By Guy Leonard Staff Writer A preliminary report from a task force of county planners, water and sewer officials and one resident member calls for all buildings in the Lexington Park Development District to be served by the Metropolitan Commission, which means that anyone, resident or business on a septic system would have to abandon it and hook up to public water and sewer at significant expense. The plan also calls for much the same effort in town and village centers like Charlotte Hall, Mechanicsville and Hollywood. The recommendations were floated to the Board of County Commissioners last week, some of whom have openly opposed the idea of enforcing mandatory hook ups to public water and sewer when a line goes by a home that is served by a septic system. Senior officials with the Department of Land Use and Growth Management have said that the recommendations of the task force are not yet finalized but the presentation given to county commissioners was clear at least in its intent. The new recommendations also would not accommodate septic systems in need of repair. For properties abutting or within 200 feet of public

Rocarek has the goal of helping her clients develop skills to empower them to have and live a healthier lifestyle. Its not even work to me, she said, adding that exercise is a stress reliever. She likes working with her clients for a minimum of 12 weeks at a time, meeting between two and three times per week depending on their schedule. She starts with a warm up, leading into a specialized routine, catered to each individual client and ending with a cool down. The entire process takes about half an hour. She also offers buddy rates for circumstances in which clients wish to work out with a friend or spouse. Rocarek, in those situations, will also develop special exercises where the duo works together and can help each other along. Rocarek, in a 12-week period, can take up to about 30 clients.

Scheibel, Incorporated after a contract bid process that started in July and closed last month when five firms submitted their bids. J.A. Scheibel was the lowest bidder. Scheibel construction has renovated numerous schools including both Leonardtown and Lexington Park elementary schools as well as Great Mills High School. The budget breakdown for the contract allows for $23.9 million for the construction, with $793,000 for contingency costs. Also included are $1.5 million in design and administration and

I married a con-artist, said author Donna Andersen. After being mentally abused for years, taken advantage of economically and emotionally, Andersen made it her personal mission to make sure that others dont have to go through the same things that she did. Approximately 12 percent of people in America have a personality disorder that makes them unsuitable for romantic relationships, Andersen said. There are warning signs for love fraud, according to Andersen that can help people avoid becoming used. Love frauds according to Andersen, are people in the world who pursue romantic relationships for the purpose of exploitation. These people, she said, are sociopaths. They pretend to love and shower their partner with attention but in the end, they use their partners for their own gain. Sociopaths are social predators, Andersen said. The disorder, she said, is highly genetic and most of them exhibit their behaviors by high school. People who get involved with a sociopath between the age of 14 and 29

are far worse off than those who do later on in life she said. More often it is their lives that are threatened and they lose more money. In her book, Red Flags of Love Fraud Andersen discusses 10 signs that someone could be dating a sociopath. Most sociopaths pull the same crap, Andersen said, that makes them easier to spot. According to Andersen, generally sociopaths have a certain charisma and charm that make them appear more interesting to the person they are pursuing. They study their subject, Anderson said. They learn them so they appear to be everything the victim ever wanted in a person. Most people see the signs of a sociopath, but dont know what they mean until its too late, Andersen said. Seven percent see warning signs or have gut feelings, she said. All sociopaths lie and forget to tell their partner important things, she said, adding that nothing is ever their fault. There are both male and female sociopaths. If they know that they are sociopaths, Andersen said, they are not bothered by the fact that they have the disorder. Andersen is giving a series of lectures in southern Maryland during the month of September on love frauds, giving people the red flags before its too late. Its a story that needs to be told, Andersen said. Her goals in these lectures are to get people to un-learn what they think they know about sociopaths they arent serial killers, she said, and to teach what sociopaths are - more likely to engage in domestic violence. Andersen is being aid-
ed by Marguerite Morris, founder of Leahs House and For Kathys Sake, two organizations that help victims of both physical and mental abuse. Awareness, Morris said, can help avoid these situations. She hopes that, through these talks, Andersen is able to affect someones life by empowering and educating them. Andersen will be speaking at the St. Marys College of Maryland, in St. Marys City at 7:30 p.m. on Sept. 12. She will be at the George Forrest Tech Center, in Leonardtown at 6 p.m. on Sept 13, and at the Patuxent Presbyterian Church in California, at 10 a.m. on Sept. 14. Ticket donations are $5 on Thursday and Friday. These sessions are geared towards high school and college students. Donations are $20 on Saturday, with a brunch provided and an added presentation by a panel of experts in the domestic violence response arena. All proceeds benefit the shelters and victims of abuse.

