Detonation Could Be Heard Across Patuxent River NAS Patuxent River will conduct a single controlled detonation near the water by Fishing Point (just to the north of East Basin) between 12 p.m. and 1 p.m. Feb. 14, 2018. Cedar Point Road in the vicinity of Bronson Road will be secured during this time and personnel on base will need to use alternate routes as necessary. Fire, EMS, Security, and EOD personnel will be on scene to ensure the area is safe and secure before conducting any detonations. There is no threat to the public of St. Mary’s or Calvert Counties, but the detonation may be heard in the area and across the river on Solomons. NAS Patuxent River will send an update when the event has concluded. —Patrick Gordon, Pax River NAS PIO

North Beach Gets Good Fiscal Report By Guy Leonard Staff Writer The final report for the Town of North Beach’s 2017 finances were good and show that the town’s financial picture is improving. The town council received the report at their Feb. 8 meeting. The latest numbers show that town’s assets exceeded its liabilities by a total of $17.9 million, which is an increase by about one-half-million dollars in town coffers compared to the previous year. “The town is ascendant, I believe,” said Mayor Mark Frazer on the financial report and growth projects as a whole aimed at improving the town. Though the town’s assets overall have improved there were decreases in revenues in some places from 2016 to 2017.
The latest audit stated that the town’s total revenues came in at $5.1 million including property taxes in 2016, but that fell to $4.6 million for 2017. The town’s expenses also increased for the same period of time, the audit showed. Expenditures for government came in at $3.7 million in 2016 but they rose again to $4.1 million in 2017. Council Member Randy Hummel said the town’s recent changes in revenues may be due in part due to a heavy increase in grant money the town received to improve a berm at 9th Street and Atlantic Avenue designed to hold back flooding for 2016. “We’re basically operating in the black,” Hummel said. “We’re not getting into the reserves.” guyleonard@countytimes.net

USDA Choice Beef - Cut To Order By Guy Leonard Staff Writer Law enforcement and community organizations fighting the opioid epidemic in Calvert are hoping that counting the cost in overdoses and unveiling it to the public regularly will give them a weapon in their war on drug abuse. New signs posted along main county roads show the number of overdoses each month and how many are fatal; it’s a partnership between the sheriff’s office, the Calvert Alliance Against Substance Abuse (CAASA) and other community groups. “We’re out in the community but we can’t reach everyone,” said Candace D’Agostino, head of CAASA. “This is to help raise awareness of the problem but that we’re also having a hard time controlling the situation.” The latest numbers posted on the signs in Prince Frederick show there have been nine overdoses so far in February with no fatalities. In January there was one overdose death, said Sheriff Mike Evans, which statistically was an improvement over prior months in 2017. But it was still one too many, he said.
Evans said the opioid informational signs were much like signs posting drunken driving arrests and fatal accidents. “I think we have to think of any possible thing to get people’s attention to save lives,” Evans said. “Any little thing we can do makes sense.” The incidents of drug overdoses in Calvert remained a serious problem despite increased police patrols and drug arrests. “It’s still way too high,” Evans said. Calvert deputies who arrive on the scene of an overdose and are able to reverse it through the use of the drug Narcan, immediately take the victim to the hospital for an emergency medical evaluation. This practice gets the addict into another avenue for treatment. The signs also have the phone number of a crisis hotline for addicts attended around the clock. The choices for addicts were stark, Evans said. “Either get help or go to jail or you kill yourself [from an overdose,]” Evans said. guyleonard@countytimes.net

Hogan Administration Announces New “Maryland OneStop” Licensing Portal
Following through on Governor Larry Hoga n’s promise to improve access to government services for all Marylanders, the Maryland Department of Information Technology (DoIT) today unveiled a new statewide licensing portal. Known as Maryland OneStop and available at onestop.md.gov, the portal provides a single point of entry for citizens to access all offices of state government that issue licenses or permits, from hunting licenses and fishing permits to drivers’ licenses and commercial permits. “Our administration is fully committed to doing everything we can to make state government more efficient and easier to interact with – and with today’s launch of Maryland OneStop, that is exactly what we are doing,” said Governor Hogan. “This exciting and innovative new portal will make the licensing and permitting process more customer-friendly for Marylanders than ever before.” Maryland OneStop’s modern, intuitive search engine and browsing options quickly and accurately assess a customer’s needs to connect them with the right resources in the shortest amount of time. The portal’s customer-friendly search results format allows users to quickly view Approval Time, Validation Period, Application Cost, and Average Completion Time in a single snapshot for each license or permit. “At DoIT, we take Governor Hogan’s commitment to making sure that Maryland is open for business to heart
daily. The new Maryland OneStop Licensing Portal is proof of our commitment to bring additional convenience and options to citizens accessing state services by providing digital tools that make interaction simpler and easier for everyone,” said Acting DoIT Secretary Michael Leahy. The portal’s citizen-centric design provides various options for completing an application for a license or permit, depending on the source. These may include: • Complete an application online • Submit an application via smartphone • Download an application to fill out and send via mail Additionally, users are provided with a “Documentation Checklist” and an “Action Items” function for maintaining their license or permit to include renewal reminders. What was once a painstaking process for many citizens and business owners is now easily managed due to the checklists provided by the portal. Maryland OneStop is currently in beta mode. As DoIT continues to update and improve the site, all licenses and permit applications will be available in mobile form. Providing citizens with access via their personal mobile devices further improves the efficiency of the licensing process, and provides Marylanders with direct access to the services they need in the shortest amount of time. Users will be able to easily provide feedback during the beta testing process by clicking on the “Tell us what you think?” button on onestop.md.gov. —Office of the Governor

