The Blue Crabs open up the 2017 season
on April 20th in Waldorf, MD versus the
Long Island Ducks. For information regard-
ing tickets and other team news, visit www.

P
In high school, I had a few friends on the

lacrosse team that convinced me to come out
to an open field. Foote said. Of course, I
was not the best on day one but I [liked] the
speed and physicality of the game.
Starting off as an assistant coach in 2008
at Calvert, Foote was fortunate enough to be
able to take over the program as head coach
merely one year later.
Over my many years of playing sports,
Ive had several coaches who were positive
influences in my life. Foote discussed. I
was fortunate enough to be given the op-
portunity to coach lacrosse, a game I am
passionate about, during my first year
ofteaching.
Foote would then go on to lead Calvert
High Schools program to its first winning
season in six years.
Following his time at Calvert, Foote would
go on to head the junior varsity program at
St. Marys Ryken High School all the while
he would be able to teach at theschool.
While there, he also acted as a varsity as-
sistant coach under the then Head Coach,
John Sothoron. He worked in collabora-
tion with the now current Head Coach,
ChrisPerkinson.
After helping coach at a school that played
against some of the highest ranked high
school lacrosse teams in the country, Foote
decided to take his coaching and teaching

In late August of 2015, Foote made the
impulse decision to go coach and teach at
his old rival high school, Patuxent.
I went to teach in the Functional Skills
Program at Patuxent High School and coach
lacrosse. It was a great experience, I had the
opportunity to teach wonderful kids and
coach awesome players.

Foote thinks that some of his newer addi-
tions will bring in more options as offensive

threats, as well as a stronger defensive struc-
ture. He believes that some of these players 23275 JENIFER CT, LEONARDTOWN, MD
could achieve the honor of making All-Re-

But its the numbers that the now sopho-
more Brandon King put up last year that re-
ally have Coach Foote excited for what is to
come of him this year.
[Brandon] is a good two-way midfielder
that will increase his role on the team as a
sophomore. Brandon had 22 points last
year, 13 goals and 9 assists. With the way he
has improved, I expect him to have at least
30 points this season

Sgt. Rollin Nolan Scully Passes Away
Four-Year-Old Boy Battled Rare Form of Cancer
By Dick Myers
Staff Writer
The priest quoted from the Gospel ac-
cording to Matthew. After Jesus baptism,
a voice came from heaven, saying, This
is my beloved son, with whom I am well
pleased. Rev. Dan Carson of St. Francis
Xavier Catholic Church in Compton, went
on to say So true are these words about
Nolan a beloved son and with whom Our
Lord must be well pleased.
Father Carson was leading the prayers
for the hundreds who gathered on Leonard-
town town square on Friday, Feb. 3 for four-
year old Nolan Scully, a son of the commu-
nity who was fighting a battle with cancer.
Nolan lost that valiant battle the next day
when he died at the hospital with his family
by his side.
Nolan Scully was three years old when
diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare
soft tissue cancer, in Nov 2015; Since that
time the community has rallied around No-
lan and his family mother and father Jon-
athan and Ruth, his sister and brother Leila
Marie and Brayden Henry, and his Police
Dog, Bruno. Sgt. Rollin Nolan Scully, 4,
of Leonardtown, MD passed away on Feb-
ruary 4, 2017 at MedStar Georgetown Uni-
versity Hospital in Washington D.C., in the
arms of his loving family and caregivers.
The Southern Maryland community is
known for rallying around its own. No-
lans father Jonathan was past chief of the
Leonardtown VFD so that fire and rescue
community was particularly strong for
#Nolanstrog, as the little boy came to be
known on his Facebook page and on Twit-
ter. Those social media helped spread the
word about Nolans struggle far and wide.
As Leonardtown VFD Auxiliary Presi-
dent Doris Foo Tippett said to those as-
sembled at the vigil, Nolan is loved by so

