Treatment Plant Advances The Charm and Quality of the Past with the Convenience and Variety of Today

By Dick Myers
Editor
The Calvert County Board of County
Commissioners is moving ahead with
plans for Enhanced Nutrient Removal
(ENR) at the Solomons Wastewater Treat-
ment Plant. The commissioners gave their
consent to the county proceeding with the
project that will be paid for with a com-
bination of federal, state and local mon-
ies. The project will be advanced to next
years Capital Improvement Plan.
The current plant was built in 1984
and upgraded in 1993. It has a capacity
of 700,000 gallons per day and only half
that capacity is now being used. There is
no discharge into waters from the plant.
Instead, the discharge is into 15 rapid-in-
ltration basins on a rotating basis.
The geology shows that discharge into
groundwater can seep into surrounding
waters. That is why the ENR upgrade of
the plant, to remove nitrogen and phos-
phorus that can be harmful to marine life,
is listed as the states No. 4 priority for
funding, and the second highest ranking
of plants that use groundwater discharges.
The county is proposing to make some
additional plant improvements not in-
cluded in the ENR work and not covered Fully-Cooked Boneless - Halves 4 Lb. Bags By the Pound
with federal or state funding. The county
has already budgeted $2.6 million for the
project and an additional $2.1 million in Fresh Turkeys for Thanksgiving
county monies will be added for the next
scal years capital budget. Now Taking Orders!
Additionally, $4 million in federal Envi-

Although the ENR upgrade does not Country Sausage Pints Quarts

Decision Delayed on Golf Course Clubhouse

By Dick Myers
Editor
A proposal to put design and engineering for a re-
placement Chesapeake Hills Golf Course clubhouse in
next years capital budget has been delayed by the Cal-
vert County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC).
The idea is not new. It was rst introduced in 2011.
BOCC Vice President Evan Slaughenhoupt, Jr said
subsequent boards have delayed the decision to get
the operation part of the golf course improved.
The BOCC received a brieng at their Oct. 31 meet-
ing from Parks and Recreation Director Shannon Naz-
zal and Golf Course Manager Tim Hepler.
There also was previous concern, according to
Commissioner Pat Nutter, about the impact of a new
facility, including a banquet room, by local businesses.
Chamber of Commerce President/CEO Bob Carpen-
ter reported his organizations support for the project.
Nazzal also said that restaurants and morels in the area
support it.
So, Nutter said of the business concerns of past
boards, I am over that now.
The proposal calls for replacing the existing 50-year-
old, 13,600-square-foot clubhouse with one with a
similar footprint at an estimated cost of $6.3 million,
including $495,000 for architecture and engineering
(A&E) services in the coming scal year.
The current clubhouse is only one-third used because
of the deterioration of part of the building. Nazzal said,
In January 2017 the clubhouse was evaluated by the
countys on-call architects, who determined that reno-
vation was no longer practical, and the building should
be demolished, and a new clubhouse constructed.
Golf course nances have improved in recent years,
but still is falling $100,000 short of breaking even.
The golf course staff believe that the new clubhouse
will positively affect the nancial viability. Nazzal
estimates a $100,000 operational prot with the new
building.
Commissioner Mike Hart thinks it might do better,
particularly for banquet facilities. He predicted the
banquet hall would be booked 49 or 50 weekends a
year. His business delivers liquor to receptions, many
of them out of county, so he feels he is an accurate
observer.
According to Hepler, the new clubhouse would meet
Americas With Disabilities needs, would allow for
more tournaments, provide an enlarged pro shop and
be a better overall experience for guests.
The BOCC seemed to be amenable to the idea. The
only question expressed by both Slaughenhoupt and
Nutter was whether now was the right time to do it.
Is this the time and place for this to occur or is it next
year? Slaughenhoupt asked.
Slaughenhoupt suggested that staff come back with
several concepts and compare the scal impact of each.
Nazzal said that was something that could be done dur-
ing the A&E phase.
The BOCC is expected to have several more work
sessions before coming up with the capital budget that
will go to the rst budget public hearing next year.

