Sunday evening, Stephen Waugh and his sonPhillip Waugh-Merkley made their nal approach

to the airport in the Chesapeake Ranch Estates,the end of a four-hour journey from Chicago, whensomething went wrong.

John Eney, Chesapeake Ranch Estate volunteerairport manager, said he witnessed the entire event.At approximately 6:15 p.m. he heard a small aircraftpass low overhead, a cue that an airplane is about tomake an approach. He said he took his radio andwent outside to watch the landing and advised thepilot that the wind conditions were calm. He saidWaugh sounded calm when he acknowledged theradio.

Waugh had activated the runway lights withhis radio, as is standard procedure Eney said, buthe was coming at the landing strip f rom the wrongdirection and getting lower.

I heard the frightening sound of him clip-ping trees, Eney said, adding that is sounded likebranches being fed through a wood chipper. Likewhen a car hits a guardrail, Eney said when a pro-

peller hits tree branches, the aircraft isnt goingmuch further.

For some reason, he didnt make it on the run-way, Eney said.

Waugh is very familiar with the landing str ip,and has made numerous landings both during theday and at night, Eney said. Waugh is a former pilotfor the U.S. Marines and attended the U.S. NavalAcademy.

In 2010, Waugh ran unsuccessfully on the Re-publican ticket against Roy Dyson for a seat in the

Maryland Senate.Eney said the plane hit the grassy part at the

north end of the runway, and slid off the east endonto Double Tree Lane, landing in a wooded ravineat the side of the road.

Eney said the lights should not have been aproblem, especially if the pilot lined up his craftproperly.

Because of vandalism after Hurricane Irene,the rst 400 feet, or 20 percent, of the runway is lit

by dim solar powered lights that are designed to bevandal proof. The remaining 80 percent is brightlylit with the normal lights. He said for a normal ap-

proach, there should be no issue lining the aircraftup with the runway.

I dont know what make him choose thecourse he did, Eney said.

The Solomons Volunteer Fire and RescueSquad was the rst on the scene reported the twooccupants of the plane were own by MSP Trooper2 to Prince Georges Hospital Center in serious butstable condition.

Two volunteer reghters were transported toCalvert Memorial Hospital with minor injuries, a

press release states.

Lt. Randy Stephens, commander of the Mary-land State Police Prince Frederick Barrack con-rmed that Waughs Beech V35 aircraft overshotthe runway and went into the woods. Waugh suf-fered a broken leg and his son only had minor in-

juries. Stephens said the FAA and the NTSB arecontinuing the investigation into the accident.

Attempts to reach Waugh or his family wereunsuccessful.

Sheriff Timothy K. Cameron said thisweek his agency will study red light cameras

for use as a trafc safety tool, after a citizen-staffed highway safety committee reached con-sensus on the issue.

Cameron said earlier he was consideringmaking a study after seeing information fromCharles County that red light cameras cut downon serious trafc accidents. Though he said heis still mistrustful of the technology because itcould be used as a revenue-generating tool.

The St. Marys County Highway SafetyProgram Taskforce discussed the issue brieyat their Nov. 18 meeting and many members

showed some level of support for red light cam-era use.

Dr. William Icenhower, the countyshealth ofcer, said trafc accidents representone of the greatest threats to public health, far

more than some diseases.This is a public health issue, Icenhower

said. More people will die or be injured as aresult of accidents than they will from West

Nile virus.Cameron said the study would examine

the effects red light cameras have had on trafcsafety in counties around the state.

This committee is very strong on their position that it would be a viable part of ourtrafc enforcement, Cameron said. Im mov-ing ahead; Im going to look at them formally.

Cameron said their use would be for traf-c safety, with the aim that they would even-tually generate little to no revenue becausemotorists behavior would be modied.

[Gaining revenue] cant be the crux to

put red light cameras in, Cameron said. Itsnot about making money, its about publicsafety.

Ofcials with the State Highway Ad-ministration said county leaders were the soledecision makers in putting such cameras oncounty roads, but they would have to apply fora utility permit to put them on state roads.

