Arson of Historic
Locust Inn Probed
Is Fire the Buildings Final Gasp?
By Guy Leonard and Dick Myers
Staff Writers
Three reghters were injured late Sun-
day night knocking down the blaze that
gutted the Locust Inn on Solomons Island,
which state re marshals have ruled was
intentionally set.
Dep. Fire Chief Duane Svites said inves-
tigators were still sorting through the de-
tails of the developing case as the Locust
Inn has been embroiled in a legal contro-
versy between the new owners of the build-
ing who have petitioned the county to tear
it down and community activists who have
argued for it to be preserved.
There are no suspects yet, Svites told
The Calvert County Times. Theres a lot
of moving parts to this investigation.
According to a report from the re mar-
shals ofce approximately 80 reghters company afliated with the Stoneys res-
from the Solomons volunteer re company
responded to the blaze at 11:15 p.m. and had
to ght the blaze for 90 minutes before they
gained control over it.
Estimated damage to the structure was
$50,000 though there were no items inside
to be lost, the report stated.
The building, which had served as a
bed and breakfast, had been vacant for
several years.
Fire marshals believe someone entered
the building and intentionally set the re at
multiple points throughout.
The re may have been the nal knock-
out punch for the building. At an April 11
planning commission/county commis-
sioners public hearing, there appeared to
be no support for retaining the buildings
Historic District designation, allowing the
new owners to tear it down. But there was
a sliver of hope for those wanting to save
it. The commissioners delayed the decision
pending a staff report.

Judge Rules Against
Liquor Board Decision
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
Circuit Court Judge Karen Abrams
ruled Tuesday that the countys Alco-
hol Beverage Board must hear again the
case of a Leonardtown business own-
ers application for a liquor license they
previouslyrejected.
In December of last year Ellen Lewis,
owner of Crazy for Ewe, had applied for a
class D liquor license to be able to sell al-
cohol at her establishment, but the motion
failed by a three-to-one vote.
Abrams ruling was based on the fact
that the beverage board had, however,
awarded such a license to the Wine and De-
sign establishment, also in Leonardtown.
Crazy for Ewe teaches classes in knit-
ting and craft making while Wine and De-
sign teaches art classes, neither are tradi-
tional restaurants, bars or taverns.
Abrams ruling effectively reverses the
beverage boards decision and remands
it back to them; it does not confer the
liquorlicense.
Lewis had argued in her petition to the
court that the beverage board had acted in

an arbitrary and capricious manner by al-
lowing a liquor license for a similar estab-
lishment in town but not to her business.
Its exactly the same thing and the
judge agreed, Lewis told The County
Times. They didnt try to differentiate
between me and Wine and Design and the
judge pointed that out.
The legal process took place during the
legislative session in Annapolis, in which
two bills were passed that made legal a
special license for art establishments and
beauty salons to serve limited amounts of
beer and wine.
Lewis said that license will be available
by July but she did not want to wait any
longer for fear of losing business this sum-
mer by going through another application
process.
The beverage board had a confusing
situation to deal with, Lewis said. Ive dio One will take over the station on May

Redskins Owner Sells
Local Radio Station
By Dick Myers
Staff Writer
Calvert Countys only radio station is
changing hands again. WWXT (FM), li-
censed to Prince Frederick, is being sold
by Washington Redskins owner Dan Sny-
der. His Red Zebra Broadcasting is sell-
ing the station to DC-based Radio One,
several broadcasting websites reported
last week. The sale price has not been
disclosed.
In 2006, Snyder purchased the station,
which is on 92.7, from Saga Communica-
tions, a Spanish broadcaster. The station
has been simulcasting Red Zebras sports
talk station, WTEM-AM (980), as the
flagship stations for the Washington Red-
skins radio network, along with WWXX
in Warrenton, VA. Snyder announced ear-
lier this year that WMAL-FM would be-
gin broadcasting the football games next
season, along with WTEM. That will pro-
vide FM Redskins coverage in the South-
ern Maryland area.
Even before the sale is approved by the
Federal Communication Commission, Ra-

Radio One will in turn begin rebroad-
casting their WMMJ (Magic 102,3),
which carries an adult contemporary
format catering to the African-American
community. Radio One was founded by
Cathy Hughes and her company, which
now owns more than 50 stations, still has
her original one, WOL-AM (1450) in DC.
Radio Ones President Alfred Liggins
(Hughes son) was quoted as saying the
company was interested in expanding
their reach with new acquisitions. They
are also reportedly interested in purchas-
ing the Virginia station from Red Zebra.
The website www.dcrtv.com reported
the acquisition will give Magic 102.3
coverage in southern and eastern Price

potential African-American audience.

Prince Frederick-licensed station now has
its tower in Sunderland.
The Prince Frederick station for years
was a locally-based operation, run by
Mel and Ada Gollub. The couple was
originally from Philadelphia; they bought
the station, then WESM (Western Shore
of Maryland) in the early 1970s. They
changed the call letters to WMJs. Accord-
ing to a history of the station written by
long-time morning announcer Mary Mad-
den, the call letters MJS stood for the first
names of the Gollubs three children.
During the operation by the Gollubs,
WMJS was located in a small building
off Route 231 near the Calvert County
Fairgrounds. The tower was located on a
knoll, so the station advertised itself as be-
ing High atop Thunder Hill.
Over the years the station went through
a variety of formats including easy lis-
tening, adult contemporary and country.

