By Dick Myers Editor A Maryland State Highway Administration (SHA) official says the Maryland Routes 24/ project in Prince Frederick, which began construction in April, is proceeding on schedule despite the recent heavy rains. District 5 (Southern Maryland) Office Engineer for Construction Ron Ergott told the Calvert County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) at their Aug. 7 meeting that Phase 1 of the project from Fox Run Boulevard to MD 231 is still anticipated for completion by the end of October. Phase One of the three-phase project includes westbound MD 2/4 from Fox Run Boulevard to MD 231 including westbound MD 402. The second phase that will start in November and is scheduled to be completed by January 15 of next year includes median work on MD 2/4 from Fox Run Road to MD 231 including a new signal at Commerce Lane at the Bob Evans restaurant. Ergott said the closure of one of the access roads to MD 2/4 will not be accomplished until after the traffic light is installed so as not to interfere with the businesses in the nearby shopping center. The final phase of the widening proj-

Commissioner President Evan Slaughenhoupt, Jr. said his board was familiar with what the state was doing but he felt the presentation would be helpful to the public. Thanking the state officials for making the presentation, Slaughenhoupt said, “It demonstrates the relationship the county and state have.” Also at the presentation were Calvert County Public Works Director P. Rai Sharma and SHA District Engineer Corren Johnson. Slaughenhoupt asked Johnson if SHA had a “vision” for upgrades to Routes 2/4 beyond the current project. She said they had a vision, but nothing has yet been committed to a plan.

Walden-Sierra Purchased by Pennsylvania Health Group
By Guy Leonard Staff Writer Increasing demands for treatment, particularly related to substance abuse, and dwindling public funding for it was part of the reason the Walden group was recently purchased by a Pennsylvania-based health care company. Since 1973 Walden has been the county’s largest substance abuse and crisis counseling service, but the organization’s leaders say it made the move to join Pyramid Health Care to keep pace with rapidly changing times. “The times have changed, however, and we must grow and change to respond to the ever- increasing complexity and acuity of health needs experienced by the people in the communities we are privileged to serve. With the changes in public funding and the ever-increasing need for qual-
ity treatment, the Board of Directors and leadership have sought to make sure we have mission sustainability, financial viability and the ability to expand our wonderful services. This partnership accomplishes all three,” said Walden CEO and executive director Kathleen O’Brien in a prepared statement. According to Walden, all of its facilities will remain open and it will continue to accept all insurance carriers that it currently works with; it will continue to provide services for in-patient and out-patient substance abuse, metal health issues and recovery support. It is in the process of finding another service provider to handle its program of assisting victims of sexual assault, domestic violence and violent crime. The sale of its assets to Pyramid Health means Walden will no longer be a non-profit entity. Meghan Ridgell, marketing representative for Walden, said the merger with the larger business entity should have no effect on Walden’s programs or how clients can get service or pay for it. “Nothing is changing except for our partnership with Pyramid Health,”

Ridgell said. “We’re partnering with them for better opportunities for our company.” Though the service provider is based in St. Mary’s County, it serves clients from Calvert County as well as the rest of Southern Maryland. Pyramid Healthcare, Inc. is a be-
havioral health provider founded in 1999. The company employs a staff of over 2,000 and operates 78 facilities and six autism schools in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and North Carolina. guyleonard@countytimes.net

Event Remembers Solomons’ WW II Role
Vince “Bubba” Turner, Jr. with World War II veteran Methuselah Pumphrey.
Vince “Spam” Turner had a young dancing partner during the Spam, Time radio show.
By Dick Myers Editor The peaceful Pacific island of Guadalcanal was the scene of one of the fiercest strategic battles of World War II. The island was a key to keeping open Allied supply routes. On August 7, 1942, Allied Forces, mostly U.S Marines, landed on the island and several others in the chain of Solomon Islands. By November those forces had secured the island and its air field from the Japanese.
