New Emergency Plan, New Vision for Prince Frederick Presented to County Commissioners

By Sarah Miller Staff Writer

book that summarizes the charrette outcome, including public input.

In other news, Division of Emergency Management Director Bobby Fenwick gave a short presentation to the commissioners outlining a proposed updated Emergency Operation Plan. The existing plan was last updated in 2004, he said. The commissioners voted to give the emergency management division the authority to take the updated plan to a public hearing to get community comments.

The plan outlines how the County will prepare for, respond to, and begin recovering from a major emergency or disaster that might take place in the County.

It is an all Hazards Plan which means it is used to respond to any major emergency or disaster, including storms, flood, earthquake, industrial accidents, terrorism or hazardous materials incident.

To accomplish the plan assigns roles and responsibilities to county departments, agencies and offices as well as state and public partners that play a role in the county’s plan.

The presentations to the Board of County Commissioners can be seen at md-calvertcounty.civicplus.com.

Two work sessions during the Aug. 27 Board of County Commissioners meeting showed changes on the horizon for the county.

Craig Lewis with The Lawrence Group and Jenny Plummer Welker with the Department of Community Planning and Building brought the county commissioners up to speed on. In addition to the commissioners, members of the public, county employees and planning commission members, came to hear the update.

Following a five-day charette during the week of June 10 through 14, an 11-member consulting project team from The Lawrence Group and Fuss and O’Neil, in conjunction with County staff, worked to create a vision for Prince Frederick that encompassed all aspects of life in the county. Members of the public were invited to come to St. Paul’s Church every evening to see what work had been done and voice their opinion about proposed plans.

The final vision is a more pedestrian friendly Prince Frederick, with open spaces designed for community gatherings and residential infill. sarahmiller@countytimes.net “It’s long range,” said Photo by Sarah Miller commissioner Susan Shaw, in favor of the plans. “We’ve always been about what’s market able and preferable now, but not long range.”

T h e Lawrence Group will provide a final presentation Craig Lewis, left, and Jenny Plummer Welker brief the BOCC.

Commissioner Candidate Lineup Shaping Up

By Sarah Miller Staff Writer New commissioners won’t be elected until fall of 2014, but that isn’t deterring candidates from filing. Prince Frederick resident Ben Krause joined current commissioner Evan Slaughenhoupt and David Gatton in declaring candidacy for a seat on the Board of County Commissioners.

At 25, Krause would be one of the youngest commissioners in the history of Calvert County. The Illinois native moved to Calvert in 2000. He has a bachelor’s degree in international history from Frostburg and a master’s degree in politics and history of the west from Salisbury. For the past 7 years for Calvert County with the department of natural resources, a position he would resign if elected. He plans to get a second master’s degree in law, focusing on constitutional and criminal law. He considers himself a “Ron Paul republican” and hopes to address issues he sees with the budget and use of funds in Calvert County. Like commissioner Slaughenhoupt, he believes the budget build is not as efficient as it should be and intends to lend his support to efforts to refine the process.

He believes the county government needs to make more of an effort to educate

Planning Commission Denies Dive Team Application ­ y Sarah Miller B Staff Writer The Calvert County Planning Commission upheld the Prince Frederick Architectural Review Committee’s decision to deny the Calvert County Rescue Dive Team’s application for a 22 by 40 foot storage garage during their Aug. 21 meeting.

This was the second time the Planning Commission saw the issue, having sent the matter back to the committee at a previous meeting because the committee hadn’t had a quorum at the meeting when they originally made their recommendation.

The review committee discussed the matter at their July 18 meeting and found that the application did not comply with two provisions of the Prince Frederick Town Center Zoning Ordinance. The roof pitch was inadequate and it was to be built with horizontal metal siding. The ordinance allows buildings materials such as wood, shingles, stucco, split face block and stone, but specifically prohibits uncovered cinderblock and metal siding.

The planning commission voted unanimously to deny the application.

approved New Life Baptist Church’s application to add a 6,978 sq. ft. addition to existing structure, “for Church services/functions,” according to planning commission documents. Planning Commission members expressed concern that the parking at the church, planned to be expanded with the building, would still be inadequate for the new seating capacity, proposed to be more than 150. Church representatives said they would consider the matter, and the planning commission approved their application. sarahmiller@countytimes.net

citizens and should be open to using social media and alternative methods to reach everyone in the community.

“I want to see us stop stifling progress,” Krause said.

The commissioners need to be mote actively involved in issues concerning Calvert residents, such as the gun rallies held during the last legislative session.

