Richard J. Cross, III: Of Hogan, Negan, And The Politics Of The Walking Dead Recently I have been thinking about the controversial season finale of a longrunning televised drama. In the show’s final moments, a group of protagonists are confronted by a lethal new nemesis. Self-righteous and buoyed by past wins against morally inferior adversaries, this band of heroes lives behind the walls of a sheltered city. They regard themselves as the only true source of hope for individuals struggling for daily survival in a challenging environment. The nemesis is a charismatic interloper who wields a baseball bat as a symbol of his power. His ability to communicate helped him build his own rival army of followers not beholden to the status quo. Attempts by the protagonists to defeat him using proven methods have failed, leaving them frustrated by, and ultimately subjugated to, his authority. Just to avoid any confusion…no, I am not talking about The Walking Dead. The drama in question here is the conclusion of the 2016 session of the Maryland General Assembly. Like The Walking Dead’s Negan, Governor Hogan has effectively used charisma and shrewd messaging skills to build a diverse coalition of followers. And while Hogan does not often brandish a baseball bat, he does wield the biggest stick a governor can carry: Approval ratings hovering around seventy percent. Like the Alexandrians on the show, the members of Maryland’s Democratic political establishment exist in a bubble community: Annapolis, where insular special interest politics and arcane partisan squabbles unfold apart from the lives of most Marylanders. They have long bested their rivals in the minority party – including the last GOP governor – by employing methods such as media grandstanding, public relations stunts, exploitation of racial and gender politics, contrived veto fights, and bogeyman politics intended to demonize opponents. They are ardent believers in their own principles, and regard others with a different political worldview as being misguided if not deficient. Indeed, the last Democratic governor once dismissed state Republicans as “an aberrant strain of DNA.” In other words, if you do not see the world as they do, and ascribe to their same proposed high-minded and costly solutions, you must necessarily be wrong. Just as the Alexandrians took up arms against Negan, the Maryland Democratic establishment aggressively attacked Hogan during the 90 day legislative session. However, the old wedge politics have not worked, and Hogan is now emerging from the session with approval ratings higher than when it started. Some Maryland Democrats may now be forced to confront two unpleasant truths. First, the current Republican governor may not in fact be the fluke they judged the previous Republican governor to be. Second, the lessons learned from de-
cades of monopoly rule over Maryland politics and institutions may no longer be applicable given modern realities. So, what could Maryland Democrats do to avoid the unpleasant fate of their counterparts on The Walking Dead? First, they can develop and embrace new leaders, both in the ranks and upper hierarchy of the legislature and in local offices across the state. The Democratic establishment typically gravitates towards recycling partisans with a decade or more of elective experience. In other words, when choosing candidates for higher office, the monopoly likes to promote its own. Embracing candidates with real life backgrounds in business or civic activism may put the party in closer touch with its own espoused values. Second, they should embrace opportunities to enhance transparency and further political reforms. By blocking redistricting reform, Maryland Democrats may have extended their hegemony over legislative races, but in the end this may prove to be a short-sighted strategy. Polls show that redistricting reform enjoys strong support among citizens. As the civil rights movement and other insurgent populist initiatives have demonstrated, ultimate credit in politics usually belongs to those who were first to stand up for doing the right thing. Third, Democratic leaders should take a sanguine view as to why their once unassailable monopoly has lost two of the last four gubernatorial campaigns. It was not exclusively because of bad candidates or the whims of the national political climate. Also relevant was an opportunity created by the pervasive belief that patronizing leaders in Annapolis were more interested in imposing their own solutions from above than listening to ordinary Marylanders. Maryland remains a solidly blue state. Given his emphasis on compromise, avoidance of partisan squabbles when possible, and focus on addressing agnostic tax and spending concerns, Governor Hogan seems to understand this reality. His path to reelection likely requires following the same course. As for Maryland’s Alexandrians, circumstances have forced them to leave past glories behind and embrace the kinds of new strategies, solutions, and ideas needed to reinvigorate their moribund majority. Change is never easy, but often necessary, in politics. For many Maryland politicos, failing to embrace change risks a change in status from political survivor to political zombie. Richard J.

