County Introduces Residential Stormwater Program Anne Arundel County is establishing a new Stormwater Remediation Fee Credit Agreement Program to encourage the proactive use of small-scale stormwater runoff controls on private residential property. The new program provides single-family homeowners up to a 50% reduction of their annual Watershed Protection and Restoration Fee (WPRF) based on the stormwater projects on their property that limit runoff and reduce the amount of pollutants entering the County’s waterways. “Our goal is to recognize property owners for their significant stormwater control investments and encourage other homeowners to proactively manage runoff from their property,” said County Executive Steve Schuh. “This new credit program will help to minimize the impact land development has on the health of our waterways.” “A majority of the land in Anne Arundel County is privately owned,” said WPRP Administrator Erik Michelsen. “While the County is responsible for meeting stormwater pollution requirements from Countyowned property, we recognize the need to also reduce the quantity and quality of stormwater coming from private land.” Stormwater Remediation Fee Credit Agreement Program-

eligible projects include rain gardens, permeable pavements, rainwater harvesting (excluding rain barrels), and impervious surface disconnections. However, other projects may be considered depending on their ability to reduce pollution. The program will be managed by the County’s Watershed Protection and Restoration Program (WPRP) and provides for review of eligible practices for potential credit in compliance with federal and state water quality requirements. Property owners seeking additional information regarding the Stormwater Remediation Fee Credit Agreement Program can contact WPRP Engineer Manager Raghu Badami, P.E. at (410) 222-0529 or via email at pwbada78@aacounty.org. WPRF credit program information and downloadable applications can also be found online at aarivers.org. All applications must be submitted by Oct. 1 of the taxable year. The WPRP, a division of the Anne Arundel County Department of Public Works Bureau of Engineering, is responsible for implementation of the County’s stormwater restoration project strategies that meet mandated federal and state water quality requirements. For more information about the WPRP, go to aarivers.org.

Planning for Future Libraries The Board of Calvert County Commissioners (BOCC) at their meeting Sept. 13 voted for establishing a fixed price contract with a consultant to collaborate with Calvert County and Charles County's Public Libraries to provide separate Facilities Master Plans and related documents. Their job is to quantify existing space deficiencies and define how best to address these deficiencies and plan for future growth in each County. This contract is being funded with County Funds and a federal grant, passed through the State of Maryland, Division of Library Development and Services (DLDS). Two proposals were received in July in response to a Request for Proposal (RFP). The proposals were reviewed by an evaluation committee consisting of members from the Calvert County and Charles County Public Libraries. After review, it was determined to be in both Counties' best interest to award the contract to Providence Associates LLC of Cottonwood, AZ based upon their experience and past record. This award is for action by Calvert the County BOCC for Calvert's portion of the contract; Charles County will act on their own behalf to approve, fund, and oversee their portion of the contract. Calvert County's portion of this

fixed price contract is $53,116. The Plans shall identify the total number of square feet required for the Libraries to serve their County's needs through the year 2036. It shall serve as a defensible guide for the Libraries' capital programs as they seek to construct, over time, first-class library facilities that meet the needs of their communities. The Plans shall enable the Libraries to respond appropriately and effectively to changes in community demographics, technological and telecommunications developments, emerging service expectations, aging facilities, and other transformations, while also maintaining and improving continuing relevant traditional services. Once completed, the Plans shall be a significant asset to the Libraries' long-range planning efforts. The Consultant shall incorporate each County's current and projected demographic data, state and national standards, peer comparisons, library trends, community input, and best practices. The Plans shall specify a schedule, scope and budget for each Library facility. The study shall concentrate on the appropriate size and location of branches in the current general geographic areas and whether or not any new facilities are needed and in what areas they should be located.

How Animal Shelter Will Be Organized At their May 17 meeting, the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) announced plans to build a new animal shelter in Calvert County. The BOCC intends to enter into a public/private partnership with Marrick Properties to lease the new county facility with an option to purchase it at a later date. Calvert County Government will be in charge of operating the animal shelter. After reviewing the organization of animal shelters in various counties throughout the State of Maryland to help determine the reporting structure of our shelter, staff found it varies widely. The staff recommendation was

that Calvert County's future animal shelter report to the Department of Public Safety. The Board's concurred by a vote of 5-0. “Don’t expect to see a building in like, two weeks,” added Commissioner Thomas Hejl [R-At Large]. “It’s going to take a little while… but we expect it will be a state-of-the-art facility.” Commissioners’ President Evan Slaughenhoupt (R-District 3) noted, “We are establishing an Animal Advisory Committee, as well as a Animal Matters Committee, we’re also looking to finalize details about the specifics of the shelter, and then staffing,” as well as volunteer opportunities.

