Calvert Marine Museum Ready to RenovateBy Sarah Miller Staff Writer

A contractor has been named, andrenovations to the Calvert Marine Mu-seum in Solomons are set to commencethis fall.

The $1.63 million contract for themulti-stage renovation was awarded toDesbuild Incorporated of Hyattsville, asapproved by the Calvert Board of Coun-ty Commissioners in a 4-1 vote at their Aug. 27 meeting.

Desbuild has renovated museumsin the past, said Museum Director DougAlves, and he is pleased to work withthem.

“They believe in the mission of

what we are doing,” he said.The museum raised $750,000 for the project. They received a $250,000 bond bill from the State of Marylandand Calvert County fronted $1 millionfor the project, Alves said.

Changes are designed to use spacein the museum more efciently with-out building an addition, according toAlves.

One of the biggest changes will beto the existing auditorium. The room isused approximately 50 times per year,Alves said. The renovation will seethe oor in the auditorium leveled andturned into a multipurpose room withremovable walls that can divide it or make it a 2,300 square foot room con-

tiguous with the main lobby, containingseating for 300. A larger space would be useful for private func tions, such asweddings, or public events, such as theannual PRAD festival.

The main entrance to the museumwill be moved laterally to allow thegift shop to expand. In addition to eas-ily seen renovations, the contractor willupdate the HVAC system and bring themuseum in line with the latest re andelectrical codes. Existing lights will bereplaced with LED lights, which are brighter and use less energy. One LEDlight can replace ve of the currentlights, Alves said.

Renovations are scheduled to be-gin Oct. 1. If the schedule remains thesame, the museum will be closed for acouple of months beginning in January.While the museum is closed, a heavy post will be installed near the currentside exit which leads to the Drum Point

Lighthouse. The post will serve as anadditional anchor for a planned secondoor expansion, Alves said. The secondexpansion would give the museum addi-tional classroom space, which is sorelyneeded, according to Alves. More class-room space would enable the museumto accept more students on eldtrips.The museum turns group visits away because they are overbooked , a circum-stance Alves wants to change. The mu-seum welcomed approximately 78,000visitors from 50 states and 21 countrieslast year, Alves said. The renovationswill allow the museum to accept morevisitors and groups, which will provideadditional tax revenue to the county,Alves said.

The newest shopping center planned for Dunkirk is movingforward with the Planning Commission approving an amendmentto the county’s water and sewer plan allowing for a private sewer-age and water system

The Shoppes at Apple Green is a planned 110,000 square foot

retail center at the Southeast corner of Route 4 and Ward Road inDunkirk, according to www.marrickcommercial.com.

“The Shoppes at Apple Green is located in the heart of Dunkirk, within walking distance of many other retail stores andofces. The retail center is planned to consist of one large retail building and three freestanding buildings,” the website states.

The amendment will go to the Board of County Commission-ers for nal approval at a future meeting.

The current Calvert County Comprehensive Water and Sew-erage Plan was adopted by the Board of County Commissionerson Oct. 18, 2011, and approved by the Maryland Department of theEnvironment on Oct. 11, 2012. Planned infrastructure for water and sewer for the County must be incorporated within the Water and Sewerage Comprehensive Plan before permits will be issued by the Maryland Department of the Environment.

Code of Maryland Regulations (COMAR) require the countycommissioners consult with the Calvert County Planning Com-mission when amending the Water and Sewerage ComprehensivePlan, and the Planning Commission must issue a statement that ithas been consulted and that the amendments are consistent withcounty comprehensive planning, according to documents pro-vided at the Aug. 21 planning commission meeting. Once textamendments are approved, the statement is sent to the Maryland

Department of the Environment (MDE), which then issues per-mits, according to Calvert County Water and Sewerage DivisionChief R. Wayne Raither.

The water and sewerage plan itself is required by COMAR,Raither said. The county sends annual summaries of text amend-ments to MDE and has to complete a total revision every threeyears, Raither said. The next revision will begin in spring of 2014and will involve employees from Water and Sewerage and theDepartment of Community Planning and Building. Once the re-vision is complete and approved at the county level it is sent toMDE, who sends back comments and questions before grantingnal approval.

Calvert County Public Schools saw an across the boarddrop in Maryland State Assesment science scores, accord-ing to an Aug. 29 press release.

Calvert’s grade 5 scores dropped from 86.5 percent procient in 2012 to 85.2 percent in 2013, and grade 8dropped from 87.6 percent in 2012 to 86.8 percent in 2013.Maryland state prociency scores were 67 percent and 71.4

percent in grades 5 and 8 respectively.“We have increased our focus on science in recent

years,” said Interim Superintendent Nancy Highsmith. “Werealize how important science education is for our students,our state, and our nation.”

