The Calvert County Planning Commis-sion upheld the Prince Frederick Architectur-

al Review Committees decision to deny theCalvert County Rescue Dive Teams applica-tion for a 22 by 40 foot storage garage duringtheir Aug. 21 meeting.

This was the second time the PlanningCommission saw the issue, having sent thematter back to the committee at a previousmeeting because the committee hadnt had aquorum at the meeting when they originallymade their recommendation.

The review committee discussed thematter at their July 18 meeting and found thatthe application did not comply with two pro-visions of the Prince Frederick Town CenterZoning Ordinance. The roof pitch was inad-equate and it was to be built with horizontalmetal siding. The ordinance allows buildingsmaterials such as wood, shingles, stucco, splitface block and stone, but specically prohib -its uncovered cinderblock and metal siding.

The planning commission voted unani-

mously to deny the application.In other news, the planning commission

approved New LifeBaptist Churchs application to add a 6,978sq. ft. addition to existing structure, forChurch services/functions, according to

planning commission documents. PlanningCommission members expressed concernthat the parking at the church, planned to

be expanded with the building, would stillbe inadequate for the new seating capacity,proposed to be more than 150. Church rep-resentatives said they would consider thematter, and the planning commission ap-

proved their application.

Planning Commission DeniesDive Team Application

By Sarah MillerStaff Writer

New commissioners wont be electeduntil fall of 2014, but that isnt deterring can-didates from ling. Prince Frederick residentBen Krause joined current commissionerEvan Slaughenhoupt and David Gatton indeclaring candidacy for a seat on the Boardof County Commissioners.

At 25, Krause would be one of theyoungest commissioners in the history ofCalvert County. The Illinois native moved toCalvert in 2000. He has a bachelors degreein international history from Frostburg anda masters degree in politics and history ofthe west from Salisbury. For the past 7 yearsfor Calvert County with the department of

natural resources, a position he would resignif elected. He plans to get a second mastersdegree in law, focusing on constitutional andcriminal law. He considers himself a RonPaul republican and hopes to address issueshe sees with the budget and use of funds inCalvert County. Like commissioner Slaugh-enhoupt, he believes the budget build is notas efcient as it should be and intends to lendhis support to efforts to rene the process.

He believes the county governmentneeds to make more of an effort to educate

citizens and should be open to using socia

media and alternative methods to reach everyone in the community.

I want to see us stop stiing progress,Krause said.

The commissioners need to be mote actively involved in issues concerning Calverresidents, such as the gun rallies held duringthe last legislative session.

Krause formally led on Aug. 27. Theling deadline is 9 p.m. on Feb. 25, 2014.

Commissioner CandidateLineup Shaping UpBy Sarah MillerStaff Writer

Two work sessions during the Aug.

Craig Lewis with The LawrenceGroup and Jenny Plummer Welker withthe Department of Community Planningand Building brought the county commis-sioners up to speed on. In addition to thecommissioners, members of the public,county employees and planning commis-sion members, came to hear the update.

Following a ve-day charette dur-ing the week of June 10 through 14,an 11-member consulting project teamfrom The Lawrence Group and Fuss andONeil, in conjunction with County staff,worked to create a vision for Prince Fred-erick that encompassed all aspects of lifein the county. Members of the public were

invited to come to St. Pauls Church everyevening to see what work had been doneand voice their opinion about proposedplans.

The nal vision is a more pedestri-an friendly Prince Frederick, with openspaces designed for community gather-ings and residential inll.

Its longrange, saidcommissionerSusan Shaw,in favor of theplans. Wevealways beenabout whatsmark e t ab l eand preferablenow, but not

long range.T h e

L a w r e n c eGroup willprovide a nalpres en ta tion

book that summarizes the charrette out-come, including public input.

In other news, Division of Emer-gency Management Director Bobby

Fenwick gave a short presentation to thecommissioners outlining a proposed up-dated Emergency Operation Plan. Theexisting plan was last updated in 2004, hesaid. The commissioners voted to give theemergency management division the au-thority to take the updated plan to a publichearing to get community comments.

The plan outlines how the Countywill prepare for, respond to, and beginrecovering from a major emergency or di-saster that might take place in the County.It is an all Hazards Plan which means it isused to respond to any major emergencyor disaster, including storms, ood, earth-quake, industrial accidents, terrorism orhazardous materials incident.

ments, agencies and ofces as well asstate and public partners that play a rolein the countys plan.

