Eliza Eve Bailey, a 17-year-old rising senior of Northern High School who drove a 1992 Plymouth, died at the scene after the crash, Maryland State Police said.

Lawn Mower Races Start This Friday By Dandan Zou Staff Writer

The Annual St. Mary’s County National Lawn Mower Races is back this weekend! About 100 racers from across the country will gather at the Bowles Farm in Clements and get ready to rumble starting Friday evening. Now in its 12th year, the lawn mower race is expected to attract a crowd as large as 5,000 people. The event is open to the public Friday, August 5, and Saturday, August 6. All proceeds will go to the 7th District Rescue Squad and the 7th District Optimist Club. The event raised about $30,000 last year, said Ronnie Mattingly, Chairman of the event. The proceeds are used to support the community, aiding the Rescue Squad in various purposes to keep the community safe, Tommy Bowles of Bowles Farm told The County Times before last year’s race. The organizers also intend to use the proceeds to help the Optimist Club put its share toward the local youth and people in need. The event is designed to bring excitement to the community and provide families fun activities to do over the weekend, Mattingly said. The family-oriented event brings people together every year, Mattingly said. “They

put it on the calendar. They come every year. They stay the whole time.” “Everybody knows everybody,” Bowles said. “It seems like it’s a big get-together of people you see once a year.” Since 2004, the event has grown increasingly bigger. Mattingly said there were about 20 racers and a couple hundred of people coming to the event when they first started. Now it attracts racers from states all over the country and even countries like Canada. Mattingly said this year’s event also welcomes two guests from the British Lawn Mower Racing Association Jim Gavin and Pete Hammerton, president and vice president of the association respectively, to begin preparations for special events to mark the United States Lawn Mower Racing Association’s 25th Anniversary in 2017. Racers will compete for trophies in 10 classes at speeds from 6 to 60 miles per hour. Cost of entry for the race is $10 per person. Children eight year old or younger are free to attend. The address for the race is Bowles Farm, 22880 Budd’s Creek Rd. Great Mills Trading Post and United Site Services are the major sponsors for this year’s race.

Hogan and Franchot to Encourage Shopping During Tax-Free Week, August 14-20 State Sales Tax Waived for Qualifying Clothing and Footwear Under $100 Governor Larry Hogan will join Comptroller Peter Franchot in Frederick on Wednesday, August 10, to promote and maybe do a little shopping in advance of the annual Shop Maryland Tax-Free Week, which takes place August 14-20. During that week, any single, qualifying article of clothing or footwear priced $100 or less – regardless of how many items are purchased at the same time – will be exempt from the state’s 6 percent sales tax. “I’m delighted Governor Hogan will join me to let Marylanders know about an opportunity to keep more of their hardearned money as they shop back-to-school sales for their children or themselves,” Comptroller Franchot said. “A break on the cost of clothing and shoes can make a real difference and help stretch family budgets. Local retailers also benefit with increased foot traffic.” In addition to Frederick, the Comptroller will be promoting Tax-Free Week with visits to stores in Takoma Park, Baltimore, Frederick, Towson and Cambridge. Cailey Locklair Tolle, president of the Maryland Retailers Association, or Maddy Voytek, legislative and membership assistant at the MRA, will join the Comptroller at several businesses. “Tax-free week is an excellent opportunity for Marylanders to take advantage of apparel and footwear tax savings priced at less than $100 per item,” Tolle said. “The week provides a much-needed boost to brick-and-mortar retailers in our state and we encourage all consumers to support their local businesses.” Resulting from legislation passed by the Maryland General Assembly in 2007, the

tax-free week is held annually during the second week in August. Businesses selling items that are not eligible for inclusion in the tax-free week can still participate in Shop Maryland. Under “Sellers Privilege,” other unqualified merchandise can be sold tax-free, but the retailer is responsible for paying the sales tax owed to the state. Planned stops for Shop Maryland TaxFree Week:Thursday, August 4, 1:45 p.m. Montgomery County Amano, 7034 Carroll Avenue, Takoma Park, MD 20912 Tuesday, August 9, 11 a.m. Baltimore City Mondawmin Mall, 2401 Liberty Heights Ave. (Center Court), Baltimore, MD 21215 Wednesday August 10, 11 a.m. Frederick County Whidden Willow, 23 E.

