Dominion Construction Remains on Schedule


By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
Dominion Cove Point (DCP) began
construction on the Liquefied Natural
Gas (LNG) facility a year ago, and so far
construction is on schedule.
Workers are transitioning from earthwork to foundations and equipment installation, said Vice President of Cove
Point Construction Bob McKinley. The
sound wall, designed to reduce impact on the surrounding community, is
scheduled to be completed this fall, he
said.
In addition to keeping construction on
site on time, Dominion is working to ensure the safety of the surrounding community. They are paying for the training
and installation of a fire brigade to be
on site 24/7 and equipped with reaction
equipment for any eventuality at the
LNG facility, according to Vice President Mike Frederick.
DCP is also in the process of acquirPhotos by Sarah Miller

ing permits that would allow them to


build an emergency road to allow families living past DCP to evacuate the area
without driving directly past the facility
in the event of an emergency. The route
would be paid for and maintained by
DCP, Frederick said, and gated off when
not in use. It would be activated only at
direction from Calvert Emergency Ser-

vices, he said.
The liquefaction project should be in
operation in the fourth quarter of 2017.

Supreme Court
Mandated Tax Return
Will Have Little
Impact on Calvert

Annapolis, Md. Governor Larry Hogan and Comptroller Peter Franchot today
urged eligible Maryland residents who
filed and paid income taxes to another
state between 2011 and 2014 to apply for
a tax refund against the county portion
of their Maryland state income taxes.
Refunds are now taking place following
a recent Supreme Court ruling related to
local income taxes.
For years I have said that Maryland
citizens were being overtaxed and overcharged, and now an estimated 55,000
taxpayers are eligible for substantial
income tax refunds, Governor Hogan
said. The Supreme Courts decision earlier this year allows us to provide another $200 million in tax relief, which will
immediately go back into the pockets of
Maryland taxpayers, and back into our
state economy.
For the thousands of Maryland taxpayers impacted by the Wynne decision, the
Comptrollers Office is working diligently to get your money back to you, where
it belongs, Comptroller Franchot said.
We have dedicated an enormous amount
of resources, technology, and staff to getting refunds out the door as quickly as
possible. To date, my office has processed
more than 4,000 claims, returning more
than $53 million to Marylanders.

According to information from Calvert


Director of Finance and Budget, the decision will require the county to return approximately $300,000 in total to 414 taxpayers per year for the next three years.
Calvert brings in $71 million in income
tax revenue every year, Hayden said.
It shouldnt have a big impact on us.
Maryland taxpayers should visit www.
WynneTaxRefund.Maryland.gov to get
more information on whether they are
eligible for a refund. Individual circumstances vary and taxpayers are encouraged to have a tax professional advise
them regarding how this decision affects
them. In general, Maryland residents who
have paid taxes on income earned in certain jurisdictions of another U.S. state
may be eligible for a tax refund. However,
these refunds are not automatic, and taxpayers who believe they may be entitled
to a refund are encouraged to file as soon
as possible. Earlier this year, Maryland
residents Brian and Karen Wynne won
their case in the U.S. Supreme Court after
challenging that payment of local income
in both Maryland and other local jurisdictions was illegal double taxation. The
Wynnes won their case when a majority
of justices ruled that Marylands income
tax law was unconstitutional.

AG Frosh: Maryland
to Investigate
VW Deception
Harm to Buyers,
Environment Must Be
Addressed, Frosh Says

Attorney General Brian E. Frosh today


announced that Maryland will be investigating deceptive emissions mechanisms in
Volkswagen diesel vehicles, and will examine ways to compensate vehicle owners
and protect against future environmental
harm.
Maryland will coordinate with at least 28
other states that are investigating Volkswagen, Attorney General Frosh said.
I am furious that the worlds leading car
company willfully took steps that polluted
our environment and deceived consumers,
Attorney General Frosh said. I share the
anger of those who put their trust in this
company and its promises. We will fight
aggressively for the best possible outcome

for Marylanders.
Volkswagen has acknowledged installing software in its diesel passenger vehicles
that turned on full emissions controls during testing, but switched them off during
normal road driving, allowing the vehicles
to emit as much as 40 times as much pollution as allowed under the Clean Air Act.
Maryland law imposes more stringent
emission standards than the federal government and Marylands Consumer Protection Act prohibits misleading statements
made to consumers about the vehicles that
they are buying.

