Dominion Construction Remains on Schedule By Sarah Miller Staff Writer Dominion Cove Point (DCP) began construction on the Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) facility a year ago, and so far construction is on schedule. Workers are transitioning from earthwork to foundations and equipment installation, said Vice President of Cove Point Construction Bob McKinley. The sound wall, designed to reduce impact on the surrounding community, is scheduled to be completed this fall, he said. In addition to keeping construction on site on time, Dominion is working to ensure the safety of the surrounding community. They are paying for the training and installation of a fire brigade to be on site 24/7 and equipped with reaction equipment for any eventuality at the LNG facility, according to Vice President Mike Frederick. DCP is also in the process of acquirPhotos by Sarah Miller

ing permits that would allow them to build an emergency road to allow families living past DCP to evacuate the area without driving directly past the facility in the event of an emergency. The route would be paid for and maintained by DCP, Frederick said, and gated off when not in use. It would be activated only at direction from Calvert Emergency Ser-

vices, he said. The liquefaction project should be in operation in the fourth quarter of 2017. For more information, visit www.dom. com/covepoint. sarahmiller@countytimes.net

Supreme Court Mandated Tax Return Will Have Little Impact on Calvert

Annapolis, Md. – Governor Larry Hogan and Comptroller Peter Franchot today urged eligible Maryland residents who filed and paid income taxes to another state between 2011 and 2014 to apply for a tax refund against the county portion of their Maryland state income taxes. Refunds are now taking place following a recent Supreme Court ruling related to local income taxes. “For years I have said that Maryland citizens were being overtaxed and overcharged, and now an estimated 55,000 taxpayers are eligible for substantial income tax refunds,” Governor Hogan said. “The Supreme Court’s decision earlier this year allows us to provide another $200 million in tax relief, which will immediately go back into the pockets of Maryland taxpayers, and back into our state economy.” “For the thousands of Maryland taxpayers impacted by the Wynne decision, the Comptroller’s Office is working diligently to get your money back to you, where it belongs,” Comptroller Franchot said. “We have dedicated an enormous amount of resources, technology, and staff to getting refunds out the door as quickly as possible. To date, my office has processed more than 4,000 claims, returning more than $53 million to Marylanders.”

According to information from Calvert Director of Finance and Budget, the decision will require the county to return approximately $300,000 in total to 414 taxpayers per year for the next three years. Calvert brings in $71 million in income tax revenue every year, Hayden said. “It shouldn’t have a big impact on us.” Maryland taxpayers should visit www. WynneTaxRefund.Maryland.gov to get more information on whether they are eligible for a refund. Individual circumstances vary and taxpayers are encouraged to have a tax professional advise them regarding how this decision affects them. In general, Maryland residents who have paid taxes on income earned in certain jurisdictions of another U.S. state may be eligible for a tax refund. However, these refunds are not automatic, and taxpayers who believe they may be entitled to a refund are encouraged to file as soon as possible. Earlier this year, Maryland residents Brian and Karen Wynne won their case in the U.S. Supreme Court after challenging that payment of local income in both Maryland and other local jurisdictions was illegal double taxation. The Wynnes won their case when a majority of justices ruled that Maryland’s income tax law was unconstitutional.

AG Frosh: Maryland to Investigate VW Deception Harm to Buyers, Environment Must Be Addressed, Frosh Says

Attorney General Brian E. Frosh today announced that Maryland will be investigating deceptive emissions mechanisms in Volkswagen diesel vehicles, and will examine ways to compensate vehicle owners and protect against future environmental harm. Maryland will coordinate with at least 28 other states that are investigating Volkswagen, Attorney General Frosh said. “I am furious that the world’s leading car company willfully took steps that polluted our environment and deceived consumers,” Attorney General Frosh said. “I share the anger of those who put their trust in this company and its promises. We will fight aggressively for the best possible outcome

for Marylanders.” Volkswagen has acknowledged installing software in its diesel passenger vehicles that turned on full emissions controls during testing, but switched them off during normal road driving, allowing the vehicles to emit as much as 40 times as much pollution as allowed under the Clean Air Act. Maryland law imposes more stringent emission standards than the federal government and Maryland’s Consumer Protection Act prohibits misleading statements made to consumers about the vehicles that they are buying.

