Arc of Southern Maryland


Purchases New Group Home

By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
For the first time in three years, the
Arc of Southern Maryland recently purchased a new group home to serve Arc
clients.
Group homes serve individuals who
are not able to live completely alone,
but dont require the full time care of a
nursing home. Group homes are an inbetween solution, offering both independent living and the support needed to
ensure everyone remains safe, said Arc
of Southern Maryland Executive Director Terry Z. Long.
The house, located in the Chesapeake
Ranch Estates, is a one-story rambler

that can accommodate five residents,


according to Arc of Southern Maryland
Development and Public Relations Manager Nkeshi Free. The Arc began looking for a new group home when two of
the individuals living in a townhouse

in Prince Frederick were having trouble


getting around. The new group home
gives them more freedom, she said.
The new group home can accommodate five residents, Free said. The townhouse is already filled with younger residents for whom stairs arent a challenge.

Chamber of
Commerce Forms
Non-Profit Alliances

By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer

Non-profit organizations in the county are


banding together in the newly formed Non
Profit Alliance (NPA).
According to a Chamber of Commerce press
release, the [NPA] serves all of the Chamber
of Commerce non-profit organizations making
a more impactful difference together than they
already do individually.
Recently appointed Chamber of Commerce
Executive Director William Chambers has a
long history volunteering for and working with
local non-profits. When he began working with
the chamber, he studies ways other chambers
across the country support non-profits. He
found a number of them with NPAs, which
could be politically active and found innovative ways to promote non-profit organizations.
At the June 16 NPA meeting, the following
non-profit leaders were chosen to serve at the
NPAs Steering Committee: Kelly Chambers
with the United Way of Calvert County; Ruth
Lake with Adult Day Care of Calvert County;
Anne Sundermann of the Calvert Nature Society and Sonia Wagner of Southern Maryland
College Access Network.
One of the primary initiatives on the agenda for the Alliance is to conduct an Economic
Impact study for all Calvert County non-profit
organizations. That study will detail the broad
impact these organizations have on the local
economy, business impacts, economic devel-

opment, employment and vital services delivered to Calvert citizens, according to a


Chamber of Commerce press release.
Non-profit organizations perform community services that otherwise would have
to be paid for using taxpayer money, Chambers said. Most services are aimed at seniors
and children, he said, and after the impact
study is completed the NPA will seek out
ways to better serve the most at need groups
in the community.
For more information, call 410-535-2577.

Planning Underway for


Future Education Funding
By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
The Calvert Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) and Board of Education (BOE) met to talk about the future budget build for Calvert County
Public Schools.
During fiscal year (FY) 2016, which
started on July 1, CCPS was given maintenance of effort funding. This means
the per-pupil spending is the same as
in FY 2015. With the declining enrollment in county schools, this means the
amount of funding received could potentially also be declining. Members of
both boards discussed ways to address
the funding issues. Topics discussed
included consolidating and redistricting schools and beginning the budget
build process earlier.
Superintendent Daniel Curry said
putting schools in mothballs would not
provide much of a savings. Teachers
would move with the students, he said,

Photos by Sarah Miller

meaning the savings would come from


upkeep and utilities. Additionally, official capacity of schools may be higher
than actual capacity because classroom
space is being used for computer labs
and special education facilities, which
accommodate fewer students than traditional classes, said BOE President
Tracy McGuire. Every year, the cost of
doing business for CCPS goes up because of increasing technological and
legislative demands.
The BOE and BOCC plan to hold
similar meetings quarterly, with representatives from each board and Curry
meeting more frequently to check in.

Board of Education and


Association of Supervisors
Reach Agreement

The Board of Education of Calvert County and the Calvert Association of Supervisors and Administrators (CASA) reached
tentative agreement for a multi-year collective bargaining agreement beginning FY16.
Under the tentative agreement reached on
June 25, the parties agreed to a three-year
contract with FY17 and FY18 open articles
to include salary/compensation and up to
one other article selected by each party.
The new agreement includes language regarding the 10 and 11-month employee work
year, leave, evaluation, hiring selection pro-

cess, and placement on salary schedule.


