The Time(s) Is Now

The Calvert Gazette is not going away! The Calvert County Times, with many new features and many
exciting new services for our readers will be taking its
place on newsstands each week beginning with this edition. The Calvert Gazette will return as the hyper-local
product it was originally intended to be.
The County Times began publication in 2006
covering local news and community happenings in St.
Marys County. The publication has continued to grow
and evolve over the years and today has become the
most successful and largest read locally owned newspaper in St. Marys County.
In 2008, leveraging the success of its sister paper, The County Times, we
launched The Calvert Gazette. The Calvert Gazette was originally designed as a
hyper-local publication to serve neighborhoods and smaller communities. Therefore the original publication was called The Southern Calvert Gazette. Plans
called for the addition of several more Gazette publications throughout Calvert
County.
It was soon determined that in order to provide the best service for our
readers that these hyper-local publications needed to be extensions of a broader
county-wide publication. Therefore The Calvert Gazette soon began publishing
as a county-wide newspaper. Immediately The Calvert Gazette became the most
widely read locally owned newspaper serving Calvert County.
The success of both The County Times and The Calvert Gazette over the
years makes it possible to expand our coverage, update our products, and bring to
you, our readers and advertisers, many new and exciting services as we approach
2015.
As we begin to roll out our many new and exciting services in the fall of 2014
and into 2015, the first step is to reestablish the original concept for our various
publications. Our county-wide newspaper publications will be The County Times.
Weekly publications of The County Times will include The St. Marys County
Times and The Calvert County Times.
In the future, our hyper-local publications, The Gazette will be published
monthly, serving smaller communities in and around Southern Maryland. These
hyper-local publications will offer close insight into what is going on in local communities and municipalities where we live.
Exciting, thats how we describe the future for our readers. From this platform we will bring new and exciting coverage of local news, local events, and
community interest stories throughout Southern Maryland by way of traditional
as well as state of the art formats which we will be adopting. Our talented organization will be able to deliver the information you want and need on an up to the
minute basis, through products individualized for your local needs.
Welcome to The Calvert County Times, or as we say, The County Times.
We hope you have enjoyed The Calvert Gazette over the past few years and we
know you are going to love The County Times, especially when you see what is
Coming Soon!
Wishing good health and prosperity to all we serve,
Thomas F. McKay

Why do you go away?

So that you can come back. So that you can
see the place you come from with new eyes
and extra colors. And the people there see
you differently, too. Coming back to where
you started is not the same as never leaving.

Community Planning and

Building Undergoes Restructuring
By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
The Department of Community Planning and Building recently made some
changes to its internal organization.
The changes are meant to maximize
efficiency, according to Community Planning and Building Director Tom Barnett.
One change was grouping Jenni Bailey, who is in charge of making sure all
addresses are up to date and corrects addresses reported as incorrect or out of sequence by emergency services, Ray Alvey,
who works with GIS services and mapping,
under Land Use System Coordinator Dawn
Mister.
Bailey and Alvey were under different
supervisors, Barnett said, and it made more
sense to group them together because they
work closely together.
Long Range Planner Jenny PlummerWelker is now the supervisor of the countys long-range planners. Long range planning involves creating the vision for what
direction growth in the county will take
and anticipating needs more than five to 10
years in the future, Barnett said.
Barnett stressed that the reorganization was a way of cleaning house internally.
More like fine tuning, he said, adding that some of the reorganization is in
anticipation of the upcoming revisions to
the countys comprehensive plan and zoning ordinance. The comprehensive plan involves long range planning, going 20 years
out, and work on its revision will begin in
January 2015. The zoning ordinance revision will begin a couple months later. Both
documents will require between a year
and a half to two years to complete. This
time frame includes internal revisions and
meetings and public hearings to ensure the
Calvert County community has a say in the
future of the county.
According to www.co.cal.md.us the
Department of Community Planning and
Building coordinates planning activities
within Calvert County Government, including those of the Planning Commission,
the Board of Appeals and other boards and

commissions. The department consists of
four divisions: Planning and Development
Review, Zoning, Permitting and Citizen
Relations, Inspections & Permits, and
Appeals, Variances and Exceptions. The
department administers the zoning ordinance, subdivision regulations and the
building code. It provides information
and guidance to the community and to the
Board of County Commissioners concerning growth and development in Calvert
County.
The departments mission is to maintain or improve the quality of life for county residents by providing quality planning,
zoning and code enforcement services
to Calvert County at the direction of the
Board of County Commissioners.