Guy: Commissioners Cant
Control Library Board Let Troopers Dispose Of
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
Commissioner President James Ran-
dy Guy said Tuesday that the county
government cannot control the way the li-
braries in the county are operated, despite
providing funding for them, and cannot
influence the scheduling of a controversial
teen sex education class as a result.
Our hands are tied on that, Guy said
during commissioner time at their regular-
ly scheduled meeting, responding to com-
ments from Sen. Steve Waugh on social
media that intimated the Commissioners
of St. Marys County should reign in the
library systems operations.
Commissioners must hold their library
accountable, Waugh wrote in a Twitter
feed April 14.
Though the county funds the Library
Board of Trustees and the library system,
state law requires that the trustee board
be the sole authority in running county li-
braries, Guy said.
Guys comments come as a non-profit
group, the Southern Maryland Area Secu-
lar Humanists (SMASH), has scheduled
a Washington, D.C.-based sex educator
to come and speak at their meeting at the
Lexington Park library in May.
Library system Director Michael Black-
well pledged earlier this spring that the li-
brary system had cancelled the course to
be taught by Bianca Palmisano over com-

munity backlash to Palmisanos support of
same sex practices and other sex acts that
may not be appropriate for young people
between the ages of 12 and 18, for whom
the program was originallyadvertised.
The library system, Blackwell has said,
could not stop a non-profit from bringing
the class to the library facility as part of
their meeting, however.
Guy said if residents who opposed such
classes wanted to keep them out of the
public libraries, they had to press state
lawmakers to change the library system
power structure.
The class to be offered by SMASH will
be open to high school-aged students, ac-
cording to the groups organizer Samantha
McGuire, and require parental approval
toattend.
Once parents give their consent for the
class, however, parents will not be al-
lowed to attend to see what is the content
of theclass.
Attendees will be able to pose their
questions by writing them down and
Palmisano will choose which ones to an-
swer, according to McGuire, and discard
those she considered inappropriate given
the age group.

Unwanted Prescriptions
National Drug Take Back Day,
April 29, 2017
The Maryland State Police in partner-
ship with the Drug Enforcement Admin-
istration are asking citizens dispose of
unwanted prescription drugs during the
National Prescription Drug Take Back
Day, April 29, 2017 from 10:00 am to
2:00 p.m. at state police barracks.
State police barracks throughout Mary-
land will be participating in the National
Drug Take Back Day. Each barrack will
act as a collection station giving citizens
an opportunity to dispose of all unwant-
ed and unused prescription drugs. The
National Prescription Drug Take-Back
Day aims to provide a safe, convenient,
and responsible means of disposing of
prescription drugs, while also educating
the general public about the potential for
abuse of medications.

Second only to marijuana, non-medical
prescription drugs are the most common-
ly used drug in the country. According to
the Drug Enforcement Administration,
majority of teenagers abusing prescrip-
tion drugs are finding an unlimited sup-
ply in their familys medicine cabinet.
Locally during the last initiative in Oc-
tober 2017, troopers collected over 2,100
pounds of prescription drugs. Nationally,
672,000 pounds (336 tons) of prescription
medications were collected from mem-
bers of the public. When added to the
collections from the previous Take-Back
events, more than 7.1 million pounds of
prescription medications have been re-
moved from circulation.

Comptroller Announces
Members of Reform On
Tap Task Force
Working to modernize Marylands beer
laws and promote economic growth across
the State, Comptroller Peter Franchot today
announced the members of the Reform On
Tap Task Force.
The task force, chaired by Comptroller
Franchot and composed of 40 members rep-
resenting key stakeholder groups within the
beer industry, will perform a comprehensive
review of the States antiquated laws that gov-
ern the manufacturing, distribution, and sale
of Maryland craft beer.
Current laws and regulations pose an ex-
istential threat to the industrys future growth
in Maryland; and with it, the jobs, economic
activity, tax revenue and tourism opportuni-
ties generated by this community of innova-
tors and entrepreneurs, said Comptroller
Franchot. In the absence of comprehensive
reform, Marylands reputation within the na-
tional craft brewing industry will continue to
suffer and the economies of our neighboring
states will benefit at our expense.
Task force members come from every re-
gion of the state and represent both large and
small breweries, distributors, restaurants,
bars and retailers, consumers, and local and
state elected officials.
Im grateful to the men and women who
have volunteered their time, talents, and en-
ergy by serving on this important task force,
Comptroller Franchot added. The vast ma-
jority of the members are business owners
who are making meaningful contributions to
our states economy while giving back to their
communities. I look forward to working with
each of them over the next severalmonths.
The first meeting of the Reform On
Tap Task Force will be May 24 at Johns
Hopkins University in Baltimore City. All
meetings and town halls, to be held through-
out the spring and summer across the state,
are open to the public and the press. Loca-
tions and dates of future meetings will be
announcedsoon.
The task force will develop legislative pro-
posals based on extensive review of Mary-
lands beer laws and other states laws. Addi-
tionally, feedback from industry stakeholders
and the public will be incorporated, all with
the goal of facilitating the growth and success
of Marylands craft beer industry and other

