Local Takes Leadership Position in

National Planning Association
By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
After being named the newest president-elect for the Maryland Chapter
of the American Planning Association
(APA), local planner Patricia J. Haddon is looking forward to learning from
planners nationwide and bringing her
knowledge to Calvert County.
Haddon is an AICP Certified Principal Planner with the Calvert County
Department of Community Planning
and Building.
In addition to continuing her work
with Calvert County Government, Had-
don will work with the current president

in preparation for becoming chapter
leader, assist in the guidance and coordination of committee activities and the
creation of the chapters Development
Plan and carry out any other duties assigned by the president. In the absence
of or in the event of incapacity of the
president, the president-elect shall assume the duties of the president.
The APA hosts social and educational functions for members and offers
development opportunities for members
to maintain their AICP certifications,
Haddon said. Calvert pays for all planners hired to earn the AICP certifica-
tions if they dont already have it when

they are hired, she said.
Normally, the president-elect holds
the position for two years, then steps up
to the position of president with a new
president-elect. Haddon will be president-elect position for a year and a half,
having taken over for a president-elect
who moved and could no longer carry
out their duties. She will be the president
in 2016.
Haddon will be representing the
county and the Maryland APA at state
and national APA functions.
Thats one thing Im really looking forward to, Haddon said, adding
that Calvert County is admired for the
long-term planning in the town centers,
and she hopes to share her experiences
in Calvert in addition to learning from
other planners. She intends to bring back
ideas to enhance operations in the Calvert Department of Community Planning and Building.
She had to get permission from the

county before accepting the appointment, as is required for anybody taking
a secondary position while working for
the county government.
This is an honor for me and an
honor for the county too, Haddon said.
County Administrator Terry Shannon said the county is confident Haddon
will represent Calvert well during her
tenure as president-elect and president.
Were excited for her and proud of
her accomplishment, Shannon said.
Department of Community Planning and Building Director Thomas
Barnett echoed Shannons comments,
saying the department is proud of Haddon and they look forward to supporting her when she is the president of the
Maryland Chapter of the APA.

Huntingtown resident Veronica Cristo
beat nearly 300 speakers to come in third
at the Toastmasters International District
27 Spring Conference International Speech
Contest.
Contests are first held within individual Toastmaster Clubs, then at area levels.
Winners then move on to the division contest, then to district. The winner from the
district competition goes to the world competition, to be held this year in Malaysia.
At the district competition, speakers
are some of the best of the best in the country, they come together from large areas
to see who goes to the final International
Within District 27, there are 112 Clubs,
subdivided into 6 Divisions, and 23 Areas.
There are about 2,400 Toastmasters in District 27, and it is estimated that 300 competed in the International Speech Contests
in District 27 Clubs. Six finalists spoke at
the district contest.
Cristo came in third at the district
competition, held this year in Crystal City,
Va.
Her speech, Come and Get It!, emphasized the importance of family meals
and the social aspects of eating together.
Having meals together can promote communication and build a community, Cristo
said, recalling a recent meal with her husband and three children where they learned
more about her husbands experiences in
the military. A speech she gave at an earlier
Toastmasters gathering centered around her
familys pet dogs and their antics. She said
she often draws inspiration from her family
and from beautiful Calvert County.
Cristo has been in Toastmasters less
than a year and hasnt yet earned the competent communicator qualification yet,
which involves going through the first of
the Toastmasters manuals and achieving a
number of goals. She has one goal left to
finish before earning the title of competent
communicator.
She is a Calvert County employee with
the Department of Community Planning
and Building. Her job requires frequent
public speaking and she got involved in the
Toastmasters as a work training program.
Participating in the speech contests were a
personal challenge to broaden her horizons,
Cristo said.
Ive thoroughly, unexpectedly enjoyed the speaking competition, she said,
adding that she intends on being involved
next year.

