The latest campaign finance reports

for county commissioner and states attorney candidates show some have vastly
outspent their opponents.
In the race between Mike Hewitt,
Republican, and Bob Schaller, Democrat,
both men have raised significant amounts
of money but the former spent twice as
much money in the past several months.
For the reporting period from August to Oct. 24 Hewitt spent $9,325.98 but
Schaller spent $18,045 according to the latest filings with the Maryland State Board
of Elections.
However Schaller has a final balance
of $3,721.90 and Hewitt still has $18,308.14
in his war chest.
Both had significant contributions
with Schaller bringing in $12,225.89 and
Hewitt garnering $8,540.
Commissioner President Francis
Jack Russell also far outspent his opponent Randy Guy, a Republican, with his
$18,596.59 compared to Guys $157 over
the past several months.
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
Russell retains a balance of $5,227.34

while Guy has $1,315 in his account.
Opponents Merl Evans, a Democrat,
and Republican Tom Jarboe were much
closer in expenditures as the campaign
wraps up with Evans spending $4,859.13
to Jarboes $3,123.49
Evans retained $1,440.06 in his account while Jarboe still has $1,310.11.
John OConnor reported spending no
money from August to October; his opponent Joe St. Clairs campaign finance
report was unavailable when The County
Times tried to access it on-line.
In the states attorneys race incumbent Richard Fritz has spent $7,330.72 in
the months leading up to the end of the
campaign while Mattingly has spent much
more with $22,146.65.
Fritz, however, retained a cash balance of $5,911.99 while Mattinglys balance was depleted to just $485.83.
In the last several months Fritz received $10,890 in contributions to Mattinglys $5,725.

Matt Morgan, candidate for the Dist.

29 A delegate seat, has said he has not decided whether he will keep his position as a
key information technology specialist at the
College of Southern Maryland if he wins the
election but college president Brad Gottfried
says it is a serious question that must be
addressed.
Gottfried said that Morgan is still employed full time at the Prince Frederick campus but is currently not being paid due his
having used up accrued leave.
There have been questions internally
about how he can do this, keep his job and
still perform the duties of a state delegate,
Gottfried told The County Times.
State law does not prohibit employees
of colleges or universities from running for
public office, nor does it prohibit them from
keeping their job if elected but the ethical requirements are stringent, Gottfried said.
Gottfried said Morgan is one of just two
people at the Prince Frederick campus who
do a specific job.
It will be difficult for him to complete
his duties at the college if he is elected,
Gottfried said. He needs to do the job or we
will have to talk about it.
If Morgan were elected delegate, Gott-
fried said, the college would not expect any

favors from him, even though he would be in
a position to have influence over their funding nor would the college provide any favors
to him.
We follow state ethics rules, were
bound by those rules, Gottfried said. There
are no sweet heart deals.
Gottfried said Morgan had told a supervisor of his that if the college were in need
of a new position for a regional information
technology director at the coming Hughesville campus that the college might even install him in that position.
Morgan made similar comments when
he came in for a candidate interview at The
County Times in Hollywood.
Gottfried said there was no intimation
that Morgan should be given the position if
he were elected as the new delegate, adding
that no position would be filled without a
search first.
There was also no such position envisioned in the future, Gottfried said.
I do know he mentioned something
like this that is utterly ridiculous that that
would happen, Gottfried said. Were not
going to create a position.
Morgan did not return phone calls for
comment as of press time.

New Laws Would Focus

On Property Standards,
Tax Collection
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
Newly proposed legislation from the
county that would have to be approved in
the state legislature would allow the county to come up with ways to allow property
owners who wanted to demolish dilapidated buildings to pay the county back for the
razing, while another would give the county more power to collect scofflaw accommodations taxes from hotels and motels.
Under current county law there is no
way to impose personal liability on business owners who fail to file a tax return or
pay a tax owed to the county; the new law
would provide for the imposition of personal liability, while a second section of
the law would require proof of payment for
taxes, according to the proposal.
County Attorney George Sparling
said the law was specifically aimed at hotels and motels that have either not paid the
tax or gone out of business owing revenue
to the county.
A total of five proposed laws from the
Office of the County Attorney will be up

for perusal by both the Board of County
Commissioners and the St. Marys County
delegation to Annapolis Nov. 14.
One proposal would exempt property
owned by homeowners associations from
taxation, while another would consolidate
into one provision a penalty for violating
a county ordinance, explained Sparling.
Currently there are six county provisions
providing for penalties related to roads,
bridges, sediment control, regulations for
housing subdivisions and the zoning ordinance. Sparling explained these can create
confusion and consolidation would simplify the process.
Another proposed law would give the
county greater authority in dealing dogs
running loose by allowing law makers to
adopt more comprehensive rules; the current rules are outdated, Sparling said, and
the request comes at the behest of citizens
who have complained about dangerous
dogs.

NRC Boosts
Oversight
at Calvert Cliffs
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
After installing radiation monitors that
were calibrated to give faulty readings that
would have led to an unwarranted emergency at the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant,
Exelon Corporation must now submit to increased oversight of their second reactor by
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff.
The radiation monitors were installed
back in October of last year and the fault went
unnoticed for almost half the year.
Nuclear power plant operators are always expeted to err on the side of caution. But
this is a case where an emergency declaration
could have been made prematurely, triggering
unnecessary responses, said acting NRC Region One Administrator David Lew. While
Exelon, to its credit, identified and fixed the
incorrect thresholds, it nevertheless allowed
their introduction and they remained in place
for about five months.
A false emergency could have triggered a
number of events, NRC staff said, from a full

evacuation of the facility and nearby areas to
an order to shelter in place; the sensors were
set so that they would have given a false radiation reading 100 times the actual amount.
The NRC classifies the problem with
the radiation monitors on the mainline steam
pipes to the reactor as a white finding, which
means it is of low to moderate significance.
Calvert Cliffs has come under increased scrutiny this year after the number
of unplanned shutdowns gave them cause for
concern.
NRC staff said back in July that unplanned shutdown statistics for the first three
months of the year showed that Unit one had
just .9 unplanned events but Unit 2 had a total
of 2.5 events in a 7,000 hour operating period.
If a reactor has more than three in that
time period that triggers oversight by the federal government, NRC said.

