Counterterrorism Is Serious Business Fighting terrorism in the 21st century will require sophisticated and multifaceted approaches. Compare the pandering and simplistic solutions being offered by the leading Republican candidates for president to those of the current administration and the Democratic candidates. Even worse, pandering plays into the hands of those promoting terrorism, such as ISIS, by improving their ability to recruit. (Mar 2016)

Calvert County Takes Steps to Help Residents Lower Flood Insurance Premiums Residents of Calvert County who live in the 100-year floodplains are reminded that they may qualify for a 10 percent reduction in their flood insurance premiums thanks to mitigation efforts made by the Calvert County Department of Community Planning & Building. This news came after the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) recognized Calvert County in August of 2015 for exceeding floodplain management measures encouraged by the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP.) The reduction in residents’ floodplain insurance premiums applies to new or renewed policies in effect on and after May 1, 2015. FEMA oversees the NFIP, which administers a program called the Community Rating System (CRS). The CRS is a voluntary incentive program that recognizes and encourages community floodplain management activities that exceed minimum NFIP requirements. Calvert County is within an elite group of 13 Maryland communities to receive this recognition. With the continued steps taken by the county to protect its citizens and increase its resiliency, it has entered the CRS program as a Class 8 participant. The Class 8 rating qualifies eligible NFIP policy holders for an average of $138 in savings annually. In total, the upgrade in ratings

accounts for a savings of more than $37,000 annually for Calvert County citizens. Under the CRS, local officials are asked to meet three goals: (1) reduce flood losses; (2) facilitate accurate insurance rating; and (3) promote the awareness of flood insurance. Communities can earn a CRS rating by submitting an application explaining the projects they have in place or in development. For each “class” that a community moves up to, it provides its residents with an additional five percent reduction in their flood insurance premiums up to the 45 percent reduction that a Class 1 community receives. As a Class 8 community, Calvert County enables its residents to receive a 10 percent reduction on eligible flood insurance premiums. For information about flood insurance, property owners should contact their insurance agent, visit floodsmart.gov or call the NFIP's toll-free information line at 800427-4661. To learn if you live in a designated floodplain, visit www.co.cal.md.us/floodmap. Learn more about the CRS by visiting www.co.cal.md.us/CRS or floodsmart.gov/ f loodsmart/pages/crs/community_rating_ system.jsp. Press Release

Cold water enters the heater & the flow sensor detects the water flow.

The computer automatically ignites the burner.
Water circulates through the heat exchanger. The burner heats the water to the designated temperature.

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.

Calvert County Department of Public Safety Urges Residents to Be Prepared
With spring in full swing, the region can experience extreme weather that can include high winds, heavy rains, lightning, hail and the formation of tornadoes. The Calvert County Department of Public Safety’s Division of Emergency Management encourages all residents to be prepared. This week is also Maryland Severe Storms Awareness Week and Calvert County is teaming with the Maryland Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) and the National Weather Service to promote citizen awareness and preparedness. Residents can “be weather prepared” by ensuring they understand weather conditions, have a plan and practice safety tips. Often associated with severe thunderstorms, tornadoes can produce wind speeds greater than 250 miles per hour, can be one mile wide and can stay on the ground for up to 50 miles. They are most likely to occur between 3 p.m. and 9 p.m. but can occur at any time of the day. Residents are urged to follow these tips on preparing for severe weather and taking action if a tornado develops. Before the Storm ·Develop a plan for you and your family for home, work, school, when outdoors and especially when boating. ·Purchase a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) weather radio with battery backup to receive weather warnings. ·Listen to radio and television for information. ·If taking a trip outdoors, listen to the latest forecasts and plan accordingly if threatening weather is possible. ·Be familiar with the various types of watches and warnings issued for severe weather. -Severe thunderstorm watch: Severe thunderstorms are possible in your area. -Severe

Send a resume to sales@somdpublishing.net and let’s discuss the possibilities.
-Tornado watch: Conditions are favorable for a tornado to form. -Tornado warning: A tornado has been sighted or indicated by weather radar. If a Tornado Warning is Issued · Take shelter immediately. If an underground shelter is not available, move to an interior room or hallway on the lowest floor and get under a sturdy piece of furniture. Stay away from windows. ·Abandon mobile homes; they offer little protection, even if tied down.

POOL MAINTENANCE:
·Get out of automobiles. Do not try to outrun a tornado in your car; instead, leave it immediately and lay in a ditch or depression or seek sturdy shelter. ·If you are caught outside with no shelter, lie flat in a nearby ditch or depression and cover your head with your hands. Do not get under an overpass or bridge.

