In Light of Recent Tragedies Affecting the Country

Local Churches Hold Praise in the Park
In light of the recent tragedies involving law enforcement officers across the
country, several pastors of local churches
joined in holding Praise in the Park and
other prayer events recently. The officers
and staff of St. Marys County Sheriffs
Office were specially invited guests to the
event, which was held at the Chancellors
Run in Lexington Park. The event drew a
large crowd of residents, who gathered to
pray for the community and those who are
sworn to protect it.
During the meeting, local pastors took
turns praying for the community, praying
for law enforcement officers in St. Marys
County, and praying for law enforcement
officers all over the country. The pastors
graciously allowed the invited officers
to say a few words regarding the recent
tragedies involving law enforcement offi-

cers; then all participants joined hands for

a prayer circle. After the final prayer, the
officers were warmly embraced, receiving
many hugs and expressions of appreciation
from the attendees.
The Sheriffs Office extends its gratitude
for this special event to Pastor Roderick
McClanahan of Missionary Baptist Church,
who hosted the event. Also, officers give
special thanks to Pastor John Briscoe of
Restoration Free Gospel Church, Pastor
James Bell of Gods House of Refuge, and
Pastor Jason Staten of Living Hope Church.
Lastly, the officers express their heartfelt
gratitude for the residents and members of
the congregation who offered support and
compassion to the law enforcement officers
in attendance.

Governor Larry Hogan will join Comptroller Peter Franchot in Frederick on

Wednesday, August 10, to promote and
maybe do a little shopping in advance of
the annual Shop Maryland Tax-Free Week,
which takes place
August 14-20. During
that week, any single, qualifying article
of clothing or footwear priced $100 or less
regardless of how many items are purchased at the same time will be exempt
from the states 6 percent sales tax.
Im delighted Governor Hogan will
join me to let Marylanders know about an
opportunity to keep more of their hardearned money as they shop back-to-school
sales for their children or themselves,
Comptroller Franchot said. A break on the
cost of clothing and shoes can make a real
difference and help stretch family budgets.
Local retailers also benefit with increased
foot traffic.
In addition to Frederick, the Comptroller will be promoting Tax-Free Week with
visits to stores in Takoma Park, Baltimore,
Frederick, Towson and Cambridge. Cailey
Locklair Tolle, president of the Maryland
Retailers Association, or Maddy Voytek,
legislative and membership assistant at the
MRA, will join the Comptroller at several
businesses.
Tax-free week is an excellent opportunity for Marylanders to take advantage of
apparel and footwear tax savings priced at
less than $100 per item, Tolle said. The
week provides a much-needed boost to
brick-and-mortar retailers in our state and
we encourage all consumers to support
their local businesses.
Resulting from legislation passed by the
Maryland General Assembly in 2007, the
tax-free week is held annually during the

second week in August.
Businesses selling items that are not eligible for inclusion in the tax-free week can
still participate in Shop Maryland. Under
Sellers Privilege, other unqualified merchandise can be sold tax-free, but the retailer is responsible for paying the sales tax
owed to the state.

$25MILLION IN GRANTS
FORLOCALROADS
Transportation Secretary Pete K. Rahn
today announced the Hogan Administration is making $25 million in grants available for local roads in Baltimore City and
municipalities and counties from Western Maryland to the Eastern Shore. The
Maryland Department of Transportation
has just released the application that needs
to be submitted by August 30. The grants
will be awarded to jurisdictions based on
the existing formula for the distribution of
Highway User Revenues.
One of my top priorities is investing
in roads and bridges across the state, said
Governor Larry Hogan. This funding is
essential for local jurisdictions that depend
on them for many long-overdue local road
projects.
The $25 million in grants are in addition
to the estimated $177 million in Highway
User Revenues local jurisdictions are set

to receive in fiscal year 2017. These new
funds for local roads are above and beyond
the $1.97 billion investment in road and
bridge projects that Governor Hogan announced in June 2015.
We encourage you to get your applications in quickly so we can get this funding
in your hands where it can make a difference for all Marylanders across the state,
said Transportation Rahn.
To accept the grant funds, county and
municipal leaders will sign and return the
Transportation Grant Application Form.
These signed applications certify that jurisdictions will participate in the grant
and use the funds only on transportation
projects.