This year, Calvert is departmentalizing academics ingrades 3 through 5. This means that instead of teaching allfour of the content areas - reading, social studies, math andscience – most teachers in grades 3 through 5 will either teach reading and social studies or math and science.

Calvert County elementary and middle schools con-tinue to meet ever-increasing student achievement targets,

according to data released today by the Maryland State De- partment of Education (MSDE).

“We are pleased that our schools are doing so well,especially considering that we are transitioning to the newCommon Core State Standards,” Highsmith said. “The factthat our students did so well on the state assessments despitethe misalignment between the new curr iculum and the stateassessments speaks well of our students and teachers.”

Each year, schools must meet Annual Measurable Ob- jectives (AMOs) in reading and mathematics, which are setincrementally between the base year of 2011 and the targetyear of 2017. The overall goal is to cut in half by 2017 the

percentage of students who are not scoring at the procientlevel on the reading and math assessments. AMOs are alsoset for each racial and special services group in each school.These targets help educators look at specic student needsand tailor instruction to meet those needs.

In Calvert, over 90 percent of the schools met their AMO targets this year. According to a press release fromMSDE, almost 62 percent of Maryland schools met their AMO targets.

COUNTY NEWS


Calvert County public transportation users willsoon have more access to the northern end of thecounty with the establishment of a new route fromDunkirk to Huntingtown, which will begin Sept. 30.

Transportation Services Supervisor SandraWobbleton said this route was offered a few yearsago, before the shopping centers, Giant and Wal-Mart were build. Now, with more shopping and em-

ployment opportunities in the northern part of thecounty, Wobbleton said the county decided it wastime to try offering the route again.

The applied for a Job Access Reverse Commutegrant through the Maryland Transportation Author-ity (MTA). The Calvert County is a subrecipient of the grant through MTA, Wobbleton said. The grantis $108,918 for the next two years, half of which issupplied by the federal government and half of whichis supplied by Calvert County. Transportation servic-es will supply quarterly usage updates to MTA and,at the end of two years, MTA will decide whether theroute will remain funded. If MTA decides to denycontinued funding of the route, the county has theoption to self-fund the route or discontinue it.

Running Monday through Friday, the new routeallows easy access to shopping, healthcare, employ-ment and more in northern Calvert County, includ-ing the Dunkirk Town Center, Dunkirk District Park and Fairview Library, according to a Calvert County

press release.Destinations served by the new route include

the Sunderland Park and Ride, Skinners Turn Road,Grovers Turn Road, Mt. Harmony Road and the

town centers of Huntingtown, Owings and DunkirkThe new route will have three loops in th

morning and afternoon, beginning at Calvert Pine

Senior Center at 7:45 a.m. and 2:15 p.m., then returning to the Sunderland Park and Ride at 8:03 a.m., 9:1a.m. 10:15 a.m., 2:33 p.m., 3:35 p.m. and 4:35 p.m.

At the Sunderland Park and Ride, riders canconnect to the county’s other northern bus routleading to Chesapeake Beach and North Beach.

Riders can board anywhere along the routeThey fag the bus down and the driver will pull ovewhere they deem it safe and either let the rider on owait for them to catch up. If they are trying to catchthe bus in an area that is not safe, the driver and riderwill have a conversation about where the rider cancatch the bus the next time, Wobbleton said.

One-way fares on the new route are $1.50 foadults age 18 to 59 and 50 cents for youth ages 7 to 17adults age 60 and over, and those with a valid disability or a Medicare card. Children age 6 and youngeride for free. Full-day passes and value cards with

preset denominations are also available.During Fiscal Year 2013, running from July

2012 though June 2013, the total ridership for anyform of public transportation in Calvert was 112,874This is higher than the 109,658 total ridership in Fiscal Year 2012. Wobbleton said the increase is due in

part to the low, stable price to ride the bus versus thrising price of gas.

Information on the complete bus route, fareand passes, commuter bus connections, service fothe disabled and more is available at www.co.camd.us/transportation or 410-535-4268.

The League of Women Voters of Calvert County will hold the thirdin its Town Hall Meetings Series on Thursday, September 12 from 7 to8:45 p.m. at the Calvert County Library, located at 850 Costley Way,Prince Frederick, Md. The meeting topic is “Public Transportation inCalvert County.”

All interested residents are encouraged to attend. The meeting isfree and open to the public.

“Our County faces unique challenges when it comes to transporta-tion,” notes Roberta Safer, the League’s vice president. “Many of our citizens live here but work elsewhere. It’s difcult to estimate demand

for local services or possibilities for extending service. To help investi-gate these issues, Maureen Hoffman, Director of the County’s Depart-ment of Community Resources, and Sandra Wobbleton, Transportation

Services Supervisor, will join us on September 12.”This series is intended to present points of view from concerned

citizens through mediated dialogue in an open and non-partisan setting.This meeting is co-sponsored by the Calvert County Commission for Women, Calvert Library, Mediation Center of Calvert County and theSouthern Maryland Action Coalition.

