Guest speaker and CEO of The Strathmore, Eliot Pfanstiehl (left), and LSM Executive Director Karen Holcomb greet Class of 2013 graduate Bob Schaller (right) during a graduation ceremony held last month.
Many, throughout Southern Maryland, have been celebrating the proud graduates in their lives during recent weeks. Earning that diploma or that degree is a pivotal point in any graduates life and serves as a springboard to their future endeavors. For this years graduates of Leadership Southern Marylands regional ninemonth leadership program, the Class of 2013, the celebration is one of both personal achievement and regional enrichment. The network of informed leaders continues to strengthen as the program finishes its fifth year. On May 3, a commencement ceremony was held at Chesapeake Beach Resort and Spa in Calvert County and the following graduates, from throughout the tri-county area, were honored:
Douglas Alves Martina Arnold Dawn Barrett Carmen Belen Amie Bothwell Leland Bradshaw Robin Burt Rebekah Carmichael Tania Dawson John Felicitas Anne Forrest Glenn Frank Rhiana Haney Louis Hari Charles Jackson Gladys Jones Holly Kellogg Kristina Moore Donna Nestor Gregory Olson Edward Otten Christopher Oursler Kory Raftery Timothy Renz Robert Schaller Stephanie Simm Jonathan Sola Jacqueline Vaughn Kenneth Waldrop Lori Werrell Cheryl Wyatt
Photos by Alex Clarke Leadership Southern Marylands Class of 2013 is the fifth group to graduate the prestigious nine -month program. These 32 individuals are now part of a network of alumni, which celebrates leadership, service and mentoring throughout the region and understands the power of the collaborative spirit.
After selection for the Leadership Southern Maryland program, the Class of 2013 engaged with recognized leaders and delved into many pertinent regional issues such as energy and the environment, agriculture, housing and human services, public safety, economic and workforce development, education, technology and defense industry, community health and diversity. Through a series of workshops and behind-thescenes visits to important facilities in the region, the group gained a greater understanding of their community and learned of the need for leadership development and collaboration in a multitude of areas.
The ceremony featured guest speaker Eliot Pfanstiehl, CEO of The Strathmore and long-time facilitator of Leadership Marylands core program, who has become an integral part of the Leadership Southern Maryland program as well. Matt Scassero, a Leadership Maryland graduate, founding board member, past president and member of LSMs Leadership Council, described Pfanstiehl as an engaging speaker and a man with a wealth of knowledge about the state of Maryland. He explained how Pfanstiehl is there at the beginning of the program to talk to class members about how to get the most out of

their experience and is there at commencement to ask them What now?, encouraging them to apply their leadership skills in their communities in a tangible way. This year, he said, the class members Pfanstiehl put on the spot during the ceremony were able to provide thoughtful and thorough answers. Bert Johnston, current president of LSM, said, Eliot is just a remarkable fellow and a natural leader, able to get into your head in the most wonderful way. Scassero and Johnston shared the sentiment that Pfanstiehls connection to LSM is of great benefit for both the program itself and the participants who are able to learn from him. Members of the Class of 2013 shared some thoughts about completing the regional leadership program during the graduation ceremony, many acknowledging the friendships formed and memories made along the way. I have been enlightened, educated and, at times, entertained. Now that I have experienced so much during this journey, I am forced out of my bubble and compelled to do more within my community, shared Martina Arnold, Development Director at the College of Southern Maryland. CPA and partner with Askey, Askey & Associates Glenn Frank stated, The program opened my eyes to the prevailing cooperative spirit that strives to bring balance and reinforcement to our communitys values. I am always amazed to find out how much I still don't know about this region that has been my professional and personal home for over 17 years, said Director of Health Connections

at MedStar St. Marys Hospital Lori Werrell. I learned something in every session that I can use in my work and gained a network of colleagues I hope to continue to be in contact with long after this experience is over. LSM has equipped me with an abundance of knowledge, long lasting friendships, and a long list of things that I want to do to give back to the community, stated Kristina Moore, Director of Human Resources for The Arc of Southern Maryland. I will truly be thankful for all the laughs, all the tears, all the experiences, and the footprints made on my heart, she added. Several others commented on the groups many shared eye-opening experiences and their newly-sparked personal interests in volunteering and getting more involved in beneficial community and regional projects. Scassero stated, I continue to be impressed by the great participants we find year after year. For the fifth year, the Leadership Southern Maryland program has brought together a group of individuals from various educational and professional backgrounds and created a strong, connected network of leaders who will apply the leadership skills theyve gained in dynamic ways that will benefit both their respective communities and the region as a whole, said LSMs Executive Director Karen Holcomb.

