Former County Commissioner, State Party Leader Passes Away Founding Member of the Republican Women Leaders of Calvert. Joyce was also a member of the Republican Women’s Federal Forum for 30 years and served on its Executive Board. “Joyce was Calvert County Chairman of the 2002 Ehrlich-Steele campaign and, after Governor Ehrlich’s election served as his Deputy Director for Intergovernmental Relations, as a member of the State Roads Commission and as an Ex-
Joyce Lyons Terhes in the official photo when she was county commissioner. Photo provided by North Beach Mayor Mark Frazer.
By Dick Myers Editor The first woman Republican Calvert County commissioner, Joyce Lyons Terhes passed away July 25. Terhes served two terms as county commissioner (1986 to 1994) and later went on to head the state Republican Party. Terhes lived in Silver Spring at the time of her death but formerly lived in Dunkirk and Prince Frederick. The Calvert County Republican Central Committee issued the following biography of Terhes: “It is with great sadness that we tell you that our very dear friend Joyce Lyons Terhes went home to the Lord on Wednesday, July 25, 2018. Joyce was injured in a recent fall and was recovering from a broken knee-cap and bone in her other leg when she succumbed to pneumonia. We will miss her terribly as she was the champion of all Republicans. She was our mentor and leader and most of all our friend. “Joyce Terhes was elected Republican National Committee woman for Maryland in 2002 and served in this capacity until 2012. She was a member of the Republican National Committee’s Executive Committee and served as Chairman of the Northeast State Chairman’s Association between 1998 and 2002. She received many awards and special honors including selection by Campaign and Elections Magazine in 1993 as one of 74 women “who are changing American Politics” and by Warfield’s Business Record in 1996 as one of Maryland’s Top 100 Women. “A 1962 graduate from Mary Washington College of the University of Virginia, Joyce soon became an award-winning teacher in Prince George’s County Schools and a civic activist in her home, Calvert County. She was the founding President of the Dunkirk Area Concerned Citi-
zens Association in 1984. Encouraged by the Reverend Bob Conway and Bob Johannesen, she became politically active by going through neighborhoods, precinct by precinct, registering new residents. She was a member of the Calvert County Republican Central Committee from 1984-86. “Joyce was very creative and in running for the Calvert Board of County Commissioners in 1986, she gave campaign workers squeegees and water buckets. After cleaning windshields in parking lots, they left notes: “Now that you see more clearly, Vote Republican! Vote Joyce Lyons Terhes!” Joyce was elected to the Board of County Commissioners, receiving the highest number of votes of all candidates and becoming the first Republican woman to serve on the Board.” Joyce served on the Board until 1994. Meanwhile her voter registration efforts led to her appointment as Chairman of Voter Registration for the Maryland Republican Party between 1983-85; her election as First Vice-Chairman of the Maryland Republican Party in 1983, and her selection as Outstanding Maryland Republican Woman of the Year in 1983. Joyce was an Electoral College Member in 1984 and 1988. She was elected Maryland Republican Party Chairman in 1989 and served in this post until 1998. Her laser-like ability to focus on top priorities, her persuasive talents and her boundless energy helped rescue the Party from major debts and to restore a “can do” spirit in the Party’s membership. Joyce was also active in the Maryland and National Federation of Republican Women. She served as Chairman of the 25th Biennial Convention of the National Federation of Republican Women when the MFRW hosted this event in Baltimore in 1989. She served on the NFRW Board of Directors in 1989, 1998 and 2000. Locally, she was a
officio Member of the Maryland Transportation Commission. “Joyce Lyons Terhes is a true Republican pioneer at every level, local, state and national!” Joyce is survived by several nieces and their families.

