Last Annual Michael D. Schrodel Memorial Golf Tournament
3
By Sarah Miller Staff Writer
After 14 years, this year marks the last for the Michael D. Schrodel Memorial Golf Tournament. The tournament has been held annually “in memory of Michael D. Schrodel, who left us at the very young age of 33 years old,” said tournament coordinator and friend of the Schrodel family Mike Vermillion. “It’s an annual event that brings together Michael’s old and new friends, as well as family and local community members to celebrate his life and help us all remember him.” Money from the tournament has gone to fund a scholarship at Frostburg State University, a college fund for Carmen Schrodel, and a donation to Calvert Hospice. The traditional venue for the tournament, Twin Shields Golf Course, will be
closing later this year. Because of this, it will be the last year for the tournament. The proceeds have been used to fund Michael’s daughter’s college education as well as support his alma mater Frostburg State University and the local area Cal-

Take the Pledge to Eat Fresh Every Day During Buy Local Agriculture Week July 18-26 In conjunction with the state of Maryland, Calvert County will celebrate the bounty of local agricultural products July 18-26 by highlighting the benefits of buying local products from area farms, farmers markets and farm stands. The Calvert County Board of County Commissioners will officially proclaim July 18-26 “Buy Local Agriculture Week” during its meeting Tuesday, July 21, and will encourage county residents to take the pledge to eat at least one thing every day from a local farm during the week. There are endless ways to participate in the state wide “Buy Local Challenge.” Add one or two farm items a day to your meals – perhaps fresh eggs with breakfast one day, a snack of local fruit or a glass of local wine on another. As part of the week’s celebrations, residents can shop at a temporary farmers market on the lawn of the Calvert County Circuit Courthouse on Main Street in Prince Frederick every Wednesday in July from 12 to 4 p.m. Residents are also encouraged to visit the county’s many roadside stands as well as the farmers markets during this

A Letter of Thanks
Commissioner’s Corner
over there trying to do what I could personally. Animal Control Officer Amy Howard drove to Lusby to pick up a trap from Officer Sheckles, who spoke with me and offered the trap, and drove it all the way to Chesapeake Beach to set it up. She tried for hours to help us catch the dog. She even came back on her day off with her personal dog to see if that would help coax the dog closer. Animal Control Officer Montgomery also assisted over the weekend to assess the situation and provide further assistance. The Animal Control department was exceptional in their giving of time and expertise. Many do not realize the genuine level of care they have for all animals. We, as a county, are lucky to have those particular animal control officers working for us. I’d also like to sincerely thank the Orphaned Wildlife Rescue Center and Dr. Ron Wexler of Lusby for taking in the opossum that got stuck in the trap and was severely injured. They agreed to help without question, and should receive all of our support for everything they do on a daily basis to help injured and orphaned wildlife. We sure didn’t expect to get wildlife involved in this, but that’s the way it went. The dog finally came close enough to Gary on his porch that we were able to recover her, unharmed and safe after almost three days of nonstop efforts. Thank you to everyone who helped resolve this emotionally draining situation! I’ve never met nicer people.
Where Are the Schools?
Calvert County ranks seventh in Maryland in its local funding per pupil: ($7,150) following Worcester ($12,046), Montgomery ($9,817), Howard ($9,626), Kent ($8,637), Talbot ($8,181), and Anne Arundel ($7,814). Caroline County funds the least at $2,563. Our funding is in the top third of the state. Student enrollment in our county was 11,000 in 1990; up to 17,015 in 2006, but now declined to 15,594 in 2014 (last seen in 2000), with continual declining projected for ten more years (2025). In the 1990’s increasing student enrollment meant our county was essentially building a new school every year (1995, Patuxent High; 1996, Windy Hill Elementary; 1997, St. Leonard Elementary/Southern Middle School addition; 1998, Windy Hill Middle; 1999, Dowell Elementary; and 2000, Mill Creek Middle). In 2005, Huntingtown High and in 2008, Barstow Elementary were constructed and new Calvert Middle opened in 2011. When the current student population level existed in early 2000’s, (and then projected to continue increasing) a high school, middle school, and an elementary school were added to the inventory. Since then, our student population returned to the year 2000 levels continuing to decrease. Instead of decreasing, if the student enrollment numbers were increasing, the conversation would be about building new schools; yet, where is the conversation about decreasing enrollments? The Board of Education (BOE) and Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) are two separately elected boards each with their own area of responsibility. The BOE and BOCC work together and both dialogue with the public. The public conversation is the most important aspect of this relationship. The BOE advocates for the school system for education similarly to the Sheriff’s Of-

