Commissioners Approve Future of Architecture Review Committees By Sarah Miller Staff Writer The Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) discussed changes to Architectural Review Committees (ARCs) to make them work more efficiently for Calvert residents and businesses seeking to locate in the county moving forward during their Sept. 1 meeting. According to documents at the BOCC meeting, “over the course of the past year, ARCs have been the subject of concern, regarding both the content of several reviews and decisions, as well as operations and structure. In order to improve the architectural review process, the BOCC has considered the need to either dissolve or restructure the Architecture Review Committees (ARC’s). At a work session held June 16, the BOCC discussed options regarding dissolving or restructuring the seven Architectural Review Committees. At the work session the BOCC elected to keep the seven ARC’s and directed Staff to develop more detailed policies to restructure the architectural review process.” The BOCC was lukewarm on the idea of the ARCs. Commissioner Mike Hart expressed concern for the length of time it takes ARCs to make a decision, and
how often the meetings are canceled. Time means money for businesses, Hart said, adding that the ARCs are an archaic process. “It’s time to move into the new world,” he said. For more information, visit co.cal. md.us. sarahmiller@countytimes.net
Changes to Architectural Review Committees • The seven existing Architectural Review Committees (ARC) shall remain in place. However, in order to reduce the possibility that a meeting quorum is not met, ARC membership could be reduced from five members to a range of three to five members. • ARC’s shall continue to hold regular monthly meeting dates, unless otherwise indicated by Staff. • Architectural Review Committees will continue to provide Staff with local knowledge and history, and act as informal points of initial contact and information for applicants. Process • All architectural review will be conducted administratively by Staff. This
Town Hall Addresses Capital Improvements Plan Budget Build Now Underway
By Sarah Miller Staff Writer Community members had a chance to learn more about the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for Calvert during a town hall on Aug. 27. The CIP is a multi-year planning and budget process that assists the county to prioritize current and future public constriction and development needs. The CIP is evaluated every year, said Capital Projects Analyst Julie Paluda. “The end of one project is sometimes the beginning of another project,” Paluda said. During a presentation by Budget and Finance Department staff, the goals of the CIP are to build facilities required by the county’s comprehensive plan, support the development objectives stated in approved county plans, improve financial planning by comparing needs with available resources, identifying alternate revenue sources, and estimating future bond issues, establish project priorities so effort and limited finds are best used, coordinate interactions between county departments with other agencies to implement the projects, and provide an accurate, central source of information on planned projects for citizens, agencies and interested organizations. The county works to control debt while
is the most significant change offered; currently reviews are conducted by full ARC’s at monthly meetings. • At the determination of Staff, applications of a more complex and sensitive nature, or those varying significantly from ordinance requirements or guideline standards, shall be reviewed by the ARC. • Meetings of an ARC may be held via
telephone conference call, with due public notice. • If a quorum cannot be achieved, the review shall revert to Staff for administrative approval. • In all cases, the appeal process to the Planning Commission shall remain in place.

maintaining and building the infrastructure needed to adequately offer services to the community, said Finance and Budget Deputy Director Joan Thorp. Evaluation and revision of the CIP is the first step in the budget build, she said. The county is beginning the planning process for the fiscal year 2017 budget, which will be adopted in June 2016. Community members had questions about how money from Dominion Cove Point will be used, why certain projects have priority, and what projects fall under the CIP and what projects are funded in different parts of the budget.

