Last Annual Michael D. Schrodel Memorial Golf Tournament

By Sarah MillerStaff Writer

After 14 years, this year marks the last for the Michael D. Schrodel Memorial Golf Tournament.

The tournament has been held annu-ally “in memory of Michael D. Schrodel, who left us at the very young age of 33 years old,” said tournament coordinator and friend of the Schrodel family Mike Vermillion. “It’s an annual event that brings together Michael’s old and new friends, as well as family and local com-munity members to celebrate his life and help us all remember him.”

Money from the tournament has gone to fund a scholarship at Frostburg State University, a college fund for Carmen Schrodel, and a donation to Calvert Hospice.

The traditional venue for the tourna-ment, Twin Shields Golf Course, will be

closing later this year. Because of this, it will be the last year for the tournament.

The proceeds have been used to fund Michael’s daughter’s college education as well as support his alma mater Frostburg State University and the local area Cal-

vert Hospice program.The tournament has been a

way for Michael’s friends to get together, said Teresa Schrodel, Mi-chael’s widow. For Carmen, it has been a way to get to know her father through stories and memories, Teresa said. Car-men was two when Michael died.

The tournament will be held on Friday July 24, at the Twin Shields Golf Club. Entry is $125 per person. Sponsorships will be available for $150, and donations are still be accepted.

The tournament will be a 4-man scramble format and there is a shotgun start at 8:30 a.m. Prizes, awards and re-

freshments will be provided in addition to snacks and a catered BBQ lunch. Sev-eral other contests will be held, such as: Drive 4 Show, Putt 4 Dough, Longest Drive, Closest to the Pin, and Hole-in-One Wins a Land Rover from Alexandria Land Rover.

For more information, contact Sch-rodel at Medart Galleries: 10735 Town Center Blvd. Suite 1 in Dunkirk, Md. or go online to www.birdeasepro.com/MichaelDSchrodelGolfClassic

The Calvert County Board of Coun-ty Commissioners (BOCC) is pleased to announce the promotion of Paula Grover Gray to the position of direc-tor of the Calvert County Office of Personnel. Gray replaces Gail Davis Bourdon, who retired in June after 26 years of service.

Gray has worked for Calvert County Government for 35 years. Hired as an office machine operator with the then Department of Administration and Finance, she has moved up the ranks of the human resources and personal departments throughout her career. She has held the positions of person-nel coordinator, personnel specialist and acting personnel director. For the last 15 years, Gray has served as the manager of the Office of Personnel.

Gray earned a bachelor’s degree in technology and management with a labor relations concentration. She was appointed by the BOCC to the Em-ployee Recognition Committee (ERC) from 1981 to 1985 and to the Commis-sion for Women from 1986 to 1989, serv-ing as its chairperson in 1988. She has also served on the boards of directors for the Southern Maryland Community Network and for the Human Resource Association of Southern Maryland, where she also held positions as secre-tary, vice president and president.

A well-respected human resource pro-fessional in Southern Maryland, Gray is excited for her new opportunity. “I am committed to creating a workforce that is responsive to the needs of inter-nal customers and the people of Calvert County,” she said. “I am grateful for the opportunity to serve as personnel direc-tor and look forward to continuing the

relationships I have developed over the years.”

The Calvert County Office of Person-nel provides employment-related ser-vices to current employees, managers and the job-seeking public.

Commissioner’s CornerI would like to take this op-portunity to thank the citizens of the Breezy Point community, especially Gary and Pam Busch-ling, and Animal Control Officers Amy Howard, Fred Sheckles and Christie Montgomery and the Or-phaned Wildlife Rescue Center of Lusby for the outstanding efforts they put forth to recover a lost dog or assist in the aftermath. A for-mer student of mine had adopted the dog about a week prior to the escape. After pushing open the front door of the house, the dog ran almost a mile away to the Breezy Point Estates and was tak-ing up house in Gary and Pam’s yard. We tried unsuccessfully for two days to recover the dog, who would dart away if we got too close. The entire community was helping us to recover the dog. It started with a community email so that everyone understood the situation. Every single home I stopped at to ask if they had seen the dog, was friendly and helpful. One family, whose name I did not get, even packed their kids in the car and was driving around help-ing us to search. I couldn’t have picked a better community for this dog to get lost in. Gary and his wife saw the dog in their yard and called me right away. The Buschlings graciously did what-ever we needed them to do. They offered their support in many ways including allowing animal control to set up a trap and being willing to check the trap every so often. Gary and Pam expressed their love of dogs to us and never made us feel like we were a bur-den. Gary would keep in touch with me by phone all throughout the day and night when I wasn’t

