Silver Spring
Man Dies From
Car Crash Injuries
By Lauren Procopio
Staff Writer
A Silver Spring man succumbed to the injuries he sustained during a t-bone style car
crash on June 28.
Officers from the sheriffs office and the
Maryland State Police were dispatched to St.
Leonard Road and Parkers Creek Road at approximately 7 p.m. in response to the severe
car accident involving the late Alex Federman, 23, of Silver Spring; Mark Federman,
23, of Washington D.C.; and Kevin James
George, 52, of Huntingtown, according to officials. Due to the severity of the crash, members from the Calvert County Sheriffs Office
Crash Reconstruction Team responded to the
scene as well.
Preliminary investigation revealed that the
1999 Toyota Camry driven by Mark Federman, with Alex Federman seated in the front
passenger seat was traveling eastbound on
Parkers Creek Road and was approaching the
stop sign at the St. Leonard Road intersection
when the Toyota failed to yield to the right of
way to a 2008 Chevrolet Silverado, operated
by George, which was traveling northbound
on St. Leonard Road.
According to police, the Toyota was traveling eastbound on Parkers Creek Road, across
St. Leonard Road, when it was struck on the
passenger side by the Chevrolet in a t-bone
style crash. The impact caused the Toyota to
rotate 180 degrees, in a counter clockwise motion. According to officials, the Toyota came to
a rest partially off the road on the southbound
shoulder of St. Leonard Road; the Chevrolet
came to a stop just north of the area of impact
on the northbound shoulder of St. Leonard
Road.
According to police, Mark Federman and
Alex Federman were transported to Calvert
Memorial Hospital, where Alex Federman
succumbed to his injuries. George received on
scene medical care and was released, according to police.
Police investigation revealed failure to yield
to the right of way and driver error as contributing factors in the crash.
Anyone with information pertaining to this
collision is encouraged to contact Deputy First
Class Bradley, of the Crash Reconstruction
Team, at 410-535-2800, or through email, bradleea@co.cal.md.us.

Sets Garage Ablaze
By Lauren Procopio
Staff Writer
Authorities responded to Solomons Island
Road in Huntingtown after lightning struck a
garage and ignited a fire.
According to the officials from the State
Fire Marshals Office, on June 24, at approximately 4:56 a.m., roughly 30 volunteer
firefighters from the Huntingtown, Dunkirk,
Prince Frederick and St. Leonard Volunteer
Fire Departments responded to the Huntingtown property after a neighbor discovered the
garage engulfed in flames.

The fire caused an estimated $50,000 in
damages to the freestanding wood-framed
garage and Deputy Fire Marshal Don
Brenneman said the garage was destroyed as a
result of the lightning strike from an electrical
storm that had passed through the area early
that morning.
According to officials, firefighters were able
to control the blaze within 30 minutes and no
injuries were reported as a result of this fire.

Woman Airlifted
to Hospital
Following Car Crash
By Lauren Procopio
Staff Writer
A Prince Frederick woman was
airlifted to Prince Georges Shock
Trauma Center, via Maryland State
Police (MSP) Trooper Two, due to
her injuries sustained in a car accident on Friday morning.
According to a press release provided by Captain Todd Ireland, of the
sheriffs office, police were unable
to speak with Laura Jeffery Johnson
due to the severity of her injuries and
therefore were unable to clarify why
she left the roadway.
According to the statement, officers from the sheriffs office and the
MSP were dispatched to Sixes Road,
just west of Route 4, at approximately 9:09 a.m. on July 3. Police arrived
at the scene to find Johnsons 2015
Subaru Station Wagon overturned
and lying on its drivers side, partially supported by the guardrail.
Johnson was the sole occupant in the
vehicle and no other vehicles were
involved in the crash, according to

police.
According to police, the vehicle
had struck the guardrail while traveling eastbound on Sixes Road. The
vehicle dislodged numerous guardrail support posts, which according
to police caused the vehicle to flip
onto its drivers side.
According to the statement, Johnson was trapped inside her vehicle
and members from the Prince Frederick Fire Department and Prince
Frederick Rescue Squad had to remove the roof of her vehicle in order
to extract her out of it.
Johnson received on scene medical care and was transported to the
landing site, via ambulance, before
she was airlifted to Prince Georges
Shock Trauma Center, according to
police.
Witnesses to this car crash are encouraged to contact Deputy Buck, of
the sheriffs office, at 410-535-2800.