Buehler Family Eases out of St. Leonard Businesses Both Market and Liquor Store are Being Sold By Dick Myers Editor For the first time in more than 60 years there won’t be a Buehler family-owned business operating on Main Street in St. Leonard. The grocery store business started by Pat Buehler’s mother Bertie and carried on by him and joined later by his daughter Maria is in the process of being sold. Buehler, a former county commissioner, told the Calvert County Board of License Commissioners (liquor board) at their July 26 meeting that he was selling the majority control of the liquor license he has held for 53 years, since he turned 21 years of age. That license is for Buehler Package Goods that sits next to Buehler’s Market, the iconic grocery store started by his mother. In recent years the market building has been owned by his daughter, Maria and leased to another operator. Pat Buehler owned the liquor store building and he and Maria operated it. That is all about to change. The two buildings and the two businesses have been sold to a company called St. Leonard Libations, LLC, which is owned by Danny Patel; who owns 17 or 18 stores in the region, according to Pat Buehler He said the size of Patel’s operation will give him the buying power that a small business like he and Maria ran did not have. Buehler told the liquor board that he will continue to work at the store during the transition and that no changes are anticipated for either the liquor store or the market. Buehler will retain 10 percent of the liquor li-
cense and Patel’s sister-in-law Geetaben, will hold 90 percent. The woman does not speak English and she required translation by the young man who will eventually be managing the store. Maria Buehler, who is also a member of the Calvert County Planning Commission, told The County Times that she intends to go back to school and pursue her master’s degree. She holds an undergraduate degree from George Mason University. As for her father, Pat says he intends to continue to come into the stores to assist. On Monday, he said he had come in at 6:30 to help open the store. He lives close by. “I’ll be around,” he said. Buehler has lived in St. Leonard all his life and at one time lived above the grocery store. When The County Times interviewed Pat and Maria Buehler last October for a front-page feature, Pat was suffering from Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), which required him to carry around an oxygen tank. When he appeared before the liquor board, he appeared trim and healthy He said that was the result of a recent operation and that he is feeling fine. During the liquor board meeting, member Jack Smack told Parel, “You have big shoes to fill.” That’s something the Buehler’s regular customers for generations know first-hand. dickmyers@countytimes.net

State Auditor Cites Circuit Court Clerk’s Office Officials Agree to Changes By Dick Myers Editor

For the second time recently, the Office of Legislative Audits of the Maryland Department of Legislative Services has cited the office of an elected Calvert County official. This time it was the Office of Clerk of the Circuit Court of Calvert County. Kathy Smith is the elected clerk. The perceived problem was contained in a letter from Legislative Auditor Thomas Barnickel, II to the legislature’s Joint Audit Committee. Clerk of the Circuit Court Kathy Smith Barnickel wrote in the letter dated July 23: “Our audit disclosed that land transfer transactions which totaled approximately $5.1 million during fiscal year 2017, were not always subject to independent verification in accordance with the Office’s procedure.” In the same letter, Barnickel also noted a response from the judiciary to the findings. A letter dated July 9 from Smith and State Court Administrator Pamela Harris quickly conceded the findings and promised changes. Their letter said, “We agree with the recommendation. Our policy has always been that the Supervisor of Land Records, with assistance from Lead Workers when necessary, would randomly test and record transactions for accuracy in collection of fees and taxes, and keep a log of those reviews. Except during staff shortages, the Supervisor is never a cashier. When the Supervisor needs to be a cashier, she has her security rights changed. We agree with the recommendation that the review should be done more often, and that extra care should be taken to ensure that the test review of a document is never performed by the same person who was the initial cashier.” Smith, a Democrat, has been Clerk of the Circuit Court for 20years. She is unopposed in the November general election and had no primary opponents. dickmyers@countytimes.net

Cable TV Channel Showcases Calvert County Again Chesapeake Beach Renovation Featured By Dick Myers Editor For the second time in less than two weeks, Calvert County’s waterfront will be on display for a national audience. As reported in The Calvert County Times last week, a family’s search for a vacation and weekend getaway was featured on the HGTV show “Beachfront Bargain Hunt.” The couple and their two boys settled on a home in Long Beach, St. Leonard. Now, on Saturday, August 4 at 10 p.m., another show with a similar premise, “Beachfront Bargain Hunt Renovation” will spotlight a renovation project being done on a Chesapeake Beach home owned by Melanie Montague. The house is located at 2713 27th Street. Montague is a realtor with Montague Properties, Keller Williams Realty Partners in Annapolis. She also renovates homes, having done 10 in South-
ern Maryland in the past few years. A while ago Montague notified HGTV that she would be willing to participate on a show. They contacted her as a real estate agent asking if she had any clients who were renovating. She said no, but by the way she was doing one herself. “We thought it would be a cool experience, kind of fun,” Montague said about quickly agreeing to doing the show. The show, like its first cousin “Beachfront Bargain Hunt” features the search for a house, but in this case one in need of renovation., The episode with Montague will show her looking at other houses that would be representative of her original search. Montague explained that filming of the one-hour show began last October with a three-hour session that shows the beginning of the renovation, Then, crews returned about once a month following different subcontractors doing different parts of the job.

