COUNTY NEWS Citizens Speak Out Against Dominion Cove Point During Board of County Commissioners Meeting
The Calvert Gazette
By Sarah Miller Staff Writer The export project at Dominion Cove Point was a hot topic at the April 15 Board of County Commissioners meeting. During a work session, the commissioners discussed a water & sewerage plan map amendment for dominion laydown site A, located near the Sweetwater and water treatment center in Lusby. Dominion Cove Point, LNG, LP, and the Board of County Commissioners own three properties that will be developed into a laydown area for the storage of construction materials during the construction phase. This laydown area will support the construction effort at the main Cove Point Plant terminal and increase the efficiency of material storage, material accountability, and ultimately the overall construction process. This site will also house administrative buildings providing water and sewer services to over 2,000 workers. The Calvert County Environmental Health Department has reviewed all necessary site plans and is requiring this property be connected to public water and sewer, which is available in the immediate vicinity. Therefore, an application for a change in category for both water and sewer is required, according to documents provided on the commissioners agenda. Principal Planner Patricia Haddon said work would be kept away from the critical areas and all improvements on the properties would be completes at cost to Dominion Cove Point. The land will be turned
back over to the county once construction is complete. Construction can begin once Dominion Cove Point receives final approval from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). The commissioners voted unanimously to move ahead with the text amendment. Individuals came out to the commissioner's meeting to express concern about the Dominion Cove Point export project and perceived safety risks, such as vapor clouds should one of the liquefied natural gas tanks rupture and a lack of escape routes in the event of an emergency requiring evacuation. They protested Dominion Cove Point moving ahead with plans for staging areas before final approval is given by FERC. sarahmiller@countytimes.net

By Sarah Miller Staff Writer The Calvert County Public Schools (CCPS) Board of Education heard updates from the Department of Information Technology and the Department of Special Education during their April 10 meeting. During the information technology presentation, Supervisor of Accountability Cathy Page updated the board about the PARCC assessment field test, which ended April 11. The test was not as smooth as other online platform tests have been, she said, adding that students got kicked off line during the assessment and there were issues with audio components not working properly. She said they intent to have the problems resolved before the PARCC assessment is fully implemented. In addition to the field test, the department is working on replacing all computers running on Windows XP, which is no longer supported by Windows. CCPS Department of Special Education Director Christina Harris, presented the departments staffing plan for the next school year to the board. She indicated a need for additional staffing, both teachers and support staff, to alleviate demands on special education teachers. Special education teachers are required to teach multiple subjects on several grade levels, writing and maintaining individualized education programs and communicating with parents and general education teachers regarding students receiving services. Special education teachers are getting burned out, Harris said, adding that more than 20 special education teachers retired, resigned or transferred to general education last year alone. According to Harriss presentation, the intent of the staffing plan is to provide guidance to the Superintendent and to the Board of Education in determining the number of special education teachers and related services providers needed annually to implement the Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) for students with disabilities. The focus of the plan is on professional staff and instructional assistants who are responsible for the delivery of special education instruction at the school level. It does not include the professional and support staff assigned to the central office Special Education Department or the Infants and Toddlers Program. The plan us up for review on the CCCPS website. Also during the meeting, the board recognized April as Month of the Military Child and accepted a donation of artwork from former CCPS Superintendent Ralph Watcher.

If we dont find the necessary amount well give them a civil citation, Evans said. Our biggest thing is making sure theyre not smoking it [while driving]. Before the laws signing into law by Gov. Martin OMalley Monday deputies could arrest anyone found with marijuana for simple possession; now deputies must measure the amount of marijuana they find to get an accurate weight. Its a fine line with what 10 grams is, Evans said. Every deputy will have to measure for the 10 grams. But were still going to search vehicles to find out if theres more marijuana, Evans said.

To celebrate 30 years of volunteering in the communities where we live and work, Dominion has recognized 30 honorees for the personal time and effort they donated in 2013. One of those volunteers, Susie Lopez, works at our Cove Point LNG terminal right here in Southern Maryland.

In addition to recruiting and inspiring others, Susie and her family have personally participated in numerous efforts in and around their community. One thats especially meaningful for her is Farming 4 Hunger, a nonprofit near Cove Point that grows and harvests foodensuring that families in need dont go hungry.

In describing how the MD State Legislature assesses fees and taxes for special funds, then raids those special funds to make up budget shortfalls, then raises the fees and taxes again to make up for the funds that were raided, and does this over and over, Delegate Gail Bates says, Nowhere is this more visible than in the promises we make to our state employees, teachers, and others with their pensions. We promise them that when they retire, there will be funds for them to live on, with annual COLAs. In 2011, we (the legislature) passed pension reforms to assure the promises made will be kept. A compromise was reached where the employees would pay more and the state would pay more. With the ink barely dry on that agreement, the Governor proposed withholding of $100 million of the promised investment to fix the budget. This year he proposed another $100 million to fix the budget. Now the revenue write downs are being used to withhold another $200 million. Our pension system has become a Ponzi scheme. Would I be angry if I were a teacher? Absolutely! However, I would also know that adopting the Annapolis model of continually raising taxes and fees on a local level, especially on those with fixed incomes, is not the answer.

