Have We Overcome?
By Sarah Miller Staff Writer The marches and speeches that marked the Civil Rights movement are long finished, but Hazel Trice Edney asked if individuals should be satisfied in the state of the county. We shall overcome was once a rallying cry, but Edney doesnt hear it used anymore. Weve gotten quiet, and the reason, I think, is we believe we already have, Edney said during her keynote speech at the 27th annual Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Breakfast at the Rod and Reel in Chesapeake Beach on Jan. 21. She asked where the sense of accomplishment came from. African Americans have higher unemployment numbers, higher prison rates and higher dropout rates than other groups. She said they should praise God for having come so far, but the African American community still has work to do. Im here to tell you we have not overcome, she said. The nation has a false sense of achievement, she said.

By Sarah Miller Staff Writer It took five years, but the arduous process for revising the St. Leonard Town Center Master Plan is nearly at an end. At their Jan. 16 meeting, the Planning Commission voted unanimously to send the newest draft of the plan to the Board of County Commissioners for final approval. If the county commissioners approve the master plan, the planning commission will soon see the St. Leonard Zoning Ordinance for updates, said Department of Community Planning and Development Planner Jenny Plummer-Welker. Master plans and zoning ordinances are normally done back to back so ordinances reflect the master plan. In future updates, such as the Prince Frederick master plan, the county may revise the
two documents concurrently, Plummer-Welker said. In other business, the Planning Commission scaled back on their discussion of regulations for farm events, choosing to focus on the impact special events at farms have on traffic and adjoining properties. Planning commissioners will discuss farm produce stands if they become an issue. We were trying to anticipate what was coming down the pike, trying to solve problems that werent there, said board member Malcolm Funn. Both Department of Community Planning and Building Director Chuck Johnston and Commission attorney John Yacovelle cautioned commission members farm stand regulations and events on farm properties should not be pushed too far back. Both will be issues in coming years. sarahmiller@countytimes.net

Before receiving their materials, Dill, an attorney with Ferrante & Dill, met with the students. They discussed procedures, submitting evidence into record and courtroom decorum. Previously she served as a mock trial judge, but this year she became a coach to refresh her skills and become involved with teens, she explained. Instead of jury trials, the students present bench trials, Crosby said. This years trial involves a defendant accused of dog fighting. She said students quickly decided he was guilty, but upon reading the information they found circumstantial evidence opened to interpretation. Cases do not have a pre-determined outcome, Crosby said.

to the consumer, who is also paying more to buy gas to get to work and back. I could list a myriad of details supporting both sides of the opposing views of raising taxes vs. controlling spending. Which is it for you? Raise taxes or control spending on the state and county level? Or how about controlling spending before raising taxes is considered? Many of us are not getting raises and our income is not increasing. Many of us have lost or are losing employment. I heard about 20 employees losing their jobs in Calvert County this week. Food pantries are inundated with those who are working, but cannot stretch their budgets to cover food. Meanwhile, the cost of goods and services is steadily rising. Can you work hard, play by the rules, and still get ahead while paying more in taxes? Or are you finding it tougher and tougher to make ends meet? This basic difference in values: whether you should pay more or whether you should keep more is where we find ourselves, and behind this dichotomy is the role of a county commissioner. Is there a way to continue to do it all with less? Property tax assessments in the second district of Calvert County just declined again, equating to less money coming in, while the teachers pension phase-in equates to more money going out, yet the demands for more spending continue to escalate. Stay tuned as we do our very best to represent you.

