Two Fires
Within 24 Hours
By Lauren Procopio
Staff Writer
On Wednesday Nov. 19 at 11:49 p.m., a blaze erupted at 38180 Beach Road in
Coltons Point, causing $90,000 in damage to the one-story single family home.
According to the Office of the State Fire Marshal, the owners were identified as
Ernest and Agnes Friess.
40 firefighters from the 7th District, Leonardtown, Mechanicsville and Hollywood Volunteer Fire Departments responded to the blaze, which was discovered by
a neighbor.
The fire originated in the interior of the garage and subsequently spread to the
vehicles a Ford Crown Victoria and a Ford F150 and the dwelling itself.
The blaze was brought under control in 15 minutes and a smoke alarm was present in the home, according to the Office of the State Fire Marshal.
According to Deputy Fire Marshal McMahon, who responded to the scene, the
preliminary cause of the fire remains under investigation and anyone with information
pertaining to this incident is encouraged to call the Office of the State Fire Marshal,
Southern Region, at 443-550-6831.
Less than 24 hours later, on Thursday Nov. 20 at 3:48 a.m., five firefighters from
the Mechanicsville Volunteer Fire Department, responded to 30281 Gershwin Road
in Charlotte Hall.
A 1999 18 Sea Ray Boat caught fire to its interior console, which caused $10,000
in damage and completely destroyed the boat. According to the Office of the State Fire
Marshal, the owner of the boat was identified as Donald Long and a private ambulance
company, who alerted Long, reported the blaze.
According to McMahon, the fire still remains under investigation and anyone with
information is asked to contact the Office of the State Fire Marshal at 443-550-6831.

After Crime
Flare Up,
Westbury
Looks
for Solutions
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
In the space of about two months the
Westbury community in Lexington Park
experienced three shooting incidents,
one in particular where an unknown assailant walked up to a group of women
on a sidewalk, drew a gun and began firing at them.
One woman sustained a gunshot
wound, but it was not life threatening,
police said.
In the wake of violence, property
owners there quickly sought the help of
police and are now taking a more active
role in winning back their neighborhood,
said Nicole Timms, the communitys
property manager.
She said that since the neighborhood is bounded by Pegg Road and
Great Mills Road it is often used as a
shortcut by pedestrians who loiter in
the neighborhood and create a nuisance,
Timms said. Add to that a community
where neighbors were not really familiar
with each other and it was a recipe for
trouble.
Timms, retired from the U.S. Army,
said her home was built in 2007, but they
came back in 2012 after a stint in Washington, D.C. to find the neighborhood
had changed after people had moved out
and renters moved in.
Nobody knew anybody, Timms
said, adding the lack of familiarity with
who actually had business in the neighborhood contributed to the rash of crime.

Repeat Drunken
Driving Offender
Gets More Jail Time
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
Circuit Court Judge Karen Abrams sentenced a man to one year in jail suspended
down to 90 days for drunken driving, the
most jail time he had seen despite racking
up several convictions and numerous other
charges over nearly a decade.
Matthew Johnson, 33, of Lexington
Park, was found guilty of driving while impaired by a jury back in September.
Assistant States Attorney Jaymi Sterling said Johnson had numerous brushes
with the law, usually involving traffic violations related to alcohol, but had either been
found not guilty or had not been prosecuted.
I believe hes a danger to the community, Sterling said in court Monday. I
believe you [Abrams] need to protect the
community.

Sex Offender
Charged With
First-Degree Rape
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
County detectives have charged a
man registered as a sex offender in Calvert County with trying to rape a neighbor of his at gunpoint over the weekend.
Police say the incident occurred
Nov. 21 when David Leon Thomas went
to the address of his victim and asked
if he could use her cell phone. She invited him inside, charging documents
read, and when he followed her into her
kitchen he produced a handgun and held
it to her head.
He led her back to the living room
and told the victim to remove her clothes,
charging documents alleged, but when
she refused he put down his gun and
strangled her with his hands.
When the victim awoke she found
that her cell phone had been taken and
Thomas had left; she also told police she
couldnt feel the left side of her body

