Oct. 29. In other news, the commissioners discussed regulations governing shooting ranges. When discussing hours of operations, they considered whether night shoots should be allowed. Night shooting would include police training, said Planning Commission member Mike Phipps. Not all criminals operate in the daylight, said Planning Commission member Robert Reed. They chose to make hours of operation dawn to dusk, and approved the change for discussion at the Oct. 29 joint hearing with the Board of County Commissioners. sarahmiller@countytimes.net
Changes to Shooting Range, Liquid Natural Gas Ordinances Move to Public Hearing
By Sarah Miller Staff Writer As the planned export facility at Dominion Cove Point moved forward, the county is working to pave the way. At their Sept. 18 meeting, the Planning Commission approved a proposed amendment to the Calvert County Zoning Ordinance that would exempt a liquid natural gas import or export facility from local regulation to go to various agencies for their comments. Planning Commission member Carolyn McHugh made a motion to send the proposal to the appropriate state and local agencies for comment. The board then gave members of the community a chance to comment on the matter. One community member asked if local officials have considered the implications the massive project will have on area road traffic and nearby conservation areas. Another asked what the county would do if federal regulations allow the facility to do something the county would not normally allow. The commission had no answers, but encouraged community members to come to a public hearing regarding the topic on

By Sarah Miller Staff Writer After hours were cut at the Dowell Post Office in March, Dowell resident Dona Staniec first noticed disruptions in her mail delivery when she stopped receiving Costco coupon books. Mail addressed to her and all addresses in the 20629 zip code go to a post office where the address must mention the post office box assigned to that address or noted at General Delivery. If these are not noted, the mail is returned to sender for incomplete address, she said. I recently had surgery and received flowers from a neighbor. I cannot send a thank you note, as I dont know their post office box number. We entertain a lot and people come to our physical address. If they send a thank you to that address, it is returned to sender because they dont know our post office box. We recently went to a baptism and brought a gift. The invitation was hand delivered to our address. We have not received an acknowledgement that they received the gift. We have sent wedding gifts and graduation gifts in the last few months. No acknowledgement was received from those recipients either, Staniec said. The citizens of Dowell, when surveyed, overwhelmingly approved maintaining their local Post Office, said United States Post Office Communications Programs Specialist Laura Dvorak. Mail service at Dowell continues to be processed to correct delivery addresses, which includes PO Box numbers. The hours at Dowell Post Office were reduced, as were hours at many other USPS retail operations nationwide, as part of a USPS business plan to achieve financial stability and preserve affordable mail service for the American public. Lobby notices informed customers that they would need to request that mail be addressed to their PO Box number. Each PO Box received this information, and each letter received that did not have a PO Box as address received a hand-affixed label asking the customer to correct the mailing address with the sender. An additional notice explained that package mail needed to include both physical address and PO Box address, separated by slash, Dvorak said. Staniec has lived at the same address for eight years and, until March, never had to instruct anyone to send mail to a PO box or add general delivery to have her mail delivered.
Delivery Failure
There was no warning that the practice would change when the hours were cut, and notices werent posted until after she and other residents raised concerns. Its bizarre, she said. Like Staniec, Dowell resident Bob Laughlin was unaware of any change to delivery practices until after it was made. Thats absurd, Laughlin said. Were not living in a hamlet in the African Sudan.
Dowell residents need to give the address of the Post Office not our home, or the package could be returned to sender, Staniec said. Letters to the Postmaster General and Congressman have gone unanswered, she said. Customers who have questions or concerns may contact consumer affairs at 1-800-ASK-USPS 800-275-8777. sarahmiller@countytimes.net

Calvert Marine Museum Receives Institute of Museum and Library Services Grant
The Calvert Marine Museum (CMM) has been selected to receive a fiscal year 2013 Museums for America award from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), a Federal granting agency. This grant of $142,500 will support our Estuarium renovations project River to Bay: Reflections and Connections. This grant is being matched with a $25,000 grant from the Maryland Heritage Area Program, $25,000 in private contributions, and over $250,000 in labor. CMM plans to keep the Estuarium open through December and begin demolition when the museum closes in January 2014 for the renovation project. The Estuarium project has a projected completion date of fall of 2014. The project will include five new aquarium tanks with new inserts to enhance the bay and oyster tanks; six interactive stations including touch screens, sounds, and tactile models; new graphic and text panels throughout the exhibit; and new species and diversities will be exhibited. The interactive component of the project is supported by a Maryland Heritage Area Program grant. This year, the IMLS received 597 applications requesting $67,249,256 in funds. Of these, 170 projects (28 percent) were selected to receive funding. The staff of the Calvert Marine Museum is thrilled to have been awarded this prestigious grant from IMLS. Dave Moyer, Curator of Estuarine Biology and Project Manager stated, We are honored to have the support of the federal government in facilitating our museums ability to affect positive environmental change in the communities of Southern Maryland and beyond. This opportunity to enhance how we engage our audience is a culmination of years of planning and months of hard work by our staff and regional partners. Look for River to Bay: Reflections and Connections to open in the fall of 2014 and track our progress of the renovation on Facebook and Twitter.