Every year near the anniversary date of that landing on Guadalcanal, an organization called Circle of Angels remembers the events and the role Solomons island in Maryland played in the battle and in the war in general. Many of those men who landed at Guadalcanal had been at the training camp at Solomons Island. The event this year was held Aug. 3 at the gazebo on the Solomon’s Island boardwalk. It featured a USO radio show, “Spam Time” with Vince “Spam” Turner ad his son Vince “Bubba” Turn-
Bernie Fowler (standing) and Methuselah Pumphrey at the wreath laying during the Solomons WWII ceremony.
er, Jr. They recreated a USO show from World War II with appropriate music from the era. There had been a USO club on Solomons Island during the war. The event also featured a wreath laying ceremony and the Tossing into the Patuxent River of poppies to commemorate those who lost their lives in the battles of World War II. Veteran of that war, 96-year-old Methuselah Pumphrey of Lothian participated in the wreath laying, assisted by veteran and former Calvert County commissioner and state
senator Bernie Fowler and Command Sergeant Major Mike Easom of VFW Post 9376 in Clinton. According to the website of the Circle of Angels Initiative, Inc. (Circle), “We start locally, connect nationally, and extend globally, in public service through policy, advocacy, community development, asset building, and initiatives. Our mission is to eliminate poverty in all its forms.” dickmyers@countytimes.net

Regional Agriculture Center Proposed Calvert Hopes to Land the Prize By Dick Myers Editor
The Southern Maryland Agricultural Development Commission (SMADC) has for several years had a million dollars earmarked to help the region’s livestock producers. The problem is they haven’t been able to come up with a viable program for the money. They hope they now have the right idea. The agency is an arm of the Tri-County Council for Southern Maryland. Unlike the council that just serves the three Southern Maryland counties of Calvert, Charles and St. Mary’s, SMADC serves the state’s five historic tobacco producers, including Prince George’s and Anne Arundel. Funding for the agency came from the state’s Tobacco Restitution Fund from tobacco manufacturers and the $1 million comes from the same source, intended to help diversify farming away from its once “King Crop.” The original idea was to use the grant monies to bolster the start-up of a slaughterhouse. That was perceived as a big initial step in helping local producers who now have to take their livestock
out of the area for slaughter and processing. Several rounds of Requests for Proposals (RFPs) proved unsuccessful; there just was no one with the wherewithal to take a chance on such a risky ent repreneu r ial venture. Step forward a trio of Amish entrepreneurs. On their own they are taking that chance. A slaughterhouse that will be available to all livestock producers is under construction in Mechanicsville, St. Mary’s County, in the heart of the Southern Maryland Amish community. It is expected to be
up and running later this year. The commission held a series of public meetings earlier this year. At the meetings, the area’s livestock producers learned of the Amish endeavor. They also told SMADC representatives that with the slaughterhouse on its way to being a reality, what was really needed was a facility to process the meat, to produce a “value-added” product. Going back to the drawing board, SMADC Executive Director Shelby Watson-Hampton, her staff and the SMADC board members have come up with what they feel is a viable plan to create a “cut and wrap facility” and “added value operation,” and much more, according to Watson-Hampton at a presentation July 31 to the Calvert County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC). The facility envisioned would be called the “Regional Agriculture Center (RAC)” and Watson-Hampton presented a sketch of what such a building would look like. It would be for all farmers and not just livestock producers, her presentation said. It would be: “A Place to Learn” – Farmer workshops, outreach classes and continuing education; “A Place to Create”—For value-added goods such as jams, jellies, pickles relish salsa and baked goods; “A Place to Expand” – Storage for farmers selling cold frozen agricultural products; “A Place for Equipment” – A central location and easily accessible for agricultural rental equipment; “A Place to Sell” – Farm stand, farmers market, meat case and more; “A Place to Unite” – To aggregate and ship to grocery stores, restaurants, schools and more;
“A Place for Everyone” – Farmer, producer, baker, educator, researcher, and consumer. In summary, SMADC makes the offer of the grant to one of the five Southern Maryland counties for “the unique opportunity to become the site of the Regional Agricultural Center, and the focal point of the future of Southern Maryland Agriculture. The project will be open to all five counties to bid on soon.” During the feedback from the BOCC, it was clear that they would like Calvert to be that location. But Commissioner President Evan Slaughenhoupt, Jr. wondered out loud if St. Mary’s didn’t have the advantage because the slaughterhouse was there, and it might be advantageous for the RAC to be close to l it. Watson-Hampton indicated transportation distances could be a factor, but all five counties were close enough to the slaughterhouse. And, also the RAC envisions users other than just the livestock producers. Slaughenhoupt said he hoped the RFP process would be a level playing field for everyone. “We will be as fair as possible,” Watson-Hampton assured the commissioners. Noting SMADC has been working for 10 years to try and come up with something to help the local ag community, Watson-Hampton said of the new proposal for a Regional Agriculture Center, “This is a whole different project and we are excited.” The BOCC and their staff will begin to quickly come up with a proposal to respond to the RFP when it hits the streets if they are to be successful in having Calvert be the winning bid. dickmyers@countytimes.net

Strategy Unveiled to Improve Bay Watershed Health
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) recently released a comprehensive, three-year action plan that outlines its priorities and goals for using current and future Farm Bill conservation programs to help agricultural producers improve the water quality and overall health of the Chesapeake Bay watershed. “Agriculture is an integral part of the Chesapeake Bay watershed’s culture and economy, and it plays a critical role in improving water quality and the health of the bay,” said Bill Northey, USDA’s Under Secretary for Farm Production and Conservation. “This plan reaffirms