St. Marys College Names Gary Sherman Vice President of Enrollment Management and Dean of Admissions
St. Marys College of Maryland is pleased to announce Gary Sherman as vice president for enrollment management and dean of admissions. Sherman will join the St. Marys College administration on Oct. 7. Sherman brings nearly 30 years of professional experience in the admissions and enrollment management field to St. Mary's College. He most recently served as vice president of enrollment management at the University of Saint Joseph in West Hartford, Conn. Sherman served in similar roles at North Carolina Wesleyan College in Rocky Mount, N.C., Averett University in Danville, Va., and Marywood University in Scranton, Pa. He holds a bachelors degree from Shepherd University and a masters degree from Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania. Garys vast experience in admissions and enrollment management will serve St. Marys College well, said President Ian Newbould. His strong background in recruiting and retention strategies, financial aid modeling and administration, and marketing will allow him to leverage a deep understanding of the colleges strategic goals. We look forward to the added value Gary will bring to St. Marys. St. Marys College is an extraordinary institution, devoted to academic excellence, said Sherman. I am enthusiastic about what the college has to offer, and I look forward to joining and working with the college community in building on the long tradition of success." Joel Wincowski, who currently serves as the colleges interim vice president for enrollment management and dean of admissions, will continue to serve through a transitional phase in the coming months. St. Marys College is one of only two public honors colleges in the nation. Dedicated to providing an affordable liberal arts education for a diverse student body, the college has the highest graduation rate of any public college or university in the state. Within five years of graduation, 70 percent of its alumni pursue a graduate and/or professional degree. The Chronicle of Higher Education named St. Marys a top producer of Fulbright Scholars for 2011-2012. U.S. News & World Report 2013 ranked St. Marys in the top five public liberal arts colleges in the nation.

Washington, DC - An overwhelming three in four teachers and principals report regularly seeing hungry kids in their schools, says a new report released by Share Our Strengths No Kid Hungry campaign. These same teachers and principals are spending more out of their own pocket to help hungry kids. On average, teachers who buy food for hungry students spend $37 a month thats about $300 per school year or about five tanks of gas. Principals report spending about $60 a month, which over a school year could add up to be the cost of several car payments. Hunger In Our Schools: Teachers Report 2013, surveyed more than 1,200 K-8 teachers and principals nationwide. As Americans gear up for back to school, the report highlights the on-the-ground view of hunger as told by public school teachers and principals. Some sobering views of hunger in the study are balanced by educators optimism around a new program in the classroom breakfast thats increasing academic achievement and reducing childhood hunger at the same time. Half of teachers surveyed say hungry children in their classroom is a serious issue the highest level measured in the four years of conducting this research. A teacher from Maryland remarked, I have several children each week that complain about hunger. Hun-
ters Native Plant Nursery. We encouraged families to bring in food donations for the Southern Maryland Food Bank and a total of 685 pounds of food was donated! Due to the continuing need in our community, all of the library branches will continue to be collection sites. It truly does take an entire county to create a dynamic library.

going to cross the line. The medical portion of the contract was what worried employees most, the source said. If they werent going to raise my medical I wouldnt have wanted anything else, they said of the increase in wages in the new contract. I appreciate the professionalism and dedication to the mission exhibited by our employees throughout these negotiations, said Jim Myles, senior vice president of DynAviation, part of DynCorp International. Working together, we were able to develop an agreement that balances the needs of our employees and their families, with the responsibility to deliver affordable solutions to our customers in an increasingly challenging budget environment. Union machinists had protested outside Patuxent River Naval Air Station a little more than a week ago, claiming that their employer had stalled their negotiations by not sharing their projections for rising health costs and that DynCorp might try to change the plan under which employees have vacation and sick days allotted to them. DynCorp machinists and aerospace workers work on dozens of aircraft in the U.S. Navy including the F/A 18 Rhino multi-mission fighter, often known as the workhorse of the fleet. guyleonard@countytimes.net