Calvert County Warns Against Rising Prescription Pain Medication Abuse Prescription Painkiller Abuse Can Lead To Heroin Addiction And Death
Prescription pain medication misuse severely endangers users and often leads to heroin addiction, according to the Calvert County Health Department, which launched a public-awareness campaign this summer warning Calvert County residents. The campaign addresses rising opioid and opiate abuse in the county. Requests for prescription drug addiction treatment have increased 350 percent in the past five years, according to the health department. Seventy percent of Calvert County residents said they know someone who misuses prescription opioids, which include painkillers such as Fentanyl, Vicodin, OxyContin, Percocet and Demerol, and 55 percent of residents know someone who uses heroin, according to the Maryland Public Opinion Survey. “The opiate problem in Calvert County is similar to the issues across the state and country,” said Julie Mulligan, prevention coordinator for Calvert County Health Department’s Calvert Substance Abuse Services. “Most users begin with
a legitimate pain prescription for an injury or surgical procedure but may switch to heroin because it’s less expensive, easier to obtain and elicits a similar high.” Anyone with access to prescription drugs is at risk of misusing them, Mulligan said, including those with access through family and friends or through legitimate or illegitimate prescriptions, doctors or pharmacies. Middle and high school students are particularly vulnerable amid pressure from peers and more freedom in adolescence. Misuse early in life increases the likelihood of substance-abuse disorders in adulthood. “The individual may or may not be aware of the potential for addiction and begin taking more than prescribed,” Mulligan said. “Once addicted to the opiate, users may seek the drug from family or friends; they may steal others’ prescriptions; they may doctor-shop or purchase the prescriptions from a dealer.” Opioid abuse suppresses the immune system and can lead to chemical depen-
dence, overdose and death, according to the Calvert County Health Department. Physical signs of pill and heroin abuse include pinpointed pupils, slurred speech, difficulty breathing, skin abscesses, collapsed veins and itching or flushed skin. Other signs include increased need for money or privacy, fundamental changes in behavior, and withdrawal from family and friends, Mulligan said. For more information, concerns or treatment options, Calvert County residents should call the Calvert County Health Department at 410-535-3079, ext. 6. Calvert Substance Abuse Services, part of the Calvert County Health Department, seeks to improve public health and safety by providing prevention, intervention, treatment and recovery services to Calvert County residents. As part of its efforts, the organization provides workshops, forums, presentations and trainings about substance abuse. Opioid abuse is an escalating problem which the public needs to know about, Mulligan said. In response, the Calvert County Health Department is us-
ing original billboard, radio, cable and movie theater advertising (Vimeo video < vimeo.com/131426983>; ), fliers and posters, and social media (Facebook < www.facebook.com/ActNowCalvert>; and Twitter < twitter.com/ActNowCalvert>; ) to reach Calvert County residents. The Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene provided funding for the effort. The Calvert County Health Department seeks to promote and protect the health of county residents by preventing illness and eliminating hazards to health. As an agent of both the state and county governments, the department enforces health laws, particularly addressing sanitation and communicable diseases, as well as provides health services to individuals and the community at large.

CCPS Expands Use of Bus Status Page
This year, the Bus Status page that the Department of Transportation piloted in the spring of 2015 will expand to include all schools in the system. The page provides real-time updates on buses that are running more than ten minutes late. A bus may run late for many reasons, including traffic congestion, mechanical failure, or the need to return to a school. The Department of Transportation and bus contractors work diligently to minimize the unavoidable impact of such delays. When a bus driver or bus contractor notifies Transportation that a bus may be ten minutes or more behind schedule, a Transportation staff member will post the information on the “Bus Status” page. Students and families may access the page at www.calvertnet.k12.md.us/ depa r t ments/t ra nspor t / bou nd a r ies/ busstatus.asp or through the CCPS app for smart phones and tablets. Please note that Transportation already has a five minute bus “window” in
place. Students should be at the bus stop five minutes before the typical arrival time of the bus and may have to wait five minutes after the typical arrival time. Only delays that may cause a bus to run ten minutes late or more will be reported on the website. Transportation has also added several items to the Department page “Safety Items for Parents and Students” at www. calver t net.k12.md.u s/de pa r t ment s/ transport/safety/safetyitems.asp: • Rights and Responsibilities for Parents • Rights and Responsibilities for Students • School Bus Rules – yellow card that must be completed, signed and turned in by every child to the bus driver annually, and also if the student changes buses during the school year. • School Bus Safety Video Press Release

