Multiple Gunshots Fired

in Prince Frederick
and observed bullets coming toward his
face. Crusoe instructed Woodard to get
on the ground and they waited for the shots
to stop. The bullets went through the glass
window and then into the ceiling, according to the press release.
According to the charging document,
Greene called Woodard soon after the
shots stopped. When Crusoe answered the
phone, Crusoe said Greene told him that he
was coming back and would hit him this
time. Woodard said Greene stalks her and
is jealous of her relationship with Crusoe.
Woodard also said Greene told her that he
was going to kill Crusoe because he was
getting in between his family. She further
said that Greene texted Crusoe he was going to Crusoes house and shoot it up.
According to Woodards statement and
police investigation, the shooting happened
last Thursday might not be the first one.
Woodard said Greene admitted shooting
the front of Crusoes house a few weeks
ago, according to the charging document.
The previous shooting case is still under
investigation.
Greene was charged with two counts of
first-degree assault, three counts of reckless endangerment and multiple other felony charges. Green was also served with
two outstanding warrants from previous
incidents. His trial date is scheduled to be
on July 13.

Around 1 a.m. on June 16, multiple gunshots were fired in the area of Tranquil Ct.
in Prince Frederick, according to a press
release from the Sheriffs office. No one
was injured.
The suspect responsible for firing the
shots was identified as Samuel Sherrod Greene, a 22-year-old black male of
Chesapeake Beach. Greene was located at
a residence on Paris Oaks Rd. later in the
afternoon. Greene jumped out of the window when the law enforcement arrived,
according to the press release. Greene was
captured and taken into custody after a
short foot chase. A Smith and Wesson 9mm
handgun loaded with the same type of ammunition as the shell casings found on
Tranquil Ct. was also located at the same
residence on Paris Oaks Rd.
Greene admitted to being in the area of
Tranquil Ct. and said he heard the shots too.
But he denied any part of the shooting and
requested to terminate the interview.
The police determined that the incident
stemmed from a domestic issue. The police
report revealed that Anthony Wayne Crusoe II lived in the residence on Tranquil Ct.
along with his grandparents. Crusoe said
he and the mother of Greenes two children
Angel Woodard are friends. According to
Crusoes account, Woodard and he were
watching a movie in his room when he
heard a noise from the back of his house.
Crusoe said he went towards the window

$5.6 Million Rebate from States

Purchasing Card Program
78 State Agencies Account for $273 Million in Small Purchase Buys
On Friday June 17, 2016, Comptroller

Peter Franchot announced that the State of
Maryland has received a $5.6 million rebate from U.S. Bank, the result of 78 state
agencies spending more than $273 million
on small purchases through Marylands
Corporate Purchasing Card program.
This is just one of the many ways our
office saves taxpayers money each and every day, said Comptroller Franchot. This
program is an effective way for state agencies to make small purchases, provide for
better accountability and allow vendors to
receive payments in a timely manner.
The current contract for purchasing card

services was approved by the Board of
Public Works in 2013, with U.S. Bank delivering a higher rebate percentage than the
previous vendor. The $5.6 million rebate
covers purchases made from April 2015
through this April.
The state began using a corporate purchasing card program in March 1997. Since
then, the state has purchased $3.8 billion in
goods and services, while receiving $51.2
million in rebates.

YOUR
$1,750,000 Awarded to
Maryland Oral Health Centers
Last Thursday, Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Sylvia M. Burwell
announced $1,750,000 in funding to support five health centers in Maryland. The
funding will increase access to integrated
oral health care services and improve oral
health outcomes for Health Center Program
patients. Nationwide, todays announcement includes nearly $156 million in funding to support 420 health centers in 47
states, the District of Columbia and Puerto
Rico. This funding enables health centers
to expand integrated oral health care services and increase the number of patients
served.
With these awards from the Health
Resources and Services Administration
(HRSA), health centers across the country
will increase their oral health service capacity by hiring approximately 1,600 new
dentists, dental hygienists, assistants, aides,
and technicians to treat nearly 785,000 new
patients.
Oral health is an important part of our
overall physical health and well-being,
said Secretary Burwell. The funding
we are awarding will reduce barriers to
quality dental care for hundreds of thousands of Americans by bringing new oral
health providers to health centers across
the country.

