COUNTY
St. Marys Largest And Only Locally Owned Newspaper
By Guy Leonard Staff Writer The county is moving ahead with a deal to purchase 172 acres of land just outside Leonardtown for about $5.3 million, but not without criticism from several community members over the way they engaged in the process. The Board of County Commissioners held a public meeting Dec. 24, different from a public hearing where comments from the citizens are expected, to announce their intention to buy the land, but residents where adamant about having their say.

I know that more than one commissioner felt it was a public hearing, Jarboe said of several quotes in the previous article referenced to Mattingly. Mattingly asked County Attorney Christy Holt-Chesser, whose office had negotiated the land deal, to explain the legal process since, he said, Maybe the word I used was the wrong word in reference to his quotes in The County Times article.

Commissioners Approve Land Sale, But Get An Earful

We need to hear from the public on this, Commissioner Lawrence D. Jarboe (R-Golden Beach) said. This stinks more than a whole bushel basket of rotten crabs. Commissioner President Francis Jack Russell (D-St. Georges Island) fired back saying: All the commissioners were on board with this until the eleventh hour. We have duly vetted this. Jarboe reopened his criticism of the deal as being unaffordable, while adding that he was under the impression that the meeting would in fact be a hearing open to public comment. Jarboe referenced an article in The County Times pub-

Local Deer Butcher Helps Feed The Hungry

By Guy Leonard Staff Writer As Mike McWilliams is busy about his shop on Indian Bridge Road processing deer harvested by local hunters, waiting in his freezer is a load of venison hamburger ready to be picked up by local churches and soup kitchens to feed the hungry. McWilliams has been a part of a program called Hunters and Farmers Feeding the Hungry (FHFH) for the past two years, but has participated in similar programs throughout the years through the state Department of Natural Resources to help the needy, too. I try to keep the meet in the county as much as possible, McWilliams said of the donations from hunters after hes processed them into burger. Whatever you can use hamburger in, you can use venison, too. And at places like St. Pauls United Methodist Church in Leonardtown, which runs a very active soup kitchen, they do. McWilliams has been their supplier recently and theyve used the meat to great affect, says one of their lead kitchen organizers. Last year we received more than 2,000 pounds of venison from him, said church member Ann Richards. Weve handed out a lot of it and more of them [soup kitchen clients] are getting used to it. While they actively hand the raw venison out, Richards said, they dont often advertise that some of the meals they provide are prepared with it. Richards said that the kitchen may just lay it out on the line soon to clients because theyve really seemed to like it so far, even though they may not have known exactly what they were eating. Some of the favorites at the soup kitchen include good, old fashioned chili and spaghetti, Richards said. Its a good thing that were harvesting some of these deer, Richards said. What were giving out is not road See Dear Meat page A-

Report Recommends Green Jobs For Marylands Economy

Andrea Shiell Staff Writer The Political Economy Research Institute at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, in conjunction with the Center for American Progress, has recently released a report detailing a Green Economic Recovery program that may have farreaching affects on Marylands economy, perhaps even allowing for investments retrofitting buildings for energy efficiency, expanding public transportation systems, and expanding production of wind and solar power. The proposed program would include an investment of $100 billion, creating an estimated two million jobs in the next two years, reducing unemployment to 4.4 percent, down from the 5.7 percent unemployment reported in July 200. The report outlines six infrastructure investment priorities; building retrofitting, mass transit and freight rail, smart grid electrical transmission systems, wind energy, solar energy, and advanced biofuels. For Maryland, the share of this green economic investment would be $1.9 billion, based on combining the states population and gross domestic product, creating close to 37,000 jobs, and reducing unemployment from 4.3 percent in July 200 to 3.1 percent in two years. Pete Johnson with the Maryland League of Conservation Voters said that the biggest chunk of approved funds would go to making buildings more energy efficient. A good portion of the 40 See Green Jobs page A-

veal, and more images were found by federal authorities in a leased storage unit in Charlotte Hall. Some of the images portrayed sex acts involving minors who were not yet 12 years old, according to federal authorities. Federal prosecutors also stated that Draper had received child pornography from a 12-year-old from Missouri he had made contact with using his computer. Draper pleaded guilty to the charges against him Dec. 22 and is set to be sentenced in federal court March 30 of 2009. Draper faces a mandatory five-year sentence for the crime but could receive as many as 20 years in prison with lifetime supervision upon his release.