Josh Kurtz: Hogan 2, Democrats 0 A few years back I was interviewing a New Mexico political wise guy for an article about what Bill Richardson, the former governor and cabinet secretary, had been doing since he left office. The analyst sought to compare Richardson, a Democrat, with his successor, Republican Gov. Susana Martinez. “The elevator with Richardson went up to the 50th floor, and when he got off and Martinez got on it went back down to about three,” the wise guy told me. I’ve been recalling that observation as I think about Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R) and his predecessor, Democrat Martin O’Malley. O’Malley in eight years presided as Maryland legalized same-sex marriage, outlawed capital punishment, expanded gun control and immigrants’ rights, held the line on college tuition, boosted transportation and infrastructure spending, and adopted cutting-edge clean energy standards, among other initiatives. Hogan, in his time in office, has accomplished far less. And yet, Hogan is emerging from his second General Assembly session, which ended at midnight Monday, with another clear victory. It’s time to wonder whether Democrats are ever going to be able to lay a glove on him. Democrats in the General Assembly shredded a good bit of Hogan’s modest legislative agenda. This annoys the governor, who seems peevish most of the time with the legislature’s mere existence. But in the end, for Hogan and his allies, it hardly matters, because Hogan has held the line on taxes and fees – and managed to cut a few – for the second straight session. Hogan is pretty convinced that if he can continue to say this in two years, his reelection is all but guaranteed. He may be right. It’s not that Democrats don’t have legitimate accomplishments to boast about this session. But few are sexy beyond the borders of State Circle or to anyone who doesn’t pay close attention to legislation. And the Democrats never seemed to be very strategic about offering alternatives to Hogan’s platitudes about small government and fiscal responsibility. It’s almost as if the voters – even many Democrats – are still exhausted after O’Malley’s eight years of activism, and all the special rights and funding extended for the dispossessed and downtrodden, even if they deserved them. Hogan knows it – and is going to exploit that sentiment for as long as he can. Still buy in to the long-held conventional wisdom that Maryland is basically a progressive state? The legislature did pass some progressive legislation – and some commonsense bills – this session. The measure to provide retirement security to private sector workers is an important piece of legislation – which had its genesis back when O’Malley was still governor. It was first proposed by state Sen. Jim Rosapepe (D) and then-Del. Tom Hucker (D), and has been carried in the House by Del. Bill Frick (D) since Hucker left the legislature. In 2013, O’Malley appointed former Lt. Gov. Kathleen Kennedy Townsend (D) to head a commission on retirement security, and its recommendations were expected to become part of Gov. Anthony Brown’s first-year agenda. Except, of course, there never was a Brown administration. This year, Rosapepe found as a legislative partner state Sen. Andrew Serafini (R), a financial planner by trade, and they hammered out the final details of the legislation. It passed unanimously in the Senate, though 45 Republicans opposed it in the House. Among the other significant legislation passed this session: a bill increasing the state’s goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions; a bill to boost clean energy jobs in the state; a bill that strengthens the partnership between the University of Maryland at College Park and the University of Baltimore; a bill that calls for more transparency in the administration’s transportation and infrastructure funding decisions, and a package that increases funding for
Baltimore city in the wake of the Freddie Gray riots. And let’s not forget the legislature’s early override of Hogan’s veto of the bill restoring voting rights to thousands of convicted felons. But Hogan can and will share in the credit for the Baltimore investment bill. Greenhouse gas emissions standards are pretty remote and ephemeral for the average voter. Same with the tweak in the university relationship – which many advocates and lawmakers had hoped would be a full-on merger. The retirement security bill received shockingly little public attention – another reminder of how thin media coverage of Annapolis is generally. And when it came to the disputes between Hogan and legislative Democrats, whether the Democrats were in the right – voting rights, transportation transparency – or in the wrong (by resisting Hogan’s politically motivated redistricting reform measure), Hogan seemed to get the better of them. He took full advantage of his bully pulpit and used social media to fire up his partisans. And the Democrats, despite their seasoned and wily legislative leadership, seemed rudderless. The Democrats need to get their act together. The 2018 election is a lot closer than they think. Twelve years ago, when Republican Bob Ehrlich was in his second year as governor, the Democrats already had two high-profile candidates mobilizing to defeat him in 2006: O’Malley, who was then Baltimore mayor, and Doug Duncan, who was then the Montgomery County executive. Both were in the news all the time, and on the frontlines making policy. Sometimes they were at odds with Ehrlich, other times not. But there was never any doubt about what they were doing – and their every move and pronouncement was watched closely. At this point, we still don’t know exactly who the Democratic candidates for governor in 2018 are going to be. Only Baltimore County Executive Kevin Kamenetz (D) is raising money in a serious way. None of the putative candidates is dedicating every weekend to the rubber chicken circuit or reaching out to party activists in a serious way, the way countless wannabe statewide candidates were doing at this stage of the 2006 cycle. Looking ahead to the 2017 General Assembly session, Democrats have at least two opportunities to make Hogan squirm: By passing a family leave bill and by following the lead of New York and California and passing legislation to raise the state minimum wage to $15 an hour. Hogan, as the selfappointed sole protector of Maryland’s business climate, may well come out against them – but these are high-profile issues that will generate lots of headlines and heat. Yet family leave advocates inside and outside the legislature couldn’t even get a bill out of the state Senate this year. And can progressive Democrats put a coalition together to pass a $15 minimum wage? Then consider this: While 54 Republicans voted against the family leave bill when it passed the House last week, the rhetoric – during floor debate and in its aftermath – wasn’t nearly as vitriolic as expected. It raises the question of whether Hogan himself – who after all, is the walking example of an employee who needed sick leave last year due to a catastrophic illness – might be pondering ways to advance family leave legislation of his own, even if it is a watered-down version. If that happens, then my column a year from now will surely carry the headline, “Hogan 3, Democrats 0.” Josh Kurtz is editor of Environment & Energy Daily on Capitol Hill.