fice for law enforcement. The BOCC ensures the maximum service from each while taking as little money as possible out of the citizens’ pocket. Yet, more than simply requesting money from the BOCC, the BOE performs an important role in building their budget, now constrained by a non-recovering U.S. Economy; and even more so challenged now by declining student enrollment. Should the BOE look at future enrollment declines and strategically determine a new way forward? Private businesses rethink their approach due to a declining customer base. BOE should re-look their approach, goals, methodology, and seek new ways to ensure our students receive the best education. It’s not always about the money. While our teachers and support staff are not compensated enough for their contributions, everyone should step back and relook at the new economic realities. Declining enrollment could mean consolidating schools and redistricting (a role solely the responsibility of the BOE). As a commissioner, advocating such is not my role, but instead to identify the trending data and ask questions. It is the role of citizens to also dialogue with the BOE pertaining to the BOE’s vision and plans to address the declining enrollment. On this important topic, where are the schools?

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the citizens of the Breezy Point community, especially Gary and Pam Buschling, and Animal Control Officers Amy Howard, Fred Sheckles and Christie Montgomery and the Orphaned Wildlife Rescue Center of Lusby for the outstanding efforts they put forth to recover a lost dog or assist in the aftermath. A former student of mine had adopted the dog about a week prior to the escape. After pushing open the front door of the house, the dog ran almost a mile away to the Breezy Point Estates and was taking up house in Gary and Pam’s yard. We tried unsuccessfully for two days to recover the dog, who would dart away if we got too close. The entire community was helping us to recover the dog. It started with a community email so that everyone understood the situation. Every single home I stopped at to ask if they had seen the dog, was friendly and helpful. One family, whose name I did not get, even packed their kids in the car and was driving around helping us to search. I couldn’t have picked a better community for this dog to get lost in. Gary and his wife saw the dog in their yard and called me right away. The Buschlings graciously did whatever we needed them to do. They offered their support in many ways including allowing animal control to set up a trap and being willing to check the trap every so often. Gary and Pam expressed their love of dogs to us and never made us feel like we were a burden. Gary would keep in touch with me by phone all throughout the day and night when I wasn’t

