“For a child or adult who is Deaf, DeafBlind, hard of hearing, or has difficulty speaking, access to a tablet computer can make a significant difference in their ability to communicate successfully,” said Brenda Kelly-Frey, director of Telecommunications Access of Maryland (TAM). “A person using a tablet is no longer tethered to a landline, and can make calls from anywhere at any time using WiFi. Maryland has always had one of the most advanced and comprehensive telephone equipment distribution programs in the country, and as phone technology continues to shift from analog to more Internet-based solutions, it is vital that we update our equipment selection to include these new tools. We thank Governor Hogan for his support of this initiative and the Department of Information Technology for having the foresight to allow us to expand our program.” “This initiative is one of the most novel of its kind in the country, and I thank Governor Hogan, TAM Director Brenda KellyFrey, and the Department of Information Technology for making this possible for Deaf, DeafBlind, and hard-of-hearing constituents,” said Kelby Brick, director of the Governor’s Office of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. “The tablets’ technologies will help expand many horizons, enabling our constituents to become better students, employees, and contributing members of their communities.”

Governor Larry Hogan today announced that Maryland Relay, a public service provided by the state to assist people who are unable to use a standard telephone to make and receive calls, is now accepting applications for no-cost tablets through the Maryland Accessible Telecommunications (MAT) program. The announcement coincided with the start of “Telecommunications for All Week” in Maryland, which lasts from September 11 through September 17, and reinforces the Hogan administration’s commitment to expanding communications services for all citizens. “Our administration is focused on finding ways to improve the quality of life for all of our citizens,” said Governor Hogan. “The tablet program is just the latest example of how we are working to ensure that all Marylanders, regardless of disability, are able to communicate with ease — an ability that many of us take for granted.” Maryland residents who are unable to use a standard telephone due to a disability and who meet specific financial requirements are eligible to apply for a tablet computer. After an evaluation, approved applicants will receive a tablet from the State of Maryland that will come pre-loaded with software — including video chat or captioned telephone programs — to assist with telecommunication. The Maryland Board of Public Works approved the addition of tablets to the MAT program in June 2016, and tablets will begin to be distributed this month.

science at St. Mary’s College of Maryland, said that Clark was a strong choice for the position due to his political experience. Hogan’s choice also represented an attempt to balance the compilation of the delegation. “The governor was sent an excellent list, there wasn’t a bad name on it,” Eberly said. “He [Clark] has great experience in the county and at the Tri-County Council as well.” By appointing Clark to the vacant seat, Eberly said, Hogan maintained a balance among the delegation with two delegates, Matt Morgan and Deb Rey, from St. Mary’s, while one seat was reserved for Calvert. Sen. Steve Waugh is also from Calvert. District 29C bridges both counties but most of the population is in St. Mary’s County. “I think it was a wise pick,” Eberly said. “It provides balance.” Chairman of Calvert’s Republican Central Committee Greg Ostrander said he’s “excited” to hear Hogan’s choice. He said he believed that Clark would be an excellent representative for both Calvert and St. Mary’s County. Clark served as Calvert County Commissioner from 2002 to 2014. He is also a local business owner for about four decades and owns the liquor store Port of Call Wine and Spirits in Solomons.

Gov. Larry Hogan selected Jerry Clark to fill the 29C state delegate vacancy left by longtime GOP Del. Tony O’Donnell. O’Donnell was appointed by Hogan to serve on the Public Service Commission early this summer. “For more than a decade, Jerry has served the people of Calvert County, and I am confident that he is the most qualified candidate to represent District 29C in the Maryland General Assembly,” Hogan said. “He has a deep understanding of the issues his constituents care most about.” “I am humbled by the confidence Gov. Hogan has in me and am honored to represent the people of Calvert and St. Mary’s Counties,” Clark said. “I look forward to improving the lives of District 29C’s citizens and working with the governor to continue changing Maryland for the better.” Clark’s ascendency to the Dist. 29C delegate seat comes at a time when most of the district is actually in St. Mary’s County, also Clark lost the last time he ran for reelection in Calvert County. Clark, who had served three terms as a county commissioner in Calvert’s District 1, lost his primary bid back in the 2014 race to current County Commissioner Mike Hart. Clark lost by about 340 votes in a threeway race. Despite losing out in the last election cycle, Todd Eberly, professor of political

