Derelict Vessels Sinks To New Depths
A salvage operation last week came close to removing a derelict vessel from the Patuxent River.
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
Attempts to remove a derelict ship from the Patuxent
River over the weekend started off with much hope of
success but they were dashed when the operation failed
and the ship sank even further into the river.
Petty Officer Andrew Kendrick, spokesman for the
local U.S. Coast Guard detachment, said they had part-
nered with the state’s Department of Natural Resources
(DNR) to hire a contractor to tow the vessel away; the
operation began with a barge and crane that hoisted the
108-foot vessel out of the water but it was soon placed
back in the river.
“They found it did not have a lot of structural integ-
rity,” Kendrick told The County Times. “So it was not
safe to tow out.”
Kendrick said the towing crew placed the vessel back
into the water, minus about 700 gallons of oily water,
where it sank even deeper into the river.
Kendrick said the Coast Guard and DNR were dis-
cussing next steps in removing the vessel but had yet to
come up with a finished plan.
Last week two men who are partners in owning the
boat, a retired yard patrol boat that once served as a
teaching aid at the U.S. Naval Academy, had been
charged with abandoning the vessel.
Ronald Ferry of Virginia and Jared David Kaplan
Russell, of Takoma Park, each face a possible six
months in jail or $1,000 in fines if convicted of the
charge.
Since it came to rest north of the river’s West Basin, it
has become a hazard leaking fuel oil; the Coast Guard
has hired contractors to come out by boat and use ab-
sorbent pads to remove the pollutants.
The owner of Calvert Marina where the vessel had
once been docked said he had the owners remove the
boat from the property because they had no insurance
for the vessel; the towing operation to get it out of the
marina also failed.
This left the vessel to drift around the river for three
months, said Commissioner Todd Morgan, who can see
the boat from his property on the river.
“The diesel and oil smell is ridiculous,” Morgan said.
“It’s crazy.
“Is it taxpayer money that’s funding this? We’re no
better off now than we were at the beginning of the
week.”

County Now Owns Its Animal Shelter
By Dick Myers
Editor
It’s official. Calvert County is no lon-
ger the tenant of the new Linda L Kel-
ley Animal Shelter. They’ll be the owner
of the land and building off Hallowing
Point Road when the shelter opens in
November after a ribbon cutting sched-
uled for Oct 8.
It was anticipated the county would
move to purchase the building from
Marrick Properties since the purchase
was included on the schedule of projects
for an upcoming bond sale made pos-
sible by the legislature approving an ad-
ditional $50 million bond authority for
the county.
Dominion Land, Money
Donation Completed
County will Create a New Park in Lusby
By Dick Myers
Editor
The Calvert County Board of County
Commissioners (BOCC) has signed the
deed finalizing the donation of 100 acres
of land from Dominion Energy to the
county for a park. The property was for-
merly the staging area for the Dominion
Cove Point LNG Plant construction and
was known as Offsite Ara A (OAA). It is
on Route 4 at Cove Point Road.
According to a memo from Depart-
ment of Communications Director Lin-
da Vassallo to the county commissioners
at their Sept. 11 meeting: “Prior to trans-
ferring the property the Departments of
Public Works and Parks & Recreation
conducted property inspections on the
property in late August and found no is-
sues or concerns. As part of the property
transfer arrangement, Dominion has
graciously offered to donate $1.1 million
in addition to the donation of OAA prop-
erty for development of the park.”
“It’s a huge project for us,” Vassallo
The Calvert County Times
The county entered into a lease with
an option to purchase on August 7th of
last year. According to a memo to the
county commissioners at their Sept 11
meeting, the bond authority allows “Cal-
vert County the means to purchase this
property thereby forgoing the need for
monthly payments of $45,833.33.
Purchase price of the property is
$6,113,000. Annual operating bud-
get for the new animal shelter will be
$1,665,475. It’ll cost $391,500 to equip
the new shelter. After the ribbon cutting,
Commissioner President Evan Slaugh-
enhoupt, Jr. said the shelter will have “a
soft opening.”
The county’s long-standing agreement
with Charles County’s for the Tri-Coun-
said. Sitting beside her at the meeting
was Dominion Energy VP Mike Fred-
erick, who oversaw the plant’s construc-
tion. He said, “We are thrilled to be
able to donate this property so Calvert
County residents can have the use of it
for a long time.”
Frederick himself is a Calvert County
resident, but he announced to the BOCC
that he will be leaving his position at
Cove Point for another assignment at Do-
minion’s Richmond, VA headquarters.
The commissioners expressed regret
that Frederick, who had been their point
person for the project, will be leaving.
Commissioner President Evan Slaugh-
enhoupt Jr. noted the 60-foot-high wall
intended as a noise barrier between the
plant and the community. He said af-
ter attending the plant dedication and
standing next to it while it was fully
operational, he wondered why the wall

Town Councilman Joins

North Beach Mayor’s Race
By Dick Myers
Editor

North Beach residents will have a

choice for mayor at the ballot box in
November. Councilman Randy Hummel
has joined Councilman Mike Benton as
a candidate for mayor.
Hummel has served 23 and a half
years on the council during two stints,
1986 to 1994 and again from 2002 to
present. He was an unsuccessful candi-
date for mayor in 1998, the year that cur-
rent Mayor Mark Frazer was first elect-
ed. Frazer opted not to seek re-election
this year.
According to his biography on the
town website: “Randy and his wife Jen-

