Tom Clancy’s Calvert Estate for Sale
By Dick Myers
Editor
 
It could be called the house that
Jack built. Iconic hero Jack Ryan sold
a lot of books for Tom Clancy. Now
the Calvert County home in which
some of those books were written is
up for sale. Price tag: $6.2 million.
Known as Peregrine Cliff, the
537-acre estate off Camp Kauffman
Road in Huntingtown, features a
17,000-square-foot, three-level stone
custom-built contemporary home.
The house overlooks the Patuxent
River.
Clancy and his wife at the time
Wanda, had the home built in 1989.
For the final 10 years of his life
Clancy, and his second wife lived in
a penthouse condo in Baltimore at
the Ritz Carlton which is now also
for sale by his estate for the price of
$7.9 million.
Clancy died in 2013. According
to Angel Stevens of Cummings and
Company Realtors, who is handling
the sale of both the Huntingtown
and Baltimore properties, Clancy’s
estate has decided to sell the Calvert
County property as a whole, instead
of splitting it up. The property has 11
approved lots, according to Stevens.

Commissioner President Evan Slaugh-

county’s Department of Public Safety
(DPS). The commissioner president noted
that the request from the sheriff had not
been vetted by DPS and thus he said he
couldn’t vote for it. He insisted he had no
problem with the use of the monies for the
command vehicle.
Commissioner Pat Nutter said he
agreed with Slaughenhoupt. Commis-
sioner Vice President Tom Hejl was not
at the meeting, so the vote ended in a 2-2
tie, not enough to carry the motion for
approval. Slaughenhoupt said the pro-

Sunken Vessel; No Plans to Remove
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
Coast Guard officials say that a der-
elict vessel that lies partially sunken in
the Patuxent River near Solomons will
remain there for the foreseeable future.
“There’s no current plan to remove it”
since officials believe that the leaks from
the ship of oil-contaminated water have
been contained, said Petty Officer An-
drew Kendrick.
Since the Coast Guard has taken over
monitoring the vessel over the past three
weeks, its cleanup contractors have re-
moved about 1,800 gallons of “oily wa-
ter,” Kendrick said.
These contractors continue to monitor
the ship at the behest of the Coast Guard.
“We believe we’ve removed most,
if not all, of the product from the ves-
sel,” Kendrick told The County Times.
“Therefore there’s not a significant rea-
son to remove it right now.”
Recent foul weather from the outskirts
of Hurricane Florence that continues to
batter the Carolinas meant higher seas
here in Calvert that continued to stymie
efforts to contain leaks from the vessel.
Coast Guard officials said last week
that high seas necessitated a barge come
to the vessel’s resting place north of the
West Basin in the river and remove the

floating boom that surrounded the vessel.
The high-water levels began to de-
grade the boom, Coast Guard officials
explained, so it and absorbant pads used
to collect polluted water within its barri-
ers had to be removed as well.
On Sept. 14 the boom had been re-
moved but a new one had been put in its
place by Sept. 16, Kendrick said.
The week prior to the removal of the
boom, a contractor enlisted by the Coast
Guard and the Department of Natural
Resources attempted to remove the 108-
foot ship via a barge-mounted crane but
was ultimately unsuccessful.
Officials said the crew was able to
raise the derelict craft but had to put it
back in the water because its structural
integrity was so poor that it could not be
successfully removed by the barge.

