Calvert Cliffs No. 1

2016 Hurricane Season Reactor Shuts Down
Has Arrived
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
Leonardtown, MD Today marks the

start of the 2016 Atlantic Hurricane season. The St. Marys County Department of
Emergency Services and Technology has
teamed up with the Maryland Emergency
Management Agency (MEMA) and the
National Weather Service (NWS) to promote citizen awareness and preparedness.
The season lasts until November. Most
hurricane-like weather is seen mid-August
and late October. St. Marys County is
most at risk for strong winds, heavy rain,
inland flooding, and other severe weather.
In addition, residents can take the following actions now in order to prepare for
hurricane season:
Clear out rain gutters so water doesnt
back up and end up in your house.
Around the dinner table, talk to your
family about where you would meet in
the event of an emergency.
If you have pets, identify some petfriendly hotels in case you have to
evacuate.
Program In Case of Emergency contacts into your phone.
T
each friends and family members to
text on their cell-phones, text messages

can often get through when phone calls
cant.
Make copies of important documents
for your emergency kit. (medications,
medical information, proof of address,
passports, birth certificates, insurance
policies, etc.) Consider putting them on
a secure flash drive, as well.
Get an extra set of house and car keys
made for your emergency kit. Download the free MARYLAND Prepares
mobile app, which includes weather
and emergency alerts at mema.maryland.gov/Pages/mdprepares.aspx.
Teach everyone how to turn off the
utilities in your house (electricity, gas,
water, etc.) so they can do it in case of
an evacuation. Pick up canned goods
when your store has a sale, they will
last a long time and ensure you will
have something to eat if you cant go
out to the store.
More information can be found on the
web at prepare.stmarysmd.com and mema.
maryland.gov.
A faulty electronic device that took an

inaccurate reading for the No. 1 nuclear
reactor at Calvert Cliffs in Lusby caused
it to shutdown Tuesday evening, according
to officials with the Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC).
According to NRC spokesman Neil
Sheehan the fault started in the plants
reactor protection system when it read a
high water level in one of the plants steam
generators.
The high water level did not exist but the
sensor mistakenly reported it; this caused
the reactor to automatically shutdown as it
was designed to do.
All plant safety systems responded as
designed during the shutdown and there
were no complications, Sheehan said in
a prepared statement. NRC Resident Inspectors assigned to Calvert Cliffs on a
full-time basis responded to the event and
monitored control room operators actions
in response to the shutdown. No immediate
issues were identified. The resident inspectors will continue to monitor any repairs,
the companys restart decision-making and
activities related to a restart of the reactor.
Sheehan said that there are no plans currently for increased oversight of the power
plant, which has been operating since the
1970s, since they continue to stay under
the threshold of having three unplanned
shutdowns per every 7,000 hours of
operation.
For the end of the first quarter of this
year, Sheehan said, the plant had just 1.7
unplanned shutdowns.
This would not put them over the three
shutdown limit, but another unplanned
shutdown could, Sheehan told The County Times. They are under the normal level
of NRC oversight at the moment.
The last unplanned shutdown for Calvert Cliffs occurred back in January when
Winter Storm Jonas was likely the cause
of a main power cable for a power transformer came loose.
Plant workers also found condenser tube
leakage that could also have caused further
damage to the plant immediately after the
winter storm, the NRC reported then.

East Run Health Center

in Lexington Park
UnderConstruction
MedStar Partners with Walden and Greater Baden

to Fill Health Care Gap
One of the tall steel construction beams
that will support a new three story medical arts building in Lexington Park was
put into place during ongoing construction May 10. MedStar St. Marys Hospitals
(MSMH) partnership with Greater Baden
Medical Services, Inc. and Walden Behavioral Health to bring the new East Run
Health Center to Great Mills Road will provide residents with additional options for
medical care at a single location.
This community health center aligns
with MedStar St. Marys priority to continue to provide integrated care for our communities, said Stephen Michaels, MD,
MSMH chief operating officer and chief
medical officer. It addresses a vital need
for health services in the southern part of
St. Marys County, while providing residents with convenient one-stop access to
those services.
Community studies focused on local
healthcare needs have identified Lexington
Park as an underserved area. Through this
project, MedStar St. Marys and partnering
organizations are working together to help
meet those needs.
Our partnership has evolved from
Waldens collaboration with MedStar St.
Marys, supporting the Health Connections
van at our Hope Place location and providing behavioral health screeningservices,
stated Dr. Kathleen OBrien, chief executive officer,Walden Behavioral Health. As

the behavioral health partner in this project, we look forward to working with MedStar St. Marys and Greater Baden to bring
comprehensive integrated healthcare to St.
Marys County.
Greater Baden joins our partners in enthusiastically awaiting the completion of
this
state-of-the-art facility, said
Colenthia Malloy, chief executive officer
of Greater Baden Medical Services, Inc.
Having an access point at this location
will afford us the opportunity to provide
the highest quality of care for our insured
and uninsured neighbors in Lexington Park
and surrounding communities.
Scheduled to open in the spring of 2017,
the innovative community health center
is being developed by The Cherry Cove
Group near the corner of Chancellors Run
and Great Mills Roads and includes a floor
plan designed to foster integrated team
treatment planning and discussion.
We see this not only as a great opportunity for our region, but it will be transformational for the Great Mills corridor and its
residents, said Brian K. Norris, president
and chief executive officer of The Cherry
Cove Group. East Run Health Center will
bring excellent health care closer to where
many people work, live and commute.

