Drowned Man
Had Turned His
Life Around
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
Daniel Jason Brown, one of two
brothers who drowned over the weekend
off of Cove Point as they were swimming in the Chesapeake Bay, had gone
through hard times after convictions for
real estate fraud and witness tampering
five years ago but had redeemed himself, said the prosecutor who headed up
the case against him.
He called me up that Friday to ask
me about a business deal he was putting
together and he wanted to make sure it
was on the up and up, said Assistant
States Attorney Daniel White. We all
screw up but he had great kids and even
through all the stuff hed done he still
seemed like a good dad.
Mr. Browns family should be very
proud of his taking responsibility for
and overcoming his mistakes.
White said in dozens of conversations
with Brown over the past eight years,
Brown never failed to mention his children or how much he cared for them.
Both Brown and Leonardtown-based
attorney John Mattingly, who ran for
states attorney in 2010 against incum-
UAS Building
Approval Could
Come This Summer
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
After a confusing political dance
over the funding the third building at
the Southern Maryland Higher Education Center would get in the fiscal 2016
budget, officials watching the progress
of the project say the approval for the
design phase could come within weeks.
Joe Anderson, head of the board of
governors for the higher education center, said that for months they and the
University System of Maryland have
been answering questions posed to them
from the states Department of Budget
Management (DBM) that should lead to
the next step.
That would let us initiate planning
for the building, Anderson said. We
responded to all their questions. Were
hopeful the DBM will give us approval
by mid August.
There was a great effort on the part
of some politicos during the last legislative session to put all the design funding into the fiscal 2016 budget despite
the fact that the project was initially removed from Gov. Larry Hogans capital
budget list.
Officials wanted to ensure that the
entire $7.2 million for the design phase
was in hand but that did not materalize; instead, Anderson said there is
$4.2 million in hand to begin the design
phase with an additional $3 million in
the fiscal 2017 budget to complete the
task.
Additional funds for the project have
been programmed out as far as fiscal
2019, Anderson said, but he said there
will be lobbying efforts to have that
money put back into the 2018 fiscal
budget.
The project is considered one of the
most important publicly funded efforts in the region, designed to create
a center for research and development
for unmanned and autonomous technology research that could help translate
defense-related products to the civilian
market.

The frustrating mistake that I keep making is trying to listen to the media commentators to help form a political opinion.
They are masters at taking a 30 second
quote out of context. Yes, Donald Trump
said he has a lot of money in his announcement speech, but he said it as further justification that he is not motivated by money
in this endeavor. Likewise, he did not say
that Mexicans are rapists. He said that there
is a criminal element (including rapists and
murderers) among illegal immigrantscoincidentally, a point that was proven in the
sanctuary city out west. I encourage everyone to listen to a full speech and not just
assume that John Stewart is giving you the
correct message. Put aside the self-grandeur and bravado and you might actually
appreciate what Donald Trump is saying.

Man Accused of
Murder Has Long
History With Police
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
Alan Michael Rangel, 20, the man accused
in the shooting death of Cody Michael Lacey
over the weekend, has faced numerous charges of felonious assault but in most cases has
been fully prosecuted for the alleged crimes,
court records reveal.
On several occasions Rangel has pleaded
not guilty to first-and-second-degree assault and prosecutors have chosen not to
pursue the cases against him. Court records
show that Rangel has been accused several
times with first-degree assault, which often
involves the most serious allegations of the
use of violence, typically with some sort of
weapon. Rangel was found guilty of seconddegree assault in one case with an 18-month
jail sentence.
One case in particular three years ago led
to him being charged with first-and-second
degree assault; Wade Joshua Braithwaite,
who has been charged with being an accessory after the fact in Laceys murder, was
charged along with Rangel in the 2012 assault
as well.
According to charging documents Rangel and Braithwaite were accused in a brutal
beating and stabbing that had occurred in the
area of MacArthur Boulevard and Route 235.
A state trooper had found the alleged vic-

In recent years, local watermen are making an effort maintain their livelihoods and
improve the health of the Chesapeake Bay
and associated waterways. Moving forward,
there are efforts to allow them to continue
making a living and to promote additional
aquaculture in the area.
Why Oysters?
The focus shouldnt be only on the health
of the bay, said Morgan State University
Patuxent Environmental and Aquatic Research Laboratory (PEARL) Director Kelton Clark. That would be similar to saying
its someones fault for being sick when they
have a fever. Instead, people need to think
about what they can do to improve the health
of the watershed and tributaries into the
Chesapeake.
The cleanup will take millions of dollars,
Clark said, and the money is difficult to come
by. The focus needs to be on finding marketbased solutions to environmental problems,
specifically encouraging local watermen to
be involved in aquaculture.
If you want to save the bay, eat Tommy
(Zinn)s oysters, Clark said.
While in the water, seeded oysters will
filter water and breed like any other oyster.
And the harvest is always incomplete, meaning the oyster population will continue to
rise, he said.

From My Backyard
to Our Bay was first
developed by the Baltimore
County Soil Conservation
District. From there, the
booklet was given to each
of the Soil Conservations
Districts in the Chesapeake
Bay watershed area for
customization. If the 77
million residents who live in
the watershed area of the
Chesapeake Bay read this
booklet, and took to heart
its suggestions and best
practices, the Chesapeake
Bay would see a dramatic
increase in health. Obtain
a FREE copy of the
booklet by going to the St.
Marys River Watershed
Association, smrwa.org and
downloading it. The booklet
is available from your local
library; Chicken Scratch in
Park Hall; The Greenery
in Hollywood; Good Earth
Natural Food and the St.
Marys Soil Conservation
District in Leonardtown.

association and make a

of Dr. Miles was Flora B. Bean (18551938). They were married in Baltimore
on April 7, 1896. There were no known
children by these last two wives.
Dr. Miles died January 26, 1907.
Dr. James H. Miles died at his residence near St. Marys City on Saturday
and was buried in the family lot at St.
Marys yesterday. Dr. Miles was in his
85th year and was one of the best known
and most popular physicians in Southern Maryland. He was a man of great
force of character and retained his vigor
of mind and body until a few days before his death, which was caused by an
attack of grip. Dr. Miles was a school
commissioner of St. Marys County
under the old law when commissioners
were elected by the people, and served
six years term by appointment of Governor Smith. Though nearly 80 years old
when appointed school commissioner
by Governor Smith, Dr. Miles missed
but one meeting of the board during his
six years service, and on that occasion
was detained at the bedside of a dangerously sick patient. Dr. Miles lived nearly
20 miles from the School Board office.
