Plan Calls For Independent Feds Still Investigating Sex Tourism Agency By Guy Leonard Staff Writer
A new draft master plan states that the county should take its Tourism Division and transition it into a non-profit agency to better handle the local tourism and hospitality sector of the economy. The Tourism and Hospitality Master Plan is part of the county government’s overall effort to find ways to diversify the local economy away from sole dependence on the U.S. Navy’s activities. Members of the committee who promulgated the new master plan want to create a foundation, with them leading it, to assist in the transition to a non-profit entity, according to a letter sent to the Commissioners of St. Mary’s County. The plan also calls for the county government to fund the non-profit commensurate with the annual accommodation
tax collection and to extend the contract of the consultant who assisted in drafting the plan. The non-profit would receive oversight from the Department of Economic Development, according to the missive from the committee members. “A separate entity would have the flexibility in staffing and compensation and the ability to rapidly meet the changing needs of the organization,” the letter reads. “A non-profit would also be more agile in terms of purchasing and contracting for services.” The members who want to begin the transition are Regina Faden, director of Historic St. Mary’s City, Phil Langley, a local charter boat captain, Nancy Easterling, director at Sotterley Plantation, Jim Grube, of Slack Winery and Kim Aus of Hilton hotels. guyleonard@countytimes.net
Nolan Scully Made Honorary Texas Sergeant
By Guy Leonard Staff Writer
When Det. Scott Jackson of the San Antonio Police Department heard of the plight of Nolan Scully, the 4-year-old local boy who captured the hearts of thousands with his fight against cancer, he wanted to find a way to honor him and console his family. The news of Scully’s fight, and eventual passing, made it all the way into the local news in San Antonio and at first the story was so sad, he couldn’t continue to read it. But he soon began an effort to honor one of Scully’s final wishes, to be remembered as a police officer; he soon got permission from his superiors to have Scully made an honorary sergeant in his police department. “I wanted to help the family,” Jackson said. “I really just wanted to make this gesture.” But for Capt. Steve Hall of the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office, the proclamation and the accompanying shadow box were not enough, so he reached out and convinced Jackson and his wife, also
a member of the San Antonio department, to come stay at the Harry Lundberg School of Seamanship to make a surprise presentation to Scully’s family on what would have been the boy’s 5th birthday Sept. 9 at Fitzie’s Marina. “He was haunted by this boy’s story,” Hall said of Jackson’s need to reach out. Jackson said he had seen people close to him suffer and die from the same kind of cancer that afflicted Scully. Jackson was taken aback by the welcome he received from the family and from the sheriff’s office in bringing he and his wife here. Scully’s nurses who took care of him during his cancer fight were at the celebration as well. “They made us feel like family when we got there,” Jackson said of the welcome to St. Mary’s. Sheriff Timothy K. Cameron said Scully would be remembered for how he touched people’s hearts. “This is a great story about a little boy who inspired our hearts forever, especially in our public safety family,” said Cameron. guyleonard@countytimes.net
Assaults at St. Mary’s College By Guy Leonard Staff Writer
Back in 2015 St. Mary’s College was named as one of more than 100 colleges around the nation who were suspected of violations of federally mandated Title IX rules, which prohibit sexual discrimination, particularly sexual assaults. Of the five sexual assaults under investigation by the Office of Civil Rights, part of the Department of Education, only one has been resolved, officials at the college confirmed to The County Times. According to a website which tracks such cases around the country, Title IX The Chronicles of Higher Education, the resolved case started in June of 2012 and finished almost exactly a year later. The other four cases were opened in February and March of 2015, according to the site. These assaults are not the only ones that have allegedly occurred at the college. The college reported the allegations of a sexual assault that occurred in a campus residence Sept. 3. The college stated in a release to the campus community that the victim and the alleged aggressor did not know each other; the assailant was described as a white male, tall, slim with short dark, wavy brown hair. This assault, along with a sexual assault reported to have occurred in November of 2016 at a college townhouse, were not reported to the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office. A sexual assault was also reported on Sept. 10 of 2016, again not to the county sheriff’s office, and was referred to the college’s Title IX office for investigation. Michael Dunn, the college’s Title IX coordinator, said the college is working closely to resolve the sexual assault
investigations with the Office of Civil Rights, and is required by the Cleary Act to keep sexual assaults confidential from law enforcement unless the victim in the case wished to report it. The college does report “redacted and aggregate” information with law enforcement about such assaults, Dunn stated. “It’s worth noting that policies that would require a school to automatically report sexual assaults to police could deter people from coming forward, since the victim/survivor would have no control over what happened next,” Dunn wrote in a prepared statement. “In addition, many victims/survivors are reluctant to report to law enforcement, due in part to fears of escalated violence, the lack of prosecution and conviction in sexual violence cases and cultural attitudes that may blame the victim in a sexual assault.” Sheriff Timothy K. Cameron said he understood the fears victims may have about lax prosecutions and retaliation, but the reality in St. Mary’s County from a law enforcement perspective was the opposite. “That doesn’t characterize what happens here in St. Mary’s County,” Cameron said noting the “vigorous prosecution by the state’s attorney’s office and sensitive way in which victims are dealt with.” The current constraints of law under which Cameron had to operate with regards to sex assaults on campus represented a conundrum as a police officer, he said. “The victim has the right to make that decision and I respect that,” Cameron told The County Times. “What I worry about is not only that there is a victim of a heinous crime but that the suspect could do it to someone else.” guyleonard@countytimes.net