 8 Crime
Calvert Woman Pleads
in Manslaughter Case
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
Lauren Renee Scott, the North Beach
woman charged with causing the death of a
newly married St. Marys County couple on
Valentines Day last year in a vehicle crash
pleaded guilty to two counts of grossly
negligent manslaughter by vehicle in Anne
Arundel County Circuit Court Tuesday.
According to ofcials with the Anne
Arundel County States Attorneys Ofce,
Scotts plea deal includes a 20-year sentence
in prison that was suspended except for two
to eight years of active incarceration.
Scott is set to be sentenced on June 9,
ofcials said. Scott has remained on bond
since a short time after the fatal crash oc-
curred in Edgewater last year and remains
out of jail.
The husband and wife killed in the crash
were Daniel and Kayla Amos of California.
According to police, Scott was driv-
ing her 2002 Toyota Camry northbound
on Solomons Island Road and crossed the
centerline in the area of Swallow Lane and
struck the Amos car, which was traveling
in the opposing lanes on the same road.
The County Times
In the aftermath of the crash police stat-
ed that there was probable cause to believe
that Scott was driving under the inuence
of marijuana and opiates and possibly other
controlled dangerous substances.
Police stated that this condition directly
contributed to the crash and the subsequent
deaths of Mr. and Mrs. Amos.
Daniel Amos was killed at the scene
while Kayla Amos was evacuated by he-
licopter to a trauma hospital in Baltimore
with severe injuries and died the next day.
According to on-line court records Scott
had been charged with possession of nar-
cotics as well as possessing drug parapher-
nalia back in 2014 but those charges were
placed on the inactive case docket.
Daniel and Kayla Amos had been mar-
ried just six months when they were killed.

Blue Crabs Split
Doubleheader with
Long Island
The Southern Maryland Blue Crabs (2-2)
took game one of a Sunday doubleheader
against the Long Island Ducks (2-2) 6-1
before losing the second game 3-2, to split
their opening series in their 10thAnniver-
sary Season.
Led by six strong innings from starter
Daryl Thompson (1-0) the Blue Crabs
were able to secure at least a series split
by winning game one of the doubleheader.
The Blue Crabs jumped on Ducks starter
Keith Couch (0-1) putting up four runs in
the second inning, with a bases-loaded
single from Mike Blanke plating the first
two in the inning. A sacrifice fly from
Gary Brown, followed by a Danny Muno
single finished the scoring that inning, and
opened up a big enough lead for Thompson
to pitch comfortably. I felt like I had good
control of my stuff today. I was able to
command the zone and get ahead of guys,
this allowed me to stick to my game plan
throughout and earn a win for my team,
said Thompson.
Thompson allowed just one run, a long
solo homerun by Nate Freiman in the 4thin-
ning, his second of the series. The Blue
Crabs were able to respond in the bottom
half of that innings when Gary Brown to
The County Times
Long Island reliever Rob Rogers deep to
left field, for his first homerun of the sea-
son and open up the lead to 5-1, before add-
ing another in 5thto bring the game to 6-1,
where it would finish.
The Blue Crabs sent Brian Grening to
the mound in game two today with the task
of getting the team a series win. Grening
threw six strong innings, leaving the game
knotted up at 2-2. The Blue Crabs scored
two runs for him in the first, with the lead-
off hitter Brown reaching on a hit-by-pitch.
He then stole second allowing a Zach Wil-
son single to drive him in, before Cory
Vaughn was able to hit a sacrifice fly later
in the innings to score Wilson from third.
Grening loaded the bases against the
Ducks in the second, but pitched around
it allowing just one run on a Dan Lyons
sacrifice fly to score Marc Krauss. In the
5th a Nolan Reimold double, followed by
a Krauss single tied the game. The Blue
Crabs turned the game over to closer Cody
Eppley (0-1) for the seventh. He gave up a
two out walk to catcher Dominic Blanco,
who was pinch-run for by Fehlandt Lenti-
ni. Lentini, in his 170thconsecutive regular
season game, stole second and scored on a
Delta Cleary Jr. single to left and putting
Long Island up 3-2. Reliever Amalio Diaz
(S,1) worked a scoreless bottom of the sev-
enth to pick up his first save, and solidify
the win for David Aardsma (1-0) in the sec-
ond of the seven inning games.
Im happy with a split of the series to
open the season against a tough team like
Long Island, said Blue Crabs Manager
John Harris. I think we pitched great all
weekend, especially today from our start-
ers. Our offense will continue to improve
and come along as the season goes on, but
St. Marys Mens Rugby Qualifies
for National Championship
The St. Marys Mens Rugby team, a club
sport at St. Marys College of Maryland,
secured a spot for the 2017 NSCRO (Na-
tional Small College Rugby Organization)
championship held near Philadelphia, Pa.,
in June.
This will be the clubs second run for the
championship, having had a strong first ap-
pearance last year.
After placing second last year, we felt
that we had something to prove this year,
said co-captain Ivan Messi 17. With hard
work and facing the pressure, we were able
to pull through as a team.
St. Marys College was the team to
beat going into the qualifier hosted by
The Tackle Box Weekly Fishing Report
By Ken and Linda Lamb
Special To The County Times
The Trophy Rockfish Season has im-
proved greatly over the opening weekend.
There was a steady stream of fishermen
bring in their catches starting Monday. The
trolling is still not in the good category,
more like fair, which is only one grade
up from poor, but gradually improving
daily. Some fishermen seem to be on the
the lucky spot every time out, landing lim-
its on each trip. Others in the same area,
using all the same techniques and lures, get
skunked - go figure. Maybe the best area
we have heard abouthas been from Little
Cove Point to above the Power Plant in
about 40 feet of water. The mouth of the
Potomac has had some really big fish, but
few; the upper Potomac has been devoid of
fish. All this can change overnight.
Smaller rockfish in the 17- to 24-inch
range have been caught by lure casters in
many areas. The St. Marys River has good
numbers of these smaller fish which are all
catch and release until the minimum is re-
duced to 20 inches onMay 15.
Last Tuesday aspeckled trout of 20 inch-
es was landed mixed with these rockfish.
This speck was unexpected this early, but
may indicate a good season for these this
year as lots of them were in the tributaries
of the lower Potomac last fall.
Jim Batch, Jr..Russel Shackelford, James Dough-
erty, and Jim Batch, Sr. trolled up this batch of
stripers near the Gas Docks above Cove Point
Thursday, April 27, 2017
this is a good way to start it off for us.
The Blue Crabs continue their 10th An-
niversary Season Tuesday, April 25thas the
York Revolution come to town. The Blue
Crabs will send their all-time strikeout
leader Gaby Hernandez to the mound for
his first start this season. He is set to face
off against Yorks Victor Mateo, with first
pitch slated for 6:35 P.M.