Stolen Property Case #16-20161: On April 8, 2016, Dfc. G. Gott was alerted of a possible stolen vehicle from Anne Arundel County. Deputy G. Gott attempted to conduct a felony traffic stop on the vehicle. The driver, Jahmek I. Wright-Anthony, 18, of Clinton, came to a stop but when he observed additional units assisting, he fled. Mr. Wright-Anthony cut across both south and north bound lanes of MD Rt. 4 and cut through to the access road to H.G. Trueman cutting several citizens off. While attempting to navigate the turn, Mr. Wright-Anthony lost control of the vehicle, went off the road and down an embankment rolling over on its hood and through a wooden fence at the State Park. The driver then fled on foot but then finally complied with the commands. Mr. WrightAnthony was placed under arrest for possessing stolen property over $1,000.00, fleeing and eluding both on foot and in a vehicle from a uniformed police officer and marked patrol vehicle, and driving without a license. Mr. Wright-Anthony was taken to P.G. Shock Trauma with non-life threatening injuries.

Commissioner’s Corner
Where We Are America’s Lost Decade - US economy crashed in 2008; has not recovered, and is reflected locally in the two primary streams of income for Calvert County government, Property and Income Taxes. Decisions made over the years to ‘weather the storm’ all presumed a recovery would occur. The budget remains rather flat. Real growth means our citizens see rising income and increasing property values. Expensive (Capital) projects were postponed (can only occur for so long before an adverse impact). Years of ‘salami-slicing’ county operating budgets reduced by 15% the dollars available to provide required Services and Functions. Soft hiring (extra justification needed to replace someone) became norm; and early out retirements reduced staff size. We absorbed over $6 million/ year in cuts from the state. We have nearly expended finite reserves intended for economic downturns. In recent years, FY-14 included a 1% Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) and the first step increase since 2009. FY-15 included a 0.5% COLA with a step increase granted halfway through the year. FY-16 did not include any salary increases. Neither furloughs nor, layoffs occurred. The lack of pay increases became normal. In short, the county continued providing services to the citizens without passing any burden onto the citizens. The lack of economic growth has our ‘backs against the wall.’ Meanwhile, OPEB (Other Post-Employment Benefits) essentially health insurance costs for the retired county staff, teachers, and librarians is a growing concern. Various actuaries (those who project costs as a profession) advise we should place about $21-25 Million each year towards the projected $300 Million liability (about 11% funded as of June 2015) to ensure sufficient funds for later years. Typical General Fund budget for each year is $240 Million, and we yearly fund only $1 – 2 Million. Expectation for increased
revenue from the anticipated completion of the Dominion liquefied natural gas export facility will increase available funding as early as July 1, 2017; however, pent up expectations throughout the county (such as more money for education, law enforcement, parks and recreations, etc.) could easily consume that expected Dominion revenue. Our Bond Rating agencies also see merit in putting as much of this revenue into ‘non-reoccurring expenses’ (such as OPEB). We have cut all that can be cut; implemented a Service Based Budgeting approach to review and expose every dollar associated with the 500 Services and Functions. Any additional cuts would come from staff lay-offs; and directly impose a decrease in some county Services and Functions. Citizens will see such impact (closing of amenities such as ball fields for example). Minimal tweaking can always occur, but any significant increase in staff, services, or otherwise mandated burdens placed upon the Calvert County government will require additional revenue sources. Calvert County government prided itself for years as one of the relatively lowest tax rate jurisdictions throughout Maryland. Our staff cut, scraped, creatively found alternatives to assist since 2008. We are at a most critical juncture where a continued flattened economy can no longer support the current set of Services and Functions. Only real growth of our citizens’ incomes and improvements of their property values will provide needed revenue. While the Calvert County Commissioners conclude their work on finalizing the budget for FY-17 (effective July 1, 2016), understand the constraints now placed upon this board includes the sobering reality that dialogue for next year (FY-18) may be quite different. Evan K. Slaughenhoupt, Jr. President, Board Of County Commissioners

