Woman Who Intentionally

Smashed Police Vehicle Identified
By Lauren Procopio
Staff Writer
Jaime Marie Stroud was charged and

arrested for first and second-degree assault on a law enforcement officer after
she repeatedly rammed her vehicle into
a deputys patrol car Monday afternoon.
According to a press release provided
by Captain Todd Ireland, of the Calvert County Sheriffs Office, on May 4,
around 3:10 p.m., units were dispatched
to 3131 Bayside Road for a report of a
vehicle intentionally running a Calvert
County Sheriffs Office marked K-9
patrol vehicle off the road and a radio
transmission by the involved officer of
shots fired.
Investigation revealed that Deputy
First Class (DFC) Richard Wilson was
driving southbound on MD Route 261
in the vicinity of Quale Drive when a
blue 2006 Toyota Tacoma, operated by
Stroud, struck the officers vehicle on the
left rear door. According to police, during the on-scene investigation numerous
witnesses were interviewed roadway
and vehicle evidence were documented
as well.
During the investigation a witness,
who was traveling southbound behind
the Toyota, told police that Stroud was
traveling southbound on the road with
one vehicle between Stroud and the
marked K-9 patrol car. According to the
witness, just after Quale Drive, Stroud
accelerated the vehicle and passed the
one civilian vehicle in a no passing
zone. According to the witness, once
Stroud had passed the civilian vehicle,
she began intentionally ramming the
marked patrol car. The witness then told
police that the Toyota continued to push
the police vehicle off the road and into
the front yard of 3131 Bayside Road.
According to the witness, Stroud accelerated her vehicle and continued to
strike the patrol car, forcing Wilsons
vehicle backward with hers. According
to the release, at one point, the Toyota
overrode the hood of the patrol car and
was making forward progress over the
hood toward Wilson. The witness also
told police she heard gunshots and then
observed Stroud exit her vehicle and run
toward Wilson. According to the release,
after a brief struggle and assistance from
another witness, Stroud was handcuffed.
According to police, another witness
said Stroud aimed her vehicle right at
the police car and put the officer in the
ditch. The witness also reported hearing tires screech followed by the sound
of gunfire. The witness said after the
gunshots stopped, Stroud exited her
truck, screaming profanities and advancing toward the officer.
According to the press release, another witness provided a statement in
regards to assisting Wilson in the arrest
of Stroud. The witness stated Stroud
failed to obey Wilsons verbal commands and resisted his attempts to control her movements while she was on
the ground. The witness retrieved the
handcuffs from Wilsons cruiser and assisted with handcuffing and controlling
Stroud, according to the press release.
Fire and EMS personnel arrived on
scene and assessed both Stroud and Wilson. Stroud was transported to Calvert
Memorial Hospital (CMH) as a precaution. According to the release, Stroud
became very violent and was attempting to kick people while at the CMH
Emergency Room.
Stroud was later restrained by CMH
security and awaited the arrival of Corporal Anthony Moschetto and DFC
Mark Robshaw to conduct a Drug Recognition Evaluation. Robshaw, who is a
Drug Recognition Expert, made observations based on his contact with Stroud;
Robshaw believed Stroud was under the
influence of a central nervous system
stimulant, dissociative anesthetic, and/
or a hallucinogen.
Wilson was transported to CMH,
where he was treated for his injuries sustained during the incident.
Physical evidence obtained and reviewed by members of the Calvert Investigative Team and Crash Reconstruction Team showed transfer marks on the
left rear door of the police vehicle, which
were caused by the front bumper and
right front tire of the Toyota, according
to the press release. According to police,
further vehicle examination revealed
blue paint on the hood of the police car
and the physical evidence indicated that
Stroud continued to accelerate and drive
over Wilsons vehicle after the initial
contact on the roadway. The press release stated as Stroud continued to force
Wilsons vehicle backward through the
spilt rail fence and down the hill, she attempted to override his vehicle to further injure the officer. According to police, roadway evidence also confirmed
that as a result of Wilsons vehicle being
deliberately struck by Strouds vehicle,
it caused the officer to lose control of
his vehicle and rotate nearly 270 degrees
counterclockwise. According to police,
Stroud steered toward Wilsons vehicle
as it was spinning and again struck the
front of the patrol car. Stroud continued
to propel the officers vehicle backward,
forcing it off the road, the press release
stated. The Crash Reconstruction Team
determined that the roadway evidence
also signified that Stroud continued to
accelerate and drive her vehicle even after the initial impact.
Based on the facts of the investigation,
roadway evidence, vehicle evidence and
numerous witness statements, it was determined Stroud intentionally targeted
Wilson and caused injuries to him as a
result.
Stroud was placed under arrest and
after she was released from CMH, she
was transported to the detention center,
where she was formally charged with
first and second-degree assault on a law
enforcement officer.

