Governor Larry Hogan Announces Cuts Calvert County in Unemployment Insurance Taxes Announces $125 Million Growth in Maryland's Unemployment Veterans Day Insurance Trust Fund Triggers Reductions in Taxes Schedule a whole.” Due to the fact that most Maryland employers pay the minimum tax rate, many companies will experience a 50 percent reduction in unemployment insurance from $51 to $25.50 per employee per year. "The unemployment tax rate reduction is a sign of Maryland's improving business climate that will allow employers the opportunity to thrive and create jobs as we work together to strengthen our economy," said Secretary of the Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation Kelly M. Schulz. Since Jan. 1, Maryland's Unemployment Insurance Trust Fund has grown by more than $125 million to $983,656,790.26, as of Sept. 30. Yearon-year, the trust fund balance has grown by almost $80 million. This high balance triggers a key rate change for 2016, shifting all Maryland employers to “Table A,” or a range of unemployment insurance tax rates between 0.3 percent and 7.5 percent of the first $8,500 in wages paid to employees. For 2015, Table B was in

effect with a range of tax rates of 0.6 percent to 9 percent of the first $8,500 in annual wages. The new employer’s rate in 2016 will be 2.6 percent. An exception is that the rate for new construction employers headquartered in another state will be 7.5 percent. The Maryland Unemployment Insurance Program is financed by the Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA) and is administered by the Maryland Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation. As required by Maryland law, the Division of Unemployment Insurance does an annual “temperature check” on the Unemployment Insurance (UI) Trust Fund. This temperature check is made using the ending balance of the Trust Fund on Sept. 30. The reconciled ending balance is compared to the taxable wage base for the preceding four quarters. That ratio determines the UI Rate Table for the ensuing calendar year. Press Release

The Calvert County Board of County Commissioners announces that county offices will be closed Wednesday, Nov. 11, in observance of the Veterans Day holiday. In addition: • The county senior centers will be closed and Meals on Wheels will not be delivered. • There will be no county bus service. • Calvert Library locations will be closed. • Mt. Hope and Southern community centers will be closed. Northeast Community Center will be open with normal operating hours. • The Appeal Landfill and county convenience centers will be open. • Chesapeake Hills Golf Course will be open with regular hours. • The Calvert Marine Museum will be open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. • Flag Ponds Nature Park will be closed. • Kings Landing Park will be open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. • Battle Creek Cypress Swamp will be closed. • Edward Hall Aquatic Center will be open with regular hours.

Governor Larry Hogan today announced that most Maryland businesses will see a significant reduction in unemployment insurance taxes, the lowest possible rates allowed under state law, beginning in the First Quarter of 2016. Maryland employers will now pay between $25.50 and $127.50 less per employee per year than what is paid by businesses under the current rate. “Our administration is committed to making it easier for citizens and companies to do business in Maryland. Earlier this year, we eliminated 100 fees across state government, and we are streamlining processes in government agencies, cutting out bureaucracy and working to identify and eliminate unnecessary regulations that harm small businesses and employers,” said Governor Hogan. “Due to the strong growth of the Unemployment Insurance Trust Fund, we are pleased to be able to let business owners know that the cost of unemployment insurance in Maryland will be reduced. This is a real win for our business community and the state as

5th Street Drainage Project Will Help Control North Beach Flooding

The Calvert County Department of Public Works will begin a project to help control flooding along 5th Street in North Beach in the coming weeks. The stormwater drainage improvement project will be completed in two phases, with the first phase beginning in mid-November. County crews will improve the existing ditch line along the eastbound side of 5th Street between Milwaukee and Greenwood avenues. When completed, the grassed swale along the road will be re-established to pro-

vide positive drainage and address standing water and flooding issues. The work is expected to take several months. For more information about the 5th Street drainage project, contact Engineering Division Chief Danielle Conrow at 410-535-2204 or by email at conrowdl@co.cal.md.us. Learn more about the Calvert County Department of Public Works by visiting them online at www.co.cal.md.us.