Activists from We Are Cove


Point and Allied Groups
Disrupt Virginia Governor's
Keynote Address at
Energy Symposium

Five activists disrupted Governor McAuliffes keynote address at the Biennial Natural Resources and Energy Law Symposium
today by performing a poem written specifically for the Governor and creatively
demanding that he call off the proposed
pipelines threatening to go through Virginia. The activists were members of the
Blue Ridge Environmental Defense League,
SEED: Stopping Extraction and Exports Destruction, We Are Cove Point, and FANG:
Fighting Against Natural Gas.
Taking turns with each verse, they
stood on chairs and recited a poem entitled
McAuliffe Knows (see text below). It
spotlighted the hypocrisy of the Governor,
primarily regarding his continued support
of several natural gas pipelines proposed to
devastate Virginia and the Appalachian region. The group targeted the Governor and
the event itself a symposium made up
largely of representatives from the energy
industry, government and academia, to address the array of energy opportunities in
Appalachia.
The Governors keynote address was
timed to occur immediately prior to a panel
on Natural Gas Pipelines, which included
a representative from Dominion Resources.
On Friday, September 18, 2015, a consortium
of energy companies, including Dominion
Resources, formally applied to the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission for permission to build the Atlantic Coast Pipeline, a
564-mile natural gas pipeline that would
pass through West Virginia, Virginia, and

North Carolina. Another consortium, led by


EQT Midstream Partners, is seeking to build
the 300-mile Mountain Valley Pipeline,
which would run from Wetzel County, West
Virginia, to Pittsylvania County, Virginia.
According to the Appalachian School of
Laws Dan Caldwell, the day-long symposium was designed to model an atmosphere
of rational debate in order to reach common
ground on laws affecting energy production
in Appalachia. Tickets for the event were $50
for students and as high as $200 for anyone
not a member of a government or nonprofit
group.
Whitney Whiting, a community organizer with Blue Ridge Environmental Defense
League said, The Governor continues to
tout a New Virginia Economy based on
more fracking and more gas pipelines. But
there is nothing new about an economic
system based on extraction and exploitation
of land, people, and natural resources. How
will fracked gas traveling through Virginia
in massive pipelines benefit Appalachia? It
wont. It will benefit Dominion and EQT,
not Virginians, or anyone else in the Appalachian region.
The groups participants said they had
accomplished their goal of adding an extra
voice to the days conversation, and by sending the message to Governor McAuliffe and
industry representatives that the resistance
to natural gas infrastructure in Virginia is
stronger than ever.

In conjunction with Peripheral Artery Disease Awareness (PAD) month, MedStar St.
Marys Hospital (MSMH) is working to help
educate the community about PAD, an often
undiagnosed illness which left untreated can
lead to lower extremity amputation, as well
as extensive pain and suffering, and even
death.
It is estimated PAD affects between 8 and
12 million Americans over the age of 50 or
one in 20 adults.
PAD is a disease that occurs when arteries particularly in the lower legs become
clogged with fatty deposits that limit blood
flow. PAD increases your risk of heart attack
and stroke, but timely detection and treatment can reduce these risks and improve your
quality of life.
To educate communities about the prevention and risk factors associated with PAD,
MedStar Health is working in collaboration
with Dare to C.A.R.E to provide cost-free
vascular screenings. Vascular screenings
have been beneficial in uncovering blockages
that may have otherwise gone undetected.
Screenings are quick and pain-free using
ultrasound technology and appointments include blood pressure checks. If you are age
50 to 80, smoke, have diabetes, have high
blood pressure and/or high cholesterol, you
may be at increased risk for PAD. Schedule
your screening today by calling 410-5739483, ext. 202 or 203.
In addition to education and informal
screenings, MedStar St. Marys offers a
comprehensive approach to combating PAD
from testing and diagnosis, to treatment and
follow-up care. Technologically advanced diagnostic and surgical procedures are offered
through the hospitals angiography suite,
which is complemented by the wound-care
services offered through MSMHs state-ofthe-art Wound Healing Center.
Many people who have PAD do not experience any symptoms, said Charlene Rohulich, Operations Specialist for MedStar St.
Marys Wound Healing Center. Smokers,
African Americans, people with high blood
pressure, and individuals older than 50 with
diabetes are at a much greater risk of having
the disease.
Typical symptoms of PAD include:
Fatigue, heaviness and cramping in the
legs during activities such as walking or
climbing stairs that goes away with rest;
Pain in the legs and/or feet at rest, disturbing sleep;

