County Getting New Firehouse The Board of Calvert County Commissioners is agreeing to put up millions of dollars to replace one of the firehouses in Prince Frederick – but there are some strings attached.

A recommendation from Commissioner Mike Hart (R-District 1), aimed at keeping costs under control to provide a turn-key facility, was that any cost overruns be borne by the Volunteer Rescue organization.

Back on Nov. 1, 2016, the Board of County Commissioners held a work session to review and discuss the options and cost estimates for the replacement and/or renovation of the Prince Frederick Volunteer Rescue Squad (Company 4) building. The Board approved an option to build a new facility for Company 4 on their current site at an estimated cost of $7,245,000. It will be 21,314 square feet.

The Board previously adopted $3 million for the replacement and/or renovation of this facility in the FY2016 capital improvement plan.

General Services indicated they are able to bid the construction contract in April 2017 assuming all accords and contracts between the County and Company 4 are agreed upon and approved.

In order to bid this construction contract, the entire budget has to be available. Finance & Budget recommends funding the remainder of the Company 4 budget with general obligation bonds.

Staff recommended, and the BOCC agreed, to allocate $4,245,000 to proceed with the construction of this project.

The $4,245,000 is in the capital budget. Finance & Budget estimates a total of $1,645,700 in interest payments related to the financing of this project.

See Local Deputies on “Live PD” Several Calvert County Sheriff’s Deputies are now national TV stars after appearing on the “Live PD” show on A&E, the Arts and Entertainment channel. They credit one of the camera crews tagging along with them for actually helping to build a case against a drug suspect.

Deputy First Class Jeffrey Denton, one of the officers the camera crew joins on patrol, tells the Chesapeake Current, “During one of the most interesting stops we made, we were doing a K-9 scan of a man’s car for drugs, the officer turned his back, and the suspect spit something out on the ground. The camera was rolling and several viewers reported what they saw. The officer was able to go back to the scene and recover the drugs the man spit out because of this.” This happened on Crazy Horse Trail in Lusby, in Chesapeake Ranch Estates.

The crew has been riding along with sheriff’s deputies for six weeks now, and on Monday, A&E asked to renew, so they will be doing “Live PD” for another six weeks, through early April.

Contradictory to criticisms and complaints on social media, any overtime for deputies is paid by A&E, so it’s not costing Calvert taxpayers anything extra. Sheriff Mike Evans says he sees it as a good thing, and “transparency” so people can see what officers actually do every day.”

Denton adds, “We’re not out to get people, specifically lock people up just because we have a camera crew along.

Just the opposite. We are just out on patrol, doing our job, and the camera crew happens to be riding along.”

Even though the show claims it’s “live,” Capt. David Payne says it’s really not. “There’s a 29-minute delay. So we have about a half hour to see what happens and if it’s something that should not be shown on TV, we don’t

approve that segment being broadcast,” he adds. He says that to do the show, A&E has six camera crews nationwide doing ride-alongs with officers, and Calvert County is the first and only location where they have two crews.

They are riding along with officers during the week when some segments are filmed, and then on Friday and Saturday nights is when they do the nearly live shots when more may be going on.

One of the more exciting events and A&E crew caught on camera was a chase of a drug suspect in Sunderland and the cameraman caught him throwing drugs out the window of his car. Denton says the man was arrested off Dalrymple Road and they were able to recover the evidence.

Another incident that made it on the show happened at Beacon Marina in Solomons where a man barricaded himself on a boat for a short time before deputies convinced him to come out.

You never know what officers might encounter is the premise of the program. If you’re interested, tune in to A&E on Friday and Saturday nights at 9:00 p.m. to watch it “live.” You can also watch the previous episodes on the Internet at the A&E web site, www.aetv.com and click the menu for “shows” to find “Live PD.”

Local Files One Millionth Tax Return As the tax filing season reaches its mid-point, Comptroller Peter Franchot today announced that his office has processed more than one million tax returns.

The one-millionth return was submitted by a Calvert County tax filer.

To date, 1,037,311 returns have been processed. Comptroller Franchot urged Marylanders to e-file, as it’s the most secure and efficient way to submit a tax return. Most Marylanders who file electronically receive their state refunds within three business days.

“E-filing is the best and safest way for Marylanders to submit their tax returns,” Comptroller Franchot said. “My staff remains vigilant in the fight to identify fraudulent returns and tax fraud schemes and electronically filing allows us to more quickly process returns and get refunds back to taxpayers.”

