Nourishing the Community

By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
Volunteers at St. Pauls Episcopal
Church in Prince Frederick received food
from the Maryland Food Bank and Farming for Hunger on Aug. 21 to distribute to
people in need in the community.
This is St. Pauls third year serving as a
distribution hub, said Vestry Member Joel
Davis. Food is available to everyone who
shows up, he said, and anything they dont

give out on distribution day is donated to
End Hunger, Project ECHO, SMILE, or
another organization.
The church serves approximately 300
families every distribution day, said
church administrator Tammy Watts.
Most of the people who get food are
elderly, disabled, or grandparents raising
their grandchildren, Davis said.
The churchs distribution day is the
third Friday of every month, and they are
always looking for volunteers to come lend
a hand. Volunteers dont have to be a member of the church, Davis said, but they do
have to be willing to serve.

Center via Maryland State Police Helicopter. Burkman was suffering from
life threatening injuries. The other occupants of the Jeep were identified as Tyler James Fortney (19 St. Leonard, Md.),
Catherine Jordan Findley (18 Prince
Frederick, Md.), and Kyle Nicholas
Hooper (18 Prince Frederick, Md.). All
three sustained non-life threatening injuries and were transported to a hospital
for treatment.
Preliminary investigation indicated
that speed and alcohol are factors in
the crash. The crash is being investigated by Dfc. W. Beisel of the Calvert
County Sheriffs Office Crash Reconstruction Unit. Anyone with information
about the crash can call 410-535-2800 or
email beiselww@co.cal.md.us.
On Aug. 24, at approximately 2313

hours the Calvert County Sheriffs Office responded to Calvert Beach Rd. and
Forest Trail in St. Leonard, Md. 20685
for a single vehicle crash. A 1999 Jeep
Cherokee ran off the road and struck
a tree. The Jeep was traveling west on
Calvert Beach Road when it failed to
negotiate a sweeping left turn in the
roadway. The Jeep crossed the center
line and the west bound lane and left
the roadway briefly. The Jeep then reentered the roadway and started rotating
in a clockwise direction. The Jeep continued across both lanes of the road and
left the road on the east bound side. The
Jeep struck a tree and continued to rotate
around the tree. The driver, 18 year old
Makayla Lee Burkman of Port Republic,
Md., was pinned in the vehicle.
EMS crews worked for approximately
an hour before they were able to extricate Burkman from the Jeep. Burkman
was taken to Prince Georges Medical

Commissioners Consider
Additional Uses in
Industrial Zones
By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
The Board of County Commissioners

discussed additional uses to be permitted in
light industrial zones within the county.
According to information at the meeting, the Board of County Commissioners
requested that staff draft text amendments,
which would permit indoor commercial recreation facilities within the Light Industrial
zoning district. A similar text amendment
was considered in 2014 but the amendment
was adopted to only permit indoor commercial recreation facilities in the Employment
Center.
Possible additional uses may include indoor sports activity centers, indoor bingo
halls, fitness centers, performing arts studios,
and craft studios.
Parents of local gymnastic students came
out to support the amendment, saying the
county needs places for gymnastic schools to
expand and offer older students more opportunities similar to ones they could find in St.
Marys and Charles counties.
The matter will go to the Planning Commission for further study. For more information, visit www.co.cal.md.us.

Hogan Administration Debuts

New, Efficient VEIP Self-Service
Kiosk to Improve Convenience
The Hogan administration today announced
that Maryland vehicle owners can now test
vehicle emissions using a new, convenient
self-service Vehicle Emission Inspection Program (VEIP) kiosk. Two VEIP self-service
kiosks, one located at the Glen Burnie VEIP
station and one located at the Gaithersburg
MVA branch office, are available 24 hours a
day, seven days a week. Jointly administered
by the Maryland Department of Transportations Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA)
and the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE), the new VEIP kiosk now works
at the convenience of Marylandersany day,
any time.
My administration is committed to making state government and its services more efficient and more responsive, Governor Hogan
said. Todays announcement demonstrates
how we are expanding available technology to
bring the residents of Maryland a faster, more
convenient way to do business and help protect
the environmenta win-win for all.
MDE Secretary Ben Grumbles today joined
Deputy Transportation Secretary James F.
Ports Jr. and MVA Administrator Milton
Chaffee to demonstrate how the VEIP selfservice kiosk works. The new kiosk is part of
a one-year pilot program that uses innovative
inspection technology to simplify the vehicle
emissions testing process. Users simply plug a
device into their vehicles computer diagnostic
system to determine whether their vehicles
engine is working properly and whether its

