About Spread of Gangs WERE READY FOR FALL

By Dick Myers
Editor
Calvert County Delegate Mark
Fisher (R: 27C) is concerned about the
spread of a violent gang in neighbor-
ing Anne Arundel County. He posted
the following on his weekly blog: A
violent Salvadoran gang known as
MS-13 is expanding in Anne Arun-
del County.
The gang is connected to the dis-
appearance of multiple teenage girls,
beatings in schools, and stabbings.
A case recently heard by the District
Court of Annapolis was just sent to the
Circuit Court.
Anne Arundel County formed a
joint task force to combat the growing
presence of MS-13.

Dominion Cove Point Hearing Chesapeake Beach

Continuance Announced Revises Ethics Ordinance
By Dick Myers
Editor
Chief Public Utility Law Judge
Terry J. Romine has issued a notice
of continuation of the public hearing
regarding the application to amend
Dominion Energy Cove Points Cer-
tificate of Public Convenience and
Necessity (Case No. 9318).
The hearing, for those individuals
who signed up to speak at the Oc-
tober 2 hearing but were not called
on due to time constraints, will be
held Thursday, October 19, 2017 at 6
p.m. at the Mill Creek Middle School
Cafetorium, 12200 Southern Con-
nector Boulevard in Lusby.
Persons who were unable to attend
the October 2 hearing will also have
an opportunity to sign up and speak
at the October 19 hearing. Written
comments can also be filed with the
Commission (by October 19).
More than 50 people spoke at the
Oct. 2 hearing and after three hours
there were still 17 more signed up
who could not speak.
Dominions request in the PSC
public notice was officially described
as 1) remove an unnecessary emis-
sion limit as a specific condition and
2) allow for operational flexibility
to maintain reliability of the project
specifically to permit the use of ex-
isting combustion turbines to supply
backup power if needed.
Most of the Oct. 2 speakers op-
posed the proposal, claiming it would
add to the areas air pollution and be
hazardous to the health of residents.
Supporters, many of whom were
Dominion workers, claimed it would
give the company operational flex-
ibility. One of the supporters was
Calvert County Board of County
Commissioners Vice President Evan
Slaughenhoupt, Jr. who presented the
boards supporting position.
Before the Oct. hearing began, Ro-

ing in Baltimore.

Current Ordinance Falls Short of State Guidelines
By Dick Myers
Editor
There are 157 municipalities in the
state of Maryland. Only ve have not
met state ethics requirements. Chesa-
peake Beach is one of the ve. The
town hopes it is well on its way to cor-
recting that problem.
The town revised its Ethics Ordi-
nance in 2016, but that revision did not
meet state muster. The town council at
its Sept. 21 meeting formally adopted
a new Ethics Ordinance. The decision
followed a public hearing at which no
one spoke. The unanimous approv-
al came after acceptance of several
amendments offered by Councilman
Derek Favret.
Favrets amendments extended the
ethics requirements to candidates for
mayor and town council. On advice of
their attorney, the council did, how-
ever, remove Favrets suggestion that
con ict of interest provisions also ap-
ply to the candidates. Attorney Elissa
D. Levan said those provisions typi-
cally just apply to the mayor and mem-
bers of the council to prevent voting in
matters where a con ict exists.
Favret told the County Times after
the meeting that he was convinced that
his amendments that passed would
meet state requirements. He said the
state ethics provisions did extend to
candidates as well as sitting members.
Councilman Stewart Cumbo also
had concerns about the make-up of
the Ethics Commission. He said that a
quorum of the three-member commis-
sion would be two, and he believed that
any decision of the commission should
be unanimous of the three members.
Cumbo said he didnt know whether
his concerns should be in the ordinance
or in policies enacted by the commis-
sion. His concerns were not added to
the ordinance but Ethics Commission
Chair Philip Kete said his board would
deal with those concerns before the re-
vised ordinance is sent to the state for
review.

