Local Dems Rally at Hoyer Picnic By Dick Myers Editor It could be considered the official launch of the 2018 political campaign season for Southern Maryland Democrats. Representatives from Democratic central committees and clubs, party workers and a smattering of other elected officials gathered Oct. 7 for the 6th annual Southern Maryland Family Picnic hosted by Rep. Steny Hoyer at Serenity Farm on the Patuxent River in Benedict. And, the mood was decidedly upbeat for the Democratic Party. The catalyst for the hopes for the future is President Donald Trump, who was the target for jibes throughout the speeches at the picnic. Hoyer was the cheerleader-in-chief. “These are the Times that Try Men’s Souls,” he said, parroting 18th century author and philosopher Thomas Paine. “We are Democrats but we are Americans fi rst. We have to be concerned about America,” said Hoyer, who has been in elective office for 50 years in Maryland, including since 1981 in his present position. We are a united party,” said Hoyer, 78. He noted that didn’t mean the party was monolithic. “We have different ideas but we are committed to coming together so our country can move forward.” Noting the heat under the tent where everyone was assembled on an unusually hot and humid October afternoon, Hoyer said, “It (the Trump Administration) is dangerous for Americans.” He added, “It’s going to get hotter if we don’t get Democrats in control of at least one House.” One gubernatorial candidate was in attendance, Maryland State Sen. Richard “Rich” Manalino, Jr. of Montgomery County. He said Republican Gov. Larry Hogan, in his early days in office, tried to cut health insurance for working women, an indication that he isn’t as moderate as he sometimes seems. He said give him another four years and his true colors will
emerge, as did New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie in his and Calvert, that are majority Republican, and two, second term. Charles and Prince George’s, that are majority DemoManalino said with a Democratic governor, “We cratic. The numbers give him a Democratic advanwill be the beacon for the country that we used to be.” tage in his Fifth Congressional District. Hoyer said any one of the Democratic candidates for governor can beat Hogan. dickmyers@countytimes.net Chairman of the Calvert County Democratic Club Hagner Mister, former county commissioner and state agriculture secretary, said he remembered back to the early 60’s when a then-young Hoyer came to the county to help start a young Democrats club. Mister said he said then, “He is going to higher places.” He said Hoyer has been a leader ever since. Hoyer at the conclusion of the rally said he had never seen America so out of kilter from what America means to him. “Our duty is to keep America, America,” he insisted. Hoyer asked everyone present for their vote, indicating he intends to run again from the district that includes the tree Southern Maryland counties and a portion of Prince George’s County. Hoyer, who lives in St. Family Owned & Operated Since 1929 Mary’s County, now represents a district that has The Charm and Quality of the Past with the Convenience and Variety of Today two counties, St. Mary’s
Fisher Concerned About Spread of Gangs By Dick Myers Editor Calvert County Delegate Mark Fisher (R: 27C) is concerned about the spread of a violent gang in neighboring Anne Arundel County. He posted the following on his weekly blog: “A violent Salvadoran gang known as “MS-13” is expanding in Anne Arundel County. “The gang is connected to the disappearance of multiple teenage girls, beatings in schools, and stabbings. A case recently heard by the District Court of Annapolis was just sent to the Circuit Court. “Anne Arundel County formed a joint task force to combat the growing presence of MS-13. “Maryland Progressives have been notably silent. “Perhaps, they want to hide the consequences of their Sanctuary
State policies.” According to Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia, “MS-13 (Mara Salvatrucha; also known as simply MS or Mara) is an international criminal gang that originated in Los Angeles, California, US in the 1980s. The gang later spread to many parts of the continental United States, Canada, Mexico, and Central America, and is active in urban and suburban areas. Most members are ethnically of Central American origin (principally El Salvador). “In the U.S., MS-13 has an especially heavy presence in California, the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, New York City and New Jersey, Boston, Charlotte, North Carolina, and Houston. There is also a presence of MS-13 in Toronto, Canada.” dickmyers@countytimes.net