to SMECO spokesperson Tom Dennison, the
company has taken corrective and disciplinary actions against the persons involved in

In the coming days, SMECO and the

the contractors need to take to make sure this
doesnt happen again, Dennison said.
According to Dennison, the project,
which began seven months ago, will be put on
hold until Sept. 4 in order to approve the new

Purple Coneflower

The Christmas in April work weekend

may be months away, but applications from
homeowners are being accepted now.
Christmas in April started in 1991.
Volunteer and coordinator Carolyn Mohler
started volunteering with the organization
in 1992.
The Christmas in April workday is always the last Saturday in April. The next
Christmas in April workday will be April
25, 2015. At least 25 homes are accepted as
projects, with more kept on a waiting list.
Typically there are enough volunteers to
work on 30 or more.
To be eligible, the homeowners need to
live in the home. Assistance is available to
low income homeowners so they can live in
warmth, safety and independence, Mohler
said.
Some homes are in such bad shape
that they need work immediately to make
them safe, Mohler said. Some volunteers are
available year-round to help with emergency

fixes.
In addition to home applications,
Christmas in April is accepting volunteers
and sponsors for the upcoming event. Volunteers dont have to have special skills,
Mohler said, they just need to be willing
to help. Between the workday in April and
other projects through the year, volunteers
donate 6,800 hours.
Christmas in April sponsors pay for
and supply building materials, paint, tools
and even the resources to supply lunch for
Christmas in April volunteers during the
workday.
Applications are due Sept. 30. They are
available on the Christmas in April website,
local senior centers, libraries, churches and
food pantries, among other locations.

Board of Directors
On May 17th, 2014 I accepted the nomination to represent St. Mary's County, once again, on
the Southern Maryland Electric Board of Directors.
I was first elected to the Board in 1996 and received the designation of "Certified Credentialed
Cooperative Director" in 1999.
During my tenure on the Board, I have served as Chairman of the Board Risk Oversight Committee, Chairman of the Personal and Benefits Committee, and Vice Chairman of the Board of
Directors. I was honored to be elected by my fellow Directors to serve as Chairman of the Board for
Southern Maryland Electric from September 2008 to August 2013.
On July 16, 2014 SMECO was notified that we had received the JD Power Award for customer
satisfaction for the 7th consecutive year. The award recognizes companies that are judged based
on "people, presentation, process, product, and price."
On July 23, 2014 SMECO received approval from the Maryland Public Service Commission to
reduce its residential Standard Offer Service energy charges.
SMECO has consistently maintained the highest electric service reliability record in Maryland.
I am committed to dedicating my time, expertise and skills to make sure SMECO remains a low
cost power provider, while maintaining a tradition of excellent service.
Please join us at our annual members meeting held on September 10, 2014 at the Blue Crabs

Since 2007, I have had the pleasure of working with another highly competent director, Mr.
Douglas Frederick. I respectfully ask the members from Charles, Calvert, Prince George, and St.
Mary's County to vote for Douglas and myself.
I look forward to seeing you at the "Annual Meeting".
If you are unable to attend you can, with your account number, request a mail-in ballot on the

Mathnasium: The Math Learning Center celebrated
its grand opening with a ribbon-cutting event Tuesday,
Aug. 26th in the Dunkirk Town Center.
Paul and Kama Friedman are the owners of
Mathnasium.
Kama received her Bachelor of Science degree in
Mathematics and left her career of twenty-three years in
search of something else.
Its a perfect fit if there ever was one of what I love
to do, said Kama. I love math, Ive always loved math,
she said.
Before Mathnasium, she volunteered tutoring family,
friends, and community members in math.
The franchise was at risk for not opening up in Cal-
vert County, but the Friedmans made their case to Mathnasium headquarters.
It has to be in Dunkirk and this is why: weve been
there for more than 20 years, theres a demandour heart
is here, everything is here, she said.
According to Kama, within 24 hours, the headquarters called them back approving their request for the
Dunkirk location.
He called us back and was super grateful we took the
time to know our county and to know the demand and to

