Calvert Home Fires
Displace Residents
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
Two dwelling res, less than a day
apart, are currently under investigation
in Calvert after they displaced one fam-
ily and left several tenants in an apartment
complex without a home.
The rst re occurred at Chesapeake
Manor Apartments in North Beach April
8 when an electrical re caught in the ceil-
ing of the living room of an apartment,
which caused about $1,000 in damage.
The smoke alarm did not activate, ac-
cording to state re marshal investigators.
The blaze brought out 46 reghters at
6:44 p.m. to combat it; the re took about
15 minutes to knockdown.
Just hours later, at about 4:58 a.m.,
reghters from the Huntingtown re
company arrived at Lake Ridge Drive
New Beach Elementary
May Stay Put
Co-located Library Part of Planning
By Dick Myers
Staff Writer
As planning proceeds for a new Beach
Elementary School, current thinking is
that the new school will be on the site of
the existing school. If that proves to be the
eventual decision, students at the exist-
ing school may have to be relocated while
construction is under way for the new
school, according to Supervisor of Con-
struction Shuchita Warner. We are going
to attempt to build on the same property,
she told the school board at their April 6
meeting.
Warner reported on the thinking com-
ing from the Education Specications
Committee meetings looking at the new
school. Warner said the emphasis on
sidewalks and smart growth in the Town
of Chesapeake Beach and especially
around the existing school site are leading
the committee to the conclusion to locate
at the existing school site, even though
there is money in the budget for a new site.
Included in the discussions is the idea of
co-locating a new library at the Beach El-
ementary School site. That could be either
in the same new building or in a separate
building, said Warner. School Superin-
tendent Dr. Daniel Curry told the school
board at the April 6 meeting that addition-
al state monies are available for coopera-
tive efforts between agencies. There is a
The Calvert County Times
in Sunderland to combat a single family
home blaze.
The re consumed the house, caus-
ing $240,000 in damage to the structure
and $10,000 in losses to the contents of
the home.
The re took 15 minutes to control,
state re marshals reported, and started in
the game room of the home.
The actual cause of the re, how-
ever, has not been determined, re
marshals reported.
The family and the tenants displaced
in the res received assistance from the
American Red Cross.
guyleonard@countytimes.net
lot of excitement coming from the Calvert
County library folks, Dr. Curry said of
the co-location idea.
The Twin Beaches area has been with-
out a library since the closing of a branch
in a small shopping center in Chesapeake
Beach. The town council has expressed
hope that Chesapeake Beach be the loca-
tion of a new library branch.
Warner reported that the committee
had visited Annapolis Elementary School
and has on their itinerary a visit to Duke
Elementary School in Leonardtown. Both
are in areas with heavy student foot traf-
c, she said.
Warner was out of the ofce and un-
available for comment about the potential
site restriction problems for the existing
property for a new school and a library.
The existing schools enrollment has been
running over capacity at about 650 and re-
cently some students were redistricted to
Windy Hill Elementary.
Warner said the Educational Specica-
tion Committee would be meeting with
Chesapeake Beach Mayor Pat Mahoney to
get the towns feelings on how the school
system should proceed with such an im-
portant piece of the towns infrastructure.

Rezoning Proposed Locust Inn: Is it Historic
for County-Owned or an Eyesore?
Land in Lusby
By Dick Myers
Staff Writer
The Calvert County Planning Commis-
sion and the Board of County Commis-
sioners (BOCC) will be considering a pro-
posed zoning amendment for a five-acre
tract of land in Lusby Town Center. The
land is currently owned by the county.
The land is adjacent to the Patuxent Ap-
peal Campus and was deemed surplus by
the Calvert County Board of Education.
The land was turned over to the county.
The property is currently zoned Institu-
tional District, in keeping with its origi-
nal purpose as a school site. According to
Deputy Director of Community Planning
and Building Mary Beth Cook, the pro-
posal is to rezone the property to Neigh-
borhood Commercial District, similar to
adjacent properties.
