By Sarah Miller Staff Writer The Thomas Johnson Bridge and property maintenance were among the topics addressed at the March 25 Calvert Board of County Commissioners meeting. The Calvert County Board of County Commissioners discussed a text amendment to Chapter 92 which, as written today, allows enforcement of property maintenance only in Residentially Zoned areas. It also gives the property owner up to 30 days to abate the nuisance. If the nuisance is not abated within the prescribed 30 days, the County may abate such nuisance, according to documents available on the online agenda. The proposed changes are to expand the areas of enforcement to properties zoned Rural Community District (RCD), Rural Commercial (RC), Farm and Forest District (FFD) and any Town Center (TC). The proposed changes to the Notice to Abate section will mirror the County Zoning Ordinance for enforcement, which consists of a written Notice of Violation, followed by a Citation if not abated in 30 days. If the citation for the violation is unresolved, the case would be sent to the County Attorneys office to schedule a date with the District Court, according to Chief Zoning Enforcement Officer Christopher Breedlove. Community members attended the meeting to express their concerns that the changes would disallow composting and other agricultural activities. One speaker requested the commissioners hold a meeting to discuss the
change in the evening so individuals could attend after work. Breedlove assured both the community and the county commissioners that the ordinance would not obstruct the Right to Farm Act, and is only meant to deal with serious health and safety issues in densely occupied areas, such as rusting refrigerators or broken down vehicles left unaddressed in an individuals front yard. The intention is to bring all areas in the county up to the same standards the town centers are governed under. In addition to the amendment, the commissioners talked about the transportation priorities. The number one priority is the Thomas Johnson Bridge, the second is Route 2-4 from south of Route 765 to north of Auto Drive and the third priority is Route 261 in North Beach from 9th Street to the Anne Arundel County line, according to Principal Family Owned & Operated Since 1929 Planner Patricia Haddon.

By Sarah Miller Staff Writer The majority of the March 20 Chesapeake Beach Town Council meeting was spent discussing an ordinance to amend the town code on vehicles and parking. The ordinance is written to impose certain restrictions and limitations on parking oversized vehicles on town streets and roads and put limit on the time an oversized vehicle could be stopped, standing or parked on a street or right-of-way to one hour. Vehicles covered by the ordinance would include large commercial vehicles, boats and trailers that are 23 feet in length, eight feet in height and seven feet in width. Council members expressed concern with the way the ordinance would deal with boats and family members staying for a weekend with personal recreational vehicles. Proposed amendments to the ordinance were voted down,

On Monday morning, June 29, 1972, Ron Miller, a farmer in the tiny Indiana town of Peru, was applying liquid nitrogen to his crops when he felt the applicator blades strike a metal object in the field. Climbing down from the tractor, he found himself staring at what he initially believed to be a toy machine gun. At about the same time, another farmer, 61 year-old Lowell Eliott, spotted what he at first mistook for a groundhog in his field. Eliott would later tell a reporter, It didnt move so I took a closer look. Inside a mail bag was $500,000 in small bills the ransom from the previous Fridays skyjacking. Following the hijacking of a TWA 707 in January of 1972, the Federal Aviation Administration issued a directive requiring mandatory screening of all airline ticket holders to stem the new crime of hijackingfor-ransom. But the new requirements didnt take effect until January 1 of the following year. American Airlines metal detectors were still on order when a young man with pot-marked skin approached the ticket counter at Lambert Field in St. Louis. Robert Wilson paid cash for his ticket. The purple-tinted sunglasses, vinyl trombone case and goldcolored sports jacket suggested a connection to the music industry. On June 19, air traffic had crawled to a halt worldwide, as the Airline Pilots Association called a 24-hour strike to protest lax security in U.S.

