Neighbors Oppose Home Gun Business
Appeals Board Approves Request
By Dick Myers
Editor
Gun control is a contentious nation-
al issue. The battle between Second
Amendment rights advocates and the
communitys fear of guns in their midst
was dramatically played out recently
in Calvert County. The occasion was a
Sept. 7 hearing before the Calvert Coun-
ty Board of Appeals. And the board
came down squarely in the Second
Amendments corner. One board mem-
ber called it a benign request.
State law prohibits anyone from di-
rectly receiving a mail order (or by in-
ternet) gun purchase. Instead, the order
must be received by a licensed transfer
agent, who holds the weapon for the re-
quired seven-day waiting period, pro-
cesses the purchase to ensure that the
buyer is properly licensed, and then
hands over the weapon for a fee.
Barry Wood, Jr. wants to be such an
agent and he is proposing to do business
in his home on Old Adelina Road in
Prince Frederick. Since the purchasers
would have to come to his home to pick
up their gun, he is required to secure
a Special Exception from the appeals
board for a home occupation.
A half-dozen residents on the narrow
country road in a rural section of Prince
Frederick testied against the request.
For one thing, they were concerned
about adding trafc onto their road. Old
is the operative word for their road. Al-
though it is paved there is often barely
enough width for two vehicles to pass,
and if wide delivery trucks traverse the
road, cars have to pull off into drive-
ways to let them pass, residents testied.
Board administrator Roxanna Whitt
told the three board members that the
road was indeed old, but it was a public
road. Board member Susan Hance-Wells
seemed to share concerns about the
road, but ultimately admitted that she
was not knowledgeable enough to make
an assessment of whether the road could
handle more trafc.
Wood insisted that his business would
be small. He said he would have no more
than four customers per month and each
would take no more than 15-20 minutes.
He said he would not display or sell guns
or ammunition. I have no intention of
having a room full of guns, he said.
The guns being held for transfer would
be kept in a safe.
He would operate the business as a
sideline after his day job with Calvert
County Government. He said he has
been a licensed water and sewer op-
erator for 27 years. He said after he re-
tires he would eventually like to have a
gun store.
I enjoy guns. I shoot guns. My
kids do it. Its what we do, Wood told
the board.
The Calvert County Times Local News 3
But it was the existence of guns and
a gun business in their neighborhood
that raised the concern of the Old Adelia
Road residents who spoke.
At one point, Wood contended that
there were 800 licensed rearms trans-
fer agents in Calvert County, a number
that was questioned by the residents. But
Rhonda Thomas said if that number is
true, Why do we need any more?
The board members were questioned
as to whether they had any police af-
liation or were related to Wood. Board
Chairman Daniel Baker said he was
a retired Maryland State Police of-
cer. Board member John Ward said he
served in the Army and received gun
training there and that he was also a
hunter. All said they were not related to
the applicant.
Later Thomas testied that the pro-
posal didnt t the countys comprehen-
sive plan and more properly belonged in
a commercial center. She said Woods
prediction of four customers a month
may not be realistic. You would hope
your business would grow, she said.

as said, It historically has been a drug
infested area because it is so secluded.

She said the area has been cleaned up
but its seclusion is still a temptation for
drug dealers. If they come in to pick up
guns, They may see its secluded and Family Owned & Operated Since 1929

Attorney General Reacts
to Equifax Data Breach
Maryland Attorney General Brian E.
Frosh today issued the following statement
regarding the Equifax data breach, affect-
ing approximately 143 millionAmericans.
This data breach is one of the most
alarming weve seen. The number of
Americans impacted is enormous. I am
deeply concerned that Equifax seems to
be charging victims for services to iden-
tify and protect themselves from damages
relating to the breach. It would compound
the outrage if Equifax was profiting from
its failure to maintain safely all of the data
in its charge.
My office has reached out to Equifax
and is seeking answers to understand the
circumstances that led to the breach. Equi-
fax must disclose the reasons for the ap-
parent delay between the breach and the
companys public announcement, what
protections the company had in place at
the time of the breach, and why it appears
to be attempting to profit from its own

YEARS! [BC)
REALTQR- o..ouu,,.,
On September 7, 2017, Equifax pub-
licized that the company experienced a
data breach. According to the company,
the breach lasted from mid-May through
July of 2017. The data breach exposed full
names, Social Security Numbers, birth
dates, addresses, and drivers license num-
bers. For another 209,000 consumers, it
also included credit cardinformation.
The Equifax data breach puts consum-
ers at risk for new account fraud, since
it exposes personal information neces-
sary to open new accounts at any point
in the future. This information can be
used to take out loans, open new credit
accounts and other illegal and potentially
damagingactions.

consumers to take the following steps:

After years of studying dolphins and

She had anecdotal evidence that dol-
phins were visiting Chesapeake Bay in
the summer months, but little information
about why they were there, and even less
knowledge about when and where. Earlier
this summer, she oversaw the launch of a

indicate identity theft.
- Consider placing a credit freeze on
your files. A credit freeze makes it harder
for someone to open a new account in your
name. Keep in mind that credit freezes
must be obtained from each of the credit
reporting agencies, and cost $5 from each
credit agency. A credit freeze wont pre-
vent a thief from making charges to your
existing accounts, such as debit and credit
cards. Parents or guardians of minor chil-
dren may also place a credit freeze on be-

Equifax appears to be offering consum-
ers one year of free credit monitoring.
However, Attorney General Frosh is still
analyzing the terms attached to that offer,
and cannot yet endorse consumers exer-
cising this option. Consumers who go this
route should be careful not to accidentally
sign up for Equifaxs paid service. If you
are asked to enter your full Social Security

only asks for your last name and the last
6 digits of your Social Security Number.
The Office of the Attorney General
recommends that consumers review their

Concerns Raised for TDR Program
By Dick Myers
Editor
Calvert County is considered a
pioneer in the Transfer of Develop-
ment Rights (TDR) program aimed at
preserving agricultural land and the
countys rural character. But some
commentators lately have indicated a
belief that the program may be getting
long in the tooth. The program has
slowed considerably because of the
slowdown in residential development
from the recession and its lingering
effects.
Calvert also has a unique Purchase
and Retirement (PAR) Fund in which
land owners who have signed up for
the TDR program can have the county
buy their development rights instead
of a developer. The county has $2.7
million set aside for PAR purchases
this year.
The issue came up again at the Cal-
vert County Board of County Com-
missioners (BOCC) Sept.12 meeting.
The current per acre price for a PAR is
$3,750. The countys Agriculture Pres-
ervation Advisory Board (APAB) rec-
ommended raising the purchase price
to $4,000. The reasoning: the low
number of PAR applicants last year.
According to a memo to the BOCC,
the APAB recommends increasing
the amount per TDR to appeal to more
APD (Agricultural Preservation Dis-
trict) owners.
Commissioner Steve Weems dis-
agreed and made a motion to continue
to hold the price at $3,750 but allow
County to Update Comprehensive Plan
Move Will Rectify Tier Maps Problem
By Dick Myers
Editor
The Calvert County Board of County
Commissioners (BOCC) has agreed that
the county comprehensive plan needs
an immediate update. The BOCC at its
Sept. 12 meeting agreed with the plan-
ning commission that the plan needs
fixing to accommodate the countys tier
maps.
Major subdivisions in areas of Calvert
County without central water and sewer
service are prohibited until the problem
is fixed. The BOCC thought they had
corrected the problem several months
ago. It now appears they were wrong.
Deputy County Attorney John Mat-
tingly explained the problem to the plan-
ning commission at their Aug. 16 meet-
ing. He said that the state law called the
Sustainable Growth and Agricultural
Protection Act of 2012 created a tier sys-
tem. Counties were required to divide
their land into four tiers:
- Tier I: Areas currently served by
sewer
- Tier II: Future Growth Areas
planned for sewer

landowners to seek purchase and re-
tirement of a total of ten development
rights instead of the current five. The
market is pretty flat and I don see
anything going up or down, he said.
Commissioner Pat Nutter said peo-
ple opted into the TRR program be-
cause they thought there would be a
market. Everything else has gone up
and I think TDRs have to go up, he
said.
Commissioner Vice President Evan
Slaughenhoupt, Jr. said perhaps now
was the tine for the county to consider
issuing bonds to buy out those holding
TDRs. He said once started govern-
ment programs perpetuate themselves.
Sometimes you need to close a pro-
gram out.
Commissioner President Tom Hejl
said the market for developer purchas-
es of TDRs may be drying up because
land owners wont sell because of the
price set by the PAR program.
Commissioner Mike Hart wasnt so
sure how to vote and asked for staff to
provide more information. Director of
Planning and Zoning Mark Wills said
his office would do just that, including
determining the demand for TDRs. He
observed there was a current news-
paper ad offering to buy TDRs for
$2,200 an acre.
Weems motion included a dead-
line for submitting this years PAR
requests of December 1. That motion
passed with Nutter and Hart opposing
it.
dickmyers@countytimes.net
- Tier III: Large Lot Development and
Rural Villages on septic systems
- Tier IV: Preservation and Conserva-
tion Areas. No Major subdivisions on
septics.
Mattingly explained that the law re-
quired that the tiers be established and
incorporated into the countys compre-
hensive plan by 2016. It was the final
point that was missed by the BOCC.
Mattingly offered two options to the
planning commission: wait for the com-
prehensive plan update, which could
take more than a year; or proceed with
updating the plan now to include the
tier maps, which could take about three
months.
The planners decided the problem
needs immediate attention and the
BOCC agreed. A public hearing will be
scheduled in November after a 60-day
waiting period for state comment, ac-
cording to Deputy Director of zoning
Mary Beth Cook.

