Additional Staff Hired to Monitor Zika Infected Mosquitoes

By Crista Dockray
Staff Writer
At their regularly scheduled meeting Tuesday, the Calvert County
Board of County Commissioners
heard the Calvert County Health Departments (CCHD) semi-annual update. According to the report from
CCHD, the Zika Virus has infected
around 500 U.S. residents, which includes 16 Marylanders, none of which
are from Calvert County.
The report said the Zika Virus is
transmitted by mosquitoes and sexual
contact and is proven to cause a large
amount of damage to both fetal and
adult brains.
Calvert County Government is
working with Maryland Dept. of Agriculture to monitor mosquito population, the report said. They are making
preparations for mosquito eradication
if needed and the CCHD is working
with the county government to provide money for mosquito traps, print
public information material, and provide educational outreach across the
county.
According to a memo from the Department of General Services that was
discussed later that same day, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention
has released a guidance document on
surveillance and control of mosquito
species related to the Zika Virus. The
Maryland Department of Health and Graphic Provided by Calvert County Health Department
Mental Hygiene is currently drafting
Zika Virus.

Animal Matters Hearing Board Approved for

Public Hearing
By Crista Dockray
Staff Writer
The Animal Control Unit is requesting an
Animal Matters Hearing Board to be established within the County.
According to Craig Dichter, Chief Animal Control Officer, back in March 2008,
the previous Board of County Commissioners adopted some changes to the Chapter 7 animal ordinance, which at that time,
had language put into it that allowed for
an Animal Matters Hearing Board. It later
had to be removed because a legislative request was required, which was eventually
approved.
Now, they Animal Control Unit is trying once again to make the Hearing Board
come to life. According to Dichter, a lot of
research has gone into their request for a
board, including going up to Charles County to see how their Animal Matters Hearing
Board functions.
According to Dichter, all cases for noncompliance of citations are currently given
to District Court for a hearing and the
dangerous animal appeals are heard by a
Lieutenant in the Calvert County Sheriffs
Office.
If the Animal Matters Hearing Board is

approved, it would shift the responsibilities
and even take on more, like settling disputes and complaints.
It clears up the court system, it clears us
up from having be in the courts, and if there
is any fines, it is coming back to the county
now instead of to the courts, said Dichter
about the benefits.
The board will consist of five members,
three citizens with only one allowed to have
an affiliation with an animal rescue group,
one deputy sheriff and one veterinarian or
veterinarian technician. They will meet
at least once every three months to hear
and decide all the administrative appeals.
They will also make recommendations for
changes to the local ordinance.
There are several items that we would
like to see changed, said Dichter.
It is requested that all five members be
citizens of Calvert County and they will be
hired as any other board would.
The report said the fiscal impact will be
minimal, but it has yet to be determined.
Commissioners approved the matter to go
to public hearing five to zero.

SMECO - The Cooperative Difference
Nearly 80 years ago, when rural areas

needed electricity, cooperatives were created. Visionary men and women helped
to form the Southern Maryland Electric
Cooperative (SMECO). SMECO now provides electric service to 160,000 customers in Charles County, St. Marys County,
southern Prince Georges County, and
all but the northeast portion of Calvert
County.
Cooperatives are distinctly different
from investor-owned utilities because coops are owned by their customers. Customer-members elect the men and women
who serve on the Board of Directors. Customer-members share the responsibility of
ownership by financing the cooperatives
operations, but they also share its rewards.
Each year, SMECOs marginsrevenue less expensesare allocated to customers capital credit accounts. SMECO
uses margins as working capital for new
construction and system improvements.
Then, whenever the Board of Directors
determines that the financial condition of
the co-op warrants, members receive a
refund.
As a cooperative, SMECO will always
put its members first and be responsive,
reliable, and resourcefulthe power you
can count on.
Follow SMECO on Facebook at www.
facebook.com/SMECO.coop and on Twitter at www.twitter.com/somdelectric. The
SMECO 24/7 mobile app is available at

