Jarboe Wont Seek Second

Commissioner Term
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
With elections coming next year,
County Commissioner Tom Jar-
boe has said that he will not seek
reelection.
Jarboe said he enjoys the job of
being an elected ofcial but his
current career in international
business is proving to be a tough t

Jarboe works for a company
called Ausley Associates and sells
weapons systems to allies of the
United States.
Ive had to take 12 international
trips, its very wearing, Jarboe
said of trying to balance both his
career and attending to commis-

In international business you
have to be all over the place, Jar-

Water Contaminates Fuel
at Leonardtown Burchmart
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
Corporate ofcials at Burchmart say
that gasoline contaminated by rainwater at
their Leonardtown store was responsible
for the break down of as many as 16 ve-
hicles that used their gasoline.
The store opened at 5 a.m. Wednesday,
said Donnie Burch of the Burchoil com-
pany, and the store was shutdown at 6:15
when they realized there was a problem.
Burch said that a customer complaint
led to the shutdown when the customer
told them their vehicle broke down shortly
after they purchased the fuel.

Burch said contractor work on the af-

from subsequent rains; since then the con-

the store reopened.

St. Marys County Man
Nets $100,000 Lottery Win
Lucky Catfish still
cannot believe his Mary-
land Lottery luck. Intu-
ition, a heaven-sent sug-
gestion or a whisper from
Lady Luck sent him back
to a St. Marys County
retailer and he hooked a
$100,000-winning Super
Crossword scratch-off.
I was leaving my dads
house at noon and decid-
ed to stop at Burchmart
in Leonardtown, said
the father of one. The
Lottery retailer is one of
several that Lucky Cat-
fish frequents to buy his
four or five scratch-off games each week.
I bought one ticket, left the store and
went six miles down the road when some-
thing told me to go back to buy another
scratch-off, said the St. Marys County
resident. He returned and immediately
felt drawn to the Super Crossword instant
ticket. Ive never played a crossword
game, he said. Something told me to buy
that one.
Rather than scratch off the instant tick-
et, the 34-year-old asked the clerk to scan
it to see if it carried a prize. Indeed it did!
She said, You might want to go home
and sit down. You won big money!
the happy winner said. Later, when he
scratched off the game to see which of
its two crossword puzzles delivered the
big win, Lucky Catfish could only find

Elms Beach Master Plan
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
A plan to improve the Elms Beach park
south of Lexington Park will be on the ta-
ble at tonights meeting of the Recreation
and Parks Board and it includes proposals
to expand and improve parking for more
visitors as well as upgrading existing
structures, a playground for children and
more access to the water as well as facili-
ties for the disabled.
The Elms Beach Master Plan, currently
in its draft form, describes the 1,020-acre
Elms property as divided between several
users, with 476 acres leased to the public
schools for environmental education and
the countys recreation and parks depart-
ment for public use.
The remaining 544 acres are managed
by the states Department of Natural Re-
sources for hunting and conservation
purposes.
The park is heavily used, according to
the plan, but lacks enough parking and
restroom facilities for all the people who
visit. The plan states that between 110 and
120 cars can effectively park on the site,
forcing other visitors to park along the ac-

nine words. Worried that his win was
$10,000 instead of $100,000, the mainte-
nance worker scanned the ticket using the
Maryland Lottery app on his phone and
confirmed the big prize.
He plans to pay off some bills with his
prize, put money into an account for his
young son, take a vacation and put the rest
of the winnings into a retirement fund.
The $10 Super Crossword game has two
more unclaimed $100,000 top prizes and
15 $10,000 prizes in addition to thousands
of others ranging from $10 to $1,000.
The Burchmart store is also a winner.

cess road.
Among the amenities proposed include
a 1,200 square-foot comfort station with a
restroom facility accessible to the disabled
as well as more storage space for canoes
and extra trash containers.
This station, the plan proposes, could
be made either stick built or a pre-cast
concrete structure that should last about
50 years and still reflect the Southern
Maryland park setting.
The site currently does not have drink-
ing water available, a sanitary sewer or a
storm sewer, according to the plan.
At the parks pavilion, improvements
could include the reinstallation of lighting
as it has had to be removed due to vandal-
ism and maintenance problems, the plan
stated.
Future lighting should incorporate
vandal resistant LED technology, the
plan reads. The lights should be con-
trolled by a light sensor and astronomical
clock.