Sheriff Studying Red Light Cameras

On Friday, ofcials with Naval Air Sta-tion Patuxent River hosted the fth annualUSS Tulip Memorial at the small memorial sitewhere eight unidentied sailors are buried on

the shore of St. Inigoes Creek.The tiny monument, near what is

now Webster Field, serves as a place of

remembrance for the many that perishedin the deadly explosion aboard the USSTulip on Nov. 11, 1864.

Many sailors who come to this me-morial leave a piece of themselves here,said NAS Commanding Ofcer Capt.Ted Mills, adding St. Marys County is anarea steeped in both Civil War and navalhistory.

George Kennett, a retired NAS Paxre chief, was instrumental in bringingthe landmark to the modern Navys at-tention a few years back and said he wasgiven the rst U.S. ag raised at the site,an item he said he cherishes.

Mills spoke of the direct connec-tion between todays sailors and thosewho served their country during the CivilWar, both requiring bravery and sacri-ce. He said he was honored to take partin the ceremony.

Guest speaker Patrick Woodburn,NAWCAD Surface Systems Services Di-vision Director, shared some of the his-tory of what sailors did on the important

waterways during the Union and Confederatedivide shaping the nation and volunteered tocontinue maintaining the property after hisretirement.

Chief Petty Ofcer Jay Frantz presentedthe ag that has own at the memorial for the

past year to the Jackson family, descendents ofone man who died in the USS Tulip disaster.

Many said there was a good turnout this

year, though theyd like to see it double. Com-mand Master Chief Mark Cummings sangthe National Anthem and stayed after the cer-emony to talk with descendents and historiansabout how to reach out to others and increase

participation in the remembrance.St. Inigoes is also home to Cross Manor, a

historical landmark that served as the base forthe ships battle group, the Potomac Flotilla.

The Maryland State Highway Administration (SHA) was set to reopen MD 234 (BuddsCreek Road) over Allens Fresh Run on Tuesday evening.

The move restores a vital business and commuter link between St. Marys County and

Charles County in Southern Maryland, an SHA press release states. Replacement of the smallbridge over Allens Fresh Run became necessary after heavy rains in August and Septemberundermined MD 234 and washed out the existing structure, forcing SHA to close the bridge.

I know it has been a difcult few months for commuters, residents, and business ownersin Southern Maryland, and we thank everyone for their patience, said Maryland Departmentof Transportation Secretary Beverley K. Swaim-Staley. Getting the road back open was a chal-lenge but workers from SHA and our contractors moved as quickly as possible to restore trafcfor the residents of Southern Maryland.

A steel temporary bridge was erected following extensive site preparation work. Prior toassembling the temporary bridge, crews stabilized the work site by driving large steel sheet pilesdeep into the soil beneath Allens Fresh Run, then backlling and anchoring the sheet piles witha concrete and steel tie-back system. The temporary span was placed at a slight offset from theroadway.

Design is underway for the permanent structure, which can now be constructed without theneed for additional closures of MD 234, the SHA release states.

MD 234 is a major connector for travelers between southern Maryland and Virginia. Nearly6,000 vehicles travel this stretch of roadway each day.

The Board of County Commissioners decided to trim somecapital construction projects and move ahead with others during

a budget work session that saw a debate on whether the countyshould continue borrowing for projects in this rocky economy.Commissioners discussed the possibility of building a new

Leonardtown library after the solicitation process for the projecthad been suspended for more than a year. They decided to takethe $15.9 million project out of the capital improvement plan(CIP) for now and wait to put it back into the schedule for at leastsix years.

The plan now is to come up with an alternative renovationfor the existing site, what was once the Leonardtown Armory.

Its gone now, County Administrator John Savich said ofthe project, at least for the foreseeable CIP.

A new library was proposed for either on the Hayden Prop-erty just outside Leonardtown or in town on a piece of land to bedonated by a developer.

