State Transportation Secretary: Solomons Bridge is Safe and There’s No Money By Dick Myers Editor The Maryland Department of Transportation’s annual “road show” pulled into Calvert County Oct. 29 to meet with the county commissioners. Transportation Secretary Pete Rahn appeared in the meeting room with his administration heads. But, the 800-pound gorilla in the room was the Governor Thomas Johnson Bridge. “We have a number of bridges that are older and in need of construction that are ahead of it,” Rahn said. “We would not allow anyone to drive on the bridge if it wasn’t safe. It is 100-percent safe. It is inconvenient.” Delegate Jerry Clark (R: 29C) said he remained optimistic. He said if the state can find ways to save money as they did with the Nice/Middleton Bridge, then someone in Rahn’s agency can also find creative ways to make it happen. He said his hope was “sometime in my lifetime I will see a new bridge started if not completed.” Rahn responded, “I am not going to play a game I know I can’t deliver.” He

added though, “If I and my staff can figure out a way to do it, we will do it.” Rahm insisted regarding the bridge, “It’s othe radar. It’s being constantly reviewed. Rahn did come bearing some good news. He said after study, a safety project for Route 231 had been approved. Two left turn lanes will be added to Route 231 at the Mason Road intersection. He said design of that project is approved for 2021. Rahn said the Routes 2/4 widening project will be completed next summer and the Fishing Creek Bridge project in Chesapeake Beach next spring. Chesapeake Beach Mayor Pat Mahoney spoke at the meeting and urged the state to help the town with its walkability goal to connect various parts of the town with sidewalks, especially for the new Beach Elementary School. Speaking of the Gov. Harry Nice Bridge, recently renamed the Nice/ Middleton Bridge after outgoing Sen. Thomas “Mac” Middleton, construction of a new parallel two-lane span north of the existing bridge is scheduled to begin in 2020 with completion

Early Voting Paces Ahead of Four Years Ago Republican Registrations Continue to Pull Ahead By Dick Myers Editor

Early voting in Calvert County was pacing well ahead of four years ago at the end of Monday, with five of the eight days concluded. “We have had a good turnout all week,” Calvert County Board of Elections Acting Executive Administrative Assistant Kristen Scott told The County Times right before our Tuesday deadline. Scott said as of close of voting on Monday, Democrats had bested Republicans in early voting by 2,248 to 2,047. Adding in 591 unaffiliated voters along with small numbers of Green, Libertarian and Other voters, the total turnout was 4,937compared 4,637 for all eight days four years ago for the last non-presidential election in Calvert County. There are 65,256 registered voters in Calvert County. That breaks down to 27,415 Republicans, 23,881 Democrats, 13,185 Unaffiliated, 480 Libertarian, 120 Green, and 383 listed as Other. Both Democrats and Republicans showed gains over the June 9 primary election totals. Republicans increased by 585 vot-

ers and Democrats by 287, further widening the GOP lead that until October of 2012 was held by the Democrats. Republican Central Committee Chair Ella Ennis told The County Times before the primary election in June that the reason for the reversal was, “I think people were concerned about the rising taxes. They were concerned about the loss of individual freedom. The atmosphere of intolerance with other people with whom they don’t agree.” Democrats on the other hand, hope in the Nov. 6 election to tap the discontent on the part of some people with President Donald Trump and what he has done in his first two years. They contend he has been stirring that atmosphere of intolerance. Thursday, Nov. 1 is the final day of early voting and the polls are open until 8 p.m. The polling places accompanying this article are open Tuesday, Nov. 6 from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. dickmyers@countytimes.net

Town Councilmen Compete for North Beach Mayor By Dick Myers Editor

North Beach voters will have a choice of two existing town councilman for their mayor for the next four years. When voters go to the polls at the town hall on Nov. 6 they will get to pick between Randy Hummel or Mike Benton to replace Mayor Mark Frazer, who has decided not to run for re-election. Benton did not respond to The County Times calls or emails to arrange a time for an interview with him Hummel, 64, has served on the council for more than 23 years during two different time spans, 1986 to 1994 and then again from 2002 to the present. He had an unsuccessful bid for mayor against Frazer in 1998. Hummel has lived in North Beach since 1985. He is a retired teacher with the Prince George’s County Public Schools. Hummel explained during an Oct. 27 interview with The County Times at the town hall that his wife Jennifer worked with a town councilman. “He said, ‘Come on down and see where I live.’ And we came down and within, I’m going to say two months we had moved here. It was a cool place.” He was originally from rural western Pennsylvania and he fit right in to the town’s pace. Accomplishments as a councilman that he is especially proud of include buying the pier and the beach from private ownership. “ The pier was unusable at that time,” he said. Also, “We put in a water system and we partnered with the county and Chesapeake Beach to expand and upgrade the sewer system and in the last couple years with enhanced nutrient removal. Street paving and flood management have been other accomplishments, he said. And he was involved in the construction phase of the Boys and Girls Club on land owned by the town and leased to the club North Beach has changed dramatically since he moved to town, Hummel observed. “This was essentially a summertime community. Many of the homes were rentals with livability issues.” He added, “That was one of the things (a livability code) that I’m most proud of. I guess we made living here a lot better.” Regarding infrastructure needs, Hummel noted that correcting the flooding on Atlantic Avenue and 9th Street is about ready to get underway by the state. The town is working with the state for an elevated walkway along the new bridge. Hummel is optimistic that the town will prevail and become the new library site , but if so some parking will be used up. He observed, “I’m slowly coming around and this will cost me votes, so we may end up having to build some sort of parking structure.” One possibie location, he said, is the public parking lot behind Chesapeake Bounty.

