Sheriff to Buy Equipment

to Retrieve Cell Phone Data
By Dick Myers
Staff Writer
The Calvert County Sheriffs Ofce
has received approval for extra funding
to ght the countys heroin epidemic. The
Calvert County Board of County Com-
missioners May 9 approved the transfer of
more than $55,000 from other sheriffs of-
ce accounts to buy work stations, moni-
tors and storage devices.
The target of the extra monies is the
drug dealers and users cellular devices.
According to a memo from Assistant
Sheriff Major Dave McDowell, Cellular
devices are the key piece of evidence in al-
most every heroin investigation and over-
dose; as such, the forensic examination of
cellular devices is crucial to the successful
prosecution of those arrested for the use
and sale of heroin.
The memo says the sheriffs ofce does
everything in its power to ght the hero-
in problem, but it adds, We fall short in
keeping up with the technology used to

What Can the Twin Beaches
Do for Growth Control?
Dick Myers
Staff Writer
Town centers are seen as the key to
Calvert Countys desire to retain its ru-
ral character and control growth. As the
county goes through the process of updat-
ing its master plan and zoning ordinance,
there has been a focus on the town cen-
ters at public workshops. What role do
the incorporated towns of Chesapeake
Beach and North Beach (known collec-
tively as the Twin Beaches) play in that
growthcontrol?
Growth pressure in Calvert County
is coming from the north and the south
-- north for commuters to DC and south
for commuters to the Patuxent River Na-
val Air Station. Of the town centers in
southern Calvert, St. Leonard Lusby and
Solomons, the latter two have central wa-
ter and sewer. The only town center under
the countys control in northern Calvert,
Dunkirk, does not.
According to the Director of Commu-
nity Planning and Building (to become
the Department of Planning and Zoning
on July 1) Mark Willis, there are no plans
for central water and sewer in the Dunkirk
Town Center. While some commercial
development continues there, denser resi-
dential development, such as apartments
and town houses, is unlikely, leaving
Dunkirk with virtually no role in channel-
ing residential development and preserv-
ing the countys rural character.
North Beach and Chesapeake Beach
are both incorporated towns with their
own mayors and town councils and their
own planning and zoning departments
that administer their towns zoning ordi-
nance. The two towns are also designated
as town centers on the countys zoning
maps, even though the county has no con-
trol overthem.
Can the two towns absorb some of the
pressure for denser residential develop-
ment? Based on interviews with the may-
ors of the two towns, the answer appears
to be that its unlikely. The main reason is
that both towns are virtually filled up.
North Beach Mayor Mark Frazer noted
that the outline of the town is the same as
The Calvert County Times
High density development in Chesapeake Beach
it was 100 years ago, with the exception
of the San Francisco development, which
was annexed into the town 20 years ago.
We are built out, he advised.
Frazer said the only undeveloped tracts
of land are on Bay Avenue on either side
of 5th Street. He said they are both com-
mercially-zoned and the hope is to attract
some high-quality development such as a
hotel or conference center.
As for residential development, Frazer
said some infill or replacement is all that
is possible. What about annexation for
residential? Frazer points out the town is
hemmed in on all four sides Chesapeake
Beach, Calvert County, Anne Arundel
County and the Bay. He said the Calvert
County portion is also built out.
Chesapeake Beach is working on its
own growth controls, with its first Ad-
equate Public Facilities Ordinance, ac-
cording to Mayor Pat Mahoney. He said
his town is also pretty much built out. The
only places available for development are
some vacant lots in Richfield Station and
some potential waterfront redevelopment.
The town has several waterfront condo-
minium projects.
What about annexation. There is some
land available to the west and south of
town. Mahoney said that he and the coun-
cil have no interest in annexation because
the towns residents have spoken loud and
clear The citizens want Chesapeake
Beach to retain its small-town charm. He
said they dont want the town to look like
Bowie.
So, those county residents with dreams
of creating a new urbanism setting with
shops and residences on the second floor,
or neighborhoods with sidewalks connect-
ing to the commercial areas of the town
centers probably are going to have to loo
somewhere else other than the north to see
their vision become a reality.