The St. Marys County Sheriffs Office received a one-time grant for $35,000
from the St. Marys County Board of
County Commissioners to provide intensive outpatient treatment for females
at the St. Marys County Detention Center, according to the press release from
police. The press release states, These
services will utilize a trauma informed
approach linking to community outpatient and/or residential care as needed.
This grant funding provides much
needed treatment for female inmates
with emphasis on coordinated care
that will help them return to the community, stay in the community and not
re-offend, said St. Marys Sheriff Tim
Cameron.
The inmates will receive treatment
from Walden Sierra, which is St. Marys
only alcohol and drug rehabilitation center. The center holds Senate and National
accreditation and currently works with
male inmates requiring substance abuse
treatments.
According to Waldens website, the

rehabilitation center also offers assessment, treatment, mental health therapy,
psychiatric services, medication assisted therapy (suboxone and buprenorphine), medication management, trauma
counseling, recovery support and care
management.
Along with the $35,000 grant,
Walden received a second grant in the
amount of $50,000 from the Byrne Justice Memorial Assistance Grant.
This grant will provide residential
treatment access, which will be prioritized for female inmates participating in
the IOP [intensive outpatient program]
and provide coordinated access to residential services both helping to relieve
overcrowding and ensuring a transition
to community based services, according to the press release.
According to the release, funding
for this project will continue through
the Maryland Department of Health and
Mental Hygiene.

Commissioners
Reluctantly Sign on to
Metro Planning Area
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
After the federal government last
year linked the Lexington Park Development District and the Chesapeake Ranch
Estates in Lusby across the Thomas
Johnson Bridge using census data and
called it a metropolitan area St. Marys
County government officials tried to flat
out reject it. They failed.
Now, at their regular Tuesday meeting, they reluctantly voted to approve
a metropolitan planning organization
(MPO) as required by the Federal Transit
Administration.
Commissioner Todd Morgan (RLexington Park) said voting for it was a
financial necessity.
This didnt come from us or the
state it was a federal initiative, Morgan
said before the vote. We have to do it or
our federal transportation funding goes
away.
He even likened the federal governments actions to gerrymandering a district for transportation planning.
Commissioner Dan Morris echoed

his comments.
This is not something we wanted,
Morris said.
Essentially the MPO forces the
counties, St. Marys and Calvert, to coordinate on transportation planning, studies and improvements specifically geared
toward urbanizing transportation.
The MPO also carries with it mandates for meeting federal air quality
standards; under the terms of the agreement reached Tuesday, Calvert County
will undertake the fiscal agent responsibilities of the MPO while St. Marys will
provide the administrative functions.
While some law makers have
viewed the MPO as an intrusion into the
local workings of transportation planning, others said that it may be the only
way to get federal funding moving for
the eventual construction of the Thomas
Johnson Bridge, which is still listed as
the regions top transportation priority.

Release Records of
Martiranos Farewell Party
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
It cost $2,500 to hold a farewell party
for outgoing Superintendent Michael Martirano, according to documents released
by St. Marys County Public Schools, but
the documents note only checks and check
numbers with amounts, but not who wrote
them out.
The document, partly on school
system typed letterhead and partly with
a handwritten notation at the bottom,
states that the donations came from the
community.
The bill exactly matches the amount
given in donations from six checks and one
cash donation, according to the document
obtained by The County Times.
The documentation of the checks,
written out by hand, date from Aug. 22
through Sept. 24. Check No. 6116 was for
$250 while the second check, labeled No.
391978 was for $200. Check No.s 83199,
4768, 9310 and 2045 were for $1,000, $50,
$250, $250, and $500 respectively.
There were no names or tracking
numbers provided nor actual copies of the
checks.
The cover letter for the checks was
signed off by Interim Schools Superintendent Scott Smith.
Smith said he did not know who sent

the checks but confirmed that the funds
did come from sources outside the school
system.
I can confirm that actual money
came into the school system, Smith told
The County Times Wednesday. It came in
from outside the system.
I dont know if it was done
anonymously.
The Dr. James A. Forrest Career and
Technology Center in Leonardtown played
host to the event, which took place Sept. 10.
The invoice was dated Sept. 12 and the due
date for payment was Oct. 12, according to
the document.
The rate for expenses was noted at
$12.50 an hour for eight hours of rental
time, school system staff said the food was
provided by tech center students who prepared the meals.
The school system is also engaged in
an internal investigation into leaks of personnel information at a rate of $300 an hour
for an independent attorney retained by the
school board.
The school system has yet to divulge
when the investigation will likely be completed nor have they given a final estimate
of the costs involved.

