Press Release

Fly Safe with Your Drone

On December 7, 2015, the Federal Aviation Administration’s Safety Team issued the following reminder: If you fly a drone anywhere in the nation’s airspace, you automatically become part of the U.S. aviation system. Under the law, your drone is an aircraft. So while the rules for drones may be different, you have the responsibility to operate safely, just as a Cessna or 747 pilot does. The FAA has developed a safety

checklist that you, as a pilot, should use whenever you send a drone into the sky. We want you to fly safe, fly smart – and have fun. Press Release James R. Guy, President Michael L. Hewitt, Commissioner Tom Jarboe, Commissioner Todd B. Morgan, Commissioner John E. O’Connor, Commissioner

By Crista Dockray Staff Writer

Students at the Calvert Country School helped Dominion Cove Point with their Forest Mitigation Plan on Monday, Dec. 14. From 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. students and employees of Dominion Cove Point worked together to plant trees on the school property. According to a press release, Dominion worked with the public school system and government agencies and identified 15 acres of land where they will plant about 5,250 trees native to Calvert County and the Chesapeake Bay.

Calvert Physician Associates (CPA) is pleased to welcome board-certified family medicine physician Dr. Sylvia Batong to Calvert Primary Care Prince Frederick. Dr. Batong, who has been in practice over 20 years, provides personalized health care for the entire family including health screenings, preventive medicine, complete physicals, well-baby checks and annual gynecological exams. She joins more than 20 primary care and specialty physicians, nurse practitioners and physician assistants that comprise CPA, the employed provider network of Calvert Health System. Teresa Baran, executive director of CPA, says, “We are delighted to have Dr. Batong as part of our team. There is a real need for primary care physicians and she will be a great asset.” Dr. Batong graduated from New York Medical College and completed her training in family medicine at Dewitt Army Hospital in Fort Belvoir, Virginia. A longtime Calvert County resident, Dr. Batong moved here in 1992 and joined the medical staff at Calvert Memorial Hospital. She has worked in our community ever since, both in private practice and at the hospital’s urgent care centers. Dean Teague, president and CEO of the Calvert Health System, says, “We are a community hospital so it is important

to us that our providers feel that same sense of community that we do, and Dr. Batong certainly meets that criteria. She moved here right after her military service, raised her family here and continues to be a very active member of our community. We are very happy to have her as part of the Calvert family.” Dr. Batong treats patients of all ages and has a very holistic approach to patient care. She says, “I try to know everything I can about my patient’s life – work, marital,and social. It’s all important to providing good care.” Calvert Primary Care Prince Frederick is located in Suite111 of the Calvert Medical Office Building adjacent to the hospital To make an appointment with Dr. Batong, call 410-535-4488. In addition to Primary Care, CPA also includes specialists in Gastroenterology, Hematology and Oncology, Otolaryngology (ENT), Physical Medicine and Pain Management, General Surgery, and OB/ GYN.

HOW DOES A TANKLESS SPACE SAVING CALCULATION WORK? The obvious difference between a tank and a tankless is its size. Not only will you gain significant space, but you’ll also get endless hot water with a tankless. Noritz tankless water heaters last longer than traditional tank water heaters and are backed up with a 12-year warranty.

STEP 5

The Noritz tankless water heater provides an endless stream of hot water. When the tap is turned off, the unit shuts off.

With a tankless, you won’t be using hot water that is stored in a tank that can accumulate scale and rust over time. Noritz units allow you to set the temperature you want.

A traditional tank-type water heater takes up to 13 ft2 of space. If 1 ft2 is worth $200, that’s $2,600 (13 ft2 x $200) worth of space you could be saving at Noritz.