Dominion Cove Point Hearing Chesapeake Beach Continuance Announced Revises Ethics Ordinance By Dick Myers Editor Chief Public Utility Law Judge Terry J. Romine has issued a notice of continuation of the public hearing regarding the application to amend Dominion Energy Cove Point’s Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (Case No. 9318). The hearing, for those individuals who signed up to speak at the October 2 hearing but were not called on due to time constraints, will be held Thursday, October 19, 2017 at 6 p.m. at the Mill Creek Middle School Cafetorium, 12200 Southern Connector Boulevard in Lusby. Persons who were unable to attend the October 2 hearing will also have an opportunity to sign up and speak at the October 19 hearing. Written comments can also be filed with the Commission (by October 19). More than 50 people spoke at the Oct. 2 hearing and after three hours there were still 17 more signed up who could not speak. Dominion’s request in the PSC
public notice was officially described as “1) remove an unnecessary emission limit as a specific condition and 2) allow for operational flexibility to maintain reliability of the project specifically to permit the use of existing combustion turbines to supply backup power if needed.” Most of the Oct. 2 speakers opposed the proposal, claiming it would add to the area’s air pollution and be hazardous to the health of residents. Supporters, many of whom were Dominion workers, claimed it would give the company operational flexibility. One of the supporters was Calvert County Board of County Commissioners Vice President Evan Slaughenhoupt, Jr. who presented the board’s supporting position. Before the Oct. hearing began, Romine said that the PSC would consider the application at a Nov. 15 hearing in Baltimore. dickmyers@countytimes.net
Current Ordinance Falls Short of State Guidelines By Dick Myers Editor There are 157 municipalities in the state of Maryland. Only five have not met state ethics requirements. Chesapeake Beach is one of the five. The town hopes it is well on its way to correcting that problem. The town revised its Ethics Ordinance in 2016, but that revision did not meet state muster. The town council at its Sept. 21 meeting formally adopted a new Ethics Ordinance. The decision followed a public hearing at which no one spoke. The unanimous approval came after acceptance of several amendments offered by Councilman Derek Favret. Favret’s amendments extended the ethics requirements to candidates for mayor and town council. On advice of their attorney, the council did, however, remove Favret’s suggestion that confl ict of interest provisions also apply to the candidates. Attorney Elissa D. Levan said those provisions typically just apply to the mayor and mem-
bers of the council to prevent voting in matters where a confl ict exists. Favret told the County Times after the meeting that he was convinced that his amendments that passed would meet state requirements. He said the state ethics provisions did extend to candidates as well as sitting members. Councilman Stewart Cumbo also had concerns about the make-up of the Ethics Commission. He said that a quorum of the three-member commission would be two, and he believed that any decision of the commission should be unanimous of the three members. Cumbo said he didn’t know whether his concerns should be in the ordinance or in policies enacted by the commission. His concerns were not added to the ordinance but Ethics Commission Chair Philip Kete said his board would deal with those concerns before the revised ordinance is sent to the state for review. dickmyers@countytimes.net

Issues Aired About Fire, Rescue, EMS Training By Dick Myers Editor The Calvert County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) received a briefing at their Oct. 10 meeting about the difficulties of training an all-volunteer fire, rescue and EMS force. Sometimes at the end of the lengthy and expensive training, other counties wind up being the beneficiary. Presenters of the briefing were Coordinator of the Fire Rescue, EMS Division James Richardson, Chief of Calvert Advanced Life Support and Paramedic Christopher Shannon and Maryland Fire and Rescue Institute Faculty Supervisor and Past Chief of the Prince Frederick VFD Timothy Delehanty. Shannon said changes to requirements for Advanced Life Support (paramedics) are presenting challenges for volunteers. Where before, training could be done within the departments, now paramedics must first complete a course at a community college. That takes 18 months and costs the county $9,000, when all is said and done. He said with that training, which is the same as required for counties with paid staff, they have a ticket for a job in either Charles or St. Mary’s, which both have paid paramedics. He said in St. Mary’s, paid paramedics work under contract and are not county employees, but are paid $30 an hour. What started out as a small force of three has now ballooned to nine and they are moving to having at least one paid paramedic on call at all times. Charles County paramedics are fulltime county employees with full benefits. “They enjoy being county employees,” he said. The community college curriculum is science-oriented, so some who wish to
pursue the skill may be prevented from it because they can’t meet the college requirements. And there is no assurance that once they start they will be able to complete it. Training for firefighters is equally as rigorous and lengthy, said Delehanty. Training is provided at regional facilities, such as the one for the area in La Plata. Training is offered in three-hour blocks, often on weekends. Training for Firefighter 1 is 108 hours, and for Firefighter 2 an additional 80 hours. But there’s also considerable training for apparatus operation and for leadership, such as fire officers and safety officers, he noted. “We appreciate that the BOCC gives us what we need to do the job,” Delehanty said. Shannon also bemoaned the increasing costs of pharmaceuticals and changes in administering protocol. The types of meds are dictated by a physician board. “I can’t keep up with pharmaceutical costs,” he said. Shannon, who is also a full-tine paramedic in another county, noted that they run calls with five paramedics, so they have someone to assist in the administering of the meds, where in Calvert it’s just one person to deal with everything. Commissioner Pat Nutter observed that duties such as fundraising and cleaning vehicles were left out of the discussion. He wondered how the county could attract a person to volunteer duty who has a family at home and other responsibilities. Delehanty observed that volunteer service in Calvert County is indeed a family affair. Many companies have had generations of the same family to serve. “What drives these volunteers is how much they care,” he said. dickmyers@countytimes.net
Public Hearing Set on Grinder Pump Fees The Calvert County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) will hold a public hearing Oct. 17, 2017, to consider and receive comments on a proposal to establish an annual fee to maintain up to 182 privately owned grinder pumps. The hearing will begin at 10:30 a.m. at the Commissioner’s Hearing Room in the Calvert County Circuit Courthouse, located at 175 Main St. in Prince Frederick. The proposed $180 annual fee will apply to residents who own grinder pumps maintained by Calvert County Department of Public Works Water and Sewerage Division. If a resident chooses to not have the Water and Sewerage Division maintain their grinder pumps, they can opt out of this county-provided service
and will not be charged a fee. Citizens can view the resolution online. For additional information, contact the Calvert County Department of Public Works Water and Sewerage Division at 410-535-1600, ext. 2520 or via email at Julie.Paluda@calvertcountymd.gov. Individuals who cannot attend the public hearing may submit written comments. These written comments must be received by 4:30 p.m., Oct. 16, 2017, and may be submitted by emailing COMMISS@calvertcountymd.gov or through the U.S. mail to the BOCC at 175 Main St., Prince Frederick, MD 20678.