Erosion along shorelines is a natural but relentless process. Many methods have been used to try to slow or stop the erosion process. These methods include dumping recycled materials and tires and installing bulkheads and riprap. Unfortunately, these solutions often cause problems by impairing the aesthetics of a shoreline and eliminating the valuable fringing wetlands and sand beaches needed to improve water quality and sustain wildlife. Shorelines are a critical part of the environment for many species of fish, turtles, shorebirds, and aquatic life. St. Marys County requires homeowners to look first at living shorelines to control erosion (see photo above). This technique employs materials such as native plants, stone, and sand to preserve the shoreline naturally. Unlike

stringent restrictions on septic systems and the prohibitive costs of helping to clean up the Chesapeake Bay watershed, have proven highly unpopular both among residents and elected leaders. What we have to do is stop PlanMaryland, Lollar said. Land is a fundamental freedom, we have to stop excessive regulation. Lollar will face off against Harford County Executive David Craig in the GOP primary; he said he was confident that his campaign would exceed the attention it received in 2010 when he ran against Hoyer. Del. Ron George of Annapolis has also stated that he is running for governor. Were not the typical Republicans, Lollar said. Well win our primary. Del. Anthony ODonnell (R-Dist. 29) said there were many Republicans who had either said they would run for governor or who are rumored to be planning to do so but the situation on the other side of the aisle was just as important to the overall race. With Gov. Martin OMalleys term limited and no incumbent in the race there was a real possibility for serious infighting in the Democratic camp, ODonnell said. On one side there was Brown, who has the backing of many establishment Democrats and OMalleys supporters, ODonnell said, while Attorney General Douglas F. Gansler has mounted an aggressive campaign while raking in a substantial amount of cash. The Democrats are looking to have a knockdown, drag out primary, ODonnell said. That could be determinant, theres OMalley fatigue and Brown is offering essentially a third term of his administration. The possibility for division among Democrats would only help the GOP nominee, ODonnell said. Whoever our party nominates will have a good chance, he said. But no one factor in elections is the complete picture. Todd Eberly, professor of political science at St. Marys College of Maryland, said a race between two African American candidates, Brown and Lollar, would garner a lot of media attention, but first both have to be nominated. For Lollar, getting past someone like Craig, who has also been the mayor of Havre de Grace, would be difficult, Eberly said. Despite Lollars experience in business, his natural public speaking ability and service in the U.S. Marine Corps, he still has yet to win an office with real governing experience. It all comes down to what qualifies him to be the chief executive of Maryland, Eberly said. Whats on his resume? guyleonard@countytimes.net

King Peggy
When Peggielene Bartels received a call from her cousin in 2008, she had no idea that her life was about to change completely. Being a secretary for the Ghana Embassy in Washington D.C., she did not know about all of the happenings in her home. During that phone call, Bartels found out that her uncle, the former King if Otuam had died and that she was to take his place as the new king. In this world we all have callings and we must be ready to accept them Bartels said in response to her new position as king. In the history of Otuam, spanning over 200 years, all of the previous kings had been male. As she was female, Bartels, worried that she would not be accepted as King by her people because she feared that they would be set in their old ways, she said. Because King is a title in Otuam, even though she is female, Bartels could not

She governs about 7,000 people, a third of which are adolescents. They are the future leaders, she said. In her next trip to Ghana, Bartels plans on making public bathrooms available to her people- 20 total. She also wants to make sure there is a steady stream of toilet paper available. The different tasks that Bartels does while in power are based on the needs of her people and the funds available to them. I can help them more while I am in the states, she said. Instead of ruling in Ghana full time, Bartels travels there once a year for a month at a time, implementing the plans she made while away. I pray and consult with God before I do anything, she said. Strong
in her faith, Bartels works with Shiloh Baptist Church in Landover, in order to raise both money and supplies to send to Otuam. King Peggy, Peggielene Bartels, will be making an appearance Sept. 14 at the Lexington Park Library at 2 p.m., promoting her book King Peggy, cowritten with Eleanor Herman. A movie, based on her story is also in the process of being filmed. Royalties from both the movie and book will be sent back to the town.

The College of Southern Maryland welcomes the addition of womens cross-country as an athletic program beginning this fall. The sport joins mens lacrosse as one of two new athletic teams at CSM. Competing in athletics at the collegiate level is a great opportunity for students, said Christopher Tuttle, first-year womens cross-country head coach. Not only do student athletes have the opportunity to excel competitively, but Christopher Tuttle coaches CSMs new womens cross-country the program also serves to team.