Calvert County Unveils “Prepare Me Calvert” Mobile App for Citizens
The Calvert County Department of Public Safety Division of Emergency Management announces the launch of a new app that will help residents and visitors prepare for emergencies. The official launch of the “Prepare Me Calvert” app occurred today, Tuesday, Sept. 1, after the Calvert County Board of County Commissioners proclaimed September “Calvert County Preparedness Month” at its weekly public meeting. The “Prepare Me Calvert” mobile app is a must-have app for emergency preparedness and information. It puts critical, real-time information at users’ fingertips in the unlikely event of a regional emergency and helps resi-
dents stay prepared. Citizens are encouraged to download “Prepare Me Calvert” now for iOS (Apple) and Android devices for free through the Apple App Store or the Google Play market. Some of the many features of the app include: • Alerts for actual emergencies that scroll across the screen • A weather section providing information based on users’ geographical locations along with guidance on how to respond to the weather conditions • Information on traffic, shelters, school closings and power outages
• An “I’m OK” feature allowing users to send messages to loved ones—when phone systems are clogged in an emergency— letting them know their status during an emergency • A “Where Am I” feature that can send the user’s exact location to any recipient via text, email, Facebook or Twitter • A sign-up area for people to register themselves if they, or a loved one, have special needs, want to sign up to receive Calvert Alerts or who wish to join the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) “Our primary mission is to minimize the effects of future disasters through mitigation,
planning, training and response efforts. This is the first app of its kind in our county and we feel it is a great tool for our citizens to better prepare themselves and to stay informed,” said Jacqueline K. Vaughan, Calvert County Public Safety Director. For more information about the Department of Public Safety Division of Emergency Management, call 410-535-1600, ext.2638; send an email to oem@co.cal.md.us, or visit online at www.co.cal.md.us/emergencymanagement.

Hallowing Point Trailer Park
significant decreases in tobacco use. Over the years, this funding has been allocated by subsequent Governors and the General Assembly to things other than tobacco control, and merchants are again selling this deadly addictive product to our children with impunity. Last year, the state nearly lost a significant portion of its federal drug control money because we were not meeting the federal mandated targets on limiting tobacco sales to minors. If the Lt. Governor wants additional money to fight heroin, I suggest he and the Governor support our efforts to raise tobacco taxes. Some of the money raised could be earmarked for fighting both heroin and tobacco use.
Bitter cold single digit temperatures on a Sunday in January 2014, I received a call from dedicated teachers who were visiting the Hallowing Point Trailer Park to ensure their students were receiving food and supplies. They described horrible conditions and asked that I visit. Within an hour, the County Administrator, Terry Shannon and I were on-site observing conditions too deplorable to describe. Not the worst observations were frozen water pipes and raw sewage on the grounds. That evening was a difficult one to fall asleep in the comfort of a warm home, but Monday, Terry pulled together a plan. The next day, the commissioners were briefed and authorized an immediate rescue mission. Public Safety, Community Resources, Health and other inspectors descended upon the property. Eleven trailers were found to be unfit for habitation by the Health Department and 14 families were subsequently relocated to a temporary emergency shelter. Thirty-one adults and 22 children were relocated. The Housing Authority of Calvert County helped the dislocated residents with rental options and the Calvert County Department of Social Services worked with those eligible for other assistance. Several families elected to return to the trailer park after water and sewer violations identified by the Calvert County Health Department were corrected. Other families were able to find alternate housing through relatives or through the assistance of the Housing Authority. Since then, inspectors continued to work in the trailer park for nearly a full year on the livability code violations regarding leaky roofs, inadequate heating, electrical problems and other situations. A legal agreement was reached to address the environmental and health hazards at the site to mitigate the majority of environmental and health risks and longterm actions to more fully address the hazards.

The Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR) reached agreement with the property owner to purchase the 5-acre property. The purchase was approved by the Maryland Board of Public Works (Gov. Larry Hogan, Comptroller Peter Franchot and Treasurer Nancy Kopp) Aug. 26. Under the conditions of the sale, the current property owner must clear the site of all improvements (trailers, buildings, etc.) and properly abandon well and septic systems. Closing on the property will occur only after the site is properly cleared. This time will allow the owner to provide proper notification and relocation of the current trailer park residents. The property owner will have up to one year to transition any remaining tenants out of their trailers and clean up the property before going to settlement. We are thankful that the sales agreement requires that the land owner to finally clean up the property as a condition of settlement prior to DNR acquisition. While many may want to actively help these families, they still deserve their privacy. The state Department of Human Resources, through its local Social Services offices, determines eligibility for public assistance. Housing assistance may be available, and state Social Services will work with local organizations to provide emergency shelter and transitional housing if needed. The county Department of Community Resources (410-535-1600, ext. 8803) is available for intake and referral services. Board of County Commissioners Vice President Evan K.

