After being named the newest pres-ident-elect for the Maryland Chapter of the American Planning Association (APA), local planner Patricia J. Had-don is looking forward to learning from planners nationwide and bringing her knowledge to Calvert County.

Haddon is an AICP Certified Prin-cipal Planner with the Calvert County Department of Community Planning and Building.

In addition to continuing her work with Calvert County Government, Had-

don will work with the current president in preparation for becoming chapter leader, assist in the guidance and coor-dination of committee activities and the creation of the chapter’s Development Plan and carry out any other duties as-signed by the president. In the absence of or in the event of incapacity of the president, the president-elect shall as-sume the duties of the president.

The APA hosts social and educa-tional functions for members and offers development opportunities for members to maintain their AICP certifications, Haddon said. Calvert pays for all plan-ners hired to earn the AICP certifica-

tions if they don’t already have it when they are hired, she said.

Normally, the president-elect holds the position for two years, then steps up to the position of president with a new president-elect. Haddon will be presi-dent-elect position for a year and a half, having taken over for a president-elect who moved and could no longer carry out their duties. She will be the president in 2016.

Haddon will be representing the county and the Maryland APA at state and national APA functions.

“That’s one thing I’m really look-ing forward to,” Haddon said, adding that Calvert County is admired for the long-term planning in the town centers, and she hopes to share her experiences in Calvert in addition to learning from other planners. She intends to bring back ideas to enhance operations in the Cal-vert Department of Community Plan-ning and Building.

She had to get permission from the county before accepting the appoint-ment, as is required for anybody taking a secondary position while working for the county government.

“This is an honor for me and an honor for the county too,” Haddon said.

County Administrator Terry Shan-non said the county is confident Haddon will represent Calvert well during her tenure as president-elect and president.

“We’re excited for her and proud of her accomplishment,” Shannon said.

Department of Community Plan-ning and Building Director Thomas Barnett echoed Shannon’s comments, saying the department is proud of Had-don and they look forward to support-ing her when she is the president of the Maryland Chapter of the APA.

Huntingtown resident Veronica Cristo beat nearly 300 speakers to come in third at the Toastmasters International District 27 Spring Conference International Speech Contest.

Contests are first held within individ-ual Toastmaster Clubs, then at area levels. Winners then move on to the division con-test, then to district. The winner from the district competition goes to the world com-petition, to be held this year in Malaysia.

At the district competition, speakers are some of the best of the best in the coun-try, they come together from large areas to see who goes to the final International Within District 27, there are 112 Clubs, subdivided into 6 Divisions, and 23 Areas. There are about 2,400 Toastmasters in Dis-trict 27, and it is estimated that 300 com-peted in the International Speech Contests in District 27 Clubs. Six finalists spoke at the district contest.

Cristo came in third at the district competition, held this year in Crystal City, Va.

Her speech, “Come and Get It!,” em-phasized the importance of family meals and the social aspects of eating together. Having meals together can promote com-munication and build a community, Cristo

said, recalling a recent meal with her hus-band and three children where they learned more about her husband’s experiences in the military. A speech she gave at an earlier Toastmasters gathering centered around her family’s pet dogs and their antics. She said she often draws inspiration from her family and from “beautiful Calvert County.”

Cristo has been in Toastmasters less than a year and hasn’t yet earned the “com-petent communicator” qualification yet, which involves going through the first of the Toastmasters manuals and achieving a number of goals. She has one goal left to finish before earning the title of competent communicator.

She is a Calvert County employee with the Department of Community Planning and Building. Her job requires frequent public speaking and she got involved in the Toastmasters as a work training program. Participating in the speech contests were a personal challenge to broaden her horizons, Cristo said.

“I’ve thoroughly, unexpectedly en-joyed the speaking competition,” she said, adding that she intends on being involved next year.

Calvert Memorial Hospital has received another grant from Susan G. Komen® Maryland to offer mentoring and survivorship support services at the Sheldon E. Goldberg Center for Breast Care. The SOS (Survivors Offer Support) program – now in its third year at CMH – provides peer emotional support and practical advice to newly diagnosed patients as they cope with the challenges and changes they experience during treatment.

SOS also offers a partner support workshop for spouses, significant others and family members of newly diagnosed patients along with “Transition to Wellness” workshops for survivors evolving from treatment to wellness.