The five-acre property is to the south
side of the Patuxent Appeal Campus, but
Funding Formula Proposed
for County Public Schools
By Dike Myers
Staff Writer
The Calvert County Board of County
Commissioners (BOCC) has been present-
ed with a proposal to create a school fund-
ing formula to provide some consistency
in the future. The proposal was hammered
out by county staff led by County Admin-
istrator Terry Shannon and School Super-
intendent Dr. Daniel Curry.
The proposed funding formula will be
presented to the school board at their April
20th meeting. It was received warmly by
the BOCC, who will have to make a final
decision by April 25 in advance of the May
budget hearing.
The proposed formula impacts next
years school board funding request by
adding $791,000 to the proposed $119.8
million presented at the public hearing on
the BOCCs staff recommended budget.
That amount was $5.5 million more than
the state-required Maintenance of Effort
funding. It included $3 million to cover
the cost of a STEP increase granted school
employees during the current fiscal year
using school board budget surplus monies.
The county will be picking up that cost
next fiscal year.
With the additional school system fund-
ing, County Finance and Budget Direc-
tor Tim Hayden said the school board
should have enough monies to provide
the extra make-up STEP for school sys-
tem employees that is included in their
negotiatedagreement.
The proposed formula takes the prior
years per pupil appropriation, which is
The Calvert County Times
it does not front onto Route 765, according
to Cook. The address of the property is 25
Appeal Lane.
Cook noted that there are two reasons
in state law for approving a rezoning
mistake in the original zoning or change
in the character of the neighborhood. She
told the BOCC at their April 11 meeting
that the change in the neighborhood rea-
son would be used for the zoning change
proposal.
The BOCC agreed to direct staff to
schedule a work session on the proposal
with the planning commission and then
upon recommendation of the planning
commission there would be a joint com-
mission/BOCC public hearing.
dickmyers@countytimes.net
them multiplied by enrollment (although
there is no penalty for a decline), Consum-
er Price Index and an adjustment factor for
new initiatives. The agreement also calls
for a one-time additional appropriation to
the school system of $2 million in Fiscal
Year 2019. If the school systems budget
fund balance goes over $5 million the
overage would be applied to OPEB (Other
Post-EmploymentBenefits).
Monies for the additional school fund-
ing will likely cone from a reduction in
the OPED contribution for the school sys-
tem from the county. Part of the $25 mil-
lion additional PILOT (Payment in Lieu
of Taxes) from the Dominion project had
been earmarked forOPEB.
The commissioners also tentatively
agreed to fund an additional STEP for
county employees to make up for the fact
that no STEP was granted this year. Sev-
eral of the commissioners felt that would
only be fair considering the school em-
ployees received a STEP. Cost of the extra
STEP is $1 million.
The BOCC also spent several hours at
their April 11 meeting going over addi-
tional funding requests from departments
that total more than $5 million. Decisions
on those requests will have to be made
prior to the April 25 deadline.

It sits forlorn in the middle of
Solomons Island. A decidedly un-
historical Budweiser banner tout-
ing the upcoming Tike Bat open-
ing hangs in front with a satellite
dish mounted on its side. Yet his-
tory is what is in question for the
fate of Locust Inn as the county
commissioners must ultimately
decide whether to allow the build-
ings Historic District designation
to be removed, permitting the new
owners to demolish it for a new
restaurant.
The controversy is pitting the
countys Historic District Com-
mission and the Calvert County
Historical Society against one of
the countys most well-known
businesses, the Stoneys restaurant
empire.
The Calvert County Planning Commis-
sion held a special meeting on the con-
troversy on April 5. The purpose was to
decide whether to schedule a joint meeting
with the county commissioners. They did
just that and set the date as Tuesday, April
11, after press deadline.
The April 5 meeting turned into a mini-
public hearing with comments both pro
and con being presented in anticipation of
the full joint public hearing.
The controversy was set in motion by a
denial of a demolition request by Jeannie
Cousineaux-Stone of property owner PAR
Limited Partnership. Cousineaux-Stone
told the planners the company concluded
it was too costly to restore the building,
which was their original intent.
