By Sarah MillerStaff Writer

Two hours, 11 candidates, seven questions. The Calvert County Chamber ofCommerce invited the Calvert County commissioner candidates to address commu-nity concerns during an Oct. 1 candidate forum.

Questions asked ranged from how the candidates would strive to make CalvertCounty business friendly to their opinions on signage in the area and the state prior-ity funding areas.

A number of the candidates are small business owners or have shopped at localbusinesses. Businesses would benet from having signage visible from Route 2/4.Current Board of County Commissioners President Pat Nutter said the time has longsince passed for the county to update the ordinance governing signage. Candidate

Mike Hart said he supports ordinances that allow all businesses equal opportunity toadvertise, without giving preferential t reatment to once business over another.

Opinions about the former Calvert Middle School property were varied. Can-didate Paul Harrison said the county needs to be smart about what is done with the

proper ty, suggesting part of i t be transferred to the State Highway Administ rationto widen Route 2/4 in Prince Frederick. Candidate Tom Hejl disagreed, saying thecounty should lease the property out so it will bring in revenue.

Commissioner candidates will have another opportunity to answer questions atthe League of Women Voters forum at St. John Vianney Church in Prince Fredrickat 6 p.m. on Oct. 16.

A History of ExcellenceHuntingtown NJROTC Unit Strives to Maintain High Rating


The Navy Junior Reserve Ofcers Training Corps(NJROTC) unit at Huntingtown High School received the dis-tinction of being the best in the Mid-Atlantic Region, and they

are working hard to maintain their high standard of excellence.Their distinction came following a thorough inspection,

which ranged from a personnel inspection to checking suppliesand ensuring everything is stored as it should be, accordingto retired Chief Warrant Ofcer and Naval Science InstructorChris Morgan.

The inspection was only a small part of earning their dis-tinction, Morgan said. The rest was attributed to the NJROTCsinvolvement in their community and the activities they are in-volved in.

The company participates in a number of volunteer activi-ties, said Cadet Lieutenant Commander Zachary Barhan. Ac-tivities include Operation Hope on the Chesapeake, the Patux-ent River Appreciation Days parade, Farming for Hunger, Toysfor Tots and the Charlotte Hall Veterans facility.

In addition to volunteer opportunities, students can be involved in camping and orienteering trips, air rie competitionsand academic competitions, among other activities, Barhansaid.

The NJROTC is designed to produce civic-minded leaders, according to Retired Chief Petty Ofcer and Naval Science Instructor Kevin Peck. This involves giving back to thecommunity, he said, adding that while the NJROTC is a goodgateway into a career in the military, students are not requiredto join the military due their involvement in the NJROTC.

Earning the distinction of best in the region raises the barMorgan said.

Teachers all over the county are working to prepare studentfor college and careers after graduation, and the Career and TecCenter is an integral part of making that happen.

We do our very best to prepare them [students] for whatnext for them, said Career and Tech Center Principal MarWilding.

Most of the programs at the career and tech center have certicate to be obtained at the end of the program, Wilding saidFor example, Academy of Health Professions students sit for theiCertied Nursing Assistant or Geriatric Nursing Assistant exam

before they graduate. Cosmetology students sit for the state cosmetology exam, which includes theory and practical portions.

Earning certicates does a couple things for students, Wilding said. Nursing students can get a job at a hospital or nursingcenter and work their way through college. Not every student icollege bound, but they graduate ready for the future, Wildingsaid. Some programs ensure that students graduate with the credentials to get into a trade school or apprenticeship program.

The school ensures that students are working with up-todate machinery, computers, and programs, Wilding said. Teachers bring in eld experts to talk to their classes, and students geexperience in building their resumes and interviewing.

Nobodys standing still, Wilding said.The Career and Tech Center gives students an opportunity

to try out a career eld without putting down thousands of dollars. It saves time and money for the students, Wilding said. Theysit down with students and go over the options open to them, andhelp guide them in the direction they are best suited for and mosinterested in.

