COUNTYNEWSThe County TimesWednesday, July 3, 2013 4Historic CommissionConcerned Over New Grave FindsBy Guy LeonardStaff WriterFor six years now the county’s Historic PreservationCommission has worked to catalogue all the public and privategravesites in St. Mary’s for posterity but their work hasuncovered many more sites than they had originally believedexisted.So many they are that one member who recently leftthe group said development could endanger the burial plotswithout their builders even knowing it.Robert Gibbs said the work of the St. Mary’s CountyCemetery Project had found 86 sites back in 2007 but nowthat number stands at 198 sites that are either public or privateor catalogued but without knowledge of exactly wherethey are.“And we’ve got some really strange private ones likeSt. Mary’s Slavic” that sits next to a maintenance buildingon the campus of St. Mary’s College of Maryland, he said.The project’s current database resides throughout thecounty’s public libraries, Gibbs said, and the commission isasking residents who may have old journal entries, articles orfamily bibles with information about gravesites not includedin the database to come forward with the information.“Development does threaten the historic character ofthis county,” Gibbs said.The possibility that more than 198 gravesites existslocally is strong given that the county’s history goes backalmost 400 years and the archaeological records show thatinhabitants were here over a 10,000 year period.Photo By Guy LeonardGravesites like this one at the San Souci Shopping Center are thekind the county’s historic preservationists want information on forcataloguing.The dates for the cemeteries found by the project datefrom the 1650’s with a majority of them started in the 19thcentury with the last permit for a cemetery was issued in1989 to a local family.Finding the cemeteries has presented some difficultiessince some non-Catholic cemeteries have smaller plots,shorter histories “and many have disappeared from publicnotice,” according to preservation commission documents.guyleonard@countytimes.netBy Guy LeonardStaff WriterInmateAttemptsSuicideSheriff’s officials say that an inmate at the adultdetention center tried to commit suicide Sunday byhanging himself.Corrections officers found the 19-year-old inmatehanging inside his cell at about 1:30 a.m. during a routineinmate check, according to the Bureau of CriminalInvestigations (BCI).Lt. David Yingling, vice commander of BCI, saidthe inmate was in serious condition.“He’s not in good condition,” Yingling said. “Hisprognosis at this time is not known.”Law officers are not releasing the inmate’s name,as he is an attempted suicide victim.The inmate had less then one-half hour to makehis suicide attempt as correctional officers make theirrounds to check on inmates at least twice each hour,Yingling said.When officers found the inmate he was unresponsiveand they tried to resuscitate him immediately.The inmate was transported to a hospital where hecontinues to be treated, police said.guyleonard@countytimes.netTest Your IQ**Imagination Quotienta one day Workshopwith Ingrid SwannSaturday, July 6, 201310AM - 3PM (1 hour lunch)at theLeonardtown Art CenterClass size: 12 participants.

He isalso a U.S. Navy veteran who served in thereserve medical corp.He also currently serves as the presidentof the St. Mary’s County Historical Society.Roache’s term will be up July 1, 2018.guyleonard@countytimes.netParents, School System StruggleOver Autistic Child’s FutureBy Guy LeonardStaff WriterA Dameron couple are facing possible fines and jail time forthe failure of their son to attend school regularly this year but theysay their son, who is autistic, is afraid to go to school because he isafraid of his teachers and what may happen to him in the learningenvironment.Rita and Gregory Weaver face a hearing Oct. 7 before the InteragencyCommittee on School Attendance (ICSA) to determine whatpenalties, if any, they face according to a June 25 letter sent to themby Charles Ridgell, III, director of the county public schools’ Departmentof Student Services.Their son has only been to school 29 days this year, Rita said.Both of the Weavers attended a June 24 ICSA meeting in whichthey laid out the case for why their son is fearful of going to school.Rita told The County Times that her son’s time in school hasbeen difficult from the start of his student career in Piney Point andBanneker elementary schools all the way up to his time in middleschool now.The school system has offered to send their son to The HarbourSchool in Annapolis but the Weavers have rejected that as being toofar out of the way for their son to go.They have also rejected the home hospital teacher the schoolsystem wanted to send to their home.