The County Times
many. People from all over the world have
sent well wishes and have been subdued
by his coy smile. They are attracted to his
strength and bravery.
His obituary said, From the day No-
lan Ray was born, he was such a loving
and happy child. He always had an infec-
tious smile on his face no matter the cir-
cumstances. He could energize an entire
room with his fun-loving spirit! He was
wise beyond his years but could also put
you in the floor from laughter. Throughout
his treatment, Nolan endured many hard-
ships. He never once complained or cried.
He trusted his Parents and Team through
it all. To him, there was no sadness, he
made the best out of every situation. Nolan
was just a completely perfect person, with
nothing but love in his heart for everyone.
Every card he received in the mail, he read
and hugged. Every Facebook comment he
got, he would say Aw thats really nice of
themMommy.
Nolan was like many four-year-old kids.
He wanted to be a policeman, so he was
thrilled being sworn in for the first time by
his Boss, Mr. Richard Ross, Police Com-
missioner of Philadelphia, PA.
He loved to play with his dinosaurs and
he watched the Jurassic World movie every
night with popcorn before bed. Through-
out his treatment, he continuously watched
Jurassic World as if it was the only movie
evercreated!
According to his obituary written by his
family, Nolans most favorite thing above
anything was his Family. He loved being
with his family, even if it was just sitting
in the same room. His sister, Leila was his
Best Friend and they played every day, even
though he would say over and over that he
did not like girl stuff!!! Slimy Brayden
kisses were his favorite! He
loved to go outside and play
with his Daddy, especially
doing yard work! He loved
to spread mulch, but it had
to be red mulch! Red was
his favorite color!! He never
missed a chance to snuggle
with his Mommy! He laid
with Mommy every night
and would tell me how much
he loved me, which was al-
ways More than all of my
Police Cars and Firetrucks
in the whole Universe!
His energy sometimes
made everyone around him
forget that he was a truly
sick little boy with a dev-
astating disease requiring
constant treatment.
Tippett prayed to the
crowd at the candlelight
vigil n Leonardtown: This
is a time for love. A time
for reflection. A time to
standtogether.
Tippett continued, No-
lan is completing the final
journey of his short life. We
all will join him one day. This is why it is so
important to express your love, your grati-
tude and compassion openly. This is why
we should confess our beliefs openly with-
out reservations and share our love for God
almighty and one another.
Farther Carsobn said that earlier in the
day Nolan had received confirmation and
his first communion.
Little boys love fire engines. He would
have been truly tickled to see all the fire
trucks leading the procession bringing him
Thursday, February 9, 2017
home from Georgetown University Hospi-
tal to Leonardtown. The escort included the
NAS Pax River Fire Department and units
from the Leonardtown and Hollywood fire
departments. And he would of course be
thrilled to know that a Washington Metro-
politan Police Department cruiser led the
caravan. Many will believe that Nolan was
watching it all from a lofty perch.
The roads in St. Marys County were
lined with all of Nolans many friends. And
of course, there were all those Facebook
friends who have been pouring out their
thoughts about Nolan and his life. Friends
like Denise Guy who wrote, Nolans life
meant so much, here to show us what we
were made to be - a community of love and
faith who care for each other no matter how
small. God, we thank you and Nolans fam-
ily for this beautiful gift from You.
A Life Celebration Visitation for Nolan
will be held Thursday Feb. 9 from 4-8 p.m.
at Hollywood Volunteer Fire Department,

20636. A prayer service will be held at 7

zaga Catholic Church, 22800 Washington

Strong shirt or to wear red.

distributor who has continually supported
Nolan during his battle, they do have shirts
available so please contact them directly.

In his early years Jimi lived in Prince
Georges County, MD where he earned the
rank of Eagle Scout and graduated from
Suitland Senior High School. His mechani-
cal aptitude was a gift that helped him earn
his Stationary Engineers license through the
United States Post Office. He worked for
Pepco, the National Archives, and Marriott
as Chief Engineer. Later, Jimi moved to the
Tampa/ St. Petersburg area in Florida and
became a successful entrepreneur with nu-
merous store locations in Florida.
Jimi was an avid fisherman and all around
Outdoorsman but his true love was hunting.
He was a good, caring, sharing man who
always made everyone laugh. He enjoyed
spending time with his family and left his
nieces and nephews wanting more Uncle
Jimi time. He was loyal, dependable and
always willing to lend a hand. Jimi will be
sorely missed and we will cherish his mem-
ory in our hearts forever.
Jimi is survived by his father, Richard; his
sister, Virginia Ann Edwards (Clarence); his
nieces Francesca M. Fago (Daniel), Jacque-