Cousineaux-Stone said her company
bought the building without being al-
lowed to inspect inside it by the previous
owner. We purchased the property sight
unseen. she said. When they finally were
able to get inside after closing they found
a mess The floors were falling in. She it would cost almost a million dollars to
added that the house had been a flop house
and a drug haven.
Jim Langley, who said the house had
been in his family for five generations and
that he had lived in it, supported the plans
to tear it down.
Thursday, April 13, 2017
This is not an historic property. I am
old but that does not make me historical,
Cousineaux-Stone said.
The house was built in 1886 and oper-
ated as a boarding house as early as 1906,
according to a report from the Depart-
ment of Community Planning and Build-
ing authored by Historic Preservation
Planner Kirsti Uumila. The building was
enlarged in 1910 and It is likely that the
Italianate styling of the faade was added
at that time according to the report. In
more recent years it was operated as a bed
andbreakfast.
According to the staff report: A num-
ber of inns were built in Calvert County
during the late nineteenth and early twen-
tieth centuries as tourists began to come
for recreation to the shores of the Chesa-
peake Bay and the rivers in increasing
numbers. The Locust Inn is the oldest
known surviving example in Solomons,
and rare survivor from that period in the
entire county.
Cousineaux-Stone told the planners
renovate the property, money they dont
have. Instead the plan is to demolish it and
erect a new restaurant. She said her com-
pany is very interested in the areas his-
tory and has displays in their other restau-
rants (of which Stoneys on Broones Island
was the first). She said
there would be a similar
display on the history of
Locust Inn in whatever is
built.
Itll be up to the county
commissioners to decide
whether she will be al-
lowed to do that. Uumila
said there are 92 proper-
ties in the county with
Historic District desig-
nation in a program that
started in 1974. There
has been only one other
request to remove the
designation, and that was
denied.

ville Lane, in Dunkirk, in reference to a
theft in progress. They were able to detain
both shoplifting suspects, Ashley Tilch,
28, of Owings, and Brian Loy, 28, of Lo-
thian, MD. A search of Tilchs purse was
conducted and a light gray/brown powder
(heroin) was found in her wallet. Loy was
advised to leave the property or he would
be arrested. He began to argue, use pro-
fanity and cause a scene. At that point Loy
was placed under arrest for Trespassing on
Private Property, Disorderly Conduct and
Failure to Obey a Lawful Order. Tilch was
transported to the Detention Center and
charged with CDS Possession of Heroin,
Possession of Paraphernalia (paper) and
Theft Less than $100.
Theft Case #17-16189:
On March 28, 2017, at approximately
4:30pm, Deputy R. Wilson was dispatched
to Old Town Road, in Huntingtown, for the
report of a theft in progress. The witness
reported a black male had stolen items
from the 7-11 store by placing them in a
red duffle bag, left the store and jumped
into a get-away vehicle. The vehicle was
followed and contact was made with the
driver, Vincent Matthews, 45, of College
Park, MD. The second subject, carrying
the duffle bag, had exited the vehicle and
ran away. A foot chase ensued and Sam-
uel Jones, 31, of Temple Hills, MD was
located in the Dollar General Store, where
he immediately complied with orders to
surrender. He was placed in handcuffs
and transported back to the 7-11. The red
duffle bag, tossed by Jones into a nearby
dumpster, was retrieved along with five
(5) stolen DVDs from the Huntingtown
7-11; eight (8) additional DVDs (stolen
from the Chapline 7-11) and found in the
vehicle, were all recovered and returned
to the respective 7-11 stores. A search of
Matthews wallet revealed a package of
suboxone. He was placed under arrest and
charged with two (2) counts of Theft Less
Than $100.00 and Possession of a Synthet-
ic Narcotic (Suboxone). Jones was charged
with two (2) counts of Theft Less Than
$100.00 and Disorderly Conduct.

