Gov. OMalley Allocates $20 Mil for TJ Bridge

By Alex Panos Staff Writer Del. John F. Wood Jr. is surprised Southern Maryland is receiving revenues from the recent tax increase on gasoline. Initially, Wood thought all revenue from the gas tax would be used to build and maintain roads and monorails in urbanized areas, but Gov. Martin OMalley announced late last week that $20 million will be used for the design and engineering phase of renovating the Gov. Thomas Johnson Bridge. It debunks the myth, Del. John Bohanan said of the popular opinion locally that rural Maryland would not see money from the gas tax. Bohanan acknowledged the tax is a very unpopular solution, as he has since the beginning of discussions, but it is the only way to fund such a large project. The bridge cost $26 million to build

to get the bridge done. Bohanan and State Sen. Thomas V. Mike Miller Jr. wrote a letter to the governor earlier this month outlining the importance to Southern Maryland of renovating the bridge. Bohanan said the letter really underscored the need to get the Johnson bridge in the budget and get it funded as soon as possible. But money to renovate the bridge was ultimately included in OMalleys new $1.2 billion transit package because majority of Southern Maryland delegation voted for the transportation bill, Bohanan said. Its a step in the right direction, Commissioner President Francis Jack Russell said of the commitment to repair the bridge. Its nice to see some of this has hope. Del. Anthony J. ODonnell said $20 million is probably a step in the right direction, but its not much compared to the $800 million to $1 billion the project will demand. He added, OMalleys money allocation doesnt even cover the total funds required for design and land acquisition. People should not have the expectation that the bridge is going to be built any time soon, ODonnell said. Although Wood is pleased with progress with the bridge, he still believes the gas tax came at a bad time and other monies could have been used to repair the bridge. It doesnt ease the pain that a lot of people are going to have over the next few years, Wood said. alexpanos@countytimes.net Sarah Miller contributed to this article.
County Budget Reflects Higher School Funding, County Employee Step Increase
By Sarah Miller Staff Writer For the first time since 2009 county employees will be awarded a step increase, according to the county Department of Budget and Finances May 21 presentation of the FY 2014 budget. In addition to the pay increase, the presented budget offered more funding to the Board of Education than allotted in previous drafts, though still falling short of filling the $4 million gap. The $109.8 million allocation remains nearly $2 million less than the Board of Education request. FY 2014 education funding is $4 million more than maintenance of effort, according to Finance and Budget Deputy Director Joan Thorp. Huntingtown High School teacher John McGuffin spoke up during the public comment portion of the meeting, thanking the county for the additional funding but telling them there is more to do. Calvert has a good school district, he said, and the county should trust the superintendent when he says the public schools need more funding. If he says we need it, we need it, McGuffin said. The budget sets aside $3.6 million for teacher pension costs, which local government is increasingly financial responsible for. Of the $232.5 million general fund, 51.6 percent is dedicated to education, according to the presentation. Capital Projects Analyst Julie Paluda presented the Capital Improvement Plan, which totaled $218.7 million in spending and included projects such as developing a long range master plan for youth recreational opportunities, continued road improvements county wide and the implementation of an 800 MHz digital communication system upgrade and channel expansion project. Community member Robert Polling spoke out against the communication system upgrade, which will take three years and $24 million that could be spent on schools and libraries. The county should focus instead on state-mandated bay cleanup, he said. The Board of County Commissioners voted to leave the record for public comment open until June 3.

when it first opened in 1977, according to Bohanan, and, before this year, the gas tax had not been raised since 1992. Considering these figures, it would be nearly impossible to renovate the bridge with todays inflation. The bridge has been estimated to cost $800 million to replace, and Bohanan says OMalleys $20 million commitment is a promising start. The engineering and design phase wasnt approved for the plan to sit on the shelf, he said, youve got to move ahead with it. This really represents the commitment

