Comptroller
Misallocated
$12.7 Million
in Tax Money
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
An audit commissioned by Comptroller

Peter Franchot of his offices own operations regarding the collection of income tax
revenue showed that across the state his office gave too much back to some municipalities and not enough to others, according
to a report from the Maryland Municipal
League (MML), to the tune of nearly $13
million.
Jim Peck, a spokesman for MML, said
that the audit revealed that the state gave
too much tax revenue back to the Town of
North Beach and too little to its neighbor,
the Town of Chesapeake Beach.
For those who were under-allocated
theyre going to get a check from the comptroller pretty fast, Peck said. For those
that got too much they will have a lengthy
period to pay it back.
The comptrollers office is allowing municipalities that got too much income tax
revenue from the state to wait up to seven
years before beginning to remit their payments and even then they will still have
an additional 10 years in which to pay the
money in full, Peck told The Calvert County Times.
According to a municipal bulletin from
MML, the comptrollers office had admitted to errors when it came to distributing
income tax revenues, which prompted
Franchot to have an outside audit conducted
regarding disbursements to Montgomery
County and its municipalities.
The audit found that the office had mistakenly paid out $8.6 million to Montgomery County alone; a second statewide audit found that the comptrollers office had
misdirected an additional $12.7 million
throughout the state from 2010 to 2014.
In a prepared statement, Franchot said
that the amount misallocated was relatively
small but the mistake had to be corrected
immediately.
While I believe that a 99.9 percent accuracy rate affirms the hard work of the men
and women who work with me every day, it
doesnt meet the high standards we set for
ourselves, Franchot said of the error.
The MML also signaled in their bulletin,
dated November 28, that there could be leg-
islation introduced in the upcoming state

government session in Annapolis to forgive
balances owed by some towns or cities.
If there is legislation introduced you
can be assured that MML will vigorously
support that legislation come January, the
bulletin read.
Joanne Hunt, treasurer for North Beach,
said over a four-year period they were overpaid by $140,141 or about $35,000 each
year.
There was no previous indication at all,
Hunt told The Calvert County Times. We
werent even aware of any overpayments
until they notified us.
Hunt explained that the state comptroller office was the one who directly assessed
and collected income tax from town residents; the town government did not have
such data.
The realization that the town would have
to eventually pay back the money came as a
surprise, Hunt said.
It is a big shock, she said. But we have
a long time to pay it back, interest-free.
Thats because it was their error, not
ours.
The annual operating budget for North
Beach is $2.75 million.
Laurie Smith, town treasurer for Chesapeake Beach, said she could not divulge
how much money the town was underpaid
without authorization from Mayor Bruce
Wahl.
Peter Hamm, spokesman for Franchots
office, said that Calvert County government will also owe money back to the state,
as will neighboring St. Marys County.
In St. Marys, the Town of Leonardtown
should soon be receiving a check because
they were underpaid, Hamm said.
Hamm said state law prohibited the
comptrollers office from divulging
amounts of disbursement to or payments
from counties, but jurisdictions could release the information on taxpayer funds.

Staff Writer
After years of deliberation in a committee made up of citizens, including business
owners, Calvert County commissioners
were introduced to proposed new regulations governing all kinds of signage in the
county.
Mark Willis, head of the Department of
Community Planning and Building, said he
believed his staff and the ad hoc committee
had successfully fulfilled their task.
Its been a long evolution, Willis said.
But I think we got it right.
Jenny Plummer-Welker, a long-range
planner with the department, said that the
newly promulgated draft regulations now
conformed to a Supreme Court ruling that
mandated local governments could not restrict the content of signs on free speech
grounds.
The court ruled that signs should not
be regulated based on content, PlummerWelker said, adding that the countys current regulations had just such restrictions.
Were [now] regulating size, placement,
materials and whether they are permanent
or temporary.
However, several commissioners took
issue with the proposal that electronic signage only be allowed in certain areas of the
county.
The draft regulations would only allow
electronic signs in the light industrial zone
and five out of seven of the designated town
centers.
Electronic signs would be prohibited in
Dunkirk and Solomons town centers, while
they would be permitted in Lusby, Huntingtown, Owings, Prince Frederick and
St. Leonard.
Plummer-Welker told commissioners,

