County Behind In
Law Officer Pay
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
When it comes to salaries for St. Marys
sheriffs deputies and corrections officers
a commissioned study showed that they
are behind their counterparts in neighboring jurisdictions and it will take millions of dollars to bring them up to parity.
The county lags behind by nearly 10
percent at the start of a law officers career and about 12 percent behind at the
midpoint of their careers, an analysis
from Phoenix-based consultant the Frank
& Wheeler Group showed.
At the Commissioners of St. Marys
County budget work session Tuesday,
commissioners committed to funding
the money needed to bring the sheriffs office employees up to parity.
Well just do it all at once, said Commissioner Tom Jarboe during an interview the day after the decision.
The report showed that it would take
a total of $1.143 million to bring salaries
for both position types up to par with
Southern Maryland neighbors. The study
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
divided the cost up with $843,636 additionally to the budget for sheriffs deputies and $299,538 for corrections officers.
For corrections officers the starting
salaries are 7 percent behind the region
and 16.9 percent behind when a corrections officer reaches the midpoint of their
career, the analysis stated.
Commissioner John OConnor, whose
wife serves as a sheriffs deputy, said he
wanted to ensure that the gaps in salaries
were made up quickly.
I dont want to piece meal this,
OConnor said. I think were 15 years
behind the power curve as far as Im
concerned.
Last year OConnor proferred a bill
that would have allowed collective bargaining for sheriffs deputies but three
commissioners voted against it.
The study provided by Frank &Wheeler did not take into account other fringe
benefits of employment with the sheriffs
office.

SMECO Rates
To Increase
The Southern Maryland Electric Cooperatives (SMECO) plans to increase electricity rates on consumers have been approved by the state but not quite as much as
the utility had originally proposed.
The Maryland Public Service Commission approved a $17.3 million increase as
opposed to the $19.2 million SMECO had
wanted.
The new rates became effective Teusday
with average SMECO customers bill set to
increase by about 4.6 percent each month.
SMECO filed for the rate increase back

in September based in part because of their
projected growth and to help pay for their
Southern Maryland Reliability Project
which seeks to create a strengthened electrical delivery loop around the region at a
cost of $108 million.
Based on the record in this case, the
commission found that the revenue increase was both just and reasonable for the
utility and its customers and will not unduly burden any one class of customers, the
commission stated regarding its decision.

Officials To Offer Jail

Plan Next Week
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
After continual debate about how to

move forward with the future of the countys adult detention center, the Commissioners of St. Marys County requested that
the county sheriff, the head jailer at the
center and the public works chief to come
up with a plan and options for next weeks
commissioner meeting.
Currently the county has budgeted about
$487,000 for architectural and engineering
for fiscal 2017, the design work according
to George Erichsen, head of the Department of Public Works and Transportation,
is about 70 percent complete.
The countys capital improvements program (CIP) calls for a 64-bed addition that
can be used to segregate the female popula-
tion, which has grown in recent years according to law officers.

That project is set to cost about $4.6 million and with the other upgrades to security, the floor, cell doors and air-conditioning
makes the entire jail renovation cost come
to $14.6 million.
Some, like Commissioner Mike Hewitt,
have postulated that $4.6 million could
be used towards building an entirely new
facility.
As it stands the new population pod
could be used house inmates in swing
space during planned renovations.
The construction of the housing portion
is set to begin in the summer of 2017.
But the mandate from the commissioners could have the three officials come back
with a plan that diverges from the CIP.
Commissioner Tom Jarboe, however,
thought that was unlikely.