“He has nowhere to go,” Rita said. “The mission of the schoolsystem is to make kids ready to access either college or a career.“He’s not going to be ready for anything other than a disabilitycheck.”Rita pointed to several incidents in her son’s elementary schooltime where he began to act out in class but, she claimed, was restrainedimproperly.These types of incidents instilled a fear of school in her son shesaid.A copy of a physical restraint report for her son back in 2008when he was in second grade showed he started to beat on a door andthen on teachers when they tried to intervene.Three teachers restrained him, the report stated, but Rita haddoubts that they followed the proper procedures.State regulations require that administrators document howlong the restraining process lasted; the report reads “it lasted until…was calm and needed to rest.”State regulations allow only 30 minutes of restraint at a time,Weaver claimed.Another incident that happened just days later five years ago hadteachers restrain Rita’s son for “about an hour,” the school systemreport showed, before Rita’s son stopped resisting.Her son’s individualized education plans (IEPs) note thatthroughout his student career he complained of being overwhelmedby changes in either classroom structure even who was driving hisschool bus.Rita said her son has been diagnosed with chronic anxiety alongwith autism, which makes him so fearful he refuses to go to school.The Weavers said they would not force their son to go to schoolbecause they feared it would make his behavioral condition worse.“He needs more time [to complete tasks]… he can’t handle aload of change,” Rita said.But records from the school system show that her son can performwell.The Weavers say their son is a good student when in the properenvironment.A June 24 report from the Department of Student Servicesshows he scored proficient or advanced in all areas of the MSA testwhen taken from the third grade through the sixth grade.His teacher at Green Holly Elementary School wrote a lettersupporting the Weaver’s son as a diligent student when he attended aspecial course of instruction there.“[The student] was a very intelligent, creative athletic and talentedstudent who seemed to enjoy school,” Luanne Cochran wrote in aJune 18 missive. “As a matter of fact, he became upset when he hadto miss school due to doctors’ appointments or counseling sessions.“Academically, [he] did very well and was a very inquisitivestudent.”The Weavers say the school system has not always adheredto their son’s education plans now that he is in middle school, compoundinghis learning problems.A letter from Melissa Charbonnet, executive director of the Departmentof Special Education and Student Services, dated June 4,puts much of the responsibility for the Weaver’s son’s situation on hisparents’ choices.Charbonnet stated the school system agreed to home/hospitalteaching for their son despite their belief classroom learning wouldbe better; all parties agreed that a placement at The Harbour Schoolwould also be appropriate, according to the letter.Charbonnet said the Weavers refused to let their son take a bustrip to Annapolis with a pupil personnel worker (PPW) to visit TheHarbour School as required.When the home teacher for their son said they would no longerbe available, the school system provided another which the Weaversrejected “based solely” on the fact he was affiliated with a religiousorganization as a reverend.“Your failure to discuss scheduling for HHT [home hospitalteaching] services, your failure to allow HHT, and your failure tomake [your son] available for placement interviews at The HarbourSchool has resulted in [him] being truant,” Charbonnet wrote.“Truancy is a violation of Maryland’s compulsory school attendancelaws.”The school system declined to comment due to student confidentialityconcerns.guyleonard@countytimes.netWeekly AuctionsFridays at 6 p.m.Now takiNg coNsigNmeNtsfor future guN auctioN!Chesapeake Auction HouseSt. Leonard, MD 20685 • 410-586-1161 • chesapeakeauctionhouse.comThe Cove/D.F.Z.: a safe, fun & sober place to be for youth ages 12-17with concerns related to drugs or alcohol.

From there, thebooklet was given to eachof the Soil ConservationDistricts in the ChesapeakeBay watershed area forcustomization. If the 77million residents who live inthe watershed area of theChesapeake Bay read thisbooklet, and took to heartits suggestions and bestpractices, the ChesapeakeBay would see a dramaticincrease in health.

