Aiming to reduce the countys electri-cal power costs, the Commissioners of St.Marys County voted to approve a contractaward for the construction of several solarpower panel sites throughout the county attheir regular Tuesday meeting.

The contractor who will be building,operating and maintaining the sites is En-ergy Matters LLC at sites to include the St.Andrews Landfll, Margaret Brent MiddleSchool, a system on the rooftop of the Wic-omico Building as well as possible systemson future parking canopies at the countygovernmental center in Leonardtown, ac-cording to county documents.

The county will form a management

committee to enter into contract negotia-tions with the developer for a power pur-chasing agreement over a 20-year period.

The contractor will absorb the cost ofbuilding and maintaining the sites and thecounty will not provide capital funding orthe solar project.

The public-private partnership between

the county and Energy Matters LLC willbe for a 20 year period.

According to county documents that es-timated the benefts to both parties in thepartnership each site could generate be-tween 2.2 and 3.2 million kilowatt hours ofelectricty that represents energy sales to autility of between $700,000 to $1 million.

The contractor would take most of thatamount from selling the electricty to thepower grid and the county would take apercentage outlined in the power purchaseagreement.

The design of the solar sites could takebetween two to three months, with permit-ting taking another three to four months.

Construction is likely to take about sixmonths, according to county estimates.The sites would be expected to be opera-tional in about one year from the countysapproval of the contract.

Im pleased that fve additional HUD-VASH vouchers have been awarded tothe Calvert County Housing Authority tohelp provide permanent housing to veter-ans in Southern Marylands tri-county re-gion, stated Congressman Hoyer. Thesevouchers are provided based on results

from the annual Point-in-Time survey, acount of sheltered and unsheltered homeless individuals, which I am proud to sup-port each year in Southern Maryland. It isimportant that we do everything we can

to ensure that our brave veterans and theirfamilies are off of the streets and in a placethey can call home. I will continue to workin Congress to push for measures that helpget veterans the resources they need as theytransition back home and into civilian life.

Southern Maryland has received a totaof 35 vouchers since December 2014. Inaddition to providing housing assistancethe HUD-VASH program provides vet-erans with case management and clinical services through the Department oVeterans Affairs.

The Southern Maryland Youth Orches-tra and Choir (SMYOC) will make its rstappearance at the Leonardtown Wharftommorrow at a free concert that will seemore than 60 young people from the tri-county area play a broad selection of music.

Peter Wilson, one of the volunteer orga-nizers of the youth group, said that havinga choir and orchestra play together is some-thing SMYOC specializes in.

The kids love it, Wilson said. If youthplay music, then adults will play music.

Music expands your mind, its a lifepreparation exercise.

The concert comes at a time of impend-ing change for the youth group as it is set toopen a new rehearsal site in Prince Freder-ick in Calvert County to augment its Leon-ardtown site.

The orchestra and choir rehearse sepa-rately and come together for performanc-es; Wilson believed this expansion wouldgreatly increase the number of young peo-ple who would be interested in trying outfor the group.

I think were going to double in size,Wilson said.

Applications continue coming in foryoung people to play in the group, Wilsonsaid, whether to play an instrument or singin the choir; the youngest members of thegroup are 8 years old while instrumental-ists typically start at the age of 11.

Young people who want to join have toaudition to show they have the requisiteskills to perform at a specic level.

They have to be quality kids, Wilsonsaid, adding that they have to pay a fee tobe a part of the organization to pay for thesalaried instructors and conductors.

Typically the age limit will go up to 18years old.

But we take them up to 21 years old,Wilson said.

The selection will include songs andmusical pieces from Broadway, the clas-

sical period, popular instrumental piecesand even rock music.Something there will appeal to abso-

lutely everybody, Wilson said.The free concert will begin at 6:30 p.m.

Jack Nastyface and His World: The Ar-

chaeology of a British WarshipJoin Historic St. Marys City for a free

lecture June 16, 2016 at 7:00 p.m. in theHSMC Visitor Center (18751 HogaboomLane). Chuck Fithian, one of the regionsforemost experts on 18th and early-19thcentury British and American naval his-tory, will be discussing his 28 year longresearch and conservation of an 18th cen-tury sloop of war discovered in 1984.