Founded in 1920, the League of Women Voters is a citizens’ or- ganization that seeks to improve government and engage all citizensin the decisions that impact their lives. The Calvert County chapter began in 1966 and currently has 87 members. For more information,visit www.lwv.org

part s including bunks, rollers, U-bolts, surge brake par tsand disk brake conversion kits are in stock. Accessoriessuch as chains, binders and ratchet straps are also instock. The store will adapt inventory to match the localneeds.

The employees are experienced on repairing trailersand will offer suggestions and advice if needed.

The new location duplicates the Annapolis store.

“Many customers from southern Maryland made the trek to Annapolis to buy trailer part s and grumbled about thedrive. This new store represents a few years of work”said Andy Juskelis the Prince Frederick store manager.“We chose this location near Routes 4 and 231 to servicea large part of southern Maryland. There aren’t many

places where you can walk in and buy a common trailer axle and all the part s that go with it to get you back on theroad” The company website includes a detailed listing of the parts including photos, specications and pricing.

The store is directly across from McDonalds on Rte. 4.Look for the “Trailer Par ts” sign as you d rive by. For

Michael Watson has taken over as Principal of Patux-ent High School in Lusby. After holding various positionsin the school for over 12 years such as history, physical edu-cation and alternative education teacher, football and baseball coach, as well as security, Watson said that he feels asthough he is settling into his new position well.

“Things are a bit different,” Watson said, “I don’t get tosee the students as much as I want to,” but he feels that that isdue, in part, to the fact that the school year is just beginning.

In relation to the students, Watson said that he hopesthat they will “feel free to speak their minds with me,” and“feel comfortable coming to me.” He feels that it helps thathe has been in multiple roles in the school and, subsequently,in the lives of the students.

“Highsmith has done a great job at moving the schoolforward,” Watson said.

He hopes to continue promoting a “family-like” atmo-sphere at the school. “The kids seem to be comfortable andthe staff works well together,” he said. While Watson said hemisses being with the students in a different light, he feelslike “the kids are adjusting”.

Being principal, Watson has taken on different respon-sibilities that have caused him to give up some of his older roles.

“I’m no longer coaching sports at all,” he said, adding“every chance, I’m trying to talk to the kids, asking about practices and goals.”

Watson hopes to improve on his relation with the stu-dents and staff at Patuxent High. He wants to add to thecomfort level with the students. “I want them to be able to

differentiate between talking as two people and talking as principal and student,” he said. “And that’s going to takesome time.”

Watson hopes to learn from the experience and adjustthings only as necessary. “Patuxent has a bright future,” hesaid.

New Appeal Elementary SchoolPrincipal Charles Treft has spent hislife in service and education – fromthe United States Marine Corps tolaw enforcement and teaching inWest Virginia before coming to Cal-vert County.

An Ohio native, Treft spent four years after high school in the MarineCorps. After his time in the service,

Treft taught electronic technology ata vocational school in Morgantown,W. Va., for seven years. When theschool he was working at laid himoff as part of a workforce reduction,Traft decided to go back to school.

While attending Fairmont StateUniversity for his bachelor’s degreein elementary education. He went toschool part time while working asa deputy sheriff in Preston County,W.Va. and support ing his family.

Treft heard about an opening inCalvert County Public Schools whenhe graduated in 2003. Calvert was thelast county he visited when consider-ing possible openings, though it washis rst choice for school systems he

wanted to work for. During his visit,he ran into the superintendent, who

offered him an interview at PlumPoint Elementary School.

“Everything just fell into place,”he said.

He spent the next ve yearsteaching fourth grade, then spentthree years as vice principal at Cal-vert High School and then two years

back at Plum Point ElementarySchool as vice principal.

He earned his master’s degreefrom Notre Dame University in 2008.He knew his next step would be as a

principal at an elementar y school.Traft looks forward to drawingon his experiences in the MarineCorps, law enforcement and educa-tion in his new position.

When he was growing up, Tre-ft’s parents took in foster children.He and his two siblings were ad-opted. His parent’s passion for help-ing children inspired his career pathand he wants to work with familiesand students who need help and en-couragement to overcome their chal-lenges. His parents made the childrenthey cared for “feel like they could doanything,” Treft said, and he hopes toinspire that same feeling at the stu-dents at Appeal. As part of this goal,

he challenges the school populationto “strive for excellence,” and invites

students to present the morning announcements with him daily and telthe school what striving for excellence means to them.

He encourages his staff and students to do “little things that brightenyour day,” such as greeting studentas they get off the bus or saying hellto somebody in the hallway.

best learning environment possible, Yannakakissaid.

