Investigation into Car Collision Continues By Lauren Procopio Staff Writer A car collision sent seven people to the hospital last Monday. On May 18, around 6:21 p.m., units from the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office Patrol Bureau and Crash Reconstruction Team were dispatched to the area of Adelina Road and Sixes Road, a Calvert County Sheriff’s Office press release confirmed. Preliminary investigation into the collision revealed that the operator of a 2014 Hyundai Elantra failed to yield to the right of way to a 2013 Nissan Armada when accessing Sixes Road from Adelina Road. Officials have identified the Hyundai driver as Brenda Lynn Stahl, 52, of Port Republic. Stahl had two other occupants in the vehicle with her – a 15-year-old male in the front right seat and a 15 year-old male in the back right seat. According to officials, Stahl was transported to Baltimore Shock Trauma Center by Maryland State Police (MSP) Trooper 7 and is currently listed in stable condition. The front-seat passenger was also transported to Baltimore Shock Trauma Center via MSP Trooper 6 and is listed in serious, but stable condition.

The other juvenile was transported to Calvert Memorial Hospital and officials stated he is listed in stable condition. The Nissan driver was identified as Joseph Edward Berry Jr., 63, of Prince Frederick. Berry was traveling with Pamela Thomas-Berry, 50, of Prince Frederick, who was sitting in the back right seat, as well as a 17-year-old male, who was sitting in the front seat; and a 14-year-old female, who was sitting in the back left seat. The four occupants were transported to Calvert Memorial Hospital, where they are listed in stable condition, officials stated. According to police, the Nissan was traveling northbound on Adelina Road, approaching Sixes Road, when the Hyundai entered the path of the Nissan from the right. The Nissan struck the Hyundai on the right rear axle and caused the Hyundai to spin counterclockwise. Deputy First Class Hardesty of the Crash Reconstruction Team is currently investigating the events that led up to the collision. lauren@somdpublishing.net Photo Provided by Captain Todd Ireland of the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office

The Calvert County Historical Society welcomed the Donovan Sisters to talk about their memories of the former Chesapeake Beach amusement park during their annual membership meeting and dinner. The park closed in 1972 and was located on what is now the Chesapeake Station housing development. The Donovan Sisters, Joanie Donovan Kilmon, Gail Donovan Hawkins, and Diane Donovan Harrison, came to the meeting to talk about their experiences growing up and working at the Chesapeake Beach Amusement Park. “1946 to 1972 was so Norman Rock-
wellian – safe, peaceful, and idyllic,” Harrison said. She talked about the ballroom, the synchronized swimming and diving teams, and some of the traditions there, such as the county’s sixth grade picnic. All three of the sisters played and worked at the park growing up. “The park has been a family affair for us our whole lives,” Kilmon said. Following the Donovan Sisters’ presentation, the Historical Society nominated their new board of directors. The newly elected president of the board is Guffrie Smith.

Proposed Sign NRC Names New Resident Regulations Inspector at Calvert Moving Forward Cliffs Nuclear Plant
By Sarah Miller Staff Writer
What will signage look like in your community in the future? Do you want to have a say? Come out to the June 9 work session with the Department of Planning and Building and the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) to voice your opinion. The sign regulation updates have been underway for more than a year, said Long Range Planner Jenny Plummer-Welker. So far, there have been 10 community meetings to discuss the proposed changes. “Sign regulations can be contentious and we wanted the public to be heavily involved,” said Department of Community Planning and Building Director Tom Barnett. So far, there have been a number of discussion topics the community has identified, Plummer-Welker said, including temporary signs for non-profit
organizations on county property, permits for temporary signs, and the amount of signage allowed in windows at businesses. Allowing temporary signs on public property could be a big can of worms, Barnett said. “If you allow one, you have to allow them all and that gets problematic.” Signs affect everybody, Barnett said. Businesses live and die by signs, he said, and nonbusiness owners don’t want too many in the community. The goal is to find a reasonable middle ground. Community member comments are public and available for review on the Calvert County website. The Department of Community Planning and Building will have a work session with the Board of County Commissioners on June 9, Plummer-Welker said. sarahmiller@countytimes.net
Nuclear Regulatory Commission officials in King of Prussia, Pa., have selected Christopher Roentgen as the new Resident Inspector at the Calvert Cliffs nuclear plant in Lusby, Md. The plant is operated by Exelon. “Chris Roettgen’s experience, technical expertise and training will assist the NRC in carrying out its mission to protect people and the environment by ensuring the safe operation of the Calvert Cliffs units,” said NRC Region I Administrator Dan Dorman. Roettgen joined the Region I office in February 2014 as a project engineer in the Division of Reactor Projects. Prior to joining the agency, he served for ten years as a submarine officer in the U.S. Navy. Roettgen earned a bachelor’s degree in physics from the U.S. Naval Academy and a master’s in applied physics from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County.
Each U.S. commercial nuclear power plant site has at least two NRC Resident Inspectors. Roettgen joins Senior Resident Inspector Rodney Clagg at Calvert Cliffs. They serve
as the agency’s eyes and ears at the facility, conducting inspections, monitoring significant work projects, and interacting with plant workers and the public.