On a blustery and cold night in South-
ern Maryland, Kyle Lear braved the ele-
ments to post his first win of the season
in last Friday nights 20-lap Limited Late
Model feature at Potomac Speedway. The
win for Lear, steering his three-race old
Rocket XR-1 no.151, was his second of the
young season as he was the Late Model
Sportsman winner at Hagesrtown speed-
way the weekend prior.
Tyler Emory and Kyle Lear made up the
front row for the start with Emory darting
into the race lead as the field scattered
off turn two. Emory was on a rail for
the first half of the event with Lear and
David Williams in tow. Emorys undoing
came on the 16th lap as he and Lear made
contact coming off the fourth turn with
Emory spinning from contention. Lear
would then pace the final four circuits to
post his 19th career Potomac feature win
over a fast closing David Williams. There
was a small lip in the middle of three and
four and I think Tyler hit that wrong which
is what got him sideways. Lear stated
post race. I didnt mean to get in to him
but there was no where for me to go. Lear
was quite pleased with the performance of
his new race car. This car has been un-
believable. Lear stated. Were starting
to get this thing figured out, and two wins
in two starts is a great way to begin the
season. Derrick Quade took third, Billy
Tucker was fourth with Emory rebound-
ing for fifth at the finish. Williams took
the heat win.

Teacher, Educational Support
Person of the Year Announced
At a gala event held at the Chesapeake
Beach Resort and Spa, Kelly Raby was
named the 2017 Teacher of the Year for
Calvert County Public Schools, and Terri
Franklin was named the Educational Sup-
port Person of the Year.
Ms. Raby teaches students in the Eng-
lish for Speakers of Other Languages pro-
gram at Windy Hill Elementary. She also
facilitates professional development at
Windy Hill and across the county to help
teachers infuse the Sheltered Instruction
Observation Protocol (SIOP) into their
instruction. SIOP, an instructional model
that makes content material comprehen-
sible to English Language Learners, un-
locks academic language for native Eng-
lish speakers, as well. Ms. Rabys persis-
tence, dedication and passion for helping
students learn has changed the culture
of teaching at Windy Hill Elementary,
said Principal Kelly Griffith. Walk into
any classroom, and you will see evidence
of Ms. Rabys teaching. Her impact has
made each of us a stronger educator.
Ms. Franklin, administrative secretary
at Northern Middle, keeps the school
running like a well-oiled machine, said
her principal Jaime Webster. A Calvert
County Public Schools employee since
1999, Ms. Franklin puts her wealth of ex-
perience to use as the first staff member
who greets visitors when they arrive at
Northern Middle. She cheerfully man-
ages the main office, fields parent phone
calls, helps teachers, and even volunteered
to be a co-athletic director. Mr. Webster
said, She will do anything she can to help
staff, students and community members.
Ms. Raby will move on to the state-level
Teacher of the Year competition. The 2017
Maryland Teacher of the Year will be an-
nounced in the fall.

trict are (teacher, followed by Support Person)

 12 Feature Story
Louie Blessed Culvert (Calvert) Real Good
By Dave Spigler
Feature Writer
Our great State of Maryland has a long,
rich history of producing prominent lead-
ers in all elds of endeavor including the
arts, entertainment, sports, and especially
politics. Among them are many renown
government ofcials, successful business
people, and heroic activists who made a
name for themselves, whether positive or
negative, on the national level.
The list includes men who either pre-
pared or signed the Declaration of Inde-
pendence including Thomas Johnson, our
rst Governor and for whom the Solomons
bridge is named and Charles Carroll, one
of the original signers. It also includes
Supreme Court Justices Samuel Chase,
Roger B. Taney, and Thurgood Marshall.
Native Marylanders Frederick Douglas
and Harriet Tubman played distinctive
roles in the ght for equality for all men
and women. Archbishop John Carroll of
Baltimore was the rst Catholic bishop in
the United States and is credited with cre-
ating the Catholic parochial school system
in the country with the help of Saint Eliza-
beth Seton, who started the rst schools
within the state.