Arturo Vicente Leon III, 30, was arrested and charged June 8 with propositioning an undercover Baltimore City detective who had been posing as a 14-year-old girl on line. Leon tendered his resignation June 14, said Gregory Nourse, assistant secretary for finance and human resources. Despite his resignation, Leon will still receive four more paychecks from the system because he had served out the entirety of the school year per his contract. When Leon was confronted by Baltimore City detectives about the chat room conversations he had, he told them that he was responsible for the online missives but said he had never engaged in that behavior at school, court papers stated. Nourse said Leon had never had any complaints lodged against him
from students or parents. The only good thing [about the investigation] was it wasnt one of our kids, Nourse said. Leon was hired by the school system back in Oct. 2006. He faces charges of soliciting sex from a minor and displaying lewd material to a minor; he was released on bond the same day after his arrest. guyleonard@countytimes.net

To The Editor
Celebrating family on these summer holidays or any day is always a special day. However, all holidays are tough days for many. While millions celebrate others wonder about what might have been. Some have lost a child while others made tragic decisions to end a life. Abortion issad and heartbreaking. I oppose abortion. I do not believe many people want to go through with an abortion.Over the years I've known many people who have looked back at an abortion with heartbreak and grief. My first wife and I had a stillborn baby. He would have been our third son. We named him Jesse Caleb.We were told justhours before the delivery was scheduled that there was no heartbeat. The baby would be delivered but he would be dead. I sat for about three hours in the delivery room and held beautiful Jesse Caleb. He looked perfect. However, the umbilical cord had gotten a kink in it, cutting off the oxygen supply and ending his life. At that time, I had never wept or grieved any harder than I did at the loss of my beautiful

Abortion

child. Losing Jesse made me so very grateful formy two sons Jared and Zachary. Todaythey are both grown men serving in our military. As I held my child I could never have dreamed of killing him prior to his birth. I do not believe anyone holding a newborn baby would decide to kill that baby. However, many have made the decision to terminate a pregnancy. Most often they are in need of counseling, emotional support, forgiveness and hope. Years earlier we lost twins. Karen was about three months pregnant at the time. Things were going wrong with the pregnancy and she was bleeding. The doctor said things were not good and a D&C was necessary. This was a decision that was made between our family and the doctor. What if someone from the county or even the Federal Government had to be consulted before the D&C took place? We were obviously miscarrying the babies. A government official could have delayed the procedure, wanted more information, said no or said yes. I do not believe the Federal Government or any government official should be involved in this process. I do not believe in abortion as a form of birth control. However, I do believe that decisions concerning pregnancies and abortions must be made between the mother, the family, and the doctor. Women and couples make decisions to abort that are later regretted with more sorrow and emotional scars. For many years I served as a pastor and heard many sorrowful stories from women who had abortions and greatly regretted them. There are cases that involve the mother's health. There are the cases that involve rape and incest. In these types of cases, decisions must be made between the mother, the family, physician and counselor.

But the truth is that burning all of the pipeline's deliveries will have no measurable effect on global climate according to official climate models. Critics also claim the pipeline would damage a water aquifer beneath Nebraska. But Keystone's planned pathway has been specifically rerouted to avoid such an outcome. And the pipeline has been fully approved by the relevant Nebraskan authorities. The Administration's decision not to approve Keystone was clearly a deep bow to radical environmentalists. Fully 53 Senators from both parties are urging the White House to approve the project. Ironically, blocking the pipeline promises to increase, not decrease, global carbon emissions. If Canada cannot sell its oil to the United States, it will market to China. And China is not subject to the same restrictions on energy use and emissions as facilities here in the United States. China's refineries generate significantly higher volumes of emissions than American ones. Blocking Keystone XL is an affront to America's energy consumers and energy producers. That insult would, unfortunately, add to Obama's war on coal, push to federalize hydraulic fracturing, and wasted "green energy" handouts for the wind, solar, ethanol, and electric car industries. The Obama Administration should stand up to those special-interest groups more concerned with fundraising than good global citizenship. America's middle class should truly come first with a permit to build. Robert L.