The Calvert Village Marketplace in Prince Freder-ick will soon see drastic changes as ECHO Reality takescontrol of the property, having purchased it on Dec. 31,2012.

The shopping center already has a strong east endpresence with Safeway, but the west end is weak, with abreezeway meant to lead to the movie theater that endedup being wasted space, according to ECHO Reality Se-nior Vice President Howard Biel.

The shopping center redesign will feature a TJMaxx as the new anchor store on the west end, in addi-tion to smaller specialty shops.

If all goes according to plan, Biel anticipates demo-lition will begin in December or January, with new store

opening in the summer. With the new construction, thewhole shopping center will be renovated on the outside,Biel said, including new paint and cleaning facades.

The work will make a strong shopping center in aplace that is now a mixed blessing, Biel said.

United Way of Calvert Countys ofcial fundraisingcampaign season doesnt kick off until September, but theorganizations second annual Golf Classic at Twin ShieldsGolf Club on August 19 got the ball rolling by netting over$10,000 for its Community Impact Fund. Local businessesSMECO, PNC Bank, Constellation Energy Nuclear Groupand King Electric made a strong showing of communitysupport as major event sponsors.

To put this fundraising achievement into perspective,United Way President & CE0 Kelly Chambers breaks itdown. Ten thousand dollars awarded through our Educa-tion Impact Grants annually amounts to 20 underservedmiddle school youth equipped with the knowledge andskills to prepare for college, 8 abused children receivingintensive therapy to overcome their trauma, and 3 at-riskfamilies empowered to be their childs best teacher throughweekly literacy instruction with their children. The fact

that we can change the lives of more than 30 people with alively round of golf is just one of the reasons our Golf Clas -sic is so important, says Chambers.

The United Way of Calvert County (UWCC)GolfClassic kicked off with a rousing speech and tribute tosponsors from event chair and United Way board chair TomHejl. Hejl and fellow committee members Chris Moore ofReMax One, Clif Bridegum of Your Digital Salesman, Jen-ny Barrett of M&T Bank, Beverly Brown of Hilton GardenInn, and Karen Shields Keen of Twin Shields Golf Club,helped to secure 32 sponsorships from generous local busi-nesses and 18 teams.

In its sophomore year the UWCC Golf Classic gave

golfers a healthy start to the days activities with a breakfastof fresh fruit and homemade treats courtesy of Hilton Gar-den Inn followed by a power bar from interactive sponsorS.J. Johnson Propane & Fuel. The event brought a few sur-prises too, not the least of which was a giant blow up cow,which when struck by the golf ball resulted in free sand-wiches for a year from Chick Fil A in Edgewater. SMECOBoard Member, Danny Dyer, and United Way Board Mem-ber, Steve Jones, struck sandwich gold when they hit thecow with just one swing of the club. Throughout the coursewere other chances to win great prizes like gift cer ticatesfrom Sneades Ace Hardware, Solomons Island Tiki Bar,Twin Shields Pro Shop and the deni-tive gold pot at the end of the rainbow-a new Toyota Camry from BaysideAuto Group for a hole in one, whichone golfer missed by a mere 20 inches.

After a summer barbeque lunchfrom Maryland Country Caterers,participants tried their luck at doorprizes and competed in a live auc-tion for a Solomons Getaway pack-age from Hilton Garden Inn and asignature massage from JacquelineMorgan Day Spa. Afterwards, specialrecognition and prizes were awardedto this years team winners: Commu-nity Bank of Tri-County in rst place,King Electric featuring HuntingtownHigh Schools varsity golf team insecond place, and Scott Hills team in

third place. The applause continued for winners Tom Hejfor mens long drive, Megan Baburek for ladies long driveCameron Sydnor for mens closest to the pin, Renee Canonfor ladies closest to the pin and Chris Moore for the puttingcontest. Hejl concluded the day with a post on United WaysFacebook page, The Golf Classic was a huge success- thweather was great and everyone that participated said theyhad a great time.

Owners David Napierskie and Sandy Stallings arelooking to bring a new taste in cuisine to Solomons. Napierskie had described the menu as seafood with an Italianinuence. With Stallings passion for food, being in the industry for over 30 years, it is guaranteed that everything aThe Striped Rock is local and fresh. New food is brought inevery other day, Stallings said, adding that they very rarelyuse the freezers.