station attendant and house painter at his fathers home in Wyandotte, Michigan. A fingerprint lifted from the 45 pounds of ransom money matched one on McNallys Navy records. A second fingerprint was recovered from the ransom note. The portrait which emerged of the latest D.B. Cooper copycat was of a divorced high school dropout with a worthless streak. After his accomplice had failed to meet him at the designated rendezvous point with the car, McNally had thumbed a ride to Perus only hotel. The Good Samaritan who had picked up McNally was the chief of police coordinating the statewide manhunt for the hijacker! Martin McNally was convicted of two counts of aircraft piracy, and sentenced to consecutive life sentences. Frank W. Boadwell, an American Airlines district sales manager, presented Lowell Eliott with a check for $10,000. Eliott initially refused the check, saying he had done nothing to earn it. Despite a less-than-sterling prison record, McNally was finally paroled in 2010, the only surviving member of the Class of 72 Parachute Club. Edward C. Davenport, Drum Point, Md

teams, using him as a resource to answer specific questions or fix computer problems. Students need to take ownership of their education, Yurko said. The middle school students of today are going to be the colleagues of tomorrow, he said, and the more they achieve, the better prepared they will be for the future. In high schools, students can get involved in Engineering and Biomedical Science, Kolo said. Their involvement in the programs can culminate in college credit. Public schools arent the only ones to implement cutting edge technology in classrooms on a daily basis. In February 2013, The Calverton School announced each lower school student would receive an iPad as part of the implementation of its technology plan. Beginning in Fall 2013, all Lower School students, Preschool through 5th grade recieve brand new iPads. The 1:1 (one to one) tablet program is the first of its kind in Calvert County, according to Calverton Head of School Spencer Taintor. Students are being subjected to an increasing mobile environment from cloud computing to digital textbooks. Working in this environment requires a different set of skills that needs to be part of their educational experience. The Calverton School believes that the 1:1 Tablet program will facilitate learning for students both in and outside the classroom. The schools technology infrastructure was designed in a way to implement this type of program - allowing the schools focus during implementation to be on how teachers will further individualize each students educational experience and create new areas for student engagement. The school held its first Open Box Night in September 2013. Each student received a new iPad 2 to take back and forth from home to school. Students will be encouraged to use them in all classes. The school outfitted its library with tablet docking stations and keyboards. In the middle and upper schools at The Calverton School, students are encouraged to bring their own devices, Taintor said. Teachers are supplied with iPads and Apple TVs for use in their classrooms. There are so many different resources to access with technology, Taintor said, adding that the younger students are when exposed to technology the more able they will be to adapt to changing technologies and the more ready they will be to enter the workforce.

According to the Maryland Youth Tobacco Survey, about one out of four high school youth in Calvert use tobacco products. Tobacco use is the number one cause of preventable deaths in the United States so with funding from the Maryland Cigarette Restitution Fund, Calvert Library and Calvert County Health Department hosted a contest for teens to produce public service announcements to dissuade youth from using tobacco. Twenty-two youth participated in the contest! There were 67 people at the Red Carpet event with Roz Plater from ABC News as the celebrity emcee. The event included a photo booth, swag bags, and refreshments sponsored by the Maryland Cigarette Restitution Fund. The venue was decorated by the Calvert Library Teen Advisory Council of Students (TACOS) and they were there to meet and greet in their formal gowns and tuxedos.
Roz Plater, Jonathan Gauthier and Tammy Halterman were the judges for the contest and emcee Plater expressed enthusiasm for all the entries. She said that all three judges were very impressed by the creativity and technological know-how these teens exhibited. A big thank you went out to Charles Gauthier for his support of the contest including donating cameras for teens to use and teaching video editing classes at the library. The Peoples Choice award went to Girl Scout Troop 6061. They had over 350 views by the deadline for scoring which means they did an excellent job promoting their video and the anti-tobacco message. The team included Alexis Rinker, Eva Hartsig, Victoria Rodriguez, Erin Clow, Sabrina Pearson, Marisa Brock, Julia Roush and Bethany Higgs. Each took home a Bluetooth speaker as part of their prize. The Judges Choice winner was Sydney Baileys ad that was a compilation of teens saying why youth shouldnt use tobacco. Bailey received an Amazon gift card in addition to her trophy. Bailey is a student at Patuxent High School and said that she does a lot of video editing just for fun and she hopes to pursue a career in acting. Keep an eye out for the winning commercial on Comcast channels such as MTV, VH-1, Comedy Central, SyFy, Nickelodeon, ABC Family, TLC, Cartoon Network, Animal Planet and others. Later this spring, all nine winners will take a limo out to dinner together to celebrate their work. If you see them, be sure to congratulate them! The contest was coordinated by Calvert Library, supported by the Calvert County Health Department and funded by the Maryland Cigarette Restitution Fund.