though, that citizens and business groups
had already voiced opposition to such signs
in Solomons, Dunkirk and Huntingtown.
This is going to be a touchy subject,
said Commissioner Mike Hart. As a business owner I dont want anybody telling me
what to do with my sign.
Hart said it was unfair to restrict electronic signs to only most of the town centers and could restrict business owners in
the remaining centers from matching competitors advertising.
County Attorney John Norris said commissioners had the express authority to
regulate the type of signs countywide.
Thats part of the legislative authority
of the Board of County Commissioners,
Norris said. You may choose to have different standards for different areas.
Commissioner Tom Hejl agreed with
Hart.
I dont have the right to tell you what
[sign] you can and cant have, Hejl said.
Some commissioners also questioned the
proposal to limit the amount of signage that
businesses could have in their windows to
50 percent, citing the idea that property
owners should have freedom over their
own businesses.
Planners said the record would still remain open for comments on the proposed
regulations; commissioners have yet to
make a decision on the regulatory proposal.

The Calvert County Department of

Public Safety, Division of Emergency

Community
Planning and Building are hosting a public forum to discuss the countys hazard
and flood mitigation plans Monday, Nov.
28.
Staff will detail current plans and open
the forum for public comment and questions at
the Harriet E. Brown Community Center
at 901 Dares Beach Road in Prince Frederick from 6:30-8:30 p.m.
The goal of the flood mitigation plan is to
reduce or eliminate long-term risks to peo-
ple and property from the effects of natural

hazards such as tornadoes, floods, hurricanes, severe storms, droughts, landslides
and other events. Calvert Countys Hazard Mitigation Plan identifies and assesses
potential natural hazards and man-made
events, evaluates local mitigation measures
that should be undertaken, including public
outreach before and during major events,
and outlines procedures for monitoring the
implementation of mitigation strategies.

Recreational Oyster
Season Continues
in Maryland
Therecreational oyster harvest seasonis

now underway and Maryland residents can
harvest up to one bushel of oysters a day
each day now through March 31, 2017.
The Chesapeake Bay is a treasuretrove
of riches, accessible to all, said Fishing
and Boating Services Director David Blazer. Through recreational harvesting one
can gain important insight into one of the
bays most iconic species, the oyster, and
experience how and where oysters live and
their economic and ecologic importance.
Recreational oystering doesnt require a
state license or permit as long as the harvested oysters are for personal (noncommercial) use and meet the minimum size
requirement of 3 inchesfrom hinge to
bill. The oysters must be culled on the bar
where they were caught and all undersized
oysters and shell material must be returned
to the bar.
Recreational harvest may occur on the

following days/times bydiving, hand, rake
or shaft tong:
MondayFriday: Sunrise through 3 p.m.
Saturday: Sunrise through noon
For the health and safety as well as for
the protection of Marylands oysters, recreational oystering should only be done in
approved and open shellfish areas and cannot take place within leased aquaculture,
harvest reserve or sanctuary areas.
The Maryland Department of Environment is responsible for regulating shellfish
harvesting areas and classifies approved,
conditional or restricted areas. For more
information, please visit the departmentswebsiteor call 800-541-1210.

