Parran and M. Kiplinger Hine, Jr. Annette and Malcolm Funn introduced Parran and Patricia Hoffman introduced Hine. The honorees both took a moment to thank the foundation and to talk about the impact books and libraries have had on their lives. “Books gave me access to the rest of the world,” Parran said. Hine, who has been involved in the Southern Maryland Regional Library Association and the Calvert Library Board of Trustees, has seen the libraries in Southern Maryland evolve. “A modern library is a community center and a community builder,” Hine said.

Storytelling and Butterflies Help Heal the Hurt of Grief & Loss
72 Monarch Butterflies were released in memory of loved ones at Chesapeake Highlands Memorial Gardens on Sunday, September 20. Over 100 people came together to reflect how loved ones who have died continue to impact their lives today. The event was intended to celebrate the memory of loved ones as well as to create a setting for those gathered to give heart-centered attention to their own emotional and spiritual journey through grief. Marcianna Kreamer, General Manager for Chesapeake Highland Memorial Gardens, stated in her welcoming comments as event host, “It is our hope, after three years, to see this become an annual event for Calvert County, free and open to the public.” In her words to the audience, Kreamer shared, “Since we have been a longtime community supporter of Calvert Hospice, the idea of us working together made perfect sense. Our heartfelt desire for you today is that when you release your butterfly, you also release pain and in place of it, gain hope.” Brenda Laughhunn, Executive Director for Calvert Hospice, stated that Calvert Hospice was grateful to partner with community agencies like Marcianna Kreamer and Chesapeake Highlands Memorial Gardens. “We can vastly multiply our capacity for good when we join together like this, rather than by simply adding up our individual efforts.” Laughhunn went shared that Calvert Hospice’s “Bereavement Programs and the Burnett Calvert Hospice House are open to Calvert County residents and rely solely on the generosity of the Calvert community to keep these programs available because we do not receive direct financial reimbursement to cover those costs.” She stated that Calvert Hospice is dedicated to deliver the “best care possible when it is needed the most. When persons are granted the opportunity to focus on the quality of their life, rather than aggressive, curative treatment which would only deplete and interfere with those dwindling opportunities, they can tend to personal goals, final life messages, healing relationships and finding spiritual peace.” Linzy Laughhunn, Community Outreach Specialist for Calvert Hospice, shared in a brief message of reflection, “Finding healing and hope through the grieving process is related to remembering and re-telling the stories of those loved ones who shaped our own story.” He went on to invite those gathered to “see the butterfly as a symbol of how lives change and are transformed and
that even as we see the butterfly transition through each of its stages as egg, larvae, caterpillar, and the chrysalis, it is this final stage that is most striking and memorable.” He drew the parallel to how, “We often see and celebrate with our families in hospice care that a person’s experience of life and sense of worth continue to offer new possibilities right up to the last moment.” Laughhunn drew upon the wisdom of renowned hospice and palliative care physician, Dr Ira Byock, saying, “It’s really not that complicated. It boils down to 12 words that Dr Byock observed through his years with countless families facing serious illness and nearing the end of life. Those 12 words are ‘I love you’, ‘I thank you’, ‘I forgive you’, and ‘Please forgive me.’” Laughhunn reminded the audience, “The challenging part is to stay current with these powerful messages in our relationships in the here-and-now, and not wait until the last weeks or even days of our life.” He concluded with the poem “We Remember Them.” The Butterfly Release involved opportunities for persons to participate in several symbolic reflections using stones, rose petals, a reading of names, and a symbolic “Wall of Memory” story board. Dulcimer music was provided by Susan Hood, a Calvert Hospice nurse, and her husband Doug. The pinnacle of the experience was the individual release of 72 Monarch butterflies by family members and friends, evoking emotions from laughter to tears. Spontaneous stories were recalled and new memories inspired by their Monarch butterfly. A time for refreshment, sharing and gathering information about grief programs and services was provided by Calvert Hospice and Chesapeake Highlands Memorial Gardens. Calvert Hospice is passionately dedicated to providing Hospice care for anyone experiencing a life-limiting illness. Bereavement services are also available for children, teens and adults who have lost loved ones. For more information about Calvert Hospice and our Bereavement Programs, events, and services, visit www.calverthospice.org, email information@calverthospice.org or call Melinda Ruppert, Bereavement Coordinator, at 410-535-0892.

