County Commissioners
Vote Down All Changes to
Countys Healthcare Plan
By Crista Dockray
Staff Writer
At the regularly scheduled meeting,
Tuesday, Tim Hayden, the Director of
Finance and Budget, and Sherrie Myers, Benefits Coordinator presented the
Board of the County Commissioners
with possible healthcare changes to the
countys current healthcare plan.
According to documents, on March
15, CareFirst, the Countys healthcare
provider, presented information about
the countys healthcare plan and made
recommendations for changes. County
Staff presented this information again on
March 22.
The changes covered three different
categories, a medical plan change, a prescription plan change, and a change to
the emergency room co-pays.
The medical plan change claimed to
save the county $110,000, replace the
PPO plan with Blue Choice Advantage,
and it said the participants of the plan
would see no change.
I really believe that anyone who understands this change would be in favor
of it, said Hayden.
However, all county commissioners
expressed dislike in the idea right off the
bat.
Commissioner Mike Hart said that he
had talked to a lot of people and there is a
lot of animosity and nervousness around
the issue as people feel they have not
received enough information about the
possible change.
Basic rule number one for change
management, there are three words that
come out; communicate, communicate,
communicate. I dont think this happened here, said Commissioner President Evan Slaughenhoupt.
I think when you change something
and you say theres really no change, its
hard for me to swallow that, said Hejl.
The motion to keep the PPO the same
passed five to zero.
The prescription plan change would
move the county to a Formulary 2 program, eliminate certain drugs, but offer alternatives, and save an estimated
$83,210.
Slaughenhoupt expressed his worry on
making such a serious decision. None of
us are physicians and were being asked
to make some decisions that are medically relatedthis is very serious, we take
this very, very seriously on behalf of the
employees. Its not just dollars I think,
said Slaughenhoupt.
Calvert County Takes Steps

to Help Residents Lower
Flood Insurance Premiums
Residents of Calvert County who live
in the 100-year floodplains are reminded
that they may qualify for a 10 percent
reduction in their flood insurance premiums thanks to mitigation efforts made
by the Calvert County Department of
Community Planning and Building.
This news came after the Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) recognized Calvert County in
August of 2015 for exceeding floodplain
management measures encouraged by
the National Flood Insurance Program
(NFIP). The reduction in residents
floodplain insurance premiums applies
to new or renewed policies in effect on
and after May 1, 2015.
FEMA oversees the NFIP, which administers a program called the Community Rating System (CRS). The CRS
is a voluntary incentive program that
recognizes and encourages community
floodplain management activities that
exceed minimum NFIP requirements.
Calvert County is within an elite group
of 13 Maryland communities to receive
this recognition. With the continued
steps taken by the county to protect its
citizens and increase its resiliency, it has
entered the CRS program as a Class 8
participant.
The Class 8 rating qualifies eligible
NFIP policy holders for an average of
$138 in savings annually. In total, the
upgrade in ratings accounts for a savings of more than $37,000 annually for
Calvert County citizens.
Under the CRS, local officials are
asked to meet three goals: (1) reduce
flood losses; (2) facilitate accurate insurance rating; and (3) promote the awareness of flood insurance.
Communities can earn a CRS rating
by submitting an application explaining the projects they have in place or in
development.
For each class that a community
moves up to, it provides its residents
with an additional 5 percent reduction
in their flood insurance premiums up to
the 45 percent reduction that a Class 1
community receives. As a Class 8 community, Calvert County enables its residents to receive a 10 percent reduction
on eligible flood insurance premiums.
For information about flood insurance,
property owners should contact their insurance agent, visit floodsmart.gov or
call the NFIPs toll-free information line
at 800-427-4661. To learn if you live in a
designated floodplain, visit www.co.cal.
md.us/floodmap. Learn more about the
CRS by visiting www.co.cal.md.us/CRS
or floodsmart.gov/floodsmart/pages/crs/

The motion to keep the prescription

plan the same passed five to zero.
The emergency room co-pay changes
would increase emergency room co-pays
to $100 (currently $0 PPO, $25 HMO),
with emergency room co-pays added it
would urge participants to use Urgent
Care facilities which are materially less
expensive and often more convenient,
and it would waive the co-pay if the participant is admitted to the hospital.
Hart said he believed that adding a
co-pay for $25 for the PPO would urge
citizens to use Urgent Care instead of
the emergency room, which is currently
costing the county roughly $500,000 per
year.
The other commissioners said that
adding a co-pay would have a lot more
side effects than they are aware of and
disliked the idea to change.
The motion to keep the emergency
room co-pays the same passed four to
one, with Hart against.
According to the board, next year after more information is circulated to the
commissioners and the government employees, changes may be recommended
once again and voted on.

