Agriculture Development
Commission Promotes Agricultural
Business Park and Food Innovation Center
By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
Representatives from the
Southern Maryland Agricultural Development Commission
(SMADC) spoke to the Calvert
Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) at their April 28
meeting about forming an Agricultural Business Park and
Food Innovation Center to serve
Anne Arundel, Calvert, Charles,
Prince Georges and St. Marys
counties.
According to documents
available at the BOCC meeting
SMADC was created in 1999
to transition the farm communities of County region away from
a tobacco-based economy,
to which purpose Maryland
pledged up to five percent of the
Cigarette Restitution Fund to
be channeled through the TriCounty Council for Southern
Maryland.
The center is the scaling-up
step for these efforts. SMADC

has a diverse membership of agricultural leaders from the fivecounty region, including elected
officials, farm business representatives and full time farmers,
who are charged with guiding
programs and making recommendations to keep agriculture
profitable and create opportunities for the next generation of
farmers.
The center is intended to
benefit the farmers in all five
counties by enhancing farmers
profitability, enabling entry to
new markets, increasing the regions capacity to meet consumer demand for locally produced
foods, expanding and revitalizing the farming community, and
creating new jobs for the region.

New Bridge Remains Legislative Focus

The recently concluded session saw a number of changes in
personnel, with several new delegates and senators participating
in their first legislative session.
Present at the breakfast were
Senate President Thomas V.
Mike Miller and delegates Tony
ODonnell and Mark Fisher.
Miller said he would give the
session a B grade, adding that
legislators did as well as possible working together.
I think all in all it was a very
good session, he said.
A number of questions asked
at the Chamber of Commerce
legislative breakfast concerned
bills that didnt pass but would
have been unfriendly to small
and medium-sized businesses.
This is nonsensical, Miller
said. These bills all died. Nobody supported them.
Another focus of the morning was funding for the Governor Thomas Johnson Bridge.
The new bridge is planned to
be built south of the existing
bridge, according to ODonnell.
When asked about his stance

against increasing the gas tax
and whether he believes it will
have an impact on the bridge,
he said yes, I voted against
the gas tax, proudly, and Im
still going to get the bridge
built.
ODonnell praised the governor and legislature for making strides toward eliminating
the deficit. He said during his
campaign that Maryland needed a course correction and he
saw some progress during the
session.
The continual raiding for
money from the transportation trust fund has stopped,
he said.
The transportation funds
will be split more fairly moving forward. Funding for one
of the large-scale mass transportation projects, specifically the red and purple Metro
lines, will be pulled, which
should free up some funding
that can go toward the bridge
replacement, ODonnell said.

Tri-County Speaker
Addresses Economic Future
By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
The Tri-County Council for
Southern Maryland welcomed
Maryland Secretary of Business and Economic Development R. Michael Gill to speak
about the economic situation in
the state moving forward at the
Tri-County Council meeting at
Sotterley Plantation on April
23.
Im loving everything in
this new position, Gill said.
He took note of the economic opportunities in Southern
Maryland, calling Naval Air
Station Patuxent River an economic catalyst. He praised the
College of Southern Maryland
for doing good work with youth
in the area, and thanked the college for its efforts to support
and promote students that will
become employees in future
businesses.
We have to be more competitive, Gill said, adding that
if nothing is done to get the
economy rocking and rolling
then there will be no funds for
planned development projects.
Local News
You see things happening, but you dont think about

it when youre on the outside
looking in, Gill said.
Moving forward, customer
service will be a priority. This
includes customer service on
the part of Maryland-based
businesses and on the part of
the state on hopes of attracting
new business. The state needs
to ask businesses what support they need, Gill said, and
he suspects the answers will
deal with the number of regulations imposed and how they are
implemented.
Economic development is a
team sport, Gill said.
Boosting the economy in the
future will require a lot of work.
Success is not doing one
thing 1,000 percent better but
doing 1,000 things one percent
better, Gill said.