The ambiguity on how suitable either site is played a part in

delaying the project for so long.Neither of the two sites are good sites, said Commissioner

Cindy Jones (R-Valley Lee). They both have problems.Commissioner Larry Jarboe (R-Golden Beach) said the

county needs to divide its interests between wants and needs

when it comes to capital projects, including the library.We need to keep it where its at; right now we need to makedo with what we have, Jarboe said.

Commissioners agreed to keep in the construction plan a$36 million jail expansion, but some voiced concern that thecounty needs a plan to move ahead with key security upgradeslike new locks, security panels and cameras without aid from thestate, which agreed to share the cost of the expansion in stages.

Many of those internal improvements, however, will comeat the countys expense.

Commissioner Dan Morris (R-Mechanicsville) said theinternal improvements are critical, but he always disagreed onthe need to expand the jails size especially because the residentinmate population has dropped in recent years.

The size of the jail has always concerned me, Morrissaid. We do know we need those [internal improvement] items

We have to pay for those anyway.Commissioners continued debating the con

FDR Boulevard, but kept the project on the books toto acquire land and design the connections. This y

plans to build a portion of the road in Lexington Pa

old strip club once stood, and in the near future pa connector road between Route 4 and Chancellors FDR Boulevard has sparked debate about the

tinuing to go to the bond market to borrow moneyprojects. Commissioner Todd Morgan along with CoPresident Francis Jack Russell have said that the cstanding is solid, but Jones warned that even thoughrating is high, those ratings are for times when themore predictable.

Its great that we have rules of thumb like that,Monday. But that applies in times of stability.

The county has about $100 million in outstanda recent report by Fitch Ratings in New York gavean AA+ bond rating, noting it is retiring debt fastaccumulating it.

New Library Removed From Capital Projects Plan


After widespread reports locally of signif-icant crop failures and losses in St. Marys andCalvert counties following drought in the sum-mer and Hurricane Irene and Tropical StormLee, the federal government named the twocounties along with 14 others as d isaster zones.

The declaration made Nov. 16 makes allaffected counties eligible for low interest emer-gency loans from the U.S. Department of Agri-culture, a statement from the agency said.

Farmers now have eight months from thedate of the declaration to apply for the loans to

help cover the losses from decimated crops,with the agencys Farm Service Agency takinginto account which crops were affected and towhat extent as well as the individual farmersability to repay the loans.

Patrick Goode, with the Calvert CountyFarm Service Agency, said Prince Frederickand Huntingtown were among the worst hit bythe drought over the summer months, though

by June the whole county had suffered to someextent.

That heat, coupled with the winds fromHurricane Irene, toppled large swaths of thecorn crop, he said.

Our corn loss was greater than 30 per-

cent, about 33 percent, Goode told The CountyTimes.

Heavy rains and standing water also dam-aged vegetables and fall produce such as pump-kins, he said.

They were going to bust out and rot be-cause of all the water, Goode said.

Still farmers did not record a total loss inall their crops, he said, with soybeans actually

providing something of a bumper crop.In St. Marys, the situation was much the

same, with high winds blowing down a largeportion of the corn crop, which is actually moreextensive than in Calvert and used for sale aschicken feed on the states Eastern Shore.

Soybeans here also fared better than ex-

pected, said Amy Farrell of the fagency in Leonardtown.

The rain actually helped us crop beans, she said. The farmehave turned out at least average; news.

USDA Secretary Tom Vilsaagency was committed to helpirecover.

Maryland producers can ccount on USDA to provide emsistance during difcult times, VAmericas farmers and rural comvitally important to our nations ecducing the food, feed, ber and futinue to help us grow.

St. Marys Declared Agricultural Disaster Zone


After receiving complaints both from localbusinesses and even staff about the complexitiesassociated with making purchases for, and doing

business with, county government, the Board ofCounty Commissioners are poised to make chang-es to streamline their procurement process.

They are also considering ways to give localbusinesses preference when bids are solicited onprojects.

Commissioners made no rm decisions onthe two separate issues at their Tuesday meetingafter hearing recommendations from staff, butthere was strong consensus for raising the thresh-old for competitive bidding from a $15,000 bid to$25,000.

