When you belong to an electric cooperative, every penny you spend on your electric bill benefits you.
SMECO has faced unique challenges over the past 73 years, being in a rural location with an exploding populationour customer base has ballooned by 25 percent over the past 10 years alone. As an electric cooperative, it has been our goal from the beginning to bring our customermembersour ownerssafe, reliable electric service at a reasonable rate. As our infrastructure ages and expands, we continue to focus on providing that reliability. From 2008 to 2009, the number of service interruptions was reduced by 16 percent, including during the major storms that affected our area. This continued improvement in reliability is due to the many system enhancements underway at SMECO. In 2009, we added $42 million in new infrastructure, including new distribution and transmission equipment. Projected capital requirements for the next 10 years, in transmission and distribution alone, exceed $552 million. System maintenance, material costs, and operating costs continue to rise. SMECO needs to recover these costs in order to continue to provide safe, reliable electric service to our members. On June 17, we filed a rate case with the Public Service Commission seeking an increase and restructuring of the Distribution Service charges on your monthly bill. Our application requests an increase of the rate for the Customer Charge, and a decrease of the Distribution Charge. This transition will bill many fixed costs under the fixed rate Customer Charge, and bill variable costs under the per-kilowatt-hour Distribution Charge. Splitting costs into demand-related and customer-related components ensures you only have to pay for what you are actually using. SMECO has worked hard to control these Distribution Charges. We have reduced our wholesale power costs and your rates have gone down. These power-cost savings have passed directly to our customers, resulting in savings today of almost $24 a month for average-use residential customers compared to May of 2009. With SMECOs proposed distribution rate increase, these same customers will only see an approximate $10 increase in their total monthly bill following the rate adjustmentstill approximately $14 a month savings on bills since this time last year. For more information on SMECOs rates, please visit www.smeco.coop/rates.
Your Paper... Your Thoughts

Do you think there is a shortage of affordable housing in this area? If so, what do you think could be done to fix the problem?
Charlie Goldstein, 72, a retired architect who is planning to move to this area, said he didnt think there was a big shortage. From what I saw looking at real estate in this area before we made a decision no, it seemed to be wellpriced. We looked a little bit here and it seemed okay, but theres a big question of whats affordable and what isnt.
99.99% reliability isnt an accident
Jackie Reuben, 39, a cosmetologist who works in Lexington Park, said she thought there was a serious shortage of affordable homes in the area. I know I dont own a home, she said, I think a lot of people cant afford it [rental housing] Everyones moving in with their families. I live with my mom, my sister, my stepfather and my father, and we all pool our rent together.
I wouldnt know much about that, but Id say so, said Brandon Underwood, 17, from Leonardtown. I think the president should lower rent prices so more people can afford it.

The risk of being struck by a falling meteorite for a human is one occurrence every 9,300 years

By Guy Leonard Staff Writer In the wake of an incident that involved the arrest of a woman who recorded a sheriffs deputy with her cell phone during a noise complaint call more than a week ago, States Attorney Richard Fritz has said he will drop the charges against the defendant in the case. Fritz said that in most cases police operating in the public have a reasonable expectation of being recorded; he added that the officer likely had probable cause to make the arrest for intercepting his communications but proving that in court beyond a reasonable doubt was unlikely. Fritz, who said he did not view the cell phone recording made by Yvonne Shaw, said that from the charging documents he read the officer in question, Cpl. Patrick Handy, did nothing wrong in disbursing a disturbance June 12. I believe he was doing everything right, Fritz told The County Times Wednesday. Shaw, 27 of Great Mills, was relieved at the news. Im very pleased at that; I didnt think that I had done anything wrong, Shaw said. Sheriff Timothy K. Cameron also has said that citizens have the right to record events in public, including those that involve police officers, in most cases. Cameron said there were cases where it was inappropriate for police to be recorded via either camera or by voice, such as when they were taking witness statements, but while in public there was a reasonable expectation that they might be recorded. Cameron said that he had been seeking funding for years to get cameras installed in patrol cars to record events that could prove the innocence or guilt of an officer that had a complaint filed against them. Im adamantly in favor of it, Cameron said. Cameron said that the incident that resulted in Shaws arrest by Handy for her recording his interaction with members of the

Handy was being so nasty that he didnt notice I was recording him, Shaw told The County Times. He was in my phone for like 10 minutes. Shaw said that she has spoken with police investigators since the incident but declined to say exactly what those conversations were about. Cameron confirmed that investigators have been in contact with Shaw about the incident. To be honest Im kind of scared, Shaw said. But you shouldnt be afraid of the police. Its really too much for me. Cameron said the case was a priority for investigators to complete. This case is important, Cameron said. I think the public is keen to see what happens.