When School Superintendent Scott Smith and School Board Chair Karen Bailey came to the Commissioners of St. Mary’s County with a plan to improve their facilities for housing their critical information technology (IT) department by leasing office space to move around staff, a tense situation ensued. Commissioners Mike Hewitt and Todd Morgan both took turns decrying the leasing of property by the school board of office space on Moakley Street close by the board’s headquarters building. The move is part of a plan to move IT staff rom the Bethune property in the 7th District, which school officials say is outdated and inadequate to meet the needs of the systems growing technology needs for students and classrooms, into a renovated set of offices at the Department of School Services in Loveville. Support services staff are, in turn, to be moved to the newly leased office space on Moakley Street. The cost of the lease will be about $500,000 over a five-year period and the commissioners became upset when they learned the school board took on the lease without consulting them. The options for the Bethune building were either to renovate it or demolish it. Commissioners postponed a decision on that until both Commissioners Tom Jarboe, who called in by phone, and John O’Connor could be in attendance next week to make a final decision. Hewitt called the lease agreement “a waste of money.” “This isn’t an endless pot of money
we’re dealing with here,” Morgan chided. Bailey was quick to point out that the commissioners and school board had spoken in past months about leasing space and that the project for Bethune, at a cost of $3 million, has been on the county construction plan since 2009. She said the plan had been presented to commissioners back in July but Hewitt said the apparent new plan was not something he was aware of. “That’s new information to Mike Hewitt,” Hewitt said. He went on to say that while the plan may have been communicated to Commissioner President Randy Guy and County Administrator, Dr. Rebecca Bridgitthe had not received the same courtesy. He also claimed that it was difficult to get in touch with anyone at the school board’s offices. Smith said Hewitt has his cell phone number and could call him anytime. “I’d like to see what the public gets when they try to contact you,” Hewitt said. “And that’s the runaround.” Smith said the important issue was to ensure the integrity of the system’s IT office. “We have to move forward,” Smith told commissioners. “I can’t wait for a critical failure and I can’t wait for someone to file a lawsuit for an unsafe work environment. “It can’t remain at Bethune.” At the end of the discussion Guy said he had shared all the information he had with other commissioners on the project. “Pointing me and Dr. Bridgett out, I take exception to that,” Guy said. guyleonard@countytimes.net
Attorney General Frosh Warns Consumers about Purchasing Flood-Damaged Cars Maryland Attorney General Brian E. Frosh today warned consumers to be cautious of purchasing vehicles that may have been impacted by major flood damage. After hurricanes with large-scale floods like Harvey and Irma, flood-damaged cars often end up at salvage auctions and bought by rebuilders. While these vehicles should be marked “salvage” or “total loss” on the title, dishonest sellers may “wash” the title, hide the damage, and offer these vehicles for sale. “Consumers purchasing a used car after a hurricane should always be wary that the vehicle may be irreparably damaged and not the good deal it appears to be,” said Attorney General Frosh. Signs of a flooded vehicle may include: · A musty odor in the interior, which might be covered with a strong air-freshener; · Upholstery or carpeting which is loose, stained, doesn’t match, is new or is
damp; · Rust around doors, under the dashboard, on the pedals or inside the hood and trunk latches; · Mud or silt in the glove compartment or under the seats; · Brittle wires under the dashboard; and/or · Fog or moisture beads in the interior or exterior lights, or instrument panel. Attorney General Frosh advises consumers to follow these tips to protect themselves and avoid purchasing flooddamaged vehicles: Consumers who suspect they may have purchased a flood-damaged vehicle, may file a complaint with the Office of Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Division by visiting www.marylandattorneygeneral.gov.

Governor Hogan Approves FirstNet Communications Plan for First Responders
First-of-its-Kind Solution Will Create Jobs, Modernize Public Safety Communications Across Maryland Governor Larry Hogan today announced Maryland will advance communications for first responders by opting in to the FirstNet and AT&T plan. This stateof-the-art plan will deliver a wireless broadband network to Maryland’s public safety community, allowing for faster, more informed, and better coordinated responses. Through FirstNet’s advanced technologies, Maryland’s first responder subscribers will now have additional resources to help save lives and protect communities. “Keeping Marylanders safe is our top priority, and our first responders need to be equipped with every tool possible to protect our citizens,” said Governor Hogan. “By adopting this plan, our first responders will now have the ability to efficiently and effectively work together not just within the state, but across the region and at the national level.” “This innovative initiative will also spur investment into Maryland’s economy, helping to create jobs and enhance mobile broadband coverage in rural parts of the state,” the governor continued. AT&T, in a public-private partnership with FirstNet, will build, operate, and maintain a highly secure wireless broadband communications network for Maryland’s public safety community at no cost to the state. The FirstNet network will drive innovation and create an entire system of modernized devices, apps, and tools for first responders. FirstNet will transform the way Maryland’s fire,
police, EMS, and other public safety personnel communicate and share information. Specifically, it will: Connect first responder subscribers to the critical information they need in a highly secure manner when handling day-to-day operations, responding to emergencies, and supporting large events like the Preakness. Create an efficient communications experience for public safety personnel in agencies and jurisdictions across the state during natural disasters like 2016’s Winter Storm Jonas that brought record-breaking snowfall and blizzard conditions to the state. Increase public safety coverage across the state and region and connect public safety subscribers nationally, providing modern communications and data sharing, helping to increase the safety of first responders. Enhance and expand network coverage across Maryland’s diverse landscape, to cover areas that are today underserved, benefitting first responders and residents throughout the state’s rural areas. Provide first responders with access to dedicated network assets that can be deployed for additional coverage and support when needed. Drive infrastructure investments and create jobs across the state. FirstNet and AT&T designed Maryland’s network solution with direct input from the state’s public safety community. FirstNet has been meeting with Maryland’s officials and public safety personnel for several
years to address their unique communication needs. These include: Expanding coverage across the state, particularly in the western and lower Eastern Shore. Focusing on the state’s critical infrastructure in preparation for severe weather events. Making solutions available to support the state’s large base of volunteer emergency responders. “FirstNet is honored to serve the State of Maryland – where we launched our nationwide consultation program in 2014,” said FirstNet CEO Mike Poth. “Governor Hogan’s decision will help deliver game-changing technology to first responders throughout Maryland, making communities safer and more secure. FirstNet will continue our partnership with the state to make sure the network delivers the coverage, services and innovation that public safety expects and needs.” The decision enables FirstNet and AT&T to begin creating an entirely new wireless ecosystem for public safety communications. Maryland’s first responder subscribers will have immediate access to quality of service and priority to voice and data across the existing nationwide AT&T LTE network. The administration’s decision to opt-in will enable AT&T to buildout FirstNet in Maryland and begin planning and construction ahead of schedule. This will create a highly secure public safety network for Maryland’s first responder subscribers and provide priority use and preemption on this network.

