The Calvert County Times Endorsements

No Reason for Change
Every candidate who has ever run for
public office has said at one time or an-
other during their campaign: “This is
the most important election ever for (in-
sert office or locality).” Those seeking
reelection might vary it to say it’s their
most important election ever .
All clichés aside, this is indeed a very
important election for Calvert County.
The general election of Nov. 6, that be-
gins today with early voting, is highly
likely to place Larry Hogan in the gov-
ernor’s chair for another four years. As
a matter of fact, we pause right here to
wholeheartedly endorse Gov. Hogan,
whose centrist leadership has uniquely
positioned him for significant bipartisan
support.
The other significant fact of Hogan’s
likely reelection is that under Maryland
law he will be term-limited. Since Mary-
land is still overwhelmingly Democratic,
there is a better than average chance that
the new governor in four years will be a
Democrat. That fact will raise a boo or
a cheer depending on what party one is
in, but it does mean that what has been
left undone over the last four years needs
to be accomplished during the next four
years, if you believe in what Hogan has
been doing, as we do.
The most pressing needs for Southern
Maryland are our infrastructure gaps,
most notably roads and bridges. And
the Big Kahuna of them all is the re-
placement of the Gov. Thomas Johnson
Bridge and completion of the road net-
work on either side. Calvert County has
the additional needs for completion of
Routes 2/4 in Prince Frederick and im-
provements of both roads through Cal-

to be elected because they have the ear
of Gov. Hogan, perhaps the key player
in the area’s infrastructure battle. Fisher
especially appears poised to take a lead-
ership role in those struggles.
While the voters should reelect the
four legislators, it should also be a clear
message to them that they will not toler-
ate a lack of success on the infrastruc-
ture needs if they are unmet four years
from now.
We also endorse Republican Jack
Bailey for the District 29 Senate seat. He
is clearly the best candidate, and since
he is endorsed by Hogan, hopefully he
can use his influence with the governor
For Commissioner District 2 to re-
place the popular Pat Nutter, there are
two extremely qualified candidates and
we wish they weren’t running against
each other. But our choice is Thomas
“Tim” Hutchins over Susie Hance-
Wells. We like Hutchins’ vision for a job
center and tech park in northern Calvert.
He recognizes the need for more jobs to
keep our young people here. Hutchins
has an extremely impressive resume of
service.
For 3rd Commissioner District, our
choice is Democrat Holly Budd. We
believe the board needs a woman’s per-
spective and additionally she brings a
some strong points about diversity and
manpower needs, and his opinions
should be taken to heart. But we at this
point see no reason for the voters of Cal-
vert County not to return Mike Evans
to another four-year term. His dedication
to his county and his office are without
reproach.
Register of Wills
There has probably never been a more
dedicated, yet humble public servant in
Calvert County’s history than Marga-
ret Phipps. She has been a leader in the
state in bringing the Register of Wills of-
fices into the 21st Century, even though
she herself has been in the office for 40
years. Unquestionably she should be re-
turned to office. Her opponent Republi-
can Mark Lynch is also highly qualified,
but he should wait his turn and run again
in four years.
U.S. House of Representatives
Bringing home the bacon has been
the theme of these endorsements so far.
Steny Hoyer has been doing that for de-
cades, including much of what we see
at the Patuxent River Naval Air Station.
He should be reelected. We hope he will
continue that history of success by help-
ing state and local officials bring home
federal funding for the Gov. Thomas
Johnson Bridge.

to advocate for the region’s needs.
Fisher’s opponent, attorney Jason
Fowler, has run a good campaign and
appears to be a bright light for the local
Democratic Party.
County Commissioner Races
Since the commissioner board will
have a majority of new members, we feel
it can be made its most optimal by re-
turning the two incumbents, Mike Hart
(District 1) and Steve Weems (At-Large).
Hart has grown tremendously in the job
he admittedly was clueless about four
year ago and deserves a second term.
Weems is seeking his third term and as
such, should assume the leadership role
on the board. But, he at times has been
frustratingly uninterested in assuming
that role, instead seeming to want to wait
to see how everyone else votes. He needs
to step up in the next four years.

