NAWC-AD Wants To Reassert Its Importance By Guy Leonard Staff Writer
Since the construction of the Patuxent River Naval Air Station more than 70 years ago its core mission has always been to research, develop, test and evaluate new aircraft and related systems for the U.S. Navy but when Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) came to make its home there, some defense industry insiders are worried that the base’s image as a hub for engineering and testing excellence has been overshadowed. It is not difficult to see why. NAVAIR deals primarily in acquistion of weapons and other systems and is a massive $40 billion-a-year entity. The Naval Air Warfare Center-Aircraft Division (NAWC-AD,) which is a subordinate command to NAVAIR, in comparison does $3 billion each year in defense business and is the heir to what used to be the Naval Air Test Center at Patuxent River. The difference though, is that NAWC-AD
is where the real work is done to ensure the future of naval aviation, insiders say. “The perception we’re concerned with is that after the BRAC [base realignment and closure] the Pentagon interfaces more with NAVAIR than with NAWC-AD,” said Bob Wirt, executive director of the Southern Maryland Navy Alliance and former F-18 test pilot. “The branding behind the image of naval aviation is getting lost in the quagmire of bureaucracy.” That branding, as a place where naval aviation is king and the chief attraction for work is the chance to actually touch cutting edge aircraft and technology, is important to make sure the best and brightest engineers and scientists, often just out of college, will come to work here. That continual flow of new talent is needed, Wirt said, not just to ensure NAWC-AD continues to be competitive and relevant but that the country continues to get the best aircraft and weapons it can.
“That, very definitely, is a real challenge,” Wirt said. “Getting them to come here.” Apparently, leadership at NAWC-AD is interested in reasserting its imporatance in the scheme of the naval air station, since Leslie Taylor, the executive director at the command, is set to give a presentation this month to the Patuxent Partnership about the importance the activity still holds. If the brand of NAWC-AD is being obscured by its larger cousin at NAVAIR, then bureacracy and even higher policy is keeping it from reaching its full potential, said County Commissioner Todd Morgan, who for 35 years has worked in the defense contractor industry. He said that many other government agencies realize the engineering and scientific testing infrastructure NAWC-AD has to offer and want to have their project work done here, whether it be drone systems for special operations or border patrol and drug enforcement agencies. The problem, he said, is that policy at the
3
Pentagon level makes it difficult for funding to be committed to work at NAWC-AD for projects other than naval aviation. “This is a goldmine waiting to be opened,” Morgan told The County Times. “I think they could do more. “Our argument is that it’s all taxpayer money at the end of the day.” Wirt said that personnel at NAWC-AD were aware of the limitations they faced. “Pax River works very hard but not always very smart because of policy,” Wirt said. “They’d prefer not to do it that way.” NAWC-AD had to reassert itself, Wirt said, so it could stay at the top of its game both with technology and with those who make that technology possible. “There is not a technology infrastructure like this one anywhere else,” Wirt said. “It’s second to none. You never want to get behind the power curve.” guyleonard@countytimes.net

Support Blossoms For Florists After Building Destroyed By Guy Leonard Staff Writer About a month ago Aut and Connie Fuller had their lives nearly shattered when a motorist crashed into their Floral Expressions business of nearly 30 years, setting the building on fire and wiping out virtually everything they had. But the couple didn’t stop working to keep their business going and with help from the local community they are set to reopen at a new location. It’s a bittersweet moment, Aut said, since despite staying open under the most difficult of circumstances he realizes is will take a long time to even come close to the level of business they were doing. “The insurance won’t cover 30 years of loss,” he told The Calvert County Times, adding, though, that the commu-
nity almost immediately came together to help them reestablish themselves. The crash occurred at about 12:30 a.m. Jan. 6 and it was 14-degrees outside in Owings that morning, Aut said, but that didn’t stop other business owners they knew from coming out to help them. One of the first was Maryland Country Caterers, he said, who provided sandwiches, hot chocolate “and more importantly a place to work,” Aut said. They provided a space in their warehouse for the husband and wife team, along with their staff, to continue filling floral arrangement orders. They had a funeral to provide flowers for the very next day, Aut said, and they couldn’t afford to renege on their orders. Moreover, they had weddings and other engagements for which they had floral orders to fill. Clients offered to re-
lease them from their obligations and go find other providers, Aut said, but they refused and continued working to fill orders. This week they have moved out of the caterer’s warehouse and now have a new storefront on Cox Road. “It’s been amazing,” Aut said of the community’s support. “People have been so generous.” Social media posts about their plight quickly made their way around the country, he said, and other florists soon began sending in money to help them become operational again. “People just sent checks, $50 here, $100 there,” Aut said. Dwayne Crawford, owner of Family Auto Care, has been central to helping the Floral Expressions crew, Aut said. Crawford said he was one of the first
out on the scene of the crash “to give them hugs” of support. “The Fullers have paid it forward in our community for the past 30 years,” Crawford said. “We wanted to let them know they were not alone.” Crawford organized an online auction in which 56 businesses each donated an item for bidding; the end result of the auction was $6,400 raised to help out the Fullers, he said. For now the Fullers are busy trying to rebuild their business, but they are confident that they will succeed with the help of their many friends. “We’re still here,” Aut said. “We’re not giving up.” guyleonard@countytimes.net