Survivors Day Picnic on Sunday,
June 5 from 1 to 3:30 p.m.
on the hospital grounds.
Free and open to all cancer survivors and their
families, this years picnic will be filled with joy,
camaraderie, hope, and love as we honor cancer
survivors, their family and friends. Laura Bruce,
Cancer Survivor will speak on yoga and nutrition
for patients with cancer. Delicious down home
Southern Maryland cooking will be available for all.
For more information, call 301-475-6070.
Event Celebrates Cancer Survivors, Family Members, Caregivers

Leonardtown, Maryland (May 27,
2016) MedStar St. Marys Hospital
will hold a picnic in conjunction with
National Cancer Survivors Day beginning at 1 p.m. on Sunday, June 5,
on the hospitals front lawn. MedStar
St. Marys joins thousands of communities across the globe holding
celebrations to honor cancer survivors and to show the world that life
after a cancer diagnosis can be fruitful, rewarding and even inspiring.
Hosted by MedStar St. Marys
Cancer Care & Infusion Services
(CCIS), the lunch will feature a
home-style Southern-cooked meal,
entertainment and inspirational
speakers.
Our annual picnic celebrates survivors and families and helps show
the community that there is life after
cancer and it can be fulfilling and rewarding, said Joan Popielski, RN,
BSN, CRNI, CCIS director.
Anyone living with a history of
cancer from the moment of diagnosis through the remainder of life
is a cancer survivor, according to
the National Cancer Survivors Day
Foundation. In the United States
alone, there are more than 14.5 million people living with a history of
cancer.
Major advances in cancer prevention, early detection and treatment
have resulted in longer survival, and
therefore, a growing number of cancer survivors. However, a cancer diagnosis can leave a host of problems
in its wake. Physical, financial, and
emotional hardships often persist for
years after diagnosis and treatment.
Survivors may face many challenges, such as limited access to cancer
specialists and promising new treatments, inadequate health insurance,

financial hardships, difficulty finding
employment, psychosocial struggles,
and a lack of understanding from
family and friends. In light of these
difficulties, our community needs to
focus on improving the quality of life
for cancer survivors.
This event is an opportunity to
celebrate not just the survivors and
those living with cancer, but also
their families, friends and caregivers, said Popielski. We honor them
for their courage and support them in
their efforts to return to a happy and
fulfilling life.

event or call CCIS at 301-475-6070.

NEW EXHIBIT OPENS IN THE

MEZZANINE GALLERY
Vanished Steamboats on display now through December

Steamboats were once a familiar site
on the Chesapeake Bay and provided rural tidewater areas a lifeline to Baltimore,
Norfolk, and Washington, D.C. Vanished
Steamboats: The Maritime Art of C. Leslie
Oursler, beautifully captures the spirit of a
bygone age through several art mediums.
The exhibit is on display in the museums
Mezzanine Gallery now through the end of
December.
Vanished Steamboats offers a thoughtful perspective of Ourslers lifework not
only in paintings, but also in sketches,
drawings, ships models, and ceramics.
As a backdrop for the artworks, museum
muralist Tim Scheirer created a 36 image
of one of Ourslers drawings. The exhibit
includes a graphic explanation of how he
took a 36 drawing and created a 36 mural, illustrating each step in the process.
Clarence Leslie Oursler (1913-1987), a
self-taught Maryland artist had a passion
for painting ships, seascapes, and waterside scenes of the Chesapeake Bay region.
Oursler painted over 180 marine works
during his career and the Calvert Marine
Museum is fortunate to curate the largest
collection of his works dating from 1967
to 1986. The exhibit explores the changes
in the artists painting techniques from his
realistic portrayals at the height of his career to a more impressionistic approach to
painting in his later years.
For generations, steamboats affected
the way people traveled, earned a living,
and socialized around the bay. Vanished
Steamboats depicts the beauty of these
vanished icons with selected works from
the museums collection, along with items
loaned for the exhibit by steamboat historian and guest curator, Jack Shaum.
Jack Shaum, a Baltimore native and
veteran reporter who worked in print and
broadcast journalism, met Oursler in the
1960s through their shared interest in
steamboats. They became good friends and
Shaum began collecting the artists works.
His love for steamboats and his journalism