Local Charter Boat Captain Donates Day to Wounded Warriors

By Sarah Miller Staff Writer This is my dream. This is what I do, said Charter Boat Captain Robbie Robinson of a special fishing trip he took on May 28 aboard the Miss Regina II. He wasnt paid for the outing working with the Wounded Warrior Project and American Legion Post 274 to take injured veterans out of the hospital to spend a day on the Chesapeake Bay. This is the sixth year Robinson, along with American Legion Post 274, has taken soldiers fishing. The soldiers begin talking while on the boat. They share stories about their experiences overseas, and talk about how they were injured. Being out of the water and away from the hospital is some of the best therapy available, Rob inson said. The vets they take out arent always strangers to each other. Robinson remembers one trip including two veterans who had served together. One had lost and arm and the other lost a leg, and they worked as a team to cast and reel in fish. Sometimes, they take out more than veterans. Robinson said hes willing to accommodate requests from veterans to bring their wives, children and even a puppy during a trip in 2012. Some veterans have gone out with Robinson multiple times. To accommodate the veterans during the twice-yearly outings Robinson had his boat refitted to be wheelchair accessible. Representatives from the American Legion and the Wounded Warrior project went on the trip to assist. Steve Welch showed up early to set up bait and rods, and helps clean the fish be fore the fish fry at the American Legion. They thoroughly enjoy themselves, Rob inson said. Jerrys Subs and Pizza in Solomons provided lunch. The Sons of the American Legion and the auxiliary club provided dinner after the trip, in addition to frying up the catch of the day. sarahmiller@countytimes.net

The computer automatically ignites the burner.
STEP 3
HOW DOES A TANKLESS WORK?

The obvious difference between a tank and a tankless is its size. Not only will you gain significant space, but youll also get endless hot water with a tankless. Noritz tankless water heaters last longer than traditional tank water heaters and are backed up with a 12-year warranty.
The Noritz tankless water heater provides an endless stream of hot water. When the tap is turned off, the unit shuts off.
STEP 5
With a tankless, you wont be using hot water that is stored in a tank that can accumulate scale and rust over time. Noritz units allow you to set the temperature you want.
SPACE SAVING CALCULATION

A traditional tank-type water heater takes up to 13 ft2 of space. If 1 ft2 is worth $200, thats $2,600 (13 ft2 x $200) worth of space you could be saving at Noritz.

Michael Winstanley Architects & Planners Completes Modernization of U S Navy Top Gun Test Pilot Facility
Michael Winstanley Architects & Planners is pleased to announce the completion of the twoyear modernization of historic Hangar 110 at Patuxent River Naval Air Station. It was one of the largest such structures built in the United States up to that point and is eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. The complex consists of two aircraft hangar bays flanked by offices and shops that support the Navys test pilot school. Still an active naval facility, the Hangar now serves to house an aeronautical menagerie of glider, propeller-driven and jet-powered aircraft of both fixed and rotary wing types. However, the most interesting part of its history are the graduates of the school that include illustrious alumni with The Right Stuff: Alan Shepard, John Glenn, and Walter Shirra among others. Hangar 110 is located in the heart of the Patuxent River Naval Air Station and was one of the first structures built at the base. It was built in 1942 with a new and relatively unproven type of construction. The innovative ZDtype concrete hangar was a poured-in-place, thin-shell concrete construction system poured over massive forms that were moved on rails. Based largely on the success of the construction at Pax River, this type of construction was published in a contemporary engineering journal and became a widely accepted construction technique. Construction was fast and the average construction time from beginning to end was just six months, seventeen days. Unlike the speed of the original construction, this was a long and complicated assignment; and I am very pleased with the final restoration of Hangar 110, says George Eisenberger AIA LEED AP. During the project we

often spoke about all the interesting people that have used the hangar over the years. Patuxent Naval Air Station was established in 1941 spurred predominantly by events of WWII. A swift consolidation effort replaced farming operations at Cedar Point with flight test operations resulting in the establishment of The most needed station in the Navy, according to Rear Admiral John S. McCain then chief of the Navys Bureau of Aeronautics a transition that took place within a year of ground-breaking. Among some of the tasks involved was the reconstruction of the roadside lean-to faade with new historically-correct fenestration that also meets current antiterrorism/force protection requirements; roof replacement; renovations of the interiors of the shops and offices; renovation of the hangar interiors to include new flooring, overhead heating, lighting and fire protection systems; and, most significantly, retrofitting a new trenched foam fire protection system for the high-value aircraft housed within. Michael Winstanley Architects & Planners is an architecture, planning and interior design firm located in the metropolitan Washington area. Current assignments for the firm include the restoration work at Union Station in Washington, DC; a 350-bed residence hall at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, KY; the new headquarters for the Helicopter Association International in Alexandria, VA; and the firm has just completed the new 6-star Capella Hotel in Georgetown.

She can help lessen the anxiety, by providing reassurance, explaining results and answering questions about her diagnosis and treatment options. Breast cancer is not a one size fits all diagnosis, said Lingebach. There are many different treatment options and a lot of decisions to make. The most important thing I do is empower each patient, she said, by giving them the tools they need to make the decision that is right for them.