over there trying to do what I could personally. Animal Control Officer Amy Howard drove to Lusby to pick up a trap from Offi-cer Sheckles, who spoke with me and offered the trap, and drove it all the way to Chesapeake Beach to set it up. She tried for hours to help us catch the dog. She even came back on her day off with her personal dog to see if that would help coax the dog closer. Animal Control Officer Montgomery also assisted over the weekend to as-sess the situation and provide further assistance. The Animal Control department was excep-tional in their giving of time and expertise. Many do not realize the genuine level of care they have for all animals. We, as a county, are lucky to have those particular animal control officers working for us. I’d also like to sincerely thank the Orphaned Wildlife Res-cue Center and Dr. Ron Wexler of Lusby for taking in the opossum that got stuck in the trap and was severely injured. They agreed to help without question, and should receive all of our support for ev-erything they do on a daily ba-sis to help injured and orphaned wildlife. We sure didn’t expect to get wildlife involved in this, but that’s the way it went. The dog fi-nally came close enough to Gary on his porch that we were able to recover her, unharmed and safe after almost three days of non-stop efforts. Thank you to every-one who helped resolve this emo-tionally draining situation! I’ve never met nicer people.

A Letter of Thanks

Calvert County ranks seventh in Mary-land in its local funding per pupil: ($7,150) following Worcester ($12,046), Montgomery ($9,817), Howard ($9,626), Kent ($8,637), Talbot ($8,181), and Anne Arundel ($7,814). Caroline County funds the least at $2,563. Our funding is in the top third of the state.

Student enrollment in our county was 11,000 in 1990; up to 17,015 in 2006, but now declined to 15,594 in 2014 (last seen in 2000), with continual declining projected for ten more years (2025).

In the 1990’s increasing student enroll-ment meant our county was essentially build-ing a new school every year (1995, Patuxent High; 1996, Windy Hill Elementary; 1997, St. Leonard Elementary/Southern Middle School addition; 1998, Windy Hill Middle; 1999, Dowell Elementary; and 2000, Mill Creek Middle). In 2005, Huntingtown High and in 2008, Barstow Elementary were con-structed and new Calvert Middle opened in 2011.

When the current student population level existed in early 2000’s, (and then projected to continue increasing) a high school, middle school, and an elementary school were add-ed to the inventory. Since then, our student population returned to the year 2000 levels continuing to decrease.

Instead of decreasing, if the student enroll-ment numbers were increasing, the conver-sation would be about building new schools; yet, where is the conversation about decreas-ing enrollments?

The Board of Education (BOE) and Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) are two separately elected boards each with their own area of responsibility. The BOE and BOCC work together and both dialogue with the public. The public conversation is the most important aspect of this relationship.

The BOE advocates for the school system for education similarly to the Sheriff’s Of-

fice for law enforcement. The BOCC ensures the maximum service from each while taking as little money as possible out of the citizens’ pocket. Yet, more than simply requesting money from the BOCC, the BOE performs an important role in building their budget, now constrained by a non-recovering U.S. Economy; and even more so challenged now by declining student enrollment.

Should the BOE look at future enrollment declines and strategically determine a new way forward? Private businesses rethink their approach due to a declining customer base. BOE should re-look their approach, goals, methodology, and seek new ways to ensure our students receive the best educa-tion. It’s not always about the money. While our teachers and support staff are not com-pensated enough for their contributions, everyone should step back and relook at the new economic realities.

