Fallen Priest Pays Hefty Restitution to Court Order Driver Killed in MIR Crash By Guy Leonard Staff Writer John S. Mattingly, former priest at St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church who pleaded guilty to multiple counts of theft from his own congregation, has paid $400,000 in restitution per court orders, on line documents from the U.S. District Court in Greenbelt show. Mattingly, 71, faces sentencing July 31 for stealing donations from church members during the last four years of leading one of the oldest Catholic churches in the United States. St. Frances Xavier Church in Newtowne Neck dates back to the early 17th century just years after the founding of the Maryland colony. A federal investigation into Mattingly, spurred by questions surrounding the fi nancial health of the parish and the disappearance of tens of thousands of dollars meant for charitable donations that he could not account for, revealed that from 2006 to 2010 Mattingly took checks from parishioners intended for charities and deposited them into a bank account he controlled. The County Times was the fi rst to report on questions into Mattingly’s fis-
cal stewardship of the Newtowne Neck congregation back in 2014. The checks made out by parishioners were for the church and the St. Vincent de Paul Society but Mattingly used his pastor’s title to falsely write on checks that they were to be used for those charities but were instead funneled into a personal retirement account. Federal authorities say that Mattingly fraudulently deposited more than 500 checks which totaled at least $76,000 from more than 135 members of the St. Francis Xavier congregation. As the investigation went on the fi ndings showed that nearly half-a-million dollars had been stolen. While serving as priest there Mattingly received a salary and a stipend from the church. Sources close to the church revealed to The County Times that after Mattingly left his position it was discovered that the parish was near fi nancial insolvency despite continual donations from church members. Soon after the church returned to financial stability, the sources told The County Times, when it came under new leadership.
Tuajuanda Jordan, president of St. Mary’s College of Maryland is continuing her duties after suffering some minor injuries as the result of a recent car crash in which, she was reportedly struck by a motorist who ran a red traffic signal. The collision occurred on Mervell Dean Road in Hollywood on July 18, college officials stated and that “she was transported to an area hospital for treatment of minor injuries. “She was released later that day and is doing well. It is our understanding that the accident was caused when another car failed to stop at a flashing red light.” Commissioner President James “Randy” Guy said he had spoken to Jordan about the collision and said her
A drag race car driver was killed Sunday at a sanctioned race when his car crashed at the track at Maryland International Raceway in Budds Creek. Police are investigating the crash that killed Thomas Dunford, 60, a Tazewell, Va. resident. Mechanicsville Volunteer Fire Department responded to the nighttime crash and found that the driver would have to be extracted from the vehicle after it had crashed at the end of the track in the woods. According to the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office, Dunford, for as yet unknown reasons, either failed to apply the breaks or release the parachute to the rear of the vehicle and his vehicle sped through the sandpit and water barrels before stopping in the woods. Emergency responders declared Dunford deceased at the scene. Dunford’s death is the third racing fatality in as many years at MIR. Lamont Atkins-Freeman, 48, was killed in May of 2014 when he was engaged in a test run of his 1971 Plym-
outh Duster and it crashed. Reports from the management at the racetrack when Atkins-Freeman began his test run stated his helmet was secured but just after he crashed investigators found that his helmet was still in the car after he had been ejected. When he crashed into the concrete barrier on the track his car rolled, the statement said, leading to his being thrown from the car. Investigators found the seatbelts and roll bar where still intact, the statement said, and anchored in the car. Atkins-Freeman was from Lower Nazareth Township in Pennsylvania. The second death at MIR came just two months later in July when Aaron Slemker, a native of Clayton, Ohio, was taking a motorcycle drag racing class. Slemker when he was returning to a staging area behind the drag strip via an access road he lost control of his motorcycle and crashed into a concrete barrier. Slemker was 21 years old. guyleonard@countytimes.net

College President Recovering From Car Crash By Guy Leonard Staff Writer

vehicle had been “almost completely demolished.” She had suffered some injuries to her face and one leg, Guy said Tuesday near the end of the meeting of the Commissioners of St. Mary’s County. Several commissioners took the opportunity to admonish motorists who drove at excessive speeds or ignored traffic laws in general. “There’s no sense in running a red light,” Guy said of Jordan’s collision. Commissioner Todd Morgan railed especially against speeding on Route 235 as did Commissioner John O’Connor on Route 5 speeders in the northern end of the county. “Driving up and down Route 235 I see an accident almost every day or every other day,” Morgan said. “Slow down. Take the pedal off the metal.”