Passing House Bill 1113 I would like to publicly thank the following Southern Maryland legislators for helping to pass House Bill 1113 which will prevent the sale, trade, auction, barter or offer of dogs and cats on public roadways, parking lots, county fairs, flea markets or any other public right of way: Senate President Miller, Senator Waugh, Delegate Jackson, Delegate O’Donnell, Chairman Middleton, Delegate Jameson, Delegate Proctor, Delegate Wilson, and Delegate Morgan. These legislators understand the connection between unethical breeding and the euthanasia of thousands of innocent animals. I am disappointed that Delegate Mark Fisher of Calvert County and Delegate Deborah Rey of St. Mary’s County did not support this very impor-
tant bill. There are too many dogs and cats dying in our Tri-County Animal Shelter at taxpayer expense. The supply of unwanted animals needs to be reduced. This bill will prevent unscrupulous sellers from earning money by selling companion animals in public places. If signed by Governor Hogan, this bill will become law on June 1, 2016. If you witness dogs and cats being sold in any of the above mentioned locations after June 1, please contact your local animal control department.

loud booming attitude but he was one of a kind. Glen was a fun-loving husband, father, grandpa, brother and uncle who was never afraid to just be himself. He enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren and many friends from riding buddies, to the OC crew to his great SC neighbors. He lived by several life mottos, among them: “Accept the things you cannot change” and to live life “one day at a time”. On the daily, Glen was a hard working master carpenter at George Washington University. He often had a pencil behind his ear and a hammer on his belt. When he wasn’t building he was riding his Harley, tickling his grand kids or building them a tree house, advising his daughter’s how to get the most out of life and “bantering” with the love of his life. He will truly be missed. Glen was born on May 2nd, 1951. He is preceded in death by his parents, Randolph and Alma Butler and his brother, Wayne Butler. He is survived by his loving wife Beth Butler, daughter Lisa Butler, daughter Bonnie Brown and husband James Brown.

One Way In, One Way Out

Commissioners Presented Study for St. Leonard Access Road By Crista Dockray Staff Writer
Calvert Beach and Long Beach have only one way in and one way out of their communities, an intersection at Calvert Beach Road and Long Beach Road. This leaves residents with the risk of not being able to leave their community should an accident happen and it leaves them with only one clogged route out in the event of an emergency. According to documents, the plan to add a second access route has been in the St. Leonard Master Plan since 1995. According to Ray Moravec, the project manager of the consulting team from Wallace Montgomery who is handling the feasibility study for the county, the whole plan to actually create the road erupted in 2013. He said there had been expressed concerns, but it really became apparent there was a need when Hurricane Irene hit the county. With the need in mind, the county decided to hire Wallace Montgomery to do a feasibility study in order to find out where the road could go and how much it would cost. Moravec and P. Rai Sharma, the Director of Public Works, presented the finished study to the Board of County Commissioners at their regularly scheduled meeting on Tuesday. “I believe in my personal opinion that the public needs to know where we stand today, what the report says, and what is the end result of the report, and that is the theme of the presentation today,” said Sharma. County Commissioner Steven Weems was not in attendance, however, as he had recused himself before the presentation began. “I am going to recuse myself today. For full disclosure, I am a resident of Woods Road, which is one of the three options. I am also going to convey that the Woods Farm has been in my family
for over 100 years, so this topic is close to me…” said Weems. Moravec explained that they took the first steps into the project in December 2014 with a workshop. He said the intent of the workshop was to get public input about the existing issues and their ideas to fix them. “We had about 14 different concepts that were given by the public, several overlapped or were in similar locations, so we narrowed it to nine concepts and that was our starting point to move forward with,” said Moravec. He said they looked at everything from the northern to the southern part of the region and looked at both sides of the current road. “This is a challenging area given the constraints. We have a lot of steep slopes, we have the utility corridor coming through, there is a lot of environmental features on top of the residential and socioeconomically features of the area,” said Moravec. He explained that road would be a local road at 35 mph and there was consideration to add bike lanes and sidewalks. They also kept in mind the county criteria and the design guidelines set by the master plan. They took the nine concepts back to the community in June 2015. Sharma said that the final question that was asked at the town meetings was if and when they are going to present the study to the commissioners. “So the answer to those folks was yes, it will be presented to the commissioners sometime in the spring of 2016, so that’s why we are here,” said Sharma. Sharma told the Calvert County Times that the three concepts presented to the county commissioners on Tuesday, concept 2, 3A modified, and 6 modified, were what the department and the consultants believed to be the best three options based on factors like cost, public feedback, and construction. Moravec said that Concept 2 was

