Veteran Deputy ChallengesEvans For Sheris Seat

By Guy LeonardStaff Writer

The Calvert County Sheriffs Ofce focuses too muchtime on trafc enforcement on Route 4 and not enough oncommunity policing, says Sgt. Craig Kontra, a 26-yearagency veteran who ofcially announced his candidacyfor sheriff Monday.

Kontra, who joined the agency in 1987, also criticizedcurrent Sheriff Mike Evans for not doing enough to curbthe prescription drug trade in Calvert County.

We have a prescription drug epidemic, our sher-iff hasnt done anything about it, Kontra said to a smallgroup of supporters in front of the Circuit Court in PrinceFrederick.

We need to get the guys [deputies] off Route 4 and

back into the communities, Kontra said. I dont careabout tickets, I care about you all.Kontra heads up the warrant division of the agency but

even as a supervisor he says that the agency is top heavy.In an agency of 125 people we have 41 supervisors;

whos doing the work? Kontra said.In a later interview Kontra said morale within the

agency was low and that he had the support of deputies inhis bid to unseat Evans.

He blamed Evans leadership style for low enthusiasm.Morale is very low, Kontra said. People hate com-

ing to work.He said he waited this long to run for sheriff for a

simple reason; his career is winding down.Ive been talking about doing this for 10 years, Kon-

tra said. Why now? Because I can retire.Kontra, who lives in Huntingtown, does not have a

college degree, though he said at one time he was workingon an associates degree in criminology.

But he said his hands on experience at the agency hasqualied him for the job.He said he worked as a patrol deputy for the rst two

years on the agency and then another seven years interdict-ing narcotics.

Since then he has worked in warrants as a supervisorhe said.

Evans said that his agency has made strides in dealingwith drugs and will be adding more personnel this year tcombat the problem.

He said he would not directly answer his opponentcharges in the media.

The people of Calvert County will see what Ive donover the past 12 years, Evans said. If any citizen wants toknow what we do to combat narcotics Ill tell them.

He said any low morale was due to back-to-back yearof no salary or step increases for personnel, which Calvercommissioners allowed to an extent this year.

Evans said the agency is a place where many want towork.

Weve had 400 applications to work here, if peoplearent happy here they need to nd something else becaus

there are people out there who want to do it, Evans saidTheres not a lack of people who want to do their jobs.

Calvert County Government implemented a newnotication system on July 4 that can notify citizens andbusinesses about various emergency and non-emergen-cy situations.

The new Calvert County ALERT system replacesthe countys previous notication system, CodeRED,and allows county agencies to better communicate withthousands of residents and businesses within minutes inthe event of an emergency.

With the Calvert County ALERT system, CalvertCounty Government will be able to alert residents aboutsevere weather, res, oods and other emergencies. Mes-sages can be sent to individuals using a variety of contactmethods cell phone, landline, email, text messaging,fax, pager and more ensuring that residents and countystaff can receive life-saving emergency information andimportant public service announcements in minutes.More than one of each device can be registered.

The system allows the county to target specic geo-graphic areas for alerts or send alerts countywide. It canalso gather information on citizens with special needswho may need additional help in an emergency and re-ceive feedback on important questions.

Citizens listed in the countys 911 database will beautomatically subscribed to alerts by landline. Individu-als are encouraged to self-register to provide additionalcontact information or opt out. Residents who had previ-ously registered for the CodeRED system will need tocreate a new prole in the new Calvert County ALERTsystem in order to continue receiving messages viamethods other than a published telephone number.

When creating a prole, users entering multiplecontact options can specify the order in which they wantto be notied for example, cell phone number rst,then a home phone then an email address. Each personcan add multiple locations to receive alert informationfor home, work, a childs daycare, or other specic coun-

ty addresses in which they are interested. The systemalso allows users to choose different types of messagesthey wish to receive. Users can change their proles oropt out of the system at any time.

When a notication is issued, those signed up willreceive the message in the order of the methods theyhave chosen. The system will try to reach users througheach contact method until they conrm receipt of themessage. Notications will stop once conrmation isreceived.