Declining enrollment could mean consoli-dating schools and redistricting (a role solely the responsibility of the BOE). As a commis-sioner, advocating such is not my role, but instead to identify the trending data and ask questions. It is the role of citizens to also dia-logue with the BOE pertaining to the BOE’s vision and plans to address the declining en-rollment. On this important topic, where are the schools?

He was ar-rested and incarcerated at the Calvert County Detention Center.

Fatal Crash: On July 13, 2015 at approximately

12:12 AM, Cpl. West was respond-ing to the Prince Frederick Barrack to conduct a DRE evaluation. Prior to his arrival he encountered two motor-cycles in the roadway in the area of Plum Point Middle School, on Plum Point Road in Huntingtown. Kyle Brandon Neri, the operator of a 2011 Black Suzuki motorcycle failed to ne-gotiate a curve and was ejected from his motorcycle. Neri was flown from the scene by Medstar to Washington Hospital Center where he succumbed to his injuries. Alcohol was a factor in the crash. Tpr. J. Warrick and TFC Buckalew are investigating the crash. The operator of the second motor-cycle, Kevin Smith, stopped to assist Neri.

On July 6, at approximately 2:49 a.m., an armed robbery occurred at the 7-Elev-en Convenience store located at 3588 Old Town Road in Huntingtown. During the robbery a male suspect entered the store and brandished a black handgun and de-manded money. The male suspect fled to a dark colored SUV or truck and left the scene. The male suspect was described as a thin white male. He was described to wear a black hooded sweatshirt with the hood over his head and black and white bandana covering his face. Fur-ther he was wearing black gloves, blue jeans and black shoes. The gun was de-scribed as a black handgun.

On July 9, at approximately 4 a.m., an armed robbery occurred at the 7-Eleven store, 13974 HG Trueman Road, Solo-mons in Md. An unknown white male subject entered the store wearing a black hooded jacket, black gloves, blue jeans, and black boots with a white/black mask covering his face. This suspect was armed with a black semi-automatic handgun. The suspect encountered the

only store employee towards the rear of the store and demanded money. The store employee complied and the suspect made way with US Currency.

After reviewing the video footage, it was believed that the same suspect com-mitted both robberies.

Based on the timeframes of the two robberies occurring, it was very prob-able there would be a third similar rob-bery in the near future. At the direc-tion of Sheriff Mike Evans, the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Inves-tigative Bureau put together an opera-tion to conduct surveillance on all of the convenience stores in Calvert County.

Personnel from within the Sheriff’s Of-fice as well as from the Southern Mary-land Information Center (SMIC) joined forces to conduct the operation which began on July 10 at midnight.

During the early morning hours of July 10, Detective Cameron of the Cal-vert County Sheriff’s Office and Detec-tive Simonds of the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office (both assigned to SMIC) were conducting surveillance on the Lusby and St. Leonard Fast Stop conve-nience stores.

While conducting a check of the St. Leonard Fastop, detectives encountered a suspicious vehicle matching the de-scription of the vehicle used in the first two robberies. The detectives set up surveillance in the area and observed the vehicle as it continued to engage in suspicious activity. The detectives called for marked Sheriff’s Office units to respond to the area to assist. The on

scene detectives requested the marked units conduct a traffic stop on the Dodge Dakota 4 door truck bearing Mary-land registration 9AK8162. When units stopped the truck it was being operated by Bethani Yvonne Wood and Steven E. Garner. During the traffic stop several pieces of evidence were recovered to link the vehicle and its occupants to the previous 7-11 robberies. Both Wood and Garner were arrested and transported to the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office for questioning. Wood and Garner were charged accordingly and were trans-ported to the Calvert County Detention Center to await their hearings before a District Court Commissioner.

From land to water, the Patuxent Habi-tat for Humanity is gearing up for the third annual Warrior Fun Run and Sail.

