T-Bone Style Crash Results in Fatality

By Lauren Procopio
Staff Writer
On Monday, Feb. 16, around 6:30 p.m., deputies from the Calvert County
Sheriffs Office responded to the top of the Thomas Johnson Bridge in response to a fatal accident involving a Toyota Camry and Jeep. Upon arrival,
deputies requested the assistance of the Calvert County Sheriffs Office Reconstruction Unit.
According to police, preliminary investigation revealed the Toyota Camry was traveling southbound on the bridge when the driver lost control of the
vehicle. The Toyota went into a sideways slide and crossed the centerline into
the northbound lane of travel. The Jeep was traveling in the northbound lane
and struck the Toyota in the passengers side causing severe intrusion into
the passengers side of the vehicle. There were no passengers in either vehicle
and both drivers were transported to St. Marys MedStar.
The driver of the Toyota was pronounced decease and the driver of the
Jeep was listed in stable condition, according to police. A third vehicle had
minor contact with the rear end of the Jeep after the initial crash took place.
According to police, the Solomons Volunteer Fire Department (VFD)
and Rescue Squad, Lexington Park Rescue Squad, Hollywood VFD, St.
Leonard VFD and Rescue Squad, Calvert Advanced Life Support, State
Highway Administration, St. Marys County Sheriffs Office and Maryland
State Police worked together to clear the incident and to reopen the bridge.
Anyone with information pertaining to this crash is encouraged to contact Cpl. T. Phelps of the Calvert County Sheriffs Office Crash Reconstruction Unit.

Arc of Southern
Maryland Goes
to Bat for Budget
By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
Last year, the Maryland General Assembly
passed a legislative mandate to increase finding to
community-based developmental disability by 3.5
percent annually in fiscal year (FY) 2016-2019. In
the governors proposed budget, the percent was cut
in half.
This cut undermines efforts to keep support
staff compensation competitive, said Arc of Southern Maryland Executive Director Terry Long. Support jobs, such as working in the residential homes,
takes months of training and are hard work. If the
minimum wage continues to creep up, individuals
working in those support positions may decide they
can take an easier job for the same pay.
The Arc of Southern Maryland has a 30 percent attrition rate, Long said, which is much lower than similar organizations statewide, but still
disruptive, especially for the individuals the Arc
provides services to, Long said. If they cant keep
pay rates competitive, Long anticipates the attrition rate rising.
Representatives from the Arc of Southern
Maryland will be in Annapolis, Md., on Feb. 19
for Developmental Disabilities Day to speak to
legislators about issues of concern, including the
budget increases to keep wages competitive for
support staff.

Teaming up for TJ
Gently Family Dentistry and Postons

Fitness for Life to take on the Warrior Dash
Local
NEWS
By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
Postons Fitness for Life and Gentle Family Dentistry are teaming up to run the Warrior Dash
on May 16 in Mechanicsville, Md. at 10:15 a.m.
The team, dubbed the Dunkirk Destroyers, will be a participating in the St. Jude Childrens
Research Hospital Warrior Wave, which requires an additional $10 fee (to be donated directly to St.
Judes) which is included in the $65 entry fee.
They will be running in honor of TJ Mauck, a three year-old Edgewater resident whose family
is from Calvert and Southern Anne Arundel Counties. He has been diagnosed with Embryonal Paratesticular Rhabdomyosarcoma, a type of cancer that is extremely rare, one in millions.
Postons and Gentle Family Dentistry were both forming teams for the Warrior Dash, said
Gentle Family Dentistry Marketing Specialist Dana Green, and when she heard about the Mauck
family through Facebook, she suggested they run in honor of TJ.
The Dunkirk Destroyers team has 58 participants, making it the largest team in Warrior Dash
history, Green said. The previous record was 46.
In addition to signing up for the Warrior Dash, the team has raised $500 to be donated to the
Mauck family, according to Postons Fitness Director of Athletic Performance and Programming
Scott Chamberlin.
The Warrior Dash is not the first fundraiser for TJ. Veras White Sands Beach Club will host
a fundraiser chili cook-off on March 7. When TJ had his third birthday, his family asked people to
send cards. They were expecting 100 at most, said Alice Mauck, TJs mother. They got more than
2,000, and cards are still coming, she said.
Can you believe people care so much?
The majority of fundraisers have been organized by strangers who heard about TJ and want to
help, Mauck said.
Its been overwhelming and amazing. Its completely restored my faith in humanity, she said.

