COUNTYNEWSODonnell Will Stay His Course

Commissioners Vote forMetropolitan Designation

www.RuddyDuckBrewery.com

Menu Coming Soon!

By Guy LeonardStaff Writer

Del. Anthony J. ODonnell says he willcontinue to uphold Republican Party princi-

ples in the wake of a vote in the GOP House

Caucus that resulted in his ouster as minorityleader more than a week ago.The vote was reportedly very close

among GOP delegates but Anne Arundel Del.Nicholas R. Kipke was chosen to be the newminority leader. Harford County Del. KathySzeliga also replaced Del. Jeannie Haddaway-Riccio as minority whip in the MarylandState House.

Being out of the leadership positionmeans be can now focus more closely on hisown goals both political and personal and bemore free in how he expresses his positions inthe legislature, ODonnell said.

As minority leader for six years, he hadto work to accommodate many divergent

points of view.But much of what he does will remain

the same, he said.I will continue to vigorously represent

the citizens of Calvert and St. Marys countiesat a high level, ODonnell said.

A continuing focus on scal prudence

and protecting personal freedom would be atthe core of his agenda, he said.

From that perspective nothing willchange, ODonnell said.

He made no comment on why the votecame to oust him from his longtime leader-

ship position but he said it was expected.It was not a surprise, we knew it wasgoing to be close, ODonnell said.

ODonnells tenure as House MinorityLeader was marked by some successes andhigh-prole losses.

During his leadership Republicans actu-ally gained six seats in the House of Delegatesduring the 2010 election at a time when for-mer Gov. Robert Ehrlich lost his reelection

bid to Gov. Martin OMalley by 15 percent-age points.

Despite ODonnells efforts at partyunity and strong opposition to tax increasesand sweeping gun control his party still wentto defeat.

Political observers said that the changein leadership was likely more about wearinesswith the partys lack of success than having a

problem with ODonnell personally.Its an act of frustration, said Todd

Eberly, professor of political science at St.Marys College of Maryland.


The Board of County Commission-ers voted Tuesday to approve an agree-ment that would make a portion of thecounty part of a metropolitan planning

organization (MPO) that would put thecounty in line to receive larger amountsof federal transportation funding, but onecommissioner dissented because he be-lieved it gave the federal government toomuch control over land use decisions here.

Planning staff recommended mov-ing ahead with the agreement to partici-

pate with the state and federal governmenton the designation, though in St. MarysCounty elected leaders rejected the pro-

posed agreement and appealed the desig-nation of Lexington Park and Californiaas part of the MPO along with the Chesa-

peake Ranch Estates in Calvert.According to staff reports the

consequences of not taking part in theagreement would mean the loss of about$454,000 in public transportation fundingor about half of the budget allotment forthat line item.

Other counties reported that theyhad received money for planning water-

shed implementation plan retrots andother enhancements by taking part in theagreement.

The MPO process came about fromU.S. Census data that claimed the areasin both Calvert and St. Marys had be-come so populace as to designate them asa single planning area for transportation

purposes.Commissioner Jerry Clark voted

against the agreement.Its just silly and a waste of time,

Clark said. Its just more federal intru-sion in local stuff.

[email protected]

The problem for Maryland Republicans,though, is that their numbers are so few in theHouse and the Senate that dominant Demo-crats dont need to compromise with themno matter what leadership changes the GOPmakes.

You almost have to say Who careswho their leader is? Eberly said. If theydont change their message theyre screwed.

Eberly said Republican intransigence onlaws like the Dream Act and same sex mar-riage put them at odds with an increasinglyliberal Maryland.

And while much of rural Marylandsupported Republicans, especially whenit comes to their staunch opposition to guncontrol, it doesnt follow them in urban areas.

In essence, the state GOP is becomingthe party of no, he said.

They dont offer any credible alterna-tives, Eberly said. Republicans basicallyneed one cohesive message that completely

backs off social issues.Its always what theyre against.By constantly being in the opposition,

he said, Republicans have been forced to con-stantly react to Democrat political offensives.

If all youre doing is reacting youre notbuilding your numbers.

Increasing their numbers in the senate,where they could actually use the libusterif they had 19 votes to hold open debate, iswhere Republicans should double their ef-forts, Eberly said.

