Federal Judge, College Trustee Dies
Archived Photo By Frank Marquart
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson, a retired
federal jurist who handed down a landmark ruling
against the Microsoft Corporation died Saturday.
He was 76.
Jackson, who lived in Compton, was also a
member of the St. Mary’s College of Maryland
Board of Trustees.
Glen Ives, a fellow trustee, said Jackson’s
service on the board would be missed as he had
led several committees tasked with its business
over the years.
“He was just a gentleman in every sense of
the word,” Ives said. “He was really dedicated to
the college and to the community.
“He took it very seriously.”
Jackson’s ruling against Microsoft for violating
anti-trust statues came in 2000 and was
hailed as one of the biggest anti-trust cases in
U.S. history.
Jackson ruled that Microsoft acted as a monopoly
in the marketplace after an 18-month trial
in U.S. District Court and said the corporation
should also be broken up.
A federal appeals court overturned Jackson’s
decision to have the company split but retained
his ruling that Microsoft acted as a monopoly.
They chastised Jackson personally, though,
for behavior during the trial that pushed the envelope
of partiality against the software giant’s case
and also for holding numerous furtive interviews
with the media while the case was being litigated.
“We vacate the final judgment on remedies,
because the trial judge engaged in impermissible
ex-parte contacts by holding secret interviews
with members of the media and made numerous
offensive comments about Microsoft officials in
public statements outside of the courtroom, giving
rise to an appearance of partiality,” the court
had ruled. “Although we find no evidence of
actual bias, we hold that the actions of the trial
judge seriously tainted the proceedings before the
District Court and called into question the integrity
of the judicial process.”
The court also ruled that Jackson’s violations
of judicial ethical standards “were deliberate,
repeated, egregious and flagrant.”
The County Times interviewed Jackson
more than a year before his death where he recounted
a 22-year career on the bench.
He remembered many drug and gang related
cases during his tenure as well as the case
against Washington, D.C. Mayor Marion Barry
that eventually led to his imprisonment on drug
charges.
“I had a lot of memorable cases, but it is hard
to pick out a favorite. As a judge we aren’t supposed
to develop an emotional attachment,” Jackson
had said.

Archaeologists and
volunteers from around the
state converged on Newtowne
Neck this week.
They have finally found the
exact site of the chapel that
existed there in 1662.
Scott Lawrence, one of
the chief archaeologists with
the Archaeological Society
of Maryland (ASM) said the
major discovery was of a
posthole in the cemetery of
St. Francis Xavier church.
This posthole is positive
proof that this was the
exact site of the Newtowne
Chapel, one of the oldest
original Catholic chapels in
the United States.
The latest find culminates two-and-ahalf
years of research and excavation of the
site, about one-third of a mile from St. Francis
Xavier.
“Last year I could’ve told you where it
was within 20 feet, now I can tell you it’s
here,” Lawrence told The County Times.
“It’s one of the first Catholic 17th century
chapels excavated in Maryland.”
The 1662 site was in use as a chapel
with land used for burials until 1704 when
a power shift in the Maryland colony led to
a ban in the public practice of Catholicism.
The chapel was dismantled for decades but
St. Francis Xavier church was built to replace
it in 1731 when regulations against
Catholics were not so stringently enforced.
Scott Lawrence, of St. Mary’s City, points to the exact spot
where archaeologists found one of the original post holes for
the Catholic chapel built in 1662 in Newtowne Neck, making
it one of the first in Maryland and the nation.

Jeanne Marsh, right and Teddi Silver, far right, clean and scrub artifacts
excavated from the dig at Newtowne Neck where archaeologists
say they have found the original site of the 1662 Catholic chapel.
Fr. Brian Sanderfoot, church priest at St.
Francis Xavier, said the discovery helped parishioners,
many whose families have worshipped
there for centuries, have a greater
connection to their history.
It’s a fantastic discovery for us here at
St. Francis Xavier,” Sanderfoot said. “Now
we can be confident about where we’ve
been on this neck for 350 years as Catholic
people.”
At the cemetery where the dig team
found the posthole, Sanderfoot said the location
of the find matches the description of the
land as recorded in the original deed signed
by the landowner William Breton.
Breton donated the land to the community,
a copy of the original deed stated.
The deed acted like a map with which
the archaeologists could confirm
the original chapel’s location.
Jim Gibb, another archaeologist
on site based in Annapolis, said
the Newtowne Chapel was unique
in that it was not constructed by the
Society of Jesus or any other arm
of the Catholic Church, but by the
community themselves.
The original deed stated as
much.
“That’s what makes it important,”
Gibb said. “This really was
the hub of the community.”
In their excavation of the old
chapel the group has also found
numerous other artifacts including
nails and shards of pottery and
even unmarked graves interspersed
among those that are marked.
The pottery shards were found
at a site just behind the original
chapel, Lawrence said, leading the
team to believe, though not conclusively,
that it was the site of the parish
priest’s home in the 17th century.

Commissioners Postpone
School Budget Approval
Though the commissioners approved
the county budget late last month, which
includes $89.9 million of local monies
for the $189.2 million school budget, St.
Mary’s County Public Schools will have to
wait another week for the county commissioners
to approve their budget.
Superintendent Michael Martirano
noted the school system met every deadline
and marker requested of them, but the
commissioners are still not comfortable
that they have had enough time to review
the numbers.
Martirano presented the budget for
approval last Friday, and he said he had to
wait until coming to an agreement with the
teacher’s unions before going public with
the numbers.
Commissioner President Francis
“Jack” Russell and Commissioner Larry
Jarboe were ready to move forward with
the budget the school system presented,
but commissioners Todd Morgan, Cynthia
Jones and Dan Morris voted to wait.
Morris was out of town last weekend,
Jones never received the email due to computer
problems and Morgan, who said he
was “sort of dismayed” with such short
notice, wanted more time to crunch the
numbers.
“Maybe the numbers are right, I don’t
know,” Morgan said.
Morris said while he understands the
numbers were reported to the commissioners
as soon as possible, he hopes in the
future for more communication during the
negotiations so they have an idea of what
to expect.
“I just don’t want to make a rash decision,”
concluded Morris.
Martirano said the top priority in his
budget was to provide higher salaries for
teachers, and to create a more competitive
salary scale in St. Mary’s that was “way
off” regional and state levels.
Nearly 85 percent of the entire school
budget goes to employee salaries, Martirano
said, adding “In our business, quality
matters.”
He continued, employees need to be
compensated for the increasing demands
on them through reforms and teacher
evaluations.
“People are jumping ship,” Martirano
said, “and it causes us great concern to be
able to equalize that.”
He also expects position changes, renaming
and shuffling in the near future,
and the new agreements with the unions
will help prepare the staff for the changes.
“Our school system is not just primed
for today, but has an eye on the future,”
Martirano said.
Jones said she is concerned with the
reduction of money being spent in the
classroom, and would like the Board of
Education not to continue taking money
out of providing textbooks and educational
materials.
Martirano said the decrease in classroom
spending is due to the shift to the
“21st century classroom,” and utilizing
more technology on a daily basis.
“Textbooks are becoming obsolete,”
he said.
The school budget will be revisited
during the commissioners meeting on
Tuesday.

