As state police crash investigators con-tinue to gather information on a vehicle crash that overturned an Amish buggy and sent all of its seven occupants flying to the ground in Mechanicsville over the week-end, the commander of the local barrack does not anticipate any charges in the case.

Lt. Thomas White, speaking in a Mon-day phone interview, said that the two adults and five children ejected from the buggy July 9 at the intersection of Cul-ver Lane and Route 6 at about 12:30 a.m. were badly injured in the crash but would survive.

“They are all in stable condition and with no life threatening injuries,” White told The County Times.

According to reports from state police the crash occurred when the Amish buggy, traveling westbound on Route 6 on the shoulder made a left hand turn to go down Culver Lane where the family resided when it was hit by a car going the same direction.

White said that Aaron Hertzler, 33, Katie Hertzler, 30, and five children ranging in age from eight to 15 years old were return-ing from a late night family project, which

was a common occurrence in the Amish community.

He said that when the buggy made the left hand turn the driver of the Nissan Alti-ma that struck them, James Windell Price, Jr. 25 of Mechanicsville, probably did not see them make the turn.

“It looks like the driver didn’t see what was in front of him,” White said, adding that horse-drawn buggies had reflective patches and lights on them but it wasn’t enough in this incident.

“On a turn they have nothing on the sides,” White said.

All seven crash victims had to be flown out via helicopter; the adults to MedStar Washington Hospital Center and the chil-dren to Children’s National Medical Center in Washington D.C.

Price and the passenger in the Nissan were treated on the scene and released.

The world-wide lauch of a new smart phone application, Pokemon Go, in which players use global positioning data to track down and find animated figures on their de-vices is causing a stir here as well.

The popularity of the game has caught on rapidly but is also causing problems be-cause the application is taking people, ei-ther on foot or by vehicle, into places where they might not be wanted or even allowed.

The new app was a big point of discus-sion at the Leonardtown Town Council meeting Monday when council members reported that they had seen people all over town using data on their phones to hunt down the animated pokemon figures on their screens, even at night.

Streets on the town square Monday af-ternoon had visitors with necks craned down to their phones tracking down the elusive pokemon as well.

Council member Jay Mattingly said the app, while fun, was already starting to cause problems.

“It’s increasing suspicious activity,” Mat-tingly said. There’s people out in the middle of the night looking for these pokemon.”

That means in some cases these people are wandering onto or near private prop-erty in search of the pokemon.

Council member Hayden Hammett said he saw one man down at Leonardtown Wharf at night wearing head-mounted lights just to search for one of the pokemon.

“It’s definitely getting people out,” Ham-mett said.

Reports from around the globe show that game players are having great fun with the app, but there has been a darker side to its release.

In one case it led a player to a spot where they found a dead body, while in another case a group of alleged armed robbers had used the app to predict where and when players might arrive at secluded spots to be taken for their possessions.

In some cases it has resulted in many blocked private driveways as pokemon hunters stop off in their cars to make their search.

Sheriff Timothy K. Cameron said the app’s popularity had yet to result in any crime’s committed in the county as of a telephone interview Wednesday.

“It’s caused some problems, namely tresspassing for lack of a better term, people wandering onto private property,” Cameron told The County Times. “People are so focused on technology they don’t know what’s going on around them.”

Cameron said one of his deputies had already dealt with a group of people en-grossed in the game so much they had wan-dered into traffic.

Aside from the game’s dangers as a pos-sible criminal lure it now has access to all the player’s information on that cell phone.

“It’s now a cache potential cache of in-formation for hackers,” Cameron said. “I’m hoping the fad levels off soon.”

Semi-Annual Sale going on now!

For the first time in years Leonardtown now plays host to a national franchise in its downtown area, once solely the province of locally owned and operated small businesses.

But town leaders were quick to point out last week that the opening of the new Dunkin’ Donuts on Washington Street was a positive addition to the town’s business family, since it too was oper-ated by a local business owner.