our commitment to continue our partnerships to help agricultural producers plan and implement improvements on their land using voluntary conservation programs.” The Chesapeake Bay Watershed Action Plan outlines the goals of USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) for fiscal years 2018-2020, which include: (1) Helping producers implement conservation practices that improve water quality on 920,000 acres, improve soil health on 700,000 acres, and improve fish and wildlife habitat on 120,000 acres; (2) Training 4,700 pub-
lic and private conservation professionals to plan and implement conservation practices that improve water quality, soil health, or fish and wildlife habitat; and (3) Increasing public participation by engaging 27,700 public and private partners and citizens in NRCS public meetings and committees to gain feedback about the agency’s programs and services in the watershed. NRCS developed the action plan, which will rely on financial and technical support Farm Bill conservation programs. These programs help producers plan and implement conservation activities that are scientifically proven to be effective at reducing excess nutrients and sediment loadings. Since 2009, NRCS has helped improve 3.6 million acres of private, working agricultural and forest land within the Chesapeake Bay watershed by providing more than $1 billion in technical and financial assistance to agricultural producers and others. USDA’s most recent Conservation Effects Assessment Project report documented a significant reduction of nitrogen and phosphorus loss, resulting from conservation practices implemented since 2006. Farmers have implemented conservation practices on critical crop-
Today, EPA released a midpoint assessment of efforts by Delaware, Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, the District of Columbia and federal partners to reduce nitrogen, phosphorus, and sediment pollution to the Chesapeake Bay and its watershed. The 2010 Bay TMDL calls for having all the necessary pollution control measures for restoring the Bay in place by 2025, with controls in place to achieve 60 percent of the needed reductions at the midpoint (2017) as compared to 2009. Collectively, the Bay Watershed jurisdictions have made considerable progress in reducing pollution to the Bay and the local waters that lead to the Bay. The progress has been demonstrated in measurable ways, including record acreage of underwater grasses and the highest estimates of water quality standards attained in more than 30 years. According to data submitted by the Bay jurisdictions, overall watershedwide restoration efforts exceeded the 60 percent goals for reducing phosphorus and sediment as measured under the current suite of modeling tools, but additional work is needed to meet the 2017 goal for reducing nitrogen. “Working together with our partners at the state and local levels has led to considerable progress toward restoring water quality in the Chesapeake Bay,”
said EPA Regional Administrator Cosmo Servidio. “As we move into the next phase, we’re confident we will optimize strategies that will ultimately achieve the TMDL goals.” EPA’s assessment includes an evaluation of the jurisdictions’ and federal agencies’ progress towards meeting their 2016 – 17 milestones and their commitments for the 2018 – 19. The two-year milestones are short-term goals, which were developed by the states, the district, and federal partners with support from EPA to help meet the 2025 targets. Looking forward, the partners recently approved updated, numeric planning targets for nitrogen and phosphorus based on improved science, modeling, and monitoring information. Strategies to help meet these refined targets will be outlined in the jurisdictions’ Phase III Watershed Implementation Plans, which are due to be released in draftform in April 2019 and finalized in September 2019. EPA will continue to provide oversight and take actions where needed to ensure that continued restoration progress is consistent with Bay TMDL goals. Full evaluations for each jurisdiction can be found at https://www.epa.gov/ chesapeake-bay-tmdl. Press release by U.S. EPA
The Maryland Department of Veterans Affairs (MDVA), in collaboration with the Maryland Department of Transportation Motor Vehicle Administration (MDOT MVA), announced recently the release of its redesigned Disabled Veterans license plate. The new plate adds color and prominently features red, white, and blue stripes with stars to symbolize service to country. It continues to feature the letters “DV,” to designate the driver as a disabled veteran, however “Disabled Veteran” is now spelled out in red along the bottom of the plate. The idea for a new plate came after George Durgin, Capt., U.S. Public Health Service and Maryland resident, saw a variety of veteran plate designs at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. Capt. Durgin contacted the MDVA’s Outreach Program and provided photos of other state’s plates, which served as a baseline for the MDOT MVA’s design of a new Maryland military plate for disabled veterans. The plate is now available at the MDOT MVA for eligible veterans. “Our administration is committed to ensuring our military, veterans, and their families are recognized for their service,” said Governor Larry Hogan. “The newly designed Disabled Veteran Plate is one more way we can show our gratitude and honor the men and women who have sacrificed so much for Maryland and our nation.” “The collaboration between the Mary-
land acres, helping to reduce nitrogen losses by 20 percent and phosphorus losses by 44 percent. In addition, recent monitoring in the bay has shown that submerged aquatic vegetation or bay grasses have recovered to record levels. The Bay has been the focus of ongoing efforts to improve its water quality and natural resources. NRCS works closely with soil and water conservation districts, government agencies and nongovernment organizations to improve water quality through conservation efforts on public and private lands. Northey made this announcement from the National Association of Conservation District’s summer meeting in Williamsburg, VA. This meeting pulls together representatives from soil and water conservation districts from around the country, who are important to helping deliver key USDA conservation programs. Learn more about NRCS activities in the watershed by visiting the Chesapeake Bay Watershed webpage via www.nrsc. usda.gov. For more information on the conservation programs available in your area, contact you local USDA service center.
