Commissioners Approve Hollywood Rezoning

By Guy Leonard Staff Writer The Commissioners of St. Mary’s County unanimously approved the rezoning of a nearly 18 acre parcel of land in the Hollywood Town Center from limited residential to a mixed used designation that will allow for a combination of residential and commercial development in the site that once played host to a now-defunct amusement center. The land on Greenery Lane and Mervell Dean Road owned by Earley Properties LLC was once part of a plan to build senior housing that has since fallen by the wayside, but commissioners were enthusiastic about the possibilities the rezoning might bring. The rezoning was approved with almost no discussion at Tuesday’s meeting but commissioners acknowledged that 11 property owners had signed a petition in support of the rezoning which would likely help enliven the commercial feel of that area of the Hollywood Town Center. The applicants for the rezoning back in August had argued that the parcel was being held back from its highest and best use given that the surrounding community had changed so much.

They argued that with the advent of the Southern Maryland Higher Education Center, technology-based businesses like Smartronix and the general increase in amenities close by that the time was right for a zoning change. The approval comes at a time when Hollywood appears to be a new center for growth both commercial and residential. Locally-based developers from Dean LLC are proposing a major development at the intersection of Sotterley Road and Route 235 on 20 acres of disused farm land that would make way for retail and restaurant type shops including a pharmacy, filling station and convenience store and perhaps even a car dealership on one of the outlying phases of the property’s build out. That project has come under heavier scrutiny, though, since concerns over the volume of traffic the plan would generate at a troubled intersection were highlighted by a serious crash there involving multiple serious injuries. Closer to the property on Mervell Dean Road a 48-lot residential subdivision is being proposed with plans for a dense cluster of single family homes on Sandy Bottom Road. guyleonard@countytimes.net

Sheriff Says He Is Likely To Pursue Red Light Cameras

By Guy Leonard Staff Writer While the Commissioners of St. Mary’s County debated the merits of automated red light enforcement cameras at Tuesday’s regular meeting any opposition some of them might have to the idea may not matter as Sheriff Timothy K. Cameron said the ultimate authority about whether they become a reality is between his agency and the State Highway Administration. Cameron said he would still want the commissioners’ cooperation on bringing red light cameras to St. Mary’s County if there were a funding issue for the project, but again that would be unlikely since any vendor the sheriff’s office would chose would absorb the upfront cost of installing the cameras in order to begin a profitable sharing of the fines collected from violators. Cameron told The County Times that as the cameras were installed the vendor would simply collect a greater share of the fines until the cameras began to pay for themselves. Once that occurred the county would then split the collection of fines evenly, he said. Even if there was a cost, Cameron said, his agency could probably afford to pay for the cameras since it usually returns nearly $2 million in unused funds to the county each year. The sheriff’s agency has selected five intersections in the county where they want to see red light cameras installed, with four of them on Route 235 and only needs approval from the state highway authorities to begin the process of installation. But that process would be a long and involved one, Cameron said, as the state would thoroughly investigate each intersection’s crash data to see whether a camera was war-

ranted there. Under the sheriff’s office current projected plan each red light camera would cost $2,250 to operate based on the network used by Howard County and the vendor known as ATS. Citations would be issued by the sheriff’s office after they reviewed all of the images taken by a camera to ascertain whether a violation actually took place; Cpl. B.J. Connolly of the agency’s special operations unit said that only about 10 to 15 percent of images resulted in an actual citation. Once a citation was given, he said, the cost was projected to be $75 with no points on a driver’s record or reports to the insurance company. Connolly explained that there were not enough deputies to engage in traffic enforcement of red light infractions on selected Route 235 intersections and that if they did it might cause more problems. “It’s unsafe for officers to do red light enforcement there,” Connolly said. “There are no shoulders or places to pull off.” The sheriff’s office has selected intersections at Millstone Landing, Maple, Old Rolling and Pegg roads for possible cameras. Commissioner Mike Hewitt said he applauded the push for safety at red lights but opposed the cameras. “This just looks like the continuing overreach of government,” Hewitt said. Commissioner Tom Jarboe, on the other hand, seemed in favor of the idea. “I drive all over the state and Route 235 is the most place I know of,” he said. “Where red light cameras are people stop and at the yellow lights they slow down, they don’t just fly through.” guyleonard@countytimes.net

