Chesapeake Beach Holiday Lighting Budget DropsBy Crista DockrayStaff Writer

Holiday lights will be sparse this year in Chesapeake Beach.

Money for holiday lighting is taken from the property maintenance part of the budget. With the budget cuts to the General Funds for FY2016, the property maintenance budget dropped $50,000. This makes the once $250,000 bud-get drop down to $200,000, a $100,000 difference from the FY2015 budget of $300,000.

This drop of property maintenance budget affects the holiday lighting for Chesapeake Beach significantly as the town will be unable display the lights in the same way as years past.

According to the citizens at the Oct. 15 town council meeting, the holiday lights are part of their small town charm and they feel the lack of lights could af-

fect tourism and the general feel of the town during the holidays.

Town Councilman Bob Carpenter agreed with the citizens and felt the need to keep the holiday lights. In response, he proposed the Emergency Ordinance O-15-15. The ordinance on the Town Meeting Agenda reads, “Introduce and Vote on Emergency Ordinance O-15-15, an ordinance of the Town Council of Chesapeake Beach, Maryland amend-ing the adopted General Fund budget for the Town of Chesapeake Beach for the fiscal year from July 1, 2015 to June 30, 2016 to appropriate funds in the amount of twenty five thousand dol-lars ($25,000.00) from the unallocated General Fund Reserve and allocate such funds to the General Fund for holiday lighting.”

The General Fund Reserve is the $7.4 million the town holds.

In FY2015, the holiday lighting bud-

get was $65,000, however the town spent a total of $86,000. This year in FY2016, the mayor proposed the holiday lighting budget to be $77,000. With the budget cuts however, it was pushed down to $40,000.

The ordinance requested only $25,000 of the $37,000 needed to bring the budget back to the original FY2015 proposal.

Members of the audience asked that the $25,000 to be raised to $37,000 need-ed to keep their town they way the have come to know.

For an emergency ordinance to pass, it needs five council member votes. Coun-cilman Eric Reinhardt was unable to at-tend the meeting, so five of the six coun-cil members remained.

Councilwoman Valerie Beaudin op-posed the $37,000 but approved the $25,000. The rest of the council ap-proved of the raise except Councilman Jeff Krahling, causing the ordinance not

to pass. Krahling encouraged the mayor to look into using part of the $89,000 that, according to him, is not being used for repairs to Veteran’s Park.

Outcries from the citizens attending the meeting included, “bah humbug!” and “this is our town!”

As for the special events budget, or-dinance O-15-14, nicknamed the Santa Clause ordinance by Councilman Pat “Irish” Mahoney, was introduced at the same Oct. 15 meeting. This ordinance on the Town Meeting Agenda asks to “ap-propriate funds in the amount of seven thousand two hundred and fifty dollars ($7,250.00) from the unallocated Gener-al Fund reserve and allocate such funds to the General Fund for special events.”

This will be voted on at the next Town Council meeting on Nov. 19.

St. Mary’s County Commissioners Encourage Drug-Free Lifestyle During National Red Ribbon Week Ceremonies

The Commissioners of St. Mary’s County held two proclamation ceremo-nies to address a growing problem in Southern Maryland ... illegal drug use. Commissioners joined communities across America plagued by the numerous problems associated with illicit drug use and abuse and those who traffic in them in proclaiming the week of Oct. 23 through 31 as National Red Ribbon Week in St. Mary’s County.

The Red Ribbon Campaign, established by Congress in 1988, encourages a drug-

free lifestyle and involvement in drug pre-vention and education efforts. National Red Ribbon Week encourages Americans to wear a red ribbon to show their support for a drug-free environment

“There is hope in winning the war on drugs, and that hope lies in education and drug demand reduction,” said Com-missioner John O’Connor (3rd District). “This, coupled with the hard work and de-termination of organizations such as the Southern Maryland Young Marines, help to foster a healthy, drug-free lifestyle.”

