Harriet Elizabeth Brown Commemoration Taskforce Gets to Work By Sarah Miller Staff Writer
sarahmiller@countytimes.net
Citizens Cautioned to be Aware of Hazardous Tidal Currents
Following the recent, tragic drownings in the Chesapeake Bay off of Cove Point, citizens are cautioned to be aware of hazardous conditions caused by tidal currents reacting to certain geological formations. “We are deeply saddened by recent drownings off of Cove Point,” said Steve Weems, president of the Calvert County Board of County Commissioners. ”Our thoughts and prayers remain with the families who have been impacted. In an effort to educate swimmers, we are in the process of posting signs at Cove Point Beach alerting swimmers to potential dangers of swimming in open water. We encourage everyone swimming in open waters to make sure to take all necessary precautions to avoid injury.” Citizens are asked to review the following safety information regarding rip currents:
The Harriet Elizabeth Brown Commemoration Taskforce had their first meeting on July 27 to discuss the best way to remember local civil rights hero Harriet Elizabeth Brown. Harriet Elizabeth Brown was an African-American teacher in Calvert County who, in 1937, successfully sued the county for pay equal to white teachers in the county with equivalent credentials. The taskforce was formed during the 2015 legislative session to “find a way to recognize Ms. Brown’s important historical role from the state level,” according to documents provided
by taskforce chair Margaret Dunkle. The taskforce includes representatives from the Commission for Women, the BOCC, local senators and delegates, the NAACP, the Calvert Historical Society and more. “It’s a high powered task force to look at the legacy of Harriet Elizabeth Brown and commemorate her for future generations,” Dunkle said, adding that it’s important to memorialize pioneers who fought to ensure the next generation is treated fairly. The next meeting will be on Aug. 10 from 2 to 4 p.m. at the College of Maryland Prince Fredrick campus in the Building B conference room.

• Stay at least 100 feet away from piers and jetties; permanent rip currents often exist near these structures. • If you are caught in a rip current, stay calm and do not fight the current. • Swim parallel to the shore until you are out of the current. • Once you are free, turn and swim toward shore. • If you can't swim to the shore, float or tread water until you are free of the rip current and
then head toward shore. • If you can’t make it to the shore, draw attention to yourself by waving and calling for help. • If someone is in trouble in the water, get help from a lifeguard. If a lifeguard is not available, call 911. Throw the victim something that floats – a lifejacket, cooler, inflatable ball -- and yell instructions on how to escape the current. • Always check conditions before entering the water to make sure you know of any potential hazards. Do not swim or wade in an area where conditions exist that amplify tidal currents, such as narrow points where water depths can be extreme and little if any warning exists identifying the change in water depth or the current.

SELLING A CAR? LOOKING FOR A BABYSITTER?
Rights and Responsibilities
RENTING OUT AN APARTMENT?
Americans popularly speak about various Rights as though those Rights are ordained as indivisible and without consequence; that they exist in a vacuum independent of other forces. Each of these Rights, as surely as a coin has two sides, have an accompanying Responsibility. Right to vote brings the Responsibility to study candidates and issues to make an informed vote. Freedom from slavery and involuntary servitude requires the individual to educate oneself and seek improvement, work, prosper, overcome obstacles, and care for others. One’s Right to remain silent brings with it the Responsibility to speak truthfully. Ownership of property carries the Responsibility to properly maintain and repair that property. When executing the Right to “petition the Government for a redress of grievances,” one’s Responsibility requires providing sound and truthful evidence. The Right of “people peacefully to assemble” means one has the Responsibility to respect the rights of the opposition to also peacefully assemble. We are all “created equal,” but individual Responsibility determines if we excel or not. Our Right to the “pursuit of happiness” can only be assured through our Responsibility to seek wisdom and purity as our founders intended.