Another infrastructure issue, he said, is the need for an updated, comprehensive paving plan. “The roads quite honestly are starting to wear out since the last repaving.” North Beach mayoral He also said candidate Randy Hummel he has what could be called a “pie in the sky” objective. He explained, “We have three vacant, high-dollar, large commercial lots in town that have been empty in some cases, one in particular, for 70 years. The other one’s for 30 years, 15 years.” His goal is to encourage the owners to either sell them or develop them for commercial uses. Hummel said he was asked by a potential business enterprise if there was commercial property available in town and he had to truthfully tell them. “There is no vacant retail space in town.” Hummel talked about his relationship with Mayor Frazer. “I will say that for much of that time, the relationship between Mayor Fraser and myself has been, to use a common word, antagonistic for a lot of different reasons.” He said that started in 2002 when he ran again because he felt some council members weren’t doing their homework and making poor decisions. “I will say our first couple of years in that term things were wacky, but Mark, I think, knew where I was coming from. I kind of knew where he was coming from and since then, many of the proposals that he’s put forward, I have agreed with and in those that I have disagreed with, I have voiced my opposition.” Hummel said of challenges facing his town: “Continuing to maintain this as a welcoming and attractive place for visitors.” He noted though there needs to be a balance in limiting tourism’s impact on residents, which he said occurs largely during special events. As for those tourists, he said, “They come here for the beach and they have to want to come here and we need for them to come here. We need them to come here to have our businesses be successful because most of them are tourist-based.” Being retired, Hummel feels he can devote full-time to being mayor and make himself available to town staff and citizens. “There’s not really a whole lot that I do that is going to distract me,” he opined. Hummel said if elected he will set up regular times of several-hour duration for town citizens to stop by town hall and talk to him about any concerns they may have. dickmyers@countytimes.net

Environmental Calamity in Southern Maryland

Morgantown sends poison dust southward.

We must replace our fossil-fuel electrical generation plants with renewable wind and solar power. The developed world is way ahead of us in this regard. The planet is facing environmental disaster as a result of burning fossil fuels while our country refuses to join international efforts to reign it in and continues to invest and rely on filthy energy.

We should put a hefty price on carbon emissions and incentivize our citizens and businesses to reduce their carbon footprints. Southern Maryland is home to two of the state’s nine dinosaur-age coal-fired electrical generation plants: Morgantown on the Potomac and Chalk Point on the Patuxent. They produce almost half of the state’s coal-fired energy. The winds sprinkling a powder of cancerous dust over us, poisoning people, the air, water, and land. Within the next three years, six large fossil fuel power plants Morgantown is just off the map, will be operating in Southern to the southwest. (CNN) Maryland, representing the largest concentration anywhere in the country. In addition to Chalk Point and Morgantown, the Brandywine Power Facility and CPV St. Charles Energy Center burn natural gas; and two more natural gas plants are under construction: Panda Mattawoman Power and PSEG Keys Energy Center. We should be transitioning to clean, renewable energy! The Navy is a major polluter

Southern Maryland is also home to two EPA Superfund sites. The Indian Head Naval Surface Warfare Center continues its 75-year history of dumping and burning hazardous waste products. It will cost taxpayers more than $250 million to clean up, while pollution at the Naval Air Station - Patuxent River will end up costing taxpayers more than $100 million.

Indian Head Cleaning up after the Navy.

The Navy open burns metal objects contaminated with explosives and propellants at Indian Head. Combined with the Naval Warfare Center - Dahlgren, the two sites sprinkle contaminants over the water, farms and fields of Southern Maryland.

The Navy has also polluted the groundwater, surface water, and the soil at Pax River. The list includes astonishing amounts of mercury and lead. Because the US government considers domestic military bases to be “federal reservations,” state environmental regulations don’t apply. They should. Rep. Hoyer has been silent. After all, he collects campaign cash from the owners of most of these plants and from defense contractors who share responsibility for the environmental catastrophe. We must clean up our political campaigns - and our air, land, and water.

Budget Secretary Visits Calvert Survey Finds Healthy

Striped Bass Reproduction

Maryland Secretary of Budget and Management David Brinkley tours the Patterson House at Jefferson Patterson Park and Museum Oct. 26 on a tour of state projects throughout Southern Maryland. Acting Director Rachelle Green talks about the need to box up all the items in the house for modernization and renovation; the structure was built in 1932 and gifted to the state in 1984 by Mary Marvin Patterson to honor her husband Jefferson Patterson, a diplomat and gentleman farmer. Brinkley also toured the MAC Laboratory, which serves as a repository of the state’s archaeological artifacts. -Guy Leonard

The Maryland Department of Natural Resources announced results of its annual young-of-year striped bass survey in Chesapeake Bay, which documented healthy reproduction of the state fish. The 2018 young-of-year index is 14.8, higher than the 65-year average of 11.8. Known locally as rockfish, striped bass spawn in Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries each spring. The juvenile striped bass survey is conducted annually to measure spawning success and help predict future abundance. The index represents the average number of young-of-year – those hatched in the current year – striped bass captured in each sample. During this year’s survey, department biologists collected more than 36,000 fish of 55 species, including 1,951 young-ofyear striped bass. Results show that white perch and American shad also experienced above-average spawning success this spring. “Consecutive years of healthy reproduction is a great sign for the future of this iconic species,” Fishing and Boating Services Director David Blazer said. “The survey results are encouraging and complement our efforts to conserve and protect the striped bass fishery throughout

Twenty-two survey sites are located in the four major spawning systems: Choptank, Potomac and Nanticoke rivers and Upper Chesapeake Bay. Biologists visit each site three times during the summer, collecting fish with two sweeps of a 100-foot beach seine net. The fish are evaluated for age, size and other factors, and then returned to the water. The Virginia Institute of Marine Science conducts a similar survey in the southern portion of Chesapeake.

