Commissioners NRC: Latest Nuke Approve Budget Shutdown Handled CCPS Funded at Appropriately But Maintenance of Effort Questions Persist By Sarah Miller Staff Writer
By Guy Leonard Staff Writer The Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s (NRC) report on the April 7 dual shutdown of the reactors at Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant in Lusby showed that the staff at the plant acted properly in dealing with the unplanned event. The NRC sent a special inspection team to Calvert Cliffs shortly after the shutdown, which was caused, according to the report to an off-site surge in the electrical power grid. Problems were compounded, though, because the backup of one the generators at the plant failed to stay on after it was activated. This latest failure of the emergency diesel generator (EDG), designated as 2B in the report, was one of the reasons for the special inspection. Other problems noted contributed to the necessity of the special inspection as well. “The first criterion met was for the repetitive failure of the 2B EDG to start and load during the actual loss of power event in 2010 and 2015,” according to the report. “The second criterion met was for multiple failures in systems used to mitigate an actual event, as well salt water cooling flow was lost for 12 minutes until control unit operators manually started the 21 salt water pump.”
Neil Sheehan, spokesman for the NRC, said that the problem with the backup generator came down to a faulty circuit card in the larger mechanism which was replaced and put back into service. “The issue is how the backup systems work during a shutdown,” Sheehan said. “They still need to analyze what happened with the circuit card. We don’t know the full answer yet. “They need to get down to the micro level.” By April 9 both of the reactors were back up and running according to a timeline included in the report. Despite the equipment failures that exacerbated the dual reactor shutdown, the NRC said the operators of the plant acted in accordance with proper procedures. “The team concluded that, overall, organizational and operator response to the dual unit reactor trip was appropriate and in accordance with [power plant] procedures and training,” the report stated. “The team further determined that Exelon staff completed appropriate interim corrective actions to address the causes for the dual-unit trip and restored equipment in accordance with the plant’s design and applicable regulatory requirements.” guyleonard@countytimes.net

Every department in government accounts for all money they spend, he said, and he’s uncomfortable writing a blank check for CCPS without any assurances about how that money will be used. “We can not legally tell the Board of Education how to spend their money,” said commissioner Evan Slaugnhenhoupt, adding that the BOCC provided additional funding to CCPS last year for raises and it was instead spend on insurance expenditures. “We’d love to be able to give everyone what they want but this year it wasn’t in the cards,” said commissioner Tom Hejl.

Governor Larry Hogan Joins Maryland Companies, Universities for Signing Ceremony With Chinese Partners
Governor Larry Hogan joined Maryland companies RTKL and Marriott International, as well as officials from the University of Maryland, College Park and the University of Maryland, Baltimore, for a ceremony during which agreements were signed with Chinese companies and educational institutions. Among the partnerships, Marriott International has agreed to work with R&F Real Estate Development in China to operate the 350-room Ritz-Carlton in Harbin; and global design firm RTKL signed an agreement with Beijing Thaihot Jiaying Real Estate Development Co. to provide design consulting services for the Shijingshan Galaxy Business Area. In addition, two emerging Chinese companies – Shanghai Tongji Biological Product Co. and Ankang Shimao Biotechnology Co. – announced plans to set up U.S. operations in Maryland’s International Incubator at the University of Maryland, College Park, which is already home to a number of Chinese firms.
“We are pleased to welcome two new Chinese companies to the Maryland International Incubator and help them connect with new opportunities in Maryland,” said Governor Hogan. “It is also exciting to see two iconic Maryland companies – Marriott and RTKL – ink agreements with Chinese partners and continue to expand their global reach.” “These two Chinese companies will join others already located at Maryland International Incubator from countries like Japan, Italy, and Israel,” said Kai Duh, director of the Maryland International Incubator. “They plan to hire students and engage in joint research projects with faculty members as an important component of their foreign direct investment. They bring with them internship and research opportunities for the university community in addition to the economic impacts on our great Maryland economy.” In addition to the business partnerships, the University of Maryland,
Baltimore signed an agreement with the Affiliated Hospitals of Qingdao University to explore scholarly and leadership exchange programs and also work together on a healthcare leadership training program. The University of Maryland, College Park signed academic partnerships with Beijing Municipal Education Commission and the Beijing University of Technology. Maryland has long maintained a strong presence in China, becoming the first U.S. state in 1996 to open a trade and investment office in China – the Maryland China Center. In 2014, China was Maryland’s third largest export market with $714 million in goods and services, and was the state’s second-largest import market, with more than $3.1 billion. There are 19 Chinese-headquartered companies in Maryland, including Tasly Pharmaceuticals, a biopharmaceutical company in Montgomery County. More than 50 Maryland-based companies have locations in China.