On May 25, 1798, while on convoy es-cort duty the British sloop of war DeBraakwas struck by a sudden squall, capsized,and foundered on the Delaware coast. Dis-covered in 1984, the surviving hull rem-nant and its associated artifact collectionrepresents a rare and unparalleled viewinto the material world of shipboard lifeaboard a Royal Navy vessel. This war-

ships presence in American waters is an

archaeological expression of importantevents that were affecting and linking the

lives of diverse peoples living in the At-lantic world of the late eighteenth century.

The life of the sailor of the eighteenthcentury is frequently misunderstood,hidden by their distinctive lifestyle andlongstanding popular mythology. Usinginformation derived from the study of theDeBraak and its artifacts, Mr. Fithian willprovide an alternate archaeological per-spective on the world of the naval sailor.His talk will show the complexities oftheir wooden world, and place it into thewider context of maritime culture, navalwarfare, and the historical events shapingthe period.

Chuck Fithian was the Division of His-torical and Cultural Affairs curator ofarchaeology for 28 years, and now is a lec-turer in anthropology at Washington Col-

lege in Chestertown, Md.

The John Smith Ches-apeake Trail provides an opportunity toconnect with the natural beauty as well asthe rich history and culture of the Chesa-peake. When people visit places along thetrail, they fall in love with the Chesapeakeand they want to protect it. Our hope is thatthey will then vote for it, donate money toconserve it, and even dedicate their careersto it.

Education ofcials in Calvert Countysay they are worried that some of their best

and most experienced teachers are beinglost to neighboring St. Marys County overdissatisfaction with their pay schedules.

Teachers in Calvert have long com-plained of a lack of step increases in theirsalaries, which have fallen behind over thelast several budget cycles.

The problem is that we are severalsteps behind, said Dennis Mooney, headof the Calvert teachers union, adding thatteachers looked at the budget process inSt. Marys where elected leaders recentlyagreed to bring teachers up to full salariesthat they had been promised.

St. Marys was willing to bring them upto full salary, Mooney said of the compel-ling reason behind so many Calvert per-sonnel seeking interviews in St. Marys inrecent months.

Another problem for Calvert teachers,Mooney said, was one of how much theiryears of teaching experience counted to-wards where they fell in the organizationspay scale.

Currently, the school system caps theamount of experience that counts towardspay scale placement at just ve years.

Mooney said that meant that a teacherwith 10 years experience could expect tocome into the Calvert school system at onlystep No. 5 on the pay scale, essentially ve

steps behind where they could expect to bplaced in neighboring St. Marys.

Mooney said his union was not certainexactly how many teachers from Calverwere seeking employment in St. Marys opossibly in Charles County but the schoosystem had already lost 46 teachers tneighboring jurisdictions last year as a result of dissatisfaction with pay.

It is signicant, Mooney said of thnumber looking to leave this year. Thiyear is probably close to last year.

Were losing our most valuable teachers; its a large exodus at this time.

Kelly McConkey, member of the Calvert County Board of Education, said therwas a step increase for teachers built intothe scal 2017 budget but it wasnt enougto persuade teachers to give Calvert mortime to nd a solution.

The step increase programmed for thi

coming scal year costs about $2.7 t$3 million, McConkey told The CountyTimes.

He said that Calvert teachers had beentold in past years that money would bfound to make their pay whole after budgethad been passed and it never happened.

They have every reason to not believus, McConkey said. They dont feel appreciated, but they are appreciated.

HOW DOESA TANKLESSWORK?The obvious differencebetween a tank and atankless is its size.Not only will you gainsignifcant space, but

youll also get endlesshot water with a tankless.

Noritz tankless water

heaters last longer thantraditional tank waterheaters and are backed upwith a 12-year warranty.

With a tankless, you wontbe using hot water that isstored in a tank that canaccumulate scale and rustover time. Noritz unitsallow you to set thetemperature you want.

STEP 1A hot water

tap isturned on.

STEP 3The computerautomatically

ignites theburner.

STEP 5The Noritz tankless water heater

provides an endless stream ofhot water. When the tap is

turned off, the unit shuts off.

