Budget Message: Keep the Tax Rates the Same Hayden said the flow of income tax revenue has been difficult to predict in recent years and the estimates have been higher than what actually came in. So, this year he is making a modest prediction of just $300,000 more. The preliminary results from the just concluded Fiscal Year 2018 showed the county was able to conservatively budget, leading to a $2.5 million surplus that can be applied to future budgets. The budget created by staff will go to a public hearing on March 19, 2019 and then the new commissioner board will massage it and have their own public hearing on May 21, 2019.
Commissioner Vice President Tom Hejl
By Dick Myers Editor The Calvert County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) has directed staff to build the budget for the next fiscal year with the income and property tax rates at the current level. Even though the ink is barely dry for the budget that went into effect on July 1, staff of the Department of Finance and Budget are now beginning to work on the budget for Fiscal Year 2020. County departments will be receiving packets for developing their budget by October 1. The message contained in those packets: • County departments maintain their budgets for FY 2020 with strong justification for any increase • All requests for new positions, initiatives or programs should be listed in a separate column in the budget software. The request for a level budget comes even though Director of Budget and Finance Tim Hayden is predicting a $12.3 million increase in revenue. But, the bulk of that increase
will be coming from the Dominion Cove Point Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILOT). It is anticipated to increase by $9.2 million this coming fiscal year, bringing the total to $64 million. According to Hayden, the Dominion PILOT will remain above $60 million through Fiscal Year 2023 and then level off to about $54 million after 2023. The Dominion PILOT until 2023 will be based on a fixed amount, according to Commissioner President Evan Slaughenhoupt, Jr. After 2023 it will be based on the plant’s assessed value. It is because the Dominion PILOT is anticipated to drop in a couple of years that the county does not want to apply those extra revenues to recurring charges, instead putting it to use to pay cash for capital projects or to cover costs of other post-employment benefits (OPEB), a fund used to cover future costs of retiree health benefits. Slaughenhoupt elicited unanimous agreement not to reduce either the income or property-tax rates in preparing the budget. Two years ago, the
board raised the propertytax rate from .892 to .937 and the income-tax rate from 2.8 percent to 3 percent. That has become an issue in this year’s commissioner election. Slaughenhoupt, who is not seeking reelection, continued to justify the decision, saying otherwise the board would have been facing the decision to cut $10 million somewhere in the budget. Commissioner Vice President Tom Hejl, who was defeated in the primary, said the commissioners had repeatedly asked taxpayers where they would like to cut the budget. “Not one person came forward to tell us where to cut,” he said. Hejl said he could vote to put a tax cut in the budget and let it up to the new board to decide where to cut. But, he added, “I could be vindictive, but I love Calvert County.” Hayden said if the tax increase had not been enacted, the county would still have an almost $10 million deficit. Commissioner Pat Nutter, who also is not seeking re-election said, “It was one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever made.”

Planners Reject School Capacity Changes
By Dick Myers Editor The Calvert County Planning Commission has rebuffed a suggestion that regulations on adequate public facilities be softened for school enrollment. Currently the adequate capacity threshold is 100 percent for schools. The proposal was to change that to 110 percent. Now, when a school’s capacity reaches 100 percent, no new residential subdivisions can receive final approval until the schools serving their area are at or
less than 100 percent either through additions to existing schools or building a new school. The proposal from planning and school staffs was that the threshold be raised to 110 percent. Long-Range Planner Jenny PlummerWelker reported to the Calvert County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) at their Sept. 18 meeting the recommendation for the change was “…based upon the Calvert County Public School staff’s observation that the schools can operate at 110 percent capacity without compro-
Rhythm & Riches 2018
mising efficiency.” Plummer-Welker said that the schools have space and the limiting factor is their desired pupil-teacher ratio. To go over 100 percent classes would just have to be larger. She also pointed out that students moving into existing residences have to be accommodated and that several schools in the northern part of the county are already operating at more than 100 percent capacity. The desire for the change came from the fact that subdivisions have been halted in portions of north county, which is viewed as an economic development damper. The current regulations put the maximum amount of time final subdivision approval can be delayed at seven years, under the theory that should give the school system time to correct the shortage of space. The proposal to the county commissioners was to change the delay period to a maximum of six years, making it consistent with the county’s capital