Protecting Funds for

Transportation Projects
Voters To Weigh in on a Lock Box
By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
During the 2014 Gubernatorial election, voters will
be asked to weigh in on a constitutional amendment that
would put a lock box on the states transportation trust
fund.
This proposed constitutional amendment, passed in
the 2014 legislative session as senate bill 829 and house
bill 524, would require that money in the states transportation trust fund can be used for only transportation
purposes and prohibits transfers from the transportation
trust fund unless the governor declares a fiscal emergency by executive order and the general assembly passes
legislation by a supermajority vote approving a different
use or a transfer of the funds, according to information
on www.elections.state.md.us.
Its a good check and balance on future administrations, said Senator Thomas V. Mike Miller, Jr. (D).
The minority party has been trying to get a lock box
in place for years, according to Delegate Anthony Tony
ODonnell (R-29C).
Allegations that the general assembly has used the
transportation trust fund as a pot of money are unfounded, Miller said.
Theres too many problems to be doing that, he
said.
People get confused because the general assembly,
in recent years, tried to help counties hold down property
taxes by sharing a portion of income taxes. Maryland is
only one of five states that helps build schools and has
the longest continuous AAA bond rating in the country.
We dont have a habit of dipping into the transportation trust fund, Miller said.

Eberly, legislators needed to give themselves enough

leverage to use transportation trust fund money in the
event of a real budget emergency, but admonished the
state government for abusing the practice so far.
Its a typical ploy to show the people youre giving that money protections but allowing yourself enough
wiggle room to get out of it, Eberly said. It also gives
cover to those who voted for the gas tax.
Even though it could be abused, its something you
still want access to in an emergency, Eberly said, adding that whatever constitutional protections are put on
the transportation trust fund, he expects legislators to
continue their practices.
I dont really see it changing anything in Annapolis
regarding trust fund money, he said.
The lock box is not strong enough, ODonnell said.
The current practice is that the governor has to issue an
executive order and a 2/3 majority have to approve the
measure, which is already happening. But its a start,
which is the reason ODonnell intends to vote for the
constitutional amendment.
During the 2014 legislative session, ODonnell proposed an amendment to the measure that would have required the governor to declare a fiscal emergency and lay
out what happened to bring about the emergency. The
amendment was patterned after the existing process to
declare a state of emergency and would have given the
lock box additional substance.
According to information on www.elections.state.
md.us, current State law prohibits a transfer or diversion of funds from the Transportation Trust Fund to the

General Fund or a special fund of the State

unless the transfer or diversion is approved
by the General Assembly through legislation passed by a three-fifths majority vote
of the full standing committee assigned to
the legislation in each House. A requirement
that legislation be passed by a supermajority
vote of the full membership of each House
of the General Assembly may only be imposed through a constitutional amendment.
Accordingly, this proposed constitutional
amendment would require that legislation
authorizing a transfer from the Transportation Trust Fund also be approved by a threefifths vote of the full membership of each
House of the General Assembly.
Current law also requires that before
legislation authorizing a transfer or diversion
of funds from the Transportation Trust Fund
may be enacted, the State Treasurer must advise the Governor and the General Assembly
of the potential impact of the transfer or diversion on the credit rating of bonds or other
debt instruments issued by the Department
of Transportation. A transfer or diversion is
prohibited if it would cause the credit rating
of the Departments bonds to be downgraded
or cause the Department to fail certain debt
coverage tests. Any funds transferred or diverted from the Transportation Trust Fund
to the General Fund or a special fund of
the State must be repaid within five years.
These requirements would remain in effect,
notwithstanding the adoption of this proposed constitutional amendment.
ODonnell predicts the amendment will
pass with 80 percent of the vote, and, if he is
reelected, he is considering putting forward
legislation to strengthen the lock box.

Letters to the
Women
Get Out and Vote!
Aug. 26 was Womens Equality Day, commemorating the 94th

anniversary of the passage of the 19th amendment to the Constitution, giving women the right to vote. Today we take that right for
granted but the passage of that amendment marked the end of a
bitter 72-year struggle. This country was founded on the premise
that taxation without representation was not right, yet for 144 years
after that founding, women were not represented.
In this election year, it is important that women exercise this
important and hard-won right. There are many issues at stake
which directly impact womens lives and families. Why shouldnt
women earn equal pay for equal work? Why shouldnt women and
children be safe from domestic violence? Why shouldnt our environment be protected for our children and grandchildren to enjoy in
generations to come? Dont our children deserve the best education
possible?
The right to vote carries a heavy responsibility to first find
out which candidates agendas include our interests and then vote
for them. But it is a responsibility we should take on gladly. The
important thing is to do your research and vote!

Joan W. Williams, Clerk
10/30/2014
I am addressing this letter to those in District

29A who do not yet know Mr. Daniel Slade. I consider him to be an outstanding candidate for St Marys
County District 29A. He will get my vote and my support to place him in that office!
I have known Dan for 11 years and have found
him to be an honest, sincere guy who has solid core
values and is loaded with integrity. Having been a
history major at St. Marys College, he then completed
a law degree, graduating with honors. The legal work
he has performed for me has prevented many sleepless nights!
Dan, active in many service organizations, has
given back to this community in many ways: St.
Marys County Fair Board, the Second District Volunteer Fire Department and Rescue Squad, the Wine
Growers Co-op, the Farmers Markets, the school bus
drivers association, and pro bono legal work for needy
individuals in this county. Dan teamed with others to
establish the St. Marys County Teen Court in 2003.
Dan was the first Chairman of the Board and its first
Judge. Dan served as the President of the Board of
Directors of the Marcey Halfway House, the premiere
addiction treatment center in the county and the state.
Dan has a Drive-to-Action mindset and wants to

expand his community service to St. Marys County
as a Member in the Maryland House of Delegates.
I feel Dan will make certain our voice is heard and
thoughtfully considered, using the standard of what is
best for the citizens within District 29A.
He is committed to protecting and enhancing
benefits for small businesses in Southern Maryland
and reducing taxes since both he and his wife operate
their own small businesses.
The parents of both Dan and Mary live locally,
which contributes to Dans personal interest in addressing the needs of the elderly. Dan is proactive
on solving school issues, enhancing the digital classroom, and undertaking the opiate epidemic to help
protect their three small children.
In summary, Dan will be accountable to the citizens of St. Marys County for reducing taxes, supporting small businesses, encouraging economic growth
and diversification, improving schools, assisting the
elderly, eliminating drugs, and preserving the rural
Southern Maryland landscape.
Thomas Maday
St Marys City, Md.
Vote for Dan Slade.