STEP 2Cold waterenters the

heater & theow sensor

detects thewater ow.

STEP 4Water circulatesthrough the heat

exchanger.The burner heats

the water tothe designated

temperature.

SPACE SAVING CALCULATION

A traditional tank-type water heater takes up to 13 ft2of

space. If 1 ft2is worth $200, thats $2,600 (13 ft2x $200)

worth of space you could be saving at Noritz.* Installation must conform with local codes, or in the absence of local codes,

A convicted sex offender who claimedhe had a residence in the District of Co-lumbia but was arrested in Lexington ParkMonday has been released from the countydetention center over the concerns of localpolice who are worried he may abscondagain.

Darren Steven Redd, 45, was the sub-ject of a search by U.S. Marshals who hadbeen tracking him since September of lastyear after he absconded from his registeredresidence in the District, charging papersstated.

By using cell phone records from a cellphone known to be used by Redd wastraced to a cell phone tower where it hadbeen regularly used from March to Maythis year federal marshals found it hadlinked to a cell tower in Lexington Park.

Marshals also found that on Jan. 7 Reddhad led unemployment and tax paper-work in Lexington Park.

Last month marshals came to Reddsresidence and spoke to somone living therewho identied themselves as Redds wifeand that they had lived there for severalmonths.

One month later marshals came to ar-rest and Redd and found him in the masterbedroom of his Lexington Park residence,according to charging documents led byDep. David Potter.

Det. Cpl. William Raddatz made the ac-tual arrest, court papers showed.

When marshals questioned Redd he told

them he had a residence in the Districtwhen marshals told him that the personliving at the residence had been evictedmonths ago he changed his story and told

them he was homeless, court papers statedMarshals interviewed neighbors, wit-

nesses and property management staffat the complex who said they were notaware that Redd was a tier III lifetime sexoffender.

In court papers Potter wrote that the ar-resting deputy expressed concern that dueto the transient nature of the absconder ifnot apprehended he may not be located forfuture court proceedings.

Redd was charged with failing to notifythe registry of a temporary address changeand failing to register as a sex offender.

Great Expectations Attached To UAS SiteBy Guy LeonardStaff Writer

At the University of Marylands un-manned systems test site just off AirportDrive in California, Matt Scassero, a re-tired Navy captain and aviator hopes tohelp start a quiet revolution in the way thecounty prospers by staking its claim ina growing and still unpredictable industry.

Unmanned air vehicles and systems haveproven their worth on the battleeld butScassero and his team of researchers andspecialists at the site are looking for waysto take what started out as military technol-

ogy and turn it to civilian purposes.In essence he wants to make the smallbut growing site into a miniature PatuxentRiver Naval Air Station, which has beenthe spearhead for naval aviation evolution.

Its about getting research airborne,Scassero said in an interview with TheCounty Times. Thats our reason forbeing.

While political leaders and economic de-velopment pundits have placed great hopesin turning St. Marys County into a hub forunmanned systems development, others,including high-ranking military personnelof ag rank and even some local businessleaders have privately become detractors ofthe project.

They cite a culture of dependence onfederally-funded work and a mindset now

designed more for acquisition of defensehardware than for testing and research the difference between the missions of theNaval Air Systems Command and the Na-val Air Warfare Center Aircraft Divisionthat both share space at the navy base.

Theyre wrong and the reason they arewrong is that this is going to happen, Scas-sero said of the growing unmanned sys-tems industry. The industry is coming andtheres nothing saying that some of it has tocome to St. Marys County.

The key was the people who work here,Scassero said, highly trained and techni-cally procient in writing computer codeand developing software.

The challenge, he said, was to keep themhere.

If another round of sequestration cuts inthe federal budget hit the defense industryas they did several years ago, defense-relat-ed jobs here could be eliminated or movedto other installations, diminishing the localeconomy.

The people are what drives this, Scas-sero said. And right now we have them.We need to nd a way to keep them herewith civil and commercial research work.

Bill Scaraa, executive director of thecountys Chamber of Commerce agreedthat technically skilled people were the key

to making the project work but it could besome time before the county could reallycall its economy diversied.

Were not going to create a broad spec-trum of new jobs overnight, Scaraa said.We need to get the innovation rst throughthe research being done.