They treated my mother like she was their mother, said Mary-Ann Hill of the care her mother received at the Burnett Calvert Hospice House. Mary-Anns mother Willie passed away in July. After in-home care was no longer viable, Willie spent the final two weeks of her life in the hospice house. They were reluctant at first, MaryAnn said. Her mother did not want to be in a nursing home, and Mary-Ann wanted to respect her wishes. A social worker with Calvert Hospice explained what hospice provides and why it was the right choice for the Hills situation. Based upon her personal experience Mary-Ann and her husband, Doug Hill, ABC 7 News meteorologist, accepted the honorary chairmen position for this years fundraising campaign. The hospice house, three months into its annual campaign, needs an additional $192,000, said Director of Development Linda Gottfried. While successful, the Festival of Trees fundraiser does not cover the $400,000 budget for house. The full Calvert Hospices budget is approximately $3.5 million, said Executive Director Brenda Laughhunn. Medicare and other insurance companies pay 90 percent of the cost. What insurance doesnt pay, individuals pay on a sliding scale. Nobody in need is turned away, Laughhunn said. If an individual is uninsured or has no means to pay for care, she said Calvert Hospice absorbs the cost for treating them. This year, Calvert Hospice fundrais-
ing campaign is focused on 512 individuals, families or businesses giving $375 or more. Laughhunn said so far 184 of the 25,000 households in Calvert have responded to letters asking for support. Were going to create some buzz about the 512.
The hospice house has six patient rooms, community areas for families to relax, a dining room and full kitchen, play areas for children and a meditation room for quiet reflection and memorial services. When entering the hospice house, Doug doesnt sense people are dying. Hospice workers made it okay for the Hills to go on with their lives and take care of what needed to be done, MaryAnn said. The night before her mother died, Mary Ann received a call from the hospice house with an update on her condition. While Mary-Ann was ready to get up and go right to the house, the social worker told her there would be time in the morning. When they arrived, MaryAnn found someone had been with her mother around the clock, telling her the family was on their way. Mary-Ann and Doug told her they were there and they loved her, then stepped out for a moment to take a phone call and get a cup of coffee. During the short time she was alone, Willie died. Individuals sign a do not resuscitate form when entering hospice, MaryAnn said. For an individual suffering from a chronic illness, continually resuscitating them can be cruel and insensitive, Doug said. The purpose of hospice is to make the end of life as meaningful and comfortable as possible. Calvert Hospice offers bereavement services for children, teens and adults.
Personal Experience
An unofficial policy discourages individuals from volunteering for hospice within a year of their loved ones death, Laughhunn said. When the Hills approached her wanting to volunteer, she said she hesitated before offering the position of honorary chairmen for the fundraising campaign. His status as chief meteorologist with ABC7/WJLA-TV and his familys connections in the community could be useful in persuading individuals to join the 512 in donating to hospice, Doug said. We wanted to what we could as long as we could, Mary-Ann said. This year, the Hills role is behind the scenes, Mary-Ann said. She intends to get involved in a more direct capacity in coming years, possibly by helping plan and implement large-scale fundraising events. Doug hopes their involvement in Calvert Hospice can raise awareness of what the group can offer. Its more than just a place to die, he said, citing the doctors, nurses, councilors, social workers and volunteers available to families and patients 24 hours per day, seven days a week. Laughhunn said a common misconception is entering hospice care means giving up. Aggressive treatment drains a person, and can sometimes be as much a problem as the illness. Some individuals no longer fail to thrive under pain treatment, talking to

social workers, lawyers and even spiritual care and can be released from hospice care because they are getting better, Laughhunn said. Hospice does play a role in endof-life care, Laughhunn said. Anyone diagnosed with a chronic illness only treatable with aggressive measures, such as cancer, should talk to hospice as well as their physician. Hospice can help ensure a client has a high quality of life during their final days and months. Laughhunn, a registered nurse, was touched by hospice early in her adult life. Her mother had cancer and, when curative treatment failed, she entered hospice care. After her mothers death, Laughhunn began working with hospice facilities to offer the same care to others. Before living in Maryland, Laughhunn worked in Illinois, Virginia, Hawaii and Oregon. Her husband was a chaplain in the Air Force, and wherever they landed she would work with a local hospice center. Gottfried stepped into her position seven months ago, shortly after Laughhunn. The organization has recently gone through transition and restructuring, Laughhunn said. She has helped eliminate redundant roles and stream-
lined the entry process for patients. Calvert Hospice can serves 40 patients a day. During 2012, Calvert Hospice has served 345 individuals. On average, hospice care costs $135 per person per day, Gottfried said. Calvert Hospice will celebrate its 30th anniversary in 2014. A volunteer board has governed the non-profit organization since its inception, Laughhunn said. The hospice house opened in 2010. Getting funds to build the house was the easy part, Laughhunn said. Its not quite so romantic to keep it going, she said. Hospice will touch every life, either by entering hospice care or by having a loved one in hospice care, Laughhunn said. Because so much funding comes from Medicare and insurance companies with similar provisions, increased demand for hospice care will normally correlate with increased funding. Increased demand will mean more need for benevolent care to take care of uninsured persons.