Calvert County Officials Urge Awareness

During Hurricane Preparedness Week
National Hurricane Preparedness Week

began Sunday, May 15, and the Calvert
County Division of Emergency Management is teaming with the Maryland Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) and
the National Weather Service (NWS) to promote citizen awareness and preparedness.
The Atlantic hurricane season lasts from
June to November but most hurricane-like
weather is seen between mid-August and
late October. Calvert County is at risk for
strong winds, heavy rain, inland flooding
and other severe weather. Residents can be
weather ready by ensuring they know
how to get a warning, have a plan and practice safety tips.
The NWS reports that in Maryland it is
possible to see hurricanes or hurricane-like
activity during the summer. NWS notes
that damage to coastlines and destruction
several hundred miles inland is possible
with these tropical storms. Hurricanes can
produce up to 150 mile-per-hour winds,
devastating high tides, flooding from torrential rain and even tornadoes.
This time of year is a good time to sign
up for Calvert ALERT, a notification system that can send messages by text, email,
fax, land line and pager. Residents are
urged to visit the county website and click
the Emergency Alerts link to register for
the notification service. Those without Internet access can call 410-535-1600, ext.
2638, to sign up. Residents are also encouraged to stay on top of emergency information by downloading the free Prepare Me
Calvert mobile application now available
for iOS (Apple) and Android devices.
To learn more about emergency preparedness, contact the Calvert County
Department of Public Safety, Division
of Emergency Management, at 410-5351600, ext. 2638. For information on Calvert
County Government, visit www.co.cal.
md.us or like us on Facebook.
Residents can also take actions to remain safe by practicing the following tips:
Stay tuned to radio and TV stations for official weather information.
Follow instructions and advice given by emergency officials.
Stay indoors during the hurricane and away from windows and glass doors.
Close all interior doors; secure and brace external doors.
Take refuge in a small interior room, closet or hallway on the lowest level.
Avoid using the phone except in the case of emergencies.
Avoid elevators.
If you live in a mobile home, plan to leave. Mobile homes are unsafe in high
winds.
Do not attempt to evacuate during the height of a hurricane. You are safer in
your home than out on the road.
Ensure a supply of water for sanitary purposes such as for cleaning and flushing toilets. Fill a bathtub or other large container with water. This is important for those
whose water runs off of an electrical system.

THE MEN AND WOMEN OF LAW ENFORCEMENT IN SOUTHERN MARYLAND

SOME OF OUR GREATEST UNSUNG HEROES
Southern Marylanders You Should Know
By David Spigler
Contributing Writer
On May 15, 2016, we will observe
Peace Officers Memorial Day and
commence the annual celebration of
National Police Week to pay tribute to
the local, state, and Federal peace officers who have died in the line of duty.
This holiday was created on October
1, 1961 when the US Congress asked
President John F. Kennedy to designate
this date to honor all of our fallen police. A year later, the President signed
this Bill into law to pay tribute to the
law enforcement officers who have made the ultimate sacrifice
for our country and to voice our appreciation for all those who
currently serve on the front lines of the battle against crime
I am privileged to count many former and current members
of our Calvert, St. Marys and Charles County Sheriffs Offices, the Maryland State Police, US Capitol Police, and our Department of Natural Police among my friends here in Southern
Maryland. They are all exceptional individuals, thoroughly
dedicated to their profession, and extremely motivated to serve
our citizens while preserving the peace. The great thing about
these unsung heroes that I admire the most is knowing when
they take their uniforms off, they are just good, wholesome
people just like you and I. They love to have fun and they
exude a great deal of friendliness that belies their seriousness
for their profession.
In all of my life, I dont know of a time when a Police Officer
has had more of a challenge and is faced with more pressure
and scrutiny in order to perform his or her job to the expectation of others. I believe a good cop has unfairly come under
the gun to prove himself or herself to various factions and
media types who have no real appreciation for the service our
police provide our citizens on a daily basis. I know personally of the lack of credit provided these dedicated professionals
whose efforts go above and beyond the call of duty, yet are so
often taken for granted.
I am especially taken back by the recent surge in the loss
of life of so many of our fine officers within our nearby area;
the loss of the Montgomery County Police Officer killed during a routine traffic stop by a drunk driver, the horrific loss of
a lady cop and former Marine in Prince William County on
her first day on duty, the unfortunate loss of a Prince Georges
County undercover cop by friendly fire, and the recent unprovoked shooting of a Virginia State Trooper at the Richmond
bus terminal are just a very few of the sad tragedies that have
given me pause and cause me to wonder where do we find
these wonderful heroes willing to put their lives on the line for
us, day in and day out.
To better understand what is there about this often thankless occupation that makes a man or woman aspire to be a police officer, I sought out the thoughts of several of my police
friends as to why they chose law enforcement for their lifes
work? Let me take a few moments to share with you their responsesour County Sheriff Mike Evans is the son of the former Deputy Superintendent of the Maryland State Police and
was the biggest influence for his decision to become a trooper
himself following a stint in the Army. Sheriff Tim Cameron
in Saint Marys County wanted to get involved with helping
people and police work provided numerous ways for him to
serve the citizens every day. Calvert Assistant Sheriff, Major
Dave McDowell, also is the son of a police officer and was
inspired by seeing his dad go to work in his uniform every
day. He was impressed by the respect he gave and received
from everyone and watched the pride he exuded whenever
he stated he was a Prince Georges Police Officer. My friend,
Lt, David Payne with the Calvert County Sheriffs Office and
former County Mardi Gras King, decided to become a police
officer while on active duty as a United States Marine. The
Corps instilled in David the traits of Dependability, Integrity,
Dedication, Initiative, Bearing, Unselfishness, Courage, and
Loyalty. He wanted to use these traits in a career once he left
the military. Law enforcement allowed him the best opportunity to apply this knowledge. Lieutenant Rosemary King
Chappell, a Maryland State Trooper, also grew up in a law
enforcement family and liked the idea of helping others while
trying to make a difference. She enjoyed working with a team
and the brotherhood it brings. She chose the State Police
because of their reputation and professionalism they always
displayed! I am with you Lieutenant!
Further, Deputy David Gatton always knew he wanted to
be a police officer, and after many twists and turns he finally
made his way back to becoming a career officer. Looking