ing the vessel, Ronald Phillip Ferry

Women’s Commission
Presents Annual Report
By Dick Myers
Editor
The Calvert County Commission for
Women is looking for a few good women
(and men). The commission has several
openings on its board and is looking for
people to help with its mission, accord-
ing to Chair Joan Dowell Winship, dur-
ing the commission’s annual report to
the county commissioners.
At the commissioner’s Sept. 11 meet-
ing, Winship noted the commission has
the following organizational purpose
and priorities, focusing on women and
girls:
• Promoting education and
employment
• Being a voice and advocate
• Identifying and studying issues
• Being a clearinghouse on issues
and resources
• Recognizing outstanding
achievement
As to the last priority, the commission
holds its annual Women of the World
luncheon. For, this year’s16th event, 13
women were honored by various com-
munity organizations. Guest speaker
was part-time Calvert County resident
Judy Woodruff of PBS.
Thursday, September 20, 2018
vid Kaplan Russell, from Takoma Park,
have been charged with abandoning the
vessel.
The face either six months in jail or
a $1,000 fine or both if convicted of the
charge.
guyleonard@countytimes.net
The commission also tackled topics
such as financial literacy and sextor-
tion and human trafficking in programs
throughout the year.
This past year they also initiated a new
program called ICAN, which encourages
young women to consider careers tradi-
tionally pursued by men, such as STEM,
military and law enforcement, finance
and accounting, international relations
and politics, and the trades.
Winship noted that the commission
does not provide any direct services,
with one exception – The Dress for Suc-
cess Clothes Closet, that operates out of
St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Prince
Frederick. They have an upcoming open
house on Sept 29 from noon to 3 p.m.
The program provides professional
clothing for women entering the work-
force or who just want to look nice. For
more information about the program,
contact Ariane Odon at 410-615-4221.
The Calvert County Commission for
Women is now in its 43rd year. In addi-
tion to its regular commission members
appointed by the county commissioners,
they also have associate members ap-
pointed by the commission.

no initial charge. Several LSM alumni
have agreed to offer their knowledge and
expertise to local nonprofit organizations
who may need some general advice and
assistance.
Since its founding in 2011, the Non-

“Delivering pro bono services thru this
partnership is an excellent addition to
the resources the Nonprofit Institute pro-

dinator for the Nonprofit Institute. Yaffe
is also a founding LSM board member
who currently serves on LSM’s Leader-

Leadership Southern Maryland was to
strengthen the relationship between the
business and nonprofit communities. Be-
ing part of the Nonprofit Institute, while
staying involved with Leadership South-
ern Maryland, has helped me to realize
that early goal.”
Leadership Southern Maryland is an
independent, educational leadership
development organization designed to
broaden the knowledge base of mid- to
senior-level public and private sector
executives about the critical issues, chal-
lenges and opportunities facing the tri-
county region. Over the last 10 years,
Leadership Southern Maryland has host-
ed more than 300 graduates. Each annu-

Karen Horton, a member’s wife, shared:
“17 years ago, Calvert Hospice cared for

I called you all and asked what do I
do. You said there’s nothing else to do,
you’ve done everything you’re supposed

ESTATE PLANNING FOR
YOUR ELDERLY PARENTS
As painful as it is to think that
your parents may one day be unable
to drive, climb stairs, feed themselves
or change their own clothes, the time
to face these issues is right now when
your parents are relatively healthy
and, most importantly, able to under-
stand what they are signing. You and
your siblings need to have “the talk”
with your parents while there is still
time to protect them.
Clearly, “the talk” will extend far
beyond the legal documents that your
parents need to put into place. How-
ever, no matter what else you discuss,
your parents need the protection that
the following legal documents will
give them:
Power of Attorney. This document
gives power to a person each of your
parents designates to make decisions
for them if they are unable to do so.
Your parents need to understand that
they are NOT giving up their power
to make decisions for themselves. All
they are doing is appointing someone
to make those decisions if and only if
they cannot do so.
In most cases of married couples,
the spouses appoint each other as the
power of attorney and, if the other
cannot serve, appoint a child or other
loved one. Each one of your parents
needs their own power of attorney.
The form of Power of Attorney that
I prefer covers medical care, financial
care and guardianship. On the medi-
cal side, keep in mind that the HIPPA
law gives people privacy for their
medical records, but has a flaw. If one
of your parents were to have a stroke
and be unable to verbally consent to
the other obtaining his or her medical
records, they could not get them. The
only way to correct this is to give the
power of attorney the right to get the
medical records no matter what shape
your parent is in.
Guardianship is also a critical point.
You would think that your father or
mother would have the right to sign the
paperwork to institutionalize the other
if they had to. They do not have that
power. Either parent would have to go
to court to be declared the guardian
of the other before they could sign the
paperwork. That court process takes
time and costs legal fees. Instead, the
power of attorney form should make
it clear that the person appointed as
power of attorney is also the guardian.
Some attorneys will use an Ad-
vance Directive and a separate Finan-
cial Power of Attorney. Same result,
more forms. No matter—the critical
issue is whether your elderly parent
has the capacity to sign the forms.
In order to sign a Power of At-
torney, your parents must be able to
understand what they are signing. If