Man Sentenced In Calvert Beating Death

By Guy Leonard Staff Writer A Calvert County Circuit Court judge sentenced a Port Republic man to three decades in prison Dec. 11 for his part in the beating death of man involved in what police said was a botched drug deal. Judge Gregory Wells sentenced Gary Sylvester Mason, 36, to life in prison but suspended the sentence down to 30 years behind bars. According to police reports surrounding the homicide both Mason and his wife, Nicole Danielle Dalrymple, 28, went to Sixes Road to meet with the victim, Rodney Vincent Mackall March 3 to buy crack cocaine from him. According to a police interview with Mason, when the pair met with Mackall he called out “Hello beautiful” to Dalrymple which infuriated Mason. Mason then struck Mackall in the head with a mallet, felling the victim to the ground. Mason told police that he struck Mackall in the

Crime

head repeatedly with both the mallet and his fist. Mason said he and his wife walked towards the direction of Route 4 where they were picked up by an aquaintance who had driven Dalrymple to the drug buy, after the beating. They told police that before leaving, however, they had gone through Mackall’s pockets and took crack cocaine and the victim’s wallet. Mackall was initially taken for medical treatment to Calvert Memorial and then to the University of Maryland hospital in Baltimore where he eventually succumbed to his injuries. When deputies found Mackall prone in the driveway of the home on Sixes Road he was suffering from numerous head wounds and was bleeding profusely. Dalrymple was sentenced to life in prison last month but that sentence was also suspended to 15 years of incarceration. guyleonard@countytimes.net

Trooper Likely At Fault In Collision

By Guy Leonard Staff Writer The acting commander of the Prince Frederick barrack of the Maryland State Police said that a trooper involved in a Sunday morning vehicle collision was likely at fault in the incident and could face disciplinary action. According to a statement from the barrack Trooper Jordan Jones was driving on Ponds Wood Road in Huntingtown and failed to stop at the intersection with Bayside Road, hitting a southbound passenger vehicle and pushing it into a utility pole on the opposite side of the road. Both Jones and the occupant of the pas-

senger vehicle were injured but received treatment at a nearby hospital and were released. Det. Sgt. Rosemary King, currently in charge at the barrack, said Jones will likely be the subject of a continuing investigation. “He’s on sick leave,” King told The County Times. “Preliminarily we’re saying the tropper went through the stop sign.” King said a detailed crash report is pending but it appears that the crash was preventable. “If we deem the crash was preventable there are usually disciplinary actions,” King said, adding, however, that those actions would not be made known to the general public. guyleonard@countytimes.net

She was incarcerated at the Calvert County Detention Center.

Trooper Involved Crash: On Dec. 13 at approximately 8:57 a.m., Trooper Jordan Jones was traveling on Ponds Wood Road and failed to stop at the intersection of Ponds Wood Road and Bayside Road, Huntingtown, Md. Tpr. Jones’ vehicle struck the passenger side of a vehicle traveling southbound on Bayside Road and then subsequently pushed that vehicle into a utility pole on the northbound side of Bayside Road. All involved parties were transported for non-life threatening injuries and were later released.

Possession With Intent to Distribute: On Dec. 10 at 3:20 p.m., Trooper First Class Barlow stopped a vehicle on Rt. 4 near the Thomas Johnson Bridge in Solomons for traffic violations. The occupants of the vehicle displayed several criminal indicators and a K-9 scan was requested. The K-9 scan was positive and a probable cause search revealed CDS and paraphernalia. Jordan R.

Message from Sheriff Mike Evans About The Holiday Season The holiday season is a perfect opportunity to spend quality time with family and friends. To ensure a safe and joyous holiday celebration, I ask that you keep safety at the forefront of all your activities. I would also like to take this time to remind you of a few key messages. Please remember while out shopping to be mindful of the possible road conditions, as well as the the increased vehicle and pedestrian traffic. When you have parcels and other valuables in your vehicle, remember to keep these items out of view and your vehicle locked. Also, do not leave your wallet, purse, or spare keys in your vehicle. When traveling and away from home during the holiday season, ask someone you trust to check on your property. Your property should be well lit and secured while you are away. Ask the Post Office to hold your mail until you return home, or

have someone pick it up daily. Please do not post any messages on Facebook or other social media sites indicating that you and your family will be away during this time. If hosting or attending any holiday activities, we ask that you not drink and drive. Be prepared with a designated driver. Please be responsible during this holiday season. Do not put the lives of yourself, your passengers, and others at risk. Call 911 if you suspect impaired driving, notice anything suspicious in your neighborhood, shopping centers, or elsewhere. Scammers are especially active during this time of year. You may access the FBI website, https://www.f bi.gov/scamssafety/e-scams in order to be prepared and aware of those scams. The Calvert County Sheriff's Office wishes you the very best during this holiday season, and a safe and happy New Year!