Activists from We Are Cove Point and Allied Groups Disrupt Virginia Governor's Keynote Address at Energy Symposium

Five activists disrupted Governor McAuliffe’s keynote address at the Biennial Natural Resources and Energy Law Symposium today by performing a poem written specifically for the Governor and creatively demanding that he “call off” the proposed pipelines threatening to go through Virginia. The activists were members of the Blue Ridge Environmental Defense League, SEED: Stopping Extraction and Exports Destruction, We Are Cove Point, and FANG: Fighting Against Natural Gas. Taking turns with each verse, they stood on chairs and recited a poem entitled “McAuliffe Knows” (see text below). It spotlighted the hypocrisy of the Governor, primarily regarding his continued support of several natural gas pipelines proposed to devastate Virginia and the Appalachian region. The group targeted the Governor and the event itself – a “symposium” made up largely of representatives from the energy industry, government and academia, to address the “array of energy opportunities in Appalachia.” The Governor’s keynote address was timed to occur immediately prior to a panel on “Natural Gas Pipelines,” which included a representative from Dominion Resources. On Friday, September 18, 2015, a consortium of energy companies, including Dominion Resources, formally applied to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for permission to build the Atlantic Coast Pipeline, a 564-mile natural gas pipeline that would pass through West Virginia, Virginia, and

5

North Carolina. Another consortium, led by EQT Midstream Partners, is seeking to build the 300-mile Mountain Valley Pipeline, which would run from Wetzel County, West Virginia, to Pittsylvania County, Virginia. According to the Appalachian School of Law’s Dan Caldwell, the day-long symposium was designed to “model an atmosphere of rational debate” in order to reach common ground on laws affecting energy production in Appalachia. Tickets for the event were $50 for students and as high as $200 for anyone not a member of a government or nonprofit group. Whitney Whiting, a community organizer with Blue Ridge Environmental Defense League said, “The Governor continues to tout a ‘New Virginia Economy’ based on more fracking and more gas pipelines. But there is nothing ‘new’ about an economic system based on extraction and exploitation of land, people, and natural resources. How will fracked gas traveling through Virginia in massive pipelines benefit Appalachia? It won’t. It will benefit Dominion and EQT, not Virginians, or anyone else in the Appalachian region.” The group’s participants said they had accomplished their goal of adding an extra voice to the day’s conversation, and by sending the message to Governor McAuliffe and industry representatives that the resistance to natural gas infrastructure in Virginia is stronger than ever.

Drug Take Back Day

The Maryland State Police in cooperation with CAASA (Calvert Alliance Against Substance Abuse) and the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office hosted a Prescription Drug Take Back Day at five different locations within Calvert County. The take back day netted 300 pounds of unused prescription drugs. The drop off locations are available seven days a week, 24 hours a day in a continuing effort to keep prescription medications out of the wrong hands. Keeping a household free of unused prescription medications is an important step to curtailing the prescription drug abuse issue in Calvert County.