Commissioner’s Corner SELLING A CAR? Zoning, Permitting, LOOKING FOR and Code Enforcement A BABYSITTER? The “Inspections and Permits” part of Calvert County government is one of the areas which capture the attention of many citizens and business leaders. From curiosity as to why certain land use rules are in effect, so much of what this organization does is to implement Maryland State Land Use Laws. The other area the organization addresses are local ordinances developed over many years as a means to keep Calvert County as rural as possible. The current Board of County Commissioners is focusing more upon making the town centers more business friendly to support economic development to complement the desire of keeping the whole of the county as rural as possible. This part of our Community Planning and Building organization is more so than the undeserved reputation of always saying NO to any idea or question. Over several years, a “customer first” initiative assisted improving the philosophy of the organization into one that takes the approach of “how can we help you achieve what you want.” This organization performs a role of assisting or preparing referrals for appeals of zoning ordinance. If a citizen takes issue with the current zoning or county interpretation, there is a process to submit to the Board of Appeals to seek remedy. The staff is known to suggest individuals take this approach; many do, while some simply instead decide to publically fight or cast aspersions upon this organization. Because of the complexity of zoning laws, the county staff needs and has advanced professional experience in understanding and interpreting zoning ordinance. At times, it becomes apparent that existing zoning ordinances caused for unintended consequences, and changes are needed; at times stemming from issues learned through
the Board of Appeals process. Sometimes, a County Commissioner recognizes a zoning issue exists and directs the staff to find a means to improve the appropriate ordinance through a text amendment. The staff manages the text amendment process from draft through public hearing and adoption. They prepare Text Amendments for the Board of County Commissioners as well as county citizens who propose them. Any citizen can propose changes to the zoning ordinance. A detailed and time consuming process is in place working with staff’s advanced professional experience in understanding and interpreting zoning ordinance. One goal sought is to understand and minimize unintended legal consequences of these text amendments. Our first in the nation Agricultural Preservation and Transferrable Development Rights Programs are managed by this organization. Recently, changes were made to assist the vitality of these programs having successfully coordinated a win-win between the agriculture and development communities. Our staff spends much time providing customer support by explaining and verifying zoning, home occupation requirements, parking regulations, setbacks, and other zoning and building requirements. They review Permits for Building, Grading, Cell Tower, Home Occupation, Sign, Commercial use, Business License.. Additionally, to Promote Calvert’s Cultural Heritage and Administer Calvert County Historic District Program, our staff reviews projects for Impact on Historic and Archaeological Sites. Evan K.