In recent years, folks such as the late
Spiro T. Agnew, governor and vice presi-
dent, and Governor William Donald
Schaefer were personalities who made
lasting impressions with their often-gruff
personalities and public images.
Current well known ofcials appearing
almost daily in the national news media
include such notables as Dr. Ben Carson,
former Lt. Governor Michael Steele, our
own Representative in Congress Steny
Hoyer and his partner in the House, Mi-
nority Party Leader Nancy Pelosi from
Californias San Francisco district and
daughter of former Baltimore Mayor
Thomas DAlesandro, Jr.
But, of all the dignitaries and celebrities
our state has produced during its 229 years
of existence, there is no more colorful a
gentleman, no more charismatic a politi-
cian than Calverts own Louis L. Gold-
stein, also known as Mr. Maryland who
would rather just be known as Louie!
Goldstein was an original; there was
never a gent like him and there may never
be anyone who comes close to his record
of dedication as a public ofcial. Unique
Photos by Mike Batson
The Calvert County Times
and ubiquitous, Louie devoted more than
60 years in Maryland government, con-
stantly travelling the entire state bringing
his own brand of leadership and style to ev-
ery village and town. A lovable eccentric,
Louie was more than a politician, he was
a statesman. He did not care for the term
as he said statesmen are what you call
politicians who have died. When he died
at age 85 in 1998, he was making plans for
his 11th consecutive term as the Maryland
state comptroller. At the time of his death,
he was the longest serving state public em-
ployee in the nation, a distinction that prob-
ably will never be broken as well.
Louie enjoyed getting out and meeting
people, shaking hands and kissing babies
in the grand style of old-school politicians.
He traveled to every corner of the state
logging more than 100,000 miles each
year, riding to every event in a state ve-
hicle driven by a Maryland State Trooper
in plain clothes. He returned home every
night to his estate Oakland Hall south of
Prince Frederick because he wanted to be
near his family and to get a good nights
sleep in his own bed. Its said he always
carried extra pairs of shoes and socks
wherever he went because he intended
to spend the day out with the people. By
changing his shoes and socks he thought
he could get six hours more out of himself
before calling it a day.
A retired Reserve Marine Captain, Lou-
ie stayed t his entire life and began each
day swimming in his pool. He loved the
beach at Ocean City and would wade out
into the water to a depth just beneath his
knees and then walk two or more miles up
the beach in the surf with his bodyguards
struggling to keep up. He had a thing for
good health and staying in shape. Just two
weeks prior to his death, former Calvert
Commissioner Mary Krug remembers
Louie as the last one still dancing at a
party when everyone else was leaving to
go home! She thought that was a great
memory to have of him.
Among Louies great abilities was his
uncanny knack for remembering names
with faces. For years he retained a mem-
ory bank of people he met and surprised
people with recalling their names! He said
it was important to be able to have this
kind of interest in folks he represented.
He acquired this trait from his dad who
instilled in him the importance of sales-
manship. His dad, Goodman Goldstein,
was a Jewish immigrant from Prussia in
Eastern Europe. He came to America and
became a general store operator in rural
Calvert County after being assigned to
Prince Frederick by a retailers headquar-
ters in Baltimore.
Louie was born there in 1913 and
worked with his father until leaving for
college. He stated his dad taught him to
be kind, be polite, remember peoples
names, remember their children and their
backgrounds. He later said, I still do that
the same way, give people responsibility,
accountability, and service. How can you
beat that?
His dad proved to be a great business-
man and eventually became a land own-
er for more than 2,000 acres of various
properties in Calvert County in addition
to other wealth he acquired through his
astute nancial dealings. During the hard
times of the Depression era, Goodmans
customers often would pay their bills with
land when their cash and income was low.
Louie learned of the value in land owner-
ship at an early age and during his nearly
six decades as state comptroller.
In addition to inheriting his fathers vast
wealth, he bought large parcels of land in
every Maryland county to show the citi-
zens of his interests for them. In particu-
lar, the land where the Calvert Cliffs Nu-
clear Plant is located in Lusby was sold in
1967 by Louie to the Baltimore, Gas and
Electric Company.
