LUSBY MAN SENTENCED

FOR PRODUCTION OF CHILD
PORNOGRAPHY
Pretended to be a Teenage Boy to Entice Minors
Using Social Media, Email and Cell Phone Apps
U.S. District Judge Paul W. Grimm sentenced Jose Antonio Jaramillo, age 55, of
Lusby, Maryland, today to 17 years in federal prison, followed by 15 years years of
supervised release, for production of child
pornography. Judge Grimm also ordered
that upon his release from prison, Jaramillo
must register as a sex offender in the place
where he resides, where he is an employee,
and where he is a student, under the Sex
Offender Registration and Notification Act
(SORNA).
The sentence was announced by United
States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein; Special Agent in
Charge Andre R. Watson of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcements (ICE)
Homeland Security Investigations (HSI)
Baltimore; Special Agent in Charge Clark
E. Settles of HSI Washington D.C.; Calvert
County Sheriff Mike Evans; and Colonel
William M. Pallozzi, Superintendent of the
Maryland State Police.
According to his plea agreement, from at

least December 2014 through July 2015, Jaramillo, posing as a teenaged male named
Tommy James, Thomas James Jones,
or Thomas James, used email, applications on cellular phones and social media
sites to induce, coerce and entice more than
five minor female victims between the ages
of 13 and 16 to send him sexually explicit
images of themselves over the internet.
Jaramillo admitted that, using the Tommy James persona, he had or attempted to
have sexually explicit conversations with at
least 14 minor females and induced at least
seven victims to produce sexually explicit
images and videos of themselves and transmit those images to Jaramillo.
This case was brought as part of Project
Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative
launched in May 2006 by the Department
of Justice to combat the growing epidemic
of child sexual exploitation and abuse.
Watermen See Hope In

Oyster, Crab Resurgence
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
Both watermen and state fisheries officials are encouraged with the improved
catches in both hard crabs and oysters in
recent seasons; both remain cautiously
optimistic that the harvest improvements
mean that the Chesapeake Bay watersheds
health is starting to turn around.
Tommy Zinn, president of the Calvert
County Watermens Association, said that
crabs have not returned to the glory days
of decades ago but the recent harvests have
improved markedly.
Some areas did real well, some not as
good, Zinn told The County Times. But
on average there were more crabs available
than in prior years.
In the short term at least its getting
back to average or above average.
Zinn was also encouraged by the improved oyster harvests in past several seasons, which in recent years had given watermen an option to continue working on
the water when crabs were scarce.
Oysters are getting back to the historical level of the 1980s when guys could
make a living, Zinn said. Theyre doing
better than when times were really slow.
The resurgence in crabs and oysters coincides, state officials say, with an increase
in submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) and
improved dissolved oxygen levels.
It seems like all of the investments
weve made into the bay restoration efforts are paying dividends, said Stephen
Schatz, spokesman for the state Department of Natural Resources.
And DNR is reporting that SAV is back
in the bay in record amounts, by about 29
percent between 2014 and 2015.
Local News
TER
PROBATE
The state estimates that there is now

53,277 acres of mapped SAV in the bay,
which is just shy of the 57,000-acre goal it
has set for itself in 2014.
The bay grasses are crucial for providing habitat for all kinds of aquatic life; they
also help improve oxygen in the water.
The state has not compiled catch numbers for the crab harvest this year but their
winter dredge survey taken back in the
winter showed a sharp increase in the number of juvenile crabs available.
State officials said that improvements
in the crab population were across all age
groups of the species; the spawning-age female stock nearly doubled rom 101 millon
last year to 194 million this year.
The male stock of crabs more than doubled, according to the survey, from 44 million to 91 million.
This is the second highest level of the
male portion of the species since 1995,
DNR officials stated.
Dave Blazer, head of DNR Fisheries, said
that last years oyster harvest was down
slightly from 2014 to 2015 season but was
still strong at 350,000 bushels harvested.
He said that management of crabs, especially restrictions on the harvesting of
females dating back to 2008, had a hand in
catch improvements.
But there were plenty of factors that they
could not control.
Mother Nature, there are a lot of factors
that have helped out, Blazer said. Thats
all beneficial to the crab resource.

The U.S. Navys premier flight demonstration team The Blue Angels have cancelled their planned appearance at Patuxent
River Naval Air Station later this fall, citing the need for pilots to have down time
and avoid becoming worn out from to much
flight time.
Following the mishap involving Blue
Angel No. 6 in June of this year, Commander, Naval Air Forces Pacific (CNAP)
decided the team would need to take off one
weekend every eight weeks during their air
show season to combat fatigue, a social
media post from The Blue Angels stated.
The Air Expo falls on the eighth consecutive week of air shows for the team following their time off in late August. No other
cancellations are planned for the Blue Angels this year.
The Blue Angels had planned to come to
Pax River NAS for two days between Oct.
29 and Oct. 30. They intend to keep their
appointment for the Maryland Fleet Week
and Air Show in Baltimore Oct. 15 and Oct.
16, the social media post stated.
Currently were still reviewing the impact of the Blue Angel cancellation, said
Pax River NAS spokesman Patrick Gordon.