Nicks of Calvert, a Prince Frederick,

Md. establishment, is recalling approximately 305 pounds of ready to eat (RTE)
meatball products due to misbranding and
undeclared allergens, the U.S. Department
of Agricultures Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today. More
specifically, required information on where
the product was produced or repackaged is
absent from the labeling and the product
contains eggs and milk, known allergens
which are not declared on the product label.
The following products are subject
torecall:
5-lb. clear plastic packages containing NICKS Fully Cooked Italian
Style Meatballs.
The product subject to recall does not
bear a USDA mark of inspection; this is
not required for product sold at retail that
is labeled under the retail exemption. Other
typical identification markings, including
best before or use by dates or processing
or repackaging dates are also absent from
the product labels. The product was sold in
retail locations in Maryland.
The problem was discovered when
Nicks of Calvert returned product to the
official FSIS establishment that produced
and originally packaged and labeled the
product, where it was presented for reinspection. FSIS personnel observed that the
products no longer contained the original
label applied by the official FSIS establishment and that the new ingredient statement
failed to declare the presence of milk and
eggs.
There have been no confirmed reports
of adverse reactions due to consumption of
these products. Anyone concerned about
a reaction should contact a healthcare
provider.
Consumers who have purchased these
products are urged not to consume them.
These products should be thrown away or
returned to the place of purchase.
FSIS routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks to verify recalling firms notify
their customers of the recall and that steps
are taken to make certain that the product
is no longer available to consumers. When
available, the retail distribution list(s) will
be posted on the FSIS website at www.fsis.

Aviation Unit Returns to the

Department of Natural Resources
Natural 1 to Complement Conservation
and Enforcement Efforts
With deer hunting season and oyster
harvesting reaching their peaks, the Maryland Department of Natural Resources has
added a new conservation enforcement tool
to its fleet: its own helicopter.
The black-and-gold aircraft, Natural 1,
has resumed its place after a seven-year absence on the departments roster.
The helicopter will be used as a surveillance platform to assist Natural Resources
Police officers as they patrol 17,000 miles
of waterways and nearly a half-million
acres of public lands.
The police aviation unit, founded nearly
70 years ago, was eliminated by the previous administration in 2009. The helicopter
was then transferred to the Harford County
Sheriffs Office and painted deep blue.
About a year ago, the 1972 Bell Jet Ranger became available and Natural Resources
Secretary Mark Belton became determined
to bring it back home. His effort to restore the departments aviation capability
received the strong support of Governor
Larry Hogan.
Once we heard that the helicopter was
available, we jumped at the opportunity to
bring it back to the department to aid our
conservation and enforcement activities,
said Natural Resources Secretary Mark
Belton. Natural 1 will assist our officers
patrolling our public lands and waters ensuring the safety of our guests and visitors
as well as the protection of our most precious natural resources.
After a year of refurbishing, the helicopter returned to service last week with one of
its original pilots at the controls to carry out
oyster enforcement patrols as well as aid in
the search for two missing people.

Crime
Calvert Man Sentenced

To Federal Prison On
Weapons Charges
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
A Huntingtown man, who is also a convicted felon, was sentenced to almost two
years in federal prison last week for illegally possessing several firearms and types
of ammunition.
Curtis Portland Litten, 54, was the subject of an investigation by federal authorities because he had posted threatening
cards and letters to President Obama and
members of the U.S. Congress as well as
their family members, federal authorities
stated; this resulted in a warrant search of
Littens home where authorities found various pistols, shotguns and ammunition for
those weapons.
Litten had pleaded guilty to the charges
against him Sept. 1 but had been held by
federal authorities since Apr. 22.
According to Littens plea deal with federal prosecutors he had mailed the threat-
ening notes from January through March

of this year; a finger print analysis of the
cards and letters allowed authorities to
identify Litten as the sender.
When authorities raided his home they
found other cards addressed to elected
leaders as well as print outs of their addresses, authorities said.
These had even been signed by Litten,
authorities stated.
Litten had been convicted of several
other offenses in Calvert County before
this incident, including harrassment and attempted assault.
Litten had even been accused of theft
and theft of copies of the Calvert County
Times newspaper back in 2010.

