Transportation
Plan Up For Review
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
A federally mandated long range
transportation plan between Calvert
and St. Marys County is now available
for review and comment by citizens
but the proposed plan proferred by the
Metropolitan Planning Organization
(MPO) has many of the same transportation priorities long sought here.
The MPO designation came as a result of 2010 census data that showed
the Chesapeake Ranch Estates in Calvert and much of the Lexington Park
Development District in St. Marys as
vital population hubs.
Still some elected leaders resisted
since they viewed it as another intrusion into local land use planning
authority.
The plan, dubbed Moving Forward
2040, has the replacement of the current Thomas Johnson Bridge from a
two-lane to a new four lane structure
as its top priority, with expansions and
improvement of Route 4 on either side
of the bridge in each county as highly
desirable projects as well.
Another key project is to create ma-
jor interchange at the intersection of

Route 4 and Route 235 in St. Marys
County, which is the busiest intersection there.
The new bridge, which would be
constructed 70 to 140 feet south of the
existing span, is projected for completion sometime between the present and
2027 at a cost of $510.4 million.
The four-lane widening of Route 4 in
St. Marys County is set for completion
all the way to Route 235 and should be
completed by 2023, according to the
proposed plan, at cost of $88 million.
The interchange is projected to be
finished by 2028 at a cost of $232 million, the plan stated.
The widening of Route 4 on the Calvert side up to the Patuxent Point Parkway should come in at a far smaller
price tag of just $10.5 million.
The total cost of those four main
improvements comes to $841.4 million
which the state has projected is a reasonable expectation of available funds,
according to the report.

Law and health officers in Calvert County say

that while gun violence is a serious issue in the
community, it accounts for only a small fraction of
homicides.
Last year there was just one gun-related homicide in Calvert, a top local law enforcement official
said.
They, along with expert panelists, attended a
community discussion on ways to curb gun violence at Middleham and St. Peters Parish in Lusby
on Sunday.
Capt. Steve Jones, with the Calvert Sheriffs Office, said that deputies took specific steps to reduce
the possibility of gun violence and gun homicides
by taking guns out of homes where domestic violence occurs, which has often been linked to firearms tragedies.
He noted that in instances such as those law officers used to use discretion in making an arrest now
if they see a victim with an injury they must make
an arrest.
In the past, victims had the choice as to whether
they wanted deputies to affect an arrest or not,
Jones said.
We no longer have that discretion, Jones said.
Also in Calvert, deputies are now making what
he called complete traffic stops where they are
giving more than speeding citations for traffic
violations.
Were looking for guns, were asking questions, Jones told the attendees at the parish hall.
Suicides far outpaced the number of gun
homicides.
Last year in Calvert there were seven suicides by
gun, Jones said.
Deaths from opioid abuse surpass both gun
suicides and homicides, according to the latest figures, with 11 such deaths from overdoses occurring in Calvert just last year.
One serious problem, though, said Jones, was
that the majority of guns used in crime overall in
Calvert were stolen, which meant that gun owners
should take greater efforts to keep their weapons
secure.
Jones said it was already illegal to have a firearm
unsecured in the presence of anyone 16 years old
or younger.
Though gun violence in general is low in Calvert, law officers are still concerned about the recent phenomena of active shooters who open fire
on unarmed and unsuspecting groups of people.
Law officers have actively drilled in schools and
have educated school staff about what to expect in
such an event, Jones said, including the firing of
blank rounds to simulate the stress of an attack.
That same education has also been extended to
health workers at Calvert Memorial Hospital, he
said, as well as to personnel at urgent care facilities.

Hogan Celebrate Korean-American Day
Governor Larry Hogan today issued a statewide proclamation declaring
Wednesday, Jan. 13 Korean-American
Day in Maryland. The proclamation was
presented to Korean-American leaders at
a ceremony today in acknowledgment of
the invaluable contributions of the Korean-American community to Maryland and
the United States. Korean-American Day
is acknowledged yearly on Jan. 13, commemorating the day in 1903 when the first
Korean immigrants arrived to America
in Honolulu, Hawaii. This year marks the
113th anniversary of their arrival.
The Korean-American community is

incredibly important to Maryland and to
America as a whole, said Governor Hogan. For over a century they have added
to the richness and diversity of our country, and our administration remains committed to fostering a vibrant, flourishing Korean-American community here
in Maryland. I am proud to call myself
a hanguk sahwi, or son-in-law to the
people of Korea.
As part of the celebration, Governor
Hogan and First Lady Yumi Hogan today hosted a reception for members of the
Korean-American community, including

Korean Ambassador to the United States
Ahn Ho-Young, embassy representatives,
and leaders in the Korean-American community, at the State House in Annapolis.
In May, Governor Hogan visited Seoul,
Korea, as part of a 12 day economic development trade mission, and formed several
partnerships to strengthen economic and
educational ties between South Korea and
Maryland.

