Sheriffs Deputies
Speed Cameras
Negotiate Post
May Be Coming to
Retirement Options
a School Near You
By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
Do you ever go speeding through a
school zone? Do you worry about drivers
who do? There may soon be speed cameras helping to police school zones and
encourage drivers to slow down.
There will be a public hearing during
the July 27 Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) meeting to discuss the
matter.
School zone speed cameras are not a
new concept in the county, said Assistant
Sheriff Lt. Dave McDowell.
Truly, the camera in Chesapeake
Beach has changed behavior, McDowell
said, adding that camera has eliminated
speeding issues on Chesapeake Beach
Road through the beaches.
Everyone slows down no matter day or
night.
According to www.co.cal.md.us, the
Safety for Student Program proposes to
authorize the use speed cameras in designated school zones on County roads in
an effort to save lives and prevent injuries

by: changing driver behavior through voluntary compliance with traffic laws; education and increased public awareness;
and augment the efforts of traditional law
enforcement.
The speed cameras would be active
Monday through Friday, 6 a.m. to 8 p.m.
There are 11 school campuses on county
roads, McDowell said, and not all of them
require speed cameras.
Putting speed cameras on state roads,
such as Route 2-4, would require the
county to work with the state to conduct
a safety study to determine the need for
the cameras.
If the commissioners approve the cameras, the county would accept bids from
companies to maintain and monitor them.
The tickets would be civil penalties similar to parking tickets, McDowell said.

co.cal.md.us.

During the July 21 Board of
County Commissioners (BOCC)
the commissioners voted to allow
retired sheriffs deputies to continue as contract employees without
jeopardizing their pensions or having to start over with a whole new
pension plan.
The BOCC voted 4-0-1 to approve the change. Commissioner
Pat Nutter chose to recuse himself
from the vote.
Ive been shot at, Ive been cut,
Ive been peed on, and Ive been run
over by a bus, said Calvert County
Sheriffs Office Lt. Steve Jones,
adding that he has put in more than

25 years of service and has earned
his retirement even if he chooses to
work with the sheriffs office as a
contractor.
Fraternal Order of Police representative Tom Phelps attended the
BOCC meeting to show support
for the change, saying that deputies
who have earned their retirement
deserve the benefits.
The change will give the Calvert
County sheriff the option to contract retired deputies and use them
in support position in locations
other than the courthouse, said Assistant Sheriff 4 Dave McDowell.

The Chesapeake Beach Water Park

was very proud of two of their lifeguards
Katelan Bishop, 17, and Karina Powell,
18, last week when the Chesapeake Beach
Town Council presented them with awards.
Bishop was presented with the Golden
Guard Award, an award given by Ellis
and Associates, the International Aquatic
Safety and Risk Management Consultants.
The Golden Guard is a prestigious award
given only to lifeguards that epitomize the
perfect guard, after an undercover employee of the company has closely monitored
them. This year it has been awarded to 12
out of 40,000 lifeguards internationally.
Bishop won her award for back-scanning
a technique used by lifeguards that monitors both their front and back while walking down their part of the water.
Powell won the Safety Award the same
day, Thursday, July 16, also by Ellis and
Associates. This was awarded in honor of
her quick actions that saved the life of a
7-month-old child that inhaled water and Pictured Katelan Bishop (Left) Karina Powell (Right)
was unable to breath. She performed CPR

TPP Sends Two Students

to National Flight
Academy in Pensacola, FL
The Pax River Flight Academy recently

wrapped up its second year of operation at
the James A. Forrest Career and Technology Center, graduating 20 students from this
years program. Two students were awarded scholarships from The Patuxent Partnership to attend a week long training program
at the National Flight Academy (NFA) in
Pensacola, Fla. based on their outstanding
performance during the school year.
The NFA is a 102,000 square-foot fourstory structure designed to be a fully immersive experience. The adventure begins
when students enter the building a virtual aircraft carrier called Ambition. Each
deck of Ambition is designed scenically
and theatrically to simulate a modern aircraft carrier. The first deck houses the galley, mess hall, administrative spaces and
the aircraft hangar bays. The second deck
is dedicated to academic spaces including
the operations and intelligence centers. The
third and fourth decks house crew quarters,
lounges, and activity rooms. It is easy for
students to forget they are inside a building
and not on a real aircraft carrier.
Two students, Patrick Russell and Jeffrey
Knipe, were nominated for an all inclusive
scholarship provided by The Patuxent Partnership. The award was given in recognition of their exceptional efforts during the
school year at the Pax River Flight Acad-
emy. Every mission we did was a success,

