Calvert Alliance Against Substance Abuse (CAASA) provides $3,500 in mini-grants to local projects aiming at prevent-ing substance abuse in Calvert County. CAASA is a grassroots organization dedi-cated to fighting alcohol, tobacco and other drug abuse in Calvert County.

The grant has been around for about 20 years, said Candice D’Agostino, coordina-tor of CAASA.

The mini-grant program is designed to fund services and activities in school-based and community-based organizations. Grant application should include missions and strategies, a timeline, an outline of activi-ties, a budget outlining fund expenditures, the number and age group of those being served by the project, risks and challenges and how they will be addressed.

By the end of the program, CAASA re-quires each fund recipient to present a de-tailed report that summarizes the project’s outcome and evaluate its performance. Those who fail to make a presentation by the deadline will be ineligible to apply for

the mini-grant the following year. Five projects were awarded the grant

last year. Calvert High School Criminal Justice Program implemented “Lookin’ Out” activities that include school-wide alcohol and other drug prevention initia-tives. Patuxent High School Alcohol Co-alition Krew (PACK) used the fund to implement yearlong prevention awareness activities on school campus. Dowell El-ementary School, Mt. Harmony Elemen-tary School and Windy Hill Elementary School used the fund to purchase and im-plement the “Second Step” curriculum.

CAASA offers to help grant recipients achieve its goals through promoting its project activities and providing certificates of appreciation and thank-you letter to project participants.

Application deadline this year is 4 p.m. Monday, July 25. Grants will be distrib-uted by September 26. Applicants can download the application form from www.co.cal.md.us/caasa. For more information, call 410-535-3733.

Mini-grants Available For Substance Abuse Prevention ProgramsBy Dandan ZouStaff Writer

U.S. District Judge Deborah K. Chasanow sentenced Antoine Dewayne Savoy, age 35, of Lusby, Maryland, today to 10 years in prison, followed by five years of supervised release, for conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute powder and crack cocaine.

The sentence was announced by United States Attorney for the District of Mary-land Rod J. Rosenstein; Special Agent in Charge Daniel L. Board, Jr. of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explo-sives - Baltimore Field Division; Special Agent in Charge Karl C. Colder of the Drug Enforcement Administration - Washington Field Division; Chief Hank Stawinski of the Prince George’s County Police Depart-ment; Acting Chief Stanley Johnson, of the Maryland National Capital Park Police, Prince George’s County Division; Charles County Sheriff Troy Berry; St. Mary’s County Sheriff Tim Cameron; and Calvert County Sheriff Mike Evans.

According to his plea agreement and oth-er court documents, from January through July 2015, Savoy conspired with Colbert Juan Jones, Vincent Leo Fletcher, Troy Taishon Swann, and James Devwan Pixley, to distribute cocaine. Jones sold cocaine to his customers, which included Savoy and Pixley. Savoy and Pixley purchased co-caine from Jones several times a month and used at least half of that cocaine to manu-facture crack cocaine, which they sold in smaller distribution quantities.

Savoy often retrieved the cocaine from a home in Prince Frederick, Maryland, from

which Jones distributed narcotics.Savoy would either meet Jones there and personally exchange money for the cocaine, or retrieve the cocaine from a hiding place known to Savoy and Jones. Savoy would then leave cash in the hiding place, or arrange another time and place to provide money to Jones. Jones obtained cocaine from Fletcher and other sources.

Fletcher obtained cocaine several times a month from Swann and other suppliers. Fletcher distributed the cocaine to his cus-tomers for further distribution, and used some of the powder cocaine to manufacture crack cocaine, which he also distributed. Colbert Juan Jones, age 33, of St. Leon-ard, Maryland, and Vincent Leo Fletcher, age 29, of Clinton, Maryland, and James Devwan Pixley, age 26, of Waldorf, Mary-land, were each previously sentenced to 10 years in prison.

Troy Taishon Swann, age 39, of Waldorf, pleaded guilty to his role in the conspiracy and is scheduled to be sentenced on July 11 2016 at 11:00 a.m. United States Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein praised the ATF, DEA, Prince George’s County Police Depart-ment, Maryland National Capital Park Po-lice, Prince George’s County Division, and the Charles, St. Mary’s and Calvert County Sheriffs’ Offices for their work in the in-vestigation. Mr. Rosenstein thanked As-sistant U.S. Attorneys Michael T. Packard and Leah J. Bressack, who prosecuted this Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force case.