them to apply their
leadership skills in their
communities in a tangible
way. This year, he said, the
class members Pfanstiehl put
on the spot during the ceremony
were able to provide
thoughtful and thorough
answers.
Bert Johnston, current
president of LSM, said, “Eliot
is just a remarkable fellow
and a natural leader, able
to get into your head in the
most wonderful way.”
Scassero and Johnston
shared the sentiment that
Pfanstiehl’s connection to

both the program itself and
the participants who are able
to learn from him.
Members of the Class of
2013 shared some thoughts
about completing the regional
leadership program
during the graduation ceremony,
many acknowledging
the friendships formed
and memories made along
the way.
“I have been enlightened,
educated and, at times,
entertained. Now that I have
experienced so much during
this journey, I am forced
out of my ‘bubble’ and compelled
to do more within my
community,” shared Martina
Arnold, Development Director
at the College of Southern
Maryland.
CPA and partner with
Askey, Askey & Associates
Glenn Frank stated, “The
program opened my eyes to
the prevailing cooperative
spirit that strives to bring
balance and reinforcement
to our community’s values.”
“I am always amazed
to find out how much I still
don't know about this region
that has been my professional
and personal home for
over 17 years,” said Director
of Health Connections
at MedStar St. Mary’s Hospital
Lori Werrell. “I learned
something in every session
that I can use in my work
and gained a network of colleagues
I hope to continue to
be in contact with long after
this experience is over.”
“LSM has equipped me
with an abundance of knowledge,
long lasting friendships,
and a long list of things
that I want to do to give back
to the community,” stated
Kristina Moore, Director of
Human Resources for The
Arc of Southern Maryland.
“I will truly be thankful
for all the laughs, all the
tears, all the experiences,
and the footprints made on
my heart,” she added.
Several others commented
on the group’s many
shared eye-opening experiences
and their newly-sparked
personal interests in volunteering
and getting more involved
in beneficial community
and regional projects.
Scassero stated, “I continue
to be impressed by the
great participants we find
year after year.”
“For the fifth year,
the Leadership Southern
Maryland program has
brought together a group
of individuals from various
educational and professional
backgrounds and created a
strong, connected network
of leaders who will apply
the leadership skills they’ve
gained in dynamic ways

Business Startups Could Help Innovation,
Diversification in St. Mary’s
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
More than half a dozen technology
business startups, many with a
genesis at the University of Maryland
in College Park, converged
at Smartronix in Hollywood on
Wednesday in search of knowledge
on how to find new markets in the
private sector and with the military
acquisition agencies like Naval Air
Systems Command (NAVAIR).
But community business leaders
and defense industry insiders
there at the meeting said these startups
had the talent to help make both
consumer and defense related products
that could help diversify the local
economy.
Economic diversification for
the first time in decades has received
the political and financial
support of local elected leaders who
now see that dependence on the federal
government’s military research,
testing and acquisition dollars may
no longer be enough to prop up the
county’s long-lived prosperity.
“I’m here to figure out how the
By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
community can help them,” said
Matt Scassero, the point man for
a consortium looking to make St.
Mary’s County a hub for unmanned
aviation research and development.
“What we’re trying to do here is
change the economy.”
Ben Solomon, one of the founders
of Hyperion Technologies that
specializes in robotics said that local
defense industry specialists had
just as much to learn from startups
as the startups had to learn from
them about finding out how to deal
with government.
“Our main goal is dialogue and
mutual learning,” Solomon said.
“We need more startups in the environmental
ecosystems.”
“We want them selling to the
public as well as to the defense
industry.”
NAVAIR representatives were
just as interested in learning about
new technologies and innovative
business strategies, Solomon said.
“They’re [startups] used to getting
products to market with limited
resources,” Solomon said. “Startups
have the experience at that and
know how to be efficient.”
Some of the ideas at the gathering
included mass notification
technology for natural disasters or
threats to the public, trauma and
wound sealers like foams and putties
for battlefield bleeding cases
and laser identification of chemical
compounds taken on a paper swab
in the field without the need for
lengthy lab analysis.
Glenn Colby, of L-3 Communications
based in Salt Lake City,
Utah, told entrepreneurs and industry
insiders alike that real innovation
from startups took a lot of
collaboration and openness when it
came to sharing ideas, coupled with
the agility to pivot from ideas that
did not work well to concepts that
did.
This nimble mode of thinking
and doing business would inevitably
lead to culture clashes with the
defense industry with its layers of
process and accountability.
“What makes innovation work
is degrees of freedom,” Colby said.

Third Eye Comics Moves to St. Mary’s
Seeking a larger customer base and more room, Third Eye Comics moved from Prince
Frederick to California in St. Mary’s County.
Opening day on June 15 was busy, with 75 customers in line before they opened their
doors and a line at least 20 deep at the register until 3 p.m.
“It was awesome,” said owner Steve Anderson.
The California location is more centrally located for customers south of Prince Fredrick
and in St. Mary’s County. Customers north of Prince Frederick tend to go to Third Eye
Comic’s Annapolis location, Anderson said.

One Dismissed, One Resigned
From School System
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
An assistant principal at Great Mills
High School was terminated earlier this
month, school officials said, after an internal
investigation alleged that he had inappropriate
relations with students while just
last week a teacher at the James A. Forrest
Technical Center in Leonardtown resigned
over alleged inappropriate comments he
made about certain students.
Christopher Carden had served at the
high school for about six years before he
was terminated, said Gregory Nourse, assistant
superintendent for finance and human
resources, before the school system terminated
his employment.
“He was not having a physical or sexual
relationship with a minor,” Nourse said
of the school system’s investigation into
Carden’s conduct.
Initially investigators with the St.
Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office were
brought in on the investigation, Nourse said,
but they found no evidence of any crimes.
Sheriff Timothy K. Cameron confirmed
that agency investigators had found
no evidence of criminal wrongdoing and
that the case was closed.
“There was no crime committed,”
Cameron said.
Carden had the right to appeal his dismissal
to the school board, Nourse said, but
he did not file an appeal.
Attempts to contact Carden for comment
on this story were unsuccessful.
Also, Nourse said that Ernest Laurel, a
technical instructor with the school system,
resigned June 14 over allegations that he had
made inappropriate comments about some
students.
Laurel had been hired by the school
system back in 2006, school system human
resource records showed.
Attempts to contact Laurel for comment
were unsuccessful.
Nourse said this school year had been
an unusual one because of the dismissals or
resignations of several teachers, including
Arturo Vicente Leon III, a middle school
teacher charged with soliciting sex from a
minor on-line.
“This has been a red letter year for
people not exercising the best judgment,”
Nourse said, adding that all three men had
passed pre-employment background checks
before being hired.

Teacher Charged with
Soliciting Minor Resigns
By Guy Leonard

A teacher accused of soliciting sex
from a minor child over nearly a year’s
time has resigned his position with the

The County Times has learned.

Arturo Vicente Leon III, 30, was
arrested and charged June 8 with propositioning
an undercover Baltimore
City detective who had been posing as
a 14-year-old girl on line.
Leon tendered his resignation
June 14, said Gregory Nourse, assistant
secretary for finance and human
resources.
Despite his resignation, Leon will
still receive four more paychecks from
the system because he had served out
the entirety of the school year per his
contract.
When Leon was confronted by
Baltimore City detectives about the
chat room conversations he had, he
told them that he was responsible for
the online missives but said he had
never engaged in that behavior at
school, court papers stated.
Nourse said Leon had never had
any complaints lodged against him
Arturo Vicente Leon III
from students or parents.
“The only good thing [about the
investigation] was it wasn’t one of our
kids,” Nourse said.
Leon was hired by the school system
back in Oct. 2006.
He faces charges of soliciting sex
from a minor and displaying lewd material
to a minor; he was released on
bond the same day after his arrest.

