United Way’s Day of Caring A Day to Serve
By Sarah Miller Staff Writer
“It’s just a great, feel good day. Volunteerism is so important in our community,” said United Way President and CEO Kelly Chambers of the upcoming Day of Caring. There are 25 projects included in the upcoming Day of Giving, said United Way Director of Operation Sherri Gedridge. The projects are submitted by partner organizations and can range from large scale painting, building, and landscaping endeavors to sitting with seniors and getting to know people in the community. “If you need it done, we’re going to get it done,” Gedridge said. According to the United Way website, “Day of Caring is an annual United Way special event that brings together employees from local businesses to volunteer at United Way of Calvert County partner agencies. Local residents and employees have the opportunity to spend a workday engaging in meaningful volunteer projects at United Way partner agencies to see, first hand, how United Way dollars are working to meet the needs of our community.” “It’s always a good day,” Gedridge said. Volunteers for Day of Caring come from local businesses, such as Exelon,

local civic organizations, and the community as a whole. Calvert County Public Schools sends a group of students to help at Farming for Hunger every year, and a number of independent individuals sign up to lend a hand. “The intent has always been to partner businesses with agencies for lasting relationships,” Gedridge said. United Way representatives reach out to new businesses and local community organizations all the time in an effort to grow the Day of Caring, Chambers said. For individuals interested in seeing more than one project underway, there are openings on the VIP bus tour. The tour is free, and participants get lunch and a tee shirt, Gedridge said. “It gives you an opportunity to find out what is out there for the community and how they’re helping,” Gedridge said. This year’s Day of Caring is on Wednesday, Sept. 9. For more information, visit www.unitedwaycalvert.org/ day-caring. sarahmiller@countytimes.net
Public Invited to Aug. 27 Town Hall Meeting on Capital Improvement Plan The Calvert County Department of Finance & Budget is committed to increasing transparency and the public’s understanding of the county budget process. This year, the department is hosting a town hall meeting on the capital budget. The meeting will be held Thursday, Aug. 27, at 7 p.m. at Calvert Pines Senior Center. The goal of the town hall meeting is to review the planned projects in the current Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) and take questions from county residents about the process and priorities shaping next year’s CIP. This is not a public hearing, nor is it a Calvert County Board of County Commissioners meeting, although it is endorsed by the board. Representatives from several
county departments will be on hand at the meeting to answer questions related to their department’s planned projects. For more information about the town hall meeting or to request reasonable accommodations for persons with disabilities or linguistic barriers, contact Finance & Budget Capital Project Analyst Julie Paluda by email at paludabj@ co.cal.md.us or by telephone at 410- 5351600, ext. 2286, or Finance & Budget Deputy Director Joan Thorp at thorpjt@ co.cal.md.us or telephone 410-535-1600, ext. 2651.

The ceremony will be begin at 8 am. “The Knights’ support for Catholic education has been tremendous,” said Marcos Lindekugel, a member of the MCA Board of Trustees.” It is fitting that they play a major role on this milestone day. “The St. Mary’s Council #1470 of the Knights of Columbus created a fiscal sponsor agreement with MCA, allowing individuals and corporations to make taxexempt donations to the school through the Knights while the school awaits federal taxexempt approval.

Rockville Cyber Company Plans Expansion, Adding More Than 250 New Jobs Hogan Administration, Local Officials Applaud Growth In One of State’s Strategic Industry Sectors
IT and cybersecurity solutions company VariQ Corporation is expanding its presence in Montgomery County with the addition of more than 250 new jobs. The company plans to relocate its existing headquarters in the county by moving to a larger, 26,000 square-foot space on Tower Oaks Boulevard in Rockville. To assist with the expansion, the Maryland Department of Business and Economic Development (DBED) has approved a $280,000 conditional loan through its Maryland Economic Development Assistance Authority and Fund (MEDAAF) program. Additionally, the Montgomery County Department of Economic Development (MCDED) is providing a $100,000 conditional grant through its Economic Development Fund. VariQ currently has 17 employees in Maryland and plans to add the new jobs over the next five years. “We are pleased to continue supporting the cyber efforts of Maryland-based companies as well as federal and local governments. We are excited for the opportunities ahead,” said Ben Edson, founder and CEO of VariQ. “We thank the Maryland Department of Business and Economic Development and the Montgomery County Department of Economic Development for their support toward our company’s expansion.” Founded in 2003, VariQ offers innovative solutions in cybersecurity, software development, and IT infrastructure to both commercial and government clients. Over the last three years, the company has grown 336 percent, ranking it on Inc. magazine’s fastest-growing private U.S. firms list. VariQ’s clients include 10 out of 15 Federal Executive Departments, as well as the National Institutes of Health, Federal Aviation Administration, General Services Administration, and more. “VariQ has consistently ranked among the fastest-growing private companies in the country and we are proud to support their expansion here in Maryland,” said Governor Larry Hogan. “Our administration is committed to making sure Maryland is truly open for business, and partnering with innovative companies like VariQ demonstrates our state is a place where all businesses can grow and thrive.” “VariQ’s CEO Ben Edson and his team understand what it takes to grow a solid business in the crucial cybersecurity and IT sector,” said Montgomery County Executive Isiah Leggett. “We’re delighted to be a partner with the State of Maryland to assist in that growth, which further positions both the county and state as centers of the cybersecurity industry.” In 2015, the company was awarded the Montgomery County Cybersecurity Company of the Year award by MCDED.