Land Preservation and Recreation Survey Now Open The Maryland Department of Natural Resources invites residents and nonresidents to share their thoughts on land acquisition, conservation and recreation in the state by completing the Maryland Land Preservation and Recreation Plan Survey. Individuals who complete the 3-5 minute online survey will be entered into a random drawing to win Maryland Park Service day-use passes. The survey, which includes questions on outdoor activities, amenities and services like camping, fishing and hunting, helps guide the department’s decisionmaking, investments and programming. Results will be incorporated into the Land Preservation and Recreation Plan, which is required to receive federal funding from the National Park Service’s Land and Water Conservation Fund. “Taking the pulse of our customers, guests and users is essential to our strategic development, planning and pri-
oritization goals and needs,” Maryland Natural Resources Secretary Mark Belton said. “Are we meeting our customers’ expectations by providing them exceptional outdoor recreation opportunities? Are we shortchanging an evolving customer base or meeting their need? Are we spending too much on trail construction and maintenance over historical interpretation and programming? These are but a few of the questions we need your help in answering.” The survey – a combination of multiple choice and open-ended questions – seeks to clarify how people access and utilize public lands, including state forests, parks and wildlife management areas, and if the department is meeting demands and needs. In addition to the online survey, the department has partnered with a contractor to reach potential respondents by telephone. —Maryland DNR
Calvert County Animal Control Division to Move to Barstow Location
The Calvert County Department of Public Safety Animal Control Division will move operations from the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office into the Department of Public Safety building at 315 Stafford Road in Barstow Friday, Feb. 16. The move is part of Calvert County Government’s reorganization which began last July. In the restructure, the Animal Control Division was moved from the Sheriff’s Office to the Department of Public Safety to better align animal services with the county’s new Linda L. Kelley Animal Shelter expected to open in Fall 2018. The new animal shelter also reports to the Department of Public Safety. “The Animal Control Division remains dedicated to ensuring the safety and protection of animals,” said Chief Animal Control Officer Craig Dichter. “We are confident the move will be a seamless one and operations will continue as normal.” The Sheriff’s Office will no longer issue pet licenses; citizens can purchase licenses from the Department of Public Safety. The mission of the Calvert County Department of Public Safety Animal Control Division is to fairly and humanely enforce the animal control laws, regulations and ordinances
as set forth by the state of Maryland and the Calvert County Board of County Commissioners. Animal Control officers work within our community to respond to calls for service regarding domestic animals and wildlife suspected of being rabid. The division educates the community about animal welfare and safety, addresses violations of state law and county ordinances, and patrols assigned areas looking for problem or nuisance animals running at large. For more information about the Calvert County Animal Control Division, please call 410-535-1600, ext. 2526, between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. or call the Calvert Emergency Communications at 410-535-3491 for after-hours emergencies.

Speed Camera Moves to Huntingtown
During the week of February 05, 2018, the Calvert County Automated Speed Enforcement Unit will be moving the speed enforcement camera from Mutual Elementary School on Ball Road to Huntingtown Elementary School on Huntingtown Road.

As a courtesy, the locations of the cameras are also posted on the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office website and Facebook page. • Cameras are active throughout the year, Monday through Friday, from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. This does not alter any
posted speed reduction times. • Citations are issued to the registered owner of the vehicle, and only if the speed was 12 mph or more over the posted speed limit. The camera will adjust for the reduced speed times. • A school zone speed camera violation is a $40 fine with no points. If you have any questions or concerns about the Calvert County Safety for Students program, please contact Deputy Julia Murphy at 410-535-1600 ext. 2540, or email at Julia.Murphy@calvertcountymd.gov. —Calvert County Sheriff’s Office