Issues Aired About Fire,
Rescue, EMS Training
By Dick Myers
Editor
The Calvert County Board of County
Commissioners (BOCC) received a brief-
ing at their Oct. 10 meeting about the dif-
ficulties of training an all-volunteer fire,
rescue and EMS force. Sometimes at the
end of the lengthy and expensive train-
ing, other counties wind up being the
beneficiary.
Presenters of the briefing were Coor-
dinator of the Fire Rescue, EMS Divi-
sion James Richardson, Chief of Calvert
Advanced Life Support and Paramedic
Christopher Shannon and Maryland Fire
and Rescue Institute Faculty Supervisor
and Past Chief of the Prince Frederick
VFD Timothy Delehanty.
Shannon said changes to requirements
for Advanced Life Support (paramedics)
are presenting challenges for volunteers.
Where before, training could be done
within the departments, now paramedics
must first complete a course at a com-
munity college. That takes 18 months and
costs the county $9,000, when all is said
and done.
He said with that training, which is the
same as required for counties with paid
staff, they have a ticket for a job in either
Charles or St. Marys, which both have
paid paramedics.
He said in St. Marys, paid paramedics
work under contract and are not county
employees, but are paid $30 an hour. What
started out as a small force of three has
now ballooned to nine and they are mov-
ing to having at least one paid paramedic
on call at all times.
Charles County paramedics are full-
time county employees with full benefits.
They enjoy being county employees, he
said.
The community college curriculum is
science-oriented, so some who wish to
Public Hearing Set on
Grinder Pump Fees
The Calvert County Board of County
Commissioners (BOCC) will hold a
public hearing Oct. 17, 2017, to consider
and receive comments on a proposal to
establish an annual fee to maintain up to
182 privately owned grinder pumps. The
hearing will begin at 10:30 a.m. at the
Commissioners Hearing Room in the
Calvert County Circuit Courthouse, lo-
cated at 175 Main St. in PrinceFrederick.
The proposed $180 annual fee will ap-
ply to residents who own grinder pumps
maintained by Calvert County Depart-
ment of Public Works Water and Sewer-
age Division. If a resident chooses to not
have the Water and Sewerage Division
maintain their grinder pumps, they can

siderable training for apparatus operation
and for leadership, such as fire officers and
safety officers, he noted.
We appreciate that the BOCC gives us
what we need to do the job, Delehanty
said.
Shannon also bemoaned the increas-
ing costs of pharmaceuticals and changes
in administering protocol. The types of
meds are dictated by a physician board. I
cant keep up with pharmaceutical costs,
he said.
Shannon, who is also a full-tine para-
medic in another county, noted that they
run calls with five paramedics, so they
have someone to assist in the administer-
ing of the meds, where in Calvert its just
one person to deal with everything.
Commissioner Pat Nutter observed that
duties such as fundraising and cleaning
vehicles were left out of the discussion. He
wondered how the county could attract a
person to volunteer duty who has a family
at home and other responsibilities.
Delehanty observed that volunteer ser-
vice in Calvert County is indeed a family
affair. Many companies have had genera-
tions of the same family to serve. What
drives these volunteers is how much they
care, he said.

When a county sheriffs deputy and child protec-

because of her frustration with his obtuse and de-

Calderon was angry with the boy, she said, be-
cause he do a lot of things and she need to teach
him, according to charging documents.
The sheriffs deputy and child welfare services