“We are very grateful to Komen Maryland for providing this grant that will allow us to continue offering these vital services to our community,” said Kasia Sweeney, adminis-trative chair for the breast center at CMH. “SOS helps make the cancer journey less overwhelming by providing essential information and a shoulder to lean on.”

Komen Maryland awarded grants to seven programs on the Eastern Shore and Southern Maryland. The funds support programs focused on screening, emergency assistance, com-munity outreach and survivorship services.

Calvert’s breast center brings together a team of breast health experts – including breast imaging specialists from Johns Hopkins – with an experienced navigator back by the latest technology in one comfortable and convenient location. The center is located on the hospital’s main campus in Prince Frederick.

“Our volunteers can offer insight like no one else can because they’ve tackled the disease themselves,” said Denise O’Neill, who coordinates the SOS program at Calvert. She is at the CMH breast center on Fridays but can also be reached by phone at 410-535-8731 or by email at [email protected].

The survivor volunteers have successfully transitioned

into life after breast cancer and share a desire to use their can-cer experience to help others battle breast cancer. O’Neill said matches are made based on the patient’s age, stage, surgery and treatment as well as interests and family background.

“SOS is a very flexible volunteer program,” she said, “It allows survivors to give back in a meaningful way in the capacity that they can. We ask them to mentor at least one person per year.”

According to O’Neill, volunteers typically spend 20-25

hours per year based on their schedule. “Phone skills are defi-nitely important. Most contact is by phone or email,” she said, “but we coach them to meet in person at least once.”

To participate, mentors must submit an application along with two signed physician referrals, undergo an interview and complete a 4-hour training program. “I’m always available to support the mentors,” said O’Neill. “They can call me at any time if they have questions or concerns.”

Calvert Cliffs, NRC Welcome Community InputBy Sarah MillerStaff Writer

Representatives from Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Facility and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission came to Prince Frederick for an open house on May 2 to answer any questions or concerns from the community.

This is an annual event, according to Calvert Cliffs Senior Resident Inspector Silas Kennedy. Some years, not many community members come out. Other times, like during the meeting right after the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster and when it looked like there may be a third reactor built at Calvert Cliffs, 20 or more people will come out.

The open house came on the heels of the shut down of unit 1 at Calvert Cliffs on May 1. Unit 1 at the Calvert Cliffs nuclear power plant automatically scrammed (shut down) during the

testing of the Reactor Protection System. According to a Calvert Cliffs Press release, “the shutdown was uncomplicated, with all safety sys-

tems functioning as designed.”The NRC Resident Inspector assigned to Calvert Cliffs responded to the control

room and determined preliminarily that operator response appeared to be appropriate. Our inspectors will continue to follow up on the event, including any troubleshooting and repairs.

Unit 1 was brought back online on May 5, following the successful completion of electrical maintenance work. Unit 2 continued to operate at full power during the brief Unit 1 outage.

A Calvert County Republican Candidates Forum is set for Thursday, May 15, at the Hall at Huntingtown (Huntingtown Fire Department). The Candidates Forum is sponsored by the Calvert County Republican Cen-tral Committee and supported by the Republican Women of Calvert Coun-ty, the Republican Women Leaders of Calvert, the Republican Women of Southern Calvert, and the Republican Men’s Club.

Four years ago these same groups came together and sponsored a very successful Forum at the same loca-tion when over 300 people attended. The groups are hoping to match this attendance again. The Forum is free and open to the public.

All Republican candidates --in-cumbents and hopefuls alike-- for Congressional, State Legislative and County offices are invited to par-ticipate. All County candidates are expected and most of the Federal and State candidates. From the hotly contested Congressional race to the locally charged commissioner races, the evening will provide a chance for all to hear those vying for these offices make the case for your vote. Over 25 local offices from the Central Committee to the Governor’s office are in play this year. The 5th Con-gressional seat is also at stake. Many

candidate bios are posted at the GOP website: www.calvertgop.org.

Political materials including bumper stickers and yard signs will be available. From 6 p.m. to 7 p.m., citizens have the opportunity to talk with candidates. At 7 p.m., the Forum will begin with Moderator R. Calvert Steuart, founding partner of Steuart & Steuart Attorneys at Law, and who is active in many civic organizations. He is also President of the Calvert County Republican Men’s Club. Fol-lowing introductions and brief re-marks by candidates, questions from the audience will follow.