Summer is here and Annmarie Garden announces an exciting community art proj-ect entitled, Inflatable - Images & Inspira-tions. The project will continue throughout the summer and will be led by artist-in-residence, Hannah Jeremiah. Visitors are invited to participate in something bigger than themselves with the creation of this work of art that will inspire and delight.

The Public Art Project at Annmarie began in 2005 in an effort to engage the public and celebrate art and creativity. Hundreds of guests participate each year in projects such as the Wish Mandala, made of hundreds of wishing flags, designed to create harmony in the community and last year’s Modern Petroglyphics, a stone carv-ing installation featuring drawings from the community.

Jeremiah is an artist who lives in Balti-more, Maryland. She was born in Arkansas and grew up in the Connecticut suburbs. There she developed a curiosity about over-abundance, waste, and the unwanted--one earring in the stairwell, a pyramid of empty Snapple bottles, two leftover sleeves. For Hannah, discarded objects act as catalysts for flexible sculptures, installations, and performances. A graduate of the Maryland Institute College of Art, she has exhibited work at Artscape, Maryland Art Place, and MICA’s Annual Benefit Fashion Show.

For the Inflatable project, she will sew together scraps to create an inflatable that interacts with the outdoor environment. Visitors can help this project come to life by drawing a picture or writing a message

on pieces of scrap plastic and vinyl in the artLAB at Annmarie Garden. Inspiration can come from what you are grateful for, a person who makes you happy, or some-thing you love to do. “It’s great to see so many people contributing to this project already” says Hannah. “My goal is to have a structure large enough so everyone can walk inside to see their own artwork.”

Hannah will be in the artLAB most days between 11:00 a.m and 4:00 pm., so visitors can meet her, learn more about the project, and check on its’ progress. The community is encouraged to visit anytime the Garden is open and come back as often as they would like to participate; and then join us at Artsfest September 17-18 to see the fin-ished installation.

Participation is included with the price of admission. Admission is free for members; $5 for adults; $4 for military; $3 for youth; free for children 5 & under. For additional information, visit www.annmariegarden.org or call 410-326-4640.

Textbook is Fourth in Sail Education Leader’s Best-Selling Sailing Made Easy Series

Solomons – June 28, 2016 - Andy Batch-elor and Lisa Batchelor Frailey, Solomons residents and owners of Kinetic Sailing, have written the brand new textbook, Cruis-ing Catamarans Made Easy,just released by the American Sailing Association to na-tional acclaim. The book is the new official manual for its Catamaran Cruising Course (ASA 114). Focused exclusively on how to operate a cruising catamaran, the new-est book in ASA’s instructive and engag-

ing Sailing Made Easy series highlights the unique skills involved to operate a cruising catamaran with its distinctive characteris-tics and operating systems. ASA selected the Batchelors to write the book because of their extensive catamaran cruising and chartering expertise, sailing instructor credentials and writing style. The couple wrote ASA’s Bareboat Cruising Made Easy, released in September 2014, which dovetails nicely into the cruising catama-ran follow-on. “We worked with an excel-lent team of editors, photographers and illustrators on both books,” Andy said.

“We’re really pleased with the result, and we’re eager for our Cruising Catamaran students to use this book.”

“Like our previous textbooks, Cruising Catamarans Made Easy is illustrated with rich, detailed photos and easy-to-under-stand text to help students learn quickly,” said Lenny Shabes, ASA’s Chairman of the Board. “It offers invaluable information on how to operate a cruising catamaran, add-ing tremendous value to many facets of the burgeoning catamaran industry.”

Published in full color and containing best-in-class illustrations along with world-class photography from renowned sail-ing photographers, Billy Black, Nicholas Claris, Sharon Greene and others,Cruising Catamarans Made Easy was written by expert sailing instructors Andy Batchelor and Lisa Batchelor Frailey. The 90-page book was also co-edited by Peter Isler, two time America’s Cup winner and Chairman of ASA’s Educational Committee, and Jer-emy McGeary, a 30-year veteran sailing writer and editor. The book also features a foreword by world-renowned pioneer cata-maran racer, Cam Lewis.