Sore or wounds on toes, feet or legs that


heal slowly, poorly or not at all;
Color changes in the skin of the feet, including paleness or blueness;
A lower temperature in one leg compared
to the other leg;
Poor nail growth and decreased hair
growth on toes and legs.
The Wound Healing Center offers a variety of tests for PAD including an ankle-brachial index (ABI), a painless and easy procedure that involves comparison between blood
pressure readings in the ankles and the arms,
and a Doppler ultrasound to see which artery
or arteries are blocked.
MSMH offers tests for PAD and our
Wound Healing Center treats chronic
wounds which may have underlying conditions of PAD, Rohulich said. Many people
dont realize that lifestyle changes are an important part of managing PAD.
The following action steps can help manage PAD.
Quitting smoking
Correcting blood pressure and cholesterol
issues
Developing healthy eating habits
Create an exercise plan
Consult with a doctor about medications
that may help PAD
Special procedures and surgeries to open
arteries that have narrowed
PAD can increase a persons risk of
heart attack, stroke, amputation and possibly
death. It is important to discuss your risk factors with your doctor, said Rohulich
MedStar St. Marys Wound Healing Center is equipped with two state-of-the-art hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) chambers,
which use a combination of high pressure and
pure oxygen to help patients heal at a quicker
rate than traditional treatments. The facility
s is one of nearly 800 centers in the nation
managed by Healogics, the nations largest
provider of advance wound care services.
People with wounds that have not improved with traditional methods of treatment may benefit from a visit to MedStar
St. Marys Wound Healing Center. For more
information about the Wound Healing Center, visit the hospitals web site at MedStarStMarys.org. To schedule an appointment, call
240-434-7670. To be referred to a vascular

As you have probably heard


by now, the Family Fun Night
at the Chesapeake Beach Waterpark scheduled for Sunday, Oct.
18 has been cancelled.
As a resident and an elected
official of the Town, I am embarrassed and upset that an
event which allowed over 1,000
children each year to Trick
or Treat in a safe friendly atmosphere had to be cancelled.
Unfortunately, three of my colleagues, Ms. Valerie Beaudin,
Mr. Jeff Krahling and Mr. Eric
Reinhardt felt it necessary to
remove funds from the Special
Events budget rather than allocate money from our Reserve
Account.
But, it doesnt stop there.
Ms. Beaudin, Mr. Krahling
and Mr. Reinhardts action have
also resulted in the cancellation
of the Towns Annual Light Up
The Town night (the Sunday after Thanksgiving.) This event
not only ushered in the holiday
season in Chesapeake Beach,
but allowed the musicians of

Feature Story

State of Md. Says Trailer Park


Dear
Secretaries
Tenants Are Not Our Problem
By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer

