Bridge Memorializes
Local Fallen Soldier
By Dick Myers
Staff Writer
Calvert County residents driving to An-
napolis cross the South River Bridge to
get there Now as they cross they will be
given a vivid reminder of one Southern
Marylander who gave his life so that all
of us can continue to be free to do things
like drive where we want. On Friday, May
12, the bridge was formerly dedicated
in honor of U.S. Army SSG Christopher
Swanson.
Swanson was 25 years old when he was
killed July 22, 2006 in Iraq of injuries sus-
tained when his patrol encountered enemy
small arms re. He was assigned to the 2nd
Battalion, 6th Infantry Regiment, 1st Ar-
mored Division. A short time before being
killed he had suffered a serious leg injury.
Instead of taking leave to recover from the
injury, he returned to his men. He was on
his third tour of duty.

Dunkin Donuts Coming Calvert County is Getting Healthier

to Prince Frederick Opioid Deaths Continue to Rise
By Dick Myers

Chick-fil-A Delayed Staff Writer

By Dick Myers
Staff Writer
America Runs on Dunkin! And, Cal-
vert County will soon be running on an-
other Dunkin Donuts. The Calvert County
Planning Commission on May 17 gave site
plan approval to a new franchise location at
255 Merrimac Court in Prince Frederick in
front of the Holiday Inn Express.
The Dunkin Donuts will share space in
a 4,508-square-foot building with an un-
named retail establishment. Parking for the
building will be shared with the motel.
The building will face Routes 2/4 even
though the entrance will only be off Mer-
rimack Court. Planning Commission Chair
Carolyn McHugh bemoaned the fact that
the drive-in for the restaurant will be fac-
ing Routes 2/4. She said as far as she knew
that was the only such drive-in facing that
road. The propertys configuration necessi-
tated that layout.
According to the staff report from Prin-
cipal Planner Judy Mackall, The total
parking required is 109 spaces, with five
reserved for handicap. The parking re-
quirement for Dunkin Donuts is 27 spaces
(one space per 90 sq. ft.). She said parking
required for the retail section is 12 spaces.
The Holiday Inn requires 70 spaces (one
per room). She said shared parking calcu-
lations reduce the total requirement to 84
spaces. That reduction requires administra- county commissioners sitting as the Board
tive approval from the planning commis-
sions administrator.
The site plan approval contained six
conditions. One of them is sign-off from
the Prince Frederick Town Center Design
Review Committee. However, that com-
mittee now only has one member, so it is
unable to meet. That being the case, Direc-
tor of Community Planning and Building
Mark Willis said the architectural review
would be by staff using the same criteria
that would have been applied if there was
a town center design committee available
to review it.
The proposal will only have to come
back to the planning commission if any of
the six conditions ae not met.
In another matter, the commission de-
layed a decision on a proposed Chick-fil-
A in Prince Frederick because the request
was made too late for all required agency
comments to be received.
The Chick-fil-A would be located at 800-
810 Solomons Island Road between Routes
2/4 and Costly Way. One of the pending
issues is whether the project involves dis-
turbing a non-tidal wetland or just a man-
made, storm-water management pond.

Calvert Countys health officer had
some good news and some bad news.
Health Officer Dr. Larry Polsky present-
ed his semi-annual report May 23 to the
of Health. Polsky reported that Calvert is
getting healthier and now ranks 6th in the
state, up from 7th the year before.
But that positive health news was tem-
pered with the sobering news about the
countys opioid crisis. The amount of un-
intentional intoxication deaths increased
by 30 percent from 2015 to 2016. Thats
represents an increase from 20 to 26
deaths and the final figures for 2016 are
not yet in, Dr. Polsky reported. Other in-
creases reported were 60 percent state-
wide, 73 percent in Anne Arundel County
and 70 percent in Prince Georges County.
The county health officer said that
the most serious problem appears to be
Fentanyl-related intoxication deaths. He
reported that the source of the drug has
been the pharmaceutical companies and
its now being manufactured in China. But
he said its easy to make All you need
is a reasonably competent chemist and lab
equipment.
Fentanyl is 50-100 times more potent
than heroin, the health officer reported.
Dr. Polsky noted the governors recent
declaration of a State of Emergency and
several bills which successfully passed the
legislature to address the issue.
In a report on other legislation, Dr. Pol-
sky told the commissioners about several
other bills that passed, including ones that
allow civil citations for the sale of tobacco
to minors and require liquid vape busi-
nesses to have the same license as for the
sale of tobacco products.
The doctor also reported on:
Lyme disease We are at the height
of the tick season He suggested us-
ing a tick removal device that is
available at pet shops. They work
great for people and not just dogs
and cats, he said.
Zika Disease It is still a world-
wide problem and pregnant women
are particularly vulnerable.
The state has fallen from first to
second in Health Security and Pre-
paredness that includes counterter-
rorism prevention. Vermont is now
number one.
Following his report the Board of Health
held a public hearing on a proposed $300
yearly reciprocity fee for mobile food ven-
dors. There was no public comment and
the fee was adopted unanimously. Com-
missioner Mike Hart, who was sick, was
not in attendance.