Maria Icaza, not only heads up the new store but is a fund raiser for the local Special Olympics, a member of the Chamber of Commerce and a Ro-tary Club member.

“It’s really serving the community well,” she

said of all the organiza-tions she works with.

Scott Murphy, se-nior vice president for Dunkin’ Donuts opera-tions in the Unites States said that Icaza’s work in Leonardtown made the opening of the new store a special occasion.

“We open about 500 stores a year,” Murphy said. “But I made a special effort to be here because of a special person.

“We’re a big company but we’re lo-cally owned by franchisees.”

Numerous residents came out to the grand opening, including elected of-ficials including Leonardtown Mayor Dan Burris, council member Roger Mattingly, Sen. Steve Waugh and Del. Matt Morgan.

Burris said later that there were concerns by some in the town’s busi-ness community that having a fran-chise open up in the downtown, cre-ating stiff competition for smaller proprietorships.

But he believed that the new store would be a good mix with the other businesses in town.

“It’s been packed ever since it opened,” Burris said during Monday’s town council session. “It’s really going to bring a lot to the downtown.”

The county government is considering paying nearly $2 million for 158 acres on South Sandgates Road in Mechanicsville; the issue will come up for debate at the Aug. 2 meeting of the Commissioners of St. Mary’s County.

Commissioner Todd Morgan said the reason for the purchase was to provide more boat launch space for access to the Patuxent River.

“A lot of that money is coming out of Project Open Space funding,” Morgan said. The biggest complaint is the lack of access for boats to the Patuxent River.

“This could be a great way to do it.”Morgan called the potential pur-

chase a “good deal” and a “worthwhile proposition.”

Commissioner Mike Hewitt said the purchase of land was a significant one from a sheer size perspective.

“It’s going to be beach front but there could be fields there, too,” Hewitt said. “It has a really big beach.

“There’s a lot of potential there.”The $1.8 million price tag was based

on an appraisal the county had commis-sioned, Hewitt said, and was well below the asking price of the owners, described in county notices as the Fortier Farm

Family Limited Partnership.The County Times learned that the oth-

er assessment appraised the land’s value at $1.76 million.

The asking price from the sellers was $3.5 million, Hewitt said.

The purchase could be funded by half by the Department of Natural Resources, Hewitt said, and when he visited the prop-erty he saw that it was about one-half or one-third wooded with some homes and barns on the parcel.

He said there was no preliminary plan that he knew of to develop the property.

County Attorney George Sparling said the commissioners would have the option to purchase the land Aug. 2 without a pub-lic hearing.

The Maryland public meeting laws only required that they announce the potential purchase before the scheduled commissioner meeting, he said.

Any public comment would be at the allowance of the county commissioners, Sparling said.

County Commissioners To Mull $1.8 Million Land PurchaseBy Guy LeonardStaff Writer

From typewriter to tablet; fountain pen to email; sticky notes to texting; group meetings to Google Hangouts, snapshots to Snapchat, young employees are chal-lenging norms within the workplace.

The Patuxent Partnership (TPP), in col-laboration with NextGen Professionals and AVIAN, LLC, present Bridging the Gap, a panel discussion focusing on the positives of a diverse workforce, learning to appreciate communication differences and overcoming preconceived notions of how work is performed.

The program will be held Tuesday, Au-gust 2 at AVIAN, LLC, just south of gate one on Route 235. Check-in and network-ing reception begins at 5:00 p.m. with the panel discussion ending by 7:00 p.m.

Today’s workforce includes an expan-sive age range: college graduates working their first jobs, stay at home moms re-en-tering the workforce, and the baby boom-ers who still have much to offer, well past

the typical retirement age. It is a great opportunity for younger workers to learn from experienced colleagues, as well as for the more seasoned employees to learn new technologies and ways of problem solving from the younger generation.

Dr. Louis Hicks, Professor of Sociol-ogy at St. Mary’s College of Maryland, is the panel moderator, and additional panelists include : Kevin Switick, Chief Executive Officer, AVIAN, LLC; Bennett Wilson, Senior Consultant, Tech Transfer, Hyperion Technologies, LLC; and Chris-tina Payne, Director of Human Resources and Recruitment, Precise Systems, Inc.