New College President a
Troubleshooter
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
In choosing a new interim
president to lead St. Mary’s
College of Maryland the institution’s
board of trustees believes
that Ian Newbould not
only cherishes the liberal arts
heritage of the college but also Ian Newbould
has experience in dealing with its student recruiting
problem.
Gail Harmon, chair of the trustee board, said Newbould
was able to make strong improvements at his last
place of employment, University of Mary Washington
in Fredericksburg, Va., especially in their admissions
department.
“He’s a great believer in our mission but he’s also
a problem solver,” Harmon said. “He put a lot of energy
into a turn around at that school.”
There, he revamped the office’s policies, procedures
and personnel, Harmon said.
The college’s woes started earlier this summer
when out going president Joseph Urgo revealed to faculty,
staff and students that the incoming freshmen class
would be diminished by 150 students, resulting in a $3.5
million shortfall in the college’s planned $71 million
budget.
Since then Urgo has decided to leave the college;
sources inside the institution said he was facing criticism
for his decisions to replace key personnel in the
college’s admissions department during his two years
of leadership.
Newbould said at Mary Washington he started a
study that showed weaknesses in the admissions department,
that it needed to be modernized and given a
new management culture.
There was also a shift in thinking there, he said, in
emphasizing recruiting students instead of waiting for
them to apply.
“The study told us we needed hunters not gatherers,”
Newbould said.
Newbould told The County Times he was uncertain
what his plans for the admissions office would be,
save for filling the vacancy of the vice president for
admissions.
“We will be bringing somebody in to fill that vacancy”
Newbould said. “There will be a change at the
top.”
Newbould said he would also help to address the
lapses in confidence amount college staff and faculty in
the aftermath of the abrupt announcement of the enrollment
shorfall.
“You have to work with people, make them comfortable
and let them know the problems are surrounded
and being taken care of.”
Harmon said Newbould would start officially August
1 and serve for one calendar year. She said the
trustees did not expect a complete turnaround at the
college but they were hopeful for strong results.
“There are a lot of questions, and data he needs to
analyze,” Harmon said. “I think he’ll make a substantial
improvement.”
Newbould has a doctoral degree in history and has
20 years of experience as a college president at three
different institutions.

A St. Mary’s County Resident’s Guide to Improving Our Environment and Drinking Water
The Critical Area
Continued from last week…
Approved activities in the Critical Area
will likely require planting of native
trees, shrubs, or herbaceous plants
to offset/mitigate the impacts of the
changes to the land, vegetation, and
lot coverage. Because a vegetated
buffer provides many benefits for
water quality and habitat, an important
component of the Critical Area law and
State regulations is a requirement to
establish native vegetation in the buffer.
You must also retain existing forest
vegetation and mitigate for any removal
of vegetation in the Critical Area.
Mitigation rates are determined by the
scope of development and clearing
permitted on the land. The amount
of planting and planting locations are
determined on a site by site basis
using set criteria established in state
regulations. Zoning, building and/or
grading permits must be displayed on
the property prior to start of any work.

Mechanicsville Woman Faces Murder Charges
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
A Mechanicsville woman who
allegedly shot her boyfriend while on
a weekend getaway in Virginia back
in April now faces murder charges
after he died in the hospital from his
wounds.
Lillian Mae Levy, 77, was
charged with the April 27 shooting
of 62-year-old James Thomas while
at Wilderness Presidential Resorts
in Spotsylvania County, local police
there said, with a small caliber
handgun.
Thomas, who suffered head
wounds and underwent surgery to
remove the bullet fragments from
his skull, died May 9 after being in a
coma in intensive care.
Since then, William Neely, the
county attorney for Spotsylvania
County, has charged Levy with first
degree murder.
Capt. Jeffrey Pearce, Spotsylvania
County sheriff’s investigator,
said Levy shot Thomas in the back of
the head while he was laying down
inside their resort trailer after a domestic
dispute.
Levy is alleged to have walked
out to her vehicle and removed a .22
caliber revolver to commit the alleged
shooting, Pearce said.
He added that detectives have
Former High School Teacher

not fully ascertained what the details
of the domestic dispute were.
“We’re still running down those
leads,” Pearce said.
There was no evidence that
Thomas had offered any violence
to Levy, Pearce said, and there appeared
to be no sign of struggle between
the two in the trailer.

July 13 last year when an investigator
from Child Protective
Services reported
the suspected abuses, police
had reported.
According to charging
documents filed in county
District Court, one victim,
who was 15 years old, said
during a counseling session
that Johnson, 65, abused her
sexually when she was under
his care.
The first victim described
one incident, where
she was allegedly fondled
repeatedly by Johnson,
while she was sleeping on
a pullout couch in one of
the rooms of his Rosewood
Drive home, court records
state.
The same victim said
she saw Johnson in a bed
with another female under
his care where Johnson had
his hand under her shirt.
The second victim told
police she had been in Johnson’s
care since she was adopted
at the age of 12 years
old.
She told police that she
and Johnson had sexual intercourse
several times by
the time she was in the 11th
and 12th grades between
Johnson
the age of 15 and 17 years
old, charging documents
stated.
“I think the first step in
the healing of these children
is for Johnson to take responsibility,”
said Assistant
State’s Attorney Julie White
who prosecuted the case.
“And that’s what happened
[Monday].”

Abortion
Thursday, June 20, 2013 18
By Glenn Mollette
Celebrating family on these summer holidays or any
day is always a special day.
However, all holidays are tough days for many. While
millions celebrate others wonder about what might have
been. Some have lost a child while others made tragic decisions
to end a life.
Abortion is sad and heartbreaking. I oppose abortion.
I do not believe many people want to go through with
an abortion. Over the years I've known many people who
have looked back at an abortion with heartbreak and grief.
My first wife and I had a stillborn baby. He would have
been our third son. We named him Jesse Caleb. We were
told just hours before the delivery was scheduled that there
was no heartbeat. The baby would be delivered but he would
be dead. I sat for about three hours in the delivery room and
held beautiful Jesse Caleb. He looked perfect. However, the
umbilical cord had gotten a kink in it, cutting off the oxygen
supply and ending his life. At that time, I had never wept
or grieved any harder than I did at the loss of my beautiful
child. Losing Jesse made me so very grateful for my two
sons Jared and Zachary. Today they are both grown men
serving in our military.
As I held my child I could never have dreamed of killing
him prior to his birth. I do not believe anyone holding
a newborn baby would decide to kill that baby. However,
many have made the decision to terminate a pregnancy.
Most often they are in need of counseling, emotional support,
forgiveness and hope.
Years earlier we lost twins. Karen was about three
months pregnant at the time. Things were going wrong with
the pregnancy and she was bleeding. The doctor said things
were not good and a D&C was necessary. This was a decision
that was made between our family and the doctor.
What if someone from the county or even the Federal Government
had to be consulted before the D&C took place?
We were obviously miscarrying the babies.
A government official could have delayed the procedure,
wanted more information, said no or said yes. I do not
believe the Federal Government or any government official
should be involved in this process. I do not believe in abortion
as a form of birth control. However, I do believe that
decisions concerning pregnancies and abortions must be
made between the mother, the family, and the doctor.
Women and couples make decisions to abort that are
later regretted with more sorrow and emotional scars. For
many years I served as a pastor and heard many sorrowful
stories from women who had abortions and greatly regretted
them.
There are cases that involve the mother's health. There
are the cases that involve rape and incest. In these types of
cases, decisions must be made between the mother, the family,
physician and counselor.