Franklin & Marshall Saturday, April 8,
Messi said. St. Marys College beat out the
host team in the finals 12-7.
The 2017 NSCRO 7s Championship will
be on June 3 4, in conjunction with the
CRC 7s at Talen Energy (formerly PPL)
Park in Chester, Pa., as part of the festival
of collegiate rugby.
The St. Marys College team is coached
by volunteers Larry Donmoyer and Terry
Pledger.
From St. Marys College of Maryland
The first croaker of the season were
brought into The Tackle Box early Sunday
morning. Clay Arnold caught two 10-inch
croaker (known locally as hardhead) off
the public fishing pier under the Solomons
Bridge on the Calvert County side. The
April 23rd date is about average for the
first of these species that come into the bay
from the Atlantic and spend the summer
here feeding on the bays bounty of crabs,
shrimp, minnows, etc.
The first spot should be arriving for their
summer migration anytime.
White perch
are now biting
in the creeks
and rivers.
We need the
five day string
of80 degree
days promised
starting this
coming Thurs-
day to break
the fishing
wide open.

 14 Feature Story
Impact Fee
Debate Begins
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
For the first time in 17 years the Com-
missioners of St. Marys County acted to
increase the impact fee on new home con-
struction from $4,500 to $5,500, making
an incremental move to draw more rev-
enue but avoiding drastic increases of up
to $25,000 for each new dwelling by 2018
under a proposed ordinance that the devel-
opment and real estate community viewed
as disastrous.
However, those same observers fear that
if the county does not take a measured ap-
proach to further increases in the impact
fee, which helps to offset the addition of
more residents by paying for more roads,
schools and other infrastructure, housing
prices could rise to the point where po-
tential buyers could be forced out of the
market.
Charlotte Hall-based construction de-
veloper John K. Parlett, Jr., who supported
some increase in the impact fee believed
that the $1,000 rise proposed Tuesday by
Commissioner Tom Jarboe was a reason-
able one.
Its not an unreasonable or unexpect-
ed adjustment, Parlett told The County

