The victim in the crash was identi edas Lamont Atkins-Freeman, 48, accordingto the St. Marys County Sheriffs Of ce.

Preliminary reports from police showthat as Freeman was crossing the nishline at the Budds Creek raceway that helost control of his 1971 Plymouth Duster,struck a barrier and was ejected from thevehicle.

Sheriffs of ce investigators are ask -ing any of the public who attended theraces that day and captured it on video tocontact them.

Royce Miller, operator of the facilityalong with the rest of the Miller family,said Atkins-Freeman was one of nearly750 racers who come from across the re-gion to race during big events at the track.

Hes probably been here a time

The latest campaign reports show thatin the primary contests for the District 29senate seat and the Dist. 29 A delegate racethere are clear advantages when it comes tocash on hand at least for the moment.

In the GOP senate primary SteveWaugh, who ran against and nearly de-feated incumbent Democrat Sen. Roy Dy-son in 2010, has $9,813 on hand after spend-ing $8,753 from the beginning of the yearthrough May.

Waugh, of Lusby, had a prior balance of$15,472.

His opponent St. Marys County Com-missioner Cindy Jones, of Valley Lee, re-

ported just a $155.79 cash on hand balance but this was after a heavy expenditure list of$5,843.21, much of which went to campaignmailings according to reports led with theMaryland State Board of Elections.

St. Marys County Commissioner Lar-ry Jarboes campaign for the GOP slot in therace did not show up on the states campaignreport website.

In the Dist. 29 A race, which will decid-ed the eventual replacement for retiring Del.John F. Wood, Matt Morgan has the largeston hand funding war chest among Republi-can primar y candidates with $16,803.55 with

about $14,000 of that coming from politicalaction funds, contributions and fundraiserticket purchases.

Morgan has spent just under $6,500 inhis campaign for this reporting period.

Thomas F. McKay and Bryan Bar-thelme both reported nearly identical cashon hand amounts of $4,325 and $4,327.31 re-spectively. Democrat Dan Slade is runningunopposed in his primary.

In the races for Board of County Com-missioner seats Mike Hewitt, local business-man has the highest on call cash reservesreported at $10,346.08, having already spent

just under $12,000 on his campaign for theDistrict 2 seat.

His opponent Bob Schaller, economics professor and former director of the countyeconomic development department, report-ed a total of $6,926.78 for cash on hand.

In the race between GOP candidate forDistrict 1 Tom Jarboe, who runs a local de-fense contractor business reported $4,855.77while his opponent Merl Evans, a member ofthe county planning commission, reported$2,230.62 on hand.

In the District 3 race between GOP can-didate John OConnor reported just a cam-

paign af davit while the states campaignnance website showed his Democrat oppo -

nent Joseph St. Clair, a local business owner,had yet to le a current nance report.

Incumbent County CommissionerPresident Francis Jack Russell reported$8,435.10 for cash on hand while his GOPopponent Randy Guy reported just $1,071.

A majority of county commissioners voted Tuesday to approve several con-sultant contracts to move ahead with the countys comprehensive economic de-velopment strategy (CEDS) amid opposition from some that the multiple effortswould lead to a lack of focus and waste of precious funding resour ces.

The CEDS project includes a 12-member panel of citizens from a w ide rangeof backgrounds to come up with a way to reduce and relieve the county from iscontinued dependence on the U.S. Navy and the defense contractor industry forregional prosperity.

To that end the countys Department of Economic Development, headed byRobin Finnacom, asked for consultants from the University of Maryland and Tow-son University to study dif ferent angles of the countys current economic status todetermine its strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats.

Commissioners Dan Morris and Larry Jarboe voted against the contractswith the educational institutions for varyi ng reasons.

Morris said having multiple studies done on the economic stat us from differ-ent viewpoints of the county diff used the focus of the overall efforts.

Jarboe said the money to be used on the studies, about $160,000 could have been better used to fu nd local education, which he v iewed as a key component ofensuring the community was secure from a base realignment and closure action.

The local school system recently reported a $6.6 million budget shortfall forscal 2014 due to r ising health care costs and asked the commissioners for help.