The program includes tional Champion at SUNY Delhi. a required study hall period of three hours each week, during which time class assignments are students sole focus. The program is open to full-time students taking at least 12 credit hours, and no experience is required. In addition to being a competitive sports team itself, cross-country provides a great way for athletes to keep in shape during the off-season from other sports, said Tuttle. Running is the baseline of any sport, in terms of physical fitness. Whether its volleyball, whether its basketball or soccer; whatever it is, youre going to be running, [so] were encouraging athletes from other sports to participate, Tuttle said. Working with Assistant Coach Josh Trice, Tuttle has made progress during the summer in promoting the program by reaching out to high schools within the Southern Maryland Athletic Conference (SMAC); his goal is to increase awareness of the program to potential college student-athletes. Most high schools already have cross country teams, so I think its a great thing for the college now to have a team, said Tuttle. The coaches have attended local 5K races and have begun building relationships with local businesses who may want to sponsor the team. Cross-country athletes do not run on a track, but rather on trails, gravel or in open fields. For this reason, Tuttle hopes to see the development of an on-campus course for the program. One of [our] goals in future years would be to start developing a home course, so we can have meets here, he

said. That would generate great exposure for our school as well. Tuttle noted that there are currently close to two miles of running area at the La Plata Campus. Tuttle earned an associate's degree in recreation management from State University of New York (SUNY) Delhi where he received Academic All-American and National Champion cross country honors. He received a bachelor's degree in liberal arts/geography from SUNY New Paltz where he served as captain of the men's cross-country and track and field team, earned All-Region honors, and set and still holdsseveral school records. He has maintained his competitive edge as a top-200 finisher in the 2008 Marine Corps Marathon and competitor in 5K, 10K, half-marathon and warrior-type events. Tuttle has been sponsored by the running apparel company Saucony for the past three years.
Participation in cross country serves to boost students professional prospects, said Tuttle, because potential employers seek qualities required of athletes. Employers do look at those things. They can relate to what goes into [cross-country]; the ability to balance sport and school. That goes far, he said. Tuttle added that cross-country has long been a staple on his resume. It shows that discipline. It shows that potential for leadership. Practices will be held at 4 p.m., Monday through Friday during the fall semester, with the team meeting at the Indian Head Rail Trail one to two days per week. Competitive team meets will occur on Saturdays starting in September. CSMs newest team will compete in Division I of the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA).

Johnny Football, Quotes & The Instinctually Offended
By Ronald N. Guy Jr. Contributing Writer Its hard to fathom, but this time last year Johnny Manziel was a virtually anonymous starting quarterback for the Texas A&M Aggies. By the end of the season he had thrown for 26 touchdowns, run for 21 more, led A&M to 11 wins (including victories over Alabama and Oklahoma) and had become the first freshman to capture the Heisman Trophy. In racking up all those wins, stats and personal acco lades, Manziel blazed an unmistakable trail across college footballs horizon and claimed a place in the collective conscience of sports fans nationwide. He played with energy and a bravado befitting everybodys All-American. In one season, he transformed from Johnny Manziel into the sensation known as Johnny Football. Incredible as Manziel was, the sports world has seen his likes before. Former Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Fernando Valenzuela stirred up a little something called Fernandomania during his amazing rookie season in 1981. One-time New York Knicks and current Houston Rockets guard Jeremy Lins meteoric rise from fringe NBA player to All-Star caliber point guard had Linsanity sweeping through the Big Apple in 2012. And in 2000, Kurt Warner captured the nations fancy by navigating the unprecedented career path from grocery store stock boy to Super Bowl MVP. The question that unexpected wonders like Manziel and his predecessors leave you asking is this: whats next? Valenzuela went on to have a solid career. Linsanity has fizzled in Houston. Warner fell out of favor in St. Louis but was reborn with the Arizona Cardinals and very well may be inducted in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. And Manziel? Well, in his first offseason swimming in the fishbowl of fame, Johnny Footballs missteps have included an unceremonious exit from the Manning Passing Academy, crashing a frat party at the University of Texas and allegedly accepting money for autographs. Getting paid for autographs is, of course, against NCAA rules and the allegation threatened Mansiels eligibility for the upcoming season. Is that the worst thing a college kid can do? Of course not and I personally believe there should be some mechanism for college athletes to reasonably benefit (financially) from their talents. But there isnt currently and, as we all learn (often the hard way) at an early age, rules are rules. After extensive maneuverings by Team Manziel, Texas A&M and the NCAA, and a whole bunch of stink being dredged up about the autograph session, the often heavy-handed NCAA levied a token, almost ridiculous penalty: Manziel was suspended for the first half of the teams first game. It is simply the latest irritating chapter in the world of NCAA discipline, a place where consistency and transparency go to die. As for Mansiel, only he knows the truth. Former head coach and NFL player Bill Curry might have summed it best, though, when he said on ESPNs radio show Mike and Mike last week, If youre willing to deal in cash and lie with a straight face, you can beat the NCAA system. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., whose famous I have a dream speech turned 50 last week (we still have a long way to go), once said, The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy. You certainly dont need me to attempt some elegant application of this quote to the Manziels fiasco. Suffice to say, all parties involved shrink under Dr. Kings inescapable, inconvenient truth. As for us, the offended many on the outside of this latest intercollegiate snafu, Ill offer this quote from Malcolm X: If you dont stand for something, you will fall for anything. Johnny Manziel and the NCAA are betting we dont possess a lick of personal conviction or common sense and have no ability to discern right from wrong. I usually try to keep this column upbeat, but if the case of Johnny Football has left you angered and disenchanted, youve correctly smelled a rat. That speaks to your honorable character traits and something lacking in a certain quarterback, institution and governing body. Send comments to rguyjoon@yahoo.com
St. Mary's City, Md. Sixth-year head coach Chris Hasbrouck announced Tuesday the addition of Joey Severns (Ithaca, N.Y.) and Taylor Cook (Hollywood, Md.) to the St. Mary's College of Maryland men's lacrosse coaching staff. Both Severns and Cook bring a strong knowledge of the game as well as a formidable work ethic to the table. Hasbrouck exclaimed, "We are extremely fortunate to have Joey and Taylor join our staff for the 2013-14 season. Both bring incredible amount of energy and passion to the sideline." "Joey stood out in an extremely competitive applicant pool, and his background is very compatible with the direction we are moving," continued Hasbrouck. "He brings solid recruiting experience and has already built an excellent foundation of success in his first three seasons as a college coach." Hasbrouck concluded, "I'm looking forward to working with Joey and Taylor and having them bring their enthusiasm and intensity to our team. These are great hires for our team, for our student-athletes, and our department. I have absolutely no doubt that they will continue to build on our progress over the past five years and work diligently to help us build, strengthen, and achieve even greater success." Severns, who will also serve as an Assistant Sports Information Director at St. Mary's, comes to Southern Maryland after two years as the assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at Albright College in Reading, Pennsylvania. He was part of starting and building the two-year old program at Albright, helping to lead the Lions to the ECAC championship title in just