Some South County Landowners Could Reap Windfall

By Guy Leonard Staff Writer Property owners in South County again have the opportunity to get payments from the state in exchange for property development rights with a proposed expansion of the Mattapany Rural Legacy Area which encompasses areas from south of Hermanville Road along the Chesapeake Bay and from Route 5 down to St. Jerome’s Creek. The county made the announcement about the proposed expansion of the legacy area this week; the program is run by the Patuxent Tidewater Land Trust. Donna Sasscer, a perservation specialist with the county’s Department of Economic Development, said the proposal to increase the rural legacy area is in part due to concerns of encroachment on the activities of the U.S. Navy at Webster Field in St. Inigoes. “Some of the land outside the rural legacy area would help to protect the work at Webster Field if it was under easement,” Sasscer told The County Times. The program essentially involves the state paying landowners to restrict develop-

ment on their land with the implementation of conservation easements. Property owners with 15 or more contiguous acres that have the ability to be developed are eligible to receive the state payments. The rural legacy program is in effect statewide with more than $250 million in taxpayer money being used to preserve 80,000 acres of rural land in Maryland. The Patuxent trust reports that it currently has about 4,500 acres preserved throughout Southern Maryland. The Mattapany legacy area initially designated 13,703 acres as preservable back in January of 2006. County commissioners that same year purchased 159 acres known as the Fenwick property to add to the legacy area, according to county documents. Since then more property in the area has been preserved, totaling just over 950 acres under conservation easements. There are an additional 450 acres in the legacy area that are under negotiation between property owners and the land trust for exchange of development rights. guyleonard@countytimes.net

Commissioners Congratulate Sabo Prior to Her Retirement

At their first business meeting of 2016, the Commissioners of St. Mary’s County paused to bid farewell to the county’s Chief of Staff and Human Resources Director Sue Sabo. Sabo began her employment with St. Mary’s County on June 13, 2005. During her tenure as Director of Human Resources she served as Acting County Administrator on two occasions (March 28 – August 7, 2011 and November 20, 2018 – May 8, 2013). On May 8, 2013, her title was changed to Chief of Staff/Director of Human Resources. “Your knowledge has been invaluable to this new group of commissioners,” st said Commissioner Tom Jarboe (1 district) while presiding over the cer-

emony. “We thank you for your years of hard work and dedication to the employees of county government and the citizens of St. Mary’s County.” The commissioners presented Sabo with a proclamation and retirement gift. Her retirement is effective on January 8, 2016. Photos from the ceremony can be found on the county’s flickr photostream at http://www.flickr.com/ photos/stmaryscountygovernment/ sets/.

January Code Home Public Hearing To Be Held In Lexington Park The fourth in a series of public hearing, hosted by the Commissioners of St. Mary’s County, regarding a proposed move to Code Home Rule form of government, will be held on Tuesday, January 19, 2016. The proceedings will take place at the Bay District Volunteer Fire Department, 46900 South Shangri La Drive, Lexington park, MD 20653 beginning at 6:30 p.m. Code Home, part of the Maryland Constitution since 1966, would not significantly change the familiar county commissioner form of government. Rather, it would authorize County Commissioners to enact local laws on a number of subjects without having to await action by the Maryland General Assembly. Under Code Home Rule commissioners could not enact any new taxes or regulatory fees. Code Home Rule would give the Commissioners legislative authority throughout the year. Public hearings on legislation would be held in Leonardtown, rather than in Annapolis during the winter. The public could demand a referendum on any new public local law, something which does not currently exist. St. Mary’s County is one of six counties in Maryland which has not adopted some form of home rule.