Cruising Catamarans Made Easy is the first book to serve as a complete guide for the cruising catamaran sailor. It features a water-resistant cover, an easy-to-follow layout of two-page spreads throughout and an extensive glossary of terms. The book retails for $23.95, and is currently available

for purchase on the ASA website (www.asa.com).

“More than a course textbook, Cruis-ing Catamarans Made Easy is also ideal for familiarizing more experienced monohull sailors entering the evolving catamaran sales and charter markets,” according to Isler. “For cat manufacturers and dealers, it can be used as a sales tool to inform, excite and build rapport with prospective customers. And for owners and operators of catamaran charter companies, it should be placed in the cabin of every catamaran in their fleet!”

Lisa and Andy Batchelor conduct the ASA 114 Cruising Catamaran course through their partner ASA school Sail Solomons, located at Zahniser’s Yachting Center in Solomons Maryland. The high-ly acclaimed school conducts courses on their fleet of daysailers and cruising yachts for all sailing levels, from novice to ad-vanced. Sail Solomons offers a local sail-ing club membership, and winter courses and flotillas sailing the Caribbean waters, where they teach the Cruising Catamaran course in a live aboard environment. The Batchelors also offer ocean passagemak-ing courses on their Outbound 46 Ki-netic, and private “On Your Own Boat” instruction and consultation.

Thursday, June 30, 2016The Calvert County Times6

Longtime English schoolteacher Sandy Walker was appointed by Calvert County Public Schools’ Board of Education to be the Supervisor of Equity and School Improvement.

This position is created to provide stu-dents with equitable access to high quality and culturally relevant instruction, cur-riculum and academic support, according to a press release from the Calvert County Public Schools.

The schools have had this position off and on over the past few years, said Daniel Curry, superintendent of the Calvert Coun-ty Public Schools.

By investing in the position, the school hopes to show its commitment to ensure that all students receive an education that will maximize their potential and raise achievements for all by closing achieve-ment and opportunity gaps among student subgroups.

Two primary goals of the position are to employ more minority teachers and to close the achievement gap, Curry said. The main responsibilities of the Supervisor of Equity and School Improvement include creating equal learning opportunities for students, working with every school and

leading conversations about race and the role of race in school.

According to Curry, African American students make up about 14 percent of the student population while African Ameri-can teachers account for about five percent of the faculty population. The school aims to make the teaching population be repre-sentative of the student body.

The new position reports to the superin-tendent, Curry said. Similar to many other administrative positions, Walker’s perfor-mance will be evaluated annually.

Walker was an adjunct English teacher at Marist College and taught in Wapping-ers Central School District in New York, according to a press release from the Cal-vert County Public Schools. He earned both his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from the State University of New York at Buffalo.

Walker taught teach English for 14 years in Northern High School. Meantime, he sponsored the Teacher Academy Pro-gram and Minority Scholars Club. He also chaired the school’s equity team and repre-sented the high school on the district equity leadership team.

Education

Calvert County Public Schools gradu-ates in the Class of 2016 were awarded $22,220,254 in scholarships to continue their education at colleges, universities and other institutes of higher learning.

The scholarships range from awards pre-sented by local organizations to appoint-ments to United States service academies. Of the 1,245 graduates, 335 were offered at least one scholarship.

Dr. Daniel D. Curry, Superintendent, said, “Whether it is $100 or a full ride, our hard-working students will benefit from these awards.”

The numerous awards of financial assis-tance are in part a result of the school sys-tem’s partnership with Southern Maryland College Access Network (SoMD CAN). SoMD CAN provides support to students during the college admission process and serves as a clearinghouse for local schol-arships. The organization’s mission is to increase the college-going rate among the region’s high school students with specific focus on those students who are first gener-ation college-bound, in underserved popu-lations and academically talented.