Fisher Lauds Hogan’s Promise

to Exempt Retirement Income
Del. Mark Fisher (l) with Gov. Larry Hogan.
By Dick Myers
Editor
Calvert County Delegate Mark Fisher (R: District
27C) insists: “Maryland is an expensive state to live
in.” In his weekly blog, Fisher said, “The high cost of
living is why so many Marylanders choose to retire
elsewhere.”
Fisher quoted Gov. Larry Hogan in a piece in the Bal-
timore Sun as making what he called a “game-chang-
ing announcement about retirees.” Fisher reported that
the governor said: “We’re not going to stop fighting for
you until we exempt 100% of your retirement income
from Maryland State taxes!”
Governor Hogan’s campaign for re-election provided
The County Times the following information on his
position on retirement income: “When running for gov-
ernor, Hogan stated his goal of eliminating taxes on re-
tirement income on all Marylanders - stressed that this
goal could not be accomplished immediately”
Hogan: “Every single day, somewhere I go, someone
says, ‘I love Maryland… I can’t afford to stay in Mary-
land and retire on a fixed income…many other states
don’t tax retirement income, we do.” (Chase Cook,
“Hogan: ‘I don’t have a magic wand, but plans to cut
taxes,” Capital Gazette, 10/14/14)
Hogan: “Our plan – and we can’t do it immediately,
will be to completely eliminate state income taxes for
pensions and retirement rncome.” (Michael Dresser,
“Hogan vows to eliminate taxes On pensions,” The Bal-
timore Sun, 8/19/14)
Governor Hogan: “…I want to reach the point where
we are able to do away with Income taxes on all re-
tirement income, just as many other states have done.”
(“State of the state address,” Office of The Governor,
2/4/15)
Hogan affirmed that spending must be under control
first, in order to eliminate state income taxes on pen-
sions and retirement income. “Republican Larry Hogan
said Tuesday that if he is elected governor he will try to
end state income taxes on retirement income sometime
during his first term…Hogan said he first would aim to
get spending under control in the state capital. ‘Once
we get it under control, our plan – we can’t do it imme-
diately – will be to completely eliminate state income
taxes for pensions and retirement income,’ Hogan said
to a ballroom full of retired residents.” (“Brown and
Hogan attend governor’s race forum,” The Associated
Press, 8/19/14)    
Hogan argued that eliminating taxes on pensions of
seniors “should probably be a higher priority” than pro-
viding middle-class tax cuts. “Republican gubernatori-
al candidate Larry Hogan told residents of a retirement
community Tuesday night that he wants to eliminate
all state income taxes on pensions before the end of his
administration… ‘We don’t have a revenue problem in
Annapolis. We have a spending problem we need to
control,’ he said. Hogan said the elimination of taxes
and on pensions and other retirement income -- even
for affluent seniors -- should probably be a higher prior-
ity than cutting taxes for middle-class working families
because of a need to stop what he called an ‘exodus’
of seniors from Maryland.” (Michael Dresser, “Hogan
vows to eliminate taxes on pensions,” The Baltimore
Sun, 8/19/14)

