No Charges Likely In
Amish Buggy Crash
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
As state police crash investigators continue to gather information on a vehicle
crash that overturned an Amish buggy and
sent all of its seven occupants flying to the
ground in Mechanicsville over the weekend, the commander of the local barrack
does not anticipate any charges in the case.
Lt. Thomas White, speaking in a Monday phone interview, said that the two
adults and five children ejected from the
buggy July 9 at the intersection of Culver Lane and Route 6 at about 12:30 a.m.
were badly injured in the crash but would
survive.
They are all in stable condition and with
no life threatening injuries, White told
The County Times.
According to reports from state police
the crash occurred when the Amish buggy,
traveling westbound on Route 6 on the
shoulder made a left hand turn to go down
Culver Lane where the family resided when
it was hit by a car going the same direction.
White said that Aaron Hertzler, 33, Katie
Hertzler, 30, and five children ranging in
age from eight to 15 years old were returning from a late night family project, which

was a common occurrence in the Amish


community.
He said that when the buggy made the
left hand turn the driver of the Nissan Altima that struck them, James Windell Price,
Jr. 25 of Mechanicsville, probably did not
see them make the turn.
It looks like the driver didnt see what
was in front of him, White said, adding
that horse-drawn buggies had reflective
patches and lights on them but it wasnt
enough in this incident.
On a turn they have nothing on the
sides, White said.
All seven crash victims had to be flown
out via helicopter; the adults to MedStar
Washington Hospital Center and the children to Childrens National Medical Center
in Washington D.C.
Price and the passenger in the Nissan
were treated on the scene and released.

The world-wide lauch of a new smart
phone application, Pokemon Go, in which
players use global positioning data to track
down and find animated figures on their devices is causing a stir here as well.
The popularity of the game has caught
on rapidly but is also causing problems because the application is taking people, either on foot or by vehicle, into places where
they might not be wanted or even allowed.
The new app was a big point of discussion at the Leonardtown Town Council
meeting Monday when council members
reported that they had seen people all over
town using data on their phones to hunt
down the animated pokemon figures on
their screens, even at night.
Streets on the town square Monday afternoon had visitors with necks craned
down to their phones tracking down the
elusive pokemon as well.
Council member Jay Mattingly said the
app, while fun, was already starting to
cause problems.
Its increasing suspicious activity, Mattingly said. Theres people out in the middle
of the night looking for these pokemon.
That means in some cases these people
are wandering onto or near private property in search of the pokemon.
Council member Hayden Hammett said
he saw one man down at Leonardtown
Wharf at night wearing head-mounted
lights just to search for one of the pokemon.
Its definitely getting people out, Hammett said.

Local News

Reports from around the globe show that


game players are having great fun with the
app, but there has been a darker side to its
release.
In one case it led a player to a spot where
they found a dead body, while in another
case a group of alleged armed robbers had
used the app to predict where and when
players might arrive at secluded spots to be
taken for their possessions.
In some cases it has resulted in many
blocked private driveways as pokemon
hunters stop off in their cars to make their
search.
Sheriff Timothy K. Cameron said the
apps popularity had yet to result in any
crimes committed in the county as of a
telephone interview Wednesday.
Its caused some problems, namely
tresspassing for lack of a better term,
people wandering onto private property,
Cameron told The County Times. People
are so focused on technology they dont
know whats going on around them.
Cameron said one of his deputies had
already dealt with a group of people engrossed in the game so much they had wandered into traffic.
Aside from the games dangers as a possible criminal lure it now has access to all
the players information on that cell phone.
Its now a cache potential cache of information for hackers, Cameron said. Im
hoping the fad levels off soon.

Leonardtown
Welcomes New
Dunkin Donuts
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer

For the first time in years Leonardtown now


plays host to a national franchise in its downtown
area, once solely the province of locally owned
and operated small businesses.
But town leaders were quick to point out last
week that the opening of the new Dunkin Donuts
on Washington Street was a positive addition to
the towns business family, since it too was operated by a local business owner.
Maria Icaza, not only heads up the new store
but is a fund raiser for the local Special Olympics,
a member of the Chamber of Commerce and a Rotary Club member.
Its really serving the community well, she

Maria Icaza is recognized by


Commissioner President Randy Guy

said of all the organizations she works with.