Audit Finds Fault With State Elections Board

and provisional ballots, the audit stated, which has been a continual problem since 1995. The state board also did not take adequate precautions to control cash receipts and accounts receivable in their agency, the audit stated. The most glaring financial oversight, according to the audit, was a failure to report a $2 million deficit to the state comptrollers office during fiscal 2009. The most recent audit showed that while the state elections board had corrected some previous findings from a 2006 audit but other deficiencies remained. The audit also noted that there has been no resolution between the elections board and a vendor providing voting machines, both touch screen and optical scan, to the tune of $8.5 million in reimbursements sought by the Office of the Attorney General. That money was required because the vendor had not met all that was in the contract, which had a total cost of $91 million, the report stated. Bruce Meyers, legislative auditor for the state, said that what is lacking most from the state board when it comes to local offices and vendors is oversight and that lack could have repercussions on the integrity of the election process. The repeat findings are a disappointment, Meyers told The County Times Wednesday. Hopefully theyll follow through. In a written response to the audit, state administrator Linda Lamone said that turnover in personnel had an affect in the audit findings. Lamone also stated in the audit response that
The states Board of Elections, which manages voting and voter rolls through 24 local boards, has not maintained the propriety of voter databases throughout the state, an audit presented by the Office of Legislative Audit states, to include insuring that convicted felons had not been removed from the rolls. The audit, released by the state agency June 10, also found that the state board did not obtain an independent audit of the controls over the states voter registration system that would aid in insuring the integrity of the voter rolls. Also, the state board did not pursue full review of the local boards of elections adherence to election laws and regulations such as absentee
the agency would seek more funding to get additional employees. Lamone also contended that the state board does review local voter rolls and that those reviews result in meaningful improvements to the database, which have a positive impact for voters and the election process. Wendy Adkins, local director of the elections board, said that the state board had made no mention to her about problems regarding the integrity of voter registration databases. Weve been following the laws for years, Adkins said. Weve never had a problem processing changes to the voter rolls with deaths or party changes. guyleonard@countytimes.net
Feds Release Inspection Report for Calvert Cliffs Shut Down
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has found that concerns about reactor safety and operations at the Calvert Cliffs nuclear power plant are minor in the after math of a shutdown of the two reactors Feb. 18. Diane Screnci, spokeswoman for the King of Prussia, Pennsylvania office of the NRC, said that the two reactors shut down due to a failed electrical connection between multiple systems. The electrical problem initially caused a coolant pump for the first reactor to stop operations, which in turn caused the second reactor to shut down. The report cited the operators of the plant with what is known as a white finding or violation, which is of a low to moderate safety concern, Screnci said, because they did not implement a maintenance program for a diesel-fueled back up generator that should have come on line to keep the coolant pumps running at the plant. The report noted that there were leaks
in the roof of a building that contained safety equipment that helped the functioning of the coolant pumps. That problem was rated as a green violation, which is of a low safety concern, the report stated, though the leaking roof was deemed to be the cause of the malfunction. The report went on to report that roof leaks accounted for 58 work orders for repair that had not been scheduled or planned, with some being more than two years old. After the problem caused the first reactor to shutdown, the report stated, work crews repaired the roof leak. There was no safety consequence to plant workers, the public or the environment associated with the shutdowns, said NRC Regional Administrator Sam Collins. The NRC resident inspectors were in the plants control room to monitor the reactor operators response. The team will review the causes of the shutdown and how the plant operators and equipment responded to it. guyleonard@countytimes.net
Southern Maryland Electric Cooperative, Inc. (SMECO) is filing a request with the Maryland Public Service Commission to restructure and increase its Distribution Service rates. SMECOs proposal does not affect the Standard Offer Service portion of the customer bill. SMECO proposes a change in the Distribution Service charges that will result in a increase of about five percent on the average customers overall bill, though that percentage
SMECO Proposes Rate Increase
will vary depending on individual usage. SMECOs rate filing proposes a Customer Charge of $29.56 per month and a Distribution Charge of $0.02092 (2.092 cents) per kilowatthour, reduced from $0.0289 (2.89 cents) for electricity consumption. The reduction in the Distribution Charge will save average-use residential customers over $10 a month on the portion of the bill determined by kilowatt-hour usage.

It looks like a good year for carnival-goers, as Mechanicsville Volunteer Fire Department has teamed with M&M Amusements to fire up the Ferris Wheel and cotton candy machine for their 49th annual carnival, which runs next weekend through June 27. We raised a lot of money last year, said Darene Kleinsorgen, Carnival Co-Chairman, and this year were doing very well, were a little ahead of last year. John Montgomery, President of Mechanicsville Vol. Fire Department, said that this years carnival is featuring more rides than last year, as well as $1,500 in raffle drawings and other prizes. This is our biggest fundraiser. Really though, most of what we do goes to help the ladies [auxiliary], said Montgomery, adding that they had been given chairs and a new sign recently from the departments auxiliary, which is also raffling gift cards at this years carnival, which features 11 rides as well as added food items and vendors for visitors. Carnival Chairman James Burroughs said that his committee would be considering ideas for special events at next years carnival, which will be the departments 50th. We just had our 75th year in service last year, so well be doing something special next year, since itll be our 50th year, he said. Right
getting people here and having a good level of awareness its very difficult being a public charity thats privately funded. Its events like these that actually keep our doors open to the public.