Assault Weapons Ban Maryland Gains 13,300 Appealed to Supreme Court Jobs in June
By Guy Leonard Staff Writer
Plaintiffs suing to overturn the state’s Firearm Safety Act of 2013, commonly known as the assault weapons ban, have petitioned the Supreme Court to take the case after failing to win at the level of the lower 4th Circuit Court of Appeals. The case of Stephen V. Kolbe et al vs. Lawrence J. Hogan, Jr., et al, seeks to reverse the sweeping law that banned many military-style, yet highly popular, semi-automatic rif les as well as their key feature: high-capacity, box-type magazines with an ammunition supply of more than 10 rounds. When the case went before the appeals court, the judges there ruled that semi-automatic rif les of military pattern along with high capacity magazines were not covered by the 2 nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution because they were mostly suitable for military service. The appeals court’s ruling seems to contradict that of the Heller decision made by the Supreme Court that
overturned the decades old gun ban in Washington, D.C. and affirmed the constitutional right of citizens to own firearms. “Maryland has banned the most popular semi-automatic rif les and magazines – arms that are indisputably in common use for self-defense – from the homes of its law-abiding citizens,” the lawsuit argued in its appeal to the High Court. “According to the Fourth Circuit, it was “compelled by Heller to recognize that those weapons and magazines are not constitutionally protected. “The Fourth Circuit’s decision misinterprets and conf licts with Heller and its progeny, as well as with the decisions of other courts of appeals, on a central question addressed in Heller: What arms are protected by the core right of the Second Amendment – the right of law-abiding citizens to keep arms in common use for self-defense in the home.” The Supreme Court has yet to take up the appeals case. guyleonard@countytimes.net

The U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) released state jobs and unemployment data earlier today. According to the preliminary survey data, Maryland added 13,300 total jobs over-the-month. The private sector added 9,400 jobs. Since January 2015, Maryland has gained 106,700 jobs. Maryland’s June unemployment rate dropped to 4.1 percent from the May rate of 4.2 percent. The Maryland rate falls below the national average of 4.4 percent. “Since Governor Hogan took office, Maryland has gained a total of 106,700 jobs with more than 92,000 jobs coming from businesses,” said Maryland Labor Secretary Kelly M. Schulz. “At the Maryland Department of Labor, we are focused on expanding our employment and training resources to create more opportunities as we are changing Maryland for the better.” According to the data released today, the Professional and Business Services
Sector increased by 6,100 jobs, including 4,700 jobs in the Administrative and Support and Waste Management and Remediation Services subsector; 1,300 jobs in the Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services subsector; and 100 jobs in the Management of Companies and Enterprises subsector. The Education and Health Services Sector increased by 1,600 jobs, and the Financial Activities Sector increased by 1,200 jobs. The Maryland Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation (DLLR) is committed to safeguarding and protecting Marylanders. We’re proud to support the economic stability of the state by providing businesses, the workforce and the consuming public with high quality customer-focused regulatory, employment and training services.

State Releases Bay Oxygen Level Report Dissolved oxygen conditions in Maryland’s portion of the Chesapeake Bay mainstem were much better than average for early July, reports the Maryland Department of Natural Resources. The hypoxic water volume (areas with less than 2 mg/l oxygen) was 0.78 cubic miles, which is much smaller than the early July 1985-2016 average of 1.3 cubic miles. No anoxic zones (areas with less than 0.2 mg/l oxygen) were detected. Crabs, fish, oysters and other creatures require oxygen to survive with levels above 5 mg/l considered optimal to support aquatic health. The better-than-average conditions could be partially attributed to sustained westerly winds during the sampling period, which mixed oxygen deeper into the water column in the main bay channel. The winds, however, pushed surface waters eastward, allowing lower dissolved oxygen bottom waters to percolate toward the surface on the western side of the lower bay. Winds and rough water conditions prevented station CB5.3, a center bay channel station near the Maryland and Virginia state line, and the lower Potomac station LE2.3 from being sampled. It should be noted that the absence of data from these stations could produce lower than average estimates of hypoxia.
L I S T I N G P R I
In the lower center bay, habitat improved with non-hypoxic conditions stretching from the surface down to about 33 feet deep, an improvement from a late June result of 25 feet. More on fishing and fish habitat conditions can be found on the new “Click before you Cast” webpage. In the beginning of June, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, U.S. Geological Survey, University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science and University of Michigan scientists predicted a slightly larger than average hypoxic volume for the bay due to higher spring flows (January-May) and nitrogen loading from the Susquehanna River. Scientists and natural resource managers study the volume and duration of bay hypoxia to determine possible impacts to bay life. Each year (JuneSeptember), the Maryland Department of Natural Resources computes these volumes from data collected by Maryland and Virginia monitoring teams. Data collection is funded by these states and the Environmental Protection Agency’s Chesapeake Bay Program. Monitoring and reporting will continue through the summer. From Maryland DNR