Calvert Students Awarded Over $20M in Scholarships

Nearly 3,000 students representing schools from throughout the United States, surrounding territories and countries around the world gathered at the Univer-sity of Maryland, College Park from June 12–16 to compete in the 2016 Kenneth E. Behring National History Day Competi-tion. Two students from Calvert County Public Schools earned top awards.

Parker Nickels of Northern Middle School was honored with the bronze medal in the Junior Individual Exhibit category for his project “Brainstorm! William James – Pioneer of the Mental Frontier.”

Brian Holt of Huntingtown High School was honored with the U.S. Constitution Award, sponsored by the National Archives and Records Administration, for his senior individual website project, “The Iran-Con-tra Affair: Patriotism or Politics?”

Supervisor of Social Studies Rebecca Bowen said, “Brian and Parker worked ex-ceptionally hard on their projects through-out the entire school year and truly went above and beyond with their research and presentation. To say that that their projects were amazing is an understatement. When I first reviewed their projects, I knew that

Calvert County Public Schools was going to be a serious contender at the state and national levels.”

According to a press release from Mary-land Humanities, the National History Day program allows students to explore an annual theme through research using pri-mary and secondary sources and to create a final product to display their work. The 2016 competition encouraged students to contemplate “Exploration, Encounter, Ex-change in History” and select a project in one of the following five categories: ex-hibit, performance, website, paper or docu-

mentary. Maryland students competed in school and county competitions as well as the statewide contest Maryland History Day, which is coordinated by Maryland Humanities, before advancing to the na-tional competition in College Park.

Maryland Humanities is a statewide, educational nonprofit organization that cre-ates and supports educational experiences in the humanities that inspire all Maryland-ers to embrace lifelong learning, exchange ideas openly and enrich their communities.

To prepare this story to commemorate our upcoming July 4th celebrations, I asked several friends and neighbors if they knew a guy named Thom Johnson? Several said “Isn’t he a lawyer in Prince Frederick”? Others thought he might be a professional baseball player. Still others thought he was a politician up in Annapolis! They all may be right as I did not have time to check each one of those “Thoms” out! But the “Thom” I was looking for is actually “Thomas Johnson” for whom our “Solomons Bridge is named. And, as I learned from a quick review from my high school Maryland His-tory course, Thomas was one of the very first “great sons of Calvert County”. As an active revolutionist, he served in many capacities in support of the “Founding Fa-thers” who signed our Declaration of In-dependence. He then was elected the first Governor of Maryland, the seventh State to enter the Union.

Thomas was born to Thomas and Dorcas Sedgewick Johnson on November 4, 1732 in a house located very near the Patux-ent River at the mouth of St. Leonard’s Creek. He was the fourth of ten children and many of his siblings went on to raise large families as well. He married Ann Jennings and they produced a large fam-ily numbering seven or eight children ac-cording to several references; apparently one child died in infancy. Early Maryland was considered an “Agricultural” state and families were unusually large so as to help with the many family farms that sprung up prior to the Revolution. One interesting fact from his family history concerns his niece Louisa Johnson, a daughter of his brother Joshua who married John Quincy Adams and became the “First Lady” when Adams became our sixth US President.

As was the custom of the times, Thomas was “home schooled” along with his broth-ers and sisters. At an early age, he showed a great interest in learning the new laws that

were being formulated during our coun-try’s infancy. To gain a professional educa-tion, Thomas moved to Annapolis to study law and at the age of twenty one, earned his license to practice and was admitted to the Maryland Bar in 1753. His paternal grand-father, also named Thomas Johnson, was a lawyer in London before immigrating to America prior to 1700.

Gaining confidence and experience as a young lawyer during the turbulent years leading up to the start of the Revolution-ary movement, Thomas decided to become involved in politics and won election as a Delegate to the Maryland General As-sembly in 1762. The records from this pe-riod are somewhat confusing as one source stated he first represented Anne Arun-del County, yet another reference said he moved to Frederick, Maryland in 1760. I did learn through my research of this great “Southern Marylander”, his wife Ann Jen-nings was the daughter of an Annapolis judge. They were married in Annapolis in February, 1766.