Senator Bernie Fowler is a long-time
Calvert County resident, and has been a
chair of the Patuxent River Commission for
many years. Throughout his career, Fowler
worked to prevent the continued degrada-

Chesapeake Bay. Fowler advocates through
having a personal connection to the envi-

ing local stakeholders and policy makers.
Over the last 30 years, the Patuxent
River Wade In has inspired other organi-
zations and states to coordinate wade in
events to bring awareness to water quality.
The Nanticoke Watershed Alliance, Chesa-
peake Bay Environmental, Spa Creek and
the Center for the Inland Bays coordinate
annual wade in events using some form of
the sneaker index to measure water quality.
Looking forward to the future, young
adults are also becoming more environ-
mentally conscious and looking for ways
to get involved. As a class project, Liliane
Ventrone, a senior at Leonardtown High
School, chose the water quality of the
Patuxent River and has designed Patch Up
the Patuxent patches. The patches can be
purchased through a GoFundMe account
(https://www.gofundme.com/patchup-

patches will be donated to help support the
Patuxent River Wade In.
The Patuxent River Wade In is free and

Dodging The Darkness
I owe the mens lacrosse team at Towson
University, my alma mater, an apology.
After securing the CAA conferences au-
tomatic bid to the NCAA tournament, the
Tigers went on an epic heater.
In round one, we (alumni status qualifies
for we usage, right?) laid waste to Penn
State. The second-ranked Syracuse Orange
were next. No problem: Towson 10, Cuse 7.
The win over Syracuse earned Towson its
third trip to lacrosses Final Four and a date
with the Ohio State Buckeyes last Saturday.
It was 7-3 Tigers at halftime and all was
just freak-out-splendid. Then I unknowing-
ly transmitted The Darkness through the
television, to Gillette Stadium in Foxboro,
Massachusetts and into every innocent soul
in the Towson locker room. When the clock
expired, the scoreboard chronicled the car-
nage: Buckeyes 11, Tigers 10. The dream
was over. Dead. The only thing left was the
primal wailing and the wretched prose of a
madman and 1995 Towson graduate some-
where in Leonardtown.
The Darkness is that very real, very evil
force enveloping D.C. professional sports.