County Budget Sails
Through Public Hearing
By Dick Myers
Staff Writer
What a difference two months makes.
At the staff recommended budget hear-
ing two months ago at Calvert Pines Se-
nior Center, teachers and other supporters
dressed in red lined Dares Beach Road in
support of more education funding and
many spoke.
At the May 23 hearing on the commis-
sioners recommended budget at the same
venue there was nothing but praise for
the level of education funding. We are
really pleased with the budget presented
tonight said Calvert County Superinten-
dent of Schools Daniel Curry.
What happened in the intervening two
months was the signing of a funding for-
mula by the county commissioners and
the school board that gives clarity to fu-
ture funding and assured the schools
would get $6 million more in Fiscal Year
2018 than the current year. That will allow
the school system to fund the negotiated
agreement with their employees, includ-
ing providing one make-up STEP.
Gary Place, a teacher at Northern High
School, said the funding formula provides
security for the teachers that they hadnt
previously had.
Place was one of only seven speakers at
the public hearing. Among them, Sheriff
Mike Evans thanked the commission-
ers for their funding. He said he wasnt
complaining, but his department could
use more funding to elevate the starting
salaries for deputies and correctional of-
ficers to make it more competitive with
adjacentcounties.
A representative of Southern Maryland
Resource, Conservation and Development
asked for a little over $5,000 more from
the county. And Joy Hill asked that the
county provide funding for the Boys and
Girls Cubs. She said they dont turn any-
one away who cant afford to pay for their
services.
Pat Harris noted that the commission-
ers had proposed a budget using greater
Vassallo to Lead New Department of
Communications & Media Relations
The Calvert County Board of County
Commissioners (BOCC) is pleased to an-
nounce the appointment of Linda Vassallo
as director of the new Calvert County
Department of Communications & Me-
dia Relations. The appointment is an im-
portant part of the reorganization plan
the board approved April 25 to improve
overall county government operations and
services to the public.
Vassallo, who is currently director of
the Calvert County Department of Eco-
nomic Development (DED), has worked
for Calvert County Government for 21
years. Hired as the countys first mar-
keting and communications specialist
in 1996, she quickly moved through the
ranks to become DED director in 1999.
Linda has done a fantastic job for the
business community and for the taxpayers
of Calvert County, said board President
Tom Hejl. She is the true definition of a
public servant. Over the last 21 years, she
has worked hard to more than double our
The Calvert County Times
than the Constant Yield of property tax
revenue. He said last years tax hike had
been hard on his family. Many people
cant afford to live here, he said. The rest
of the commissioners rebuffed Commis-
sioner Steve Weems attempt to reduce the
property tax rate.
The commissioners proposed budget
uses $2 million more in property taxes
than the current year, monies generated
by reassessments. It also uses $8 million
more of income tax revenue generated
from the current years tax hike.
But, by far the greatest infusion of cash
for the $262.8 million proposed budget is
the $25 million from Dominion for their
new gas plant, under what is called PI-
LOT, or Payment In lieu of Taxes.
County Director of Finance and Bud-
get Tim Hayden said that revenue stream
would only continue if the new plant goes
on line by June 30, 2018. He said that is
anticipated but not assured.
Even though there are no income or
property tax rate increases proposed in the
budget, there are fee increases for the wa-
ter and sewer and solid waste funds. The
5,500 properties on central water and sew-
er will receive wat have been described as
small rate increases for the next two years.
The increases will take effect January 1.
The solid waste fee increases, includ-
ing the one charged for each business
or residence will go into effect in July.
That increase will be $2 per business or
residence.
Hayden described the budget presented
at the public hearing as almost final.
The commissioners will vote on the bud-
get at their June 6 meeting, but could
make changes before voting. The public
can send in written comments through the
close of business on June 5.