Through expanded public outreach efforts by Comptroller Franchot, the number of electronic returns processed has steadily increased. Last year, the Comptroller’s Office processed more than 2.6 million returns electronically. Electronic filers represented about 84 percent of the 3.2 million personal income tax returns filed last year.

This year, the tax filing deadline is Tues., Apr. 18, rather than the traditional Apr. 15 date, which falls on a Saturday and is followed by the observance of Emancipation Day in Washington, D.C. Marylanders can file their state tax returns electronically through the state’s free iFile system, which can be accessed online at marylandtaxes.com. A list of other approved vendors to file electronically can also be found on the website.

Free state tax assistance is available at all of the Comptroller’s 12 taxpayer service offices, Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. For more information on any tax-related matter, visit marylandtaxes.com, call 1-800-MD-TAXES (1-800-638-2937) or (410) 260-7980 in Central Maryland, or email taxhelp@comp.state.md.us.

The Dominion Cove Point LNG Terminal in Lusby is looking to hire employees, and College of Southern Maryland students are interested.

Mike Monfalcone, senior human resources business partner with Dominion Energy, looked out at the classroom full of CSM students in Leonardtown the evening of Feb. 16. He walked over to one of them sitting near the front, “Why are you going to college?”

“To get an education,” the student said.

“Why do you want to get an education?”

Monfalcone prodded.

“To get a job.”

Monfalcone looked up. “Who else wants a job in here?” Everyone raised their hands.

“We wanted to come here tonight and tell you about some opportunities,” Monfalcone said.

He and a colleague, Tom Waybright, supervisor of liquefied natural gas (LNG) shift operations, spent close to an hour at the intern information session that was attended by CSM students from all three campuses.

Monfalcone and Waybright described Dominion Energy’s work at Cove Point LNG Terminal, going through graphics and photos of the operation - a plant that receives shipments of natural gas from overseas and then liquefies the gas for storage. Liquefied natural gas is natural gas that has been super-cooled to -260°F to turn it into a liquid. At that temperature, it occupies only 1/600th the volume of gaseous natural gas, so it’s much more efficient to store and transport. Work is in progress now to upgrade the plant to also start exporting domestic gas to customers in Japan and India.

Monfalcone and Waybright emphasized the opportunity Cove Point could represent to college students in Southern Maryland, especially those students studying nuclear engineering technology and computer science. It could mean jobs once students graduate from CSM with an associate degree. It could mean a student internship this summer. It could also mean participation in a new Cove Point LNG intern program that is expected to be initiated within the next couple of months that will create an opportunity for CSM students to work part time throughout the year, while attending school.

The Cove Point LNG facility is in the process of adding to its facility and doubling its work force at the site to support the plant’s future export capabilities. The business has chosen to foster its relationship with area educational institutions like CSM to create a stream of skilled

workers. The company’s intern program is also designed to make that connection with the future area workers. Monfalcone described how Cove Point summer interns were from Texas and Pennsylvania last year. “Obviously, I think there are a lot of great intern candidates here in the tri-county area,” he said. “We’re working hard to get the word out about these great opportunities.”

There are two intern positions currently available at the Cove Point facility - Intern Mechanical Technology and Intern Instrumentation and Controls Technology.

In addition, CSM students who are getting ready to graduate this spring were encouraged to consider applying for a regular full-time position.

Current CSM students who are expecting to graduate this spring can apply for posted associate operations or maintenance positions that require zero to two years of experience, according to Monfalcone. Starting salaries for these positions can be $50,000 or more. Student candidates will be considered in the same pool as other non-CSM applicants for these positions. A list of current job openings, some of which are these entry-level positions, at Cove Point was distributed to the information session attendees.

For information about intern opportunities with Dominion Energy at Cove Point, visit www.dom.com/student or call Mike Monfalcone at (804) 310-6557. For work opportunities, visit dom.com/careers. For information on CSM, visit csmd.edu.

Dominion Cove Point will participate in CSM’s 2017 Tri-County Job and Career Fair on March 28 at the La Plata Campus. For more information on the fair, visit csmd.edu/ student-services/advising/career-services/job-fair.

Input Sought for Preservation, Parks and Recs Residents are invited to share their vision for the future of Calvert County’s open spaces and parks at a Mar. 20 meeting on the 2017 Calvert County Land Preservation, Parks and Recreation Plan (LPPRP). The LPPRP is updated every five years in accordance with Maryland’s Program Open Space requirements, and helps county planners document key issues and goals to improve the county’s system of public parks, recreation facilities and natural resources.