Legally and morally, he [Hallowing Point Trailer


Park property owner Mike Mona) should be treating
those tenants with much, much more respect than he
has been, said Calvert Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) Vice President Evan Slaughenhoupt, Jr.
The owners of Hallowing Point Trailer Park stand to
make $1.9 million from the sale of the property to the
Maryland Department of Natural Resources. The sale,
and subsequent eviction of more than 100 people, has
been the subject of ongoing concern
from the BOCC.
Demolition of the Hallowing Point
Trailer Park and stabilization of the former restaurant site will be taking place
in the next 12 to 24 months, according
to information from the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE).
MDE was originally interested in
the property because of the opportunity it offers to enhance community offerings at Hallowing Point Park.
The Southern Regional Services Center is in bad
shape, said Maryland Parks Service Chief of Planning
Mary Owens. Acquiring the Hallowing Point property,
along with the adjacent Friscoe Property, will allow the
Department of Natural Resources to address planned
expansion of DNRs Southern Regional Service Center, address some maintenance and operational concerns at the existing boat ramp, expand and diversify
water access opportunities on the Calvert County side
of the Patuxent, and restore a degraded waterfront
site, according to information provided by Owens.
Prior to pursuing the acquisition, DNR staff approached Calvert County staff about working cooperatively to develop a small waterfront park on the site
and to assist in the future parks development and management. The County expressed a willingness to work
with the State, and collaboration on the overall project
is ongoing, DNR documents state.
DNR does not yet own the property and money has
not changed hands, said, Director of Land Acquisition
and Planning Emily Wilson. Before DNR can take
ownership of the property, the owner needs to cap the
wells and clean up the site. All tenants must be off the
property before the property transfer can go to settlement, Wilson said, but DNR is not involved in the relocation efforts.
Thats not actually our role, Wilson said. Thats

a landlord-tenant issue. We dont even own the


property.
DNR has a year to close on the property, and that
timeframe may be extended if the property isnt in a
state that it can be transferred by August 2016, Wilson
said.
The Calvert Housing Authority is one of a number of organizations offering residents who will be
displaced assistance through the Rental Allowance
Program, said Director of Rental Services Amy Crisp.
Taking ownership of the property before DNR in order to more smoothly transition families was not an
option.
We wouldnt have been able to do
that, Crisp said.
While the county is willing to work
with DNR to design the development of
the property and to support community
activities once they begin, the BOCC
is concerned about the treatment of
the individuals and families currently
living on the property. The BOCC recently approved a letter on Sept. 12 to be sent to Secretary of Maryland Housing and Community Development The Honorable Kenneth Holt and Secretary of
the Maryland Department of Human Resources The
Honorable Sam Malhotra detailing the legal and moral
obligation the Hallowing Point property owner has to
assist with the relocation of his tenants.
Elected state officials were not privy to the details
of the deal made between DNR and Hallowing Point,
LLC, Et Al.
Legally, Im not certain what can be done, said
Senator Mike Miller, adding that he is working with
Calvert to help find habitats for families facing eviction from Hallowing Point. His office has received a
number of letters asking for aid, Miller said.
The county and the state need to listen to the message Pope Francis preached during his visit to the
United States and recognize that the state and the
county need to do all they can do to alleviate the burden from the homeowners who live in substandard
housing at Hallowing Point.
This is not the first time Miller has encountered individuals displaced from their homes without being
provided with alterative housing.
Its a problem, Miller said.

Legally, Im
not certain
what can
be done...

Second in a series.

Holt and
Malhotra:
The human stories at Hallowing Point Trailer Park
that have unfolded over the
past years have tested our
collective resources to address living conditions and
personal situations for those
residents.
Overall, it is with great
appreciation that housing
vouchers and Social Services referrals have served
those residents well over
the past years. We write today on a related topic that is
unfolding as we write. As
you are aware, the Board of
Public Works approved the
acquisition of the Hallowing Point Trailer Park by
the Department of Natural
Resources. As a condition
of the sale, we understand
the property owner is to
terminate all residential
leases and turn the property
over after removing all improvements. Our collective
resources continue to work
collaboratively to ensure
proper referrals are made
for residents and available
resources are made accessible to residents of Hallowing Point.
The dedication of all personnel is sincerely appreciated. However, a number
of concerned citizens have
contacted us regarding any
relocation plan the property
owner may have for aiding
residents in finding new
homes.
As a result of the current
situation, we have found
there may be opportunities
for additional clarity in the
application of Title 8A, of
the Real Property Article
of the Maryland Annotated
Code, which Title addresses mobile home parks and,
within Subtitle 12, their closure. Applicability of Subtitle 12 to Hallowing Point
has been questioned on two
grounds. First, Real Property Article, 8-101(j), defines
a resident to include those
who own a trailer and resides in a Park. Therefore, it
appears that those residents
of Hallowing Point, who do
not own, but, instead, lease
a trailer and a space in the
mobile home park, are not
eligible for the protections
of Title 8A, Subtitle 12, of
the Real Property
Article. If that is not the

