Buehler Family Eases out of St. Leonard Businesses
Both Market and Liquor Store are Being Sold
By Dick Myers
Editor
For the first time in more than 60 years there won’t
be a Buehler family-owned business operating on Main
Street in St. Leonard. The grocery store business start-
ed by Pat Buehler’s mother Bertie and carried on by
him and joined later by his daughter Maria is in the
process of being sold.
Buehler, a former county commissioner, told the Cal-
vert County Board of License Commissioners (liquor
board) at their July 26 meeting that he was selling the
majority control of the liquor license he has held for 53
years, since he turned 21 years of age.
That license is for Buehler Package Goods that sits
next to Buehler’s Market, the iconic grocery store start-
ed by his mother. In recent years the market building
has been owned by his daughter, Maria and leased to
another operator. Pat Buehler owned the liquor store
building and he and Maria operated it.
That is all about to change. The two buildings and
the two businesses have been sold to a company called
St. Leonard Libations, LLC, which is owned by Danny
Patel; who owns 17 or 18 stores in the region, according
to Pat Buehler He said the size of Patel’s operation will
give him the buying power that a small business like he
and Maria ran did not have.
Buehler told the liquor board that he will continue
to work at the store during the transition and that no
changes are anticipated for either the liquor store or the
market. Buehler will retain 10 percent of the liquor li-

cense and Patel’s sister-in-law Geetaben, will hold 90 i
percent. The woman does not speak English and she
required translation by the young man who will eventu-
ally be managing the store.
Maria Buehler, who is also a member of the Calvert
County Planning Commission, told The County Times
that she intends to go back to school and pursue her
master’s degree. She holds an undergraduate degree
from George Mason University.
As for her father, Pat says he intends to continue to
come into the stores to assist. On Monday, he said he
had come in at 6:30 to help open the store. He lives
close by. “I’ll be around,” he said. Buehler has lived in
St. Leonard all his life and at one time lived above the
grocery store.
When The County Times interviewed Pat and Ma-
ria Buehler last October for a front-page feature, Pat
was suffering from Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary
Disease (COPD), which required him to carry around
an oxygen tank. When he appeared before the liquor
board, he appeared trim and healthy He said that was
the result of a recent operation and that he is feeling
fine.
During the liquor board meeting, member Jack
Smack told Parel, “You have big shoes to fill.” That’s
something the Buehler’s regular customers for genera-
tions know first-hand.

State Auditor Cites Circuit
Court Clerk’s Office
Officials Agree to Changes
By Dick Myers
Editor
For the second time recently, the Office of
Legislative Audits of the Maryland Department
of Legislative Services has cited the office of an
elected Calvert County official. This time it was
the Office of Clerk of the Circuit Court of Cal-
vert County. Kathy Smith is the elected clerk.
The perceived problem was contained in a let-
ter from Legislative Auditor Thomas Barnickel,
II to the legislature’s Joint Audit Committee. Clerk of the Circuit Court Kathy
Smith
Barnickel wrote in the letter dated July 23: “Our
audit disclosed that land transfer transactions which totaled approximately $5.1 mil-
lion during fiscal year 2017, were not always subject to independent verification in
accordance with the Office’s procedure.”
In the same letter, Barnickel also noted a response from the judiciary to the find-
ings. A letter dated July 9 from Smith and State Court Administrator Pamela Harris
quickly conceded the findings and promised changes.
Their letter said, “We agree with the recommendation. Our policy has always been
that the Supervisor of Land Records, with assistance from Lead Workers when nec-
essary, would randomly test and record transactions for accuracy in collection of
fees and taxes, and keep a log of those reviews. Except during staff shortages, the
Supervisor is never a cashier. When the Supervisor needs to be a cashier, she has her
security rights changed. We agree with the recommendation that the review should
be done more often, and that extra care should be taken to ensure that the test review
of a document is never performed by the same person who was the initial cashier.”
Smith, a Democrat, has been Clerk of the Circuit Court for 20years. She is unop-
posed in the November general election and had no primary opponents.