Calvert County Officials Urge Awareness During Hurricane Preparedness Week Maryland Hurricane Preparedness Week began Sunday, May 24, and the Calvert County Emergency Management Division is teaming with the Maryland Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) and the National Weather Service (NWS) to promote citizen awareness and preparedness. The Atlantic hurricane season lasts from June to November but most hurricane-like weather is seen between mid-August and late October. Calvert County is at risk for strong winds, heavy rain, inland flooding and other severe weather. Residents can be “weather ready” by ensuring they know how to get a warning, have a plan and practice safety tips. “Safety during any type of severe weather event is the key,” said Al Jeffery, Calvert County emergency management specialist. “Familiarize yourself with hurricane evacuation routes and know how to find higher ground. Flooding and debris from strong
winds are often the deadly and destructive results of a hurricane. Stay tuned to radio and TV stations for official weather information and follow instructions given by emergency officials.” “While the last two hurricane seasons have been relatively quiet, we all remember the devastation from Hurricane Sandy in 2012, especially in the New York City area and on Maryland’s lower eastern shore,” said MEMA Executive Director Clay Stamp. “It’s important for us to always be prepared because even in a quiet hurricane season, just one hurricane making landfall in our area can be devastating.” The NWS highlights that in Maryland it is possible to see hurricanes or hurricanelike activity during the summer. “Damage to coastlines and destruction several hundred miles inland can be seen with these tropical storms,” said NWS Warning Coordination Meteorologist Chris Strong. “Hur-
ricanes can produce 150+ miles-per-hour winds, devastating high tides, flooding from torrential rain and even tornadoes.” Residents can also take actions to remain safe by practicing the following tips: · Stay tuned to radio and TV stations for official weather information. · Follow instructions and advice given by emergency officials. · Stay indoors during the hurricane and away from windows and glass doors. · Close all interior doors; secure and brace external doors. · Take refuge in a small interior room, closet or hallway on the lowest level. · Avoid using the phone except in the case of emergencies. · Avoid elevators. · If you live in a mobile home, plan to leave. Mobile homes are unsafe in high winds. · Do not attempt to evacuate during the
height of a hurricane. You are safer in your home than out on the road. · Ensure a supply of water for sanitary purposes such as for cleaning and flushing toilets. Fill a bathtub or other large container with water. This is important for those whose water runs off of an electrical system. This time of year is a good time to sign up for Calvert ALERT, a notification system that can send messages by text, email, fax, land line and pager. Residents are urged to visit the county website and click the Emergency Alerts link to register for the notification service. Those without Internet access can call 410-535-1600, ext. 2638, to sign up. To learn more about emergency preparedness, contact the Calvert County Department of Public Safety, Division of Emergency Management, at 410-535-1600, ext. 2638.