career allowed Shaum to profile the artist

on several occasions. He was guest curator
for CMMs first C. Leslie Oursler exhibit
in 1991 and spoke at the private opening
of this new exhibit on May 6. Speaking
about Ourslers work, Shaum said: His
work deserves to be better known and its
wonderful that the museum has so many of
his paintings. This exhibit is a very good
cross-section of his work.
C. Leslie Ourslers artwork also appears
in the collections of the Chesapeake Bay
Maritime Museum, The Mariners Museum, the Maryland Historical Society, the
Steamship Historical Society of America,
and the Steamboat Era Museum, as well as
in many privately held collections.
The museum will host a lecture series
around the Vanished Steamboats exhibit in
the fall of 2016. Jack Shaum, guest curator and steamboat historian, will return on
Thursday, September 8, to share his stories
about the artist and his works. Ralph Eshelman, local historian and former CMM
director, will talk about steamboats in
Southern Maryland on Thursday, October 6. On Thursday, November 10, Pete
Lesher, Curator of Maritime History at the
Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum, will
talk about steamboats in the Chesapeake.

CSM Sets Tuition for Fall 2016
Budget Supports New CTET Building, Mediation & Adult Education

The College of Southern Maryland
Board of Trustees set tuition at its May 19
board meeting for the upcoming academic
year, with a 2.5 percent increasefor Southern Maryland students, effective fall 2016.
Tuition for residents of Calvert, Charles
and St. Marys counties will increase by
$3 per credit to $123 per credit. Tuition
for Maryland residents outside of the tricounty region will increase by $6 per credit
to $213 per credit and for out-of-state residents by $7 per credit to $275 per credit.
The comprehensive fee remains at 23 percent of tuition.
CSMs operating budget is supported
by funding from the state, the three counties of Southern Maryland, and tuition and
fees. The Fiscal Year 2017 (FY17) budget
of $63,510,161 is based on approved funding by the state and Calvert, Charles and
St. Marys counties. Of the total revenues,
tuition and fees constitute nearly 48 percent, county appropriations 29 percent and
state funding nearly 22 percent with 1 percent from other sources.
Our budget is based on conservative

revenue estimates, and we are particularly
grateful for the increased support we expect from the state this year and the continued commitments by the boards of county
commissioners in Calvert, Charles and St.
Marys counties. Due to these commitments, the college has been able to keep tuition increases reasonable in order to continue to provide a quality education, said
CSM President Dr. Brad Gottfried.
Gottfried noted that within our community, CSM is the first choice for Southern Marylands college-bound students
and with our growing number of transfer
articulations and guaranteed admissions,
our graduates are able to move through
their first two years of college near home
and at a substantial savings over state colleges and universities. More importantly,
beyond cost and convenience, CSM offers
an education that includes rigorous scholars and honors programs, study abroad opportunities, and collegiate societies, clubs
and athletics.
In presenting the recommended budget to the Board of Trustees, CSM Vice

President of Financial and Administrative
Services Tony Jernigan, CPA, advised the
colleges FY17 operating budget reflects
conservative estimated revenues with a 0.7
percent increase in county support and a
6.6 percent increase in state aid from FY16.
Overall, the FY17 budget is nearly equal
to FY16s with less than a 1 percent increase while including funds to begin operations at the new Regional Hughesville
Campus upon the anticipated completion
midway through the year of the Center for
Trades and Energy Training. The budget
includes an adult education coordinator
to support the Prince Frederick and Leonardtown campuses, the fifth-grade water
safety program at Leonardtown Campus

ODonnell Gets Appointment to Public Service Commission

By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
Del. Anthony J. ODonnell,
perhaps the longest serving Republican in the Maryland House
of Delegates has received an appointment to serve on the states
Public Service Commission,
which regulates the construction
and operations of public utilites in
the state.
It also means he will have to
vacate his senior position in the
District 29 legislative delegation;
Gov. Larry Hogan, who gave
CONVERT
YOUR
ODonnell the appointment, will

also chose his successor by selecting a name from a list given
to him by the Republican central
committes of both St. Marys and
Calvert counties.
A press secretary speaking on
behalf of Hogans administration,
Shareese Churchill, confirmed
Wednesday that ODonnell had
received the appointment some
time in the last two weeks.
The exact date when ODonnell
will take his seat is still to be determined, she said.
But he will start some time
this summer, Churchill said.
There are just some transitional
aspects to be worked out.
ODonnell said that the vacancy on the Public Service Commission will not technically come
open until July 1, but called the
appointment a done deal.
Im honored to be considered
by the governor for this position,
ODonnell said. Im looking forward to new challenges.
Ive been honored to serve the
citizens of Calvert and St. Marys
counties and Ill continue to serve
them just in a new venue.
Julie Burk-Greer, chair of the

St. Marys County Republican
Central Committee, said they
would be furnishing options
to the governors office for his
consideration.
We have 30 days to give three
names to the governor, BurkGreer told The County Times.
She said the committee would
be reaching out to GOP members
and would be looking for possible
candidates to seek out the committees approval.
The basic requirements for
consideration as a candidate,
Burk-Greer said, were residency
in Dist. 29C, which is mostly in
Calvert County but has a small
portion of St. Marys, for at least
six months and being a registered
Republican.
Of course well be looking for
more than that, Burk-Greer said.
We would not exclude anyone
theyll have to go through a vetting process.
The central committee, with
some assistance from the governors office, would determine the
qualifications of candidates before sending their three-name list
to Hogan, she said.