ODonnells release from the minorityleader allows him to run for the Senate, hesaid.

That completely frees him up to run

against [Sen. Roy] Dyson, Eberly said. Ihe doesnt do it now I dont know when hewould.

Eberly said that Dysons narrow victoryin the last election made him vulnerable in anincreasingly Republican St. Marys despite

being a conservative Democrat.ODonnell seemed to put little stock inthat option.

Any plans along those lines are speculative at best, ODonnell said.

Frank McCabe, a member of the Calvert County Republican Central Committeelamented ODonnells ouster.

I was obviously very disappointed inthe change of leadership, McCabe said. Hewas always a stalwart in defending commonsense scal policy.

McCabe said ODonnells aggressive opposition to certain policies may havsoured him to younger delegates but hecounted the former minority leaders aggressive and conservative stances as needful.

The leader of the [House] Republicanhas to be a bulldog, McCabe said. He hadto be a ghter, were in the minority.

ODonnell declined to comment on thefuture of the new leadership, only that hwould continue to be a loyal GOP member.

He noted however, that while the lasleadership team was from rural areas othe state, the new team was from an urbansetting.

I hope and pray we focus on protectingthe interests of rural areas from a very hostileadministration.

Victims of Lyme Disease

Warn of Debilitating Eects

MarylandState

Police andSherisOce

Go Headto Head

By Sarah MillerStaff Writer

For years, the sheriffs ofceand the state police have faced offin November for the annual TurkeyBowl. Last year, game organizerDFC Andre Mitchell suggestedadding a new sport to their reper-toire a spring basketball game.

Money from the basketballgame benets the DARE program.Mitchell, the new president of theMaryland DARE Ofcers Associa-tion, found sponsors to pay for inci-dental costs, such as tee-shirts forthe players. Sponsors help ensureall proceeds go to DARE, he said.

It was very unofcial lastyear, Mitchell said, adding theevent was meant to gauge the levelof interest in the game.

This years basketball gamewas May 8 at 6:30 p.m. at Hunting-town High School.

In addition to the basketballgame, police nation wide are pre-paring for National Police Week,the week of May 13.

In the ve years since Mitchelljoined the Calvert County SheriffsOfce, the county always hosted aceremony for the Southern Mary-land agencies. During the ceremo-ny, fallen ofcers from SouthernMaryland and nation wide receiverecognition, Mitchell said.

Typically, corrections work-ers were the only ones not honored

during National Police Week, hav-ing a separate time to honor themthe week before. This year, correc-tions workers who have fallen willbe honored at the ceremony, Mitch-ell said, adding the rst casualtiesin the line of duty this year werecorrections ofcers.

The ceremony used to be in theafternoon at Calvert Pines SeniorCenter. Two years ago, the sheriffsofce changed the ceremony to anevening affair, which Mitchell saidallows more family members to at-tend. This years memorial is May14 at 7 p.m. in Calvert LighthouseChurch in Prince Frederick.

Four months of work cul-

minated in a ribbon cuttingfor grand re-opening of NorthBeachs Bayside History Muse-um on May 4.

We moved from one histor-ic house to the old North Beachre department, said museumpresident Grace Mary Brady.

In addition to the NorthBeach re department, the build-

ing housed the Twin Beaches li-brary in 1981 for approximately10 years, then multi purposespace for the Department of

Parks and Recreation.This weekends grand re-

opening was successful beyondour expectations, Brady said.

They welcomed more than350 visitors in less than threehours on Saturday, and the mu-seum packed on Sunday. Peoplecame from as far away as Flori-da, New York, and locally fromWashington, D. C., Baltimoreand Easton, she said.

The new location is 10 timesthe size of the former one andhandicapped accessible, Bradysaid. The new space allowed themuseum to expand and add ex-hibits. Old exhibits that receivedfacelifts included the Camp

Roosevelt display, which nowholds a canoe and artwork froma movie that was shot there, andthe A Day at the Beach exhib-its, which includes a display ofshing rods and lures from the1920s to now. They built a merrygo round and a facsimile of theamusement park that used to callthe beaches home.