He practiced law in Frederick for several years. [Frederick was a small town situated on the National Road in western Maryland made famous by the story of Barbara Frit-chie, the elderly lady famous for her con-frontation with the Confederate troops over the Flag at her home. She in many ways demonstrated the same determination and defiance of a Rosa Parks who later stood up to bigotry and discrimination]. As re-sentment within the British Crown grew throughout the Colonies, Thomas actually supported conciliation with Great Britain and was one of the last of the revolutionar-ies to “cave” when finally persuaded that his efforts were fruitless. He soon voted for the Declaration of Independence and became a member of several committees formed to draft memorials to the crown seeking redress of grievances. He was part of the organizing group that put together

the initial Colonial Congress. He represent-ed his State at the first Continental Congress held in Philadelphia. During the second Con-tinental Congress in 1775, he was given the distinction to nominate his good friend George Washington as the Commander In Chief of the Colonial Armies. The future President would later thank Thomas with a nomina-tion to the US Supreme Court and was con-firmed by US Congress in November, 1791.

Once hostilities broke out in force with the hated “Brits”, Thomas joined the Maryland militia and quickly rose to senior Brigadier Gen-eral, assuming control

of all of the State’s conscripts. He recruit-ed 1800 men to join General Washington armies and they fought brilliantly along side men from the other twelve Colonies. With his brothers, he further supported the War by manufacturing ammunition and cannons at a factory near Frederick. Their company, Catoctin Furnace, was located in a building now part of a State Park near the Presidential Retreat at Camp David, Maryland.

In 1777, Thomas became the first Mary-land Governor and was re elected twice in 1778 and 1779. Additionally, he continued to hold many judicial posts as well as po-sitions in the Maryland Assembly. He is credited with helping to construct the lan-guage of a Bill that established the regula-tion of the jurisdiction and navigation of the Potomac River, in the mutual interests of the States of Virginia and Maryland. At the Maryland Convention of 1778, he suc-cessfully obtained the State’s ratification of the United States Constitution.

He was appointed as the first Federal Judge for the District of Maryland, but de-clined this selection due to failing health. He later accepted the President’s appoint-ment to the US Supreme Court, where he served until January of 1793, but had to resign as a result of his poor health and declining ability to endure the travel hard-ships this position required. Yet, despite his brief term in office, the shortest of any

Justice that served on the Nation’s highest court [163 days], he holds the distinction of being the author of the Court’s first written opinion “Georgia vs. Brailsford” in 1792.

He continued to suffer from poor health and was forced to decline several appoint-ments by his good friend George. At the suggestion of Thomas Jefferson, he was nominated for Secretary of State, but was unable to accept this important role as well.. He did manage to deliver the eulogy for President Washington at a memorial service in 1800. He later went to live with his daughter Ann in Frederick and passed away there on October 26, 1819, nine days prior to his 87th birthday. He leaves a great legacy for his many years of dedication to his new State and our young Nation. He is buried in Mount Olivet Cemetery in Frederick.

There are many schools throughout the State named in honor of this great Southern Marylander. But the biggest recognition given to this Calvert gentleman is our 1.37 mile bridge that connects our two counties named for him when it opened to traffic in December of 1977. One can view almost all of our part of the world while cross-ing this fine tribute to our first Governor. Thomas Johnson, a person to know! I hope you enjoy this year’s Independence Day. It was made possible by a great many heroes such as “Thom”!

He loved giving back to his friends, family and community in all ways whether it was helping a friend in need with moving, handyman work, DJ services, etc. His sense of humor was spontaneous and on the mark for any occasion.

calvART Gallery Presents: ATMOSPHERES

Prince Frederick Shopping Center (Rt. 4 and 231, Prince Frederick) - Wednesday to Sunday: 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Five Artists share their visions in clay. Featuring works by Ray Bogle, Denise Breitburg, Marie Estabrook, Randy Esta-brook, and Adam Sampson. June 8 to July 3, 2016. Reception: June 11, 5 to 8 p.m. This show is shaping up to be a great show with many non-traditional clay forms, vessels and firing techniques. The artists are excit-ed about their work and are eager to share their visions with the public. Ray Bogle has been working with clay for over 25 years. His creations range from dramatic show-specific works to fun personal designs. His