September is PAD Awareness Month

In conjunction with Peripheral Artery Disease Awareness (PAD) month, MedStar St. Mary’s Hospital (MSMH) is working to help educate the community about PAD, an often undiagnosed illness which left untreated can lead to lower extremity amputation, as well as extensive pain and suffering, and even death. It is estimated PAD affects between 8 and 12 million Americans over the age of 50 – or one in 20 adults. PAD is a disease that occurs when arteries – particularly in the lower legs – become clogged with fatty deposits that limit blood flow. PAD increases your risk of heart attack and stroke, but timely detection and treatment can reduce these risks and improve your quality of life. To educate communities about the prevention and risk factors associated with PAD, MedStar Health is working in collaboration with Dare to C.A.R.E to provide cost-free vascular screenings. Vascular screenings have been beneficial in uncovering blockages that may have otherwise gone undetected. Screenings are quick and pain-free using ultrasound technology and appointments include blood pressure checks. If you are age 50 to 80, smoke, have diabetes, have high blood pressure and/or high cholesterol, you may be at increased risk for PAD. Schedule your screening today by calling 410-5739483, ext. 202 or 203. In addition to education and informal screenings, MedStar St. Mary’s offers a comprehensive approach to combating PAD from testing and diagnosis, to treatment and follow-up care. Technologically advanced diagnostic and surgical procedures are offered through the hospital’s angiography suite, which is complemented by the wound-care services offered through MSMH’s state-ofthe-art Wound Healing Center. “Many people who have PAD do not experience any symptoms,” said Charlene Rohulich, Operations Specialist for MedStar St. Mary’s Wound Healing Center. “Smokers, African Americans, people with high blood pressure, and individuals older than 50 with diabetes are at a much greater risk of having the disease.” Typical symptoms of PAD include: Fatigue, heaviness and cramping in the legs during activities such as walking or climbing stairs that goes away with rest; Pain in the legs and/or feet at rest, disturbing sleep;

Sore or wounds on toes, feet or legs that heal slowly, poorly or not at all; Color changes in the skin of the feet, including paleness or blueness; A lower temperature in one leg compared to the other leg; Poor nail growth and decreased hair growth on toes and legs. The Wound Healing Center offers a variety of tests for PAD including an ankle-brachial index (ABI), a painless and easy procedure that involves comparison between blood pressure readings in the ankles and the arms, and a Doppler ultrasound to see which artery or arteries are blocked. “MSMH offers tests for PAD and our Wound Healing Center treats chronic wounds which may have underlying conditions of PAD,” Rohulich said. “Many people don’t realize that lifestyle changes are an important part of managing PAD.” The following action steps can help manage PAD. Quitting smoking Correcting blood pressure and cholesterol issues Developing healthy eating habits Create an exercise plan Consult with a doctor about medications that may help PAD Special procedures and surgeries to open arteries that have narrowed “PAD can increase a person’s risk of heart attack, stroke, amputation and possibly death. It is important to discuss your risk factors with your doctor,” said Rohulich MedStar St. Mary’s Wound Healing Center is equipped with two state-of-the-art hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) chambers, which use a combination of high pressure and pure oxygen to help patients heal at a quicker rate than traditional treatments. The facility s is one of nearly 800 centers in the nation managed by Healogics, the nation’s largest provider of advance wound care services. People with wounds that have not improved with traditional methods of treatment may benefit from a visit to MedStar St. Mary’s Wound Healing Center. For more information about the Wound Healing Center, visit the hospital’s web site at MedStarStMarys.org. To schedule an appointment, call 240-434-7670.

It also allowed hundreds of children to see Santa and share with him their Christmas wish list. And it doesn’t stop there. Due to the actions of Ms. Beaudin, Mr. Krahling and Mr. Reinhardt, the annual Easter Festival held in the Spring has also been cancelled. Why would three elected officials of a municipality that ended FY2015 (on June 30) with a $1.2 million surplus and over $7,400,000 in their reserve accounts feel a need to cut the Special Events budget resulting in these events for our children being cancelled? I encourage you to attend the Oct. 15 meeting of the Chesapeake Beach Town Council and ask Ms. Beaudin, Mr. Krahling and Mr. Reinhardt this question.

As you have probably heard by now, the Family Fun Night at the Chesapeake Beach Waterpark scheduled for Sunday, Oct. 18 has been cancelled. As a resident and an elected official of the Town, I am embarrassed and upset that an event which allowed over 1,000 children each year to “Trick or Treat” in a safe friendly atmosphere had to be cancelled. Unfortunately, three of my colleagues, Ms. Valerie Beaudin, Mr. Jeff Krahling and Mr. Eric Reinhardt felt it necessary to remove funds from the Special Events budget rather than allocate money from our Reserve Account. But, it doesn’t stop there. Ms. Beaudin, Mr. Krahling and Mr. Reinhardt’s action have also resulted in the cancellation of the Town’s Annual Light Up The Town night (the Sunday after Thanksgiving.) This event not only ushered in the holiday season in Chesapeake Beach, but allowed the musicians of