back, his only wish is that he would have started much earlier
in life pursuing his dream. Another friend, Lt. Shawn Garren,
a member of the Maryland Natural Resources Police grew up
in New York and at a very young age wanted to be a Game
Warden due to his love of nature and his passion for fishing,
hiking, boating, and biking. Upon moving to Maryland with
his parents, he learned this agency provides so much more in
the way of challenges than the position of a Game Warden.
He has loved every minute of his work during a 28 year career. Sam Hooper, the husband of one of my co-workers and
a retired Prince Georges County Police Officer now working
for the Charles County Sheriffs Officer, was motivated to become a Police Officer because he knew he wanted to make
a difference for people and families in the community who
could not defend themselves from criminals who prey on
them. Well said, sir! By the way, Sam was born on May 15th,
the day created to nationally recognize police officers. He
cannot imagine any better way to spending his birthday every
year in any other way then to honor those men and woman that
made the ultimate sacrifice, Each year he and his family visit
the Police Memorial in DC to honor these fallen heroes on his
birthday!
You may not know, but two of our five current Calvert
County Commissioners are retired career police officers. Former President of the BOCC, Commissioner Pat Nutter remembers as a young lad on an outing with his mother spotting a
tall, sharp, neatly uniformed State Trooper with shiny brass
and shoes. At that early age, he thought he was looking at
the real Superman! This impression led to Pat completing a
30 year career in law enforcement. And Commissioner Tom
Hejl, former Assistant Calvert County Sheriff, had a similar
experience as a youngster when he and his dad went into a
restaurant in Baltimore. Sitting at the counter in an impressive
looking uniform sat a big, very erect State Trooper. Tom told
his dad right then and there he was going to be a State Trooper.
And as he grew up, he stuck by his guns and made it happen.
In fact he had an illustrious 25 year career with the State Police
followed by a second career as a Calvert County Deputy.
I wanted to know more about this work, so I asked each
of my friends to tell me something about their profession that
brought them their greatest joy or fondest memory. I knew
it had to be more than just the respect the uniform provided
them. Sheriff Evans was proudest of his record of removing over 800 drunk drivers from the roadways, worked hard
to solve cases, and treated everyone with respect, even the
suspects who were uncooperative. He always used the least
amount of force possible and felt the most rewarded when he
was able to arrest a suspect without any innocent people becoming hurt in the process.
Sheriff Cameron has literally hundreds of great memories
during his time in law enforcement, but it is the Shop With
A Cop program each Christmas that stands out the most. He
thinks its a great way to get out in the public and interface with
young people at an early age to establish relationships that will
last a lifetime. He thinks it is an excellent means to make an
impression and provides him with a great deal of satisfaction.
Major McDowell felt there were many great feelings of accomplishment during his long career, but at the top of his list is
the day he was sworn in as the Assistant Sheriff and have his
son watch as his father pinned on his badge was an especially
unique moment he will never forget. Further he feels his
many years as a child abuse investigator gave him his greatest
sense of achievement.
Lieutenant David Payne also had so many good memories
from his many years in law enforcement, but the ones he considers his best are those that come back when he sees folks
he previously helped or arrested and they thank him. These
memories convinces David he did make a difference, often
times bigger than he would ever thought possible.
Deputy David Gattons fondest memories involve his work
with the youth of the community who he often comes into contact with. He enjoys standing around talking with them, and
laughing and carrying on in a friendly atmosphere. He feels
it good when they can see law enforcement as the good guy,
not the one who causes bad news when he shows up. He has
great conversations with them and hopes this leaves a good
impression. He hopes he has been able to steer them down the
right path. And if just one young person with whom he has
come into contact avoids drugs or crime, he says his whole
career was well worth it!
Lieutenant Chappell remembers working for the Calvert
Investigative Team [CIT] investigating a homicide. With two
other members of the Team, they tracked the suspect to North
Carolina and located him and got a full confession. The law
enforcement officials in North Carolina were amazed at the
Teams tenacity, stating they found one illegal from a group
of 200,000 was like finding a needle in a haystack!