Straight Talk on Straight Teeth

BY: JEFF TOMCSIK
Orthodontic braces and clear align-
ers such as Invisalign® are not just
for straightening teeth and mak-
ing your smile look better. In fact,
a highly trained and skilled dentist
will use orthodontic treatment to
improve the function of the teeth
which will result in a healthier, lon-
ger-lasting smile. While good look-
ing teeth are attractive, the purpose
of your teeth is to chew food. When
teeth are misaligned, they can slow-
ly damage opposing teeth during the
chewing process. When they are in
proper alignment, teeth break down
the food they are chewing without
damaging each other.
To help illustrate the point, think
of a well working pair of scissors.
When in good alignment the two
blades come together and meet at a
very precise point that makes them
excellent at cutting paper. On the
other hand, imagine one of the
scissor blades had a slight bend or
a ding in the metal. This imperfec-
tion would surely affect the scissor’s
ability to cut as well as when it was in
perfect alignment. If the one blade
is bent away from the other, there
will be a gap between the points of
contact that cause the cutting action.
The result would likely be a failure
to cut effectively or efficiently. If the
bend in the one blade is toward the
other, it would cause the blades to
scrape each other, making cutting
difficult. More importantly to note,
the blades scraping each other slow-
ly destroy the cutting surface of both
blades.
These same principles can be ap-
plied to your teeth. In any area of
the mouth where your opposing
teeth do not meet when you per-
form a chewing motion (meaning
there is a space between the top
and opposing-bottom tooth in any
area of your mouth when your jaw
is closed), like the scissor in the first
scenario, it is rendered ineffective in
the chewing process. On the other
hand, if there are any teeth that are
colliding with their opposing teeth,
they are likely causing trauma to
each other and slowly wearing down
the enamel surface and eventually
the tooth structure. This will like-
ly lead to greater risk of decay and
eventually risk the tooth’s overall vi-
tality.
Many people who have ongoing
problems with decay or pain de-
spite their efforts to keep their teeth
clean, might be suffering from mal-
occlusion issues that are causing the
ongoing dental problems. The good
news is that orthodontics may be a
solution to these problems, and a
straighter, more beautiful smile is a
bonus to the treatment, not the rea-
son for the treatment.
If you’re like most adults, the
thought of braces is unnerving.
Years in metal brackets and sharp
wires is no-one’s idea of a good time.
If these thoughts are keeping you
away from approaching your dentist
about a straighter, more beautiful,
better functioning, healthier smile,
consider a clear aligner option such
as Invisalign®. Invisalign® is a
clear, removeable retainer that may
achieve the same results as tradition-
al braces in less time.
The fact that aligners are remove-
able means you can take them out
whenever you eat. This makes eat-
ing more comfortable and cleaner
as you will not have to worry about
food particles being stuck in your
braces. They also allow you to eas-
ily clean your teeth, where braces
with wires make flossing and thor-
ough brushing more difficult. The
material used by Invisalign® is by
far superior to all other aligners on
the market. Not only is it the most
invisible, it is also the fastest work-
ing material, meaning you will reach
your desired outcome in a fraction
of the time to other safe orthodontic
options.
Finally, with Invisalign® technolo-
gy, your dentist can take a scan of
your mouth and show you virtually
what your results will look like, from
the improved esthetics of your smile
profile to the benefits of improving
any occlusion issues that may be
causing damage to your teeth.
The next time you go to your den-
tist, ask them if they are Invisalign®
certified. Ask them if they can pro-
vide a virtual, digital smile make-
over with the use of an iTero® scan-
ner so that you can see your likely
outcome. Also ask them if you have
any occlusion issues during chewing
and if orthodontics is right for you.
One of the biggest barriers to get-
ting orthodontic treatment dentists
hear the most is that it costs too
much. Before you allow money to
get between you and a healthy, beau-
tiful smile, think about the amount
of money you spent on your last car.
That car will likely not be in your
life ten years from now. The cost of
braces or Invisalign® is a fraction of
the cost of that car, and the results
will last you a lifetime!

A Healthy, Happy Smile

is in your future.

SMECO Holds 80th Annual Meeting
More than 6,000 Vote in Election
Southern Maryland Electric Coop-
erative (SMECO) held its 80th Annual
Meeting on August 29, 2018, at its head-
quarters in Hughesville. The Board of
Directors election was conducted by mail
prior to the meeting.
The following SMECO members were
elected to serve on SMECO’s Board for
three years: Samuel “Jack” Hammett in
Calvert County; Fern G. Brown and Ken-
neth L. Dyson in Charles County; and W.
Rayner Blair III and William R. Cullins
III in St. Mary’s County. Several bylaw
amendments were also included on this
year’s ballot, and all of them were passed.
To allow more time for printing an-
nual meeting notices and ballots, one of
the bylaw amendments adjusts the dead-
line for nominations for Board of Direc-
tor candidates. Additional amendments
provide guidelines for any future online
voting that the Board may consider for
SMECO’s annual meeting. Because of a
misprint on the ballot, votes for one of the
proposed amendments to the bylaws were
not counted. If approved by the Board of
Directors, that proposed amendment will
appear on the ballot next year.
In 2016, SMECO members voted to
amend the bylaw that outlines require-
ments for meetings and voting, and this is
the second year the election was conduct-
ed entirely by mail. Ballots were mailed

instructed to return their ballots by mail
by August 22. Members who returned
their ballots were eligible to win one of
36 electric bill credits of $50 each. More
than 6,000 members voted, and election
results were announced at the meeting.
Richard A. Winkler, Chairman of the
SMECO Board of Directors, welcomed
SMECO’s members to the event and
called the meeting to order. SMECO’s
president and CEO, Austin J. Slater, Jr.,
explained that an electric cooperative’s
members have the ability to vote each
year for their representatives who serve
on the board. While SMECO has ap-
proximately 138,000 customer-members,
in 2016 only 882 members registered to
vote, and 16 percent of those voted by ab-
sentee ballot.
In other matters, Slater said that
SMECO completed installing 167,000
smart meters at homes and businesses
throughout Southern Maryland last year.
SMECO expects the new meters to im-
prove outage response times, increase ef-
ficiency, and save money. “Smart meters
represent the ‘new normal’ for energy
companies,” he explained. “They are safe
and secure, and exemplify SMECO’s
continued investment in improving cus-
tomer service. We project that SMECO
will save upwards of $5 million per year