Planners Delay Review of Land-Use Update
Final Decision Pushed Until After Election
By Dick Myers Editor
The Amish Outlaws
improvement plan. At the BOCC meeting, Commissioner Pat Nutter had difficulty with the concept of allowing schools to operate over capacity. But he and the other board members went along with allowing the planning commission to look at it and set up a public hearing. At the Sept. 19 planning commission meeting, member John Toohey had the same problem that Nutter had: “I can’t see this one,” he said. “I’d like to leave it at 100 percent, frankly.” Toohey is a retired schoolteacher. The rest of the commission members, with the exception of Maria Buehler, supported Toohey when he made the motion to reject taking the change to a public hearing. His motion did, however, include changing the time limit from seven years to six years and also to make some minor editorial changes in the regulations. They will go to a public hearing.
The update of the Calvert County Comprehensive Plan will be in the hands of the new commissioner board. The planning commission at its Sept. 19 meeting voted to accept staff recommendation to delay finishing their chapter by chapter review of the update until after the Nov. 6 election. The commission agreed to hold their final review in November instead of October. They will tackle two of the most contentious sections of the plan update, transportation and land use at their Nov, 14 meeting, which will be held in larger quarters, at the Calvert Pines Senior Center meeting room in Prince Frederick. One of the hot button issues still to be tackled is what to call the Dunkirk Town Center – is it a major town center or a minor town center or just a town center? Director of Planning and Zoning Mark Willis noted that whatever Dunkirk is called, growth is occurring there with private sewer systems. “The county isn’t doing it, developers are doing it.” There is a strong anti-growth sentiment among citizen groups in Dunkirk. Willis quipped, “If it makes citizens
feel better we can call it a minor town center.” Keep Calvert Country, a citizen’s group that has been calling for a slowdown in the update process and a transportation study before it’s finalized, recently posted a blog on how Dunkirk is being treated in the update. In the blog written by former planning staffer Mariam Gholl, Willis was quoted in an earlier meeting as saying, “I don’t know what else to tell you about water and sewer. It is not our plan but others are planning it.” Gholl asks: “Who are these other folks who are planning sewer in Dunkirk?” Gholl said that the decision about Dunkirk should be deferred until its town center master plan is updated. The current commissioner board had earlier expressed a hope that they would be able to finish the process before they left office. Three of the five commissioners will not be returning – Evan Slaughenhoupt, Jr and Pat Nutter are not seeking re-election and Tom Hejl was defeated in the primary. Republican incumbents Mike Hart and Steve Weems have Democratic challengers. The plan update, in addition to the planning commission review, is also now under a 60-day review by state agencies Once the planners are ready and the review is over, a joint public hearing with the county commissioners and planning commission would be called before the BOCC makes the final vote. dickmyers@countytimes.net

Community Partners Provide Medical Rides Tri -County Council Leads Effort By Dick Myers Editor
There has been a persistent gap for people in Southern Maryland seeking health care services. That gap – transportation. Many people live in rural areas without any form of transportation other than what they can provide themselves. When they can’t drive or can’t afford the wheels they are often out of luck. That gap was discussed at a regional meeting several years ago at the College of Southern Maryland Prince Frederick Campus. Out of that meeting came the TriCounty Council for Southern Maryland (TCCSMD) involvement and the securing of grants to get a project off the ground. According to TCCSMD Executive Director, John Hartline, a $25,000 grant was awarded to then from the Rural Maryland Council, followed by an additional $35,000, to develop a plot project to provide transportation services. According to information provided by Hartline “Transportation availability is a vital social determinant of health outcomes in rural communities. The availability of reliable transportation impacts a person’s ability to access appropriate and well-coordinated healthcare, purchase nutritious food, and otherwise care for him or herself.” The pilot project started to come together when The Arc of Southern Maryland in Prince Fredrick received an $80,000 grant from the Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT). The Arc is using the grant funds from MDOT and their own funds as a local match to supply “two vehi-
cles and drivers, dispatchers and transportation experience developed through their own operations,” according to TCCSMD. The program is called Wheels2Wellness. The TCCSMD’s program manager Patricia Hadden said her program and The Arc are sharing the vehicles. When The Arc doesn’t need them for their own clients, then they are available forWheels2Wellness. The Arc of Southern Maryland did not return calls from the County Times for more information about their involvement in the program. Hadden said the council is working with the planning departments in Calvert and St. Mary’s to help them identify areas in their counties most in need of transportation services. That will especially assist Calvert County which is now updating its comprehensive plan which has a transportation component. Hartline said TCCSMD is applying to the Rural Maryland Council for a grant to supply iPads, two software systems from Roundup and WellRyde, wireless data transmission capabilities from Verizon Wireless and funds to pay a per mile transportation reimbursement for each client. Other partners in the pilot project include CalvertHealth and MedStar St. Mary’s. They are providing case managers and a cohort of patients for the project. Hadden said the targeted customers are the handicapped and senior citizens, although she said it is hoped the program can expand to all citizens in need of transportation. During June and July, using the grant monies, equipment and services were purchased, patients were identified and “cooperation and trust was built among group
members,” Hartline said. The program got under way in August. During the initial month, 25 trips were planned, but in the end 48 were provided, showing the demand. Most of the trips so far have been in St. Mary’s, and an outreach effort is underway to expand the services in Calvert County. The discontinuance of the Partners in Care transpor-
tation service in Calvert County last year has left an especially large gap in service in Calvert. Hartline said that the program has funds in place to continue through June of 2019 and they are hopeful of securing additional funds to extend it beyond that date. dickmyers@countytimes.net