The January meeting of the Commission for Women, originally scheduled for January 11, 2016, has been changed. The Commission will now meet on Tuesday, January 5, 2016, at 5:30 p.m. The meeting will be held in Room 14 inside the Po-

Roy Freeman (Rocky) Chandler, 90 Author Roy Freeman (Rocky) Chandler, 90, passed away on December 24, 2015 at the Hospice House of St. Mary’s in Callaway, Maryland. Rocky was born on December 17, 1925 in Brockton, Massachusetts to Ruth Covert Chandler and Erville Freeman Chandler. He attended Carson Long Military Academy in New Bloomfield, Pennsylvania for his high school years. Rocky served in World War II and the Korean War during his 20-year career in the United States Army. An avid hunter, his two favorite duty stations were Germany and Alaska. In 1965, Rocky retired as a Master Sergeant and moved to Perry County, Pennsylvania and taught at Carson Long Military Academy and then at Newport High School. He finished his teaching career in Fairbanks, Alaska where he was principal of Birch School. Rocky was an adventurous man’s man, owning and flying four airplanes, hunting big game, boxing (he was 1949 Middleweight Champion of the Army in Europe), and sailing monohulls and catamarans. He hand-built three boats and three homes. Although he started around the world in 1972 in a 43-foot motor sailer, the boat sank in the Gulf of Mexico off Longboat Key, Florida during the approach of Hurricane Agnes. Rocky settled in Nokomis, Florida, where he sailed and wrote and in 1976 married Katherine Holman Reynolds. Moving to St. Mary’s City in 1994, Rocky continued his writing career and rode his Harley Davidson motorcycle (“Old Dog”) until shortly before his death. He was a charter member of the Blue Knights motorcycle club for active and retired police. Rocky’s 64 books include a series on the history of Perry County, Pennsylvania, books on Pennsylvania long rifles and gun makers and on hunting in Alaska, and the Marine Corps sniping series, Death from

Afar. He appeared in The History Channel’s shows on snipers and was a consultant on the movie “Shooter.” He is survived by his wife Katherine (Kate) Chandler, his sister Barbara Bates (Spokane, WA), and two brothers, Henry (Fork Union, VA) and Norman (Jacksonville, NC). New Bloomfield, Pennsylvania is where Rocky will be buried and, at his request, there will be no funeral or memorial service. Anyone wishing to honor Rocky’s memory is asked by the family to make a donation in his name to the Hospice House of St. Mary’s, P.O. Box 625, Leonardtown, MD 20650. Condolences may be made to www.brinsfieldfuneral.com. Arrangements by the Brinsfield Funeral Home, P.A., Leonardtown, MD.

Keeping Up With A Fuller Schedule

By Guy Leonard Staff Writer Volunteer opportunities abound in St. Mary’s County but laborers can be few. That means the few who are available have their work cut out for them. Enter Rich and Grace Fuller of Lexington Park who divide their time between numerous projects designed to help organizations like their local Optimist Club, Summerseat Farm and even a local soup kitchen at St. Mary’s Caring on Great Mills Road. They even help with the wholesale of product at the Leonardtown Winery where Rich is the current vice president. They throw themselves into their work and have been doing so for years in some cases. Rich often delivers and chops food at the soup kitchen in Great Mills while Grace cooks may meals. “I’ve been working there for 15 years,” Grace told The County Times. The interest in their volunteerism goes beyond just the task at hand; they have a deep knowledge about the places they work, too. As they enter the main farm house at Summerseat they are quick to point out the reason it is so cold during the winter time, even inside. “We’re on one of the highest elevations in St. Mary’s County,” Grace said, while Rich adds that even in the hottest summer months there is a cool breeze coming over the farm house sitting on the hill. “I’m convinced our ancestors were very smart,” Grace said. Summerseat is just one of their many stops during the day. Aside from being an historic asset it also is a refuge for animals that have been cast off. But just like people at a soup kitchen animals need to be fed, too and it isn’t always easy providing for them. The Fullers say that when they became

“We need more people to be more deeply involved to keep things running.”