Residents are urged to visit the county website atwww.co.cal.md.us and click on the Emergency Alertslink to register for the notication service. Those with-out Internet access can call 410-535-1600, ext. 2638, tosign up.

Two years ago Al Brewster and Gil Ri-vera, two Vietnam War veterans, tried tond ways they could help combat veterans

from this generation cope with returninghome.

Their answer was to pair combat veter-ans, military service people and even peoplefrom military families with soldiers return-ing from Iraq and Afghanistan.

Southern Maryland Battle Buddies wasborn.

We both agreed it was very frustrat-ing to get the Veterans Administration (VA)to do things in rural areas, Brewster said.Whats not being provided is peer to peersupport.

Veterans serving overseas in the Waron Terror can see intense combat operations

but when their term of service is up theyoften deal with an honorable but abruptseparation from the military.

That means a separation from closeknit comrades who understand whatthey have gone through and a feeling of iso-

lation in a society where perhaps only onepercent of the entire populat ion has actuallyseen combat.

Youre going from one world, a veryintense world, to another, Brewster said.

Brewster, who is also a clinician andformer Air Force social worker, offers 35-hour training courses at Trinity UnitedMethodist Church in Prince Frederick forveterans who want to help other veterans orfor those who have an understanding of themilitary life.

Ill settle for anyone whos had mili-tary service or even people whove comefrom military families, Brewster said. Its

impossible to teach the military culture ina class.

The services Battle Buddies offers arefree and condential to those who seekthem, Brewster said, and are based on volun-teers making the sacrice to get the training.

I ask people for their time and theirhearts, Brewster said. They learn what ahelpful response is, its all skill building.

If a volunteer is able to forge a relation-ship with a combat veteran then thats whenthe veteran can start the healing process.

It lets them know theyre not alone,that theyre not crazy, Brewster said. Itsin that relationship that help happens.

After seven years, $115,000 and millions of oysters, theSouthern Maryland Oyster Cultivation Society is calling itquits.

This was not a lightly made decision, said SMOCSPresident Len Zuza. When the group started, they foundseven sites suitable to create oyster habitats. Divers lastyear measured 200 oysters per square meter, a number wellabove the 50 per square meter that is considered a good

population, Zuza said.

Because their existing sites were so successful,SMOCS considered nding new sites to continue creatinghabitats, but the organization ran into two obstacles in -creased restrictions from the Department of Natural Re-sources and a shortage of oyster shells to plant spat on.

There were no good options for expanding, Zuzasaid.

SMOCS is a grass-roots, membership-based organiza-tion dedicated to raising oysters and improving local waterquality through oyster cultivation and restoration projects,public outreach, and targeted advocacy. Over the years, vol-unteers worked for free to ensure donations went directlytoward purchasing and planting oysters.

Each year, SMOCS planted millions of spat, six mil-lion last year and another two million this year. Spat is veryvulnerable and SMOCS planted them with the understand-ing that some would die.

During the past seven years, SMOCS members havemet a tremendous number of good hearted people com-

mitted to cleaning the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries.They collaborated with the Chesapeake Bay Foundationand the Coastal Conservation Association to plant and growoysters. Members got a sense of satisfaction from their ef-forts and seeing the success of the habitat sites.

SMOCS is seeking individuals and organizations inter-

ested in using equipment SMOCS purchased. Recently, th

group donated some equipment to the Chesapeake BeacOyster Cultivation Society.

SMOCS ofcially ends Dec. 31. For more informationvisit www.smocs.org.

Southern Maryland Youth Finds Inspiration,Makes Memories at LEAD 2013

For the fourth year, Southern Marylandteens got a leg up toward becoming effectiveleaders in their communities during the uniqueLEAD summer camp experience.

A highly diverse group of 44 studentsfrom public and private high schools in Calvert,Charles and St. Marys counties took on a com-

prehensive course in leadership, learning aboutmotivation and empowerment, diversity, groupdynamics and goal setting. While rigorous withworkshops, group projects and hands-on ser-vice, the delegates also had ample time to get toknow each other and create lasting memoriesand friendships.

