Fountain Sale

Moodys Investors Services reports that
the county governments debt outlook is a
positive one and revised the countys ratings to Aa2 for its management of $25
million of public improvement bonds and
$32.6 million in general obligation bonds.
Moodys analysts said that the countys
dependence on the work at Patuxent River
Naval Air Station was its chief strength
but also presented some weaknesses, specifically its vulnerability to federal defense
cuts.
The positive outlook reflects the countys stable technology-based local economy that will likely continue to experience
growth, given further development with
the technology sector as well as other industries, the report issued this week stated.
The report shows that the countys debt
will increase given its decisions to borrow
money for construction projects but the
overall debt picture is positive because the
county follows a policy of quickly paying
down its debts.
All of the countys debt is fixed rate and
amortization of debt is rapid with the 75.2
percent of principal retired in 10 years,
the report stated. Fiscal 2015 debt service
accounts for a low 4.7 percent of general

fundrevenues.
One of the countys major expenses is
employee pensions and what is known as
other post employment benefits (OPEB)
but the Moodys report stated that it manages the various pension plans well, which
includes payments to county employees,
the sheriffs office and a length of service
award program for volunteer fire departments and rescue squads.
The county contributed 117 percent of
its annual OPEB cost in fiscal 2015 and the
reported liability was 56.9 percent funded
at the end of fiscal 2015, the report stated.
Total fixed costs, including debt service,
ension and OPEB, accounts for an affordable 14.6 percent of fiscal 2015 operating
revenues.
This ratings report comes as very good
news as we prepare to place $25 million in
bonds on the market, said Commissioner
President Randy Guy. We were very encouraged during our meeting with Moodys
in early June and believe our fiscal policies
will continue to reap rewards for the citizens of St. Marys County.

The Commissioners of St. Marys County voted in a split decision Tuesday to pay
more than $7 million in legal settlements
to the owners of the First Colony Shopping
Center over a years long court dispute over
contamination from the countys nearby
landfill.
Commissioners voted 3-to-2 to settle the
dispute with Marcas LLC which had taken
the county to court several times to include
state and federal courts seeking $24 million in damages.
Marcas LLC accused the county of allowing toxins from the St. Andrews Landfill to leach into ground water and air on
the developers property, damaging their
ability to develop the property further for
residential use.
In essence the leakage of the toxins
from the landfill onto Marcas LLC land
amounted to a condemnation of the property, courts had ruled.
By paying the $7 million settlement the
county has agreed to buy 75 acres of the
First Colony land near the landfill.
The commissioners moved $3.3 million
from the countys capital improvement
budget to fund the $7 million price tag for
the settlement.
Commissioner President James Randy
Guy said that the county had tried to keep
the costs of the settlement down but it was
necessary to avoid any further and expen-

Commissioners Celebrate
Lexington Park Lions
70th Anniversary
Leonardtown, MD Since 1946 the
Lexington Park Lions Club has assisted
citizens with some of their basic needs.
The group has a history of charitable work,
from assisting with the cost of eye and
hearing exams to awarding annual scholarships to graduating seniors at Great Mills
High School. These were among the accomplishments the Commissioners of St.
Marys County lauded during a special
70th anniversary proclamation ceremony.
The Lexington Park Lions Club also provides vision screenings for pre-school
children, coordinates American Red Cross
blood drives, and sponsors local families at Christmas. The list of their community and charitable work is a long one.
The Lexington Park Lions Club supports
Lions Club District Programs such as Lions
District 22C Youth Band and Camp Merrick, a camp in Nanjemoy, Maryland, which
provides recreational activities for diabetic
children, said Commissioner Mike Hewitt
(2nd District). The organization also supports international programs such as Sight
First I and II, which strives to rid the world
of preventable and reversible blindness.
Lexington Park Lions Club members
participate in other volunteer activities such as Meals on Wheels, AARP
Tax-Aide, United Way Day of Caring, and boating safety training.
In congratulating the Lexington Park Lions
on their 70th anniversary, the commissioners recognized the groups ongoing care
and commitment its members have provided the people in St. Marys County for
seven decades.