CSM Presents Classical Pianist David Kane, April 3 The College of Southern Maryland continues the 2015-16 Ward Virts Concert Series with a performance by classical pianist David Kane beginning at 3 p.m., April 3. Kane’s performance is the fifth of six in the series, all of which are held at the Prince Frederick Campus, 115 J.W. Williams Road, Prince Frederick in the Multipurpose Room of Building B. Born in 1955 in Glasgow, Scotland, Kane began playing piano and composing music at 8 years old. Kane has performed with notable jazz artists such as Woody Shaw, Dizzy Gillespie, Steve Kujala and Dave Liebman. He has also performed with classical orchestras and musicians such as the Baltimore Sym-
phony Orchestra, the National Symphony Orchestra, the Twentieth Century Consort, the Kennedy Center Orchestra, Joshua Bell, Charlotte Church and Kathleen Battle. Kane is well-versed in the art of composition, having composed over 250 scores for the National Symphony Orchestra Education Office, the Kennedy Center, the Strathmore Center for the Arts, National Geographic Television and PBS.

Commissioner’s Corner
Proposed Budget I tend to write much about budgets, but with all honesty and humility, I’m no financial genius; and never claim to be one. The reason I dwell so much upon the budget is its significance in my role as a Calvert County Commissioner. My earlier years as a commissioner gave me concern as so little detail about the budget was actually addressed by the Board of County Commissioners; each were left up to exploring details individually. This also led to less transparency for our citizens. For this past year, things were different. Our staff identified their nearly 500 Services and Functions as well as the associated costs. Those details were presented to our board on camera so that our citizens could be more informed about what they were getting for their tax dollars. Many ‘work sessions’ were conducted by each department. Those department directors then made a recommended set of relative priorities for the county administrator to review. She then made an overall recommended listing to the commissioners. Each commissioner provided their priority views for consolidation into one overall set of relative priorities. The above process was separate, though related to the ongoing budget build for Fiscal Year-17 (which begins implementation this July 1.) Recently, the staff submitted to the commissioners their recommended overall budget for this coming year. We are now in the phase of reconciling that recommendation with our consolidated prioritization for producing the ‘Commissioners’ Budget’ for presentation to the public in May. The General Fund recommended budget for FY-17 totals $246,951,108 and reflects an increase of 3.4%, or $8.1 million, compared to the FY-16 General Fund budget of $238.8 million.
Staff recommends increasing by $2.7 million the Calvert County’s Highway Maintenance Division to fund the road paving program. Our roads have been stressed for years since the state reduced funding from $6 million to $500 thousand per year. Those gasoline taxes our citizens pay that were intended to help with local roads were diverted by the state for other spending. The current Governor is trying to restore funding to where it was originally intended. Over the years, we’ve held spending to a minimum and kept the staff from receiving pay raises due to the poor state of the U.S. economy. While that economy has not yet really improved, there is merit to consider a step increase (i.e., salary increase) for County employees, with a $1.3 million estimated impact. We all know that things do get more expensive even when our incomes do not increase. For the county, pension and insurance expenses are expected to increase by almost $2 million. Some of this increase is due to a low budget estimate in FY-16. As part of managing through the horrible economy, many resources were held for use beyond the normal anticipated replacement cycle. However, vehicles and other equipment eventually need replacing. Capital Outlay increased over the FY-16 budget by approximately $1.6 million to address necessary replacement of vehicles and depreciable equipment (e.g., highway trucks). Over the upcoming weeks, we will see how we navigate the budget build and look forward to reporting the results. Citizen input remains important. Evan K. Slaughenhoupt, Jr. President, Board of County Commissioners (Republican)