Octopus Named
at CMM
NEWS
Calvert Cliffs
Unit 2 Offline
for Scheduled
Refueling
Operators removed Calvert Cliffs Unit 2 from service early this morning
for a planned refueling outage. While the unit is offline, technicians will replace
nearly one-third of the reactors fuel and perform thousands of tests and preventive maintenance activities to keep the unit running safely and effectively
for another two years. Most of this work cannot be performed while the unit is
online.
This years refueling outage represents Exelons continued investment in
the future of safe and reliable operations at Calvert Cliffs, said Site Vice President George Gellrich. In addition to the thousands of safety inspections and
preventative maintenance tasks underway this year, we are upgrading a host of
key components that will help the station run more efficiently and effectively
for many years to come.
Calverts bi-annual Unit 2 refueling outage will bring an additional 1,500
highly trained technical workers to Southern Maryland. Many come back year
after year to patronize area hotels, restaurants and businesses. The influx of
outage workers helps support local businesses at a time when tourism is traditionally down.
Calvert Cliffs is located on the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay in Calvert County and is Marylands only nuclear energy facility. The station is home
to two pressurized water reactors capable of generating 1,768 megawatts combined. Units 1 and 2 began commercial operation in 1975 and 1977, respectively.

The Calvert Marine Museum is pleased to announce that the octopus picked her own
name after a month long contest that built excitement and fun! The contest began in early
January encouraging participants to visit the museum and leave their suggestion in the ballot box in the Museum Store for the chance to win an octopus basket full of goodies.
With over 600 entries submitted by January 30, the Store was flooded with children
and adults. The top twelve names were selected and the CMM Board of Directors decided
on the final three names. Inky, Wiggles, and Squirt were put in separate containers
baited with shrimp and Inky chose her own name (or at least the Inky container) on Feb.
10 at 11 a.m.
Five-year old Brady Jordan from Hollywood, Maryland is the winner of the contest
and basket full of goodies. Thank you to everyone that participated. Dont miss seeing Inky
on your next trip to the Calvert Marine Museum as she is very responsive and loves visitors!