An Elderly Couple
Involved in
Serious Car Crash
By Lauren Procopio
Staff Writer
An elderly Virginia couple was involved
in a serious car accident early Friday morning on the Thomas Johnson Bridge.
According to a press release provided
by the Calvert County Sheriffs Office, on
May 1, around 1:18 a.m., members of the
Sheriffs Office Patrol Bureau and Crash
Reconstruction Team responded to the
bridge for the accident.
According to police, the couple was identified as 103-year-old Robert Lao Farwig
and 94-year-old Wanda Lou Farwig, both
of Centreville, Va. According to the press
release, Robert Farwig is in critical, but
stable condition and his wife is in stable
condition.
The couple was traveling in a 2007 Buick
Lucerne. Preliminary investigation revealed the couple was traveling southbound
in the northbound lane of the bridge. As
oncoming traffic approached, the driver
steered the vehicle to the left, which caused
the vehicle to sideswipe the northbound
barrier wall. According to police, after a
correction to the right, the vehicle crossed

the centerlines into the southbound lane.
The operator overcorrected and the vehicle
crossed the centerline again and struck the
northbound barrier wall with the front end.
According to police, the car came to a final rest perpendicular to the lanes of travel
with the front end against the barrier wall
facing south.
Robert Farwig was transported by Maryland State Police Trooper 7 to Baltimore
Shock Trauma for potentially life threatening injuries; Wanda Farwig was transported by ambulance to St. Marys Hospital for
non-life threatening injuries.
Captain Todd Ireland, of the Sheriffs
Office, told the County Times it is unclear
why the couple was in Southern Maryland;
he said the couples daughter told police
her parents do not travel very far away
from their Virginia home. Ireland also
stated Robert Farwig was known for being
sharp, despite his age.

We want this to be part of Southern
Maryland culture, Gottfried said.
Gottfried hopes visiting this website will

How Do You Keep Your

Non-Profit Organization Fresh?
By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
The Nonprofit Institute at the College of Southern Maryland held the fifth annual Nonprofit Institute Conference, featuring United Planning Organization Chief Executive Officer Dana Jones as the
keynote speaker.
Jones talk centered on keeping a nonprofit
organization relevant and ensuring it meets the
evolving needs of the community which means
getting opinions from the community about the effectiveness of the nonprofit and taking all critiques
seriously.
Some of us treat our nonprofits like were mothers, Jones said.
Another component to keeping nonprofits relevant is ensuring the best people are working for
the organization, starting with the members of
the board of directors. Nonprofits need individuals running them who are dedicated to helping the
organization evolve.
You cant get it right if you have the wrong
people, Jones said.
Sometimes, board members and employees have
been with the organization so long they have retired in place, coming in every day to do the same
things without any ambition or vision to better
serve the community.
Dont think that you married your staff, he
said.
Getting the right is essential, but keeping them
is another story. Nonprofits cant skimp on administrative costs and they have to invest in their
employees by offering competitive compensation,
CSM President Brad Gottfried Welcomes Non-Profits.

health insurance, training, and educational opportunities when possible. An organization unwilling
to invest in employees will not get the best people,
Jones said.
Nonprofit organizations are dependent on critical decisions at the right time, Jones said.
According to the Nonprofit Institute website,
the Nonprofit Institute exists for the sole purpose
of helping nonprofit organizations, serving the
community, grow stronger.

Two men were arrested and charged

with general prostitution during an undercover operation executed by the Calvert County Sheriffs Office.
According to charging documents,

RENTING OUT
AN APARTMENT?
Among the financial discussions during

the budget meetings this year, one topic arose
which the citizens really ought to understand.
The reason they should understand this topic
is because they are essentially paying twice
for the same item. While patently unfair, it
smacks of the type of parlor shell game that
ought to receive its own label.
In 2012, Maryland State officials pushed
the funding of teacher retirement pension
costs onto the counties. In doing so, the state
reduced the amount of taxes the citizens
needed to pay toward the state knowing such
funds would now go from the citizen to the
retirement system through the county. GOTCHA ! They Did Not Reduce Your Tax Bill.
True, not only did the state impose such an
expense upon the county to implement, they
continued collecting citizens taxes that were
intended for that expense. Its a windfall for
the State Treasury.
For years, Maryland State Senate President
Mike Miller contended these costs be borne
by the counties. When you give these huge
pay increases -- 5, 6, 8 percent -- the state has
nothing to do with it, (the counties are) going
to have to pick up those costs. somd.com/
news/headlines/2009/9342.shtml
Here is how the State of Maryland arranged this. Lets say Business A has customers who pay through a payroll deduction $100
for some service. Then Business A tells its
customers they will receive that service from
Business B. This Business B begins receiving $100 with a separate payroll deduction
for delivering that service, without Business
A removing the original payroll deduction.
Customers pay twice for the same service.
That is what the State of Maryland did to our
citizens.