Krause formally filed on Aug. 27. The filing deadline is 9 p.m. on Feb. 25, 2014. sarahmiller@countytimes.net

Calvert County to Prince Frederick Shopping Hold Household Center Scheduled for Overhaul Hazardous Waste Collection Day

By Sarah Miller Staff Writer

Sept. 14 Event Offers Free Waste Disposal for County Residents The Calvert County Department of Public Works, Division of Solid Waste, is hosting a household hazardous waste collection day on Saturday, Sept. 14, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Mt. Hope Community Center at 104 Pushaw Station Road in Sunderland. The event will give Calvert County residents the opportunity to safely dispose of hazardous substances free of charge.

During the collection day, a licensed contractor will collect household hazardous waste for proper disposal. Collection is limited to Calvert County residents only and proof of residency is required. Waste from commercial businesses is prohibited.

The service ensures that Calvert County meets all state and federal requirements with regard to the safe collection of household hazardous waste.

Hazardous waste commonly found in the home includes materials such as oil-based paints, pool chemicals, solvents, fertilizers and other items usually labeled with the words “DANGER,” “POISON,” “TOXIC” or “WARNING.” These items should be separated from regular household trash and disposed of in an environmentally friendly way. Latex paint, however, is not hazardous and may be thrown out with regular trash once it has dried and will not be accepted. Small amounts of latex paint can be left to dry in an open can. Larger amounts can be combined with oil absorbent, kitty litter or paint hardener until it is hard.

County residents may drop off trash, recyclables and certain other materials at customer convenience centers and the Appeal Landfill, including motor oil and oil filters, antifreeze, propane tanks, fire extinguishers, batteries, electronics and various types of light bulbs.

Hazardous waste collection days are held four times a year in Calvert County – one Saturday in March and September at the Mt. Hope Community Center and one Saturday in June and November at the Appeal Landfill.

For more information, call the Calvert County Department of Public Works, Division of Solid Waste, at 410-3260210 or visit the Calvert County website at www.co.cal. md.us/hazardouswaste for a full listing of materials accepted.

The Calvert Village Marketplace in Prince Frederick will soon see drastic changes as ECHO Reality takes control of the property, having purchased it on Dec. 31, 2012.

The shopping center already has a strong east end presence with Safeway, but the west end is weak, with a breezeway meant to lead to the movie theater that ended up being wasted space, according to ECHO Reality Senior Vice President Howard Biel.

The shopping center redesign will feature a TJ Maxx as the new anchor store on the west end, in addition to smaller specialty shops.

If all goes according to plan, Biel anticipates demolition will begin in December or January, with new store opening in the summer. With the new construction, the whole shopping center will be renovated on the outside, Biel said, including new paint and cleaning facades.

The work will make a “strong shopping center” in a place that is now a “mixed blessing,” Biel said. sarahmiller@countytimes.net

COUNTY NEWS United Way Of Calvert County’s Golf Classic Raises 10k In A Day Thursday, August 29, 2013

United Way of Calvert County’s official fundraising campaign season doesn’t kick off until September, but the organization’s second annual Golf Classic at Twin Shields Golf Club on August 19 got the ball rolling by netting over $10,000 for its Community Impact Fund. Local businesses SMECO, PNC Bank, Constellation Energy Nuclear Group and King Electric made a strong showing of community support as major event sponsors.

To put this fundraising achievement into perspective, United Way President & CE0 Kelly Chambers breaks it down. “Ten thousand dollars awarded through our Education Impact Grants annually amounts to 20 underserved middle school youth equipped with the knowledge and skills to prepare for college, 8 abused children receiving intensive therapy to overcome their trauma, and 3 at-risk families empowered to be their child’s best teacher through weekly literacy instruction with their children.” “The fact that we can change the lives of more than 30 people with a lively round of golf is just one of the reasons our Golf Classic is so important,” says Chambers.

The United Way of Calvert County (UWCC)Golf Classic kicked off with a rousing speech and tribute to sponsors from event chair and United Way board chair Tom Hejl. Hejl and fellow committee members Chris Moore of ReMax One, Clif Bridegum of Your Digital Salesman, Jenny Barrett of M&T Bank, Beverly Brown of Hilton Garden Inn, and Karen Shields Keen of Twin Shields Golf Club, helped to secure 32 sponsorships from generous local businesses and 18 teams.

In its sophomore year the UWCC Golf Classic gave

The Calvert Gazette

golfers a healthy start to the day’s activities with a breakfast of fresh fruit and homemade treats courtesy of Hilton Garden Inn followed by a power bar from interactive sponsor S.J. Johnson Propane & Fuel. The event brought a few surprises too, not the least of which was a giant blow up cow, which when struck by the golf ball resulted in free sandwiches for a year from Chick Fil A in Edgewater. SMECO Board Member, Danny Dyer, and United Way Board Member, Steve Jones, struck sandwich gold when they hit the cow with just one swing of the club. Throughout the course were other chances to win great prizes like gift certificates from Sneade’s Ace Hardware, Solomons Island Tiki Bar, Twin Shields Pro Shop and the definitive gold pot at the end of the rainbowa new Toyota Camry from Bayside Auto Group for a hole in one, which one golfer missed by a mere 20 inches.

