Calvert County Sheriff Mike Evans has announced the Detention Center’s first successful graduation using the new in-house GED Program.

The Detention Center has previously transported inmates to other facilities to allow them to test.

But the Detention Center recently acquired four new computers for the purpose of administering the GED tests in-house. Once the software was installed and the testing room was set up, the first GED test was administered. There are a total of four separate tests that must be passed in order to acquire a GED. The first inmate that tested in the Detention Center passed all four tests on his first attempt.

Councilman Resigns

A tearful North Beach Councilman Greg McNeill said an emotional goodbye at his last council meeting on Mar. 10, saying it had been a pleasure to serve. McNeill, his wife Jena and their son, Nixon will be moving to a new house which is one block outside the town limits, meaning he must give up his seat as a town councilman.

Beach Fees Going Up Non-residents of North Beach will be shelling out more money to visit the beach this summer.

At the council meeting Mar. 10, council members voted to double the cost of family passes and raise most admission costs by $1 per person.

The move is to offset the more than $40,000 in operating shortfall from 2015. The last increase in beach fees was in 2014.

The cost for out-of-county residents will be going up the most.

Family passes for a family of five living outside of Calvert County will double from $200 to $400. The daily cost for out-of-county children between the ages of 3 -11 will increase from $8.00 to $9.00, and out-of-county adults will go from $15 per person to $17.00 per person.

Out-of-county senior citizen fees (ages 55 and up) will increase from $8 to $9.

Family passes (five people) for Calvert County residents will also double this year from $100 to $200. The daily cost for in-county children (ages 3-11) will remain at $4.00 each, but adult beach fees will increase from $6.00 to $7.00 per person.

Waterfront Manager Richard Ball said last season, the beach had to be closed to additional visitors four times because there was no more room. “It was just unreal,” he told council. “We need more manageability.”

Mayor Mark Frazer acknowledged that the higher fees may reduce the number of paying visitors, but result in the same or additional revenue. “If you’re trying to achieve a more manageable beach – and we have a situation you can’t control – we need to reduce the quantity (of people).” He noted that last season, there were 47,000 people “on our postage stamp beach.”

If visitor numbers remain constant, the

c h e s a p e a k e b e a c h r e s o r t & s pa

Saturday, March 19, 2016 • 2 to 5PM

increases would result in close to $65,000 in additional revenue to the town for April 2016 through June of 2017. Beach fees are reinvested into Capital Improvements for the town.

Frazer also noted that parking lots in North Beach remain free to visitors, even though the town pays for rental of the land, which is increasing again for this season as well.

Council Member Randy Hummel expressed concern about the higher costs but said visitors get more family-friendly value in North Beach than at other nearby beaches on the Chesapeake Bay. “We’re squeezing the beach fees pretty hard. I was down there last summer and there was getting to be pushback and grumbling about the fees. But at Bayfront Park (in Chesapeake Beach) they’re $1 over us and they offer nothing. And we’re a lot more than Breezy Point, but the dynamics here are completely different.”

Fishing fees for out-of-county visitors will remain the same. The cost for the first pole stays at $5.00 and the second pole at $3.00. Season fishing passes remain at $65. It is still free for Calvert County residents to fish from the pier at North Beach.

Watch Local Osprey Cam For those of you hooked on live wildlife cams, you’ll be interested to know that we now have one of them perched over a local osprey nest!

Chesapeake Beach Mayor Bruce Wahl says one of the cameras the town purchased for its surveillance system on the Chesapeake Beach Railway Trail was installed last week above an osprey platform where a pair raised three offspring last year. The ospreys are due back anytime and it’s hoped that this live camera feed will allow us to watch their nesting activities close-up this year.

Chesapeake Beach Public Works Director Jay Berry and his team installed two large nesting platforms 2 -1/2 years ago in the marsh off Fishing Creek and the Trail. That first year, it was after the mating season had ended. But last year, a pair of osprey claimed one of the platforms and raised a family there. “We decided to install the camera last week in advance of their return this year.”

The other platform remained uninhabited last year. “We saw osprey sitting on it occasionally but

Wahl says the Chesapeake they did not nest there,” Berry adds.

