Hogan and Franchot to Encourage

Shopping During Tax-Free Week,
August 14-20
State Sales Tax Waived for Qualifying
Clothing and Footwear Under $100
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.

Sheriffs 2nd Quarter Report

The Sheriffs Office saw continued success in the second quarter of 2016. The
newly created Crime Suppression Team
(CST) continues to prove its value. CST
deputies are in various neighborhoods addressing traffic complaints, thefts from autos, and other reported concerns from citizens. CST deputies also assist with speed
enforcement initiatives and supplement Patrol deputies when they are short staffed on
Patrol. Most recently, members of the CST
executed a traffic stop in the northern end
of Calvert County where a convicted felon
was found to be in possession of a loaded
handgun and enough controlled dangerous
substances to be charged with Possession
with Intent to Distribute.
Patrol Bureau K-9 teams continue to
locate illegal drugs on traffic stops at unprecedented levels. In this quarter K-9
teams generated 93 positive alerts for illegal drugs on our roadways. Patrol deputies arrested 125 individuals for impaired
driving.
Patrol Bureau deputies assigned to the
Towns of North and Chesapeake Beach
were tasked with ensuring the safety of the
public at numerous outdoor events to include; the 2016 opening of the North Beach
Farmers Market, the North Beach water
front concert series, the Chesapeake Beach
Stars and Stripes Festival, the North Beach
4th Annual End Hunger Dragon Boat Festival, and the annual Chesapeake Beach
Independence Day fireworks display.
These events collectively draw thousands
to thearea.
Detectives from the Criminal Investigations Bureau (CIB) made two arrests this
quarter related to gun violence. One suspect was arrested for shooting a subject
who attempted to rob him of his drugs
and money. The victim nearly died and is
still hospitalized. The second came after
an extensive manhunt. The suspect eluded
capture for several days, after opening fire
into a bedroom- window of a townhome
occupied by his ex-girlfriend, her new boyfriend, and small children. After an around
the clock investigation by detectives, the

suspect was located at a residence in Owings. The suspect barricaded himself in the
residence and then made an escape attempt
out of a second story window that resulted
in an arrest by the Patrol Bureau and K-9
personnel.
Drug Enforcement Investigators (DEU)
did their share and then some in this quarter. On May 10th, members of the DEU
were conducting surveillance/mobile surveillance on an individual who was suspected of distributing heroin that resulted in
the fatal overdose of a heroin user on April
24th. During the surveillance/mobile surveillance, members of DEU observed the
suspect travel to P.G. County and meet up
with an unknown subject near Forest Village mall. Once the brief contact was over,
the suspect was observed returning to Calvert County where he was observed meeting up with two vehicles being operated
by unknown individuals. DEU members
contacted Dfc. Livingston who conducted
a traffic stop based on the observations of
DEU members who obtained a body search
warrant for the primary suspects person.
A search of his person revealed suspected
illegal drugs, paraphernalia, and other related evidence.
The suspect was placed under arrest and
transported to the Calvert County Sheriffs
Office where he was interviewed by a DEU
detective. While the suspect was being
interviewed, members of DEU along with
members of SOT executed a search warrant at his residence located in Prince Frederick. A search of the residence revealed
un-prescribed medications, random pills,
and drug paraphernalia.
Sadly, we lost two K-9s this quarter. K-9
Narco died of natural causes and K-9 Manny died of a yet to be determined medical
event.
Several promotions took place this
quarter:
Lieutenant David Payne was promoted
to Captain
etective Sergeant Tim Fridman was

