Coming to Grips
with Lexington Park Plan
Local
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
The staff at the Department of Land Use and Growth Management came out with their plan to update the design of the Lexington
Park Development District just under a year ago and they and the
countys Planning Commission have been working steadily to examine and modify the document for presentation to elected leaders.
So far theyve only gotten through to the latter half of the second chapter but they say that not only are the first two chapters
of the document the most critical but they are the most complex
because they guide the design and build out of the countys largest
development district.
The plan is important not only because it guides development possibilities but it also seeks to modernize the development
district to make it more attractive for commercial and residential
revitalization.
This, if done correctly, should allow for 70 percent of the
countys growth to occur in the development districts per the
countys overall plan while allowing the other 30 percent to take
place in rural areas.
They say that the process is well worth the wait.
Were trying to get through the mapping of the park, planning commission chair Howard Thompson said.
Key to the process is the realization that Lexington Park continues to change as the process goes forward, especially when it
comes to traffic patterns.
Once the Great Mills Road corridor was the traffic nexus of
the park but with the shift to the Pegg Road entrance as the main
gate to Patuxent River NAS that has changed, pushing the center of
the downtown farther north.
Recognizing just where the center of the downtown is informs
how the revitalization of the park can proceed.
Also the planning commission must find a way to ensure that
roads within the downtown can connect to make it more attractive
to infill development and also make it possible to take traffic off of
roads like Route 5 and Three Notch Road.
The commission has already made significant changes to the
draft plan presented last year.
Originally the plan called for reducing the size of the development district but after protests from property owners the commission decided to remove that language and keep it the same size.
Also they have decided to remove from the plan the option to
build a business campus on the former flat tops or Lexington
Manor property in downtown and keep it as green space.
Those are probably the biggest changes theyve made regarding chapter one, said senior planner Jeff Jackman, saying that one
of the keys to the plan was to establish transportation routes to provide better connectivity to give a center to the park that it had not
really known before.
This would help bring in more, newer businesses and revitalize older neighborhoods.
Thats what this whole plan is for, to invite revitalization,
Jackman said.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled this

week that police now must get a warrant
to view a suspects personal information on a cell phone unless in an extreme
case, for example, where someones life
might be in jeopardy or for officer safety.
Digital data on a cell phone cannot itself be used as a weapon to harm
an arresting officer or to effectuate the
arrestees escape, the court reported in
a unanimous opinion. Once an officer
has secured a phone and eliminated any
potential physical threats, however, data
on a cell phone can endanger no one.
Sheriff Timothy K. Cameron said
that the ruling was a good one but it
would change the way deputies conducted their investigations when it came to
cell phones seized during an arrest.
Before the ruling there were instances when detectives would both look
at a cell phones contents without obtaining a warrant as well as waiting to obtain
one.
The law allowed it up until now if it
was seized as part of an arrest, Cameron
told The County Times. I felt the court

was going in that direction but they left
the exigent circumstances there.
Cameron said he agreed with the
ruling of the Supreme Court because it
more closely safeguarded the rights of
citizens under the Fourth Amendment to
the U.S. Constitution.
The Supreme Court case stemmed
from two separate arguments from the
east and west coasts.
In a California case police used information from a suspects phone that
pointed to alleged gang membership and
led to an eventual trial that led to his being convicted on an attempted murder
charge.
The second case was in Massachusetts where police arrested a suspect on
suspicion of selling crack cocaine; police
used the cell phone of the defendant to
find out where he lived and upon searching the premises they found drugs, a gun
and ammunition.
Defendants in both cases tried to
suppress the evidence from the cell
phones.
NRC Pier Damaged

by 2009 Fire
Slated for Demo
The condemned pier on Navy Recreation Center Solomons commuters have grown
accustomed to seeing as they cross the Thomas Johnson Bridge will soon be a thing of the
past.
Beginning next week, the once-upon-a-time fuel pier that was constructed in 1943
to support the activities of the Naval Mine Warfare Test Station at Solomons will begin
undergoing demolition. While this project is underway, it will bring barges, divers, boats,
cranes and barge- mounted cranes to the Patuxent River.
Through the years the pier has had many uses, including docking the former East
German Tarantul I Class Missile Corvette Hiddensee and USS Hugo NS-8201, until a fire
damaged it beyond repair in April 2009.
The demolition project is scheduled to last six weeks.
CORRECTION
In last weeks article about Zach Werrell, the campaign manager for victorious Virginia congressional primary candidate David Brat, The County
Times erred in relaying that in one of his on-line social site posts that he
supported states being able to secede from the union.
His statement in fact said that he supported parts of states breaking away
from their parent states and forming new ones, not from the union.
The County Times regrets the error.

Legal Victory for the Tiki Bar
Simply put, it is vindication of the Tiki Bar's protection of its property rights and marks the end of 8 years of
harassment by some in county government of this property
owner and its property. A great victory for the property
right advocates who simply want government to follow the
rule of law, said Tiki Bar Attorney V. Charles Donnelly.
The Court of Special Appeals (CSA) ruling granted
Mr. Lucky's Motion to Dismiss the appeals filed by Ronald
Ross on the basis that he lacked standing because he had
moved out of state to Florida. To challenge a zoning decision the aggrieved party must be an adjacent property
owner or live real near by he or she must be a Maryland
taxpayer (or be a government official charged with enforcement of the zoning ordinance). In two of the appeal cases,
Ross was an appellant along with the Calvert County Board
of Commissioners (BOCC) and the Planning Commission
(PC). In those two cases, the Court dismissed the issues
raised only by Ross and not by the BOCC or the PC. In
one of the appeals, Ross was the only appellant so the CSA
dismissed that appeal, Donnelly said.
In the reviewing the issues before the Court in the remaining two appeals filed by the BOCC and the PC, the
Court affirmed all of the Board of Appeals decisions and
the Circuit Court decisions, which had been made in favor
of the Tiki Bar.
The CSA reversed Judge Northrop's finding that the
correct parking calculation for the Exterior Accessory Use
area between the buildings at the Tiki Bar was one space
for every 50 square feet and remanded the case back to the
Circuit Court with the direction to enter the correct formula
as one space per 200 square feet.
The 1 to 200 formula is the amount of parking spaces
(75) first proposed by the Tiki Bar on its site plan filed in
2006, Donnelly said.
The CSA reversed the Board of Appeals decision and
the Circuit Court decision, affirming the Board of Appeals
decision on the finding that an easement over property
owned by the Harbor Island to provide access from Charles
Street to the parking lot at the rear of the Tiki property was
wrongly decided by the Board and the Circuit Court.
The CSA felt it was constrained to reverse on that
approval challenge issue because the BOCC had changed
the CCZO in May, 2012 regarding such easements to require that a shared roadway use on an adjoining property
be a permanent easement. The CSA, however, affirmatively
stating that it is remanding that issue and only that single
issue back to the Planning Commission for resolution.
The CSA's opinion leaves open whether Mr. Lucky
can present a "permanent' easement for the right of way by
agreement with the neighbor, Harbor Island, or provide an
alternate route for access to the rear parking lot. There are
several other alternative for the Tiki Bar including the use
of Maltby Street which runs behind the Tiki Bar and has
been a publicly dedicated roadway since 1983. Thus, the PC
is left with a single issue and it cannot now determine, as it
did in the past, that there are other issues on the Site Plan
that need to be resolved, Donnelly said.