Other topics to be discussed at the meeting include agricultural land preservation, natural resource conservation and cultural and historic resource conservation. The LPPRP meeting will be held at the College of Southern Maryland, Prince Frederick Campus located at 115 J.W.

Williams Road, Building B, Room 103, from 6-7:30 p.m.

“The Calvert County Land Preservation, Parks and Recreation Plan, along with the plans from other counties, are used by state officials to guide planning, funding and programs to meet land preservation, parks and recreation needs state-wide,” explained CPB Planner II Rachel O’Shea. “The LPPRP is supplemental to the Calvert County Comprehensive Plan, which is also currently being updated with significant citizen involvement.”

For additional information, or to share your opinion via an online survey visit co.cal.md.us/LPPRP or contact Rachel O’Shea at (410) 535-1600, ext.

2339 or email lpprp@co.cal.md.us.

Floating Dock Project Moves Ahead The county is moving forward with plans to install a floating dock at Lower Marlboro.

On June 21, 2016, the Calvert County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) authorized an application for a $30,000 National Recreational Trails Program grant to install a new floating dock onto the existing pier at Lower Marlboro Wharf.

The grant was awarded in the fall of 2016. The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) required for final approval has been reviewed for legal sufficiency by the county attorney. The MOU does not include a sufficient appropriation clause, therefore

obligating the Natural Resources Division to fund the required match.

The Natural Resources Division intends to allocate $6,000 in personnel costs to fulfill the required match that includes staff time to acquire permits and manage a contractor to install the floating dock.

The $30,000 grant requires 20% match of personnel costs; funding is available in the Natural Resources Division operating budget.

The BOCC voted unanimously at its meeting Mar. 7 to move forward with the project, which would provide the floating dock for public use and water access.

Archeology Project Forthcoming In an effort to preserve the history of Calvert’s first county seat, the Board of Calvert County Commissioners (BOCC) is applying for a grant for archaeological exploration.

As a Certified Local Government (CLG), Calvert County is eligible to apply for Federal funds through the CLG program administered by the Maryland Historical Trust. To date, Calvert County has been awarded 16 grants totaling more than $250,000.

The grant-maker suggests, but does not require a cash match. The County's match consists of county funds in the Historic District Commission budget.

Past products include The Money Crop: Calvert County after the Tobacco Buyout, among many others. The most recent projects supported by CLG grants identified and documented historic and archaeological sites threatened by flooding.

Calverton was the first county seat of Calvert County, laid out in 1658 along Battle Creek on the site of an earlier American Indian settlement.

Battle Creek has eroded the town site over time and the information the site still has is in danger of being lost to water and wind. Late this spring, the Archeological Society of Maryland will hold their annual field session there for two weeks of intensive archaeological investigation. It is important that the results of the excavation are fully analyzed, published, and shared. The county is applying for a grant for $25,000 to ensure that the analysis and processing of findings are complete, that a final report is written, and that a presentation is made to the public.

The results of the work will be shared in a public program guaranteed to draw interested citizens and encourage stewardship of our shared history.

The artifact collection will be curated at the Maryland Archaeological Conservation Laboratory where it will be available for study and to borrow for

exhibits.

A cash match of $4,000 consists of funds in the Historic District Commission budget and is included in the Calvert County Government Staff Recommended Budget for FY 2018. No additional funds are requested for this project from the County. The award of a grant agreement will be contingent upon the availability of funds from both the County and the State.

The BOCC unanimously approved the request.

Calverton, or Calvert Towne, was the first county seat of Calvert County, and was laid out in 1668 on an earlier Native American site. The earliest known plat of the town was drawn in 1682 by Robert Jones, surveyor. The plat shows a number of civic buildings along with dwellings, including that of the Taney family, ancestors of Roger Brooke Taney, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Among the other structures are a courthouse, chapel, jail, and dwellings of Berry, Taney, Cosden, and Banks. Two landings are also shown.

Calverton was one of the earliest towns in the Maryland colony. The council of Maryland met there and it was, by seventeenth-century reports, a bustling community, seat of government, and trade.

The Archeological Society of Maryland will hold the annual field session on the easternmost portion of Calverton in late spring 2017. The vulnerability of the site to erosion from rising water and storm surge increases the urgency of this project. Since Hurricane Sandy, at least five feet of shoreline has been lost along the portion of the site that will be investigated in the field session.