Lieutenant Garren says there is no one memory that stands
out, but looking back over the 28 years of service, it is the feeling of accomplishment and satisfaction it gives him. When
you do your job day in day out, you dont always realize the
difference you may have made. But when you look at your
entire career you can see there are less drunken boaters on
our waterways, and less confrontation with hunters and others involving conservation cases. He states success is not
measured in the number of tickets or warnings one issues, but
really is determined by the number of people you have reached
and changed their minds on why conservation and public safety is so important.
Deputy Sam Hooper sees his great joy as the ability to give
back to our next generation of officers. Currently, as a member
of his Departments Field Training Officers Program [FTOP],
he truly enjoys sharing his experiences and training with their
newest officers. More importantly, he feels it a privilege to
share in their career experiences and their journey.
Commissioner Pat Nutters fondest memory of his time as
a law enforcement officer was earning the reputation of being known as Andy the sheriff on the Andy Griffith Show
and later on Mayberry RFD. He remembers taking calls in
the middle of the night or folks coming to his door at 2:00 and
3:00 AM seeking help with their family or domestic issues and
having the patience and understanding to listen to their problems and offer what assistance he could provide. He always
felt close to his community and derived great joy in removing
his gun belt to play football with the kids! He say he has been
doing this long before it became fashionable in social media
venues such as Facebook.
Commissioner Tom Hejl recalls handling a domestic violence case long before these incidents became newsworthy. He
handled the case by the book as he was taught. Years later the
victims sister approached him and thanked him profusely for
saving her sister and treating her with such kindness. In another case he was working a string of burglaries in the County and
ultimately identified two suspects. In writing search warrants
for these two residents, the criminal investigation team went in
and recovered over $100,000 worth of stolen property most of
which was returned to the rightful owners. Finally he derived
great satisfaction in knowing he assisted so many people in a
positive way during his career. He is often thanked for doing
things he cant even remember. He knows he has saved several
lives along the way. Yet his greatest satisfaction comes from
knowing he remained true to his values and those values the
State Police instilled in him during his training and throughout
his 25 year career. He continues to live by that creed today.
Having received these inputs from these fine gentleman
and lady, I am even more impressed that these folks are just
normal, dedicated people who are down to earth, yet passionate in their desires to help others and make a difference. And
each officer is special in finding the where with all and the
reasons to go to work each day. Many of the people I know
well who have been friends of mine for a long time tell me they
could never do what these folks have done. I put myself in this
same group. There is no way I can see myself going out into
this world every day with the current and potential issues our
nation is facing.
I intended to include in this story some of the downsides
my police friends have endured. Many of these great individuals are uncomfortable thinking about the bad days, much less
writing about them. I knew this part of the story might be
difficult, and my attempts were to make this a positive tribute
to these heroes. So out of respect to these friends, I will forego
this side of the story. Suffice to say, one only has to watch the
current crop of television crime shows and police stories to
realize there are moments in every cops life that would scare
most of us away from ever wanting to pursue this line of work.
This knowledge makes me even more aware and appreciative
of the dangers a police officer faces on a regular basis. It is so
unbelievable that there are people willing to accept the negative aspects of this work knowing they will face these burdens
daily over a 20 year, 30 year, or longer career. Where do we
find these magnificent people???
I truly want to thank my special contributors to this story;
Sheriff Mike Evans, Sheriff Tim Cameron, Assistant Sheriff
David McDowell, Lieutenant David Payne, Deputy David
Gatton, Lieutenant Rosemary Chappell, Lieutenant Shawn
Garren, Deputy Sam Hooper and Commissioners Nutter and
Hejl. Thank you for your responses, but most of all thank you
for the dedicated years of service you so professionally provided to all of our citizens! Lastly, I wish to salute all the members
of law enforcement, not only here in Southern Maryland, but
throughout our great Nation for your great individual sacrifices. Thank you! And please be safe!