The Right “to alter or to abolish” one form of government and “to institute new Government,” but there is a Responsibility to make changes through peaceable means and to be very careful when organizing the various powers such as our founders did with their system of checks and balances. We have the Right to “bear arms” and when doing so must ensure the use of weapons is done judiciously. Our Right to the free exercise of religion brings a Responsibility to provide faithful worship. Our Right to life brings the profound Responsibility to protect life, especially the most vulnerable among us, the unborn. For brevity, there were additional Rights identified within the Declaration of Independence and US Constitution to include being secure in one’s person, house, papers, effects, and protection against unreasonable searches. Several dwelt upon due process of law, speedy trial and punishments. Regardless, one can easily identify that each of these Rights brings with it at least one Responsibility.

Dirt Bike Crash in Prince Frederick
On July 29, at approximately 12:46 p.m., members of the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office Patrol Bureau and the Crash Reconstruction Team responded to the area of Sheridan Point Road and Fig Point Road in Prince Frederick for the report of a serious crash involving a dirt bike. Preliminary investigation revealed a 1999 Yamaha YZ125 dirt bike was traveling along Sheridan Point Road prior to Fig Point Road. The dirt bike was traveling southwest along the solid double yellow centerline when the operator began to lose control. The motorcycle traveled off the roadway, crossed a gravel driveway and struck a Crepe Myrtle tree. The operator and the motorcycle veered off the tree and struck a metal sign support post causing the operator to be ejected. The operator struck his head on the sign support post. The operator and the motorcycle came to rest at the base of the metal sign support post. The dirt bike was being operated by Cory
Jermaine Mackall, a 27-year-old male of Prince Frederick, Maryland. He was not wearing a helmet at the time of the crash. The evidence on scene and witness statements suggests that Mackall had been consuming alcohol prior to the crash. Mackall was transported to the University Medical Center in Baltimore by Maryland State Police Trooper 7 and is listed in critical but stable condition. At this time alcohol, speed, and driver error are factors that contributed to the crash. The Crash Reconstruction Team is investigating the events that led up to the crash. Anyone with additional information regarding the crash is asked to contact Dfc. J. Hardesty of the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office Crash Reconstruction Team at 410535-2800 or via email at hardesje@co.cal. and add the facebook icon md.us. Submitted by Calvert County Sheriff’s Office

SoMd CAN Rolls Out Two Initiatives for the Upcoming School Year By Sarah Miller Staff Writer The Southern Maryland College Access Network (SoMd CAN) is launching two new initiatives during the 2015-2016 school year. According to SoMd CAN Executive Director Sonia Wagner, the organization’s board of directors found two age groups were underserved – elementary students and students in their first two years of high school. SoMd CAN Pre-college Advisor Michelle Kidwell suggested a curriculum that will target high school freshmen and sophomores to bridge between the SoMd CAN opportunities for juniors and seniors, including the Calvert Local Scholarship Application, and the You CAN early awareness program for eighth grade students. The early high school initiative, We CAN, will be implemented in this year. SoMd CAN is looking for volunteers willing to learn the curriculum and go talk to students once per month. Wagner anticipated 200 students to participate across the county this year. The second initiative to be implemented this year will be I CAN, a program that will involve the Calvert County Parent Teacher Association and school based Parent Teacher Organizations in an effort to organize parent workshops and give information on the cost of college and how parents can prepare early to fund their child’s continuing education. SoMd CAN’s goal is to ensure that students of all ages and their parents understand that college is a possibility and funding it is not an insurmountable obstacle, Wagner said.

Children’s Aid, Inc. Collecting School Supplies for Local Children By Sarah Miller Staff Writer “Although recently ranked as one of the wealthiest counties in the nation, roughly 23 percent of Calvert County’s public school students qualified for the free or reduced lunch program last school year. In five districts, 38 percent or more of the school’s students qualify for free or reduced lunch. Although these percentages are lower than our neighboring counties, I think many county residents would be surprised to learn these statistics.” said Children’s Aid, Inc. Executive Director Krista Brezina. Children’s Aid, Inc.’s Operation Backpack provides Calvert County children in need with a backpack filled with new school supplies and a new, age-appropriate book. The biggest needs right now are for composition books, pencils, 24 count packs of Crayola crayons, and glue sticks. All donations should be new and unopened, Brezina said. To date, 418 Calvert County students
have received school supplies through the Operation Backpack Program. This year, more than 175 local children will receive school supplies they need to succeed in the new school year. So far, there are 101 elementary school, 38 middle school, and 34 high school students registered to receive supplies and Brezina anticipated the numbers will rise by the beginning of the school year. School supply donations with be accepted through Aug. 14, at the Office Depot in Prince Frederick and World Gym locations in Lusby, Owings and Prince Frederick. Volunteers are needed for backpack packing and distribution on Saturday, Aug. 22, Brezina said.