Van Hollen Hosts CSM Confab on Opioid Crisis
Senator Chris Van Hollen on Sept. 19 hosted a Public Safety Forum with local officials in Southern Maryland where he discussed federal efforts and resources to address the opioid epidemic. CSM President Dr. Maureen Murphy is flanked by Van Hollen and Rep. Steny Hoyer. Also shown, St. Mary’s County Sheriff Tim Cameron (left) and Calvert County Sheriff Mike Evans (right).
U.S. Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) applauded the Senate’s passage of the bipartisan Opioid Crisis Response Act of 2018, which will help address this public health epidemic and the ripple effects of the crisis on children, families, and communities. In addition, as a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, Senator Van Hollen helped secure over $3.8 billion for Fiscal Year 2019 in legislation that was passed by Congress last week. This funding will go directly to fighting the opioid epidemic and includes: • $200 million for Community Health Centers to sup-

But we are only getting started. Together, we must keep fighting for prevention, treatment, and recovery services for individuals struggling with substance abuse and other mental health issues. We won’t stop until we’ve ended this scourge and addressed the terrible personal and economic toll that the opioid epidemic and substance abuse takes on our communities,” said Senator Van Hollen. On Sept. 19 Van Hollen hosted a Public Safety Forum with local officials in Southern Maryland where he discussed federal efforts and resources to address the opioid epidemic. Senator Van Hollen also solicited feedback from the attendees, which included officials from local governments, sheriffs’ offices, fire departments, school systems, churches, and other organizations. Additionally, last Friday, Senator Van Hollen visited Maryland House Detox, the first and only freestanding, 24/7 inpatient detox center in Maryland. During his visit, the Senator spoke with the organization’s leadership about increasing resources to fight the opioid epidemic. Press Release from Office of U.S. Senator Chris Van Hollen

While making contact with the driver, Jennifer Dolores Medellin (27), Deputy Mohler noticed a strong odor of marijuana emitting from the vehicle. Medellin advised there was marijuana in the glovebox and a glass smoking device in the driver’s seat. A search of the vehicle revealed a baggie of marijuana, a glass smoking device with raw and burnt marijuana and a prescription bottle with 58 Adderall pills. A search of her person revealed a baggie with 4 more Adderall pills. Medellin was placed under arrest and transported to the Calvert County Detention Center where she was charged with CDS: Possession-Not Marijuana, CDS: Possession of Marijuana > 10 Grams and CDS: Possession of Paraphernalia. On September 22, 2018 Deputy Rediker and Deputy Lewis responded to Arthur King Road, Prince Frederick for the report of a disorderly subject. The suspect, Tremayne Lamont Pride (42), was aggressive and yelled during the entire encounter. Pride was advised if he continued to act disorderly the officers would have to take him to jail. He started another confrontation with the victim on scene, therefore, he was placed under arrest and transported to the Calvert County Detention Center. Pride was charged with Disorderly Conduct and Failure to Obey Lawful Order.

