Holy Face Catholic Church of Great Mills put on the 18th
annual Southern Maryland Spring Festival at the St. Marys
County Fairgrounds last weekend. Families from all over the
region converged on the fairgrounds for the annual carnival, en-
joying rides, games, midway food, crafts and exhibits.
The festival featured four days of events and carnival rides
and games from Sherwood Amusements. In addition, the fes-
tival featured the Up The Attic Stairs Yard Sale and a silent
auction.
A big hit for the weekend was Jerry Brown, who strolled the
grounds with his pet monkey Django on this shoulder. Django
loves quarters, Brown said, and one of his favorite tricks is tak-
ing a coin right from the open, outstretched hands of children.
The event is an annual fundraiser for the Holy Face Church.
Other organizations also ben-
efting, including CareNet Teen
Pregnancy Center, Patuxent
Habitat for Humanity and St.
Marys Hospice.

COMING SOON! We were born a couple of weeks ago on April
18th! Our mom was trapped behind a store in St. Marys County and
was going to go to the vet to be spayed, de-wormed, rabies vaccinat-
ed, micro chipped and tested for diseases. She would have then been
released back to where Feral Cat Rescue found her and an employee
would have continued to feed her daily and she would have continued
to live in the woods behind the store. That is the how Feral Cat Rescue
operates. They always make sure cats are taken care of, either adopted
out if they are social, or fed by someone if they are not socialized; al-
ways getting the proper vetting done either way. But WOW, we were born that very night that our mom
was trapped. Were we lucky! There are six of us. Our colors are black, black and white and four of us are
tabbies. Our mom is even friendly and lets our foster mom pet her. We will be very friendly because we
have been loved and held lots since we were born. Feral Cat Rescue charges $125 for one kitten and $200 for two kittens. We would love to go in pairs
so we can have someone to play with while you are at work. Please fll out an application at www.feralcatrescuemd.org and send it to moonandhunt@
hotmail.com. Or call our foster mom at 301-481-0171. Yours truly, The Babies! Feral Cat Rescue is always looking for foster homes and volunteers and
donations to help them help us! They are also looking for adequate outside accommodations for unsocialized cats that will be fed as well as sheltered;
i.e. barns. They can also set up a condo for the cats if needed. Thank you!

In an effort to equip their classrooms
with new technology without adding stress
to an already overstressed budget, Mechan-
icsville Elementary School will be holding
their frst ever Wild Mustangs 5K Fun Run
fundraiser at the Northern Senior Center on
Saturday.
Vickie Smith, the treasurer of the Me-
chanicsville Elementary Parent Student
Teacher Organization (PTSO), helped orga-
nize the fun run.
This year, we really wanted to put our-
selves out there, Smith said.
The money raised will be used to pay for
technology in the classrooms, like Promethe-
an Interactive White Boards, computers and
projectors, Smith said.
As an added bonus, the school will be
participating in the Promethean Planet Chal-
lenge, where the Promethean company will
match the money raised for the smart boards
dollar for dollar. Jeff DiRenzo, the principal at
Mechanicsville Elementary School, said this
means for each Promethean Board the school
can buy, another one will be donated by the
company.
Its really a win-win for everyone,
DiRenzo said.
Smith said the school community has
been trying to come up with a new way to
raise money. Fundraisers that have been done
in the past include frozen pizza sales and a
yard sale.
The ides for the fun run fundraiser came
from a pre-existing 5K fun run, which Smith
said they decided to move, expand and make
open to the community.
Hopefully, itll get bigger and bigger,
DiRenzo said.
The price of admission is $10 for children
to the one-eighth of a mile kids run and $20
for adults to participate in the 5K Fun Run.
For St. Marys County Public Schools em-
ployees, registration is $15.
The adult registration includes a tee
shirt and a goody bag. Kids will also receive
a goody bag. There will also be raffes and
prizes awarded.
The fun run will be held at the Northern
Senior Center, located at 29655 Charlotte Hall
Road in Charlotte Hall at 9 a.m.
Registration opens at 8:30 a.m. For more
information, call Smith at 301-904-7322.