After a summer barbeque lunch from Maryland Country Caterers, participants tried their luck at door prizes and competed in a live auction for a Solomons Getaway package from Hilton Garden Inn and a signature massage from Jacqueline Morgan Day Spa. Afterwards, special recognition and prizes were awarded to this year’s team winners: Community Bank of Tri-County in first place, King Electric featuring Huntingtown High School’s varsity golf team in second place, and Scott Hill’s team in

third place. The applause continued for winners Tom Hejl for men’s long drive, Megan Baburek for ladies’ long drive, Cameron Sydnor for men’s closest to the pin, Renee Canon for ladies’ closest to the pin and Chris Moore for the putting contest. Hejl concluded the day with a post on United Way’s Facebook page, “The Golf Classic was a huge success- the weather was great and everyone that participated said they had a great time.”

What’s Cookin’ on the Island

By Kimberly Alston Contributing Writer

Owners David Napierskie and Sandy Stallings are looking to bring a new taste in cuisine to Solomons. Napierskie had described the menu as seafood with an Italian influence. With Stallings’ passion for food, being in the industry for over 30 years, it is guaranteed that everything at The Striped Rock is local and fresh. “New food is brought in every other day,” Stallings said, adding that they very rarely use the freezers.

“Food is my passion,” said Stallings, “It’s important to give back to what’s given to us.” The Striped Rock gets its produce from local vendors such as Chesapeake’s Bounty and Nick’s Seafood as well as others in the area. Prices range from $7 to about $25, and the specials, which are served during the weekends, are based on what is “fresh, available and in season” according to Stallings.

The Striped Rock also has a completely different look from the building’s previous ownership. Napierskie said that they’ve added a bigger kitchen. “You’d never recognize it,” he said. “We’ve completely gutted the downstairs,” Stallings added. While the upstairs part of the building still has the bar, due to its importance to the community, they’ve moved things around and added new features, giving the space a more “classy and upscale” feel to it, according to Stallings. “We wanted something more clean and modern” she said. “We’ve created a casual atmosphere with quality service.”

“The community has been very supportive of us” Napierskie said, “even local competition.” Stallings added that they’ve received a “phenomenal reception,” especially with the new addition of breakfast seven days a week, which they’ve added.

At The Striped Rock, customers will receive fresh, quality food with little to no fried products. For a casual dining experience, the downstairs area is “hospitable and modern” according to Napierskie, while the upstairs can serve as a “more quiet and relaxed sort of date night” he said. Stallings said that a baby grand piano will be moved to the upstairs in the near future and a musician will be playing several times per week as well.

The Striped Rock is open Monday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. at 14470 Solomons Island, in Solomons. For more information visit thestripedrock.com or email the stripedrock@gmail.com kimberlyalston@countytimes.net

By Sarah Miller Staff Writer Calvert Library is looking for help from teens countywide to help make the library an awesome place for students of all ages to hang out.

“I wish more kids thought it was cool to come here,” said longtime member Maddie Buckley, a senior at Northern High School.

Buckley joined T.A.C.O.S. in her freshman year, along with several friends, many of whom have already graduated or are current seniors. Her goal is to encourage younger teens to join the advisory group and keep it going.

Huntingtown High School junior Camden Raines joined the group last year and enjoyed the experience so much she came back for another year. During her first year in T.A.C.O.S., Raines was involved in a cakepop war and played the role of a zombie during the first ever Zombie Apocalypse in November 2012.

T.A.C.O.S. started in 2002 with funds from the Cigarette Restitution Fund Program, according to library spokesperson Robyn Truslow. At first, they were pulling groups of teens together to ask what they through the library needed. In 2006 students decided they needed a formal group and formed T.A.C.O.S., Truslow said.

Some of the first events the teens planned were movie nights, she said, a tradition continued through the years. One movie night planned this year is an interactive screening of “The Avengers,” according to group adviser Tiffany Sutherland. This year is Sutherland’s first with the group after volunteering to work with them. Every library employee leads a group or two, Sutherland said, and she chose to work with T.A.C.O.S. because she enjoys working with teens.

The start of a new school year means the start of a new season for T.A.C.O.S. – the teen advisory council of students. Students ages 13 through 19 are invited to join T.A.C.O.S. to help plan events, amp up the libraries social media presence and revamp the Teen Zone.

T.A.C.O.S.’s first meeting will be Wednesday, Sept. 25 from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at the Calvert Library in Prince Frederick.

