By Muirgheal Wheeler
Contributing Writer
Calvert Eats Local is on its third year

book club and grew into an organization
that has been meeting for around six years.
Their organization has local organic enthusiasts speak and give advice and information in their specified areas of expertise.
Calvert Eats Local at the Dream Weaver
Caf happens during the fall. Participants
can their purchase tickets from their local

libraries in order to come and enjoy the locally bought and prepared foods. The menu
fluctuates with the availability of ingredients. Tickets were $26 and the event was
held at the Calvert Library in Prince Frederick from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Come and seek
out the organization for any information on
this particular event or questions on where

League of Women
Voters Annual
Legislative Evening
By Crista Dockray
Staff Writer
The League of Women Voters held
their Annual Legislative Evening at
the Calvert Pines Senior Center on
Thursday, Nov. 12. The purpose of
the evening was for citizens and organizations to meet and voice their
concerns to the Maryland State Delegation. Senator Thomas V. Mike
Miller, Jr. (D-27), Senator Steve
Waugh (R-29), and Delegate Michael
Jackson (D-27B) were in attendance.
From 6:30 to 7 p.m. attendees networked and enjoyed light refreshments before the welcome and introductions at 7 p.m. Following the introductions were the opening remarks
from the State Delegation. Miller
commented that he was going to focus
on education in the upcoming legislative session, Waugh promised more
hard work coming this year, and Jackson said he was happy to attend and
learn the concerns of the people.
Afterwards, legislative priorities
of community organizations and
concerns of citizens were presented,
each with an allotted two and a half
minutes.
In attendance were people such as

Joy Hill the CEO from the Boys and
Girls Club of Southern Maryland,
Linda Morris from the Calvert Citizens for A Healthy Community, Cynthia Throne-Carter the President from
the Calvert County Minority Business Alliance, and Joyce Freeland the
President of the NAACP of Calvert
County.
The organizations asked legislators to advocate for them during the
upcoming session and many citizens
and organizations requested a quantitative risk analysis for Dominion
Cove Point.
In the closing comments from the
Maryland State Delegation, Miller addressed the concerns about Dominion
Cove Point, Waugh informed those in
attendance that they have been heard
and he will deliver on his promises,
and Jackson invited everyone to come
to Annapolis during the session and
to remember to voice concerns beforehand so that they can propose
what makes sense for Calvert County.

BOCC Discusses
Legislative Priorities
By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
The Calvert Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) discussed the upcoming legislative session during their
Nov. 17 meeting.
During the discussion, the BOCC talked about enacting term limits, Comissioner Evan Slaughenhoupt, Jr., suggested staggering the terms to prevent a total
changeover of the county commissioners.
Commissioner Mike Hart agreed, citing his own lack of experience when he
joined the BOCC and his worry that five
unexperienced commissioners at once
could be a problem.
You dont want five Mike Harts running the county, Hart said.
The BOCC voted to set a cap at three
consecutive terms, with an option to run
in future elections following a four-year

hiatus.
Also during the BOCC meeting, the
board listened to a presentation from
Calvert Heath Department Health Officer Laurence Polsky.
Polsky advocated all members of the
community get their flu shot. Influenza
is the eighth leading cause of death. Getting a vaccination protects not only the
individual, but the people around them,
Polsky said, adding that every year approximately 15 million work days are
lost to the flu.
Overdose fatalities continue to be a hot
button topic, Polsky said
Were dealing with opiates right now,
but 10 years from now well be dealing
with something else.