Inspiring Community Dialogue Goal of Lecture Series
Dr. Christine Arnold-Lourie Dr. Sheri Dean Parmelee
The faculty at the College of Southern Maryland is
a group of highly educated experts, an intellectual re-
source. A new program starting this fall, the CSM
Faculty Excellence Lecture Series: Provocations, is de-
signed to better share that resource with the community.
As this series launches, two lectures will be presented
by CSM faculty each semester, with the first by a history
professor on Sept. 15 and the second by a communica-
tion adjunct faculty member on Oct. 13. The lectures are
free, but tickets are required and can be obtained at the
CSM Box Office at bxoffc@csmd.edu.
The College of Southern Maryland has top-quality
academic options, a focused vision and strong commu-
nity ties, but it is the talented and dedicated faculty and
staff that really make this an exceptional community
college, said CSM Vice President of Academic Affairs
Dr. Eileen Abel.The idea of the lecture series originated
The Calvert County Times
with Abel, who said it would be another way for CSM
to highlight excellence and innovation in CSMs faculty.
We want to make this a forum for people to engage
in a variety of issues, she said. The lecture topics are
meant to be in-depth. Theyre meant to encourage peo-
ple to think in a different way.
The series is a way to highlight faculty who promote
challenging, thought-provoking topics, said Professor
Richard Siciliano, who helped design the series, along
with Dr. Stephen Johnson, chair of CSMs Communica-
tion, Arts and Humanities Division.
The first lecture in the Provocations inaugural sea-
son will be presented Sept. 15 by History Professor Dr.
Christine Arnold-Lourie, who has been on the faculty as
a full-time instructor since 1991.
Arnold-Louries lecture, A Madmans Deed, A Ma-
niacs Hand: Gender and Justice in Three Maryland
Lynchings, is a discussion of three cases during the
time frame of 1886-1896 in which Arnold-Lourie will
address the causes of this kind of violence. The United
States has a long history of extra-legal violence, as dem-
onstrated by the number of times communities have re-
sorted to lynching and by our ongoing national debate
over the place of firearms in our society. Like many
Americans, I have wondered why this is so, shesaid.
The second lecture in the Provocations series on Oct.
13 will be presented by Dr. Sheri Dean Parmelee, who
has been an adjunct faculty member at CSM since 2006.
She teaches communication classes, including Intro-
duction to Interpersonal Communication and Intro-
duction to Public Speaking. She has also taught Fresh-
man Composition, Business and Technical Writing and
student success courses at the college.
Parmelees lecture, House, M.D., and Indirect Com- 934-7578 or email sjohnson2@csmd.edu.

munication: Provocation to Thought, will reference
the television program, House, which aired for eight
seasons, from 2004 to 2012. Parmelee will discuss how
indirect communication devices used in the television
show such as sarcasm, metaphor and deception shape
our world views and provoke us to thought. Parmelees
dissertation, published in 2015, is a close textural anal-
ysis of the television series, and her lecture will stem
from ideas formed from that analysis.
Both lectures in the Provocations series will be pre-
sented at the colleges La Plata Campus, with future lec-
tures being planned for the Leonardtown, Prince Fred-
erick and Regional Hughesville campuses.
The first two lectures are going to be a great kickoff
to the series, Johnson said.
The CSM Faculty Excellence Lecture Series: Provo-
cations is presented for free through funding provided
by the CSM Foundation to highlight faculty excel-
lence. Ninety percent of CSMsfull-time faculty mem-
bers hold a masters or doctorate degree in their field.
In addition to an advanced education, they come to the
classroom with a wealth of experience, Abel said. The
college employs more than 480 full-time and part-time
credit faculty.
We think it will be extremely interesting. The series
will highlight the intellectual endeavor and how it just
makes for a richer environment. Its an opportunity to
think about the world in new and different ways, Abel
said. The series is meant to be thought-provoking.
Reservations are encouraged and can be made by
contacting the CSM Box office at 301-934-7828 or by
emailing bxoffc@csmd.edu. For more on the CSM Fac-
ulty Excellence Lecture Series: Provocations, call 301-

New CSM President Dr. Maureen Murphy
An Exclusive County Times Interview
Dr. Maureen Murphy, CSM President
By Dick Myers
Editor
New College of Southern Maryland President Dr. Mau-
reen Murphy had her first teaching job at a four-year col-
lege. But, that institution was having financial problems
so she hooked on with a community college. It was an
epiphany. She thought, Who are these people who are
doing what I believe in?
Murphy has never looked back and has spent her entire
career since then in the community college arena as vice
president at Rappahannock and Wytheville community
colleges in Virginia and as president of San Jacinto Col-
lege South in Houston and Brookdale Community Col-
lege in New Jersey.
Murphy was interviewed at her office on CSMs La
Plata campus on Friday, Sept. 8 as Hurricane Irma was
beginning to set her sights on Florida. Dr. Murphy has
extensive experience with hurricanes, most recently with
the devastating Hurricane Sandy in New Jersey. It took
two and a half weeks to get her community college back
up and running
New Jersey, because it doesnt often get hurricanes,
wasnt prepared for Sandy, she said. But she says the
various campuses of College of Southern Maryland com-
municate well with each other so she believes CSM is
prepared should we get hit during the remainder of the
hurricane season. We have a pretty extensive consisten-
cy of operations, she said of the campuses in the three
counties.
One of the aspects of community colleges that attracted
Murphy to them was their business friendliness. Be-
cause we are closer to the local community we can affect
that (the local economy), she said.
She noted the cooperative arrangement between the
college and the Small Business Development Centers
(SBDC) in Southern Maryland. The Charles County
SBDC is located on the La Plata campus. The other two
counties have their SBDC offices embedded in their
county economic development offices.
One of the big employers in Southern Maryland is the
health services industry. The new Hughesville campus
will be the center for CSMs effort in that regard.
We are working closely with Dominion, Dr. Murphy