Calvert Announces Plans for New

Standalone Animal Shelter
By Crista Dockray
Staff Writer
On Tuesday, the Calvert County Board
of County Commissioners announced their
plans for a new animal shelter and adoption
facility. The shelter will be for Calvert only
and Calvert will be pulling out of the current tri-county animal shelter once the new
shelter comes online.
At the press conference, Slaughenhoupt
explained that it is well known that the existing animal shelter needs significant improvements. He said that after studying the
options with the current shelter, they have
concluded that the anticipated costs of the
potential tri-county animal shelter replacement along with additional staffing would
likely be about the same as taking a separate approach.
Another large factor is that the current
shelter is just too small to handle all of the
animals within the tri-county area.
There was one compelling reason why
we are taking this step, growth, said Calvert County Commissioner President Evan
Slaughenhoupt.
In the past, the tri-county population
was 85,000 people. Right now we have
90,000 people just in Calvert County alone,
so clearly weve outgrown that facility
said former county commissioner Linda
Kelley.
The new animal shelter in Calvert County was made possible by a public/private
partnership with Rick Bailey from Marrick
Properties.
What a wonderful, fabulous opportunity that has presented itself, said Slaughenhoupt. We have been pleased, honored,
and humbled to have an outstanding citizen
and a true gentleman of our county.
Bailey said he had heard about the issue
through George Stewart, a partner of Marrick Properties, who called him up sometime last fall with the idea. After presenting
the idea to the commissioners, the project
went forward.
Im honored and privileged to play a
part in this with our organization to help
the county, said Bailey.
Marrick Properties will be building the
property and the county will be leasing the
facility with the option to purchase in the
future.
Bailey said that they have already hired
a nationally known architect and engineers
that have a reputation for animal facilities
and that they have already done an initial
needs analysis assessment.
Its going to be a well thought out facility, its going to be a well constructed facility and we are just privileged to play a part
in it, said Bailey.
According to the County Administrator
Terry Shannon, the size of the shelter will
be anywhere from 8,000 to 14,000 square
feet and it will employ up to 10 full time
positions, including a volunteer coordinator and a manager.
Slaughenhoupt said that it has plans to
include a walking trail and a barn, which
means it will house not just household pets.
Calvert countys announcement of this
new shelter comes very early in the planning process so we really dont have a lot of
the operational details finalized, they are in
the works though, said Shannon.
She said she does know that the policy
of the shelter will be to save all healthy and
treatable animals, even when the shelter is
full. Shannon said only terminally ill animals or those considered dangerous to public safety will be euthanized and the shelter
staff will be required to work with veterinarians to make this determination.
Shannon also said the new facility will
house the Calvert

County Animal
Control Officers.
I am happy to
report today, with
the commissioners support, the
countys animal
control officers
will relocate their
a d m i n ist r at ive
operation to the
new facility. This
move will help
make our efforts
more
efficient
and will better
assist our citizens
by providing a
facility
closer
to home. This is
also great news
for the sheriffs
office as it frees
up much needed space at our Rick Bailey from Marrick Properties
headqu a r ters,
transition is as smooth as possible.
said Sheriff Mike Evans on the matter.
According to Randy Guy, Commissioner
The new property will be located on
a three-acre lot at 5055 Hallowing Point President in St. Marys County, Charles
Road in Prince Frederick. The cost of the County is looking to build their own shelter.
I think Charles County is going to go
facility will be determined along with the
further
north up and around La Plata and
cost of the lease for the county. Slaughenthats
just
too far for us to run back and
houpt said he suspects the cost of the lease
may be slightly higher than the $200,000 a forth, said Guy.
Consequently it may be more than likely
year the county currently spends for its part
that
all three counties will be going their
in the Tri-County Animal Shelter.
Slaughenhoupt said they anticipate that separate ways.
Weve already announced to people
this facility will become operational in calabout
the possibility of our own control
endar year 2018 and when it opens, Calvert
center,
said Guy.