Sheriff’s Office Holds Open House From the Calvert County Sheriff’s Dept. On Sat. Aug. 27, the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office hosted its bi-year Open House. This event is an opportunity for the public to meet the men and women of the Sheriff’s Office, Detention Center, and their law enforcement partners and public safety providers in the community. Sheriff Mike Evans kicked off the event with the help of some special guests. Bishop Patton from the Lighthouse Church gave the invocation. That was followed by the Pledge of Allegiance, led by the Young Marines of Southern Maryland, and Star Spangled Banner, sung by Mrs. Joy Mitchell. The Sheriff then conducted a ceremonial roll call inspection of two Deputy Sheriffs and their patrol vehicles. At Open House, the public gets the opportunity to tour the building and learn about its history while intermingling with the Sheriff and his staff. Outside, there are plenty of activities for our young people. Dunk tank, fast pitch, face painting, balloon art, and cotton candy are regular attractions. 2016 was the second time Open House attendees got the opportunity to meet some of their favorite super heroes. Spiderman, Thor, Captain America, and Anna wowed the kids and posed for pictures with young and old alike. Reptile Man and his slithery friends drew the curiosity of many. The local chapter of the ASPCA brought along their furry friends for adoption. And our good friends from Calvert K-9 Search Team gave an excellent demonstration on the amazing work that they do. The great people from Fantasy World once again made numerous trips around the event throughout the day in the kids train. Police mountain bike, motorcycle, and K-9 demonstrations showcased the talents and skills of our deputies. Static displays to include our Special Operations Team, Detention Center, Department

of Natural Resources Police, Maryland State Police, and Coast Guard gave visitors an opportunity to get a glimpse of their unique skills and services they provide to the community. There was no shortage of food. Firehouse Subs, Hardesty’s Haven, Papa John’s, Rita’s and Maggie Moos kept everyone full. We would like to thank our neighbors at Trinity Church, St. Paul’s Church, the Sheridan Building, Gray Inn Court, 7-11, Subway, Midas, Top Hat, Prince Frederick Dodge, the Foundation Heroes, and the Prince Frederick Volunteer Fire Department (Company 2) for supporting this event. We would also like to acknowledge our corporate sponsors who include, Bayside Auto Group, Stoney’s, Trader’s Seafood Steak and Ale, Exelon Generation, Fastop, The Gott Company, J&J Portables, SMECO, Firehouse Subs, Dominion, and Sneade’s Ace Home Center. This year’s donation check was made payable to Camp Jr. Sheriff in the amount of $1,000.00. None of this would have been possible without the countless hours of hard work and planning from the members of the Open House Committee, and the deputies Explorers, civilian staff, and volunteers who all went the extra mile to make Open House 2016 a huge success. We hope to see everyone back in Spring 2018.

Rabies Baits Being Distributed The Anne Arundel County Department of Health is conducting its annual Raccoon Oral Rabies Vaccinations through Sept. 30. Edible baits containing rabies vaccine will be placed countywide to vaccinate thousands of raccoons against rabies. The baits will be placed in neighborhoods by ground teams of Department of Health staff traveling in marked County vehicles. In less populated areas, baits will be dropped from a low-flying County Police helicopter. If you see any bait, please leave it alone so the raccoons can find it and eat it. During this time and for at least two additional weeks, it is recommended that pets be kept indoors or on leashes outside. This will allow enough time for raccoons to eat the bait. The bait is not harmful to people, pets or wildlife. Should your pet find bait, take care in removing the bait from your pet’s mouth. If ingested, the bait may cause diarrhea or vomiting in dogs, cats and ferrets due to the high fat content of the bait. The bait is marked with a 1-800 phone number to call if you or your pet has contact with the liquid vaccine inside the bait. You can also call (410) 222-0056, ext. 3031. The vaccine cannot be used to

vaccinate your pet against rabies. The vaccine is approved only for use in raccoons. For more information, visit aahealth.org/orv. If you have any questions, please call the Bureau of Environmental Health at (410) 222-0056, ext. 3031.