Theres a crisis coming in public education, Jarboe said. Id prefer thesemonies be reprioritized to go to public education instead of to the University ofMaryland.

Commissioner Cindy Jones disagreed, saying that with expected defense cutscoming it was imperative to move quickly on moving ahead with economic di-versi cation to do that meant nding out just where the county stood with its

business base.Im anxious to pull the trigger on this, Jones said. We really cant wait any

longer to get t hese things u nderway.

The Boeing Company awarded a$25,000 grant to St. Marys River Wa-tershed Association for the fth year in arow, enabling SMRWA to carry on its oys-ter restoration project in Horseshoe Bend.Oyster habitat was rst created through the

placement of 12 concrete rubble mounds,along with 540 reef balls stacked two andthree high. Then, over 15 million oys-ters were planted on those mounds. Itsa year-round process, and many of youcalled us to say you have seen our con-tractor out on the river this past February.Marylanders Grow Oysters participants as-sist in the project by nurturing baby oystersthrough their rst vulnerable year of life attheir docks. Then those year-old oysters arealso planted on restoration areas in the sanc-tuary. The cages are cleaned, spat are placedin the cages, and the process of caring for theyoung oysters begins again. We always needmore waterfront owners to steward cagesof spat at their docks. Call us at 301-737-2903 for more information on how you can

Triple Murder

Convict To Get New Trial By Guy LeonardStaff Writer A man found guilty of murdering three people more

than 40 years ago and sentenced to three life terms in prison is set to get a new t rial afte r a Calvert County Cir-cuit Court judge ruled earlier th is year that the defendantsoriginal trial was marred by faulty jury instructions.

Scherrell Richard Link, now 69, claims that he alsosuffered from ineffective counsel during his 1973 trialdue to the fact that his lawyer did not object to the then-

judges instructions that the jur y was not only the judgeof the evidence presented at trial but also the judge of thelaw itself.

Link, in his appeal, claimed that the jury did not fol-low the standard of nding his guilt beyond a reasonabledoubt.

Though his alleged crime occurred in LexingtonPark back in the summer of 1973 his trial was moved toCalvert County where he was convicted and sentenced forthe rst-degree murders of George William Pratt, Doug -las Parks and Shirley Mottler, the assault and attemptedmurder of William Craig, use of a handgun in the com-mission of a felony and conspiracy to murder his rstthree victims.

Court records from the Court of Special Appeals,which heard one of Links appeals back in 1973, show thetriple shooting was precipitated by a bar ght in Leonard -town June 24 in which Link, his wife and a friend Richard

Speaks was involved.The ght erupted between Speaks and others in the

bar, court records show, in which Speaks was str uck overthe head with a bottle.

The three soon-to-be victims were apparently theones who allegedly had attacked Speaks, according tocourt records.

Link was said to have declared to someone who wastrying help mend Speaks wounds but a friend of one ofthe victims: You just dont hit somebody over the headwith a bottle and gang up on people without paying for it.Your are going to pay for it.

After the brawl Link, his wife and Speaks left the bar and traveled to Links home; while on their way thereLink asked Speaks if he wanted to kill Mottler and thetwo other men.

Speaks said that he would, court records showed.The appellant added that the only way to handle

people like that was to shoot them, according to courtrecords.

Link armed himself with a .38 caliber revolver whileSpeaks retrieved a ri e and drove to a place just short ofMottlers home and waited for some visitors to leave.

They got out of their car, went to Mottlers door andasked to come in for a party; Parks answered the door butwas met by Link who came in and shot him dead.

Link next grabbed Mottler as she was coming downthe steps and shot her in the head, court records show.

Both Link and Speaks then ran up the stairs and

found Pratt in the bedroom; Speaks leveled his ri e andred, killing Pratt, according to court records.

Link tried to kick in another bedroom door beingheld shut by Craig; Link told Speaks to shoot at the doorand after Speaks did so they both left.

The bullet passed through the door but missed Craig.During his trial Link had used an insanity defense

along with alcohol intoxication in an attempt to negate thecharges of speci c intent in the murders.