It is to the hopes of D.C. sports fans what
Round-Up is to a misplaced weed or a fam-
ished seagull is to a Thrashers French fry
on the Ocean City boardwalk. I thought it
was quarantined to the D.C. area. Now Im
worried that Im Patient Zero, that Im the
curse and that I, through my fandom, in-
fected my beloved Tigers.
And if thats possible, even probable,
whats next? With Baltimore compromised,
are the Ravens and Os doomed? And what
of youth sports? Could I ruin high school
or rec-league seasons? Oh the kidsthe
kids
Avoid me like the next great plague.
Shutter the doors to your school gym. Es-
tablish a perimeter around local soccer
fields. Orfeel free to buy me a drink and
reintroduce me to something Ive lost hold
of - reality. As Janis Joplin said, Im feel-
ing near as faded as my jeans.
Okay then. Enough of all that. Lacrosse,
Towson, curses: these were unintended
topics. But here we are again, off on anoth-
er uncontrollable tangent. Grab the stick,
man! Get control of this beast! Course
correct!
There we are. Kevin Durant is what this
is about: The man who strolled into free
agency last summer, ignored his hometown
Wizards, broke hearts in Oklahoma City
and signed with the Golden State Warriors.
With a single pen-stroke he so concentrated
the talent in the NBA to two cities Cleve-
land and Oakland that the regular season
was rendered a tedious formality. This year
would end with Dubs v. Cavs and, by God,
here we are.
Durant received much grief for his deci-
sion and the competition-neutering ripple
it sent through the league. How could he
sell out like this? Why destroy all he had
built in Oklahoma City? Did he not care
that his legacy would be reduced in Golden
State even if he won multiple titles because,
well, he now should win multiple titles?
Wouldnt championships with that War- serves, my alignment with the Cavs will
riors roster equate to glorified participation
trophies?
I initially hated Durants decision for all
these reasons. Hes a beloved local and this
just felt so LeBron-to-Miami-ish, minus an
awkward primetime announcement and
arrogance-infused pep rally.
Covert Steers Stout New Racer
to Sunday Potomac Win
Clement Cops Career First in RUSH Crates
By Doug Watson
Contributing Writer
Budds Creek, MD- York Haven Pa.s
Jason Covert scored his second win of the
season in last Sunday nights 35-lap Late
Model headliner at Potomac Speedway.
The win for Covert, worth $2500, came
aboard a brand new Cameron/Mann owned
Rocket XR-1 chassis.
The redraw placed Jason Covert and
Nick Davis on the front row for the start of
the event with Covert surging into the race
lead as the field scattered off of turn two. As
Covert paced the field, the top-five changed
on more than one occasion, until 6th start-
ing Daryl Hills secured second on the 21st
lap. Hills chased Covert for the duration,
but was no match for Covert as he rolled
to his 12th career Potomac feature win by
three car lengths at the finish. We got this
car finished up at 5:30 this afternoon. Co-
vert stated in victory lane. We basically
came here tonight to shake it down, and
to get this team a win here tonight was not
what we expected, but we sure will take it.
Covert was pleased at the performance of
his teams new car. This one is a little dif-
ferent than the one we totaledat Gaffney
but I felt really good in it and I think we can
get it better. Defending track champion
Dale Hollidge took third with Cody Gray
and Brent Bordeaux rounding out the top
five. Heats went to Jamie Lathroum and
Amanda Whaley.
Ryan Clement drove the race of his ca-
reer to score his first ever Potomac feature
win in the 20-lap RUSH Crate Late Model
main. Clement, who lined up second for the
start, blasted into the race lead on the first
lap and held off the furious charge from
eventual runner-up Darren Alvey to score
the break through win steering his Rocket
no.12. I have to thank my mom and dad
and all our sponsors. Clement stated post
race. I hope this is the first of many to
come. Defending champion Logan Rober-
son took third with Matt Tarbox and Tyler
Emory completing the top-five. Heats went
to Alvey and Clement.
In support class action, Defending track
champion Mike Latham scored his second
win of the season and career 50th in the 16-
Thursday, June 1, 2017
But Im coming around. The Finals start
the day this hits newsstands: Cavs v. War-
riors, LeBron v. Durant, Steph Curry v. Ky-
rie Irving, Kevin Love v. Draymond Green.
Who couldnt dig that? And really, is it any
different than Celtics v. Lakers, Magic
v. Bird, Kareem v. Parish and Worthy v.
McHale? Frankly, it isnt.
Right. So heres where I am: I respect
Durant for wanting to surround himself
with elite talent. Dont we all seek such
situations during our professional careers?
Ultimate success is the point, isnt it? Does
the formula really matter? And should a
player be criticized for sacrificing statis-
tics and MVP awards for championships?
Lawd, I hope not.
In reflection, I suppose I owe Durant an
apology too. Will I root for him versus the
Cavs? Its doubtful. But if recent history
virtually guarantee Durant gets what he
went to Golden State for: a championship.

Tackle Box Fishing Report Miami Marlins Call Up

By Ken and Linda Lamb
Special To The County Times
Medium sized rockfish are abundant in
the Potomac, Patuxent, and all over the bay
in general. Stripers in the 20- to 30-inch
range have been reported bytrollers, jig-
gers, and beach fishermen using either cut
bait or bloodworms. Lure casters at Goose
Creek near Cedar Point on the Naval Air
Station caught rockfish steadily on falling
tides. Most of the fish were not quite the 20-
inch minimum, but there were enough in
the 24- to 28-inch (4 to 6 pounds) range for
most to get their two-fish limit. Trollers in
the lower Potomac between buoys 7 and 9
are getting plenty of keepers. The Patuxent
opens completely for rockfish catches start-
ing Thursday, June 1.
The Town Creek Pier is now open on
weekends and fishing there has been very
good at twilight and into the night. Each
night this week the pier produced about 20
spot, 20 croaker, and as many as 50 rock-
fish of which about 9 keepers were landed.
Perch are plentiful there too.
Catfish are plentiful at Bushwood
Pier in Avenue in the Potomac. The first
croaker have shown up there too as well as
whiteperch.
Speckled sea trout continue to be caught
in good size in the bay and Honga River
and the lower Potomac. These are still rare
in the cold wet spring we are experiencing,
but the trout and all other fish will get much
better with thesun and warmth the month
of June promises.
Crabs are picking up and will have a burst
of activity to make up for lost time when we
get a couple of sunny days in arow.