The County Times
Times. But it appears that the commis-
sioners got the cart before the horseby
acting before studying.
Commissioner John OConnor said at
the regular commissioner meeting that he
had county finance officials craft a formula
in the ordinance that essentially brought
the conversation on impact fees up for
publicdebate.
I needed this conversation to hap-
pen, OConnor said. The formula might with it, Parlett said.
not have been great, but were having the
conversation.
Parlett was critical of the process to reach
the proposed formula, which increased the
impact fee to more than $12,000 by July
and doubled it to more than $25,000 by
2018, though was not adopted.
You dont start a conversation by setting
the house on fire and then looking for the
fire extinguisher, Parlett said. With sala-
ries being what they are housing prices are
out of reach for many people.
Much increased impact fees, coupled
with even greater expenses for hook-
ing into central water and sewer for new
homes, meant that developer costs would
be rolled into consumer prices on homes,
Parlett said.
Younger people looking to buy homes
might be forced to live in more and more
rental properties, he said.
I dont know how theyre going to cope
Theresa Kuhns, director of Government
Affairs at the Southern Maryland Associa-
tion of Realtors (SMAR), said the commis-
sioners acted wisely to establish a focus
group to study how much the impact fee
had to be increased to actually pay for in-
frastructure growth.
But she warned that it was already ex-
pensive to save for a down payment on a
home in St. Marys and too high an im-
pact fee, combined with other rising costs,
meant deepening mortgage commitments.
How much of a mortgage can you expect
people to take on? Kuhns said. Theres a
lot of impact beyond the impact fee.
She said a depressed housing construc-
tion market meant fewer construction jobs
and fewer service jobs to support them.
According to figures from SMAR it
takes almost five years to save for a five
percent home down payment of $11,171, as-
suming a household saved five percent of
its income per year.
Additionally it would take almost 10
years to save up for a 10 percent down pay-
ment of just over $22,000 and 18-and-a-
half years to save up for a 20 percent down
payment of $44,683.
Commissioner President James Randy
Guy argued during debate on the ordinance
this week that despite high excise taxes,
much like impact fees, in Charles County
and fears from realtors that it would de-
press the housing market there was actually
double-digit growth last year.
Kuhns said there was a $14,000 such
tax in Charles on single-family homes and
$12,000 for multi-family dwellings.
But the transfer tax is half that of St.
Marys, she said.
St. Marys County transfer tax is 1 per-
cent and is applied to all real estate transac-
tions, not just new construction.
There is also a question as to how much
raising the impact fee in St. Marys will ac-
tually produce in revenue since the actual
Thursday, April 27, 2017
Photos by Frank Marquart
number of those fees the county has col-
lected as dropped precipitously since the
crash of the housing market back in 2008.
Figures from the Department of Land
Use and Growth Management show that in
2004 the county collected impact fees on
1,433 dwelling units and 815 in 2008 but
that dropped off by more than half in 2009
with just 356 impact fees collected.
There was a recovery by 2012 of 641 im-
pact fees but that dropped off to its lowest
point in 13 years with just 318 collected on
in 2016.
Thats an exceedingly small number,
Parlett said. Its not like we have this out
of control growth that we have to control.
The increase of impact fees needs care-
ful consideration.
Commissioner Todd Morgan said the
$1,000 fee increase was a fair and reason-
able start and also believed that caution
was required in coming to a realistic im-
pact fee increase in the near future.
You are pricing things very high,
with impact fees, transfer taxes and util-
ity hookups, Morgan said, adding that he
was concerned that St. Marys may not be
in the same contention for guaranteed fed-
eral housing loans for prospective buyers as
Charles and Calvert counties, where home
prices are higher.
That could mean that local home shop-
pers could indeed be priced out of the
market without even being able to get a
mortgage.
You cant get the appraisal to even get in
the house, Morgan said.
Since the county expected to collect on
about the same number of dwelling units
as last year, he said, it was not realistic to
expect the increased impact fees on those
homes to make up for all of the added ser-
vices and infrastructure residents wanted.
We can beat up on developers but the
county hasnt built a new road in 25 years
except FDR Boulevard, Morgan said.
Any new roads have been built by devel-
opers and they pay for all those roads and
turn them over to the county.
The focus group studying the impact fee
is set to give their findings by Nov. 1.

(Lt. Col., USAF)
(Ret), 81, of Leon-
ardtown, MD
passed away April

Hospital Center
surrounded by his
loving family. Bill
was married to his wife Sue Ann Yingling
for 51 loving years.
He was born September 8, 1935 in
Pennsylvania to the late James Yingling
and Violet Bryan.
In 1957, Bill earned his Bachelor of Sci-
ence degree from Pennsylvania State Uni-
versity. On December 3, 1958, Bill entered
the United States Air Force, Wright Pat-
terson Air Force Base in Ohio until 1959
in the Power Plant Laboratory. He served
with Air Force Rocket Propulsion Labora-
tory at Edward Air Force Base in Califor-
nia from 1959-1961. He studied at the Air
Force Institute of Technology from 1961-
1963 earning his Master of Science de-
gree in 1963. He worked with the Atomic
Energy Commission, Division of Reactor
Development in Germantown, MD in the
Joint NASA/AEC Space Nuclear Propul-
sion Ofce from 1963-1967. He served in
Sunnydale, CA from 1967-1969 with the
Ofce. He studied at the Air Force Insti-
tute of Technology from 1969-1971 before
transferring to the Air Force Weapons
Laboratory, Analysis Division at Kirtland
Air Force Base in New Mexico. He earned
his PhD in Aerospace Engineering in 1973
from the Air Force Institute of Technolo-
gy. In 1974 he transferred to the Defense
Nuclear Agency, Field Command, Test Di-
rectorate until 1978. His last tour of duty
was at the Department of Energy, Ofce
of Military Applications in Germantown,
MD. He retired with over 22 years of
dedicated service in the United States Air
Force as a Lieutenant Colonel. In 1979,
he began his second career with Analytic
Services (ANSER), a non-prot analysis
group in Crystal City, VA supporting the
Air Staff at the Pentagon. During his 19
years of dedicated support he worked in
Strategic Systems, Resource Planning and
Aeronautical Analysis. During his career
Bill earned many medals and awards but
what he cherished was the love and re-
spect of his co-workers and friends.
After retirement he became a Master
Mason in Brunswick, MD and was an avid
golfer. In 2005, he moved to St. Marys
County to be closer to family and became
active with the Thomas J. Shryock Mason-
ic Lodge in Hollywood, MD. He was ac-
tive in the community and enjoyed helping
his friends and neighbors. He helped his
niece, Jackie Ellis, build her family home
in Washington County acting as the con-
struction foreman ensuring the work site
was clean and orderly. He looked forward
to playing bridge at the Garvey Center. In
his later years when he couldnt be as ac-
tive as he liked her resumed his hobby of
collecting coins with his grandchildren.
However, his greatest love was spending
time with his family, especially his grand-
children. He took an Alaskan cruise with
his wife and a cruise with his grandchil-
dren and family to the Panama Canal.
In addition to his beloved wife, he is also
survived by his son, David M. Yingling
(Julie) of Hollywood, MD; his grandchil-
dren, Alexa and Jackson Yingling; his
niece: Jackie Ellis (Chris), and his great
nieces Helena Ellis, and Kristin Whorton;
and many extended family and friends. In

