Critical Area To Expand In Calvert
Shop local, shop
Leonardtown!
Small Business Saturday
By Guy Leonard Staff Writer
The amount of land in Calvert protected by the critical area laws, strict regulations that govern land use and development closest to the watershed, is set to increase in several locations throughout the county, according to the latest proposed critical area expansion map. The new plan has 949 new acres brought into the critical area zone, with 188 acres removed. The net increase is 761 new acres now included in the critical area for Calvert. Breezy Point is one community that could see a significant increase in the amount of land brought into the critical zone, with several neighborhoods now being included. Many of those neighborhoods are in the limited development area (LDA), which allows some growth in the critical area. The two other portions of the critical area are divided up into the intense development area (IDA) and the most restrictive
resource conservation area (RCA). White Sands will also see more land brought into the critical area’s RCA and LDA zones, pushing out closer to Route 4. In the Chesapeake Ranch Estates there are some small increases in the expansion of the critical area expanding outwards from the area of Rousby Hall Road and Mill Creek. Property owners who find themselves brought into the critical area by the state will often find it more difficult to get permits to do work on their own land due to conflicts with regulations; property owners who remove trees on their land must usually plant new ones somewhere else in the critical area to mitigate what was taken out. Even the sizes of home roofs and impervious surfaces such as driveways and walkways.

Sheriff Calls Man’s Death “Terrible Accident” By Guy Leonard Staff Writer Calvert Sheriff Mike Evans said there appeared to be no suspicious circumstances in the death of a Great Mills man Saturday when a tree fell on him in St. Leonard and killed him. “It was a terrible accident,” Evans told The County Times. “He was under the tree and people who were there worked hard to get it off of him but he was deceased.” Evans said the victim, Ernesto Cendana, 43, was killed instantly. Lt. Tim Fridman said Cendana owned his own tree removal service and had gone to St. Leonard to cut down a tree at a homeowner’s property on Wagner Street. The homeowner was doing chores as Cendana was cutting the tree down when
a mail carrier knocked on the homeowner’s door to tell him that the tree he had cut down was blocking the road way. The mail carrier also said she saw what looked like someone under the tree, Fridman said. They used a jack to try to lift the tree off of Cendana; it had impacted on his chest. “They found no signs of life,” Fridman said. Emergency medical personnel declared Cendana dead on the scene. Cendana was taken to the Chief Medical Examiner’s Office in Baltimore for an autopsy, Fridman said. guyleonard@countytimes.net