Calvert Woman Indicted For Child Abuse A Calvert Grand Jury has indicted a Prince Frederick woman on one count of child abuse and another of second-degree assault after she allegedly whipped her son with a cord. Rocia Aceneth Tovar Calderon, 40, faces charges in county Circuit Court after teachers found marks on the boy that appeared to have been made by a thin cord used as a striking instrument, charging documents stated. The incident involving Calderon occurred in August.
When a county sheriff’s deputy and child protective services worker went to the victim’s home to speak with Calderon, she told them she hit the boy because of her frustration with his obtuse and destructive behavior. Calderon was angry with the boy, she said, because he “do a lot of things” and she “need to teach him,” according to charging documents. The sheriff’s deputy and child welfare services worker who visited the home on Hallowing Point Road said they found poor conditions. “The home was extremely unkempt with old food on the floor tables, chairs and counters,” charging documents stated. “Insects were visible flying
around the residence and crawling on counters and floors.” Calderon said she had two jobs and had a difficult time keeping up the home because she had no help; sometimes the 13 year old there took care of the 3 year old but sometimes a baby sitter was necessary. Calderon also said she tried not to hit the small boy because “he’s white and it leaves marks,” court papers read.
During the week of September 25 – October 1 deputies of the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office responded to 1, 161 calls for service throughout the community. ARRESTS: On September 25, 2017 Deputy Moran responded to the Calvert County Detention Center for the report of an inmate with CDS. The complainant advised Deputy Moran that inmate, later identified as Brittany Cannon (28) of Prince Frederick had the CDS on her. Once Cannon was confronted Cannon about the CDS, she removed all
CDS from her possession. Cannon was charged with CDS: Possession-not marijuana (Suboxone), Possession or Receive CDS while Confined, and Possession Contraband in a place of Confinement. On September 26, 2017 Deputy R. Evans was on patrol in the area of the Greene Turtle parking lot in Prince Frederick, when he observed a subject that was wanted through the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office. Deputy Evans made contact with the subject identified as Lionel Mackall (35) of HunMackall tingtown where he was placed
under arrest for his warrant. A search of Mr. Mackall revealed he had narcotics and paraphernalia on him. He was transported to the Calvert County Detention Center and charged with CDS: Possession of paraphernalia and CDS: Possession-not marijuana (crack cocaine). On September 29, 2017 Deputy Kreps responded to the area of Kent Road and N Solomons Island Road for the report of a subject walking in the roadway. Upon arrival, Deputy Kreps made contact with the male subject identified as Ryan Bussard (30) of Edgewater. It was determined that Mr. Bussard was intoxicated and had damaged another residence mailbox. He was placed under arrest and charged with Destruction of Property.

CSM Foundation Campaign Aims to Impact Students The College of Southern Maryland Foundation is seeking to make an even greater impact for CSM students as it surpasses its initial goal of $10 million and challenges the community to help raise another $2 million toward its “Make An Impact” campaign. Due to the generous support received since the public launch of its campaign last November, the CSM Foundation has challenged itself to a stretch goal of $12 million to benefit the college’s transformative three-year outreach and fundraising effort that will culminate in 2018 with the college’s 60th anniversary. Through the foundation’s early efforts, and with support from CSM’s closest supporters, more than $7 million had been received when the campaign publicly launched as part of last year’s online day of generosity, Giving Tuesday. Early contributions had reflected a milestone $1-million gift from philanthropist and developer Marianne Harms as well as cash, legacy gifts and multi-year pledges, bequests, planned gifts and grants. “Some of the innovation and impact that we are already seeing from the campaign is the ability to launch a Velocity Center outside the gates of NSWCIHEOD to support scientists from the base working with our students on technology transfer and innovative ideas and projects. Not only will this be a place of learning and innovation, but it will also spur workforce development and economic growth in Southern Maryland. The CSM Foundation and its campaign brought in a $1-million endowment to support the Entrepreneur and Innovation Institute and its CSM Foundation Scholarship Reception Keynote Speaker Marianne new Velocity Center,” said CSM President Dr. Maureen Harms, a Calvert County businesswoman and philanthropist, recently donated a $1-million gift to the CSM Foundation in support Murphy. of scholarships through the John and Marianne Harms Endowed “It is exciting to see private industry and individuals Scholarship Fund. in the community as well as our local, state and federal elected officials making their impact at CSM by supporting such initiatives as the Velocity Center both financially and through their advocacy of enhanced economic impact efforts in our region,” Murphy said. “We are thrilled for our Wrap up your students and our commuholiday décor nity that we have not only now and save. met, but surpassed our $10 million goal,” said CSM Foundation Chair Nancy Hempstead. “Our Southern Maryland community really stepped up to support the college and the diverse student population it serves.