Town Seeks More Funds for Energy Savings Waiting List Now Open for Additional Grants By Dick Myers Editor

A new program for needy county residents to make their homes more energy efficient has proven so popular that the available grant funds have dried up. But, the Town of North Beach, that secured the funding and is administering the program, has applied for more monies to help more people. The program, that is open to all county residents and not just those living in North Beach, is called the “Healthy Living Program.” The town became a “Sustainable Community” in 2014, with certification from the State of Maryland and Sustainable Maryland. Under the leadership of Veronica Owens, the town’s development specialist, the town applied for a $100,000 grant from the Maryland Energy Administration (MEA). Because the town was new to the program, Owens said MEA only awarded $25,000. They are hoping to get that $100,000 from a next round of funding. The available grant money was quickly gobbled up by about eight residents who used the monies for new furnaces, appliances and retrofitting. The intent

is to lower the homeowner’s energy bills, thus making it easier for them to keep warm in the winter. Mayor Mark Frazer said, “By making improvements in a sustainable and energyefficient way, we can all look forward to Calvert County reducing their carbon footprint one home at a time.” The program does have income requirements. According to the program guidelines; “The property must be owner-occupied , in Calvert County and priority will be given to families who earn 85 percent or less of the average median income, and veterans. In Calvert, the median income ranges from $65,700 for one person to $108,8000 for a fiveperson household. Owens said those taken care of with the first round of funding live all over

“I will work with the offer a good educati training, and reachi Margaret Phipps happen. It will imp Calvert County. But not all were able to be taken care of who applied. So, Owens has a word of caution for anyone wanting to take advantage of the next round of funding – get on the waiting list now. Those interested can call the town office, go to their website or drop by to pick up

an application. Owens expects to hear back from the state on their request for an additional $100,000 for the Healthy Living Program sometime in March of next year. dickmyers@countytimes.net

Lusby Man Dies in Motorcycle Crash Deputies from the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office Patrol Bureau and Crash Reconstruction Team responded on Oct. 28 at approximately 10:07 p.m., to a single vehicle crash on Catalina Drive located in the Chesapeake Ranch Estates. Preliminary Investigation of the collision revealed a 2006 Harley Davidson motorcycle operated by Bobby Price Jr, 57, of Lusby, was traveling northbound on Catalina Drive when the vehicle left the roadway for unknown reasons. The motorcycle entered the ditch along the northbound lane and collided with a drainage pipe vaulting the motorcycle and Price Jr. approximately 50 feet before crashing into the yard of a private residence.

Optimist Club of Calvert Celebrates the Big 5-0

From left to right, remaining charter members and all past presidents: Bill Schwallenberg, Bob Chaney, Philip Mohler, Spencer Howes.

By Dick Myers Editor

The year was 1968. A new house cost $14,975 and a new car cost $2,822. People went to the movies to see “2001: A

Space Odyssey” and “The Graduate.” They were listening to “Hey Jude” and “Harper Valley PTA” and watching the Summer Olympics. Dr. Martin Luther King was assassinated on April 4th in Memphis and Robert Kennedy on June

APPROACHABLE COMMITTED ACCOUNTABLE http://www.jackbaileyforstatesenate.com

From the Desk of Governor Larry Hogan

As Governor, I’ve relied on good people to help me get things done these past four years. As your State Senator, Jack will work closely with me to continue to put our state back on track. Over the past four years, we have added more than 100,000 jobs to our economy. More businesses are open, and more Marylanders are working now than at any other time in our history. Taxes and tolls are lower now than they were four years ago. We have restored fiscal responsibility in Annapolis, passing four balanced budgets in a row with no new taxes and we have consistently funded K–12 education at record levels. I’m proud to also report that our economy is now among the strongest in the nation, and that the Chesapeake Bay is the healthiest it’s been in a generation. Now Jack Bailey is running to be St. Mary’s and Calvert County’s next State Senator, and I’m asking you to support him this November! I’m proud of the work we have done over these past four years. But there are still big challenges ahead, and the reality is that I can’t fix our problems alone. Jack is someone who will always put the priorities of his constituents over the interests of Annapolis insiders and special interests. He’s a leader we can trust. That’s why I’m asking you to please vote for Jack Bailey for State Senate this November 6! Sincerely, Larry Hogan Governor

Optimist Club of Calvert President Krista Brezina.

5th in Los Angeles. A memorable event in Calvert County’s history also happened that year but it had its genesis a year earlier in Parkville near Baltimore. In 1967 Phil Moehler was working in Baltimore County and met Bill Price, a member of the Parkville Optimist Club and later Optimist International VP. Optimist clubs don’t just happen; an existing club must nurture them. And that’s exactly what happened the next year when Moehler, Jim King and a group of dedicated countians formed the Optimist Club of Calvert. The date was October 7, 1968.The new club was chartered with 29 members. On Oct. 27 at the Calvert County Fairgrounds that 50th birthday was celebrated with a gathering of some of those charter members plus many who have served along the way. It was a time to reminisce. Indeed, four of those charter members, Moehler along with Bill Schwallenberg, Bob Chaney and Spencer Howe, all past presidents, sat at a table and told tales about the old days, including treks to Pennsylvania to gather Christmas trees for resale back home as a way to support the fledgling club. “We have accomplished a lot. We are doing a lot now and our future looks very bright,” immediate past president Jack Brown succinctly summed up the 50 years for the crowd assembled in the fair social hall. Optimist clubs focus on providing programs for the youth. According to a history of the club in the 50th Anniversary program, “Some of our earliest community projects included putting up basketball nets at various churches, installing football goal posts at Calvert Senior High School, installing a flagpole at the Fairgrounds and painting the horse ring at the Fairgrounds.” Along the way, according to the his-

tory, “Members of the Calvert Optimist Club helped to put the Little League back on its feet and did the umpiring for Little League until Parks and Recreation could get their umpiring program under way.” One example of youth helped in the club’s early days was Greg Bowen, who with much trepidation entered their oratorical contest, won and went on to become a community leader, including director of the county’s planning department. A letter from Bowen was read at the event. The club’s biggest fundraiser every year has been the Christmas tree sales. And, it’s most visible gifts to the community have been their annual scholarships, now awarded to three county high school seniors for a total of $17,000. In the club’s early days, women were considered to be like auxiliary members, assisting the men. Today they are an integral part of the cub. The first woman president was Pearl Miller in 20042005 and this year’s president is Krista Brezina. The club president noted that two junior Optimist clubs have been formed, at Calvert and Huntingtown high schools. She said they were the club’s future. The club’s financial future is also sound, according to Edward Dorsey, who heads the clubs fundraising foundation “We have a lot of money,” he boasted. New programs on the horizon for the club include: a youth film festival, a poster contest with the Boys and Girls Club of Southern Maryland, “Do the Right Thing” awards for elementary school students, an art contest for high school students and participating in National Night Out. dickmyers@countytimes.net

