Priest Apologizes For
Church Theft, Fraud
Motives Still Unclear
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
John S. Mattingly, the fallen priest who
pleaded guilty to stealing nearly half-a-
million dollars from the congregation
at St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church in
Newtowne Neck, told the parishioners he
had betrayed that he was sorry for what he
had done, but offered no explanation as to
why he did it.
Speaking at his sentencing hearing
Monday at the U.S. District Court in
Greenbelt, Mattingly, 71, said he wanted
to nd a way to make amends with the
entire parish he had served before retiring
in 2010, leaving one of the oldest parishes
dating back to the colonial founding of
Maryland almost insolvent.
I fully acknowledge what I did was
terribly wrong, Mattingly said. My con-
duct haunts me.
Im terribly sorry.
Mattingly said he wanted to petition the
Archdiocese to allow him to say one last
mass at the church before he dies.
Judge Deborah Chasanow handed down
a sentence of 18 months home detention,
along with three years supervised release.
Both sides stipulated to one day of in-
carceration already served when Mat-
tingly was arrested by federal authorities
last year.
Chasanow said Mattinglys motives for
stealing the $400,000 from his parish-
ioners from between 2006 and 2010 and
funneling the money into a retirement
fund and various other accounts, while
telling his congregation it was desperately
needed for things such as church repairs,
was somewhat bafing.
But she was sure that he was not both-
ered by what he was doing before he
got caught.
You said youve been haunted by this
for ve years, when this had been going on
long before that, Chasanow said. That
tells me you were not concerned about
what you were doing when [the theft and
bank fraud] was happening.
She noted Mattinglys signing over
$400,000 by check last week to the court
as restitution to the parish he had once

From The Publisher Al Dailey Joins County Times

A Team of Experienced Professionals Newspapers as General Manager
Thomas F. McKay,
Publisher
How time flies, it has been 10 years and
nine months since the very first edition of
The County Times hit the newsstands in
St. Marys County. The journey has been
filled with challenges, yet our thousands
of dedicated readers and many success-
ful advertisers have made this journey
possible.
Today, we are the only locally owned
and operated newspaper serving St.
Marys and Calvert counties.
Over the years our goal has been to pro-
vide our communities with the most con-
sistent and honest news coverage avail-
able. We have been fortunate to have a
dedicated team of reporters, designers,
marketing representatives, and service
members to assure we deliver the best
product we can week after week.
With the announcement this week of in-
dustry and community veteran Al Dailey
joining our team as General Manager, The
County Times reaches the pinnacle of its
10 year history and is ready to begin the
next phase of our journey.
Mr. Dailey brings to our organization
the experience, leadership qualities, and
a commitment to professional journalism
in Southern Maryland that has earned
him the respect and admiration of read-
ers and businesses throughout St. Marys
and Calvert counties. We could not be
more excited and proud to have Mr. Dailey
working with our team of professionals to
assure we are the community news source
that St. Marys and Calvert county resi-
dents are proud to call their community
newspaper.
Mr. Dailey joins a team rich in talent
with many years of commitment to the
Southern Maryland community. Along
with Mr. Dailey, our leadership team in-
cludes Eric McKay, Associate Publisher,
Dick Myers, Editor, Guy Leonard, lead
Journalist, and Jen Stotler, Marketing
Manager.
We are also delighted to welcome Sallie
Keys to the graphics design team. Sallie
brings many years of creative design to
our organization. We are excited to have
Ms. Keys talents available as she works to
provide our readers and advertisers with a
product that is creative, exciting, yet easy
to read.
We are proud of our first ten years, yet
are more excited than ever as we look for-
ward to the next ten years. We are con-
fident that your community newspaper is
building the best team in the business to
serve our friends and neighbors.
By Dick Myers
Editor
Al Dailey, General Manager
Al Dailey, who has 32 years of South-
ern Maryland media experience, has
joined The County Times newspapers in
St. Marys and Calvert counties as Gen-
eral Manager. That experience includes 17
years as Associate Publisher of the Enter-
prise Newspaper, from 1999 to 2016.
With the Enterprise, Dailey worked
closely with the business community in
St. Marys and Calvert counties. He was
active with the St. Marys County Cham-
ber of Commerce, having served on the
board and being responsible for that or-
ganizations poplar annual membership
directory.
I have admired the McKay family busi-
nesses for years from a distance, Dailey
said. It is tough to compete against the
big boxes, but the McKays have done it
successfully.
The County Times was founded by
James Manning McKay, who started the
family grocery business along with his
wife Marilyn.
McKays son Tommy now serves as
president of the family business and he
and grandson Eric serve as publisher and
associate publisher of the newspapers.
Dailey vividly remembers the Chamber
of Commerce annual meeting at the for-
mer Evans Seafood on St. Georges Island
at which James Manning McKay was hon-
ored as businessperson of the year.
Dailey is excited about the community
newspaper business, which he describes
as being a hyper-local media. People
want to know what is happening in their
backyards, he said. He added that be-
cause of that, community newspapers are
doing better than daily newspapers, which
also have the added burden of the costs of
daily distribution.
Daileys first job in Southern Maryland
was as a weekend fill-in disk jockey at
WPTX-AM in Lexington Park. He quick-
ly moved into the morning announcer role
at its sister station, WMDM-FM when
local legend, the late Gary Beavin left to
work for the then Bell Motor Company.
Dailey moved to an Annapolis station for
a few years and then returned to WPTX/
WMDM as general manager.
He explained that he spent most of the
1980s in the radio business and most of
the 1990s as general manager and partner
of Cable Channel 10 in St. Marys County.
Dailey is especially happy to be back
in the area where he has worked so long
and knows so many people. He started at
the County Times newspapers as general
manager on July 31.