Dan Slade was born here, went to school here and
graduated from St. Mary's College. After doing very
well in law school, instead of accepting a high paying
corporate job in the city, he chose to return to the St.
Mary's community to raise a family and open his own
business. He chose this community for its lifestyle and
values instead of sacrificing those qualities for a high
salary and fancy title.
Because he runs his law office and because he has
a wife who runs her own business, Dan is aware of
the problems facing small businesspeople; because he
has three children who attend or will attend schools in
the County, Dan shares our desire for those schools to
be the best; and, because he has relatives and friends
who are watermen and farmers, Dan realizes the tough
times and choices they will have to make in the years
to come.
Dan not only sees the problems, but understands
how to make the needs of St. Mary's County known
to the legislators of Annapolis. To protect the quality
of life which makes living in St. Mary's County great,
we need someone representing our interests who not
only truly appreciates the value of all ways of life in
St. Mary's but knows how to effectively communicate
and work with his fellow lawmakers. Dan Slade is that
person.
Or, we could vote for the other guy, a transplanted
Charles County real estate salesman. If the real estate
developers support him, would he really represent us?

Supporting Education
As a teacher, I carefully look at local candidates
positions on education. Of course, its easy for every one
of them to say they support education, so I usually look
deeper than their words to their deeds.
Bob Schaller has lived his promise to support education for 25 years as a founder and president of BECA, the
Business, Education and Community Alliance. This partnership of the public schools and the Chamber of Commerce created the Passport to the Future program which
gave thousands of high school students rewards for doing
well in school.
More than ten years ago, BECAs focus shifted to
providing scholarships for students. Since then, Bob has
worked tirelessly each year to raise $25,000 - money that
goes directly to students from BECA. Another $300,000
each year is awarded through BECAs St. Marys County
Common Scholarship Application, a project thats taken
hundreds of hours of Bobs time, supported by a team he
assembles each year. Students fill out just one application

that BECA distributes to over 40 local scholarship providers who award the scholarships at a BECA ceremony each
May. His work has helped to open the doors of higher education to hundreds of our children.
Many students awarded scholarships through BECA
have come back to the community to work, building the
educated workforce this county needs to prosper.
Bob Schaller is a candidate who not only says hell
support education, but has demonstrated through decades
of hard work that he is dedicated to increasing educational
opportunities for the students of St. Marys County. His
proven track record of helping to give our young people
the education they deserve makes him an excellent choice
for County Commissioner.

We Need Transparency
and Accountability
in Our County Government
Joseph Tony St. Clair is running
for County Commissioner. It is not very
often that the voters of St. Marys County have the opportunity to elect such a
uniquely qualified person to be a County
Commissioner.
Known by many in the community
as Tony, Joe can make a real difference
in the way our County Government is run.
His priorities in life are God, Family and
St. Marys County, in that order. He offers
a broad perspective and has a vast knowledge of the issues that affect the citizens of
St. Marys County.
His lengthy and dedicated service on
many County Boards, Commissions and
Voluntary Organizations give him great
experience and knowledge of the issues. He
has served as an Officer or Board Member
of: The 7th District Optimist Club, The St.
Clements 100s, St. Marys Metropolitan
Commission, St. Marys County Planning
Commission, St. Marys County Economic
Development Commission, Chamber of
Commerce, Chamber of Commerce Governmental Affairs Committee, Tri-County
Council, Agricultural/Seafood Commission, Maryland United Cerebral Palsy
and The St. Marys County Development

Workforce Committee. He has received
awards from the Chamber of Commerce,
Special Olympics, the Human Relations
Committee and others. He knows how
Government works and he knows how to
get things done.
He will insist on transparency and
accountability in our County Government. Joe feels that there are many things
that threaten the way of life in St. Marys
County. Things like the lengthy permit
processes, increased taxes, budget cuts,
unfunded state mandates, costly environmental regulations, the need to diversify
our economy and that our children deserve
quality education.
The County Commissioners are the
governing body of St. Marys County.
They set our taxes and make our local laws.
There will be at least 3 new Commissioners
elected. We need Joseph Tony St. Clairs
experience and knowledge at the Commissioners table working for us. I urge you to
vote for him.

years I served under States Attorney Walter Dorsey. The last 16 years I have served
as Deputy States Attorney under States Attorney Richard Fritz.
For the 17 years prior to this, I engaged in the private practice of law with
my father Joseph Weiner and my brother
John Weiner, which entailed a considerate
amount of criminal defense work. During
this time, I served the citizens of St. Marys
County as Assistant County Attorney and
County Attorney.
I heartily endorse and am proud to recommend to the voters of St. Marys County
Richard Fritz for reelection to the office of
States Attorney for St. Marys County.
Rick has served our county as:
States Attorney George Sparling
2. Assistant Public Defender under
District Public Defender John Slade III
States Attorney Clarke Raley
4. Deputy States Attorney for ten
years under States Attorney Walter Dorsey
5. Your States Attorney for the past
16 years
I submit to the voters of St. Marys
County that my experience tells me that
experience is the most important criteria
for selecting a States Attorney. Experience
in criminal law and trial experience are