Ella Ennis, Chairman of the Republican Central Committee and Cynthia Steuart, Chairman of the Candidates Forum, encourage all interested voters to attend the May 15th Forum, ask questions, and be informed citizens for the upcoming June 24 Primary. Free refreshments are available. Contact the Calvert Republican Central Committee for further information by emailing the [email protected] or calling 410-535-9100.

Sassy Shoppe Celebrates Fourth AnniversaryBy Sarah MillerStaff Writer

Since 2010, The Sassy Shoppe has offered creative and unique gift ideas, starting as a home business and expand-ing into its current Dunkirk location.

Owner Cynthia McGivern started The Sassy Shoppe in March 2010, her first storefront venture after spending nine years as a stay-at-home mother to four children. While at home, she began making hand-sewn gifts for family and friends. In 2007, McGivern purchased a monogram machine and started her own label, The Sassy Seamstress. She sold her creations in local boutiques and gift shops until March 3, 2010, when she opened The The Sassy Seamstress Bou-tique in Dunkirk.

Three weeks after the boutique opened, a fire started at the paint store next door. Although the store was not

damaged, all the merchandise suffered smoke and water damage. The building was compromised and would need to be renovated. This meant another opening and a new name – The Sassy Shoppe.

The shop has had an extensive selec-tion of products perfect for best friends, bridesmaids, birthday girls, graduates, moms, dads, hostesses, housewarm-ings, children and babies. There are hand painted wine glasses from North Carolina, Trollbead and a wide variety of candles, purses, wallets and trinkets. New items come in all the time, she said.

Anything purchased at the shop can be monogrammed free of charge. Mc-Givern will monogram items brought into the store for $8 per item. Gift-wrap-ping is available free of charge.

The Sassy Shoppe is available for parties. There are three types of kids parties, Paint n’ Pizza, Monograms and Manicures and Glam Girl, and a party just for adults – the Girls Night Out.

McGivern said she owes her success to the welcoming and supportive local community and individuals who shop at local small businesses. She is also grate-ful to her five employees, all of whom have been with her from the beginning.

In the future, McGivern hopes to open a second store in Annapolis, though she fully intends to maintain her current location.

“I want to stay true to my roots,” she said.

The Sassy Shoppe hosts a variety of community events to give back to the community. There is a ladies night every December and June. There are beach season and back to school monogram-ming promotions. Any teachers who come in on May 8 receive 20 percent off their purchases.

For more information, call 301-327-5041 visit sassyshoppe.net. The Sassy Shoppe is located at 10082 Southern Maryland Boulevard, Unit 7 in Dunkirk.

Calverton Teachers Learn About Environmental Preservation

and Energy ConservationThe Calverton School, in conjunction with Dominion En-

ergy K-12 Educational Partnership, sent three science teachers to the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) Confer-ence in Boston, MA. Through a grant sponsored by Domin-ion Energy, The Calverton School Teachers attended a STEM track in which they learned about environmental preservation and energy conservation. The Calverton School will be hold-ing a workshop this summer to share techniques and project based learning tools with teachers from other public and pri-vate schools in the Southern Maryland region. According to the Digest of Education Statistics, a recent study shows that of 2.8 million high school graduates, only one million move on to ei-ther a two or four year college. And of those one million, fewer than 300,000 are majoring in STEM fields and only 167,000 are expected to be STEM graduates in the coming years. The focus on STEM, both in the public sector and in the private sector, has gained national attention. Dr. Spencer Taintor was quoted in saying, “ We are lucky to be working with Dominion energy in bringing further awareness and tools to local teachers on the importance of STEM Education. The Calverton School believes that it is our responsibility, as an independent private school, to help foster the skills and interest in STEM fields so that teach-ers and students are prepared for the industries of tomorrow.” The Calverton School was awarded a Dominion Energy K-12 Educational Partnership Grant in August of 2013.

Spotlight On

A Second Symphony for Forgotten Instruments


Windy Hill Middle School student Olivia Hooe is working to give forgotten instruments a second life through the Forgotten Melodies Instru-ment Drive.