CSM Signs Lease to Locate Velocity Center in Indian Head Velocity Center Will Support Growth of Region’s Innovation, Technology Opportunities The College of Southern Maryland (CSM) has signed a lease agreement with Triumph Development and Mid Atlantic Development Partners to locate the college’s Velocity Center in Indian Head as a location for innovation and technology workforce development to occur. Describing the Velocity Center as a “truly transformational” time for Southern Maryland, CSM President Dr. Maureen Murphy said, “We’re excited to be able to collaborate and move forward with creating this Velocity Center so near to one of our strategic partners, Indian Head’s Naval Surface Warfare Center. Not only is this an example of leveraging the resources of federal laboratories in Maryland, but also the Velocity Center will provide access to spur invention as we bring together the innovative minds of Indian’s Head’s personnel with the resources through the Entrepreneur and Innovation Institute coupled with the energy of our students.” Previously the location of Ely’s Warehouse, the space on Indian Head Highway is being built out by the Triumph and Mid Atlantic Joint Venture to be transformed into space to be used for classrooms, offices, administration and warehouse space to accommodate the college’s needs. “The CSM Velocity Center is exactly what we want to see in town – jobs, blight removal, higher education, a collaborative partnership with the Navy and more business,” said Indian Head Mayor Brandon Paulin. “Lots of hard work went into this and I just want to thank all those who made this possible. You’re helping revitalize Indian Head and creating a gem here in Charles County.” The idea of the Velocity Center aligns with the strategic
plans of the region’s naval bases — Naval Surface Warfare Center, Indian Head Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technology Division (NSWC/IHEODTD), the Naval Air Warfare center - Aircraft Division (NAWC/AD), the Chesapeake Bay Detachment of the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory — and the State of Maryland Economic Development Commission and Southern Maryland Economic Development plan. “We are excited about partnering with the college on this opportunity in Indian Head,” said Charles McPherson, principal of Mid Atlantic Development. “With more than 3,000 families directly impacted by the Navy base in Indian Head, this is an investment that will help attract jobs to the town and has potential to benefit the county on a much larger scale. CSM and Dr. Murphy have stepped up big for Charles County and this investment will pay dividends as they continue to invest in educational opportunities for our community.” “As a lifelong resident of Charles County, I am excited to be part of making the Velocity Center a reality in the Town of Indian Head,” said Robert Brough, principal of Mid Atlantic Development. “Growing up in the Indian Head area, I remember how active and vibrant the town used to be. The CSM Velocity Center is truly a great step forward to help revitalize the Town of Indian Head.” “Triumph is thrilled at the opportunity to work with Mid Atlantic Development Partners, the College of Southern Maryland and the commuity of Indian Head,” said Triumph’s co-founder, James Fangmeyer. Recently, the college was awarded $500,000 as one of three academic recipients of the Maryland Department of Commerce’s Maryland ENnovation Initiative (MEI), a state program created to spur basic and applied research in scientific and technical fields at the state’s colleges and universities. CSM is the first community college to receive this prestigious award. Through the MEI, CSM received funding to support the college’s Entrepreneur and Innovation Institute (EII) and the expertise required to expand CSM’s technology transfer curriculum; research and identify regional technology transfer opportunities; instill entrepreneurial skills among students, government scientists and businesses; and expand the local entrepreneurial ecosystem and workforce. During the announcement of the state’s award, Murphy said, “These funds will allow the college to create a more sustainable and vibrant innovation ecosystem through public-private partnerships that support and impact the critical and innovative research being conducted at the Navy research labs in Southern Maryland. The Entrepreneur and Innovation Institute will not only support
technology transfer initiatives, but will also enhance the regional and state economic and workforce development expansion.” Specifically the funding is being used by CSM to attract and retain world-class instructors to grow the current innovation and entrepreneurial ecosystem at a newly envisioned Velocity Center. CSM’s Velocity Center will provide resources for a variety of activities related to entrepreneurship, innovation and workforce development and retention. The initial facility will grow to be 20,000plus square feet, with space suitable for a prototyping facility, classrooms, open space, offices, conference rooms, room for co-working space and other amenities. “The Velocity center fits perfectly with the EII in our efforts to improve local workforce retention and encourage young employees to live and work in Southern Maryland,” said EII Director Thomas Luginbill. The goal of the Velocity Center is to attract students who will have the ability to take courses in a world-class facility surrounded by some of the brightest research scientists in the country. “This will give students a chance to see how their skills can be applied outside the classroom and open their eyes to opportunities that exist here in Southern Maryland,” Luginbill said. “We plan on building a robotics practice course where the CSM Talons [the college’s competitive robotics team] can hold showcases for teams all around the country.” “The MEI program leverages private funds raised by our very active foundation board,” explained Vice President and Executive Director of the CSM Foundation Michelle Goodwin. “In this case our largest contributor being Michael Chiaramonte, president and chairman of ProFlex Physical Therapy among other business ventures. The money will be endowed by the CSM Foundation and the interest earned will support the EII and its Velocity Center initiative.” The Maryland E-Nnovation Initiative was created by the General Assembly during the 2014 legislative session and has provided $20.1 million in funding to leverage $23 million in private donations. The funding can be used to pay salaries of newly endowed department chairs, staff, and support personnel in designated scientific and technical fields of study; fund related research fellowships for graduate and undergraduate students; and purchase lab equipment and other basic infrastructure and equipment. Headquartered in Charles County, Mid-Atlantic Development Partners, LLC is a newly formed company focused on real estate investment and development. The company was founded by McPherson and Brough who have worked together in various executive level roles for more than 10 years. The principals have been active in the real estate and construction industry in the Washington, D.C. area for more than 25 years. Triumph Development, LLC is a full-service real estate company providing diversified commercial, residential and resort real estate development, asset management, custom home building, and luxury property management. Founded in Bethesda in 2002, Triumph also has west coast offices in Vail, Colorado. Triumph’s co-founder, James Fangmeyer, is a native Washingtonian and currently oversees Triumph’s portfolio of public and private development ventures.

