St. Marys Man Pleads Guilty to
Anne Arundel Murders
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
Christopher Scheibe, 29, of Mechanic-
sville has pleaded guilty in Anne Arun-
del County to murdering two women
over a four-year period.
The murders Scheibe committed took
place in Annapolis last May with the
rst murder occurring in Pasadena back
on 2012.
Mr. Scheibe preyed on innocent and
vulnerable young women. His utter dis-
regard for human life is reprehensible.
said Anne Arundel County States At-
torney Wes Adams. I am grateful to the
Anne Arundel County Police Depart-
ment for conducting an extensive and
thorough investigation that produced
the evidence we needed to bring Mr.
Scheibe to justice for these senseless
and vicious murders.
Scheibe was rst arrested last year af-
ter police found the body of Holly Smith,
with 27 stabbing and cutting wounds.
Forensic examiners determined that
the body had been decomposing for
several days before May 31st. Police
located a vehicle that had blood and
DNA inside of it parked in the lot of the
industrial complex where her body was
found, according to information from
the Anne Arundel County States Attor-
neys Ofce.
The evidence located inside of the
vehicle was later determined to be that
of the victim and Scheibe, according to
prosecutors.
State Allows Sewer Connections
for St. Clements Shores
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
After about two years of negotiating
between the county and the Maryland De-
partment of the Environment (MDE), the
state has consented to allow ve proper-
ties with failing septic systems to hookup
to the St. Clements Shores Waste Water
Treatment Plant located in Compton.
In a letter to Dewberry Consultants
LLC, the rm the county has employed
to work with the state, environmental of-
cials also said the state would suspend any
nes for any overows that occurred that
were not egregious.
Ching-Tzone Tien, deputy program
manager for wastewater permits with the
state, wrote that additional requests to
connect would have to be wait.
Approval of additional 29 connec-
tions is postponed [until] the completion
of the rapid inltration basin improvement
work at the treatment plant, stated Tien.
Given the relatively small additional ow
from the ve properties to be added, the
department does not believe it likely that
any future noncompliance would neces-
sarily be linked to these connections.

You never try to hide your history,
Eberley said.
According to Wikipedia, the on-

on March 17, 1777 in Calvert County,
Maryland, the son of Monica (Brooke)
and Michael Taney.[4] He was the sec-
ond son, and the third of seven children
(four sons and three daughters) born to a
slaveholding family of tobacco planters
in Calvert County, Maryland.
Taney was the fth Chief Justice of
the Supreme Court, holding that ofce
from 1836 until his death in 1864. He
delivered the majority opinion in Dred
Scott v. Sandford (1857), that ruled,
among other things, that African-Amer-
icans, having been considered inferior at
the time the United States Constitution
was drafted, were not part of the origi-
nal community of citizens and, whether
free or slave, could not be considered
citizens of the United States, which cre-
ated an uproar among abolitionists and
the free states of the northern U.S.

We want to be able to provide water

Planners Approve New Donut Shop
Donut Connection Will be Next to Walmart
By Dick Myers
Editor
The St. Marys County Planning
Commission has unanimously approved
a concept plan for a new Donut Connec-
tion next to Walmart in California. The
donut shop will be businessman Prahlad
Patels third in the area, along with Lex-
ington Park and Lusby.
The new donut shop will be a 5,476
square-foot, two-story building directly
behind a two-story ofce building at
22811 Three Notch Road. The ofce
building, which is also owned by Patels
company, Morning Dove, LLC, will
have its real estate and doctors ofces
remaining untouched.
The new Donut Connection will have
a drive-in window and will be on the
rst oor of the two-story building. Pa-
tel is not sure what will be on the sec-
ond oor. A parking lot will be located
between the two buildings and parking
will be shared by them. A shed to the
rear of the almost-one-acre property
will be removed.
The plan calls for a 30-foot buffer
with the Three Notch Trail to the rear of
the property.
Patel has been in Southern Maryland
301-475-2699 for more than 20 years and has turned a
small donut shop, originally a Mr. Donut

includes not only the three donut shops
and the ofce building, but also two new
hotels, Comfort Inn and Suites in Lex-

in California.
Patel is proud of the product presented
by Donut Connection. He said their do-
nuts are better than others because they
are made from scratch and not frozen
and heated.
Patel has a family business, with his
wife Anandi, and son and daughter-in-
law Upesh and Vidya also involved in
the operation.
The Donut Connection in California
will have entrances off the access road
into Walmart and off Route 235 with a
shared entrance for the ofce building
and a bank. The new donut shop will be
slightly larger than the one in Lexington
Park. The shop also will sell ice cream,
as do his other two locations.
The project was delayed, according
to the staff report by the Ofce of Land
Use and Growth Management, when it
was learned that Walmart owned part of
the entrance road into their super store.
An easement was created to allow an
entrance/exit off that access road for the
new donut shop.