Director Michelle Goodwin. “The $10 million goal is focused on three major initiatives: $5 million toward scholarships; $3 million for programs, technology and facilities; and $2 million for entrepreneurship and innovation. We have met our goals for two of the three focus areas and are still a bit short on the $5 million toward scholarships. The CSM Foundation agreed to set a stretch goal for an additional $2 million going into the college’s 60th anniversary in 2018 hoping for a $12-million impact by next December. That additional $2 million is really needed for student scholarships for academic programs as well as short-term workforce and career training.” Scholarships strategically address affordability, access and completion by supporting students with financial need; attracting high achievers; assisting the workforce and career development students who cannot obtain tuition assistance; and ensuring timely completion and graduation. Recent support has come through Old Line Bank, with a pledge of $80,000 for an annual financial needs-based scholarship which has been created to support degree-seeking students as well as workforce training students, and through SMECO, which helped CSM create a pre-apprenticeship certificate program for those pursuing work as a lineman/linewoman. SMECO has funded two scholarships for students enrolled in the 12week program. Through the support of mostly grants, the second initiative for Transformative Programs, Technology and Facilities has surpassed its $3-million goal and has raised $4 million to date. Introducing transformative programs, facilities and technology is key to the region’s future of our workforce. The new Regional Campus centrally located in Hughesville will offer specialized programs in highdemand growth areas in the trades, health sciences, nursing and the arts, as well as athletic fields. New programs will be developed with the input of local businesses to meet growing, workforce demands such as cybersecurity, mechatronics and others. Funds also help to serve special groups, such as veterans, minority underachievers, students with disabilities, to provide the programs and services needed to help them succeed. Recent grants include a $45,000 Higher Education Partnership Grant from Dominion Energy Charity to upgrade equipment in CSM’s electronics laboratories in Leonardtown and a $1,500 Chaney Foundation Beautification Grant to create a natural play area at the St. Charles Children’s Learning Center at CSM. To date, the CSM Foundation has raised $2.1 million toward its Entrepreneur and Innovation initiative. Most recently, CSM received a $500,000 endowment match through the Maryland Department of Commerce’s Maryland E-Nnovation Initiative to support the college’s Entrepreneur and Innovation Institute (EII) and its new Velocity Center and the expertise required to expand CSM’s technology transfer curriculum; research and identify regional technology transfer opportunities; instill entrepreneurial skills among students, government scientists and businesses; and expand the local entrepreneurial ecosystem and workforce. As part of CSM’s entrepreneur, innovation and partnership fund, CSM as a community leader is working with businesses and organizations to create economic and socio-economic solutions. The EII was created with a donation from Michael and Liz Chiaramonte and the Chiaramonte Family Foundation. Supporters of the institute and involved in its launch include elected officials, the local chambers of commerce and their associated committees, the economic development departments of Calvert, Charles and St. Mary’s counties, Southern Maryland Innovation & Technology, Energetics Technology Center, SBDC, Tri-County Council for Southern Maryland and Maryland Technology Development Corporation (TEDCO).

during the college’s Oct. 27 scholarship reception. Created in 2012 by his family after Pete’s untimely death at the age of 23, the Peter Cangelosi Memorial Scholarship Fund pays tribute to this Westlake High School graduate who was a talented student athlete and attended the University of Maryland Baltimore Campus as a Meyerhoff Scholar. His dream was to be a cardiac surgeon but in college his passion switched to medical research and he subsequently worked on projects that studied the positive effects of a Herpes drug on mice with induced Multiple Sclerosis and that studied brain trauma and recovery from blast injuries. His scholarship is designed to benefit students who have financial need and are studying science or health related fields with preference for Eagle Scout, Girl Scout Gold Award recipient, student athlete or community service volunteer. The scholarship’s first recipient, Sana Qureshi of Waldorf, was awarded in 2016 and received her associate degree in nursing this spring. “Peter had a passion for learning and helping others. His memorial scholarship helps to spread his legacy to others. We couldn’t be more honored and blessed that his scholarship was chosen for the Southern Maryland Women’s League charity donation,” said his mother, Laurie Cangelosi. Created earlier this year by local cancer survivor group, Sisters at Heart, in honor of their founder, the Roberta Kieliger Sisters at Heart Scholarship at CSM is designed to benefit students in the healthcare field, with a preference to students who are cancer survivors or family members of those who have battled cancer. Kieliger passed away shortly after the first recipients were awarded in February.