Scott Murphy, senior vice president for
Dunkin Donuts operations in the Unites States
said that Icazas work in
Leonardtown made the
opening of the new store
a special occasion.
We open about 500 stores a year,
Murphy said. But I made a special effort
to be here because of a special person.
Were a big company but were locally owned by franchisees.
Numerous residents came out to the
grand opening, including elected officials including Leonardtown Mayor
Dan Burris, council member Roger
Mattingly, Sen. Steve Waugh and Del.
Matt Morgan.
Burris said later that there were
concerns by some in the towns business community that having a franchise open up in the downtown, creating stiff competition for smaller
proprietorships.
But he believed that the new store
would be a good mix with the other
businesses in town.
Its been packed ever since it
opened, Burris said during Mondays
town council session. Its really going
to bring a lot to the downtown.

Is it an overdose?

What do I do?
The number of overdoses from heroin
are on the rise TIME IS CRITICAL.
The St. Marys County Health Department is offering the Overdose Response
Program for FREE to community members who may be able to save the life
of someone experiencing an overdose from heroin or other opioids.
Participants in this training program will learn:
how to recognize the signs and symptoms of an opioid overdose
the importance of calling 9-1-1 in medical emergencies
how to administer naloxone and care for someone until emergency
help arrives.

The county government is considering


paying nearly $2 million for 158 acres on
South Sandgates Road in Mechanicsville;
the issue will come up for debate at the
Aug. 2 meeting of the Commissioners of
St. Marys County.
Commissioner Todd Morgan said the
reason for the purchase was to provide
more boat launch space for access to the
Patuxent River.
A lot of that money is coming out of
Project Open Space funding, Morgan
said. The biggest complaint is the lack of
access for boats to the Patuxent River.
This could be a great way to do it.
Morgan called the potential purchase a good deal and a worthwhile
proposition.
Commissioner Mike Hewitt said the
purchase of land was a significant one
from a sheer size perspective.
Its going to be beach front but there
could be fields there, too, Hewitt said. It
has a really big beach.
Theres a lot of potential there.
The $1.8 million price tag was based
on an appraisal the county had commissioned, Hewitt said, and was well below
the asking price of the owners, described
in county notices as the Fortier Farm

Family Limited Partnership.


The County Times learned that the other assessment appraised the lands value
at $1.76 million.
The asking price from the sellers was
$3.5 million, Hewitt said.
The purchase could be funded by half
by the Department of Natural Resources,
Hewitt said, and when he visited the property he saw that it was about one-half or
one-third wooded with some homes and
barns on the parcel.
He said there was no preliminary plan
that he knew of to develop the property.
County Attorney George Sparling said
the commissioners would have the option
to purchase the land Aug. 2 without a public hearing.
The Maryland public meeting laws
only required that they announce the
potential purchase before the scheduled
commissioner meeting, he said.
Any public comment would be at the
allowance of the county commissioners,
Sparling said.

Partnership to Emphasize
the Positives of an Age
Diverse Workforce
From typewriter to tablet; fountain pen
to email; sticky notes to texting; group
meetings to Google Hangouts, snapshots
to Snapchat, young employees are challenging norms within the workplace.
The Patuxent Partnership (TPP), in collaboration with NextGen Professionals
and AVIAN, LLC, present Bridging the
Gap, a panel discussion focusing on the
positives of a diverse workforce, learning
to appreciate communication differences
and overcoming preconceived notions of
how work is performed.
The program will be held Tuesday, August 2 at AVIAN, LLC, just south of gate
one on Route 235. Check-in and networking reception begins at 5:00 p.m. with the
panel discussion ending by 7:00 p.m.
Todays workforce includes an expansive age range: college graduates working
their first jobs, stay at home moms re-entering the workforce, and the baby boomers who still have much to offer, well past

the typical retirement age. It is a great


opportunity for younger workers to learn
from experienced colleagues, as well as
for the more seasoned employees to learn
new technologies and ways of problem
solving from the younger generation.
Dr. Louis Hicks, Professor of Sociology at St. Marys College of Maryland,
is the panel moderator, and additional
panelists include : Kevin Switick, Chief
Executive Officer, AVIAN, LLC; Bennett
Wilson, Senior Consultant, Tech Transfer,
Hyperion Technologies, LLC; and Christina Payne, Director of Human Resources
and Recruitment, Precise Systems, Inc.