Mobile Vet Service Keeps Pets Healthy

By Sarah Miller Staff Writer If a pet cant go to the vet, Kristina Darnell is making sure the vet can go to the pet. Darnell started Darnell's Mobile Veterinary Service in 2009, after seeing a need in the community for a mobile vet to come in and perform wellness checks on animals. There are different types of mobile veterinarians, she said. Some work out of a van equipped as a mobile exam room. Such vans are often connected to a clinic, similar to ambulances for animals. Other operations, like hers, are run out of a car equipped with basic medications for wellness examinations, vaccinations, nail trimming, ear cleaning, parasite control and even humane euthanasia. When Darnell first started the mo bile veterinary service, half of her customers were looking for someone who could euthanize their pet at home. It is kinder for the pets to die at home, where they are comfortable and surrounded by loved ones, Darnell said. More recently, her business has been receiving more calls for well pet checks. Darnell has the tools needed to collect blood, urine and stool samples to send to local animal hospitals for

diagnosis. Darnell specializes in dogs and cats. She serves Calvert and most of St. Mary's counties, offering the convenience of quality veterinary care without the stresses associated with traveling to the veterinary clinic, according to her website. Examining and treating animals at home can prevent anxiety, motion sickness and disease transfer between animals in the waiting room. Home service is convenient for elderly or disabled pet owners who may have a difficult time getting to the vet. Its been a big help for a lot of people, Darnell said. Most pets are easier to examine at home, where they are relaxed and comfortable. Darnell takes her time with dogs, allowing them to move around when needed. Cats are a different story she has approximately 10 minutes with them before they are completely uncooperative. Some pets are nervous and obedient at the vet but aggressive at home. Others require gas anesthesia before they can be examined. While comparatively rare, those are cases Darnell refers to a full sized veterinary clinic.

Unofficial policy is students are not redistricted twice during their school experience, said Superintendent Jack Smith. Students at Beach, Plum Point and Windy Hill elementary schools will be affected, according to accepted redistricting plans. The redistricting committee has not discussed grandfathering students who wish to remain at their elementary school, according to Director of School Construction and committee member George Leah. The public is welcome to attend public hearings for the redistricting plans, scheduled for June 3 and 4 at 7 p.m. in the Mary Harrison Center in Owings. For more information, visit www.calvertnet.k12. md.us. Proposed redistricting plans can be found in the
May 23 meeting agenda posted in Board Docs, listed under the Board of Ed tab on the top of the window. In other news, the Board of Education passed the updated Code of Conduct, though board Vice President Kelly McConkey expressed concerns regarding some parts of the code, which do not outline specific punishments for repeated actions, such as multiple cell phone regulation violations. He worried some administrators may take more drastic actions than others. Smith told him administrators take the nature of the violations and student records into account when disciplining a student. sarahmiller@countytimes.net

Port Republic Man Pleads Guilty in Child Porn Case

By Guy Leonard Staff Writer Federal authorities say that a man who provided electronic images and videos of child pornography to an under cover agent back in more than three years ago has pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court to distributing the illegal materials. David Dobbs, 55, was charged with transmitting 16 videos of child pornography in the first incident, of which explicit details were included in his plea agreement. One video shows a prepubescent female having a sex act performed on her by an adult male, according to Dobbs plea agreement. The same agreement details the investigation into Dobbs activities by revealing a September 2010 on-line chat between him and an undercover agent in which Dobbs stated he liked girls around seven years old and up. Dobbs also gave the undercover agent access to his file share program, which allowed the agent to download eight other videos of sexually explicit child pornography. Dobbs faces at least five years in federal prison and a maximum of 20, according to U.S. Attorney Rod Rosensteins office. But his plea agreement, according to prosecutors, shows that the state will pursue a 90-month prison sentence followed by supervised release. Sentencing is set for July 25. Dobbs must also register as a sex offender under the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA). guyleonard@countytimes.net
MDE Levies Fines on Alleged Polluters

By Guy Leonard Staff Writer The Maryland Department of the Environment has issued thousands of dollars in fines against businesses and individuals who the agency said have violated pollution laws involving either land, water or air. According to information from the agency (MDE) the Prince Frederick Dental Center was charged with radiation machine violations, which the agency did not specify, and fined $5,000. In another case a Calvert County resident, Robert Abner was charged with placing unauthorized fill in a tidal wetlands area of a marina in the town of Chesapeake Beach from 2006 and 2008. The consent decree filed in the countys Circuit Court also alleged other water pollution violations from 2005 and 2011, according to information from the MDE. The order compels Abner to give $20,000 to two separate state environmental funds, with half to one and half to the other, MDE information states. Abner must also perform restoration work and submit plans for the marsh reclamation to the agency every three years. guyleonard@countytimes.net
Local Man Killed In Garage Collapse