Hooe is a Girl Scout with cadette troop 1017 on the path to earn her Girl Scout silver badge. She plays flute and piano and is learning to play the picco-lo. When she began plan-ning the project to earn her silver badge, she wanted to give others a chance to experience what she has experienced with music.

During the month of May, Hooe will be col-lecting used musical in-struments to be donated to Calvert County Public Schools

To start, Hooe had to get her project approved and approach Kim Roof with Calvert County Public Schools for permission to put fliers up in schools.

So far, Hooe has collected seven in-struments and “a bunch” of music stands.

In addition to collecting the instru-ments, Hooe is collecting money to get them repaired so whoever receives them can begin playing immediately. Her first fundraiser was at the Fairview farmers market. She and a friend played flute while Hooe’s mother, Jennifer Kellner, passed out more than 500 fliers.

Calvert County Public Schools Su-

pervisor of Instruction for Cultural Arts Linda M. Patton is allowing Hooe to keep the instruments in her office and is helping Hooe find homes for the instruments.

Three drop-off locations are avail-able – the Northeast Community Center in Chesapeake Beach, Windy Hill Middle School in Owings, and Calvert Middle School in Prince Frederick. A pick up ser-vice is also available.

The Calvert County Historical Society – Preserving the Past for the Future

STORY


Utilizing a combination of volun-teers and donations, the Calvert County Historical Society (CCHS) is working to preserve the history of Calvert County for the future.

Current projects include finding in-formation on African American history and locating historical sites, according to CCHS Director Leila Boyer.

The CCHS is rapidly running out of room, Boyer said. They hope to get fund-ing for an interior staircase to the base-ment at Linden, which would afford more storage space.

The Calvert County Historical Soci-ety, Inc. was founded in 1953 by a small group of concerned Calvert County resi-dents. On May 5, 1954, articles of incor-poration were made part of the public re-cord which stated that the main purpose of the Society was to further the collection of historical data and records concerned with Calvert County and other materials bearing on the history of the State and Na-tion, including private letters, documents, manuscripts, early events and acts as re-corded in structures and works of public and private nature.

At the headquarters, visitors can find a wealth of valuable early county history. Gifts to the CCHS over the years have been varied and interesting, and have made important contributions to the un-derstanding of the uniqueness and rich-ness of the County’s history. The research library continues to grow in volume and diversity. Family papers describing first person accounts of historical events, wills, family Bibles, original manuscripts, pho-tographs, published histories and a grow-ing video library are but a small part of the collection. Portraits, pieces of furniture and artifacts have been entrusted to the Society’s care.

“Everyone who walks through the door has a story and a challenge for us,” Boyer said.

In addition to preserving items, vol-unteers at the CCHS help visitors with a number of projects, from researching fam-ily genealogies to collecting materials for school projects.

Currently, the CCHS is appealing to the community to bring in materials per-taining to the history of African Ameri-cans in the county. This could include anything from birth records to written ac-counts, Boyer said.

Former Calvert County Public Schools principal Chris Banks has been volunteering with the CCHS since August 2013. Signing up to volunteer was one of the first things she did after retiring, and since she has been helping expand the Af-rican American history section.

Banks has “been working on various

jobs dealing with our Calvert County Af-rican American Archives, and is always willing to pitch in when we need help in any area,” Boyer said. Expanding the African American archives is one of the CCHS’s largest current projects, Boyer said.

One of Banks’s first assignments was to compile information on local teacher and civil rights activist Harriett Elizabeth Brown. In 1937, Brown approached the Calvert County Board of Education seek-ing pay equal to white employees. Brown wrote to Thurgood Marshall, who came down to personally address the board of education. Brown finally managed to en-sure black and white teachers were paid equally, Banks said.

Another CCHS project is finding his-torically significant locations and getting signs for them marking them as such.

Board of Directors President Guffrie Smith has been helping find locations and obtain signage. So far, there are markers for Brookes Elementary School, the Wall-ville School, Mount Hope, among others. Smith sends informaiton to the Maryland Historical Trust for evaluation before re-civing a marker. The latest sites submit-ted to the historical trust are the Patuxent United Methodist Church, a building at the corner of Rt 231 and Mason Road that was an African American funeral home, Brooks United Methodist Church and the Masonic Lodge in Prince Frederick. The goal behind making historically signifi-cant areas is to get information into the community.

“If people know there’s a story be-hind it, it means so much more to them,” Boyer said.