Maryland Issued $2.4 Billion Tax Return By Dandan Zou Staff Writer

After processing more than three millions tax returns for the 2015 tax year, the state issued nearly $2.4 billion tax refunds to residents, according to the state’s comptroller’s office. More than 80 percent of taxpayers chose to file electronically this year. “Clearly, taxpayers have now embraced electronic filing, and that makes a huge difference in the speed of receiving a refund,” Comptroller Peter Franchot said. The Comptroller’s office has 12 branch offices that can help taxpayers file electronically. Taxpayers who file taxes elecProvided by Calvert County Republican Central Commitee

Trump Signs Targeted by Vandals Reward Offered By Dandan Zou Staff Writer Last week, two Donald Trump for President campaign signs were reported damaged in Calvert. The Calvert County Republican Central Committee is offering a $500 reward for information leading to the arrest and prosecution of anyone damaging a Republican candidate’s campaign sign. For one sign on Route 4 in Huntingtown, the letter T and P were blackened out by a marker. The other damaged sign was on Route 231 in Prince Frederick and had its T and P cut out. Both signs were four feet by eight feet large and were on private property. The central committee has fixed both signs by replacing and repainting the letters. “I understand that in a highly polarized election, people get frustrated and take actions,” said Greg Ostrander, chairman of Calvert’s Republican Central Committee. But Ostrander said he wouldn’t support the act of anyone defacing a candidate’s campaign signs, regardless of whether it’s a sign for a Republican and Democrat running for office. Calvert has about two-dozen large Trump signs and 700 small signs all over the county, according to Ostrander. “Everyone has a right to their political opinion,” Ostrander said, adding that disagreeing with someone doesn’t mean they can hinder other peoples’ freedom of political speech. Ostrander said he hopes this reward would give residents incentives to monitor and report such behavior and stop people from doing it again. Last week’s incident is the first time a political candidate’s sign being vandalized in this election cycle. The act of damaging or stealing a campaign sign, however, is nothing new.

County Commissioner Mike Hart said he lost more than a dozen signs when he ran for commissioner in 2014. At the time, he also gave out magnet bumper stickers to supporters. Often times people came to his liquor store in Lusby and asked him for a new bumper sticker because the one they had on the car got lost. “Those were heavy magnet bumper stickers that can’t slide off,” Hart said. “It’s sad when stuff like that happens. Men and women die for the right to vote.” Calvert Public Schools’ Board of Education Member Kelly McConkey experienced similar issues when he ran for school board in 2012 and then for commissioner in 2014. “It happens every time,” McConkey said. His signs were never vandalized, but some got stolen. He said he lost about five or six large signs in 2014. The cost could add up quickly if a candidate has a few large signs missing, McConkey said. The small yard signs cost about $4.50 a piece and large signs of four feet by eight feet cost about $80 a piece. The motivation behind vandalizing a political sign may not always be politically charged. “The last time this happened was two years ago,” said Todd Ireland from the Sheriff’s Office. “They were high-school-age kids who did it as a prank,” Ireland said. “In lieu of being charged, the parents of the children agreed it would be best to make them replace the signs they destroyed.” According to the Sheriff’s Office, charges for damaging or defacing political campaign signs is destruction of property. If the signs were stolen, the individual responsible would be charged with theft.

tronically are likely to get tax refunds faster than those who file via snail mails. Residents can also call toll-free taxpayer services number to get free state tax preparation help. For taxpayers living in central Maryland, call taxpayer service at 410260-7980. For residents living elsewhere, call 1-800-MD-TAXES (1-800-638-2937). Tax assistance is available from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. Residents can also e-mail their tax questions to taxhelp@comp.state.md.us.

Center for Social Change to Pay $331,000 for Medicaid Fraud Maryland Attorney General Brian E. Frosh announced today that Center for Social Change, Inc., based in Elkridge, Maryland, will pay $331,000 to the State of Maryland to resolve allegations that the non-profit organization received payments from the state Medicaid program for staffing that it did not provide to group homes for individuals with developmental disabilities. Center for Social Change is responsible for providing community-based housing and other support services to persons with intellectual/developmental disabilities. Staffing in homes is based on an evaluation of individual needs, and payment is admin-

istered by the Developmental Disabilities Administration. In 2011, the Center for Social Change understaffed 15 of its 30 homes but accepted payments from the Administration for full staffing. Attorney General Frosh thanked Medicaid Fraud Control Unit Director Ilene J. Nathan, Assistant Attorney General Jennifer S. Forsythe, Auditor Carol Kelly and Investigator Valerie Puig for their work on this case. Attorney General Frosh also thanked the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene Office of the Inspector General for its assistance. From Maryland Attorney General’s Office

