New Stage at Marine Museum Ready to Rock
The Calvert Gazette
By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
The Summer Concert Series is a major fundraiser
for the Calvert Marine Museum. This year, performers
will be entertaining from a brand new stage.
The new stage has been a community effort, according to Director of Development Vanessa Gill. A
number of local builders and engineers reduced their
fees and PNC bank signed up for a five-year sponsorship, which helped fund the project.
We had some very generous people involved,
Gill said.
Phase one of the project, which included designing
and engineering the stage, began in November. Phase
two, which included the construction of the stage, began
in January.
The museum has been holding concerts since
1985, Gill said. The last stage was built in 1997.
Recently, the summer concert series has been
drawing more A-List performers, such as Daughtry
and The Band Perry. Such acts require more space than
the museum could offer, Gill said. She was only able

to book Rascal Flatts because of the plans for a new,

larger stage.
Building the stage required quite a bit of engineering, Gill said. It was not like building a house the
stage had to be able to hold thousands of pounds worth
of equipment and be able to stand up to the elements.
Mike Havenner of Mastercraft Homes builds hundreds of homes every year, but the stage was something
different, he said. The stage is something for the community, not just one family, to use and enjoy for years
to come.
R&R Fabrication co-owner Randy Williams said
the steelwork took nearly two months, from preparation
to assembly and placement at the museum. The wood
siding and roof were built by an Amish craftsman and
designed to resemble the existing buildings at the museum, Gill said. The new stage is 20 feet wide and 39.5
feet high at the apex, which Gill said should be enough
to accommodate sound and light equipment for the largest acts signed up for concerts.
The building process wasnt entirely smooth
construction was delayed due to the severe winter
weather, and Gill broke her back during a sledding accident. While she was recovering, Havenner jumped in
to make sure paperwork was filed, walking permit applications right to peoples desks at some points. When
Gill returned to work, she saw the roof was off the old
stage. They had hit the point of no return and all she
could think was what have we done, she said.
Now with the completion of the project, Gill is
grateful to the numerous individuals who banded together to make new stage a reality.
Im excited to have something, a legacy.

Significant Turtle Fossil Found In Accokeek

More than 30 years of combing the streambed for sharks
teeth has left retired farmer, Bernard Kuehn, from Accokeek,
Md., with quite a rare find. A soft shell turtle fossil that lived more
than 58 million years ago from the Paleocene epoch was found
along the bank of Accokeek Creek in early May. This is only the
third known specimen of this species found. Kuehn has generously donated the specimen to the Calvert Marine Museum.
Peter Kranz, Paleontologist with Dinosaur Park in Laurel,
Md., first investigated the fossil and contacted the Calvert Marine
Museum for help in quarrying. With a majority of the shell preserved in the rock it was impossible to dig out the specimen by the
normal methods with hammers and chisels. Joe and Devin Fer-

nandez from Diamond Core Drilling and Sawing Company located in Riverdale, Md. came to the rescue with a diamond blade
chainsaw to cut the turtle out of the rock. This job would not have
been possible without their help.
See the fossil in the Prep Lab at the Calvert Marine Museum
where it will take many months to remove the rock from around
the bones. It can then be studied by our paleontologists to learn
more specific information about this rare specimen.

access to a company retirement plan, even less participate
and maximize their savings potential and most make poor
investment decisions.

Democratic Women Welcome BOCC
Candidate, Awards Scholarships
The Calvert Gazette
By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
The primary election is drawing near, and candidates are finding venues
to get their message across. The Calvert County Democratic Womens Club offered a chance to Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) candidate Michael
J. Moore (Dem.) during their May 21 meeting.
Moore chose to run for a seat on the BOCC because there is a need for
members who are connected to the past and future of the county, he said. The
BOCC needs to invest in the future of the county, which means helping young
adults remain in the county. He has seen young men and women get college
degrees and leave the county because there are no career or affordable housing
options in Calvert, Moore said.
He intends to address the Department of Community Planning and Building and make it easier for parents to give land to their children so they can build
and live close to home.
We need elected officials willing to look at the bigger picture, Moore said.
He wants to look at the planning process to make is easier for business
owners considering coming to Calvert. He advocates government transparency,
saying decisions should be made for the good of the people and not political reasons. He worries about the BOCC rubber stamping for the department heads and
hoped to ensure the BOCC is the final entity making decisions for the county.
Also during the meeting, the club awarded $1,000 scholarships to Northern High School senior Janine Ivy and Huntingtown High School senior Katie
Smith. Both young women are active in local Young Democrats groups and will
be going to college in the fall.