The Miami Marlins announced
on Tuesday that they selected the
contract of formerSouthern Mary-
land Blue Crabs Infielder Steve
Lombardozzi. He will report to
the Miami Marlins after beginning
the season with the teams AAA
affiliate.
The 28-year-old infielder began
the 2016 season with the Southern
Maryland Blue Crabs. He appeared
in 40 games for the Blue Crabs, hit-
ting .367, while stealing eight bases
and driving in 20 runs for the team.
His contract was purchased by the

Brown was promoted to player/coach,
and will serve as the hitting coach for the
remainder of the teams 10thanniversary
season.
We are honored to have Gary join the

Im grateful for the opportunity tocon-
tinuemy work with the Blue Crabs, said
Brown. Im happy to further help my team
win in every way possible for the remainder
of this season and beyond.

idea for exposing more school-age children

that their machine would cost between
$500 and $600, adding to the attraction of
their solution.
An observer at the challenge asked if the

CSM Observes 58th Spring Commencement
College Awards 912 Degrees, Certificates
The College of Southern Maryland cel-
ebrated 601 candidates for 912 degrees and
certificates during its 58th spring com-
mencement ceremony held May 18 at the La
Plata Campus. In addition, for the first time,
CSM recognized 18 apprenticeship comple-
tions who have met all requirements to sit
for their journeyman license exam, includ-
ing 600 hours of classroom instruction and
8,000 hours of on-the-job training over four
years.
We have a lot in common, said CSM
President Dr. Brad Gottfried to the soon-to-
be graduates. Were both closing the chap-
ter called The CSM Years. This was the
last CSM graduation for Gottfried, who will
retire June 30 after 11 years of leading the
college. He was the keynote speaker for the
event.
CSM awarded 642 associate degrees and
270 certificates: 36.9 percent of the students
receiving awards were from Charles Coun-
ty, 30.4 percent from St. Marys County and
25.1 percent from Calvert County with 7.5
percent from outside of the region.
Associate degrees were awarded pre-
dominantly in the fields of general studies,
nursing, arts and sciences and business ad-
ministration, while general studies: trans-
fer, accounting: basic and advanced and
cybersecurity were the most predominant
certificates.
Youngest Graduate and Student Speaker
Fanta Gai
Student speaker Fanta Gai of Waldorf,
who just celebrated her 18th birthday last
week, is the youngest graduate at this years
spring commencement ceremony. She was
also the youngest graduate in her high
school class when she finished her studies in
The Gambia, where she grewup.
Born in New York City to a mother who
worked at an airline company and a father
who was from The Gambia, the family
moved back to Africa when Gai was very
young, only returning to the United States
to visit during summer breaks. Gai excelled
in school, earning her high school diploma
a year early.
CSM was a good match for her. I loved
the environment, she said. I thought I
would be very intimidated. As she got used
to college, she was also getting used to liv-