He was transported to the hospital for his minor injuries and later incarcerated in the Calvert County Detention Center. Burglary: On 7/9/15 at 3:26 pm, Trooper Megelick received a complaint of a reported burglary to a residence in the 500 block of Sonoma Lane in Prince Frederick. Catherine G. Pryzmont, 60, and Brett W. Pryzmont, 29, both of North Babylon, NY, were identified as possible suspects. The Pryzmonts were advised by the homeowner they were not to be in the house. Application for charges of 4th degree burglary are pending. Telephone Misuse: On 7/11/15 at 5:26 pm, Trooper Kaitz received a complaint for telephone misuse. Investigation revealed the victim was receiving harassing text messages. Many of the text messages were of a sexual nature. A suspect
has been developed and the investigation continues. Disorderly Conduct: On 7/12/15 at 12:06 am, Trooper First Class Oles responded to the 12000 block of Rousby Hall Rd. in Lusby for a report of a fight in progress. Kevin V. Scott, 41 of Solomons, was identified as the instigator of the argument. He was extremely intoxicated and became disorderly upon TFC Oles arrival shouting out obscenities to other patrons. He was arrested and incarcerated at the Calvert County Detention Center. Fatal Crash: On July 13, 2015 at approximately 12:12 AM, Cpl. West was responding to the Prince Frederick Barrack to conduct a DRE evaluation. Prior to his arrival he encountered two motorcycles in the roadway in the area of Plum Point Middle School, on Plum Point Road in Huntingtown. Kyle Brandon Neri, the operator of a 2011 Black Suzuki motorcycle failed to negotiate a curve and was ejected from his motorcycle. Neri was flown from the scene by Medstar to Washington Hospital Center where he succumbed to his injuries. Alcohol was a factor in the crash. Tpr. J. Warrick and TFC Buckalew are investigating the crash. The operator of the second motorcycle, Kevin Smith, stopped to assist Neri.
Armed Robbery Suspects Apprehended On July 6, at approximately 2:49 a.m., an armed robbery occurred at the 7-Eleven Convenience store located at 3588 Old Town Road in Huntingtown. During the robbery a male suspect entered the store and brandished a black handgun and demanded money. The male suspect fled to a dark colored SUV or truck and left the scene. The male suspect was described as a thin white male. He was described to wear a black hooded sweatshirt with the hood over his head and black and white bandana covering his face. Further he was wearing black gloves, blue jeans and black shoes. The gun was described as a black handgun. On July 9, at approximately 4 a.m., an armed robbery occurred at the 7-Eleven store, 13974 HG Trueman Road, Solomons in Md. An unknown white male subject entered the store wearing a black hooded jacket, black gloves, blue jeans, and black boots with a white/black mask covering his face. This suspect was armed with a black semi-automatic handgun. The suspect encountered the

Garner
only store employee towards the rear of the store and demanded money. The store employee complied and the suspect made way with US Currency. After reviewing the video footage, it was believed that the same suspect committed both robberies. Based on the timeframes of the two robberies occurring, it was very probable there would be a third similar robbery in the near future. At the direction of Sheriff Mike Evans, the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigative Bureau put together an operation to conduct surveillance on all of the convenience stores in Calvert County.
During the week of July 6 through July 12, deputies of the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office responded to 1,277 calls for service throughout the community. Citizens with information on the following crimes or any criminal activity in Calvert County who wish to report it anonymously can now access the Calvert County Crime

Wilson that on July 11 at about 10:00 p.m. while his vehicle was parked at the gas pumps at the 7-11 convenience store on Dalrymple Road in Sunderland, he went into the store. When he returned to his vehicle, he noticed that his black Apple iPhone 5s had been stolen from his unlocked truck. The investigation continues.
Personnel from within the Sheriff’s Office as well as from the Southern Maryland Information Center (SMIC) joined forces to conduct the operation which began on July 10 at midnight. During the early morning hours of July 10, Detective Cameron of the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office and Detective Simonds of the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office (both assigned to SMIC) were conducting surveillance on the Lusby and St. Leonard Fast Stop convenience stores. While conducting a check of the St. Leonard Fastop, detectives encountered a suspicious vehicle matching the description of the vehicle used in the first two robberies. The detectives set up surveillance in the area and observed the vehicle as it continued to engage in suspicious activity. The detectives called for marked Sheriff’s Office units to respond to the area to assist. The on
scene detectives requested the marked units conduct a traffic stop on the Dodge Dakota 4 door truck bearing Maryland registration 9AK8162. When units stopped the truck it was being operated by Bethani Yvonne Wood and Steven E. Garner. During the traffic stop several pieces of evidence were recovered to link the vehicle and its occupants to the previous 7-11 robberies. Both Wood and Garner were arrested and transported to the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office for questioning. Wood and Garner were charged accordingly and were transported to the Calvert County Detention Center to await their hearings before a District Court Commissioner. Submitted by Capt. Todd M. Ireland, Calvert County Sheriff’s Office

Habitat for Humanity Fundraiser Takes to Land and Sea By Sarah Miller Staff Writer From land to water, the Patuxent Habitat for Humanity is gearing up for the third annual Warrior Fun Run and Sail. The event is a 5K run in the morning and a regatta in the afternoon, according to Patuxent Habitat for Humanity representative Trich Trapp. The Warrior Fun Run is scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 22. This year’s 5K will be a timed run, so serious runners will be able to use it as a practice for additional races later in the year. The Southern Maryland Sailing Association (SMSA) is working with Patuxent Habitat for Humanity to host the regatta. Additionally, SMSA will host the captain’s meeting the night before the event and open for packet pickup the day of the fun run and sail. “They’ve been really supportive,” Trapp said. SMSA members Cindy and Gary Lohman have taken the lead in organizing the regatta. The Lohmans are a gold star family. Their son, United States Army SGT Ryan