her challenger Kelly McConkey has not
been effective on the school board other
than recently with the school security
issue. His answer during The County
Times candidate’s interview that he has
not spoken up much during meetings be-
cause most everything is discussed be-
forehand in closed session is disturbing
to us.
For the second At-Large seat, we en-
dorse Earl “Buddy” Hance, who also
has an impressive resume of service
locally and on the state level as Secre-
tary of Agriculture. He has a thorough
knowledge of the issues and we feel he

North Beach Deal Falls Through

The Calvert County Times
Chesapeake Beach are going back into
the boxing ring after all. It appeared
months ago that North Beach had won
out over Chesapeake Beach for the right
to be the new home of the Twin Beaches
Library. The Calvert County Board of
Library Trustees had selected North
Beach’s proposal, after several furtive
starts and stops in the process.
But the negotiations for the town’s pre-
ferred property, at Chesapeake Avenue
and 3rd Street fell through. “We thought
we had a deal to purchase the property,”
Mayor Mark Frazer told The County
Tines. He said the town wouldn’t have
submitted the proposal if they thought it
wouldn’t pan out.
But, Frazer said negotiations with
developer Ron Russo fell through. The
town is thus submitting another pro-
posal for the location of their first sub-
mission, the town-owned property that
is now used as a parking lot. It is across
the street from the town’s boardwalk and
pier.

or Pat Mahoney has consistently felt his
town’s proposal was superior. He said he
isn’t going to say what they are going to
submit other than to say it might be mod-
ified from their earlier plan. Mahoney
points out the town’s history of financial
support for the existing library, which is
now in town.
The new deadline for submissions is
Oct. 31, according to a press release from
the Library Board of Trustees. That re-
lease said, “To date, no action has been
taken nor funds expended in anticipation
of the land transfer.”
Library Director Carrie Plymire told
the two towns, “The BOLT [Board of
Library Trustees] has added a prefer-
ence for non-contingent offers and we’ve
asked for proposals by October 31 in or-
der to keep the process moving and to

Planners Approve Lusby Shooting Range

By Dick Myers formed the planning staff that they do Vote
Thomas E. “Tim”
Editor have periodic inspections of the line.

The Calvert County Planning Com-
mission has approved a firearm’s train-
ing facility at the Appeal Landfill in
Lusby. The facility has been in the plan-
ning stages for four years, according to
Director of Planning Mark Willis.
The range will be located at 401
Sweetwater Road in Lusby on a 202.98
acre parcel, zoned Rural Conservation
District (RCD.) A 1,152-square-foot
storage structure is proposed there.
The county’s zoning ordinance re-
quires such facilities be at least 500 feet
from neighboring property lines, but it is
less than that at the northern boundary.
In answer to concerns from commis-
sion member John Toohey, the planners
were told that adjacent land is now also
owned by the county. It is the location
of the proposed park on land donated by
Dominion.
That park property will have a fence
along its perimeter at least 750 feet from
the range and no access through it.
There is also a Southern Maryland
Electric Cooperative transmission line
through the property and the co-op in-

So, the planners were told those visits
will be coordinated with any firing, and
if there is firing going on a flag will be
raised at the gate as a warning for SME-

According to the staff report presented
to the planning commission, “The Na-
tional Rifle Association (NRA) Range CALVERT COMMISSIONER
Department conducted a site evaluation.
The NRA range evaluation is not a re- DISTRICT 2
quirement but provides suggestions for
increasing the safety of operating firing
ranges. Most of the suggestions in the
evaluation have been implemented to
the extent possible. The Calvert County
Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) has implement-
ed a range operation and safety manual,
that is given to every officer who trains
on the firing range. The CCSO also
maintains a Range Master and Certified

sees hours of operation for officer train-
ing and certification.”

