Feud With Planning Commission Continues In a decision signed by three of the five members of the Calvert County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC), Planning Commission Chairman Maurice Lusby and Vice Chair Michael Phipps have been removed from their paid positions.

Here’s how the action was explained in a news release issued by the county on Nov. 4. “The Calvert County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) today conveyed their decision made under the authority to consider personnel action to suspend the Chair and Vice Chair of the Calvert County Planning Commission (CCPC) with removal pending following opinion from the Maryland Attorney General.

The BOCC’s decision to suspend the Chair and Vice Chair, which will ultimately result in removal, but may also result in reinstatement following a future public hearing, follows recent actions that revealed violations of County fiscal and procurement policies and procedures, the Maryland Open Meetings Act, and denial of due process through its handling of Zoning Text Amendment Case 16-04. Any of the three acts constitute sufficient grounds for removal.� “After having spent a significant portion of its budget for the year in the first months of the budget year, the CCPC leadership was directed by the BOCC to cease the commitment of public funds until a financial expenditure plan was finalized and approved. The CCPC willingly disregarded that direction and incurred expenses on numerous occasions following notification to cease.� “On three separate occasions in

2016 CCPC leadership entered into closed session, violating state law that requires a public body to “make a written statement of the reason for closing the meeting and a listing of topics to be discussed� and publish that written statement for the public.� “Finally, the BOCC found that CCPC leadership took steps to deny due process through an administrative veto of Zoning Text Amendment Case 16-04 that directly affects the public interest.� “Based on recent actions by the Planning Commission, the BOCC is working to re-establish procedural order and preserve public funds collected from our hard-working taxpayers,� said Commissioner President Evan Slaughenhoupt. “The suspension of the Chair and Vice Chair took place upon notification on Nov. 3, 2016.

Suspension of the Chair and Vice Chair will not impact operations of the CCPC and the CCPC will continue to operate as scheduled.�

Commissioners Slaughenhoupt, Tom Hejl (R-At Large), and Mike Hart (R-District 1) signed the suspension.

Commissioners Pat Nutter (R-District 2) and Steve Weems (R-At Large) did not sign it.

The BOCC and the Planning Commission have been at odds over

recent issues dealing with the amount of time it takes for requests to be approved, and over their legal representation and opinions that differed from that of the BOCC and County Attorney.

There’s also been controversy at recent public hearings between the BOCC and the Planning Commission. Appointed by the Board of County Commissioners, the Planning Commission serves as a citizen review board on county planning decisions. The Planning Commission is both an advisory and decision-making body.

Planning Commission activities include: Reviews and makes recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners on the Comprehensive Plan, town center master plans and other policy plans necessary to guide county development.

- Makes recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners regarding zoning of land, amendments to the ordinances, the development of public structures and

services, land acquisitions and other development and growth related issues.

Reviews and approves the recommendations for subdivision of land for residential and commercial use and proposed site plans for the future development of individual sites.

Meetings are held at 7:00 p.m. on the third Wednesday of each month (January through November).

December meetings may be held on the second Wednesday of the month.

Special meetings are held when necessary to discuss special planning items.

Meetings are held at Courthouse Square, 205 Main Street, Prince Frederick.

The Planning Commission consists of seven members appointed by the Board of County Commissioners. The term of each member shall be five years. Besides Maurice Lusby and Mike Phipps, other members are Bill Glascock, Carolyn McHugh, Rob Reed, Gregory Kernan, and Richard Holler.

More Senior Housing Coming Newly-appointed Del. Jerry Clark (R-Calvert/St. Mary’s) has announced that the next phase of housing for senior citizens in Lusby will be reality.

On Wed., Nov. 2, the Maryland Board of Public Works approved financing for the Southern Pines II housing project, located in Lusby.

The project will provide 66 multi-family units (56 one bedroom and 11 two bedroom) for low-income senior and disabled individuals in Southern Calvert County. Southern Pines II will be built on the property adjacent to Southern Pines I and the Southern Community Center, which houses a Senior Center and the Southern Calvert Park and Recreation office and facilities. Additionally, this location with its close proximity to the Lusby Town Center, offers activities, dinning, shopping, and services for residents.