said Jeffrey, although the week went by extremely fast and some tasks were much harder than others, it was definitely worth it in the
end. I learned so much while I was there. The
Naval Aviation Museum and the IMAX film
about the Magic of Flight were very cool as
well. In addition to attending the NFA program and the Naval Aviation Museum the students were able to meet the crew of the Blue
Angels. At the end of the NFA program the
students graduated and received their wings.
The Pax River Flight Academy was made
possible by a grant from NAWCAD to The
Patuxent Partnership. The grant allowed for
an Aviation Classroom Experience (ACE) to
be developed and implemented within the St.
Marys County Public School system. The
ACE at the Tech Center is a scaled down version of the students experience at the National
Flight Academy.
The Patuxent Partnership works with government, industry and academia on initiatives in science and technology, hosts programs of interest to NAVAIR and the broader
DoD community, and supports workforce
development including education initiatives
and professional development. Visit www.
paxpartnership.org for more informaiton.

departments dropped from $67

million to $37 million causing
these departments to seek more
revenue from already constrained
county budgets.
The mandate for counties to impose a Rain Tax was repealed,
but not the responsibility for the
counties to fund storm water projects. One hammer of a mandate
was replaced with another hammer; namely annual reporting and
financial assurance plan requirements and penalties if counties fail
to achieve challenging water pollution and sediment runoff related
goals.
Of the 24 local jurisdictions in
Maryland (23 counties and Baltimore City), Montgomery County
is the most populous. Kent County
is the smallest. Calvert County
ranks 15.
For this current fiscal year, the
General Funding Operating Budget for Montgomery County is
$4.4 Billion. Somerset Countys
is the lowest at $35.2 Million. Calvert Countys ranking is 11th at
$238.8 Million.
If I seem quieter in a crowd

than others, its probably because
I prefer listening, observing, or
thinking rather than talking. If
one wonders what Im thinking,
the following may give you some
insight:
Over the past five years, 12 local jurisdictions, including Calvert
County saw decreasing school enrollments. These decreases were
continually declining year by year.
Maryland mandated Maintenance of Effort (MOE) requires
a county to fund education at the
same per pupil rate as the previous
year. MOE lacks a foundation in
education funding needs, creates
disincentive to fund above MOE,
hinders initiatives for one-time
school funding needs, and works
against budget transparency.
Commuters who live in rural areas tend to drive more miles than
those in urban areas; and in doing
so contribute more dollars to the
state from the gasoline tax (Highway User Revenue HUR). Restoring the HUR to the counties is
not only logical; it makes economic sense, and fair. The cumulative
loss of local roadway investment
now tops $2 billion. No wonder
roads throughout Maryland are in
such sad shape.

Thomas GIL Gillam Whedbee, Jr., 83,
of Suwannee Fla., passed away peacefully,
surrounded by his family on Tuesday, July
14, in Calvert County, after a long battle
with Alzheimers.
He was born on May 4, 1932 in Edenton,
N.C., to the late Lizzie (Miller) and Thomas
G. Whedbee Sr. He grew up in Ahoskie,
N.C., where he graduated from Ahoskie
High School. After graduation, he spent a
year at Wake Forest University. During his
first year there, he felt called to serve in the
United States Navy during the Korean War.
He was stationed in Iceland and served hunting enemy submarines from a Naval Air
P2V-5. After completion of his service, Gil
returned stateside to marry the love of his
life, his beloved, Marianne. He returned to
his scholastic studies at Wake Forest University, going on to attend and graduate from
the Medical College of Virginia, in the field
of Hospital Administration. He served his
residency at Roanoke Memorial Hospital.
Gil was a long time resident of Baltimore, where he raised his family in Timonium and served as the President of Church
Home and Hospital (CHH) for more than 30
years. Throughout his career, he was recognized for many professional and volunteer
achievements.

jump in someone elses. He devoted much
of his recreational time to his life on the water at his cottage on the Albemarle Sound in
Edenton, N.C. and his round house on stilts
in the quaint fishing town of Suwannee, Fla.