Police Officers Help Deliver Baby
is pleased to present the
7th Annual Calvert

Dfc. Locke cleaned baby Aidens mouth and
nose to insure a clean airway as Dfc. Locke
held him on his side. Dfc. Locke also rubbed
his back and chest to stimulate him and cause
him to cry, which he did. While treating baby
Aiden and Mrs. Gardiner, Dfc. Locke requested for Sgt. Hollinger to retrieve his medical bag from my patrol vehicle and he was
able to provide Dfc. Locke with some of the
necessary medical equipment that he needed.
A short time later, Dena Marseglia arrived
on the scene. She advised that she was a Labor and Delivery Nurse at Civista Hospital,
as well as an EMS provider with the Huntingtown Volunteer Fire and EMS Department,
Company 6. She happened to be in the area
when she heard the call over her scanner. She
had the proper medical equipment necessary
for clamping the umbilical cord, which she
provided Dfc. Locke with, and he promptly
did. At Dfc. Lockes suggestion, the cord was
cut by Mr. Gardiner. Ms. Marseglia then assisted Dfc. Locke with the care of Mrs. Gardiner by delivering the placenta and assessed
Mrs. Gardiner and Baby Aiden. An ambulance from Prince Frederick Rescue Squad,
Company 4, later arrived and transported
Mrs. Gardiner and baby Aiden safely to Calvert Memorial Hospital.

Lusby Man
Pleads Guilty
to Heroin Charge
By Lauren Procopio
Staff Writer
A Lusby man pled guilty to
distributing heroin that resulted
in the death of a St. Leonard
man.
Russell Johnson, 23, was indicted by a federal grand jury on
Sept. 29, 2014 to the charges of
drug distribution, including one
count of distribution of heroin
resulting in death.
According to a press release
provided by the United States
Attorneys Office for the District
of Maryland, Johnson accepted
the plea deal from the state on
April 21 in Greenbelt.
According to Johnsons plea
agreement, on July 18, 2013,
around 4:38 p.m., Jacob Paddy
contacted Johnson to purchase
heroin; the victim contacted
Johnson again later that night,
around 10:17 p.m., to purchase
more heroin; both purchases

took place in St. Leonard.
According to the plea agreement, the victim ingested the
heroin in the bathroom of his
residence and shortly after died
from the intake. The Office of
the Chief Medical Examiner for
the State of Maryland confirmed
the victims death was caused by
the heroin that Johnson had sold
to him.
If the court accepts the plea
agreement, Johnson has sentencing guidelines of 10 to 12
years in prison; the charge carries a sentence of 20 years to life
in prison.
According to the release, U.S
District Judge Paul W. Grimm
will sentence Johnson on June

CDS Violation Case #15-22134:
On April 22 at 11:09
a.m. Dep. S. Moran was
on patrol in the area of
Thunderbird Drive in
Lusby when he observed
a vehicle operating
faster than the posted
Dibble
speed limit. He saw
the vehicle then travel
into the opposite lane,
nearly striking an oncoming passenger
car, which had to pull onto the shoulder
to avoid being hit. Moran conducted a
traffic stop and approached the offending vehicle driver, later identified as
Leah Meredith Dibble, 41, of Lusby.
Moran detected a strong odor of alcohol
and Dibble had red, bloodshot eyes and
slurred speech. After administering
field sobriety tests, Dibble was determined to be driving under the influence
of alcohol. Dibble attempted to flee to
avoid arrest but was subdued and arrested. A search incident to arrest revealed suspected drug supplies. Dibble
was charged with possession with intent
to use drug paraphernalia; a Suboxone
wrapper, resisting arrest, DUI, reckless
driving, and other traffic violations.

True Story: A newly appointed director of
a large governmental agency tells the leadership team they need to change the way they
run their organizations. Months later, the respective department leadership presents to
the Director a new organizational structure.
Wrong answer says the Director. I told you
to change the way you run your organization,
not simply reorganize them.
This was not just a cultural change; it was
a change of ethos; defined by the Director as
greater than culture. Ethos should promote
respect and positive attitudes towards learning, life and work. Years later, that newly reconstituted agency conducts itself in a new
way: less bureaucratic, more focused upon
the core mission, restructured based upon
its primary functions and services. End of
Story.
Sayings go that the Only Constant is
Change. Change is often a theme candidates
bring as a reason to be elected. Change can
be good, bad, and even cosmetic; but for sure
change is one of those things constantly associated with life. One who can master and
guide that change will benefit.
Last year, one candidate for Governor,
Larry Hogan was elected on a theme of
Change Maryland. While many individuals
had their perception of what would actually
change, time will only tell for sure what, if
any, change actually occurs.
The Governors inauguration speech articulated four goals to implement his vision
of change: Fiscal Responsibility, Economic
Growth, Reform, and Fairness.
Lofty, but these goals could be thought of
as tools the Governor plans to use to affect
his real emphasis: to change from wedge
politics and petty issues to one that creates

