Thomas Johnson Bridge Takes

Backseat in State Plans
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
State ofcials told local political and
business leaders Tuesday that the Hogan
Administration has committed about $14
billion for infrastructure construction
projects around the state, but with $75
billion in needs it became plain that not
all projects, even those that are critical
to St. Marys and Calvert counties, can
be funded.
Much of the discussion at the South-
ern Maryland Higher Education Center
in California owed around two bridge
replacement projects: the Harry W. Nice
bridge that connects Charles County to
Virginia and the Thomas Johnson Bridge
that spans the Patuxent River.
The Nice bridge has the priority, while
the Johnson bridge project will continue to
languish for perhaps another decade.

The Nice bridge project would expand
the span to four lanes, two moving south
and two moving north, and is projected to
reduce the seasonal trafc jams that peak
in the summer time, state ofcials said.
But Del. Jerry Clark (R-Dist.29C)
asked what local leaders could do to re-
prioritize improvements for the Johnson
bridge project.
You talk about seasonal trafc back-
ups on the Harry Nice bridge but we expe-
rience everyday backups on the Thomas
Johnson Bridge, Clark said. We need to
come up with some way to jumpstart that.
Former Charles County commissioner
Gary Hodge asked about efforts to nd
partnerships to help fund the Nice bridge
project, to help return money to Maryland
for other projects.

School Board Reviews
Draft Strategic Plan
By Dick Myers
Staff Writer
The Calvert County Board of Education
received an update on the school systems
Long-Term Strategic Plan being developed
by consultants, Strategic Management
Group. The update from Rachel Trubow and
Kristen Keen of the firm came at the boards
July 13 meeting and prompted comments
from several board members.
The plan developed with the assistance of
a steering committee was presented at four
public hearings over two days last month.
Out of that process, the latest plan draft
evolved. The steering committee was ex-
pected to review the draft later that day. The
draft includes five strengths and seven areas
needing improvements.
The strengths identified were:
Abundance of Academic & Extra-
curricular Opportunities
Dedicated & Passionate Staff
High-Quality Education for Many
Students
Strong Community Connection
Strong Foundation for Technology
Integration
Areas needing improvement were
identified as:
Inequity of Resources & Student
Achievement
Professional Development
Recruitment & Retention of Talent
Supports for High Achieving
Students
Social-Emotional Supports
Preparation for College & Career
Community Engagement & her concerns, said, Thats okay, you are still
Partnerships
The steering committee developed five
priority areas for the plan: equity, student
outcomes, school climate and culture, work-
force, and community engagement. Each of
those was further described with priorities
and measures for monitoring progress. The
school board members latched onto several
of those for comment.
Long-tine board member Bill Phalen (both
appointed and elected) wanted to know how

pectations and positive attitudes towards all
students regardless of their background was
going to be measured.
Keen said it wold be measured by staff
and student surveys. But, Phalen wanted to
know if the measures would bore down to
the teacher level our more broadly. She said I
would be school by school.
Phalen asked, If you have schools with
ten percent (not doing the job) how do you
know who? School Superintendent Dr.
Daniel Curry said it would be up to each
principal to identify teachers with bad at-
titudes and up to administrators to identify
principals not doing a good job of identifying
those teachers. It will be the principal of of
the schools who will be empowered to work
one person at a time, Curry said.
It is that one, two, five or 10 percent that
are the roadblocks, that cause problems,
Phalen said of the teacher bad apples.
Phalen also wanted to know how equity
was defined for the plan. Keen said it would
be the role of the school systems adminis-
tration, especially the diversity director, to
further define how the school system views
diversity
Member Tracy McGuire wondered why
empowering staff wasnt included under
the workforce priority. She wanted to know
what the impediments were to teachers be-
ing empowered to do their jobs. She said the
workforce area seemed less bold than it
should be.
McGuire, not really getting an answer to
working on it.
Curry answered that the solutions will be
school-based. In each school, they are going
to have to make a plan for progress. Solu-
tions will be built on those plans, he said.
The consultants will be finishing up their
work on the strategic plan over the next sev-
eral months and bring back the final draft to
the bard. Part of the final document will be
templates that the school system can use to
ensure progress in the key identified areas.