Making Classrooms More Efficent

By Sarah Miller Staff Writer Our Lady Star of the Sea School teachers geared up for their first day of school with a professional development session with Ted Haynie, a professor with Talson University who teaches at the Southern Maryland Higher Education Center. He talked to teachers about differential learning, including students with attention deficit disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

“It’s not that they can’t pay attention,” he said. “It’s that they pay attention to everything.”

They discussed what makes an effective classroom and

the attributes of effective teachers in large group sessions and smaller breakout sessions.

Our Lady Star of the Sea School Principal Deacon Christopher Jensen taught with Haynie when they were both at Calvert County Public Schools and was glad Haynie agreed to offer a professional development opportunity at Our Lady Star of the Sea. Haynie helps teachers focus on the positive aspects of their job and celebrate success rather than focus on the difficult parts of teaching, he said.

“We need to remember that we got into it because we enjoyed it,” sarahmiller@countytimes.net

parents to check their students grades and homework assignments more efficiently, middle and high school students will be using turnitin.com to submit their essays and the lower school students will each get a personal iPad through the brand new 1:1 iPad program.

Calverton expanded the technology budget by 200 percent for the current school year, Taintor said. In coming years, all elementary school and middle school students will receive iPads, made available through a lease agreement with Apple and at no cost to the parents. Upper school students are already required to bring a tablet or laptop to school, he said. Because upper school students have more specific needs for their classes, such as art or finance, they will continue to bring their own devices, Taintor said.

Making technology available to students at a young age makes them more comfortable as they grow up, learning to annotate and work with digital books alone.

In addition to the technological programs, Taintor said the school’s new turf field is nearly complete and will open in September, after being delayed due to rain earlier in the summer.

He encouraged new families to come talk to him is they ever have questions of concerns.

“My office is open to each and every one of you,” Taintor said.

Patrick Shomo visited Calverton with his daughter, one of Calverton’s brand new kindergarten students.

“Calverton has the perfect mix of larger school amenities and small town, small school feel,” he said, adding the staff has been helpful during their transition into Calverton and he is excited to join the Calverton community. sarahmiller@countytimes.net

STORY

Stoney’s: A Calvert County Classic

By Sarah Miller Staff Writer “It’s pretty bad when you sleep with your phone,” said Stoney’s Seafood House coowner Jeannie Cousineaux-Stone. After more than 20 years running the business with her husband, Phil Stone, Cousineaux-Stone still stays up late waiting for the end-of-business numbers and works shifts behind the bar.

Stoney’s Broomes Island will celebrate its 27th anniversary at the end of September, according to Cousineaux-Stone. The crab house has come a long way since her husband purchased a small shack half the size of the current Broomes Island location in 1989 and opened for business.

Four Locations and Growing Cousineaux-Stone came to Calvert County from Louisiana in 1995 and took a job at the Rod ‘n’ Reel restaurant in Chesapeake Beach, where she got very close to owners Gerald and Mary Donovan. Phil Stone is a Calvert County native who wanted to start a crab house in the county. There were plenty in St. Mary’s County, Cousineaux-Stone said, and Stone saw several people he knew from Calvert whenever he went to one. In an effort to fill the need, he bought an old restaurant in Broomes Island and, in 1989, opened the first Stoney’s branch.

A few years later, Cousineaux-Stone left the Rod ‘n’ Reel to work as a bartender at Stoney’s. Today, the two are married and the business now includes an additional three res-

taurants – Prince Frederick, Kingfisher’s and the pier on Solomons Island.

Stoney’s isn’t finished growing. The owners have been scouting locations in Virginia Beach for a fifth location. The new location would bring some of Southern Maryland to Virginia Beach, Cousineaux-Stone said.

The new restaurant would feature local favorites, such as Stoney’s signature crab cakes, rockfish gyros and rockfish bites. Restaurants in Virginia Beach claim to offer crab cakes, but none compare to what’s found in Southern Maryland, Cousineaux-Stone said.

The original location is “…unique retreat from the suburban sprawl of southern Maryland. For over 20 years, this location has been serving our famous crab cake and steamed crabs. This is where one can arrive by boat or car and really relax beside the scenic Island Creek. Whether you seek a romantic date or a fun time at the tiki bar, Broomes Island is sure to impress,” according to the website.

The Broomes Island location is only 10 minutes away from the Thomas Johnson Bridge by boat, Cousineaux-Stone said. Like the Broomes Island location, Kingfishers and Solomons Pier are accessible by land and sea and boast a casual, laid back atmosphere. All locations feature doggie dining, allowing customers to “eat outside with your best friend,” according to the website.

The pier is the newest location having opened 10 years ago, Cousineaux-Stone said.

The Kingfishers location opened 12 years ago and the prince Frederick location opened 16 years ago.

“It all kind of runs together after a while,” Cousineaux-Stone joked.