Martiranos Farewell
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
The farewell for former Schools Superintendent Michael J. Martirano was not paid
for using school system funds, according to
newly released documents from the county
school system, but instead was paid for by
three school board members, a public utility,
a local non-profit and a law firm.
The school system had originally released only dates, check numbers and
amounts of donations to pay for the party at
the James A. Forrest Career and Technology
Center in Leonardtown held on Sept. 10, but
did not reveal who the donors were.
The Sept. 12 invoice, written partially
by hand and partially on school system letterhead, stated the money came from donations received from community.
Records released Tuesday show that
three of the donations came from board
members Cathy Allen, Salvatore Raspa and
Brooke Matthews.
Allen donated $50, while Matthews and
Raspa both gave $250, according to copies
of the checks.
The Patuxent Partnership also donated $250, records show and the Southern
Maryland Electric Cooperative gave an additional $200. Pessin Katz Law, located in
Towson, donated the largest single amount
with $1,000.
Pessin Katz Law is the legal firm
that employs Edmund OMeally, Esq, the
Board of Educations attorney.
There was a seventh donation of
$500 in cash, but records on who paid that
amount were not clear.
The total bill for the farewell party
was $2,500.
Martirano was widely praised for
boosting achievement and graduation rates
in county schools over his nearly 10-years
of service but left under a cloud after it was
revealed the school system faced a nearly
$6 million deficit before the close out of
fiscal 2014 due in part to health care cost
overruns.

and between 8th and 11th for maximum salary depending upon the education degree and level of certification?
St. Marys County students generally perform
above average against other Maryland school districts
and Maryland students state-wide generally perform
above average against other states, so it would seem that
teacher salaries are right where they should be. More
money doesnt always equate to better education. The
District of Columbia pays their teachers more and spends
more per pupil than just about every other state, but they
consistently rank at the bottom for student performance.
Hopefully St. Marys College political science professor Susan Grogan has already taken her class to this
next level. If she hasnt, it would be a great opportunity
to show her students how reality and opinion often differ,
and how such divergence can impact elections.

St. Marys Caring is the non-profit that operates the Soup Kitchen in Lexington Park. Our Board would like to thank the community for their outpouring
of sympathy honoring the memory of our Director Dana McGarity. She worked
tirelessly and compassionately for 18 years as our leader to improve the wellbeing of members of our community. Dana will be missed by her loving family,

Short Reply
In the Nov. 20th edition of the County Times a letter caught my eye from
Ms. Barbara Hodges complaining about her neighbors and the fact that the Democrats were trounced in the last election. As I see it Ms. Hodges when you associate yourself with a political party that is all for the murder of the innocent
unborn and even expects the taxpayer to pay for such murders, you are on the
wrong side of the political spectrum and may need to rethink your position. Otherwise, be prepared to take what comes.

Its that time of year again! Leonardtowns Christmas on the Square and Annual
Tree Lighting will be held Friday Nov. 28
from 5 to 9 p.m. The Leonardtown Volunteer Fire Department has sponsored the event
since 1932, according to Leonardtown Volunteer Firefighter Kevin Mattingly, who has
been with the department for 27 years and has
helped with the event every year since then.
According to Mattingly, the Annual Tree
Lighting is a tradition that goes back as far as
1933.
The first tree came from John Ralph
Abells farm, according to Dale Cropper, and
the power came from Nuttrells Store. People
came from all over the county to see it.
The fire department now displays an artificial tree due to the difficulty of finding a
tree large enough to satisfy the needs of the
event and also to preserve mature, living trees
as well.
While the tradition of the large tree display in the town began over 80 years ago, the
Christmas on the Square seen today began in
1997, according to Public Relations and Event
Coordinator Maria Fleming.
Christmas on the Square would not be
possible without the hard work from all the
volunteers.
Leonardtown Wildcats Cheerleaders, St. Maries Musica and a return visit from Gracies
Guys and Gals Dance Troupe.
After the annual tree lightning at 7 p.m.,
the holiday entertainment continues inside
the Leonardtown Church of the Nazarene
with performances by local dancers, professional jazz musicians, pianist Joe Holt and
vocalist Beth McDonald.
Fleming also added, along with the
concert inside the church, the Leonardtown
Church of the Nazarene would also host the
live nativity.
The Christmas Festival, which is sponsored by the Leonardtown Volunteer Rescue
Squad, located inside Winegardner Automotives will showcase decorated trees and
wreaths, as well as an electric train display.
Guests can also participate in a silent auction
and sign up for a chance to win a wagon full