Dominion Donates $200,000 for Smart Buoy in Bay

By Sean Rice Staff Writer The Dominion Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Dominion Resources, has provided a $200,000 grant to Coastal Conservation Association Maryland for an open-water monitoring buoy at the Dominion Reef at the Gooses, an artificial reef in the Chesapeake Bay off Calvert County. Two years ago the Dominion Foundation donated a reported $275,000 to construct the artificial reef at the Gooses, using more than 10,000 tons of recycled concrete recovered from demolition of Woodrow Wilson Bridge. The buoy will provide real-time data on water quality, waves, currents, and other information useful to boaters, fishermen, students, researchers and others. The buoy is scheduled to be placed at the Dominion Reef within the next two weeks, said Dominion spokesperson Karl Neddenien. Data will be available on the Maryland Department of Natural Resources Web site: www.eyesonthebay. net and the NOAA Chesapeake Bay Interpretive Buoy System Web site: www.buoybay.org. I am delighted that this partnership has enabled us to place the ninth buoy in the NOAA Chesapeake Bay Interpretive Buoy System at Gooses Reef--a great fishing spot on the Bay, NOAA Assistant Administrator for Fisheries Eric Schwaab said in a press release. This buoy includes a new sensor that will allow scientists to monitor bottom dissolved oxygen to better understand the environmental challenges facing our recreational and commercial fisheries. Thousands of recreational anglers are looking forward to the placement of this buoy, said Tony Friedrich, executive director of Coastal Conservation Association Maryland. Tides and conditions are crucial to successful fishing, and by reviewing information from this buoy anglers will be able to plan their trips to increase the likelihood of more productive fishing. This buoy also will make boating safer for everyone since its providing real-time data. Dominion and the other partners are creating a tremendously valuable resource for all of us.

To The Editor:
Civil liberties for terrorists. Terrorists should be tried in Military Tribunals, not in civil court at tax payers expense. Political correctness. Our government will not identify radical segments of Islam and associated Terrorists for what they are. The Fort Hood shooter is a prime example! Apologies for America. When President Obama stands on European soil and apologies for America , I am offended. We have over 100,000 military personnel buried in that same soil. They gave it all to liberate Europe from the Nazis, and they didnt get to come home. No apologies necessary! Dimishing support for Israel, and lack of a firm stance against Iran and their drive to get nuclear weapons. Are we becoming a paper tiger? We can not remain a Military Super Power if we are not an Economic Super Power. One World Governance that diminishes our Sovereignty. Disregard for our Constitution and Judeo-Christian Values this Country was founded upon. Lack of Leadership from our government as the BP Oil gusher continues to do major damage. We can put a man on the moon, but can not deal with this? We must elect new leaders with fresh ideas. Steny Hoyer is a polished politician, who has turned into a rank partisan, supporting the radical agenda of the left-wing of the Democrat Party. What happened to the Blue Dog Democrat Party of our fathers and grandfathers? Consider Charles Lollar, a Black, Fiscal Conservative, Businessman, family man, U.S. Marine Reserve Officer, who believes in Limited Government, a strong national defense, term limits, our constitution, and Judeo-Christian values our great country was founded upon. Mr. Lollar is running in the Republican primary with the goal to unseat Congressman Hoyer in November. Help save the republic. Vote in people like Charles Lollar, a great American, who needs your support. Joe Wible Sr. Leonardtown. I made DVD copies of all the 3-hour videos that MetroCast has cablecast after midnight instead of at 9 pm when viewers have expected to see them, to give to the commissioners so they can decide for themselves whether, as MetroCast says, they are videos viewers dont want to see. These videos that MetroCast kept viewers from seeing have as of June 18 totaled 30 hours of video. I will give DVDs of these videos plus any further videos not cablecast at 9 pm to anyone who wants to have them to decide whether to tell MetroCast the videos should get cablecast at 9 pm. If you ask me to make DVD copies, you can come get them at the next public meeting of the nonprofit on the last Tuesday at 6:30 pm in the Leonardtown SMECO building. David Triantos Leonardtown, MD

Help Save Public Broadcast TV

When I moved to St. Marys County in 1995, the cable franchise agreement between the county government and the cable company operating in the central part of the county required the cable company to cablecast on channel 10 public-access videos submitted by county citizens. In 1995 I learned a group of citizens had got together in 1991 to cover the county commissioner meetings and cablecast them as public-access videos but as of 1995 the only member of that group still covering the meetings was Doug Ritchie. Because it is important for citizens to know more about what their government was doing, I bought a camcorder and a VCR capable of basic editing and began working with Doug. In the year 2000 Doug and I and six other people founded the 501(c) (3) nonprofit named Community Television in St. Marys, Inc. In 2002 and 2003 the county government and the cable company negotiated a new franchise agreement, which went into effect in 2003. A main goal of our nonprofit was to become the facilitator of public-access programming, and we tried to contribute some input as to what should be in the franchise agreement. As is normal, the franchise agreement says it supersedes all previous franchise agreements but then is fuzzy about establishing public-access, educational-access, and county-government-access channels. Channel 10 has continued to cablecast public-access videos, using VHS tape decks. In 2001 the cable companys general manager made 9 pm until 12 Monday through Friday the time slot available on channel 10 for public access. I then stopped doing new public-access videos except for four 3-hour episodes each fall covering the county fair. Otherwise in the Friday-night 9 pm until 12 timeslot I rerun my 3-hour videos, currently my 2002 videos. On Thursday nights I currently rerun my 2-hour videos from 1999 in the last two hours of the 3-hour time slot. The first hour is when new producers, which can be individuals or noncommercial organizations in the