With just one week to do that, I dont
see how they could change it too much,
Jarboe said. I think theyre just going to
come up with one option and I think we
will approve it unless its ridiculously cost
prohibitive.
Commissioners also perused the projections for the countys operating budget in
fiscal 2017.
According to county budget figures
property tax revenues have increased by
about 1.7 percent to $106.8 million, while
income taxes increased by $1.6 million to
$88.3 million total.
The entire operation budget is expected to increase by $3.7 million to $219.2
million.
Residents Reminded to Get Screened

for Colorectal Cancer
March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month and the St. Marys County
Health Department reminds residents to
get screened. Most colorectal cancers are
found in people age 50 or older; therefore, it
is recommended that everyone get screened
at age 50. If you have symptoms or high risk
factors, you may need to be screened before

age 50. Despite being very preventable,
colorectal cancer is among the top three
cancer killers in the country. Early screening is the most valuable form of protection
against colorectal cancer.
The health department offers eligible un-
derinsured residents free colorectal cancer

screening and navigation services. For more
information, please visit the health departments website at www.smchd.org

Caf Des Artistes

Welcomes New Owner
By Crista Dockray
Staff Writer
Chef Brian Wilson, the executive chef of

Montmartre, a French restaurant on Capitol
Hill, has purchased Caf Des Artistes.
It was a dream come true, we were so
worried about leaving this big hole here we
thought we would just be shutting down, said
owner Karleen Jaffres.
According to Karleen, the deal went
through Tuesday night when Wilson signed
the lease to the building and purchased the
restaurant.
Wilson said he had found out about the
restaurant through his father, who was classmates with one of the Cafs customers, and
approached the Jaffres just after the first of the
year to express his interest.
Wilson told the County Times that this is
the first restaurant he has owned. He said that
it has been a dream of his for sometime to take
the next step from executive chef to owner.
With the purchase finalized, the Caf will
close its doors this Sunday and take an allotted
three weeks to clean up and move out.
We have spent more time here than out our
home for the last 17 years, said Karleen.
Wilson will then come in around April
to set up and then plans to open somewhere
around late May into early June.
The new restaurant will be keeping the
French style, but according to Wilson, the
menu will be tweaked a bit to include a com-
bined rustic country, classic, and modern feel.

Wilson said that he has had much experience with French food, including his first job
and current job, and considers Mediterranean
food his main focus and specialty.
Although the menu will still have the same
types of food, the name of the restaurant will
be changed. The name has yet to be set in stone
as Wilson is still contemplating what will be a
good fit for the restaurant and Leonardtown.
I hope to continue the same mentality, hospitality and warmth as Caf des Artistes and I
hope that customers will feel as welcome in
my house and they did in the Jaffres, said
Wilson.
Karleen and Loic are very pleased about the
new owner.
Not only is Brian a good chef, he is also
very intelligent, said Karleen.
They are happy that he will be continuing
the French theme.
Ive had so many people say Where am
I going to get my escargot? and Ive never
tasted foie gras like this. They are still going
to be able to get it and thats whats great, said
Karleen.
As for Loic and Karleen after their last day,
they will be flying down to Florida to help
Karleens parents move to Pennsylvania. For
now, they will be keeping their home base in
St. Marys County until they figure out their
future plans.

Promote Awareness
of Developmental Disabilities
With the theme Inclusion is within Everyones Ability as a backdrop the Commissioners of St. Marys County proclaimed March
2016 Developmental Disability Awareness
Month. The event is held to remind everyone
that everyones lives are made much richer
when individuals open their minds and hearts
to those who have different perspectives and
experiences.
We want to highlight the many ways in

disabilities come together to form strong, diverse communities and the openness to learn
and acknowledge each individuals contribu-
tion and focus on the abilities of all people, said

Commissioner John OConnor (3rd District).
Commissioners pledged to offer full support
to efforts that assist people with developmental
disabilities to make choices which enable them
to live successful lives and realize their potential. They also urged all citizens to get to know
someone with a disability and ask Whats Your
Story? and to remember that every persons
story holds a promise to educate and inspire
others.