Press Release
Christmas in
April*Calvert
County
Needs House Captains for 2016
Christmas in April is the largest home rehabilitation organization in America. Its mission
is to build partnerships to rehabilitate homes
and community facilities of low-income,
elderly, disabled and military veteran homeowners so they can live in warmth, safety, and
independence.
Christmas in April*Calvert County brings
together volunteers from throughout the
county to rehabilitate homes. This neighborhelping-neighbor effort culminates in our annual Work Day, held on the last Saturday in
April.
Each year, we facilitate the renovation of
homes at no financial cost to the homeowner. We are looking for new volunteer House
Captains to lead the restoration effort for several Calvert County homes in April 2016. We
need individuals with leadership skills and
experience in home repair. Training will be
provided.
House Captains are key players in the
Christmas in April operation. You function
as project managers and are responsible for

creating a list of materials for the work that
needs to be done, determining how many
volunteers will be required, purchasing and
soliciting materials, and overseeing the work
on work day.
Being a House Captain requires a commitment of time and energy. You are the one
person in charge on Christmas in April Work
Day, responsible for planning and managing
a safe, successful project that will be a meaningful and enjoyable experience for volunteers and homeowners alike.
As a house captain, you will see the joy and
appreciation of a homeowner whose house has
just been restored by your team. Its an amazing feeling that few people ever experience.
To volunteer or to learn more about being a
House Captain, please contact Steve Sanders,
(443) 532-6334, or steve.sanders@exeloncorp.

SMECO Donates
to the Community
Southern Maryland Electric Cooperative (SMECO) employees held two
fund raising events and recently donated
$41,322 to three local shelters. Funds
will be donated to Safe Harbor in Calvert County; Lifestyles of Maryland,
Marthas Place Transitional Home, in
Charles County; and Wrapping Arms
Round Many (WARM) in St. Marys
County. Each organization received
$13,774. SMECO employees raised the
money through the SMECO 75 Bike
Ride held in June and the SMECO Annual Charity Golf Outing in October.
The events are supported by a group of
volunteers, vendors, and the SMECO
executive team. The Co-op selects a different organization each year to benefit
from the fundraising events.
Richard Jarboe, SMECO supply chain
director, described SMECOs involvement with the golf fundraising event:
Many co-op employees volunteer for
local organizations, but this is an event
that we can work together on. We join
our colleagues, contribute time and
funds, enjoy the event, and support the
local community. We are grateful for the
support we receive from SMECOs supply chain partners who make the charity
golf tournament a success. We have held
the charity golf event for 12 years and
have given more than $120,000 to local
groups.
SMECO and its employees continue
to be active contributors to those in need
in our community. This contribution
will provide much needed shelter for
women and children in the county who
would not have had anywhere else to lay
their heads. This donation will essentially provide over 800 bed nights as well as
case management services to help these
families get on their feet, said Sandy
Washington, Executive Director of Lifestyles of Maryland in Charles County.
She added, We are honored that the
co-op selected us as one of the recipients
for this year, allowing us to serve these
individuals who are trying to overcome
so many barriers. Many of our clients
are working, but they cant afford housing. We allow them to stay up to a year.
While they are here, we help them establish bank accounts, develop their skills,
and find more permanent housing. These
are women who are trying to help themselves, keep their children in school,
and implement life-changing practices
to improve the quality of life for themselves and their children.
Safe Harbor in Calvert County provides shelter for abused women and children. Together with the Calvert County
Health Department, they provide food,
safety, counseling, medical services,
and compassion to those seeking refuge.
We rely on the hard work and generosity of the community to keep our shelter
running and our women safe from eminent danger at the hands of their abusers.
This tremendous donation will allow us
to continue to keep our residents secure
and provide them with the necessary
services to assist them in their healing
process, said Cindy Dunn, shelter manager. We support individuals for up to
nine months, and we provide transporta-
tion along with other resources to help