One psychiatrist testi ed that Link was insane at thetime of the murders due to his mental disorders as well ashis alcohol consumption but two other psychiatrists forthe state gave contrary testimony.

A lawyer representing Link in an appeal for modi-cation of his clients sentence back in 2005 stated that

Link had undergone a virtual psychological and personaltransformation while in prison due to the treatment he re-ceived for his mental disorders brought on by a brokenand traumatic childhood.

Link has earned several degrees while in prison, at-torney Michael Lytle wrote, and has since taken to teach-ing valuable life skills to fellow inmates.

Prosecutors have of cially appealed the courts decision to give Link a new trial because the evidence againsthim was so overwhelming that the jury could not in alllikelihood have found him not guilty.

As a partof the application, teachers are required to listthree Exemplary Features and provide evi-dence of Quality Teaching; Philosophy; Or-ganization and Administration; Curriculumand Planning; Assessment and Evaluation;Professionalism; and Facilities, Equipment,and Supplies.

Mr. Michael Mason, Consultant forAdapted Physical Education at the MarylandState Department of Education and VisitationTeam Captain, commented that during theirdaylong visit the visitation team had observedlessons that re ected the Maryland Physical

Education Standards and well developed plansthat included multiple activities with pictures,charts, visual aids, and the use of a variety ofassessments linked to state and local curricu-lum. The team also noted that maximum activelearning time was observed in all lessons, withstudents being engaged in movement more than50% of the time; extensive extra-curricular ac-

tivities highlighted the collaboration of the phys-ical education teachers with other teachers andcontent areas; and that the inclusion of wellnessgoals in the School Improvement Plan demon-strated a holistic approach to education.

Physical Education teachers Ms. SabraSzczyglowski and Mr. Shawn Knott are to bcommended on this outstanding achievement.This is the second time that the school has beenidenti ed for this award, having received initialDemonstration School status in 2011.

We hope that many physical educationteachers from across the state will choose to visitthe school to witness outstanding instructionand a commitment to providing students withthe skills and knowledge needed to be physicallyactive for a lifetime.

The Board of County Commissionersvoted unanimously to hold off increasing anyfunding to the Board of Education to forestalla $6.6 million budget shortfall and wait untilthe school systems budget numbers are nal -ized by either August or September once scal2014 has passed.

After about an hour of deliberation onve separate options, one of which would have

had the county provide about $782,000 to cov-er expenses the school system could not man-age, the commissioners decided to wait until

the numbers were rm.Schools Superintendent Michael Marti-rano was actually pleased to hear that electedleaders wanted to give both the county andschool system some scal breathing room.

The conversation today is wonderfulfrom our standpoint, Martirano said.

The decision the commissioners madeessentially allows the school system to contin-ue to make cost savings measures until the endof the year, which may bring the de cit downto less than one percent of their budget of about$193 million.

The one percent gure is important be -cause any amount more than that is the trig-ger for state oversight of the systems scaloperation through the Maryland State Boardof Education.

Commissioners said that was a stigma

they wanted to avoid.I dont want to put St. Marys Countythrough the charge of being dealt with throughthe state, said Commissioner President Fran-cis Jack Russell.

Commissioner Todd Morgan said that theoption they chose was the route to reconcilingthe de cit and avoiding state oversight.

Morgan said he completely concurredwith Russell in keeping control of the schoolsystem local.

For more than a month the county govern-ment and school system have moved back andforth with options on how to bridge the short-fall; the school system sent out feelers to see ifthe county would be willing to fully fund theshortfall without the school board using any ofits reserves but the county seemed willing toonly fund a portion of it while at least one of thecommissioners, Morgan, stood rm on making

no extra funding available to the school system,citing mismanagement on their part.After the school system froze hiring of ad-

ditional staff and curbed other expenditures theamount they would have needed for the shortfallranged from $782,000 to nearly $2.8 million.

County Finance Of cer Elaine Kramersaid emphatically that the county did not havethe reserves to cover the larger gure.

Her staffs recommendation to the com-missioners that they wait to see what the schoolsystems scal numbers would be later this summer was also based on an expected variance inthe income tax disbursement from the state.

Why not wait until August or Septemberwhen youve got the actual numbers, Kramersaid.