LEAD 2013 is a partnership betweenLeadership Southern Maryland (LSM) and theMaryland Leadership Workshops (MLW), witha mission to inspire and empower youth to be-

come catalysts for positive change which coin-cides perfectly with LSMs mission of regionalcollaboration. In fact, LEAD is an acronym forLeadership, Experience, Advocacy and Disci-

pline, all components of the teens experience.The four-day, three-night camp welcomed

rising sophomores, juniors and seniors to St.Marys College of Maryland, where they expe-rienced campus living. LSM board members satin on discussions offering mentorship and exam-

ples of how leadership works in the real world.Guest speakers Ken Carkhuff and Kim

Mozingo joined the delegates on the rst eve-ning for a workshop asking them to dene lead-ership. Both told the group about the importanceof humility, a strong moral compass and gettingto know the people you work with.

Carkuff told the inquisitive teens, Every-body has a story in life and when you take thetime to hear it, you develop stronger relation-ships and become a stronger leader.

Students were asked to assess their ownand others leadership styles. LaPlata HighSchool senior Jake Lind said he acquired severalnew skills and discovered some talents he didnteven know he had.

On the nal day of camp, Calvert HighSchool senior Robert White said, [I learned]that I can be a great leader someday. He said hewould encourage others to experience LEAD atleast once.

Purposely paired with dorm mates fromdifferent schools, with different interests, thedelegates were encouraged to connect with their

peers, nd common ground and, through les-sons learned in the diversity workshop, acceptthem and respect their differences.

Nailah Jefferson said she was pulled out ofher shyness, commenting, The experience of

LEAD was a blessing and I loved every part.Jefferson, like several delegates, said the

diversity training, while highly emotional, was

among her favorite parts of camp. I learnedhow to look on the inside of a person and not

judge them based on outward appearance, shesaid.

Thomas Stone High School student LainieRichards felt a sense of camaraderie at LEADand stated, My favorite experience was peopleliking me for me all my life, I have been

picked on and coming here was like a breath offresh air.

The MLW staffers are also a diverse groupand are often just a few years older than the del-egates, creating a comfortable and respectfulenvironment in which to learn and share experi-ences. The staff supervised and played a greatdeal of get-to-know-you games with the dele-gates and taught thought-provoking workshops,all while maintaining the safety of the students

and making sure each of the 44 delegates partici-pated in the experience to the fullest .

One wheelchair-bound delegate partici-pated in every activity and got around campusquite independently, only requiring the willingassistance of her new friends a few times. Manysaid they were inspired by her determination tonot be treated differently.

Another delegate who faces the challeng-es of a neurodevelopmental disorder attendedthis years LEAD camp and participated rightalongside his peers without special treatment. Ina letter of appreciation, a relative of his praisedall involved in the program. She wrote, Im notsure that the instructors and volunteers realizehow much he absorbed, but he told me person-ally about leadership, action and accountability.And to this I say WOW!

To ensure all qualied delegates could at-tend, 12 full or partial scholarships were grantedthanks to support from The Patuxent Partner-ship, SMECO, Lexington Park Rotary Club,Mechanicsville and Ridge Lions Clubs andmembers of LSMs Class of 2013.

Other students came to better understandtheir personal strengths and weaknesses, andwere ready to put their newly-gained skills touse directly.

Max Lucas, a junior at Great Mills HighSchool, said, LEAD really helps you understandwho you are and how you lead and treat others.He said he plans to apply the skills learned aboutmotivating apathetic people as Platoon Leader ofhis schools NJROTC program.

Some students raved about the memorableevening bonre and others said they simply en-

joyed making friends with new people they maynot have otherwise met.

Delegates enjoyed the experiential learning

aspects of the program, with a tour of HistoricSt. Marys City and a morning on the waterfront,getting up close and personal with some oysters

and the St. Marys River.While touring the State House and the

replica of The Dove, the group learned just howtimeless some of the principles of leadership are,as they heard details about the life of Lord Bal-timore and the tribulations of the early colonyfounded on religious freedom.