The NSA program provides paid employment during alternating semesters, tuition reimbursement, and one class prepaid during the accepted student’s “off” semesters. “This is a great opportunity that NSA has been managing for more than 50 years, and they have now opened up applications from community college students who plan to continue on to a four-year degree,” said Wendy Hume Hayes, CSM cybersecurity program coordinator in the college’s Business and Technology Division. CSM students who have declared one of the following majors – cybersecurity, information systems security, computer science, computer engineering and electrical engineering -- and have completed no more than 24 credit hours toward a degree, may be eligible to apply for a paid internship. Students also must be U.S. citizens and be able to pass a background check.

Hayes will explain the NSA co-op program, and CSM Career Services will be on hand to help students polish their application materials. “Having NSA recognize the high-level technical skills our community college students earn is a great achievement,” Hayes said. “This is an amazing opportunity our students should not pass up.” CSM was designated a National Centers of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense 2-Year Education (CAE2Y) by the NSA and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security for the second time last fall. The college joins 23 of the more than 1,200 community colleges across the nation to receive the honor, which recognizes the quality of the college’s cybersecurity educational practices and curriculum. According to the National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education, the global shortage of skilled security practitioners is predicted to reach 1.5 million by 2020. In the U.S., there are more than 209,000 unfilled cybersecurity jobs and the demand for information security professionals is expected to grow by 53 percent through 2018, according to an independent analysis of numbers from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Long Time Redskins Fan’s Loyalty Honored

Sports

Now iS the time to reNovate, redo, or overSeed Your lawN

By Guy Leonard Staff Writer For the past 74 years George Guy, founder of Guy Distrbuting Co. in Leonardtown, has never missed a home opening game for the Washington Redskins and at Monday night’s game his favorite team honored him for never giving up on them. He got to spend time with the team on the field and even got a tour of the stadium and pressbox, he told The County Times. “For the first 50 years of that, I never missed a game,” Guy, 92, said Tuesday. “I’ve been fortunate.” He’s been attending games for so long he can even remember service members being called out of one game back to base on Dec. 7, 1941; Pearl Harbor had just been attacked by the Japanese, hurtling the United States into World War II. “That’s a big memory in his life,” his daughter Karen Guy said. He’s such a dedicated fan, Karen remembered, that he once went to a game in heavy snow and got stuck in a snow bank; he left the car there and walked on to the stadium anyway. Guy said that he remembered coming home from school as a boy and listening to the radio broadcasts of the Redskins and the baseball team the Washington Senators.

Fall Garden Classes Start September 10th George with grandson Mark on the field

It was then that he got hooked. “They were the only teams in the area,” Guy said. “I just love the teams in Washington. “I can’t root for other teams like I can for the Washington Redskins.” Guy said he was able to take to the field twice, being honored as such a long-standing season ticket holder. He got to meet former Redskins quarterback and sports legend Sonny Jurgensen and was interviewed in the team’s radio booth. “That’s the first time I’ve ever been on the playing field,” Guy said. “We had a pretty nice time.” Despite his beloved team’s poor performance against the Pittsburgh Steelers, he has no plans of switching to any other brand. “I’m not turning,” Guy said. “It’s just a game, it’s just a sport.” guyleonard@countytimes.net

With his 6th place finish, Daryl Hills was crowned the 2016 track champion, his second consecutive title at the track. “We didn’t have the run we would have liked tonight, but it’s a great feeling to get a championship for this team.” In support class action, Barry Williams Sr.drove to his 3rd win of the season and career 23rd,in the 16-lap Sreet Stock feature.

Walk to End Alzheimer’s This Saturday By Dandan Zou Staff Writer

More than 400 residents in Southern Maryland are expected to walk in Solomons this Saturday to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s care, support and research. The event is hosted by the local chapter of Alzheimer’s Association, a global nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing “research to end Alzheimer’s and dementia while enhancing care for those living with the disease.” Alzheimer’s disease is a type of dementia that causes problems with memory,

thinking and behavior, and the symptoms usually worsen over time. It is the sixth leading cause of death in the nation and the only cause of death in the top 10 that cannot be prevented, cured or slowed. According to Alzheimer’s Association, nearly 16 million caregivers are caring for more than five million patients across the country. In 2016, Alzheimer’s is expected to cost the nation more than $230 billion. The Walk first started as Memory Walk in 1989 with nine chapters of Alzheimer’s Association and about 1250 participants. The annual event has grown to more than 50,000 teams walking in more than 600 communities, raising more than $75 million across the nation in 2015. The national fundraising goal is shared by thousands of teams. As of press time, Southern Maryland’s 36 teams have reached about 70 percent of the $60,000 fundraising goal this year.