On November 22, 2016, Deputy B. Boerum and other units were called to Planters
Wharf Road, in Lusby, for the report of two
(2) male subjects breaking into vehicles.
Upon arrival to the area, Deputies spread
out in an attempt to locate the suspects.
While Deputy Naughton approached two
(2) vehicles he observed parked on Stern
Street with their interior lights on, he noticed a black male going through the center
console area. When the male, later identified as Keith Mackall, 24, of Lusby, ob-
Crime
served Deputy Naughton approaching, he

ignored commands to stop and exited the
vehicle and started to run away. A short
foot chase ensued before Mackall was
taken into custody. He was found to be in
possession of a backpack with several wallets, ID Cards, lottery tickets, electronics,
money and social security cards. Deputy
Boerum secured Mackall in his Patrol vehicle. As the other Sheriff units returned to
Stern Street, they observed a second black
male, Nicholas Kelson, 22, also of Lusby,
hiding in a second vehicle. Kelson was
found to be in possession of a plastic baggie containing loose change. Mackall was
charged with Rogue and Vagabond, Resist/Interfere with Arrest, Theft - Scheme
Less $1,000.00, Theft Less Than $100.00,
Malicious Destruction of Property/Less
$1,000.00 and CDS: Possession of Paraphernalia. Kelson was charged with Theft
Less than $100.00, Rogue and Vagabond
and Malicious Destruction of Property/
Less $1,000.00.
On November 22, 2016, Deputy R.
Spalding was dispatched to Bayside Toyota, located in Prince Frederick, for the
report of a theft. The Manager advised
two (2) dealer license plates were missing
from the dealership - one had been missing around 30 days, the other for 3 days.
Their employees have access to the tags for
customer test drives; therefore, because the
tags would normally have been returned by
now, he is convinced they have been stolen.

On November 22, 2016, Deputy V.
ODonnell responded to Platte Road, in
Lusby, for the report of a theft. The victim
stated a 110lb propane tank (full of gas) was
stolen from the side of his house. The last
time he remembered seeing the propane
tank was on November 15th. The tank is
approximately five feet tall and has a Taylor
Gas sticker along the side.
5:15am, Deputy W. Durner responded to
Sycamore Road, in Lusby, for the report of
a theft from vehicle. The victim advised
that he discovered someone had been in his
car overnight when he found a passenger
door and center console left open and the
following items missing: 2 wallets, social
security card, debit card and a military base
ID card.

Commissioners, School Board Discuss

Negotiations, Employee Benefits
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
Costs of other post employment benefits (OPEB) mainly health care costs
for retired county and school system employees have gone down, county finance
director Tim Hayden told a joint meeting of
commissioners and school board members
Tuesday afternoon.
The unfunded liability estimated by actuaries for fiscal years 2014 and 2015 was
$241.3 million, Hayden reported, but that
estimate has dropped to $225 million for
fiscal years 2015 and 2016.
The estimated annual required contribution by the county to the OPEB fund
also decreased from $31.5 million to $28.2
million.
Annual payouts, though, are set to increase from $6.2 million to $6.6 million,
according to Haydens report.
Its actually good news for a change,
Hayden said, adding that he believed the
decreases were because future medical
costs are decreasing.
Hayden said the county still had a lot of
liability facing it.
Its still a lot of money, but its moving
in the right direction, he said.
The discussion turned to how the board
of education conducts its salary negotiations with teachers, administrators and
staff; board member said that they knew
that the agreement they just came to was
concerning because it attempted to fund
step increases that have gone unfulfilled

even though the money might not be there.
Were in a very competitive environment to get teachers, said board member
Tracy McGuire. I know theres some concern over the contract we just signed.
Board member Kelly McConkey agreed.
Wed like to get the back step increases, McConkey said. If we dont, were going to lose more of them [teachers].
We lost a lot of them this year.
Commissioner President Evan Slaughenhoupt asked how the board could negotiate
with the bargaining units without knowing
just how much the commissioners would
be able to actually fund for salaries and
benefits.
How can you do that and call it good
faith? Slaughenhoupt asked. Its a flawed
set up.
Schools Superintendent Dan Curry said
the system was, despite any flaws, a reality.
Its the Maryland way, Curry said.
Near the end of the meeting Slaughenhoupt warned that money for more teacher
step increases might not be there this budget cycle.
Its not going to be a robust budget being made for [fiscal] 2018, he said.