Detectives say that a violent sex offender has violated the terms of his release by not residing at his designated home and are now seeking to arrest him on an open warrant. On June 1 detectives began an investigation into the location of Michael Ray Anthony, Sr., 44, of Lexington Park and found that he was not living at the residence he told to police. Anthony is being charged with violation of his probation and failing to
Michael Ray Anthony Sr.
notify the sex offender registry of a change in address. Police say that so far they believe that he may be living somewhere in the Ridge area, according to information they gathered during their investigation. Court records show that Anthony was convicted of a third-degree sex offense back in 2002 after being charged with second-degree rape and child abuse, but those charges were not pursued by the States Attorneys office. Court records also show that Anthony has had charges of violations of probation in the past. Investigators are asking anyone with information regarding Anthony and his whereabouts to call the sheriffs office Bureau of Criminal Investigations and contact Cpl. William Raddatz with the Sex Offender Registry Unit at 301475-4200 at extension 1958. Citizens can also make anonymous tips to Crime Solvers or through text messaging at either 301-475-3333 or by text messaging to TIPS 239 and then adding the message to 274-637 (CRIMES). guyleonard@countytimes.net

By Sean Rice Staff Writer On June 20 at approximately 4:53 p.m. members of the Calvert County Sheriffs Office Patrol Division and Crash Reconstruction Team responded to Shamrock Court in Port Republic for a report of a serious motor vehicle crash. A preliminary investigation determined that a red 2010 Chevrolet Camaro R6, operated by Nicholas Adam Grigsby, a 27-year-old male of Lexington Park, was traveling southbound on Shamrock Court when the vehicle left the roadway and entered a side skid.

The Lockheed Martin F-35 Joint Strike Fighter short takeoff/vertical landing (STOVL) variant flew faster than the speed of sound for the first time June 10, achieving a significant milestone. The aircraft accelerated to Mach 1.07 (727 miles per hour) on the first in a long series of planned supersonic flights. For the first time in military aviation history, supersonic, radar-evading stealth comes with short takeoff/vertical landing capability, Bob Price, Lockheed Martins F-35 U.S. Marine Corps program manager said in a press release. The supersonic F-35B can deploy from small ships and austere bases near front-line combat zones, greatly enhancing combat air support with higher sortie-generation rates. The F-35B will enter service for the Marines, the United Kingdoms Royal Air Force and Royal Navy, and the Italian Air Force and Navy. The supersonic milestone was achieved on the 30th flight of the F-35B known as BF2. U.S. Marine Corps pilot Lt. Col. Matt Kelly climbed to 30,000 feet and accelerated to Mach 1.07 in the off-shore supersonic test track near Naval Air Station Patuxent River. Future testing will gradually expand the flight envelope out to the aircrafts top speed of Mach 1.6, which the F-35 is designed to achieve with a full internal weapons load of more than 3,000 pounds. All F-35s are designed to launch internal missiles at maximum supersonic speed, as well as launch internal guided bombs supersonically. During the flight, Kelly accomplished 21 unique test points, including several Integrated Test Blocks to validate roll, pitch,

yaw and propulsion performance. BF-2 is the third F-35 to achieve supersonic flight. Two F-35A conventional takeoff and landing variants also have broken the sound barrier. The F-35 program has about 900 suppliers in 45 states, and directly and indirectly employs more than 127,000 people. Thousands more are employed in the F-35 partner countries, which have invested more than $4 billion in the project. Those countries are the United Kingdom, Italy, the Netherlands, Turkey, Canada, Australia, Denmark and Norway. Three F-35 variants are under development - the F-35A CTOL variant to replace U.S. Air Force F-16s and A-10s, as well as aircraft employed by seven allied nations; the F-35B STOVL variant to replace U.S. Marine Corps AV-8B Harriers and F/A-18s, U.K. Royal Air Force and Royal Navy Harrier GR.7s, GR.9s and Sea Harriers, and Italian Harriers; and the F-35C carrier variant to replace U.S. Navy F/A18s. The F-35 Lightning II is a 5th generation fighter, combining advanced stealth with fighter speed and agility, fully fused sensor information, network-enabled operations, advanced sustainment, and lower operational and support costs, a release states. Lockheed Martin is developing the F-35 with its principal industrial partners, Northrop Grumman and BAE Systems. Two separate, interchangeable turbofan engines are under development: the Pratt & Whitney F135 and the GE Rolls-Royce Fighter Engine Team F136.

Csm Administrator To Assist In Oil Spill Clean-Up Efforts

T h e College of Southern Mar ylands associate vice president of Academic Affairs has been recalled to active duty this summer in the U.S. Coast Guard Reserves to assist with the Gulf Dr. Subocz Coast oil spill response, during which shell be working as a Coast Guard Liaison to the state and/or one or more parishes to ensure that all are all parties are working together. Dr. Subocz has more than nine years experience in higher education, most recently with positions as chair of the Division of Distance Learning and Faculty Development, and instructor and assistant professor of mathematics and physics. She also has 12 years of active duty service and nine years of reserve time as an officer in the U.S. Coast Guard, and was recently selected as CSMs associate vice president of the Division of Academic Affairs. A quality education made such a difference in my life, providing me with so many great opportunities to see and do things I never would have been able to do otherwise. I am hopeful that in this position I will have the best chance of providing this same kind of opportunity to many more people in the community, whether they are coming right out of high school or looking to CSM as a way to improve their current career situation, Subocz said. The most interesting aspect of her new position is getting to see the big picture instead of a glimpse of how things fit together, she said. Suboczs current commitment to fill an urgent manpower need in Louisiana will divert her only temporarily from her goals as Associate Vice President of Academic Affairs, with an anticipated return in mid-August.