County Native Tells Tales of Celebrities

New Book Includes Experiences with Presidents
By Dick Myers
Editor
The year was 1951. G.I. Rupert Lore and his son Gor-
don were standing on the dock at the family marina in
Solomons. They watched as a Coast Guard vessel came
up the creek toward the marina. As it got closer, they no-
ticed it was flying the presidential flag. When it docked,
Mr. Lore asked if President Truman was aboard. When
he was told he was, Lore asked if he could come out so he
could shake his hand.
A voice inside said he couldnt come out, but they could
shake his hand. The father and son were led around to
the side of the boat and an arm stuck out of the porthole.
Gordon shook the hand. Asked how he knew that arm
was attached to the president, he said the voice sounded
like him. Another indication He asked for our vote,
Thats just one of the many tales about celebrities by
Calvert County native Gordon Lore in a recently-pub-
lished book called Gordon Lores Treasure Chest of
Memories. The celebrities include presidents, Holly-
wood stars and musicians. President John F. Kennedy and
his brother Robert are in there. They visited Solomons by
car during the presidential election to try to talk Gordons
father into running for Congress. He declined.
Lores fondest celebrity memory from Calvert Coun-
ty was when folk singer and actor Burl Ives docked his
boar at the marina. Lore was a folk musician, so he hit it
off with Ives. They sat for hours talking, with Ives in his
small boat and Lore sitting on the dick. They remained
friends until Ives passed away.
The book starts with Lores memories as a young man
meeting celebrities at the G.I. Rupert Lore & Sons Mari-
na in Solomons from 1950 to 1961. Gordon worked there
and at his uncles Lore Oyster House. His father sold the
marina and moved to St. Marys County in the 1960s. Joe
Lore later closed the oyster house and it was donated to
Calvert Marine Museum.
Lore began his profes-
sional writing/editing ca-
reer as Vice President of the
National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena
(NICAP, then the worlds largest UFO organization) in
the mid-1960s.
In the 1970s Lores worked for a DC trade publican and
was a member of the White House Press Corps. Before
receiving his credentials, he followed the rest of the press
into the Oval Office for a briefing. He walked right up to
President Richard Nixons desk. He turned around to see
the Secret Service descending on him because he wasnt
wearing a badge. Nixon waved them off. Lore feels the
president might have recognized him from reading his
work.
Lore eventually moved to California and became man-
ager of Beverly Hot Springs. His celebrity encounters in-
cluded James Cagney, Robert Mitchum, Rita Hayworth,
Tom Hanks, Jodie Foster, and Daryl Hannah.
Lore is now in his 80s and handicapped, so he doesnt
get around much anymore. He hasnt been back to Calvert
County for 30 years but his memories of it are still vivid
and he has graced the cover of his book with a picture
of the Drum Point Lighthouse. Lore would like to con-
nect once again with Calvert County residents through
his book.
The book can be ordered through either Bear Manor
Media at www.bearmanormedia.com or from Lore di-

Solomons 33rd Annual

Texas Church Merry

Christmas Walk
Shootings Hit Home November 29th - December 2nd

By Dick Myers
Editor
For Calvert County Board of County
Commissioner President Tom Hejl the
massacre of 26 people on Sunday at a Tex-
as church has become all too personal. He
reported at the Nov. 7 commissioner meet-
ing that his wifes sisters daughter knew
four of the children and one of the adults
killed in the Sutherland Springs Baptist
Church massacre.
Hejl. a retired state trooper, read the fol-
lowing statement on behalf of the board:
It is hard to believe it was almost one
month ago, almost to the day, we came to
this public meeting and shared our grief
and shock over the tragic massacre in Las
Vegas. Now here we are today again,
trying to get our heads around another
senseless shooting, this time in a small-
town church in Texas.
Both events are shocking. I think the
hardest part in these situations, is that
there really are no good words. We all are
shocked appalled frightened by the
possibility it could happen anywhere. The
fact is, it could happen here.
It is imperative for every citizen to say
something, if they see, or HEAR some-
thing. If you, or someone you know, are
in danger, call 911 right now. Or, call the
24-hour Calvert County crisis interven-
tion helpline at 410-535-1121 or 301-855-
1075. Dont wait.
To the families and friends of the those
who were killed or injured in Sutherland
Springs, the Board of County Commis-
sioners and I extend our deepest condo-
lences and will continue to hold you all
close in our prayers.
Later in the meeting, the board issued
a proclamation for the Optimist Club of
Calvert-Prince Fredericks Youth Appre-
ciation Week. Commissioner Mike Hart
talked about the tragedy to the assembled
young people being honored. He said,
Growing up here was magical. I never
saw what you see.
Hart warned the young people about be-
coming callous. Keep in mid thats not a
picture of who we are.