Police Investigate
Convenience Store Death
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
Drugs may be a contributing factor in

the death of a man found at Leonardtown
convenience store, say county narcotics
investigators.
Capt. Daniel Alioto, commander of the
sheriffs office Vice/Narcotics Unit, said
the death investigation remains a joint effort
between narcotics officers and the Criminal
Investigation Division detectives.
There are indicators that illegal substances are in play, Alioto told The County
Times.
The exact cause of death had yet to be determined, though, he said, as the deceased
was set to undergo an autopsy by the Medical Examiners Office in Baltimore.
The man was found at about 6:30 a.m.
Monday in the bathroom of the Dash-In
store on Point Lookout Road when deputies
were called to look into the welfare of a man
who was believed to be sleeping there.
Police say they have notified the family
of the deceased man but are not releasing
his name as it is a death investigation.

What Type Of Experience

Will You Be Voting For
In This Election?
The full front page cover of the Feb. 11 County
Times featured two board members Cathy Allen and
Mary Washington with a not so subtle message, Incumbents Say There is No Substitute for Experience.
Allen, Washington are Longest Serving on School
Board. This certainly gives the impression that the
County Times is endorsing these two current board
members.
Both Allen and Washington are part of those horrendous budgets and wasteful spending which took
place under the departed superintendent Dr. Michael
Martirano and past Board of Education Chair Sal
Raspa. Cathy Allen and Mary Washington believe
there is no substitute for their experience. Let me refresh your memory on their experience; out of control
budgets, $6.4 million dollar loss which was blamed on
a pregnant woman, and the $400,000 salary and perks
paid to Martirano. How many more payoffs were hidden? Is this the type of experience you are willing to
place back onto the Board of Education?
Americans are tired of the entrenched politicians
who give lip service to the public while wasting our
hard earned tax dollars. Both Cathy Allen and Mary
Washington with 36 years combined service on the
School Board have definitely become too comfortable
and do not challenge how money is spent. My latest
observation on this years budget work session shows
both Allen and Washington were not prepared to discuss the down and dirty of the budget. Mary Wash-
ington was quoted in this article for the importance of

Kindergarten Para educators, but yet did not push for
paras when she voted on this years budget. Cathy Allen states se has learned her lesson on rubber stamping. Possibly she does not understand the meaning because this is exactly what she and Mary Washington
do, rubber stamp. This brings me back to my point
of entrenched politicians who give lip service.
Electing Rita Weaver and Karin Bailey was a good
start to breaking up the dysfunctional Board of Education, but the voters need to complete the job. Unfortunately, Mary Washington will go unopposed,
unless someone is willing to challenge her a write-in
candidate. Cathy Allen will need to faceoff in the primary against two other candidates. One candidate is
Chris Krush. I have personally known Chris Krush
for over 20 years. His 30 years of experience teaching in the classroom plus coaching sports makes him
the ideal candidate. He understands the needs of the
teachers and staff and will have a watchful eye over
the budget and how our tax dollars are spent. This is
no substitute for the school board being Good Sheppards of the publics money and Chris Krush will that
watchdog. So I ask the public, what type of experience will you be voting for in this election? A rubber
stamp or a watchdog?

Gov. Touts Ties To Rural Maryland
15
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
During his campaign Gov. Larry
Hogan promised to make the needs of
Southern Maryland a priority of his
administration. He came to St. Marys
County over the weekend to show he
was making good on that promise.
His visit comes at a time when he is
facing considerable opposition in the
Democrat controlled legislature but is
still enjoying considerable statewide
popularity across party lines.
Local Republican leaders and rank and
file members greeted Hogan warmly.
Hogan was keen to announce local
transportation improvments on his trip,
including the replacement of a bridge on
Route 234 often used by county residents
here as well as Charles County residents.
He also shared plans for the widening
of Route 5 in Ridge from Camp Brown
Road to Lake Conoy Causeway at a cost
of $13.5 million.
We have not forgotten about Southern Maryland, Hogan told a crowd
gathered at Buzzys Country Store.
Were answering your call.
For years, St. Marys County leaders
and residents asked for help to fix the
traffic and safety concerns that plague
Route 5.
Transportation projects, and the funding to make them possible, is also a political fight brewing in Annapolis.
Democrats have footed a bill that
would remove prioritization of projects
from the governor and put it more in the
hands of legislative leadership.
Hogan and his supporters have mounted opposition to the legislation; several
of the projects he touted in Southern
Maryland would not have been possible
if the bill had been passed last year, his
administration has claimed.
It is not the only political battle shaping up in the legislature but Hogans
strategy seems to be to govern in the
field and detach from Annapolis when
possible.
Were making a lot of progress but
they overrode six vetoes of ours, Hogan said at his stopover in Ridge. Were
just trying to survive the legislature.
His opponents appear to be readying
more legislative stumbling blocks for
him.
Students at Little Flower School welcome Governor Hogan and First Lady Yumi Hogan.
We have not
forgotten about
Southern Maryland,
were answering
your call.
Democrats have put forward new gun
control legislation, including one bill
that would forbid anyone on the FBIs
terrorist watch list from possessing
firearms.
Members of Hogans own party in
Annapolis have said Democrats are
doing it to set up another veto battle, forcing Hogan to reject the laws
only to have his decrees overrid-

