Gas Spill at Prince Frederick Wawa

News Public Forum Focuses on Prince Frederick By Sarah Miller Staff Writer

Photos by Sarah Miller

By Sarah Miller Staff Writer There was a diesel gas spill at the Wawa located in Prince Frederick on Saturday, Sept. 13. Prince Frederick Volunteer Fire Department Fire Chief Tim Delehanty was on scene at the accident. His team was responsible for localizing the gasoline and preventing further spread. The Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) is responsible for regulation and investigation of the incident, Delehanty said. According to MDE Spokesperson Jay Apperson, the tanker involved belonged to Baltimore Tank Lines. The spill occurred because the storage tanker came loose and the line separated, spilling no more than 25 gallons of diesel before the driver was able to shut the pump down. The driver informed MDE representatives that approximately five gallons of diesel got into a nearby storm drain, but as of time of print, no gasoline had been found in the wastewater pond the storm drain empties into, Apperson said. The Prince Frederick Volunteer Fire Department will continue to monitor the pond, Apperson said. If they find evidence of diesel, the tank company will be required to clean it up. “They’re a very responsible tank truck company,” Apperson said. sarahmiller@countytimes.net

The League of Women Voters hosts regular public discussions to address topics of concern in Calvert County. This month’s topic was the future of Prince Frederick and the charette process the county hosted in June 2013. During the meeting, representatives from the Calvert County Department of Community Planning and Building gave a presentation about the results of the charette and how they have been used in recent planning efforts. One of the recent areas of focus is the former middle school property and the armory building, which is projected to be a park and community area called Armory Square, according to Community Designer Will Selman. During the presentation, he said the armory building has a solid structure and could be rehabilitated, he said. Currently, the county is seeking a developer willing to take the charette vi-

sion and work with the community to make it a reality, Selman said. The most popular images during the charette were of mixed-use urban areas in Annapolis, Md., and Alexandria, Va., Selman said. In these areas, shopping centers are in pedestrian-friendly locations, with housing available above stores. There is a desire for mixed-use areas, he said, adding that “mixed-use” means having options for all ages, family situations and income levels. The charette process and most recent planning are leading up to an overhaul of the Comprehensive Plan and the Calvert County Zoning Ordinance, according to Community Planning and Building Director Tom Barnett. The process is scheduled to begin in January 2015, he said. As with the charette, the public will be invited to attend open meetings and weigh in on the future direction of both Prince Frederick and Calvert County as a whole.

Day of Caring Helps Man and His Best Friend

News By Lauren Procopio Staff Writer Day of Caring took place Sept. 10 and volunteers helped at various non-profits all over Calvert County. Two organizations included Chesapeake Cares Food Pantry and the Humane Society of Calvert County. Chesapeake Cares Food Pantry assistant manager Tonya Aguilar said their non-profit helped 65 families during Day of Caring and she said she saw an increase in the number of families they helped. “We try not to judge anybody because we don’t know what their circumstances are…we don’t know if there is somebody sick in their home, that they just lost their job this morning, we have no idea what their circumstances are,” she said. “Our goal for any of our clients is just to make them self-sufficient as possible and help them get back on their feet.” Day of Caring brings in new volunteers each year, including volunteer Dave Fegan; who said he only started volunteering last year. “Its been a good experience, we did something today… we did better the community today and I’m proud to see what

they’re doing here at the pantry…I mean thank god for this place.” Chesapeake Cares Food Pantry is located at 6045 Solomons Island Road in Huntingtown. Day of Caring also helps animals as well. Volunteers from Kaine Homes, Exelon Generation LLC and Cotton’s Septic helped out at the Humane Society of Calvert County. The animal shelter is run completely on donations; the non-profit receives no government funding or funding from any national organization. “Our place is almost entirely volunteers, so we need all the help we can get,” said Spokeswoman for the Humane Society Kirstyn Northrop-Cobb. “It’s a huge help to us. We get a lot accomplished this day.” President of the Humane Society Pat Beyer said Day of Caring is their most productive day and on a regular basis the shelter has about 100 volunteers. “It’s such a wonderful thing to see everybody come in and give their time because we help the animals so its nice to see everybody come together like this and help us with what needs to be done around the shelter,” she concluded. The shelter has a no-kill policy and they rescue dogs