From a quick scan of team names listed on the event website, many teams are organized by families in honor of a loved one who was affected by the disease. The top fundraising team in Southern Maryland is Team Care Blairs, who raised nearly $15,000 so far. Contributions are tax-deductible and can be made through Dec. 31, said LaKeysha Boyd-Moore, coordinator of the Walk. Between September and October, there are seven walks planned in Northern Virginia, Washington D.C. and Maryland. The two-mile walk starts at 10 a.m. Saturday at Asbury Solomons. The route is very nice and scenery by the water, Boyd-Moore said. She added that the walk is a familyfriendly event where there will be exhibitors with Alzheimer’s-related information and music. Saturday’s Walk is a rain or shine event. For residents who are interested in going, the Alzheimer’s Association requires every walker to register on their event website. There is no registration fee for walk. On Walk day, each registered walker will receive a wristband and a promise garden flower. The flower is color-coded to symbolize how Alzheimer’s affects each person. Blue represents someone who is living with Alzheimer’s or dementia; purple is for someone who has lost a loved one to the disease; yellow means someone who is currently supporting or caring for someone with Alzheimer’s and orange is for everyone who supports the cause.

Parenting and Professional Empowerment Conference By Dandan Zou Staff Writer A two-day local conference designed to empower parents and education professionals will be held at Calvert County Emmanuel Baptist Church starting this Friday. The conference aims to provide parents, teachers and education-related professionals information about mental health issues and behavioral challenges among young children and adolescents. Participants can expect to learn about symptoms of mental disorders, diagnostic criteria, teaching strategies and available resources for treatment. The conference is a chance for parents and professionals to learn about mental health and behavior issues and get together to network, said Sonia Hinds, founder and executive director of Barstow Acres Children Center, a local non-profit organization who sponsored the conference. “When consumers are informed, we get better results.” Hinds said the annual conference started about 13 years ago, and she expects that 100 people would attend the conference this year. Hinds wanted to emphasize that “the training is free for parents” and “it is not too late to register now.” The conference would start at 8:30 a.m. and end at 4:30 p.m. on Sep. 16 and 17.

Keynote speakers include Angela Bollich and Suzanna Hillegass. Bollich is a therapist and neuropsychologist of 15 years with specialty in treating learning disabilities, ADHD and autistic disorder. Hillegass is a social worker specializing in helping couples and individuals improving their relationships. Workshop sessions include findings and updating what we know about autism spectrum disorder and ADHD, healing your marriage or committed relationship, anger management and emotional regulation and emotional IQ for kids, and helping youth and adults to solve their conflicts themselves. For vendors and working professionals, admission fee is $85 per day. Box lunches are available for purchase at $10 per day. According to Hinds, Barstow Acres Children Center “provides individual, group, family therapy, play therapy and therapeutic art activities for healing.” The center also offers “a therapeutic summer day camp” and “learning opportunities and experience for university interns earning a graduate-level degree in counseling.”

