Commissioners Nix Calvert Shores Referendum By Dick Myers Staff Writer
The Calvert County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) has rejected a referendum on the creation of a new town called Calvert Shores in the Lusby area. The decision at the Aug. 1 BOCC meeting was on a 4-0 vote, with Commissioner Mike Hart abstaining from the discussion because he owns a business in the area planned for incorporation. The decision comes a year after the BOCC voted to reject the incorporation. But, enough signatures were submitted on a petition according to state law that required the BOCC to reconsider. Their arguments against the referendum were largely the same as a year ago. County staff had presented them with a memo that also recommended against the referendum. The staff report submitted by Director of Communications and Media Relations (and former economic development director) Linda Vassallo said, “All residents and businesses within the proposed area to incorporate will see an increase in taxes (net 0.281 cents). Whether the fees (POACRE or STD) remain or are eliminated will only affect those currently required to pay the fees.” Several of the commissioners used the tax rationale in their argument, especially noting that taxes would also rise for residents outside the incorporated town, to make up for lost revenue to the county. Of the idea of incorporation, Commissioner Vice President Evan Slaughenhoupt, Jr., said, “There is no benefit to those outside CRE (Chesapeake Ranch Estates) and the rest of the county.” Slaughenhoupt, Jr. also addressed the “right to vote” issue. He said that the U.S. Constitution does not guarantee the right to vote but only, through tree amendments, prohibits discrimination in voting due to race, sex or age. At one point, Slaughenhoupt even quoted the new constitution of the Czech Republic in debunking the argument that residents were guaranteed the right to vote on incorporation. Commissioner Steve Weems said the main motivator for the incorporation effort, CR’s road situation, was created in the 1950s and predated the county’s first attempt at a zoning ordinance. He said the growth that hit the county in the 1990s, that caused the county to have to build a school a year, also hit CRE. The county’s solution to dealing with the community’s road problems was
the imposition of a Special Taxing District for roads there. Weems said he would initiate meetings with the residents to try to come up with solutions to their problems. Commissioner Pat Nutter also said he would arrange to meet with residents. Nutter said of the BOCC decision, “We did our homework very well on this.” Nutter took umbrage with some of the testimony at the July 11 public hearing at Patuxent High School that charged that CRE wasn’t getting any services from the county. Nutter noted the roads the residents traveled to attend the meeting were county roads, and that the county provided school, police and fire and rescue services. Nutter. as did several of the commissioners, questioned the adding of land outside CRE, especially several shopping centers, into to the proposed new town. Nutter singled out the county golf course, that is paid for by country taxpayers. Nutter, who was raised in North Beach and worked in both North and Chesapeake Beach as a law enforcement and zoning official, said it would cost the new town millions of dollars to provide police protection. Nutter said he talked to people outside CRE but within the proposed incorporated area, and he said they told him they “don’t want to be in it.” Commissioner President Ton Hejl agreed with Nutter. “None of us took this issue lightly,” he said. He also enumerated the services that the county now provides and criticized the size of the proposal Calvert Shores. “I find the mapping very disturbing,” he said. After the vote, Chairperson of the Calvert Shores Organizing Committee Cathy Zumbrun said, “While we are not surprised, we continue to be disappointed in denying our right to vote. Despite comments you have researched this, many of your reasons for opposing this are refuted in documents, such as the outside of CRE homes, the Fiscal Issues report states we plan to rebate the $78/year back to them. Including the business district was based on recommendations from the MD Municipal League and Chesapeake and North Beaches.” Zumbrun said she hoped the commissioners would work with the community to solve its problems. If that doesn’t happen, she reminded the commissioners, “We’ll see what happens in the next election.” dickmyers@countytimes.net