CSM Foundation Campaign Aims to Impact Students

The College of Southern Maryland Foundation is seek-
ing to make an even greater impact for CSM students as
it surpasses its initial goal of $10 million and challenges
the community to help raise another $2 million toward
its Make An Impact campaign. Due to the generous
support received since the public launch of its campaign
last November, the CSM Foundation has challenged it-
self to a stretch goal of $12 million to benefit the colleges
transformative three-year outreach and fundraising ef-
fort that will culminate in 2018 with the colleges 60th
anniversary.
Through the foundations early efforts, and with sup-
port from CSMs closest supporters, more than $7 million
had been received when the campaign publicly launched
as part of last years online day of generosity, Giving
Tuesday. Early contributions had reflected a milestone
$1-million gift from philanthropist and developer Mari-
anne Harms as well as cash, legacy gifts and multi-year
pledges, bequests, planned gifts and grants.
Some of the innovation and impact that we are already
seeing from the campaign is the ability to launch a Ve-
locity Center outside the gates of NSWCIHEOD to sup-
port scientists from the base working with our students
on technology transfer and innovative ideas and projects.
Not only will this be a place of learning and innovation,
but it will also spur workforce development and econom-
ic growth in Southern Maryland. The CSM Foundation
and its campaign brought in a $1-million endowment to
support the Entrepreneur and Innovation Institute and its

Harms, a Calvert County businesswoman and philanthropist, new Velocity Center, said CSM President Dr. Maureen

Scholarship Fund.
It is exciting to see private industry and individuals
in the community as well as our local, state and federal
elected officials making
their impact at CSM by
supporting such initiatives
as the Velocity Center both
financially and through
their advocacy of enhanced
economic impact efforts in

Although we have raised

Director Michelle Goodwin. The $10 million goal is fo-
cused on three major initiatives: $5 million toward schol-
arships; $3 million for programs, technology and facili-
ties; and $2 million for entrepreneurship and innovation.
We have met our goals for two of the three focus areas
and are still a bit short on the $5 million toward scholar-
ships. The CSM Foundation agreed to set a stretch goal
for an additional $2 million going into the colleges 60th
anniversary in 2018 hoping for a $12-million impact by
next December. That additional $2 million is really need-
ed for student scholarships for academic programs as well
as short-term workforce and career training.
Scholarships strategically address affordability, access
and completion by supporting students with financial
need; attracting high achievers; assisting the workforce
and career development students who cannot obtain tu-
ition assistance; and ensuring timely completion and
graduation. Recent support has come through Old Line
Bank, with a pledge of $80,000 for an annual financial
needs-based scholarship which has been created to sup-
port degree-seeking students as well as workforce train-
ing students, and through SMECO, which helped CSM
create a pre-apprenticeship certificate program for those
pursuing work as a lineman/linewoman. SMECO has
funded two scholarships for students enrolled in the 12-
week program.
Through the support of mostly grants, the second ini-
tiative for Transformative Programs, Technology and Fa-
cilities has surpassed its $3-million goal and has raised $4
million to date. Introducing transformative programs, fa-
cilities and technology is key to the regions future of our
workforce. The new Regional Campus centrally located
in Hughesville will offer specialized programs in high-
demand growth areas in the trades, health sciences, nurs-
ing and the arts, as well as athletic fields. New programs
will be developed with the input of local businesses to
meet growing, workforce demands such as cybersecurity,
mechatronics and others. Funds also help to serve special
groups, such as veterans, minority underachievers, stu-
dents with disabilities, to provide the programs and ser-
vices needed to help them succeed.
Recent grants include a $45,000 Higher Education
Partnership Grant from Dominion Energy Charity to
upgrade equipment in CSMs electronics laboratories in
Leonardtown and a $1,500 Chaney Foundation Beautifi-
cation Grant to create a natural play area at the St. Charles
Childrens Learning Center at CSM.
To date, the CSM Foundation has raised $2.1 million
toward its Entrepreneur and Innovation initiative. Most
recently, CSM received a $500,000 endowment match
through the Maryland Department of Commerces Mary-