Southern Maryland Youth Orchestra & Choir Selects Angelica Brooks as Director of the Southern Maryland Youth Choir
The Southern Maryland Youth Orchestra & Choir (SMYOC) is pleased to announce the selection of Angelica Brooks as its new SMYOC Youth Choir Director. With a passion for making music and developing young voices for ensemble singing, Mrs. Brooks’ diligence and skill are manifest in the level of excellence and artistry her choirs regularly achieve. A native of Washington, DC, Mrs. Brooks started singing in a city church where her father was the church musician. She completed an undergraduate degree in Vocal Performance at Bowie State University and a Masters of Music in Vocal Pedagogy at The Catholic University of America. During her career as a choral director, she has been nominated Prince George’s County Public Schools (PGCPS) Teacher of the Year, and she currently serves as the PGCPS Elementary Honors Chorus Director. She is also a quarterfinalist for the 2016 Grammy Music Educator of the Year award. Mrs. Brooks is the Director of the Fearless Falcon Middle School Choral Ensemble at Benjamin D. Foulois Creative and Performing Arts Academy. Under her direction, the choir has attained all 1’s at the PGCPS Choral Festival and a Superior rating at the MMEA State Choral Festival for the past 2 years. The choir also received a Superior rating and won best overall Middle School Choir at the “Music in the Parks” choral competition. Mrs. Brooks is very eager to share the gift of music with talented singers in Southern Maryland. The Southern Maryland Youth Choir began in 2014 and completed two successful concert seasons last year. Starting this fall under Mrs. Brooks’ direction, the SMYOC Youth Choir will expand to a two-tiered program to include advanced high school students as well as continuing its offering for younger singers. Mrs. Brooks’ staff will include an assistant conductor, who will work primarily with the junior choir, and a professional piano accompanist. The upper level choir is being developed for a select group of very experienced singers aged 13-18 who will meet weekly for 2-hour rehearsals on Monday evenings and will perform a wide repertoire – including pop acapella, modern, world music, and classics - in multiple concerts and special events throughout the year. The junior choir Treblemakers is for singers aged 8-12 and will rehearse for 1-hour-and 45 minutes on Mondays
in the late afternoons. Tuition is charged for participation in the SMYOC in order to cover a percentage of the cost of the director’s salary, music and rehearsal space. Financial aid is available. Please visit the website at smyoc.org for further details. Julia Nichols, founder and president of SMYOC, says of the Youth Choir, “I am excited to expand the musical opportunities for the talented youth in this area. I believe that participating with like-minded peers in an immersive music group provides an influential and enjoyable experience unlike any other.” Susan Bisson Lambert of Park Hall, and Secretary of SMYOC, was integral in the formation of the SMYOC Youth Choir. She believes strongly in the transformative power of music-making and feels there are “few activities that confer as many benefits into adulthood as ensemble music, where instrumentalists/ singers must apply individual talent toward collective excellence, acquiring skill and discipline as they learn to work together and develop artistically as a group. Like being part of a competitive team sport and other goal-oriented group endeavors, each participant experiences benefits far beyond that of acquiring a specific set of skills.” SMYOC Youth Choir auditions will be held August 24 (for the advanced choir) and August 31 (for the junior choir) in Leonardtown. Interested singers should visit smyoc.org for critical details about the programs and to fill out an audition form. About SMYOC The Southern Maryland Youth Orchestra & Choir exists to nurture, develop and advance young, talented musicians in quality orchestral and choral programs. Both the SMYOC Youth Orchestra and the SMYOC Youth Choir serve students in St. Mary’s, Calvert and Charles counties. The Youth Orchestra is a full orchestra open to any young musician entering grades 6-12 with at least one year of musical study. Younger musicians who can play at Level 4 may audition and, at the discretion of the Director, may be accepted. Nontraditional orchestral instruments may be included. The Youth Choir is a twotiered choir for auditioned singers ages 8-18. The SMYOC is working together with Maryland musicians, educators and organizations to expand the musical opportunities available in our community.