Handling the Moment
Bob Dylan came to me in a dream. We

were seated at an ornate iron table, just the
two of us, under a trellis in an outdoor garden. Despite the serene setting, I was nervous, but maintained a calm faade. My
mind was racing (Bob Freaking Dylan!!!).
Be cool, I thought. Dont disintegrate into
fan-boy mode. Act like you belong. Act
like this is just another afternoon with
greatness. Act like youre not flirting with
incontinence.
My rational brain was confident that I
could handle this extraordinary moment.
Im no expert, but I know music pretty well
and Im respectably conversant in Dylanspeak. It helped that my dream delivered
a 40-something version of the legend a
peer; the brilliant, young and enigmatic
Dylan at his creative zenith or the current
grandfatherly Dylan, fresh off receiving
the Nobel Prize in Literature, would have
been far more intimidating. I had another
ally: The copious amounts of adult elixirs
we had consumed. The mental lubrication
arrested my anxiety and tempered the annoyance Dylan would have otherwise felt
toward his strange, unworthy acquaintance.
Dylan can be a tough conversation; he
communicates best with mere mortals
through music or written word. For some
reason, my unconscious mind had put me
one-on-one with him hilarious (not really). There wasnt even a background
band to critique or fill the inevitable pauses
in our conversation while I fished for engaging queries. Im my own worst enemy
apparently.
But I did okay. Dylan was polite and
captivating. He was unmistakably pleased
to be talking to me about his poetic music
and place in history. I know, I know
How can the life of such a man be in the
palm of some fools hand? Maybe I fooled
him by how good my head felt under my
leopard skin pill-box hat?
Had this crazy dream been reality, it
wouldnt have gone so well. The moment
would have proven too big. I would have
lost my poise and Dylans graciousness
would have run short. Departing Dylans
company with a signed Blonde on Blonde
record and dry pants if not my dignity would have constituted a victory.
I was reminded of my imaginary Dylan
encounter on Thanksgiving Day while
watching a much younger man flawlessly
handling a much bigger, more significant
and very real NFL moment.
This is going to hurt.
QB Dak Prescott, a fourth round selection of the Dallas Cowboys in the April
NFL Draft, is (unfortunately for rival
fans) re-writing the recent trajectory of the
franchise. After starter Tony Romo and
backup Kellen Moore were injured in the

preseason, Prescott, originally envisioned
as a third-string project, was thrust into a
starting role.
Panic initially swept through Cowboys
camp. A season seemed lost and a trade inevitable. Rumors swirled about Dallas acquiring embattled San Francisco QB Colin
Kaepernick. At the time, the reaction and
scuttlebutt were understandable: It was unfair to expect Prescott, despite a name right
out of central casting, to be the starting
quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys, one of
the most glamourous and scrutinized positions in professional sports.
The situation should have consumed the
young Prescott; it most certainly has not.
In 11 starts, Prescott has averaged 258
yards passing per game, completed 68% of
his passes, thrown 18 touchdowns and only
two interceptions, rushed for five scores
and notched 10 wins. Thats not human for
a rookie fourth round pick; its a Tom Brady
stat line.
No one saw this coming. Entering the
draft, Prescott wasnt considered NFLready. His NFL.com draft report was unflattering: slow reads, poor footwork and
inconsistent accuracy.
Prescotts ceiling in
2016 was said to be
limited to short-yardage packages.
Yeahhes been a
little better than that
- like, in-the-MVPconversation better.
From his first opportunity, Prescott has produced and calmed a
cataclysmic situation.
His poise has been
remarkable; his lack
of drama or need for
unnecessary attention
his professionalism
- has been refreshing;
his performance has
been amazing.
Prescott provides
an inspiring story
for anyone facing an
overwhelming challenge. Unfortunately,
because he plays for
the Cowboys, it isnt
a work of fiction, such
as a novel, a movie or
a dream.