Solomon’s Pier

A History of Customer and Community Service

Jeanie Cousineaux-Stone shows off the Stoney’s Solomon’s Pier Location

Cousineaux-Stone believes it is important to be active members of the community, and to be a blessing to the community that allows her and her husband to thrive.

“It’s just what you do,” she said.

“I was always raised so you give back.”

Stoney’s has hosted fundraisers that raised $3,000 for Wounded Wear for Wounded Warriors, $11,000 for Shop with a Cop. One of the most recent fundraisers was a Luau for Hospice, held at the Broomes Island location to benefit Calvert Hospice. During that fundraiser, Cousineaux-Stone‘s connection with Mary and Gerald Donovan came into play. The Donovan family donated the first $5,000 to the Luau for Hospice and offered valuable advice from their years hosting the Cancer Gala. Cousineaux-Stone said.

Cousineaux-Stone was asked to run for Mardi Grad Queen with the United Way this year, and will be hosting a fundraiser at the pier location this fall to benefit the United Way. “Jeannie Stone is committed to her community and has a heart of gold,” said Calvert Hospice Executive Director Brenda Laughhunn. “There are not enough good words to say,” she added.

Cousineaux-Stone considers her customers family, as do many employees. They memorize favorite drink and food orders and keep up lively conversations, contributing to the relaxed atmosphere that keeps customers coming back, Cousineaux-Stone said. During football season she, a Saints fan, is always outnumbered by Redskins fans. Her favorite way of keeping customer, and coworker, razzing in check is to threaten to cut off their beer supply.

Even during the most raucous event she maintains a measure of organization, making for some “controlled chaos” but never complete breakdowns.

Continuing the family-like atmosphere, Cousineaux-Stone calls her employees her “kids.” In return, several employees jokingly call her “mama.” She recently hosted a baby shower for one of her longtime employees, who, now 35, started working at Stoney’s when she was 18. Her employees know to pick up the slack when they need to, and CousineauxStone can be found behind the bar and waiting tables along with the most junior of her employees. “”I’m not a desk person,” she said. She prefers to work with and around people.

Some of her longtime employees have become integral parts of the business. Banquet Manager Crystal Bowen and Solomon’s Pier General Manager Katie York have both been with Stoney’s for 10 years. Between connections forged between regular customers and longtime employees, Stoney’s is an example of “social networking in person,” York said.

Kingfishers Owner and General Manager Eric Faughnan began working with Stoney’s when he was 18, as a job during vacations from college. When he graduated, Cousineaux-Stone and her husband offered him a chance to help operate the business, and he jumped at the opportunity.

“Most 23 year olds don’t have the opportunity to run a multi million dollar business,” he said. “To not take the opportunity would be crazy.”

Offering longtime employees a chance to take ownership of the business is a reward Cousineaux-Stone feels inspires the dedication needed to continue Stoney’s success.

About Alzheimer’s Disease More than 5 million Americans have Alzheimer’s disease, the nation’s sixth leading cause of death. Alzheimer’s is the only top 10 cause of death with no cure, prevention or way to slow its progression. Deaths from Alzheimer's increased 68 percent between 2000 and 2010, while deaths from other major diseases, including the number one cause of death (heart disease), decreased. One in three seniors will die with Alzheimer’s or another dementia. In 2013, the direct costs of caring for those with Alzheimer's to American society will total an estimated $203 billion, including $142 billion in costs to Medicare and Medicaid.

86,000 Maryland residents aged 65 and older have Alzheimer’s.

Nearly 10% of Maryland residents over the age of 60 report that they are experiencing confusion or memory loss that is happening more often or is getting worse. Over 85 percent of them have not spoken with a health care professional about their concerns. For those with worsening memory problems, one in four says it has interfered with household activities and/or work or social activities. More than 48 percent of Maryland residents with memory problems live alone.

Alzheimer’s disease places an enormous emotional and financial burden on individuals and families. Last year, 282,000 Maryland residents – family members and friends – provided 321 million hours of unpaid care valued at $3.9 billion. More than 60 percent of Alzheimer's and dementia caregivers rate the emotional stress of caregiving as high or very high; more than one-third report symptoms of depression.

They retired to Dorset, Vt., in 1971 to the house they designed and built over the preceding ten years.

Among Marguerite’s passions was the great outdoors: gardens of ferns, flowers and vegetables; songbirds and wildflowers she discovered on hikes. Her first love was always her family for whom she made home a very special place.

Following her husband’s death after 66 years of marriage, Marguerite moved to Wildewood Village in California, Md., and finally to her daughter’s home in Lusby, Md., where she died peacefully with her family by her side.

Meet the Ultimate Cheapskate

By Kimberly Alston Contributing Writer Approximately eight years ago Jeff Yeager was introduced to the world and dubbed “The Ultimate Cheapskate” by Matt Lauer on the Today Show. Yeager is a writer who has dedicated his time to writing lifestyle books that focus on “improving your life if you’re willing to spend less,” he said. Yeager believes that, for most Americans, the quality of life would improve if they would spend less. He lives by the motto “money is time” explaining that money is made by selling time in exchange for it, therefore; the less money that is spent, the more time will be had.