For Wounded Warriors,


The Battles Dont End
Once They Come Home
A Letter to the Editor
The day after Fathers Day, I had to tell
my husband that our grandson, Dustin
Wood, 33, died in Tallahassee, Florida. In
44 years of marriage, this was the hardest
thing I ever had to do.
Dustin tried to detox himself over two
days in order to have an artificial eye put in
place and, most important, to be free of alcohol. He lost the use of that eye after sustaining many explosions while serving two
tours each as a Marine in both Iraq and Afghanistan. He came back as a Sergeant but
also with PTSD, detached retinas, alcoholism and, most likely, brain complications.
He suffered headaches, had horrendous
nightmares and never spoke optimistically
about his future. He was a member of the
first Wounded Warrior class. We almost
lost him two years ago when his liver failed
due to alcohol poisoning. He was saved
by the doctors at the Gainesville Veterans
Hospital.
If your family has sustained such a loss,
we now understand your pain. Dustins

parents have now buried their oldest son.


We have to endure this loss as a family.
Dustin had so much promise but he took a
path that left him little hope. He wanted so
badly to go to college and have a happy life.
He is now in a better place with his fellow
Marines and all other men and women who
have given their lives for our country.
Dustin had a life well lived. He was a
good Marine and proud of it. Ten of his
Marine brothers came from all over the
United States to attend his funeral and pay
him the ultimate honor. He loved his family and his friends. He was a hunter, a fisherman, and loved bull riding.
No matter whether you have relatives
who have experienced these symptoms or
not, please give all your loving support to
the men and women who serve us faithfully and help them to have lives well lived.

The Tackle Box Fishing Report


By Ken Lamb
Special To The County Times

Cobia are in the lower bay from the Middle Grounds, the Target Ship, Smith point
and down to the Cut Channel. These big
sub-tropical fish have invaded the bay in
numbers not seen in decades. Savvy anglers are sight casting to them (big bucktail jigs), chumming and chunking them
up, and trolling big spoons and surgical
eels. The cobia have been in the area for
several weeks and some captains have
caught as many as 20 or so, but the general public is just finding out about this
bonanza of rare fish. Chumming has been
the most consistent method with frozen
chum logs providing the source for many,
but grinding your own fresh is superior,
or buying fresh ground at Buzzs Marina
at the head of St. Jeromes Creek. Fresh

alewives is the bait and chunking material. The fish will go crazy for live eels and
the bait shops will try to offer them soon.
Rockfish are up the Patuxent eager to hit
cast lures in the early morning and late evening all up and down the shoreline. Top
water lures (poppers like Atoms and Youzuri), crank baits (Bomber wind cheaters,
Rebels, etc) and bucktails ans sassy shads
will all bring strikes. The rockfish can
also be found schooled up from Sheridan
Point to marker 18 in the deep and will hit
jigged lures (Lil Bunkers by Specialized
Baits are terrific). These rockfish have to
be hunted up and if no action occurs after
20 or so casts in one location, move to the
next, sooner or later you will hit pay dirt.
The bite from Deale to the bay bridge and
further north is still terrific for
rockfish. Trolling and jigging

is
whats
happening
there; still
no spot for
live-lining.
Croaker and
white perch
dominate
the bottom
fishing. The
croaker are playing hide and seek, but when
the tide is right at sunset they will fill your
cooler. The 100 foot hole at Point Patience
is filled with croaker in broad daylight and
if you can get an anchor set and put up
with glares from passing boaters in this
narrow, heavily traveled area, the 13 to 15
inchers will bite. The croaker come to feed
from dusk to dawn in the shallows. The
Town Creek Pier has croaker, rockfish,
and white perch at night and
sometimes in the noonday
heat. Moving tide is essential.
The Potomac has plen-

ty of croaker, perch, and rockfish.