there to ask if there was anything they could do on a lower cost standpoint to improve the existing roadway that would solve some of the problems. Their solution was to widen Calvert Beach Road with the intent to provide extra roadway width so if there was an incident, cars could pass. The road would have a four-foot monolithic median and they would widen the road enough that it would be able to carry four lanes of traffic. They would keep it striped for two, however, but in the event of an issue, the emergency service providers could set it up to still have traffic flow. Concept 2 would also have a reconfiguration of the intersection. Moravec explained that there is a lot of fast moving traffic that makes a right onto Long Beach Road so they would design the turn to be more of a 90-degree angle in order to slow people down. Concept 2 would have no significant mitigation, it would cost between $2.5 million and $4.5 million, but would only provide a short term solution. Concept 3A would build a road that would run from the intersection of Calvert Beach Road and Brandywine Road to the intersection of Woods Road and Maryland 765. According to the presentation it, “allows for evacuation traffic to access MD 2-4 further north, giving greater separation from the existing Calvert Beach Road/MD 2-4 intersection.” Moravec said that it impacts some sensitive species areas, that it is the second longest in length of all the studies, and it has an estimated cost of $11.4 million to $18.4 million. This concept does meet the deign criteria and the purpose and need for the study and it does provide a longterm solution. It does not include a sidewalk, however, to try and save cost. The last concept, 6, would be a gravel road that would be used only in emergencies. It would be on the south side and connect Long Beach Drive to St. Leonard Road. It would be the second shortest structure and the second best in terms of cost. It has an estimated $8.5 million to $10.5 million, unpaved and $9 million to $11 million, paved. According to Moravec, this plan does not meet the master plan criteria nor does it fully meet the project purpose, but it does provide a second access route. After listening to the presentation, commissioners decided to give themselves more time to figure out what decision to make. “This is something that has to be done, there is no doubt about that,” said Nutter. “The best option, as recommended by the experts, and the cost is the end result I’m trying to figure out.” Slaughenhoupt agreed and said, “We ought to get the listings of the pros and cons and make a decision.” Sharma said that they would be there whenever the commissioners were ready to decide. crista@countytimes.net

CSM Applies for Grant for Adult GED Program By Crista Dockray Staff Writer The College of Southern Maryland will be applying for a grant that will allow the Adult Basic Education GED Program to be offered at the CSM Prince Frederick campus. According to Dan Mosser, the Vice President for Continuing Education and Workforce Development, CSM applied for the same grant last year and were rewarded their St. Mary’s County Adult Basic Education GED program.
The Calvert County Public Schools originally offered the Adult GED program in Calvert, but decided this year to drop it. A part of the reason, Mosser said, is that a conversation between the public school system and CSM had been going on for a very long time to essentially transfer the program to the college. Mosser said the college has access to federal and state funding that the school system does not, which would help the program thrive. “We believe that it would be a better
fit over here,” said Mosser. According to Mosser, the grant is not guaranteed as anybody else could put in an application. He explained, however, that there are really only two big agencies in the county that would offer this type of program and that is the public schools and the college. “I think it’s a logical conclusion that it’s moving to the college, but it’s not certain,” said Mosser. Should it be rewarded, Mosser said they will be offering GED and ESL courses. They plan to operate the pro-
gram very much the same as the public schools did in order to get the students and staff accustomed to the change. Mosser said they do plan to make it their own down the road. The application will be submitted on April 29 and Mosser said they should hear back with a decision within 30 days. Should the grant be awarded, the program will start this summer, July 2016, Mosser said. crista@countytimes.net
Northern Middle Wins Student Council Award Northern Middle School is the recipient of the prestigious Felix Simon Award for Leadership and Service, an honor presented annually by the Maryland Association of Student Councils (MASC) to the top middle school student government group(s) in the state. The awards ceremony took place at the MASC Convention held in Ocean City, Maryland on April 6-8. Thirty-four students and seven sponsors from the Calvert Association of Student Councils (CASC) were among the nearly 1,000 people attending the event. Scott Goldstein, CASC sponsor and