Choose native plants with large root systems: They are generally best suited to the rain garden environment. Not all non-native (exotic or introduced) plants are invasive. However, many plants that have been classified as invasive or detrimental to the environment are still available in nurseries. See the Controlling Noxious Weeds and Invasive Plants (Article #24 or page 29 in the booklet) for more information. As you would in any garden, if the location is central, site tallest plants in the center and plant gradually shorter ones as you work toward the edges. If you are only viewing the garden from one side, plant the tallest ones in the back. Look for varieties that provide color throughout the seasons.

Pew Study Libraries and Society Illustrates Critical Roles of U.S. Libraries
An overwhelming majority of Americans acknowledge that public libraries offer more than just books and provide community-tailored programs and services that improve the quality of life, according to "Libraries and Society," a report released recently from the Pew Research Center that examines the role of public libraries in communities. "I am proud that libraries have earned enormous trust and satisfaction from the American public," said American Library Association (ALA) President Barbara Stripling. "But we also know that one-third of all Americans still lack home Internet access, and a recent global survey finds U.S. adults lag behind many of their counterparts overseas in basic education skills. Our work is not done, and libraries will continue to innovate and meet evolving needs as new technologies and applications emerge. Libraries are transforming lives through education and help level the playing field for all." The report found that 95 percent of Americans agree that libraries play an important role in giving everyone a chance to succeed. At a time when more and more information is moving online and into digital formats, people continue to highly value free access to books and media, assistance from librarians, a safe and welcoming public space, and a range of resources, workshops, classes and events. Calvert Library is currently running their biennial customer survey. Director Carrie Plymire said, "We look forward to hearing specific feedback to be sure we are meeting the needs of the community and to using that data to plan our future course." From 2011 to 2012, public demand for digital training and technology classes increased 36 percent, while the demand for public Internet-connected computers went up 60 percent. The Pew study found that 72 percent of all Americans adults have either used a public library in the past year or live in a household with a family member who is an active library user. "The future of libraries is both online and in person-high tech and high touch," says Stripling. "From children's storytimes to makerspaces to mobile applications and augmented reality, libraries mix traditional and new services to meet changing community needs. If you haven't visited your library lately, I invite you to stop by or log on and let us surprise you." A library visit would be a great way to celebrate National Library Week, April 14 to April 19, and you can complete a Calvert Library survey while you are there. Visit http://www.pewInternet.org/topics/Libraries.aspx to learn more about the Pew study and the American Libraries magazine's E-Content blog for up-to-date news on libraries and digital content.

Bringing a new baby home from the hospital is a great moment for parents. But as a child settles into his or her new home, parents look around that home and see less home and more hazard. Kids are going to get some bumps and bruises along the way, but its still important that parents childproof their homes to keep such instances to a minimum and ensure that trips and falls dont lead to something far worse than just some scrapes and tears. Childproofing a home is typically more difficult for first-time parents who dont have the trained eye for hazard spots that parents of one or more children feel is second nature. But a practical approach to childproofing a home can keep kids safe and let parents rest easy knowing their youngsters are safe. The following are just a handful of the many ways parents can make their homes safer for newborns and young children. Turn down the water heater. Young children are susceptible to burns from hot water, even if that water temperature is perfectly fine for the rest of the family. Mayo Clinic recommends setting the temperature on the hot water heater to below 120 F and installing antiscald devices on bathtubs and showerheads. In addition, always test the water before your child gets into the tub. Store potentially dangerous household items high up. Childproof locks on cupboards and drawers can be an effective deterrent to curious babies, but parents should never underestimate just how inquisitive some youngsters can be. To safeguard especially curious kids
from their own behaviors, always store potentially harmful household items in high cabinets that little boys and girls wont be able to reach. Knives, household cleaners and scissors are just a few items that should be stored well beyond kids reach until they have clearly demonstrated they can handle such objects without cause for concern. Remove magnets from the refrigerator. Small magnets on a refrigerator often fall off when doors are open or closed. Babies or toddlers can easily find such magnets, which then become a choking hazard. Kids should not be in the kitchen anyway, but curious kids have a way of finding their way into rooms parents try to make off-limits, so its better to be safe than sorry. Secure flat-screen televisions. The televisions of yesteryear were so heavy that many adults couldnt even move them without help. Not so for todays flatscreen televisions, which are not only lightweight but also easily tipped over thanks to their often top-heavy structure. Such televisions should be mounted to the wall or kept high off the ground where kids cant reach them. Televisions that arent wall-mounted or those that are close to the ground are far more likely to tip over when curious kids go exploring. Keep cribs away from the window. Cribs should never be kept near a window, where cords hanging from blinds present a choking hazard. In addition, cribs located too close to a window can expose babies to the elements, potentially upsetting their rest and making them susceptible to sunburn.