Arrests Made At Checkpoint The Calvert County Sheriff’s Office conducted a Sobriety Checkpoint along Maryland Route 260 between Rt. 778 and Thomas Avenue beginning Fri., Sept. 2 at 11:09 p.m. and concluded it at 1:15 a.m. on Sat., Sept. 3. Both the eastbound and westbound traffic lanes were monitored during this checkpoint. There were 16 Calvert County Sheriff’s Office deputies and one Maryland State Trooper assigned to work the checkpoint. A total of 412 motorists entered the sobriety checkpoint and 11 were pulled to the side for testing or for probable cause searches based on the odor of marijuana. There were four DUI arrests made during the checkpoint operation and five arrests were made for controlled dangerous substance law violations. Cpl. Moschetto made an additional arrest of an impaired driver while travelling home after the checkpoint operation was completed.

Chesapeake Current

The checkpoint operation was dedicated to the memory of Ofc. Noah Leotta of the Montgomery County Police Department. Ofc. Noah Leotta’s father, Rich Leotta addressed the deputies and trooper in attendance at the briefing. Other members of Ofc. Leota’s family, who are Calvert County residents, also attended the checkpoint. Ofc. Noah Leotta was struck by a drunk driver in December of 2015 while conducting a traffic stop working holiday DUI saturation patrol. Since his sons death Rich Leotta and other family members and organizations have been working diligently to get stiffer penalties for DUI offenders. Noah’s Law, which governs interlock devices and takes effect Oct. 1, is a result of the efforts of Noah’s family, co-workers, friends and organizations to crack down on impaired drivers.

Dominion Gives School Grants

Pride & Joy CSM Offers New Internships The National Security Agency is opening up its educational co-op program to community college students in our area. The College of Southern Maryland will host an information session for eligible students at 6:00 p.m. Wed., Sept. 14, at the La Plata Campus in the Center for Business and Industry (BI Building), Room 113, 8730 Mitchell Road, La Plata. The NSA program provides paid employment during alternating semesters, tuition reimbursement, and one class pre-paid during the accepted student's "off" semesters. “This is a great opportunity that NSA has been managing for more than 50 years, and they have now opened up applications from community college students who plan to continue on to a four-year degree,” said Wendy Hume Hayes, CSM cybersecurity program coordinator in the college’s Business and Technology Division. CSM students who have declared one of the following majors – cybersecurity, information systems security, computer science, computer engineering and electrical engineering -- and have completed no more than 24 credit hours toward a degree, may be eligible to apply for a paid internship. Students also must be U.S. citizens and be able to pass a background check. Hayes will explain the NSA co-op

program, and CSM Career Services will be on hand to help students polish their application materials. “Having NSA recognize the high-level technical skills our community college students earn is a great achievement,” Hayes said. “This is an amazing opportunity our students should not pass up.” CSM was designated a National Centers of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense 2-Year Education (CAE2Y) by the NSA and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security for the second time last fall. The college joins 23 of the more than 1,200 community colleges across the nation to receive the honor, which recognizes the quality of the college's cybersecurity educational practices and curriculum. According to the National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education, the global shortage of skilled security practitioners is predicted to reach 1.5 million by 2020. In the U.S., there are more than 209,000 unfilled cybersecurity jobs and the demand for information security professionals is expected to grow by 53 percent through 2018, according to an independent analysis of numbers from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. For more information on the Sept. 14 session, contact Hayes at (301) 934-7564 or WHayes1@csmd.edu.