Among many things the CSA approved (challenged by
the BOCC and the PC), the CSA affirmed the Board of Appeals' decisions that the "Exterior Accessory Area" between
the buildings is a permitted non-conforming use going back
before 1980, that the area between the buildings is a congregating site, not an extension of the tavern the BOCC and the
PC alleged, that the changes made within that interior area
including the sand, palms and Tiki gods were not an ntensification of use (so a permitted use), that the parking regulations no longer apply to the area between the buildings,
that the sunset provision for non-conforming uses found in
the 1967 CCZO are not applicable, that the buildings on the
western side of the courtyard do not violate the set back requirements and are legal, that the Board correctly found that
the site plan is consistent with the goals of the Solomons
Master Plan, and so on. In essence, the CSA approved the
site plan and uses with one final tweak, the access to the
parking lot at the rear of the property.
As mentioned a real vindication of the Tiki Bar's fight
to protect its property rights. The decision is also a vindication of the Calvert County Board of Appeals and its many
members and counsel who since 2006 steadfastly applied
the law and received tremendous political pressure and
criticism for following the law and not making decisions
the way some political interests demanded, Donnelly said.

Judge Sentences
Man in Serial
Burglary Case
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
Circuit Court Michael J. Stamm sentenced a 28-year-old man with no fixed
address to nearly 40 years in prison last week for a string of thefts and burglaries
he committed in 2012 and 2013 to support an apparent drug addiction.
Robert Williams pleaded guilty to a 19-count indictment back in March
along with his sister Lindsey Williams, which included theft, first-degree burglary and possession of an illegal stolen firearm.
Assistant States Attorney Daniel J. White, who prosecuted the case, said
that Williams theft spree started close to home.
He started out by stealing from relatives numerous times, White told The
County Times. Then he graduated to other peoples homes.
White said his sister faces the same charges but has yet to be sentenced; she
remains incarcerated in state prison on a separate case.
Williams stole jewelry, guns or anything else he thought was off value,
White said, and burglarized four homes in Morganza, Avenue and Leonardtown
sometimes more than once.
When he committed these burglaries Williams was already out on probation
for previous theft cases; this netted him additional backup time in prison, White
said.
They were brazen, daytime, kick-the-door-in burglaries, White said.
Lindsey Williams is set to be sentenced July 14 in Circuit Court, on-line
court documents showed.
Police: Jewel Store,

Pharmacy Heist Linked
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
St. Marys County investigators are seeking help from the public
in identifying two men who they say robbed the New Market Pharmacy
in Mechanicsville June 22 in broad daylight.
The two black males brandished a handgun and demanded money
and pills from the stores sole employee that day and bound the victim
with tape before leaving the scene, police said.
Neither of the two men tried to disguise their identity during the
heist, said police spokeswoman Sgt. Cara Grumbles.
It appears that theyre not worried about having their faces out
there, Grumbles said, adding that have contacted media outlets in Calvert, Charles and Prince Georges counties as well as in the District of
Columbia to spread the pictures of the suspects.
The video from inside the pharmacy is good, Grumbles said.
Somebody has to know who these guys are.
This latest robbery takes place just days after a June 18 robbery at
the nearby T.C. Martin Jewelers store in Charlotte Hall where the same
suspects are believed to have used a handgun to steal cash and jewelry.
State police with the Criminal Enforcement Division are handling
that case.
The first suspect is described as a black male, 6-feet in height,
weighing between 200 and 250 pounds with a beard and shaved head.
The second suspect stands about 5-feet, 8-inches tall and weighs
in at about 160 pounds.
In the first robbery the suspects fled in a black Cadillac Escalade,
according to police reports. The victim in the second robbery was not
able to provide a description of any getaway vehicle.
Anyone with information regarding the suspects in the armed robberies is eligible for a $1,000 reward from the sheriffs office if it leads
to an indictment.
Anyone with information about this crime may contact CRIME
SOLVERS at 301-475-3333. Callers can remain anonymous. Citizens
can also text a tip to "TIP239" plus a message to '"CRIMES" (274637).

Car Chase Leads to

Assault Charges

Local deputies have charged a Mechanicsville man with leading them on a

high-speed chase that included the defendant allegedly trying to ram a pursuing
officer.
Joseph Michael Burkhard III, 31,
faces charges of first-and-second-degree
assault and reckless endangerment for the
June 19 incident.
Police say the chase started when
Dep. David Lawrence confronted Burkhard while he was parked in his 2000
Ford Ranger at a property on Wainwright
Road in Mechanicsville; when deputies
determined he had no business there they
told him to leave and not return, charging
documents stated.
But soon after they found he had
returned and began to drive erratically
crossing the center line numerous times.
Lawrence said he pulled in behind
Burkhards vehicle on Thompson Corner
Road and activated his emergency lights
but the defendant refused to stop.
They continued on towards the intersection with Budds Creek Road, Lawrence wrote in court papers, with Burkhard stopping abruptly several times in
order to throw the pursuing deputy off his

chase, he claimed.
Burkhard abruptly turned onto
Budds Creek Road and stopped and Lawrence confronted him with his service
weapon and told him to get out but Burkhard refused, eventually driving off a
second time.
By the time the two vehicles reached
the entrance to Maryland International
Raceway Burkhard stopped his vehicle,
put it in reverse and then quickly accelerating attempted to ram my patrol car
the defendant then sped away, Lawrence
wrote.
The pursuit started a third time with
Deputy Shawn Cathcart joining in the
area of Chaptico Park along with Deputy
Timothy Wesner who deployed stop strips
before the traffic circle at Budds Creek
and Maddox roads that were effective in
bringing the chase to a close.
The defendants vehicle traveled
approximately 300 more feet to the traffic
circle at Budds Creek Road and Maddox
Road where it spun on the wet surface
conditions, charging papers stated.
The deputies then took Burkhard
into custody.

Air Force NCO Sentenced to 120 Years

in Prison for Sexually Exploiting Toddlers
and Children to Produce Child Pornography
Drugged and Bound at Least Five Children to
Produce Child Pornography Which Gazafi Then Distributed
U.S. District Judge Roger W. Titus sentenced William S. Gazafi, age 44, of Lusby, Md., Tuesday to 120
years in prison for six counts of sexually exploiting a minor to produce child pornography.
The sentence was announced by United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein;
Special Agent in Charge Stephen E. Vogt of the Federal
Bureau of Investigation; and Brigadier General Keith
M. Givens, Commander Air Force Office of Special
Investigations.
We investigate cases every day that make us shake
our heads, but for someone to sexually abuse a fivemonth-old baby defies comprehension. Cases such as
this serve as a reminder that in this day and age, a persons status and position doesnt immediately make him
trustworthy, said Steve Vogt, Special Agent in Charge of
the FBI Baltimore Division. Today, our children and our
community are safer because of the dedication the agents
and detectives who worked this case showed in tracking
down this man and making sure he spends the rest of his
life in prison.
According to the indictment, court documents and
statements made at his plea hearing, on Aug. 15, 2013,
Gazafi engaged in a chat on a website dedicated to incest discussions with an undercover officer. During the
chat, Gazafi discussed his sexual interest in children

and advised that he had been drugging and molesting
several children, including an infant. During the chat,
Gazafi sent seven images to the undercover officer, three
of which were child pornography he stated he produced
after drugging the child. Gazafi was subsequently identified and arrested.
At the time of his arrest, Gazafi was carrying multiple digital media items. A forensic examination of those
items and others seized from his residence revealed videos and images that Gazafi produced of children engaged
in sexually explicit conduct, including one child as young
as five months old. The images also depict children
bound and handcuffed while sleeping. In addition to producing hundreds of images of five children, ranging in
age of five months to seven years, Gazafi distributed the
images he produced to others on the Internet. Gazafi was
communicating with other child pornography producers,
some of whom sent him images of children they were
abusing. Thus far, three children have been identified as a
result. Gazafi possessed over 15,000 images and videos of
children being sexually abused, many toddler and infant
age. Gazafi is a non-commissioned officer in the U.S.
Air Force working at Andrews Air Force Base. Gazafi
remains detained.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by

