Motorcycle Passenger Died After Crash By Dandan Zou Staff Writer
Motorcycle passenger Sompis Clarke died from severe injuries sustained from a car crash. Clarke was severely injured after a collision with a Mustang in Lusby on Monday afternoon. According to police investigation, Mark Douglas Clark was driving a 2008 Harley Davidson motorcycle along with passenger Clarke, travelling east on Cove Point Rd. Richard Walter Quade was driving a Ford Mustang, which was stationary at the stop sign at Little Cove Point Rd. and Cove Point Rd. Quade was waiting to turn west onto Cove Point Rd. He failed to yield the right of way to the motorcycle. In an effort
to avoid a crash, the motorcycle driver took evasive action. The motorcycle ended up colliding with the Mustang head-on and caused Douglas and Clarke to be ejected from the motorcycle. Both Douglas and Clarke were flown to Prince George’s Shock Trauma to be treated. However, Clarke died shortly after arriving at the hospital. Anyone who may have witnessed this crash is asked to contact Jeff Hardesty of the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office Crash Reconstruction Team. He can be reached at 410-535-2800 or hardesje@co.cal.md.us.

Pedestrian Injured After Stuck By Car in Prince Frederick By Dandan Zou Staff Writer On Friday morning, a pedestrian was struck by a car when crossing the intersection of Route 4 and Dares Beach Rd. The pedestrian was seriously injured in the head area, but the sheriff’s office said she is likely to recover. The injured pedestrian was a white woman named Veronica Disney, 54, of Chesapeake Beach. The driver of the car involved in the accident was Trista Smith, 50, of St. Leonard. According to police investigation, Smith was driving a gray 2011 Nissan Altima, travelling north on Route 4 in lane one. The car was proceeding with a green light through the intersection when Disney tried to cross Route 4 from the east side of Dares Beach Rd. towards Safeway. When the accident happened, Disney was talking on the phone and was not paying attention to the traffic, according to a witness who was walking with Disney. The witness tried to stop Disney, but she continued to walk into the traffic, “apparently aware of the danger,” according to the press release.
When the sheriff’s office and the crash reconstruction team arrived at the scene around 7 a.m., Disney was lying in the middle of the road unresponsive. She was taken to Prince George’s Hospital Shock Trauma unit with severe injuries. “The pedestrian received injuries primarily to the area of her head,” said Todd Ireland, Patrol Commander of the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office. As of Monday, it appears that she will recover from her injuries. The crash happened during morning rush hour and caused a traffic backup. One lane was closed at 7:17 a.m. and was open more than an hour later at 8:57 a.m., according to Nixle alerts distributed by the sheriff’s office. “If any charges are filed, they would be against her (Disney),” Ireland said. “The witness was walking with her and tried to stop her from crossing against the green light, so the pedestrian is at fault.” As the investigation continues, anyone with information related to this crash is asked to call Jeff Hardesty at 410-535-2800 or email him at hardesje@co.cal.md.us.

North Beach Town Council Approves Film Festival Proposal By Dandan Zou Staff Writer The Town Council unanimously approved the proposal to host a three-day North Beach American Film Festival in June of 2017. The proposal was brought up by Anthony Greene, a Chesapeake Beach resident and an independent filmmaker. Born in Washington D.C. and grew up in Prince George’s County, Greene said he had a great experience with North Beach since becoming a filmmaker and would love to give back to the community. The film festival will showcase independent films produced across the country, highlighting those that exhibit the multicultural and diverse aspects of the American life, according to the proposal. Greene said he’s interested in screening films that would show an America with experiences from people coming from all walks of life. It could be an Israeli or Korean American telling stories of their experiences living here, Greene said. Film company Reel Independent Film Extravaganza will produce the festival. Greene said ten percent of the proceeds
will go to the Town of North Beach and another ten percent will go to the Twin Beach Players, a local community theater group. The funding of the film festival will come from a combination of grants, sponsorships, donations and admission fees, according to Greene. Details are still under discussion. The festival will have about six screening blocks and a Sunday afternoon awards ceremony. Two screenings will take place on the beach and the remaining three will be indoor. Greene suggested the Twin Beaches Library as one of the potential indoor locations during the council work session on Thursday. As the town tries to become the art and entertainment district, the film festival will certainly be part of it, Council Member Kenneth Wilcox said during the work session. Ratings of all films screened will be within the range of PG-13. Food and services will be coordinated with local businesses. Film submission process will start this October.