Volunteers are a huge component of maintaining the archives and running the CCHS. Rosemary Dwaley has been work-ing to create a digital catalogue of items in the CCHS collection. Mary Rockafeller does all the filing in “the vault,” where there are files on families, businesses and even gravesites in Calvert County. Dwaley is the only one allowed to file in the vault, Boyer said. This allows for consistency in the files and ease of access.

Additionally, Rockafeller and her husband travel throughout the county searching for old graves and documenting them for the archives.

Huntingtown High School senior Malcolm Jordan came to the CCHS for service learning hours, required for his graduation, and stayed on to help tran-scribe the Freedmen’s Bureau records.

Jordan “helps in other ways as well, like doing some of the heavy lifting when we need it!,” Boyer said. “We’ll miss him when he goes to college next year!”

Jordan said his time at the CCHS has been a learning experience and it has been interesting to learn more about local history.

Former Department of Defense em-ployee Greg Stottlemyer has been con-verting interviews from cassette tape to DVD format, first working through a pro-gram on his laptop computer then with a conversion machine on loan to the CCHS. Doing the conversion on his laptop was time consuming and tedious, Stottlemyer said, and having a machine that can do the conversion and recording cleanup has helped speed up the process.

Stottlemyer is involved with a num-ber of volunteer organizations and said they become social groups. He enjoys his work with the CCHS and looks forward to his next project.

The CCHS went through a tough time following the death of the former archi-vist, who had volunteered in that capacity for 11 years and had a good deal of insti-tutional knowledge in her memory, Boyer said.

The CCHS hosts a number of fund-raisers and community events during the year, supplemented by events and dona-tions given by community partners, Boyer said. Community partners include Broth-ers’ Johnson, Inc., the Calvert Soil Con-servation District, the Community Bank of the Chesapeake, Johnson’s Bus Service,

Inc. and Rymer and Associates, CPA.The CCHS hosts a Brown Bag Lunch

Program from January through October on the third Thursday of every month at noon. Upcoming fundraisers include the dinner and silent auction on May 22 and a spring tea for members and guests on May 30. In addition to CCHS-planned fund-raisers, community partners hold fund-raisers and donate proceeds to the CCHS.

Funding goes to preserve Linden and to purchase items on the CCHS wish list.

The county owns Linden and the CCHS pays $1 per year to remain in the location, Boyer said.

The CCHS wish list includes a large, flatbed scanner to digitalize the large col-lection of Calvert Independent newspa-pers donated to the society and funding for an Optical Character Scanner, which would allow anyone to search digitalized documents by keyword.

For more information, visit www.cal-verthistory.org. The CCHS office is locat-ed at 70 Church Street in Prince Frederick and is open Tuesday through Thursday, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Caryl Chessman, executed 54 years ago, has been the subject of a folk ballad, two motion pictures and several books – almost all of them written by anti-death penalty activ-ists insulated from inner-city crime by secure buildings.

Chessman would have been an unlikely candidate for judicial reform.

The Chessmans were not atypi-cal of pre-depression-era families. Father Cerl and mother, Hallie, up-rooted from St. Joseph, Michigan to Glendale, California when Caryl was a child, believing the change in climate would benefit Hallie’s health.

Cerl operated a filling station. While not prosperous, the Chess-mans lived comfortably in the sub-urbs of Pasadenia. In 1929 when Caryl was 8, Hallie Chessman was left paralyzed from the waist down in an auto accident. Young Caryl’s nose and jaw were broken as well – leaving him with an undeserved arrogant, jaunty air. Coupled with a widow’s peak, his injuries conspired to give him a somewhat creepy appearance.

Cerl had to sell the family busi-ness to pay the medical bills. Caryl was dubbed “hooknose” by other students. He changed the spelling of his given name – “Carol” to “Caryl” to escape the taunts of classmates.

Chessman’s anger became directed at the ultimate author-ity figure – God. Too, ‘society’ was the conglomeration of all authority figures, and was the recipient of his anger, indignation and ultimately the cause of his antisocial behavior.

At the age of 16, he stole his first car. Before he could stand trial on the theft charge, he stole his sec-ond. Although he would later tell credulous reporters he got his start in crime stealing groceries, his real passion was stolen cars, not bread.