“We wanted to install the Beach nesting platform was claimed camera now so we would not last Mar. 15, so the ospreys should disturb the nesting pair,” Mayor be back any day. The male appears Wahl says. “There’s no guarantee first and rebuilds the nest.

Mayor Wahl says this Osprey Cam is solar-powered, so the resolution is “pretty decent” and viewers should be able to watch the osprey nest at night as well.

We will publish updates for you throughout the season in the print Chesapeake Current and online as well, so watch for those!

The cam and platform are located more than 100 yards into the swamp, so the nest cannot be disturbed by people. You can see it from the 3rd finger pier on the Chesapeake Beach Railway Trail, where there’s a plaque installed on the railing.

Berry says while testing the camera, “We saw a beaver or a muskrat messing around in the swamp nearby – so it’s already very interesting to watch! There’s a lot of wildlife out there.”

Wahl says he has been mesmerized by the Bald Eagles, Mr. President and First Lady, shown on the American Eagle Foundation’s Eagle Cam at the National Arboretum in Washington DC this year. “They are fascinating. The Eagles lay eggs much earlier than the ospreys – their two eggs are expected to hatch any day.” You can watch that cam at eagles.org/dceaglecam/.

Wahl says he’d also like to install an Eagle Cam in Chesapeake Beach in the future, “Because, you know, we do have a lot of them nesting around here!”

a day in a continuing effort to keep prescription medications out of the wrong hands. Keeping a household free of unused prescription medications is an important step to curtailing the prescription drug abuse issue in Calvert County.

The drop-off locations are located at Maryland State Police, Barrack U and the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office in Prince Frederick.

Cyclist Dies in High-Speed Chase On Mar. 10, at approximately 4:35 p.m., members of the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office Patrol Bureau and Crash Reconstruction Team responded to the intersection of MD Route 2-4 (Solomons Island Road South) and West End Boulevard, Port Republic, for a report of a motorcycle involved in a collision. Due to the severity of the collision the Crash Reconstruction Team assumed the investigation into the events of the collision.

During a preliminary investigation the following was determined: That same date, at about 4:28 p.m., two sport bikes were observed by a deputy just north of Broomes Island Road traveling southbound on MD Route 2-4 at a high rate of speed. One of the motorcycles was doing a wheelie at the time and both bikes were splitting lanes, traveling between vehicles.

The Deputy notified the Control Center of the observed violations and made a U-turn at the nearest crossover in order to conduct a traffic stop of the cyclists. After activating emergency equipment and attempting to stop the motorcycles, the riders of both sport bikes accelerated to speeds of approximately 130 to 140 miles per hour. Both motorcycle riders appeared to be aware of the police vehicle presence and continued to travel southbound nearing Broomes Island Road. Several deputies were in the area, and upon noticing the additional police vehicle, both motorcycles made a U-turn at Broomes Island Road and proceeded northbound towards the busy Prince Frederick Town Center.

Deputies attempted to keep up with the motorcycles and observed one of the motorcycles, described as a blue/white and black in color, make a U-turn at Whispering Woods subdivision crossover and began to travel southbound on Maryland Route 2-4.

Several deputies, who were responding from the Prince Frederick area, continued to attempt to stop the motorcycle traveling southbound.

The second motorcycle, a black and yellow 2007 Honda, continued northbound towards the Prince Frederick Town Center. As deputies attempted to get the operator to stop the motorcycle, the operator swerved all over the roadway, passing vehicles on the shoulder at speed exceeding 130 miles per hour. Deputies had traffic stopped just prior to entering the Prince Frederick Town Center in an effort to stop the motorcycle. The motorcycle made a U-turn through the grassy median just south of the blocked intersection of Old Field Lane in Prince Frederick and proceeded southbound on Maryland Route 2-4.

The deputies continued to attempt to get the motorcycle to stop; however,

due to the high rate of speed and fast acceleration, police vehicles had a difficult time following the motorcycle.

The motorcycle continued southbound on Rt. 4 at a high rate being operated in a reckless manner, violating numerous traffic laws with blatant disregard for public safety, during the evening rush hour traffic. As the motorcycle passed the intersection of Broomes Island Road, he passed two stationary police vehicles with lights and sirens activated, without stopping.