Red Ribbon Week proclamations were also handed out to the Lance Corporal Caleb John Powers Young Marines. Dur-ing a separate ceremony staff from the St. Mary’s County Department of Aging and Human Services, Walden Behavioral Health, MedStar St. Mary’s Hospital, St. Mary’s County Health Department, St. Mary’s County Public Schools, St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Department, Healthy St. Mary’s Partnership, and the Com-munity Alcohol Coalition also received proclamations.

The theme of the 2015 National Red Ribbon theme is “Respect Yourself. Be Drug Free.” Governments and commu-nity leaders realize citizen support is one of the most effective tools in the effort to reduce the use of illicit drugs in commu-nities across the nation.

The commissioners urge all St. Mary’s County citizens to join them in this spe-cial observance now and throughout the year.

Domestic violence is a crime which violates an individual’s privacy, dignity, security, and humanity. Experts say this is attributable to the systematic use of physical, emotional, sexual, psychologi-cal and economic control and/or abuse including abuse to women, children and the elderly. In acknowledging the impact domestic violence can have on victims, the Commissioners of St. Mary’s Coun-ty have declared the month of October National Domestic Violence Awareness Month in the county.

Statistics indicate a woman in the United States is assaulted or beaten ev-ery nine seconds and nearly 20 people per minute are physically abused by an intimate partner. This equates to more than 10 million people per year. 1 in 5 women have been raped in their lifetime.

“On a typical day, there are more than 20,000 phone calls placed to domes-tic violence hotlines nationwide,” Said Commissioner John O’Connor (3rd Dis-trict). “1 in 15 children are exposed to intimate partner violence each year, and

90 percent of these children are eyewit-nesses to this violence.”

A confidential, coordinated commu-nity response through the St. Mary’s County Family Violence Coordinating Council, and agencies such as MedStar St. Mary’s Hospital, Southern Maryland Family Advocacy Center, St. Mary’s County Department of Social Services, Three Oaks Center and Walden Sierra are available to victims of domestic violence, dating violence and sexual assault.

In proclaiming National Domestic Violence Awareness Month, the com-missioners recognize the vital work being done by the St. Mary’s County Family Violence Coordinating Council and the St. Mary’s County Commis-sion for Women and urges citizens to work toward improving victim safety and raising public awareness about how to prevent, recognize and stop domestic violence.

Efforts Underway to Address Lack of Affordable HousingBy Sarah MillerStaff Writer

“This county is probably the poster child for home ownership,” said Housing Authority of Calvert County Executive Director Wayne Boyle.

In the light of the evictions at Hallow-ing Point Trailer Park, and the number of households who found themselves scrambling to find a new home, one thing became clear – there is a severe lack of affordable and workforce housing in Calvert.

More than 80 percent of residences in the county are owner occupied, Boyle said. And, according to Director of the Department of Community Resources Maureen Hoffman, it has become clear in the past three to four years, that that is a problem.

“Not everyone’s ready for homeown-ership,” Hoffman said, adding that the lack of affordable housing in the county doesn’t only affect young adults. Retirees and empty nesters often want to down-size, but have few viable options that would allow them to do so.

Some households have gotten help from the Housing Authority of Calvert County, but those resources are limited and there’s only so much the housing au-thority can do, and families and individu-als receiving help have to meet specific qualifications.

The housing authority is separate from the county government, Boyle said. The only legal relationship they have with Calvert is that the Board of Count Com-missioners approves the housing author-ity board and Calvert gives the housing authority a limited amount of funding every year. Most money for the Hous-ing Authority comes from the federal government.

The relationship the Housing Author-ity has with local government varies by jurisdiction, Boyle said.

In Calvert, 19.6 percent of households have an annual income less than $35,000 per year, according to information from the Calvert Housing Authority. Some households pay more than half of their monthly income toward rent, and 54 per-

cent of households pay more than 35 per-cent of their income toward rent, Boyle said.

“There’s a shortage of rentals,” Boyle said, adding that because the demand so far outstrips the supply, landlords can charge fairly high rent and know they’ll find a tenant.