County Retains Strong
Credit Rating
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
A prominent New York-based credit
ratings agency reports that St. Marys
Countys fiscal status when it comes to
its overall economy and tax base are
strong overall and that county govern-
ments handling of its debt liabilities and
pension commitments shows good man-
agement practices.
But the report also shows the countys
finances have weakened since its last re-
view by Moodys Investment Services,
as it pertains to the available fund bal-
ance as a percentage of operating rev-
enues and the net cash balance by the
same metric.
The report shows that both the balanc-
es have decreased steadily since 2013
from 25.9 percent of operating revenues
for fund balance to 17.4 percent in 2016.
For the net cash balance, it was 47 per-
cent of operating revenues but that has
since dropped to 29.6 percent in 2016.
I remain concerned, said County
Commissioner Todd Morgan. The
health of the fund balance is important
for the continued financial strength of
thecounty.
Morgan said he was neither in favor
nor cutting taxes.

to eat into the countys fund balances

services, Morgan said.
Moodys stated that percentage rates
of 32 percent and 36 percent of operating
expenses for each fund and cash balanc-
es are the median standard for jurisdic-
tions around the United States that the
agencyrates.
The countys operating budget is
about $215 million.
The credit position of St. Marys
County is very strong and its Aa2 rat-
ing matches the median rating of Aa2 for
U.S. counties, Moodys report states.
Notable credit factors include a healthy
financial position, a strong socioeco-
nomic profile with an extensive tax base
and a negligible debt burden with mid-
ranged pension liability.
Moodys stated that the countys tax
base has actually improved to a total
value of $12 billion, which is slightly
above the median figure for the nation.
The per capita value of the assessable
base also rose modestly between 2013
and 2016 to $109,842.
This figure, too, is slightly above the
national average, the report stated.
Lastly, the median family income
equals a significant 148.8 percent of the
U.S. level, the report stated.