Keystone XL Doesn’t Need DC Cops
By Robert L. Bradley Jr.
If the President is serious about his promise
to "grow the middle class," he needs to approve the
Keystone XL pipeline.
Last year, the administration blocked construction
of the project, which would carry
830,000 barrels of crude oil from Canadian shale
formations to American refineries in the Gulf
Coast.
The White House recently announced it
would not reconsider Keystone approval for another
six months. However, newly appointed Secretary
of State John Kerry has hinted that officials
may decide sooner.
Keystone XL is a clear win-win for consumers
and producers. Construction and operation
of the pipeline would create an estimated 20,000
jobs.
U.S. refineries would produce more gasoline,
diesel fuel, and other petroleum products that are
part of countless consumer products. And increasing
the southward flow of crude oil would help
cement energy relations with Canada and reduce
imports from less reliable countries.
Keystone XL would help move this country
toward less dependence on Middle East oil -- a
stated goal of U.S. policy since the 1973 Arab Embargo
forty years ago.
A chief criticism of the pipeline is that it
would markedly contribute to global climate
change.
The Sierra Club even condones "civil disobedience"
-- that is, breaking the law -- to stop the
project. Indeed, the club's president recently joined
a gaggle of C- and D-list celebrities at a Keystone
protest where invite-only participants zip-tied
themselves to the gates of the White House.
But the truth is that burning all of the pipeline's
deliveries will have no measurable effect on
global climate according to official climate models.
Critics also claim the pipeline would damage
a water aquifer beneath Nebraska. But Keystone's
planned pathway has been specifically rerouted
to avoid such an outcome. And the pipeline has
been fully approved by the relevant Nebraskan
authorities.
The Administration's decision not to approve
Keystone was clearly a deep bow to radical environmentalists.
Fully 53 Senators from both parties
are urging the White House to approve the project.
Ironically, blocking the pipeline promises to
increase, not decrease, global carbon emissions. If
Canada cannot sell its oil to the United States, it
will market to China. And China is not subject to
the same restrictions on energy use and emissions
as facilities here in the United States. China's refineries
generate significantly higher volumes of
emissions than American ones.
Blocking Keystone XL is an affront to America's
energy consumers and energy producers.
That insult would, unfortunately, add to Obama's
war on coal, push to federalize hydraulic fracturing,
and wasted "green energy" handouts for the
wind, solar, ethanol, and electric car industries.
The Obama Administration should stand up
to those special-interest groups more concerned
with fundraising than good global citizenship.
America's middle class should truly come first
with a permit to build.

Staff Writer
Southern Maryland has a number
of motocross riders returning home
this weekend to race as professionals
in the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross
Championship.
The race will be held at
Budd’s Creek Motocross Park in
Mechanicsville.
Brandon Short, media manager
for Next Level Sports, said every track
on the circuit is unique because the terrain
varies based on the region and the
soil is dependent on the climate of the
area.
He said the elevation change at
Budd’s Creek allows the audience to
get a great view of the track from wherever
they sit.
Budd’s Creek MX Park has a
strong legacy, and has hosted motocross
events for over four decades.
It became part of the Lucas Oil
Pro Motocross Championship in 1989.
According to a press release, the
track has fluid layout built into the hills
of the area, and features a soil mix of
sand and clay that creates a challenging
track.
“Everybody looks forward to racing
at Budd’s,” Short said.
Motocross pro and Mechanicsville
native Kenny Day, 25, always
reflects on the number of professionals,
and top talent that have raced on
the track at Budd’s Creek each time he
returns home.
“It’s something I always take in,”
Day said.
He is looking forward to the hills
and track width at Budd’s Creek, because
most tracks are not nearly as
hilly and the wider track allows lanes
to form up in different ways.
Day trains as a runner in order to
work on his speed on the track.
He pushes himself in five-minute
increments to prepare for three-minute
laps, and says remaining focused is the
biggest key to success.
Day said all the racers on the circuit
have become like family, and to be
able to return home as a professional,
at the highest level, it’s exciting to see
his local family of riders come and support
him.
Robert Kraft, 24, of Charlotte
Hall, said in addition to the hills and
elevation change at Budd’s Creek,
he too is looking forward to competing
in a professional race back in his
hometown.
“It’s just a good feeling,” he said
of having hundreds of friends and relatives
see him compete.
20-year-old Nick Lane of Great
Mills, meanwhile, says returning home
to the track he’s been racing on for 11
years is about “the coolest part” of racing
on Saturday.
“Nothings like racing at home,”
he said.
Lane, who will graduate from
College of Southern Maryland with
a degree in Business Administration
Management in the fall, has been
working on adding speed and charging
the track in anticipation for Saturday’s
race.
He believes if he can stay consistent,
he has a great shot of making
a strong showing in front of the home
crowd.
Tony Archer, 20, of Hughesville
has been racing since he was 8 years
old.
Archer is looking forward to
racing on the up and down elevation
at Budd’s Creek as well, and says the
hometown support is a nice change
from the rest of the tour.
“Usually racers are kind of unknown,
but [racing in your hometown]
we have a lot of support,” Archer said.
He needs to improve on speed
through corners on Saturday, he said,
and has been working on being aggressive
on the track.
He feels a bit more pressure coming
into Saturday then at other tracks,
adding it’s his home track and he hopes
to perform well for friends and family.
“I’m supposed to be doing well
here,” he said of returning home.
Eric McKay, of Hollywood, will
be competing in his second pro race of
the year on Saturday.
He hopes to use the experience of
his home track to his advantage, and is
focusing on the top 20.
The trip to Budd’s Creek is the
fifth stop on the 12-race championship
circuit – The competitor who racks up
the most points at the end of the season
is named the champion.
Currently Washington state native
Ryan Villopoto is atop the 450
Class Championship Standings with
193 points, and Ryan Dungey of Minnesota
is in second with 177 points.
German native Ken Roczen leads
the 250 class with 185 points, and Eli
Tomac, from Colorado, is on his heels
in second with 170.
The big names have returned to
the track this year, Short said, be it from
injury or hiatus, and the race should be
as exciting as its been in years.
In 40 years of motocross history,
Short said this year features the best
lineup of racers the sport has ever had,
and called it the most competitive field
in the history of the sport.
“The sport has gotten faster,”
Short said, adding the sport has become
much more competitive and grown in
popularity as well. “It’s at a level it has
never been before.”
Short attributes the higher level
of performance to advancements in
equipment and riders utilizing revolutionary
training tactics.
He added, the riders enjoyed an
off week last weekend, so he expects
the field to be refreshed, sharp and
ready to ride.
“Everyone should be at peak performance
now,” Short said.
The riders will take to the track
at 8:30 a.m., and the motocross racing
begins at 1 p.m.
In addition to Saturday’s professional
riders, Short said there will be
amateur races on the track Friday.