The purpose of this Notice is to identify actions to be taken by the Town of
Leonardtown, MD. On or about 2/17/2017 the above named Town will request
that the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development
release federal funds from the Maryland Community Development Block Grant
Program to be used for the following project:
Project Title: Leonardtown Town Hall ADA Accessible Elevator & Fire Safe-
ty Project.
Purpose of Project: Install elevator and fire sprinkler system to second floor of
new town offices.
Location: 22670 Washington Street, Leonardtown, MD 20650

Request for Release of Funds
The Town will undertake the project described above with Maryland Communi-

of the Federal Courts if an action is to be brought to enforce responsibilities in

Nikos Pizza Celebrates 40 Years
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
In old Lexington Park things are not
what they used to be. Back in the 1970s St.
Marys Square was one of the only shop-
ping centers in the county available and
when it came to restaurants there were not
nearly as many around as there are today.
Businesses have come and gone and res-
taurants have opened and closed, particu-
larly at St. Marys Square but one remains
virtually unchanged since it opened its
doors for business back on Jan. 20, 1977.
Lambrini Pizanias, the proprietor there,
came from Greece in 1970 and found her
way to St. Marys County. Her family has
operated the restaurant successfully, offer-
ing Greek food that county residents sim-
Commissioners Proclaim African
American History Month
February is African American History
Month a time to share the historic and
present contributions of African Ameri-
cans in St. Marys County and across the
nation.
African American History Month first
started as Negro History Week in Febru-
ary 1926 as a supplement to the school
curriculum, through the work of African
American scholar Dr. Carter A. Woodson.
In the 1960s, the week was expanded to
Black History Month to commemorate,
through community activities, a more bal-
anced and accurate picture of Black His-
tory. The occasion is celebrated annually
during the month of February to coincide
with the birthdays of the great black leader
Frederick Douglass and President Abra-
ham Lincoln.

ply cant get anywhere else nearby.
Her pizzas and gyros (pronounced ghee-
ros) as well as native dishes like mousaka
and souvlaki have kept customers coming
back for more.
Shes uncompromising about how she
prepares her food and shes unabashed
about how good it is.
If youre doing something you have to
do it completely correctly, she told The
County Times. Its like art.
I love art.
Her gyros, lamb with cucumber and yo-
gurt on pita bread, she says are better than
any she has had in the region.
These gyros are the best, Pizanias
said. Everything is good.
Working with four employees, she still
works six days a week, she said, and she
loves her work but even she has to relax.
She closed down her business for three
weeks recently so she could go back home
to Greece.
Sometimes you have to take care of
yourself, Pizanias said.
But even though she is far from her na-
tive soil her small, cozy restaurant in the
square is festooned with pictures and post-
ers from home.
I like to be reminded of the people back
in Greece, she said.

The Commissioners of St. Marys County
took time to acknowledge the accomplish-
ments of African Americans throughout
the countys history. St. Marys County
recognizes the significant contributions
and tremendous advances African Ameri-
cans have made and continue to make in
our community, said Commissioner Mike
Hewitt (2nd District).
In proclaiming African American His-
tory Month, the commissioners encourage
citizens to honor the many contributions
made by African Americans throughout
the Southern Maryland region and to par-
ticipate in the many educational events hon-
oring and celebrating African Americans.