involved with Summerseat they tried to find a way to feed the animals as cheaply as possible so Grace asked local grocery stores to provide old vegetables that were likely headed for the trash anyway. They initially met with substantial resistance, they said, even though Grace was looking for little more than corn husks to feed animals that were starting to go hungry. “At first they couldn’t figure out what her angle was,” Rich said. Grace added: “They might have thought I was going to try to take it and sell it.” But soon they had persuaded WalMart to begin giving them old vegetables and fruits, like bananas and cabbage leaves. It was one more problem solved. “We found out that just about every animal out here will eat bananas,” Rich said. It also turned out that one solution led to another, since getting the food drops from local stores also included some vegetables that were still fresh and good enough for people. “Some of that stuff was so good we took it to the soup kitchen,” he said. Grace said a lot of her time is taken up by searching for the best deals for food for man and beast. “I want to share with everybody fairly,” Grace said. “It’s a lot of work, but I don’t waste my time.” Finding the resources to fuel volunteer efforts is just one challenge they face; finding the volunteers to do the work is just as problematic. “Today there’s so much going on trying to pull people together for a project is really hard,” Rich said. When they first came to St. Mary’s County, brought by work on Patuxent River Naval Air Station like so many others, there was little to do so volunteer work was a way not just to serve but to have fun too, Rich said. Now with so many distractions and activities available, the volunteer work is left to older couples like the Fullers who have the time in retirement to help out. It’s difficult to get volunteers at Summerseat to do work, he said, but they’ve both seen the same problems around the county in getting help for worthy causes. “We need more people to be more deeply involved to keep things running,” Rich said.

County Commissioner Todd Morgan said the Fullers efforts have benefitted the community far more than could usually be expected of just two people. “They were always involved in volunteering in the community and looking to the needs of the less fortunate,” Morgan

said. “They are the epitome of a couple putting the needs of the community first. “I just hope there are people willing to follow in their footsteps.” guyleonard@countytimes.net

By Skylar Broome Contributing Writer Saturday, Feb. 6 is the place to get a haircut. Gatton’s Barber Shop, a family-owned business, is holding an event appropriately named ‘Buzz Off Cancer for Nolan.’ Nolan Scully is the son of Leonardtown’s Fire Chief, Jonathan Scully who was diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma – a rare cancer that affects soft tissue, bone, or connective tissue. Nolan was diagnosed with this disease mid-November, and as the chemotherapy became more intense, he began to lose his hair. The community can show their support for Nolan and his family by coming in anytime during the day, even 6 a.m. onwards as long as business is still coming. Those who might be afraid to cut off their precious locks can get any haircut, all proceeds will be donated to the Scully family regardless if you get a buzz cut or not.

Tri-County Animal Shelter Trying Hard Improvements Underway By Crista Dockray Staff Writer The Tri-County Animal Shelter located in Hughesville has been in discussion for quite sometime by elected officials, rescue organizations, employees and board members of the shelter and citizens of the tri-county area. Issues range from lack of resources, management, and treatment of animals. During a presentation from the Tri-County Animal Shelter to the Calvert Board of Commissioners a few months ago, Commissioner Mike Hart asked how many dogs were put down at the shelter in 2014. He was told six healthy, adoptable animals were euthanized. In a different presentation by the TCAS Board Members, Hart was told that around 346 dogs had been put down that year, not six. The reasoning for the large difPhotos By Frank Marquart

ference in number is that the tricounty shelter qualified their answer with healthy and adoptable, but sick dogs and “bully breeds”, which are not considered adoptable, were not factored into this number. Hart was a quite irate to hear this information. Although this number seems quite high, the shelter is improving in adoption rates and running the facility to the best of their ability. Linda Kelley, a TCAS Board Member, does admit that this shelter is understaffed, dealing with an antiquated facility, and criticized quite often, but they are working with what they are given. “I’m not really critical of the staff because it’s a tough job, it’s just a tough job,” said Kelley. Kim Stevens, TCAS Shelter Manager, informed the County Times that the bully breed policy, which has been in effect for over 25 years, is in place for two main reasons. The first is that TCAS does not have the staff to perform home checks. This means that they cannot go to the home of a person wanting to adopt a bully breed to make sure that this dog would not be misused or abused. Second, they have this policy

in place because some members of the public believe these breeds to be dangerous. This does not mean a death sentence for the dogs, however. Every dog that comes in that is considered a bully breed by the shelter is evaluated like any other dog and given a behavior assessment. The behavior assessment allows the staff members to measure the aggression of the dog and its adoptability by giving it food then taking it away, petting it all over, putting it on a leash, introducing it to another dog, looking at its teeth, and gently tugging it on the ear. If the dog passes this test, he is considered adoptable and can be placed with a rescue organization. The shelter will then reach out to the around 100 rescue organizations they work closely with, either locally or up and down the east coast, to make sure these dogs are taken and then adopted. Rescue organizations like the Calvert Humane Society do have the staff to perform house checks to make sure these dogs are treated fairly. According to Stevens 9,134 animals of all types went through the Tri-County Shelter in FY14. Of these 9,134 animals, 8,461