CSM President to Retire Dr. Brad Gottfried, president of the College of Southern Maryland, has announced his intent to retire on June 30, 2017. Appointed CSM’s fourth president in 2006, Gottfried has had a significant impact on the college, including expanding the college with a Regional Hughesville Campus, increasing CSM’s partnerships and articulations, and keeping higher education affordable and accessible. “Since 2006, it has been my honor and pleasure to serve as the president of the College of Southern Maryland. I believe – and many will agree – the college has advanced in strategic ways during the past decade. The college is strong and continues to have a positive impact in our region,” Gottfried said in a message to the community announcing his retirement. “It is with my utmost respect and appreciation that I’m announcing my intention to retire effective June 30, 2017. It has been a highlight of my professional career to serve as CSM’s fourth president and I will definitely look back on my time here with pride,” he said. As president, Gottfried has been praised by CSM’s Board of Trustees for his passion to provide high-quality education that is accessible, affordable and flexible for all students and the community. “Much of CSM’s success can be attributed to Dr. Gottfried’s passion for lifelong learning and his embrace of the college’s role within the community,” CSM Board of Trustees Chair Dorothea Holt Smith said. “Through his leadership, he promotes an inclusive culture where everyone is encouraged to have a role in the college’s success. Dr. Gottfried’s leadership has resulted in many beneficial partnership opportunities, from articulations with four-year institutions, to collaborations with local and national agencies, to increased advocacy with local, state and federal elected officials.” “What's outstanding is his unwavering commitment to the economic health and welfare of the college and the greater community with a vision to make us stronger. This is reflected in our institutes developed under his leadership and dedicated not only to nurturing entrepreneurship and innovation, or supporting nonprofits, but also to strengthening and encouraging diverse relationships within our communities,” Smith said. “One of his most lasting legacies that will continue to make us stronger as a regional college is our fourth campus, the Regional Hughesville Campus, centrally located to ensure equal service, equal proximity and equal access to high-quality programs that are convenient to all citizens of Southern Maryland." In addition to creating a centralized presence with the Regional Hughesville Campus, Gottfried has worked to expand accessibility to higher education within Southern Maryland by enhancing dual enrollment programs for high school students and pursuing partnerships with universities and colleges. His leadership has led to a record number of graduates due to the college’s focus on student success as well as more than 50 guaranteed articulation agreements with colleges and universities to enable students to easily transfer and pursue bachelor degrees. He has effectively partnered with the public school systems in Calvert, Charles and St. Mary’s counties to better serve students of all ages. To enhance the region’s economic development, Gottfried has worked with the community’s businesses to address their needs and critical shortages. CSM has helped put Southern Marylanders to work by launching new programs in Cybersecurity, Nuclear Engineering Technology, Robotics, Medical Laboratory Technology, Digital Media Production and the trades. CSM has experienced growth with new facilities on all of the campuses including a Wellness and Aquatics Center at the Leonardtown Campus, a second building at the Prince Frederick Campus and renovations that expanded facilities at the La Plata Campus, including the Business Building and Community Education Building. Under his leadership, CSM successfully

Dr. Brad Gottfried.

completed its five-year Periodic Review and 10-year Middle States Regional Association accreditation, embraced a culture of Quality Improvement with strategic planning, outcomes assessment and process improvement, and is recognized as an outstanding employer by managing a diverse workforce with innovative training, promotion opportunities and wellness initiatives while offering an attractive and affordable fringe benefits package. Among his community-based initiatives are the Nonprofit Institute at CSM to strengthen region’s nonprofit organizations and the Diversity Institute of Charles County, which promotes a culture of inclusiveness and understanding in a rapidly changing community. Recognizing the need to nurture the region's entrepreneurs and innovators, the Entrepreneur and Innovation Institute complements the array of business programs already offered at the college through the Small Business Development Center and the network of CSM institutes designed to help the college build relationships with local businesses and organizations. Upon Gottfried’s arrival to CSM, the college had its first major gifts campaign, exceeding its goal and raising $7.7 million. He and his wife, Linda, invest in both an annual and an endowed scholarship fund at CSM every year, and now as part of the college’s $10-million Impact Campaign, they have made a leadership gift of $110,000 in cash and a deferred gift to the CSM Foundation that reflects their passion for education. Of their gift, $10,000 is directed to their annual scholarship with the remainder to be directed to the Bradley and Linda Gottfried Endowment Fund as part of their Living Trust to the CSM Foundation. "As president of this college for 10 years, I'm out in the community regularly. I know the students. I know what their dreams and aspirations are and I know so many of them just are not able to get an education," said Brad Gottfried in announcing their gift earlier this year. "So for Linda and me, it's giving back to the community. It's helping individuals who really want an education to be able to afford an education. You can't take your money with you, so it makes perfect sense for us to leave a legacy for the college and for the community." Gottfried has a long and distinguished career in higher education. After receiving his Ph.D. in Zoology from Miami University in 1976, Gottfried served as a faculty member and a chief academic officer for many years before becoming president of Sussex County Community College in 2000. His strengths are in strategic planning and assessment of institutional effectiveness, fund-raising and academic program development. Gottfried is also an historian and author specializing in the Civil War. “I will spend my remaining time here at CSM completing some key initiatives including orienting our three newest trustees, exploring innovative enrollment and retention initiatives, seeking funding for Regional Campus Health Sciences Building and advancing our $10-million Major Gifts Impact campaign,” Gottfried said. The college’s Board of Trustees is launching an open and transparent nationwide presidential search. For more information about the College of Southern Maryland, visit csmd.edu .