By Guy Leonard Staff Writer Montgomery County Police have identified the man killed in last weeks collapse of a mall parking garage as Carroll Dexter Wills, 57, of Prince Frederick. Wills was a construction worker at the Westfield Montgomery Mall on Democracy Avenue working on an expansion project when a concrete slab weighing 50,000 pounds collapsed on him and another of construction worker, according to Assistant Fire Chief Scott Graham. The collapse occurred about 1:45 p.m. May 23, Graham said, and brought 135 firefighters to the scene as well as structural engineers and emergency trauma surgeons. When firefighters made contact with the men trapped under the slab, known as a double-T, they found that Wills had been fatally injured. The other man was pinned underneath the slab, Graham said, but was eventually extricated. He was transported to Baltimore Shock Trauma hospital, Graham said, after a four hour ordeal to release him. The Maryland Occupational Safety and Health agency of state government is investigating the collapse. guyleonard@countytimes.net

Lifelong Educators
By Sarah Miller Staff Writer With high school and college graduations coming one right after the other, it is a time to reflect on past years and look to the future. For husband and wife Eugene and Victoria Karol, there is much to reflect on. Eugene Karol has been in education since 1955 and Victoria Karol since 1978. One of the biggest changes they have both seen in education is the increasing prevalence of technology, both in and out of the classroom. The age of technology is here, Eugene Karol said. Its just galloping now. Because technology changes so quickly it is becoming difficult to project out equipment needs more than three years out, Victoria Karol said. In addition to student benefits, teachers are taking online courses for certifications and professional development. A challenge that comes with this is ensuring teachers only take their courses through reputable sites and programs. Students now are brighter and more advanced than children their age 30 or 50 years ago, Eugene Karol said. Victoria Karol agreed with her husband, saying they are so advanced, but she worries about increasing pressure to function at a higher level and grow up more quickly. Children still need time to be children, she said. Every generation is doing better than the one before it, Eugene Karol said, but they are having trouble finding jobs to support themselves when they leave college. America has to do something about the cost of college, either by paying for an associates or bachelors degree or making higher education less cost prohibitive. One area Eugene Karol believes the county schools could improve on is closing the achievement gap for minority students. The county has been doing well, but they can always do better, he said. Everyone has the right to a high quality education. Victoria Karol has seen a large rise in autism and special needs awareness, and programs benefiting children who need extra support. One constant the couple has seen is a continued need for communication at all levels between students, teachers, parents and administrators to collaborate to the benefit of students. As he said in various Board of Education meetings, Eugene Karol believes money needs to stay as close to students and the classroom as possible and when making budget cuts they should impact children as little as possible. It is important to listen to everyones ideas in all things, Eugene Karol said, from technological advances to possible budget solutions. Nobody has a corner on the brain market, he said. Eugene Karol never intended to teach. He earned a Bachelor of Science in Biological Science and Social Science from the University of Maryland and took a job teaching high school science in 1955 to pay