on the deal for three years say that the state-sponsored financing package is necessary to preserve what affordable housing stock the county has, since the market does not persuade developers to create new housing that would suit residents in the lower to mid-range income range. The challenge to preserve affordable housing today is greater than ever, said county Department of Economic and Community Development Director Bob Schaller. Thats because the market will not naturally produce work force housing because the rent structure is too low to be profitable. In what amounts to a publicly subsidized project, local Housing Authority
Director Dennis Nicholson said that a federal loan program from the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the Department of Housing and Urban Development are making it possible for the state to access financing to make the deal happen with little expense to the county. The county does not have any exposure, Nicholson said of the deal, though he acknowledged that the Indian Bridge LLC partnership that runs the apartments, would still be responsible for paying of the debt incurred to move the project forward. That partnership involves the private company, Osprey Property Company based in Timonium, and the local

meant that the Housing Authority had to find a for-profit company to manage the complex and that in the current economic conditions the public-private method for preserving affordable housing was the best practice. Theres a huge underserved population in the county, Gelrud told The County Times Wednesday. If public dollars did not go to purchasing and managing the property there, she said, and went instead to the market, higher priced dwelling units would likely follow and force the current residents out. What would those families do?, Gelrud said. Thats not to be underestimated. Jan Barnes, who sits on the Housing Authority board with Gelrud, said that the property would reach a greater value in time once renovations were completed. But the expenditure of $15 million was needed to keep the housing stock there not just affordable but attractive to potential tenants. Were expanding the life span of that property, Barnes, a realtor, said. In due time it will reach that [higher] value. We cant do the renovations over night. County Commissioner Lawrence D. Jarboe (R-Golden Beach) said that there was no guarantee that the project would be successful. Its a little tenuous, the vote was not quickly forthcoming, Jarboe said. We dont have a complete track record of the project with Osprey having 51 percent. The question is will it [the property] recover that value; lets hope so. In 2009 the county commissioner board quashed a request from the countys Community Development Corporation to apply for $500,000 in federal money to acquire and then demolish one of two abandoned gas stations across from Indian Bridge Apartments, but Jarboe said that the current Indian Bridge deal was of a different benefit than the one that would have razed the building on the Besche Oil company. The difference is dozens of people who need homes versus one property owner who would benefit, Jarboe said. guyleonard@countytimes.net

Baltimore Rockers Bring Crushing Days to Southern Maryland

By Andrea Shiell Staff Writer Though it clearly echoes the weirdness of a Joe Satriani tune from the late 1980s, guitarist and songwriter Jim McFaul said that he actually got the idea for the name of his band, Crushing Day, while living on the beach in Ocean City. Its actually our interpretation of a really cool day, like a day at the beach when I named the band, it was a long time ago and I was at the beach, so I guess I was thinking about the waves and the sunshine, said Jim, going on to explain how he and his band mates have had plenty of crushing days since forming in 1993. After finally solidifying their lineup in 1998-1999, Jim is now joined by Larry Fitgerald (bass, vocals), Ross Tyrie (guitar), and Craig Schuster (drums). And while Jim said the group is still hugging the Baltimore circuit, there is a charm to playing in more remote locations like those in Southern Maryland, and theyll be traveling this far south several times over the summer. As they entertained a large crowd at Veras White Sands Beach Club in Lusby on Saturday night, they recapped some of the frustrations that drove them away from recording and more toward life as a cover band, playing mostly on the Baltimore/Annapolis circuit where they maintain a large following of dedicated fans. Theyve had some time to perfect their craft, after all, winning top honors in Maryland Music Monthlys readers poll in 2001 and 2002, and sharing the stage with some impressive acts over the years including SR-71, DaDa, The Posies, Driven and Cryin, Ace Freehley, Jimmies Chicken Shack, The Pat McGee Band, The Ravyns and Dig, all of whom were 99.1 WHFS staples before the station changed formats literally in mid-song to tropical Latino music in 2005. Its been nine years since the band set foot in a studio, but their work on Radio Fools and their 3-Song EP both serve as proof that they know how to fashion riffs and melodies, and they can do it with a good mix of both style and substance. Still, as Jim said, its a completely different animal than playing in a cover band. Its a lot of work, and there was a time when we were writing and going to New York to meet with record labels and try to record a CD. But when you do that, you start to realize how many other good bands are doing the exact same thing. Not that Jim has given up on writing songs, but he said hes happy to trade in his songwriting spurs for cover-band gigs across the state. The cover-band circuit works for these guys, too, and its difficult to deny them their parroting skills when they can churn out danceable renditions of everything from U2 to Johnny Cash. Plus, one look at the crowds energy proves the gist of the bands name. Its always a crushing day when they play. Crushing Day will play next at Veras White Sands Beach Club on August 7, and at Gilligans Pier in Newburg on August 20.

