Local LNG Export Facility Approved By Sarah Miller Staff Writer Dominion Cove Point received notification of approval from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) for the liquefied natural gas (LNG) export project. “We are pleased to receive this final approval that allows us to start constructing this important project that offers significant economic, environmental and geopolitical benefits,” Dominion Energy President Diane Leopold said in a press release. “This order is based on more than two years of thorough, exhaustive analysis by FERC along with numerous other federal and state agencies. It also reflects a robust public input process. Dominion is dedicated to constructing a safe, secure, environmentally compatible and reliable export facility.” Dominion must review and accept the order. According to Dominion Cove Point Media Relations and Community Relations Manager Karl R. Neddenien, FERC’s approval came with 79 conditions that Dominion must meet before and during construction. How they will be addressing the concerns will be covered in an implimentation plan to be submitted to FERC, Neddenien said. Dominion expects to ask the FERC for a “Notice to Proceed” at that time and plans to begin construction when the notice is received. This process – from Dominion review through FERC’s notice – is expected to take several weeks, according to a press release. “It’s been a long time coming,” Neddenin said. The construction of the export project, which is estimated to cost between $3.4 billion and $3.8 billion, will create thousands of skilled construction jobs, 75 permanent jobs and an additional $40 million in annual tax revenue to Calvert County. Other economic benefits included millions of dollars of new revenues for Maryland and the federal gov-
ernment as well as a reduction in the nation’s trade deficit by billions of dollars annually, according to a press release. Community response to the approval is mixed. “FERC’s failure to demonstrate compliance with the most current safety standards in the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 59A 2013 is a fatal flaw in the Environmental Assessment that could cost residents and first responders their lives,” said Calvert Citizens for a Healthy Community member Tracey Eno in a press release from the Chesapeake Climate Action Network. “Members of Calvert Citizens for a Healthy Community (CCHC) believe that these new standards were a direct response to the horrific explosions that occurred at a Skikda, Algeria LNG export facility in 2004, resulting in serious casualties and extensive property damage. We have endured the betrayal of our own elected officials— most notably, our five Calvert County Commissioners, our federal representatives and Governor Martin O’Malley—who have all inexplicably refused to insist on the latest fire safety standards for the Dominion Cove Point LNG export expansion. We now call on the Secretaries of Homeland Security and Transportation to step in and insist on full compliance with NFPA 59A 2013 before Lusby becomes home to the first large-scale liquefaction train ever to be installed in a such a densely populated residential neighborhood in the history of the industry.” During the Sept. 30 Board of County Commissioners meeting, two additional community members spoke out against the project, expressing worries that the county will become a “guinea pig” when it comes to LNG facilities near population centers.

Two Joggers Hit By Vehicle
By Lauren Procopio Staff Writer
Food & Refreshments On-Site Large Covered Picnic Area Air-Conditioned/Heated Restrooms
On Sunday, Sept. 27, two joggers were struck by a 2013 Hyundai Passenger while running alongside Route 260 and Saint Andrews Drive in Chesapeake Beach. According to police, the driver was identified as 29 year old, Megan Sullivan of Chesapeake Beach. A police press release states Sullivan “had entered the roadway from Saint Andrews Drive and for unknown reasons left the travel portion of the roadway and struck two pedestrians who were jogging on the shoulder.” The victims were initially treated on scene by members of the Dunkirk and North Beach Volunteer Fire Department, but were then flown to Prince George’s Hospital Center. The press release also states the driver was the first to call 911 and remained on the scene. Sheriff Mike Evans said the victims have been released from the hospital. No charges have been made at this time and Sgt. R. Selkirk of the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the collision. lauren@somdpublishing.net

Commissioners Consider Improvements to Route 2/4 in Prince Frederick