tone in Annapolis.
Slaughenhoupt Jr. (R)
Many newly elected
State Senators and Delegates commented during this session that the
cooperation across political party lines was
much easier than they envisioned it would be.
More senior legislators and staff commented
that this session was the smoothest they have
experienced. While not every initiative that
the Governor offered for consideration was
adopted, some progress on some of his goals
did appear.
Meanwhile, the first state legislative session under this new Governor ended. Governor Hogan said it best speaking about
bipartisanship. Were not here to agree on
everything. I was elected with a mandate to
bring about real change in state government,
and its difficult after years and years of doing things the same way to break bad habits.
For Calvert County, we will see who this
affects us. Bottom line though (so far) is that
the theme of Change Maryland is underway, the improvement in the tone of Annapolis. Its only a start, one that is not bad
for a few months work. Time will tell if it
will last.

Guffrie Smith Jr.: A Leader In Our Community
By Lauren Procopio
Staff Writer
Calvert County resident for over 50

years, Guffrie Smith Jr. has been
helping kids all his life.
Smith is the oldest of 17 children and
was the first person in his family to go to
college; he is a Bowie State alumnus, earning his undergraduate and Masters degree
from the university.
Being the oldest, you had a lot of responsibilities. Everybody called me Smitty and said Smitty, youre going to college, so you live up to your expectations,
he said.
Smitty has lived up to those expectations, with his impressive resume as proof.
He began his career in education as a
fourth and fifth grade teacher at Appeal
Elementary School in 1964. During his career, Smith held various positions in the education system, ranging from principal to
various positions with the Maryland State
Department of Education.
Smith officially retired in 2004 and is
currently the president of the Collaborative for Children and Youth, Inc. formerly
known as the Calvert Crusade for Children.
Smith said securing a community center and recreational facility for the Prince
Frederick Town Center is the organizations number one priority and stated there
is no type of center in the central part of
the county.
We have a group, Core Collaborative
Group, some leaders from different groups
in the county education; hospital; health
department when that group looked at
priorities, the community center was right
at the top, Smith said. We have a real
strong advocacy and research team and this
is one of the things we are advocating for.
Were getting good support.
Smith remains hopeful that the county
commissioners will agree to build and budget for a community center for the county
seat.

Calvert Collaborative for Children & Youth, Inc. working with the Youth of Calvert County
They can see there are things in the

northern part and the southern part, and
theyve been left out here, he said.
I feel that all the commissioners are
for it and its a long process, but I feel that
were going to get it. Its just taking a while,
I dont know in what form, but theyre really supportive of it.
Guffrie Smith, Jr.

President of Calvert Collaborative for Children & Youth, Inc.
Smith said a logical location for the

center would be the former SMECO building; he said in the future he would hope to
have a center similar to the one in Chesapeake Beach.
Smith cited from Search Institute (SI), a
nonprofit organization that advocates for
young people, and said the organization listed 40 development assets that youths need in
order to succeed. According to SI, creative
activities are always the lowest on the list.
They lack creative activities and when
you have these [community centers], the
kids dont have a chance to misbehave
the smoking, the drinking and its a nice
place to hang out [and] also a safe place to
hang out, he said.
Smith said he would like to see the center equipped with a gym, outdoor activities, games, computer labs, and especially
meeting spaces. Smith said organizations,
like the Girl Scouts, need a more suitable
place to have their meetings.

We could bring in other services this
would be a central place. Theyre so scattered at this time and one of the things we
need the most is meeting space. Theres a
great need for a meeting space in the center
of the county here.
While the organization is an advocate
for youth, Smith said the community center
would be for the whole county, not just the
children.
Ive been rallying the public and testifying. Were looking at how we can get different groups in the county, the faith-based
group; the business group; and others, to
work together to encourage the commissioners to do this.