Sheriff’s Office Crime Report Sheriff’s Office Warns of Check Cashing Scam
The St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office has recently received multiple complaints involving a check fraud scam. In this scam, a potential victim will receive, what appears to be, a legitimate bank check in the mail; typically by 2 day or 3 day US Priority Mail service. Instructions will accompany the check directing victims to cash the check then contact someone for additional information. Victims are subsequently directed to purchase items and deposit the left over money into a separate account belonging to the scammer. Cashing the check and sending the money to the scammer will result in the victim losing their own money. DON’T BE A VICTIM. If you receive a check similar to those pictured below, DO NOT ATTEMPT to cash it without first verifying the check’s authenticity. St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office Investigating Fatal Motor Vehicle Collision On September 17, 2017, at 7:59 PM, patrol deputies from the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office responded to the area of Piney Point Road and Blake Creek Road for the report of a serious motor vehicle collision. Due to the nature of the collision, The St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office Col-
lision Reconstruction Unit was requested. The preliminary investigation determined a 1999 Toyota Corolla operated by Shelia Marie Hardesty, 54, of Leonardtown, MD, was traveling southbound on Piney Point Road when, for unknown reasons, the vehicle crossed the center line and into northbound traffic. The vehicle then struck a 2005 GMC Sierra 2500 operated by James Matthew Bowes Jr., 24, of Leonardtown, MD. Hardesty was pronounced deceased at the scene. Bowes was transported to St. Mary’s Hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Preliminarily, neither speed nor alcohol is believed to be a contributing factor. Anyone with further information regarding this collision, please contact Deputy John Davis at (240)496-6695 or by email, John.Davis@stmarysmd.com. Incident Briefs 9-20-17

Woman Sentenced For Calvert Manslaughter

41650 COURT HOUSE DRIVE, SUITE 301 • P.O. BOX 288 LEONARDTOWN, MARYLAND 20650
PHONE: 301-475-5150 • FAX: 301-475-6909
From Jennifer Stone, Sheriff ’s Office PIO
A St. Mary’s County woman received a sentence of four years in state prison for her part in the death of a man while both were racing on Route 4 in Lusby in December. A Calvert County Circuit Court judge initially sentenced Lindsay Canter, a registered nurse who lived in Lexington Park, to 15 years for the negligent manslaughter of Joseph Ball, 32, but it was suspended. Canter slammed her vehicle into the rear end of Ball’s vehicle near Rousby Hall Road, sending it off the roadway and overturning it. Canter left the scene of the crash without notifying police or rescue personnel and was found by sheriff’s deputies a
short distance away. “Canter admitted to approaching Ball’s vehicle, admitted to seeing Ball covered in blood and possibly deceased and admitted to fleeing the scene,” deputies reported in court documents. “Before fleeing the scene, Canter told other witnesses to the crash she had a suspended license and needed to leave. “Canter, a nurse, chose not to give medical attention to Ball.” According to reports from the Calvert County sheriff’s agency, investigators quickly found that Canter intentionally struck Ball’s vehicle. “The two vehicles had been racing north on Route 4 prior to Canter deciding to make contact with Ball’s vehicle,” the sheriff’s office reported in a statement. “Based upon the information learned during the interviews with Canter she was charged with driving under the influence (DUI), homicide by motor vehicle while impaired by alcohol, leaving the scene of a fatal motor vehicle crash and numerous other DUI related charges.” Preliminary reports showed that when the two vehicles entered the intersection of Rousby Hall Road, Canter’s Ford Mustang struck Ball’s Nissan 370 Z in the rear, pushing it off the road and down an embankment. Canter was found to have a .17 blood alcohol content at the time of the crash, police reported, more than twice the legal limit. guyleonard@countytimes.net

CSM Hires Diversity Executive Director
The College of Southern Maryland (CSM) welcomes Dr. Carmen Phelps as its new executive director of Institutional Equity and Diversity. Phelps takes on the position at a potentially fruitful time, she said. Diversity issues are taking center stage in the national discourse, a few examples being the white supremacists’ conflict in Charlottesville, Virginia, Dr. Carmen Phelps questions about the future of Title IX, the decision about the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program and its effect on children of undocumented immigrants and the issue of transgender people serving in the military. “You have this natural climate that substantiates the need for more conversation,” Phelps said, describing it as a “potentially transitional moment” in history. “I see this office as playing an integral role in how this institution imagines itself in that transition,” she said. Describing her position as an “ambassador for diversity, inclusion, equity and access for the benefit of the college
and surrounding community,” Phelps said “I am looking forward to working with all students, faculty, staff and community stakeholders to ensure that our commitment to these ideals resonate through our collective work.” Phelps will be leading CSM’s Institutional Equity and Diversity Office after having served in similar positions at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, Arizona; Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; University of Toledo in Toledo, Ohio; and Longwood University in Farmville, Virginia. Her work experience also includes time as a writing instructor at American University and as an instructor of African American literature at George Washington University, both in Washington, D.C. “Dr. Carmen Phelps brings a wealth of experience and enthusiasm to CSM’s diversity office at a critical time,” said CSM President Dr. Maureen Murphy. “CSM seeks to be an institution where diverse thoughts, values and people are heard and respected. Dr. Phelps will be working to ensure that CSM is a safe place to explore ideas and challenge assumptions, while not tolerating words or actions that diminish others. It is through embracing diversity and working together with respect and integrity that we can fulfill our mission and enhance the quality of life in Southern Maryland.” Phelps’ duties at CSM include overseeing the Diversity Institute, which is focused on community partnerships, and programs like the Men of Excellence, which provides support for African American male-identified students on campus. Phelps also oversee the Charles County Mediation Center located at CSM’s La Plata Campus and serves as the Title IX coordinator for CSM, dealing with gender-related discrimination issues. In addition, Phelps will work on straM ETA B O L I C T R A I N I N G T O I N C R E A S E M ETA B O L I S M & B U R N FAT M O R E E F F I C I E N T LY ! tegic planning related to diversity issues for the college as well as scheduling

programming, events and dialogues designed to create and maintain a supportive environment at the college. CSM’s Institutional Equity and Diversity Office sponsors various events supporting the college’s commitment to diversity, including programs, workshops, dialogues, trainings meant to encourage cultural competency and awareness as well as advocacy and community-building. “I’ve always been interested in service and advocacyoriented work, so I suppose my interests in diversity has been inspired by that,” Phelps said. “In addition, I have always been a listener as well as a community and relationship builder, which also informs this kind of work. Ultimately, I’ve always wanted to work in an area where I could have the potential to improve the quality of life of those whom I serve and support, and this work gives me the opportunity to fulfill that desire.” Phelps said she hopes her office’s impact will extend from the college to the surrounding community. To that end, she is planning a series of conversations with community members in November to learn more about Southern Maryland and the region’s issues. “It’s my intention to be as accessible and ubiquitous as possible,” she said. “You have to engage.” However, Phelps notes that everyone is not at the same place on diversity issues and some people feel threatened by these discussions. She believes that her job will be to “meet people where they are,” she said. “We need to honor that and find the intersecting points of interest to help all of us do better in some way.” “We’re all connected. We’re all in this together,” Phelps said. For information on CSM’s Institutional Equity and Diversity Office, visit www.csmd.edu/about/institutionalequity-and-diversity/.

