CommIssioners Seek Large
Salary Hike for Sheriff
By Dick Myers
Editor
The Calvert County Board of County
Commissioners (BOCC) has taken the
unusual action of requesting a much larg-
er salary increase for the sheriff than what
was recommended by the board convened
to study elected ofcials compensation.
Sheriff Mike Evans currently makes
$90,480 a year. Beginning after the next
election the commissioners will recom-
mend to the county legislative delegation
that the salary be increased to $128,219
and remain at that pay during the sheriffs
next term.
Compensation Review Board Chair-
man Gregory Kernan and Vice Chairman
Anthony DeStefano gave the commis-
sions report to the BOCC. That report
recommended increasing the sheriffs
salary to $94,000 in December of 2017
and then in annual increments to $98,000,
$102,000 and $106,000.
The BOCC, which includes three for-
mer police ofcers, noted the danger and
responsibility of the sheriffs 24/7/365 job.
Commissioner Mike Hart said Calvert is
the safest county in the state yet the sher-
iffs salary wasnt competitive. His mo-
tion placed the sheriffs salary on a scale
with the Maryland State Police.
The compensation commission recom-
mended the rst salary increase for the
BOCC in 12 years. The proposal was for
a scaled increase to $43,500 after the next
election and then in successive years to
$45,00, $46,500 and $48,000. The recom-
mendation was for the commissioners
president to make $2,5000 more each
year. The commissioners currently make
Planners Okay Recreation Center Site
By Dick Myers
Editor
A site apparently has been found for
a permanent Harriet t Elizabeth Brown
Recreation Center. The Calvert County
Planning Commission at its Aug. 16 meet-
ing gave its blessing to the county purchas-
ing ve adjacent tracts on the east side of
Fairground Road in Prince Frederick. The
parcels total 27.3 acres
The recreation/community center is
currently in a temporary location at the
former SMECO building on Dares Beach
Road. One of the parcels being consid-
ered for the new center abuts the former
SMECO property. The ve parcels are be-
tween that and the Prince Frederick Park
and Ride.
It is one of the best locations we have
ever found for a government site, Depart-
ment of Planning and Zoning Transporta-
tion Principal Planner Pat Haddon enthu-
siastically told the planners.
Haddon and Director of General Ser-
vices V. Wilson Freeland made the pre-
sentation to the planning commission.
In response to a question about potential
hazardous waste on the site adjacent to the
SMECO property, Freeland said the op-
tion agreement for the site would include a
determination of that.
The center will be named after lo-
cal civil rights legend Harriett Elizabeth

$42,000 a year.
Commissioner Mike Hart initially ar-
gued for the imposition of the full amount
of $48,000 immediately in the rst year
instead of scaling it in over four years.
DeStefano said there was a lot of discus-
sion about that in the commission but in
the end, it was decided that easing in the
salary increase would be more palatable to
the electorate.
But he did indicate that the commission
felt the BOCC needed to be better com-
pensated. We feel you are doing a great
service to the county, DeStefano said.
Hart noted he wasnt doing it for the sal-
ary being able to serve in his hometown
was like being in a movie.
Commissioner Vice President Evan
Slaughenhoupt, Jr. noted that the BOCC
recommended against a commissioner
salary increase four years ago. It looked
like it was going to be a at economy,
he said, but now he said the forecasts are
rosier.
Commissioner Pat Nutter said, I think
there is no greater honor than to be a com-
missioner in this county. Although he
said he didnt need it for himself, Nutter
wondered if the salary was preventing oth-
ers from running. That trepidation caused
him to be the only one to vote against the
motion to adopt the compensation com-
missions recommendation for the BOCC.
The BOCC recommendations will now
go to the county legislative delegation to
be part of the legislative package to be