Women Claim NAVAIR Employee
Spied on Them
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
Four women who work at Patuxent Riv-
er Naval Air Station have filed for protec-
tive orders against a NAVAIR employee
they claim placed miniature cameras un-
der their desks to spy on them while on the
job.
In some of the protective orders, the
women claim they were also photographed
by Daniel Fasci, 56, of Great Mills as they
left work.
One of the petitioners alleged in her pro-
tective order, filed in St. Marys County
District Court Aug. 1, that Fasci admitted
to her that he had placed the camera under
her desk once the unit had been found.
The first petitioner claimed that Fasci
had engaged in this activity back in July.
He also listed the names of other fe-
males he mounted the cameras under their
desks, the petition read. I was listed as
one of the victims.
Another alleged victim claimed that:
He confessed to taking pictures and
videos of me and three other girls as well
without our consent or knowledge.

The Tackle Box Fishing Report
By Ken and Linda Lamb
Contributing Writers
Great fishing all week in and out of
rain showers.
Cobia are downright plentiful on
the Middle Grounds and south to
Tangier and Smith Point. The further
south you go the more fish and bigger
fish. Chummers using ground ale-
wives and live eels are doing well in
this landmark year for the big fish.
Bottom fishing is excellent with
spot, perch, and hardhead (croaker)
most everywhere. These fish that make
great table fare can be caught from the
beach as well as boat. The key is to
fish around the high tides moving in or

out. A 34-inch rockfish was caught off
the Point Lookout Pier last week.
Blues and Spanish mackerel are in
the bay for trollers using small eels
and Drone or Clarke spoons on plan-
ers. Good eating and great fun.
Rockfish are now breaking all over
with small fish on the top and keepers
on the bottom. Jiggers and trollers do
well; lure casters using top water pop-
pers can get explosive strikes at day-
break around structure on high tides.
Catfish are loving cooler tempera-
tures and bottom fishermen using cut
alewife are landing some really big
ones at Morgantown in the Potomac
and Chalk Point in the Patuxent.
Leroy Granby fished from Solomons Pier and loaded up on spot, croaker and a big rockfish.

Jason Covert Prevails in
Potomac Thriller
York Haven Pennsylvanias Jason
Covert took top honors in last Friday
nights 35-lap Ernie Jones Memorial
Late Model event which also served as
round three of the Battle of the Bay
mini series. The win for Covert, worth
$3022, was hid third of the season at the
track and it came in his trusty Cameron/
Mann owned Rocket XR-1 no.72.
The redraw placed Jason Covert and
Kyle Hardy on the front row for the start
of the event with Hardy vaulting into
the race lead as the field drove off turn
two. Hardy would lead the first 9 circuits
before Covert took the top spot on the
following tour. Hardy battled back to
retake the race lead on the 14th lap as
he and Covert raced door to door until
Covert was able to regain the lead on
the 28th lap. Eventual runner up Dale
Hollidge took second from Hardy on
lap 29, but was no match for Covert as
he took the checkered flag by three car
lengths at the finish for his 13th career
Potomac Late Model feature win. That
was one of the most fun races I have run
in my entire career. Covert stated post
race. Kyle got us at the start, but once
we settled in and put some pressure on
him, I think his tires gave up and we
were able to get the lead back. Covert
had high praise for the racy Potomac
surface. The track was in great shape
tonight. Covert stated. The last few
races weve run here the track was dry
and one lane, but you could race all over
it here tonight. Hardy held tough for
third with Jamie Lathroum and Steven
Axtell Jr. rounding out the top-five.
In the 20-lap Limited Late Model
headliner, former track champion Kyle
Lear, drove to his 3rd win of the season
aboard his Rocket XR-1 no.151. The
event was a milestone in Lears career
as the win would be the 50th overall
career feature score for the Severna Park
Maryland driver. This is a big win for
our team. Lear stated in victory lane
after his 21st career win in the division
Ive had so many good people help me
along the way and I couldnt have done
it without them. Tyler Emory was
second for the third race in a row with
Brandon Long, Billy Tucker and Kurt
Zimmerman trailing at the finish.
Defending track champion Logan
Roberson collected his 4th win of the
season in the 20-lap RUSH Crate Late
Model main. Roberson took the top
spot from Sparky White on the 8th lap
and would then steer his Rocket XR-1
no.17R to his 9th career Potomac feature
win, tying him with Darin Henderson
for first on the all-time win chart.
Sparky was fast, but I had to try and
get around him as quick as I could.
Said Roberson. The track was so racy