CSM Medical Lab Tech Program Earns

National Accreditation
College Moves to Meet Urgent Need for Technicians

A good day for Sunny Schemery is one
that includes looking at bacteria under a microscope. My friends ask, Why do you want
to look at blood and body fluids? and I say,
Because its fun.
The fun shes having as a Medical Laboratory Technology (MLT) student at the College of Southern Maryland is providing Schemery, 22 of Leonardtown, with the skills she
needs for a high-demand healthcare career.
Projections from the U.S. Department of
Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics indicate that
the job outlook for medical and clinical lab
technologists and technicians is expected to
increase at 22 percent between 2012 and 2022
to meet the need for an estimated 70,600 new
jobs.
To meet the growing demand, CSM is
offering a Medical Laboratory Technology
(MLT) associates degree program that has
earned accreditation from the National Ac-
crediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences (NAACLS).

Accreditation is a means of external review that provides assurance to our students
that the program meets national education
standards. This accreditation means that our
students are getting the training they need to
be successful, said CSM Health Sciences Division Chair Dr. Laura Polk. Students are getting the academic and practical education they
need to be effective in the profession.
CSMs two-year program, including one
summer session, prepares students to work as
a member of a diagnostic healthcare team that
performs routine and automated procedures
under the supervision of a medical technologist or pathologist. MLTs perform tests that include complete blood counts, urinalysis, cross
matching blood for transfusion, identifying
pathogenic organisms and chemical analysis
of blood and other body fluids. Graduates can
apply to take the American Society for
Clinical Pathology (ASCP) Board of
Certification exam to obtain national
certification as a medical lab technician. To date, CSM graduates have a
100 percent pass rate for ASCP certification and a 100 percent employment
rate.
Each fall, a new cohort of MLT
students begins the program and
moves through their coursework together. A major aspect of the program
is hands-on training through clinical
rotations in a hospital clinical laboratory at Calvert Memorial Hospital, UniCSM medical laboratory technician program students Sunny versity of Maryland Charles Regional

dorf work with a complete blood count (CBC) analyzer to test Hospital and MedStar Southern Marya specimen sample during a lab class at the La Plata Campus.
land Hospital Center, with more clinical sites

being added.
In this field, technicians work in close
proximity in a lab setting. By creating a cohort, or family-like atmosphere when students
are going through the program, they are learning the soft skills that will be necessary for
them to be successful in the workforce, said
MLT Program Coordinator Tiffany Gill MA,
MT (ASCP).
To Shantel Hernandez of Waldorf, a
mother of three children under the age of 11,
the program is extraordinarily intense but
awesome.
Going through a program as taxing as
this is easier with a group of friends, said
Hernandez. She said that her classmates have
become fast friends who are encouraging and
helpful. The faculty are there for students,
making sure that we have all the information
we need to be successful.
Hernandez completed her first year of the
program and is working through the summer
session. This fall her cohort will begin clinical
rotations. Once she completes the program,
Hernandez plans to search for a job and eventually work toward a bachelors degree.
The associates MLT program is a great
foundation to build on, she said.
Also in the cohort with Hernandez is
Schemery, who started at CSM in 2009.
I wasnt sure what I wanted to do [as a
career] and through pre-nursing courses found
that I had a passion for microbiology, she said.
When she learned of the MLT program she
applied, and one of the things that appealed
to Schemery when she researched the degree
was the high demand for technicians.
At first hesitant about the rigor of the pro-
Mayurkumar Patel of Waldorf works on lab procedures in preparation for a career as a medical
laboratory technician (MLT) through CSMs associate degree program. To date, CSM graduates have
a 100 percent pass rate for MLT American Society
for Clinical Pathology (ASCP) certification and a 100
percent employment rate.
gram, Schemery said that she knew she would

have to study, study, study.
I set my mind to succeeding and I have
done better than I thought, she said.
Schemery plans to apply for MLT jobs
after she graduates in May 2015 and to pursue
a bachelors degree online while she works.

CSM Assists in State EARN Implementation Grants

College, MES, Tri-County Council Working on
Water Quality, Wellness in Region
The Maryland Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation (DLLR) has awarded two
state EARN Implementation Grants naming the College of Southern Maryland as sub-recipients.
"CSM is Southern Maryland's first choice for high quality workforce training and development. We have experience meeting the region's needs working through industry-education
partnerships including multiple stakeholders--employers, agencies and organizations. Drinking
water quality, the health and safety of the Chesapeake Bay, and addressing current and future
healthcare workforce needs are all areas of great concern to our college and our community,"
said CSM Continuing Education and Workforce Development Vice President Dr. Dan Mosser.
CSMs Maryland Center for Environmental Training (MCET) on the La Plata Campus will
work with lead applicant Maryland Environmental Services and five Maryland utilities in the
water/wastewater industry to provide industry specific training through a strategic approach of
assessment and training. Through the Water and Wastewater Career Development Partnership
for Central Maryland, MCET plans to evaluate the incumbent workers career readiness providing them with a snapshot of their current skills, and then work with them to identify what they
need to learn to close their individual skills gap for their profession, and pass the State certification examination.
The training plan is designed to make remedial training available as needed in areas identified as critical to the individual worker. MCETs goal is to provide assistance and guidance
through this evaluation process, and then build on this with industry specific training, such
Mathematics for the Water and Wastewater Operator in the first grant period, working towards
State certification for the operator. CSM has received $85,470 of the $150,000 grant award.
The most exciting part of this entire project, is that once developed MCET can take this
program statewide and provide these evaluations to employees in the smaller utilities. We can
focus on helping water and wastewater operators reach their professional goals and also pass the
State certification exam said MCET Executive Director Karen Brandt.
CSMs Continuing Education and Workforce Development (CWD) Division will work
with lead applicant Tri-County Council for Southern Maryland to deliver technical training to
identify underemployed, unemployed and veterans who want to start a healthcare career. Further, the grant will deliver soft skills training to the incumbent healthcare workforce to meet the
new Center for Medicare services pay for performance incentive which focuses on customer
service and patient outcomes. CSM has received $94,450 of the $150,000 grant award.
CSM is delighted to work with the Southern Maryland Healthcare Alliance to train future
and current workers, said Executive Director, Susan Ross.
EARN Maryland, managed by DLLR, is a first-of-its-kind State skills training and economic development initiative that is business-led, flexible and collaborative. EARN Maryland
is designed to ensure that Maryland employers have the talent they need to compete and grow
while providing targeted education and skills training to Maryland workers.
There is no progress without a job. By awarding todays state-funded Implementation
Grants to these selected strategic partnerships, were moving our State forward and helping more
Marylanders get the skills they need to qualify for Marylands most in-demand jobs. Working
together, were ensuring that these EARN Implementation Grants will provide industry-specific,
state-of-the-art training for high-demand occupations, said Governor OMalley.

CSM Instructor, Student

Receive Star of Life Awards
Education
Rescue during Anniversary March Earned

Nomination, Recognition from Peers
Paramedic John Gosford, a College of Southern Maryland
professor and Emergency Medical Services program coordinator, and Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) Dallas Arenas, a student in the paramedic training program, have been
honored with American Ambulance Associations Star of Life
awards for their outstanding commitment and dedication in the
line of service.
The awards presented this spring recognized their actions
in saving the life of a person attending the 50th Anniversary of
the March on Washington on August 24, 2013 on the National
Mall. By performing lifesaving procedures to a patient in cardiac arrest at the scene and during transport to the hospital, the
patient survived and was able to go home after a few days.
A paramedic with more than 25 years of experience, Gosford, works part time for American Medical Response (AMR)
to maintain skills and certifications. Gosford served in a variety
of field and non-field EMS roles including paramedic, dispatching, education and regulatory services before joining the faculty at CSM.