Maryland Zoo
Receives AZA Quarter
Century Award
The Association of Zoos and Aquariums
(AZA), the primary accrediting body for
top zoos and aquariums in the United States
since 1974, announced today the recipients of the Associations Quarter Century
Award. Established in 2015, this new award
acknowledges facilities that have maintained AZA accreditation continuously for
25 years or more, highlighting their commitment to animal care, welfare, conservation, education, and more. The inaugural
group of 119 awardees includes many facilities that have successfully achieved AZA
accreditation well beyond the 25 year mark,
including The Maryland Zoo in Baltimore.
AZA is dedicated to ensuring that the
highest standards in the zoological profession are met, and this means that the accreditation process is therefore quite rigorous, said AZA President and CEO Jim
Maddy. The fact that these aquariums and
zoos have maintained continuous AZA accreditation for 25 years or more is an extraordinary achievement that deserves to be
celebrated.
We are incredibly proud of our status as
an AZA accredited zoo, said Don Hutchinson, president and CEO of The Maryland
Zoo. That we have met the rising standards
to maintain our accreditation since 1980 is
a huge feat. Over time zoos and aquariums
have grown to not only focus on animal welfare, but also on our commitment to education and conservation action. Together, we
are making a difference in todays world.
To be accredited, AZA-accredited facilities have completed a thorough review to

ensure that they meet and will continue to
meet rising standards, which include animal care, veterinary programs, conservation, education, and safety. AZA requires
zoos and aquariums to successfully complete this rigorous accreditation process every five years in order to be members of the
Association.
The accreditation process includes a detailed application and a meticulous on-site
inspection by a team of trained zoo and
aquarium professionals. The inspecting
team observes all aspects of the institutions
operation, including animal care; keeper
training; safety for visitors, staff and animals; educational programs; conservation
efforts; veterinary programs; financial stability; risk management; visitor services;
and other areas. Finally, top officials are interviewed at a formal hearing of AZAs independent Accreditation Commission, after
which accreditation is granted, tabled, or
denied. Any institution that is denied may
reapply one year after the Commissions decision is made.
Recipients of AZAs Quarter Century
Award will receive a plaque honoring their
achievement. The full list of facilities continuously accredited by AZA for 25 years
or more is available by request.

The Calvert County Times is a weekly newspaper providing news and information for the residents of Calvert County. The Calvert
County Times will be available on newsstands every Thursday. The paper is published by Southern Maryland Publishing Company,
which is responsible for the form, content, and policies of the newspaper. The Calvert County Times does not espouse any political belief
or endorse any product or service in its news coverage.
To be considered for publication, articles and letters to the editor submitted must include the writers full name, address and daytime
phone number. Submissions must be delivered by 4 p.m. on the Monday prior to our Thursday publication to ensure placement for that
week. After that deadline, the Calvert County Times will make every attempt possible to publish late content, but cannot guarantee so.
Letters may be condensed/edited for clarity, although care is taken to preserve the core of the writers argument. Copyright in material
submitted to the newspaper and accepted for publication remains with the author, but the Calvert County Times and its licensees may
freely reproduce it in print, electronic or other forms. We are unable to acknowledge receipt of letters. The Calvert County Times cannot
guarantee that every letter or photo(s) submitted will be published, due to time or space constraints.
Often still referred to as Planning and Zoning and often an organization that receives much criticism; it does
have to tell people no. We have a zoning ordinance, developed over time, and an ordinance is simply another
word for local law elected officials swear an oath to
uphold and enforce. At times, what an individual wants
to do with their property or business conflicts with these
established zoning rules.
This organization consists of Development Review,
Environmental, Long Range Planning, Zoning, Permitting, and Code Enforcement. It also supports the Board
of Appeals and the Planning Commission.
The Board of Appeals (BOA) provides decisions on alleged errors that citizens believe occurred by the county
staff. It requires staff with knowledge and understanding
of the Calvert County Zoning Ordinance, high level skills
in providing customer support, verifying information,
and maintaining detailed records. The BOA also reviews
applications and grants Special Exceptions for nonconforming uses, changes or expansions. There is also a
means to provide variances to zoning to include General,
Critical Area, Floodplain, and Forrest Conservation.
Administrative and data support is also needed for
CPB who processes bonds that sometimes are required
to ensure a proposed development occurs as planned.
Staff needs to accept payments for bonds, citations, fees
in lieu, and other mitigation payments. They also process
and manage requisitions and department expenditures.
Additionally, staff develops, maintains, and oversees
operating budgets; track and oversee programs, objectives, track, schedule, and evaluate work on projects under Commissioners guidance. Very important activity
occurs when resolving department issues and customer
complaints as directed by the County Commissioners.
Customer (citizen) support involves maintaining files,
records, supplies and inventory, preparing architectural
review packages, managing the website, maintaining
support at the front counter services area, and preparing
weekly, quarterly and other reports.
Data support is also provided to maintain Geographic
Information System (GIS) layers to provide road addressing services, maintain large format scanning and printing equipment, and preparing GIS analysis and mapping
tasks/maintain database.
Subsequent articles will provide more insight into the
Development Review, Environmental, Long Range Planning, and Zoning, Permitting, and Code Enforcement areas of this organization.