Baumann was killed in action on Aug. 1, 2008. During the first annual Warrior Fun Run and Sail, fellow SMSA member Spence Waite encouraged Gary and Cindy to get involved. The regatta will be held in the Chesapeake Bay or in the Patuxent River, depending on wind conditions. During the first two years, the race was set up like a formal SMSA race. This year’s race will be simplified to make it easier on any sailor who brings their boat out, Gary said. All proceeds from the fundraiser will go toward Veteran Critical Home Repairs. The Patuxent Habitat for Humanity began its first Veteran Critical Home Repairs in 2012 using a grant from Home Depot. Since the grant ran out, the Patuxent Habitat for Humanity has been raising money to continue the program and offer assistance to local veterans. Repairs can range from building a ramp to a variety of internal and external renovations. One veteran was rendered a quadriplegic in a skydiving accident, and Habitat for Humanity volunteers gutted and redesigned his home to allow him to continue to live independently.

Not all projects are so drastic, Trapp said. Veterans or their families are welcome to submit potential projects to the Patuxent Habitat for Humanity for consideration at any time during the year, and if their initial application is accepted a representative will visit the veteran’s home to determine whether the project is in the scope of what Habitat for Humanity can do. “This does a world of good,” Cindy said. “Even the smallest project can make a lot of difference.” The 5K begins at 8 a.m., followed by a boat parade at 10 a.m. Any boat is welcome to join the parade, Trapp said, but the regatta, which is scheduled to begin at 11 a.m., is open to sail boats only. During the fundraiser, there will be a memorial wall for veterans served by Habitat
for Humanity. Runners and sailors are encouraged to bring pictures of their loved ones to display on the wall, Cindy said. Participants in the boat parade should decorate their boat in red, white and blue in keeping with the theme of the Warrior Fun Run and Sail, Cindy said. Anyone wanting to participate in the regatta but doesn’t have a boat should contact the Lohmans. Register by Aug. 7 to guarantee your t-shirt. Beginning Aug. 8, all fees will increase by $5 and t-shirts may or may not be available race day. Registration forms are available at www.patuxenthabitat.org and www.smsa.com.

Citizen Advisory Committee Makes Recommendations on Student Health, the Achievement Gap, and Transportation By Sarah Miller Staff Writer The Calvert County Public Schools Citizen Advisory Committee (CCPS CAC) presented their findings for the past year’s study into challenges facing county schools. The CAC is a group of community representatives and students from each of the four high school districts that studies various areas of concern in CCPS, as directed by the Board of Education (BOE). The topics the CAC studied this year were nutrition and wellness, closing the achievement gap, and the viability of activity busses for CCPS students. The CAC divided into sub-committees to study each topic, said CAC chairwoman Terese Wells during the presentation to the BOE. The subcommittee in charge of studying nutrition and wellness reviewed existing policy and procedures and recommended CCPS “use draft Nutrition Wellness policy and procedures as the basis for a review, within established CCPS guidelines for reviewing Policy and Procedures.” The sub-committee studying the achievement gap recommended CCPS look further into what motivates and influences students to take honors and AP classes and how that varies by demographic, identify best practices for use by teachers and parents to support and encourage students to pursue honors and AP level courses, and determine the effect of the selection process of various schools on students pursuing honors and AP classes. On the topic of activity busses to transport students home from after school activities, sub-committee members found there is interest among students in such busses, but the proposal
is cost prohibitive. The committee recommended CPS select a pilot school to determine how much an activity bus would be used and look for a grant to help offset the cost of implementing activity busses on a larger scale.