Cable TV Channel Showcases Calvert County Again

Chesapeake Beach Renovation Featured
By Dick Myers
Editor
For the second time in less than
two weeks, Calvert County’s wa-
terfront will be on display for a
national audience. As reported
in The Calvert County Times
last week, a family’s search for
a vacation and weekend getaway
was featured on the HGTV show
“Beachfront Bargain Hunt.” The
couple and their two boys settled
on a home in Long Beach, St.
Leonard.
Now, on Saturday, August 4
at 10 p.m., another show with a
similar premise, “Beachfront
Bargain Hunt Renovation” will
spotlight a renovation project be-
ing done on a Chesapeake Beach
home owned by Melanie Mon-
tague. The house is located at
2713 27th Street.
Montague is a realtor with

Annapolis. She also renovates
homes, having done 10 in South-
organizations
ern Maryland in the past few
years. A while ago Montague
notified HGTV that she would be
willing to participate on a show.
They contacted her as a real es-
tate agent asking if she had any
clients who were renovating. She
said no, but by the way she was
doing one herself. “We thought it
would be a cool experience, kind
of fun,” Montague said about
quickly agreeing to doing the
show.
The show, like its first cousin
“Beachfront Bargain Hunt” fea-
tures the search for a house, but
in this case one in need of reno-
vation., The episode with Mon-
tague will show her looking at
other houses that would be rep-
resentative of her original search.
Montague explained that film-
ing of the one-hour show began
last October with a three-hour
session that shows the beginning
of the renovation, Then, crews
returned about once a month fol-
lowing different subcontractors
doing different parts of the job.
Montague knows from experi-
ence that renovation can be a
challenge, with many unknowns
ahead at the start.
As the show will highlight, and
as the pictures accompanying this
story show, the renovation of the
home two blocks from the Chesa-
peake Bay turned out quite well.
The home is having a new lease
on life as a vacation rental. Mon-
tague said it has been rented the
majority of the time this summer.
Montague is getting ready to
jump right back in with another After the renovation.
major renovation project, an old
farmhouse on Route 231. The
first step was hiring some goats
from a nearby farmer to eat the
underbrush.
Because the show this Satur-
day doesn’t start until 10 p.m. ,
Montague isn’t planning a view-
ing party. Instead, she is taping it
and is planning a future viewing
party at the Brick Bistro in Prince
Frederick.

cal event. But, covering things is my
job. Covering things is the responsi-
bility of the news media, and espe-
cially community newspapers who
seem to be the only ones left, some-
times, to do the job.
I can assure you that many times I
would rather not go to a school board
meeting, attend a groundbreaking or
watch a county commissioner meet-
ing. All of those events are likewise
the responsibility of community
newspapers like The County Times
and reporters like yours truly.
As I am writing this no one from
the Hogan campaign has called to
apologize for not telling me I wasn’t
welcome and save me a trip to St.
Leonard on a summer Saturday and
putting a big hole in my weekend
plans. I’ll get over that.
What I won’t get over is the ut-
ter disregard for the citizens of
Southern Maryland that the Hogan
campaign has in adopting the news
media ban. The point is we aren’t at
these events for our own amusement.
We are there as a surrogate for ev-
eryone else who is unable to attend.
There were many Hogan support-
ers who either couldn’t make such
an event on a Saturday or even were
out of town on vacation. Still others
couldn’t afford the $50 price tag for
if they aren’t in the same elected
body, to have an open meeting of the
gathering.
We believe Gov. Hogan, maybe
unintentionally, created a situation
where the area’s elected officials,
also unbeknownst to them, broke
state law by attending.
Just to make sure we were fair
about this, we contacted the Ben
Jealous campaign and were in-
formed at least for now, reporters
are also being barred from fund-
raising events. This is particularly
curious to us because Jealous is the
obvious underdog and needs all the
coverage he can get.
We think it is also hypocritical
for Hogan and Jealous to be mak-
ing comments about freedom of the
press and the importance of commu-
nity journalism in the wake of the
tragedy at the Capital/Gazette and
then turn around almost in the same
breath and say, sorry reporters, you
aren’t welcome.
So, for those of you who are tired
of politics anyway, don’t worry. For
now, at least you really don’t’ have
to think about it, according to Ho-
gan and Jealous.

with the Maryland State Police, Barrack
“U” and the Calvert Sheriff’s Office, this

to join together to promote the best of
their neighborhoods and encourage part-
nerships with local law enforcement and
other agencies.
Currently, 27 communities will par-
ticipate in the August 7 event. They

commu-
n it y-wide
event,” stated Kristen DePhillip, Presi-
dent, CAASA Board of Directors.
National Night Out is designed to:
(1) Heighten crime and drug prevention
awareness, (2) Generate support for, and
participation in, local anti-crime efforts,
(3) Strengthen neighborhood spirit and
police-community partnerships, and (4)
Send a message to criminals letting them
know neighborhoods are organized and
fighting back. National Night Out is the
perfect time to meet new neighbors and
interact with local community agencies
and law enforcement. It is a fun night
for everyone to enjoy music, food and
games.
CAASA extends its appreciation to