With Tuesdays vote option the commis-sioners signaled that they would be willing to

discuss possibly funding the de cit once theschool systems numbers were nalized andbased on actual results according to countydocuments.

Projects ranged fromhosting a Play to be Fit family fun day,which included healthy snacks and games,to disseminating a newsletter featuringinformation about and listing homelessservices, which reached over 800 peoplethrough Facebook and groups. They also

had another group raising more than $500in funds divided between Angels Watch inSt. Marys County and the Crisis Interven-tion Program in St. Marys county, which

both ser ve domestic violence victims. Foradditional information about Salisbury Uni-versitys BASW and MSW program, pleasecontact Kathleen Arban, LCSW-C, Satel-lite Coordinator for the Southern MarylandHigher Education Center Site, at [email protected] or 301-737-2500.

The College of Southern MarylandBoard of Trustees at its May 15 boardmeeting approved the conceptual designand master plan for the colleges new Re-gional Campus to be located on 74 acresin Hughesville. The campus will provideofferings and programs to serve the en-tire region in a more cost-effective andconvenient way.

The master plan, as designed and presented by Grimm + Parker Architects,is designed to create a sense of commu-nity and includes ve phases of growth.The rst phase will be the constructionof a Center for Trades and Energy Train-ing, which has outgrown its currentlyleased 18,000-square-foot facility in

Waldorf. To meet the growing needs ofstudents and these programs, the collegeis planning a 40,000-square-foot facilityat the Regional Campus.

We serve Southern Marylandwith a full-service campus in each ofour counties and no one campus is moreimportant than any other. We deliver afull range of academic programs andservices; however, there are some pro-grams that are too expensive to replicateon more than one campus, such as ourtrades programs and nursing and alliedhealth. It makes much more sense to cen-tralize these programs so residents of allthree counties can take full advantage ofthem. This will allow us to operate in avery cost-effective manner, while being

more conveniently located," CSM Presi-

dent Dr. Brad Gottfried said.Other phases proposed for the cam-

pus and re ected in the master plan in -clude a Health Science building, a FineArts building, a eld house and reloca -tion of the colleges athletic elds as wellas space to accommodate future needs.In presenting the master plan, Grimm+ Parkers Senior Associate David Pre-vette said, This is a beautiful piece of

property with a gentle slope that has a lotof opportunity. He also noted a naturalsense of way nding and provided op -

portunities for gathering into the master plan.

It will be an impressive campus tosee as you drive by, with the Health Sci-

ences Building facing Route 5 and com-manding the site similar to how the Flag-ship Building does at the Prince Fred-erick Campus for passers-by on Route231, Gottfried said during the Trusteemeeting.

In addition to campuses in La Pla-ta, Leonardtown and Prince Frederick,CSM also runs the CTET in Waldorf, theCenter for Transportation Training in LaPlata, and partners with the University ofMaryland, University College in operat-ing the UMUC-CSM Waldorf Center forHigher Education.

A regional community college serv-ing Calvert, Charles and St. Marys coun-ties, CSM serves more than 27,600 creditand continuing education students. For

LEGAL NOTICE

5/29/2014

I have some questions regarding the discussionsabout the Great Bay Wind Energy Center Wind Farm andthe Radar/Range testing at PAX River Naval Air Station.

1. Would the Wind Farm effect all Radar/Rangetesting?

2. If the Wind Farm was shut down any day be -tween 2400 and 0400 could this solve the problem?

3. If during a particular time period there was acon ict, could Air Force Radar/Range testing facilities bemade available to the Navy?

4. Could stealth testing be accomplished bychanging the ight path of the aircraft?

5. Mr. Gillingham has said, Some programs,such as the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter costs millions of dol -lars a day. Those programs are operating at PAX River toconduct aircraft tests that in the long run will help save thelives of pilots and air crews. If the Wind Farm complexwill not be completed and operational for several years,wont the Radar/Range testing of the F-35 and P-8 aircraft

be completed by then?6. According to a story from the Chief of NavalOperations Energy and Environmental Readiness Divi-sion, released on 4/30/14, the Navy and E.ON Climate andRenewables (EC&R) Development, LLC, signed a Memo -randum of Agreement (MOA) to avoid adverse impacts on

Navy ight training from proposed wind turbines near the Naval Weapons System Training Facility at Boardman inOregon. Is anything like a MOA being worked on to re-solve the PAX River/Eastern Shore problem?