Governor Larry Hogan Meets With U.S. Ambassador Max Baucus Leaders Address Maryland China Center Supporters, Business and Education Leaders
Governor Larry Hogan met with the United States’ highest-ranking representative in China, Ambassador Max Baucus. The governor was joined by Chief Executive Ning Shao from the Maryland China Center, Secretary of State John Wobensmith, Secretary of the Governor's Office of Minority Affairs Jimmy Rhee, President Wallace Loh from the University of Maryland, College Park, and President Jay Perman from the University of Maryland, Baltimore. The Maryland China Center is sponsored by the Maryland Department of Business and Economic Development, and works to help Maryland businesses gain a foothold in the China market. “In 1996, Maryland was the first state to sponsor a market development presence in China,
continuing a long history of collaboration between our two countries,” said Governor Hogan. “I’d like to thank Ambassador Baucus for hosting today’s meeting, and I look forward to working with him to improve investment and trade between Maryland and China.” Following the meeting, the governor and Ambassador Baucus addressed supporters of the Maryland China Center and business and education leaders from both Maryland and China. Governor Hogan has been in Asia since May 26 as part of a 12-day trade mission to Korea, China, and Japan, the goal of which is to strengthen economic development ties with the region and foster positive relations between the Hogan administration and key Asian officials and business leaders.
This week’s start of hurricane season came with a brutal reminder that flash floods, fallen trees and power outages can affect Marylanders even when a storm system isn’t tropical. Natural disasters, however, do not need to turn into insurance disasters. Know what your policies cover – and what they don’t cover – before your property is damaged. “One of the most important steps a renter or homeowner can take is to inventory their homes,” says Insurance Commissioner Al Redmer, Jr. “Use our inventory form or take photos or videos, and then store these offsite.” The National Association of Insurance Commissioners offers a home inventory app for iPhones and Androids, which can be found at www.insurance.maryland.gov. Redmer also advises consumers to consider whether they should purchase flood insurance. Most homeowners policies do not cover damage from floods. The National Flood Insurance Program and some private insurers offer policies for flood damage. There is usually a 30-day waiting period before new policies take effect. Visit www. FloodSmart.gov or call 1-888-379-9531 for
more information.
Storms, Hurricane Season Remind Residents to Prepare
Some other tips to help prepare for disasters include: Keeping your policy information in a waterproof, fireproof safe or off-site, such as in a safe deposit box, or scan it and save it to a flash drive that you keep in an emergency kit. Determining if your home is insured to its full replacement cost. Putting all your essential insurance data in your wallet using an Insurance Information Card , available for free download from www.insurance.maryland.gov.