Asia McKinley Broome Asia McKinley Broome, 82, better known as “Acey” or “Tater”, was granted his angel wings on March 8, 2016 at 8:10pm at University of Maryland Hospital in Baltimore, MD, surrounded by family. Even during his illness, Asia demonstrated a positive attitude and strong faith in God. Asia was born on February 11, 1934 in Dowell, MD to the late Leonard and Martha Broome. He received his education in the Calvert County Public School system. He met and fell in love with his wife Dorothy Althea Gross; they were married on March 22, 1958. They celebrated 47 years together until she was called home to be with her Father to watch over her family from heaven. As a man of many abilities and strengths, he served in the U.S. Navy for 4 years and then worked at the Naval Yard in Washington, D.C. until his retirement in 1993. He was a man who worked many jobs and always staying busy. He had a special place in his heart for Benny Porter, whom he worked for the last 15 years. Asia was a loving and caring man to whomever he came in contact with. You could always catch him at 7-eleven in the morning for his coffee and donuts or in the evenings on Solomons Island by the water. He enjoyed fishing, playing cards, playing the lottery, watching Family Feud, and definitely can’t forget about wrestling. Asia was preceded in death by his five sisters, Francis, Elsie, Edna, Delores, and Annie; two brothers, Calvin (Tic), and Alexander (Sonny). He leaves to cherish his precious memory his six sons, Jerome (Shelley), Thomas (Leslie), Asia “Mark”, Leonard, Ralph (Rose), Scott (Janice); one daughter; and 18 grandchildren; 30 great-grandchildren; and a special friend Emily Gantt and the Gantt family. He also leaves two God-children: Zelda Gantt and Samantha Taylor; and a special niece Corledia (Sissy) Broome; and a host of other relatives and friends.
Gladys Melvilee Jones Gladys Melvilee Jones, affectionately known to all as Melvilee, was born on October 21, 1939 to the late Clarence Lincoln Hall and Mildred Rawlings Hall in Paris, MD. She departed this life on Sunday, March 6, 2016, at her residence, surrounded by her loving husband and children. Melvilee attended the public schools of Calvert County, MD. Upon completion of school, on July 6, 1957, she married the love of her life, Joseph Edward Jones, Sr. From this union, eleven children were born. Melvilee cared for and cherished the ground her children and grandchildren
walked on. She spoke with each of them daily. There was absolutely nothing she would not do for any of them. In fact, a number of her children’s friends became her children. They respected and loved her as their mother away from home. Melvilee was also a woman that would help anyone she could. As a housewife for the majority of her adult life, she was able to help some of her friends with running errands, attending their doctor’s appointments and visiting stores. She would always lend a helping hand. And just to let you in on a secret, Melvilee loved money. Her children could always get a “piece of money” if they needed it. But, her husband didn’t have much luck, at all. Melvilee was a good cook and always cooked from scratch for her family. You could always count on her making her award winning potato salad and salmon cakes. Her girls could always call her up to get a recipe and suggestions how to prepare certain dishes. She also enjoyed holiday celebrations and weekend family gatherings. Melvilee really enjoyed quality time with her family. Melvilee was a longtime member of St. Edmond’s United Methodist Church. There, she served as an at-large member of the Church Council. She enjoyed good singing, preaching and Wednesday night bible studies, when her health permitted. You could also count on seeing “Sis. Melvilee” stepping through the doors, generally 30 minutes before start of service, sporting a fancy hat and a smile. She had such a quiet, sweet spirit, and truly enjoyed praising God. She may have been a woman of few words, but she had enormous faith. Sis. Melvilee reaffirmed her faith and was baptized at the North Beach pier on July 17, 2011, alongside her husband. Although faced with a number of health ailments, Melvilee was a woman that never complained. Until the day she took her last breath, she reminded us all that she knew the Lord was in control. Regardless of what she was going through, if you inquired as to how she felt, her response was always, “Pretty good, thanks to the Lord.” Her faith never wavered. There was no battle she would not fight. There was no giving up, nor giving in. With her husband and family beside her, Melvilee’s battle was won! Melvilee leaves to cherish her fond memories: Husband: Joseph Jones, Sr.; children: Andrea Crump (Bernard), Diane, Joseph Jr., Dwayne, Cheryl, Tony (Sherlyn), Sterling, Sharvon, Rochelle, LaShawn, and Donte; grandchildren: Stevie Stepney, Barry Moore, Destiny Jones, Orlando Jones, Rhodesia Jones, Michael Waters, Marcus Sims, Janae Barnes, DeVonte Weems, Devin Gantt, Sterling, Jr., Trevon Howard, Tyrell Howard, LaShonda Gantt, great grandchildren: Amya Jones, Aliyah Waters, Amiyah Waters, Orlando, Jr., Stevie Joyner, Demari, Justice and Liam Stepney, sisters: Thelma Hall, Ella Mackall and the late Deborah Hall, brothers: Clarence Hall, Jr. (Lorraine) and Jackie Berry (Lisa); aunts: Dorothy Jones, Beatrice Holland and Laura Kyler; uncle: Otis Holland; special sisters in law: Toreno Wortham and Audrey Jones; long-time best friends: Theresa Booth and Thelma Howard and a host of nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.