Reforms Announced to Vehicle
Emissions Inspection Program
Governor Larry Hogan has announced
regulatory reforms that will save Mary-
land taxpayers time and money, as well
as protect the health of our environment,
through common sense changes to the
Motor Vehicle Administrations (MVA)
Vehicle Emissions Inspection Program
(VEIP). The changes include extending
initial VEIP inspections for new vehicles
by one year.
This announcement implements a rec-
ommendation from the governors Regu-
latory Reform Commissions 2016 report
released in December. The 2016 report
tasked the Maryland Department of the
Environment (MDE) and Maryland De-
partment of Transportation (MDOT) to
amend VEIP regulations to expand the
use of emerging technologies and pro-
vide opportunities to enact driver-friend-
ly improvements. Our administration
remains committed to enacting common
sense solutions that provide increased
value for Maryland taxpayers and im-
prove customer service, while protecting
the health of our environment, said Gov-
ernor Hogan. This change will put more
than $2 million back into the pockets of
Maryland taxpayers and maintain critical
environmental protections. Numerous
advancements in vehicle technology over
the years have allowed for streamlined
VEIP regulations. For example, comput-
erized on-board diagnostic testing is now
occurring on the overwhelming majority
of vehicles in Maryland.
By extending the initial VEIP inspec-
tion for new vehicles by one year, new
vehicles will have to complete the initial
inspection within36 months. Currently,
new vehicle owners must complete the
initial test within two years. All pre-1996
model year light duty vehicles (cars and
light trucks) would also be exempt from
VEIP inspections. An on-board diag-
nostic test will continue to be conducted
on 1996 and newer light-duty vehicles,
as well as 2008 and newer medium and

is harden by adding absorbents (cat litter,
sand, sawdust, or paint drying crystals)
prior to disposal. If citizens are unable to
do so, Latex Paint will also be accepted.
Items which will not be accepted in-
clude Ammunition, Asbestos, Explosive
Materials, Medical Waste, Pharmaceu-
ticals, Radioactive Materials and Picric
Acid.
Almost 54 tons of materials were col-
lected during last years event. Help us
collect even more this year and dispose
of it through safe and environmentally re-
sponsible practices.

heavy-duty vehicles. These targeted im-
provements for vehicle emissions testing
increase customer convenience, while
maintaining our progress on air quality
and the Chesapeake Bay, said Maryland
Department of the Environment Secre-
tary Ben Grumbles. Approximately 1.6
million vehicles are inspected annually
as part of VEIP. If the revised regulations
are implemented, an anticipated 209,000
vehicles would be delayed for the initial
inspection in 2018, a figure expected to
stay constant in future years.
Additionally, approximately 24,000
pre-1996 light duty vehicles would be
exempt in the first year. The VEIP pro-
gram is required by the federal Clean
Air Act to reduce ground-level ozone air
pollution. Nitrogen oxides and volatile
organic compounds react with sunlight
to produce ground-level ozone. Model-
ing shows reductions of those substances
attributable to the VEIP program to be
about 10 tons per day.
These proposed regulatory reforms are
the latest move by the Hogan adminis-
tration to make the VEIP process more
customer-friendly. Between August 2015
and October 2016, the state installed 10
new, convenient VEIP self-service kiosks
that are available 24 hours a day, seven
days a week. Jointly administered by
MVA and MDE, the kiosks allow Mary-
land vehicle owners to test vehicle emis-
sions at their own convenience and at a
reduced price of $10 compared to $14 at
the test stations.
The regulations will be submitted
to Maryland General Assemblys Joint
Committee on Administrative, Execu-
tive, and Legislative Review (AELR).
When implemented, the enhancements
will take effect January 1, 2018. In ad-
dition to taxpayer savings, the regula-
tory change will also save the state ap-
proximately $90,000 annually in reduced
mailing and credit card fees.

Sentencing For Robbery County Man Killed in
Defendant Postponed Route 5 Crash
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
The U.S. District Court in Greenbelt has
again postponed the sentencing of a man
who has already pleaded guilty to taking
part in five armed robberies in Leonard-
town and Lexington Park two years ago.
Quantaz Lamar Shields, 30, of Leonar-
dtown faces between 22 and 27 years in
federal prison for his crimes, according to
his plea agreement with federal prosecu-
tors signed by him at the beginning of the
year.
Shields along with Trevone Butler were
indicted federally last year for taking part
in the robberies of The Sign of the Whale
liquor store, the Super 8 motel and the
Papa Johns Pizza store in Lexington Park
as well as the Dash-In and CVS Pharmacy
in Leonardtown during a crime spree in
October of 2015.
Sources close to the investigation re-
vealed to The County Times that the de-
The County Times
fendants were stealing the money in an
effort to help pay for the legal expenses of
Tyreke Butler, Trevone Butlers brother,
who has since been sentenced to 50 years
in prison for attempted murder.
In that case Tyreke Butler was accused
of shooting a victim multiple times related
to a drug deal gone bad.
According to indictments filed in U.S.
District Court, Shields was the entry man
of the pair who committed the actual rob-
beries while Trevone Butler provided the
getaway vehicle.
Shields pleaded guilty to four counts of
interfering with state commerce through
robbery, according to federal plea docu-
ments, as well as one count of brandishing
during a crime of violence.
According to his plea deal, Shields must
also forfeit at least $7,378 as well as a 1997
Nissan Pathfinder vehicle he purchased
with proceeds from the robberies.