The Calvert County Board of License Commissioners (liquor board) has approved a license for a special event venue in St. Leonard. The approval of the Class D OnSale Beer, Wine and Liquor license was unanimous at their July 27 meeting. The new business is called Lash Bartenders and Rustic Wedding Collection. Applicant Cathy St. John told the board that she had been operating her event business out of a storefront in St. Leonard and had a showroom to display her services. She said the space next store, at 4865 St. Leonard Road (across from SPOT Thrift Shop) was available. She said she saw a need for a space for small receptions and events with about 40-50 people maximum. She said she would more than likely only hold a few events a month there. “I don’t know of others who do small events,” she said. John Swoap, who works at the Tavern just down the street, expressed concern about the new license. He said that St. Leonard only had 11 businesses and four of them had liquor licenses. He wondered what the need was for a fifth. Swoap is the husband of liquor board member Beth Swoap, who recused herself from the hearing and vote because of that connection. John Swoap said several people he knew had attended a reception at the showroom of the new business that was advertised on
Facebook as offering free food and drink. He said those attendees told him the drinks were free but the servers said a tip was required. St. John, who deemed the people Swoap referred to as “spies,” and several other witnesses denied that assertion. St. John worked for both Stoney’s in Prince Frederick and Vera’s White Sands and had worked her way up to manager of both during her total of 16 years at the two establishments. She said she was a stickler for managing the serving of alcohol; during her time at Vera’s she prohibited bartenders from drinking. “I am probably the strictest in the county,” she said about her attitude about responsible serving. St. John’s father Thomas said, “Casey truly turned around Vera’s business operation.” He said since she started her own business in 2016, “what she has accomplished has been amazing.” The board unanimously approved the license before Swoap had a chance to express his concerns but allowed him to speak and then reaffirmed the decision At the meeting Chairman Robert Arscott introduced the county’s first full-time license inspector, Michael Stevens. Arscott said Calvert was the last county in the state to hire a full-time liquor inspector. Stevens had 24years experience with the Maryland State Police and nine years as a civilian staffer at the sheriff’s office before taking the new position. dickmyers@countytimes.net

Del. Mark Fisher (R: District 27C) talked about the ack of health care insurance competition I his latest blog to constituents: ”Maryland’s largest health insurer, CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield, announced a 50% increase of health in-
“Meanwhile, Anne Arundel Medical Center (AAMC) threatened to end its contract with CareFirst over reimbursement rates. CareFirst controls 70% of the insurance business in Maryland.
“AAMC’s Chief Medical Officer commented that AAMC “Can’t continue to provide the care we’d like to at the [reimbursement] rates suggested by CareFirst.” “If no deal is struck, then everyone insured by CareFirst will be required to pay out-of-network prices at all AAMC facilities - including Anne Arundel Medical Center (the hospital). “Herein lies the conundrum: CareFirst is squeezing doctors out of business by reducing reimbursements to them while at the same time, increasing insurance premiums on consumers. “This is what happens when there’s little competition in the Insurance Industry.”
‘Reforms’ Announced to Vehicle Emissions Inspection Program
Paul & Donna Wilson
Gerald Van DeVelde & Rene Cunningham
Richard & Claire Piason
Governor Larry Hogan has announced regulatory reforms that will save Maryland taxpayers time and money, as well as protect the health of our environment, through common sense changes to the Motor Vehicle Administration’s (MVA) Vehicle Emissions Inspection Program (VEIP). The changes include extending initial VEIP inspections for new vehicles by one year. This announcement implements a recommendation from the governor’s Regulatory Reform Commission’s 2016 report released in December. The 2016 report tasked the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) and Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT) to amend VEIP regulations to expand the use of emerging technologies and provide opportunities to enact driver-friendly improvements. “Our administration remains committed to enacting common sense solutions that provide increased value for Maryland taxpayers and improve customer service, while protecting the health of our environment,” said Governor Hogan. “This change will put more than $2 million back into the pockets of Maryland taxpayers and maintain critical environmental protections.” Numerous advancements in vehicle technology over the years have allowed for streamlined VEIP regulations. For example, computerized on-board diagnostic testing is now occurring on the overwhelming majority of vehicles in Maryland. By extending the initial VEIP inspection for new vehicles by one year, new vehicles will have to complete the initial inspection within 36 months. Currently, new vehicle owners must complete the initial test within two years. All pre1996 model year light duty vehicles (cars and light trucks) would also be exempt from VEIP inspections. An onboard diagnostic test will continue to be conducted on 1996 and newer light-duty vehicles, as well as 2008 and newer medium and heavy-duty vehicles. “These