very important but experience in the States
Attorneys office is the essential criteria.
Rick is the most experienced candidate in
the State of Maryland.
Ricks opponent has never served in
the States Attorneys office. His opponents criminal law experience is extremely limited and his criminal trial experience
is almost non-existent.
To the best of anyones recollection,
Ricks opponent was appointed a special
prosecutor once in his career and took
a plea to drunk driving. This is his only
known prosecutorial experience, which is
obviously inadequate. To the best of anyones memory, Ricks opponent had only
one criminal jury trial in his career, a case
of misdemeanor shoplifting. He lost.
Rick has prosecuted personally and
successfully over 50 murder cases.
Rick has prosecuted personally and
successfully over 1,000 felony cases.
The choice and contrast could not be
starker. On one hand, you have Richard
Fritz, who is highly qualified. On the other hand you have Ricks opponent who is
completely unqualified.
I appreciate you consideration of
Ricks candidacy and remain your faithful
public servant.

Letters to the Editor

Building Positive,
Bi-Partisan Relationships
I am a young woman who was raised to honor and value life. I also value our
sense of community and our ability to work together in solving problems. The issue of
abortion is one of the most potentially divisive issues within our society; both the ProLife and the Pro-Choice communities have strong feelings on this issue.
Deb Rey is a principled candidate who holds strong Pro-Life beliefs founded in
her Catholic faith. While she is admirably unwilling to compromise her personal beliefs, I have seen her work with people who hold the opposing view to find common
ground and build upon it.
It is inspiring to watch Deb listen to and talk with citizens. I've seen her speak
with a potential opponent for nearly an hour on such divisive issues and move them
from a position of hostility and confrontation to a condition where both sides are in
collegial agreement on at least one aspect of the issue.
For example, she often reaches agreement with Pro-Choice opponents on the belief that third-trimester partial-birth abortions performed after viability should not be
legal when justified only by the fact that the mother does not want the child (as they
are in Maryland). She also often finds agreement when asking if it is wrong that citizens who are morally opposed to abortion are forced to fund such late-term abortions
with their tax dollars (as is currently the policy in Maryland).
Reaching agreement on aspects as these - no matter how small - when it comes
to such sensitive issues is the start of building positive, bi-partisan relationships. This
demonstrates to me that Deb truly knows how to work as a team player for the common good.
I am strongly and unabashedly supporting her for Delegate in District 29B. If she
can build positive relationships on the divisive issue of abortion, then I am confident
she will be able to find consensus on and constructive solutions for the most volatile of
issues while serving in the Maryland House of Delegates.

Schaller Response
Several people have apparently misremembered the circumstances of Bob
Schallers resignation as the Countys EDC Director in 2012.
One of our most prolific letter-writers, Joe Wible, recently dredged up the story
about the County Commissioners forcing Bob Schaller out of his job as the Director
of Economic Development. Mr. Wible obviously did not read the email Schaller sent
to the to the schools Superintendent, which he ccd to the County Administrator, by
the way. (Why would he send a copy to the County Administrator if he were doing
anything underhanded? All letters about policy issues become public as soon as they
get to the Commissioners offices.)
The entire gist of Schallers letter was to urge the Board of Education to adopt
the same local preference policy the Commissioners had recently enacted. He then
used Taylor Gas Company, from Lexington Park, as an example of why a local preference policy was good for local businesses and the County. (For the record, I am
also a member of GeeZer, the band. Thanks, Joe, for the plug.)
And, in the profile of the candidates a few weeks ago, The Enterprise reporter incorrectly wrote that Schaller had tried to get a bid award changed. Strangely
enough, the reporter even quoted the part of the email Schaller sent to the Superintendent, where he urged the Board of Education to change their procurement policies
and adopt the local vendor preference the County Commissioners had recently instituted. Schaller even noted in the letter that he knew bid had already been awarded
and that he knew it was too late to do anything about that.
None of the County Commissioners seem to have read the letter either, rushing
to judgment in a day, before even taking the time to speak with Schaller, fobbing that
task off to the County Administrator, whos the letter speaks for itself quote makes
it clear he didnt read very carefully either. I guess this is why Joe Wible supports
Mike Hewitt because is this case lower taxes, less government is just what we got
less government, that is, Commissioners who didnt have the time, or the inclination,
to look into this matter.

Rain Tax?
County Commissioner candidate Mike Hewitt has added the phrase, Repeal
the Rain Tax to many of his campaign signs. I dont understand. First there is no
rain tax. There is a tax on impervious surfaces that is designed to provide funds for
storm water management and to help protect the Chesapeake Bay, its oysters, crabs,
and fish. That tax may, or may not, need to be repealed. However, only the state
legislature can repeal it. The St. Marys County Commissioners cannot. Also, that
tax does not exist in St. Marys or Calvert Counties. It is only in effect in the nine
most populous Maryland counties and Baltimore City.