ing in the United States. She said she en-
joyed the inexpensive and what-to her were
somewhat exotic foods in the United States,
especially pizza and pancakes. She also ap-
preciated the consistent supply of electricity
and hot water here.
The aspect of college that she most en-
joyed, she said, was CSMs professors at-
titudes toward their students success. Here
they actually encourage you and help you
to excel, she said, adding that the approach
to education in her home country could be
harsh.
Gai earned an associate degree in general
studies from CSM. She intends to continue
her education at UMBC or the University of
Maryland, studying international relations.
Success in the United States required Gai
to learn a new skill, she said. Here you have
to look for opportunities and put yourself out
there. In her speech to her fellow graduates,
Gai encouraged her peers to do the same
as they all prepare to start new somewhere
else, whether it be a new college or new job.
She expressed appreciation for her experi-
ence at CSM and how it helped prepare her
for her next step in life. My two years at
CSM has validated my potential, she said.
Everything is achievable.
Oldest Graduate Mike Howard
The most senior graduate is Mike How-
ard, 69, of Charlotte Hall, who received his
associate degree in nursing.
Howard is quick to point out that his age
and situation were more of a benefit than a
hindrance as he worked toward his degree.
He noted that his younger classmates gen-
erally had to juggle multiple responsibilities
along with the challenging coursework. As a
retiree, Howard had the opportunity to con-
centrate solely on his studies.
They are my inspiration, he said of his
fellow nursing students. Im very, very
lucky to do what Im doing without having
to be overly concerned about income and
raising a family.
Howard was born in Washington, D.C.,
and moved to Charles County in the early
1970s. He was a member of the United States
Naval Reserve and served on both active
duty as well as fulfilling his Reserve obliga-
tion. He has worked as a union plumber and
then for more than 30 years as a construction
foreman and facilities supervisor for Giant.
Howard credits his wife, Mary Ellen, and
his five adult children with encouraging him
to continue his education.
He was a volunteer paramedic with the
rescue squad as well as the Charles County
Mobile Intensive Care Unit and it was this
experience that sparked Howards interest in
medicine and patient care. When he retired
several years ago, Howard realized he had
the chance to pursue this new career path.
His goal is to work as a hospice care nurse.
I want to be a part of the patient/family care
team that works together to provide the cli-
ent with the highest quality of life possible in
the time remaining to them.
Howard encourages other older students
to take advantage of CSMs opportunities.
Keynote Speaker
CSM Board of Trustees Chair Dorothea
Smith introduced Gottfried as commence-
ment speaker. She described his remark-
able legacy of building for the future at
CSM, including his efforts to keep a CSM

Prior to the May 18

Tom Seremet, a longtime
colleague, discussed
ways that Poinsett has
impacted math educa-
tion at CSM. Poinsett is
largely responsible for
a remarkable change in
higher level math classes
at CSM, he said.
In the past, it was
pretty much all boys in
the advanced math class-
es. Now theres as many
girls, Seremet said.
And with confidence
and energy, those girls

are achieving every bit as much as the boys.
Seremet credits this change with Poin-
sett starting the Women and Math pro-
gram, which has expanded into Women +
STEM, at CSM about a dozen years ago.
Through an annual conference and other
events, the program encourages female stu-
dents to consider all the options available to
them, even advanced math classes. She has
changed the playing field, Seremet said.
What shes done is help give young women
the confidence and motivation to take math.

12 Feature Story The County Times
Baptist Academy Faces Closure
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
For nearly 40 years Victory
Baptist Academy in Charlotte
Hall, affiliated with Victory Bap-
tist Church, has sought to provide
a rigorous education for students
from Kindergarten through high
school and fundamentalist Chris-
tian values but at least for the next
academic year that tradition is like-
ly to come to an end.
Pastor Jerry Skinner, who has
led the church for the last three
years, said that the financial cost
of keeping the small school open is
YOUR DOOR
just too much to continue to bear.
YOUR CHOICE Financially we just cant do it
YOUR STYLE with the number of students we
have, Skinner told The County
Times. For a long time the church as had to
make up the difference.
Skinner explained that for years the costs
of running the school, which had a little more
than 60 students this past year, required the
church to help sustain its operation.
Skinner said the only way the school could
continue to remain open for the next aca-
demic year was for an additional 22 students
to matriculate.
He did not think that likely, he said, and
closure seemed the only option left.
As of right now its pretty definite, Skin-
ner said. It is very sad.
Tuition rates at Victory Baptist Academy
were much lower than at other schools, Skin-
ner said.
Our prices are so much cheaper than