The Calvert Housing Authority owns and operates 225 apartment units for se-nior citizens and 75 low-income, single-family homes. There are 400 vouchers available for low-income households to use for rent assistance. The housing au-thority is in charge of administering Sec-tion 8 programs, Boyle said, which in-cludes the rental assistance voucher pro-gram. Under the vouchers, the housing authority pays 70 percent of the monthly rent. There are vouchers available to vet-erans, low-income households, and to re-unite families who have been split up due to financial hardships.

Unfortunately, there is a long waiting list for vouchers. Right now, there are 537 households on the waiting list for vouch-ers. When the waiting list was closed in 2010, there were more than 1,000, Boyle said. The housing authority will reopen the waiting list this year.

There is an expectation that the market will level out and eventually there will be something for everyone, Boyle said, but the reason the Housing Authority exists is because the market doesn’t sort itself out.

“We have plenty of subsidized housing in Calvert,” said President of Built Rite Home Developers, Inc., Anthony Wil-liams. “What we don’t have is affordable housing.”

“The world is kind of set up for a two income household,” Boyle said.

When he was growing up, getting an apartment and setting up housekeeping on your own was a rite of passage similar to getting a driver’s license or a first car.

The change in the availability of afford-able starter housing has been gradual.

“It wasn’t like someone threw a switch sometime in 1987,” Boyle said, adding that the most dramatic increases in hous-ing prices have occurred since 2008.

In other jurisdictions, the county gov-ernment has applied for grant money to

renovate and rehabilitate existing hous-ing to create affordable housing. The problem is, in Calvert, there is no exist-ing housing that the county can take on, Hoffman said.

Williams has been working on a plan for the past few years to offer housing op-tions to people who are not ready, or able, to buy a house but are ready to move out of their parent’s homes.

“They always seem to be leaving the children out who graduate from college and high school and want to be here,” Williams said, explaining that both of his children wanted to remain in Calvert after they graduated from college, but couldn’t find affordable starter situations. Both moved back to the county when they were ready to start a family and had the money to purchase a house.

Williams has submitted plan to build four four-floor apartment buildings in Prince Frederick, which would house 230 units. The apartments would be similar to the Apartments of Wildewood in Cali-fornia, Md., and a number of buildings in Charles County. Every jurisdiction but Calvert has some form of high density, affordably housing that does not fall un-der the housing authority and is not sub-sidized, Williams said.

The new apartments would not be sub-sidized housing, Williams said. They would go for market value, between $1,300 and $1,600 per month, he said.

In a similar project, the Housing Au-thority received a five-acre piece of prop-erty in 2011 to build affordable housing. A small cottage community was de-signed, Boyle said, with approximately

30 homes that would be sold for between $160,000 and $220,000 each.

One of the biggest roadblocks for each project has been the Transferred Devel-opment Rights (TDR) program. The pro-gram, designed to preserve land and cen-tralize development in designated town centers, requires that potential develop-ers purchase five TDRs for every unit above one per acre. With TDRs being approximately $5,000 each, this quickly makes building high-density housing, such as apartments and townhouses, cost prohibitive for developers.

The county is currently working on re-vamping the TDR program to make it more user friendly, said Director of Com-munity Planning and Building Tom Bar-nett. The challenge is doing so in a way that doesn’t completely dismantle the program, which has been a template for similar state and national TDR programs.

In a recent recommendation to the Calvert Board of County Commission-ers, Community Planning and Build-ing recommended changing the number of TDRs required to build high density housing, requiring three TDRs for single family homes under 10,000 square feet, two for attached dwellings such as town-houses and duplexes, and one TDR per multifamily dwelling, which would in-clude apartment buildings, Barnett said.

Additionally, there are plans to ex-pand the town centers with public water and sewer capabilities (Prince Frederick, Lusby, and Solomons) to encourage addi-tional high-density housing. The county is currently seeking a contractor to assist with an overhaul of Calvert’s comprehen-sive plan and zoning ordinances.

The largest need is for the community to be involved, Barnett said. This includes coming out on election days, attending to government meetings, or even writing in to the county commissioners and Com-munity Planning and Building. The more input they get, the more closely the coun-ty can align future progress to the desires of the community, Barnett said.