Calvert Cliffs, NRC Welcome Community Input

By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
Representatives from Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Facility and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission
came to Prince Frederick for an open house on May 2 to answer any questions or concerns from the
community.
This is an annual event, according to Calvert Cliffs Senior Resident Inspector Silas Kennedy. Some
years, not many community members come out. Other times, like during the meeting right after the
Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster and when it looked like there may be a third reactor built at Calvert
Cliffs, 20 or more people will come out.
The open house came on the heels of the shut down of unit 1 at Calvert Cliffs on May 1.
Unit 1 at the Calvert Cliffs nuclear power plant automatically scrammed (shut down) during the
testing of the Reactor Protection System.
According to a Calvert Cliffs Press release, the shutdown was uncomplicated, with all safety sys-
Photos by Sarah Miller
tems functioning as designed.

The NRC Resident Inspector assigned to Calvert Cliffs responded to the control
room and determined preliminarily that operator response appeared to be appropriate.
Our inspectors will continue to follow up on the event, including any troubleshooting and
repairs.
Unit 1 was brought back online on May 5, following the successful completion of
electrical maintenance work. Unit 2 continued to operate at full power during the brief
Unit 1 outage.

CMH Breast Center Receives Komen Grant

Funding Provides Mentoring, Survivorship Support
Calvert Memorial Hospital has received another grant
from Susan G. Komen Maryland to offer mentoring and
survivorship support services at the Sheldon E. Goldberg
Center for Breast Care. The SOS (Survivors Offer Support)
program now in its third year at CMH provides peer
emotional support and practical advice to newly diagnosed
patients as they cope with the challenges and changes they
experience during treatment.
SOS also offers a partner support workshop for spouses,
significant others and family members of newly diagnosed
patients along with Transition to Wellness workshops for
survivors evolving from treatment to wellness.
We are very grateful to Komen Maryland for providing
this grant that will allow us to continue offering these vital
services to our community, said Kasia Sweeney, administrative chair for the breast center at CMH. SOS helps make
the cancer journey less overwhelming by providing essential
information and a shoulder to lean on.
Komen Maryland awarded grants to seven programs on
the Eastern Shore and Southern Maryland. The funds support
programs focused on screening, emergency assistance, community outreach and survivorship services.
Calverts breast center brings together a team of breast
health experts including breast imaging specialists from
Johns Hopkins with an experienced navigator back by the
latest technology in one comfortable and convenient location.
The center is located on the hospitals main campus in Prince
Frederick.
Our volunteers can offer insight like no one else can
because theyve tackled the disease themselves, said Denise
ONeill, who coordinates the SOS program at Calvert. She is
at the CMH breast center on Fridays but can also be reached
by phone at 410-535-8731 or by email at doneill@cmhlink.
org.
The survivor volunteers have successfully transitioned

SOS Coordinator at Calvert and Kelly Kesler, Community Health Director, Komen Maryland.
into life after breast cancer and share a desire to use their cancer experience to help others battle breast cancer. ONeill said
matches are made based on the patients age, stage, surgery
and treatment as well as interests and family background.
SOS is a very flexible volunteer program, she said,
It allows survivors to give back in a meaningful way in the
capacity that they can. We ask them to mentor at least one
person per year.
According to ONeill, volunteers typically spend 20-25
hours per year based on their schedule. Phone skills are definitely important. Most contact is by phone or email, she said,
but we coach them to meet in person at least once.
To participate, mentors must submit an application along
with two signed physician referrals, undergo an interview and
complete a 4-hour training program. Im always available to
support the mentors, said ONeill. They can call me at any
time if they have questions or concerns.