den, culminating in a political loss.

But Hogans strategy of seeking strength
in communities that supported him and
not giving his opponents a close target
made sense, said Todd Eberly, professor
of political science at St. Marys College
of Maryland.
Hogan won by such wide margins in
Southern, Western and Eastern Maryland, more so that other Republican candidates had, it was only natural for him
to bolster the base that propelled him to
victory, he said
He understands that its not the general assembly thats going to elect him,
Eberly said. Hogan won because of the
share of Democrats and independent
voters he won over.
He also won because in Republican
areas he won by wider margins.
Issues like gun control mimmicked
Democrats failed strategy in 2014 when
they tried to paint him as an extremist of
the right; it ultimately failed to elect then
Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown.
It was possible it could backfire on
Democrats this time, Eberly said, if Hogan could continue to govern from the
center.
Theyre [Democrats] hoping they can
create a wedge issue to drive between
independents and Democrats, Eberly
said, adding though that as things stand
now Hogan may stand a better than even
chance of getting re-elected in 2018.
If that happens he could get to redraw
the election districts, Eberly said. And
they will look nothing like they do now.
Commissioner Todd Morgan said Hogan was able to tour the base at Patuxent River Naval Air Station for the first
time, allowing him a better understanding of the work being done there.
He got a whiff of whats going on
down there, that $7.5 billion economic
engine in the state, Morgan said. Its
critically important.
Despite Hogans trials in the legislature, Morgan said the people of Southern
Photo by Guy Leonard
Maryland were solidly behind him.

I dont think the legislature is reflective of the mood in the state, Morgan
said. Hes kept his word on everything.
The day before at the Southern Maryland Higher Education Center in California, Hogan said he was working to
tackle the growing heroin problem in the
state, which has affected urban and rural
communities alike.
He has submitted legislation that
would stregthen prosecution of gang
members and drug dealers in much the
same way the federal RICO [racketeering, influence and corrupt organizations] Act does.
He also wanted to strengthen the prescription drug monitoring program by
ensuring distributors were mandated to
register in the program.
Our state cannot afford to leave anybody behind, Hogan said.
Later that day at a dinner for the Soil
Conservation District, Hogan made just
a short visit but drew broad praise from
the crowd of farmers and conservationists for his quick speech.
The war on rural Maryland is over,
Hogan said. Youve got a seat at the
table.
Commissioner Tom Jarboe was heartened by Hogans visit, especially since
he was able to bend the governors ear
and talk about the countys efforts to diversify the local economy.
Hes very concerned about economic
diversity, Jarboe said. But one suggestion I made was that when the state
sends out trade delegations to other
countries they send people from Baltimore, Prince Georges and Montgomery counties. They never send Southern
Maryland people.
But St. Marys County people have
what overseas buyers want with the unmanned systems.