Business in the Front, Politics in the BackHow the Board of County Commissioners Function Like a BusinessBy Lauren Procopio

Staff Writer

Calvert County Commissioners Steve Weems, PatNutter and Evan Slaughenhoupt, talked about the differentfacets of the Commissioners Board and how it goes beyondpolitics.

Its political to get the position, but I think once yourein the position you have to try and set that al l aside, Slaugh-enhoupt said.

The commissioners attend various presentations, rib-bon cuttings, proclamations and events in the county.

There are a lot of people who think its, oh they meeton Tuesday, thats it, but actually the job star ts usually Sun-day night about 9 p.m. and ends the following Sunday nightat about 8:59 p.m., which it begins to start again, Nuttersaid. We spend a lot of time at different functions that peo-ple expect us to and we spend a lot of time during the weekspeaking to different groups, so its a job that you always

seem to have something to do. I mean were booked almosteveryday. Its one thing or another. Its an everyday job, hecontinued.

Nutter said he spends at least once a month meetingwith the board presidents from St. Marys and CharlesCounty. Slaughenhoupt also added how citizens dont seethe various meetings the board has in the morning and theother concerns the commissioners have to address.

There are probably 70 or 80 various volunteer boardsand commissions that we sponsorand a lot of us com-missioners serve as the board of representatives on thosecommissions, Slaughenhoupt said. So we have meetingsthroughout the week on these various commissions andthey generally dont get any press or attention, but its a lotof time and work on those things as well, he continued.

Weems addressed how the board is like a business, es-pecially with nances.

Our primary objective is the appropriation of taxpay-

er funding and for me, its best use. It really is like a busi-ness in a sense that the revenue is derived from our incometaxes and from our property taxes, property taxes accountfor 60 percent and then 30 percent income tax and roughly10 percent from other sources. You got on the one-side rev-enue, one-side expenditures, Weems explained. Its justlike your household you dont overextend your budget andyou live within your means.

Another major concern for the commissioners is thedevelopment of the countys master plan, which Slaughen-houpt said is the main, top document for the county.

We have staff people who basically pull it together,but its done by input and meetings with different com-munity members, community organizations and interestedcitizens, who participate in that. Then it gets vetted through

a process so it becomes an ofcial document that the com-missioners adopt on behalf of the county, Slaughenhouptsaid. It really does end up the more active the citizens arethen the better, the more clear the guidance for us to followbecause we are implementing what the citizens want, not somuch necessarily what we want.

This all comes together based on whats good for thepeople and what you can do with that particular area, Nut-ter added.

The Board of Commissioners also functions like abusiness in a sense that the commissioners all show respectand professionalism to one another, which is not found inevery body of government.

I had a self-goal coming in, because the previousboard had personalities that had a lot of conict amongthem, for me the overriding goal was to try to make surethat even if there were disagreements and even if I was theonly one that wanted something and didnt get my way to

let it drop, because its more important to serve the citizenin a more collaborative, a more professional, a more personable type manner with the fellow commissioners, Slaughenhoupt explained.

Just like a business where the management or ownerstay in contact with their customers, the commissioners always are in contact with their constituents.

You see this ipad, each one of us has it, it allows us tostay in touch continuously it is a primary means of communication with constituents, we receive a lot of emails andI can respond almost instantly, Slaughenhoupt said. Nutteadded they receive roughly 65 to 100 emails a day.

The Calvert County Commissioners have a meetingevery Tuesday morning at 10 a.m., which is open to thepublic. Their ofce is located at 175 Main Street in PrincFredrick.

Re: Letter to the Editor, Calvert CountyTimes, Sept 18 Issue, "Kullen vs. Fisher"

I was so glad to hear of Sue Kullen's respect-ful responsiveness in regard to Lynne Gilles'and her very important animal rights issues. Ms.Kullen certainly seems like a very nice lady.

Unfortunately, I have to say that I have beenmore impressed by Sue Kullen's record of beinga tax and spend Democrat over the years. It wasSue Kullen who put in her own Rain Tax, votedfor the Gas Tax, voted for a Bill that has beenrecently proposed, the Mileage Tax. She alsovoted for the Car Registration Tax, the Income

Tax Hike, the Sales Tax Increases & the Tax onElectricity.

