Chesapeake Beach Holiday Lighting Budget Drops

By Crista Dockray
Staff Writer
Holiday lights will be sparse this year
in Chesapeake Beach.
Money for holiday lighting is taken
from the property maintenance part of
the budget. With the budget cuts to the
General Funds for FY2016, the property
maintenance budget dropped $50,000.
This makes the once $250,000 budget drop down to $200,000, a $100,000
difference from the FY2015 budget of
$300,000.
This drop of property maintenance
budget affects the holiday lighting for
Chesapeake Beach significantly as the
town will be unable display the lights in
the same way as years past.
According to the citizens at the Oct.
15 town council meeting, the holiday
lights are part of their small town charm
and they feel the lack of lights could af-
fect tourism and the general feel of the

town during the holidays.
Town Councilman Bob Carpenter
agreed with the citizens and felt the need
to keep the holiday lights. In response,
he proposed the Emergency Ordinance
O-15-15. The ordinance on the Town
Meeting Agenda reads, Introduce and
Vote on Emergency Ordinance O-15-15,
an ordinance of the Town Council of
Chesapeake Beach, Maryland amending the adopted General Fund budget
for the Town of Chesapeake Beach for
the fiscal year from July 1, 2015 to June
30, 2016 to appropriate funds in the
amount of twenty five thousand dollars ($25,000.00) from the unallocated
General Fund Reserve and allocate such
funds to the General Fund for holiday
lighting.
The General Fund Reserve is the $7.4
million the town holds.
In FY2015, the holiday lighting bud-
A Solomons Harvest
get was $65,000, however the town spent

a total of $86,000. This year in FY2016,
the mayor proposed the holiday lighting
budget to be $77,000. With the budget
cuts however, it was pushed down to
$40,000.
The ordinance requested only $25,000
of the $37,000 needed to bring the budget
back to the original FY2015 proposal.
Members of the audience asked that
the $25,000 to be raised to $37,000 needed to keep their town they way the have
come to know.
For an emergency ordinance to pass, it
needs five council member votes. Councilman Eric Reinhardt was unable to attend the meeting, so five of the six council members remained.
Councilwoman Valerie Beaudin opposed the $37,000 but approved the
$25,000. The rest of the council approved of the raise except Councilman
Jeff Krahling, causing the ordinance not
to pass. Krahling encouraged the mayor

to look into using part of the $89,000
that, according to him, is not being used
for repairs to Veterans Park.
Outcries from the citizens attending
the meeting included, bah humbug!
and this is our town!
As for the special events budget, ordinance O-15-14, nicknamed the Santa
Clause ordinance by Councilman Pat
Irish Mahoney, was introduced at the
same Oct. 15 meeting. This ordinance on
the Town Meeting Agenda asks to appropriate funds in the amount of seven
thousand two hundred and fifty dollars
($7,250.00) from the unallocated General Fund reserve and allocate such funds
to the General Fund for special events.
This will be voted on at the next Town
Council meeting on Nov. 19.

St. Marys County Commissioners

Encourage Drug-Free Lifestyle During
National Red Ribbon Week Ceremonies
The Commissioners of St. Marys

County held two proclamation ceremonies to address a growing problem in
Southern Maryland ... illegal drug use.
Commissioners joined communities
across America plagued by the numerous
problems associated with illicit drug use
and abuse and those who traffic in them in
proclaiming the week of Oct. 23 through
31 as National Red Ribbon Week in St.
Marys County.
The Red Ribbon Campaign, established
by Congress in 1988, encourages a drug-
free lifestyle and involvement in drug prevention and education efforts. National
Red Ribbon Week encourages Americans
to wear a red ribbon to show their support
for a drug-free environment
There is hope in winning the war on
drugs, and that hope lies in education
and drug demand reduction, said Commissioner John OConnor (3rd District).
This, coupled with the hard work and determination of organizations such as the
Southern Maryland Young Marines, help
to foster a healthy, drug-free lifestyle.
Red Ribbon Week proclamations were

also handed out to the Lance Corporal
Caleb John Powers Young Marines. During a separate ceremony staff from the
St. Marys County Department of Aging
and Human Services, Walden Behavioral
Health, MedStar St. Marys Hospital, St.
Marys County Health Department, St.
Marys County Public Schools, St. Marys
County Sheriffs Department, Healthy
St. Marys Partnership, and the Community Alcohol Coalition also received
proclamations.
The theme of the 2015 National Red

Ribbon theme is Respect Yourself. Be
Drug Free. Governments and community leaders realize citizen support is one
of the most effective tools in the effort to
reduce the use of illicit drugs in communities across the nation.
The commissioners urge all St. Marys
County citizens to join them in this special observance now and throughout the
year.