While publicly, battle

lines appeared between
the state and counties.
The blood drawn, however, was born by the
Evan K.
citizens who received Slaughenhoupt Jr. (R)
no relief in their state
taxes while at the same
time saw their tax dollars to the county being used to make these retirement payments.
County governments either absorbed such
expenses, or further raised taxes upon the
same citizens.
The amount of which the counties contributed towards these retirement costs are
phased-in over the years. For Calvert County,
that began in FY-13 with the amount of $2.8
million continuing to increase with $4.8 million in FY-16 and further.
Calvert County did not increase its tax
rates. Available funding that could have otherwise been used for salary increases instead
went towards pensions. This had a direct affect of adding an additional burden (one could
argue a bill, an increased tax, or less service)
upon the citizens. Meanwhile, the State of
Maryland continues to spend elsewhere the
dollars sent by the citizens that were intended
for these retirement costs.
The ones doubly harmed? Teachers and
other local county staff who not only have
their taxes double dipped, the scam caused
for less funds to be available to support their
pay raises.

Defending the City
Calvert Sheriffs Deputies

and Corrections Officers Assist
at Baltimore Riots
By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
n April 27, the Baltimore City

Police Department requested assistance from allied law enforcement agencies to help restore order to the
City of Baltimore, which had been the
scene of protests and riots following the
funeral of Freddy Gray. The detail was
concluded early Sunday, May 3.
The call went out to all jurisdictions
in Maryland, in addition to neighboring
states, said Calvert Sheriff Mike Evans.
Calvert County sent deputies and corrections officers with an armored car and a
jail van to provide support to the Baltimore City SWAT team.
In response to their request the Calvert
County Sheriffs Office sent tactical assets to the city to include tactical officers,
equipment, and Correctional Officers.
Eight men in total spend six days assisting in Baltimore, Evans said.
I saw police officers showing great
restraint, Evans said, adding that rioters
threw bottles, rocks, and even trash cans
at police on the line.
Once in Baltimore, officers kept in
touch using radios, managing to coordinate officers smoothly.
It went surprisingly well as far as Im
concerned, Evans said.
According to a Calvert Sheriffs Office
press release, The Calvert County Special Operations Team (SOT) deployed directly to the North Avenue section of the
Western District an area that was struck

hardest by rioters. SOT members linked
up with Baltimore City Police SWAT
Team members and supported them in
their actions to restore calm and order
to their city. Over the next six days SOT
Members and Calvert County Detention
Center Correctional Officers remained
imbedded with Baltimore SWAT conducting various operations to maintain
order.
Monday was the most difficult night,
said Calvert Sheriffs Office Captain
Richard Thomas. Once order was restored, they remained to enforce the curfew during the week.
It takes a lot of police to enforce one
on a major metropolitan area, Thomas
said.
The men from Calvert County went
home for a few hours every evening, allowing the officers from other counties
and out of state to take available rooms
in local hotels.
The situation in Baltimore was far
different than any officers face in Calvert, Thomas said. There is a different
kind of relationship between the police
and the community, he said, and there
are educational, economic and social issues at play in Baltimore City that we
just dont have, at that size and scale, to
deal with here.
All expenses, including overtime, will
be reimbursed to Calvert County from
the City of Baltimore, Thomas said.