The Calvert County Times

Sheriff’s 2nd Quarter Report The Sheriff’s Office saw continued success in the second quarter of 2016. The newly created Crime Suppression Team (CST) continues to prove its value. CST deputies are in various neighborhoods addressing traffic complaints, thefts from autos, and other reported concerns from citizens. CST deputies also assist with speed enforcement initiatives and supplement Patrol deputies when they are short staffed on Patrol. Most recently, members of the CST executed a traffic stop in the northern end of Calvert County where a convicted felon was found to be in possession of a loaded handgun and enough controlled dangerous substances to be charged with Possession with Intent to Distribute. Patrol Bureau K-9 teams continue to locate illegal drugs on traffic stops at unprecedented levels. In this quarter K-9 teams generated 93 positive alerts for illegal drugs on our roadways. Patrol deputies arrested 125 individuals for impaired driving. Patrol Bureau deputies assigned to the Towns of North and Chesapeake Beach were tasked with ensuring the safety of the public at numerous outdoor events to include; the 2016 opening of the North Beach Farmer’s Market, the North Beach water front concert series, the Chesapeake Beach Stars and Stripes Festival, the North Beach 4th Annual End Hunger Dragon Boat Festival, and the annual Chesapeake Beach Independence Day fireworks display. These events collectively draw thousands to the area. Detectives from the Criminal Investigations Bureau (CIB) made two arrests this quarter related to gun violence. One suspect was arrested for shooting a subject who attempted to rob him of his drugs and money. The victim nearly died and is still hospitalized. The second came after an extensive manhunt. The suspect eluded capture for several days, after opening fire into a bedroom- window of a townhome occupied by his ex-girlfriend, her new boyfriend, and small children. After an around

the clock investigation by detectives, the suspect was located at a residence in Owings. The suspect barricaded himself in the residence and then made an escape attempt out of a second story window that resulted in an arrest by the Patrol Bureau and K-9 personnel. Drug Enforcement Investigators (DEU) did their share and then some in this quarter. On May 10th, members of the DEU were conducting surveillance/mobile surveillance on an individual who was suspected of distributing heroin that resulted in the fatal overdose of a heroin user on April 24th. During the surveillance/mobile surveillance, members of DEU observed the suspect travel to P.G. County and meet up with an unknown subject near Forest Village mall. Once the brief contact was over, the suspect was observed returning to Calvert County where he was observed meeting up with two vehicles being operated by unknown individuals. DEU members contacted Dfc. Livingston who conducted a traffic stop based on the observations of DEU members who obtained a body search warrant for the primary suspect’s person. A search of his person revealed suspected illegal drugs, paraphernalia, and other related evidence. The suspect was placed under arrest and transported to the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office where he was interviewed by a DEU detective. While the suspect was being interviewed, members of DEU along with members of SOT executed a search warrant at his residence located in Prince Frederick. A search of the residence revealed un-prescribed medications, random pills, and drug paraphernalia. Sadly, we lost two K-9’s this quarter. K-9 Narco died of natural causes and K-9 Manny died of a yet to be determined medical event. Several promotions took place this quarter: Lieutenant David Payne was promoted to Captain