Survey Shows Reduced Rockfish Spawn
By Guy Leonard Staff Writer
A report released this week by the state’s Department of Natural Resources (DNR) shows that the annual reproduction of striped bass, also more commonly known as rockfish, is much lower than average. The striped bass index, the average number of rockfish caught that are less than one year old in the Juvenile Striped Bass Survey, came in at just 2.2 for 2016, far less than the 63-year average of 11.7. “While this year’s striped bass index is disappointing, it is not a concern unless we observe poor spawning in multiple, consecutive years,” said David Blazer, the fishing and boating services director for DNR. “Very successful spawning years, as recently as 2011 and 2015, should more than compensate for this below-average year.” Striped bass are among the iconic species of fish in the Chesapeake Bay watershed, particularly as a game fish. State officials say that fish who return to fresh water to spawn, such as rockfish, experienced lower reproduction rates in 2016; this may be due to dryer weather conditions and low river levels, natural resources of-
ficials stated. Spring surveys showed that there were normal numbers of striped bass females in spawning grounds but eggs and later larval stages found it difficult to survive in tough environmental conditions, according to DNR. The state started monitoring the health of the striped bass population back in 1954 when their stocks were well below the historical average. Records from DNR show that from 1972 through 1992 rockfish spawns fell to dangerously low levels; state officials stated that bad years of spawning are usually offset by previous or later years of better species reproduction. DNR expects the stronger levels of spawning in recent years to better support the fishery despite this year’s relatively poor numbers. guyleonard@countytimes.net
Hogan Appoints Robyn Riddle Calvert District Court Judge Governor Larry Hogan has announced the appointments of Mark Boyer to the Washington County Circuit Court, Jeannie Cho and Deb Dwyer to the Montgomery County Circuit Court, and Robyn Riddle to the Calvert County District Court. The governor made the appointments after reviewing nominees from current and previous judicial nominating commissions. “After conducting a thorough vetting process, I am confident that Mr. Boyer, Ms. Dwyer, Ms. Cho, and Ms. Riddle are the most qualified candidates to fill these
vacancies,” said Governor Hogan. “Each individual has demonstrated an exemplary understanding and commitment to the law – they will serve as strong advocates for justice and the people in their communities.” Riddle is an attorney with the law office of Cumberland & Early, LLC. From 1992 to 2011, she served as an assistant state’s attorney in Calvert and St. Mary’s counties. Riddle holds a B.A. in political science from the University of Maryland. She obtained her J.D. from the University of Baltimore School of Law.
In the blink of an eye it can happen. A deer darts out from the trees. The natural instinct in drivers is to cut the steering wheel and slam on the brakes. These actions could be deadly. The Maryland Department of Transportation’s State Highway Administration (SHA) is offering autumn driving tips to reduce the chance encounter with a white-tailed deer during the “rut,” or deer mating season. “This is the season that deer become extremely active and present significant danger to drivers and passengers,” said SHA Administrator Gregory C. Johnson, P.E. “Some of the most serious crashes can occur when drivers swerve to miss deer crossing the road.” Here are some tips for limiting a chance of a vehicle-deer collision: Never “VEER” for deer. Making sudden sharp turns is dangerous as it could place a driver in the path of on-coming traffic or cause your vehicle to strike a fixed object such as a tree or utility pole. Be familiar with deer behavior. If you see one deer, chances are good that there
are more to follow. Deer travel in herds. Be familiar with known deer areas, often marked with deer crossing warning signs. Be aware of your surroundings. Deer often feed between sunset and sunrise and often live in forested areas or rural regions near watersheds. Stay alert. When traveling through a known deer crossing area, slow down, keep both hands on the wheel and eyes on the road. Drive carefully at night. Use your high beams where possible and when there is no oncoming traffic. High beams illuminate a wider area. Clean your windows and ensure all exterior vehicle lighting is operational. A clear windshield will help you see greater distances. Using peripheral vision. Scan each side of the road and in the distance for movement. Should you strike a deer, never approach an injured animal. Pull to a safe location with hazard lights on and call the police. Drive safely this fall.
Deer Mating Season is beginning; Use Extra Caution Driving

The College of Southern Maryland Board of Trustees has launched a national search for the institution’s fifth President due to the pending retirement of President Dr. Bradley M. Gottfried. The board is seeking an experienced educational leader and administrator with a track record of being visionary, innovative, collaborative and inspirational. “The search will focus on selecting the best candidate who will build upon the success and academic excellence that is the legacy of CSM’s previous presidents,” said Board Chair Dorothea Holt Smith. “The next leader of the college will have the opportunity to lead and inspire a talented and dedicated team of faculty and staff.” CSM’s Board of Trustees has appointed a search committee, chaired by trustee Michael L. Middleton and comprised of representatives from the board, the CSM Foundation, faculty, alumni and the La Plata, Leonardtown and Prince Frederick campuses. Additionally, focus groups with each of the college’s County Advisory Councils in Calvert, Charles and St. Mary’s counties and information sessions with college employees have been held to prepare the presidential profile and preferred qualifications. This information is available at the college’s presidential search web site, www. csmd.edu/presidentialsearch and applications will be accepted for the position until Dec. 15, 2016. CSM is a comprehensive regional community college in Southern Maryland and serving more than 25,000 credit and continuing education students at its campuses in Leonardtown, La Plata and Prince Frederick and its other facilities including a shared facility with University of Maryland University College—the Waldorf Center for Higher Education—and the Center for Transportation Training in La Plata. A new regional campus is located on 74 acres in Hughesville with the college’s new Center for Trades and Energy Training (CTET) to be the initial facility. The 30,000-square-foot CTET, to include labs, classrooms and administrative space, is expected to be operational by spring 2017. The second phase for the Regional Campus will be the construction of a
state-of-the-art health sciences building and other proposed phases could include a fine arts building, a field house and relocation of the college’s athletic fields. Located close to Washington, D. C. and Baltimore, CSM has an annual enrollment of over 25,000 credit and non-credit students. With more than 50 guaranteed articulation agreements, students can start locally and transfer seamlessly to the college of their choice. Last year 1,762 CSM students transferred to 226 different colleges and universities in 45 states and the District of Columbia. Destinations include Maryland universities and other highly regarded schools across the nation. Since established in 1958, CSM has experienced incredible growth in enrollment, physical facilities, program offerings and impact with the college serving as an economic engine for the 350,000 residents of Southern Maryland with a variety of affordable academic, technical and vocational programs. Services to the business community include the Corporate Center’s customized training, the region’s Small Business Development Center and a new Entrepreneur and Innovation Institute. The college is also a hub for much of the area’s social, cultural and wellness activities. Reporting directly to a nine-member board of trustees who are appointed by the Governor to four-year terms, the president is the college’s chief executive officer and serves as the secretary-treasurer for the college’s active foundation. The board seeks a person who will continue to energetically pursue alignment with its mission, vision and values to foster fiscal responsibility, encourage diversity and inspire student success and completion. The successful candidate will possess outstanding communication skills necessary to preserve and enhance partnerships with industry, community and other educational institutions while overseeing and inspiring the college’s employees.