Food is my passion, said Stallings, Its important togive back to whats given to us. The Striped Rock gets its produce from local vendorssuch as Chesapeakes Bounty and Nicks Seafood as well as others in the area. Pricesrange from $7 to about $25, and the specials, which are served during the weekendsare based on what is fresh, available and in season according to Stallings.

The Striped Rock also has a completely different look from the buildings previous ownership.Napierskie said that theyve added a bigger kitchen. Youd never recognize it, he said. Weve completely gutted the downstairs, Stallings added. While

the upstairs part of the building still has the bar, due to its importance to the community, theyve moved things around and added new features, giving the space a moreclassy and upscale feel to it, according to Stallings. We wanted something moreclean and modern she said. Weve created a casual atmosphere with quality service.

The community has been very supportive of usNapierskie said, even locacompetition. Stallings added that theyve received a phenomenal reception, especially with the new addition of breakfast seven days a week, which theyve added.

At The Striped Rock, customers will receive fresh, quality food with little to nofried products. For a casual dining experience, the downstairs area is hospitable andmodern according toNapierskie, while the upstairs can serve as a more quiet andrelaxed sort of date night he said. Stallings said that a baby grand piano will be movedto the upstairs in the near future and a musician will be playing several times per weekas well.

The Striped Rock is open Monday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. a14470 Solomons Island, in Solomons. For more information visit thestripedrock.comor email the [email protected]

Calvert Library is looking for help from teens countywide tohelp make the library an awesome place for students of all ages tohang out.

I wish more kids thought it was cool to come here, said long-time member Maddie Buckley, a senior at Northern High School.

Buckley joined T.A.C.O.S. in her freshman year, along with sev-eral friends, many of whom have already graduated or are currentseniors. Her goal is to encourage younger teens to join the advisorygroup and keep it going.

Huntingtown High School junior Camden Raines joined thegroup last year and enjoyed the experience so much she came back foranother year. During her rst year in T.A.C.O.S., Raines was involvedin a cakepop war and played the role of a zombie during the rst everZombie Apocalypse in November 2012.

T.A.C.O.S. started in 2002 with funds from the Cigarette Res-titution Fund Program, according to library spokesperson RobynTruslow. At rst, they were pulling groups of teens together to askwhat they through the library needed. In 2006 students decided theyneeded a formal group and formed T.A.C.O.S., Truslow said.

Some of the rst events the teens planned were movie nights,she said, a tradition continued through the years. One movie nightplanned this year is an interactive screening of The Avengers, ac-cording to group adviser Tiffany Sutherland. This year is Sutherlandsrst with the group after volunteering to work with them. Every li-brary employee leads a group or two, Sutherland said, and she choseto work with T.A.C.O.S. because she enjoys working with teens.

The start of a new school year means the start of a new season forT.A.C.O.S. the teen advisory council of students. Students ages 13through 19 are invited to join T.A.C.O.S. to help plan events, amp upthe libraries social media presence and revamp the Teen Zone.

In preparation for their rst day of school, par-ents, teachers and students at the Calverton Schoolspent Monday at orientations, nding lockers andpicking up textbooks.

The school retained 87 percent of studentswho were enrolled last year, and added 76 familiesto the roster for this school year, according to Headof School Spencer Taintor.

New families are coming into a year of tech-nological changes for the school. Calverton isimplementing a new student information to allow

parents to check their students grades and home-work assignments more efciently, middle andhigh school students will be using turnitin.com tosubmit their essays and the lower school studentswill each get a personal iPad through the brandnew 1:1 iPad program.

Calverton expanded the technology budgetby 200 percent for the current school year, Taintorsaid. In coming years, all elementary school andmiddle school students will receive iPads, madeavailable through a lease agreement with Appleand at no cost to the parents. Upper school studentsare already required to bring a tablet or laptop toschool, he said. Because upper school studentshave more specic needs for their classes, such asart or nance, they will continue to bring their owndevices, Taintor said.

Making technology available to students at ayoung age makes them more comfortable as they

grow up, learning to annotate and work with digitalbooks alone.

In addition to the technological programs,Taintor said the schools new turf eld is nearlycomplete and will open in September, after beingdelayed due to rain earlier in the summer.