State of Md. Says Trailer Park Dear Secretaries Tenants Are Not Our Problem By Sarah Miller Staff Writer

“Legally and morally, he [Hallowing Point Trailer Park property owner Mike Mona) should be treating those tenants with much, much more respect than he has been,” said Calvert Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) Vice President Evan Slaughenhoupt, Jr. The owners of Hallowing Point Trailer Park stand to make $1.9 million from the sale of the property to the Maryland Department of Natural Resources. The sale, and subsequent eviction of more than 100 people, has been the subject of ongoing concern from the BOCC. Demolition of the Hallowing Point Trailer Park and stabilization of the former restaurant site will be taking place in the next 12 to 24 months, according to information from the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE). MDE was originally interested in the property because of the opportunity it offers to enhance community offerings at Hallowing Point Park. The Southern Regional Services Center is in bad shape, said Maryland Parks Service Chief of Planning Mary Owens. Acquiring the Hallowing Point property, along with the adjacent Friscoe Property, will allow the Department of Natural Resources to “address planned expansion of DNR’s Southern Regional Service Center, address some maintenance and operational concerns at the existing boat ramp, expand and diversify water access opportunities on the Calvert County side of the Patuxent, and restore a degraded waterfront site,” according to information provided by Owens. “Prior to pursuing the acquisition, DNR staff approached Calvert County staff about working cooperatively to develop a small waterfront park on the site and to assist in the future park’s development and management. The County expressed a willingness to work with the State, and collaboration on the overall project is ongoing,” DNR documents state. DNR does not yet own the property and money has not changed hands, said, Director of Land Acquisition and Planning Emily Wilson. Before DNR can take ownership of the property, the owner needs to cap the wells and clean up the site. All tenants must be off the property before the property transfer can go to settlement, Wilson said, but DNR is not involved in the relocation efforts. “That’s not actually our role,” Wilson said. “That’s

a landlord-tenant issue. We don’t even own the property.” DNR has a year to close on the property, and that timeframe may be extended if the property isn’t in a state that it can be transferred by August 2016, Wilson said. The Calvert Housing Authority is one of a number of organizations offering residents who will be displaced assistance through the Rental Allowance Program, said Director of Rental Services Amy Crisp. Taking ownership of the property before DNR in order to more smoothly transition families was not an option. “We wouldn’t have been able to do that,” Crisp said. While the county is willing to work with DNR to design the development of the property and to support community activities once they begin, the BOCC is concerned about the treatment of the individuals and families currently living on the property. The BOCC recently approved a letter on Sept. 12 to be sent to Secretary of Maryland Housing and Community Development The Honorable Kenneth Holt and Secretary of the Maryland Department of Human Resources The Honorable Sam Malhotra detailing the legal and moral obligation the Hallowing Point property owner has to assist with the relocation of his tenants. Elected state officials were not privy to the details of the deal made between DNR and Hallowing Point, LLC, Et Al. “Legally, I’m not certain what can be done,” said Senator Mike Miller, adding that he is working with Calvert to help find habitats for families facing eviction from Hallowing Point. His office has received a number of letters asking for aid, Miller said. The county and the state need to listen to the message Pope Francis preached during his visit to the United States and recognize that the state and the county need to do all they can do to alleviate the burden from the homeowners who live in substandard housing at Hallowing Point. This is not the first time Miller has encountered individuals displaced from their homes without being provided with alterative housing. “It’s a problem,” Miller said.

“Legally, I’m not certain what can be done...”