Their cancellation is not the be all, end all.
Were still moving forward.
The acts that will still be on hand at the
air show include the U.S. Air Force F-22
Raptor demonstration team as well as The
Black Daggers, a special operations parachute team.
This will be the first air show at Pax River NAS since 2011, Gordon said.
We had planned to have an air show in
2013 but sequestration cuts prevented that,
Gordon said.
Laschelle McKay, town administrator
of Leonardtown, said that a community
block party to held next month that would
have introduced residents to air expo participants would still go forward but would
likely not be the same size.
The base is still asking us to do the
event, McKay said. Im sure it will hurt
attendance, but were still going ahead.
Community Forum on Opioids

in St. Marys County
The citizens of St. Marys County have
not been immune from the impact of opioid
addiction, and this affliction has left our
youth vulnerable. In order to help educate
the community about the dangers of prescription drug and opioid abuse, as well
as the tragic consequences of addiction,
the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)
and the Drug Enforcement Administration
(DEA) have produced a documentary titled
Chasing the Dragon. This film chronicles
how drug abuse devastates lives and draws
attention to the prescription drug and heroin epidemic in the United States.
Locally, the St. Marys County Sheriffs Office has partnered with the Southern Maryland Young Marines Unit, the
FBI Baltimore Field Office and St. Marys
County Public Schools to provide a free
screening of this film on Tuesday, October 18, 2016, at 6:00 p.m. in the Chopticon
High School Auditorium, located at 25390
Colton Point Road in Morganza, Maryland.
Through the video, the FBI and DEA hope
to make personal connections. To that end,
representatives from treatment, prevention, law enforcement and public health
will hold a brief panel discussion before

the screening. Representatives from St.
Marys County Public Schools, St. Marys
County Sheriffs Office, St. Marys County
Health Department, St. Marys County Department of Aging & Human Services and
Walden Behavioral Health will address the
topic of opioid abuse in St. Marys County, and how their respective agencies are
addressing this crisis. State and Federal
stakeholders will also be at the event.
The St. Marys County Health Department is also offering an Overdose Response
Program for free to community members
following the documentary screening. Individuals who participate in this training
will learn how to recognize and respond to
an opioid overdose and will receive a free
Naloxone Kit. Visit http://www.smchd.
org/overdose for more information on the
Overdose Response Program and to register for this training. Walk-ins will be accepted, but registration is preferred.

MarylandAnnounces More
Than $12 Million in Highway
Safety Grants
Governor Larry Hogan today announced
over $12.5 million in federal highway
safety funds granted to more than 80
agencies and organizations across Maryland to help strengthen and expand the
states efforts to save lives on Maryland
roads. The funds will be distributed by the
Maryland Department of Transportations
Highway Safety Office to law enforcement agencies and traffic safety advocates
throughoutMaryland.
The safety and security of Marylanders is our top priority and this vital funding
will help strengthen our efforts to reduce
traffic fatalities and save lives, said Governor Hogan. Dangerous, impaired, and
distracted driving puts everyone at risk,
and we will continue to do everything in
our power to ensure safety on our roads.
The federal grants will help fund the following traffic-safety efforts:
Preventing impaired, aggressive,
and distracted driving
Increasing the use of seat belts
Increasing motorcyclist, pedestrian,
and bicyclist safety efforts
Funding child passenger safety fitting stations
Funding traffic safety-related law
enforcement operations
Improving Marylands traffic data
systems
To help reduce traffic fatalities and

serious injuries across the state, Maryland is implementing a five-year plan
known as the Maryland Strategic Highway Safety Plan(SHSP). The plan brings
together local, state, and federal partners
and organizations such as the National
Safety Council, AAA, Mothers Against
Drunk Driving and numerous other
corporate, non-profit, and public sector
partners. The SHSP contains more than
30 separate strategies to reduce overall
roadway fatalities by at least 50 percent
in the next two decades. The Plan
emphasizes solutions from the Four Es
of highway safety Engineering, Enforcement, Education, and Emergency
Medical Services.
Our mission is to do everything in our
power to eliminate traffic crashes, said
Transportation Secretary Pete K. Rahn.
Zero crashes, zero injuries and zero fatalities is our ultimate goal.
The federal grant awards can only
be used for traffic safety activities and
are allocated based on crash data for
eachcounty and/or organization that
applied for funding.Funds can only be
spent during Federal Fiscal Year 2017
Governor Announces Israeli Company

Opens U.S Headquarters in Maryland
On the first day of an economic development mission to Israel, Governor Larry
Hogan announced that Israel-based Nayax,
a global leader in the cashless payment solutions industry, has opened its U.S. headquarters in Maryland. The company, which
was established in 2005 and now operates
in more than 50 countries, opened an office
in Hunt Valley following its acquisition of
InOne, a Maryland distributor service solution for vending machines. Nayax currently
has more than 15 sales, technical support
and finance employees in Maryland with
plans to grow.
With our offices located in Hunt Valley,
Nayax finds itself well positioned for dayto-day operations and future expansion,
said Carly Furman, chief financial officer
and chief operating officer of Nayax, LLC.
The unattended device industry has a
strong presence in the greater Maryland
area and beyond. Our centrality lets us easily reach existing and potential customers,
as well as work closely with industry advocates with the support of the Maryland DC
Vending Association.
We are proud to welcome global company Nayax to Maryland and look forward
to helping them to grow in our state, said
Governor Hogan. Marylands strate-
gic location and unique access to quality employees, international airports, rail
lines, and the Port of Baltimore will provide Nayax with a competitive advantage
to expand into new markets and attract
newcustomers.
Nayax was among several innovative Israeli companies that Governor Hogan met
with tas he kicked off his economic development mission to Israel. The governor is
leading a delegation of business, education
and community leaders on the weeklong
mission, which is aimed at strengthening
cultural ties and promoting Maryland as a
gateway for Israeli companies seeking to
establish U.S. operations.
Maryland has long maintained ties with
Israel, building on shared strengths in biotechnology, information technology, aerospace and defense. Approximately 24 Israeli companies currently maintain offices
in Maryland, including Rafael Advanced
Defense Systems Ltd., Medispec and IMI
Services (a subsidiary of Israel Military
Industries). In 2015, Israel was Marylands
43rd largest trading partner with $145.1
million in product exports, mostly chemicals, transportation equipment, and computer and electronic products.