by others, attended the One Room School
House in Wallsville and The Pink School
in Island Creek through the fifth grade. He
used to walk to school every day from Ross
Rd. to Hance Rd. Dan would watch over the
younger children, making sure they safely
arrived at school and back home.
Dan attended Brooks UMC faithfully
with his parents. While at a camp meeting,
he met the love of his life Myrtle Sutton. It
was love at first sight. They were introduced
by his first cousin Virginia Butler. They
were married during their teenage years
and from this union, eight lovely children
were born. As a young couple, they started
a family right away. During that time, the
men had to either enlist in the Army or work
on a farm. Dan chose to work on Mr. Ben
Parrans Farm so he could stay with his wife
and children. After working on the farm
for a few months, he quickly realized that
farm work was not for him. He enlisted in
the Army. He was chosen to be sent to fight
in the Korean War. The initial ship that he
was supposed to board was overcrowded
so he had to get on the next one. It was by
the grace of God that he didnt board that
ship because it was blown up. While serving in the Army, Dan became close to his
commander who eventually was able to help
him return back home to his family. Dan
Worked hard to support his family making
only 55 cents per hour cutting wood. Eventually he started his own carpentry company. Dan worked for The Calverton School
for 32 years and retired in 2013. He was also
a member of Victoria Lodge #71 F. & AM,
PHA.
Dans love and adoration for his wife was
unconditional. He loved her all in sickness
and in health. After her passing, he would
go to her grave twice a day faithfully unless
he was sick. People would ask him, How
did you stay married for so long? His reply
would be, I fall in love with her over again
everyday. Dan and Myrtle were happily
married for 61 years.
Dan loved the Lord with all his heart. He
was a God-fearing man who helped many
churches. He was also a promoter of gospel
singing programs all over. He and his wife
would travel to the programs along with
their travel partners Mr. and Mrs. Leroy
and Ruth Blake, Mr. and Mrs. George and
Faynette Johnson and Mrs. Gladys Gray.
He served faithfully at Brooks UMC while
he was a member there and also at Easter
UMC where he transferred his membership.
He served on several committees, the usher
board and wherever he was needed. A year
late, his nephew Elder Desi Weems began
his ministry and Dan was led to help and
support him. He was appointed as a Deacon
there and served faithfully until his passing.
Daniel was loving and kind to everyone.
He was also a father figure to many other
such as his nieces, nephews, friends of his
children, and grandchildren. He would help
and take in anyone who needed a place to
stay and food to eat. He made everyone feel
loved. Even though he spread his love to so
many, his family never felt neglected.
Dan lived on his familys land known
as, The Farm for the majority of his life.
He loved and treasured the land dearly. He
would tell us how important it was to hold
onto the land because a lot of blacks no longer owned their land and how his grandfather had worked to obtain the land over 139
years ago.
He lived to see his ninetieth birthday on
Dec. 18, which was a huge blessing. He
thanked God for allowing him to live a long
life.
On Saturday, Dec. 19 his family had

planned to celebrate his ninetieth birthday,
but God had other plans. He quietly and
quickly made his transition into glory. The
Lord called him home.
He was proceeded in death by his wife
Myrtly on April 10, 2007. He is survived
by his eight children, Daniel (Regina), Leroy (Rachel), Earl (Cheryl), Vanessa (Sylvester), Roxanne (Ronald), Jerry, Diatrich,
Lisa (Sherron), 40 grandchildren and 59
great grandchildren, 12 great, great grandchildren, two special cousins who were like
his brothers John Phillip Butler and Jimmy
Gray, two sister in laws Marie Gross and
Delores Torney, so many special friends all
of whose friendship he treasured, special
family friends Mrs. Edna Thompson and
family, a host of nieces and nephews whom
he loved as if there were his own, and a host
of cousins and friends. He will be missed by
all.