etective Sergeant Tim Fridman was D promoted to Lieutenant Corporal Jason Dean was promoted to Sergeant Deputy First Class John Harms was promoted to Corporal. The Bureau of Administration and Judicial Services was busy this quarter. AJSB staff had 290 applicants for Deputy Sheriff apply this spring. 59 applicants were tested and of those, 29 made it to the oral boards. After polygraphs and background investigations four new recruit deputies, were selected to begin the academy on Saturday, July 30th. Five new Deputy Sheriff’s graduated from Police Entry Level Training Program (PELTP Session 42) on June 3, 2016. Sergeant Brian Bowen conducted one of the largest Sheriff’s Sales in the history of the Sheriff’s Office by auctioning off most of the contents of the Striped Rock restaurant in Solomons. In 1984, President Ronald Reagan proclaimed the first full week of May as National Correctional Officers Week. In observance, the Calvert County Detention Center employees enjoyed a flag raising ceremony, a luncheon and were able to invite family for tours of the facility. The Detention Center staff was also presented with a proclamation from the County Commissioners in honor of the annual event. Sgt. Joshua Underwood was recognized by the Maryland Correctional Administrators Association for his Calvert County Corrections Officer of the Year Award in June at the annual conference in Ocean City. The Emergency Response Team graduated CFC Chris Gray, CFC Danial Hamilton, CFC John Ashley, CFC Erik Snyder and CO1 Christopher Oliver as new members of the special operations unit. The eventful quarter continued with CFC Dayania Carroll receiving the Officer of the Second Quarter award. She was recognized for her outstanding work on the floor and dedication to her job and co-workers. The Team

of the Second Quarter is Team 4 consisting of: Sgt. Scott, Cpl. Commodore, Cpl. Jones, CFC Cook, C.O.1 Strain, Hamilton, Hernandez, Ashley, Brooks, Zalusky, Lanier, and Musegades. Congratulations to the supervisors and officers of Team 4 on this accomplishment. Detention Center staff participated in several community projects this quarter. The Jailhouse Rockers held a successful golf tournament in May raising proceeds toward fighting cancer. The 2016 contribution from the Jailhouse Rockers surpassed last year’s donation to the Calvert County Chapter of Relay for Life. The Detention Center remains thankful to the many staff who participate and continue to give to this important cause. This quarter, the Families Reading Together program continued to provide a vital conduit between community children and incarcerated inmates. Inmates who work and study to achieve the privilege of participating in this program are rewarded by being able to connect through literature compositions with their children. Announcements: Joshua Underwood was promoted to the rank of Sergeant and Cordell Jones was promoted to Corporal; Congratulations are extended to both of these fine supervisors. Cpl. Ryan McGaffin was recently reassigned as the Work Detail Supervisor and is poised to make great strides in the program. The Detention Center would like to extend congratulations to Sgt. Arlisa Mason-Buck and CFC Mike Shaw, both of whom recently retired and will be truly missed. Thank you both for your outstanding service to the community and the Agency.

Williams Prevails in Epic Potomac Limited Late Model Battle Greg Roberson Takes Career First in RUSH Crates By Doug Watson Contributing Writer David Williams drove his Sommey and Ruth Ann Lacey owned Rocket no.45 to his second win of the season in last Friday nights 20-lap Limited Late Model feature at Potomac Speedway. The win for Williams, who was also celebrating a birthday, was his 40th career win in the division and overall 92nd career Potomac feature win. The re-draw placed Kyle Lear and David Williams on the front row for the start of the event with Williams powering into the race lead as the field roared off turn two. As the field settled in, Williams and eventual runner up Kyle Lear, would literally race side by side the entire distance with Williams scoring the hard fought win by a car length at the finish. “Sommey and Ruth Ann give us what we need to run up front and I’m happy to get a win for them here tonight,” Williams stated in victory lane. “Our car has been working well on the top this year and it’s a good thing, because Kyle (Lear) runs the bottom so well here and it was a lot of fun racing with him as hard as we did here tonight.” Derrick Quade posted his second consecutive third place effort with Tyler Emory and current point leader Daryl Hills completing the top-five. Greg Roberson made his first Potomac start of the season a good one as he claimed his first career win in the companion 20-lap RUSH Crate Late Model main. Roberson, who lined up second for the start, would lead all but one lap as he would take the win over fellow first time Potomac visitor Matt Hill in quite a crowd pleasing event. “We got lucky and drew a good number for the feature.” Roberson stated post race. “Our car was a little free tonight and Matt didn’t make it easy on us, but it feels great to finally get win here at Potomac.” Jamie Sutphin was third with 12th stating Logan Roberson and Jeff Pilkerton rounding out the top-five. Jonny Oilver became the 7th different winner of the season with his first career division win in the 15-lap Hobby Stock feature. Oliver darted from his outside front row starting spot to take the lead on the first lap and would lead to the finish over a hard charging Sam Archer. “We’ve worked so hard on this car and to finally get one, it’s amazing.” Oliver stated. “I kept the car up top and it was working really good up there I just hope we put on a good show for the fans.” Wesley Givens was third with Billy Crouse and John Burch filling the front five.