Miller Criticizes Hogan Over Taney Statue Removal
to the State House Trust. This was cer-

as a Jacksonian Democrat against a
central Bank of America which he be-
lieved was beholden to foreign interests
and had abused its powers. Taney was
appointed as the first Catholic Justice
and first and only Maryland Chief Jus-
tice of the United States Supreme Court
and served from 1836 to 1864 under six
Presidents, including Abraham Lin-
coln. As The New York Times wrote in
his 1864 obituary, Had it not been for
his unfortunate Dred Scott decision,
all would admit that he had through all
those years, nobly sustained his high
office.
Few people are aware of Taneys
prior anti-slavery words and actions and
that unlike George Washington who
freed his slaves upon his death, Taney
freed his slaves early in his life. In 1806,
he married Anne Charlton Key, sister
of Francis Scott Key. As described by
author Timothy Huebner in an article
in the Journal of American History,
at that time Taney entered a circle of
young, reform-minded Marylanders
who sought to protect free blacks from
kidnapping and alleviate the harshness
of slavery. Both Taney and Francis Scott
Key joined an anti-kidnapping society
and developed reputations for their will-
ingness to argue cases for the benefit of
slaves and free blacks. In representing
an abolitionist minister, Taney called
slavery a blot on our national char-
acter saying that every real lover of
freedom confidently hopes that it will be
effectively, though it must be gradually,
wiped away.
As notable as Taneys com-
plex history, is the history of this very
discussion in Maryland which many ap-
pear to have forgotten. When we com-
missioned the statue to honor Justice
Thurgood Marshall, it was a very public
and purposeful compromise to give bal-
ance to the State House grounds recog-
nizing our State and our Country have
a flawed history. As Delegate Howard
Pete Rawlings who helped to craft the
compromise said, You want people
to be aware of your past and also your
future. We needed Taney to stay where
he was to show the dichotomy between
Taney and Marshall. With Taney gone,
you wouldnt have that.

A 2007 Washington Post
editorial opposed removal of Taney
statues at that time saying, Memori-
als are meant to cause reflection and
not always celebration or even respect.
The Taney statues should remain but be
supplemented with signs explaining the
significance of Taneys contributions
to American law, warts and all. More,
rather than less, education about the past
is always a good thing. Dred Scotts
descendant, Dred Scott Madison II,
told The Washington Post at that time,
If you move it, where do you end
Its part of American history. You cant
hide it. I continue to agree with both of
these sentiments.
Roger Brooke Taney was not
a Confederate officer and he remained
loyal to the Union until his death in
1864. Many historians have debated
the conflicting anti-slavery words and
works of Roger Brooke Taney, the Fred-
erick County Attorney and the man who
authored the Dred Scott decision. As a
student of history, I personally believe
as the New York Times opined in 1864
that That decision itself, wrong as it
was, did not spring from a corrupt or
malignant heart. It came, we have the
charity to believe, from a sincere desire
to compose, rather than exacerbate, sec-
tional discord. But yet it was none the
less an act of supreme folly, and its shad-
ow will ever rest on his memory.
But regardless of ones posi-
tion on this issue, it is insulting to our
citizens for the State House Trust to
vote on such a matter outside of the pub-
lic eye. At a minimum, debate should
have been allowed and each member of
the State House Trust should have been
allowed the opportunity to explain our
vote, as it takes place in both the Mary-
land Senate and the House of Delegates.
We should have and continue to have
public conversation about difficult is-
sues facing our country. A full discus-
sion of each of our reasons for support-
ing either removal or retention of the
statue as well as the complex history of
this man and our state would only have
added to the public conversation and un-
derstanding. Voting on this matter by
email was just plain wrong.