Governor Larry Hogan Signs Rape Survivor Family Protection Act
Governor Larry Hogan joined Senate President Thomas V. “Mike” Miller and Speaker of the House Mike Busch Tuesday to sign the Rape Survivor Family Protection Act into law. This new law, passed with the governor’s vocal support after nearly a decade of efforts by advocates, will enable rape victims who conceive a child to terminate the parental rights of their rapist. At the outset of the 2018 session of the Maryland General Assembly, the presiding officers stated their support for this legislation, while the governor called on legislators to act expeditiously and pledged to sign it the moment it reached his desk. “Our administration made a commitment to work with legislative leaders to pass this important and long overdue legislation, and today, I am proud to sign this bill into law,” said Governor Hogan. “No rapist should be allowed to maintain their rights as a parent, and no victim should ever be forced to interact with their attacker. The Rape Survivor Family Protection Act will ensure just that.” Earlier this year, Governor Hogan announced several proposals to further protect, support, and empower victims of crime in Maryland, and the governor today urged the Maryland General Assembly to act on those bills, which are currently going through the legislative process. The Felony Human Trafficking Act of 2018 classifies felony human trafficking as a violent crime, ensuring that offenders will be held truly accountable. The Repeat Sexual Predator Prevention Act
of 2018 mirrors legislation that was proposed by the governor during the 2017 session and has received bipartisan support for nearly a decade. The bill allows courts to admit evidence of a criminal defendant’s prior history of sexual crimes or abuse if he or she is prosecuted for subsequent sexual offenses. In addition, the Hogan administration has proposed legislation to strengthen the Maryland “Safe-at-Home” Address Confidentiality Program to better enable victims of domestic violence to safely purchase a home without fear of their abuser finding their address. Governor Hogan also announced a proposal to create a new victim services unit focused on restitution by centralizing data collection across state agencies that will act as a one-stop shop for victim notification and information regarding restitution. “We look forward to working with the legislature in a bipartisan manner to pass our common sense victims’ right proposals in order to make Maryland safer for all of our citizens,” said the governor. Since taking office, the Hogan administration has demonstrated its commitment to empowering and supporting victims of crime including convening the first-ever governor’s statewide victim services conferences, awarding over $110 million in federal and state funds to help victims and organizations, and serving over 181,000 victims in Maryland in the past year alone. —Office of the Governor
Calvert Deputies Investigating String of Robberies By Guy Leonard Staff Writer
Huntingtown car fire
Maryland State Fire Marshals are investigating a fire that destroyed a car at the intersection of Bowie Shop and Solomon’s Island Road in Huntingtown on Sunday at about 1:35 a.m. The 2007 GMC Acadia was found on fire by a passing motorist; it took six firefighters from the Huntingtown Volunteer Fire Department 10 minutes to extinguish. There were no injuries reported; damage to the vehicle was estimated at $7,000. Fire marshals say unknown suspects intentionally ignited flammable materials inside the vehicle. Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call the Southern Regional Office at 443-550-6831. —Maryland State Fire Marshals
Three robberies over a six day period have Calvert County sheriff’s investigators looking for suspects. The first two robberies, which took place Feb. 6 and Feb. 7 are believed to be related, police said. The first incident took place at the Shell Gas Station in Prince Frederick at about 9:30 p.m. where the suspect had already fled the scene despite a rapid response from police units. The armed robber was described as a black male wearing all black clothing. The second robbery was committed the next day at about 6 p.m. at the Subway sandwich shop in Dunkirk; the suspect had already fled by the time the police arrived as well. The suspect was described as a black male being perhaps 20-to-25 years old and standing between 5-feet, 8-inches to 5-feet, 10-inches tall. The latest incident was a strong-arm

Cancer Prevention, Early Detection
February is National Cancer Prevention Month According to the American Cancer Society, the death rate from cancer in the U.S. has declined steadily over the past two decades--falling 25 percent between 1991 and 2014. Prevention efforts, new screening methods that facilitate early detection of cancer and advancements in treatment have all contributed to the gains realized. In Calvert County, unfortunately, the news isn’t quite as favorable. The 2017 Calvert County Community Health Needs Assessment indicates that, compared to the country as a whole and other counties in Maryland, Calvert has both a higher incidence and higher death rate for cancers of the breast, prostate and lung. These three cancer types account for 60 percent of all cancer deaths in Calvert; colorectal cancer and skin cancer round out the top five for the county. “Although we still don’t know exactly what causes cancer in one person and not another person [with the same risk factors], we do know that the risk of developing many types of cancer can be lowered through primary prevention strategies,” said Dr. Ken Abbott, board-certified medical oncologist and chairman of the CalvertHealth Cancer Committee. “By not smoking, maintaining a healthy weight, using alcohol in moderation, avoiding known cancer-causing agents and protecting yourself from ultraviolet radiation for example, you can lower your cancer risk.” Dr. Arati Patel, medical oncologist and director of the breast and thoracic cancer programs at CalvertHealth added, “As physicians, we think about helping patients prevent cancer by modifying the behaviors that lead to known risk factors, detecting cancer at its earliest stages by making sure patients engage in appropriate and evidence-based cancer screening, and treating cancer using the latest tools and techniques based on constantly evolving science and national treatment guidelines.” “Not every risk factor for cancer is within an individual’s control,” said Dr. Patel, “but we do know that healthy eating habits, regular physi-
cal activity, quitting smoking, limiting alcohol use, protecting your skin and maintaining good sleep habits will make you feel better while also decreasing your overall lifetime risk of developing many diseases including cancer.” Timely Screening Vital to Early Detection In addition to lowering cancer risk through lifestyle changes, regular screenings can play an important role in cancer outcomes by helping detect several types of cancer at earlier stages when it is usually more easily treated. “One of the first questions from primary care providers will be about your family’s medical history. This crucial information can help guide decisions on the need for genetic testing or a more individualized screening plan,” said Sandra Corbin, nurse practitioner and genetic counselor at CalvertHealth. While every person is unique, CalvertHealth’s oncology team generally recommends following the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines for cancer screening. For guidelines, visit https://www.calverthealthmedicine. org/CancerScreeningGuidelines. February is National Cancer Prevention Month and individuals with the help of their doctor can assess their cancer risk and develop a plan for prevention and early detection. Testing services available locally at CalvertHealth locations throughout the county include: colonoscopy for the prevention and early detection of colon cancer; 3-D mammography, the latest technology for the early detection of breast cancer; and low-dose CT screening for those at high risk for lung cancer. There is also a genetic counseling program, a high-risk breast clinic and a high-risk lung clinic available. CalvertHealth’s Mobile Health Center also provides assessment and some screening services to underserved areas in the community.

