Charity Director Appeals Stop Order By Guy Leonard Staff Writer The cease and desist order that shut down the Southern Maryland Veterans Association last month is still in affect after the organization’s director appealed the decision of the Maryland Secretary of State last week. Daniel Timothy Brashear wanted to have the cease and desist order lifted, state officials said, but the hearing officer in the matter, the assistant secretary of state, did not make a determination. The hearing took place over two days, March 9 and March 10, state officials said and the record remained open for 10 days following the hearing. The charity was still barred from accepting or solicitating donations, state officials said. “The cease and desist order is still in affect,” a state official told The County Times. “There’s no decision that’s been made. It’s still an ongoing matter.” Officials said there would likely be several more weeks before the hearing officer made a decision on whether to lift the cease and desist order. According to a press release from Maryland Attorney General Brian Frosh both Brashear, the charity’s founder, and Norman Randolph McDonald, who up until recently was in charge of collections, were named in the cease and desist order.
Brashear has charged McDonald with embezzling money from the charity. The shut down of the charity was in response to multiple complaints, according to state authorities, and an investigation alleged that the organization was not assisting the housing needs of veterans as was claimed in marketing materials. Brashear said that at the hearing the state brought out complaints against his organization that were anonymous and even said that state officials had presumed his guilt in public statements they had made about his organization. He said he did not believe that he had been treated fairly and that the state would likely keep the cease and desist order in place. “I think they’re going to run it under the status quo,” Brashear said. He also claimed that he sent the state the list of veterans he had housed at their shelter but the state was not satisfied because he did send copies of their discharge papers to prove their service. He said he would not release them because he wanted to protect veterans’ privacy, particularly regarding their medical information. He also said accusations that they had housed pedophiles was false, they had housed one sex offender, Brashear said, but that person was a veteran and had been involved with an adult. guyleonard@countytimes.net
Calvert Memorial Hospital Presents New Patient Tower
By Crista Dockray Staff Writer A 43,500 square foot, three-story expansion will be added near Calvert Memorial Hospital’s existing main entrance. Plans for the hospital were presented to the County Commissioners Tuesday at their general meeting. According to a representative from Calvert Memorial, the project has been in the works for approximately two years. According to the presentation, there will be an additional 10,300 square feet of renovations and 16,500 square feet of light renovations. This will total 70,300 square foot of renovations. The light renovations will be the redesign of current rooms to change them over from semi-private to fully private. Representatives said they want the feel of the hospital to stay coherent with the rest of the new construction. The heavy renovations will include 40 new private patient rooms, 20 on both the second and third floor, and outpatient services expansion and med staff/admin reconstruction on the first floor. The number of rooms will increase

Fueston currently serves as the associate deputy director for Intelligence and Information Sharing at the Washington/ Baltimore Area High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA,) a federal grant program administered by the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy. “Glenn’s proven leadership and experience in collaborating with federal, state, and local partners to address drug trafficking will be a strong asset to our administration, particularly as we fight the heroin epidemic,” said

Commissioner’s Corner Armory Square
and Traffic
Governor Larry Hogan, recently announced the State Highway Administration (SHA) project that widens the MD 2/4 road in Prince Frederick from FoxRun Boulevard to Commerce Lane. That project supports the plans Calvert County has to enhance economic development under a project called Armory Square. Traffic studies are related to Armory Square and included studying Intersections from MD 2/4 at Fox Run to MD 402 (Dares Beach Road) and along Dares Beach Road through Armory Road to Fairground Road. The following are excerpts from a Traffic Analysis Impact Study: A traffic analysis impact study indicated that with the completion of the SHA project, there will be three northbound through lanes and a total of 561 vehicles per lane in the future traffic conditions. This is a 25% decrease in the amount of traffic per through lane, even with traffic growth and full build-out of Armory Square, which results in greater throughput along MD 2/4. There will be three southbound through lanes and a total of 696 vehicles per lane in the future traffic conditions. This is a 19% decrease in the amount of traffic per through lane, even with traffic growth and full buildout of Armory Square, which results in greater throughput along MD 2/4. Southbound traffic on MD 2/4 trying to get onto Dares Beach Road currently only has two opportunities. There is a single left turn lane at Steeple Chase and there is a single left turn lane at Dares Beach Road. Based on the
existing volumes, it appears that many motorists currently use Steeple Chase Drive to avoid the MD 2/4 & MD 402 intersection. The SHA project will result in a double left turn from southbound MD 2/4 at Dares Beach Road. Furthermore, the extension of Fox Run Blvd to Fairground Road provides an additional route for motorists to use to get to Dares Beach Road without having to go through the intersection of MD 2/4 at MD 402. Additionally, the new access road and traffic signal to the south of Steeple Chase Drive will provide an additional double left turn lane. This would result in three double left turn lanes on southbound MD 2/4 that will connect to Dares Beach Road, as compared to the existing two single left turn lanes that motorists can use to get to Dares Beach Road. The results of the Traffic Analysis Impact Study indicate that all intersections will operate at acceptable conditions in the future traffic conditions with the construction of the MD 2/4 widening project by the SHA, and with the additional improvements as proposed by Armory Square. The efforts to actually make Amory Square a reality continues to be another set of twists and turns along a bumpy highway; but that is a story for another time. Evan K.