Mechanicsville Man Pleads Guilty To Child Porn, Abuse Charges

By Guy Leonard Staff Writer Federal prosecutors with the U.S. Attorneys Office in Greenbelt allege that over a 10-year period, a Mechanicsville man both distributed child pornography and sexually abused two young boys. Ronald G. Draper, 37, pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court last week to distribution of images of child pornography and admitted to abusing the two boys. Federal authorities stated that the former Maryland Department of Natural Resources employee was also in possession of more than 600 images of child pornography up to September of 2007, the month of his arrest. According to a statement of facts from the U.S. Attorneys Office, Draper engaged in the sexual abuse of one minor boy from 1997 to 2003 on at least 20 separate occasions when the victim was between 8 and 13 years old in numerous locations, including South Carolina, Bolling Air Force Base in the District, and in Laurel and Pasadena in Maryland. Drapers second victim was abused between 1999 and 2007, federal statements of fact reveal about the case, at least three times. That victim was abused in Mechanicsville and South Carolina, factual statements said, when the victim was 11 and 14 years old. The numerous images of child pornography Draper had were stored in compact discs and in an E-mail account at his Mechanicsville home, fact statements reWatson had been arrested by a St. Marys sheriffs deputy just days before the shooting for allegedly violating a protective order commanding him to stay away from Dean and their children who were in her custody. Watson was arrested Nov. 20 but was released from incarceration the following day court records show. In that incident Watson was alleged to have called Deans home, once by himself and two more times by way of Watsons mother, charging documents alleged. The defendant called a fourth time that day via his personal cell phone, court papers stated, and is alleged to have told a witness to the case to tell Dean its just piece of paper, I can get to her if I want to get her. Watson maintained that he had attempted to call Dean to get clothing sizes for his children and the she had actually called him twice before.

Suspect In Dameron Slaying Formally Charged

Watson Now Incarcerated In County Jail
By Guy Leonard Staff Writer The local man detectives believe responsible for the death of his estranged girlfriends boyfriend back in November has been formally charged with second-degree murder and now resides in the county jail. Jeremiah Watson was formally charged by an arrest warrant with Christopher Pattys shooting death Dec. 27 while he was still in the hospital being treated for injuries sustained in his alleged attack on Tina Dean and Patty at her Dameron home on Premier Lane. Watson has also been charged with one count of attempted second-degree murder against Dean in what appears to have been a long running domestic dispute that escalated into greater violence. The defendant also faces two counts of first-degree assault and one count of first-degree burglary in connection with the incident. During the Nov. 24 incident law officers allege that Watson used a shovel to break into Deans home and then allegedly used the same shovel to begin beating both she and Patty, who was from Charles County. Dean is the mother of three children with Watson. Dean got away from her alleged assailant, an application by police for a statement of charges revealed, and retrieved a handgun. Dean shot Watson with the handgun, court papers state, but Watson was able to wrest control of the weapon away from her. Watson then allegedly shot Patty twice with the weapon and turned it on Dean, court papers reveal. Watson is alleged to have placed the gun to Deans head, court papers state, and pulled the trigger but the gun did not fire. Watson then fled the residence while Dean called 911, court papers state. Watson was found soon after by police near the house suffering from gunshot wounds. Patty and Dean were transported to St. Marys Hospital where Patty later died. Dean was treated and released.

Watson stated in charging documents that he did not realize calling Dean was a violation of

the protective order and agreed to turn himself in for the violation to the arresting deputy.