Truitt Lab Awarded for Sustainability
The University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science’s R.V. Truitt Laboratory Building has been awarded the 2017 U.S. Green Building Council’s Maryland Community Leader Award for Higher Education in recognition of overall commitment to sustainability and efficiency. The cutting-edge marine biology research building, located on the Chesapeake Biological Laboratory campus in Solomons, opened in the fall of 2016. It was dedicated to Dr. Reginald V. Truitt, one of Maryland’s forefathers of conservation and founder of the Chesapeake Biological Laboratory, the oldest publicly supported marine laboratory on the East Coast. The building was lauded as example of how a highly technical scientific building can be constructed utilizing methods with low environmental impacts and longterm occupant comfort, without compromising scientific integrity. “As the premier institution conducting work on the environment in the State, it is critical that the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science lead the way both in our research and in our operations,” said Tom Miller, director of the UMCES’ Chesapeake Biological Laboratory. “It was a real challenge to construct a sophisticated research lab that meets the needs of the scientists while being as energy efficient as possible. This award reflects dedication from all involved in the planning, design, and construction. Our commitment to our research mission requires us to go the extra step.” The 14,000-square-foot, two-story, LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) silver-certified building boasts five state-of-the-art research labs and one-of-a-kind ex-
perimental facilities, including a running seawater system and controlled environmental chambers. For example, precise temperature controls allow scientists to conduct experiments with Arctic clams in freezing water or coral reef fish in balmy conditions, and lights can be programmed to mimic a slow sunrise or setting sun to recreate natural conditions in the lab. “As a research institution committed to understanding and the protecting the environment, we must be a leader in efforts to manage our campuses in ways that reduce energy consumption and increase sustainability,” said Peter Goodwin, president of the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science. “The R.V. Truitt Laboratory at the Chesapeake Biological Laboratory is an example of how we make progress in being stewards of the environment while working to understanding it.” The University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science is a signatory to the American College & University Presidents’ Climate Commitment (Second Nature) and has launched several programs aimed at reducing our environmental footprint, including setting goals for reducing Green House Gas (GHG) emissions at each of our laboratories, upgrading aging infrastructure to newer, more energyefficient alternatives, and building all new campus buildings to at least the U.S. Green Building Council›s LEED Silver standard or equivalent.

Can You Relate? Nonprofit Conference Focuses on Fostering Relationships
Networking and partnerships — all nonprofits rely on these cooperative relationships to fulfill their mission. Fostering those critical relationships will be the focus of the College of Southern Maryland’s Eighth Annual Nonprofit Institute Conference from 8 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Feb. 22 at CSM’s La Plata Campus, Center for Business and Industry (BI Building). “Our annual conference is an opportunity to step back from day-to-day operations and rethink how we approach our mission and pick up some new ideas,” said CSM Interim Vice President and Dean of CSM Prince Frederick and Director of Strategic Partnerships Barbara Ives. “And this year’s theme of fostering relationships is particularly compelling, being applicable to every level of a nonprofit organization.” The upcoming conference is designed to benefit nonprofit board members, chief executives, staff, sponsors, volunteers, community and business leaders, young professionals and consultants committed to strengthening
nonprofit organizations and the communities they serve. Following check-in, a continental breakfast and time for networking, conference participants will have the opportunity to select relationship-related workshops throughout five topic areas: leadership, strategic planning, management, marketing and fundraising during three 50-minute breakout sessions. Examples include a workshop on “Relationships with Elected Officials” to be presented by President and CEO of Calvert County Chamber of Commerce Bob Carpenter; “It’s More than Just Posting: How to Create an Effective Social Media Plan” to be presented by Talisha Dunn-Square, a lecturer with Bowie State University’s Depart- Two participants at last year’s annual conference, hosted by the ment of Communications and an award-winning Nonprofit Institute at the College of Southern Maryland, check out the public relations, journalism and marketing profes- workshop options.

