Big Turnout In
St. Marys For
Early Voting
the first day of early voting a woman complained that her voting a straight Republican ticket, including Donald Trump for
president, was switched to Democrat nominee Hillary Clinton.
The video of her complaint made national news and went viral on social media, but
Adkins said that she had been told that a
elections judge had helped the woman, who
had used an electronic device to help mark
her ballot but that did not tabulate it, change
her vote back to Republican.
I dont know what actually happened, Adkins said. She didnt talk to
me about it and I was here the whole time.
Weve had no other complaints and more
than 100 people have used the device.
Adkins said there have been no other
complaints of ballots being flipped.
Adkins said she had never seen such a
turnout of voters since early voting began
several years ago.
This is the strongest turnout since we
started early voting, she said. Weve been
constantly busy since we opened up.

Elections officials in St. Marys County

voting participation, with thousands coming out to cast a ballot over six days starting
back on Oct. 27.
Weve had a great turnout so far, said
Wendy Adkins the local director of the
county Board of Elections. Were very
pleased.
Adkins said nearly 2,000 voters came
out each of the first two days for early voting, with weekend turnout very strong as
well.
There were 1,794 registered voters that
came to the polls last Thursday with even
more, 1,898, coming it to cast a ballot the
next day.
On Saturday, 1,242 voters came out and
on Sunday even more showed up with 1,272
coming out to cast their ballots.
By Monday early voting was still growing strong with 1,452 ballots being cast and
Tuesday there were greater numbers still
with 1,545 voters coming out to the polls.
The figures were provided from daily
totals taken by the elections officials at the
Hollywood Volunteer Fire Department early voting station.
Adkins said there was only one complaint about the voting process when on

Seahawks Defeated in
First Round of Mens
Soccer Championship
A Gen-Xers Perspective
X is a generation of overlappers. We
remember televisions with antennas and
channel dials but were quick to embrace
the digital era and high-definition (HD)
technology. Our first calls were on landline telephones attached to cords; now we
are masters of smart phones. Weve seen
a bad guy defeated U.S.S.R. and become an antagonist again Russia. We
grew up driving stick shifts and are on
the cusp of self-driving cars. Segregation
was a defeated evil, not a reality. The first
high school paper we wrote was generated
on a typewriter; our last college paper was
drafted in Microsoft Word and emailed to
our professors at the completion of an online class.
But every generation has its before and
afters, its technological and social overlaps.
What makes Generation X unique is that it
straddles the Information Age and its revolution in human communication. Gen-Xers
came of age before the internet and have,
unlike most members of preceding generations, embraced its possibilities as adults.
Were fluent in text-speak, social media savants, proficient multi-taskers and capable
consumers of todays limitless data. But
we can still hold face-to-face conversations with other humans, survive in a world
without instant access to everything and
enjoy disconnecting from the grid.
Which leads to the obvious and longsimmering question: What does this dribble have to do with sports? Well, a lotI
think. Gen-Xerswe grew up without
ESPN, let alone ESPN2, ESPNews, ESPNU or ESPN Deportes. We mined our
stats from newspapers and encyclopedias
and learned about players by reading press
guides and the backs of baseball cards.
Following sports took time and dedication;
it takes but a few clicks now. The mystery
is mostly gone (not so good) but the growth
of sports into a pop culture phenomena is
undeniably super-cool.
Millennials and certainly Generation Z
sports fans probably feel sorry for my onetime plight. But they should be jealous. Im
about to toggle between The World Series
and Sunday Night Football both in primetime and in HD, of course. For them, this is
just how its always been; Im old enough to
know it hasnt and to appreciate the journey
to this amazing moment.
The point? These are extraordinary
times - and not just for sports fans. Dont
be convinced otherwise.

Feature Story
Voters To Decide
On School Board,
Code Home Rule
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
As St. Marys voters prepare to take to the
polls Nov. 8 the main local issues they have
to decide are for school board and whether
they want to fundamentally change the way
county government is structured through
code home rule.
In the three races for school board there
will automatically be some change through
the election, while one board seat is likely
to stay the same.
In the District 2 race Jim Davis is facing
off against Justin Fiore, both are from the
Leonardtown area.
This is an intersection of two passions
for me, policy and education, said Fiore,
who works as a legislative aide for Del. Ned
Carey in the Annapolis legislature. I want
to give back and I believe in starting early.
I want to make sure that taxpayers are
getting their moneys worth.