them get back on their feet.
The St. Marys County WARM program gratefully accepts this generous
donation from SMECO and its employees, said Maria Scott, WARM chairperson. WARM is a sheltering program
provided by the faith community and
partners in St. Marys County. WARM
relies on over 1,100 volunteers from the
community through the season to ensure its success. We essentially provide
a dry and safe place out of the elements
for adult men and women to sleep during
the cold months of November through
March, Scott explained. Since WARM
is a complete volunteer program and
does not have any consistent grants or
routine funding, this considerable donation from SMECO is significant to our
organization. It will help provide supplies, cover expenses and potentially enhance the program in ways we have not
been able to in the past, due to limited
funding.
Scott added, Community partners
such as SMECO, the Three Oaks Center; Walden Sierra; the St. Marys County Department of Social Services; the
St. Marys County Sherriffs office and
Detention Center, the Mission, and Medstar St. Marys Hospital have embraced
the WARM program in significant ways
and we are extremely thankful for this
support. We commend the SMECO employees for their efforts to make such a
lasting impact on their community.
SMECO hosted its fourth annual bike
ride on Saturday, June 6. Natalie Cotton, SMECOs community and public
affairs director, added, Our annual
bike ride receives great support from the
Oxon Hill Bike Club and local bicycle
enthusiasts. Participants can choose
among three bike routes of 29, 47, and
75 miles that start at the co-ops headquarters in Hughesville and go as far
as Coltons Point in St. Marys County.
Cotton added, We are especially grateful to business partners who participate
by donating resources to help make the
SMECO 75 Bike Ride a successful fundraiser. Major contributors include ICF
International, Penn Line, Infor, J.M.
Tennyson Construction, Origin, Adams, Jenkins and Cheatham, CGI, Cigna
Health, iFactor Consulting, New River
Electrical Corporation, Oracle Utilities, ProForma Johnston and Associates,
Prudential, Stantec, The Meltzer Group,
Barbara Ives, Booth and Associates,
Cerner, EnergyHub, Good Earth Natural
Foods, Integrand Information Systems,
M.D. Henry Company, Manis Canning and Associates, Opower, Utilitec,
and VFP, and we thank them for their
contributions.
Cotton added, We are already planning our fifth annual bike ride for June
4, 2016. Next year, our contributions will
go to Operation: Tohidu. According to
the Melwood.org website, Operation:
Tohidu is a seven-day holistic retreat
designed for wounded veterans and active duty military to help them overcome
obstacles to their recovery and support
their successful reintegration into their

entity for aquaculture matters. We, as

state legislators, are both representatives
on this Council on behalf of the Senate
and House of Delegates. There are also
representatives of the Departments of
Ag, Natural Resources, Environment,
Health, and Commerce. Additionally,
there are representatives of the University of Maryland Cooperative Extension, aquaculture academic research,
and the Center for Environmental Services (UMCES). Traditional watermen
and aquaculture watermen also serve on
the Council. The council was created
in statute in 2005. We both believe very
strongly that these efforts are important
in so many regards and to so many different interests, not the least of which
are the traditional farmers and fishermen working in and on our treasured environmental resources of land and water.
Our hope is that the farming community
and the commercial seafood industry
will embrace these developments as being in their own best interests. We are
hopeful that you will join us in support
of this most important work. Aquaculture is agriculture and fisheries management, and that is a good thing! Delegate
Tony ODonnell, Senator Kathy Klausmeier (R) Calvert/St. Marys, (D) Baltimore County Senator Klausmeier has

Assembly since 1995 representing Baltimore County. Delegate ODonnell has

supporting each other to thrive and feed

our state and nation. That should aid
our environment by unleashing private
market forces while doing so in a manner that is sustainable for the long haul.
Oh, did we mention this may also tend
to reduce the burden of taxpayers and
consumers in the future who are also
paying to help clean the Bay. The nutrient removal capabilities of an oyster are
well documented. One three inch oyster
is estimated to pump 50 gallons of water
a day, removing algae entrained nitrogen
and phosphorous as part of its feeding
and growth processes. Science is now
able to quantify to a relatively high degree of certainty the amount of nutrients
that are removed from the environment
through the biological digestive and
growth processes of oysters. The federal
EPA has now expressed some interest
in the development of best management
practices (BMPs) by the Chesapeake
Bay Program through an expert panel
currently proceeding under the auspices
of the Oyster Recovery Program. This
panels charge is to evaluate the scientific efficacy and recommendations for
developing a useable and viable nutrient credit trading system in the Chesapeake Bay watershed, specifically using
oysters. Depending on the outcome of
this evaluation, the ramifications for
agriculture, oyster aquaculture, and the
commercial seafood industry are potentially very large. To that end, we will
be submitting cross-filed legislation in
the upcoming session of the Maryland
General Assembly to add two representatives to the Aquaculture Coordinating
Council - one from the MD Farm Bureau
(MFB) and one from the Oyster Recovery Program (ORP). This Coordinating
Council is our states policy oversight
universally accepted both scientifically