The most important addi-

tion is the museum gift shop,which the museum never hadbefore, Brady said. Volunteer Di-ane Harrison ordered merchan-dise for the gift shop, includingminiature carousel horses and

tobacco barn, jewelry, toys andsomething for everyone, Bradysaid.

One of the new exhibits fea-tures the War of 1812 and Fran-cis Scott Key. Items in the Warof 1812 display include old shipslogs from the area.

Work on the museum wascompleted in four months, usingmore than 70 volunteers, Brady

said.Its a real act of love.Volunteer Hilary Dailey

has been with the museum sinc2006 and has been excited to takpart in the move and the new

exhibits.Its looking wonderful,

A former county employee,a local Boy Scout, both sufferingfrom the crippling effects of LymeDisease told the Board of CountyCommissioners Tuesday that

public ofcials needed to ensureresidents were fully aware of thedanger of tick bites or they couldsuffer the same fate.

Corinne Cook, former clerkfor the commissioners, was diag-nosed with Lyme Disease in Feb-ruary of last year and has sincesuffered neurological and physical

trauma. She can only walk with

great difculty and often requiresassistance.

Her speech has been ham-pered since the disease spread,she said.

The disease went to mybrain, Cook said. But the dis-ease not only affects the patient

but their family as well.She read a text message from

her son who lamented the fact thatthere was nothing he could do tohelp assuage her ailment.

My story is one of many,Cook said.

Nikolas Stout, a Boy Scoutfrom Troop 451 in Lusby, said he

had removed ticks many times and cant know when or where thebacteria that caused the diseaseentered his body even though hewas nally diagnosed with it inJune of last year after seeing morethan 70 different doctors to ndthe cause of his pain and lethargy

I havent been to schoolbecause of this disease since lastyear, Stout said. Its not some-thing you can push through.

If treated early enough thesymptoms of the disease, includ-ing fatigue, muscle weakness,

joint pain and even heart and neu-rological ailments can be cured.

If treated too late the prob-lems can linger and even causeeventual death.

Commissioner Susan Shaw

said the neurotoxins common tLyme Disease were just like thkinds found in mold, from whichshe herself has suffered.

She said Calvert Countneeds physicians who were familiar with treating patients sufferinfrom neurotoxins.

Were working on gettinsome doctors here who are up tspeed, Shaw said.

According to informatiofrom the Maryland Department oHealth and Mental Hygiene therwere 24 cases of Lyme Diseasreported in Calvert in 2011. Thhighest number of cases reportewas 84 back in 2007.

Local Crafters Serve

Community withPillowcases


Two yards of fabric make two pillowcases, according to Mary Embry. For theSouthern Pines Senior Center sewing circle,this means one to take home and one todonate.

The group started making clutch bagsat the beginning of the year. Since then, they

began making handmade gifts for local tran-sitional homes and shelters. Embry found

this idea in a magazine and presented it tothe group. The women embraced the ideaand ran with it, choosing to make handmade

pillowcases.The idea was just a suggestion. Nobody

is required to make a donation, but the groupwas enthusiastic. Embry was surprised athow many came in.

The group made their frst donationon May 1 to Ruths Miracle Group Home, atransitional home based out of Lusby. Theirnext project is a larger batch to give to SafeHarbor in Prince Frederick, once they re-ceive approval from the shelter.

These pillowcases are something per-sonal to keep, said group member EloiseEvans. Embry credited her with making con-tacts with groups homes in the area.

Some pillow cases are made for the

children who come to Safe Harbor with their

mothers. When children are taken from homin the middle of the night, it is frightening. Ina situation like that, little kids, the frst thinkthey do when they get a pillow or a stuffedanimal is hug it, Embry said. Recipients arallowed to take the pillow cases home withthem.

Embry is working on a pattern to maksuperhero capes for children who come intoSafe Harbor, in addition to children in thhospital.

Some of the fabric the group uses is donated. Embry inspects and cleans cloth beforthey use it for pillow cases. Group member

purchased juvenile prints to use fochildrens items.

The group meets everWednesday from 9:30 a.m. to 4

p.m. The Southern Pines sewinroom is open to the group every dayof the week when it is not otherwisoccupied.