Arenas became an EMT in 2009 after losing a close
family member in a car crash. She worked for AMR Massachusetts in 2010 gaining experience in inter-facility transfer
and 9-1-1 emergency calls. She transferred to the Washington,
D.C. Metro region in 2012 and earned her National Registry
EMT certification. In addition to her work for AMR and studies in CSMs EMS program, Arenas works in a dual position at
MedStar St. Marys Hospital as the hyperbaric safety director
and hyperbaric chamber technologist.
Every workday at AMR begins with a pre-shift vehicle
and equipment inspection and an assignment from dispatch.

Last August, Gosford and Arenas were assigned as a crew for
one of their scheduled shifts and received instructions to work
as a back-up for the 50th Anniversary March on Washington.
Crowds were expected in the thousands. On location they
watched as people swelled onto the Mall encircling their rescue
vehicle. When they got the lights and siren call from dispatch
their first concern was getting the truck through the crowd to
the scene where police and other EMS personnel were assisting
the patient while waiting on the transport unit. What happened
next, and over the next few hours, was the direct result of the
right people, with the right training, being in the right place at
the right time to save a life.
This was not Gosfords first save, he has earned other
CPR Save Achievement awards, and he did not anticipate the
national recognition that he and Arenas received.
[The call and rescue] was like any otherexcept for the
circumstances, said Gosford. Police motorcycles formed a
V, cutting a path through the crowd which allowed us to get
the patient to the hospital as quickly as possible.
EMS professionals do not often find out what happens to
patients after they are dropped off at the hospital, but in this
case Gosford was informed that the patient survived. AMR
workers who assisted in the rescue felt that Gosfords and Arenas actions that day were the reason that the patients outcome
was positive and nominated the pair for the Star of Life Award
through their company.
Each year, EMS providers working for thousands of public and private rescue squads nationwide nominate peers for the
Paramedic John Gosford, a College of Southern Maryland professor and

Emergency Medical Services program coordinator, left, and Emergency
Medical Technician (EMT) Dallas Arenas, were honored with American
Ambulance Associations Star of Life awards for their outstanding
commitment and dedication in the line of service.
Star of Life. For this past year, there were 82 recipients of the
award out of more than 200,000 EMS providers nationwide,
with Gosford and Arenas as the only recipients from the D.C.
Metro area.

Gosford has a bachelors degree in information studies from Florida State University and a masters degree in public safety leadership from Capella University. He is completing
a Ph.D. program in emergency management at Capella. He became interested in emergency medical training while in a premed program at the University of South Florida in the 1980s.
Between semesters he attended Hillsborough Community Colleges EMT program and followed up with paramedic training. He worked full-time as an emergency room paramedic at
Tampa General Hospital and trained with the flight crews for
the hospitals medevac helicopter program, while working as a
dispatcher.

Reconsider
Leonardtown Library
Renovations
This election cycle offers voters an opportunity to reconsider
plans to renovate the Leonardtown library.
In 2011, I felt the commissioners decision to halt the plans to
build a new library and renovate the old library instead, was both
shortsighted and ill advised.
The expected cost to renovate the existing library has increased from $1.8 to $3.2 million. As a taxpayer, I prefer to spend
this money on a new building. My November vote will definitely
go to the candidate willing to provide our countys well-used and
essential library services with a long overdue new building in
Leonardtown.
If you are one of the countless library customers who have
expressed this opinion to me in the past few years, please take
action by writing a letter and/or letting the candidates for commissioner know how you stand on this issue.

As we are approaching our Independence Day, we

can look back at 1776 and see what caused the war for
our independence. To me, the political situation in the
United States today seems to be a replay of the events
that led to the Revolutionary War.
On one side was England with its kings, laws, taxes,
suppression of freedom, and ignoring of the Colonists
wishes. Now we have the big government Democrat
Party, headed by President Obama, and his partys rules
and regulations that ignores our Constitution, suppresses
our freedoms and supports high taxes, the legalization of
abortion, the homosexual agenda, and more.
On the other side during the Revolutionary War
were the Colonists, roughly divided into two groups.
The Tories sided and compromised with England and refused to fight. The Patriots had had enough of Englands
tyranny and started a revolution to gain our freedom and
independence. Today we have the establishment Republicans and the Tea Party.
Starting back at the last 50 to 60 years, we can see
how our country has changed, and not for the better. The
Bible has been removed from public schools and Christianity is under attack by our government. Lying, deceit, cover-ups, etc. are standard government practices,
along with running up a gigantic federal debt. Murder
of innocent children in the wombs by abortion is legal.
Homosexuality and same-sex marriage are legal and cel-
ebrated. The government has grown and controls much

of our population through rules and regulations, and programs such as Welfare, Social Security, Medicare, etc.
and is beginning to implement Obamacare. In one way
or another, most of the population is dependent on the
federal government for a job or some assistance. We are
become an anti-Christian socialist nation.
As a patriotic American you might despair at how
much freedom we have lost and wonder what can we do
to restore it. If you are a Christian, you might also wonder how long God is going to put up with the evil in our
country.
One major difference between1776 and now is that
during Revolutionary War times we were a Christian nation with strong Christian leaders. We also had churches
that placed their trust in God and stood firmly against
evil. Now we have too many people who worship the
federal government, whom they consider to be the provider of all good things and the decider of right and
wrong, good and evil. We desperately need a Christian
revival to replace what we have today.
The United States is at a crossroads, with the results of the upcoming November election an indication
of our future. Pray that God will guide voters to make
righteous choices.

Dear Mr.Collins:
I am writing this letter to urge you to proceed posthaste in the approval of all facets of the proposed Dominion LNG additional facilities at Cove Point, Lusby, Md.,
and to reinforce my request I offer personal experience
with the original facility.
I owned a Real Estate Brokerage in Lusby, Md. during the 1970's when the original LNG plant was built.
The same groups and individuals complained then as
they are now misrepresenting and actually lying about
much that they know nothing of. I have received mail
from a group in Accokeek, Md., full of scare tactics for
which they are so well known.
During the time of the construction of this plant
and thereafter for a number of years, I offer the following:
My home on the Chesapeake Bay was just a stone's
throw south of this construction and we never heard or
were bothered by it. The individual workers they brought
in were certainly not a deterrent to the community. I saw
no bad roads, no disruption in our normal activities and
certainly nothing this operation was accused of. I rented
my properties to many of them, including the gentleman
who became their general manager, for quite a few years.
I also had a long range contract with the U. S. Coast

Guard to rent my properties to the very select individuals
that were chosen to man the Coast Guard vessels, protecting the surrounding area as the LNG vessels from Algeria
arrived at the facility to off load their material.
It was very interesting to watch these huge vessels
arrive and depart and there was certainly no noise involved in this, but very interesting to view. I believe I still
have some pictures of this operation.
This has not only been an asset to Calvert County,
but a continuing and better one for the new addition, as
well as the State. Far better than the hideous and useless
wind farms that are nothing but eyesores.
It is a shame that groups such as the Sierra Club
and others like them, whose sole purpose is to deny the
progress of anything that is anathama to their ill-thought
agendas.
I hope this letter will help you make a prompt and
positive decision to enable this vital project to proceed to
its successful conclusion.