Nissan Car Dealership Coming to St. Mary’s County By Dick Myers Staff Writer St. Mary’s County is getting a Nissan car dealership. The facility will be on southbound Three Notch Road (Route 235) in California between the Hickory Hills Shopping Center, and Plaza Tolteca Mexican restaurant and La Quinta Inn. It will be operated by Morelli Automotive Group of Bowie. Wanamaker Auto Group, owner of Bayside Toyota and Chevrolet in Prince Frederick, had originally proposed a dealership at the same location in 2014, but that project apparently stalled. Company owner Geoff Wanamaker had stated at the time that he was considering several potential dealerships, including Honda, Kia and Nissan. Morellii Automotive Group has operated Nissan of Bowie for five years. President/CEO Phil Morelli said the company is a family business, with his son Michael and wife Sandy also involved. Morelli previously worked for Honda of Bowie. “We are really, really excited about being there,” Morelli said of the new location. Grading is expected to begin in several days and a groundbreaking ceremony in several weeks. The dealership will be built in two phases. The first will be an 18,000-square-foot combined showroom and 10-bay service facility on the front two acres of the prop-
erty. On the other side of the Three Notch Trail right-of-way is five acres that will eventually hold a separate building with additional service bays. The first phase will include a car wash. The back five acres was the subject of two public hearings, July 24 and 26, for a change in the county’s Comprehensive Water and Sewer Plan to allow for immediate central water service from the Metropolitan Commission. The planning commission July 24 approved the change. The Department of Land Use and Growth Management held the record open for 10 days after the July 26 administrative hearing on behalf of the county commissioners. There was no public comment at either hearing. Morelli said the new facility will be the most up-to-date, high-tech facility that Nissan offers. It is called a NReady 2.0 facility (see accompanying rendering). The new dealership is expected to employ 35 people. It will be called Nissan of Lexington Park. Morelli said Nissan of Lexington Park will not only sell passenger vehicles, but also will have a commercial line. He said he is especially excited about offering the new Titan truck to the residents of the area. The closest Nissan dealership to St. Mary’s County has been Sheehy Nissan of Waldorf. dickmyers@countytimes.net

Crash Victims Claim Millions Sheriff’s Office Incident Report in Medical Bills By Guy Leonard Staff Writer
The victims of a Mechanicsville crash in which the alleged at-fault driver has been charged with multiple counts of assault and driving under the influence of either drugs or alcohol, say they have incurred medical expenses in the millions of dollars over nearly a year of difficult recovery. “The medical bills from the accident are totaling well over $3 million dollars and stem from so many injuries, plenty of which we will never fully recover from,” Christopher Kalnasy, one of the crash victims told The County Times. “It angers and saddens us all that our lives will never be the same and future dreams crushed all from obeying the law and sitting at a red light. “We want to thank all of the first responders, hospital personnel, family, friends, and members of the community for helping us make it through this extremely tough time in our lives.” Victoria Gellings, 46, of Mechanicsville faces 27 separate counts in county District Court stemming from the Oct. 28 incident in which she crashed her vehicle into the
truck carrying husband and wife Christopher and Angela Kalnasy, Katelyn Kalnasy and Michael Flores as they sat at a red light at the intersection of Three Notch Road and Mechanicsville Road. The counts include four counts of second-degree assault, multiple counts of causing life threatening injury while impaired while operating a vehicle or boat and driving under the influence of alcohol or controlled dangerous substances. Christopher Kalnasy has already filed a civil suit in St. Mary’s Circuit Court seeking damages from both Gellings and his insurance carrier, which he claims refuses to pay out money due from a policy Kalnasy held in case of an incident with an underinsured driver. According to reports from the sheriff’s office immediately after the crash, Gellings was traveling southbound on Three Notch Road when “for unknown reasons” her car left the roadway, driving off-road until she came to Mechanicsville Road and collided with the truck carrying the four-person party, which was stopped at a red light. guyleonard@countytimes.net

Latham, Pilkerton Lead Youth Movement at Potomac By Doug Watson Potomac Speedway During my near three decade tenure at Southern Maryland›s Potomac Speedway, I have witnessed many drivers cut their racing teeth and the tricky three-eights mile oval. The likes of Jamie Lathroum, David Williams and Kenny Moreland, just to name a few, all have done quite well at Potomac and were also able to reach stardom at other venues as their career’s progressed. Entering the 2017 season I’ve had my eye on two young drivers, who both moved up a class, and reached success in their respective new adventures, Jeremy Pilkerton and Mikey Latham. Both of these second-generation wheelmen both got their start in Potomac’s entry level U-Car class and were quite productive during their tenure with the class. Jeremy Pilkerton is the son of Jeff Pilkerton, a name synonymous to Potomac Speedway. The elder Pilkerton was a 4-time champion in the tracks old Semi-Late class and was also the tracks Late Model champion in 1999. Jeff has scored 50-career Potomac feature wins and still currently competes in the Crate Late Model class. Mikey’s father, Mike Latham, was last year’s Street Stock champion and has col-
lected 51 feature wins in the class, with three of those victories coming this season. After four feature wins and a runner up in the U-Car points in 2015 Jeremy Pilkerton moved up to the Street Stock ranks in 2016. Even though he was unable to win a feature, his consistency rewarded him with a second-place finish in the final point tally. His season would be quite different as Jeremy scored his first win in the faster class in April and would add two more with five races remaining for the class this season. “I came into this season having something to prove.” Said Pilkerton. “This season has been far greater than I ever expected and I cannot believe I am running competitively week in and week out with the likes of Mike Latham, Kyle Nelson and Ed Pope Jr.” Jeremy has quite a coach in his corner as his father Jeff is there every step of the way. “I can’t say enough about my dad.” Jeremy bottom lined. “He has taught me absolutely everything about racing from working on the cars and the importance of sportsmanship. Without him I wouldn’t be the driver or young man I am today.” Mikey Latham stayed with the U-Car class for one final season in 2016. Mikey would rack up 7 feature wins and leave the class as the all-time winner with 18 victories. In arguably Potomac›s most
competitive class, the Hobby Stocks, is where the younger Latham would start the new season. In just his 7th ever start with the faster class, Mikey parked the family owned no.78 in victory lane. Proving the win was no fluke, Mikey scored again this past weekend in a dramatic last lap win over former class champion Jonathan Raley, proving that he is no longer a rookie. “I feel that this season is the best outcome it could be for being in a new car.” Mikey stated. “I’m glad to finally be in a rear wheel drive car because that’s what most cars out there are and It feels good to drive something different.” Proud father Mike Latham’s advice and support have been invaluable in Mikey’s learning curve.”My father taught me that sometimes when you’re leading a race it’s better to be smooth than fast, and that’s how I won my first Hobby Stock race.” Said Mikey. “I know for a fact that I wouldn’t be successful if it weren’t for my dad teaching me everything I know about racing.” The 30-lap Late Model feature at a little over 8 minutes and the 20-lap Crate Late Model feature, which was run in just under 6 minutes, both established track records in each division. After engine trouble hampered his debut at Winchester the week prior, Jamie Lathroum took the power plant
out of his MasterSbilt no.6 and utilized it in his Sommey Lacey owned Rocket XR-1 no.45 and would produce a 5th in the Late Model main. After suffering an arm injury earlier in the season, former Crate Late Model champion John Imler, made his return to competition where he would steer his BRC Lazer no.63 to a 12th in the divisions main. Logan Roberson’s Crate Late Model win was the 8th of his Potomac career, one win shy of the all-time mark of 9 held by Darin Henderson. Sam Archer (1st & 3rd), Dave Adams (4th & 5th) and Jonathan Raley (2nd twice) were the three drivers to score top fives in both Hobby Stock events. Defending track champion Sam Archer holds a healthy 152 point lead over Buddy Dunagan in the season standings with just 5 point races remaining on the schedule. This was just the 8th of 15 scheduled shows this season at Potomac, as rain has taken the other seven. Pennsylvania native Michelle Walls made her first ever Potomac start on Friday. Competing with the Street Stocks, Walls acclimated quickly to the racy Potomac surface and would steer her no.1 to a 4th in the divisions 16-lap feature.