In recent media appearances Maryland Lt. Governor Rutherford has stated that the state lacks funds to fight the heroin problem that killed 578 Maryland residents last year. Although I agree heroin deaths are a major problem, this number pales when compared to the 6,800 deaths each year in Maryland from tobacco-related disease, secondhand smoke or fires caused by cigarettes. Lt. Governor Rutherford states that.... “Every third-grader can tell you how bad cigarettes are,” .... yet approximately 12 percent of our high school children (36, 800) and 16.4 percent (758,600) of our adults are smokers. When our state first started receiving money from the National Tobacco Settlement, Governor Glendening allocated 21 million dollars per year to fighting the tobacco problem and we saw

Calvert Library Completes 3-Year Strategic Plan
By Sarah Miller Staff Writer
Calvert Library recently completed a comprehensive study of services offered, community needs and resource utilization to create a comprehensive strategic plan for the next three years. The strategic planning process began in March of 2015. From the start it was designed to be inclusive and engaging, said Calvert Library Director Carrie Plymire. According to Public Relations Coordinator Robyn Truslow, three community areas of interest emerged during the community survey – health, finance, and community service. “People want to be involved in the community and they want to make a difference,” Truslow said. Organizational Management and Change Consulting Specialist Marisa Sanchez donated more than 70 hours to interview all branch managers and coordinators and conduct focus groups with staff at each branch and the Board of Library Trustees, Plymire said. Staff and leaders had opportunities to voice their assessment of the current state of the library and to articulate ideas for further direction. In addition, approximately 60 percent of the staff participated in one of five teams formed to collect additional data, Plymire said. In addition to community focus groups, library employees were involved in a number of teams to collect data about the Calvert County population and current library usage. The Customer Survey Team administered a survey to over 1,000 existing and potential customers to understand customer needs. The Focus Group Team conducted 11 focus groups reaching well over 100 individuals to understand community needs. The Benchmarking Team explored trends in comparable public libraries. The Program Inventory Team evaluated existing library programs based on impact and viability. Moving forward, the library will be eval-
uating at all programs offered and finding places to trim in order to make way for new programs and fill the service gaps. The library will be researching ways to embed librarians within the community in an outreach capacity, Truslow said. In locations researched during the development process, libraries were found that lend librarians to tourism and economic departments, or that spend time at community centers and health departments doing storytimes. One of the more successful outreach programs has librarians go into the women’s detention center and work with mothers to learn how to read to their children. Mothers record themselves reading a book and send the recording and a copy of the book to their children, Truslow said. One way the library intends to fill gaps moving forward is by partnering with schools, the local government and businesses to raise awareness and offer additional programming. The library will continue to utilize volunteers to support libraries by teaching programs and free up time for librarians to spend more time with customers. One of the most pressing service gaps identified during the study was the lack of services to teens. Other libraries have teen centers, Plymire said, and in coming months, the library will try to find ways to offer a safe place for teens to socialize and be creative without the structure of a formal program. “None of the libraries have a place for teens that are safe, creative, chaotic, and loud,” Plymire said, adding that that is the kind of place teens want. According to information from Calvert Library, “The strategic plan will serve as Calvert Library’s organization roadmap for FY16-FY18. Each year, the library will create an annual plan outlining the services, programs and events that will aid us in accomplishing our strategic goals and objectives. These will be prioritized based on importance and resource availability. The director will monitor the progress of the plan

and provide the library board with a progress report every six months. The success of the plan will be measured by increases in the transactions associated with the goals and by the positive outcomes resulting from our role in the community as we inspire possibility.” One of the goals in the plan was to beef up the virtual branch of the library, Plymire said, and strides are already being made to fulfill that goal. The library recently added two platforms to allow patrons to access movies, music, audiobooks, and more – Hoopla and One Click Digital. The library’s goal is to support the community, Plymire said, and the strategic plan will be evaluated regularly to ensure it remains relevant.