Money Matters YOUR

By Lyn Striegel Once you have made the decision to set up your own business and have chosen whether you want a limited liability company or a corporation, you need to focus on protecting your business. That is done through contracts and what you need depends on the type of business you have. If you are a retail business, your primary focus will be on your suppliers. Each of them will likely have their own form of contract they want you to sign on behalf of your business. Make sure you read and thoroughly understand these contracts. How many times have I heard â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know the contract required â&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;? Read before you sign. Many suppliers will want your business to commit to purchasing a certain amount of widgets per month. Understanding what the supplier wants and what you can provide is key. Suppliers want to ensure they have a steady flow of customers so will offer you a discount if

Sign on the Dotted Line you commit to purchase certain amounts on a regular basis. However, that discount is meaningless to you if you do not have a good idea of how many widgets you really need to satisfy customer demand per month. As a new business, you probably will not know how many widgets you will need to supply to your customers. Start small with the supplier until you have a good idea of the flow of widgets. Once you have a handle on how many you will need, then you can commit to purchasing over a period of time. What about personal guarantees? Of course, this request from a supplier may be more than a request. Many suppliers do not want to do business with a new entity and the only way they will do business is if they have a personal guarantee that your business will be able to pay for the widgets they will supply to you. This supplier

request is to be anticipated. Obviously your personal guarantee to back up your business purchase defeats one of the purposes of setting up as a company which is to avoid personal liability. But, since requests for guarantees are standard, you need to think about inserting terms in your contracts with suppliers that drop the demand for a personal guarantee after a period of timely payments to the supplier. If you can prove that your business is a reliable customer of the supplier and pay the supplier bills on time, the supplier anxiety should be reduced and you should be able to drop the demand for a personal guarantee. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a retail business. But suppose you have a construction business. That business is heavily dependent on contracts with customers. The contracts need to set forth the expectations of the customer and your ability as a business to meet those expectations. Suppose, for example, you agree to build someone a front porch. The important points of your contract are going to be when you will start and finish the project, how much it will cost, what guarantee you will give as to the workmanship and what payment terms you will need. Often, your request for a payment up front is based on your estimate of the cost of materials to complete the job. Too often, the cost of the labor to get the job started is forgotten, leaving your business with paid for materials and no cash flow to handle labor costs. The entire project must be mapped out so you know, as the business owner, how much cash flow you need to complete each stage of the job. Starting dates are usually not an issue. Finish dates are always an issue. However, weather can and does often interfere with the starting date and certainly impacts the finish date. Weather delays when working outside must be taken into account before you write the contract. Guarantees are easier. Your competition will offer guarantees of workmanship and you should too. You need to understand the implications of the guarantee. Under your contract, can you be called back after three years to repair something on that porch or will your responsibility last one year. There is a difference between the manufacturerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guarantee of the materials and your guarantee of workmanship. The roof materials for the porch may be guaranteed for twenty years - your workmanship cannot be