Duke Honored For Impact on CBL Campus C. Brian Duke, Facilities Manager at the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science’s Chesapeake Biological Laboratory, has been awarded the University System of Maryland (USM) Board of Regents Staff Award for Effectiveness and Efficiency. This is the first time that an UMCES staff member has received this prestigious system-wide award. The Board of Regents’ USM Staff Awards represent the highest honor bestowed by the Board of Regents for achievements of employees from the 12 institutions within the University System of Maryland. USM Board of Regents Staff Award winner Brian Duke led the Chesapeake Biological Laboratory in being the first to install high profile reusable water bottle filling stations to reduce the use of plastic water bottles on campus. “These awards celebrate and recognize the best staff across USM, those that go above and beyond what could be expected normally in their position,” said Peter Goodwin, president of the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science (UMCES) and Vice Chancellor for Sustainability for the University System of Maryland. “Commitment such as Brian’s demonstrates to visitors and potential students that UMCES does not just study environmental issues but constantly implements actions that reduce our institutional carbon, water, and pollutant footprints.” Duke has had a remarkable impact in his five years as facilities manager at the Chesapeake Biological Laboratory, helping to create a facilities team that operates a complex and sophisticated campus. “When guests come to campus they often note how
wonderful our facilities look, believing that we have spent additional time to prepare for their visit,” said Tom Miller, Director of the Chesapeake Biological Laboratory (CBL). “The truth is that the CBL campus always operates at a high level to support the research and administration of those who work here every day.” Duke’s biggest contributions have been in the area of the efficiency and effectiveness of campus operations. These include leading improvements to buildings on campus that have yielded substantial savings on operation costs, leveraging opportunities to upgrade infrastructure while other projects are ongoing, and implementing a facilities maintenance program that ensures the maximum lifespan possible from the campus’ physical plant. “Brian is constantly thinking outside the box to ensure that our facilities provide the best possible return on the State’s investment,” said Miller. “His approach to leadership has created an environment in which those who report to him have followed his lead so that all of the facilities staff are constantly seeking ways to make our work more effective and efficient.” His careful research and retrofit of the HVAC on the largest laboratory building at UMCES reduced energy costs by over $20,000 per year. He has facilitated a number of projects aimed at making the facility more energy efficient by upgrading lighting, and he led the campuses in being the first to install high profile reusable water bottle filling stations to reduce the use of plastic water bottles on campus. Recent improvements have made a positive and real financial impact while simultaneously reducing UMCES’ dependence on fossil fuels. In 2016-2017, the cam-

pus reported a savings of $176, 220 in utility consumption and reduced its annual carbon dioxide footprint by 621 tons. “Brian is extremely worth of being a recipient of the Board of Regents Staff Award for 2018 and I feel fortunate that CBL has such an outstanding and dedicated employee,” said Stacy Hutchinson, associate director of the Chesapeake Biological Laboratory. Each awardee will receive a $2,000stipend and a plaque in recognition of the award being received. Press Release from CBL