Calvert Public Schools Pay Bus

Contractors More than Necessary,
Says State Audit Report
By Dandan Zou
Staff Writer
The Calvert County Public Schools
(CCPS) paid bus contractors nearly
$250,000 more than necessary in fuel reimbursement in 2013 and 2014, said a July
report released by the states Office of Legislative Audits. State auditors also wrote
that the schools would spend about $5 million more over the 12 years of about 120
buses lifespan largely due to not basing its
payment calculation on market rates.
The state-mandated audit is conducted
every six years and is intended to evaluate if the schools have effectively used its
financial resources. The report concluded
that CCPS needs more improvement in
some of its financial practices and provided
a total of 12 recommendations.
The report came at a time when CCPS
had difficulty balancing its budget after
decreased state funding, increased health
benefits costs and declining student enrollment. Last year, CCPS lost $4 million in
funding and had to make significant staff
reduction to balance its budget. As a result,
about 70 positions were cut, according to
the schools 2016 budget.
Early this year, CCPS budgeted $3 mil-
lion from its fund balance to give its employees a step increase. An agreement was
later reached in late June to implement one
step increase in 2016 and another one in
2017. But teachers salaries are still several
steps behind. The County Times previously reported that Calvert education officials said they were worried that some of
their best and most experienced teachers
were moving to neighboring St. Marys
County over dissatisfaction with their pay
schedules.
As we were looking at reducing our
costs last school year, I can honestly say
no one came forward and said, well, you
know, if we change this calculation for
how we reimburse our bus contractors,
we would save some money, said Daniel
Curry, Superintendent of CCPS.
In the past, the school paid contractors
for fuel usage without taking out federal
excise taxes, which the contractors are exempt from paying and may claim tax credit
on their income tax returns. State auditors
said school contactors are exempt from the
$0.244 per gallon excise tax on diesel fuel
and may receive tax credit on their income
tax returns of $0.243 per

gallon.
Curry said the calculation
the schools used to use was
an old practice that had existed for many years.
The state auditors did not
identify this issue in their
previous report in 2009, and
CCPS is not the only school
district in the state to reimburse contractors the full price on fuel. In a 2015 report,
state auditors found Harford County Public Schools also reimbursed contractors for
their federal fuel excise tax costs.
Curry agreed with the reports recommendation that the calculation needed to be
updated to reflect the tax exemptions.
Starting the beginning of this school
year, Curry said the school would not reimburse bus contractors for the full price they
pay at the pump. The schools new practice
will deduct both federal and state tax exemptions. Curry said a new state legislation
that gives bus contractors state tax exemptions served to shine a light on our current
practice and prompted the schools to ask:
shouldnt we also include the feral tax and
back that out when we do our calculation?
In addition to paying more than necessary on fuel reimbursement, the auditors
said the schools would spend about $5 million more over the 12 years of school buses
lifespan partially because the school didnt
use the prime interest rate in its calculation
of an annual payment.
For each bus, the schools pay a per vehicle
allotment (PVA) every year. The payment
is intended to reimburse bus contractors
for their costs. The PVA formula includes
reimbursement for the cost of the bus and a
flat rate of return on the investment.
Compared with the auditors calculation,
the report said the school pays between
$622 to $6,380 more on each bus annually.
The reason, the auditors said, is largely due
to CCPSs formula, which used an average

borrowing rate for the return on investment
rate instead of the prime interest rate. The
auditors believed the 6 percent rate that the
schools use is much higher than the prime
rate, which is about 3.5 percent this week
according to Wall Street Journal.
The auditors dont tell anyone what the
return on investment rate is, but they are
more than happy to say youve overpaid,
said Edward Cassidy, Director of Transportation at CCPS.
Cassidy disagreed with the auditors regarding which rate should be used to determine payment. Cassidy said the school
established the return on investment rate
through calling local banks. He said the
prime rate that the auditors recommended
is not realistic because it is not a rate that a
small business could get from a bank.
In the report, the auditors recommend
CCPS to use market investment rates as a
basis for determining contractor rates for
the annual PVA and develop supportable
cost estimates to establish reasonable contracts rates for operation costs and per mile
maintenance costs. They also suggest the
school to exclude federal fuel excise taxes
from contractor payments, a recommendation the schools said they have already
implemented since July 1.
Curry emphasized that the auditors
findings are recommendations, as opposed to being categorized as violations.
He said the schools have taken the recommendations to heart and will do our best
to try to implement their recommendations
over time.