STEP 1
Oral health problems can be a sign of illness elsewhere in the body. Additionally,
lack of access to preventive and routine
dental care for underserved populations
can result in dental conditions requiring
more costly emergency dental treatment.
HRSA will continue to explore ways to
further integrate oral health services within
primary care settings, and increase awareness of the connection between oral health
and overall health, said HRSA Acting Administrator Jim Macrae.
Today, nearly 1,400 health centers operate approximately 9,800 service delivery
sites in every U.S. state, D.C., Puerto Rico,
the Virgin Islands and the Pacific Basin;
these health centers employ more than
170,000 staff who provides care to nearly
23 million patients. In 2014, health centers
employed over 3,700 dentists, more than
1,600 dental hygienists, and over 7,400
dental assistants, technicians and aides.
They served about 4.7 million dental patients and provided nearly 12 million oral
health visits.

HOW DOES
A TANKLESS SPACE SAVING CALCULATION
WORK?
The obvious difference
between a tank and a
tankless is its size.
Not only will you gain
significant space, but
youll also get endless
hot water with a tankless.
Noritz tankless water
heaters last longer than
traditional tank water
heaters and are backed up
with a 12-year warranty.
STEP 5
The Noritz tankless water heater

provides an endless stream of
hot water. When the tap is
turned off, the unit shuts off.
With a tankless, you wont

be using hot water that is
stored in a tank that can
accumulate scale and rust
over time. Noritz units
allow you to set the
temperature you want.
A traditional tank-type water heater takes up to 13 ft2 of

space. If 1 ft2 is worth $200, thats $2,600 (13 ft2 x $200)
worth of space you could be saving at Noritz.

Woman Held On $1 Million Bond

In Fatal Valentines Day Crash
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
Lauren Renee Scott, of North Beach,
was arrested and charged last week for
causing the deaths of Dan and Kayla Amos,
both of California, in a tragic car crash on
Valentines Day in Edgewater.
Scott, who police believe had been using marijuana and heroin leading up to the
Feb. 14 fatal collision, is being held on $1
million bond awaiting her late July trial on
numerous counts including negligent manslaughter and homicide by motor vehicle
under the influence of drugs.
Aside from the felony charges against
her, Scott, 27, faces other traffic offenses
stemming from the crash which according to police occurred when Scotts 2002
Toyota Camry was travelling northbound
on Solomons Island Road and crossed the

centerline in the area of Swallow Lane and
struck the Amos car travelling southbound
on the same road.
Daniel Amos was killed at the scene
while Kayla Amos was evacuated by helicopter to to a trauma hospital in Baltimore
with severe injuries and died the next day.
According to on-line court records Scott
had been charged with possession of narcotics as well as possessing drug paraphernalia back in 2014 but those charges were
placed on the inactive case docket.
Daniel and Kayla Amos had been married just six months when they were killed.

LUSBY MAN PLEADS GUILTY TO

FEDERAL CHARGE OF PRODUCTION
OF CHILDPORNOGRAPHY
Pretended to be a Teenage Boy to Entice Minors to Engage in

Sexually Explicit Conduct and Conversations Using Social Media,
Email and Cell Phone Apps
Greenbelt, Maryland Jose Antonio Jaramillo, age 54, of Lusby, Maryland, pleaded guilty today in federal court to production of child pornography.
The guilty plea was announced by United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein; Special Agent in
Charge Andre R. Watson of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcements (ICE)
Homeland Security Investigations (HSI)
Baltimore; Special Agent in Charge Clark
E. Settles of HSI Washington D.C.; Calvert
County Sheriff Mike Evans; and Colonel
William M. Pallozzi, Superintendent of the
Maryland State Police.
According to his plea agreement, from
at least December 2014 through July 2015,
Jaramillo, posing as teenaged male named,
Tommy James, Thomas James Jones,
or Thomas James, used email, applications on cellular phones and social media
sites to induce, coerce and entice more than
five minor female victims between the ages
of 13 and 16 to send him sexually explicit
images of themselves over the internet.
Jaramillo admitted that, using the Tommy James persona, he engaged in or attempted to engage in, sexually explicit conversations with at least 14 minor females
and induced at least seven victims to produce sexually explicit images and videos
of themselves and transmit those images to