It’s tIme to Plant BulBs
Foundation to Support CSM Scholarships The Community Foundation of Southern Maryland has recently presented awards on behalf of three funds and totaling $6,700 to support three scholarships at the College of Southern Maryland, the Roberta Kieliger Sisters at Heart Scholarship, the Peter Cangelosi Memorial Scholarship and an Opportunity Fund recipient. “We are so honored to be affiliated with this group and it’s such a wonderful and heartwarming example of non-profits in Southern Maryland working together to ensure our young adults have opportunities to further their goals so they will make an impact in our community,” said CSM Foundation Chair Nancy Hempstead. Awarded as part of the charitable community resources maintained and distributed by CFSOMD on behalf of its donors, the donations were specifically designated with $5,000 from Opportunity Fund to support a student at CSM in need with the cost of tuition and books for one year; $200 from the Southern Maryland Women’s League fund in support of the Peter Cangelosi Memorial Scholarship Fund; and $1,500 from Sisters at Heart Fund in support of the Roberta Kieliger Sisters at Heart Scholarship. “The Community Foundation of Southern Maryland is proud to support the interests and passions of its fund holders through charitable distributions to worthy organizations like the College of Southern Maryland, that work to provide an improved quality of life for our citizens,” said Ellen Flowers-Fields, chair of the CFSOMD. Established by an anonymous donor in 2015, the CFSOMD’s Opportunity Grant Fund is a donor advised fund to provide opportunities for and to address the pressing needs in Charles County. The funds provided to the CSM Foundation will be awarded to a student having financial need at the college and will support the cost of tuition and books for a year. It’s anticipated the scholarship will be announced

Calvert Artist Wins Grant For Public Art
Photos by Frank Marquart Parran Collery
By Dick Myers Editor In a word association game, “art” could lead to responses such as “fun,” “entertainment” and “sensory pleasure.” But the answers “profit” or “economic development” could also apply, according to art advocates. Calvert County’s economic development strategic plan, released earlier this year, does not mention art. But it does place a large dependence on tourism for future economic development and singles out agri-tourism as part of a plan to incentivize “Agribusinesses, including Vineyards and Farm-to-Table Operations.” But, the state of Maryland more than a decade ago recognized the importance of art to the state’s economy by creating an “Arts and Entertainment District” program that now includes multiple towns. Leonardtown, the St. Mary’s county seat, is the only Arts and Entertainment District in Southern Maryland. A study was conducted to assess the eco-
nomic impact of those districts. The conclusion: “Twenty-Four A&E Districts have been established since the program began in 2001. And, the most recent economic impact study shows that in fiscal year 2014, 22 Maryland A&E Districts collectively supported an estimated 6,000 new jobs that paid $199 million in wages. During the same year, new jobs combined with A&E District festivals and events supported more than $571 million in state GDP (Gross Domestic Product) and $39 million in state and local tax revenue.” For Leonardtown alone, the study shows almost 200 jobs and a contribution of $18.7 million to the state’s GDP. North Beach would like to join the club and is getting its ducks in a row before making the application. It took Leonardtown a decade of work before they succeeded with their quest. One advantage of having the Arts and Entertainment District designation is the availability of grants for programs to bolster the arts. One such prgram allowed the town to hold a competition for a “Public Art” project. Winner of the competition was Parran Collery, a Calvert County native and daughter of Nancy Collery, the long-tine proprietor of the former Main Street Gallery in Prince Frederick. Her work, called “The Naturalist Bench,” was unveiled at a ceremony in Leonardtown on Friday, October 6th. It now sits in front of the town hall for everyone to admire, and sit on. Growing up in Calvert County, Collery received her artistic inspiration from many sources. Of course, her artist mother was a definite influence. She also had as a mentor Richard Fagan, her teacher, first at Calvert Middle School and then at Calvert High School. “He was incredibly encouraging to everyone who took his class,” she told the Calvert County Times in an interview before the bench unveiling. “He exposed students to a lot of mediums,” she added. Always in the back of her mind as she pursued her art passion was how she was going to make a living at it. She was taking sculpture at the University of Vermont and wondering that very thing when she stumbled on a ceramics class “firing a raku kiln behind the art building, smoke and fire and students moving with purpose. One look and I was hooked.” she said on her website. That did lead her to a job with a tile company in New Jersey after graduate school at Rutgers. And it has given her a chance to make a living while pursuing her artistic talents since she has moved back to Calvert
County and set up her own studio behind her house. She calls her studio Eartha Handmade Tile for her love of terra cotta clay and nature. She sells her unique tile designs not only to individuals, but also markets then wholesale. And, she teaches throughout the state in a grants program supported by the Maryland Arts Council. Her next session will be at Windy Hill M.S. Collery said she was fortunate to learn about the Leonardtown contest from a friend and decided a bench would be something utilitarian and at the same tine give her a chance to show off her artistic talents. Collery said she never would have been able to set aside other means of making a living for the several months it took her to complete the bench without the stipend from the Arts and Entertainment grant. Collery finds Calvert County to have a “lot of potential” when it comes to the arts. “We have an amazing anchor for the arts in Annemarie Garden,” she said. Annemarie Garden is always touted in tourism literature for the county and attracts large crowds for its events such as Artsfest and Garden in Lights. She also noted that there were a “lot of people in ceramic arts” in the county which gives her colleagues to share her passion and work. She explained, “I am inspired by my backyard, birds and other creatures, stars in the dark night sky, the simple beauty of everyday objects, art history and poetry . . . the list goes on and on! My tiles and mosaics combine sophisticated design with vibrant color and a sense of space. They are exhibited in shops and galleries throughout the US, and are installed in many private residences.” Collery feels that North Beach has great potential to be an Arts and Entertainment District because it is a walkable town like Leonardtown. Even though it is not mentioned in the economic development plan, arts haven’t been forgotten in county advertising. The county has created a brochure called “The Patuxent Arts Trail” that lists art galleries and other venues, such as Annemarie Garden. The brochure is also available in the county’s tourism website.