Montague knows from experience that renovation can be a challenge, with many unknowns ahead at the start. As the show will highlight, and as the pictures accompanying this story show, the renovation of the home two blocks from the Chesapeake Bay turned out quite well. The home is having a new lease on life as a vacation rental. Montague said it has been rented the majority of the time this summer. Montague is getting ready to jump right back in with another major renovation project, an old farmhouse on Route 231. The first step was hiring some goats from a nearby farmer to eat the underbrush. Because the show this Saturday doesn’t start until 10 p.m. , Montague isn’t planning a viewing party. Instead, she is taping it and is planning a future viewing party at the Brick Bistro in Prince Frederick.

per to cover that for our readers. This event was billed as a fundraiser and had a cost for attendance. For more than 50 years I have been going to such events. It has always been my policy not to pay to go to them because to do so would constitute an endorsement of the candidate and our attendance to cover it was as a neutral observer to report for everyone. I can honestly say in those 50 years I have never been prevented from covering such an event. Candidates are always clamoring for free publicity. They welcome stories about what they say. With the cost of being a candidate so high, such free coverage is money in the bank. I did call the contact number on the notice to let them know I was coming. I was told someone would call back. No one did. So, I showed up at the event only to be summarily told I wasn’t welcome. I was flabbergasted, to say the least. Let me be clear about this. The personal inconvenience was irking. I can assure you that personally on a nice Saturday afternoon I would have preferred to be doing anything else other than working at a political event. But, covering things is my job. Covering things is the responsibility of the news media, and especially community newspapers who seem to be the only ones left, sometimes, to do the job. I can assure you that many times I would rather not go to a school board meeting, attend a groundbreaking or watch a county commissioner meeting. All of those events are likewise the responsibility of community newspapers like The County Times and reporters like yours truly. As I am writing this no one from the Hogan campaign has called to apologize for not telling me I wasn’t welcome and save me a trip to St. Leonard on a summer Saturday and putting a big hole in my weekend plans. I’ll get over that. What I won’t get over is the utter disregard for the citizens of Southern Maryland that the Hogan campaign has in adopting the news media ban. The point is we aren’t at these events for our own amusement. We are there as a surrogate for everyone else who is unable to attend. There were many Hogan supporters who either couldn’t make such an event on a Saturday or even were out of town on vacation. Still others couldn’t afford the $50 price tag for
the privilege of mingling with the governor Our being there and writing a little story about it would have been a service to them. We don’t know why the governor is keeping the press out of these events. Perhaps he wants to tell his core supporters something that he doesn’t want anyone else to hear. He is, after all, also courting Democrats and needs their support this time, as he did four years ago, in order to get re-elected. This was a campaign function, and as such wasn’t covered by any open meetings law, so legally he was within his rights to bar me. But there also were a slew of elected officials at the event, and Maryland does have an open meetings law governing them. Whenever a quorum of a public body gathers that triggers an open meeting and requires everyone to be let in and also requires notice. We know for a fact there were quorums of elected officials in attendance at the rally. St. May’s County even has a stricter open meetings law only requiring three public officials, even if they aren’t in the same elected body, to have an open meeting of the gathering. We believe Gov. Hogan, maybe unintentionally, created a situation where the area’s elected officials, also unbeknownst to them, broke state law by attending. Just to make sure we were fair about this, we contacted the Ben Jealous campaign and were informed at least for now, reporters are also being barred from fundraising events. This is particularly curious to us because Jealous is the obvious underdog and needs all the coverage he can get. We think it is also hypocritical for Hogan and Jealous to be making comments about freedom of the press and the importance of community journalism in the wake of the tragedy at the Capital/Gazette and then turn around almost in the same breath and say, sorry reporters, you aren’t welcome. So, for those of you who are tired of politics anyway, don’t worry. For now, at least you really don’t’ have to think about it, according to Hogan and Jealous. dickmyers@countyimes.net