contributions to the craft have included teaching classes for children as well as adults, developing a variety of forms and glazes, and perfecting techniques in the ancient skill of Raku. Denise Breitburg is a marine biologist at the Smithsonian En-vironmental Research Center with a deep passion for the beauty and the complexity of the natural world. She says, “Everything about pottery is magical – from the hyp-notic spin of the potters wheel, to the trans-formation of a shapeless lump to a graceful shape, to the mystery of colors appearing in the heat of the kiln.” Marie and Randy Estabrook are a married couple sharing the same passion for clay. “This is our creative outlet- Randy and I make beautiful ceram-ic art that reflects the designs and patterns of the natural world,” said Marie. Adam Sampson is a our newest member and we can’t wait to see what he produces for this show! Come join us for the opening recep-tion where you can meet the artists, see their work and enjoy appetizers and bev-erages. For more information, go to www.calvartgallery.org, or call 410-535-9252.

BleaChersA View From The

By Ronald N. Guy Jr.

Contributing Writers

By evan slaughenhouptCommissioner President

COMMISSIONER’S CORNER

The last week or so has been a struggle. I’ve watched Australian Rules Football, random College World Series games and “Without Bias”, a 2009 ESPN documen-tary on the death of former Maryland Bas-ketball star Len Bias, three times. I’ve even trolled the internet like a pathetic TMZ junky for Johnny Manziel chatter. Is a 2 a.m. table tennis tournament next?

The problem: I’m a sports addict without an adequate fix. I need whiskey shots, but the only elixir available is Coors Light. I’m pounding Silver Bullets but they just don’t deliver the desired effect. Maybe I need to go “Old School”, channel my inner Frank the Tank and deploy a beer bong.

I should have a compensatory protocol; this happens every year. See, the moment the Fightin’ LeBron’s defeated the Golden

State Warriors and exercised Cleveland’s demons, sports fans were tossed into a cold, harsh world with only one active major sport (MLB). No frozen pucks or slap shots. No touchdowns or daily fan-tasy football binges. No more three point bombs. This is how Aussie football ends up on one’s television. I even caught my-self reading about Great Britain’s depar-ture from the European Union. #Brexit! Help…

Finding inspiration in these depressed athletic times is difficult, but a Norseman - by trade, anyway - managed to do so. When asked during a recent ESPN inter-view about his remaining NFL shelf life, Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson, 31, offered an interesting reply. “Training camp, going through the grind,

OTAs and all that – that will definitely be a deciding factor. Physically, body-wise, I’ll be good. It’s just mentally…it’s so repeti-tive that it’s more suited toward the young guys…it gets kind of boring.”

For the average person who trudges into work five days a week for 40 years just to keep the utilities on and some connection to the middle class, Peterson’s comments sound like pouty, million-dollar-athlete syndrome. Oh yeah, it’s torturous to throw some weights around daily, casually run mock football plays in shorts and spend a little time with coaches in the film room. Poor Adrian Peterson. How does he sur-vive the toil? He’s a working man’s hero.

Pausing the sail down the river of sar-casm, a fair consideration of Peterson’s soundbite must acknowledge two points. First, while Peterson might not be the best mentor for fathers, he is among the NFL’s hardest workers, having once rushed for 2,000 yards less than a year after recon-structive knee surgery. He is a symbol of the year-round commitment to fitness the game requires and the death of the pot-bel-lied era of Sonny Jurgensen. Second, and more significantly, football, as compared to other sports, demands arduous preparation. Offseason programs begin in April. Orga-nized Team Activities (OTAs) are in May. Training camps start in July. Preseason games are played in August. The regular season runs from September through De-

cember and includes obsessive strategizing between games. And for what? Sixteen games at three hours apiece - 48 hours of glory. And the best of the best only play half (offense or defense). That’s a lot of work for very little playtime and a far cry from the 162 MLB games and 82 NBA and NHL games per year. No wonder there’s so much exuberance and passion on Sundays – it’s playtime!

In that context, Peterson’s point is un-derstandable. Football demands a lot of squeezing for very little juice. Looking to real life for comps, I suppose it’s similar to the maturation of a complex weapon sys-tem, a process that takes years and climax-es with a few test events. Or a presentation that takes weeks to develop, research and practice for a single, two-hour delivery. Or maybe it’s even like writing, a process the great Red Smith described in these terms: “Writing is easy. Just sit in front of a type-writer, open up a vein and bleed.”