Louie had interests in several Maryland
farms as well. Attorney Tom Axley, who
is still practicing law in Prince Frederick
in an ofce building owned by Louies
children Philip, Louisa, and Margaret lo-
cated directly across the street from the
courthouse, was Louies personal lawyer.
From all indications, Tom had his hands
full in just managing the Goldsteins fam-
ily wealth. Tom often said Louie knew
a thousand lawyers across the state, but
picked him to take care of his holdings!
For years, Louie had a dream of build-
ing a second bridge across the Chesapeake
Bay from near Cove Point on the west-
Thursday, April 13, 2017

ern shore to a site in Dorchester County.
Amazingly, if this plan was accepted by
the legislature, he would donate land on
both sides of the Bay for this huge un-
dertaking. This idea never found favor
with the politicians or the public and the
plans were scrapped. Apparently Louies
friends here in Calvert didnt want to be
saddled with all the noise and problems
this venture would have created. Nobody
wanted to see large volumes of trafc all
hours of the day and buildings and stores
that would eventually pop up. Just as No
Fracking in Maryland has become a
sign of the times, in Louies era the popu-
lar notion was Keep Calvert Green! It
was one of Louies least popular ideas,
although several other great ones would

Louie was educated in Calvert schools
and graduated from Washington College
in Chestertown with a BS in 1935. He
went on to the University of Maryland and
earned a law degree in 1936. He returned
home and ran for ofce as the Delegate
from Calvert County to the Maryland
General Assembly in Annapolis, becom-
ing the youngest member to represent this
area. Following a four-year term and with
World War II underway, Louie enlisted in
the Marines and served in the Asian and
Pacic theaters. He was commissioned
a 2nd Lieutenant and following the sur-
render of Japan, he served on General

Douglas MacArthurs staff investigating
war crimes. He was discharged from the
service in 1946, but joined the Reserves
eventually retiring as a Captain.
He immediately jumped back into
Maryland politics, winning election as a
Maryland State Senator from Calvert, and
served four straight terms in the Senate,
becoming Majority Leader in 1951 and
President of the Senate in 1955. He would
then get elected as Comptroller of Mary-
land in 1958 and would hold that position
for 40 years until his death.
The County Times contacted Bobby
Swann, an associate of Louies for more
than 38 years and his assistant comptroller
when he died; Swann was soon appoint-
ed comptroller by Governor Glendening.
When asked to reflect back on his asso-
ciation with Louie, Swann said Louie was
constantly looking to make improvements
for his beloved Culvert County, Louies the Benedict Bridge over the Patuxent
means of pronouncing the name the way
the old people of the county refer to it. He
also wanted to improve things across the
entire state. He was a thinker and a doer.
Swann remembers Louie worked hard
to get rid of the old Jim Crow laws that
were still on the books locally. The educa-
tion of our children was close to his heart.
A product of the Calvert schools, he des-
perately wanted to improve the school
system for both black and white children
as the education they were receiving was
very deficient when compared to other
systems in the state.
During his tenure, the schools here
were integrated and more dollars where
budgeted to improve teacher salaries and
to build new facilities to meet the increas-
ing growth and demands for quality edu-
The Calvert County Times
cation. By the early 90s, Calvert County
became the leading school system in
Maryland based on test scores, graduation
rates, teachers salaries, and quality of the
school facilities available.
Dr. Cinda Raley, former head of the
English Department for St. Marys Public
Schools, states teachers throughout Mary-
land loved Louie because of his astute fi-
nancial ability. It was Louie who foresaw
the need to remove the teachers pension
plans from the stock market and put it into
a 401K type Plan just days before Black
Monday hit when the market would suffer
its worst crash since the Depression.
Coming from the smallest county in the
state, Louie worked hard through good
old-fashioned politics to bring recogni-
tion of the needs of Calvert and the other
counties of Southern Maryland. He was
instrumental in getting funds to first build
the highest rating a state can have. His fi-
River under the guise of it becoming a toll
bridge. Once built and operational, he re-
moved the requirement for tolls, probably
with a wink.