Stolen Vehicle Involved

in Police Pursuit
Suspects Identity Unknown

By Lauren Procopio
Staff Writer
An unknown suspect operating a stolen Dodge Charger was injured in a police
pursuit Sunday evening.
On Feb. 15, around 8 p.m., the Calvert County Control Center received a 911 call
from a victim who stated his 2012 white Dodge Charger was stolen from Mint Ct. in
Prince Frederick, according to police.
Deputy Ward, of the Calvert County Sheriffs Office, witnessed a vehicle matching the same description as the stolen vehicle traveling northbound on Md. Rt. Four
in the vicinity of Calvert Memorial Hospital and attempted to stop the vehicle. The
driver accelerated the vehicle and a pursuit ensued. Sheriffs Office units coordi-
Owings Man
Arrested
for Violating
Protective Order
By Lauren Procopio
Staff Writer
Robert Corcoran, 72, of Owings, was arrested Feb. 7 for violating a protective
order and telephone misuse after he allegedly called the Hair Cuttery, located in
Dunkirk, multiple times asking for the victim in the case.
Trooper First Class J. Palumbo, of the Maryland State Police (MSP), responded to the Hair Cuttery and made contact with the victims daughter, Kelly
Corcoran-Badues. Badues advised Palumbo that her father, Robert Corcoran had
called the establishment multiple times in an attempt to locate the victim. The
victim stated to police she has a temporary protective order against Corcoran.
Palumbo spoke to Rebecca Julie Hubbard, an employee at Hair Cuttery, who said
she answered the suspects calls and said he called the business three to four times
asking if the victim was in the establishment. Hubbard stated she told the suspect
each time the victim was not there, but that he continued to call and interrupted
the store employees from performing their work duties.
Badues told police the suspect arrived to the establishment shortly after they
arrived and was waiting in the parking lot and parked in a handicapped space
for around 30 minutes, but did not enter the Hair Cuttery. The victim stated she
believed Corcoran was waiting for her to finish her hair appointment in order to
make contact with her.
According to police, the protective order states Robert Corcoran shall not
contact the victim by any other means. The suspect was located at his son-in-laws
residence in Prince Frederick. Police arrested Corcoran and transported him to the
MSP Prince Frederick Barrack and Calvert County Detention Center for further
processing.
Corcoran is scheduled to appear in District Court on March 23.
If found guilty, Corcoran faces 90 days and/or a $1,000 for violating the protective order and three years and/or a $500 fine for telephone misuse/repeated
calls.
nated the deployment of stop sticks in the area of Cherry Hill Road and Md. Rt. Four.
According to police, the stop sticks deflated the vehicles side front tire. The vehicle
continued to travel northbound on Rt. Four; the tire that was deflated separated from
the rim of the vehicle in the vicinity of Skinners Turn Rd. The vehicle continued
driving north on only the rim at speeds in excess of 100 MPH, according to police.
The driver crossed county lines into Anne Arundel County and then into Prince
Georges County. The driver took the exit for Water Street at the Equestrian Center
in Upper Marlboro, where it crashed into a tree in the wooded area along the access
ramp that leads back to Md. Route Four north, according to police. The unknown
suspect fled the scene on foot. K-9 and a helicopter with FLIR were deployed in
an effort to find the suspect, which were unsuccessful. Police found a substantial
amount of blood around the crash scene and blood-drenched clothing was also found
nearby indicating the suspect received a considerable amount of injury during the
crash. The Prince Georges County Police Department responded to assist with the
search and assumed the crash investigation. Maryland State Police assisted with the
search as well.
Anyone with information regarding the identity or whereabouts of this suspect is encouraged to contact Deputy Ward at 410-535-2800. Calvert County Crime
Solvers pays cash rewards for information leading to the arrest and prosecution of
suspects; you can contact crime solvers at 410-535-2880.
Sheriffs Deputies
Take Steps to
Address Heroin Use
The number of heroin overdoses in Calvert County and across the nation continues to increase annually. Prescription drug abusers are finding it
more difficult to get their hands on the often abused prescription pills and have
subsequently turned to heroin as a cheaper more easily accessible alternative.
Fraudulent prescriptions continue to be a significant problem, in addition to the
heroin epidemic.
As a result of the increase in heroin overdoses in Calvert County, the Sheriffs Office has trained and equipped the majority of our patrol deputies with
NARCAN. When deputies arrive on the scene of overdoses with unconscious
subjects they administer NARCAN which reduces the side effects of the substance the individuals have overdosed on. Individuals who have overdosed and
receive NARCAN are transported to Calvert Memorial Hospital where they
are seen by a doctor before they are released. While the NARCAN takes the
side effects away and brings the subjects out of their unconscious state, it does
not take the substance out of their system. If the subjects shoot up or ingest
heroin or other opiates after being administered NARCAN without being seen
by a doctor, the potential for a fatal overdose is significantly increased. Individuals who call for assistance for subjects who have overdosed are exempt
from facing criminal charges.
Calvert County Sheriffs Office patrol personnel continue to make arrests
for violations of the controlled dangerous substance laws. The CCSO Drug
Enforcement Unit focuses on arresting and prosecuting those selling controlled
dangerous substances. While law enforcement throughout the state continues
to battle the heroin epidemic, it is a far bigger problem than law enforcement
can address alone. Citizens are encouraged to contact Calvert County Crime
Solvers at 410-535-2880 to report any tips on drug or illicit activity.