Detectives Search For Liquor Store Robbery Suspects On July 25, 2018 at 2:07pm the Calvert Control Center was notified of a robbery at the Discount Liquor Store, located at 5005 Solomons Island Road in Huntingtown. The caller advised the store was robbed at gunpoint by two suspects. The first suspect was described as a black male wearing a bright yellow construction style shirt/jacket with silver reflective striping. This suspect displayed a black handgun with a bag over it. The second suspect was described as a heavyset black female with an orange construction style shirt/jacket also with silver reflective striping. The two demanded money at which time the clerk gave the suspects an undisclosed amount of money from the cash drawer. The suspects fled the store in a black 4 door Nissan passenger car bearing a Maryland tag. The vehicle was last seen fleeing northbound on Route 4. Capt. Tim Fridman, spokesperson for the sheriff’s office, said the owner of the vehicle had been identified but detectives found it had been reported stolen from Prince George’s County. Detectives do not believe the owners of the car were involved in the robbery, Fridman said.
“Detectives have leads and are pursuing them,” Fridman said. “It’s very much an active case.” Calvert Sheriff’s Detectives are actively working this case. If anyone has any further information they are asked to contact Detective Wayne Wells at 410-535-1600 ext. 2595 or Wayne.wells@calvertcountymd.gov.

collecting. Their finds include old and modern fossil shells from up and down the East Coast and the Gulf of Mexico and are from the Miocene, Pliocene, and Pleistocene Epochs, dating back as far as 23 million years. Mining regulations require phosphate pits to be reclaimed immediately, so fossil collecting is now more restricted in the state of Florida. “The preservation of these shells is amazing and astonishing, and we are thrilled that our collection now encompasses the east coast of North America,” said John Nance, collections manager at the Calvert Marine Museum. The shells will allow paleontologists to study and learn about the diversity of the fossils, and the ecosystems that existed billions of years ago.

Calvert Department of Parks & Recs Athletic Field Assignment
Recent questions about the use of athletic fields has prompted the Board of County Commissioners to notify the public on the procedures for assigning athletic fields through the Calvert County Parks & Recreation (CCPR). Over the past year, CCPR has worked with local youth sports organizations to create the Youth Sports Provider Agreement (YSPA) to facilitate requests for athletic field use by private organizations. County-owned athletic fields serve all county residents. Calvert County currently provides field usage at no cost to all user groups as requested and when available. The YSPA ensures this remains the case for organizations that provide recreational opportunities to Calvert County youth and refines the process to secure athletics fields for private organizations. The agreement outlines priorities for scheduling, with CCPR programs taking first priority due to the importance of providing low-cost recreational programs to all. Private youth sports organizations are required to sign the YSPA to avoid confusion about athletic field assignment and to codify the relationship with CCPR while ensuring due diligence in providing services to the youth of Calvert County. To ensure the needs of all county residents are met, CCPR uses the following priority ranking for the use of county-owned or operated field space: 1. Calvert County-operated or contracted programs; 2. Board of Education (BOE) activities at facilities specified in BOE/ county government memorandum of understanding (MOU); 3. Youth sports providers (recreational sports programs) with approved agreement; 4. Youth sports providers (travel/competitive sports programs) with approved agreement; 5. BOE activities not specified in BOE MOU; 6. Non-profit youth organizations offering recreational sports; 7. Non-profit youth organizations offering travel (competitive) sports; 8. Governmental agencies; 9. Private school programs Calvert County Government remains supportive of youth initiatives in the county and must consider all constituents when assigning athletic fields. CCPR continues to identify additional youth sports recreation facilities to accommodate the growing demand for athletics fields. Areas such as Ward Farm Recreation and Nature Park in Dunkirk and the planned 100-acre park in Lusby demonstrate ongoing efforts to meet growing demand. For more information, please contact CCPR Director Shannon Nazzal at Shannon.Nazzal@calvertcountymd.gov or 410-535-1600, ext. 2224. Press release by Calvert County Government