Her job working as a church secretary allows her to find out about others who have cancer and illnesses. “I’m more understanding and compassionate with people who have the same issues with pain. I learned that I can offer too much advice. It makes me more humble in many ways too. I’m more kinder. I used to be more impatient when I was younger and healthy.” Furthermore, she said, “It wakes me up to understanding God’s grace. I’m living in a fallen and broken world. My body is also broken.” She started off making financial contributions

to cancer research, but decided that she didn’t want to pay the salaries of all those who work at fundraising. Instead, she chose to help through the church and to help people directly. On the day of the interview, she was preparing an Asian dish for a family who is going through aggressive cancer treatments. She continues to see her oncologist once a year. So far, she remains clear. But she admits that any new symptom that she has causes her to immediately be concerned that it might related back to cancer. “I’m not alone to feel like that.”
Non-invasive Cancer Can Become Invasive Ductal Carcinoma in situ is noninvasive, but without treatment, it could develop into invasive cancer over time. At this time, health care providers cannot predict which cases of DCIS will progress to invasive breast cancer and which will not. Because DCIS might turn into invasive breast cancer, almost every case of DCIS is treated.

After treatment for DCIS there is still a small risk of recurrence (return of DCIS) and Invasive Breast Cancer. These risks are higher with lumpectomy plus radiation therapy than with mastectomy. However, overall survival is the same after either treatment. With close follow-up, invasive breast cancer is usually caught early and can be treated successfully. - Susan G. Komen website

baseballs as fast as she could. “Bap, bap, bap! I was trying to decide if I should be trying to catch them or bat them,” Jarboe said, even as she was physically ducking while reliving the experience. She had three lumps. Two were very deep. She was diagnosed with Stage Three cancer and had a mastectomy in November 2008. The doctors began a very aggressive treatment plan. She said that she didn’t ask why her. She didn’t question it. She wasn’t angry. “I was just starting to process it. It wasn’t my plan. It was God’s. And if he brought me to it, he was going to bring me through it.” The chemotherapy started. It made her tired. She said she would wake up, look around, realize she was still alive and then go back to sleep. At the time, she was working at Dean Lumber and Supplies. Her co-workers donated leave so that she could take time off. She would receive the chemotherapy on Monday. Tuesday, she would feel okay. Wednesday and Thursday be sick and some Fridays she would work part of the day. Then the cycle would start all over again. Since the chemotherapy kills the good as well as the bad cells in the immune system, she would have her blood drawn to see if she could be around other people. She said it was hard on the days that the doctors sent her home. “I love being around people but I couldn’t.” This period of time she thinks God wanted her to slow down. She even had a funny experience that brought the point home. “It was February 2009. There was a bad snow. Since we live on a large hill, she pulled out the sled. I had no business sledding, and I got hurt.” She went to see her doctor, who was Jan Jarboe and her husband Joe.
older and wise. He told her that he didn’t want her doing anything more to her body for two years. That it was so broken it needed time to heal. “He told me to stay at the top of the hill and serve cocoa.” His advice was the permission she needed to stop and heal. She said it was a relief. She had the first of two reconstructive surgeries in 2011. The surgery took longer than expected – eight to 10 hours all together. The surgeon cut Jarboe from hip to hip, removing skin from her stomach to rebuild the right breast. The second surgery? “They expect a certain amount of your tissue to die in this procedure. Leave it to me. Mine didn’t,” Jarboe chuckled. She went on to explain that the rebuilt breast was too large underneath her arm and some of it needed to be removed. Even after the surgery, she continued to have trouble with the excess tissue under her arm. She could not be comfortable. Then she discovered Ruby Ribbon, a company built on the idea of incorporating sharewear into everyday clothing. For the first time since her reconstructive surgery she felt good about the bra

“Don’t go through it. Grow through it,” is the message that Mechanicsville resident Jan Jarboe wants all women to hear. A breast cancer survivor, Jarboe is full of heartfelt, pithy advice, not only for those suffering breast cancer, but those presented with any challenge. “You’ve got to stop and take the time to get better. There is a message in there. If you don’t (stop), you’ll miss the message every time.” It has taken Jarboe years to even understand and apply this to herself. June 2008, she was in her kitchen preparing a meal for her husband and two longtime friends, when she crossed her arms over her chest and felt a lump under her bra on her right breast. She called everyone in to examine it and all agreed it was something she should have checked out. She called her sister, who had already gone through breast cancer. She was thankful that her sister was a “whirlwind,” putting her into contact with specialists, especially at a time prior to the “wonderful Breast Center” St. Mary’s hospital now has. In no time, she and her husband Joe where listening to a doctor at Georgetown University Hospital. She said the doctor was very clinical, having dealt with cancer on a daily basis.