By May 1, 2018, all written products are to be submitted to Calvert County for review and by June 30, 2018, all deliverables complete and submitted to Maryland Historical Trust.

Crime Blotter Calvert County Sheriff’s Dept. Reports Sheriff Mike Evans would like the public to know the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office will be conducting increased patrols for impaired drivers during the St. Patrick’s Day weekend. These saturation patrols will be conducted throughout the county with an emphasis on those areas that have historically had a high number of impaired driving related crashes.

he approached the vehicle, he noticed the registration sticker had been altered with a marker.

He approached the driver, Nicholas Kaine, 37, of Owings, and asked for his registration. When Kaine opened the glovebox to retrieve his registration, an empty pill bottle with no label on it, was sitting in clear view. At this time Mr. Kaine was searched and a cut straw with powder residue was found in his front right shirt pocket. In the bottom of a book bag was a cardboard box with a spoon with white powder residue on it, a green towel was wrapped around a black digital scale, three additional glassine baggies were found.

Burglary Deputy R. Cress responded to Beach Elementary School on Feb. 27 in reference to a burglary. Upon arrival he made contact with a teacher, who observed a basket full of instrument strings, located on the ground outside of the music classroom. An unknown individual forced their way through a locked window and entered the classroom. A maintenance worker had completed an inspection of the property the day prior, at approximately 2:00 p.m. and did not notice the window opened at that time. Nothing else appears to have been stolen.

Destruction of Property On Feb. 27, Deputy T. Holt responded to Cross Point Dr., Owings, for the report of a destruction of property. He made contact with a member of the Home Owner’s Association who explained that someone had damaged numerous items at the neighborhood park. On Feb. 25, seven benches at the park had been damaged, the roof of the gazebo was damaged and two LED lights had been pulled from the ground near the entrance to the neighborhood.

Motor Vehicle Theft For the report of a stolen vehicle, Deputy N. Barger was dispatched on Feb. 23 to Discount Liquors, N. Solomon’s Island Rd., Huntingtown. He made contact with the victim who advised he parked his truck outside of the liquor store and intended to make a quick trip inside, leaving his truck unlocked with the keys in the ignition.

Once he exited the store he saw his truck being driven south on Hope Lane. A lookout was broadcast and his truck was found abandoned along the wood line on Wilson Rd., Huntingtown. There were multiple damages done to the vehicle: the roof ladder was damaged, causing the bed of the truck to shift, damaging the bed cover and one of the two back doors was broken off. Stolen from the truck were: a rear light, a red and black Coleman 9000 Generator (with a cold-cranking action), a black leather wallet (containing a MD driver’s license, credit cards and money) and multiple prescription medications.

Thefts Deputy K. Williamson responded to 10th St., North Beach, on Mar. 1 at 3:30 p.m.for the report of a theft. The victim explained that sometime between 9:00 p.m., Feb. 28 and noon Mar 1, someone stole a black Coach purse, Kindle Fire, white Michael Kors wallet, money and a credit card. The vehicle had most likely been left unlocked, as there were no signs of entry.

For a shoplifting in progress call on Feb. 28, Deputy J. Livingston responded to the Shoe Department store, in Prince Frederick. He made contact with a white male who had just walked into the Peebles store, matching the suspect’s description. He approached Ryan Hurt, 39, of St. Leonard, who exclaimed that he forgot to pay for the boots

Leonard. He was not hurt and refused treatment at the scene.

Luncheon Celebrates Local Women

Students Help End Hunger Dear Chesapeake Current readers, On behalf of the 15,000 people End Hunger feeds every year, we express a heart-felt thank you to Northern High School’s Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) students for their dedication and commitment to ending hunger in Calvert County.

For years, these student members have supported End Hunger as well as many other worthy causes in our county through their fundraising and charitable activities. The past two years, however, they’ve truly exceeded all expectations.

In all, 70 FBLA students served over 400 hours at The End Hunger Warehouse sorting bulk orders and food deliveries that were then distributed to our 44 Partner Feeding Organizations. They also helped prepare taxes for low-income people saving them thousands through our Calvert Cash free tax program.

Most impressive they won 2nd Place Nationwide against over 12,000 competitors in the Maryland Spring State Leadership Conference for the work they’ve done with End Hunger In Calvert County. Finally, these fine young men and women put together an event entitled The Give Where You Live Auction, which brought together businesses and amazingly raised over $12,000 to support End Hunger In Calvert County.