Next up at Three Notch Theatre this
season is A Flea in Her Ear, directed
by Valarie Green. This play has it all
mistaken identities, suspected affairs, a
nephew with a speech impediment and the
Frisky Puss hotel.
When Raymonde Chandebise, played
by Jessica Cantrell, suspects her husband
may be cheating on her, she recruits her
old friend Lucienne Homenides De Histan-
gua, played by Dawna Diaz, to fnd proof
of her husbands infdelity.
Together, they hatch a plan that al-
ways works in the theatre forge a note
from a woman who doesnt exist asking
the man in question to meet her for a ren-
dezvous. Raymonde will be the woman
waiting, and if her husband shows up for
the rendezvous, it will be proof that he is
unfaithful to her.
Things go awry when the husband
passes the missive to his dashing friend
Roamin Tournel, played by Stephen
Rumpf, who is more than willing to meet
the woman who wrote the letter.
Credit has to be given where credit
is due. Ming Diaz, who plays both Victor
Emanuel Chandebise, the aristocratic re-
cipient of his wifes incriminating invita-
tion, and Poche, the drunken bellboy at the
Frisky Puss, carries his roles with style.
Faces old and new take the stage in
the farce that is A Flea in Her Ear. And,
in true Three Notch Theatre style, some
of the actors double up on both acting and
production roles.
Amie Gilligan plays the long-suffer-
ing maid at the Frisky Puss hotel, as well
as being the sound designer, while Diaz
has credit as both a light designer and a
properties manager.
Performances will be Thursdays
through Sundays, through May 15. Thurs-
day, Friday and Saturday performances
start at 8 p.m.; Sunday shows begin at 3:30
p.m. Tickets are $15 for adults and $12 for
students, senior citizens and the military.
Thursday shows are $10 general admis-
sion. Light refreshments and beverages are
also available for purchase at the theatre.
Note: This show is for mature audiences
only.
Reservations are recommended. To
make reservations, call 301-737-5447 or

Confusion Abounds in A Flea in Her Ear
By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
A rock group with roots in St. Marys County is returning for a one-night
engagement at Hulas Bungalow.
Odins Court, comprised of Matt Brookins and John Abella, both St.
Marys County natives, and Craig Jackson and Rick Pierpont.
Brookins said the group started out as a cover band, but moved into per-
forming original works over time.
I guess we got bored playing other peoples music, Brookins said.
He said the sound the group has cultivated is a mix is rock and metal.
Their second album with ProgRock Records, Human Life in Motion, was
released Tuesday. Their frst CD was Deathanity. Brookins said the title of
Deathanity is a mix of the words death and humanity.
Abella described Odins Court as an aggressive rock band, and he said
that is a genre that has a small following but is not as popular as other music
types.
ProgRock is based out of
California, and Brookins said they
have been very supportive of the
band and their albums, even facili-
tating overseas distribution.
Brookins said Odins Court
doesnt often play in Southern
Maryland. Places they have played
include Georgia, Massachusetts,
Virginia and several other East
Cost states.
The gig at Hulas will be their
frst in St. Marys County in three
years, Brookins said.
Odins Court will take the
stage at Hulas Bungalow at 9:30
p.m. Saturday.