guaranteed for that length of time unless you are independently wealthy. Payment terms on the construction contract will usually follow the staging of the job. Keep this in mind. New construction is far easier to deal with than renovation. Builders have told me there is often no way to tell what is required on the renovation until walls are opened. Leave enough room for problems by using the â&#x20AC;&#x153;change orderâ&#x20AC;? concept. This means, when you run across an unanticipated problem, the customer approves your fixing the problem at an additional cost. Without the change order, your business could be stuck with any repairs to problems you did not anticipate. There are many different types of contracts used for different businesses. Consulting contracts need to focus on deliverables - exactly what the consultant will do for the customer and when. Language is all-important in any contract. Use of the proper language will protect your business no matter what the situation with your customer. Although you may use an attorney to draft your contracts, you as the business owner are critical to giving the attorney an understanding of how your business works and what critical points need to be included in your contract. My best advice is to take your time. Think about the type of contract you need and focus on all the â&#x20AC;&#x153;imaginary horriblesâ&#x20AC;? that can happen to prevent you from completing the contract and/or your customer from receiving what they paid for and draft against these horribles. The time to enter into a contract with your customer is right up front, never after the fact. And, miscommunication is the primary reason customers sue businesses. The best protection you can have for your business is to make sure your contracts communicate clearly.

Clark Gets Back Into Politics

On The

ommissioner Steve Weems [R-At Large] broke the news at the Board of Calvert County Commissioners (BOCC) meeting on Sept. 13, that former Calvert County Commissioner Gerald W. “Jerry” Clark will be the next delegate to Annapolis, representing Calvert and St. Mary’s Counties. Governor Larry Hogan has announced he appointed Clark to Maryland House of Delegates to fill the seat representing District 29C being vacated by Anthony “Tony” O’Donnell, who accepted an appointment by the governor earlier this year to the Maryland Public Service Commission. The governor made Clark’s appointment after reviewing recommendations from the Calvert and St. Mary’s Counties’ Republican Central Committees. A total of six people were considered for the position. Calvert Republicans vying for the position other than Clark included Judge Ted LeBlanc of the Orphans Court and Don Statter, who formerly worked on O’Donnell’s campaign. Three others: Todd Morgan, St. Mary’s County Commissioner; Greg Sauter, the St. Mary’s County Republican Club President, and former St. Mary’s County Commissioner Barbara Thompson had also put their hats in the ring. “For more than a decade, Jerry has served the people of Calvert County and I am confident that he is the most qualified candidate to represent District 29C in the Maryland General Assembly,” said Governor Hogan. “He has a deep understanding of the issues his constituents care most about, and I offer my sincere

congratulations.” After openly supporting the Dominion Cove Point LNG project, which many Southern residents opposed, Clark lost the 2014 Republican primary to Mike Hart, who later won the commissioners’ seat. In his new position, Clark will represent District 29C, which includes parts of Calvert and St. Mary’s Counties. From 2002 to 2014, Clark served on Calvert County’s Board of County Commissioners, including terms as both president and vice president. His additional public service includes serving as chair of the Tri-County Council of Southern Maryland and as a member of the Maryland Critical Area Commission. Clark has also undertaken multiple business ventures, including Port of Call Wine and Spirits, which he has owned since 1979. “I am humbled by the confidence Governor Hogan has in me and am honored to represent the people of Calvert and St. Mary’s Counties,” said Clark. “I look forward to improving the lives of District 29C’s citizens and working with the governor to continue changing Maryland for the better.” Clark described his reaction to the Chesapeake Current. “Just happiness, I was surprised and humbled at the same time, it’s a good feeling. I’m looking forward to working with the Governor and people in the House and trying to make things better for all the people in Maryland. It should be interesting!” As for what Clark plans to do in the new position, he told us, “I think it’s early in the game. I’m trying to prioritize at this point right

