The Chesapeake Bay Foundation has
expressed shock over reported Trump Ad-
ministration cuts in the U.S. Environmen-
tal protecti0n Agencys Chesapeake Bay
Program. The f9undation is the Bay areas
largest advocacy group.
Foundation President Wil Baker issued
the following statement 0n a report about
the budget cuts; According to an article
on the front page of the Washington Post,
the federal Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) is proposing to cut fund-
ing in support of the Chesapeake Clean

The OMB proposal reduces funding for
the Chesapeake Bay Program from about
$73 million annually to $5 million (a little
more than 93 percent) in the next fiscal
year. EPAs Chesapeake Bay Program co-
ordinates science, research, and modeling
as well as grants to state and local govern-

the arranging to look locally for whatever
the need.
Wilkerson said that so far the town has
handled four weddings and also a large
New Years Eve celebration on the pier.
One of those weddings was won free by a
couple in an annual contest sponsored by
town merchants.
The town pier can handle any special
event such as a family reunion, corporate
picnic and of course a wedding. But the
pier isnt the only potential wedding venue
in town. The Wetlands Overlook Park, a
serene nature park in the northern part of
town, offers a cozier potential location for
consideration.
At the March 2 town council workshop,
Wilkerson assured town businesses that
they would be notified if any wedding or
special even was of the size that would re-
quire the closing of any streets.
The word is spreading. Wilkerson re-
cently attended a wedding show in An-
napolis and as a result of a contact there
a wedding planner visited the town to see
what it had to offer.
I am very proud of North Beach, said
Wilkerson, who has worked for the town
for 16 years. She is equally proud to offer
the town as a wedding and event venue.
At the town workshop, she said she would
be glad to walk around town with anyone
interested in seeing what the town has to
offer. North Beach is a marvelous place,
she boasted.

Blue Crabs Add Two Seahawks Baseball

for 2017 Season
The Blue Crabs announced the signing
of outfielder Cory Vaughn and right-hand-
ed pitcher Cody Hebner to the 2017 10th
Anniversary roster on Thursday.
Cory Vaughn joins the Blue Crabs after
a five-year stint in the New York Mets or-
ganization from 2010 to 2015 and a season
with the New Jersey Jackals of the Cana-
dian-American Association in 2016. The
27-year-old California native was drafted
in the fourth round by the Mets in 2010
out of San Diego State University. Vaughn
has a career .346 on-base percentage and
career .246 batting average. He has played
the majority of his career in right field with
a stellar .974 fielding percentage. The 2017
season will mark his first season in the At-
lantic League.
Cody Hebner joins the Blue Crabs and
the Atlantic League for the first time af-
ter a four-year stint in the San Diego Pa-
dres organization from 2011 to 2015 and
a season with the Texas AirHogs of the
American Association in 2016. The right-
handed pitcher from Auburn, Washington
has experienced bullpen roles such as set-
up pitcher and closer. He has 434 career
strikeouts with only 226 walks, earning
him a valuable 1.92 strikeout to walk ratio
for his career.
Vaughn and Hebner are great adds to
the club, said Manager John Harris. They
both have a positive attitude towards the
game and will be a great asset to the team
and community.
The Blue Crabs open up the 2017 season
versus the Long Island Ducks on Thursday,
April 20, 2017.