In other action, Current Street Stock point leader Mike Latham drove to his 7th win of the season, and career 48th, in the divisions 16-lap feature. Keeping it in the family, Mikey Latham scored his 5th win of 2016 and career 16th in the 20-lap UCar special with Ed Pope Sr. out dueling Ray Bucci to score his second of the season and career 22nd in the 15-lap Strictly Stock event.

PEM TALKS 2016 AT THE CALVERT MARINE MUSEUM The 2016 PEM Talks Series will focus on Vanished Steamboats: The Maritime Art of C. Leslie Oursler, the newest exhibit on display in the Mezzanine Gallery at the Calvert Marine Museum. Celebrate the largely forgotten era of steamboat travel on select Thursday evenings at 7:00 p.m. in the Harms Gallery in September, October, and November. Lectures are free and open to the public. On Thursday, September 8, Jack Shaum, guest curator for the exhibit and longtime friend of the artist, will speak about Oursler’s life and work. An expert on steamboats in his own right, Mr. Shaum vividly evokes the golden age of steam travel through photographs and descriptions. On Thursday, October 6, Dr. Ralph Eshelman, will discuss how steamboat

wharves and landings became the focal point of social and commercial activity on the waterfront. With the move to automobiles and trains and consequent decline in steamboating, the social and commercial fabric of this region changed; however the evidence of this era as Dr. Eshelman will show, remains. On November 10, Pete Lesher, Chief Curator at the Chesapeake Maritime Museum broadens the focus to steamboats throughout the Chesapeake. The importance of the steam lines to commerce, the economy, and social interactions of people living up and down the Chesapeake Bay is fully explored. From Calvert Marine Museum

The Calvert County Board of County Commissioners and the Calvert County Department of Public Works celebrated recycling excellence in Calvert County during its first annual recycling awards ceremony Tuesday, July 26. The event recognized individuals, businesses, government agencies, non-profits and schools for recycling ingenuity and results. “It is important that all of us do our part when it comes to managing solid waste,” shared Board President Evan Slaughenhoupt. “These winners showed how powerful the results can be when you stay focused and committed to a recycling program.” “Calvert Countians on average generate about 300 tons of solid waste a day,” said Rai Sharma, director of county Department of Public Works. “We promote recycling as a way to reduce that impact. These award winners demonstrate how innovation can lead to remarkable recycling results.” The 2016 Calvert County Recycling Award recipients are: Calvert Library Southern Branch The library stopped giving out disposable plastic bags and now gives away reusable bags for customers to tote their materials. Library staff enlisted community members in a project to create reusable tote bags out of plastic bags, with each tote bag removing 150 plastic grocery bags from the waste stream. Asbury Solomons Continuing Care Retirement Community The Go Green Committee at Asbury Solomons worked with residents to recycle 51 percent of the facility’s waste. It also encouraged its dining and maintenance service provider to use recyclable carryout containers and washable plastic glasses.

Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant The plant’s Environmental Stewardship Committee led an effort that helped divert 28 percent of its waste to the recycling market while saving on disposal costs. An LED relighting project and the recycling of wooden pallets and metal helped make Calvert Cliffs a corporate leader.

Calvert County Recognizes First Annual Recycling Award Winners

Calvert Memorial Hospital The hospital has a comprehensive recycling program that helped it divert nearly 200,000 pounds of waste from landfills in fiscal year 2015.