Sheriff Defends Agency
Over Trafc Stop
By Guy Leonard

A construction worker who accused depu-
ties of the Calvert sheriffs ofce with unjust-
ly pulling him over for a trafc stop has tak-
en to the Internet to air his grievances about
aggressive police tactics while Sheriff Mike
Evans has defended his deputies actions.
Adrian A. Hall claims he was pulled over
by Calvert deputies July 10 while commut-

project in Lusby, allegedly for speeding.
Hall claims the more he asked question
of ofcers as to why he was pulled over the
more aggressive they became.
The alleged aggression started when he
was ordered to step out of his car, he said.
I stepped out of my car and walked to-
wards the other ofcer, he stated. I was told
to stand in front of the police car. I was still
on the phone with my wife as she heard what
was going on. We both spoke about how
this situation was ridiculous and how they
couldnt actively search my vehicle.
Police soon brought a drug detection dog
over to his vehicle and when ofcers tried
to take his cell phone away, Hall claims
they began to beat him as they took him to
the ground.
I felt blunt objects striking me on my left
leg and on my head, Hall wrote.
Hall alleged the ofcers who detained
him, ostensibly for resisting arrest were tell-

Three-Year Volunteer
Effort Coming to a Head
County Will Decide on Calvert Shores Vote
By Dick Myers
Staff Writer
Dozens of volunteers have
worked countless hours over
the past three years for the right
to vote. It would be a vote that
is the dream of many of the
current residents of Lusby who
are members of Calvert Shores
Coordinating Committee cre-
ation of a new town in South-
ern Calvert County that would
be the largest municipality in
Southern Maryland.
More than three dozen
people spoke at a July 11 pub-
lic hearing at Patuxent High
School with about two-thirds
supporting creation of a town
of 10,000 people. But for it to
happen, the Calvert County
Board of County Commission-
ers (BOCC), according to state
law, has to endorse a referen-
dum. They have left the record
open for two weeks, which
means their July 25 meeting is
Calvert Shores Organizing Committee Chair Cathy Zumbrun the earliest they would decide,
although there is no time limit
for a decision.
Last year the commissioners
rejected the idea, but since then
the organizing committee has
presented a petition with the
commissioner-mandated 25
percent of the assessed valu-
ation of real property of the
area, which exceeds the state
requirement of 20 percent of
the registered voters.
The organizing committee
evolved out of the 2014 board
election of the Property Own-
ers Association of Chesapeake
Shopping centers in Lusby Town Center will be included in the town
Ranch Estates (POACRE) at
limits of Calvert Shores. which 600 people attended
and showed support for the
idea of incorporation. Even
though dissatisfaction with
POACRE is one of the reasons
why some residents support
incorporation, some POACRE
board members have been ac-
tive in the movement. In fact,
POACRE Treasurer Cathy
Zumbrun is president of the
organizing committee.
POACRE receives a special
tax of $250 from each property
owner (whether their property is
This building could be the new town hall. valued at $80,000 or $800,000)
for road improvements. In ad-
dition, an assessment of $205
per year is collected from resi-
dents along with a $250 yearly
membership fee. The special
tax would be eliminated for
the new towns residents, but
POACRE would continue to
exist and own amenities such
as the lake and the beaches.
Photos By Ron Bailey
Playgrounds, the beaches and the lake will continue to be owned by POACRE.
Zumbrun points out that Cal-
vert Shores would take over
the roads and absorb the cur-
rent POACRE road staff. She
said it is the condition of the
roads that has caused many
residents to support their town
government. One major road is
currently closed because of a
washout. They feel the county
has ignored them for a long
time. The county has refused to
take over the roads because in
some places the right-of-way is
too narrow to meet county road
standards. But Zumbrun sad
that isnt necessarily the case
for all of the roads and if the
municipality fails the county
should investigate at least tak-
ing over some of them.
The collecting of petitions
was the biggest challenge for
Zumbrun and the several dozen
volunteers involved in the pro-
cess. Zumbrun said during that
time she was spending 50 to
60 hours a week on it, having
retired from a part-tine posi-
tion at the College of Southern
Maryland.
Zumbrun was originally
from Baltimore; she and her
husband started as part-time
residents of CRE in 1988 while
their children nished school.
They moved in full-time in
2003. Her involvement in the
community began slowly, rst
with activities such as the Eas-
ter egg hunt.
She said her concern about
the roads goes a little deeper.
She noted the road situation
has actually gotten better under
the current POACRE board and
management. But the revenue
stream from the special tax
isnt enough and it isnt guaran-
teed. We need to have a more
consistent revenue stream,
she said.
Zumbrun said the organiz-
ing committee members share
concerns about fairness and
about the ability of CRE to be
an attractive community. For
instance, there is currently no
mechanism for the community
to require removal of blighted
property. Under a municipality,
it could be done by the town and
the owner billed for the work.
But it wasnt just the gather-
ing of signatures on a petition
that consumed so much volun-
teer time. Some members were
active in creating a proposed
town charter, which is the
Thursday, July 20, 2017
guiding document for the new
town. Others visited most of
the towns in the region, such as
Chesapeake Beach and North
Beach, and also similarly sized
Maryland towns like Cam-
bridge and Bel Air.
Zumbrun debunked criticism
of the proposed tax rate for
the new town as being too low
for the required services. She
said comparing the proposed
Calvert Shores to Chesapeake
Beach and North Beach is un-
fair because they have ameni-
ties that the new town would not
have, such as a water park and
a new town hall. She feels the
group has done its homework
and the numbers are accurate.
One thing they learned in
visiting other towns is the need
to have a commercial core, or
town center. That is why the
several shopping centers in the
town center are included within
the incorporated area. She said
the amount of revenue gener-
ated from them would be mini-
mal and the tax burden on the
businesses small.
The town would have author-
ity over zoning within the in-
corporated limits. Even though
the county would continue to
own the Patuxent Business
Park and Chesapeake Hills
Golf Course, the town would
have control should ownership
change and also a say in what
happens there.
The new town would have a
mayor and town council. If a
referendum is approved by the
BOCC, the election for those
positions would take pace si-
multaneously with the vote
on incorporation.
In addition to the six road
staff who would move from
POACRE, the new town would
have three and a half staffers,
including a town manager.
The BOCC is taking public
comment on the proposed Cal-
vert Shores municipality fol-
lowing its July 11 public hear-
ing on the project. Background
information on the proposal,
a link to a video of the public
hearing, FAQs and more are
available on the Calvert Shores
information page: www.co.cal.