We must first examinethe amount and speed of the waterthat moves across the ground – yourbackyard. We must also consider thecontaminants the water picks up as itcrosses your yard on its way to the Bayor its tributaries.In a rainstorm, some rainfall “infiltrates,”or soaks into the ground, and someruns off. Infiltrated water percolatesthrough the soil and replenishes thegroundwater that eventually supplieswater to wells. Runoff can causeserious pollution problems.For every house built, a considerableexpanse of impervious surface is added– area that can’t absorb water. A vacantlot can absorb rainfall over its entiresurface, but when roofs, sidewalks,driveways, streets, and parking lotsare installed, all of the rainfall strikingthese surfaces runs off with very littleinfiltration. Runoff from residentialareas can quickly pick up pollutants onits path to the nearest storm drain orstream.From: www.ars.usda.gov/News/docs htm?docid=21137The most common pollutant issediment. Soil particles carried bythe runoff make “muddy” streams.When runoff slows down enough, thesediment settles out of the water and isdeposited. Pollutants such as fertilizersor pesticides can be dissolved in runoffor attached to sediment particles.Other water-borne pollutants includepathogens, fecal coliform (whichcould come from wild animal or petwaste), gas, oil, grease, and exhaustparticulates that wash off streets andparking lots.In suburban areas, runoff eventuallyflows into the storm drain system,headed for drinking water reservoirsand the Bay. It is far easier andmore cost effective to solve pollutionproblems at the source. Once pollutedrunoff leaves your property, it becomesa public problem – and a much moreexpensive one.What Can I Do toControl Runoff?The first and simplest rule ofconservation is to maximize infiltrationof rainfall and minimize runoff.Protecting soil with grasses, shrubs,trees, or mulch will make the soil moreresistant to erosion and more likely toabsorb the maximum amount of rainfallbefore runoff begins to occur.Where to get help with…RUNOFF, EROSION, &SOIL QUESTIONS• St. Mary’s Soil Conservation District,301-475-8402 ext. 3• St. Mary’s County Dept. of Land Useand Growth Management, Inspections,301-475-4200 ext. 1580• Chesapeake Bay Foundation, A Citizen’sGuide to Erosion and SedimentControl in Maryland, cbf.org/Document.Doc?id=160• St. Mary’s County Dept. of PublicWorks, 301-863-8400 ext. 3550Join your local watershedassociation and make adifference for Our Bay!This is the seventh in a series of articles that Mary Ann Scott (maryann.scott58@yahoo.com) has adapted from From My Backyard to Our Bay in the hopes of increasingsmrwa.orgQBH St M County TImes Half Adawarenesscode_Layoutof the1powerful1/7/13booklet8:15thatAMcouldPagedo so1much to help the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries.

Theother alternative is to do nothing and allowthe contaminants to remain in the soilthere, according to the report.This means the site would have to bereexamined every five years.The public can make written commentson the remediation plan for thesite until August 1. A public meeting onthe plan has been scheduled for July 31at 6p.m. at the Frank Knox Building inRoom 100.The written comments can be mailedto base public affairs office, the U.S. EnvironmentalProtection Agency, RegionIII in Philadelphia, Pa. or to the MarylandDepartment of the Environment inBaltimore.The report is available for publicviewing at either the LexingtonPark branch of the county public libraryor the library on base.guyleonard@countytimes.netSERVING ST.

31 Wednesday, July 3, 2013The County TimesCommunityBy Linda RenoContributing WriterLibrary DirectorReceives AwardSt. Mary’s County LibraryDirector Kathleen Reif(left) was presented a Waterfordcrystal bowl and plaqueat the American LibraryAssociation Conference inChicago for the 2013 PeggySullivan Award for PublicLibrary Administrators SupportingServices to ChildrenAward. Pictured here, afterthe ceremony, is Reif with thesponsor of the award PeggySullivan. The announcementwas made in April that Reifhad received this award “forher sustained and effectiveefforts to providing children’sservices, with particular attentionto early literacy andlearning and Every ChildReady to Read initiative.”A Journey Through TimeThe“This is the necessaryinference--for itcannot, for a moment besupposed that I designedto abstract the package,containing letters withoutexamination, in orderat my leisure to lookat their contents, I should have passed overLeonardtown, Head of the Bay, and all theother offices, to pick upon a solitary packagefrom the Great Mills, having nothing todistinguish it as valuable...The question, then… whether I hadsuch opportunity for examination, in pointof time…and whether there was any appearanceof secrecy attempted in the dischargeof my mail duties on that day?...I amnot without proof upon these points, as willappear by the following sworn statementsof a gentleman of integrity, well known inthe neighborhood in which I reside...thename of the person who was in the officewhen I opened the mail [has been omitted]as my sole object is self-vindication.”On August 31, 1850 Samuel Brookbankdeposed that he was at the store of H.G. Garner & Co. on August 19 when themail arrived from Leonardtown and he sawMorgan go into the counting room to openthe mail bag; that the door to the room andthe window was open the whole time; Morganwas in the counting room no longerthat two minutes at any given time; and thatanother person was present in the room.Morgan continued “The time, then,ChronicleJames Stephens Morgan, Pt. IIfor examination is limited to the periodbetween my return from the store to thecounting room, with the Chaptico mailmatter--for, of course the presence of theperson in the room at the time of openingand assorting the mail, effectually precludedany such purpose at that period;and yet, if the suspicions were correct, lessthan two minutes sufficed not only for thisexamination, but to arrange and to placethe mail, deposit the Chaptico contributions,close the mail bag and deliver it tothe driver. For, be it remembered, there isno pretence that, with the exception of themissing letter, there was anything irregularin the whole day’s processing.I very humbly submit that such taskof examination was impossible to anyoneonly blessed with the ordinary complementof eyes and hands…If these facts, brieflystated are not sufficient to remove alldoubt, I must be permitted, in the dischargeof a high duty, not only to those who trustedme, and whose confidence in my integrityhas never wavered for an instant--not onlyto my own character, but to the memory ofmy beloved parents, to play for a while theegotist.I am yet young--only 22 years ofage, and yet five years ago I was the confidentialclerk of Mr. James J. Gough atChaptico, having control of large funds...For years I discharged most of the dutiesconnected with his varied large moneytransactions, he being an invalid; he livedtrusting me--he died with that confidenceundiminished.”To be continued.Greenwell Adds NewKayak Fishing CampThe Greenwell Foundation is pleased toannounce that we have opened up a new fishingcamp this summer!