Flesh-Eating Bacteria Expert
to Speak at Museum
Dr. Rita R. Colwell, a recognized expert
on Vibrio vulnificus, a flesh eating bac-
teria found in the Chesapeake Bay, will
speak at the Calvert Marine Museum on
Friday, May 19 at 6:30 p.m. in the Harms
Gallery. Dr. Colwell, a global infectious
disease specialist, is the recipient of the
Order of the Rising Sun, Gold and Silver
Star; the 2006 National Medal of Science;
and the Stockholm Water Prize in 2010 for
her contributions toward solving water-
related public health problems.
Vibrio vulnificus causes infection that
can occur after eating raw or undercooked
seafood; the bacteria can also enter the
body through open wounds when swim-
ming or wading in infected waters. People
with compromised immune systems are
eighty times more susceptible to Vibrio
vulnificus. Symptoms can include vomit-
ing, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and a blis-
tering dermatitis. Immediate treatment
from third generation antibiotics is nec-
essary for survival from a suspected case
of Vibrio vulnificus. Having accurate
information and the ability to recognize
symptoms is critical for those working
around the water.
Roy Fedders, a member of the Health
Coalition for St. Marys County, became
concerned about this problem several
years ago when it affected two of his
neighbors. He most recently coordinated
the contact with Dr. Colwell. People
need to be aware of this often misdiag-
nosed bacterium that, if not treated within
48 hours, can be fatal. It is believed that
there are quite a few cases nationally and
locally that have gone unreported due to
misdiagnosis.
New, Expanded and Relocated

vert County is home to unique mom-and-
pop specialty stores, some of the nations

Governor Signs
Environmental
Agenda Into Law
Governor Larry Hogan, along with Sen-
ate President Thomas V. Mike Miller
and Speaker of the House Mike Busch,
today signed 207 bills into law, including
the Clean Cars Act of 2017 (SB 393/HB
406), the Clean Water Commerce Act
of 2017 (SB 314/HB 417), and Economic
Development Maryland Energy Inno-
vation Institute (SB 313/HB 410). These
bills comprised the governors 2017 envi-
ronmental agenda, designed to improve
water and air quality, promote the use of
electric vehicles, and attract and develop
private clean energy innovations in Mary-
land. These legislative initiatives build
on the Hogan administrations strong
commitment to protecting and improv-
ing Marylands environment, which has
included over $3 billion for in funding for
Chesapeake Bay restoration efforts since
taking ofce.
I want to thank President Miller, Speak-
er Busch, and legislators from both parties
for passing our environmental package,
which I am proud to sign today, along with
along with several other bills to protect our
soil, our air, and our water, said Governor
Hogan. All of these initiatives represent
bipartisan efforts to protect our environ-
ment and grow clean energy investment
and jobs, and will help Maryland continue
to lead the charge when it comes to pro-
tecting our environment.
The governor and presiding ofcers ar-
rived at the signing, which took place at
Susan Campbell Park in Annapolis, in an
electric vehicle. The Pride of Baltimore II,
a replica 1812-era schooner that promotes
Marylands maritime history in ports
throughout the world, served as the back-
drop for the ceremony.
The Clean Cars Act of 2017 will in-
crease investment in the Electric Vehicle
Tax Credit program by over 30 percent, and
will double the Charging Station Tax Re-
bate. The legislation modies the EV Tax
Credit program by allowing $100 per kWH
of battery life per vehicle, while retaining
the $3,000 maximum tax credit. The leg-
islation also stipulates that vehicles with a
sales price over $60,000 do not qualify for
the tax credit. Finally, the legislation also
modies the EV Charging Station rebate,
altering the residential rebate to 40 percent
of the cost, with a $700 maximum rebate,
and the commercial rebate to 40 percent of
the cost with a $4,000 maximum rebate.
Maryland is establishing the blue-
print as states work to change how they
move their residents, making smarter,
cleaner electric transportation a real-
ity across the country, said Genevieve
Cullen, president of the Electric Drive
Transportation Association.
Governor Hogan demonstrated his en-
vironmental leadership today by extend-
ing and increasing Marylands EV excise
tax credit program and increasing charg-