Regulators Deny Exelon’s Violation Appeal

By Dick Myers
Editor
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Com-
mission (NRC) has denied the appeal of
Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant op-
erator Exelon’s challenge of a violation
notice. The violation, called a “Non-Cit-
ed Violation (NCV)” involved “a failure
by plant personnel to conduct surveys,
or checks, of radiation levels in a reac-
tor coolant pump bay area,” according to
NRC spokesman Neil Sheehan.
The NRC states in their response to
Exelon’s challenge, “The NRC consid-
ered Exelon’s position that requiring the
performance of surveys to verify that
as-built design features are maintained
would set a costly new precedence re-
sulting in licensees performing addition-
al unnecessary radiation surveys. It is
the NRC’s position, as clarified in the en-
closure to this letter, that when highly ra-
dioactive sources such as the withdrawn

Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant

in-core instrumentation are moved and
stored in a new plant location, it is rea-
sonable under such circumstances to ap-
propriately evaluate the radiological im-
pact of the proposed activity and take ac-
tions, as necessary, commensurate with
the potential risk to workers.”
According to Sheehan: “In February,
during a refueling and maintenance out-
age at the Calvert Cliffs 1 Nuclear Pow-
er Plant, plant personnel used a differ-
ent method of storing in-core detectors.
These detectors use a small probe that is
connected to a flexible drive cable and
are periodically moved in and out of the
reactor vessel to measure power levels.
Because the detectors travel among the
nuclear fuel rods in the reactor vessel,
they become radioactive.”
The NRC’s quarterly inspection re-
port for Calvert Cliffs issued in May
contained an NCV for Calvert Cliffs.
Exelon disputed the NCV. Sheehan said,
“The company argued that given the
thickness of the wall and the radiation
shielding it provides, plant personnel had
no reason to expect the high radiation
levels that were detected in that area.”
The NRC disagreed and issued the
finding on Oct. 9 in a letter to Exelon
Generation Company Senior VP Bryan
Hanson.

Beach Woman Competes in Oyster Cook-Off
Tammy Davis of Chesapeake Beach shows
off her entry, Oyster Trio, during the National
Oyster Cook-Off at the U.S. Oyster Festival.
By Dick Myers
Editor
Tammy Davis of Chesapeake Beach
traveled all over the world as a member
of our country’s foreign service. It gave
her an opportunity to sample a wide
variety of the world’s cuisines. In New
York she enjoyed some of the country’s
finest restaurants. But, her foray into
Micronesia gave her a chance to sample
some really interesting seafood.
In Micronesia she said the folks tend
to cook their seafood rather blandly. So,
she learned to spice it up when she did
her own cooking, a habit that has en-
dured with some success back home in
the U.S. and here in Southern Maryland.