ployees. He was asked if he felt some relief. He responded, “Hum-
bling. I felt humble to be involved.”
Dominion purchased the Cove Point property on September 5,
2002, and Frederick headed up the transition team and has been in
charge ever since except for several years when he moved to the Rich-
mond headquarters to work on a special project.
Frederick grew up on a farm in south-central Pennsylvania. He
graduated from the University of Pittsburg with a degree in Mechani-
cal Engineering and has been in the natural gas business since 1982.
Working on a truck farm as a teenager taught him a work ethic “and
how to get things accomplished as a team.”
“We were and still are an import facility,” Frederick said about
regular operations continuing while the massive construction project
was underway. During that time, 14 import cargos arrived at the Cove
Point terminal, Frederick said. That importing will continue into the
future for customers such as Washington Gas Light Company.
As for the new exporting business, Frederick said the Indian and
Japanese customers have contracted to purchase 50 percent each of
all that the plant can produce. He said they are now operating at 100
percent capacity, seven days a week.
Frederick said there were numerous challenges during construc-

tion. “The most
important one
was minimizing the impact on our neighbors.” That included an off-
site staging area (which is now being turned over to the county for a
park plus a more than $1 million donation for start-up costs), sched-
uled to minimize traffic on Cove Point Road, keeping the roads clean,
redoing the Little Cove Point Road intersection, and just answering
complaints as they were received.
At its peak there were more than 4,000 workers on site at a time, “so
safety was always paramount,” Frederick said. There were no fatalities
during the three-year construction period and no injuries at all during
2017 and 2018. The injury rate was a tenth of what a typical construc-
tion site would be, he said.
Logistics in general was a huge challenge, Frederick said. “For ex-
ample, at the peak of construction we had 54 cranes operating on 54
acres, which is significant. We were tracking more than 20,000 pipe
spools that were being manufactured at different places because basi-
cally the timing had to work, the trucks had to hit the site, then cranes
had to pick the spool up and put it in place, because it was just that
tight of a construction site. The logistics effort was nothing short of
amazing.”
Frederick credits Dominion’s team working with contractor, Kiewit,
with solving the logistics challenge.
Frederick is proud of creating a diverse worksite at Cove Point.
They’ve hired from around the world, the country and the Tri-County
area. The workforce of more than 200 (not including the contract se-
curity force) is twice what it was just being an importer. They have full
employment but there’s always turnover, so Frederick said prospec-
tive job seekers can go on the Dominon Energy website to find about
openings.
Dominion has also worked with the College of Southern Maryland
to find potential employees with not a lot of experience but “with criti-
cal thinking skills” who they can train on site.
The construction project has had a ripple effect in the business com-
munity. Frederick said he’s received a dozen letters along the line of
“without your project, I don’t think I would be in business.”
Dominion has plans to do more community outreach, including
open houses, but Frederick said they will do it “when we feel the tim-
ing is right”
“We know that getting through the construction phase of this re-
quired some patience from the community,” Frederick noted and
thanked the community for that patience.
About reaching the day of the dedication, Frederick, reflecting Sec-
retary Gill’s observations, said, “It’s a big deal for the local commu-
nity, for the state and the nation. It’s what we have been working for
from a national perspective for a long time.”
And, Energy Secretary Perry said during the dedication ceremony,
“It’s a day to celebrate. It’s a great day for America.”

The Tackle Box Fishing Report

By Ken and Linda Lamb
Contributing Writers

The rain stopped, the sun came out, and the fish went
crazy this past weekend.
Spot, croaker, perch, big red drum, spanish mackerel,
bluefish, flounder and rockfish all got busy feeding this
week.
Spot and croaker are in the mouth of the Patuxent for
bottom fishermen both from boats and the fishing piers.
The Solomons pier had good catches of spot most ev-
ery night this week. There were many nice croaker and
perch too. Boaters found croakers and spot in Kingston
Hollow and from Town Creek to West Basin on the 30 Red Drum caught on Capt. Luke Koller’s charter boat Capt. Damon Williams on the Crack of Dawn scored on the
“Rock Star” drum out of Solomons Islands
foot edge.
The rockfish bite continues to be very good for troll-
ers on the oyster bars in the upper Potomac around
Swan Point and in the Patuxent from Half Pone Point
to Broomes Island. Scattered rockfish are active at dusk
and dawn in the shallows eager to hit most any lure.
Big red drum have been caught by trollers using col-
orful spoons below Cedar Point from outside the Targets
to Hooper’s Island light. Bluefish and spanish mack-
erel are hitting the spoons when the redfish are being
searched for.
Cobia are being chummed and chunked up in the
lower bay. Live eels in the chumline are working well.
There is a good run of crabs underway.
There are plenty of catfish in the upper regions of the
Potomac and Patuxent.
We have seen some really big largemouth bass all
week from ponds and St. Mary’s Lake. Bluegill and shell
crackers are eager for night crawlers or live crickets.