Instant College Admission Possible at CSM Transfer Fairs The College of Southern Maryland (CSM) will host three transfer fairs this month —Sept. 18 at the Prince Frederick Campus, Sept. 19 at the Leonardtown Campus and Sept. 21 at the La Plata Campus. These events are a valuable opportunity for CSM students to meet representatives from a variety of colleges and universities, explore college majors, degree programs and meet with CSM faculty to gather information about planning the next step in their education. CSM Assistant Director of Transfer Services James Spence Jr. said this fall’s transfer fairs include a new opportunity for students planning to continue their education beyond CSM. “For the first time in the history of the college’s transfer fairs, we’ve extended to the four-year schools the opportunity to conduct instant admissions on those days,” Spence said. “As of today, we have 15 schools that will be accepting students on the spot.” Currently, the following schools are offering the opportunity for instant admissions at the CSM fairs: · Bowie State University · Capitol Technology University
· Coppin State University · Excelsior College · Grand Canyon University · Hampton University · Notre Dame of Maryland University · Stevenson University · Trinity Washington University · University of Baltimore · University of the District of Columbia · University of Mary Washington · University of Maryland Eastern Shore · Virginia State University · Washington Adventist University Last year, 1,643 CSM students transferred to 221 different four-year institutions in 41 states and the District of Columbia. Students interested in instant admissions should show up to one of the fairs with a copy of their completed online application and their transcript. The college has more than 60 articulations in place that ease the transition for CSM graduates into their programs. For information on this opportunity, the college’s articulations and the upcoming transfer fairs, visit www.csmd.edu/TransferServices. From CSM

The College of Southern Maryland (CSM) has named Bill Bessette of Mechanicsville as the college’s new executive director of Public Safety and Preparedness. In this position, Bessette is responsible for the overall protection of life and property at all four CSM campuses. The job requires strategic planning, project management, developing and coordinating the college’s emergency preparedness plan and establishing and nurturing contacts within and outside the college to prevent and solve problems. Bessette will also be asked to create programs in support of safety and emergency preparedness. “My primary goal is to foster an environment that ensures public safety, but also an individual’s sense of wellbeing,” Bessette said. “It is vital that all members of our campus commu-
nity feel represented and heard and, in turn, feel safe. As a department, we will be approachable and responsive to all members of our community.” Bessette comes to CSM after serving as the Director of Safety and Security at Hopkinsville Community College in Hopkinsville, Kentucky. His professional background also includes experience as a police sergeant in Lawrenceville, Georgia. He has worked in uniform patrol, as a robbery investigator and as a member of a DUI task force. He is also a certified gang investigator and an active shooter instructor. Bessette said the environment of the CSM campuses was what attracted him to his new position. “Everyone was so upbeat and committed to the mission of the college that it made the decision an easy one,” he said. Public safety issues are increasingly critical and pervasive and Bessette encourages public engagement in these concerns. “Students, staff and community members can help by simply becoming involved. Campus safety is a group effort so community participation is critical to our success,” Bessette said. “Remember the adage ‘If you see something, say something.’” Bessette earned a bachelor of arts in psychology from Ashford University in Clinton, Iowa, and a master of public administration from Norwich University in Northfield, Vermont.

the light poles in the parking area with metal, supplanting the aging wooden poles. Perhaps the most welcomed improvement at the fair grounds are the new restroom facilities. Even the ticket booths are set to have heating and air conditioning installed for ticket sellers. The community and the government have taken notice. “You’re moving up in the world,” said new county museum division director Karen Stone visiting Richards at the fair office. Many of the buildings at the fair grounds have received new siding as well as fresh coats of colorful paint. “It’s been a constant process,” Richards said, who always praises the volunteers working with the fair association to make it possible. The real focus of all the work at the fair is to showcase the traditional, rural and agricultural life of St. Mary’s County. “That’s what the fair is all about, people coming to see these exhibits,” Richards said. “Without them, there wouldn’t be a fair.” Nearly 1,000 people will enter their projects to be judged at the county fair, ranging from livestock to arts and crafts of all kinds. But the fair being such a central community event, meant that there would be something there for everyone. The theme of the fair this year is “Country and City Celebrating Together.” The fair opens at 3p.m. today and runs through Sunday. Richards said the fair association and its loyal volunteers will continue to work to improve the physical plant at the Leonardtown location as funds continue to be available; the county fair is the main fund raising event for the association and all the proceeds go to pay the fairgrounds expenses. Despite the significant improvements to the fairgrounds, Richards said the founders of the event helped start a legacy that was built to last. “The people in 1949, they did a good job getting started,” Richards said. “If they saw the fairgrounds today, I think they would be proud.” guyleonard@countytimes.net

While you may not be here physically, rest assure that your presence is still felt by family, friends and the many lives you’ve touched are forever grateful for your compassion, strength, prayers, smiles and more importantly, for getting things done just because you were “Bertie C.

St. Mary’s College Collecting For Hurricane Relief By Guy Leonard Staff Writer
Students at St. Mary’s College of Maryland will begin collecting this weekend much needed supplies for victims of Hurricane Harvey that recently deluged Houston, Texas. The collection will commence Friday through Saturday from 10a.m. to 4p.m. at the Michael P. O’Brien Athletics and Recreation Center at the college. The needs are many, including school supplies such as pencils, pens, crayons, dry erase markers and erasers and book bags for students. There is also a need for copy paper, notebooks, small area rugs for classrooms and library books for 7th and 8th grade students. The relief effort is even asking for band and orchestra instruments. Personal supplies are also in dire need, such as phone chargers, packaged socks of every size as well as underwear, trash bags and cleaning supplies.
Donations of nonperishable food and pet food are also in great need, according to the college’s list of desired items. Kelly Schroeder, student activities coordinator at the college, said perhaps the most desperately needed items are related to sanitation. “They’re desperately asking for hand sanitizer and hand wipes,” Schroeder told The County Times. “Our contacts there told us that water is the last thing they need.” The level of cooperation with the effort from the community so far has been strong, Schroeder said. Trinity Episcopal Church, a college neighbor, has been collecting pet food while students at Great Mills High School have collected 100 book bags. “Some alumni at the county health department filled up one truck with toiletries and are working on filling up another,” she said. guyleonard@countytimes.net

