In addition, VA briefings to the TriCounty Council Veterans Regional Advisory Committee on the progress of the
CBOC have been inconsistent and frustrating, Hoyer continued in his letter to
McDonald.
According to VA documents issued
to property owners locally, the CBOC is
proposed to be 17,741 square-feet in footprint size; the VA documents stated that
they may consider other sites that they find
appropriate.
The four preliminary selections are the
result of a market survey the VA conducted
in May of last year, documents showed.
The first property is located near the intersection of Three Notch Road and Charlotte Hall Road. Its just under 22 acres in
size with 11 acres available for development, the second is located on Charlotte
Hall Road and is 5.6 acres in size.
The third site is located on Three Notch
Road in Charlotte Hall about one-quarter
mile off of the main road and is just over
three acres in size.
The final site is also located on Three
Notch Road and is 7.8 acres in size; its part
of a 57.5-acre site that is set for development fo the Charlotte Hall Commerce Center, according to VA documents.

Local Inventor,
University Partner On
Prosthetic Development
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
Four years ago
Leonardtown resident Brian Jordan
had a catastrophic
accident in which he
lost portions of several of his fingers but
it only inspired him
to find an answer to
a new problem in
hislife.
A navy veteran
and engineer, he
quickly got to work
on assembling a
prosthetic finger that
would restore much
of the dexterity he lost when a mishap with
a table saw cut them off.
Now he has found help in a big way by
partnering with a branch of the University
of Maryland the MakerBot Innovation
Center to make more advanced prototypes for smaller prosthetics.
Theyre helping me with the design,
Jordan told The County Times. Theyre
3D printing some prototypes and we hope
to have a finished product at the end of the
summer.
Jordans prototypes resemble a skeletonized, jointed finger that fits over the remnant of his natural finger; with the 3D printing technology they can now rapidly create
new prototype designs to see which works
better.
The computer design and engineering
available at the Makerbot labs also made
it easier to predict how a particular prototype would work before it was actually
manufactured.

I wasnt sure if wed ever get one down
here again, it sure has been a long time. Were
the words from Waldorf Marylands Kenny
Moreland after scoring his first Potomac Late
Model feature win of the season last Friday
night. Morelands $2500 win, which came in
his Rocket XR-! no.24, was his 7th career Potomac win and his first since the 2013 season.
Moreland and Nick Davis paced the field to
green with Davis zipping into the top spot as
the field went hard into turn one. A lap three
caution played a role in the outcome of the
event. Moreland was scored the leader of lap
three, but spun on his own in turn two at the
completion of the lap. However, Moreland
kept his foot in the gas and did not stop, keeping him in the race lead. Moreland would
then eventually pace the remaining circuits,
but would have to repel the repeated advances
from a pesky Dale Hollidge who arrived in
the runner up spot on lap nine. Our car was
a bit free tonight, but I knew if I held my line,
Dale (Hollidge) would have a tough time getting by us on the outside. Moreland stated
post race. We pretty much do this deal out
of our own pocket and to get a win for all
the people whove helped us this season is a
great feeling. I just hope this isnt our last.
Jason Covert came home third, Jamie Lathroum took fourth with Daryl Hills rounding
out the top five. Heats went to Nick Davis and
JasonCovert.

out. The third pillow, the kind of neck pillows usually sold in airport shops, was used
to support her neck. Then she would put the
second blanket on top of her upper body
before the dialysis began. When it did,
her blood would flow through a dialyzer
to be cleaned. When the blood returned to
her body, it was cooled and always made
her feel increasingly cold as the process
wenton.
I was always cold. Its a cold you can
never get rid of, Hudson said. She sometimes shivered under the blanket.
When she reflected on her 18 months on
dialysis, she said she felt like her life was
rotten. Dialysis does the kidneys job to
filter waste and unwanted fluid to keep the
patients alive, but it is far from a replacement for a kidney. The process of dialysis
can be excruciating for many and often
leaves the patients too exhausted to work
or enjoy life. Most disheartening of all, less
than half of dialysis patients survive more
than five years. For many, it is a steppingstone for a kidney transplant - their pathway back to a normal, productive life.
When Hudson was on
dialysis, she was too tired
to read or even play video
games on her phone. She
felt her mind was dialyzed
along with her blood and
stayed jumbled the whole
time. What made things
a little better was making
friends with those who
were going through the
same struggle. When she
found out that her husband
was a suitable donor and
was getting ready for her
second transplant, some
were sad to see her leave.
But at the same time,
they were happy for me,