Holt and Malhotra: The human stories at Hallowing Point Trailer Park that have unfolded over the past years have tested our collective resources to address living conditions and personal situations for those residents. Overall, it is with great appreciation that housing vouchers and Social Services referrals have served those residents well over the past years. We write today on a related topic that is unfolding as we write. As you are aware, the Board of Public Works approved the acquisition of the Hallowing Point Trailer Park by the Department of Natural Resources. As a condition of the sale, we understand the property owner is to terminate all residential leases and turn the property over after removing all improvements. Our collective resources continue to work collaboratively to ensure proper referrals are made for residents and available resources are made accessible to residents of Hallowing Point. The dedication of all personnel is sincerely appreciated. However, a number of concerned citizens have contacted us regarding any relocation plan the property owner may have for aiding residents in finding new homes. As a result of the current situation, we have found there may be opportunities for additional clarity in the application of Title 8A, of the Real Property Article of the Maryland Annotated Code, which Title addresses mobile home parks and, within Subtitle 12, their closure. Applicability of Subtitle 12 to Hallowing Point has been questioned on two grounds. First, Real Property Article, §8-101(j), defines a resident to include those who own a trailer and resides in a Park. Therefore, it appears that those residents of Hallowing Point, who do not own, but, instead, lease a trailer and a space in the mobile home park, are not eligible for the protections of Title 8A, Subtitle 12, of the Real Property Article. If that is not the

result intended by your respective Departments, we would encourage remedial legislation. Similarly, we have found that the property owner does not intend to obtain approvals for a change in land use until the mobile home park is vacated. As you are aware, withholding approval for a change in land use is the sole penalty available to a local government, when a mobile home park owner seeks a change in land use, but does not submit a relocation plan or fails to follow that plan. There is neither a remedy nor relocation assistance plan required where the park owner causes the park to become vacant prior to seeking approval for a change in land use. If that is not the result intended by your respective Departments, we would again encourage remedial legislation. In conclusion, it seems that Title 8A, of the Real Property Article of the Maryland Annotated Code affords protections above and beyond those generally available to residential tenants. To qualify for those additional protections requires the tenant own their trailer and lease a trailer space within a Mobile Home Park. Additionally, those protections for trailer owners in Mobile Home Parks are not enforceable when the Park owner first vacates the Park, then, later seeks approval for a change in land use. Because these laws are generally applicable throughout the State, we yield to your collective judgments, and those of the members of the General Assembly, as to whether or not these are the results intended. Sincerely, Board of County Commissioners Calvert County, Maryland - Steve R. Weems, President - Evan K. Slaughenhoupt, Jr., Vice President - Mike Hart - Tom Hejl - Pat Nutter

Education Funding Realtor’s Choice Planning Underway

Presenting the professionals' favorite properties on the market.

Featured Homes of the Week

By Sarah Miller Staff Writer The Board of County Commissioners and Board of Education to discuss budget challenges and funding needs in the coming budget build for fiscal year (FY) 2017. During the meeting, the boards discussed the effects of the last budget build, which resulted in 39 fewer teachers overall, 35 fewer instructional assistants, and cutting programs with lackluster attendance, among other things. “It sounds like the schools are weaker this year than they were last year,” said commissioner Mike Hart. During the meeting, both boards talked about the need to keep up to date with

Other Post Employee Benefits (OPEB) payments. “If we don’t pay now, we’ll have to pay double payments in the future,” said Calvert County Director of Finance and Budget Tim Hayden. Options discussed to keep OPEB payments affordable included requiring employee contribution, requiring preMedicare contributions, reducing benefits, and establishing a defined-contribution OPEB benefit. The BOE’s next meeting will be on Oct. 8. The BOCC meets every Tuesday starting at 10 a.m. For more information, visit www.co.cal.md.us or www.calvertnet.k12.md.us. sarahmiller@countytimes.net

Getting Crafty at the Library

By Sarah Miller Staff Writer

To list a property in our next Realtor’s Choice edition, call 301-373-4125.