Top 10 New Years Resolutions - according to About.com

1) Spend more time with Family Recent polls show that more than 50% of Americans vow to appreciate loved ones and spend more time with family and friends this year. Work shouldnt always come first. 2) Better Fitness The evidence is in for fitness. Regular exercise has been associated with more health benefits than anything else know to man. Studies show that it reduces the risk of some cancers, increases longevity, helps achieve and maintain weight loss, enhances mood, lowers blood pressure, and even improves arthritis. 3) Tame the Bulge Over 66 percent of adult Americans are considered overweight or obese so it is not surprising to find that weight loss is one of the most popular New Years resolutions. Setting reasonable goals and staying focused are the two most important factors in sticking with a weight loss program. 4) Quit Smoking If you have resolved to make this the year that you stamp out your smoking habit, over- the-counter availability of nicotine replacement therapy now provides easier access to proven quitsmoking aids. Even if youve tried to quit before and failed, dont let it get you down. On average, smokers try about four times before they quit for good. 5) Enjoy Life More Given the hectic, stressful lifestyles of millions of Americans, it is no wonder that enjoying life more has become a popular resolution. Its an important step to a happier and healthier you. 6) Quit Drinking While many people use the New Year as an incentive to finally stop drinking, most are not equipped to make such a drastic lifestyle change all at once. Many heavy drinkers fail to quit cold turkey but do much better when they taper gradually, or even learn to moderate their drinking. 7) Get Out of Debt Was money a big source of stress in your life last year? Join millions of Americans who have resolved to spend this year getting a handle on their finances. 8) Learn Something New Have you vowed to make this year the year to learn something new? Perhaps you are considering a career change, want to learn a new language, or just how to fix your computer? Whether you take a course or read a book, you will find education to be one of the easiest, most motivating New Years resolutions to keep. 9) Help Others A popular, non-selfish New Years resolution, volunteerism can take many forms. Whether you choose to spend time helping out at your local library, mentoring a child, or building a house, there are many nonprofit volunteer organizations that could really use your help. 10) Get Organized On just about every New Year resolution top ten list, organization can be a very reasonable goal. Whether you want your home organized enough that you can invite someone over on a whim, or your office organized enough that you can find the stapler when you need it, look for tips and resources to help get you started on the way to a more organized life. Top 10 Tips for Keeping New Years Resolutions 1) Be Realistic The surest way to fall short of your goal is to make your goal unattainable. 2) Plan Ahead Dont make your resolutions on New Years Eve. If you wait until the last minute, it will be based on your mindset that particular day. 3) Outline Your Plan Decide how you will deal with the temptation to skip that exercise class or have one more cigarette. This could include calling on a friend to help, practicing positive thinking and selftalk, or reminding yourself how your bad habit affects you. 4) Make a Pro and Con List It may help to see a list of items on paper to keep your motivation strong. Develop this list over time, and ask others to contribute to it. Keep your list with you and refer to it when you need help keeping your resolve. 5) Talk About It Dont keep your resolution a secret. Tell friends and family members who will be there to support your resolve to change yourself for the better. The best case scenario is to find yourself a buddy who shares your New Years resolution and motivates each other. 6) Reward Yourself This doesnt mean that you can eat an entire box of chocolates if your resolution is to diet. Instead, celebrate your success by treating yourself to something that you enjoy that does not contradict your resolution.. 7) Track Your Progress Keep track of each small success you make toward reaching your larger goal. Short-term goals are easier to keep, and small accomplishments will help keep you motivated. 8) Dont Beat Yourself Up Obsessing over the occasional slip wont help you achieve your goal. Do the best you can each day, and take each day one at a time. 9) Stick To It Experts say it takes about 21 days for a new activity , such as exercise, to become a habit, and 6 months for it to become part of your personality. Your new healthful habits will become second nature in no time. 10) Keep Trying If your resolution has totally out of steam by midFebruary, dont despair. Start over again! Theres no reason you cant make a New Years resolution any time of year.

5 Tips to Save Now

Believe it or not, saving a few hundred dollars each month doesnt require life-altering steps. There are certain habits to which you may have grown accustomed that could be eating away money. Here are some ways you can start saving immediately. 1. Skip the ATM: ATMs that are outside of your banking network may impose a charge for every withdrawal you make. If you take out money a few times a week every month, it can add up. If you withdraw on average four times per week with a service fee of $2, thats $416 for the 52 weeks in a year on ATMs alone. Instead, use ATMs that dont charge fees. Better yet, take out a specific budgeted amount from inside the bank (where no fees are incurred). This way you dont overspend, either. 2. Pay bills online: You can have almost every major bill directly withdrawn from your checking account these days. Having payments automatically made eliminates any late fees added to your account for paying bills late. Plus, you dont have to pay for postage. 3. Shop discount stores: Many discount merchants offer quality, and even name-brand merchandise for a fraction of the cost of other department stores. They just may be seasons leftovers. Also, consider renting instead of purchasing big-ticket items. For example, for those who have to attend a wedding or other party, you can rent a tuxedo or party dress instead of splurging on an outfit youre probably only going to wear once. 4. Carpool: Lets face it, no matter how much gasoline prices go up or down, its much more cost-effective to carpool and split all costs. Also, switching up vehicles means less wear and tear on one particular car. 5. Pay with cash: By putting purchases on a credit card you run the risk of overspending, and in turn having to pay financing fees. Cut down on credit card usage and you could see more money in your savings.

