COUNTY NEWS Heath Care Professionals Cover Affordable Health Care Act
The Calvert Gazette
daunting and intimidating, Shaw said. Because of this, Health Care Solutions representatives are making the rounds to the county health department, libraries and pharmacies to dispel misinformation and answer questions in person. The system is still evolving, Intner said. It wont be a solve all, he said, adding it will make health care a more team based approach. The goal it is to begin focusing on population health management and preventative care by making some screenings free and making health care more affordable for the general population. When asked how the health care act would affect individuals already insured through their employers, the speakers said they would have to talk to their employer. In addition to individual and family based plans, the health care act offers packages for small business owners. Each speaker was given 10 minutes to talk to be followed by a question and answer period. For more information, call 410-535-0291 or visit www.marylandhealthconnection.gov. sarahmiller@countytimes.ne
By Sarah Miller Staff Writer The Calvert County League of Women Voters hosted a panel about the Affordable Health Care Act Information Forum on Oct. 10. The panel featured the Governors Office of Health Care Reform Executive Director Carolyn Quattrocki, Calvert County Health Department Health Officer Dr. Lawrence Polsky, Head of Calvert Health Care Solutions Michael Shaw, Associate Vice President of Business Development With Calvert Memorial Hospital Scott Intner, and president of an employee benefits firm Jon Frank. Quattrocki said there are several important points to remember about the affordable health care act nobody can be turned down for insurance due to a preexisting condition, it will expand access to everyone and it reduces costs for individuals having to pay for their own health care. The affordable health care act offers a wide range of insurance and prices, Shaw said. For individuals and families who are having trouble making ends meet, the system offers subsidies and assistance. Choosing a health care option can be

By Sarah Miller Staff Writer In light of the number of government employees in a state of uncertainty, not sure when they will return to work or when their next paycheck will come, Chesapeake Cares Food Pantry has opened their doors on Oct. 7 and 14 to offer families additional time to come in and receive staples needed to stock their pantries and refrigerators through Food for Furlough. The pantry is a partner organization with End Hunger in Calvert County. Kelly Hauhn, a volunteer at Chesapeake Cares Food Pantry and a USDA employee currently furloughed during the government shutdown said the food pantrys efforts to reach out to furloughed employees is wonderful. Theres only so far emergency reserves can go, Hauhn said, adding all the planning in the world cant prepare someone to go without several paychecks with no warning. Depending on when the government reopens and the way pay cycles fall it could be mid- to late November before furloughed employees see a paycheck, Hauhn said. Hauhn and NASA employee Carol Wooten, also furloughed, both volunteer regularly with Chesapeake Cares. When they heard the pantry would be open an extra day during weeks the government is
closed they decided to lend a hand. The pantry has served hundreds of families during Food for Furlough, said Chesapeake Cares Pantry Manager Debbie Weber. They have spread the word on social media, such as Facebook and Twitter, and by word of mouth. They decided to implement Food for Furlough because of the high number of furloughed employees in the DC area, including Calvert, Weber said. The pantry will offer assistance after the government re-opens as well, Weber said. People wont immediately be paid and the money they would spend on food could fill a gas tank or another need. She said the pantry intends to help furloughed employees get back on their feet by offering support as long as necessary. For more information about Chesapeake Cares, visit www.facebook.com/ page s /Che sap e a ke - Ca re s -Food-Pa ntry/148048915235603 or call 410-2573444. The pantry is located at 6045 Solomons Island Road in Huntingtown. Normal business hours are Tuesdays from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. and Thursdays from 9:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. Additional hours and days are to be announced.

The constant clouds and threat of rain during the weekend couldnt keep the crowds away from the 36th annual Patuxent River Appreciation Days (PRAD), held on Oct. 12 and 13 at the Calvert Marine Museum. First time attendee Christina Buckwalter, who recently moved to Calvert County with her husband and children, said she loves that there are so Crafters displayed and sold their products at the annual Patuxent River Appreciation Days. many local festivals and wants to check them all out. For her, Amy Ontko shows off the boat she made. the nicest thing about PRAD was the set up that kept crowds spread out instead of concentrated in one area.