Statistically about 50% of the local population have dental insurance. Of that percentage only 50% of them properly use the dental benefits they are paying for. Most of them have no idea what benefits they have and how easy it is to lose them. To make the most of their dental benefits the consumer needs to understand how dental insurance works.

who pay for dental insurance every year but never go to the dentist are writing a free check to the insurance company. The insurance companies are keeping the money they’ve earmarked for preventative care as well as the entire annual maximum for those patients. Putting off dentistry until it hurts could easily escalate to $5000 worth of treatment or much more in one year. The dental insurance company will only contribute $1500 because that is the average maximum on any given plan which leaves the out-of-pocket due at $3500 for the insured individual in this example. Whereas, had they gone to the dentist every year and had the work done as needed over the course of four years, their out-of-pocket may have been zero, as the $1500 per year ($1500 x 4 years = $6000) would have covered $6000 over the four year period.

Museum Relaunches Camp Canoe Rain Drives Trunk or Treat Inside

Old Town Camp Canoe – pictured left to right is Ed Kobrinski, Al Rondina, Ray Brule, George Surgent, Bill Wright, Tony Pettit, and Brian Forsyth. Photo courtesy Augie Selckmann.

The vintage 25-foot Old Town Camp Canoe was relaunched on Tuesday at the Calvert Marine Museum (CMM) after spending many years in storage. Patuxent Small Craft Guild (PSCG) volunteers have been restoring this beauty for the past eight months. Built in Maine in 1960, this classic canvas canoe was used for years at YMCA summer camps in Calvert County. The canoe first hit the water at Camp Druid Hill on the Patuxent River near Huntingtown, Maryland. Camp Druid Hill was a residential summer camp for African American youths from Baltimore and is now King’s Landing Park. These large canoes, sometimes referred to as war canoes, were very popular at summer camps and were used to teach water safety and the importance of teamwork to children. The 25-foot model seats an experienced paddler in the bow and stern and a crew of up to 12 campers. When the camp closed, the wooden boat was retired. In the late 1970’s, Au-

gie Selckmann, Calvert County resident and avid canoe paddler, picked up the canoe at an auction for a mere $25. He covered it with fiberglass and it was later sold to George Surgent, the museum’s Boatwright. The PSCG volunteers have replaced several broken ribs and split planks, made new decks and inner and outer stems, stripped the fiberglass and re-canvased the boat. “This addition to the museum’s collection allows our mission to continue. This model fosters teamwork and we are excited about the educational programming opportunities it offers,” said Mark Wilkins, Curator of Maritime History. See the Patuxent Small Craft Guild members at work on Tuesdays and Saturdays from 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. in the Patuxent Small Craft Center. For more information about the canoe, contact George Surgent at gsurgent@comcast.net.

Bowen’s Grocery: Preserving the Country Life Adapting to a Changing, Growing Community

By Dick Myers Editor Bowen’s Grocery in Huntingtown is a beloved Calvert County institution that will be celebrating its 90th year in 2019. But this bastion of rural ways has its roots in the city (Baltimore) and under a name unfamiliar to all but the area’s oldest residents. The store owned by Gordon and Gracie Bowen was started by Gordon’s grandparents, Frederick and Frances Mogck. They had operated a grocery store and slaughter house in Baltimore but lost it during the Great Depression. So, in 1929 they moved back to her home county of Calvert to set up shop on a corner lot in decidedly rural Huntingtown. The store was quite naturally called Mogck’s Store. The store was in a humble wood structure at the same exact location where Bowen’s stands today. It was then, as it is now, a community gathering spot and it was then as it is now a place to go for any number of needs. Then it was an ice cream parlor and post office. In the late 1940s, according to a short history of the enterprise, “The wood structure was moved on logs across the road to a lot on what is now Thanksgiving Lane. A cinder block building was constructed to replace the wood building . It still stands today with several additions over the years.” Gordon and Gracie Bowen bought the business from his grandmother in 1964 and changed the name to Bowens Grocery. The store was in Gordon’s blood. He had worked there growing up. His parents had no interest in it. Gordon and Gracie met at what was then the only high school in the county, Calvert Junior and Senior High School. “She chased me into it. Couldn’t run,” quipped Gordon about their getting married which was three years before the couple bought the store. It was

a joint decision and the seven days a week has been shared ever since. What attracted Gordon to the grocery store business? “I’m a people person and I did not want to raise tobacco. That’s hard,” Gordon explained about Calvert’s “money crop” as being the only other option for young men back then. The store that the Bowens took over in 1964 was much smaller and so was the community of Huntingtown. And there were similar stores all over the county. But, they are the only one of its kind left. “We try to make it work, so we keep the contact with it (the community) and we’ve done that pretty good,” Gordon humbly explained. Part of that support is giving back to the community, something that the larger chain stores that have come into the community may not have done. “We’ve always tried to support schools and that’s another thing that the stores, I don’t think they do.” Walking into Bowen’s Grocery is like walking into a convenience store on steroids. The Bowens admit that most of their shoppers don’t buy all of their groceries there and that’s why they have adapted over time to provide specialty items that other stores don’t have, in addition to things people would normally pick up on their way home. “People come in to pick up the odds and ends. That’s what keeps us going,” Gordon explained. They do have meats and produce and an expanded deli which is very busy during lunch time, serving sandwiches and daily specials, such as the popular meat loaf and seafood on Friday, and rotisserie chicken. And there’s that beer cave to the side and an extensive wine selection to quench your thirst. But, when one walks into the store their senses are assaulted with unusual items such as bakery goods from Pennsylvania Dutch country, gathered up by the