On Tuesday morning, the delegates trekkeddown to the waterfront at the college to join staffand volunteers from the St. Marys River Water-shed Association for some hands-on communityservice restoring the local oyster population.

For the second year, the Association haspartnered with LEAD to connect delegates withtheir environment and educate them about waterquality and oysters as powerful lters of the riv-ers and the Chesapeake Bay.

Executive Director Bob Lewis explainedthe mission of the Association and how the ap-

proach is two-fold, including both restoration ofthe oyster population and curbing pollution. Heissued safety guidelines then directed the groupsto one of three stations.

Students learned about the creatures thatcall the St. Marys River home, encountering afeisty blue crab, jellysh and sh of all sizes asthey took turns with a 100-foot seining net.

Steve Schneider, a Maryland Departmentof Natural Resources Fisheries Biologist ex-

plained aquaculture, the life cycles of oysters,their critical function within the ecosystem andthis once abundant bivalves history in SouthernMaryland.

He and Association board member JohnSpinicchia discussed current projects aimed atrestoring oyster populations close to home and

the many ways delegates and the entire commu-nity can help by being more conscious in theirdaily lives to avoid harming the watershed.

Groups of students rode out on a bargeguided by seasoned waterman and boat captainCraig Kelley with stacks of Marylanders GrowOysters cages to be emptied onto the three-dimensional oyster reef at the oyster sanctuaryin St. Marys River. With the LEAD delegateshelp, about 600,000 oysters were introduced intothis innovative habitat restoration project.

Program Director Alison Rugila and sev-eral summer interns guided the students throughunloading about 100 bushels of spat-on-shellfrom the Associations oyster nursery tank, then

putting 200 bags of washed shell back in alongwith 2.5 million larvae.

LEAD alum and Great Mills senior JaredKimmey, was working hard as part of his intern-ship with St. Marys River Watershed Associa-

tion. The inaugural oyster planting he participat-

ed in as part of his LEAD experience last yeamade a signicant impact on him and his groupselected raising awareness about oyster restoration and environmental issues among their peeras the subject of its nal synthesis project.

This year, delegates divided into twogroups and offered synthesis project presentations before their fellow delegates, the MLWstaffers and a panel of Leadership SouthernMaryland board members.

One group decided to focus on decreasingchildhood obesity, sharing the staggering statistics of how commonplace an unhealthy diet anda lack of exercise has become for kids. They suggested solutions, like adults setting a better example, more community events and recreationcenters that encourage more young people to ge

out, active, and healthy.The other group began and ended their pre

sentation by acting out a scene. At rst, a newstudent was fraught with no help from her classmates, and in the end, with the groups mentoring initiative in place, the students experiencwas greatly improved.

The groups concept was pairing a juniowith an incoming freshman or new student tohelp acquaint them with the school and allowthem not feel so lost and alone.

Both groups answered questions from thLSM panel and from parents, showing they haaction plans in place and explaining how theyworked as a group to construct these projects.

Executive Director Karen Holcomb reminded the students they have LSM as an agento work on their behalf should they want to

pursue these and other topics relevant to thei

communities.Holcomb was very involved with the program this year and said, It is terric to participate alongside the delegates and truly see th

program content and meaning emerge througactivities and projects ... not to mention the bonres, barges and oysters!

Whether students were encouraged to attend LEAD 2013 by advisors in their schoolsfamily members or from seeing an ad in the local newspaper, they all agreed the skills gaineand boost in condence will benet them nowand in the future.

Olivia Keithley, MLW Assistant Directorsaid, This years LEAD delegates reminded mof the incredible ability and power young peoplhave when they come together as leaders.

These 44 young people are most denitely well equipped with the tools they need tomake a positive change in their schools and com

munities, she said.

Arbonne International is a certiedvegan and green company, offering glu-ten and soy free skin care products aroundthe world. We cover anything that goesin or on the body, said district managerHeather Heath. The company has beenaround for over 30 years servicing all overthe world.