Service on All Makes & Models Tuition at St. Marys Ryken High School
in Leonardtown is $14,300 per student for
the academic year.
Tuition at Victory Baptist was less than
half at $5,500 a year for one student.
With a relatively small student body of 63
students, some of whom did not attend physi-
cally but were part of a home schooling um-
brella group, class sizes averaged about eight
students per session, Skinner said, with the
high number going up to about 10 students.
Even with the many advantages of small
class sizes and the personalized attention that
could be afforded to students, getting new
students into the school had long been a chal-
lenge, Skinner said.
Weve been struggling with the number
[of students] for years, Skinner said.
Gary Craven and his wife have been with
the church since 1986 and made sure that a
rigorous and Christian education would be
available for their three children.
All three of my kids graduated from
here, Craven said. And theyve all done
very well.
His daughter has gone on to be a vice
president at an insurance company, while
his two sons have gotten employment with a

local defense contractor and as a warehouse
manager, he said.
I wanted them to the get the academics
but also the scriptural teachings as well,
Craven said.
Craven worked for years as a field engi-
neer for a defense contractor but also worked
as a bus driver for Victory Baptist Academy.
Many parents helped at the school or gave
their time in other capacities to help com-
plete their childrens education, Craven said.
Its a community but its more like a fam-
ily, Craven said.
He and Skinner lamented the condition
their school faced but said their plight was
the same as many other religious-oriented
schools.
I dont think that people see the impor-
tance of a Christian education, Craven said.
Victory Baptist Academy teachers, about
10 of them, all have degrees from Christian
colleges and use the well-known A Beka
Book curriculum.
The school is accredited through the
American Association of Christian Schools,
the same body, which accredits Kings Chris-
tian Academy in Callaway.
While many of the students there are
church members, membership in the church
is not required to attend.
Graduating classes of high school seniors
have been small, only about four or five a
year.
Its a place of education, Skinner said,
adding that graduates have gone onto the
legal field as well as chemical engineering.
But some have also chosen to go into full-
time Christian missionary work or have be-
come pastors of their own churches.
Skinner said church leaders have tried to
come up with a plan to keep the school open
for the past seven months but all options
seem to have been exhausted.
If we were to open again there might not
be a Victory Baptist Church and the church
has to survive, Skinner said. We have to
give out the Gospel and people have to have
a place to come for their spiritual needs.
Both Skinner and Craven said that despite
the need to close the school for the coming
year, they still plan to find a way to open as
soon as they can be-
cause of the importance
they place on Christian
education.
For everybody here
its a tough time, Cra-
ven said. Its tough on
the staff, its tough on
the parents.

Crab Picking
For The Novice
By Guy Leonard, Staff Writer
With each summer comes the bounty of
the Chesapeake Bay watershed in the form
of blue crab to seafood houses and picnic
tables around Southern Maryland, but each
year someone who wants to try the hardy
crustacean is doing so for the first time.
While the meat of the hard crab is deli-
cious and succulent, getting to it is time
consuming for experienced crab pickers
and daunting for a novice.
Its meat is held in deep crevices inside
the hard shell and stiff spines on its main
body and claws can scratch and scrape
unexpectedly.
The first step is getting a good hold on
the crab, which can be difficult since they
come out of the steamer piping hot and of-
ten loaded with spices.
Turn the crab over and remove the T-
shaped flap that protects their reproductive
organs; remove these as well.
Some people simply tear these parts
away with their hands, while others use a
knife to remove them.
Once this is done the top half of the cr-
abs main body needs to be removed.

Southern Maryland Offers
Quiet Summer Spots
By Guy Leonard, Staff Writer
Summer vacation means fun and sun
and usually lots of people in close quarters,
but Southern Maryland offers spaces for
vacationers looking for more secluded and
peaceful enjoyment.
Calvert Cliffs State Park offers numer-
ous trails for hiking through forested areas
that lead out to the beachfront where hik-
ers can relax to waves and fresh winds or
search for fossils along the shore.
Fossils often found include ancient shark
teeth, whale bones and ray skeletons.
Trail hiking can consume an entire day
as there are a total of 13 miles of trails from
which to choose.
Fishing is also allowed at the park, how-
ever fossil hunting in the cliff face is strict-
ly prohibited as collapsing sands have been
deemed a safety hazard.
Visitors are also prohibited from walk-
ing under or on the cliffs for safety reasons.
In neighboring St. Marys County St.
Marys River State Park offers a 7-mile
hiking route surrounding St. Marys Lake
off of Campcosoma Road in Callaway.
Boating and kayaking are pastimes on
the lake as is freshwater shing.
Hikers on the trail can even encounter
horse back riders as the trails are open for
equestrian activities.
Playgrounds are available at both loca-
tions for families vacationing with young
children.