What could make the county a futurecenter of autonomous systems excellenceand evolution; the technically procientwork force, the designation as a place tofreely test so many new systems as well

as the coming of a dedicated research facility the third building at the SouthernMaryland Higher Education Center, couldalso serve to perpetuate one of the countylingering problems.

The existence of a two-tier economy, onelevel ush with high-paying governmentfunded salaries and another dependent onproviding services to get a share of thacash, has pervaded the county for decadebut there has been little recourse for thoswho live here and who do not have trainingto take advantage of better opportunities.

Scassero said the same problem couldexist with the technology-dependent autonomous industry but there was an opportunity as well.

A booming autonomous systems industry could also mean the chance for loca

residents to get training to build the partsnecessary for those vehicles, he said.

Our chances of getting heavy manufacturing here are almost zero, Scassero saidBut there is room for light manufacturing.Such new opportunities could nally bringthe level of economic diversication thecounty has sought for the last few years, after sequestration cuts took their toll.

If we dont do anything and theres another down turn in defense budgets, everyone here will feel it, Scassero said.

Scaraa agreed.As things become more commercial-

ized then we can look at getting manufac-turing and distribution jobs here, he said.Then well have parallel jobs that arentdependent on the defense industry thatcan keep our intellectual property in St.Marys County.

Scassero said that while military un-manned systems spending is expected toincrease by 5 percent a year the civilian and

commercial spending on that same technol-ogy is projected to increase by 19 percenta year.

Thats where the money is, Scasserosaid.

What makes the test site at the countyairport valuable to so many companies andgovernment agencies pursuing new tech-nologies are airspace, expertise and ightauthorization, Scassero said, since thesites designation for research work givesit latitude to y almost anywhere, all thiswhile the Federal Aviation Administration

is working on ight rules to govern the useof civilian unmanned air vehicles in the restof the country.

What unmanned air vehicles can dobest within cur rent capabilities is surveil-lance, a term which causes consternationfor some who worry about privacy issues,but, Scassero said, it was an activity thatcould be used for all kinds of legitimatepurposes, including observing progress ofagriculture and aquaculture crops, inspect-

ing infrastructure like roads andpipelines, disaster response andeven public safety.

The site earned distinctionrecently for taking part in a testwith Charles County search andrescue in which a dummy wassuccesfully dropped in the wa-ter and spotted by an unmannedair vehicle for rescue.

The vehicles themselves areimportant, with researchers al-ways looking for sleeker and

lighter air frames that can transport moreand more advanced systems, but the soft-ware that commands the aircraft are thekey system, Scassero said.

Software is what dr ives everything,he said of the algorithms necessary tocommand a drone. The mathematiciansare the rockstars now.

There are probably a lot of parentsout there who are proud when their chil-dren are successful and can afford all the

best things in life, and then go out and buythem. I am proud that both my sons havesuccessful careers, but I am also proud thatthey are both thrifty. I brought them upon antique hunting, thrift store shopping,and yard sale stopping. My youngest son,I would happily go so far to say, loves toscavenge for interesting nds. Both sonslove nding a good deal and will spendhours browsing around the Farmers Mar-ket in Charlotte Hall and all the barn shopsin Hughesville. My youngest son and an-c are also savvy thrift store and yard saleshoppers. I dont think there is a thr ift storeor consignment shop they have missed inmost of Maryland. I am so proud. To me,it is all part of re-using, recycling, and re-purposing. Now, all of those ideas are evenbigger than ever.

When my sons were younger, I found

most all of their Scout uniforms at VintageValues and other thrift stores. I still havea favorite pair of pajamas I found there 20years ago. One of my favorite shirts was athrift store nd. So you may pass me onthe street and take a double take, becauseI might be wearing your old clothes. Itdoesnt bother me I hate to go clothesshopping in the stores. I especially lovedthe higher end consignment shop, Col-leens Dream in Leonardtown. I sure missthat shop.

All of you know that I have beenpurging everything from paperwork, todrawers, to my sons things over the lastfew years much of that going to localthrift shops. There were items of my latemothers and my husbands late mothersthat we have sent to other family homes orsold. How much stuff do you need really.