Hogan Orders New State
Development Plan
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
Gov. Larry Hogan signed an ex-
ecutive order this weekend calling
for a new plan to guide development
throughout the state but with a re-
newed emphasis on local needs and
restoring local controls over growth.
Hogan spoke about the executive
order in his speech to the Maryland
Association of Counties (MaCO)
annual meeting in Ocean City, cit-
ing concerns of local elected leaders
from around the state that prior state-
wide plans took little interest in local
prerogatives.
As I have traveled across Mary-
land, local elected officials have re-
peatedly asked for a plan that better
reflects the needs of our state, Hogan
said. One that will improve coordi-
nation between state agencies and lo-
cal governments, support thoughtful
growth and infrastructure planning,
stimulate economic development and
revitalization in existing and planned
communities, and will conserve and
enhance the states natural and cul-
tural resources.
Hogan pledged that the process to
come up with the new plan would be
inclusive of local governments and re-
turn planning control to them.
This new process will be transpar-
ent and collaborative with the primary
goal of creating a better framework for
a better Maryland, Hogan said. And
this time, the state will work closely
with citizens, counties, and local
jurisdictions.
Most importantly, we will finally
put local planning authority back
into the hands of local governments

Most Major Subdivisions Still
Not Allowed
Planners Agree to Fix the Problem
By Dick Myers
Editor
Major subdivisions in areas of Calvert
County without central water and sewer
service are still prohibited. The Calvert
Count Board of County Commissioners
(BOCC) thought they had corrected the
problem several months ago. It now ap-
pears they were wrong.
Deputy County Attorney John Mat-
tingly explained the problem to the plan-
ning commission at their Aug. 16 meet-
ing. He said that the state law called the
Sustainable Growth and Agricultural
Protection Act of 2012 created a tier sys-
tem. Counties were required to divide
their land into four tiers:
Tier I: Areas currently served
bysewer.
Tier II: Future Growth Areas planned
for sewer.
Tier III: Large Lot Development and
Rural Villages on septic systems
Tier IV: Preservation and Conser-
vation Areas. No Major subdivisions
onseptics.
Mattingly explained that the law re-
quired that the tiers be established and
incorporated into the countys compre-
hensive plan by 2016. It was the final
point that was missed by the BOCC.
Prince Frederick Chick-Fil-A
Delayed Again
By Dick Myers
Editor
The Chick-Fil-As feathers are go-
ing to be plucked clean by the time its
new store in Prince Frederick makes it
through the Calvert County Planning
Commission. For the second time the
commission delayed a decision on the
new restaurant at 805-810 Solomons Is-
land Road. This time it was because a
stop work order had been issued.
The project was up for site plan ap-
proval at the commissions Aug. 16
meeting. Principal Planner Judy Mack-
all had finished her presentation when
commission member Richard Holler
asked her if there hadnt been a stop
work order issued for the project. She
confirmed that it had.
Two trees on the property had been
removed without approval. The projects
consulting engineer Dan Kelsh, of Col-
linson, Oliff and Associates, jumped up
and said that the developer thought they
had the proper approvals.
But Kelsh didnt convince the com-
mission, which voted to delay a decision
until the stop work order was resolved.
Planning Administrator Carolyn Sun-
derland pointed out that the staff tries
The Calvert County Times
Calvert County is in the process of up-
dating its comprehensive plan and had
intended to incorporate the tiers into
the revised plan. But Mattingly said that
since the tiers are not now in the existing
comprehensive plan, in the states view
that vote by the BOCC is irrelevant. Its
as if it doesnt exist.
Mattingly offered two options to
the planning commission: wait for the
comprehensive plan update, which
could take more than a year; or proceed
with updating the plan now to include
the tier maps, which could take about
threemonths.
Hanging in the balance in either case
is the fact that without tier maps the
county cannot approve any subdivision
regardless of whether it is allowed by
zoning, unless there is central water and
sewer. That severely limits development
to the Twin Beaches, Prince Frederick,
and Lusby/Solomons.
The planning commission unani-
mously agreed to proceed now with the
comprehensive plan update for the tiers
to correct the problem that effectively
creates a subdivision moratorium in
most of the county.
dickmyers@countytimes.net
to work out what caused the stop work
order to be issued before a zoning vio-
lation was issued. If that violation had
been issued that would have stayed any
planning commission action accord-
ing to Deputy County Attorney John
Mattingly.
Mattingly said it was always staffs
desire to bring everyone into compli-
ance with the regulations. Presumably
the two downed trees will have to be re-
placed as part of the mitigation.
Still, Holler persisted in asking for a
delay and the commission went along
with him. At an earlier meeting, the
project came up and was delayed be-
cause all of the agencies hadnt signed
off on it. Kelsh was critical at that de-
lay and in turn Chairperson Carolyn
McHugh criticized Kelsh for calling
her at hone asking for the project to be
moved forward.
The new restaurant is on two pieces
of property that contained two houses
that have been removed. They total 1.76
acres and are next to the Ruby Tuesday
on Solomons Island Road.