Fishing Report
By Ken and Linda Lamb
Special To The Calvert County Times
The rockfish are schooled up in the

bay and rivers and feeding on change of
tides. Bay trollers and jiggers are finding
stripers in the 22 to 32 inch range feeding
on top drawing plenty of gulls seeking a
free meal. Gannets are also active marking bigger fish and putting on an air show
diving from high in the sky. The location
of big schools varies from day to day as
the fish chase the bait, but they are always
feeding somewhere and it is our job to find
them. There were gannets from buoy 72A
to buoy 70 showing where lots of hefty rock
were eager to hit trolled jigs and bucktails
on Thursday, Thanksgiving. Friday they
had moved north on a linefrom the PR
buoy to the Targets. Saturday was a blow
out. The winds lay down on Sunday and
the rockfish cooperated most everywhere.
There are still lots of fish from the
Gooses to the mouth of the Choptank that
are working their way south. Trollers and
Jiggers are finding 30 inch fish off the Gas
Docks and across the bay on the eastern
side at Buoy 76 to Hoopers Island Light,
and at the HS buoy.The area straight out
the mouth of the Patuxent from Cove Point
to the HI buoy is rich with fish.
There are consistent breakers from south
of buoy 70 to 65 and on down into Virginia,
but they are dominate in small, undersize

fish. That does not mean that keepers in
excess of 20 inches will not show up at
anytime. Pockets of big fish on struture
are being targeted by jiggers with excellent
results.
The Potomac and Patuxent have good
sized rockfish and plenty of them on the
oyster bars and edges. Persistent fishermen
are trolling them up everyday the wind is
calm enough. The Patuxent fish love the 8
Ball bucktails with black heads with both
white and yellow hair.
There have been a couple of ocean run
fish in the 40 to 50 pound class that we have
heard of. The big fish should be infiltrating our area along the division of Maryland
and Virginia waters at Smith Point anytime. Reports of Virginia netters finding
them south of the Rappahanock were received this week.
Bottom fishermen are gettng white perch
by the coolerfull in the Patuxent from
Broomes Island to Drum Point. The fish
are suspended in 40 to 50 feet of water on
the hard bottom. A couple of dozen bloodworms will produce a hundred fish culled
at 9 inches.
There are still plenty of big catfish in the
Potomac and Patuxent.

Christmas
Comes To Calvert County
By Dave Spigler
Feature Writer
The Christmas Season is finally upon

us and everywhere in Southern Maryland
the signs are apparent that we are in for
another commercial onslaught of outdoor
lights, Santa Clauses, the sounds of jingle
bells and seasonal music in the air, the
ubiquitous advertisements screaming huge
sales and more that take away from the
true meaning of this very special holiday.
So often we are so distracted by the rush
that is created to have everything just right
for Christmas morning that we forget to remember what is the reason for the season.
The real purpose for this greatest of holidays is often lost in the race to buy gifts
and fancy wrappings and have everything
underneath the Christmas tree in time to be
torn open.
Fortunately, there are local groups and

organizations who spend long hours in
preparing events that provide for a more
enjoyable means to better capture the spirit
of Christmas. In many ways, these celebrations conjure memories of the ways we
remember how Christmas used to be and
at a much slower pace. There are many
great happenings throughout the region to
enjoy. In Calvert County, we wish to feature four of the more popular longstanding
Christmas events that take place this coming weekend to put our citizens in the mood
and provide a respite from all the hub
bub. Take time to take in one or more of
these special joyous celebrations to prepare
for Christmas. They are guaranteed to put
you in the spirit.
Come enjoy the spirit of the holidays by

celebrating the 32nd Annual Christmas
Walk in our festive Chesapeake Bay village of Solomons on Thursday, December
1st through Saturday December 3rd, 2016.
Many great events designed for all ages
will take place this exciting weekend. It is
a fun filled time for the children with special activities planned for them that include
a live puppet show, a Lighted Boat Parade,
the arrival of Santa Claus, and more.
Enjoy a stroll through our luminaria lit
streets to experience the sights and sounds
of the season. Many Solomons homes and
businesses decorate for the holidays and
help transform the village into a winter
wonderland for the month of December.
The Solomons Business Association, the
organizers for this event, annually award a
prize to the best dressed residence and
business. Selection is based on the best
use of lights, general appearance, personal appeal, creativity, and for the
business owner, the best correlation to their business.
Everyone is invited to the
Christmas Walk Kickoff Party
at the Blue Heron Inn Thursday
evening at 6:30pm. There will be theme