2015 CLICK IT OR TICKET “Border to Border”
As motorists take to the roads this Memorial Day holiday, the Sheriff’s Office is urging everyone to buckle up. Law enforcement officials will be out in full force, taking part in the 2015 national Click It or Ticket seat belt enforcement mobilization and cracking down on motorists who are not belted. “As we kick-off the busy summer driving season, it is critical that everyone buckles up every time they go out, day and night – no excuses,” said Sheriff Mike Evans. “Our deputies are prepared to ticket anyone who is not wearing their seat belt, including drivers that have neglected to properly buckle their children. – Click It or Ticket.” During the National Campaign wave in mobilizing the Click It or Ticket (CIOT) “Border to Border” Operation, the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office will partner with the Maryland State Police, St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office and the Charles County Sheriff’s Office to provide increased seat belt enforcement at county borders. The “Border to Border” Operation will send a zero tolerance message to the public: “Driving or riding unbuckled will result in a ticket, no matter which county or state”. According to the U.S. Department
of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), 9,580 passenger vehicle occupants killed in 2013 were not wearing their seat belts at the time of the crash. And unbelted fatalities are more prevalent at night than during the daytime: 59 percent of those killed in 2013 during the overnight hours of 6:00 p.m. to 5:59 a.m. were unbelted at the time of the crash. “Seat belts save thousands of lives every year, but far too many motorists are still not buckling up, especially at night when the risk of getting in a crash is even greater,” said Sheriff Evans. “We want to make this the safest summer possible. Buckling up is not optional; it’s the difference between life and death in a crash. That’s why we’re out here enforcing the law. Click it or Ticket, every time, day or night.” From 2008 to 2012, seat belts have saved nearly 63,000 lives nationwide. So while this year’s Click It or Ticket enforcement mobilization runs from May 18-31, officers will continue to save lives by enforcing seat belt laws year-round. For more on the national Click It or Ticket mobilization, please visit www. nhtsa.gov.

LOOKING FOR A BABYSITTER?
It’s that time of year. Finalize the budget for the fiscal year that begins July 1 with less revenue and increased expenses. Staff, Sheriff Deputies, and Teachers want pay raises. Nobody is paid enough. How’d we get here? The days of simply working well yielding a yearly salary increase are gone. A pay raise implies growth expectations for the subsequent year because that expense will compound. Economic policies of Washington, D.C. directly affect the U.S. economy. We now see the proverbial ‘chickens have come home to roost’ characterized by the saying ‘Elections have consequences.’ Some improve their income through entrepreneurship, take chances and risks, and a very few from luck. Most are paid the value of their labor as determined affordable by their employer. Supporters of the winning candidate for Maryland Governor in 2006 and 2010, and President in 2008 and 2012, have some explaining to do. The new Governor of Maryland, in office less than half a year has only begun attempting roll back of harsh economic and taxing policies of his predecessor. Who among us believe the President will reverse course in policy to permit the economy to recover? The U.S. Economy has not improved from 2008 because of failed economic policies. We are in the midst of America’s Lost Decade (2008 - 2018) with only a glimmer of hope it will improve nearer to 2018. There are many wonderful government employees providing vital, essential, necessary and helpful services to and for our citizens. Not one dollar (income tax and property tax) can go to any government employee unless or until it is first created by the private sector; and it is hurting. Increasing tax rates upon our already overtaxed county citizens won’t solve the problem. Instead, the economy needs to grow. Alternatively, cuts in county services may need to occur. That lack of economic improvement was compounded by more than 40 state tax increases over the last 8 years by the most recent failed Maryland State Administration. The worst was the double dipping placed upon the tax payers when the state forced counties to pay teachers’ pensions without reducing the equivalent amount

of taxes going to the state. For Calvert County, the amount in FY-13 of $2.8 million continued increasing to $4.8 million in FY-16, totaling $15.3 million through FY16. Available funding that could have otherwise Evan K. been used for salary increases instead went to- Slaughenhoupt Jr. (R) wards an unsustainable pension system. Doubly harmed were the teachers and other local county staff who not only had their taxes double dipped, less funds became available to support pay raises. Contrary to the miss-reporting by some local news outlets and individuals, the proposed funding of schools at the minimum (called Maintenance of Effort) for FY16 is not the first time in decades. The last time MOE funding occurred was just 3 years ago (FY13). Some say “raise taxes and pay me more” but don’t realize that would hurt their net take home pay. If one were to raise tax rates, why would it be just to cover increased teacher salaries, and not sufficiently large to include other needs? Doing so would likely cause less take home pay. Meanwhile, a new reality is that since FY09, the local student population decreased from nearly 17,000 to just over 15,000 with projected declines continuing at least through 2025. Some might wonder if the decreasing enrollment was instead increasing, the conversation would be about building additional schools. Calvert County will take a different approach to the budget build beginning with FY17. It will base line its Services and Functions with funding based upon relative priorities and recognizing the new realities. The separately elected Board of Education can do what it wants, but it is highly recommended they take a similar approach.