Center Coming
to Dares
Beach Road
By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
Pending a presentation to the
Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) on July 21, Calvert
Countys newest community
center may soon be located in
the former SMECO building
on Dares Beach Road.
The building is currently
owned by SMECO, said Director of General Services Wilson
Freeland. The BOCC would
purchase the property if they
decide to move ahead with efforts to convert it into a community center.
The building lends itself
well to the conversion, Freeland said. There are a number
of large conference rooms that
could be used for classes, meetings, and other activities. It is
also well located near Calvert

High School, Calvert Elementary School, and within walking distance from Silverwood
Farm and additional housing
developments.
The SMECO building would
be an interim community center, Freeland said. Efforts to
fund a suitable location for a
permanent community center in Prince Frederick would
continue.
If the BOCC decides to convert the SMECO building, the
work would be done toward the
end of the year, with the grand
opening in December, Freeland said.

Update on
Route 231 Crash
By Lauren Procopio
Staff Writer
Officials have released additional information regarding the crash on Route 231 that completely halted traffic in both travel lanes.
According to a press release provided by Captain Todd Ireland, of the Calvert County Sheriffs Office, the June 23 accident sent six individuals to various hospitals in the area.
Members of the Sheriffs Office, the Maryland State Police and the Sheriffs Office Crash
Reconstruction Team responded to the intersection of Route 231 at Skipjack Road for the
collision.
According to officials, the collision involved
a 2007 Ford Focus, a 2013 Freightliner Sprinter
Van, a 2011 Honda Civic, a 2013 Ford Escape
and a 2014 Kawasaki Ninja 1000.
Due to the collision, the driver of the street
bike was ejected from the motorcycle and was
transported to Prince Georges Shock Trauma,
via Trooper 7, along with the driver of the Ford
Focus. The operators of the Focus and the Kawasaki Ninja 1000 were listed in stable condition, according to officials. One of the passengers in the Focus, along with the drivers of the
Ford Escape; the Honda Civic; and the Sprinter
Van, were all transported to Calvert Memorial
Hospital, where they were treated for their injuries; a fellow passenger in the Ford Focus was
not injured in the crash.
Preliminary investigation revealed that the
Focus stopped on Hallowing Point Road (Route
231) westbound waiting to make a left turn into

Calvert Mobile Home Park, just west of Skip
Jack Road. A full-sized SUV utilized the shoulder and passed the Focus to continue west down
the road, when the Sprinter Van, which was
directly behind the SVU traveling westbound,
struck the Focus in the back, which pushed the
Focus into oncoming traffic, officials confirmed.
According to officials, the Honda Civic, which
was traveling eastbound on the road, struck the
Focus and as a result the Focus rotated and came
to a rest in the middle of the roadway. Officials
also stated that the Honda also rotated following
the collision with the Focus and entered into the
westbound travel lane of Route 231. According
to the press release, the Ford Escape that was
traveling behind the Freightliner Van swerved
toward the shoulder in an attempt to the miss
the Honda, however the Honda struck the Escape in the left front corner and pushed it up
against the guardrail on the westbound side of
Route 231. The Freightliner Van continued west
after the first collision with the Focus into eastbound traffic and struck the Kawasaki Ninja,
which ejected the driver before the motorcycle
came to a halt on the eastbound shoulder the
Freightliner then entered the grass shoulder and
struck a fence before coming to a rest.
Anyone with information regarding this collision is encouraged to contact Corporal Wahlgren or Deputy First Class Hardesty, of the Calvert County Sheriffs Office, at 410-535-2800.