toys on display. On Friday, there will be
a Christmas Craft Market from 2pm until 9pm in the park area next to Kingfishers Restaurant. And at 6:30pm,
watch for Santa Claus and his elves
as they arrive by firetruck to help
the children light the Christmas
Tree at the Solomons Riverwalk
Pavilion. Childrens activities
will be held throughout the day
on Friday and Saturday. Look
for face painting and crafting. At
7:30pm there will be a free Magic
Show at Our Lady Star of the Sea.
Finally, the annual Lighted Boat
Display will get underway on Saturday
at 6:15 weather permitting. Boats of many
sizes, shapes and colors will sail pass the
Patuxent waterfront and can be observed
from many restaurants and
establishments on Back
Creek or the Solomons
boardwalk. Prizes
will be awarded
for Best Original
Theme, Best Sailboat, Best Powerboat, and Best of
Show.
A map for the
Solomons
Christmas Walk is available
in this edition of the
Calvert County
Times and is

Calvert Shop With A Cop

This ever popular program grows larger with each Holiday Season. This event
was established in 2006 when the Calvert
Optimist Club partnered with members of
the Calvert Sherriffs Office and the local
Fraternal Order of Police [FOP] to give underprivileged children of Calvert County
a chance to experience a Christmas where
they are able to buy gifts for their families,
friends, and importantly themselves. This
program provides a positive environment
for the children and police officers to share in conversations, work together as a
team, and enjoy a meal
together as they wrap
gifts purchased for
others.
During the day of
the big event, each child
is given a thrilling ride
to and from the local business with a uniformed officer in his or her official vehicle
with lights flashing and sirens b l a z i n g .
They are given a
generous stipend
of as much
as $150 to
purchase
gifts with
only one
requireme ntthe child
must buy
at least one
gift for themselves.
It is
hoped each child
will have an experience
o f
a lifetime to share with family and friends
as they grow up. But, importantly, in addi-
tion to providing a
wonderful
Christmas
m e m o r y,
the opportunity
of
seeing a police officer as a
friend and a really good person will stay with each of
these kids for life. It is a great
opportunity to develop respect for
cops everywhere and may even
lead these children to seek a
career in law enforcement
when they complete their
education.
Funding for this program is provided by
donations from the Calvert Prince Frederick
Optimist Club, local
businesses, and private
individuals. Their collective generosity has allowed 70+ children to enjoy
the pleasures of giving and
come to know the true mean-
ing of Christmas. This years program will

be conducted on Saturday, December 3.
Everyone will be picked up at their home
and brought to Mama Lucias restaurant
in Prince Frederick for breakfast. Then
the children will ride in a police caravan
with their assigned officer to Kmart to
make their purchases assisted by members from the various Calvert County Optimist Clubs. They will next be taken to
the Prince Frederick Volunteer
Fire Department to wrap
their gifts and enjoying a meal catered
by Chick-Fil-A.
After this full
day of memorable experiences,
they will be
taken back
home by
their newest friends,
the members
of the Calvert
County Law
Enforcement.

We all love you and
miss you so much!
In times of sorrow, we shed bitter tears. Tender ties

arebroken:hearts are left alone and sad.
In Gods words there is great consolation, encouragement,
and hope. There is healing for broken hearts. Every perplexing
question concerning life, death, and the hereafter is fully
and lovingly answered. Why does our loving, all-powerful
God permit such heartaches to befall us? What lies beyond
thegrave? Will we ever see our loved ones again?

the other kitties. They are combo tested
for aids and feline leukemia, vaccinated
against rabies, spayed or neutered, had
3 distemper vaccines, dewormed and
microchipped. They cost $125 each.