There is no cost for this program. Advance registration is requested. To register, please visit paxpartnership.org <http://www.paxpartnership.org/> .

Sheriff Timothy K. Cameron announced today that a team of assessors from the Commission on Accreditation for Law En-forcement Agencies, Inc. (CALEA) will arrive on Sunday, July 31, 2016, to exam-ine all aspects of the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office policies, procedures, man-agement, operations and support services. Verification by the team that the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office meets the Com-mission’s state-of-the-art standards is part of a voluntary process to gain accredita-tion – a highly prized recognition of law enforcement professional excellence, he said. The agency is seeking its fourth Law Enforcement Accreditation award. As part of the on-site assessment, agency employees and members of the community are invited to offer comments at a public information session on Monday, August 1, 2016, beginning at 6:00 p.m. Persons interested in speaking are required to sign-in between the hours of 5:30 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. The session will be conducted at the Board of County Commissioners Hearing Room, Chesapeake Bldg., 41770 Baldridge Street in Leonardtown, Maryland 20650. If for some reason an individual cannot speak at the public information session but would still like to provide comments to the assessment team, he/she may do so by telephone. The public may call 301-904-2668 on Monday, August 1, 2016, be-tween the hours of 2:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. Telephone comments as well as appearances at the public information session are limited to 10 minutes and must address the agency’s ability to comply with CALEA’s standards.

Persons wishing to offer written comments about the ability of the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office to meet the standards for ac-creditation are requested to write: Commis-sion on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc. (CALEA), 13575 Heathcote Blvd. Suite 320 Gainesville, VA 20155. The Accreditation Program Manager for the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office is Ms. Colleen Vranish. She said the assess-ment team is composed of law enforcement practitioners from similar but out-of-state agencies. The assessors will review writ-ten materials, interview individuals, and visit officers and other places where com-pliance can be witnessed. The assessors are team leader Dennis Nelson, Warden of the Clayton County (GA) Correctional Institution, and Kristin Rightler, Accredi-tation Manager of the Town of Jupiter (FL) Police Department. Once the Com-mission’s assessors complete their review of the agency, they report back to the full Commission. A formal committee hear-ing and review of the assessment report will occur in November 2016, when CA-LEA commissioners will determine if the agency is to be granted re-accreditation. For more information regarding the Com-mission on Accreditation for Law Enforce-ment Agencies, Inc. please write the Com-mission at 13575 Heathcote Blvd. Suite 320 Gainesville, VA 20155, call (800) 368- 3757 or (703) 352-4225, or email [email protected].

Timothy John Kerr, a 40-year-old male from Huntingtown, was found dead in a white pick-up truck in Severn on Saturday night.

According to police investigation, Kerr apparently got in the truck after being shot and attempted to drive out of the area before dying from his injuries. Another male involved in the case was later identified as Duwayne Thomas Mason, 42, of Columbia, Md. Mason was found by the police inside a residence at 7600 block of Sandy Farm Rd., suffering from apparent

gunshot wounds. The truck where Kerr was in was within a short distance from the residence on Sandy Farm Rd. Mason was later pronounced dead after being transported to the Baltimore Washington Medical Center. Autopsies showed that both men died from gunshots wounds. Families of both men were notified of their deaths.

The details of the case are still under in-vestigation. The police believed that this is an isolated incident, and there is no threat to public safety. The police later found

suspected crack cocaine, heroin, powder cocaine, marijuana, and other controlled dangerous substances inside the residence where the shooting occurred. The law en-forcement also recovered a digital scale, $6,140 and a loaded 12 gauge Mossberg shotgun.

John Matthew Garrison, 52, resides at the residence on 7600 block of Sandy Farm Rd. and was charged with multiple ac-counts including possession of cocaine and possession of a firearm in relation to a drug trafficking crime.