The Maryland chapter of Heroes on the Water is preparing for the first ever event in Solomon’s Island on Sept. 20. Heroes on the Water is a non-profit organization that takes veterans out on the water for a day of fun, sun and some fishing. Local coordinator and retired Army Warrant Officer Jim Cooper said he recommended Solomons because he had been to the naval recreation center in the area and believed the Photo courtesy of Jim Cooper servicemen would enjoy the location. Veterans families are invited to join them on the outing, Cooper said. According to the Heroes on the Water website, “Heroes on the Water helps our Nation’s warriors and veterans from all branches of the United States military unwind using the therapeutic qualities of fishing from kayaks. What looks like a day trip of paddling and fishing is in fact something much deeper and long-lasting. Founded in 2007, our unique kayak fishing program allows the participants a chance to decompress from the stresses associated with combat and the physical rigors of rehabilitation.” Participants receive basic kayak fishing and paddling instruction, angling clinics and paddling classes according to their experience and skill range. The veterans relax when they’re out on the water, Cooper said. Each individual is paired with a buddy, but if they express a desire for space they get it. “Most of them don’t want any more help than they need,” Cooper said. Families tend to group together, Cooper said, and veterans who come alone often find themselves talking to another serviceman. “People tend to gravitate to somebody who completely understands their point of view,” Cooper said, adding that though he spent 21 years in the Army, he doesn’t believe he can completely relate to the experiences of more recent combat veterans. In addition to spending a day out on the water, Cooper recommended servicemen and their families spend the weekend in the area if they are able to.

Calvert County Names 2014 You Are Beautiful Award Winner

This year’s You Are Beautiful Award Winner was announced during a ceremony at the College of Southern Maryland Prince Frederick Campus. The winner is Betty Jane Reynolds. According to a nomination letter from Brenda Wallace, “Betty Jane Reynolds is a most generous and kind-hearted person. She has a quiet demeanor and unselfish heart, even as a teacher working with and teaching the handicapped and children with disabilities. She always has been patient, caring and understanding. Now retired, her volunteer service branches out to women’s shelters, the hospital gift shop and Calvert Pines, where she gives her time to the residents, helping with their exercise programs and playing bingo. She is a breast cancer survivor of 15 years or more and participates in the entire relay for life activities. Her church service includes being a lay speaker at her

church. She visits nursing homes and hospitals, caring and taking meals to the elderly. She volunteers housekeeping for seniors and visits shut-in seniors, taking groceries, playing games with them, reading and sometimes just being there as a companion. She enjoys making and helping seniors with arts and crafts. She volunteers on election committees, as well as the polls on election days. Not only does she do all these wonderful things in the community, she also helps me with our 92-year-old mother. She is humble, never complains and is always smiling.” Reynolds said she was surprised and honored by the recognition, saying there are people more worthy than her for the award. She doesn’t do anything for recognition. “I do what I do because God has truly blessed me,” she said.

By Lauren Procopio Staff Writer According to Maryland Public Defender Paul DeWolfe, Judge Robert Nalley was removed from the bench on Sept. 5. The Court of Appeals ordered Nalley to be removed after he ordered a court officer to electrically shock a defendant in a Charles County courtroom. The press release indicates the attack occurred on July 23 when defendant Delvon King was acting as his own attorney. The press release provided the transcript of the incident in which Nalley ordered the officer to shock King with a device that sent an electrical current to King’s leg causing him to scream and fall to the floor in pain. According to DeWolfe, the Charles County Sheriff’s Office conducted an investigation on Nalley and found no wrongdoing. He also said he is unaware of any other investigation against the former judge. “No one who treats people like this should be permitted to serve as a judge,” DeWolfe said. This was not the first time Nalley has faced issues. According to the press release, he was “sanctioned by Maryland’s highest court for deflating a tire of a car” of a nighttime custodial worker who parked in his parking space.