Get Ready to ‘Splash for Scholarships’ May 7 CSM Foundation to Host Poolside Celebration
The College of Southern Maryland Foundation is hosting a poolside celebration May 7 at Leonardtown Campus Wellness and Aquatics Center to raise funds for student scholarships. The Second Annual “Splash for Scholarships” event will include music and dancing, seashore-inspired cuisine, poolside games and a silent auction. All proceeds will benefit CSM student scholarships through the CSM Foundation. Sponsorships levels range from $7,500 to $500, and based on the level include named scholarship opportunities, VIP parking and
event tickets. Individual tickets are $50 per person. “We are so excited to host this event for a second year. The community’s response was inspiring allowing us to raise over $70,000 for scholarships last year,” said Foundation Director Nancy Hempstead. “It truly was a ‘Splash for Scholarships’ event and we look forward to working with our community partners again this year to support CSM students through scholarships for both credit and career training programs.” The CSM Foundation, established in 1970,
is a nonprofit, tax-exempt organization that promotes academic excellence, growth, progress and the general welfare of the College of Southern Maryland by raising and managing funds, and providing support to strengthen and develop the college and its objectives. For information on the event and sponsorships, visit http://Foundation.csmd.edu/Splash or contact CSM Development Coordinator Erika Abell at eabell1@csmd.edu or 301-9347647.

College of Southern Maryland Technical Studies professors Joe Burgin, James Graves, Wendy Hume Hayes and John Wilson are helping to guide their students as they explore careers in cybersecurity through participation in the National Security Agency’s NSA Day of Cyber throughout the month of March. With the growing sophistication of hackers, the need for trained cybersecurity professionals is critical to reduce vulnerabilities to America’s networks for commerce, communication and security, according to the National CyberWatch Center, a consortium of higher education institutions, businesses and government agencies. Burgin began teaching computer science at CSM in 1999, the same year that software security vendors released the first anti-hacking products for personal computers. Cybersecurity is among the topics and content Burgin teaches in courses including: Information Age: Emerging Technologies; Program Design and Development; Introduction to Linux; Windows Programming; Windows Programming for the Web; Web Programming; Algorithms and Data Structures; and Capstone Experience. Burgin believes that the greatest challenge students in the near future will face are security and privacy issues. “As citizens and those studying in technical fields, we need to transition from the idea that security is a feature added onto our systems as an afterthought to the requirement that security is a continuous process that is designed, ‘baked into,’ our systems from the start. Ensuring privacy and liberty depends on awareness of the technical as well as ethical issues involved in implementing secure systems,” said Burgin. Burgin encouraged his students to participate in the NSA Day of Cyber, saying “[Through this experience] they have been exposed to cutting edge ideas and issues at the heart of our digital economy and culture.” “[Through the NSA Day of Cyber] I did get a better idea of the scope of the IT fields NSA is interested in hiring,” said Ryan Kramer of Waldorf, one of Burgin’s students who is primarily interested in network/networking security and vulnerability assessment. Graves began at CSM as an adjunct
professor and has been teaching full time since 2013. He teaches Ethical Hacking, Digital Forensics and Networking I and II. “Cyber threats continuously evolve and shape the direction we must embark upon to ensure the three pillars of Information Security, confidentiality, integrity and availability (C.I.A.), remain intact within our networks of tomorrow,” said Graves. “The NSA Day of Cyber provides great insight into our society and how technology is intertwined in our everyday lives. The individual activities allow students to see the ways cybersecurity plays a primary role in protecting technology infrastructure.” Hayes, the college’s cybersecurity program coordinator, came to CSM in 2002 and has taught Computer Security which prepares students for the CompTIA Security+ exam, Ethical Hacking and Penetration Testing, Network and Infrastructure Defense and Information Systems Security Capstone. “I made the NSA Day of Cyber activities available to my students because there is a big misconception about what a cybersecurity professional does,” said Hayes. “The interactive application focused on seven cyber professionals within NSA regarding what skills they needed to do their jobs and what an average day entailed. Along with these professional biographies, the NSA site provided critical thinking games with real-world scenarios. I found the critical thinking challenges to be a fun way to reinforce the need for problemsolving skills.” “NSA Day of Cyber is a great experience for my students because it provides them with an insight into different cybersecurity professions and what it takes to get there,” Hayes said, who added that the NSA has now opened its educational co-op to community college students. Wilson came to CSM in 2000 and teaches Cyber Ethics. “NSA is part of the national intelligence community and I wanted to expose students to the varied work they do,” said Wilson. “Some students might not think of working in the intelligence field but there are many jobs in this area. The work is challenging and those who work in this field can see the results of their work, so there is great job satisfaction.” The activities in the Day of Cyber allow students to learn how they might use skills
they are learning as they work on their degree. Students who participated learned about seven career fields, from cyber threat center director to network operator to vulnerability analyst. Each had a corresponding video explaining the typical day of the role and what they like about their job. “Students were able to try their hand at some cyber challenges decoding messages,” said Wilson. “I now have a much better understanding of the types of jobs available in cybersecurity. More importantly, I have a better idea of some of the actual duties that are

CSM Professors Guide Students As They Research Careers, Explore NSA Day of Cyber performed on the job,” said Amelia Sims of Waldorf, a student in Wilson’s class. “Several of the career paths appealed to me. If I had to choose one, it would be the crypto analyst. Decoding secret messages seems very interesting—I would really enjoy that type of work.” For information on the NSA Day of Cyber program, visit http://nsadayofcyber. com/.