By Sarah Miller Staff Writer Representatives from the State Highway Administration came to discuss Phase II of the Maryland Route 2/4 corridor improvements with the Calvert County Board of County Commissioners during their Sept. 30 meeting. The project is to be completed in three phases and includes three miles of route 2/4 through the center of Prince Frederick. The study was done in 1997 and phase one was completed in 2010, according to information handed out during the meeting. Project goals include widening route 2/4 to make it more friendly for bikers and pedestrians, enhancement of drainage designs, removing the U-Turn at Steeple Chase Drive, reconfiguring Commerce Lane to a “full movement four way intersection”, and aesthetic improvements. Also during the meeting, commissioners discussed a new water storage tank to meet demands in Prince Frederick, which is part of a larger East Prince Frederick Well and Tower project. According to documents on the Calvert County website, the “total estimated project cost is $3,822,106. The project received two Water Supply grants from Maryland Department of Environment (MDE) totaling $750,000. The County, through the State, plans to issue Maryland Water Quality bonds in the amount up to $2,568,000, which are administered by MDE. The remaining $504,106 of remaining project costs will be funded with general obligation bonds. The principal and interest payments on the bonds will be paid from usage revenues collected from the water customers on the County's systems. The MDE bonds are general obligation bonds and backed by the full faith and credit of the County.” Commissioner Jerry Clark expressed concerns about how the debt will be paid back, and encouraged use of fees collected for public water and sewer be used. sarahmiller@countytimes.net

Lusby Man Could Face Life in Prison
By Lauren Procopio Staff Writer Russell Edward Johnson, of Lusby, could face life in prison after allegedly selling heroin, resulting in the user’s death. The press release from the Drug Enforcement Agency stated a federal grand jury indicted Johnson on Sept. 29 on “charges of drug distribution including one count of distribution of heroin resulting in death.” “Mr. Johnson is charged with supplying heroin, causing the ultimate, tragic death of an innocent person. Heroin has claimed another casualty: a victim that could have been your brother, your father, or a friend,” said Special Agent in Charge Karl C. Colder of the Drug Enforcement Administration. “This investigation was a collaborative effort of DEA and the United States Attorney’s Office, Calvert County Sheriff’s Department and the Calvert County State’s Attorney’s Office. Together we send a message that drug dealers will pay the price for their acts. DEA will use all resources at its disposal to investigate and arrest those individuals whose only motivation is greed and who carry with them a complete disregard for human life,” he continued. Court files indicate in April 2013, Johnson was charged with possession of Oxycodone, three counts of possession of Oxycodone with the intention to distribute, possession with intent to distribute within 1,000 feet of school property identified in the files as Sunderland Elementary, possession of marijuana with the intention to distribute and two traffic charges. In July 2013, Johnson was charged with possessing heroin with the intention to distribute and was also charged with distributing heroin. In August 2013, Johnson was charged possessing and distributing drug paraphernalia. The press release stated Johnson has not had his initial appearance and is currently in custody on related state charges. If Johnson is found guilty on the charges he faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 20 years. lauren@somdpublishing.net
Maryland State Police Blotter The following information is compiled directly from publicly released police reports. Possession of Marijuana & Ammunition: On Sept. 22 at 12:29 p.m., Trooper First Class Casarella stopped a vehicle on Rt. 4 near Cove Point Rd. for traffic violations. A strong odor of raw marijuana was emitting from inside the vehicle. A probable cause search revealed marijuana, drug paraphernalia and ammunition. John C. Fowler Jr., 32 of St. Inigoes, was arrested. A check with the Maryland Gun Center revealed Fowler was prohibited from possessing ammunition due to a prior criminal conviction. He was incarcerated at the Calvert County Detention Center. Theft of Copper: On Sept. 23 at 6:40 p.m., Trooper First Class Saucerman responded to the 1700 block of Emmanuel Church Rd. in Huntingtown for a theft of copper complaint. The caretaker for the property reported that copper downspouts and gutter pieces were missing from inside a barn at the residence. Investigation remains open pending contact with metal salvage yards in the Southern Maryland area. Warrant Arrest / Violation of Protective Order: On Sept. 24 at 10:05 p.m., Trooper First Class Matthews along with another trooper responded to the 12500 block of Tahoda Ct. in Lusby to serve two bench warrants through St. Mary’s County Sheriffs Office on Kelly Joe Fordham, 23 of Lusby. Fordham was located inside the residence. During the arrest, TFC Matthews was advised that Fordham was also in violation of a protective order. He was arrested and incarcerated at the Calvert County Detention Center.