Two Arrested in Fastop Armed Robbery

By Dick Myers
Editor
The Calvert County Sheriff’s Office
has made two arrests in connection with
the Aug. 31 armed robbery of the Fastop
convenience store in Dunkirk.
According to a press release: “Since
Aug. 31 the Calvert County Sheriff’s Of-
fice Criminal Investigations Bureau has
followed up on numerous citizen tips
regarding the armed robbery. Detectives
were able to also utilize license plate
readers to narrow down the suspect ve-
hicle and identify the possible suspects.
“On Sept. 6, the Criminal Investigation
Bureau along with the Prince George’s
County Police Department located the
two suspects responsible for the offense
in Brandywine. Both suspects were sub-
sequently arrested. They are Roger Stir-
ling Kelly Jr. (21) of Brandywine and Ci-
dney Breanna of Upper Marlboro. Both
are currently being held at the Calvert
County Detention Center.”
According to the original report of the
incident: “On August 31, 2018 at approx-
imately 9:35pm, Deputies of the Calvert
County Sheriff’s Office responded to
the Fastop Convenience Store located
at 9880 Southern Maryland Blvd in
Dunkirk, MD for the report of an armed
robbery of the establishment. The clerk
reported to responding deputies that he
was closing out the lottery register when
a white male wearing a black mask ran
into the store brandishing a handgun.
The suspect jumped the counter and then
grabbed the money from the register
drawer. The suspect jumped back over
the counter and subsequently discharged
his handgun in the direction of the wall
behind the counter. The clerk was not
hurt during the confrontation.”
Detective Mike Mudd coordinated the
investigation.

tive,” said Professor D. Powell, networking course man-
ager, office technology program coordinator and Cyber-
Hawks cybersecurity club advisor. “This is the second
year of this competition, and we finished first in 2017
and third in 2018. That is a great accomplishment.”
The competition tested the students’ ability to solve
cyber puzzles in five categories: computer forensics,
cryptography, binary coding, networking communica-
tions and a miscellaneous mystery topic.
Cybersecurity Ventures, in its Cybersecurity Jobs Re-
port for 2018, predicted there being 3.5 million cyberse-
curity job openings by 2021. “In 2017 the U.S. employs
nearly 780,000 people in cybersecurity positions, with
approximately 350,000 current cybersecurity openings,
according to CyberSeek, a project supported by the Na-
tional Initiative for Cybersecurity Education (NICE),
a program of the National Institute of Standards and
Technology (NIST) in the U.S. Department of Com-
merce. The current number of U.S. cybersecurity job
openings is up from 209,000 in 2015. At that time, job
postings were already up 74 percent over the previous
five years, according to  a Peninsula Press analysis of
numbers from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.”
In addition to the team’s win at the state competi-
tion, the CyberHawks competed in the National Cyber
League Spring Competition. One player, Craft, compet-
ed in the Gold field and finished in the top 10 percent
out of more than 3,000 players. “We also had another

and Careers (PARCC) assessments.
Superintendent Dr. Daniel D. Curry said, “We
are pleased to see our progress on the fourth year of
PARCC. We are seeing the results of quality instruction
in our classrooms and effective leadership.”
Both elementary and middle school students showed
gains on the English language arts assessment, and Cal-
vert ranked fifth among Maryland school districts, with
54.7% of students in grades 3-8 scoring a 4 or 5, which
is an increase of 2.4% from last year. Statewide, 41.6%
of students in grades 3-8 were proficient, up one per-
centage point from last year.
Scores increased in math at the elementary and
middle school levels, as well, ranking Calvert third
in Maryland. The percentage of students who were
proficient increased nearly 5%, with 50% of students
in grades 3-8 scoring a 4 or 5. Across Maryland, the
percent of students scoring at performance level 4 or 5
increased one point to 34.1%.
Proficient scores on the Algebra 1 assessment—which
is taken by some students in middle school and some in
high school, depending upon when they are enrolled in
the Algebra 1 course—increased 3.5% to 53.8% of stu-
dents scoring a 4 or 5, ranking Calvert fourth in Mary-
land. Statewide, Algebra 1 scores dropped five points to
31.2% proficient.
Calvert ranked first on the 10th grade English assess-
post in the top 10 percent of their field and another had
96 percent accuracy,” Powell said. “The CyberHawks
are interested in growing. We want any student who
wants to learn cybersecurity,” she said.