Completing home improvement projects on your own can be both rewarding and financially responsible. A growing number of homeowners are dabbling in do-it-yourself projects, recognizing both the personal and financial rewards of such undertakings. As more and more homeowners perform their own renovations and other improvement projects, many are outfitting their homes with state-of-the-art workshops and transforming garages into a do-it-yourselfers paradise. Safety is vital in any workshop. During a typical home renovation, homeowners will use all sorts of dangerous tools and chemicals, and even the simplest mishap can result in a serious injury. Following safety rules can reduce the risk of injury. Before novice do-it-yourselfers begin working with power tools, they should familiarize themselves with their owners manuals and the operating instructions. Some home-improvement retailers offer classes in various home renovation projects and may be able to teach tool usage. Do-ityourselfers should consult professionals with regard to proper tool use and safety. Do not use tools for purposes other than what the tool was intended to do. If machine guards are provided, they should be used and never removed.
with machinery if they are feeling sick or fatigued or while taking medication that can affect concentration or alertness. All it takes is a moment of distraction to cause an injury. Never surprise anyone who is working with power tools and keep unnecessary people out of the workshop, where they might chat and distract others from the tasks at hand. Failure to work in comfortable conditions can result in repetition injuries or muscle strain. Make the workshop as comfortable as possible. Ensure the work table is at the right height. Use a rubber mat on the floor to reduce standing fatigue. Have a stool or chair available for taking breaks. Power cords strewn around the workshop present a tripping hazard. They also make it possible to drag sharp or heavy tools off of tables and workbenches if the cords are pulled or tripped over. A neat workshop is a safer workshop. Pay attention to where tools are kept and keep cords manageable.

Dress appropriately
Loose clothing and hair can become tangled or lodged in equipment. Do not wear jewelry. Dress comfortably but appropriately for the workshop, being sure to wear sturdy shoes.
Eye, ear and breathing protection are key in any workshop environment. Dust and chemical gases may be present when working with certain products, and debris can be kicked up and enter the eyes, causing irritation or even blindness. Loud power tools can damage sensitive ears, especially when used in a contained room. Always wear goggles, sound-muffling earphones and dust masks when working. Do-it-yourselfers should never work
Children and pets are curious and may wander into a workshop to explore. They can become seriously ill or injured by the bevy of chemicals and tools used for common projects. Some items are flammable and sharp and should always be out of reach. Locking cabinets and drawers can keep tools inaccessible. Also warn youngsters against entering the workshop unattended. As more people engage in do-it-yourself projects, homeowners should reacquaint themselves with safety procedures.

tions for beginners and advanced Zumba students so nobody will feel left out. Zumba doesnt have only physical benefits, Weaver said. Students benefit mentally, both from the boost of energy they get from exercising and the social outlet Zumba provides. Weavers Zumba class is held every Monday at 5:15 p.m. and every Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. All classes are held at the Chesapeake Ranch Estates clubhouse located at 500 Clubhouse Drive in Lusby. In addition to the twice-weekly classes, Weaver hosts occasional Zumba parties at the clubhouse. Her most recent party was a blacklight party on March 21, where she strung up blacklights, passed out glow sticks and turned out the lights. She and another instructor took turns leading the class. The most amusing part of the blacklight party was the men who were involved. While men dont normally attend the classes, she had a few show up at the blacklight party and they got so into the dancing that she was tempted to invite them on stage as instructors. Weaver is planning another party for the summer at a date to be announced.