When I watch a show set in a poor area

either here or in another country, I alwaymarvel at how little so many people haveand how some purposefully live with so

little. My father was like that and wouldhave been happy with a stack of books, achair outside, a cold Schlitz, and a bit oOld Grand Dad. Throw in some grilled hodogs and a warmed can of beans and hewas in Heaven.

The last few years, I have been steadily dropping off items at Vintage Valueand Hooks and hangars, but I dont go into browse so much anymore. Im too afraidI will want to bring something home andwreck my purging crusade. Two Fridayago, my son Ryan called to say that he andhis two little boys were heading to Hookand Hangers in Charlotte Hall to lookaround, so I met them up there. Finally was able to walk through the whole store. saw all sorts of great treasures, and founda ceramic Studio 56 style house that wasperfect for my fairy garden. It was a run

down Italian villa. I showed it to my littlegrandson Liam while my son was out in hitruck changing Carson. I said, Liam, wilyou tell your Daddy that Grandma wantthis for her birthday? Will you remembewhere it is? And he did. He walked myson all the way back to it. Now its in myfairy garden and it is perfect. I was alsopleasantly surprised at how orderly andnice everything was kept. My biggest surprise came when I got to the opposite sidof the store. I found that there is anotheshop called Rustic Restorations withinHooks and Hangers that has lots and lotof repurposed and shabby chicd furnitureplus home dcor. They also sell FusionMineral Paint which I have been dying totry the colors are amazing and the pricis great. So, next time you drop some donations off, dont just leave, walk around with

the mind set to reuse, recycle, and repur

Last night, everyone happened to behome, which is an unusual occurrence,these days, at Testosterone Terrace. PrinceFirstly and his lovely Lady Sarah had

dropped by to bake a banana cake. Forgot-ten Middle Child Tim was there, too, hav-ing just returned f rom spending the eveningwith his girlfriend, who is new enough tothe scene to not yet have a nickname, but isequally lovely. And, Baby Ben was in resi-dence, sporting his Playoffs Beardwereall huge Penguins fans in this household,no one more so than Benand in case youarent aware, the Pens are leading 3-1 in theStanley Cup nals, right now. He was alsobusy demolishing tomorrows lunch, whichId just nished preparing (it had been afull hour since dinner, after all, so I dontknow why I was surprised).

Before we all went off to our separateactivities, we were gathered in the familyroom, and CNN was on in the background.The anchor was announcing that Hillary

Clinton had won the California primary,and was reiterating the news from earlierin the day, that Clinton was now the of-cial presumptive Democratic nominee forPresident of the United States: the rst timea major party would nominate a woman forthe Presidency.

I should mention, here, that two of mythree offspring are Bernie fans: all threeboys have followed politics from an earlyage, because I do, and their father does,

and so theyve been steeped in from theirrst memories. This election, though, isthe rst in which all three boys will be ofage to vote for our next President, so thebattle has engaged them even more thanusual. Weve had more than a few healthyand respectfulreally!debates about theadvantages of one candidate over the other;when the debate does get slightly heated,which is rare, we retreat to safe and com-mon ground by mutual, unspoken agree-ment. The area to which we retreat: ourshared horror at the idea that the presump-tive Republican nominee could possiblyoccupy the White House. On that front,theres always plenty to talk about, andplenty on which we can agree: this weekhas just been more of the same. Whetherits Trump pointing to a black man in the

crowd at one of his rallies and saying,Look at my African-American over here,or stating that an American judge born inIndiana is biased against Trump because ofhis Mexican heritagethe judges parentswere born in Mexicohe has once againraised the concerns and ire of right-minded

people everywhere. Even the leaders of hisown party have expressed disgust at his ac-cusations against the judge, noting that itsabout as clear an example of bigotry and

racism as one can nd.Last night, though, the boys and I allwatched the news in accord. I think wewere all reminded (especially when theboys saw me surreptitiously wiping a fewtears from my eyes) that this was a momentnot for division, but for celebration.