Heath joined the company about twoyears ago, after using the products person-ally and seeing a change on her own body.Anything we put on our body, she said,is absorbed into our blood stream. Ar-bonne products are more benecial, she

claims, because as a society, we put fartoo many chemicals on our body.

After the products cleared her sonsskin of the rashes due to his eczema,Heath decided to use the products herself,normally. There are several combinationsets available through Arbonne, speciallyformulated for different types of skin,whether dry, combination, or oily.

Because Arbonne products are bo-tanically based and do not have the pre-

servatives found in most other products,they do not have a long shelf life. Thereis, however, a line of health and wellnessproducts including vitamins, metabolismboosters, joint support medication, herbalmuscle cream, skin care, cosmetic, nutri-tion, and spa and detox lines. Arbonneproducts do not have any chemicals, dyesor fragrances, making them less harsh onthe skin.

As a district manager, Heath holdsworkshops and demonstrations where theproducts are showcased and people areeducated, not only on the specic prod-uct they are using, but on their skin andthe regimens that would work best forthem as well. I have samples of almost

every product, Heath said. She travels tothe houses of her clients and has recentlystarted doing make-up for weddings andspecial events.

Calvert Countys Girl Scouts are hosting,Its Fun to be Fit, an all-day expo for all girls en-tering grades 1 to 6 in the fall, where activities aredesigned around a healthy living style. Integratingideas from First Lady Michelle Obamas, LetsMove campaign, Its Fun to be Fit highlights nu-trition, food group principles, portion sizes, stay-ing active tips and stress management for younggirls to help them form healthy lifestyle habits tocarry them through life.

Senior Membership Specialist Nadine Hap-pell started this program two years ago as a week-long camp program but this year has decided to dofour one-day events in different places around thecounty. Teaching kids at an early age about nutri-tion will stick with them, she said. Happell stress-es the importance of, living a healthy lifestyle as

opposed to going on a diet, because she believesthe lifestyle will stick with kids throughout lifewhereas a diet will only last until a goal is reached.

Happell also teaches that exercise can bemore than going to a gym or doing push-ups. Sheexplains that exercise is about moving the body.Activities such as walking a dog, riding a bike orplaying a game of soccer all count as exercise, shesaid. Teaching the importance of 60 minutes ofactivity per day, Happell shows girls that being ac-tive doesnt have to be work.

Teaching girls at a young age about healthyways to handle stress is also a goal that Its Funto be Fit strives to do. One of the activities per-formed at the camp is making stress balls. Thecamp shows different ways that stress can affectthe body and provides outlets, such as yoga, for it.

Its Fun to be Fit strives to teach girls aboutnutrition in a way that they can carry with them

long after the day is over. Throughout the day thegirls can craft food plates, highlighting the differ-

ent food groups and how they shouldlook when arranged on a plate. Theyalso get to make their own lunchesin the form of wraps in which theyare able to choose the foods theywant to eat. The girls tend to bemore venturesome in their choices,Happell states, adding that oncethey learn about certain foods, suchas red and green bell peppers, theyare more apt to try them.

Registration for Its Fun to beFit needs to be completed by July9. The camp is open to all girls. Formore information contact NadineHappell at [email protected]

Future Hopeful for Hospital

STORY

By Sarah MillerStaff Writer

Serving an area more then 30 milesin diameter and 125,000 people, CalvertMemorial Hospital has a lot to considermoving forward.

President and CEO of Calvert Me-morial Hospital James Xinis is lookingforward to exciting programs as CalvertMemorial Hospital is embarking a jour-ney to build on a foundation of qualitycare offered for the past 95 years.

Reecting on Success, Planningfor the Future

To plan for the future, you need toknow the past, Xinis said.

Planning more than ve years out isdifcult because of how many variablesare involved in planning, Xinis said. Gen-erally, the hospital creates one long-termplan with multiple short term goals.

Calvert County is dealing with anaging population. When Xinis startedworking with the hospital 25 years ago,the population was growing signicantly.For 15 years it grew at a rate of 5.5 per-cent per year, mostly people in their 30sor 40s and young families moving forwork to Naval Air Station Patuxent Riverand Washington, D.C. Now those peopleare in their 50s and 60s and the popula-tion growth has slowed. This causes aneed for specialists and services gearedtoward seniors, while maintaining ser-vices for every other age group.