This is particularly significant because this success not only validates the very goals of the FBLA, but it demonstrates that, at least here in Calvert County, we are generating a crop of future businessmen and businesswomen who will not ignore their social responsibility to “love thy neighbor” while in pursuit of the American Dream.

ChesapeakeCurrent@gmail.com But rather, they understand and embrace our great national value that corporate success includes and demands corporate responsibility.

In short, they embrace the vales of #givewhereyoulive.

This should give all of us not only a great sense of pride in our young people, but also a great sense of confidence that moving forward, our county will continue to produce future generations who believe that in Calvert County we are all still family.

So, again we say thank you to the students, the faculty leaders, the local businesses and parents who joined forces to not only help End Hunger In Calvert County, but also to remind us that here in Calvert the flame of hope still burns high and strong.

Together We Can, Rev. Robert P. Hahn, CEO and Jacqueline Miller, President End Hunger In Calvert County Huntingtown Jacqueline Miller President End Hunger In Calvert County #givewhereyoulive jmiller@endhungercalvert.org Office: (410) 257-5672

Money Matters YOUR

Wills: True or False?

By Lyn Striegel I have often heard from clients that they have a Will so their loved ones will not have to go through probate. True or false?

False.

When you die, if you are holding property in your sole name, that property must go through the probate process to be distributed to your loved ones. It doesn’t matter whether you die intestate (without a Will) or with a Will.

What does holding property in my sole name mean? For real estate like your house or for cars and trucks, for example, the title to the property is in your name alone. If you hold any property this way and you die, then the property has to go through the probate process to be distributed to your loved ones.

The probate process in Maryland takes between 8-12 months. Why so long? One reason is that under the process, creditors are allowed 6 months to

come in and claim against an estate.

Another reason is pure chaos. When a person dies and a probate proceeding is required, the personal representative or executor has to find all of the person’s property in order to report on it to the Register of Wills. Since many people are not at all organized about what they own, the personal representative has to reconstruct the estate before they report on it.

One of the filings is called an “Inventory”.

This is a listing of all the property held by the deceased when they die. If the deceased has not been an organized person it can take a long time to figure out what they owned when they died. For example, if the deceased has not left a detailed list of investments they have, often the only way to know for sure what the deceased owns when they die is to wait for the mail for at least 3 to 6 months for quarterly or semi-annual reports on dividends or interest.

10 Thursday, March 9, 2017 Chesapeake Current

What does the probate process require? It is a process where filings are made detailing the assets and liabilities of the estate, the expenses of the estate and the monies left over to be distributed to the beneficiaries of the estate.

There is administrative probate, which is where the executor of the estate makes filings with the Register of Wills, or judicial probate, where the filings are made with the Orphan’s Court. If a beneficiary challenges the Will or any filings made by the personal representative, the matter goes to judicial probate where the Orphan’s Court judges decide on the challenge. Without challenges, most probates are administrative. To find out what filings are necessary in a probate proceeding, go to the Register of Wills website.

Some clients say that the personal representative has no liability for making filings in a probate proceeding. False.

The personal representative is a fiduciary—that means they are under a duty to settle and distribute the estate in accordance with the terms of the Will and the law. Fiduciaries cannot act in their own self-interest. They must make sure investments are reasonable and monitored and they must make full and accurate reports to the Register of Wills or Orphan’s Court.

Most people faced with the duties of a personal representative consult an attorney and ask them for help to prepare the reports for filing. This costs money in legal fees, but gives the personal representative some comfort that they are correctly performing their duties.

What about “registering” your Will with the Register of Wills. Clients have said that their Will is not effective because it has not been “registered” with the Register of Wills. False. A Will doesn’t have to be filed with the Register of Wills or the Orphan’s Court to be effective. If you think you will lose your Will, then paying a small fee to the Register of Wills office to keep your original on file is a convenience to you. Otherwise, the effectiveness of a Will depends on whether it is properly executed, not whether it is filed somewhere. You can keep your Will in a safe place. But, the original Will is necessary to open the probate proceeding so make sure your loved ones can find it.

Some clients have said “I don’t need a

Will because everything will go to my spouse when I die.” False. If you die without a Will and you have a spouse and children, then the estate (property held in your sole name) will go 50-50 to the spouse and the children. The only way your estate will go solely to your spouse when you die is if you have said so in your Will.