Calvert’s County’s Own Commander Patricia McCoy Leader of The State of Maryland American Legion Organization By David Spigler Contributing Writer On July 15, 2016, Commander Patricia McCoy, a resident of St. Leonard, was elected Commander of the Department of Maryland American Legion at the annual American Legion Convention in Ocean City. This significant achievement to head the 53,000 legionnaires throughout the state is a remarkable accomplishment not only at the state level, but at the national level as well. This position of leadership is seldom achieved by lady veterans who previously were not provided an opportunity to reach these levels within this great veteran organization. Only once before has a woman been elected to head the Maryland contingent. Known to fellow members and friends throughout Calvert County as “Pat”, she has travelled extensively to all areas of the county in her former role as county commander to support the four Legion Posts located here. With her new position, she will now travel the entire State to support and serve 138 American Legion Posts scattered throughout all 23 Counties. Pat is sharp, intelligent individual with an outgoing personality. When coupled with an enormous commitment to “service”, she provided many thousands of hours of volunteer work to the community during more
than 30 years of association with this charitable, fraternal organization. Her life’s experiences formed her strong motivation to help others, a characteristic upon which her wonderful reputation has been built. Pat was not raised here, but found her way to “God’s Country” as a result of her military service. Born in Asheville, North Carolina, Pat considered herself a country girl with dreams of seeing the world. Upon graduation from high school in 1971, Pat immediately saw her Navy recruiter and found herself attending Navy “boot camp” at Naval Training Center in Bainbridge, Maryland. Like many young people her age, she could not wait to get away from home and saw the Navy as the means to “escape”. The Navy in the early 70’s was a much different world then today’s military where a female sailor can go to sea on an aircraft carrier or pilot our latest, most sophisticated attack airplane. A young woman’s choices and opportunities back then were very limited and not all that exciting. Following completion of Basic Training, Pat was assigned to the staff at Bainbridge and became involved with instructing female recruits not much younger than herself.
In time she was advanced to seaman and fell in love with a young man. Later, she became pregnant, however strict Naval regulations at the time would not permit a pregnant female to remain on active duty so, despite her desires, she was honorably discharged from active duty. Not long after, Admiral Elmo Zumwalt, the Chief of Naval Operations commenced a series of changes that included radical improvement of equality for females and opened many of the formerly closed ratings [occupations] to women. But, alas, it was too late for Pat as she was building her family and getting on with her life. Pat has always enjoyed working with people and especially our military veterans. Not long after being discharged, she decided to join the American Legion as a means of staying close to the military. She states often in conversations with others, “It
is like you are still serving on active duty”. She loved the camaraderie of the Legionnaires and how they came together to help provide aid and support so many causes within the county. Pat gets great pleasure seeing men and women of all five military services, including active duty, former members and retirees coming together in working for the common good. Since attending her first fundraisers and bull roasts at Legion Post 206 in Chesapeake Beach as a young legionnaire, She has never stopped giving of herself to this group. She chaired many events in the early years, then accepted the role of Post Historian for four years. Following that assignment, she served as service officer, then was elected to the number two position as the post first vice commander where she was responsible for many post activities including filling in for the post commander in his absence.

In 1998, Pat was elected post commander, a role she went on to hold four times. She was the first female to hold this position for this large organization and her early successes have established her reputation as a trendsetter. She next served two terms as the Calvert County commander responsible for all the members at the four legion posts within the County. She became very popular with legionnaires throughout Southern Maryland for her uncanny ability to “get the job done”. Her charming personality and beautiful smile can fool you though as she can be a “tough cookie” when the time comes to rolling up the sleeves to accomplish the tough tasks. But that tough side of