Wed love to have anybodywho wishes to join us, Embry saidadding the group welcomes crafterof all skill levels and will teach necessary skills.

We have always had very importantpartnerships with the library and they havebeen great neighbors for us at GMA! Familiesstopping at the Academy for their weekly mu-sic classes almost always stop at the library as

well.We were inspired by the decision of the

local government to make a large initial in-vestment in a new interim branch in Solomonswhile we get a few years of economic recov-ery under our belt, said Nick Garrett, Dean ofStudents at the Gar rett Music Academy.

The Academy offered a $5,000 contr ibu-tion to the new project, dedicating the con-tribution to the development of the new non-fction section. There was supposed to be anew branch built and when the economy wentsouth the project was deferred. That did notaddress the fact that the south county residentsneeded a new facility now. Our commission-ers over the last several cycles acted, and soshould those businesses who want to have animpact on education in our community, saidGarrett of the expansion. All it takes is one

trip to the current branch and the question asto why we need another library is answeredclearly.

The library is one of the most importantpublic institutions available to citizens. Fami-lies that use the library regularly are well-pre-pared and active members of the community.We are honored to be able to support the mis-sion of the library and to share with our fami-lies that these types of causes are where our in-vestments go, not to frivolous ventures. I hopeour families, teachers, staff, and students, areproud of this support and get a chance to gocheck out the new branch when it opens.

Flying Pigs and Pizza

Local Chef Oers Cooking Classes

The Flying Pig Eatery Has it All

Learn to Cook with Confdence


After an argument aboutthe lease in his previous loca-tion, local business owner KenAbate said he would re-open in a different loca-tion. When pigs y, was the response he received.

Pigs have taken wing, and in honor of this ac-complishment, Abate dubbed the new St. Leonard restau-rant The Flying Pig Eatery, which opened March 18.

The Flying Pig Eatery offers a wide variety of cuisine,from crab balls and cheese steaks to New York style pizzaand pulled pork.

The menu is designed to offer something for everybody,Abate said. They offer an outstanding club sandwich, and

they cant keep cheese steaks and pulled pork in the restau-

rant, due to the popularity theyhave found in the area.

From their menu, Abatewould recommend the pizza,

cheese steak and crab balls.In my opinion, we have the best

crab balls around, he said.Abate and his business partner, Stacey, ac-

quired the St. Leonard restaurant in November 2012.Since then, they cleaned and painted the interior from top to

bottom, replaced the stove, hood and other kitchen equipmentand installed new tables and chairs. A chicken statue outsidehas become a popular photo opportunity, Abate said.

The new pizza oven is a deck style, which makes the bestNew York style pizza, he said.

The Flying Pig offers event catering. For more informa-

tion, including a full menu, visit www.yingpigeatery.com orwww.facebook.com/yingpigeatery.

It has been designedto address the intellectual, social,emotional and physical well beingof students, according to a Cal-verton press release.

Students in IB take testssimilar to AP tests, in addition to

Mutual Elementary School welcomed par-ents, grand parents, aunts, uncles and other spe-cial adults to spend a day in the classroom duringthe schools second VIP Day on May 3.

This was Brian Frankels rst time spend-ing the day at Mutual. VIP day was an opportu-nity to see what she does all day, since she nevertells us, he joked. His daughter, Sarah Frankel,is a fourth grader.

Heidi VanEsselstyn spent the day with herkindergartener, Max VanEsselstyn.

Its fun to be back here, she said. Van-Esselstyn is a product of Mutual ElementarySchool, and enjoyed seeing what changed andwhat stayed the same at the school.

VIP Day is a combination and expansion ofMufns for Moms, Donuts for Dads and Grand-

parents Day, according to Principal Lisa Wis-niewski. Previous events only allowed parents tocome in during the morning. VIP day providesan opportunity for all families to come share aday with their important little person, she said.

Other school events are planned and over-seen by the school PTA. VIP Day was planned byteachers and the schools student council.

Student council leaders were encouragedto take point, Wisniewski said.

When the PTA asked how they could help,Wisniewski told them they were to be guests thistime.

Fourth grader Jackson Carswell directed in-coming visitors to the ofce to check in then es-corted them around the school to nd their child.He enjoyed helping out during the day.