This is a fluid and active investigation. The Anne Arundel County Police are urging anyone with information to come forward by calling the Anne Arundel County Police Homicide Unit at 410-222-4731. If people with information wish to remain anonymous, they can contact the Anne Arundel County Police Tip Line at 410-222-4700 or Metro Crime Stoppers.

The day after Father’s Day, I had to tell my husband that our grandson, Dustin Wood, 33, died in Tallahassee, Florida. In 44 years of marriage, this was the hardest thing I ever had to do.

Dustin tried to detox himself over two days in order to have an artificial eye put in place and, most important, to be free of al-cohol. He lost the use of that eye after sus-taining many explosions while serving two tours each as a Marine in both Iraq and Af-ghanistan. He came back as a Sergeant but also with PTSD, detached retinas, alcohol-ism and, most likely, brain complications. He suffered headaches, had horrendous nightmares and never spoke optimistically about his future. He was a member of the first Wounded Warrior class. We almost lost him two years ago when his liver failed due to alcohol poisoning. He was saved by the doctors at the Gainesville Veterans Hospital.

If your family has sustained such a loss, we now understand your pain. Dustin’s

parents have now buried their oldest son. We have to endure this loss as a family. Dustin had so much promise but he took a path that left him little hope. He wanted so badly to go to college and have a happy life. He is now in a better place with his fellow Marines and all other men and women who have given their lives for our country.

Dustin had a life well lived. He was a good Marine and proud of it. Ten of his Marine brothers came from all over the United States to attend his funeral and pay him the ultimate honor. He loved his fam-ily and his friends. He was a hunter, a fish-erman, and loved bull riding.

No matter whether you have relatives who have experienced these symptoms or not, please give all your loving support to the men and women who serve us faith-fully and help them to have lives well lived.

As the College of Southern Maryland Foundation’s Golf Classic enters its 25th year, the CSM Foundation and the event’s Grand Tournament Sponsor, Marrick Homes, have much to celebrate, including a long history of partnerships that have im-pacted hundreds of students.

Over its lifetime, this signature event has brought together golf enthusiasts, col-lege alumni, community leaders and the

business community to raise more than $700,000 for scholarships for CSM credit and non-credit students as well as for CSM athletic programs.

This year’s event will be held Thursday, Aug. 18, at Swan Point Yacht & Country Club in Issue, which has hosted every clas-sic since the tournament began. Sponsors and golfers are invited to join the founda-tion and Marrick Homes as they continue

their efforts to support these vital scholar-ships and athletic programs.

2016 also marks the 15th year Marrick Homes has been the lead sponsor of the Golf Classic. Marrick Homes has pledged to be a Grand Tournament Sponsor for the next four years. “Marrick is proud to be a supporter of the CSM golf tournament for the 15th consecutive year,” said Rick Bai-ley Jr., Marrick Homes vice president. “We make the commitment to CSM because of the great educational service CSM pro-vides to Southern Maryland.”

This year, tournament organizers are ex-cited that state Sen. Thomas “Mac” Mid-dleton of the college’s Class of 1966 will be the honorary guest. Middleton will cel-ebrate the 50th anniversary of his gradua-tion from the college during the homecom-ing-themed golf tournament.

“The education I received at the college has provided me, as well as countless oth-ers, with a lifetime of opportunities,” the senator said.

“From a statewide perspective, I see the college as one of the best entities of the Maryland community college system,” Middleton said. “CSM means so much to the community. This golf tournament is a way to bring the citizens and business community together in a fun way to show support for an institution that is a source of pride for the entire Southern Maryland region.”

Other CSM alumni and former athletes from the college are expected to attend as well.

Check-in and continental breakfast will begin at 7:30 a.m. Aug. 18, with a shotgun start for golfers at 9 a.m. The tournament will use the cap-tain’s choice format. Lunch and refreshments will be provided on the course. A dinner and si-lent auction will begin at 3 p.m. There will be closest-to-the-pin and longest drive contests for men and women.