for medical school. I got hooked, he said. He now holds a Master of Education in Education Administration from Western Maryland College and an Doctor of Education in Educational Administration from Nova Southeastern University in Florida. He had the opportunity to teach the two highest and lowest sections of science, and found teaching struggling students to be more rewarding. When working with students who dont intuitively understand the subject, teachers have to find creative ways to get it from your head to their head. In 1965, Eugene Karol accepted his first administrator position at Dundalk Junior High School in Baltimore. He stepped up into his first Superintendent of Schools job with Somerset County Public Schools in 1975, and then was asked to be Superintendent of Calvert County Public Schools in 1980. Going from Somerset County to Calvert County was like night and day, Eugene Karol said. Calverts public schools are well funded, while in Somerset County he had to fight for every penny. One of his first steps in Calvert County was to help teachers and administrators to develop a uniform teaching curriculum to take students from kindergarten through 12th grade. Before this curriculum was developed, each school had different books and lessons, meaning if a child moved from one elementary school to the other they would be completely lost. This reform was similar to the Com-
mon Core Curriculum currently being implemented. He has no problem with standardizing learning, but believes such large changes need to be piloted and tested thoroughly before full implementation. We cant waste money on things that fail, he said. Aside from public schools, Eugene Karol was an adjunct professor, and later academic dean, at Strayer University and an associate profession at the College of Notre Dame of Maryland, a position he still occupies. He is still an adjunct professor in education at McDaniel College, and an active member on the Calvert County Board of Education. I do what Ive gotta do, and do whats right, Eugene Karol said. Unlike her husband, Victoria Karol always wanted to be a teacher. She taught piano lessons while in high school, then earned a bachelors degree in Elementary and Early Childhood Education from Towson State University. She has a masters degree in Administration and Supervision from Bowie State University, a doctorate in Education Leadership and Administration Supervision from Nova Southeastern University and is a certification specialist through the Maryland State Department of Education. Her first teaching position was at Mt. Harmony Elementary School from 1978 to 1989, and she taught summer school from 1984 through 1989. She was coordinator of the teacher center, media centers and Title VI from 1989 through 1992, the supervisor of staff development, teacher center, media centers and Title VI from 1993 through 1996.
She started the first automated media system, Online Public Access Catalog, for Calvert Schools and competed for a grant through Goals 2000 to be able to send laptops home with at risk students, a program that ended when funds dried up. While it was active, she said students made huge gains in math and english. Educators found students gravitated toward math programs on the computers, so they had to implement rules compelling students to divide their computer time between various subjects. Parents and grandparents were actively involved in student learning when they brought computers home, Victoria Karol said. She knew one 90-year-old grandmother who learned to use a computer because she would do anything for her grandchild. Victoria Karol is typically an early adopter and believes technology has all manner of practical uses in the classroom. I love technology, Victoria Karol said. Like her husband, Victoria Karol teaches at McDaniel College. She is currently the Assistant Director of Human Resources with Calvert County Public Schools. The Karols may have seen a lot of change during their years in education, but neither intends to retire anytime soon, Victoria Karol said. We still love what were doing, she said. We have a passion for education. When you love what you do, it makes a difference. sarahmiller@countytimes.net

Backsplash Tiles...
One of my favorite details in any kitchen. It is the final touch that pulls the cabinets, flooring, and countertop together and one that most homeowners struggle with. There are so many choices in backsplash materials, I have listed for you some of the hottest trends in tiles for the backsplash. 1. Subway tile. The age of subway tile is upon us, and poor cute square tiles everywhere are probably sweating bullets wondering if they will ever reach this level of popularity again. This is not a new trend, but it doesnt seem to be slowing down at all. 2.Rectangular tile. Not in the traditional subway size of 3x6. Ive noticed a large crowd of people who have picked up on the popularity of subway, want to imitate it, but dont want to follow the rest of the masses. These people I direct towards 2x8 tiles, or 1x6 tiles, etc. etc. These still give the linear look, but are slightly edgier than the more common subway size. 3.Glass tile in any size BUT a 1x1. Im afraid the days of the 1x1 mosaic glass backsplash tile are numbered. Ive noticed a significant decline in the number of clients interested in running this over a whole backsplash. For many, its too busy for their space. For many others, they are tired of seeing it everywhere and want the next greatest thing: glass tile in any other size. Various sized stacked glass is extremely popular at the moment, as well as fun patterns like a random blend of squares and rectangles or herringbone 4.Marble, marble, and more marble. This is also not exactly a new trend, but the popularity sure hasnt even begun to wane. Its always the same two: calacatta and carrera (if you dont know the difference between the two, stop by the studio and we will explain. Im seeing it most commonly in a subway pattern, but also in longer rectangles. Note, not in a square. Again, people really seem to be hating on squares at the moment. 6. Unique materials. And by unique, I mean unique. Cork, mother of pearl, and metals to name a few. If it can be turned into a tile, it will be. And the list is only growing of more off-the-wall materials that are becoming tile. Skateboard tile, anyone? 7. Eco-friendly. Its becoming much more common to come across clients who refuse to buy Chinese due to unsafe labor laws and cheap products. Ive seen a major upswing in the number of clients who will

spend a little more money for something made responsibly and even more importantly, with regard to the environment. Oceanside Glasstile is a great example of a company who saw the importance of protecting the environment early on, and is now really reaping the benefits from being an early leader in recylced glass tile. Side benefit: its beautiful 10. Herringbone & chevron. I personally believe these have risen in popularity due to the resurgence of French influence in design. All of a sudden, you cant turn a page in a design magazine without seeing some sort of French feature. Herringbone and chevron both create a European feel, and make for a stunning backsplash that is quite a bit more interesting than your standard subway tile. And the best part? You can actually create this pattern using subway tile!