Va. Man Accused Of Pulling Gun In Domestic Dispute

By Guy Leonard Staff Writer Local deputies have charged a man from Virginia with beating his former girlfriend who lives in Lexington Park during a domestic dispute as well as threatening her with a handgun. Dominique Rashad Taylor, 18, of Montross was arrested Dec. 16 for the alleged offense after a deputy was called out to the home of Taylors former girlfriend for a domestic violence case. According to charging documents filed by Deputy Thomas Seyfried, Taylor and his former girlfriend had broken up after a six-month relationship and had attempted in recent weeks to reconcile their differences. After four days of visiting with his estranged girlfriend, charging documents allege, Taylor became angry when the victim stated that she was not ready to start up their relationship anew. When she asked Taylor to leave, charging documents stated, he became violent, grabbing her from behind by the neck and pulling her close to him. The alleged victim tried to get away, charging documents state, but Taylor pushed her down and attempted to choke her. The woman then bit Taylor on the side of the hand in an attempt to break free, court papers state, but he punched her in the side of the face. Eventually the woman stopped resisting to end the assault, the court papers continue, and Taylor let up. The woman attempted to get help from a neighbor, charging documents state, by banging on the door but Taylor is said to have grabbed her and pulled her back into the apartment. The alleged victim was able to get Taylor to leave the apartment after telling him he had to leave to make way for an inspection, court papers state, and when she shut the door on him he began to yell and beat on the door in attempt to get back in. Taylor eventually was able to remove one of the window screens in the womans apartment and attempted to break in to her apartment once again, court papers state, and she yelled at him to stop. The woman alleged that Taylor pulled a small black handgun from his waistband and pointed it directly at her and she fled upstairs. Taylor also fled, charging documents state, but was later picked up and arrested by a deputy. In all Taylor was charged with first-degree assault, two counts of second-degree assault, being a minor in possession of a firearm and ammunition and using a handgun in the commission of a felony.

January = Organization?

Wanderings of an Aimless Mind

ideas. Onward to Martha. Ive tried, really tried to do a few Marthaesque things in my life. I know some of you have too. I am more along the lines of her second cousin Mildred, you dont hear about her as much - shes the family secret. But my versions of Martha originals are usually of the what can I use thats already here type. Thats what Im doing now, is trying to look at our home office with someone elses eyes to see how I can make an 8 x 10 room more organized. The room not only serves as both of our home offices, but has my Fathers collection of old books, my shoes, and my closet so it is my dressing room and ironing room. Behind where I am sitting is a tall bookcase containing at least 40 photo albums, and there are 10 more to the left of me on another shelf. (Im not kidding on this, and they only go to 1999, thats a whole other project) This room is my January project. My husband looked in my purse to find the Mom-mobile keys over the weekend and said my purse should be my January project. He might be right, the last time I cleaned out all the old receipts and notes, etc. I found $60.00! Back to Martha. I read through all of the organizational sections, picked out the pages I thought were helpful , ripped them out and placed them on the pile with Oprahs. Martha and Oprah would just have to get along. Lastly was Real Simple, with no nonsense organizing tips with clear pictures and a handy bookmark calendar. Whew, I had a lot of pages to rip out in this one. I had found organizational and recycling nirvana. I went back to the office and started looking around, sat here in my chair, thought about what I could get rid of, or donate, or sell on e-bay. Then I thought, well let me turn on the computer and Google home office organizational tips and see what comes up. An hour and a half later my typing fingers were raw, my eyes were blurry, and I felt I should lay down after a hard afternoons work. It was my day off I told myself, I worked hard on this. I didnt sleep, but I rested, and when I got up all recharged and ready to tackle my project, I looked for my magazine pages. They were gone. I looked at my husband, Where are all the papers I laid here? He replied, They were all ripped-up and ragged, I threw them in the woodstove. You really need to start organizing around here. To each new days adventure, Shelby Please send your comments or ideas to shelbys.wanderings@yahoo.com