opment could also apply, according to art advocates.
Calvert Countys economic development strategic
plan, released earlier this year, does not mention art.
But it does place a large dependence on tourism for fu-
ture economic development and singles out agri-tour-
ism as part of a plan to incentivize Agribusinesses,
including Vineyards and Farm-to-Table Operations.
But, the state of Maryland more than a decade ago
recognized the importance of art to the states econo-
my by creating an Arts and Entertainment District
program that now includes multiple towns. Leonard-
town, the St. Marys county seat, is the only Arts and
Entertainment District in Southern Maryland.
A study was conducted to assess the eco-
The Calvert County Times
nomic impact of those districts. The conclusion:
Twenty-Four A&E Districts have been established
since the program began in 2001. And, the most recent
economic impact study shows that in scal year 2014,
22 Maryland A&E Districts collectively supported an
estimated 6,000 new jobs that paid $199 million in
wages. During the same year, new jobs combined with
A&E District festivals and events supported more than
$571 million in state GDP (Gross Domestic Product)
and $39 million in state and local tax revenue.
For Leonardtown alone, the study shows almost 200
jobs and a contribution of $18.7 million to the states
GDP. North Beach would like to join the club and is
getting its ducks in a row before making the applica-
tion. It took Leonardtown a decade of work before they
succeeded with their quest.
One advantage of having the Arts and Entertainment
District designation is the availability of grants for pro-
grams to bolster the arts. One such prgram allowed the
town to hold a competition for a Public Art project.
Winner of the competition was Parran Collery, a Cal-
vert County native and daughter of Nancy Collery, the
long-tine proprietor of the former Main Street Gallery
in Prince Frederick. Her work, called The Naturalist
Bench, was unveiled at a ceremony in Leonardtown
on Friday, October 6th. It now sits in front of the town
hall for everyone to admire, and sit on.
Growing up in Calvert County, Collery received her
artistic inspiration from many sources. Of course, her
artist mother was a denite inuence. She also had as

galleries throughout the US, and are installed in many
was incredibly encouraging to everyone who took his
class, she told the Calvert County Times in an inter-
view before the bench unveiling. He exposed students
to a lot of mediums, she added.
Always in the back of her mind as she pursued her art
passion was how she was going to make a living at it.
She was taking sculpture at the University of Vermont
and wondering that very thing when she stumbled on a
ceramics class ring a raku kiln behind the art build-
ing, smoke and re and students moving with purpose.
One look and I was hooked. she said on her website.
That did lead her to a job with a tile company in
New Jersey after graduate school at Rutgers. And it
has given her a chance to make a living while pursuing
her artistic talents since she has moved back to Calvert

County and set up her own studio behind her house.
She calls her studio Eartha Handmade Tile for her love
of terra cotta clay and nature.
She sells her unique tile designs not only to individu-
als, but also markets then wholesale. And, she teaches
throughout the state in a grants program supported by
the Maryland Arts Council. Her next session will be at
Windy Hill M.S.
Collery said she was fortunate to learn about the
Leonardtown contest from a friend and decided a
bench would be something utilitarian and at the same
tine give her a chance to show off her artistic talents.
Collery said she never would have been able to set
aside other means of making a living for the several
months it took her to complete the bench without the
stipend from the Arts and Entertainment grant.
Collery nds Calvert County to have a lot of poten-
tial when it comes to the arts. We have an amazing
anchor for the arts in Annemarie Garden, she said.
Annemarie Garden is always touted in tourism liter-
ature for the county and attracts large crowds for its
events such as Artsfest and Garden in Lights.
She also noted that there were a lot of people in ce-
ramic arts in the county which gives her colleagues to
share her passion and work.
She explained, I am inspired by my backyard,
birds and other creatures, stars in the dark night sky,
the simple beauty of everyday objects, art history and
poetry . . . the list goes on and on! My tiles and mo-
saics combine sophisticated design with vibrant color
private residences.
Collery feels that North Beach has great potential to
be an Arts and Entertainment District because it is a
walkable town like Leonardtown.
Even though it is not mentioned in the economic de-
velopment plan, arts havent been forgotten in county
advertising. The county has created a brochure called
The Patuxent Arts Trail that lists art galleries and
other venues, such as Annemarie Garden. The bro-
chure is also available in the countys tourism website.