The County Times

Thursday, January 7, 2016 were considered adoptable. 628 dogs were put down that year and 320 of those were considered bully breeds, however 79.7 percent of dogs in FY14 were rescued, adopted, or reclaimed. In FY15 that number rose to 82 percent, only 549 dogs in total were euthanized and only 247 of those dogs were considered bully breeds. According to Stevens, they believe this drop is because they instituted the program where they put cards on the cages of the dogs that are considered bully breeds. The card reads, “If you like me because of my stunning personality, please see the front desk.” A person considering adoption can then be connected with one of the rescue organizations the shelter works with who will then come in, rescue the dog, and let the person adopt the dog through them. They hope the numbers of dogs euthanized will continue to lower in the future. The program will help, but so will an update of the facility. The current Tri-County Shelter, which was built in the 1960s, is roughly 12,000 sq. ft. and processes around 9,000 animals a year, according to a report to the Charles County Commissioners. According to a report given by Kelley to the Calvert County Commissioners, they have 70 dog kennels, 77 cat cages, six cat condos, and a free roaming cat room that holds 15 to 20 cats at a time. They also have a barn that holds other animals that are not dogs or cats, but llamas, emus, horses, bunnies, etc. The numbers are high, not only because of the three counties the shelter serves, but because it is a public organization, which means no animal can be turned down. This includes pets given up by their owners, animals received by animal control, and strays. Pets or strays that are not spayed or neutered, little rescues by the public and households not conducting the appropriate research on the breed they bring in and forced to give the animal up, are factors that cause these numbers to rise. The shelter itself, according to Kelley

and Hart, is antiquated, small, and insufficient to take on the amount of animals it is given. There is no backup generator, no climate control, no on-site veterinarian, and many times, it lacks a full staff. “We treat our criminals better than this,” said Hart of the facility. This has resulted in discussion by county commissioners and advisory boards to break off and start animal shelters of their own. A larger discussion on the issue will be on Jan. 12 at 2 p.m. at the Calvert County Government Building. According to Charles County Commissioner Ken Robinson, this meeting will be to address the immediate concerns at the current shelter. They will also gauge the interests of the other counties in regards to the shelter and whether they will want to separate or come together and build a new facility. Robinson said they are not locked into the Indian Head location and that, historically, Charles has had a good relationship with its neighboring counties and they are more than willing to work together. Either way, he said, a new shelter needs to be built.

MedStar St. Mary’s Hospital Welcomes First Babies of 2016 MedStar St. Mary’s Hospital’s Women’s Health and Family Birthing Center (WH&FBC) welcomed five babies on New Year’s Day 2016. “We had a full house in the birthing center as we entered the New Year,” according to WH&FBC director, Kathy Whitecotten. “We are so excited to help these families begin their new year with such a special experience.” Carla Ford was one of the first mother’s to give birth New Year’s Day. Avaya “Ava” Briscoe was born at 1:27 p.m. and weighed 6 pounds, 7.7 ounces. Ford went into labor on New Year’s Day and was only in labor for four hours. “She came pretty quickly,” Ford said. A resident of Waldorf and St. Mary’s County native, Ford delivered her first child, older brother Kieon, now 8, at MedStar St. Mary’s Hospital and wanted to deliver her second child here as well. “I just loved my doctors – they just made my experience so great,” she said. “Everything was perfect.” WH&FBC features five birthing rooms designed with the mother-to-be’s comfort in mind. The center’s 12 private postpartum suites were specifically created to accommodate families during this special time. The hospital has seen a steady rise in births during the last four

years. From 2012 to 2015, the birth rate has risen 15.65 percent from 1,093 births in 2012 to 1,264 births in 2015.

PET OF THE WEEK Meet Ziva My name is Ziva. I was born in April of 2013. Feral Cat Rescue took me and my two babies into their foster system. We all found homes but recently my adopter had to move and could not take me with her. I am a super friendly, big beautiful cat and I love to be petted! I really like attention. I also have a strange meow; sometimes my voice sounds funny if I’m nervous or excited. I have been around dogs and I lived with another cat. I am fully vetted and cannot wait to find a home of my own. I will try to be at the California Petco adoption events on Saturdays and Sundays. Would you come see how wonderful and beautiful I am?