Local Episcopal Church Celebrates 325 Years By Guy Leonard Staff Writer
All Faith Episcopal Church in Mechanicsville is one of the oldest churches in the entire state and the second oldest Episcopal congregation in Maryland. Only St. George’s Episcopal Church in Valley Lee is older, said Bob Fistick one of the organizers of the church’s 325th anniversary celebration to be held this weekend. “It’s one of the founding Episcopal churches in Maryland,” Fistick said. The church traces its lineage back to the first meeting of its members at a log house in Huntersville all the way back to 1655. The parish itself was created by an act of the colonial Maryland legislature in 1692, according to research for a soonto-be-published book commemorating the church’s history, and remains among the 30 original parishes officially established 325 years ago. The church was founded at a time when Maryland was embroiled in bitter
strife between Anglicans (Episcopals), Catholics and Puritans who had all tried to make a home in the New World. In 1649, the colonial assembly passed the Maryland Toleration Act, which allowed for various factions of Christianity to practice freely. But that did not stop Puritans from rebelling, taking control of the colony and prohibiting both Anglican and Catholic worship. The revolt was not put down until 1658 when the founding Calvert family wrested control of the colony back. Fistick said the book and the church’s celebration were designed to bring more attention to the role played by the Episcopal church parishes in the establishment of Maryland in often dangerous and contentious times. “We hope this book will spark some interest,” Fistick said. The All Faith Church celebration of its 325th anniversary is set for Sept. 24 from 4 to 6 p.m. at the church hall located at 38885 New Market-Turner Road. guyleonard@countytimes.net

Taste of St. Mary’s Changes a Big Hit By Dick Myers Editor
“It was a new day, a new way and very positive feedback,” said St. Mary’s County Chamber of Commerce CEO Paul Junge about the Sept.16 Taste of St. Mary’s in Leonardtown. This year for the fi rst time the event was held on Saturday instead of Sunday and in a more compact area on the square to allow for better traffic flow. The result, Junge told the County Times, was a 25 to 30 percent increase in attendance. Junge said the praise for the change was “universal from the vendors, vol-
unteers and attendees.” One vendor said that in the past the attendance on Sundays was always good in the opening hour but then thinned out as people went home to watch football. That problem didn’t exist on Saturday, leading to a steadier crowd throughout the four-and-a-half-hour event. Two dozen food vendors surrounded the town square and there was continuous entertainment. The Chamber’s annual event is made possible by contributions from a dozen corporate sponsors. dickmyers@countytimes.net

CarFit Event at Loffler Senior Activity Center
Have you been driving a car that’s unfamiliar to you? Do you want to make sure you’re driving as safely as possible? Then sign up for the upcoming CarFit event to be held at Loffler Senior Activity Center on Friday, Sept. 29. Half hour slots are available between 1 and 4 p.m. CarFit is an educational program created by the American Society on Aging and developed in collaboration with AAA (American Automobile Association), AARP and the American Occupational Therapy Association. The program is designed to help older drivers find out how well they currently fit their personal vehicle, to highlight actions they can take to improve their fit and to promote conversations about driver safety and community mobility. A proper fit in one’s personal vehicle can greatly increase not only the driver’s safety but also the safety of others. An occupational therapist will be on site to work with individuals who have undergone knee, hip, or back surgery and find getting into and out of the car difficult. For more information, or to register, contact Community Programs & Outreach Manager Sarah Miller at 301-4754200, ext. *1073, or email sarah.miller@ stmarysmd.com.

Track and report your mileage, steps, or time walked and get a free t-shirt for participating.

October Art Classes at Loffler
Prepare yourself to take art classes at the Loffler Senior Activity Center on Tuesdays from 10 a.m.-12 p.m. Each month has a theme- for the month of October, students will learn to do studies in water. In art, a study is a drawing, sketch or painting done in preparation for a finished piece, or as visual notes. Studies are often used to understand the problems involved in rendering subjects and to plan the elements to be used in finished works, such as light, color, form, perspective and composition. Classes are suitable for beginners as well as intermediate level students. Cost of these classes ($85 payable to Jamie on the first day of class) includes enough paint and supplies to get you started. Call 301475-4200, ext. *1658, to sign up or to learn more.
Kickboxing
Kickboxing will be offered on Wednesdays from 8:30-9:30 a.m. starting Oct. 4 and run for 7 weeks until November 15. This form of exercise tones muscles through punching and kicking. During the class the participants use focus pads, target pads and mitts. Participants may notice an improvement in overall balance and flexibility. The aerobic moves of kickboxing have been shown to improve circulation and it offers a great stress relief. This specialized class is geared towards active men and women ages fifty and above and has great energy without the high impact exercises that are done during a mainstream kickboxing class. The instructor, Geno Rothback, is a registered nurse, a senior fitness instructor, and is a black belt in Taekwondo and certified Martial Fusion and Kickboxing instructor. Cost is $35 payable to Geno Rothback. Payment required at time of reservation. Call 301-475-4200, ext. *1050, to learn more.
Yellow Door Art Studio
The Garvey Senior Activity Center is excited to continue to partner with Yellow Door Art Studios to offer high quality, low cost art instruction. Come join us on Monday, Oct. 2 at 1:30 p.m. and take home a beautiful piece of art! Yellow Door will demonstrate and assist you with small landscapes in pen and
ink. The cost per class is $15 a person; payment due at the time of reservation. Call the Garvey Senior Activity Center at 301-475-4200, ext. *1050, for more information.
Northern Rocks!
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve probably heard of the social media phenomenon-- the kindness rock exchange. Southern Marylanders are painting beautiful designs and inspirational quotes on ordinary rocks and leaving them all over the place for others to find. Once located, they can be shared on social media and released back in the community for others to re-discover. Let’s join in and share in the kindness rock exchange with our new Northern Rocks program. You bring the rocks and we supply the paint and brushes. Once decorated, we’ll include #NSACRocks on the back along with your initials and you can start hiding them for others to find and share. For more information call 301-475-4200, ext. *3103. The fun begins Monday, Oct. 2, from 9:30-10:30 a.m.
Movie at Loffler
Come to the Loffler Senior Activity Center on Wednesday Oct. 4 at 10 a.m. to see the movie Castles in the Sky, a moving and inspiring factual drama about the pioneering work on radar by a little know team of scientists in the days leading up to the Second World War. On February 26 1935, Robert Watson-Watt demonstrated for the first time that aircraft could be detected by bouncing radio waves off them. By the time the war began in 1939, radar stations were dotted along the British coast, tracking aircraft at distances of 100 miles away. There is no cost to watch this 90-minute movie put out by the BBC. Call 301-475-4200, ext. *1658, or stop by the Loffler reception desk to sign up. 16 seats available.
Perrenial Garden
It’s been three years since a raised bed perennial garden was planted at the Loffler Senior Activity Center under the supervision of Patricia Armstrong and her Master Gardeners group. It’s time to take another look at it and have a workshop on how to keep it healthy and maintained plus share some ideas for adding to it. This free workshop will take place on Thursday, Oct. 5 at the Loffler Senior Activity Center at 10 a.m. If you have any interest in perennial gardens, this class is for you. Call 301-475-4200, ext. *1658, or stop by the Loffler reception desk to sign up.