Calvert County Republican

Candidates Forum
A Calvert County Republican
Candidates Forum is set for Thursday,

Candidates Forum is sponsored by
the Calvert County Republican Central Committee and supported by the
Republican Women of Calvert County, the Republican Women Leaders
of Calvert, the Republican Women of
Southern Calvert, and the Republican
Mens Club.
Four years ago these same groups
came together and sponsored a very

and open to the public.
All Republican candidates --incumbents and hopefuls alike-- for
Congressional, State Legislative and

expected and most of the Federal

contested Congressional race to the
locally charged commissioner races,
the evening will provide a chance
for all to hear those vying for these
offices make the case for your vote.
Over 25 local offices from the Central
Committee to the Governors office
are in play this year. The 5th Congressional seat is also at stake. Many
candidate bios are posted at the GOP

website: www.calvertgop.org.
Political materials including
bumper stickers and yard signs will
be available. From 6 p.m. to 7 p.m.,
citizens have the opportunity to talk
with candidates. At 7 p.m., the Forum
will begin with Moderator R. Calvert
Steuart, founding partner of Steuart
& Steuart Attorneys at Law, and who
is active in many civic organizations.
He is also President of the Calvert
County Republican Mens Club. Following introductions and brief remarks by candidates, questions from
the audience will follow.
Ella Ennis, Chairman of the
Republican Central Committee and
Cynthia Steuart, Chairman of the
Candidates Forum, encourage all
interested voters to attend the May
15th Forum, ask questions, and be
informed citizens for the upcoming
June 24 Primary. Free refreshments

nine years as a stay-at-home mother to
four children. While at home, she began
making hand-sewn gifts for family and
friends. In 2007, McGivern purchased
a monogram machine and started her
own label, The Sassy Seamstress. She
sold her creations in local boutiques and
gift shops until March 3, 2010, when she
opened The The Sassy Seamstress Boutique in Dunkirk.
Three weeks after the boutique
opened, a fire started at the paint store
next door. Although the store was not
damaged, all the merchandise suffered

smoke and water damage. The building
was compromised and would need to be
renovated. This meant another opening
and a new name The Sassy Shoppe.
The shop has had an extensive selection of products perfect for best friends,
bridesmaids, birthday girls, graduates,
moms, dads, hostesses, housewarmings, children and babies. There are
hand painted wine glasses from North
Carolina, Trollbead and a wide variety
of candles, purses, wallets and trinkets.
New items come in all the time, she said.
Anything purchased at the shop can
be monogrammed free of charge. McGivern will monogram items brought
into the store for $8 per item. Gift-wrapping is available free of charge.
The Sassy Shoppe is available for
parties. There are three types of kids
parties, Paint n Pizza, Monograms and
Manicures and Glam Girl, and a party
just for adults the Girls Night Out.
McGivern said she owes her success
to the welcoming and supportive local
community and individuals who shop at
local small businesses. She is also grateful to her five employees, all of whom
have been with her from the beginning.
In the future, McGivern hopes to
open a second store in Annapolis, though
she fully intends to maintain her current
location.
I want to stay true to my roots, she
said.
The Sassy Shoppe hosts a variety
of community events to give back to the
community. There is a ladies night every
December and June. There are beach
season and back to school monogramming promotions. Any teachers who
come in on May 8 receive 20 percent off
their purchases.

The Calverton School, in conjunction with Dominion Energy K-12 Educational Partnership, sent three science teachers
to the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) Conference in Boston, MA. Through a grant sponsored by Dominion Energy, The Calverton School Teachers attended a STEM
track in which they learned about environmental preservation
and energy conservation. The Calverton School will be holding a workshop this summer to share techniques and project
based learning tools with teachers from other public and private schools in the Southern Maryland region. According to the
Digest of Education Statistics, a recent study shows that of 2.8
million high school graduates, only one million move on to either a two or four year college. And of those one million, fewer
than 300,000 are majoring in STEM fields and only 167,000 are
expected to be STEM graduates in the coming years. The focus
on STEM, both in the public sector and in the private sector,
has gained national attention. Dr. Spencer Taintor was quoted
in saying, We are lucky to be working with Dominion energy
in bringing further awareness and tools to local teachers on the
importance of STEM Education. The Calverton School believes
that it is our responsibility, as an independent private school, to
help foster the skills and interest in STEM fields so that teachers and students are prepared for the industries of tomorrow.
The Calverton School was awarded a Dominion Energy K-12
Educational Partnership Grant in August of 2013.