He encouraged new families to come talk tohim is they ever have questions of concerns.

My ofce is open to each and every one ofyou, Taintor said.

Patrick Shomo visited Calverton with hisdaughter, one of Calvertons brand new kindergar-ten students.

Calverton has the perfect mix of larger schoolamenities and small town, small school feel, hesaid, adding the staff has been helpful during theirtransition into Calverton and he is excited to jointhe Calverton community.

New Families


Our Lady Star of the Sea School teachers geared up fortheir rst day of school with a professional development ses-sion with Ted Haynie, a professor with Talson University whoteaches at the Southern Maryland Higher Education Center. Hetalked to teachers about differential learning, including stu-dents with attention decit disorder and attention decit hyper-activity disorder.

Its not that they cant pay attention, he said. Its thatthey pay attention to everything.

They discussed what makes an effective classroom and

the attributes of effective teachers in large group sessions andsmaller breakout sessions.

Our Lady Star of the Sea School Principal Deacon Chris-topher Jensen taught with Haynie when they were both at Cal-vert County Public Schools and was glad Haynie agreed to of-fer a professional development opportunity at Our Lady Star ofthe Sea. Haynie helps teachers focus on the positive aspects oftheir job and celebrate success rather than focus on the difcultparts of teaching, he said.

We need to remember that we got into it because we en-joyed it,

Stoneys: A Calvert County ClassicBy Sarah Miller

Staff Writer

Its pretty bad when you sleep withyour phone, said Stoneys Seafood House co-owner Jeannie Cousineaux-Stone. After morethan 20 years running the business with herhusband, Phil Stone, Cousineaux-Stone stillstays up late waiting for the end-of-businessnumbers and works shifts behind the bar.

Stoneys Broomes Island will celebrateits 27th anniversary at the end of September,according to Cousineaux-Stone. The crabhouse has come a long way since her husband

purchased a small shack half the size of thecurrent Broomes Island location in 1989 andopened for business.

Four Locations and Growing

Cousineaux-Stone came to CalvertCounty from Louisiana in 1995 and took a jobat the Rod n Reel restaurant in ChesapeakeBeach, where she got very close to ownersGerald and Mary Donovan. Phil Stone is aCalvert County native who wanted to start acrab house in the county. There were plentyin St. Marys County, Cousineaux-Stone said,and Stone saw several people he knew fromCalvert whenever he went to one. In an effortto ll the need, he bought an old restaurant inBroomes Island and, in 1989, opened the rstStoneys branch.

A few years later, Cousineaux-Stoneleft the Rod n Reel to work as a bartender atStoneys. Today, the two are married and the

business now includes an additional three res-

taurants Prince Frederick, Kingshers and

the pier on Solomons Island.Stoneys isnt nished growing. The

owners have been scouting locations in Vir-ginia Beach for a fth location. The new loca-tion would bring some of Southern Marylandto Virginia Beach, Cousineaux-Stone said.The new restaurant would feature local fa-vorites, such as Stoneys signature crab cakes,rocksh gyros and rocksh bites. Restaurantsin Virginia Beach claim to offer crab cakes,

but none compare to whats found in SouthernMaryland, Cousineaux-Stone said.

The original location is unique retreatfrom the suburban sprawl of southern Mary-land. For over 20 years, this location has beenserving our famous crab cake and steamedcrabs. This is where one can arrive by boat orcar and really relax beside the scenic IslandCreek. Whether you seek a romantic date or a

fun time at the tiki bar, Broomes Island is sureto impress, according to the website.

The Broomes Island location is only10 minutes away from the Thomas JohnsonBridge by boat, Cousineaux-Stone said. Likethe Broomes Island location, Kingshers andSolomons Pier are accessible by land and seaand boast a casual, laid back atmosphere. Alllocations feature doggie dining, allowing cus-tomers to eat outside with your best friend,according to the website.

The pier is the newest location havingopened 10 years ago, Cousineaux-Stone said.The Kingshers location opened 12 years agoand the prince Frederick location opened 16years ago.

It all kind of runs together after a while,Cousineaux-Stone joked.

A History ofCustomer andCommunity Service

Cousineaux-Stone believes it isimportant to be active members of thecommunity, and to be a blessing to thecommunity that allows her and her hus-

band to thrive.Its just what you do, she said.