The catfishing is great in both the Patuxent
and Potomac in the upper regions. From
Benedict to the Chalk Point Power Plant
the catfish are very cooperative. Plenty of
catfish are stretched out from the Wicomico River off the Potomac to Mallows Bay.
The creeks in the Patuxent and Potomac
are loaded with perch now and will bite
small spinner baits, crank baits, and small
spoons. The Nungesser spoon and shad
dart tandem lure system is a winner. Peeler
crab and bloodworms will bring instant resluts for bottom fishermen.

Mattinglys Have
Turned Tragedy To
Hope ForOthers
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
For the past 17 years Stephen and Shirley
Mattingly have lived with the loss of their
son, who was born with Down syndrome
and died after complications from a brave
battle with leukemia.
But the small business owners have used
their pain to help others with special needs
children, so they dont have to suffer the
way their son Stephen Mattingly II had to.
Each year since the death of their son in
1999 they have held a basket bingo to benefit a charity fund for special needs children
that has raised tens of thousands of dollars
each time its held.
The Mattinglys story started 30 years
ago.
The story of us is when we met in 1986,
Shirley had a son and I had a daughter, Stephen said. And then we had Stephen we
didnt know anything about special needs
children, but to us he was just a little boy.
They quickly became involved in the
ARC of Southern Maryland and began to
learn what it took to take care of a special

needs child.
He was wonderful, love poured out of
him, Stephen said.
They slowly began to accept that their
son could do just about anything, it would
just take longer for him to learn.
Every milestone was a real accomplishment for him, Shirley said.
For six years they had a joyous time raising him and then they got the news that no
parent wants to hear, their son was diagnosed with leukemia.
A six year old boy soon began three
years of arduous chemotherapy and medicines designed to rid him of the cancer and
the Mattinglys said that their son almost
made it.
No one thought hed come out of that but
he did, Stephen said. We never thought
he wasnt going to make it.
They were prepared to receive good news
after on doctors visit but were met with
the realization that their sons cancer had
come back; during another chemotherapy

session when his intravenous connection


was being flushed he picked up an infection
and it quickly spread throughout his body.
He just said neck hurts, Stephen said,
and their son soon slipped into a coma and
never came out.

We were absolutely in shock but we said


we cannot let his memory go by the wayside, Stephen said.
The Mattinglys navigated the tragedy
of their sons death and quickly started the
memorial fund in just about a year.

Stephen Mattingly II

Shirley said the pain was difficult to


deal with but they continued on despite it.
They were surprised at the level of
support they got in the aftermath of their
sons death, but their high profile in the
community meant that Stephen was well
known and loved.
A lot of people dont know what to say
at a time like that, so they dont say anything, Shirley said, adding that they were
the constant recipients of sympathy cards.
I didnt realize he had touched so
many lives, she said.
The first basket bingo event brought in
more than $10,000 dollars that first year,
more than they expected to get.
Since then theyve raised well over
$100,000, Shirley said, to benefit special

needs children.
They even give out scholarships to
people who have helped special needs
children or who are studying to eventually help educate them.
These are the compassionate people
we want to reward, Shirley said. Its
never about their disability, its about
their ability.
With Stephen it didnt matter what he
was trying to do, as long as he got there.
Though they only had a short and turbulent time to spend with their son, he
made such an impact in their lives and
the lives of others that they say that his
life has helped to shape and define theirs.
Stephen said of all his experiences, including being a combat infantryman with
the U.S. Army in Vietnam, knowing his
son was the greatest of all of them.
The thing that makes me the person
I am, it was my life with him, Stephen
said.
The Mattinglys say that its the people
of St. Marys County that have brought
the success of their charity and the carrying on of their sons memory.
And we couldnt do it without the
community, Shirley said. Its the same
people that keep coming every year.
The basket bingo for Stephens Fund
is the only fundraiser event the organization holds all year and it takes place every
Nov.1.