Multi-Agency
Investigation Results
in Several Indictments
of Heroin Dealers
The Annapolis Police Department, in close partnership with the Calvert County
Sheriffs Office and assisted by Anne Arundel County Police Department and the
Maryland State Police, conducted a long term investigation resulting in the indictments of nine Annapolis heroin dealers. This multi-agency drug initiative involved
undercover police officers making controlled purchases from drug dealers spanning
more than seven months.
In response to an increase in heroin overdoses, detectives from the Calvert
County Sheriffs Office Drug Enforcement Unit contacted the Annapolis Police Department in October 2013. Through their investigations, DEU detectives learned that
drug users from Calvert County were buying heroin in Annapolis, prompting them to
contact the Annapolis Police Department Drug Enforcement Unit.
The Annapolis Police Departments Drug Enforcement Unit identified two
groups responsible for the majority of heroin distributed in Annapolis. The initiative
involved Annapolis detectives working hand in hand with Calvert County Sheriffs
detectives to make over 50 controlled buys of heroin, with over 100 grams of heroin
seized. The indictments, resulting from these buys, will shut down these illegal drug
trafficking groups in Annapolis.
Early this morning the Annapolis Police Department and the Anne Arundel
County Police Department began the process of arresting those indicted. Various
search warrants have been served. Arrests have been made and more will follow in
the next few days
Sheriff Evans recognizes that the increase of heroin use is one of the biggest
challenges facing our community. There have been seven fatal heroin overdoses so
far this year in Calvert County. Many of the crimes that occur in Calvert County, including thefts and burglaries are directly related to this epidemic. This multi-agency
investigation is an excellent example of Sheriff Evans commitment to take decisive
action to disrupt the sale and use of heroin impacting the citizens of Calvert County.
I will continue to keep our citizens safe from the drugs that have plagued our
County, State and Country. I do not care how far that I have to reach or how much
effort it will take. We will fight against having drugs, fight for our children and fight
for each person in Calvert County. Sheriff Mike Evans.

er, there are some programs that are too

expensive to replicate on more than one
campus, such as our trades programs and
nursing and allied health. It makes much
more sense to centralize these programs
so residents of all three counties can take
full advantage of them. This will allow us
to operate in a very cost-effective manner,
while being more conveniently located,"
CSM President Dr. Brad Gottfried said.
Other phases proposed for the campus and reflected in the master plan include a Health Science building, a Fine
Arts building, a field house and relocation of the colleges athletic fields as well
as space to accommodate future needs.
In presenting the master plan, Grimm +
Parkers Senior Associate David Prevette
said, This is a beautiful piece of property
with a gentle slope that has a lot of opportunity. He also noted a natural sense
of wayfinding and provided opportunities
for gathering into the master plan.
It will be an impressive campus to
see as you drive by, with the Health Sciences Building facing Route 5 and commanding the site similar to how the Flagship Building does at the Prince Frederick Campus for passers-by on Route
231, Gottfried said during the Trustee
meeting.
In addition to campuses in La Plata, Leonardtown and Prince Frederick,
CSM also runs the CTET in Waldorf, the
Center for Transportation Training in La
Plata, and partners with the University of
Maryland, University College in operating the UMUC-CSM Waldorf Center for
Higher Education.
A regional community college serving Calvert, Charles and St. Marys counties, CSM serves more than 27,600 credit