Farmer’s and Agriculture Award A successful at the Maryland Department of business owner, Agriculture Buy Local Cookout in professional chef 2011. and restauranteur, Sewell brings a wealth of experience and entrepreneurship to the Southern Maryland Meats program. “With my long history of supporting local agriculture, marketing my own business and promoting the many advantages of Buying Local, I know better
than most, the challenges facing local agricultural and food businesses,” commented Sewell. “To succeed in a truly global marketplace promoting local sourcing takes a multidimensional and relational approach to attract, service and maintain a customer base connecting them with their surrounding land, agriculture and livestock community.” Sewell is the former owner of A Cooks Café, a leader in Annapolis’s “Buy Local” movement for 15 years. The Café was one of the first restaurants in the area to source locally raised products while developing a conduit for customers to buy local produce and meats through the restaurant’s CSA (Consumer Supported Agriculture) and Market Basket program. Sewell has developed long-standing relationships with the region’s farmers, working cooperatively with SMADC staff over the years to promote local farms through SMADC’s regional “So. Maryland, So Good” and statewide “Buy Local Challenge” marketing programs. “Craig is a very high integrity guy who has spent decades promoting local food and will be a great addition to the SMADC team,” commented Doug Hill, owner of Cabin Creek Heritage Farm in Prince George’s County and a participant livestock producer of the Southern Maryland Meats program. Former Governor O’Malley also recognized Sewell’s contributions to Maryland’s farms by
awarding him The Smart Green and Growing Governor’s Excellence in Supporting Maryland Farmer’s and Agriculture Award at the Maryland Department of Agriculture Buy Local Cookout in 2011. A Harvard graduate with a BA in economics, Sewell’s professional career has focused on his passion for local agriculture and the sustainability of local business. He was the founding president of the Annapolis Sustainable Business Alliance (a group of independent, local businesses with a mission to supporting locally owned businesses) and Executive Director of both the National Trade and National Utility Locating Contractors Associations, as well as a Master Gardener. As of Jan. 16, Sewell will be a member of the SMADC team, serving as their full-time specialist. “Craig’s extensive background in economics, marketing and promotion, as well as his experience working with local farmers will be a tremendous asset to our livestock producers and we look forward to seeing Craig take the Southern Maryland Meats program to the next level,” said SMADC Director Shelby Watson-Hampton.

Ives Energized By A Life of Service
By Guy Leonard Staff Writer
were difficult for them to overcome, Ives said. That was when she decided to help veterans through volunteering. “We work to find their triggers so we can help them heal,” she said. She’s also helped organize the annual Mission of Mercy events that bring free dental care to needy patients around the region. Though these projects are all founded in good will, they are still tough assignments that require a lot of dedication. Years ago a large line of dental patients at the Mission of Mercy project at North Point High School in Charles County began to get a bit difficult to handle; Ives was in charge of meeting and greeting and she started the crowd singing “If you’re happy and you know it,” she told The County Times. “They all responded,” she said, admitting it was a strange idea despite its efficiency to keep them content. She said the idea came to her from her experience as a teacher; before coming to CSM she taught mathematics and served as dean of academics at St. Mary’s Ryken High School in Leonardtown for 13 years. There, too, she wanted to find ways to help people achieve their goals. “It makes me feel good to achieve that goal in life,” Ives said. “That’s what education is all about. “I like to see people move forward with their lives.” Ives’ life to this point has been proven by forward motion. After graduating from the naval academy she served in anti-submarine warfare roles, mapping the depths of the oceans in the Caribbean and then the waters around Iceland. Her job was to find places for U.S. submarines to hide and ways to find Soviet submarines that used the abyss to evade detection. “These were the Cold War days,” Ives said. “We were losing those [Soviet] subs as they left their territory.
When she’s not helping to run the Prince Frederick campus of the College of Southern Maryland as the acting dean, Barbara Ives is serving in some other organization or effort to educate and improve the lives of Southern Maryland’s residents. A retired Navy captain and graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, Ives can’t remember a time when she wasn’t in some sort of service. “I just like helping people,” Ives, who lives in St. Mary’s County, said. “In the Navy you’re used to serving. “It’s almost innate. That’s what I like to do.” Ives just received an award from the regional chapter of naval academy alumni for her community service. She volunteers for Christmas in April helping to repair people’s homes, the Three Oaks Shelter Veterans Stand Down event that helps veterans get in touch with critical services and she also helps an organization known as Warfighter Advance. This group helps veterans recover from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) without the use of drugs, alcohol, tobacco or even caffeine. Years ago, when the War on Terror was in full swing, individual augmentees, specialists in their technical military fields were sent oversees to units in combat zones to serve with them from Patuxent River Naval Air Station. They often came back with emotional scars that

“We were using oceanography towards anti-submarine warfare.” She served aboard the USNS Harkness, a hydrographic survey ship that was a test bed for women serving at sea. Ives was a trailblazer for women in the Navy as well. “Back then women weren’t allowed at sea and there was the big debate in Congress about allowing women in the service academies,” Ives said. “The idea was if women couldn’t fight for their country on ships then why incur the costs of sending them to the academies.” Her service aboard the Harkness helped pave the way for women serving on board line vessels in the Navy. She went on to take command at the Naval Oceanographic and Meteorological Command in a reserve capacity. Continuing to serve in civilian life she spends hours moving between the counties going to meetings to make partnerships that strengthen the ties with the College of Southern Maryland and regional businesses. The strategic partnership building work she does helps make classes students take more relevant to gain employment, she said. Among those achievements are getting local contractors to agree to have their classes taught at CSM; some are technology based, she said, while others are geared towards teaching new employees to deal with all the procurement-based terminology rife in the defense industry. Keeping busy can be draining, she said, but the Southern Maryland community is held together in large part by volunteerism and she and her husband Glen Ives, also a retired Navy captain, academy graduate and helicopter pilot, want to give back to the community they have adopted. “In Southern Maryland folks appreciate it when you volunteer your time,” Ives said. “You’re appreciated for your efforts.” guyleonard@countytimes.net