Annemarie Garden: A Lovi
Celebrating the 25th ArtsFest This W
By Dick Myers
Editor
Francis and Ann Marie Koenig found their
perfect retreat in Calvert County. He was an
architect/builder/developer in Washington
DC. They built a beach house in Long Beach
in 1956 and quickly fell in love with the quiet,
rural area.
As an investment opportunity, the Koenigs
purchased 30 acres of land in Solomons . Over
time they rebuffed offers from developers and
Fran began to see his investment as “a unique
opportunity to give something back to an area
he loved,” according to the history of Annema-
rie Sculpture Garden on their website.
The Keonig family donated the property to
Calvert County in 1991 for the express purpose
of being developed as a sculpture park. It was
to be named after Ann Marie Koenig.

the biggest beneficiary of the Koenig’s chari-
table trust.
They both passed away shortly after the do-
nation, but their legacy lives on every day in
what has become one of Calvert County’s pre-
mier attractions for tourists and residents alike.
It is a busy place year-round, but after a cancel-
lation last weekend for the storm that never ar-
rived, it will be especially hopping this coming
weekend for the 25th annual ArtsFest.
ArtsFest was first held as a birthday celebra-
tion for its namesake. As a continuing annual
tribute, Artsfest celebrates the visual and per-
forming arts by bringing together the country’s
most accomplished artists for a fabulous week-
end extravaganza of the arts!  At the center of
the festival are more than 150 visual artists,
many of whom will demonstrate during the

CSM Golf Classic Raises More Than $76,000
CSM Foundation Directors Linda Sullivan, Gary Simpson, who also served as Golf Classic Chairperson, Nancy Hempstead, Jay Lilly and Kim Rosenfield pose with the CSM Hawk at CSM’s
27th Annual Golf Classic.
The community turned out in force for
the College of Southern Maryland Foun-
dation’s 27th Annual Golf Classic in Au-
gust at the Swan Point Yacht and Coun-
try Club. More than 150 golfers played
in the annual event that raised more than
$76,000 for CSM student scholarships
and CSM Athletics programs this year.
“This signature fundraising event
is one that we all look forward to each
year,” said CSM President Dr. Maureen
Murphy, as she welcomed tournament
participants. “Thanks for all you do to
raise funds for our student scholarships,
our college athletic programs and the
above-and-beyond programs, facilities
and technology that help make CSM an
outstanding college and an extraordi-
nary place to learn for all ages.”
While golfers enjoyed a day on the
links, others participated in “Sip &
Swing for an Impact,” an option during
the tournament now in its fourth year,
which included a series of golf clinics
and an elegant wine and food pairing
lunch. The day culminated in a dinner
for all and the announcement of raffle
and tournament winners.
The event was organized for the sec-
ond consecutive year by tournament
chair CSM Foundation Director Gary
Simpson, who headed up a committee
that including fellow foundation direc-
tors Linda Cox, Jay Lilly and Birdie
Shannon and a group of dedicated CSM
staff members.
“It takes a lot of hard work and coordi-
nation from many people throughout the
27 years to be able to sustain a successful
golf tournament,” Simpson said. “More
importantly the many sponsors we have