The event is a 5K run in the morning and a regatta in the afternoon, according to Patuxent Habitat for Humanity repre-sentative Trich Trapp. The Warrior Fun Run is scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 22. This year’s 5K will be a timed run, so se-rious runners will be able to use it as a practice for additional races later in the year.

The Southern Maryland Sailing Asso-ciation (SMSA) is working with Patuxent Habitat for Humanity to host the regatta. Additionally, SMSA will host the cap-tain’s meeting the night before the event and open for packet pickup the day of the fun run and sail.

“They’ve been really supportive,” Trapp said.

SMSA members Cindy and Gary Lohman have taken the lead in organiz-ing the regatta.

The Lohmans are a gold star family. Their son, United States Army SGT Ryan

Baumann was killed in action on Aug. 1, 2008.

During the first annual Warrior Fun Run and Sail, fellow SMSA member Spence Waite encouraged Gary and Cin-dy to get involved.

The regatta will be held in the Chesa-peake Bay or in the Patuxent River, de-pending on wind conditions. During the first two years, the race was set up like a formal SMSA race. This year’s race will be simplified to make it easier on any sail-or who brings their boat out, Gary said.

All proceeds from the fundraiser will go toward Veteran Critical Home Re-pairs. The Patuxent Habitat for Human-ity began its first Veteran Critical Home Repairs in 2012 using a grant from Home Depot. Since the grant ran out, the Patux-ent Habitat for Humanity has been raising money to continue the program and offer assistance to local veterans.

Repairs can range from building a ramp to a variety of internal and external renovations. One veteran was rendered a quadriplegic in a skydiving accident, and Habitat for Humanity volunteers gutted and redesigned his home to allow him to continue to live independently.

Not all projects are so drastic, Trapp said. Veterans or their families are welcome to submit potential projects to the Patuxent Habitat for Humanity for consideration at any time during the year, and if their ini-tial application is accepted a representative will visit the veteran’s home to determine whether the project is in the scope of what Habitat for Humanity can do.

“This does a world of good,” Cindy said. “Even the smallest project can make a lot of difference.”

The 5K begins at 8 a.m., followed by a boat parade at 10 a.m. Any boat is welcome to join the parade, Trapp said, but the regat-ta, which is scheduled to begin at 11 a.m., is open to sail boats only.

During the fundraiser, there will be a me-morial wall for veterans served by Habitat

for Humanity. Runners and sailors are encouraged to bring pictures of their loved ones to display on the wall, Cindy said. Participants in the boat parade should decorate their boat in red, white and blue in keeping with the theme of the Warrior Fun Run and Sail, Cindy said.

Anyone wanting to participate in the regatta but doesn’t have a boat should contact the Lohmans.

Register by Aug. 7 to guarantee your t-shirt. Beginning Aug. 8, all fees will increase by $5 and t-shirts may or may not be available race day. Registration forms are available at www.patuxen-thabitat.org and www.smsa.com.

Thursday, July 16, 2015The Calvert County Times14 EducationFitting Frames


The Calvert County Public Schools Citizen Advisory Committee (CCPS CAC) presented their findings for the past year’s study into challenges facing county schools.

The CAC is a group of community rep-resentatives and students from each of the four high school districts that studies various areas of concern in CCPS, as di-rected by the Board of Education (BOE).

The topics the CAC studied this year were nutrition and wellness, closing the achievement gap, and the viability of ac-tivity busses for CCPS students.

The CAC divided into sub-committees to study each topic, said CAC chairwom-an Terese Wells during the presentation to the BOE.

The subcommittee in charge of studying nutrition and wellness reviewed existing policy and procedures and recommended CCPS “use draft Nutrition Wellness pol-icy and procedures as the basis for a re-view, within established CCPS guidelines for reviewing Policy and Procedures.”

The sub-committee studying the achievement gap recommended CCPS look further into what motivates and in-fluences students to take honors and AP classes and how that varies by demo-graphic, identify best practices for use by teachers and parents to support and en-courage students to pursue honors and AP level courses, and determine the effect of the selection process of various schools on students pursuing honors and AP classes.