Two Arrests Made in Good Day Market Robbery
By Lauren Procopio Staff Writer Thomas Brian Smith, Jr., of Prince Frederick and Ronald Franklin Brown, Jr., of Leonardtown, were arrested Sept. 21 for charges related to the Good Day Market robbery on Aug. 3. According to court documents, the cashier and sole witness to the crime identified Ronald F. Brown, Jr. as the suspect who robbed the Good Day Market convenience store. According to police files, the cashier stated the suspect entered the store and walked toward the back and obtained a soda, then he walked to the counter and asked for two packs of Maverick Menthol cigarettes and two packs of Marlboro Smooth cigarettes. The suspect then handed the cashier a note reading, “give me all the money in the register or I will kill you.” The defendant then lifted up his shirt to imply he had a weapon, the cashier placed the money in a paper bag, and the suspect fled the scene with the money, the note, the Dr. Pepper soda and the four packs of cigarettes. While leaving, he told the cashier to “get down and don’t get up.” Police files indicate the video surveillance confirms the suspect to be a large white male weighing an estimated 210 to 250 pounds, who police believe to be Brown. According to police files, the theft loss was nearly $1,404 and the witness believed the gun was a 9mm pistol based on the handle she saw
when the suspect lifted his shirt. Police files also indicate the vehicle used to flee the scene was a 2013 Hyundai Elantra and the owner of the car is Smith’s wife, Danielle Hayes. Brown was arrested on Sept. 4 and brought to the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office, where he waived his Miranda Rights. Detective H.R Rich interviewed Brown and he confessed to robbing the convenience store and identified Thomas Brian Smith, Jr. as the driver of the vehicle used to flee the scene. However, according to court files, Brown said Smith had no involvement in the robbery. On Tuesday Sept. 9, Smith reported to the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office and told Detective Rich he had no idea why he wanted to speak with him and denied speaking to him without a lawyer present. Both defendants are being charged with armed robbery, conspired armed robbery, seconddegree assault, conspired second-degree assault, use of a firearm and conspiracy of intent to use a fireman. Smith was also charged with having a handgun in the vehicle. Brown had additional charges of conspired theft of $1,000 to under $10,000 and possessing a handgun. Both defendants have their preliminary hearings Oct. 20 at 1 p.m. at the Calvert County District Court. Smith and Brown are currently being held at the Calvert County Detention Center. lauren@somdpublishing.net
Motorcycle Pursuit on Route Four By Lauren Procopio Staff Writer On Sunday Sept. 28 Deputy First Class (Dfc.) Velasquez and Deputy Sheriff (D/S) Buck initiated a pursuit of six sport-bike style motorcycles on Route Four in St. Leonard. Police state the motorcycles were traveling in excess of 100 mph. D/S Ward pulled in front of the motorcycles as they traveled toward the south entrance of Main Street in Prince Frederick. According to the Press Release from police, “the motorcycles then split up, with two turning down Main St., two making a U-turn and going back south on Rt. 4, and one continuing north on Rt. 4. D/S Ward along with other units continued
to pursue the motorcycle that continued north on Rt. 4. Units lost sight of that motorcycle and the pursuit was terminated.” However, a witness called the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office to report one of the drivers in the pursuit pulled into a trailer park at the end of German Chapel Road. Police pursued the driver down German Chapel Road and identified him as David Anthony Madison II, of Westminster, Md. Deputy Sheriff Ward was able to identify Madison as the driver who made the U-turn and drove south on Route Four. Madison was arrested for multiple charges, including driving under the influence of alcohol, after he failed the field sobriety tests. lauren@somdpublishing.net
Early Release Denied to Convicted Murderer By Lauren Procopio Staff Writer Court files indicate on Sept. 24 Judge Warren J. Krug, of the Calvert County District Court, denied the motion for reconsideration of an early release for 56-year-old Ricky Joseph Salvatore. Salvatore is currently serving 18 years at the Patuxent Institute for the June 2008 murder of his brother, Robert Chris Salvatore. Police records indicate on June 1, 2008 the victim was found dead after several gun shot wounds to the chest and head. Elizabeth Salvatore,
wife of Ricky Salvatore, told police she heard gunshots and said her husband was the shooter. According to police files, Salvatore said he did not remember shooting his brother and said they were drinking beer and smoking “marijuana cigarettes laced with PCP.” Robert Harvey requested his defendant be considered for release in 2016, which was ultimately denied. Court files state Fran Longwell was the representation for the state. lauren@somdpublishing.net

The Calverton School is bringing the world to Southern Maryland – literally. The school celebrated the grand opening of four family style dormitories at 2:30 p.m. on Friday, September 26, 2014. Dr. Taintor, Head of School, was quoted, “a lot of thought was put into making these residence halls not just dormitories, but homes – front porch and all. The design, layout, and placement on campus were all carefully planned so that students can have their academic, home, and recreational lives woven together for the full college preparatory boarding experience. The addition of these residences on campus further propels our mission to prepare students for
higher education and responsible citizenship in a democratic and global community.” This school year, the One World Residential Village will serve as home to four house parents, two residential assistants, and forty-one students from China, Hong Kong, Canada, and domestic students from Pennsylvania and Utah. Five day and seven day boarding options are available. The project, nearly two years in the making, was made possible through collaboration with Old Line Bank and Quality Built Homes.