Ive never seen the kindergarteners so ex-cited, he said.

This year, in addition to following their chil-dren around parents could participate in a cultur-al arts assembly. A photographer was on hand for

professional student photos.Wisniewski said the day was a little bit of

a challenge, but the school will likely stick with

the format in coming years. VIP Day is a chancefor parents to be actively engaged in their childrens school day, and for the school to encourag

parental involvement.The little people are very important to us

and so are the big people, Wisniewski said.In addition to students guests, county of

cials, such as County Commissioner PresidenPat Nutter, came to VIP Day. Wisniewski saidShe was pleased to welcome them.

Its very important to the community torealize that children are our hope for the future,she said.

Circuit Court Judge Gregory Wellssentenced a Sunderland man to three-and-a-half years in prison for initiatinga spree of vandalism that focused racialepithets mainly against the AfricanAmerican community.

Wells said that despite characterreferences from his ance, her mother,and friends and co-workers who saidthey had never heard him use racial slursand that he was trying to turn his lifearound from criminal behavior, CurtisLee Millsap IIs recent crimes showed adifferent side to h is personality.

This is the most disgusting and

reprehensible drawings on a personshouse, Wells said as he looked at pic-tures submitted into evidence by pros-ecutors. That bespeaks a completelydifferent attitude.

This occurred over several daysalmost a solid month.

Police charged Millsap with 10counts of destruction of property and hewas found guilty of ve of those countsin a January bench trial.

Millsap addressed the court toapologize for his actions; prosecu-

tors said that up until his sentencinghe had denied any involvement in thevandalism.

Any body that was hurt by that[his crimes] Im sorry, Millsap said.

Assistant States Attorney Alex-andra Bynum said Millsaps crime hadfather-reaching affects than just damag-ing and defacing property.

His spree of vandalism hit not onlycounty road signs and guardrails butalso private homes, some of which werenearly covered in grafti.

This was not just a crime againstproperty, Bynum said. This is a crimethat harmed the community at large.

He certainly shows no remorseand has denied any involvement.

Bynum said Millsaps pre-sentenc-ing investigation showed he exhibitedmanipulative behavior and a lack ofability to control his anger.

Wells said after Millsap completedhis prison sentence he would be placedon ve years of supervised probation; ifhe chose to do community service af-ter his sentence Well said he might re-consider reducing any back up time forMillsap.

Christmas in AprilThanks Volunteers

On behalf of the Board of Directors of Christmas inApril*Calvert County, I would like to thank the community fortheir overwhelming support of our Christmas in April annual workday, the last Saturday in April. April 27 found over six hundredvolunteers improving twenty-seven homes of low-income home-owners in Calvert. In total, Christmas in April*Calvert County willimprove the houses of 30 homeowners this year. What a wonder-ful feeling it was to experience the generosity of spirit and time ofthese volunteers as they transformed the lives of so many persons.

Roofs were repaired and replaced. Homes were made moreaccessible for homeowners with disabilities. Plumbing and electri-cal work made homes more usable and safer. Painting and newooring added brightness and cheer to the houses. Yard work andnew shrubbery enhanced the outside appearance of the dwellings.These are just some examples of the work performed that day.

This could not be done without the dedication of wonderfulvolunteers, churches, organizations, and businesses, and the nan-cial support and donation of supplies from so many.

If you wish to learn more about the program or obtain an ap-plication to benet from the services, please check our website atwww.christmasinaprilcalvertcounty.org, call us at 410-535-9044,or write us at P. O. Box 2761, Prince Frederick, MD 20678. We arean afliate of Rebuilding Together and a United Way CommunityPartner.

Spring is always a busytime of year, as our focusshifts from in-doors to ouroutdoor living spaces. TheCalvert Garden Club PlantSale is always the last Satur-day in April every year and afundraiser that I look forwardto with great excitement. The

plants are g rown in the yards of the members, sothey are hale and hearty for our climate and grow-ing conditions. I always nd plant gems at this sale,and this year is no different. I found a pink magno-lia that blooms in the fall, a pink and black water-melon day lily and many other treasures. I want tosupport the Calvert Garden Club because they area very active group that decorates our communityand especially the courthouse and the entrance toPrince Frederick at Christmas time. If you missedit this year, put it on your calendar for next and getthere early, as the best selections go quickly.