serving as the difference.
Both starting pitchers were strong through
three innings, with just three hits total being
allowed. Southern Maryland nally got to
Reinier Roibal in the bottom of the fourth,
putting up three runs in the frame. Edwin
Garcia led-off the inning with a single, ex-
tending his hitting streak to 10 games. Two

Eric Fornataro headed back to the mound

down on a double steal attempt, but Daniel
Fields advanced to third. Fields scored easily
on the next play, a groundball to second from
Tony Abreu, cutting the Blue Crabs lead to
3-1.
After a scoreless sixth inning, Fornataro
was lifted from the game after recording his
rst quality start of the season. Cody Heb-
ner came on in relief, picking up two quick
outs to start the top of the seventh. However,
Fields connected on a solo shot to right eld,
cutting the Blue Crabs lead to just one run, a
3-2 advantage.
The Bluesh rallied for a run in the top

The Tackle Box Fishing Report

By Ken and Linda Lamb
Contributing Writers
Rockfish, cobia, spot, croaker, blues,
mackerel, and perch are all hot even as the
weather has cooled and the winds have
calmed. Before the big storm, the Potomac
erupted with rockfish in the 22- to 32-inch
range in the upper regions from the Wic-
omico River to Morgantown in the shal-
lows allowing lure caters to fill their cool-
ers with hefty rockfish and an occasional
red fish. Mixed in are white perch large
enough to take a lure meant for far bigger
fish. Trollers and chummers are finding
rockfish in the Potomac.
Good-sized rockfish (and plenty just un-
der the 20-inch minimum) are in the Patux-
ent for lure-casters in the shallows at dusk
and dawn. Trollers find them in the deep
holes and on the oyster bars on running
tides.
Spot are in both the Patuxent and Po-
tomac in good numbers and size, Spot are
in the 18- to 20-foot edges in Cedar Point
Hollow.
Bluefish and spanish mackerel are mixed
in the ships channel in the bay. Trollers
using planers at fast speeds are catching
plenty.
Cobia fishing was great before the
noreaster came in last Saturday and
messed up everybodys day. Chummers
and sight-casters will have to start over to
find them and the big bull reds that were
charging around the mid-bay regionfrom
72A buoyto the Target Ship and event fur-
ther south. Chummers using chum logs or
grinding their own and baiting with live
eels will find them soon.
White perch are everywhere in the
creeks and rivers.
Crabs are very plentiful and big!
Fresh water fish is great with the fish
responding to a break in the heat with big
appetites.

Dexter McClendon won the big croaker contest for July with this 15 and one half inch fish
from the Patuxent.