Your County Commissioners will be attending the Maryland Association of Counties (MACo) Summer Conference August 12 - 15, 2015, at the Roland Powell Convention Center in Ocean City, Maryland. The theme of this conference is “Energize. Mobilize. Capitalize.” It is about the challenges we can address, the actions we can take, and the strengths we can leverage to achieve the best gains for Maryland’s counties and citizens. These conferences are not a boondoggle as they serve many purposes. Each attendee can learn much to improve themselves in their elected role. There is also plenty of networking time for elected officials, staff who all benefit from learning how other jurisdictions deal with comparable problems. Participants will learn about the current economy from the local government perspective, how we can foster economic growth and improve the business climate; and the strategic partners available to us at all levels of government so that we can work together and make significant strides towards a healthier economic outlook for Maryland. MACo sponsers the Academy for Excellence in Local Governance, a voluntary certificate program and a collaborative effort involving MACo, the Maryland Municipal League (MML), the Local Government Insurance Trust (LGIT), and the School of Public Policy of the University of Maryland, College Park, that also serves as the program administrator.

Additionally, an exhibit booth trade show, featuring over 250 of the best of commercial, state, and county services and products is held. MACo also has Affiliate Members, 12 professional organizations whose members represent the different sectors of county government (Administrators, Budget & Finance, Attorneys, Environmental Health, Parks & Recreation, etc.).