An Attack on Abuse
By Emily Charles
Contributing Writer
Abuse is a serious issue that isnt always immediately recognized when its
happening. In an effort to raise awareness of domestic violence and to reach
out to fellow victims of abuse, local author and playwright Adriene Gross recently published a short book reflecting
on her own experiences in an abusive
relationship, her journey through recovery, and ultimately, an exit from abuse.
The book is titled Exit, and is based
on Gross play of the same purpose and
name.
I was inspired to write the book by
someone that attended my play. They
said You took the time to do the play,
you should write a book about it, Gross
said. She wrote the book with the intention to help others, whether they need
help to recognize the signs of abuse or
simply need a story to relate to. So far,
Gross has been able to send copies to
domestic violence programs in Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C.
Eventually, she hopes to spread her story
throughout all 50 states.
In the coming month, Gross will be

filming a television interview to talk

about the release of her book and her
hopes for its readers. For those who
dont already have a copy of the book,
Gross is happy to email PDF copies
upon request, always willing to share
her healing experience.
The average writer normally does a
book and then a play may follow. Mine
was exactly the opposite. Reenacting
some of the domestic violence scenes
had a big impact on my emotions, but after the play, writing it all down on paper
was a great way to deal with that pain,
Gross said.
Gross hopes her book will inspire
victims of domestic abuse to escape
the heavy weight of their pasts and to
move forward into a better tomorrow,
while also helping others to avoid similar situations. Love is important, Gross
stressed, but we have to look in the right
places.

BLEACHERS
A View From The
Max: The
Intoxicating
Workhorse
By Ronald N. Guy Jr.
Contributing Writer
In January, the Washington Nationals, already stocked with superb

starting pitching, signed former Detroit Tigers pitcher Max Scherzer,
the crown jewel of free agents, to
a seven-year $210M contract that
is paid out over a mortgage-like 14
years.
My initial reaction: I hope the
Nats locked in a low interest rate
and avoided private mortgage insuranceand what a ludicrous waste of
financial resources. With a starting
rotation of Stephen Strasburg, Jordan Zimmermann, Doug Fister, Gio
Gonzalez and Tanner Roark, was
the addition of Scherzer necessary,
especially considering teams typically use only four starting pitchers
during the playoffs? Dollars aside,
was the impact on team chemistry
considered? With several key players shortstop Ian Desmond, center
fielder Denard Span and the aforementioned Zimmermann and Fister
facing free agency in 2016, signing
Scherzer signaled many Nats would
be playing elsewhere next year. And
wouldnt Scherzers presence at the
top of the rotation cause the wouldbe/wanna-be/just-hasnt-been pitching alpha dog Strasburg to pout?
Thats what I thinking in January.
Today, Im an idiot.
What does a $210M pitcher look
like? I dont know, but it must resemble Max Scherzer hes crushing it. The ace hurler became one
of the guys immediately (scratch
that chemistry concern off the list)
and has been everything fun, fiery, reliable and consistent that
the mentally and physically fragile
Strasburg isnt (hes back on the disabled listshocker).
Through last weekend, Scherzer
has posted a 1.82 ERA (second to
Zack Greinke), recorded 139 strikeouts (fifth in MLB), walked 14 (second to Phil Hughes among pitchers
with at least 100 innings pitched)
and has thrown three complete
games, two shutouts and a no-hitter.
Going geek, Scherzers advanced
statistics layer on the superlatives:
a WHIP (walks and hits per innings
pitched) of 0.78, a strikeout/walk
rate of 9.93 and batting average
against of .181all tops in MLB.
And then theres Scherzers sick 1.25
Component ERA, a Sabremetrics
formula that predicts a players ERA
by analyzing surrendered walks and
hits (thereby removing luck as a fac-
tor). Houstons Dallas Keuchel is a