Yeager has concluded that most Americans have regrets about approximately 80 percent of the products they buy. Going by this logic, if people were more selfaware of how the products they purchase now could affect them later, they could save money be happier by not buying them. Yeager argues that, north of the poverty line; there is no social science that money does not create happiness because they have little to no correlation.

“Cheapskates,” he said, “value time more than money”.

Back when Yeager was younger, he said that spending money was “kind of a last resort”. Because his parents were children during the depression, Yeager remembers that, “we didn’t have a lot, but we always seemed to have enough”. Going off of that logic, Yeager challenges himself and others to ask the question of themselves of “what would enough money and enough time look like, for you?” Once that question is answered, Yeager said, that is the amount of money that they need to spend. Applying the same principle to his personal life, Yeager said, “I may not be rich, but I have enough

to live comfortably”.

Yeager claims that he and other “cheapskates” like him have the mentality of not caring what other people think of them. He said that while some time ago everyone was focused on “keeping up with the Jones’” now it’s gotten to the point where that is not good enough and people are now trying to have everything that is seen on television.

Yeager’s response to that mentality is one that a fellow cheapskate said to him years ago, “The Jones’ can kiss my assets”.

According to Yeager, Americans are consuming 50 percent more “stuff” than they were 50 years ago. That applies to food, houses, appliances and the like. Yeager has calculated that “an American baby born today is projected to spend $600,000 in interest over their lifetime”.

“We have so much,” he said “and it’s kept for a shorter period of time”.

In response to the way of life today, Yeager has come up with a solution. Short of a home mortgage, he largely refuses to take on debt. “If you can’t afford it at the time, you don’t need it,” he said.

For those wanting to take on the life of a “cheapskate” Yeager advises to go on a “fiscal fast”. This means that for one week out of the year, go without spending money. At the end of the week, he said, three things will be learned: how much money can be saved in a week, how to spend/waste less during the week and how much great stuff is available without money.

Yeager believes that the difference between him and others who have the same message is that “if you

do this you are going to have a better life that you do right now”.

Jeff Yeager will be giving a lecture on Frugal Living at the Calvert Library in Prince Frederick on September 5 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. His books, including “The Ultimate Cheapskate Roadmap to True Riches” will be available as well. Yeager participates in a weekly show on YouTube called “The Cheap Life with Jeff Yeager” as well. For more information, visit www.ultimatecheapskate.com. kimberlyalston@countytimes.net

From my Backyard to our Bay A Calvert County Resident’s Guide to Improving Our Environment and Drinking Water

The Chesapeake Biological Laboratory From My Backyard to Our Bay is a small but powerful booklet that was first developed by the Baltimore Soil Conservation District. From there, several counties republished a version tailored to their county resources.

Calvert County’s booklet was developed by the Citizens Green Team.

FREE COPIES can be obtained at Annmarie Gardens, at local libraries, or downloaded at calvertgreenexpo.org.

If the 17.5 million residents who live in the Chesapeake Bay watershed area read this booklet, and took to heart its suggestions and best practices, the Chesapeake Bay would see a dramatic increase in health.

Founded in 1925, the Chesapeake Biological Laboratory has long been a national leader in fisheries, environmental chemistry and toxicology, ecosystem science and restoration ecology. Located where the Patuxent River meets the Chesapeake Bay, CBL is home to approximately 120 scientists, graduate students and staff. Over the decades, CBL has developed a national and international reputation for the quality of its research.

Research is conducted at CBL in four main areas: Fisheries, Ecology, Geochemistry and Toxicology. The fisheries group played a pivotal role in research that led to the recovery of the striped bass, and most recently the blue crab, in the Chesapeake Bay. They conduct state-of-the-art work on habitat use by fish such as tuna, sturgeon and white perch. In addition to studying the Bay, the ecology group studies ecosystems from Calvert County to the Arctic. These studies focus on understanding how

previous changes in these ecosystems help in restoration and in forecasting how they may change in the future.

Many of CBL’s studies have direct applications – for example CBL scientists have considerable expertise in approaches to treating ship’s ballast water to minimize introduction of exotic species. The geochemistry group studies the fate and transport of elements and chemicals throughout the environment.

These studies use sophisticated instrumentation to measure trace amounts of chemicals in natural environments worldwide. Finally, the toxicology group integrates many of these disciplines to understand the harmful effects of the releases of chemicals, such as crude oil, into the environment.

The Visitor Center at CBL attracts thousands of visitors a year and is run by over 50 volunteers in the Docent Program. Visit www.umces.edu/cbl/ visitors-center-outreach for Visitor Center hours and tour schedules. For more information contact the CBL Outreach Coordinator at 410-326-7640.