Home Improvement Projects for Your Fall To-Do List
Homeowners know that maintaining a home can be a
year-round job. No home is immune to wear and tear, and
homeowners who want to protect their real estate invest-
ments should try to stay two steps ahead to ensure their
homes do not succumb to the elements or become out-
dated and unappealing to prospective buyers.
Fall has become a season thats synonymous with
home improvement, but homeowners need not wait until
the leaves begin changing colors to start planning their
next projects. The following are a few items homeowners
can add to their fall home improvement to-do lists.
Roof inspection
Less precipitation tends to fall during the warmer
months than during the late fall and winter. As a result,
The Calvert County Times
homeowners may not be
aware of leaky roofs un-
til autumn has come and
gone. But waiting until
winter to inspect the roof
can prove disastrous, as
weather conditions will not
be conducive to inspection
and increased precipitation
may result in potentially
costly damage. Leaky roofs
can be easily identied by
looking for water stains on
interior ceilings. Once you
see a stain, you can climb
onto the roof to identify the
location of the leak and x
it before winter rains and
snowfall turn the problem
into something much larg-
er. Inspect your ceilings for
signs of leaking after a strong rainfall, and then address
any leaks immediately.
Gutter cleaning
While some homeowners prefer to delay their gutter
cleaning projects until late fall, those whose homes are
surrounded by trees may need to schedule two such proj-
ects. Gutters clogged with leaves and other debris can
cause serious roof damage, and that damage can extend
all the way inside a home. In addition, clogged gutters
make great nesting areas for insects or critters. Always
stand on a ladder when cleaning gutters, wearing gloves
to remove items by hand and dropping leaves and debris
into a trash can below. Standing on the roof and leaning

over gutters greatly increases your risk of injury. If the
gutters are clear when you rst examine them in early
fall, you can wait until later in the season to give them
a complete and thorough cleaning. Once you have n-
ished clearing the gutters, you can use a hose to run water
through them and the downspouts to conrm everything
is functioning properly.
Window and doorway inspection
Before temperatures start dropping once again, home-
owners will want to inspect their windows and doorways
for leaks. Over time, cracks can develop around windows
and doorways, and while such cracks are rarely notice-
able when the weather outside is warm, they can be quite
obvious and very costly if they remain unsealed come the
start of winter. Cold air can enter a home through cracks
around windows and doorways, and many homeowners
who dont suspect leaks may respond by turning up the
thermostats in their homes. That can prove quite expen-
sive over a full winter. Choose a windy autumn day to
place a hand by windows and external doorways in your
home to see if you can feel drafts. If you can, seal these
cracks as soon as possible.
Patio cleanup
Patios are popular hangouts during spring and summer,
and that can result in a lot of wear and tear. Once you store
patio furniture for the winter, inspect your entire patio to
determine if it needs any refurbishing. While certain pa-
tio projects may be best left for spring, you can still clean
any stained areas around the grill and look for cracks in
the sidewalk that need to be addressed.
Preparing for fall home improvement projects ahead of
time can help homeowners complete projects in a timely
manner and ensures they wont be forced to brave the
winter elements when refurbishing their homes.

Types of Firepits for Your Backyard Oasis
Outdoor entertaining areas are pop-
ular among homeowners, and firepits
are one of the most sought-after ad-
ditions to such spaces. In fact, a 2016
survey from the American Society
of Landscape Architects found that
fireplaces and firepits were the most
popular outdoor design element in
2016. Various styles are available to
homeowners who want to add firepits
to their backyards, and choosing the
right type may come down to budget,
the amount of yard space available or
even personal preference.
Wood firepit: As their name sug-
gests, wood firepits burn wood, which
may appeal to homeowners who al-
ready have wood-burning fireplaces
inside their homes. Because they dont
require homeowners to tap into gas
lines, wood firepits are generally easy
to set up and install, and many home-
owners prefer the aesthetic appeal of
crackling wood and flames thats syn-
onymous with wood firepits.
Gas firepit: Gas firepits are touted
for their convenience, as they dont re-
quire homeowners to carry wood and
build fires. Upon being connected to
a gas source, gas firepits provide fire
at the click of a switch. Gas firepits
are also appreciated for their safety,
The Calvert County Times Fall Home & Garden 15
as there is little or no risk that flames
from gas firepits will grow too large
and become difficult to control.
Gas fire tables: Gas fire tables
might be ideal for those homeown-
ers whose sense of decor favors more
modern looks. Gas fire tables come
in a variety of shapes and sizes and,
like gas firepits, theres no need to
struggle with lighting a fire or carry-
ing firewood.
Tabletop firepits: Homeowners,
condominium or apartment dwellers
with limited backyard space may want
to consider the convenience of tabletop
firepits. Restaurants may use tabletop
firepits in their outdoor seating areas
because they provide warmth and am-
biance without taking up much space.
Tabletop firepits fueled by gas will not
need to be connected to a gas source,
which may appeal to consumers who
want something thats simple as well
as small.
Fire urns: While they might not
technically qualify as firepits, fire urns
provide a similar effect as firepits.
Fire urns are typically gas-powered
and may be an ideal choice for home-
owners who are looking for a unique,
awe-inspiring feature for their outdoor
entertaining areas.