result intended by your respective Departments, we


would encourage remedial
legislation.
Similarly, we have found
that the property owner
does not intend to obtain approvals for a change in land
use until the mobile home
park is vacated. As you are
aware, withholding approval for a change in land use
is the sole penalty available
to a local government, when
a mobile home park owner
seeks a change in land use,
but does not submit a relocation plan or fails to follow
that plan. There is neither a
remedy nor relocation assistance plan required where
the park owner causes the
park to become vacant
prior to seeking approval
for a change in land use.
If that is not the result intended by your respective
Departments, we would
again encourage remedial
legislation.
In conclusion, it seems
that Title 8A, of the Real
Property Article of the
Maryland Annotated Code
affords protections above
and beyond those generally
available to residential tenants. To qualify for those
additional protections requires the tenant own their
trailer and lease a trailer
space within a
Mobile Home Park. Additionally, those protections for trailer owners in
Mobile Home Parks are not
enforceable when the Park
owner first vacates the Park,
then, later seeks approval
for a change in land use. Because these laws are generally applicable throughout
the State, we yield to your
collective judgments, and
those of the members of the
General Assembly, as to
whether or not these are the
results intended.
Sincerely,
Board of County
Commissioners
Calvert County, Maryland

Presenting the professionals' favorite properties on the market.

Featured
Homes of
the Week

By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
The Board of County Commissioners
and Board of Education to discuss budget challenges and funding needs in the
coming budget build for fiscal year (FY)
2017.
During the meeting, the boards discussed the effects of the last budget
build, which resulted in 39 fewer teachers overall, 35 fewer instructional assistants, and cutting programs with lackluster attendance, among other things.
It sounds like the schools are weaker
this year than they were last year, said
commissioner Mike Hart.
During the meeting, both boards talked about the need to keep up to date with

Other Post Employee Benefits (OPEB)


payments.
If we dont pay now, well have to
pay double payments in the future, said
Calvert County Director of Finance and
Budget Tim Hayden.
Options discussed to keep OPEB payments affordable included requiring
employee contribution, requiring preMedicare contributions, reducing benefits, and establishing a defined-contribution OPEB benefit.
The BOEs next meeting will be on
Oct. 8. The BOCC meets every Tuesday
starting at 10 a.m. For more information,

Getting Crafty
at the Library

By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer

To list a
property in our next
Realtors Choice edition,
call 301-373-4125.

Calvert Library hosts a number of craft


groups, giving adults and teens a place to
be crafty with their friends and get new
ideas.
We support each other and our crafts,
said Prince Frederick Pins and Needles
member Carol Cornelius.
The groups also try to support their communities. Crafters occasionally give gifts to
librarians and donate items to charity, said
Dallas Bolen.
The Pins and Needles group at Prince
Frederick was the first of the library based
crafting groups. The group started out with
quilters who met regularly at each others
homes. Eventually, the group became big
enough for the library to host them weekly,
Cornelius said.
The crafting groups offer a way for indi-

viduals who are new to the county to find


friends with similar interests. Missy Nice
and her daughter, Katelynn Nice, saw advertisements at the library for Pins and
Needles and decided to try it out. They
found friendly people willing to help them
learn new knitting techniques, Missy said.
There are three separate crafts groups
that meet at libraries countywide. The
Prince Frederick group meets from 1 to 4
p.m. on Fridays. The second group meets at
Southern Branch on Tuesdays from 6 to 9
p.m. in Solomons and the third group meets
at the Twin Beaches on Mondays from 1 to
4 p.m.
The crafting groups are open to any and
every body interested in learning a new
skill or in honing an existing one. For more
information, visit calvert.lib.md.us.