SMECO Marks 3 Millionth
ENERGY STAR Bulb
Southern Maryland Electric Cooperative
(SMECO) announced that its residential
customer-members have purchased three
million ENERGY STAR bulbs since 2010,
resulting in more than 128,000 megawatt-
hours in energy savings. The energy sav-
ings are the equivalent of taking more than
19,000 passenger vehicles off the road for
one year, or removing carbon dioxide emis-
sions from more than 10 million gallons of
gasoline consumed.
SMECOs Lighting Program encour-
ages customers to replace their incandescent
bulbs with energy-saving lighting by of-
fering in-store discounts up to $7 per bulb
at local participating retailers. ENERGY
STAR bulbs use 75 percent less energy and
last up to 10 times longer than incandescent
bulbs, according to the U.S. Department of
Energy. Because they require less energy
to produce the same amount of light, they
help to protect the environment by reducing
greenhouse gas emissions and save money
on energy costs.
LED technology has advanced rapidly
and ENERGY STAR bulbs are now more
affordable for SMECO customer-members,

especially when they take advantage of in-
stant discounts, said Jennifer Raley, Energy
and Technology Programs Manager, De-
mand Side Management for SMECO. This
three-million-bulb milestone conrms our
commitment to helping southern Maryland
residents save energy and money.
Lighting discounts are just one way SME-
CO helps its customers reduce energy usage
in support of the EmPOWER Maryland goal
to reduce energy consumption in the state.
Raley added, SMECO offers programs
to businesses and commercial facilities, as
well as rebates on heat pumps and other
household appliances. Improving energy ef-
ciency is an effective way to reduce energy
costs.

Program, along with other programs de-
signed to save energy and money, is avail-
able at SMECO.coop/save.
As a cooperative, SMECO will always
put its members rst and be responsive, re-

Donor Helps Renovate The Newtown Players Provide A
Arcs Residential Location Dose Of Food, Faith And Family
Achieve with us. That tagline is a
phrase which serves as a call to action for
The Arcs employees, its community mem-
bers, and the people they support. As a
non-profit organization supporting people
with intellectual and developmental dis-
abilities, The Arc has come to realize the
true impact of people coming together to
achieve their mission, creating opportu-
nities for independence and personal suc-
cess for these individuals. Recently, a par-
ent by the name of Sam Brown has come to
truly embody that call to action.
Sams son began receiving services
through The Arc in 1996. He lives in one of
The Arcs residential locations, along with
some roommates. Last year, renovations
were needed on the home, which was built
well over twenty years ago. When Sam
Brown learned about the renovations need-
ed, he didnt hesitate to offer a generous
donation to assist in making them happen.
During the course of the project, additional
repair needs became apparent and for a sec-
ond time, Sam stepped in and donated what
he could to help. His contributions will help
to make the site more accessible for people
with limited mobility while also improving
a bathroom, the sewage system, and an old
deck area.
When asked what motivates him to give
and be so involved with The Arc, Sam said
he feels there is a real need in the com-
munity for children that grow into young
adults to have a secure place to live and
hed like to help the organization contin-
ue to grow. He also says he is motivated
to give in memory of his late wife, Vicki
Brown. Vicki utilized a wheelchair for over
20 years, and that never stopped her from
being involved whether in the communi-
ty or with their son, Ben. She believed that
no matter the challenges, everyone had an
ability to contribute.
Sams selflessness has not gone unno-
ticed. Recently, The Arcs Board recog-
nized him for his generosity and presented
him with a plaque which will hang in the
renovated residence to memorialize Sams
contribution. The Arcs residential pro-
gram provides a safe and secure environ-
ment, a place to call home for people with