Eight home matches at Seahawk Stadium highlight the 2017 St. Mary’s College of Maryland men’s soccer schedule as released by seventh-year head coach Alun Oliver ‘04. This year’s competitive lineup features 17 regular-season contests, including a conference matchup with Christopher Newport University who advanced to the second round of the 2016 NCAA Division III Men’s Soccer Championship Tournament and finished ranked 21st in the final postseason rankings released by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America. Eight opponents will be making the trek to Seahawk Stadium this season, including Oglethorpe University (Sept. 9) and Bridgewater (Va.) College (Sept. 10) for the annual Seahawk Classic and defending Capital Athletic Conference champion, Christopher Newport, on October 11. The season opens up on the road at the Elmer Lord Memorial Classic (Sept. 1-2) hosted by Salisbury University, facing Gettysburg College and Capital (Ohio) University. Gettysburg was ranked No. 9 in the final NSCAA Mid-Atlantic regional poll while Capital received votes in the final Great Lakes regional poll. After taking on Washington College (Sept. 5) in its home-opener, St. Mary’s hosts the Seahawk Classic before traveling south to battle The Catholic University of America (Sept. 14) and Randolph-
Macon College (Sept. 16). The Seahawks will then welcome former Seahawk men’s soccer head coach and Oliver’s mentor, Eric Wagner, to Seahawk Stadium when Swarthmore College (Sept. 17) comes to town. The Seahawks kick off league action at home on September 23 against Penn State Harrisburg before closing out the month of September at Frostburg State University (Sept. 30). A two-match road trip opens up October at Salisbury (Oct. 4) and Marymount (Va.) University (Oct. 7) before coming back home to square off against CNU on the 11th. After visiting Buena Vista, Va. for a contest at Southern Virginia University (Oct. 14), St. Mary’s hosts University of Mary Washington (Oct. 18) and Wesley College (Oct. 21) in a two-game home-stand. Their regular-season finale will be at York College of Pennsylvania on October 25. The CAC Tournament begins October 28 with first round action followed by the semifinals on November 1 and the championship game on November 4. The Seahawks finished the 2016 campaign with a 12-4-2 (6-2-1 CAC) overall record, marking the third-most wins in program history. It’s just the second-time ever St. Mary’s has notched a dozen victories. Third-seeded St. Mary’s dropped a heartbreaking 1-0 decision to sixth-seeded York College of Pennsylvania in the first round of the CAC Tournament. nmoran@smcm.edu