D
promoted to Lieutenant
Corporal Jason Dean was promoted to
Sergeant
Deputy First Class John Harms was promoted to Corporal.
The Bureau of Administration and Judicial Services was busy this quarter. AJSB
staff had 290 applicants for Deputy Sheriff
apply this spring. 59 applicants were tested
and of those, 29 made it to the oral boards.
After polygraphs and background investigations four new recruit deputies, were
selected to begin the academy on Saturday, July 30th. Five new Deputy Sheriffs
graduated from Police Entry Level Training Program (PELTP Session 42) on June
3, 2016.
Sergeant Brian Bowen conducted one of
the largest Sheriffs Sales in the history of
the Sheriffs Office by auctioning off most
of the contents of the Striped Rock restaurant in Solomons.
In 1984, President Ronald Reagan proclaimed the first full week of May as National Correctional Officers Week. In
observance, the Calvert County Detention
Center employees enjoyed a flag raising
ceremony, a luncheon and were able to
invite family for tours of the facility. The
Detention Center staff was also presented
with a proclamation from the County Commissioners in honor of the annual event.
Sgt. Joshua Underwood was recognized by
the Maryland Correctional Administrators
Association for his Calvert County Corrections Officer of the Year Award in June at
the annual conference in Ocean City. The
Emergency Response Team graduated
CFC Chris Gray, CFC Danial Hamilton,
CFC John Ashley, CFC Erik Snyder and
CO1 Christopher Oliver as new members
of the special operations unit. The eventful quarter continued with CFC Dayania
Carroll receiving the Officer of the Second
Quarter award. She was recognized for her
outstanding work on the floor and dedication to her job and co-workers. The Team
of the Second Quarter is Team 4 consisting of: Sgt. Scott, Cpl. Commodore, Cpl.
Jones, CFC Cook, C.O.1 Strain, Hamilton, Hernandez, Ashley, Brooks, Zalusky,
Lanier, and Musegades. Congratulations
to the supervisors and officers of Team 4
on this accomplishment.
Detention Center staff participated in
several community projects this quarter.
The Jailhouse Rockers held a successful
golf tournament in May raising proceeds
toward fighting cancer. The 2016 contribution from the Jailhouse Rockers surpassed
last years donation to the Calvert County
Chapter of Relay for Life. The Detention
Center remains thankful to the many staff
who participate and continue to give to this
important cause.
This quarter, the Families Reading Together program continued to provide a vital
conduit between community children and
incarcerated inmates. Inmates who work
and study to achieve the privilege of participating in this program are rewarded by
being able to connect through literature
compositions with their children.
Announcements: Joshua Underwood
was promoted to the rank of Sergeant and
Cordell Jones was promoted to Corporal;
Congratulations are extended to both of
these fine supervisors. Cpl. Ryan McGaffin was recently reassigned as the Work
Detail Supervisor and is poised to make
great strides in the program. The Detention Center would like to extend congratulations to Sgt. Arlisa Mason-Buck and CFC
Mike Shaw, both of whom recently retired
and will be truly missed. Thank you both
for your outstanding service to the community and the Agency.

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
row starting spot to take the lead on the
first lap and would lead to the finish over a
hard charging Sam Archer. Weve worked
so hard on this car and to finally get one,
its amazing. Oliver stated. I kept the car
up top and it was working really good up
there I just hope we put on a good show
for the fans. Wesley Givens was third
with Billy Crouse and John Burch filling
the front five.
In other action, Current Street Stock

point leader Mike Latham drove to his 7th
win of the season, and career 48th, in the
divisions 16-lap feature. Keeping it in the
family, Mikey Latham scored his 5th win

the Harms Gallery in September, October,
and November. Lectures are free and open
to the public.
On Thursday, September 8, Jack Shaum,
guest curator for the exhibit and longtime
friend of the artist, will speak about Ourslers life and work. An expert on steamboats in his own right, Mr. Shaum vividly evokes the golden age of steam travel
through photographs and descriptions.
On Thursday, October 6, Dr. Ralph
Eshelman, will discuss how steamboat
wharves and landings became the focal

point of social and commercial activity on
the waterfront. With the move to automobiles and trains and consequent decline in
steamboating, the social and commercial
fabric of this region changed; however the
evidence of this era as Dr. Eshelman will
show, remains.
On November 10, Pete Lesher, Chief Curator at the Chesapeake Maritime Museum
broadens the focus to steamboats throughout the Chesapeake. The importance of the
steam lines to commerce, the economy,
and social interactions of people living
up and down the Chesapeake Bay is fully
explored.