The Tidewater School’s preparations for thenew school year were fairly extensive, with theHuntingtown based school going through a ma-

jor renovation during the summer.“It was time to freshen up the space,” said

Head of School Grace Yannakakis.The renovations included removing walls

to offer more classroom space, adding windowsand new ooring and moving a staircase to theother end of the house, making it wider and lesssteep. The school worked with Keen Construc-tion and Scott Galczynski Architects, both com-

panies Yannakakis praised for being able to complete their work before the students came back to school on Sept. 3. Teachers spent Labor Dayweekend putting the school in order.

Primary school teacher Robin DeLama-ter was in and out of the school during therenovations.

“It was really exciting to see it step by step,”she said. During a recent open house, her stu-dents settled right into the renovated classroom,she said.

In future years, Yannakakis anticipat-ed remodeling the kitchen and other smaller

improvements.The Tidewater School is an independent

school following the Montessori curriculum. Allteachers are trained in the Montessori method.

The school is still accepting registrations for elementary students. For more information, visitwww.thetidewaterschool.org.

Spotlight On

Horsin’ Around

Rose Farm Shows


Rose Farms in Calvert County is set tohost its fourth in a set of six, 2013 Fun andSchooling Show. Owner Linda Stanier de-cided to begin hosting these schooling showthis summer because “a lot of people withnew horses don’t know what to do.” Stanier said that these shows are a good “safe place

for people to get started.The shows are for riders of all styles butthe event is not like a typical judged competi-tion. In the show, there are sever events, suchas English and Western riding, obstacles,

jumping, and working equitation. Someof the events measure the speed at which ahorse is most versatile at its task. Because itis a schooling show, in this event, judges givefeedback to riders to help them better under-stand and measure their progress. Judges ad-vise riders on what to work on.

Stanier began hosting the events at RoseFarms, because she found that many riderswould travel between three and six hours tocompete. “We needed something more lo-cal,” she said. At these schooling shows, the

dress code is relaxed, and the classes are lessexpensive.

The shows are basically chunks of ahorse show, geared to show the rider howtheir training has progressed in comparisonto other show that they may have competedin. “Many riders,” Stanier said, “are veryintimidated to start competing in shows, be-cause they don’t know what they’re gettingin to.” She hopes that these classes can give

them a better idea of a real competition.“There’s been good feedback from our previous shows this year,” Stanier said. Shehopes to continue the shows next year aswell, but having four shows instead of six,“one for every season,” she said.

The shows are free to watch and beginat 9 a.m. There is both an indoor and outdoor ring, as well as a round pen. For those thatwant to pre-register for the event, the cost is$5 per class but $10 for same day registra-tion. The shows take place at Rose Farm,9450 Mackall Rd., in St. Leonard.

Gubernatorial Candidate

Plans Damage Control

STORY

By Guy LeonardStaff Writer

Charles Lollar, the Charles County businessman and Republican who gave thenHouse Majority Leader Steny Hoyer one of the toughest congressional campaigns in re-cent memory back in 2010, says he is nowseeking the governor’s seat of Maryland.

Lollar started his state-wide bus tour in Charlotte Hall Tuesday at the McKay’sshopping center — he was keen to reminda small gathering of supporters that he wasable to turn the tables on Hoyer three yearsago by taking away the incumbent con-gressman’s own home county.

Hoyer still went on to victory, though,in part by taking the solidly DemocraticPrince George’s County.

Lollar said he would continue to makeinroads whereever he could in PrinceGeorge’s and other reliably Democratic ar-eas in the 5th District, places he said Repub-licans often refused to go more than once.

Still it was his victories back in 2010that encouraged him to take up the politicalght once again, he said.

“Without St. Mary’s County… wewould not be running,” Lollar said. “Whathappened in St. Mary’s County blew meaway.”

Lollar railed against the current ad-ministration, saying that Gov. MartinO’Malley had presided over an exodus of jobs and industry from Maryland’s borders

while simultaneously pushing for heavier taxation.

“Only in Maryland can they tell youthat they’ve recovered 99 percent of jobsthey had before the recession... but thestate’s gone from 3.4 percent unemploy-ment to 7.5 percent,” Lollar said. “Some-thing doesn’t add up. Those days are over,they have to be.

“Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown should beashamed of running.”

If elected, Lollar said he would promul-gate a tax payers bill of rights which wouldinclude a mandatory referendum on any taxincreases that went over cost of living.

Lollar also threw his support behindschool choice in Maryland while criticizingthe administration’s attempt, as he put it, tochange the denition of marriage.

The O’Malley administration countsas one of its greatest coups the legalizationof same sex marriages.

Lollar said Republicans were notagainst same sex relationships, rather the at-tempt to change the denition of traditionalmarriage.