On the topic of activity busses to transport students home from after school activities, sub-committee mem-bers found there is interest among stu-dents in such busses, but the proposal

is cost prohibitive. The committee rec-ommended CPS select a pilot school to determine how much an activity bus would be used and look for a grant to help offset the cost of implementing ac-tivity busses on a larger scale.

Citizen Advisory Committee Makes Recommendations on

Student Health, the Achievement Gap, and Transportation

The history of the United States is built on the efforts of all types of heroes, be they soldiers, inventors or civil rights workers. At Calvert Library Prince Frederick Branch, a weekly event, Star Spangled Heroes, offers children the chance to learn all about it, teach-ing them that there are many types of heroes.

This is the first year the library has put on the event, which was created to compliment the theme of the library’s summer reading program.

“This is our first year of doing this event. We just decided to do it around our theme this year for summer reading, which is, ‘Every hero has a story,’ so it lends itself well to that,” Youth Services Coordinator Beverly Izzi said.

The weekly gathering is geared to-ward children third grade and up, par-ticularly targeting older elementary

school students, Izzi said. Through Star Spangled Heroes, participating children will learn about heroes of history from various professions.

“They’re going to learn a little bit about different heroes, U.S. heroes, from legendary heroes like Paul Bun-yan to adventure heroes to inventors and civil rights heroes,” Izzi said.

The event runs every Tuesday this July, and every week features a differ-ent theme. The upcoming lesson on July 21, will address Inventive Heroes. The lesson previously planned for July 7, Legendary Heroes, will now be offered on Aug. 4, after being canceled in the beginning of the month due to a water main break in the library, Izzi said.

If your child is interested all types of heroes, be sure to look into this library event.

Calvert County Public Schools is looking for opportunities to give stu-dents real world experience in the workplace.

Working with mentors and intern-ships can be instrumental in helping stu-dents decide what careers they are most interested in, said Career and Technol-ogy Academy Mentorship Coordinator Susan Cross.

Students who come into the program have to meet certain criteria, including having taken two honors courses or ad-vanced placement (AP) courses, Cross said. She accepts approximately 40 stu-dents into the mentorship program ev-ery year

Before they are matched with a men-tor, students meet with Cross and dis-cuss their goals for the future, includ-ing college and career goals. She goes into the community to find just the right placements for them, and checks up with students and mentors to make sure

everything is working out. Students have to spend a minimum of

30 to 50 hours with their mentors. Cross tries to ensure students will have some-thing to take out of the experience, be it projects to use in a portfolio or con-nections in the professional community they can use in the future.

Cross has gotten students interested in broadcast journalism placed with Star 93.7 and is searching for an oppor-tunity for a student interested in work-ing with individuals with developmen-tal disabilities.

In addition to getting them experi-ence that will look good on college ap-plications and in future opportunities, the mentorship program has helped students find out what is not for them before paying thousands of dollars at college, Cross said.

Opportunities

The Board of Education of Calvert County Public Schools and the Cal-vert Education Association (CEA) have reached a tentative negotiated agreement for the 2015-2016 school year.

The new agreement includes language regarding evaluation, transfers, tuition reimbursement, teacher work time, ac-quired hours and compensation.

No salary or step increases were in-cluded in the tentative agreement. The parties agreed, however, that further

negotiations may occur if additional un-restricted operating funds—in excess of those necessary to support programs and services deemed by the Superinten-dent as essential to the operation of the system, as well as those funds necessary to eliminate the currently projected defi-cit—become available to the school sys-tem from state or county funding sources during FY16.

CEA and the Board must now ratify the tentative agreement.