Maryland’s First Lady Visits Chesapeake Beach During Memorial Day Weekend
The Huntingtown High School Junior Naval ROTC Color Guard Presenting the Colors

hesapeake Beach kicked off Memorial Day weekend with the fourth annual Stars and Stripes Festival on Saturday, May 23 at 10 a.m. The three-day festival began Saturday morning and the festival’s theme was the Korean War. The event welcomed prominent figures in the state and First Lady of Maryland Yumi Hogan was the keynote speaker for the opening ceremony. “Today, I wouldn’t be here without you,” Hogan said to the veterans’ in the audience. Hogan, who is originally from South Korea, said she was “truly honored and grateful to our veterans.” Guest Speaker Colonel William E. Weber, who has since retired from the Army, joined when he was just 17 years old; Weber lost his arm and leg while fighting in the Korean War. “It’s known as the Forgotten War,” he said to onlookers, he stated he is “hopeful” that people will take a “special moment” to understand that lives were lost during the war. “If you went to Korea, you stood one chance in nine to be killed or wounded,” Weber stated.
“We fought Korea to save the world from communism. They are the only people who appreciate what we did for them,” Weber said. Among those in attendance during the opening ceremony was President of the Maryland Senate Thomas V. Mike Miller, Jr.; Delegate Mark Fisher; County Commissioner Pat Nutter; Secretary of Veterans’ Affairs George Owings; Sheriff Mike Evans; Chesapeake Beach Mayor Bruce Wahl; North Beach Mayor Mark Frazer; and Chesapeake Beach Councilwoman Valerie Beaudin.

CSM Brick Recognition Ceremony Remembers, Honors Impact of 8 Individuals on Families, Friends The College of Southern Maryland hosted a Brick Recognition Ceremony May 3 at the Prince Frederick Campus in tribute to eight individuals and their impact on families and friends. “Today is about recognizing our partners and our supporters by honoring and remembering those who believe in the mission of the College of Southern Maryland and share in the vision to transform lives, one at a time,” said CSM Foundation Chair Christine Rush. “It starts with a brick, or a scholarship, a room naming or an event sponsorship. That generosity and investment today, enriches and immeasurably impacts our community’s tomorrows.” Those recognized with either a memorial or honorary brick, which are placed in the brick walkway entrance to Building A on the Prince Frederick Campus, include: Charles R. “Dick” Bailey Sr., Joe and Aline Cafiero, Drs. Richard and Jean Fleming, John and Mary Anne Harms, and Bette A. Whyte. Bailey was remembered as a dedicated and strong family man who served as a role model in the community and for his family. Born in Washington, D.C. in 1929, Bailey was married for 64 years to Kathleen “Kay” Scheibel and together they ran J.A. Scheibel Construction until his retirement. An avid sportsman, Bailey shared his hobbies with his sons Rick and John, and grandchildren. Joe and Aline Cafiero were honored by their daughter CSM Associate Professor Joy Syring. Aline Cafiero attended Armstrong Junior
College in Savannah, Georgia, with her daughter following in her footsteps and attending the same school when it became Armstrong State College. Syring credits her parents for instilling in her a passion for education and dream of being a professor. Drs. Richard and Jean Fleming supported the program with an honorary brick to each other in tribute to their commitment to the college and to Calvert County. Collectively, they have worked in education for nearly 70 years in a wide variety of positions in six states. They moved to Calvert County when Richard Fleming became vice president and dean of the Prince Frederick Campus in 2009. Jean Fleming graduated from CSM’s nursing program in 2013. John Harms was remembered by his wife, Mary Anne Harms. Born in Hagerstown, John Harms was an engineer and founded the John E. Harms Jr. and Associates Engineering consulting firm in 1955. He served as president and CEO for many years. John Harms believed that the value of a man should be seen in what he gives and not in what he is able to receive, therefore both he and his wife are well known for their generosity. Through the Harms’ philanthropy, the Healing Garden at Calvert Memorial Hospital, Harms Gallery at the Calvert Marine Museum and the Marianne Harms Multidisciplinary Suite at the Sheldon E. Goldberg Center for Breast Care at Calvert Health System. A brick was also placed in honor of Mary Anne Harms next to her
late husband. An astute businesswoman, a friend raiser and a philanthropist, Mary Anne Harms’ generosity has touched many lives and served as a catalyst for improving Southern Maryland. Mary Anne Harms, with her husband John, created a scholarship fund that has made an impact on many Calvert County students pursuing their higher education goals. She is an advocate for education and what it can do for a person’s quality of life. Whyte was remembered by her daughter, CSM Lead Institutional Research Analyst Kathy Marshall. Born in Baltimore in 1933, Whyte had four children, seven grandchildren and five great-grandchildren and was happiest when working around people. A collector and antique enthusiast, Whyte enjoyed going to auctions and loved spending time at the beach, especially in Florida, said Marshall. The CSM Brick Program is a lasting celebration of those who have a special connection to CSM and the Southern Maryland community. As a tribute to a family member, a friend or to represent a special occasion, a brick is inscribed and placed among other honorary bricks at locations available on all three campuses. Bricks are available for $200 with the funds providing financial support to the college and its mission. To view photos from the Brick Recognition Ceremony, visit: csmphoto.zenfolio.com /15prinbricks. For information on the program, visit www.csmd.edu/Foundation.