Feature Story
DO YOU KNOW
By David Spigler
Contributing Writer
THOM JOHNSON?
To prepare this story to commemorate our upcoming July 4th celebrations,
I asked several friends and neighbors if
they knew a guy named Thom Johnson?
Several said Isnt he a lawyer in Prince
Frederick? Others thought he might be
a professional baseball player. Still others
thought he was a politician up in Annapolis! They all may be right as I did not have
time to check each one of those Thoms
out! But the Thom I was looking for is
actually Thomas Johnson for whom our
Solomons Bridge is named. And, as I
learned from a quick review from my high
school Maryland History course, Thomas
was one of the very first great sons of
Calvert County. As an active revolutionist, he served in many capacities in support
of the Founding Fathers who signed our
Declaration of Independence. He then was
elected the first Governor of Maryland, the
seventh State to enter the Union.
Thomas was born to Thomas and Dorcas Sedgewick Johnson on November
4, 1732 in a house located very near the
Patuxent River at the mouth of St. Leonards Creek. He was the fourth of ten children and many of his siblings went on to
raise large families as well. He married
Ann Jennings and they produced a large
family numbering seven or eight children
February, 1766.
He practiced law in Frederick for several
years. [Frederick was a small town situated on the National Road in western Maryland made famous by the story of Barbara
Fritchie, the elderly lady famous for her
confrontation with the Confederate troops
over the Flag at her home. She in many
ways demonstrated the same determination and defiance of a Rosa Parks who later
stood up to bigotry and discrimination].
As resentment within the British Crown
grew throughout the Colonies, Thomas
actually supported conciliation with Great
Britain and was one of the last of the revolutionaries to cave when finally persuaded that his efforts were fruitless. He soon
voted for the Declaration of Independence
and became a member of several committees formed to draft memorials to the
crown seeking redress of grievances. He
was part of the organizing group that put
together the initial Colonial Congress. He
represented his State at the first Continental Congress held in Philadelphia. During
the second Continental Congress in 1775,
he was given the distinction to nominate
his good friend George Washington as
the Commander In Chief of the Colonial
Armies. The future President would later
thank Thomas with a nomination to the US
Supreme Court and was confirmed by US
Congress in November, 1791.
Once hostilities broke out in force with
the hated Brits, Thomas joined the
Maryland militia and quickly rose to senior Brigadier General, assuming control
of all of the States conscripts. He recruited 1800 men to join General Washington

School. She graduated from Ohio University, and served as the Director of the Westminster Foundation. Her first teaching job
was in Carrollton, Ohio. She met Rev. Benton Roy Hanan Jr. at Columbia University
in New York City. They married in Athens, Ohio in 1946. Jean and Ben moved to
Morgantown, West Virginia where Ben accepted the ministry for the First Christian
Church (Disciples of Christ). Jean and Ben
raised three sons and established Christian
education outreach programs that brought
new life to the to the Morgantown church

minister to the community. Jean and Ben
relocated in 1974 to Gaithersburg, Maryland, where Ben became the minister at the
Rockville Christian Church. She continued to support Bens ministry and was as a
Reading Specialist at Walt Whitman High
School in Bethesda, Maryland.
Jean worked selflessly over the years
serving her students, church, community
and family. She headed up countless church
committees, taught Sunday School and Vacation Bible School. After her retirement,
she volunteered her time cooking for a food
pantry in Rockville, Maryland. She loved
hiking, entertaining, and traveling to visit
friends and family.
She was preceded in death by her parents, husband Ben, brother, Dale Barricklow and sister, Betty Lax. Jean is survived

BITTER SWEET
It will be a bitter sweet occasion at Summerseat Farm on July 3rd. Bitter because
a bison died last year on July 4th; but sweet
because a handful of volunteers managed
to bottle feed her three day old newborn,
who is now well on his way to maturity.
Bison are wild animals and calves take all
the moms have to give in those first few
months. The orphan could not survive on
his own so the little guys future looked
dim. Bottle feeding a buffalo calf had
never done before at Summerseat and is not
normally done anywhere, but it was worth
a try. With advice from some experts as
far away as Colorado, Dick Wildes modified the formula used for cattle; and a round
the clock feeding schedule was established.
A quart at each feeding was the start, increasing to three quarts per feeding, four
times a day. Grain was blended into the
formula to help the calfs growth hoping he
would continue his rapid progress until he
could eat grain and other solid food on his
own. His father, Sherman, was a longtime
resident at Summerseat who was loved and
admired by all due to his massive size yet
gentle nature. Since this story began on Independence Day, the calf was dubbed Indy.
The feedings went well and Indy took to

Work v. Playtime
\The last week or so has been a struggle.
Ive watched Australian Rules Football,
random College World Series games and
Without Bias, a 2009 ESPN documentary on the death of former Maryland Basketball star Len Bias, three times. Ive even
trolled the internet like a pathetic TMZ
junky for Johnny Manziel chatter. Is a 2
a.m. table tennis tournament next?
The problem: Im a sports addict without
an adequate fix. I need whiskey shots, but
the only elixir available is Coors Light. Im
pounding Silver Bullets but they just dont
deliver the desired effect. Maybe I need to
go Old School, channel my inner Frank
the Tank and deploy a beer bong.
I should have a compensatory protocol;
this happens every year. See, the moment