targeted improvements for vehicle emissions testing increase customer convenience, while maintaining our progress on air quality and the Chesapeake Bay,” said Maryland Department of the Environment Secretary Ben Grumbles. Approximately 1.6 million vehicles are inspected annually as part of VEIP. If the revised regulations are implemented, an anticipated 209,000 vehicles would be delayed for the initial inspection in 2018, a figure expected to stay constant in future years. Additionally, approximately 24,000 pre-1996 light duty vehicles would be exempt in the first year. The VEIP program is required by the federal Clean Air Act to reduce ground-level ozone air pollution. Nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds react with sunlight to produce ground-level ozone. Modeling shows reductions of those substances attributable to the VEIP program to be about 10 tons per day. These proposed regulatory reforms are the latest move by the Hogan administration to make the VEIP process more customer-friendly. Between August 2015 and October 2016, the state installed 10 new, convenient VEIP self-service kiosks that are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Jointly administered by MVA and MDE, the kiosks allow Maryland vehicle owners to test vehicle emissions at their own convenience and at a reduced price of $10 compared to $14 at the test stations. The regulations will be submitted to Maryland General Assembly’s Joint Committee on Administrative, Executive, and Legislative Review (AELR). When implemented, the enhancements will take effect January 1, 2018. In addition to taxpayer savings, the regulatory change will also save the state approximately $90,000 annually in reduced mailing and credit card fees. From Office of Gov. Larry Hogan

Infant’s Death Under Investigation Maryland State Police Report
By Guy Leonard Staff Writer
Maryland State Police investigators are releasing few details regarding the death of an eight-month-old boy in Lusby and are awaiting the results of an autopsy by the Chief Medical Examiner’s Office in Baltimore. Police would not confirm whether foul play was involved in the child’s death, nor who found the infant dead in the family home. “Anytime there’s an infant found deceased they go through a process of investigation,” said Elena Russo, spokesperson
for the state police. Russo said it was unclear when the autopsy on the boy would be completed. Initial police reports stated the infant died Sunday morning; state police, sheriff’s deputies and emergency medical personnel responded to the home after a 911 call but were unable to revive the child. A forensic investigator from the medical examiner’s office also responded to the home, state police said, and detectives from the Criminal Enforcement Division took the lead on the case. guyleonard@countytimes.net

The Tackle Box Fishing Report By Ken and Linda Lamb Contributing Writers Rockfish, cobia, spot, croaker, blues, mackerel, and perch are all hot even as the weather has cooled and the winds have calmed. Before the big storm, the Potomac erupted with rockfish in the 22- to 32- inch range in the upper regions from the Wicomico River to Morgantown in the shallows allowing lure caters to fill their coolers with hefty rockfish and an occasional red fish. Mixed in are white perch large enough to take a lure meant for far bigger fish. Trollers and chummers are finding rockfish in the Potomac. Good-sized rockfish (and plenty just under the 20-inch minimum) are in the Patuxent for lure-casters in the shallows at dusk and dawn. Trollers find them in the deep holes and on the oyster bars on running tides,
Spot are in both the Patuxent and Potomac in good numbers and size, Spot are in the 18- to 20-foot edges in Cedar Point Hollow. Bluefish and spanish mackerel are mixed in the ship’s channel in the bay. Trollers using planers at fast speeds are catching plenty. Cobia fishing was great before the nor’easter came in last Saturday and messed up everybody’s day. Chummers and sight-casters will have to start over to find them and the big bull reds that were charging around the mid-bay region from 72A buoy to the Target Ship and event further south. Chummers using chum logs or grinding their own and baiting with live eels will find them soon. White perch are everywhere in the creeks and rivers. Crabs are very plentiful and big! Fresh water fish is great with the fish responding to a break in the heat with big appetites.
Dexter McClendon won the big croaker contest for July with this 15 and one half inch fish from the Patuxent.