The Federal Government is a system

of systems in an environment of debate
and compromise.
Many misuse the term Federal Government when they actually mean the
National Government. The Federal Government consists of National, State, and
Local Governments. Each performs a
role; intended to have minimal overlapping of responsibilities, but clearly engaged with each other.
Evan K.
The National Government is by de- Slaughenhoupt Jr. (R)
sign constrained with its powers listed within the U.S. Constitution. While
debatable how far it grew from the
constraints, certain powers are designated to the National
Government. The powers not delegated to the United States
by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are
reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
Following the logic, fewer powers are intended to exist within the National Government, but increasingly greater
for the State and Local Governments, with the greatest resting with the Citizens.
As an elected official at the local level, it is humorous
hearing reference to elected officials at the State and National levels as serving in higher office. Why isnt serving
at the local level the highest office as it is the closest to
those truly holding power, the Citizens? Local officials get
much more involved in the direct delivery of service to the
Citizens. State and National elected officials are supposed to
deal in broader matters often of further distance and interest
from the day to day life of Citizens.
During these next few months when the State of Maryland legislature is in session, various bills will be proposed,
debated, and some signed into law. Some of the bills will be
well intended and yet may have negative consequences to the
Local Government and to the Citizens.
Rest assured that when the Calvert County Board of
Commissioners (BOCC) takes a position to support, oppose,
or amend any particular State bill, any given position the
BOCC takes will be based upon protecting citizen rights and
ensuring the maximum amount of government services are
delivered to the Citizens while taking the fewest amount of
dollars from those Citizens.
The debates, sometimes in private, sometimes more
publicly, where disagreements may occur should be based
upon merit; not political party loyalty, nor deals to trade
support of one for another. Some debates may occur within
the BOCC and others may be with state legislators. The free
exchange of ideas and positions is healthy as it means the
interest of the Citizens is being addressed rather than the
interest of the levels of government, special interest, or the
individual elected official.
Citizens ought to worry more if they see/hear NO
disagreements among the various levels of their Federal
Government.

Attacking the Drug Epidemic

A Newly Formed Court
Designed for Drug Addicts
By Lauren Procopio
Staff Writer
Calvert County has a new court aimed to deter drug use in the county Treatment Court commonly known as, Adult Drug Court. The court had its first hearing
Thursday Feb. 5 and according to Treatment Court Coordinator Molly Owens, it
went really, really well.
We brought six people onto the drug court, which is pretty outstanding for
the first go-around. Theres a lot of need out there, were getting a lot of referrals,
Owens said.
We have more people applying to the program than we can handle under our
current grant thats how great the need is right now, States Attorney Laura Martin
stated.
According to Owens, the program has received 28 referrals, but the program is
only accepting 15 cases at this time. Currently, they have 11 people who are accepted
into the Drug Court program.
The program is an alternative system made for non-violent offenders, who have
a history of substance abuse, a chance to live a clean, healthy lifestyle.
[Were] looking for somebody who is salvageable, [committed a] non-violent
crime [and] facing jail time, so theyre going to be motivated to be successful in the
program, Martin said. If theyre committing robberies, theyre going to prison, but
if its the property crimes, then well look at them for drug court. If we have a victim
crime, like burglary or theft, we consult with the victim ahead of time to make sure
that this is something they can get on board with, if they are not, [then] we dont
recommend them for drug court. We listen to what the victim wants, she continued.
The Drug Court committee is made of up of the Treatment Court Coordinator
Molly Owens, States Attorney Laura Martin, Circuit Court Judge Mark Chandlee,
a representive from the Public Defenders Office, a representive from the detention
center, a representive from the Sheriffs Office, a representive from Parole and Probation and a representive from the Health Department, according to Owens. Circuit
Court Judge Marjorie Clagett is the person responsible for starting the Drug Court
Program in Calvert County, according to Owens and Martin.
This was really the brainchild of Judge Marjorie Clagett and she ought to get
the credit for it, Martin stated. Judge Chandlee is running it, he is great because he
has a wonderful perspective having been both prosecution and defense, and now hes
a judge so he has the whole well-rounded package, so hes perfect for the position,
but it was Marjorie that started it, Martin continued.
Judge Chandlee is presiding over the Drug Court cases; the drug court program
is a minimum of 18 months, followed by five years of supervised probation. One of
the special conditions of their probation is to successfully complete the drug court
program, should they fail to complete the program they have the original prison
sentence hanging over their head.
Right now, theres obviously a problem with heroin in the community and a lot
of the crimes being committed are because they are trying to get things to pay for
their drug habit. If you can deal with the drug abuse then youre going to curb the
crime and thats how were looking at it, Owens said.
The program, which Martin and Owens describe as intensive, works in phases. The person will have a full drug court assessment before being accepted into the
program, according to Owens. If the committee agrees to the person being accepted
into Drug Court, then Owens will contact the Health Department to do a drug treatment assessment. Once the treatment assessment is set up then Owens will schedule
their drug court date for their acceptance into the program. Once they are brought
into the program, they will meet with Owens every week and begin their drug treatment, if they havent done so already. The participant will be drug-tested by multiple
parties, including their treatment provider and the drug court committee. The participant is also assigned to the parole and probation officer who is apart of the drug
court committee.
It takes the entire team focusing on these few people and its that kind of oversight that I think is going to make this program a success. Its very intensive, but its
focused on that one individual, Martin said.
We have a lot of eyes looking at these people a lot of supervision, Owens
said.
There are different things they have to accomplish and be successful at to move
to the different phases. The phases are designed to be very intense and then ease it
up, as they get closer to the end of their 18 months, she continued.
We want to make sure that when youre done with us that youre set up in the
community to be successful for the rest of your life, so thats really what our emphasis is on. Its not just concentrating on the 18 months, Owens stated.
Owens stated the committee is looking for partnerships in the community in order
for the participants to have a chance of starting careers after they finish the program.