Forest StewardshipForest land is important to the overall health of the Chesapeake Bay. Forests provide several layers, from the canopy to the forest floor, that act as filters, improve water quality, reduce sedimen-tation, remove nutrients, and regulate stream flow during storms.Maryland’s 2.5 million acres of forest, most of it privately owned, cover ap-proximately 42% of its land area. St. Mary’s County’s land area is about 50% forested, and has more than 400 miles of shoreline. Wooded buffers along these shorelines are critical to improv-ing Bay health. Acre for acre, forested lands produced the least amount of run-off and pollution. The County occupies a forest transitional zone, where the dominant tree species vary from oak/hickory to tulip poplar to sweet gum/red maple and loblolly pine.Forests can be harvested on a sus-tainable basis for materials, including structural lumber, crates, shelving and furniture, flooring, mulch, and pulp for paper. Forests can, in most cases, provide these products while

also maintaining and even enhancing wildlife habitat, recreational activities, and soil conservation. Timber harvests are closely monitored by a partnership of agencies, including St. Mary’s Soil Conservation District and St. Mary’s County Department of Land Use and Growth Management.

Plant a TreeGo to trees.maryland.gov for informa-tion on planting trees. There is a Rec-ommended Tree List for the program Marylanders Plant Trees. There is a $25.00 coupon on the website for pur-chasing a tree. However, the tree must be on the eligible list of trees. There are 14 small trees, or 29 large trees on the list that is updated periodically.County residents with questions about woodland stewardship and manage-ment, as well as timber harvesting, should contact a certified forester. The State of Maryland maintains a database of private Licensed Professional Forest-ers (LPFs), who work cooperatively with

the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Forest Service to assist land-owners with implementation of timber harvests. Lists of LPFs can be found at the DNR Web site below.Where to get help with…FOREST STEWARDSHIP QUESTIONS• Maryland Dept. of Natural Resources,

Lt. Governor Boyd Rutherford was joined today by Maryland State Depart-ment of Education Superintendent Dr. Lillian Lowery, Department of General Services Secretary Gil Bassette, and De-partment of Human Resources Secretary (DHR) Sam Malhotra to officially kick off the YouthWorks Summer Internship Pro-gram with a welcoming ceremony. Student participants, who started their internships on June 29, will participate in a five-week summer jobs program.

In June, Governor Larry Hogan an-nounced $3.13 million in state funding to provide approximately 8,100 Balti-more City youth residents with summer job opportunities and work experience. Allocated to the Youth Works and Hire One Youth programs through the Depart-ment of Labor, Licensing and Regulation (DLLR), funds were provided through a combination of a DHR and DLLR grant administered to Baltimore City for youth job opportunity programs. Funding was already provided in the state budget, and

private funding was secured by state and city officials.

“This is a great opportunity to provide our young people with summer jobs and set the foundation for them to become productive members of Maryland’s work-force,” said Lt. Governor Rutherford. “I commend the YouthWorks program, as well as the participating state agencies, for providing our youth with real work envi-ronments that will impact their lives for years to come.”

The program, whose slogan is “Summer Jobs Launch Careers,” runs until July 31 and gives Baltimore City young people between the ages 14 and 21 opportunities to work with mentors who will help them develop positive work habits and attitudes, as well as learn skills related to and job requirements, career development, and financial literacy. Currently, DGS has 23 YouthWorks interns who have been placed in various divisions within the agency; MSDE has 24 at its Baltimore City head-quarters, and DHR has 17.

“We are so excited about having these students at DGS for five weeks,” Secretary Bassette said. “We’re going to make it a worthwhile experience that they can look back on and say it made a positive differ-ence. Maybe five or ten years from now, one of these students will return as a DGS employee.”

“This is a wonderful opportunity not only to expose these teens and young adults to potential career pathways, but also to help them develop the important ‘soft’ skills they’ll need to succeed in the future, such as working in teams, complet-ing assigned projects, and developing a strong work ethic,” said Dr. Lowery.

Secretary Malhotra said of the program, “Summer jobs can launch careers, and that’s what we hope happens here. But more than that, this real-world experience will give each DHR intern an advantage, not only when they interview for jobs or work in a professional environment, but in everyday life as an adult.”