The Calvert County Department of Parks and Recreation will reopen Chesapeake Hills Golf Course’s back nine holes for play July 28. Staff closed off the holes in late June to plant and nurture new Bermuda grass. “The sprigging project has been completed and the grass is growing in nicely,” said Chesapeake Hills Golf Course Manager Tim Hepler. “Although it hasn’t reached its full potential yet, we are able to open the back nine for play.
We think our customers will be very impressed with the improvements.” Located in scenic Lusby and just minutes from historic Solomons Island, the Chesapeake Hills Golf Course offers an enjoyable and challenging experience for all golfers.

Blue Crabs Win Back and Forth Opener The Southern Maryland Blue Crabs (10-14) took the series opener against the Bridgeport Bluefish (13-11) 4-3, with Jose Lozada’s solo homerun in the bottom of the eighth serving as the difference. Both starting pitchers were strong through three innings, with just three hits total being allowed. Southern Maryland finally got to Reinier Roibal in the bottom of the fourth, putting up three runs in the frame. Edwin Garcia led-off the inning with a single, extending his hitting streak to 10 games. Two batter later, Michael Snyder doubled down the right field line, scoring Garcia from first to get the Blue Crabs on the board first. L.J. Hoes followed with a two-run homerun to left field, his first as a member of the Blue Crabs. Eric Fornataro headed back to the mound with a 3-0 lead, having allowed just three hits through his first four innings of work. The right-hander walked the first batter in the inning, before a single from Welington Dotel singled to put two men aboard. Dotel was cut down on a double steal attempt, but Daniel Fields advanced to third. Fields scored easily on the next play, a groundball to second from Tony Abreu, cutting the Blue Crabs lead to 3-1. After a scoreless sixth inning, Fornataro was lifted from the game after recording his first quality start of the season. Cody Hebner came on in relief, picking up two quick outs to start the top of the seventh. However, Fields connected on a solo shot to right field, cutting the Blue Crabs lead to just one run, a 3-2 advantage. The Bluefish rallied for a run in the top of the eighth, tying the game late. Jonathon
Galvez singled with one out, being pulled for a pinch-runner at first. D’Arby Myers followed with a ground-rule double, putting two runners in scoring position. Luis Hernandez followed with an infield single, scoring Angel Rosa from third to tie the game. Zack Thornton (2-1) picked up a 6-4-3 double play to end the inning, sending the game tied into the bottom half of the inning. Jose Lozada led off the inning with a solo homerun, putting the Blue Crabs back ahead 4-3. Lozada’s fifth homerun of the season set up the closer Cody Eppley for the top of the ninth (S,26). Eppley allowed a leadoff single, with a wild pitch advancing the runner to second.

Hoyer Announces Fourth Annual Huntingtown High Students Congressional App Challenge Win Theater Awards Today, Congressman Steny H. Hoyer (MD-05) announced the launch of the fourth annual Congressional App Challenge for high school students in Maryland’s Fifth Congressional District. Established by the U.S. House of Representatives in 2013, the Congressional App Competition is a nationwide event that invites students from all Congressional districts to compete, either individually or in a group of up to four, by creating and presenting an original software application, or “app,” for a mobile, tablet, or computer platform of their choice. The contest, modeled off the long-successful Congressional Art Competition, is designed to promote innovation and engagement in the STEM education fields. “I am delighted to launch the fourth annual App Challenge, an exciting opportunity for students in the Fifth District to showcase their programming capabilities,” said Congressman Hoyer. “The Congressional App Challenge is an excellent opportunity for students to get hands-on experience testing and building apps. With computer scientists in high demand in Maryland and across the country, we must do everything we can to encourage students to explore the field of computer science, and work to eliminate shortages of high quality candidates.