Southern Maryland Community Resources

By Crista Dockray
Staff Writer
Southern Maryland Community Resources is a new but already vital part of
the community.
Our purpose and our mission is to be
able to develop inclusive social and recreational programs for individuals that
have developmental differences, said
Bonnie Elward the Executive Director of
SMCR.
Although there are many events like
the Special Olympics and resources such
as the Arc of Southern Maryland and
Center for Life Enrichment, SMCR adds
another source of support.
It adds something else to the menu, if
you will, said Elward.
SMCR, a newly named 501(c)(3), started in Southern Maryland just a short 2.5
years ago on July 17, 2013. Elward wanted to do a white mass at the Saint Aloysius Church in Leonardtown to celebrate
equality, but realized they did not have
the community of persons with different abilities to celebrate with them. From
that, they started a ministry.
Potomac Community Resources in Potomac, Md. has been working with people
with disabilities for 20 years. They wanted to grow and spread their work so they
asked Elward, who was working with the
ministry at the time, to be the executive

director of SMCR and hire a board.

She graciously accepted.
Elward hired board members with impressive backgrounds ranging from a resource specialist from St. Marys County
Public Schools to the president of Bowhead Science and Technology. Some of
the board members are parents of disabled individuals, some work with them
by profession, and some eagerly learned
on the job.
The purpose of SMCR is not only to
create programs for individuals with
disabilities, of all backgrounds, but also
to build a bridge between them and the
community.
Many times, after an individual with a
disability goes through the school system
and they turn 21, programs drop, money
drops, and activities drop. SMCR wants
to fill that gap and help them connect
with the community at that vital time.
Its like when the kids get out of high
school they get dropped off and the programs just kind of stop and thats when
they need it more than anything. SMCR
gives them a chance to get exercise, to
be with their peers and gives them the
chance to have a normal life. It has helped
me socialize, too, said parent Julie McCarthy whose son Bryan, 23, is an active
participant with SMCR.
Currently, SMCR runs a few monthly
programs including movie night and
bowling night. These programs dont

just involve people with disabilities,
but people without. SMCR is building
that important bridge they hope will
bring a new way of life for the disabled
in the future.
It helps the community get used to
people with disabilities, said McCarthy. It warms my heart to see him interact with people.
Movie night is located at the Knights Rocco Aiello, a board member, works with
of Columbus Hall, which includes pop- participants of SMCR during his aquatic program.
corn, sodas, and sometimes pizza.
Bowling Night takes place at Esperanza Lanes. It was created by Rocco
Aiello, Coordinator for Adaptive Physical Education and Corollary Sports
for St. Marys County Public Schools,
who has been creating programs and
working with people with disabilities
for over 20 years. Bowling Night is $12
for two hours of bowling and shoes are
included.
Every other week, St. Marys Ryken
High School holds the Art to Heart program, which has classes in art, music,
dance, chorus, and theatre. 15 members of the program are students at the
school and 15 are from SMCR.
Dispersed throughout the month are
a variety of programs like cooking
classes, exercises programs, and workshops. Look to the calendar at www.
somdcr.org to follow their monthly
events.
Southern Maryland Community Resources is available to citizens of both
Calvert and Saint Marys County. Although most events do take place in

Calvert INSPIRED
to Get Well
By Skylar Broome
Contributing Writer
Calvert residents had the opportunity to be conscientious of the amount
of local businesses centered on health in
their area this week by attending the INSPIRE Calvert Wellness event. Hosted
by Postons Fitness for Life Center in
Dunkirk, the event gave residents the
opportunity to speak to health professionals and to gain awareness of health
programs available in the area. According to Postons Fitness for Life Centers
website, Dr. Cynthia Sclater ofGentle
Family Dentistry led the event as part of
Healthiest Maryland Business initiative.
The event took place on Friday, Jan. 8
and ran from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Health practitioners from many different profes-
sions attended the event, including pediatricians, physical therapists and eye experts. Businesses such as Pivot Physical,
Dunkirk Vision, and even No Thyme
to Cook attended the event. It gave
businesses a chance to network with
residents, says Bob Poston, owner of
Postons Fitness for Life Center. Weve
been here for four years and some folks
didnt even know we were a fitness center. The event attracted many walk-ins
from the area, especially clients from
the businesses that had advertised the
event. In addition to raising awareness,
the event also spurred discussion of creating a follow-up event focused on the
issue of childhood obesity.