and politically as an important strategy
of the Chesapeake Bay Program. Great
efforts and resources have been brought
to bear to make this happen. Maryland
has made great strides over the last 15
years or so to establish an oyster farming industry in our state as a part of this
effort. We have substantially reformed
our states leasing laws on Chesapeake
Bay and streamlined our governance,
oversight, and permitting processes for
oyster farming. This gives us another
manageable tool in helping to reduce
and remove detrimental nutrients from
the Bay and its tributaries while simultaneously creating jobs, revenue, and
commerce. These recent efforts have
received broad bi-partisan support now
through at least four different Governors Administrations (Glendenning,
Ehrlich, OMalley and Hogan). They
have also received strong bipartisan
support in the legislature. Many areas
of the country are now looking at Maryland as the word spreads to other states,
and even internationally, regarding what
we are doing on these matters right here
on Chesapeake Bay. Now heres the
kicker. Oyster aquaculture, as an accepted and vibrant sector of our agriculture industry in Maryland, holds the
promise of having our symbolic farmer
and fisherman reach metaphorically
across our states Great Seal and shake
hands in a gesture of mutual support and
helpfulness. As oyster farms help clean
the waters, the natural fisheries have an
environment to be vibrant, healthy, and
productive for our traditional watermen.
Oyster farms also can offer the land
based farmer assistance from a nutrient uptake and sequestration perspective. The plowman and the waterman
The Great Seal of the State of Maryland contains two figures symbolizing
our beloved states founding and bountiful natural resources; the land and the
waters. These two figures, a symbolic
farmer and a fisherman, remain as relevant today in our states collective identity and political discourse as they were
hundreds of years ago. Agriculture is
understood to be many different things
historically, socially, economically, environmentally as well as recreationally
and commercially. Most of us broadly
view agriculture as the land-based raising of crops and livestock, plants and animals, for consumption and other beneficial use. In a general sense, aquaculture
is no different with the unique exception
being that aquaculture predominantly
occurs on the water instead of the land.
Maryland state law formally defines
aquaculture as both an agricultural and
fisheries management activity. This
definition is most clearly illuminated as
our states policy makers, along with our
federal and local partners, grapple with
ways to sustain both our traditional land
based farming and the productive health
of our states fisheries in Chesapeake Bay
and its tributaries. These policy challenges, by their very nature, shall and
must cause new and innovative ways to
keep our farmers and our fisherman as
productive and viable as ever while helping to create a sustainable environment
for ourselves and future generations.
One aspect of aquaculture, oyster farming, is emerging as another potentially
important policy initiative to help maintain both the environment and commercial activities compatible with our
states best long-term interests. Restoring the oyster population to Chesapeake
Bay to the maximum extent possible is

Calvert County Needs Your Help
By Crista Dockray
Staff Writer
Humane Society of Calvert County
The Humane Society
of Calvert County is a
non-profit, no-kill animal
shelter that provides shelter and care for homeless
dogs and cats. Currently
they have about 30 dogs
and five cats at their main
shelter and around 12
cats at their cattery. The
shelter is always looking for the community to
lend a helping hand and
there are many ways to
do this.
One way is to sponsor
one of the dogs or cats for
$30. With the $30 donation you will receive a
card, a picture of one of
the dogs or cats, information about the animal,
an adoption certificate,
and Humane Society of
Calvert County one-year
membership.
Another way is to
make a monetary donation. With the donation,
you can specify a certain
animal or area of the shelter you would like your
donation to benefit or just
allow it to help the shelter in anyway it chooses.
Many of the dogs need
medical attention for surgeries or medications and
the shelter always needs
the assistance to keep doing as much as they do.
Monetary donations can