The County Times
Annual Festival Celebrates Addiction Recovery

By Dandan Zou
Staff Writer
Daniel Yokum didnt realize he had addiction problems until he tried to commit
suicide in a hotel room about two month
ago. He used a blade and cut about oneinch-long laceration on his right arm. He
lost about one gallon of blood and felt he
was about to lose consciousness. Then the
blood clogged up, and the bleeding stopped.
He didnt die.
Yokum took his failed suicide attempt as
a sign that death was not the way to go. He
needed help, and he tried to find a treatment
center or a sober home in Frederick County,
which is where he was born and raised.
All the beds were filled there, he
said. Thats why he came to Carol Porto
Treatment Center in Prince Frederick. He
completed his treatment program now
and is waiting for a vacancy to open in a
soberhome.
Yokums story is one of many recovery
stories at this years recovery festival that
celebrates people who recovered or are in
recovery from addiction.
This September is the third time of RecoervyFest, an annul event hosted by Calvert
Alliance Against Substance Abuse and Calvert Behavioral Health Services. It is part
of the National Recovery Month. Now in its
27th year, the National Recovery Month is
sponsored by Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Services Administration, an agency
under the U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services.
The Recovery Months purpose is to

increase awareness and understanding of
mental and substance use disorders and
celebrate the people who recover.
Last Saturdays event at the Serenity Farm is one of hundreds of recovery celebration events happening across
thecountry.
The RecoveryFest puts a human face
on recovery, said Patricia Lynn Taylor,
a recovery support coordinator with the
Calvert Behavioral Health who organized
theevent.
It is a celebration of people in recovery,
she said. Taylor added that the number of
people in recovery from addictions is greater than what many assume.
Taylor, someone in long-term recovery
herself, said the event is also about bringing awareness and understanding of mental
health and substance use disorders.
Dozens attended Saturdays event which

provided food, music and things to do for
families. Other than people who are in recovery, families of those affected by drug

Trevone Damone Butler, who has been

charged locally and even federally for a
string of armed robberies last year, has
pleaded to federal charges of obstructing
interstate commerce, according to federal documents detailing hs plea deal back
inJuly.
Local prosectutors have stated that they
will continue to pursue charges against
Butler that alleged he was involved in the
robbery of a CVS Pharmacy in Leonardtown back on October 28 of last year.
Sources close to the investigation of
Butler and his alleged conspirator Quantaz
Shields say that the defendants were stealing the money in an effort to help pay for
the legal expenses of Tyreke Butler, brother
of Trevone Butler, who was facing attempted murder charges.
Tyreke Butler has since been convicted
and sentenced to 50 years in prison for the
shooting of Robert Blake over a disputed
drug deal; the shooting occurred back on
Sept. 11 of 2015.
According to indictments filed in U.S.

District Court Shields was the entry man
of the pair who committed the actual robberies while Trevone Butler provided the
getaway vehicle.
Federal authorities with U.S. Attorney
Rod Rosensteins office alleged that both
men took part in the robberies of The Sign
of the Whale liquor store, the Super 8 motel
and the Papa Johns Pizza store in Lexington Park as well as the Dash-In and CVS
Pharmacy in Leonardtown.
Trevone Butler, 25, of Lexington Park,
faces charges of armed robbery, first-degree assault, conspiracy to commit armed
robbery, theft, use of a firearm in commission of a felony and the illegal possession of
a regulated firearm.
Butler is scheduled for a trial in December.
Hotel Robbery Conspirator

Pleads Guilty
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
Local prosecutors revealed last week

that a man indicted as a conspirator in the
robbery of a St. Marys motel back in January during snow storm has pleaded guilty
to his taking part in the crime.
Nicholas Williams signed the plea agreement Sept. 2, court papers showed, and
also faces charges of first-degree assault
and being an accessory in the robbery of
Americas Best Value Inn and Suites in
Lexington Park January 23.
Daniel NaShawn Roper, Antwan Tyler
and Michael Harrod also face charges of
armed robbery and assault in connection
with their alleged robbery conspiracy.
According to charging papers two black
male suspects, later identified as Tyler and
Roper, entered with one of them, Tyler,
producing a handgun and demanding money from the attendent there.
The two suspects then fled the
establishment.
Surveillance at the motel showed that
the other two suspects, Harrod and Williams, congregated outside the establishment moments before Tyler and Roper entered to commit the alleged robbery, court
paperssaid.
Tyler can be seen removing the large
black handgun from inside his jacket,
court papers stated. He then enters the

business with Roper while Willams and
Harrod separate and appear to be watching
the area.
Once the two entry men come back
out, court papers stated, all four men ran
through the shopping center towards
FDRBoulevard.
Sheriff Timothy K. Cameron, on patrol
during the blizzard, found the suspects in
the Spring Valley Drive area, whereupon
the four attempted to run, court papers
stated.
They were later apprehended by other
deputies and arrested.
Deputies found the cash box from the
robbery in Nicolet Park, which they said
lay directly between the motel and Spring
Valley Drive.
Williams and Harrod both admitted
to police that they were at the motel with
Roper and Tyler, court papers stated.
Harrod confirmed he observed the defendant enter the business along with
Tyler, who was armed with a large gun,
just prior ot the robbery, according to
chargingdocuments.