Those who want to join in the festivities but would prefer not to golf in the tournament may wish to try out the Sip and Swing for an IMPACT. Par-ticipants looking to improve or familiarize themselves with the game of golf can enjoy a relaxed day of golf instruction paired with a wine tasting. Check-in will begin at 11:15 a.m., fol-lowed by a wine and food tast-ing at 11:30 a.m. At 1 p.m., there will be interactive clinics that feature putting, chipping and full-swing techniques. Sip and Swing participants will join the

other golfers for dinner and a silent auction later in the day.

“Sponsors and golfers are needed to help make an impact in the community and in the lives of CSM’s students. Supporting the golf tournament is a great way to show your support for CSM and the Southern Maryland region,” said Nancy Hempstead, CSM Foundation golf committee chair.

“Your participation provides opportuni-ties that transforms our community and im-pacts our students and families. We strive to increase the financial stability, prosper-ity and cultural welfare of our community. Our goal this year is to raise $60,000 with the ultimate goal to help every resident of Southern Maryland who wishes to attend CSM the ability to do so,” Hempstead said.

Sponsors will gain exposure for their businesses at the tournament where more than 200 golfers, community leaders, vol-unteers and students will be present. Also, sponsors’ company names will be dis-played on print materials, electronic and social media campaigns.

There are several levels of sponsorships available. With top-tier sponsorships, com-panies will have scholarships created in their names. There also is an Alumni Row, where former CSM graduates may pur-chase signs with their names and their year of graduation on them. The signs are dis-played at the tournament. Proceeds from Alumni Row will benefit the CSM Alumni Scholarship.

Cobia are in the lower bay from the Mid-dle Grounds, the Target Ship, Smith point and down to the Cut Channel. These big sub-tropical fish have invaded the bay in numbers not seen in decades. Savvy an-glers are sight casting to them (big buck-tail jigs), chumming and chunking them up, and trolling big spoons and surgical eels. The cobia have been in the area for several weeks and some captains have caught as many as 20 or so, but the gen-eral public is just finding out about this bonanza of rare fish. Chumming has been the most consistent method with frozen chum logs providing the source for many, but grinding your own fresh is superior, or buying fresh ground at Buzz’s Marina at the head of St. Jerome’s Creek. Fresh

alewives is the bait and chunking mate-rial. The fish will go crazy for live eels and the bait shops will try to offer them soon. Rockfish are up the Patuxent eager to hit cast lures in the early morning and late eve-ning all up and down the shoreline. Top water lures (poppers like Atoms and You-zuri), crank baits (Bomber wind cheaters, Rebels, etc) and bucktails ans sassy shads will all bring strikes. The rockfish can also be found schooled up from Sheridan Point to marker 18 in the deep and will hit jigged lures (Lil’ Bunkers by Specialized Baits are terrific). These rockfish have to be hunted up and if no action occurs after 20 or so casts in one location, move to the next, sooner or later you will hit pay dirt. The bite from Deale to the bay bridge and

further north is still terrific for rockfish. Trolling and jigging

is what’s happen i ng there; still no spot for live-lining. Croaker and white perch d o m i n a t e the bottom fishing. The croaker are playing hide and seek, but when the tide is right at sunset they will fill your cooler. The 100 foot hole at Point Patience is filled with croaker in broad daylight and if you can get an anchor set and put up with glares from passing boaters in this narrow, heavily traveled area, the 13 to 15 inchers will bite. The croaker come to feed from dusk to dawn in the shallows. The Town Creek Pier has croaker, rockfish,

and white perch at night and sometimes in the noonday heat. Moving tide is essential. The Potomac has plen-

ty of croaker, perch, and rockfish. The catfishing is great in both the Patuxent and Potomac in the upper regions. From Benedict to the Chalk Point Power Plant the catfish are very cooperative. Plenty of catfish are stretched out from the Wicomi-co River off the Potomac to Mallows Bay. The creeks in the Patuxent and Potomac are loaded with perch now and will bite small spinner baits, crank baits, and small spoons. The Nungesser spoon and shad dart tandem lure system is a winner. Peeler crab and bloodworms will bring instant re-sluts for bottom fishermen.