social studies teacher at Patuxent High, said, “The Felix Simon Award is named for the founder of the Maryland Association of Student Councils. The award is synonymous with the excellence and dedication established by Felix Simon over 50 years ago. Student governments that earn this honor have committed themselves to serving others and teaching leadership with passion.” This year marks the first time a Calvert County middle school earned the distinction of the Felix Simon Award since Calvert Middle won in 1992, the first year the award was given. In 2015,
Huntingtown High was among the three high school winners across the state. The award is not a competition among councils, but rather a set of criteria for all school student governments to use to enhance leadership, service and student empowerment within their schools. To apply for this award, a Student Government Association (SGA) must evaluate all of its activities at the school and community level, the regional level and the state level. An SGA earns points for every activity it hosts and for every event in which it participates. Points are also earned for a written constitution

MASC strives to foster a statewide environment for all secondary school students to express and exchange opinions and ideas, develop leadership skills, and promote student representation and involvement in all groups and organizations impacting the lives of students.

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 Public Schools Hosts Envirothon Calvert County Public Schools will host the 25th annual Calvert County Envirothon on April 22, 2016 at King’s Landing Park from 8:30 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. The press is invited to attend. During the competition, high school students work with environmental professionals to gain expertise in a variety of natural resource management fields.
The goal of the program is to engage students in activities that will hone their critical thinking and decision making skills on environmental problems and to expose them to careers in the natural resources field. Participants will test their knowledge in the fields of wildlife management, soil conservation, forestry management and aquatic resources.
The winning team will advance to the state competition to be held at Mt. St. Mary’s University in Emmitsburg, Maryland on June 22-23, 2016. The Envirothon is sponsored by the Calvert County Soil Conservation Service, the Calvert Forestry Board, the Calvert County Natural Resources Division, Morgan State University’s Patux-

David Redden of Calvert High is the CCPS finalist for Teacher of the Year, and Toni Chapman of St. Leonard Elementary is the finalist for Principal of the Year. The Washington Post Teacher of the Year Award, formerly known as the Agnes Meyer Outstanding Teacher Award, recognizes teachers who exemplify excellence in their profession. The Washington Post Principal of the Year Award, formerly called the Distinguished Educational Leadership Award, seeks to recognize those principals who go beyond the day-to-day demands of their position to create an exceptional educational environment. School systems in the District of Columbia, Maryland and Vir-
ginia, including D.C. public charters and private schools, selected nominees in the two categories. Each winner receives a trophy and $7,500. The winner of the 2016 Teacher of the Year award is Shalonda Holt of Howard County Public Schools, and the Principal of the Year is Ryan Tauriainen, head of AppleTree Institute Early Learning Public Charter School’s Columbia Heights campus. Mr. Redden has spent his entire 24year career teaching science at Calvert High. His keen ability to relate to all students and engage them in his lessons, plus his content knowledge and creative planning, earned him the distinction of being the 2015 Calvert High Teacher of the Year for the CCPS teacher recognition program. He currently teaches chemistry and approaches his students with the conviction that each one can
and will learn. As the sponsor of the National Honor Society, he holds a strong belief in the importance of teaching students the value of providing service to their school and community. Principal Susan B. Johnson, Ph.D., said, “Mr. Redden is a master teacher and instructional leader. He has acquired the experience to lead teachers forward for the betterment of public education. His continued commitment to Calvert High School and its students’ success is exemplary.” Ms. Chapman’s career in education began in her home state of Oregon. She came to Calvert County as an administrator after teaching in Japan and Anne Arundel County. Ms. Chapman makes school climate and culture a priority, while setting high expectations for both staff and students. She models professional growth by leading, participating in, and supporting staff development
activities that focus on student learning. This year Ms. Chapman started a committee called KARMA: Keeping Appreciation, Recognition, and Morale Alive! because she recognizes that student success increases when staff morale and collaboration are supported. Superintendent Daniel D. Curry, Ed.D., said, “Ms. Chapman has worked tirelessly as the principal of St. Leonard Elementary. Her work has affected many students, parents, teachers and other administrators. Ms. Chapman consistently supports her building staff members as they solve problems, and she provides the needed resources so they in turn can meet the needs of students.” Press Release