Local Sailors Seek to Build Up Solomons Sailing Community By Sarah Miller Staff Writer Right on the heels of their last venture, Lisa and Andy Batchelor Frailey are finding new ways to build up the sailing community in Solomons. They want to help individuals who want to get into the cruising lifestyle but aren’t sure how to go about doing so, Lisa said. She and Andy have years of experience and want to put their knowledge to use in the local sailing community, so they started Kinetic Sailing, designed to build on their first business, Sail Solomons Sailing School and Charter. Through Kinetic Sailing, Lisa and Andy will consult with individuals ready to purchase their first boat. The couple can walk through the process, offering marine consulting, charter brokerage, deliveries, and specialized instruction with a more global scope, Lisa said. Lisa and Andy are both USCG Masters and American Sailing Association (ASA) instructors. They founded Sail Solomons to fill the need in the area for a quality sailing and cruising school. Operating in the Chesapeake and Caribbean, Sail Solomons was awarded ASA’s “Outstanding School” for five consecutive years. Kinetic Sailing will not be in competition with Sail Solomons, Lisa said. She and Andy sold the school, but are still involved as instructors and advisors. Kinetic Sailing is meant to dovetail with Sail Solomons and cater to individuals ready to take the next step. According to a Kinetic Sailing press release, “long-time sailors and boat owners, they (Lisa and Andy) met at a sailing regatta in Naples Italy while both serving overseas.
Andy retired in 2003 as a Royal Air Force Wing Commander in the intelligence world, married Lisa, and set his sights on a new career in sailing. In 2006, Lisa retired as a US Navy Captain in the aviation, meteorology and oceanography fields, and the couple relocated from Washington DC to Solomons, Md.” Lisa and Andy are currently outfitting their Outbound 46 Kinetic, and look forward to full-time cruising in 2016.

brazeau said. A woman dedicated to the people around her, Woobrazeau works hard to create a friendly, welcoming ambience for those who visit her store. “The people…can be like extended family— great, great customers. They say it’s like walking into my home. I try to bake something different every weekend, so a lot of regulars will come in and ask ‘What did you make this weekend?’ I try to create a warm, happy atmosphere,” Woobrazeau said. “Kindness is key.” Woobrazeau has enjoyed her time running Spice and is looking forward to the future. “It’s different everyday, you never know what you’re going to get in. It’s wonderful, it’s a great business, you get to meet a lot of great people,” she said. “It’s just fun, it’s very fun.” For more information about Spice, call 410-867-9777 or visit www.facebook. com/pages/Spice/339566730951.
If you’re looking for unique or antique items at a reasonable price, Spice, a consignment shop owned by Donna Woobrazeau, is the place for you. The West River business, established in June of 2009, offers a select variety of items you won’t find anywhere else. “Our economy was really bad back then [2009] and I wanted to try to create a win-win for everybody, meaning the buyer, the consigner who’s selling it and the shop…I just try to help out people that are consigning and trying to get rid of their stuff, and what I think might sell, what looks good,” Woobrazeau said. “It’s all consignment, so I have no idea what’s going to come through the door from day to day. The funky, the unique, the unusual, I love that.” Consigned items are run on a 90-day contract, which includes two decreases in the price of an item after specific periods of time. “It’s a 90 day contract. An item comes in at a price, and after 30 days it goes down 15 percent and after 60 days it goes down another 15 percent,” Woo-

The Southern Maryland Agricultural Development Commission (SMADC) is currently investigating the acquisition of land in order to develop a regional Agricultural Business and Center for Food Innovation (the “Ag and Food Center”).