Considers Rising Prices
of School Lunches,
Recognizes Volunteers
By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
Prices for school lunches are on
the rise, according to a presentation
during the May 22 Board of Education meeting.
Currently, elementary school
breakfasts are $1.45, elementary
school lunches are $2.35 and secondary school lunches are $2.50.
These prices have not changed since
the 2011-2012 school year, said Food
Services Coordinator Donald Knode
during the presentation. Proposed
meal prices for the 2014-2015 school
year are $1.55 for elementary school
breakfasts, $2.50 for elementary
school lunches and $2.65 for secondary school lunches.
The price increase would compensate for the rising cost of food,
Knode said. Increased food costs
can be attributed to more stringent
food mandates, which include offering more expensive alternatives and
additional produce.
Also during the Board of Education meeting, the board took time
to recognize and thank the 19 volunteers of the year. Every school names
one outstanding volunteer to be celebrated at the meeting.

CCPS Ponders Rising

Costs of Healthcare
By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
I need to dispel the idea that any money from the increase is going into the pockets of CareFirst, said CareFirst BlueCross
BlueShield representative Trish Layman
during a meeting with Calvert County Public Schools, Calvert Education Association
(CEA), Calvert County government and the
Calvert Association of Educational Support
Staff.
The rising costs of health insurance are
due to the costs of health care and medications, she said, maintaining that CareFirst is
a non-profit organization.
Health care costs for CCPS employees

are projected to increase by 13 percent in the
next fiscal year. This is nearly double of the
national average, which is seven percent,
according to CEA President Deborah Russ.
The CEA is working with former CCPS
Chief Financial Officer Gordon Smith and
MESA representative Daniel Gottheimer to
study the increase, Russ said. They intend
to meet with CCPS administrative staff and
Blue Cross Blue Shield representatives in
an affort to bring the increase closer to the
national average.

STORY
Superintendent
Search
Coming to an End
Board of Education to
Name a Superintendent in June
12
Each superintendent candidate was asked to

provide a brief biography to Calvert County Public Schools.
Their responses, as shared with media outlets, are below
Daniel D. Curry, Ed.D.
Dr. Dan Curry has been Superintendent of Lake Forest School

District in Felton, Delaware since 2003. Under his leadership Lake
Forest has grown to be known for its logo brand Your Best Choice.
He has been a highly visible and active member of the community
and the state. In a district known for voting against new taxes, he
helped to develop the necessary community support that led to the
passage of one operating and two construction referendums.
Since taking the reins, student achievement has grown and staff
training has been upgraded to meet the demands of new tests and
new performance measures. Lake Forest Schools have been recognized for the differences they are making for children from all backgrounds. In the fall of 2013
when the state leaders announced the top 17 reward and recognition schools with $50,000
awarded to each, three of those schools were Lake Forest Schools.
Dr. Curry was named Delaware Superintendent of the Year for 2011. He is Past President of the Delaware Chief School Officers and presently serves on the Executive Committee
of the American Association of School Administrators representing Maryland, Delaware,
West Virginia, Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
He grew up in Fairmont, West Virginia and majored in Elementary Education and minored in Speech and Drama at Fairmont State College. He earned masters and doctorate
degrees in Education Administration from West Virginia University. He taught 4th and 6th
grade. He was an elementary and middle school principal. He worked in the central office
in a variety of assignments and even drove school bus when substitute drivers were not available. He was named superintendent in Pocahontas County at age 34. He also served as
superintendent in Hancock County and Wood County. He served a total of 29 years in West
Virginia prior to moving to Delaware - 15 of those years as school superintendent in county
school districts from 1,500 to 15,000 students.
Dr. Debra S. Munk
By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
The search for a new Superintendent of
Calvert County Public Schools is drawing
to a close, with the final three candidates
having met with several community groups
May 27, 28 and 29. The community groups
will provide observations and recommendations to the Board of Education (BOE),
who will make the final decision in mid-tolate June.
The three candidates for superintendent are Dr. Daniel Curry, who is currently Superintendent of Lake Forest School
District in Felton, Delaware, Dr. Deborah
Munk, who is a consulting principal with
Montgomery County Public Schools and
Mrs. Diane Workman, who is currently the
Assistant Superintendent of Operations for
Calvert County Public Schools.
Over the past several months, the
Board, with the assistance of the Maryland Association of Boards of Education
(MABE), has reviewed more than a dozen
applicants from across the state and even
the nation.
The finalists met with multiple stakeholders and focus groups assembled specifically for this process from across the
county.
Current Interim Superintendent Nancy
V. Highsmith served admirably and competently as Interim Superintendent for the
Calvert County Public Schools during the
2013-2014 school year. Under Maryland
law, however, Superintendents must hold
a superintendents certificate, and the
requirements for that certificate will not
be waived by the Maryland State Superintendent of Schools, who has the final say in
approving any appointment of a Maryland
school superintendent, according to a press
release.
Although the lack of a superintendents certificate makes her ineligible for
the position, it does not reflect badly upon