Strategic Goals 1. Support a Strong Community 2. Expand Services to Specific Populations 3. Enlarge the “Virtual 5th Branch”
Calvert Library Values • Embrace change, take risks and learn from mistakes • Collaborate within library locations, the community, the region and the state • Support individual creativity and diversity • Learn and facilitate the learning of others as a means to empower and transform lives • Engage and build the community

Martial Arts at the Library By Sarah Miller Staff Writer Do you want to learn the basics of self-defense, or staying safe when you leave home? Sign up for the self defense workshop, to be hosted at Calvert Library Prince Frederick in cooperation with the Black Belt Academy of Prince Frederick on Sept. 9 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. You can't communicate to somebody in an hour and a half how to defend themselves, said Black Belt Academy owner Master Kyle Webber. His goal is to give participants advice on staying aware of their surroundings and showing them basic defensive moves they can practice at home. He plans to focus on situational awareness and assertiveness, giving people the tools to stand up for themselves and take their safety into their own hands. "It's better to have it and not need it than to not have it," Webber said. The goal of programs at the library are to introduce participants to a topic, then offer resources to learn more, said librarian Molly Weeks Crumbly. This is not the first time Calvert Library has hosted a self-defense workshop and it won't be the last, said Crumbly, who is also
an instructor at the Black Belt Academy. This workshop is geared for adults ages 16 and up, and there will be a workshop for middle school students in Spring 2016. For more information, or to register for the selfdefense class, visit calvert.lib.md.us. sarahmiller@countytimes.net

Same-day registration will be available on the morning of the race. The event is for all types and ages of people. “The purpose of the Live Out Loud End Hunger Obstacle Run is to end hunger in Calvert County by doing something you love and making a difference while you do it,” said Chesapeake Church End Hunger supervisor Jackie Miller. “The best part of the Live Out Loud Obstacle Run is that it’s an event for everyone and our largest age group is teens!”
The Live Out Loud End Hunger Obstacle Run was first created to honor the life of Matthew Bertolaccini. “Matt’s family and friends wish to perpetuate the spirit of his faith and compassion for other by dedicating this event to him,” Miller said. Bertolaccini’s life was ended tragically at the age of thirteen in an accident in 2004. Participants in the Live Out Loud Obstacle Run will help to support Bertolaccini’s family, as well as End Hunger in Calvert County. The money raised from the event will go directly to End Hunger to help provide meals for families in need, and fund future End Hunger events. The run emphasizes on giving local support to the community, as well as getting more people involved in the End Hunger community. There will be a tribute to Bertolaccini’s family after the races have been completed, as well as an after party complete with a DJ and free food. The event is fun and enjoyable, but also helps a meaningful cause. For more information, visit endhungercalvert.org/ events/obstacle-run/. contributing@countytimes.net

Always There Companion Care By Sarah Miller Staff Writer Do you have a loved one living at home who needs a little help during the day? Always there Companion Care (ATCC) can offer some help! ATCC Owner Sandie Johnson started the business six years ago. She was working at a nursing home at the time, and was in contact with a number of families trying to keep their loved ones at home as long as possible. “I opened the business for the families,” Johnson said. Becoming a caregiver for an aging family member can be taxing on the entire family, Johnson said. ATCC gives offers respite for families so they can work, go on vacation, and go to school without worrying about their loved one at home. ATCC does not offer health care services, such as bathing and giving out medica-
tion. They can help cook meals, give clients rides to appointments, and the security of having someone else in the house. Companions will even go to medical visits with clients to ensure the family gets all needed information from the doctor. Before taking on a client, Johnson and ATCC Director of Operations Paula Morgan will go into the home and evaluate what type of care is needed and work out the details with the family. If the care needed exceed what ATCC can provide, Johnson has a number of resources she will recommend. Safety is their highest priority, she said. ATCC can offer around the clock care, and all employees are trained to work with clients with varying degrees of dementia and Alzheimer’s.