Prevails Over Gettysburg
First-year RHP Zach Thompson (West

11 strikeouts in lifting the St. Marys Col-
lege of Maryland baseball team to a 4-1
non-conference win over Gettysburg Col-
lege on Sunday afternoon.
St. Marys 4, Gettysburg 1
How It Happened
Thompson would scatter seven hits in
8.1 innings pitched with an unearned run
and just one walk.
Senior second baseman Zach Rowe
(Davidsonville, Md./Calvert Hall) would
double to right center, setting up a nice set
for a run in the first inning. First-year first
baseman Jay Hammett (Coltons Point, Md./
Chopticon) would follow Rowes lead and
double to left field, bringing Rowe home
for the 1-0 lead.
The Bullets would respond in the sixth
inning as senior leftfielder Conner Tom
(Reinholds, Pa./Conrad Weiser) singled to
right field and junior centerfielder Chuck
Probst (North Bend, Pa./Bucktail) found
home plate after reaching first on a wild
pitch, stealing second, and advancing to
third on an error.
The Seahawks would secure the game in
the bottom of the seventh, breaking the 1-1
draw with a three-run scoring rally.
With bases loaded and one out on the
scoreboard in the seventh, sophomore des-
ignated hitter Matt Ansaldi (Ellicott City,
Md./Mt. Hebron) would get hit by a pitch
to send Hammett, who led off the inning
with a single, home and give the Seahawks
a one-run lead.
Junior third baseman Dan McCann
(Laurel, Md./Atholton) would slam a single
to third base, allowing sophomore leftfield-
er Holden Marshall (Towson, Md./Friends)
and sophomore shortstop Brandon Snow
(Owings, Md./Northern) to sprint in and
secure the 3-1 lead for the Seahawks.
Senior RHP Graham Haliskoe (Middle-
town, N.J./Middletown North) would re-
ceive his first career save as Haliskoe re-
lieved Thompson with bases loaded and
one out punched. Haliskoe was able to sit
down the next two batters in order as he got
both batters to fly out to the outfield.
Senior RHP Eric Brown (Marriotts-
ville, Md./Marriotts Ridge) would receive
the loss, pitching 7.0 innings with five
strikeouts. Brown gave up four runs (three
earned) on seven hits.

Mindful of the Moment
The image is still vivid in my mind. He
lurked in the post-game tunnel watching the
victors elation. He needed to soak it in and
to make a permanent entry into his mental
Rolodex. Players were just starting to le
off the eld. Confetti still helicoptered in
the air throughout the New Orleans Super-
dome. The crowd was out of its mind. It
was Mardi Gras in January and to some
exponential factor.
Despite the pure, unrestrained joy that
lled the cavernous dome, Adrian Peterson
was angry. He was hurt. Surrounded by rau-
cous celebration, he was a despondent loser.
Petersons Minnesota Vikings lost the
2010 NFC Championship Game 31-28 to the
New Orleans Saints. On the precipice the
Super Bowl - the point of all the workouts,
drills, practices, games and the physical and
psychological brutality of an NFL season
the Vikings and their All-Pro running back,
fell oh-so-cruelly short.
Peterson was just 24 years old at the time
but had already established himself as the
best running back in pro football. With an
aging but still productive Brett Favre at quar-
terback and plenty of surrounding talent,
there was every reason to believe Minnesota
would make another championship run the
following season.
Thats why Peterson had to watch New
Orleans, the eventual Super Bowl champi-
ons, celebrate. He wanted to see what the
prize looked like. He wanted to experience
the pain and use the imagery and his raw
emotions as added motivation to ensure that
next season would be different.
It was - very different.
Minnesota won just six games the follow-
ing year. As often happens, Favre got old
very quickly and tossed only 11 touchdown
passes against 19 interceptions in just 13
games. As for Peterson, hes been running
uphill in pursuit of the elusive do-over ever
since. In 2011 he suffered a severe knee in-
jury and ended the season on injured reserve.
Three years later he was suspended for 15
games after pleading no contest to misde-
meanor reckless assault. And last year, Pe-
terson sustained another knee injury and
played just three games. In all, and despite

