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

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.

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

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

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

GalenaGay
(Clarke Dray)

Holly wood,
MD,
passed
away on July 7,
2016 in Leonardtown, MD.
Born on April 5,
1927 in Millerburg, KY, she
was daughter
of the late Ida Ritchey and William Dray.

family, and James Dray.
She was raised on a farm by her parents;

was the middle child of three, a younger
brother William and an old sister, Mary
Morton. In the late 40s she moved to Arlington, VA and worked in the District
of Columbia where she met her husband.
They were married in 1950 and later moved
to Fort Washington, MD to raise their two
daughters. She worked as a secretary at the
neighborhood Elementary School before
serving in several different positions at the
naval Research Laboratory, Washington,
DC. She retired in 1980 with 27 years of
government service. While in Maryland,
she resided in both Prince Georges and
Charles County, MD until her last relocation to St. Marys County, MD in the early
1990s to be closer to her grandchildren.
She was extremely dedicated to the senior
community, encouraging other seniors to
get involved and participate in activities.
Her love of dancing was exhibited in her
devotion to various senior dance groups
such as the Country Steppers and Grandmas Rockers. These groups performed for
other senior organizations, nursing homes,
and local county celebrations. Her favorite partner was her long-time companion
Buddy Insley. Every day until the very
day before she went into the hospital for
the last time she had breakfast with the
breakfast group at McDonalds in Leonardtown, MD. She enjoyed yoga, arts crafts
and crosswords. Gay cherished her friends
for their companionship and support not
only to her but to each other throughout
the years. She will truly be missed by those
who knew her and loved her.
The family will receive friends on Tuesday, July 12, 2016 from 5:00 PM 8:00 PM

will instruct this introductory series of
classes at the Loffler Senior Activity
Center on six consecutive Wednesdays
from 1-4 p.m. beginning July 27 and
finishing on Aug. 31. The cost for this
class is $175-$200 depending on your
choice of container and includes 18
hours of professional instruction, quality tools and the supplies necessary
to complete the projects. Payment is
made to instructor on the first day of
class. To register for this class, call
301-737-5670, ext. 1658 or stop by the
reception desk at Loffler. Deadline for
registration is Wednesday, July 20.

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.