business base from less than 1,700 busi-
nesses in 1996 to the more than 4,650
businesses we have today, increasing the
commercial tax base more than 200 per-
cent or by nearly $900 million.
She and her team played a vital role in
two of the countys most important eco-
nomic legacies, Hejl continued. She
helped coordinate the Dominion Cove
Point LNG expansion and her teams work
on cultivating a robust commercial tax
base was a key factor in Calvert County
Government earning its first triple-A rat-
ing from all three credit rating agencies
last year.
The experience I have obtained on the
economic development side of the house
has been invaluable, shared Vassallo. I
am honored to have played a role these
last several years in building an economic
development climate that is sustainable
and growing to meet the needs of business
owners and the citizens.
It has been a great run, but I am truly Harriet Elizabeth Browns second cousins Madison and Sherman received cop-
excited to lead the new Department of

We look forward to the opportunity to

versity and held several public information
and public affairs positions before joining

Portrait Unveiled of County
Civil Rights Legend
By Dick Myers
Staff Writer
A Calvert County civil rights icon was
recognized May 23 with the unveiling of
her portrait which will now hang in the
courthouse in Prince Frederick. The late
Harriett Elizabeth Brown made history by
suing the school board and county com-
missioners because black teachers were
receiving half the pay of what their white
counterparts were getting.
The year was 1937. Brown was 30 years
old and the lawyer who represented her,
Thurgood Marshall, was 29. Keep in
mind this was 17 years before the much
more famous Brown vs Board of Educa-
tion that led to the desegregation of public
schools. Marshall was legal counsel for
the NAACP in that landmark case.
The unveiling of the portrait of Brown
by Ann Munro Wood is the culmination
of hard work by a group of dedicated vol-
unteers who made up the Harriet Eliza-
beth Brown Commemoration Task Force.
According to task force Chair Margaret
Dunkle, they had three goals: naming of a
community center, naming of a portion of
Route 2 and the portrait.
The ceremony in Courtroom 2 of the
courthouse, moved inside because of the
weather, featured memories and perspec-
tives from Browns relatives and many
countians who remembered Brown and ei-
ther worked with her or were taught by her
and her sister Regina, both of whom were
long-tine educators in the Calvert County
school system.
One of the speakers, C. Vernon Gray,
was a former student. He went on to attend
Harvard, become a Howard County coun-
ies of the portrait (center) that will hang in the Prince Frederick courthouse.

ciations of counties. He said once Miss
Brown caught him being late for class and
she ordered him to write 300 tines -- I
will not be late for class. The exercise
was a helpful lesson because he ended up
being first in his class in writing.
Other speakers included another Cal-
vert County icon Bernie Fowler, Commis-
sioner Pat Nutter and Delegate Michael
Jackson. Former teacher and colleague
Vivian Jones shared memories of Browns
battles on their behalf.
Former commissioner Susan Shaw told
of the Brown sisters, when they were 99
and 97 years old, teaching children about
the civil rights movement at an event at
Jefferson Patterson Park, Shaw said that
when she asked Brown why she filed suit,
she responded, It just wasnt right.
Shaw said Harriet, known to her family
as Libby, was the one who filed the suit
because her sister had more tenure and
probably wouldnt have been fired. The
plan was to have Regina support both of
them after Libbys anticipated firing over
the suit.
It didnt happen. Two days after Christ-
mas in 1937 the school board and the
county commissioners caved in under
the pressure of the suit ad agreed to equal
pay. Two days after that, Gov. Harry
Nice pledged to support equalized pay
stare-wide.
The hanging of the portrait in the court-
house has the support of Chief Judge
Marjorie Clagett. She said it would hang
inside the entrance in the
portico set aside to dis-
play Calvert County his-
tory. Portraits of Clagett
and other judges painted
by Wood also adorn the
courthouse walls.
Judge Clagett said Har-
riet Elizabeth Browns
life was the intersection
of education, govern-
ment and the law, so it
was appropriate that her
portrait will hang in the
courthouse. Copies will
also be displayed at the
school system headquar-
ters and the community
center named after her.