Wow, what a weekend! I laughed as I
told people that I was going to bring a cot to
our Parish Hall and stay there from Thursday
through Sunday. And I wasnt even one of the
intrepid women who had to do all the food
shopping for the two big events; a marriage
blessing on Saturday and a Solemn Evensong
/ Taking of Leave service and reception for our
Priest on Sunday. Even though I joked about
the cot, there really is no place I would have
rather been than in the kitchen at our Parish
Hall. Our butcher-block table could tell some
stories on us. The two events brought out such
different emotions as well. The blessing has
pulled the two beautiful creative lives together
of my dear friends to weave an even more tal-
ented union. I am excited for their future. The
Taking of Leave of our Priest and his wife, both
of them also close to my heart, has left me with
a sense of loss, but also with a sense of a new
adventure in fnding a perfect match for our
congregation. They will also be off on a new
adventure in a new parish. But they are leav-
ing us with their gift of a stabilizing infuence,
which will guide us through this new time of
search and discernment.
We all have those wonderful days that
seem to be two days in one. This past week-
end has been more like four days in one, but
they were magnifcently exhausting days. And
Strawberry Festival is only three weeks away,
with another string of crazy days and nights
that somehow lead to a beautiful, well-loved
event. How is it that sometimes I feel busier
now in this later, empty nest phase of my life
than I did when my sons were small. I guess. I
have found that this is the way my life is sup-
posed to be. I have to accept that my mind
wants to wake up at 3 to 4 a.m. even if my body
is begging to stay in bed until 8 a.m. This is just
the way my internal clock runs.
Im still wondering where the frst half of
the year went. Whoa! I feel like I just changed
all the calendars to April, and it is already May.
And Im really not ready for June. You know I
have been excited about turning ffty, but that
weird mortality thing creeped up on me last
week. I thought, How many good years do I
have left? Twenty, thirty, forty? Who knows,
maybe less. I know this our church buildings
275th year of existence, but I really want to
make it to our 300th celebration in 2036. Thats
kind of my goal. So I asked myself that age-old
question, So, what are you going to do now
with the rest of your life? Or at least until 2036.
I really like the poet Mary Olivers poem about
just this question. This is the last half of her
thoughtful poem called The Summer Day.
I dont know exactly what a prayer is.
I do know how to pay attention,
how to fall down
into the grass, how to kneel down in the grass,
how to be idle and blessed,
how to stroll through the felds,
which is what I have been doing all day.
Tell me, what else should I have done?
Doesnt everything die at last, and too soon?
Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?
What is a beautiful life? A beautiful life
to me is hearing my sons say I love you at the
end of our phone conversations, coming home
to a delicious, creative dinner that my husband
has prepared, seeing our grandchildren search
for Easter eggs, watching my husbands soft-
ball games on a glorious, dusky evening, being
a part of our church and community, waiting
on thirty years of customers who have also be-
come my friends, and of course sharing love
and laughter around that infamous butcher-
block table in the Parish Hall kitchen. Yes, I
know I renamed the table something else ac-
cidentally over the weekend but I cant write
that, youll have to use your imagination. This
is my beautiful life.
To each new days adventure,
Shelby

What is a Beautiful Life?
Over 250,000 Southern Marylanders cant be wrong!
By Linda Reno
Contributing Writer
James Watson Cooke was born October
24, 1779 near Chaptico. When he was about
fve years old, his parents Robert Fielding
Cooke and Susanna Watson, moved to Cul-
peper County, Virginia where they lived until
about 1790 when they moved to Greenville
County, South Carolina. They also lived in North Carolina for
a short time before fnally moving to White County, Tennessee
where they permanently settled.
While in South Carolina, James married Mary Riddle and
in 1805 they had a daughter named Lucinda Cooke. About 1822
Lucinda married Calaway Daniel in Tennessee. In 1846, Lucin-
das last child was born--a boy they named was Jasper Newton
Jack Daniel. Lucinda died in 1848.
Calaway Daniel remarried in 1851 and Jack didnt get
along with his new stepmother, so he went to
live with an uncle. At a very young age he went
to work in a store owned by Dan Call who was
also a local minister. Jack didnt particularly
care for working in the store, but was very in-
terested in the still house owned by Rev. Call
who taught him how to make whiskey. In 1863,
Rev. Call decided there was a confict between his religious
calling and making whiskey so he sold his business to Jack.
Jack bought property in Lynchburg, Tennessee and set up
his distillery. His was the frst distillery to be registered with
the U.S. government.
Years passed and Jacks business grew but would not be-
come world famous until 1904 when he entered his whiskey in a
competition at the St. Louis Worlds Fair where he won the gold
medal for the best whiskey in the world.
In 1911, Jack arrived early at the distillery and tried to get
into the safe. The problem was he could never remember the
combination. Out of anger and frustration, he kicked the safe
and injured one of his toes. Unfortunately, the toe became in-
fected and blood poisoning followed-- Jack died on October 10,
1911. Supposedly his last words were one last drink, please.
This incident was the subject of a marketing poster
used on the London Underground in January 2006, with the
line Moral: Never go to work
early.
The folks at the distillery
say that all Jack really needed to
do to cure his infection was to
dip his toe into his own whiskey!
Jack left his distillery to his
favorite nephew, Lem Motlow
who had worked with him for
many years. The company was
sold in 1956, but the Motlow
family still owns a majority interest and they continue to oper-
ate and manage the company.
Ironically, Lynchburg is in Moore County and while its
legal to make the whiskey there, it is illegal to purchase it in that
county. State law provided one exception: a distillery may sell
one commemorative product so Jack Daniels now sells Gen-
tleman Jack and Jack Daniels Single Barrel at the distillerys
White Rabbit Bottle Shop.
Theres one more exception. At Miss Mary BoBos Board-
ing House in Lynchburg they serve a dish containing the local
hometown product at every meal.