They would consider GOP
members who had held prior public office, were currently serving
in office or those who had yet to
serve, Burk-Greer said.
She said, however, that they
would not begin coalating names
until there was an official announcement from the governors
office.
Greg Ostrander, chair of the
Calvert County GOP central
committee, said that his group
might work together with the St.
Marys organization to come up
with a unified list but a separate
list was not out of the question.
We could each submit
our own list, Ostrander told
The County Times. I think
ODonnell has been an outstanding representative.
Hes going to be missed.
For years ODonnell served as
the minority leader in the House
of Delegates, frequently voicing
strong opposition to the policies
and practices of then Democrat
Gov. Martin OMalley.
ODonnell was often viewed as
one of the most socially and fis-

cally conservative voices in the

legislature.
He lost his bid for relection to
that post several years ago but
continued to enjoy strong support
in his district.
Todd Eberly, professor of political science at St. Marys College
of Maryland, said ODonnells appointment represented a serious
decrease in the experience level
of the local delegation.
Former delegate John Bohanon
lost his seat in the last election as
did former senator Roy Dyson
to GOP opponents and John F.
Wood retired from his delegates
seat as well.
Its rough, Eberly said, careful not to pass judgement on the
current performance of newer
office holders. Its a tremendous blow to the seniority of the
delegation.
They [former office holders] had tremendous institutional
knowledge and connections in

SMCSO Investigating Multiple

Thefts To Motor Vehicles at
Myrtle Point Park in California
On May 25, 2016, at approximately 3:30
p.m., officers responded to Myrtle Point
Park in California, for the report of underage drinking and fighting on the beach.
While responding to the scene, a witness
called 911 advising multiple suspects were
breaking into motor vehicles and stealing
property. Upon arriving on the scene, Cpl.
James Stone observed two of the suspects
inside a vehicle and determined it to be
one they had broken into earlier. Stone attempted to detain them at which time, one
suspect ran and a foot chase ensued. Maryland State Police Trooper Evan Krenik detained the second suspect, Christian Jamal
White, age 20, of Waldorf, who remained
at the vehicle.
Sgt. Clay Safford gave chase and apprehended a 17-year-old male suspect from
Waldorf, MD.
In their possession were a large amount
of small plastic containers containing suspected marijuana and multiple suspected
Alprazolam tablets, in addition to suspected stolen propertyincluding cell phones.
Further investigation revealed, a total of
six suspects. One of the six suspects stole
an iPhone off a beach towel, and all of the
suspect(s) were witnessed selling suspected
marijuana.
Two additional suspects Damon Lamont

Pleasant Jr, age 18, of Waldorf, MD, and
Jelonnie Dujuan Johnson, age 19 of Waldorf, MD, were located a short time later
by DFC Vince Pontorno in the same area.
Johnson initially provided a false name and
identification to DFC Pontorno.
A fifth suspect, a 17 year-old-juvenile,
was located later at Elms Beach in St.
James. In his possession were materials indicating he was selling narcotics out of his
bookbag.
All five suspects were arrested and
charged with various criminal and drug offenses. The Sheriffs Office is seeking the
publics help locating the sixth suspect, who
deputies believe was operating a dark colored Honda Civic at the time of the thefts.
Deputies recovered multiple stolen items
believed to have been taken from a minimum of six vehicles and returned them to
their owners. However, there is still stolen
property which has not been claimed.
Deputies believe the suspects are responsible for additional thefts from motor vehicles and beach towels at Myrtle Point Park.
If you believe you have been a victim of
theft or have additional information, please
contact Corporal James Stone at James.

Charlotte Hall Man Faces

Child Sex Solicitation Charge
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
Maryland State Troopers operating undercover have charged a man they say was
trying to solicit a person he believed was
a 13-year-old girl for sex, though it was a
trooper on-line acting as bait.
The arrest of Joseph R. Hall, 32, of Charlotte Hall occurred Monday, about one day
after he solicited the undercover trooper in
an on-line classified advertisement seeking
sex that Hall is alleged to have posted, according to charging documents.
While conversing with the undercover
trooper on-line, Hall is alleged to have conversed about the possibility of having different sexual encounters with the 13-yearold subject.
Well Im looking to either cause I
dont get enough at home, Hall is alleged
to have written on-line according to charging documents.
Eventually Hall arranged to meet the
13-year-old girl at the First Colony Way
shopping center parking lot; he gave the
undercover officer a photo of himself and
his cell phone electronically.
When Hall arrived at the meeting he was

found by law officers and arrested.
When interviewed by police Hall admitted to having the conversation with the
trooper on-line with the expectation that
he was communicating with a 13-year-old
girl, charging documents stated.
Hall stated he did not know what he
was thinking or why he even drove to the
location in an attempt to meet the 13-yearold female, police wrote in charging
documents.
Armed Robbery Conspirator