Patuxent Habitat for Humanity and Christmas in April Calvert County Partner Again to Help a Veteran enthabitat.org. This year’s event will be held Aug. 22 on Solomons Island.
Christmas In April Calvert County Inc. is a United Way Member Agency, which helps disabled and elderly homeowners and families with children, who live in and own their house and cannot afford to pay for home repairs. Christmas in April works all year to repair dozens of houses on the last Saturday of April. Emergency repairs and follow-up work are done throughout the year. The Warrior Fun Run & Sail raises funds for Patuxent Habitat for Humanity’s Veteran Critical Home Repair program. In addition to the fun run/ walk and the sailing regatta, this year’s event adds an officially timed 5K run. The Chesapeake Bay Running Club is timing the race and Southern Maryland Sailing Association is once again producing the regatta. Live entertainment, refreshments, and food will be offered by Bear Creek BBQ. For more information or to donate and register to participate, please visit www.patux
Revenue raised through the Warrior Fun Run and Sail to support Patuxent Habitat for Humanity’s Veteran’s Critical Home Repair Program, has allowed us to construct a ramp for a deserving Navy veteran in Drum Point this coming weekend. William Quinn is a disabled Navy veteran; he is married and has one son. In 1982 while assigned to the CB’s both of his feet were crushed in an accident. Mr. Quinn says his goal in life is, “to be kind to everyone I meet.” He works as a substitute teacher in St. Mary’s County; he also has a family friendly YouTube channel: William Quinn. Mr. Quinn attends Our Lady Star of The Sea, Solomons where he is a Brother Knight with the Knights of Columbus. He has volunteered in the past with Christmas in April and his church to help other local families in need. It is his turn to get a helping hand. A new ramp and related improvements will enhance the quality of life for this veteran and his family. “Our goal in this project is serve a Veteran who has unselfishly served and defended our country, while promoting active volunteerism within our community,” said Steve Sanders of Christmas in April.

Community Kitchen To Open In Lusby The Maryland Food Bank tells us that “Hunger is an immense issue that affects us all and it will take all of us, in a full-scale social movement, to end hunger.” The Lusby Charge (Eastern and St. John United Methodist Churches) and Solomons United Methodist Church have linked love and resources in an effort to help feed the hungry in southern Calvert County. Beginning Thursday, Aug. 11, this collaboration will operate the “More Tasty Blessings” Community Kitchen, which will provide complimentary meals for all in the community on Tuesday and Thursday nights from 6-8 p.m. at East-John Youth Center, 11835 Mill Bridge Road, Lusby, Md. Based on information from End Hunger in Calvert County, nearly 1 in 8 people experience hunger, and for children, that figure increases to 1 in 5. The complimentary community kitchen is just one step toward alleviating the escalating hunger challenge in our community. “Our churches are excited to do all that we can to help feed the hungry in our communities,” said Rev. Marvin R. Wamble, pastor of the Lusby Charge. “It is truly our pleasure to be able to provide sit down meals twice a week for families and individuals. We believe that everyone should have access to a good meal; it’s good for the body and the soul.” The “More Tasty Blessings” Community Kitchen will feature healthy sit-down meals for everyone in the community. In the near future, this collaboration will also provide community resources, healthy cooking tips, and information to help their neighbors to live a healthier and more prosperous life.
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.