The motorcycle continued southbound where other deputies were located.

Due to the speed of the motorcycle and the wanton and willful disregard for the safety of the public the operator was displaying, deputies began stopping traffic at intersections the motorcycle was approaching in an effort to avoid crossover collisions.

As the traffic volume was already heavy, due to the rush hour, several vehicles were stopped or nearly stopped at the intersection on Maryland Route 2-4 and West End Boulevard.

As the motorcycle approached slower traveling traffic, it struck the rear of a 2010 Toyota Rav-4, which was in the left turn lane for Western Shores Boulevard. Upon striking the Toyota, the operator was ejected from his motorcycle and continued to travel in a southerly direction. The operator then collided with the rear of a 2014 Ford F-150, which was stopped at the time.

Deputies immediately began rendering first aid to the operator who was unconscious, but breathing on his own. While en-route, to Calvert Memorial Hospital the operator’s condition worsened and EMS staff began administering cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Upon arrival to the hospital, the operator was assessed and pronounced dead by the CMH ER Staff. The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Baltimore, will perform an autopsy in order to determine the exact cause of death.

The deceased operator was later identified as Troy Alexander English, a 20-year-old male of Patuxent River, MD. The operators and occupants of other involved vehicles did not sustain significant injury. All involved were evaluated on the scene by EMS. It appears that reckless driving by English and speed are factors in this collision; however, the investigation is ongoing at this time.

During the course of the investigation the investigators identified the second motorcycle operator and are following up on that information.

It was determined that even prior to police contact the motorcycle operators were travelling at such high speeds that had they T-boned another

vehicle, the likelihood of the crash resulting in death or serious bodily injury to the occupants would have been significant.

DFC Beisel of the Crash Reconstruction Team, along with other investigators, are investigating events that led up to this collision.

Anyone who may have witnessed the

motorcycles in Calvert or St. Mary’s Counties is asked to contact DFC Beisel at (410) 535-2800 ext. 8417 or beiselww@co.cal.md.us. Individuals may also contact Sgt. V. Bortchevsky of Criminal Investigations Bureau at (410) 535-2800 Ext. 2540 of bortchvi@co.cal.md.us with additional information.

Local Arrested After Attacks On Mar. 5, just after 2:00 p.m., Anne Arundel County Police officers responded to the Target store, located at 7951 Nolpark Road in Glen Burnie for a fight call. Responding officers were informed that the male suspect possibly smoked PCP in the Target bathroom, then walked up to several female victims and assaulted them.

After the initial attacks, the suspect then walked to another section of the Target store and approached another female victim. He grabbed the purse that she had on her shoulder and began pulling it from her. The victim gave the purse to the man in fear of being assaulted. A woman who was with the suspect grabbed the purse away from him and gave it back to the victim. The suspect then left the store and was taken into custody by responding officers.

Police say evidence of PCP was recovered from the suspect. None of the victims was injured.

Local Hospital Planning Expansion

On The

C

alvert Memorial Hospital (CMH) is planning a major expansion and renovation project with a goal of making it more competitive with other hospitals that provide private patient rooms.

At the Board of Calvert County Commissioners (BOCC) meeting on Mar. 15, CMH’s President and CEO Dean Teague was joined by Monty Suder, Owner’s Rep for the Hospital, and Anthony Bladen, Vice President of Operations gave a presentation detailing a new, three-story hospital tower that will provide upgraded levels of care.

Teague says if all goes according to plan, they hope to “have a shovel in the ground in the spring of 2017.” The goal is to complete the project in 2020.

The first floor of the new tower, which would be constructed to the left of the current front entrance and add 43,500 square feet, would expand outpatient services and medical offices. The second and third levels would each provide 20 private patient rooms.

Another 27,000 square feet of the existing hospital would be remodeled, with total

The new, three-story tower would be built to the left of the current hospital entrance (shown in beige shading).

construction at over 70,000 square feet. This would make nursing assignments more efficient and “provide a lot better patient experience,” according to Teague.