Walk/Run Raises Money for Center for Breast Care

The 2017 CalvertHealth 5K Run/Walk was a huge
success thanks to more than 700 attendees and extraor-
dinary support from the community and corporate
sponsors that helped raise more than $23,000 toward
the Sheldon E. Goldberg Center for Breast Care.
In support of the Sheldon E. Goldberg Center for
Breast Care several local schools and organizations
raised funds. Calvert High Schools volleyball team
held a Dig Pink fundraiser, Patuxent High School
Girls Soccer Team donated items to the breast center,
Northern High School Poms and Patuxent High School
cheerleaders encouraged participants during the race
and Solomons Volunteer Fire Department presented
the CalvertHealth Foundation with a check from the
proceeds of their annual t-shirt sale. Boy Scout Troop
451 of Lusby and students from Our Lady Star of the
Sea School manned the courses water stations and en-
couraged runners as they passed through.
According to Associate Vice President of Corporate
Communication and Philanthropy Theresa Johnson,
this years event was widely supported by the commu-
nity. The dedication and support that our community
offers to help us realize our vision of making a dif-
ference in every life we touch is extraordinary. It is
especially moving to see our youth give so freely of
their time and resources to support the breast center.
Wesley Harris of La Pla-
ta was the first runner to
cross the finish line with a
time of 19:05.
The annual 5K Run/Walk is one of the most suc-
cessful fundraisers for the Sheldon E. Goldberg Center
for Breast Care. This years sponsors were American
Radiology Associates & Services, A & W Insurance,
RE/MAX One, Sneades Ace Home Center, Wear Your

The Tackle Box Fishing Report
By Ken and Linda Lamb
Contributing Writers
We are transitioning quickly to
fall as the week begins. The news I
have of fishing is based on last week
and may be out of date as you read
this. Rockfish were active in the shal-
lows for lure casters at dusk all up
and down the Patuxent and at Cedar
Point. White perch are schooled up on
the oyster beds at30 to 40 feet in the
rivers. Small gray and specked tout,
spot and puffers are still in the mix for
bottom fishermen.
Trollers are getting into some seri-
ous rockfish in both the Potomac and
Patuxent. As the weather cools and
freezing temperatures come at night
such as the 28 degrees forecastfor
Michael Proctor shows off perhaps the last of the red drum this year caught Nov 5th on a piece of

November 10, the fish will flee for the
deep water. Trollers and jiggers will
score big time in both rivers and bay.
Breaking fish will be schooled up with
a mix of under-sized and bigger fish
co-mingled. Flocks of gulls will mark
the feeding fish. Many of these fish
will be 28 to 32 inches.
Some big 40-inch plus stripers
should show up anytime from the
ocean, perhaps in time to provide
some extra excitement for the MSSA
tournament mid-month.
Big blue catfish are in the Potomac
for bait fishermen. Trollers using
small bucktails find catfish taking
their lures right along with the target-
ed stripers.
Live minnows will bring strikes
from crappie at St. Marys Lake.
start date is Tuesday, Dec. 6. Team
rosters must have a minimum of 10
players and a maximum of 15. High
school students are not permitted
on the adult league. Registration is
limited so sign up soon! To register