Their #2 v. Our #2 The careers of Cleveland guard Kyrie Irving and Washington guard John Wall will be forever linked. Fair or unfair, that’s just how it is. The points of intersection are too great; the comparison is too juicy to ignore. Both players attended blueblood institutions – Wall chose Kentucky, Irving went to Duke – and left for the NBA after just one season. Both were number one overall picks in the NBA Draft - Wall (2010) and Irving (2011) - and have inked lucrative contract extensions. Both players have been four-time All-Stars. Both players are among the best point guards in the world. Oh…and both wear number 2. Similar? Yes. Identical? No. The differences… While Wall and Irving are both point guards, their styles are unique. Wall is a traditional point guard (a regrettably negative description in this great jump shot era). He orchestrates offense through masterful ball distribution. Wall can score as required, but he thinks pass first. His court vision is arguably the best; he inarguably makes his teammates better (and a whole lot richer: see Bradley Beal and Otto Porter). Irving has a little Allen Iverson in him. He’s a better pure shooter than Iverson, but his offensive mentality is identical: score. Pass? Well, sure… but only as necessary. Wall’s and Irving’s impressive individual career statistics illustrate this contrast. Wall’s averaged 18.8 points and 9.2 assists per game; Irving’s countered with 21.6 points and 5.5 assists per game. Pick your style. Toe-may-toe; Toemah-toe. A finely crafted IPA or a porter. The Beatles or the Rolling Stones. Splendid either way. But there’s a non-basketball difference between these two and it surfaced on the same day last week: Irving has a little drama in him…Wall not so much. In his first three seasons, Irving’s Cavs won 21, 24 and 33 games. In the last three, Cleveland’s recorded 53, 57 and 51 wins, appeared in three NBA Finals and won a NBA championship. The change coincided with LeBron James’s return to Cleveland. Yet despite the success realized from the James partnership, Irving requested that the Cavs trade him last week. Why? Irving is fatigued by being Robin to James’s Batman and desires a new team where he can play alphadog and receive the credit he feels he’s deserved. Never mind that James, at
age 32, is likely in decline and may leave Cleveland after this season – all things that would offer Irving the leading role he covets…in Cleveland. And the timing – after the draft, after free agency – was just awful. It drips of impulsiveness and is saturated with self-interest. In other words, Irving threw the latest NBA version of a two-year-old fit. Conversely, just hours after Irving’s trade request made headlines, Wall signed a four-year extension with the Wizards. Wall is staying put and trying to build something that Washington hasn’t had since 1978: a NBA champion. He’s pursuing his careerdefining ring and writing his legacy organically: no team hopping, no trade demands, no drama. Instead of shunning Washington because of all it isn’t, Wall is committed to elevating D.C. - a post-disco era third-world NBA town - to basketball’s pinnacle. And Wall’s making that commitment in his typical all-business, no bull---- style: It’s as if Wall’s never seen a daytime soap, is unfamiliar with Susan Lucci and is disgusted by hysterical, tearless faux-cries. Considering recent team history, Wall, not Irving, should be seeking professional asylum from his current employer. But that’s not Wall’s style. Putting the money aside (it’s so inevitably crazy for NBA stars that it’s irrelevant), Wall’s decision to remain with Washington – a team that needs him more than he needs it - indicates that our #2 values being synonymous with one team and one city and endearing himself to one fan base. In other words, Wall doesn’t just value fame, advancing his “brand” and chasing titles, he values something that’s all but lost in major sports today: loyalty. So while Cleveland deals with chaos in the wake of Irving’s drama-bomb, consider, and appreciate, the calm surrounding the Wizards. Consider and appreciate John Wall, a man who has determined that the greenest grass grows beneath his feet. Send comments to: RonaldGuyJr@gmail.com

The Tackle Box Fishing Report By Ken and Linda Lamb Contributing Writers Spanish mackerel and bluefish are in the ship’s channel from Hooper’s Island Light to Smith Point. Cobia are in the bay south of Tangier Island in good numbers. There are smaller size and numbers on the lumps below the Target ship, on the Middle Grounds, and in the Mud Leads. Both chummers and trollers are getting cobia in all the lower bay, but the ratio of catchers to non-catchers is
about 10 to one. Rockfish are back in the shallows for lure casters in the Potomac and Patuxent in the early morning. Poppers, swimming lures, and bucktails all work. Late evenings are good too. The rain last week and somewhat cooler temperatures since seems to have stimulated the rock. Many are 26 to 30 inches. Spot, perch and croaker are all biting in the deeper holes in the Patuxent and Potomac. Bottom fishing continues to be excellent. Falling tides seem to be best.
Cobia caught on Captain Kyle Johnson’s charter boat Rock Solid.