On Tuesday, August 6, I appeared in front of the Commissioners requesting a 100% No Smoking policy at our county parks, be implemented. I also wanted to address an email I received from one of the Commissioners. The Commissioners email read, speaking for myself you should be aware that you are asking us to remove or otherwise restrict the rights of your fellow citizens. Many will disagree with that as doing so requires a very high standard which simply in this case makes little common sense. I am not asking to restrict the rights of my fellow citizens. Nobody has the right to subject me, my children or anyone else to a class A carcinogen, which is classified, as a cancer causing agent, therefore, I am not taking away anybodys rights. I am not infringing on anyones right to smoke, its about the smoke, not the smoker. Instead, its to decrease the involuntary exposure to secondhand smoke. According to the Surgeon General secondhand smoke contains more than 7,000 chemicals. Hundreds of them are toxic and 70 are known to cause cancer. Secondhand smoke especially

Maryland, where he was introduced to electronics and general radio technology, training which would be the cornerstone on which Raymond would build his later career. In August 1943, he was inducted into the United States Army and sent to Riverside, California, to attend Radio Technician School prior to deployment to the war zone. Before Raymond was sent overseas, World War II, in both the Atlantic and the Pacific, would end. On February 5, 1946, he received an Honorable Discharge from the U.S. Army in the rank of Technician Fifth Grade (Technical Corporal). He was awarded the American Campaign Medal, the World War II Victory Medal, as well as a Good Conduct Medal for his service to the United States during WWII. Upon discharge from the Army, Raymond returned to Calvert County where he pursued a career as an electrician. Subsequent to earning a State of Maryland Master Electricians license he was employed by the U.S. Navy at the U. S. Mine Warfare Test Station in Solomons Island, Maryland. He was later appointed to a position as an Engineering Technician at the Naval Research Laboratory, Chesapeake Bay Detachment, Chesapeake Beach, Maryland, where he subsequently would be promoted to the position of Facilities Manager of the Chesapeake Bay Detachment. He continued in that position until he retired on June 3, 1983 after 42 years of combined service in the Department of the Navy and the U.S. Army. Like most farmers or farmers sons, Raymond felt a need to be engaged continuously in worthwhile activities and so did not remain idle for long. In 1985 he went to work for the Calvert County Government as an Electrical Inspector in the Department of Inspections and Permits. In June 1995, following ten years of service with Calvert County, now nearly 72 years of age, Raymond again decided to retire. This time permanently. Raymond Trott was one of those genuine people that come along only infrequently. Those who knew him respected him for his honesty, his integrity and his service to others. He lived by the personal credo that he had a responsibility to help others whenever he could. He would abide by that philosophy all of his life. He served as President of the Huntingtown Volunteer Fire Department from 1974 to 1976; and he was an EMT as well, only stopping this latter involvement as he grew older and came to realize that running on the ambulance was something that should be left to the younger volunteers. He was a life-long member of the Huntingtown United Methodist Church where he served on various church committees and was involved in many projects over the years. Raymonds service to community extended to outreach organizations such as the Prince Frederick Masonic Lodge No. 142, A.F & A.M. where he was a member for over sixty years, and where he served as Worshipful Master in 1962. He also was a member of the Order of the Eastern Star for over sixty years where he was a Past Patron of Prince Frederick Chapter No. 104, and Unity Chapter No. 112. He was also a Past Grand Patron (1999-2000) of the Grand Chapter of Maryland, Order of the Eastern Star and was appointed to the Membership Committee by the General Grand Chapter (International) of the Order of the Eastern Star (2003-2006). He was a member of Boumi Temple A.A.O.N.M.S., Baltimore, Maryland, Scottish Rite Valley of Baltimore and Valley of Southern Maryland, Pa-Po-Peake Shrine Club of Southern Maryland, Past Masters of Southern Maryland, National Sojourners, Old Dominion Chapter #364, Alexandria, Va. and Heroes of 76. Raymond would lead an active life until he became ill. He and his wife, Donna, loved to travel by air, land, or sea (especially cruising). They