SMECO Sponsors 24th Annual Math Competition
Nearly 200 Middle School Students Compete
The 24th annual regional MATHCOUNTS competition challenged nearly 200 students from 21 schools and home-schooled students throughout Southern Maryland to test their math skills at Calvert Middle School in Prince Frederick on Saturday, February 3, 2018. A competitive technological world requires a proficiency in mathematics as a foundation for success in science, technology, and engineering. MATHCOUNTS aims to boost student interest in mathematics by making the subject challenging and entertaining. Each year, more than 500 regional competitions are held in middle schools across the country, with winners advancing to state competitions and then to the national competition. The local MATHCOUNTS competition features rounds of mathematics problems to challenge students one-on-one and as teams over the course of the threehour event. First is the sprint round, a 30-question test that students complete individually. The competitors go next to the target round, where they have four sets of math problems and six minutes to complete each set of

In the individual competition, which is based on combined scores in the sprint and target rounds, Holland Henderson-Boyer from Spring Ridge Middle School in St. Mary’s County placed first and Emma Vanden Berg from Milton Somers Middle School in Charles County placed second. The top 12 scorers finish the competition by facing each other in the countdown round, a single-elimination tournament in which students must respond verbally to questions in a matter of seconds. Ryan Parker from Calvert Middle School finished first in the countdown round and Kyle Wojciechowski from Southern Middle School placed second. Both schools are in Calvert County. In the team round, foursomes of students answer 10 questions in 20 minutes. In the team competition, Northern Middle School in Calvert County won first place; team members included Mara Durham, Jack MacMillan, Kyle Page, and Aidan Smyth, coached by Carole Butler.

Mary’s County placed second; team members included Caleb Bryan, Ben Dodge, Mika Jones, and Damanjit Singh, coached by Bernadette Scheetz. Milton Somers Middle School in Charles County won third place; team members included Will Alcorn, Rachel Chernoff, Taylor Peterson, and Emma Vanden Berg, coached by Jennifer Rowland. The team from Windy Hill Middle School took fourth place and Plum Point Middle School took fifth place. Both schools are in Calvert County. Sponsors for the local MATHCOUNTS competition are SMECO and the Calvert, Charles, and St. Mary’s county public schools, with the support of the National Society of Professional Engineers. Volunteers from SMECO helped score the tests. Winners of the Southern Maryland chapter competition will go on to compete in the statewide contest at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. The top four individual competitors from each state competition receive an all-expenses-paid trip to the national competition in Washington, DC, in May.

Boschert (Tori), her husband Dane Whittington and their son Victor, as well as her mother Eva J. Ali and siblings, Fern Savage (sister), Shaun Ali (brother), Tracy Baur (sister) and Cressida Ali (sister) Born in Port Au Spain, Trinidad & Tobago on July 26th, 1962, RobinAnn grew up in a large family who moved to the United States in 1976 when Robin was 14 years old. She and her family resided in Miami, FL where she attended high school and also developed a love for the Miami

Shortly after moving, Robin met the man who she would very soon marry and spend nearly 34 years with, Matthew (Matt). Not quite a year after becoming husband and wife, Matt & Robin welcomed their first child in 1985, their son Joey. They then moved from Virginia to Maryland where they planted their roots and settled their family. Robin worked for Calvert Bank for several years as a Teller where she made lifelong friends and positively impacted those in the community with her warm smile and friendly personality and in 1989, Robin & Matt welcomed their second child, their daughter Tori. Robin would spent the next 20+ years enjoying family life and watching her children grow up playing sports and participating in the musical arts. She loved to cheer her kids on and be their biggest fan. Robin loved the beach, spending time with friends and family, watching and debating sports and was an avid Euchre player. Robin leaves this world loved by many and in the words of her grandson, “will always be in our hearts and our heads.” Memorial contributions may be made to Calvert Hospice, P.O.