For Wounded Warriors, The Battles Don’t End Once They Come Home A Letter to the Editor The day after Father’s Day, I had to tell my husband that our grandson, Dustin Wood, 33, died in Tallahassee, Florida. In 44 years of marriage, this was the hardest thing I ever had to do. Dustin tried to detox himself over two days in order to have an artificial eye put in place and, most important, to be free of alcohol. He lost the use of that eye after sustaining many explosions while serving two tours each as a Marine in both Iraq and Afghanistan. He came back as a Sergeant but also with PTSD, detached retinas, alcoholism and, most likely, brain complications. He suffered headaches, had horrendous nightmares and never spoke optimistically about his future. He was a member of the first Wounded Warrior class. We almost lost him two years ago when his liver failed due to alcohol poisoning. He was saved by the doctors at the Gainesville Veterans Hospital. If your family has sustained such a loss, we now understand your pain. Dustin’s

parents have now buried their oldest son. We have to endure this loss as a family. Dustin had so much promise but he took a path that left him little hope. He wanted so badly to go to college and have a happy life. He is now in a better place with his fellow Marines and all other men and women who have given their lives for our country. Dustin had a life well lived. He was a good Marine and proud of it. Ten of his Marine brothers came from all over the United States to attend his funeral and pay him the ultimate honor. He loved his family and his friends. He was a hunter, a fisherman, and loved bull riding. No matter whether you have relatives who have experienced these symptoms or not, please give all your loving support to the men and women who serve us faithfully and help them to have lives well lived.

Annmarie Summer Project Brings Art and Community Together
By Dandan Zou Staff Writer
Since 2005, hundreds of visitors participate in Annmarie Garden’s Public Art Project each year. This summer, the art project is named “Inflatable – Images and Inspirations” and is led by artist-in-residence Hannah Jeremiah, a recent graduate from the Maryland Institute College of Art. Vistors are encouraged to draw pictures and write down messages on pieces of scraps and vinyl in the artLAB at Annmarie Garden. By the end of August, Jeremiah will sew these scraps from visitors together and create an inflatable dome large enough for people to go inside and see their own contributions. So far, Jeremiah has collected hundreds of creative scraps from participants and expected to gather more in the weeks to come. The project started in mid-June and will last till the end of August. She is now in the process of sewing the scraps together to make the dome. Because of the leaks, there will be one large fan blowing air into the dome to keep it upright when the dome
makes its debut in September’s Artsfest, she said. The essence of the art project is to make it a community activity that allows visitors to interact with art and be creative. Now in her second month as the artistin-residence at Annmarie Garden, Jeremiah enjoys chatting with children who come to visit with their families and working with them on their ideas. A few days ago, a visiting girl about seven years old approached Jeremiah and asked for her help to make an inflatable donut-shaped balloon. Jeremiah used a piece of a white beach ball with some flower patterns on it and sewed together a small, triangular-shaped object. She was constantly amazed by the girl’s imagination and her determination to overcome difficulties to achieve her goal. The first problem they encountered was sewing together a donut-shaped balloon, which is geometrically too complicated to accomplish. They later settled on a triangle. When the object leaked air because it
was sewed together, the girl suggested using tapes to cover the holes in between the stitches. When that didn’t fix all the leaks, they used a hair dryer to keep it inflated. Jeremiah said she enjoyed working with the girl and hearing that she wanted to become an artist when she grew up. She was also amazed to hear more creative ideas from the girl. One of them was to insert a light bulb on a headband and embed the
headband with a switch that would turn the light bulb on whenever she has a new idea. One of the struggles working with children is that you don’t know their levels to give them the right guidance, Jeremiah said. “But it was great to see someone so devoted in making things that seem impossible.” Born in Arkansas, Jeremiah grew up in Connecticut and later came to Baltimore