Commissioners Proclaim
Domestic Violence
Awareness Month
Domestic violence is a crime which

violates an individuals privacy, dignity,
security, and humanity. Experts say this
is attributable to the systematic use of
physical, emotional, sexual, psychological and economic control and/or abuse
including abuse to women, children and
the elderly. In acknowledging the impact
domestic violence can have on victims,
the Commissioners of St. Marys County have declared the month of October
National Domestic Violence Awareness
Month in the county.
Statistics indicate a woman in the
United States is assaulted or beaten every nine seconds and nearly 20 people
per minute are physically abused by an
intimate partner. This equates to more
than 10 million people per year. 1 in 5
women have been raped in their lifetime.
On a typical day, there are more than
20,000 phone calls placed to domestic violence hotlines nationwide, Said
Commissioner John OConnor (3rd District). 1 in 15 children are exposed to
intimate partner violence each year, and
90 percent of these children are eyewitnesses to this violence.

A confidential, coordinated community response through the St. Marys
County Family Violence Coordinating
Council, and agencies such as MedStar
St. Marys Hospital, Southern Maryland
Family Advocacy Center, St. Marys
County Department of Social Services,
Three Oaks Center and Walden Sierra
are available to victims of domestic
violence, dating violence and sexual
assault.
In proclaiming National Domestic
Violence Awareness Month, the commissioners recognize the vital work
being done by the St. Marys County
Family Violence Coordinating Council
and the St. Marys County Commission for Women and urges citizens to
work toward improving victim safety
and raising public awareness about how
to prevent, recognize and stop domestic
violence.

Efforts Underway to Address

Lack of Affordable Housing
By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
This county is probably the poster
child for home ownership, said Housing
Authority of Calvert County Executive
Director Wayne Boyle.
In the light of the evictions at Hallowing Point Trailer Park, and the number
of households who found themselves
scrambling to find a new home, one thing
became clear there is a severe lack of
affordable and workforce housing in
Calvert.
More than 80 percent of residences in
the county are owner occupied, Boyle
said. And, according to Director of the
Department of Community Resources
Maureen Hoffman, it has become clear in
the past three to four years, that that is a
problem.
Not everyones ready for homeownership, Hoffman said, adding that the
lack of affordable housing in the county
doesnt only affect young adults. Retirees
and empty nesters often want to downsize, but have few viable options that
would allow them to do so.
Some households have gotten help
from the Housing Authority of Calvert
County, but those resources are limited
and theres only so much the housing authority can do, and families and individuals receiving help have to meet specific
qualifications.
The housing authority is separate from
the county government, Boyle said. The
only legal relationship they have with
Calvert is that the Board of Count Commissioners approves the housing authority board and Calvert gives the housing
authority a limited amount of funding
every year. Most money for the Housing Authority comes from the federal
government.
The relationship the Housing Authority has with local government varies by
jurisdiction, Boyle said.
In Calvert, 19.6 percent of households
have an annual income less than $35,000
per year, according to information from
the Calvert Housing Authority. Some
households pay more than half of their
monthly income toward rent, and 54 per-
cent of households pay more than 35 percent of their income toward rent, Boyle
said.
Theres a shortage of rentals, Boyle
said, adding that because the demand so
far outstrips the supply, landlords can
charge fairly high rent and know theyll
find a tenant.
The Calvert Housing Authority owns
and operates 225 apartment units for senior citizens and 75 low-income, singlefamily homes. There are 400 vouchers
available for low-income households to
use for rent assistance. The housing authority is in charge of administering Section 8 programs, Boyle said, which includes the rental assistance voucher program. Under the vouchers, the housing
authority pays 70 percent of the monthly
rent. There are vouchers available to veterans, low-income households, and to reunite families who have been split up due
to financial hardships.
Unfortunately, there is a long waiting
list for vouchers. Right now, there are 537
households on the waiting list for vouchers. When the waiting list was closed in
2010, there were more than 1,000, Boyle
said. The housing authority will reopen
the waiting list this year.
There is an expectation that the market
will level out and eventually there will be
something for everyone, Boyle said, but
the reason the Housing Authority exists is
because the market doesnt sort itself out.
We have plenty of subsidized housing
in Calvert, said President of Built Rite
Home Developers, Inc., Anthony Williams. What we dont have is affordable
housing.
The world is kind of set up for a two
income household, Boyle said.
When he was growing up, getting an
apartment and setting up housekeeping
on your own was a rite of passage similar
to getting a drivers license or a first car.
The change in the availability of affordable starter housing has been gradual.
It wasnt like someone threw a switch
sometime in 1987, Boyle said, adding
that the most dramatic increases in housing prices have occurred since 2008.
In other jurisdictions, the county government has applied for grant money to
renovate and rehabilitate existing housing to create affordable housing. The