Southern Marylander You Should Know JOSH DEGUZMAN

By David Spigler Contributing Writer

COMMUNITY VOLUNTEER AND SOON TO BE EAGLE SCOUT

This week’s story is about the most amazing young man I have met here in Southern Maryland! Josh DeGuzman is a fifteen year old sophomore at Patuxent High School here in Lusby. I recently learned of a project that he put together to meet a requirement to earn his Eagle Scout rank as a Boy Scout in Troop 427 here in Calvert County. He made a presentation at Our Lady Star of the Sea a month ago asking for support to help complete a fence to separate the school yard from the public parking lot shared by the Parish during school days and Sunday masses. When I returned from being out of town for two weeks, I was astonished to see the finished project this Scout had accomplished in such a short amount of time! It is quite an achievement and I knew I wanted to talk with him and learn more about his motivation as I knew it would make for a good story! Josh was born in St. Mary’s Hospital and has lived in the same home in Drum Point his entire life. His parents are both employed at Patuxent River; his dad Armando is a retired Marine helicopter pilot now working as a Safety Officer and his mother Susan is an aerospace engineer. His younger brother David is thirteen and is also a Boy Scout and helped him with this project. They are a very close, tight knit family that do many things together. They are into outdoor activities involving boating and camping. They live in a house on the waterfront and Josh enjoys water sports such as wake boarding, knee boarding, wake surfing, and tubing. He is also into learning various survival skills and martial arts and has become proficient in “Krav Maga” and “Aikido”. Yikes, I never heard of these forms and I had to have Josh spell them for me! And during his freshman year at Patuxent High, he lettered on the varsity Tennis, Golf, and Swimming Teams while attaining almost all “A”s on his report card. Whew! I am exhausted just writing about all these attributes! At this point in our interview I am beginning to wonder where he finds the time for all of these pursuits. It reminds me of the old adage, “If you want something done, give it to a busy person”! I wanted to know more about his wonderful Eagle Scout project, so I had Josh tell me why he picked this particular effort. He said he was searching for a meaningful job that he was capable of performing and decided to approach his Pastor, Monsignor Mike Wilson last Fall to learn if there were any jobs within the Parish that needed to be

accomplished? The good Padre suggested a fence between the playground area and the parking lot to provide an extra measure of safety for the students. Josh put together a plan and approached the Boy Scout leadership with the idea to learn if it qualified as a worthy project for his Eagle Scout Award. It was soon approved and he started to put his plans in motion. He knew he would need a considerable sum of money just for the material required to construct a fence measuring over 200 feet long and set out to gain financial support for his undertaking. He received a grant from the OLSS Parish and a donation from the local Knights of Columbus Council 9258. He made his pitch to the Parish at three weekend Masses and obtained a break from Lowe’s on their advertised price for fencing products. Before you knew it, Josh had amassed over $1600 to pursue his project! Next, he needed to obtain experienced workers to help coordinate the various means for erecting a fence. He had to make plans for such things as post hole placement, number of posts and post caps and cross members to put between the posts. And he needed an auger to dig the holes and someone to operate it. Within days, he put together a crew of more than 40 volunteers that included members of the Parish, Knights of Columbus, fellow scouts, school kids, and others who heard of his idea. Josh’s team spent 6 hours a day for two days laboring in +90 degree heat to finish this work in one weekend in an effort to be ready for the school’s opening in late August! All told, over 200 volunteer man hours were expended in accomplishing this task! His mother told me an older lady who was unable to help came and watched the progress and offered lots of encouragement. I wanted to know upon finishing this job, what did he gain or learn from these efforts? He smiled and said he was at first apprehensive by the daunting task at hand, especially with directing the efforts of so many adults!!! Yes, I can understand that! Directing adult volunteers can be somewhat scary for a 15 year old. Heck, I still become intimidated when trying to motivate older volunteers in some of the events I somehow become involved in! Ever try saying No to a priest or a nun? Probably not going to happen! But he did say once they got underway, it did get much easier and he did gain confidence in himself to lead this diversified group! He also said he hopes his work might inspire other young people to become attracted to Scouting. He finds it to be a lot of fun with lots of great experiences. Josh, to see your completed project was a real surprise for me. To think you pulled it off as quickly as you did is truly amazing. It is a magnificent piece of work, one that you should be especially proud for making it happen. Your ability to “honcho” such an endeavor and motivate your sponsors and your crew is nothing short of outstanding! Finally, I asked Josh what are his plans for the future? Without flinching, he responded with his goals of earning a Mechanical Engineering degree from M.I.T.,

then becoming a Navy Officer and joining The Seals!!! He would like to do a 20 year military career like his dad, then get involved in designing military hardware as an engineer. He also states, due to his desire to be outdoors and his love for hiking, hunting, and fishing, he hopes to have a cabin in the mountains, “but I will always consider Southern Maryland to be my home”! I am confidant with great mature young people like Josh within our midst, our future is in good hands! He is the youngest subject I have ever interviewed for my stories of unsung heroes. He is really an enjoyable conversationalist! Josh, thank you for all you do!

Dave Spigler lives in Lusby at his home “Hog Heaven” with his wife Deb. He has lived in Southern Maryland since 1979 and has been recognized many times for his years of community service. He received the “Calvert You Are Beautiful Award” for 2013 and was recognized by the Knights of Columbus of Maryland with its Citizen of the Year Award in 2011. Dave was a member of the HOGETTES, the Washington Redskins Redskins’ “Biggest Fans” for 22 years. If you know of an unsung hero of Southern Maryland, contact him at spiggy@erols.com