Some Commissioners May Oppose Calvert Shores
Feature Story Obituaries
11
By Crista Dockray Staff Writer Calvert Shores, the proposed municipality of the Chesapeake Ranch Estates, may face some opposition from the Calvert County Board of County Commissioners. Opposition from the Board of County Commissioners could cause Calvert Shores not to go to referendum, meaning the residents of Chesapeake Ranch Estates would not be able to vote on the matter come November 2016. The issue with the proposed municipality seems to lie with its boundaries. The boundaries of Calvert Shores will include the entire community of the Chesapeake Ranch Estates extending to Solomons Island Road and Cove Point Road. With these boundaries, the Lusby Town Center and the Patuxent Business Park are included. According to County Commissioner Mike Hart, to be a part of the municipality will mean an increase in taxes for businesses and possibly the residents. Hart is against this. Hart owns a business in the Lusby Town Center. “I will oppose it [Calvert Shores] if it includes the businesses and if it increases the money the Chesapeake Ranch Estates residents would have to pay,” he said. County Commissioner Pat Nutter told the Calvert County Times that he is “not crazy about that at all,” in regards to Patuxent Business Park’s placement within Calvert Shores and that he has heard a general opposition to the municipality from business owners. The owner of Ledo Pizza in Lusby, Jeff Bagaruf, said he opposes Calvert Shores. “I think that Maryland in general does not make it easy for small businesses,” he said. “Every year it seems like a new tax comes up and this will be another one…I’m definitely not for it.” Bagaruf says he does not feel it is his responsibility to pay for the problems that Chesapeake Ranch Estates is facing. According to John Norris, the county’s attorney, the only people that are allowed to vote in the possible upcoming ballot are residents that live within the boundaries that are also registered voters. This means that if a business owner has a business within the boundaries but lives outside of them, he or she cannot vote on the matter and will be subjected to the laws of the municipality. This would include Bagaruf who lives in Huntingtown. “My first reaction is that it seems a little unfair,” said Bagaruf. Cathy Zumbrun, one of the key residents behind the Calvert Shores movement, assured the Calvert County Times that she has reached out to the businesses but has received hardly any response. Zumbrun said they had invited businesses to attend the Feb. 3 public meeting but no businesses attended, they had done petitions within the commercial district and received few signatures from businesses, and they have welcomed the businesses to submit written comments, but received none. “We are assuming their silence is consent,” said Zumbrun. Zumbrun said that the main reason they wanted to change to a municipality was simple. “Money is the primary reason,” she told The Calvert County Times. “We started as a summer community and now we’re a suburb of [Patuxent River Naval Air Station] and sub-
urbs want amenities.” Those amenities include much-improved infrastructure that the community has long sought but not always paid for consistently. Zumbrun said Chesapeake Ranch Estates has long had a problem collecting all of the road and maintenance and operations fees; being a municipality with the power to tax could actually result in a reduction in those fees, she said. But that depends on an internal community ballot coming this summer where residents will have a chance to vote to agree to hand over responsibility from the home owners association to the municipality. Zumbrun said the tax increases on properties could amount to an extra $60 a year or five cents per every $100 of assessed value. That could mean the elimination of $400 in homeowners’ fees, she said. Moreover, she said, for decades community residents had been paying out taxes for local roads but not getting it back because of the private nature of the neighborhood but by becoming a municipality that would change. “We want taxes they’re already paying to start coming back to us,” Zumbrun said. Commissioner President Evan Slaughenhoupt said he wants the residents to have a chance to decide for themselves. “I have always been in the mindset that locals have the greater say in the matter, I don’t like the idea of an outside force dictating the will on others,” Slaughenhoupt said. However, Slaughenhoupt said that he will be looking closely at the report to make sure all possible issues and outcomes have been thought through. “I really, really hope that everyone down there who is supportive of incorporating the area into a town has their eyes open to all the implications,” said Slaughenhoupt. “I personally think that the individuals that live there, life will get more expensive for them,” he added. County Commissioners now have 45 days as of Tuesday, when The Calvert Shores Municipality Organizing Committee turned in their report, to respond with questions and concerns. After the Calvert Shores committee turns in their financial impact report within 90 days, the County Commissioners will vote whether or not to send the proposal to referendum. According to the Norris, this will happen around the end of the summer. Guy Leonard, Staff Writer, contributed to this report. crista@countytimes.net