land Depa r t ment of Veterans Affairs, the Maryland Department of Transportation Motor Vehicle Administration, and Capt. Durgin is an outstanding example of how one person can make a difference in the way we serve our veteran community,” said Maryland Department of Veterans Affairs Secretary George Owings. “I look forward to seeing the newly issued Disabled Veteran Plates and to creatively finding new ways to honor Maryland’s veterans.” “The newly designed Disabled Veterans plate is just another example of MDOT MVA’s commitment to honoring the veterans who courageously served our country. We appreciate Capt. Durgin’s recommendation as we continue to look for additional ways to honor our veterans and deliver premier service to all Maryland residents,” said MDOT MVA Administrator Christine Nizer. Veterans who are determined to be 100 percent disabled, permanent and total, by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs are eligible to apply for the plate at no cost to the veteran.

Hogan Administration Announces Over $9.1 Mil. Towards Homelessness Solutions
The Hogan Administration recently announced more than $9.1 million in grant awards administered through the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development’s new Homelessness Solutions Program. The awards, made to the local Continuums of Care, are expected to fund services for about 15,000 Marylanders experiencing or at risk of homelessness. The majority of the funding comes from state sources, with approximately $1 million appropriated through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Emergency Solutions Grant Programs. The Southern Maryland region is set to receive $823,256 of that $9.1 million share. “Our administration is committed to connecting Maryland citizens in need to resources that will help them thrive,” said Governor Larry Hogan. “With this streamlined program, we are providing greater access to opportunities for homeless or vulnerable Marylanders to ensure they receive the support and compassionate care they deserve.” In 2017, the governor signed legislation to assign administration of the majority of the state’s homelessness service programs to the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development. Previously, the six programs serving Maryland’s homeless were spread between the Department of Human Services and the Department of Housing. By consolidating these programs into one single Homelessness Solutions Program, care providers now have more efficient processes for funding and reporting; state funding goals are aligned with federal requirements and national best practice trends; local entities have more flexibility and control over spending; and supportive housing options are expanding. A major advantage of the new program is the streamlining of funding to the state’s 16 Continuums of Care, which are responsible for coordinating the provision of homeless services within their respective jurisdictions, serving every city and county within the state. This will allow for more efficient and strategic deployment of state funding. A particular focus is providing services to unaccompanied homeless youth. Included in this funding round are a number of providers who will be providing new or expanded services for this population. In Baltimore City, the Youth Empowered Society will provide rapid re-housing services; in Frederick County, the Student Homelessness Initiative Partnership will be providing host homes; in Prince George’s County, the funding will support a range of youthspecific care, including shelter, rapid rehousing, and homelessness prevention services.