Gil never knew a stranger. He was loved
and respected by many friends and acquaintances. He is remembered for his generous
and kind heart; his dry sense of humor and
impeccable timing. His love of God permeated all that he did and his faith was
strong and inspiring. He loved and walked
his journey with people of all types and his
deep love for his wife and children kept him
centered. Gils accomplishments have benefited more people than he ever could have
imagined and they will continue to do so for
many more years to come.
He is survived by Marianne (Farnell)
Whedbee, his wife of over 60 years. He
is the loving father of their three children,
Thomas G. Whedbee, III and his wife Jill,

Camp Courage to be Outstanding with

Pride and Self-confidence (C.O.P.S.), celebrated its 19th anniversary during last
weeks camp.
Camp C.O.P.S was held Monday, July 13,
through Thursday, July 17, at Kings Landing Park, and is a free camp that provides
an exciting experience for local middle
school students every summer.
We started this camp in the year 1996
and it was started to give elementary students sort of a self-esteem as they transition from elementary school to middle
school, said Retired Sgt. Larry Titus, who
currently works for the school board. The
crust of the camp is to let kids look inside
themselves and see where their leadership
abilities are and to develop that by the obstacle course. The only person that they
challenge is themselves, its kind of a confidence courseAt the same time, we want
to develop a good relationship between law
enforcement and the students.
Campers participate in something different each day. Students learn martial arts,
first aid, CPR, health and fitness basics,
and close order drills. Lessons and demonstrations are preformed by various organizations throughout the duration of the
camp as well, such as the Maryland Natural
Resources Police, Calvert County Swat and
K-9 unit and many more.
On Thursday, campers were transported
to Prince Fredrick to tour the Maryland
State Police (MSP) barracks in Prince
Fredrick, the courthouse, the 911 center,
and the Calvert Control Center. Campers
ended the week on Friday, with boat rides, a
kick ball tournament, and a landing by the
Maryland State Police Helicopter. A graduation ceremony where campers received
certificates and plaques occurred on Friday
at 3 p.m. At the end of every day, campers
are able to spend half an hour to an hour
at the pool where parents would pick them
up. Campers were provided with water
bottles, t-shirts and are fed everyday by the
Dunkirk Baptist Church.
With 125 kids enrolled in the camp, all
campers were split into four different teams,
red, blue, yellow and green team. Each team
is given a colored flag to decorate and each
team is able to come up with a team name.

There were 25 to 27 kids in each team and

three adults are the heads of each team.
The most rewarding for us I think is the
troopers and the deputies they talk to the kids
and when you hear from the kids and ask
them How many camps have you been to,
Is this your first camp? those kinds of questions and when they answer This is the best
camp Ive ever been to, that makes us feels
good, said Lt. Sean Morris, Commander of
the Prince Fredrick Barracks. You see the
smile on their face and you see that they are
actually learning something and having fun,
that to me makes it worthwhile!
The Calvert County School Board and state
cops work together in order to make Camp
C.O.P.S. possible every year. According to
Morris, Camp C.O.P.S. costs an estimated
$5,000 to run every year. Around February
and March, Morris sends out 25 letters to
various organizations, businesses and agencies in order to get the donations necessary to
make this free camp possible. Organizations
and agencies send individuals to the camp to
help out. However, donations are still necessary to keep this camp going.
What really makes us proud is that
other counties in the state have adopted it,
said Morris. It is spreading and that is
our goal and its the best form of flattery if
someone imitates you.
For more information regarding Camp
C.O.P.S., or to make a donation, contact
Morris or First Sergeant Albert Paton at
410-535-1400, visit the Prince Frederick
MSP Barrack located at 210 Main Street,