Three County Robotics

Teams Advance to
World Championship
St. Marys County was well represented at the Maryland State VEX IQ
Championship on Saturday, Feb. 20,
in Towson. Seven county teams advanced to the State level after strong
performances at the local CSM Maryland Qualifier and the Ft. Washington
State Qualifier earlier in the month.
After some very tough competition
against 31 of the best teams in Maryland, two local teams earned invitations to compete at the World Championship in Louisville, K.y. April 19
through 23.
Ridge Elementary School: team
RES Rockets earned the Elementary
Excellence Award. Excellence is the
top award and given to the team that
exemplifies overall excellence in the
VEX IQ robotics program. Areas
considered for the award are rankings in the teamwork challenge, robot
skills, programming skills, design
and engineering, STEM Research
Project presentation, other judged
areas such as sportsmanship, team
spirit and overall quality of the robotics program.
Spring Ridge Middle School: team
Roboclan and team Oblivion both
received invitations to the World
Championship.
Team Roboclan received the STEM
Research Project Award for their
project on alternative energy sources. STEM Research is given to the
team that best demonstrates, through
their presentation and discussion with
judges, their understanding of the research process and their ability to develop and effectively share the results
of their STEM Research Project topic.
Team Oblivions skills ranking was
excellent and they were invited to fill

one of only two wildcard slots for the
state based on their overall performance is Robot Skills.
The VEX IQ program continues to
gain momentum in Southern Maryland, doubling in size over the past
two years. The program is part of the
VEX Robotics Competition (VRC)
and was designed to bridge the gap
between LEGO league and VEX.
The programs success is largely due
to the College of Southern Maryland
(CSM, which has taken the lead on
the regions robotics programs,) from
helping develop new teams to hosting the numerous robotics leagues
and competitions. CSM is a critical
component to our students success in
these programs.
Both Ridge Elementary and Spring
Ridge Middle School share another
common thread: both programs received their VEX IQ equipment and
competition tables from The Patuxent
Partnership (TPP) as part of a STEM
initiative to bring robotics programs
to local schools. According to The
Partnerships Executive Director,
Bonnie Green, Robotics is one of the
most popular STEM programs in the
nation. Whether it is VEX, LEGO,
FRC, Botball or some other division,
having a viable robotics program in
every school should be our goal if we
are serious about growing our future
STEM workforce.
Northrop Grumman Corporation

Scott Stewart, NGC Corporate
Lead Executive, has been a proponent
of STEM-for-All activities and believes that STEM education and initiatives at an early age can change the
way our children view themselves,
and their decisions about education
and career paths as they mature.
Initiatives such as robotics allow a
wide range of students to experience
STEM and STEM related education
without being enrolled in specialized
courses or class rooms. These are
the students that we need to target for
outreach the ones that dont have
daily access to the technology and
equipment found in the STEM AcadTeam Oblivions
emies, said Stewart.