STORY
The Calvert County Historical Society

Preserving the Past for the Future
By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
Utilizing a combination of volunteers and donations, the Calvert County
Historical Society (CCHS) is working to
preserve the history of Calvert County for
the future.
Current projects include finding information on African American history
and locating historical sites, according to
CCHS Director Leila Boyer.
The CCHS is rapidly running out of
room, Boyer said. They hope to get funding for an interior staircase to the basement at Linden, which would afford more
storage space.
The Calvert County Historical Society, Inc. was founded in 1953 by a small
group of concerned Calvert County residents. On May 5, 1954, articles of incorporation were made part of the public record which stated that the main purpose of
the Society was to further the collection
of historical data and records concerned
with Calvert County and other materials
bearing on the history of the State and Nation, including private letters, documents,
manuscripts, early events and acts as recorded in structures and works of public
and private nature.
At the headquarters, visitors can find
a wealth of valuable early county history.
Gifts to the CCHS over the years have
been varied and interesting, and have
made important contributions to the understanding of the uniqueness and richness of the Countys history. The research
library continues to grow in volume and
diversity. Family papers describing first
person accounts of historical events, wills,
family Bibles, original manuscripts, photographs, published histories and a growing video library are but a small part of the
collection. Portraits, pieces of furniture
and artifacts have been entrusted to the
Societys care.
Everyone who walks through the
door has a story and a challenge for us,
Boyer said.
In addition to preserving items, volunteers at the CCHS help visitors with a
number of projects, from researching family genealogies to collecting materials for
school projects.
Currently, the CCHS is appealing to
the community to bring in materials pertaining to the history of African Americans in the county. This could include
anything from birth records to written accounts, Boyer said.
Former Calvert County Public
Schools principal Chris Banks has been
volunteering with the CCHS since August
2013. Signing up to volunteer was one of
the first things she did after retiring, and
since she has been helping expand the African American history section.
Banks has been working on various
jobs dealing with our Calvert County African American Archives, and is always
willing to pitch in when we need help
in any area, Boyer said. Expanding the
African American archives is one of the
CCHSs largest current projects, Boyer
said.
One of Bankss first assignments was
to compile information on local teacher
and civil rights activist Harriett Elizabeth
Brown. In 1937, Brown approached the
Calvert County Board of Education seeking pay equal to white employees. Brown
wrote to Thurgood Marshall, who came
down to personally address the board of
education. Brown finally managed to ensure black and white teachers were paid
equally, Banks said.
Another CCHS project is finding historically significant locations and getting
signs for them marking them as such.
Board of Directors President Guffrie
Smith has been helping find locations and
obtain signage. So far, there are markers
for Brookes Elementary School, the Wallville School, Mount Hope, among others.
Smith sends informaiton to the Maryland
Historical Trust for evaluation before reciving a marker. The latest sites submitted to the historical trust are the Patuxent
United Methodist Church, a building at
the corner of Rt 231 and Mason Road that
was an African American funeral home,
Brooks United Methodist Church and the
Masonic Lodge in Prince Frederick. The
goal behind making historically significant areas is to get information into the
community.
If people know theres a story behind it, it means so much more to them,
Boyer said.
Volunteers are a huge component of
maintaining the archives and running the
CCHS. Rosemary Dwaley has been working to create a digital catalogue of items
in the CCHS collection. Mary Rockafeller
does all the filing in the vault, where
there are files on families, businesses and
even gravesites in Calvert County. Dwaley
is the only one allowed to file in the vault,
Boyer said. This allows for consistency in
the files and ease of access.
Additionally, Rockafeller and her
husband travel throughout the county
searching for old graves and documenting
them for the archives.
Huntingtown High School senior
Malcolm Jordan came to the CCHS for
service learning hours, required for his
graduation, and stayed on to help transcribe the Freedmens Bureau records.
Jordan helps in other ways as well,
like doing some of the heavy lifting when
we need it!, Boyer said. Well miss him
when he goes to college next year!
Jordan said his time at the CCHS
has been a learning experience and it has
been interesting to learn more about local
history.
Former Department of Defense employee Greg Stottlemyer has been converting interviews from cassette tape to
DVD format, first working through a program on his laptop computer then with a
conversion machine on loan to the CCHS.
Doing the conversion on his laptop was
time consuming and tedious, Stottlemyer
said, and having a machine that can do
the conversion and recording cleanup has
helped speed up the process.
Stottlemyer is involved with a number of volunteer organizations and said
they become social groups. He enjoys his
work with the CCHS and looks forward to
his next project.
The CCHS went through a tough time
following the death of the former archivist, who had volunteered in that capacity
for 11 years and had a good deal of institutional knowledge in her memory, Boyer
said.
The CCHS hosts a number of fundraisers and community events during the
year, supplemented by events and donations given by community partners, Boyer
said. Community partners include Brothers Johnson, Inc., the Calvert Soil Conservation District, the Community Bank
of the Chesapeake, Johnsons Bus Service,
Inc. and Rymer and Associates, CPA.