TRUE OR FALSE - PROBATE
Thursday, August 9, 2018
I have often heard from clients that they have a Will so their loved ones will not have to go through probate. True or false? False. When you die, if you are holding property in your sole name, that property must go through the probate process to be distributed to your loved ones. It doesn’t matter whether you die intestate (without a Will) or with a Will. What does holding property in my sole name mean? For real estate like your house or for cars and trucks, for example, the title to the property is in your name alone. If you hold any property this way and you die, then the property has to go through the probate process to be distributed to your loved ones. The probate process in Maryland takes between 8-12 months. Why so long? One reason is that under the process, creditors are allowed 6 months to come in and claim against an estate. Another reason is pure chaos. When a person dies and a probate proceeding is required, the personal representative or executor has to find all of the person’s property in order to report on it to the Register of Wills. Since many people are not at all organized about what they own, the personal representative has to reconstruct the estate before they report on it. One of the filings is called an “Inventory”. This is a listing of all the property held by the deceased when they die. If the
deceased has not been an organized person it can take a long time to figure out what they owned when they died. For example, if the deceased has not left a detailed list of investments they have, often the only way to know for sure what the deceased owns when they die is to wait for the mail for at least 3 to 6 months for quarterly or semiannual reports on dividends or interest. Keep in mind that all filings made during the probate process are publicly available. What does the probate process require? It is a process where filings are made detailing the assets and liabilities of the estate, the expenses of the estate and the monies left over to be distributed to the beneficiaries of the estate. There is administrative probate, which is where the executor of the estate makes filings with the Register of Wills, or judicial probate, where the filings are made with the Orphan’s Court. If a beneficiary challenges the Will or any filings made by the personal representative, the matter goes to judicial probate where the Orphan’s Court judges decide on the challenge. Without challenges, most probates are administrative. To find out what filings are necessary in a probate proceeding, go to the Register of Wills website. Some clients say that the personal representative has no liability for making filings in a probate proceeding. False. The
personal representative is a fiduciary—that means they are under a duty to settle and distribute the estate in accordance with the terms of the Will and the law. Fiduciaries cannot act in their own self-interest. They must make sure investments are reasonable and monitored and they must make full and accurate reports to the Register of Wills or Orphan’s Court. Most people faced with the duties of a personal representative consult an attorney and ask them for help to prepare the reports for filing. This costs money in legal fees, but gives the personal representative some comfort that they are correctly performing their duties. What about “registering” your Will with the Register of Wills. Clients have said that their Will is not effective because it has not been “registered” with the Register of Wills. False. A Will doesn’t have to be filed with the Register of Wills or the Orphan’s Court to be effective. If you think you will lose your Will, then paying a small fee to the Register of Wills office to keep your original on file is a convenience to you. Otherwise, the effectiveness of a Will depends on whether it is properly executed, not whether it is filed somewhere. You can keep your Will in a safe place. But, the original Will is necessary to open the probate proceeding so make sure your loved ones can find it.
Some clients have said “I don’t need a Will because everything will go to my spouse when I die.” False. If you die without a Will and you have a spouse and children, then the estate (property held in your sole name) will go 50-50 to the spouse and the children. The only way your estate will go solely to your spouse when you die is if you have said so in your Will. If all of your property is held in joint name with your spouse and you die then your spouse will take sole ownership of the property. And, there will be no probate because you have not held any property in sole name when you die. So, with a married couple, it is not unusual for one spouse to die and leave everything to the other spouse and have no probate. However, when the surviving spouse dies holding all the property in their sole name there will be probate. If your Will says your personal representative doesn’t have to file a bond, that means no bond is required. False. Even if the Will says no bond, the Register of Wills requires a nominal bond be filed, usually costing the estate $100. The only clear alternative to probate is a Living Trust. True. With a Living Trust, all property of the deceased has been placed into the name of that person’s trust so that when they die there is no property held in sole name, so no probate. The person creating and funding the trust is called the Grantor and the Grantor may also be
11 the Trustee. When the Grantor/ Trustee dies, a successor trustee is appointed under the trust to take over. Having a Living Trust is the only way to avoid probate. But, the Living Trust provides other benefits. First, it is private, transfers to beneficiaries are immediate (no waiting 8-12 months) and there are no legal fees upon such transfers. With a Living Trust all property is accounted for when creating the trust so there is no chaos trying to figure out what a person owns when he or she dies—it’s all set forth in the trust. The Living Trust also offers protection is a Trustee is incapacitated. In that event, the successor trustee simply uses all the assets in the trust for the benefit of the incapacitated person without having to do more. Can there be probate even if a person has a Living Trust? Yes, if the person has forgotten to place property into the name of the trust, that property must go through probate. However, a different form of will, called a “pour over” will is used in the probate process. This will states that the Living Trust is the guiding principal for the disposition of assets. The probate process needs to be understood by anyone considering whether or not to create a will or a living trust.