their second year of existence. Severns began his coaching career with a one-year stint at Oberlin College in Ohio. "I would like to thank Coach Hasbrouck, Athletic Director Scott Devine, and the entire St. Mary's College community for the opportunity to join the men's lacrosse staff. I'm excited to be part of a highly competitive program with a rich tradition, and I'm looking forward to learning from a proven and experienced coach in one of the toughest conferences in the nation," stated Severns. "After spending time on campus, it was clear that St. Mary's is a special place that offers a wealth of opportunities to student-athletes in the classroom and on the field." A Seahawk men's lacrosse alum, Cook played four years of collegiate lacrosse, including two years at the U.S. Naval Academy. As one of the St. Mary's top midfielders, he totaled 33 goals and seven assists in a career shortened by injury. Cook picked up honorable mention USILA All-America honors as well as a first team All-Capital Athletic Conference selection in his first season as a Seahawk in 2012. Hasbrouck said, "We are extremely fortunate to have a player of Taylor's caliber on staff. Taylor has played at the highest level and knows what it takes to compete and win. He knows our system, and will be an excellent role model for our student-athletes. He has unlimited potential and will easily make the transition from player to coach."

Maryland Food Bank, Partners Kick Off Hunger Action Month 2013; Urge Public to Be A Voice
BALTIMORE, MD The Maryland Food Bank and its partners, the State of Maryland, Maryland State Police, State Highway Administration, Baltimore Orioles and Giant Food came together Thursday, August 29 at 10 a.m. to kick off Hunger Action Month. Throughout the month of September, the Maryland Food Bank and others across the nation are rallying to raise awareness and inspire action against hunger, which affects an estimated 50 million Americans. More than 457,000 people in the Maryland Food Banks service area are currently food insecure, lacking consistent access to sufficient amounts of nutritious food. Thursdays kick-off came just days after the Maryland Food Bank conducted a statewide poll to gauge the awareness and impact of hunger in Maryland. Among the surprising findings: more than 50 percent of Marylanders personally know someone who has struggled with food insecurity. On an uplifting note, 80 percent of poll respondents believe that hunger can be ended. The centerpiece of the Maryland Food Banks Hunger Action Month is the Be A Voice Campaign an interactive, multi-media campaign that was unveiled at the kick-off. At the core of the campaign is social media. The public is encouraged to use hunger-related images as their profile pictures, cover photos and avatars across all platforms throughout the month of September. To encourage interaction, the Maryland Food Bank is asking the public to share photos of themselves holding Be A Voice speech bubbles, with personal messages about how hunger has impacted their lives, why others should care about ending hunger and/or how they are being a voice. Individuals are encouraged to use the hashtag #beavoicemf b to connect with the food bank and others involved in the campaign. More information about the Be A Voice Campaign and other Hunger Action Month activities and events is included in the official Hunger Action Kit, available online at www.mdfoodbank.org/hunger-actionmonth. Among the key events are Go Orange Day on September 5, when the public is encouraged to wear orange, the official color of hunger awareness and action; and the 3rd Annual Be A Voice Hunger Action Symposium on Friday, September 27. Speaking at Thursdays kick-off event were several individuals and organizations who Maryland Food Bank President & CEO Deborah Flateman described as the embodiment of being a voice. Lieutenant Governor Anthony Brown, who has a long history of supporting the Maryland Food Bank, spoke first, emphasizing his administrations commitment to ending childhood hunger in particular. The lieutenant governor called upon ordinary citizens to take action, noting that the 2nd Annual Day to Serve will take place on Saturday, September 28 and hunger is one of two causes that volunteers are being directed to support. More information on Day to Serve 2013 is available at www.daytoserve.org. Lieutenant Governor Brown introduced the next speakers, Maryland Transportation Secretary James T. Smith, Jr. and Superintendent of Maryland State Police Colonel Marcus L. Brown, and applauded their coordination of a statewide food drive throughout the month of September at all State Police barracks and State