tonight, but once we got in clean air,
this car was just about perfect. Ninth
starting Jamie Sutphin was second with
Darren Alvey, Chuck Bowie and Matt
Glanden completing the top-five.
In support class action, Ed Pope Jr.
took his 2nd win of the season in the 16-
lap Street Stock feature, Jonathan Raley

The Summer Scholars Program at the
College of Southern Maryland (CSM)
gives high-achieving high school stu-
dents the chance to take an in-depth
look at an area of interest, such as cy-
bersecurity, music or robotics. By com-
pleting the three weeks of college-level
study, the students also get a taste of the
college experience while earning three
college credits.
The purpose is to get students into
their field of study while they are in high
school, said CSM Student Engagement
Coordinator Nancy Ingwalson, coordi-
nator of the Summer Scholars Program.
CSM just completed the inaugural
year of the Summer Scholars Program,
with nine students completing the Cy-
bersecurity Academy, which ran from
July 10 to 27. The course is going well,
Inwalson said. The students are excited
about it.
Participants attended a computer se-
curity class (ITS-2090) taught by CSM
Professor Wendy Hayes along with stu-
dent assistant, Lakisha Ferebee. In ad-
dition, a variety of extended learning
activities and interactive games were
built into the schedule. Guest speakers
worked with the students on dealing
with stress in college, college readiness
and career counseling. The students also
took a field trip to the Goddard Space
Flight Center in Greenbelt and the Na-
tional Cryptological Museum in An-
napolis Junction.
I am exceptionally impressed by
these students, their ability to think,
their ability to write, Hayes said. This
is a sophomore-level course in college
These students are really brilliant.
Two brothers, Clayton Crownover,
16, and Garrett Crownover, 15, of Me-
chanicsville went through the Summer
Scholars Program together.
Clayton Crownover, a rising junior
at the GMHS STEM Academy who is
dual-enrolled at CSM, said the program
helped him as he considers his future.
I am kind of on the fence between en-
gineering or cybersecurity. This camp
really helped clarify, he said. It was

definitely a lot of material. But it was
manageable. I think its a pretty good
program.
His brother, a rising sophomore at the
GMHS STEM academy, is currently
planning to major in chemical engi-
neering. I was thinking of going here
for two years and then transferring to a
college that supports these credentials,
Garrett Crownover said. Cybersecu-
rity is always a good backup option if
I want to change my major. I liked the
program a lot.
Brandon Durham, 18, of Waldorf
graduated this June from North Point
High School and will be attending CSM
in the fall semester, where he plans to
major in cybersecurity. Participation in
the Summer Scholars Program gave him
early exposure to a program he is al-
ready committed to. I heard that it was
a good way to learn for the Security+
exam, Durham said. Content-wise, its
everything. Its really good It is time-
intensive, and it is a lot of work.
CSM Director of Admissions Bri-
an Hammond noted that the Summer
Scholars Program is designed to better
prepare high school students for the next
educational step. The program blends
small, interactive, on-campus classes
with extended learning activities de-
signed to prepare the student for college
success, Hammond said.
To apply for the CSM Summer Schol-
ars Program, students must complete
and submit the online application and
provide their high school transcript and
a letter of recommendation from a high
school teacher. An academic average of
3.0 or better is required. Admission is
competitive and contingent upon space
availability.
Were definitely going to be doing
this again next year, Ingwalson said.
Three academies will be offered Ro-
botics, Cybersecurity and American
Music. For information on CSMs Sum-
mer Scholars Program, visit csmd.edu/