problem is, in Calvert, there is no existing housing that the county can take on,
Hoffman said.
Williams has been working on a plan
for the past few years to offer housing options to people who are not ready, or able,
to buy a house but are ready to move out
of their parents homes.
They always seem to be leaving the
children out who graduate from college
and high school and want to be here,
Williams said, explaining that both of
his children wanted to remain in Calvert
after they graduated from college, but
couldnt find affordable starter situations.
Both moved back to the county when
they were ready to start a family and had
the money to purchase a house.
Williams has submitted plan to build
four four-floor apartment buildings in
Prince Frederick, which would house 230
units. The apartments would be similar
to the Apartments of Wildewood in California, Md., and a number of buildings in
Charles County. Every jurisdiction but
Calvert has some form of high density,
affordably housing that does not fall under the housing authority and is not subsidized, Williams said.
The new apartments would not be subsidized housing, Williams said. They
would go for market value, between
$1,300 and $1,600 per month, he said.
In a similar project, the Housing Authority received a five-acre piece of property in 2011 to build affordable housing.
A small cottage community was designed, Boyle said, with approximately
We have plenty of
subsidized housing
in Calvert. What
we dont have is
affordable housing.
30 homes that would be sold for between

$160,000 and $220,000 each.
One of the biggest roadblocks for each
project has been the Transferred Development Rights (TDR) program. The program, designed to preserve land and centralize development in designated town
centers, requires that potential developers purchase five TDRs for every unit
above one per acre. With TDRs being
approximately $5,000 each, this quickly
makes building high-density housing,
such as apartments and townhouses, cost
prohibitive for developers.
The county is currently working on
re-vamping the TDR program to make it
more user friendly, said Director of Community Planning and Building Tom Barnett. The challenge is doing so in a way
that doesnt completely dismantle the
program, which has been a template for
similar state and national TDR programs.
In a recent recommendation to the
Calvert Board of County Commissioners, Community Planning and Building recommended changing the number
of TDRs required to build high density
housing, requiring three TDRs for single
family homes under 10,000 square feet,
two for attached dwellings such as townhouses and duplexes, and one TDR per
multifamily dwelling, which would include apartment buildings, Barnett said.
Additionally, there are plans to expand the town centers with public water
and sewer capabilities (Prince Frederick,
Lusby, and Solomons) to encourage additional high-density housing. The county
is currently seeking a contractor to assist
with an overhaul of Calverts comprehensive plan and zoning ordinances.
The largest need is for the community
to be involved, Barnett said. This includes
coming out on election days, attending to
government meetings, or even writing in
to the county commissioners and Community Planning and Building. The more
input they get, the more closely the county can align future progress to the desires
of the community, Barnett said.

Education
Calvert Library Receives Curiosity Grant
Calvert Library is the recipient

of a $7,500 Curiosity Creates grant
from the Association for Library
Service to Children (ALSC) to support creativity programming. Over
400 United States libraries applied
and 79 grants were awarded. The
funding was made possible by a generous donation from Disney. Other
Maryland libraries receiving grants
include Baltimore County, Carroll
County and St. Marys County.
As noted by ALSC president, Andrew Medlar,
Children are naturally curious and the act of creating is vital
to their development, so ALSC is
particularly grateful to Disney and
especially excited to offer this incredible opportunity to support our
members work in public libraries,
where families can engage their creativity unlike anyplace else in the
community.
According to Calvert Library Director Carrie Plymire, creativity is
a critical skill needed to survive in
our world where innovation is king.
Creativity allows us to recognize
needs, to see challenges in a new
light and to problem-solve with fresh
approaches. Fortunately, research
has now demonstrated that creativity can be taught. Thats what were
doing at the library.
Calvert Library is partnering with
PaxSpace, Inc. to offer a four-part
series of classes to teach the components of creativityimagination,
originality, flexibility, decisionmaking, communication, self-expression, collaboration, motivation,
action and movement. Plymire said,
Weve developed a great partnership with PaxSpace and love the fun
their members are able to bring to
learning. Keeping learning fun and
driving curiosity are important to
Calvert Library so it was a natural
partnership. PaxSpace is a nonprofit, member-operated Makerspace
based in California, Md. They offer
collaborative workspaces, tools and
equipment related to art and technology. Their location currently houses
electronics space, wood shop space
and metal shop space. Their members provide inexpensive classes
open to the community on tools,
computer coding, 3D design software and more.
Some examples of easy activities
to encourage creativity are creating
a list of as many crazy uses as you
can think of for a paper clip, telling The Three Little Pigs from the
wolfs perspective, creating makebelieve worlds complete with new
rules for physics, or coming up with
ways that two seemingly very different things are alike, like cats and icebergs. Each of these activities helps
develop a component of creativity and may appear in the Curiosity
Workshop series.
In addition to funding the series,
the Curiosity Creates grant will allow Calvert Library to purchase a
wide variety of toys, materials and
prototyping tools that will encourage all ages to give their creativity
free reign. Some of the items expected to be featured in this Curiosity Collection include Keva planks,
Raspberry pis, Lego Mindstorms,