From Dually Enrolled CSM

College Student toNAVAIR
Physicist to Inventor
Kristina Rickard Pursues And Achieves The Impossible

Kristina Rickard was just 15 years old
when she started college. Already a student
at Great Mills High School, Rickard began
her higher education journey at the College
of Southern Maryland through the dual enrollment program.
Since that time, Rickard has thrived.
Now a physicist for Naval Air Systems
Command, or NAVAIR, she has made
strides professionally and personally, and
has even invented and created a technology
to capture energy from sound a feat that
many people have told her was impossible.
But Rickard is not interested in hearing
what others say is impossible.
The Lexington Park resident has spent
more than a decade on a fast track to success more if you count the foundation her
parents gave her to work hard and be open
to new ideas and her time at CSM gave
her a leg up when it came to competing for
schools and jobs.
Dual enrollment courses are a critical
component in CSMs efforts to provide
high school students with the early college
experience. CSM has offered early admissions enrollment for high school juniors
and seniors since 1980 and the program
has evolved over the years. In Fall 2007 the
college began waiving 50 percent of its tuition for dual enrolled students, and today,
CSMs dually enrolled students are able to
take their courses on campus, online, at
their high school or virtually using video
teleconferencing technology.
Rickard is not the only person in her family who has taken advantage of dual enrollment. In fact, all three of her brothers did
so, and it was a critical component in their
success, says her father, Jeffrey W. Dronenburg Sr. Her oldest brother, Jeffrey Jr., enrolled when he was a senior in highschool.
It made so much sense because it was
absolutely college credit, Dronenburg Sr.
said. College credits at CSM are guaranteed
to transfer to dozens of Maryland schools,
and are accepted at many schools outside
the state. Its a phenomenal opportunity.
They can learn in a safe environment with
smaller classes, not 250 people in an auditorium. Real learning takes place in the
classroom and its a real way to kickstart
the college experience. From his perspective, the college classes were a great way
for his children to gauge what they really
wanted to do, and to makes those decisions
while still living at home and before they
went off to college far away.
Rickard was already performing well
in high school when she started at CSM,
where she took three calculus classes, a
college English class, a history class and
more. She had finished these classes and
had considerable college credit by the time
she graduated high school, putting her far
ahead of many of her competitors when she
applied for the Department of Defenses

SMART Scholarship. Winning that scholarship paid her full tuition at the University
of Colorado at Colorado Springs.
There were thousands of applicants for
that scholarship, and only seven physicists
were selected, Rickard said. She was one
of those seven, partly because she had already shown that she was dedicated to
school and knew how to succeed in college.
Also, she found that she was able to do
better in high school because of her experience at CSM. Rickard had been home
schooled for a while in elementary school
while her family was overseas, and she had
enjoyed the ability to learn at her own pace.
In high school, taking a class for an entire
year felt for her like stretching the material
out to suit the school year, rather than learning and moving on. At CSM with a class
lasting a semester, she found the pace to be
much faster. That helped keep Rickards interest in the subject, and her good grades in
dual enrollment translated to a higher GPA
at Great Mills High School.
She said she appreciated CSMs smaller
class sizes, knowing that in a subject like
calculus her classes would have included
300 people at a typical university. It meant
I had a lot less stress and a lot more learning, she said.
Hammond said Rickards experience is
what many students report. Dual enrollment allows students to learn what its like
to be on a college campus, as well as how
to meet the expectations of professors all
while still under the guidance of their parents and high school resources.
This way, theyre not just tossed into
the pool by themselves, Hammond said.
Its kind of like dipping your toe into the
water first and seeing what its like. They
know what theyre getting into before they
get there.
After college, Rickard went to NAVAIR.
She has just finished fulfilling a threeyear service commitment to work for the
U.S. Navy as a civilian in exchange for
the SMART Scholarship. And being with
NAVAIR has brought that acoustic energy
invention to life.
The invention has been a dream of Rickards since she was 15. She and her family
were playing a dinner-time game where
each of them would take a turn at mentally creating something and then talking
about how they would do it. The only rule
was that there were no boundaries they
had to come up with the idea first, and then
start working out how to make it happen.
Each family member had a tendency to talk
about things they were interested in and
come up with ideas related to that, and for
Rickard, it was music.
I was a musician and I was learning
about speakers, she said. She was gaining
an understanding of
how microphones work
electricity goes into
the speaker and amplifies the sound. She
wondered what would
happen if the route was
reversed sound goes
in, electricity comes
out. From that dinner
table game, an idea was
born, an idea that she
took to the science fair
her senior year.
That was when the
naysayers showed up.
Through extensive
research and experiments, during which her parents living
room was packed full of about 30 speakers and her family had to wander the house
wearing ear protection, Rickard was able
to create proof of concept, which is the
main requirement at the science fair. By
the end of the project, I showed that I could
reverse the operation of a speaker and I
researched how you could charge the batteries. I showed it could work. And it was
amazing to me how many people came to
my booth at the science fair and said it was
not possible.
It was widely accepted that it was impossible but I had proven you could do it,
she said.
For the next few years, Rickard never
let up on her invention. As she was taking
classes at CSM, she was always thinking
about how the concepts she learned could
be applied to it. In Colorado, she kept thinking about it. When she started at NAVAIR,
it was at the top of her mind. Then, finally,
she had the opportunity to make ithappen.
NAVAIR has a program called the Innovation Challenge, in which teams of
workers get together and have six months
to make something new. Rickard found a
team of three other people who were willing to see her vision, or at least to try it out
and see if they could do it. Once her team
was in place, Rickard did her best to step
back and let the team work. In fact, she was
not the team leader on the project, even
though it was her idea.
I was too emotionally invested, and I
knew that if I was the leader, I would want
to push the team in the way I wanted to go
instead of the way that the project needed
to go. I knew it could mean I had blinders
on, she said.
Rick Tarr, who works in the technology
transfer office at the Naval Air Warfare
Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) at
Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Maryland, said Rickard was a great match for the
commands inaugural NAVAIR Innovation
Kristina Rickard
Challenge, which is a competitive initiative