distant second at 1.82.
But and theres always a but
with D.C. sports Scherzers usage
is concerning. In his 16 Washington
starts, hes pitched at least six innings and has gone seven or more
13 times. He has 118 innings on his
golden right arm so far and is pacing
to approach 240, 20 more than his
career high.
Remember, Scherzer is 30 and
signed to a seven-year contract with
a 14-year payment plan. If you were
going to make peace with burning
him up, wouldnt you do that in October? Why mid-season? And we all
know pitchers are like sports cars:
fabulous when running but often under repair.
Scherzers workload is odd too
considering the kid gloves with
which Washington has handled
Strasburg. Who can forget the Nats
putting Strasburg on ice just before
the 2012 playoffs because he had
reached a team-imposed innings
limit in his first year back from
Tommy John surgery?
But current manager Matt Williams wasnt around in 2012 and hes
infatuated with Scherzer. Can you
blame him? The man gets paid to win
games and Scherzers as dependable
as humidity during a Maryland summer. What do you do as a manager
tasked with producing results wins,
earnings, etc? You rely on your best,
those you can trust. They get new
opportunities, code-speak for more
work and responsibility. Burnout?
Ahhnonsense. I had a Scherzer in
high school: a buddy who happened
to be a straight-A student. I called
the poor dude nearly every night
for homework guidance. He never
seemed to mind like Scherzer - but
it probably drove his parents nuts.
While Williams has managed other players carefully, he has identified
his go-to man, his horseand hes
riding him. Thus far, the Nats have
reaped the rewards of Scherzers
workload, but in late September, after 240-ish innings and roughly 33
regular season starts, will he have
anything left for an October stretch
run? And isnt $210M justified only
by October dominance and a World
Series championship? Has Scherzers brilliance compromised his
managers prudence? Is it possible
Scherzer, like my homework lifeline, is too good?

How many are heading out this summer for

vacation? I suspect a large number will take
advantage of the kids being out of school to
travel. Many destinations near and far will
see new or returning visitors. While citizens
from our county will travel elsewhere, others
will come here and experience the uniqueness of Calvert County.
Your County Commissioners are no different in occasionally needing a vacation, but I
believe some of us will vacation with a twist.
Each have a county issued iPad which affords continued communication to staff and
citizens alike. For me, a long time in coming vacation is planned for early November
instead of the summer. When that happens,
my responsiveness may be delayed some due
to the time difference between the east coast
and Hawaii.
In the meantime, if your county commissioners are currently looking a little tired,
it could be that weve reached the half-way
mark in this calendar year and have accomplished much. While our formal Tuesday
meetings are typically 3 4 days/month and
may include an evening meeting, this recent
June was quite different. Commissioners
formally met 5 straight Tuesdays in June
and most of these meetings included evening
sessions. This is not a complaint, but it does
mean our staff also worked this increased
schedule and they also deserve some time
relief. We will not have a formal meeting for
the first two weeks of July.
Our meetings over the past 6 months,
however, were not just meeting for the sake
of meeting. Your commissioners have truly
caused or set into motion many improvements in the shift towards greater economic
development within our town centers. Consistent with the new administration in Annapolis, our county is becoming more business friendly. Yet, we have not forsaken the
desires to maintain our county being as rural

as possible though Calvert

County does appear to be
more residential than rural;
but that is a debate for another time.
Many of the initiatives underway stem from the Commissioners Guidance that we
identified early in our term
and for which was previously
described here in the Commissioners Corner. While three of the commissioners have
been through the rigors of office for several
years, it sure does appear that the two new
commissioners have done remarkably well
in getting up to speed and making their
unique contributions.
To be expected, the work done over the
past 6 months may not be immediately evident, but will, as time permits implementation of this new direction. Among the most
evident items our citizens will see include
the emergence of a community recreation
center in the Prince Frederick area, plans
unfolding for Armory Square, continued
progress towards construction of exporting
of liquefied natural gas, and greater transparency in the building of next years budget.
It may be vacation time. Many are taking
a needed rest, but the work of the county remains continuous. Your county government
does not totally stop even on those days when
it is technically closed. Enjoy your vacation.
Stay in touch.