Williams Prevails in Epic Potomac

Limited Late Model Battle
Greg Roberson Takes Career First in RUSH Crates

By Doug Watson
Contributing Writer
David Williams drove his Sommey and
Ruth Ann Lacey owned Rocket no.45 to
his second win of the season in last Friday
nights 20-lap Limited Late Model feature
at Potomac Speedway. The win for Williams, who was also celebrating a birthday,
was his 40th career win in the division and
overall 92nd career Potomac feature win.
The re-draw placed Kyle Lear and David Williams on the front row for the start
of the event with Williams powering into
the race lead as the field roared off turn
two. As the field settled in, Williams and
eventual runner up Kyle Lear, would literally race side by side the entire distance
with Williams scoring the hard fought win
by a car length at the finish. Sommey and
Ruth Ann give us what we need to run up
front and Im happy to get a win for them
here tonight, Williams stated in victory
lane. Our car has been working well on
the top this year and its a good thing, because Kyle (Lear) runs the bottom so well
here and it was a lot of fun racing with him
as hard as we did here tonight. Derrick
Quade posted his second consecutive third
place effort with Tyler Emory and current
point leader Daryl Hills completing the
top-five.
Greg Roberson made his first Potomac
start of the season a good one as he claimed
his first career win in the companion 20-lap
RUSH Crate Late Model main. Roberson,
who lined up second for the start, would
lead all but one lap as he would take the
win over fellow first time Potomac visitor
Matt Hill in quite a crowd pleasing event.
We got lucky and drew a good number
for the feature. Roberson stated post race.
Our car was a little free tonight and Matt
didnt make it easy on us, but it feels great
to finally get win here at Potomac. Jamie
Sutphin was third with 12th stating Logan
Roberson and Jeff Pilkerton rounding out
the top-five.
Jonny Oilver became the 7th different
winner of the season with his first career
division win in the 15-lap Hobby Stock feature. Oliver darted from his outside front

Tackle Box Fishing Report

By Ken and Linda Lamb
Special to the County Times
The bottom fishing for croaker and white

perch was excellent this week. The perch
in the rivers on 20 to 30 foot edges are
steadily taking bloodworm and peeler crab
baits. Squid and shrimp are excellent bait
too for the pan fish. The perch can be 9 to
11 inches consistently in the deeper water.
The perch are plentiful in the creeks and
the small fish from 6 to 8 inches are crowding in for cast lures; catching the big ones
requires searching up the creeks and rivers
looking for structure and deep holes under
overhanging trees. A perfectly cast Beetle
spin in a fishy location that produces a 13
inch perch should be on every fishermans
bucket list.
White perch were caught off the shore
at the Elms Beach pubic park just below
Spring Ridge off route 235 last week where
one angler reported landing big ones two at
the time on his double hook bottom right.
Some tiny spot are in the mouth of the
Patuxent at The OClub and Second Beach.
The croaker
are biting in
the early mornings on high
tides in the
rivers in about
40 feet. The
evening bring
them into 18
to 12 feet, and
sunset
finds
them in the
shallows. The
average size is increasing to 12 to

13 inches. Beach
fishermen
find
them after sunset
all up and down
the Patuxent and
Potomac.
Cobia continue
to to be caught on
the lumps below
the Target Ship
by chummers using fresh chum or Pictured: Albert Baker
frozen chum logs and baiting their hooks
with fresh alewives. Live eels are also a
bait of choice, but the bait shops only have
them erratically. Trollers are getting blues
and cobia using surgical eel lures as well
as spoons and feathered jigs. A big one
was caught this week on a big MoJo lure
dressed with a nine inch yellow/green shad.
There are reports that crabbers are finding
young cobia in their crab pots below Smith
Point in Virginia.
Rockfish are in the Patuxent and Potomac and want to feed at dusk and dawn
(90 degree heat will do that), Lure casters
using popping plugs, bucktails, and sassy
shads will find them in the shallows when
the sun is low on the horizon.
School bells are faintly being heard in
the distance. Now is the time to get everyone out on the water and making memories.

Despite Relative Peace, Police Use

Of Force Still Worries Some
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
Police use of force in St. Marys County

rarely reaches the level of officers having
to use their firearms to shoot or even kill a
suspect but in recent weeks with the slaying of African American men by police officers in Minnesota and Louisiana and the
subsequent ambush and killings of even
more police officers in the wake of those
tragedies, residents here are worried that
sort of violence may come.
At a community forum on police use of
force and race relations on July 29 at the
House of Dance in Hollywood, residents
were quick to point out some of their stories when it came to relating to the police as
African Americans at Zion United Methodist Church in Lexington Park. A man
recounted one incident in which he was
followed by police for three-quarters of an
hour closely before being pulled over and,
in his words, profiled by them.
They asked if I had a gun even though
I had a carry permit, Moore, who is black,
told a dais of speakers at the event, which
included Sheriff Timothy K. Cameron. I
even told them I was a police chaplain.
Others at the event said they believed
there was even racism inherent in the county school system; when they saw white
children get in fights they were sent to the
principals office.
When they saw black children fighting,
they were sent home, they said.
One woman, Monique Melton, said that
she had to have a conversation with her
children about how to deal with police that
she believed people of other races did not
have to have for fear that her children might
one day become the victims of police force.
Why do I have to have this conversation
with my children? she said, adding that by
doing so she was forced to deprive her children of a part of what was supposed to be a
fun, care-free childhood.
Tujuanda Jordan, president of St. Marys
College, said that parents of African American children have always had to have that
kind of conversation with their children.
After the Civil Rights Movement, we