By Alex Panos Staff Writer Local author John Deckelmann recently published the first story in his series of books, featuring love, war and mythical creatures. The book, titled The Legends of Capia, is set in a fictional world in an environment similar to ancient Rome. In the series opener, the main character, in a country that is under the control of an oppressive empire, eventually rises to the throne. To make matters more complicated, she falls in love with a general who, ironically, is the same person that takes part in a battle with, and eventually captures, her father. This begins what Deckelmann called a series of events that ultimately lead her to interact with the nightcrawlers a mythical vampire-like species. The book is similar to many popular mythical themed television and book series that have grown popular over the last decade, such as the Twilight Series, Game of Thrones, Harry Potter, The Walking Dead and a large number of super hero themed movies. Deckelmann, who resides in California, Md., says his series brings a new element to the

By Doug Watson Contributing Writer Budds Creek, MD- Severna Park Md.s Kyle Lear scored his first feature win of the season in last Friday nights 20-lap Limited Late Model headliner at Potomac speedway. The win for Lear, the 14th of his Potomac career, made him the fourth different winner in the Limited Late Model ranks at the track this season. Class rookie Jimmy Jesmer Jr. and Kyle Lear shared the front-row for the start of the event. Lear made the most of his good fortune as he shot into the race lead at the drop of the green flag. Fourth-starting Ryan Hackett slid into second on lap-3 and set his sights on Lear. The duo waged a furious battle over the final 17-laps, but Lear would hold tough to score the win. This is a great way to start the weekend. Lear stated in Potomacs victory lane. Our car was pretty good tonight because we were able to run on the top or bottom. Lear stated. It feels pretty good to finally get our first win of the season. Superb track conditions aided in Lears winning run. The track was real racy tonight. Said Lear. Anytime the track has two grooves, as a racer, you have nothing to complain about. Daryl Hills, who

At this presentation, hosted by the Garvey Senior Activity Center on Tuesday, June 25 at 11:00 a.m. and presented by Hearing Professionals and Gateau Physical Therapy, participants will learn more about specific vestibular disorders in older adults, precautions, and ways to improve balance.

him. The injured party is still in a dangerous condition and doubts are entertained of his recovery. On Saturday night last, a Negro named Somerset Hebb stabbed and instantly killed his brother, in a family broil, to defend his own life, he states, from a murderous attack by the deceased.

Then in 1873 he was elected as County Commissioner; in 1885 he was appointed postmaster of the St. Clements Bay post office (he resigned in 1887); and in 1891 he was elected as Register of Wills.

Sitting around all summer wouldve been so wrong. And thats why you found a job that year between classes. No more parental hand-outs, no more wearing clothes your mom bought you, no more borrowing the car. With your own job, you had your own money to buy your own things, maybe help out at home, or sock some away. Finding work, yep, was the right thing to do. For then-15-year-old Sheri Booker, the savings from her very unique job went towards college. In her new memoir, Nine Years Under, she explains why it was a job shed been dying to get. Fifteen-year-old Sheri Booker felt ignored by God. She didnt realize that hospice care was the beginning of the end, so when her Great-GreatAunt Mary died of cancer, Booker was surprised and lost. Growing up in Northeast Baltimore, she had few heroes. Aunt Mary was one of them, but Booker didnt feel like she had permission to mourn. She didnt feel like going to church, either, but her parents insisted. It was there that Booker ran into one of the churchs deacons, Mr. Albert Wylie, who also owned one of Baltimores many AfricanAmerican funeral homes. He didnt ask her how she was handling her loss. Instead, he offered her a job. For four hours a night, a few nights a week, Booker answered the phones and the door at Albert P. Wylie Funeral Home. She thought it might be weird, but it wasnt
it was interesting, and she did her work well. Soon, she was assisting with viewings and she learned her first lesson: never let clients see you cry. But that was difficult. Witnessing the grief of families who lost someone elderly was hard enough. Wylie Funeral Home also did a brisk business with the citys poor, the gang-bangers and drug addicts. Still, it was a job Booker enjoyed and soon, she started doing errands for Mr. Wylie. Then she did paperwork, filing, and bookwork. Eventually, she dressed bodies and assisted as much as she legally could. She became an honorary member of the Wylie family for nine happy years, but in work as in life - all good things must come to an end Looking for something with a great plot? Something different, delightful, but a little dark? Then you need Nine Years Under. With knowledge, a willingness to disclose, and a good amount of humor, author Sheri Booker not only shares the story of her tenure as a funeral home assistant and the duties she assumed, she also gives readers a sense of what goes on behind closed doors there. She weaves this information some of which is graphic in with observations on mourners, neighbors, and the industry as a whole. I loved that Booker finds a certain amount of comedy in death and preparing for its rituals, and her musings on funerals are priceless. This is a wonderful, wonderful book that sounds squirmy, yet is anything but. So grab Nine Years Under because if you think youll like it, youre dead right.