Service Organizations Band Together to Help Families Facing Eviction from Hallowing Point Trailer Park By Sarah Miller Staff Writer
The Hallowing Point Trailer Park has been facing a number of challenges, starting when the Calvert County Health Department was alerted to potential issues with water and sewerage in winter 2013. When the problems were brought to the Health Department’s attention, inspectors were sent out and found there were areas of raw sewerage, broken water and sewerage pipes, and more issues requiring immediate attention, said Health Director Laurence Polsky. Some of the septic systems dated back to the 1950s. Compounding the issues was the fact that to keep their water pipes from freezing and bursting, renters at the trailer park had to leave their water running slightly. This exhausted the drinking water reservoir, Polsky said. At that time, the two biggest concerns were clean drinking water and the proper disposal of waste. 12 families were relocated immediately and housed at a local motel while the landlord made repairs. In August, the Maryland Department of Natural Recourses purchased the property for $1.9 million with plans to take possession of the property in 2016. Following legal action by trailer park owner Mike Mona and a court order issued on Sept. 15, residents still living at Hallowing Point are facing eviction on Oct. 18, said Safe Nights Program Director Sue Bilek. There are approximately 20 households, nearly 100 people, who will be affected by the eviction, she said.
Bilek and a number of local service organizations, including Project ECHO, the Calvert County Housing Authority, SMILE, the Calvert Interfaith Council, Community Ministry, and Calvert Department of Social Services, met on Sept. 14 to discuss options and ways to help the soonto-be-displaced families. “We can’t have a nice pretty park out of

an eyesore and lay all the cost on people,” Bilek said. The biggest need right now is emergency housing, Bilek said. Safe Nights isn’t scheduled to open until Nov. 14. Service organizations are putting out an appeal to realtors and landlords to offer a break on rent rates, waive background checks, or find another way to help relocate residents from Hallowing Point Trailer Park. Rent at Hallowing Point Trailer Park was approximately $700 per unit, Bilek said. Community Ministry is serving as the point to contact to field offers and match families with opportunities, said organization President Betsy VanAuker. St. John Vianney Church is donating up
to $2,400, VanAuker said. There will also be financial help available from the Calvert Housing Authority, according to Director of Rental Services Amy Crisp. Every year, the Housing Authority gets approximately $30,000 from the Rental Allowance Program, which they intend to use to help as many people as possible. Funds can be used to help families pay for their rent, making up the difference between what they were paying at Hallowing Point and what their new rent will be. In 2014, five families displaced by the water and sewerage were placed in Section Eight housing, but currently the list is closed to new applicants, Crisp said. Anyone wanting to help residents at Hallowing Point Trailer Park are encouraged to reach out to one of the local service organizations. Individuals going to the trailer park directly, including County Times photographer Frank Marquart, have been confronted and questioned by independent security and escorted from the property. Bilek said she no longer picks up individuals at Hollowing Point. Instead, she meets them on Route 231.

Peter “Pete” Schroeder, 59 Peter “Pete” Schroeder of Chesapeake Beach, Md., passed away on Sunday, Sept. 5, at the age of 59. He was born in Nuremberg, Germany to Fred and Pauline Schroder. The family moved to Canada where they lived for seven years. Then the family moved to Prince George’s County, Md., where Pete grew up with his sister, Jackie. He was a graduate of Duval High School in 1978. Pete furthered his education, by attending the IBEW Local 26 Electrical Trade School and becoming an Apprentice Electrician. Pete began his career with Central Armature Works, Inc. in Washington, DC in 1980. He remained employed with Central Armature Works, Inc. for 35 years obtaining the rank of Senior Trouble Shooter Electrician. He was an expert in the field as well a very loyal and dedicated employee to the company, his co-workers and customers that he loved. In 1978, Pete was introduced to Mary DiGirolamo by a mutual friend. They were married in 1980 on the hottest day in July and made their home in Crofton, Md. In 1981, they were blessed with a beautiful daughter, Erika. In 1989, they moved from Crofton, MD to Chesapeake Beach, Md., where they built a home to raise their daughter and be closer to