Housing Market Looking Up

By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
Nobody thought their house would be 20
percent less in 10 years, said Economic Development Commission Chairman and RE/
MAX One Representative Chris Moore.
In the mid-2000s, during the economic
boom, people were buying houses beyond
their buying power and then taking out
two mortgages. When the bubble burst
in 2008, homeowners found themselves
trapped by debt.
Things are staring to look up again.
Moore and other realtors are starting to
see more first time homebuyers coming
in. People are starting buy up, looking
for larger homes to accommodate growing
families. Homes in neighborhoods are the
most sought after, Moore said. In Calvert,
most prospective homebuyers are looking
for homes in Prince Frederick. The largest
number of homes is in Lusby, Chesapeake
Beach, and North Beach.
The current market is neither a buyers nor
a sellers market. Instead, the market is starting to level out and become healthier. People
are buying with more common sense, Moore
said. Instead of falling in love with a house
and buying it whether they can afford it or
not, Moore is seeing buyers negotiate for a
better price or walk away from a house out
of their price range.
On average, sellers are seeing their property move within 100 days of being put on
the market, said Past Southern Maryland
Association of Realtors (SMAR) President
and Hometown Real Estate Broker Owner
Kevin Turner.
If your house is priced appropriately and
in good condition, youre not going to be
waiting long, he said.
According SMAR, Southern Maryland
is currently the fastest-growing geographic
region in the state of Maryland. The areas
strong population and economic growth is
due, in part, to area dynamics and the close
proximity to the Nations Capitol. Calvert
and St. Marys counties are among the leaders in the regional growth with a combined
projected population increase of 81 percent
over the next two decades due to the Department of Defenses efforts to consolidate
military activities at Patuxent River Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division
(NAWCAD).
Statistics from getsmartcharts.com show
houses are gaining value. In a year-to-year
comparison, homes in Sunderland, Owings, Huntingtown, Prince Frederick, North
Beach, Chesapeake Beach, and Broomes Island are being sold for higher average prices.
The market has been growing steadily,
which is healthy, Turner said. If there is a
strong base established for the real estate
market, the likelihood of drastic upswings
followed by catastrophic drops decreases.
The outlook nation wide is similarly
positive.
According to realtor.org, existing home
sales nation wide are up by 5.9 percent.
Fueled partly by an increase in sales to
first-time buyers, existing-home sales increased in May to their highest pace in nearly six years, the website reads.
Calvert tends to be a popular county because of its proximity to large employers
and government hubs, and because of its
geographic location, Turner said.
Calvert has a lot going for it, but the coun-
ty has to work hard to remain competitive,

Moore said. Recently, Calvert has had some
trouble attracting new homebuyers. For a
long time, Calvert County had the distinction of having the best schools in the tricounty area, which was a big selling point.
Now, St. Marys and Charles counties have
schools to rival Calvert Countys. In addition, St. Marys and Charles counties have
had significant economic growth, and are
similarly located to Washington, D.C., and
other major areas.
Calvert County needs to do a better job
to attract people who want to live here,
Moore said.
In a positive step forward, there is a new
hosing development under construction in
Prince Frederick just north of the Whispering Woods housing development. The development will help the county tax base by add-

ing new roofs and encouraging individuals
to move to the county.
Another challenge in Calverts housing
market is the process individuals must go
through to build their home rather than buy
one.
The regulations in place to start a house
are onerous, Moore said, adding that just
to get a shovel in the dirt can cost between
$35,000 and $45,000.
Locally, anyone hoping to build a home
must get approval from the Department of
Inspections and Permits, the Department of
Water and Sewer, and the Calvert County

Health Department, among other state and
local agencies.
Buying a home has become a long, complicated process, Moore said. Before getting
the keys, homebuyers have to sign 30 to 40
pages of documents. There are a lot of pitfalls, which affect buyers and sellers alike.
Because there are so many details, Moore
recommends homebuyers work with licensed realtors.

Hogan Administration Kicks

Off YouthWorks Summer
Internship Program
Lt. Governor Boyd Rutherford was
joined today by Maryland State Department of Education Superintendent Dr.
Lillian Lowery, Department of General
Services Secretary Gil Bassette, and Department of Human Resources Secretary
(DHR) Sam Malhotra to officially kick off
the YouthWorks Summer Internship Program with a welcoming ceremony. Student
participants, who started their internships
on June 29, will participate in a five-week
summer jobs program.
In June, Governor Larry Hogan announced $3.13 million in state funding to
provide approximately 8,100 Baltimore City
youth residents with summer job opportunities and work experience. Allocated to the
Youth Works and Hire One Youth programs
through the Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation (DLLR), funds were
provided through a combination of a DHR
and DLLR grant administered to Baltimore
City for youth job opportunity programs.
Funding was already provided in the state
budget, and private funding was secured by
state and city officials.
This is a great opportunity to provide
our young people with summer jobs and set
the foundation for them to become productive members of Marylands workforce,
said Lt. Governor Rutherford. I commend
the YouthWorks program, as well as the
participating state agencies, for providing
our youth with real work environments that
will impact their lives for years to come.
The program, whose slogan is Summer Jobs Launch Careers, runs until July
31 and gives Baltimore City young people