Heading into his tenth NFL season, I get Peterson’s boredom with the grind. Am I sympathetic? What with a metaphorical vein open and an early morning alarm for another 20 years? No, not hardly. Pro foot-ball’s still a comparatively good gig, even if gamedays are rare treats. Send comments to RonaldGuyJr@gmail.com

CalvertCounty Times

The Calvert County Times is a weekly newspaper providing news and information for the resi-dents of Calvert County. The Calvert County Times will be available on newsstands every Thursday. The paper is published by Southern Maryland Publishing Company, which is respon-sible for the form, content, and policies of the newspaper. The Calvert County Times does not espouse any political belief or endorse any product or service in its news coverage.

To be considered for publication, articles and letters to the editor submitted must include the writer’s full name, address and daytime phone number. Submissions must be delivered by 4 p.m. on the Monday prior to our Thursday publication to ensure placement for that week. After that deadline, the Calvert County Times will make every attempt possible to publish late content, but cannot guarantee so. Letters may be condensed/edited for clarity, although care is taken to preserve the core of the writer’s argument. Copyright in material submitted to the newspaper and accepted for publication remains with the author, but the Calvert County Times and its licensees may freely reproduce it in print, electronic or other forms. We are unable to acknowledge receipt of letters. The Calvert County Times cannot guarantee that every letter or photo(s) submitted will be published, due to time or space constraints.

Numerous articles about this topic have been written, questions asked and answered, options presented, “public” hearings held, and even after all that; some will continue to claim there is not enough known instead of truthfully stating they ei-ther want no growth, no competition, or are begrudged because they were not elected to be the decision makers.

During the 2010 election (yes, 6 years ago), the subject arose in “public” about the property where the old Calvert High School stood in the district called New Town. Calvert County sent a Request for Proposals (RFP) to the development com-munity for ideas. In 2011, five responses occurred; none were acceptable as each viewed the property as simply another strip mall. A subsequent decision was made in “public” circa 2012 to create a comprehen-

sive review of signs throughout the county, while looking at saving the Transferrable Development Rights (TDR) program; and that going forward the board would include updating in “public” the Prince Frederick Master Plan while still pursuing develop-ment of that property.

An update for that master plan was initiated by a “charrette,” a week-long “public” visioning and design process that occurred on June 10-14 and 18, 2013. Par-ticular emphasis was given to the redevelop-ment of the former Calvert Middle School property and adjacent lands along MD Route 2/4 up to Calvert Memorial Hospital. For details about the charrette, see: http://www.co.cal.md.us/index.aspx?NID=1411

As stated on the “public” Calvert County website, “Calvert County govern-ment has embarked on an exciting design

and master planning project for the Prince Frederick Town Center. The goal is to up-date the Prince Frederick Town Center Mas-ter Plan and Zoning Ordinance, adopted in 1989. The “charrette,” a public visioning and design process, provided opportunities for people to share their ideas for the future of Prince Frederick. The charrette report is full of thought-provoking ideas, which are being considered for inclusion in the new master plan and zoning ordinance.”

Misinformation in “public” about illegal spot zoning is wrong as the pro-posed text amendments apply comprehen-sively to the entire district as prescribed in the “public” Prince Frederick Master Plan and Zoning Ordinance, page Z.O. 41 which states, “2. Future Development Guidelines - The New Town District offers a unique opportunity to create a comprehensively

designed, mixed - use, planned community at a key location within the Town Center. In order to encourage innovative design, Zon-ing Ordinance and Subdivision regulations governing density, site design and permit-ted uses will be waived provided the en-tire District is comprehensively designed. The final design will be subject to Plan-ning Commission and County Commis-sioner approval. Participation is voluntary.” http://www.co.cal.md.us/documentcenter/view/10544

Details about Armory Square project to include traffic analysis are avail-able to the “public” at: http://www.co.cal.md.us/index.aspx?nid=1974 as well as oth-er information: http://www.co.cal.md.us/index.aspx?nid=613