It is Not Enough to
Want a Better Community
Citizens of St. Marys County, I ask you
to join me in making a better community for
our homes and our lives. Recently I returned to
live in this county after a four year absence and
I am happy to have found a wonderful home
here. However, I was somewhat hesitant to return because of my concerns with the growth
of crime. These issues were already clear when
I left St. Marys County four years ago, and it
is clear these problems have only increased in
both number and severity.
It is disturbing to see the reports in our
daily local news: the tragedies of addiction
and abuse, the puzzling small number of cases
prosecuted, and the failure to help veterans
who have served our country. There has been
a massive spike in addiction, particularly that
of heroin and prescription opiates, which has
naturally lead to an alarming rate of opiate related deaths. Many of the victims and perpetrators are repeat offenders, while others are only
beginning their careers as criminals, and will
continue on their current paths with the current
approach to these afflictions and offenses.
It is not enough to want a better community. We MUST be proactive in making it so. Ive
come to realize the importance of local politics
and the great difference a single vote or lack of
voting for local offices can have on daily life

and the communities where we reside. I decided to do all I can to make St. Marys County
the best choice in where to live. I support Shane
Mattingly for all he intends to do in this county.
The very issues I am most concerned about are
the same he has chosen to focus on in his 2014
campaign for States Attorney. This is not a coincidence, this is common sense, and no one
can afford to avoid them any longer. Not here.
Not anywhere.
The current States Attorney has been in
office for the past 16 years and his experience has failed us. He is simply not effective
as lead prosecutor for St. Marys County. We
need to elect a new official, to elect change.
Elect Shane Mattingly for States Attorney
this November 4th. By prosecuting the wrong,
preserving the right, protecting the weak and
promoting the good, Shane Mattingly works
to ideally prevent and reduce the damage and
destruction of crime to all of us. With this election we can help ourselves and each other gain
more pride and a new sense of security in this
beautiful community.

Obama Tactics Coming to

St. Marys Election
Its already started by the Community
Organizers, they are unloading just before
the November 4th election next Tuesday.
Their biggest target is Rita Weaver Candidate for the 1st District School Board Seat.
Sal Raspa, fellow school board cronies and the teachers unions are unloading
a barrage of distortions and falsehoods on a
talented, tenacious lady who wants to be a
good guardian of our taxpayer money and put
our tax dollars in the classroom. The current
school board doesnt want someone who is
razor sharp and wants 100% transparency
of school board activities. Rita will root out
waste and expose foolish expenditures of our
hard earned tax payer dollars.
The Community Organizers (OBAMA
LIKE) are also going after Weaver supporters
like me due to my letters to the editor. I stand
by my word. Rita Weaver is no lap dog and
has no handlers. Mr. Brown your man Gaskin thinks the current school board is doing a
good job (Mr. Gaskins own words). So once
again, it appears $6-8 Million school board
over-runs dont bother Mr. Gaskin. I rest my
case Sorry Mr. Brown.
We dont need to give blank checks to
Delaware lawyers to find out who leaked that
Raspa and his Brady Bunch wanted to get
a person in as Superintendent, even though
the person met ZERO of the five legal requirements to be a school superintendent in
Maryland. However, the same school board
doesnt want a forensic audit of their spending.
This board gave our now departed Superintendent total compensation of approximately
$400,000.00. He even cashed in $110,000.00
leave time and sick leave the year before he
left. Time to make the school board accountable, report to the public and have open
meetings.
Who are the backers of John Alonzo
Gaskin, Raspas hand-picked candidate for his
school board seat? Maryland Board of State
Elections Campaign Finance report shows
that Steny Hoyer is the biggest donor. Steny
was Nancy Pelosis Heavy Lifter getting
Obama Care and the STIMULUS passed.

Wheeler & dealer Steny helped make these
disastrous bills become law. John Bohanan
and Sal Raspa are in the top 4 of his biggest
donors.
St. Marys County has been blessed with
a group of commissioners the past few years
that showed fiscal constraint. However, the
Democratic party of Maryland (lead by Governor OMally and Lt. Governor Anthony
Brown) has given us same sex marriage, legalized marijuana, fiscal insanity (higher taxes/
fees) and unnecessary casinos which bring
crime and corruption. Governor OMalley
poured $250 million down the rat hole in the
disastrous and short lived Maryland Health
Exchange for Obama Care. Oh yes Anthony
Brown (now Governor Candidate) chaired this
disastrous folly that caused Maryland to not
only lose their $250 million but to buy Connecticuts plan. Browns reward for that fiasco is the nomination for Governor. Are you
lifelong Democrats still proud?
It is time to get some competent people in
Annapolis who truly represent the people and
not special interest groups. We could start by
defeating our career politician John Bohanan.
He showed his true colors by giving a quick
and short glad handing session at the Ducks
Unlimited banquet. He said Got to go to my
commitment at an NAACP function. John
you and Gaskin are joined at the hip. Lets
vote for a lady who has had a real career
(20 year Air Force Veteran) who wants to
truly represent St. Marys citizens and not support special interest groups. The Maryland
State Comptroller estimates it will require a
67% increase in property taxes to balance the
budget due to reckless spending by our Democratic State legislators. No wonder about 50%
of our Maryland citizens want to move to another state. Deb Ray will be a great delegate
for all the wonderful citizens of our great
county.