ington, DC. I remember driving up to Upper Marlboro to visit him at his dealership
one Saturday in 2001 only to learn he took
the day off to go visit sick children at Childrens Hospital in DC. While I stood in his
office, I was amazed to see the number of
awards and citations he earned not only as
a salesman, but as a charity volunteer fund
raiser throughout the metropolitan area.
He was the Top Salesman of the Year at
County Chrysler from 1999 thru 2001. He
had proclamations from Prince Georges
County, keys to cities and even had November 7, 1985 declared as Chief Zee Day in
Washington, DC. And, along with my fellow Hogettes and myself, he was inducted
into the Pro Football Hall of Fame as the
biggest fans of the Washington Redskins!
Yet, despite his well deserved reputation
and love from his great fan base, life was
not always easy for Zee. He seldom spoke
of his family life; he fathered nine children who love him, but their mothers, not
so much. He said the fame of being The
Chief cost him his family life and looking back, I think it played havoc in his inability to balance his public and private image. For years he met with criticism for his
decision to portray an Indian Chief replete
with a headdress of his own making. Many
Native Americans were taken back with his
use of the headdress as it is a central cultural item for many tribes. Many people,
including members of his own race have
said they find his portrayal of an American Indian to be offensive. The truth be
known, Zemas grandmother is claimed to
have been a full blooded Seminole Indian.
I try not to take sides in these situations
when an apparent majority of folks support
those of us who are just trying to help people less fortunate than themselves through
use of an original idea or gimmick meets
with opposition. A survey conducted by
the University of Pennsylvania and reported in Sports Illustrated several years
ago asked 768 Native Americans if they
thought the term Redskin was discriminatory. Surprisingly, the results showed
only 9% of the respondents felt that way,
however 50% of these same folks felt those
mascots in granny dresses, wigs, white
bonnets and pig snouts were disgusting!
The article was accompanied by a photo
of Big Georgette and myself standing
behind the Pig Pen sign at FedEx! Isnt
America great! Where else can you and
your critics have the freedom and ability to
express yourselves in ways and means you
see fit!
Continuing on with some of the low
points in Zees public life, many of you
may remember the time he was set upon by
Giant fans and pushed down an escalator
at Giants Stadium, the same venue where
fans are known to throw snowballs at Santa
Claus. Further, he was attacked by green
shirted thugs in the Veterans Stadium parking lot following a big Redskins victory
over the Eagles in 1983. He was beaten to
the point of unconsciousness. His original
costume was torn and his leg was broken
and he was left lying in his underwear. He
had to spend several days in a hospital there
in the City of Brotherly Love! He later lost
a big toe to an operation gone wrong when
a blood clot formed. Some may remember
CBS Channel 9
covered the story
and interviewed
the Chief in
his hospital room
with his visitors
Stoneyette and
Hog Ed from
the
Hogettes.
Following that
latest setback,
you could spot
Zee
cruising
around FedEx
Field in a motorized scooter purchased for him
by Dan Snyder.
I could write so much more about this
great legend; my greatest memory of Zee
will always be the times when he and his
good friend, Cowboy Crazy Ray would
get together for their bi annual scrum during the Redskins and Cowboy games each
year. They were great friends and hosted
one another whenever their great rivals
met!
Whether you liked him or not, Chief
Zee made a difference for a great many
fans. He was unique and he bought a lot
of fun for our Skins during the good days
as well as the bad times. Rest in Peace my

BLEACHERS
Unlikely Prudence
Washington QB Kirk Cousins pocketed
$2.7M total during his first four years in the
NFL. This coming season alone, Cousins
will earn $19.953M on a one-year franchise
tag.
Despite the unimaginable raise, the
prevailing suggestion, given the lucrative
quarterback marketplace, is that Cousins
should be insulted by the teams disrespect
of his talent.
His accomplishments are inarguable: In
2015, the final year of his rookie contract,
Cousins led Washington to a division title,
set a single-season franchise record for
passing yards and provided a definitive exit
from the disastrous Robert Griffin III era.
And for all this, Cousins got rewarded
with a prove-it-again deal. Preposterous.
Washington should have showered Cousins with a long-term contract and football
riches reserved only for elite quarterbacks.
Instead, the organization slapped Cousins
with the one-year franchise tag and ultimately failed to reach a multi-year contract
extension by the July 15 deadline.
Washington did Captain Kirk dirty.
Thats the rhetoric being spewed by
many media spin doctors. The reality is
theres nothing to see here. Two entities

Selected Forgetfulness
How funny is memory? How many
times have you been in a conversation with
someone from your past and mentioned
something you all did together, and the
other person says, Wow, you have a great
memory, I dont remember us doing that
at all. Maybe you havent had that happen. This happens to me all the time with
friends all the way back to elementary
school, or friends even more recent. Sometimes its me and sometimes its them. Of
course, I can understand the more recent
times if there is wine or wineries involved.
Even more recently I understand having no
memory of anything because of a certain
new puppy.
What I dont understand is memory and
married couples, or those in a committed
relationship. You are together EVERY day.
How can you each not remember everything that happens to you. I suppose people
that have been married over 20 or 30 years