Dominion Energy’s Lique
$4 Billion Lusby Facility Called “A Big By Dick Myers Editor
“This is really a big deal,” said Maryland Commerce Secretary Mike Gill. He was referring to the dedication of the $4 billion Dominion Energy Cove Point LNG facility in Lusby, which he called, “the most significant development project in the history of the state of Maryland.” “It’s a game changer” Gill said, adding it was a positive internationally, “but it also is a positive for Calvert County. It’s a positive for the ecosystem.” There’s been a Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) facility at Cove Point in Lusby since the late 1970’s, but it was an import facility. Dominion Energy Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Thomas Farrell said the company made the decision seven years ago to become “bi-directional” – both an exporter and importer. The Richmond, VA-based company had purchased the property in 2002. With federal and state permits in hand, the company launched that massive construction project that would employ 10,000 different workers, many of them highly skilled union laborers. “It came in on time and budget, one of the only LNG facilities in the world for that to happen,” Farrell boasted during a press conference held overlooking the new plant and just before the dedication and ribbon cutting ceremony. Former Texas governor and presidential candidate, U.S. Secretary of Energy Rick Perry, stood by Farrell’s side. “This is a culmination of a lot of different changes that have gone on in the world of energy,” Perry said. “The United States, for the first
time in 60 years, is an exporter of natural gas.” He said that’s a positive for national security, the economy and geopolitically. Perry said the message to U.S. allies is, ”U.S. energy will be flowing their way.” Perry conceded, in response to a question, that President Trump is a “disrupter.” Perry noted he wasn’t as concerned about what the markets do or what Trump tweets. “He is negotiating every day to put the country in a stronger position economically,” he said, adding that the tariff discussions would eventually “work themselves out.” “I am excited about where we find ourselves today in the energy sector,” the energy secretary said. The press conference was held with the liquification plant in front of everyone and a 60-foot high, 1,370-feet long wall behind them. The wall is intended to be a noise barrier between the plant and the community across Cove Point Road and Cove Point Park. Potential noise was one facet of neighborhood opposition. As visitors drove down Point Road for the ceremony, they passed protestors along the side of the road. Farrell said a plant dealing with natural gas has been on the site for almost 50 years “We are very conscious of our neighbors’ concerns. We listen to them very carefully. We are very satisfied. We have done a very good job environmentally with the noise.” Perry noted that there’s an 800-acre buffer around the 200-acre plant site that is operated by the Sierra Club. The new plant’s two major customers are Japan an India, and representatives from the embassies of both nations were on hand at the dedication ceremony, under a large air-conditioned tent as the sun fi-
nally emerged after days of rain. Cove Point produces LNG for S venture of Sumitomo Corporation a (USA) LNG, the U.S. affiliate of contracts.

providing overall benefit to the environment. President of the North American Building Trades Unions Sean McGarvey also spoke at the dedication on behalf of those 10,000 different tradesmen who worked on the construction project. He thanked Perry for “his warm remarks” from President Trump about the nation’s unions. McGarvey noted that those workers were there throughout the regulatory process to support the project. He said local union representatives, “did a spectacular job organizing, recruiting and deploying” the people with the “skill sets” to do the job. He also singled out the substantial number of former military personnel who were trained for construction as a new career. Calvert County is receiving a $40 million annual Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILOT) from the new facility. Vice President of LNG Operations Michael Frederick, a Calvert County resident, said he and other residents were beneficiaries of that. The Calvert County community was represented at the dedication ceremony by Commissioner President Evan Slaughenhoupt, Jr. “Calvert County is proud to do its part to make America great again,” Slaughenhoupt said. All of the commissioners, along with Delegate Jerry Clark and former delegate and now Maryland Public Service Commission member Tony O’Donnell participated in one of the ribbon cuttings, along with county staff and Secretary Gill. The day was special for Frederick, who was Master of Ceremonies for the dedication ceremony. As he looked out over the audience and saw all the partners and participants in the project, he said, “I was reflecting on how big a deal this is from a whole host of perspectives.” Frederick, in a phone interview after the dedication, noted it was a lengthy process (seven years) involving many of the company’s employees. He was asked if he felt some relief. He responded, “Humbling. I felt humble to be involved.” Dominion purchased the Cove Point property on September 5, 2002, and Frederick headed up the transition team and has been in charge ever since except for several years when he moved to the Richmond headquarters to work on a special project. Frederick grew up on a farm in south-central Pennsylvania. He graduated from the University of Pittsburg with a degree in Mechanical Engineering and has been in the natural gas business since 1982. Working on a truck farm as a teenager taught him a work ethic “and how to get things accomplished as a team.” “We were and still are an import facility,” Frederick said about regular operations continuing while the massive construction project was underway. During that time, 14 import cargos arrived at the Cove Point terminal, Frederick said. That importing will continue into the future for customers such as Washington Gas Light Company. As for the new exporting business, Frederick said the Indian and Japanese customers have contracted to purchase 50 percent each of all that the plant can produce. He said they are now operating at 100 percent capacity, seven days a week. Frederick said there were numerous challenges during construc-

