La Plata Man Charged


With Theft From
Veterans Charity
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer

The director of the Southern Maryland Veterans


Association (SMVA) has officially accused a former
employee of stealing money and material from collection stations in Calvert County that was supposed to go
towards helping homeless and destiture veterans.
Norman Randolph McDonald, 48, allegedly stole
money from the charity between June and December
of last year from the Safeway and Wal-Mart in Dunkirk
and also the Giant food store in Dunkirk.
According to charging documents written out by
Daniel Timothy Brashear, McDonald was employeed
as solicitation supervisor for the veterans charity.
Brashear alleged that McDonald embezzled approximately $6,000 in community donated funds by
collecting SMVA donation containers from our solicitors, counting out the funds before the other solicitors
and pocketing the funds.
The defendant then either failed to forward these
funds to the proper recipient or mistated and failed
to provide reciepts for the amount of donations as required by company policy.
Though McDonald has been officially charged, regional law enforcement has taken notice of the charity.
St. Marys County Sheriff Timothy K. Cameron confirmed that detectives in his agency are investigating a

Members of the boards of county commissioners (BOCCs) from Calvert, Charles


and St. Marys counties met Tuesday in
Prince Frederick in an unprecedented action to discuss the future of the Tri-County
Animal Shelter (TCAS).
The board members from each of the
counties attended the public hearing to first
talk about needed renovations at the TCAS
in Hughesville and then share opinions on
whether the counties should continue to
fund a single shelter, build a new shelter
or if each county should construct its own
shelter. It was the first time commissioners
from the tri-county BOCCs met in a public
hearing to discuss a regional issue.
During the meeting, Calvert County Animal Control Chief Craig Dichter briefed
the commissioners on various areas of concern at the TCAS including the lack of air
conditioning in the 71 dog kennels, needed
expansions and additional staff. There was
also debate on whether the shelter should
shift to a no-kill facility. The boards
agreed to make a decision within 90 days
on how to address the lack of air conditioning before the summer months.
Clearly we are at a crossroads with
the shelter, said Calvert County Commissioner President Evan Slaughenhoupt,
Jr. Our populations and demographics

Local watermen have cause
to be thankful, according to
Tommy Zinn, president of the
Calvert Watermens Association, since this season marks
three years in a row of productive oyster harvesting.
It may not be quite as good
as it was last year, Zinn told
The Calvert County Times.
But Id call it a fair to good
season.
Oysters in Maryland waters
have made somewhat of a resurrgence in the past several years
with what appears to be a developing resistance to diseases like
MSX and dermo that have decimated the populations of the native oyster for the past several
decades.
However, warmer waters
during the fall at the beginning
of the season meant that oysters
were only now reaching their
best size when waters were

have significantly shifted since the shelter


opened in the mid-1960s. Now each county
has different fee structures and licensing
regulations.
This is the start of a conversation,
Slaughenhoupt added. We would like to
hear more from our citizens before reaching our final decision.
The board members are seeking public
input on this issue. To view the public hearing in Calvert County, please visit www.

citizen complaint about a donation made to SMVA.


Calls to Brashear seeking comment on this story
were not returned as of press time.
Brashear went on to allege in charging papers filed
in the Calvert County District Court that after McDonald was terminated several of the solicitors told him of
thefts committed by McDonald on a weekly basis.
Brashear also alleged that McDonald attempted to
intimidate the solicitors not to report to me the amounts
he collected and retained either through use of physical
force, employment threats or false claims of theft being
brought against them.
McDonald is also accused of stealing $4,000 worth
of materials used to solicit donations such as signs, donation containers, labels and even computers.
McDonald is also a registered sex offender in Maryland, having been convicted of a third-degree sex offense in Prince Georges County back in 2001, according to the states sex offender registry.
The registrant knew the victim and the victims
family, according to the registry. When the offense
occurred the victim was a middle-school aged child.
McDonald is set for an initial court appearance next
month; the two theft counts being pursued against him
could net 15 years in prison each if he is convicted of
both counts.

turning cold.
Still death rates of oysters
that Zinn and other watermen
have observed in Southern
Maryland have been low.
Either the diseases are not
has bad as they have been or
they [the oysters] are developing
a resistance to them, he said.
Were not seeing as many dead
oysters at all.
They seem to be holding
their own.
The states Department of
Natural Resources also recently
opened 10 oyster harvest reserve areas; they were essentially meant to allow limited
harvesting on a rotating basis
after being seeded.
Zinn said that most of those
zones being opened helped watermen on the Eastern Shore
and other areas than the Patuxent River region but they still
amounted to a shot in the arm.