Huntingtown Man Charged with Attempted First-Degree Murder and Kidnapping

By Lauren Procopio Staff Writer Terrence Devaughn Oliver, of Huntingtown, was charged with attempted first-degree murder and kidnapping by Detective Michael Mudd on the evening of Sept. 5. According to court files, Oliver personally knew the victim and waited at her residence and attacked her as she exited her car. In the court files, the victim stated Oliver began to “beat her like a man” by punching her with closed fists in her face and body. As she called out for help, Oliver forced her to the ground and began choking her. The documents also stated the victim felt she was going to die and began to fight back until Oliver stopped choking her. He then forced her into the back seat of her vehicle and bound her hands. Oliver stopped at his house and said he was bringing

his gun, the victim saw him return with a tan blanket, which he said, held the weapon. Oliver planned to drive to Hagerstown, Maryland and told the victim he was going to take her life and then his own. During the kidnapping, Oliver spoke on the phone to Mr. Vaughn Thomas, who convinced him not to commit suicide and to let the victim go. Oliver took the victim to the Anne Arundel County Medical Center and released her after abducting her eight hours prior. Court files indicate she suffered a broken nose and lacerations to her eye sockets, face, head, back and fingers. Court files state Detective Mudd contacted Oliver and he agreed to come to the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office, where he admitted to a portion of the events. Mudd stated Oliver denied having a firearm and choking and binding the victim’s wrists. The trial is set for Oct. 3. Oliver could face life in prison if found guilty. lauren@somdpublishing.net

Sex Offender Sentenced to 20 Years Leonard Warren Kraisel, of Chevy Chase, is facing 20 years in prison for sexually abusing two 10-year-old brothers. The 74 year old had his trial Wednesday, Sept. 3 in Calvert County’s Circuit Court in front of Judge E. Gregory Wells, who sentenced Kraisel. Court records indicate the defendant was facing 10 different charges dating back to March 1, 2012. Court records indicate the abuse took place from March 1, 2012 to Oct. 9, 2012. According to court files, the defendant was convicted of two counts of sexual abuse of a minor and a third degree sexual offense. The judge ordered the defendant to serve his time consecutively. Court documents state the court agreed to make a recommendation to have Kraisel serve his time at the Patuxent Institution. Court files state Kraisel must register as a sex offender, undergo a psychological examination and pay supervision fees.

Respect matters and that is why I urge you to vote for Sue Kullen for Delegate. When Sue first took office, I requested to meet with her and the members of the Humane Society Club of Huntingtown High School. Sue met with us at a local coffee shop to learn about the horrors of chained dogs in our community. I, several parents and about 10 high school students ex-

about what all of us think. She is a genuine person with an open mind. She is reasonable and kind. She is a person of good character who has no agenda other than to serve the citizens of Calvert County. She will listen to you no matter what your concern. Mr. Fisher has not impressed me as much. When my high school club went to Annapolis for Humane Lobby Day in 2013, Mr. Fisher was over 25 minutes late for our appointment, which had been set weeks prior. He claimed to not even know we were on the calendar. My club had to raise over $400 to take this trip, and my students were very excited to meet with him. When we tried to tell him our concerns, he stopped us, and made sure we understood his position. When he did not vote in the affirmative for the Spay and Neuter bill, we sent him a letter expressing our dissatisfaction. What did he do, he called the former su-

perintendent of the school system to complain. Our letter did thank him for his time, but we had every right to express to him that we were disappointed that he did not vote for such an important bill. Mr. Fisher had his aide call me a few days later to ask if I’d meet for coffee. I politely declined. The Spay and Neuter bill did pass overwhelmingly in Annapolis, by the way, in spite of very few who opposed it. The following year Mr. Fisher treated us with much more respect. But then again, it is an election year and he could have possibly felt bad about the prior year. The way you make people feel is critical when you serve as a leader. You can still vote with your beliefs and your party behind you, but you can do it in a way that leaves a trail of respect behind. That’s what I want in Annapolis. Lynne A. Gillis Huntingtown, Md.