Owings Man Killed In Sheriffs Office Press Releases

College Park Stabbing
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
A black, newly commissioned U.S.
Army officer and Calvert resident was fa-
tally stabbed over the weekend at the cam-
pus of the University of Maryland in Col-
lege Park, according to university police.
The victim, Richard Wilbur Collins
III, a student at Bowie State University
in Prince Georges County, was allegedly
killed by suspect Sean Christopher Urban-
ski, a white student at College Park.
Urbanski has been charged with first-
and-second-degree murder and first-de-
gree assault; the Federal Bureau of Inves-
tigations as well as the Prince Georges
County Police have become involved in
the case due to suspicions that the stabbing
was hate or bias related.
The stabbing occurred at about 3:05
a.m. March 20, according to university
police.
University police stated that witnesses
positively identified Urbanski as the as-
sailant who attacked Collins.
Police say that the attack on Collins was
unprovoked.
University police Chief David Mitchell
said Collins was due to graduate at the end
of the week from Bowie State and had just
been commissioned as a 2nd lieutenant be-
fore he was stabbed.
We have no doubt that Sean Urbanski
with a knife stabbed Richard Wilbur Col-
lins and killed him, we know that to be a
fact, Mitchell said at a press conference.
The question is why did that happen.
Urbanski was yelling, Mitchell said,
when he confronted Collins and two of
his friends at a location near Montgomery
Hall on campus.
Step left, step left if you know whats
good for you, Mitchell said, recounting
Urbanskis statement to the victim before
allegedly stabbing him.
Urbanski was a member of a facebook
group called Alt-Reich that posted ra-
cially offensive and insensitive comments,

Snyders Big Day Not

Enough for Blue Crabs
TheSouthern Maryland Blue Crabs (13-
17) fell short Suday in the series finale of
their three-game series against the Bridge-
port Bluefish (18-13), with Bridgeport
walking off in the ninth by a score of 7-6.
The ball was jumping off the bats all
day long in Bridgeport, and it got started
early for the Bluefish against Southern
Marylands starter Brian Grening. A two-
out homerun from Jonathon Galvez scored
Sean Burroughs and Jose Cuevas, put-
ting the Bluefish ahead 3-0 in the second
inning. The Blue Crabsrespondedin the
top of the fourth, hitting a two-run shot
of their own. After an error allowed the
leadoff man, Edwin Garcia, to reach base,
Michael Snyder hit his second homerun of
the series. Cory Vaughn crossed the plate
three batters later, scoring from second on
a Devon Rodriguez single.
Bridgeport extended their lead in the
bottom of the inning, when Galvez hit his
second three-run homerun of the day. This
one brought across Jose Gil and Cuevas,
bringing the lead to 6-3. Snyder cut into the
lead once again, hitting his second homer
of the day, a two-run shot in the eighth off
Bridgeports starter Cory Riordan. The
homerun was Snyders sixth of the season,
and his second multi-homer game this year.
Riordan was lifted after walking the
next batter, as Bridgeport turned to their
closer David Carpenter to record the four-
out save. Carpenter (1-1) got out of the
eighth inning, but gave up a run in the ninth
to tie the game at 6-6. Rodriguez contin-
ued his hot streak at the plate, hitting his
first homerun since joining the team, and
picking up his fourth multi-hit game of
theweek.
The Blue Crabs turned the tie game
over to reliever Rob Carson (2-2), to work
the bottom of the ninth. Carson gave up
twosingles, before an error at third loaded
the bases for Bridgeport, with just one out
in the inning. Cuevas was next to bat, hit-
ting a flyball to deep center, giving Alberto
Callaspo enough room to tag up and score
the winning run. The sacrifice gave the
Bluefish a walk-off win in the game, and a
2-1 win in the series.
The loss drops the Blue Crabs to 13-17
on the season, and is their second series
loss in a row. The team has now lost six of
their last seven games. They will look to
turn things around Monday, May 22nd, as
they open a four-game home series against
the Lancaster Barnstormers. Southern
Maryland will send RHP Gaby Hernandez
(1-0, 3.27 ERA) to the mound, looking to
take the series opener. He will matchup
with Lancasters LHP Nate Reed (0-0, 3.80
ERA), in his third start in a row against
the Blue Crabs. First pitch is scheduled for
6:35 P.M. on Monday at Regency Furniture