He was a member of the Washington Sängerbund (a German singing society) and the current Treasurer for the Concord Club of Washington, D.C., Inc., (a German Heritage Social Club). Pete also served as an officer for his community’s Homeowners Association for many years. He loved cooking (especially German food), gardening and listening to music of all types. He was a good son, neighbor and a friend to so many people. If you were to ask family and friends to describe Pete, you would hear that he was a good man, caring, who was always there to lend a hand to those in need. He loved to make people laugh with his great sense of humor and snappy comebacks. He was a very loving husband for over 35 years to Mary (DiGirolamo) Schroeder and in recent years, her caretaker.

Patricia Ann (Dreisonstok) Tyson, 70 Patricia Ann (Dreisonstok) Tyson, 70, of Prince Frederick, Md., died peacefully in her home on Sept. 14. A breast cancer survivor, Pat also fought a courageous battle with small-cell lung cancer. Born in Fort Dix, New Jersey, Feb. 25, 1945, Pat was the daughter of Capt. Kenneth Baker and 2nd Lt. Army Nurse Corp. Stella Helen (Fabrykewicz) Baker Dreisonstok. She was later adopted by Ernest Y. Dreisonstok. In addition to her parents, Pat was predeceased by the love of her life, her only child, Andria Joy Tyson, killed in a tragic car accident at the age of 15. Pat also lost a close friend, Emmi Marley, way too soon. A graduate of Wakefield High School, Pat was a classic “child of the 60’s”. While she worked for the government for a short time after high school, she would soon be found spending more time in Lafayette Park, protesting for social justice, living in a commune and growing her own food. Patty is immortalized in both the movie and poster
about the classic Woodstock Music Festival in 1969, where she managed to have a front-row seat. After moving to Calvert County, Pat worked for BG&E at Calvert Cliffs for many years. She also worked at the local Department of Social Services. She was retired from Catholic Charities. Most of her work-life involved training and development; Pat always looked for the best in people. While Pat loved many things… animals, flowers, music, traveling, and shopping on QVC, her passion was jewelry, silver and turquoise, the more the better. She was also an avid reader, enjoying fiction via her Kindle. Patty was a very spiritual, giving person. Pat is survived by her cherished and loyal canine companion, Jet, her miniature poodle, and long-time friend, Norman Gray, of Wick, W.Va.. She is survived by one brother, John Dreisonstok and his wife Debra, of Walkersville, Md., three nephews, Dustin Dreisonstok and his wife, Sandi, of Merrifield, Va., Daniel Dreisonstok and his wife Jessica, of Smithsburg, Md., and Joseph Dreisonstok of Walkersville, Md., two great-nieces, Kaylee Harrison and McKenzie Dreisonstok, both of Smithsburg, Md., and two great-nephews, Camden Dreisonstok of Smithsburg, Md. and Colton Dreisonstok of Raleigh, N.C. Pat will be missed by her Godson, William Marley, and Goddaughter, Madalyn Marley, both of Prince Frederick, Md. Patty also leaves behind very devoted friends Erin and Doug Hersche and their children, Maxwell, Aidan and Emma Joy, all of Prince Frederick, Md., and Elaine Beckett, from Albuquerque, N.M. The family would like to thank Calvert Hospice volunteers and caretakers for helping Patty thru her journey. Rausch Funeral Home, 4405 Broomes Island Rd, in Port Republic, Md., is in charge of arrangements. Viewing was held Monday, Sept. 21 from 2 to 4 p.m. and 6 to 8 p.m. Funeral service followed on Tuesday, Sept. 22, at 11 a.m., at the funeral home with interment to follow.