Calvert Library hosts a number of craft groups, giving adults and teens a place to be crafty with their friends and get new ideas. “We support each other and our crafts,” said Prince Frederick Pins and Needles member Carol Cornelius. The groups also try to support their communities. Crafters occasionally give gifts to librarians and donate items to charity, said Dallas Bolen. The Pins and Needles group at Prince Frederick was the first of the library based crafting groups. The group started out with quilters who met regularly at each other’s homes. Eventually, the group became big enough for the library to host them weekly, Cornelius said. The crafting groups offer a way for indi-

viduals who are new to the county to find friends with similar interests. Missy Nice and her daughter, Katelynn Nice, saw advertisements at the library for Pins and Needles and decided to try it out. They found friendly people willing to help them learn new knitting techniques, Missy said. There are three separate crafts groups that meet at libraries countywide. The Prince Frederick group meets from 1 to 4 p.m. on Fridays. The second group meets at Southern Branch on Tuesdays from 6 to 9 p.m. in Solomons and the third group meets at the Twin Beaches on Mondays from 1 to 4 p.m. The crafting groups are open to any and every body interested in learning a new skill or in honing an existing one. For more information, visit calvert.lib.md.us. sarahmiller@countytimes.net

BLEACHERS A View From The

Own It By Ronald N. Guy Jr. Contributing Writer

He was, initially, just the longlocked first baseman on the Philadelphia Phillies team that lost to the Baltimore Orioles in the 1983 World Series. Quite a fuss was made of this active icon, but his mediocre play didn’t seem to match the verbal accolades. I suppose when you’re a kid, it’s all about the moment. There’s no concept of careers or the passage the time. And in 1983, there was no Google machine to confirm or deny the legend. So…history, schmistory. I didn’t set eyes on Pete Rose until that ’83 Series. I was 10. He was 42. In the years to come I’d learn about his “Charlie Hustle” moniker (a hard-nosed style reminiscent of the old Rocking Chair softball league,) his bulldozing of Ray Fosse in the 1970 All-Star Game and The Big Red Machine. I witnessed his astonishing MLB record 4,192nd hit in 1985 and came to understand - even appreciate - the obvious chip on his shoulder and the wealth of Donald Trump-like arrogance that made it all possible. In 1989, Rose was infamously banned from baseball by Commissioner Bart Giamatti for betting on the game. Despite his fervent denial and appeals to two subsequent Commissioners (Fay Vincent and Bud Selig,) the ban remains. I believed Rose for a long time. I read his book “My Story” and shook the man’s hand after he autographed it in the early 1990s. The 10-year-old child in us doesn’t die easily. He was, as is now known, a spectacular liar, one fueled by the same pride that made him MLB’s “Hit King”. In 2004, Rose admitted to betting on the Reds to win while he was manager; earlier this year, evidence indicated that he bet on baseball as an active player. Yet Rose, robbed of his baseball identity and no doubt driven by the need for Hall of Fame immortality, continues his quest for reinstatement. Rose met with new Commissioner Fred Manfred last week; a decision is anticipated by year’s end. Let him in. Why not? Yeah, he’s unethical. A liar. A violator of baseball’s golden rule. But isn’t a 25-year penance enough? And frankly, MLB applying a Puritan code on Rose wreaks of hypocrisy. Its “sacred” Hall of Fame is

already filled with miscreants. Cap Anson helped establish the color barrier by refusing to play with African Americans. Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis perpetuated baseball’s segregation for decades (Jackie Robinson finally integrated the sport three years after Landis’s death.) Orlando Cepeda was incarcerated for drug smuggling. Gaylord Perry made a career out of doctoring the baseball. Babe Ruth was a drunk and a womanizer. And Willie McCovey pled guilty to tax evasion. All are enshrined in Cooperstown. Where was baseball’s high moral standard, its reverence for the sanctity of the game, during the steroid era? Comparing crimes is difficult, but isn’t gambling – Rose’s sin – abhorred because it compromises competition? Doesn’t the presence of hulked up players capable of artificially-enhanced performance do the same thing? Why not let them all in? Excluded, Rose and the juicers are pariahs. With Hall of Fame passes, their baseball accomplishments and sins can be properly documented. Tattoo their baseball immortality with well-earned scarlet letters: “S” for steroid users, “G” for Rose the gambler. How will Manfred rule at Rose’s parole hearing? The bet (pardon the pun) is he remains banned. Regardless, Rose’s predicament is his own doing, the byproduct of pervasive, ego-fueled deceit. For decades Rose clung to his act, admitting the truth only after hard evidence exposed his charade. The purposeful concealment compounded the transgression and didn’t allow America to indulge its compulsive need to forgive (particularly the sins of its favorite sons.) Had Rose just owned his error in 1989 and overturned every uncomfortable stone in his checkered past, he’d be back in the public’s good graces and would likely be a member of the Hall of Fame. Despite all his on-field accomplishments, that – the brutal consequences from his lack of personal ownership and genuine remorse is what the “Hit King” has taught that 10-year-old boy in the 32 years since their introduction. A melancholy “thanks” to you, Mr. Rose. Send comments to RonaldGuyJr@ gmail.com