On Sept. 13, the Maryland State Police (MSP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Prince Frederick Barrack became the first barrack in the state to receive Automated External Defibrillators (AED) Units. Master Trooper (M/Tpr.) Michael Gill, #1351, who served previously with the MSP Aviation Division as a Trooper Paramedic, spearheaded the program and worked in alliance with the Calvert County Department of Public Safety to obtain six AEDs for the Prince Frederick Barrack. M/Tpr. Gill has trained all the troopers at the Prince Frederick Barrack on the proper operation of this life saving equipment and has coordinated the program with the Maryland Institute for Emer-

gency Medical Services Systems (MIEMS). One AED unit will remain in the barrack, and is listed at the 911 Center thereby making it available for immediate use for incidents within the Town Center area. The other units are available for troopers to take on patrol. Since obtaining the AED units they have been deployed five times in lifesaving incidents. The Prince Frederick is grateful for the donation of these units and wishes to thank the Calvert County Commissioners and the Calvert County Department of Public Safety for their substantial donation.

Vehicle Thefts

The Calvert County Sheriff’s Office has investigated 8 vehicle thefts since Sept. 19, 2015. The vehicle thefts have occurred from Dunkirk to Huntingtown. All vehicles that has been stolen were left unlocked with the keys either in the ignition or within the vehicle itself.

Several items within the vehicles have been removed and there have been thefts in the surrounding areas from where vehicles have been taken. The latest vehicle, which was stolen on October 29, 2015, had a loaded 20 gauge single barrel shotgun with a scope mounted on it left inside of it. When the vehicle was recovered the shotgun was no longer inside. The Sheriff’s Office investigated numerous vehicle thefts where the suspect used the same modus operandi in 2010 and 2011.

Thomas Joseph Burke, Sr. January 29, 1925 to November 10, 2014 Feel no guilt in laughter, he’d know how much you care. Feel no sorrow in a smile that he is not here to share. You cannot grieve forever; he would not want you to. He’d hope that you could carry on the way you always do. So, talk about the good times and the way you showed you cared, The days you spent together, all the happiness you shared. Let memories surround you, a word someone may say Will suddenly recapture a time, an hour, a day, That brings him back as clearly as though he were still here, And fills you with the feeling that he is always near. For if you keep those moments, you will never be apart And he will live forever locked safely within your heart.

Love, Your Family and Dearest Friends

Helping Those Who Need It In Calvert By Crista Dockray Staff Writer As the holidays come closer and the weather gets colder, those in need require your help more than ever. Here are the places you can lend a hand in your county. Safe Harbor 410-257-7225 Safe Harbor is a shelter for abused women and children. For 25 years they have provided housing and protection for women who are victims of domestic violence and their minor children. The shelter is located in Prince Frederick in an undisclosed location and holds 23 to 25 beds. The number changes based on family makeup and the amount of space the groups take up in their eight residential rooms. They have rooms that can sleep families of five, three, and two. The average length of stay for a resident is three months, but extensions can be requested in certain circumstances. In order to be housed at the shelter there has to be eminent danger of being harmed by an abuser and you must be referred by the Crisis Intervention Center. If you feel you are a victim of domestic abuse and you need the help from the shelter, you can contact their 24-hour

hotline at 410-535-1121. Safe Harbor provides all counseling and therapy for their residents. They encourage their residents to get protective orders and they provide accompaniment to go to court in order to obtain it. They provide local transportation within Prince Frederick to go to work, counseling, therapy and the like. The residents qualify for nutritional support through Calvert County DSS so Safe Harbor residents do their own shopping and cook their food in the large community kitchen the shelter offers. The shelter also provides full bathrooms and laundry facilities. Safe Harbor is a very unique organization in that the employees work for the state and manage the program, the county owns the building and provides them all of the service and maintenance support for the building and the community runs the 501(c)(3) Safe Harbor, Inc., which takes donations. Safe Harbor is in need of monetary donations in order to provide their clients with services such as $20 gas cards to get to work or security deposits to help them move out of their abusive situations. The shelter does often find themselves in need of disposable diapers. At one point this year they had 13 children under the age of seven at one time.