Renowned Aircraft Artist Hank Caruso:
‘The Caricaturist of Naval Air’
By Dave Spigler
Contributing Writer
Southern Maryland is rich and fortu-
nate to have so many interesting person-
alities and talented residents who make
their homes here. They come from every
walk of life, their backgrounds are var-
ied, and they bring unique abilities and
special skills that are original and “one
of a kind.” Like our native citizens, they
found good reasons to settle in our part of
the world and pursue their work, enjoying
the quality of life that Southern Maryland
affords us.
St. Mary’s County resident Hank Ca-
ruso has achieved a nationally-known
reputation for developing an artistic style
that uniquely illustrates, older as well as
current, aircraft flown by Navy, Marine,
Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, and Na-
tional Guard aviators. A congenial, well-
liked individual, Hank has practiced his
trade for more than 35 years. His artwork
has endeared him to generations of air-
men and made him a favorite speaker and
a popular guest within all of the military
services.
Very often, his framed illustrations are
highly-sought gifts that are presented at
commissioning, retirement, and change
of command ceremonies. These ubiqui-
tous works of art can be found in offices
of the most senior military leaders at
the Pentagon to small aviation museums
scattered across the country. His illustra-
tions often appear on the covers of avia-
tion magazines of every type. And, his
many colorful calendars with a different
aircraft each month are anxiously awaited
each year and have won awards from the
Calendar Marketing Association for Best
Cartoon Art and Most Original Calendar.
To this day, Hank remains thoroughly
immersed in producing new works as
newer versions of aircraft are developed
and put on the military flight lines. Liv-
ing in close proximity to the Navy’s pri-
mary Aircraft Test and Evaluation facility
at Patuxent River has provided Hank with
great opportunities to see the latest air-
borne weapons systems as they become
a reality in our Nation’s arsenal. He has
flown in these aircraft to gain first-hand
knowledge of their capabilities. Howev-
er, like the aviators he flies with, he has
had to pass a battery of physical tests and
physiology training before suiting up and
riding in the back seat of the most sophis-
ticated jet airplanes, propeller, and rotary
wing aircraft.
Among his greatest thrills and experi-
ences were the times he was allowed to
fly with the famous military flight dem-
onstration team, the Navy’s Blue Angels.
He has also flown with the instructors at
“Topgun” and at Pax River’s U.S. Naval
Test Pilot School, rare opportunities very
few civilians have been permitted to strap
in and learn what pulling 7 “Gs” is all
about!
“Been there, done that” made it pos-
sible for Hank “to understand the real
The Calvert County Times
experience of flying and of the special
pilot-aircraft relationship in a way that a
ground-based artist never could.”
For his years of dedication and pro-
motion of naval aviation, Hank was hon-
ored with the distinction of being named
“Honorary Naval Aviator #27” by the
Chief of Naval Operations in 2006, one
of only three artists to have this special
recognition bestowed upon them.
Importantly, Hank is an experienced
aerospace engineer with a degree in me-
chanical engineering from Cornell Uni-
versity. He clearly understands the inter-
nal structural construction of an aircraft.
He is acutely aware of the many dynamic
forces acting on the exterior surfaces of
wings and tails and the effect pressure,
thrust, and gravity have on an aircraft’s
ability to lift, turn and roll.
A very respected professional in the
engineering community, he has published
more than 75 technical papers and previ-
ously served as national President of the
Institute of Environmental Sciences and
Technology (IEST). This knowledge pro-
vides him with a totally unique ability,
when coupled with his broad imagina-
tion, to “personalize” an airplane as only
he can!
Hank’s popularity keeps him busy
and he often has so little time to stay in
contact with his thousands of fans. His
works are in constant demand by military
squadrons, government agencies, aviation
companies, and airplane buffs throughout
the world. He has been commissioned to
prepare original illustrations for NASA,
Astronauts Neil Armstrong and Burt Ru-
tan, Senator and Astronaut John Glenn,
Marine Corps Aviation Association, and
the Tailhook Association to mention just
a few.
Caruso recently was invited this month
to the Annual Navy Ball in Washington,
DC to celebrate the Navy’s 243th Birth-
day. This event kept him tied up for days.
He did find time to provide The County
Times an opportunity to briefly chat
about his interesting life experiences and
his many artistic accomplishments.
It is a small wonder Hank ever be-
came involved in aviation to begin with!
Born into a military family at Fort Ben-
ning, Georgia in 1945, he flew in his first
airplane, a DC-3 at the age of 4 months,
when his family was being transferred
to their new home in Connecticut. Evi-
dently, this new lad didn’t do well with
the bumpy ride and threw up all over his
dad’s uniform. He stated, “At a very early
age, flying and motion sickness became
inextricably intertwined in my life.”