tion. “The most important one was minimizing the impact on our neighbors.” That included an offsite staging area (which is now being turned over to the county for a park plus a more than $1 million donation for start-up costs), scheduled to minimize traffic on Cove Point Road, keeping the roads clean, redoing the Little Cove Point Road intersection, and just answering complaints as they were received. At its peak there were more than 4,000 workers on site at a time, “so safety was always paramount,” Frederick said. There were no fatalities during the three-year construction period and no injuries at all during 2017 and 2018. The injury rate was a tenth of what a typical construction site would be, he said. Logistics in general was a huge challenge, Frederick said. “For example, at the peak of construction we had 54 cranes operating on 54 acres, which is significant. We were tracking more than 20,000 pipe spools that were being manufactured at different places because basically the timing had to work, the trucks had to hit the site, then cranes had to pick the spool up and put it in place, because it was just that tight of a construction site. The logistics effort was nothing short of amazing.” Frederick credits Dominion’s team working with contractor, Kiewit, with solving the logistics challenge. Frederick is proud of creating a diverse worksite at Cove Point. They’ve hired from around the world, the country and the Tri-County area. The workforce of more than 200 (not including the contract security force) is twice what it was just being an importer. They have full employment but there’s always turnover, so Frederick said prospective job seekers can go on the Dominon Energy website to find about openings. Dominion has also worked with the College of Southern Maryland to find potential employees with not a lot of experience but “with critical thinking skills” who they can train on site. The construction project has had a ripple effect in the business community. Frederick said he’s received a dozen letters along the line of “without your project, I don’t think I would be in business.” Dominion has plans to do more community outreach, including open houses, but Frederick said they will do it “when we feel the timing is right” “We know that getting through the construction phase of this required some patience from the community,” Frederick noted and thanked the community for that patience. About reaching the day of the dedication, Frederick, reflecting Secretary Gill’s observations, said, “It’s a big deal for the local community, for the state and the nation. It’s what we have been working for from a national perspective for a long time.” And, Energy Secretary Perry said during the dedication ceremony, “It’s a day to celebrate. It’s a great day for America.” dickmyers@countytimes.net

The Tackle Box Fishing Report By Ken and Linda Lamb Contributing Writers
The rain stopped, the sun came out, and the fish went crazy this past weekend. Spot, croaker, perch, big red drum, spanish mackerel, bluefish, flounder and rockfish all got busy feeding this week. Spot and croaker are in the mouth of the Patuxent for bottom fishermen both from boats and the fishing piers. The Solomons pier had good catches of spot most every night this week. There were many nice croaker and perch too. Boaters found croakers and spot in Kingston Hollow and from Town Creek to West Basin on the 30 foot edge. The rockfish bite continues to be very good for trollers on the oyster bars in the upper Potomac around Swan Point and in the Patuxent from Half Pone Point to Broomes Island. Scattered rockfish are active at dusk and dawn in the shallows eager to hit most any lure. Big red drum have been caught by trollers using colorful spoons below Cedar Point from outside the Targets to Hooper’s Island light. Bluefish and spanish mackerel are hitting the spoons when the redfish are being searched for. Cobia are being chummed and chunked up in the lower bay. Live eels in the chumline are working well. There is a good run of crabs underway. There are plenty of catfish in the upper regions of the Potomac and Patuxent. We have seen some really big largemouth bass all week from ponds and St. Mary’s Lake. Bluegill and shell crackers are eager for night crawlers or live crickets.

