BOCC Declares Adult Day Care Week

A water contact advisory has been posted at Lake Lariat located at Chesa-peake Ranch Estates in Lusby due to a bloom of Blue-Green Algae. This algae, called Microcystis aeruginosa, appears as a blue-green substance floating on the surface. These organisms naturally oc-cur in the water and with high heat and little rain, it causes them to increase in population. It usually takes place in wa-ters that are slow moving and nutrient rich.

There is a history of this occurrence in Lake Lariat, across Maryland, and throughout the United States. It is not the result of contamination or pollution and it is a natural phenomenon.

The water contact advisory is in place to warn potential swimmers of the nega-tive health effects caused by contact with a toxin produced by the Microcys-tis organism in the water. According to the Calvert County Health Department, direct contact can result in minor side effects such as skin and eye irritation or allergic reactions and blistering of the lips. With ingestion and inhalation, reac-tions such as nausea, fever, abdominal

cramps, vomiting, diarrhea, sore throat or allergy-like symptoms can occur. These are not supposed to last more than 48 hours. Please watch children and pets because they can have more severe reac-tions than adults.

The levels do go up and down through-out the days of the bloom, so the beach is not closed entirely. If you choose to swim, please avoid the areas where the bloom is visible.

If you do become in contact with the water where the bloom is visible, wash off with fresh-water. If any illnesses oc-cur, contact the Health Department at 410-535-3922 or 301-855-1557.

The postings will be taken down as soon as the weather cools and rain falls causing the population of the organ-isms to lower naturally. No set date can be determined. Besides the advisory on the lake, this occurrence will not affect any residents living in the Chesapeake Ranch Estates.

The Calvert Board of County Commission-ers (BOCC) and Sheriff Mike Evans met to dis-cuss Calvert County at the annual Chamber of Commerce State of the County Breakfast.

The BOCC and Ev-ans took questions from the Chamber of Com-merce and audience. One question was about what efforts are be-ing made to create “an expanding and vigor-ous economic environ-ment” within Calvert.

BOCC President Steve Weems said they are moving forward with plans to decrease the number of Transferred Development Rights (TDRs) needed to build in town centers in an ef-fort to encourage further growth.

Additionally, there are plans to en-hance the armory square property in Prince Frederick, said BOCC member Evan Slaughenhoupt, and to make park-ing regulations more user friendly for businesses. Though plans are in place and moving forward, nothing is going to happen fast.

“Every government moves much, much

slower than anyone wants,” Slaughenhoupt said.

When asked how the BOCC is working to stimulate economic development, the com-missioners talked about upcoming text amend-ments to allow for more variances, making it easier for businesses looking to locate in the county. The BOCC will work with the gover-nor’s office in coming months to make chang-es in Annapolis regard-ing unfunded mandates, which tie up funds the county could focus elsewhere.

Evans fielded a couple of questions too. When

asked about ways the sheriff’s office gets pertinent information to business own-ers, he said the sheriff’s office maintains Facebook and Twitter feeds, and anyone in the area can sign up to Nixle alerts, which come right into an individual’s cell phone.

“If we can do something better, we’re all ears,” Evans said.

Press Release

Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division personnel are making final prepara-tions for a two-week U.S. Navy's emerging au-tonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) demon-stration to be held at Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Maryland, Sept. 12-25, 2015.

The event, PAX River 2015, is sponsored by the Office of Naval Research (ONR) and will bring together 150 participants, 26 technology teams and unmanned systems to jointly explore AUV technologies in common, at-sea environ-ments along Maryland's shoreline.

"Through the display of various emerging AUV-related technologies, the objective of the demonstration is to increase effectiveness in mine-hunting exercises, ordnance surveys, maritime archeology and infrastructure inspec-tion, such as bridges, shoreline, or sea walls," said Robert Gibson, PAX River 2015 project manager.

Since 1997, ONR has hosted eight AUV Fests and Science and Technology Demonstrations (S&T Demos) in Panama City, Florida. This is the first UAV demonstration hosted by ONR to be held at PAX River.