Lady Seahawks Pull Out Seahawks Take Down Last Minute Victory Ferrum College
Olivia Nowlin ‘18 - Photo Credit: Julia Persell
The St. Mary’s College of Maryland women’s basketball erased a six-point deficit in the final minute and a half to pull out a 67-65 Capital Athletic Conference road win over Southern Virginia University Saturday afternoon. Senior captain Olivia Nowlin (Glenelg, Md./ Glenelg) tallied a game- and team-best 17 points while sophomore guard Janey Mathisen (Marshfield, Mass./Notre Dame Academy) laid in the game-winning bucket in the final seconds to lead the Seahawks to the season sweep of SVU. The Basics Score: St. Mary’s 67, Southern Virginia 65 Records: St. Mary’s (8-14, 4-12 CAC), Southern Virginia (12-11, 5-11 CAC) Location: Buena Vista, Va. – Knight Sports Arena How It Happened Southern Virginia entered the fourth period with only a one-point lead before back-to-back baskets by Katie Garrish gave the Knights a five-point cushion 41 seconds into the last quarter. SVU would build a six-point advantage on four separate occasions, with the last one coming at 1:26 when Cory Stout knocked down two free throws for a 63-57 SVU lead. The Seahawks then took over as four different players combined for a 10-2 run over the final 1:17 of the game. Mathisen scored four points in the run, including the game-winning layup with four seconds to go, while the Knights went 0-for4 at the line with one turnover. Southern Virginia opened up a fivepoint lead in the first stanza behind 50.0% (6-12) shooting from the field but the Seahawks used eight points off of seven SVU miscues to pull within 17-16. The Knights came out firing in the second period, shooting nearly 70% (9-13) from the field during the next 15 minutes. After St. Mary’s claimed a one-point lead for the second time in the quarter, Southern Virginia closed out the first half on an 8-0 run to boast a 36-29 halftime advantage. Shelby Butler was the half’s leading scorer with 12 points on 6-of-8 shooting while Nowlin and junior captain Katie Robey (Kensington, Md./Georgetown
Visitation) led the Seahawks with seven apiece. SVU dominated the paint in the first half, 20-12, while St. Mary’s picked up 17 points off of 13 turnovers by the home team. Southern Virginia bolstered its lead to 11 points at the 5:44-minute mark of the third stanza behind an opening 11-7 run but the Seahawks used a 12-2 run to end the quarter down only one. Inside the Box Score The Seahawks forced 25 turnovers with a season-best 17 steals, capitalizing for 28 points, while 13 offensive rebounds led St. Mary’s to eight second chance points. Nowlin posted 17 points by matching her career-high in field goals with six for the fourth time while adding three rebounds and two assists. She has now scored in double-digits 10 times this season. Robey came away with a near tripledouble on 15 points, nine boards, and a career-best eight steals plus three helpers while senior captain Kerri Kline (Hagerstown, Md./Saint James) contributed 11 points, six caroms, a career-high five steals, and two dimes. Mathisen finished the day with 10 points for her third straight double-figure scoring performance while chipping in career-bests of four rebounds and three assists. Southern Virginia was led by a pair of double-doubles as Garrish registered 13 points and a game-best 13 rebounds and Alexus Barnes recorded 11 boards and 10 points. The duo’s combined effort of 24 caroms helped the Knights notch a 45-37 rebounding margin. Game Notes Kline remains in fourth place on the St. Mary’s all-time scoring list with 1,206 career points in 97 games. She needs 42 points to move into the third spot and pass Stephanie Saint-Aubin ‘10, who put up 1,247 points in three seasons as a Seahawk. Up Next for the Seahawks Feb. 14 at York College of Pennsylvania (15-8, 11-5 CAC) – York, Pa. – CAC game – 6:00 p.m.

The Seahawks headed into halftime with a 7-0 advantage tacking on two more, including a buzzer-beater from

Kyle Lister finally put Ferrum on the scoreboard at 3:41. Junior midfielder Marshall Rhodes (Potomac, Md./Winston Churchill) notched both Seahawk goals in the fourth quarter while Lister scored his second of the day for the Panthers. Inside the Box Score Jones (2-1) and Rhodes (2-1) led the Seahawks with three points apiece while Quinn and sophomores Jack Conway (Salisbury, Md./Salisbury School) and Erich Wuesthoff (Newbury Park, Calif./ Newbury Park) each tallied two goals. First-year midfielder Luke McWright (Baldwin, Md./Loyola Blakefield) made a stellar debut for St. Mary’s, winning 14-of-19 face-offs and scooping up a game-best seven ground balls. Senior long-stick midfielder Conner Campbell (Berwyn, Pa./Conestoga) and junior defenseman Benjamin Stevens led the defensive effort with three caused turnovers apiece while junior goalkeeper Ross Snodderly (Reisterstown, Md./ Franklin) made four saves in his first career start for his first career win.