By the time he was 27, Chess-man had spent the great majority of his adult life in prison.

In January of 1948, the Los An-geles area was terrorized by a series of ‘lovers lane’ robberies. The mo-tius operandi was always the same: a man in a gray Ford coupe with a blinking red light of the type used by police, would approach a vehicle brandishing a pistol. In two of the robberies, the female occupant was forced to exit the car, and moved several yards to the bushes. One of them, a 17 year-old named Mary Al-ice Meza, sustained permanent psy-chological damage.

Chessman’s luck ran out on Jan. 23, 1948, following a clothing store robbery. He was apprehended following a high-speed chase.

An old .45 pistol and pen flash-light of the type used by the man the press identified as “The Red Light Bandit” was discovered in stolen Ford.

Chessman was charged with 17 counts including two counts of vio-lating Section 209 of the California Penal Code – a state law modeled af-ter the Federal government’s “Little Lindbergh” statue which provides for capital punishment if the victim of an abduction suffers grievous per-sonal injury.

At trial, Chessman insisted on representing himself. Against the advice of his court-appointed co-counsel, he foolishly packed the jury with women – some of whom had daughters Ms. Meza’s age.

In July, 1948, Chessman was convicted on all counts. The all-fe-male jury withheld any recommen-dation for mercy on the two most se-rious counts, meaning a mandatory death penalty.

Judge Charles Fricke sentenced Chessman to death in San Quentin’s gas chamber - twice.

During the trial, an event oc-curred which would make the Chess-man case the longest-running death penalty case in California history.

The court reporter died sud-denly. A relative of the prosecuting attorney - a notorious alcoholic -was brought in to complete the tran-script. The new transcript contained hundreds of errors – so many that Chessman could now claim that he had effectively been denied his right to a daily record of his trial.

While on death row, Chessman wrote three books. One of them – Cell 2455 Death Row – dominated the bestseller lists. Chessman was guided through his appeals by attor-ney Rosalie Asher. Although he re-portedly mouthed ‘TELL ROSALIE IT’S ALRIGHT’ from inside the death chamber, he never acknowl-edged her in any of his books – or thanked her when it mattered.

Time ran out for Chessman on May 2, 1960. He was given a fresh white shirt, as was the established custom in California. A guard re-moved his partial bridge before the chamber door swung shut.

But even as the cyanide gas, resembling cigarette smoke, rose un-der him, the phone rang with news of yet another postponement.

“It’s too late,” the shaken War-den said into the mouthpiece. “The pellets have already been dropped.”

The execution was too far along to safely stop. It was over in eight minutes.

The one-hour stay had been to consider a claim in Argosy maga-zine fingering another man as the “real” Red Light Bandit.

Viewers of the NBC telefilm Kill Me If You Can and readers of William Kunsler’s book Beyond A Reasonable Doubt? have been sold a bill of goods.

Kunsler strongly implies that

Chessman took the fall for a man named Terrnova to protect a daugh-ter. In fact, Chessman was any-thing but self-sacrificing, calling his bedridden mother to testify at trial, to cite just one example of his selfishness.

The NBC telefilm questions the identification of Chessman by his victim. As Clark Howard points out in his outstanding summary of the case, when Regina Johnson, the second victim, was brought in to view Chessman at the Hollywood station, he dropped his eyes, turned and refused to look at her.

John Gay’s screenplay strongly imples an unspoken romantic bond between Chessman and Ms. Asher. If Chessman was truly capable of loving anyone other than himself, those feelings almost certainly were not reciprocated by Ms. Asher, who died a spinster.

Chessman’s claim that police at the Hollywood station tortured him into confessing simply don’t hold water.

The station house was jammed with reporters drawn by radio broad-casts about an arrest. As for the

claim that police were under intense pressure to make an arrest because of “screaming headlines”: The lo-cal press all but ignored the Red Light crimes which received scant coverage.

As attempts to save his life failed, Chessman wrote of his pend-ing execution:

“I am not disturbed by outra-geous assurances that I am headed straight for the hottest and most horrible part of hell. Whenever and however it comes, my physical death will mean only a total cessation of consciousness. And if hell, by some one-in-ten billion chance turns out to be a reality, I am convinced that the Prince of Darkness will be taxed to decree a torture I would regard as merely an annoyance after my con-ditioning by the state of California.”