Third Dragon Boat Festiv
Event Benefits Southern Maryland C By Dick Myers Editor The boats have 16 rowers. These are dragon boats (steeped in Chinese history and culture), and their racing has become popular all over the world. Several companies travel around the United States and Canada providing boats for festivals, like the one coming up August 17 and 18 for the Solomons Dragon Boat Festival. Typically, these festivals are fundraisers for non-profits, like the organizer and beneficiary of the Solomons festival, Southern Maryland Community Resources (SMCR) or the one held earlier in the summer every year in North Beach sponsored by End Hunger in Calvert. The race competition with those 16 rowers in each boat could be considered a metaphor for how SMCR came about and how they continue to operate. They are a community of advocates working together, or rowing, towards a common goal, a finish line. With the successes in its first two years, the Solomons Dragon Boat Festival and SMCR are uniquely benefiting from each other. Southern Maryland Community Resources operates in Calvert, Charles and St. Mary’s and provides services to persons with “developmental differences.” According to SMCR, “We advocate for persons with special needs, to recognize the inherent dignity that is theirs because they are members of our one human race. We promote social, recreational and educational opportunities in which individuals with developmental differences can contribute their unique gifts and develop them.” Notice SMCR does not call them disabilities. They are differences. The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Washington, DC has been the incubator of the idea that started 20 years ago in Montgomery County
and has since spread to seven other parts of the area that includes all of Southern Maryland. SMCR Executive Director Bonnie Elward, who has had a lifelong involvement in social service issues, at the time was a member of St. Aloysius Church in Leonardtown. “The Cardinal does annually a ‘White Mass’ at St. Matthew’s Cathedral. That’s signifying that we are all equal in baptism,” Elward explained. Mass participants are all developmentally different. She had been working with the St. Mary’s County Public Schools on special needs programs and so she suggested to the pastor that they do a White Mass in Southern Maryland. In so doing they found seven parishioners who had been baptized but had otherwise slipped through the cracks. They were helped to prepare for the other sacraments. She also reached out to the archdiocese to find out what help they could provide and found out about the Potomac Community Resources program that had been started 20 years ago with their assistance. Elward found that the Cardinal “really liked the model” started in Potomac and she talked to the archdiocese and Catholic Charities and out of that came the decision to form SMCR and to ask Elward to become executive director. “I felt that everything I had done for the past 50 plus years came together in this,” she said for her good fortune of being at the right place at the right time. Other agencies provide services to the developmentally different community. Elward was asked what is different about SMCR? For one thing, they have partnerships with providers such as The Arc, BayCSS, Center for Life Enrichment and Center for Independent Living, all who receive federal funding. “They do the broad picture. They do coaching. They do mentorship. They do job placement, they do some social and recreational opportunities” Elward explained about her agency’s partners. “The difference with SMCR is we are social, recreational, educational and inclusive. Inclusive is the big piece.” Elward explained that SMCR puts the community with developmental differences together with the broader community in their programs. “SMCR becomes a bridge to the community,” she said, addressing the problem that the general community doesn’t understand people who are different, and consequently shuts them out. Elward said that many of the developmentally different people can volunteer in the community and have employment and thus social interaction with the community. Programs are available in the schools through the age of 21, Elward said, but, “When they get out there’s a cliff and they kind of fall off.” Programs run by SMCR include movie nights out, bowling, game nights, art activities, exercise programs and the Joy Prom. Elward had met Monsignor Michael Wilson, pastor of Our Lady Star of the Sea Church in Solomons, when he was pastor at Immaculate Heart of Mary Church in Lexington Park. She started going to his church and when SMCR was in its infancy she needed a board and asked him to join. He also agreed for the church to handle the finances until SMCR secured its

The race teams have a special spot set up for them within the boardwalk parking lot. They typically set up tents and have their own tailgate parties before and after the race. Launching is from the beach at the first parking area on the right across the street from the church. The county has also set up 25 handicapped parking spaces on the south side of the gazebo in recognition of the special needs persons served by SMCR. Following an opening ceremony on Saturday morning, racing is all day with a lunch break and awarding of prizes at the end. Three teams race in each heat but the winners are based on best times to the finish line. Parking on the island will be limited so it is suggested that you park in the field opposite Calvert Marine Museum and take the shuttle buses into town. The buses are provided by Calvert County Public Schools. As of press time there still were several slots available for additional race teams. There’s a minimum entry fee per boat of $2,000, although teams can fundraise any amount above that. Go on the website to get information about becoming a race team. “It’s amazing and very humbling to stand in that gazebo and look at these people who have gotten together, gotten teams, gotten dressed up, and raised money for a cause that some of them didn’t know any of