While poverty and social issues af-fect other hospitals futures, the age ofthe population is one of Calvert MemorialHospitals largest considerations. Indi-viduals older than 65 use health care ser-vice four times more often than youngerage groups, and that frequency increaseswith age, Xinis said.

The hospital has to look at geogra-phy, economics, demographics, popula-tion age and other factors when planningfor the future. Because Calvert has fewissues with poverty in relation to sur-rounding counties patients expect thehospital to perform at a high level andprovide top rated ser vices, Xinis said.

Getting the funds to maintain a highquality of care requires some creativethinking.

Plans are in place for the hospital tosell properties, such as ofce buildings,while retaining ownership of the prop-erty. Ofces sold will offer the same ser-vices, just under different management,Xinis said.

Funds from property sales, amongother revenue streams, will allow Cal-vert Memorial Hospital to open a thirdurgent care center in Calvert. Currently,there are urgent care centers in Solomonsand Dunkirk. The new one would be inPrice Frederick, Xinis said. Additionally,the hospital is studying the possibility ofadding a new tower and increasing hos-

pital space. The goal is to ensure nobodytravels more than 15 minutes to receiveprimar y health care.

During the next ve to 10 years,making sure individuals have access tothe care they require will be a challenge

because Medicaid is under nancialstrain, Xinis said.

We have to provide more serviceswith less dollars, he said, adding healthcare facilities impact lives.

One of the biggest uncertainties inthe future is health care, Xinis said. In2014, as a result of the health care reformact, individuals will be able to take ad-vantage of a healthcare exchange which,in theory, will be nancially supported bythe government and allow the hospital tooffer covered benets to individuals whopreviously had no insurance. Addition-ally, the Small Business Health OptionPrograms (SHOP) goes online in March2014, which will allow businesses withfewer than 50 employees to purchasehealth insurance through an exchange.The health care reform could put addi-tional strain on hospitals, exacerbatingdoctor shortages.

The full impact will unfold as thehealth care act is implemented and thehospital nds out how many people takeadvantage of the new options.

In an effort to provide a high levelof service and bring specialists to Cal-vert County, Calvert Memorial Hospitalhas partnered with Georgetown Hospital,Washington Hospital Center and JohnsHopkins, among other institutions. Thisprogram started in 2007, Xinis said.Through these partnerships, CalvertCounty residents have access to neuro-scientists, vascular care, and the breasthealth specialists without having to gotoo far from home.

The hospital seeks out doctors andcenters that are market leaders to part-ner with, Xinis said, making sure CalvertMemorial Hospital has the best possibleservice. In addition to the partnerships,the hospital strives to bring in ve to 10new doctors every year, providing nan-cial assistance to them to set up a practicein the county.

A new initiative is similarly de-signed to help patients stay at home asmuch as possible. The 2013 No PlaceLike Home initiative is targeted at en-suring comfortable transitions from thehospital home without patients returningto the emergency room, or for any rea-son other than regularly scheduled visits.The new initiative covers the dischargesystem, making sure patients understandtheir medications and giving them accessto an on-line portal to review interactiveeducation systems from home. They pro-vide Transition to Home nurses care forhigh risk patients to remind them of theirpost-hospitalizat ion care and ensure theirhomes are safe and conducive for healing,Xinis said.

Xinis makes sure to give the employ-

ees at the hospital credit for the hard workthey do. The hospital employs individualswho are knowledgeable and highly edu-cated in their respective elds and able toassimilate advancements into their treat-ments. Currently, the hospital is hiringtechnicians and nurses, Xinis said.

Fundraising Efforts

The hospital spends nearly $10 mil-lion every year on new equipment, just

replacing machines and instruments thatare worn down, Xinis said. This doesntcover new construction and other ven-tures. Monies that go into the hospital areused at the hospital. To help ll the gap,several fundraisers are held every year.