Library Supports Local Non-Profits

By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
Some non-profit organizations depend
on grants and outside funding to continue
serving the community. Calvert Library
is offering a free workshop at the Prince
Frederick branch at 10 a.m. on July 24 to
give local non-profit employees the tools
they need to secure additional funding.
The workshop will feature a speaker from
the Foundation Center in Washington, D.C.,
said Public Services Librarian and Funding
Information Network Supervisor Cathey
Moffatt-Bush. The speaker will go over a
basic introduction to writing proposals, how
to find applications, and how to follow up
on an application. Participants will have the
last half hour of the workshop to start a draft
proposal and get some advice.
The library is a satellite location for
the Foundation Center, which is in turn a

branch of the main Foundation Center in
New York. The upcoming workshop is just
one of a number of support opportunities
offered. There have been workshops on researching grant opportunities among other
topics, Moffatt-Bush said. Additionally,
she conducts one-on-one and small group
classes for local non-profits.
The Calvert Library Foundation pays for
the library to be part of the center and offer
training for non-profit organizations, said
Public Relations Coordinator Robyn Truslow.
The Calvert Library Foundation is
funded by businesses and individuals in
Calvert County who understand the power
of investing in the library, Truslow said.

Otterly Fantastic
By Crista Dockray
Contributing Writer
Meet Squeak, or Chumley as they call

him behind the scenes, Calvert Marine
Museums resident North American River
Otter. Squeak is 12.5 years old and has
been in the museums collection since he
was just six months old. As a juvenile, he
was orphaned from his mother and was no
longer able to care for himself. Luckily, he
was rescued from the wild and was given
over to the Clearwater Marine Aquarium, located in Florida. There, they cared
for him for a period of time, getting him
healthy and acclimating him to a diet before he made his trip up to the coast to his
new home in Southern Maryland.
The river otter exhibit was originally
built as part of an expansion project for
the museum and was later enlarged by
the museum staff. The otter was chosen
because of its relation to Chesapeake area
and the Calvert Marine Museums mission
on interpreting the living things in the
Chesapeake.
They could have gone with a number
of other mammalian species but river otters really made sense, said the Curator of
Estuarine Biology David Moyer. Theres
river otters that occur right out there in the
creek behind our property. Theyve even
been known to come up right to the river
otter exhibit.
With the help of Squeaks aquarists,
Lori Mason, Linda Hannah, and Laura
Maydeburger, his frontline, full-time
keepers, Squeak has lived a happy life
Ten River Otter Fun Facts
1) Although its not typical, they can
dive up to 50 feet and hold their
breath for 7 to 8 minutes.
2) If you watch a river otter swim
through the water you will see little
bubbles coming out of their fur.
3) They can weigh up to 25 pounds.
4) If you peel back the outer fur
there is an undercoat thats very
short and very dense. It is so thick
that it does not allow the water to
touch the skin, so river otters are
essentially dry at skin level.
5) They can eat about 20 percent
of their bodyweight a day, although
this is usually not the case.
6) They prefer to bulk up in weight
during the fall so they are heavy going into the winter.
7) They are crepuscular meaning
they are active during the twilight
hours, the dusk and dawn periods
of the day.
8) They sleep about 20 hours a day.
9) There are 13 species of otters.
10) River otters are primarily terrestrial animals despite their name.
Although they love the water, they
spend most of their time in their dry,
cool dens.
in his exhibit over the past twelve years.