Neighbors Helping Neighbors

By Dave Spigler
Feature Writer
There is an old adage that states Neces-
sity is the Mother of Invention! It is in this
light the non-profit organization Partners
in Care was formed when Barbara Hus-
ton, her sister and their friend took notice
of their parents aging and the unforeseen
challenges it created for them. They began
to realize that as people grow older they can
no longer do things for themselves. They
observed up close the special requirements
and needs senior citizens develop that are
not easily resolved. Seeing their needs first
hand tugged at their hearts and got them
thinking what can they do themselves to
help not only their parents, but others en-
tering into the golden years of their lives.
Barbara had recently learned of a unique
idea called a time exchange where peo-
ple exchange time helping one another with
their own special abilities and skill sets
without the need for payment. This novel
concept was not really so new as in Colo-
nial tines it was the basis of how early vil-
lages formed and people came together to
mutually assist one another. It is a practice
seldom seen in our current world where all
actions have a dollar value attached.
We are a society where the need for a
monetary payment has become the fo-
cal point for most every accomplishment.
There was a time when a family needed a
new barn they went looking for their neigh-
bors to show up for a barn raising. Now
when we need a barn, we go looking online
to find a building company.
With her wheels spinning, Barbara con-
tacted the Maryland Department of Aging
to learn the biggest needs for our aging
population, especially the large generation
of Baby Boomers recently retired and go-
ing on Medicare for the first time. Luck-
ily, the department had just completed a
survey and determined transportation was
the greatest concern for older citizens who
were accustomed to going wherever they
wanted whenever they wanted or as we
called it when we got our first drivers li-
cense -- freedom!

well. They are the recognized leaders in the
State of Maryland for programs and servic-

The mission of the organization is to help
all seniors 50 years and older to age safely

that they will remain in the community
they know and love. They understand that
by allowing these citizens to stay engaged
and have a real purpose, it will help these
folks stay healthy in body, mind and spirit.
At the core of their operation is their
time-exchange policy that promotes the en-

Calvert Health Systems
Honors Physicians
Calvert Health System recently held
its annual physician recognition and
awards dinner to honor medical staff for
their outstanding leadership and service
to our community.
Calvert Memorial Hospital (CMH)
President and CEO Dean Teague said,
We are fortunate to have such an ex-
ceptional team of physicians who are so
committed to our organization. Great
things are happening at Calvert Health
System and those changes have been
made possible by your leadership and
commitment to excellence. We are an
organization that is willing to grow and
morph along with the changing needs of
the population we serve a population
that will know that no matter where they
are in Calvert County, they are only 15
minutes away from exceptional care. On
behalf of the board, the executive team
and as a member of this community, I
thank you.
In addition to welcoming 18 new phy-
sicians to the team and celebrating more
than 2500 years of service as a collec-
tive medical staff, Dr. Wilfred Bud
Ehrmantraut, CMH chief of medical
staff, recognized the following physi-
cians for their dedicated years of ser-
vice: Dr. Joseph Barth (20 years), Dr.
Barbara Estes (20 years), Dr. David
Gallatin (20 years), Dr. Bryan Herron
(20 years), Dr. Sara Lukban (20 years),