7. Stories in the Enterprise and County Timeshave appeared in the past weeks regarding the impact theEastern Shore Wind Farm might have on the PAX River

Naval Air Station. Several people including Mr. Gillingham, County Commissioner Todd Morgan and DelegateJohn Bohanon have insinuated that if the Wind Farm onthe Eastern Shore, as proposed, is installed that it could result in the loss of 20,000 plus jobs on the Base that could

be transferred elsewhere, with a subsequent closing of theBase. With the downsizing of the Defense budget and reduction of Navy funds, do they believe the Navy wouldspend millions of dollars to transfer 20,000 plus jobs andfacilities from PAX River to somewhere else because the

Navy could not do Radar/Range testing at PAX River?Does that sound logical? There is a saying, If you cant

dazzle the Public with brilliance, baf e them with scaretactics. Is there some baf ing going on here?

Robert W. LindsleyLeonardtown, Md.

When it comes to electing the right person to represent us at the lo-cal, state and federal levels of government, experience matters, period. But,experience varies, and not all experience is equal. Look at the current occu -

pant in the White House. President Obamas experience is in campaigningand getting out the vote, but he has failed miserably in managing a nationaleconomy and has continued to expand the federal government. Then youhave Steny Hoyer, he has been on the public payroll his entire life, and aCongressman for over 30 years. He has plenty of experience about how towork Congress, but zero ability to make Congress work for us.

So in the upcoming Republican primary election for the race to llDelegate Johnny Woods seat, I had to take a good look at the three candi -dates vying to run against a Democrat who has an unchallenged primary.All three candidates are ne gentleman, Tommy McKay, Brian PuffBarthleme and Matt Morgan. I would have a cup of coffee with anyone ofthem, and have a great time.

But this is an election with consequences and it should not be, cannot be, about who is the nicer guy. If that is how you are looking to cast yourvote in this primary election, you are doing a disservice to yourself andyour fellow Republicans.

This race is about the best Republican candidate to run against awell-entrenched Democratic majority. It is not as much about who can beatDemocratic candidate Dan Slade, but more about who can beat MarylandsDemocratic machine. We need a candidate who can take on the massive,and formidable Democratic engine that runs, and has been running An -

napolis, and beat it. We need a candidate with the right balance of experi -ence when it comes to knowing how to create a productive and prosperous business, making payroll, creating jobs, balancing budgets and projectingareas where growth can safely happen. We need a candidate who knows St.Marys County, understands the need for better transportation, recognizesthe importance of the PAX River Naval Base, works to reduce our tax bur -den, and increase prosperity for all of us.

After that, I looked at the candidates political savvy. Such as under -standing how the state government interacts with the local county govern-ment and how best to get the politicians across the aisle to serve the voters.There will be times to stand rm and pound the pulpit, and other times tomeet on common ground. Our new Delegate will have to know when to

be bold, when to compromise, and when to persuade. That kind of experi -

ence only comes from being in the trenches. It comes from timespent dealing with every aspect of government. It comes from awillingness to serve the people of St. Marys County, to be an -swerable and accountable for the ways in which our hard earnedtax dollars are spent.

There is only one candidate who ts the bill: Tommy McK -ay. Tommy has beaten this Democratic machine before. Theother two candidates have no experience of facing off against

or competing with this machine. Tommy was born and bred inSt. Marys County. He has been here his entire life and, just likeus, he lives and works here, pays his taxes here, raised his familyhere and understands what the county and state need to do toimprove our quality of living here in St. Marys County.

The other two candidates running for the 29A delegate seatare saying what they want to do, but we have no record of theiraccomplishments when it comes to government reform. Tommy,as our Commissioner President, stated what he intended to doand then he did it!