be sent to P.O. Box 3505
Prince Frederick, Md.
20678. Donation Dollars
can be given online.
You may also donate
items for the shelter; this
includes things such as
paper towels, food, and
toys. Please see the list
for all of the items needed. You can drop off your
donated items at their
main location. Donation
hours are 7 a.m. to 11
a.m. and 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.
on weekdays and 7 a.m.
to 6 p.m. on weekends.
The shelter also needs
volunteers and dog walkers.
Above all, the dogs
need loving homes. If you
cant make the full commitment, you can foster
an animal for a few days
during the holidays. If
you would like to adopt,
adoption forms are online and adoption hours
are Saturdays 11 a.m. to
2 p.m., Sundays noon to 3
p.m. and Monday through
Friday 2:30 to 4:30 p.m.,
or by appointment. Available animals are online.

Bethany needs her leg amputated.
crista@countytimes.net
Ruths Miracle Group provides

transitional housing for women in
recovery from domestic violence,
substance abuse, and other critical
life issues that may have caused
them to become homeless. The
home was founded in 2009 but Veronica Alston, she called the home
her passion and her dream. According to the presentation given
at the League of Women Voters
Legislative Evening, the 501(c)(3)
is operated entirely by grants and
private donations from individuals
and businesses in the community.
They provide programs that help the
women set goals, get group support,
help with addiction, perform com-
munity service, build self-esteem ,

learn parenting skills and in the end,
transition back into society as productive citizens.
At the moment, they critically
need monetary donations from the
community to help fund these programs, help keep the home running,
and provide women with the ability to save their money and even
buy Christmas presents for their
children. They also plan to open a
new women and childrens home,
Ms. Vs Place, in Charles County in
January 2016. To donate, visit their

Anne Arundel County was last years winner of the
$10,000 computer equipment prize.
Code.org says that Maryland currently has nearly
20,000 open computing jobs, but only 2,000 computer science graduates coming out of colleges
and universities in the State. The average salary
for a computer science occupation in Maryland is
$98,593.
Nearly 4,700 Maryland students were enrolled
in computer science and information technology courses at 49 high schools in the State during
the 2014-15 school year. An increasing number of
schools are offering AP computer science courses,
and 1,568 exams were taken at 120 high schools.

You Just Might Be

A Severe Driver
Chances are you are a severe driver. In fact, for most

motorists today, being a severe
driver is more the rule than the
exception.
Normal driving is defined as steady driving in steady traffic, non-extreme weather
or environments. Severe driving refers to
stop-and-go traffic, short commutes, rough
or mountainous roads, dusty or salty environments, driving in extremely hot or cold
weather, transporting heavier loads or towing a trailer.
There are easy steps you can take to reduce the effects of severe driving and improve fuel economy, such as:
Follow the severe service schedule in
your owners manual.
Check fluids, including oil, and filters
more frequently.
Have certain components, such as brakes
and shocks, inspected more regularly.
Observe the speed limit.

Gas mileage decreases rapidly above 60 mph.
Avoid quick starts and
stops. Aggressive driving
can lower gas mileage.
Dont haul unneeded items in the trunk,
as extra weight will reduce fuel economy.
Order a free copy of the Car Care Councils 80-page Car Care Guide at www.carcare.org/car-care-resource/car-care-guide/.
By properly maintaining and repairing
your vehicle, it will perform safely, dependably and efficiently for years to come, no
matter the driving conditions.
This week, the Maryland Department of

Health and Mental Hygiene joins the U.S.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,
as well as many national and international
partners, to observe the eighth annual Get
Smart About Antibiotics Week, a weeklong
initiative to raise awareness of antibiotic resistance and the importance of appropriate antibiotic prescribing and use.
Maryland residents should remember that
inappropriate use of antibiotics, such as for
viral illnesses, contributes to antibiotic resistance and brings us closer to a world where antibiotics no longer work when we need them,
said Dr. Howard Haft, Deputy Secretary for
Public Health Services at Health and Mental
Hygiene.
Antibiotic resistance is one of the worlds
most pressing public health threats. Antibiotic overuse increases the development of
drug-resistant germs. Everyone including
healthcare providers, hospital administrators,
policy makers and especially patients must
work together to reduce unnecessary use of
antibiotics.
In 2013, the CDC released Antibiotic Resistance Threats in the United States, snapshot of the burden of resistance around the
country and a call to action on this important
public health threat. The CDC estimates that
antibiotic resistance causes more 2 million
illnesses and 23,000 deaths each year in the
United States. This translates to approximately 36,000 illnesses and more than 400 deaths
in Maryland each year because of antibiotic
resistance. To read the full report, visit goo.gl/
d7bYIG.
The way we use antibiotics today directly
impacts how effective they will be tomorrow,
and the way we use them in one patient can
directly impact how effective they will be in
another patient; they are a shared resource.
Antibiotic resistance is not just a problem
for the person with an infection. Some resistant bacteria have the potential to spread to
other patients promoting antibiotic-resistant