Active Heroes, Carry the Fallen Ruck March

By Crista Dockray
Staff Writer
Active Heroes is a 501(c)(3) organization that raises money for veterans, spreads
awareness about suicide prevention and
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD.)
According to the team leader of Maryland, Janell Conner, 22 veterans a day commit suicide.
Active Heroes goal is to turn that number to zero.
The money raised through Active Heroes goes towards a 144-acre retreat located in Shepherdsville, K.Y., which is open to
veterans and their families free of charge.
The idea of the retreat is to separate
from the stress of daily life, get away to a
relaxing environment, and heal invisible
wounds.
Veterans and their families can stay in
the cabins provided and participate in activities and services offered like archery,
counseling, legal advice, swimming, fishing, canoeing, kayaking, music lessons,
massages, reflexology, camping, cookouts,
and hiking.
Not only does Active Heroes provide the
retreat, but they help in anyway they can.
Conner said that Active Heroes is helping
her husband, who suffers from PTSD, to
get a PTSD dog and she has seen the organization help rebuild a veterans home.
If you come to them and you need help,
they are there, said Conner.
Active Heroes will be holding a national
event called Carry the Fallen. The idea of
the event is to spread awareness to both
veterans that need the help and to those
that would like to help the veterans by
donations.
In 2014, $200,000 was raised across the
United States from the Carry the Fallen
events.
The Mighty Mud Ducks, Conners team,
hopes to raise $5,500 and currently is at
$1,382.
Conner will be holding a Carry the Fallen event on Saturday, March 12 in Chesapeake Beach.
The event will include a 6-mile ruckmarch through Chesapeake Beach and
North Beach.
The event will start at 9 a.m. at the
American Legion Post 206 with an opening ceremony that will have color guard
from Northern High Schools JROTC and
an opening prayer. During the march they
will stop at the Veterans memorial where
Conner will say a few words about Active
Heroes and what they do and then participants will hear a few personal stories.
After the march will be a ceremony
where everyone who helped raise $100 or
more will receive a military patch.
Conner will then be offering pizza at the
North Beach Volunteer Fire Department
(NBVFD) where she and her husband are
both volunteer fire fighters.
If you would like to participate in the free
event, you can register online at www.fundraise.activeheroes.org/chesapeake-beach/
events/carry-fallen-chesapeake-beach-md/
e67553.
To donate online visit www.fundraise.
activeheroes.org and search for Mighty
Mud Ducks. You can donate at the event in
either cash or check.
Conner would like to give a special
thanks to Ledo Pizza, Dominos Pizza,
Connie ODell with the town of Chesapeake Beach, the American Legion Post
206, NHS JROTC color guard, Chesapeake
Beach Resort, and the NBVFD.
If you have questions about the event
or Active Heroes visit the Active Heroes
website at activeheroes.org or find them on
Facebook.
To all our proud veterans, if youre
having dark days and you need to talk, 2
p.m. or 3 a.m., I am here. Charlie Mike,
said Conner. Her cell phone number is
443-949-1372.
The Veterans Crisis Hotline number is
800-273-8255.

The Arc Makes Art
Photos Provided by Nkeshi Free
By Crista Dockray
Staff Writer
Currently on display at the Arc of
Southern Maryland are handmade sunflowers and painted landscapes.
The pieces of art were painted by the
clients both individually and in a group
setting with the help of Suzanne Shelden, an artist and owner of Shelden Studios, and Nevin Bossart, an artist whose
specialty is in sunflowers, said Connie
Willoughby Senior Vocational Support
Professional.
Shelden and Bossart worked with the
clients of the Arc at the American Chestnut Land Trusts Chili Cookoff where
the clients helped create the handmade
sunflower centerpieces.
Shelden and Bossart enjoyed working
with the Arc so much that they decided
to come in and help the clients create
their own artwork to hang on the walls.
Almost once a week from October to
December, Shelden and Bossart volunteered their time to assist in the fun and
help the clients bring out their creativity.
Blick was kind enough to donate all of
the canvases for the clients to work with.
When all the work was finished and
hanging on the walls, the Arc held an
Art Opening on Jan. 19. Invited were
board members, staff, family members,
and clients.
Shelden and the Arc hope to do another round of artwork, this time focusing on watercolor. The Arc is currently seeking an artist to reach out and
volunteer.

PET OF THE WEEK
What does
prescription
drug misuse
and abuse
look like?
Attend one of these two events to find out.
My name is Kitty. I was born

in April of 2015. I am super
friendly. I run over to my foster
mom to be petted. I really like
people. I am one lucky girl as I
was rescued from the kill shelter
where they euthanized 204 cats
per month in 2015. I was rescued
along with my three baby kittens.
They no longer need me and I
am fully vetted and ready to find
a home of my own. Since I am an
adult, you could foster to adopt
me once your application is approved. That way you could see
if I would be a good fit for your
family and other pets.
What do you think? Please
give me a chance. I will usually
be at the Petco in California on
Saturdays and Sundays between
11 and 3 p.m. You can fill out an
application at www.feralcatrescuemd.org and email it to diane@
feralcatrescuemd.org. I cant wait

to meet you.
Yours truly, hopefully,
Kitty
P.S. Please spay and neuter

your pets. Please consider being

be saved from death.