CSM to Offer Drone Courses
Two new drone classes will be offered
this spring at the College of Southern
Marylands Leonardtown Campus. The
first course is designed for anyone who
wants to learn how to safely operate a small
unmanned aircraft system (sUAS) or drone.
The second course is for those pilots who
want to use a drone for commercial purpos-
es and need to pursue FAA certification.
A free information session on the two
new courses will be held March 14 from 6
to 7:30 p.m. at the Leonardtown Campus,
Building C, Room 114.
Drones are for everyone, said Bill
Winters, instructor for both of the courses.
You can use these for home videos. You
can use them in your business. There are
unlimited applications.
With twice as many drones sold in 2016
as in the previous year, approximately 2.5
million, the FAA is encouraging drone
owners to fly safely and has developed strict
rules and regulations on the operation of
drones. Every drone that meets FAA cri-
teria as a sUAS must be registered with the
Federal Aviation Administration, Winters
said. The Federal Aviation Administration
would like anyone who receives a sUAS
to know the rules and regulations before
they take to the air. The two upcoming
courses at the Leonardtown Campus are
designed to provide that training.
Introduction to Small Unmanned Air-
craft System (sUAS) (AVN-5010) is a 12-
hour class that will be offered on Tuesdays
and Thursdays, April 18-27 from 5:30-8:30
p.m. Students will come away from the
course with their own drone and the nec-
essary software, along with the skills to
useit.
Remote Pilot Test Prep (AVN-5020)
is an six-hour class on Tuesday and Thurs-
day, May 2 and 4 from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m.
designed to help pilots prepare for the FAA
certification test. As of August 2016, FAA
pilot certification is required of anyone op-
erating a drone for business purposes.
The College of Southern Maryland is
excited to offer these new courses on this
emerging technology, Dr. Daniel Mosser,
CSM vice president of continuing educa-
tion and workforce development, said.
There are countless applications and

workforce impacts expected, and we are
offering the most comprehensive, up-to-
date course material available so that our
students can be among those who are cap-
turing this technologys potential.
Reggie Young of Prince Frederick was a
student in CSMs inaugural drone course,
held earlier this year at the La Plata Cam-
pus. The initial course was a combination of
the two courses being offered at the Leon-
ardtown Campus. I liked the material that
was presented and the obstacle course chal-
lenge to fly the drone through, he said. I
think this course could really benefit peo-
ple who want to learn to fly drones whove
never had any previous experience.
The CSM program is geared to empow-
er enthusiasts with the skills they need to
enjoy flight in a safe and controlled manner
whether you are a beginner or experienced
pilot, Winters said. Career opportunities
for students with drone training are endless
and include military drone pilot, firefighter,
disaster relief, search and rescue, law en-
forcement, oil and gas operations, traffic
reporting, agriculture, forestry, engineer-
ing, commercial contractors, film and other
industries. The world of sUAS is exploding
and CSM can provide you with the skill to
be a hobbyist or begin your career in the
growing commercial world.
Winters was introduced to the small un-
manned aircraft program at the National
Security Agency, and he assisted with the
drone course offered at the La Plata Cam-
pus earlier this year. He is a certified FAA
pilot and has been operating sUAS com-
mercially for five years.
The two upcoming courses were devel-
oped by CSM in partnership with SkyOps,
a technology transfer company that cre-
ates training experiences that prepare the
American workforce for new jobs and busi-
ness models created by emerging technol-
ogy. This partnership between the college
and SkyOps allows CSM to lead innova-
tion in the region by offering a nationally