Mike Abell, a St. Mary's County native, will
be the rst to say hes not a hero but hes denitely
seen action around the world in some of its most
hostile environments.
Once a member of the U.S. Armys Special
Forces Green Berets Abell was in the thick
of covert operations during the latter stages of the
Cold War when the Soviet Union and their proxies
were the United States greatest threat.
From the Sahara Desert to the jungles
of El Salvador and the streets of Berlin,
Abell was one of thousands of quiet, highly
trained professionals at the tip of Americas
military spear.
Theyre the cream of the crop, Abell,
the owner of Lincoln Contractors Inc. in
Hollywood, said of the men he served with
while on ODA 573, a special forces A
team of 12 elite soldiers. Special Forces is
everywhere, all the time.
Abell said he joined the Army out of
anger over American Embassy workers
being taken hostage in Iran in 1979.
I want to go to the Middle East, he told the
recruiting sergeant in 1979. I want the action.
The best way to do that, he was told, was to
join the Special Forces.
After basic training, advanced infantry
training, airborne school and passing a stringent
Morse code exam to become a radio operator he
went to the Special Forces Q course.
During the rst phase, which lasted a month,
he and the other candidates, most of whom washed

I was glad to get out of there, he said.
His rst assignment was in North Africa where
he patrolled the Sahara Desert gathering intel-
ligence on Lybian intentions in the region. Col.
Muammar Gadda, then the Lybian dictator, was
rising on the world stage as a terror enabler.
Often dressed in tribal desert garb and carrying
an AK-47, he and his team rode camels on their
clandestine patrols.

His died in the desert.
I walked old Clyde to death, Abell said. We
were pushing the envelope to see what was going
on out there.
You're constantly gathering intelligence.
It was probably the toughest terrain he had to
endure.
The desert will make a sissy out of you,
Abell, 62, said. It will drain you.
His next assignment was right at the
doorstep of the Soviet enemy Berlin
taking trips into the Eastern sector to
gather intelligence dressed as regular Army
soldiers at Checkpoint Charlie.
At that time no elite units were allowed
in Berlin from either side but it was an
agreement that was routinely broken by all.
We had KGB (Soviet intelligence
agents) follow us through Berlin, and we
followed them, Abell said.
When he went into East Berlin he got
a rst-hand look at what communism did to
a people.
Ive seen communism and you cant beat this
country, Abell said. My freedom means every-
thing to me.
Communism robs the human spirit, it destroys
your soul.
While in Berlin he worked in civilian dress,
including longer hair, as part of Detachment A.
Also known as Det. A, the unit specialized
in setting up resistance cells if the Soviets ever
invaded Western Europe.

MC C OY:

THE AMERICAN LEGION BY DICK MYERS

EDITOR

Patricia McCoys story is a somewhat unique one
for Veterans Day. But it is an entirely appropriate one
of diligent and long service to her country.
McCoy joined the U.S. Navy in 1971 in a delayed-
enlistment program right out of high school in North
Carolina. She was 18 years old when she arrived at
the enlistment center at Bainbridge, Maryland. It was
a different time for women in the military and particu-
larly the Navy. Women couldnt serve on ships. They
couldnt y. They couldnt serve in combat.
She did well in basic training and was one of
a handful chosen to remain at the Maryland base as
an instructor for women recruits. A year later she
was transferred to Little
22100 PointRiver Amphibious
Lookout Road Base in
Virginia. She was the only woman in her command.
301-475-5611
Her job was to process servicemen destined for
Viet Nam.
She said there wasnt any sexual harassment
by the men. The respect I got from the Navy guys,
the ofcers and the chiefs were phenomenal, she
asserted.
It was 1973. Times were different than they are
today. You were allowed to get married but you
werent allowed to get pregnant, she explained.
Thats what happened to her and she was given an
honorable discharge short of her three-year enlist-
ment.
McCoys best friend is a retired Navy Chief
who says that women in the 1970s were the trail-
blazers for the women who are now serving in so
many different capacities on ships and in planes.
McCoy was proud of her service and proudly
wore her uniform when she came home, unlike
others who were cautioned against it during that era