Teachers Not Attending Open Houses in Effort to Bring Awareness to Pay By Sarah Miller Staff Writer Every school in the county has an open house during the first month that school is open. During the first few open houses, some parents came out to find that there were no teachers in attendance. This has not been the case at every school, said Superintendent Daniel Curry. Some teachers were boycotting the school open houses, which they are not required to attend according to their contracts, to raise awareness of their efforts to get reasonable pay increases. The number of teachers present at open houses has not been consistent, Curry said. At some schools there has been full teacher participation while at others no teachers were present. Curry said school administrative staff asked teachers to have information available to give to parents if they choose not to attend. Calvert Education Association (CEA) President Debbie Russ said the CEA said they have not encour-

aged teachers to abstain from the open houses, but they support the cause teachers are fighting for. In the past six years, teachers have only been given two of their earned steps, she said. This affects their pension plans, which means teachers are not able to retire when they planned, or retire making a rate lower than they anticipated. Teachers are being given an ever-increasing amount of work, Russ said, and they deserve to be recognized and compensated accordingly. Board of Education President Eugene Karol commented on the matter during the Board of Education Meeting on Sept. 11. “Board members as a rule do not comment openly on matters related to collective bargaining with our employee groups. However, the recent paid advertisements in our local newspaper have been very critical of our school board and some of our financial decisions. The current ads in the newspaper have items that are not accurate as presented. First, let me make it very clear that by state law we legally must adopt a balanced

budget. And in order to do so it was necessary to take $2.6 million dollars of unassigned fund balance money to balance our FY 2015 budget. This did not even include the new funds that were provided by the commissioners,” Karol said. “It is important to note that our teachers, and in fact all of our employees, are very much appreciated and valued. We have a very highly qualified and dedicated staff in our school system, and we have done very well by them over the years. Over the past three decades, you will see that our boards have done much better than most systems in Maryland in compensating their staff. Over the years we have worked extremely hard to compensate our staff at high levels, but unfortunately we could not control what has happened to the national economy over the last few years…” For more information, visit www.calvertnet.k12. md.us. sarahmiller@countytimes.net

Replace Your Old Boiler with a new Quietside Dual Purpose water Heater Innovative Design

S Line Heat exchangers The S Line heat exchangers have our innovative design. Placing the latent heat exchanger at an angle above the sensible heat exchanger ensures complete separation from condensate, increasing unit longevity. Flue glass glows upward providing stable & quiet operation even with up to 45 ft equivalent flue lengths. The design of the latent heat exchanger reduces flue gas temperature to below 140 DegF at all times, allowing the use of Schedule 40 PVC as the vent material.

Modulating Gas Valve

The modulating gas valve allows complete control of the gas flow to the burner assembly. This unit has a turn down ratio of 2:1 to provide performance across a wide range of heat loads. Our innovative Heat Exchanger design flows the flue gas in "S" line configuration to improve heat transfer & unit efficiency.

Durable Hydroblock To increase efficiency, reliability and service a modular concept is used to mount all of the components controlling heating and DHW flow directly to the DHW heat exchanger.

Reasons for Switching 1. Propane is a domestic fuel. 90% of what is used in the United States is produced in the United States. The remaining 10% is imported from Canada. Over 50% of oil consumed in the U.S. is imported, largely from the Middle East and South American countries. 2. Many propane appliances are rated at over 90% efficient and produce very low flue gases, allowing the installation of inexpensive and easy to use PVC venting materials. Oil has a much lower efficiency rating and produces a lot of particulate and toxins that are corrosive and harmful to our environment. 3. Propane appliances do not require regular costly maintenance to keep up efficiency levels. Some systems have self cleaning features built into an appliances daily operation. Oil needs continuous care and maintenance to maintain its efficiency level. This can become very costly on top of the already high cost for the fuel. 4. Cost for a gallon of propane can be as much as $1.25 less expensive than oil. Even with oils slightly higher btu rating per gallon, propane is much less expensive to operate as well as cleaner and more efficient.