By Sarah Miller Staff Writer Students at Cardinal Hickey Academy set out to raise $750 for Smile Train, an organization that helps children in developing countries who are born with cleft lips. The $750 would have paid for three surgeries. Two weeks into the fundraiser, the students have raised more than $4,200, which will pay for 17 surgeries. “I was just amazed at the amount of support we’ve had from the families,” said Cardinal Hickey Principal Jennifer Griffith. The school wanted to do a fundraiser and participate in the “Walk with Francis” to commemorate the upcoming visit of Pope Francis to the Archdiocese of Washington, D.C. Seventh grade student Elliot Hipski suggested Smile Train, after researching various charitable organizations. “It’s sad enough for kids to have cleft lips,” Hipski said, adding that the situation is even worse for children living in a developing country. Cleft lips can lead to trouble with talking, eating, and breathing. The fundraiser started after Labor Day and will end on Sept. 25, Griffith said. One student, who wished to remain anonymous, donated $100 that she had saved up on her own. This is not the first fundraiser at Cardinal Hickey, nor will it be the last, Griffith said. The school tries to instill a sense of community in its students, and giving to charity is one way to be part of the community. Griffith knows a number of students who continue to give to or work with charitable organizations long after graduation. Cardinal Hickey is still accepting donations for Smile Train, which can be delivered to the school. Smile Train can be reached at 41 Madison Avenue 28 Floor, New York, New York 10010 or 212-6899199 or at their website smiletrain.org For more information, visit cardinalhickeyacademy.org. sarahmiller@countytimes.net

CSM Theater Student Appears in ‘Nightmare Next Door’
CSM theater major Christopher Fleming of Hughesville made his television debut Sept. 10 on the Investigation Discovery (ID) Channel’s “Nightmare Next Door” series episode, “Bewitching Hour.” Each week the series recreates stories of real-life crimes that took place in tight-knit American small towns, “where these mysterious murders turned a supportive community into a group of scared and untrusting strangers,” according to the show’s website. Fleming played a major role as Eric Keystone, the boyfriend of a teenage girl who went missing in 1994. “I learned many things about performing and acting within CSM theater, but one thing not only applies to acting and performing but to life in general would be a quote from [CSM Associate Professor Keith Hight], ‘Never say you can't do something—
the moment you say you can’t is the moment you limit yourself,’” said Fleming. He plans to pursue film and television while continuing to hone his skills in theater. Fleming is among the cast for CSM Cause Theater’s “Bright Blue Mailbox Suicide Note,” opening Oct. 2. For information on CSM’s theater program, visit www.catalog.csmd.edu/ preview_program.php?catoid=8&poid=184 3&returnto=1080. For schedule of performances, visit www. csmd.edu/Arts/.