ment by maintaining a 65.5% proficiency rate. The state
proficiency rate dropped seven points to 42.4% of stu-
dents scoring a 4 or 5.
The exams, which utilize materials developed by the
Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College
and Career (PARCC), are considerably more rigorous
than the Maryland School Assessment tests they re-
placed in 2015, and they are designed to provide stu-
dents, parents, and teachers with a better idea regarding
progress toward graduation and workforce readiness.
The Maryland assessments are scored on a 650 to
850-point scale, which has been translated and simpli-
fied into five performance levels, with level 1 set as not
meeting expectations and level 5 set as exceeding ex-
pectations. Performance level 4 or 5 is considered ‘pro-
ficient’ on the assessment by the Maryland State Board
of Education.
Scores on the assessments are being used for school
system and school-level accountability purposes for the
first time this year, as part of Maryland’s Every Student
Succeeds Act (ESSA) plan. ESSA’s school accountabil-
ity plan will look at academic achievement and prog-
ress through performance on State assessments. Sever-
al other academic and non-academic indicators will be
folded into the State Report Card’s school score, which
will be released later this year.
Press Release from CCPS
St. Mary’s Ranked 28th
Liberal Arts College
For the past thirteen years, Washington Monthly
College Guide has ranked colleges “not based on
what colleges do for themselves, but on what they
do for their country.” In the rankings released to-
day, St. Mary’s College of Maryland is ranked 28
among the top 30 Liberal Arts Colleges in the Unit-
ed States.
The ranking was established to recognize “smart,
well-run colleges that enrolled students from all
walks of life and helped them earn a high-quali-
ty diploma at an affordable price. Colleges that
instilled a sense of service and public obligation
while producing groundbreaking research.”
Washington Monthly rates schools on three
equally weighted criteria: social mobility, research,
and public service. “Instead of rewarding schools
that reject 95 percent of applicants, we give high
marks to colleges that enroll lots of low-income
students and help them graduate and earn a good
living without too much debt. We factor in pure re-
search spending and the number of undergraduates
who go on to earn PhDs. And we give extra weight
to colleges that send their graduates out into the
world to serve the community at large.”
St. Mary’s College is ranked #1 in Peace Corps
Volunteers among small colleges, #6 among the Top
50 Green Colleges and listed among Best 384 Col-
leges by the Princeton Review, included in the 2019
Fiske Guide to Colleges, recognized as a 2018-19
College of Distinction, and ranked among the Best
Colleges of Maryland by Schools.com. 
St. Mary’s College of Maryland is accredited by
the Middle States Commission on Higher Educa-
tion through 2024-2025. St. Mary’s 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. News & World Report. Approxi-
mately 1,600 students attend the college, nestled on
the St. Mary’s River in Southern Maryland.

 What To Do When a
18 The Calvert County Times Thursday, September 13, 2018

Project Stalls
Upon embarking on a home improvement project,
homeowners who have never before lived through such
undertakings are often told to expect their projects to
take more time than initial estimates suggested. Unfore-
seen complications can compromise project timelines,
and some homeowners may find their projects stuck in
neutral.
Stalled projects can make life at home difficult, and
homeowners may feel helpless with regard to getting a
project back on course. But there are ways for homeown-
ers to get stalled projects back on course.
• Start off on solid financial footing. It’s important that
homeowners who want to upgrade their homes enter
the home improvement process with a realistic grasp of
their finances. Many home improvement projects stall
when homeowners run out of money. Homeowners can
avoid such unfortunate situations by only beginning a
project they know they can afford. Whether funding
a project with a loan or savings or a combination of
both, homeowners should make an honest assessment
of what they can afford to commit to a given project. If
the amount of money available does not add up to the
estimated cost of the project, delay the project now or
you might be facing a stalled project down the road.
• Honestly assess whether or not you can finish the job.
Do-it-yourselfers may have the abilities to complete a
project, but they should not let their pride get in the
way of their ultimate goal, which is the completion of
the project. In addition to money, time or lack thereof,
is often the culprit behind stalled projects. Homeown-
ers with full-time jobs, families or both may not be able
to find the time to complete a job in a timely fashion.
If the project has been stuck in neutral and no sudden
windfall of free time is on the horizon, start contacting
contractors to finish the job for you.
• Ask for help. There’s no shame in asking for help to
complete a project. Some homeowners may underes-
timate the scope of a project until it’s too late. Ask-
ing family, friends or neighbors for help might be the
only way to get a stalled project back on track. Certain
home improvement projects may not require advanced
skills, and even friends or family with little or no home
improvement experience can pitch in to complete such
projects. When more advanced projects stall, home- need to reapply for permits if projects go unfinished

• Be mindful of permits. Some home improvement proj-

piration dates. Homeowners must keep permits in mind

 7 Uses for Fallen Leaves
20 The Calvert County Times Thursday, September 13, 2018

By the time autumn hits full swing,
many trees will have shed their leaves for
the season, and the last vestiges of red,
yellow and orange magic will have faded
to brown. Raking, blowing and collect-
ing leaves becomes the primary chores
of lawn and yard maintenance, and pres-
ents most homeowners with large piles
of gathered leaves to tend to.
It is impossible to count just how many
leaves fall to the ground each year, or
just how many pounds of leaves get col-
lected curbside, but the numbers are
substantial. Cleaning up leaves is consid-
erable work, but not all of those leaves
need to be carted away. In fact, there are
several different uses of leaves that can
be beneficial.
1. Spread leaves as a protective mulch to
cover tender perennials or root crops/
bulbs in the ground. The leaves will
form a natural insulating cover that
keeps the soil and the plants within a
bit warmer over winter.
2. Create a pile of leaves that will break
down and form a crumbly, com-
post-like material called leaf mold.
Even though leaf mold may sound like
a blight, it’s actually a good amend-
ment to garden soil, improving its
structure and ability to hold water.
Leaf mold also attracts beneficial or-
ganisms that are vital in healthy soil.
3. Brown leaves can be added to green
materials in compost piles to im-
prove the health of the compost be-
ing formed. According to the healthy
living resource Care2, the ideal ratio is
75 percent brown to 25 percent green
materials in compost. Turn compost
piles regularly to aerate them.
4. Store dried, mulched leaves in a dry
spot so they can be used in the spring
as a weed barrier for spring plantings.
They will keep weeds at bay and help
retain soil moisture to ensure small
sprouts have the resources to grow.
5. Use shredded leaves as a lawn supple-
ment. Pass a lawn mower over leaves
left on the lawn to break them down
into pieces too small to rake. This will
help keep the lawn healthy through-
out the winter without blocking out
needed sunlight.
6. Bag dried leaves and pack them tight-
ly together in cold areas of the home,
such as basements or garages. They
can act as added insulation. Bags
of leaves also can be placed around
planting containers to protect them
from frost.
7. Gather a few of the best-looking
leaves and preserve them. Use an iron
on a low setting and press leaves be-
tween two pieces of waxed paper un-
til the waxed paper seals together. Or
use clear contact paper to achieve the
same effect.
Fallen leaves can be used in many dif-
ferent ways throughout the year.

