instigate a hazardous materials survey to research potential hazards such as lead and asbestos, as well as conduct a site survey, complete a scope of work and erosion control plans, Fenwick said. If found, taking care of hazardous materials could drive up the cost of demolition, he said. The county will then publish an invitation to bid. Though a slow process, Fenwick said progress is being made and there is no question the project will come to fruition. Well be successful, well get through this and well get it done, Fenwick said. Once the houses are gone, Calvert County Principal Planner David Brownlee said no further construction will be allowed on them. Instead the lots will be replanted. All ten properties, scattered along the cliffs, from Scientists Cliffs, the Calvert Ranch Estates, are south of Prince Fredrick, Fenwick said. sarahmiller@countytimes.net

By Sarah Miller Staff Writer Newly elected Board of Education members Joe Chenelly and Kelly McConkey attended their first two meeting Nov. 8 and Nov. 15, but were not permitted to attend the executive sessions at the beginning. The exclusion was intentional as one board member wanted to keep them out until they are sworn in during the Jan. 10 meeting, according to sources wishing to remain anonymous. Longstanding board member Gene Karol said it is customary for new members to attend the sessions, adding he

Happy THanksgiving!
By Sarah Miller Staff Writer The day after Thanksgiving the halls of Huntingtown High School will be decked for the 24th Annual Festival of Trees benefiting the Burnett-Calvert Hospice House. This year, more than 60 trees will line the halls. Jeanne Coonan, Festival of Trees Coordinator, said volunteers find organizations and individuals to sponsor trees. Sponsors can choose to decorate their tree or have volunteers decorate it. Bob Hall of Bob Hall LLC, a local beer distributor, donated trucks and drivers to deliver the trees on Nov. 26. Some sponsors keep their trees while others donate them to organizations, such as the public library and the Boys and Girls Club. Down from the North Pole, Santa Claus will be available for breakfast and lunch Nov. 24, and all weekend for photo opportunities, Coonan said. For the first time this year, Hospice will host a Gingerbread House Competition. Coonan encourages participants to drop off their creations Friday, Saturday or Sunday morning. Judging will be Nov. 25 at 2 p.m., she said, adding interest seems high based upon receiving several calls.

YOUR
TANK TO TANKLESS!
The computer automatically ignites the burner.
Call us today for a free estimate on converting your hot water system to a more efficient tankless system.
A hot water tap is turned on.
Mention our ad and receive a $500.00 discount on the unit and installation.
STEP 1
Cold water enters the heater & the flow sensor detects the water flow.
STEP 2
STEP 3
Water circulates through the heat exchanger. The burner heats the water to the designated temperature.
STEP 4
The Noritz tankless water heater provides an endless stream of hot water. When the tap is turned off, the unit shuts off.
STEP 5
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.

I cant believe that it is Thanksgiving. I want to depart from my usual format and share with you my top ten list of what makes me feel thankful. We have so much for which to be thankful in Calvert County. First, and foremost, I am thankful that I can practice my religion without fear. I could also choose not to endorse any religion, and that choice would not instill fear. I can publicly say, to God goes the glory which I believe, and

[Volunteering] could be anything, Yaffe said, based upon their talents and the time they have to offer. The Arc promotes community involvement, independence and personal success for children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, according to the organizations website. Our core belief is that those who receive services should have as much control of their own lives as possible. We strive to help all achieve their individual goals and expand their horizons. The organization started in Southern Maryland in 1975 and today works with families and individuals throughout Calvert, Charles and St. Marys counties. Some volunteers work though the United Way to help the Arc on the Annual Day of Caring, others work at the organization on a regular basis. One man came in to take individuals fishing. Volunteers work on landscaping around the Arcs group homes, or directly with clients by taking them to lunch and other activities. Volunteers working with Arcs clients undergo a background check, because they will be working with individuals who can be pretty vulnerable, according to Yaffe. One of the highlights of Yaffes career involved a young man who worked at the Safeway in Dunkirk and was spotlighted on the local Comcast station. Another of Yaffes favorite moments is a woman, with mobility issues when she started attending the Arcs weekly yoga class, who can now stand up unassisted from sitting on the floor. While our focus is providing services in these three
counties, we are part of a larger network in Maryland that includes The Arc of Maryland, located in Annapolis, and 10 other chapters around the state. Together we are working to change lives and minds in Maryland about developmental disability, according to the website. To read more about Arcs history and statewide campaign called Changing Minds, a making a difference in our counties and around the state, go to the website www.arcsomd.org. sarahmiller@countytimes.net

ing the bass parts and Latchaw on tenor. The men said they decided they had something and, rather than join one of the existing groups at Trinity United Methodist Church, they started an original project. Latchaw and Johnson are the only two founding members still in the band, Johnson said. The rest of the band is comprised of Latchaws daughter, Victoria Latchaw, on fiddle, John Gearon on guitar and Frank Tilly on bass. Unclouded Day plays at Trinity United Methodist Church once per month, but Latchaw said they have gigs at other churches and religious functions throughout the rest of the month. When they go to locations not religious in nature, such as local wineries, he said they play as the Baybilly Band. When playing under that name, they lean toward
more county music, though there is still a bluegrass and folk flavor, Latchaw said. Occasionally they will play one of Latchaws originals, but the majority of the bands repertoire, under either name, is comprised of covers, Johnson said. They spend most of their time in Calvert County, but Johnson said the band has traveled to Virginia, Baltimore and Annapolis to play at gigs for friends. As the Baybilly Band, he said they are available for private functions. For more information about Unclouded Day, visit www.reverbnation.com/theuncloudedday or www.facebook.com/theuncloudedday. To book the Baybilly Band, call 443-223-8130 or email tlatchaw@comcast.net. sarahmiller@countytimes.net