The last Saturday in April is also home tothe Celtic Festival at Jefferson Patterson Park andMuseum and to Christmas in April, the non-protthat refurbishes the homes of low income eldersand handicapped members of our community. Anincredible amount of planning goes into the prepa-rations for each house so that most, if not all, therehabilitation work on a particular home can becompleted in one day. Plan, supplies, and work-ers must be ready. I stopped by two houses under-going the magic of Christmas in April volunteersthis year. At one home in Huntingtown, a leakingchimney had already been removed by 8:15 a.m.

with a crew to repair the leaks, replace faultysheaving, and replace siding where the chimneyhad existed. Gutters were also being installed already at that early hour. At a second house in Huntingtown, the homeowner rushed out to greet meto express her gratitude. Window replacement andinterior painting, as well as exterior landscapingwere under way. Our generous community comesthrough again for our less fortunate! Thank youChristmas in April volunteers.

I also made a stop in North Beach to checkon the progress of Comcast Cares Day Plant theTown Volunteer Project. All the planter boxealong the waterfront looked terr ic. I was told thaso many volunteers showed up to help that they nished early. Way to go North Beach and Comcast!

A detour took me by the Wilson Ennis Club-house to the Cup of Prevention Family Fest.

I ended the day at the Calverton School Annual Auction, which is also always held on the lastSaturday in April, and which is a highlight of every Apri l. You may have seen a boat or a car sittingnext to Route 4 to advertise the large items thatcap off each years auction. This year, it was two

boats. I never fail to nd bargains that benet theschoola terric win/win.

Finally, I got to savor a surprising turn oevents. On Thursday night, I received recognition

by all the elected ofcials in Southern Marylandthree counties for National Volunteer Month foOutstanding Leadership and Volunteerism foserving as Chair of the Regional Veterans Advisory Committee. Of course, as usual, it is ALL themembers of the Committee and past staff person

Wayne Clark of North Beach, that really earned theaward. However, you can be extremely proud of alour collaboration to benet our local Veterans andthe recognition points that out. Happy Spring!

After the success of shorter charrette models while up-dating the Lusby and Solomons master plans, the county isimplementing a larger scale charrette for the Prince FrederickMaster Plan and Zoning Ordinance update.

Charrettes have become sort of the standard for landplanning and municipal processes, said Department ofCommunity Planning and Building Community DesignerWilliam Selman, adding they reduce the amount of time in-volved while increasing public participation in the process.

The upcoming charrette is a ve-day process. The coun-ty is working with consultant Craig Lewis with the LawrenceGroup from North Carolina to develop the charrette.

Planning for the charrette was a logistical challenge, Sel-man said. Planners sought a location with space for designers

to work on the draft plans and designs and where they couldhold nightly public meetings to discuss draft plans. They set-tled on St. Pauls Episcopal Church in Prince Frederick.

The nightly community meetings are designed to alloweveryone in Prince Fredrick, Calvert County and surround-ing areas to voice their opinions on the future direction ofPrince Fredrick.

The team will spend ve intensive days working on theMaster Plan and Zoning Ordinance, taking community com-ments into consideration after every meeting, Selman said.At the end of the charrette, the updated documents should becomplete and only require ne-tuning, Selman said.

Particular emphasis will be given to the redevelopmentof the former Calvert Middle School property and adjacentlands along Route 2/4 up to Calvert Memorial Hospital, ac-cording to Department of Community Planning and BuildingPrincipal Planner Jenny Plummer-Welker.

Initial master plans and zoning ordinances have beendeveloped together for the seven Calvert County town cen-

ters, but this is the rst time the two documents will be up-dated together, Plummer-Welker said. The Department ofCommunity Planning and Building decided this was the best

procedure.

The master plan sets policy while the zoning ordinanceallowed the policies to be carried out.

The Prince Frederick Town Center is comprised of eightdistricts entry, fairgrounds, forest, new town, old town, oldtown residential, old town transition and village. The updatewill use ve-focus areas north corridor, east side, old town,west side and south corridor. Each of the ve focus areasincorporates one or more of the eight districts, according toPlummer-Welker.