Rev. John Mattingly was born in St. Marys County on January 25, 1745. He was baptized at St. Andrews Episcopal Church with his name being given as John Baptist Mattingly. He was the son of Clement Mattingly and Ann Burton Coyle (daughter of Edward and Elizabeth Coyle of Anne Arundel County). He was ordained a priest in the Society of Jesus at Belgium on September 7, 1766. When he left Maryland we dont know, but his fathers will dated December 12, 1778 devised to my son John Mattingly, now a priest, 20 pounds current money of the State to be paid by my Executors on his arrival in Maryland. He did request a return to Maryland, but was denied. Father Mattingly died at Causetown, Ireland on November 23, 1807 while there on a visit. According to an article in The Catholic Historical Review, The Church in the United States will hardly ever again be placed in a position so perilous as that which occurred during the years of the

lands to sustain themselves in a variety of ways. Finally some Jesuits dwell with lay families, where they serve the role both of chaplains as well as missionaries. The farms and fields, which they have, if operated in a proper manner, would be sufficient to sustain the majority of the missioners there. But, because of the shortage of priests and brothers as well as the constant call of ministerial duties, they tend not to give sufficient attention to the farms, with the result that they are either badly cultivated, or a large part of the harvest goes to ruin.

Suppression of the Society of Jesus (17731814). When the Society was formally suppressed by Pope Clement XIV, it became the unpleasant duty of Bishop Richard Challoner of the London District to announce this lamentable fact to the members of the Society living in the American Colonies. And the blow which had fallen on that great Religious Congregation was hardest to accept in the midst of the difficulties which surrounded the infant Church of the United States. Fortunately, as the letters which passed between Challoner and the Propaganda show, the Church was grateful towards these valiant sons and allowed them to remain at their post of duty. It was recognized that, if they were not permitted to go on with their apostolic work as seculars, the Missions in the English Colonies would collapse.The Catholics at that time in Maryland and Pennsylvania numbered about 20,000. In Maryland there was practically complete freedom of worship. But it was more restrained than in Pennsylvania, where the Church was free.

Lingering Memories
By Shelby Oppermann Contributing Writer I hope all the Dads had a relaxing Fathers Day last Sunday. Some fathers enjoy action instead of a cook-out. We, of course, had a rousing softball game in Young Mens softball. For many of us, our fathers now just hold a tender, but vivid memory in our minds. The impact our departed fathers have on us leaves a lasting imprint on our lives. Im still on an organizing kick; going through drawers, paperwork, workshop, or anywhere where things start to get out of hand. In opening a drawer in the bedroom, I found that I still had my fathers white t-shirt that I loved to sleep in. Why cant I throw this out its been thirty years since my father passed away. When I think about throwing it away, I get this awful feeling in the pit of my stomach like guilt. In the rational part of my mind, I realize that if my father were still alive he would have thrown it out. It doesnt carry his scent due to probably a thousand washings. I cant see him in it. Yet, the hold is still strong. My irrational mind says I am not honoring his memory if I throw it out. I rarely, if ever, look at the shirt. I think its enough knowing the t-shirt is there. It must be the same for his old Clinton Fire Department briefcase I keep, or the old booksI see a problem here. The same hold is also on my mothers towels. I pulled out one of my mothers yellow towels to use after my shower, and suddenly realized that this towel must be over forty years old. But there are no holes or damage. Wow, towels were made good back then. When I use it I remember getting wrapped up in it after baths and feeling cozy and protected. There was nothing like having a bath on a Sunday night. Youd get all warm and relaxed, get in your soft flannel jammies and lay on the floor to watch Wild Kingdom and then The Wonderful World
of Disney. Was it really such a simple world - only for children, I imagine. I sure didnt like those same towels when I had to go down into our scary, musty basement and fold them as a kid. I can still smell all the bleach my mother used in the towels. Its amazing they didnt disintegrate over the years. But, the towels are still useful, a little faded, but so soft. There must be something you have held on to past its useful life. I admire and am in awe of people who can get rid of most everything old and start fresh. They re-start their memories and traditions. Military families are good at this by necessity. I have just started on the closet in the extra room. I had a little yard sale at work, and started hunting through bags and bags of things that my kids and I moved from our apartment to here. That was nearly 10 years ago and we havent needed to look in them yet. Very little in the bags was loaded with meaning, and I am mercilessly going through them. I am tired of being bogged down with stuff and I want that closet! Finding a new storage space for the things you really need and use is a great motivator. This was probably not the best time to tear apart the closet and the room my brother and sister-in-law are due in from Utah later this week for our Surrattsville All-Class reunion. I think I will go now, and take my Dads t-shirt, hold it, absorb its lingering memories and gently place it in the trash. Maybe it is the result of turning 49 this week, and my mental deadline of having everything organized and clutter-free by next June. My father lived simply, with little material possessions; his own streamlined world within our home. I believe that is his legacy and lingering memory for me.