I believe that the girls are learning compassion, theyre learning that they have
a responsibility in the world not only to
keep themselves clean and healthy but also
to keep the world clean and healthy, Farnsley said.
A small action can serve a large purpose,
and Brownie Troop 1131 encourages you to
get involved in the world around you, pass
good deeds forward and make a change.
For more information about Brownie
Troop 1131, contact Lynn Farnsley at lynnfarnsley@icloud.com.
nected with the communityThe last one

for Brownies is 'A World of Girls.' They
have different ones for each level. Next year
well work on 'A World of Girls,' and that's
where they will learn about different countries and what girls do around the world.
Theyll be able to connect either through
pen pals or swaps with other girls in Girl
Scout Troops with Girl Scout Guides
around the world. They'll learn that everyones the same, no matter where they live,
but everyone is also different, and thats
okay, Farnsley said.
While the community benefits from
these activities, those most rewarded are
the Brownie Scouts themselves, as they
learn to care for themselves and to appreciate life in all of its forms.
No matter who you are you matter. Whatever your background or your age, you affect the
world around you. Brownie Troop 1131 of Prince
Frederick is working hard to make sure their effect is a good one. Sunday, May 3, Girl Scout
leader Lynn Farnsley led a group of 13 Brownies to Flag Ponds Nature Park in Lusby to clean
up the beach. This activity was the final step of
a Brownie Journey called Wonders of Water.
From 2 to 4 p.m., the girls found and disposed of
trash along the beach, using a buddy system to
act quickly and safely.
Some of the girls have been together several years, but our troop has just been together
since June of last year. Thats when I became a
Brownie leaderWe have been working, this
year, on Brownie Journeys. Its a Journey so that
the girls can connect to a problem or an idea such
as teamwork. This Journey that were doing now
is called Wonders of Water, so theyre learning
about the water in the world. There are certain
steps that the girls are required to master before
they earn their badge for it. Anytime the girls
do a badge or a Journey, they have to learn the
skill and be able to recreate it or tell you about
it. There are three parts of this Journey. The first
part was love, they had to tell us what they love
about water, what water does for them and their
favorite [water] activity. Then we talked about
saving water and how to be an advocate, which
is what we talked about at our last meeting. We
learned about nine different ladies around the

world that advocate for safe water for villages or
areas that dont have fresh water. They also advocate to clean up the oceans and preserve fresh
water, because the fresh water in the world is
only like, three percent of the total water in the
world. Weve played games and done activities
talking about how were going to save water, and
the girls made a water promise as to what theyre
going to do personally, like turn the water off
when theyre brushing their teeth, take showers
instead of baths, take shorter showers. Then we
have to share it, and thats their last step, what
were doing today. Were connecting with the
community to make a difference and to show
that even though youre only seven or eight years
old, you can still make a difference. Theyre advocating to share the word and to spread the message. This is something you can do, it might be a
very small part, picking up trash from one beach
on the bay, but because the bay connects to the
ocean, the oceans are all connected, were helping the world as a whole, Farnsley said.
Wonders of Water is the troops most recent
Journey, but not the first or the last Journey to
come. Farnsley is excited to continue guiding her
Brownie troop on quests to know themselves and
the world around them.
We have worked on a Journey called 'Brownie Quest. The first step of that quest was to discover. They discovered what was special about
them as individuals and what was special about
them as a group. The next step was to connect,
so they connected with each other and they con

Huntingtown Elementary Destination

Imagination Team Heading to Global Competition
By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
This team is all of my best friends,
said Huntingtown Elementary fifth grader
Grace Sawyer of the Destination Imagination team she is involved in, which will
soon travel to the Destination Imagination
Global Competition in Tennessee.
This is the second time the team, now
in their sophomore year, has made it to the
global competition. It is comprised of seven Huntingtown Elementary fifth graders Sawyer, Aiden McPhillips, Violet
Campbell, Darrah Clime, Sarah Dudley,
Rachel Dorn and Carrie Banholzer.
Usually first and second year teams
dont go to global, McPhillips said.
There are a number of team challenge
categories the girls could choose from.
Last year, they took on the technical challenge. This year, they decided to participate in the fine arts challenge Feary
Tales.
The Huntingtown Elementary team
decided to make up a phobia lightophobia. Their main character is afraid of
light, and has to overcome her fear by defeating a witch comprised of sunlight.
Dudley said the theme of the play was
twofold overcoming fear and learning
not to judge by appearance. The character
wearing all black turns out to be the heroine and the light witch is the villain.
Teams had to create a fairy tale that featured a character with a phobia and two
pieces of artwork. The girls chose to crate
folk art style pieces to compliment the
fairy tale aspect. The girls also had to create an illusion to compliment the story.
They created one illusion using chemistry
and another using overhead projector.

Sawyer said the team works so well together and did so well in the competition
because they all have strengths and weaknesses that compliment each other some
of them are artistic and others have a flair
for technical aspects.
With two years under their belts, the
girls are learning how to roll with the
punches and fix things on the fly, sometimes in the middle of their performance.
Of course, they still hope for the best.
Usually, if something breaks, you want
it to beak the day before, McPhillips said.
Team advisors Debbie Clime and Lisa
Dorn are proud of the girls creativity and
ambition in their presentation.
They are learning to take risks, Clime
said.
Going to the global competition is not
free. The teams goal is to raise $10,000 by
May 20. They have held fundraisers at the
Sweet Frog and Salsaritss in Prince Frederick, baked cupcakes for a school based
fundraiser and started a page on GoFundMe, a fundraising website.