However, if all of your property is held in joint name with your spouse and you die then your spouse will take sole ownership of the property. And, there will be no probate because you have not held any property in sole name when you die. So, with a married couple, it is not unusual for one spouse to die and leave everything to the other spouse and have no probate. However, when the surviving spouse dies holding all the property in their sole name there will be probate.

If your Will says your personal representative doesn’t have to file a bond, that means no bond is required. False. Even if the Will says no bond, the Register of Wills requires a nominal bond be filed, usually costing the estate $100.

There is only one sure way to avoid probate and that is to use a Living Trust instead of a Will. With a Living Trust, all property of the deceased has been placed into the name of that person’s trust so that when they die there is no property held in sole name, so no probate. Living Trusts take more time than wills to create, but there is no court supervision when a person dies, property passes immediately to beneficiaries and there are no legal fees on death.

I’ll be speaking on these matters and more at a free seminar on March 16th from 6:30-8pm at Rod N Reel. You are cordially invited to attend. Call (301) 855-2246 to reserve your spot and learn more about probate, Wills, Revocable Living Trusts, Powers of Attorney, Living Wills and more.

By Bob Poston MS, CFT

The Best Exercise Program One of the most frequently asked questions I get as a Fitness Professional is; “What is the best exercise/program to do?�

My favorite answer is always; “The one that you will do.� There are so many different types of training programs out there and certainly, no one size fits all. So, you could say it is a different strokes for different folks type of approach that is taken when putting a program together. I want to share with you in this article a couple of the different types of training programs out there. Think about your own personal fitness goal(s) and see if one of these strikes a chord with you and that you feel may help you in your fitness journey.

Interval Training is a very popular format. This type of training is defined as training in which an exerciser alternates between two activities, typically requiring different rates of speed or degrees of effort. In simpler terms, it is alternating a higher intensity work period with a lower intensity work period. This also can make your workout period a faster one. You may have heard someone say they were exercising in a HIIT program, which is the acronym for High Intensity Interval Training.

HIIT training could be a running only based program or it could be used in your strength training program or both. In a running program, you would simply alternate walking/jogging with running. You always start with a warm up for about 5 to 10 minutes. Start out walking at a comfortable pace. This can vary depending on your fitness level.

If you are not on a treadmill where you may be able to check your heart rate, use the Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) to measure your intensity. This is a

scale of 0 to 10 with 0 being completely at rest, like sitting on the couch. Different sites will give you slightly different range definitions, but for the most part an RPE of 1 to 3 is measured as light exertion and an RPE range of 4 to 7 covers medium to moderate exertion. Once you feel like you are working hard you have crossed over to an RPE of 8 with your hardest effort hitting the top of the scale at 10. To put your HIIT program together, you want to be moving up and down this scale for different amounts of time at each level. A roughly 20 minute cardio workout, incorporating RPE, would look something like this: • Warming up for 5 minutes at an RPE of 2/3 • Take it to a jog for 30 seconds to 1 minute at an RPE of 5/6 • Fast walk or slow jog for 2 minutes at an RPE of 4 • Take it to a jog for 30 seconds to 1 minute at an RPE of 6/7+ • Fast walk or slow jog for 2 minutes at an RPE of 4/5 • Back to a jog for 30 seconds to 1 minute at an RPE of 6/7+ • Fast walk or slow jog for 2 minutes at and RPE of 4 • Walk to recover/cool down up to 5 minutes at RPE 2/3 A strength training program following this format could be time-based or rep based. I have performed both of these formats when working with my clients. A timed format will have them going as hard as they can, while maintaining form, for 30 to 60 seconds and then a recovery period. The time utilized is based on their fitness level and training experience. I recently took my coaches through an intense workout that involved only 7 movements.

This particular

format was designed by Todd Durkin of Fitness Quest 10 and is part of his IMPACT challenge.

My team worked for 60 seconds all out and had 120 seconds to recover and then performed the next movement. They repeated this format for all 7 movements. I will tell you that they were definitely feeling the IMPACT of this workout and it was only 21 minutes in duration. They had a 5 minute warmup and a 5 minute cool down. The total workout was 31 minutes and they loved it.

If I was doing a rep based workout, I would just replace the clock time with a rep count of 15 to 20 reps and then a recovery period.

Another popular format is Circuit based training. This too, can be done as a time based program or a rep based program.