site of 2,200 acres set aside as wild lands

arrowheads and pottery shards can still be
found in elds and stream banks on the St.
Marys River.
Perhaps amongst the most secluded sites
in Southern Maryland is the Newtown Neck
State Park in Compton near Leonardtown.
Once owned by the Society of Jesus, the
park is now open to the public for beach
walks and nature observation on trails.
Soon to be improved for more park
visitors, the area is still being preserved to
maintain the rural character.
Newtown Neck is also home to St. Fran-
cis Xavier Catholic Church, one of the old-
est parishes in the country.
Access to a protected cove is available
from a natural kayak launch and seven
miles of shoreline provide opportunities for
shing and wading.
Since part of the park is open to seasonal
hunting of deer and owl, visitors can expect
to see all sorts of wildlife including wild
turkeys on the property.

Raytheon Named The Patuxent

use of interactive mapping tools to moni-
tor the frog population of Calvert County.
CHESPAX was a part of the Maryland Am-
phibian and Reptile Atlas (MARA) project
for several years.Students in seventh grade
collected recordings and images of reptiles
and amphibians from their backyards and
schoolyards and shared their findings with
MARA scientists, who were documenting
the distribution of these animals across
the state.At the end of each season, they
created maps to illustrate the distribution
of different species within Calvert Coun-
ty.MARA officially ended in 2015, but stu-
dents continued to collect and submit data
to the Calvert County Natural Resources
Division for two more years.Next year, the
project will be expanded as a part of the
Maryland Biodiversity Project.
Harten sees a strong connection between
environmental science and geography.
We try to engage students with a sense
of place, he said.I often tell the seventh
graders that the data they collect on their
one-day field trip is like a piece of a jigsaw
puzzle.When we add their puzzle piece to
those of other classes and of other observ-
ers in the area, those pieces come together
to reveal a picture or to tell a story about the

Letting Go and Moving Forward
If youve followed my columns for a
while, now, you know that the last sever-
al years have been a time of tremendous
change in my life and the life of my family.
The busy home on Testosterone Terrace
has seen Prince Firstly, Forgotten Middle
Child Tim, and Baby Benji through proms
and graduations and colleges and rst
jobs. In just a few short days, there will be
another milestonethe biggest to date, to
my way of thinkingwhen Prince First-
ly marries the Lovely Lady Sarah. Ive
adapted (quite well!) to the quiet that de-
nes an empty nest, and the boys drop in
often enough so that I rarely have enough
time to start missing them.
Meanwhile, other changes have come,
too: my mom and stepdad sold the beau-
tiful family home on Church Cove in St.
Inigoes, a place Id been going to since my
youngest days. They moved into a cottage
in Asbury in Solomons, just in time, as
it turned out. Moms ALS diagnosis and
my stepdads memory problems gathered
momentum, and just nine months after the
move, Mom lost her battle, far sooner than
any of us expected, with the ALS.
Just a few weeks ago, we moved my
stepdad into Assisted Living, so hed have
more help. It wasnt an easy move: it meant
giving up his beloved dog, Jillie Bean, and
it also meant coming to terms with the
changes in independence and autonomy
that this stage of life, and a move of this
sort, means. Its not surprising that he was
frustrated and confused initially: nothing
was familiar and everything felt as if it had
spun out of his controland lets be hon-
est; it had.
For the rst few weeks, I made almost
daily trips over the bridge to help him start
to settle in and adjust, and I elded count-
less phone calls as he demanded that we
move him back homethough he readily
admitted that already, he couldnt remem-