between the ages 14 and 21 opportunities
to work with mentors who will help them
develop positive work habits and attitudes,
as well as learn skills related to and job
requirements, career development, and
financial literacy. Currently, DGS has 23
YouthWorks interns who have been placed
in various divisions within the agency;
MSDE has 24 at its Baltimore City headquarters, and DHR has 17.
We are so excited about having these
students at DGS for five weeks, Secretary
Bassette said. Were going to make it a
worthwhile experience that they can look
back on and say it made a positive difference. Maybe five or ten years from now,
one of these students will return as a DGS
employee.
This is a wonderful opportunity not
only to expose these teens and young
adults to potential career pathways, but
also to help them develop the important
soft skills theyll need to succeed in the
future, such as working in teams, completing assigned projects, and developing a
strong work ethic, said Dr. Lowery.
Secretary Malhotra said of the program,
Summer jobs can launch careers, and
thats what we hope happens here. But
more than that, this real-world experience
will give each DHR intern an advantage,
not only when they interview for jobs or
work in a professional environment, but in
everyday life as an adult.

New Chesapeake Childrens

Chorus Launches with Free
Summer Sing Event for Kids
Fine arts are an integral part of our closeknit community. During a time when arts
education is threatened by budget cuts, having programs outside of school to fuel students creativity is of the utmost importance.
One such program, the Chesapeake Childrens Chorus, is being launched mid-August
for that very purpose.
Founded by Krystal McCoy and directed
by Lori Beth Sink and Laurel Dietz, the
Chesapeake Childrens Chorus (CCC) is a
choir for students the Tri-County area from
grades 2 to 8. According to the CCC press
release, the ensemble operates as the childrens branch of the local adult choir St.
Maries Musica, and is an auditioned vocal ensemble that meets weekly to provide
musically-interested students with a unique
choral education.
In order to kick-off the CCC, its directors
have planned a free Summer Sing workshop
for kids interested in auditioning for chorus.
It gives students a chance to meet the
directors, myself and Miss Dietz, said Lori
Beth Sink. Well play all sorts of ice-breaker games, do some warm ups, and well start
some singing and maybe run through some
music. At the end of the process, we want to
teach [the kids] how to audition so theyre not
scared, and theyll already have the experience and know who we are.
The CCC runs for two semestersAugust
through December, then January through

May. Students involved will have the opportunity to perform holiday and spring concerts, as well as take their music to Southern
Maryland community stages and festivals,
according to the press release.
Whats unique about the CCC is that
they have the opportunity to sing and make
friends with students from schools outside of
their own county. The more, the merrier!
Sink laughed when asked how many kids
shes looking to join the ensemble.
As far as music goes, students should expect to sing a little bit of everything. Theres
the classical choral music that everybody
expects to learn, but we also want to offer
things that are newer and fun for the kids,
Sink explained. We want to give them the
opportunity to see what music is like around
the world.
Although the idea of an audition can be
intimidating to kids, Summer Sing will
help prepare students for the audition process. [For auditions], we just want to hear
their voice and check their range, Sink
said. Theyll sing a familiar tune that they
already know. It could be anything from
Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star to Mary had a
Little Lamb.
Summer Sing will take place at Hollywood United Methodist Church from 6:30 to
8 p.m. on Thursday, July 16, and Thursday,
Aug. 16. Students interested in joining CCC
for its opening season should plan to audition Thursday, Aug. 13, at Hollywood United
Methodist Church.