The Calvert County Board of County

Commissioners and the Calvert County
Department of Public Works celebrated
recycling excellence in Calvert County
during its first annual recycling awards
ceremony Tuesday, July 26. The event recognized individuals, businesses, government agencies, non-profits and schools for
recycling ingenuity and results.
It is important that all of us do our part
when it comes to managing solid waste,
shared Board President Evan Slaughenhoupt. These winners showed how powerful the results can be when you stay focused
and committed to a recycling program.
Calvert Countians on average generate
about 300 tons of solid waste a day, said
Rai Sharma, director of county Department
of Public Works. We promote recycling as
a way to reduce that impact. These award
winners demonstrate how innovation can
lead to remarkable recycling results.
The 2016 Calvert County Recycling
Award recipients are:
Calvert Library Southern Branch
The library stopped giving out disposable plastic bags and now gives away reusable bags for customers to tote their materials. Library staff enlisted community
members in a project to create reusable tote
bags out of plastic bags, with each tote bag
removing 150 plastic grocery bags from the
waste stream.
Asbury Solomons Continuing Care

Retirement Community
The Go Green Committee at Asbury
Solomons worked with residents to recycle
51 percent of the facilitys waste. It also
encouraged its dining and maintenance
service provider to use recyclable carryout
containers and washable plastic glasses.
Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant

The plants Environmental Stewardship
Committee led an effort that helped divert
28 percent of its waste to the recycling
market while saving on disposal costs. An
LED relighting project and the recycling of
wooden pallets and metal helped make Calvert Cliffs a corporate leader.

Sneades Ace Home Center

Sneades recycled nearly 42 tons of materials from its two stores last year. Sneades
staff works to ensure all cardboard, paper,
cans, newspaper, toner cartridges and batteries are recycled.
Planet Aid
Planet Aids 16 yellow bins helped recycle close to 50,000 pounds of textiles in
Calvert County last year a 50 percent increase from 2014. Not only is this reducing
landfill waste, it also reduces carbon dioxide emissions by up to 200,000 pounds.
Chesapeakes Bounty
From its two Calvert County locations,
Chesapeakes Bounty composted 750 cubic
feet of organic matter. Other efforts include
recycling or reusing cardboard, the phasing
out of plastic bags and the return of oyster
and clam shells to the bay for the recolonization of oysters.
Trash Troopers First Lego League Robotics Team
Realizing a lack of locations for LED
recycling in Calvert County, this team
developed a return package with pre-paid
postage as a prototype for sending LEDs to
recyclers. Team members then performed a
play to educate friends and families.
Dowell Elementary School
Dowell Elementary reduced its landfill
waste by 26 percent by recycling more than
49,000 juice pouches and almost 8,000
writing utensils. Students also collected
189 pounds of glue stick containers and
sent them to Appeal Landfill for rigid plastic recycling.
Mill Creek Middle School
Mill Creek, a Maryland Green School,
diverts 17 percent of its waste to recycling.
Students created art from vinyl records and
began composting to produce mulch for the
schools flower and plant beds.
Calvert High School
Along with light bulb, electronic and
shredded paper recycling, Calvert High
students looked at where recyclable waste
is being generated. They brought back recycling in the cafeteria and worked to separate recyclable items at the schools athletic
fields.
Three of the county award winners
Calvert Library, Asbury Solomons and
Calvert Memorial Hospital went on to
win a state-level Maryland Recycling Network Recycling Award for their recycling
efforts.
Most businesses, organizations and
institutions understand the long-term economic and environmental savings we can
realize through recycling, explained Calvert County Recycling Program Specialist Keith Roumfort. We were thrilled to
highlight the success and best practices in
our community and hope it inspires more
people to actively join the effort.
Recycling is an important part of Calvert
Countys waste management program. Recycling can help conserve natural resources, conserve landfill space and save money
by reducing the cost of trash disposal and
offsetting the need for a new landfill.

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 dollars in funding and had to make significant
staff reduction to balance its budget. As a
result, about 71 positions were cut, according to the schools 2016 budget.
Early this year, CCPS budgeted $3 million 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 contractors 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 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 alone in reimbursing contractors for full prices on fuel in the state. State
auditors found Harford County Public
Schools also reimbursed contractors for
their federal fuel excise tax costs in a 2015
audit report.
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
tax exemptions served to shine a light
on our current practice and prompt 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 be-

tween $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 used is much higher than the prime
rate, which is about 3.5 percent this week
according to the Wall Street Journal.
The auditors dont tell anyone what the
return on investment rate is, but they are
more than happy to say youve over-paid,
said Edward Cassidy, Director of Transportation at CCPS.
Cassidy disagreed with the auditors regarding which rate should be used for payment calculation. 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 Curry 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.

Southern Marylander You Should Know

CAPTAIN GLEN IVES, U.S. NAVY (Ret)
By David Spigler
Contributing Writer
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!