The CCHS hosts a Brown Bag Lunch
Program from January through October
on the third Thursday of every month at
noon. Upcoming fundraisers include the
dinner and silent auction on May 22 and a
spring tea for members and guests on May
30. In addition to CCHS-planned fundraisers, community partners hold fundraisers and donate proceeds to the CCHS.
Funding goes to preserve Linden and
to purchase items on the CCHS wish list.
The county owns Linden and the
CCHS pays $1 per year to remain in the
location, Boyer said.
The CCHS wish list includes a large,
flatbed scanner to digitalize the large collection of Calvert Independent newspapers donated to the society and funding
for an Optical Character Scanner, which
would allow anyone to search digitalized
documents by keyword.
For more information, visit www.calverthistory.org. The CCHS office is located at 70 Church Street in Prince Frederick
and is open Tuesday through Thursday, 10
a.m. to 3 p.m.

The Story of Caryl Chessman

Caryl Chessman, executed 54
years ago, has been the subject of a
folk ballad, two motion pictures and
several books almost all of them
written by anti-death penalty activists insulated from inner-city crime
by secure buildings.
Chessman would have been
an unlikely candidate for judicial
reform.
The Chessmans were not atypical of pre-depression-era families.
Father Cerl and mother, Hallie, uprooted from St. Joseph, Michigan
to Glendale, California when Caryl
was a child, believing the change in
climate would benefit Hallies health.
Cerl operated a filling station.
While not prosperous, the Chessmans lived comfortably in the suburbs of Pasadenia. In 1929 when
Caryl was 8, Hallie Chessman was
left paralyzed from the waist down
in an auto accident. Young Caryls
nose and jaw were broken as well
leaving him with an undeserved
arrogant, jaunty air. Coupled with a
widows peak, his injuries conspired
to give him a somewhat creepy
appearance.
Cerl had to sell the family business to pay the medical bills. Caryl
was dubbed hooknose by other
students. He changed the spelling of
his given name Carol to Caryl
to escape the taunts of classmates.
Chessmans anger became
directed at the ultimate authority figure God. Too, society was
the conglomeration of all authority
figures, and was the recipient of his
anger, indignation and ultimately the
cause of his antisocial behavior.
At the age of 16, he stole his
first car. Before he could stand trial
on the theft charge, he stole his second. Although he would later tell
credulous reporters he got his start
in crime stealing groceries, his real
passion was stolen cars, not bread.