Press Release

Annmarie Sculpture Garden & Arts Center in Solomons, Maryland, is hosting a Gallery Talk on July 19th from 1 - 2:30 p.m. Admission is Free. Come enjoy one of our monthly gallery talks. Res-ervations not required and admission to the talk will be free. This month’s talk is entitled, From Workhouse to Wifi: New art for a new age of wom-en’s rights. Artist Julia Dzikiewicz will discuss a short history of women’s civil disobedience, from the era of the Suffragettes to the modern day. She will also elaborate on how to create a politically meaningful piece of art in the difficult medium of encaustic, also known as hot wax painting. A touch table will be available to handle sample encaustic work while the artist demonstrates some basic en-

caustic techniques.Encaustic is a Greek word meaning “to heat or

burn in” (enkaustikos). Heat is used throughout the process, from melting the beeswax and varnish to fusing the layers of wax. Encaustic consists of natural bees wax and dammar resin (crystallized tree sap). The medium can be used pigmented or alone for its transparency and adhesive qualities. Pigments may be added to the medium, or pur-chased already colored with traditional pigments. The medium is melted and applied with a brush or any tool. Each layer is then reheated to fuse it to the previous layer.

“I think maybe all this will sink in to-

morrow.” Were the words from David Wil-liams after he collected his third win of the season in last Friday nights 20-lap Limited Late Model feature at Potomac speedway. The win for Williams, aboard his Sommey and Ruth Ann Lacey owned Rocket no.45, was his milestone 100th overall feature win in a career that’s spanned nearly three decades.

Brandon Long and Billy Tucker shared the front row for the start with Tucker surging into the race lead as the field zipped down the backstretch. As Tucker lead, fourth-starting David Williams tucked into second and went after Tucker. Williams snared the lead from Tucker on the eleventh circuit, however, the race was far from over. Tenth starting Daryl Hills was coming in a hurry and applied relentless pressure to Williams over the final nine laps but would have to settle for runner-up money as Williams repelled the challenges to post the win. “I knew Daryl was there.” Williams stated. “He’s got a fast race car and I knew he start-ed pretty far back, so I knew I couldn’t make any mistakes.” The ever humble Williams was very proud to get his 100th win for his current car owners. “This win tonight is about all the people who’ve helped me over the years.” Quipped Wil-liams. “Sommey, Ruth Ann and all the people who put this deal together are the ones who deserve all the credit. I’m re-ally happy to get this win in their car, at out home track.” Tucker settled for third, Brandon Long took fourth with defending track champion Tyler Emory rounding out the top-five. Heats went to Williams and Tucker.

Mike Latham drove to his third win of the season in the 16-lap Street Stock main. Latham, who lined up fourth for the start, took the top spot on lap one and would lead the distance to post his 40th career division feature win. Barry Williams took

second, 11th starting Mike Franklin was third, with Scotty Nelson and Mike Ra-leigh completing the top-five. Heats went to Williams and Latham.

In other action, defending track cham-pion Jonathan Raley scored his third win of the season and career 16th in the 15-lap Hobby Stock feature, Ed Pope Sr. also be-came a 16-time Potomac winner with his third win of 2015 in the 25-lap Strictly stock main with Mikey Latham posting win number two of the season in the 15-lap U-Car feature.

Maryland Interna-tional Raceway is set to host the Professional Drag Racers Associa-tion (PDRA) July 17-18, for the first annual PDRA North-South Shootout Nationals.

The Professional Drag Racing Association brings the baddest eighth mile action in the country with 200+ MPH blown, turbo and nitrous machines. The biggest names in the Pro Mod racing will be battling it out for crucial PDRA points down the historic MDIR track, in the sixth of ten stops on the circuits ‘16 race schedule.

MDIR has always been a favorite home for doorslammer action and now the doorslammer organization will make its MDIR debut. Pro Extreme, the bad boys of the PDRA, features racers from around the world with current points leader Badir Ahli and teammate Mustafa Buhumaid giving class heroes Jason Scruggs and Todd Tut-terow a run for their money. In Pro Nitrous it’s all about the spray as these fire breathing machines rocket down 660 feet in less than four seconds. Pro Boost provides some of the tightest competition in the PDRA when turbo and blown cars face off against each other. And for bike lovers, the two-wheeled monsters of Pro Extreme Motorcycle bring their own brand of insane excitement.