structure to expand the series
in 2017 and bring national exposure to the premiere series.
A new television and digital
platform will be introduced along with
a revised national point's contingency
fund to bring more awareness to the
IDBL. These are just a few of the highlights IRGSE is looking to implement
next season.
"IRGSE is committed to the IDBL
Series," stated Chris Lencheski, IRGSE
Vice Chairman of the Board and CEO.
"The IRGSE Board of Directors have already begun to work on growing the series and plan to build the 2017 program
with a larger national point's contingency fund. We also want to bring awareness to the IDBL racers, their personal
sponsors and racing family via our television and digital strategy," Lencheski
continued.
"The IDBL racers and fans are some
of the most loyal people in racing. I have
experienced it firsthand at Maryland
International Raceway," commented
Royce Miller, IRGSE COO. "I am excited to see this series grow and gain the
recognition it deserves."

BLEACHERS
A View From The
Thinking
Downstream
By Ronald N. Guy Jr.
Contributing Writer
Last fall, Katina Powell, a previously unknown former escort, published her book Breaking Cardinal
Rules: Basketball and the Escort
Queen. It exposed a sordid trail of
debauchery that will, if confirmed,
leave a lasting stain on the storied
basketball program at the University of Louisville and on the record
of Rick Pitino, its Hall of Fame head
coach.
In the book, Powell alleges that
from 2010 through 2014, Andre McGee, a former player, Graduate assistant and Director of Basketball
Operations at Louisville, financed
several parties at an on-campus location where escorts provided, shall
we say, adult services to Louisville basketball players and recruits.
McGee has since resigned from
the University of Missouri-Kansas
City, where he was an assistant basketball coach. Pitino has steadfastly
denied any knowledge of the alleged
parties and remains on the Louisville bench. Think about that: One
of the most powerful men on campus
and the face of the athletic department, if not the entire university,
claims ignorance of parties that supposedly happened nearly two dozen
times over a four-year period. Maybe Pitino is innocent, but if these allegations prove true, his institutional control was incompetent. If this
was a football program with dozens
of coaches and 100-plus players, Pitinos story might be plausible. But
basketball? A sport with a handful
of assistants and a roster of roughly
15 players? Unacceptable. And
lets not forget, this is the same Pitino who, in a 2009 extortion case,
admitted to an extramarital affair
and paying for his mistress abortion. Fast-forward seven years and
this man of questionable morals is
requesting the benefit of the doubt.
Louisville, in retaining his services
(and thereby determining him the
best man to lead the program and its
student-athletes), has obliged. You
wouldnt be alone in questioning
that decision.
The NCAAs investigation is ongoing, but theres apparently some
fire behind Powells smoke. A few
weeks ago and heres where it gets
complicated Louisville President
James Ramsey announced that it
was reasonable to conclude that violations had occurred and that, as
a consequence, the university would
self-impose a one-year postseason
ban, effective immediately. It is a

classic pre-emptive action ahead of
near-certain NCAA sanctions.
The significant collateral damage of such a decision, as is the case
with most NCAA scandals, is its
impact on the innocent the current
players. Few, if any, of the kids on
Louisvilles roster were involved in
these alleged parties; yet, while Pitino continues coaching and many
former players polish their 2013
NCAA championship rings, the
2015-16 Cardinals deal with the sins
of their Louisville ancestors and
their own shattered NCAA Tournament dreams.
This situation the uninvolved
present bearing the burden of the
shameful past - is so common in
major college athletics now that it is
easy to attribute it only to major college athletics. In fact, the immediate reaction to the ban wasnt to laud
Louisvilles proactive discipline or
to speculate on what the schools action means long term, it was to express sympathy for the guys wearing the colors today.
But this story isnt just about Louisville basketball. It isnt even just
about college athletics or sports at
large. Its about parents raising responsible, respectful kids and turning them over to appreciative teachers and communities. Its about
workers setting a high standard and
managers mentoring and grooming
their replacements, a collective effort that produces a healthy organization. Its about using the planets
resources judiciously and not consuming them recklessly. Its about
not attending parties with escorts,
literally or figuratively. All of us,
in all of our various roles, must remain acutely aware of those downstream and make sound, responsible
and selfless choices for them in the
present. Our efforts should produce
beneficiaries, not victims.
Visitors to the beach in Ocean
City, Maryland are greeted, at nearly every access point, by this trademark phrase: Leave only your footprints. Its a simple request: Leave
our Maryland treasure as you found
it (and feel free to improve it by
grabbing any trash on your way out).
Those who visit after you will be
glad you did. If only the forebears
of this years Louisville basketball
team had been so courteous