scores among students versus the continuing push by the school board for more
money each year, but she said she wanted
to balance fiscal responsibility with an assessment that students were still getting
usedto.
We still have to improve instruction so
students understand the curriculum, Allen
said. But our scores mirror the states, the
curriculum is more challenging.
Her opponent Chris Krush, is a veteran
teacher and athletic coach who retired from
the school system in 2003.
He wants to bring a teachers experience
to the board.
We dont have a single member of the
Board of Education with a background in
education, Krush said. Its important to
have that background, that boots-on-theground experience in the schools.
Krush believes that classrooms have
lost some cohesion and that it has become
too easy for students to pass teacher-provided classroom tests that can be given
overagain.
Discipline has gotten lax and teachers
hands are tied, Krush said. You cant
teach a class without discipline.
Krush was also concerned over the
amount of standardized testing students
were subjected to.
We need a whole lot less of it, Krush
said. I dont think it really tells you much.
Mary Washington, who has served on
the board since it became an elected body,
is running unopposed in her District 4 race.
The Board of Education is my purpose, my passion and my calling, Washington said, who has served on the board
16 years. The key is working with other
boardmembers.
You have to be problem solvers.
Voters will also cast ballots on whether
to switch to code home rule next Tuesday,
which gives county commissioners greater
autonomy in creating
local laws but does not
confer greater taxing authority; that would still be
subject to approval by the
state legislature.
However, the measure
on the ballot has met with
little grassroots support
and Commissioner Todd
Morgan has actively opposed it, stating that it
was, at its heart, an expansion of government.

Last Saturday morning, I was just getting ready to blow-dry my hair when the
doorbell rang. For a minute, I thought about
not bothering to answer it, since it was likely to be election volunteers, trying to sway
my unswayable mind, or someone selling
something else Id be equally unwilling
tobuy.
I went downstairs, though, and answered
the doorand Im glad I did.
My mail carrier, who Id never met, was
standing on my porch. Shes a lovely young
woman with long, thick, curly hairI was
instantly envious, even if it would take
triple the time to dry it. She was smiling,
but I also got the sense that she was slightly
embarrassed, or hesitant, about something.
Ive got a ton of mail for you, shebegan.
I was getting worried, honestly. It just
kept piling up, and I didnt know if something was wrong. You hear these horrible things, these awful stories she

For a moment, neither of us said anything. I imagine that we were both thinking about those horrible things, those awful

on me and surveying the room, trying to
decide what to get into first, now that the
human was out of the way.
Although she could see that things were
fine, I assured her that I was okay. Id been
traveling, and there had been a misunderstanding with one of the boys (I thought
hed been getting the mail, and just hadnt
dropped it off yet).
We laughed about the whole thing, and
she went to her truck and brought out a big
plastic bin filled with the letters and packages that had clogged my little mailbox.
She seemed apologetic, as if shed overreacted, or let her imagination run a little
too wild. I did my best to reassure her that I

Philip Tippett bought the farm adjoining his brother, Judge Tippett, from Mark
Stevenson. He was born in Maryland in
1804, came to the neighborhood of Chesterfield about 1837, and taught school for
many years. He was justice of the peace
several years, and clerk of the Court of
Common Pleas in St. Louis from 1846 to
1850. He married the widow of George C.
Frazier in 1844, by whom he had one son,
Josiah, now in Colorado. He was accidentally drowned in the Meramec at Glencoe
while fishing, along with his son, in April,
1870. Mrs. Tippet died March 7, 1875.
The two other sons of Josiah Tippett
(by Ann Cawood) remained in St. Marys
County. Robert Tippett (1788-1854) married Mary Stephen Allstan February 8,

Henry Tippett, born November 5, 1822 and
died October 7, 1834 at the age of 12; Indiana B. Tippett, born 1828 and died August
9, 1883 in Washington, D.C., who married
William Judson Hazel February 5, 1850;
Jane Rebecca Tippett, born 1830 and died
April 11, 1891 at Milestown--she was the
third wife (of four) of John Henry Herbert
whom she married July 11, 1857; and Robert Henry Bruce Tippett, born April 29,
1846 and died March 8, 1912 in Charles
County who married Susan Allison Ethalinda Payne, widow of William H. Cheseldine December 26, 1854.

Margaret Smith January 1, 1825. He had
two daughters. One was Catherine who
married John W. Ellis May 2, 1849. She

and they seem shy. You could foster