According to Gibson, military and com-mercial sectors are drastically increasing in-vestments in unmanned systems, autonomy, automation, and systems-of-system solutions. Those approaches require earlier and more fre-quent interactions between the user and devel-oper communities and this event will facilitate interactions by actually focusing on the system

in their intended environments."During the two-week demonstration, opera-

tors, developers, and stakeholders will have the opportunity to demonstrate capabilities, collect data and gain knowledge for operational gains," he said. "This event will bring the unmanned users and developers together in intended envi-ronments to learn from each other and further our AUV capabilities."

An additional benefit expected from this event is the completion of a Technology Transi-tion Agreement that will allow the government, academia, and industry that will allow and en-able the data collection and sharing with the in-tent to further develop future naval capabilities.

"AUV systems from ONR's mine counter-measure (MCM) Future Naval Capability Pro-gram will demonstrate exit criteria from their technology transition agreements," said Gib-son. "The U.S. and international partners will conduct joint experimentation to investigate interoperability, usability, and enhance joint de-velopment efforts for the benefit of these emerg-ing capabilities."

Media are invited to attend Media Day from 8:15-11:15 a.m. on Sept. 23, 2015, when partici-pants will present their technologies findings from the prior two-week demonstration. At-tached is the day's agenda.

Man Facing Several Charges After High Speed Pursuit in Solomons Area

On Sept. 11, at approximately 10:55, Calvert County Sheriff’s Office person-nel became involved in a pursuit with a 2009 burgundy Hyundai Santa Fe in the Solomons area of Calvert County. The vehicle had previously fled from St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office person-nel. The operator of the fleeing vehicle was wanted in reference to a serious domestic assault that occurred in Anne Arundel County during the early morn-ing hours. The subject was alleged to have had a gun in his possession. A look-out had been broadcasted to surrounding counties for the suspect’s vehicle.

Dfc. Galen Gott was the lead vehicle in the pursuit and observed the vehicle failing to stop for intersections con-trolled by traffic control devices, driv-ing on the shoulder and in the median to pass other vehicles, travelling at speeds in excess of 100 miles per hour and showing total disregard for the safety of our citizens. Responding deputies co-ordinated the deployment of stop sticks, rolling road blocks and any other means to terminate the pursuit. The operator of the suspect vehicle rammed four po-lice vehicles during the pursuit while travelling at a high rate of speed. Once the vehicles were rammed it was deter-mined that a Precision Immobilization Technique (PIT) would be performed to

bring the pursuit to an end. Southbound Route 4 traffic was stopped at Broomes Island Road to ensure the southbound lanes were not occupied by any vehicles during the PIT. A PIT was executed northbound Rt. 4 between the intersec-tions of Western Shores Boulevard and Governor’s Run Road in Port Republic. The PIT that terminated the pursuit was performed by Dfc. Buckler. The suspect vehicle skidded into the median and it appeared as if the operator attempted to regain control of the vehicle by coun-ter steering which caused him to cross the southbound lanes and come to rest in a wooded area along the southbound lanes.

The operator, Michael David Hussey, 58 of Odenton, was taken into custody by Sheriff’s Office personnel and was transported to Calvert Memorial Hospi-tal for injuries he sustained during the impact with the median and the tree he struck. Hussey is facing numerous seri-ous local charges in addition to the 1st and 2nd degree assault charges, reckless endangerment, disorderly and driving on a suspended license that Anne Arun-del County charged him with during the early morning hours.

Press Release

Disorderly Conduct / Harassment / Trespassing:

On Sept. 10 at 10:42 p.m., Troop-er First Class Palumbo responded to a reported trespassing in the 200 block of Fairground Rd. in Prince Frederick. The victim reported that Sherman E. Stepney, 52 of no fixed address, had followed her when she was returning to her residence and

attempted to enter her residence. The victim was able to close the door and lock him out of her residence. TFC Palumbo located Stepney, sit-ting outside the victim’s apartment. Stepney was extremely intoxicated and disorderly. He was arrested and incarcerated at the Calvert County Detention Center.

STATE POLICE REPORTPrince Frederick

Our Employees

Commissioner’s Corner

Many criticize the county government often because the individual has an ‘axe to grind’ over a particular policy or issue. Often, it is our county employees who take the brunt of the criticism, but typi-cally, the county employee is simply do-ing what and how they are instructed to implement the laws and ordinances of the national, state and local authorities.