in which teams of junior employees propose their concepts.
NAWCAD is finding opportunities to
partner with CSM and other colleges and
universities in a variety of ways. In the
past, NAWCAD has been able to employ
university students to help with inventions like Rickards. We have thousands
of scientists and engineers solving military
problems, and when they do that, they invent things, he said. From there, the Navy
works to make sure those inventors are
properly compensated and that the products are not solely used in the military, but
in the civilian marketplace as well.
Tarr said NAWCADs partnerships with
colleges are beneficial to all involved.
Were producing a workforce that is staying in Southern Maryland, like Kristina is
doing, he said. We see CSM as an integral part of that ecosystem.
Because of all these pieces in the puzzle,
Rickard went from a family game around
the dinner table to NAVAIR. Now, after all
her dreaming, thinking, researching, experimenting and working, the NavNoiseX
exists and is fully operational as a prototype. The invention looks nothing like
Rickard expected it to, but it performs exactly as it should and as she said it would in
that high school science fair in 2009.
The MIT Energy Club vice president
was recently asked if acoustic energy harvesting was possible, to which he answered
no, and listed several reasons why it was
impossible. Well, I took each of his reasons,
each of his challenges, and made those excuses into project milestones. And for all
the people who said I couldnt do it? I did.

Weekly Fishing Report
By Ken and Linda Lamb
Special to The County Times
Spot are in Kingston Hollow between

Myrtle Point and the Solomons bridge. Bottom fishermen in boats and off the Town
Creek Pier landed big spot over the weekend.
The bluefish followed this moving feast
on Saturday night and pier fishermen were
catching them two at the time on fresh cut bait.
Blues and spanish mackerel continued up
the river and trollers and lure casters did
well on Sunday afternoon. One troller
using planers and drone spoons landed
three big spanish mackerel and a dozen or
so blues in the three to four pound range.
There are scattered rockfish in Patuxent and Potomac in good size. There are
breaking rockfish on some days with big
flocks of gulls feeding on the scraps left
by the fish. Other days the fish are down
and they can be found on the depth finders and jigged. Good days result in two
per person over 20 inches. Bad days
mean lots of action with undersized fish.
Bigger rockfish are breaking on both sides of
the bay from the Gas Docks to the Bay Bridge.
White perch are very active in the creeks

the Honga River
and rivers for lure casters in the shallows

and in the 30 foot depths for sinker dunkers. Undersize redfish are everywhere in the
creeks and on the riverbanks. There may
some closing in on the 18 inch minimum.
Cobia and big channel bass were caught last
week by sight casters, trollers, and chummers
in the bay from buoy 72 to the Target Ship.
Rockfish have been breaking in the evening
at Cedar Point. Trollers and lure casters are
catching plenty with some blues mixed in, but
there are some days they dont want to play.
Speckled trout are in the Honga River and
persistent fishermen have done very well
in the back thoroughfares and cuts.
Washingtons 38-16 Week 1 loss to the

Pittsburgh Steelers was a comprehensive
destruction of a franchise desperately
trying to sow some semblance of a winning culture. Pittsburgh treated Washington like a Southern Maryland spring
thunderstorm treats a freshly planted garden full of vulnerable vegetable plants.
When the hail and gale force winds subsided, it was a total loss.
Washington was outplayed, outcoached and outclassed as an organization. Whatever momentum Washington
had from last seasons playoff berth and
whatever mojo QB Kirk Cousins had after his record-setting 2015-16 campaign
was completely eviscerated after three
brutal hours of physical and strategic
domination (and the fog carried over this
week against Dallas).
The Black and Gold are contenders; the
Burgundy and Gold are pretenders. Its
that simple.
Washington was universally bad, but
its defense was horrific. Pittsburgh ran at
will, created explosive plays in the passing game, neutered Washingtons pass
rush and routinely uprooted the line of
scrimmage and shoved it downfield.
Watching the destruction, I longed for
perspective from Sam Huff, Washingtons tough-as-nails Hall of Fame middle
linebacker and one half of the long-time
Sonny (Jurgensen) and Sam musthear game day color
commentary. Huff
would have shredded this defensive
abomination and, in
doing so, validated
the frustration of
irate fans.
But Dr. Huff, having retired in 2013,
was
unavailable.
Huff did make news
in the week following the game, but it
had nothing to do
with a tongue lashing of the defense.
Sadly, it seems the
icon is suffering
from dementia and
an ongoing legal
dispute between his
caregiver and daughter garnered the unfortunate attention.
For former NFL
players and their
families,
Huffs
story has become
all too familiar.
While prior generations unknowingly
put their long-term
health in peril, the
disturbing facts are
now indisputable: Football increases the