Through the Eye of A Reporter
Local White House Correspondent Publishes Book
By Sarah Miller Staff Writer From freedom rides ending in Birmingham, Ala., to interviewing Emmett Tills mother and covering the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, Simeon Booker has seen it all during his more than 50 years in journalism. He details the high points and the low points in Shocking the Conscience: A Reporters Account of the Civil Rights Movement. Booker, now a Lusby resident, became the first black reporter for The Washington Post in 1952. He reported for Jet and Ebony magazines during the Civil Rights Simeon Booker era. In 1982 he became the first African-American journalist to win the National Press Club's Fourth Estate Award for lifetime contributions to journalism. He officially retired from the business in 2007. On January 17, Booker was inducted into the National Association of Black Journalists' Hall of Fame during a ceremony at the Newseum in Washington, D.C. I paid my dues, he said. His more memorable interviews connected to some of the most prominent headlines in the last decade. He interviewed Mamie Till in Chicago, Ill., while her son was missing, and was in the courtroom during the trial of Roy Bryant and J. W. Milam after Emmett Tills body was found. He talked to the security guard who discovered the thieves at Watergate and, after the door was taken as evidence, the security guard gave him the door hinges. He still has the hinges, saying they are symbolic of the Nixon administration an administration unhinged. He rode one of the freedom buses that departed from Washington D.C. Before he left, he met U.S. Attorney General Robert Kennedy, later a United States Senator from New York, before departing on the bus. Kennedy gave Booker his phone number and told him to call him if Booker got into trouble. He needed that number when he reached Birmingham and it looked like he and the other bus

riders may not make it home alive. Booker was among the reporters selected by lottery to attend President John F. Kennedys funeral. In recent years, he said the papers he worked for and journalism in general has become less serious, more entertainment oriented. Readers see little about African Americans and minorities in the United States, but they can read daily about wars overseas. It has become more globally oriented and less focused on local matters. While writing Shocking the Conscience: A Reporters Account of the Civil Rights Movement, Booker and his wife of 40 years, Carol Booker, started with his old articles, deciding to follow his career chronologically. Carol, a retired journalist and lawyer, helped write and organize her husbands book. He was a real pioneer, she said. The book is published by the University Press of Mississippi, ironic because of his much Mississippi and other southern states figured into Bookers career, Carol said. For more information, or to purchase a copy of Shocking the Conscience: A Reporters Account of the Civil Rights Movement, visit any local bookseller or amazon.com.

COMMISSIONERS CORNER
T heyre common acquaintances. During casual weekends roaming around the picturesque back roads of Southern Maryland or while braving the Route 235 corridor our little D.C. beltway during the week, they surround you. When youve needed a mechanic, a builder, cold beer, fresh local produce, food staples ahead of a fictitious snowstorm or a newspaper - an actual tangible newspaper - to faithfully deliver local happenings, theyve been there for you. Despite the areas evolution, they the heritage County names remain unmistakable footnotes. You know the suspects: Mattingly, Russell, Hayden, Raley, Farr, Guy and McKay, among others. Scullys not one of the areas more prevalent surnames; but there are certainly Scullys woven into the culture of our fabulous little peninsula. In a happenstance encounter with living baseball history and a nostalgic visit with my evaporated youth, the Scully name took center stage during the Washington Nationals recent 3-game series against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Nats dropped 2 of 3 and the human crash test dummy Bryce Harper ran full bore into the right field fence while tracking a fly ball. The collision split his chin open, necessitated the shaving of his very impressive beard for a 20-year-old and added another chapter to Harpers growing legend. My apologies to Bryce, but a living baseball icon that started his career over 40 years before Harper was born upstaged his dubious attempt at emulating Willie Mays (or even Willie Mays Hayes). During the series against L.A., I caught a few sound bites of the games as called by Dodgers play-byplay man Vin Scully. Scully has been calling Dodgers games since 1950 - a time when the team still resided in the Flatbush section of Brooklyn and called Ebbets Field its home. Hes known as The Voice of the Dodgers, a title that inappropriately narrows Scullys impact on the game and is a bit possessive on the part of his current employer. I suppose The Voice of Baseball is debatable, but if Scullys not on your short list, then try again. I was introduced to Scully, indirectly, through his work in the 1980s with color commentator Joe Garagiola on NBCs Saturday afternoon MLB Game of the Week. Scullys voice, that smooth, warm voice captured The National Pastime perfectly. His verbal portrait of a major league game on a sun-kissed afternoon flawlessly combined specific details of the scene with vague references that permitted a Publisher Thomas McKay baseball fans imagination to roam. Scully found the perfect tempo Eric McKay Associate Publisher for a 9-inning game and just the right voice reflection to convey the emotions of the moment.

