After waiting 10 years due to funding and permitting delays, the Town of
Leonardtown finally began to upgrade
its Van Wert Lane waste water treatment plant last week.
On Monday, the town council approved the loan financing of the project to the amount of $7.5 million; the
funding will help complete the longmandated project designed to improve
the plants ability to remove nutrients
like nitrogen and phosphorous that, in
large amounts, act like pollutants in the
watershed.
The enhanced nutrient removal project will not add any capacity to the
plant, however, town officials say.
To ensure that the project can go
forward the town is hiring an outside
contractor to handle the processing and
removal of sludge from the treatment
plant while the upgrades continue, said
Town Administrator Laschelle McKay.
There are 300 tons worth of sludge
on drying palettes right now in town,
McKay said, and the project requires
a sludge press to be rented at a cost of
$12,500 a month, while the operator of

Court Filings
Give Insight Into
Toddlers Death
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
The case of John Junek, the man initially accused of involuntary manslaughter last year after his infant son died after
his father left him in a hot car at Patuxent
River Naval Air Station, continues on in
federal court with a trial expected sometime in the near future. But his defense
attorney Robert Bonsib is arguing that
Junek was not aware that he had left his
child unattended.
The defendant never knowingly, willfully, or intentionally left any child unattended for any reason, even for a second,
Bonsib wrote in a June 22 court filing at
the U.S. District Court in Greenbelt.
Back in May federal prosecutors
dropped charges of involuntary manslaughter against Junek, 40, of Leonardtown and amended the single charge to
illegally confining his 17-month-old son
in the vehicle on Sept. 3 of last year as he
was going to work on the base.
In his argument, which seeks a pretrial ruling on the meaning of statutory
language, Bonsib said his client was
flooded with responsibilities on the
day his son died and that day was only
the second time Junek was responsible
for taking his son to the daycare center
on base.
Bonsib said the trip with Junek and the
17-month-old began right after he had
dropped his older son off at school.
That drive lasted approximately 20
minutes, Bonsib wrote. In that time
frame [the victim] did not make a peep
or a stir in anyway. The defendant, while
driving, was thinking about work, the
things he had to get done that day, including the fact that he would be presenting to a three star admiral at 1 p.m. that
afternoon.
Driving became secondary as the
defendant was on autopilot while these
thoughts swirled in his mind.

2008.
During the first annual Warrior Fun
Run and Sail, fellow SMSA member
Spence Waite encouraged Gary and Cindy
to get involved.
The regatta will be held in the Chesapeake Bay or in the Patuxent River, depending on wind conditions. During the
first two years, the race was set up like a
formal SMSA race. This years race will
be simplified to make it easier on any sailor who brings their boat out, Gary said.
All proceeds from the fundraiser will
go toward Veteran Critical Home Repairs.
The Patuxent Habitat for Humanity began
its first Veteran Critical Home Repairs
in 2012 using a grant from Home Depot.
Since the grant ran out, the Patuxent 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.

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 initial application is accepted a representative will visit the veterans 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

About a week after vice chair of the St.
Marys County Board of Education, Rita
Weaver, resigned her position because of
what she considered a threatening e-mail
sent to her from another board member, The
County Times has learned that a subsequent
vote by the board found that it was no threat
at all.
In a letter addressed to Weaver signed by
Board Chair Karin Bailey, she stated that after the board members considered Weavers
allegations of being threatened, the members found they were not substantiated.
Weaver remains a member of the school
board.
At the conclusion of the boards discussion, the board unanimously determined
that the e-mail did not rise to the level of
a threat and did not warrant any further
action by the board, the letter read. The
board further determined that it would not
be appropriate to forward your request to [
the boards legal counsel] of the Office of
Administrative Hearings for action, to censure [or] reprimand the board member in
question, or to read your prepared statement
during the public segment of Wednesdays
board meeting.
Weaver has stated that she intended to return to board meetings starting in October.
An e-mail she wrote reported on in the
local Enterprise newspaper stated that she

By Crista Dockray
Contributing Writer
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 helping
his master, Hero, woo a young, beautiful courtesan. To the tune of a live orchestra, the stage
takes on choreography and musical numbers,
some innuendos and not-so-innuendos and
humor from start to finish.
It is a silly comedy in the vein 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 Roman 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 working
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 weve seen him in and weve always 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 guyI just cant give him
enough praise.
On stage, the actors are surrounded by re-
Friday, July 17
alistic, detailed sets decorated by Linda Sanborn 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 dont 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 interactions 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 Hysterium. People should go out and see it.
Its 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 theatre
troupes website www.newtowneplayers.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 minutes prior to
the performance. Before taking a seat or during intermission, attendees can also enjoy a
small art show displaying original 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 watercolor 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 information visit www.newtowneplayers.org.