Agreement Reached on
Route 261 Sidewalk
By Dick Myers
Editor
The Chesapeake Beach Town Council
has approved a Memorandum of Under-
standing (MOU) with the State High-
way Administration that paves the way
for sidewalks and other improvements
to Route 261 on the south side of town.
The MOU calls for the state to pay 80
percent and the town to pay 20 percent
of the total cost of $162,500. Funding
from the state will come from the Safe
Routes to School Program which in turn
receives federal monies from the Fund-
ing Americas Surface Transportation
Act. (FAST Act).
Included in the project is the extend-
ing of the sidewalk in front of Beach El-
ementary School to Chesapeake Village
Boulevard. It also will add a sidewalk to
F Street along Bayside Road.
In addition to the sidewalks, the proj-
ect will include:

tion improvements
Pedestrian and bicycle facilities
Off-street bicycle parking facili-
ties, and
Traffic diversion improvements in
the vicinity of the school.
The sidewalk extension has long been
sought by the town to improve pedestri-
an safety for students at Beach Elemen-
tary School. The sidewalks also will be
used as one of the arguing points in the
towns pitch for a new Twin Beaches Li-
brary to be located in town. The town
is pitching the possibility of co-location
with a new Beach Elementary School
although they have also offered land
owned by the town for the library.
A request for information about when
the Route 261 project was scheduled to
begin was not answered by State High-
way Administration officials as of press
deadline.

Calvert Teen Sentenced Ofce Crime Report
in Shooting
Daquan Edward Holloway
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
A 17-year-old was sentenced as an
adult last week to 14 years in prison for
a shooting a man over a marijuana sale
gone wrong.
Daquan Holloway, of Lusby, was
originally charged with attempted mur-
der along with seven other counts stem-
ming from the January shooting but he
pleaded to one count of rst-degree as-
sault and one court of using a rearm in
the commission of a felony.

The shooting was the last in a string
of such incidents in Calvert County that
had been connected to the sale of mari-
juana, Sheriff Mike Evans had said ear-
lier this year and said the situation was
made worse by the offenders age.
Calvert detectives who investigated
the incident stated that the victim had
been in contact with Holloway just be-
fore the shooting to set up a meeting to
buy about three grams of marijuana.
Police reported that when the dealer
attempted to sell the marijuana to Hol-
loway that the defendant punched him,
took the drugs and attempted to ee the
scene; the dealer started to chase Hol-
loway when Holloway turned and shot
him once in the chest.
Calvert detectives were able to link
Holloway to the shooting after they had
arrested four other young men in con-
nection with a robbery and assault that
had taken place the day prior to the
shooting.