Three-Year Art Carving Finally Unveiled By Lauren Procopio Staff Writer Bob Arscott, of Dunkirk, spent three years carving a life-size eagle, which is now on display at the American Legion Post 206 in Chesapeake Beach. “I’ve done other eagles, but this is the first time I tried a life-size one. I almost gave up on it a couple times because it took me three years to do it,” he said. Arscott entered his life-size creation in the World Carving Show in Ocean City, where he competed with people from all over the world. “It didn’t win, but everybody took pictures of it; there must be 10,000 pictures of it. I’m competing against the world, it’s not like it’s the United States or a state…these people come in from Japan, Germany, China, everywhere and that’s their profession. This is not my profession; this is a hobby for me,” he said. Arscott researches every animal he carves, which he says is the longest part of the process. “There’s a lot of reference work you have to do. I went to the zoo and different places eagles were and I must have taken a gazillion pictures,” he said. “Most of the luck I had was when I went to these gun shows and sometimes they had real eagles that were wounded and they were holding them so I could get close and see.” Arscott said he spent roughly 3,000 hours carving the life-size eagle and only works on the carvings during the winter. He has even taught classes on carving and has his own shop at his house. “I’ve probably taught a couple-hundred people over the last 20 years…it’s called the ‘quack shack’ because mostly ducks is what I do,” he said. “I’ll give them a block of wood and say ‘inside that wood is a bird and all you have to do is remove the wood that’s not bird.’ And when they get done they’re really surprised they can do it.” The dedication of the life-size eagle will be held at the American Legion Post 206 in Chesapeake Beach on Oct. 17 at 7 p.m. Arscott holds the positions of Vice President of the D.C. Association of Retired Police Officers, Vice Chairman of the Calvert County Republican Central Committee, Vice President of the D.C. Police Memorial Board, President of the Ferry Landing Woods Civic Association and is a board member of the Dunkirk Area Concerned Citizens Association. Arscott is currently working on a carving of a leopard, which he says will be finished within six months.

Leadership, Teamwork, Community NAS Patuxent River Welcomes New Commanding Officer
Photo by Sarah Miller
By Sarah Miller Staff Writer Naval Air Station (NAS) Patuxent River welcomed a new commanding officer on Sept. 18 - Commanding Officer Heidi Fleming (Captain, United States Navy), the first female commanding officer in the 71-year history of the base. Fleming served as the executive officer for 18 months in the Navy’s FleetUp program. It’s an honor and a privilege to have the distinction of being the first female commanding officer before stepping into the commanding officer position. “When you work hard and concentrate, that’s what happens,” she said, adding that there are a lot of talented men and women in the Navy and at NAS Patuxent River. This is not Fleming’s first time stationed at NAS Patuxent River. She served as executive officer and commanding officer of the Scientific Development Squadron (VXS) from 2006 to 2008, according to her official biography on www.cnic.navy.mil. Fleming has spent more than 25 years in the Navy. During that time, she said she has seen several avenues open up for women. Until 2013, women were banned from combat roles. There were aircrafts that women weren’t allowed to pilot at the beginning of Fleming’s career. Now women and men have the same opportunities to fly the same crafts. In July 2014, Marine Captain Katie Higgins was the first woman assigned to the U.S. Navy Flight Demonstration Squadron, also known as the Blue Angels. When giving advice to young