and 29 A delegate seat Steve Waugh and Matt Morgan
sailed to victory in their primary races Tuesday setting up one rematch from the 2010 elections between
Waugh and incumbent Sen. Roy Dyson.
Dyson ran in the Democratic primary unopposed.
Morgan, 41, will face off against Leonardtownbased attorney Daniel Slade for the seat to be vacated
by the long-serving John F. Wood.
This shows what we can do, said Waugh, 51,
of Lusby when the final election results for both St.
Marys and Calvert counties came in Tuesday night.
This shows that we can organize and that we can win.
Waugh nearly defeated Dyson in the general election four years ago and was able to renew his campaign
momentum this time to out distance both Larry Jarboe
and Cindy Jones, two St. Marys County Commissioners who had run as fiscal conservatives similar in some
ways to Waughs platform.
We have a positive message and a positive vision that jobs are the issue, taxes are the problem and
spending is the cause, Waugh said, repeating the core
mantra of his campaign. And its resonating.
Still he knew that Dyson could still be tough to
beat.
I think hes very formidable, I would never underestimate anybody, said Waugh.
Morgan overcame challenges from both former
County Commissioner President Thomas F. McKay
and former liquor salesman Bryan Puff Barthelme.
Morgan won 1,258 votes.
In St. Marys Waugh won 2,200 votes to Jarboes
1,731 and Jones 1,502.
He credited his victory to a hard fought campaign
on the issues but also to name recognition.
It came down to hard work and I think people

know me as someone who fights for the cause, Morgan said, adding that his opponents were formidable. I
have so much respect for Mr. McKay and I thank him
for the race; Puff came from nowhere and made a name
for himself and he helped get his son elected to the Republican Central Committee.
He said he believed his pending race against Slade
would be a close one.
Hes a competent guy and an honest family man,
Morgan said. This race is about trying to take the state
in a different direction.
In Calvert, Waugh won more votes than both Jones
and Jarboe with 769 votes, according to the latest information available from the Calvert County Board of

Waugh stood in victory Tuesday night with Morgan and Deb Rey, who is running in District 29 B
against incumbent Del. John Bohanan, a Democrat.
He and Morgan both ran on a platform of reducing
taxes and curbing spending in Annapolis.
School board candidates Rita Weaver and John
Alonzo Gaskin were the top two vote getters in their
race, easily out pacing their opponent Randy Darnowsky. They will both go on to face each other in November for the seat of board chair Salvatore Raspa who
is retiring.

A View From The
Bleachers
Sports, Music & Life
On The Margin
By Ronald N. Guy Jr.

Contributing Writer
In economics,
the margin is magic.
Its Disney World,
the Super Bowl, a
Rolling Stones concert, Mardi Gras, a
golf major with Tiger Woods in contention (remember those?) and, closer to
home, the Tiki Bar opening. The margin is where the action is and where the
cool people hang. Be there or be square.
If youre not there, youre not anywhere.
The margin its all that. Who knew?
Without getting too technical (hopefully) and gouge-your-eyes-out boring,
the margin is about real-time decisionmaking by producers and consumers
and the value measurable or estimated
of those decisions. Marginal cost, a
goods variance in total cost for changes
in quantity, determines if, for example,
a producer should allocate an additional
shift to a manufacturing line. For consumers, marginal utility measures the
benefit joy, fun, practical usage, etc derived from a good. When Mick Jaggar
wails through the Stones classic Satisfaction, hes a man desperate marginal
utility via sex, less commercialism, etc.
Complicating producer and consumer margin-thinking is the law of
diminishing returns/utility. It says that
if Ford blindly adds labor to manufacturing, the labor will gradually lose efficiency and eventually be completely
counter-productive.
Speaking more
plainly, a beer on a warm summers day
is a no-brainer - tremendous marginal
utility/satisfaction; the eighth, though,
may be less refreshing. Alas, more is
not always better.
And then there are the externalities
realized from margin decisions. The
Nats move to D.C. was an economic
boon for MLB and the town, but the
teams presence has created an enormous social benefit a positive externality for the community. Conversely,
our beer drinkers decision to consume
to excess will likely have an adverse impact a negative externality on anyone
in his sloppy, drunken presence.
Thats a bunch of dribble for saying that decisions to do stuff - buy, sell,
produce, consume, play, work, etc or to
not do stuff remain idle, pass, forfeit,
etc have tremendous influence (marginal utility) on our lives and the lives of
those around us (externalities). At this
point I assume the power of the margin
has you researching economic theory

provided youre still awake. Anyway
Margin-based activity does not
normally consume my thoughts (and
so what if it does?). However, recent
considerations of a margin-frequenting
musician and a billionaire owner had
me dusting off old economic lessons (for
good or ill).
The guitar-harmonica-bass wielding rock star is Sheryl Crow, an artist
who didnt achieve mainstream fame until her early thirties (a late bloomer in her
field), overcame breast cancer in 2006
and a scary bout with a benign brain
tumor in 2011. Crow certainly faced
moments on the margin where she questioned her professional future and the
value (or wisdom) of continuing her career. But Crow never let her guitar rest,
a decision that indicates music retained
a marginal utility too great to abandon.
For local fans, the positive externalities
from her determination reached an apex
during a recent concert at the St. Leonard Fire Department. Had Crow chose
differently at the margin, there would
have been no benefit for a worthy local cause, no dancing, no smiles and no
memories. There would have only been
silence.
On the other hand, Daniel Snyder,
billionaire owner of D.C.s professional
football team, isnt navigating the margin with Crows skill. The name of Snyders beloved team is under assault - the
result of rightful social progression, evolution of language and careful consideration of our nations sometimes troubling
history. To date, Snyder has consistently
chosen defiant opposition and refused
meaningful discord. It is an unfortunate
position steeped in misguided nostalgia
and emotion, a flawed formula for the
margin, a place committed to unemotional, unbiased analysis and identifying a moments optimal alternative. The
teams name will change - eventually.
In the meantime, Snyders clenched fist
of skewed pride will create increasingly
greater negative externalities for his organization, its players and fans of professional football.
When navigating the precarious
and powerful margin, I suppose the trick
is to keep your marginal utility in the
black and your externalities positive. Or,
for this article, be like the rock star, not
the billionaire owner.

Add Some Fresh Color

to Kitchen Cabinets
Many
homeowners dream of
giving their kitchens
a full-scale remodel.
Though such a project can give a kitchen an entirely new
look, that look does
not come cheap. According to Remodeling magazine's 2013
"Cost vs. Value Report," homeowners
can expect to spend
more than $53,000
on a major kitchen
remodel and recoup
just below 70 percent
of that cost at resale. So while the idea of
a full-scale kitchen remodel might be a
dream project, the cost of such an undertaking is beyond many homeowners' budgets.
But homeowners who cannot afford a
full remodel can still give their kitchens a
new look and can do so for relatively little
money. Painting kitchen cabinets a new
color or simply giving fading cabinets a
fresh coat of paint can instantly add life to
a kitchen, giving the room an entirely different feel without breaking the bank. The
following are a few tips for homeowners
planning to paint their kitchen cabinets.
Assess your existing cabinets. Some
cabinet materials, including wood and
metal, can be repainted without much of a
fuss. But other materials, including plastic
laminate, are not so amenable to repainting, and will likely require specialty paints.
Homeowners with plastic laminate cabinets should first paint a spot or two with
a sample paint, being careful to choose a
spot that's concealed. If the paint bonds
well to the plastic laminate, then you can
go forward and buy enough paint to redo all
of the cabinets. If the paint does not take,
consult a professional to find a paint that's
likely to be a better fit. Expect this process
to be one of trial and error.
Plan for ornate cabinets to take a
little longer. Painting projects will go faster
when cabinets have flat fronts, but they can
take considerably longer when cabinets are
unique and more detailed. If your cabinets
are ornate, then factor this extra time into
your schedule.
Remove the doors and hardware.
When painting cabinets, it's best to essentially disassemble them, removing the
doors, handles, knobs, latches, and any additional hardware. When removing hardware, be sure to set them aside in clearly
marked plastic bags so it's easier to reassemble the cabinets once the fresh coat of
paint has dried.
As doors are removed, number each
door and its corresponding location, much
like products that require assembly are
numbered at the factory. This makes it easier to reassemble and ensures the cabinets
and their hinges will align properly once
you have finished painting.
Don't paint dirty surfaces. Cabinet
surfaces have likely collected their share