Plus, the North-South Shootout will also feature the 10.5 Outlaws and Pro Open Out-laws. Running at top speeds on 10.5 inch tires, it’s a fight just to keep it straight for four seconds for the 10.5 Outlaws. Then it’s

run whatcha brung in Pro Open Outlaws, the class that provides a stage for dragster and altered bodies to duke it out for the North-South Shootout title.

The PDRA is also home to incredible Top Sportsman and Top Dragster action. First, drivers must battle it out

to qualify for the 16 car field before dialing it in and racing against their time in eliminations. And don’t miss the young guns of the sport duke it out in Pro and Top Junior Dragster.

If that’s not enough, the Tulsa County Heat Wave Jet Car is sure to put an exclama-tion on the awesome PDRA show.

Set in the Roman era, “A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum,” tells the story of a cunning slave named Pseudolus who is trying to gain his freedom by help-ing his master, Hero, woo a young, beauti-ful courtesan. To the tune of a live orchestra, the stage takes on choreography and musical numbers, some innuendos and not-so-innu-endos and humor from start to finish.

“It is a silly comedy in the vain of Laurel and Hardy or The Three Stooges,” said actor Zeke Poiro who plays Pseudolus. “It is full of innuendo and antics, and acrobatics and fun.”

According to Music Theatre International, “A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum” opened on Broadway in 1962 and was written by both Burt Shevelove and Larry Gelbart. The musical numbers were written and composed by Stephen Sondheim and the musical itself was inspired by the Ro-man playwright Plautus. It won several Tony Awards, including Best Musical and Best Author (Musical). Since its debut, it has been adapted to the screen and has been performed in a variety of countries.

The Newtowne Players have been work-ing since April to prepare for their opening performance that premiered Friday, July 10. Their production brings new talent to the stage and casts bigger roles for upcoming stars, such as Poiro.

“This is his first starring role, probably the biggest role we’ve seen him in and we’ve al-ways known he was talented,” said Director Michelle Ebert Freire. “But in this particular role I think audiences are just going to delight in discovering this guy…I just can’t give him enough praise.”

On stage, the actors are surrounded by re-alistic, detailed sets decorated by Linda San-

born and dressed in eye-catching costumes designed by Joanne Fuesel.

“We have a very good production value for being a small theatre,” said Poiro. “…When you think community theatre you don’t think high production value, good costumes, good props. We have all that and it makes the show a lot better.”

Throughout the two acts, audiences will follow the story as it twists and turns through potions, disguises, a master in a tub, a house full of courtesans, a virgin on a roof and in-teractions with the actors themselves. It is sure to entertain.

“There is so much rich, actual culture here now,” said actor J.R. Cook who plays Hyste-rium. “People should go out and see it.”

“It’s just a good night out to have fun and laugh,” said Freire.

“A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum” runs a total of four weeks from July 10 to Aug. 2, varying in weekday and matinee showings, according to the the-atre troupe’s website www.newtowneplay-ers.org. Tickets range from $13 to $18 and are available online or by phone at 301-737-5447. Tickets can be reserved up to 90 min-utes prior to the performance. Before taking a seat or during intermission, attendees can also enjoy a small art show displaying origi-nal works from eight of the 30 artists from the Color and Light Society. According to their brochure, they are a society of visual artists from the tri-county area with talents ranging from oil to photography and wa-tercolor to woodworking. The musical and the art show will be presented at the Three Notch Theatre located 21744 South Coral Dr. in Lexington Park. For more informa-tion visit www.newtowneplayers.org.

From the results of scientific inquiry to the creative minds of science fiction authors and fans, this exhibit celebrates how space has stimulated human understanding and creativity. From the big bang theory to worm holes and warp speed, artists have created works that bring to life what we know of space and what we imagine. Assembled here is a vibrant and diverse selec-tion of works that speak to our fascination with the cosmos.