Cassandra Parran Briscoe, 78 Cassandra Parran Briscoe, age 78, of St. Leonard, died peacefully at home on Tuesday, August 4. Sandra was born March 22, 1937 in Prince Frederick to Benjamin and Cassandra Shannon Parran. She and her younger brother, Benjamin “Buddy” Parran, Jr., grew up on The Cage, a large tobacco and cattle farm in St. Leonard. Sandra attended Calvert County Public Schools through tenth grade. She graduated from Stuart Hall School in Staunton, Va. and attended Goucher College in Baltimore. Sandra married James Thompson Briscoe on September 18, 1958 in Baltimore. They treasured their 51 years of marriage together on his family farm, Stonesby, in St. Leonard. When her husband injured his back and was unable to drive the tractor for extended periods of time, Sandra, a young mother at the time, assisted with the tilling of the land. Although she was used to farm life, that spring marked the beginning of her love of farming and working the land herself. A devoted mother and gifted homemaker, Sandra’s artistic and creative flair was evident in every aspect of her life. She was a beautiful seamstress, sewing everything from draperies to evening gowns. The clever Halloween costumes she created for her three children typically won them some award. Sandra was a splendid and adventurous cook. She was a gracious hostess and enjoyed entertaining, especially when it involved family gatherings, both large and small. An avid flower and vegetable gardener, Sandra served as President of the Calvert Garden Club and was known for her exquisite freeform flower arrangements. She and her husband, James Briscoe, were founding members of The Calverton School, and Sandra served as President of the Mothers’ Club for many years. A lifelong member of Christ Episcopal Church in Port Republic, Maryland, Sandra ran the Gifts and Crafts Booth at the annual Jousting Tournament and Bazaar; for months in advance, she would create unique handmade crafts to sell. She served on the Altar Guild and enjoyed adorning the church for the Christmas and Easter seasons. In her later years, she assisted with the luncheons hosted by the Comfort Givers for families and guests following funeral services at Christ Church. When her children left for college, Sandra became the Manager of Cage Farm. Having fallen into disrepair and debt, she brought new energy and vitality to the farm. She oversaw the cattle operation, and raised tobacco, small grains, soybeans, hay, and straw. With her guidance and the help of the other workers, it became a thriving farm operation once again. A stickler for precision and accuracy in her accounting, Sandra continued to be the bookkeeper for the farm until very recently. Sandra was active within the farming community; she served on the Calvert Farmland Trust and was a Committee Member of the Calvert County Farm Service Agency for numerous years. Sandra’s hobbies and past times included refinishing furniture, soft crabbing, hunting for Native American artifacts, and genealogy. Sandra will be remembered for her generosity of spirit, her quick wit, and her wry sense of humor. The family is extremely grateful for the loving care provided for her by her caregivers and Calvert Hospice. She is survived by her daughter, Shannon Briscoe Campbell, her
husband, David, and their two children, Cassandra and Liam; her son Crofton Briscoe, his wife, Kim, and their daughter, Corinthia; and her son Parran Briscoe, his wife, Holly, and their two children, James and Delaney, all of St. Leonard, as well as numerous nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her husband, her parents, and her brother. Family received friends from 5 to 8 p.m. on Friday, August 7 at Rausch Funeral Home, 4405 Broomes Island Rd., Port Republic. Funeral. Services were held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, August 8 at Christ Episcopal Church, Port Republic; interment followed in the church cemetery. Should friends desire, memorial contributions may be made to Christ Episcopal Church, 3100 Broomes Island Rd., Port Republic or Calvert Hospice, 238 Merrimac Ct., Prince Frederick.
Ann Barbara “Annie” King, 80 Ann Barbara “Annie” King, 80, of Lusby, formerly of Mechanicsville, passed away on July 31 at her residence. Born July 4, 1935 in Flint, Mich., she was the daughter of the late Arthur Mooers and Elsie (Fritsch) Mooers. Ann graduated from Flint Central High School in 1953. She married Robert I. King on April 30, 1952 in Flint, Mich. She worked as a Unit Secretary at Southern Maryland Hospital Center for 15 years, retiring in 2010. Annie was a member of the VFW, Healthcare Workers Association, and Daughters of the American Revolution. Ann is survived by her children, Dennis King (Becky) of Lusby, Linda Mercier (Ray) of Asheville, N.C. and Kent King (Sharon) of Sumter, N.C.; daughter-in-law, Lori King of Mechanicsville, six grandchildren; and 14 great-grandchildren. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Robert I. King, son, Michael King and brother, Donald Mooers. Memorial contributions may be made to Calvert Hospice, P.O.