Sail Solomons
Under New Management
By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
Jeff Carlsen has been sailing all his life, starting when he was 4-years-old sailing on Lake
Michigan and continuing when he moved to
Southern Maryland in 1996. He spent two years
living aboard with his family. Two years ago,
Carlsen began teaching at Sail Solomons and,
as of this year, has transitioned to running Sail
Solomons and making a living doing what he
loves.
Running Sail Solomons is sailing and entrepreneurship all in one, Carlsen said.
Former owners Andy and Lisa Batchelor
started Sail Solomons in 2007 and remain actively involved in the school and they have been
helpful in making the transition to a new owner
smooth, Carlsen said.
Sail Solomons has a course for everyone,
Carlsen said. There is an Introduction to Sailing class, two different two-day learn to sail
classes, coastal navigation and piloting classes
and more. Classes range from two-hours to a
week or more. During the summer, Sail Solomons holds classes right in Solomons. In the
winter, Sail Solomons heads south with weeklong Caribbean cruises. An individual can go
from their first time stepping a boat to earning
their American Sailing Association and Coast
Guard certifications. Sail Solomons specializes
in adult classes.
All instructors are certified with years of experience sailing, Carlsen said. Classes are designed
to give students personalized attention working
on the skills they are most interested in.
Pretty much, if its a sailboat, we do it,
Carlsen said.
Sail Solomons has fleet of eight boats, allowing students to get experience on boats of
all sizes. Some boats are available to rent, giving new skippers an opportunity to try living
aboard.
If an individual already has a boat, or is in the
market for one, instructors will go out and help
them sail their boat back and give them instruction on the particulars for their own boat.
For more information, visit sailsi.com, email
info@sailsi.com, or call 410-326-4917. Sail Solomons is located at 245 C Street in Solomons.

A Play for Mom
MOMologues: The Original

Comedy About Motherhood
By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
Right in time for Mothers Day, New
Direction Community Theater Presents
MOMologues: The Original Comedy
About Motherhood by Lisa Rafferty,
Stefanie Cloutier and Sheila Eppolito.
The play covers all stages of motherhood, from pregnancy to labor, the first
days with a new infant,
keeping up with toddlers, and seeing a

child off to school for the first time.
The theater had another play planned,
but not enough men auditioned, according to MOMologues director Keith
Mervine. Instead of scrapping the play,
the troupe decided to work with what
they had a number of female actors
and a play celebrating moms.
The play is relatable for mothers and
fathers, said Stage Manger and Producer
DiDi Olney.
Tickets are $12 for regular admission and $10 for seniors. MOMologues will run May 8, 9, 15
and 16 at 7 p.m. and May 10 and
17 at 2 p.m. The play will be at the
Long Beach Community Center.

From my Backyard to our Bay

A St. Marys County Residents Guide to Improving Our Environment and Drinking Water
From My Backyard
to Our Bay was first
developed by the Baltimore
County Soil Conservation
District. From there, the
booklet was given to each
of the Soil Conservation
Districts in the Chesapeake
Bay watershed area for
customization. If the 17.5
million residents who live in
the watershed area of the
Chesapeake Bay read this
booklet, and took to heart
its suggestions and best
practices, the Chesapeake
Bay would see a dramatic
increase in health. Obtain
a FREE copy of the
booklet by going to the St.
Marys River Watershed
Association, smrwa.org and
downloading it. The booklet
is available at Wentworth
Nursery in Charlotte Hall;
Chicken Scratch in Park
Hall; The Greenery in
Hollywood; Good Earth
Natural Food; and the St.
Marys Soil Conservation
District in Leonardtown.
Join your local watershed
association and make a
difference for Our Bay!

Forest Stewardship
Forest 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 sedimentation, remove nutrients, and regulate
stream flow during storms.
Marylands 2.5 million acres of forest,
most of it privately owned, cover approximately 42% of its land area. St.
Marys Countys land area is about 50%
forested, and has more than 400 miles
of shoreline. Wooded buffers along
these shorelines are critical to improving Bay health. Acre for acre, forested
lands produced the least amount of runoff 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 sustainable 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

County residents with questions about

woodland stewardship and management, as well as timber harvesting,