Prince Fredrick Man Charged With Sexual Assault Victim Tells Police That The Abuse Has Been Occurring for Years
By Lauren Procopio Staff Writer
A Prince Frederick man was charged and arrested for first-degree sex offense; sodomy; first-degree assault; second-degree sex offense; fourth-degree sex offense; perverted practice and second-degree assault. According to court documents, Brian Page Parran, 30, was charged after he allegedly sexually assaulted the mother of his two-year-old daughter on May 24. Court documents alleged that on May 24, at approximately 10:45 p.m., Parran requested a ride from the victim to his home in Prince Frederick. The victim told Detective Mudd, of the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office, that when she picked up the suspect, he was “intoxicated on drugs” and became “paranoid” when she received a text message from an unidentified phone number. According to court documents, the suspect “became angry” and took the victim’s phone away from her. Court documents alleged that Parran began to assault the victim and “beat her” in her head and body in the driveway of his residence. According to charging documents, the victim reported that Parran began straggling her until she went unconscious and stated she recalled being hit in the face and told to “wake up.” Court documents stated that the alleged strangulation occurred four to five times and during the alleged strangulation, Parran questioned her “activities and the identity” of the unknown phone number. According to court documents, the victim told police that the suspect held his hand over her mouth, which she said was “very painful.” According to charging documents, the suspect allegedly dragged the victim toward the back of the residence near the poor; the victim told police she believed Parran was either going to “kill her or drown her in the pool.” According to court documents, the victim told police Parran began to strangle her again and she lost consciousness. According to charging documents, the victim stated after she “lost the strength to resist” Parran
allegedly placed her on a brown lounge chair near the pool and began to force oral sex upon her. According to court documents, the victim stated while Parran forced himself on her, she attempted to bite him and the suspect allegedly said he would “knock her teeth out” if she continued to bite. Court documents alleged that Parran became “enraged” and tore off the victim’s white long sleeve shirt and forced her face down on the lounge chair. According to court documents, the suspect allegedly ripped down her blue jeans and scratched her back with his fingernails and began sodomizing her while she was lying on the lounge chair, which the victim said lasted for several minutes. According to court documents, the victim was at Parran’s residence for roughly two hours and during the alleged attack, Parran threatened to kill the victim. The victim’s injuries were photographed while she was at Calvert Memorial Hospital and according to police she suffered from various bruises and abrasions to her body. According to charging documents, a “distinct” finger patterned bruise was observed on her neck as well as broken blood vessels. Police also identified a yellow or brown bruise on her neck and a bruise on her forehead; cuts and scrapes on her sides and back; and found mulch in her clothes and hair. According to charging documents, the victim said the abuse has been occurring for “several years” but said she was afraid to report Parran. The victim told police that Parran has also threatened to kill her in the past. According to charging documents, on May 25, at approximately 10:44 p.m., police executed a search warrant on the suspect’s home and arrested Parran without incident. According to court documents, the victim’s ripped shirt and cell phone were found in the suspect’s bedroom. Parran is scheduled for a preliminary hearing in District Court on June 22 and if convicted of all charges, he could face life in prison. lauren@somdpublishing.net

DPPOA 2016 Budget Faux Pas
Max Munger Lusby, Md.
When asked to describe the different approach to building the FY-17 budget compared to previous years, it may be helpful to understand some basics. Previously, we essentially took the former year’s budget and amended it based upon projected revenue and needed expenses as provided by the county staff. This created a “staff recommended budget” first seen by the public late in the budget build, and did not include the “unresolved items” presented separately to the commissioners. This previous approach also permitted some ‘out of cycle’ requests (i.e., request for new staff position) for commissioners’ consideration in an isolated manner where it was not possible to determine the impact in context of the overall. This previous approach ensured ongoing things done by the county would continue. Trying to include other high priority unresolved items was nearly impossible to accurately compare against those already funded. In short, the previous approach protected status quo bureaucracy. The new approach begins with describing county government Services (those Processes which directly impact citizens) and Functions (those Processes which support Services, but do not directly impact citizens). Think of Services as External and Functions as Internal. A Process is formed based upon a series of Activities; with an Activity representing a basic unit of Work. The county staff is currently identifying and documenting the Services and Functions beginning the build for FY-17. Following documentation of Services

and Functions, the staff will then create a Basis of Estimate. These estimates will describe the resources (i.e., number of employees, skill and experience levels, material items, etc.) needed to perform each particular Service or Function. That information will take the form of dollar amounts, which then becomes the financial documentation for building the budget. Most critical in this new approach will be the relative Priorities assigned to the Services and Functions for use in making decisions during the budget build. Anticipate more “work sessions” to provide greater insight for the public ‘early on’ during the budget build. This documentation made available to the public will offer greater transparency into the budget build; an unprecedented level of insight into the county government for our citizens. Rather than simply looking at budget numbers, very likely the discussion with citizens will include how much is appropriate to spend for various Services and Functions, identify commonalities that may support restructuring the county government, possibly identify alternative funding means; but most importantly discussions in layman’s terms about the budget for concerned citizens who are not savvy about budgets.