Calvert Library is the recipient of a $7,500 Curiosity Creates grant from the Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC) to sup-port creativity programming. Over 400 United States libraries applied and 79 grants were awarded. The funding was made possible by a gen-erous donation from Disney. Other Maryland libraries receiving grants include Baltimore County, Carroll County and St. Mary’s County.

As noted by ALSC president, An-drew Medlar,

“Children are naturally curi-ous and the act of creating is vital to their development, so ALSC is particularly grateful to Disney and especially excited to offer this in-credible opportunity to support our members’ work in public libraries, where families can engage their cre-ativity unlike anyplace else in the community.”

According to Calvert Library Di-rector Carrie Plymire, “creativity is a critical skill needed to survive in our world where innovation is king. Creativity allows us to recognize needs, to see challenges in a new light and to problem-solve with fresh approaches. Fortunately, research has now demonstrated that creativ-ity can be taught. That’s what we’re doing at the library.”

Calvert Library is partnering with PaxSpace, Inc. to offer a four-part series of classes to teach the com-ponents of creativity—imagination, originality, flexibility, decision-making, communication, self-ex-pression, collaboration, motivation, action and movement. Plymire said, “We’ve developed a great partner-ship with PaxSpace and love the fun their members are able to bring to learning. Keeping learning fun and driving curiosity are important to Calvert Library so it was a natural partnership.” PaxSpace is a nonprof-it, member-operated Makerspace based in California, Md. They offer collaborative workspaces, tools and equipment related to art and technol-ogy. Their location currently houses electronics space, wood shop space and metal shop space. Their mem-bers provide inexpensive classes open to the community on tools, computer coding, 3D design soft-ware and more.

Some examples of easy activities to encourage creativity are creating a list of as many crazy uses as you can think of for a paper clip, tell-ing The Three Little Pigs from the wolf’s perspective, creating make-believe worlds complete with new rules for physics, or coming up with ways that two seemingly very differ-ent things are alike, like cats and ice-bergs. Each of these activities helps develop a component of creativ-ity and may appear in the Curiosity Workshop series.

In addition to funding the series, the Curiosity Creates grant will al-low Calvert Library to purchase a wide variety of toys, materials and prototyping tools that will encour-age all ages to give their creativity free reign. Some of the items ex-pected to be featured in this Curios-ity Collection include Keva planks,

Raspberry pis, Lego Mindstorms, SparkFun Inventors’ Kit, graph pa-per, duct tape, Arduinos and even a 3D printer. There will be oppor-tunities of library users of all ages to come be creative, said Calvert Library Public Relations Coordina-tor Robyn Truslow. Calvert Library will be looking at how other librar-ies utilize 3D printers and hopes are to implement it by the beginning of 2016.

To stimulate the creative process, there will be a Challenge Notebook that will include a variety of scenar-ios for which visitors will be able to offer solutions, perhaps prototyping with the materials in the Curiosity Collection. The challenges might be real-world like “Come up with five ways to keep deer out of the garden and share the pros and cons of each way”; or they may be more futuristic like “Your world is flooded. What will your living arrangements look like? How will you feed yourself?” Library customers will be encour-aged to add their own challenges to the notebook. Exciting challenges and solutions will be posted on the library Facebook page. And while the grant focuses on ages 6 to 14, Calvert Library is encouraging in-novators of all ages to join in.

Plymire added, “The library has always provided resources for prob-lem-solving, whether it be for indi-viduals or community. We start as early as infancy with our Imagina-tion Stations which encourage cre-ative play. We continue with lifelong learning opportunities for all ages. With this project, we’re taking it a couple steps further.” According to the research paper on which the cur-riculum for the Curiosity Workshop series is based, children, especially before 4th grade, are actually bet-ter able than adults to think outside the box and come up with creative solutions to sticky problems. Calvert Library Youth Coordinator Beverly Allyn Izzi puts the research in lay-man’s terms. “Young children are much less influenced by peer pres-sure and getting the answer ‘right.’ That’s why a five-year-old can carry on a detailed conversation at a teddy bear tea party and why a big, empty cardboard box can become almost anything! If we can all learn to nur-ture creativity by encouraging skills such as flexibility, self-expression, collaboration... we will have a much more resilient and innovative popu-lation prepared to solve the problems of the future.”