Richard Gray Portee, 94

Richard Gray Portee,
94, of Lexington Park, Md.
passed peacefully on Oct.
16 at AlfredHouse Eldercare in Rockville, Md.
Richard was born on
May 28, 1920 in Sylvester,
Ga. to the late Hezekiah and
Mary Portee.
When Richard was 5
years old he, his parents, and his siblings (Louise
and Alree) moved to Tampa, Fla. After graduating from G. S. Middleton Senior High School,
he enrolled at Florida A & M University, Tallahassee, Fla. pursuing a major in Industrial Arts
Education and a minor in Tailoring.
Richard came to St. Marys County 1941
at the end of his sophomore year, seeking temporary summer employment for financing his
education at Florida A & M University. Employment as a construction worker was in great
demand at Patuxent River, Naval Air Station. A
carpenters assistant was the only job available
to him at that time. After working for a couple
of months, he found the money so attractive that
his college plans were postponed.
In 1951, he married the love of his life,
Ruth Barnes, after a seven year courtship. They
were a loving and devoted couple often seen
holding hands. They were a terrific team working together on many endeavors in St. Marys
County. In 1961, Richard entered Bowie State
University and graduated in 1964 with a B.S.
Degree in Elementary Education. In 1973, he
received his Masters Degree in Elementary
Education from The George Washington University. Richard was so dedicated to the pursuit
of education, that he would frequently corner
family members asking them about their education plans. Richard and Ruth were instrumental
in organizing the Portee Family Reunion Committee and establishing the Portee Family Education Scholarship.
Richards interest in relationship building
in the community dated back to the time when
he was a member of the St. Robert Bellamine
study group at Cardinal Gibbons Institute,
Ridge, Maryland. Even though their work to
change segregation policies was unpopular at
the time, it preceded the 1954 Supreme Courts
decision that outlawed segregation in the United
States. He continued his efforts for harmony in
the community in the 1980s while he was chairman of the St. Marys County Human Relations
Commission.
Richard strongly believed in the phrase,
Study, prepare yourself, and then, someday
your chance will come. His involvement in
community, civic, and church activities certainly reflects those words. To name a few of
his accomplishments in St. Marys County; he
organized and was Scoutmaster of the first African American Boy Scout Troop, he was the first
African American radio personality and hosted
the popular Rocking With Richard Show (his
theme song was, House on the Hill), he was a
member of the first integrated all-male church
choir, and he operated the first tailor shop in the
Springers Men Store.
In addition to the aforementioned accomplishments, Richard served on the Maryland
State Teachers Association Bylaws and Rules
Committee, the St. Marys County Ethics Commission, the Parks and Recreation Committee,
and the Jail Advisory Committee for building
the St. Marys County Detention Center. He
Obituaries
received the Bowie State University Distinguished Alumni Award in 1997 from NAFEO,
he was on board of directors of LOTT Enterprise of Maryland, the board of directors of
Pathways, a member of the Steny Hoyers Black
History Month Breakfast Planning Committee,
and was awarded the Southern Maryland Community Action Agencys Senior Volunteer of
The Year.
After working many years as a classroom
teacher at Leonardtown Elementary School,
Richard retired in 1983. Some of his proudest
moments were when he was invited back to
Leonardtown Elementary School to present the
annual Richard Portee Award to a 5th grader
who (1) possessed self-determination, (2) exhibited strong moral character, (3) respected others,
and (4) had the ability to overcome obstacles and
achieves success through positive educational
means.
Richard leaves loving remembrances in
the hearts of his devoted son Ralph (Laurita)
and grandchildren Lauren and Ralph Theo
Portee, II, Ashton, Maryland and many loving
nieces, nephews, cousins, friends and former
students. Richard was preceded in death by his
cherished wife Ruth, his parents, sister, brother,
devoted nephew Alree, Jr., aunts, uncles, in-laws
and many cousins.
Family received friends for Richards Life
Celebration on Wednesday, Oct. 22 from 10:30

Church, 22375 Three Notch Road, Lexington

Arc of Southern Maryland

Recognizes Local Businesses
In Our
Community
By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
The Arc of Southern Maryland is making an effort to
recognize local employers during National Disability Employment Awareness Month.
There are a number of employers that employ individuals with developmental and physical disabilities, some of
whom are clients of the Arc of Southern Maryland, according to Arc of Southern Maryland Development Manager
Nkeshi Free.
Supporting businesses that employ individuals with
disabilities deserve recognition for two reasons, Free said
supporting them allows them to continue employing people
and they deserve the recognition for supporting their communities. For the community as a whole, seeing individuals
with disabilities in everyday locations removes the stigma
associated with disabilities, Free said.
Having a job is a huge confidence booster for individuals with disabilities, Free said. It allows them to have a measure of independence and gives them a confidence boost.
She has known people through the Arc of Southern Maryland who have moved into independent living situations and
purchased their own vehicles because of the local employers
who gave them a chance.
The Arc of Southern Maryland recognizes local
You never know what you can do until you do it, Free
businesses for supporting individuals with disabilities. said.
Getting employed is not easy, and its been getting more
challenging,
Free said. Employers are depending more and

Health Fair Makes

Its Way to Higher
Education Center
By Lauren Procopio
Staff Writer
On Friday Oct. 24 the Southern Maryland Higher Education Center hosted the annual St. Marys County Department of Aging and Human Services Health Fair from
8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The event was for all
ages, but the majority of the attendees were
senior citizens. The fair had over 75 exhibitors, which were lined up and down the
hallway of the higher education center. The
participants were able to benefit from skin;
vision; hearing and leg vein screenings, receive their flu shot from Medstar St. Marys
Hospital Health Connections for $20, find
out their blood pressure and body mass index (BMI) and information about balance
and falls and their pulse oximetry, which is a
technique used to monitor oxygenation. The
fair also had several presentations including
Medical Orders for Life; Living with Diabetes; Identification Theft and Telemarketing Fraud; and the Ebola Virus, which was
added to the event due to the recent outbreak

of the virus.
We are so pleased to offer this important and up-to-date information about the
Ebola virus and how it relates to our community, said event coordinator Jennifer
Stone. This topic is timely and relevant and
the Health Fair will serve as a great opportunity to educate the community about the
virus. Knowledge and good preparation are
the keys to remaining safe, she said.
The health fair handed out door prizes
and gift cards and the Sheriffs Office collected expired and outdated prescription
medications. The event also had a commercial shredder truck from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30
p.m. for attendees to dispose all their unwanted documents.
The event was free and pre-registration
was not required.
The Higher Education Center is located
at 44219 Airport Road in Hollywood.