Whatever your political believers,whomever your preferred candidate, whatwas happening was a moment of historicalsignicance. Every little girl could now be-lieve her parents assurances that she canbe whatever she imagines herself to bewhen she grows upeven leader of the freeworld. Every adult woman can let herselfhope, for a moment, that the many trou-bling gender equality issues that face andsometimes divide uspay inequities, vio-lence against women, ongoing attempts to

legislate a womans right to control choicesregarding her own bodymight now heara strong voice of support and understand-ing coming from the highest ofce in theland.

As I watched the boys take in the mo-mentous event playing out before usand,

with maturity beyond their years, settingaside their own disappointment at Bernieloss to recognize and rejoice in the historybeing mademy thoughts wandered, fo

a moment, to the grandchildren I hope tohave in the years to come.I imagined a conversation with my fu

ture grandchildren: I was telling themabout an evening that happened way backin 2016, when their parents were still youngand just setting out on their lives as adultsLast night, the boys thought I was smilingabout the strides women have made (and was, I was). But, I was also smiling at theconversation I imagined, in which thosetwo future grandchildren just couldnt understand why it was such a big deal that awoman had been nominatedand perhapelectedas President.

Whats so unusual about that? one othem was asking.

Nothing, I answered. Nothing at all.

George Dent (December 21, 1856-Oc-tober 15, 1842), son of Thomas Dent andElizabeth Edwards and husband of Eliza-beth Temperance Mills, daughter of John

Mills and Elizabeth Reeves.April 4, 1838: Revolutionary War Pen-sion Application of George Dent, St.Marys Co., age 81 years, 3 mos., and 14days. He entered service in June 1778 andleft in 1779 after 1 year, 2 months, and 2weeks of service.

Dent stated that he was born on De-cember 21, 1856 in St. Marys County andhas always lived there. He volunteered torelieve a class out of Charlotte Hall com-manded by Capt. Henry Sothoron.

We were dispensed to ll up the vacan-cies in different companies JonothanWoodburn, Norman Burroughs, and myselfwent into Capt. John Davidsons Companybecause Richard Hill and Henry Spaldingfrom our County were in that company andhad been out for some time.

We were marched to White Plains, New

York and there we laid three months. Mytent and General Washingtons were insight of each otherwe frequently formedfor battle and many detachments sent downto strengthen Col. Morgans Regimentour anking parties had frequent skir-mishes with the enemy; from White Plains,I was marched with many others to the Fortat West Point to strengthen that post.

We left West Point and marched toPoughkeepsie from thence to New Jersey.There we went into winter quarters bybuilding huts which we commenced on the

day after Christmas day and nished oursin 11 or 12 days. I done no more servicein the Maryland line except what I done atthis place and was discharged there with

the others of my countrymen who were inthe detachment with me.I got home exactly twelve months hav-

ing been out precisely one year. I wasconstantly upon duty of some sort or otherduring the year I was outI knew manyofcers, but my memory has become somuch impaired I cannot recollect any moreof them.

Shortly after my return home, I volun-teered under Lt. Benjamin Edwards andmarched to Llewellens Warehouse on thePotomac to guard the shores and was outtwo weeks. I then volunteered under Capt.Mills, Lt. William Cartwright, and HenrySwann, Ensign and was marched to thelower part of St. Marys County to guardthe shores and was on that service twomonths and took a severe spell of illnesswhich prevented my being at the Siege of

York as I had desired to do.I did receive a discharge on my wayhome, about one mile and a half from Campin New Jersey, I and my comrades met Maj.Gen. Baron DeKalb who accosted us ask-ing where are you going soldiers? I toldhim we were going home and he asked ifwe had been discharged. I gave him mydischarge to look at and while looking at it,his horse threw his head down and causedthe discharge to be torn in two piecesithas long since been lost or mislaid.

You no doubt have observed the large

American Flag on the tall agpole alongthe north side of Routes 2/4 just north ofSolomons. Are you aware of the specialsignicance of the place-ment of this greatAmerican symbol? This ag is known asCharleys Flag in honor of Charles Se-rabian who devoted his life to his country,his county, his community, his friends, andeven people he didnt know, but knew oftheir need. Charley loved his god and lovedhis American Flag. Among his many civicfeats, his greatest interest was in seeingthis symbol was protected from those whowould desecrate it for whatever reason. Hehad a long history of lobbying Congress topass a law protecting it from such unpa-triotic actions and could always be foundin the gallery of the House of Representa-

tives each and every time the legislature

brought a Bill to protect the Flag before thefull House. Unfortunately, Charley neversaw his dream come true before he passedin 2000.