40 Years Later...
Future historians, I am convinced, will note with

irony that, on the fortieth anniversary of President
Richard Nixons resignation, the newspaper most responsible for his downfall was passive and silent in
the face of the most serious crimes ever committed
against the American people.
In 1971, a peace-activist and Rand Corporation analyst named Daniel Ellsberg infuriated thenpresident Richard Nixon when he leaked papers to
the news media concerning Americas strategy in
Vietnam. The Nixon White House began looking for
anything it could use to discredit Ellsberg in the eyes
of a potential jury.
On June 17, 1971, Nixon crossed a line. In a conversation with White House aide H.R. Halderman,
he ordered a break in of the Brookings Institute, a
Washington think tank.
Although it wasnt common knowledge at the
time, the White House had quietly installed a taping
system to preserve conversations between Nixon and
his aides.
Exactly one year later, Frank Wills, a security
guard at the Watergate Hotel complex, noticed suspicious activity near the suite leased by the Democratic
National Committee. Wills notified District of Columbia police. Five intruders with burglar tools and
electronic surveillance devices were arrested at the
scene. Address books found on two of the burglars
Eugino Martinez and Howard Barker- linked them to
E. Howard Hunt, an ex-CIA officer who, in turn, was
linked to the White houses Chief Counsel.
Congressional investigators subpoenaed the
White House tapes. In piecemeal fashion, it was
learned that Nixon had vindictively used the IRS
to target his enemies and that the National Security
Agency had been eavesdropping on the South Vietnamese embassy from a nearby listening post with
his knowledge.
Faced with the near-certainty of impeachment,
President Richard Nixon became Private Citizen
Nixon at noon on August 9, 1974
For leaking information from Ellsbergs FBI file
to the press, Charles Colson served seven months in
federal prison. Three other administration officials
served 18 and 19 month sentences.
While the crimes of the Watergate Seven were
certainly serious, they pale in comparison to the
crimes of the Obama White House.
When viewed in a light most favorable to the

Obama administration, the IRS destroyed thousands
of e-mails evidence in an ongoing investigation
-and engaged in a months-long cover up of the crime.
Yet, the Post has never demanded an independent
counsel be assigned to investigate.
Until New York abolished capital punishment
in 1966, providing a felon with a weapon used in a
murder was a capital offense. Attorney General Eric
Holder Jr.s Fast and furious gun running scheme
provided drug cartels with the firepower used to murder 150 Mexican men, women and children and a
US Border Patrol Agent. Had the deaths occurred
in New York when the states amour law was still
on the books, Holder could have faced 151 sentences
of death in the electric chair. Yet, the Posts editorial
staff has yet to call for his impeachment.
The Washington Times reported in its June 24
edition that 1,000 military veterans had died of substandard or delayed care over a ten year period, most
of them under Obamas presidency. The Post reported the story as a column item on A-3.
Post readers would have no way of knowing that
Russian nuclear bombers had violated U.S. airspace
17 times over a 10-day period because the Post gave
scant-if any-coverage to the incursions. Like Norma
Desmond, the aging film queen in Sunset Boulevard
desperately trying to relive her faded glory days, the
post did print story after story about the Watergate
scandal.
In some of the supposedly irretrievably lost emails, Lois Lerner refers to political and religious
conservatives by a vile expletive. Where are the editorial outrage Post editors felt when Nixon unleashed
the IRS on reporters who wrote critically of him?
The Posts editorial staff would do well to heed
the late Protestant Pastor Martin Niemollers words.
First, they came for the Socialists, and I did
not speak out-because I was not a Socialist Then
they came for the Trade Unionist, and I did not speak
out because I was not a Trade Unionist Then they
came for me-and there was no one left to speak for
me.