Letters to the Editor
Trumps Policies Impact SMC Health
Services
Did you seriously consider how Trumps
actions on Obamacare and immigration
would impact Health Services at SMC be-
fore you voted? Chances are you did not
even give this a second thought and bub-
bled in a ballot based on your own biases,
personal feelings or partisanship loyalty.
The worst-case scenario is that the loss of
Obamacare could cost SMC the closing of
St. Marys Hospital and other local rural
hospitals, since these health facilities rely
on funding and payments from this pro-
gram to stay afloat. The dilemma we face
will be severe over-crowdedness and lon-
ger wait times in the ER treating uninsured
patients with no resources to self-pay. Even
those with insurance will be subjected to
delay in services based on trauma care pri-
orities. How long do you think SMH or the
ER will survive under these circumstances
and loss of revenue? If closure becomes a
reality, do you think that you or any other
emergency victim would survive an ambu-
lance commute from SMC to So. MD Hos-
pital, or a D.C. Hospital; or, must a loved
one lose their life in transport to shock you
into reality?
Regarding immigration and the potential
impact on health care services, countless
immigrants have greatly enhanced, and
continue to provide vital medical services
to SMC and across the US. Specifically, I
publically applaud and extend my highest
gratitude and heartfelt thanks to Med Star
Shah Medical Group and Associates for
their commitment to the peoples of SMC
for over the past 40+ years. Not only have
the Shahs provided healthcare services, but
they are a major employer of the peoples of
SMC. At present, there are family members
of Shah Associates in Medical Schools pre-
paring to succeed the current doctors once
they retire. Do you realize a vote for Trump
and his immigration policies could severely
impact the future medical services of SMC
and these successor physicians who may
be here in the US on Temporary or Student
To the Editor:
In your 26 January issue on page 3 about
the MLK event featuring Hoyer and Kend-
all at St. Marys College, County Commis-
sioner Tom Jarboe is quoted, Its unbeliev-
able to assume that everyone at a gathering
Thursday, February 9, 2017
Visas? Not to say anything about their
families and loved ones. I have felt the
need to personally apologize to each of the
Shah Medical Group doctors who provide
services to me and my family members, on
behalf of the majority voters of SMC who
ignored these impacts, and have in their
voting choices shown their lack of gratitude
and disappointments in this matter. Give
this serious thought the next time you need
an Endoscopy, a Colonoscopy, a Bronchos-
copy or other procedure or have the oc-
casion to require these physicians service
and care. Maybe you will humble yourself
enough to say thank You, in advance, to
ensure that the procedure goes well. After
all immigrants are human beings too, and
when you disrespect, you get disrespect in
return.
Regarding Prompt Care, Urgent Care,
and other non-emergency services, the Med
Star Shah Medical Group remains SMCs
best option for any future medical services
should their be any local hospital closings.
Who knows, Shah Associates may some-
day open an intermediate Trauma Center
to stabilize accident victims for transport
to primary trauma centers in D.C. Just in
case, you cannot or could not figure it out
for yourself, quality health care services in
SMC is a higher priority than the threat of
terrorism by alleged illegal immigrants. In
another matter, be reminded that numerous
good, law abiding, tax paying immigrants
are now owner/operators of some of the
primary alcoholic beverage dispensaries
in SMC. You may also desire to thank and
treat these human beings with more grati-
tude and respect in the future.
Finally, keep in mind that if you are not
of Native American Heritage then you
yourself are also an i=immigrant or a de-

Father Joseph Thomas Jarboe
Joseph Thomas Jarboe was born near
Lebanon, Kentucky June 29, 1806. He was
the son of John and Dorothy (Hill) Jarboe,
natives of St. Marys County. He was or-
dained a priest in 1830.
In the 1840s Father Jarboe was as-
signed to the missions in Ohio, and then
became head of the college at Sinsinawa,
WI. He was among those recommended by
the Bishops of St. Louis to become Bishop
of one of the new dioceses to be erected in
that area.
When the Civil War broke out in April,
1861, Father Jarboe immediately volun-
teered to minister to the troops in the Sec-
ond Tennessee Confederate Regiment and
was in some of the bloodiest battles of the
war and distinguished himself in caring
for the wounded, especially at the battle
ofShiloh.
The fight was at its height and com-
rades of the chaplain were falling on all