State Warriors and exercised Clevelands

be good. Its just mentallyits so repetitive that its more suited toward the young
guysit gets kind of boring.
For the average person who trudges into
work five days a week for 40 years just to
keep the utilities on and some connection
to the middle class, Petersons comments
sound like pouty, million-dollar-athlete
syndrome. Oh yeah, its torturous to throw
some weights around daily, casually run
mock football plays in shorts and spend a
little time with coaches in the film room.
Poor Adrian Peterson. How does he survive the toil? Hes a working mans hero.
Pausing the sail down the river of sarcasm, a fair consideration of Petersons
soundbite must acknowledge two points.
First, while Peterson might not be the best
mentor for fathers, he is among the NFLs
hardest workers, having once rushed for
2,000 yards less than a year after reconstructive knee surgery. He is a symbol of
the year-round commitment to fitness the
game requires and the death of the pot-bellied era of Sonny Jurgensen. Second, and
more significantly, football, as compared to
other sports, demands arduous preparation.
Offseason programs begin in April. Organized Team Activities (OTAs) are in May.

Yoshi was born in 2006. Before coming to Feral Cat Rescue she was living
with one dog, 18 other cats and two humans in a room that was about 14 by 18
feet. The conditions were so crowded that one of the other cats scratched her eye.
The owners could not afford to do the surgery so they surrendered her to Feral Cat
Rescue so that Yoshi would no longer suffer. Her eye had to be removed.
Yoshi is super friendly and is a lap cat. She loves to climb in your lap and put
her paws on your shoulder like she is hugging you. She loves sleeping with her
foster mom and being petted.
She would make a great addition to any family. She would make an amazing
companion for an elderly person. Hopefully the human would outlive her so
she doesnt ever have to find a new home again. If you are interested, please
meet Yoshi and the Petco in California on Saturdays and Sundays from 11 to 3.
Applications can be filled out at www.feralcatrescuemd.org
DO YOU KNOW AN OLDER PERSON WHO MIGHT ENJOY A
COMPANION? PLEASE HELP US FIND YOSHI A HOME.

DRINKING WATER NOTICE OF OCCURANCE
TOWN OF LEONARDTOWN
June16, 2016 Test Results Indicate that the Drinking Water
Meets Standards Following the Detection of E. coli bacteria
Our water system detected E. coli bacteria in the distribution system
and the Towns well on June 10, 2016. These bacteria can make
you sick, and are especially a concern for people with weakened
immune systems.
Our system violated the maximum contaminant level for drinking
water for E. coli bacteria for June 2016. In addition, we failed to
notify the Maryland Department of the Environment until June 15,
2016 that we detected E. coli bacteria in test results received on June
13, 2016. We were required to notify the State of this information
within 24 hours of when we learned of thew situation but we
failed to do so.
Additional drinking water samples were collected on June 16, 2016
from the water system, and results indicated that E. coli bacteria was
not present. Maryland Department of the Environment and the local
health department assessed the water system for sanitary defects
on June 17, 2016.
What should I do? What does this mean?
You do not need to boil your water or take other corrective
actions. However if you have specific health concerns,
you may consult your doctor.
E. coli are bacteria whose presence indicates that the water may be
contaminated with human or animal wastes. Human pathogens in
these wastes can cause short-term effects, such as diarrhea, cramps,
nausea, headaches, or other symptoms. They may pose a greater
health risk for infants, young children, the elderly, and people with
severely compromised immune systems. If you experience any of
these symptoms and they persist, you may want to seek medical
advice. People at increased risk should seek advice from their
healthcare providers about drinking this water.
What is being done?
The Town is closely monitoring the chlorination of the drinking
water. The required chlorination level was maintained at all times.
The Towns staff has performed additional flushing of hydrants
and checked for broken water mains. The Towns Water system is
checked by staff members daily for chlorine residuals and ph.
The lab that processed the samples is being monitored by MDE for
possible erroneous results. The contaminated sample could possibly
have been a false positive. The test results on June 16, 2016 showed
the system was clear.
For more information, please contact Laschelle McKay at 301-4759791 or POB 1, Leonardtown, MD 20650. General guidelines on
ways to lessen the risk of infection by bacteria and other diseasecausing organisms are available from the EPA Safe Drinking Water
Hotline at 1-800-426-4791.
This notice is being sent to you by the Town of Leonardtown.
Water System ID#: MD0180006.