her. Mrs. Highsmith was fully certified as
a high school principal when she was asked
to take on the additional challenges of being Interim Superintendent during a period
of great need. During that time, Ms. Highsmith brought her full commitment to the
rigors of that difficult job, and the Board is
highly appreciative of her service.
Mrs. Highsmith has been asked to
and plans to stay with the school system.
She is prepared to offer her expertise and
deep organizational knowledge to assist in
a smooth transition.
I am fully supportive of the new superintendent, whomever that may be, and
look forward to helping with a smooth transition, Highsmith said in a press release.
Calvert County Public Schools will always
be in my heart and soul. We have a great
system, and I only wish for its continued
successes.
Several are advocating for Highsmith
to remain in her position. Board of County
Commissioners President Pat Nutter and
Calvert County Sheriff Mike Evans came to
a recent BOE meeting to advocate keeping
Highsmith on as the superintendent. According to Calvert Education Association
President Deborah Russ, a number of teachers feel Highsmith has performed admirably and wish for her to be kept in the position. BOE Vice President Kelly McConkey
posted a link to a petition advocating for
Highsmith to remain in her position. McConkey himself said he advocated keeping
Highsmith as the interim superintendent for
another year and try to get a waiver for the
superintendent certificate.
Highsmith said she doesnt do Facebook and said she is unaware of any petition
circulating on the Internet.
For more information, visit www.calvertnet.k12.md.us.
In fourth grade I wrote in my journal that I wanted to be a

teacher. I have never wavered from that calling. Although for most
of the past 29 years I have worked in administrative positions in
schools and central offices, I have always considered myself a teacher sometimes on special assignment. My passion for teaching and
learning has been a driving force throughout my career.
My journey in education has taken me to three school districts
and a variety of interesting positions. As the Montgomery County
Public Schools secondary English supervisor, I oversaw the development of a new grades 6-12 English curriculum and trained over 400
teachers to implement it in 55 middle schools and high schools. Additionally I was responsible for the development and scoring of reading criterion-referenced
tests for Grades 3-8. While serving as the principal of a middle school and then two high
schools in Frederick and Montgomery Counties, I discovered that I have a talent for improving students academic achievement and closing the achievement gap. During my tenure
at Rockville High School, the school experienced a significant decrease in suspensions and
ineligibility, and a dramatic increase in AP performance and participation, SAT scores, and
graduation rate particularly among African American and Hispanic students.
For this reason I was assigned to supervise and evaluate twelve new middle and high
school principals this year. I have helped them develop and execute school improvement
plans, refine school processes, bolster their instructional programs, and address leadership
challenges. Working with these outstanding new principals has given me the opportunity
to operate again at a system-wide level, hone my supervisory skills, and share what I know.
Additionally I consult nationally with Research for Better Teaching on teacher evaluation and
instructional improvement.
I walk three miles every day and enjoy reading and quilting. I love to travel and have
visited all 50 states and many countries. My husband, Russell, an attorney at the U.S. Treasury Department, is my cheerleader and best friend. Together we have seven children who
are grown and thriving.
Diane Workman
Mrs. Diane Workman is currently the Assistant Superintendent of Operations for Calvert County Public Schools.
Originally from Sayre, Pennsylvania, she began her career as
a special education teacher in Anne Arundel County Public Schools
in 1980.
In addition to her work as a classroom teacher, she served as
a teacher specialist in special education, assistant principal, principal and Director of Special Education. In 2007, she came to work in
Calvert County Public Schools as the Assistant Director of Special
Education.
Since 2007, Mrs. Workman has served in many capacities, including Assistant Director of Instructional Support, principal and most recently Director of
Instruction before being named Assistant Superintendent of Operations. She currently oversees the Departments of Information Technology, Instruction, Special Education, and Student
Services, as well as building-based administrators.
Mrs. Workman earned her Bachelor of Science Degree in Special Education from
Bloomsburg State College in 1980 and a Masters Degree in Reading from Towson University
in 1986. In addition, she earned a certificate in Educational Administration and Supervision
from Bowie State University in 1997.
Mrs. Workman lives in Arnold, MD with her husband, Dennis. They have three children, Kelli in Pittsburgh, Alex in Philadelphia and Christopher at home.