SparkFun Inventors Kit, graph paper, duct tape, Arduinos and even
a 3D printer. There will be opportunities of library users of all ages
to come be creative, said Calvert
Library Public Relations Coordinator Robyn Truslow. Calvert Library
will be looking at how other libraries utilize 3D printers and hopes are
to implement it by the beginning of
2016.
To stimulate the creative process,
there will be a Challenge Notebook
that will include a variety of scenarios for which visitors will be able to
offer solutions, perhaps prototyping
with the materials in the Curiosity
Collection. The challenges might be
real-world like Come up with five
ways to keep deer out of the garden
and share the pros and cons of each
way; or they may be more futuristic
like Your world is flooded. What
will your living arrangements look
like? How will you feed yourself?
Library customers will be encouraged to add their own challenges to
the notebook. Exciting challenges
and solutions will be posted on the
library Facebook page. And while
the grant focuses on ages 6 to 14,
Calvert Library is encouraging innovators of all ages to join in.
Plymire added, The library has
always provided resources for problem-solving, whether it be for individuals or community. We start as
early as infancy with our Imagination Stations which encourage creative play. We continue with lifelong
learning opportunities for all ages.
With this project, were taking it a
couple steps further. According to
the research paper on which the curriculum for the Curiosity Workshop
series is based, children, especially
before 4th grade, are actually better able than adults to think outside
the box and come up with creative
solutions to sticky problems. Calvert
Library Youth Coordinator Beverly
Allyn Izzi puts the research in laymans terms. Young children are
much less influenced by peer pressure and getting the answer right.
Thats why a five-year-old can carry
on a detailed conversation at a teddy
bear tea party and why a big, empty
cardboard box can become almost
anything! If we can all learn to nurture creativity by encouraging skills
such as flexibility, self-expression,
collaboration... we will have a much
more resilient and innovative population prepared to solve the problems
of the future.

Creativity Meets
Metal at Annmarie
By Donesha Chew
Contributing Writer
Annmarie Sculpture Garden and Arts Center

wanted to expand their classes and they wanted a class
dealing with metal smithing. They reached out to me to
teach the class so I did, and the class is called Stackable
Sterling Silver Rings, said instructor Tricia Hall of her
class at Annmarie Sculpture Garden and Art Center.
Annmarie Sculpture Garden and Arts Center is
hosting an event called Stackable Sterling Silver Rings.
They have actually offered this class before but it
really never held together as it is now, said Hall.
Hall owns her own shop in Calvert County called
The Bead Boutique, started in 2003. Tricia has
been teaching through Calvert County and St. Marys
County Parks and Recreation programs and ever since
then she has emerged herself in classes from master
jewelers around the county. She began metal smithing
classes 32 years ago and started stringing 26 years ago.
Now she has had her jewelry in several art galleries in
Calvert and St. Marys counties, as well as at Artsfest.
Annmarie is an area surrounded by 30 acres of
ground supported by the Board of Calvert County
Commissioners and they are committed to connecting
people to art with nature through a wide variety of engaging exhibits, programs, classes, public projects, and
annual events, Annmarie opens up opportunities for