L’il Margaret’s Bluegrass Festival: 30 Years of Preserving Bluegrass in SoMD The annual L’il Margaret’s Bluegrass and Old Time Musical Festival is honored to announce it’s been chosen as an official “Maryland Summer of Music” event. This is a new tourism initiative launched by Governor Larry Hogan that aims to highlight Maryland’s diverse music scene over the summer months. L’il Margaret’s is proud to be chosen as one of just ten highlighted events to attend in Maryland. Presented by promoter Jay Armsworthy, this year marks the 30th anniversary of the festival and will be held on Aug. 9, 10, and 11 at one of Southern Maryland’s “little hidden treasures,” the Goddard Farm in Leonardtown, MD. The festival was created by Joseph and Margaret Goddard to honor their daughter, ‘L’il Margaret.” Once again, Jay Armsworthy is carrying on that tradition by bringing twelve of the finest traditional bluegrass and hillbilly music groups from New York to Nashville. This is a familyfriendly event and will offer a camping experience for attendees with hundreds of electric and water hookups. Appearing in concert Aug. 9 will be Ralph Stanley II & the Clinch Mountain Boys, Feinberg Brothers, and 15 Strings. Aug. 10 will feature Dave Peterson & 1946, Farm Hands, Williamson Branch, and the California Ramblers. The festival will wrap Aug. 11 with Joe Mullins & the Radio Ramblers, David Parmley & Cardinal Tradition, Larry Stephenson Band, Mickey Galyean & Cullen’s Bridge, Cousins in Harmony, and a special reunion performance of past members of the Bluegrass Cardinals, featuring David Parmley, Larry Stephenson, and Dale Perry. Troy Jones will be providing sound for the event, and Jay Armsworthy and Jack Tippett will be your master of ceremonies. Returning by request are the Feinberg Brothers, Mickey Galyean & Cullen’s Bridge, and David Parmley & Cardinal Tradition. With the exception of three local acts—15 Strings, The California Ramblers, and Cousins in Harmony—the remainders of this year’s lineup are all first timers to Southern Maryland. From deep in the Blue Ridge Mountains of McClure, VA come Ralph Stanley II and the Clinch Mountain Boys. Ralph is the son of legendary banjo player, Dr. Ralph Stanley. “2” takes on his daddy’s namesake with the Clinch Mountain Boys, and has earned the respect of Stanley fans everywhere while garnering praise as a strong new artist in his own right. From Nashville, Dave Peterson & 1946 play traditional bluegrass from the era of
his band’s name, the 1940s. He’s a savvy independent recording artist and a bluegrass singer who cherishes tradition. Reigning as 2018’s Bluegrass Music’s “Band of the Year,” Farm Hands are one of the most exciting and in-demand bluegrass bands in America. This talented foursome features veterans of the world famous Grand Ole Opry. Classy, sassy, and bluegrass-y, Williamson Branch brings high-energy entertainment each time they take the stage. They are a fun family with amazing talent. A Virginia Country Music Hall of Famer and five-time SPBGMA Male Vocalist of the Year, Larry Stephenson is highly regarded as one of bluegrass music’s finest high lead and tenor vocalist. Always a Southern Maryland favorite, he’s made numerous performances on the Grand Ole Opry and RFD-TV. The great state of Ohio brings us Joe Mullins & the Radio Ramblers, whose professionalism, engaging presentation, and successful, heavily played recordings have kept this band in demand with a national audience. Their energetic performances have placed them at the National Folk Festival, Bluegrass Underground, Bluegrass Nights at the Ryman, and the Grand Ole Opry. They are, indeed, a traditional bluegrass band. Following tradition, the L’il Margaret’s Bluegrass Festival will return to three days of festivities this year. There will be food available for sale in the Goddard’s “Bluegrass Kitchen,” providing the home cooked food they’re known for, as well as ice cream and non-alcoholic beverages. Various craft vendors will also be present. Acoustic music pickers are encouraged to bring their instruments and jam around the campers throughout the weekend. This event is rain or shine; it’s an outdoor event with a covered stage pavilion. It’s requested that participants bring their own lawn chairs. All facilities on the farm are wheelchair-accessible. Admission is available at $65 each for three days. Individual day tickets can be purchased at the gate for $25 each (Thurs.), $30 each (Fri.), and $35 each (Sat.). Camping is also available for $30 per day; rough camping is offered for $20 for the whole weekend. Camping can be purchased at the gate; to make a reservation, call the Goddard Farm at 301-475-8191. To learn more about the festival, visit www.lilmargaretsbluegrass.com, the State of Maryland Tourism site at www. visitmaryland.org, or call 301-373-3004. Press release by L’il Margaret’s
