About the Instructor:

Darlene Gentry has over twenty-five years’ experience in instruction and training in martial arts, women’s self-defense, and self-defense education for the public. Darlene teaches self-defense part-time at St. Mary’s College of Maryland where for the past twenty years she has instructed a course that she created called “Self Defense against Sexual Assault.” As a R.A.D. instructor, she holds certifications in women’s basic and advanced physical defense, key chain and aerosol defense, radKIDS, Seniors defense, and R.A.D. for men.

 Darlene is active in the community and has instructed women's self-defense courses including R.A.D. basic physical defense for St. Mary's County Public Schools Adult Education, St. Mary's County Department of Recreation and Parks, and Calvert County Abused Persons Program. Darlene has also conducted seminars for youth community groups coordinated by Gwen Bankins such as Girl Power of Southern Maryland and 100% Male. Currently she teaches a series of free courses for the public sponsored by Lexington Park Baptist Church.

What is the RAD System?

The Rape Aggression Defense System is a program of realistic, self-defense tactics and techniques. The R.A.D. System is a comprehensive course for women that begins with awareness, prevention, risk reduction and avoidance, while progressing on to the basics of hands-on defense training. R.A.D. is not a Martial Arts program. The course begins with awareness, prevention, risk reduction and avoidance, while progressing on to the basics of hands-on defense training and ending with an opportunity to test skills during an optional simulated attack. Certified R.A.D. Instructor who provides students with a workbook/reference manual teaches the course.

The R.A.D. Systems curriculum is taught at over 1,400 colleges and universities, police departments, local transit companies, military bases, women’s centers, rape crisis centers, and independents across the United States and Canada.

Because R.A.D. is an international alliance, any R.A.D. graduate from any class in the U.S. and Canada can attend another instructor’s class for practice, free of charge, for the rest of her life!

Illuminating St. Mary's County's Past: Newtown Survey of 1982

When: Thursday, March 05 - 6:30pm - 7:30pm
Where: Leonardtown Library
Age Group: Adult

Join us as Chris Coogan discusses the "Newtown Survey" of 1982 conducted by Mike Smolek and a St. Mary's College field school.

Thirty years ago, Mike Smolek and a team of field archaeologists collected evidence of habitation in the Newtowne Neck area.  They discovered proof of several thousand years of Native American inhabitants, as well as that of Colonial inhabitants beginning in the late 17th century.  Chris Coogan will present an analysis of what was revealed in Smolek's paper and his recommendations for future actions.  Chris will discuss the methods of Smolek's survey, the processing and analysis of his team's collection and the history of life on the Newtown property.

MARCH: Places and Names: On War, Revolution, and Returning by Elliot Ackerman

From Amazon:

Toward the beginning of Places and Names, Elliot Ackerman sits in a refugee camp in southern Turkey, across the table from a man named Abu Hassar, who fought for al-Qaeda in Iraq and whose connections to the Islamic State are murky. At first, Ackerman pretends to have been a journalist during the Iraq War, but after establishing a rapport with Abu Hassar, he takes a risk by revealing to him that in fact he was a Marine special operation officer. Ackerman then draws the shape of the Euphrates River on a large piece of paper, and his one-time adversary quickly joins him in the game of filling in the map with the names and dates of places where they saw fighting during the war. They had shadowed each other for some time, it turned out, a realization that brought them to a strange kind of intimacy.

The rest of Elliot Ackerman's extraordinary memoir is in a way an answer to the question of why he came to that refugee camp, and what he hoped to find there. By moving back and forth between his recent experiences on the ground as a journalist in Syria and its environs and his deeper past in Iraq and Afghanistan, he creates a work of remarkable atmospheric pressurization. Ackerman shares vivid and powerful stories of his own experiences in combat, culminating in the events of the Second Battle of Fallujah, the most intense urban combat for the Marines since Hue in Vietnam, where Ackerman's actions leading a rifle platoon saw him awarded the Silver Star. He weaves these stories into the latticework of a masterful larger reckoning with contemporary geopolitics through his vantage as a journalist in Istanbul and with the human extremes of both bravery and horror.

At once an intensely personal story about the terrible lure of combat and a brilliant meditation on the larger meaning of the past two decades of strife for America, the region, and the world, Places and Names bids fair to take its place among our greatest books about modern war.

About the Instructor:

Darlene Gentry has over twenty-five years’ experience in instruction and training in martial arts, women’s self-defense, and self-defense education for the public. Darlene teaches self-defense part-time at St. Mary’s College of Maryland where for the past twenty years she has instructed a course that she created called “Self Defense against Sexual Assault.” As a R.A.D. instructor, she holds certifications in women’s basic and advanced physical defense, key chain and aerosol defense, radKIDS, Seniors defense, and R.A.D. for men.

 Darlene is active in the community and has instructed women's self-defense courses including R.A.D. basic physical defense for St. Mary's County Public Schools Adult Education, St. Mary's County Department of Recreation and Parks, and Calvert County Abused Persons Program. Darlene has also conducted seminars for youth community groups coordinated by Gwen Bankins such as Girl Power of Southern Maryland and 100% Male. Currently she teaches a series of free courses for the public sponsored by Lexington Park Baptist Church.

What is the RAD System?

The Rape Aggression Defense System is a program of realistic, self-defense tactics and techniques. The R.A.D. System is a comprehensive course for women that begins with awareness, prevention, risk reduction and avoidance, while progressing on to the basics of hands-on defense training. R.A.D. is not a Martial Arts program. The course begins with awareness, prevention, risk reduction and avoidance, while progressing on to the basics of hands-on defense training and ending with an opportunity to test skills during an optional simulated attack. Certified R.A.D. Instructor who provides students with a workbook/reference manual teaches the course.

The R.A.D. Systems curriculum is taught at over 1,400 colleges and universities, police departments, local transit companies, military bases, women’s centers, rape crisis centers, and independents across the United States and Canada.

Because R.A.D. is an international alliance, any R.A.D. graduate from any class in the U.S. and Canada can attend another instructor’s class for practice, free of charge, for the rest of her life!