This week I want to share two recent forays into the community. The first was to the brand new Interim Southern Branch of the Calvert County Library. I am going to call the new branch in Solomons the Calvert County Library South or CCL-South for short. In this column, I often rave about the generosity and volunteerism for which Calvert County is known. There is no better example than the CCL-South. The Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) found the money to renovate the old Woodburns Store. I use the word found because the capital funding was a bonus the County received when we sold bonds. In other words, the buyer paid the County taxpayers a bonus for the privilege of buying our AAA bonds. However, we could not justify using any other funding in these tight economic times. So, the Calvert Library Foundation (CLF) stepped in and raised a whopping $239,000 to finish the CCL-South. The CLF purchased the carpet, windows, furniture, computers, and the Imagination Station for little ones. I had the privilege of attending the Major Donors Thank You Reception held before the CCL-South opened officially to give a sneak preview to those generous CLF members who made the new space so beautiful and inviting. My 9-month-old grandson accompanied me. He christened the Imagination Station. He also caused the first incident at the brand new CCLSouth. There was a bin labeled 9 months to one year. So, I set it down on the fish rug that was intriguing him. He promptly picked up the bin and slammed it into his head, raising a lump. (I didnt know I was
supposed to dump out the bin.) After that little mishap, he loved the toys in the bin, the dishes in the cupboard, the beads on the bead wall, and yes, the fish rug. The new CCL-South is bright, light, and airy. When I went with my friend on Friday to see the movie, Lincoln, it was also very busy, not including the 52 of us who came to see the movie. Please check this library out and let me know if you arent as excited about it as I am. If you have little ones, a road trip to the Imagination Station will be well worthwhile. Kudos to all those donors, all the Calvert Library Board members over the years who dreamt of a bigger space for the Southern branch of the library, then put those dreams into plans. It had been at the top of my wish list, along with a couple of firehouses, for many years. The second foray was to the annual luncheon of the One Room School House, Inc. This amazing organization of retired teachers and their friends and spouses does a lot with very little. They spark the imaginations of every 4th grader in Calvert County as they experience a typical day as a student in a one-room school before WWII. The Port Republic One Room School is open on Sunday afternoons from 1 to 4 p.m. for everyone to visit. Besides replicating the teachers role, these amazing volunteers also tell what life was like before and after school for the students. It causes me to remember my mothers stories about teaching in a one-room school in very rural Wyoming prior to WWII. The retired teacher volunteers could use more help. So, if you think you may be interested in being a one-room school teacher for a day or you would like to share your life before and after school in the old days, please stop by the Port Republic One Room School located on the grounds of Christ Church on Broomes Island Road on a Sunday afternoon and volunteer. You will be keeping history ALIVE.

Edythe Barrett Chew, 91

Edythe Barrett Chew, 91, of Chesapeake Beach, Md. passed away on May 3 at the home of her daughter. Edythe Barrett Moten Chew was born October 19, 1921, in Owings, Md., to the late Florence M. Rawlings Moten Reid and the late George R. Moten. She was raised by her mother and stepfather, the late Joseph Murray Reid. Edythe grew up and attended the Paris School in Calvert County. Edythe was married to the late Tenny Chew, Sr. and after that union, went on to spend many years with the late Charles Emerson with whom she raised a family. Edythe was a domestic worker for many years for the Scavullo family in Cheverly, Md. In addition to her work with the Scavullo family; Edythe assisted in the care of her parents wherever she was needed. Edythe left her job and went to help her parents. She spent many long days working and then returning home to care for her family. She helped on the farm, prepared meals, cleaned, and assisted in the care of her siblings and loved ones. Edythe was a devoted daughter to her parents. She took care of them both until their death. Edythe attended Mt.

She was a member of the Wards Senior Choir and the United Methodist Women; of which she remained an honorary member. Edythe loved to travel and continued to travel until her health no longer permitted. God gave Edythe gifted hands. She would grow beautiful flowers in her yard and always had many houseplants. Edythe loved to cook and was famous for her colored cakes with sprinkles (green and pink), which were delicious. Edythe loved family dinners on Sundays and especially on holidays. In her leisure you could find her just sitting and talking with family and friends about her life painting a picture so vividly you felt you were right there.