The park in Dowell and others in the county limit smokers to the parking lot.
actually increased. The main difference between smoking and breathing in second hand smoke is the level of toxic substances. Because smoke smokers breathe in is so hot the tobacco undergoes a chemical change and is less toxic. Secondhand smoke has more toxins because it has not been heated to as high a temperature. Conversely, smokers breathe in a much higher amount of smoke than do individuals who breathe in second hand smoke. Breathing in second hand smoke can trigger asthma attacks, he said, one of the biggest facts parents have used in encouraging the ban. Athletes whose asthma may be sufficiently controlled to allow them to play sports may be endangered by smokers lighting up too close to the fields, Ervin said.
As part of the effort to ban smoking at Calvert County parks, Bubser is circulating petitions. She carries one herself, and another two are available to sign at the World Gym locations in Prince Frederick and Owings, Bubser said. Her daughter and other young athletes have made anti-smoking posters. She has spoken to local PTA groups and churches to rally support for the cause. She encourages individuals to sign the petitions and write to the county commissioners asking for a total ban on smoking county owned parks. To contact Bubser, e-mail ccparkssmokingban@gmail.com.

This letters in response to Commissioner Slaughenhoupts letter, Oct. 3, Calvert Gazette, In Response, to my letter, Sept 26, Commissioners Must Institute a 100% No Smoking Policy at County Parks. Commissioner Slaughenhoupt as an elected official, we arent asking you to use your personal opinion when addressing our health and safety regarding the involuntary exposure to secondhand smoke. One would think, you would defer to the Surgeon General who is the nations highest ranking health officer. The President appoints the Surgeon General to help promote and protect the health of all Americans. The Surgeon General gives Americans the best scientific information available on how to improve their health and reduce their risk of illness and injury. The Health Consequences of Involuntary Exposure to Tobacco Smoke: A Report of the Surgeon General was prepared by many of the countrys leading scientist and public health experts. The Surgeon General believes the findings are very important to everyone. Listed below are some bullet points, from the report: 1. Exposure to secondhand smoke causes nearly 50, 000 deaths in Non-Smokers each year.1 a. Secondhand smoke causes 3,400 annual deaths from lung cancer in Non-Smokers.1 Secondhand smoke causes lung cancer in adults who themselves have never smoked. 1 b. Secondhand smoke causes 46,000 annual deaths from heart disease. Exposure to secondhand smoke has immediate adverse effects on the cardiovascular system and can cause coronary heart disease.1,8,9 2. Nonsmokers who are exposed to secondhand smoke are inhaling many of the same cancer-causing substances and poisons as smokers.1,2 a. Secondhand smoke contains more than 7,000 chemicals. Hundreds of them are toxic and 70 are known to cause cancer. b. Even brief secondhand smoke exposure can damage cells that set the cancer process in motion. 3. Breathing secondhand smoke can have immediate adverse effects on your blood and blood vessels, increasing the risk of having a heart attack.1,2 4. Secondhand Smoke Causes Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). Infants who die from SIDS have higher concentrations of nicotine in their lungs and higher levels of cotinine (a biological marker for secondhand smoke exposure) than infants who die from other cuases.1

You may or may not have heard that there is a proposal to re-tool the Dominion Cove Point LNG Facility near the end of Cove Point Road in Calvert County to enable liquefaction of LNG for export to companies of U. S. allies India and Japan. You may have heard about it in the context of an attempt by the Sierra Club to prevent the expansion based on a long-standing agreement. Or you may have heard about it on CNBC with regard to the effects on the future earnings of Dominion Corporation. Or you may have heard that the export proposal would benefit Calvert Countys commercial tax base. Or you may have heard misinformation from opponents of all sources of energy except solar and wind who give themselves euphemistic names like Climate Action Network. So, here are the facts that I want you to know today. There is a proposal to expand the facilities at Dominion Cove Point to include liquefaction of LNG for export. The project is proposed pending approval by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, or FERC, a federal agency. If approved, during peak construction, 3000 additional jobs are expected to be created. In anticipation of construction beginning in 2014, Dominion has hired IHI/Kiewit Cove Point, a joint
venture of IHI E & C International Corporation and Kiewit Energy Company, as its engineering, procurement, and construction (summarized as EPC) contractor. IHI/Kiewit has pledged to provide many opportunities to local, diverse and/or small businesses. That means that these opportunities are likely to be available either to you or to someone you know. How do you access these opportunities? IHI/Kiewit Cove Point has established a web portal for suppliers, subcontractors, construction product retailers and local businesses who are interested in pursuing opportunities made available by the proposed expansion at the Dominion Cove Point LNG Facility. That new website is currently accepting registration for material suppliers, subcontractors and service providers at www.1covepoint.com. Because the proposed project is so large ($3.4-$3.8 Billion), a wide variety of subcontractors, construction product suppliers, and service providers will be needed, including computer service suppliers, for example. If you want to obtain more information on the project, go to www.dom.com/business/gastransmission/cove-point/liquefaction.jsp where project newsletters are available as well as factual information on the project. If your Calvert County company needs assistance in order to register, please contact the Calvert County Department of Economic Development at www.ecalvert.com or at 410-535-4583. Stay tuned for more information as it becomes available.