emissions are meeting Marylands environmental standards. The process takes less than
10 minutes.
Model year 2005 and newer light-duty vehicles and model year 2008 and newer heavyduty vehicles are eligible to use the self-service
VEIP kiosk. About 900,000 vehicles on an
annual basis, or 58 percent of vehicles tested
each year, will be eligible to use the kiosk. The
cost for the VEIP test is $14 whether administered through the traditional stations or the
new kiosks.
The Federal Clean Air Act requires the
testing of vehicle emissions, and in Maryland, vehicle emission systems inspection is
required every two years. Although there are
many sources of pollutants that contribute to
ground-level ozone, automobiles and light
trucks emissions remain the major source in
Maryland. Keeping vehicle emissions to acceptable standards significantly helps reduce
ground-level ozone.
The one-year pilot program will assess the
operational benefits and public acceptance of
the new technology. Environmental Systems
Products of Maryland, Inc. (ESP) is the private
contractor responsible for day-to-day testing
operations. The VEIP testing network consists
of 18 centralized inspection stations located in
13 counties and Baltimore City.

Nighttime Cargo Deliveries

Will Impact US 301 Traffic
for Several Weeks
The first of 28 overnight hauling operations begins tomorrow for the CPV
St. Charles Energy Center on Billingsley Road in Charles County. The hauling
route extends from the Aqualand Marina
in Newburg to White Plains.
Coordinated by Roll-Lift USA, a convoy of nearly two dozen trucks will move
large cargo to the St. Charles facility
that is under construction. Each convoy
will travel approximately 5 mph and use
both northbound lanes of US 301 from
Orlando Park Drive, located just north
of the Governor Harry W. Nice Memorial Bridge, to Billingsley Road in White
Plains. Motorists will not be able to pass
the convoy. If traffic delays become significant, the convoy will stop at one of
nine pause point locations where police
will direct traffic past the convoy.
Transports will be scheduled between
9 p.m. and 5 a.m. Monday night through
early Friday morning over the next few
weeks until all of the cargo is transported. Motorists will encounter delays
on northbound US 301 during the hauling operation. SHA and law enforcement
suggest travelers avoid the area. If roadways remain closed after 5 a.m., notice of
the extended closures will be posted on
the county website (www.CharlesCountyMD.gov). The County will also send
notification via the Citizen Notification

System (CNS).
Portable variable message signs are in
place along US 301 and Billingsley Road
to advise motorists to expect delays during the heavy haul convoys. Roll-Lift
USA coordinated the 28 hauls with the
Charles County Sheriff's Office, Maryland State Police, Maryland Department
of Transportation's State Highway Administration (SHA) and local emergency
responders to ensure that each haul is
conducted safely and with minimal impacts to the community and traveling
public.
The largest pieces of equipment arrived at Aqualand Marina by ship. From
there, they will be placed on specially designed heavy haul vehicles for transport
to the CPV St. Charles Energy Center on
Billingsley Road.
CPV St. Charles Energy Center, a natural gas-fired power plant under construction, will generate enough electricity to
power about 700,000 homes while reducing sulfur, nitrogen and carbon emissions
by 65 to 99 percent compared to other
plants. More information about the plant
is available at http://cpvstcharles.com.

Maryland Rural
Counties Coalition
Calvert County recently joined the Maryland Rural Counties Coalition, an affiliate
of the Maryland Association of Counties
(MACo) which is a non-partisan organization working cooperatively to advocate for
and represent the needs of our states rural
communities.
The coalition promotes the development
and implementation of effective legislation
and regulations that benefit Marylands rural
communities and economies; works closely
with the State government and members of the
General Assembly; and cooperatively shares
knowledge among member counties to develop innovative best practices to addressing
challenges facing rural communities.
Key Focus Areas include:
Drug Crisis: The heroin epidemic that is impacting Maryland has hit rural counties hard.
It is important that elected officials and staff
from rural counties be engaged on this issue,
lest we end up with a one size fits all approach to this complex issue.
Economic Development: Marylands economy continues to struggle due to high tax burdens, an onerous regulatory environment, and
an over reliance on the feds, meds, and beds
economies of the urban areas of the state. The
Coalition serves as a resource for information and a conduit for generating proposals to
improve the economic climate of not only our
rural counties, but the state as a whole.