Charley was a truly special person whocontinually gave of himself. Even in deathhe continues to provide support for othersthrough large nancial gifts he bequeathedto the American Legion, his parish at OurLady Star of the Sea in Solomons, and hisBrother Knights with the Knights of Co-lumbus Council 9258 where the Knightsprovide a Scholarship Fund in his honorthat supports four college students a year.A Navy veteran of World War II, he wasdescribed as a war hero during the manyeulogies given during his funeral service.He never spoke of his war time experience

and seldom talked of his military

service.Following the end of the War,he took advantage of the new GIBill afforded the veterans andearned a Business Degree fromthe University of Maryland. Helater opened a restaurant in Col-lege Park and successfully man-aged this popular enterprisefor more than twenty years. Hesold his business in the 70s andmoved to a waterfront home inSolomons and totally immersed

himself in community affairs. He became

very active with the Arick Lore AmericanLegion Post 274 in Lusby. He went on toserve in many roles at the State level. Thisag pole and its ag was erected by the Le-gion in his honor and continues to be main-tained by the members the Post.

Additionally, Charley was one of theoriginators of the Boy State Program inMaryland, a week long summer nationalleadership event that hosts young, brighthigh school juniors in an intense civicscourse in National and State government.Held at various college campuses such asWashington College on the Eastern Shoreand the Naval Academy in Annapolis eachsummer, this training has produced manyfuture legislators. President Bill Clintonis a graduate of Boys State in Arkansasduring his youth. Charley served as mem-

ber of the staff for the Maryland event formany years.Charley served in every leadership and

management position including CalvertCounty Commander for the three Postswithin the County. While serving as theLusby Post Commander, he initiated theAmerican Red Cross bi monthly Blood-mobile visits at the Post, reported to be therst time this type of assistance was at-tempted in Southern Maryland. Now, af-ter 35 years, these efforts continue to be avaluable aid and meet critical health needsfor the citizens of the local area. Addition-ally, he was instrumental in supportingthe County American Legion Babe RuthBaseball program, the Annual AmericanLegion Oratorical Contest for high schoolstudents, and many programs that sup-

port and serve the needy. In particular,the National Childrens Medical Center,better known as Childrens Hospital inWashington was one of his favorite chari-ties. He was often observed pulling out hischeckbook or opening his wallet to helpa person less fortunate than himself. Forhis huge heart, his many volunteer achieve-ments, and the great willingness to giveof himself to others, Charley was namedby Governor Parris Glendening as theMaryland Most Beautiful Person of theYear in 1996.

Finally, each July 4th, Charley openedhis home for a large party of friends andneighbors to celebrate our Countrysbirthday. He provided all the food andbeverage and live music and always at-tracted more than 200 people to this pop-

ular annual event. It was this great pub-lic display of his generosity and friend-ship that people remember most aboutthis beloved man. He always lookedforward to this gathering and always hadthe most fun and enjoyment of all thosein attendance!

He was a great friend to all and hisstill greatly missed by those of us whoknew him. His funeral was one of thelargest held at Our Lady Star of the Sea.The church was unable to accommodatethe number of friends who came from allover to be a part of this celebration of hislife. Busses were provided to take manyof the attendees to his burial at Gate ofHeaven Cemetery in Silver Spring. Hisfuneral procession passed his agpolewhere the entire Patuxent High Schools

NJROTC Unit stood at attention and ren-

dered honors as his hearse passed. Charleywould have loved this scene for it had thetwo things he cherished the most, hisFlag and our youth. I remember this scenevividly as we followed in our car behindthe buses. Our car radio surprisingly wasplaying I Am Proud To Be An Americanby Lee Greenwood at that exact moment!!Honestly it did happen as I described it!

In summary, Charles Serabian was aPatriot, a Veteran, a Legionnaire, a Brother Knight of Columbus, but most of all afriend to all. He would be especially proudto know his wealth and his legacy will liveon to provide long term support for deserv-ing young people who wish to better theirown lives.