Southern Maryland Youth (Creative And Striving Hard, National Society of Black Engineers, Jr. Chapter) Soar at Boston Convention Calvert Cruisers Youth Earn Invitation to National Racing Competition
For most of us Spring Break is just that time away from school or work- an occasion to relax, travel or have some fun. But, not true for a busload of the Creative And Striving Hard (CASH), National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE), Jr. Chapter members of Calvert County. These aspiring engineers, scientists, and mathematicians attended the 43rd Annual NSBE Convention, Boston, MA (March 23-27), having the opportunity to be among the best and the brightest in technology today. Led by Ms. Rhonda Thomas, LEAP Forward President and Mrs. Tonya Wilkerson, NSBE Jr. Advisor, a host of chaperones (a.k.a. advisors/parents/guardians) and the CASH NSBE Jr. Chapter leadership, this team competed and placed highly against other student- teams which were assembled from across the nation. From almost the moment the Southern Maryland students arrived- greeted with chilly and blustery Beantown weather, CASH’s Try-Math-A-Lon (TMAL) Teams: Absolute Values (9th and 10th graders) and Divide and Conquer (11th and 12th graders) began a series of practices and qualifying rounds. TMAL is a tutoring program meant to foster good study habits and help students prepare for standardized test exams such as the ACT and SAT, while also promoting competition and good sportsmanship. While designed to have fun and learn; ultimately it’s about solving challenging STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) problems and injecting innovative ideas into the equations. For CASH’s cadre of chaperones, it was an especially busy time as they coordinated students’ movement among nearly 10,000 conventioneers- a record attendance for NSBE. To even make the trip possible, the chapter members had worked tirelessly over the last several months through a number of fundraisers to help cover trip costs, along with team meetings and practice sessions. According to Wilkerson, who’s also the ninth and tenth grade math team coordinator, “our math teams’ preparation and performance led to us having two (teams) advanced to the final rounds of competition. At the end of competition, the Absolute Values TMAL team advanced to the second round and finished sixth out of 23 teams. Certainly organization and teamwork, along with a hastily organized prayer session led by Dorien Minor
(Calvert High), CASH’s Vice President of Programs, help to make CASH successful.” “CASH was also well-represented by our middle school Mathcounts – Math Pi-rates team, that advanced to the third round with Kensley Benjamin (Calvert Middle) leading the competition for the team,” noted Wilkerson. Absolute Value team members included Tiffany Jackson (Northern High), Taylor Jackson (Northern), Samirah Brown (Northern High), Melvin Brown (Calvert High) and Dorien Minor (Calvert High). Divide and Conquer team members included Dia Brown (Huntingtown High), Wilbur Robinson (Calvert High), Cedric Fowler (Calvert High), Dana Wiggins (Huntingtown High) and Jerrell Jones (Northern High). Math Pi-rates team members included Micah Taylor (Calvert Middle), Tia Jackson (Northern Middle), Kensley Benjamin (Calvert Middle) and Nysun Andre (Calvert Middle). “The Ten80 Education Racing Challenge team, the Calvert Cruisers, hard work paid-off as they were highly successful,” Thomas explained! Recalling the Cruisers team success, she said: “we were real good in the Student Racing Challenge. Our Ten80 race team (using electric radio- controlled cars) won three convention trophies, finishing second overall in a field of 35 other NSBE Jr. teams from across the country.” In the racing challenge, the finals culminate a yearlong program where student-teams work together on tasks much like how professional race car teams function in the run-up to a race. According to Thomas, “we placed first in our eight-minute presentation which was given by the Program Manager Kenadi Wilkerson (Huntingtown High), Marketing lead Alexis Hill (Huntingtown High), Isaiah Lewis (Annapolis High), James Cogborn (Calvert High), and Malcolm Brown (Huntingtown High). The presentation team created a business Plan on Powerpoint which they presented in front of two judges to explain all aspects of the team, including information about how and why the team was formed, who is on the team, what each team member's responsibilities are, budget information, team sponsors, prospects for the future, and other background data.” “We won second place for the on-line-
The public is invited to the inaugural Southern Maryland Acoustic Music Assembly on Saturday, May 14, 2016, 1:00-9:00 pm at Annmarie Sculpture Garden & Arts Center in Solomons, Maryland. The music-filled day grows out of a popular monthly song circle at Calvert Library Southern Branch. The event will begin with afternoon song circles and acoustic jamming from 1:00-4:30pm. The circles are open to all abilities and musical genres, so bring your preferred acoustic instruments and/or your favorite songs to share – or just come to listen. In the evening, enjoy a lasagna dinner and a concert jam featuring four bands – The Bootleggers, Pat Willis & Friends, The Smoke Creek Rounders and The
Eric Landes Band. After the concert jam, stay for contra dancing led by caller Elgin Perry with music supplied by The Southern Maryland Open Band. SMAMA is an opportunity to play, sing, dance, and hear different kinds of music – and to meet other musicians from Southern Maryland and beyond. Come for part – or all day! Snacks and drinks, including wine and beer, will be available for sale throughout the day. Event admission is $5 for adults, $4 for seniors & military, $3 for youth, kids 5 & under are free.