firmly dedicated to preserving the beautiful

natural landscapes and open spaces that define
our counties. The Coalition will continue to
focus on ways to improve environmental policies by pursuing initiatives like streamlining
the process to receive State approval for innovative and low-cost Best Management Practices, improving the water quality of the Chesapeake Bay by fostering better oyster habitats,
and urging that State mandates regarding environmental efforts be based on sound science
and realistic cost-benefit analyses.
Health Care: Rural communities face distinct healthcare challenges, including limited
health providers and public transportation, as
well as difficulty recruiting and retaining physicians and other healthcare professionals. The
Coalition will work on efforts to improve rural
health by working to enhance recruitment and
retention programs and reimbursement rates
for rural service delivery.
Calvert now joins Allegany, Caroline, Carroll, Cecil, Dorchester, Frederick, Garrett,

Ursula Dwan Jaeger

died peacefully on Aug.
18, at Calvert Memorial
Hospital in Prince Frederick, Md., following a
long struggle with pulmonary disease. Ursula
was born on March 1,
1942, in Washington, D.C., the fourth
child of Mr. Ralph H. Dwan and Mrs.
Mary Cochrane Dwan. She spent her
childhood in Washington, D.C., attending Blessed Sacrament Elementary
School (55) and Georgetown Visitation
Preparatory School (59) before enrolling to Georgetown University School of
Nursing. During her tenure at Georgetown, Ursula took a leave of absence to
pursue her religious vocation, joining a
community of nuns known as the Medical Mission Sisters. She completed her
religious training at the Medical Mission Sisters motherhouse in Philadelphia before taking vows and returning
to Georgetown to complete her nursing
degree (67). In autumn 1967, she was
sent by the Medical Mission Sisters to
language school in Cuernavaca, Mexico,
in preparation for a mission placement
in Latin America. In Cuernavaca, Ursula met her future husband, Robert A.
Jaeger, of Ft. Wayne, Ind. Then a Roman Catholic Priest, Robert was a fellow student at the language school, and
in spite of their clerical appointments,
Robert and Ursula fell in love. After
parting ways, they maintained a correspondence, eventually Robert wrote to
Ursula asking her to marry him. She accepted. Robert and Ursula were married
in January, 1969, in Pittsburgh, Pa. They
both worked at Mayview State Psychiatric Hospital before moving to Scranton.
In 1971, Robert and Ursula adopted their
first child, Jonathan. They returned to
western Pennsylvania in 1972, settling
in Peters Township, and later that year
they adopted their second child, Anna.
Their third child, David, was adopted
in 1975. In 1977, the family moved to
Amwell Township, to a house in the
countryside outside of little Washington. Their fourth child, Nicholas, was
born in 1978. They continued living in
Washington County until 2008. In 2008,
Ursula and Robert retired to her fam-
ilys cabin at Scientists Cliffs, a community located on the western shore of

the Chesapeake Bay in southern Md.
There she spent the remaining years of
her life. During her 31 years living in
Washington, Pa., Ursula was an active
community member, volunteering for a
variety of organizations, participating
in and leading initiatives at Immaculate
Conception Church, and advocating for
and championing equality, womens empowerment, and health, among other issues. Ursula is survived by her husband,
Robert, her children, Jonathan (Linda
Lindsey), Anna (Charles Patrick), and
Nicholas (Brenna Clair Thomas), her
sister in law, Mary Dwan, and brother
in law, Sam Ellsworth, as well as eight
grandchildren, seven nieces and nephews, twenty-one grand-nieces and nephews, and many beloved friends and family members. A funeral mass was held
on Monday, Aug. 24, at St. John Vianney
Church in Prince Frederick, Md. Ursula
will be missed dearly by the many persons whose lives she touched.