Leonardtown Celebrates 15th Beach
Party on the Square
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
This weekend Leonardtowns town square will be
transformed into the biggest summer party zone of the
year, with as many as 5,000 visitors coming for fun in the
sun in mountains of sand brought in to turn the square
into beach front property.
Its a fun summertime event, said Maria Fleming,
head events coordinator for Leonardtown. Pretty much
anything you can think of related to the beach will be go-
ing on, except the trafc.
The weekend beach bash starts of with First Friday
with live music from The Lucky Few band covering mu-
sic hits from the 70s, 80s and 90s as well as a costume
contest rafe with prizes for the best dressed imperson-
ation of a favorite rock star.
On Saturday, the beach front fun begins starting at
4p.m. with free events for all the visitors including a
stilt-walking juggler, tunes from the Latrice Carr Music
Group and a balloon artist.
Classic beach activities will include beach volley-
ball, sand toys for children to play with and tug-of-war
matches.
The event will also include a makeshift waterfall pro-
vided by the Leonardtown Volunteer Fire Department
and one of its apparatus; swimsuits and ip-ops are rec-
ommended attire, Fleming said.
The event will continue rain or shine, she said, noting
that inclement weather has never shut down the beach
party, despite the fact that the 40 tons of sand the town
brings into transform the downtown square into beach-
front property can quickly turn muddy.
Last year we had rain and people still came, Fleming
said, noting that 1,500 people still showed up for fun.
The downtown square will be closed off to trafc,
Fleming said, but the town has partnered with the College
of Southern Maryland to allow parking at their campus.
A shuttle to and from the festivities will be provided,
she said.
Inatable amusements such as a moon bounce, water
slide and wrecking ball will be available for children as
well as adults and pony rides will also be available.
Food will be on hand from the 7th District Optimist
Club, Leonardtown and Lexington Park Lions Club
and others.
The County Times Thursday, August 3, 2017
The event serves not just as a summertime bash, Flem-
ing said, but as a fund raising venue for community or-
ganizations and a booster for town businesses, so party
goers are encouraged to frequent the many shops on the
town square.
This is also an economic development endeavor,
Fleming told The County Times.
Joe Orlando, president of the Leonardtown Business
Association, said the beach bash, which was second only
in size to the Christmas on the Square event, got the word
out about what the down town had to offer.
Its a huge event and its denitely a family event,
Orlando said. A lot of folks here have never been to
downtown Leonardtown so it brings lots of folks in to
explore.
Folks will come back.
For older visitors there will be demonstrations pro-
vided by the countys Department of Aging and Human
Services of tai chi, zumba and pickle ball sports.
The focus of the day, the Running of the Balls at 7p.m.,
allows visitors to adopt a ball $5 for one ball and $20
for ve balls that will be dumped and rolled en masse
down the Fenwick Street hill to nd there way about 350
feet to the bottom.
The rst 20 balls out of about 6,000 will be eli-
gible to win prizes with the rst ball winning $1,500.
The remaining 19 will be eligible for cash and non-cash
prizes.
The Running of the Balls helps raise funds for the Ro-
tary Clubs of Leonardtown and Lexington Park.
The proceeds from the event will help fund Rotary ac-
tivities locally and internationally which includes teacher
scholarships, providing clean drinking water to needy
communities around the globe and the ght against the
crippling disease, polio.
The beach party bash is hosted by the town government
and the Leonardtown Business Association; sponsors in-
clude the College of Southern Maryland, Quality Built
Homes, Winegardner Automotive, Marrick Homes, Olde
Towne Pub, Boothes Heating and Air Conditioning, the

sometimes even weekends to enjoy na-
ture and have taken many beautiful pic-
tures. Some of these are currently hang-
ing in Kent Hall at St. Marys College.
She also enjoyed gathering informa-
tion on her family history. She went to
many websites and even combed grave-
yards trying to complete the family tree.
Her other loves were crocheting, going
to the movies, and spending time with
her pets.

Great Mills, MD; son, Robert D. Schol-
ten of Milton, FL; daughter Rachel N.

Solomons Native Keeps Navy Wing Flying

Air Station Whidbey Island, the pre-
mier naval air installation in the Pa-
cic Northwest region.
Lt. Allison Haas is a pilot serving
with Commander, Patrol and Recon-
naissance Wing 10. She ies the P-3C
Orion, which is being phased out by
the new P-8A Poseidon. The P3s mis-
sion is to hunt for submarines.
Flying the Pacic Northwest,
theres nothing like it, said Haas. The
views and mountains are fantastic.
According to Navy ofcials, Wing
10 has continued to y combat mis-
sions in direct support of the troops
on the ground and delivered tradi-
tional maritime capabilities, real-
time intelligence, surveillance and
reconnaissance.
Beginning in the 1960s, the
P-3C Orion, a land-based, long-
range anti-submarine warfare pa-
trol aircraft, replaced the P-2V
Neptune eet. After 50 years of faith-
ful service and the 50th anniversary of
Maritime Patrol and Reconnaissance
and reconnaissance missions, Navy of-
cials explained.
Patrol and Reconnaissance Wing 10
mans, trains, and equips P-3 and P-8
squadrons to deploy anywhere, any-
time, said Capt. Rob Patrick, Com-
modore of Patrol and Reconnaissance
Wing 10 at Naval Air Station Whid-
bey Island. This is critically impor-
tant as we are the eyes and the ears
of our national defense, putting pres-
sure on strategic locations around the
world. Our sailors are the single big-
gest asymmetric advantage that allows
us to succeed at our missions. Without
their agility and expertise, we would
not be able to do what we do.
Haas is part of a crew striving to be
the best Naval Aviation Wing in the
United States, according to Navy Of-
cials. Their mission is to safely build
and maintain a team of sailors capable
of conducting prompt and sustained
combat operations.
Its not easy ying an older aircraft
like we do, Haas said. Were not the
shiny new P-8, were the legacy P-3.
The coolest thing is how our mainte-
nance crews accomplish the mission
that we do with 50-year-old planes.
According to Navy ofcials, the
Navy continues to meet milestone after
milestone on this world-class mission
and is providing an aircraft with supe-
rior capabilities to the men and wom-
en in uniform that will have a lasting
legacy promoting a global maritime
strategy.
My grandfather and father served
in the Navy, so I looked up to them and
wanted to follow in their footsteps,
Haas added. Its been quite a journey.