Especially during tough economic con-ditions, it can be a real challenge to find ways to thank the hard work done by our county employees. Budget constraints of-ten preclude the type of financial recogni-tion through Pay Raises, Cost of Living Allowances, Step Increases, and Awards. We still do have a monthly and yearly Employee of the Month recognition pro-gram and various award recognition cer-emonies as one means to say thank you.

Other opportunities present themselves as means to say thanks. A yearly employ-ee luncheon and a yearly dinner are such an event where we are able to get together and communicate outside of work. At the yearly employee luncheon, each employ-ee receives a ticket for a drawing. When the numbers are pulled, the winning tick-et holder earns a day off with that work day substituted by either the County Ad-ministrator or one of the Commissioners as selected by the winning ticket holder.

This year, Commissioner Pat Nutter, was selected to work at the Calvert Ma-rine Museum, Commissioner Mike Hart, selected to work at the Chesapeake Hills Golf Course, and Commissioners Tom Hejl and Steve Weems, were selected to work at Water and Sewer. County Ad-ministrator, Terry Shannon was selected to work at the Office on Aging. I was se-lected to work at Highway Maintenance.

I spent the day, yes it was in the 90’s de-

gree with some of the finest county employ-ees we have. Assigned to a crew (usually 4 – 6 members) who addresses ‘drainage’ issues, we first at-tempted to remove a collapsed drain pipe, but had to relocate when it was discovered proper markings had not been made. Even the county must comply with the “Miss Utility” requirements.

Instead, we moved to an area on Coster Road in Lusby where a Bobcat and dump trucks were used to scrape and haul away a layer of grass and dirt that had been causing flooding issues there. While I easily manned the push broom sweep-ing away the dirt that accumulated on the road from the scraping, and also handled that Stop/Slow sign for oncoming traffic, I declined using the Bobcat. I was able to also ‘drive’ the dump truck if you con-sider driving being ‘move the truck a few feet at a time while progressing down the road while the Bobcat filled the truck’.

Each employee I encountered at High-way Maintenance was cheerful, profes-sional, and enthusiastically expressed their love of work knowing they were providing a service for their fellow citi-zens of Calvert County. It was a long hot day of work, but the service helpful to the citizens. Some employees earned that extra day off. I sure hope the others I worked with that day realize that we commissioners truly do appreciate them as employees.

Dear Fellow Clergy, You are invited to participate in an

evening of prayer for Governor Larry Hogan on Saturday, Sept. 19, from 7-8 p.m. to be held at Chesapeake Church in Huntingtown, Md.

As you know, the Governor is bat-tling cancer and his office has asked for clergy and their congregations through-out the State to gather together and pray for his recovery.

Chesapeake Church has been asked to host the event for Southern Maryland and I sincerely hope your congregation will want to attend and that you will take an active role in the event itself.

The evening will begin at 7 p.m. with music; there will be a general welcome and then moments of prayer. Our hope is to conclude with as many pastors standing together in unified prayer for Governor Hogan’s health.

The service will conclude with light refreshments and fellowship.

While we expect elected officials (from both political parties) to be pres-ent –this is in no way a political event.

In these times of spiritual separation, with people so polarized, I believe it is God’s very hand that has the govern-ment coming to local churches seeking prayer.

This is our opportunity as spiritual leaders to demonstrate in unity that God’s love and mercy surpass our differences.

Please announce this in your bulletin, promote it through social media and any

other communications you have. Let us remember the calling of Scrip-

ture: “I urge, then, first of all, that peti-tions, prayers, intercession and thanks-giving be made for all people— for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.”

1 Timothy 2:1-2

Open Letter to the Clergy of Southern Maryland

Dear Editor:

Sometimes our world can seem like a scary place. With constant headlines about human suffering, racial strife and even possible wars—our world at home and abroad longs for peace. Mon-day, September 21 will mark the 33rd annual International Day of Peace. It is a time to recognize the efforts of those who have worked hard to end conflict and promote peace around the globe.What your readers may not know is that Community Mediation Center of Calvert County’s mission is to assist residents, organizations and businesses in our county by providing peaceful conflict resolution opportunities in a nonjudgmental and confidential pro-cess. Our team of mediators meets with people in a safe setting to help them have sometimes difficult conversations in order to resolve their differences. We are available for a variety of situ-ations, ranging from District and Cir-cuit Court cases, Sheriff’s Office refer-rals, family issues and parenting plans to neighbor disputes, landlord/tenant conflicts and a host of other situations. And we provide all of our mediation services at no cost to the participants.