I was always raised so you give back.Stoneys has hosted fundraisers

that raised $3,000 for Wounded Wearfor Wounded Warriors, $11,000 forShop with a Cop. One of the most re-cent fundraisers was a Luau for Hos-

pice, held at the Broomes Island loca-tion to benet Calvert Hospice. During

that fundraiser, Cousineaux-Stonesconnection with Mary and GeraldDonovan came into play. The Dono-van family donated the rst $5,000 tothe Luau for Hospice and offered valu-able advice from their years hosting theCancer Gala. Cousineaux-Stone said.

Cousineaux-Stone was asked torun for Mardi Grad Queen with theUnited Way this year, and will be host-ing a fundraiser at the pier location thisfall to benet the United Way.

Jeannie Stone is committedto her community and has a heart ofgold, said Calvert Hospice ExecutiveDirector Brenda Laughhunn. Thereare not enough good words to say, sheadded.

Cousineaux-Stone considers her cus-tomers family, as do many employees. Theymemorize favorite drink and food orders andkeep up lively conversations, contributing tothe relaxed atmosphere that keeps customerscoming back, Cousineaux-Stone said. Duringfootball season she, a Saints fan, is always out-numbered by Redskins fans. Her favorite wayof keeping customer, and coworker, razzing in

check is to threaten to cut off their beer supply.Even during the most raucous event she main-tains a measure of organization, making forsome controlled chaos but never complete

breakdowns.Continuing the family-like atmosphere,

Cousineaux-Stone calls her employees herkids. In return, several employees jokinglycall her mama. She recently hosted a babyshower for one of her longtime employees,who, now 35, started working at Stoneys whenshe was 18. Her employees know to pick upthe slack when they need to, and Cousineaux-Stone can be found behind the bar and wait-ing tables along with the most junior of heremployees.

Im not a desk person, she said. Sheprefers to work with and around people.

Some of her longtime employees havbecome integral parts of the business. BanqueManager Crystal Bowen and Solomons PieGeneral Manager Katie York have both beenwith Stoneys for 10 years. Between connections forged between regular customers andlongtime employees, Stoneys is an examplof social networking in person, York said.

Kingshers Owner and General Man

ager Eric Faughnan began working withStoneys when he was 18, as a job duringvacations from college. When he graduatedCousineaux-Stone and her husband offerehim a chance to help operate the business, anhe jumped at the opportunity.

Most 23 year olds dont have the opportunity to run a multi million dollar business,he said. To not take the opportunity would bcrazy.

Offering longtime employees a chancto take ownership of the business is a rewarCousineaux-Stone feels inspires the dedication needed to continue Stoneys success.

About Alzheimers Disease

More than 5 million Americans have Alzheimers disease, thenations sixth leading cause of death. Alzheimers is the only top 10

cause of death with no cure, prevention or way to slow its progres-sion. Deaths from Alzheimer's increased 68 percent between 2000and 2010, while deaths from other major diseases, including thenumber one cause of death (heart disease), decreased. One in threeseniors will die with Alzheimers or another dementia. In 2013, thedirect costs of caring for those with Alzheimer's to American societywill total an est imated $203 billion, including $142 billion in costs toMedicare and Medicaid.

86,000 Maryland residents aged 65 and older have Alzheimers.Nearly 10% of Maryland residents over the age of 60 report that theyare experiencing confusion or memory loss that is happening moreoften or is getting worse. Over 85 percent of them have not spokenwith a health care professional about their concerns. For those withworsening memory problems, one in four says it has interfered withhousehold activities and/or work or social activities. More than 48percent of Maryland residents with memory problems live alone.

Alzheimers disease places an enormous emotional and nan-cial burden on individuals and families. Last year, 282,000 Mary-land residents family members and friends provided 321 million

hours of unpaid care valued at $3.9 billion. More than 60 percentof Alzheimer's and dementia caregivers rate the emotional stress ofcaregiving as high or very high; more than one-third report symp-toms of depression.

By Kimberly AlstonContributing Writer

Approximately eight years ago Jeff Yeager was in-troduced to the world and dubbed The Ultimate Cheap-skate by Matt Lauer on the Today Show. Yeager is awriter who has dedicated his time to writing lifestylebooks that focus on improving your l ife if youre wil l-ing to spend less, he said. Yeager believes that, formost Americans, the quality of life would improve ifthey would spend less. He lives by the motto money istime explaining that money is made by selling time inexchange for it, therefore; the less money that is spent,the more time will be had.