Blue Crabs Rally Late to Split Series The Southern Maryland Blue Crabs (8-8) were victorious in the series finale against the Bridgeport Bluefish (10-7) 9-4, rallying in the ninth to win the game. Southern Maryland fell behind early in the matchup, as they looked to win the game and finish the series with a split. Gaby Hernandez allowed a lead-off single to D’Arby Myers, who stole second and advanced to third on a flyball. Myers came in from third on a groundout from Jose Cuevas, opening the scoring on the afternoon. The Blue Crabs were able to respond with a run of their own in the third on a solo homerun from Edwin Garcia. Both teams were scoreless for the next two innings, before the Blue Crabs added two more runs, taking their first lead of the day off Mike Aquilino. Garcia walked to start the inning, advancing to scoring position on a one-out single from Michael Snyder. Cory Vaughn followed with a single, scoring Garcia from second to take the lead. After a walk to L.J. Hoes, Aquilino was lifted from the game with the bases loaded and one out. Frank Dejiulio Jr. took over, immediately allowing a sacrifice fly, scoring Snyder and putting the Blue Crabs ahead 3-1. Hernandez continued strong on the mound, allowing just four hits through his first seven innings of work. He finally ran into trouble in the eighth, sacrificing the lead in the inning. Sean Burroughs started the inning with a single, before an error at third put two men aboard. Two batters later, a hit-by-pitch loaded the bases with one out in the inning. A strikeout picked up out number two, before Hernandez walked Daniel Fields, cutting the lead to just one run. Jose
Gil followed with a bases-loaded single, scoring two runs and putting Bridgeport ahead 4-3. Zack Thornton (1-1) was then brought in from the bullpen, picking Fields off of second to finally end the inning. The Bluefish turned their new one-run advantage to their closer Elvin Ramirez. Ramirez picked up two quick outs, before everything fell apart in the inning for Bridgeport. A single from Zach Cone started the rally, before Garcia doubled him in, tying the game. Zach Wilson followed with a single, scoring Garcia to retake the lead. Two more singles came next, scoring Wilson for an insurance run. After L.J. Hoes was hit by a pitch to load the bases, an error in right field emptied promptly emptied the bases, scoring all three runners to take a 9-4 advantage to the bottom of the ninth. Cody Eppley came on to shut down the game, working a quick 1-2-3 inning for Southern Maryland. The 9-4 win ended a two-game skid for the Blue Crabs, and secured a split in the four-game road series. The Blue Crabs return to action Tuesday, July 25th, for the series opener of the fourgame series against the Somerset Patriots. The Blue Crabs will head to TD Bank Ballpark to face the First-Half Liberty Division Champions. First pitch is scheduled for 7:05 P.M. on Tuesday.

The Nicolet Basketball Association Brings Positivity to Nicolet Park As the Nicolet Basketball Associations’ 2017 Summer League season approaches the end, we would like to take the time to reflect on the positivity at Nicolet Park located in Lexington Park, Md. The “NBA” players, staff and fans are anxiously awaiting our Playoffs, Championship, and Invitational games to bring the season to an end. This summer was full of exciting basketball games with lots of slam dunks, 3-point fadeaway shots, and overtime game winning free throws, from our 12 teams of 120 players from the Lexington Park Community and surrounding cities. The roster was loaded with collegiate, semi-pro, and elite athletes from our area. The players were able to showcase their talents to their families, friends, and local fans. Our “NBA” fans, which numbered in the hundreds each game, were able to join in on the fun and had the opportunity to come out and show their support to the players by cheering them on and sweating it out with us. The fans also brought bottled water and ice for the players each game. We came together as a community and showed the world, via Facebook Live and other social media sites, how a city can come together as one for the love of the game. The “NBA” is about more than just basketball, it’s about
bringing the community together and providing something else better to do, than the local Detention Center. We have people from the community that volunteer their time each year to help referee, coach, and assist in making each season a success. The “NBA” will continue to strive forward with this mission each summer for years to come. Within the next 3 weeks, we will conclude our season with our Single Elimination Playoff games on August 5th , 11am -5pm and August 10th, 5pm-8pm and our Championship game will be held on August 12th at 5pm. We will be ending our season with our 1st Annual Nicolet Basketball Association Invitational on August 19th at 5pm, which will also include a 3-Point Shootout and a Dunk Contest. All Nicolet Basketball Association games will continue to be held at Nicolet Park and will continue to be free to the public.
The Nicolet Basketball Association’s playoff season is coming up, but operators of the association say it was a successful community endeavor that brought together 12 teams for a total of 120 players.
We would also like to thank the local businesses for donating hotel stays, free haircuts, gift baskets, and gift cards. And a special thank you to our sponsor, Showtime Deli, for believing in and supporting the league and our community. If you would like to volunteer, donate or sponsor a player or team, please contact John Duckett at 240-434-8249 or johnd_coachup@yahoo.com. From John Duckett, Nicolet Basketball Association
The league received strong community support from hotels, businesses and restaurants in the Lexington Park community.

Hoyer Announces Fourth Annual Congressional App Challenge Today, Congressman Steny H. Hoyer (MD-05) announced the launch of the fourth annual Congressional App Challenge for high school students in Maryland’s Fifth Congressional District. Established by the U.S. House of Representatives in 2013, the Congressional App Competition is a nationwide event that invites students from all Congressional districts to compete, either individually or in a group of up to four, by creating and presenting an original software application, or “app,” for a mobile, tablet, or computer platform of their choice. The contest, modeled off the long-successful Congressional Art Competition, is designed to promote innovation and engagement in the STEM education fields. “I am delighted to launch the fourth annual App Challenge, an exciting opportunity for students in the Fifth District to showcase their programming capabilities,” said Congressman Hoyer. “The Congressional App Challenge is an excellent opportunity for students to get hands-on experience testing and building apps. With computer scientists in high demand in Maryland and across the country, we must do everything we can to encourage students to explore the field of computer science, and work to eliminate shortages of high quality candidates. I look forward
to seeing the work produced by students in the Fifth District.” The Congressional App Challenge is open to all high school students who live in or are eligible to attend public schools located in Maryland’s Fifth Congressional District. Students entering the competition must submit source code along with a YouTube or VIMEO video that explains and demonstrates their app and what they learned through the competition process. The final deadline for submissions for the 2017 competition is November 1, 2017. Students are encouraged to register and begin work on their projects as soon as possible. Students are also encouraged to chronicle their progress on social media using the hashtag #CAC17. The winning individual or team will be recognized at an awards ceremony with Congressman Hoyer, featured on Hoyer.House.gov and CongressionalAppChallenge.us, and the winning app will be placed on display in the U.S. Capitol alongside winners from across the country. More details on registering, submitting a contest entry, the rules of the competition, and helpful programming resources can be found here or at CongressionalAppChallenge.us.