Mattinglys Have Turned Tragedy To Hope For OthersBy Guy LeonardStaff Writer

For the past 17 years Stephen and Shirley Mattingly have lived with the loss of their son, who was born with Down syndrome and died after complications from a brave battle with leukemia.

But the small business owners have used their pain to help others with special needs children, so they don’t have to suffer the way their son Stephen Mattingly II had to.

Each year since the death of their son in 1999 they have held a basket bingo to bene-fit a charity fund for special needs children that has raised tens of thousands of dollars each time it’s held.

The Mattingly’s story started 30 years ago.

“The story of us is when we met in 1986, Shirley had a son and I had a daughter,” Ste-phen said. “And then we had Stephen… we didn’t know anything about special needs children, but to us he was just a little boy.”

They quickly became involved in the ARC of Southern Maryland and began to learn what it took to take care of a special

needs child.“He was wonderful, love poured out of

him,” Stephen said.They slowly began to accept that their

son could do just about anything, it would just take longer for him to learn.

“Every milestone was a real accomplish-ment for him,” Shirley said.

For six years they had a joyous time rais-ing him and then they got the news that no parent wants to hear, their son was diag-nosed with leukemia.

A six year old boy soon began three years of arduous chemotherapy and medi-cines designed to rid him of the cancer and the Mattingly’s said that their son almost made it.

“No one thought he’d come out of that but he did,” Stephen said. “We never thought he wasn’t going to make it.”

They were prepared to receive good news after on doctor’s visit but were met with the realization that their son’s cancer had come back; during another chemotherapy

session when his intravenous connection was being flushed he picked up an infection and it quickly spread throughout his body. “He just said ‘neck hurts,’” Stephen said, and their son soon slipped into a coma and never came out.

“We were absolutely in shock but we said we cannot let his memory go by the way-side,” Stephen said.

The Mattinglys navigated the tragedy of their son’s death and quickly started the memorial fund in just about a year.

Shirley said the pain was difficult to deal with but they continued on despite it.

They were surprised at the level of support they got in the aftermath of their son’s death, but their high profile in the community meant that Stephen was well known and loved.

“A lot of people don’t know what to say at a time like that, so they don’t say any-thing,” Shirley said, adding that they were the constant recipients of sympathy cards.

“I didn’t realize he had touched so many lives,” she said.

The first basket bingo event brought in more than $10,000 dollars that first year, more than they expected to get.

Since then they’ve raised well over $100,000, Shirley said, to benefit special

needs children.They even give out scholarships to

people who have helped special needs children or who are studying to eventu-ally help educate them.

“These are the compassionate people we want to reward,” Shirley said. “It’s never about their disability, it’s about their ability.

“With Stephen it didn’t matter what he was trying to do, as long as he got there.”

Though they only had a short and tur-bulent time to spend with their son, he made such an impact in their lives and the lives of others that they say that his life has helped to shape and define theirs.

Stephen said of all his experiences, in-cluding being a combat infantryman with the U.S. Army in Vietnam, knowing his son was the greatest of all of them.

“The thing that makes me the person I am, it was my life with him,” Stephen said.

The Mattinglys say that it’s the people of St. Mary’s County that have brought the success of their charity and the carry-ing on of their son’s memory.

“And we couldn’t do it without the community,” Shirley said. “It’s the same people that keep coming every year.”

The basket bingo for Stephen’s Fund is the only fundraiser event the organiza-tion holds all year and it takes place every Nov. 1.