Bowens on their regular pleasure trips to Lancaster County. Those treats also include items like homemade chicken pot pie and Shoefly pie. One whole aisle is stacked with dozens of individually packaged candies of all types, evoking the old penny candy bins available at the country stores in olden times. The Bowens buy the candy in bulk and package it themselves. Another aisle is filled with canned preserves, jellies, jams, relishes and pickled veggies. It’s the combination of the usual and the unusual that keeps people coming back, the Bowens say. Their son, Dale, and grandson and other family members are continuing in the family tradition. And finding competent help outside the family is their continuing biggest challenge. The couple share the buying chores also with their son, who does the meat purchasing. “Oh, he’s a big positive and he’s a firefighter (with Huntingtown VFD). He was their president,” Gracie said. Gordon was asked what he was most proud of about his store’s success. He quickly responded: “Support of the community.” That community support has been recently evident in their opposition to a proposed chain convenience store in Huntingtown. Another example, Graice said, “We have two drawers out there. Customers drop money in there and that’s what’s paying for the new (community) Christmas lights.” The newcomers to the community quickly take to their store. “You’d be surprised. A lot of the new people come in and they say they like it. That’s what they are here for. That’s what they were attracted to the county to begin with. That’s why they are here and this is part of it. They came down for the schools and a way of life,” Gordon said. dickmyers@countytimes.net.

Maryland Launches School Safety Tip Line Governor Larry Hogan recently launched “Safe Schools Maryland,” a tip line and mobile app designed to streamline reporting of possible threats to students and school facilities. The school safety tip line is coordinated by the Maryland Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) in partnership with the Maryland Center for School Safety. Calvert County Superintendent of Schools Dr. Daniel D. Curry said, “This adds another way for students and staff to say something if they see something.” According to a press release from MEMA, Governor Hogan said, “Incidents of targeted violence at our schools are rarely sudden impulsive acts; instead, in the majority of these incidents, another person was aware of what the student was thinking or planning to do. We must remain ever vigilant when it comes to protecting our kids, and we are counting on our local school communities, our students, teachers, and parents to work together with us in these important efforts.” In many recent school violence incidents or threats, assailants have exhibited behavior that signaled a potential for violent activity or discussed such activity on social media. Some potential incidents around the country have been thwarted because alert students, parents, school

staff, or others reported suspicious behaviors to appropriate authorities. Students, family members, parents, teachers, administrators, and other community members can anonymously report information to Safe Schools Maryland via a mobile app available for download through the Apple App Store or Google Play, online at www.SafeSchoolsMD. org, or by calling 1-833-MD-B-SAFE (1833-632-7233). Trained technicians will respond to reports 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. MEMA has trained existing staff and is hiring new staff to ensure that tip line calls and reports are answered 24/7. The tip line staff will share incoming information with appropriate school system officials and staff; law enforcement personnel; fire, emergency, behavioral health, and medical staff; and other partners to help prevent violent or dangerous incidents at schools around the state and provide assistance to students in crisis. Students, parents, teachers, administrative staff, and others should be vigilant and report any activity that makes them feel uncomfortable, nervous, or frightened about the safety of their school, themselves, or others.

CSM Foundation Commemorates 60 Years Event Included Decades if Community, Alumni College of Southern Maryland (CSM) Foundation members, faculty and staff recently joined alumni and the Southern Maryland community to mark CSM’s 60th anniversary with a spirited “Diamond Decade Mania” bash. The festive fundraising event raised more than $300,000 for CSM student scholarships and student services. Hundreds of party-goers were on hand for the Sept. 29 celebration to witness scholarship presentations, and enjoy a

diamond necklace raffle, live music by BackFin Band, beverages from Quality Street Kitchen and Catering and a wide variety of food trucks. It was an evening made memorable by the many attendees who came in costumes representing their favorite decade. “It was 60 years ago on Sept. 17, that CSM, the Charles County Junior College, opened its doors of higher education to everyone in Southern Maryland,” shared CSM President Dr. Maureen Murphy

when she kicked off the evening’s festivities. “As the college’s fifth president in 60 years, every day I see the value that the College of Southern Maryland brings to our community. “There is so much pride associated with this college and for good reason,” she continued. “CSM was named one of the top 150 community colleges in America by the Aspen Institute last year. We have celebrated 27,000 graduates. We serve more than 23,000 students each year and we have more than 1,300 employees working in three counties across four campuses.” Touting the success of CSM’s Kids and Teen College, career and workforce training and the cultural and personal enrichment programs offered throughout the year in Southern Maryland, Murphy added, “as a newcomer to this college and region, all of you have made me feel welcome, as if I have spent my lifetime here. It is easy to fall in love with CSM and this community.” Among the many highlights of the evening were congratulatory speeches made by House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer, Maryland Del. Edith Patterson and Maryland Senator and 1965 CSM Alumnus Thomas “Mac’ Middleton. Also recognized were former Maryland State Senator and Charles County Commissioner Jim Simpson and former State Delegate, Charles County Commissioner and CSM Trustee Emeritus Danny Mayer. During the event, Middleton presented a check to establish the Joseph Donovan Middleton, Class of 1967 Memorial Endowed Scholarship, to honor his late brother. “Your generosity and investment in CSM, impacts many lives, many families and the prosperity of our region,” acknowledged CSM Foundation Board Chair Nancy Hempstead. Hempstead took the stage to recognize 1975 Alumnus and Foundation Director Emeritus Jay Lilly, his wife Mary Lilly, and 1976 Alumnus Joel Lilly for their planned gifts toward scholarships at CSM. The college recently named the lobby, wing and conference room in the Community Education (CE) Building at the La Plata Campus in recognition of the Lilly family and their legacy gifts totaling $500,000. The various rooms were