Plastic Bags Should No Longer


Be Used When Recycling
Plastic Bag and Plastic Film
Ban in effect at Prince Georges
Materials Recycling Facility

St. Marys County has been informed that


plastic bags and plastic film can no longer be
recycled with the other single stream recyclables currently collected at the six Convenience
Centers. Plastic bags (i.e. grocery, tall kitchen,
and heavy duty bags) create operational problems, safety concerns, and hazards to the processors equipment, specifically the conveyor
belts used in sorting single stream recyclables,
as seen in this video https://www.youtube.com/
watch?v=vIYLnHQ9peM. Loads with plastic
bags/plastic film will be considered contaminated and rejected, causing additional fees for
the County and zero credit toward its recycling
efforts. Until technology catches up with a solution to address this issue, plastic bags and plastic film will be banned from the convenience
center single stream collection.
Effective immediately, citizens who use
plastic bags at home to collect your recyclables
should not throw the entire bag into the recycling
container. Rather, dump the recyclables out of
the bag and dispose of the bag into a collection
container located near the recycling containers

at the Convenience Centers. Attendants will


be available on-site for any assistance you may
need. Please recycle plastic bags at other local
vendors (grocery, chain, department stores) or
consider reusing them as demonstrated at http://
www.wikihow.com/Recycle-Old-Plastic-Bags.
St. Marys County is researching user-friendly alternatives for the separate collection of
plastic bags, evaluating TREX as a recycling
possibility, and exploring the feasibility of using other recycling processors. The County appreciates those citizens who realize the environmental and cost benefits of recycling and trust
recycling efforts will continue.
The good news ... St. Marys Countys recycling rate for 2014 is 44.20% (well above the
State mandated 20%) and the Countys overall waste diversion rate is just over 50%. St.
Marys currently ranks #3 out of all the comparable counties in Maryland with populations of
150,000 or less.

Bridges: A Support Group


for the Whole Family
If you have lived in Calvert County for any amount of
time, you have probably heard PSA announcements or
seen flyers throughout the county for Calvert Hospices
Bereavement programs for children: Camp Phoenix
and Bridges. But unless you have suffered a loss in your
family, you may not know much about either one. The
new session of Bridges starts on Feb. 25, and we thought
it was time to tell you a little bit about it.
What is Bridges?
Bridges is a grief support group for children and
adults that runs for eight consecutive Thursdays. Children are placed in age-appropriate groups, and adults
have a group of their own that meets at the same time.
While children spend time learning different coping
skills and learning how to connect with each other
through shared grief, adults learn techniques for dealing with grieving children and coping skills for their
own grief. They form new friendships with other participants who are in the same situation and gain access
to several helpful grief resources.
The childrens groups use creative outlets and various techniques to explore grief and teach coping skills.
Facilitators lead activities in arts and crafts, play games
with the children, encourage children to share stories
of their loved one, and provide much needed play time.
There is a special Volcano Room filled with balls, hula
hoops, and other items that help kids blow off excess
steam and work off some of the energy they build up in
group. The children have the opportunity to form new

friendships with other kids who understand what they


are going through something that is hard to find in
most social settings.
Who can participate?
We have groups for children ages 6 to 17. Adult family members attend with their children. Losses do not
have to be recent; we understand that each persons
grief journey is unique. However, the group is specifically targeted to those with children. We offer many
other grief support groups in the community for adults
only.
How do I apply?
You can download the Bridges Application and Assessment on our website: calverthospcie.org. Our Bereavement Coordinator, Melinda Ruppert, will review
the application and meet with you to determine whether
the program is a good fit for you. Applications for the
next session must be in by Feb. 15. We do ask that you
commit to coming to the group each week. Weekly attendance strengthens the bond between participants
and provides you with the help you need.
If you would like more information about Bridges or
our other Bereavement Programs, call Melinda Ruppert
at 410-535-0892 ext. 2201, email mruppert@calverthospice.org, or visit the Childrens Programs page under
the Grief Services tab of our website.