Safe Haven - a Way

to Save the Baby
Many pregnant women who cant or dont want to raise a
child are often told that abortion is their only solution. That isnt
true. Just because a woman gives birth to a child doesnt mean she
has to raise that child.
Consider a situation where the father, pregnant womans family, friends, church, crises pregnancy center, etc. cant or wont
help enough, the woman doesnt want or cant afford an abortion,
adoption efforts have failed, and the baby is due soon. Unless
the woman decides to keep the baby, Safe Haven is an excellent
option for her and a refuge for her unwanted baby, an option that
can certainly affect many of her decisions during her pregnancy.
Safe Haven is a program that allows a mother to turn her
new-born baby over to a hospital or a competent authority such as
the police or firemen anonymously and with no questions asked.
General requirements are that the baby not be more than 10 days
old and unharmed. The child will be eligible for adoption.
The laws vary by state. Search the web for Safe Haven
(your state) for the particular laws in your state and the hospitals
and drop off locations. Theres even a site that tells how to prepare the baby to be dropped off.
One very big problem with abortion is that it is final and it
often results in an early decision. There is no consideration of
changing circumstances. Its too late if the pregnant woman realizes after an abortion that she could have raised the child, or if the
father, relatives, etc. change their minds, or if someone shows up
to adopt the child, etc. One of the great things about Safe Haven
is that she can still decide to give up the baby up to ten days after
its birth.
The program reminds me of a story about a mother who
couldnt keep her baby. She put him in a basket and set it adrift in
a river where some influential women were bathing. She hoped
one of them would raise the baby, because possibly God had big
plans for her baby boy (Exodus 2:1-10) just as He has for each of us
(Ephesians 2:10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ
Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we
should walk in them).
Hopefully, youll never be in a position to need the Safe Haven program. But you might be able to share this information
with someone who needs the information now or will need it in
the future.

Another Kid Died In Hot Car

Another Kid Died In Hot Car - His Father Stoned
on Marijuana. The ancient verse reads, "Without a vision, the people perish." In this instance, without a
vision greater than getting stoned, a father missed the
"greater vision" he could have had to set a wholesome
example for his son who is now dead; indeed a tragedy
of lost promise. Seated inside a sealed car parked outside the Phoenix sports pub where the father worked,
the 3 month-old never had a chance. Jamison Gray
now joins Levi Welton, the Golden, Colorado infant
who passed away at the ripe old age of 2 in a house
fire because the people entrusted with his care were
stoned out of their minds on medical marijuana,
The 6 people shot dead in a Safeway store in Arizona
by psychotic pothead Gerald Loughner, the 3 people
murdered by marijuana-obsessed Darion Agulier in
a Columbia, Maryland shopping mall while minding
their own business, the 12 theatre-goers in Colorado

killed when stoner Jeremy Holmes declared war on
the world, the 14 Conrail passengers slaughtered by
Ricky Gates, the toking train engineer, the family of
5 in California who never made it home from an outing because of a stoned driver in the growing list
of innocents lost to the desire for a quick high by a
pothead.

Calvert is
Home to an
Increasing
Number of
Local
Breweries
By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
Calvert County is becoming a hotbed
for microbreweries of all sizes and home
brewers, and the county has been welcoming to the industry.
Nicks of Calvert is supporting local
breweries from a distribution standpoint.
As of July 1, it is legal for establishments
selling alcohol to obtain a refillable container permit. The permit allows for the sale of
draft beer for consumption off the licensed
premises in a refillable container which
meets specified requirements, according to
Senate Bill 341, available on mgaleg.maryland.gov.
The bill allowed Drew and Nick Ferrante to do something they always wanted
to do at Nicks of Calvert sell refillable
containers and feature draft beers the are
only sold in kegs and barrels.
They have several local breweries
to talk to, and are already serving a brew
created in a collaboration between Scorpion Brewing from Owings and Mullys
Brewery from Prince Frederick called Line
Stepper. They also feature brews from the
Eastern Shore, Laurel, Md., and even one
from a small brewery in Missouri. Being
able to sell draft beer gives Nicks of Calvert the opportunity to further support local small businesses and upstart breweries,
Drew said.
The beer business is crazy right now,
Nick said.
Calvert boasts a number of breweries
in the county.