These people need to have hope, they really need to have hope because this
is circuit court these are felons. There not going to apply for a job and get it over
someone who doesnt have anything on their background, Owens stated. Their
background isnt what youd typically want to hire, but if you would take that risk
with us, well work with you in trying to make that person successful and a good
employee for you, she continued.
According to Owens, the Drug Court is funded through the Problem Solving
Court grant. Judge Clagett also made room in the courts budget for this program
as well.

Legislation Seeks
to Eliminate
Common Core
State Standards
By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
Legislation currently before the Maryland General Assembly seeks to rescind Marylands involvement in the Common Core State Standards.
The bill aims to prohibit the State Board of Education and specified county boards
of education from establishing specified educational policies, curriculum, and guidelines
that include or are based on the Common Core State Standards, prevent the State
Board from entering into any agreements or joining any organizations that give control
over educational matters to any entity other than the State, and require the State Board
to take specified steps to rescind the State Boards adoption of the Common Core State
Standards.
According to Calvert County Superintendent of schools Daniel Curry, the state superintendents association is always aware of people who want to do away with the common
core. One of the most detrimental misconceptions is that the common core is a set curriculum, he said. Instead, it is a set of targets for students to meet, but the methods used to
get students to that level are up to teachers and counties, Curry said.
There has been a huge investment in the US as a whole to prepare students and
teachers, Curry said, adding that there has been a national effort to develop standards
for students.
Curry believes the common core will work if given a chance and said it would be difficult to find people who find nothing worthwhile in the common core.
Unfortunately, its gotten wrapped up in politics, Curry said.
Local delegates Tony ODonnell (29C) and Matt Morgan (29A) are signed on the bill
as sponsors. Neither returned calls for comment.
The hearing for HB 406 is scheduled for Feb. 26 at 1 p.m. For more information,