cause collectively we know this money
raised goes toward making the dreams
of students a reality and that is the CSM
Foundation’s goal. I’m pretty much born
and raised in Charles County and my
parents Senator Jim and Barbara Simp-
son have instilled in me to give back to
the community where you live and work.
That’s exactly what I’ve tried to do with
any organization I’ve been a part of.”
During the event’s afternoon ceremo-
ny, CSM soccer player Zachary Mc-
Donough addressed Golf Classic par-
ticipants about the impact scholarships
have made to him in his college career.
McDonough is a recipient of a Marrick
Homes CSM Foundation Golf Classic
Athletic Scholarship.
Murphy also particularly thanked
Marrick Homes for its long-term com-
mitment to the Golf Classic and the col-
lege. “The CSM Foundation would like
to recognize Marrick Homes for mak-
ing an impact on our students and pro-
grams — supporting the trades, nursing,
technology, the St. Charles Children’s
Learning Center, the Arts, and Athlet-
ics, and for being the Grand Tournament
Sponsor,” Murphy said. “We are grateful
for their support over the last 17 years
— they joined us as partners on the golf
classic in 2001 and they have pledged
their support at least through 2019.”
In addition to McDonough, other
CSM athletes and scholarship recipients
helped staff the tournament, also telling
their stories about the value of financial
assistance as they pursue their education.
For the ninth consecutive year at the
Golf Classic, first-place honors in the
tournament went to the team from Mc-
Donald & Eudy Printers Inc. Second
place went to the team from Community
Bank of the Chesapeake. Third place
was awarded to the team from Raley,
Watts, and O’Neill Insurance and Finan-
cial Services.
Closest to the Pin honors went to Josh
Cockerham and Rosemary Hershey.
Longest Drive was won by Alex O’Neill
and Lacey Pierce. Straightest Drive went
to Chris Simpson and Linda Aanestad.
Longest Putt was won by Mark Macdou-
gall and Rosemary Hershey.
Numerous businesses and other do-
nors assisted with the CSM Foundation’s
27th Annual Golf Classic. “As a commu-
nity we are making an impact in the lives
of these students and their families and
I personally want to thank you,” Murphy
said to the event sponsors, students and
volunteers.

Two CSM Students Earn

Scholarships for Superior Speeches
The College of Southern Maryland
(CSM) awarded two $500 scholarships
during its annual public speaking compe-
tition in May.
These two awardees, students Stepha-
nie Arnone, of Chesapeake Beach, and
Debra Gilroy, of California, presented in-
formative speeches during the 2017-18 ac-
ademic year that were deemed superior on
standard grading criteria used for all CSM
student speeches. The CSM Foundation
provided the funding for the awards.
Arnone, a communication major and
the Student Association president for 2018
– 19, hopes to one day become a news re-
porter. In her speech, Arnone spoke about
diabetes and her personal successes in
managing the disease.
“I hope to one day be able to relay in-
formation to the American people about
what is happening in the nation’s govern-
ment as well as other domestic issues,” she
said. “I also hope to use my communica-
tion degree to reach out to Type One dia-
betics and to share my story to inspire oth-
ers to overcome this unending disease.”
Gilroy, a history major, spoke about the
history of fast food — specifically, Mc-
Donald’s — in her informative speech.
Retired from the Transportation Depart-
ment of Prince George’s County Pub-
lic Schools, Gilroy works as a substitute
teacher for St. Mary’s County Public
Schools.
“When I first started at CSM last fall,
my plan was to take a few courses after
many years of being out of the school
room as a student,” Gilroy said. “I enjoy
public speaking, and the communication
classes I have taken at CSM make me feel
better prepared and more confident.”
The annual speech competition is open
to any student at CSM and entries are
taken in the spring semester. To find out

sor Sarah Merranko at sarahm@csmd.