By Shelby Oppermann
You might have already written out your New Years resolutions with hopefully good and lasting intentions. Maybe you have the same resolutions year after year; eat better, exercise more, dont yell at cars in traffic, avoid standing in long lines at stores where only one register out of fifteen is open Cancel that last one since its now after Christmas. I believe the point of those long lines is to entice you to either buy all the great deals on the end-caps, candy, or one of fifty magazines which promise to change your life from the inside out or the outside in. The stores really try to sucker you in. So, after we got home from the store and I was about finished with my second Baby Ruth bar, I realized I really got some great deals on the economy packs of that off-brand of super glue and nail files. Then I sat down and thought, well, which magazine should I read first; Oprahs huge January issue with the What I know for sure about organization guide to your home and life, or Martha Stewart Livings Guide to organizing everything from your dogs social engagements to bathroom and kitchen junk drawers (I thought, Martha has junk drawers?). The last magazine was Real Simple, also a product of the Martha Stewart empire, but it was more of the See Spot Run variety with easier step by step organizational techniques for the Martha impaired. I really like Oprah. Ill read her first. I began devouring all of the tips and techniques offered by Oprah and her contributing writers, thinking yes I could do that. Oprah has quite a few writers that add a spiritual quality to everything they write. I want that. I want to feel spiritually charged and grateful when I am organizing my sock drawer. There was even a organizers gratitude journal you could order. I ripped out a few pages of helpful information and left them on the coffee table with the intent of creating a workable database of useful

Bob Zentz Folking it Up at Calvert Marine Museum

Andrea Shiell Staff Writer Bob Zentz laughed heartily when asked about his musical background, which spans as far back as the 1950s, when his grandfather gave him a one-inch harmonica, which would be one of more than 60 different instruments on which he would learn to play traditional folk songs. He called himself a recovering piano player, having endured years of piano lessons as a child before being exposed to guitar and banjo, and then promptly falling in love with portable instruments. Zentz paused a moment when asked what instruments he owns. Well I have over 100, he said, but from here I can only see a few of them. He explained that he used to own a music shop, which facilitated his extensive collection of folk instruments, including a large selection of guitars, banjos, didgeridoos, hammer dulcimers, mountain dulcimers, concertinas, drums, zithers, harps, auto-harps (which he calls harps with automatic transmissions), an unusual ancestor of the accordion called a slutina, and his trusty hurdy gurdy, which is a type of mechanical violin and the latest instrument he has learned to play. Zentz may read music, but he insists that he doesnt read enough to hurt his playing, as he prefers to learn by listening. In most parts of his native Norfolk, Virginia, he is called Mr. Folk, his grasp of traditional folk music anchoring him in a kind of quaint universe without the digital cadence of drum machines or Ipods, and his steps will be echoing to Southern Maryland for a free concert at Calvert Marine Museum on January 2. This wont be Zentzs first exposure to Southern Maryland, of course. He said he has performed here since the early 1990s, though he admitted he would be hard-pressed to recall specific dates. My head is full of so many songs, sometimes I cant remember anything else, he said, laughing. His actual history as a performer stretches back to the 1960s, when he performed in a band called The Troubadours while in college, later going on to form the College of William & Marys Minutemen singers, and then becoming president of the Old Dominion College Folk Music Society during the mid-1960s, during what he termed in one previous interview the great 1960s folk scare. Before going on to record six albums and appear on various compilations, Zentz spent several years at sea working for the US Coast Guard, an experience he said helped shape his view of music and culture a great deal. It was a great way to understand how much music means to people who are isolated from the rest of the world, he said, adding that he first developed a taste for the cadence of sea chanties around that time, many of which he will be highlighting during his January 2nd show. Zentz will be hosting a chanty workshop from 6:00 to 6:30 p.m. for maritime music enthusiasts before his concert. Tickets are free.