Sams expand the programs limited re-

In Our Community
Its dinnertime, and youre invited to
spend it with The Newtowne Players
own big Italian famiglia in Hoboken, New
Jersey, where more than plates of ravioli,
cannoli and lasagna are served up by Ital-
ian immigrant grandmothers Aida (Linda
Lagle) and Emma (Dawn Weber) in Over
the River and Through the Woods by Joe
DiPietro.
They suck you in with the food, Nick
(Hunter Martin), the Italian-American
grandson and eligible bachelor whom ev-
eryone wants to see get married, tells us.
Hes rightAida constantly plies every-
one with food, no matter their insistence
they arent hungry. With a coy smile, she
obliges with plates of dessert, salads and
ham sandwiches. (Cant decide on the
cheese? You wont have to.)
You may be sucked in by the food, but
youll stay for the family. Tengo fami-
glia, grandfather Frank (John Giusti) im-
presses on Nick throughout the play. Noth-
ing is more important than family. That
phrase becomes even more significant
when Nick tells his grandparents, with
whom he eats every Sunday for dinner,
hes been offered his dream job in Seattle.
The news doesnt sit so well. For the
grandparents, the thought of even wanting
to move away from them is unfathomable.
Thus begins a series of comedic schemes
to keep Nick around, including bringing to
Sunday dinner the lovely (oh, and single,
of course) Caitlin OHare (Randi Wright)
as bait, hoping she becomes a reason for
Nick to stay in New Jersey.
The Cast of Over the River and Through the Woods by Joe
DiPietro from left to right John Giusti, Randi Wright, Linda Lagle,
Hunter Martin, Dawn Weber and Dave Bayles.
Against Dating Violence
Statistics from the Center for Relation-
ship Abuse Awareness indicate one in
three adolescent girls in the U.S. is a vic-
tim of physical, emotional or verbal abuse
from a dating partner. The figure far ex-
ceeds victimization rates for other types
of violence affecting youth.
With this in mind, the Commission-
ers of St. Marys County joined members
of the St. Marys County Commission
for Women, St. Marys County Public
Schools and MedStar St. Marys Hospi-
tal to raise awareness regarding dating
violence by declaring Respect Week in St.
Marys County.
21
For some members of the cast, this play
is already like going to a family reunion:
Weber and Giusti played the same roles
in the troupes first rendition of the show
in 2010, and Thomas Esposito returns to
direct. This is the first time Newtowne
has reprised a show at Three Notch The-
atre, and the cast was specifically mixed
with Newtowne veteransGiusti, Weber,
Lagle and Dave Bayles (who plays grand-
father Nunzio), and more recent faces
Martin and Wright.
The family feel of the cast is evident,
especially when they gather around the
table for meals. Martin gives an earnest
performance as Nick, deftly portraying an
understandable annoyance at his grand-
parents while mixed with deep-seated
adoration. Wrights Caitlin brings an un-
derstated elegance to her scenes.
The four grandparents serve as the
backbone of the play, and the actors years
of stage experience is more than palpable.
The tenderness between the couples is ob-
vious, as is their deep care for Nick. You
may even find, in between laughing at the
Italian stereotypes and the verbal interac-
tions and interruptions of any loud, pas-
sionate family, you shed a few tears. By
the end of the play, You realize what mat-
ters is family.
Over the River and Through the Woods
runs April 21 through May 7 at Three Notch
Theatre in Lexington Park. For tickets, visit
www.newtowneplayers.org.
From Emily Funderburk, Newtown Players
Nick (Hunter Martin) and Caitlin (Randi
Wright) come to an understanding
after a harsh rejection.
Providing young people, their fami-
lies and the school system with education
about healthy relationships and relation-
ship skills and by changing attitudes that
support violence, we recognize dating
violence can be prevented, said Commis-
sioner Tom Jarboe (1st District).
Ultimately the commissioners are hope-
ful Respect Week can help to bring greater
awareness to young people, their families,
schools and communities regardless of so-
cioeconomic status, gender, sexual orien-
tation or ethnicity.

Eight courses.
You seriously doubted if the

ing, though you hoped it wouldnt:
youd tasted all your favorite dish-

for a King or Queen. Or maybe a
president, and in The Presidents
Kitchen Cabinet by Adrian
Miller, youll read about First
Family feasts.
Last year, while they were on the
campaign trail, you mightve no-
ticed that presidential candidates
often enjoyed small-town Ameri-
can cuisine. Their willingness to
sample, says Miller, proves that
politicians are just like us, a like-
ness that stops at the White House
doors. Presidents, as you know,
have staff and many Presidential
families have dined on the efforts
of African Americans in the White
Housekitchen.
Early accounts of the first Exec-
utive Mansion kitchen indicate the
enormity of cooking for the Presi-
dent, even then: it was the size of
a small house at 43 feet long, 26
feet wide, with fireplaces at ei-
ther end. Slaves who toiled there lived in They, of course, werent the only Af-