of intense opposition to the Vietnam War.
McCoy followed her then-husband to
Maryland for a job. Through a friend she
was introduced to American Legion Post
206 in Chesapeake Beach. According to the
post website: The Stallings-Williams Post
was named after two servicemen of the
area, who gave their lives in the service of
their country. During World War II, James
Franklin Stallings, born July 5, 1923, son
of Morris E. and Molly Ward Stallings, was
lost in action over Holland on September
22, 1944 while serving in the 82nd para-
trooper Division.
Jesse Whittier Williams, born May
25, 1917 at Chesapeake Beach, Maryland.
Son of William S. and Anna M. Williams,
was lost in defense of his country on August
17, 1944 in France.
The post, a spacious building, sits
proudly on a hill off Route 260 overlooking
the town. It is a busy post, with many events
throughout the year.
Pat, as everyone calls her, took to
the American Legion in a big way. On
their national website is the following
quote: The American Legion provides
life-changing assistance and guidance for
veterans, military personnel, their families
and communities.
McCoy embraced that motto. A testi-
monial to that is a recitation of what she
has done during her 30-year membership
in the post: Four-time post commander,
service ofcer, county commander, district
commander and then last year Maryland
American Legion commander. She was
the rst and only female post commander,
rst female Calvert County commander
and only the second to reach the state level.
Only this year did the national American
Legion choose its rst female commander.
As Maryland commander she traveled
all over the state to functions at the more
than 100 posts. She logged 32,000 miles on
her van, taken mostly to weekend events

THOUSANDS TO
MARCH IN
VETERANS DAY
Pa r a d e
A little more than a century ago the globe
erupted in what would become known as the
First World War. The nation is still in the midst
of the centennial memorial of that war, which
lasted from 1914 to 1918.
A memorial to the soldiers lost in that war
sits in the town square of Leonardtown and will
be the de facto center of what
many believe is the largest
Veterans Day parade in the
state Nov. 11.
Veterans Day itself stems
from the commemoration of
the sacrifice of World War I
veterans and all veterans in
subsequent wars fought by U.S.
servicemen and servicewomen.
The parade in Leonard-
town has taken over the entire
town square and many of the
side streets over the years and
this year is expected to be no
different.
Weve already had 2,200
people register for the parade,
said Maria Fleming, events
coordinator for the town. We
have 285 vehicles in the parade
with 35 floats.
The parade is expected to
take one-and-a-half hours to
complete its tour in Leonard-
town.
The parade is full of veterans advocacy
organizations and county service organizations
as well.
It begins at 10a.m.
The parade travels along Fenwick Street
and includes veterans, dignitaries, military
units, color guards, classic and antique cars,
scouts, motorcycles and horses, fire, police and
emergency personnel and equipment.
The countys state legislative delegation is
set to attend, as is U.S. Rep. Steny Hoyer and
Maryland Secretary of State John C. Woben-
smith, Fleming said.
BY GUY LEONARD
STAFF WRITER
The World War I memorial at the center of
what is also known as the War Memorial Gardens
in the town square has four bronze plaques with
the names of 27 men from St. Marys County
who lost their lives in that conflict.
The monument was officially dedicated on
Nov. 11, 1921 on what was then known as Armi-
stice Day.
The dedication included a
brass band, ex-servicemen in
uniform and the Red Cross;
there were 1,500 people in
attendance.
The armistice between
Allied Powers Great Britain,
France, the United States and
others was signed on the
11th hour of the 11th day of the
11th month in 1918 between the
Central Powers of Germany,
the Austro-Hungarian Empire,
Bulgaria and the Ottoman
Empire.
Adjacent to the World War
I monument are plaques that
memorialize county soldiers,
sailors, marines and airmen
who have died in other Amer-
ican Wars.
In 1954 Armistice Day was
changed to Veterans Day to
commemorate the sacrifice of
American veterans in all wars.