into the six bank accounts and the STD fund held by the county. This money is not accounted for in the budget. This fits into the boards new policy of “pay as we go” which supposedly gives the board prerogative to use the banked funds as they see fit. Again I must state, the bylaws do not give the BOD any authority to spend outside of the property owner approved budget. The BOD and this budget has no plan for any future year spending or cost increases. The recent newsletter mentions need for annual road repaving, but there is no initiative from the Road Committee and no plan describing this process. The BOD has long ignored the Reserve Asset Replacement Schedule established after two expensive studies were conducted. Road repaving in Drum Point has been estimated at over $250,000 per mile. Where will that money come from and when? No plan! The budget proposes shifting funding for expenses from the STD and the mandatory assessments to newly created admin expenses using covenant road fee money. This is specifically prohibited by the Covenants and Restrictions of Drum Point subdivision. Recent legal research led to mandatory lot assessments and the 2016 CPI increased road fees, however, that same research clearly avoids contradicting the specific restrictions regarding use of road fees. (solely for the construction and maintenance of roads). Shifting of STD funds has not been approved by the BOCC. As a matter of fact, the BOCC has denied any changes to the STD levy and budget in the past. Creating a new chart of accounts using road fees does not make any sense. Instead of two sets of admin expenses, now there will be three. This is like robbing Peter to pay Paul! This is not simplification of any budget. This budget espousing shifted spending will go before the property owners in mid-June. It is a thinly disguised attempt to circumvent the Covenants, Restrictions and Bylaws. Many attempts have been made to change the terms of the old covenants and fail because of the 50% positive vote requirement. Most owners have always felt that road fees where for roads only. The BOD falsely hopes to get the owners to approve this budget and thereby set a precedent for using road fees for admin expenses. And for using other funds for any purpose they divine! Please do not let the DPPOA have full rein over spending hundreds of thousands of new and unbudgeted monies held for their private use. It’s your money. Demand to see where it will be spent. Now and in the future. Or return it!
When I first joined the Board of Directors (BOD) of the Drum Point Property Owners Association some 20 years ago, the annual budget consisted of a single road fee of $10 per lot or about $12,000 actual revenue for the year. Since then some 50 individuals have carefully crafted new revenue sources including dues, state Highway funds and the Special Tax District. In 2016 the annual revenue will reach approximately $740,000! The recent BOD proposed 2016 Budget will account for only one-half that amount. Where will the other half go? Why is it not being used? Who will get to spend that money? Why isn’t it being returned to the Property Owners? The annual budget is the guiding tool for planning and allocating resources of the association and visualizing and controlling spending through its line items. The Covenants and Restrictions for Drum Point specifies the collection and very limited use of Covenant Road Fees. The Constitution and Bylaws specify the authority and limitations on board fiscal policy, dues, fees and Mandatory Assessments. The state of Maryland dictates the annual expense of Highway User Revenues for roads. The Operating Agreement between the DPPOA and the Calvert County Board of Commissioners dictates the fixed budget for the current five year STD4a. The BOD has no authority to spend outside of the property owner approved budget. Why do they think they can violate the rules? The proposed BOD 2016 budget was created without any public comment. No Road Committee meetings were held and no comments provided. No Planning committee meetings were held and no comments provided. The Finance Committee met once to approve the budget as presented by the President (who is not a member). The proposed budget continues to ignore zero-based planning and manages to low-ball expenses despite contrary historical data. The budget does nearly double legal fees to $40,000 and yet allocates only $35,000 for ice and snow removal! This is to avoid so called “deficit spending” with the effect of year-end over running of numerous items. Last year over 17 expenses exceeded the 15% overage limitation of the bylaws. Of course, carryover funds were used to pay the actual bills. The property owners were not notified and had no opportunity to authorize such short sightedness and extracurricular payments. Although they would gladly have increased the snow removal from $30,000 to the $65,000 actually spent. The proposed budget minimalizes current expenses in order to “balance the budget”. This allows accumulation of excess monies

Are You Boating Safely?

Natural Resources Police Issue 60 Tickets and 135 Warnings on Memorial Day Weekend
By Sarah Miller Staff Writer
W
ith summer well and truly underway, and here to stay, more and more boaters are hitting the water during their downtime. Helping boaters stay safe are the United States Coast Guard (USCG) and the Maryland Natural Resources Police (MNRP). Southern Maryland makes up Area 4 for the MNRP and is part of the Sector Baltimore for the Coast Guard. The Coast Guard is on duty 24/7, said USCG Petty Officer Gary Kovack. At any given time, there are eight or nine people on duty, in addition to support staff in the office five days per week. The St. Inigoes Coast Guard’s area of responsibility is one of the biggest in the Baltimore sector, Kovack said. Their biggest concern is safety, Kovack said. When they board a boat, they make sure fire extinguishers are in good shape, flares are equipped and not expired, and that there are enough life
jackets for everyone on board. All of the inspections are cold hits, Kovack said. The goal is to teach boaters how to be safe, not write tickets and make money, he said. The Coast Guard put out an app in May to help boaters remain safe, Kovack said. According to a press release on uscg. mil, “Features of the app include: state boating information; a safety equipment checklist; free boating safety check requests; navigation rules; float plans; and calling features to report pollution or suspicious activity. When location services are enabled, users can receive the latest weather reports from the closest National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration weather buoys as well as report the location of a hazard on the water. The app also features an Emergency Assistance button, which, with locations services enabled, will call the closest Coast Guard command center. The Boating Safety Mobile app was