She is establishing herself as a rising author. We look for-
ward to her future published works.” Jessica’s essay, titled, “To Inspire Peace,” was chosen as the winner from among hundreds of entries.

The lectures are held at the Maryland Archaeological Conservation Laboratory (MAC Lab) at 7 p.m. The lectures are free and open to the public. The speaker series kicks-off on April 14th with a lecture from Becca Piexotto entitled “Needed: Skilled-Caver Archaeologist.” Peixotto, Ph.D candidate and adjunct instructor in the Department of Anthropology at American University, was one of a six women team that recently excavated 15 partial skeletons of a new species of human relative named “Homo naledi.” The excavation was heralded across the world and is expected to change the way scientists think about human origins. Peixotto is also co-author of a paper on the findings, published in the journal eLife. Other lectures scheduled include on May 5: “Tidal Wave: The Mallows Bay Story,” Donald G. Shomette, Marine Archeologist; June 23: “Exploring the Legacy of African Muslims in 19th century D.C.,” Mia L. Carey, University of Florida Department of Anthropology Ph.D. student and National Science Foundation

Calvert Library Presents The Work Of Five Local Artists This March
For March 2016, Calvert Library presents the work of five local artists exhibiting photography, watercolors, acrylics, and mixed media at three of our locations. Calvert Library Twin Beaches Branch features photographer Faye Kepner’s show entitled “Raising the Barre,” depicting dancer Ana Collins. Faye started her photography career about five years ago; her work focuses on portraits of babies, children, families, seniors, and dancers. Faye found inspiration from her own father’s wedding photography business. Meet Faye Kepner, March 16, from 7 to 8 p.m. at Twin Beaches. Faye’s work is showing March 1 to 31. To learn more the artist and her work, visit www.momentsbyfayephotography.com. Artist Joshua Owen’s show at Calvert Library Prince Frederick runs through March 31. His show, “The Humble Setting,” features abstract acrylics on canvas. Joshua has loved painting since first being introduced to the work of Jackson Pollock. “…painting is so exciting that once I get started painting I often paint until I am out of canvas!” says Joshua, who has had both gallery and solo shows throughout Southern Maryland and in Los Angeles. Meet Joshua Owen, Saturday, March 26, 1-2 p.m. at Prince Freder-
ick. To learn more about Joshua and his work, go to www.josh.artpickle.com. At Calvert Library Southern Branch in Solomons, artists Karen Zuza and Peggy Hovermale present a group show of watercolors and mixed media. Their show at the Southern Branch runs through March 31. Karen Zuza painted her first watercolor, “Three Pears, Of Course” in 2005. With gratitude to her teacher, Mary Blumberg, Karen continues painting with watercolors which amaze her with their jewel-like luminous qualities. This is Karen’s first public exhibit. To see more of Karen’s work, go to www.zuzapaints. com. Peggy Hovermale began painting in 2009 when artist Nancy Carver Thompson held an art demo for a group of friends. After painting her first seascape, Peggy was hooked! Abstracts with acrylics followed: “I love the freedom and flow of using that medium…Painting has become my passion!” Peggy has served as President of the Calvert Artists’ Guild, and exhibited at Annmarie Gardens, Asbury, and Artworks@7th. To learn more about the artist and her work, email Peggy at pjhovermale1@yahoo.com. Press Release