traveled far and wide: from Australia to Alaska and many places in between, including spending summer and fall days at the beach in Ocean City, Maryland. Raymond loved baseball generally: he coached the Huntingtown Babe Ruth team for several years in the early 1970s. He also had a special interest in the old Washington Senators. He also was a long-time season-ticket holder and ardent fan of his favorite football team, The Washington Redskins. He loved the outdoors, and in the spring and summer would sit outside his home in Huntingtown, listening to the sounds of birds at play and catching a glimpse of a deer or two passing close by. Raymond is survived by his wife, Donna McDonald Trott, of 22 years; sons: Robert Allen Trott and his wife, Theresa, and David Arthur Trott and his wife, Colleen, both of Huntingtown; daughter, Brenda Elaine (Trott) Allen and her husband, Peter, of Palmyra, Va.; Step-Daughter, Cheryl Ann (Cook) Simms and her husband, Mark, of Huntingtown; 8 grandchildren; 10 great grandchildren; and 3 great-great grandchildren. Friends and family were received on Sunday from 2 to 4 p.m. and 6 to 8 p.m. at Rausch Funeral Home, and on Monday Sept. 23, from 10 to 11 a.m. at Huntingtown U.M. Church, where a funeral service and celebration of Raymonds life followed at 11a.m.. Interment will be at Miranda Cemetery, Huntingtown, Md. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be given to Charlotte Hall Veterans Home, Veterans Assistance Fund, 29449 Charlotte Hall Road, Charlotte Hall, MD 20622, or to Hospice of St. Marys, P.O. Box 625, Leonardtown, MD 20650 in memory of Raymond G. Trott.
Paul L. Berry
Paul L. Berry was born in San Jose, Calif., Sept. 4, 1921, the only son of Elmer G. and Nellie B. Berry. By 1932 the family moved from California to Montgomery County, Maryland with relatives where they remained
until Pauls father was killed in an auto accident in 1934. Following this he and his mother moved from Maryland to Washington, D.C. where they lived for a number of years. During this time Paul graduated from Woodrow Wilson High School in 1939 and American University in 1943. While at AU he met fellow student Doris Patterson whom he married in 1945. That same year, Paul joined the staff of the Library of Congress where he remained in service until he retired in January, 1980. During his tenure there, he advanced in various positions of increasing responsibility in the area of public reference. In the 1980s Paul was also on the Board of Trustees of American University and Board Secretary for several years. In 1981, Paul and Doris built a house on Battle Creek in Calvert County, MD. During this period they enjoyed traveling and took many trips to Italy, Mexico, and Great Britain. In October 1996, they moved to Asbury Solomons Island. In 1982 Paul began his service as the volunteer librarian at the Calvert Marine Museum where he served for over 30 years and accumulated almost 27,000 volunteer hours. In recognition of his remarkable service and contribution to the museum, the library was renamed in his honor in 2007: the Paul. L. Berry Reference Library. He is also the only volunteer to receive his own telephone extension, parking space, and mailbox recognition of his place as a respected member of the staff. In 1984 he assumed editorship of the museums newsletter, the Bugeye Times, creating such a high standard that it won numerous publication awards over the years. Paul also served on the museums Board of Governors from 1984 to 1990, and served as president of the board for four of those years. During this period he was also active in volunteer service in the Calvert County Historic District Commission. In 1991 Paul joined the Board of Directors of the American Chestnut Land Trust where he served with the utmost integrity and sense of responsibility for over 20 years. Pauls leadership skills were immediately recognized with his election as board secretary in 1992 and as treasurer from 1996 to 2013. As treasurer, Paul became a beloved volunteer member of the staff, spending hours in the office on a weekly basis overseeing the accurate recording of the trusts financial records. He served on various committees throughout his tenure on the board and as the unofficial historian of the land trust. In 2005, Paul was awarded the American Chestnut Land Trusts Presidents Award for his outstanding efforts in pursuit of the conservation of the natural and cultural resources of Calvert County, Maryland. Paul is survived by Doris, his wife of 68 years, his daughter Marsha J. Berry of St. Paul, Mn., his son Don L. Berry, wife Cassie Bosley and her two sons Morgan and Severn, of Shepherdstown, WVA. Memorial contributions may be given to the Calvert Marine Museum, P.O. Box 94, Solomons, MD 20688 and the American Chestnut Land Trust, P.O. Box 2363, Prince Frederick, MD 20678.