This would allow department heads moreexibility in dealing with some of the smaller

purchases they have to make, said County Admin-istrator John Savich. Also, there was broad sup-

port for giving preference to local vendors amongthe commissioners but they still have to come toagreement on just how that plan would work out,Savich said.

A comparison of scal 2011 showed that ofthe more than $30 million the county spent oncontract purchases, nearly $11 million went to St.Marys County vendors.

For scal 2012 through October the countyhas spent just over $11 million in purchases withalmost $4 million going to county vendors, county

gures showed.Thirty percent of our spending is a

ing done locally, Savich told The CounTheres support for a [local preference

but we just need to work out the details Bob Schaller, director of the Depa

Economic and Community Developmthat small businesses seeking to do busithe county chaffed under the $15,000 ruthat is now considered something of a smconsidering the increasing costs to do bu

The process of vetting the bids was jthing the smaller local businesses wante

because of the complexity and the timehe said.

For small providers you wonder times its worth it, Schaller said of th

process. Raising the thresholds will givment heads more discretion and you smore local purchases as a result.

Chief Financial Ofcer Elaine Krthat the rules could be changed while sting oversight and assurances that the disc

purchases under $25,000 could be monitto keep the process competitive.

Breaking up larger bids into smatags could not be allowed, she said. Buknowledged the local rules for procurewell over due for review.

Last month, as part of its routine surveillance,Fitch afrmed St. Marys Countys AA+ rating on ap-

proximately $100M of outstanding general obligationbonds. In these troubled economic times, this is verygood news. The highest possible rating is AAA. AA+is just a notch below AAA.

The county has closely managed its capital pro-gram spending and issuance of debt, resulting in low debt levels - $1,172 per capita and about1% of market value. Remarkably, both gures are roughly half of the statewide averages.

Current debt is being paid off quickly. Amortization is 70% within 10 years. This, too,is above average.

The countys formal debt policy requires a bond rating reserve around 6% of generalfund expenditures. This reserve helps ensure that the county continues to enjoy the benetsof a superior rating. Paying less in debt service leaves more money for infrastructure andservices for a rapidly growing county.

St. Marys County property tax and income tax rates are well below the state limits andamong the lowest in the state. The current property tax rate, $0.857 per $100 of assessedvalue, has not been raised over the past six years.

Despite a narrow economy, primarily focused on Patuxent River Naval Air Station andmany related technology and defense industries, Fitch gave St. Marys a Stable Outlook. Wecontinue to enjoy a growing tourism economy, as well as below average unemployment ratesand above average income levels.

The FY 2013 budget process begins this month. I will not forget the importance ofmaintaining a cautious approach to spending and borrowing. In light of the sovereign debtcrisis in Greece and now Italy, the injection of $4 trillion into the economy since the passageof the TARP and our Congressional leaders inability to get federal spending under control,this is not the time to throw caution to the wind.

For a variety of reasons, St. Marys County continues to buck the state and nationaltrends.

As we celebrate Thanksgiving, lets pause a moment to give thanks for our manyblessings.

Good FinancialNews inTroubled Times

The current hot topic is Plan Maryland wherein, OMalley Tries To Tell Us Whaccording to your Guest editorialist Marta Hummel Mossburg in the November 17We have to abdicate our rights for what is considered to be prudent development, County Commissioner Morgan in your feature story of the same date.

Nothing like a couple of good one-liners to get the old blood stir ring. Unfortunatesome pretty fuzzy thinking.

Mossburg cites data showing the people are moving from high-density to low-dof the State. Any of us who have spent time in some areas of Baltimore, Prince GeoWaldorf, and Lexington Park can understand why people would want to move. One things Mossburg doesnt discuss is whos moving. And that would be the people who c

leaving behind those who are more likely to be a greater drain on public services while less to the economy.But nobody is saying people cant move to low-density areas if they want, even

Maryland.What the State is saying is that it sees no need to use your tax dollars to generate

dorfs and Great Mills Roads. If Counties insist on fostering conditions for the creation areas theres nothing to prevent them from doing so, so long as they pay for the requireture. Mr. Morgan apparently has forgotten that one of his rights includes taking respthe cost of his decisions.