No salary or step increases were included
in the tentative agreement; however, the
parties agreed that further negotiations may
occur if additional unrestricted operating
funds, in excess of that necessary to support
programs and services deemed by the Superintendent as essential to the operation of
the system, become available to the school
system from the state or county funding
sources during FY16.
CASA and the Board must now ratify the
tentative agreement.

Changes in Documentation
Required for Incoming
CCPS Students

By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer

Parents of incoming Calvert County Public


Schools (CCPS) students will want to be aware
of changes to the documentation of immunizations required to begin school on Aug. 25.
There are no changes to the actual immunizations required, said Supervisor of Student
Services Donna Nichols. The big change is to
the documentation required on the first day of
school, she said. By the first day of school, parents must have documentation of their childs
immunizations or an appointment to get the
required immunizations within 20 days.
Evidence of an appointment may include:
an appointment slip or note from the health
care providers office of an appointment no
later than 20 calendar days from the date the
student is temporarily admitted or retained, a
verbal or written statement signed by the parent/guardian that contains the appointment
date, no later than 20 calendar days from the
date the student is temporarily admitted or retained, with a health care provider, or a verbal
or written statement by the parent/guardian indicating the parent/guardians intent to attend
a local health department immunization clinic
within the next 20 calendar days, according
to a CCPS press release.
Last year, students could be admitted to
school for up to 20 days without any documentation of vaccinations, Nichols said.
The Calvert County Health Department
will hold immunization clinics several times
this summer.
There is a fee of $23.28 per vaccine administered. For children who are insured by the
state, the $23.28 fee per vaccine will be billed
to their state health insurance. All other children who are VFC eligible will be responsible

for the payment of $23.28 per vaccine out of


pocket. If there is a true inability to pay, the
fees can be waived on a case-by-case basis.
Call 410-535-5400 ext. 334 to schedule an
appointment.
Children who are not eligible to attend the
VFC Immunization Clinic (children who
have private health insurance) need to be referred to their Primary Medical Provider. The
Health Department may see these children on
a case-by-case basis for Immunizations. The
full cost of each vaccine will be charged (payment plans and fee scales are available). The
Health Department will provide upon request
a receipt with billing codes to submit to an insurance company for possible reimbursement.
To schedule an appointment call 410-535-5400
ext. 347.
For more information about the changes in
documentation requirements, visit www.calvertnet.k12.md.us or call 410-535-7484.
sarahmiller@countytimes.net
Calvert County Health Department
Clinic Dates:
Every Tuesday in August and September: 1 to 3:30 p.m. VFC eligible students
only, by appointment.
Aug. 13: 4 to 7 p.m. for all school-age children who need Back to school Vaccines
(varicella, Tdap, & MCV4). No appointments are needed; walk-ins welcome.

Preliminary reports indicate that
33 tons of fuel will be needed to
burn every hour, 24 hours a day,
seven days a week, in order to
clean, cool, liquefy and pressurize
the fracked gas that will be exported to Japan and India.
Logic dictates that accidents
and human error cannot be fully
avoided and this combination of
volatile and flammable products
has the potential of causing catastrophic events. Additionally, the
emissions generated (an estimated
21.5 tons of toxic and carcinogenic Hazardous Air Pollutants,
annually) are linked to increased
incidence of respiratory and cardiovascular disease. I know of at
least one person with respiratory
ailments that claims to feel the
effect of the dust and dirt being
kicked-up by the trucks and the
busses on Cove Point Road and is
already wearing a protective mask
in the car while driving between
Cove Point and Solomons. Personally, I no longer use Cove Point
Road, and will go out of my way to
avoid it, in order to enter and exit
Chesapeake Ranch Estates (CRE).
In short, a lot of people stand to
be effected by the continued construction of this industrial plant
and not just the people on Cove
Point Road. If any of this raises
concerns for you, your family, or
loved ones in the area, more information is available at Calvert