Fritz To Seek Murder Charges for Fatal Overdoses
Photo by Frank Marquart State’s Attorney Richard Fritz
By Guy Leonard Staff Writer State’s Attorney Richard Fritz wants the chance to bring harsher penalties against drug dealers whose sales lead to fatal overdoses in his bid for a sixth term as the county’s chief prosecutor. “We’re getting ready to turn up the heat big time,” Fritz, 70, told The County Times. “For fatal overdoses we’ll be seeking convictions for second-degree depraved heart murder.

Annual WWII USO Remembrance Set for Aug. 4 The 10th Annual WWII USO Remembrance (USO Night) will be held Friday, August 4, from 6 to 9 p.m., in Solomons at the riverwalk pavilion. The public is invited to this USO style celebration hosted by the Circle of Angels Initiative, Inc. Enjoy local celebrities SPAMtime T/5 Vince “SPAM” Turner and PFC Vincent “Bubba” Turner as they reenact a 1942 radio broadcast featuring “Music and Memories of 1942,” an era well known for its jump and jive music. Honor a loved one by naming them as you throw rose petals into the waters of the Patuxent River during the wreath laying ceremony. In an ironic twist of history, on the first Friday in August, August 7, 1942, the first invasion was in the Pacific Solomon Islands after training on Solomons Island, MD. The first European invasion was at Normandy on Tuesday, June 6, 1944. Solomons was home to the “cradle of invasion,” the WWII top-secret amphibious training base for the invasion of Europe and Japanese-held Pacific islands. The United Services Organization or USO began with citizens who served coffee and donuts to soldiers passing through their towns. USO Night is an event held to honor those who trained at WWII Solomon Island, especially those who never returned to their families. In WWII, our uniformed troops went from Solomons to the Pacific and Europe. The Circle of Angels carries on the tradition so people may honor the sacrifices of those who served in uniform and on the Homefront and so

Making Midcentury Modern
by Christopher Kennedy, foreword by Barclay Butera By Terri Schlichenmeyer

Starting today, you can go home (home!), shut the door, and know that it’s all yours. So how do you reflect your style in this home you love? Begin with “Making Midcentury Modern” by Christopher Kennedy. When he was a young lad, Kennedy’s parents taught him the proper ways to a well-mannered life: his mother made him write thank-you notes, and she taught him how to “make a good first impression,” while his father advised him to “live each day to the fullest.” Those lessons were learned in “simpler, more gracious times.” Kennedy insists it’s not nostalgia that makes him love interior design from that period. Instead, he just likes the trend, and he doesn’t see it “slowing down any time soon.” In this book, he shows how you can include Midcentury Modern into your home, even if it was built last month. You can start in the entrance. Those first impressions matter when it comes to a home, says Ken-
nedy. Paint your front door in a Midcentury Modern color to welcome guests warmly. On the topic of colors, Midcentury Modern isn’t shy. Orange is the “caffeine of the color wheel,” and it really pops. Think pink (Mamie Eisenhower’s favorite color), turquoise, white, red, or any shade of blue. Don’t just color walls, though; be bold with furniture, rugs, and accessories. Pillows in out-there colors are inexpensive ways to dip your toe into the design. Know the “secret to a beautiful and easy-to-make bed” – and for guest rooms, consider twin beds. Go ahead and mix metals, bring childhood treasures out for display, and recall Mom’s kitchen or bathroom for ideas. Take your indoors, outdoors, weather permitting. Pare down; Midcentury Modern isn’t cluttered (so on that note, hide your TV). And finally, have fun. “Above all,” Kennedy says, “never take your home… too seriously.” Sometimes, it’s easy to feel indecision or paralysis, when it comes to décor. What if you make a mistake? What if you have “Making Midcentury Modern”? With 100 easy-to-use (and surpris-
ingly budget-friendly) tips, author Christopher Kennedy gives readers the inspirational boost they need to make a home dazzle. You’ll see how simple color will transform a house’s entire look, and where cherished possessions can become unusual displays. Kennedy fully admits that many of his favorite pieces were discovered online or at thrift stores, an idea that’s somehow very delicious. And pillows? Pile ‘em on! The one criticism I have with this book isn’t with the information – it’s with getting that information: the font color against color can be very difficult to read. White print on a yellow background, for example, is nearly hidden. It’s a design flaw in a design book. Go figure. That’s not insurmountable, though: there are photos enough to make this coffee-table book a can’t-miss full of fun. If you need your house to feel groovier no matter when it was constructed, “Making Midcentury Modern” may be key. c.2017, Gibbs Smith $35.00 / $50.00 Canada 198 pages