Highway Administration locations. Hunger Action Month is an opportunity to raise awareness about the impact that hunger has on too many of our families, our children, and our communities and, more importantly, to take action to reduce it, said Lieutenant Governor Brown. Id like to applaud the Maryland Food Bank, Maryland State Police, State Highway Administration, and all of our partners for their efforts to tackle hunger throughout our state. I ask all Marylanders to join us by stopping by one of the designated donation sites to help a family in need. A complete list of drop-off locations can be found at www.mdsp.org and www. roads.maryland.gov. Secretary James T. Smith concurred, saying, Thanks to the leadership of the OMalley-Brown Administration, the Maryland Department of Transportation and many other State agencies are doing our part to end hunger in Maryland. With State Highway offices located across the State, we are in a unique position to provide an easy way for Marylanders to donate food throughout the month that we will proudly help deliver to Maryland Food Bank warehouses statewide. Colonel Brown added, Our mission is to both protect and serve the citizens of Maryland and I believe working to address hunger is an important way the State Police family can assist people in need across our state. By doing something as simple as providing food, we are helping our citizens build stronger communities and, ultimately, a safer, more secure Maryland. We are committed to a yearround partnership with the Maryland Food Bank as together, we work to be a statewide force for a safe and secure Maryland. The agencies plan to deliver food donations to the Maryland Food Banks three locations in Baltimore County, Washington County and Wicomico County on September 30.

Brown, Maryland State Police; Maryland Secretary of Transportation James T. Smith; Maryland Food Bank Board President Philip Andrews.
Angela Showalter took to the podium next, discussing her personal commitment to the Maryland Food Bank, which has led to her volunteering at the annual Orioles Food & Funds Drive and the food banks annual holiday meal packing event. She will also join other wives of Baltimore Orioles players and coaches and wives of Baltimore Ravens players and coaches for a friendly packing competition at the Maryland Food Bank on September 9. In May, the Maryland Food Bank honored Mrs. Showalter and her husband, Orioles Manager Buck Showalter, at an event for members of MFB 1000, the food banks leadership giving society. Closing the event was Jamie Miller, Manager of Public & Community Relations for Giant Food and a past Maryland Food Bank board member. Ms. Miller announced a broad array of initiatives Giant is planning for Hunger Action Month, including the sale of $10 Hunger Action Boxes, filled with non-perishable foods, at all Giant stores. Boxes will be delivered to the Maryland Food Bank and other Feeding America affiliates following the promotion. Giant will also expand its Meat Donation Program, currently in pilot mode, to all stores in September. Following U.S.D.A. guidelines, meat products to be frozen on or before the sell-by date; and will close Hunger Action Month with a companywide day of service at local food banks on September 30. Maryland Food Bank President & CEO Deborah Flateman has been asked to speak at a global
leadership conference between Giant and Netherlands-based parent company Ahold in September, which offers an opportunity to take the Be A Voice Campaign worldwide. Throughout the event, the message was clear: Hunger Action Month is just the beginning. Hunger Action Month is about getting people engaged in the fight against hunger, said Maryland Food Bank President & CEO Deborah Flateman, but it cant just be a one-time thing. We need people to get engaged and stay engaged. Speak out. Schedule monthly volunteer sessions. Set up recurring monetary gifts, of any size. Whats important is sustained, active participation in the movement to end hunger. Thats what it means to be a voice. About the Maryland Food Bank The Maryland Food Bank is a nonprofit hunger-relief organization, leading the movement to end hunger throughout Maryland. For more than thirty years, the Maryland Food Bank has partnered with communities across the state to distribute food to individuals and families in need. Through carefullycrafted programs, the food bank aims to meet the immediate needs of Marylanders while simultaneously working to find long term ways to reduce hunger statewide. Currently distributing 75,000 meals per day more than 27 million meals annually the Maryland Food Bank will continue to expand its efforts until hunger ends.