“We don’t attack people for that… butwhy would you want to change the deni-tion of marriage?” Lollar said. “What wecan’t stand for is redening words… thatare founded on Biblical principles.”

Lollar said the administration’s moveto increase power over local land use deci-sions, namely PlanMaryland, which seeksto redirect growth to urban areas and re-strict many residential uses in rural areasoverall, had to be stopped.

It amounted to government usurpationof property rights and voters had to be edu-

cated about the impacts of the plan.In St. Mary’s County, PlanMaryland,

along with new, stringent restrictions onseptic systems and the prohibitive costs of helping to clean up the Chesapeake Bay wa-tershed, have proven highly unpopular bothamong residents and elected leaders.

“What we have to do is stop PlanMary-land,” Lollar said. “Land is a fundamental,we have to stop excessive regulation.”

Lollar will face off against HarfordCounty Executive David Craig in the GOP primary; he said he was condent that hiscampaign would exceed the attention it re-

ceived in 2010 when he ran against Hoyer.Del. Ron George of Annapolis has also

stated that he is running for governor.“We’re not the typical Republicans,”

Lollar said. “We’ll win our primary.”Del. Anthony O’Donnell (R-Dist. 29)

said there were many Republicans who hadeither said they would run for governor or who are rumored to be planning to do so but the situation on the other side of the aislewas just as important to the overall race.

With Gov. Martin O’Malley’s termlimited and no incumbent in the race therewas a real possibility for serious inghtingin the Democratic camp, O’Donnell said.

On one side there was Brown, who hasthe backing of many establishment Demo-crats and O’Malley’s supporters, O’Donnellsaid, while Attorney General Douglas F.

Gansler has mounted an aggressive cam-

paign while raking in a substantial amounof cash.

“The Democrats are looking to have aknockdown, drag out primary,” O’Donnelsaid. “That could be determinant, there’sO’Malley fatigue and Brown is offering essentially a third term of his administration.”

The possibility for division amongDemocrats would only help the GOP nominee, O’Donnell said.

“Whoever our party nominates wilhave a good chance,” he said. “But no onefactor in elections is the complete picture.”

Todd Eberly, professor of political sci-

ence at St. Mary’s College of Marylandsaid a race between two African Americancandidates, Brown and Lollar, would garnera lot of media attention, but rst both haveto be nominated.

For Lollar, getting past someone likeCraig, who has also been the mayor ofHavre de Grace, would be difcult, Eberlysaid.

Despite Lollar’s experience in busi-ness, his natural public speaking ability andservice in the U.S. Marine Corps, he stillhas yet to win an ofce with real governingexperience.

“It all comes down to what qualieshim to be the chief executive of Maryland,”Eberly said. “What’s on his resume?”

Have you heardabout the Bayside His-tory Museum? Locat-ed at 4025 4th Street in

North Beach, Mary-land and at www.bay-sidehistorymuseum.org, it is going to sur-

prise you!I was surprised

by the objects that folks had saved and thendonated in our throw-away society, many

large and heavy. I was surprised by thequality of the building renovations to whatwas previously the North Beach Senior andCommunity Center (and the library andrst re department in previous iterations.)I was surprised by the extensive amountof donated labor by master craftsmen wholovingly and generously restored objects ne-glected for decades. I was surprised by thesuperb quality of the new works of art usedto interpret the past, including intricatelycreated models of buildings and carouselanimals. I was surprised by the breadth,depth, and professionalism of the exhibits.I was surprised by the high quality and va-riety of art, jewelry, and other items, includ-ing for children, available in the gift shop.In short, I was surprised by the extent of thecommitment by the town of North Beach,

the volunteers, and the Board members to-ward making the Bayside History Museuma place you will want to visit, spend timeexploring, take visitors, and revisit to seenew and changing exhibits.

Like many other museums in smalltowns across the country, it started as a

personal collection of memorabilia and avision to anchor the history of the area fromFair Haven to Plum Point in an increas-ingly homogenized society, through anunderstanding of the role the ChesapeakeBay environment has played in shaping thecultures of the bayside communities fromFairhaven to Plum Point, from prehistorictimes to the present. The original collector and visionary was Grace Mary Brady. Shecontinues as the President with a coterieof devoted volunteers. What she and theyhave managed to research, collect, inter-

pret, and display is intriguing and amazing!

They welcome your objects, your help, andyour story.

Take your scouts now to see the ex-hibit on early scouting and Camp Roos-evelt, the rst permanent Boy Scout Camp,in the U. S. Coming this Fall is an exhibiton Captain John Smith’s General History,

based on the rare original edition held bythe Bayside History Museum, which was

published in 1624, to inform the originalcolonists on how they might succeed in thenew colonies.