Takes Plea
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
One of four men involved in a dual-commercial robbery scheme who helped plot
the heists pleaded guilty in federal court
this week to conspiring to commit armed
robbery.
Abdelrahim Ayyad, 51, of White Plains
admitted to being part of the armed robberies of a pharmacy and a jewelry store, both
in Charlotte Hall, back in 2014.
Federal authorities with the U.S. Attorneys Office in Greenbelt allege that
Ayyad, along with conspirator Michael
Burgess, aided Furman Troy and Darrell
Lee with the robberies.
They state that Ayyad drove the three
conspirators to the T.C. Martin Jewelers
store on June 18 of 2014 in a Cadillac Escalade and handed a Troy a handgun that he
and Lee used to rob the store.
The two men threatened the two attendents with the gun and bound them both
with duct tape.
The two entry men took about $2,250,
numerous pieces of jewelry estimated at
just under $9,000, a computer and other
items.
The two of them fled to the getaway vehicle and drove off with Ayyad and Burgess, federal authorities state, and sold
the stolen items and divided the proceeds
among themselves.
Just four days later Ayyad and Burgess

again drove to the New Market Pharmacy
with Troy and Lee following in a Jaguar,
federal authorities stated, and used similar
methods to hold up that store.
The two entry men then stole $500, as
well as bottles of narcotics such as oxycodone, methadone, hydrocodone and Endocet, all valued at just under $9,000.
After the robbery both pairs of men fled
the scene in their respective vehicles, federal authorities stated.

You Should Know
Memorial Day 2016: A day to Remember

Freedom is Not Free
By David Spigler
In Tribute to Sergeant Arick l. Lore
For many folks, Memorial Day conjures up many thoughts and feelings. Its
the unofficial start of summer. Its time to
head to the beaches or open the swimming
pools. Its the end of the school year and
for some, its the transition to a new life
through doors that suddenly open with
the keys of a college degree. Its a happy
time for most and it is easy to lose sight of
the significance of this Holiday everyone
looks forward to.
Dont get me wrong, these are great
reasons for kicking back and relaxing and
enjoying life! But, I think it is also an opportunity for all of us to pause and reflect
and remember those heroes whose ultimate sacrifices allow us to enjoy this wonderful American way of life other people
throughout the world dream of for themselves and their families!!! I am sure we
all have a member of our family tree or a
neighbor or friend who served in our military and was lost defending our freedoms.
We still read of great American Navy
Seals, Army Rangers, Air Force pilots,
our proud Marines, and Coast Guard personnel who were lost while in the line of
duty doing that they signed on to do. Great
men and women with the same dreams and
hopes we all aspire to, Americans just like
us!
In Southern Maryland there are many
events held to recognize the ultimate sacrifices of these heroes. One that is especially significant is held here in Solomons
for a young man who left this sleepy little
seaside village at the age of 26 to join the
Army in November of 1917. Sergeant Arick L. Lore was the oldest of nine children
of Sadie and Joseph Lore and felt the need
to represent his family in joining our fight
in Europe during the latter days of WWI.
He was a terrific baseball player. He enjoyed helping his parents with the raising
of his younger brothers and sisters and
helping with the pancake breakfasts held
at his Episcopal Church. Following induction at Camp Meade [now Fort Meade],
Maryland and completion of Boot Camp at
Camp Green, North Carolina, he boarded
a troop ship Maui at Hoboken, New Jersey and arrived at St. Nazarene, France on
April 29th, 1918. He served with Company
I, 60th Infantry Division and was deployed
to several locations throughout France often riding in trucks, but mostly marching
with his full pack on his back while carry-
Contributing Writer
ing his rifle. Roads and vehicles were not

that well developed at the early part of the
century and movement was particularly
arduous.
On October 14, 1918 just 13 days following his 27th birthday and less than a
month before the armistice was signed on
November 11th ending this terrible war,
Sergeant Lore was tragically lost in the
hail of sniper bullets while manning front
line trenches during the horrific Battle of
Verdun, one of the most decisive battles
in ending the war. In his last entry in his
diary, he wrote This has been an awful
day. There have been quite a number of
wounded by shrapnel, but I have escaped
so far. Thank God.
He was first buried at the American
Battle Area Cemetery at Cunel, France.
Later, his body was removed and returned
to his country. Last rites and honors were
held in September, 1921 at the Solomons
Episcopal Church and he was finally laid
to rest next to his parents at the Solomons
Methodist /Episcopal Cemetery just off
the south side of Route 4 just prior to the
Thomas Johnson Bridge.
This year marks the 60th Anniversary of
a graveside ceremony honoring Sergeant
Lore by members of the American Legion
Post 274 for whom the Legion is named.
This special event included a talk by the
Post Commander Jay Bolles, honors by the
Legions Rifle Team, and a solemn rendition of Taps by a lone bugler. Surviving
members of the family, dignitaries, and
the public attended this years celebration
of this heros life. Briefly taking a few
minutes out of this Holiday to remember
this man and the other magnificent souls
who gave their lives in defense of our great
country is but a small way of acknowledging how really important and necessary
these occasions are. And it is especially
heartwarming to see the number of young
people who turn out and learn the significance for pausing to remember these great
Americans! I hope each of you took time
to give thanks for the sacrifices made on
our behalf.
[I wish to thank the Arick Lore Legion
Post 274 in Lusby for providing the historical data of Sergeant Lores life. He was
truly a special Southern Marylander, a
son of Maryland, and a genuine American
hero].