Each keeper holds a background in biology and has worked with the museum
between eight and 20 years. They cycle
through a weekly care system, allowing
one person to care for the otter seven days
straight before rotation. The keepers do
health checks, feedings, they spray down,
scrub and sanitize the decks, they change
enrichment items, clean glass, skim the
water, clean toys, log data on the filtration
operations, and change the water in the
behind the scenes pool. Their day can run
anywhere from two to five hours with the
otter, depending on how smoothly things
run.
Squeak follows a structured routine that
starts around 8:30 a.m. every morning,
when one of the keepers comes in, turns
on the light and gives him a small snack.
By 10 a.m., Squeak gets his breakfast, his
first round of vitamins, any medications
he may need and then is released outside
to his exhibit.
Squeak lives in a habitat that is, meant
to look like a mud bank thats typical of
our region. If you were to go to Calvert
Cliffs, you might find an exposed mud
bank very similar to what is displayed
here, said Moyer. Its very similar to
what you might find in the natural world,
theres large replicated logs and ponds and
cascading water and fake roots and all of
those things.
Squeak can swim in his 8,000 gallon
freshwater pool which is kept at a chilled
74 degrees and is constantly being run
through a complex filtration system. He
can also run around on the dry land, where
he has a hammock, balls, and a sled to play
with. On hot summer days, the door to the
inside is kept open, giving him the option
to cool off in air conditioning.
Around his exhibit are enrichment
items, or toys as they might be called. The
keepers are very careful to make sure that
Squeak has a different configuration of enrichment items every day. While Squeak
is out in the exhibit, keepers will hide
treats in his holding area, placing them in
towels, nooks and crannies and in plastic
bottles where he has to get the food out by
doing forging behaviors. They rub lemon
peel, parsley, sage, nutmeg, cinnamon or
orange peel on his toys or in corners to give
him something to smell. They do the same
thing outside on exhibit, when he is in for
a feeding. They give him items meant for
big dogs, like rawhide toys, bones,
rope toys and hard plastic things
like Frisbees. He has plastic containers that people would normally
recycle with things inside that he
can tear apart or open.
The enrichment is really important because otherwise the
animal would get bored here, and a
bored mammal is not easily kept in
a cage or a box, said Moyer.
He eats two more times each
day; once in the afternoon around
1 p.m. before he likes to nap and
once at 4 p.m. after he is brought
back inside for the night. Squeak is
an intelligent animal and is trained
to come through the tunnel and
into the behind the scenes area
every time the door to his cage is
rattled or opened. From there he is
hand-fed his meals from behind the
bars.
Squeaks diet consists of 90 percent fish, a bulk of it Capelin, but
Feature Story

he will eat anything you give him, like

Smelt or Mackerel. The other 10 percent
includes a variety of vegetables and fruits
for snacks, shrimp, carrots, grapes, dried
mangos, and cranberries. His vitamins
and medications are similar to what any
dog would receive, preventing him from
getting worms or other diseases.
For special treats he enjoys Milkbones
and dog biscuits, but hard-boiled eggs are
his favorite.
He will do anything for a hard-boiled
egg, said Mason. At the end of each meal,
he is given a carrot signaling the end of the
food and will then proceed to go out of his
tunnel and back into the exhibit.
By nightfall, Squeak has eaten around
1.5 kg of food, allowing him to keep an
average of around 18 to 20 pounds in
weight. His food amount varies seasonally when his activity levels change and he
is weighed once a month to make sure he
stays on track.
During the day, Squeak can be seen
playing with his toys in the morning,
grooming and sleeping in the after-
noon. Moyer describes Squeak as pretty

laidback.
Hes healthy, hes happy, and he has
fun with just about anything, whether
its just swimming in the pool or chasing
crickets.
According to Mason, he is very set in
his ways, very food-driven and very sweet
and friendly. He also recognizes his keepers and will follow them around outside
At night, after he is called in for the day,
Squeak is closed off from his exhibit and
given free range to his cage where he eats,
his larger cage with toys and enrichment
items, a pool and a dark wooden box that
serves as his den. After his evening activities, he loves to drag his warm soft towels
into his den before he falls asleep, resting
for a new day.
So whats next for the otter exhibit? A
new $65,000 behind the scenes renovation will be done, allowing maximization
of space and the ability for visitors to see
the feedings more clearly. After the renovations are done, they will set out to add
another river otter to the collection. After
losing two otters recently to health
complications, they are looking
forward to providing Squeak with
a friend once again.
Although the museum does
not offer many programs with
the otters, summer camps, school
groups, or any small groups are
welcome to take a look behind the
scenes and they hope the renovations will allow more opportunity
to do so.
River otters will be part of the
collection, moving forward We
are going to get another animal and
it will be our intent to keep that animal for its life, said Moyer. They
are part of our long term plan.