Thursday, August 3, 2017
Last week, acquitted double-murderer
and convicted armed robber O.J. Simpson
appeared before a 4-person parole board
in Nevada. Hed spent nine years in prison
for participating in the armed robbery of
a group of sports memorabilia collectors
who, he claimed, had stolen game foot-
balls, photographs and other sports col-
lectibles that were rightfully his. He was
convicted of kidnapping, conspiracy to
commit a crime, and assault for the same
incident, and received 9-33 years for
thecrimes.
In a strange coincidence, on the same
day thirteen years earlier, hed been ac-
quitted of murdering his former wife, Ni-
cole Brown, and her acquaintance, Ron
Goldman.
During the disturbingly light-hearted
parole hearing, which aired live on CNN
and other news programs, O.J. and the
parole officers joked about a variety of
things, none of them particularly hilarious
(for instance, hes 70 but an officer mis-
takenly said he was 90, earning a chuckle
from the friendly room). You could see
just how hed smoothed over the many
police call-outs to his home, years before,
when his wife called, terrified, because
hed beaten or stalked or choked her.
You never do anything, she said, time
after time, as O.J. casually worked the
room each time, convincing the police

that it was a private family matter, or just
a minor argument, not worth making a
fuss over. On occasion, hed be asked for
a photo or his autograph, and then hed
usher the police out the door, all regretful
smiles about having wasted their time.
It was more of the same last week
at the parole hearing. What struck me
most forcefully was a comment that he
made that seemed to go unnoticed by the
paroleofficers.
Ive basically spent a conflict-free
life, Simpson claimed earnestly, as he
outlined for the parole board all the rea-
sons he should be released. He also noted
that hed taken an anger management class
in prison, but didnt really see that his
victim was affected by [the crime]. I
suspect the second remark was the most
truthful thing he said all day.
In case youve forgotten, Simpson has
a long history of domestic and dating vio-
lence with various women. In January of
1989 he sent his then-wife, Nicole, to the
hospital with a black eye, cuts and bruises,
and a hand imprint on her neck. On that
occasion, when she begged the police to
arrest him, he was instead allowed to get
into his Bentley and speed off, unpursued
(he later pleaded no contest to the assault,
the only domestic instance which was ever
pursued to the point of a criminal record.
On the eight prior occasions, he was al-

Man About Town
lowed to joke and backslap and downplay
his way out of any sort of responsibility).
And lest anyone think that Simpsons
narrow escape on a murder conviction
made him change his ways, on at least
four occasionsafter his 1994 murder
acquittalthe police were called out to
the Miami home he shared with his on-
and-off-again girlfriend, Christie Prody,
followingassaults.
So, sureIll bet he doesnt really see
that his victims are affected by his behav-
ior. After a dozen or more increasingly
desperate pleas for protection remained in
the shadows made by the bright glare of
his fame and fortune, he must have come
to believe that everyone sees things as he
does: that the women are a little bit crazy,
that what goes on between a man and his
wife is a private matter, that she provoked
him, and whats a man to do when he gets
pushed too far?
As the parole board considered his re-
quest, chuckling at this comment and that,
they werent allowed to consider the mur-
der; after all, hed been acquitted. But even
as you set that aside, you cant ignore, you
cant forget, the lifetime of violence, par-
ticularly the brutality toward women. This
is a man who uses guns to settle disputes,
a man who assaults another man who has
the gall to point out to Simpson that he
blew through a stop-signand this a man