Collaborative for Children and Youth visit

funded at Maintenance of Effort (MOE)

that the figure given to CCPS in February, according to Superintendent Daniel

Dont Frack Maryland

Campaign Calls on
Governor Hogan to Sign
Fracking Moratorium
On Tuesday, April 28, the second of three official bill signing days in Maryland, Maryland residents assembled outside of the Maryland State
House to call on Governor Hogan to sign a fracking moratorium into law. The residents and Dont
Frack Maryland Campaign will also be delivering stacks of handwritten letters from Marylanders across the state.
This past session of the Maryland General Assembly passed the bill placing a two and a half
year moratorium on fracking in the state (HB
449/SB409), with veto-proof majorities in each
house. Governor Hogan has yet to sign the bill
into law. The Dont Frack Maryland campaign,
which continues to build support across the state,
will keep ramping up pressure on Gov. Hogan to
sign the moratorium bill ahead of the final official
signing on May 12.
17
What: Maryland residents delivering handwritten letters from across the state, urging the
Governor to sign the bill to keep fracking out of
Maryland for two and a half years.
Who: Dont Frack Maryland a coalition of
businesses, health professionals, environmental,
advocacy and faith groups from across Maryland
and the United States committed to passing a
moratorium on fracking in Maryland.
When: Tuesday, April 28, 2015 @ 9:30 a.m.
Where: Outside of the Maryland State House
(between Lawyers Mall and the House Building)
Visuals: Concerned Marylanders holding signs
and banners; stacks of handwritten letters to be
delivered to Hogan outside of bill signing

Spence drove an inspired race to take top-honors
in last Friday nights 30-lap Late Model feature at
Potomac Speedway. The win for Spence, aboard
his Greg Gunter owned Rocket no.91, was his
second-career Potomac Late Model win and was
worth a cool $2500 pay day.
Kyle Lear and JT Spence lined-up on the
front-row for the start with Lear gaining control as the field raced into turn-one. As Lear
lead, Stevie Long settled into second and set
his sights on the leader. Longs undoing would
come on lap-12 as he was forced to pit,putting
JT Spence on Lears back bumper. Spence
hounded Lear for several laps until he slid by to
become the new pace setter on the 20th-circuit.
Spence would go on to lead the final 10-laps
but would have to repel a furious late-race rush
from eventual runner-up Jason Covert to preserve the win. Id like to dedicate this win to
Rodney Franklin. An emotional Spence stated
in Potomacs victory lane. He was a very good
friend of our family and to win this race here
tonight means an awful lot. Patience and a
well prepared race car propelled Spence to victory. This win goes to the guys who work on
this car. Said Spence. I think Stevie (Long)
had the car to beat tonight, but I have to give my
guys a lot of credit for all their hard work, I get
the easy part of driving it and Im glad to get a
win for all of them. Lear would settle for third,
Amanda Whaley was solid in fourth with 9thstarting Roy Deese Jr.rounding out the top-five.
Heats went to Spence and Stevie Long.
Youthful Logan Roberson drove to his firstcareer Potomac feature win in the 20-lap RUSH
Crate Late Model main. Defending track champion Ben Bowie snared the race lead at the start
with Roberson sliding into second on lap-3.
Roberson would follow Bowie for two more
circuits before taking the race lead, for good, on
the 6th-lap. Bowie would chase Roberson over
the final 14-laps but was unable to make the pass
as Roberson streaked under the checkered flag.
All the credit goes to my mom and dad. Roberson stated. I didnt get out of school until 3:00
and when I got home the car was loaded and we
made the 3-hour tow up here and to get a win is
awesome. Jamie Sutphin took third, 8th-starting Darren Alvey was fourth with Jeff Pilkerton
completing the top-five. Heats went to Sutphin
and Roberson.
Ed Pope Jr. took his second win of the
season in the 15-lap Hobby Stock feature.
Pope,who lined-up second for the start,
grabbed the lead on the first lap and would

drive off to a relatively easy win. Jerry Deason, for the second race in a row,was second
with John Burch, Greg Morgan and Tommy
Wagner Jr. finishing in the top-five.
Mike Franklin also became a repeat winner
with his win in the 16-lap Street Stock feature.
Franklin lead the first four-laps before Chuck
Bowie took control. Franklin would take
the lead back on the 11th-circuit and holdoff Bowie for the win,his 6th overall feature
score of 2015. Jonny Oliver was third, Dale
Reamy fourth with Lloyd Deans completing
the top-five.
Corey Swaim collected his first feature
win of 2015 in the 15-lap U-Car main. Mikey
Latham lead the first four-laps before Swaim
swept by to take the race lead and eventual
win. Jeremy Pilkerton was second with Cody
Wathen, DJ Powell and Sam Raley completing the top-five.
There is a long history between