Joint Press Release of the Board of Education of Calvert County Public Schools and the Calvert Education Association The Board of Education of Calvert County Public Schools and the Calvert Education Association (CEA) have reached a tentative negotiated agreement for the 2015-2016 school year. The new agreement includes language regarding evaluation, transfers, tuition reimbursement, teacher work time, acquired hours and compensation. No salary or step increases were included in the tentative agreement. The parties agreed, however, that further
negotiations may occur if additional unrestricted operating funds—in excess of those necessary to support programs and services deemed by the Superintendent as essential to the operation of the system, as well as those funds necessary to eliminate the currently projected deficit—become available to the school system from state or county funding sources during FY16. CEA and the Board must now ratify the tentative agreement.

Historic Heroes By Emily Charles Contributing Writer The history of the United States is built on the efforts of all types of heroes, be they soldiers, inventors or civil rights workers. At Calvert Library Prince Frederick Branch, a weekly event, Star Spangled Heroes, offers children the chance to learn all about it, teaching them that there are many types of heroes. This is the first year the library has put on the event, which was created to compliment the theme of the library’s summer reading program. “This is our first year of doing this event. We just decided to do it around our theme this year for summer reading, which is, ‘Every hero has a story,’ so it lends itself well to that,” Youth Services Coordinator Beverly Izzi said. The weekly gathering is geared toward children third grade and up, particularly targeting older elementary
school students, Izzi said. Through Star Spangled Heroes, participating children will learn about heroes of history from various professions. “They’re going to learn a little bit about different heroes, U.S. heroes, from legendary heroes like Paul Bunyan to adventure heroes to inventors and civil rights heroes,” Izzi said. The event runs every Tuesday this July, and every week features a different theme. The upcoming lesson on July 21, will address Inventive Heroes. The lesson previously planned for July 7, Legendary Heroes, will now be offered on Aug. 4, after being canceled in the beginning of the month due to a water main break in the library, Izzi said. If your child is interested all types of heroes, be sure to look into this library event. For more information about Star Spangled Heroes, call 410-535-0291 or visit www.calvertlibrary.info. contributing@countytimes.net
Calvert Schools Partner Students with Mentorship Opportunities By Sarah Miller Staff Writer Calvert County Public Schools is looking for opportunities to give students real world experience in the workplace. Working with mentors and internships can be instrumental in helping students decide what careers they are most interested in, said Career and Technology Academy Mentorship Coordinator Susan Cross. Students who come into the program have to meet certain criteria, including having taken two honors courses or advanced placement (AP) courses, Cross said. She accepts approximately 40 students into the mentorship program every year Before they are matched with a mentor, students meet with Cross and discuss their goals for the future, including college and career goals. She goes into the community to find just the right placements for them, and checks up with students and mentors to make sure
everything is working out. Students have to spend a minimum of 30 to 50 hours with their mentors. Cross tries to ensure students will have something to take out of the experience, be it projects to use in a portfolio or connections in the professional community they can use in the future. Cross has gotten students interested in broadcast journalism placed with Star 93.7 and is searching for an opportunity for a student interested in working with individuals with developmental disabilities. In addition to getting them experience that will look good on college applications and in future opportunities, the mentorship program has helped students find out what is not for them before paying thousands of dollars at college, Cross said.