us and they come together. It’s a beautiful thing,” Elward said. “And they have fun,” Msg. Wilson added. One of this year’s teams, which knows first-hand about how it is to pull together, will be from Great Mills High School, who are being provided a boat for the race. “It’s about team spirit, building teams. And then come together for a common cause that will benefit the community as a whole,” Elward said. And Msgr. Wilson observed, “And raising consciousness about this and thinking about it. It’s not just a boat race. There’s a purpose for the boat race.” dickmyers@countytimes.net

At What Cost? A friend of mine, we’ll call him Conscience (it’ll make more sense later), loves college basketball and football. March Madness dominates his spring; on fall Saturdays he’s happier than a seagull with a French fry. Conscience, a native of Indiana, roots for the Indiana Hoosiers on the hardwood and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish on the gridiron. He’ll bend your ear about both, whether you want him to or not. Conscience is a pal and a peer. We are both husbands and fathers and are just two months apart in age. Our conversations are effortless. We talk about life, families and music. But mostly, we talk about sports. I faithfully listen to his diatribes on the Hoosiers and the Irish; he faithfully listens to mine on all things D.C. sports. It works. Hand and glove. Peanut butter and jelly. Wings and beer. The media and the president. Errr… In recent years, our discussions about sports, and particularly college sports, have grown noticeably more cynical. We are at an interesting crossroads in life – young enough to remember when major college sports were still amateur athletics but now old enough to have lost all naïveté about the nasty business they’ve become. Seedings, matchups, recruits and playful bantering used to dominate our interactions. Now we often find ourselves debating scandals and corruption - USC football, UNC basketball, vacated championships, Rick Pitino’s disgraced exit from Louisville after a series of egregious missteps (infidelity, sex parties and underthe-table shoe deals), the latest SEC football recruiting violations, the FBI’s wide-ranging investigation of NCAA basketball, Baylor football and the absolute horror that is Larry Nasser and Michigan State. True to this twisted new age, the next time I see Conscience the issue du jour likely won’t be the fast approaching college football season - it will be Urban Meyer and Ohio State University. Meyer, the head coach at OSU, is on administrative leave after misrepresenting (to be kind) what he knew and when he knew about the 2015 domestic abuse allegations against former assistant coach Zach Smith at the B1G conference’s recent media day. In his flummoxed
response to a direct question, Meyer acknowledged that he knew about 2009 domestic violence allegations against Smith (while both were at the University of Florida) but said he learned of the 2015 accusations a day before the press conference. Since then, text messages have emerged between Smith’s and Meyer’s wives in the 2015 timeframe and Smith has admitted that he told Meyer about the allegations in 2015. Best case: Meyer was disingenuous. Worst case: Meyer aided and abetted a domestic abuser for at least three years. Whatever the outcome of the on-going investigation, Meyer’s inability to precisely and accurately articulate what he knew and what he and the university did about it was wholly inadequate. Is Meyer disgracefully ignorant of Ray Rice, Greg Hardy and all the public service announcements the NFL shot to combat domestic violence? Did he somehow miss the #MeToo movement? Did he bury his head during the Larry Nassar conviction and fallout at Michigan State, a sister B1G school? Is he that callous? That clueless about violence against women? Time will answer these questions about Meyer’s character. The immediate question for Ohio State and the question that will linger for all college institutions, professional teams and sports fans around the country is this: What is the price of winning? Is it victory at all cost? Or is there some ethical and moral foundation that simply cannot be compromised in the pursuit of rings, banners and trophies? As Conscience and I have watched the college sports we love degrade into a cesspool of corruption, we have reached this conclusion: throw enough money, power and fame up for grabs and it will inevitably bring out the worst in our species. That holds true for sports, politics and damn near every facet of life. What are we willing to compromise to get what we want? When does conscience kick in – that point when the method of winning trumps the raw lust for winning itself? I look forward to seeing my friend soon. We have much to discuss… Send comments to RonaldGuyJr@gmail.com

The Tackle Box Fishing Report By Guy Leonard Staff Writer