Nearly 700 Cyclists Will Takeover Calvert County Roads With The Mission Of Ending Hunger End Hunger In Calvert County is hosting its 8th Annual End Hunger Bike Ride on Saturday, April 30. That Saturday morning, several hundreds of cyclists from throughout the metropolitan area and as far away as Maine will be mounting up and hitting the roads of Calvert County to support one mission: end hunger in Calvert County. There are four routes designed for cyclists to choose from: 63 miles for seasoned riders, 35 miles and 48 miles for intermediate riders, and 16 miles for beginners. For those who are new to cycling, a New Rider 16 miler route is available that includes a brief orientation for safety and a ride leader who guides the group throughout the ride. All cyclists will start and end at Chesapeake Church in Huntingtown, Md. A Post-
Ride Cookout will take place in Summit Park from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and includes free food provided by Dunkirk Town Center BP, music and community. Rita’s Ice in Dunkirk will also be back with free Italian Ice. New this year is free post ride stretching sessions provided by GROW Yoga in North Beach! For more information and to register, go to endhungercalvert.org/bike. “It’s more than a bike ride. It’s an opportunity for our community to come together embrace the values of #GiveWhereYouLive,” says Jacqueline Miller President of End Hunger In Calvert County. “Now in our eighth year, the cyclists and our partners participate with an understanding that they are directly making a difference in the lives of Calvert County residents. It›s an event they look forward to being part of and come
back year after year.» The four routes were intentionally chosen to display the natural beauty of Calvert County. Riders will travel along the bayfront, marina, farmland and wineries while they enjoy the company of friends who share their same passion for biking. Last year›s event attracted over 684 cyclists and raised nearly $30,000 for its 44 Partner Feeding Organizations. These organizations include food pantries, HeartFELT Backpack Program, and mobile distributions sites. Yet, more than raising money, these cyclists also hope to raise awareness. The number of individuals that End Hunger Partner Feeding Organizations serve has grown from 10,000 to 15,000 individuals a year. All proceeds from the event directly
support the mission of End Hunger In Calvert County. For a list of End Hunger In Calvert County partners and programs visit endhungercalvert.org. End Hunger In Calvert County was recognized by the Better Business Bureau as an Accredited Charity for meeting all 20 Standards of Charitable Accountability. As part of the accreditation process, the Better Business Bureau found that $0.93 of every dollar donated to the organization goes straight into programming. That means that when you support events like the Dragon Boat Festival and give to End Hunger In Calvert County, you can do so with confidence.
The Calvert Green Living event (April 30 from 1 to 4 p.m. at Annmarie Sculpture Garden and Arts Center - 13480 Dowell Road, Dowell, Md.) will feature multiple 30-minute workshops as well as ongoing demonstrations focused on sustainable living and environmental stewardship.
The event, which replaces the Green Expo for 2016, is free and open to the public. Confirmed presentations include: Solar power, energy efficiency, recycling, native plants, wild edibles, butterfly gardening, bio and alternative fuel discussion, invasive insects and plants, rain barrel
workshop, water quality in the Patuxent River, how to “eat local” and beekeeping. Calvert County Public Works is offering a discount on rain barrels. Each 55-gallon rain barrel is priced at $30 instead of the regular $90 for workshop attendees. The easiest way to get your rain barrel is to pre-register online at go.umd.
edu/rainbarrel. (Please note there is a transaction fee if ordered online). Door prize drawings will be held throughout the event. Light fare and wine/beer will be served.

CBL Science for Citizens - Oyster Restoration in Md. Bernie Fowler Lab (142 Williams Street, Solomons) - 7 to 8 p.m. Oyster Restoration in Maryland. Presented by Dr. Kennedy Paynter. Oysters are a “keystone” species in the Chesapeake – they play a key role in the creation of reef habitat and the processing of nutrients and sediment in the water column. Over the last four years, the bulk of oyster restoration resources have been focused into one tributary: Harris Creek. Hundreds of millions of baby oysters, called spat-on-shell, have been produced by the UMCES oyster hatchery in Cambridge, MD, and deployed in Harris Creek covering about 350 acres. The exciting results will be discussed in this seminar.