thought there was equity, there isnt, Jordan said. Weve gotten complacent.
One speaker, though, said that fears over
police use of force against black men, particularly young men, might be allayed with
better parenting in homes.
If they were being policed at home first
that might solve some problems, said Jacinta Bobbins-Spencer. You cant rely on
the community to raise your children.
I hear a lot of blame being placed but
what are you doing at home?
One man speaking from the audience
said that according to statistics from the
U.S. Department of Justice the number of
white people being killed in police shootings was going up while the numbers of
African American men being killed, despite the wide-spread media reports, was
actually goingdown.
He also argued that those same statistics
showed that the
vast majority of police on the streets
were white, which
meant that any
black person had a
greater chance of
coming into contact with one than a
black officer.
Police violence,
its not racism, its
probability,
he
said. Cops dont
want to kill people.
How is this
race related when
the statistics say
something else?
He also blamed
the media for inciting
emotions
and tension that
did not accurately
reflect reality.

he believed the media, both the

main stream variety and the social variety, played a large part
in raising tensions between police and the African American
community.
Weve gotten baited into
things we shouldnt have
stepped in, Rodgers said.
Weve got tensions on both
sides of the fence.
Cameron said that in the
wake of the tragic killings of
black men and police across the
nation, the onus was on police to
stay professional and train diligently on always delivering the
right level of force and always
looking for ways to de-escalate
any tense situation.
That training paid off for one

deputy who just days earlier had a tense

standoff with a homeowner who came up
behind him with a handgun when the deputy arrived to answer a call for a domestic
disturbance.
Body camera evidence from the deputys
point of view convinced Cameron, he said,
that the homeowner knew the person on his
property was a deputy but the homeowner
confronted him with a weapon anyway.
The best part, though,
Cameron said, was that the
deputy de-escalated the situation without discharging
his weapon even though he
was well within his rights to
doso.
It also detailed one of the
realities of police work, a
potentially deadly ambush
that any officer would have to
walk into because of the nature of their job.
The killing of five police
officers in Dallas showed
that the ambush is one of the
worst situations a law enforcement officer had to deal
with and constantly be on the
watch for.
When Dallas happened it
showed that strength was not
in numbers, Cameron said.
Youve got to be pros and
never let down.
But despite some of the best

Cameron said. Its unacceptable and if

Eyeglass and Hearing Aid Recycling

Partnership Formed inSt. Marys
St. Marys County Public Works and
Transportation Director, George Erichsen
along with Lions Club International Zone
Chair Lion George Kirby,are shown with
weighmaster, Roger Morris, discussing
potential locations for Eyeglass and Hearing Recycling Signs available now at all
six St. Marys County convenience Centers and the St. Marys County Landfill.
Eyeglass and Hearing Aid recycling boxes
are available at the station at the County
recycling centers.
The partnership was originally proposed
by Ridge Lion Leo Gillespie, in an effort
to expand and make the County Lions eyeglass and hearing aid recycling program
more accessible to the community through
a partnership with County Public Works

and Transportation Dept.
Used eyeglasses and hearing aids are
now collected by the five County Lions
Clubs at over 35 locations throughout the
County. Once collected, the eyeglasses are
cleaned, each individual lense prescription is identified, and then they are made
available to various Lion approved organizations and overseas missions who distribute them free of charge to those in need
around the world. Hearing aids collected
are also collected, refurbished, and if possible, made available to those eligible at a
reduced cost.

Southern Marylander You Should Know

By David Spigler
Contributing Writer
CAPTAIN GLEN IVES, U.S. NAVY (Ret)
FORMER COMMANDING OFFICER NAS

