Despite the worry surrounding Hurricane Joaquin, many came out in the rainy weather to enjoy the County Fair.

Those who braved the weather were able to enjoy the livestock showing, differing ven-dors of food and items, and rides for those of all ages. The fair included stage shows rang-ing from having volunteers try to get money while in a wind box, to watching Dennis Beach chainsaw his sculptures to life.

For more information, visit calvertcounty-fair.com.

On Oct. 4, around 8:45 p.m. the Prince Frederick Volunteer Fire Department responded to Hallowing Ln. in the Hal-lowing Point trailer park for flooding conditions.

Upon arrival, Assistant Fire Chief Bri-an Ficke assumed the command after he found the neighborhood under a signifi-cant amount of water. Chief Ficke quick-ly had to figure out how many residents needed assistance with evacuations and needed to be brought to dry land.

Prince Frederick Fire Department, Prince Frederick Rescue Squad, the Benedict Volunteer Fire department, Calvert County dive team, Maryland State Police, Calvert Emergency Man-agement and the Red Cross were all on the scene also assisting with this effort.

During this time, in under two hours, volunteers rescued 14 residents total. Those people were either assisted by Red Cross or went somewhere else to stay. Our crews also made contact with an additional 15 residents, but those peo-ple refused to leave their homes. At this point, there were no injuries to the resi-dents or to fire department personnel.

During the Oct. 6 Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) discussed ways to fund needed modifications to the for-mer SMECO building on Dares Beach Rd., soon to be home to the Harriet Eliz-abeth Brown Community Center.

The staff recommended plan was to redirect funds from the Solomons Town Center Park and Cove Point Park to fund the renovations in order to ensure the community center is open by the end of the year.

Commissioners Mike Hart and Pat Nutter expressed concern about funnel-ing money away from the parks to fund the community center.

“You can’t rob Peter to pay Paul,” Nut-ter said.

Commissioner Evan K. Slaughehoupt, Jr., worried about his fellow commis-sioners second guessing staff recom-mendations. They pay the Director of General services and other department heads to make recommendations that are for the best of the county and capital projects.

The commissioners agreed to trans-fer funds from Cove Park and decided to use alternative funds rather than take money from the Solomons Town Center Park.

Due to inclement weather affect-ing St. Mary’s County on October 2, the 20th annual Scott Verbic Memorial Golf Tournament has been rescheduled for Friday October 23. The tournament, to be held at the Wicomico Shores Golf Course, is in remembrance of Scott Verbic who was a Recreation Advisory Board Member, Volunteer Coach, and advocate for youth in the community.

Proceeds from the event go to the Recreation and Parks Scholarship Fund which provides recreational opportuni-ties to youth in St. Mary’s County. The Scholarship Fund awards qualified in-dividuals a 50% discount on recreation program registration. This year marks a significant milestone, as combined pro-ceeds from the annual event are project-ed to surpass $100,000.

Space remains for team entry as well as opportunities for hole sponsorships or door prize donations. In addition to sup-porting a good cause, event sponsorship is also a great way to promote business. Both team registrations and sponsor-

ships are available for purchase online at www.stmarysmd.com/recreate. Click on “Online Registration” and choose “Spe-cial Events.”

Additional support of the scholarship program can be provided by becoming a donor of the G.O.L.F Program – “Giv-ing Opportunities to Local Families.” The program provides sponsorship op-portunities for individuals and fami-lies to contribute to the Recreation and Parks Scholarship Fund. For just $25, you or your family can have your name placed among fellow donors on a plaque which recognizes your contribution to help local families participate in recre-ation programs. The plaque will remain on permanent display at Recreation and Parks main office in Leonardtown.

For more information about the Scott Verbic Tournament, please contact Kyle Kebaugh at 301-475-4200 ext. 1803 or [email protected].

Press Release


Detectives from the St. Mary’s Coun-ty Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investiga-tions Division (CID) are requesting the public’s assistance in identifying suspect(s) involved in a debit card skimming scam. Over the last several weeks, numerous victims reported their debit card had been compromised by unknown means. Unknown suspect(s) were able to withdrawal an undisclosed amount of currency from the victims’ bank accounts utilizing automated teller machines (ATM) in Frederick County, Baltimore County, Harford County and Virginia. Subsequently, the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigation Division (CID) assumed the investigation.

Through the course of the investiga-tion, detectives discovered a skimming device had been placed on an automat-ed teller machine (ATM) in Lexington Park, Maryland. A skimming device is an electronic device that attaches to an ATM and captures data associated with the debit card and personal identifica-tion numbers (PIN) of customers.

On Sept. 12, security footage shows two disguised females approaching the ATM in question. The following day Sept. 13, a male approached the same ATM and removed the skimming de-vice from the machine then fled on foot.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Melissa Hulse at 301-475-4200, ext. 1996 or by email at [email protected].

Anyone with information is asked to

call CRIME SOLVERS at 301.475.3333 or text a tip to “TIP239” plus your message to “CRIMES” (274637). Or call the #SMCSO Duty Officer at 301.475.8008

Mary’s County that leads to an arrest or indictment.

Have you been looking for an animal companion? Maybe a four-legged friend to complete your family or to be home when you come home from work? The Calvert Animal Welfare League (CAWL) has just the right pet for you!