The girls are encouraged to come dressed in their best zombie apparel, but to avoid having terrified tots; it is discouraged to have a costume more than what a Halloween adventure costume would look like. Troops selected to either come for Saturday festivities, camp out on Friday and Saturday night, or just Friday. Its at the discretion of each troop, Montes said. The third Zomb-O-Ree Encampment will take place Oct. 18 to 20 at Camp Winona in Hughesville. Most of the events will take place between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Saturday.

Over 850 runners, walkers, cheering spectators and volunteers crowded the streets and sidewalks of Solomons in a show of pink for Calvert Memorial Hospitals 4th Annual Breast Cancer 5K Walk/Run on Oct. 5. The record crowd brought in nearly $15,000 to benefit the Sheldon E. Goldberg Center for Breast Care at CMH. The event is so much more than a run/walk, said Mary Lingebach, the breast centers navigator. The 5K is a positive, uplifting experience for everyone involved. Theres a palpable sense of hope and joy in the air. For some it was a way to show their support for a great cause but for others it had a much deeper meaning. Many came to support a mom, to remember a friend, to celebrate a survivor and to honor a loved one. A group from the Bethel Way of the Cross Church in Huntingtown wore pink sashes that read: In support of Mildred Harmon. Health ministry volunteer Dianne Sewell said, We just wanted to do something to recognize her remarkable spirit. And even though the 80-year-old Prince Frederick resident was not able to attend she was deeply touched. That was so very special of them to do that, she said. I so appreciated it. The team for Southern Maryland Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery was 73 members strong. Our reasons for sponsoring the 5K are many, said practice manager Jackie Taylor. Most of us at SMOMS have had breast cancer personally affect our lives. We actually have one team member who is a survivor. She went on to add, We didnt expect it to take off the way it has. Our first year, we had 15 participants. The second year, 38 and this time we had 49 adults and 24 of our children walking with us. It is a great way for our office to celebrate each other, enjoy the beautiful outdoors and to encourage others to be proactive about their health. The turnout was pretty amazing, said Kasia Sweeney, spokesperson for the hospital. Its times like this when the light of our community shines the brightest. She said proceeds from the race will be used to expand support services available to all patients at the center as well as to support a special fund for patient financial assistance. Another major focus of the annual event is awareness.

Over 850 turned out to bring awareness to the importance of early detection at Calvert Memorial Hospitals 4th Annual Breast Cancer 5K.
ment of the Center for Breast Care, it continues to sustain itself because of you. Your generosity with your time, effort, contributions, will help to continue to maintain and improve the Center for Breast Care for patients and their families, and help to save countless others from the hardship of this disease. The participants came from far and wide inspired by the loved ones who have survived, motivated by those who continue the daily battle and determined to keep the memory alive of those who are now gone. The top finisher overall was John Urban, 35, of Prince Frederick with a time of 17:25. The top female was Karen Cipressi, 49, of Huntingtown who finished at 21:28. I was so happy to see such a large turnout, she said. My mom and sister are both cancer survivors so supporting a cause like this one is very important to me. For Elizabeth McClellan it was literally a team effort. Sidelined with a fractured ankle, the Calvert High School senior was pushed in a wheelchair by her teammates on the varsity volleyball team the entire 3.1-mile course around the island and across the finish line.
Young and old alike came out in record numbers for Calvert Memorial Hospitals 4th Annual Breast Cancer 5K that raised nearly $15,000.
The lively crowd at Calvert Memorial Hospitals 4th Annual Breast Cancer 5K Run/Walk took off when the horn sounded at the start of the race.

lar songs from their favorite bands, Sage has also composed 16 original songs together as a group, feeding off of shared experiences. While each song is significantly different, the band said that most of the ideas behind the songs come from relationships and other situations that they can relate to or have been through. While right now, the band is in the process of expanding, they seem determined to stay different from other music that is available right now. Were sticking with acoustic for now, Wathen said, adding that only time
will tell what the future holds in terms of their sound. Right now, the band is in the process of finding a drummer and adding more to their song set.