By Sarah Miller Staff Writer This time of year is perfect for a backyard promotion. Restaurant business slows down in during winter, according to Tourism Program Specialist Joyce Baki. Restaurant Week offers a chance to attract customers during the off-season. Calvert is the latest county across the country to host a restaurant week, planning a 10-day tribute to local eateries Feb. 1-10. After eating at a participating restaurant, customers will receive a response card. Anyone who fills out and returns a card will be included in a drawing for one of four prize packages on Jan. 17, according to Tourism Program Specialist Joyce Baki. Participating restaurants donated prizes, and Baki is working with hotel-based participants for weekend packages to add to the pot. Three hotels are associated with this years Restaurant Week Holiday Inn in Solomons, Hilton Garden Inn in Lusby and Chesapeake Beach Resort and Spa, Baki said. When planning restaurant week, Baki said the Department of Economic Development studied jurisdictions and
18
states with similar programs countrywide. Ocean Citys model was especially helpful, Baki said. Both locations have an assortment of restaurants, from national chains to locally owned mom and pop establishments. Ive always been amazed at the flavors and offerings in Calvert County, Baki said. Restaurants include small businesses such as Captain Bigs, Anthony's Bar and Grill and Yo Mammas Chicken Wings and BBQ and chain restaurants such as Applebee's, Outback Steakhouse and IHOP. Specialty stores such as Blondie's Baking Company and Smoothie King will participate in the event. Baki was anticipating 15 restaurants to participate but more than 30 have expressed an interest
or signed up. Each location will offer a special Restaurant Week menu in addition to their normal offerings. Restaurant owners design the menus to allow individuals to try new restaurants without breaking the bank, with all offerings raging from $5 to $30, Maybe you can find a new favorite or just broaden your horizons, Baki said. Restaurant week will be Feb. 1-10. For more information, including a list of all involved restaurants and menus, visit www.choosecalvert.com/restaurantweek. sarahmiller@countytimes.net

private school said. Northern High School, Barstow Elementary and the College of Southern Maryland are among schools scheduled this year. CSMs upcoming display in May will be the first time CalvART features a college, according to Chambers. We need to recognize the cultural significance of art and encourage that at a young age, Chambers said. Student shows offer wide exposure for student art and give students a chance to make money by selling works. Chambers said the council plans to expand the student gallery so more schools can participate during the year. Frankly, I wish we had a gallery just for student art, Chambers said. The council grants more than
$20,000 to art teachers to fund programs and projects they could not normally afford, Chambers said. The amount requested was nearly $40,000 last year. Rent and fundraising make up 40 percent of the councils budget. Money from the county and the Maryland State Arts Council make up the remaining 60 percent of the budget. Attracting more artists to fill the empty slots and hosting additional fundraisers would help the council to meet more need in the county, Chambers said. Its a very lean budget and most of it goes to grants. The main gallery is the most attractive in the state attached to an arts council, Wardrup said. While similar galleries crowd as much art as possible in a small space, CalvART has space for individuals to stand back and study a piece before purchasing it. Everything on display at the gallery is available for purchase. The gallery features guest artists and different art forms every month. February will have a display dedicated to Black History Month. Additional programs include open mic poetry nights. The next open mic is with guest poet Carol Harvat on Feb. 8 from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Harvat will share selections from Recipes for Life. The hors doeuvres served will reflect food she wrote about, according to Chambers. sarahmiller@countytimes.net