By the time he was 27, Chessman had spent the great majority of
his adult life in prison.
In January of 1948, the Los Angeles area was terrorized by a series
of lovers lane robberies. The motius operandi was always the same:
a man in a gray Ford coupe with a
blinking red light of the type used
by police, would approach a vehicle
brandishing a pistol. In two of the
robberies, the female occupant was
forced to exit the car, and moved
several yards to the bushes. One of
them, a 17 year-old named Mary Alice Meza, sustained permanent psychological damage.
Chessmans luck ran out on
Jan. 23, 1948, following a clothing
store robbery. He was apprehended
following a high-speed chase.
An old .45 pistol and pen flashlight of the type used by the man the
press identified as The Red Light
Bandit was discovered in stolen
Ford.
Chessman was charged with 17
counts including two counts of violating Section 209 of the California
Penal Code a state law modeled after the Federal governments Little
Lindbergh statue which provides
for capital punishment if the victim
of an abduction suffers grievous personal injury.
At trial, Chessman insisted on
representing himself. Against the
advice of his court-appointed cocounsel, he foolishly packed the jury
with women some of whom had
daughters Ms. Mezas age.
In July, 1948, Chessman was
convicted on all counts. The all-female jury withheld any recommendation for mercy on the two most serious counts, meaning a mandatory
death penalty.
Judge Charles Fricke sentenced
Chessman to death in San Quentins
gas chamber - twice.
During the trial, an event occurred which would make the Chessman case the longest-running death
penalty case in California history.
The court reporter died suddenly. A relative of the prosecuting
attorney - a notorious alcoholic -was
brought in to complete the transcript. The new transcript contained
hundreds of errors so many that
Chessman could now claim that he
had effectively been denied his right
to a daily record of his trial.
While on death row, Chessman
wrote three books. One of them
Cell 2455 Death Row dominated
the bestseller lists. Chessman was
guided through his appeals by attorney Rosalie Asher. Although he reportedly mouthed TELL ROSALIE
ITS ALRIGHT from inside the
death chamber, he never acknowledged her in any of his books or
thanked her when it mattered.
Time ran out for Chessman on
May 2, 1960. He was given a fresh
white shirt, as was the established
custom in California. A guard removed his partial bridge before the
chamber door swung shut.
But even as the cyanide gas,
resembling cigarette smoke, rose under him, the phone rang with news of
yet another postponement.
Its too late, the shaken Warden said into the mouthpiece. The
pellets have already been dropped.
The execution was too far
along to safely stop. It was over in
eight minutes.
The one-hour stay had been to
consider a claim in Argosy magazine fingering another man as the
real Red Light Bandit.

letters. The Calvert Gazette cannot guarantee that every letter or photo(s) submitted will be published, due to time or space constraints.
Chessman took the fall for a man

named Terrnova to protect a daughter. In fact, Chessman was anything but self-sacrificing, calling
his bedridden mother to testify at
trial, to cite just one example of his
selfishness.
The NBC telefilm questions
the identification of Chessman by
his victim. As Clark Howard points
out in his outstanding summary of
the case, when Regina Johnson, the
second victim, was brought in to
view Chessman at the Hollywood
station, he dropped his eyes, turned
and refused to look at her.
John Gays screenplay strongly
imples an unspoken romantic bond
between Chessman and Ms. Asher.
If Chessman was truly capable of
loving anyone other than himself,
those feelings almost certainly were
not reciprocated by Ms. Asher, who
died a spinster.
Chessmans claim that police at
the Hollywood station tortured him
into confessing simply dont hold
water.
The station house was jammed
with reporters drawn by radio broadcasts about an arrest. As for the
claim that police were under intense

pressure to make an arrest because
of screaming headlines: The local press all but ignored the Red
Light crimes which received scant
coverage.
As attempts to save his life
failed, Chessman wrote of his pending execution:
I am not disturbed by outrageous assurances that I am headed
straight for the hottest and most
horrible part of hell. Whenever and
however it comes, my physical death
will mean only a total cessation of
consciousness. And if hell, by some
one-in-ten billion chance turns out
to be a reality, I am convinced that
the Prince of Darkness will be taxed
to decree a torture I would regard as
merely an annoyance after my conditioning by the state of California.
End of soliloquy.