Judge Edmund Key, born 1770 in St. Mary’s County and died February 19, 1857 in Prince George’s County, MD. He was the son of Thomas Key (1736-1772) and Jane Llewellen (1750-before 1808) and grandson of Philip Key and Susanna Gardiner. Statement by Edmund Key (son of Hobart Key and Mary Hill and grandson of Judge Edmund Key): My Grandfather was Judge Edmund Key, of St. Mary’s and Prince George’s County, Maryland. I was at his home in Prince George’s County at time of his death, March, 1857--his body was carried to St. Mary’s County and buried in the Key family vault under Chaptico Church. He was Circuit Judge of St. Mary’s, Prince George’s and Charles Counties, from 1806 until 1846. My Grandfather’s home place, Magoonscin, is now owned by my sons, Hobart and Edmund. Judge Edmund Key married first a Miss Potts of Pennsylvania (Ruth Ann Potts)-his second wife was Margaret Johns Mackall… (During the War of 1812, the body of Ruth Ann Potts was removed from the Key Vault at Chaptico by British forces, and the corpse was abused and left on the grounds). Hobart Key, my father, was eldest son of Judge Edmund Key and Margaret Johns Mackall--he left Maryland at an early age-came to Van Buren, Arkansas, in 1839-was in mercantile business at Van Buren and Fayetteville, 1841-43. Established as successful merchant at Marshall, Texas, 1844-45 to 1855--married February 20th, 1850, Mary Hill… While returning from a business visit to New Orleans, he died

at Epps Stage Station of cholera, May 31, 1855. He left his widow and two children, a son, Edmund, the writer of this memo, and daughter, Mary Hobart, who m. J. D. Crawford. My father’s brothers, Richard Henry and Llewellyn, came to Texas and were associated with my father in business at Marshall--after my father’s death, were merchants at Gilmer, Texas. Richard entered the Confederate army at beginning of the War between the North and South--member of Maryland Legion Cavalry--Capt. Emack Co.--was wounded in Kilpatrick raid around Richmond and died in a Richmond Hospital. Llewellyn, named for his father’s mother, died at my mother’s home in Marshall, 1858--is buried in the Key lot in Marshall Cemetery. My Mother, Mary Hill Key, died October 18th, 1908, in the home to which she came in 1851. She is buried in the Key lot in Marshall Cemetery. My sister, Mary Hobart Crawford, died December 1st, 1919, and is buried in Greenwood Cemetery, Marshall. She had lived all of her life in the house in which she was born. I began as a merchant on my own account in 1873--as a private banker in 1877, of the firm Garrett-Key, in Marshall--in 1884 organized the First National Bank of Marshall, of which one-half the Capital Stock owned by me--was cashier from organization to 1891--since then have been and am now President… To be continued.

The Sounds of Revitalization
Tap, tap, tap, bzzzz, bzzzz, bzzzz. I love these sounds – the sound of hammers and drills. Some people may go nuts or have to leave when their homes are being worked on, but as for me, I love it. I must be a hard core picture framer at heart since I LOVE the sound of all tools, and enjoy the feel of them when working on a project. Oh, and get me around the smell of fresh cut wood, and I am in Heaven. Today, we have a crew from locally owned Jerry Lewis Roofing getting rid of the old gutters and soffits around the house. When you see green plants springing up through the gutter and a black snake crawling up the side of your house and disappearing around a gutter, it is time for the work to be done. This has been a wish list project for my husband for quite a while. Jerry Lewis did a great, fast job replacing our roof a few years back, and recently, nicely completed a roof project for my oldest son, so we knew they would do another great job on this project. I can tune out the work noises easily, similar to “tuning out” my sons when they would fight in their younger years, or when my husband starts talking about bills, and lights, and such. It is not a problem for me. Of course, every once in a while, Mindy has taken to a fit of howling and barking as she sees the workmen walking around and climbing up the ladders. It is a little disconcerting, I must admit, to be sitting
here typing in the office, and see legs going up on a ladder next to you. The only living things that seemed to be really bothered by the tapping and bzzzzing are the mad little house sparrows. I believe they just became evicted from our gutters and soffits. They are making quite a racket out there and angrily hopping around all over the upper deck. A Wiki description seems very apt for these ornery little creatures: “The House Sparrow has driven birds like the Bluebird and Purple Martin from areas where they were once common. House Sparrows nest in bird boxes, tree holes and in almost any nook or cranny of a building. They are aggressive fighters and will evict ANY nesting bird from a cavity to take over the site.” Once these sparrows call a place home they get very attached to it. I had them try repeatedly to make a nest under my toaster oven in my old shop. I used to love to keep the back-door open, and they would brazenly fly right past my head to bring in items for their nest. I would gently take it all back out and find a tree in which to put the nesting materials, and they would bring it all back in. I can just imagine what they are doing to the workmen. Come to think of it, I don’t hear any tool noises for the moment, hoping the sparrows haven’t watched any Hitchcock movies lately. Is there ever a time when a house isn’t in need of a project? It does seem that we finally have the swamp gas smell taken care of. If you remember, for the last few years, we have had this awful smell come up from the tank (a Methane-Hydrochloride mixture of some kind that all the plumbers said was very toxic for us) every time we took showers, washed clothes, or used water at all. Each plumber found problems with the original plumbing on the house and made things a little better, but the last plumber seems to have taken care of the problem altogether. All gases are getting vented out properly out of the roof vent. Uh oh! That just made me realize why the workers may have stopped making noise – I better go check on them and make sure they haven’t been swamp-gassed out!