The 26th Annual St. Marys Rod and Clas-
sic Clubs Spring Fling Car Show took over
Leonardtown Square on Sunday afternoon.
The annual car show has a long history
in St. Marys County, as does St. Marys Rod
and Classic. Burt Collier, one of the six origi-
nal members of the rod and classic group, said
the show was originally held in the back park-
ing lot at Leonardtown High School. When
St. Marys County Public Schools needed the
space to expand the school and the tech center,
the car show needed to fnd a new home.
At that point, Leonardtown offered the
car show a home to help promote growth in
downtown Leonardtown.
Weve been here ever since, Collier
said.
He said the small town atmosphere of
Leonardtown is a draw for the people and
tends to be popular.
The Rod and Classic group has close to 40
members, Collier said, and many of them are
also members of the Southern Maryland Cor-
vette Club. He said approximately two-thirds
of the cars at the show belong to members of
the corvette club.
Butch and Brenda Bastain have been
coming to the car show for the past four or fve
years and have every intention
to come to next springs event.
Its just a fun event, Bren-
da Bastain said.
She said one of the best
parts of the car show is getting
to walk around Leonardtown
and talk to people they know.
Dennis Lyons, a seven-year
veteran of the car show and a
member of the Southern Mary-
land Corvette Club, said Leonar-
dtown is a nice place to do it.
He said the venue on the square
offers a space for a large variety of cars, and
there is good music at the show.
To keep things fresh and to prevent the
same bunch of cars being shown year after
year, Collier said there is a rotation of the
members cars, as well as cars from non-mem-
bers being shown.
As for the club, Collier said
individuals dont have to own a
car to be a member of the club.
Any car enthusiast is welcome
to join the Rod and Classic
group.

Ken Lamb, the proprietor
of The Tackle Box, said that the
number of trophy rockfsh brought
to his store over the weekend was
amazing. He took over 30 pictures
of big fsh and issued citations for
the Maryland Fishing Challenge for
many of them. The croaker of the
month for April turned out to be a
16 beauty for Frank Redding.
On May 2, Andrae Briscoe showed
up with a 19 croaker that he caught at St Georges Island on
Sunday. This one will be hard to beat.
There were good days and bad days over the weekend with
windy conditions on Saturday and good fshing conditions on
Friday and Sunday. Here are two rules to live by when it comes
to fshing on the Bay:
1. Every day is different.
2. Cancel a fshing trip based on the weather if you have
to, but never cancel a trip based on a
forecast.
We always try to organize our fsh-
ing trips to take everything into account,
but wind and tidal currents affect fshing
more than any other factors. Fish will
react to moving currents, and your boat,
lures and lines will react to different wind
conditions. If youre trolling in rough con-
ditions, the lures will run differently than
they do in calm conditions. Most trolling
lures are not designed for up and down
motion so much as they are for horizontal
wiggles. If youre drift fshing for bottom
feeders like hard head, a strong wind will
cause your drift to be too fast, denying the
fsh an opportunity to fnd your hook. Similar conditions will
also affect jigging. Winds and currents can also affect shore
anglers. Wind is bad, current is good.
The other condition that we always try to predict before
fshing is the weather. Wind being part of the weather makes it
one of the primary considerations, but storms are what we fear
most. Like most anglers, I pour over weather data before every
trip. However, I almost never
cancel a planned fshing trip on
my boat until I get to the dock.
Many times, conditions will
be different at the dock than
I have anticipated by study-
ing weather data on my com-
puter at home. Anticipation
and planning are good things,
to be sure, but many times the
weather conditions are not spe-
cifc to the exact location of
your fshing.
It never pays to take chances on the water. Look over the
weather reports and consider the data before the trip. For wind
forecasts, I like to check NOAAs Chesapeake Bay Operational
Forecast System Surface Wind Forecast Guidance at http://
tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/ofs/cbofs/wind_2_forecast.shtml.
An abundance of tide and current data can also be found at the
parent tides and currents website. Studying these tables before
your trip can really help.
A lot of big stripers were caught last weekend. Friday was
beautifully calm on the Bay. Saturday was rough as a cob in the
morning. Rain was forecast on Sunday, and I would be willing
to bet that several trips were canceled based on that forecast.
Those who didnt cancel had a great day for fshing. The winds
were calm and the rains were short-lived sprinkles.
Never stop planning for your trips. Be safe and dont take
unnecessary chances. Assess real conditions in real time and
decide accordingly. Most importantly, catch a big fsh!