Brian Daily at Scorpion Brewery
Scorpion Brewing
Scorpion Brewing, owned by Brian
Daily, is the newest brewery in Calvert. The
brewery had a soft opening on Aug. 16, and
he plans to hold a ribbon cutting and grand
opening in September.
Daily had been brewing at home for
years before deciding to take the leap and
try opening his own brewery.
The brewerys name is a tribute to the
Chesapeake Bay Flotilla that boldly fought
off the British during the War of 1812, according to the brewerys website.
The Scorpion was the flagship of the
flotilla and was scuttled on Aug. 24, 1814 in
the Patuxent River, just north of the route
4 bridge in Waysons Corner, to prevent its
capture and use by the British.
To help get the brewery up and running, Daily and his summer intern set up a
kickstarter campaign which ended on Aug.
2 and raised $11,600. He set up a founding
member promotion, which bought donors
who gave $1,000 or more a limited-edition
growler, a Scorpion Brewery golf shirt, beer
Photo by Sarah Miller
for three years and the donors name on a

plaque in the brewery. There are a limited
number of founders club slots, and there are
four still open, Daily said.
Daily is grateful to local breweries for
offering him advice in getting his establishment up and running.
You find the brewing industry is a really fun industry, Daily said.
Daily has been naming his beers after
other ships in the Chesapeake Bay Flotilla.
Daily has been talking to local farmers with the goal of using as many locally
grown ingredients as possible. He hopes to
transition to using exclusively local produce
in the next five years.
You can taste the difference in using
local produce, Daily said.
Daily brews specialty beers, in addition to stable IPAs and stouts. One of his
seasonal is an apple wheat beer that is half
wheat beer and half apple cider with apple
pie spices. He is planning this years pumpkin ale, which he said will be out close to
Thanksgiving, when fresh pumpkins are
available locally.
The tasting room is open from noon
to 6 p.m. on Saturdays, and Daily plans to

expand his hours over time. When Dailys
brewery is at full production, he anticipates
having four beers on tap at all times. For
more information, visit www.scorpionbrewing.com. Scorpion Brewing is located
at 929 Skinners Turn Road, Suite 100 in
Owings.
Mullys Brewery
Mullys Brewery owners Cindy and
Jason Mullikin are nearing the companys
first anniversary.
The couple started home brewing
seven years ago and immediately loved is,
Cindy said. They opened the brewery in October 2013.
When they decided to take their brewing efforts to the next level, Jason enrolled
in the Siebel Institute of Technology for
classes in brewery services and starting a
brewery.
The community has been very welcoming to the brewery, Cindy said. Their
customer base has been steadily growing,

and one woman came in with hats that she embroidered the Mullys logo on for free.
Their beers have won awards, and they are looking forward to the upcoming Maryland Brewers
Harvest.
At the end of every month, Mullys holds Small
Batch Sunday. They welcome local home brewers
and beer lovers to try an experimental batch of Mullys brewed, and to bring their own beers for others to
taste and critique.
We make fun things that never leave here, Jason said.
The next Small Batch Sunday will be on Sept. 7,
postponed from Aug. 31 due to the holiday. A second
Small Brew Sunday will be held on Sept. 28.
Owning and running a brewery is a full time
job, often requiring 12 to 14 hour days. Despite this,
they make sure to spend plenty of time with their
daughters, who they bring to work with them, Cindy
said. Mullys has become a family business in every
sense of the word.
We wouldnt have it any other way, Jason said.
Mullys is open for tours and tastings Saturdays
and Sundays from noon to 6 p.m. They are open for
growler fills only on Mondays and Thursdays from
3 to 6 p.m. For more information, visit www.mullysbrewery.com. Mullys Brewery is located at 141
Schooner Lane in Prince Frederick.
The Ruddy Duck Brewery and Grill

The Ruddy Duck has been open for five years,
and the multi-award winning brewery is among the
most well-known in the county.
262
Matt Glass and Carlos Yanez at Ruddy Duck
The brewery aspect of the establishment was