The Duel
By Linda Reno
Contributing Writer
On April 16, 1787 Henry King*, John
Booth Abell** and Robert Chesley*** petitioned Governor William Smallwood for
a pardon. It appears that Henry King and
John Booth Abell had a dispute that led to a
duel. Pistols were proposed by Henry King
and agreed to by John Booth Abell. Robert Chesley, happening to be present at the
dispute consented to be a second. They met
and Abell fired at King but missed. The
duel ended by the interference of Robert
Chesley.
The said King, Abell and Chesley apprehending a criminal prosecution may be
instituted against them have solicited the
interposition of government by petition
and the Civil War, the U.S. Navy lost twothirds as many officers to dueling as it did
to combat at sea.
Benjamin Franklin condemned the practice saying it was uselessly violent as did
George Washington who discouraged his
officers from engaging fearing the loss of
these men would threaten the war effort. It
was against the law to duel in Maryland if
you were a citizen of this state. It was also
against the law in Washington, D.C. but the
participants could slip across the state line
into Maryland, where they would not be
prosecuted (as long as they werent Maryland citizens). This is how Bladensburg became famous for dueling.
One of the most notable duels that occurred at Bladensburg hit close to home.

Off The
Rails
By Shelby Opperman
Contributing Writer
Last week was one of those
weeks where lifes train slipped
off the rails, though I think the
train was having trouble for
some time before that. I had
been having fevers and chills
for at least a month but wrote
that off to my autoimmune diseases, and a cold from the week
before. Little did I know that
my body had other surprises for
me. By Monday, the chills were
getting worse. By Tuesday
morning, I was doubled over
in pain and wishing for sweet
oblivion. Not being known for
acting too fast on matters, after
an hour or so, I finally thought
it wise to call 911 for an ambulance. I was waiting because
I kept wondering if I could
drive myself. My husband had
already left to do work, and
with all the rain days that have
messed up his schedule I didnt
want to delay his jobs anymore.
After all, I thought, I was the
same person that had one child
on a helicopter, and drove myself to the hospital with four
minute apart contractions on
my second. I have a high pain
tolerance.
Ten minutes later, my neighbor Shelley stood by me as I
was being hoisted onto a gurney on my ambulance trip to
the hospital by the wonderful
Mechanicsville Volunteer Rescue Squad. Heck with pride and
pain tolerance. Thank you to
MVRS, and sorry you had to do
that before I lost the ten pounds
this last week. You really dont
notice all the bumps in the road
until you have severe abdominal pain.
I was at St. Marys Hospital
until 7:30 that night, so they
could get lots of bags of fluid
and antibiotics into me. The
diagnosis was Diverticulitis.
Pretty common and I am sure
a lot of you suffer or have suffered with it. I finally did call
my husband and he stopped ev-
Saw Frames.
Remember to protect your eyes, product
manager Jessica Douglas said. Pick up a pair
of SAS Safety Glasses before you begin your
project. The lightweight glasses can be worn
alone or over eyeglasses.
For all the marking and measuring necessary
to prepare the molding, you will find the multipurpose Kreg Multi-Mark Marking Gauge indispensable. To fill any small gaps, Woodcraft
recommends Famowood Wood Filler, along
with Norton 5X Small Area Sanding Sponges
for smoothing filled holes.
Once the molding is cut and ready for fastening, use the Grex 18-gauge Green Buddy
Nailer, which offers precision control and both
sequential and contact trigger applications.
If you are going to back your molding with
an adhesive prior to nailing, Titebonds NoRun, No-Drip Wood Glue for molding and
trim is a great product to use, said Woodcraft
senior product manager Peter Collins, especially if you are going to use a headless pinner
to install trim.
Painting crown molding can be simple
blending in with the wall or ceiling color or
new color can be introduced to match furnishings or accent the overall dcor.
General Finishes Milk Paint and Old Fashioned Milk Paint, both water-based, are available in many colors and can be mixed to create
an extensive palette of custom colors, product manager Kent Harpool said. Both brands
also offer related products to produce special decorative effects, such as antiquing and
distressing.
Harpool recommends Redtree Bristle Brushes or Foam Brushes for applying paint. Use
Microfiber Tack Cloths to remove sanding dust
before applying paint or after
distressing.
To learn more about these and other products,
visit your local Woodcraft store, call (800) 5354482 or visit www.woodcraft.com.
DeWalts 10 Single-Bevel Miter Saw easily handles cuts necessary to install crown molding like that shown in