An Enemy
Impossible
To Hate
By Ronald N. Guy Jr.
Contributing Writer
The plan was to be on the University of Maryland campus at least two hours
before tip-off. After that, our fate would be in the hands of the basketball gods.
We executed to precision. My buddy, a devout North Carolina fan, was decked
out in Carolina blue; I rocked the best threads from my extensive Terrapins wardrobe. We were quite the visual contrast, but we shared a common dream: to find our
way into Cole Field House to watch the Tar Heels play the always courageous, if not
equally talented, Terps.
There was a fly in our basketball dreams ointment: we lacked tickets. That
would be a minor issue in todays age of StubHub, but this game was played on Feb.
22, 1997. Game day scalpers controlled our fate.
There was another problem: we were young lads of limited means. We had
eighty bucks. We were all-in.
After trolling around Cole for a while, we learned that many (affordable) scalped
tickets were specially marked for students. To use them, you needed a Maryland ID.
The regular tickets? They far exceeded our meager budget. It looked bleak for the
little fans that could.
Dejected, we sat slumped on a curb holding out two fingers (a non-verbal demand signal for two tickets). Five minutes before tip, a voice from the heavens
asked, you guys need two? Uh, yessir. We confirmed they werent student tickets
and then asked the fateful question: How much?
Gimme fortyfor both.
The seats were in the third row, a few feet from the baseline. Thieves were we.
Unfortunately, the game lacked the drama of our pre-game adventure. North Carolina, behind Vince Carter and Antwawn Jamison, cruised to a 93-81 victory. The
1996-97 season would prove to be long-time Carolina head coach Dean Smiths last
and this game his finale at legendary Cole Field House.
Nearly 18 years later Feb. 8, to be exact I was back on the Maryland campus
to watch the womens basketball team play Nebraska. At halftime I grabbed my
wifes phone and checked the sports headlines. Bad news. Dean Smith had died.
Smith, after 36 years on the bench, retired with then-record 879 Division 1 wins
(many at Marylands expense). Before Duke became Duke, Marylands archrival,
the thorn in the Terrapins shell, was Smiths Tar Heels. North Carolina almost
always had better talent, seemed to get all the calls and had a knack for break-yourheart late-game heroics.
I remember one game fondly, though. On Feb. 20, 1986 maybe to the day
youre reading this Len Bias scored 35 points to lead Maryland to a 77-72 overtime
win over North Carolina, in Chapel Hill. It was the Tar Heels first loss at the glossy
new Dean Smith Center.
But such victories were rare. Carolina was the big brother Maryland could
rarely whip, the standard Maryland never reached.
This jaded, frustrating history should, by definition, mean that Smith is the
enemy. He should be hated. Loathed. His image should incite rage.
Truth is, I love and respect Dean Smith. He was just so darn classy. He wasnt
flamboyant. He never sought attention or craved credit. Smith never tried to be bigger than his players, his opponent or the game he sought only to blend in, despite
his gigantic status. Character was something Smith possessed, not something he
was. And this being Black History Month, it is important to remember his underpublicized (just as Smith would want it) contributions to desegregation. His progressive acts included being the first UNC coach to grant an athletic scholarship to
an African American and crashing a previously all-white restaurant with an African
American player shortly after the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
Former All-American Maryland center and sworn on-court Smith adversary
Len Elmore sent out the following tweet after Smiths death:
A life well lived, a job well done. The game, society has lost an icon. God bless
#The Dean.
Elmores statement captures Smiths legacy. A man whose profession demanded a winner and a loser died without a scant hint of an enemy. Dean Smith: a life
well lived, a life to be emulated.

Cruises to
Non-Conference
Win in New York
Thirteen Seahawks scored as the St. Marys College of Maryland mens basketball team stepped out of Capital Athletic Conference play and rolled to a 91-58
victory over the host Alfred State Pioneers Thursday evening.
Tonights triumph is the ninth straight for St. Marys (17-4) and puts Head Coach
Chris Harney just one win away from his 200th career victory. Harney currently
holds a 199-78 record in his 10 years.
The Seahawks, who rank sixth in the first edition of the NCAA Division III
Middle Atlantic Region rankings, returned to league action Feb. 14 as Wesley College visits the Michael P. OBrien Athletics & Recreation Center Arena. On Jan. 17,
St. Marys recorded a 67-59 win over the Wolverines in Dover, beginning its ninegame win streak.
Before the start of Saturdays action, the Seahawks recognized their three seniors team captains MacGyver Biniak (Elkridge, Md./Howard), Lee Jordan, Jr.
(Baltimore, Md./Baltimore Free Academy), and Nicholas LaGuerre (Baltimore,
Md./Lansdowne) on Senior Day. All mens basketball alums were invited back as
well to play in Saturdays annual alumni game at noon.
LaGuerre led the way for the Seahawks with game-bests of 17 points and six
rebounds while first-year guard Delaszo Smith (Baltimore, Md./Annapolis) came
off the bench to contribute a dozen on 5-of-9 shooting from the field. Smiths fellow
classmate Trey Hawkins (Huntingtown, Md./Huntingtown) also scored in double
figures as a reserve, chipping in 10 and game-high six boards.
St. Marys tenacious defense forced 26 Pioneer miscues, which resulted in 28
points while controlling the glass with a 41-36 rebounding margin. The Seahawk
bench shined brightly tonight combining for 46 of the teams 91 points.
The contest was close throughout the first half. Junior guard Justin Wallace
(Mount Vernon, N.Y./Mount St. Michael) pulled Alfred State (5-19) within three
with a triple at 8:37. St. Marys broke the game open by closing the half on a 24-4
from that point on for a 48-25 halftime lead.
LaGuerre collected all 17 of his points in the first 20 minutes to lead all scorers
at intermission while Smith picked up 10 of his 12. Wallace paced the Pioneers with
seven behind a pair of three-pointers.
Junior captain Troy Spurrier (Mt. Airy, Md./Glenelg) began the second stanza
with a bang as Spurrier dunked 11 seconds in. The Seahawks would go on to increase
their 23-point halftime lead to a 37-point margin with 3:44 left.
Alfred State was led by senior guard Tommy Hutson (Brooklyn, N.Y./Susan
McKinney) as Hutson tallied a dozen in the Pioneers sixth straight loss.