C HARLOTTE
Elaine Hurley with her husband at the Halloween party at Charlotte Hall Veterans Hone. Submitted Photo.
Sharon Murphy started working at the Charlotte Hall
Veterans Home in 1984, even before it opened its doors
for its rst residents. Her title -- secretary to the comman-
dant. She added, Now I am the commandant, although
the title has been changed to director of the hone. I love
serving veterans, she said, about what hasnt changed
over the years.
When it rst opened, Charlotte Hall Veterans Home
was operated by the state. About a year later the operation
was contracted out and has been operated by non-govern-
mental business entities ever since. That record has been
somewhat rocky, with one of them at one point declaring
bankruptcy.
But, since 2001 the contractor has been Health
Management Resources (HMR) of Maryland, which
recently was awarded its third consecutive contract from
the state. They also operate veterans homes in Alabama,
South Carolina and Texas. They were originally in the
nursing home business, not now focus in veterans care.
Charlotte Hall Veterans Home is owned by the state
and is a program of the Maryland Department of Veterans
Affairs., whose secretary is George Owings of Calvert
County. The home is situated on 126 acres in St. Marys
County, formerly the location of the Charlotte Hall Mili-
tary Academy. The home offers a continuum of care from
the 168-bed assisted living program to the 286-bed skilled
nursing program. It also offers memory care in secure
units.
Murphy, who was born and raised and still lives in
Benedict, is one of four state employees at the home. They
provide administrative support to the Maryland Veterans
Home Commission, an advisory board to the state agency.
Ex-ofcio members of the commission include Gov.
Larry Hogan; C. Bernard (Bernie) Fowler of Calvert
County (designee of the Senate President); and former
delegate John Wood of St. Marys County (designee of
the House Speaker).
For now, Charlotte Hall is the states only veterans
home, although the state is looking at the possibility of
a second home in Baltimore County. That facility is in

the departments ve-year plan but not yet in the states
capital budget.
The remainder of the approximately 500 employees
work for HMR or a subcontractor. But Murphy notes that
the home is constantly abuzz with volunteers who serve
many roles, such as teaching photography, using their
interests and skills to help the residents. Anyone inter-
ested can contact the volunteer coordinator. An interview
and background check are part of the process of selecting
volunteers.
Elaine Hurleys husband has been a resident of the
Alzheimers wing for ve years and having been moved
to the more secure unit three years ago. Hurley lives just a
few miles away and visits her husband almost every day.
She has been able to observe not only her husbands care
but also what is being given to the other residents.
This place to me is amazing, she told The County
Times. The aides are wonderful. She said of the range
of activities available to patients, They do so much. For
instance, earlier in the week she had participated with her
husband in a Halloween party for the residents.
Hurleys husband is a Navy veteran having served
four years, including a tour of duty on the aircraft carrier
USS Forrestal, when in July of 1967 a re broke out on
board triggering a chain-reaction of explosions that killed
134 sailors and injured 161. Future United States Senator
John McCain and future four-star admiral and US Pacic
Fleet Commander Ronald J. Zlatoper, along with Hurley,
were among the survivors. He helped put out the re.
Mrs. Hurley said the helpfulness of the staff began
from the time that her husband was admitted, including
assisting the family in securing Medicaid benets for her
husband, who was the past post commander of American
Legion Post 221 in Avenue.
He has such good care. Those aides are just like
family, she said.
In addition to the volunteers who help out, Char-
lotte Hall Veterans Home is constantly being assisted by
community organizations and businesses. We get a lot of
community support. I have seen how it has mushroomed
ETERANS H OME:
HOSE W S HO ERVED
Director Sharon Murphy
over the years, Murphy observed. For instance, proceeds
from a car rally put on by Cruisin Southern Maryland
every Memorial Day weekend have been used for needed
projects, such as a new pavilion.
Community groups such as the local Moose lodge
and veterans service organizations routinely invite resi-
dents to lunch and dinners; the home transports them to
the events.
An example of going the extra mile goes to Skip-
pers Restaurant in Deale and the Lothian Ruritan Club,
who annually invite several busloads of the residents for
a charter shing trip and a meal. They provide a police
escort for the buses from Charlotte Hall to Deale.
One little known fact is that Charlotte Hall Veterans
Home is one of the top 10 employers in St. Marys County.
The residents come from all over the state, with
Prince Georges having the most but also with more than
100 from the three counties of Southern Maryland. The
Army is the most represented. Viet Nam War era veterans
represent 38 percent of the population. Nineteen percent
are from World War II. Forty percent are in their 80s.
A snapshot of the homes population from September
of 2017:
One Silver Star
Two Legions of Merit
One Distinguished Flying Cross
13 Bronze Stars
14 Purple Hearts, and
One former POW.
Even with that employment base and large commu-
nity involvement, Murphy feels it is still not well known.
I think we are still a surprise in the community, she said.
She encourages everyone to visit and see for themselves.
When you stop by the Charlotte Hall Veterans Home,
Murphy hopes youll join the corps of volunteers. Youll
be part of a home for those who served their country and
a place for Maryland to say its thanks for their service.