I look forward to seeing the work produced by students in the Fifth District.” The Congressional App Challenge is open to all high school students who live in or are eligible to attend public schools located in Maryland’s Fifth Congressional District. Students entering the competition must submit source code along with a YouTube or VIMEO video that explains and demonstrates their app and what they learned through the competition process. The final deadline for submissions for the 2017 competition is November 1, 2017. Students are encouraged to register and begin work on their projects as soon as possible. Students are also encouraged to chronicle their progress on social media using the hashtag #CAC17. The winning individual or team will be recognized at an awards ceremony with Congressman Hoyer, featured on Hoyer.House.gov and CongressionalAppChallenge.us, and the winning app will be placed on display in the U.S. Capitol alongside winners from across the country. More details on registering, submitting a contest entry, the rules of the competition, and helpful programming resources can be found here or at CongressionalAppChallenge.us. Press Release

The Mill Bridge Dogs:
Controversy Swirls Around Alleged Breeding Operation By Dick Myers Staff Writer It’s August. The Dog Days of Summer. According to Wikipedia, it’s the hottest time of the year, a tine that among other things, makes “dogs mad.” Surely, it’s not a time for dogs, or humans for that matter, to be out in the sun for long periods of time. Yet that is the fate of many dogs who are tied up 24/7, hidden from view in the backyards of Southern Maryland. (Note: The cover photo of this issue is from the PETA Latina website in a section that deals with chained dogs, and is used with permission). This is a story about a group of those dogs who have been dubbed the Mill Bridge Dogs. They live outside 24/7 (in the Dog Days of Summer and the dead of winter) at two homes along Mill Bridge Road, a rural road on the west side of Routes 2/4 in Lusby. Those dogs have recently become the center of a controversy between neighbors and animal advocates, and Calvert County and its Animal Control (AC) agency. The controversy has been brewing for almost three years. In 2014, Jackie Miesner, a neighbor of the two houses on Mill Bridge Road, complained to AC about the conditions of the dogs living there. Meisner contends, as do a number of representatives of animal welfare organizations in the county, that’s there’s a breeding operation going on at the two houses, with dogs being interchanged between the two, with dogs from one being bred to dogs from the other. In December of 2014, Meisner elicited the aid of Ellen McCormick Ament, president of Southern Maryland Spay and Neuter, Inc., a non-profit organization that operates the Stop Pet Overpopulation Thrift shop (SPOT) in St. Leonard. Ament, who is a humane officer, said Meisner told her about “dogs tied up outside with lousy shelter and underweight and (with) overly heavy chains.” Ament also complained to AC officers, who told her everything was alright there. Ament’s organization, which provides low-cost spay/neuter services from the proceeds of the thrift shop, supplied the dogs’ owners with “dogloos, pads and dog food to get the dogs through the winter.” Ament said she brought food three more times and was told “not to come back.”
Miesner, who passes by the two houses every day, kept observing dogs outside in all types of weather. Also, a relative of hers was friendly with someone living in one of the houses and brought reports back to her about what was going on there. What was reported to her was that there was a pit bull breeding operation there. In 2016, Miesner purchased a pit bull puppy from one of the litters and the dog became her loyal pet. She kept reporting what she saw to AC. This spring she observed what she felt were continuing conditions which she felt constituted cruelty to the animals. She and Calvert County Animal Control Supervisor Craig Dichter began a series of back and forth emails on the situation. On March 24, she wrote to Dichter: “My only concern is these dogs. These people have no heart. I see it every day.” Miesner’s daughter also complained. Miesner wrote on March 29: “We are both very passionate about animals, one because they are defenseless (and. they are) ignorant people and two, no animal should suffer because of their owner’s selfishness and senseless care of these animals.” Dichter responded on March 29, “All I can tell you is the officer is still actively checking on this case. As soon as I can provide more information I will. As for what the animal needs I can only enforce the law. If they decide to surrender the animals to us, then we will take them to the shelter as I can’t give them to you.” Miesner had offered to take them. Dichter then concluded, “The hard part of his job is that we have to keep personal and professional opinions separate.” Calvert County Animal Control Regulations do give the county authority to seize animals in an alleged animal cruelty case. Miesner met with the County Times on July 21 along with representatives of a group called Calvert County Pet Coalition, which is made up of members of SPOT, Calvert County Humane Society, Calvert Animal Welfare League, Patuxent Animal Welfare Society and Friends of Felines. All except the cat organization had representatives at the meeting. The humane representatives told the County Times that the occupants of the two homes were shuttling dogs in and out to thwart AC directives. They would be told to get veterinary care for