Love, the Middle Eastern Project
By Kimberly Alston Contributing Writer Aaron and Maryam Malone are breaking cultural barriers and boundaries through the universal language: music. While Aaron Malone has trained for years in western and classical music- the violin and viola, Maryam Malone has been trained in Eastern music, specifically for the tar. Because the two genres have never been crossed before, there was no music for the couple to be able to play together. Once they realized their problem, they decided to do something about it. The Malones decided to compose their own pieces to play. Originally, the couple created between two and three minute pieces in different house and chamber settings before, the piece took on a life of its own, said Aaron Malone. When they realized the music could speak for and bridge the gap between American and Middle Eastern cultures, they figured that the traditions and inspirations they took on while composing their music could be a strong significance in something bigger. The Malones have been actively composing for about 18 months now and are in the process of developing an album, showcasing the blending of sounds and subsequent cultures. They hope to begin touring the central east coast of the United States in the coming months. Aaron Malone pointed out that while there is so much interest in their project in Turkey and in the Middle East, the United States does not really know or understand what is happening. This may be one of the first, if not the first, times the tar has been used in American music, he said. Through this, he feels as through both he and his wife could become cross boarder ambassadors of some sort just by sharing their love of music. Its bigger than just us, he said. The Malones have started a kickstarter campaign, an element in fundraising which helps them to cover the costs that come with building an album as well as the documentary project they are also taking on. The kickstarter, they hope, will cover studio time, mixing and editing of the album, a film crew, publicist, website and photography. In their campaign, they are asking for $12,000 to help cover all of those expenses. The campaign ends on Sunday, Oct. 6. As of Sept. 24, the Malones have gotten

62 backers, people that have pledged money to their cause, and $3,504 of their $12,000. The Malones hope that through their work, a deeper love of music might be forged for people around the world. They hope that their project might spark an interest in other musicians as well. They believe that others may become more interested in different instruments that are not readily used in their particular culture and that through their work, others might be inspired. This project has had more pull than anything else Ive done before, Malone said. kimberlyalston@countytimes.net

Acting on Wheels
By Kimberly Alston Contributing Writer The New Direction Community Theatre is hosting its ninth performance, Come Blow Your Horn By Neil Simon, the weekends of Sept. 27 at the Long Beach Community Center, and Oct. 4, at the College of Southern Maryland, Prince Frederick campus at 7 p.m. with an Oct. 6 performance at 2 p.m. The play, according to the New Direction website, is the story of a young mans decision to leave the home of his parents for the bachelor pad of his older brother who leads a swinging 60s lifestyle. The cast of Come Blow Your Horn consists of six performers, all of which are regulars when it comes to the performing aspect. Sherry Mervine said that some of the actors have worked together in previous theaters, which made the rehearsals easier when it came to the relationships. Stage manager Gabriel Kesler describes the play as a family dealing with relationships as children grow up and leave their parents. Working with New Direction, Kesler said the experience has made him appreciate his time with theatre as a whole. New Direction is one of the closest knit community theatres that Ive been a part of, he said. While New Direction is smaller than some of the programs he has been a part of, he said that the biggest challenge is the funding. The problem, he said, comes from the lack of money that being part of a new community theatre program comes with. So much of what we can and cannot do is based on funding, he said, because the talent from New Direction is at least equal to every other theatre group around us. Mervine stated that having the same venue for all of their performances this year, CSM, has been a big help, but because, we dont usually get into the space we are preforming at until about 24 hours beforehand, the cast has to be well practiced beforehand. One of the biggest goals of New Direction, right now, is finding a permanent home. Weve been rehearsing at community centers but its not the same, Kesler said, adding, to a certain degree it is an obstacle that we have to overcome. The lack of a physical building has not discouraged the New Direction community, it has encouraged them. We have a lot more pride in the work we do, Kesler said. New Direction Community Theatre has been around since 2010, putting on productions such as, An Evening of One Acts, The Odd Couple and Holka Polka.