Fall Leaf Cleanup Made Easy
Apple pie, pumpkins and blooming
chrysanthemums are symbols of au-
tumn. But nothing signals the arrival
of fall more than the millions of leaves
that begin to cascade from the trees as
the temperaturesdip.
Many people feel nothing is more
beautiful than the yellow, red, purple,
and orange leaves that coat neighbor-
hoods and countrysides each fall. But
in spite of their beauty, leaves might
be a nuisance to homeowners tasked
with removing the growing piles of
them from their lawns. Those with
large oak and maple trees in front of
their homes understand the seemingly
endless work of leaf removal.
As the days begin to grow shorter
and colder, these changes trigger a
hormone release in trees, prompting
them to drop their leaves. This chemi-
cal message causes the formation of
abscission cells where the leaf stem
meets the branch, say botanists at the
Missouri Botanical Garden. So rather
than merely dropping off of trees when
the wind blows, the leaves actually fall
off deliberately.
Left untouched, fallen leaves can
contribute to lawn problems such as
poor aeration, mold growth and mois-
ture issues. Leaves also can cause

Invest in a quality leaf blower. Us-
ing a rake is good exercise, but home-
owners with large properties might
want to use a leaf blower. These ma-
chines can dislodge leaves from bush-
es and hard-to-reach crevices, and
they work faster than rakes.
Use a tarp. Rake or blow leaves
onto a tarp and then drag the tarp to

Protect Pipes from
Freezing This Winter
Freezing pipes are a concern for home-
owners who live in cold climates. When
temperatures dip below freezing, the risk
that pipes will freeze rises. Should a pipe
burst, the damage that results can be ex-
tensive and costly.
Any pipe can freeze, but those that are
directly exposed to the cold are the most
vulnerable. These include pipes that feed
outdoor hoses, swimming pool supply
lines, pipes in unheated indoor rooms (i.e.,
basements or garages), and any pipes that
run close to the outdoors through uninsu-
lated walls. Water expands as it freezes,
and that expansion can place pressure on
whatever is trying to contain it includ-
ing pipes.
To avoid serious damage, homeowners
need to prepare for the arrival of colder
weather and be smart about how they pro-
tect pipes.
Drain water from swimming pools
and water sprinkler supply lines prior to
the onset of cold weather. Drain water
before freezing temperatures arrive, and
dont forget to drain outdoor garden hoses
and store them inside after watering sea-
son has come and gone.
Close indoor water valves that feed
outdoor spigots/bibs. Open the spigot out-
side to allow water to drain out. Keep the
outside valve open so that any water that
has accumulated will continue to drain
Fall Lawn Care Tips
Spring and summer may be the seasons
most often associated with landscaping
and lawn care, but tending to lawns and
gardens is a year-round job. If lawn and
garden responsibilities dip considerably
in winter, then fall is the last signicant
chance before the new year that home-
owners will have to address the landscap-
ing around their homes.
Fall lawn care differs from spring and
summer lawn care, even if the warm tem-
peratures of summer linger into autumn.
Homeowners who want their lawns to
thrive year-round can take advantage of
the welcoming weather of fall to address
any existing or potential issues.
Keep mowing, but adjust how you
mow. Its important that homeowners con-
tinue to mow their lawns so long as grass
is growing. But as fall transitions into
winter, lower the blades so the grass is cut
shorter while remaining mindful that no
blade of grass should ever be trimmed by
more than one-third. Lowering the blades
will allow more sunlight to reach the grass
in the months ahead.
Remove leaves as they fall. Much like
apple-picking and foliage, raking leaves is
synonymous with fall. Some homeowners
may wait to pick up a rake until all of the
trees on their properties are bare. However,
allowing fallen leaves to sit on the ground
for extended periods of time can have an
adverse effect on grass. Leaves left to sit
on the lawn may ultimately suffocate the
grass by forming an impenetrable wall that
deprives the lawn of sunlight and oxygen.