PATUXENT RIVER AND COMMUNITY LEADER
Strap in! This is going to be a joy ride

about one of the finest naval aviators I
have ever met! Not only is he an accomplished Naval Officer, Captain Glen Ives
is an exquisite gentleman and an unselfish
contributor of his many talents to the entire Southern Maryland community! He is
a soft spoken individual, a trait that belies
his outstanding leadership and management acumen. Upon his retirement from
the Navy in 2008 following an illustrious
30 year career, the Captain, or as I and several others refer to him as The Skipper,
totally immersed himself in the local community by becoming involved with many
professional organizations and charitable
groups. The list of his activities is so extensive, one has to wonder where he finds time
to sleep! Each week I am given the opportunity to write about a new personality and
to delve into their personal life to prepare
their story. I am amazed by the magnitude
of dedication these unsung heroes have
shown their fellow man! Skipper Ives is
no exception. His great body of work has
been, with no stretch of ones imagination,
phenomenal!
I have known the Skipper for more
than ten years dating back to the time he
served as Commanding Officer of the Naval Air Station at Pax. We had just lost a
good friend, John Romer, the Stations
Public Affairs Officer and a large funeral
was planned at St. Johns Church in Hollywood. The main speaker for this sad occasion was Captain Ives who just flew in
that morning around 0200 hours [2:00 AM]
and had to hastily prepare a talk about this
good man. This was my first opportunity to hear the Skipper speak publicly and
I remember being thoroughly absorbed
in his words. He spoke in such a positive
manner in describing John and their close
professional and personal relationship you
might have thought they were brothers. I
knew from that moment that Glen Ives was
a really decent and caring man with a real
kindredsoul.
I was later introduced to the Skipper
when I served as Master of Ceremonies at
the annual Southern Maryland Mustang
Association Dinner and he was invited to
be our guest speaker that evening. Let me
make sure you understand the term Mustang Association does not mean its a
group of old geezers who own small Ford
vehicles! The word Mustang has nothing to do with automobiles, but is military
slang for gents and ladies who began their
careers as enlisted men and women and
rose through the ranks. It was through
their head and shoulders performance
and leadership abilities above most of their
peers that earned their selection for commissions as military officers. I believe the
term came about in the early days when
some of the most ornery enlisted leaders

received battlefield commissions and were
known for their rough, no nonsense, no excuses manner of leadership. Commanding
Officers loved these people [and still do!]
because they knew these strong leaders
would get the job done! Like Mustangs
in a corral, they were hard to break.
Oops, I digress as old geezers tend to
doback to my first meeting with the
Skipper. So during my introduction of
Captain Ives I made some light comments
about pilots and their inabilities to bring
back our aircraft in the same condition they
found them! And then I went into the usual
rant we Mustangs have for the ring
knockers [officers who graduate from the
Naval Academy my daughter Stacy is
one, Class of 2002]. Imagine my surprise,
mostly feigned, when the Captain, a helo
pilot, and an Academy grad, introduced
his wife Barbara, also an Academy grad as
well!!! EEEekkk!!! We had a good laugh
at the end of the evening and have become
very close good friends ever since!
A quick review of Captain Ives naval career highlights is one of an ever increasing
levels of importance with each new assignment. Following his commissioning at Annapolis in 1978, he was selected for flight
training and he earned his Wings of Gold
and was designated a Naval Aviator in July,
1980 at NAS Whiting Field, Florida. I never understood why helo pilots received
wings rather than Gold Rotors, but I
was just an aircraft maintenance officer
who questioned just about everything. The
Captain went onto fly the HH-2D/SH-2F
Seasprite helicopters off Navy destroyers
in search of submarines and other assigned
missions. Following this tour, he came
ashore to be an instructor pilot where he
was able to instruct and qualify the Secretary of the Navy as a helicopter pilot in the
mighty SH-2F! Wow!
He later returned to sea duty and made
deployments to the Mediterranean, the
North Atlantic, and the Caribbean. He soon
was assigned to staff duty with the Deputy
Commander in Chief, United States Transportation Command and helped the Command do some great things. The Skipper
came into his own while serving as HSL-34
OinC for several Dets and played a large
role in helping them win the HOOK EM
Award as the most mission effective tactical unit within the Battle Group. He was
recognized as the National Helicopter Associations Pilot of the Year and HSL-40s
Officer of the year in 1990! Believe me,
these are significant recognitions that are
not given lightly. He went on to another
staff role at Commander Helicopter Wings
Atlantic, only this time was assigned as the
Executive Assistant and Flag Secretary for
the Admiral. He later transitioned to SH-
60B Seahawk and received his first

Command tour, first as XO than as
the CO for the world famous Proud
Warriors of HSL-42. Not surprising, the squadron earned the Battle
E and CNO Safety Awards during
this time, again no minor feat for any
aviation unit!
Successfully completing this tour,
our intrepid Commander reported to
the USS Guam, a helicopter carrier,
as the Operations, then the Executive
Officer and once more proved himself by
helping this ship win several prestigious
awards. After two more assignment, the
Skipper selected for Captain and came to
Pax to command the Mighty Pioneers of
VX-1. He later moved to the NAWC AIRCRAFT DIVISON as Vice Commander.
Finally, in 2004 he reported to the Naval
Air Station Patuxent River as Executive
Officer and in 2006, becoming the Commanding Officer of the famous Pax Pros!
And once more he proved to be a great
Skipper prior to retiring from active duty
in July 2008.
In civilian life, Skipper Ives continues
to flourish and make a difference. Hired
by Sabre Systems, Inc., he has succeeded
in this Defense Contractor firm and is now
the President and Chief Operating Officer!
But, despite all of his great military and
civilian successes, the things that impress
me most about Glen Ives is his vast involvement in so many aspects of our community.
Due to limited space, here are but a few:
* Served as President of the Southern
Maryland Navy Alliance to integrate UAS operation with surrounding
States
* Honorary Chair of the St Marys United Way, Christmas in April, and
Special Olympics
* Served on the Boards of Patuxent
Partnerships, Southern Maryland
Navy Alliance, College of Southern
Maryland Foundation, St Marys
County Chamber of Commerce [past
Chairman], Juvenile Drug Court,
Southern Maryland Community Resources, and Annmarie Garden
* Passionate supporter of Melwood
and Operation Tohidu, a fresh and
effective program to help wounded
military veterans and Active Duty
personnel overcome obstacles in their
recovery and support their successful reintegration into their homes and
communities
* Current member of the Board of Trustees of St Marys College of Maryland and Board of Governors for the
Southern Maryland Higher Education
Center
*Chaired the Catholic Schools Task
Force
* Co-chaired the River Concert Series