CSM Sees Increase
in Dual Enrollment
When student Kayleigh Lister heard her
guidance counselors at Calvert High School
describe dual enrollment at the College of
Southern Maryland to her class last year,
Lister immediately recognized the programs
benefits. Dual enrollment allows high school
students to take classes at CSM for college
credit while satisfying high school gradua-
tion requirements.
It was a way to get a head start and save
some money said Lister, 18 and now a senior
at Calvert while being dual-enrolled at CSM.
Benefits of dual enrollment include a sav-
ings on tuition and a way for college-bound
students to start early in earning credits to-
ward their degree.
All the numbers, nationwide and in this
area, show that students who participate in
dual enrollment have a higher GPA when
they start college full time, said CSM Direc-
tor of Admissions Brian Hammond.
Dual enrollment also allows Lister to con-
tinue with her regular high school activities.
She plays field hockey for Calvert while hold-
ing down two part-time jobs. She takes three
classes at her high school, two classes at the
nearby CSM Prince Frederick Campus and
two online CSM classes.
Lister will walk away from CSM at the
end of this summer with 33 college credits
completed. That is a whole year of college.
said CSM Assistant Director of Admissions
Shelby Potts.
Her parents, however, had reservations at
the beginning.
Dawn Lister, Kayleighs mother, has been

ence with dual enrollment at CSM. Shes
pleasantly surprised us! Dawn said.

In a letter of recommendation to the pro-

broad civic involvement.
Participating in this program will allow
Williams to work with likeminded students