Lacrosse Home and
Season-Opener
Postponed
Head Coach Chris Hasbrouck announced Saturday afternoon that tomorrows home- and season-opener for the St. Marys College of Maryland mens
lacrosse team has been postponed.
The Seahawks were slated to open up the 2015 campaign at Seahawk Stadium on Sunday, Feb. 15 against No. 18 Roanoke College but the extreme cold
weather conditions brought on by Winter Storm Neptune have caused the games
postponement.
Both sides are currently working together to reschedule the matchup.
St. Marys now hopes to kick off its new season on Saturday, Feb. 21 as they
take on Dickinson College at the St. Pauls School in Brooklandville, Maryland.
The first face-off is scheduled for 1 p.m.

What a way to close out a series of concerts with none other than, the maestro of
the mandolin, Doyle Lawson, one of the lions in Bluegrass music. Doyle Lawson &
Quicksilver will be appearing at the American Legion Post 238 in Hughesville, Md.,
on Sunday March 8. The doors open at noon and the show starts at 2 p.m. Tickets
for the concert are $20 per person. The show is presented by Jay Armsworthy & The
Sons of the American Legion.
Lawson, a Tennessee native from Sullivan County, near Kingsport, began playing the mandolin at age 11 with a borrowed mandolin from a family friend. Doyle
cut his teeth listening to Bill Monroe on the radio playing the Grand Ole Opry on
Saturday nights. The young boy from East Tennessee went on to become a Bluegrass legend whose achievements continue to soar. With nearly 40 albums to their
credit, Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver (DLQ) have multiple Grammy, Dove, ICM,
IBMA and SPBGMA Award nominations, and are 7-time winners of IBMAs Vocal
Group of the Year.
In 2013, DLQ were crowned Bluegrass Gospel Artist of the Year at the 22nd
Annual Diamond Awards, and Doyle Lawson received his sixth SPBGMA Mandolin
Performer of the Year Award. Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver reigned as the Inspirational Country Music Association (ICM) Vocal Group of the Year in 2012, the same
year Lawson was inducted into the International Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame at
Nashvilles Ryman Auditorium.
Lawson was honored in February 2012 by Governor Bill Haslam and the State
of Tennessee for his contributions to the state and America through his music (Senate Joint Resolution 467).
Legendary in the Bluegrass genre and called a mandolin virtuoso with perfectly silken harmony by The New York Times, Doyle Lawson broke new ground in
2011 with a benchmark Childrens Hospital and Arena Tour, the first tour of its kind
in any genre, combining National Anthem performances at major sporting arenas
with performances for boys and girls at Childrens Hospitals in the same cities or
regions. Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver performed for nearly 108,000 people during
six games in 2011 alone not including Live broadcast audiences for the NBA and
NCAA games as well as for countless children, families, and staff in visits to childrens hospitals. DLQ sang their first NASCAR Anthem in 2012, kicking off Sprint
All-Star Weekend at Charlotte Motor Speedway, NASCARs second largest track
with 165,000 screaming fans, as they performed the National Anthem for NASCARs Education Lottery 200 in May, with other superstars on hand for the weekend
including Tim McGraw and Blake Shelton. Thats pretty impressive numbers and
company from the little boy from Kingsport, who grew up to be a LEGEND.
Tickets can be purchased at the door or in advanced by sending a check or
money order to Jay Armsworthy, P.O. Box 741, California, MD. They will be held
at the door. Bar-B-Que Sandwich platters will be available for sale prior to the
show. The American Legion is located on the corner of Maryland Rt. 381 and 231 in
Hughesville, Md. For more information, visit www.americanlegionbluegrass.com