Jonathan Abell
By Linda Reno Contributing Writer Jonathan Abell was born in 1783 and was the son of John Booth Abell and his wife Elizabeth (nee) Abell. At the young age of 23 he was appointed constable and almost immediately found himself in hot water. In this case it was for refusing to apprehend a slave belonging to his father. On October 31, 1806 Jonathan petitioned Governor Bowie for a pardon saying that he was presented by the grand jury in August for refusing on June 28, 1806 to execute a warrant to apprehend a negro named Jacob, the property of John Booth Abell. The petitioner states it is true that a warrant was issued to him but it was out of the Hundred for which he had been appointed constable and it was before he had entered into bond for the faithful performance of the duty as constable and that he, of course, did not consider himself justifiable under the law to act in that capacity until he had complied with the requisites; that he is a young man without experience in the law and he has ever been anxious to see the laws executed. A number of respectable persons, inhabitants of St. Marys County, have recommended that he be granted a nolle prosquei. He was pardoned. On June 27, 1811 Jonathan was commissioned as an Ensign in the 12th Regiment of the St. Marys County Militia under the command of Lt. Colonel Athanasius Fenwick. In 1813 he faced a court martial for rude and unofficer-like conduct while on parade, refusing to keep the station assigned him by the Adjutant which caused great disorder in the ranks and for using insulting language to his superior officers, specifically the said Ensign did with great warmth and violence address the commanding offi-
Chronicle
es and sentenced to receive a moderate reprimand before the regiment at parade by Lt. Col. Fenwick, and then to be cashiered [dismissed from the service in disgrace]. On review of the case the reprimand was found to be superfluous in view of the sentence to be cashiered. A petition was signed requesting his sentence be remitted, signed by several officers and men and in view of this and other considerations he was reinstated on 12 February 1814. Jonathan Abell died in 1821. He married Harriett Corum on December 30, 1806, but she predeceased him and they had no children.

You cant quite reach. And thats frustrating. What you want is just beyond your fingers. You can see it, but you cant make your arm longer or stretch your hands. You want something and its just out of reach, which makes you growl. It makes you grab a chair, stool, step, or a taller person with a longer grip. Or, as youll see in the new book Bait by J. Kent Messum, you may need to reach for shark repellant. Nash Lemont was having the best trip of his life. He could feel the sun on his face, the sand under his back. He could smell salt water and hear lap-lap-lap of the ocean. It was so real. That last hit of heroin he had mustve been some good stuff. But as Nash struggled awake, he realized that what he was feeling was no mere heroin trip. No, he was actually on a beach, along with five other people: a huge black man, a Hispanic chica, some skinny kid, a man with dreadlocks, and girl who mightve been pretty if she didnt have arms full of tracks. Junkies, every one of em, it was obvious. But where they were and why that was a good question. Nash wasnt even sure how he got to the beach. He remembered a cold-eyed dude staring at him at the grocery store, and two precisely-chiseled men who followed him to a Miami club, but that was all. Once they stopped their petty bickering, his compatriots had similar stories.
They all remembered encountering some creep, just before theyd gotten ahold of the best heroin theyd ever had and then, nothing. The solution to their bafflement was in a trunk half-buried in sand. The trunk held sandwiches and water, and a message that directed them to an island to the north. There, theyd find more provisions and a box of that excellent smack. They only had a short swim to get there. On a yacht just beyond the beach, Captain Greer peered through binoculars at the junkies on the sand. He and his men used to be the most secret of Secret Ops, and they hated addict scum for a number of reasons. A little game in shark-infested waters was a very nice diversion You cant live without chocolate. You need your morning coffee. Nearly everybody has a secret little craving, which is why I think Bait resonates so well. It also seems that everyones fascinated with the ferocity of sharks, a squirm that author J. Kent Messum uses to its blood-and-guts fullest here. Written with a biting wit, sharp characters that are curiously likeable, greed, horror, and a surprising ending, this novel comes from beneath, seizes you in its teeth, and shakes. Really: what more could you want? If youre worried about sharks in tornadoes, thats nothing. Sharks keeping you from something you want now, theres a story. If that sounds good to you (and who can resist a shark book?), then Bait is a novel youll want to reach for.