The County TimesWednesday, July 3, 2013 34By Kimberly AlstonContributing WriterBeatlemania Again Lives OnFor about two and a half hours, “BeatlemaniaAgain” gives fans of the original Beatles a chanceto see what it may have been like to see the “fabfour” in a concert back in 1968. For over 18 years,Dave Pal, Rich Morello, Tom Godsman and MarkEhnamm have taken on the roles of John Lennon,Ringo Starr, George Harrison and Paul McCartneyas they trace the career of the Beatles from their debutin 1964 to their finale in 1969. The instrumentsused in a Beatlemania Again show are period richto those played with in the 60’s in order to give theshow a more authentic sound.Beatlemania Again has been around for morethan 18 years, performing approximatly 75 showsper year. While the Beatles hailed from England,Beatlemania Again tends to stay rooted in the UnitedStates, but, according to owner and performerRich Morello, “our audience rangers from youngchildren to senior citizens”. “Everyone enjoys singingalong to all the classic Beatles songs,” he said.Since the show’s beginning, audience feedback hasbeen overwhelmingly positive. According to a testimonialfrom Melissa Anastasia, “for my kids, thisgroup is the Beatles,” she said, adding, “We alwayshave a great time singing along [and] laughing atthe great humor put on with the group”. BeatlemaniaAgain tries to have a genuinely authentic concertatmosphere, even holding signings and takingpictures after their shows.“The show recreates the music, the magic andthe mania of a live Beatles performance,” Morellosaid, “We do our best to capture the energy and excitementof a live Beatles concert”. The show featuresthree acts, “Meet the Beatles”, “SGT. Pepper”and “Get Back”, each highlighting a different pivotalpoint in the Beatles career. Act one revisits theBeatles’ migration from London to America, showcasingthe original sounds of their albums and theactual instruments used by the group during thattime. Act two highlights the change that the Beatlesembraced after touring around the Philippines andJapan. Everything is live during act two with nobacking tracks added. The final act showcases thefab four’s personalities. Each member dealing withhis own life. Beatlemania Again brings back theemotion that was hidden at the end of the Beatlescareer.“Beatlemania Again is a ‘rockumentary’,” saidMorello. The show is planning on continuing forseveral years to come, inspiring music fans of allage groups. Beatlemania Again is set to performduring St. Mary’s Ryken High School’s CommunityConcert Series on Saturday, July 13 at 8 p.m.in the school’s theatre. Doors will open at 7 p.m.Concessions will be available and no coolers willbe allowed. Tickets are $39 each and seating is generaladmission. Tickets can be ordered by calling301-373-4182.