He further explained that the standard in hospitals today is to provide patients with private rooms. Most of the 43 rooms at CMH are now semi-private, and in situations where patients with certain diseases or conditions require private rooms, they lose 12 or so bed spaces. This renovation would provide a total of 80 private patient rooms. He said that at the end of the project, all patient rooms would be identical and offer new features, such as a strobe light to signal to the hearing impaired that someone was entering their room.

The expansion would also allow for an “observation ward” which would free up space in the emergency room for patients under observation or awaiting tests. Teague said the hospital would also like to expand other services, including infusion oncology.

Teague said the state asks that in hospital expansion projects, 10% of the cost be raised through local philanthropy. This would mean that CMH would need to raise $3 million to $5 million.

CMH President and CEO Dean Teague; Monty Suder, Owner’s Rep for the Hospital; and Anthony Bladen, Vice President of Operations give a presentation to the Calvert County Commissioners outlining the proposed hospital expansion and renovation.

Town Approves Vacation Rentals North Beach Town Council has voted unanimously to adopt an updated zoning ordinance, with the biggest change being the addition of a short-term vacation rental license.

Under the new rules, owners of furnished properties that are rented for a few days, or a few weeks, must register the properties at town hall. Along with the application for a “special exception,” they must pay a fee of $350 per unit. There will be a one-time fee of $150 for an inspection by the town’s code enforcement officer to assure that the property is livable, and representative of the town. One requirement is that if the property was built before 1978, it must be lead compliant.

Town Treasurer Joanne Hunt said this new rental category will help the town – and the county – better track and collect the county’s 5% lodging tax. The town gets 4.5% of the lodging tax and the county keeps .5%.

The town says based on a review of the most popular online booking sites, there are more than a dozen properties in North Beach that are vacation rentals. Yet only three are in compliance with paying the required lodging tax. Hunt said this could be a substantial form of additional revenue for the town, especially in the future.

Mayor Mark Frazer said applications are due in Town Hall by May 1. “It’s a sticky situation and this will help us get a handle on it.”

Hunt said, “We will notify the people we believe are operating vacation rentals and give them the warning… then initiate a penalty if they do not comply.”

Fines for operating a vacation rental without a license will be up to $50 per day.

Anyone operating such a vacation rental in the Town of North Beach is encouraged to contact Town Hall for an application for the “special exception,” and a copy of the new

As my Glaucoma progressed, I was afraid of completely losing my vision. After consulting with Dr. Nesti, it was clear that I needed to have Glaucoma surgery to avoid total loss of vision. I am so grateful that Dr. Nesti was able to stabilize my vision and prevent it from further deteriorating. I highly recommend Dr. Nesti to anyone considering Glaucoma surgery.

Money Matters YOUR

APPROACHING RETIREMENT

By Lyn Striegel

There are 10,000 baby boomers turning 65 every day for the next 19 years. And, many of those have no retirement plans in place. Why do you need a retirement plan? For the same reason you go to a doctor to solve a medical problem. Professional assistance to help you create a retirement plan you can achieve and live with is critical. There is no way most of us can understand all of the retirement investment options that are available or how those options might be put to good use in your retirement plan. Only those whose job it is to constantly review such options can give us the kind of advice we need. Here is the good news—your investigation of professionals will not cost you money, only time. Creating a retirement plan can be done at any age and at no cost. What is required is your commitment to doing it and your time and energy. Problems have solutions. You may not like the solutions you come up with as you create your retirement plan, but at least you will have solutions to review.

The time to start planning for retirement is now and that is true whether you are a baby boomer or in your 30’s, 40’s, 50’s or wherever.

Planning is not rocket science—it begins with a willingness to take a hard and honest look at your own financial situation.

We are lucky to have a variety of resources at our disposal to educate ourselves about retirement. Where to start? How about looking at your own company’s 401(k) plan—you know, the one you signed up for when you joined the company.

When was the last time you took a look at the investment options made available through your own 401(k) plan? Remember that the investment choices you make when you are young and able to withstand the downturns in the marketplace will not be the ones you need to choose when you are older and close to retirement. Take a look at what

you have and if you do not understand the options made available to you, talk to somebody at the company or outside of it. Learn for yourself. By the way, while you are taking a look at that 401(k), please check your beneficiary designations.