named in honor of them, and in memory of Jay and Joel’s parents Ethelmae and Reuben. Current CSM Foundation Director Dr. Ila Shah and her husband Dr. Vinod K. Shah – like the Lilly family and Charles County Attorney Hammad Matin – were also ‘Diamond Sponsors’ of the milestone event. The Shahs presented Hempstead with a $100,000 gift to mark Vinod recent birthday – funds which will support scholarships for nursing and allied health programs. Matin and his family gave the CSM Foundation $100,000 in memory of their mother Shaheen A. Matin, who graduated from CSM in 1990. Her memorial scholarship will support scholarships for early childhood and childcare programs. The Diamond Decade Mania bash was one of several signature events held during 2018 to celebrate CSM’s 60th Anniversary, including special concerts, the Inauguration of CSM President Murphy, the CSM 60th Birthday Bash at the Blue Crab Stadium presented by CSM Alumni & Friends Connection and 60th birthday celebrations at all four campuses. CSM’s story began when the Charles County Junior College was established as part of the continuing expansion of the community college in America. At its inception in 1958, the college was governed by the Charles County Board of Education, with the first classes conducted at La Plata High School in the evenings. The Friendly Hall Campus, which is now the La Plata Campus, was established in 1968. The college expanded its services to St. Mary’s County in 1978 and Calvert County in 1980. Today, CSM is a regionally accredited community college that provides programs and services with a special focus on local workforce development to maintain and grow a healthy economy and community. CSM serves more than 23,000 credit and continuing education students at its campuses located in Hughesville, La Plata, Leonardtown and Prince Frederick, as well as a Higher Education Center shared with University of Maryland University College in Waldorf and a Center for Transportation Training in La Plata.

Holiday Wine Tasting Back for a Third Year

Photo by Tim Flaherty

By Tim Flaherty Staff Writer “My philosophy has always been to drink what you like!”

Sharon Hall. Photo credit to Susan Purdy.

So started my conversation with Bay Wine and Spirits proprietor Sharon Hall when I asked her about the importance of choosing a wine to match a meal. We were speaking in advance of her shop’s

upcoming Holiday Wine Tasting on November 17th, an event that is free for all wine lovers of legal drinking age. This will be the third year for the Holiday Wine Tasting at the store’s location at 9100 Bay Avenue in North Beach “A wine that compliments your holiday meal is not always important to all customers,” Hall continued. “This particular time of year, people tend to gravitate to Sauvignon Blanc, dry Riesling, or Gewurztraminer, as well as Rosé or Pinot Noir.” But if you are one of those drinkies or foodies for whom wine and food pairing IS important to you anytime you uncork a bottle or reach for that appetizer tray, then the November 17th tasting is for you. Hall is bringing in three experts from three of her suppliers to speak not only on food pairings, but on selecting the perfect wine gift for your holiday host or hostess. “I’ve worked with these amazing women for over eight years,” Hall says of her expert speakers. “They’re highly skilled in presenting their product and they have an excellent awareness of the qualities I’m looking to offer my customers.” Hall purchased Bay Wine and Spirits several years ago after having been a part-time employee for a number of years. Under her supervision, Bay Wine and Spirits has become a destination unto itself in bayside North Beach. The shop attracts wine lovers who come by just to try a glass or pick up a case of their favorites. Although a small space, nearly a quarter of the room is occupied by stuffed sofas and comfy-looking chairs where shoppers have a glass and a chat while Hall regales them with stories about wine and food. This laid-back, wine-infused ambience has turned her

store into a favorite stop for locals and for visitors. North Beach has a nascent, up-andcoming foodie vibe to it, something many town boosters have been yearning for since its rough-and-tumble days of the post slot-machine era of the 1950’s and ‘60’s. One of the signs of this transformation is the new Hook and Vine Restaurant, which opened earlier this year just around the corner from Bay Wine and Spirits. Hall is having staff from Hook and Vine at the wine tasting, and they will be serving some of their restaurant’s samples to help with the pairing demonstration. Hall said the Holiday Wine Tasting will feature 12 wines coming from the three represented distributors. “I handpicked the wines in an effort to have a variety of wines to pair with a meal or offer as a hostess gift. The most important tip I can offer for selecting a host or hostess gift is to know, in advance, the host’s favorite wines. Do they prefer red or white? Do they like a sweeter selection? Secondarily, have a price point in mind. With that information, you can easily pick the perfect gift. And I’ll be here to help!” In addition to the 12 wines being served, the event will also include a Bourbon tasting. Two bourbons will be available, and a food-paring expert from one of Hall’s suppliers will speak and answer questions about the venerable American spirit and help in pairing it with foods and holiday gatherings. The Holiday Wine Tasting will run from 4pm – 7pm. There is limited parallel parking on Bay Avenue, but two large Town parking lots are available a halfblock away just off 5th St. timflaherty@countytimes.net

Letter to the Editor

The Calvert County Times

IF YOU HAVEInAOur LIVING Community TRUST, PLEASE READ THIS

If you have created a living trust, you have already taken steps to avoid the probate process. The concept of the living trust is to re-title all of a person’s assets into the name of their trust so that when they die they are not holding any assets in their sole name and therefore there is no probate. But, beware. A living trust is just what it says—a living document. If you have a living trust you must make sure you have (1) placed all your assets into the name of your trust; and (2) kept your trust and beneficiary designations up to date. PLACING YOUR ASSETS INTO YOUR LIVING TRUST So many times clients have come to see me proudly holding their binders for their living trusts. Upon review, I have found that the client’s assets are not in the trust and, without that, the assets must go through the probate process to get to loved ones. Unfortunately, many people who have living trusts die without realizing that they have not funded their trusts and their loved ones then have to go through the probate process— something their living trusts are intended to prevent. For example, you must re-title your house into the name of your living trust through filing a new deed to the house. The house will not technically be moved into the trust by simply saying so in the trust document. The same holds true for your other assets. Each asset is different, but the approach must be the same— fill out all required forms to technically re-title the asset. How does it happen that some clients have no assets in their trusts? Some attorneys that create living trusts require that their clients take all the steps necessary to re-title the assets into the name of the trust. I recommend you do not obtain a living trust without assurances that the attorney will prepare all transfers of your assets into the trust. This is not something you should try to do yourself. First, life often intervenes in plans and clients do not have the time or knowledge to figure out how to re-title their assets. Second, moving assets can be complicated with various forms to fill out that are confusing. The clients should not have to do work to fund their trusts. They attorneys should do that work for the clients. The practical effect of having the client do the work to fund the trust is that clients do not re-title the assets. Don’t let this be your reality. If you already have a living trust, make