Jaramillo.
As part of his plea agreement, Jaramillo
must register as a sex offender in the place
where he resides, where he is an employee,
and where he is a student, under the Sex
Offender Registration and Notification Act
(SORNA).
Jaramillo and the government have
agreed that if the Court accepts the plea
agreement Jaramillo will be sentenced to
between 15 and 19 years in prison, followed by up to a lifetime of supervised release. U.S. District Judge Paul W. Grimm
has scheduled sentencing for September
21, 2016 at 9:30 a.m.
This case was brought as part of Project
Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative
launched in May 2006 by the Department
of Justice to combat the growing epidemic
of child sexual exploitation and abuse. Led
by the United States Attorneys Offices
and the Criminal Divisions Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, Project Safe
Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to locate, apprehend, and
prosecute individuals who sexually exploit
children, and to identify and rescue victims. For more information about Project

Feature Story
Proposed Zoning Tweaks

Draw Fire
By Dandan Zou
Staff Writer
County governments proposal to tweak

its 26-year-old zoning regulations allowing big reltail stores to come in drew fire
from the community during a public hearing held at the Calvert Pines Senior Center
on June 14.
The main issue at debate is whether the
county commissioners should approve the
text amendments that will change the zoning ordinance to allow for large retail stores
to move in Prince Frederick. In a packed
room filled with about 150 people, the
hearing was at times contentious as many
residents voiced their strong opposition to
passing the amendments.
Supporters of the zoning changes argue
the text amendments will pave the way for
the county to create new jobs, expand tax
base, diversify its economy and foster sustainable growth for generations to come.
Opponents are concerned that bringing in
big retail stores may lead to over-crowdedness and exacerbate traffic congestion
on Route 2/4. Some small business owners
and employees are also worried that local
business will not be able to compete with
the big retail stores and be forced out of
business.
Should the text amendments pass, the
residential density will almost double from
14 to 24 dwelling units per acre, and the
maximum building height will increase
from 50 to 60 feet. The maximum build-
ing size for home improvement centers,

retail commercial buildings and wholesale
business will jump from 25,000 to 150,000
square feet, which some residents interpreted as space reserved for home improvement stores like Home Depot or Lowes.
During a joint presentation at the beginning of the hearing, Department of Community Planning and Building Deputy
Director Mary Beth Cook and Economic
Development Director Linda Vassallo presented that the text amendments will create a climate to develop the Armory Square
project due to building size and height
restrictions.
The Armory Square Project concerns the
land use of a parcel at the southwest tip of
Prince Fredericks New Town District. Located at the intersection of Route 2/4 and
Dares Beach Rd., the Armory Square includes the former Calvert Middle School
site, the old National Guard Armory and
land owned by a private company Bargo.
The middle school was demolished in 2012.
Both the school site and the National Guard
Armory building belong to the county.
Commissioner Tom Hejl addressed
many residents worry that the proposed
economic development may turn the county seat into Waldorf, a town about 25 miles
northwest of Prince Frederick in Charles
County and considered by many an example of failed economic development in the

Local resident Sue Kullen opposes the text amendments
state of Maryland.
We will not become Waldorf, Hejl
said in a definite tone. He also argued that
bringing in retail stores would give residents, who may not have $20 of gas money to go to another county to shop, more
options.
Commissioner Mike Hart said he understood some residents concern about
increasing traffic congestion and overcrowdedness. But he stressed his deep worry about the countys over-dependence on
the energy sector for tax revenue.
Theres no other big revenue besides
power in this county, Hart said during the
hearing. You have to look into the future.
And I have two small children and say how
are we going to pay the mounting bills
coming.
According to a 2011 consultant study
frequently cited by text amendments supporters, Calvert is losing roughly $460
million in retail revenue to neighboring
counties. The study estimated the county
needs about 1.6 million square feet of retail
space to capture those lost sales. If accomplished, roughly 2,500 new jobs would
be created and an estimated $2 million real