 12 Feature Story
Doctors Warn
Of Alpha-Gal
Tick Ailment
By Dave Spigler
Feature Writer
Local physicians are worried that a new
tick-borne medical condition that results in a
serious dietary allergy is on the rise locally,
where tick populations are known to abound
in Southern Maryland.
Galactose-alpha-1,3-galactose, known
as Alpha-gal is a name given to a red meat
allergy that is beginning to reach epidemic
proportions in Southern Maryland accord-
ing to Dr. Jonathan Fears, an allergist in Cal-
vert County. He is seeing at least one new
patient each week which exhibits symptoms
of this medical condition and has treated
hundreds of patients who are suffering from
its effects.
Until recently, not much was known about
this mysterious malady that is so rare many
in the medical professions have not heard of
it or even know of its existence, according to
Fears. It is quietly becoming a major medical
epidemic locally, Fears said.
The name comes from the reaction of the
blood to a sugar and a test is used to identify
the cause for symptoms that appear with no
apparent reason or connection to anything in
the patients environment. These symptoms
may include combinations of severe hives,
itchy skin, swelling of the lips, eyes, tongue,
throat, respiratory issues, vomiting, diarrhea,
increased heart rate and low blood pressure.
Victims will suffer a delayed severe allergic
reaction called anaphylaxis from three to six
hours and possibly longer after consuming
mammalian meat, most commonly cow,
lamb, and pork. There are reports of similar
reactions from eating horse and goat meat in
France where the consumption of these red
meats are more common.
The Calvert County Times
At first, it was difficult to correlate the
reaction with a cause for this particular ail-
ment as most anaphylaxis will normally oc-
cur within minutes or even seconds of eat-
ing a certain food, Fears said. This is not the
case with alpha-gal patients due to the long
delayed reaction of this allergy, hesaid.
Many sufferers report waking up in the
middle night with a frightening reaction in-
cluding nausea, cold sweats and swollenlips.
Until eight to 10 years ago there was no
historical information documenting the oc-
currence of this form of illness, according to
Fears. Gradually, as doctors began to recog-
nize a growing number of patients exhibit-
ing similar complaints and reporting meth-
ods and data collection improved, small seg-
ments within the medical profession grew
curious with this new ailment. Fears credits
two allergists at the University of Virginia
in Charlottesville, Dr. Thomas Platt-Mills
and his junior colleague Dr. Scott Commins
with leading the research into this allergy.
Dr. Platt-Mills is given credit for actually
discovering this allergy; with Cummins,
they first published their study of Alpha-gal
in 2009.
They were able to solve the puzzle of what
causes this allergy in some humans and not
others who eat from the same meat source.
Platt-Mills, who suffers from Alpha-gal, en-
joyed hiking in the woods of southwestern
Virginia. One day during one of his hikes,
he suffered countless tick bites and learned
his level of immunoglobulin E antibodies
[IgE] which measures the amount of alpha-
gal allergy in the blood, went up consider-
ably. It was at that moment these two men
realized there was some kind of a relation
to the number of bites and how allergic one
may become to alpha-gal. They determined
the bite of a tick, specifically the common
Lone Star tick known to inhabit the south-
eastern portion of the country as far west as
Texas and Missouri and along the East Coast
as far north as Massachusetts was the cul-
prit and the missing piece to this puzzle.
Importantly, they were able to make the dis-
tinction between Alpha-gal, an allergy, and
tick borne diseases such as Lyme and Rocky
Mountain spotted fever.
These two doctors, with their research
team, delved deeper into the mysteries
surrounding this ailment. They presumed
something may be happening with the tick.
Cummins states It is possible we are see-
ing the emergence of a new tick spreading
their own form of organism in their saliva
that makes a person allergic to the alpha-gal
sugar in mammalian meat. These two doc-
tors believe this allergy may be even closer
related to bites that come from the tick
larvae or baby ticks. And there is some re-
search showing these ticks have often bitten
an animal first before biting a human lead-
ing to theories as to why some of these little
guys are more potent than others.
The good news is we now have a full
understanding for the direct cause of this
malady! The bad news is there is no cure
available and no perfect prevention protocol
developed at this point. The best medical
advice or recommended solution available
for us meat eaters is to practice tick bite
avoidance! We know you hunters will be
thrilled to hear that! The Centers For Dis-
Thursday, March 9, 2017
Dr. Jonathan Fears
ease Control and Prevention [CDC] offers
these tips for avoiding ticks: walk in the
center of trails, stay away from wooded or
overgrown areas where ticks are known to
inhabit, wear boots and clothing treated with
Permethrin when hunting or camping, and
use DEET-containing bug repellents on the
skin. Many experienced outdoorsman put
oils such as germanium oil on their wrists
and ankles before heading to the woods.
And it is just common sense to inspect your
clothes and body soon after returning home
for any ticks or bugs that came along for a
free ride or even a lunch on you [literally]!
Fears saw his first patient suffering with
an allergy like symptoms that had no known
cause after first arriving to Calvert County
in 1992. At the time there was no knowl-
edge of an allergic reaction eight hours after
exposure. He did his best to treat the symp-
toms and continued to follow up with this
individual. Later the patients brother came
in with similar complaints. At some point,
they stopped eating beef as it seemed to
help reduce the occurrence of their illness.
Alpha-gal did not have a name and the medi-
cal types did not have a deep understanding
for this condition.
In 2000, Fears noticed an increase in the
number of cases he was treating with simi-
lar issues. People were arriving with sudden
cases of large skin rashes, swollen facial fea-
tures, and upset stomachs; some were so sick
they were placed immediately into intensive
care units at the hospital.
The concern here is an allergic reaction
can become so severe an individuals throat
may swell and shut off his or her airway.