The Calvert County Times for school. She developed an interest in sewing since she was young. She still uses her grandmother’s sewing machine almost everyday now. Growing up in the suburbs, she also developed a curiosity about over-abundance, waste and the unwanted. Whether it’s one earring in the stairwell or a pyramid of empty Snapple bottles, Jeremiah viewed the discarded objects as catalysts for flexible sculptures, installations and other artistic expressions. Initially wanting to make the dome as tall as 17 feet, Jeremiah changed her design and said she would like to let the donated materials dictate the size of the dome. She gets her plastic materials for the dome mostly from donation. People brought in shower curtains, beach balls, pool toys, poked airbags, cat litter bags, and so on. In this way, she doesn’t need to buy more plastics to fill the material gap. The public art project is designed to create a nurturing environment for emerging artists who are interested in community and public art projects and to provide opportunities for the public to interact with art, according to Annmarie’s website. Initially started in 2005, the first summer project was called Passages, an installation inspired by a project in Central Park, New York. In 2011, it was Wish Mandala for which people made hundreds of wishing flags designed to create harmony in the community. Last year, it was Modern Petroglyphics, a stone carving installation featuring drawings from people in the community. Visitors are encouraged to come to Annmarie Garden and contribute to Jeremiah’s project. Participation is included with the price of admission, which is $5 for adults, $4 for military, $3 for youth and free for members and children under the age of six. The dome will stand on display at Annmarie’s annul Artsfest on September 17 and 18.

Heat can affect anyone, but most at risk are the very young, very old and people with underlying health problems. Symptoms of heat illness include heavy sweating, muscle cramps, weakness, dizziness, nausea, weak but rapid pulse and headaches. People with these symptoms should find shade, drink water slowly and make sure there is good ventilation. Those with severe symptoms should seek medical attention.

Featuring works by Ray Bogle, Denise Breitburg, Marie Estabrook, Randy Estabrook, and Adam Sampson. June 8 to July 3, 2016.

Denise Breitburg is a marine biologist at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center with a deep passion for the beauty and the complexity of the natural world. She says, “Everything about pottery is magical – from the hypnotic spin of the potters wheel, to the transformation of a shapeless lump to a graceful shape, to the mystery of colors appearing in the heat of the kiln.” Marie and Randy Estabrook are a married couple sharing the same passion for clay. “This is our creative outlet- Randy and I make beautiful ceramic art that reflects the designs and patterns
of the natural world,” said Marie. Adam Sampson is a our newest member and we can’t wait to see what he produces for this show!

A View From The
Bleachers
A Platform For Change Recent sports headlines have been dominated by an all-star NBA forward from Maryland. No, not the ‘Skins fan from Prince George’s County. Oh he’s gotten plenty of run after snubbing the Wizards, crushing dreams in Oklahoma City and inking a deal with the Golden State Warriors, the NBA’s first non-LeBron-James Evil Empire in years. Pause The Kevin Durant Chronicles for a moment; a former resident of Baltimore, the land of orange, purple and Natty Boh, stirred up far more important publicity last week. I’m not a fan of New York Knicks forward Carmelo Anthony. Yes, he’s a bigtime scorer who can flat out drain the orange. But he’s an obligatory defender, his effort is questionable and there’s no evidence that he makes his teammates better. One dimensional. Generally overrated. Not my cup of tea. That’s Anthony the player. But Anthony the man and unexpected political activist? That guy has my attention. That guy has my respect. In an overwhelmingly sad week that saw police shoot and kill Philando Castile and Alton Sterling and Micah Johnson kill five officers in Dallas, Anthony took to social media to express his outrage. Here are his paraphrased thoughts (the post is worth reading in its entirety): “We need to steer our anger in the right direction…towards the system. Shooting 11 cops and killing 5 WILL NOT work… we need to come together more than anything at this time. We need each other. I’m calling on my fellow athletes to step up and take charge. There’s NO more sitting back and being afraid of tackling and addressing political issues anymore. THE TIME IS NOW. DEMAND CHANGE.” When confronted with domestic or international turmoil, I often turn to Fareed Zakaria’s book “The Post-American World” for solace. In it, Zakaria argues that, by historical comparison, we occupy a peaceful world, one whose cultural and economic interconnectivity largely mitigates dangerous political discord and ill-intended personal or national ambition. The evidence is convincing: We’ve achieved unprecedented levels of trade and economic prosperity; cultural barriers are reduced by travel and information exchange, and; large scale war between superpowers, the kind that results