Southern Maryland: The Fall Place to Be The Calvert County Times

Thursday, September 27, 2018
By Dick Myers Editor
in Calvert and Patuxent River Naval Air Museum and the Old Jail Museum in St. Mary’s County.
Many people believe that Southern Maryland is at its best in the fall. Evidence can be found in the milder weather, often with a little nip in the air, and the abundance of activities, including fairs and festival, to interest just about everybody.
A day trying to fund your way out of a corn maze is a perfect way to commune with autumn (see a complete listing if local corn mazes elsewhere in this special section)
Fall is a particularly nice time to get out and enjoy the beautiful surroundings that are ours for the picking all year but are especially special in the fall. A hike around a park is all the more enjoyable without the fear of dehydration, although everyone should be aware that in spells it can get hot in the fall. That’s what Indian Summer is all about. Calvert Couny parks just begging for a hike are: Kings Landing Park, Calvert Cliffs Stare Park, American Chestnut Land Trust, Battle Creek Cyprus Swamp Sanctuary, Biscoe Gray Heritage Farm and Chesapeake Beach Railway Trail. Or a stroll around North Beach including along the boardwalk is a likewise pleasant diversion. Parks in St. Mary’s County include Point Lookout State Park, Elms Beach Park, Greenwell State Park, Leonardtown Wharf Park, Myrtle Point Park, Newtowne Neck State Park, Port of Leonardtown Pak, Historic St. Mary’s City, St. Clements Island State Park, and St. Mary’s River State Park. If history is your thing, some of the aforementioned parks also come with a twist of history, such as St. Mary’s City for colonial history and Point Lookout State Park for Civil War history. Of course, history is on display inside Calvert Marine museum, Bayside History Museum in North Beach and Chesapeake Beach Railway Museum
Vested in You Together We’re Better.
Local farmer’s markets have the requisite pumpkins and mums, in addition to a surprising variety of fall fruits and vegetables. And of course, crabs and oysters are at their peak, available directly from the watermen or at your favorite local restaurant. And speaking of food, don’t forget the Harvest Taste of Solomons on Oct. 13. The many fairs and festivals in the fall can leave residens with the need for a daytimer or phone calendar in front of them for scheduling. The first full weekend in October is really full, with Patuxent River Appreciation Days, Blessing of the Fleet and Sotterley’s Riverside Winefest all that weekend (see separate stories on each festival in this section). Southern Maryland is looking outward towards the Bay and the rivers, and its maritime history and watermen’s culture are both treasured. That heritage is on display at Patuxent River Appreciation Days Oct. 6-7, the Blessing of the Fleet Oct 6 this year, and the St. Mary’s County Oyster Festival Oct. 20-21 at the St. Mary’s County Fairgrounds. Halloween looms as October winds down. The three towns in Calvert and St. Mary’s are an exciting and safe place for kids of all ages to celebrate Halloween. Here are their events: • North Beach Boo Bash on October 27, 2018, 3-5 p.m. The North Beach Business Loop and the Town of North Beach present the

Straight Talk on Straight Teeth
BY: JEFF TOMCSIK Orthodontic braces and clear aligners such as Invisalign® are not just for straightening teeth and making your smile look better. In fact, a highly trained and skilled dentist will use orthodontic treatment to improve the function of the teeth which will result in a healthier, longer-lasting smile. While good looking teeth are attractive, the purpose of your teeth is to chew food. When teeth are misaligned, they can slowly damage opposing teeth during the chewing process. When they are in proper alignment, teeth break down the food they are chewing without damaging each other.
To help illustrate the point, think of a well working pair of scissors. When in good alignment the two blades come together and meet at a very precise point that makes them excellent at cutting paper. On the other hand, imagine one of the scissor blades had a slight bend or a ding in the metal. This imperfection would surely affect the scissor’s ability to cut as well as when it was in perfect alignment. If the one blade is bent away from the other, there will be a gap between the points of contact that cause the cutting action. The result would likely be a failure
to cut effectively or efficiently. If the bend in the one blade is toward the other, it would cause the blades to scrape each other, making cutting difficult. More importantly to note, the blades scraping each other slowly destroy the cutting surface of both blades. These same principles can be applied to your teeth. In any area of the mouth where your opposing teeth do not meet when you perform a chewing motion (meaning there is a space between the top and opposing-bottom tooth in any area of your mouth when your jaw is closed), like the scissor in the first scenario, it is rendered ineffective in the chewing process. On the other hand, if there are any teeth that are colliding with their opposing teeth, they are likely causing trauma to each other and slowly wearing down the enamel surface and eventually the tooth structure. This will likely lead to greater risk of decay and eventually risk the tooth’s overall vitality. Many people who have ongoing problems with decay or pain despite their efforts to keep their teeth clean, might be suffering from malocclusion issues that are causing the ongoing dental problems. The good
news is that orthodontics may be a solution to these problems, and a straighter, more beautiful smile is a bonus to the treatment, not the reason for the treatment. If you’re like most adults, the thought of braces is unnerving. Years in metal brackets and sharp wires is no-one’s idea of a good time. If these thoughts are keeping you away from approaching your dentist about a straighter, more beautiful, better functioning, healthier smile, consider a clear aligner option such as Invisalign®. Invisalign® is a clear, removeable retainer that may achieve the same results as traditional braces in less time. The fact that aligners are removeable means you can take them out whenever you eat. This makes eating more comfortable and cleaner as you will not have to worry about food particles being stuck in your braces. They also allow you to easily clean your teeth, where braces with wires make flossing and thorough brushing more difficult. The material used by Invisalign® is by far superior to all other aligners on the market. Not only is it the most invisible, it is also the fastest working material, meaning you will reach your desired outcome in a fraction