featured predominantly bluegrass music. When Mattingly took over as coordinator, he decided to take the event up a notch and make it a charity event. Its the same concept, Mattingly explained of the social atmosphere he has replicated with the new version of the festival, adding his changes have instead been focused on raising money for local charities. Now we try to make it a little more personable. Last year around 600 people showed up for the festival, and this year through additional promotion and word of mouth, Mattingly is hoping for 800 to 1,000 patrons. Im hearing a lot more buzz about it this year than I did last [year], Mattingly said. He is looking forward to the community atmosphere that will be present throughout the day, adding everybody knows everybody in Seventh District. The festival will be held at Seventh District Optimist Field, located just before the fire department and American Legion. The car show kicks off at 11 a.m., and music begins at 2 p.m. Mattingly says the show will wind down around 10 p.m. Tickets are available online for $10, or at the gate on Saturday for $15.

A Week of Surprises
By Shelby Oppermann Contributing Writer
Oh boy, its the start of birthday week again! My husbands birthday was Tuesday, and mine will be Saturday. I used to get so excited, but now its more of a nice night out to eat dinner though a cookout is fine with me too. My husband gets a double whammy with Fathers Day on Sunday and his birthday two days later every year. His daughter, Michelle, and two of our grandkids, Leigha and Logan took him out for crabs at Seabreeze Restaurant. Not a bad Fathers Day. I took the opportunity while my husband was out having crabs Sunday evening to have a quick bite at somewhere where he normally wouldnt eat. It was another one of those achy days, and I didnt want to cook for myself, so Tidbit and I went to the AJ Hibachi Express in Charlotte Hall near Tequila Grill and Aprils Pool and Spa. I love Japanese cuisine, so this was a treat. The restaurant smelled heavenly when I walked in. I ordered the steak and scallop combination, which comes with a salad, soup and fried rice. I always like the YumYum and ginger dipping sauces. I had an enjoyable time talking to my server Tina, whose husband, Jim, along with his brother, Andy make up the AJ in the name AJ Hibachi. Andy is the sushi master and Jim is the griller. I have yet to try their sushi, but the grilling was perfect. Tina was so kind; we showed each other pictures mine of the grandkids, and she of their 4 month old cute baby. Tina also sent me out with a nice bowl of water for Miss Tidbit, and showed me how to use the chopsticks properly. I finally got it! When I asked her how you can pick up the rice with the chopsticks, and made a comment that this is why she was so thin, she replied, We use a spoon for the rice. Oh, that explains it. Another employee, Ye was ever so attentive; your table is kept picked up and neat. And I think if you ask Tina, she will show you the picture of Jims carved watermelon that looks just like a turtle what a great centerpiece for an event. I was also told that they will be making new, big changes on their menu soon. I cant wait! I must admit, we actually already started birthday week a little early. Saturday night we traveled over to Ingleside Plantation Winery in Leedstown, Virginia for their Dancing under the stars night set in their beautiful courtyard. If you havent been there, it takes about an hour or less to get there from Mechanicsville and you feel like you are really far away. Their courtyard is surrounded by trees and grapevine intertwined with tiny white lights. In the center sits a soothing three tiered fountain with geraniums and violets at the base. I love finding a table near the fountain. On Saturday night, the musical entertainment was provided by the Rappahannock Pops Orchestra, and dinner was catered by The Inn at Montross. The meal was absolutely delicious. I am still amazed that my husband agreed so readily to an evening of jazz and big band music. But, once they threw Marvin Gaye and Al Green into the mix he was even happier. We stayed the night in Colonial Beach, and happily awoke to a Fathers Day classic car show. If this was the start of birthday week then I am in excited anticipation for tomorrow and Saturday. Sam Grow, No Green Jelly Beenz here we come!!