The Southern Pines II project has been a full partnership effort between the Board of County Commissioners of Calvert County, the Housing Authority of Calvert County, the Office on Aging, and the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development.

Former Delegate Anthony O’Donnell (R-Calvert/St. Mary’s)

orchestrated the blending of these agencies to create this much needed housing complex.

Last month, Gerald “Jerry�

Clark was sworn in as Delegate, replacing O’Donnell who was recently appointed to the Maryland Public Service Commission.

Delegate Jerry Clark (R-Calvert/St. Mary’s) says that he “plans to support this effort and see it through to completion.�

Clark adds, “This is something I was working on back when I was a (Calvert County) Commissioner and I’m so glad it is finally moving ahead.�

Affordable housing is a pressing need in Southern Calvert.

Currently, there are over 500 individuals on the waitlist for senior and disabled housing units in the area. The development of Southern Pines II will be a public-private partnership between the Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCH) and the Osprey Property Company. The DHCD will provide a $2.5 million loan under the Rental Housing Works Program which finances rental housing projects that will be occupied by individuals with incomes at or below 60% of the area median income.

“Parkway� Designated To Honor Brown Notice new signs on MD Rt. 2 through Sunderland to the Anne Arundel County line? It’s to honor Calvert County civil rights pioneer Harriet Elizabeth Brown, who fought for wage equality for educators back in the Depression era.

More than 100 people attended a ceremony marking the occasion on Nov. 1 at the Mt. Hope Community Center in Sunderland near the spot where the school stood where Brown taught and was a principal. The just over four and a half mile stretch of MD Rt. 2 now has new signs erected by the Maryland Highway Dept. designating it the Harriet Elizabeth Brown Memorial Parkway.

Brown became just the second African American Maryland woman to have a parkway named after her. The first was Harriet Tubman, an Underground Railroad leader that helped black slaves escape to freedom.

One of the new road signs for MD Rt. 2 designated the Harriet Elizabeth Brown Memorial Parkway.

Prince Frederick to commemorate the court victory. The painting will cost about $10,000, and Donations of any amount are being accepted to pay for the portrait through a 501(c) 3 non-profit organization.

Anyone who would like to contribute can send their tax-deductible donations to: Harriet Elizabeth Brown Commemoration Fund c/o Chesapeake Charities, 101 Log Canoe Circle, Suite O, Stevensville, MD 21666.

Many in the crowd at the dedication ceremony were former students of hers, including Malcolm Funn, who said he was known as “little Malcolm� during Miss Brown’s former students. that time. Although her family said she was always known as “Lizzy,� Funn said Harriet Elizabeth Brown died in all the students only knew her as “Miss 2009 at age 101. She was a Calvert Brown.�

County school teacher who pushed for equal pay, regardless or race, in Maryland education. With the help of NAACP attorney Thurgood Marshall, who was 29 at the time, Brown brought suit against the Calvert County Board of Education in 1937. At the time, black teachers were being paid almost of what their white counterparts with similar credentials were paid. Calvert County settled on December 27, 1937 and agreed to equalize pay. The Maryland Teachers Pay Equalization Law was passed, two years later.

The oldest of Miss Brown’s students at the Margaret Dunkle, who headed the ceremony, 91-year-old Helen Jones-Ray of Calvert Commission for Women, was Huntingtown. tasked with heading a commission to determine ways to honor Brown. The first Alphonso Hawkins, another of her recommendation was to name the new students, remembered Miss Brown as a Prince Frederick Community Center on stern educator, who had strict rules and Dares Beach Road for Brown. This was kept the kids in line. “She was the chief, the second recommendation, to name the we were her kids. And she knew it takes a stretch of Rt. 2 where the school stood village.� He added that he was thankful to where Brown taught in her honor. The have known her as a role model, and is third is to commission a painting of proud of her legacy.

Brown to hang in the courthouse in Another student, 91-year-old Helen Jones-Ray of Huntingtown says, “I will never forget that I was a little girl in her reading class – the three-room school. We were reading a story about a duck, and I remembered raising my hand and answering a question correctly when she asked and I was so proud that I knew the answer and she praised me for that!�

To help educate students in the future, Linda Buckley, who works at the Calvert Library in Prince Frederick, is Margaret Dunkle, who chaired the Harriet writing a children’s book about Miss Elizabeth Brown Commemoration Task Force.