Kyle Lee's Winchester First Comes in Coveted Virginia Nationals Tyler Bare Triumphs in RUSH Crate Late Model Main

By Doug Watson Contributing Writer

Mercersburg Pa.'s Kyle Lee capped a perfect weekend with his first-career Winchester feature win in last Saturday nights 30-lap "Virginia Nationals" Limited Late Model feature, steering his Dougie Timmoms owned Rocket no.2T. Justin Williams and Kyle Lee shared the front-row for the start with Lee surging into the race lead at the field scampered into turn one. Lee had his machine dialed in to the slick but racy Winchester surface as he would eventually lead all 30-circuits. Scott Palmer chased Lee for the first 19-laps before his car quit, handing the spot to Justin Weaver who then took up the chase but was no match for Lee and would settle for runner-up honors. "It's really neat to come to a track we don't race at very often and come home with a win." A jubilant Lee stated during his post race interview. "The track was in great shape tonight and I was able to move around a bit and the longer we went green the better our car got." Heavy lapped traffic was the only real scare Lee faced during his winning drive. "Yeah, they were a bit tricky tonight," said Lee. "I didn't want to see any yellows because our car didn't fire well on the restarts but we were able to get it done." 2015 champion Jonathan DeHaven was third, Kurt Zimmerman was fourth with 20th starting Bubby Dillman completing the top-five. Heats for the 32 cars entered went to Lee, Allan Brannon and Scott Palmer with Bob Dunn taking the consolation. Tyler Bare roared to the win in the 30-lap RUSH Crate Late Model feature. Bare's win was his second at Winchester this season and seventh overall win for the 2015 Virginia Motor Speedway track champion. Bare and newly crowned Winchester champion Darin Henderson were the front row for the start with Bare vaulting into the race lead as the field completed the first circuit. Bare would eventually lead the distance but would have to repel a late race rush from eventual runner-up Brad Ritter to secure the win aboard his MasterSbilt no.30. "The track was a little slick here tonight, but dad and the crew had this car working really good tonight," Bare stated. "We've had a really good season this year and I want to thank all our sponsors who helped us this season." Logan Roberson was third with Reese Masiello and Transton Stoner rounding out the top-five. Heats for the 24 entries went to Henderson, Ritter and Masiello. 2015 Hagerstown Speedway Pure Stock champion Chris Ebersole took top-honors in the 35-lap Pure Stock feature. Bedford Speedway regular Zane Weicht lead the first two laps before Ebersole shot into the race lead. Ebersole would then pace the remainder of the event but would have to survive a spirited drive from 2015 Winchester champion Mike Franklin, who came all the way from his 19th starting spot, to score the popular win. "We always seem to have a good car here, but not many good finishes," Ebersole said after his win. "When I saw Mike get there in second I thought I might be in trouble because he started so far back, he must have been pretty good, but It feels really good to hold him off and get the win," Craig Parrill, Mike Bennett and Mike Potts trailed at the finish. Heat wins for the 32 car field went to Mike Corbin, Bennett and Weicht with Mike Franklin winning

the consolation. In other action Richrad Gwizdale took the win in the 35-lap Four-Cylinder main after apparent winner Frankie Gordon failed a post-race inspection, Bryan Neff drove to his first-career Winchester feature win in the 20lap Enduro Stock feature and Jason Wilkins collected his seventh win of the season in the 15-lap U-Car contest.