Polishing the Jewel of the Chesapeake

North Beach Renaissance Underway
By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
North Beach has gone from worst to first, said
Mayor Mark Frazer of the town during the official
ribbon cutting of Sunrise Garden, located at Bay Avenue and Third Street.
The park marks a step toward the future for North
Beach, going from a renaissance to planning and
building the future of the municipality.
During the parks opening celebration, Senator
Mike Miller spoke to the shady past the town has
fought to shed. Miller grew up in Southern Maryland
and enjoyed hanging around North Beach, much to
his mothers dismay. Now, he visits the town for an
entirely different reason. He has been an advocate for
a number of the municipalitys projects in Annapolis.
Mark and the town council had to sell their vision, Miller said.
Governor Larry Hogan congratulated the town on
its efforts during the parks opening, which was his
first public appearance since being diagnosed with
cancer. He said he looks forward to coming back
soon and watching the sunrise from the park.
In addition to Miller and Hogan, the parks opening
was attended by members of the North Beach Town
Council and the Calvert County Board of County
Commissioners, and Mayor Bruce Wahl from neighboring Chesapeake Beach.
The grand opening coincided with a visit from a
Community Planning Assistant Team (CPAT) from
Governor Larry Hogan congratulates North Beach.
Mayor Mark Frazer and Governor Larry Hogan check out Sunrise Gardens water features.
the American Planning Association (APA).

The team arrived Aug. 20 and spent three
days meeting with town planners and developers, visiting local restaurants and business
owners, and special interest groups.
We believe North Beach is a special place,
Frazer said.
There is still undeveloped property on the
waterfront, he said, and during the CPAT visit
the planners made suggestions to capitalize on
the prime real estate. Their preliminary plan,
presented on Aug. 23, recommended putting
a performing arts facility on the waterfront,
and proposed an empty lot on Third Street and
Chesapeake Avenue for a new building to house
the Twin Beaches branch of Calvert Library.
The plan is intended to ensure North Beach
property us used to best benefit local residents,
visitors, and the town government itself, Frazer
said.
In the future, Frazer hopes to see the town
qualify to be a state Arts and Entertainment
Photos by Frank Marquart
District.
Its a worthy objective but not an easy one to
obtain, Frazer said, adding that the town is currently not prepared to apply for the distinction.
The CPATs final report will be delivered
within the next two months and will be posted
on the towns website. The CPAT plan will be
used in considering the next projects the town
will undertake. North Beach is currently completing a number of high dollar projects, Frazer
said, and in the next year projects will include
sidewalk and storm water management maintenance, but nothing as ambitious as the park.
Planning in the next year will include town
hall meetings, work sessions, and additional
research to build upon the CPAT recommendations. There are no large projects on the immediate horizon, Frazer said.

Historic Sotterley Plantation cordially invites the

public to attend the opening
of its first permanent exhibit,
Land, Lives and Labor on
Friday, September 11, 2015
at 10:00 AM in Historic Sotterleys 18th century Warehouse. This important milestone in the interpretation
of Sotterleys history will be
commemorated with guest
speakers from St. Marys
College of Maryland and the
Smithsonians National Museum of African American
History and Culture. Following the presentation, visitors
will have the opportunity to
tour the new exhibit, as well
as experience all of Sotterleys rich history.
This long awaited project
began with a Maryland African American Heritage Preservation Grant that allowed
for the restoration of Historic
Sotterleys 19th century Corn
Crib. Funded also in part by

Sotterley supporters, The
Land, Lives and Labor exhibit located both inside and
outside the Corn Crib offers
visitors a unique view of life
at Sotterley from the workers
perspectives, both enslaved
and free. The exhibit gives
voice to those who far too
often had none. Their stories
were heavily researched and
include primary documents,
oral histories and interactive
hands-on features, as well as
a display of historic tools and
equipment used to work the
grounds at Sotterley. Land
Lives and labor can be experienced year-round on any
day the site is open.

opening ceremony are appreciated, and can be made to officemanager@sotterley.org or