Project ECHO recently celebrated six years in this 40-bed house.

They also need laundry detergent to help keep up with the need of the seven washer and dryers they hold. According to David Gale, the director of Safe Harbor, food and clothes are not needed as they are already have resources for this. “Safe Harbor has been an incredible positive partner and resource for Calvert County for the last 25 years. We did serve 63 women and children last year and provided them with 4,842 bed nights, but every year we are struggling with a budget deficit…” said Gale. Gale said they have not seen a raise in their grant funds for 12 years and as prices go up, it’s hard to make ends meet, even with the support of the county. If you would like to donate, you may contact Safe Harbor manager Cindy Dunn at 410-257-7225. Project ECHO 484 Main St., Prince Frederick 410-535-0044

Living Room at Project ECHO.

Project ECHO is the only year round homeless shelter in Calvert County. It was founded in 1992, and the first building that opened in 1993 was a 16-bed house. They moved into their current location in Prince Frederick six years ago and now have 40 beds. They have a floor entirely dedicated to men and a floor entirely dedicated to women that each hold 20 beds. Among those 40 beds are two suites that can hold up to six family members. They are the only shelter in the tri-county area that accepts entire families, said Develop-

ment Director Teressa Beavers. In order to stay at Project ECHO, you need to be a resident of Calvert County and you cannot have any sex offenses against you or any open warrants. For food, Project ECHO has a schedule of churches and members of the surrounding community that bring dinner to them almost every night. Local restaurants also help. Panera brings them their leftover bread and Safeway brings them their leftover baked goods. They also have farms that provide leftover produce. “We may occasionally have a night where we don’t have dinner brought in, but for the most part the community is really good at supporting us that way,” said Beavers. She said that anybody can bring canned goods or pantry items over to help out, many times there are residents that have culinary backgrounds that love to cook and could use the items in the large commercial kitchen Project Echo provides. Besides a kitchen, Project ECHO has a common area, a living area, a library, a toy room for children, full bathrooms, and a laundry facility. Residents can stay up to 90 days, but can apply for an extension in some circumstances. Within those 90 days, Project ECHO can help them connect with social services, help them set up savings accounts, speak to case workers, provide job and counseling services, attend mediation and more. Besides the House Manager, Lori Hony and Beavers, volunteers do much of the work.

The Calvert County Times

Thursday, November 5, 2015 Project ECHO likes to take all the help they can get to help man the desks, provide assistance to the residents, and keep the place running. If you would like to volunteer, you can contact Hony at 410-535-0044 ext. 3 or email projectecho@comcast.net. For donations, anyone interested can just show up and drop things off. The best times are typically Monday through Friday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., but calling in advance is recommended. “What we always need all year long are paper products and cleaning products,” said Beavers. This includes toilet paper, paper towels, bleach, Lysol, laundry detergent, dish soap, etc. At the moment they are in great need of washcloths, bath towels and twin size bed sheets. According to Beaver, they have plenty of toys and for the winter months, blankets and coats are always needed. If you would like to donate, you may also contact Hony at 410-535-0044 ext. 3 or email projectecho@comcast.net. Safe Nights Safe Nights is a program which houses homeless men and women in different churches within Calvert for the winter season, providing them cots and three meals a day. This year, Safe Nights will be hosting its ninth season and will run for 22 weeks starting Nov. 8 and ending April 3. Each church takes a week and houses 25 of the less fortunate from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. This year, the program added five extra cots and two extra weeks, one for the past residents of the Hallowing Point trailer park and one due to an extra church participant.