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

Chesapeake’s Bounty Soon to Open New Location in North Beach
By Crista Dockray Contributing Writer The popular Chesapeake’s Bounty is opening a new location in North Beach, approximately 25 minutes from their current location in St. Leonard. They are taking over the building that used to be the Good Hope Thrift Store on Bay Avenue. Although they do not have a set date for opening, they are moving as fast as they can and are trying to finish construction as soon as possible. Although it was not their original plan to open a second location, they felt it was right for the area. “We feel like there is a lot of access to local food in St. Mary’s County, there are a lot of people selling food on the side of the road and several farmer’s markets….we didn’t feel like this was happening in North Beach and talking with people who live up this way and people in the government, they also felt that this would be a great place for a second location for Chesapeake’s Bounty,” said owner William Kreamer. Chesapeake’s Bounty origins lay in Port Republic where, according to their website, the original location opened in 1994 by the late Greg Ciesielski and his daughter Marci Kreamer. The business flourished up until its closing in 2006. It reopened again a year later in 2007 thanks to the current owner and son/grandson of Kreamer and Ciesielski, William Kreamer. Not soon after, Chesapeake’s Bounty moved and opened their current location in St. Leonard in 2009. Chesapeake’s Bounty offers produce, meats, seafood, plants and flowers, dairy products, firewood, baked goods, seasonal décor, soaps, and more. They run seven days a week from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. and offer seasonal food at all times of the year. They try to offer specials everyday based on the local catch and harvest, which are announced via email, Facebook, or phone. The new location will be continuing the free educational programs they offer in St. Leonard’s, such as Gardening, Wild Foraging, Mushroom Cultivation, Natural Building, Healthy Eating, Plant Propagation, Primitive Skills, Hide Tanning, Per-

maculture, and much more. Although the new location does not feature an onsite farm, which offers many hands on activities, they are not prohibited by extreme weather conditions. In their indoor center at North Beach they can now offer classes in the winter, without the exposure to the elements. Kreamer hopes that people will travel in-between locations based on their needs and interests. Chesapeake’s Bounty in North Beach is a commercial property allowing them access to sewer and water. With this they will be able to prepare food, giving them the opportunity to open a mobile kitchen trailer out back in the parking lot for the community, something they were unable to do before. “Our food is going to be local, as it is in the store, right down to the ingredients. So you are not going to find a packet of premade ketchup, you are going to find our own homemade ketchup. If we are making fried pickles, they are going to be pickles that we made, that we also sell at the bounty, fried in local oil with local flour.” With around 30 different farmers and 30 different watermen, around 90% of everything sold in Chesapeake’s Bounty is locally produced or caught, with hopes to make the number even higher. They also work with several local food banks and many charitable causes and offer Community Work Days every Saturday where people can sign up and come work for food and find out more about agricultural topics. Their goal is to help grow the local economy right down to its roots and benefit the local community. “Metaphorically speaking, I really enjoy keeping my finger on the pulse of local agriculture and aquaculture,” said Kreamer. Chesapeake Bounty’s second location will be located at 9124 Bay Ave., in North Beach. To visit their location in St. Leonard go to 6415 Saint Leonard Rd., St. Leonard. For more information or to check for the upcoming grand opening of the North Beach location, call 410-586-3881 or visit their website at www.chesapeakesbounty.com. contributing@countytimes.net

Budds Creek, MDDefending track champion and current point leader Jason Covert drove to his third win of the season in last Friday nights 35-lap Late Model feature at Potomac Speedway. The win for Covert, worth $3000, was his 7th career win at the track and his first since May 24. Amanda Whaley and Dale Hollidge shared the front row for the start with Whaley assuming the race lead as the field stretched out off turn two. As Whaley lead, fourth starting Jason Covert tucked into second on lap-five and took up the chase. Whaley would lead until lap-ten when Covert blew by to become the new leader a lap later. Eventual runner-up Stevie Long tried to stay with Covert, but the final fourteen circuits went caution free and Covert would take the win by a wide margin. "We destroyed a car at Winchester a few weeks back and this is a brand new race car." Covert stated in victory lane. "It took the guy's about two-weeks to get this car together and its a nice piece, we're getting closer with it." The World of Outlaw's come to town in two weeks and Covert was experimenting with his set-up in preparation for the event. "We tried some things with the car to prepare for the Outlaw's." Said Covert. "I love racing with those guys, but they are the best for a reason, so we'll give it our best shot." Kenny Moreland took third with Kyle Lear and Kerry King Jr. rounding out the top-five. Heats went to Long and Hollidge. Current point leader Mike Franklin's dream season continued as he took his 9th win of the season in the 16-lap Street Stock feature. Franklin blasted from his second starting spot to grab the lead on lap-one and would lead the distance in the caution free event. Franklin's 22nd overall win of