The museum is open and handicap ac-cessible 5 days a week Wednesday throughSunday from 1 to 4 p.m. through October when it goes to weekend afternoons un-til May 1st. A variety of hands-on familyactivities are scheduled, special badge pro-grams for Brownies and Tigers on up are

available, and additional hours for groups by appointment. In addition to visiting thewebsite, you may call 301-855-4028. Gath-er your group or your Scouts, go, and let meknow if you, too, are surprised at this gemwe have right here at home.

Washington, DC - An overwhelming three in four teachers and principals report regularlseeing hungry kids in their schools, says a new report released by Share Our Strength’s No KiHungry campaign. These same teachers and principals are spending more out of their own pocket to help hungry kids. On average, teachers who buy food for hungry students spen$37 a month— that’s about $300 per school year or about ve tanks of gas. Principals reporspending about $60 a month, which over a school year could add up to be the cost of severacar payments.

“Hunger In Our Schools: Teachers Report 2013,” surveyed more than 1,200 K-8 teacherand principals nationwide. As Americans gear up for back to school, the report highlights thon-the-ground view of hunger as told by public school teachers and principals. Some soberingviews of hunger in the study are balanced by educators’ optimism around a new program – ‘inthe classroom breakfast’ – that’s increasing academic achievement and reducing childhoodhunger at the same time.

Half of teachers surveyed say hungry children in their classroom is a serious issue—th

highest level measured in the four years of conducting this research. A teacher from Marylandremarked, “I have several children each week that complain about hunger. Hungry studentoften complain of stomachaches, have difculty concentrating and can’t focus on completinwork.”

Educators surveyed saw bright spots too. Nine in ten see breakfast as key to turninthe tides on hunger and achievement. Many identied creative approaches to serving schoo breakfast as a critical part of any effort to help children.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) administers the National School LunchProgram and the School Breakfast Program, both of which offer free and reduced-price mealto low-income students. However, of the number of low-income students who eat a free oreduced-price school lunch (21 million), only about half currently also eat a school breakfas(less than 11 million).

“Closing this gap is critical to ensuring success for our students,” said Bill Shore, Foundeand CEO of Share Our Strength. “Pioneering community leaders around the country havedared to reimagine our current, ineffective model that breakfast must be served before schoolin a cafeteria that isolates kids in need from those who are not. Instead these leaders haveimplemented an after the bell, breakfast in the classroom model that’s effectively connectinkids to healthy meals, improving academic achievement, and stressing social inclusion. It’s

model that deserves to be reimagined nationally.”Teachers and principals in the new survey who have breakfast in the classroom experi

ence say they’ve seen improvement in alertness (76%), better attendance (57%), fewer disci plinary problems (54%), fewer visits to the school nurse (55%) and fewer tardy students (49%More than half of teachers report seeing behavior and health improvements in students since

implementing the program.“Importantly, these are benets that improve the entire classroom

and school dynamic,” said Shore. “Breakfast in the classroom lifts man boats.”

The No Kid Hungry campaign works to increase participation inthe School Breakfast Program by providing grants and advice that helpschools make changes to the way breakfast is served, setting up state breakfast challenges, and supporting local breakfast legislation. Thiwork is generously supported by Kellogg’s Corporate Citizenship Fundthe charitable arm of Kellogg Company, and Weight Watchers®. Sinc2011, states with No Kid Hungry campaigns saw an increase of 28 million school breakfasts served.

This fall, the No Kid Hungry campaign is building a map that paintan unprecedented view of how school breakfast programs work acrosthe country. Help us identify how schools are serving school breakfast swe can better target our work by going to NoKidHungry.org/BackToSchool and map your school.

ewsmakersMake Food, Not War


Whether out in the eld or home on leave, members of our ArmedForces always nd a way to serve. Jake Wilkins is no exception. He re -cently created Culinary Commander, an online recipe book created fromhis past experiences.

While home on leave for two weeks after being stationed in Afghani-stan, Wilkins said that he “needed something to do”. He created CulinaryCommander as a way to share recipes he has learned through travelingthroughout his life, with the public. The idea for Culinary Commander came in late June and on July 8, the site was launched.

“Cooking is my passion,” Wilkins said. After his time with the Armyis over, in about seven months, Wilkins plans to open a restaurant servingne dining in Southern Maryland.

“An area that will keep me busy a lot” is Wilkins’ goal. He has some plans for it already and hopes to begin the process and have it openedwithin two years after coming home for good Wilkins said that he wantshis restaurant to be different than most.