sides while he was busy administering to
the dying. Finding a young soldier suffer-
ing from a mortal wound, Father Jarboe
was preparing to cut away his boots for the
anointing of the feet when a bullet shat-
tered the knife he held in his hand. Before
the priest recovered from this shock an ex-
ploding shell struck the injured soldier and
hurled his body some distance across the
field. As it did so, a penknife dropped from
one of his pockets and was put to use by the
chaplain. Father Jarboe always thought this
second knife was sent to replace the one
shot from his hand. He kept the knife as a
memento of the war and would often show
it to hisfriends.
During the latter part of the battle,
solicitude for the spiritual welfare of the
Union soldiers led Father Jarboe across the
lines under a flag of truce. His mission of
mercy ended, he tried to return to his regi-
ment but was seized by pickets of the Fed-
This time I knew she was scared, especial-
eral army and brought before General Wil-
liam Nelson.
He was being taken out to be shot when
the party was met by General Phil Sheri-
dan, who recognized Father Jarboe, for
whom he had served Mass in Somerset,
Ohio. Sheridan immediately ordered his
release and is said that the language used
by the General on that occasion was more
vigorous than polished.
Father Jarboe distinguished himself
not only as a chaplain, but as a great mis-
sionary in Ohio, Kentucky, and Tennessee.
His health was so poor at ordination in
1830 that he had to be supported by an-
And the tears flow
Do you ever have a week where no mat-
ter what you try to do or think, that tears
just seem to flow from your eyes? Derisive-
ness, divisiveness, and hate will always
make me cry. Friends and family going
through scary, yet hopefully life-changing
surgeries can make me cry. Actually, most
things at this time of my life make me cry.
Anything having to do with dogs and pup-
pies acting cute, doing something amazing,
or getting hurt or worse can make me cry.
Anything having to do with children that
is special or heartbreaking will definitely
make me cry.
Even something as simple as a small
Facebook group of 15 lovely women of all
races, denominations, and personalities
from all over the country and the world
that has suddenly started to unravel from
an issue has also made me cry a lot. Not
big crying, but just that constant flow that I
will all of a sudden be aware that tears are
streaming down my face. These women,
besides my wonderful husband, family,
many of you readers, and my dear friends
got me through tough and dark times af-
ter my shop closed and health plummeted.
Whatever happens I will still be in contact
with each of the women.
One of my best friends, a wonderful
caring woman who along with her late
husband made sure while my mother was
in the hospital and dying from lung cancer
and other issues for many months 17 years
ago, that I ate dinner every night whether
with them or not. They had me check in
with them every night when I got home
from the various hospitals my mother was
transferred to in D.C. and in Prince Georg-
es County...mind you I was 39 at the time.
This dear friend, now lives in Indiana and

other priest to receive the sacrament, yet
he outlived all his contemporaries, dying
in 1887 at the age of 81. t. It is generally
accepted that only deafness prevented his
becoming a Bishop.
From the end of the war in 1865 to 1884
Father Jarboe labored in Tennessee, and
was Vicar General of the diocese from
1869 to 1884. In 1884 infirmities of age and
deafness caused his retirement. He went
to the Dominican monastery in Somerset,
Ohio, where he died March 27, 1887.

wont be with me. Her son and daughter
are pretty close to my age and are keeping
me up to date. I am sure every one of you
have someone in your life right now that
has cancer and are going through the same
situation.
Tears have flowed this week the most,
like they have for most of the county, for
the young life of little Nolan Scully. We sat
on the side of the road a few days ago, in
awe and speechless, watching the proces-
sion escorting Nolan home to his parents
and county. I never got to meet Nolan per-
sonally, but remember the joy on his face
as he stood on the ballfield with the mem-
bers of local softballs Clements Cuties
this past year. Reading his mothers posts
about the day to day trials of Nolans life
with cancer have brought tears and amaze-
ment of Nolans strength, acceptance, and
hope for continued support of cancer chari-
ties: St. Baldricks Foundation and www.
hopeforhenry.org. I know we always ask
ourselves why would a child so young and
vibrant be faced with cancer. Why would
he be taken at such a young age? As my
husband said, He brought so many people
together to help him and to continue help-
ing children with cancer, no one who was
any way involved in his care, fundraising,
or just reading about his life was think-
ing of any divisiveness during Nolans last
months. Nolans legacy is his strength;
the group name of NolanStrong is so apt.
A wish is that something learned from
Nolans short life will help another child.
He raised so much awareness for child-
hood cancers. I pray for Nolans family and
friends at this time of unbelievable pain.
To each new days wish for a cancer-free
world, Shelby