Sneade’s Ace Home Center Sneade’s recycled nearly 42 tons of materials from its two stores last year. Sneade’s staff works to ensure all cardboard, paper, cans, newspaper, toner cartridges and batteries are recycled. Planet Aid Planet Aid’s 16 yellow bins helped recycle close to 50,000 pounds of textiles in

Calvert County last year – a 50 percent increase from 2014. Not only is this reducing landfill waste, it also reduces carbon dioxide emissions by up to 200,000 pounds. Chesapeake’s Bounty From its two Calvert County locations, Chesapeake’s Bounty composted 750 cubic feet of organic matter. Other efforts include recycling or reusing cardboard, the phasing out of plastic bags and the return of oyster and clam shells to the bay for the recolonization of oysters. Trash Troopers First Lego League Robotics Team Realizing a lack of locations for LED recycling in Calvert County, this team developed a return package with pre-paid postage as a prototype for sending LEDs to recyclers. Team members then performed a play to educate friends and families. Dowell Elementary School Dowell Elementary reduced its landfill waste by 26 percent by recycling more than 49,000 juice pouches and almost 8,000 writing utensils. Students also collected 189 pounds of glue stick containers and sent them to Appeal Landfill for rigid plastic recycling. Mill Creek Middle School Mill Creek, a Maryland Green School, diverts 17 percent of its waste to recycling. Students created art from vinyl records and began composting to produce mulch for the school’s flower and plant beds. Calvert High School Along with light bulb, electronic and shredded paper recycling, Calvert High students looked at where recyclable waste is being generated. They brought back recycling in the cafeteria and worked to separate recyclable items at the school’s athletic fields. Three of the county award winners – Calvert Library, Asbury Solomons and Calvert Memorial Hospital – went on to win a state-level Maryland Recycling Network Recycling Award for their recycling efforts. “Most businesses, organizations and institutions understand the long-term economic and environmental savings we can realize through recycling,” explained Calvert County Recycling Program Specialist Keith Roumfort. “We were thrilled to highlight the success and best practices in our community and hope it inspires more people to actively join the effort.” Recycling is an important part of Calvert County›s waste management program. Recycling can help conserve natural resources, conserve landfill space and save money by reducing the cost of trash disposal and offsetting the need for a new landfill.

Calvert Public Schools Pay Bus Contractors More than Necessary, Says State Audit Report By Dandan Zou Staff Writer The Calvert County Public Schools (CCPS) paid bus contractors nearly $250,000 more than necessary in fuel reimbursement in 2013 and 2014, said a July report released by the state’s Office of Legislative Audits. State auditors also wrote that the schools would spend about $5 million more over the 12 years of about 120 buses’ lifespan largely due to not basing its payment calculation on market rates. The state-mandated audit is conducted every six years and is intended to evaluate if the schools have effectively used its financial resources. The report concluded that CCPS needs more improvement in some of its financial practices and provided a total of 12 recommendations. The report came at a time when CCPS had difficulty balancing its budget after decreased state funding, increased health benefits costs and declining student enrollment. Last year, CCPS lost $4 million dollars in funding and had to make significant staff reduction to balance its budget. As a result, about 71 positions were cut, according to the schools’ 2016 budget. Early this year, CCPS budgeted $3 million from its fund balance to give its employees a step increase. An agreement was later reached in late June to implement one step increase in 2016 and another one in 2017. But teachers’ salaries are still several steps behind. The County Times previously reported that Calvert education officials said they were worried that some of their best and most experienced teachers were moving to neighboring St. Mary’s County over dissatisfaction with their pay schedules. “As we were looking at reducing our costs last school year, I can honestly say no one came forward and said, well, you know, if we change this calculation for how we reimburse our bus contractors, we would save some money,” said Daniel Curry, Superintendent of CCPS. In the past, the school paid contractors for fuel usage without taking out federal