Plan MD Attempts to Prevent Waldorfs

If you are having difculty understanding how our GREAT Country got into such a Finan-cial Mess, maybe this story will help you understand.

It is the month of August, on the shores of the Black Sea, it is raining, and the little townlooks totally deserted. It is tough t imes, everybody is in debt, and everybody lives on credit.

Suddenly, a rich tourist comes to town. He enters the only hotel, lays a 100 Euro note on thereception counter, and goes to inspect the rooms upstairs in order to pick one. The hotel propri-etor takes the 100 Euro note and runs to pay his debt to the butcher. The Butcher takes the 100Euro note, and runs to pay his debt to the pig grower.The pig grower takes the 100 Euro note, andruns to pay his debt to the supplier of his feed and fuel. The supplier of feed and fuel takes the100 Euro note and runs to pay his debt to the towns prostitute that in these hard times, gave herservices on credit. The hooker runs to the hotel, and pays off her debt with the 100 Euro note tothe hotel proprietor to pay for the rooms that she rented when she brought her clients there.

The hotel proprietor then lays the 100 Euro note back on the counter so that the rich tour-ist will not suspect anything. At that moment, the rich tourist comes down after inspecting therooms, and takes his 100 Euro note, after saying that he did not like any of the rooms, and leavestown.

No one earned anything. However, the whole town is now without debt, and looks to thefuture with a lot of optimism.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how the United States Government is doing businesstoday. Wake up America and engage in the Political process to select new Leadership.

Intruder Shot by HomeowGeorge Williams


Last week a St. Marys jury returned aguilty verdict on second-degree attemptedmurder charges for Joanna Joyce Findlay, 41,who had been on tr ial for the shooting death ofher husband Gary Alan Trogdon.

Findlay was also found guilty of usinga handgun in the commission of a felony, butavoided conviction on rst-and-second-degreemurder charges.

During the trial, the prosecution played911 tapes of the events of the night of Oct.30, 2010, when Trogdon died, alleging thatFindlay had become enraged at her husbandfor taking away medication she was taking inlarge quantities in an attempt to kill herself.

On the tapes Trogdon could be heard say-

ing that his wife had just shot at him and thathe was worried she might try to retrieve an-other gun after he had wrestled a .22 caliber

pistol away from her.Her attorney John Ray said that 911 tapes

clearly showed that Findlay was in fear of herhusband.

Ray told jurors and Findlay later testiedthat her husband had assaulted her by drag-ging her from the spare bedroom because shewould not sleep with him.

Ray later argued that Findlay did not rethe .22 at Trogdon but into the ground to gethim to stop chasing her around the house.

The fallout of marital relations with Trog-don, 55, stemmed from her discovery of child

pornography on his personal computer monthsearlier, Ray said, and led to her demanding that

Trogdon seek help for his sex addiIn the time between the disc

pornography, which the state cfound on Trogdons computer, anrst attempt at getting help from asupport group, Findlay lived with refused marital relations.

Ray argued that Trogdonscame to a head Oct. 30 when he thimself on his wife.

And after a struggle with Fended with her leaving and tellwould turn him in to law enforcedon used a .357 caliber revolver .38-caliber cartridges to shoot hichest, Ray said.

When police arrived on the scCliffs Road in Hollywood they foin bedclothes outside the house; s

she had heard shots from inside.But States Attorney Richa jected the defenses argument, sathat Findlay was the one who retrierevolver and used it to kill Trogdorst shot that missed and struck a door while the second directly struat point blank range.

The trial brought internationaSt. Marys County from Scotland, a citizen of the United Kingdom. S

ployed in the United States as a writor at the University of Maryland.

Athletes nationwide are getting ready forthe grueling Spartan Death Race, a race run-ning 24+ hours that involves such physical chal-lenges as carrying 100 pounds of gear up anddown mountains and crawling under barbed

wire, to mental challenges such as translatingGreek and memorizing passages and recitingthem.