Heavy rains recently have made tough times for anglers but there is still good fishing out there now that the weather is beginning to clear up, said Joe Tippett, store manager at The Tackle Box in Lexington Park. “We’ve had 15 inches of rain in the past three weeks,” said Tippett. “Most guys haven’t been doing much because of the weather.” Still, the Patuxent River has some lively fishing. “There’s plenty of spot and perch in the Patuxent,” Tippett said. “But the spot have been hit or miss.” At Solomons Pier in Calvert fishing has been good there, too. “There are some keeper rockfish being caught there,” he said. All the rain has had one benefit, he said, and that was to lower the salinity levels in local waters. That meant plenty of catfish for the taking, Tippett said. “There’s catfish everywhere,” he said. “They’ve even been catching them in the [Patuxent] River. “They’ve been moving down south.” In the Chesapeake Bay, anglers and charter boat crews have been running spoon and hose rigs to bring in fish such as blue fish and Spanish mackeral, Tippett said. Most of that fishing has been around a target ship set out in the bay as well as near Wind Mill Point and Smith Point. Cobia are also running in the bay, he said. guyleonard@countytimes.net

Singer-Songwriter Scott Kirby Making 11th-Annual Appearance in Solomons By Tim Flaherty Staff Writer
Scott Kirby, a singer-songwriter whose music can be described as a mixture of James Taylor and the Beatles with a little Jimmy Buffett thrown in, will be making his 11th annual concert visit to Solomons Island later this month when he plays at the Southern Maryland Sailing Association on Sunday, August 19 at 4pm. “I can’t believe I’ve been doing the Solomons show for this long now,” Kirby remarked when reminded of the date. “I started doing an annual show there in 2008? Wow. I love playing there so much. So many people who come to SMSA are sailors and coastal people who have a special connection to much of the music I do.” Kirby splits his time between residences in Kittery, ME; Key West, FL; and rural Montana, but he spends a significant amount of time on the road touring. He keeps his own sailboat on the Piscataqua River in New Hampshire. His love for boats and harbor towns is evident in many of his original songs.
Last year, he released his ninth CD, Chasing Hemingway’s Ghost. The title song is based on the roster of fellow song and novel writers who have populated Key West for the past several decades, but the album also includes influences of his life in Montana, where he and his wife, Sabrina, maintain a cabin. Including a mountain locale as an influence is not the only departure for the 63-year-old musician—the record was produced by the Nashville-based producing and recording duo of Andy and Matt Thompson, who themselves perform as the two-man group “The Massacoustics.” “I loved working with Matt and Andy on this record,” said Kirby. “They played all the instruments, too, and they are such great musicians. There is a different energy on this CD than on my others.” Kirby, who plays guitar and occasionally harmonica at his live shows, has had a busy touring schedule this summer. He recently concluded a Maine-to-California run of shows, and is now concentrating on the East Coast with shows in Long Island, New Jersey, Annapolis, Philadelphia, and Virginia Beach, before wrapping up this
tour in Solomons. After a two-and-a-half week break, he will resume touring for the autumn as part of the “Mayer, Kirby, Mayer” trio with fellow guitarists Peter Mayer and Brendan Mayer. “It’s a very neat little town,” he says of Solomons. “Very scenic, and there’s lots of boats. The venue at the sailing club is great, and the people really pay attention to the music. Solomons is one of my favorite annual shows.” Tickets to the show at the Southern Maryland Sailing Association may Scott Kirby performing at SMSA in 2013.

In Remembrance
Mary Roberta Crandell “Aunt Bert” Hughes
Mary Roberta Crandell “Aunt Bert” Hughes, 102, a longtime resident of Owings, MD claimed the promise of the resurrection on Thursday, August 2, 2018 at Green Valley Commons Assisted Living Center in Winchester, VA where she had been a resident since May 2015. Before moving to Green Valley Commons she was lovingly cared for in Berryville by her grandnephew, the late Raymond Wilson, Jr. and his wife Wanda. Aunt Bert was born October 28, 1915 in Harwood, MD to the late Elliott and Mary Catterton. She was one of four daughters and six sons, all of which have preceded her in death except for one brother, Lee Catterton. She is also preceded in death by her husbands Henry Crandell and Martin Hughes. Aunt Bert worked for Knobb Store in Galesville, Maryland for 25 years and through the years became a terrific gardener and cook. She was a member of Cedar Grove Methodist Church in Deale, MD where she was a former choir member. Her favorite pastime was watching baseball, specifically the Wash-
ington Nationals. Thanks to the staff at Green Valley Commons, at the age of almost 102, she attended a Nationals game where she took the field and her favorite player, Bryce Harper, presented her with an autographed game ball and her very own jersey. She was named their #1 fan and made quite a splash in local newpapers and on TV, including ESPN and MASN. She also enjoyed a personal visit from Ryan Zimmerman in her home, which was orchestrated by Jim Stutzman. Visitation will be Thursday, August 9, 2018, 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at Rausch Funeral Home – Owings, 8325 Mount Harmony Lane, Owings MD 20736.