The Southern Maryland Chapter of the Military Officers Association of America (MOAA) hosted Maryland House State Delegate Tony O’Donnell at Adam’s Ribs of Prince Frederick on May 16. Delegate O’Donnell, a veteran himself, reviewed the bills related to veterans’ issues in the
recent legislative session. The bill that received the most attention this year, one to exempt veteran pension income from Maryland state income tax, was reduced to only increasing the exemption for veterans 65 and older to $10,000. The original bill would have exempted all veteran retirement income and
would have encouraged veterans to retire in Maryland and pursue a second, taxable career, according to the Maryland Retired Veterans Task Force. Delegate O’Donnell supported the original bill. For more information about the Southern Maryland Chapter of MOAA, visit somdmoaa.org.

York Haven Pa.’s Jason Covert became the first repeat winner of the season with his win in last Sunday night’s 35-lap “Ernie Jones Memorial” at Potomac speedway. The win for Covert, worth a cool $3,022 pay day, was the defending track champions 6th career Potomac Late Model win. The re-draw placed Covert and Ricky Elliott on the front for the start of the event with Covert darting into the race lead as the field roared down the backstretch. As Covert lead, fourth starting Kenny Moreland settled into second on lap-three, and set his sights on Covert. Moreland would get close as the laps wore down but Covert would eventually lead all 35-circuits to score the popular win. “This win go’s to all the guy’s back at the shop.” Covert stated during his post-race interview. “We hurt a motor last night at Winchester and these guy’s busted their tails all day today getting a new motor put in the car so we could race tonight.” Covert reflected the importance to he and his team to win on Memorial Day weekend. “My heart go’s out to all the armed service people past and present.” Covert quipped. “These people are the ones that allow us the freedom’s to do the things we enjoy and it’s an honor for myself and this team to win on Memorial day.» Amanda Whaley scored her career-best Potomac finish taking third with Ross Robinson and Jamie Lathroum rounding out the top-five. Heats went to Covert and Moreland. Darin Henderson took his second win of the season in the 20-lap RUSH Crate Late Model and his second of the weekend as he took top-honors at Winchester the evening prior. Henderson would start on the pole and lead all 20-circuits but would have to fend off a pesky Logan Roberson, who came from 12th, over the final six laps to post the win. However, the power plant bolted in Henderson’s Rocket no.22 was confiscated by track officials in accordance with RUSH officials for a complete inspection, so Henderson’s winning effort is declared “unofficial” until the validity of the engine can be determined. Matt Glanden, Ben Bowie and Darren Alvey unofficially completed the top-five. heats went to Ben Bowie
and Matt Tarbox. In support class action Mike Latham collected his second win of the season and career 39th in the 16-lap Street Stock feature, Ed Pope Jr. rolled to his third win of 2015 in the 15-lap Hobby Stock main and defending Winchester Speedway U-Car champion Jeff Wilkins scored his first-career Potomac feature win in the 20-lap U-Car event.