A circuit is performing all the exercises set up the program and then repeating them one or more times. In this format, I like to have clients alternate between upper body movements and lower body movements. I have them make a complete run through the circuit that has been set up and then give them a recovery period where they perform a few stretches and get some water and then back in the circuit we go. I have them generally perform the circuit 3 times. The total number of movements in the circuit can vary. I have used as few as 5 exercises and gone as high as 9. I like picking the pace up in this format to promote to promote a cardio workout with their strength training.

These are just a couple of samples of the many different

training formats that are available for you to incorporate into your own training program. You can see from both of these that you do not need to spend hours in the gym. If time is a major influencer on your ability to get your exercise training done and you are in good shape, then a higher intensity, shorter training period may be a great option for you.

For someone who is more sedentary or it has been awhile since you have had a focused training routine, I would recommend starting out with less intensity and working a little longer to build yourself back up.

If you would like more information on designing a training program that will work for you, please give our training center a call, we would be more than happy to setup a time for you to meet with one of our awesome Certified Fitness Professionals.

I wish you awesome health and great success in your fitness journey.

What Is He Up To?

C

alvert County Sheriff’s Deputies are scratching their heads, trying to figure out what a local man was doing with lots of police gear – including an old cruiser – and a small arsenal including, stolen weapons.

Sheriff Mike Evans says Robert Paul Holland, age 25, who was arrested and being held, “is being very quiet, not talking much.” But it appears he wanted to impersonate a police officer, even though there have not been any local reports of him actually acting it out.

“We have had no complaints, zero complaints about him,” adds Capt.

David Payne. “Is it just that he is a wannabe cop? We don’t know yet.”

On Mon. Mar. 6, at 2:30 p.m. units from the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office Crime Suppression Team attempted to stop a black Crown Victoria on Dorsey Road in Prince Frederick for several equipment violations. The vehicle did not immediately stop, but instead continued to a driveway further down Dorsey Road.

The driver, identified as Robert Paul Holland of Prince Frederick, was observed reaching into other areas of the vehicle. A K-9 scan of the vehicle

Robert Paul Holland.

produced a positive alert indicating the odor of a controlled dangerous substance. No drugs were found.

However, a further search of the vehicle revealed a slew of other troubling items – many believed to be stolen: 1. Black collapsible ASP style baton 2. Empty 30 round .223 caliber magazine 3. Red and blue police-style light on the sun visor 4. Dash camera video recorder 5. Police-style flashing light for the rear window 6. Panasonic CF30 Toughbook 7. Binoculars 8. Speed loader pouch

On The

9. .223 caliber magazine with 17 rounds loaded (in the trunk) 10. AR-15 style stock (in the trunk) 11. Black rubber gloves Sheriff Evans says investigators are eager to see what’s on his dash cam, which may reveal more about what he was up to or his motives. They are obtaining a search warrant, and they also have the SD card from the dash cam as well.

Holland was arrested for possession of a dangerous weapon (ASP baton), and possession of ammunition by a prohibited person. Based on information learned during the investigation a search warrant was obtained for Mr. Holland’s residence on Macs Hollow Road, Prince Frederick.

On Tues. Mar. 7 at 12:30 a.m., a search warrant was conducted by members of the Criminal Investigative Bureau and the Special Operations Team. But while serving a search warrant of his residence, deputies seized his computer and turned up more police-related gear.

Capt. Payne tells us, “There is something going on here because he had the exact same computer set-up at home that we have here (at the Sheriff’s Dept.). And he had the bulletproof vest with the plates. And the baton - all of it is concerning.”

Sheriff Evans adds he doesn’t want to speculate on whether Holland might have had something sinister planned, “but if you have this much equipment, you have to assume someone might be up to something, and that something is no good.”

Several items were seized during the search warrant of his home, including a stolen Smith and Wesson AR-15 Rifle. Based on evidence seized at the residence, Mr. Holland was also charged with being in possession of a stolen firearm.

Holland was arrested while driving this black Crown Victoria, which was once used as a police car.

A further investigation is still being conducted into the bevvy of police-style equipment located in the vehicle and at his residence. Sheriff Evans says additional charges are definitely pending.

Holland also had in his car flashing police lights and this police baton.

Sheriff Evans said he’d like to remind all citizens to be aware of police impersonators and to contact the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office should they have any suspicious encounters. Evans added, “The arrest of this individual is the result of a collective effort between patrol, special operations, and investigative personnel.”