women hoping to follow in her footsteps, she said to follow a few basic principles – “know your job, be competent, be professional. Know and take care of your people. If you do these things, good things will generally happen.” Fleming makes sure to remember her roots, even in light of all of her achievements. She grew up in a military family. Her father, Bill Fleming, was a two star Major General in the United States Marine Corps. “He’s been my hero,” Fleming said, “[He] still is. I learned a lot from him.” At first, Fleming was not interested in joining the military. But her father saw something in her that she didn’t, Fleming said, and he encouraged her to reconsider. She thought about following her father into the USMC, but aviation would not have been an option if she followed that route. So she turned to the Navy and the United States Air Force, eventually choosing to go to the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md. Her father would have been very impressed by the advances in naval aviation in recent years, she said, and the base is at the forefront of those advances. “We are the future of naval aviation,” Fleming said. As the new commanding officer at NAS Patuxent River, Fleming’s goals include a review of the base’s funding. She plans to coordinate with public works to prioritize where funding goes. The base exists for research and development, she said, and the biggest priority should be promoting that mission. One project she has on her radar is the repaving and replacing parts of the runway. There are also plans to renovate and replace doors
on the hangers. The goal is to identify and address issues before they become dangerous, she said. The movement toward inclusion also helps with this goal. Having different perspectives and ideas is the best way to prevent problems before they happen, Fleming said. For this reason, test teams are deliberately chosen to include diverse groups of people. Communication is key, and Fleming intends to make sure everyone working on base, from the daycare providers to security and air traffic control, is involved. “Everybody’s got an enabling function for the Naval staff,” she said. She plans to keep lines of communication open between herself and the 52 tenants on base to take care of their needs and concerns. The partnership between the base and the community is phenomenal, Fleming said. She makes it a point to be involved in the local community in all aspects. She prefers living in town rather than on the base, saying that if gives her a better perspective on the local community. This was a lesson she learned while living in Spain, she said. Living in the community gives individuals a better understanding of the local culture and find out what an area has to offer. She maintained this habit when she moved to Southern Maryland, getting a house outside the gate in St. Mary’s County and spending her time off exploring the area.

Holy Cross Evangelical Lutheran School and then Roosevelt High School in 1944, Ren became one of only 2,100 Aviation Midshipmen, a US Navy program that combined college with flight instruction. He earned the Naval Aviator’s wings of gold and embarked on a 20-year career with the US Navy. His decorations include the Distinguished Flying Cross, earned for heroism during the Korean War. As a private contract pilot after retiring from the Navy, Ren flew an additional million-plus miles in Grumman Gulfstream II, III and IV aircraft. Ultimately, he flew in over 50 different type/model/series of fixed-wing aircraft. Along the way, he also earned an undergraduate degree from the University of California at Berkeley. The epitome of a renaissance man, Ren was the constant tinkerer, and his interests ranged from repairing car engines to hand-crafting musical instruments, including hammered dulcimers, a clavichord, and a rackett. An avid fan of “Faded Cactus Blossoms” and the music of station WTNT (Tromp and Truck) whilst growing up in St. Louis, Ren’s love of music later turned toward the glorious music of Johann Sebastian Bach. He and his wife, Bee, traveled extensively throughout the United States and around the world to hear Bach’s compositions dedicated to the glory of God. Ren’s childhood sweetheart and wife of 63 years, Bernice Louise Brunkhorst Stelloh, died in 2012.