points race which included submitting project plans, team charters, marketing plan, elevator speech, a three minute presentation, community project, driver and mechanical certifications,” Thomas added. “The competition in the finals was daunting and while our Cruiser team reached the final round, they were topped by reigning NSBE champions, “The BEAST” from Chicago State University NSBE Jr. Chapter.” “No doubt about it, this chapter (CASH) has talent,” Thomas added. “And we can compete at the highest level of student competition with this exceptional group of young people in our chapter.” The Calvert Cruisers also competed in three races: Fastest Lap in five minutes - driver was Devian Jones (Calvert High); Total Laps in 10 minutes-driver was Malcolm Brown (Huntingtown High); and Endurance Race most laps in 25 minutes, drivers were Brandon Hooker (Calvert High); Kenadi Wilkerson (Huntingtown High); and Jay Tyler (Calvert High). The Pitcrew team consisted Dorien Minor (Calvert High) and Wilbur Robinson (Calvert High). The team was also judged on an engineering Data Driven Design project. Led by the engineering team consisting of Jerrell Jones (Northern High), Cedric Fowler (Calvert High) and Advisor Michael Richmond, the team presented the results of the “Aerodynamic Effects of a Rear Spoiler.” The work of the marketing team was impressive and was led by Alexis Hill (Huntingtown High). The team provided the SWAG for PitCrew Station #7 which consisted of banners, the Calvert County Flag, poster displays and pen and hand bands as giveaways. The marketing team included Jocelyn Berry (Ryken High); Destiny Dillion (Calvert High); Kayla Williams (Calvert High); Brandon Perkins (Annapolis High); Spencer Davis (Thomas Stone) and Joshua Stubbs (Southern Middle). After the great results in Boston, Thomas shared: “the Cruisers have just received an invitation to the Ten 80 Education National Racing competition at the Miami-Homestead Speedway, in Miami, Florida on May 20-21. Less than a quarter of all the racing teams are invited to National Finals. The Calvert Cruisers team made the cut!” Thomas added: “this competition is a
wonderful chance to nationally showcase the Cruisers’ talent and it is so deserving for this group of youth. The team is actively looking for sponsors and engaging other fund-raising activities to help defray the unexpected, but highly-valued opportunity to represent our local chapter.” According to advisor and parent, Henderson Benjamin, these young people have a full range of activities at these national conventions, everything from a career fair and handson workshops to the special luncheon for our six graduating seniors. And, then they get to meet and network with talented professionals from engineering firms from around the world. There was even a talent show where some of our youth showed some skills we hadn’t seen before. He added: Ten80 team member, Melvin Davis (Calvert High), cut a few dance moves on stage, receiving a few oohs and awes from the crowd. And, then there was Brandon Hooker (Calvert High) who bravely took to the mic, to rock the crowd with a rap. On the final day in Boston, organizers arranged a college-experience to two of the city’s most- famed research universities, Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Later that day, the group had free range to explore the city which is often called one of the “most walkable cities in America.” Thomas noting the extraordinary effort by all the chapter members, said: “we don’t just have a team, we’re more like family where everybody looks out for each other. And, we could not have done all this without our incredible sponsors: Best Buy, Dominion Foundation, Ten80 Education, U.S. Army, Calvert County Baptist Church, Solidworks, and LEAP Forward, Inc.” On the next day, it was back on the bus to Calvert with Miami as the next stop on CASH’s STEM journey. by Colonel Will Wiggins, USA (Ret.)