of toys worth over $500. Winegardner Automotives is also participating in Toys for Tots;
attendees who want to give back can do so by
bringing in a new, unwrapped toy to donate!
The press release also stated guests can
enjoy one of the many rides and travel around
the Historical Part of Town, including Tudor
Hall, The Old Jail Museum and the Historic
Courthouse Building. Enjoy time away from
the crowds with luminaries, Christmas carolers and live-action vignettes.
With all the activities to participate in at
the event, Fleming said guests favorite part
of the event is when Santa Claus lights the
tree. She said when Santa performs the annual tree lightning at 7 p.m. the large crowd
begins to dissipate.
Mattingly said his favorite moments at
Christmas on the Square is when Santa gets
a fire engine escort into town to light the tree
and the look on childrens faces when they see
Santa for the first time.
I love it. Its chaotic, but its so popular
and everybody just loves it. Its small town,
its Americana and people want to be involved
in it. It makes people happier to live here and
to be a part of the town, Fleming said.
Not only does the event spread holiday
spirit, but it has economic benefits as well.
The stores and restaurants do very well
this time of year people come in for Black
Friday, eat dinner and stay for Christmas on
the Square. We hope they see something they
like and buy it that night, or come back the
following day for small business Saturday,
Fleming said.
I think people get a chance to see that
Leonardtown is a great place to live and work.
We hope they come back to shop, or even buy
a house here, which helps the Towns revenue,
as well, so we can continue to offer events like
this for free to the public, she continued.
The Town of Leonardtown offers unique
shops and gift ideas for the holiday season,
such as painting classes, cooking lessons,
handmade items, jewelry, accessories, home
dcor, books and a variety of food.
Along with the Leonardtown Volunteer
Fire Department, The Leonardtown Business
Association and the Commissioners of Leonardtown sponsor the event as well.
According to the press release, financial
contributions were provided by, Two Guys
Collision Center, Winegardner Automotive,
Quality Built Homes, MedStar St. Marys
Hospital, PNC Bank, Marrick Homes, College of Southern Maryland and Olde Towne
Burris Insurance.
Parking for the event will be available at
St. Marys Ryken High School, Leonardtown
Elementary School, the College of Southern
Maryland and other lots around town. The
College of Southern Maryland will also provide a free shuttle from its parking lot.
The rain date for the event will be held
Saturday Nov. 29 at 7 p.m.

most popular shows,
much
less
their
broadcast network.
The last episode of Survivor that
I watched was the finaleof season
one. The next time I watch Dancing With The Stars, The Voice or
American Idol will be the first time.
This unintended phenomenon
started in the early 2000s, about the
time Taps played for sitcoms and reality T.V. went viral. The reason for
my network television divorce is, as
of yet, undiagnosed. My wife gets a
hoot out of it; her dismissive chuckles scream weirdo. It confounds
and frustrates my daughter; I sense
a growing concern that her decidedly
un-cool father will inevitably cause
horrific social embarrassment. Am
I wrong to proudly anticipate that
moment?
What I do enjoy watching (besides sports, of course) are shows such
as American Pickers, American
Restoration and Down East Dickering on The History Channel and
Deadliest Catch and Moonshiners on Discovery Channel. Why?
Well, I like antiques, resurrecting battered classics, bartering, fishing and
homemade adult beverages. I guess
one could interpret it as an ode to my
Southern Maryland roots.
Theres something else about
these programs, though, something
more appealing than just an alignment with my interests. They have
an element of unpredictable chaos
that the cast always overcomes. The
pickers sometimes stumble on dud
leads and have to wing it. The dickerers live week-to-week and creatively
manufacture value and cash out of
little to nothing. The guys on American Restoration fix old, dilapidated
stuffenough said. The Deadliest
Catchs crabbers manage unpredictable weather and finicky crustaceans.
And the moonshiners produce product
in homemade stills deep in the Appalachian Mountains while evading the
law. Nothing is neat or as it should be
- but they all make it work. They expect the unexpected, adapt and press
forward.
I love that about those shows the
human resolve. Which is to say I love
the New England Patriots.
Wait. What? I hate the Patriots:
smug Tom Brady with his rings and