The College of Southern Maryland (CSM)

and Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State
University (Virginia Tech) signed an articulation agreement March 30 to provide a
seamless transition from Associate of Arts in
General Studies or Associate of Arts in Arts
and Sciences to bachelor degree programs in
Building Construction or Real Estate.
We are privileged to be the first out-ofstate institution that has an [undergraduate]
agreement with Virginia Tech. Why this is so
important is that as a transfer institution, over
half of our studentsclose to 60 percentexpect to transfer. It is our responsibility to have
a pathway for them [to complete their bachelors degree], said CSM President Dr. Brad
Gottfried.
The agreement stemmed from Chaney Enterprises CEO Frank Chaneys desire to create a pipeline for Southern Maryland students
to pursue careers in the building industry.
Chaneys own experience as a student at Virginia Tech led him to contact and ultimately
bring together administrators from his alma
mater and CSM in 2013 to discuss the possibilities of a transfer agreement.
[The College of Southern Maryland]
speaks to the words Transforming Lives.
We all agree at Virginia Tech that we need
to form that pathway to higher education to
transform lives, said Virginia Tech Vice Provost for Enrollment and Degree Management
Wanda Hankins Dean, who, along with Myers-Lawson School of Construction Associate
Director Dr. Andrew McCoy and Building
Construction Department Head Yvan J. Beliveau traveled to Southern Maryland for the
ceremony.
Over the past two years, CSM has been
collaborating with colleges and universities
to make bachelors degrees affordable and accessible for residents of Southern Maryland,
and as a result has more than 50 guaranteed
articulation agreements in place for students
to start locally and transfer seamlessly to the
college of their choice. Last year, more than
1,700 CSM students transferred to 226 different four-year colleges and universities located
in 45 states and the District of Columbia, with
Virginia Tech among the top-20 colleges and
universities who receive CSM students.
This agreement with Virginia Tech provides
opportunities that are appropriate for students
who have completed an associate degree,
earning a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or better, and
plan to pursue a major in construction management or real estate. The real estate degree
integrates all components of the real estate
industry from conceptualization of a project,
through financing to asset management of developed projects. Kevin Boyle, director of the
Program in Real Estate, said, We are pleased
to provide a path for CSM graduates to enter
successful careers in the real estate industry.
We are always looking forward at Virginia Tech. The Department of Building
Construction is one such innovative departmentjust look at their motto, Change the
World, Build the Future. That means always
striving to find the new technologies needed,
new skill sets, new best practices to make certain we are preparing students to emerge into
the world as engaged citizens not only in their
local communities but nationally and globally.
Thats what we look for when we are looking for students who desire to attend Virginia
Tech, Dean said.
Students in the Virginia Tech Building and
Construction Program work on community
service projects throughout the country and
the world, including rebuilding refugee camps
or towns devastated by natural disasters, said

Dean.
Referencing U.S. employment projections, Virginia Tech reports students with a
bachelors degree in construction science,
construction management or construction/
civil engineering, coupled with construction
experience, will have excellent job prospects.
Virginia Techs Department of Building Construction has reported 100 percent job placement by its graduates for the last five years
in various traditional positions such as field
engineers, project managers, estimators and
field superintendents as well as jobs in development, IT and others. The median starting
salary for these graduates is $60,000.
What a great opportunity this is for all of
us. A lot of times, construction is just considered a two-year degree and then there is going to be a job at the end of that pathway. With
this agreement, there is a great opportunity for
students to be able to finish a bachelors degree
and pretty much have a job guarantee on the
back side of it, said CSM Vice President of
Academic Affairs Dr. Eileen Abel.
Congratulations, to you in the audience
for what you have accomplished, said Maryland Higher Education Commission Secretary
James C. Fielder Jr. Thanks, also to Frank
for the long-term commitment he made to get
this started. You saw the barren field and said,
Okay, what can we put there? You had this
vision, and now were getting ready to pour
the foundation.
Fielder said that higher education in Maryland should focus on what students really want
and what industry really needs. When you
put those together, that is what we need to be
doing on a regular basis.
Reading from an email that Chaney sent to
Virginia Techs provost explaining his idea,
Chaney said, Since the 1980s Ive had a
dream to create an articulating career path for
the overall construction, building and mining
industries. With my dream, at least the industries would have an easy map to show how
diverse, exciting and flexible these industries
are. A high school student should be able to
intern in these industries, jump from one blue
collar segment such as carpentry to one white
collar segment such as engineering with ease.
All in all, they should have the ability to find a
job they love in order to achieve the American
dream.
A 1979 graduate of Virginia Tech, Mr.
Frank Chaney is a good friend of the College
of Southern Maryland, Gottfried said. As
chairman of the board at Chaney Enterprises,
Frank has been a strong advocate of the college and a believer in supporting educational
opportunities for the community through
scholarships, equipment donations for training
purposes and the essential funds to further develop our programs. We are especially grateful for his focus on partnering with his alma
mater, offering our students an opportunity
to partner with a standout division I research
institution.