Collecting History
By Madeleine Buckley
Contributing Writer
If you go searching in the closets of the Calvert Marine Museum, Calvert Historical Society,
Jefferson-Patterson Park or the Bayside History
Museum, you may find something valuable. Not
jewels or fossils, but stories oral histories that
have been forgotten.
Now, Calvert Library plans to collect those histories, as well as to record some of their own.
If people dont know theyre there, no one can
access them, said Robyn Truslow, Public Relations Coordinator at Calvert Library. We really
wanted to have a project where we create local
history materials that are easily accessible, and
that means digital, easy to search, transcribed and
well tagged.
The library made a plan for this project last
year when Story Corps, a national initiative to
record American oral histories, offered grants to
about a dozen libraries.
Calvert Library applied but did not receive a
grant. However, with a proposal already created,
the Calvert Library Foundation decided to make
the project happen by providing the same equipment Story Corps would have.
We really had all of our ducks in a row, Truslow said, And the foundation said theyd pay for
it.
Each interview will be conducted in the same
fashion as Story Corps. Two people who know
each other will sit down, and one will ask the other questions about his or her life. Each interview
will take about 40 minutes.
Even 40 minutes is not going to cover a life,
obviously, Truslow said. Its an opportunity to
get a taste of each person.
They will encourage interviewers to stay with
the theme Transforming Calvert County, focusing on those who have impacted Calvert County,
especially through farming, politics or volunteer
work.
For now, the library will be reaching out to
people they want to interview so they dont repeat those who have been recorded by other
establishments.
There are so many backlogged already, and
there are a few we knew we wanted to capture
right away, Truslow said. Some of those folks
who have been important to the library havent
been done yet.
One such individual is Martha Grahame, a long
time volunteer with Calvert Library, her church,
and the Calvert Nature Society. She hopes to have
her daughter interview her, which Truslow considers a perfect pairing.
[Marthas] been a huge volunteer Truslow

said. If she were just to say all of the things shes
done for the library it would probably take most
of that 40 minutes.
After interviewing Grahame and others on
their list, the library plans to open up the opportunity to record oral histories to the general public.
As for the collections usage, Truslow believes
all types of people will access the histories once
they are available. For example, she hopes students will use them as new primary sources for
History Fair projects.
She has also noticed a general interest in local
history and says that many, like her, may want to
hear old stories just for fun. According to Truslow, some stories will go beyond farming and
other traditional topics.
What was dating like back then? I think
young people would be interested to know, she
said. I remember my great aunt talking about
courting, and she called it sparking.
So far, the team has completed about four interviews, all with people who were councilors at
Camp Roosevelt.
These interviews are in the transcription process, but they will soon be posted to digitalmaryland.org, an online collection of historical and
documents where the oral histories will be available and searchable.
To make all of this possible, the library will
rely on three types of volunteers. One will coordinate the interviews by reserving meeting rooms
and setting up the equipment. Another will be the
transcriber, and a third will review the transcription to ensure nothing was skipped and that all
headings are thorough.
Currently, there are about a dozen volunteers,
but the library is still looking for additional people to fill these roles, especially transcribers.
We are in a good place to get started, Truslow said. But the ultimate goal is to create a large
cadre of volunteers.
However, as the project continues to grow and
develop, Truslow gives all of the credit to volunteer and retired library director Pat Hofmann,
who is leading the initiative.
I love Calvert County and I have met so
many amazing people during my 30 years here,
Hofmann said. I want to be part of capturing Calverts history and making it available to
everyone.
If you are interested in volunteering with the
oral history initiative, or if you want more information, visit calvert.lib.md.us/oralhistoryinitiative.html or call Robyn Truslow at 410-535-0291.

Exhibit Extension
Announcement!
When Thoughts Become
Art Through March 6, 2016
Annmarie Sculpture Garden and Arts

Center in Solomons, Md. is excited to announce the extension through March 6,
2016 of When Thoughts Become Art,
the art of John A. Schaffner and J. Luray
Schaffner. The wonderful show is placed
upstairs, in the Mezzanine Gallery of the
Murray Arts Building.
This dynamic Southern Maryland artistic couple, John and Luray Schaffner met
at the Columbus College of Art and Design
(CCAD) in Columbus, Ohio in 1958. John
was two years ahead of Luray but after they
both graduated they were married in 1962
and have been creating art ever since. The
Schaffners are celebrating their 54th wedding anniversary this past year and still
very prolific in creating work. John creating mostly wood sculptures, Luray, creating mixed media collages. Both work in the
abstract style and one can see the influence
of CCAD in their work. They even surprise
each other sometimes with designs and color that resemble one another even though
they have separate studios apart from each
other.