not designed to replace a boater’s marine VHF radio, which the Coast Guard strongly recommends all boaters have aboard their vessels. The app was mainly designed to provide additional boating safety resources for mobile device users. The app is self-contained, so personal information is stored on the phone and is not sent to the Coast Guard unless the user chooses to send it. The Coast Guard does not track a user’s location, and the app does not track a user’s location unless the app is being used.” The app allows boaters to log a trip plan, which they can share with friends, Kovack said. One of the most common violations seen is not having a life jacket for ev-

eryone, said MNRP Public Information Officer Candy Thomson. “It’s such an easy thing to do,” Thomson said. Both Thomson and Kovack said when boaters are found with an easily addressable violation, they will be sent back to shore to address the problem before being allowed to go back out on the water. “We’re out there to educate people,” Kovack said. In addition to life jackets, Kovack said boats should have personal flotation devices that can be thrown to individuals if they go overboard. If an individual is suspected boating under the influence, they are given sobriety checks both on the water and on land, Kovack said. In addition to safety checks, the
MNRP will look out for people engaging in unsafe or illegal behavior, such as speeding or fishing without a license. They also make sure boat registrations are up to date, Thomson said. All the law enforcement agencies in the area work in tandem, Kovack said. The number of boats out on the water varies by how heavily trafficked the body of water is and what the weather is like. There are more boaters out when it is warm, Thomson said. The busiest weekends are typically holidays or maritime events. Local law enforcement organizations work well in tandem to keep boaters safe during high volume weekends, Thomson said. sarahmiller@countytimes.net

Cove Signs By Kaitlin Davis Contributing Writer Cove Signs is a year-old business based out of St. Leonard, Md., whose products include customized signs for local businesses and individuals. Cristi Collins, owner of Cove Signs, enjoys creating unique vinyl graphics, wood signs, farm signs, banners, magnetics and more for customers with a need in the area. Upon expressing an interest, Collins meets with customers to create a design at an affordable price. Both parties keep constant communication throughout the process to ensure the product is completed as desired. Collins provides full service to her customers, which includes installation and removal of boat names if needed. Cove Signs is different from similar businesses in the area as it offers a personal aspect. Collins is the only employee of the business and she brings personal ability and experience to the table. “I take a lot of pride in my work,” said Collins. Pricing for products is based on three aspects: the customer’s budget, materials and labor. All pricing is based on the specific design itself and Collins provides the base price after discussing each product. However, the base price for magnetics runs somewhere between 30 to 40 dollars and boat lettering runs 100 to 300 dollars. Vehicle lettering starts at $50 per side and coroplast starts at $20 single side (18x24), according to Cove Signs’ website. Collins has lived in Southern Maryland for the past ten years alongside her husband and two sons. Collins made the decision to start her own business after working for a sign business in Anne Arundel County for 21 years, which she began working at in 1994. Cove Signs opened last summer, and for the last two months business has been good, according to Collins. With her knowledge in fine art, portraiture and a degree in graphic design, creating signs provides enjoyment for Collins. “I really enjoy doing signs. I didn’t think I would because I was a portrait
artist to start,” said Collins. “I studied extensively when I was younger, but graphic design is my degree. It came naturally to be in signs and design. It came together really well.” Collins was inspired by her love of fine art and her ability to use specific computer programs to create designs. Aside from the signs, Collins enjoys painting portraits whenever she can. One of Collins’ most recent designs features a boat graphic. The owner of the boat Sea Squirrel reached out through Facebook expressing a desire for a graphic. After communicating back and forth, Collins designed a cartoon squirrel surrounded by nuts holding a beer and fishing rod. In addition, Collins also designed the boats name to match the boat brand. “ [The design was] very creative and there’s nobody else out there that has it,” said Collins. Most of the design process is completed in the basement of Collins’ residence. However, many of the big pieces, woodcutting and airbrushing is done in a barn owned by Collins. Large trucks are able to fit in the barn, making it easy to complete big projects. To advertise, Collins utilizes Facebook as well as a website. Yet, hitting the road and introducing herself has proved most effective. “My business really relies heavily on word of mouth and name recognition,” said Collins. “I’ve got to get out there and be face-to-face with customers!” Alongside those tactics, Collins has recently joined the Chamber of Commerce. In the future, Collins hopes to involve her two boys in the business by teaching them the trade as they grow in age. In addition, Collins desires to see more of her signs around the area as her business continues to grow. For more information, contact Cristi Collins by phone 410-271-3493, email cristi@cove-signs.com, Facebook www. facebook.com/cristicovesigns or visit her website www.cove-signs.com. contributing@countytimes.net