lice that Holloway had been the perpe-

Washingtons Wahoo
This isnt
about Char-
lottesville,
Virginia, but
rather a man
who spent a
lot of time
there Ryan
Zimmerman.
Several
years ago, too many for comfort, Zim-
merman starred for the University of
Virginia baseball team. He was a slick-
elding third baseman with impressive
offensive chops - a rare combination that
earned him the eye of MLB scouts.
About the same time Zimmerman
was done playing ball for the Wahoos,
a really bad MLB team was jettisoning
Montreal and settling in to a new home
in the lower 48, one that had been with-
out a professional baseball team for over
30 years. The team, of course, became
the Washington Nationals and it used
the fourth overall pick in the 2005 MLB
Draft, its rst since moving south, to se-
lect Zimmerman.
It was an unlikely marriage given that
the team didnt exist when Zimmerman
enrolled at Virginia, but it had a story-
book quality too obvious to ignore: The
semi-local kid Zimmerman grew up in
Virginia Beach before moving to Char-
lottesville - gets picked by the new home
team in need of a young star to enrap-
ture a newborn fan base.
Zimmerman was all the Nationals
could have hoped for. With his exten-
sive college experience, Zimmerman
fast-tracked through the minor leagues
and was called up late in the 2005 sea-
son. From 2006-2012, a period when
Washington transitioned from a bottom-
feeder to playoff mainstay, Zimmerman
was the franchise rock. Before Stephen
Strasburg, Bryce Harper, Anthony Ren-
don and a whole lot of wins arrived,
Zimmerman consistently batted around
.280, hit 20-25 homeruns a year, played
a gold glove-level third base and was,
in short, one of the few reasons to care
about the Nationals. He also had what
fans love a air for the dramatic. In
his rst major league at-bat, Zimmer-
man stroked a double. And in the rst
game at Nationals Park in 2008, Zim-
merman hit a walk-off homerun in the
bottom of the ninth.
But reality sometimes intervenes to
spoil fairytales.
The Calvert County Times
As the Nationals nally became a
contender in 2012, Zimmerman began
having chronic shoulder problems. Er-
rant throws and stints on the disabled
list became the norm. To compensate,
Zimmerman was moved to rst base on
a full-time basis in 2015. It didnt work.
Zimmerman, who had batted under .275
only once from 2005-2014, saw his aver-
age drop to .249 in 2015 and crater to
.218 in 2016. It was painful to watch.
Wholly indecent and unfair. The one-
time face of the franchise looked done.
But baseballs a funny game, one
where magical seasons can appear from
nowhere to make or rejuvenate careers.
Zimmerman is in the midst of such a
season. With roughly 40 games remain-
ing, Zimmerman is hitting .307 with 29
homeruns and 86 RBI and is on-pace to
set career highs in all categories. More
importantly, hes avoided the disabled
list (knock on wood). It is a heart-
warming renaissance that is reminiscent
of one experienced by another franchise
legend in Baltimore a generation ago.
Entering the 1991 season, Cal Ripken
Jr. hadnt hit above .264 since 1986. The
Streak was alive and well, but his ca-
reer was at a crossroads. Then he found
somethingsomething spectacular.
Ripken solidied his status an immor-
tal by hitting .323, belting 34 homeruns,
recording 114 RBI all career highs
and winning the 1991 American League
MVP award. Zimmermans not quite
having a year like that (nor is he the
player Ripken was), but the rejuvenating
and validating effect is the same, and it
couldnt have happened to two better or
more humble and classy men.
In late 2016 and in late 1990, Zim-
merman and Ripken, respectively, faced
a chasm between the players their stats
said they were and the players they still
hoped to be. Battered but not broken,
inspired more than deterred, both men
persevered through the ugly, the unrec-
ognizable and the completely unaccept-
able and rediscovered the best of them-
selves. President Barrack Obama once
said, The best way not to feel hopeless
is to get up and do something. Zim-
merman and Ripken clearly did.
Thats good soul food for individu-
als and society at large. Hmmmaybe
this was more about Charlottesville than
I originally thought.