Twisty Tots
By Crista Dockray
Contributing Writer
Things got a little twisty for some tots as
they stretched body and spirit in some fun
yoga poses. The Yoga and Active Art minicamp at Annmarie Sculpture Garden and
Arts Center offered 3 to 5 year olds time for
yoga, active games and crafts. Some movement activities included freeze dance, hula
hooping, hot potato and bowling. Crafts were
chalk drawings, bubble wrap art pictures, and
binocular decorating with a walk through
the woods to find fairy houses. The camp
ran from July 7 to July 9 offering two-hour
morning or afternoon sessions with slight
variations of both inside and outside activities
for each day. For more information on summer camps or on Annmarie Gardens, call

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;

Marys Soil Conservation
District in Leonardtown.

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

woodland stewardship and management, as well as timber harvesting,

Buy Local Week can do just that!
Each year, Marylanders are encouraged to pledge to eat (and drink) at least
one product from a local farm every
day during Buy Local Week, always the
last full week of July, when Marylands
farms are at their peak offering a wide
variety of produce, meats, dairy products and even wine.
Created by the Southern Maryland
Agricultural Development Commission
(SMADC) and co-promoted with Maryland Department of Agriculture, the
Buy Local Week highlights the health
and economic benefits farms provide.
In addition to providing food thats
fresh and delicious, buying from local
farms is good for the planet and good for
our communities, said Christine Bergmark, Executive Director, SMADC.
Anyone, individuals and families and
even businesses and organizations that
serve food (such as

hospitals) can take
the pledge during Buy Local
Week.
Simply
shop at local
farms, farmers
markets,
grocery stores and
wineries that offer genuine Maryland-grown
farm
products.
Too busy to cook?
Consider dining at a restaurant that serves local farm foods. In
honor of Buy Local Week SMADC will
be launching a new feature on its So.
Maryland, So Good website, a farm
to table listing of regional restaurants,
stores and other businesses committed
to buying and promoting locally produced farm foods. To find out more,

Zoomobile Brings Animals to Calvert County

Children and parents alike met at the
Northeast Community Center at 10 a.m. on
Tuesday, July 7, to marvel at some of the
animals that live at the Baltimore Zoo.
In attendance were two Panamanian
Golden Frogs, which are very poisonous
and scientists believe they are going extinct, according to Tim Grunert, an Educator from the Baltimore Zoo. Eden, a brown
corn snake, showed off her long tongue
and oddly shaped tail following the two
frogs. At about three and a half feet long,
Eden awed the children and parents in attendance. Following Eden was Rascal, a
Laughing Kookaburra who loved the sound
of his own voice. The last animal in attendance was young Hope, an African Black
Footed Penguin who is a little over six
months old, according to Grunert.
Not only did those in attendance get to
see and learn about the animals provided
by the Baltimore Zoo, but they also learned
about adaptation. All the animals brought
exhibited some form of adaption, but other

animals, such as cheetahs, ants and flamingos were also discussed. Children were able
to participate in three activities that corresponded with each of the three animals. For
cheetahs, four volunteers walked from one
paw print to the next, counting how many
steps it took them. The next activity involved an individual and then a small team
of individuals who raced to see who could
get the most blocks in their bucket. Lastly,
everyone tested their balance as they stood
on one leg like flamingos.
I liked how it got kids involved, said
Sandy Hunting, Childrens Librarian
for Calvert Library Twin Beach Branch.
Thats a big part of this program.
The Zoomobile also made an appearance
the same day at the Dunkirk Firehouse at 2
p.m. On Wednesday, July 8, the Zoomobile
began at Patuxent Elementary at 10 a.m. and
ended at the Calvert Library Prince Frederick location at 2 p.m. as well as 7 p.m.
During the seven-week summer programs,
outside performers come to the area and perform five shows over the course of two days,
according to Hunting. Performances start in

Chesapeake Beach and end their first day in
Dunkirk. Second day performances include
an early performance in Solomons and end
with two shows at the Calvert Library in
Prince Fredrick. Past performers have included Acoustic Eidolon, a musical duo, and Tom
Crowl, a comedy ventriloquist.
Next week, on Tuesday, July 14, and
Wednesday, July 15, Barry Louis Polisar
will be in the spotlight. Polisar is a five-
time Parents Choice Award winner who

performs funny childrens songs, according
to the Calvert Librarys website.