Development
Review and
Long Range
Planning

While the Calvert County Community


Planning and Building organization may
receive criticism, such is not isolated to
Calvert County. A large reason such occurs is because Reviewing Development
Proposals, Ideas from the community, and Long Range
Planning requires the organization to implement Maryland State Land Use Laws.
Among the decisions this organization needs to perform
is to determine Buildable from Non-Buildable Lots, due
largely to safety and environmental reasons. They also
need to ensure the accuracy of street/road addresses to
support the 911 Control Center to ensure Police, Fire, Rescue and EMS are able to respond to the proper location.
The skills needed for this organization include advanced
professional planning experience required. Credentials are
also needed for this organization as individuals need to be
American Institute of Certified Planners (AICP) as they
perform their roles along with supervising and managing various projects and teams. Staff also has the ability
to review concepts and plans, interpret, enforce, rewrite
and suggest change for county regulations. They also
need to understand and implement countys development
objectives.
This organization also supports other organization such
as the Calvert County Planning Commission (whose members are appointed by the Board of County Commissioners) and Architectural Review Committees (ARC). The
ARCs are in the process of phasing out, although not all
of them may terminate. This process will take years to
implement.
To support applicants in their processing of applications through various review committees and the Planning
Commission, advanced professional planning experience
and AICP certifications are also required. AICP staff also
are required for residential/housing development reviews,
to review Subdivisions (Lot Configuration, Adequate
Roads, Utilities, Drainage, and Recreation) as well as well
versed in and able to review commercial site plans.
Long Range Planning, consistent with Maryland State
Land Use laws includes developing Sign Regulations
and other County plans and ordinances; periodic rewrite
of Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance Rewrite
Town Center Master Plans and Zoning Ordinances. A major project underway within Calvert County is the development of the Armory Square project to bring a permanent
Community Center, mixed residential, green/walkable
space and upscale commercial/retail.
Long Range Planners assist with developing the county
Water and Sewer Plan. They also need to adhere to Federal/State Regulations/State Land Use Laws to plan for
Transportation needs and improvements.
Finally, they implement State Land Use Laws such as
the Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance (APFO) which
exists to ensure sufficient services such as roads and
schools can accommodate increased residential housing.
Staff also prepares Adequate Public Facilities reports and
other reports to support all this activity.

#1 in USA, 13th in the World


By Crista Dockray
Staff Writer
Donald Balcom wakes up everyday at 1:30 a.m. to
run. He runs almost everyday, sometimes up to 24
miles in under three hours.
Balcom is visually impaired. He has five degrees
of vision in each eye and has been diagnosed with
Retinitis Pigmentosa, which causes the constriction
of peripheral vision.
Despite his disability, Balcom has been ranked the
number one visually impaired runner of his T12 classification (given by International Paralympic Committee) in the USA and 13th in his classification in
the world.
He has only been running since 2012, just a short
3.5 years.
Balcom grew up in upstate New York in the Finger Lakes region. He was the middle of five brothers,
attended a small school, and was a lover of sports.
He even traveled to England and Wales for a soccer
tournament.
Although he was a loved sports, he said he never
liked running and never understood why people did
it.
After graduating high school with a class of around
60 people, he attended Clarkson University for Mechanical Engineering, still active on teams.
During his sophomore year, with persuasion of a
flyer in the mail, he decided to join the Navy. He applied to be a part of their exceptional student program
to become a nuclear propulsion officer, and was accepted even though the program was only for juniors
and seniors.
He enlisted, was put on active duty, and finished
college with just below a 4.0 GPA. After graduating,
he reported to officer candidate school, but just three
days later received bad news.
After some testing, he was told he had 10 to 12 degrees of vision and was given his diagnosis.
For the next 10 years or so, Retinitis Pigmentosa did not slow him down. He still drove, coached