She declined that invitation to her friends

The kids or grandkids were happy when her
husband stopped by for the youngsters event
but other children were graduating then, and
her husband was needed elsewhere.
She takes pleasure at least seeing her husband as he works; well virtually because
those county commissioner meetings are now

When those weeks became months, then
years, her lifestyle became one of accepting
the backseat to a schedule driven by outside

She knows her schedule and those of many,

him.

thanks and apologies about missed events because of meetings and dinners elsewhere.
Mothers Day passed as thoughts turned
to mothers and wives; then Fathers Day. Its
those times when a few precious hours could
be shared. Some holidays may provide for
family time, but not always. Summer may
bring more family time.but then maybe not.
So when you see one of your Calvert County
Commissioners out and about in the community, solving problems, helping others, attending meetings, remember each of the five asked
to be elected.
Also remember each have solid and quiet
support from a dedicated Commissioners

I feel sorry for people who live


on Cove Point Road is a comment
I recently overheard in a local eating establishment. Local people
were talking about local happenings, including the increased
presence of Dominion in Calvert
County as evidenced by all the
trucks as well as the eyebrow
arching size of the equipment
being hauled on local roads, as in
have you seen how huge those
pieces of equipment are?
Some people are just beginning to notice the disruption being caused by Dominions largescale construction of a heavy
industrial facility in the middle
of our bayside community. This
is not a minor modification of an
existing structure rather Dominion is excavating and building a
power-generating plant with a gas
refinery and liquefaction plant.
This locates an industrial plant
in the middle of Lusby, the most
highly populated town in Calvert
County, with unknown levels of
risk to its citizens. The risks are
unknown because local and state
governmental bodies have not yet
required that appropriate safety
studies be conducted. Without a
comprehensive study (a QRA
Quantitative Risk Assessment)
to assess the actual scope of this
project and all possible risk scenarios, we cannot develop adequate emergency response and
evacuation plans. This type and
size of industrial plant has never
been built near such a populated
area, anywhere in the world. We
must take extra precautions because people are vulnerable.
This industrial facility will store
up to 410,000 gallons of highly explosive propane, up to 14.6 billion
cubic ft. of Liquid Natural Gas

Traffic Plans for Twin Beaches and Solomons Island for Fourth of July Celebrations
Traffic Plan for Twin Beaches on
Friday, July 3

The traffic plan is set up to eliminate


all left hand turns on a portion of Route
261 going through the Twin Beaches,
eliminating the need to stop traffic
randomly and enabling traffic to flow
with minimal stopping. The centerline
of Route 261 will be blocked with delineation devices that will prohibit vehicles from making U-turns.
Traffic north of Route 260 along
Route 261 on the east side of Route
261 must make right turns and exit left
on 5th Street to Boyds Turn Road to
Route 260. Traffic on the west side of
Route 261 must make a right turn and
exit on 27th Street to G Street to Route
260.
Traffic south of Route 260 along
Route 261 on the east side of Route 261
must make a right turn and must turn

left onto Route 260. Traffic on the west


side of Route 261 must turn right and
continue along Route 261 to Summer
City Blvd or continue south to Ponds
Wood Road and proceed to Maryland
Route 4.
In case of rain, the Twin Beaches
will hold the celebration on July 5.
Traffic Plan for Solomons Fireworks
on Saturday, July 4

All southbound traffic will be prohibited from gaining access to Solomons Island for approximately one
hour after the fireworks display ends.
There will be a sign on the north end
of Glascock Field indicating the exit
on that end of the field will be for St.
Marys County traffic only. The road
in front of the Solomons Island Visitor
Center will be shut down completely
from the St. Marys exit from Glascock