What's next? The Chesapeake Bay ViewTax! (Oh, we already have that one.) How about

a Personal Space Tax? A tax on Breathing?! I'mnot sure we can afford Ms. Kullen anymore.

I nd Mark Fisher to be a reasonable, kind,of good character and a good leader as well. I

believe Calver t County will have a better chancestaying with Mark Fisher, tax wise. My husbandand I are retirees. Mark Fisher wants to eliminatetaxes on retirement income so we can stay in ourhomes and enjoy retirement here on the Bay andnot have to move because of the tax burden.

That's important to us and a lot of other Cal-vert County residents. We are both voting forMark Fisher for Delegate in November.

Clare O'SheaChesapeake Beach

Here is a thought for all independent-minded Calvert Countyvoters. Lets forget any party afliation or labels for a moment andthink about what is best for our county. Let's do some political cal-culus. In November, 2014, we will again vote for who will be ourdelegate to Annapolis. The campaign is afoot.

In a comparison of Sue Kullen and the current delegate, whichone has a proven track record of getting things done for our countyin Annapolis? Look at Sue Kullens record from 4 years ago. Ms.Kullen was able to get legislation passed and gain additional fund-ing for our county. Look at her opponent who had zero pieces ofsignicant legislation passed during his term. Ms. Kullen wouldsit at the table with the dominant legislative leaders. Her opponentdoes not and never will.

Between the 2 candidates, who was moving up the leadershipladder into positions that control the ow of legislation in Annapo-lis? In her term 4 years ago, Sue was voted head of the Women'sCaucus and the word on the street was that she was soon to beappointed to a committee leadership position if she had not beendefeated by folks who voted straight Republican without reallythinking about what was best for our county, voting based on angerdirected at a national political gure. What inuential leadershipposition is the current Republican delegate in line for. None is theanswer.

For the last 70 years, little old Calvert County has been blessedwith powerful representatives in Annapolis, rst Mr. Louis Gold -stein and now Sen. Mike Miller. Who is more likely to replace Mr.Miller as a respected and inuential member of the dominant po -litical party and thus be able to best look out for our county? Theanswer is clear and easy - Sue Kullen. You may not like the way itworks but it is what it is. Plus, Ms. Kullen is a true public servantwho sees government service as a worthy aspiration for the rightreasons.

I know that a certain percentage of the New Republicans onlycare about certain issues and will only vote for a candidate whoparrots what Tea Party faithful want to hear. Other Republican-leaning voters may miss their Republican political gures such asReagan and the Bushes but I believe these Reagan Republicans willbe smart enough in this next election to vote for the right candidatefor the long term benet of our county - Sue Kullen. Put Party asideand vote Calvert First.

One nal piece of calculus - Southern Calvert County maywell continue to vote Republican, the overwhelmingly minoritystate party. So, if both Calvert County delegates are from the mi-

nority party, and our one majority representative will be our statesenator, currently Sen. Miller who will eventually retire, who willreplace him?

Remember, more voters in his district are from counties otherthan Calvert? It will most likely be a candidate from one of thosecounties who will not really need to pay as much attention to us. So,you swing voters, if you vote for the current Republican delegatein 2014, where does that leave us in 2018? There is an old countrysaying about being the last calf to feed at a mother cow - that iswhat Calvert County will be doing. We need at least one of our staterepresentatives to have real inuence.

For me, this calculus is not necessary. Knowing Sue is to knowshe is the type of independent, hard-working, caring public servantthat I want representing my county for many years to come. Foryou independent and Calvert First voters, do the math, vote for SueKullen on Tuesday, November 4, 2014.

For All CalvertCounty Folks

I have knocked on thousands of CalvertCounty doors in the last 14 months and havelearned a lot about our community and your con-

cerns. What I have heard from so many of you Democrats, Republicans and especially Indepen-dents is how weary you are of all the arguing,the mean-spiritedness and the distortions of our

politics today. In the last days of this campaign,were seeing it in discussion about a so-calledvehicle mileage tax.