Hogan Administration Kicks Off YouthWorks Summer Internship Program Lt. Governor Boyd Rutherford was joined today by Maryland State Department of Education Superintendent Dr. Lillian Lowery, Department of General Services Secretary Gil Bassette, and Department of Human Resources Secretary (DHR) Sam Malhotra to officially kick off the YouthWorks Summer Internship Program with a welcoming ceremony. Student participants, who started their internships on June 29, will participate in a five-week summer jobs program. In June, Governor Larry Hogan announced $3.13 million in state funding to provide approximately 8,100 Baltimore City youth residents with summer job opportunities and work experience. Allocated to the Youth Works and Hire One Youth programs through the Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation (DLLR), funds were provided through a combination of a DHR and DLLR grant administered to Baltimore City for youth job opportunity programs. Funding was already provided in the state budget, and
private funding was secured by state and city officials. “This is a great opportunity to provide our young people with summer jobs and set the foundation for them to become productive members of Maryland’s workforce,” said Lt. Governor Rutherford. “I commend the YouthWorks program, as well as the participating state agencies, for providing our youth with real work environments that will impact their lives for years to come.” The program, whose slogan is “Summer Jobs Launch Careers,” runs until July 31 and gives Baltimore City young people between the ages 14 and 21 opportunities to work with mentors who will help them develop positive work habits and attitudes, as well as learn skills related to and job requirements, career development, and financial literacy. Currently, DGS has 23 YouthWorks interns who have been placed in various divisions within the agency; MSDE has 24 at its Baltimore City headquarters, and DHR has 17.
“We are so excited about having these students at DGS for five weeks,” Secretary Bassette said. “We’re going to make it a worthwhile experience that they can look back on and say it made a positive difference. Maybe five or ten years from now, one of these students will return as a DGS employee.” “This is a wonderful opportunity not only to expose these teens and young adults to potential career pathways, but also to help them develop the important ‘soft’ skills they’ll need to succeed in the future, such as working in teams, completing assigned projects, and developing a strong work ethic,” said Dr. Lowery. Secretary Malhotra said of the program, “Summer jobs can launch careers, and that’s what we hope happens here. But more than that, this real-world experience will give each DHR intern an advantage, not only when they interview for jobs or work in a professional environment, but in everyday life as an adult.”
From my Backyard to our Bay A St. Mary’s County Resident’s Guide to Improving Our Environment and Drinking Water

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

Gallery Talk with Heroes & Villains Artist, Julie Dzikiewicz Annmarie Sculpture Garden & Arts Center in Solomons, Maryland, is hosting a Gallery Talk on July 19th from 1 - 2:30 p.m. Admission is Free. Come enjoy one of our monthly gallery talks. Reservations not required and admission to the talk will be free. This month’s talk is entitled, From Workhouse to Wifi: New art for a new age of women’s rights. Artist Julia Dzikiewicz will discuss a short history of women’s civil disobedience, from the era of the Suffragettes to the modern day. She will also elaborate on how to create a politically meaningful piece of art in the difficult medium of encaustic, also known as hot wax painting. A touch table will be available to handle sample encaustic work while the artist demonstrates some basic en-
caustic techniques. Encaustic is a Greek word meaning “to heat or burn in” (enkaustikos). Heat is used throughout the process, from melting the beeswax and varnish to fusing the layers of wax. Encaustic consists of natural bees wax and dammar resin (crystallized tree sap). The medium can be used pigmented or alone for its transparency and adhesive qualities. Pigments may be added to the medium, or purchased already colored with traditional pigments. The medium is melted and applied with a brush or any tool. Each layer is then reheated to fuse it to the previous layer. Press Release

“I think maybe all this will sink in tomorrow.” Were the words from David Williams after he collected his third win of the season in last Friday nights 20-lap Limited Late Model feature at Potomac speedway. The win for Williams, aboard his Sommey and Ruth Ann Lacey owned Rocket no.45, was his milestone 100th overall feature win in a career that’s spanned nearly three decades. Brandon Long and Billy Tucker shared the front row for the start with Tucker surging into the race lead as the field zipped down the backstretch. As Tucker lead, fourth-starting David Williams tucked into second and went after Tucker. Williams snared the lead from Tucker on the eleventh circuit, however, the race was far from over. Tenth starting Daryl Hills was coming in a hurry and applied relentless pressure to Williams over the final nine laps but would have to settle for runner-up money as Williams repelled the challenges to post the win. “I knew Daryl was there.” Williams stated. “He’s got a fast race car and I knew he started pretty far back, so I knew I couldn’t make any mistakes.” The ever humble Williams was very proud to get his 100th win for his current car owners. “This win tonight is about all the people who’ve helped me over the years.” Quipped Williams. “Sommey, Ruth Ann and all the people who put this deal together are the ones who deserve all the credit. I’m really happy to get this win in their car, at out home track.” Tucker settled for third, Brandon Long took fourth with defending track champion Tyler Emory rounding out the top-five. Heats went to Williams and Tucker. Mike Latham drove to his third win of the season in the 16-lap Street Stock main. Latham, who lined up fourth for the start, took the top spot on lap one and would lead the distance to post his 40th career division feature win. Barry Williams took
second, 11th starting Mike Franklin was third, with Scotty Nelson and Mike Raleigh completing the top-five. Heats went to Williams and Latham. In other action, defending track champion Jonathan Raley scored his third win of the season and career 16th in the 15-lap Hobby Stock feature, Ed Pope Sr. also became a 16-time Potomac winner with his third win of 2015 in the 25-lap Strictly stock main with Mikey Latham posting win number two of the season in the 15lap U-Car feature.