sports and the nations presidents. In
1910, William Howard Taft threw out
the first presidential first pitch on
opening day of the baseball season.
Every U.S. president since, with the
exception of Jimmy Carter, has followed in Tafts enormous shadow.
And while it wasnt opening day, the
most consequential presidential fastball occurred when George W. Bush,
just weeks after 9/11, threw a strike
from the Yankee Stadium mound
before Game 3 of the 2001 World
Series.
Other sports share a White House
connection too. President Obama,
who is a huge basketball fan, annually completes a March Madness
bracket. Football owes its very existence, in part, to Teddy Roosevelt.
As a proponent of physical athletic
confrontation, Roosevelt advanced
game-saving rule changes to curb an
alarming number of on-field fatalities. Gerald Ford was an All-American offensive lineman for Michigan
in the 1930s. And it was a common
love of football that prompted an
unimaginable private chat between
Richard Nixon and raging liberal
journalist (and Nixon hater) Hunter
S. Thompson during the 1968 presidential campaign.
Ronald Reagan gets the primary
credit for the presidential tradition
of hosting sports champions. I have
fond memories of The Gipper hitting
Ricky Sanders on a crossing route
on the White House lawn literally
- after the Skins won Super Bowl
XXII. Four successors and three decades later, champions still visit 1600
Pennsylvania Avenue regularly.
But all is not well. Athletes have
occasionally left the president hanging. Michael Jordan cited a schedule
conflict in 1991 when he no-showed
on George H. W. Bush. In 1997, Packers TE Mark Chmura, a guy once
charged with sexually assaulting a
17-year-old girl at a high school party
(when he was in his 30s), passed on
Green Bays visit with Bill Clinton
because of his moral disgust with the
president in the wake of the Monica
Lewinsky scandal.
No matter. These were one-offs.
Anomalies. There was no trend of
athletes stiffing the highest office in
By Doug Watson

our land until recently. The White

House snub is now commonplace.
Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James
Harrison blew off Bush in 2006 and
Obama in 2009. Boston Bruins Goalie Tim Thomas bailed on Obama in
2012. St. Louis Cardinals manager
Tony LaRussa and star Albert Pujols
declined Obamas invitation in 2012.
Baltimore Ravens center Matt Birk
and three members of the undefeated
1972 Dolphins team Jim Langer,
Manny Fernandez and Bob Kuechenberg cited political reasons for
their White House absences last year.
At least they were honest, I suppose.
Add New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady to the growing
list of presidential rejecters. Brady
used the tired and lame schedule
conflicts line to excuse himself from
the Patriots recent visit with President Obama. Sure Tom. Non-specific
scheduling conflicts and family obligations. Got it. Sounds similar to
Bradys insulting the public is so
dumb theyll buy anything bull he
offered in response to deflategate.
The evidence is clear: it is now
routine for self-absorbed athletes
who get a White House invitation for
playing a game a game to disrespect our nations highest office. It is
beyond their meager ability to bite
their political tongues and participate
in an apolitical, celebratory event.
Tom Brady might be a Patriot, but
dont mistake him or any of his fellow White House boycotters for patriots my opinion.
This overtly rude political behavior has coincided with debilitating
partisanship a sad situation created by both parties - in Washington.
Whats the cart and whats the horse?
No matter. It seems a Democratic
or Republican label now trumps
our common identity as Americans.
Discord is fundamental to a representative government, but for that
discord to yield national benefit, active listening, mutual respect and an
understanding that political gains are
realized through commensurate political gives is required. Otherwise,
its just arguing for arguings sake.
In that case, why even bother to show
up and attempt to govern? In other
words, why act differently from Tom
Brady, et al.
Brady and his boycotters stiffed
the White House to express some
sort of political disgust and to promote change. Ironically, they have
the exact government they created
and deserve.

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,
should contact a certified forester. The
State of Maryland maintains a database

are closely monitored by a partnership
of agencies, including St. Marys Soil
Conservation District and St. Marys
County Department of Land Use and
Growth Management.
Go to trees.maryland.gov for information on planting trees. There is a Recommended Tree List for the program
Marylanders Plant Trees. There is a
$25.00 coupon on the website for purchasing a tree. However, the tree must
be on the eligible list of trees. There are
14 small trees, or 29 large trees on the
list that is updated periodically.