Bay and its tributaries for over 50 years; he fshes weekly from
his small boat during the season, and spends his free time sup-
porting local conservation organizations.

product or service?
Check. Flawless
business model?
Check. Financing
secured? Check.
Even with those re-
quirements satisfed,
any business with
an eye toward sustained success must also
have a memorable name and an attractive
logo prior to launch. In the industry of pro-
fessional sports, this business axiom carries
heightened importance. Seeking a cultural
link with their clientele, teams are frequently
named after an indelible aspect of their host
cites - think Capitals, Orioles, Ravens or Blue
Crabs - and are equipped with an irresistible
logo to support a marketing and merchandis-
ing blitz. While winning on the feld is the
biggest contributor to a sports franchises
fnancial health, an unmistakable name and
iconic logo sure dont hurt. When sports
fans ponder New York, Pittsburgh or Green
Bay, the names and logos for the Yankees,
Steelers and Packers, respectively, food
our consciousness. Considering the NFLs
shield and the NBAs classic silhouette of
Jerry West, even sports leagues themselves
recognize the importance of a defning im-
age. And if this name/logo concept was ap-
plied at the event level, say the NFL Draft,
one name and image should come to mind:
Mel Kiper and his fabulous locks.
Kiper, a follically-blessed native of Bal-
timore, has been ESPNs draft expert for
over two decades. He flled this role before
we even knew we needed a draft expert.
Now, with the growth of the NFL into a hol-
iday-sized portion of Americas pop culture
pie and of this peculiar hope- and conjecture-
based event, his opinion on prospective NFL
draft picks is must-have gospel. I need his
pre- and post-draft take like a weekly pizza
fx, a cold frosty adult beverage after a long
week and a few feeting moments with noth-
ing more than delta blues in my ear. And
Kiper delivers every year.
Year after year, round after round, play-
er after player, Kipers detailed knowledge
of prospects is both an impressive feat and a
curious oddity. What must this man have to
do to prepare each year? There are over 250
draftees annually and because of the unpre-
dictable nature of selections, Kipers mental
database of potential picks must be at least
100 more that that. Anyone can break down
the selections early in the draft. What sets
Kiper apart is the apparent inability to stump
the guy. He casually spouts off the charac-
ter blips, bench press numbers and 40-yard
dash times of obscure players chosen late in
the draft. Weve seen chess challenges pit-
ting man vs. computer. At next years draft,
Id like to see Mel vs. machinemy moneys
on The Hair himself. Oh sure, there are
several capable young challengers to the
draft wonk thrown, but Mels the trendsetter.
(Risking my Barbara Walters if you were a
tree moment) If Kiper was beverage, hed
be Coke Classic: an often imitated but never
duplicated original.
We live in an age now of unprecedented
simulation and relentless, and often un-want-
ed, multi-tasking. We quite literally have a
world of information at our fngertips and are
reachable by work, friends and family 24/7.
There is undeniable good in that; I know
more about the federal budget, international
affairs, the economy, the Kardashians and
something called a Snookie than I ever cared
to. The consequence is that its increasingly
hard to concentrate. Its easy to know a little
bit about a lot of stuff nowand diffcult to
focus on, and be really good at, a select few
things.
Professional success in the informa-
tion age will be, in part, predicated on ones
ability to receive, interpret and, most impor-
tantly, flter information. Diversifcation is
essential to expand the mind, but lacking
focus and spreading oneself across a myriad
of professional endeavors ensures medioc-
rity. The sage suggestion is to think openly
and broadly, but execute narrowly and pre-
cisely. Fortunately for NFL Draft fans, Mel
Kiper spiked his Kool-Aid with a heavy dose
of multi-taskings antidote. Kiper chose
a singular path, remained focused and, not
surprisingly, consistently delivers an exem-
plary product. After 20 plus years of com-
mitment to his trade, Kiper is simply, and
quite notably, the NFLs draft vanguard. In
a world where more increasingly yields less,
Kiper remains fabulously and uncommonly
specialized.