Commissioner’s Corner Fire-Rescue-EMS Most people know that Calvert County has an all-volunteer Fire-Rescue-EMS service; and is the only county in the state that has such. We are very grateful that so many volunteer to provide this vital service. The Volunteers are supported by county staff within Public Safety. They administer a Child-Care Program for the volunteers assisting with child care expenses while the volunteer is staffing emergency equipment of attending approved training. The Recruitment and Retention Specialist oversees this program to ensure appropriate child care payments. To further support the volunteers, county employees may require specialized training over and above the normal training provided by the county. Testing of potential applicants for the Calvert Control Center (911,) assists in determining if a candidate has the skills to perform the job. The county administers a Tuition Assistance Program for Volunteers by developing policies and procedures to assist qualified fire-rescue-EMS volunteers with education expenses. The Recruitment and Retention Specialist also ensures the volunteers’ applications are reviewed; and follows up when the course is completed successfully meeting all the program requirements ensuring payment will be approved through our internal payment process. The county staff also assists budget development to support our volunteer Fire-Rescue-EMS coordinating with the Fire and Rescue Commission. Each department is required to meet with the Fire and Rescue Commission and Fire-Rescue Coordinator to discuss and justify their requests. Once all departments are completed the Fire and Rescue Commission approves the final budget package, the Fire-Rescue-EMS Coordinator will take the final budget that is approved and convert to the format required for submission to Finance and Budget. The final budgets are entered into the budget software and submitted to Finance and Budget. Staff attends and provides liaison for the Chief’s Council, County and Regional Emergency Medical Services Advisory Council, Fire and Rescue Association Meetings, Fire and Rescue Commission, Maryland Institute for Emergency Medical Service Systems (MIEMSS) Jurisdictional Advisory Council, Child Fatality Review. Representatives from Fire-Rescue-EMS to include the Fire-Rescue-EMS Coordinator and Assistant Coordinator, Recruitment and Retention Specialist, Emergency Medical Services Specialist, Office Specialist II, Emergency Management Specialist and Assistant Communications Chief, Communications Supervisor and Director of Public Safety attend monthly and special meetings as necessary and serve as subject matter experts, staff support to include preparation of agendas, meeting minutes, correspondence and general liaison. You can see, that even with an all-volunteer FireRescue-EMS in our county, governmental staff is still needed. Board of County Commissioners Vice President Evan K.

member for more than 16 years, most recently as Director of Communications. She touched many young lives with the Gospel of Christ and shared her testimony through her Christian life. She was also active in the Women’s Ministry at Bay Area Community Church in Annapolis, Md.   Two organizations were dear to April’s heart: Camp Wabanna and Morning Star Foundation. Children, including orphans in China, were her focus. Her interests kept her busy. She loved working with kids at camp, pulling them through the river on the banana boats, challenging them on the confidence course, encouraging them to come to Christ and compelling them to serve Him. Photography, the beach, being outdoors, travel, hiking, TV binge watching, and getting together with family and friends were all activities she enjoyed. This past spring she was able to fulfill a life-long dream of going to China to visit her friend at Morning Star Project. The Foundation exists to help abandoned and needy children with complex heart defects. She especially bonded with little Molly. April will be truly missed by all who knew her.  In lieu of flowers, please send donations to: Camp Wabanna: www.campwabanna.org/give/ and The Morning Star Foundation (please specify that funds go to the China Project.)