sure all your assets have been retitled into the name of your living trust. And, don’t forget. If you acquire a new piece of real property, acquire it in the name of the trust so that you do not need to file a separate deed to re-title it. Most attorneys will provide you with an affidavit of trust to enable you to provide a document to the title company so that they can title the property in the name of your trust. KEEP YOUR LIVING TRUST UP TO DATE In our practice, we meet with clients every three years to update their trusts. Why? We want to make sure that the clients have not purchased an asset (like a house, for example) in their sole name. If they have, we will take steps to prepare a deed to transfer the house into the name of their trust. Often, clients’ wishes will change over time. Clients that have named certain beneficiaries for their estates may wish to change the names of beneficiaries. Beneficiaries may die and precipitate a change. Investments and brokers may change. Retirement funds may change, etc. Whatever it is, you must keep on top of the changes in your life by including the changes in your living trust package. If you do not, there may be terrible consequences. For example, one married couple prepared a living trust and the wife died leaving her share to the husband. The husband remarried but the trust was never changed to reflect this. On the death of the husband, part of the estate went to the relatives of the first wife. It isn’t difficult to amend a trust to make changes. The concept of a living trust is to avoid the hassles of the probate process and create a very easy transition for loved ones when you die. But the transition is only going to be an easy one is the trust is up to date. If you have not reviewed your living trust in more than three years, do it now.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Supporting Kelly McConkey To the Editor: I do not think the reasons you stated for supporting Holly Budd over Kelly McConkey to represent the Third District on the Calvert County Board of Commissioners were fair. You stated that you support her because of her gender and because she has a strong business background, while he has been ineffective on the school board because he is not outspoken. It is blatantly sexist to support any candidate because of their gender. And it is doubly so to give credit to a woman for owning a large business, while giving no credit to a man for doing so too. In addition, you turned Mr. McConkey’s long history of serving Calvert County into a negative. In fact, it is a strong positive. He was President of the Optimist Club, served on the board of United Way, and served two terms on the school board, among other things. People who did their homework before running for County Commissioner, quietly working in the background in a variety of positions, deserve our praise and support. No doubt, Ms. Budd has served the County too. But, if what you have done is the measure of who you are and what you will do, then Kelly McConkey has earned a spot on the Board of Commissioners.

Outdoor Enthusiasts Have Yet Another Way to Give Back

The Beautiful Formula Inside the Lines By Ronald N. Guy Jr. Contributing Writer This was cued up to be a screed about a sports fan’s mid-life crisis. While watching MLB’s playoffs this year, he found himself alternating between mumbling under his breath and barking loudly at the television odd behavior given he had no rooting interest or particular disdain for the participants. He loves baseball, a game that is as much thought as played. Between pitches, stuff happens – lots of stuff. Pitches are called, defensive alignments are set, runners are checked and batters look for clues about the pitcher’s next offering. When the ball is in play, the game is a masterpiece of moving parts. Properly choreographed defensive play is elegant. Something as simple as running the bases – the angles, the feel for time and distance, knowing an opponent’s arm strength and sound sliding techniques – is an undervalued, highly trained skill. Many of those fundamentals are eroding in this obsessed-with-thelong-ball era. That bothers him, but what really sticks in his crawl is the lack of an assumed fundamental – hustle. It’s not just Manny Machado; at least he admits to dogging it. Few players really bust it down the line, and on batted balls to the outfield, many don’t run hard until they’re half way down the first base line. And this is in the playoffs. If you can’t hustle then, then when? But his…my…mid-life crisis as a sports fan seems trivial now. Frankly, it doesn’t matter at all, not given recent events. A white man killed two African Americans in a grocery store after trying to enter a largely African American church. Another man allegedly sent a series of bombs to former democratic presidents and political opponents of the current president. Then an anti-Semite entered a Pittsburgh synagogue and murdered 11 people in their place of worship. This horror happened over three days in the United States of America. The violence, depth of hate and loss of innocent lives is difficult to process. Sports seem insignificant in times like these. But there is still something

important in these games - and it has nothing to do with effort or even the score. Over the years, this column has been nothing if not an on-going commentary about how sports inform, challenge and inspire our everyday lives. While watching the World Series in the aftermath of the recent acts of domestic terrorism, I sought comfort in that basic attraction of team athletics and what it indicates about our capabilities human beings. And so, in these very disturbing times, here’s where I am as a sports fan. I don’t care about Machado’s too-cool-for-school play anymore. It doesn’t bother me that players stroll down the first base line admiring a would-be homerun only to see it clang off the wall leaving them scurrying to leg out a double. Or that David Freese couldn’t catch a pop up. Or that Jasiel Puig air mailed a ball to home plate as if the cutoff man didn’t exist. Nope, none of it matters. Not a bit. Not at this moment. My mid-life crisis as a sports fan is on pause. What matters, from this now concluded baseball season, is that Machado, a Dominican-American from Florida, Puig, a Cuban, Hyun-jin Ryu, a South Korean, Justin Turner, a white dude from California, and all of their other Dodger teammates, tried to win the World Series. The Red Sox, with guys like Mookie Betts, an African American from Tennessee, Xander Bogaerts, an Aruban, and Andrew Benintendi, a white guy from Arkansas, won Boston’s fourth championship since 2004. And that they all competed last weekend, in front of Dodgers great Sandy Koufax, a Jewish American, makes the power of the moment all the more poignant. These men, from all over the globe, working together, trusting and respecting each other, leveraging complimentary talents and chasing a common goal – that’s the formula. If this great country has any chance of reaching its grand documented idea, that is the formula its residents must pursue. Those competing between the lines, across all major sports, have figure it out; those of us living outside the lines still have a long way to go. Send comments to RonaldGuyJr@gmail.com