A Letter to the Editor CMM Receives Grant from West Marine

No Expansion at Waterpark
Dear Editor,
Thank you for the nice article on the
Chesapeake Beach Waterpark in the
Thursday July 13 edition. I do, however,
want to set the record straight on one is-
sue: while we are always looking to en-
hance the fun and community attendance
at the waterpark, there are absolutely no
plans to expand the park once the Fishing
Creek Bridge is completed. Our quaint
waterpark sits on a tract of land in the
center of Town where residences are close
by and within earshot of noise generated
by the park. Although we try to minimize
any disturbances to their peaceful quality
of life, I am keenly aware of, and appre-
ciate, the concessions our citizens have
made to ensure children continue to enjoy
the waterpark.
Chesapeake Beach is a small town and
we want to retain our charm.
The Waterpark exists to serve our resi-
dents and guests. There are absolutely no
plans to expand our Waterpark!
Mayor Pat Irish Mahoney
Chesapeake Beach, MD
The Calvert Marine Museum is the
proud recipient of a BlueFuture grant from
West Marine, the worlds premier Water-
life Outfitter. West Marine has awarded
$1,500 to 25 non-profit organizations
across North America that are dedicated
to getting young people on and around
the water in recreational and education
capacities.
The grants are unrestricted and West
Marine allows grant recipients to de-
termine how and when they use these
funds. No one understands the needs of
a community better than those living and
working in that community, says Deb
Radcliff, West Marine Senior Vice Presi-
dent, Marketing. We think these special
organizations are doing incredible work to
improve access to the water, teach valu-
able job and life skills, and encourage
young people from all backgrounds to cre-
ate and treasure their very own waterlife
experiences.
The museums education department
proposes to use the funds for a variety of
needs, including new ipads and cases, cast
and seine nets to be used for childrens
programs and camps, and new easels. We
are delighted to have received this gener-
ous grant from West Marine, one which
will enable the museums education de-
partment to expand its outreach and pro-
gram potential through the acquisition of
new equipment and educational tools,
said Jeff Murray, Deputy Director.