Thursday, March 9, 2017 The Calvert County Times
During his many years of prescribing treat-
ments for this group of his patients suffer-
ing with the alpha-gal allergy, many of these
folks have been able to reach a point where
they are able to tolerate eating beef, pork,
or chicken in moderation. Others still have
severe reactions to any meat products and
must avoid them at all costs.
Some sufferers report they are allergic to
milk products. Many cannot tolerate gelatin
due to even very small amounts of alpha-gal
present. Others sufferers find it necessary to
carry an epinephrine pen with them at all
times to counteract the unexpected reaction
to something they may have ate.
One woman reportedly became ill even
though she had not consumed any meat for
days, Fears said. However, she learned that
the french-fries she had eaten were actually
prepared at a processing plant with a beef
Posey by-product used to enhance the flavor of the
fries
Sufferers have had to educate themselves
by becoming fully aware of what is in al-
most any food they consume. They spend
considerable time reading labels, making
phone calls to restaurants to learn how their
various meals are prepared, and going on
line to investigate every bit of information
available about certain foods they enjoy.
Julie Posey of Port Republic has suffered
from alpha-gal for nearly a year. She was
diagnosed in April 2016 following numer-
ous cases of hives and swelling combined
with frequent vomiting, severe stomach
pains with dizziness and didnt have know
why she felt this way. She says her reac-
tions would often happen in the middle of
the night. Upon visiting the doctor, her blood
Sweeney
work showed alpha-gal in her system. She
still cannot eat any type of mammal meat.
She has reported becoming ill a few times
when eating out; on one occasion she be-
came so sick she had to call 911. She had
been eating a salad, but fears one of the in-
gredients may have come in contact with a
meat product accidentally.
She said she has to carry an epi-pen and
Benadryl with her at all times to prevent an
ambulance ride to the emergency room.
Posey says this condition has changed her
life. She has to be extremely careful of where
she eats including parties and friendly din-
ners where someone else prepares thefood.
She cannot eat any food prepared in the
same grill, griddle or pan that was used to
cook red meat, fry chicken or even bacon.
Fears said he is unable to determine her
long term prognosis, but schedules a blood
test every six month. She hopes over time
this allergy will go away. She hopes she can
encourage others to learn more from her ex-
ample and get them to protect themselves.
The only benefit from the experience, Posey
said, is that she has lost 20 pounds in the last
year.
Another of Fears patients, Tracy Swee-
ney of Chesapeake Beach has suffered with
digestive issues for 5 years due to alpha-gal.
She started getting severe headaches with
pressure on her ears, muscle weakness, trou-
ble breathing, and more. She went to numer-
ous doctors to learn the cause for her illness
and was once misdiagnosed with fibromyal-
gia and was treated with two digestive med-
ications. Nothing helped and medical pro-
fessionals had run out of options, she said.
Then while on vacation in 2015, she woke
Feature Story 13
up in the middle of the night with trouble
breathing and severe vomiting. Returning
home, she consulted Fears. After hearing
Tracys history and symptoms, he suspected
alpha-gay allergy as the cause.
She had never heard of this ailment dur-
ing her three years of suffering with an
unknown cause for her sickness. The doc-
tor ordered a blood test she tested positive
to the alpha-gal allergy. Her diagnosis was
different than Poseys; Tracy also has the
dairy portion of the allergy and is unable
to consume any dairy products or foods with
any dairy ingredients. She must read every
label for any new food she purchases and
has learned to question any place where she
chooses to eat out. Many times she brings
her own food with her just in case. And. like
Julie, she has to have her epi-pen nearby.
Tracy says she was bitten by three or more
Lone Star ticks last summer alone. She now
knows that she has to be ever vigilant in
looking out for these little critters that are
found everywhere in Southern Maryland
and that all species of ticks common to our
area are the potential source of many serious
illnesses in addition to alpha-gal.
She hopes in telling her story, people will
be inspired to do research into this debilitat-
ing condition and protect themselves out-
doors by using products with DEET and to
immediately take a shower and check them-
selves for ticks.
Sweeney is able to eat chicken, turkey,
and fish with no apparent harmful effects,
but does get her blood checked yearly. She
also works with two women who suffer with
the same allergy but one of them learned re-
cently the allergy has abated.