Hidden Harbour,
Hidden Gem
By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
It takes a little effort to
find the aptly named Hidden Harbour restaurant off
Dowell Road in Lusby, but
its well worth the trip.
Its a good little spot,
said Owner April Ricker.
Hidden Harbour features
a Caribbean-inspired menu,
which includes jerk chicken, hamburgers, and more.
The restaurants specialty is
a Cuban Ruben, Ricker said.
Hidden Harbour doesnt
have a crab cake because
there are so many nearby
restaurants known for their
crab cakes, Ricker said. Instead, there is a Crab Solo-
mon - crab cake filling fried

in a wonton.
Opening her own restaurant has been the fulfillment
of a dream for Ricker, who
has been in the food industry since she was a teenager.
Its what I know, its
what I love, Ricker said.
Hidden Harbour opened
on April 11, Ricker said.
She tried to get the space
two years ago, but missed
the opportunity by a day.
This time, she and her husband jumped at the chance
to take over the business.
Her family remains involved, Ricker said, with
her daughter, Meagan,
working as a waitress.
Despite having such an
out of the way location, business has been good during the
summer, Ricker said. Hidden
Harbour will close in November
for the winter and reopen in late

March or early April in 2016.

Press Release
David Williams drove to his fourth

win of the season in last Friday nights
30-lap Limited Late Model headliner at
Potomac Speedway. The win for Williams, his career 38th in the class, was
his 90th overall Potomac feature win in
his illustrious career at the speedway.
Billy Tucker and Brandon Long
brought the field to green with Long
shooting into the race lead as the field
completed the first circuit. Longs lead
would only last another lap as Daryl
Hills swept by to become the new pacesetter on lap-three with David Williams
in tow. Williams snuck by Hills on the
13th lap to become the third, and final
leader, however the race was far from
over. Williams and Hills would battle
furiously over the final 17-circuits but
Williams would repel the challenges
and take the win by two car lengths at
the checkered flag. This was a little redemption here tonight. Williams stated
in his post race interview. The last time
we raced here we let one get away due
to driver error and I wasnt going to let
that happen again. Fall like track conditions helped propel Williams to the win.
This track has the best surface in the
region. Said Williams. I was able to go
high or low tonight and find where our
car was working best and Im thrilled to
get another win for this team. Hills, the
current class point leader, hung tough
for second with Billy Tucker, Brandon
Long and Jamie Sutphin rounding out
the top-five. Heats went to Tyler Emory
and Daryl Hills.
Former track champion Barry Williams Sr. became the fourth different
winner with his first win of 2015 in the
16-lap Street Stock feature. Williams
drew the pole for the feature and would
eventually lead all 16-laps, but would
have to fend off a pesky Mike Franklin
the entire way to post his 21st career Po-
tomac feature win. Chuck Bowie took

third with Ed Pope Jr. and Lloyd Deans
completing the top-five.
In support class action Greg Morgan
roared to his second win of the season in
the 15-lap Hobby Stock feature, Jeremy
Pilkerton scored his third win in the 15lap U-Car main and John Hardesty was
declared the winner of the 15-lap Strictly Stock contest as apparent winner Ed
Pope Sr.failed a post race inspection.

Solomons Island has long

been a destination for people
from all over. With its beautiful views and warm weather, it
makes it a perfect spot for the
2015 Solomons Plein Air Festival, an open air painting extravaganza hosted and run by carmens gallery. This year it will
take place Sept. 15 through 20,
and the 25 hand-picked
artists from around the
country will be judged
by the famed artist Hiu
Lai Chong.
According to the
Solomons Plein Air Festival website, Plein Air
is a style of art that is
simply painted outside
instead of in a studio.
This comes from the
French en plein air
which translates to in
the open air. According to the Albin Polasek
Museum and Sculpture Gardens, Plein Air
painting emerged from
Impressionism
and
Monet is a well-known
painter of this style.
Although Plein Air events and festivals
have been hosted all around the world, carmens gallery started the Plein Air Festival
around four years ago, but carmens gallery
owner Carmen Lee Nance Gambrill has been
hosting various versions of Plein Air events
for around 25 years. Gambrill began the Plein
Air events when she realized that visitors to
Solomons Island skipped over the arts and
she felt she needed to bring attention to the
artistic talent in the area.
I wanted to show them that art is important, we do art here, said Gambrill.
The artists will paint Tuesday through Friday, and turn in their paintings on Friday at
noon.
Some paint three pictures, some paint 23
pictures, said Gambrill.
Each painting done at the festival is
stamped to indicate that it has created as a
part of the event and no photographs are allowed by the artists.
Throughout the four days, the artists are
required to paint in Solomons Island, but for
one day, Sept. 16, they may paint anywhere
in Calvert County. They will have a Quick
Draw on Sept. 17, where the artists have two
hours to paint the sunset at the Riverwalk.
The public is welcome to join and compete
with the artists for a $25 fee. After the buzzer
goes off, all artists stop painting, the pieces
are judged and awarded and