A Ford F-150 pick-up truck, southbound on MD-4, struck the passenger side of the Chrysler perpendicularly before ending up in the woods.

The unbelted driver of the Chrysler was declared dead at the scene by fire department personnel and taken to the Medical Examiner’s

office in Baltimore for the autopsy.

She was identified as 55-year-old Sharon Marie Alderson of 158 B Street in Lothian.

The driver of the Ford, Troy Wade Jr. of St. Leonard, received only minor injuries and was taken to Calvert Memorial hospital for treatment.

The preliminary cause of the crash is a failure of the Chrysler to yield right of way when entering a thru highway from a stop sign. There is no indication that alcohol contributed to the crash though speed and prescription drug use are being investigated.

Traffic Safety is handling the investigation and any charges are pending review by the States Attorney.

Local Woman Found Dead at Marina Authorities are seeking more information about a local woman who apparently drowned after falling off her boat.

On Oct. 29, at about 8:30 p.m.

Calvert County Sheriff’s Office units responded to Flag Harbor in reference to a missing person that had possible fallen into the Harbor at St. Leonard.

Cpl. Smith arrived at the Flag Harbor pier and located the body of a deceased female under the pier. Det. Jernigan responded to the scene to assume the investigation.

The victim, identified as Pamela Fell, 45, lived on a large boat parked in the first boat slip on the left on the pier. A friend of Ms. Fell had been attempting to contact the victim since Thursday afternoon.

The friend contacted the harbormaster at Flag Harbor and asked him to check on Ms. Fell. The harbormaster went to Ms. Fell’s boat and observed a purse on the floor of the rear boat deck, the lights were on inside the cabin, the television was on, and only the screen door was closed. He attempted to call out for Ms. Fell and received no response.

The harbormaster told the friend she should probably come to the boat to check further as he did not want to enter the boat. The friend responded to the boat and made the same observations as the harbormaster. Ms. Fell’s cell phone was retrieved from the purse on the rear deck of the boat.

The friend then responded to the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office to report Ms. Fell missing.

The harbormaster checked the surveillance camera footage from the camera on the pier where Ms. Fell’s boat is located. The camera showed Ms. Fell falling off of the dock and no further activity.

A forensic investigator was called to the scene and the body of the deceased was transported to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Baltimore where an autopsy will be performed.

The investigation is ongoing.

Anyone with information on this incident is asked to contact Det. Jernigan of the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office at (410) 535-2800 ext.-2772 or email jernigse@co.cal.md.us.

Events Nov. 15 and 16 will introduce students and visitors at the College of Southern Maryland’s La Plata and Prince Frederick campuses to the sights, sounds and culture of the Caribbean island of Cuba.

CSM’s Global Initiatives Committee, in conjunction with the Student Activities Committee and the Diversity Department, will sponsor “Celebrating Cuba,” an event honoring International Week.

“The relationship between Cuba and the United States has reached a point where the governments have begun to develop a relationship that has the potential to benefit U.S. and Cuban citizens,” said Shaneeza Kazim, a CSM early childhood development program coordinator and member of the Global Initiatives Committee. “In spring 2016, CSM staff and faculty had the opportunity to visit Cuba for an educational trip. CSM’s Travel Study program would like to offer the same travel studies opportunity to students in the future. Sharing information about Cuba during International Week is a way to provide students and the community with an introduction to this culturally diverse country.”

Events Nov. 15 on the La Plata Campus that are open to the public include a sampling of Cuban cuisine and a demonstration of Cuban games for children at 11 a.m. Dr. Eileen Abel, CSM vice president of academic affairs, will share her photographs taken during the college’s travel study trip to Cuba at 11:30 a.m.

“Craving Cuba,” a documentary that focuses on the Cuban-American identity in times of diplomatic change between the U.S. and Cuba, will be shown from 12:15 to 1:15 p.m., followed by a conversation with the documentary’s filmmaker Zuzy Martin Lynch set to begin at 1:15 p.m. The film is ultimately a chronicle of what it means to be a Cuban-American.