Yeager has concluded that most Americans haveregrets about approximately 80 percent of the productsthey buy. Going by this logic, if people were more self-aware of how the products they purchase now could af-fect them later, they could save money be happier by notbuying them. Yeager argues that, north of the povertyline; there is no social science that money does not cre-

ate happiness because they have little to no correlation.Cheapskates, he said, value time more than money.

Back when Yeager was younger, he said that spend-ing money was kind of a last resort. Because hisparents were children during the depression, Yeagerremembers that, we didnt have a lot, but we alwaysseemed to have enough. Going off of that logic, Yea-ger challenges himself and others to ask the question ofthemselves of what would enough money and enoughtime look like, for you? Once that question is answered,Yeager said, that is the amount of money that they needto spend. Applying the same principle to his personallife, Yeager said, I may not be rich, but I have enough

to live comfortably.Yeager claims that he and other cheap-

skates like him have the mentality of notcaring what other people think of them. Hesaid that while some time ago everyone wasfocused on keeping up with the Jonesnow its gotten to the point where that is notgood enough and people are now trying tohave everything that is seen on television.Yeagers response to that mentality is onethat a fellow cheapskate said to him yearsago, The Jones can kiss my assets.

According to Yeager, Americans areconsuming 50 percent more stuff thanthey were 50 years ago. That applies tofood, houses, appliances and the like. Yea-ger has calculated that an American babyborn today is projected to spend $600,000in interest over their lifetime.

We have so much, he said and itskept for a shorter period of time.

In response to the way of life today,Yeager has come up with a solution. Short ofa home mortgage, he largely refuses to take on debt. Ifyou cant afford it at the time, you dont need it, he said.For those wanting to take on the life of a cheapskateYeager advises to go on a scal fast. This means thatfor one week out of the year, go without spending mon-ey. At the end of the week, he said, three things will belearned: how much money can be saved in a week, howto spend/waste less during the week and how much greatstuff is available without money.

Yeager believes that the difference between himand others who have the same message is that if you

do this you are going to have a better life that you doright now.

Jeff Yeager will be giving a lecture on Frugal Living at the Calvert Library in Prince Frederick on September 5 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. His books, including ThUltimate Cheapskate Roadmap to True Riches will bavailable as well. Yeager participates in a weekly showon YouTube called The Cheap Life with Jeff Yeager awell. For more information, visit www.ultimatecheapskate.com.

The Chesapeake Biological Laboratory

Founded in 1925, the ChesapeakeBiological Laboratory has long beena national leader in fsheries, envi-ronmental chemistry and toxicology,ecosystem science and restorationecology. Located where the PatuxentRiver meets the Chesapeake Bay, CBLis home to approximately 120 scien-tists, graduate students and staff. Overthe decades, CBL has developed anational and international reputation forthe quality of its research.

Research is conducted at CBL in fourmain areas: F isheries, Ecology, Geo-chemistry and Toxicology. The fsheriesgroup played a pivotal role in researchthat led to the recovery of the stripedbass, and most recently the blue crab,in the Chesapeake Bay. They conductstate-of-the-art work on habitat use byfsh such as tuna, sturgeon and whiteperch. In addition to studying the Bay,the ecology group studies ecosystemsfrom Calvert County to the Arctic. Thesestudies focus on understanding how

previous changes in these ecosystemshelp in restoration and in forecastinghow they may change in the future.Many of CBLs studies have direct ap-plications for example CBL scientistshave considerable expertise in ap-proaches to treating ships ballast waterto minimize introduction of exotic spe-cies. The geochemistry group studiesthe fate and transport of elements andchemicals throughout the environment.These studies use sophisticated instru-mentation to measure trace amountsof chemicals in natural environmentsworldwide. Finally, the toxicology groupintegrates many of these disciplines tounderstand the harmful effects of thereleases of chemicals, such as crudeoil, into the environment.

The Visitor Center at CBL attractsthousands of visitors a year and is runby over 50 volunteers in the DocentProgram. Visit www.umces.edu/cbl/visitors-center-outreach for Visitor Cen-ter hours and tour schedules. For moreinformation contact the CBL OutreachCoordinator at 410-326-7640.