Does it seem lately that everybody wants to Be Green? You go to the grocery store, and theyre selling Green canvas bags literally for carrying groceries. The hardware store has a bin where you can throw away those squiggly new-fangled light bulbs when they die. Even your workplace is looking for ways to reduce, reuse, recycle. Youd love to go green. It all sounds great, but youre afraid it will take two things you dont have: time and money. So what can you do? You can start by listening to Green Living for Dummies by Yvonne Jeffery, Liz Barclay, and Michael Grosvenor (read by Brett Barry). Youll get dozens of easy-to-use tips that will get you (inexpensively) green in no time. You already know that going green will help save the planet. You want to do your part, but youre focus is on saving greenbacks more than anything. You dont have the money for any extras these days. Can sustainable living co-exist with a barely-sustainable bank account? The authors of this book say yes, and it doesnt take a lot of effort. Its as easy as buying the double-rolls of toilet paper, which gives you the same amount of TP but saves 50% more of those cardboard tubes in the middle. Youll save on cleaning supplies if you follow the authors tips, too. Start with the cabinet full of commercial cleaners in your kitchen. Theres no need to throw them out; instead, use them up, then replace them with greener cleaners when the bottles are empty. Better yet, take a look at whats already in your pantry. Lemon juice, baking soda, and vinegar in different combinations make fine (and environmentallyfriendly) cleaners. Vinegar and olive oil are for more than just a salad. Speaking of food, you probably already know that organic eating is healthier, but did you know that those little labels on fresh fruit can give you big information? Reduce, Reuse, Recycle has been the rallying cry for the Green Movement, but the authors of this audiobook add one more: Regift. Give away that which you dont use. Pass on that perfect-for-someone-else present you got this year by using the three Gs: generous, green, and guilt-free. Just when you thought youd heard every possible green tip in the entire world, along comes Green Living for Dummies. Authors Yvonne Jeffery, Liz Barclay, and Michael Grosvenor offer tips filled with the simplest of things that are the easiest to implement, on three CDs that are quick and enjoyable to listen to, at a price thats right. How can you go wrong? Youll learn how to gently work green into your lifestyle, from home to work and everywhere in between. The tips come fast (and alas, the websites really too fast), which means that this audiobook is one you wont want to recycle, re-gift because youll be reusing it yourself. If you think theres no time (or money) for being eco-minded, pick up Green Living for Dummies. This audiobook will help you go green without going in the red.

Deer Meat
Continued from page A- kill its handled properly. McWilliams said that one of the prerequisites for acceptance into the FHFH program is that his operation be inspected regularly by the state. McWilliams said that his operation so far has put out a lot of venison for the FHFH program; in St. Marys County his operation is the only one working with the program, according to the groups literature, though cooperating butchers operate throughout the state. Last year McWilliams processed 60 deer, whose meat went to feed the hungry he said, for a total of about one-and-a-half tons. We figure they got about 3,000 pounds of venison last year, McWilliams said. We hope to do that again this year; we should be pretty close. FHFH reimburses McWilliams for about 70 percent of the cost he normally charges hunters per deer to process their meat. Last year FHFH only gave him allotment for 40 deer to process, he said, but he was happy to process the other 20 anyway. We just try to eat that cost, McWilliams said. McWilliams is himself a sportsman who loves hunting and fishing; he also has about 30 years of meat cutting experience. He worked at a the Mattingly family grocery store in Leonardtown as meat manager for 22 years, he said, and now works at a grocery

store doing much the same work in Colonial Beach, Va. The process for donating the deer is simple, McWilliams said. The hunter harvests the deer and, after checking it with the local DNR representative, they can bring it by McWilliams shop for processing. Churches and soup kitchens who partner with FHFH then come by to pick it up for free, he said. While its the hunters that harvest the deer, either with shotgun, bow or muzzleloader, the farmers have a part to play in the process, too, McWilliams said. Farmers are eager to have hunters come on their land to harvest deer that continually eat their crops up, he said, so farmers are the ones who allow hunters to have so much more venison to donate. They cant eat them all, McWilliams said. It helps the farmers and it helps the people. The farmers are really the ones who are fattening up the deer. Curtis Benson, of Piney Point, who has been cutting meat just as long at McWilliams, helps out in the shop, too. While cutting away delicious venison back straps and tenderloins he also points out that harvesting so many deer also helps out motorists and their bottom lines on insurance premiums. It helps the insurance companies, too, Benson said with a smile. It keeps the deer off the road; theyll tear up a car.