A Unique Throwback
Dining Experience for All
By Kaitlin Davis
Contributing Writer
Solomons Island is home to various different restaurants from cafes to seafood to
bar and grills, there is something for everyone. However, tucked away in Solomons is
Charles Street Brasserie, a Mediterranean
restaurant with a Southern Maryland twist,
according to Owner and Executive Manager
Jim Zirakian.
Charles Street Brasserie, located at 120
Charles Street, Solomons, specializes in
tapas, which are a Mediterranean, Spanish
type of feeding where you get smaller plates,
so youre not getting like a dinner per se, but
youre getting dinner items on there, Zirakian said. Tapas allow customers to try out
many different plates as they offer smaller
portions and are priced less then normal
entrees.
The menu is printed every day because it
is constantly changing and evolving as the
chefs try out new things. However, some
items on the menu stay the same. All of the
food is fresh and is made to order. Charles
Street hand-carves all their meat. The menu
offers many different tastes with its ceviche,
smoked salmon board, filet mignon Mediterranean and bruschetta, asparagus wrapped in
bacon, bacon wrapped dates and more.
We try to hit every taste bud with these
dishes, said Zirakian.
Charles Street offers a wide range of wines,
spirits and other alcoholic beverages as well.
The menu and portion size isnt the only
unique aspect of Charles Street.
When people come here for the first time,
especially when they walk in at night, everything is just spotlighted, said Zirakian. You
watch their faces as they see all the paintings on the wall spotlighted and right away
you see the enthusiasm, excitementRight
away when they come in, you see that theyre
energized.
Charles Street offers a very romantic,
nighttime, stress-free type of environment
full of throwbacks and a beautiful view of
the water. From the photos lined all along the
walls to the black and white movies playing
on the televisions and the pianist on stage
from 8 p.m. to midnight, customers are transported back to the 1930s. Zirakian wants customers to have a dining experience and want
them to have a different experience then they
might get somewhere else.
Zirakian began putting Charles Street together around November 2013 with Charles
Street Executive Manager Bob Cooper.
Prior to beginning this project, Zirakian
was at the same location from 1998 to 2004
when he used to own Harbor Sounds, a New
Orleans style roadhouse. In 2004, the six year
lease was up, so Zirakian decided to move
Photos by Kaitlin Davis
on to a new adventure. 10 years passed and

Zirakian wanted to do it all again, but do it
differently. A theme was created for Charles
Street using a little bit of everything Zirakian
has seen and liked while traveling to various places. A soft opening of the restaurant
occurred the last weekend of July 2014, followed by the grand opening a week before
Labor Day. Within just a years time frame,
Charles Street Brassiere has served almost
20,000 customers, according to Zirakian.
If youre here at night, just the ambience,
the atmosphere, the fire apparatus outside,
the piano player, you come in here and its a
whole different world, said Zirakian. Its a
throwback.
Inside the dining room, Charles Street is
able to hold 50 people. During the summer,
the capacity is expanded to 150 or 160 thanks
to the side deck and upper deck. Scheduled
construction will begin on a back portion of
the restaurant and will provide seating along
with a 10-foot movie screen to play black and
white movies. The upstairs portion of the restaurant is also being renovated into a swanky
lounge featuring a pool table and high-end
whiskey. Customers are able to dock their
boats at no fee as well.
Charles Street is open Monday through
Thursday, 5 to 10 p.m., Friday, 5 p.m. to 12
a.m. and Saturday, 12 p.m. to 12 a.m. They
are also open Sundays, 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.,
with brunch occurring from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Weekly Specials are offered for various days
of the week and are subject to change. Monday is Filet Mignon and Wine night, Tuesday
is buy two tapas, get one free, Wednesday
is burger and beer draft night, Thursday is
shrimp and beer night, and Sunday is $3 Mimosas and Bloody Marys.