a dog and when the officers returned, the dog would be gone, the pet coalition representatives said. Ament was contacted by Miesner again in March of this year. Ament said Miesner reported two very thin female dogs and pups being sold on Instagram. Ament also complained to AC. The occupant of one of the houses not only posted the puppy pictures on Instagram on March 3 but also the following text: “Got a master plan going right now. Another litter drop tonight or tomorrow.” Ament brought the situation to the coalition, which asked AC to investigate. Dichter then met with the group in May and according to Ament told them, “he took a picture of a mother dog to a veterinarian and that the vet said the dog was 15 pounds under weight. Said AC is working with the owners to rectify the problem.” Ament on July 10 went on the property to deliver four bags of dog food. What she saw, she said, included “emaciated dogs with fly eaten ears, two pups at large, one listless and weak, one active, pitiful shelters, and empty water bowls (noon in the summer). I take pictures but owner runs me off the property.” Ament supplied the pictures to Miesner, who posted them on Facebook. She also immediately supplied them to AC. County Commissioner Mike Hart visited the homes after the pictures hit Facebook. He was not allowed into the back yards, but a dog was brought out to him and he reported on Facebook that it looked like the dog’s ears were healing and the owner insisted the dog was getting veterinary care. Miesner contends that Hart was duped, that he was shown a different dog. A call to Hart for comment was not returned. This is a critical time for Calvert County Animal Control. Up until July 1 they were under the supervision of the sheriff’s office. With the county reorganization, on July 1 the function came under the supervision of the Office of Public Safety whose director is Jacquelyn Vaughn. Dichter and Vaughn talked to the County Times by phone on July 26. Angela Small and Mark Volland from the county’s Public Information Office were also on the conference call. During the call, Dichter insisted that there is no breeding operation going on at Mill Bridge Road. He said he knew of only one litter being produced there, and that didn’t constitute breeding.
County Animal Control regulations require a special license for breeders. Miesner points out the Instagram assertion of an additional litter and the fact that she personally purchased a pup from another litter last year as evidence of more than one litter. She said she knows a woman who used to live close enough to be able to observe what was going on at the two houses, and that she personally observed one female having three separate litters. Miesner believes there have been eight litters produced at the homes since 2014. Dichter insists that the investigation into what is going on at Mill Bridge Road is ongoing. Small said the county attorney had advised them not to talk to the County Times but they felt since the pictures were out on Facebook they should reply. Vaughn asked for patience, considering she only has had responsibility for the operation since July 1. She said the AC officers have acted on cases that the public is not aware of. Small later in the week supplied statistics that showed 84 citations issued in calendar year 2016 and 57 warnings issued. She also reported: “Animal Control officers have visited the site on Mill Bridge Road numerous times to monitor care of the dogs.” She added, “Animal Control officers have confirmed the animals are receiving proper care. There were no signs that the conditions of the animals required additional veterinary care.” Miesner and Ament are incredulous and are pondering additional options. “They should not be allowed to have any more puppies,” Miesner said. The animal advocates wonder why anyone is breeding pit bulls, considering the large number now in shelters. Meanwhile, Small during the conference call offered the County Times a ride-along at any time with AC. When the County Times asked to be able to ridealong during the next visit to Mill Bridge Road, she responded: “Due to the sensitive nature of this open case, no ride-along participant will be invited to respond to the Mill Bridge Road residence with Animal Control Officers.” dickmyers@countytimes.net

Solomons Native Keeps Navy Wing Flying By Chief Petty Officer Bill Steele Navy Office of Community Outreach
Lt. Allison Haas