calvART Gallery Presents: ATMOSPHERESPrince Frederick Shopping Center (Rt. 4 and 231, Prince Frederick) - Wednesday to Sunday: 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.Five Artists share their visions in clay. Fea-turing works by Ray Bogle, Denise Breit-burg, Marie Estabrook, Randy Estabrook, and Adam Sampson. June 8 to July 3, 2016. Reception: June 11, 5 to 8 p.m. This show is shaping up to be a great show with many non-traditional clay forms, vessels and firing techniques. The artists are excited about their work and are eager to share their visions with the public. Ray Bogle has been working with clay for over 25 years. His creations range from dramatic show-specific works to fun personal designs. His contributions to the craft have included teaching classes for children as well as adults, developing a variety of forms and glazes, and perfecting techniques in the ancient skill of Raku. Denise Breitburg is a marine biologist at the Smithsonian En-vironmental Research Center with a deep passion for the beauty and the complexity of the natural world. She says, “Everything about pottery is magical – from the hyp-notic spin of the potters wheel, to the trans-formation of a shapeless lump to a graceful shape, to the mystery of colors appearing in the heat of the kiln.” Marie and Randy Estabrook are a married couple sharing the same passion for clay. “This is our creative outlet- Randy and I make beautiful ceram-ic art that reflects the designs and patterns

of the natural world,” said Marie. Adam Sampson is a our newest member and we can’t wait to see what he produces for this show! Come join us for the opening recep-tion where you can meet the artists, see their work and enjoy appetizers and bev-erages. For more information, go to www.calvartgallery.org, or call 410-535-9252.

Thursday, July 14, 2016The County Times28 Contributing Writers

Recent sports headlines have been domi-nated by an all-star NBA forward from Maryland. No, not the ‘Skins fan from Prince George’s County. Oh he’s gotten plenty of run after snubbing the Wizards, crushing dreams in Oklahoma City and inking a deal with the Golden State War-riors, the NBA’s first non-LeBron-James Evil Empire in years. Pause The Kevin Durant Chronicles for a moment; a former resident of Baltimore, the land of orange, purple and Natty Boh, stirred up far more important publicity last week.

I’m not a fan of New York Knicks for-ward Carmelo Anthony. Yes, he’s a big-time scorer who can flat out drain the or-ange. But he’s an obligatory defender, his effort is questionable and there’s no evi-dence that he makes his teammates better. One dimensional. Generally overrated. Not my cup of tea.

That’s Anthony the player. But Anthony the man and unexpected political activist? That guy has my attention. That guy has my respect. In an overwhelmingly sad week that saw police shoot and kill Phi-lando Castile and Alton Sterling and Micah Johnson kill five officers in Dallas, An-thony took to social media to express his outrage. Here are his paraphrased thoughts (the post is worth reading in its entirety):

“We need to steer our anger in the right direction…towards the system. Shooting 11 cops and killing 5 WILL NOT work…we need to come together more than any-thing at this time. We need each other. I’m calling on my fellow athletes to step up and take charge. There’s NO more sitting back and being afraid of tackling and addressing political issues anymore. THE TIME IS NOW. DEMAND CHANGE.”

When confronted with domestic or in-

ternational turmoil, I often turn to Fa-reed Zakaria’s book “The Post-American World” for solace. In it, Zakaria argues that, by historical comparison, we occu-py a peaceful world, one whose cultural and economic interconnectivity largely mitigates dangerous political discord and ill-intended personal or national ambi-tion. The evidence is convincing: We’ve achieved unprecedented levels of trade and economic prosperity; cultural barri-ers are reduced by travel and information exchange, and; large scale war between superpowers, the kind that results in massive casualties and global instability,

doesn’t exist. Still, with alarmingly frequent terrorist

attacks and senseless killings, it is diffi-cult to remain hopeful in humanity’s grand earthly coexistence, despite Zakaria’s logi-cal, fact-based counterpoints. Human na-ture as it is, it seems that stereotypes will corrupt the small-minded, greed will infect the ambitious and religious zealotry will distort the worship of a god into an instru-ment of pure evil.

The tendency for decent, loving and well-intended individuals is to respond to social calamity by controlling what they can – personal attitudes and actions and the world view of youths they influence – and steadfastly remaining part of the solution. The development of strategies that promote the world’s safety, progressive international relationships and the infrastructure for so-cial fellowship and equality is deferred to a

nation’s leaders, a term often synonymous with politicians.