Lynch, on a quest of self-discovery, interviewed artists, musicians, journalists, politicians and others to better understand herself, her community and Cuba today. The bilingual film has been accepted to seven film festivals and won an Audience Award for Best Documentary Feature Film at its world premiere.

Lynch is a Cuban-American filmmaker and producer who lives in the San Francisco Bay area. Born and raised in New Jersey and heavily influenced by her grandparents, she attributes her passion and drive to her Cuban roots. Her fascination with bicultural identity inspired her to make “Craving Cuba.”

At 2:30 p.m., Dr. Stephen Johnson

Zuzy Martin Lynch’s film, “Craving Cuba,” will be shown at the College of Southern Maryland, La Plata Campus from 12:15-1:15 p.m. Nov. 15 and at the Prince Frederick Campus from 1-2 p.m.

Nov. 16. Discussions with Lynch will follow the screenings. The CSM Global Initiatives Committee will present an array of events to introduce visitors to the sights, sounds and culture of the Caribbean island of Cuba.

and Ritmo Cache, CSM’s Latin Ensemble, will perform.

Events at the La Plata Campus will be held in the Center for Business and Industry (BI Building, Room 113, 8730 Mitchell Road, La Plata.

Three events the next day, Nov. 16, will be open to the public at the Prince Frederick Campus.

The film, “Craving Cuba,” will be shown from 1 to 2 p.m., followed by a discussion with the filmmaker from 2 to 3 p.m. Trio Latino will perform Cuban music from 3 to 4 p.m. Those events will be held in Building B, Rooms 103-105 at 115 J.W. Williams Road, Prince Frederick.

Earlier in the day Nov. 16, students at the Prince Frederick Campus will be treated to Cuban cuisine by the Student Activities Committee. Travel study displays will be offered by the Distance Learning and Faculty Development Division.

The Global Initiatives Committee is a CSM college-wide committee established to provide leadership and coordination in the college’s efforts to create a global education program that is community based. The committee’s purpose is to oversee the efforts of various units of the college and to encourage the development of international/global initiatives throughout CSM and in the surrounding Southern Maryland community.

Schools Get New Technology Over the course of the past six months, Calvert County Public Schools has made an unprecedented $1.8 million investment in technology infrastructure and hardware. The enhancements to schools and offices, funded out of FY 16 and 17 budgets, include expanded bandwidth, widespread wifi access, upgraded equipment and firewall, additional mobile devices and a new phone system.

Dr. Daniel D. Curry, Superintendent, said, “We are investing in our future. We recognized that improving our infrastructure was essential to lay the groundwork for more student technology in schools and improved communication throughout the system. The kids will notice the new

computers, but much of the investment is behind the scenes.”

The most notable change for students has been the expansion of the wifi network and the subsequent addition of mobile devices that are used during classroom instruction. The number of wifi access points has doubled in the last year, with eleven schools having 100% coverage. The remaining sites currently have partial wifi coverage and will have complete coverage by September 2017.

With a solid infrastructure in place, nearly 4,700 student laptops have been purchased.

Thirteen schools are implementing 1:1 initiatives in one or more grade levels, meaning that students have a laptop that they are able to use throughout the day.

Campuses Become No Smoking Zones The College of Southern Maryland is joining the growing number of institutions across the country that are going smoke-free.

Effective Jan. 1, 2017, CSM will establish a smoke-, tobacco- and vape-free learning and working environment on all of its campuses, college locations and property. The new policy was recommended by CSM President Dr. Brad Gottfried and approved by the CSM Board of Trustees in July.

“We all know that change is not always easy, but this CSM policy change reinforces our commitment to preserving and improving the health and comfort of our students, faculty, staff and guests,” Gottfried said.

The policy applies to all members of the CSM community including students, faculty, staff, volunteers, contractors, visitors and anyone entering onto CSM properties. All events hosted by CSM and outside groups on CSM campuses will be tobacco-free as well. The policy also covers the use of all tobacco products, including cigarettes, cigars, smokeless tobacco, electronic smoking devices and any unregulated nicotine product.

All tobacco and vape-producing products will be prohibited from being used anywhere on any CSM property, including in all buildings and facilities, outdoor areas, athletic fields, parking lots and vehicles traveling on a campus. The policy will be applicable 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

“The commitment to a tobacco-free campus is a responsibility we all share together, whether you’re a tobacco user or not. For those of you who are tobacco users, CSM is committed to providing you the appropriate resources,” Gottfried said.