risk of degenerative brain disease. Huff
didnt know that; current players do and
with this knowledge comes confusion.
Do you stop playing a game you love?
Avoid it altogether? And if youre an
NFL player, do you truncate a lucrative
and rewarding career?
In short, how do you balance todays
risks against tomorrows consequences?
With early retirements more common,
its clearly on players minds. After a
particularly harsh beating during the season opener against the Denver Broncos,
Carolina Panthers QB Cam Newton was
asked about long-term health concerns.
Here is the reigning MVPs response:
Im worried about winning. Thats
it. Winning. Winning football games.
Thats why Im here. Im not here to worry about retirement plans. Im not here
to worry about pensions. Im not here to
worry about workers comp. Im here to
win football games. Simple and plain.
This is a contact sport. This is a physical
sport.
Part of me loves that response - LOVES
IT. Passionate. Competitive. All-in.
Another part of me, a new conscienceladen version, worries about Newton
and his peers and their post-NFL life. A
2014 NFL report indicated that 30% of
NFL players will suffer from degenerative brain disease, making them twice as
likely as the general public to be diagnosed - and many will be diagnosed at
disturbingly young ages. Huff is part of
the 30%. Will Newton be? It is a difficult outcome to consider.
But life is a thrilling, hazard-infused
odyssey. Living in a risk-free bubble
a place with no fried foods, red meat or
alcohol, where sexual pursuits are closely
legislated and where everyone drives the
speed limit - sure would be a drag. And
even then, there are unavoidable stressors
relationships, careers, parenthood, etc.
that can be clear and present dangers to
human health.
Hunter S. Thompson captured our
earthly journey well when he said, Life
should not be a journey to the grave with
the intention of arriving safely in a pretty
and well preserved body, but rather to
skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke,
thoroughly used up, totally worn out and
loudly proclaiming Wow! What a ride.
That about sums it up, indeed. Of
course how that quote is interpreted and
applied how an experience today is balanced against a potential consequence
tomorrow - is unique to every person, pro
football quarterback or not.

County Celebrating
70 Years At The Fair
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
For nearly three-quarters of a century
county residents have been flocking to the
St. Marys County Fair and its popularity
only seems to grow.
This year the fair will be celebrating its
70th consecutive year of operation and its
chief organizer said that attendees will be
able to enjoy the fair with newly constructed amenities.
Weve been making a lot of improvements these past 10 years, said John Richards. And in the past five years weve
made some major changes.
Buildings the 4-H structure that collapsed as a result of the 2011 snowstorm
have been rebuilt as have stadium seats,
Richards said.
The fair association has also put new siding on the live stock barns and paved the
walkways of the fairgrounds.
For decades the fairgrounds have been a
strictly dirt-and-gravel walkway affair.
Wherever people walk its going to be
on asphalt now, Richards said. The money we raised from the fair paid for the renovations weve done.
The fairs auditorium has been renovated
and new airconditioning installed and the
fair association has also built new bathrooms for attendees that are airconditioned
as well.
The fair will continue to have rides,
games and activities for families as it has
for years but Richards said, the celebration
of agriculture will continue to be a main focus of the county fair.
Livestock barns will be full of cows,
chickens, pigs and other farm animals and
other fair barns will house all kinds of educational displays as well as home arts and
crafts.
Gardening displays by local clubs will
also be on hand during the three-day fair in
Leonardtown as well as traditional county

food preparation demonstrations, including
one for stuffed ham.
The fairs parade will also have a new
addition this year, with a fully refurbished
and rebuilt stagecoach owned by Wayne
Mast of Waynes Signs in Mechanicsville,
which will be hitched to a team of his well
known Clydesdale horses.
Mast said that his lifelong interest in
stagecoaches led him to search all the way
out to Oklahoma to find one.
Ive always liked them, Mast said
of the relic of a bygone era. Whens the
last time youve ever really seen one.
Mast said he put about $20,000 into restoring the stagecoach, whose front end had to
be completely replaced.
He said it took about four months to refurbish the stagecoach after it was trucked
in from Oklahoma after he found and purchased it over the internet.
Its been a bit of a challenge to do it,
Mast said of getting the stagecoach ready
for the fair. This is the first time it will be
out in the public since we got it.
Richards said that all the work that keeps
the fair going comes from volunteers who
work all year to make one central event
happen.
While the county may own the land under fair-goers feet, its the fair association
that keeps the annual operations, and a
county institution, running.
Were here all year long, Richards said.
Its like a three-ring circus.
It keeps us busy, it wears us out but its
fun.

Tip of the Week

I organizing my sewing room, I have many sizes of plastic drawer/boxes.
I use the ones that have three or four drawers. The units can be different
sizes, in fact that is better. I have all my scissors, rotary, cutters, elastic,
coloring item, needles, both hand and machine, etc. each in a different
drawer. I put a temporary label with content on each drawer.
Such organization. I can always find my tools.