This is the fourth in a series of articles that Mary Ann Scott (maryann.scott58@yahoo.com) has adapted from From My Backyard to Our Bay in the hopes of increasing awareness of this powerful booklet that could do so much to help the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries. Be sure to look for the next article in next week’s Calvert Gazette!

Maryland My Maryland A Photographer’s Vision at CMH Foundation Ball

“Maryland my Maryland: A Photographer’s Vision”, is a photographic exhibition that will be shown at the Artworks at 7th Gallery in North Beach, Maryland, during the month of September. The show, as its title implies, features landscapes and subjects all from the state of Maryland.

William H. Thayer, known as Bill to his friends, is a professional music educator whose avocation is landscape and subject photography.

Bill began his experience in photography working with a rangefinder 35mm film camera at the age of 14. He attended Frankfurt American High School in Germany and became active on the high school yearbook staff developing and printing his own black and white pictures. He credits his German photography teacher, Herr Edgar Schmidt, with inspiring his life-long love of photography. Bill attended the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque where he took some photography classes when his busy musical schedule allowed. Bill, now 58, has been working with digital still photography and is focusing on the unique beauty of Southern Anne Arundel County and Calvert County.

“As a photographer, I look at color photography in a similar fashion as my black and white photography of years ago. That is, with high contrast and impact. My aim is to draw the eye with an exciting and vibrant image.”

Bill Thayer

Bill has been published many times in commercial publications and websites. He was featured in the December 2012 issue of What’s Up Annapolis magazine in the article “Barns of South County” as well as a picture of “Sunrise on Solomon’s Back Creek” in Baltimore Magazine. His photo of the State House in Annapolis was used as background for the Maryland State tourism brochure of 2010.

Bill lives in Owings, Maryland (Calvert County), with his wife Melinda and three children--William, Michael, and Marianne. He has been a teacher at Southern High School in Anne Arundel County for 20 years.

“Maryland, My Maryland, A Photographer’s Perspective,” runs August 31 through September 29. An opening reception to meet the artist will be held August 31 from 1 to 5 p.m. with light refreshments.

Artworks @7th is a cooperative gallery comprised of approximately 30 talented local artists since 2003. Highlights throughout the year include the Annual Small Works Show in November and December and the show to benefit CAWL in January. Solo and group shows run monthly and an opening reception is usually held on the first Saturday of every month.

Regular gallery hours are Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Friday 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. For more information regarding Artworks @7th coop and our shows, see our website at www.artworks@7th.com.

Calvert Marine Museum Builds 14-Foot Runabout Volunteers of the Patuxent Small Craft Guild (an organization dedicated to the preservation of wooden boat building skills); at the Calvert Marine Museum recently completed work on a beautiful 14foot runabout. Work started on the runabout in November of 2012 using plans for “Mustang,” a runabout designed by William Jackson for the Boat Builder’s Handbook, a publication of Science and Mechanics Magazine in 1957. The deck layout was modified using plans from “Meteor,” another William Jackson design. The boat is planked with marinegrade plywood and framed with onehundred year old white oak. The vintage 12-horsepower Brookline outboard was produced by OMC for the Speigel Catalog of Chicago.

The boat was built to showcase Calvert Marine Museum’s current exhibit, “Thrills and Spills – the Golden Era of Powerboat Racing in Southern Maryland” and will be sold to raise funds for

the small craft program. The boat can currently be viewed in the lobby of the museum Exhibition Building and will remain there throughout the summer.

On-going boat building and restoration projects can be seen at the Patuxent Small Craft Center at the museum on Tuesdays and Saturdays.

The museum is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is $9 for adults, $7 for seniors and military with valid I.D., and $4 for children ages 5 – 12; children under 5 and museum members are always admitted free. For more information about the museum, upcoming events, or membership, visit the website at www. calvertmarinemuseum.com or call 410326-2042. Like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter.

Blue Crabs Trounce Bridgeport Bluefish WALDORF, Md. – The Southern Maryland Blue Crabs took on the Bridgeport Bluefish in the fourth and final game of their weeklong home stand. It was the final time the Blue Crabs and ‘fish would meet on the year with the Crabs holding a 10-7 record on the season.

Right-handed pitcher Ian Marshall got the ball for the Blue Crabs in hopes of picking up his 11th win on the season. The Blue Crabs offense would explode for six runs in the bottom of the first and would win going away 6-1.

After losing the night before, the ‘fish were able to get on the board first. With one out, Austin Krum singled. Prentice Redman would follow with a single of his own and Krum would come around to score on an Alexis Gomez single.