her is seldom seen as she has learned how to motivate people through her own good example. Through her great reputation, many years of dedication and her strong will and devotion, Pat surprised no one when she rose to become the American Legion’s Department of Maryland Second Vice Officer, a position that placed her in line to become the next head of the American Legion here in Maryland. This is a remarkable accomplishment for any Legionnaire, but is especially significant that a dynamic woman from Calvert County rose completely through the ranks here and now holds the highest position in the state.
Feature Story
Governor Larry Hogan recently appointed Pat to the World War I Centennial Committee, another new role she is truly looking forward to. She is pleased to be able to continue to serve her country in these capacities for it gives her an even greater opportunity to share with others all the wonderful contributions and services the members of American Legion provide their communities. Throughout her life, Pat has been proud to represent her county, Southern Maryland and, for the past three months, her state. She shared that her love of her community here is due to the many great friendships she has formed as well as the very supportive nature of our local citizens. She believes folks here, more than anywhere else, reach out to help one another when in

need. Finally, asked when she looks back at her life’s work was there anything else that makes her smile, she immediately responded “I am proud to be a Navy veteran”. Commander Pat, we know we speak for many of your friends and neighbors here when we say how proud we are of you and your years of commitment to helping your fellow citizens. Congratulations on this richly deserved honor and achievement. We salute you for your great service. Thank you so much for all you do.

The loss of her was more than his heart could bear. He is survived by their two daughters, Rose Marie Barger and Bonnie Jean Bajrak. He was the proud grandfather “Pop Pop” of Nicholas Barger and wife, Cara Barger, James Lubonski II, Shayne Barger, Brittany Moran and husband, Kevin Moran, and great-grandfather of Shayne Barger Jr. and Mya Barger. He loved spending time with his grandchildren. He also enjoyed collecting coins and had a passion for firearms. He taught his four grandchildren how to shoot a BB gun as soon as they were big enough to hold one. He took great pride in keeping his yard immaculate, and could fix just about everything. Charlie was preceded in death by his parents. He is survived by his, daughters, sons-in-law, Adam Bajrak and Bradley Hewick, sister, Bonnie Canter, brother-inlaw, Sonny Canter, a special Aunt that was more of a sister, Lucy Gates, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews and many other relatives and friends.

Anita Louise (Sabatine) Jazwinski Comes now Anita, o Lord, into your arms from whence she came. Anita Louise (Sabatine) Jazwinski, born October 11, 1937, saw her 79th birthday and passed into His hands on October 15, 2016. She was born in the Italian American borough of Pen Argyl, Pennsylvania to Philip Martin and Linda (Dally) Sabatine, who predeceased her. She had two siblings, Marlene, who predeceased her, and Philip John now residing in Boston, Massachusetts. Anita was quite an extrovert. Her parents owned an Inne in the Poconos and her father ran a record machine route as well. She helped out by waitressing at the Inne, even on her holidays from college, and because of her father’s music record business, she knew most of the popular music of the 40’s and 50’s by heart. Anita graduated from Stroudsburg High School in 1955, where she was engaged in many activities and was a very popular majorette. She then attended The Pennsylvania State University, majoring in Theater Arts, and graduated with a BA degree in 1959. It was at Penn State that Anita met Andrew Honore Jazwinski, whom she married in 1959. After graduation, the couple took a honeymoon swing through the US, and on to Pasadena, California where Andrew pursued graduate work in Geophysics at CalTech,
while Anita worked and earned a PhT (putting hubby through). The couple moved back east in the early 60’s, following Andrew’s career, residing in Bowie, Maryland. When he founded a technology consulting company, Anita worked as its Office Manager and Accountant for some 10 years. The couple had two children, Julie Helena and Elizabeth Lynne, both now married and residing in Calvert County, and is also survived by three granddaughters, two grandsons and one great granddaughter. Anita retired after the couple built a home in Calvert County in 1979. Here, she became very much involved in County politics as an Activist. For a number of years she filmed meeting of the Calvert County Commissioners for viewing on Cable. As a fierce independent conservative, she was well known throughout the County for holding the Commissioners’ feet to the fire and publishing Letters to the Editor in local newspapers on the issues of the day. For several years she published articles under the pen name, Teo Da Linda. Anita loved life, nature and her gardens. She had many interests and hobbies. She enjoyed ice-skating, downhill skiing, tennis, swimming, canoeing, cooking, baking, photography, reading, writing, history and politics. She loved to celebrate Christmas, making family holiday dinners a tradition. She loved her family deeply and she loved her Poconos, where she was born and raised. Anita was a fighter and survivor. She was a 14-year stage-3A non-small-cell lung cancer survivor. In that battle, she received chemo and radiation several times, to shrink the tumor, and then thoracic surgery. Her lungs were damaged by the radiation, and as a result she lost most of her right lung and suffered some damage to the left, healthy lung. Unfortunately, radiation to the chest damaged her coronary arteries. She suffered a ‘widow maker’ heart attack in December 2014, which she miraculously survived with stenting. But she was severely handicapped and on oxygen. Then in late September 2016 she had another heart attack, fell and broke her right hip. She again fought and miraculously survived a complex double stenting operation with heart-lung machine assist, and then a partial hip replacement. Sadly, Anita’s body could no longer support life, and she died peacefully on October 15, 2016 at 8:52PM surrounded by her family. She is now pain free and at peace with God.
Georgetta June Hall Georgetta June Hall, 100, of St. Leonard, MD passed away on October 15, 2016 at her residence. Born June 19, 1916 in Bargersville, IN, she was the daughter of the late Clyde Polley and Pearl True (Green) Polley. Georgetta moved from Seabrook, MD to Calvert County in 1961. Georgetta is survived by her sons, Dallen Hall of St. Leonard, MD and Mark S. Hall of Washington, DC; fourteen grandchildren; twenty great grandchildren; two great-great grandchildren; and daughters in law, Ada Hall of St. Leonard and Carol Hall of Lothian, MD. Georgetta was preceded in death by her husband Winslow Coleman Hall, whom she married in Washington, DC on August 22, 1945; and sons, Lewis C. Hall and Daryl W. Hall.