One of the biggest events of the yearis the Harvest Ball, according to Asso-ciate Vice President of Corporate Com-munication and Client Service KasiaSweeney.

This year will mark the 25th annualharvest ball. The money raised at the an-nual event goes toward a different needevery year, this year going toward thehospitals newest initiative.

Entertainment at the ball will be pro-

vided again by Nightlife, a WashingtonD.C. band known for their high energy,Kasia said.

The event will be held again at theShow Place Arena, which will be transformed into an elegant ballroom designedby Hargrove, Inc. This years theme Theres No Place Like Home is a tribute to the Wizard of Oz. Guests will follow the Yellow Brick Road through large silent auction area before enjoyinga gourmet meal and dancing in the Em

erald City.Golf tournaments and a casino nigh

ate among other annual fundraisers. Thon site gift shop is another fundraisinentity, recently joined by a thrift storin Dunkirk. The thrift store is open thrst Saturday of every month from 10a.m. to 3 p.m. and located in the DunkirkMarketplace between Safeway and JudiConsignment Shop. Proceeds from ththrift store go toward the Sheldon EGoldberg Center for Breast Care.

On June 20, the Council of Chesapeake Beach passed a uniformrate structure with no subsidies. This is the rst time in at least 25 yearthat select citizens or organizations will not received special rates onwater and sewer usage. Families of Chesapeake Beach will no longebe subsidizing preferred businesses and large volume users. This waa great achievement and milestone for our town. It could not have happened without your public involvement and support. I thank you for tha

However, the new no subsidies rate structure is already undeattack. No time was wasted by those who had their free lunch takenfrom them. A referendum has been launched by Wesley Donovan othe Rod n Reel to stay the new rate structure and attempt to re-instatsubsidized rates. Do not be fooled. This referendum will not lower yourates unless you are a member of the class who received subsides in thepast. This referendum does not apply to the 16 million dollars of r ising expenditures related to the State of Marylands Enhanced NutrienRemoval system which the council has approved and I have repeatedlyvoted against. It only applies to the rate structure. The only question iwill you be paying only for what you use or will you be subsidizing bigbusiness.

I urge you not to sign the petition to re-instate rate subsides. Whave worked very hard against mercantilist policies. I hope this helpbring clarity to the issue of the circulating referendum.

If you have signed this referendum in error due to false pretenseby the presenter, please contact the Board of Elections, Town Hall, or thTown Attorney to have your name removed from the list of petitioners

Thank you for your time and support.Eric Reinhard

Here is another example, worthy of spotlighting, that demonstratehow our Calvert County is comprised of a marvelous network of manywonderful and caring communities. The Brooks United MethodisChurch hosted their Ministry Health Fair Saturday, June 29 on the churchcampus. They could serve as a role model for other congregations seeking to develop practical, relevant programs that address the whole-person needs of the community, including the physical, spiritual, emotionaand relational ones. Brooks UMC had a DJ providing entertainmenta moon bounce activity for the children, free food and drink, numeroudoor prizes, a number of stations including blood pressure checks, cholesterol screening, CPR training along with others. It seemed to me thathey had more than a dozen community healthcare and service providers present with information, resources and guidance on a whole host o

health care issues. They had more than a dozen community healthcarand service providers present with information, resources and guidanceon a whole host of health care issues. I happened to be there on behalf oCalvert Hospice. I learned a couple of things myself that I would do weto follow up as a result of making my own rounds with to my healthcarepeers tables. Whatever becomes of our nations evolving health carin light of the tsunami of the aging demographic of our nations population, I am heartened to see that there are communities like Brooks UMCwho are equipping parishioners and neighbors to navigate the unfamilia(and sometimes unpredictable) waters of healthcare today...and to do sowith passion, heart and soul. All of life may be seen through the lenof stewardship or as a sacred trust, including our measure of health andrelated healthcare decisions. Kudos to their Senior Pastor, Rev. JameRobinson, along with Dr. Dolores Y. Rhodes and Dr. Y. Renee Brighand their entire Brooks team for doing the hard work that breathed thiquality of caring to life!

How do you change publicopinion?