A View From The
Parsing Opportunitys Knock

Parsing Opportunitys Knock
By Ronald N. Guy Jr.
The NBAs Western Conference finals,
an epic showdown between the Golden
State Warriors and Oklahoma City Thunder, was stuffed with intrigue and oozing
sex appeal.
Golden State entered seeking a second
consecutive championship and, after a record-setting 73-win regular season, an impressive closing argument for their case as
the best team, like, ever. Within the context of the Warriors team, Stephen Curry,
the unanimous MVP, looked to add to his
burgeoning resume and Klay Thompson,
his criminally underrated backcourt mate,
was seeking his own spot on a star-studded
stage.
In the other corner, the Thunder, having suffered season-sabotaging injuries to
stars Russell Westbrook, Prince Georges
County native Kevin Durant and Serge
Ibaka in recent years, was finally healthy
- and it showed. Westbrook, a breathtaking athlete, solidified his place among the
games elite and Durants desperation for
his first title was a tribute to competitive
athletics. Collectively, the Thunder, after
being relegated to second-class Western
Bleachers
Conference citizenry behind the regal San

Antonio Spurs and champion Warriors,
played like an insulted bunch starved for
appropriate acclaim.
As of the due date for this piece, six
games had been played to a 3-3 stalemate.
Every affair was a non-stop high-wire act.
Three-point shots rained from the heavens.
The pace was relentless. Westbrook sliced
to the basket with video game speed and
abandon. Warriors forward Draymond
Green let his raw emotions roam for
good or ill. The teams were two heavyweight fighters throwing haymakers in the
middle of the ring. Blood and sweat was
everywhere. There were epic collisions at
the rim, kicks to the groin (literally) and
bodies were all over the floor all while
the scoreboard registered with pinball machine glee. It was justexhilarating.
With that introduction, it would be ridiculous to suggest that the series most
compelling storyline had nothing to do
with the basketball played between the
lines, but thats exactly what Im going to
do. Unless LeBron James, Michael Jordan
or athletes of similar ilk lay eyes on this
article, its unlikely any reader can relate
to the unconscious shooting of Curry and
Thompson, the silky-smooth, 611 Durant

or dunking over seven-footers in traffic
like Westbrook. What is transferrable to
the average-sized, modestly athletic mass
of humanity is the journey that landed the
two suits Golden State head coach Steve
Kerr and his Oklahoma City counterpart, Billy Donovan on their respective
sidelines.
A career playbook for the ambitious
would undoubtedly include the following
entries: be dedicated and trustworthy; work
hard; develop a diverse skill-set; exude a
positive attitude; establish a strong reputation; create opportunities for advancement
and seize them. It would difficult to argue
against any of these bedrocks of success;
however, Kerr and Donovans pilgrimage
to the NBA head coaching ranks adds an
interesting caveat to the eager acceptance
of opportunities.
See, Kerr and Donovan, neither of whom
had previous NBA coaching experience,
actually rejected other first-time NBA
gigs before accepting their current jobs.
In May 2014, Kerr reneged on an alleged
verbal commitment to coach the New York
Knicks and reunite with Phil Jackson, his
former head coach and current Knicks
limited time offer: Free Window

Why in the world would we give you a
free window no strings attached?
President, when Golden State offered up

its head coaching position.
Donovan took an even more methodical
path to the NBA. After winning back-toback national championships as head coach
at the University of Florida, Donovan accepted the head coaching position with the
Orlando Magic in 2007. He backed out
days later and returned to Florida where
he coached until accepting the Oklahoma
City job last spring.
The interesting point is neither Kerr
nor Donovan blindly jumped on their first
chance to ascend their professions summit
just to say they made it. Instead, they
critiqued all aspects of the opportunity
the timing, pay, organization, home city
and roster talent and rebuffed would-be
suitors, confident that other doors would
open and at peace if they didnt.
Their gamble paid off. It is impossible
to know what the Knicks job would have
meant for Kerrs career or the Magic job
for Donovans, but suffice to say, both have
found NBA success. And isnt success more than pay, fancy titles and speed to
goal achievement the point?