Task Force
* Recently served on the State of Maryland Economic Development and Business Climate Commission
* Currently serving on the Governors
Base Closure and Realignment Commission [BRAC]Advisory Group
* Member of the St Marys Rotary Club
Glen is married to the former Barbara
Arlene Morris of Langhorne, Pennsylvania, , a retired Reserve Navy Captain and
a dedicated, accomplished Educator in her
own right. She is now involved with the
College of Southern Maryland following
many years at St. Marys-Ryken as the popular Dean of Students. The Ives are proud
of their three boys, each who is serving on
active duty in three different military services; Glen Christopher [LT, USN], Matthew Francis [1st LT, USMC], and Jack Alexander [SPC, USA]. They all feel blessed
to call St. Marys County their home.
Skipper, I truly do not know how you do
it! Your contributions to the community,
your successes in your military, civilian,
and personal careers and your beautiful
family that you and Barbara have brought
up are unparalleled! You have set the finest
example for any man or woman to look to
when helping out when folks need support.
You are the model President John Kennedy
spoke of in his Inaugural Address in January, 1961 when he challenged all of us to
Ask what you can do for your Country! I
was there as a 16 year old standing in below
freezing weather listening to this young
and newly elected man who did so much.
I do not know of any citizen who answered
his call better than yourself. Sir, I offer you
a snappy salute for all you have done and
all you intend to do! Thank you my friend!

Drownings at Point Lookout

On the morning of Sunday,
August 17, 1917
the families of
John Baltzell
Key and Mary
C. (Robinson)
Reeves (widow
of John Courtney
Reeves)
packed a picnic
basket, left their
homes at Indiantown (near
Chaptico) and
headed to Point
May Mattingly (Swann) Key, Lookout for a
Courtesy, Cora Rubidoux day at the beach
with their children. Unfortunately, a day of fun turned into
a nightmare. Before the day was over, Mr.
Key, Mrs. Reeves, and her son John William
Courtney Reeves had drowned.
According to newspaper accounts three
of the children were swimming in deep water when they were caught in an undertow.
Their screams attracted the attention of their
parents who rushed to save them.
Mr. Key ran to the shoreline and saw his
wife struggling in the water. The lighthouse
keeper and several other men, who had also
been alerted, rushed to help in a rowboat. Mr.
Key then left his wifes side to assist Mrs.
Reeves who was now fighting for her own
life. May Key, her stepson, Joseph William
Key and one other child were rescued by the
lighthouse keeper.
While Mr. Key was attempting to save
Mrs. Reeves she suddenly got a death grip
on him, and he being exhausted from so
much exertion was unable to resist her. They
The Times Chronicle
both went down together. Several men dived

for them but could not locate the bodies at
the time. William Reeves had gone under
and was out of sight by the time Mr. Key had
reached the scene It is thought that exhaustion due to a weakened heart was the cause
of Mr. Keys drowning as he frequently had
suffered from heart attacks.
Mrs. Reeves body was recovered the following Tuesday at Crisfield about 40 miles
from the scene of the drowning and at that
time the body of her son William was still
missing. All were buried at Christ Church in
Chaptico.
Those lost: John Baltzell Key, born August
6, 1869, son of Judge Joseph Harris Key and
Frances Ruth Baltzell; Mary C. (Robinson)
Reeves, born February 27, 1879 (daughter of
William F. Robinson and Amelia Hopwood
of Calvert County and widow of John Courtney Reeves who died in 1912; and John William Courtney Reeves, born January 4, 1905.
Those saved: May Mattingly (Swann) Key,
1894-1976, daughter of Richard Mattingly
Swann and Susan Maria Woodburn. She was
the second wife of John Baltzell Key; Joseph
William Key, born January 11, 1908 (son of
John Baltzell Key by his first wife, Ina Smitten) and Clyde Pinkney Reeves (1907-1980).