West, Bill Engvall, Ingram Hill, Todd Carey and Keaton Simons, according to the Sam Grow Band website. Grow first headed into the studio in late 2007 to record Ignition with producer Ron Vento. That album sold approximately 10,000 copies in one year, according to www. samgrowband.com. Grow returned to Nightsky Studios in 2010 with Vento to record a series of songs that would later become the Rainy Day in Paradise and Stay The Night EPs. These highly anticipated recordings continue to highlight the strength and range in Sams voice while complimenting his heartfelt lyrics. Grow released the singles Lay You Down and Lets Make Love, which reached 13 and 7 respectively on the iTunes Singer/Songwriter charts in 2012. Grow then released the singles "Shot of Crown" and "Get Up" which reached 6 and 5 respectively on the iTunes charts. Those singles were released from the album "Reveal" which charted at 11 on the Singer/Songwriter charts. sarahmiller@countytimes.net

SOMD Blues Festival
Southern Maryland Blues Festival Announces Designated Driver Program
By Sarah Miller Staff Writer The inaugural Southern Maryland Blues Fest is coming to Calvert County Fairgrounds Sept. 7 and 8, bringing a weekend of blues music and good times, all benefiting End Hunger.
Chesapeake Bay Events, run by fatherdaughter duo Don Hooker of Dunkirk and Sarah Petska of Owings, is producing the event. This team is the same that produces the annual Chesapeake Bay Blues Festival in Annapolis, first held in 1998. Hooker said he started original blues festival because he wanted to give back to his community. At the time, he owned a computer company and wanted to do something that would utilize the companys talents without just writing a check at the end of the year. Armed with the desire to serve and the opinion that blues is a genre sorely underrepresented on the east coast, Hooker organized the first festival. Now, 15 years later, he is ready to see what country-heavy Southern Maryland thinks of the blues. Well see if theres some blues audience in Southern Maryland, he said. As with the Chesapeake Bay Blues Festival, all proceeds from the Southern Maryland Blues Festival will be donated. In this case, End Hunger will be the recipient. Theyve on such good things we decided to do something for them in our own backyard, Hooker said. The festival will feature headline acts
such as The Marshall Tucker Band and Canned Heat, a kids zone with moon bounces and face painting, and, for the adults, craft beer and wine tastings. End Hunger representative Jackie Miller has enjoyed working Chesapeake Bay Events. In the past, End Hunger received funds from the Chesapeake Bay Blues Festival, and she is thrilled Hooker and Petska chose to partner with End Hunger for the Southern Maryland version. Funds will benefit the new End Hunger Culinary School, Miller said. Advance tickets prices are $30 for a one-day ticket and $55 for a two-day ticket. Prices at the gate are $40 for a one-day pass and $75 for a two-day pass. Sponsors for the event are Hot Licks, Nicks of Calvert, Maryland Country Caters, Locust Lane Farms, Maryland Partners Bank, Talbert Fencing, Honda of Bowie , Nissan of Bowie, Gradient Construction, Sisk Auto Body, BP Gas Station in Dunkirk and Port O Call Liquors.

Chesapeake Bay Events, Inc. in cooperation with Bob Hal1, Budweiser, Sheriff Mike Evans and the Calvert Alliance Against Substance Abuse (CAASA) will join together in the creation of a Designated Driver Program for the Southern Maryland Blues Festival. The program will reward those abstaining from consuming alcohol for the day with free water and sodas and the chance to win prizes. Patrons will be able to participate at the Festival by signing a pledge to stay sober for the day and get those driving with them home safely. They will then receive a wristband that allows them to drink water and sodas free all day. As part of the program, the festival will stop the sale of alcohol before the last act and post the telephone number of local taxi cab companies and others offering a ride home. "We want everyone to enjoy themselves, but also want everyone to get home safely!" states Don Hooker, Promoter.