now, letting the appointment settle in and starting to work on the logistics for getting sworn in. I will work on priorities and issues as we move forward in the next few weeks.” He said it’s still sinking in. “I just received a call this morning from the Governor, and the speaker’s office will contact me and get that date worked out (for the swearing in) and I suspect it will be fairly soon, in the next week or week and a half.” So what did Clark say that nailed the position? “Most of the time I spent doing forms with Central Committees, answering general campaign questions. They were mostly asking questions that pertain to local versus state issues. Each committee (GOP Committees in Calvert and St. Mary’s Counties) sent up three names, and the Governor’s representative interviewed each individual. I think what set me apart was the three terms experience on the Board of County Commissioners, Tri-County Council, my Environmental Committee, and business experience in the lower part of Calvert and St. Mary’s Counties. I just want to keep things moving forward the same way Tony did. I support the Governor 100%, all the things he’s doing, how he’s turning the state around.” “I’m looking forward to getting my feet wet and get moving up there – I’m ready to go! It’s hard to sit back and wait until I’m sworn in and working,” Clark concluded. We asked, was Dominion Cove Point discussed when he was being considered for the position? Clark answered, “They know I was 100% behind the Cove Point project, but was I quizzed on it? No. All I ever said that this current BOCC found they needed to raise taxes, and what would they have done if this money wasn’t coming in in the near future?” Linda Morin of Calvert Citizens for a Healthy Community, which opposed the Dominion project, said, “Governor Hogan's appointment of former 1st District County Commissioner Jerry Clark to the District 29C Delegate seat vacated by Tony O'Donnell is a slap in the face to the people of southern Calvert County. In the 2014 primary election, Calvert County voters had already expressed their great displeasure with Jerry Clark by voting him out of

office as a County Commissioner. Jerry Clark failed to fulfill his duty as commissioner when he refused to consider the collective health and safety concerns of the people of the 1st District, particularly Lusby residents, who account for nearly one-fourth the county's population. Instead, Mr. Clark chose to permit a dangerous, polluting, fracked gas refinery, power plant, liquefaction and LNG export terminal be built in our community without conducting a Quantitative Risk Assessment according to NFPA 59A (2013) so the nearby communities know the real risks to which they are being subjected.”

Slate of Candidates Set for Beach This announcement came from outgoing Mayor Bruce Wahl, who has decided not to run for reelection. “The filing deadline for Mayor and Town Council just passed. Your Mayoral Candidates are Jeff Krahling and Pat Mahoney. For Town Council, the top six voter-getters of the following nine will be elected: Valerie Beaudin, Stewart Cumbo, Derek Favret, Cheryl Greene, Larry Jaworski, Greg Morris, Keith Pardieck, Jan Ruttkay and Patrick Schaeffer.” “I hope that citizens of Chesapeake Beach will take the time to learn about these candidates and choose wisely,” Wahl added. Mayoral candidate Mahoney was first elected to town council in 1996, and currently serves as Vice-President, filling in for the mayor when he is not inPhoto attendance. Krahling has been a Credit: Ben Schumin, Wikipedia. town council member since 2012.

Beaudin and Cumbo are incumbent council members, and Ruttkay was a previous council member. Two-term Councilman Bob Carpenter is not on the list of prospective candidates, nor is Eric Reinhardt, who served just one term. There will also be a Ballot Issue determining whether elected officials will be paid for the first time. Voters will be asked to vote yes or no whether the newly elected Mayor should receive an annual Mayoral compensation of $18,000. Voters will also decide whether members of the newly elected Town Council should receive annual compensation of $3,000 each. The Chesapeake Beach Town Election will be the same day as the Presidential Election, Tues. Nov. 8, from 7:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m.

Dear Chesapeake Current readers, Once again, on behalf of the Board of Directors and our staff, we’d like to thank everyone who helped make the 4th Annual Luau for Calvert Hospice a smashing success! This year we benefitted from the sale of over 370 tickets, the support of some 50 sponsors throughout our community, and donations from generous business partners and friends for our Silent Auction and raffles. As always, a special note of thanks goes to Jeannie Stone, who offered the Point at Stoney’s Broomes Island as the venue for this annual event, and to Dave Benson of Maryland Country Caterers, who provided Hawaiian-themed fare for everyone to enjoy. It was a hot night, a VERY hot night, but thanks to the beauty of the venue and the truly tasty cuisine, the evening turned out to be one to remember fondly. Of course many others contributed to those memories, including the NightLife Band, a hula and fire dancer, our very talented photographer Beth Graeme, and the hundreds of guests who attended! In addition we would like to thank the staff and volunteers of Calvert Hospice who worked so very hard to ensure all the moving parts of the event ran smoothly. The annual Luau, in addition to providing an evening of fun and entertainment, raises much needed funds for our Burnett Calvert Hospice House. This year’s Luau raised over $82,000 and we are grateful indeed to everyone who helped make that possible! The cost of maintaining and