Brasserie, contact the brasserie by phone

Hands Across Our Land
Protecting Our Land and Communities
Grassroots resistance to proposed new natural gas infrastructure including the Dominion Cove
Point Liquefaction plant, the Atlantic Coast and Mountan Valley
natural gas pipelines is ramping up
as groups and individuals across
five states plan a coordinated,
regional action called, Hands
Across Our Land (HAOL) for
Aug. 18. This week, the Front Royal area Womens Alliance for Environmental Justice and Renewal
and Calvert Citizens for a Healthy
Community in Calvert County,
Md., have signed on to hold Hands
Across Our Land events in their
communities on Aug. 18.
The group known as Free Nelson is in the process of recruiting
more county coordinators along
the paths of both the proposed Atlantic Coast and Mountain Valley
Pipelines, as well as other communities in Maryland, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, North Carolina, New York, and Vermont
who are facing the same issues
in their communities. Local actions are being planned in Buckingham County, Franklin County,
Loudoun County, Montgomery
County, Nelson County, Augusta
County, Charlottesville, Front

Royal, Richmond, Roanoke, and
the George Washington National
Forest, in Virginia, in Myersville, Md., as well as in Monroe
and Greenbrier Counties in West
Virginia.
As Free Nelson organizer,
Sharon Ponton, stated, Citizens,
small business owners, and farmers from every walk of life are
standing up for their heritage and
culture in rural America. We are
united in our goal to stop the industrialization of our properties
and communities by energy companies who seek to profit by polluting our environment, putting
our homes and families at risk of
injury or death, and stealing private land through the misuse of
eminent domain, stated Ponton.
The fossil fuel industry would
build their pipelines, compressor stations and export terminals
within feet of homes, destroy
thousands of acres of forested
land, pollute our water supply
and our air, wreak havoc on our
local economies, and degrade
our national treasures by crossing the Blue Ridge Parkway, the
Appalachian Trail, and the pris-
tine George Washington, Jefferson and Monongahela National

Forests. The energy industry
would desecrate important Native
American historical areas if those
who have been good stewards of
the land werent willing to protect it now. All of this destruction
would occur in the name of profit
for the few on the backs of thousands of private property owners, stated Ponton.
Hands Across Our Land is designed to express the passionate
grassroots support to protect rural
communities and their way of life.
The Calvert County group, Calvert
Citizens for a Healthy Community
(CCHC), has joined this action in
solidarity with others protecting
their land, homes and communities across the Mid-Atlantic region.
CCHC Local coordinator, Leslie
Garcia, invites individuals to join
the local event by contacting her
at covepointherd@yahoo.com. Interested persons or groups can also
contact Free Nelson on Facebook
or at freenelson3@gmail.com.

A View From The
Blea hers
c

My Dear Watson
By Ronald N. Guy Jr.
Contributing Writer
The story is usually about the winner: the person, depending on the sport,
holding the trophy, being swarmed by
post-game reporters, spraying champagne, doing burnouts or reveling in a
downpour of confetti. Thats who gets
the accolades, the attention, the endless
SportsCenter loops and maybe if the
obstacles and drama were significant a
30 for 30 documentary. Fits of strength,
new levels of human athleticism, steely
nerves under pressure, a killer instinct
and absolute victory: thats what fabulous sporting moments are made of.
Runners up or those buried deep in the
field are soon-to-be-forgotten props on
someone elses glory train.
Every now and then, though, theres
a story that cuts through the darn near
exclusive celebration of victory. With
all due respect to the ultimate winner
at this years Open Championship,
a coronation that was delayed until
Monday due to weather and perhaps
not coincidently beyond my due date
for this piece, THE story for me
anyway - happened at the end of Saturdays rain-soaked and wind-swept
second round.
As Tom Watson, 65, approached the
Swilcan Bridge to cross the burn (love
the terminology used across the pond)
bisecting the 18th fairway at famed St.
Andrews, it was far from picturesque.
Weather delays had pushed the moment to the brink of sunset and left but
a few brave and beer-infused souls in
the grandstand. Nevertheless, a series
of photos was in order. The first was
with playing partners Ernie Els, Brandt
Snedeker and the caddies for all three
players. A photo of Watson with his
son/caddie followed. Finally, Watson,
a gentleman among gentlemen and the
definition of grace, stood alone on the
stone bridge as cameras popped.
Watson was 11-over par at the time
of the photo op and ended up 12-over,
a career-worst for the five-time Open
champion. He not only missed the cut,
Watson finished next to last. So why
the fuss over this forgettable performance? This was Watsons last Open
tournament.
Of 1972 vintage, I dont remember
many sporting events prior to 1981.
Jack Nicklaus, golfs leader with 18
major championships, won 17 of them
prior to 81. Watson, an eight-time
major champ, won The Open and