the brainchild of co-owner Carlos Yanez. He started
home brewing 16 years ago and enjoyed it so much
that he wanted to open his own brewery to share his
love of well-crafted beer.
Brewer Matt Glass works with the Ruddy
Duck to brew their IPA, Helles light lager and
Oktoberfest beers, in addition to coming up
with new brews to try and making seasonal offerings. They always have a dark beer on tap,
Glass said, and they have a gluten free option
when available.
Glass compared the demand for craft
beers and micro-brews to coffee peoples
tastes have expanded past Folgers and
Maxwell House. While the traditional
brands will always have their place, more
and more people are seeking out something
unique and different.
Were kind of all over the place,
Glass said, referring to the variety of
beers the Ruddy Duck keeps on tap.
In addition to in-house brews, The
Ruddy Duck features guest beers from
other small breweries, Glass said.
The Ruddy Duck has gotten to be a
popular spot in the county, and that popularity has come with a price they can
only brew so much, so fast.
To help ease demand, the Ruddy
Duck entered into a partnership with Mullys
Brewery, which allowed them to expand their
production while working with another local
brewery. It is typical in the brewery industry for
one brewer to be willing
to help another, Yanez
said.
Both the Ruddy Duck
and Mullys will be at the
Maryland Brewers Harvest
on Sept. 20 in Fells Point.
There will be two busses to
the festival leaving from the
Ruddy Duck on Sept. 20.
Entry into the festival for
individuals who arrive with
the Ruddy Duck group will
be $25, and a seat on one of
the busses is $23.

is located at 13200 Dowell

Profile A Fun, Creative Jewelry Option
By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
Wanda Anderson had a problem. Her love for riding

Harleys was not compatible with her liking for unique earrings. She, and several of her friends, constantly lost earrings while riding. So, Wanda went looking for a creative
solution to the problem.
Wanda had been making jewelry for years, starting
with beaded eyeglass holders. When she turned to the earring conundrum, she looked at ear feathers from the 1920s
and Egyptian fashion to make something that was useable
with pierced and non-pierced ears and would hug the ear.
She made the first pair in orange and black, the official Harley Davidson colors, and didnt tell anyone of her friends
when she wore them on an outing. When they stopped for
lunch, everyone started checking to see if their earrings
were missing and noticed that Anderson wasnt worried.
When they saw what she had made, all of them wanted a
pair. Then their friends wanted sets. Wandas husband, Alan
Anderson, said they couldnt keep giving away earrings, so
they made a deal with their local Harley Davidson dealer to
sell their earrings there.
Wanda and Alan Anderson
That was 10 years ago. Shortly after beginning to sell

their earrings, people started asking for them in different
colors and styles.
Locally, Kathys Bella Scarpa in Lusby sells a selection
of Ear ClimberZ and assorted jewelry. Wanda and Alan will
be at Annmarie Gardens 2014 Artsfest on Sept. 20 and 21.
While there, they will be selling jewelry and demonstrating
wirework. They can make custom earrings in between 5 and
15 minutes, meaning they can make a custom pair on site
while their customer browses.
It gets us in a lot of shows we wouldnt otherwise be
in, Alan said.
The jewelry is nickel free and made with Swarovski
crystals and natural stones.
Wanda gives pink earrings to cancer survivors, and
has created custom earrings for individuals with severe ear
damage, including a woman who lost a large amount of her
cartilage to cancer and a woman who had been in a fire.

Its just something to do to give back, Wanda said.
Wanda and Alan started their business in Florida and,
after selling their home, began traveling up to Southern
Maryland every year during the summer. Both were born
in the area, and have family locally. They migrate between
Maryland and Florida. Wanda said they enjoy traveling because it gives them a chance to meet a wide variety of people, visit several crafting events and even minister to people.
Their faith in God is a cornerstone of their lives, Wanda said.
Following the Artsfest, they will be heading back to
Florida for the winter.

Take on the
ALS Ice Bucket
Challenge
By Lauren Procopio
Staff Writer
Social Media has played a major
role in the awareness of Amyotrophic
Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), also known
as Lou Gehrigs disease. The disease
gained attention thanks to those who
participated in the Ice Bucket Challenge. Challengers have ranged from
former president George W. Bush to actor Justin Timberlake, who was the first
celebrity to participate in the challenge.
According to the ALS foundation, it
has already received $55.3 million, Wendy
compared to lasts year amount of $2.2
million in the same time span. Local
businesses in Calvert County have joined in
on the challenge to help raise awareness and
funds for the neurodegenerative disease.
Dwayne and Wendy Crawford of Family
Auto Care BMW Mercedes and Lexus Specialists, located in Owings, Md., participated
in the Ice Bucket Challenge along with their
three daughters and their crew, after being
nominated by local business owners Claude
and Kathy Dickinson of Dickinson Jewelers.
The Crawfords are donating $1,000 to the
ALS foundation, as well as their 1994 Mercedes Benz 420 E and $100 to the Huntingtown Volunteer Fire Department.
We kind of turn everything into a community event, said Dwayne Crawford. Its
very important to support the local community, which supports you, he said.