Questions Linger, Interest Grows in Medical Marijuana
By Guy Leonard Staff Writer As a limited liability company is moving ahead with trying to get a license to construct a facility that would be used to grow, process and distribute medically-oriented cannabis in St. Mary’s County, law enforcement and health officials are trying to come to grips with its potential impacts on the community, while others are eagerly awaiting the opportunities it could bring. The state cannot make an estimate of its economic impact of communities now but it believes that it could create new jobs and other economic benefits after a significant investment on the part of the applicant for construction and security of the drug. Last year in Colorado, retailers sold nearly $400 million in medical cannabis, generating millions in tax revenue for the state, according to that state’s data. Now legal for medicinal use in Maryland, the state commission that regulates the drug is still engaged in the process of finalizing the ground rules for its growing and use. Those rules still being debated in draft form likely won’t be finalized until later this year, according to the Maryland Medical Cannabis Commission’s timeline. Whether such a facility becomes a reality here in Southern Maryland or not, local law officers say it’s legality is not in question. “The law is the law and I’m hoping they play by the rules and that the rules are enforced,” said Calvert County Sheriff Mike Evans, regarding a similar application in his jurisdiction. Due to the stringent requirements under which a medical marijuana facility would likely have to operate, based on proposed regulations, Evans said he would not consider
proliferation of the narcotic into unauthorized hands an issue. “It’s so strictly regulated… I don’t see that as a problem,” Evans said. St. Mary’s County Sheriff Timothy K. Cameron said he had confidence in the intentions of those involved in the application for the facility in his jurisdiction; he said in speaking with Peggy Danielson of Southern Maryland Relief LLC he learned that they intended to grow the cannabis plant but process it to extract a medicinal oil free from the tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) that is the narcotic portion of the product. Cameron said the group told him that they did not have plans to sell plant matter even though the law currently allows it for medical use. The law allows for both indoor and outdoor growing facilities, Cameron said, but both have to be secured by either redundant fencing or specifically mandated building styles. Multiple points of video surveillance are required as are security and background checks for all employees; anyone with a felony is disqualified from being employed at such an operation. Only residents issued with a state-mandated card denoting their need for medical marijuana could buy from the dispensary and then only one person at a time would be allowed into the room where the drug was stored, Cameron said of the proposed regulations. “The proposed regulations are very tight… it’s expansive in its requirements,” Cameron said. “It’s a very demanding application process.” Several years ago Cameron and another chief law officer testified in the Annapolis legislature against a medical marijuana bill that had no provisions for oversight that the current law affords, but the testimony he
heard from terminally ill patients about the potential cannabinoids had to alleviate their suffering touched him deeply, he said. But what also has touched him is the testimony of parents statewide who have told him and other law officers that they have lost their children to heroin and opioid overdoses. “Everyone of them said it started with marijuana,” Cameron said. This informed Cameron’s two main concerns about a medical cannabis operation, that it could lead to proliferation of the narcotic and even with stringent security someone involved in the operation could illegally divert some of the drug for street use. Cameron said he took some comfort in knowing that the group seeking a license to operate in St. Mary’s were local and not a corporate entity with few ties or interests in the community. “If somebody’s going to do it I hope that they will strictly follow the law and have roots in the community and feel a responsibility to the community,” Cameron said. There is some evidence to suggest that cannabinoids have real-world benefits for people suffering from a wide range of maladies including chronic pain, wasting syndrome and muscle spasms but because marijuana is listed as a Schedule 1 drug by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, which means it is not considered to have any medical value. Having the drug switched to Schedule 2, which includes opioids, would give scientists much greater access to it for research. Dr. Meenakshi Brewster, county health officer and head of the St. Mary’s County Health Department, said the data on medical marijuana’s effectiveness can be contradictory since the quality of studies conducted varied widely. “There is good data but not great data,”
11
Brewster said, who added that marijuana was far from harmless. “We need to ensure there are strong regulations.” Use of marijuana, when it includes the THC element, can lead to short term impairment of mental and motor functions and long term use can even lead to mental illness, she said. Worse yet, when used consistently starting at a young age, particularly when smoked, marijuana can lead to serious problems with mental development. “Marijuana abuse is a significant public health issue,” Brewster said. “It is a known gateway drug just like tobacco and alcohol.” Brewster said there is no firm evidence that shows recreational use of marijuana by young people is affected by its legal status for medical purposes, but she said the drug’s use by young people is significant. According to the state’s 2013 Youth Risk Behavior Survey a little over 31 percent of young people in St. Mary’s County said they had tried marijuana at least once in their lifetime. Southern Maryland Relief LLC’s representative Danielson declined to comment for this article but said the response to her group’s intentions are encouraging. “Most of the feedback we’re getting is positive,” she said. In e-mail communications with the Commissioners of St. Mary’s County, Danielson said her motivation to pursue medical marijuana cultivation was due to her niece’s being diagnosed with Rett Syndrome neuro-developmental disorder. County commissioners have signaled their desire to learn more about medical cannabis but have so far offered only a tepid response to the license application. guyleonard@countytimes.net

Renter’s Tax Credit September 1 Deadline is Less Than One Month Away
Qualified renters in Maryland are running out of time to take advantage of available tax credits, just as their home owning counterparts do.

The program is designed to help renters whose monthly rent exceeds a fixed amount in relation to their income. If they qualify, they may be able to receive a credit up to, but not exceeding, $750. Not every Marylander who rents their home can take advantage of the credit. In order to qualify for the program, renters must meet specific eligibility requirements: • Be legally responsible for the rent; • Be age 60 or over, or 100% disabled;
• Be a surviving spouse of one who otherwise would have been eligible; If a resident is under age 60, they must have had at least one dependent under the age of 18 living with them, and didn’t receive federal or state housing subsidies or reside in public housing, and the combined income of all residents of the home is below the allowable guidelines during the year they may apply for the credit. The deadline to apply for the credit is Sept. 1 of the year in which the credit will apply. Waiting until the last minute is never recommended. “We always encourage residents to file as early as possible to avoid any last minute filing backlog,” says Agency Director Sean Powell.