of dirt, grease and grime over the years,
so you want to clean these surfaces thoroughly before painting. Once surfaces have
been cleaned, rinse them off and give them
ample time to dry.
Sand the surfaces. Once the surfaces
have been cleaned and are completely dry,
it's time to start sanding them. Lightly sand
the doors using a wood sanding block,
working to create a firm base to which
fresh paint can easily adhere. Areas that are
most exposed to wear and tear may require
some extra elbow grease, and some areas
may be especially flaky. When old paint
is flaking off, this means the previous finish did not adhere very well to the surface,
which is not necessarily uncommon in
kitchens, where moisture and grease residue can make it harder for paint to adhere
to the surface. In such instances, sand the
flaky areas to the bare wood before spotpriming with a primer or sealer designed
for areas with heavy staining. After all of
the sanding is complete, vacuum the surfaces to ensure there is no leftover sanding
dust before painting.
Apply primer-sealer. Primer-sealer
ensures the fresh paint will bond well to the
surfaces, preventing conditions like flaking
in the future.
Paint the cabinets. After the primersealer has been applied, it's time to paint
the cabinets. Begin with the inside edges
and openings of the face frames, followed
by the outer cabinet sides and then the front
of the frames. Then move on to the cabinet doors and any drawer fronts you might
be painting as well. Cabinets with more
elaborate designs require closer attention
to detail than flat cabinets. When painting,
opt for thin coats, which dry more quickly
and also create fewer visible brushstrokes.
When applying multiple coats, allow the
paint ample time to dry between coats.
Four hours between coats is a good rule of
thumb, and lightly resand all surfaces before applying the second and final coat of
paint.
Reassemble the cabinets. Once the
final coat of paint has fully dried, carefully
reassemble your cabinets and then enjoy
the fresh and inexpensive new look that
your freshly painted cabinets have created.

A Journey Through Time

Mt. Zion Methodist
Church at Laurel Grove
The
Chronicle
By Linda Reno
Contributing Writer
Mt. Zion Methodist Church at Laurel Grove will be celebrating the centennial anniversary of the dedication of the sanctuary this Sunday, June 29th
with two special worship services at 8:30 a.m. and 11:00 a.m.
The first sanctuary, built in the early 1830s*, was destroyed by fire. In
November 1913, 1 acres of land adjoining the church property was acquired from Edward St. Clair and his wife, Clara (Insley) Buckler. Daniel
Thomas Dixon offset part of the purchase price with a $500 donation while
Mr. and Mrs. Buckler absorbed the remainder of the cost. Robert Lafayette Lafe Graves was
employed to build the church and on Dec. 21, 1913 the cornerstone was laid with appropriate services. On June 28th 1914 the new church was officially dedicated. The final cost for the building
was $4,846.82.
A few things have changed since that dedication day in 1914. The clear glass sash windows
were replaced with stained glass in 1959. The main worship area was enlarged by removing
the glass French doors that once separated the old Sunday School room from the main worship
area. Formerly, heat was provided by a wood furnace in the cellar (and if you didnt fire up the
old wood furnace just right it would smoke up the church) and a pot-bellied stove located in the
old Sunday School room. A new oil furnace was installed in 1954.
Indoor plumbing didnt arrive until 1957 and coincided with the addition of a new Sunday
School room (now the location of the church office).
Lighting was originally provided by carbide lights. A plant that generated the carbide was
located by the privies and fed the carbide through pipes to the lights inside. These were later replaced with kerosene lamps that were used until conversion to electric lighting in the 1930s. Air
Conditioning didnt arrive until the 1980s.

Until then, you opened the windows and
doors, prayed for a breeze or created your
own with that little hand-held fan on a
stick.
Remarkably though, after 100 years
the church still looks pretty very much
like it did back in 1914, except for the addition of a few modern conveniences and
alterations and the roof, originally metal,
is now covered with asphalt shingles.
What hasnt changed?--The sense
of community, family traditions, and the
commitment and dedication of the members of the church. Not to be overlooked is the warmth
and friendliness extended to members and non-members alike regardless of their religious
persuasion.
*The earliest burial in the church yard that has been found to date is that of Lydia Bennett.
Church records indicate she died October 26, 1837, at the age of 64. Lydia, whose maiden name
is not known, had been married first to Stephen Jones prior to 1795 (her second husband was
Gerard Bennett whom she married in 1815) and they had at least five sons, one of whom was Miley Jones, who with James Joy, was one of the founders of Joy Methodist Chapel in Hollywood.

From my Backyard to our Bay

A St. Marys County Residents Guide to Improving Our Environment and Drinking Water
From My Backyard
to Our Bay was first
developed by the Baltimore
County Soil Conservation
District. From there, the
booklet was given to each
of the Soil Conservation
Districts in the Chesapeake
Bay watershed area for
customization. If the 17.5
million residents who live in
the watershed area of the
Chesapeake Bay read this
booklet, and took to heart
its suggestions and best
practices, the Chesapeake
Bay would see a dramatic
increase in health. Obtain
a FREE copy of the
booklet by going to the St.
Marys River Watershed
Association, smrwa.org and
downloading it. The booklet
is available at Wentworth
Nursery in Charlotte Hall;
Chicken Scratch in Park
Hall; The Greenery in
Hollywood; Good Earth
Natural Food; and the St.
Marys Soil Conservation
District in Leonardtown.
Join your local watershed
association and make a
difference for Our Bay!
smrwa.org
Household Best Management Practices
Instead of From My Backyard to Our Bay, this booklet could easily be titled From My Lifestyle to Our Bay. Earlier we mentioned ways we all can
cut down on water use as a way to relieve the strain on the Bay. Many other things we all can do in our daily lives will have an effect on our Bay.
Energy Conservation
Scientists tell us that about 25% of the
excess nutrients entering the Chesapeake Bay come from air pollution that is
deposited on the land and then washed
into the Bays tributaries. Where does
that air pollution come from?
The great majority of air pollution comes
from motor vehicles and from coal-fired
power plants that produce the electricity
we all use. As the demand for energy
increases in the United States along with
population and development, it is important for individuals to begin conserving
energy. Every household and every family can help reduce energy demand and
the flow of pollutants to the Bay.
Tips for Conserving Energy

Turn off the lights.
Keep doors, windows, and drapes
closed when running the air conditioning; keep drapes open during the day
when running the heat.
If your air conditioning unit is old,

consider replacing it. A new energyefficient model could save up to 50%
on your electricity bill.
Replace old heating/air units with
high-efficiency geothermal systems.
Air dry dishes instead of using the drying cycle on your dishwasher.
Clean the lint filter in the clothes dryer
after every load to improve circulation.
Consider buying a laptop for your next
computer; laptops use less energy.
Plug appliances and electronics such
as TVs and DVD players into powerstrips. When the appliance is not in
use, turn off the power strip. Appliances still use energy when plugged
in and not in use. Twenty percent of a
typical Americans electric bill is from
appliances.
Replace conventional thermostat with
a programmable thermostat. In winter,
reducing your thermostat from 72 to
68 degrees for 8 hours a day (when at
work) can lower heating bill 10%.
Lighting accounts for 15% of house-
hold electricity use. Fluorescent bulbs

reduce energy use by 75% and last
10 times longer than incandescent
bulbs. Since fluorescent bulbs contain
mercury, dispose of them properly
during biannual hazardous waste collection days.
Windows account for the majority of
heat loss. Consider replacing old or
inefficient windows with new energyefficient types.
Consult your local power company
for information on online or in-home
energy audits.