The Crabs answered right back in a big way in the home half of the first inning as they sent 12 batters to a plate in a six run first inning. In the inning, the Blue Crabs recorded six runs on five hits and one error. All but one the Blue Crabs hits in the inning came in the

form of a single.

After the Bluefish would stage a brief comeback in the top half of the seventh inning, the Blue Crabs broke out the bats again in the home half of the seventh inning as the Crabs would tally three runs on three hits.

The highlight of the inning would come from the bat of Brian Barton as he laced a single to left-center to score two runs.

The early run support would be plenty of RHP Ian Marshall, as he threw six innings of nine hit baseball, while striking out three and walking one. Kyle Mertins, Charlie Manning, and Tim Redding would come in in relief to prevent any thought of a Bluefish comeback.

BLUE CRABS HIGHLIGHTS: RHP: I. Marshall: 6IP, 9 H, 4 R, 1 BB, 3 K RF: B. Barton: 2-5, R, 2 RBI SS: M. Richard: 4-4, R, RBI C: J. Salas: 2-4, 2 R, RBI 3B: C. Nicolas: 2-5, 1 R, 1 RBI

Warrior Fun Run and Sail

Patuxent’s Habitat for Humanity will team up with Spencer Wait to bring the first annual Warrior Fun Run and Sail to Solomon’s Island on Aug. 31. Wait, the event organizer, came up with the idea to host an event day to give back to the Wounded Warrior Project in a way other than the existing GI Veterans bill program in February.

As a long time sailor and runner, Wait wanted to incorporate those activities into a community event. Once the event became more large scale, he enlisted the help of Patuxent’s Habitat for Humanity and it grew even more.

The day is composed of three events: a 5K, boat races and celebration barbeque and concert. The 5K begins at 8 a.m. at the Calvert Marine Museum. The path goes along the Patuxent River and ends at the Museum once more. The race is not timed and walkers are encouraged as well.

Following the race, spectators are encouraged to stay and watch as the warrior sail boat races commence.

There will be a parade of boats by the Coast Guard followed by all the boats participating in the regatta. There will also be a fly by scheduled by a local pilot. After two or three races, at 2 p.m., everyone is encouraged to

gather at the Solomon’s Annex Recreation Center where a barbeque and concert will be provided from 3 to 7 p.m.

The music will be provided by the US Navy Country Current.

Each activity throughout the day benefits the armed forces in some way. While everyone is encouraged to participate in the events, the boat races can also serve as training for new selected chief petty officers. Boat owner are encouraged to provide a minimum sailing crew in order to allow the trainees to participate. Sailboats of all sizes and sailors of all experiences are welcome.

Being active in the US Navy for 20 years, Wait has been looking for ways to give back to the armed forces for years. “This is something I’ve always wanted to do,” he said. Planning for next year’s event begins September 1 according to Wait.

For this event, spectators, family and friends of participants are welcome. Early registration is encouraged for all participants as well as attendance at the Packet Pick-up Party being held Friday, August 30 for all those participating in the Regatta or the 5K fun run.

All benefits from the day’s event will be donated to local Wounded Warrior projects, the DAUAA and the Patuxent Habitat for Humanity. The First Annual Warrior Fun Run and Sail will be held at various places along

Solomon’s Island. Events will begin at 8 a.m. The events are outdoors, feel free to bring blankets chairs and coolers. For more information about the event, visit warriorfunrunandsail.wordpress.com/ or www.facebook.com/ PHHWarriorFunRunAndSail. kimblerlyalston@countytimes.net

Riders of all levels will compete in Maryland’s official state sport during the 147th Annual Calvert County Jousting Tournament at Christ Episcopal Church.

Jousting is recognized as the oldest equestrian sport in the world and reminds enthusiasts of the Middle Ages when men waged war and battled to the death from atop their horses. Today’s jousters compete to demonstrate their keen horsemanship, skill and sportsmanship in “The Ring Tournaments,” a unique and colorful sport filled with age-old customs and pageantry.

The public is invited to experience this exciting piece of Maryland history. Jousting starts at noon and donations will be accepted for admission to the grounds for the tournament and bazaar. All proceeds benefit Christ Episcopal Church.

The event includes a church bazaar from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. featuring books, baked goods, toys, plants, crafts and much more.

Music will be performed in the church from 1 to 4 p.m. (rain or shine) featuring a variety of vocal and instrumental music.

A country supper from 2:30 to 6:30 p.m. offers fried chicken, deviled crab or ham as entrees with various sides, beverages and desserts sure to please any palate. Boxed suppers will be available from noon to 6 p.m.

Christ Episcopal Church has long been part of Calvert County’s history. The present church dates from 1772, although a log church was originally built on the grounds as early as 1672.

For more information on the jousting tournament or Christ Episcopal Church, visit www. christchurchcalvert.org emailchristchurchcalvert@comcast.net; or call 410-586-0565.