The role of exercise in cancer reduction
gen is a reproductive hormone, it is also contained in fat cells. Exercise can help burn fat and lower the amount of blood estrogen in the body, thereby lowering a woman’s risk of developing breast cancer. Exercise also can decrease the potentially harmful effects of obesity, which are linked to the development of insulin resistance. According to the study, “The Links Between Insulin Resistance, Diabetes, and Cancer” by Etan Orgel, MD, MS, and Steven D. Mittelman, MD, PhD, although the precise mechanisms and pathways are uncertain, it is becoming clear that hyperinsulinemia (insulin resistance), and possibly sustained hyperglycemia, are important regulators of not only the development of cancer but also of treatment outcome. Insulin resistance has been linked to the development of tumors in cases of breast and colon cancers.
Cancer can strike without warning. Although there is no way to prevent cancer, there are certain measures people can take to help reduce their risk, and exercise is one of the more effective ways to do just that. The National Cancer Institute notes that there is substantial evidence to support the idea that higher levels of physical activity are linked to lower risks of several cancers, including colon cancer, endometrial cancer and breast cancer. In addition, a study published in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine found that leisure-time physical activity was associated with a significantly decreased risk of not only these three cancers, but also esophageal cancer, liver cancer, stomach cancer, kidney cancer, and myeloid leukemia, among others. As many as one-third of cancer-related deaths can be linked to obesity and sedentary lifestyles, so it’s easy to see the relationship between exercise and a reduced cancer risk. One of the more important ways that exercise may lower cancer risk is through the reduction of estrogen and insulin levels in the body. Women with high estrogen levels in their blood have increased risk for breast cancer. Although estro-
Higher levels of physical activity are linked to lower risks of several cancers. The NCI states that exercise also can reduce cancer risk by: • reducing inflammation, • altering the metabolism of bile acids in the gastrointestinal tract, helping to decrease exposure of the body to suspected carcinogens, • improving immune system function, and • boosting mood and feelings of well-being. Additional research is needed to study the link between exercise and cancer risk. However, based on observational studies, existing studies support the notion that regular exercise can go a long way toward reducing cancer risk.
Lower your risk of breast cancer One in eight women is expected to develop breast cancer in her lifetime, and a recent survey by the Society for Women’s Health Research found that 22 percent of women named breast cancer as the disease they fear most. The specter of breast cancer makes it no surprise that women are eager to seek various ways to reduce their risks of developing this potentially deadly disease. Though cancer treatments continue to evolve, there remains no cure for breast cancer or any other types of cancer. However, there are steps men and women can take to reduce their risks of developing breast cancer. In fact, the National Cancer Institute says avoiding breast cancer risk factors is the best path to prevention. * Avoid exposure to radiation. Repeated exposure to radiation therapy used to treat illnesses like Hodgkin’s disease can increase a person’s risk of breast cancer, particularly if treatments begin at an early age. * Keep a healthy weight. Obesity increases the risk of breast cancer, particularly in postmenopausal women. Healthy eating and exercise can help women control their weight while reducing their risks of developing breast cancer and a number of other diseases. Scientists at The Mayo Clinic believe there is a link between estrogen production in fatty breast tissue and breast cancer. * Eat a low-fat diet. The Women’s Intervention Nutrition Study from the National Cancer Institute found that
the highest rate of breast cancer reduction was among a group of women who ate a low-fat diet. * Reduce alcohol consumption. Various studies have indicated that women who drink alcoholic beverages may develop cancer at a higher rate. Women who consume two to five drinks daily have a greater risk of developing breast cancer than those who abstain from alcohol.
act like estrogen on some bodily tissues but block the effect of estrogen on other tissues. Aromatase inhibitors decrease the amount of estrogen made by the body. Women with a high risk of breast cancer may benefit from taking a SERM or aromatase inhibitor. * Increase fruit and vegetable consumption. Carotenoids are cancer-protective pigments found in a vast number of fruits and vegetables. Researchers at New York University found women who had higher blood carotenoid levels had a significantly smaller risk of breast cancer than women with lower levels. * Go sparingly on antibiotics. Only take antibiotics when they are truly needed. New evidence suggests that the more often a woman takes antibiotics, the higher her breast cancer risk. A study of more than 10,000 women found that women who took antibiotics for the equivalent of about 25 prescriptions over an average of 17 years where twice as likely to develop breast cancer than women who never took the drugs. * Breastfeed your children. Lactation can suppress ovulation and the body’s production of estrogen, which has been linked to higher levels of breast cancer. Breastfeeding may drop a woman’s breast cancer risk by 4 percent. Although there is no cure for cancer, there are a number of different ways women can reduce their risks for breast cancer.
Breast cancer is the second most common cancer among women, second only to lung cancer. * Weigh the risks of hormone replacement therapy. There are mixed reviews on hormone replacement therapy, or HRT, for postmenopausal women. There may be a link between long-term HRT and breast cancer, particularly when estrogen and progesterone are used in combination. Some doctors advise estrogen-only hormone therapy for women who have had a hysterectomy. * Use of SERMs and aromatase inhibitors. Selective estrogen receptor modulators, or SERMs, are drugs that