who has punched and kicked and beaten
and choked his way through adult life.
But, instead of the parole board recog-
nizing the conflict-free contention for
what it was, a dangerous belief created
by a society that all too often continues
to support the belief that violence against
women just doesnt count, their only re-
sponse was silence.
In that hearing room, violence against
women was once again brushed aside,
as if it is of so little consequence that it
doesnt deserve a mention, or a calling
out, or even an appalled expression on
the faces of the four individuals deciding
whether Simpson poses a threat to society.
Thats what was most troubling about
the statement: not that he said it, or even
that he believes it. After his three decades
of relationships that involved repeated
instances of violence, and at least 12 law
enforcement and judicial responses that
resulted in nothing more than a few self-
ies and autographs, it wasnt a surprise at
all to see that Simpson still believes hes
led a conflict-free life, that Simpson still
believes hes a good guy.
What I dont get is how anyone else can.

Clements Cuties
On The Ball Again I am very
excited and
hopeful once
again to spread
the word about
the upcom-
ing Clements
Cuties softball
game on Sat-
urday the 12th
at Cryers Back
Road Inn. This
year will be a
little different
for us since my
husband Robert
will be joining
the actual game
and transforming himself from a regular
Over 40 softball player into Rockin Ro-
berta with a sky high beehive. I have been
the lucky recipient of a private viewing of
his transformation, and am enjoying shar-
ing my make-up with him. My husband says
that I am having entirely too much fun with
this. But we both know that behind all the
fun and dress-up is a very serious cause to
support in raising funds each year to help a
child and their family with the life-changing
effects of cancer.
There are so many good people from all
over the county involved in the Clements
Cuties fundraising efforts to help aware-
ness for childhood cancer, but without the
leadership, organization, hard work, and to-
tal sweat, heart, and soul of Harry and Deb
Pool, Ricky and Elise Ryce, and Greg and
Jeppa Thornburg, the Clements Cuties game
and events wouldnt raise nearly enough of
the much-needed funds to help the recipients
($16,000 last year to help the Scully family
with additional expenses and a family trip to
Disneyworld).
Since I cant explain about the recipient
of this years funds, and the addition of the
three Nolan Scully Memorial Scholarship
Funds any better than is written on the flyer
by Ricky Ryce, I will just copy it here: Bud-
weiser (Guy Distributing Co.) & Cryers
Back Road Inn join together in supporting
The Clements Cuties on Saturday August
12th at Cryers Back Road Inn. The excite-
ment starts at 2:30 p.m. with a play in game
from the Mens League followed by the
arrival of the Clements Cuties at 4:00 pm.
After the pregame activities the Clements
Cuties will play the Womens Softball Over
30 all-stars. Food, drinks, raffles and a si-
lent auction along with new faces, twists and
even more surprises all for the price of dona-
tions. Drivin Muzzywill be performing on
the BRI-Pavilion stage following the game.
All proceeds from this years event will
go to the following: Shelbie Gardiner an 18
The County Times
year old lady who resides along with her par-
ents Mike & Tracie Gardiner in Mechanic-
sville. Shelbie, their only child, at 2-3 years
old was diagnosed with both migraines and
JRA (Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis). She
also suffered from allergies and asthma as a
result from all she had to be home schooled
in elementary and middle school. She was
unable to spend a lot of time outdoors and
to play sports and spent much of her time
indoors. She was however able to attend
Chopticon High School where she is a re-
cent graduate. Her hobbies include arts &
crafts, caring and playing with children and
animals, fishing, but her favorite passion is
make up. Shelbie unfortunately in April was
diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma, with
an Intrathoracic Mass (her left neck lymph
nodes, lymph nodes in her chest are infect-
ed with the mass attached to the top of her
heart, the mass is about 1/3 size of her chest
and same size as her heart. She is currently
receiving treatment from Johns Hopkins
to battle this disease, and she is currently
spending 3-5 days every other week at Hop-
kins for treatment with her mother there be-
side her. Her mother Tracie has had to take
a leave of absence from her nursing career
to care for Shelbie. With that said it has put
the family in a financial bind due to only one
income. We are asking the community for
much support as the Clements Cuties intend
to help the family financially but send Shel-
bie, her mom and dad to Disney World for
a much needed break when its possible for
them to go.
Our second donation is as follows: the
Clements cuties are setting up The Nolan
Scully Memorial Scholarship Fund for Pub-
lic Service to provide three scholarships to
all three local high schools in memory of
Nolan Scully. Nolan touched many people
in many ways not only in this community
but across the country. We want to continue
his legacy and dedication to public service
with these scholarships to help young people
achieve their goals. With this said we are
asking the community to support both of our
causes this year as a lot of you have in the
past, and are looking for individual Cuties
sponsors, donations for silent auction tables
and any donations in general, but mostly
come to the festivities Aug. 12th to join us in
a fun filled day and help us with these great
causes. Thanks everyone for your support.