Williams and Quade Families

By Linda Reno
Contributing Writer
John Thomas Williams, born in 1861, was
the son of William Henry Williams (1822ca1865) and his second wife, Mary Polly
Copsey (1826-aft. 1880, widow of Jeremiah
Jerome Russell). He married Ann Maria Gray
(1869-ca1896, daughter of George E. H. Gray
and Margaret Ann Harris) on May 5, 1885 at
St. Josephs RCC. Their children were: Sarah
Frances Quade, born April 9, 1887; Mary
Dyree Quade, born August 16, 1889; Annie Gertrude Quade, born June 9, 1893; and
John Ireland Quade, born October 10, 1896.
He married second, Louise Virginia Lula
Knott on March 25, 1904. Lula died prior to
1910 and they had no children. John Thomas
Williams died July 31, 1914 of cancer of the
face. He is probably buried at St. Josephs.
Sarah Frances Williams, born April 9,

1887 married Joseph Isaac Quade (born April
5, 1892, son of Isaac Emmanuel Quade and
Lucy Ann Russell) on May 18, 1910 at St.
Aloysius. Sarah died November 27, 1963.
Mary Dyree Williams (called Dyree), born
August 16, 1889 married James Sylvester
Jimmy Quade (born July 3, 1884, son of
Richard Edward Quade and Betty Ann Pilkerton) April 4, 1904 at St. Aloysius. Dyree
died November 8, 1964.
Annie Gertrude Williams (called Gertie),
born June 9, 1893 married Joseph Lansdale
Quade (born May 2, 1882, also the son of
Richard Edward Quade and Betty Ann Pilkerton) December 16, 1908 at St. Aloysius. Joseph Lansdale Quade died October 19, 1941.
Gertie married second, Stephen Ignatius
Quade (1871-1952, son of Charles Llewellyn
Quade and his first wife, Mary Ann Gertrude
Pilkerton)
about
1943. Gertie died
December 14, 1960.
John Ireland Williams was born October
10, 1896. He married Rose Kathleen Quade
(1908-1973, daughter of Richard Edward
Quade and his second wife, Mary Florence
Gray, and half-sister of James Sylvester
Quade and Joseph Lansdale Quade) December 23, 1922. He died April 23, 1930.
I remember these ladies from my childhood. If there was anything they liked to do
it was play cards (pitch) and watch wrestling.
I can still recall the three of them clustered
around a small black and white television at
Gerties house in Hughesville rooting on their
favorite wrestlers. My parents were particularly close to Dyree and spent many Sunday afternoons playing cards at her house. She lived
in a house next to Murphys Store in Oakville.
The house, owned by Philip Graves, was torn

down many years ago.
These relationships from long ago carried
over into today. My best friends are Pearl
(Morgan) Pfuhl (Dyrees granddaughter)
and Sandy (Whitmire) Hayward (Gerties
granddaughter).
Shown here in this very charming picture
taken about 1911, are members of the Williams and Quade families. The men, from
left to right: James Sylvester Quade, John
Thomas Williams (sitting, holding his grandson James Lewis Quade, son of Mary Dyree),
John Ireland Williams, and Joseph Lansdale
Quade. The women, from left to right: Mary
Dyree (Williams) Quade, holding her son
Andrew Johnson Quade and Annie Gertrude
(Williams) Quade, holding her son Thomas
Edward Quade.