“Annmarie Sculpture Garden and Arts Center wanted to expand their classes and they wanted a class dealing with metal smithing. They reached out to me to teach the class so I did, and the class is called Stackable Sterling Silver Rings,” said instructor Tricia Hall of her class at Annmarie Sculpture Garden and Art Center.

Annmarie Sculpture Garden and Arts Center is hosting an event called Stackable Sterling Silver Rings.

“They have actually offered this class before but it really never held together as it is now,” said Hall.

Hall owns her own shop in Calvert County called “The Bead Boutique,” started in 2003. Tricia has been teaching through Calvert County and St. Mary’s County Parks and Recreation programs and ever since then she has emerged herself in classes from master jewelers around the county. She began metal smithing classes 32 years ago and started stringing 26 years ago. Now she has had her jewelry in several art galleries in Calvert and St. Mary’s counties, as well as at Artsfest.

Annmarie is an area surrounded by 30 acres of ground supported by the Board of Calvert County Commissioners and they are committed to connecting people to art with nature through a wide variety of en-gaging exhibits, programs, classes, public projects, and

annual events, Annmarie opens up opportunities for creativity, collaboration, and reflection. By providing opportunities for visitors to experience and engage in imaginative activities, Annmarie seeks to nurture the human spirit and contribute to a healthy society.

“If people in the community take this class then they will learn basic metal jewelry techniques (metal smith-ing, torch soldering, texturizing) to create four differ-ent ring designs. Each kit includes supplies to create 4 rings per person,” said Hall.

There is no experience needed for this class. This class is just for fun and to learn something new, that’s why Annmarie wanted to start it because people are being engaged with art by taking creative classes.

“Annmarie felt that if the people in the community came to this class, then they would learn something new out of it and that’s very creative and they could maybe do something with it,” said Hall.

This class will be held at Annmarie Sculpture Gar-den and Arts Center on Sunday, Nov. 1. It starts at 1 p.m. and ends at 4 p.m. For members the cost is $40 and for nonmembers the cost is $45 and for the materials fee is $40 due to the instructor at class. For more infor-mation, visit www.annmariegarden.org/annmarie2/ or call 410-326-4640.

The Calvert Hospice Board of Directors is pleased to announce Jean Fleming, Ed.D, RN, as the Interim Executive Director for Calvert Hospice.

Jean has served on the Board of Directors for Calvert Hospice for three years, most recently serving as Trea-surer and as Chair of the Quality Assurance and Per-formance Improvement Committee. She had served as a hospice volunteer almost 10 years ago and has never lost her commitment to the mission of providing com-prehensive, compassionate care for people through the end of life. She recently returned to school and became an RN, deciding that she could be of most value to pa-tients and families by supporting the nurses, aides, so-cial workers, and other staff who provide direct patient care.

In 2015, Jean also earned a certificate in Population Care Coordination from Duke University. She holds a doctorate in Educational Leadership and Policy Stud-

ies from the University of Northern Colorado and has nearly 40 years of experience working in the field of adult and continuing education, including as a graduate faculty member and non-profit executive director. She is the current president of the American Association for Adult and Continuing Education, an international as-sociation with over 800 members.

Locally, Jean has served on the board of Asbury-Sol-omons and continues to serve on the Calvert County Commission on Aging. She volunteered at Calvert Me-morial Hospital for four years before becoming the pa-tient advocate for the Emergency Department in 2014. Her husband, Dr. Richard Fleming, is Vice-President and Dean of the Prince Frederick Campus of the Col-lege of Southern Maryland.

Former track champion Kyle Lear closed the 2015 season at Potomac Speed-way with his win in last Saturday nights 30-lap “Kevin Cooke” memorial Limited Late Model event. The win for Lear, worth $1222, was his first feature win of the sea-son and his career 17th at the speedway.