Nonprofit Institute at CSM Matches Volunteers with Community Opportunities at Volunteer Southern Maryland
The Nonprofit Institute at the College of Southern Maryland has expanded its support of the community’s organizations by offering Volunteer Southern Maryland (VSMD). This free and comprehensive online database serves as a one-stop shop for connecting volunteers who wish to serve with local nonprofit agencies that have specific needs. “Volunteer Southern Maryland will become an integral part of the services that our Nonprofit Institute provides,” said CSM President Dr. Brad Gottfried. ”All nonprofits struggle to find good volunteers and this site provides opportunities for them to find the people they need.” The Nonprofit Institute manages the database, a volunteer technology management system that improves the volunteer experience and helps nonprofits improve their efficiencies in such areas as planning and implementing events, helping with office functions, or providing assistance to clients. “I’m excited that we are able to offer this service to the community. The matchmaking aspect of the site should lead to greater satisfaction on the part of volunteers, the nonprofit community, and the people of Southern Maryland,” said Harriet Yaffe, coordinator of the St. Mary’s County Nonprofit Institute. For the partnering nonprofits, VSMD provides volunteer management functionality without increasing costs. Partners can create an account, post opportunities for events
or ongoing needs, and track volunteer hours. Providing a free, easily accessible tool will aim organizations towards a successful volunteer program, regardless of budget constraints, according to Yaffe. Vivian Mills, coordinator of the Charles County Nonprofit Institute, said, “The program helps enhance the quality of the volunteer experience while helping organizations do a better job of planning their events and building public support.” Having a centralized location for volunteer openings in Southern Maryland makes it easy for volunteers to find relevant and meaningful opportunities and strengthen the community, added Mills. Groups and individuals looking for matches can search Volunteer Southern Maryland to find the best fit. Doing a detailed search, people can match their interest, location and schedule. Potential volunteers can search by cause, organization name, skills needed, impact area or calendar dates. After volunteering, individuals can use VSMD to rate their experience, provide feedback and share stories through social networking features. The web site can be visited at http://vsmd. csmd.edu/ . Additionally, VSMD promotes local volunteerism through its facebook presence. For information about VSMD or the Nonprofit Institute, contact Program Assistant Megan Timmens, 301-529-4744 or mtimmens@csmd.edu. Press Release from CSM

Fine Art and Framing
By Crista Dockray Contributing Writer
Whether you would like to buy a gift for a friend, decorate a wall space or start a collection, carmen’s gallery is the place to look. carmen’s gallery displays two floors of artwork from around 50 artists all over the world, including countries such as Peru, Ukraine, Iran, Cuba and Israel. Besides artwork, carmen’s gallery offers custom framing and sells handmade jewelry, pottery, sculpture, clothing and more. “The artists send us new work all the time, so we are constantly switching out what we have,” said Art Director Kirsten Kauffman. carmen’s gallery originally opened in owner Carmen Lee Nance Gambrill’s home as a frameshop in 1981, putting Gambrill as one of the first 500 certified framers in the world and the first frame shop in Calvert County. Her inspiration to open the business came from her grandfather who left her $1,000 upon his death and with her growing dislike with her job as a school teacher, she was looking for something new. With the money, she decided to do something her grandfather would be proud of and started the business seen today. “I took a sabbatical from the school system and then I just didn’t go back. Then this went from half a day to a full day and it started on a shoestring. Now we try to give customers a good product and stand behind it,” said Gambrill. After its start in 1981, the gallery moved

twice in the Solomons area, and then opened its current location in 1996, putting it in its 34th year on Solomons Island. They also are proud to call themselves the winner of Bay Weekly’s, “Best Art Gallery on the Chesapeake Bay” three years in a row. carmen’s gallery involves the surrounding

community with a variety of workshops that usually last between two and three days and can be for all levels. Instructors are brought from all over and participants can enjoy painting, lunch, and the chance to bond with other students. They also host an art show every one to two months throughout the year and can be found at other community events such as Taste of Solomons. carmen’s gallery hosts and runs their biggest event, Solomons Plein Air Festival, an annual, open air painting extravaganza with artists from all over the world. This will be running September 15 through the 20 this year. This helps support charities and last year they raised over $10,000 for their six of choice. Along with this event, they take part in the Christmas Walk, which Gambrill helped to start, on the first week of December. carmen’s gallery also features Gambrill’s
onsite studio, where she started painting only four years ago. Gambrill’s artwork is always displayed around the gallery, but if customers come at the right time, they can watch her paint accompanied by one or more of her four rescued cats. If she is not in her studio, she is offering service and knowledge to anyone that walks through the door. “I want people to love what they get here, and then come back for more,” said Gambrill. carmen’s gallery sits in a beautiful waterfront setting located at 14550 Solomons Island Rd., Solomons. Their hours are Tuesday through Saturday 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sundays 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., or by appointment.