Are they up to date? Are your beneficiaries still your parents or have you updated to include your spouse and children?

Use all available resources to educate yourself.

Today, the number and variety of free online investment education services is staggering. Every brokerage firm, insurance company and bank has a website full of learning tools, including retirement calculators, that will help you understand where you are and where you need to be.

Or, if you prefer, your local library has hundreds of books available to you free of charge.

Imagine what you want out of your retirement and start getting organized. The huge home you had to raise your children, now gone, can be a troublesome burden at order age. Is it time to start looking to downsize? Have you planned to move to another state to be closer to loved ones in retirement? What do you know about the cost of living in another state? Will your retirement plan cover those costs? Get your thoughts together and then seek a professional opinion about how to get where you want to be.

Why is it that we go to doctors for second opinions but most of us never bother to get a second opinion about our retirement plans?

Never be afraid to meet with multiple advisers—you want to find the right fit for you and that may take time. When you meet with a professional, arm yourself with information about you, your finances and what you want to get out of your retirement.

If you have already been working with an investment professional and are not happy with the relationship, call them. Meet with them.

Discuss your concerns. If you are still not satisfied, talk to others.

Never become obsessed with the daily financial news. You are thinking and planning for the long term and you do not want to get sidetracked by the ups and downs of the market. Once you have a retirement plan, stick to it. It’s fine to watch the financial news but keep in mind this is entertainment, nothing more.

One thing that is critical whether or not you are close to retirement. Plan for your loved ones. Get a will or a living trust.

Make sure you have a current power of attorney, both medical and financial, so if something happens to you, someone you love will be able to take care of you. Make it easy on your loved ones. Get all your documentation together in one place including insurance policies, car and boat titles, etc.

Remember—“it’s not an if, it’s a when.” When you die, leave behind a plan for your loved ones, not a mess.

Finally, while we all might think that having wealth is critical to happiness in retirement, it turns out that the most powerful predictor of satisfaction after retirement is

the extent of a person’s social network, not wealth. Maintaining your social networks, giving of yourself to others, these are the predictors of retirement happiness.

Talk to your friends and neighbors. How many times have you heard someone who is retired say they are busier in retirement than when they were working. That’s because retirement can certainly be the time in life when you give back to others and that, in itself, will bring happiness. This is your retirement. To get the most out of it, you need to make it work for you.

Good luck with your retirement!

She cherished their time together and when her health declined, she wanted him by her side constantly. On the few occasions when he went to work, she found pleasure and comfort in just hearing his voice on the phone.

Their family consisted of five sons and included Dale Darnell (deceased), Dewayne Waverly, Erwin Lynn (deceased), Bryant Lamont and Trabin Forte, Sr. and one daughter, Kim. She also has four beautiful grandchildren, Latonya, Darnell, Trabin, Jr., and Abigail and two great-grandchildren, Anaiya and Sarnaiia.

Elaine was a faithful member at Carroll Western United Methodist Church and gave her all to the God's service. She was a dedicated Communion Steward and served as Chairperson of the Health and Welfare Committee. Additionally, she was a doorkeeper in the house of the Lord as a member of the Usher Board.

Elaine loved going shopping and on trips with her husband, Waverly. She was always smiling and had a great sense of humor that brought laughter to all in her presence. She was a great cook and her home was filled with love. She was an outstanding wife and mother and was devoted to the men in her life. She was blessed to have many devoted friends and truly cherished the moments they shared.

George Serbinoff, 89 G e o r g e Thomas Serbinoff passed away peacefully at the age of 89 on Mar. 3, 2016.

He was born on Oct. 21, 1926 in Keego Harbor, MI. He was the son of first generation Americans, Thomas and Anna Serbinoff, who emigrated from Bitola, Macedonia. He grew up surrounded by the traditions of the Macedonian community Northwest of Detroit.

While a senior in high school, he was drafted into the U.S. Army, training as an airborne paratrooper. His unit was scheduled to take part in the planned invasion of Japan in 1945, but the war ended with the surrender of Japan in August 1945.