“A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum”

Friday, July 17
Set in the Roman era, “A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum,” tells the story of a cunning slave named Pseudolus who is trying to gain his freedom by helping his master, Hero, woo a young, beautiful courtesan. To the tune of a live orchestra, the stage takes on choreography and musical numbers, some innuendos and not-so-innuendos and humor from start to finish. “It is a silly comedy in the vain of Laurel and Hardy or The Three Stooges,” said actor Zeke Poiro who plays Pseudolus. “It is full of innuendo and antics, and acrobatics and fun.” According to Music Theatre International, “A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum” opened on Broadway in 1962 and was written by both Burt Shevelove and Larry Gelbart. The musical numbers were written and composed by Stephen Sondheim and the musical itself was inspired by the Roman playwright Plautus. It won several Tony Awards, including Best Musical and Best Author (Musical). Since its debut, it has been adapted to the screen and has been performed in a variety of countries. The Newtowne Players have been working since April to prepare for their opening performance that premiered Friday, July 10. Their production brings new talent to the stage and casts bigger roles for upcoming stars, such as Poiro. “This is his first starring role, probably the biggest role we’ve seen him in and we’ve always known he was talented,” said Director Michelle Ebert Freire. “But in this particular role I think audiences are just going to delight in discovering this guy…I just can’t give him enough praise.” On stage, the actors are surrounded by realistic, detailed sets decorated by Linda San-
born and dressed in eye-catching costumes designed by Joanne Fuesel. “We have a very good production value for being a small theatre,” said Poiro. “…When you think community theatre you don’t think high production value, good costumes, good props. We have all that and it makes the show a lot better.” Throughout the two acts, audiences will follow the story as it twists and turns through potions, disguises, a master in a tub, a house full of courtesans, a virgin on a roof and interactions with the actors themselves. It is sure to entertain. “There is so much rich, actual culture here now,” said actor J.R. Cook who plays Hysterium. “People should go out and see it.” “It’s just a good night out to have fun and laugh,” said Freire. “A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum” runs a total of four weeks from July 10 to Aug. 2, varying in weekday and matinee showings, according to the theatre troupe’s website www.newtowneplayers.org. Tickets range from $13 to $18 and are available online or by phone at 301-7375447. Tickets can be reserved up to 90 minutes prior to the performance. Before taking a seat or during intermission, attendees can also enjoy a small art show displaying original works from eight of the 30 artists from the Color and Light Society. According to their brochure, they are a society of visual artists from the tri-county area with talents ranging from oil to photography and watercolor to woodworking. The musical and the art show will be presented at the Three Notch Theatre located 21744 South Coral Dr. in Lexington Park.

Annmarie Sculpture Garden & Arts Center, 13480 Dowell Road, Solomons- 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. This exhibit explores the mysteries of the universe, both scientific and fantastical, theoretical and fictional, real and imagined.

From the results of scientific inquiry to the creative minds of science fiction authors and fans, this exhibit celebrates how space has stimulated human understanding and creativity. From the big bang theory to worm holes and warp speed, artists have created works that bring to life what we know of space and what we imagine. Assembled here is a vibrant and diverse selection of works that speak to our fascination with the cosmos. It runs from February 13, 10 a.m. to July 26, 5 p.m. For more information, call 410-326-4640 or visit annmariegarden.org.