Wilson Endures Heat For First 250 Championship

By Chris Stevens Staff Writer BUDDS CREEK In breaking through at Saturdays American Motocross Association championship at Budds Creek, Scotsman Dean Wilson knew it wouldnt be easy as the day became hotter. The heat was crazy, I had to drink lots of water, a tired but happy Wilson said after winning the second 250 cc moto and his first overall win on the AMA circuit. I drank so much water I had to go to the bathroom really bad after the race. Wilson paced himself in the first moto, finishing fourth and wanting to save his energy for the second go-round. Christophe Pourcel cruised to victory in the first moto, but finished in fourth place, opening the door for Wilson, second place Justin Barcia and third place finisher Tyla Rattray to make moves in the second moto. Coming down the stretch, Rattray had a chance to pass Barcia and take the overall lead on the day, but on a turn, he got caught up in one of the banners surrounding the track, detaining him just long enough to keep him from the overall title. I knew it was for the overall and Im upset with myself, Rattray said of the minor mishap. I gave everything I had, but I lost at a lot of ground and it cost me. The humidity played a huge factor in Barcias second-place finish, with the rider admitting that it was a close call in the final laps. The first moto was pretty smooth, I enjoy that kind of style. The second was really dry, Barcia said. I was holding on for dear life at the end. Holding on helped Barcia claim second overall, crediting better beginnings in both motos for his success on the afternoon. I worked hard on my starts and its showing, he said. Starting good was the biggest thing. Wilson paced himself in the first moto, knowing he was going to need all of his strength and endurance for the second moto, especially with the heat becoming more oppressive by the minute. I was tired no matter what, in that first one, I pushed, but it didnt work out, he said. The second one, I kept a steady pace. I knew if I tried too hard Id make mistakes, Wilson was grateful for his first win, but hopes the next victory comes in less fiery conditions. Id like to win one the easy way, he said with a smile. For the first one, this was tough as it gets. chrisstevens@countytimes.net

Raider Parent Wins National Award For Football Media Guide

By Chris Stevens Staff Writer Sometimes, the best things in life happen by accident. For Leonardtown High School football parent Kimberly Connor, winning a National High School Sports Publication Award falls in the category of the unexpected. I found the contest quite by accident, said Connor, who oversees production and publishing of the Raiders football media guide that won a 2009 Silver Award for parentprepared media guides for high school enrollments between 1,501 and 1,900 students. When two of my sons (John and Tim) began wrestling last fall, I was recruited to create a wrestling program, she explains. While searching the internet for examples, I came across the call for entries. The deadline was approaching; I knew I had a few extra copies so I decided to enter. When I received the award certificate in the mail, I had completely forgotten about the contest. I was very surprised. What makes the award all the more amazing is that Mrs. Connor, with the exception of a few other parents, solely produces the Leonardtown guide, which was available in mass quantities at every home game this past season. I create the entire design and layout, as well as do some writing and all of the editing. Charles Churchward, (father of recent graduate Vince), took 99% of the photos including the action shots and individual photos, she said. I sold the sponsor and family ads and designed something with what the parents sent in. Steve Gass (also a football parent) of Heritage Printing helped me with the finishing touches, adjusting some color and spacing, and expertly printed the final product. It is also a time-consuming effort, one that begins more than a month before practice is schedule to start. I start with research: updating facts, schedules, and statistics. Then I email the coaches (including the cheerleader coach and band director) for schedule updates, bios and expectations for the new season. Once football practice starts, I send out the request for family and sponsor ads, Connor said. When the final roster is nearly set, just before the first game, Chuck schedules a day to photograph the boys and coaches. He also shows up at practices and scrimmages for action shots. During this time, I am laying out as much as I can so we can have it printed before the first home game. It usually involves a lot of late nights and things get pretty hectic just before the first home game. This year a parent or two has volunteered to help with the sponsor ads and we plan to start requesting those much earlier than in the past, around the beginning of July. Mrs. Connor feels the success of the media guide is a reflection of the people prominently featured within its pages. The award reflects the hard work of the players, coaches and parents, she said. I enjoy producing the media guide and hope it makes the season more special for the fans and players. chrisstevens@countytimes.net