If you like me, then you could foster to adopt me.You can fill out an application at either at the Petco event or here and then email the application to diane@feralcatrescuemd. org. You can also fill out an application at www.feralcatrescuemd.org I would love you forever. Yours, Ziva FERAL CAT RESCUE NEEDS FOSTER FAMILIES. PLEASE EMAIL DIANE IF INTERESTED.

BLEACHERS A View From The Resolution: No Empty Stadiums By Ronald N. Guy Jr. Contributing Writer It’s resolution time, an exercise to complete with care. As most people are their own worst critics, an honest personal critique immediately threatens the New Year’s inherent optimism. In his classic Happy Xmas (War is Over), John Lennon captured the dilemma when he sang, “So this is Christmas; And what have you done; Another year older; And a new one just begun.” Precisely. What have we done, beyond age another year? A personal evaluation includes many tough questions. Was I kind? Selfless? Patient? Was I a good citizen and steward of the planet? Did I dedicate enough time to family and personal relationships? Are my finances and career in order? Am I healthy spiritually (however you define that term)? Physically? Am I happy? Satisfied? Content? Considering that brutal selfexamination, the likely answer to Lennon’s question “What have you done?” is “not enough”, a conclusion that anoints New Year’s the battle ground between an inadequate past and a hopeful future. Before that dark cloud envelops your tender 2016 sky, consider an alternative: Instead of an introspective search for a 2015 failure to correct, look to the external world for inspiration and resolutions. It’s less personal. Less…depressing…and maybe more productive. Where in the external world? How about a few lessons from our local teams? They offered plenty to ponder. Washington Nationals Last spring, the Nats were a chic pick to win the World Series. Bryce Harper even infamously asked, “Where’s my ring?” before the season. Reality: The Nats finished 8979 and missed the playoffs. Perhaps a bit more humility, an acknowledgement of the uncertainty of tomorrow, would be wise. Baltimore Ravens Injuries, gut-wrenching losses… it was an awful year for Poe’s blackbirds. The Ravens had every right to quit. By all accounts they should have quit. Waved the white flag. Tapped out. They never did, competing to the end. Bravo. Adversity reveals character. You’ll encounter the former in 2016, let it reveal your mettle too. The ‘Skins Washington was supposed be a six-win team at best, a cauldron of

Sports

chaos. Instead, the ‘Skins morphed into the NFC East’s most stable team and became what no one thought they could be: division champions. The lesson? You will be doubted too. In 2016, believe in yourself because it will occur to few others to do so. Baltimore Orioles The seminal moment in local sports last year occurred on April 29 at Camden Yards. That afternoon, the Orioles played against the White Sox…in an empty stadium. No fans were permitted entrance because Baltimore, a city I love and called home for six years, was on lockdown in the wake of the violent response to the unconscionable beating and handling of Freddie Gray by city police. Gray died from his injuries and while Baltimore’s buildings burned and public outrage boiled over in the aftermath, Camden Yards, a cathedral of civic pride, good times and unity, fell sadly, but perhaps appropriately, silent. There’s a lot going in the world. North Korea. Paris. ISIS. The Middle East. There’s a lot going on in the United States, too. Ferguson, Missouri. Charleston, South Carolina. San Bernardino, California. Baltimore, Maryland. Lists of despair. If there’s one resolution I hope that every single one of us is making for 2016, it’s to commit ourselves to our common humanity and to halt our compulsive tendency to stereotype and to focus only on our differentiating characteristics - race, religion, sexual orientation and politics. In 2016, love must dominate hate. I’ll leave you with three thoughts from far greater minds. First, this quote from Yoda: “Fear leads to anger; Anger leads to hate; Hate leads to suffering.” Second is this thought from James Baldwin’s essay Everybody’s Protest Novel: “…panic motivates cruelty, this fear of the dark makes it impossible that our lives shall be other than superficial.” And lastly, back to Lennon’s song for a few more poignant lyrics: “And so happy Christmas; For black and for white; For yellow and red ones; Let’s stop all the fight”…“A very merry Christmas; And a happy New Year; Let’s hope it’s a good one; Without any fear.” To a peaceful 2016…and no more empty stadiums.