creativity, collaboration, and reflection. By providing
opportunities for visitors to experience and engage in
imaginative activities, Annmarie seeks to nurture the
human spirit and contribute to a healthy society.
If people in the community take this class then they
will learn basic metal jewelry techniques (metal smithing, torch soldering, texturizing) to create four different ring designs. Each kit includes supplies to create 4
rings per person, said Hall.
There is no experience needed for this class. This
class is just for fun and to learn something new, thats
why Annmarie wanted to start it because people are
being engaged with art by taking creative classes.
Annmarie felt that if the people in the community
came to this class, then they would learn something
new out of it and thats very creative and they could
maybe do something with it, said Hall.
This class will be held at Annmarie Sculpture Garden and Arts Center on Sunday, Nov. 1. It starts at 1
p.m. and ends at 4 p.m. For members the cost is $40 and
for nonmembers the cost is $45 and for the materials
fee is $40 due to the instructor at class. For more information, visit www.annmariegarden.org/annmarie2/ or

Former track champion Kyle Lear

closed the 2015 season at Potomac Speedway with his win in last Saturday nights
30-lap Kevin Cooke memorial Limited
Late Model event. The win for Lear, worth
$1222, was his first feature win of the season and his career 17th at the speedway.
Derrick Quade and Kyle Lear shared
the front row for the start of the event
with Lear zipping into the lead as the
field roared into turn one. Quade chased
Lear for 25-circuits and was attempting to
make a bid for the lead until he spun from
contention on lap-26. 2015 track champion
Daryl Hills then took up the chase giving
Lear all he could handle. A lap-29 yellow
set the stage for another epic Potomac finish as Lear and Hills ran side by side when
the green came back out with Lear squeaking out the win by two car-lengths at the
start/finish line aboard his Rocket no.151.
That yellow saved us, Lear stated during his post race interview. We had a leak
in the radiator and it was pushing water
on the right front tire and I was having
trouble keeping the car where I wanted it.
Lear said. I saw Daryl get along side us
and I was in trouble because we pushed up
a bit and he was able to roll the outside, but
I guess luck was on our side here tonight.
Brandon Long was solid taking third, 13th
starting Kenny Moreland was fourth with
Bruce Kane rounding out the top-five.
Heats went to Hills and Lear.
Logan Roberson notched his third win
of the season in the 30-lap RUSH Crate
Late Model event. Roberson started on the
pole and would lead the distance to take
the win steering his MasterSbilt no.17R.
The track was in great shape tonight
and we were lucky enough to start on the
front-row, Roberson stated. We planned
on going to Natural Bridge (Va) speedway tonight but they cancelled early this
morning and Im pretty glad we made the
decision to come up here tonight. Darin
Henderson, Darren Alvey, Cody Dawson
and John Imler trailed at the finish. Heats
went to Dale Hollidge and Darren Alvey.
Mike Franklin put an exclamation point
on his championship season with his win
in the 35-lap Josh Gass memorial Street
Stock feature. The win for Franklin was
his 12th of the season at Potomac and his
overall 30th of the season wheeling his potent ARC Race Cars no.74. Franklin outdragged fellow front row starter Stephen
Quade to the first corner at the start and
would eventually lead all 35-laps, pocketing the hefty $1450 winners check. Well,
our goal was to get to 30 wins and we got
it done, said Franklin. We were lucky
enough to start on the front-row tonight,
and we had the car pretty decent and this
is a great way to end our season. Quade,
Barry Williams Sr., Jasen Geesaman and
Walt Homberg rounded out the top-five.
Heats went to Franklin, Quade and Kyle
Nelson.
In support class action Wesley Givens
was declared the winner of the 25-lap Jim
Gardner Sr. Hobby Stock event as apparent winner Jerry Deason denied a post
race inspection. Ray Bucci and Ed Pope
Sr. split twin Strictly Stock features with
Jason Wilkins copping the pair of U-Car
events.

Twin Beach
Players Present
The Island of
Dr. Moreau
By Madison Griffith
Contributing Writer
This upcoming season is full of
spooky Halloween activities to do
around town. The award winning Twin
Beach Players (Best Theatre Co. Bay
Weekly Readers 2013) have been working on a play for the community to enjoy during the season. Their 17th season is ending with The Island of Dr.
Moreau to give the audience an active
experience of chills in their seats.
This thrilling and exciting play consists of the story about the distinction
between men and beasts.
The story starts off with an upper
class man named Prendick, who has
been shipwrecked in the middle of
the ocean. Prendick comes into contact with a doctor named Montgomery
that works for a ship which is set on
an unknown island. Once arrived on
the island, the captain of the ship and
Doctor Moreau refuse to have Prendick, so they decide to leave him. Instead of leaving him, the captain and
doctor take pity and go back for him.
Montgomery introduces Prendick to