The college will make smoking-cessation resources and counseling available on all campuses.

Information on available resources will be shared in the coming months at

csmd.edu/breatheclean.

"CSM is here to support those who decide it's a good time to take steps to quit," said Judi Ferrara, the college’s director of Adult and Community Education.

CSM is working closely with the county health departments to offer cessation classes on each of its campuses.

"Why not bring cessation classes to campus and make it a little less challenging for those who are serious about quitting and want to improve their health," Ferrara said.

The classes also will be available through each county health department and are free to the public. Typically classes begin in January, run for eight weeks, and meet for an hour once a week.

CSM will place quit kits around all three campuses for those who are already in the process of quitting. In addition, several other resources are available such as the Maryland Quit Line at 1-800-QUIT-NOW and online at smokingstopshere.com.

To help with the transition, all ash urns will be removed from the college’s gazebos and will be replaced with signs to indicate that CSM is a smoke-, tobaccoand vape-free campus.

CSM joins many colleges, businesses, hospitals and government centers nationwide that prohibit these products on their premises. As of October 2016, there are 1,713 smoke-free campuses, of which more than 83 percent are fully tobacco-free, in the U.S., statistics from the Tobacco Free College Campus Initiative show.

“Our students, faculty, staff, alumni and visitors deserve the healthiest possible place to work and learn. I appreciate your support in making health and well-being and a cleaner environment top priorities for our CSM community,” Gottfried said.

Money Matters YOUR

By L Lyn S Striegel riege riegel This is the time of year when many people start thinking about their taxes and decide to give gifts to charity.

I love to tell the story of a client of mine, aged late 40’s, who was a hard worker and had saved her money. She was unmarried and had no family. When we discussed her estate plan, she admitted she didn’t know anyone to name as a beneficiary. I suggested she was in a position of maximum flexibility since she could decide to leave her money to any charity, organization, college or cause.

We started talking about her education and she indicated how much she appreciated her small Pennsylvania college and what they did to educate her for her career in the sciences. She said that between the support of her parents and that college, she had made her career. The idea of leaving her money to her small college in memory of her parents seemed obvious and pleased her.

Giving to Charities in 2016 My client contacted the college to advise of the gift, worth about $1 million, and to her amazement the college was so pleased she was invited to become a member of the Board of Directors of the college! A great result for her and the college.

Charitable bequests are gifts made to charities that you specify in your will or trust. You can specify a gift of a sum of money, a percentage of your assets or a combination of the two, or a gift of specific property.

And, you do not have to have a million dollars to make a charitable bequest. A bequest of $100 to your favorite charity will be appreciated.

While most charitable bequests are made by individuals who do not have children or grandchildren, often gifts to charity will also be included along with bequests to children.

When you give to charity, you must

10 Thursday, November 10, 2016 Chesapeake Current

think about using the proper language in your will or trust so that it is clear what you intend. If you simply want to make a gift to a charity, use the proper name of the charity with their address and say the gift is for the charity’s “unrestricted use.” If you want to specify that the gift is to be used to fund a building or a scholarship, you must make that specific in the will or trust.

But, be careful about getting too specific. A gift for the purpose of “finding a cure for polio” may have been popular in the 1950’s but may not be meaningful today. If you are determined to be specific about your gift, use language that will allow the charity to re-direct the gift if circumstances have changed, such as “If at any time in the judgment of the trustees of [name of charity] it is impossible or impractical to carry out exactly the designated purpose, they shall determine an alternative purpose closest to the designated purpose.” That way, the charity will not have to forfeit the gift if it cannot be matched exactly to the language in the will or trust.

The best way to match your gift with your intentions is to meet with an officer of the charity and work out the language the charity suggests for making the gift. Believe me, the charity will be delighted to learn you are considering leaving money to them. This is especially true if you intend to set up a scholarship fund in your name or the name of your relatives with an educational institution. Suppose, for example, that you want the educational institution to support college students to study chemistry. You can discuss with the institution exactly how a scholarship fund can be created, including who will qualify for the scholarship, how much they will receive and when, who will determine which students receive the scholarship, what grades must be maintained by the student to continue to receive funds, etc.