Re-Stepping Of The Dee

Of St. Marys Mast
The Dee of St. Marys mast was re-stepped

(re-installed) thanks to the collective teamwork of many people and local businesses.
Because a large crane was necessary to lift
the 76-foot-mast, the Calvert Marine Museum
reached out to SMECO for help. SMECO
enlisted the assistance of Southern Maryland
Crane Rental, Inc. and their contribution made
this re-stepping possible. Hours of tender loving care from the Patuxent Small Craft Guild,
Dee captains, and crew members over the
winter have this historic skipjack another step
closer to raising sail for the 2016 season.
While safety compliant Coast Guard inspections are conducted yearly, pulling the
Dees mast out for a physical inspection is only
done every 10 years. Work began back in November when SMECO and Southern Maryland Crane Rental assisted with removing the
Dees mast. The Patuxent Small Craft Guild
members, Dee of St. Marys captains and crew
members worked diligently over the winter to
clean and refinish the wood, and replace most
of the rigging and the hardware. Their work
also included repair and refinishing of the
boom.
The Dee of St. Marys was commissioned
and built in 1979 in Piney Point, Maryland.
Originally used as a commercial oyster fishing
boat for 10 years, she is now a floating classroom educating children about the history of
the Chesapeake Bay. Public sails aboard the
Dee begin in May and will go throughout the
summer; public charters are available.

House Bill 1013

House Bill 1013, euphemistically called Maryland Open Transportation Investment Decision Act of 2016 is actually a continuation of the War on Rural Maryland.
Recently, Feb. 22, I wrote an article about this legislation Not
Transparency, Solely Politics and explained that, it clearly smacks
of political favoritism towards more highly density populations
(which tend to vote Democrat) while ignoring valid needs of the
more rural areas (which tend to vote Republican.)
Both the Rural Counties Coalition (which is an affiliate of Maryland Association of Counties (MACo) and MACo opposed this bill.
It would appear the bill was NOT based upon the purported way
Virginia operates; and was only crafted to counter a highly popular
(70% approval rating) Republican Governor.
Acting like children who have much power, not only did the Democrats ram though this legislation, they also prevented restoration
of Highway User fees. Why is restoration important? Well, those
who live in the rural (lower density) areas tend to drive more miles,
meaning they pay a disproportionate amount of gasoline taxes. A
portion of those taxes are supposed to be provided to the counties to
assist with local road repairs.
Several years ago, as part of the Democrat War on Rural Maryland, Governor OMalley cut those fees going to the counties and
squandered the money elsewhere. For Calvert County, we suffered a
huge loss of revenue for our roads (from approximately $6 million/
year to $500 thousand/year.) Our roads have suffered in spite of tremendous and creative ways our Public Works responded.
As a result, for the first time ever, Calvert County will be taking
out a loan to pave roads. This is a sad state of affairs as typically;
road repair is expected to be done using collected revenue on an ongoing basis. Elsewhere and it is becoming more apparent, pot holes
and unsafe road conditions exist and will continue as such throughout Maryland.
While Governor Larry Hogan is righting many wrongs; and being a popular Governor, he is countered by a Democrat party who
simply cannot have a popular Republican Govern be successful. So,
while the War on Rural Maryland no longer exists in the Executive
branch, it is very strong as led by the Democrat Party who is in power and uses any nasty and deceptive technique they can contrive.
You can thank the Democrat leaders and their minion followers
in the Maryland Senate and House for the sad state of affairs in our
state.