16 Sports
Worth the Wait
By Ronald N. Guy Jr.
Contributing Writer
It was late September last year,
Maggie, and we were already back
to school. The Philadelphia Eagles
weren’t yet a quarter of the way into
their season. The Washington Capi-
tals were a few weeks out from start-
ing theirs. Like the many to-be-deter-
mined semester grades, the football
team from the nation’s one-time capi-
tal and the hockey team from its cur-
rent one were mysteries yet to unfold.
Both teams were at a crossroads.
The Eagles were figuring out what
they might become behind new fran-
chise quarterback Carson Wentz. The
Caps, meanwhile, had completed an
offseason of curious roster tweaks
that, after a couple years of pushing
hard for a Stanley Cup, appeared to
leave the team farther away from the
sport’s elusive summit.
Different sports. Different towns.
Different (to be kind) fan bases. Ev-
erything in common.
Last fall there were a scant few fans
of any professional sport capable of
understanding the plight of Eagles
and Capitals supporters. Despite the
visceral rivalry between the cities,
they had only each other - a long-suf-
fering and inseparable party of two.
Misery indeed does love company,
even if, for Caps fans, the company’s a
little unrefined.
In 2017, the resumes of these two
star-crossed franchises read like a
never-ending tale of brutal medieval
torture. The Eagles, after several
lean years, had considerable success
under head coach Dick Vermeil in
the late 70s and early 80s. A decade
later Philadelphia make four playoff
appearances in five seasons behind
defensive stalwarts Reggie White, Je-
rome Brown and Clyde Simmons.
But Philly’s torment was just be-
ginning. Andy Reid and Donovan
McNabb arrived in 1999 and togeth-
er dominated the NFC East and, for
several seasons, were the class of the
NFC Conference. It was a golden era
in Eagles football. It seemed inevi-
table that they would win…
Through all of these eras of win-
ning Eagles football, the Caps were
consistently killing it - playoff ap-
pearances in all but seven seasons
since 1982, too-many-to-count divi-
sion titles and three Presidents’ Tro-
phies. In the wild and unpredictable
world of the NHL playoffs, statistical
The Calvert County Times
chance would indicate that the Caps
would win…
The Super Bowl? The Stanley Cup?
Yeah. Neither happened. Seemed nei-
ther ever would.
For over three decades, the Eagles
and Caps practically matched play-
off collapses. For every home NFC
Championship loss by the Eagles, the
Caps could offer two unconscionable
Game 7 heartaches. But perhaps
worst of all, fans of these two ultimate
teases endured championship seasons
by arch rivals like the Cowboys, Gi-
ants and ‘Skins and the Penguins,
Rangers and Devils.
Then the karmic forces shifted.
In 2016, after the Cavaliers brought
Cleveland a championship and the
Chicago Cubs won the World Series,
I started to believe that the Caps win-
ning a Stanley Cup was possible. I
trust there were Eagles fans thinking
the same for their beloved birds. 39) won the final game of the 2018 season
And then it actually happened: the
Philadelphia Eagles won the Super
Bowl in February and four months
later the Washington Capitals won the
Stanley Cup. Now both are embark-
ing on victory lap seasons as reigning
champs. It’s still surreal.
I’ve talked to a few Eagles fans
in recent months. They seem unbur-
dened. Validated. Less, shall we
say, goon-ish. Most have mentioned
on-going Super Bowl victory tears
- uncontrollable emotion rooted in
decades of pain. Complete euphoria
would succinctly described their vic-
tory parade. I trust Eagles fans saw
a mirror image of their post-Super
Bowl selves as Caps fans celebrated
their first Stanley Cup championship
a few months later. One-time brothers
and sisters in misery are now brothers
and sisters in sweet victory.
Life owes you nothing. But for san-
ity’s sake, there has to be some sem-
blance of fairness and equity. Right?
Kindergarten taught us to share – to
take turns! Right? From this Caps
fans to ll Eagles fans: we deserved
this. It was finally our turn. It felt
like the first time because, after so, so
many years of suffering, it was. Tom
Petty once sang, “The waiting is the
hardest part.” True indeed. It is also
said that anything worth having is
worth waiting for. The Super Bowl
title for Philadelphia and Stanley Cup
championship for Washington cer-
tainty were.