CSM Public Safety Officers Train in Use of Evacuation Chairs College of Southern Maryland
Administrative Assistant for Educational Talent Search Jennell Short tests out an evacuation chair, one of six purchased for the La Plata, Leonardtown and Prince Frederick campuses, to use in a power outage or other emergency. “I feel a lot safer and the transition is easier [using the chair],” said Short, who added that she would need assistance and need help moving her walker down the stairs if she was unable to use the elevator. “We have already begun training emergency action coordinators and Public Safety officers at each campus on how to use the chairs. While our evacuation procedures call for moving persons with special needs to a stairwell evacuation points we wanted to have the ability to evacuate someone if we had to in an extreme emergency,” said Public Safety Executive Director Don Frick, adding, “The specialized chairs make it easy for even a very small person to move someone much larger than themselves.”
Calvert Library Presents Minecraft Calvert Library is “your destination for imagination, information, inspiration”…. and Minecraft?! According to Emilia Lee, Public Services Librarian and head of the Minecraft team, “At Calvert Library we offer Minecraft as a learning tool for our customers. All of our Minecraft events are meant to facilitate learning through trial and error and teamwork.” Thanks to a grant provided by the Division of Library Development and Services through the Maryland State Department of Education, all Calvert Library locations are equipped with Minecraft.edu licenses and servers, and customers can log on to play any time or drop in to one of our special events. This fall, Calvert Library Fairview Branch will host weekly drop in events on Monday afternoons from 3 to 4 p.m. There will be guided construction and crafting with a different project each week. These events are for beginners and experienced players alike. Bring a friend, or make some new ones. No registration required. For the uninitiated, Minecraft, a videogame reminiscent of Legos, is full of op-
portunities to manipulate the virtual world around you to create and survive. While Minecraft is a video game, experts (including Calvert Librarians) agree that there is an immense amount of educational value in it. The game requires you to think outside the box and learn how to function in a different world. Minecraft teaches by direct interaction with the player, and once you have learned the basics, you have the freedom to experiment and try anything. Logging into a world that’s in Survival Mode will quickly teach the player about scarcity and the value of a resource rich environment. If the player can’t adapt to the game world quickly enough, they will die. Thankfully, you can always log back in a try again! Players at the library can be seen working together to build huge structures, fight off monsters, and farm melons in five different worlds the library provides. These activities not only teach spatial awareness, basic circuitry, physics and geometric design, but also collaboration and communication. The library is a strong believer in this kind of supported
hands-on learning, providing a chance for players to attempt new things in a space where they can ask for help. Most librarians aren’t Minecraft experts but they do know how to find the answers. More often than not, other players are the best resource for questions and problems, and thankfully in the library, other players are rarely in short supply. In John Paul Gee’s article “Good Video Games and Good Learning,” he talks about the value of a game in terms of interaction. “Games do talk back. In fact, nothing happens until a player acts and makes decisions. Then the game reacts, giving the player feedback and new problems.” Minecraft is an excellent example of learning through interactivity. Each game is a constantly evolving tool that develops as you push it, and encourages experimentation, creativity and cooperation. Stop in to any of Calvert Library location for free play, and don’t forget to drop in to the Fairview Branch’s guided building projects on Mondays! For more information call 410-535-0291.

CSM Joins ‘It’s On Us’ Public Awareness Campaign to Help Prevent Campus Sexual Assault The College of Southern Maryland has joined a national public awareness campaign, “It’s On Us,” to help prevent sexual assault on campus. The campaign provides colleges with a practical tool, identified by the White House Task Force to Protect Students from Sexual Assault, to engage and empower students to take action against violence. CSM is launching the “It’s On Us” campaign during the college’s fall festival events on each campus. Part of the campaign asks students to take a pledge that they recognize that non-consensual sex is sexual assault, that they will identify situations in which sexual assault may occur, that they will intervene in situations where consent has not or cannot be given, and that they will create an environment in which sexual assault is unacceptable and survivors are supported. “The aim of this campaign is to shift the way we think about sexual assault by asking everyone to recognize their role in preventing it,” said CSM Associate Vice President of Diversity and Institutional Equity Makeba Clay. “CSM is committed to creating an environment on our campuses where students and visitors feel safe.” The campaign supports student-led efforts that are already underway across the country and will focus particularly on motivating college men to get involved. CSM is one of more than 200 colleges and universities across the country, partnering with the Center for American Progress’ Generation Progress. The task force report included action steps, recommendations, and best practices in the areas of identifying problems through campus climate surveys, prevention, administration response to assault and transparency of enforcement efforts by the federal government. The campaign seeks to engage college students and all members of campus communities in preventing sexual assault in the first place, according to the task force report. According to a media release from the White House Task Force, most men are not comfortable with violence against women, but often don’t speak out because they believe that other men accept this behavior. By getting men involved, the campaign organizers want to change this way of thinking and create new social norms. Research shows that bystander intervention can be an effective way of stopping sexual assault before it happens, as bystanders play a key role in preventing, discouraging, and/ or intervening when an act of violence has the potential to occur. As the latest Centers for Disease Control (CDC) report on preventing campus sexual violence shows, wide-ranging, population-based strategies like bystander intervention have the greatest potential to effect positive and meaningful change. Bystander education and training aims to heighten awareness, challenge social norms, decrease misperceptions about sexual assault, and provide skills that increase one’s confidence to intervene effectively, according to task force materials. To take the “It’s On Us” pledge, visit www.csmd.edu/diversity/itsonus.html.