Staining Wood

Repairs & Installation

Keyless Entry • Broken Springs • Panel Replacement

Service on All Makes & Models

Staining wood can transform the look of everything from

fencing to decking. While wood can be beautiful in its nat-
ural state, staining can protect the wood and complement
landscaping and other home design elements.
Staining can seem like a simple project, and that is often
true. However, certain woods, such as pine, cherry, maple,
and birch, can be difficult to stain. Boards with attractive
grain patterns also can absorb stain differently, resulting in
blotching and uneven tone.
Commerical & Residential
Before beginning a staining project, it is important for
homeowners to test the stain chosen on a sample piece of 841 Keith Lane • Owings, Maryland
wood to see how the color and absorption turn out. This
gives homeowners the chance to understand what they’re
dealing with and time to make any necessary accommoda-
tions to achieve a more even look.
Begin by gathering the necessary supplies. A pair of latex
or vinyl gloves will protect your hands. Drop cloths will catch
any drips or spills. Safety goggles and a dust mask provide
protection if sanding is required prior to staining. If sanding
is necessary, homeowners will need an orbital sander, hand
sander and sandpaper. Start with the coarsest grit sandpa-
per and move to a higher grit for a smooth finish. Wood that
is covered in paint may need to be stripped prior to sanding.
Follow the directions carefully when using chemical strip-

What To Do After Incurring Storm Damage
Thursday, September 13, 2018
The 2017 hurricane season proved es-
pecially devastating for millions of peo-
ple in both Texas and Florida. Upon
making landfall in Texas in late August,
Hurricane Harvey became the first Cate-
gory 3 or higher hurricane in the United
States since Hurricane Wilma in 2005. In
its wake, Harvey left damage that Texas
governor Greg Abbott estimated could
cost as much as $180 billion to repair.
Just a couple of weeks after Hurricane
Harvey touched down, Hurricane Irma
hit Florida as a Category 4 storm, knock-
ing out power to nearly seven million
people.
Severe storms like hurricanes do not
discriminate, and when such storms fi-
nally dissipate, people from all walks of
life are left to deal with the often dev-
astating consequences. Property dam-
age is one such consequence, and the
following are some things people can do
in the aftermath of storms that caused
damage to their property.
• Contact your insurance provider. Not
all damage resulting from storms will
necessarily be covered by insurance
policies, but it’s still imperative that
people contact their insurance com-
panies as soon as possible after their
homes or vehicles have been dam-
aged. Agents can help policy holders
learn if their policies cover the dam-

age done to their property and to
what extent their coverage will help
them recover. Many people will likely
be making similar calls, so policy hold-
ers should try to be as patient as pos-

• Document the damage. People whose
property has been damaged should
use their smartphones and cameras to
document the damage as extensively
as possible. Take photos from various
angles before you begin cleaning up.

Homeowners often aspire to have attractive backyards that
look like they belong in a magazine. While these can be pic-
turesque and functional for adults, they may not be entirely
practical for homeowners who have young children, especially
when the majority of the yard is covered with paving stones
or concrete.
When young children are part of a household, homeowners
may benefit by designing yards that are both functional and
fun. Incorporating safe play areas for kids is one way to unlock
the potential of both big and small backyards.
As children run off to enjoy a playground, safety is the last
thing on their minds. Kids are most interested in scaling lad-
ders to treehouses or coasting down slides. That’s why adults
must take it upon themselves to keep injury prevention in
mind.
SafestPlayground.com indicates that playground-related
injuries routinely result in severe fractures, internal injuries,
concussions, and dislocations. In the majority of playground
injuries to children younger than age 5, the head and face are
affected. Children between the ages of 5 and 9 experience
more leg and arm injuries than younger kids. The Consumer
Product Safety Commission states 70 percent of children’s in-
juries occur on home playgrounds.
When considering playground equipment for the yard, par-
ents need to make safety a priority. Follow the “5 S’s of Play-
ground Safety”: Surface, structures, site, supervision, and safe-
ty.
• Surface: Parents should assume that children will fall. To
lessen the blow of falls, choose playground equipment with
a perimeter of six feet of a softer surface, such as sand, pea
gravel, rubber pieces or wood chips. This material should be
between six and 12 inches deep.
• Structure: The structure of the play equipment should be
built from sturdy materials. Pressure-treated lumber was
once the standard, but it’s not adviseable for kids’ play-
grounds, as the chemicals used in the lumber can leach and
young children may actually bite or pick at the wood. Use
cedar or another wood that resists decay. Once the struc-
ture is built, inspect it frequently for damage.
• Site: Look around the landscape for an ideal place to locate
the playset. There should be no obstacles that children can
hit while sliding or swinging. Avoid overhanging branches
and do not place equipment too close to trees or fencing.
Try to keep the set out of direct sunlight, which can make
components heat up and scald young bodies.
• Supervision: Do not leave children alone while they are play-
ing. Prevent children from using the playset in an incorrect
manner.
• Safety: Follow the directions for installation. Make sure all
posts are anchored into the ground securely. Railings should
be spaced so that children cannot get stuck between them.
Check that metal components have not rusted and that
there is no additional excessive wear. Be sure that no tools
or other dangerous items are left around the yard.
Backyard playgrounds should be built with safety in mind.
Learn the rules of play equipment and yard safety.
4 Simple Ways to Trim
Thursday, September 13, 2018 The Calvert County Times 25