Given the scope of today’s challenges, that is mostly an understandable and defen-sible reaction. For what happened in Min-nesota, Louisiana and Texas during Amer-ica’s Independence week, it isn’t enough. The world has a common opponent who is terrorizing free, peaceful people around the globe. Yet here we are in America, the allegedly most diverse, open and tolerant nation in the world, struggling with sense-less internal violence. We have to demand better of ourselves, resist shameful stereo-types and appreciate and promote our com-mon humanity.

That is part of Anthony’s point. The added layer is that while sports is a fun, joyous reprieve from the ugliness of every-day life, there comes a time when it should be more. Anthony’s fed up and willing to use his NBA platform to be a change agent; he’s challenging colleagues to do the same. We should all applaud his courageous ac-tivism and stand behind him, Knicks fan or not. Otherwise we’re just individuals left rereading books or returning to other fa-miliar outlets to soothe the pain of the latest crisis and retain hope in our flawed species. For me, Anthony’s crusade is well-time; I need more than Zakaria’s wisdom to main-tain faith in this world. Send comments to [email protected]

WanderingsAimless Mind of an

by Shelby OppermannContributing Writer

If a ladybug lands on you it’s good luck. That’s what I’ve always been told anyway. Well, what if thousands of ladybugs land on you? Should you go buy Mega Millions tickets or bet on a horse? Maybe so. You can have your chance to find out over the weekend at the Grand Opening of Lady-bugs Alive at 37260 Manor Road in Chapti-co! The owner of this venue is Jerry Spence a local farmer and landowner.

And what do you need to attract the la-dybugs, birds, and other insects that chil-dren, and Jerry, seem to adore? You need flowers. So Jerry Spence has planted thou-sands of sunflowers and other blooms to attract all the bugs and birds. And the neat-est thing is that he has created a sunflower

maze – which must be amazing! He said he didn’t want to compete with the other farmers who’ve opened corn mazes, so he started the sunflower maze which is open at a different time of year.

“The Sunflower Maze will occur on Satur-day July 16. Butterflies, birds and blossoms of all types will abound. Admission will be $10 for children and adults over 10 years of age, $5 for children 5 years to 10 years, children under 5 years old free. Hours of operation will be Thursday and Friday 12 noon to 8:30pm. and Saturday and Sunday it›s 10 am to 8:30pm.

Depending on the weather, the peak bloom should occur between July 16 and July 24, with blossoms continuing for sev-

eral weeks thereafter. There should be approximately 15,000 sunflowers bloom-ing by July 16. The butterfly factory is progressing nicely despite a very slow start. The butterfly factory should be in peak bloom by August 6.”

Jerry Spence, as a part of his agricul-tural business called Designer Ag LLC, has created a unique event for lovers of nature in St. Mary’s County – he hopes this will be the start of many such ventures under his Designer Ag business name. He says he wanted to diversify from being a tobacco farmer. Jerry has a geography degree, but seems to have a knack and interest in utiliz-ing farm land in unusual ways. He is a born and bred St. Mary’s Countian, who grew up summers working on his grandfather’s farm in Oakley. His love and concern for the farmlands in our area shows by all the time and effort he has put into his Lady-bugs Alive event. Jerry says, “I›ve always loved to grow things and plan to take that love and apply it to my business, sharing what I can with other gardeners and nature lovers, and sponsoring charitable organiza-tions in the process.”

Currently Jerry is active in support-ing Mother Catherine Academy, the new

school in Mechanicsville, Maryland. “I work with a few other local farmers to sup-port the school’s agricultural laboratory and school garden. They are doing some pretty amazing things there. The children have a fascinating tomato project. They are working on creating a unique tomato cul-tivar that children will enjoy. The project will take between 6 and 10 years to com-plete and this is year one.”

Jerry says, “Thank you in advance for your support of local agriculture and this new venture. Last year was a blast and I›m hopeful this year will be even better. Please check the Ladybugs Alive Facebook page for regular updates.”

Well, I don’t know about you, but right after all those ladybugs land on me, I am running to the nearest store and buying some lottery tickets!