The theme of the gala this year was Wrapped In Red, and featured Asian-inspired themes and

In Our
Sotterley Unveils New Signage Community
and Extends Season
Nov. 1 - Dec. 20
Saturday Hours:10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Sunday Hours: 11:45 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Each year as the end of October approaches, we begin preparing for the end of the guided
tour season and the closing of our Visitor Center. This year, however, we are pleased to announce
that our Visitor Center will remain open every weekend through Saturday, December 20, 2014
(with the exception of Thanksgiving weekend), and this will enhance the experience of all visitors coming to Sotterley.
Once checked in at the Visitor Center, guests will be invited to view our introductory film
and shop for unique gifts at the Sotterley Museum Shop. They can also take our fascinating SelfGuided Audio Tour, hike the over six miles of Nature Trails, stroll the Colonial Revival Gardens,
and check out the NEW exhibit panels displayed throughout the grounds while being guided by
our new site brochure.
Sixteen panels have been installed on site to engage, inform, and direct viewers through our
rich history, telling the stories of the people who lived and worked at Sotterley over three centuries. The panels combine text and images that bring to life the experiences of owners, servants,
workers and members of the enslaved community. Many panels have interactive components
designed especially for children, in which a question is posed, and part of the panel moves or
changes to reveal the answer. Some panels also feature textured objects that help visitors learn
about crops, textiles, and materials and equipment used during Sotterleys many years as a working farm.
Sheila Gibbons Hiebert of Communication Research
Associates, Inc. in Coltons Point, researched the historical
content and wrote the text that appears on the panels and
worked on our new brochure. She worked closely with Sotterley Education Director Jeanne Pirtle, an impeccable source
of Sotterley history, who chose the images for the panels, and
with St. Marys College Professor Emerita Merideth Taylor,
chair of Sotterleys Interpretation Committee. The signs were
fabricated by exhibits specialist Dennis Kund. The signage
project was funded in part by a grant from the Maryland Heritage Areas Authority.
The new site exhibits have enhanced the Sotterley experience and we wanted to give the public more opportunities to come and be re-introduced to
the site, stated Nancy Easterling, Executive Director of Historic Sotterley, Inc. Our dedicated
volunteers are also making it possible for us to extend the season by their willingness to man the
Visitor Center every weekend and we couldnt be more grateful!

June or the beginning of July he was at Jacob Morelands store [near todays Benedict]. Also present was
Col. Henry Jowles and a Mr. Askey. Everybody was
friendly and enjoying a drink or two. Col. Jowles asked
if he could have a word with Mr. Keech in private so
they went outside. Jowles asked Keech if he and Mr.
Bell had told Mr. Tench that Jowles had gone to Mattapony. Keech replied indeed I never opened my mouth
to Esq. Tench. Keech thought Jowles was satisfied
with his answer, but when Jowles came back inside he
called Mr. Tench a pitiful fellow. Then Jowles said
Mr. Blakiston by God there is another pitiful fellowhow many letters have I to show from him, but
God damn them, he would keep them to wipe his arse.
Keech replied If I were you I would keep them and
show them to Col. Blackiston. Jowles response was It
will not be long before we see the best part of those
now in power turned out. Jowles then said Keech, I
have one more question to ask youwhat reason did
you have to drink to Col. Clarks health in a way to deride me? Keech responded I did not do that and my
Chronicle
wife is here and will tell you to your face that I didnt.
Jowles called Keech a pitiful shittin puppy dog and
shook his fist at him.
Keech, believing he was going to be assaulted,
struck Jowles who began cussing so Keech hit him
two blows in the face again. Jowles said he would fight
Keech with swords, but Keech said he didnt have his
sword with him. Jowles then asked Mr. Askey tell
me, who gave the abuses here. Mr. Askey said to him,
you abused Keech. Col. Jowles said to Mr. Askey
God damn you, you pitiful shittin dog. At this point
Mr. Askey left for home as did Mr. Keech and his wife
[Elizabeth Courts, 1663-1730, daughter of John and
Margaret Courts of Charles County].