o Aimless Mind
Life will change as we know it
As I type this, my heart is racing, hands

and wrists are red and bruised, and ankles
are hurting. An accident? A flare? No, its
a five month old fur ball of red-tinged, gangly-legged Hound called Mindy that I had
to try to get down the stairs and outside to
finish pottying as fast as I could. And thats
not too fast. That is where the heart racing
and re-swollen ankles come in. The red and
bruised hands, and arms, neck, ankles and
anything else are from anything she can
play bite during playtime. Life will change
as we know it. And thats a good thing. Four
months of relative peace and quiet (well,
nothing is ever actually peaceful and quiet
around here, especially living with the Big
Guy) was shattered suddenly - and hopefully, for many years. Mindy is so friendly
and loving. My oldest son came over last
night to get the computer and printer working right again, and Mindy curled right up
on the back of his legs while he was kneeling and working under the computer desk.
Mindy is a Redbone Coonhound with
it looks like a touch of Shepherd around the
snout. She is both playful and laidback. She
does love her naptime. While I type, Mindy is curled up next to the computer chair
lightly snoring. All I had to do to calm her
down was rub her tummy and then her eyes
start to roll up in her head. Well Im kind of

like that too, so I know we are perfect for
each other.
I, and my husband, spent many hours
of many weeks looking through tons of
puppy and doggie mug shots on every dog
rescue site in the mid-Atlantic area and
also of the State of Kentucky where one of
my best friends named Jenny runs rescued
dogs every day between and out of shelters
and fosters. We were waiting for the one
doggie, and specifically a Redbone Coonhound mix, who would capture our hearts.
Probably four did that, but for one reason
or another, whether it be I wasnt ready, requirement of a fenced yard, or too far away
(one was in New York), we didnt pursue
them.
Finally, over a month ago, I saw one
that made me cry every time I looked at
her, which for me meant something in her
eyes told me she had a deep soul and was
intelligent thats what happened when I
saw Tidbits photo the first time, but my
knee was really bad and Strawberry Festival was coming. But once I got the cortisone shot in my knee, I felt like I could
seriously start looking for the right puppy
for us. The dog that made me cry had been
adopted out and I became really sad, espe-
Edward D. Tippett, Inventor

Edward D. Tippett was born in St.
Marys County about 1786. He married
first, Sarah Jane Williams February 1, 1810
in Montgomery County. His second wife
was Gracy Ann Tuchen whom he married
May 9, 1827 in Washington, D.C. His parents are not known to me at this point but he
had six siblings who were identified in the
distribution of the estate of his infant greatniece Eleanor Cheseldine in 1839.
Its obvious that Edward Tippett was
very intelligent but a bit eccentric. He had
plenty of ideas but lacked the necessary
contacts to bring his ideas to fruition.
Edward D. Tippett, citizen of Washington, D.C., saw Progress as preordained.
It needed only an instrument, and he had
been chosen. Perhaps his fifth attempt
would do the trick. Tippett, a veteran of the
War of 1812, was anything but a quitter. I
have asked your attention to my navigation
balloon four times, and without the least
notice, he lamented to an unnamed high
government official on May 11, 1861. After a detailed exposition of his somewhat
murky political views (in favor of slavery
in theory, but opposed to it as practiced),
the inventor asked the government to pay
him the four thousand dollars it allegedly
owed him for the efforts he had pursued
on its behalf since 1816. With government
support for his war balloon, all enemy fortifications would be demolished and innumerable lives spared.
2/12/1823: Mr. Wright presented a memorial of Edward D. Tippett, of the City of
Washington, stating that he has invented a
new and interesting machine, which gains
power without losing time, which he believes will be of the utmost importance to
the country, but that, from poverty, he is
unable to make known its utility, by demonstrating its power upon a large scale; and
praying that a committee of scientific gentlemen may be appointed to investigate its
principles, and to make such report as they
may deem it to deserve.
Memorial of Edward D. Tippett on the
subject of a safety steam engine which he
claims to have invented. MARCH 26, 1838.
The Experience and Trials of Edward D.
Tippett, Preceptor or 44 Years of His Life:
Containing Strange and Mysterious Events
whilst the Teacher of the Eastern Free
School, Washington City, D. C. Printed
for the Author by Wm. Green, 1833, title
continues Also, Singular and Strange Circumstances Transpiring in Annapolis and
Baltimore. Written for the Information of
his fellow citizens, by himself. Includes a
picture of steam explosions; conveying a
correct view of their danger, and showing
the impossibility of safety in steam boilers:
With a philosophical account of generating
and using steam without danger; based [sic]
upon sound science and useful knowledge.
By Edward Tippett, Inventor of the Safety
Steam Engine.
Edward D. Tippett died in Georgetown
on December 4, 1873. His obituary noted
he was a native of St. Marys County and
that he was a monomaniac on the subject
of inventions, his principal hobbies being
what he claimed to be a perpetual-motion
machine & a balloon.
cially at night when watching TV, normally