End of soliloquy.

With a heavy heart I read the lat-est Washington Post article (Terminal Neglect? How Some Hospices Decline to Treat the Dying) lambasting the hos-pice industry for not providing the higher levels of care: continuous care and gen-eral inpatient (GIP) when patients need it. Unfortunately, this latest investigative reporting by the Washington Post con-tinues its general thesis from a previous article last December: the hospice indus-try, dominated by for profit providers, is doing a lousy job.

In my years of working in the hos-pice industry, I have seen many for profits focus solely on the bottom line NOT the patients or service. Often compromising the quality of service provided to save a dollar or make one. Thus a bad rap for all hospices.

I am proud of the great care and compassion our hometown nonprofit hos-pice program provides. Calvert Hospice does provide GIP and Continuous Care Levels of Care. We have an agreement with Calvert Memorial Hospital to pro-vide (GIP) general inpatient level of care when deemed necessary. We have also provided continuous care on at least 2 occasions within the last 6 months alone. When the situation warrants continuous care and the patient agrees, we normally send the patient to our Burnett Calvert Hospice House. Again, our mission is to provide compassionate care for those

living with a serious illness and we are committed to our patients, families and service, not sales.

It is a complicated issue and hospic-es have been criticized when they don’t provide enough of these higher levels of care, as is the case in the Washing-ton Post article and criticized when they provide too much as cited in Compli-ance Program, Guidance for Hospices published by the Office of the Inspec-tor General (OIG). The article discusses both underutilization and over-utiliza-tion or billing for a higher level of ser-vice than was necessary as hospice risk areas.

Clearly this Washington Post ar-ticle and the previous one last December inflame negative reactions to hospice. What gets lost in the shuffle of this nega-tive publicity are the hundreds and hun-dreds of hospices that are doing amazing things every day to take care of patients and their families.

As stated by the CEO of National Hospice and Palliative Care Organiza-tion Don Schumacher, “There are two kinds of hospices in America: the ones that get it right, and those that should be out of business.” Calvert Hospice is proud to be one of the many hospices that DOES get it right!

Brenda Laughhunn Executive Director

Calvert Hospice

As we are approaching Mother’s Day, we should look at mothers from a Christian world view and see how they fit into God’s plan for mankind.

God has given women the incredible opportunity of continuing the human race by having children. Some women may not be able to have children, some may choose not to, and others may choose to have one, two, etc. However, there is a responsibil-ity that goes with that opportunity. In Luke 12:48 NASB, Jesus said “From everyone who has been given much, much will be required.” Regardless of how a woman be-came pregnant, God will hold each woman accountable for how she cared for the child in her womb.

On Jan. 28, 1973, the U. S. Supreme Court decided that what is growing in a pregnant woman’s womb isn’t a child, but a blob of tissue like tonsils that can be cut out and discarded. They issued the Roe vs. Wade and Doe vs. Bolton decisions that gave each pregnant woman (sometimes a teenager) the authority to decide whether

to continue the pregnancy and give birth to a child or to have an abortion and end that child’s life.

With the exception of children born to women who didn’t have access to an abor-tion, everyone in the U. S. born after that date is a result of a pro-life decision by the mother. Because of those decisions, many baby girls and baby boys were and are being born with the opportunities to grow up and become mothers and fathers. Also, many people have the opportunity to be fathers, grandparents, uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters, etc.

We should certainly honor all mothers, but especially those who became mothers after the Supreme Court decisions. They not only chose life for the child in their womb, but many have taken on the diffi-cult task of raising righteous children in an increasing sinful world. They deserve our respect, our prayers and all the help we can give them.

Outdoor entertaining is one of the joys of nicer weather. People routinely gather on the patio or around the pool when the weather warms up, and such recreational activities can foster companionship and re-duce stress. However, if nuisance animals and insects are sharing entertaining spaces, these pests can quickly put a damper on the festivities.

While it may seem impossible to keep an outdoor entertaining area completely pest-free, there are ways to keep such un-wanted intrusions manageable.

Identify common pestsYard pests vary depending on ge-

ography, so the first step is to figure out which pests are native to your area. Mos-quitoes can be found in many locales, but certain insects may be exclusive to specific regions. For example, palmetto bugs are native to moist, tropical areas, such as the southeastern United States.