then become available for sale.
On Saturday morning they
will host Paint the Town for a
Cause, where anyone of any
level and age can come and
paint what they see, including
some antique cars that will be
part of the view for the day.
When the event is finished, artists can sell their work, where
40% of the profit will go to
charity. There will be cash
awards this day and the
pieces will be judged by
Carolyn Egeli.
On Saturday night,
the artists work will be
displayed in carmens
gallery for the Affaire
of the Arts event. The
backyard of the gallery
will be transformed
into a wonderland, as
Gambrill described it
and will be accessible
with a $25 fee that can
go towards the purchase
of a painting. There will
be a band, a bar, and
awards will be given.
carmens gallery is happy to announce that last
year they raised around
$10,000 to donate to selected charities and
gave over $10,000 in prizes.
The paintings will be held in carmens gallery until Sunday at 4 p.m. when they will
then be taken down and brought back with
artists.
According to Gambrill, the festival is a
community effort from both businesses and
residents. They have been planning this
years event since February with the help of
around 40 different, fully committed sponsors, with Avian as their presenting sponsor
and Smeco, Solomons Business Association
and Robert Mondavi Winery as the three silver sponsors.
carmens gallery says that nothing would
be at all possible without the collectors and
the public supporting art sales, so come on
down and enjoy the music, food, live creativity and details from the artists themselves.
Whats better than having a glass of wine
with an artist, buying a painting and making
your life more beautiful, said Gambrill.

Plein Air Festival and the schedule of events,

From my Backyard to our Bay

A St. Marys County Residents Guide to Improving Our Environment and Drinking Water
From My Backyard
to Our Bay was first
developed by the Baltimore
County Soil Conservation
District. From there, the
booklet was given to each
of the Soil Conservation
Districts in the Chesapeake
Bay watershed area for
customization. If the 17.5
million residents who live in
the watershed area of the
Chesapeake Bay read this
booklet, and took to heart
its suggestions and best
practices, the Chesapeake
Bay would see a dramatic
increase in health. Obtain
a FREE copy of the
booklet by going to the St.
Marys River Watershed
Association, smrwa.org and
downloading it. The booklet
is available at Wentworth
Nursery in Charlotte Hall;
Chicken Scratch in Park
Hall; The Greenery in
Hollywood; Good Earth
Natural Food; and the St.
Marys Soil Conservation
District in Leonardtown.
Join your local watershed
association and make a
difference for Our Bay!

Forest Stewardship
Forest land is important to the overall
health of the Chesapeake Bay. Forests
provide several layers, from the canopy
to the forest floor, that act as filters,
improve water quality, reduce sedimentation, remove nutrients, and regulate
stream flow during storms.
Marylands 2.5 million acres of forest,
most of it privately owned, cover approximately 42% of its land area. St.
Marys Countys land area is about 50%
forested, and has more than 400 miles
of shoreline. Wooded buffers along
these shorelines are critical to improving Bay health. Acre for acre, forested
lands produced the least amount of runoff and pollution. The County occupies
a forest transitional zone, where the
dominant tree species vary from oak/
hickory to tulip poplar to sweet gum/red
maple and loblolly pine.
Forests can be harvested on a sustainable basis for materials, including
structural lumber, crates, shelving
and furniture, flooring, mulch, and
pulp for paper. Forests can, in most
cases, provide these products while
Plant a Tree
County residents with questions about

woodland stewardship and management, as well as timber harvesting,
should contact a certified forester. The
State of Maryland maintains a database

are closely monitored by a partnership
of agencies, including St. Marys Soil
Conservation District and St. Marys
County Department of Land Use and
Growth Management.
Go to trees.maryland.gov for information on planting trees. There is a Recommended Tree List for the program
Marylanders Plant Trees. There is a
$25.00 coupon on the website for purchasing a tree. However, the tree must
be on the eligible list of trees. There are
14 small trees, or 29 large trees on the
list that is updated periodically.