This reflects on a great team that is dedicated and has made many sacrifices. Proving the strong fiber of each member’s commitment to each other, our families, and this great organization. I am grateful to have been a part in making a positive difference in the life of Calvert Hospice. I have always believed that I was brought to Calvert Hospice for a purpose/.and a season. I didn’t know if
it would be 2 years or 20. But my faith tells me that I would know, if I’m listening, when that time for transition and completing that mission has come. I have come to that point. It is with a mix of emotion that I share the news of my resignation as Executive Director.” Calvert Hospice is strong and in a great place for the next chapter of its legacy. The Calvert Hospice Board of Directors will appoint an interim director until the position is filled. Calvert Hospice provides the BEST care possible at a time when most needed by serving those with lifelimiting illnesses, providing excellent medical care, pain and symptom management, and emotional and spiritual support in Calvert County.

Former CRE Stables Moving Forward As Proposed Community Park
The former Chesapeake Ranch Estates (CRE) stables area that is now being proposed as a community park received a sizeable donation on Sep, 16 from Dominion Cove Point LNG. The stables were removed in 2013 due to inactivity at the site with no horses being boarded and general disrepair of the stables due to its inactivity. It was at that time that the idea of repurposing the area to a community park was born in an effort to provide an area that could benefit a larger segment of the community. Local engineer and CRE resident Jay Hopson came up with a concept that includes pathways with lighting, pavilions, a restroom and concession stand, an amphitheatre and several stormwater management facilities to be used as educational tools for the community, especially children. The outer perimeter trail could be connected to the existing wooded trails within the community. The stormwater management facilities could include rain gardens, rain barrels, micro bioretention facilities and more. These areas would include information on how they are constructed and how they benefit our environment by filtering rainwater runoff. There also is the possibility of creating a small wetlands area for use in education. Soils testing will determine that viability. The park could potentially host family reunions, small group outings, elementary school field trips to learn about the environment, small concerts, movie nights, plays, a playground, an area for a small dark park and a grassy area for multipurpose use for children to play. Hopson and Zane Rettstatt, a former CRE Board Director have taken on the task of securing grants and donations from the area utilities and contractors that provide services to the CRE community. The CRE Board of Directors and General Manager Maggie Moudry pursued and were granted non-profit status for the park with the Southern Calvert Environmental Resources

Fund (SEARF), who will manage, audit and oversee the disbursement of the funds for the park. Funds would be sought and secured from donors by Hopson, Rettstatt and other members of a park planning committee to be assembled and funds would be placed into an account with SEARF and disbursed as the project moves along in its phases. The park received its first grant from Dominion Cove Point in the amount of $15,000 and a presentation was made on Sept. 16 as stated earlier and was presented to Travis Scott, President of the CRE Board and the other board members by Karl Neddenien, Dominion Cove Point Media Relations and Community Relations and Mike Gardner, Dominion Cove Point Plant Operations. The park planners welcome input from the CRE community on ideas to include in the park and specifically wishes to hear from anyone wishing to become a park benefactor. The next step in the park planning is to gather input from the community and to begin the design of the park as the push for more grant funding occurs. The first phase of the park is tentatively planned to include the lighted pathway around the perimeter of the park. Press release courtesy of Zane Rettstatt