in massive casualties and global instability, doesn’t exist. Still, with alarmingly frequent terrorist attacks and senseless killings, it is difficult to remain hopeful in humanity’s grand earthly coexistence, despite Zakaria’s logical, fact-based counterpoints. Human nature as it is, it seems that stereotypes will corrupt the small-minded, greed will infect the ambitious and religious zealotry will distort the worship of a god into an instrument of pure evil. The tendency for decent, loving and well-intended individuals is to respond to social calamity by controlling what they can – personal attitudes and actions and the world view of youths they influence – and steadfastly remaining part of the solution. The development of strategies that promote the world’s safety, progressive international relationships and the infrastructure for social fellowship and equality is deferred to a nation’s leaders, a term often synonymous with politicians. Given the scope of today’s challenges, that is mostly an understandable and defensible reaction. For what happened in Minnesota, Louisiana and Texas during America’s Independence week, it isn’t enough. The world has a common opponent who is terrorizing free, peaceful people around the globe. Yet here we are in America, the allegedly most diverse, open and tolerant nation in the world, struggling with senseless internal violence. We have to demand better of ourselves, resist shameful stereotypes and appreciate and promote our common humanity. That is part of Anthony’s point. The added layer is that while sports is a fun, joyous reprieve from the ugliness of everyday life, there comes a time when it should be more. Anthony’s fed up and willing to use his NBA platform to be a change agent; he’s challenging colleagues to do the same. We should all applaud his courageous activism and stand behind him, Knicks fan or not. Otherwise we’re just individuals left rereading books or returning to other familiar outlets to soothe the pain of the latest crisis and retain hope in our flawed species. For me, Anthony’s crusade is well-time; I need more than Zakaria’s wisdom to maintain faith in this world. Send comments to RonaldGuyJr@gmail.com

COMMISSIONER’S CORNER By Evan Slaughenhoupt Commissioner President
By Design
Town Centers, by design are envisioned to have mixed uses, commercial, residential, community. By design, the plan for Calvert County was to have largely rural areas for agriculture and residential with commercial activities in the town centers. Not all Town Centers are alike. Commercial in Minor Town Centers is intended to largely support the local community area. Dunkirk is nearly 100% commercial with very little space remaining for much more development. Citizens who lived near there were very active to ensure Dunkirk did not draw consumers from areas further north than the Wayson’s Corner/Lothian area. Frankly, Owings is so small that some consideration may be given to turn it into a Village instead of a Town Center. Huntingtown seems to have citizens who favor changing it also into a Village. None of these town centers have public water/sewer and are unlikely in the foreseeable future. St. Leonard, also currently without public sewer seems to teeter between staying small or expand. The remaining minor town center, Lusby has seen much growth; in fact, it may be possible one day to be unable to see where Lusby ends and Solomons begins. We will see. Three Major Town Centers exist, Solomons, Prince Frederick and the beaches (North Beach, Chesapeake Beach). The most expansive commercial activities were envisioned for these areas. The Beaches (which are incorporated towns who determine their own future) and Solomons are pretty much built out as areas within those town center limits are pretty much all oc-
cupied. Prince Frederick is another story. Prince Frederick has land for development consistent with the Vision of the Comprehensive Master Plan, as well as areas where the actual town center limits could expand. In one district (New Town), there is a small area (about 80 acres) where much focus is currently to create a multi-use development, known as Armory Square. When the presentation of the Charrette for Armory Square was presented circa 2012, I asked a simple question. What zoning changes are needed to implement the concepts and visions of that Charrette? The current set of proposed text amendments for the New Town District will facilitate the development consistent with the mix use vision that resulted from the Charrette. Even a larger footprint store was shown on the concept drawing from the Charrette which cannot occur without the text amendments being adopted. The Prince Frederick Master Plan; section VI.G.2 of the Prince Frederick Zoning Ordinance states that the New Town District offers a unique opportunity to create a comprehensively designed, mixed-use, planned community at a key location within the Town Center. While the text amendments are not a comprehensive design the amendments are consistent with that master plan and are comprehensive as they apply to the entire New Town District. Consisting of commercial/retail not previously available within Calvert County, Residential, Green Space, and Community Center, Armory Square is all consistent with the Comprehensive Master Plan, Prince Frederick Master Plan; and by design.