Preparing Your Fireplace Potential Indicators of
or Stove for the Season Roof Trouble
Prepare fireplaces, chimneys and heating stoves for another season of regular use.
Fireplaces and wood-burning stoves
not only can be beautiful focal points
within a home, but they also pro-
vide an additional source of heat and
can be used to keep rooms or entire
homes comfortable without the need
for additional and potentially costly
heatingsources.
Just like more modern home heating
systems, stoves and fireplaces need to
be maintained, and that maintenance
includes readying them before winter
when they are used more heavily. En-
suring a fireplace or stove is in good
working order helps to guarantee ef-
ficiency of use and safety during the
winter months.
Open-flame heating sources carry
with them certain risks. The National
Fire Protection Association states that,
between 2009-2013, American fire de-
partments responded to 56,000 home
structure fires that involved heating
equipment. The NFPA notes that the
leading factor contributing to home-
heating fires is a failure to keep things
clean, principally from solid-fueled
heating equipment. The following
are a handful of ways to stay safe as
you get ready for another cozy season
around the fire.
Start with the chimney. Begin
by having your chimney thoroughly
cleaned and inspected. Creosote can
build up inside of the chimney. Creo-
sote is highly flammable and becomes
more difficult and expensive to clean
the longer it builds up inside your flue
lining. In addition, animals may have
created nest inside of the chimney
since the last time the fireplace was
used. A professional chimney sweep
should be hired in this situation. He or
she will be able to effectively clean the
chimney in a manner that is the least
messy and disruptive to residents.
The Calvert County Times
Install or check smoke and car-
bon monoxide detectors. Operational
alarms are essential to preventing in-
jury or death resulting from smoke
or carbon monoxide inhalation. Such
detectors are inexpensive safeguards
that should be installed on every
floor of the house. Batteries should
be replaced every six months, and the
alarms themselves should be changed
every five to 10 years.
Inspect the chimney from outdoors
as well. Inspect the mortar around any
bricks in the chimney and surrounding
areas for cracks. If left unaddressed,
these can cause dangerous fires. If
there are serious cracks, a professional
may need to make repairs or the chim-
ney may need to be replaced. You also
can have the chimney capped with a
screen to keep animals and debris
from entering.
Inspect the damper. A damper is
a valve or plate that stops or regulates
the flow of air inside a chimney. It
should be checked prior to the first use
of a stove or fireplace so homeown-
ers can be certain it opens and closes
smoothly.
Clear out flammable items. Move
flammable items away from the front
of a fireplace or stove. Be sure cur-
tains or other home furnishings are far
enough away that they will not catch
fire from any errant sparks or flames.
Order wood now. Be sure there is
plenty of wood for the season. Ask a
wood supplier to estimate just how
much will be needed, and double-
check that the wood will arrive in time
for the start of the season.
By preparing for fireplace and wood
stove use now, homeowners can ensure
their winters are comfortable and safe.
With regard to home repairs, home-
owners may be able to delay some proj-
ects until the weather permits or they
find room in their budgets. But other
areas, including the roof, may demand
immediate action.
Few homeowners give the roofs of
their homes much thought until a prob-
lem arises. But learning to recognize
potential indicators of roof trouble can
help homeowners prevent potentially
drastic situations down the road.
Light: Homeowners with attics in
their homes can inspect the ceilings in-
side the attic for signs of holes or leaks.
Light peering through the top of the
house indicates a hole or leak, as does
stains or streaks on the ceiling.
Worn shingles: Shingles should lie
flat against the roof, so any that appear
to be buckling or turning up are dam-
aged and in need of repair. A single
damaged shingle does not require a full
roof replacement, but inspect all the
shingles nonetheless. Another indicator
of shingle problems can be found when
cleaning downspouts or gutters. If the
gutters and downspouts contain lots
of shingle granules, the roof may soon
need to be replaced.
Address Air Leaks to
Save Energy and Money
Rising energy costs coupled with the
continued adoption of eco-friendly life-
styles are two factors driving homeowners
to seek ways to reduce energy consump-
tion in their homes. Reducing energy
consumption is reason enough for many
homeowners to make changes around
the house, but saving energy sometimes
means saving substantial amounts of
money as well.
Energy-efficient appliances and eco-
friendly building materials can help home-
owners reduce energy consumption. But
homeowners looking for additional ways
to cut cooling and heating costs can ad-
dress air leaks around the house to make
their homes more energy efficient.
Identify air leaks around windows and
doorways. Autumn is a great time of year
to identify air leaks. Fall, and particularly
late fall, tends to be characterized by cold
air that makes it easy to detect air leaks.
Feel for leaks around windows and door-
ways, ideally conducting such tests on
cold, windy days when you can quickly
detect if air is flowing in from the outside.
Leaks around windows and doors waste
energy because the interior of the home is
either colder (in the winter) or warmer (in
the summer) than it needs to be, prompt-
ing homeowners to turn up their thermo-
stats or rely more heavily on air condition-
ing units.
Look for leaks elsewhere around the
house. While windows and doorways are
where many leaks are found, leaks also
Thursday, September 14, 2017
Moss: Moss on a rooftop may give a
home character, but that added character
is costly. Shady areas of a roof can be
susceptible to the growth of moss and
fungi because moisture can be trapped
in such areas. If possible, remove moss
or fungi from a roof with a stiff brush
or hire a professional to do the job in-
stead. Moss may come back even after
brushing it off, so homeowners should
keep an eye on areas of their roofs that
get little sunlight. In addition, trapped
moisture can be very harmful to a roof,
so it may be wise to exercise caution and
have roofs with mold or fungi growths
inspected.
Age: Another indicator of roof trou-
ble may be the age of the roof. Even if
there are no visible signs of damage,
homeowners whose roofs have some
years under their belt may want to con-
sider replacing them. Asphalt shingle
roofs typically have life expectancies of
20 to 25 years, while roofs installed over
existing layers of shingles may need to
be replaced after 20 years.
Recognizing minor roof damage
before it escalates into a larger prob-
lem can save homeowners substantial
amounts ofmoney.
may be found around plumbing, electri-
cal fixtures and dryer vents. Inspect such
areas by feeling for drafts or looking
for signs that insects and critters might
beentering.
Look up and down. Evidence of air
leaks may be noticeable on both the floor
and the ceiling. Dirty spots on carpeting
and the ceiling may be indicative of air
leaks at interior wall/ceiling joints and
wall/floor joists. Fixing such leaks may be
as simple as applying some caulk.
Go with gaskets. The United States
Department of Energy recommends in-
stalling foam gaskets behind outlet and
switch plates on walls. Outlets and switch
boxes on exterior walls provide another
place for air to leak into a home and drive
up energy costs. Properly installed gaskets
can cut back on air infiltration, provid-
ing an inexpensive way to save energy
andmoney.
Cover the kitchen exhaust fans when
you are not cooking. Kitchen exhaust fans
can help prevent fires and unfavorable in-
door air conditions when preparing meals
at home. But such fans provide opportuni-
ties for air to enter a home, so make sure
they are tightly closed or covered when no
one is cooking in the kitchen.
Air leaks around a house can waste en-
ergy and contribute to high energy bills,
particularly during the winter and sum-
mer when temperatures outside tend to be
at their most extreme.