BLEACHERS
A View From The

Own It
By Ronald N. Guy Jr.
Contributing Writer

He was, initially, just the longlocked first baseman on the Philadelphia Phillies team that lost to
the Baltimore Orioles in the 1983
World Series. Quite a fuss was
made of this active icon, but his
mediocre play didnt seem to match
the verbal accolades. I suppose
when youre a kid, its all about the
moment. Theres no concept of careers or the passage the time. And
in 1983, there was no Google machine to confirm or deny the legend. Sohistory, schmistory.
I didnt set eyes on Pete Rose until that 83 Series. I was 10. He was
42. In the years to come Id learn
about his Charlie Hustle moniker (a hard-nosed style reminiscent
of the old Rocking Chair softball
league,) his bulldozing of Ray
Fosse in the 1970 All-Star Game
and The Big Red Machine. I witnessed his astonishing MLB record
4,192nd hit in 1985 and came to
understand - even appreciate - the
obvious chip on his shoulder and
the wealth of Donald Trump-like
arrogance that made it all possible.
In 1989, Rose was infamously
banned from baseball by Commissioner Bart Giamatti for betting on
the game. Despite his fervent denial and appeals to two subsequent
Commissioners (Fay Vincent and
Bud Selig,) the ban remains. I believed Rose for a long time. I read
his book My Story and shook the
mans hand after he autographed it
in the early 1990s. The 10-year-old
child in us doesnt die easily.
He was, as is now known, a
spectacular liar, one fueled by the
same pride that made him MLBs
Hit King. In 2004, Rose admitted to betting on the Reds to win
while he was manager; earlier this
year, evidence indicated that he bet
on baseball as an active player. Yet
Rose, robbed of his baseball identity and no doubt driven by the need
for Hall of Fame immortality, continues his quest for reinstatement.
Rose met with new Commissioner
Fred Manfred last week; a decision
is anticipated by years end.
Let him in. Why not? Yeah,
hes unethical. A liar. A violator
of baseballs golden rule. But isnt
a 25-year penance enough? And
frankly, MLB applying a Puritan
code on Rose wreaks of hypocrisy. Its sacred Hall of Fame is

already filled with miscreants. Cap


Anson helped establish the color
barrier by refusing to play with
African Americans. Commissioner
Kenesaw Mountain Landis perpetuated baseballs segregation for
decades (Jackie Robinson finally
integrated the sport three years
after Landiss death.) Orlando
Cepeda was incarcerated for drug
smuggling. Gaylord Perry made a
career out of doctoring the baseball. Babe Ruth was a drunk and a
womanizer. And Willie McCovey
pled guilty to tax evasion. All are
enshrined in Cooperstown.
Where was baseballs high moral
standard, its reverence for the sanctity of the game, during the steroid
era? Comparing crimes is difficult,
but isnt gambling Roses sin
abhorred because it compromises
competition? Doesnt the presence
of hulked up players capable of artificially-enhanced performance do
the same thing? Why not let them
all in? Excluded, Rose and the juicers are pariahs. With Hall of Fame
passes, their baseball accomplishments and sins can be properly
documented. Tattoo their baseball
immortality with well-earned scarlet letters: S for steroid users,
G for Rose the gambler.
How will Manfred rule at Roses
parole hearing? The bet (pardon
the pun) is he remains banned. Regardless, Roses predicament is his
own doing, the byproduct of pervasive, ego-fueled deceit. For decades
Rose clung to his act, admitting the
truth only after hard evidence exposed his charade. The purposeful concealment compounded the
transgression and didnt allow
America to indulge its compulsive
need to forgive (particularly the
sins of its favorite sons.) Had Rose
just owned his error in 1989 and
overturned every uncomfortable
stone in his checkered past, hed
be back in the publics good graces
and would likely be a member of
the Hall of Fame.
Despite all his on-field accomplishments, that the brutal consequences from his lack of personal
ownership and genuine remorse is what the Hit King has taught
that 10-year-old boy in the 32 years
since their introduction. A melancholy thanks to you, Mr. Rose.