Temptations Alive
Auditions for Summer Production

of The Tempest on Saturday
By Emily Charles
Contributing Writer
To be or not to be? That is the question. And if
you love Shakespeare, theatre troupe Shakespeare in
the Woods might just give you the answer.
Shakespeare in the Woods was founded about a
month and a half ago by Andrew Rogers and Jennifer
Linhart Wood, according to Rogers. It is a nonprofit
group sponsored by St. Paul United Methodist Church
in Lusby. While the troupe is young and blooming, the
founders hold great hope for the future, Rogers said.
As preparations for the debut performance of The
Tempest continue, Rogers and Wood are working
hard to organize the group, making decisions concerning how the group will be financially supported in later
days, Rogers said.
Performances are scheduled for Aug. 7 to 9 at St.
Paul United Methodist Church.
The play involves a duke and his daughter who are
usurped from their esteemed positions by the rightful
dukes brother. Youre invited to join the duke in his
adventure as he works to restore his position and his
daughters reputation. Be sure to keep an eye out for
more details.
Inspired by a love for Shakespeare, Shakespeare
in the Woods is meant to reach out to those who share
a similar love, and anyone is welcome to try their hand
on the stage, Rogers said.

The group is holding auditions for The Tempest
at Southern Community Center, located at 45 Appeal
Lane in Lusby. The first round of auditions was held
on Saturday, June 21. The second round will be held on
June 28 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Auditions are free and open to the public. Actors
are asked to prepare a short monologue to recite during
their auditions.

involved, contact Andrew Rogers at andy.rogers@rogersenvironmental.com.

Book Review
The Lost Art of Dress
c.2014 Basic Books

$28.99 / $32.00 Canada
347 pages
by Linda Przybyszewski
By Terri Schlichenmeyer
OW contributor
Your mama dressed you funny.

She couldnt help it, though: frou-frou garments with bows and buttons,
snaps and poufs, polka-dots and ruffles were all that were available when you
were a child.
And besides, you were so darn cute
At least, thats what Grandma said. But what the heck was she wearing
and why? Read The Lost Art of Dress by Linda Przybyszewski and find out.
Back at the turn of the last century, when more people lived in rural areas
than in cities, the Secretary of Agriculture, David F. Houston, grew concerned
that farm life was uncomfortable. He sent out a survey to farmwives and was
surprised to learn that fashion and art were important to them.
In 1914, the USDA answered rural pleas for help through state-run public
programs called cooperatives. Co-ops allowed an influential group of female
experts to teach women and girls, among other things, how to stretch a dollar and to look their best doing it. Przybyszewski calls those experts Dress
Doctors.
This came at a time when fashion was simple: there was a dress for church
and a dress for everyday. Two dresses were all that most farmwomen had and,
when the Depression hit, they were furthermore tasked with clothing family
members on less than a dollar apiece for the entire year. The Dress Doctors had
a fix for that.
Through classes, pamphlets, and books they penned, the Dress Doctors
showed that dressing well was relatively easy. They weighed in on thrift, using
whatever fabric was at-hand, repurposing garments, and getting todays look
with pieces of yesterdays dresses.
In the post-War years, the Dress Doctors tried to get women to settle on
a standard style, believing that ever-changing fashion was frivolous. They instructed readers to find comfortable shoes, and they explained how to wear one
suit to work for up to three weeks. They advised against pants. They taught
women mostly women of European descent - about hygiene, modesty, proper times to wear gloves, right ways to find a flattering hat, and what colors to
wear or not.
But by the early 1960s, fashion changed radically. Frumpy was out, replaced with miniskirts and jeans. Corset use was dying. Dressing your age was
dead. And so, it seemed, was the usefulness of Dress Doctor advice
So you havent a thing to wear?
Then prepare to feel ashamed, says author Linda Przybyszewski. And
prepare to be at least a little bit wistful about bygone fashions, too, because
The Lost Art of Dress is surprisingly sentimental.
And yet this book isnt about going back in time, clothes-wise. Indeed,
Przybyszewski agrees with her Dress Doctors sometimes, but she also sprinkles history and humor in between modern advice here, entertaining as she
instructs. That makes this book freshly nostalgic and enormous fun, kind of
like finding piles of old womens magazines in Grandmas attic.
And so, when it comes to fashion, stop worrying and read this book. For
modern-day fashionistas who sometimes love a good throw-back, The Lost
Art of Dress has that all buttoned up.
Sunday at the Museum

of Abundance

My father is a foodie of the serious
sort. Thinking about food, talking about
food, preparing food, and, of course, eating food: these are the things that occupy a good bit of his
time. He looks at food the way other people view football,
or stamp collecting, or shopping for shoes: its a hobby,
and even a passion.
Its not that he doesnt have other interests. Hes a
pilot: hes always been happiest several thousand feet up
in the air. He builds airplanesthe real kindand for a
time he performed aerobatic maneuvers in a fiberglass
plane he built. He also loves to read, and travel, and he has
a slightly over-the-top but completely lovable couponing
habit.
Food, though, runs through the heart of every one
of his other interests. A trip to his hangar in Frederick
means a stop at the gourmet market nearby to pick up the
perfect bagel. When he recounts his travels to France, the
stories include how good the croissants were at the airport; how the sweetbreads at an inn built into a cave in
Les Baux were the best hed ever had; how a challenging
drive up the coast in the rain almost resulted in a missed
reservation in Normandy at a place that only seats 10 and
is known for its foie gras. Glance at the pile of books hes
currently reading and youll find one about a group of
chefs who brought the farm-to-table movement to the restaurant industry, and another that skewers a famous real-
ity television chef. Even the charities he donates to reflect

his passion for food: each year his main donation goes to
the Maryland Food Bank. His typically understated explanation? Food is important to me, he says, so I figure its
important to other people, too.
I mention all of this as a way of explaining why,
several weeks ago, we agreed to set aside last Sunday
morning for a trip to a grocery store, whether we needed groceries or not. Not too long ago, it turns out, Wegmans came to the town where my dad lives. They held
an opening day fit for a stadium, with a nearly equivalent
crowd, but if youve never heard of Wegmans, as I hadnt,
its like a museum for foodies, except you can buyand
then eatall the displays. It is the perfect Sunday morning destination if you want to worship at the altar of justbaked pastries, sing the praises of thirty kinds of olives,
pass the collection plate to gather enough to afford the
cases of designer pomegranate water stacked up by the
hundreds.
And speaking of cases, nothing illustrates Wegmans
better than the small, pebble-filled glass case with a builtin lock on the top. Youre strolling along, surrounded by
mountains of mushrooms, when you see the case: nestled
inside on the little rocks are black truffles, bargain-priced
at $999.99 per pound. Yes: you read that right. Im guessing I dont need to explain the lock.
After studying the truffles for awhile, we meandered
through the aisles nearby. Maybe the scent of the freshlybaked almond croissants that were just coming from the
huge bakery ovens went to my head: I found myself wondering if theres a black market for truffles. I imagined a
fencing operation run by tough characters with excellent