Activists Want Answers Gas Plant Debate Continues By Crista Dockray Staff Writer

Dominion Cove Point, a liquefied natural gas facility, has been a concern to the citizens of Calvert County since its inception. Citizens from the county, and even some from out of state, worry of the health hazards, the environmental effects, as well as the safety hazards to those near the plant. The request of Quantitative Risk Assessment from Dominion Cove Point has been a point of tension between the county and the company. Members of the community and organizations have requested the QRA from Cove Point LNG, but their demands have not been met. A QRA measures the likelihood of hazardous events and the consequences it would have on the surrounding community. According to Donny Williams, a resident of Lusby and the organizer of We Are Cove Point, their concerns include the risks of an explosion and incarceration within an eighth of a mile, illnesses from the 20 tons of pollutants going into the air, and trapping around 1,000 people on the Cove Point Peninsula if a disaster does occur because of poor evacuation planning. The QRA that We Are Cove Point and many others have requested would help answer the questions or confirm the risks they believe to be true. Karl Neddenien, the Media and Community Relations Manager at Cove Point LNG, says, “We think the worst thing that can happen is that the tank breaks open, all the LNG spills out into a dike, so it doesn’t just run down into the ground, and it catches fire…if that were to take place, which is extremely unlikely, the effects stay on the site.” According to the Vice President of LNG Operations Mike Frederick, this information comes from a study done through FERC or the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. “What FERC does is say, assume all of the detection fails, assume all of the computers shut down, assume the worst case scenario your testing happens and you have ignition, does the result of the event remain on your site? In fact, FERC doesn’t require it to remain on your site, but we designed it to remain on our site. So what FERC does and PHMSA (Pipeline and hazardous materials safety administration) checks…is more conservative than a QRA,” said Frederick. From this, Dominion Cove Point believes

that the QRA does not need to be done. Unfortunately, after the events of 9/11, the public cannot view the safety assessment and the proof of the worst-case scenario being kept on site. “FERC requires us to file some information as CEII, which is Critical Energy Infrastructure Information. The idea is if we had everything public and open to all of the bad guys, then they’ll know exactly what to do to cause problems,” said Frederick. Williams believes regardless about what studies have been done and what they prove, they were completed almost 10 years ago and the risks from 10 years ago do not match the risks that could occur today. “They don’t want to do a QRA, I believe, because if they did a QRA they would see that this should never exist in a residential area,” Williams said. “They don’t want to do anything that would risk them completing their project.” In terms of the risk of explosions, Williams said that accidents happen, even when nobody has done anything wrong. He says you can see this through the many explosions that have happened at LNG facilities around the world. Frederick says that although he cannot say an explosion is impossible, it is extremely unlikely. “We have hundreds of gas detectors in the plant, so if you have a leak anywhere, it detects it. Depending on where it is, it takes different actions, including automatically shutting the system down. We have redundant controls systems everywhere in the plant, so if one computer system fails, there is another backing it up,” Frederick said. “My office is in the corner of the building, do you know anybody that would have a greater impetus to make sure this place is safe more than me?” said Frederick. As far as the pollutants in the air, Dominion Cove Point works within the EPA standards and according to Frederick and they follow 55 permits they needed before they could start construction. “Safety really is our top priority, even though all companies say it’s their top priority,” said Frederick. “All we want to do is keeping living our lives that we have been living,” said Williams, speaking of the past before the plant. “People just want their lives back.” crista@countytimes.net Photos By Crista Dockray

Education

CCPS Employees to Receive Health Insurance Premium Holiday and Stipend Calvert County Public Schools (CCPS) recently received a $2.8 million retrospective settlement for FY2015 from the school system’s health insurance provider, CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield. The Board of Education has agreed to return all of the money to employees in two ways. Approximately 25 percent will be disbursed through an employee and retiree health insurance premium holiday. For the two pay dates in December, no deductions will be taken for health insurance premiums for active employees

who are covered members through the CCPS health insurance program. Similarly, those who retired from CCPS and are covered members through the CCPS health insurance program will not be required to pay health insurance premiums for January 2016. Approximately 75 percent will be used to provide a one-time payment to active employees, with the exception of miscellaneous employees (i.e. substitutes, extra-pay, extra-duty employees, etc.) and selected grant-funded employees. Full-time active employees will receive