E to the
Dominion: Before and After

It is well worth pointing out that Dominion
LNG's full page ad in Gazette last Thursday showed
what was purported to be a set of photos showing
a serene pair of "Before and After" photos showing
a small body of water surrounded by greenery. Underneath, Dominion states, " For 40 years, the Cove
Point LNG terminal has worked to protect the health
and natural beauty of the bay----- and we won't stop
now."
A look at the photos shows them to be IDENTICAL ! Same cloud formations in the blue sky, same
blades of grass in the foreground! Dominion would
have us believe that the "after" picture is 40 years lat-
er and shows that nothing has been disturbed. This

is yet another scam by Dominion as they try to deceive us with phony photos just to make their case
as a good neighbor like they try to say they are. Lies
and deceit to make their case to press on with their
project shows their true colors! Good neighbors do
not behave like this.
There are still those who drink the "kool aid"
that Dominion LNG puts out. One wonders when
they will see the light.

Join in to Help our Youth

The Collaborative recently began a campaign
promoting the building of a centrally-located community center. The countys current plan has a
Prince Frederick area community center slated for
10 years out, but hundreds of families who live in
the center of the county need a safe place for their
children now. W e advocated for a community pool
for many years, before it came into fruition, and
you, the community, helped us advocate.
We need your help now to move the idea of a
Prince Frederick community center up in priority
in the countys planning. You can help us advocate
by simply sending a letter to the editor and to our
county commissioners letting them know that you
support a centrally-located community center.
The letter or email does not have to be long,
simply write that you would like to see a commu-
nity center that could be used for activities such

as; family and cultural events, arts, learning, and
sporting events. And, if you would also like to see
sporting fields along with a center, please include
that as well.
Thousands of youth are not being served by
the county, and do not have a safe place to play,
socialize, and learn about positive relationships and
team work. Lets make this happen for our families
today.
As we say at the Collaborative, We are the future of our Children. Make them proud of us!

Edward Davenport could have used an editor
when he wrote his latest article. He says "thefirst
successful bombing of a passenger jet in history had
a cost under $2.00"
What about the human cost? I counted at least
38 other passengers and 7 crew members who died
in this incident.
Shame on you for publishing the story in this