Letters to the Editor
2009 Law Leads to 2014 Decision In 2009, the Maryland Legislature passed the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Act requiring the state of Maryland to reduce greenhouse gasses by 25%, on or before 2020. The O’Malley-Brown administration intends to return emissions to their 2006 levels, the year they were elected Governor and Lt. Governor. In Southern Maryland, the following legislators voted in favor of the bill: John Bohanan(D), Roy Dyson(D), Sally Jameson(D), Sue Kullen(D), Mac Middleton(D), Mike Miller(D), Peter Murphy(D), James Proctor(D), Joseph Vallario(D). Those voting against the bill were Tony O’Donnell (R) and John Wood (D). In 2012, the Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT) produced the Maryland Climate Action Plan to outline how greenhouse gasses could be reduced by 2020. The plan determined that to achieve the required reduction in greenhouse gasses, driving in Maryland must be reduced significantly. The plan proposes to increase the gas tax even more and to establish a miles travelled tax. MDOT's projections illustrate that the only way to achieve the goals of the 2009 law, is to start taxing Marylanders for every mile we drive. Proposals include tracking and monitoring every car so that peak hours, like rush hour, would cost more. Other proposals include getting employers to "encourage walking, biking, public transportation usage, carpooling, and teleworking," but MDOT notes "these options will have little effect compared to raising the costs to drive". Last year, Southern Maryland Delegates Mark N. Fisher & Anthony O'Donnell sponsored a bill to prohibit and stop a vehicle mileage tax in Maryland and to prevent the State from tracking our cars and trucks. MDOT officials were "strongly against" the bill because they want to have the option of tracking personal vehicle usage. Maryland Democrats killed the bill, because according to their transportation experts, a vehicle mileage tax is the best way to get people to limit their driving and to fulfill the mandate set forth in House Bill 315. Maryland legislators will soon face a critical decision: Create a vehicle mileage tax OR repeal the 2009 Greenhouse Gas Reduction Act. We need to decide who we want in office voting on this decision -- a decision that would raise the taxes of all drivers especially in Calvert, Charles & St. Mary's. So the question is - Do we want the people who voted for the 2009 law that will result in a Mileage Tax and tracking devices, or do we want people who will vote to repeal it? If the Maryland Democrats push through the Vehicle Mileage Tax to limit greenhouse gasses, then we need a Republican Governor to veto it and enough Delegates to prevent a veto override by the Democrats. Rick Salen St. Leonard, Md.

COMMISSIONER’S CORNER
Transparency By Susan Shaw Calvert County Commissioner, District 2 Lots of criticism floats around in an election year. Virtually every decision a Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) makes can be criticized. In the absence of the background history or the full story, it is easy to draw conclusions which may differ from the actions of the BOCC. Many times, when constituents ask me why we took a particular action, and I explain, the reply is “Oh. Now it makes sense.” An example is the topic of transparency. To be totally transparent and still effective is impossible. Maryland law recognizes this fact by allowing 16 reasons for going into Executive or closed session. Some of those reasons are obvious and protect the rights of others, such as personnel issues. The employee has a legal right to privacy of their personal information. The published agenda states the legal reason for going into closed or executive session, though executive agenda items can be added before the BOCC agenda is formally adopted, as long as the legal reason is given. The most common reasons are personnel issues, to receive legal counsel, to receive proprietary information regarding a business or property. Administrative function is another category of closed session and involves meeting with staff for information sharing and dialogue regarding administrative topics. Usually, it involves giving direction to staff, then the staff presentation is provided in open session for a decision. On a steady basis, the Calvert BOCC has moved toward more transparency. The first big step in that direction of providing the public more information was to put the video of the BOCC meetings on the internet following each meeting. Prior to that time, the public had to watch Channel 6 on Comcast cable tv at particular times each week, depending on whether or not you lived in the twin beaches. Either proactively, or when questioned by a constituent, a County Commissioner could characterize his/her actions. For example, “I questioned that expenditure for just the reasons you stated in no uncertain terms.” The characterization often differed markedly from what was actually said, which might have been, “I am voting for the expenditure with reservations.” Sometimes, Commissioners told constituents that they voted for A, when, in fact, they voted for B. The Commissioner might have intended to vote for B, but in the heat of the debate, voted for A. Once the public could look at a particular agenda item at their convenience on the internet, they could draw their own conclusions about the motivations and behaviors of Commissioners. When constituents complained because they had heard that I didn’t support a topic, for example, I could either send them the link on the internet to see what was actually said and done and the rationale given at the time, or I could send them my rationale along with the video link for them to see the discussion and the vote for themselves. This greater ability to view the BOCC in action was powerful in the last BOCC election. The second initiative I undertook during my tenure as President of the BOCC, was to release the supporting documents behind a particular agenda item to the public at the same time as the BOCC received them. Before, the public and the press could receive the Agenda in advance, but did not receive the entire packet of information backing up the agenda until the morning of the hearing. With the support of my fellow BOCC members, we became transparent about what was going on the agenda and both the public and the press could prepare in advance, leading to more informed reporting. The third initiative was championed by Commissioner Slaughenhoupt and involves more budget transparency during the process of building the budget. The Calvert County budget has won awards every year. The change has been to open up the process along the way for the public’s viewing as we debate budget items, rank capital projects, and look for ways to make revenues align with expenditures. In the last few months, we have acquired the technology to live-stream the BOCC meetings so the public can watch in real time. A side effect of this greater transparency is that constituents can make use of the public comment time as a platform for their opinions, which recently have been represented as facts and their theories, which are unsupported, also as facts. A viewer might take these public comments at face value, believing them, since we do not currently have a formal mechanism for making sure the truth is represented at the same BOCC meeting. Originally intended as a means for the Commissioners to hear from the public on any topic, it has become a means for some activists to mislead the public. Finally, I attended a meeting a few months ago where the allegation was made that the public could not dialogue with Commissioners easily. The polar opposite is true! All the Commissioners are approached in public at the many events we attend, respond to calls, emails, facebook messages, texts, letters, notes and appointments to meet. The government closest to the people is the local government and it is close, indeed!