Mardi Gras Crowns
King and Queen
By Dave Spigler
Feature Writer
Our intrepid feature story writer, Dave
Spigler happily attended this years United
Way of Calvert County Mardi Gras party at
Anne Marie Arts Center. He led the follow-
ing rst-person report on the winners (King
and Queen) and losers (the alligator):
It sure was a really long, hard campaign,
wasnt it? There are many that are so thank-
ful it is over at long last! Several folks spent
months preparing for this election, putting
in long days working the phones, organizing
rallies and fundraisers, and scheduling ap-
pearances to ensure citizens would turn out
to vote for the best candidate. And looking
back, it appears to have come off without a
hitch! Wait, are we on the same page? You
understood I was talking about this years
annual United Way Mardi Gras King and
Queen competition, right? It was exciting,
full of surprises, and a lot of fun along the
way! And it raised an enormous amount of
money for the great care for the most needy
here in Southern Maryland!
For nearly ve months, ve volunteer
candidates vied for the royal privileges and
rights; three gents competed for King and
two ladies pursued the title of Queen. To
reach the throne, these ne folks had to or-
ganize a staff and plot a plan to get people
out to vote for them. They are challenged to

raise at least $10,000 each through imagina-
tive ideas and charity events. Each dollar
they bring in counts as one vote toward their
quest for royalty. The goal from this drive is
to raise as much as $100,000 for United Way
of Calvert Countys Community Impact
Fund. The money is then distributed locally
to support and benet programs to improve
the education, nancial stability, and the
health of needy citizens of the area. Some
of these programs include training to help
disadvantaged folks improve their skills and
job opportunities, teach individuals how to
handle their money and control their debt,
and most importantly, to help subsidize -
nancially strapped citizens with expensive
medical costs and money to pay for required
prescriptions. Since its inception, this event
has raised more than $14 million for these
vital needs.
It is important to note most of the candi-
dates are not new to volunteerism; they each
have a rich history in helping others. Vying

Twin Beach Players Present
You Cant Take It with You
You Cant Take It with You is the next produc-
tion of the Twin Beach Players. The play set in
1936, right after the Great Depression, will
be performed March 30 to April 9 at the
Boys and Girls Club, 9021 Dayton Ave. in
North Beach.
According to publicity for the play,
There are references to tax revolt, discus-
sions of mysticism, and other things going
on in that period. Many members of the
family are not genetic members, they sim-
ply come to the house one day and end up
staying for years.
You Cant Take It with You is a remind-
er of what is important in life, and though
most of us accept the fact that You Cant
Take It with You, we go on living for the
mighty buck! Once you have seen the hap-
piness that exists in the Vanderhoff house-
hold, you will understand the TRUE mean-
ing of those words. Come share in the crazi-
ness of the house with the artist/playwright,
the ballerina/candy maker, the printer/xylo-
phone player, the model builder/fireworks
constructor and all of their friends who live
under one roof even though they are not re-
lated. The messes they get themselves into
as they converge with the high society Kir-
byscreates fun for the entire audience!
Characters in the play include:
Martin Vanderhof (Grandpa) The head
of household, free-spirited celebrator of life
and role model to all.
Penelope Sycamore (Penny) Grandpas
daughter, mother of Essie and Alice, writer
and painter, a true nurturer.

nys painting