COMMISSIONERS CORNER
Honor the Flag

By Susan Shaw
Calvert County Commissioner,
District 2
I am writing this column just before Memorial
Day, the day that we remember and honor all those
who died in service to our country. I attended the
opening ceremony of the Chesapeake Beach Stars
and Stripes Festival on Saturday, May 24th. It was a beautiful, clear
day at Veterans Memorial Park in Chesapeake Beach with the Eastern
Shore clearly visible across the water and with a slight breeze. The
United States Naval Academy Brass Quintet was playing with their
precise music providing a perfect backdrop. The Young Marines were
handing out small flags to those in attendance. I was thinking that
the scene could easily have been painted by Norman Rockwell, with
many of those in attendance wearing patriotic clothing. Mayor Bruce
Wahl, A Viet Nam Veteran, started off the event by asking everyone
to rise and by telling those in attendance who should salute and asking
everyone else to put their right hand over their heart as the Northern
High School NJROTC presented the colors. I was glad that he did
this, even though I knew that those in attendance would be the people
most likely to already know how to honor the flag as the symbol of our
great country. I, personally, find it disappointing that many people,
especially young people, do not seem to know the proper protocol besides standing. I wonder if they need to be told (if they do not know)
or reminded (if they have forgotten) at every occasion that calls for a
formal presentation of the flag of the United States. I wonder if we are
teaching our children in school about respect for the flag. I wonder if
we are losing our sense of patriotism as a nation. I know that organizations like the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Young Marines, and others
teach about the proper treatment of the flag.
Mr. Wayne Karlin, U. S. Marine Corps Vietnam Veteran, author,
and professor at the College of Southern Maryland, was the guest
speaker. He began by reading the names of those in his unit in Viet
Nam who did not come home from the War. Then he spoke eloquently
and personally about one of those whom he had named. The audience
was in rapt attention as he related his own story about his survival,
touching the hearts of those present and reminding us all in a very
powerful way why we were in attendance and also giving us a glimpse
of the parts of himself that were never the same after going to war.
Both Mr. Karlin and Mayor Wahl mentioned the difference in treatment that our returning Vets now receive as they are welcomed home,
and, as, we, as a community mourn the death of a community member
and honor our wounded service members when they come for fishing
R and R in Chesapeake Beach.
This is the contrast that I have difficulty reconciling: on the one
hand, we are very grateful for our active duty service members and
veterans, with a plethora of charities and efforts to look out for their
needs. We are outraged when Veterans Affairs (the VA) does not treat
our Veterans well. We applaud companies that hire Veterans. We
know that a small number of our populace is maintaining freedom
for the rest of us, often at great cost. On the other hand, many of us
fail to do more than stand when we are honoring our flag. Dont we
understand that the flag symbolizes all the sacrifices that we applaud
in our service people?
Both of my parents were WWII Veterans. Of course, their service was a major focal point for their lives. My father was wounded
in action five times. He suffered from nightmares when I was a child
and he was still undergoing medical treatment for the consequences of
his injuries for many years. I remember being at a parade when I was
in elementary school when a teenager failed to put his hand over his
heart as the flag approached. My Dad reminded him: Son, I suffered
a lot for that flag and many others gave their lives. Please remember to
show respect for us. There was an immediate response and a mumbled, Sorry. On behalf of all those who have served, and especially
on behalf of those who have died, please heed my Dads reminder to
show respect and to honor the flag. It is the least we can do!

I Love this Bar
Yo Mammas Celebrates Three Years in Business

By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
Yo Mammas Chicken Wings and Barbeque is celebrating
its third year in business, offering handmade food, cold beer
and friendly faces.
Owner Nathan Gagnon wants Yo Mamas to be one of
these hole-in-the-wall places where you come and get blown
away.
He doesnt intend for Yo Mammas to be a bar that serves

food hes creating a pub that offers fresh, handmade burgers,
wings and barbeque in addition to a wide selection of beverages. None of the meat is frozen but cooked fresh daily, Gagnon said.
People underestimate just how good food is when made
by hand.
Gagnon started out as a customer. When he came back
to Calvert from Florida, Yo Mammas was the only bar that
would accept his out of state license. After a while, he began
working for the bar, eventually taking up slack as owners Dan
Gordon and Mike Buckler began to focus on other business
ventures. Gagnon proposed buying the bar, becoming the
half-owner in January. If all goes according to plan, he will be
the sole owner of the bar by the end of the year, Gagnon said.
Gagnon takes pride in being at the bar every day.
I love this bar, he said, adding that if there are any regulars who want them to be open, even if its on a holiday, then
Yo Mammas will be open for business.