One way is to repeat thesame assertions over and over,until they sound like they mayhave some basis in fact, eventhough real experience provesotherwise.

It is done all the time on

the national level until we do notknow who to believe. Thus, the Washington Postassigns Pinocchios for afliation with the truth. NoPinocchios means no lies, no distortions, no lyingby omission or any other way. 1 Pinocchio means asmall lie ranging to 5 Pinocchios is a whopper. Weall can think of a number of whoppers in the last na-tional election.

What does a County Commissioner do on a lo-cal County level when a 5 Pinocchio whopper landson the dais? Its a dilemma!

Should the Commissioner just keep quiet andhope that the truth surfaces? If this non-action ischosen, the next time the whopper is repeated canbe a step on the slope to turning an un-truth intosomething that may sound plausible with continuedrepetition.

What if the Commissioner refutes the Pinocchiowhopper by stating clearly that there is no basis in

fact for the assertion? Does it start the slippery slopeof the public not knowing who to believe?Here are a few FACTS: The County Budget

could not possibly be the previous years expendituresincreased by some specied percentage, because suchan assertion would require that revenues increase by

the same percentage, which has not been true sincethe housing and employment crisis began. During atime of declining tax revenues, County governmenthas had to add large budgetary items due to legislativeaction, such as the passage of the teacher pensions onto Counties, the required increase in the Maintenanceof Effort, which is the County contribution to educa-tion funding, as well as major cuts to state pass throughfunds for road maintenance, to name just a few. Thesenew mandates expand the budget.

Another FACT: in most instances in my experi-ence, data collection justies more spending, not less,

increasing the cost of government provision of ser-vices. A quick example: we may know that a particu-lar department is managing the reasonable workloadof ve people with four. They are doing it throughtechnology or by being very efcient with their timeand resources. We know this by witnessing the out-put of the employees. But, data collection shows thatve people, not four, are needed. It doesnt matterthat the department was managing just ne with thefour excellent employees who have a high level ofjob satisfaction for giving the public excellent ser-vice and managing more with less. The data collec-tion has documented that they are over-worked andneed a fth employee. Job dissatisfaction begins toset in. The County budget grows, not just by a smallpercentage, but by signicant additions as a dominoeffect occurs. An example of the domino effect onthe County budget is that using call-taker data col-lection in the Sheriffs Ofce demonstrates the needfor more deputies to take calls. The more deputies,the more arrests; the more arrests the more jail spaceand detention ofcers are needed, along with moreprosecutors and more judges. Expenditures no lon-ger correlate with revenue. More revenue is needed.Where does it come from? YOU, the taxpayer.

1. Throw out the rule, but do consider style thoughtfully.Make sure that whatever metals you choose make sense with the overall design of your

room. Think long and hard about whether a shiny modern chrome xture belongs in

your Tuscan-style kitchen.

2. Think of metals as colors and consider combinations thoughtfully.Metals have color undertones...copper is warm, chrome and stainless are cool, oil-

rubbed bronze warm, etc. It generally looks best to mix metals of similar undertones.But again, rules can be bent when the overall style makes sense.

3. Consider fnishes.

Generally, shiny nishes will attract the most attention and matte nishes will blend

away. Put shiny nishes on what you want to stand out. (You can certainly mix nishes!)

4. Consistency is key.Dont go all willy-nilly mixing metals and make everything a different color/type. Set

up guidelines for what will be what: lights in stainless, cabinet hardware in black iron

for example. Keep all of one thing one metal color (appliances), keep all of somethingelse the second metal (hardware), and even add a third (lighting)-- but keep it consistent

among the elements.

5. Have at least three elements of the same metal.Try to have three items in the same metal, which will be easy to do if you have three ap-

pliances (stove, fridge, dishwasher), multiple cabinet knobs, and three or more pendant

lights. Divide it up this way and youll do ne.

Mix and Match Metals?...We hear this question all the time - Is it ok tomix stainless steel with oil rubbed bronze? Somewhere along the line an unwritten rule

scared people into thinking that mixing metals in a room was a big NO NO...but I say,Rules Schmules!