“My goal,” he said, “is to change the menu every month, using local products.” Some of the recipes from his site will be a part of the menu,

depending on the time of year.Culinary Commander also serves as an online store, selling differentkitchen gadgets, cheaper than most stores would. With products ranging in prices from $7.99 to $229.99, Wilkins sells equipment from KitchenAid,Hamilton Beach, Black&Decker appliances and more. His aunt, Wilkinssaid, was the one who originally came up with the idea to sell productsonline. “Selling” he said, “helps fund the website and the future”. Culi-nary Commander competes with other distributer websites, trying to sellhigher in kitchen appliances as lower prices.

While he is saving up to open a restaurant in the future, every month,Wilkins still donates 5 to 10 percent of the proceeds from his site differ -ent military fundraising events or projects, such as the Wounded War -riors Project. He does this “for my buddies that got injured on my tour toKandahar Afghanistan in 2012”. He feels as though donating is his wayof giving back.

As of right now, Wilkins has put up a variety of recipes on the Cu -linary Commander website including peanut butter cream pie, bananachocolate milkshakes, strawberry bread and grilled rib eye steaks withcitrus-roasted Chile salsa. He also has a Facebook page which keeps hissite up to date during renovations as well as posts special events, give-

aways and contests.For more information visit www.culinarycommander.com, www.

SENIOR LIVING

By Kimberly Alston

Contributing Writer

“I married a con-artist,” said au-thor Donna Andersen.

After being mentally abused for years, taken advantage of economical-ly and emotionally, Andersen made ither personal mission to make sure thatothers don’t have to go through thesame things that she did.

“Approximately 12 percent of people in America have a personalitydisorder that makes them unsuitablefor romantic relationships,” Andersensaid.

There are warning signs for “love fraud,” according to Andersenthat can help people avoid becomingused.

“Love frauds” according to An-dersen, are people in the world who pursue romantic relationships for the purpose of exploitation. These people,she said, are sociopaths. They pretendto love and shower their partner withattention but in the end, they use their

partners for their own gain.“Sociopaths are social preda-

tors,” Andersen said. The disorder,

she said, is highly genetic and most of them exhibit their behaviors by highschool. “People who get involved witha sociopath between the age of 14 and29 are far worse off than those who dolater on in life” she said. More often itis “their lives that are threatened andthey lose more money.”

In her book, “Red Flags of LoveFraud” Andersen discusses 10 signsthat someone could be dating a socio-

path. “Most sociopaths pull the samecrap,” Andersen said, “that makesthem easier to spot.” According toAndersen, generally sociopaths havea certain charisma and charm thatmake them appear more interesting tothe person they are pursuing. “Theystudy their subject,” Anderson said.

“They learn them so they appear to beeverything the victim ever wanted ina person.”

Most people see the signs of asociopath, but don’t know what theymean until it’s too late, Andersen said.

“Seven percent see warningsigns or have gut feelings,” she said.“All sociopaths lie and ‘forget’ to telltheir partner important things,” shesaid, adding that “’nothing’ is ever their fault.”

There are both male and femalesociopaths. If they know that they aresociopaths, Andersen said, they arenot bothered by the fact that they havethe disorder.

Andersen is giving a series of lectures in southern Maryland dur -

ing the month of September on lovefrauds, giving people the red ags be-fore it’s too late. “It’s a story that needsto be told,” Andersen said. Her goalsin these lectures are to get people toun-learn what they think they knowabout sociopaths –they aren’t serialkillers, she said, and to teach what so-ciopaths are - more likely to engage indomestic violence.

Andersen is being aided by Mar-

guerite Morris, founder of Leah’sHouse and For Kathy’s Sake, two or-ganizations that help victims of both

physical and mental abuse. “Aware-ness,” Morris said, “can help avoidthese situations.” She hopes that,through these talks, Andersen is ableto affect someone’s life by empower -ing and educating them.

Andersen will be speaking at theSt. Mary’s College of Maryland, in St.Mary’s City at 7:30 p.m. on Sept. 12.She will be at the George Forrest TechCenter, in Leonardtown at 6 p.m. onSept 13, and at the Patuxent Presby-terian Church in California, at 10 a.m.on Sept. 14. Ticket donations are $5 onThursday and Friday. These sessionsare geared towards high school andcollege students. Donations are $20

on Saturday, with a brunch providedand an added presentation by a panelof experts in the domestic violence re-sponse arena. All proceeds benet theshelters and victims of abuse.

Southern Maryland Electric Cooperative(SMECO) recently awarded a $100 gift card to Carland Becky Darago of Huntingtown. The winners

were drawn at random from a list of customers whohad a refrigerator or freezer recycled between March1, 2013, and June 30, 2013. More than 500 custom-ers who recycled their appliances were automati-cally entered in the drawing.

Mr. Darago explained, “We recycled a freezer that we had for many years. It probably cost us acouple of dollars a day to run it, and we just didn’tneed it.” As of June30, 2013, SMECO customer-members have recycled more than 6,500 appliancessince 2009. Customers who recycled their applianc-es have helped to save as much as 8,465 megawatt-hours; that is equivalent to the amount of energyused in one month by 7,000 homes consuming 1,200kilowatt-hours each.