Following discharge from the Army, George attended the University of Michigan, graduating with dual degrees in History and Russian language. While at Michigan, he played violin in the University orchestra. One of his professors was instrumental in George being hired by the U.S. Department of State. George started his career at the State Department working on the Bulgarian desk.

While in Washington, he courted Patricia Ann Vandenberg, a hometown sweetheart back in Michigan, bringing his bride to the nation’s capital to join him on his career journeys. George’s government career included various assignments with the Voice of America, serving as a speech-

writer for the Secretary of Defense, and as Director of the America Houses in both Frankfurt and Tuebingen, Germany. In 1968, George and his family returned to the U.S., settling in Largo, MD, where George, Pat and their five children put down roots after eight years abroad.

George remained in government service in the D.C. area until retiring in 1985. His final assignment was as a speechwriter for the Department of Agriculture.

In retired life George was active and followed his passions. He took up the violin again, giving lessons and honing his musical skills. He was an avid chess player, and an aggressive competitor in local chess circles (and online as the computer age dawned). He loved classical music and amassed quite a library that he shared with his family and friends.

George developed a keen appreciation for films of the Golden Age of Hollywood.

He was always eager to have friends and family join him in a Bogart, Cagney or Hitchcock film. When the personal computer hit the market, George always wanted the latest and greatest innovations.

The first to buy the newest technology, he embraced the wonders of the desktop computer.

George became a devout Christian and dedicated much of his time to church activities and causes. He ministered to youth at the Upper Marlboro Detention Center and later for Teen Challenge. He also played violin in his church orchestra.

George is survived by Patricia, his wife of 63 years; five children: son Peter Serbinoff of Fort Lauderdale, FL; daughters Christine Balasi (Victor) of King George, VA; Sandra Holland of Upper Marlboro; Anna Azmi of North Beach; and Catherine Valentine (Eddie) of Waldorf; brother Christopher Serbinoff (Judith); grandchildren Raven and Eddie Valentine; and cousins George and Peter Antonios.

Memorial donations may be made in George’s memory to the Alzheimer’s Association, National Capitol Area Chapter, 10665 Stanhaven Place #205d, White Plains, MD 20695 or The National Capitol Area Teen Challenge, PO Box 62776, Washington, DC 20029.

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

Jean has served as the Interim Executive Director since October and accepted a permanent position with Calvert Hospice on Feb. 24.

“I am sincerely honored to work with such a unique group of highly skilled, committed and compassionate professionals, all of whom consistently provide the complex support that patients and families need during some of the most difficult times in life. Our Board of Directors is extremely supportive of Calvert Hospice and we appreciate their guidance, expertise, and involvement. All of us want Calvert Hospice to be ‘the community’s hospice’ and we are committed to working together to achieve that vision,” she said.

Jean has served on the Board of Directors for Calvert Hospice for three years, most recently serving as Treasurer and as Chair of the Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement Committee.

She had served as a hospice volunteer almost 10 years ago and has never lost her commitment to the mission of providing comprehensive, 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 patients and families by supporting the nurses, aides, social 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 Studies 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 immediate past president of the American Association for Adult and Continuing Education, an

international association with over 800 members.

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

Calvert Hospice has also announced that Tanea Granlund is its new Outreach Coordinator.

Tanea was born and raised in Calvert County and has developed relationships with the community in various ways. “I am very grateful that my career path has led me to such a great organization.

Through personal experiences, I learned all that Hospice has to offer patients and their families. I saw how much Hospice not only cares for the terminally ill patient but supports, educates, and comforts the family members. Hospice is always there to help, and I am excited to be a part of this wonderful group of people. I want to help spread the word throughout the community to enable residents take advantage of everything Calvert Hospice has to offer.”

Tanea has worked with children and adults for over 24 years through education and community involvement.

Tanea earned her Early Childhood Development Degree in 1992, Business Degree in 2012, and attended University of Maryland for her BA in Art Education.

In 1990, Tanea traveled the world with her husband who set forth in his military career. After 24 years, Tanea has now settled back “home” in Calvert County, and her family has bought their first home in Huntingtown. “It is great to be back home and involved in the community that I was raised in. I am now raising my own two children in Calvert County and couldn’t be happier!”