of the time to other safe orthodontic options. Finally, with Invisalign® technology, your dentist can take a scan of your mouth and show you virtually what your results will look like, from the improved esthetics of your smile profile to the benefits of improving any occlusion issues that may be causing damage to your teeth. The next time you go to your dentist, ask them if they are Invisalign® certified. Ask them if they can provide a virtual, digital smile makeover with the use of an iTero® scanner so that you can see your likely outcome. Also ask them if you have any occlusion issues during chewing and if orthodontics is right for you. One of the biggest barriers to getting orthodontic treatment dentists hear the most is that it costs too much. Before you allow money to get between you and a healthy, beautiful smile, think about the amount of money you spent on your last car. That car will likely not be in your life ten years from now. The cost of braces or Invisalign® is a fraction of the cost of that car, and the results will last you a lifetime!

A scene from last year’s fair.
By Dick Myers Editor Most people who walk through the gates of the 132nd Calvert County Fair will not realize the massive volunteer effort it takes to put it on. That effort not only encompasses the week of the fair but goes on year-round. The core of that effort includes the 19-member Fair Board of Directors and their 19 associate directors. It is decidedly a labor of love. Dotty Greene has been on the board for 30 years and is now in charge of one of the fair’s busiest days, Friday’s Youth Day. Green was raised on a farm in a family for whom the fair was an important annual event. She was a 4-H’er. “The fair and the farm life was our way of life,” she explained. When she graduated from Calvert County Junior-Senior High School, “I knew when I went to college that I was going to the University of Maryland and major
in Home Economics,” Greene said. She was following in her mother’s footsteps. She had also been a 4-H’er and became a home economist with the University of Maryland Extension Service. When her mother moved to Calvert County she married a tobacco farmer and became a farm wife. Dotty was the second oldest of their five children. Her mother had taught in a one-room school before going with the Extension Service. When she moved to Calvert she renewed her teaching certificate and began to teach Home Economics When she graduated from University of Maryland with her Home Economics degree, Dotty returned to Calvert County and began to teach at her old alma mater. “I taught in one room and my mother taught in the room next to me,” she explained, in the school that would later become Calvert Middle School. “I even taught my younger sister,” she added. She and her husband moved closer to town for a while but moved back and Dotty quit teaching to become a full-time mother, but she later went back to graduate school at the University of Maryland. She would later return to teaching Home Economics at the new Northern High School. She said there were a lot of imperfections in the school including a poor heating system. But there was a stove in her classroom, so it became one of the more popular classes.
“We do feel that it is a fun ucational day,” she said. Fre in but that’s not the reason are also community exhibits to learn about the communi

Greene taught at Northern until she retired in 1997. Before she retired she was asked to serve on the fair board because of her experience. It harkened back to her youthful experience with the fair. As a child she would go through the fair book “and try to have as many entries as I could because that was the way we earned money to buy Christmas presents.” She raised chickens, was in the fashion show, did canning and preserving, all the things that represented life on a farm in Calvert County in those days. “It was a very, very active life,’ Greene said about growing up on a farm and being involved in 4-H. She added, “The fair board