Southern Marylander You Should Know

By David Spigler
Contributing Writer
DEACON ROBERT AND JANE CONNELLY
LIFELONG COMMUNITY, CHURCH, AND EDUCATION VOLUNTEER LEADERS
Last week I told the story about young

15 year old Josh Deguzman, the sharp Boy
Scout responsible for a project to erect a
fence that helps to keep school kids safer
when playing on the school grounds. This
week, I want to report on a wonderful loving couple in their eighties that have devoted their lives in the support of others. Robert and Jane Connelly continue to perform
and contribute acts of charity and service
and are just outstanding role models who
are living proof that we can remain viable
and productive well into our later years!
These two octogenarians amaze me with
their spunk and energy to this day! Just
this week while attending the funeral Mass
for a previous unsung hero highlighted by
me last year, Deacon Bob helped celebrate this service by reading the Gospel
while Jane sang as a member of the choir.
I have never met a couple that just cannot
sit still!
Bob and Jane have had very interesting
and exciting lives. They are not from the
area and took more than 23 years in deciding to retire to Southern Maryland. But
looking back they are happy to have made
the choice to come to the land of the pleasant living or, as they refer to it, Gods
Country! They spent years searching the
entire East Coast before deciding to anchor
here along the Patuxent. They logged considerable time sailing on the Chesapeake
Bay and have been members of the United
States Power Squadron all of their married
life. Upon retiring here, they also joined the
Patuxent River Sail and Power Squadron.
Bob was born in Detroit, Michigan and
was raised in nearby Grosse Pointe. Jane
hails from Westchester, New York and was
raised in Grosse Pointe as well. They met
in 1956 and after a long courtship [by todays standards], they married in 1958 and
recently celebrated their 58th Anniversary.
Young Bob attended a Jesuit high school
in Campion, Wisconsin and following
graduation enlisted in the Navy and attended boot camp at Great Lakes, Illinois.
He was assigned to the crew of President
Harry Trumans yacht the USS Williamsburg here in Washington, DC. He held the
position as the Ships Photographer and
during his exciting two years with the President, he had the opportunity to meet many
leaders of the free world including Winston
Churchill among others. He later served on
a Navy destroyer in Europe, a job that had
to be less thrilling and memorable. Following his service, he returned to Detroit and
completed his Jesuit education at

the University of Detroit earning
a Masters Degree in Business.
Jane attended high school in
Grosse Pointe, studied at the
Convent of the Sacred Heart and
completed her education at the
Newton College of the Sacred
Heart in Massachusetts, now
part of Boston College. Both
of their schools stressed the importance of service to others as
part of their curriculum. And it
is obvious, this training played a
large part in forming the direction their early lives took over
the years. Jane began by working summers at a settlement house in Detroit counseling a group of 9 and 10 year old boys,
instructing them in their studies as well as
in their play. She was crazy about working
with these kids and fell in love with working with youth and education. She made a
career out of seizing opportunities to work
with young people and turning them into
mature youngadults.
These two started their family while living in Michigan, eventually raising four
children Richard, Mary Beth, Heather,
and Bill who is deceased. They are proud
grandparents of seven, of whom one, Kyle,
is deceased. Following a short career
with Michigan Bell, Bob transferred to
Chesapeake and Potomac Bell [now Verizon] here in DC in the early 60s. They
joined St. Elizabeths Parish in Rockville.
The congregation had no church building
at the time and held Sunday Masses at a
movie theater! I have been there and done
that having attended Mass at the Langley
Park Theater for a couple of years until St.
Camillus raised enough money to build a
church as well. I raise eyebrows when I
tell folks I made my First Communion in
a movie house!
An interesting fact about this time in
their life, they met a young teenager that
was helping at the theater during Mass.
That teenager is now Monsignor Mike
Wilson, Pastor of Our Lady Star of the Sea
where Bob serves as a Deacon! And good
friends at St. Elizabeths, Deacon Jack and
Mary Ann Etzel, later came down to Solomons where Jack was also a Deacon at Our
Lady until his passing two months ago. I
told Jacks wonderful story last month.
Bob has been an ordained deacon in the
Archdiocese of Washington, DC for 36

A Joyce By Any Other Name

Some months ago, Prince Firstly came
to me one evening and told me that he had
decided it was time to propose to his longtime girlfriend, the Lovely Lady Sarah.
Weve all assumed that they would eventually marry, but now it was going to be formalized, the agreement locked down.
Part of the timing, the Prince explained,
was a recent health scare Sarah had.
Though she is absolutely fine now, he found
himself thinking, suddenly about what his
life would be like without her in it. As if I
would object (I wouldnt) that he was rushing things out of fear, he hurriedly assured
me that hed been thinking about marriage
for quite a while. They talked about it from
time to time, too; he was confident that this
was what both he and Sarah wanted.
He had a plan: they were going on a trip
to Niagara Falls in a few months, and he
intended to surprise her as they passed under the waterfalls. After some moderate
agonizing, he also had a ring. Sarah had
cooperated by dropping the occasional hint
over the years about how much she likes
sapphires, and Prince Firstly listened, tucking away first the information, and eventually the ring, in anticipation of the moment.
When the time arrived, he dropped to
one knee like a Knight errant, pledging
his troth and, I assume, putting into words
what has long been understood. There were
tears, laughter, and pictures (the others on
the Maid of the Mist, strangers when they
pushed off from the dock, became instant
friends for the day; in the pictures you can
see the smiles and almost hear the cheering
as the circle surrounding them celebrates
the new beginning).
That evening, my eldest son and my

daughter-in-law-to-be called to officially
announce the news. As if it was yesterday, I
remembered making a similar call 27 years
before. Now, of course, things are a little
more technologically advanced. Prince
Firstly, Sarah, and I were talking on Facetime, so I could see the joy on their faces as
I heard it in their words and voices. They
sounded giddy, proud, excited, and a hundred other emotions that capture just what
a wonderful pair they are, and just how
promising the future looks for them.