Cornerstones, Breaks and Chemistry By Ronald N. Guy Jr. Contributing Writer My wife wears me out for my alleged man crushes. She latches on to many suspects - Hunter S. Thompson, Keith Richards, Art Monk, Martin Luther King Jr., Batman, Abe Lincoln, Sam Calagione (Mr. Dogfish Head Brewery) and The Dude from The Big Lebowski – and produces an avalanche of comic relief…at my expense. Admittedly, it’s quite a list, an (apparently) irresistible cornucopia of material for her needler gene. Of course she often (and intentionally for the sake of laughter) mischaracterizes affinity for awkward infatuation. But I am guilty. I have man crushes, like my little thing for Gary Williams, former Maryland men’s basketball head coach and member of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. Williams’ rebuild of the Maryland basketball program after Len Bias’ death and the NCAA sanctions in the late 1980s is legendary. Williams inherited a program in 1989 that was in the midst of a near death experience. 13 years later, Williams’s Terps won the 2002 National Championship. His signature now appropriately adorns the court at Xfinity Center on the Maryland campus. Man crush? Oh yeah, I love me some Gary Williams. But it was another Williams – Walt Williams – that Gary often credits with much of his success. Walt arrived at Maryland a year before Gary and by all accounts should have transferred. He was too talented to languish on a bad team and with a program banned from postseason play. But Walt stayed and became the cornerstone player for Gary’s great reclamation. Current Maryland head coach Mark Turgeon found himself desperately seeking a program cornerstone last year. In three seasons at Maryland, Turgeon hadn’t produced a NCAA tournament team and several talented players had transferred. The program was flailing – again – and Turgeon was on the hot seat. Then Melo Trimble arrived and changed everything. Trimble, a McDonald’s All-American point guard from Upper Marlboro, was sensational last season. He distributed the ball. He scored. He calmed. He inspired. After ripping off 28 wins, Melo and the Turtles gave a school and its coach their swag back.
Turgeon was fortunate to get Trimble. Gary was lucky to keep Walt. Such is life. Getting a break is one thing; doing something extraordinary with it is special. Gary did (hence my crush). Turgeon might too. Since Maryland’s season ended with a third-round NCAA Tournament loss to West Virginia, no school has improved more than the Terps. Turgeon, already with highly touted Georgia Tech transfer Robert Carter inbound for 2015-16, used Trimble’s decision to return for his sophomore season to score Diamond Stone, a five-star recruit, and Duke transfer Rasheed Sulaimon. The additions have Maryland, a program that just made its first NCAA tournament appearance since 2010, tucked well within the preseason top five. What a difference a year makes. Turgeon was Robert Zimmerman last summer; he’s Bob Dylan (yes, another man crush) now. Turgeon’s no longer fighting for his job, but the recruiting success has created new concerns. The Terps will sneak up on no one next year and will face expectations Maryland hasn’t seen since Juan Dixon was playing at Cole Field House. But those are uncontrollable, external forces. Turgeon’s biggest challenge is internal: molding this massive collection of randomly assembled talent into a cohesive unit. Maryland’s pending chemistry experience will likely include three new starters (Stone, Sulaimon and Carter), a handful of players with designs on the 2016 NBA Draft and talented incumbents vying for playing time. Turgeon will have to compel this fabulous collection of 18 to 21-yearolds, many stars in their own right, to sacrifice and accept roles for the betterment of the whole. It’s a better problem to have – any manager in any facet of life would choose excessive talent over a talent deficiency - but Turgeon will be tested, as a master of basketball X’s and O’s and human behavior. I wish him luck. I can’t get my kids to collaborate on modest household chores. With Maryland’s recent success and bright future, am I crushing on Turgeon? Not yet…but if the Turtles cut down the nets next April, suffice to say my wife will have some new material. Send comments to RonaldGuyJr@ gmail.com

From my Backyard to our Bay A St. Mary’s County Resident’s Guide to Improving Our Environment and Drinking Water
From My Backyard to Our Bay was first developed by the Baltimore County Soil Conservation District. From there, the booklet was given to each of the Soil Conservation Districts in the Chesapeake Bay watershed area for customization. If the 17.5 million residents who live in the watershed area of the Chesapeake Bay read this booklet, and took to heart its suggestions and best practices, the Chesapeake Bay would see a dramatic increase in health. Obtain a FREE copy of the booklet by going to the St. Mary’s River Watershed Association, smrwa.org and downloading it. The booklet is available at Wentworth Nursery in Charlotte Hall; Chicken Scratch in Park Hall; The Greenery in Hollywood; Good Earth Natural Food; and the St. Mary’s Soil Conservation District in Leonardtown. Join your local watershed association and make a difference for Our Bay!

Forest Stewardship Forest land is important to the overall health of the Chesapeake Bay. Forests provide several layers, from the canopy to the forest floor, that act as filters, improve water quality, reduce sedimentation, remove nutrients, and regulate stream flow during storms. Maryland’s 2.5 million acres of forest, most of it privately owned, cover approximately 42% of its land area. St. Mary’s County’s land area is about 50% forested, and has more than 400 miles of shoreline. Wooded buffers along these shorelines are critical to improving Bay health. Acre for acre, forested lands produced the least amount of runoff and pollution. The County occupies a forest transitional zone, where the dominant tree species vary from oak/ hickory to tulip poplar to sweet gum/red maple and loblolly pine. Forests can be harvested on a sustainable basis for materials, including structural lumber, crates, shelving and furniture, flooring, mulch, and pulp for paper. Forests can, in most cases, provide these products while

also maintaining and even enhancing wildlife habitat, recreational activities, and soil conservation. Timber harvests are closely monitored by a partnership of agencies, including St. Mary’s Soil Conservation District and St. Mary’s County Department of Land Use and Growth Management.
Go to trees.maryland.gov for information on planting trees. There is a Recommended Tree List for the program Marylanders Plant Trees. There is a $25.00 coupon on the website for purchasing a tree. However, the tree must be on the eligible list of trees. There are 14 small trees, or 29 large trees on the list that is updated periodically.