Your Energy Bill this Winter

The cost of home ownership can be
considerable. One of the expenses that
hits first-time homeowners the hardest
upon moving into their new homes is
the monthly energy bill. While utility bills
for apartment dwellers rarely break the
bank, those bills grow considerably when
men and women are suddenly lighting,
heating and cooling an entire house.
Come winter, utility bills can be espe-
cially harsh on homeowners’ budgets.
But there are some simple ways to trim
utility bills no matter how low the mercu-
ry dips in the coming months.
1. Embrace technology.
Technology can help homeowners con-
trol energy costs in various ways. A pro-
grammable thermostat allows men and
women to determine when their homes’
thermostats turn on so they are not pay-
ing to heat an empty home. In addition
to programmable thermostats, home-
owners can purchase real-time electric-
ity monitors that allow them to track
usage and monitor individual rooms and
circuits so they can determine where in
their homes, if anywhere, they are need-
lessly wasting energy. In lieu of a porch
light you need to leave on all night, in-
stall motion-detecting lights so you ar-
en’t paying to light porches and walk-
ways that are not being used.
2. Inspect windows and doors.
Windows and doors are often to blame
when energy bills start to skyrocket. As
homes age, cracks can develop around
windows and doors, allowing precious
and expensive heat to escape. Caulk
around any windows that have cracks
(you may feel a draft around such win-
dows) and replace ineffective weath-
erstripping around doors, which is no-
ticeable if light is visible around doors’
edges.
3. Cover the water heater.
Water heaters can quickly lose heat,
and that can contribute to higher heat-
ing bills as winter temperatures plunge.
Water heater blankets are an inexpen-
sive yet effective investment, as they can
help water heaters retain heat longer,
producing lower heating bills as a result.
4. Lower the water heater temperature.
Speaking of water heaters, changing
their temperature is another simple way
to lower utility costs during the winter.
According to Energy.gov, homeowners
can save between $12 and $30 for each
10° F reduction in water heater tem-
perature. Many manufacturers set water
heaters at 140° F, but setting the heater
to 120° F can lead to considerable cost
savings without sacrificing comfort. An
added and cost-effective benefit to low-
ering water heater temperature is that a
lower temperature slows mineral build-
up and corrosion in water heaters and
pipes, reducing the likelihood of costly
repairs while extending the life of the
water heater.
Winter temperatures can be harsh on
homeowners and their wallets. But there
are many ways for homeowners to re-
duce their energy bills no matter how
cold it may get this winter.

CSM at 60: Celebrating
Community Learning
By Dick Myers and Guy Leonard
Staff Writers
Start baking the cake and make it big because it’ll
need to hold a lot of candles. Sixty as a matter of fact.
The College of Southern Maryland (CSM) is prepar-
ing to celebrate its 60th birthday.
“I think this institution has had a profound influ-
ence on the community,” CSM President Dr. Maureen
Murphy said. Just think back to Southern Maryland
60 years ago, she noted. There was no place for lo-
cal students to go to college. They had to travel else-
where, or a more likely scenario – not be able to go
to college at all. She said local young people, unlike
other areas of the country, tend to want to stay here.
Community colleges, such as CSM, are consid-
ered to be low-cost, local higher education options
for much of the country. It is also there for adults
returning to school to complete their education or
for job training. Maryland Governor Larry Hogan
toured CSM’s newest building and campus, the Re-
gional Hughesville Campus, on Sept 6. That building
is called The Center for Trades and Energy Training.
“We have put record funding into community col-
leges and we are helping to drive more of our work-
force development training into our community col-
leges,” the governor said. “In the past we were just
cranking out a lot of people with degrees but they
couldn’t get jobs. There are a lot of jobs out there but
they just didn’t have the skills. I think a lot of people
are redirecting not just their first two years in college
but let’s put them to work and get a certificate for the
job skills they need.”
Governor Hogan told The County Times during
his Hughesville visit, “I’ve been hearing about all of
the incredible things that are going on here. We’ve
invested quite a lot of money in the College of South-
ern Maryland and this particular campus,” He added,
The Calvert County Times
“I just wanted to meet everyone involved and thank
them for the great work they are doing. Job training
and giving them the skills to get jobs is one of the
priorities of our administration.”
Job training is just one of the missions of the col-
lege. It’s also a chance for just-graduating high
schoolers for an affordable start to their higher edu-
cation and space to find their niche. Murphy said the
college is committed to providing career guidance.
Dr. Murphy is the institution’s fifth president in its
60 years, a testament to the college’s stability in a pe-
riod of sometimes rapid growth and expansion from
its humble 1958 beginning in a classroom at La Plata
High School.
“I feel like I’ve died and gone to heaven,” said Dr.
Murphy about her first year at the helm of the college.
And she quickly observed the college’s impact on the
community “Everybody I see has a direct experience
in their family.”
“The community really values the college”
Community support comes from public officials,
who understand “It’s their community college.” And
it also comes from business and industry, shown ev-
ery day at the new Hughesville campus.
Sixty-two percent of CSM’s students are part-time,
because many are working during the day. She said
just show up at the St. Mary’s campus at 5 p.m. and
try to find a parking space to see exactly what that
means to the communities they serve.
Enrollment is still trending flat. Murphy said that
community colleges act in inverse to the economy.
When it’s in good shape as it is in Southern Mary-
land, people are in jobs and some can’t find the time
for school. Others, of course, help swell their ranks
of part-timers.
“We have to adapt to the strong environment,” the
president said. “We are committed to affordability,”
she added.