Leading Recreation & Parks
Arthur Sheppard Returns as New Director of Recreation & Parks
Arthur Sheppard Photo by Frank Marquart to join the community
By Zach Hill
Contributing Writer
In a surprising turn of events, Arthur Sheppard
was called upon from St. Marys County Commis-
sioners and Recreation back in April to assume the
role as Interim Director for the department after re-
tiring six years ago.
However, it wasnt until July 25th that Sheppard
stepped up into the official role of Director for Parks
and Recreation.
I began my career here in 1978 with Recreation
and Parks full-time, Sheppard said. I had a 33 year
career here, I was a recreation division manager, and
I retired in June 2011 and I was very fortunate.
Sheppard came to St. Marys County back in 1957
with his father being active duty military, and has
enjoyed living here most all his life.
He attended Great Mills High School and then
went to attend St. Marys College of Maryland.
Naturally, I first started out as a coach and volun-
teer (with Parks and Recreation) when I was 19 or 20
part-time or working various programs in the sum-
mer. Sheppard said. When I first started in 78,
full-time, I was a recreation coordinator so those are
your programmers that ran the facilities in the pro-
grams with the part-time people, making sure it all
happens.
After working in that position for about 13 years,
in the early 90s Sheppard would move up the ranks
into the role of recreation division manager.
This was the oversight of all of the recreation
programs and then I would make sure the work
was getting done through all of the recreation co-

in and asked if I would
take over for an interim
period oftime.
Now, as the direc-
tor, Sheppard has more
parts to his job than
ever before, however he
also has the opportunity
at a stronger level than
everbefore.
(There are) several facets of the directors posi-
tion but the greatest one includes just being a part of
the team, Sheppard said. Working with the elected
officials, the County Commissioners, the citizens
and the staff so that we can create a department that
everyone is very proud of and proud to be a part of.
As director, Sheppard is the
main person overseeing. Excel-
lence is provided by all of the
county parks, all of the recreation
activities in the county, the mu-
seum division, and the Wicomico
Golf Course.
On top of that, he also oversees
all of the capital projects which
involve any type of land acquisi-
tion and park development done
by the department.
However, Sheppards goals for
serving as the director are crucial
to the future and prosperity of the
department as they continue to
grow evenlarger.
We are so big now in our parks
department that we have three wa-
terfront parks, 128 athletic fields
and 13 public landings, Sheppard
said. I want to make sure that our
management system is current
enough so that we can manage all
of that effectively enough for our
citizens.
Another major goal for Shep- Arthur Sheppard talks about his future plans after becoming Director of St. Marys County

Havre de Grace,
MD to Clayton
Richard and Elea-
nor Piercy Lee of
Kitty Hawk, NC.
On December 31, 1983, Jeff married his
beloved high school sweetheart, Pamela
Perkins Lee in Chestereld, VA. Together
they celebrated over 33 wonderful years of
marriage, and he was deeply loved by his
two children; Maddy and Andrew. Forever
dedicated to his country, Jeff devoted over
30 years of service as an engineer for the
Department of Defense and United States
Navy. He was a loyal husband and father,
a devoted and loving son, and the truest of
friends. Family was his greatest love and
he enjoyed spending as much time as pos-
sible with them, from horseback riding,
to wrestling, to bird watching. After fam-
ily, Jeffs next greatest love was the ocean
blue, inspiring erce passions of boating
and shing, and a career with the Navy.
Jeff was also a great entertainer, where
he captivated family and friends with his
many delicious meals, and his witty sense
of humor.
In addition to his parents, beloved wife,