Non-invasive Cancer
Can Become Invasive
Ductal Carcinoma in situ is non-
invasive, but without treatment, it
could develop into invasive cancer
over time. At this time, health care
providers cannot predict which cas-
es of DCIS will progress to invasive
breast cancer and which will not. Be-
cause DCIS might turn into invasive
breast cancer, almost every case of
DCIS is treated.
After treatment for DCIS there is
still a small risk of recurrence (return
of DCIS) and Invasive Breast Cancer.
These risks are higher with lumpec-
tomy plus radiation therapy than with
mastectomy. However, overall surviv-
al is the same after either treatment.
With close follow-up, invasive breast
cancer is usually caught early and
can be treated successfully.

The role of exercise in cancer reduction gen is a reproductive hormone, it is also contained in fat cells. Exercise can help
burn fat and lower the amount of blood estrogen in the body, thereby lowering a
womans risk of developing breast cancer.
Exercise also can decrease the potentially harmful effects of obesity, which
are linked to the development of insulin resistance. According to the study, The
Links Between Insulin Resistance, Diabetes, and Cancer by Etan Orgel, MD,
MS, and Steven D. Mittelman, MD, PhD, although the precise mechanisms and
pathways are uncertain, it is becoming clear that hyperinsulinemia (insulin re-
sistance), and possibly sustained hyperglycemia, are important regulators of not
only the development of cancer but also of treatment outcome. Insulin resis-
tance has been linked to the development of tumors in cases of breast and colon
cancers.

tion that regular exercise can go a long way toward reducing cancer risk.

Lower your risk of breast cancer

One in eight women is expected to develop breast can-
cer in her lifetime, and a recent survey by the Society for
Womens Health Research found that 22 percent of wom-
en named breast cancer as the disease they fear most. The
specter of breast cancer makes it no surprise that women
are eager to seek various ways to reduce their risks of de-
veloping this potentially deadly disease.
Though cancer treatments continue to
evolve, there remains no cure for breast
cancer or any other types of cancer. How-
ever, there are steps men and women can
take to reduce their risks of developing
breast cancer. In fact, the National Can-

ed exposure to radiation therapy used to

treat illnesses like Hodgkins disease can
increase a persons risk of breast cancer,
particularly if treatments begin at an ear-
ly age.
* Keep a healthy weight. Obesity increases the risk of
breast cancer, particularly in postmenopausal women.
Healthy eating and exercise can help women control their
weight while reducing their risks of developing breast
cancer and a number of other diseases. Scientists at The
Mayo Clinic believe there is a link between estrogen pro-
duction in fatty breast tissue and breast cancer.
* Eat a low-fat diet. The Womens Intervention Nutri-
tion Study from the National Cancer Institute found that
the highest rate of breast cancer reduction was among a
group of women who ate a low-fat diet.
* Reduce alcohol consumption. Various studies have
indicated that women who drink alcoholic beverages may
develop cancer at a higher rate. Women who consume
two to ve drinks daily have a greater risk of developing
breast cancer than those who abstain from alcohol.
* Weigh the risks of hormone replacement therapy.
There are mixed reviews on hormone replacement thera-
py, or HRT, for postmenopausal women. There may be a
link between long-term HRT and breast cancer, particu-
larly when estrogen and progesterone are used in com-
bination. Some doctors advise estrogen-only hormone
therapy for women who have had a hysterectomy.
* Use of SERMs and aromatase inhibitors. Selective
estrogen receptor modulators, or SERMs, are drugs that
act like estrogen on some bodily tissues but block the ef-
fect of estrogen on other tissues. Aromatase inhibitors de-
crease the amount of estrogen made by the body. Women
with a high risk of breast cancer may benet from taking
a SERM or aromatase inhibitor.
* Increase fruit and vegetable consumption. Carot-
enoids are cancer-protective pigments found in a vast
number of fruits and vegetables. Re-
searchers at New York University found
women who had higher blood carotenoid
levels had a signicantly smaller risk of
breast cancer than women with lower
levels.
* Go sparingly on antibiotics. Only
take antibiotics when they are truly need-
ed. New evidence suggests that the more
often a woman takes antibiotics, the high-
er her breast cancer risk. A study of more
than 10,000 women found that women
who took antibiotics for the equivalent of
about 25 prescriptions over an average of
17 years where twice as likely to develop breast cancer
than women who never took the drugs.
* Breastfeed your children. Lactation can suppress ovu-
lation and the bodys production of estrogen, which has
been linked to higher levels of breast cancer. Breastfeed-
ing may drop a womans breast cancer risk by 4 percent.
Although there is no cure for cancer, there are a num-
ber of different ways women can reduce their risks for
breast cancer.