them, “Don’t worry, we will take care of you.” During the intermission for the judges to confer, Greene was asked that same question. She said for a while she lived in Germany with her family. She said when she came back through the airport and hit the county line, “I was home. I always had the feeling it was my home. I was brought up that way. I was a 4-H person. I know people throughout the county. “There’s the life of the county – the land, the beauty, the people” she said. If she comes to the fair on opening Wednesday night, she said she will see people in clusters standing around and talking “It’s like a common ground for the whole county!” She added, “I think people here care about other people and they want to be with them.” According to the Calvert County Fair website: “The first Calvert County fair was held in 1886 on the farm of Dr. Talbott in Smithville (now Dunkirk). This farm is still owned by his heirs, the Eisemans. This event was primarily a display of cattle and tobacco and a get-together for the men. Originally, horse racing was a popular part of the event. These were basically social events and while there is little known about the early efforts for a Fair, it is believed that these gatherings did continue as smaller events during the early years of the century. Under the direction and promotion of Mr. John Drury, who started what is now known as the Extension Service in Calvert County, the Fair grew more popular. Then, during the First World War, the area came upon leaner times and farming became crucial to the war efforts, so little was done in those years to promote Fairs.” The fair was revived by a new county agriculture extension agent, John Morsell. “During the twenties and early thirties, he encouraged farmers to participate and the Fair eventually evolved into the major event that we enjoy today. The Calvert County Farm Bureau was organized during this time and the members also saw the benefits of holding a Fair annually,” according to the fair history. During this time, the fair moved around to various locations, including at the Prince Frederick Town Hall.
Newly crowned Miss Tranquility Maddison Attick of Huntingtown H.S. and Lord Calvert Thomas Ridenaur of Northern H.S.
The fair’s modern era begins with the establishment of the Calvert County Fair Board in 1940. Morsell and several Farm Bureau members were convinced a permanent home was needed. A bank loan was secured and a nine-acre site was purchased from Duke Brightwell which was located on what later came to be known as Armory Road. Two more parcels were added later as the fair grew, bringing the total acreage to 12. The fair moved to its second, larger permanent home o Route 231 in Barstow in 1986, according to current Fair Board Chairman Carol Lee, the board’s eighth president and first woman to hold that position. Gates open at 4 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 26 and then at 9 a.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday and 10 a.m. Sunday. Admission is $5 (12 and Up). Parking is free. No pets allowed. Greene concluded “We are very partial to our fair. It’s not a big fair . We try to get entertainment that will please the people. We just enjoy working with them.”

Seahawk Men’s Soccer Rebounds with Dominant Win
Khalid Balogun ‘20 - Photo Credit: Bill Wood
Junior forward Khalid Balogun (Bowie, Md./Bowie) tallied a goal and two assists as the St. Mary’s College of Maryland men’s soccer team returned to the win column Saturday afternoon. St. Mary’s (5-1-2), who landed sixth in this week’s South Atlantic region rankings, rolled to a 6-0 shutout of DeSales University (4-3-1). St. Mary’s 6, DeSales 0 How It Happened • The Seahawks used three goals in each half and goalkeepers Patrick Paolini (Gaithersburg, Md./Quince Orchard) and Kyle Berkowitz (Riva, Md./South River) combined for the team’s fourth shutout of the season. • St. Mary’s dominated the game with a 25-7 shot advantage and a 6-3 edge in corner kicks. • Junior forward Josh McRobie (Crofton, Md./Arundel) started the scoring for St. Mary’s with his fifth of the season in the 22nd minute, splitting two defenders after receiving a long pass from junior midfielder Anoi Hindle (Huntingtown, Md./ Huntingtown). • The Seahawks went up 2-0 in the 33rd minute when Balogun made good on a free kick from 20 yards out for his team-leading seventh goal of the season. • St. Mary’s headed into halftime with a 3-0 advantage after junior midfielder Brad Moore (Crofton, Md./South River) found the back of the net with four minutes left in the half off an assist from Balogun. • Less than five minutes into the sec-
ond period, sophomore forward Roshawn Panton (Bowie, Md./Eleanor Roosevelt) netted his first goal as a Seahawk. Panton tapped in a cross from Balogun at the far post. • Senior defender Pascal Iraola (Kensington, Md./Bethesda Chevy Chase) picked up his first career goal at 74:26 as Iraola converted a penalty kick for the 5-0 lead. • Sophomore forward Isaac Ekobo (Hyattsville, Md./Thomas Stone) notched his second of 2018 in the 87th minute after chest-trapping the ball and bicycle-kicking it into the top right corner. For the Seahawks • Scorers: Balogun (1 goal, 2 assists); McRobie (1 goal); Moore (1 goal); Panton (1 goal); Iraola (1 goal); Ekobo (1 goal); Hindle (1 assist) • Goalkeepers: Paolini (2 saves, 0 goals allowed, 81:29); Berkowitz (1 save, 0 goals allowed, 8:31) For DeSales • Scorers: None • Goalkeepers: TJ Corcoran (2 saves, 4 goals allowed, 53:18); Jake McKinney (5 saves, 2 goals allowed, 36:42) Notes • Today’s victory breaks a 1-1 draw in the series history. DeSales (formerly known as Allentown) won the first meeting 2-0 in 1984 before the Seahawks answered back with a 1-0 triumph in 1994. By Nairem Moran nmoran@smcm.edu for SMCM

Chesapeake Hills Reopens Front Nine
The Calvert County Department of Parks & Recreation hasreopen Chesapeake Hills Golf Course’s front nine holes for play. Staff closed off the holes in July to plant and nurture new Bermuda grass. Until further notice, carts are limited to the cart path on holes six through nine. “The sprigging project has been completed and the grass is growing in nicely,” said Chesapeake Hills Golf Course Manager Michael Maher. “Although it hasn’t reached its full potential yet, we are able to open the front nine for play. We think our customers will be very impressed with the improvements.” Located in scenic Lusby and just minutes from historic Solomons Island, the Chesapeake Hills Golf Course offers an enjoyable and challenging experience for all golfers.