Southern Maryland Welcomes New Gaming Store By Sarah Miller Staff Writer Are you looking for a place to hang out? How about a place where you can grab a snack and get into some card games, board games, and video games with your friends? Then Helix Games is just the place for you. Owners Bradley Scott and Michael Lehman have extensive backgrounds in gaming. They have dreamed about owning a game store since they were teenagers, Lehman said, and they intend to start hosting daily Magic the Gathering games within the next couple of weeks. “We know Magic, that’s what got us into this,” Lehman said.
In addition to a large supply of Magic cards, Helix Games will carry a wide array of board games. If someone is looking for a book or game the store does not have in stock, Scott and Lehman are happy to special order it. Gamers are welcome to bring in any game, Scott said. Helix Games can host almost any tournament, and provide space for anyone looking to start a long-term tabletop game, such as Dungeons and Dragons, Warhammer, or Pathfinder. They will have samples of board games for people to try out in the store. Scott and Lehman are working toward becoming a Wizards of the Coast Core Store. The store will not stock video games, but they will be represented. Scott has designed

an arcade game emulator that will run on one of the two televisions at Helix. The system features classics from a wide array of platforms, including Nintendo, Super Nintendo, Sega, and more. There are plans to have occasional leader board challenges, Scott said. The store also has more modern consoles for customers to take advantage of. In the coming years, Helix Games will host charity tournaments, Scott said. These

Explore Couture By Crista Dockray Staff Writer Nothing could be better for the shopaholics in Maryland then a fashion boutique that comes to you. Explore Couture, owned by Julianne P Snight, makes shopping convenient for the women that are always on the go. “My service is catering to them, making them feel good from the inside, out,” said Snight. Explore Couture took to the streets for the first time on June 12, 2014, Snight’s wedding anniversary. She started her business as a way to complete her childhood dream and live out her passion for fashion. She had gone to school for fashion merchandising and worked in many retail locations, so she thought to herself if she didn’t do it now at 46, she never would. Snight also felt that following out her dream would make her a good role model for her three sons. “I want them to keep trying and trying,” Snight said. With the mobility of a van, Explore Cou-
ture offers house calls and private parties and attends events anywhere in the state of Maryland, just with a phone call. Explore Couture decided to set up shop in a mobile van rather than a brick and mortar because Snight wanted less risk and wanted to keep along with the pop-up-shop trend happening on the west coast and growing in the east. She does plan to open a retail location looking into the future, however and some of her basics can be found online. The shop is aimed for women in their early 20s and up and the clothing is a Bohemian style, which takes inspiration from big name stores like Anthropologie and Free People. The clothing comes from wholesale vendors in Georgia, New York and California from brands such as Umgee, Clara Sun Woo, and Salaam. Explore Couture is constantly changing with fresh new pieces and holds sizes from XS to 2X. Snight describes her store as being for all shapes, sizes and personalities. Explore Couture offers accessories as well, like scarves necklaces, earrings etc. and all pieces in Explore Couture run anywhere from $8 to $110. It can be a bit daunting with all of the many clothing pieces and accessories to choose from, so Snight offers free personal consultation during the shopping experience to help her customers dress from head to toe, if needed. Snight fully believes that if you put on something during the day that you aren’t comfortable in, you might just feel badly the rest of the day, so she loves to help make everyone feel and look beautiful.

“I know I wasn’t meant to be a nurse or something, but I’m all about making people happy, and I thought well you know, maybe I can use my gift this way,” she said. Snight also makes a point to give back and supports breast cancer awareness, young disabled adults in need, and more. If you are interested in what Explore Couture offers, some of the upcoming events the shop will attend are, First Friday in Leonardtown, Leonardtown Vintage Market, and the Oyster Festival.