A 2009 Patuxent High School graduate and Solomons, Maryland native is serving in the U.S. Navy aboard Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, the premier naval air installation in the Pacific Northwest region. Lt. Allison Haas is a pilot serving with Commander, Patrol and Reconnaissance Wing 10. She flies the P-3C Orion, which is being phased out by the new P-8A Poseidon. The P3’s mission is to hunt for submarines. “Flying the Pacific Northwest, there’s nothing like it,” said Haas. “The views and mountains are fantastic.” According to Navy officials, Wing 10 has continued to fly combat missions in direct support of the troops on the ground and delivered traditional maritime capabilities, real-time intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance. Beginning in the 1960s, the P-3C Orion, a land-based, long-range anti-submarine warfare patrol aircraft, replaced the P-2V

Neptune fleet. After 50 years of faithful service and the 50th anniversary of Maritime Patrol and Reconnaissance Force, the P-3C Orion is being phased out of the fleet and replaced by the P-8A Poseidon, according to Navy officials. The P-8A is a modified Boeing airframe featuring a fully connected, state-of-theart, open architecture mission system designed for long-range anti-submarine warfare; anti-surface warfare; and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions, Navy officials explained. “Patrol and Reconnaissance Wing 10 mans, trains, and equips P-3 and P-8 squadrons to deploy anywhere, anytime,” said Capt. Rob Patrick, Commodore of Patrol and Reconnaissance Wing 10 at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island. “This is critically important as we are the eyes and the ears of our national defense, putting pressure on strategic locations around the world. Our sailors are the single biggest asymmetric advantage that allows us to succeed at our missions. Without their agility and exper-
tise, we would not be able to do what we do.” Haas is part of a crew striving to be the best Naval Aviation Wing in the United States, according to Navy Officials. Their mission is to safely build and maintain a team of sailors capable of conducting prompt and sustained combat operations. “It’s not easy flying an older aircraft like we do,” Haas said. “We’re not the shiny new P-8, we’re the legacy P-3. The coolest thing is how our maintenance crews accomplish the mission that we do with 50-year-old planes.” According to Navy officials, the Navy continues to meet milestone after milestone on this world-class mission and is providing an aircraft with superior capabilities to the men and women in uniform that will have a lasting legacy promoting a global maritime strategy. “My grandfather and father served in the Navy, so I looked up to them and wanted to follow in their footsteps,” Haas added. “It’s been quite a journey.”
Library to Show Documentary on Race In a community partnership project, Calvert Library Prince Frederick is hosting a showing and discussion of the Ava DuVernay’s documentary about race, justice and mass incarceration, 13th. The main event is Thursday, August 24 with the movie starting at 5:30pm and the discussion scheduled to begin at 7:15 p.m. For those whom 5:30pm on a weeknight is too early, the library will also show the film at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday, August 19 with the anticipation that those viewers will be able to attend the discussion at 7:15 p.m. on August 24. The film itself is a critically-acclaimed and thought-provoking film and won the Peabody award and BAFTA for Best Documentary in 2016. The discussion promises to be rich and provocative. Dusty Rhoades and Willetta Love from the Community Mediation Center of Calvert County will moderate. Partners and participants include All Saints Episcopal Church, Calvert County Sheriff’s Office, Community Mediation Center of Calvert County, the Honorable E. Gregory Wells of the Calvert County Circuit Court, Legislative Black Caucus of Maryland, Maryland Commission on Civil Rights, Calvert County NAACP, Point of Change Jail and
Street Ministry and Remnant Center of Excellence. Calvert Library summer student intern and Calvert High School rising junior, Le’Andre Campbell has helped collect questions to think about prior to seeing the film, as well as questions to kick the discussion off afterwards. When asked about his interest he said, “I saw this documentary on Netflix and I think it’s an important topic to discuss. I’m so glad to have the opportunity to get the community together to talk and I’m working on getting other teens to the library for the event.” Michael Kent with the NAACP will talk about what is happening on the local level around this issue of mass incarceration. A representative of the Legislative Black Caucus of Maryland will talk about related legislation at the state level. Others involved in the legal and penal system will be available to answer questions and provide information from their own experience. Content of the film is intense and parental guidance is encouraged. For more information, call Robyn Truslow at 410-535-0291. From Calvert Library