Jonathan DeHaven continued his mid season surge as he scored the win in last Saturday night’s 30-lap Limited Late Model feature at Winchester Speedway. The win for DeHaven, worth $1,500, was his second win in a row and fifth of the season aboard his Swartz chassis, PJ1 Race Cars, no.13D. The re-draw placed Brian Booze and Bruce Kane on the front-row with Kane jumping into the early race lead. Kane’s lead would last only one lap as Brian Wright zipped past Kane to become the new pace setter on the second circuit. As Wright lead, fifth-starting Jonathan DeHaven settled into second and the race was on. As the duo raced side by side and in and out of lapped cars, DeHaven was able to overhaul Wright on lap-25 and lead the remaining laps to collect his sixth overall feature win of the 2015 season. “That sure was a lot of fun racing with Brian for the win out here tonight.” DeHaven stated in his track side interview. “Those lapped cars got pretty hairy and I wasn’t sure which of us was going to mess up first trying to get by them, but Brian drove a great race and I’m glad we were able to get by him and get the win.” A multi grooved surface played a factor in DeHaven’s winning drive. “Greg had this place perfect again tonight.” DeHaven remarked. “Our car came to life after halfway and we were able to move all over the race track and find where our car was working the best.” Wright held tough for second, Travis Stickley was third,17th starting Wesley Bonebrake took fourth with Tyler Horst rounding out the top-five. Heats for the 18 entries went to Kevin Deremer and Bruce Kane. Darin Henderson wired the field to collect his third win of the season in the 20-lap RUSH Crate Late Model headliner. Henderson, who lined up second for the start, darted into the race lead on lap-one and would lead the distance to post his fifth overall checkered flag of the season in RUSH competition. “It’s been a rough couple of months.” Said Henderson. “We wrecked this car the last time out at Potomac and the guys worked their guts out getting this thing ready and to win the first time back out with it is just awesome.” Trans-

Twin Beach Players Presents: 10th Annual Kids’ Playwriting Festival
By Taylor DeVille Staff Writer
Celebrating our community’s youth is a great way to encourage them to try harder and reach further when pursuing their dreams. The 10th Annual Kids’ Playwriting Festival (KPF) achieves exactly that by allowing six young writers to bring their imagination to life onstage. KPF is one of the most anticipated events from Twin Beach Players. “We start prepping in January,” said Twin Beach Players Youth Director Sherry Lehnen. “March is about the time we start working with our youth. By the end of April, we’re telling them whose entries have won, we hold auditions, a week later we do casting, and from that point on we start rehearsing. The youth is completely involved in all aspects of the playwriting festival.” This season, out of 29 entries from Maryland youth, six were chosen as the winners. “We have an unbiased panel of about four to five judges who review them,” explained Lehnen. “They go through [the entries], they have a few things they score the plays for, like the content, and if they think it’s producible and possible to put onstage.” The six winners will each receive a $100 reward. This season, the six winners include two elementary school students, two middle school students, and two high school students. “My play is about a successful filmmaker/ writer who has recently put on a very successful [show] and now he’s under a lot of pressure to write the sequel,” said 15-year-old Cameron Walker, one of this year’s KPF winners. “This sort of dark entity comes into his life to mess things up, and he has to fight that and fix things, basically.” According to Lehnen, almost all of the past festival winners have gone on to pursue theatre in college. “It was this festival that gave me the idea to playwright,” said Matthew Konerth, a three-time KPF winner in

his youth, who wrote Twin Beach Players’ last show, Sherlock Holmes and the Most Amazing Case. “This is where I really found out that I am a playwright and it’s what I’m best at.” KPF helps aspiring playwrights and directors get started cultivating their skills, but it’s first and foremost a “safe-and-fun-haven” for kids and teens. “The camaraderie here is amazing, the teamwork, the friendships,” said Lehnen. “One of the biggest factors for my son was that he could come here and be himself. Everyone can go up there and be what they want to be.” The remaining performances of the 10th Annual Kids’ Playwriting Festival will be held August 7 and 8 at 7 p.m. and August 9 at 3 p.m. at the North Beach Boys and Girls Club (9021 Dayton Ave., North Beach).

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. Join your local watershed association and make a difference for Our Bay!

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

Go to trees.maryland.gov for information on planting trees. There is a Recommended Tree List for the program Marylanders Plant Trees. There is a $25.00 coupon on the website for purchasing a tree. However, the tree must be on the eligible list of trees. There are 14 small trees, or 29 large trees on the list that is updated periodically.
