Now a group of anglers is working to use the sport of fishing to spread the gospel. The Fishers of Men National Tournament Trail has a simple mission: to introduce the gospel of Jesus Christ to fishermen and their families and the group does it by holding bass fishing tournaments. This year the tournament will make its way to Smallwood State Park in La Plata April 27 but there will be a sportsmen’s meeting at Marbury Baptist Church the night prior, which will include dinner, details and tournament rules and door prizes as well as a gospel message. The tournament set for next month in La Plata will be a legacy tournament type, which means that competitors will be set up in two-person teams divided into 19-years-old and older and 19 or younger. The tournaments are all professionally run by experienced anglers, according to coordinators of the event. “It draws in the family and we share the message,” said Sharon Shaw, one of the event organizers. “It’s pooling from all of Southern Maryland.” This is the first year that the Fishers of Men tournament has made it’s way to Southern Maryland, according to a statement from Tim Shaw, the chief organizer of the event. “The Legacy Series has a lot to offer for both children and adults. I have fished this series with my nephew and I can honestly say it is an experience I will cherish for the rest of my life,” Tim Shaw said. “As if the series didn't already offer lots of wonderful things, the teams will have a chance to fish the national championship in the summer against teams from all over the country.” There will only be one other tournament fished here in Southern Maryland; it is set for July 13 again at Smallwood State Park. For more information on the tournament visit their website at fomntt.com or call Tim Shaw at 301-481-5316. guyleonard@countytimes.net La-Z-Boy Giving to Ronald McDonald House Waldorf, Md - La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries is excited to announce its Red Hot Home Sale and RMHC Donation Event.

WILLIAMS, Clerk of the Circuit Court for St. Mary’s County Maryland To The Editor SMCPS Visitor Policy Board Given Examples, Not Policies At the March 13, 2013 Board of Education Meeting, our Executive Director of Elementary Schools and Title I, Mrs. Kelly Hall and our Director of School Safety and Security, Mr. Michael Wyant, delivered an informational report to Board Members about the results of a parent, principal and staff member study group for ways to improve our school visitation policy and regulations. During the presentation to the Board, many examples of concerns were cited and shared that were discussed in the study group. Some of the examples that were stated ranged from concerns with homemade treats and snacks to concerns about appropriate and proper interactions with children (specifically a stated parent concern was voiced regarding visitors, volunteers or strangers interacting or hugging their child). Unfortunately, these examples were sensationalized by the local, Washington and Baltimore, national, on-line media and social networks. Let me assure you, that the St. Mary’s County Public Schools is not banning hugging or homemade treats. However, we are raising the awareness of safety issues and the need to provide more guidance and training to our parents and volunteers. We want to ensure that our parents and volunteers are held to the same high standard as our staff by communicating clear guidance and expectations for working and volunteering with children. Also, we need to raise the awareness of concerns with all food provided to our children in a school setting. In this day and age, many of our children have food allergies. We want to ensure that we are aware of the ingredients contained in all food items distributed to our children so we can prevent any health concerns for students with food allergies. What this all boils down to is providing clear, consistent and common sense guidance and training designed to further keep our young people safe. During the next several months, the information from the study group will be shared with parents in our schools. The feedback from these groups will guide the development of the policy that the Board of Education will consider, the regulations that support the implementation of the policy for the 2013-2014 school year and the additional training and communications to our parents and volunteers about this topic. I am sorry and disappointed that the original public message was distorted and caused any concern or confusion for our parents and community. You can trust that a practical, realistic and common sense approach will occur that raises the awareness of ways to keep our children safe and secure while balancing out a positive school environment and experience that nurtures and cares for all of our children.