We can sometimes forget that con-

flict is a shared human experience— we all have disagreements with others. In most cases, we can resolve disagree-ments ourselves, but sometimes we need help. In recognition of this im-portant day of caring and sharing we ask that you give mediation a try before holding a grudge, resorting to violence, destroying a relationship, calling the police or even going to court.

Have you ever wondered what plants you can put in your garden to repel mosquitoes? Or maybe what oysters look like before they hit the table? Have you been looking for a new jogging trail? Fishing Creek Trail in Chesapeake Beach can offer all that and more.

The Chesapeake Beach Oyster Cultiva-tion Society (CBOCS) has been making ef-forts to clean up Fishing Creek for the past five years, said CBOCS President John Bacon.

During these years, the CBOCS volunteers have tak-en part in a massive program to plant oysters in cages in the creek to be transferred to an artificial reef in the Chesa-peake Bay. A group of volun-teers gathered to plant oyster spat under the trail on Sept. 16. The cages are changed every 10 to 12 months, Bacon said.

The Fishing Creek trail took 23 years to approve and nine months to build, Bacon said. It is one and a half miles long and American Disabilities Act compliant, he said.

In a parallel mission to cleaning up the creek, and contributing to the efforts to clean up the Chesapeake Bay, CBOCS has been spearheading efforts to bring lo-cal students to the Fishing Creek Trail and teach them about the Fishing Creek envi-ronment, oysters, and the animals that live symbiotically with the oysters.

CBOCS started with Beach Elemen-tary School’s fifth graders five years ago, Bacon said. CBOCS then connected with Calvert County Public Schools (CCPS) and Chespax to get more schools involved. The number of schools involved in the educa-tional opportunities at Fishing Creek grows every year, Bacon said. Currently, between 850 and 1,000 fifth grade students, chaper-

ones, and teachers visit Fishing Creek and take part in the program every year.

The educational program takes students along the trail; allowing them to see grow-ing oysters, identify native plants and ani-mals, and more, Bacon said. Every student received a guidebook to take home so they can share information with their parents and families.

The fifth grade program is not the only one at fishing creek. Chesapeake Beach is gearing up for the first Happy Trails event on Oct. 3 from 4 to 6:40 p.m., said Chesa-peake Beach Community Development Director Connie O’Dell. Happy Trails

is target toward adults, O’Dell said, and will have stops along the trail with information about aqua-culture, nature watching, photography, and water monitoring. There will be local beer and wine tast-ing available at the event,

O’Dell said. Visitors to the trail will have a chance to check out the mosquito repellant garden planted at the end of the trail.

“It’s my desire to have different people out on the trail,” O’Dell said, saying that the majority of individuals on the trail are local residents who return daily or weekly. She hopes the event will draw more atten-tion to the Fishing Creek trail and bring in visitors from beyond Chesapeake Beach.

In another attempt to bring attention to the educational opportunities at Fishing Creek, Chesapeake Beach has created a field guide to the flora in the area, which look five naturalists three days to put to-gether, Bacon said. The field guide, and brochure with information about planting a mosquito repellent garden, are available at the Chesapeake Beach town hall building.

Calvert County Public Schools will host its annual Farm-to-School event at Calvert Elementary School on September 17, 2015. The day, which runs from 9:05 until 3:45, provides an exciting opportunity for students to learn about how food is grown, what it looks like when it’s harvested and the various forms these foods take on our grocery store shelves. Students from Calvert Country School will visit Calvert Elementary to share in the experience.

Students will rotate through four outside stations and one inside station throughout the course of the day. Descriptions of the stations are below.

Members of the press are invited to attend.