Presenting the professionals' favorite properties on the market.
How to Find the

Right Real Estate Lawyer
Buying or selling real estate is rarely

free of complications. Unforeseen issues
often arise during real estate transactions,
and in such instances a real estate attorney
can prove invaluable. While buyers, sellers
or veteran real estate investors might be
able to handle minor or routine issues on
their own or with the help of their realtor,
more complex matters are best left in the
hands of a real estate attorney.
One of the benefits to hiring a real estate attorney when negotiating a complex
or potentially complex real estate transaction is the expertise that lawyers can bring
to the table. Realtors may have vast experience buying and selling homes, and many
are adept at negotiating as well. But realtors
are not licensed to practice law, and even
the savviest realtor would admit that offering legal advice is not his or her forte.
Men and women involved in complex or
potentially complex real estate transactions
would be wise to hire a real estate attorney,
and the following are a few things to consider before hiring someone to represent
you.
Experience
One of the reasons to hire a real estate

attorney is to make use of their experience.
Hurdles have a tendency to spring up during complicated real estate transactions.
Men and women involving themselves in
development deals or buying rental properties likely won't see potential red flags as
clearly as a veteran real estate attorney will.
When interviewing a real estate attorney,
ask how long he has been working as a real
estate lawyer and how long he has been
practicing in your particular state and city.
Zoning laws and other restrictions vary
from state to state and city to city, so look
for a lawyer who has considerable experience in your state and city or the state and
city where the transaction is taking place.
Plan of action
When interviewing prospective attorneys, don't assume each one knows the
best way to approach your particular case.
Provide the details of your transaction and
then ask each attorney to explain how they
would approach the case. A veteran real estate attorney should be able to provide a detailed account of how he plans to represent
Featured
Homes of
the Week
Realtors Choice
you, including what needs to be done to get

the transaction off the ground, any potential hurdles that might need to be cleared
and how to clear those should they arise.
Avoid attorneys who give general or ambiguous answers, as such answers may be
poor attempts by the lawyer to mask his or
her inexperience with transactions such as
yours. Some attorneys may request time to
develop a plan of action, and you should not
immediately remove them from consideration, especially if they ultimately answer
the question in thoughtful detail.
Billing
Attorneys are expensive, so it's best

to discuss the billing process before hiring
someone to represent you. Attorneys tend
to bill by the hour, but their rates may be
negotiable depending on the service they're
providing. Those who will be overseeing
your real estate transaction and continuously representing you will likely bill by
the hour, but if you're hiring a real estate
attorney to examine a potential agreement
or draft a contract then you can probably
negotiate a flat fee for those services. But
be sure to discuss billing before hiring an
attorney. Real estate transactions are rarely
inexpensive, so you don't want to be blindsided down the road when your legal bills
come due.
Representation
When interviewing an attorney, many

people assume the attorney they initially
interviewed will be the person who represents them throughout the transaction.
However, the day-to-day work on your
case may be assigned to a junior associate
or even someone who isn't licensed to practice law, such as a paralegal or a current law
school student who is interning with the
firm. These people might be perfectly capable of handling your transaction, but you
should meet them before hiring the firm to
represent you. A good rapport with the person who will be working on your case can
ease the stress associated with complex real
estate transactions.
Real estate attorneys can help men
and women navigate the sometimes turbulent waters of real estate transactions, and
it helps to consider a host of factors before
hiring a firm to represent you.

Calvert Hospice
Hosts Butterfly Release
Memorial Service
Calvert Hospice recently held its Second Butterfly

Release Memorial at Annmarie Sculpture Garden and
Arts Center in Solomons. Nearly 130 attendees gathered
to celebrate and honor their loved ones.
We must be willing to acknowledge the loss and the
pain in order to be able to celebrate a life. Then we can
experience the gratitude that comes from having them in
our lives and find that helpful feeling to move forward.
said Calvert Hospice Executive Director Brenda Laughhunn in her welcoming remarks.
The event also offered opportunities for attendees
to participate in several symbolic reflections, engage in a
themed activity in Annmarie Sculpture Gardens artLAB,