Reggie Rice Celebrates 10th Anniversary of Delusion of Illusions
Reggie Rice, D.C.’s Three-Time Comedy Magician of the Year and native of St. Mary’s County, will be celebrating the 10th Anniversary of his illusion show, Delusion of Illusions this October at the Great Mills High School. His first Delusion of Illusions show took place at the Great Mills High School where he graduated and Rice will return for the first time since for his 10th Anniversary show. The performance will be a fundraiser for the Great Mills High School football team and will be about 90 minutes and two full acts with assistants, dancing, gymnastics, comedy and an entire crew to make it run. “I love a full production, I love Cirque du Soleil, I love magic shows, I love movies, and I love the whole live theatre production value, so I always try to do so much… It’s a little piece of me coming from all aspects of everything that I love.” The show will incorporate some old tricks from his first performances, new tricks and new comedy bits. It will also be the debut of a new illusion, the Washer and Dryer, which was designed by Rice and took many years to perfect. Although Rice has been in magic since 2003, he has been entertaining since the day he could walk. If he had a chance to entertain and be in front of people, that’s where he could be found. He was in every single talent show and school play, he would perform at recess and even in class where he would stir up a bit of trouble. He started with magic when he was 19 at Hyperspace as a way to pay off a credit bill and when manager Kathy Hollyer took him to his first magic convention, he was bit by the magic bug. “I had worked on the acting part my whole life, and then I started to learn the magic,” Rice said. After the convention he bought props and started working on his first show. He began with birthday parties and has since escalated to doing 100s of shows a year and attending almost every major event in the area. He is also proud to say that he has opened for Michelle Obama three years in a row at the Children’s Hospital in D.C. According to Rice, this is his favorite place to perform and he goes up there a couple times a month to make the kids smile. He also does many other fundraisers and benefits to give back to those in his community and beyond. “Everyday I love going to work, they say that if you love your job you’ll never have to work a day in your life, and I am blessed to be able to live my life, live my dream, it’s amazing,” he said. Rice takes a lot of inspiration from big names such as Nathan Burton, Matt King, Kevin James, Wayne Dobson, Martin Lawerence, and Steve Harvey. He has even been called with Will
Smith of magic because of his abilities to relate to all audiences from senior centers to corporate events. “You can always have something that you can connect with, with people, you just have to look for it and find it, and that’s what magic is all about,” Rice said. Besides magic, Rice is widely known for his bright and colorful outfits. This started during Rice’s first year in magic, when magician Jeff McBride passed along the advice that magicians always dress like they are going somewhere better, later. Rice took this to heart and has been doing so ever since, and now even feels uncomfortable not doing so. For the future, Rice hopes that he will take his Delusion of Illusions across the United States and onto cruise ships. He also hopes to perform in Vegas, the Kennedy Center, and the new MGM. “I plan on stopping at 107,” he said. Rice would like to say that he couldn’t have made it this far without the support of St. Mary’s, his incubator as he calls it, and he says thank you. Reggie would also like to give a special thanks to Owner Of HyperSpace Fun Center, manager and business partner, Kathy Hollyer and to mentor and friends Tom Vorjohan, Eric Henning, Joe Romano and Brian Garner. He would like dedicate this article to his Dad, Mickey Rice. The show will be on Oct. 10th at the Great Mills High School. Doors will open to the public at 5:30 p.m. and the show starts at 6 p.m. Advance Tickets are $8 or $10 at the door.

Chesapeake Biological Laboratory - Bernie Fowler Lab (142 Williams St, Solomons) – 7 p.m.
Oysters are iconic of both the Chesapeake Bay and our efforts to restore it to a healthy state. Efforts have focused on restoring entire reefs or establishing reserves to restore their ecological function and to support fisheries. Others have worked in developing aquaculture. An alternative being explored in the Potomac River is to use waterman cooperatives who buy “shares” in an oyster program that will plant triploid oysters in the river that will be available for harvest by shareholders after two years. Could this be the future of the oyster fishery? Come and hear how CBL scientists are advising the waterman and the Potomac River Fisheries Commission on the feasibility of this approach. All seminars are free and open to the public. Light snacks and beverages will be provided. Please contact Sarah Brzezinski at 410-326-7460, or brzezins@ umces.edu with any questions.