Calvert Hospice
Gets It Right
With a heavy heart I read the latest Washington Post article (Terminal
Neglect? How Some Hospices Decline
to Treat the Dying) lambasting the hospice industry for not providing the higher
levels of care: continuous care and general inpatient (GIP) when patients need
it. Unfortunately, this latest investigative
reporting by the Washington Post continues its general thesis from a previous
article last December: the hospice industry, dominated by for profit providers, is
doing a lousy job.
In my years of working in the hospice industry, I have seen many for profits
focus solely on the bottom line NOT the
patients or service. Often compromising
the quality of service provided to save a
dollar or make one. Thus a bad rap for all
hospices.
I am proud of the great care and
compassion our hometown nonprofit hospice program provides. Calvert Hospice
does provide GIP and Continuous Care
Levels of Care. We have an agreement
with Calvert Memorial Hospital to provide (GIP) general inpatient level of care
when deemed necessary. We have also
provided continuous care on at least 2
occasions within the last 6 months alone.
When the situation warrants continuous
care and the patient agrees, we normally
send the patient to our Burnett Calvert
Hospice House. Again, our mission is
to provide compassionate care for those
living with a serious illness and we are

committed to our patients, families and
service, not sales.
It is a complicated issue and hospices have been criticized when they dont
provide enough of these higher levels
of care, as is the case in the Washington Post article and criticized when they
provide too much as cited in Compliance Program, Guidance for Hospices
published by the Office of the Inspector General (OIG). The article discusses
both underutilization and over-utilization or billing for a higher level of service than was necessary as hospice risk
areas.
Clearly this Washington Post article and the previous one last December
inflame negative reactions to hospice.
What gets lost in the shuffle of this negative publicity are the hundreds and hundreds of hospices that are doing amazing
things every day to take care of patients
and their families.
As stated by the CEO of National
Hospice and Palliative Care Organization Don Schumacher, There are two
kinds of hospices in America: the ones
that get it right, and those that should be
out of business. Calvert Hospice is proud
to be one of the many hospices that DOES
get it right!

Thank Mothers
for Giving Life
As we are approaching Mothers Day,
we should look at mothers from a Christian
world view and see how they fit into Gods
plan for mankind.
God has given women the incredible
opportunity of continuing the human race
by having children. Some women may not
be able to have children, some may choose
not to, and others may choose to have one,
two, etc. However, there is a responsibility that goes with that opportunity. In Luke
12:48 NASB, Jesus said From everyone
who has been given much, much will be
required. Regardless of how a woman became pregnant, God will hold each woman
accountable for how she cared for the child
in her womb.
On Jan. 28, 1973, the U. S. Supreme
Court decided that what is growing in a
pregnant womans womb isnt a child, but
a blob of tissue like tonsils that can be cut
out and discarded. They issued the Roe
vs. Wade and Doe vs. Bolton decisions that
gave each pregnant woman (sometimes a
teenager) the authority to decide whether
to continue the pregnancy and give birth to

a child or to have an abortion and end that
childs life.
With the exception of children born to
women who didnt have access to an abortion, everyone in the U. S. born after that
date is a result of a pro-life decision by the
mother. Because of those decisions, many
baby girls and baby boys were and are being
born with the opportunities to grow up and
become mothers and fathers. Also, many
people have the opportunity to be fathers,
grandparents, uncles, aunts, brothers and
sisters, etc.
We should certainly honor all mothers,
but especially those who became mothers
after the Supreme Court decisions. They
not only chose life for the child in their
womb, but many have taken on the difficult task of raising righteous children in an
increasing sinful world. They deserve our
respect, our prayers and all the help we can
give them.