Kyle Lee's Winchester First Comes


in Coveted Virginia Nationals
Tyler Bare Triumphs in RUSH
Crate Late Model Main

By Doug Watson
Contributing Writer

Mercersburg Pa.'s Kyle Lee capped a perfect


weekend with his first-career Winchester feature win in last Saturday nights 30-lap "Virginia Nationals" Limited Late Model feature,
steering his Dougie Timmoms owned Rocket
no.2T.
Justin Williams and Kyle Lee shared the
front-row for the start with Lee surging into the
race lead at the field scampered into turn one.
Lee had his machine dialed in to the slick but
racy Winchester surface as he would eventually lead all 30-circuits. Scott Palmer chased
Lee for the first 19-laps before his car quit,
handing the spot to Justin Weaver who then
took up the chase but was no match for Lee and
would settle for runner-up honors. "It's really
neat to come to a track we don't race at very
often and come home with a win." A jubilant
Lee stated during his post race interview. "The
track was in great shape tonight and I was able
to move around a bit and the longer we went
green the better our car got." Heavy lapped
traffic was the only real scare Lee faced during his winning drive. "Yeah, they were a bit
tricky tonight," said Lee. "I didn't want to see
any yellows because our car didn't fire well on
the restarts but we were able to get it done."
2015 champion Jonathan DeHaven was third,
Kurt Zimmerman was fourth with 20th starting Bubby Dillman completing the top-five.
Heats for the 32 cars entered went to Lee, Allan Brannon and Scott Palmer with Bob Dunn
taking the consolation.
Tyler Bare roared to the win in the 30-lap
RUSH Crate Late Model feature. Bare's win
was his second at Winchester this season and
seventh overall win for the 2015 Virginia Motor Speedway track champion. Bare and newly
crowned Winchester champion Darin Henderson were the front row for the start with Bare
vaulting into the race lead as the field completed the first circuit. Bare would eventually
lead the distance but would have to repel a late
race rush from eventual runner-up Brad Ritter
to secure the win aboard his MasterSbilt no.30.
"The track was a little slick here tonight, but
dad and the crew had this car working really
good tonight," Bare stated. "We've had a really
good season this year and I want to thank all
our sponsors who helped us this season." Logan Roberson was third with Reese Masiello
and Transton Stoner rounding out the top-five.
Heats for the 24 entries went to Henderson,
Ritter and Masiello.
2015 Hagerstown Speedway Pure Stock
champion Chris Ebersole took top-honors in
the 35-lap Pure Stock feature. Bedford Speedway regular Zane Weicht lead the first two
laps before Ebersole shot into the race lead.
Ebersole would then pace the remainder of
the event but would have to survive a spirited
drive from 2015 Winchester champion Mike
Franklin, who came all the way from his 19th
starting spot, to score the popular win. "We
always seem to have a good car here, but not
many good finishes," Ebersole said after his
win. "When I saw Mike get there in second
I thought I might be in trouble because he
started so far back, he must have been pretty
good, but It feels really good to hold him off
and get the win," Craig Parrill, Mike Bennett
and Mike Potts trailed at the finish. Heat wins
for the 32 car field went to Mike Corbin, Bennett and Weicht with Mike Franklin winning

the consolation.
In other action Richrad Gwizdale took
the win in the 35-lap Four-Cylinder main after apparent winner Frankie Gordon failed a
post-race inspection, Bryan Neff drove to his
first-career Winchester feature win in the 20lap Enduro Stock feature and Jason Wilkins
collected his seventh win of the season in the
15-lap U-Car contest.