Inaugural Taste of the Beaches Deemed a Success
By Dick Myers
Editor
Chesapeake Beach Mayor Pat Ma-
honey looked over the crowd and deemed
the rst Taste of the Beaches a success.
He said the event at Kellams Field park
offered plenty of free entertainment for
the whole family and also provided them
with options for purchase of food and
drinks. Wine and craft beers were of-
fered for the adults.
The event was especially popular with
the kids, as they had an opportunity to
play in the Kids Zone, visit with Spider
Man and Snow White, have their pictures
taken with a mermaid, and paint Kind-
ness Rocks.

Blue Crabs Take Pitchers
Duel to Beat Brainstormers
The Southern Maryland Blue Crabs
(28-36) won the series finale against
the Lancaster Barnstormers (34-30)
3-1, behind a stellar pitching perfor-
mance from David Russo (2-3).
The Blue Crabs grabbed the lead
early in the game, scoring a pair in
the top of the first. Edwin Garcia
got the offense going on a double off
Brad Bergesen (9-9) with one out in
the inning. Back-to-back RBI hits
followed, as Nate Samson drove in
Garcia, and then scored himself on
a single from Michael Snyder to give
the Blue Crabs a 2-0 lead.
Russo took the mound in the bot-
tom of the first with a two-run lead
despite not having thrown a pitch
in the outing yet. The southpaw re-
tired the first 11 batters he faced on
the day, before a two-out walk in
the fourth inning finally put a man
aboard for the Barnstormers. Af-
ter a hit-by-pitch moved the runner
into scoring position, Russo bounced
back to get a flyout from Sean Halton
to end the inning.
Southern Maryland added anoth-
er insurance run in the fifth, as the
Barnstormers turned to the bullpen.
Jarrett Leverett came in to replace
Bergesen, picking up a strikeout be-
fore issuing a walk to Luis Alen. An-
other walked followed, as Zach Cone
headed to first putting runners on the
corners with one out for Jose Lozada.
Lozada singled to center field, scor-
ing Alen, but ending the inning as he
and Cone both were thrown out try-

ing to advance to second and third on
the play as well.
The Blue Cras took their 3-0 ad-
vantage into the bottom half of the
inning, as Russo headed back put
and turned in another 1-2-3 inning.
He finally allowed his first hit in
the bottom of the sixth, as Trayvon
Robinson ended the no-hit bid with a
two-out single before Russo got out
of the inning.
Southern Maryland sent Russo
back out to start the seventh, picking
up a popup for out number one be-
fore giving up a single to Sean Hal-
ton. The hit ended the day for Russo,
as he exited giving up just two hits
across 6.1 innings. He turned over
the three-run lead to another lefty,
as Rob Carson came on and took just
six pitches to finish off the inning.
After a scoreless eighth from both
bullpens, the Blue Crabs turned the
ninth inning over to closer Cody Ep-
pley (S,32). Eppley walked Robinson
to start the inning, with Robinson
moving into scoring position on a
groundout. After a strikeout, Halton
singled to score Robinson and cut the
lead to 3-1. Eppley recovered to get
a groundball from Steve Clevenger,
ending the game with a Blue Crabs
victory. The win gives Southern
Maryland back-to-back series wins
with just six games remaining in the
regular season.