Calvert Countys First

Daycare Center Expands
By Crista Dockray
Staff Writer
Huntingtown Early Learning Center,
once known as Kiddy Coral, is Calvert
Countys oldest continuing operating
childcare center. It will be running for 39
years this July.
Two women opened up the center in
July 1979, but in June 1995, asked the
current owners Robert and Maria Loveless to take over the business.
At that time, Maria was running two
other daycare centers, one out of her
house called Kiddy Care and the other
in Owings called Little Flock Learning
Center.
Maria said that the parents at her two
centers kept asking if she was going to do
summer camps, before and after school
care, and preschool and kindergarten.
However, in her two locations she did not
have space to do all she wanted.
Our numbers kept growing and growing and growing, so we were trying to
facilitate the needs of the public at that
time, said Maria about she and Roberts
decision to take over their third business.
Robert explained that the shortage in
daycares was due to the fact that in prior
generations mothers usually stayed home
with their children, and if they did work,
a next-door neighbor or a nanny would
watch the child.
It was not very popular to leave your
children in a daycare center, said Maria.
Robert explained that over time, more
mothers have started to work and thats
where the need for childcare centers became a reality.
Maria said the location of the Huntingtown Learning Center was great for expanding her summer camps and to take
on more children for daycare because it
had a wonderful area with a playground
and it had lots of trees, which gave children the ability to be outdoors for a long
time without being in the sun. They nicknamed this area the Enchanted Forest.
After they took over, they kept up their
summer camps and daycare and slowly
phased out their other two locations.
In 2013, they hit a mile marker and became a licensed pre-school.
You have to go with the times and we
knew that we needed to add a curriculum
and be certified so the children will benefit and be ready for elementary school,
said Maria.
A year later, they started their renovation and expansion project.
We always dreamed about having a
facility where people could actually come
in and use it for more, said Maria. On
the weekends and after they closed, the
place remained unused and they wanted
to change that.
So two years ago they lifted the building up in order to expand the basement,
which was basically just a tall crawlspace. After the building was raised, over
the course of two years, they replaced all
the windows, the siding, the heating and
air conditioning, and the kitchen.
They have started the renovations in
the basement, which will be finished in
six months, and upon completion, will be
used for a multi purpose room.
Its been a long time

coming and weve worked
really hard. Its become
what its meant to be.

Owners, Robert and Maria Loveless.
Construction of the building being lifted up to

expand the basement in 2014.
In the fall, they will be opening their

doors to the community. Some of the
people that will be using the new space
will be the Boy Scouts, the Girl Scouts,
and home schooled children. They will
also open up the space for afterschool
clubs, tutoring, Spanish classes and jiu
jitsu classes. They will also have Spanish classes and tutoring for adults per
request.
Maria said that these clubs and programs dont really have a place to meet,
they are mostly meeting in homes. She
said that this expansion is meant to give
the community a place to go.
Huntingtown Early Learning Center accepts children ages 2 through 12
and have an average of six children per
teacher.
They use the Houghton Mifflin curriculum, but have been asked by the Office
of Childcare under the Maryland State
Department of Education to update it.
Next summer, they will be holding fundraisers to raise money to buy their new
curriculum, the InvestiGator Club which,
according to their website, is an inquiry
based learning system.
Currently employed are three certified
preschool teachers, one of them being
Robert, the owner and administrator of
the center.
According to Robert, they do expand
their numbers in the summer.
Along with their pre-school they offer
an afterschool program.
They have three different elementary
schools they have service to, Huntingtown, Plum Point, and Sunderland.
They offer before and after school care
from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. in order to tailor
to the growing community, which holds
many parents that commute to and from
Washington, D.C. everyday for work.
During the summer they offer extensive summer programs for both preschool and school age children.

in order to expose the children to more

opportunities. In the morning, the center will have themes in like pirate week,
science, engineering and space week,
and going around the world in five days

will take field trips to go horseback riding, swimming, to do rope courses, learn
about nutrition, go to fitness centers and
more. Some of the organizations they
have partnered with are Melwood Recreation Center, Poston Fitness, and the Sailing Academy.
This Friday, they are having an open
house in order to show the community
their improvements and what they have

to offer.
Its been a long time coming and
weve worked really hard, said Maria.
Its become what its meant to be.
The open house will be held from

HOW DOES
A TANKLESS SPACE SAVING CALCULATION
WORK?
The obvious difference
between a tank and a
tankless is its size.
Not only will you gain
significant space, but
youll also get endless
hot water with a tankless.
Noritz tankless water
heaters last longer than
traditional tank water
heaters and are backed up
with a 12-year warranty.
STEP 5
The Noritz tankless water heater

provides an endless stream of
hot water. When the tap is
turned off, the unit shuts off.
With a tankless, you wont

be using hot water that is
stored in a tank that can
accumulate scale and rust
over time. Noritz units
allow you to set the
temperature you want.
A traditional tank-type water heater takes up to 13 ft2 of

space. If 1 ft2 is worth $200, thats $2,600 (13 ft2 x $200)
worth of space you could be saving at Noritz.