Haynesworth Drama Brings Interesting Opinions

By Chris Stevens
One thing is certain the Washington, D.C. sports scene is on fire these days. While rookie pitcher Stephen Strasburg calmly goes about establishing baseball success in the District, the Washington Capitals are making plans to improve on their disappointing season and the Wizards are poised to inject new life into their hurting franchise with the first pick in the NBA, presumably taking point guard John Wall. The talk of town however still remains the ongoing feud between the Washington Redskins and defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth. Haynesworth, who signed a seven-year, $100 million contract with the Skins before last season, wants to be traded because new coach Mike Shanahan plans to implement
SPORTS DESK
m The
the 3-4 defense, which would limit Haynesworths ability to stuff the run, the ability that Dan Snyder and Vinny Cerrato (player personnel director at the time) coveted when they shelled out the big bucks for Haynesworth. In the weeks this story has been in public, the former Tennessee Titan has been vilified by everyone, from former Redskin LaVar Arrington on his radio show to fans who have derisively dubbed Haynesworth Fat Albert. Its interesting to see how this has developed into an entire team and city against one man, when the anger should be really directed at Snyder and his reckless spending habits, along with the inability to build a solid nucleus through the NFL draft. Albert Haynesworth is a product of his environment, and the environment of the Redskins under Dan Snyder is one where money is no object and high-priced free agents are seen as the key to returning the Redskins to their glory years of the 1980s. Many big names have passed through FedEx Field under Snyders watch, and some of which (Bruce Smith and Deion Sanders to name a couple) have been past their prime with expensive price tags. The results have shown as Washington has one playoff victory in the last 10 seasons to their ahem credit. It has been a perfect storm in the negative way for Haynesworth, who put up subpar numbers in 2009 after being doomed from the start by fans who had seen this horror movie before. A devoted fan base starved for a winner? Check. Said fans frustrated by the team owners micromanaging and unconscious spending habits? Check. Multiple Super Bowl-winning coach with an innovative swagger riding in on his white horse determined to restore glory to the burgundy and gold? Double check. Blockbuster trade for a disrespected franchise quarterback that would be adored if he was anything better than the previous guy? Triple check. Those four elements make for a sizzling off-season situation and Haynesworths mistrust of the Redskins threatens to upset the hopes and dreams of a team looking to compete in one the NFLs tougher divisions. While I am not suggesting that Haynesworth isnt irrational for his hatred of the 3-4, its not entirely his fault that the Redskins signed him last summer, knowing that any team with a 3-4 set was going to be off his radar as he does much better and makes more plays in the traditional 4-3. The difference of course between a 4-3 and a 3-4 is one less defensive tackle and one more linebacker in the latter defensive set-up. The 3-4 would be a great showcase for Brian Orakpo, who might be the closes thing to the late Derrick Thomas since the man himself. Haynesworth however would be forced to work harder and make less of an impact while doing it, which isnt his thing. To his credit or not, he admitted the system wasnt for him and he signed with the Redskins believing their promise of retaining a 4-3 defense. Shanahan comes in as a 3-4 guy and now theres beef. So while everyone is mad at Albert Haynesworth for looking out for himself and his future and productivity as an NFL player, they should also cast a blaming glance towards Dan Snyder, whose clueless management of one of the NFLs proud franchises has led to this volatile situation.

The Southern Maryland Blue Crabs closed out their road trip with a four-game sweep of the Long Island Ducks, cruising to an 11-3 victory on Sunday afternoon in front of a past-capacity crowd of 6,404 at Suffolk County Sports Park. Southern Maryland jumped on the scoreboard first with a fiverun fourth inning against Ducks starter Randy Leek. Back-to-back RBI doubles from Travis Garcia and Patrick Osborn, a RBI single by Matt Craig, and a two-run double by Richard Giannotti did the damage. The Blue Crabs (32-24) extended their lead with four more runs in the fifth. Osborn had a RBI single, Craig hit a two-run home run, and Jeremy Owens connected on a solo homer to take a 9-0 lead. The Ducks (28-28) cracked the scoreboard in the sixth as Brendan Monaghan ripped a RBI double to right field, scoring Matt Esquivel. Long Island plated two more in the

How to Make Your Boat Go Faster

By Keith McGuire
My usual fishing buddy, Richard, came by the house at 6:00 AM the other day for our weekly fishing excursion. Hes a good fishing buddy who always chips in for fuel and usually brings lunch for the two of us. He always brings three fishing rods and a tackle box big enough to challenge the fork lift at the local lumber yard. We jumped on the boat and headed out to fish for bottom feeders. As I was preparing my rig, I asked Richard if he had a sinker in that tackle box of his. Surprised because I usually have every bit of tackle one could need somewhere on the boat, he accommodated me, but asked why I didnt have one. Im trying to make my boat faster, I said. What do you mean? he asked. So I explained that to minimize weight on the boat, I had removed my cache of sinkers, several jig heads that I havent used in years, and a ton of other superfluous tackle. Undaunted, he simply replied, Im also eat fish and work as a team. Some say it is a sign that the water quality is improving, or that the bait fish are here in good numbers. But as much as we like seeing them, fishing always seems to slow a little during and just after their visits. [Insert Chris Moe picture here.] Summer is in full swing now and that means that we can find bottom feeders almost anywhere. Anglers are having fun catching croakers, spot and white perch. Bluefish have been found here and there, but in lesser numbers than most people expect. Stripers are still around. They are beginning to school up and breaking fish can be found in the early mornings where there are high concentrations of bait fish. Stripers that you were fishing for last week near bridge pilings and structure seem to have moved on probably due to fishing pressure. If you can find decent numbers of spot, these fish can be used as live-lined bait for stripers. As for flounderdont waste your time! Their arrival seems a little late this year and the only reports that Im getting on flounder in our area are incidental catches. When they come, they will arrive at Cornfield Harbor and the Eastern Shore channel edges first. My friends in the Virginia part of the bay down around The Cell and Buoy #42 are finally beginning to catch good numbers of flounder, spade fish and cobia, so the flounder should be here soon. The cow-nosed ray is another fish that you cant miss on the water. They seem to be everywhere! When you hook into one of these plow-horses, work the fish correctly or you could break a rod or lose it altogether. I dont recommend fishing for them, but they can teach you lessons in how to land big fish that exceed the extremes of your fishing line and tackle. If you play them right from the front of your boat, they may actually pull the boat which is just another method of making your boat go faster! Have you got a current fish picture and a story of a great catch? If so, send an email to riverdancekeith@hotmail.com.
Keith has been a recreational angler on the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries for over 50 years; he fishes weekly from his small boat during the season, and spends his free time supporting local conservation organizations.