Among the athletes is Leonardtown resi-dent Joshua Eckler. Eckler, 35, has been in-volved in athletics most of his life. A year ago,he heard about the annual Death Race in Pitts-feld, Vt., and decided to take on the challenge.

To get in shape for the challenge, Ecklerhas been involved in races, obstacle courses,the GORUCK Challenge in Washington, D.C.and the Warrior Dash recently held at BuddsCreek.

He said the Warrior Dash was not his proudest moment. He completed wearing agreen suit and didnt take it seriously. Currently,Eckler said he has run more than 150 miles inraces and obstacle courses, and plans to run an-other 200 to 300 miles before the Death Race.

He also has been running around St.Marys Lake. He picks up a log, carries it withhim and does weight training with the log af-ter his run. He said he has gotten some strangelooks while doing so.

People pass me all the time and think

Im completely out of my mind, Ecklersaid.

His wife and children have beensupporting him and even doing someof the lower-impact training with him,though he said his wife thinks hes alittle nuts.

Shes used to it by now, Ecklersaid.

The Death Race website calls thecompetition the highest level of Spar-tan Challenge and warns individualsinterested in competing that 90 percent,if not more, of the 200 participants ac-cepted will not fnish the race.

Eckler said the challenge is asmuch mental as physical. They will getlists of items to bring that includes items suchas $25 in pennies, a pound of onions and anaxe. The participants will receive their fnal in-

structions, in Greek, at 2 a.m. thethe challenge to ensure they are nowhen starting.

Askey AccountantExplains Cloud Computing

Glenn Frank, III, CPA provided valuable informationregarding Cloud Computing to Chopticon High School stu-dents. The speaking engagement to the Academy of Financestudents specically dened Cloud Computing as anInternet-based computing in which large groups of remoteservers are networked to allow sharing of data-processingtasks, centralized data storage and online access to com-

puter services or resources. Glenn explained how the use

of industrys most advanced security and reliability mea-sures keep data safe with multiple data locations, Internetconnections, and power sources which will keep portals upand running at all times. An assigned 128-bit encryption

password-protected online portal provides everyone withworry-free access.

Cloud accounting is gaining a great deal of momen-tum. This is a new platform in transforming how compa-nies and accounting rms do business. Askey, Askey &Associates are adapting these solutions at a faster rate to

provide greater client service and maintain a productiveteam, said Frank.

The class had quite a discussion about the technologybehind the Cloud and the costs involved after Mr. Frankleft, said Cindy Baden, Chopticon High School Account-ing Teacher. It was very interesting and everyone is look-ing forward to hearing more.

Employees of Southern Maryland Electr ic Cooperative (SMECO) recent-ly donated more than $15,000 to the Center for Children in Southern Mary-land. The Center for Children serves St. Marys, Calvert and Charles countiesthrough ofces located in La Plata, Leonardtown, and Prince Frederick. Themoney will aid the groups mission of providing therapy and psychiatric ser-vices to families who have no options to pay.

SMECO raised the money through the 2011 Charity Golf Tournament,supported by a group of volunteers, vendors, and the SMECO executive team,a press release states. Each year, the co-op selects a different charity to benetfrom employee contributions.

The contribution made by SMECOs employees and vendors will beused to help us provide the services that are so badly needed for children whohave lived through traumatic experiences, and even for those who just needspecial services they are unable to nd anywhere else, stated Catherine Mey-ers, Executive Director of the Center for Children. Since the organizationwas founded in 1989, the number of families served each year has continued toclimb. About 4,000 children from Calvert, Charles, St. Marys, and southern

Prince Georges coun-ties receive assistanceeach year.


After four years at a locationthat has gone from perfectly sized totoo small, Peppers Pet Pantry is pre-paring to move its anchor store to alarger location just down the street.

The new location will be inSolomons Towne Centre behindthe CVS, in what used to be BlairsVideo. The 4,000 square foot build-ing will be almost twice the size ofthe current location.

Peppers owner Mary Beth Gates said they are looking at an eber opening date, once all the paperwork has gone though Calvert Cning and Zoning.

The new location will allow Peppers to offer wider selection