Carl and Becky Darago of Huntingtown, Md., won a $100 gift card from SMECO in a drawing held for customers

who recycled refrigerators and freezers. For more informa-

Locally raisedSam Grow Bandis heading to thewest coast for their

rst headline tour,celebrating the suc-cess of the hit single“Wild Tonight” andan upcoming CDrelease.

The lineupfeatures lead vocal-ist Sam Grow, JoeBarrick on drums,Gene Quade on bass and backingvocals and MikeStacey on lead gui-tar. The band has been playing fulltime since 2008.

Much of theoriginal music has

been labeled as SamGrow, not the SamGrow Band, Growsaid. The band hassupported Grow’sindependent proj-ects, he said, add-ing “my guys prac-tically pushed meinto the airport”when he went to Nashville, Tenn.To record “WildTonight,” one of the rst Sam Grow singles tomake it into the national rankings.

The original music was always Sam Grow,he said, but bars began adding band at the endof the name to give it more crowd appeal. Growis grateful to the band, referring to them as his

brothers.“They’re awesome,” he said. “The only

reason I can do what I do is because of them.”The group will be touring the west coast in

style, using a bus donated by Kia of Waldorf.“We’re really blessed to have them as a

sponsor,” Grow said.During their tour, Grow is asking the

venues they perform at to provide the openingacts. This allows locals to see their favorites onstage, and gives smaller bands a boost similar to what the Sam Grow Band received early intheir career. They performed with Boston, Ron-nie Dunn of Brooks and Dunn, The Wailers,Jeff Scott Soto of Journey, Josh Kelley, TonyLucca, Ernie Halter, Sister Hazel, Kanye West,Bill Engvall, Ingram Hill, Todd Carey and Ke-aton Simons, according to the Sam Grow Bandwebsite.

Grow rst headed into the studio in late2007 to record “Ignition” with producer RonVento. That album sold approximately 10,000copies in one year, according to www.samgrow- band.com. Grow returned to Nightsky Studiosin 2010 with Vento to record a series of songsthat would later become the “Rainy Day in Para-dise” and “Stay The Night” EP’s.

“These highly anticipated recordings con-tinue to highlight the strength and range inSam’s voice while complimenting his heartfeltlyrics.

Grow released the singles “Lay You Down”and “Let’s Make Love”, which reached 13 and7 respectively on the iTunes Singer/Songwriter charts in 2012.

Grow then released the singles "Shot of Crown" and "Get Up" which reached 6 and 5respectively on the iTunes charts. Those singleswere released from the album "Reveal" whichcharted at 11 on the Singer/Songwriter charts.

Southern Maryland Gets the Blues

Gary Allan and Florida Georgia Line Shook It Up In St. Leonard

Chesapeake Bay Events, Inc. in coop-eration with Bob Hal1, Budweiser, Sher-iff Mike Evans and the Calvert AllianceAgainst Substance Abuse (CAASA) will join together in the creation of a DesignatedDriver Program for the Southern MarylandBlues Festival. The program will rewardthose abstaining from consuming alcoholfor the day with free water and sodas and thechance to win prizes.

Patrons will be able to par ticipate at theFestival by signing a pledge to stay sober for the day and get those driving with themhome safely. They will then receive a wrist- band that allows them to drink water and so-das free all day.

As part of the program, the festival willstop the sale of alcohol before the last act and

post the telephone number of local taxi cabcompanies and others offering a ride home.

"We want everyone to enjoy them-selves, but also want everyone to get homesafely!" states Don Hooker, Promoter.

The inaugural Southern MarylandBlues Fest is coming to Calvert CountyFairgrounds Sept. 7 and 8, bringing aweekend of blues music and good times,all beneting End Hunger.

Chesapeake Bay Events, run byfather-daughter duo Don Hooker of Dunkirk and Sarah Petska of Owings, is producing the event.

This team is the same that producesthe annual Chesapeake Bay Blues Festivalin Annapolis, rst held in 1998.

Hooker said he started original bluesfestival because he wanted to give back to his community. At the time, he owneda computer company and wanted to dosomething that would utilize the compa-ny’s talents without just writing a check atthe end of the year. Armed with the de-sire to serve and the opinion that blues is agenre sorely underrepresented on the east

coast, Hooker organized the rst festival. Now, 15 years later, he is ready to seewhat country-heavy Southern Marylandthinks of the blues.

“We’ll see if there’s some blues audi-ence in Southern Maryland,” he said.

As with the Chesapeake Bay BluesFestival, all proceeds from the SouthernMaryland Blues Festival will be donat-ed. In this case, End Hunger will be therecipient.