Silenced Roar By Ronald N. Guy Jr. Contributing Writer This column is a guilt-ridden obligation. I’ve never written about outdoor sports, despite frequently hunting and fishing in Southern Maryland as a kid. My best childhood memories include catching crabs, hooking yellow perch in the McIntosh Run and hunting squirrels and deer in the fall. But awful circumstances have forced the subject upon me. As a human being and former hunter, I’m upset and outraged. I owe my outdoor experiences to two uncles who were, and still are, avid sportsmen. They do things the right way and ensured their apprentice would too. I took hunter safety courses and adhered to strict gun storage and handling protocol. My licenses were always current. All hunting was done in season. Bag limits were gospel. Game was clearly identified before taking a shot. No mammal, fish or crustacean was harvested against the rules – ever – and every kill was used. Nature and its species were to be respected. Taking animals from the wild wasn’t a right; it was a privilege. That was the Native American way. That’s how I was taught. That’s how it should always be. Most sportsmen share those values. That’s why most are disgusted by the recent death of a 13-year-old lion in Zimbabwe. His name was Cecil. He will roar no more. In life, Cecil was a national treasure: a majestic, black-maned beast who was a resident of Hwange National Park and a collared participant in an Oxford University study. In death, he has become a symbol of disturbing human arrogance and excess. William Parker, an American dentist, killed Cecil. Parker, an avid big game hunter, paid $50,000 for the “right” (money…the root of evil). He and his local guides allegedly strapped a carcass to their vehicle, lured Cecil beyond the park’s boundaries and Parker shot him with a crossbow. The injured lion was tracked for the next 40 hours (ugh) until Parker finally delivered the kill shot. Cecil’s head was decapitated, his collar removed and his body skinned and left to rot. Regardless of whether this was a technically legal hunt, does it sound
like sport or the behavior of a human with any regard for hunting ethics or basic morality? To me it sounds like an act by a disturbed individual determined to seek and destroy beauty… just for fun. And it wasn’t Parker’s first offense. In 2008, he pled guilty to lying to federal officials investigating a black bear kill. An elephant hunt was next on his agenda. Nice guy, eh? Parker’s life is now unraveling. He’s in hiding, his dental practice is shuttered and Zimbabwe has requested his extradition. I suppose his existence resembles Cecil’s during those 40 hours when the wounded animal had an arrow – Parker’s arrow - protruding from his body. That’s how I like to think of it. Parker’s burden is excessive, yet I lack sympathy. This problem – senseless trophy hunting and the harvesting of endangered game – needed a victim to mourn and a perpetrator to vilify. Cecil and Parker have assumed the roles. The truth is there are a lot of Cecils and Parkers. In fact, while I wrote this piece, The Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force reported another lion – I’ll call him Simba - was killed. If I’m blessed with grandchildren, it’s a virtual certainty that their world will be devoid of wild rhinos, a species brutalized for its prized horn. Only four white rhinos remain on earth; the lone male is surrounded 24/7 by armed guards. Elephants face a similarly bleak outlook; the amazing creatures could be extinct in Africa by the 2020s. The future for big cats and many fish stocks isn’t marketably better. And what of our precious blue crab? What are we doing? Aren’t we better than this? Mahatma Gandhi once said, “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.” Perhaps Cecil’s martyrdom will invigorate conservationalists, spur political action and change the world’s William Parkers. Until then, whatever greatness resides in our capabilities will remain elusive. What else am I supposed to say? Feign optimism is all I can muster. RIP Cecil. RIP Simba. RIP et al.