L’il Margaret’s
Bluegrass Festival:
30 Years of Preserving
Bluegrass in SoMD
The annual L’il Margaret’s Bluegrass
and Old Time Musical Festival is honored
to announce it’s been chosen as an offi-
cial “Maryland Summer of Music” event.
This is a new tourism initiative launched
by Governor Larry Hogan that aims to
highlight Maryland’s diverse music scene
over the summer months. L’il Margaret’s
is proud to be chosen as one of just ten
highlighted events to attend in Maryland.
Presented by promoter Jay Armswor-
thy, this year marks the 30th anniversary
of the festival and will be held on Aug. 9,
10, and 11 at one of Southern Maryland’s
“little hidden treasures,” the Goddard
Farm in Leonardtown, MD.
The festival was created by Joseph and
Margaret Goddard to honor their daugh-
ter, ‘L’il Margaret.” Once again, Jay Arm-
sworthy is carrying on that tradition by
bringing twelve of the finest traditional
bluegrass and hillbilly music groups from
New York to Nashville. This is a family-
friendly event and will offer a camping
experience for attendees with hundreds of
electric and water hookups.
Ralph Stanley II & the Clinch Mountain
Boys, Feinberg Brothers, and 15 Strings.
Aug. 10 will feature Dave Peterson &
1946, Farm Hands, Williamson Branch,
and the California Ramblers. The festi-
val will wrap Aug. 11 with Joe Mullins
& the Radio Ramblers, David Parmley
& Cardinal Tradition, Larry Stephen-
son Band, Mickey Galyean & Cullen’s
Bridge, Cousins in Harmony, and a spe-
cial reunion performance of past mem-
bers of the Bluegrass Cardinals, featuring
David Parmley, Larry Stephenson, and
Dale Perry. Troy Jones will be providing
and Jack Tippett will be your master of
ceremonies.
Returning by request are the Feinberg
Brothers, Mickey Galyean & Cullen’s
Bridge, and David Parmley & Cardinal
Tradition. With the exception of three
local acts—15 Strings, The California
Ramblers, and Cousins in Harmony—the
remainders of this year’s lineup are all
first timers to Southern Maryland.
From deep in the Blue Ridge Moun-
tains of McClure, VA come Ralph Stan-
Ralph is the son of legendary banjo play-
er, Dr. Ralph Stanley. “2” takes on his
daddy’s namesake with the Clinch Moun-
tain Boys, and has earned the respect of
Stanley fans everywhere while garnering
praise as a strong new artist in his own
right.
From Nashville, Dave Peterson & 1946

Entertainment 17
his band’s name, the 1940s. He’s a savvy
independent recording artist and a blue-
grass singer who cherishes tradition.
Reigning as 2018’s Bluegrass Music’s
“Band of the Year,” Farm Hands are one
of the most exciting and in-demand blue-
grass bands in America. This talented
foursome features veterans of the world
famous Grand Ole Opry.
Classy, sassy, and bluegrass-y, William-
son Branch brings high-energy entertain-
ment each time they take the stage. They
are a fun family with amazing talent.
A Virginia Country Music Hall of
Famer and five-time SPBGMA Male
Vocalist of the Year, Larry Stephenson
is highly regarded as one of bluegrass
music’s finest high lead and tenor vocal-
ist. Always a Southern Maryland favorite,
he’s made numerous performances on the
Grand Ole Opry and RFD-TV.
The great state of Ohio brings us Joe
Mullins & the Radio Ramblers, whose
professionalism, engaging presentation,
and successful, heavily played record-
ings have kept this band in demand with a
national audience. Their energetic perfor-
mances have placed them at the National
Folk Festival, Bluegrass Underground,
Bluegrass Nights at the Ryman, and the
Grand Ole Opry. They are, indeed, a tra-
ditional bluegrass band.
Following tradition, the L’il Margaret’s
Bluegrass Festival will return to three
days of festivities this year. There will be
food available for sale in the Goddard’s
“Bluegrass Kitchen,” providing the home
cooked food they’re known for, as well as
ice cream and non-alcoholic beverages.
Various craft vendors will also be present.
Acoustic music pickers are encouraged to
bring their instruments and jam around
the campers throughout the weekend.
This event is rain or shine; it’s an out-
door event with a covered stage pavilion.
It’s requested that participants bring their
own lawn chairs. All facilities on the
farm are wheelchair-accessible.
Admission is available at $65 each for
three days. Individual day tickets can
be purchased at the gate for $25 each
(Thurs.), $30 each (Fri.), and $35 each
(Sat.). Camping is also available for $30
per day; rough camping is offered for