calvART Gallery Presents:
ATMOSPHERES
Prince Frederick Shopping Center (Rt. 4
and 231, Prince Frederick) - Wednesday to
Sunday: 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Five Artists share their visions in clay. Featuring works by Ray Bogle, Denise Breitburg, Marie Estabrook, Randy Estabrook,
and Adam Sampson. June 8 to July 3, 2016.
Reception: June 11, 5 to 8 p.m. This show
is shaping up to be a great show with many
non-traditional clay forms, vessels and
firing techniques. The artists are excited
about their work and are eager to share
their visions with the public. Ray Bogle has
been working with clay for over 25 years.
His creations range from dramatic showspecific works to fun personal designs. His
contributions to the craft have included
teaching classes for children as well as
adults, developing a variety of forms and
glazes, and perfecting techniques in the
ancient skill of Raku. Denise Breitburg is
a marine biologist at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center with a deep
passion for the beauty and the complexity
of the natural world. She says, Everything
about pottery is magical from the hypnotic spin of the potters wheel, to the transformation of a shapeless lump to a graceful
shape, to the mystery of colors appearing
in the heat of the kiln. Marie and Randy
Estabrook are a married couple sharing the
same passion for clay. This is our creative
outlet- Randy and I make beautiful ceramic art that reflects the designs and patterns

New Beginner Ikebana Classes
atLoffler
Ikebana is the Japanese art of flower
arrangement. It is more than simply
putting flowers in a container; rather,
it is a disciplined art form in which
the arrangement is a living thing that
brings nature and humanity together.

A View From The

Bleachers
by Ronald Guy
Contributing Writer

A Platform For Change


Recent sports headlines have been dominated by an all-star NBA forward from
Maryland. No, not the Skins fan from
Prince Georges County. Oh hes gotten
plenty of run after snubbing the Wizards,
crushing dreams in Oklahoma City and
inking a deal with the Golden State Warriors, the NBAs first non-LeBron-James
Evil Empire in years. Pause The Kevin
Durant Chronicles for a moment; a former
resident of Baltimore, the land of orange,
purple and Natty Boh, stirred up far more
important publicity last week.
Im not a fan of New York Knicks forward Carmelo Anthony. Yes, hes a bigtime scorer who can flat out drain the orange. But hes an obligatory defender, his
effort is questionable and theres no evidence that he makes his teammates better.
One dimensional. Generally overrated.
Not my cup of tea.

Thats Anthony the player. But Anthony


the man and unexpected political activist?
That guy has my attention. That guy has
my respect. In an overwhelmingly sad
week that saw police shoot and kill Philando Castile and Alton Sterling and Micah
Johnson kill five officers in Dallas, Anthony took to social media to express his
outrage. Here are his paraphrased thoughts
(the post is worth reading in its entirety):
We need to steer our anger in the right
directiontowards the system. Shooting
11 cops and killing 5 WILL NOT work
we need to come together more than anything at this time. We need each other. Im
calling on my fellow athletes to step up and
take charge. Theres NO more sitting back
and being afraid of tackling and addressing
political issues anymore. THE TIME IS
NOW. DEMAND CHANGE.
When confronted with domestic or in-

ternational turmoil, I often turn to Fareed Zakarias book The Post-American


World for solace. In it, Zakaria argues
that, by historical comparison, we occupy a peaceful world, one whose cultural
and economic interconnectivity largely
mitigates dangerous political discord and
ill-intended personal or national ambition. The evidence is convincing: Weve
achieved unprecedented levels of trade
and economic prosperity; cultural barriers are reduced by travel and information
exchange, and; large scale war between
superpowers, the kind that results in
massive casualties and global instability,
doesnt exist.
Still, with alarmingly frequent terrorist
attacks and senseless killings, it is difficult to remain hopeful in humanitys grand
earthly coexistence, despite Zakarias logical, fact-based counterpoints. Human nature as it is, it seems that stereotypes will
corrupt the small-minded, greed will infect
the ambitious and religious zealotry will
distort the worship of a god into an instrument of pure evil.
The tendency for decent, loving and
well-intended individuals is to respond to
social calamity by controlling what they
can personal attitudes and actions and the
world view of youths they influence and
steadfastly remaining part of the solution.
The development of strategies that promote
the worlds safety, progressive international
relationships and the infrastructure for social fellowship and equality is deferred to a