Photos Courtesy of Donald Balcom

and refereed soccer, played sports, and worked. He


also received his masters degree in Engineering
Management.
In 2005, however, New York State revoked his license and his life became more challenging.
During this time he stopped playing sports and
moved around to a few jobs.
In 2009, he moved to Southern Maryland and
started working in target engineering for NAVAIR.
His job allows him to develops targets and target systems for test and evaluation at his office located in the
Solomons Island Navy Recreation Area.
Because he was working, a self-proclaimed lover
of food, and not as active in sports, he gained a bit of
weight and at his heaviest weighed 215 pounds.
One day, two years after his move, Balcom was
watching TV and overheard something about the
Ironman Triathlon.
He knew he wanted to make a lifestyle change and
that day made the choice to train for his first triathlon.
He began his training on the treadmill and searching for triathlons in the area. While searching, he
stumbled upon the Paralympic Sport Club of Southern Maryland, which had just formed and was the
second Paralympic Sport Club in Maryland.
When he gave them a call, they offered him a place
on their board where he still stands to this day.
Not long, after in 2012, Balcom made contact with
Disabled Sports USA who asked if he would like to
run a race. They had a team of veterans that were going to run the Hood to Coast Relay Race in Oregon
and he would be one of the 12 team members.
Although he had never run a race before, he agreed.
Hood to Coast Relay is a 200-mile race with 36
legs, each team member taking three legs. According
to Balcom, he had no idea that this was one of the
largest relay races in the world and that he would be
competing with about 13,000 other people.
Nerves kicked in. He, who had trained himself and
never ran a race before, did not want to let anybody
down.
And he did not. On his three legs he finished 52nd,

Thursday, January 21, 2016


46th, and 32nd out of around 1,100 people. In his age
group he finished 3rd, 5th, and 5th.
He was 38 and had only been running for five weeks.
He found that he had a skill for running and he enjoyed it, so when he returned home he began to run local races, consistently finishing in the top five to top ten.
Just in Calvert, he ran the 2012 CAASA 5K, the 2012
Jingle Bell 5K, the 2013 SMCN Resolution Run 5K, the
2013 Race to the Creek 5K, and the 2014 SMCN Resolution Run 5K.
In March of 2013, he ran his first marathon, the Lower
Potomac River Marathon, which he trained for himself,
ran unguided, and qualified for the Boston Marathon.
A week later he ran the Bataan Memorial Death March
in New Mexico, where he finished ninth out of 5,800
people.
This race Balcom ran with a guide and has done so
ever since. In the beginning Balcom ran unguided. He
would ask for maps and follow behind other runners to
keep track of where he was going.
It was stressful he said, so he hired a guide. Balcom
allows his guide to be his eyes by keeping a hand their
shoulder and focusing just on the run itself. Sometimes
one person acts as his guide, sometimes it is many.
Its getting increasingly difficult, said Balcom
about finding runners that are close to his level.
Especially since in 2013, he ran the Marine Corps
Marathon, finishing 196th and accomplishing his first
sub three-hour marathon.
He went on to do better. In 2015, he completed his
first Boston Marathon after an injury left him unable
to do so the year before. He placed 1670th overall running a 2:55:45, and until he returned home, unknowingly won the 2015 Boston Marathon Blind/VisuallyImpaired Division.
That was probably my favorite race, Balcom said.
Shortly after in October, he competed in the Chicago Marathon running his personal best of 2:50:38
and eight weeks later went to compete in the California
International Marathon, also the USBA Blind Athletes
National Championships. Unfortunately, at mile five, he
tangled feet with his guide and landed hard. Halfway