A Tropical Evening To
Benefit Art And Education
Celebrate a love for the
water, art and life while
helping local students and
artists pursue their talents in
the arts at a tropical Friday
evening affair at CalvARTGallery in Prince Frederick.
The
CalvARTGallery
and Arts Council of Calvert County invite everyone
to Palm Trees, Martinis
and Blue Water, a fundraising event to be held on
Friday, July 10, from 6 to
9 p.m. at CalvARTGallery.
The events tropical festive
theme reflects the spirit of
local artist Mary Beth Harry,
a founding artist of the gallery who died of pancreatic
cancer in 2010. A classically
trained artist and graduate
from the Maryland Institute
College of Art, Mary Beth
enjoyed the beach and combing the waters edge for treasures, which washed up with
the Chesapeake Bays tide.
She lived her artist life at
Cove Point painting numerous natural beach and water
scenes as well as whimsical pieces created from her
playful imagination. Guests
will be able to bid on some of
her original paintings in a silent auction and prints of her
work will also be available
for purchase with proceeds
going toward supporting arts education and a
scholarship in her name.
Each year since 2012, the Mary Beth Harry Memorial Scholarship has recognized a high school
student who demonstrated a love and talent for
art in any media and awarded the students funds
for further arts education. This years scholarship
recipient is Claire Caine, a recent Northern High
School graduate.
Mary Beth enjoyed sharing herself through
In Our Community
art with children. Although

her grandchildren and her
sisters grandchildren were
young when she passed, she
influenced them and gave
them a love for painting
and drawing, said her sister Kathy Strine. Mary Beth
also volunteered with young
artists and painted a mural
at Mount Harmony Elementary School depicting the
students and their activities.
A student gallery displaying
local student art was named
for Mary Beth at CalvART
Gallery and dedicated in
June 2012. At that time,
arts council Vice President
Eleanor Nelson said in The
Calvert Recorder, I think
all of us who knew Mary
Beth will agree with me that
she was the easiest person to
love.
The evening aspires to reflect the festive spirit of Mary
Beth, with light refreshments, martinis, wine and
beer, music, creative people,
art and lots of fun. There will
be a $20 event cost, which includes an entry into a drawing for a door prize valued
at $100. Other silent auction
items include restaurant gift
certificates, wine baskets,
small original paintings and
more.
Palm Trees, Martinis and Blue Water will
be held on Friday, July 10, from 6 to 9 p.m. The
CalvART Gallery is located in the Prince Frederick Shopping Center at the intersection of routes
4 and 231 nestled between the Sakura Restaurant and Dreamweaver Cafe. Open Wednesday

When you hear the word superhero, what

comes to mind? Perhaps comic books and
Superman, but there are more types of heroes than you think! To explore this idea,
Annmarie Garden recently opened its newest gallery show, Heroes & Villains: Exploring Archetypes through Art. With 28
participating artists, the show is a mixture
of heroes and villains from Wonder Woman
to the Devil. According to Director of Marketing and Development Bill Stevenson, the
gallery received a good national interest,
receiving submissions from all over the
country due to the unique theme and location of the exhibit.
The show has been in the works for about

Initially, Walters and Curator of Exhibits
Melissa Winslow Langley expected submissions made to the show to be based largely
on comic books, and were pleasantly surprised by the mixture of political and religious figures mixed into the group. These
submissions include paintings, electronics
and sculptures. Walters hopes that visitors
will view the exhibit and come to learn that
heroes and villains arent specifically comic
book characters.

13480 Dowell Road, Solomons- 10 a.m. to 5
p.m.

artists render the work of scientists, authors,
explorers, astronomers, cartoonists, Trekkies,
LARPers, astrologers, and philosophers? This
exhibit embraces not only what science has
revealed about space, but what humans have
imagined about the cosmos. From the results
of scientific inquiry to the creative minds of
science fiction authors and fans, this exhibit
celebrates how space has stimulated human
understanding and creativity. From the big
bang theory to worm holes and warp speed,
artists have created works that bring to life
what we know of space and what we imagine.
Assembled here is a vibrant and diverse selection of works that speak to our fascination
with the cosmos. It runs from February13,10
a.m. to July26,5 p.m. For more information,