The Safe Nights program provides the churches with the pillows and cots while the churches themselves are responsible for the food, the sheets, and the volunteers. Last year they served 48 different people. In order to participate you need to be homeless in Calvert and must pass a background check. If you would like to sign up to be a part of Safe Nights, call the intake number at 443-486-8670. The guests are served breakfast in the morning and dinner at night. They are given a bagged lunch to take with them when they spend the afternoons outside of the church. Some churches do have showers, while others try to bring the guests to the Aquatic Center in Prince Frederick. Each Sunday, when libraries and public spaces are usually closed, a church (within the program or not) will volunteer for Safe Sunday, which gives a warm place and companionship to Safe Nights participants for the gap hours between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. If you would like to make a monetary donation to the Safe Nights program, you may address it to P.O. Box 3707, Prince Frederick 20678. Volunteers are needed at the churches in order to provide companionship, prepare and clean up food, set up and take down the cots, provide transportation, and clean-up the church during the gap hours. If you would like to volunteer or donate food, please refer to the list of participating churches and contact the one closest to you.

A Texan Zombie Apocalypse

Education

Northern High School Presents “Zombietown” by Tim Bauer

By Madison Griffith Contributing Writer

The Northern High School (NHS) Patriot Players have been working hard and spending countless hours on their newest production – “Zombietown” by Tim Bauer. The play takes place in a Texas town during a zombie apocalypse, but no one is positive about where the zombies came from during this apocalypse. The fast moving show is filled with witty laughs and also tons of excitement. Makeup takes about an hour to do but looks lifelike in the end and the intense zombie costumes bring lots of amazement to the play along with the talent. The show includes students Joey Almony (grade 12), Samson Allen (grade 9), Marina Beeson (grade 11), Mabel Carter (grade 10), Emma Shay (grade 11), Adonis Powell (grade 12), Cameron Walker (grade 10), and Sarah Baker (grade 12).

Extraordinary Nurses To Be Honored At CMH

Calvert Memorial Hospital is instituting a new program to recognize their nurses-- The DAISY Award For Extraordinary Nurses. The not-for-profit DAISY Foundation is based in Glen Ellen, CA, and was established by family members in memory of J. Patrick Barnes. Patrick died at the age of 33 in late 1999 from complications of Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP), a little known but not uncommon auto-immune disease. The care Patrick and his family received from nurses while he was ill inspired this unique means of thanking nurses for making a profound difference in the lives of their patients and patient families. Each quarter, a nurse will be selected by Calvert Memorial’s nursing administration to receive The DAISY Award. The honoree will be given a sculpture called A Healer’s Touch, hand-carved by artists of the Shona

Tribe in Africa. This award is part of the DAISY Foundation’s efforts to recognize the super-human efforts nurses perform every day. . Diane Couchman, Chief Nursing Officer at CMH, “We are proud to be among the hospitals participating in the DAISY Award program. Nurses are heroes every day. Given the current national nursing shortage, The DAISY Award could not be launched at a better time. It’s important that our nurses know their work is highly valued, and The DAISY Foundation provides a way for us to do that.” Forms for nominating nurses for The Daisy Award can be found throughout the hospital or you can nominate a nurse at www. calverthospital.org.

Angela Davis Speaks at St. Mary’s College of Maryland

By Crista Dockray Staff Writer Angela Davis, political activist, educator and scholar, gave The Margaret Brent Lecture entitled, “Racial Justice, Feminism and the Prison Industrial Complex” at St. Mary’s College of Maryland last Thursday, Oct. 29. Davis’ lecture was held at the Michael P. O’Brien Athletics and Recreation Center Arena at 4 p.m and was sponsored by the Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Program, the Office of the President, the Lecture and Fine Arts Committee and the Center for the Study of Democracy. Joe Lucchesi, an associate professor of Art History and a member of the Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies program faculty, gave a welcome. Laraine Glidden, Acting Provost and Dean of Faculty, followed him with the history of the Margaret Brent Lecture Series. Glidden and President Tuajuanda C. Jordan then presented Davis with the Margaret Brent Award. According to the 2013 Margaret Brent Lecture Se-