As I hung up after we talked,
I found myself thinking about howas
a feministI had wondered, in the past,
whether my sons wives would keep their
own names. While I would never interfere
with relationship decisions that are theirs
alone, in the past I had wondered what I
might say if they asked for my opinion on
the name-change issue. It turns out, though,
that in the case of Prince Firstly and Sarah,
this issue wont be the one that causes their
first major engaged-couple conflict.

Prince Firstlys civilian name is
Chris Joyce, and his fiances name is SarahJoyce. So, thats one possible source of
stress eliminated; drivers licenses, bank
cards, you name it, will all stay the same,
as if theyve been a couple forever (legally speaking). In any case, when it comes
to whats really important--extra-legally
speaking--Im pretty sure thats so; they
have been soul-mates forever.
As a parent, I cant think of anything I
want more for my children.
I love hearing from you; feel free to email
me at thewordtech@md.metrocast.net.

Oh boy, cooler weather means fire pit
nights are coming soon and I cant wait. I
think all of us are ready for fall this year. I
know I am. Please, lets not have anymore
90 plus degree humid weather. Hopefully
the mosquitos will go into hibernation or

seems like the leaves are falling earlier this

year too. My husband said he will close our
pool the end of the week because of all the
leaves Ill miss looking at it. I was driving home last night and thought, Wow the
corn is already brown it seems like just
yesterday the stalks were green and lush.
My favorite little friends, the squir-
rels, (you know I am saying that sarcastically) are busy in our yard grabbing all
the nuts they can hoard. We have Hickory
nuts, Acorns, and Black Walnuts its like
a field day for them. This year the squirrels
may have to make do with a few less nuts
now that we have Mindy. Mindy is a voracious, nut-eating dog. She doesnt always
eat them; in fact I think she spits most of
the nut out like she does with sticks. Well, I
suppose dogs need their fiber too.
I am partial to the acorns and hickory nuts. The scent is so wonderful from
Hickory nuts especially. I am constantly
picking them up and smelling them that
is when I am not slipping on them. One of
the first things I remember after marrying
my husband and moving in this house was
walking out the front door in the fall, and
slipping and falling on the nuts in the yard.
The bruises stayed for quite a while.
When I was a child I would sit under
our Hickory tree and write in my diary or
read my Nancy Drew books, completely
oblivious to ants or anything else for that
matter. The book I loved the most as a
young girl was My Side of the Mountain by
Jean Craighead George. A movie was also
made of this in 1969. This is how I wanted
to live my life at 8 years old, and I am sure
many other children did at that time as
well. The story revolves around a 12-yearold boy named Sam Gribley who leaves for
the Canadian woods to live alone and work
on experiments. He makes a home in the
hollow of a tree and befriends all the forest
animals. One of my favorite parts is when
he crushes acorns to make flour for his
pancakes. I always wanted to do that and
vaguely remember crushing a few acorns
when I wasnt squashing Sumac berries to

make ink with which to draw. I still would

like to try that but looked up acorn flour
and found that it is too much work. I did
find a site to buy all things acorn: Acorno
Acorns, where they advertise the flour:
Buy all-natural gluten free white oak
acorn flour. Preparing Acorn flour for edible consumption is a long tedious process
of leaching the acorns of tannins, peeling
the skin off the acorns and grinding the
acorn nut meats into flour. Order a lb. of
delicious nutty & earthy white oak acorn
flour today! The site also posted the price
as $29.95 a pound. Wow, you have to really
like acorn flour for that.
As an added bonus you can also order
up to 50,000 pounds of acorns picked from
all over the Eastern United States. Why? I
have to ask. The gallon bottle of acorn scent
to be used as a deer attractant also caught
my eye. For only $65.00 a gallon it says
you can spray the area around where you
are hunting for a mouth-watering attractant
for the deer. The site also suggests spraying
yourself and your clothing with the acorn
scent. Again, I have to ask why you would
want to spray yourself to attract deer. That
can only have a bad outcome Im thinking.
Especially after the run-in Mindy and I
had with the crazed buck a few weeks ago.
What would have happened if I had been
sitting in a pile of acorns before our walk. I
shudder to think. Well anyway, have a good
weekend, and Ill try to not act like a nut.

Captain William Mitchell

Probably one of the biggest scumbags
who ever came to Maryland was Captain
William Mitchell, born about 1605. That
he used and abused women there can be no
doubt. He married Anne Alwin circa 1630
and they came to Maryland about 1647.
Anne died during the voyage and it was
suspected she had been poisoned by her
husband.
Also on the ship was Ann Boulton whom
Mitchell had hired as a governess for his
children. Prior to 1652, Mitchell sold Ann
Boulton to Francis Brooks to be his wife
(although he had no authority to do so) and
then withheld her personal possessions.
Ann died in 1653 and the following year
Brooks took Mitchell to court to recover
his wifes trunk and keys.
There was yet a third girl on this voyage
from hell. She was Susan (Smith) Warren,
a 21 year old widow. Mitchell tried to convince her to abandon Christianity and succeeded in convincing her, or forcing her, to
sleep with him. When she became preg-