Farm-to-School Event at Calvert Elementary School

Often, children who do not have the proper school supplies are too ashamed to admit it and end up falling behind. Students cannot do their best if they do have the right tools. With 23 percent of registered Calvert County Public School students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, it was clear to Children’s Aid, Inc. we have students, neighbors, who will start school without the proper school sup-plies. That’s the reason the Calvert County nonprofit started Operation Backpack in 2009. Their goal is to highlight the impor-tance of education as well as help students ap-proach the beginning of the school year with a greater sense of confidence and hope.

As Operation Backpack 2015 comes to a close, Children’s Aid, Inc. would like to take the opportunity to thank the members of the community who supported their school sup-ply drive and the business owners who al-lowed collection boxes to be placed in their businesses. They would also like to recog-nize long-time Operation Backpack volun-teer Gayle Haines for organizing a school supply drive within The Potter’s Place Chris-tian Fellowship again this year. The church members’ generosity and volunteerism is truly commendable.

With school supplies that were donated at various locations and financial support from Children’s Aid, the HELP Association, Inc., Southern Maryland Electric Cooperative and the Optimist Club of Calvert County, Operation Backpack was able to provide new backpacks, school supplies and a new age-appropriate book to 172 Calvert County students for the 2015-2016 school year. “It is very rewarding to see the smiles on the faces of the children when the backpack they had hoped for (Frozen, Avengers, Sponge Bob, etc.) is handed to them,” said Krista Brezina, Executive Director of Children’s Aid, Inc.

“Children’s Aid, Inc. is a family-run char-ity with no paid staff and we would not have been able to prepare and distribute 172 back-packs and supplies without help. We would like to thank the 32 men, women and children volunteers who gave up a Saturday morning to organize school supplies, pack backpacks and set up book tables. It was heart-warming to see friends volunteering together and even entire families who came to help us pack the backpacks for distribution.” Brezina said.

The College of Southern Maryland is of-fering a Mechatronics Technology Robotics Certificate to enhance skills and knowledge not currently part of traditional engineering, engineering technology or computer science degrees.

“Based on recommendations from CSM’s Engineering and Technology Advisory Coun-cil and local public school STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) education coordinators, it was determined that there was a need in Southern Maryland for a robotics certificate program to serve stu-dents, technical professionals and teachers in the community,” said Business and Technol-ogy Division Chair Bernice Brezina.

This program is intended to be the first of additional certificate and degree programs in the field of mechatronics. The certifi-cate provides an education in the concepts and application of robotics technology and includes an introduction to mechatronics where students will learn about basic elec-tronics and electrical drives in mechatronic systems, basic motor control circuits and

simple programming of a microcontroller. The program provides knowledge and

skills that will help engineering and com-puter science professionals advance in their careers.

“The Navy is in the process of develop-ing and fielding an increasing number of au-tonomous, robotic, and unmanned systems to support the men and women who defend our country. The demand for graduates with education in these areas continues to grow,” said Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Di-vision Systems Engineer and Director, Au-tonomous Systems Strategic Thrust Stephen Kracinovich, a member of CSM’s Engineer-ing and Technology Advisory Council.

Core classes will be offered in the new Robotics Lab on the Leonardtown Cam-pus. For information on prerequisites and requirements, contact Brezina at 301-934-7573 or [email protected].

Who doesn’t like a good bottle of wine? At Bay Wine and Spirits, people can come in and find any type of wine they have a taste for.

Owner Sharon Hall takes pride in re-membering her customers and their fa-vorite wines. Wine can be purchased by the bottle or by the glass at Bay Wine and Spirits, making it a great place to go whether you’re looking to stock up for girl’s night out or a place to sit with a glass of wine and relax. The store is located on the waterfront in North Beach, and Hall works to ensure the store has a stress free atmosphere, with comfortable chairs in the store to encourage people to stay a while and there are occasional live bands in the store.

Bay Wine and Spirits opened eight years ago under a different owner. In 2009, the owner decided to get out of the business and Hall, with some help from her father, decided to take over the wine store.

The wine store has become a fixture in the community, Hall said. Several locals stop in weekly for a glass of wine with a friend or to buy a bottle. When someone new moves into town, she likes to talk to them and help them get to know their neighbors. She likes to help people make connections in their new community.