Letters to the Editor Dear Friends and Neighbors, On behalf of the Harriet Elizabeth Brown Commemoration Task Force, I am pleased to invite you to join with us to dedicate the Harriet Elizabeth Brown Memorial Parkway: Tuesday, November 1, 2016, 2:00 p.m. Mount Hope Community Center 104 Pushaw Station Road, Sunderland, MD 20689 Just off Route 2 Light Refreshments No RSVP Necessary This dedication marks successful completion of the second of the three recommendations of the Harriet Elizabeth Brown Commemoration Task Force. The first recommendation – to name the new community center in Prince Frederick the Harriet Elizabeth Brown Community Center – has already been accomplished. Harriet Elizabeth Brown was a Calvert County civil rights pioneer who was instrumental in ensuring pay equity for public school teachers regardless of race. In 1937, as a 30-year-old teacher, Ms. Brown and her 29-year-old NAACP attorney, Thurgood Marshall, successfully used the 14th Amendment to challenge Calvert County Public Schools for paying African-American teachers about half of what equally qualified white teachers earned. Just two days after Christmas, on December 27, 1937, the Calvert County Board of Education settled Ms. Brown’s case, agreeing to equalize salaries. Ms. Brown’s case was a turning point for pay equity for AfricanAmerican teachers. You can download the Task Force Report from http://dlslibrary. state.md.us/publications/counties/calvert/ HB354Ch242_2015.pdf It is especially meaningful to hold this dedication at Mount Hope Community Center. Before being converted to a community center, this building was Mount Hope Elementary School, where Ms. Brown was a long-time teacher and principal. The current building replaced the original frame Mount Hope Elementary School some time after Ms.
Brown’s 1937 case. If you have a picture of Mount Hope Elementary School as it looked in 1937, when Mr. Brown’s case was settled, please contact me. We would like to include a copy in our official Task Force records! We especially invite former students of Ms. Brown to this dedication. When you sign in, please ask for a special “Former Student of Harriet Elizabeth Brown” name badge. We will be joined at the November 1 dedication by many of our state and local officials, as well as one of the three-feet by ten-feet (!) highway signs that will designate the newly named Harriet Elizabeth Brown Memorial Parkway. We thank our partners, including: The Brown Family Calvert County Branch, NAACP Calvert County Commission for Women Calvert County Historical Society Calvert County Public School System Calvert County League of Women Voters Calvert Community Foundation College of Southern Maryland Mount Hope Community Center & the Calvert County Division of Parks and Recreation We appreciate the cooperation of the Maryland Department of Transportation, which helped us navigate the approval process to dedicate this portion of Route 2 to Ms. Brown. Finally, I invite you to support the third and final Task Force recommendation – to commission a portrait of Harriet Elizabeth Brown to hang in the Calvert County Court House – by making a tax-deductible contribution to the Harriet Elizabeth Brown Commemoration Fund. Donations of any amount will help us reach our goal! Attached is a contributions form with the details. With best wishes, Margaret Dunkle Chair Harriet Elizabeth Brown Commemoration Task Force