Commissioners Corner
Animal Shelter
On behalf of the entire

Calvert County Board of
County Commissioners, I
was honored to make an announcement Tuesday, May
17, 2016, that is a good news
item and denotes a change in
direction for Southern Maryland. Located near Hallowing Point Park on Route 231
will be a Public-Private-Volunteer Partnership that will
yield a new Animal Shelter
and Adoption facility for
Calvert County.
We anticipate this facility
will become operational in
calendar year 2018, will be
managed by Calvert County
with much participation by
various volunteers. During our internal discussions, we concluded the anticipated costs of continuing in potential replacement
of the Tri-County Shelter and needed additional staffing would
likely to be about the same amount as taking a separate approach.
Im sure there are several questions to answer, and most answers may be to be decided or we are working on it but
dont take the lack of very detailed responses diminish the overall direction. Calvert County will phase out its participation in
what has been a very successful Tri-County Animal Shelter
arrangement.
Why now and why change from Tri-County to our own shelter? Growth. When the original shelter was opened southern
Maryland was a very rural, sparsely populated area. Since then,
the human population increased, but more so has the number of
pets and other animals. The status of the Tri-County Shelter was
being evaluated and that prompted us to look at all options. What
I will describe is a fabulous opportunity.
Our announcement occurs while we are finalizing our FY-17
budget. Nothing mentioned affects that budget, but will have an
impact upon the subsequent budget years.
Many more details will be forthcoming. Stay tuned.

Sheriffs NEWS
The Sheriffs Office is off to a great start in
2016. Our newest deputies who graduated from the
academy in late 2015 are proving to be outstanding
members of the agency. Their energy and fresh perspective are equating to a positive impact on serving the community. In February, we honored our top
performers at the annual Calvert County Sheriffs
Office and Detention Center Awards Ceremony.
Sheriff Evans recognized a combined total of ninety-seven sworn and civilian personnel, business
owners, and individual citizens for their outstanding
efforts and contributions to serving the citizens of
Calvert County.

In January, the Sheriffs Office welcomed
our newest four-legged crime fighter, Canine Arn,
a Belgian Malinois puppy. Arn is the first puppy
the Sheriffs Office has purchased. Prior to Arn,
canines were purchased as young adults with basic
training. Acquiring Arn as a puppy and training him
ourselves will result in a highly efficient canine at a
much lower cost to tax payers.

As we move into the spring and summer
months, we are looking forward to engaging our
youth at Camp Junior Sheriff. So far in 2016, 460
middle school students have successfully completed
the D.A.R.E. program. Also in the coming months,
we will be releasing several public safety videos
that educate the public on how to interact with law
enforcement.

Deputy 1st Class Jeffrey Denton who is
currently assigned to the Patrol Bureau is recognized as the Sheriffs Office Deputy of the Quarter.
Deputy Denton serves as a Field Training Officer
who mentors and trains newly graduated deputies
and is a member of the CCSO Special Operations
Team. During the first quarter, Deputy Denton was
one of the highest producers in the area of traffic
stops, DUI arrests, and Criminal arrests and the
highest producer for illegal drug arrests.
The Sheriffs Office highest perform
ing squad for the first

quarter for 2016 is Squad
#3. Squad #3 isled by
Sergeant David Canning. Squad #3 has the fewest
number of personnel of any squad, yet still had the
highest daily productivity. The members of Squad
#3 are Corporals Carter and Wilson, Deputy First
Class Weems, Velasquez, Esposito, and Migliaccio;
Deputies Buck, Ward, Williamson, and Clark.

The Detention Center has launched several
exciting initiatives in 2016. Naloxone education for
inmates has commenced with four certified inmates
being released thus far with the intranasal spray,
prescription and training necessary to potentially
save lives in the community. The Health Department has trained and certified 29 people through the
Detention Center this year.

The Detention Centers Jailhouse Rockers have already started their Relay for Life campaign this year with a staff breakfast and Wine and
Design fundraisers. The Jailhouse Rockers are
poised to make another successful attack on Cancer this year and efforts will continue to ramp up as
spring approaches.