Anglers, boaters and hunters who purchase their licenses or registrations from the Maryland Department of Natural Resourceshave a new way to give back to natural resources they enjoy and love. In partnership with the Chesapeake Bay Trust, the department announced today a new voluntary option in the online checkout for the Maryland Outdoor Recreation and Clean Water Fund. Funds generated by the new program will be distributed as grants for on-theground conservation and restoration projects that seek to enhance habitat and water quality as well as programs aimed at getting K-12 students outdoors. Grants will be provided to nonprofits in support of environmental and natural resources priorities throughout the state, from the Youghiogheny to the Coastal Bays. “Our citizens and customers shared our commitment and passion for the great outdoors, and are great advocates and stewards in the conservation, protection and wise use of our state’s lands and waters,” Maryland Natural Resources Secretary Mark Belton said. “Thanks to our strong partnership with the Chesapeake Bay Trust, we can provide our customers with an easy and simple way to give back to nature’s bounty.” Grants from the Maryland Outdoor Recreation and Clean Water Fund will support projects as small as $100 to over $500,000 made to community and environmental organizations as well as research and watershed groups. “We are thrilled to make stronger connections between the fishing, hunting and boating communities, and im-

provement of the resources they enjoy,” Chesapeake Bay Trust Executive Director Jana Davis said. “The evidence is mounting that being outdoors is good for all of us: We want these communities to have an option not just to enjoy their outdoor activities, but the opportunity to take part in restoring and protecting outdoor resources.” All contributions will be tax deductible. Contributors over $10 will have the option of enrolling in a “Perks Program,” which offers discounts and preferred parking at local businesses throughout Maryland. Examples of projects supported by the Maryland Outdoor Recreation and Clean Water Fund include: • Boating field trips • Eel, oyster, shad, terrapin, trout and other raise-and-release programs for students • Living shoreline projects, including access for canoes and kayaks • Local sustainable seafood projects • Research to improve efficacy of stream restoration practices • Trout stream restoration projects • Wetland restoration projects For every $20 contributed, one tree can be planted and one student can receive an outdoor field trip. Funds will be managed by the Maryland Department of Natural Resources and Chesapeake Bay Trust, a nonprofit grant-making organization established by the Maryland state legislature in 1985.

lifting conversation with her. She prided herself as a hard worker providing excellent customer service, expeditious checkout and a guaranteed smile and conversation. She made grocery shopping for everyone a pleasant experience. For those who knew her well, knew she wasn’t easily intimidated by any task. During the holidays, she was always the one who climbed on the roof to hang tons of Christmas lights, she’d spend hours doing any type of yard work, and maintained the cleanest car in the family fleet. However, on Sundays, She would relax and cheer on the Washington Redskins. Every holiday was special to her and she would decorate the outside of the house. We cannot say she had a favorite holiday, but you could always count on her dressing up in a costume for Halloween. After all, it was a time for her to entertain the children. Adele particularly enjoyed spending her summers eating crabs, working in the yard, softball games and vacationing at the beach in Ocean City with her family and friends, Adele was a loving mother to her three (3) children and their spouses, Diane (Caroll), Richie (Melanie) and Matthew (Melissa). Once all of her grandchildren began arriving, She opened her heart and provided them with fun times which brought her great joy. She enjoyed “field trips” such as taking them to school after eating breakfast at McDonalds or picking them up early to spend quality time. She and Paige could always be found snuggled up on the sofa watching movies and eating junk food. Her family was her priority and she made quality time for them. Adele had a love for dancing that stemmed from her childhood. She belonged to a local hand dancing club and boy could she cut a rug. As she began to decline to dementia, if she heard music, she would light up and start moving her shoulders. Adele had a great sense of humor and would at time become the life of a party. She could make you laugh with her crazy antics which I believe all her friends and family could agree with that. She was such a fun loving person with a heart of gold. She will be sorely missed. Adele and her sisters remained close through the years and made it a priority to get together for fun. Adele is survived by her daughter Diane M. Spriggs and husband Caroll of Huntingtown and sons Richard F. Kershaw and wife Melanie of Lusby and Matthew W. Kershaw and wife Melissa of Huntingtown. She is also survived by 12 grandchildren and sisters Josephine Joyce and husband Robert of San Diego, CA and Alma Mannion of Apopka, FL.

Helen Marie Gelvin

Besides her parents, Helen is preceded in death by the husband, Phillip Gelvin,,a son James Myers, and two sisters, Elsie Ventresca and Mildred Passero. Helen Gelvin lived in North Beach for much of her life with her late husband, Phil. Though she experienced many hardships in life she never gave up hope and persevered with unwavering strength. She lost her son (James, 20) but continued to give her daughter, Vicci, all the love she had to give. She was diagnosed with breast cancer but became a survivor. She suffered through losses that shook her to the core, losing not just her husband but both of her sisters, before it was her time to be called home. Yet, she made the best of life. Her strength and love was felt by many. Family and friends turned to her for advice, a hug, or maybe just a pat on the hand and a “I know” when words could not even be spoken. She forgave quickly, loved deeply, and lived. Visitation will be Friday, November 9, 2018, 5-6 p.m. at Rausch Funeral Home - Port Republic 4405 Broomes Island Road Port Republic MD 20676.