House Revolt
The last two weeks could be referred to as

the the time when the house revolted. It seems
that when appliances die, or major house systems fail that it is meant, by some fate, to happen all at one time. I remember a time maybe
10 years ago when we had the dryer die, the
microwave sort of did a quick explosion, and
the downstairs freezer died. This of course
doesnt count all the household disasters that
happen in between.
We had had a lovely 4 day weekend in
Ocean City coming home on Monday the
25th. By Tuesday morning we started out
with the main electrical breaker tripping like
usual with three ACs, the pool pump, my husband in his Jacuzzi, and other normal things
on. I went down and fixed it. My husband
leaves then I get in the shower, soap up and
the power goes out again. So I had to finish
showering in the pitch black. I showered early
since the plumber was coming because the
sewer gas (swamp gas we call it) smell was
getting worse and worse.
So Gary the plumber was recommended
by the septic people when they pumped it
out last week came, and he spent half the day

Visiting Mom
By Laura Joyce
Contributing Writer
This past week marked the one-year anniversary of my Moms death. At the time she
passed away, I was in a suspended state, some
combination of exhaustion from the 24-hour
days at the end and the constant motion from
handling the endless details that attend death.
Even at her funeral, I found my thoughts
occupied by details. Would the last-minute
replacement singer be able to handle Tura
Lura Lura unaccompanied? (Lets just say
she made a valiant effort) Would cars get
separated and lost on the drive from the
church to the gravesite? (Ive written of this
before: I was deeply moved as time and traffic stood still for a brief moment as we passed
by, honoring our loss. People dont do this
everywhere).
Every month or two, I take my stepdad and
Jillie Bean, their beloved Border Terrier, to
visit mom, but it was just too hot for either
of them to go to the grave this past week. Instead, I stopped by alone, dodging the raindrops that timed their arrival to mine. The
small Calla Lily Id planted beside Moms
grave was thrivingthey were her favorite
flowersand I sat on the stone bench, taking
in the view of St. Marys River and the old
Trinity Chapel, running my fingers over the
engraving of Moms name and birthdate and
the date she passed away.
When Ive visited before, Ive often had
the thought that this is all thats left of her,
after all the living she did between those two
dates, and it has been hard to find meaning
in the finality of it all. One day someone is
here and central to your life, their presence
everywhere; they are always just a phone call
or a short drive away. Then, theyre not, and
everywhere you go is suddenly just a place
they used to be, but will never be again.
Maybe this is what time does, though:
maybe all the clichs about time healing
grief have some grain of truth to themas
most clichs do. I say this because, on this
visit, my thoughts, or maybe it was my feelings, seemed to have shifted just the littlest
bit. I felt some slight lifting of the frustrating
sense of futility in trying to find meaning in
the loss.
The ashes that rest beneath this stone

simply mark a place where we can come to
grieve: they are, truly, the least of what is
left of Mom. I am left, doing what I can to
try to make a difference in some small corner of the world. My children are left: Prince
Firstly became engaged in July, and he and
his wife-to-be will carry forward the legacy
of love that we all learned, watching Mom
and HF, her beloved husband of 37 years. Forgotten Middle Child Tim is left, pouring his
heart into not only his new love, but also into
finding his footing in the professional world,
much as Mom did. Baby Ben is left, returning to college after a rocky start, showing the
same stubborn refusal to quit that Mom also
showed. Theres my niece, Allison, bringing
comfort and healing as a nurse; my nephew
Alex, serving our country. I could go on, but
it all makes the same point: Mom left something vital, something alive and continuing
on into forever, even though she is no longer
here.
I also think of the beautiful chapel on Route
5 in St. Marys City: Mom was instrumental
in first envisioning the rebuilding of this testament to religious faith and tolerance, and
then in leading the effort to raise the funds to
bring the vision to life. It will long outlast us
all; it is part of what is left of her.
I wish I could say that these thoughts make
me miss her less, but I cant; they dont. I still
long to pick up the phone, to hear her voice, to
talk about everything and nothing, as we did
almost daily.
What I can say is that, for the first time
since she passed, I feel some degree of comfort, some glimmer of healing in the arrival
of this small measure of meaning. Perhaps
thats all were given as consolation for our
grief when it comes from such deep and permanent loss and longing. And maybe, as the
days continue to pass by, it will come to be
enough.
husband asked our wonderful neighbor the