Wanderings of an aimless mind
Bushwood Lodge, 7th District, Courtesy, John Lewis
When Robert Slye married Susanna
Gerard, her father gave them about 829
acres of land, part of which Robert
named Bushwood after Slyes home
town in England.
Bushwood is a hamlet in Warwick-
shire [England], located three miles
north of Henley in Arden and a mile
west of the M40 motorway. There is
no village centre as such because all
the buildings in the hamlet are spread
out so widely. It is named after the
wood, Bush Wood, that runs through
the centre of the area. The Stratford-
on-Avon Canal runs along the eastern
edge of the settlement. Bushwood is a
corruption of byssopswode or Bish-
ops Wood, which refers to its former
ownership by the bishops of Worcester,
dating back to the 9th century.
Prior to 1764 Philip Key had acquired
Bushwood and devised it to his son
Thomas Key, after my wifes death or
remarriage, the land where I live called
Bushwood Lodge. Thomas Key died
in March of 1772. As the only child of
Thomas Key, Edmund Key, just one
year old, inherited his fathers estate.
His mother, Jane Llewellen, married
in short order, John Briscoe III (son of
John Briscoe, Jr. and Mary Hanson).
Philip Key, the nephew of Thomas
Key and 21 year-older first cousin of
the infant Edmund Key, took on the
administration of Thomas Keys es-
tate, legally, by 1777 when he filed
suit against Samuel Briscoe (brother
of John Briscoe III) for payment for
land, Digges Baltimore Gift, part of
Thomas Keys estate. Thomas Key died
insolvent in terms of ready assets, but
because of the restrictions of laws of
Thursday, August 3, 2017
inheritance, Edmund Key inherited
Bushwood and the other real estate
and money to which Thomas Key was
heir, not subject to the indebtedness
of Thomas Key. This law suit would
drag on for 30 long years.
Judge Edmund Key was appoint-
ed Registrar of Wills in St. Marys
County 1805 but resigned to accept
the position of Associate Judge in
the 1st Judicial District, including St.
Marys, Charles, and Prince Georges
counties beginning with the January
1806 term, where he served until 1852,
age 81. In 1814 he married Margaret
JohnsMackall.
Judge Edmund Key went broke in
the economic collapse of 1818 and de-
clared insolvency in 1822. He spent
the next 25 years paying off creditors
though the law did not require him to
do so. That is why his sons all moved
west eventually settling in Harrison
County, TX.
Judge Keys insolvency left him and
his family with necessary wearing
apparel and necessary bedding. No
horse, wagon, house, no books. But,
the family had books in Texas inscribed
by Roger B. Taney, Anna Taney, Fran-
cis Scott Key, Reverdy Johnson and
his cousin Philip Key, and others, who
gave books to them during their tough
years. Someone loaned him a horse
and buggy.
Edmund Key (grandson of Judge Ed-
mund Key) named their farm in Texas
Bushwood Farm, which until recent-
ly, at least, was still in the ownership
of the Key family.
Thanks to Paul Wood of Marshall,
Texas for all of his help.