“I really do enjoy being a big part of the

county,” Hall said. Hall handpicks every wine in her inven-

tory, making sure there is a wide variety. She takes customer feedback into consid-eration when she’s selecting wines.

The session begins on October 8 and continues each Thursday until November 19. The group will meet at Trinity United Methodist Church in Prince Frederick from 6:30 – 8 pm.

Children and teens are divided into age-appropriate peer groups where creative ac-tivities and discussion are used to assist with coping and healing. Adult family members

With smiles and warm welcomes, More Tasty Blessings, a community kitchen and resource center, is bringing home cooked meals to south-ern Calvert. The complimentary meals are of-fered twice a week at the East John Youth Cen-ter, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6 to 7 p.m., to anybody, anywhere that is in need.

More Tasty Blessings started in July and is the combined effort of three different churches, the Solomons United Methodist Church and The Lusby Charge, which includes both the Eastern United Methodist Church and the St. John Unit-ed Methodist Church.

More Tasty Blessings started as a response to the need they saw in Southern Calvert. Eileen Miller, the Lay Leader of Solomons UMC, said that both northern Calvert and St. Mary’s al-ready had many resources available for those in need, but southern Calvert did not. In response, the three churches decided to combine their love and resources and help fill the void.

“We’re all about loving and serving within the community, and one of the big things we live by is to love one another, and this is an expres-sion of our love,” said Miller.

According to Pastor Marvin Wamble of the Lusby Charge, More Tasty Blessings got its name from the ministry Tasty Blessings, which started in 2008 by St. John UMC. Tasty Bless-ings was a program that would bring lunches to about 30 to 40 sick and shut-ins on Fridays. With the passion to do more, More Tasty Bless-ings came into being.

Since their start, they have served on average 100 people per week, and have been growing in numbers through word of mouth. According to Miller, they already seem to have a set group of regulars with new people every week.

“The big thing for us is that we just want peo-ple there, we want people to show up and we want to get to know our community better,” said Miller.

The meals, which are prepared on site, cost anywhere from $60 to $100 per night, but much of the food is generously donated by churchgo-ers, the surrounding community, Farming for Hunger, Kingfishers and Lotus Kitchen.

They are, however, always looking for more donations and volunteers to help.

More Tasty Blessings hopes to continue their ministry indefinitely and they hope to add more days to the schedule as the need grows. Accord-ing to Pastor Wamble, they are reaching out to schools and inviting families to come and join and they are looking into getting a mode of transportation to pick up and drop off those who cannot come on their own.

“Bottom line, it’s for the glory of God,” said Miller.

The East John Youth Center is located at 11835 Mill Bridge Rd. in Lusby. For more information on the ministry or ways to help, visit their Face-book page or call the Lusby Charge at 410-326-2987 or the Solomons UMC at 410-326-3278.

BLEACHERSA View From The

Sports

By Ronald N. Guy Jr.Contributing Writer

The end is near. Let the eulogies begin.

It is shocking, this present state. He was so good, so fast that such a precipitous fall would have seemed impossible just three years ago. Three years ago. A lifetime ago.

On Sept. 9, 2012, Robert Griffin III rolled into the visitor-unfriendly New Orleans Superdome and led Washington to a 40-28 victory over the Saints. He threw for 320 yards, rushed for 42, tossed two touchdown passes and definitively outplayed New Orleans QB Drew Brees, a fu-ture Hall of Famer.

A few bumps would follow: a concussion, a 3-6 record after nine games and a late-season knee injury against the Ravens. But Griffin was at the helm for six of seven consecu-tive wins to conclude the season, a stretch that delivered Washington’s first division title since 1999 and only its second home playoff game since 1992.

A hero was born.By the end of the 2012 regular sea-

son, Griffin’s star transcended foot-ball. Bright, fun, confident, brave, charismatic, interactive with fans, African American and from a mili-tary family, nearly everyone could find something in Griffin they could relate to and/or respect. He was still a quarterback, but not just a quarter-back. He was an entity. A fountain of hope. A source of pride. A reason to believe, not just in a football team, but that achievement – any achieve-ment – resided at the confluence of opportunity, a positive attitude and strong work ethic.