excise taxes, which the contractors are exempt from paying and may claim tax credit on their income tax returns. State auditors said school contractors are exempt from the $0.244 per gallon excise tax on diesel fuel and may receive tax credit on their income tax returns of $0.243 per gallon. Curry said the calculation was an old practice that had existed for many years. The state auditors did not identify this issue in their previous report in 2009, and CCPS is not alone in reimbursing contractors for full prices on fuel in the state. State auditors found Harford County Public Schools also reimbursed contractors for their federal fuel excise tax costs in a 2015 audit report. Curry agreed with the report’s recommendation that the calculation needed to be updated to reflect the tax exemptions. Starting the beginning of this school year, Curry said the school would not reimburse bus contractors for the full price they pay at the pump. The schools’ new practice will deduct both federal and state tax exemptions. Curry said a new state legislation that gives bus contractors tax exemptions “served to shine a light on our current practice” and prompt the schools to ask: “shouldn’t we also include the feral tax and back that out when we do our calculation?” In addition to paying more than necessary on fuel reimbursement, the auditors said the schools would spend about $5 million more over the 12 years of school buses’ lifespan partially because the school didn’t use the prime interest rate in its calculation of an annual payment. For each bus, the schools pay a per vehicle allotment (PVA) every year. The payment is intended to reimburse bus contractors for their costs. The PVA formula includes reimbursement for the cost of the bus and a flat rate of return on the investment. Compared with the auditors’ calculation, the report said the school pays be-

tween $622 to $6,380 more on each bus annually. The reason, the auditors said, is largely due to CCPS’s formula, which used an average borrowing rate for the return on investment rate instead of the prime interest rate. The auditors believed the 6 percent rate that the schools used is much higher than the prime rate, which is about 3.5 percent this week according to the Wall Street Journal. “The auditors don’t tell anyone what the return on investment rate is, but they are more than happy to say you’ve over-paid,” said Edward Cassidy, Director of Transportation at CCPS. Cassidy disagreed with the auditors regarding which rate should be used for payment calculation. Cassidy said the school established the return-on-investment rate through calling local banks. He said the prime rate that the auditors recommended is not realistic because it is not a rate that a small business could get from a bank.

In the report, the auditors recommend CCPS to use market investment rates as a basis for determining contractor rates for the annual PVA and develop supportable cost estimates to establish reasonable contracts rates for operation costs and per mile maintenance costs. They also suggest the school to exclude federal fuel excise taxes from contractor payments, a recommendation Curry said they have already implemented since July 1. Curry emphasized that the auditor’s findings are recommendations, “as opposed to being categorized as violations.” He said the schools have taken the recommendations to heart and “will do our best to try to implement their recommendations over time.”

You will see landscapes, flora and fauna, still lifes and much more from the perspective of Kevin, the photographer, and the perspective of watercolor from Mary. Kevin Higgins has been a life-long photographer. He has traveled all over the States, as well as Maryland, for his passion of photography. Mary Blumberg has been painting, teaching and loving the swoosh of watercolor since the 80’s. Realism, with a sense of abstract, is a major facet of her paintings. This is a result of many years’ study in a variety of creative art forms. Also available will be a book of Kevin’s photos, with accompanying poems by his wife Christine, titled “Plum Point Folio”. Come join us for the opening reception where you can meet the artists, see their work and enjoy appetizers and beverages.

Southern Marylander You Should Know CAPTAIN GLEN IVES, U.S. NAVY (Ret)