Nathans Grand Slam
Powers Blue Crabs in Finale
The Southern Maryland Blue Crabs (17-
25) were victorious Aug. 20 in the nale
against the Somerset Patriots (20-22) 7-4,
with a Tucker Nathans grand slam leading
the way.
Both pitchers were dominant through
the rst three innings, with a Carlos Guz-
man double serving as the only hit for ei-
ther team. The Patriots were nally able to
open up the scoring in the fourth off Brian
Grening. Justin Trapp led off the inning
with a double, moving up to third on a
yout from Yovan Gonzalez. Two batters
later, Mark Minicozzi fought for a two-out
double, scoring Trapp to give Somerset a
1-0 lead.
The Blue Crabs were able to respond,
manufacturing a run in the bottom of the
fth. Cory Vaughn started the inning with
a single, stealing second and third to move
up. Patrick Palmeiro then came through
with an RBI single, scoring Vaughn to tie
the game.
Somerset bounced back immediately,
scoring three to regain the lead. Grening
allowed a single to Alfredo Rodriguez to
start, with Rodriguez moving to second
on a sacrice bunt from Trapp. Gonzalez
followed with another single, with Kyle
Roller walking to load the bases. Another
RBI hit from Minicozzi scored Rodri-
guez, and led to Grening being lifted from
the game.
Rob Carson was rst out of the bull-
pen, coming in with the bases loaded and
one out. Carson struck out the rst batter
he faced, before Justin Pacchioli came
through with a two-RBI single up the
middle. Pacchiolis single scored Gonza-
lez and Roller, putting the Patriots up 4-1.
The Blue Crabs fought back in the sev-
enth, taking their rst lead of the game in

the inning, before a one-out walk to Pal-
meiro loaded the bases. A.J. Atcher (2-2)
then picked up a strikeout to bring the
Patriots to within one out of escaping the
jam. Edwin Garcia was up next, battling
for a walk to score a run and keep the bas-
es loaded. Tucker Nathans followed, bat-
ting for the rst time with the bases loaded
on the season. Nathans came through for
the Blue Crabs, crushing a grand slam to
right eld, giving Southern Maryland a
6-4 lead.
An insurance run was added in the
eighth, as a couple of wild pitches allowed
pinch-runner Kalaika Kahoohalahala
to score. The Blue Crabs then called on
closer Cody Eppley (S,27) to close out the
three-run lead. Eppley allowed a two-out
walk, before striking out Rodriguez look-
ing to nish off the 7-4 win. The victory
clinched back-to-back series wins for the
Blue Crabs.

CSM Students Intern at
UAS Test Site

considered futuristic a quadcopter that
works both in the air and in the water, an-
other that ies and then transforms into a
rolling vehicle once it lands, software that
translates a massive amount of informa-
tion collected by a swarm of drones into
a coherent report for a human. College
students still in the process of working
on their bachelor degrees designed these
projects and others this summer, all apply-
ing Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS)-
related solutions to real-world challenges.
These students, seated around a u-
shaped brieng table, each took a turn
Aug. 4 presenting their project created
during their just-completed, two-month
summer internship at the University of
Maryland (UMD) Unmanned Aircraft
Systems (UAS) Test Site in California,
Md.
Its been a really good experience,
said UAS Test Site Director Matt Scasse-
ro, commending the quality of the groups
work and projects.
The 10 students included two from the
College of Southern Maryland (CSM),
sophomores Kristina Babinski of La Plata
and Edward Gesser III of Mechanicsville,
with the rest of the interns coming from
the UMD. Babinski and Gesser were the
rst CSM interns in the three-year history
of the intern program and were two of
only three interns who hadnt completed
the rst half of their bachelors degree.
They really held their own. They have
both done an excellent job, said CSM
Assistant Professor Byron Brezina, who
served as a mentor to Babinski and Gesser
during the internship.
They all brought their individual
challenges and strengths to the table and
banded together to take on the research
problems and solve them collaboratively,
Scassero said. Once it was time to work
and y their research it was game-on, and
they were a great team.
Babinski, an electrical engineering ma-
jor at CSM and the only female student in
this years internship program, was the
rst to present at the event. She described
the different considerations necessary to
write the code to create a thermal points
search-and-rescue map. Her project is de-
signed to assist search-and-rescue teams

large mammal or a vehicle in the water.
Using infrared thermal images collected
by drones, Babinski wrote code that trans-
fers that information onto a map. The
project, for instance, could assist rescue