An Oct. 2 letter-to-the-editor titled 2009Law Leads to 2014 Decision implies that Iwould support such a device in order to addressclimate change. Never mind that no such leg-islation exists. Forget for a moment that such adevice came up only as an option for consider-ation in a 2012 Department of Transportationreport when I wasnt even in ofce.

Had I been in the General Assembly twoyears ago, I would have advised the bureaucratsthat they were wasting their ink. It is counterpro-

ductive to even suggest placing such a burden onthe people of Calvert County, many of who dr ivemany miles to make a living.

If a so-called mileage tax ever does comeup while I am representing you in Annapolis, Iwill ght to kill it and I wil l win because of my

proven ability to bring people together to suppor tgood ideas for Calvert County and to get rid ofthe bad ones.

We have less than a month before ElectionDay. Unfortunately, some people treat electionsas a war and are willing to do or say anything toget their candidate elected. I caution everyoneto be alert to distortions and false choices. Thisis not a war, it is a choice. Feel free to contactme directly if you have questions about my posi-tions. My contact informat ion is on my website,www.SueKullen.com

CommunityDomestic Violence

AwarenessBy Lauren ProcopioStaff WriterOctober is the ofcial month for domestic violence awareness and Calvert County is raising awareness

about this growing issue. The Crisis Intervention Center has partnered with the Calvert County Commissiofor Women to address this g rowing problem. Chair for the Calvert County Commission for Women MargareDunkle explained how domestic violence is not only a n issue for women, but men as well.

Men are most often the abusers and men need to understand that real men dont hit women, she saidLast year we had a guy who spoke after being an abuser and came to realize what he did was w rongothemen can play an important role in telling the guy next to him its not okay to hit, abuse, demean or be violento the women in your life, she continued.

The Crisis Intervention Center has helped 900 people this year alone and has received at least 10,000calls. According to Dunkle, it is a h igh statistic for a county with less than 100,000 people.

Domestic violence is a serious issue that, sadly, affects too many. Last year, Amanda Foster of Lusbywas stabbed to death by her boyfr iend, and the State Attor neys Ofce prosecuted almost 400 cases of domestic violence in Calvert County, Dunkle said.

A lot of people dont know this happens and it can happen to anyoneI think were becoming more

aware and less tolerant for it, but its not a new issue. You cant eliminate something if you dont talk about itrecent stories help focus the issue and talk about it, Dunkle said.Dunkle encourages anyone who is a victim of domestic violence to seek help and to talk to someone you

trust.Theres nothing to be ashamed of if you have been abused, she said.There will be three events during the month of October for Domestic Violence Awareness. On Saturday

Oct. 18 the Prince Frederick Library will host a panel discussion, In Your Own Voice, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.mfor survivors of domestic violence. On Monday Oct. 27that 7 p.m. there will be a candle light vigil, which wilstart in the cour tyard of the Calvert County Circuit Court. A community forum, Real Men Talk will be helOct. 30 at 7 p.m. at the Prince Frederick Library and this is event is strictly for men. If you or someone yoknow is a victim of domestic violence call 410-535-1121 or 301-855-1075.

The Calvert County Parks and Recreation held their Master Plan meeting Thursday Oct. 2 at 7 p.m. at theNortheast Community Center in Chesapeake Beach. The meeting updated residents on the plan for the parkwhich will be located on Ward Road in Dunkirk.

According to the Press Release from Parks and Recreation, the 209-acre land was purchased with fundsfrom the Calvert County Youth Recreational Opportunities Fund, which is a state grant administered by theDepartment of Natural Resources.

The meeting allowed citizens to comment and give their ideas for the new project; a major concern was

the increase amount of trafc the park will bring. Landscape Architect Charlie Bailey of Mahan Rykiel Associates said at this point in the process they are not looking at tr afc problems and a trafc study wi ll occufurther in the future.