Supervisors nominated ten outstanding
officers for Officer of the First Quarter of 2016. The
selection process was difficult and the close competition forced a tied vote resulting in our first co-recognition of this award. We are proud to announce
CFC Caroline Briscoe and CO1 Danny Switzer as
Officers of the First Quarter of 2016. Our entire staff
delivers excellent service to the community and our
agency and we are honored to recognize these two
top performers. The Team of the Quarter is Team
4 consisting of: Sgt. Scott, Cpl. Commodore, CFC
Roberts and Cook, C.O.1 Strain, Hamilton, Hernandez, Ashley, Brooks, and Zalusky. Team 4 is
being recognized for their excellent performance
statistics.
When you spend local, youre helping

to support families in our community!

Missionary Family of Eight Moves to Make a Difference
By Crista Dockray
Staff Writer
Photos provided by Jeff Weimert
A family of eight is picking up their home
in Southern Maryland and moving it to a
different continent. Husband and wife Jeff
and Emily Weimert with their six children
Taunie, 13, Byron, 12, Josiah, 12, Selah, 10,
Trinity, 9, and Avigail, 5, will be moving to
the Philippines as missionaries.
The love Jeff and Emily have for the Philippines started when they went for a missionary trip in 2002 and got engaged.
The Philippines just never left our hearts,
we always had that longing to go back, said
Emily.
But when they started a family and life
kept going, they pushed off the idea and, besides short terms trips to the country, they
let their time in the Philippines be something
of the past.
A year and a half ago, however, things
changed. They heard about aquaponics, a
self-sustaining way of growing food, from
Jeffs brother.
The aquaponic system starts with fish.
The fish grow and fertilize the water and
in turn the fertilized water goes up to the
plants, which draw the nutrients and grow
without using dirt.
Its highly efficient and it can grow a ton
of food, said Jeff.
According to Jeff, an aquaponic system is
completely self-sustaining, uses 90 percent
less water than a normal garden, runs off of
solar power, and is zero cost to the people
once its built. It is built with local materials and takes about two weeks to build and
eight to twelve months to become fully
established.
The system that Jeff helped to build in
the Philippines holds about 200 fish when it
fully matured and it produces enough food
to feed between 30 and 50 children a day.
This is actually a smaller system. One of the
larger systems, located in Honduras, is actually a 10,000-gallon system that holds thousands of fish and provides food and income
to an orphanage.
After learning about all the good it could
do, the Weimerts decided to move to the
Philippines permanently through their mis-
sion organization Go To Nations.

We decided that missions have always
been in our heart as a family, so we want
to go and serve, said Jeff. If you have the
ability to help people, you should.
They actually built a two tank aquaponic
system of their own in their home. It holds 50
tilapia and grows tomatoes, beans, onions,
and lettuce.
We made it so we could learn and make
our mistakes early, said Jeff.
Once they move over, the family will be
living in Iloilo, a city in the central western
Philippines. Their focus will be on three different areas within their community. The
first will be building and teaching the locals how to build aquaponic systems. They
will be putting the systems in the hands of
schools, churches, and organizations to help
break the cycle of poverty. They will also be
traveling to other parts of Southeast Asia to
do the same.
The second area they will be working in is
the Sunshine Center, which tutors children
that couldnt afford or have dropped out of
school. The center also does feeding programs, ministry, and just provides a place
for kids to be kids.
The last place of their focus will be a
dump community, a place where people live
in heaps of trash and pick through it everyday just to get enough things to sell in order
to make money to eat for that day.
The whole family is very excited about the
endeavor.
I really want to help the little children,
the orphans, because I was adopted. I want
to show the children a family and what love
feels like, I just want to let them know that
God loves them even in their circumstances, said Taunie.
I am really looking forward to it. Sometimes I just lay in my bed and I wish I was
there already, said Salah.
I just want to go, I dont wait to wait anymore, said Trinity.
Before the family arrives to the Philippines, they will be attending two-week aquaponic training in Florida in August then in
September they will be leaving for Thailand
to go to missionary training for 10.5 weeks.
Come November, they will arrive in the
Philippines.
So far they have had numerous amounts
of individuals and organizations backing

them with support in prayer, spreading
the word, and helping financially. Their
goal is to have 150 people and 10 to 12
churches backing them, and according to
Emily, they are halfway there.
If you have any questions about aquaponics or their mission, email Jeff at jeff.
weimert@gotonations.org or find them
on Facebook at Cultivating A Harvest.