The study will be completed in two phases. Phase onewill focus on the north corridor and phase two will focus onthe south corridor, the west side, old town and the east side.The charrette will take place during phase one.

The project will cost approximately $95,000. This costcovers a multi-day design workshop and the assistance ofa contracted team of professionals to jump start the project,according to documents presented at the Dec. 11 Board of

County Commissioners meeting.During the process, planers will study t ransportation in

the town center, and focus on making it more pedestrian andbiker friendly, Plummer-Welker said.

To prepare for the ve-day charrette, Selman is hostinga series of workshops at the Prince Frederick library. The rstwas on April 29 and 30. The topic was Past, Present and Fu-ture: The Ingredients of Town Centers. The second seminarwas Mixing and Arranging the Ingredients: The Menu ofTown Center Design on May 6 and 7. Upcoming seminarswill address ways the community can work new ideas intothe existing town center, the demographics and market inPrince Frederick and the aesthetics of the town. When talk-ing about aesthetics, Selman plans to bring in examples ofarchitecture and town accessories to decide what would twith Prince Frederick.

Each presentation is offered twice, once in the afternoonand once in the evening. Light refreshments are provided. Allsessions are free and held at the Prince Frederick branch of

Calvert Library, located at 850 Costley Way. Following eachpresentation materials are made available to the public on thecounty website.

County Commissioner Susan Shaw has high hopes for

the charrette. She attended the rst couple of workshops during the daytime sessions, and attendance was strong. Shelooks forward to an process that is shortened from years todays and weeks, referencing some master plan updates that

took a span of a few years to complete.The Department of Economic Development is helping

with additional promotion. In coming weeks, they will maiout postcards to Prince Frederick residents, posting information on the county website, Facebook and in the electronicnewsletter, according to Department of Economic Develop-ment spokesman Mark Volland.

Selman will participate in an interview with Comcastwhich will be featured in the newsmaker section on channe6, Volland said.

The Prince Frederick Charrette will take place June10 through 14 at St. Pauls Episcopal Church, located at 25Church Street in Prince Frederick. For more information, callSelman at 410-535-1600, ext. 2727 or visit www.co.cal.md.us

A team of Clydesdaledraft horses, giant animalswith prodigious strengthand weighing nearly a toneach, have made appear-ances at the annual Preak-ness horse race in Baltimorebut this time a hitch fromSt. Marys County will bemaking the trip.

Wayne Mast and his

son Danny will take theteam up to the famous racefor an entire week, theysaid, and preparations arecoming down to the fnaldays.

This will be our frstyear, Danny Mast said.We hope theyll continueto enjoy us.

The Masts found outjust a month ago that thefamous Budweiser Clydes-dales would not be able toattend the Preakness andthe organizers reached outto the Chaptico-based team.

While they were hon-

ored, the request set the clock ticking ongetting the 53-foot trailer ready to take halfa dozen horses up to the show for the enjoy-ment of the racing fans.

It usually takes two to three monthsto get horses ready for the show, Dannysaid, noting that horses had to be trainedand conditioned to pull as much as a ton ofdead weight in teams of two to get in shape.

Once they were conditioned to do thatpulling a wagon that weighed more than aton on wheels was more like play than workfor them, which is what they would be pull-ing at the Preakness.

Once there it will take the 10-personriding team four hours to groom the hors-es, braid their hair, harness them and thenhitch them to their wagon.

Well be coming in between racesand parading our horses in front of thegrand stands, Danny said.

The Masts have been dealing with

Clydesdales since 2001 and it came aboutas a personal request from a family mem-ber, Wayne Mast said.

We bought one at an Amish auctionin Pennsylvania for $1,000, Wayne said.My daughter wanted it.

The horse, who has become known asDoc, will remain on the farm for the restof his life they said as a valued and lovedanimal.

As impressive and as powerful as theyare Clydesdales are really gentle giants,Wayne said.

You just have to know how to dealwith them and dont get under hoof.

Theyre not aggressive, theyre notmean, Wayne said. Just dont let themstep on you.