The Calvert County Times


through the marathon he was forced to pull out due to
an injury to his hip.
That same month he became a board member of
Southern Maryland Community Resources and this
past weekend he finished the Disney Half Marathon.
Whats next is something amazing. Balcom has been
selected by the International Paralympic Committee
to represent TEAM USA at the London Marathon in
April. He hopes in London to do a 2:43 or 2:45 and qualify for the Paralympics in Rio.
I am just waiting to put on that USA uniform and
run that race, said Balcom.
At this time Balcom is trying to find guides. He needs
a runner that can do 2:40 or below, a U.S. Citizen and of
someone of equal gender because of roles. London will
be paying for the accommodations, but airfare and extra
costs will be his, so Balcom is hoping to raise money
through the community to help him accomplish his goal
and pay the way for his guides.
If you would like to donate, visit www.usaba.myetap.
org/fundraiser/athletedevelopmentaccounts/donate.
do?sponsor=849.0.428502043.
When Balcom is not running or working, hes at
home with his wife Andrea of 12 years, his son Austin, 9, and his daughter Alaina, 4. He likes to row as a
good way of cross-training, he likes woodworking, doing things around the house, but mostly he likes to relax
when he can.
In the future he hopes to set the American record for
the visually impaired by breaking 2:43, go to the Paralympic Games in Rio, go back and win the USBA Blind
Athletes National Championships, get his Ph.D., run
the New York Marathon, and do the Boston Marathon
once more.
I dont think I would change that I am visually impaired. If they had a cure, I dont think I would change
it because Im doing some pretty cool stuff. Ive done
things the past three years that I never thought I would
do and Ill probably do stuff in the next few years that I
dont think I can do right now, said Balcom.

Winter Marches On
Concert Series
Who doesnt love a free concert?
Calvert Library has three special gems
to offer this winter for a Winter Marches On concert series. Each show is on
a Wednesday at 7 p.m. at the Calvert
Library Prince Frederick. Kicking off
the series on Feb. 10, is the ever popular US Navy Band Country Current.
This bluegrass ensemble has enlivened a standing room only crowd for
the last few years so come early to get
a seat. The second show on Feb. 24,
features US Army Band Downrange.
Downrange will rock the library with
an up-to-date repertoire of rock, pop,

country, R&B and a few signature patriotic arrangements. The final show
on March 9, will bring The Electric
Brigade down from the US Naval
Academy. This high-energy band has
set the standard in popular-music entertainment for US Navy Bands. All
three shows promise to lighten your
spirit and shake you out of any winter doldrums so put them all on your
calendar! For more information, call

Bluegrass Winter Fest


In Remembrance Of
Charles Thompson
On Sunday Jan. 3, St. Marys County lost one of its true country singing
voices, Charlie Thompson of Hollywood (Sandy Bottom), Maryland. A
Bluegrass Winter Fest has been set in
his remembrance on Saturday January
30, 2016 at the Mechanicsville Moose
Lodge in Mechanicsville, Md. The
event starts at Noon.
Charlie was well known for his love
of Bluegrass music and performing
with his band, Bottom County Bluegrass and also as a DJ, entertaining at
many events and Southern Maryland
venues. He performed, and contributed his time to many charitable events
such as the Bluegrass for Hospice, Hollywood Rescue Squad Bluegrass Festival, Lil Margarets Bluegrass Festival,
and many others down through the
years. He was a member of Patuxent
Moose Lodge in Hollywood, where you
could find him djing or playing live music. He knew how to entertain and he
knew how to make you find the meaning behind a song and feel it. Charlie
never met a stranger. Whether he knew
you or not, he was always willing to

lend a hand.
Now, he will be honored with a day
of live Bluegrass music featuring local
favorites: Bubby Abell & Spoon Creek,
California Ramblers, and 15 Strings.
Also appearing will be Tom Mindte &
the Patuxent Partners from Rockville,
MD and The Martin Brothers & Aspen
Run from Westminster, MD. There
will be a special tribute to Charlie featuring members of his Bottom County
Bluegrass band along with his youngest brother, Ronnie Thompson. There
will be 50/50 raffles, a cooler of cheer,
and Charlie Thompson music CDs
available for sale. Food will be provided for purchase by Lynns Catering.
Tickets will be available at the door for
$15.00 per person or $25.00 per couple.
Children under 15 free with a paying
adult.
The Mechanicsville Moose Lodge is
located at 27636 Mechanicsville Road
in Mechanicsville, MD. For more information, please call 301-737-3004 or
202-438-4128.