infections.
Viruses cause many common illnesses that
antibiotics CANNOT treat including:
Colds
Influenza/ the flu (which is treatable with
antiviral medications)
Runny noses
Most coughs
Most bronchitis
Most sore throats
Most sinus infections and
Some ear infections
Viral illnesses, like colds, usually go away
in a week or two without treatment. Even many
bacterial ear infections go away by themselves. Ask your doctor or your childs pediatrician what can be used to relieve symptoms.
Patients also should keep in mind that taking antibiotics comes with a risk of side effects. Antibiotic use can:
Kill good bacteria in your body, which
might lead to complications such as C. difficile, diarrhea cases or yeast infections.
Cause a serious allergic reaction that
might require hospitalization.
Cause other side effects such as rash or
gastrointestinal upset
Result in an antibiotic-resistant infection.
Resistant bacteria are stronger and harder to
kill. They stay in your body and can cause
severe illnesses that cannot be cured by antibiotics. A cure for a resistant infection might
require stronger treatment- and possibly a hospital stay.
Therefore, antibiotics should only be used
when truly necessary. To learn more about the
CDCs Get Smart about Antibiotics campaign
for patients, visit goo.gl/Y9opSj. To learn
more about the CDCs Get Smart about Antibiotics campaign for healthcare professionals,
visit goo.gl/pn2xQc.

The St. Marys Hospital Foundation 28th

annual Gala will be held Friday, Nov. 20,
at the Hollywood Social Hall. In keeping with this years James Bond theme,
Diamonds are Forever, G&H Jewelers is
donating a two-tier diamond pendant and
earring set valued at more than $11,000 to
be raffled off during the event.
In addition, each person who purchases
a chance to win the jewelry, will receive a
$25 gift card to G&H. Only 250 chances
will be sold and individuals must be present at the Gala to win the jewelry.
Having been a part of this community
for more than 50 years we have watched
as the area has continually and consistently
grown, said Joan Harris, owner of G&H.
As the population in our area increases,
there arises a need for a larger and more
technologically-advanced healthcare facility. We at G&H Jewelers decided to donate
to the foundation event this year in an effort to aide in the growth of MedStar St.
Marys Hospital for its dedicated service to
not only our wonderful customers, but to
the entire tri-county area as well.
Proceeds from the Gala benefit numerous programs at MedStar St. Marys Hospital, a not-for-profit hospital serving the
community for more than 100 years.
Having a high-quality hospital at the
heart of our community is paramount to sustaining the communitys health, said Jennifer
Blake-Meyer, president of the St. Marys Hospital Foundation. Donations and partnerships
with local businesses help bring advancements
to MedStar St. Marys Hospital that may not
have been otherwise possible. In addition, they
allow the Foundation and the hospital to serve as
an important community resource.
In 2015, the Foundation funded seven scholarships to high school students planning to pursue
degrees in health care in addition to a new GE
Monitoring System, which will significantly improve patient monitoring. In previous years, the
Foundation also helped fund the Dr. J. Patrick
Jarboe Mobile Health Center, which provides
primary healthcare services to under insured
and uninsured members of our community.
Tickets are now on sale for this years Gala, a
black-tie affair featuring fine-dining and dancing. Tickets for the raffle may be purchased in
advance or during the event. Visit MedStarSt-