In addition to insects, squirrels, moles, raccoons, and other rodents may also de-scend on a property. Neighborhoods that abut natural ecosystems or infringe on wild animals' habitats may see a wider array of animals encroaching on entertaining spaces. Deer, bears, coyotes, and certain bird species can present their own brands of trouble. Homeowners new to an area may have to experience a learning curve to determine which pests are common to a certain area, as well as which seasons bring which creatures.

Try natural repellents first

To minimize damage to the environ-ment and to protect local wildlife, home-owners should exhaust natural ways to re-pel pests before resorting to less eco-friend-ly methods. Animals can be kept out of a yard with fences and other barriers, such as thorny bushes. Many pests are deterred by smells or certain structures in a lawn

or garden. For example, inserting chicken wire into a garden bed may be enough to repel burrowing animals. Certain insects, such as flies and mosquitoes, find the aro-mas of citronella grass, basil and marigold offensive. Surrounding a property with these plants can create a natural bug re-pellent. Lavender and rosemary are other aromatics that may deter pests. Blood meal and soap solutions can repel deer and other wildlife that may feed on garden plants.

Pests attracted to food can be kept at bay with frequent sweeping or hosing down of the patio. In addition, maintain a clean grill and store trash in tightly secured receptacles.

Consider more traditional alternativesIf natural repellents do not work,

you may need to rely on more traditional products to repel insects and other pests. Beetle traps lure beetles with an inviting scent before the beetle gets trapped in a bag and cannot exit. Traps for wasps and flies follow a similar premise. Bug zappers are largely viewed as an inhumane option but can be highly effective. Unfortunately, these zappers also attract and kill beneficial insects, such as bees and butterflies.

Chemical repellents also are available. Stores stock pesticides that will rid plants of damaging insects. These repellents also may be used around the patio to make the area inhospitable to insects and other pests.

Contact an exterminatorIf the problem is simply too difficult to

manage on your own, then you might need to contact an exterminator, who can spray the perimeter of the home for bugs and can also be called in to safely trap and remove nuisance animals. An exterminator may also have detailed knowledge of protected species and which habitats can and cannot be disturbed.

Ziggy is a beautiful long-haired black and white tuxedo cat. He came to CAWL after his owner passed away. He is very sweet and affectionate and loves to be pet-ted. He was in a home with two beagles, so we are fairly sure he would do well in a home with dogs. Please come in to CAWL to meet this handsome guy. Ziggy's date of birth is April 1, 2010.

When was the last time you looked at the clouds?

The first art show at Cox Art Center, “Clouds Remind You To Look Up”, is designed to make you do just that. Local artist Lin-da Gottfried created a series of acrylic paintings featuring the sky, and clouds, in different lights and weather, from green tinted storms to the fluffy clouds she and her sister used to look up at and find shapes in.

She said clouds “inspire me be-cause it’s like God talking to us.”

Gottfried has been painting since she was a child. She remem-bers painting in the back of her classroom during second grade while other children were read-ing out loud. Her teacher used the paintings to decorate the class-room, Gottfried said. She stopped painting for a while when she was a teenager. She took a painting class during college, but didn’t really get back into painting until 2007. She was between jobs and her husband, Brad Gottfried, told her she had to make it productive or she’d regret it. Gottfried took the opportunity to begin painting again – she got a large canvas and painted a scene of an early morning sunrise for her husband. After that, she kept painting.

Gottfried paints scenes from all over Southern Maryland, aiming to capture the atmosphere of a mo-ment instead of creating replicas.

“I don’t paint exactly,” she said. “I just paint the feeling.” She calls her paintings “memoryscapes.”

Gottfried has known Cox Art Center owners Ray and Phyllis Noble for years. Ray was the medical director with Cal-vert Hospice, the organization Gottfried works for. Ray and Phyllis made a stained glass window for her house, and when they dropped it off, Ray saw Gottfried’s paintings and asked if she’s ever had a gallery show before. Gottfried hadn’t, and he suggested she make her first show the first at the art center.

“Clouds Remind You To Look Up” took her more than two years to complete. Gottfried generally paints on Sun-days while her husband writes.

There will be an artists reception at Cox Art Center on May 10, from 1 to 5 pm. The show ends May 31. The Cox Art Center is located at 32 Cox Road in Huntingtown.