4th Annual Calvert County Restaurant Week By Crista Dockray Staff Writer
Calvert County restaurants are gearing up for the 4th Annual Restaurant Week. This year, 26 restaurants are participating in this culinary event. From Feb. 19 through 28 restaurants will put forward a fixed menu that offers either on-menu or off-menu items. These menus have discounted or set prices for their meals and some restaurants will offer these promotions for both lunch and dinner. For example, one of the restaurants Salsarita’s Fresh Cantina who have been participating in Restaurant Week since its beginning, will be offering a createyour-own quesorito with chips and salsa for just $10. A new restaurant to the area, Brick Wood Fired Bistro, will be offering offmenu items to their customers. Their menu came together after a discussion with the owner and his chefs about what they would like to do, what they haven’t done before, and what would be right for the area. “We wanted to do something offmenu, we didn’t want customers that have dined here before to come in during Restaurant Week and see the status quo,” said one of the three owners Jason Nagers. “We created our menu based on our concept, which is wood-fired cuisine…we do a majority of our cooking in the ovens in one way or another.” They also are very conscious of the local resources available. Brick Wood Fired Bistro uses a lot of local beer, meats, cheeses, and ice cream. “Whatever we can get our hands on,” said Nagers. According Nagers, one of the lunch menu items, a burger, plays off of the classic peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Their PB&J Burger will feature a habanero, strawberry jelly, peanut butter, an in-house ground burger with bacon,
all on a homemade bun. The burger is served with fries, chips, or a side salad and comes with a drink. Since they opened just four months ago on Sept. 14, 2015, this will be their first year participating in Restaurant Week and they are excited to share their culinary expertise with Southern Maryland. Calvert County’s Department of Economic Development began Restaurant Week as a way to boost business for restaurants during their slow season. Typically after the holidays, restaurants see fewer customers than normal as people tend not to eat out, especially when the weather isn’t cooperative. Restaurant Week, which has been done in many cities already, was a good way to get people out and appreciating Calvert’s culinary specialties. “Calvert is very diverse,” said Mark Volland the Marketing Communications Specialist from the Department of Economic Development. “It has everything from the chain restaurants to the local mom and pop restaurants. It made sense to highlight county restaurants to show exactly what’s offered here. There is quite a bit, even some that people may not know about.” Their first year, 2013, had 35 restaurants, and their highest was last year with a total of 39 restaurants participating. “It’s been popular,” said Volland, saying that high participation and positive feedback from both patrons and restaurants is why it continues. The Department of Economic Development also wanted to bring tourism to the county and show people within the region what Calvert, the smallest county in Maryland, has to offer. “While they are in Calvert County going to a restaurant, they are also seeing other things that they want to come back and explore,” said Volland. “So it’s really a part of broader tourism
program.” Volland said, according to the surveys, they have already seen patrons from outside of the county. And its success has been recognized. Next week, on Feb. 9, Restaurant Week will be rewarded with a proclamation given by the County Commissioners. Calvert will also hold a contest for the customers that participate in Restaurant Week. If they save their receipt, they can go online and fill out a survey, which makes them eligible for a prize. From previous years, prizes included gifts cards to restaurants and baskets with a collection of things from Calvert County, like gift cards to local hotels and bottles of wine from local wineries. The winners of the contest will be announced on March 22 at the Calvert County Board of Commissioners meeting. “We’re proud of Restaurant Week and we hope that people will come out again this year,” said Volland. To find out more information on Restaurant Week, visit the website at www.choose c a lve r t .c o m / r e s t a u rantweek. The website includes the comment form, the interactive map that gives an overview of all the Restaurant Week sites with descriptions, a FAQ section, and a list of the participating restaurants. The list includes the phone numbers for reservations, links to the restaurants’ websites, and the full menus they created for the week.

Maryland Comptroller Visits CSM’s La Plata Campus Franchot Encourages Nursing Students on Future Employment During his visit to Charles County Feb. 1, Maryland Comptroller Peter Franchot toured the College of Southern Maryland and was briefed on college programs by CSM President Dr. Brad Gottfried, CSM Trustee Chair Dorothea Smith, Calvert Commissioner Steve Weems and Charles County Registrar of Wills Loraine Hennessy. During the briefing on CSM’s new Regional Campus which will house the Center for Trades and Energy Training (CTET), Franchot said, “The private sector is desperate for trained people. The economics is changing—these blue collar jobs used to be looked down on in favor of a college education. These are good jobs, high paying jobs.” CTET will be moving from an 18,000 squarefoot leased facility in Waldorf to a 30,000 square-foot facility in Hughesville. Future plans for the Regional Campus include a Health Sciences facility accessible to students from throughout Southern Maryland. “Our goal is to centralize programs, such as health sciences, that would be too expensive to replicate on each campus,” said Gottfried. Franchot also visited the classroom of Professor Kathleen Parsons where he told third-semester nursing students that the economy is changing and that future growth in jobs will be in healthcare. For a gallery of photos, visit www.csmphoto.zenfolio. com/16franchotvisit. For information on CSM, visit www.csmd.edu. Press Release

We shouldn’t be looking in the rear view mirror,” said Franchot.
Maryland Comptroller Peter Franchot stopped by Professor Kathleen Parsons’ NUR-2115 Nursing Care of Adults to visit with students while on campus Feb. 1. Franchot told third- semester nursing students that the economy is changing and that the growth in jobs will be in healthcare. He also presented Parsons with a commemorative medallion for making a difference.