Maryland Lighthouse Another Successful

Challenge Scheduled
for September
One of the missions of the Chesa-
peake Chapter of the United States
Lighthouse Society is to educate, in-
form and entertain those who are in-
terested in Chesapeake Bay area light-
houses. On the weekend of September
16 and 17, 2017, in partnership with
the lighthouse organizations across
the state, the Chapter will do just that.
Participants who visit participating
lighthouses during the allotted hours
will receive a complimentary souvenir
of that lighthouse. It is not necessary
to visit all the lighthouses to partici-
pate and they can be visited in any or-
der. Those who score a perfect ten by
visiting all the lighthouse attractions
will receive an additional souvenir
proclaiming that theyve seen the
lights! For participants added plea-
sure, and to really put the challenge
in the event, organizers are offering
three BONUS lights - Sandy Point
Shoal (to be viewed off shore from
one of Marylands most popular state
parks), the Blackistone Lighthouse
Replica at the site of Marylands birth-
place, St. Clements Island, and Mill-
ers Island Lighthouse to be viewed
from the Dock of the Bay Restaurant
in Sparrows Point.
Ridge Carnival
There will also be an add-on Bo-
nus Cruise aboard Sawyers Charters,
departing from Marylands Eastern
Shore to see some of the Bays more
elusive lighthouses, and an early bird
special on Friday, September 18, which
includes all of the Eastern Shore at-
tractions, for those who want to jump-
start their Challenge adventure.
Lighthouses are an important aspect
of our states maritime heritage and re-
main treasured keepsakes of a by-gone
era. Participants will nd these mag-
nicent structures and the history sur-
rounding them waters edge at some of
the most scenic destinations statewide.

By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
Public school systems and health de-
partments in both St. Marys and Calvert
counties are offering parents the chance
to update their childrens vaccination re-
cords before they go back to school with
free clinics.
The St. Marys County Health De-
partment will hold their free clinic Aug.
24 at the main facility located on 21580
Peabody Street in Leonardtown; no ap-
pointments are necessary and the immu-
nizations are available for newborns all
the way up to 18 years of age.
Health professionals will make immu-
nizations available for measles, mumps
and rubella as well as tetanus, diphthe-
ria, whooping cough and meningococ-
cal strains.
Vaccines will also be available for hu-
man papillomavirus (HPV) and chick-
enpox (Varicella).
The vaccinations dont just make
sense medically, said Jane Lawing, pro-
gram supervisor of the Health Clinic of
the health department, but they are re-

The Life in a Photo
I love old photographs. I love his-
tory; anybodys history. For some reason
when an old photograph or photographs
come my way, I am desperate to know
everything about the person or people in
the photos. There I am with magnifying
glass attempting to discover hidden looks
or meanings in the photo, searching for
telling facial expressions or stances with
respect to others in the photo. And there
is always the background in photos, look-
ing at what people lived with and used
on a daily basis what we now consider
vintage or antique. This is why I gradu-
ally fell in to the roll of Surrattsville High
School archivist and why nearly all of our
high schools memorabilia has come in to
my possession from 1895 to the present.
It is fascinating to me to see the long
family histories that attend a school for
generations, and as the archivist I am
fortunate to see in photos and words this
lineage. Those of you who grew up here
in St. Marys County must be used to see-
ing the same family names over time in
the schools and towns. In Prince Georges
County there was/is also a large group of
old family names that have populated the
county, but we also had people moving to-
wards the Washington, DC area for jobs
from up north or from down south. Our
family came from both sides to find work
in DC. My mothers father left New Jersey
to come to Washington for a top mechan-
ics job, and my fathers mother left rural
Kentucky with her philandering Navy
husband who soon left her in the DC area
with three small boys to raise. She ended
up doing all right and worked at the Bu-
reau of Engraving until retirement. And
photos, like in all families document this
progression of life.
It is also fascinating to see as the school
grew from a tiny one room school house
to a larger school on the hill, which in
The County Times
turn outgrew itself with the advent of the
baby boomers. The new school was then
built in the early 60s to accommodate this
growth. When I was first researching Sur-
rattsville history 17 years ago when stay-
ing in Clinton while my mother was dy-
ing, I first just collected this overwhelm-
ing amount of memorabilia, and then later
started noticing the growth and demo-
graphic and racial changes throughout the
years. At first in the pre-60s class photos
you see all the family names you know
and then gradually you say, Well, where
are all the African American children like
I went to school with? Something I took
for granted and enjoyed the friendships
created through my school years. I found
out through research at the Surratt House
and at the Clinton Library that some of
the African American students even from
down here (primarily in the Northern end
of the county) made their way to all black
schools in southern PG County. All this
history intrigues me and makes me want
to learn more.
Many of Surrattsvilles yearbooks from
1928 on are in my possession or have start-
ed to be scanned in my computer for other
alumni to enjoy. Many of those families
migrated to the three southern counties
to live on the water and have a less traf-
fic-filled life well maybe not anymore.
And many local families of Surrattsville/
Clinton descent find me and let me have or
use their memorabilia. As is the case with
a 1945 Surrattsville High School year-
book, entrusted to me temporarily to scan
and add to the historical photo archive of
my alma mater. Yesterday I found myself
looking at the small graduating class and
wondering what happened to the Class of
45. I am sure many are still with us. I de-
cided to Google some of the mens names
and see what popped up (As you know it is
harder to trach the women). I was surprise
to find many detailed obituaries or articles
with amazing life stories. One became
an honored Navy Seal with books in his
name, another became a world-renowned
Paleontologist, and another much-loved
Southern Maryland firefighter. And even
our own Capt. Bill Sonntag, the wood-
carver and chain saw artist, was among
that class. I am not done researching yet,
but I will keep looking for the life in each
photo.