Parks and Recreation Division Chief Doug Meadows discussed the ste ps Parks and Recreation wil l haveto take before any construction of the park can begin.

Once the commissioners have blessed it then it goes to the planning commissioners who will bless itonce the planning commissioners bless it that gives us the ability to start looking at development. So theyrgoing to approve it as a plan. So theres still a process before we would stick the rst shovel in the ground,Meadows said. The day you decide to do it and have the money in your hand you still got two to three yearuntil things happen. So were looking at a real long-term, logically stepped progression over time, Meadowsaid.

The name for the new park has not been decided and citizens gave their ideas for a new name at the rspublic hearing in June. Bailey said suggest ions for the name have been related to the cultu re, environmenand animals of the area. Bailey also said the new park will not have tennis courts, but will have ball elds

playgrounds; disc-golf course; pave, gravel and nat ural surface t rials; a natu re center; picn ic facil ities; a dogpark; pavilions for an educat ion faci lity and boa rdwalks to the water features of t he park .

The Master Plan for the park will be presented to the County Commissioners Oct. 21, which will then beeither approved or disapproved.

Disaster-Resilient HomesStart With Concrete Walls

A home today must be more than justaesthetically pleasing. The costs of fuel con-sumption and extreme-storm damage, pluscosts in the way of carbon footprints, aremaking all of us insist on far more property

benets, including superior durability andresilience from pending disasters.

In that case, open the door to a homebuilt with concrete reinforced walls, insteadof wood, and see how you will receive great-er safety, comfort, investment value, and en-ergy efciency, says Todd Blyth at Nudura,a leading name in building technology.

Concrete is a major solution for weath-er extremes, and for more than a decade now,the building system using ICFs (insulatedconcrete forms) has proven to deliver themost durable building frame.

The ICF principle is simple, Blyth says.The walls are constructed with pre-as-

sembled, interlocking units (similar to Lego),so theyre easily transported to any build-ing site. Each form consists of two panels ofthick foam (expanded polystyrene) connect-ed with a patented web system. Guided bythe architectural design and beauty aspectsyou request, the ICFs are stacked, steel rein-forced, and lled with concrete until the en-tire building envelope is complete.

Heres a snapshot of additional buildingbenets:

Disaster-resilient: ICF walls withstandwinds of up to 402 kilometers per hour and

give you a re protection rating as long asfour hours.

Energy efciency: Premium insu-lation delivers an energy-efciency rat-ing as high as R-50 due to the thermalmass of the concrete (compared to anaverage R-20 in wood structures), andthat equates to reducing household en-ergy bills by as much as 70 percent. Andif optional inserts are added to the ICFforms, this efciency is improved evenmore.

Occupant comfort: Outside cold

can easily travel through the typicalwood-framed wall, causing uneventemperatures inside your home. How-ever, the monolithic ICF wall eliminatesdrafts and cold spots and it is an effec-tive sound barrier, ltering out unwant-ed noise.

Green living: Concrete is a sustain-able material; trees are not needed; thesystem uses only recycled polymers andsteel; the building process creates lesswaste than traditional methods; and theoccupants use fewer fossil fuels for amuch smaller carbon footprint.

Short- and long-term value: A con-crete home is built to last and retain itsvalue longer. In the short-term, the supe-rior durability of concrete walls requireless maintenance, repair and money tomaintain than wood structures.

Ray and Phyllis say, This art show reectsour vision of the art of people at different timesduring their journey. At each migration point,settlements were formed and art evolved. Naturalselection forces created diversity in their bodies,their beliefs and their behavior.

The Journey of Man show is about the artwhich tracks the migration of man from the GreatRift Valley in east Africa to all points on the

planet. The migration began 150,000 to 200,000years ago and was followed by the gradual devel-opment of language, religion, civilization and art.

Their journey took place during an era whenthe planet was undergoing incredible changes in-cluding ice ages, changes in sea level, and unpre-dictable weather. Disease, predators and war con-spired against them and inuenced their journey.