Yet throughout his childhood, he be-
came intrigued by anything that flew in-
cluding birds and manmade objects. He
was thrilled to grow up during a period
following WWII when the brain trust
of our nation would transition our large
industrial base from our successful war
efforts to a real concerted focus for devel-
oping commercial aviation.
The development of new propulsion
systems, coupled with the creation of
stronger materials, allowed for aircraft to
attain greater speeds with expanded flight
characteristics and far reaching abilities
unheard of during our war years. The
public became intensely fascinated with
the new aviation technology and the grow-
ing popularity of black and white televi-
sion and movie houses featuring cinemas
involving airplanes flown by the biggest
Hollywood stars of the time helped fan
the growing excitement of flying!
The news media played a huge part in
furthering this new interest with glow-
ing stories of the rapid advancement of
newer systems. Magazines featured con-
tinual colorful photographs and beauti-
ful paintings by aviation artists. Plastic
airplane model kits became all the rage!
Air Shows drew record crowds of enthu-
siasts to greet the many aviators and see
their wonderful flying machines! It was a
good time to be a young lad growing up
in America!
Living in New England provided young
Hank with ample opportunities to visit
nearby air fields and military bases and
get up close and personal with airplanes
of every description. When other boys in
the fourth grade where collecting base-
ball cards packaged with a piece of bub-
blegum, Hank was feverishly reaching
out to fill his large collection of airplane
postcards with his meager allowance (he
refers to it as a “pittance”).
At an early age, he learned to use a
typewriter to type requests for aircraft
pictures and data; he figured a typed re-
quest would “look more official” and he
believed “important people always corre-
sponded with typed postcards” and would
reap greater rewards for his efforts or as
he says, “his aviation lust!”
Over the years, Hank amassed an
astonishing collection of pictures, pam-
phlets, and paintings and still has all of
this material to this day!
As a teenager, Hank developed a spe-
cial love for the U.S. Air Force and had
his eyes on a military career, but soon re-
alized he could never become a pilot due
to his need to wear glasses to correct his
visual acuity. He knew there are aircrew
positions other than the “front seater”
available to him such as a navigator, “but
if he couldn’t be the pilot, what was the
point?” And besides, navigation involved
lots of math. Although he was good at
math [remember he became an engineer],
he couldn’t see a career based on manipu-
lating numbers every day.
Hank went on to state, “As for the
Navy, it involved lots of very deep water
in which one could drown,” certainly not
the place he wanted to be.
The question that is invariably asked of
Hank in the many interviews and ques-
tion and answer sessions he provides fol-
lowing his talks is: “How do you get your
ideas?” He admits his answer is “not very
satisfying” and he obviously wishes he
could provide a more worthy answer. He
says it’s the way he sees things in his head
Feature 11
Hank Caruso
and knows no other way to put it.
Even as a kid, “I have always seen
faces on airplanes. No, not just faces,
personalities. Each airplane has its own
distinct personality.” Hank coined the
word “Aerocatures” to describe his most
novel and distinctive images in aviation
art. He has designed literally hundreds
of illustrations that he “carefully drafts
with special attention to detail to add a
strong sense of realism to his dynamic
portrayals of each aircraft’s unique per-
sonality.” It’s been said by admirers: “no
other aviation artist blends the technical
and emotional realities of aviation in such
an engaging fashion.” He has created his
own niche in the way airplanes and pilots
are portrayed.
A subset to his Aerocature genre is his
special love for drawing naval aircraft
of all types, purposes, and missions. His
fondness for naval aviation has taken him
across the country to many Navy and Ma-
rine Corps air stations and even aboard
eight of the Navy’s large aircraft carriers.
He has assembled a collection of illus-
trations of these aircraft in a book titled
“Seabirds” and it remains a very popular
publication.
In the book’s Foreword, Vice Admiral
Dick Dunleavey, one of the Navy’s senior
aviators, paid Hank one of the greatest
compliments he was to ever receive. He
states: “Hank Caruso captures that spirit,
that moment of truth, that in-your-face at-
titude that separates the warrior from all
others. From his fertile mind and through
his sharp pen, Hank gives the aircraft and
carriers he draws the emotions Naval
Aviators experience as they live carrier
aviation…Hank captures it all!”
Hank’s works are on display at the Pax-
tuxent River Naval Air Museum next to
the Naval Air Station in Lexington Park.
They may be purchased in the museum
hift shop. They make wonderful gifts and
are always in demand by aviation enthu-
siasts and others who wish to own a piece
of history. And his drawings would be a
perfect gift for a loved one whether they
are a grown veteran or a young person
full of fascination and wonderment of fly-
ing. Hint: Christmas is coming!