Griffin, circa 2012, could do no wrong. Griffin, circa 2015, can do no right – on or off the field. Demoted and mired in controversy (much of his creation), his tenure in the town that once chanted his name seems near its conclusion and his future in the NFL, a league temporarily capti-vated by his talent, is murky at best.

I don’t have the space and it’s doubtful you have the desire to re-hash the various reasons for Grif-fin’s fall. Like everything with the quarterback, it’s unnecessarily com-plicated. The factors include a seri-ous and wholly avoidable knee in-jury (shame on you Mike Shanahan), distrust between organization and player, Griffin’s passive-aggressive manipulation, controversial tweets,

personal logos and endless self-pro-motion. But mostly, Griffin’s failure can be condensed into this simply fact: post knee injury, he’s been ter-rible on the field.

The question is why? Why can’t he read defenses efficiently? Why is his footwork terrible? Why is his pocket presence so obviously deficient? Why, despite his physical gifts and after three full seasons in the NFL, does he still look so rudimentary be-hind center?

Did Griffin fail to learn or did his organization and coaches fail to nur-ture his growth and teach the posi-tion adequately?

These questions aren’t unique to Griffin and Washington. The NFL habitually chews up and spits out blue chip quarterbacks. Is it a player or team issue? In Cool Hand Luke, Captain’s famous “Failure to Com-municate” speech includes this line: “Some men you just can’t reach.” In the risky business of quarterback prospecting, there will always be kids who are destined to fail, regard-less of circumstance, but the burnout rate is still alarming. Literally half the quarterbacks drafted in the first round flame out. It’s damning proof that the formula for developing tal-ent at the game’s most important position confounds the league and football’s brightest minds.

As for Griffin and Washington, specifically, was the quarterback just another college spread-offense dynamo that failed to translate or the latest victim of a dysfunctional franchise? Who knows? Perhaps the pending documentary will provide answers. There’s certainly shared blamed between player and organi-zation. And maybe that’s the use-fulness of The Griffin Chronicles: a failed mentor-mentee relationship. Trust and respect were lost. Impa-tience and stubbornness were per-vasive. One party failed to adapt its teaching techniques to a unique tal-ent; the other failed to submit him-self to a new situation’s demands. The result - a lost career and a fran-chise in an inescapable death spiral – indicts all involved.

So…if you’re in a position to in-fluence lives or a person in need of guidance, heed the mutual failings in Griffin’s cautionary tale. I suppose that puts us all on notice.

Daryl Hills drove to his third win of the season in last Friday nights 20-lap Limited Late Model feature at Potomac Speedway. The win for Hills, his 15th career division feature win, also secured the 2015 track championship aboard his Ricky Lathroum owned Rocket no.55H.

Kerry King Sr. and Daryl Hills made up the front row for the start of the event with Hills surging into the race lead as the field stretched out off turn two. Hills would eventually lead all 20-circuits, but would have to repel a furi-ous late race rush by eventual runner-up David Williams, who had recovered from and early race spin, to post the win. “I saw Davids number up there on the scoreboard late in the race and I figured we were done,” Hills stated in his post race interview. “He has a fast race car and it was tough holding him off, but we were able to get the job done.” Hills feature score capped off his championship season. “This championship go’s to Ricky Lathroum and everyone who helped us this season,” Hills remarked. “Ricky gave me the chance to drive his car this season and to get him three wins and a track title, I couldn’t be more proud.” Steven Axtell Jr. was third with Barry Lear Sr.and Billy Tucker rounding out the top-five. Heats went to Hills and Williams.

Mike Franklin became a first time Potomac champion with his 11th win of the season in the 16-lap Street Stock feature. Franklin darted from his third starting spot and would lead from green to checker to post his 28th overall feature win of the 2015 season. Scott Wilson, Chuck Bowie, Barry Williams and Mike Raleigh trailed Franklin at the finish.

In support class action John Burch scored his second win of the season and career 49th in the 15-lap Hobby Stock main with Jonathan Raley

securing his second straight track title, Mikey Latham rolled to his 5th win of the season in the 15-lap U-Car feature with Corey Swaim taking the track championship and Ed Pope Sr.drove to his 6th win of the season in the nightcap 15-lap Strictly Stock feature with John Hardesty nail-ing down his third career division championship.