Student Sailors Celebrate End of the Season By Sarah Miller Staff Writer Student sailors with Sailing Center Chesapeake (SCC) High School Program celebrated the end of their sailing season with a banquet at the Southern Maryland Sailing Association, based in Solomons. The program includes students from Leonardtown, St. Mary’s Ryken, and Great Mills high schools, home schooled students, and middle school students with prior sailing experience, according to program maintenance chief Scott Roland. Patuxent and Calvert high school students have also been involved in the program, he said. “Both of our teams are in the top echelon of sailing,” said SCC advisor Mike Danko, explaining that of the 26 schools in they compete against, both Great Mills and Leonardtown are in the top 10. “We may not have a million dollar yacht club, but we have the best parents, the best sailors, and the best water to sail in,” Danko said. Students sail out of Tall Timbers Marina. Special thanks went to Tall Timbers Marina cofounder and president Rick Meatyard for hosting the high school program. During the banquet, Mike and Theresa Clark of Clark’s Swim Club presented SCC with a check to put the students through CPR and First Aid certification classes. The check was in recognition
of the life saving actions two of the SCC students took when a woman slipped and fell in the water at Tall Timbers Marina in March. “If it weren’t for the kids, it probably wouldn’t have turned out the way it did,” Mike said. The keynote speaker for the evening was Stovy Brown, a longtime sailor. Brown has been sailing since the 1950s, and his career has taken him all over the United States, the Bermuda, Greece, England, and China. He encouraged the students to continue sailing, because they can never be sure where it will take them. “You guys are just at the beginning of your career,” Brown said. The locations they will have the opportunity to visit will be complimented by the people they will have to meet, Brown said. “Sailing friendships last a long time.” Keeping the boats in the SCC fleet afloat and in good shape requires more than $18,000 per year. The funds come from a mix of private donations, summer programs, and fundraisers. An upcoming fundraiser is Fore Sail, to be held at Tall Timers on June 27. The SCC falls under non-profit organization Southern Maryland Sailing Foundation, Roland said. For more information, visit sailingcenterchesapeake.org.

Learn to Sail with Southern Maryland Sailing Association By Sarah Miller Staff Writer Southern Maryland Sailing Association (SMSA) is offering a series of camps designed to get young sailors of all experience levels out on the water. The camp is held in the water behind the SMSA clubhouse, according to Senior Program Chair Daniel Ahearn. Campers are divided into two groups, beginners and experienced sailors, Ahearn said. “Sailing is a wonderful sport,” he said, adding that students learn to work in a team while on a boat and to be self-reliant when sailing alone. According to the SMSA website, “our goal is to facilitate the development of the fundamental and advanced skills of sailing, while fostering an environment that imparts the love of sailing and the water. Our curriculum is designed to build each sailor’s skill set in an incremental development method. This will result in skilled and confident sailors who learn to work together, care for equipment and the Bay, and build lasting friendships. At the end of our program, sailors emerge with an enhanced sense of self-reliance, knowledge of

From my Backyard to our Bay A St. Mary’s County Resident’s Guide to Improving Our Environment and Drinking Water
From My Backyard to Our Bay was first developed by the Baltimore County Soil Conservation District. From there, the booklet was given to each of the Soil Conservation Districts in the Chesapeake Bay watershed area for customization. If the 17.5 million residents who live in the watershed area of the Chesapeake Bay read this booklet, and took to heart its suggestions and best practices, the Chesapeake Bay would see a dramatic increase in health. Obtain a FREE copy of the booklet by going to the St. Mary’s River Watershed Association, smrwa.org and downloading it. The booklet is available at Wentworth Nursery in Charlotte Hall; Chicken Scratch in Park Hall; The Greenery in Hollywood; Good Earth Natural Food; and the St. Mary’s Soil Conservation District in Leonardtown.