Counselor Linda Craven was recognized as a member of the Maryland SBTDC Million Dollar Club. The recognition is designated for SBTDC counselors who have assisted a client with a single transaction which results in obtaining financing of $1 million or more. Craven was recognized for facilitating $1,545,374 in small business loan assistance for 14 individual Southern Maryland firms in 2012 and for her overall dedication in serving small businesses. Counselor Bill Hitte was recognized for providing assistance which resulted in 21 new business starts in Southern Maryland during fiscal year beginning Oct. 1, 2012. "Mrs. Craven and Mr. Hitte are both excellent professional business counselors with expertise in start-up assistance and business finance, said Robertson-Slagle. "This expertise clearly has helped many small business clients and has bolstered Southern Maryland's small business development efforts." The SBTDC, Southern Region is hosted by the College of Southern Maryland and is staffed with professional business counselors who collaborate closely with local businesses leaders within Southern Maryland to determine the types of assistance small business owners would value most.

The Smithereens
One Louder
Justin Myles
By Alex Panos Staff Writer The past, present and future of rock and roll will be on display at Summerseat Farm this Saturday, says James Dicus, an event coordinator. The historic farm is hosting a music festival, headlined by The Smithereens, a famous platinum album 80s rock band. They are often compared to The Beatles and were a major influence on the popular group Nirvana, Dicus said. This show will feature the band [The Smithereens] playing many of their own hits and a Beatle or Who song thrown in for good measure, Dicus said. One Louder, Justin Myles and The Sam Grow Band will also be performing throughout the day. One Louder covers a variety of 80s rock bands, including Bon Jovi, AC/ DC, Poison and Journey, and will appeal to fans of classic rock and roll. Justin Myles, who Dicus called a very versatile entertainer, is expected to tap-dance during his performances including during is cover of Steppinwolfs the well-known song Born to be Wild. Justin [Myles] is a great dancer, Dicus said. Sam Grow Band, which opened a concert last year for the rock group Boston, is a popular locally-based band that has toured all over country. Myles and The Sam Grow Band have a ton of young fans and a huge following, Dicus said, and he feels the lineup appeals to all ages. I think they are all fantastic musically, and all very entertaining visually, Dicus said, adding each are great live bands. Patrons will have the opportunity

Summerseat Farm has the regions only heard of American Buffalo accessible to the public.
to enjoy barbeque throughout the day, including pulled pork and sliced ribs. This is the real deal, Dicus said of the food lineup, adding he has told people to expect more than just hamburgers and hotdogs. Along with traditional American lagers such as Budweiser, a number of vendors with craft beers for sale will be on hand including Stella Artois, Fat Tire and Shock Top. Dicus is looking forward to all the bands combining to bring a successful music fest to the Mechanicsville farm, and is expecting a large number of Smithereens fans from Pennsylvania and Virginia to make the trip to St. Marys. The concert serves as a fundraiser for Summerseat, a non-profit farm which Dicus says aims to provide the public with free information about the farms past and Southern Marylands landscape during the Civil War. Summerseats cemetery contains the remains of two soldiers, one during the War of 1812 and another from The
Civil War. Our cemetery really tells the history of St. Marys County history in the 1800s, Dicus said. The farm has a wide variety of heritage animals, as well as the regions only publicly accessible herd of American Buffalo, according to Dicus. Summerseat has also been featured on the television series Ghost Hunters during 2011, which has drawn many people to the farm over the last couple of years. He says the festival is a great opportunity to see great bands while supporting a national historic landmark and animal sanctuary. Its a win-win situation, he said. The music kicks off at 1 p.m. on Saturday, June 1, blankets and lawn chairs will be permitted. Tickets are being sold in advance online at summerseat.org for $30, or may be purchased at the gate for $40. alexpanos@countytimes.net

During the month of June, the Twin Beaches Branch in Chesapeake Beach will host Joanns photographs. Joann lives in Chesapeake Beach and is a Special Education teacher in Calvert County. The photography of Guy Stephens will be on display at Calvert Library in Prince Frederick during the months of June and July. You may know Guy through his business, Southern Maryland Photography, or through the Calvert Photography Club, of which he is a past president. Whether its a Polaroid One Step from his past or the current Nikon DSLR, Guy has always loved capturing the moment. With his interest in technology and the internet, the change in photography to the digital format became an important intersection and was part of the driving force of his passion. The birth of his first child, Cooper, turned his hobby into something more and his family greatly impacts when and where he shoots. Southern Maryland has also been a large influence on his photography. Guys family moved here in 1978 and he loves the culture and influence of the Chesapeake Bay on the area, from the workboats and watermen to the lighthouse and crab feasts.