Pete Himmelheber, in response to
the article published on August 3,
provided the following information
onBushwood and Bushwood Lodge.
Pete is the expert in the early land re-
cords of St. Marys County and I cer-
tainly defer to him.
On 26-Jan-1654/55 a part of St.
Clements Manor called Bushwood or
White Poynt, 1000-acres, by indenture
Hath given granted and Enifeoffed
by Thomas Gerrard to his son-in-law
Robert Slye. {AM:49:573}.
The metes and bounds given are as
shown and ran from the Wiccomico
River northeast up to the south side of
Tomokokin run. The Tomokokin run was
the upper bound of St. Clements Manor
which was within St Clements Hundred.
Bushwood, 1000-acres by itself does
not show up in the early rent rolls be-
cause it was included within St Clem-
ents Manor.
Bushwood Lodge, 604-acres was sur-
veyed March 1704/05{PA:DD#05:182}
and patented 20 May 1705 {PA:WD:437}
to Gerrard Slye*.
The survey places this tract northeast
of the Tomokokin run as shown which is
outside of St Clements Manor but was
in St Clements Hundred.
*This would have been Gerard Slye,
Jr. (1679-1733), son of Gerard, Sr. (1654-
1703) and Jane Saunders who came
to Maryland about 1674 with Lady
Baltimore.
On June 25, 1722 depositions were
taken to prove the birth and lineage of
Thursday, August 17, 2017
Gerard Slye of St. Marys County be-
ing the son and heir of Capt. Gerard
Slye and Jane Saunders of St. Marys
County, sometime of Great Britain.
Jane Saunders came to MD about 40 or
50 years ago with the then Lady Balti-
more and soon afterwards married Capt.
Gerard Slye. Dorothy Gale of Charles
Co., widow--age about 70 stated that
Mr. Massey, a priest and Mrs. Fran-
ces Rhodes (wife of Abraham Rhodes)
came on the same ship about 51 years
ago; she stated that Gerard Slye of Bush-
wood is the eldest son of Capt. Gerard
Slye and his wife Jane and that there was
another son named Charles Slye. Eliza-
beth Mahoney, widow--age about 58
stated that her mother, Susanna Cook-
sey, was nursemaid to Gerard Slye. Ed-
ward Field, age about 74 heard that Jane
Saunders was from Worcestershire,
England and that she asked her husband
to name a tract of land called Bush-
wood after the name of Pipers Hill
in memory of land in Worcestershire
where she claimed a right; Robert Slye
of Bushwood (father of Capt. Gerard
Slye) was married to Susanna--eldest
dau. of Thomas Gerard, Esq., formerly
of New Hall in Lancashire, England.
George Keith age, about 90. Deposition
of Major Nicholas Sewall, age about 67
(son of the Lady of the Lord Baltimore)
stated that Jane Saunders was big with
child and while in London asked Lord
Baltimore to be the godfather; she pro-
fessed to be of the Church of England
when first arriving in this county. De-
position of Mrs. Ann Duckworth, age
about 70. Deposition of Daniel Henley,
age about 70 stated that about 40 years
ago, Capt. Gerard Slye and his wife Jane
and their two sons went together to Eng-
land. (Maryland Chancery Records).