CHESPAX Partners with Calvert County Mosquito Control Program The CHESPAX program of Calvert County Public Schools and the Calvert County Mosquito Control Program are partnering to educate middle school students about the ecology of mosquitoes and their impact on humans and wildlife. Through a grant from the Chesapeake Bay Trust, a curriculum will be developed using the Next Generation Science Standards and the Maryland Environmental Literacy Standards as a framework for unit design. Students will investigate the life cycle of the mosquito, its role in aquatic and terrestrial food chains, as well as its impact as a vector of various diseases.

The media is invited to attend the training program for teachers on Dec. 17 at the CHESPAX office located in King’s Landing Park. The address is: 3255 Kings Landing Rd. Huntingtown, Md. 20639. The training will take place from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The optimum time to speak with CHESPAX and Mosquito Control staff will be 11:30 a.m. For more information, please contact Tom Harten at hartent@calvertcounty.education.

$1,000, and part-time active employees will receive $500. These payments will be disbursed Jan. 29, 2016. Dr. Daniel Curry, Superintendent, said, “The Board is pleased to be able to offer this stipend as a token of their appreciation for all of our hardworking employees.” The health insurance benefits provided by CCPS are self-insured, meaning they are funded by the employees and retirees who are covered members and the school system. As such, CCPS is responsible for all covered health insur-

ance expenses incurred by its employees and retirees and their dependents. Because CCPS uses a self-insurance system, the claims that are paid may equal, exceed, or fall short of what is actually paid in premiums. This atypical settlement was the result of our claims expense for FY2015 being substantially lower than the actuarial premium estimates generated by CareFirst. Press Release

Special Olympics Maryland Fall Sports Festival

Two St. Mary’s County Special Olympics adult teams competing in flag football participated in the annual Special Olympics Maryland Fall Festival at Mount St. Mary’s University in Emmitsburg, Maryland on October 24. The event showcased 300 athletes from across the state competing in various fall sports, including cycling, flag football, long distance running, power lifting and tennis. A traditional team of seven athletes (Anthony Cyrus, Avery Long, Sam Huffman, Thomas Smith, Rodta Maddox, Larry Mills and Josh Daye) was coached by Don Bewick..The unified team, coached by Lloyd Grayson, consisted of six Special Olympics athletes (Brandon Chan, Durelle Scott, Dreshawn Chestnut, Corey Woodland, Shaun Ridley and new athlete Montgomery Sams) and unified partners Marc Rinaldo, Adam Chesser and Will Ridley.

The first game was the traditional team vs the Frederick team. Despite strong play by Avery Long and Rodta Maddox, St. Mary’s fell 0-6. The second game pitted the two St. Mary’s teams against each other. Sam Huffman, Shaun Ridley, Marc Rinaldo and Avery Long scored touchdowns. The traditional team won the contest, although new Special Olympics athlete Dreshawn Chestnut stepped up and played well as quarterback for the unified team. The last game matched St. Mary’s and Frederick counties in a contest of unified squads. Corey Woodland managed to tie the game with a touchdown reception, but in the end Frederick County won.

December is Designated Driver Month “How will you get home after your holiday party?”

The holiday season between Thanksgiving and New Year’s is one of the deadliest and most dangerous times of the year due to an increase in impaired driving. For a safer holiday season, here are a few simple reminders: 

  

 

Plan ahead: Whenever you plan to consume alcohol, designate your sober driver before going out and give that person your keys. If you’re impaired, have someone call a taxi or a sober friend or family member to get you home safely. Promptly report drunk drivers by calling 9-1-1. If you know someone who is about to drive impaired or ride with an impaired driver, take their keys and help them make other arrangements to get to where they need to go safely. Do not make alcohol the focus of your holiday parties. If you are hosting a party, make sure your guests have a Designated Driver.