Bernie Fowler, former county commissioner and

state senator, at the public hearing
property tax revenue would flow into the

county.
Frank Smith, an executive board member
of the Calvert Chamber of Commerce and
a small business owner himself, agreed.
The county has to change its current path,
he said. Otherwise county commissioners
will have no other choice but to continue
raising taxes.
In early June, five county commissioners passed local income tax and property
tax hikes for the first time in decades to
fill budget gap. Smith said the text amendments will open the door to allow for economic growth, affordable workforce housing, increased job opportunity and sustainable commercial tax base.
Local developer and third-generation
Calvert resident Randy Barrett reinforced
the idea of creating growth through bringing in retail business.
The retail sector behaves like sheep,
Barrett said. He continued to explain that
large retailers like Target, Kohls and others drive the development in the area.
Mid-box retailers usually follow big retail
stores. Then restaurants and the residential
component come in.
Multiple residents refuted the argument
that allowing big retail stores to come in
Calvert will bring in more jobs. On the
contrary, they believe that big chain retail
stores will crush small businesses. When
mom-and-pop shops go out of business,
jobs go away along with them, resulting in
a decrease of jobs, they argued.
Some residents also questioned the validity of the 2011 study and considered it
too outdated for todays consumer shopping trends. They argued that Calvert is not
losing retail sales to counties like California or Bowie, but to retailers online.
Some also opined that the infrastructure,
especially the roads, simply cannot support the traffic load created by proposed
development.
Scott Deacon, president of the Walnut
Creek Homeowners Association, wrote
in an email: The infrastructure has been
pressed to the point it can barely handle the
daily commuters.
More than one resident asked if the county commissioners had considered that the
cost of maintaining the road alone might
end up costing the county more than the

What concerns many long-term residents the most is losing what they consider
Calverts core character its rural, small
town feel.
We dont want to sell the county down
the river just to create a few sales, said Susie Hance-Wells, president of the Calvert
County Farm Bureau. It is the rest of our
lives. We live here. This is our home, and
we dont plan on leaving.
Local resident Holly Budd echoed
Hence-Wells sentiment. She said that she
and her husband moved to Calvert in the
early 1980s as newly-weds because they
loved the countys country feel.
We didnt come to Calvert County for
shopping. We came here to raise a family and have a farm by ourselves in the
woods, Budd said.
During the hearing that lasted more than
two hours, a majority of the residents said
they do not support the text amendments.
Those who voiced their oppositions generally received a round of applause while
supporters were greeted with silence after
their testimonies. Remarks of former county commissioner and state senator Bernie
Fowler received the biggest applause from
the audience.
The quality of life in Calvert County is
much more important than the convenience
of being able to walk to a big box store, the
92-year-old Fowler said. An overwhelming majority of the people of Calvert County that vote do not approve of this.
Nearly 40 residents provided feedback
on the proposed text amendments during
the hearing. The Board of Commissioners
voted to keep the public record open for
two more weeks. Residents have until 4:30
p.m. on Tuesday, June 28, to review the
text amendments and provide comments.
The text amendments can be found on the
countys government website (www.co.cal.
md.us/DocumentCenter/View/12057).
Residents can also mail written comments to Maureen Frederick, clerk to the
Board of County Commissioners, at 175
Main St., Prince Frederick, MD 20678, or
submit them via email (frederml@co.cal.