ries Program, the series was establish in St. Mary’s in 1981 and serves as a way to honor distinguished public service among women. According to the program, Margaret Brent was an early feminist that provided public service to the colony at St. Mary’s City in 1648. Previous Margaret Brent Awardees include Rosa Parks, Toni Morrison, Shirley Chisholm, and Patricia Schroeder. After the presentation of the award, Jordan gave Davis an introduction, calling her, “a woman who played such a vital role in American History.” Davis then took the stage with a standing ovation from the large crowd of students and the surrounding community. Davis spoke about mass incarceration rates in certain communities, structural racism, and the social problems it has created. She also spoke about feminism in relation to this topic. She was met with applause when she mentioned that if all lives matter, it should be unnecessary to insist that black lives matter. Following Davis’ lecture was a Q&A session moderated by Maija Harkonen, the Executive Director of the Center for the Study of Democracy. A book signing followed the event.

Animal Shelter Announces November Promotions

Adopt a Senior Animal Month (Nov. 1- Nov. 30) During the month of November, any shelter animal 5 years old and over will be available for a reduced adoption fee. Senior dogs are available for $25 and senior cats for $10. There are many benefits to adopting an older animal. Senior pets have developed personalities so you

can tell if the animal is a good fit for your family. Most older animals are already housebroken and calmer than their younger counterparts. Adopt an older, gentler soul today. Black Fur-Day (Nov. 23-25 and 28) Avoid the midnight madness on Black Friday. Instead, come to the Tri-County Animal Shelter to celebrate Black Furday throughout the week. Black dogs and cats often take longer to get adopted because their fur can be thought as

plain-looking or they do not appear as friendly as lighter-colored pets. To disprove these myths, we are showcasing our furry friends with a reduced adoption fee. For any animal whose coat is 75 percent black, we will reduce the adoption fee by 75 percent. Just a reminder, the shelter will be closed on Thursday, Nov. 26 and Friday, Nov. 27 for the Thanksgiving holiday.

The Tri-County Animal Shelter is excited to announce their monthly promotions:

The Tri-County Animal Shelter is located at 6707 Animal Shelter Road in

Hughesville. Shelter staff can be reached at 301-932-1713 or 800-903-1992. Adoption hours are Monday-Friday, noon to 5 p.m. and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. To view animals available for adoption, visit www.CharlesCountyMD.gov/es/ animalshelter/tri-county-animal-shelter or www.petfinder.com/shelters/MD112. html to find your “purrfect” pet.

A Halloween Reunion for Former Rescue Horses

Day After Halloween Show Featured Horses Once Neglected Now Healed Freedom Hill Horse Rescue (FHHR) welcomed former rescue horses back to the barn during this year’s (day after) Halloween Show on November 1st. The event featured almost 20 current and former rescue horses in costume, plus other riders from the area. It was a great event to illustrate the positive results that rescue organizations have on abused, neglected, and unwanted horses in our area. “There is an unfortunate need for

horse rescue services in Maryland and surrounding states,” shares Kristy Alvarez, FHHR Executive Director. “It is a challenging effort that can take its toll on the all-volunteer team at FHHR, and that is why this event is so much fun. We can see and celebrate the successes of our current and former rescue horses, some who only a year ago were in rehabilitation.” The panel of judges had a most difficult task according to Jennifer Purcell,

the event coordinator and FHHR volunteer. “The costumes were just amazing this year. The Lone Ranger and Silver, Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Dorothy and Toto, and Napoleon Dynamite and LaFawnduh were just a few of the guests who joined in the fun.” Photos can be viewed on the Freedom Hill Horse Rescue website at https://www.freedomhillhorserescue.com/halloween-show.html. The horse and riders competed in a pumpkin

toss, a haunted obstacle course, a barrel race and more. They even bobbed for apples. Despite some morning rain, the event was a huge success. The FHHR leadership sends a huge thank you to all volunteers, supporters, and participants. It really takes a village to run a rescue! Press Release