SMAC Scoreboard
Costly Publicity Last week, ESPN anchor Jemele Hill loaded her 140-character Twitter super soaker and hosed down 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue with this political torrent: “Donald Trump is a white supremacist who has largely surrounded himself w/ other white supremacists.” Whoa now. Using Twitter against Trump is like deploying the Batmobile against Batman or Thor’s hammer against the son of Odin himself. No one insults, creates controversy or manufactures chaos with the Twitter toy like the Trumper. No one! Oh, but Hill did and, predictably, sent the impulsive and proudly un-presidential Trump into a tizzy. Channeling The Dude from The Big Lebowski (doubtful Trump’s seen the iconic flick), you could practically sense The Great Comb Over exclaiming, “This aggression will not stand, man…especially from an African American woman!!!” In true “kiss the ring” fashion, Trump demanded something he’s never offered to any group he’s offended (like African Americans and women) – an apology. And goodie for him. We needed our leader to pause and corral this brazen ESPN personality while Caribbean islands are uninhabitable, Houston is rising from its knees, people in Florida are homeless or living in darkness and North Korea is firing missiles every other day. I trust the sarcasm is palatable. As Hunter S. Thompson said, “When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.” So I’m taking my big league hacks. How else to navigate this demoralizing post-election world, eh? At the root of this latest Trumpian Twitter-war is a legitimate and increasingly pertinent issue: understanding the intersection between First Amendment rights and the consequences of constitutionally bequeathed free speech liberties. Freely expressed thoughts are a decidedly American right (one of the few things left with overwhelmingly bipartisan support), but in this amazing(?) social media age, they can have lasting impact on relationships, reputations and, in Hill’s case, employment. CNN anchor Brooke Baldwin attempted a discussion on the topic during a recent edition of her show. To support the segment, Baldwin had two guests aboard:
former ESPN writer Keith Reed and Fox Sports Radio host Clay Travis. Baldwin opened the dialogue by questioning why Trump, who has received similar criticism from numerous sources, chose to engage with Hill and ESPN and cued Travis for comment. Less than a minute into his salvo, Travis dropped this gem: “I’m a First Amendment absolutist. I believe in only two things completely: the First Amendment and boobs.” When Baldwin asked for clarification, Travis confirmed the statement and added that the First Amendment and boobs are “…the two things that have never let me down in this country’s history.” This from a married father of three. The obvious: Travis’s statement was incredibly immature, demeaning and horribly misplaced. To mock such a serious issue and reduce Hill’s struggles with this president, struggles she shares with many people from various walks of life, with a throw-away, frat-boy-around-a-keg comment is confounding. Was Travis lost in self-promotion? Did he feel emboldened by this administration to bring adolescent chatter onto a national stage? In a weird confluence of circumstances, I read a piece last week by Melissa Jacobs (TheFootballGirl.com) on former Rams QB Jim Everett. A long time ago, a onetime provocative radio and television talking head by the name of Jim Rome had Everett on his show. Rome, in what was then typical Rome fashion, sought to provoke Everett by calling him “Chris”, a childish reference to Chris Evert, the great female tennis player of similar surname. Everett took offense and warned Rome against furthering the charade. Rome, with an irritated Everett in his midst (exactly what he wanted), pressed on with his “Chris” shtick. Everett snapped, tipped over table and knocked Rome to the ground. It was an embarrassment for all involved. Testosterone run amuck. Rome has had a long career in sports media, but he hasn’t completely out-raced that moment. It remains front and center on his resume, a self-inflicted antagonist typecast that’s pigeonholed his work into something forever short of serious journalism. Clay Travis committed a similar error. He’ll forever be “First Amendment Boob Guy”, a label he earned while goofing off during a conversation about the consequences of free speech. The irony is omnipresent. My fellow Americans, speak freely… but wisely. Send comment to RonaldGuyJr@gmail.com