St. Marys College Names Oliver Nets 50th Career

Senior Woman Administrator Win for Seahawks
By Nairem Moran
St. Marys College of Maryland
Scott Devine, the director of athletics
and recreation at St. Marys College of
Maryland, announced Erin McDonnell
as the next Senior Woman Administrator
at the College on Thursday afternoon.
McDonnell, who is entering her third
season as the head womens lacrosse
coach at St. Marys, replaces former
head womens basketball coach, Crystal
Gibson, as the departments SWA. Gib-
son stepped down this past July to take
the associate director of athletics posi-
tion at Susquehanna University.
Devine stated, I am happy to an-
nounce Coach McDonnell as our next
Senior Woman Administrator and I be-
lieve she will pick up right where Crys-
tal Gibson left off. We have plans to
enhance the visibility of the SWA posi-
tion. I am condent that Erin is ready to
take on the duties and the liaison work
that comes with the title. I will also look
to Erin to help impact things at the Capi-
tal Athletic Conference level and at the
NCAA level, with the goal in mind to
provide the highest quality student-ath-
lete experience we possibly can.
Erin will also play an important role
in developing relevant programs for our
student-athletes, with a particular focus
on issues most important to our female
student-athletes and staff. I look for-
ward to partnering with Erin on these
important initiatives.
In her role as SWA, McDonnell will
have a full plate of responsibilities, in-
cluding serving on the management
team for the Department of Athletics &
Recreation; advising the Student-Ath-
lete Advisory Committee; and attending
all Capital Athletic Conference Athletic
Council meetings. Additionally, she
will coordinate the physical education
program.
Another essential duty associated
with SWA will be McDonnells role as
the departments liaison to the Ofce of
Inclusion, Diversity and Equity (IDEs).
She will work closely with Dr. Kortet
Mensah, the associate vice president of
diversity and inclusion/chief diversity
ofcer, to provide programming dem-
onstrating the Colleges commitment
to providing learning opportunities that
enhance each members ability to posi-
tively interact with diverse individuals.
I am extremely excited and honored
by this opportunity. I cannot wait to give
back to the community, student-athletes,
and the athletic department through this
position, expressed McDonnell.
McDonnell has led the Seahawk
womens lacrosse program to a 25-13
(11-5 CAC) two-year record, including
a trip to the 2016 NCAA Division III
Championship Tournament in her rst
season at the helm.

St. Marys College of Maryland
Seventh-year head coach Alun Oliver
04 now stands alone as the second all-
time winningest coach in the 40-year his-
tory of the St. Marys College of Maryland
mens soccer program. St. Marys posted
a 2-1 victory over Bridgewater (Va.) Col-
lege on Sunday afternoon to nish second
in the Ninth Annual Seahawk Classic.
Oliver surpassed his former coach and
mentor, Eric Wagner. Wagner, who is cur-
rently the head coach at Swarthmore Col-
lege, posted a 49-42 record in his ve sea-
sons at St. Marys (1997-2001).
St. Marys 2, Bridgewater 1 -- How it
Happened
St. Marys came out fast and headed
into halftime with a 2-0 lead.
The rst goal was put in by senior for-
ward Emmanuel Oppong (Tema, Ghana/
Blake) in the 27th as Oppong corralled a
long pass at the top of box and then drib-
bled past a defender before ring a shot at
the near post.
The second came from junior captain
Juwan Kearson (Baltimore, Md./St. Pauls
School) 10 minutes later as Kearson re-
ceived a pass in stride from rst-year
forward Isaac Ekobo (Hyattsville, Md./
Thomas Stone) and rocketed a shot into
the lower left corner.
The Seahawks surrendered a goal late
in the second half but held on for the 2-1
win.
Bridgewater was awarded a penalty
kick and senior captain Zack Haussler
(Woodbine, Md./Glenelg) stopped the ini-
tial shot by Thomas White but then White
put back the rebound.
For the Seahawks (3-2-0)
Scorers: Oppong (1 goal); Kearson (1
goal); Ekobo (1 assist)
Goalkeeper: Haussler (4 saves, 1 goal
allowed, 90:00)
St. Marys nished the game with 19
shots (seven on goal) and also managed
eight corner kicks.
For Bridgewater (1-3-0)
Scorer: White (1 goal)
Goalkeeper: Quentin Boric (5 saves, 2
goals allowed, 90:00)
The Eagles had 11 shots (ve on goal)
and earned four corners on the day.
Notes
St. Marys stayed disciplined and earned
zero cards on the day while Bridgewater
notched one.
Oglethorpe University (4-0-0) claimed
the Seahawk Classic title as the Stormy
Petrels posted a 2-0 weekend record while
the Seahawks took runner-up honors.
Up Next for the Seahawks