Calvert County Jousting Tournament Still Going
Strong After 150 Years
By Dick Myers
Editor
The Super Bowl 51 years. The Masters 83
years. The World Series 130 years. The West-
minster Kennel Club Dog Show 140 years. The
Kentucky Derby 142 years. And then theres the
Calvert County Jousting Tournament at 151 years.
This Saturday, Aug. 26 marks the 151st edition of
the Calvert County Jousting Tournament at Christ
Church in Port Republic. And, the tournament has
run continuously except for one year during World
War II, making it the oldest jousting tournament
and putting it right up there in the ranks of sporting
events throughout the country.
Jousting is indeed a sporting event, memorialized
as the Maryland State Sport by a bill introduced in
1962 by St. Marys County Delegate Henry J. Fowl-
er, Sr., passed by the Maryland General Assembly
and signed into law by then Gov. J. Millard Tawes.
The honor was somewhat watered down in 2004
when the legislature bestowed the title of State
Team Sport to lacrosse.
According to the Maryland Jousting Tournament
Association, Jousting is the oldest equestrian sport
in the world. During the Middle Ages, it was a form
of waging war, but with the invention of gunpow-
der, the art of jousting a man bodily from his horse,
became outmoded as a battle strategy. The tourna-
ment eld became a place of Sport, and the knights
turned their lances to the more sophisticated, skill-
ful task of spearing small metal rings. Jousting be-
came a civilized game of keen horsemanship, skill
and sportsmanship with the development of The
Ring Tournaments.
The venue for the annual jousting tournament,
Christ Church on Broomes Island Road in Port Re-
public, is no slouch when it comes to its own history.
It is the mother Episcopal Church of Calvert County
and its oldest continually worshipping congregation.
The church is a three-bay-wide, ve-bays long, beige
stucco-covered structure featuring stained glass in
most of the tall paired round-arched sash windows.
According to Richard Dodds, the church ves-
trys junior warden and curator of Maritime His-
tory at Calvert Marine Museum, the earliest church
records show a baptism in 1672. Dobbs, who has
done research on church history, said the existing
main church building is the third on the site and
was constructed in 1772. The cemetery includes the
gravesite of former U. S. Representative Thomas
Parran, Sr. The church was listed on the National
Register of Historic Places in 1975.
Jousting is alive and well in Maryland says Presi-
dent of the Maryland Jousting Tournament Asso-
ciation Ron Vogel. We are on the up rise now, he
said and attributed it to the number of young people
entering the sport. A prime example is last years
Calvert County Jousting Tournament Champion,
19-year-old Lily Fisher Flaherty of Lusby, who then
went on to become the 2016 Maryland State Jousting
Champion. She will be returning to Port Republic
this Saturday to compete again.
Vogel got started in the sport at the age of 12. He
said he was lucky to be part of the youth group that
had a superior mentor, Mary Lou Bartrum, well-
known in state jousting circles. But he got out of the
sport for 30 years before returning. Hes been back
for 25 years.
The Calvert County Times Thursday, August 24, 2017
Vogel described the
Port Republic tourna-
ment as, One of the big-
gies. He said support
for the sport is strong
in Southern Maryland.
There are 20 tournaments
this year in the state; the
other in Southern Mary-
land is at the St. Mays
County Fair.
People are attracted
to the sport because it
is so objective. You ei-
ther spear the ring or
you dont, he said. It also
provides both sexes with
an equal opportunity to
compete and excel. That
doesnt mean its a piece
of cake. Its difcult to
do, Vogel deadpanned.
The key to jousting
success, Vogel said, is
for the rider ad horse to
become one, so the rider
doesnt even think about
the horse so he or she
will focus on the rings.
Vogel thinks that over
time the quality of the Lily Fisher Flaherty of Lusby, 2016 Maryland State Jousting Champion