Not only is Calvert County home to
four outdoor farmers markets each week,
but there are an abundance of roadside

enjoying freshly harvested asparagus
and strawberries. Toward the end of June,
zucchini will start hitting the stands and
so will blueberries, raspberries and even
black raspberries.
Stop by a stand when you can or visit
one of Calvert Countys four outdoor
farmers markets and see what else is
in season. The market schedules are as
follows:

CMM VOLUNTEER COUNCIL ANNOUNCES

SHOLARSHIP WINNERS
What started as a mere idea a year ago
by the CMM Volunteer Council developed
into the awarding of five scholarships on
Friday, June 10, 2016 at the Calvert Marine Museum. The Volunteer Council, led
by President Judy Larsen and Vice President Ray Brule, wanted to give incentives
to young volunteers and established a new
scholarship program in early January for
students pursuing higher education. Five
$500 scholarships were awarded and presented by Squeak, CMMs very own otter.
The recipients are: Veronica Booth, Desree
Brown, Bethany Hoschar, Courtney Mattson, and Shayna Zabiegalski.
These young volunteers understand the
importance of giving back to the community and CMM is proud to have them
as members of the volunteer family. Im
proud of this award and have learned a lot
and got to meet a lot of great people. I started volunteering two years ago and this experience helped me decide that Biology and
Environmental Science was the field for

me, said award recipient Courtney Mattson. The program is open to applicants 25
years and younger who are in college, or
are graduating high school seniors headed
to college, and have completed 20 hours of
volunteer service at CMM during the year.
Assisting with the generous funding
to allow for five recipient awards was the
CMM Volunteer Council, Board of Governors, Patuxent Small Craft Guild, Canoe/
Kayak Club, and the Solomons Island Model Boat Club (SIMBC). This idea began
with offering one scholarship and we were
so pleased that the other clubs and Board
of Governors jumped on board, said Volunteer Council Vice President, Ray Brule.
For complete details and to learn more
about the program, contact the CMM Volunteer Coordinator at 410-326-2042, ext.

ATMOSPHERES
Prince Frederick Shopping Center (Rt. 4
and 231, Prince Frederick) - Wednesday to
Sunday: 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Five Artists share their visions in clay.
Featuring works by Ray Bogle, Denise Breitburg, Marie Estabrook, Randy Estabrook,
and Adam Sampson. June 8 to July 3, 2016
Reception: June 11, 5 to 8 p.m. This show
is shaping up to be a great show with many
non-traditional clay forms, vessels and
firing techniques. The artists are excited
about their work and are eager to share
their visions with the public. Ray Bogle has
been working with clay for over 25 years.
His creations range from dramatic showspecific works to fun personal designs. His
contributions to the craft have included
teaching classes for children as well as
adults, developing a variety of forms and
glazes, and perfecting techniques in the
ancient skill of Raku. Denise Breitburg is
a marine biologist at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center with a deep
passion for the beauty and the complexity
of the natural world. She says, Everything
about pottery is magical from the hypnotic spin of the potters wheel, to the transformation of a shapeless lump to a graceful
shape, to the mystery of colors appearing
in the heat of the kiln. Marie and Randy
Estabrook are a married couple sharing
the same passion for clay. This is our creative outlet- Randy and I make beautiful
ceramic art that reflects the designs and
patterns of the natural world, said Marie.
Adam Sampson is a our newest member
and we cant wait to see what he produces
for this show! Come join us for the opening reception where you can meet the artists, see their work and enjoy appetizers
and beverages. For more information, go

Heat Warning
Here are a few helpful tips for staying cool this summer: wear lightweight,
light-colored clothing and a hat;avoid
doing errands on hot, humid days. If
you must go out, plan to go in the early
morning when it is cooler.
Drink plenty of fluids and carry water with you; eat small meals, and eat
more often; avoid foods that are high in
protein; wear sunscreen if you will be
in direct sunlight. Contact your health
professional if you have any questions
about sun exposure while taking certain medications and what symptoms
to look for when getting overheated or
dehydrated. If there are three consecutive days of a 105 heat index (combination of temperature and humidity), the
County Heat Emergency Plan will go
into effect. On the third day of that high
heat index, effective until the temperature drops, certain County facilities are
open to the general public until 7 p.m.
To find your nearest county cooling
center, please call the Calvert County
Courthouse, 410-535-1600 or 301-8551243. Your senior centers are a great
place to beat the heat on a regular basis.