ber where home was. Each time Id visit,
hed have a new scheme for how to get him
out of that damn place.
More often than not, as soon as he
turned away to shufe down the hall to his
apartment in Assisted Living, his shoul-
ders stooped and his gait uneven and ten-
tative, Id feel the tears come. I felt so help-
less to make things better.
As it turns out, with even a little time
and hindsight, the whole experience has
been a reminder of the amazing human ca-
pacity to adapt to change. I should have re-
membered that during those difcult rst
few weeks. Just as I have adapted to being
an empty nester, or to accepting that the
more-than-daily phone calls with Mom
are a part of the past, my stepfather has
adapted, too.
Yesterday, I called him just before
lunch-time, thinking Id stop by for a
quick visit.
Hmm, he said, seeming to consider
the idea. Im sort of busy, actually.
Jim and Fred are here, my stepfather
explained, referring to two old friends: a
neighbor and a poker-playing buddy from
the Church Cove days.
Why dont I stop by after their visit?
I offered.
Another pause. Actually, he said
again, Im going to a movie as soon as
they leave.
I know when to give up. We chatted for
a moment or two more and then said our
goodbyes. I was smilingno tears this
time.
And so, change comes, and somehow
we adapt, and our lives continue: letting
go and moving forward.
I love hearing from you. Please feel
free to contact me at thewordtech@
md.metrocast.net if you have comments or
questions about the column.

The U.S. and the Middle East
The George Washington was loaded with
about 100 minor Algerian officials and staff
; gold and jewels worth almost $2 million;
100 Negro slaves; lions; antelopes; sheep;
horses; cattle; parrots; tigers; and ostriches!
As soon as the ship got beyond the range of
the Algerian guns, Commodore Bainbridge
had the Algerian flag lowered and the U.S.
flag raised in its place, but that was about the
only consolation. The trip took almost three
weeks. During this time, due to extreme
overcrowding and bad weather, seasickness
was prevalent. And, since the Algerians on
board were Muslims, their religion required
them to pray facing in the direction of Mecca
five times each day. The only place to pray
was the main deck.
The story of this incident soon arrived back
in the U.S. and was a major scandal and em-
barrassment for the U.S. government. Trip-
oli, whose demands for additional tributes
was not being met, declared war on the U.S.
by chopping down the flagpole in front of the
U.S. consulate. Tripoli at war with us now
began seizing our ships.
In September, 1803 the Philadelphia was
accidentally run aground while pursuing a
Tripolitan war vessel. 307 officers and crew-
men were taken as prisoners and the ship was
seized before it could be successfully scut-
tled. This was the worst naval loss since the
Revolutionary War!
The prisoners endured over 19 months of
captivity. The officers fared better than the
ordinary seamen, 300 of whom were kept

in an old warehouse so small that they could
not all lie down at the same time to sleep--
so many of them had to stand throughout
the night after performing heavy labor in the
quarries during the day. There was no heat,
no water, scanty food, and no clothing or bed-
ding was provided. The prisoners were cau-
tioned that the penalty for theft was to have
their right hand chopped off and hung around
their neck so obviously that was not an option.
Lt. Stephen Decatur, Jr. (son of Captain
Stephen Decatur, Sr.) was sent by Commo-
dore Preble to destroy the Philadelphia on
February 16, 1804. He used a Tripolitan ketch
had he had previously captured and which
had been renamed the USS Intrepid. His
crew was hidden below decks while Decatur
and his pilot disguised themselves to gain ac-
cess to the harbor. The Siren was to accom-
pany the Intrepid and to stand by in case the
mission ran into trouble, but not to go in oth-
erwise. The mission was successful with 20
of the enemy being killed and the Philadel-
phia successfully destroyed. There were no
American casualties.
Lt. Decatur, just 25 years old at the time,
was promoted to Captain-- the youngest ever
appointed in the U.S. Navy. He is also cred-
ited with coining the phrase Our country!
In her intercourse with foreign nations
may she always be in the right; but our
country, right or wrong! On March 22,
1820 in Bladensburg, MD, Stephen Decatur,
was killed in a duel.