Derrick Quade and Kyle Lear shared the front row for the start of the event with Lear zipping into the lead as the field roared into turn one. Quade chased Lear for 25-circuits and was attempting to make a bid for the lead until he spun from contention on lap-26. 2015 track champion Daryl Hills then took up the chase giving Lear all he could handle. A lap-29 yellow set the stage for another epic Potomac fin-ish as Lear and Hills ran side by side when the green came back out with Lear squeak-ing out the win by two car-lengths at the start/finish line aboard his Rocket no.151. “That yellow saved us,” Lear stated dur-ing his post race interview. “We had a leak in the radiator and it was pushing water on the right front tire and I was having trouble keeping the car where I wanted it.” Lear said. “I saw Daryl get along side us and I was in trouble because we pushed up a bit and he was able to roll the outside, but I guess luck was on our side here tonight.” Brandon Long was solid taking third, 13th starting Kenny Moreland was fourth with Bruce Kane rounding out the top-five. Heats went to Hills and Lear.

Logan Roberson notched his third win of the season in the 30-lap RUSH Crate Late Model event. Roberson started on the pole and would lead the distance to take the win steering his MasterSbilt no.17R. “The track was in great shape tonight and we were lucky enough to start on the front-row,” Roberson stated. “We planned on going to Natural Bridge (Va) speed-way tonight but they cancelled early this morning and I’m pretty glad we made the decision to come up here tonight.” Darin Henderson, Darren Alvey, Cody Dawson and John Imler trailed at the finish. Heats went to Dale Hollidge and Darren Alvey.

Mike Franklin put an exclamation point on his championship season with his win in the 35-lap “Josh Gass” memorial Street Stock feature. The win for Franklin was his 12th of the season at Potomac and his overall 30th of the season wheeling his po-tent ARC Race Cars no.74. Franklin out-dragged fellow front row starter Stephen Quade to the first corner at the start and would eventually lead all 35-laps, pocket-ing the hefty $1450 winners check. “Well, our goal was to get to 30 wins and we got it done,” said Franklin. “We were lucky enough to start on the front-row tonight, and we had the car pretty decent and this is a great way to end our season.” Quade, Barry Williams Sr., Jasen Geesaman and Walt Homberg rounded out the top-five. Heats went to Franklin, Quade and Kyle Nelson.

In support class action Wesley Givens was declared the winner of the 25-lap “Jim

Gardner Sr.” Hobby Stock event as appar-ent winner Jerry Deason denied a post race inspection. Ray Bucci and Ed Pope Sr. split twin Strictly Stock features with Jason Wilkins copping the pair of U-Car events.

This upcoming season is full of spooky Halloween activities to do around town. The award winning Twin Beach Players (Best Theatre Co. Bay Weekly Readers 2013) have been work-ing on a play for the community to en-joy during the season. Their 17th sea-son is ending with “The Island of Dr. Moreau” to give the audience an active experience of chills in their seats.

This thrilling and exciting play con-sists of the story about the distinction between men and beasts.

The story starts off with an upper class man named Prendick, who has been shipwrecked in the middle of the ocean. Prendick comes into con-tact with a doctor named Montgomery that works for a ship which is set on an unknown island. Once arrived on the island, the captain of the ship and Doctor Moreau refuse to have Pren-dick, so they decide to leave him. In-stead of leaving him, the captain and doctor take pity and go back for him. Montgomery introduces Prendick to Doctor Moreau, who has been doing research on the unknown island. The crew houses Prendick on the ship along with the other crew members and ani-mals aboard.

To find out the rest of the thrilling story, the Twin Beach Players would like to invite the community to the Boys and Girls Club, located at 9021 Dayton Ave. North Beach, Md. The play will be shot on Oct. 16, 17, 23, 24 and 30

at 8 p.m., along with a special showing on Oct. 31 at 9 p.m., and Sunday mati-nees on Oct. 18 and 25 and Nov. 1 at 3 p.m. There will also be free popcorn to guests who arrive in costume.

For more information about the show visit www.TwinBeachPlayers.com. Tick-ets are available online and at the door.