Letters to the Editor

Letter to the Editor
The Maryland Legislature is currently considering Senate Bill 903, which is: “For the purpose of repealing provisions that establish the Southern Maryland Higher Education Center and its governance: and generally relating to the Southern Maryland Higher Education Center”. This Bill, if enacted, would transform the Southern Maryland Higher Education Center (SMHEC) from what is currently a fully independent regional higher education center governed by a Board of Governors comprised totally of Southern Maryland citizens into a third-tier University System of Maryland (USM) regional center with only local “Advisory Board” input to its operations and, most importantly, to the selection of its advanced degree offerings. This Bill would have no effect, positive or negative, upon the efforts currently underway which are directed toward the SMHEC’s third building, an education and research facility being constructed under the auspices of the USM. The issue of the Research Center, currently partially funded and in the planning stages by the USM, is essentially settled – and will hopefully prove to be a valuable, if expensive, asset supporting both necessary Southern Maryland economic diversity and the Navy’s continued presence here. The absorption of the totality of the SMHEC into the mass of the USM however, is driven by only the apparent reluctance of the State of Maryland to recognize the value of such independent centers (there are multiple) through reliable funding and the absence of sufficient public dialog to effect a change to that dynamic. Rather, the easy route is to funnel funding into the USM and hope for the best. Again, there is no linkage between the research facility and the absorption of the SMHEC as a whole. USM represents fine institutions of higher education and many of the offerings provided over the past 24 years at the SMHEC have been by USM components. Many other of the fine offerings however have been provided by non-USM associated schools. In fact, the very first offeror to come to the SMHEC in 1994

18 FINANCIAL PLANNING TIPS FOR 2018 SOCIAL SECURITY.
It’s not enough to live on, but it is a safety net for you. Check out the benefits to which you are entitled and keep in mind that there are limitations under age 66 to the amounts you can earn if you receive social security.
INSURANCE.
There are insurance products out there that can give you income and security for your principal. A professional is required to advise you on all the products available to you. Do your due diligence and interview professionals—unless they can explain how the insurance products work, walk away. You want someone who treats you with respect and is well educated about insurance products and you and your family.
INDEX FUNDS.
By Lyn Striegel Contributing Writer This is for all you procrastinators out there. You know who you are. It’s never too early or too late to start a financial plan. Every year I prepare a list of financial planning tips. In hopes of inspiring you to start a financial plan, here are 18 tips for your 2018 financial plan:
STASH THE CASH.
The first step is to stash enough cash to give you breathing room if something terrible happens like an illness or job loss. At least 6 months and probably a year’s worth of income will do it.
PAY YOURSELF FIRST.
If you own a small business, get yourself on the books too. It’s tempting to pay everyone else before you, but by doing that you cheat yourself. Be kinder to you.
NO CREDIT CARDS ALLOWED.
Think about it—twenty percent interest on your purchases? This is a terrible drag on your finances. Pay off those credit cards with a plan. Then, keep one for emergencies but otherwise buy with cash.
MAX OUT THE 401(K).
If your employer has a 401(k) and you do not participate, shame on you. Especially if the employer will match your contributions—that’s free money to you.
GET IT ALL IN ONE PLACE.
If you can’t see it, you can’t manage it. Get all your investment accounts under one roof with one statement a month.
ALLOCATE, ALLOCATE, ALLOCATE.
This goes without saying, but unless you allocate your assets across cash, stocks and bonds, you will not succeed as an investor. I always recommend investors consult a professional to allocate their assets—interview the professionals until you find one that responds most to your concerns.
LET IT RIDE.
Compound interest is your friend. The more you can reinvest your interest or dividends, the better.
NO NEWS IS GOOD NEWS.
Following the business news to figure out how to make a plan is just foolish. The news cycle is not your investment guide. Turn off the 24-hour business “news” and focus on making a plan to last over time.
SAVINGS ALONE IS NOT ENOUGH.
You’ve got to make investments to earn money on your money. Just keeping it in the mattress will not help defeat inflation. With interest rates rising, you now have a better chance of earning money on your investments.
I like ‘em and so does everyone else. Keep it basic with index funds that track the major indexes. There are far too many hybrid index funds out there that are too risky. Forget the bells and whistles—go for the basic indexes.
BENEFICIARIES.
You need to check on what beneficiaries you have designated for your accounts, retirement plans, insurance policies, etc. Make sure it isn’t the ex-spouse or deceased parents. The latest dated beneficiary designation counts so keep these up to date.
REQUIRED DOCS.
You know I’m going to advise you to get your estate plan in order as a major part of your financial plan. You need a Will or a Living Trust, a Power of Attorney and a Living Will. Without these documents, you have no power to help your loved ones in a medical emergency and the courts will decide the distribution of your assets.
GET YOUR CREDIT RATING AND KEEP UP WITH IT.
There are lots of free available tools to help you get your credit rating. Review your credit report and question anything that is not clear to you. Submit corrections to all three major credit reporting agencies and follow-up to make sure the corrections have been implemented on your report. To re-build your credit, obtain a credit card, make a small monthly purchase and pay it off every month. Keep doing this for a year. The results will show up as current on your credit report and raise your score.
CONFIDENCE.
This is the hard part. Financial planning is not rocket science—anyone can do this by following simple rules. HAVE CONFIDENCE.
GET MORE EDUCATION.
There are so many learning tools out there. Every major brokerage firm and insurance company has tips for you on starting and maintaining a financial plan. And, most reputable financial advisors are very willing to give you their time free of charge to discuss financial planning. Take advantage of what is available to you and learn more. You can never get enough education.
BE PATIENT.
You will not achieve success by chasing the most current trend. Pick your investments carefully, making sure to allocate and be patient about the results. If at any time your investments decline more than 15%, review them with your advisor It may be time to get out of some of them. Your horizon should be long-term.