Feature Story By Guy Leonard Staff Writer With a little less than two months left in the campaign to decide who will be Maryland’s next governor, GOP candidate Larry Hogan says he is confident that he is closing in on Democrat Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown. Recent efforts on behalf of national Democratic organizations may show that Hogan has Brown’s campaign worried, but a new poll sponsored by the New York Times shows Brown holding a comfortable double-digit lead. Hogan said his strategy now depends on getting strong voting numbers and reaching out to Democrats who may be dissatisfied with Gov. Martin O’Malley’s two terms in office, of which Brown was an integral part. “I believe the majority of Marylanders want to go in a different direction,” Hogan said while at a campaign stop at the University of Maryland in College Park Sept. 13. “We have to appeal to enough Democrats and independents to win.” Hogan has eschewed talking about socially conservative issues like same sex marriage, which passed the legislature last year, and focused on economic issues such as Maryland’s anemic jobs record and continually burgeoning budgets. “Obviously we’re focused on taxes,” Hogan said. “Social issues aren’t the focus of this campaign. The fact is that not many of these things are going to change.” Political observers say this was the only kind of campaign a GOP candidate could wage in Maryland and still hold out hope for success. “It’s the only message he can use,” said Todd Eberly, professor of political science at St. Mary’s College of Maryland. “It’s a far more pragmatic approach, there’s a sense of

reality to what he is saying.” Hogan’s campaign was bolstered recently by a Republican commissioned poll showing that he had moved to within three points of Brown; the fact that the national Democratic Governor’s Association just pumped $750,000 into Brown’s campaign also gave them reason to believe Democrats were worried. Eberley said the recent actions by Democrats seemed to show that as well. “In the absence of independent polling,

we don’t know, but they do seem to be worried,” Eberly said. The biggest flap lately has been Hogan’s complaint filed with the Maryland Board of Elections over the Brown campaign’s partnering with a political consultant who also works for a super-PAC, something the Hogan campaign alleges is a clear violation of election law. Brown’s campaign has fired back by saying that Hogan leases the campaign bus he bought with private funds back to the campaign for less than $700. Democrats filed a complaint about the bus last week. “The state board of elections said we’re doing it exactly like we’re supposed to,” Hogan said of the complaint, hitting Brown for his alleged violation at the same time. “It’s a blatant violation of state and federal law. “We’re talking about tainted money.” A poll conducted by The New York Times, CBS News and YouGov Battleground Tracker shows that Brown may, in fact, still have a large margin over his GOP challenger, which is not unexpected in a state where Democrats outnumber Republicans two-to-one. The poll shows that Brown has 46 percent of the vote while Hogan has 34 percent.

Eberly said that this poll, though it has believable numbers, may not be entirely reliable due to its methodology of surveying voters on-line who opt into the poll. “We know that roughly 20 percent of the electorate is not on-line,” Eberly said. “And polling only works if it’s random and the randomness is lost in this.” Hogan, of Edgewater, says they have made strides in most of the jurisdictions in Maryland, but they know that in the final he still has a lot of work to do in three of them: Prince George’s and Montgomery counties and Baltimore City, the heart of the Democratic establishment. He said he was trying to make a stop in every jurisdiction at least once before Election Day but was paying particular attention to places like Prince George’s, where he planned to walk around a campus buzzing with activity for a Terrapins and West Virginia University Mountaineers football game to stump for votes. “Our polls show us winning in 19 of 24 jurisdictions,” Hogan said. “We’re doing better than any Republican candidate in a long time.” guyleonard@countytimes.net