His relations with Governor Schaefer
were always respectful even though they
were not drinking buddies. He some-
times got the best of the Gov, as when
he finally convinced him of the need for
constructing the Thomas Johnson Bridge.
Governor Schaefer was fond of stating
Louie is a tax collector! How can he be
so popular?
Louie was the most popular official in
the state for most of his public life. He
simply loved people. And, he loved cam-
paigning. He was always in demand as
an after dinner speaker and ended every
speech or presentation with his famous
trademark God bless yall real good. him great joy was seeing the tax refunds
You will see it on the reverse side of the
brick Welcome to Calvert County sign
as you leave the bridge on the Calvert side.
He always carried gold coins with these
words inscribed on them and enjoyed
passing them out to kids he would meet
during his trips around the State.
He was bigger than life, always smil-
ing with a twinkle in his eyes. And he was
loved in return. In all of his years of cam-
paigning, he never once used television
advertising to get re-elected.
Louie accomplished much as the comp-
troller; he ensured the state remained on
top of technological advances being made
in the financial world. Maryland was one
of the first states that permitted taxpayers
to file their returns electronically from
their personal computers. The state kept
a Triple A Bond rating during his tenure,
nancial records and his audits were con-
sidered perfect and served as models for
others. His excellent management skills
were recognized by a multitude of awards
presented to him.
in 1997, the National Association of
State Comptrollers named their new an-
nual award in his honor, the Louis L,
Goldstein Award for Excellence. Louie
also left his mark by initiating legislation
that became law permitting qualified vol-
unteers who have been certified by Mary-
land fire, rescue or emergency medical
services to claim up to $4250 tax deduc-
tion on an annual basis. This claim is also
allowed for qualified members of the U.S.
Coast Guard Auxiliary, Maryland Defense
Force, or the Maryland Civil AirPatrol.
One of the achievements that brought
Feature Story 13
to Maryland taxpayers got out on time!
Louie was recognized as our white
haired, outgoing Ambassador of good-
will. He, with his wife Hazel, also a law-
yer, were considered to be the perfect cou-
ple to represent the state and serve as role
models for how to conduct their public lives
and serve others. Together they attended
over 14 National Electoral Conventions as
Maryland delegates. They were married
for 48 years until Hazel passed in 1996.
Louie intended to retire upon her passing
but felt she would want him to continue on
with their work. She wouldnt want me to
sit around on my backside he was quoted
as saying. His description of himself as a
man who would rather wear out than rust
out is typical of the way he looked at his
lifetime of helping others.
To say Louie was a statesman does
not capture his true value by a long shot.
There is probably no one word that de-
scribes him, but a real gentleman and
friend he would most likely accept. How-
ever, Mr. Maryland is how most of us
old enough to have known this giant of a
man continue to remember him.
There were many more honors bestowed
posthumously on this man who left a great
legacy of accomplishments. He is the only
elected official in the history of the state
to be allowed to lie in repose in great ro-
tunda of the Maryland State House. And
his Mother County of Culvert dedicated
the highway that runs its length in his hon-
or for his many contributions to his many
friends and neighbors here!

Water Park Hosts
Town Easter Festival Democratic Central Committee
By Dick Myers
Staff Writer
The weeks rains had turned Kellams
Field in Chesapeake Beach into a soggy
mess. So, the Annual Chesapeake Beach
Easter Festival ironically was moved
across the street to the much drier Water
Park. The kids sure didnt seem to mind.
The festival featured Mr. and Mrs. Eas-
ter Bunny posing for pictures. Cartoon
characters such as Mickey Mouse and
Cinderella magically moved through the
park, interacting with the kids and pos-
ing for pictures. And, Superheroes also
worked their powers on the little ones.
Families could wander around and pick
up Easter treats from local merchants.
The Calvert County Times
Kids could play on the Rod-n-Reels tral Committee is considering candidates
Train. And there were games and face
paintingavailable.
