Dfc. Bush Honored for Service at Memorial The family, friends and brothers and sisters in blue said their farewells on Friday at the memo- rial service for DFC Jason Bush of the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Offi ce. DFC Bush, 34 of Ridge, passed away on April 29, 2019 after a long and courageous battle with cancer. Bush entered duty with the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Offi ce on Aug. 10, 2015 and graduated the Southern Maryland Criminal Justice Acad- emy, Class 42, on June 3, 2016. Deputy Bush dis- tinguished himself with a kind spirit and com- mitment to others. He was a genuine peacemak- er, patiently treating everyone with tremendous respect. At the memorial service held at the Bay Dis- trict Volunteer Fire Department Social Hall, Sheriff Tim Cameron, Rev. Larry Crabtree and Capt. David Yingling, Commander of the Patrol Division, shared their thoughts and memories of Deputy Bush, along with colorful stories from his friends Sean Crotty and Lenny Sershen. We are proud of our brother for the bravery he displayed in fi ghting cancer. Jason’s calm cour- age in the storm, determination and commit- ment serve as an inspiration for us all. His gentle smile, trademark humor and grace under pres- sure touched the lives of everyone he encoun- tered – leaving a legacy of altruism that meant so much to us all.

As the county, state and nation honor nurses and their profession this week, MedStar St. Mary’s Hospital hon- ored four of them for their outstanding achievement in a fi eld of work that is as critical as it is challenging. One nurse, Sherry Wolfe, an oncology nurse at Med- Star in Leonardtown has worked treating cancer pa- tients for almost 20 years; she was nominated for the Daisy Award, which recognizes excellent patient care, by a patient who is also an oncology nurse she has worked with for 13 years. “I was kind of surprised,” Wolfe said of receiving the award. “I guess I didn’t expect it.” Over two decades Wolfe estimated she has easily treated thousands of patients who go through chemo- therapy and other regimes on a regular basis. The faces may change but the job and how she per- forms doesn’t; she got into this line of work largely due to her personality, she said. “It’s just helping people, even as a little kid I was always trying to help someone else,” Wolfe told The County Times. “It’s challenging and rewarding at the same time.” Aside from administering medications to patients, Wolfe develops relationships with them to help them through their diffi cult times. “You just try to make them laugh, make them smile,” Wolfe said. “Sometimes we see them more than their families Sydney Clement, BSN, RN, Intensive Care Center, 2018 DAISY Award winner; Sherry Wolfe, RN, Cancer Care & Infusion “We get to know our patients very well and their im- Services, 2019 DAISY Award winner; Yhamira Aud, RN, Telemetry, 2019 Preceptor of the Year; and Diana Altevers, RN, mediate families, too.” MedStar Health Good Catch Award winner pictured at the MedStar St. Mary’s Hospital Annual Nurses’ Dinner.

It is also hope- ful that the sheer majesty, and both the regretful but exhilarating feeling manufactured by this climatic event, didn’t blur or diminish the great end to the most spectacular superhero experience – ever. With the spoiler prohibition now lifted discussing “Avengers: End Game” is fair game. Although, if you are still clinging to ignorance, worry not – this is more about what we mere mortals can take from this departing fran- chise than any particular “End Game” scene.