Local Author Debuts Book Series
By Alex Panos
Staff Writer
Local author John Deckelmann recently
published the first story in his series of books,
featuring love, war and mythical creatures.
The book, titled “The Legends of Capia,”
is set in a fictional world in an environment
similar to ancient Rome.
In the series opener, the main character, in
a country that is under the control of an oppressive
empire, eventually rises to the throne.
To make matters more complicated, she
falls in love with a general who, ironically, is
the same person that takes part in a battle with,
and eventually captures, her father.
This begins what Deckelmann called “a
series of events” that ultimately lead her to
interact with the nightcrawlers – a mythical
vampire-like species.
The book is similar to many popular mythical
themed television and book series that have
grown popular over the last decade, such as the
Twilight Series, Game of Thrones, Harry Potter,
The Walking Dead and a large number of
super hero themed movies.
Deckelmann, who resides in California,
Md., says his series brings a new element to the
table that has yet to be explored.
“It’s different than your average vampire
[book],” he said.
He aimed to have the series appeal to
young adults, and wanted to keep the book as
a “quick read” to accommodate a fast paced
lifestyle.
Deckelmann also believes once people
read the first book they will become interested
in the entire series – he expects the series to be
three or four books in total.
He said the second book is already completed,
and will be available as soon as editing
is finished.
It took Deckelmann around eight months
to write the book he describes as a pretty easy
read – it is designed to be read front to back in
around three hours.
“I pretty much tossed my hat into the ring
and we’ll see what happens,” Deckelmann said
of becoming an author.
The first book debuted on June 5, and is
available online at Amazon, Barnes and Noble
and Google Books.
Sample chapters are available online as
well.

Association Honors One of Its
Own at A River Affair
On Sunday, June 2, The St. Mary’s
River Watershed Association hosted its
third annual A River Affair on the State
House lawn at Historic St. Mary’s City.
During the soiree, recognition was given
to the group’s own executive director,
Bob Lewis. A man many cited as the
driving force behind getting the community
involved in the Association’s efforts
to restore the St. Mary’s River.
Joe Anderson, the group’s board
president, said, “Every organization has
to have a spark plug, and for us that’s
Bob Lewis.”
During the presentation, Del. John
Bohanan delivered a stack of commendations
for the honoree he called “tenacious”
and stated, “Whatever Bob Lewis
is doing, it’s not for him but for the good
of the community and the health of the
St. Mary’s River.”
Bohanan presented Lewis with a
letter from Gov. Martin O’Malley which
proclaimed him “Chesapeake Bay Ambassador”
and letters of praise from Senators
Mikulski and Cardin, Congressman
Steny Hoyer and a Maryland state
flag from the General Assembly.
The St. Mary’s Board of County
Commissioners also acknowledged
Lewis’ local leadership. Commissioner
president Jack Russell proclaimed “you
da man, Bob,” adding, “his leadership
has been instrumental in developing and
implementing many effective programs
and projects that contribute to the ongoing
restoration of the St. Mary’s River.”
When asked to respond, Lewis was
humble and told the crowd, “This is all of
you, it’s not me … it’s your giving, your
support, your hard work that brought me
to this stage today.” Lewis gave thanks to
his partner, Merideth Taylor, and friends
and colleagues Joe Anderson and Richard
Holden.
“It’s really an honor to receive this,”
Lewis said, jokingly calling himself “an
expert at herding cats.”

Although Lewis was the man of the
hour, he was also, as always, the man behind
the scenes making sure everything
went smoothly. He ensured a friendly
welcome at check-in and took payments
and offered appreciation for the guests
who supported his and the Association’s
work by bidding on the many items from
the silent and live auctions.
Holden, the group’s treasurer, said
that even the morning of the event,
Lewis was there to resolve a minor crisis
and stated, “Organizations like this simply
can’t run without someone like Bob
Lewis at the helm.”
“We’re really very fortunate to have
him here and so committed.” Holden
headed up organizing the A River Affair
event for the second year, which ended
up being the most successful fundraiser
to date.
More than 200 guests attended and
enjoyed the beautiful view of the river
as they dined on a catered brunch and
imbibed on beverages from Slack Winery.
High-energy auctioneer and local
notable Dan Raley worked the crowd
to garner bids on items like exquisite
works of art, an heirloom-quality quilt
and vacation packages. A variety of
auction items from local art and handmade
pottery, furniture and jewelry to
spa packages and a wheelbarrow full of
beer were donated by local businesses
to be sold in the silent auction throughout
the event, with all proceeds going to
new and continuing projects aimed at
improving the health of the St. Mary’s
River.
Several dozen reef balls, the building
blocks of the three-dimensional oyster
reef project, and thousands of spat,
or baby oysters, were sold. The kayak
raffle was also immensely popular.
In all, the event raised $44,077.
Board member Bob Paul said,
“[Lewis] has been an inspiration to us
all.”

“He’s tireless and we don’t pay
him nearly enough money,” Paul, also a
founding member, stated.
Board Secretary Todd Rudolph
shared, “I’m thrilled to have him as our
executive director because he’s great at
getting us to align our strengths and get
stuff done.”
Lewis’ grant proposal approval rating
continues to be enviable and he oversees
nearly everything the Association
is involved with, often right there in the
field or on the water, getting his hands
dirty alongside kids on a field trip or
volunteers.
A native of New York, Lewis has
lived in St. Mary’s County and has been
an integral part of the efforts to restore
the St. Mary’s River for several years,
earning multiple awards for his service
and serving as a valuable member on
community boards.
Bohanan told Lewis, “Even though
you weren’t born here, you have Maryland
in your blood and we’re all forever
grateful that you do.”
Bob Lewis is celebrated at this year’s A River Affair
for his ceaseless efforts to restore the St. Mary’s
River and its watershed. Gov. Martin O’Malley
sends proclamation dubbing Lewis “Chesapeake
Bay Ambassador”.

Honors POWs & MIAs
Flag is permanently raised at Government Center
The Board of County Commissioners for St. Mary’s
County honored Maryland’s Veteran, POW and MIA
soldiers and sailors by officially raising the POW/MIA
Flag on the Government Center grounds during the annual

war by officially flying the flag. Currently it is estimated
that about 148 Marylanders remain missing from the
Korean War and 25 from the Vietnam War. In all, over
1,600 Americans remain unaccounted for in Southeast
Asia. Officially, no one from St. Mary’s County is classified
as missing.
Members of Southern Maryland ABATE were given
the honor of raising the POW/MIA flag. The group
attends many ceremonies across the state to post the
POW/MIA flag. They have played an important role in
St. Mary’s Flag Day annual event.
“This year St. Mary’s County Government remembers all those who remain
missing in action and those who have returned after facing unimaginable hardship as
a prisoner of war,” said Commissioner president Jack Russell. “We proudly join our
sister counties in flying the POW/MIA Flag in their honor.”
The POW/MIA flag will continue to fly at the Government Center until all who
are missing have been accounted for.