service to the hospital and community.
Dr. Miller is looking forward to having
more time to devote to local, charitable
organizations.
The Community Service Awards,
reserved for physicians who have dem-
onstrated outstanding commitment,
leadership and dedicated service, were
presented to Hollie Hurner, P.A., and
Dr. Thomas Annulis by Dr. J. Michael
Brooks, vice president of medical af-
fairs at CMH.
After 10 years of service in the Unit-
ed States Army, Hurner completed her
graduate studies and joined the CMH
staff in 2009. She currently serves as
director of the hospitalist program and
director of informatics for acute care for
CMH.
Dr. Thomas Annulis has been with
CMH since 2010. Along with the inte-
grative care department, Dr. Annulis
has been an integral part of bringing the
Calvert CARES Discharge Clinic from
an idea on paper to reality. The clinic
directly benefits those patients who
wish to be engaged in their healthcare,
but who struggle with multiple issues,
including access to care. This innova-
tive clinic sees our hospitalized pa-
tients within three days after discharge,
spends at least four hours with the team
- and the cost is free.
In addition to the Community Ser-

also recognizes physicians from tertiary
partnerships that help improve local
access to academic level services. The

National Train Day
By Dick Myers
Staff Writer
It must have been quite a place! It had
beachfront hotels (including the massive
Belvedere), race track, casino, bathhouses
and beaches. A 1600-foot boardwalk was
lined with bandshell, a carousel, dance
pavilion, roller coaster and entertainment
booths. A mile-long pier provided docking
for steamboats from Baltimore.
This was the town of Chesapeake
Beach, circa 1900. And at the railroad ter-
minus was a train station carrying revelers
from Washington and Baltimore along a
track known as the Honeysuckle Route.
Today those times, which only lasted
several decades, are captured in the Ches-
apeake Beach Railway Museum, housed
in that railway station converted in 1979.

Maritime Festival Celebrated
Life on the Water
By Dick Myers
Staff Writer
A dozen years ago now Calvert Ma-
rine Museum Executive Director Sherrod
Sturrock got the idea to take the former
Antique Boat Show and combine it with
other activities. The result, the Solomons
Maritime Festival, was held Saturday,
May 6.
Those antique boars, motors and en-
gines are still a big part of the festival, fill-
ing the museums parking lot.
But, the festival also featured many
family activities with Drum Point Light-
house as the backdrop. They included
show and tell with horseshoe crabs and
clams, waterfowl callings, and decoy and
model boat building.

Its Time for Strawberries
It was only a matter of time before the
farm-to-table movement took visitors be-
yond the restaurant experience and onto
the farm itself. More and more of Calvert
Countys farmers and watermen are wel-
coming the public to visit them where
they live and enjoy the freshness of their
harvests literally ... at ground level.
What better way to welcome spring
than by getting outside with your family
to visit the farmers markets, farms, winer-
ies or seafood houses that dot the beautiful
country side nestled between the Chesa-
peake Bay and the Patuxent River. Plan
your visit to Calvert County and meander
through a quaint lavender field or sip wine
in an orchard or pick strawberries from
the patch.
May is National Strawberry Month af-
ter all, and this years warmer tempera-
tures are promising a bumper crop of the
juicy delights. Did you know that straw-
berries are actually a member of the rose
family? But instead of thorns, they are the
only fruit with seeds on the outside. Dont
miss a chance to pick the first fruit to ripen
in the spring at one of Calvert County two

The Calvert County Department of
Public Works, University of Maryland
Extension Program and Calvert County
Citizens Green Team will host three rain
barrel workshops during the free Green
Expo & Craft Fair being held Saturday,
June 3 at Annmarie Sculpture Garden &

tical uses for citizens and reduce the im-
pact of runoff on local waterways and the
Chesapeake Bay.
The rain barrel workshops will be held
at 11 a.m., 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. Calvert Coun-
ty residents can purchase two rain barrels
for the discounted rate of $30 each. Ad-
ditional barrels can be purchased at the
non-county resident rate of $64 each. A
flexible downspout connector is available
for $10 and a watering can spigot can be
purchased for $8. Registration and pur-
chase forms are available online at ter.ps/
GREENEXPO.