taste in food; I thought about foraging pigs-gone-bad selling off the luxurious food to furtive guys in trench coats
who would meet them under a bridge somewhere at night
and exchange a baggie of truffles for a suitcase full of unmarked bills. But I digress; like I said, maybe it was the
almond fumes.
When we left the store after an hour or so, I was
pleasantly overwhelmed with the scents of exotic spices
and the sight of so much food. I was reminded of what
an incredible gift it is to be able to go to sleep at night
with a full stomach and awake in the morning not wondering whether there will be food for my family that day.
We occupy a far different world than the 1% that wastes
more money in a year than Ill ever earn, but when it
comes to food, we arewithout a doubtsurrounded by
abundance.
Driving home, I was aware of my good fortune but
also conscious of fate or the universe or karmawhatever you might call itand how it had led to my familys
full table. Being born into a country and a family where
there is abundance and opportunity is, in so many ways,
just an accident of birth.
There was only one thing I could think of to express
my gratitude. When I got home, I went online to the
Maryland Food Bank, and bought another family a trip
to the museum.

Being in
Good Humor
By Shelby Oppermann
Contributing Writer
Last night I found myself outside anxiously awaiting the sound of

the Good Humor Man rounding the
corner in our neighborhood. I felt that
same tingle of excitement that I did
when I was a child in Clinton. There is
something about getting an ice cream
bar or a push-up after playing hard or
exploring on a hot summer day. Oh,
you thought I was getting myself an
ice cream? No, I was just waiting with the neighbor children and
their grandmother, but it was still exciting to me. I was wishing I
had a few dollars in my pocket to buy a chocolate ice cream bar.
You know the kind with the hard chocolate center on the stick.
Gosh I love those.
I dont know if Mr. Softee ever had ice cream trucks running
in St. Marys County. I mainly remember them from vacations in
Virginia Beach, Virginia. That was the first time I had tasted soft
custard ice cream I believe. The Mr. Softee trucks used to make
runs through the Virginia Beach KOA (Kampgrounds of America) where we often stayed in the 1970s in our camper trailer. My
Mother never liked their custard and thought it tasted salty. I loved
it.
When researching about Good Humor and ice cream, I found
that there have been several legal battles the company has had to
face over the years. The inventor of the Eskimo Pie (1919) which
pre-dated Good Humor (1920) by one year, became involved in a
patent dispute with Good Humor. When Good Humor found that
ice cream and chocolate could be adhered to a stick they applied
for a patent. But the patent office felt that the bars resembled the
Eskimo Pies too closely. It wasnt until Harry Burt, the inventor
of The Good Humor Bar, personally took his ice cream bar to the
patent office that it was decided there was a difference between the
two frozen treats.
A few years after this dispute, Harry Burt and family sued the
Popsicle corporation for stealing their frozen treat on a stick idea.
This was all settled out of court with all parties being allowed to
make their treats. But, I thought it was sad and a little disillusioning
to find out that ice cream companies were battling amongst themselves. Thats why its great being a child you are oblivious to all
this information. You just want the ice cream!!!
The past few weeks have helped me get my fill of ice cream
for a while. We have had several family birthdays and events which
required eating ice cream. And, for some reason, my husband
and I have a tradition of getting ice cream after we eat steamed
crabs. We have been to the old Twin Kiss in White Plains several
times, Burts 50s Diner in Mechanicsville (a staple in the summer),
Ritas in Charlotte Hall and in Solomons, and of course there is
usually frozen yogurt or Talenti Double Chocolate Gelato in the
freezer.
I really love Ritas frozen soft custard it reminds me of those
old Virginia Beach vacations. But, of course I have a favorite at
each ice cream location. Last Sunday was my birthday and the family took me to Veras White Sands for dinner, which was delicious
though I do miss Vera. I framed a painting of her in a Belly Dance
costume for her once and Vera gave me a very unusual guided tour
of her house. Most people dont have a pool in the middle of their
living room. Anyway, after that we went to Ritas in Solomons, and
the owner who is also a dear friend fell in love with our grandson
Liam, took pictures, and I think has made him her unofficial mascot. Im happy another ice cream lover to carry on the family
tradition!

What are the seven worst ingredients found in food?
Why are these seven ingredients so bad?
Not everyone is concerned
about their diet and many believe if
the government has not banned an
ingredient, it is okay for it to be present in our food.
Unfortunately there are seven ingredients that absolutely affect your health. So if you are not
ready to do a complete overhaul of your diet,
maybe you would consider at least starting with the
elimination of the seven nastiest ingredients found
in our food.
1). Artificial sweeteners are basically designer
drugs; even the smallest amount has an affect on
your body. A little poison is still poison. Replace all
artificial sweeteners with healthier alternatives like
stevia. Many artificial sweeteners have been linked
to brain dysfunction and muscle soreness. There
is a possibility that diagnoses of Lymes and other
muscle diseases may not actually be the disease but
a build up of artificial sweeteners in the body.
2). Monosodium glutamate (MSG) in even the
smallest amount can affect your body on a cellular
level. It is often a catalyst for migraines.
3). Artificial colors clog cellular function, are
often found to be allergens, especially to young
children. Despite the data showing reactions to the
human body, our government still allows its use.
4). Synthetic Trans Fats are most often found in
ALL fried fast food. The oils utilized by these establishments are heated continuously to high temperatures and used over and over. In addition, they
usually have antifoaming agents added to them
which are also unhealthy to the body.
5). Artificial Flavors are molecules that are foreign to the body. Since the body only recognizes
natural molecules, they often create negative reactions. These reactions may be so subtle that they
go unnoticed, but that doesnt mean theyre good
to consume. Artificial molecules are toxins to the
body and create stress on those organs responsible
for their removal.
6). Preservatives are so bad that even when

the body removes them and places them in your
urine, they are now being found in our water tables.
They do not breakdown very well and accumulate
even once removed from the body. The process to
remove them from our body places stress on your
liver and kidneys. They affect cellular function and
are toxic to the body.
7). High Fructose Corn Syrup is still present
in many foods even though there has been plenty
of press over the years expressing concern about it.
Some companies have removed it from their products but often replace it with a new sugar alternative that can be just as bad. High fructose corn syrup is addictive. It seems to have a greater negative
affect on our children those insulin sensitivity is
quite different than an adult. Often the removal of
this ingredient helps to control weight.

WERE HARD AT WORK

HERE EVERY DAY.
Southern Marylands dedication to safety, security and
pulling together is bringing even more jobs to the area.
Some of us pull nets from the Bay. Some pull food and feed from the
ground. And some pull the promise of an entire community behind them.
But we all pull together to build our futurebecause were Marylanders.
Nearly 6 million strong, were the muscle and brainpower of a sturdy,
hard-working region thats proudly diverse and proudly united, with
communities inspired by the past and excited for the future. And our
dedication to hard work, safety and security is bringing even more jobs
and economic opportunities to Southern Maryland. Like the ones at
Dominions Cove Point LNG project.
In fact, during the three-year period when it will be built, Dominions

Cove Point project will produce thousands of construction jobs. And once
in operation, it will create 75 high-paying permanent positions, as well
as provide a long-term revenue stream. Calvert County will receive, on
average, an additional $40 million a year in the rst ve years the project
is in operation.
So take a look around. Because when you do, youll see people taking
care of our environment, taking care of our country and taking care of
each other. We call it Maryland pride.