Just Another Normal Week Ocial Military Records,
My husband and I divide our weekend
up into date night #1 for Fridays, date
night #2 for Saturdays, and occasionally
add a date day #3 on Sundays.
Date night #1:
Pizza night or Burritos and Fiesta Steak
night? Margaritas denitely. What says
romance better than a warm burrito it
denitely makes for a long lasting night.
Who can pass up a night at Tequila Grill in
Charlotte Hall great service, great food,
and great drinks. I ate more salsa and
chips than anyone should, and inhaled half
of my Fiesta Steak (ultimate comfort food)
before saying Uncle. I believe I burped my
way through the grocery store after that,
but we were full and happy.
Date night #2: True Romance:
If you are on my facebook page you will
have seen this one.
Saturday evening; delicious seafood
dinner at Shymanskys restaurant over
in Cobb Island, listening to a great, true,
live Motown band. Then we get home, and
later as my husband runs his hand through
and nuzzles my hair, he says, Ah...you
smell like fried oysters.
Date day #3: Buzzed in more ways
than one:
I have found that two people still buzzed
from spending a day at a winery on the
Virginia wine and oyster trail should not
attempt to go shopping, end up buying
red maple trees, and then go planting said
trees at night while arguing over place-
ment, then disturbing a nest of very angry

ground bees. Im still red and itchy, and
really hoping that several bee stings helps
Arthritis like Ive heard. The oysters just
did not counteract all that.
What will this weekend bring? Ro-
mance, excitement, wine, more margari-
tas? Hopefully the Mens Over 40 Softball
tournament will occur on Saturday and
we will have a date night on Friday. I have
a feeling after my husband plays ball all
day, that date night #2, possibly even date
day #3 may be out of the question.
I wouldnt mind an easy date night of
crabs and a drink, a little live music is
always perfect too. I am not adverse to a
touch of Swampwater at Gilligans Pier
even. Thats what we have all worked for
isnt it, made it through to empty nesters
for? Just a bit of fun at the end of the work
week when we can kick back, reect on
life, enjoy your spouse or partner after
a whole week of rushing here and there
and barely having time to catch up. Date
nights are the nights are the nights where
you can tell each other all the things you
forgot to mention during the week.
I hope you have some fabulous date
nights this weekend whether it be with a
spouse, or a catch-up night with children
or friends. Take a break and enjoy what
surrounds us.

Civil War, Pt. I
Although there was very little (or no)
combat in St. Marys County during the
Civil War, there was plenty of spying,
smuggling, and political intrigue. The in-
formation below was pulled from ofcial
military records beginning in 1863.
February 17, 1863: Headquarters First
Army Corps, Near Belle Plain, Va. The
afternoon of the 14th was spent in search-
ing the houses and country in the vicin-
ity of Machodoc Creek. A large quantity
of contraband matter had been landed at
this point and sent forward to Warsaw.
Dr. Spalding, of Leonardtown, Md., had
crossed the Potomac the night previous.
The doctor is the wealthiest and largest
trader on the Neck.
October 21, 1863: Headquarters Saint
Marys District, Point Lookout, Md. Lieut.
John Mix, Comdg. Detachment Second
and Fifth U.S. Cavalry: You will, with
one commissioned ofcer and 106 men
of your command, proceed by way of the
Three Notched road to Leonardtown, in
the county of St. Marys, at which place
you will establish your headquarters. You
are charged with the duty of suppressing
contraband trade and all disloyal practic-
es, arresting deserters and escaped pris-
oners, and preserving the public peace.
The more effectually to accomplish these
objects, you will send small detachments
of your force to Charlotte Hall, Chaptico,
the mouth of the Patuxent River, and such
other points as you may deem necessary.
It is reported that some persons are now
engaged near the mouth of the Patuxent
and above there in enlisting into the mili-
tary service slaves and free persons of
color without proper authority from the

War Department. You will inquire into the
matter, and if you nd such to be the case
you will cause them immediately to desist
and to leave this military district forth-
with, if they are not residents therein.
You will take with you rations and for-
age for three days, and afterward supplies
will be sent to Leonardtown for your de-
tachmentyou will be particularly careful
that no depredations are committed by any
of the men under your command upon the
property of any person whatever.
April 22, 1864: Headquarters, Orange
Court-House. General Braxton Bragg,
Commanding Armies of Confederate
States. General: Colonel Beale, Ninth
Virginia Cavalry, who has been operat-
ing on the lower Rappahannock and in the
Northern Neck of Virginia, reports that no
steamers or tow-boats of any kind are in
Saint Marys River. The Negro regiment
regiment recently in Westmoreland, which
came from Leonardtown, has been sent to
the front; destination unknown. It is cer-
tain that a large number of vessels are go-
ing down the bay and his scouts think that
troops are going to the Peninsula.
May 16, 1864: Headquarters, Saint
Marys District, Point Lookout. Lieut.
J. Mix, Comdg. Cavalry Detachment at
Leonardtown. Lieutenant: The report of a
detective in this district, referred to me by
General Butler, complains that the detach-
ment under your command is too lenient
toward blockade-runners and secession-
ists who keep good liquor, and that they
are not sufciently active in detecting con-
traband trade.
To be continued.