Chesapeake Beach Home to Greenspring Brewery With Calvert County becoming a hotbed for craft beers and local breweries, more and more micro breweries are popping up. One of the newest is Greenspring Brewery, a micro, homebased brewery in Chesapeake Beach. For Joe Puttlitz, the road to starting this basement brewery started when he received a brewery starter kit as a Christmas gift. Puttlitz has a background in organic chemistry, which is useful because there is lot of chemistry involved in brewing beer. “Your inner geek takes over,” he said. Puttlitz enjoys experimenting with different types of beers, such as ales and lagers. Recently, he received permission from the county to run a home-based brewing business, though the amount he can produce is limited. Puttlitz’s day job is working as a patent examiner. Working in the brewery is a nocturnal occupation for him. “I don’t want to make my basement into Anheuser-Busch,” Puttlitz said. He might consider expanding to a larger location in the future, but for right now, Puttlitz is perfectly happy keeping his operation small. Puttlitz is in discussions with local beer distributors, including Nick’s of Calvert and Dunkirk Wine and Spirits, to start selling his brews at a commercial level in late 2014 or early 2015.

The Race-2-Give Means Helping Those Less Fortunate

This Year’s Solomons Offshore Grand Prix Will Focus on Feeding the Hungry in Southern Maryland

High-powered, super-fast race boats and local food banks may not seem like a natural combination, but during the first weekend in October, they are a perfect match! That’s when the world of Offshore Racing shifts its focus to Southern Maryland for the Solomons Offshore Grand Prix. Not only will the racers be thrilling the crowds with their racing prowess that weekend, they will also help restock local food banks with much needed food supplies as part of the “Race-2-Give” Food Drive. Jamie McCarthy has a natural spunky enthusiasm that serves her well as head cheerleader for her husband’s race team. The mother of four active children, Jamie relies on her Christian faith to help her balance the demands of her family and career with her devotion to her husband Charlie’s passion – Offshore Powerboat Racing. The combination of these things sparked an idea one day. When thinking about the food bank sponsored by her church, McCarthy realized the awesome opportunity that existed to incorporate a food drive into the Solomons Offshore Grand Prix and tap into the goodwill gen-

erated by the race. She approached SOGP race director, Mike Yowaiski, with her idea. Yowaiski, who grew up in Southern Maryland and still has close ties to the community, thought the idea of an SOGP sponsored food drive was great and immediately set about making it an integral part of the race event. With the race committee’s blessing, and financial support from her husband’s company, Maryland Marine & Cycle – McCarthy was literally off to the races! She coordinated the receipt and distribution of donations through her church, Church by the Chesapeake. She also came up with the name and commissioned the design of the logo, as well as securing permission from the Calvert County School Board for flyers about the food drive to be sent home with all schoolchildren the week before the race. As McCarthy explained, “We are just so blessed, and this seemed like such a great way to give back by helping those in our community with the most basic need, the need for food.” Race director Mike Yowaiski concurred, “We have wanted to use the exposure of the race to support a charity, and when Jamie came to us with

the idea of a food drive, it just clicked.

also be accepted and will be used to purchase grocery store gift cards for perishable food items. All food and gift cards will be distributed through the Church by the Chesapeake food bank.

Bringing Musical Success Across State Lines

By Emily Charles Contributing Writer Some people are born with music in their bones. Tracy Allen and Michael Burrell of Social Hangover are no exceptions! Allen and Burrell founded Social Hangover about two years ago, said Allen, and their popularity has been blooming ever since. Natives of West Virginia, Allen and Burrell agree that Social Hangover has certainly expanded their musical careers. “It certainly has exploded with travel and such. We travel a lot! [We’ve been to] Nashville, Tenn., Fort Lauderdale, Fla. New York, Virginia, all over West Virginia— of course West Virginia, it’s where I’m from,” Allen said. The duo plays anything the crowd wants to hear, said Allen, though both band members particularly enjoy playing country and rock music. “You name it, we will do our best to play it. And if we don’t know it, we will try our best to learn it,” states the band’s Facebook page. While both musicians are enjoying their thriving career, they have vastly different musical backgrounds. Allen wanted to be a musician much sooner than Burrell. “I did [want to be a musician] when I was about seven. I started singing and playing and I pretty much knew,” he said. Burrell, on the other hand, didn’t begin a career in music until “about two years ago,” he said.