Memorial Day 2017
in Southern Maryland
By Dave Spigler
Feature Story Writer
Its that time of the year for all of us to
pause and remember our military men and
women who completely gave of themselves
so that we may continue to enjoy all of the
freedoms that are a part of our American
way of life. There have been so many local
heroes that have risen to the occasion and
it would be impossible to try to mention all
of their names for fear of leaving someone
out. There were nameless early individuals
that lived here in Southern Maryland and
fought in the Revolutionary War and helped
gain our freedom from England more than
230 years ago. There were the farmers and
citizen gentry who fought the British on St.
Leonards Creek as they were advancing on
Washington to burn our capitol in the War of
1812. Many young Southern Maryland lads
fought on both sides during our tragic four-
year Civil War from 1861 through 1865. Un-
fortunately, a number of these brave and spir-
ited youth were lost during this tragic period
in our early history not knowing their sacri-
ces allowed our edgling country to come
together stronger and more united than ever.
During the early years of the past century,
our citizens were called upon once more to
defend our Nation in the rst great World
War. They served as Army Doughboys
or Marine Leathernecks or Navy Swab-
bies and were sent to battles all over Europe.
Their blood was shed in Belgium, Germany
and France as we took in our role of support-
ing the War to end all wars! Many of these
brave individuals remain there in the several
American cemeteries that were built at the
conclusion of the WWI. And again, as much
as we hated to become involved in another
large war, the sneak attack at Pearl Harbor
on December 7, 1941 forced our hand once
more causing many young men and women
to run to recruiting ofces in the Upper Marl-
boro and the Waldorf areas and enlist in all of
our armed services. They volunteered to put
themselves in harms way in an effort to de-
feat the Axis Powers who threatened to take
over the world. Many great Americans gave
their lives on the sands of Normandy and Iwo
Jima, the jungles of Bataan, raids over Japan,
in sunken ships and submarines in the Atlan-
tic at the hands of the German U Boats, and
in Belgium, Poland, Germany, France, and
Italy where Americans paid the price once
more with their lives!
Were these heroes lives in vain? No, they
each gave of themselves to protect our way of
life as their ancestors had before them. But
as we watched, the forever peace attained
in 1945 was not long lived as we became
involved in the Korean Conict in 1950, an-
other bitter war that cost us more precious
American lives with the loss of many sol-
diers, airman and marines on this Asian pen-
insula during three years of hostilities. Many
of our senior citizens were youngsters at this
time, but can vividly remember the celebra-
tion that came following the cessation of this
war. And even to this day, tension remain
great in this part of the world!
Once more our period of peace was short
lived as we found ourselves in another naval
The Calvert County Times
skirmish in the South Pacic that rapidly im-
ploded into all out warfare in the tiny coun-
try of Viet Nam in 1964. Looking back, this
conict would cost us more than 50,000 of
our best citizens and nearly wipe out a whole
generation of our people while splitting our
nation in two over the next eight years. In ad-
dition to the great loss of life, our treatment
of our survivors who returned from this ugly
time in our history was pitiful, if not just plain
shameful. We witnessed America at its best
and felt it at its worst! Thank God, we have
learned to treat our precious military men
and women so much better in the years since.
Again, we continue to lose many of our
best people in ongoing operations in the
Middle East, Afghanistan, and Pakistan, as
we strive to help other nations defeat oppres-
sors and deal with new enemies. Just as Pearl
Harbor stirred our patriotism, so has the de-
struction of the Twin Towers in New York
caused our love for the US and our disdain
for terrorists to reach a fever pitch. Tragedies
involving our beloved Seal Team Six, the
loss of the Benghazi Four, our six dedicat-
ed Marines killed while helping the poor in
Nepal, the young outstanding Midshipman
killed in the Philadelphia train wreck, and
the young soldier just lost last month in the
crash of the Army helicopter at the Breton
Bay Golf Course in Leonardtown are con-
stant reminders of the dangers our military
people are faced with on a daily basis wheth-
er engaged in conict or not. They are all our
heroes! Their sacrices should not go unno-
ticed, nor should their deeds be forgotten. At
the very least, we all should take a moment at
this time to offer our thanks for them and our
prayers for their families.
To bring this somber story a little closer
to home, there are many families who have
lost a family member in uniform. It is one of
the most tragic, devastating, and saddest oc-
currences that may befall any family and it
will change their world forever. The County
Times spoke with Leonardtown resident
Richard P. Fortin about his uncle Joseph F.
Fortin, a US Army Horse Cavalry soldier sta-
tioned in France during WWI. Fortin never
knew his dads older brother, but he was later
given the records and correspondence that
took place between the family and the War
Department and the American Red Cross
when Private Fortin went missing. There was
an extremely emotional period of almost six
months of not knowing of this soldiers fate
other than he had been wounded in action
in October 918. Finally, his mother received
word that her oldest son had succumbed to
his wounds. She later learned he was buried
in the Argonne Woods near the site of the
battle where he had been mortally injured by
shrapnel. And to make this story even more
tragic, this American hero died just four days
prior to the signing of the Armistice that end-
ed this horric conict! Sadly, Private Fortin
would be one of the last Americans to die in
this war.
The Fortin Family tragedy is not unlike
thousands of others that suddenly strike loved
ones back home during our involvement in

Sun Shines on Churchs Spring Fest
By Dick Myers
Staff Writer
The sun finally came out Saturday May
20 at Shepherd of the Bay Lutheran Church
in Lusby. The church had to postpone its
annual Spring Fest scheduled for May 13
because of the rain. Not so for May 20 as
the heat and humidity broke and a perfect
spring day greeted the kids and their fami-
lies who attended.
Spring Fest included many games and
prizes for the youngsters, pony rides and
food for everyone. Games included a
moon bounce.
Shepherd of the Bay Lutheran Church
is located at 9463 HG Trueman Road in
Lusby. They have members from both
Calvert and St. Marys counties. They are
a member of the Wisconsin Evangeliccal
The Calvert County Times
Lutheran Synod (WELS), the only one in
Southern Maryland. They do events such
as Spring Fest and the annual Trunk or
Treat at Halloween as part of their service
to the community.
The church is also sponsoring a soccer
camp June 19-23, 7-11:30 a.m. for ages
4 to 12. Pastor Olson loves soccer. The
theme is Soccer is my game... Jesus is
my life! Pastor Olson will use the game
of soccer to teach all the kids something so
much more important than soccer- Jesus.