The Calvert County Times
In Remembrance George Broughton Spence, Jr
George Broughton Spence, Jr., 81, passed away on September 15th, 2018. The cause of death was leukemia, which had only been diagnosed three weeks before. George, known as GB to his siblings, was born in 1937 on a farm in Lillington, North Carolina. He was the sixth of nine children born to Broughton Spence and Lillie Patterson Spence. GB’s father died when GB was only nine years old. With his older brother James away in the Navy and in college at the University of North Carolina, this left GB as the man of the family, responsible for plowing with a mule and raising tobacco and other crops. GB attended North Carolina State University from 1955 to 1959, graduating with a bachelor’s degree in agriculture and a commission as a second lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps. Upon graduation, he went on active duty with the Marines. While attending The Basic School at Quantico, Virginia, 2nd Lt. Spence met and married Carol Todd Spence of Hampton, Virginia, who was attending Mary Washington College. The young couple moved to Camp Lejeune, North Carolina where Lt. Spence served as an artillery officer in the 10th Marines, 2nd Marine Division. GB’s first calling was agriculture, and GB and Carol moved to Lusby, Maryland in 1963 when GB was offered a position as a Calvert County Extension Agent, a joint program with the University of Maryland and the United States Department of Agriculture. For thirty years, GB, now called George, served in this capacity working to share the latest scientific methods of agriculture with Calvert County farmers, pausing only to

earn a Master’s degree from NC State. In 1969, George bought a small farm in Lower Marlboro, where he and his wife would live for the rest of their lives. They raised one son, George Broughton Spence III. Eventually buying a second farm, George continued to work as the County Agent while also farming about 20 acres of tobacco. Retiring after 30 years with the Cooperative Extension Service, George continued to farm, concentrating on food crops he sold at the Takoma Park Farmers Market and beside the road closer to home. Nowadays, people know him as the man who sold asparagus and blackberries on Route 4 just north of the Calvert County line. He and his wife traveled extensively, visiting about 40 different countries and every state but Alaska. He was preceded in death just four months ago by his wife, Carol. He is survived by his son, Broughton, his daughter-in-law, Laurie, and his grandchildren George IV, Abigail and Eleanor. He is also survived by his brother Philip, and his sisters Ruth Cain, Betty Stephens, and Judy Strickland. Memorial Mass will be Tuesday, October 9, 2018, 11 a.m. at Covenant Community of Jesus the Good Shepherd, 1601 West Mt. Harmony Road, Owings MD 20736. Interment will be at the church cemetery.

The family would like to express their thanks and gratitude to Georgetown Medical Center, Calvert Health Medical Center, Lori Hudson and the staff at Calvert County Nursing Center and Tina McMahon at Calvert County Social Services Department of Human Resources. Shirley is survived by her sons Guy St. John and wife Cheryl of Port Republic, Thomas “Tony” St. John and wife Debbie of Huntingtown and Al St. John and wife Sam of Kentucky, 10 grandchildren and 9 great-grandchildren.

Join St. Mary’s County Arts Council for their monthly Art Share Series on First Friday, October 5th from 6-7 PM. The featured artists for the evening will be local musicians Jay Armsworthy and Woody Norris, presenting the style of music that has been known by many as “brother duets” from the early days of Bluegrass & Old Time music. Although not actual brothers, Jay and his cousin Woody have a vocal match that make the family roots ring true. These special guests will be playing a variety of instruments and tunes from the 1940’s, 50’s, and 60’s as well as demonstrating the way harmony singing goes hand-in-hand with traditional songs and instrumentals. Our cousins in concert will also be hosting an open discussion about the heritage of family singing in Southern Maryland, questions from the