enjoy therapeutic music and listen to uplifting messages
provided by Linzy Laughhunn, Bereavement Coordinator for Calvert Hospice. We all want our lives to matter
and mean something, and we all long to be remembered.
Thats what this memorial is about, said Linzy. I believe
its a sign of a very healthy and hopeful community to
gather in such numbers and honor those lives that have
helped shaped ours.
In addition to the more than 100 monarch butterflies
released by families and friends in honor of their loved
ones, Calvert Hospice also released butterflies to express
their gratitude to the individual donors
who have given $500 or more over the past
year, To help us deliver on the promise of
hospice, said Executive Director Brenda
Laughhunn. We added these thank-you
butterflies because this is our 30th year of
providing service care in Calvert County
and we rely on the goodness of our community to help this very special kind of
care we call hospice to continue to be accessible by any person in our county who
needs it.
Calvert Hospice is also grateful for
Corporate Sponsorships provided by Beretta and SMECO as well Event Sponsorships provided by Annmarie Sculpture
Garden and Arts Center and Lee Funeral
Homes.
Proceeds will go to help us continue
our vital Children and Teen Bereavement
Programs, stated Patient and Family Service Director, Amy Szatanek. This includes our annual Camp Phoenix and grief
support group known as Bridges.

Thompson Square Performs

Live On July 18
Thompson Square will perform live on Friday, July 18 at
the Calvert Marine Museums PNC Waterside Pavilion! Tickets
are on sale now and are $48 for premium and $38 for reserved,
and can be purchased by phone at 1-800-787-9454, in person at
Prince Frederick Ford/Dodge (cash or check only), or online at
www.calvertmarinemuseum.com. The gates will open at 6 p.m.
and the show starts at 7:30 p.m.
Powered by a trio of hit singles including the No. 1 doubleplatinum-selling Are You Gonna Kiss Me Or Not as well as I
Got You and Glass, Thompson Square swept the 2012 Vocal
Duo awards (CMA, ACM, CMT, ACA). Kiss was the most-heard
song on country radio in 2011, and secured multiple-week runs
atop the sales and ringtone charts as well as two GRAMMY
nominations. Major media (Leno, Kimmel, Conan and more)
and major tours (Jason Aldean, Lady Antebellum, Luke Bryan)
put them in front of tens of millions of viewers and two million
concert goers. Thompson Square is also the only established
married duo to ever receive CMA Vocal Duo of the Year honors.
Keifer and Shawna Thompsons hot streak continued when they
won the ACM Vocal Duo of the Year honors for the 2nd consecutive year in April 2013.
Southern Marylands own, Sam Grow will open the show
on July 18th! Sam has single-handedly built a core-following,
playing 250 dates a year all over the U.S. His first two independent releases have sold over 30,000 copies and his most recent
record charted in the top 20 on iTunes. In late 2013, Sam made
the move to Nashville and has inked his first publishing deal
with ole. Sam will be recording his next record with Grammynominated producers, Matt McClure and Kyle Jacobs, with a
scheduled release in Summer 2014.
Next warming up the stage is Clark Manson. Clark Manson released his debut album in November 2013, Running With
The Night, which quickly climbed in the iTunes chart, peaking
at number 30. Running With The Night also checked in at number five on the Billboard Heatseekers chart in November 2013,
and has received much recognition all around the world by Mansons 33,000 Twitter followers and fans. Since the album release,
Manson has swamped the ticket-booths, selling out a number of
shows and quickly becoming a notable country vision in states
ranging from Wisconsin all the way to Texas. Clark will take
on Southern Maryland and warm up the stage for Thompson
Square.
In the world of entertainment, music arguably demands the
most personal investment from its artists, and it doesnt get any
more intimate than Thompson Square. While most celebrities go
to tremendous lengths and expense to carve out personal space
in a Twitter-manic, paparazzi-fueled culture, husband and wife
Keifer and Shawna Thompson veil no aspects of their relationship. In fact, they put their 13-year marriage on display in each
song and, night after night, on tour. Hence, their sophomore album Just Feels Good is a compelling view of a relationship that
offers no distinction between the personal and the professional.
Much more than the first record, Just Feels Good explains
exactly who we are, Shawna says. This is a very personal record. Adds her husband, Its a stronger, more accurate rep-