By David Spigler Contributing Writer

FORMER COMMANDING OFFICER NAS PATUXENT RIVER AND COMMUNITY LEADER Strap in! This is going to be a joy ride about one of the finest naval aviators I have ever met! Not only is he an accomplished Naval Officer, Captain Glen Ives is an exquisite gentleman and an unselfish contributor of his many talents to the entire Southern Maryland community! He is a soft spoken individual, a trait that belies his outstanding leadership and management acumen. Upon his retirement from the Navy in 2008 following an illustrious 30 year career, the Captain, or as I and several others refer to him as “The Skipper”, totally immersed himself in the local community by becoming involved with many professional organizations and charitable groups. The list of his activities is so extensive, one has to wonder where he finds time to sleep! Each week I am given the opportunity to write about a new personality and to delve into their personal life to prepare their story. I am amazed by the magnitude of dedication these unsung heroes have shown their fellow man! Skipper Ives is no exception. His great body of work has been, with no stretch of one’s imagination, phenomenal! I have known the Skipper for more than ten years dating back to the time he served as Commanding Officer of the Naval Air Station at Pax. We had just lost a good friend, John Romer, the Station’s Public Affairs Officer and a large funeral was planned at St. John’s Church in Hollywood. The main speaker for this sad occasion was Captain Ives who just flew in that morning around 0200 hours [2:00 AM] and had to hastily prepare a talk about this good man. This was my first opportunity to hear the Skipper speak publicly and I remember being thoroughly absorbed in his words. He spoke in such a positive manner in describing John and their close professional and personal relationship you might have thought they were “brothers”. I knew from that moment that Glen Ives was a really decent and caring man with a real kindred soul. I was later introduced to the Skipper when I served as Master of Ceremonies at the annual Southern Maryland Mustang Association Dinner and he was invited to be our guest speaker that evening. Let me make sure you understand the term “Mustang Association” does not mean it’s a group of old geezers who own small Ford vehicles! The word “Mustang” has nothing to do with automobiles, but is military slang for gents and ladies who began their careers as enlisted men and women and rose through the ranks. It was through their “head and shoulders” performance and leadership abilities above most of their peers that earned their selection for commissions as military officers. I believe the term came about in the early days when

some of the most ornery enlisted leaders received battlefield commissions and were known for their rough, no nonsense, no excuses manner of leadership. Commanding Officers loved these people [and still do!] because they knew these strong leaders would get the job done! Like “Mustangs” in a corral, they were hard to “break”. Oops, I digress as old geezers tend to do…back to my first meeting with the Skipper. So during my introduction of Captain Ives I made some light comments about pilots and their inabilities to bring back our aircraft in the same condition they found them! And then I went into the usual “rant” we “Mustangs” have for the “ring knockers” [officers who graduate from the Naval Academy – my daughter Stacy is one, Class of 2002]. Imagine my surprise, mostly feigned, when the Captain, a helo pilot, and an Academy grad, introduced his wife Barbara, also an Academy grad as well!!! EEEekkk!!! We had a good laugh at the end of the evening and have become very close good friends ever since! A quick review of Captain Ives naval career highlights is one of an ever increasing levels of importance with each new assignment. Following his commissioning at Annapolis in 1978, he was selected for flight training and he earned his “Wings of Gold” and was designated a Naval Aviator in July, 1980 at NAS Whiting Field, Florida. I never understood why “helo” pilots received “wings” rather than “Gold Rotors”, but I was just an aircraft maintenance officer who questioned just about everything. The Captain went onto fly the HH-2D/SH-2F Seasprite helicopters off Navy destroyers in search of submarines and other assigned missions. Following this tour, he came ashore to be an instructor pilot where he was able to instruct and qualify the Secretary of the Navy as a helicopter pilot in the mighty SH-2F! Wow! He later returned to sea duty and made deployments to the Mediterranean, the North Atlantic, and the Caribbean. He soon was assigned to staff duty with the Deputy Commander in Chief, United States Transportation Command and helped the Command do some great things. The Skipper came into his own while serving as HSL-34 OinC for several Dets and played a large role in helping them win the “HOOK ‘EM” Award as the most mission effective tactical unit within the Battle Group. He was recognized as the National Helicopter Association’s Pilot of the Year and HSL-40’s Officer of the year in 1990! Believe me, these are significant recognitions that are not given lightly. He went on to another staff role at Commander Helicopter Wings Atlantic, only this time was assigned as the Executive Assistant and Flag Secretary for the Admiral. He later transitioned to SH-