How To Remove
Snow From
Your Roof
The beauty of winter landscapes is
not foremost on the minds of homeowners who have roofs full of heavy snow and
ice. What may seem beautiful elsewhere
can cause anxiety when one's home is under a precipitation onslaught.
Excessive snow loads on a roof can
cause the roof to leak or even collapse.
The weight, and not the depth, of the
snow is what determines if it needs to be
removed from the roof. Fluffy snow may
not be problematic, as it can take around
seven times as much dry snow to equal
the weight of wet snow.
After a snowstorm, go outside and
lift a few shovelfuls of snow. If it's backbreaking work, then the snow on your
roof may be dangerous.
Homes built to code can typically
handle the snow and ice load that comes
with the winter season. However, homes
that have undergone unapproved renovations, or those where load-bearing walls
have been removed from the interior
may be susceptible to catastrophic roof
collapses.
Another problem homeowners face
this time of year is ice dams, which occur
when snow on the roof melts slightly and
then refreezes, forming thick portions of
ice usually at the edges of the roof by the
gutters. Ice dams can divert melting snow
in and under roofing shingles instead of
through gutters and downspouts.
A common contributor to ice dams
is inadequate ventilation and insulation in
attics. Heat from the interior of the home
that rises into the attic can cause the roof
to warm up enough to melt the snow. This
is easily remedied by having ample insulation and ensuring proper ventilation of
the attic to maintain temperatures cool

enough to prevent underside melting of

snow.

41290CampMariaRoadLeonardtown,MD20650
Signs of a problem
If you experience any leaks from
the ceiling or notice water coming down
walls, a roof leak from excess snow or ice
dams may be the culprit. Snow that is too
heavy may create cracks in plaster and
drywall and cause sagging that affects the
framework of interior doorways. If you
hear creaking or popping sounds, immediately exit the house, as these are strong
indicators of an imminent collapse.

Clearing the roof

The Better Business Bureau warns
against going up on the roof if you cannot
safely remove the snow with an ice rake
or similar tool. You should not jeopardize
your health by trying to remove snow and
ice.
Confirm that contractors who remove snow have current liability and
worker's compensation insurance before
hiring them. Contractors will charge anywhere from $60 to $300 per hour to remove snow from the roof. Always inquire
in advance as to what a fee covers.
Even after snow is removed, there's
no guarantee it will not accumulate again.
Keep in mind that some snow and ice removal remedies can invalidate the warranty on recently installed roof shingles.
This is something that must be weighed
before proceeding with snow removal.
Home insurance policies may or may
not cover the cost of snow removal and
damage. Call your insurance company
to find out what your policy covers. Keep
good records for the cost of all repairs to
see if you can be reimbursed.

From my Backyard to our Bay

A St. Marys County Residents Guide to Improving Our Environment and Drinking Water
From My Backyard
to Our Bay was first
developed by the Baltimore
County Soil Conservation
District. From there, the
booklet was given to each
of the Soil Conservation
Districts in the Chesapeake
Bay watershed area for
customization. If the 17.5
million residents who live in
the watershed area of the
Chesapeake Bay read this
booklet, and took to heart
its suggestions and best
practices, the Chesapeake
Bay would see a dramatic
increase in health. Obtain
a FREE copy of the
booklet by going to the St.
Marys River Watershed
Association, smrwa.org and
downloading it. The booklet
is available at Wentworth
Nursery in Charlotte Hall;
Chicken Scratch in Park
Hall; The Greenery in
Hollywood; Good Earth
Natural Food; and the St.
Marys Soil Conservation
District in Leonardtown.
Join your local watershed
association and make a
difference for Our Bay!

Forest Stewardship
Forest land is important to the overall
health of the Chesapeake Bay. Forests
provide several layers, from the canopy
to the forest floor, that act as filters,
improve water quality, reduce sedimentation, remove nutrients, and regulate
stream flow during storms.
Marylands 2.5 million acres of forest,
most of it privately owned, cover approximately 42% of its land area. St.
Marys Countys land area is about 50%
forested, and has more than 400 miles
of shoreline. Wooded buffers along
these shorelines are critical to improving Bay health. Acre for acre, forested
lands produced the least amount of runoff and pollution. The County occupies
a forest transitional zone, where the
dominant tree species vary from oak/
hickory to tulip poplar to sweet gum/red
maple and loblolly pine.
Forests can be harvested on a sustainable basis for materials, including
structural lumber, crates, shelving
and furniture, flooring, mulch, and
pulp for paper. Forests can, in most
cases, provide these products while
Plant a Tree
County residents with questions about

woodland stewardship and management, as well as timber harvesting,