electrician to come and look at the electrical
box. He replaced the entire electrical panel
with updated equipment. It is so nice to be
able to use the washer and dryer and air conditioners at the same time. Thanks Timmy!
While the plumber and electrician were
in and out, Mindy was happy to see them but
unsettled, so she ate a few of my decorative
rabbits in the guest room which meant that
the straw rabbits were spread all over the
downstairs living room, She also dumped
and spread the downstairs trash, piddled on
the floor twice, ate curtains, and generally
went crazy for a while. While all this is going
on, we realize the bedroom AC is only putting out warm air. My husband goes and buys
another one and decides to put it in with just
me (with no power in my hands) as a helper
and using his destroyed shoulder. Its in and
we are still married.
Dinner was supposed to be hamburgers on
the grill. You guessed it - no gas for the grill,
but both of us were too exhausted to go back
to the store. Pan-fried burgers for us. Then
the after dinner dishes: Yup, you guessed
that too. While I am doing dishes the nozzle

falls off the faucet water sprays all over me
and the kitchen. I was afraid to tell husband,
but finally did. He tries to fix it and cant because of his shoulder, but says I can still use
it. The next morning, I go to use the kitchen
sink - NO water. Why? Because all the water
is going backwards down the faucet and has
flooded everything under the kitchen sink.
There was also a few days where our house
phone didnt work, my cell phone is using up
all its charge in an hour and shutting itself
down, and Mindy is eating anything else in
the house that was working. We are heading out shortly to find a new corner shower
and, oh yes, the toilet seat and top that I destroyed. As I was on my way into the bathroom, my hip gave way, my knee buckled and
I slammed into the toilet breaking the hinges.
Who is more of a disaster? Me or the house?

Tuesday, and most of the day Wednesday in

the downstairs bathroom poor man. He said
to open all the windows that we were lucky to
be alive with this much methane gas built up
in the house. Also with a pocket of methane
gas, your house can explode like the manhole
covers do in the city. He asked if we had been
having lots of headaches, been nauseous, and
felt extremely tired. We both said yes - more
so than normal. He ended up changing seals
on the toilet bowl base, fixing lots of other
problems, and taking the shower out so my
husband could jack hammer the floor up. The
plumber also said he is going to call us in a
week to see if we feel better. The plumber will
be back now to see if he can find a permanent
fix for this problem with the proper drain trap
(there was no trap apparently). More unsettling for our plumber was me finding a second snake skin in our laundry room especially since with the shower gone there was
no separation between the laundry room and
bathroom where he was working. I am not
too happy myself about doing laundry in the
laundry room anymore.

Your Mama
is really tall.
She
can
reach the cabinets where
the cookies
are
stored.
She can touch
the
upper
shelf of your
closet and the
tippy-top of
your bedroom door. Her arms can reach
things that you never could. Your Mom is
probably at least five feet tall thats huge,
isnt it? - and in Mama Loved to Worry
by Maryann Weidt, illustrated by Rachael
Balsaitis, this story is even taller!
Mama was a first-class, top-rate worrier. She was so good at it, she won awards
and when you think about it, she had reason to worry. She had the whole farm to
take care of the cows, the pigs, the chickens and Baby Eli, who seemed to be into
everything, every minute of the day.
One afternoon, while she was in the
garden, Mama worried about a tornado.
A twister like that, well, it could carry the
farm off! She worried and worried and
when Mama worries, she knits. That day,
she knitted enough woolies for the pigs,
chickens, and cows to wear and when a
tornado actually did tumble tail over teakettle toward the farm, she grabbed Baby
Eli and ran. That Eli, he was always into
everything.
The County Times
Another day soon afterward, Mama

started to worry about how truly hot it
was. What if Crooked Neck Creek dried
up? What would happen then? She worried
and worried and when Mama worries,
she sews faster than a hound dog after a
squirrel. On that day, she sewed clothes
for all the aunts, uncles, and cousins, and
she worked up a sweat. There was no more
need to worry about the creek but where
was Baby Eli?
It was even hotter the next day, and
Mama started to worry about all that heat.
It couldve popped the corn in the fields!
She worried and worried and when
Mama worries, she makes sauerkraut,
strudel, and snickerdoodle twists. When
the corn started popping in the field and
the sugar cane melted, it smelled so good.
But where was Baby Eli now?
Just as suddenly, where was Mama?
Was it time to worry about her, too?
Paul Bunyan. Slue-Foot Sue. Pecos Bill.
You remember them fondly as characters
in those wildly fun Tall Tales you heard in
grade school and now Mama joins them
in Mama Loved to Worry.
There isnt a kid in the world who
doesnt love exaggeration in a story, and
author Maryann Weidt gives it with this
rib-tickler that gets taller and taller as the
tale goes on. The language in this book
will really make you grin, but whats even
better are the illustrations by Rachael
Balsaitis. She gives this book a homespun feel of a gentler time when laundry
hung outside to dry, the waterin hole was
a right-fine place to swim, and summer
never ended.
This book is a knee-slappin, leg-pullin passel of fun for 5-to-8-year-olds, or
anybody who knows how to spin a tale a
mile high. And if thats either of you, then
Mama Loved to Worry could be huge.