Field to Rt. 2.
The exit from Glascock Field to Rt.
2 will allow traffic to flow northbound
in the southbound lane. This traffic
will exit onto Rt. 4 North at the exit
across from Roy Rogers. There will be
lane delineation devices separating the
northbound and southbound lanes of
Rt. 2 from Glascock Field to the exit
onto Rt. 4.
All traffic leaving Solomons Island
beyond Glascock Field will continue
north along Rt. 2 to the access to Rt. 4
just north of Boomerangs Restaurant.
Motorists needing to travel south can
proceed to the light at Patuxent Point
Parkway to make the left onto southbound Rt. 4.
The access for southbound traffic to
exit to go under the Thomas Johnson
Bridge will be blocked with delineating devices.
The exit for northbound traffic to

gain access onto Rt. 2 at the base of the


bridge will be blocked with delineating
devices.
The median crossovers in front of
Patuxent Plaza and the Navy Rec Center will be blocked off with delineating
devices.
All traffic exiting Dowell Road
will be denied access to Rt. 4 at Dowell Road. Dowell Road traffic will
be made to turn right onto Rt. 765 to
Coster Road. Motorists needing to
travel south will continue to the light
at Rt. 760 to gain access to the southbound lanes of Rt. 4.
The Maryland State Highway Administration and the Calvert County
Highway Maintenance Department
will assist with traffic direction.
There will be deputies posted at all
intersections with heavy traffic flow to
ensure compliance with the traffic flow
plan.

Fitting Frames
By Emily Charles

Whats more whimsical than a picture? A picture
in a frame. At Wimsey Cove Framing and Art, located in Edgewater, owner Elizabeth Ramirez has
been hard at work matching artful frames to pictures
of all kinds. The store was initially established in
Annapolis in 2001, moving to Edgewater in 2008,
where it now stands as a successful member of the

Vintage Loop.
Ramirez, a painter, began the business as a means
to pursue her passion for art while helping other local
artists frame their pieces at affordable prices. In the
process, she created not only a helpful business, but
a popular gathering place for fellow artists.
Framing is my art, for 20 years now. My art is
framing...I love framing, Im a picture framer. I really wanted to help artists, Im an artist myself, a
watercolorist. I really wanted to help local artists,

Ramirez said. My mother calls this


shop the clubhouse because at any
time there are artists coming in hanging out.
In addition to frames, the store
sells historical maps and runs a gallery, currently displaying work by
artist K. Delaney. Delaneys art will
be on display for the next couple of
months, according to Ramirez. Customers should also be on the lookout
for a historical map blowout sale following the eight year anniversary of

From my Backyard to our Bay


A St. Marys County Residents Guide to Improving Our Environment and Drinking Water

From My Backyard
to Our Bay was first
developed by the Baltimore
County Soil Conservation
District. From there, the
booklet was given to each
of the Soil Conservation
Districts in the Chesapeake
Bay watershed area for
customization. If the 17.5
million residents who live in
the watershed area of the
Chesapeake Bay read this
booklet, and took to heart
its suggestions and best
practices, the Chesapeake
Bay would see a dramatic
increase in health. Obtain
a FREE copy of the
booklet by going to the St.
Marys River Watershed
Association, smrwa.org and
downloading it. The booklet
is available at Wentworth
Nursery in Charlotte Hall;
Chicken Scratch in Park
Hall; The Greenery in
Hollywood; Good Earth
Natural Food; and the St.
Marys Soil Conservation
District in Leonardtown.
Join your local watershed
association and make a
difference for Our Bay!

Forest Stewardship
Forest land is important to the overall
health of the Chesapeake Bay. Forests
provide several layers, from the canopy
to the forest floor, that act as filters,
improve water quality, reduce sedimentation, remove nutrients, and regulate
stream flow during storms.
Marylands 2.5 million acres of forest,
most of it privately owned, cover approximately 42% of its land area. St.
Marys Countys land area is about 50%
forested, and has more than 400 miles
of shoreline. Wooded buffers along
these shorelines are critical to improving Bay health. Acre for acre, forested
lands produced the least amount of runoff and pollution. The County occupies
a forest transitional zone, where the
dominant tree species vary from oak/
hickory to tulip poplar to sweet gum/red
maple and loblolly pine.
Forests can be harvested on a sustainable basis for materials, including
structural lumber, crates, shelving
and furniture, flooring, mulch, and
pulp for paper. Forests can, in most
cases, provide these products while