By Ronald N. Guy Jr. Contributing Writer Cam Newton is a direct young man. The greater Charlotte area’s euphoria still simmered after the Panthers’ 49-15 destruction of the Cardinals in the NFC Championship Game when Newton dropped this nugget at a press conference: “I said it since day one, I’m an AfricanAmerican quarterback. That may scare a lot of people because they haven’t seen nothing that they can compare me to.” Wow. So much for setting an even pace and avoiding controversy during the obsessive two-week media buildup to the Super Bowl. Newton looked the world in the eye – critics and supporters alike – and introduced the elephant in the room. I love it. Twenty-eight years ago, Doug Williams became the first AfricanAmerican quarterback to start and win a Super Bowl. As significant as Williams’s accomplishment was, it proved not to be revolutionary: It took 26 years for Russell Wilson to finally match Williams’s feat. The NFL, the quarterback position and race is and will remain an issue. I don’t know NFL player demographics, but my eyes tell me that a majority are African-American, yet only five of 32 teams had an African-American as its primary starting quarterback. That’s not necessarily an NFL issue – a quarterback is trained long before his NFL eligibility – but it’s a curious (is that the right word?) situation the league advertises, via its massive stage, every year. Newton’s race isn’t the issue it once was, but it still matters. Most people don’t care; but some, sadly, still do. Incomprehensible, racebased hate lingers. Despicable people like Dylann Roof walk among us. And, despite progress, a pathetic segment of the population still has an issue with Newton just because his skin is a different hue. So I’m glad Newton threw some verbal haymakers. I’ve been drawn to him all season; bluntly acknowledging the truth – that he navigated an additional level of complexity in his career - just adds to his appeal and what prompted me to write this piece in the first place: Newton’s amazing growth as a man, leader and quarterback. The pre-2015 version of Newton
was often and fairly criticized for having terrible body language. Adversity caused Newton to visibly mope, place a towel over his head or sit alone on the bench. Situations could get the better of him and he felt entitled to disconnect from the moment. It wasn’t a good look, especially from the franchise quarterback, the supposed leader of the team. This season, Newton’s been different: He’s taught a nation to “Dab,” he’s handing footballs to kids after touchdowns and has an infectious, perma-smile affixed to his face. Newton set a positive tone early in the season, backed it up with his play and got his teammates to buyin. His self-confidence and comfort in his own skin is apparent; the joy he exudes is refreshing. This is a young man who is obviously aware of his detractors, but he has grown impervious to the negativity. Newton’s transformed non-verbal communications have resulted in a 17-1 record, a birth in the Super Bowl and a likely MVP award for the once sulking quarterback. I’m not a huge believer in mystical forces but Newton’s positive energy has had a palatable impact on the team. You can feel Carolina’s togetherness. They’re a pro football team having college-like fun. While watching Newton, two local athletes come to mind: Stephen Strasburg and Bradley Beal. Strasburg and Beal, despite being young, wealthy and insanely talented, are both oddly inclined toward melancholy. Nagging injuries and pouty looks are common; smiles are not. It’s hard to tell if they are playing a sport or forcing down vegetables. The vibe I get from them is they expect something to go wrong, as if they have some fatal attraction to darkness and fear the light. Not everyone’s a cheerleader, but attitude is a controllable component of success. As Stephen Covey once said, “Sometimes the most proactive thing we can do is to just genuinely smile.” Is Newton a “7-Habits” junkie? Probably not, but he’s living Covey’s point and the results are inarguable. Strasburg and Beal should take notice. I suppose we all should. Group Dab anyone? Send comments to RonaldGuyJr@ gmail.com

Art Exhibit Opening: Artists in Action Workshop Annmarie Sculpture Garden & Arts Center - 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. A few months each year, Annmarie’s spectacular Main Gallery is transformed from exhibition space into artist studios, allowing visitors the opportunity to appreciate the artistic process as well as the product. Annmarie seeks artists working in any media to submit proposals to set up a working studio space in the Main Gallery for 1-2 week periods. These studios utilize the artist’s own supplies and equipment. Artists work in their studios demonstrating their processes and techniques to curious visitors. Artists are also afforded space to hang artwork for sale within the gallery for the duration of their studio time. It is our goal to expose visitors to the working process of artists—from concept to finished product. As such, this show is ideal for artists working on a large project or series. Artists must be willing to speak with visitors informally about their work and their process. Overnight accommodations for out-of-town artists are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Through this exhibition, artists gain exposure, sell artwork, and work in a free studio space in a beautiful setting. This is a nice occasion for a serene retreat to immerse yourself in your artwork. Future group or solo show opportunities may also be awarded. Dates: Feb. 7-13 and 15-21. CO. 7 Alarmers Friday Night Bingo St. Leonard Volunteer Fire & Rescue (200 Calvert Beach Rd.)