“I tried to get everybody on-line,” Siciliano said. “I

All of the innovation and advancement he helped
to bring to the college was designed to take it beyond
what most people thought of the community college
experience.
Before it was CSM it was known as Charles County
Community College; it had the nickname of “Chuck
U.”
“It was my desire to do something different, some-
thing better,” Siciliano said. “I hope students have
come to realize that the promise of this college is
very positive.
“They’ve come to realize this is a premier institu-
tion not just a second choice.”
The formation of the local campuses meant a lot to
prospective students living there Ricardo Terez who
while a student at Patuxent High School took Acad-
emy of Finance courses at the Community College at
Calvert County in an old school building on Broomes
Island Road. “It was pretty beat up,” he said.
Terez went on to Johnson and Wales College in
Providence, RI to major in Events Management. Af-
ter graduation he was working at the college when
he was in a serious car accident and came home to
Calvert County to recuperate. While here he got a job
at the new CSM Prince Frederick campus as Student
Life Coordinator.
“It’s been fantastic,” Terez said of his 12 years at
the college. “The best part of the job is working with
the students.” In that capacity he will be assisting in
setting up the campus 60th birthday celebration.

An all-star down-home acoustic trio consisting of
guitar and vocals by Eleanor Ellis, blues harmonica
by Jay Summerour, and the percussion talents of Eric

Maryland State Arts Council Maryland Touring Grant.
Tickets are $20 online, $25 at the door.
Friday, September 28 - BUA
BUA is presented by the Celtic Society of Southern
Maryland, Inc. With a precision and intensity that is
rarely heard on this side of the Atlantic, their sound
stands out among modern bands in the genre by keep-
ing the music down the path of tradition while still be-
ing able to raise the rafters with their playing, charm
with their singing, and delight with their contemporary
energy. Based in Chicago, Illinois—a long-celebrated
center of Irish traditional music—BUA has established
itself individually and as a group in the eyes and ears
of the traditional community. This performance is
sponsored in part by the Ruddy Duck Brewery & Grill.
Tickets are $30 at the door with advance purchase dis-
counts available online at www.cssm.org/tickets. Per-
formance starts at 7:30 p.m.

taught in England, Scotland, Japan, Canada, and across
the United States. Patsy O’Brien joins him on vocals
and guitar. Hensold is an award-winning artist boasting
four critically-acclaimed solo albums. He hosts guitar
workshops all over the country. This performance is
sponsored in part by the Ruddy Duck Brewery & Grill.
Tickets are $20 online at www.cssm.org/tickets and
$25 at the door.
Friday, October 19 – LOW LILY
This string and vocal trio explores the roots and
branches of American folk music with traditional in-
fluences and modern inspiration that weaves together a
unique brand of acoustic music. Liz Simmons (vocals
and guitar), Flynn Cohen (vocals, guitar, and mando-
lin), and Lissa Schneckenburger (vocals and fiddle) are
masterful players with deep relationships to traditional
music styles ranging from bluegrass, to Irish, Scot-
tish, New England, and Old Time Appalachian sounds.
Combine this with stellar composition skills and inven-
tive arrangements, and get music that is rooted yet con-
temporary. Tickets are $20 online, $25 at the door.
Friday, November 16 – HONEY DEWDROPS
Laura Wortman and Kagey Parrish are known for
their tight harmonies and instrumental accompani-
ment that includes clawhammer banjo, mandolin, and
guitars.  After leaving their home base of Virginia and
living on the road for two years, Laura and Kagey now
call Baltimore home and it’s where they wrote and re-
corded their fourth full-length album, Tangled Country,
released May 2015.  This performance is sponsored in

ing Grant. Tickets are $15 online, $20 at the door.

new wineries to thousands of attendees every year.”