Sail Solomons Owners Write “Bareboat Cruising Made Easy” Textbook for the American Sailing Association Sail Solomons’ owners Andy Batchelor and Lisa Batchelor Frailey have written the brand new textbook, Bareboat Cruising Made Easy, which has just been released by the American Sailing Association to national acclaim. ASA selected the Batchelors to write the book because of their extensive cruising and chartering expertise, sailing instructor credentials and writing style. “We worked with an excellent team of editors, photographers and illustrators,” Andy said. “We’re really pleased with the result, and we’re eager for our Bareboat Cruising students to use this book.” The updated manual of ASA’s bareboat cruising standard is designed to help sailors prepare for a bareboat charter (where the sailor is the skipper of a chartered boat) or an extended cruise on their own boat. The book is much more than just a textbook for sailing students. Bareboat Cruising Made Easy is a onestop cruising reference for all sailors, whether they have a few months or a few decades of sailing experience. It covers everything a sailor needs to know about skippering a boat in new waters, from what to wear to how to troubleshoot the bilge pump. Lisa notes “this book has valuable information for anyone onboard, from the novice crewmember to the experienced skipper.” Bareboat Cruising Made Easy completes the reinvented core ASA
curriculum. The all-in-one reference book includes general planning tips, technical guidance, and sailing advice. From its 4-color, highend illustrations and photographs to its modern, easy-to-read format, Bareboat Cruising Made Easy is not just a beauty; it’s the most helpful, accurate, and all-inclusive bareboat cruising manual available! The book can be purchased through ASA, or onsite at Sail Solomons. Sail Solomons is located at Zahniser’s Yachting Center in Solomons Maryland, and is a 5-time winner of
ASA’s “Outstanding School” award. The school offers courses on their fleet of five daysailers and three cruising yachts for all sailing levels, from novice to advanced. Private instruction and consultation is also available. On Your Own Boat courses are very popular for sailors who want to develop expertise in specific areas on their own boats. Sail Solomons offers a local sailing club membership, and winter courses and flotillas sailing the waters of the Caribbean each year. For further information, visit www.sailsi.com or call 410-326-4917.
Hollywood’s House of Dance New Fall Schedule Announced
Local dance center offers dance instruction, social club for adults House of Dance announces its revamped fall schedule at www.thehouseofdance.org. Billing itself as offering a “dance studio and social club”, the House of Dance lives up to the name by adding more course offerings, as well as monthly parties aimed at dancers of every skill level. The newly renovated 6,000 square foot space is Southern Maryland’s only full-service dance center, offering a diverse and robust dance instruction curriculum for both adults and children. The open space includes a main dance hall suited for larger classes and social events and two smaller studios and weekly fitness classes like Zumba Fitness ®. While the studio offers hip-hop, jazz, tap and ballet for children, House of Dance also prides itself on being a one-stop shop for adults have been “aged out” of dancing. “Most studios cater to younger clientele, so by the time dancers turn 18, there’s no place for them to go,” she explains. “Many of them just stop dancing.” Unlike many area dance studios, House of Dance is not competition focused. While many of the instructors, including owner Donna Jordan, dance competitively in the Ballroom arena, the atmosphere at House of Dance is anything but competitive.
“We take dance seriously, but not ourselves,” Jordan says. In keeping with the belief that movement should be fun, the House of Dance offers a social club aspect for their adult students. Informal practice parties are held weekly for those who prefer to unwind while they waltz the night away and private instruction is always available. House of Dance is becoming well-known for coordinating flashmobs in the tri-county area. Jordan adds that the fun and buzz of community participation is exhilarating. The House of Dance also offers space rentals for corporate events, private parties and community functions. Most recently, they sponsored the 1st Annual Cha Cha Ching fundraiser for the Southern Maryland Arts Council. Later this year, the center will take part in Thrill The World, an annual international dance event inspired by Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” that is simulcast around the world. House of Dance is located at 24620 Three Notch Road. For the schedule of classes, visit their Facebook page www.facebook.com/thehouseofdance.org or the website www.thehouseofdance.org.