COMMISSIONERS
CORNER
Happy Belated Fathers Day
This past Sunday was a moment to remember the fathers in the world. All 5 of
your Calvert County Commissioners are
fathers; and three of them are grandfathers.
As I write this hoping to meet the publishing deadline, Ive just returned from
a long weekend visiting a 3rd cousin and
his family. Yes, as uncommon the name
Slaughenhoupt is, there are several of us
spread out throughout the nation.
Years ago as I researched my family history, I was speaking on the telephone with
my late father about the research. I mentioned to him, that my tracing of the family
line had me back to the early 1800s where
I was still trying to determine the father
of my Great-great-great-grandfather Jacob
Slaughenhoupt. When I mentioned I had
narrowed down the choices to Daniel, Jacob, Michael, and Samuel; my father said,
Well, thats why we call them our fore-fathers. That Slaughenhoupt sense of humor
is dry and my wife confirmed such when
By Evan Slaughenhoupt
Commissioner President
we visited my 3rd cousin.

Fathers do play an important role in the
raising of the next generation; whether it is
providing the discipline, guidance, or just
an example; it seems to me the differences
often noted between men and women allows for their offspring to benefit from
both traits of the sexes. These days, so
many seem to be confused about identity
and such; perhaps just taking some time (as
I did in the early 1990s) and do some family
research can help bring back some needed
alignment in our society. The very first
place to begin with that is a conversation
with your parents; and that surely could not
hurt anyone.
Whether fathers were celebrated, tolerated, or otherwise recognize this past weekend, at least there was some time set aside
to recognize them. I hope your fathers day
was a pleasant one.

A Letter to the Editor:

An Open Letter to the Citizens of Calvert and St. Marys Counties,
I am writing this letter to convey the
great honor you have given me while serving as your representative in the Maryland
House of Delegates. Always attempting to
take your elective franchise with the utmost sincerity, I have tried to execute my
obligations with the integrity and diligence
such a responsibility deserved. Being your
representative has been the experience of a
lifetime for me.
Public service can take many forms. The
time has come for me to transition to another venue for my continuing public service. Based on both my experience in the
military and private sectors as well as my
leadership on a broad range of public policy
matters in the Maryland General Assembly
over 22 years, Governor Larry Hogan will
be appointing me to serve for a full 5 year
term on the Maryland Public Service Commission (PSC), effective August 1, 2016.
On July 31, 2016, I will be resigning as a
member of the Maryland General Assembly. The very next day my public service
continues as a member of the PSC. I am
honored to be selected by Governor Hogan to serve in this very important position. It is also worth noting that Southern
Maryland officials have generally felt over
several administrations that it was important to our growing region of the state to
be represented on the PSC. The Governors
inherent recognition of Southern Maryland
with this appointment is appreciated.
There are too many people to thank by

name for all their support over all these
years as a candidate and elected official. If
you walked door-to-door with me, trained
me, called voters, put up campaign signs,
wrote letters, suggested legislation, helped
raise campaign funds, counseled or advised me, volunteered, donated time or
money, maybe walked in a parade with me,
or offered your assistance in any way, I say
thank you. If you criticized me in a constructive way, corrected me when needed,
or even opposed me outright over 6 general
election cycles, I thank you as well for you
made me sharper in ways that served the
public well. Also, I want to thank my fellow elected officials and public servants at
all levels of government. I know firsthand
the high ideals that most of these public
servants operate with and the sacrifices
that they and their families have made in
service to us all.
Most importantly, to the citizens of Calvert and St. Marys Counties, I want to express my profound respect and appreciation
for allowing me to proudly represent you
in the halls of Annapolis and throughout
our wonderful state and nation. I always
tried to do my best on your behalf. You are
the most wonderful neighbors, friends and
constituents a man could be blessed with.
Thank you for the opportunity and with the
highest personal regards, I remain
In Your Continuing Service,
Anthony J. Tony ODonnell