St. Mary’s Department of Aging
Programs and Activities
Vestibular Disorders and How They Relate
to Balance
Good balance requires reliable sensory
input from the individual’s vestibular
system (the balance system of the inner ear).
Most people are familiar with the problems
associated with the aging of senses such as
vision and hearing. However, the vestibular
system is another sensory system that can
also begin to function poorly with age, leading
to a diminished quality of life and poor
balance. At this presentation, hosted by the
Garvey Senior Activity Center on Tuesday,
June 25 at 11:00 a.m. and presented by
Hearing Professionals and Gateau Physical
Therapy, participants will learn more about
specific vestibular disorders in older adults,
precautions, and ways to improve balance.
Sign up for this presentation by calling
301.475.4200, ext. 1050.
Core and Abs Class on Wednesdays
Do you want to strengthen your core
muscles to help with lower back pain and
maintain posture and balance? Dave
Scheible teaches this class on Wednesdays
at 2 p.m. at Loffler Senior Activity Center.
You can try it out for free. This class is used
in conjunction with a fitness card (fitness
cards are $30 and are good for 10 fitness
classes.) For more information call 301-737-
5670, ext. 1658.
Asian Culture Presentation
On Monday, June 24, from 9:30-11:00
a.m., a presentation on Asian Culture will
be held at the Northern Senior Activity
Center. Ms. Bobbie Ridley will talk about
Asian culture, show slides, Origami demonstrations,
and take questions. Egg rolls
and puff pastries will be served as a sample
food. Call 301-475-4002, ext. 1001 or stop
by the front desk to sign-up by noon, Thursday,
June 20.
MedStar St. Mary’s Hospital Health
Connections Screenings
On Friday, June 28, at 1:00 p.m., free
Glucometer (glucose testing) and blood
pressure checks will be available at the
Northern Senior Activity Center. The Med-
Star St. Mary’s Hospital Health Connections
travel to each Senior Activity Center
to offer information and services concerning
many health related issues. They will
arrive at the Garvey Senior Activity Center
at 9 a.m. and the Loffler Senior Activity at
11 a.m., anyone wishing to have their blood
pressure and glucose levels checked is welcome
to stop by. No appointment necessary.
Strength Training on Tuesdays
Every Tuesday at 10 a.m. Dave
Scheible teaches this class designed to increase
the strength of your muscles (including
your heart) through the use of small
weights and your own body weight. Studies
have shown that strength training can
help to reverse some of the symptoms of
aging including bone loss. This class meets
at Loffler Senior Activity. For more information
call 301-737-5670, ext. 1658 or just
stop in.
Limitations No More
At the Loffler Senior Activity Center
we have a practitioner of Emotional Freedom
Technique, an energy-based self-help
technique that has had dramatic results with
issues such as pain, fears, stress, weight
gain, allergies and so much more. Richele
McLeod is a registered nurse who continues
to study this healing art that is based on
the tenets of acupuncture but uses tapping
that you do yourself. She will show you
how to practice this method on your own
for continued improvement. Frequently a
person can find relief after only one session.
Other issues may require more, but it is
something you can continue to do for yourself.
Richele’s sessions are gentle and are
appropriate for anyone. An initial session
will last 1 ½ hours, subsequent sessions, (if
needed) will be 1 hour. The initial session
includes a 30 minute introductory period.
If, after that time, you are not already having
some relief, you may discontinue the
session and will be charged nothing. To
continue for the next hour is $45. Richele
will be at Loffler Senior Activity Center
June 25 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. She accepts
walk-ins when space is available but appointments
take priority. You can schedule
a session with her by calling 240-925-4309.

Reasons to Include More
Dairy in Your Diet
A healthy diet can improve quality of life and reduce a person's risk of developing
disease or other negative health conditions. For example, a diet rich in fruits and vegetables
can boost the immune system and promote cardiovascular health, lowering your
risk of heart disease in the process.
While the benefits of including fruits and vegetables in your diet are widely known,
the medical benefits of dairy are often overlooked. The following are a handful of ways
that dairy products like low-fat milk, cottage cheese and yogurt can make a nutritious
and beneficial addition to your diet.
• Dairy packs a protein- and calcium-laden punch. One cup of nonfat yogurt can
provide as much as one-third of your daily recommended calcium intake and nearly
20 percent of your daily recommended protein intake. Though dairy products like ice
cream don't pack the same nutritious punch as yogurt, healthier fare like reduced-fat
cheese and skim milk can go a long way toward meeting your daily intake of protein
and calcium.
• Dairy is a great source of vitamin D. In addition to providing sufficient calcium
and protein, dairy also helps men, women and children boost their vitamin D. That's
especially important in the winter months when people tend to get less exposure to the
sun. Exposure to the sun is a natural way to boost your vitamin D, but the shorter days
and colder weather of winter can make it hard to get sufficient vitamin D during that time
of year. Dairy products like low-fat milk can boost your vitamin D, which can improve
your bone health and, according to recent research, might help reduce your cancer risk.
• Dairy may help lower your blood pressure. Men and women with high blood
pressure might benefit from including more dairy in their diets. In a study of 5,000
adults, Spanish researchers found that those who reported consuming the most low-fat
dairy products were more than 50 percent less likely to develop high blood pressure than
those who consumed less low-fat dairy. Though researchers are not certain as to the
reason behind low-fat dairy products' impact on blood pressure, some theorize that their
calcium and protein content are likely behind the benefit.
• Dairy benefits your bones. Dairy has long been known to improve bone density.
But it's not just seniors who benefit from the bone-strengthening impact of dairy.
Youngsters who consume dairy can also expect an increase in bone mass, which can
make them less susceptible to injuries like broken bones. Seniors who consume dairy
to improve their bone density should know that a recent study from researchers at the
Institute for Aging Research found that not all dairy products are equal when it comes
to improving bone density. While milk and yogurt were linked to higher bone mineral
density, dairy products like cream and ice cream contain less protein, calcium and vitamin
D and more fat and sugar than yogurt and milk, and these products may actually be
associated with lower bone mineral density.
Though there are many ways men and women can improve their overall health,
it's important to consider the nutritional value of dairy when making any alterations to
your diet.
A Journey Through Time
By Linda Reno
Contributing Writer
The
Philip Henry Dorsey
stayed in California for seven
years. Upon his return he
settled in St. Mary’s County.
At the time of the 1860 census
he was living in Leonardtown.
In November 1863
he was elected sheriff and
served one term.
During his tenure as sheriff, he had a wide
variety of issues to deal with. The war was now
over and he would have to deal with all criminal
activity, some of which had undoubtedly been
suppressed with the presence of Federal troops.
The August 19, 1865 edition of the Baltimore Sun
reported:
“Homicides in St. Mary’s County, Md.—
During the past few weeks, the Negroes in some
sections of this county have been making rather
a fearful abuse of their enlarged legal privileges,
and two homicides and a stabbing affray have
been the result. About two weeks since, Adam,
formerly a slave to John L. Hebb, Esq., and an inoffensive
and well-behaved Negro man, was shot
and killed by a Virginia ‘contraband,’ whilst engaged
in the harmless sport of wrestling. The survivor
claimed that the shooting was the result of
an accident; and in the absence of proof to the contrary,
such was the finding of the coroner’s jury.
A few days afterwards, a Negro named Gustavus
Langley had a misunderstanding with one of his
associates and stabbed and severely wounded
Chronicle
Philip Henry Dorsey, Pt. II
him. The injured party is still in a dangerous condition
and doubts are entertained of his recovery.
On Saturday night last, a Negro named Somerset
Hebb stabbed and instantly killed his brother, in
a family broil, to defend his own life, he states,
from a murderous attack by the deceased.”
On December 21, 1865 just a month after
his tenure as Sheriff ended, Philip married Ann
“Annie” L. Bryant at Havre de Grace in Harford
County. Then in 1873 he was elected as County
Commissioner; in 1885 he was appointed postmaster
of the St. Clement’s Bay post office (he
resigned in 1887); and in 1891 he was elected as
Register of Wills. Life was pretty good for Philip
and Annie, at least until the summer of 1895.
“Luke B. Dorsey was killed by lightning on
Tuesday evening while running for cover from a
storm with his brother, Phil. H. Dorsey, near Hill
Top. Son of Phil. H. Dorsey, Register of Wills.
He was about 19 years old. Buried at All Saints
Church yesterday afternoon.” (The Enterprise,
August 31, 1895).
“Mrs. Philip H. Dorsey d. on the 31st ultimo.
Her death is believed to have been influenced by
the sudden and unexpected death of her son, Luke
B. Dorsey who was killed by lightning on the
29th ultimo. Consort of Philip H. Dorsey. Buried
in All Saints burial ground.” (The Enterprise,
September 7, 1895).
Philip Dorsey died October 21, 1899 and is
buried at All Saint’s Episcopal Church beside his
wife. He and Annie had eight children, seven of
whom lived to adulthood—the only child they
lost in infancy was Alexander Stephens Dorsey,
born in 1874; died in 1877.