Resources for First-Time Home Buyers The housing market has begun to heat up thanks to an economy on the rebound. Few people aspire to rent for life, and home ownership is a dream shared by both natives and immigrants who came to the country seeking a better life. Each year the National Association of Realtors compiles a profile of buyers and sellers that documents trends in the real estate market. Although the majority of firsttime home buyers identify as white, the next largest group are Hispanics, who account for 11 percent of the market of first-time home buyers. The rapidly growing Hispanic population is influencing all areas of modern living, including real estate. Estimates suggest that, between now and 2020, Hispanics, the second largest ethnic group in America, will account for 50 percent of new home buyers. Over the last three decades, two of every five newcomers to the housing market were Hispanic, according to the National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals. In addition to needing assistance finding their dream homes, Hispanic buyers also may need help securing loans to finance their upcoming home purchases. Just this year ezDinero.com launched a multinational online alternate lending solution that helps first-time borrowers connect with top experts who specialize in personal
loans. The company works directly with the Spanish-speaking market and serves as a mediator between lenders and borrowers. The service is one of the few reputable online companies that can help first-time borrowers find financial solutions that meet their exact specifications and connect them with the top lenders in the industry. Marina H. Gonzales, Director of Public Relations at ezDinero, states that there is a need for this type of bilingual service for the Spanish-speaking audience, which is underserved in the United States. “ezDinero was created with the intent of giving the Spanish-speaking population an opportunity to meet their personal lending needs, especially for first-time borrowers,” Gonzales said. This alternative lending solution is not the only option available to Hispanics. Some people find success through government assistance and grant programs geared toward the Hispanic community. The National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals can be an excellent resource for further information, instructing people on how to apply for loans, secure lower interest rates and qualify for loans even if you have a poor or brief credit history. Hispanics wield more influence in the United States than ever before, and more and more Hispanics are making that influence known in the real estate market.

The House of Frames in Prince Frederick has been offering gallery space for local artists and display options for keepsakes for 22 years. Co-owners Beverly and Joe Smialek went into business together following Joe's graduation from Salisbury. Before that, Beverly had been running the framing operation out of her home. Five years ago, the business expanded to include skateboard shop Aggro Joe's. Beverly and Joe work with each customer to find the best way to showcase their pieces, which can range from paintings and antique photos to wedding dresses and even a signed hockey stick. The hockey stick proved to be a complicated challenge, Beverly said. It was a metal stick with signa- Joe and Beverly Smialek tures in magic marker, which would smudge is handled too much, but the owner wanted to be able to show it off from all angles. They ended up attaching a knob to the top of the stick and installing it in a glass box, giving the owner the ability to turn the stick and show it off without damaging the signatures. Because of their location in proximity to Andrews Air Force Base and Naval Air Station Patuxent River, the House of Frames receives a lot of business creating shadow boxes for medals and retirement gifts, Joe said. There is no project too weird, Beverly said. She has even framed a doodle done on a paper bag. “Everything has meaning to somebody," Beverly said. In addition to high-quality framing services, the House of Frames offers gallery space. Beverly takes pride

They make sure to put local work in those locations. One local artist, Priscilla Catterton, will be having her first gallery opening at House of Frames on Oct. 4. Catterton met Beverly while golfing at Chesapeake Hills Golf Course. Catterton told Beverly about her paintings, and Beverly told her to bring some in. She liked what she saw, and offered to add Catterton to the featured artists in the shop. Catterton is excited to have her first show at House of Frames. "When I come in here I could stay all day," Catterton said. Catterton painted a little in high school and during her adult life, but she became more serious about her art. She paints landscapes inspired by her travels in Maine, South Carolina, Maryland, Paris and Germany, among other locations. She also paints a wide range of birds and flowers. Catterton's reception will be on Oct. 4 from 5 to 8 p.m. at the House of Frames, located at 475 Main Street in Prince Frederick. For more information, call 410-257-1420. sarahmiller@countytimes.net