U.S. Open Championships in 82 and
repeated as The Open champ in 83.
My impressionable young mind didnt
understand all the Nicklaus worship;
Watson was the best golfer in the
world.
Those 82 and 83 titles created
my thing for Watson. Childhood
memories will do that to you, I suppose. Huge moments and competitors
get chiseled onto your blank, impressionable canvas and thats ittheyre
forged like stone tablets. Characters
become larger than life. Players and
teams become better than they actually were. And no one better try to
convince you otherwise.
Oh to recreate that young, unencumbered mind: there was no distracting static, no historical context,
no disputable data and no cynicism.
There was only the now, and the now
was fabulous. Moments were never
overanalyzed and, as a result of pure
thinking, the present was better than
it had ever been before and likely as
good as it would ever be.
During summer break in the early
80s, only Wimbledon and The Open
Championship broke my morning
routine of cartoons, Atari and professional wrestling. Watching The
Open engraved Watsons legend in
my mind. Thirty-plus years later,
his illustrious Open career is over
and his farewell will quickly fade.
The storylines marinating at St. Andrews are just too good for nostalgia
to hold its grip. Will Dustin Johnson
recover from a U.S. Open meltdown?
Could Sergio Garcia win his first major championship? Or amateur Paul
Dunne? Will Jordan Spieth claim the
third leg of golfs grand slam and take
the next step toward becoming the
best golfer of his generation (and to a
current 10-year-old what Watson was
to me)? The winner will dictate the
ultimate headline for the 144th Open
Championship. But before getting
there, before showering the latest man
who hoists the Claret Jug with praise
(forgetting all others), I had to pause
to appreciate Watsons excellence and
an uncluttered childs mind, the confluence of which made Watson the
first greatest golfer I ever saw.

From my Backyard to our Bay

A St. Marys County Residents Guide to Improving Our Environment and Drinking Water
From My Backyard
to Our Bay was first
developed by the Baltimore
County Soil Conservation
District. From there, the
booklet was given to each
of the Soil Conservation
Districts in the Chesapeake
Bay watershed area for
customization. If the 17.5
million residents who live in
the watershed area of the
Chesapeake Bay read this
booklet, and took to heart
its suggestions and best
practices, the Chesapeake
Bay would see a dramatic
increase in health. Obtain
a FREE copy of the
booklet by going to the St.
Marys River Watershed
Association, smrwa.org and
downloading it. The booklet
is available at Wentworth
Nursery in Charlotte Hall;
Chicken Scratch in Park
Hall; The Greenery in
Hollywood; Good Earth
Natural Food; and the St.
Marys Soil Conservation
District in Leonardtown.
Join your local watershed
association and make a
difference for Our Bay!

Forest Stewardship
Forest land 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,
improve water quality, reduce sedimentation, remove nutrients, and regulate
stream flow during storms.
Marylands 2.5 million acres of forest,
most of it privately owned, cover approximately 42% of its land area. St.
Marys Countys land area is about 50%
forested, and has more than 400 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 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
cases, provide these products while
Plant a Tree
County residents with questions about

woodland stewardship and management, as well as timber harvesting,
should contact a certified forester. The
State of Maryland maintains a database
of private Licensed Professional Foresters (LPFs), who work cooperatively with

also maintaining and even enhancing

wildlife habitat, recreational activities,
and soil conservation. Timber harvests
are closely monitored by a partnership
of agencies, including St. Marys Soil
Conservation District and St. Marys
County Department of Land Use and
Growth Management.
Go to trees.maryland.gov for information on planting trees. There is a Recommended Tree List for the program
Marylanders Plant Trees. There is a
$25.00 coupon on the website for purchasing a tree. However, the tree must
be on the eligible list of trees. There are
14 small trees, or 29 large trees on the
list that is updated periodically.

harvests. Lists of LPFs can be found at