the time I would sit or play with Tidbit.
Then I saw Mindy. Her soulful eyes
spoke to me, as did her one quirky ear that
was bent and a little higher than her other
ear, and her long gangly hound legs, and
her wrinkled brow with an inquisitive look.
Yes, I started crying every time I saw her.
And then I would have a steady
stream of tears coming down my
face at times, sometimes the whole
day. My husband, who wanted a
new puppy almost more than me,
started commenting on how sad
I looked. I still kept stalling. All
these worries started flooding my
mind about loving too much and
going through that awful loss always way too soon with pets. But
needing a dog, and wanting to save
at least one dog, outweighed it all.
So, that is how on Memorial
Day the only day a swimming
pool man has off during pool season, we headed to Last Chance Rescue of Waldorfs adoption day at the
Alexandria, Virginia Petco. Mindy
found her forever home, and we
found the new love of our life (besides all our grandkids of course,
oh and our kids too). Oh my, I feel some

stirring near my feet. I think the little red
fur ball is gearing up to change my day
and life.
To each new days adventure, Shelby

Bald Is Beautiful Challenge Boosts

Fundraising Efforts for Local Relay
for Life Team
Take a moment to imagine the iconic scene from the

1997 movie, G.I. Jane where Demi Moore shaves her
head to gain respect as a trainee in the U.S. Navys elite
SEAL school.
Her choice to shave her head was inspiring and empowering, but what if you didnt have a choice about losing your hair? What if the choice was made for you by
cancer?
Twenty-one years ago, when my wife Debbie was diagnosed with breast cancer, I recall a conversation we
had just days before her surgery, radiation, and chemo
treatment began, said Jeff Sherman founder and owner
of AVIAN.While Im sure there were many things going on in her mind, her biggest concern at this point in
time was that she would be losing her hair.
With that memory in mind, Sherman decided he
would create a bald is beautiful fundraising challenge
in support of the American Cancer Society and the local
Relay for Life.
The winner has to have their head shaved, Sherman said. A minor, temporary inconvenience, compared to the challenges faced by those who are fighting or
have fought this disease. Additionally, once the new look
is donned, the winner will spend a couple of hours in
public wearing a sandwich board with the caption I support a cancer fighter. Join me in the fight against cancer.
The challenge started in mid-January and continued
through mid-May. Employees began sharing stories of
their own personal connections to the disease and soon
realized that cancer was a link that far too many shared.
Each day employees were encouraged to pledge money to anyone within the company they wanted to have
their head shaved, but their pledges could not exceed five
dollars per person, per day. At the end of the challenge,
the person with the most money pledged to their name, or
head, would be the winner.
Some employees chose to spread their money evenly
across groups of people, while others formed teams and
planned targeted pledges for particular individuals.
It was very apparent that there was some behind the
scenes coordination when I received an overwhelming
amount of votes one day, said John Slaughter, challenge runner up and AVIANs vice president of business
development.
Within days, hundreds of dollars had been raised.
Within a month, almost everyone in the company had
at least a five dollars pledged on their head, with many
already into double digits.
The challenge finally came to a close Wednesday, May
18. The top five employees had nearly $3,000 toward
them, but it was ultimately Jeff Sherman who received
the most pledges.
In the company of AVIAN supporters, Sherman
shaved his head Wednesday, May 25. Among those supporters was Cindy Mattingly, an AVIAN employee currently battling breast cancer.
When diagnosed with cancer this winter, I decided
to attack it head-on, Mattingly said. When Sherm announced the challenge shortly after, I felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude. Watching him have his head
shaved was emotional; I relived the moment when I had
mine shaved a few short months ago.
The entire bald is beautiful challenge raised more than
$6,800, which was applied to AVIANs Relay for Life
team. I am absolutely amazed at my teammates generosity to support finding a cure for the millions battling
each day, Mattingly said.
This challenge motivated the staff to take a deeper
look at the why behind our fundraising while making
a big impact monetarily, said Kelly Perry, AVIANs director of human resources. Our company philosophy is
that we take care of each other. The employee participation in this challenge is a testament to that.
AVIAN has been a corporate sponsor of Relay for Life
St. Marys County for many years. In 2014, the companys enthusiasm was brought to life in the form of team
AVIAN Celebrates Life when AVIAN lost a teammate in
his fight against cancer.

Each day, AVIAN remembers our teammate, Jeff
Bringle, and his courageous fight and contagious smile,
Sherman said. Through this event, we celebrate the
difference he made for his country, his family and his
community.
This year, the company rallied behind the AVIAN Celebrate Life team once again not only in remembrance of
Jeff, but for additional AVIAN teammates who are currently battling cancer.
AVIAN Celebrates Life is comprised of survivors,
caregivers, seasoned participants and new supporters to
the worlds largest fight against cancer.
The team has raised over $14,000 to date, which is almost triple their original goal of $5,000. The team hopes
to break through the $15,000 mark.
I could not be more proud of the AVIAN workforce
rallying behind this worthy cause, Sherman said. Although I won the challenge, the real winners are all those
loved ones who have ever fought this terrible disease.
About Relay for Life St. Marys County