60B Seahawk and received his first Command tour, first as XO than as the CO for the world famous “Proud Warriors” of HSL-42. Not surprising, the squadron earned the Battle “E” and CNO Safety Awards during this time, again no minor feat for any aviation unit! Successfully completing this tour, our intrepid Commander reported to the USS Guam, a helicopter carrier, as the Operations, then the Executive Officer and once more proved himself by helping this ship win several prestigious awards. After two more assignment, the Skipper selected for Captain and came to Pax to command the Mighty Pioneers of VX-1. He later moved to the NAWC AIRCRAFT DIVISON as Vice Commander. Finally, in 2004 he reported to the Naval Air Station Patuxent River as Executive Officer and in 2006, becoming the Commanding Officer of the famous “Pax Pros”! And once more he proved to be a great Skipper prior to retiring from active duty in July 2008. In civilian life, Skipper Ives continues to flourish and make a difference. Hired by Sabre Systems, Inc., he has succeeded in this Defense Contractor firm and is now the President and Chief Operating Officer! But, despite all of his great military and civilian successes, the things that impress me most about Glen Ives is his vast involvement in so many aspects of our community. Due to limited space, here are but a few: * Served as President of the “Southern Maryland Navy Alliance” to integrate UAS operation with surrounding States * Honorary Chair of the St Mary’s “United Way”, “Christmas in April”, and “Special Olympics” * Served on the Boards of “Patuxent Partnerships”, “Southern Maryland Navy Alliance”, “College of Southern Maryland Foundation”, “St Mary’s County Chamber of Commerce” [past Chairman], “Juvenile Drug Court”, “Southern Maryland Community Resources”, and “Annmarie Garden” * Passionate supporter of “Melwood” and “Operation Tohidu”, a fresh and effective program to help wounded military veterans and Active Duty personnel overcome obstacles in their recovery and support their successful reintegration into their homes and communities * Current member of the Board of Trustees of “St Mary’s College of Maryland” and Board of Governors for the “Southern Maryland Higher Education Center” * Chaired the “Catholic Schools Task Force”

* Co-chaired the “River Concert Series Task Force” * Recently served on the “State of Maryland Economic Development and Business Climate Commission” * Currently serving on the Governor’s “Base Closure and Realignment Commission [BRAC]Advisory Group” * Member of the “St Mary’s Rotary Club” Glen is married to the former Barbara Arlene Morris of Langhorne, Pennsylvania, , a retired Reserve Navy Captain and a dedicated, accomplished Educator in her own right. She is now involved with the College of Southern Maryland following many years at St. Mary’s-Ryken as the popular Dean of Students. The Ives are proud of their three boys, each who is serving on active duty in three different military services; Glen Christopher [LT, USN], Matthew Francis [1st LT, USMC], and Jack Alexander [SPC, USA]. They all feel blessed to call St. Mary’s County their home. Skipper, I truly do not know how you do it! Your contributions to the community, your successes in your military, civilian, and personal careers and your beautiful family that you and Barbara have brought up are unparalleled! You have set the finest example for any man or woman to look to when helping out when folks need support. You are the model President John Kennedy spoke of in his Inaugural Address in January, 1961 when he challenged all of us to “Ask what you can do for your Country”! I was there as a 16 year old standing in below freezing weather listening to this young and newly elected man who did so much. I do not know of any citizen who answered his call better than yourself. Sir, I offer you a snappy salute for all you have done and all you intend to do! Thank you my friend! Dave Spigler resides in Lusby at his home “Hog Heaven” with his wife Deb. He has lived is Southern Maryland since 1979 and has been recognized several times for his years of community service. He received the “Calvert You Are Beautiful Award” for 2013 and was recognized by the Knights of Columbus of Maryland with its “Maryland Citizen of the Year” in 2011. Dave was a member of the HOGETTES, the Washington Redskins “Biggest Fans” for 22 years. If you know of an unsung hero of Southern Maryland, please contact Dave at spiggy@erols.com.