Presenting the professionals' favorite properties on the market.
Budget-Friendly
Bathroom
Transformation Tips
The allure of a
spa-style bathroom is
something few homeowners can resist. Such
bathrooms can make for
a welcome retreat after
a long day at the office
or an afternoon spent
chasing kids around the
yard.
But as appealing as
such a sanctuary may
seem, the cost of creating a luxury washroom
is more than many
homeowners budgets
can withstand. Fortunately, a dream bathroom does not have to
break the bank. In fact,
there are several ways to
make a bathroom worthy of the most comforting spa without stretching your budget.
Install a wallhung mirror. If your
idea of a luxury bathroom harkens back to
a time before the advent of recessed medicine cabinets, then a
wall-hung mirror can
give the bathroom an
entirely new feel without much of a financial
commitment. Flush-mount mirrors need
not require the services of a contractor,
but they can provide a sense of elegance
that recessed cabinets cannot.
Replace bathroom countertops. A
countertop replacement job may sound
expensive, but such an undertaking is
not very costly in the washroom, where
counter space is typically limited. Since
the cost of countertop materials is by the
square foot, you can replace bathroom
surfaces for a relatively small amount of
money. Granite countertops can be beautiful, but such surfaces do not create the
warm feel that many prefer in a luxury
bathroom. A material such as soapstone
is warm and inexpensive and can quickly
give the bathroom a new look.
Embrace calm colors. Painting the
bathroom is another inexpensive way to
give the room an entirely new look. If the
walls of your washroom are currently a
vibrant color, consider a more calming
tone to give the room the luxurious and
relaxing feel youre aiming for. If your
bathroom includes a clawfoot tub, you
also can make it a two-tone tub to add
a touch of relaxing elegance. Paint the
tubs exterior in a calming tone such as
soft gray, and you will have transformed
the washroom at little cost and even less
effort.
Transform your double vanity.
Many homeowners prefer a double vanity in their bathrooms, as such a setup allows both men and women the space to
get ready for bed or work without getting
in one anothers way. But instead of a traditional vanity with a counter between the
sinks, consider installing matching pedestal sinks to surround an antique washstand. This can give the washroom a feel
of antique luxury, and such washstands
can found for a few hundred dollars.
Replace old fixtures. Though they
are often overlooked, cabinet and door
fixtures as well as towel racks can greatly
influence the feel of a washroom. If the
cabinet and drawer handles are old or outdated, replace them with more modern
options. Such a job might be even more
effective if you repaint or reface existing
cabinetry. Neither task is terribly expensive, but both can give the washroom a
more luxurious feel. The same goes for
replacing old towel racks, which can be
an eyesore if theyre especially dated.
Transforming a bathroom may seem
like a significant and costly undertaking,
but savvy homeowners can give their
washrooms a new and luxurious look
without spending much money.