CSM Course Teaches

Compassionate Business
A business is more likely to succeed if the
business is designed to assist the wider com-
munity as well as make money, according to
Thomas Luginbill, director of CSMs Entre-
preneur and Innovation Institute.
I think theres a lot of college business
classes that focus on earning profit. But
there arent that many that teach students
about the value of the business providing so-
cial value to the community, Luginbill said.
Theyre starting to find that businesses that
incorporate some social mission are actually
finding a correlation with higher returns. Its
good business.
That is the idea behind CSMs Social
Johnson, who made the case that funding
should be provided for Farming4Hunger and
the nonprofits second annual athlete student
summit, Living Beyond the Game.
Ching and Johnson said they became
invested in their organization during the
course of the semester and expressed relief
that their organization was awarded the
funding.
The project that came in second was pre-
sented by SMCR, formerly known as South-
ern Maryland Community Resources, which
provides inclusive programs for people with
developmental differences at minimal cost. Members of the Patuxent High School Naval JROTC raise the American flag.

their altruistic muscles as they applied busi-
ness principles to challenges facing half a
dozen area organizations that have a central
mission of helping society five nonprofits
and one for-profit with a social mission. Or-
ganizations applied to partner with the col-
lege on the project and the students selected
which organization they would study for the
semester and then designed a project that
could assist that organization.
Working in groups, the students publicly
presented their projects during CSMs So-
cial Entrepreneurship Challenge held May
11 at the La Plata Campus.
At stake was a grade and $2,000; $1,500
for first place and $500 for second in fund-
ing that would go to the two projects judged
by a panel as best assisting the most people.
The winning project was presented by
CSM students Kaelyn Ching and Jordan
organization.
Other organizations that worked with
CSM students in the class were Circle of
Angels, DigiTouch, Kids Into Discovering
Science and VConnections, Inc.
Grant funding for the Social Entrepreneur
class, which covered full scholarship for
students tuition, fees and textbooks, came
from the Center for Engineering Concepts
Development (CECD) in the Department of
Mechanical Engineering at the University of
Maryland.
Im very happy to see this collaborative
arrangement with the College of Southern
Maryland not only succeed, but thrive, said
Anand, director of the CECD and Profes-
sor Emeritus of Mechanical Engineering at

The Solomons Island Yacht Club May
21 held its 24th Annual Watermens Me-
morial and Wreath Laying Ceremony at
Solomons Boardwalk Memorial Park. The
event was followed by lunch, the annual
commissioning and Blessing of the Fleet.
Master of Ceremonies for the event was
Commodore Craig Wilson. He noted Sol-
omons Islands heritage on the water, in-
cluding becoming the leading oyster pro-
cessing town in the world and an amphibi-
ous training center in World War II. The
commodore noted that their clubhouse
was once a Navy USO facility. We are
still a town that loves its waterways and
makes good use of them, he said.
Guest speaker, Patuxent River historian
Wayne Clark, picked up on that theme
to give a compact history of the islands
water orientation beginning with its first
inhabitants. For 600 generations, the
Indians lived along the river ad adapted
to changes, Indians were our first water-
men. he said. When the Englishmen ar-
rived, the Indians harvested from the river
for them until they developed their own
watermens trade.
Local place names, such as Patuxent
and Potomac, were Algonquin Indian
names, Clark explained. Patuxent means
The village at the fall of the stream.
The story of life on the Patuxent in-
cludes the War of 1812 and the Battle of
St. Leonards Creek and the sailors who
lost their lives in that battle, Clark said.
And that story continued with the estab-
lishment of the base at Solomons, and the
Chesapeake Biological Lab that studies
the river.
Oyster production peaked at seven mil-
lion bushels and declined to todays 3,000
bushels. Along the way watermen found
other jobs on the base or at the lab. He
singled out the legendary Pepper Langley
who went to work at Pax River and then in
retirement became the Calvert Marie Mu-
seums master boat builder.
The ceremony featured the recitation
of the names of departed men and women
who worked and played on the river and a
wreath laying by the clubs Vice Commo-
dore Mike Snapp.
The colors were presented by Patuxent
High School Naval JROTC. National An-
them was sung by Patuxent High School
Choir. A water cannon salute on the river
was presented by a boat from the Solomos
Volunteer Rescue Squad and Fire Depart-
ment. A trumpet salute was performed by
Douglas Fraley. Invocation and benedic-
tion was given by Deacon Moise DeVl-
lier of Our Lady Star of the Sea Catholic
Church.