Book Review
“Nine Years Under”
by Sheri Booker
c.2013, Gotham Books
$26.00 / $27.50 Canada
272 pages
By Terri Schlichenmeyer
OW contributor
Sitting around all summer
would’ve been so wrong.
And that’s why you found a
job that year between classes. No
more parental hand-outs, no more
wearing clothes your mom bought
you, no more borrowing the car.
With your own job, you had your
own money to buy your own things,
maybe help out at home, or sock
some away. Finding work, yep, was
the right thing to do.
For then-15-year-old Sheri
Booker, the savings from her very
unique job went towards college. In
her new memoir, “Nine Years Under,”
she explains why it was a job
she’d been dying to get.
Fifteen-year-old Sheri Booker
felt “ignored by God.”
She didn’t realize that “hospice
care was the beginning of the
end,” so when her Great-Great-
Aunt Mary died of cancer, Booker
was surprised – and lost. Growing
up in Northeast Baltimore, she had
few heroes. Aunt Mary was one of
them, but Booker didn’t feel like
she had “permission to mourn.”
She didn’t feel like going to
church, either, but her parents insisted.
It was there that Booker ran
into one of the church’s deacons,
Mr. Albert Wylie, who also owned
one of Baltimore’s many African-
American funeral homes.
He didn’t ask her how she was
handling her loss. Instead, he offered
her a job.
For four hours a night, a few
nights a week, Booker answered
the phones and the door at Albert P.
Wylie Funeral Home. She thought
it might be weird, but it wasn’t –
it was interesting, and she did her
work well. Soon, she was assisting
with viewings and she learned her
first lesson: never let clients see you
cry.
But that was difficult. Witnessing
the grief of families who lost
someone elderly was hard enough.
Wylie Funeral Home also did a
brisk business with the city’s poor,
the gang-bangers and drug addicts.
Still, it was a job Booker enjoyed
and soon, she started doing
errands for Mr. Wylie. Then she did
paperwork, filing, and bookwork.
Eventually, she dressed bodies
and assisted as much as she legally
could. She became an honorary
member of the Wylie family for
nine happy years, but in work – as
in life - all good things must come
to an end…
Looking for something with a
great plot? Something different,
delightful, but a little dark? Then
you need “Nine Years Under.”
With knowledge, a willingness
to disclose, and a good amount of
humor, author Sheri Booker not
only shares the story of her tenure
as a funeral home assistant and
the duties she assumed, she also
gives readers a sense of what goes
on behind closed doors there. She
weaves this information – some of
which is graphic – in with observations
on mourners, neighbors, and
the industry as a whole. I loved that
Booker finds a certain amount of
comedy in death and preparing for
its rituals, and her musings on funerals
are priceless.
This is a wonderful, wonderful
book that sounds squirmy, yet is
anything but. So grab “Nine Years
Under” – because if you think
you’ll like it, you’re dead right.

• Household Hazardous Waste Collection
Appeal Landfill at 401 Sweetwater Road, 8
a.m. to 2 p.m.
The Calvert County Department of
Public Works, Division of Solid Waste, will
host a household hazardous waste collection
day on Saturday, in Lusby. The event
will give Calvert County residents the opportunity
to safely dispose of hazardous
substances free of charge.
During the collection day, a licensed
contractor will collect household hazardous
waste for proper disposal. Collection is limited
to Calvert County residents only and
proof of residency is required. Waste from
commercial businesses is prohibited.
This service ensures that Calvert
County meets all state and federal requirements
with regard to the safe collection of
household hazardous waste.
Hazardous waste commonly found
in the home includes materials such as oilbased
paints, gasoline, gas/oil mix, pool
chemicals, solvents, fertilizers, prescription
drugs, explosives and other items usually
labeled with the words “TOXIC,” “DAN-
GER,” “POISON” or “WARNING.” These
items should be separated from regular
household trash and disposed of in an environmentally
friendly way.
Latex paint, however, is not hazardous
and will not be accepted at the event. Latex
paint may be thrown out with regular
trash once it has dried. Small amounts of
latex paint can be left to dry in an open can.
Larger amounts can be combined with oil
absorbent, kitty litter or paint hardener until
it is hard.
County residents may drop off trash,
recyclables and certain other materials at
customer convenience centers and the Appeal
Landfill, including motor oil and oil
filters, antifreeze, batteries, cooking oil and

Staff Writer
Price of Freedom Music Festival returns
to Seventh District this weekend, featuring
popular local bands such as Sam Grow Band,
No Green Jelly Beenz, Jukebox Thieves and
HydraFx.
While Sam Grow is the only returning
act, Rick Mattingly, the festival chairperson,
believes the music will be similar to last
year’s lineup.
He is excited for the talent that is coming
together Saturday; adding HydraFX does
it all, the Beenz know how to get the crowd
involved, Sam Grow is starting his country
music career and Juke Box Thieves cover a
variety of songs and styles.
There will be something for everyone to
enjoy, Mattingly continued, including southern
and classic rock, country music and even
hip-hop.
“It’s going to be a big party,” he said.
The festival also includes a car show
this year.
All different types of vehicles will be
on display, says Mattingly, and prizes will
be administered in four different categories
– trucks, cars, classic cars and a people’s
choice award.
The festival will raise money for A
Community That Shares (ACTS) in order
to help provide medical equipment, such
as wheelchairs and crutches, to those that
would otherwise not have access to it.
The equipment would be “outrageously
expensive,” says
Mattingly, and the
funds help give a
wider spectrum of
people access to it.
The group is
adding onto its current
building as well,
and needs funding to
help move forward
with the project,
says Mattingly.
This is the second
year the event
will be for charity –
last year money was
raised for military
veterans.
Before the name
change, Seventh
District use to hold
the festival strictly
as a social event,
known then as the
“Swamp Romp,” and
No Green Jelly Beenz
Freedom Fest This Sat
featured predominantly bluegrass music.
When Mattingly took over as coordinator,
he decided to take the event up a notch
and make it a charity event.
“It’s the same concept,” Mattingly explained
of the social atmosphere he has
replicated with the new version of the festival,
adding his changes have instead been
focused on raising money for local charities.
“Now we try to make it a little more
personable.”
Last year around 600 people showed up
for the festival, and this year through additional
promotion and word of mouth, Mattingly
is hoping for 800 to 1,000 patrons.
“I’m hearing a lot more buzz about it
this year than I did last [year],” Mattingly
said.
He is looking forward to the community
atmosphere that will be present throughout
the day, adding “everybody knows everybody
in Seventh District.”
The festival will be held at Seventh District
Optimist Field, located just before the
fire department and American Legion.
The car show kicks off at 11 a.m., and
music begins at 2 p.m.
Mattingly says the show will wind
down around 10 p.m.
Tickets are available online for $10, or
at the gate on Saturday for $15.
Visit 7thdistrictoptimist.org or contact
Mattingly at 240-538-7920 for more
information.