Working out the language with the institution or any other charity will not be a problem. Your contribution, even of a small amount, is critical to the support of the charity and charities these days will provide you with many options. Some charities have structured investment plans for you where you will invest a sum of money with the charity and receive annual dividend payments on the money until your death.

You can also leave specific items of property to a charity. That sailboat you own can be given to a charity with instructions

that they are to sell it and retain the proceeds. Jewelry, furniture, paintings, stocks, all can be given directly to the charity with or without instructions that the charity sell the item and keep the proceeds.

Your charitable gift can be direct or can also be a contingent one. If your estate is going to your spouse, but you have no children or grandchildren, and you want the estate to go to a charity if your spouse doesn’t survive you, the language of the will or trust should reflect that. For example: “I give, devise and bequeath the residue of the property, real and personal and wherever situated, to my spouse if he or she survives and, if not, to {Name of charity} for their unrestricted use.”

Even if your estate is going to your spouse and then your child if the spouse doesn’t survive, adding language that a charity should receive your estate if your child doesn’t survive is a good idea. While it may be remote that the charity will ever receive the gift, at least you have directed where you want the money to go and have not left it to the courts to decide.

Not surprisingly, charities have become very creative in offering contributors significant benefits to encourage donations. There are many variations on charitable giving.

One approach is called the charitable remainder trust. Under this approach, you make a gift of a certain amount, let’s say $500,000.00, to a charity and you take an immediate tax deduction for the amount contributed to the charity. The charity invests this amount and pays you the income from the investment for your lifetime.

When you think about how you want to leave your property in your will or trust, consider giving to your favorite college, hospital, community organization or church. Charities depend on contributions, big or small. And, it feels good to leave something to organizations that will benefit others.

Stefan Dobert, 78 Stefan Sebastian Dobert, photographer, documentary filmmaker, and video producer, died peacefully at his home in Fairhaven on Oct. 22, 2016 after a year-long battle with cancer. He was 78 years old.

Just prior to World War II, Stefan's father, Eitel Dobert, wrote a book disparaging the rise of the Hitler regime thus forcing him and his wife, Margarita Dobert to flee their native Germany. In 1938, while temporarily living in Geneva, Switzerland, Stefan was born, then eight months later the young family made its way to the United States. Their first years were spent on a beloved farm just outside of Charlottesville, VA, before finally moving to Bethesda, MD where he spent his formative years.

Stefan was educated at St. John's College in Annapolis, before enlisting in the U.S. Army. It was while stationed in Germany that he found both his passion and career in filming and photography.

After completing his military service, he returned to Germany to work for Screen Gems at Studio Hamburg. There, he met his first wife, Urte Petersen, the mother of his three children.

For ten years Stefan produced and directed over 50 award winning films on a variety of subjects for the U.S. Department of Agriculture and for the Federal Aviation Administration.

In 1976, Stefan started his own film production company, Stefan Dobert Productions, Inc. He became renowned in the industry for his well-researched and scripted nature films, educating and informing the public about numerous environmental issues. Over the years, he and his wife and production partner Claire, traveled the Americas meeting, interviewing, and filming such subjects as the Annual Spring Waterfowl Population Survey, the National Wildlife Refuge Systems, the Federal Duck Stamp Program, all for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. In addition, a myriad of stories were produced for the U.S. Information Agency, the U.S. Office of Personnel Management, and several conservation organizations.

The majority of his clients worked with him for years and often decades. And many of those same clients became dear friends.

Over the years he won over 50 CINE Golden Eagle awards as well as numerous other video and film recognitions.

To this day his films are viewed and used in national parks throughout the U.S. and have become part of our environmental legacy.

He is survived by his wife, Claire Guimond

Dobert; daughter Sabrina, husband Andrew Robinson and their three daughters, Lorelei, Sienna and Tessa of San Diego, CA; son Pascal of Portland, OR; son Alexander, his wife Denitsa and their three children, Katarina, Sebastian and Matthias of Washington, D.C.; and brother Peter and his wife MerrieSue of Portland, OR.

Bryan had a passion for life and the world around him. He enjoyed the simple things; enjoying nature, random acts of kindness, making others smile.