How Do I Get There from Here? By Terri Schlichenmeyer
by George H. Schofield, PhD White sandy beaches. Waves that gently kiss your toes with warm water. In your minds’ eye, they stretch for miles and they’re yours to explore. That will be your retirement – or so you hope. But as you’ll see in “How Do I Get There From Here?” by George H. Schofield, PhD, you might dare to hope for more. How long ‘til your retirement? If you’re over 50, you may count years, months, maybe even weeks until you don’t have to hit the alarm anymore. But get this, says Schofield: thanks to technology and modern medicine, today’s 50-year-old may have fifty more years to live. What will you do with all that time? Most people, Schofield says, will find that idleness is boring after awhile: a survey done in 2014 showed that the average retiree takes just over two years to “relax and recharge” before returning to the work world. The “New Normal” is that we don’t want to slide “slowly downhill through golden years of leisure until death…” Instead, there’s chance for challenge
ahead, opportunities to learn new things and to jettison that which doesn’t work for us anymore. To get there – and do it well – takes a good balance between planning and action. Be willing to listen to the experiences of others before leaping, and keep in mind that an “Old Normal” doesn’t necessarily apply here. Also, be sure you know the difference between “Continuous Change” (expected natural progression) and “Discontinuous Change” (the throwyou-for-a-loop things that happen). You’ll encounter them in abundance after you retire; be sure you’re able to deftly handle both. Become financially literate, and update that knowledge often. Gather a handful of pros you can rely on for various issues of your life. Ask your doctor what she’d like to see you do to become healthier. Cultivate curiosity, learn new things, and let go of old notions. Remember that retirement is not a “life stage” so much as it is a continuation of life. And finally, know when you’re “done” planning. “If you are dead,” says Schofield,
“you’re done.” Naturally, you want your Golden Years to shimmer like real gold. After all, you may have more Golden Years than you first thought, and “How Do I Get There from Here?” will enhance them. Right from the outset, it’s the whole-life advice that sets this retirement book apart from the others. Author George H. Schofield doesn’t just focus on the financial; he encourages readers to look within and ask hard questions before making any kind of move. This, of course, assumes that you’ll stay healthy, which Schofield tackles; it also assumes that you have no emotional baggage, a subject he also dives into. Quizzes help here, as do DIY worksheets. True, readers may scratch their heads over the weird faux-interviews that Schofield seems to have with himself, but there are takeaways inside those, too. This book means work, but it’s eye-opening work so grab a pen and “How Do I Get There from Here?” Read it carefully. Missing it’s a beach.

“Just taking a few minutes pause” This morning, unsubscribing from emails and sending other emails to SPAM took an hour out of my day. I could have had a nice nap during that time or another cup of tea while watching the news, but computer clutter must be cleared like anything else. It is scary how every click we make on a screen seems to bring twenty similar search emails to my inbox. If you look up wrinkle cream, suddenly you are getting pop ups on the side bars of your screen, your emails, and Facebook with every type of scam out there. How do you know what is real anymore? What I think is really annoying is when you link to a news item which takes you to YouTube, you get a commercial you have to sit through (at least until it says you may skip this ad in so many seconds). I am constantly apologizing to readers for not finding their emails when I am taking some free moments to respond to your wonderful letters. Most of the time, over the years, Yahoo won’t even let me in with my password – drives me crazy. Wow, that feels better. I think maybe that my next cup of tea should be chamomile instead of my regular high test Scottish Breakfast. It could be that I am on a frantic search for a women’s health doctor who is leading the pack in banishing menopause. How long does this last? I thought mine ended two years ago – but it’s back! My primary doctor just gave me all the hormone level tests and mailed me the results. It said Ha Ha you are STILL in menopause – you need to move immediately to a remote part Siberia for relief for you and all who know you. Well, it didn’t say all that
exactly – it said for both tests: indicates menopause. Or as my husband likes to call it: A pause for men. That’s not exactly fair. I believe men’s hormone levels change and they go through a Manopause. I remember sitting at the end of the dining room table, watching my mother lifting the back of her hair, and with her face covered with perspiration looking completely miserable. I used to think, “Really? How bad could it be?” “How come she doesn’t want to take me to Landover Mall right this moment?” I also think about the customer who came in my shop a few years ago, and I had one of my allover-the-body hot blazes while waiting on her. I was so embarrassed as I always am, and apologized profusely while holding a towel to my neck and face. I said, “When does this end??” And she said, “Oh honey, I’m 80 years old and I still get them.” WHAT!!?? NOOOOOOO!!!! I apologize now to all the men reading this, but most of you have known or loved some woman who is, or will go through menopause. Yes, it is a natural part of life, and all of us women deal with this and all the other fun parts of womanhood with grace, and acceptance. Like me. Most of the time. All I know is that the receptionist better call back right now with an appointment for me today! And I better get meds! Have a gentle day my friends.

James Bernard Russell is said to have been born on May 8, 1863. He was supposed to have been the son of Jeremiah Jerome Russell and Mary “Polly” Copsey but that’s a problem as Jeremiah died January 26, 1851, two years before the birth date of James. In 1860 James was 8 years old at the time of the census; he was 18 in 1870; and 22 when he married in 1876. And, to add even more confusion, James sometimes used the middle name Vernon and at other times Bernard. Do we have a forgotten date of birth or a disgrace? In those days we would have been talking disgrace. Today there’s not a harrumph to be heard. On April 26, 1876 James married Ann Levia Morgan (born November 21, 1856), daughter of John Daniel Thomas Morgan and Lydia Ann Quade, at the home of William Hill near Chaptico by Rev. James Bunting (pastor of Bethel Methodist Church). They had 12 children, 10 of whom survived. Ann Levia died October 20, 1919. On June 24, 1922 James married second, Mary Agnes Morgan (born March 6, 1908), daughter of John Daniel Thomas Morgan, Jr. and his third wife, Edwina Jeannette “Jennie” Burch and niece of Ann Levia Morgan. The groom was at least 55 years older than the bride. The couple had six children prior to James’ death on July 7, 1932.
Children by Ann Levia Morgan:: John Daniel Russell (1877-1948); married Rose Ann Morgan in 1907. Lena Rebecca Russell (1880-1958); married Robert Aubrey Owens in 1898. Ida Mae Russell (1880-1943); married first, William Douglas “Riverside” Morgan in 1900 and second Joseph Benjamin Morgan in 1938. Mary Myrtle Russell (1885-1953); married first, John Woodley Morgan in 1903 and second, Philip L. “Buddy” Pilkerton before 1952. Nonnie Ann Russell (1889-1975) married Andrew Johnson Quade. Alice Saintplaunia Russell (1889-1965); married Richard Clarence “Dickie” Quade in 1909. Joseph Hayden P. Russell (1890-1972); married Lilly May Hill in 1912. George Clayton Russell (1894-1968); married Rose Alice Suite in 1914.. Lucy Catherine Russell (1898-1973); married Alton Monroe Quade in 1914. Anna F. Russell (1899-1967); married William Lee Morgan ca1916. Children by Mary Agnes Morgan): James Bernard Russell, Jr. (1924-1999)’ married twice Sidney Lewis Russell (1925-1991); married Hilda Lee William Claude Russell (1927-Aft. 1999) Albert John Russell (1928-Aft. 1999) Mary A. Russell (1930-bef. 1991); married _____Quade. Margaret Elizabeth (1931-aft. 1999); msrried Lemuel Caleb Dean. Mary Agnes (Morgan) Russell married second, Elbert John Owens. She died February 7, 1970.