Avinash, Sayan, Kehan and Alexandra Bhati
By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
Sunny skies, clear water, dolphins and friendly
people whats there not to like about spending
nearly a year on a boat?
The Bhati family spent nine months aboard,
sailing their catamaran, the SV Agave, from Veras
White Sands Beach Club in Lusby down to the Caribbean and back. The family consists of Avinash,
his wife Alexandra and their sons Sayan and Kehan.
The family bought the boat in 2012. They hired
a captain to sail it to Lusby from Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.
Once the catamaran was docked at Veras White
Sands Beach Club, the family began learning how
to care for and maintain their boat.
Everything we did helped us get to know the
boat, Avinash said.
The trip was a plan years in the making. Avinash and Alexandra began taking sailing lessons
from Andy Batchelor and Lisa Batchelor Frailey,
owners of Sail Solomons, in 2008.
They gave us the confidence to go about our
dream, Alexandra said.
In addition to taking lessons and sailing in the
area, the family went on vacations down to Florida
and the Caribbean to charter boats and practice sailing out there. They set sail in September 2013. The
school the boys go to, a Montessori school in Montgomery County, gave Alexandra some pointers and
advice on educating the boys while out to sea. Just
being on the water itself was a learning experience,
Alexandra said. Sayan remembers fondly getting to
swim with a baby dolphin and its mother that came
up to the boat.
One unexpected lesson for the whole family
was a newfound awareness of water usage, Alexandra said. Because the catamaran could only store a
limited amount of fresh water, the family found biodegradable soaps and shampoos so they could bathe
in the ocean and rinsed off with fresh water. They
washed dishes the same way, in salt water with a
quick fresh water rinse. They also became aware of
their electricity usage in the same way, making sure
that the batteries onboard were never completely
drained.
While on the water, safety is the top priority.
Alexandra and Avinash had to file plans daily. They
often found boat buddies that they could raft up
with, including one family that they spent a month
with and became very close to. Theyre still in contact with their bating friends, and plan to visit the
family soon.
Cabin fever can be a problem in smaller boats,
but because the catamaran is so large it didnt pose
much of a problem.
Avinash and Alexandra own a business doing bookkeeping for various non-profit organizations. This made it easier to go on the trip, Avinash
said. They told their clients what the plan was, and
worked out how to do it from abroad. Avinash returned to Maryland three times to attend meetings.
The Agave is looking for a new family, Avinash
said. While they would like to do another outing at
some point, they do not plan to do so immediately
and are selling the catamaran.
The family detailed their experience online.

about their adventures.

From my Backyard to our Bay

A Calvert County Residents Guide to Improving Our Environment and Drinking Water
Forest Stewardship
From My Backyard to
Our Bay is a small but
powerful booklet that was
first developed by the
Baltimore Soil Conservation District. From there,
several counties republished a version tailored
to their county resources.
Calvert Countys booklet
was developed by the
Citizens Green Team.
FREE COPIES can be
obtained at Annmarie
Gardens, at local libraries,
or downloaded at
calvertgreenexpo.org.
If the 17.5 million
residents who live in
the Chesapeake Bay
watershed area read
this booklet, and took
to heart its suggestions
and best practices, the
Chesapeake Bay would
see a dramatic increase
in health.
Forestland is important to the overall

health of the Chesapeake Bay. Forests
provide several layers, from the canopy
to the forest floor, that act as filters.
They improve water quality, reduce
sedimentation, remove nutrients and
regulate stream flow during storms.
Marylands 2.5 million acres of forest,
most of which are privately owned,
cover approximately 39% of the states
land area. Calvert Countys land area
is about 47% forested, and has more
than 190 miles of shoreline. Wooded
buffers along these shorelines are
critical to improving Bay health. Acre for
acre, forested lands produced the least
amount of runoff and pollution. The
County occupies a forest transitional
zone, where the dominant tree species
vary from oak/hickory to tulip poplar
to sweet gum/red maple and loblolly/
Virginia pine.
Forests can be harvested on a
sustainable basis for materials,
including structural lumber, crates,
shelving and furniture, flooring, mulch,
and pulp for paper. Forests can, in most
County residents with questions

about woodland stewardship and
management, as well as timber
harvesting, should contact their local
DNR forester or a consultant forester.
The State of Maryland maintains
a database of private Licensed
Professional Foresters (LPFs), who
work cooperatively with the Department
of Natural Resources (DNR) Forest
Service to assist landowners with
implementation of timber harvests. Lists
of LPFs can be found at the DNR Web
site below.
cases, provide these products while

also maintaining and even enhancing
wildlife habitat, recreational activities,
and soil conservation. Timber harvests
are closely monitored by a partnership
of agencies, including the Calvert
Soil Conservation District, the Calvert
County Department of Planning &
Zoning and the Maryland Department of
the Environment.

When residents of Scientists
Cliffs, Maryland, heard that
forests and abandoned
farms surrounding their
homes were to be sold,
possibly to developers, they
bought the land. A tract of
436 wooded acres near the
Chesapeake Bay became