Margaret Medley Gibbons

By Linda Reno
Contributing Writer
Margaret Medley married Thomas Gibbons, a widower with five grown children, January 1, 1820. On April 12 of that year, Thomas
made his will and by June 13 he was dead. Margaret, no spring chicken herself, then lived with
a sister, Elizabeth (Medley) Baxter, wife of John
Baxter. Later she lived with the family of John
Wherritt.
On December 30, 1823 Margaret sent word
to James Hebb (executor of her husbands will)
that she wanted to see him. He found Margaret
very ill and close to death. She asked him to write
her will in which she bequeathed all of her estate
to Mrs. Susan Wherritt and Susans daughters,
Rebecca and Betsy Wherritt. Hebb wrote the will

as directed, read it to her, and she acknowledged
the document as her will. The witnesses were
James Hebb, Margaret Ford and Catherine Ford.
Within a few hours Margaret died.
When it came time to probate the will, John
Baxter filed a caveat with the Orphans Court
saying he intended to prove that Margaret was of
unsound mind and after she made the will she
regretted the same frequently after signing the
same, and declared that she did not wish that to
be considered her will.
On June 8, 1824 James Hebb was questioned. He said that Allanson Ford who lived with
Mr. Wherritt came for him and and told him that
Mrs. Gibbons was very sick and wished to see
him. He said he had known Margaret Gibbons
A Journey Through Time

The
17-18 years and while the report of the neighborhood was that she was hysterical and did take a
little too much to drink at times he himself never
saw her out of the way. Mr. Hebb said Margaret
told him the reasons for making her will as she
had done was in consequence of ill treatment by
Mr. and Mrs. Baxterthat she had rather see
her property in the river than see it go to them
and that her then sickness had been occasioned
by attending on them. Margaret died with three
to four hours after making her will.
Mr. Hebb was asked what Mrs. Gibbons
estate consisted of and he answered A note of
hand of James Hebb for $400, a bed and some
other little articles.
Mrs. Margaret Ford was then questioned.
Chronicle
She had known Mrs. Gibbons eight years. She

said Margaret had been sick 8-10 days before the
will was made. Mrs. Ford said she found her
[Margaret] very low, did not think she would die
as soon as she did, and she was perfectly in her
senses. When asked if when Margaret lived with
the Baxters if they lived peaceably and friendly,
she responded she never saw anything to the
contrary.
Mr. Hebb added that when Margaret lived
with the Baxters, she was charged room and
board.
The court adjourned to the second Tuesday
in July 1824 but on that date and for months after
I found no further record of this case. The will
was probated on Feb. 24, 1826.

Get the Zout Out
By Shelby Oppermann
Contributing Writer
You're cordially invited to our
Oh gosh, its happening. I am starting to be that person who walks around with
glasses on top of her head looking all over the house for her glasses. But for me, it
wasnt glasses (though I am pretty sure I have done that too) it was spot remover. I
swear it must have been a half hour or more that I was walking all over the house
looking for my Zout laundry spot remover. Where was it? Hanging from my hand
along with a piece of mail I was taking to the mailbox. My husband didnt even notice
it there while I was muttering, Where the heck did I put that Zout? I just had it! And
of anything in the house, Zout is the last thing I want to lose.
Speaking of Zout, if you are ever looking for a spot remover for set in carpet
stains or ink on beautifully embroidered, yet ruined tapestries from the 17th century, then Zout is for you. A few months ago we had a wonderful evening where my
husband made his famous smoked tenderloin on the smoker grill my oldest son gave
him for Christmas. I had my husband use those disposable metal trays to marinate it
in instead of my old enamelware 13 x 9 x 2s. The reason being that the smoker
grill blackens everything and the enamelware takes hours with a Brillo pad to scrub.
The only problem with the flexible metal trays is that yes, they are flexible, and will
bend and leak as you are taking said beef tenderloin down split level steps, through
the basement, and out the back door to the smoker grill. The steps didnt fare too well.
I immediately and for the next few months tried every spot remover, detergent, and
cleaner known to man on those spills that covered four or more steps. Just as I had
given up and thought, so what, Halloween is coming and we will have 50+ people
coming in and out of our home for the evening, I remembered my Magnificent Incident of the hundreds of years old tapestry.
A customer we had at the old Two Rivers gallery and Framing in Lexington Park
brought in this beautiful tapestry to be framed, but she had five young daughters at
the time who had written all over it with ink, and spilled some other stain all over it.
She said, It isnt worth it to frame it is it? I said, I thought it was still beautiful so
she gave it to me. I tacked it up over my bed for a while and then thought why dont I
spray it with Zout and hair spray like I do my clothes that get stained at work or from
painting. So I sprayed it up, threw all two feet by six feet of it in the washing machine
and dryer, and it came out beautiful and not smelling of a few hundred years of dust as
well. You can probably guess what happened next. I made the mistake of showing her
how beautiful the tapestry came out. I saw the look in her eye, and gave it back to her.
And my boss got a great framing job out of it.
My question now was (and now that I finally found that the Zout hanging in my
hand) would it work the same way on these long term stains? It did! And just like
magic. I used an old damp washcloth and sprayed each area with Zout, and they were
gone! I love it when a product works, and not even for its intended use which is ring
around the color and laundry stains. It has been around for years, but I think I have
only ever seen one commercial for it. If you go out and try to buy all my Zout, please
leave one or two for me. Or hopefully, I will get to the store before you read this and
grab a couple more. Because I think I am going to need a lot of it for the day after Halloween. Have a happy and safe Halloween everyone!!
To each new days adventure,
Shelby