Thursday, July 14, 2016

nations leaders, a term often synonymous


with politicians.
Given the scope of todays challenges,
that is mostly an understandable and defensible reaction. For what happened in Minnesota, Louisiana and Texas during Americas Independence week, it isnt enough.
The world has a common opponent who
is terrorizing free, peaceful people around
the globe. Yet here we are in America, the
allegedly most diverse, open and tolerant
nation in the world, struggling with senseless internal violence. We have to demand
better of ourselves, resist shameful stereotypes and appreciate and promote our common humanity.
That is part of Anthonys point. The
added layer is that while sports is a fun,
joyous reprieve from the ugliness of everyday life, there comes a time when it should
be more. Anthonys fed up and willing to
use his NBA platform to be a change agent;
hes challenging colleagues to do the same.
We should all applaud his courageous activism and stand behind him, Knicks fan or
not. Otherwise were just individuals left
rereading books or returning to other familiar outlets to soothe the pain of the latest
crisis and retain hope in our flawed species.
For me, Anthonys crusade is well-time; I
need more than Zakarias wisdom to maintain faith in this world.

Ladybugs Alive
If a ladybug lands on you its good luck.
Thats what Ive always been told anyway.
Well, what if thousands of ladybugs land
on you? Should you go buy Mega Millions
tickets or bet on a horse? Maybe so. You
can have your chance to find out over the
weekend at the Grand Opening of Ladybugs Alive at 37260 Manor Road in Chaptico! The owner of this venue is Jerry Spence
a local farmer and landowner.
And what do you need to attract the ladybugs, birds, and other insects that children, and Jerry, seem to adore? You need
flowers. So Jerry Spence has planted thousands of sunflowers and other blooms to
attract all the bugs and birds. And the neatest thing is that he has created a sunflower

maze which must be amazing! He said


he didnt want to compete with the other
farmers whove opened corn mazes, so he
started the sunflower maze which is open at
a different time of year.
The Sunflower Maze will occur on Saturday July 16.Butterflies, birds and blossoms
of all types will abound.Admission will
be $10 for children and adults over 10 years
of age, $5 for children 5 years to 10 years,
children under 5 years old free.Hours of
operation will be Thursday and Friday 12
noon to 8:30pm.and Saturday and Sunday
its 10 am to 8:30pm.
Depending on the weather, the peak
bloom should occur between July 16 and
July 24, with blossoms continuing for sev-

eral weeks thereafter.There should be


approximately 15,000 sunflowers blooming by July 16. The butterfly factory is
progressing nicely despite a very slow
start. The butterfly factory should be in
peak bloom by August 6.
Jerry Spence, as a part of his agricultural business called Designer Ag LLC, has
created a unique event for lovers of nature
in St. Marys County he hopes this will
be the start of many such ventures under
his Designer Ag business name. He says he
wanted to diversify from being a tobacco
farmer. Jerry has a geography degree, but
seems to have a knack and interest in utilizing farm land in unusual ways. He is a born
and bred St. Marys Countian, who grew
up summers working on his grandfathers
farm in Oakley. His love and concern for
the farmlands in our area shows by all the
time and effort he has put into his Ladybugs Alive event. Jerry says, Ive always
loved to grow things and plan to take that
love and apply it to my business, sharing
what I can with other gardeners and nature
lovers, and sponsoring charitable organizations in the process.
Currently Jerry is active in supporting Mother Catherine Academy, the new

29

school in Mechanicsville, Maryland. I


work with a few other local farmers to support the schools agricultural laboratory
and school garden. They are doing some
pretty amazing things there.The children
have a fascinating tomato project. They are
working on creating a unique tomato cultivar that children will enjoy. The project
will take between 6 and 10 years to complete and this is year one.
Jerry says, Thank you in advance for
your support of local agriculture and this
new venture.Last year was a blast and Im
hopeful this year will be even better.Please
check the Ladybugs Alive Facebook page
for regular updates.
Well, I dont know about you, but right
after all those ladybugs land on me, I am
running to the nearest store and buying
some lottery tickets!