Nobody thought you’dever leave. But you’d been quietlyjob-hunting for months, and on theday you got the call you were waitingfor (and the new position), youshocked them all. You quit – quit!And you couldn’t stop smiling.Ten years ago, Andy Sachsfamously quit her job at Runwaywith a big, Parisian f-bomb. Butin the new book “Revenge WearsPrada” by Lauren Weisberger, sheshould’ve known that you can’t escapeThe Devil that easily.Post-Traumatic StressSyndrome.Andy Sachs was sure she hadthat once, thanks to her assistant’sjob with Miranda Priestly at Runwaymagazine. Now, it had beena full decade since she’d escaped,ten years since Miranda’s ring-tonemade Andy cringe.Ten years since Andy quit in ablaze of dubious glory.Things sure had changed inthat decade.Right after she left Runway,Andy found work as a weddingblogger. Her best friend, Lily,moved to Colorado; and Alex, Andy’sfirst love, broke up with her ina most pathetic way. Not long afterthat, Andy and her former-enemyturned-bestie,Emily, started ThePlunge, a fabulous celeb-and-picture-filledwedding magazine, thecover on which every bride wantedto be. Best of all, Emily introducedAndy to Max Harrison, and nowAndy was a newlywed.But, of course, life never runssmoothly. On the morning of herwedding, Andy accidentally founda letter from Max’s mother, and itturned out that Barbara hated Andy.That undermined Andy’s self-confidence,despite that Max was loving,handsome, and supportive. Hewas also good with investments:he was one of The Plunge’s earliestbackers, after all.Yep, The Plunge was good. Itwas Andy’s “baby,” and it made herhappy. Everybody loved that magazine- including Elias-Clark, thefirm that wanted to acquire it, thefirm that also owned Runway.Runway, with Miranda Priestlyat the helm…Oh, my, there’s a lot going onin “Revenge Wears Prada.” Andyou’re going to love every singlepage of it.It’s always nice to reconnectwith old friends, especially whenthey’re as sweet and smart as AndySachs. Author Lauren Weisbergerlet her character mature but she otherwisehasn’t altered those aspectsof Andy’s personality. Even thoughit’s been ten years since we first mether, Andy’s just as endearing as shewas in Weisberger’s first book.What’s different here is thatMiranda Priestly is even more evil.Honestly, there’s one passage in thisbook that made my skin crawl. It’sdeliciously scary, like almost out ofa horror novel, and that couldn’t bemore perfect.I really don’t think you need tohave read Weisberger’s first novel tounderstand this one; it might help,but you can get a sense of what happenedpretty much anywhere. I cantell you this, though: whether you’renew to this story, or you’re an oldfan from way-back, once you startreading “Revenge Wears Prada,”you won’t be able to quit.

Cheese may just be one morefood that could actually be placed onthe “good” list if we just understood thedifference between the vast varieties available.Many nutritional experts agree that the human dietshould include 50 to 70 percent quality fats to achieveoptimal health. Cheese when consumed in the rightform can supply high quality protein, amino acids, saturatedfats, and Omega 3’s; vitamin A , D, zinc, calcium,phosphorus, B2, B12, vitamin K, and CLA.Quality cheese is one that is manufactured (fermented)with just a few ingredients; it’s simply goat orsheep milk, a starter culture, salt, and an enzyme. Thisis the opposite of fake cheeses like Velveeta, CheeseWhiz, and most other squeeze cheeses and pasteurizedcheeses. Other inferior cheeses are any that do not needrefrigeration or ones containing coloring agents andadditives. A key factor to a healthier cheese is pastureraised animals that are never fed grains. Quality cheesewill be labeled “Raw”. An organic label will also ensurethe cheese is a higher quality product. Additionally,raw, grass-fed, organic cheese contains more calcium,magnesium, vitamin A, C, D, and E than other forms ofcheese. Grass-fed is a major component to managing theproper balances of Omega 6 and 3 as grass-fed providesthe proper ratio of 2:1 of Omega 6 and 3. Non grass-fedhas an unbalanced ratio of 25:1 and an imbalance inOmega 6 to 3 contributes to inflammation in the body.In general quality raw cheese has lower sodium levels.Building healthy bones is more than just aboutcalcium, and raw cheeses pack a substantial amount ofvitamin K2. Gouda, Brie, Edam, Cheddar, Colby, hardGoat Cheese, Swiss, and Gruyere are highest in vitaminK.For those who may be lactose intolerant, muchof the lactose is removed during the cheese makingprocess, so one may be able to consume raw cheese;as it also contains enzymes to help in its digestion. Doremember that in order for a raw cheese to maintainits enzyme content, it cannot be heated above 115degrees.Hopefully as you begin to understand how toidentify quality cheese, you will be able to throw outthe guilt and load up on some key nutrients! But remembereven a healthy food should not be consumedeveryday…rotation….rotation…rotation….variety is akey to optimal health.©2013 Debra Meszaros MXSportsNutrition.com.