Rowing Team SMAC Scoreboard
Christens New Shell
With a ceremonial champagne pour,
the St. Marys College rowing team,
now in its second year as a varsity sport,
today christened the newest addition to
its eet.
Donated to the team by friend of the
College and former Foundation Board
of Directors member Dr. William Bill
Seale, this eight-person rowing shell,
named President Tuajuanda C. Jor-
dan, is slated to be the top boat for the
womens team. The eight fastest women
on the team will crew this new vessel.
It will be an honor for crew members
named to this new shell for race day,
said coach Daniel Hagelberg.
The shell gifted to the College from
Bill Seale will go a long way in helping
the growing team. In its two years as a
varsity sport, the rowing team has grown
from 25 to nearly 50 athletes. Hagelberg
thanked all those who have had a hand,
including athletes, in embracing the vi-
sion he has had for rowing at St. Marys
College being among the best.
This gift to the Seahawk rowing pro-
gram is not the rst in generous gestures
from Seale and is certainly not the rst
gift to impact the waterfront. Several
years ago, he donated the sailboat Rip-
The Calvert County Times Thursday, October 12, 2017
tide to the waterfront program. He
also ignited the Colleges $2.5M Capi-
tal Campaign Challenge with the rst
gift, provided support for the St. Marys
Undergraduate Research Fellows pro-
gram, and established the William Seale
Teaching and Learning Fund.
Hagelberg said Seales gift represents
more than just a boat as it ensures the
team has top equipment in which to
compete and seats for all who want to
row at the College.
This new boat is going to live in our
boathouse, but it will be woven into the
experience of rowers on this team for
many, many years to come.
St. Marys College of Maryland is
accredited by the Middle States Com-
mission on Higher Education through
2024-2025. St. Marys College, desig-
nated the Maryland state honors college
in 1992, is ranked one of the best public
liberal arts schools in the nation by U.S.

Seahawk Men Extend Soccer Win

Streak to Five
By Nairem Moran
St. Marys College of Maryland
The St. Marys College of Maryland mens soccer
team remains undefeated in Capital Athletic Con-
ference action following Saturdays 3-0 shutout of
Marymount (Va.) University at Long Bridge Park.
Three Seahawks found the back of the net while
junior captain Juwan Kearson (Baltimore, Md./
St. Pauls School) dished two assists in leading St.
Marys to its fth straight victory.
St. Marys 3, Marymount 0
How It Happened
The Seahawks claimed a 1-0 halftime lead
behind senior forward Emmanuel Oppongs
(Tema, Ghana/Blake [Md.]) fourth goal of the
season in the 21st minute as Oppong headed
in fellow classmate Sunny Chhatanis (Lima,
Peru/Indian Creek [Md.]) free kick from the
left.
St. Marys outshot the Saints, 14-2, and earned
four corner kicks in the rst half but six saves
by John Valcicak held the Seahawks to one
rst-half goal.
Senior forward Luke Barber (Washington,
D.C./Walt Whitman) knocked down his sec-
ond goal of the season at 55:43 with a quick
turn shot after receiving a pass from the right
from Kearson in the middle of the box.
Kearson then assisted on senior forward
Adam Kratzs (Owings, Md./Northern) sec-
ond tally of the season at 68:35 to seal the Se-