As Commissioner President for St. Marys County from2002 2006, Tommy was able to bring Republicans and Demo -crats together to solve our most pressing issues of the day. Hereis just a sampling of what was accomplished under Tommysleadership:

Reduced the size of government by eliminating 5government agencies and eliminating senior staff positionswhile still able to improve on the delivery of services!

Reduces taxes 7 times in 4 years! Cut the energy tax rate by 50%!

Capped the Senior property tax to age 70! First Board of County Commissioners to reduce debt

by 25 million dollars! And a host of other services that bene ted our county

during his term as Commissioner President. Go to www.elect -mckay.com and see Tommys accomplishments for yourself

Experience does matter. Tommy has shown that he haswhat it takes to represent us as the next Delegate for 29A fromSt. Marys County. At the League of Women Voters/NAACPForum (only Tommy and Matt attended that forum) and in theRepublican Womens Forum (all three candidates attended),Tommy clearly showed that his depth of knowledge on the issues

facing us today far surpass those of Puff and Matt. In answeringthe questions, Tommy was the only one of the candidates whogave solution based answers.

You will most likely hear lots of rhetoric about the issueson various candidates from a variety of sources. I urge you toshy away from the negative aspect of politics and focus on thecandidates records. What they have been able to accomplish is aclear indication of what they will do for us on the future.

I have whole heartedly endorsed Tommy McKay to be ourrst Republican Delegate for St. Marys County. I hope that youwill join me in supporting Tommys campaign and effort to takeMaryland into a new direction!

Last, but not least; I would like to thank all of the peoplewho voted for me in the 2010 primary election to serve as a mem -

ber of the St. Marys County Republican Central Committee. Itwas an honor and a privilege to serve you, my fellow countyRepublicans. In the almost 4 years of service I feel the com -mittee and its current members have excelled at re-invigoratingthe party. We worked hard, alongside the Republican Club andthe Republican Womans Club to make St. Marys County a Re -

publican county for the rst time ever in 2012. The ranks of theRepublican Party continue to grow to this day!

It is with a bit of sadness that I have formally resigned fromthe committee. I have done this because I believe that my effortsto help strengthen our county and state will be more effective

by actively supporting those candidates I feel will best serve theinterests of our citizens. I felt it would not be right for me to stayon the committee and work on the campaigns of those I support.

In the upcoming primary election, June 12 19 for earlyvoting and June 24 all polls are open. I encourage all of thosewho supported me, to please support Tommy McKay for Repub -lican State Delegate for 29A along with all of my hard workingfriends currently serving as members of the St. Marys CountyRepublican Central Committee (SMCRCC); Mary Burke-Rus -sell, Julie Burk-Greer, Kevin Cioppa, Joe DiMarco, Lou Sierraand Ellynne Brice-Davis. I am also supporting my good friendsBarbara Thompson, Jodi Stanalonis and David Willenborg whoare running for the SMCRCC.

For 40 years, the Cove Point LNG Terminal has worked to protect thehealth and natural beauty of the Chesapeake Bayand we wont stop now.

As Dominion moves forward with its Cove Point LNG export projectwhich will provide asignicant economic boost to Calvert County our top priority continues to be making surethat a 40-year commitment to the Chesapeake Bay ecosystem remains intact.

Dominion has an extensive environmental conservation plan in place at Cove Point. Evenafter adding export capabilities to our 1,000-acre site, nearly 80 percent of the land willremain a pristine nature preserve.

The nearby freshwater marshlands will still provide homes for several species of insects,amphibians and plants. Well keep using indigenous plants in our landscaping. Wellcollaborate further with environmentalists to protect endangered vegetation and animals in

and around our property. And well work closely with government agencies, as well as locallandowners, to ensure that, as we build, the impacts on our community and your day-to-dayroutines are minimal.

Were proud that Calvert County has come to expect this spirit of stewardship from us. Afterall, weve provided $2.3 million in charitable grants and donations in Maryland over the pastdecade, been commended for our efforts to restore the Chesapeake Bays oyster population,

and led an initiative to save the largest freshwater marsh on the bays western shore.In short, Dominion understands the importance of respecting the environment and preservingSouthern Marylands quality of life. At Cove Point, were about to prove it to you once again.

Before. After.