SMAC Scoreboard Rowing Team Christens New Shell With a ceremonial champagne pour, the St. Mary’s College rowing team, now in its second year as a varsity sport, today christened the newest addition to its fleet. Donated to the team by friend of the College and former Foundation Board of Directors member Dr. William “Bill” Seale, this eight-person rowing shell, named “President Tuajuanda C. Jordan,” is slated to be the top boat for the women’s team. The eight fastest women on the team will crew this new vessel. “It will be an honor for crew members named to this new shell for race day,” said coach Daniel Hagelberg. The shell gifted to the College from Bill Seale will go a long way in helping the growing team. In its two years as a varsity sport, the rowing team has grown from 25 to nearly 50 athletes. Hagelberg thanked all those who have had a hand, including athletes, in embracing the vision he has had for rowing at St. Mary’s College being among the best. This gift to the Seahawk rowing program is not the first in generous gestures from Seale and is certainly not the first gift to impact the waterfront. Several years ago, he donated the sailboat “Rip-
tide” to the waterfront program. He also ignited the College’s $2.5M Capital Campaign Challenge with the first gift, provided support for the St. Mary’s Undergraduate Research Fellows program, and established the William Seale Teaching and Learning Fund. Hagelberg said Seale’s gift represents more than just a boat as it ensures the team has top equipment in which to compete and seats for all who want to row at the College. “This new boat is going to live in our boathouse, but it will be woven into the experience of rowers on this team for many, many years to come.” St. Mary’s College of Maryland is accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education through 2024-2025. St. Mary’s College, designated the Maryland state honors college in 1992, is ranked one of the best public liberal arts schools in the nation by U.S. News & World Report. Approximately 1,600 students attend the college, nestled on the St. Mary’s River in Southern Maryland. From St. Mary’s College of Maryland

Seahawk Men Extend Soccer Win Streak to Five By Nairem Moran St. Mary’s College of Maryland The St. Mary’s College of Maryland men’s soccer team remains undefeated in Capital Athletic Conference action following Saturday’s 3-0 shutout of Marymount (Va.) University at Long Bridge Park. Three Seahawks found the back of the net while junior captain Juwan Kearson (Baltimore, Md./ St. Paul’s School) dished two assists in leading St. Mary’s to its fifth straight victory. St. Mary’s 3, Marymount 0 How It Happened • The Seahawks claimed a 1-0 halftime lead behind senior forward Emmanuel Oppong’s (Tema, Ghana/Blake [Md.]) fourth goal of the season in the 21st minute as Oppong headed in fellow classmate Sunny Chhatani’s (Lima, Peru/Indian Creek [Md.]) free kick from the left. • St. Mary’s outshot the Saints, 14-2, and earned
four corner kicks in the fi rst half but six saves by John Valcicak held the Seahawks to one fi rst-half goal. • Senior forward Luke Barber (Washington, D.C./Walt Whitman) knocked down his second goal of the season at 55:43 with a quick turn shot after receiving a pass from the right from Kearson in the middle of the box. • Kearson then assisted on senior forward Adam Kratz’s (Owings, Md./Northern) second tally of the season at 68:35 to seal the Seahawks’ win. • Senior captain Zack Haussler (Woodbine, Md./Glenelg) needed just one save to secure his fifth shutout of the season. For the Seahawks (8-4-0, 4-0-0 CAC) • Scorers: Oppong (1 goal); Barber (1 goal); Kratz (1 goal); Kearson (2 assists); Chhatani (1 assist) • Goalkeeper: Haussler (1 save, 0 goals allowed, 90:00)
•
St. Mary’s fi red off 28 shots (14 on goal) and collected four corner kicks in each half. For Marymount (3-10-0, 1-3-0 CAC) • Scorer: None • Goalkeeper: Valcicak (11 saves, 3 goals allowed, 90:00) • The Saints fi nished with seven shots (one on goal) and one corner. Notes The Seahawks improve to 25-10-1 against Marymount, including a 4-1 mark in the last five games. Up next for the Seahawks • Oct. 11 vs. Christopher Newport University (8-2, 3-0 CAC) – Seahawk Stadium – CAC match – 3:30 p.m. • CNU owns a 16-4-2 mark over the Seahawks. Last season, St. Mary’s and CNU played to a 2-2 draw. nmoran@smcm.edu