Outdoor entertaining is one of the joys

of nicer weather. People routinely gather
on the patio or around the pool when the
weather warms up, and such recreational
activities can foster companionship and reduce stress. However, if nuisance animals
and insects are sharing entertaining spaces,
these pests can quickly put a damper on the
festivities.
While it may seem impossible to keep
an outdoor entertaining area completely
pest-free, there are ways to keep such unwanted intrusions manageable.
Identify common pests
Yard pests vary depending on geography, so the first step is to figure out
which pests are native to your area. Mosquitoes can be found in many locales, but
certain insects may be exclusive to specific
regions. For example, palmetto bugs are
native to moist, tropical areas, such as the
southeastern United States.
In addition to insects, squirrels, moles,
raccoons, and other rodents may also descend on a property. Neighborhoods that
abut natural ecosystems or infringe on wild
animals' habitats may see a wider array
of animals encroaching on entertaining
spaces. Deer, bears, coyotes, and certain
bird species can present their own brands
of trouble. Homeowners new to an area
may have to experience a learning curve
to determine which pests are common to a
certain area, as well as which seasons bring
which creatures.
Try natural repellents first
To minimize damage to the environment and to protect local wildlife, homeowners should exhaust natural ways to repel pests before resorting to less eco-friendly methods. Animals can be kept out of a
yard with fences and other barriers, such
as thorny bushes. Many pests are deterred
by smells or certain structures in a lawn
or garden. For example, inserting chicken

wire into a garden bed may be enough to
repel burrowing animals. Certain insects,
such as flies and mosquitoes, find the aromas of citronella grass, basil and marigold
offensive. Surrounding a property with
these plants can create a natural bug repellent. Lavender and rosemary are other
aromatics that may deter pests. Blood meal
and soap solutions can repel deer and other
wildlife that may feed on garden plants.
Pests attracted to food can be kept
at bay with frequent sweeping or hosing
down of the patio. In addition, maintain a
clean grill and store trash in tightly secured
receptacles.
Consider more traditional alternatives
If natural repellents do not work,
you may need to rely on more traditional
products to repel insects and other pests.
Beetle traps lure beetles with an inviting
scent before the beetle gets trapped in a
bag and cannot exit. Traps for wasps and
flies follow a similar premise. Bug zappers
are largely viewed as an inhumane option
but can be highly effective. Unfortunately,
these zappers also attract and kill beneficial
insects, such as bees and butterflies.
Chemical repellents also are available.
Stores stock pesticides that will rid plants
of damaging insects. These repellents also
may be used around the patio to make the
area inhospitable to insects and other pests.
Contact an exterminator
If the problem is simply too difficult to
manage on your own, then you might need
to contact an exterminator, who can spray
the perimeter of the home for bugs and can
also be called in to safely trap and remove
nuisance animals. An exterminator may
also have detailed knowledge of protected
species and which habitats can and cannot
be disturbed.

Cox Art Center Presents

Inaugural Art Show
By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
When was the last time you
looked at the clouds?
The first art show at Cox Art
Center, Clouds Remind You To
Look Up, is designed to make
you do just that. Local artist Linda Gottfried created a series of
acrylic paintings featuring the sky,
and clouds, in different lights and
weather, from green tinted storms
to the fluffy clouds she and her
sister used to look up at and find
shapes in.
She said clouds inspire me because its like God talking to us.
Gottfried has been painting
since she was a child. She remembers painting in the back of her
classroom during second grade
while other children were reading out loud. Her teacher used the
paintings to decorate the classroom, Gottfried said. She stopped
painting for a while when she was a
teenager. She took a painting class
during college, but didnt really get
back into painting until 2007. She
was between jobs and her husband,
Brad Gottfried, told her she had to
make it productive or shed regret
it. Gottfried took the opportunity
to begin painting again she got
a large canvas and painted a scene
of an early morning sunrise for
her husband. After that, she kept
painting.
Gottfried paints scenes from
all over Southern Maryland, aiming
to capture the atmosphere of a moment instead of creating replicas.
I dont paint exactly, she said.
I just paint the feeling. She calls
her paintings memoryscapes.
Gottfried has known Cox Art
Center owners Ray and Phyllis
Noble for years. Ray was the medical director with Calvert Hospice, the organization Gottfried works for. Ray
and Phyllis made a stained glass window for her house, and
when they dropped it off, Ray saw Gottfrieds paintings
and asked if shes ever had a gallery show before. Gottfried
hadnt, and he suggested she make her first show the first at
the art center.