At the end of the walk through the Water
Park, an area that is normally filled with
water was filled with Easter eggs instead.
Kids lined up and were let into the chute to
gather up the treasured eggs. There were
plenty for everyone.
The annual event is sponsored by
the Town of Chesapeake Beach and

Grascals Bluegrass Band Wraps

Up American Legions Series
Wow! What a line up
for this seasons Blue-
grass concert series at
the American Legion
Post 238 in Hughesville,
MD. Presented by Jay
Armsworthy & the Sons
of the American Le-
gion, the series will go
out with a bang featur-
ing the national known
Bluegrass band, The
Grascals, Sunday April
30, 2017. Doors open at
Noon and the show will
start at 2:00 pm.
For great musicians to make music,
they must form a bond that goes beyond
the purely musical to the personal. For
the Grascals, that bond has been made
between personal friendships, shared pro-
fessional resumes, and an appreciation for
the Bluegrass and Country music that has
been a hallmark of the Nashville scene for
over 40 years.
Their cutting edge Bluegrass is deliv-
ered with a knowledge and admiration for
the musics founding fathers. The unique
sound of the Grascals has earned them 3
Grammy nominations and 2 Entertainer
of the Year awards from the International
Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA).
They have made national media attention
with appearances on The Tonight Show
with Jay Leno, Fox & Friends, and The
Late Show with Craig Ferguson, and
CBS The Talk. The Grascals have per-
formed 150 times on the Grand Ole Opry,
performed twice for President George W.
Bush, and President Barack Obamas In-
augural Ball at the Smithsonian.
Not long after the group was created,
The Grascals caught the attention of coun-
try great Dolly Parton. Thanks to their
experiences and friendships, they were
a natural choice for Dolly to turn to for
recording and being a backup band for
her while on a Bluegrass tour. The group
continues to push the envelope. In 2010,
The Grascals joined The Rowdy Friends
Tour, traveling far and wide with Hank
Williams, Jr., playing before huge crowds,
expanding their fan base and exposing
new audiences to the diverse and unique
Grascal sound. Along with their friend
and country singer, Dierks Bentley, they
recorded the theme for the History Chan-
nels TV Show American Pickers.
Whether theyre digging into one of
their original songs, reworking a Blue-
grass classic, or a pop standard, The Gras-
cals prove to have a musical empathy to
put just the right touch on any song they
do. Take for instance, fan favorite, Last
Train to Clarksville. Non-bluegrass lis-
teners enjoy a new take on a familiar song,
while diehard bluegrass audiences who
may have never heard the Monkeys clas-
sic, respond in-kind, not even realizing
that the song has been Grascalized..
Beginning at 2:00 pm with the doors
opening at Noon, Chris Tenney & River-
side South, host of the Prince Frederick
Rescue Squad Friday night Bluegrass jam,
will open the show. Troy Jones will pro-
vide sound. At the end of the concert, one
lucky person will walk away with $500.00
cash money! Fried chicken or pulled pork
platters to include Cole slaw & French
fries will be the food of choice serving at tions should be submitted to SMECO, At-
Noon for a separate price
Tickets for the American Legion Blue-
grass concert for Sunday April 30 are
$20.00 per person. This is a bargain for a
class act like The Grascals. Children un-
der 12 are admitted free with a paid adult.
You can purchase tickets by mail by send-
ing a check made payable to Jay Arms-
worthy and mail to P.O. Box 741, Califor-

Calvert County, our nation, and the world.
Each talk will be presented by an UMCES
scientist and will inform the public about a
featured research effort.
Every year we produce a data-driven report
card for the Patuxent River and Chesapeake
Bay. We are learning what causes the report
card grades to degrade and to improve, and
have instituted a suite of activities to raise the
grades. But the rigid nutrient diet, changes
to fisheries practices and work to preserve
intact habitats will not be enough to restore
these bodies of water. So Dr. Dennison will
talk about how to account for climate change,
land use development and population pres-
sure (both human and animal) so that we can
raise the report card grades.