staffing the Hospice House is currently more than $500,000 per year. Our fundraising events help to ensure that the Hospice House will continue to remain a valuable option for those who need this specialized care and enable us to provide quality end-of-life care to our patients and compassionate support for their families. Additionally, with ongoing support from our community we will continue to provide educational seminars and bereavement services to all Calvert County residents. We want everyone to know that Hospice is about making the most of every moment for patients and their families, and we remain in awe of the engagement of our community members who enable us to make each of those priceless moments possible. So thank you again, from the bottom of our hearts, for caring so much about Hospice and the work we do. We look forward to seeing everyone at all of our fundraising events, including this year’s First Annual Festival of Wreaths on November 19, our Culinary Event next year on April 21, and next year’s Luau on August 10!

Bill Burns, 78 William “Bill” Howard Burns, Sr., age 78, of Lusby, passed away in his home after a determined and courageous battle with cancer. Bill was an outstanding athlete, born in Alexis, IL to Kathryn Lutrell Burns and Robert McNamara Burns who owned a Drug

Store in Rock Island, IL for Nearly 40 years. Bill was born Sept. 23, 1937 the eldest of five boys. Bill was an outstanding three letter athlete who held track records for years. He also played football and basketball for some of Rock Island’s greatest teams. He played college football on a scholarship for St. Ambrose College in Davenport, before he enlisted in the Air Force; his final duty station was Andrews AFB, where he supported critical airborne communications for the President of the United States and senior leaders. While in the Air Force, he met and married Virginia “Ginny” Cole in 1965. He continued his career at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration until he retired. Bill loved life, he loved sports - playing, watching and coaching. He was involved with great athletes in and out of the family. It wouldn’t be a stretch to say he probably was involved with thousands of young people in both Prince George’s and Calvert Counties where he became a legend and icon during his 40-year coaching career. Bill also enjoyed bird watching, visiting with anyone he met, telling stories, music, dancing, playing cards (poker), and buffets. Bill translated his love for sports and people into his coaching career that began in the late 1970s with football in Suitland, MD. Shortly after moving to Lusby, he helped set up the SYB baseball program and eventually served as the Cal Ripken League Commissioner for Maryland. He also helped build a Boys & Girls program that went from several hundred children of all ages into a program that is well up into thousands

J o n a t h a n Matthew Goff, born on March 21, 1993 to Erica Lynne and Kevin Michael Goff, at Washington Hospital Center, Washington DC, passed away August 16, 2016 at the same hospital where he was born. Jonathan developed and was diagnosed with early symptoms of Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis (JRA) at the age of five, and continued treatment for episodic seasonal JRA flares into his late teens. He spent many combined months in the hospital during his worst times as a teenager. Jonathan lived in Chesapeake Beach with his mother Erica Sivils and step-father Bryan Sivils. Despite his medical setbacks through the years, he was still able to attend Windy Hill Middle School and had started a mild remission of his JRA symptoms before graduating from Northern High School on June 10, 2012. Outside of school, Jonathan's favorite activities included video games, managing and coding game websites, watching movies, diving, and loved his favorite cat, Junipur. He also played an important part acting as stepbrother to Tyler Sivils since his birth in 2006. In the years after he graduated, his health steadily declined, his JRA symptoms returned, and his mobility became increasingly difficult. After years of fighting immune disease, he started to develop other ailments as a result of underlying JRA issues including a progressive rare bone marrow disease, medication, transfusion, and dialysis side effects from kidney failure, and ultimately heart failure. He passed with his mother Erica at his side and was given last rites by a Catholic priest. Jonathan, understanding his rare disease and in the event of his passing, had left instructions for his remains to be donated to science to further education and treatments for others that might be found. Uniform Services University & Health Sciences will be the benefactors of his selfless donation, and the same doctors that treated him in his early years at Walter Reed Army Medical Center and NIH will be following this donation. Jonathan lived his life as best he could, despite the adversity of his conditions and developed into a young man that departed this Earth too shortly. Memorial donations may be made to: Jonathan Goff Memorial Fund at GoFundMe.com. Visitation will be Fri., Sept. 23 at 5:00 p.m. followed by a Memorial Service at 7:00 p.m. at Rausch Funeral Home, 8325 Mount Harmony Lane, Owings MD 20736.