Solomons Dragon Boat Festival has Successful Second Year
By Dick Myers
Editor
In only its second year, the Solo-
mons Island Dragon Boat Festival
seems destined to be a major event on
the summer schedule. That conclusion
can be drawn from the large crowd that
packed the island on Saturday Aug. 19
to view the races and the surrounding
events. And, it also can be judged by
the significant increase in race team
participants, from 18 boats last year
to 28 his year. Each boat contained a
crew of 18 plus a steer paddler and a
drummer.
Crews came from both sides of the
river and represented churches, busi-
nesses and nom-profit organizations.
The crews set up tents on the parking
lot along one stretch of the boardwalk.
The staging area was to the north end
of the boardwalk and the finish line off
the middle of the boardwalk.
The front lawn of Our Lady Star of
the Sea Church contained food and
craft vendors. That was also the loca-
tion of the opening ceremony, which
included the painting of the eyes and
tongues on the dragons that adorned
the front of the boats.
The boats are supplied by a national
company called 22Dragons. Company
President Philip Goldfinch said the
adding of the eyes awakened the drag-
ons for their task ahead.
The dragons were blessed in the
opening ceremony by Pastor Msgr.
Mike Wilson, who was one of the

Operating in both St. Marys and

Another indication of the expanding
success of the event was the securing
this year of a major corporate sponsor
-- Cedar Point Federal Credit Union.
This year also featured a challenge
between dragon boat teams from the
Calvert and St. Marys County sher-
iffs offices. The Calvert team was
called Mike and Mike after Sheriff

The St. Mays team, called #Bethe-

From Calvert Marine Museum
pating in the statewide One Maryland
One Book initiative of Maryland Hu-
manities. This year, everyone is being
encouraged to read Purple Hibiscus by
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. The main
character in Purple Hibiscus is selec-
tively mute, Nigerian, fteen-year-old
Kambili who lives in a protected com-
pound with her family. Her father is
wealthy, generous and politically active
in public and repressive, abusive and fa-
natically religious at home. Though it is
an intense novel with themes of home,
family, religion, rebellion, corruption,
nature, freedom and tyranny, Purple Hi-
biscus is ultimately about nding your
voice.
With that in mind, Calvert Library is
hosting a four-part class called #DoSo-
methingCal! to help attendees nd their
voice. Former delegate and current or-
ganizer and facilitator Sue Kullen will
teach the skills of getting organized
and involved in issues that affect your
community.
When asked why the library is host-
ing this series, Public Relations Coor-
dinator Robyn Truslow said, Weve
had a lot of requests from customers
to offer this training and it ts so well
with an important theme in this years
One Maryland One Book title. Its an
important time for people to learn how
to advocate for what they believe in, in a
persuasive, civil way. We might get an-
gry about something but anger doesnt
change minds and hearts. When Sue
teach the free course, she said, I believe
we can change the world by listening to
each other, learning to understand one
anothers perspectives and communicat-
ing our own experience and beliefs with
civility. Sometimes it might seem that
someones perspective is rooted in ma-
levolence, but youll often nd its based
in fear and misunderstanding. A grass-
roots effort to educate and help people
past that fear or lack of knowledge can
be very powerful. With a self-dep-
recating laugh she added, Or maybe
you just need to learn how to convince
someone of the need for a bus stop in
your neighborhood!
Attendees will individually come up
with a topic they care about and that can
be addressed as a short-term project.
They will use that issue for hands-on
practice of a variety of skills such as re-
searching the topic, assessing personal
strengths, identifying needs for the
project, building a team, running posi-
tive, productive meetings, inuencing

in the heart, there is room in
the house!