By Shelby Oppermann
Contributing Writer
Aimless
Mind
A Week of
Surprises
Oh boy, it’s the start of birthday week again! My husband’s
birthday was Tuesday, and mine will be Saturday. I used
to get so excited, but now it’s more of a nice night out to eat
dinner – though a cookout is fine with me too. My husband gets
a double whammy with Father’s Day on Sunday and his birthday
two days later every year. His daughter, Michelle, and two
of our grandkids, Leigha and Logan took him out for crabs at
Seabreeze Restaurant. Not a bad Father’s Day.
I took the opportunity while my husband was out having
crabs Sunday evening to have a quick bite at somewhere where
he normally wouldn’t eat. It was another one of those achy days,
and I didn’t want to cook for myself, so Tidbit and I went to
the AJ Hibachi Express in Charlotte Hall near Tequila Grill
and April’s Pool and Spa. I love Japanese cuisine, so this was
a treat. The restaurant smelled heavenly when I walked in. I
ordered the steak and scallop combination, which comes with
a salad, soup and fried rice. I always like the YumYum and
ginger dipping sauces. I had an enjoyable time talking to my
server Tina, whose husband, Jim, along with his brother, Andy
make up the AJ in the name AJ Hibachi. Andy is the sushi master
and Jim is the griller. I have yet to try their sushi, but the
grilling was perfect. Tina was so kind; we showed each other
pictures – mine of the grandkids, and she of their 4 month old
cute baby. Tina also sent me out with a nice bowl of water for
Miss Tidbit, and showed me how to use the chopsticks properly.
I finally got it! When I asked her how you can pick up the rice
with the chopsticks, and made a comment that this is why she
was so thin, she replied, “We use a spoon for the rice.” Oh, that
explains it. Another employee, Ye was ever so attentive; your
table is kept picked up and neat. And I think if you ask Tina,
she will show you the picture of Jim’s carved watermelon that
looks just like a turtle – what a great centerpiece for an event. I
was also told that they will be making new, big changes on their
menu soon. I can’t wait!
I must admit, we actually already started birthday week a
little early. Saturday night we traveled over to Ingleside Plantation
Winery in Leedstown, Virginia for their “Dancing under
the stars” night set in their beautiful courtyard. If you haven’t
been there, it takes about an hour or less to get there from Mechanicsville
and you feel like you are really far away. Their
courtyard is surrounded by trees and grapevine intertwined
with tiny white lights. In the center sits a soothing three tiered
fountain with geraniums and violets at the base. I love finding
a table near the fountain. On Saturday night, the musical entertainment
was provided by the Rappahannock Pops Orchestra,
and dinner was catered by The Inn at Montross. The meal was
absolutely delicious. I am still amazed that my husband agreed
so readily to an evening of jazz and big band music. But, once
they threw Marvin Gaye and Al Green into the mix – he was
even happier. We stayed the night in Colonial Beach, and happily
awoke to a Father’s Day classic car show.
If this was the start of birthday week then I am in excited
anticipation for tomorrow and Saturday. Sam Grow, No Green
Jelly Beenz here we come!!
MOOve Over
Cow’s Milk
By Debra Meszaros CSN

Could which beverage you choose
really make a difference in maintaining
health?
What about alternative milks, are
they really better than cow’s milk?
After decades of controversy, it’s
beginning to look like the dairy industries
portrayal of cow’s milk being
healthy is gradually deteriorating. Alternative
milk products are plentiful in
any supermarket; but are they really the
better choice?
Hand’s down the winner in the milk department is
breast milk. No formula or alternative milk product can
compete in the nutrition department. The advantages to
making the choice to breast feed your child is enormous.
Somewhere in this process the idea arose that humans
should consume milk from another animal, and commercial
cow’s milk production was born. In the beginning raw
milk was produced; then pasteurized milk, than homogenization
was added to the process. Today’s milk products
are so far removed from nature that any benefits we
thought may have originally existed have vanished. It is
no longer a living food. Try feeding commercial milk to a
baby calf; I think you’d be surprised at the results.
Get over it
Drinking cow’s milk as been a main stay for a very
long time; many generations helped shape the way most
people view it. What it once was is not what it is today.
Sinus issues, ear infections, rashes, and auto immune responses
are often linked to milk. Like sugar, cow’s milk is
also a food choice that most people will defend; but there
are some very beneficial alternatives to cow’s milk that one
might want to consider. The word milk has a much broader
perspective now.
Nuts, grains, soy and more
The structure of cow’s milk is intended to support a
baby calf that will grow to be 700-1500 lbs, humans are
much smaller. The mammal that comes closest to human
size would be goat. Goat’s milk is much closer to human
milk in unpasteurized form. Its fat molecules are about
one-tenth the size of those in cow’s milk, which makes it
easier to digest.
Soy milk gained popularity quickly but is not “soy”
good. I’ve yet to understand the practice of infants consuming
soy milk. Besides the genetic modification issue, it often
contains toxins, has a negative affect on the endocrine and
immune systems, and reduces the assimilation of certain
nutrients. In infants the phytoestrogens within soy produces
tens of thousands times more estrogen compounds than normal.
Not too good for hormonal balance.
Pre-packaged rice milk contains no enzymes, its protein
and nutrients altered, which leaves it to be mainly carbohydrate.
It is also moderately inflammatory and contains
natural amounts of arsenic.
Grain milks are easily digested, low in sugar, usually
a complete protein source, and contain fiber and minerals.
Almond milk is best, homemade. If you choose to
purchase it from your local supermarket, as with any other
variety you choose, unsweetened is the way to go. There is
a small warning that goes along with consuming almond
milk; it is high in Omega 6 fatty acids. It is suggested to
balance your omega 6 intake with omega 3, so bring on
the fish oil!
Hemp, chia, flax, and hazelnut are also good choices
for alternative milks with good amounts of nutrition but
the king of nuts is coconut. Coconuts are considered a nut
but really are a fruit. Coconuts have less sugar and more
protein and fat than most fruits; have a high amount of
minerals which helps boost hydration. The high fat content
of coconut milk has its advantages but like any good thing,
over consuming it is not suggested. The practice of rotational
dieting again proves the best foundation for building
a healthy diet.
So next time you reach for that cow’s milk container,
remember there are better choices.