A 90-Minute Makeup Session Turns Actor Into Shrek

By Michael Kuchwara AP Drama Writer NEW YORK (AP) Its a little after 6 p.m. in the star dressing room at the Broadway Theatre, where a sign on the door warns: ``Do not disturb. Shrek makeup in progress. In progress _ and moving methodically along. Two makeup artists _ Dave Presto and Angela Johnson _ work quickly and quietly on Brian dArcy James, transforming the affable, soft-spoken actor into a mean, green ogre, the title character in ``Shrek the Musical, a lavish new stage version of the DreamWorks animated movie. There is an almost Zen-like tranquility to the scene. Music drifts quietly from a radio; a fan whirls softly. And James, wearing a white bathrobe that covers a spiffy, striped blue shirt and almost hides his crisp jeans, looks positively relaxed, his eyes often closed during the 90-minute makeover. He sits in a black-leather barber chair placed in front of a mirror in the large, brightly lighted dressing room, once the home of such Tony winners as Patti LuPone in ``Evita, Jonathan Pryce in ``Miss Saigon and, more recently, LaChanze in ``The Color Purple. ``Its the biggest makeup show ever, says Johnson, production makeup supervisor for the musical, as she works on the right side of James face. Presto, billed as the Shrek makeup artist, is on the left. After all, this is a fairy-tale musical and there are other creatures, including several other green ogres, as well as Donkey, Pinocchio, the Three Bears and more to get ready to paint. After a rubber skull cap is placed on James head, these artisans get down to work, gluing and painting the various pieces of prosthetics that will turn James head and neck into the top half of Shrek. Their instruments of choice? Long cotton swabs and small brushes, which they use with delicate, small strokes. ``The amount of glue applied to each actor is unprecedented, says James during one of the moments he is allowed to talk during the transformation. ``You literally have to put on a skin, a thick skin, as it were, James continues. ``The makeup has an effect on how I move my head, my neck ... and how it looks in conjunction with my body. Standing by is James dresser, Jack Scott, ready to help the actor put on the costume that will complete the changeover. Check out the huge green hands that slip onto James fingers like gloves. And when the transformation is done, theres Shrek, complete with a Scottish accent, ready to face that evenings audience. And what is that green ogre singing as he warms up those vocal cords? A show tune, of course: ``I Feel Pretty from ``West Side Story.

Green Jobs
Continued from page A- percent could be efficiencythe government could support it through tax credits, or use it with public buildingsbut efficiency is a great way forwardthe market still needs to be created so this can reach private residences though. Theres still this feeling that its still out of reach for consumers, he said. The report estimates building retrofitting to take up $766 million, with mass transit and freight rail programs calling for $383 million, smart grids accounting for $191 million, and wind and solar power and advanced biofuels taking up $547 million of states projected allotment. Whether or not this report would inform legislation in the future is unclear. Delegate John Bohanan (D-Lexington Park) admitted he was unfamiliar with the report, but that projects for environmental cleanup were already underway. The Chesapeake Bay Restoration Fund would be the most immediate project we have in placebut its nowhere near that kind of investmentbut as the federal stimulus package flows throughtheres going to be an eye towards lasting projectsthey will benefit the generation thats going to pay for them. There is a lot of opportunity to put people back to work, said Johnson, but on a local level it really depends on the regions themselves and how they want to take advantage of that.

Continued from page A- low public comment at the meeting and, once approved, the public spoke. We sent you to be good stewards of our tax dollars, said Joan Ritchie, of Leonardtown. I [dont] see how you can justify spending that kind of money with property values going down. Youre paying a premium. Mattingly said the price had been agreed on during the two years the county had been in negotiations with the Hayden family prior to the drop in land prices. Doug Marrick ripped the commissioners on their choice of Christmas Eve to hold the meeting as well as not putting the meeting time on the county Web site. Where was the intent of holding this meeting on the Internet? Marrick said. I spent 45 minutes the other night trying to find it; nothing. Marrick said the Christmas Eve meeting looked like an attempt to hide what the commissioners were doing. The timing? The perception is youre trying to hide, Marrick said. The perception is youre out of control. Others who spoke out said the timing and the process the commissioners used to purchase the land, while legal, undermined the

publics confidence in their elected leaders. Russell said that the purchase of the land would help ensure that the county would have adequate space for a new school and other public uses, like parks and recreation. Were just trying to do the best job we can for the citizens of St. Marys County, Russell said. The vote came down to a 4-to-1 decision in favor of the purchase with Jarboe the lone opposing vote. John William Quade, a Leonardtownbased realtor and land appraiser, said that the average going price for land similar to the acreage the county purchased was between $9,000 and $20,000 per acre. Quade, who said he knew no details of the sale nor was involved in the sale in any way, said that any number of factors could have contributed to the value of the land purchased costing just under $31,000 an acre. The intention of building a school there, the density allowable on the land and if it was available for development were all factors, he said. The land purchase could conceivably be in line for an annexation by the Town of Leonardtown, Quade said, since its water and sewer services were close enough. Its just a procedural issue, its something thats quite usual, Quade said. Its right next to a piece of property thats already in the town.