Forest Stewardship Forest land is important to the overall health of the Chesapeake Bay. Forests provide several layers, from the canopy to the forest floor, that act as filters, improve water quality, reduce sedimentation, remove nutrients, and regulate stream flow during storms. Maryland’s 2.5 million acres of forest, most of it privately owned, cover approximately 42% of its land area. St. Mary’s County’s land area is about 50% forested, and has more than 400 miles of shoreline. Wooded buffers along these shorelines are critical to improving Bay health. Acre for acre, forested lands produced the least amount of runoff and pollution. The County occupies a forest transitional zone, where the dominant tree species vary from oak/ hickory to tulip poplar to sweet gum/red maple and loblolly pine. Forests can be harvested on a sustainable basis for materials, including structural lumber, crates, shelving and furniture, flooring, mulch, and pulp for paper. Forests can, in most cases, provide these products while

It’s open to the public. It’s one of those things where you get together, you buy a ticket, the canvases are already drawn for you, and then you pick the colors.

We’re going to need all the funds we can get, but we’d like to have fun instead of just asking people for money,” Harris said. The league is building community relationships, but its also creating friendships amid its team members, resulting amiable outings and loyal sources of support, according to Lindsay “Blaze” Daniels. The sense of camaraderie that comes from being part of the league is one of the biggest benefits of being in the team, she said. “I really like the athleticism and the teamwork amongst the women on the league. It’s a really supportive group of women, they simply support each other through everything, through derby, through real life, and it’s a really good way to work out and be around people, said Sarah Russel, who joined SOMD Roller Derby three years ago. “My favorite part has been meeting everybody, and there’s no day that can’t be made better by skating,” stated Melanie MacConnell, who became an official league member in February.

Southern Maryland Roller Derby has been hard at work to expand and improve their league. Since its establishment, the group has become a nonprofit organization and in addition, has recently been accepted into the Women’s Flat Track Derby Association (WFTA). So far, this derby season is the busiest yet for the blooming league, according to Marketing Director and Public Relations Manager Rachel Harris. “We’ve...gained probably 10 skaters. We also have been accepted into the apprenticeship program for our league, Women’s Flat Track Derby Association (WFTA). We’re having three home games this year to get our sanctioning in, which means that we have two games against sanctioned WFTA teams so that we can become full members. What that gives us is access to better training, access to better refs, we can get rated so we can move up the ranks. That gets you invited to tournaments and stuff like that. It really just bumps the league up and puts us on par to do bigger and better things, not only for derby and for the community around us as well. Saying ‘We’re a member of the Women’s Flat Track Derby Association, we’d like to do a derby event with you,’ that pulls a little more weight than saying ‘We’re just a roller derby team,’” Harris said. Southern Maryland Roller Derby had its first bout of the season Sunday, May 31, at Capital Clubhouse, located in Waldorf. The team played against the Dutchland Rollers team “Orange Crush.” The game was a close one, but SOMD Roller Derby came out victorious. The theme of the bout was “Back in Black” a reference to the SOMD Roller Derby’s black home uniforms and also a tribute to the AC/DC tune. “Well...we won! The game was very close the whole time and the other team were great sports. The final score was 186174, which is a very close game in roller derby. Our MVP blocker was Carbomb Kelly (aka Sarah Kelly) and our MVP Jammer was Aristacrash (aka Tammy Falisi),” Harris said. “All of our bouts this year are themed around music, in particular, classic rock.” As the season begins, practices are shifting course and league members are preparing to travel. “Our regular practices have shifted now. Mondays are usually our endurance night, when we do laps and laps and laps and laps. Thursdays would be our scrimmage night,” Harris said. “We don’t travel more than 4 hours for a game. We’ve been to bouts in Virginia, Pennsylvania, Delaware. Once