The two-man-band has an obvious love for sound, but the tunes of a few individual artists serve as their greatest influences. “Bon Jovi would be one of my biggest. I started out listening to Kenny Rogers. He was my idol when I was young,” said Allen. “I would say Kenny Rogers, Ronnie Milsap,” Burrell added. These performers love music, and they love their fans. “Meeting new people and seeing new places” is the best part of the business, according to Allen, and fans are sure to enjoy the show as the pair cover personal favorites by Journey and Matchbox Twenty. “I’d say Faithfully by Journey [is my favorite to play]. It’s a crowd mover,” Allen said. “[I like to play] 3 a.m. by Matchbox Twenty. I love that song,” Burrell said. Allen, who has played in multiple bands, says Social Hangover is very unique. “It’s just a two-man acoustic band, it’s not like a full band. It’s a lot more laid back and a little more personal,” he said. If you haven’t had the chance to see this growing band perform yet, it isn’t too late! “We’re playing Thursday [Sept. 18] at the Ruddy Duck in Solomons and on St. George’s Island Friday [Sept. 19],” Allen said, “Come to a show! Check us out!” To learn more about Social Hangover, visit www.reverbnation.com/tracyallen or visit their Facebook page! news@countytimes.net

Out&About September Month Long Donations for Kimberly Ruest Kimberly Ruest is the 23 year old daughter of Dick and Bonnie Ruest of North Beach in Calvert County. She is a graduate of Northern High School. Several years ago, Kimberly was diagnosed with Cardiomyopathy and began a protocol of testing, monitoring and prescription medications. Despite the best care by her doctors at Johns Hopkins University Hospital in Baltimore, her health continued to deteriorate. In 2011, her doctors put a pacemaker in to help her heart work more efficiently. The monitoring and drug protocol continued and Kimberly has been hospitalized several times in the last 3 years due to poor heart function. Just recently, her condition has taken a very serious turn. She reported to her parents that she was not feeling well. They immediately took her to Johns Hopkins where she was evaluated by her doctors. The news was bad. Her heart has weakened to the point where the only option to save Kim’s life is a heart transplant. She was admitted to the cardiac unit at Hopkins for continued testing and medical treatments. Kim and her parents have been advised that Kim cannot leave the hospital to go home. She must stay there until a donor heart is found and the transplant can be done. Kim is continuing to receive treatments that are preparing her for the transplant. The road ahead for Kimberly and her family is extensive and expensive. We are appealing for donations from the Southern Maryland community to help with the many expenses not covered by insurance. Anyone who would like to make a donation may go to www. gofundme.com/cse8go. Any amount you can give will be greatly appreciated and will be used solely to cover these expenses. You may also follow Kimberly’s progress on www.caringbridge.org/visit/kimruest. Art Show CalvART Gallery, 10 Solomons Island Road S, Prince Frederick — 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Come view “Colorscapes” by Abby Griffin and Mary Blumberg. The show runs until Oct. 5.

Community Events

event is free. Since over half of the participants of Adult Day Care of Calvert County have some level of dementia, we will be introducing the project this week. We will begin collecting memories from, for, or about anyone with a memory impairment. The memory does not have to be about someone from Adult Day Care of Calvert County’s program. Memories can be from someone with a memory impairment. Memories can be in honor of someone with a memory impairment. Memories can be about someone with a memory impairment. The memory does not have to be about the impairment. It can highlight some part of their life; it can describe a simple occurrence; it can be a story, picture, or just a name; it can be something they remembered; it can be something that makes them smile; it can be something that made you smile… Memories will be posted here in our center, located on the lower level of the health department building. The memories may also be shared on our website. For more information, call 410-535-0133 or visit www. adcofcalvertcounty.org.