“We’re trying to fit the people to the dog,” said CAWL Treasurer and Event Coordina-tor Lori Morgan.

Prospective adopters get a chance to in-teract with animals at CAWL. CAWL vol-unteers will interview them about their home, family, and how often they will be home to care for a pet. Every perspective home is inspected to ensure it will be a safe environment for the animals. CAWL spe-cializes only in cats and dogs.

K9 Manager Barbara Scanlon coordi-nates intake for dogs, finding and evaluat-ing animals who may be shy or scared, and overlooked because they don’t approach adopters when they come in. Scanlon looks for those animals, hoping to bring them to CAWL, help them trust people, and offer them a second chance.

“We want to take the adoptable dogs who are at risk,” Scanlon said.

CAWL is an all-volunteer animal rescue and education organization for cats and dogs.

According to the CAWL website, “We operate a state-of-the-art pet adoption and education center that provides a friendly, caring environment to promote the adoption of homeless dogs and cats until they are ad-opted. Serving Calvert County since 1992, CAWL places hundreds of dogs and cats in new homes each year. As a 100 percent community-supported animal adoption and education center, we depend on the gener-ous support of the community. CAWL is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and a No-Kill Animal Rescue Organization.”

All dogs are current on shots, wormed, have been heartworm tested, on heartworm preventative, are microchipped, spayed or neutered. All cats are current on shots, wormed, FELV/FIV tested neg., are micro-chipped, spayed or neutered.

CAWL depends on the support of the community, Morgan said. They are always seeking donations of quality cat, kitten, dog and puppy food, cat litter, cat carriers, cat condos, small towels and small wire crates in good condition are also needed as sup-plies for our adoptive pets.

Calvert Library Prince Frederick will be holding a workshop for tweens to make cat beds and dog toys to be donated to CAWL on Nov. 5 from 6:30 to 8 p.m.

CAWL is always welcoming individuals who want to help out with the animals. All volunteers must be age 14 or older. While volunteering at the center, children age 14 to age 17 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at all times. Due to insurance regulations, no one under the age of 18 may walk the dogs.

Volunteers are also needed to foster animals.

“Each foster home is critical. We can increase our intake of cats and dogs from shelters if we have room for them in a fos-ter home. When we make an adoption, we can then take another pet from the shelter and place it into a foster home. With limited availability, many adoptable dogs and cats are put to sleep. If you can be a foster home, CAWL will provide all medical care, food, etc...All you furnish is your (TLC) time, love and care,” the website reads.

To supplement community donations, CAWL holds regular fundraisers and oper-ates the Second Chance Shop, a second hand store where they sell donated items, ranging from furniture to handmade crafts, jewelry, and more. Volunteers in the shop are getting ready for the upcoming holiday seasons, Morgan said.

CAWL just wrapped up an online silent auction, and they will hold a Halloween Costume Photo fundraiser on Oct. 10 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. This event will be held in conjunction with the North Beach Boo Bash. There will be a photographer present to take pictures of animals in costume and pictures, with permission of the pet owners, will be submitted to the Hound of the Town photo contest. There will be a ghost hunt for kids with treat bag prizes, a cakewalk, and more family-friendly fun. Plum Point Middle School will be hosting a bake sale at the event, with the proceeds to go to CAWL.

CAWL is open to potential adopters Fri-day through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The shelter is located at 1040 Prince Fred-erick Blvd. in Prince Frederick. For more information, visit www.cawlrescue.org.

What’s one of the most annoying things about waiting around in an airport? Not being able to get comfortable, according to Sabrina Rodriguez, and it’s especially difficult for seniors.

Rodriguez, a freshman at Patuxent High School and member of Girl Scout Troop 4948, tackled the problem when working on her Girl Scout Silver Award project.

For a project to qualify for the award, it has to offer a sustainable solution to a problem in the community. The Girl Scout working on the project has to show leader-ship abilities and work with local leaders and resources to solve the issue she is tak-ing on.

“I didn’t want to do something that ev-eryone else was doing,” Rodriguez said. She rejected ideas to run a food drive or

work with an animal shelter in hopes of doing something to support a group often looked over.

Rodriguez decided to design and fabri-cate neck pillows targeted at seniors. She researched fabrics that are stain resistant and washable. She designed the pillows with a removable outer cover. She solic-ited donations from the community, get-ting all the materials needed to make 50

pillows and even finding someone to as-semble them.

Rodriguez coordinated with Southern Maryland Tri-County Community Action Committee (SMTCCAC) Senior Compan-ion Program Director Michelle Bard to donate the pillows to seniors in the area.

Tweens had a chance to learn the ba-sics of electrical circuits and conductivi-ty by using Play-Doh and modeling clay.

Kids had a chance to be students and instructors during the event, with tweens who have experimented with squishy circuits in the past helping less experienced participants.

Maryland schools are invited to par-ticipate this month in the 2015 Great SouthEast ShakeOut, part of the largest earthquake drill in history.

The drill is affiliated with the Great ShakeOut, a national effort to spotlight earthquake safety. The Great Shake-Out drills began in California in 2008, but the August 23, 2011 earthquake in Mineral, Va., proved that such safety exercises are important throughout the nation. Earthquakes can occur in Mary-land, too. A 2.2 magnitude earthquake centered in Anne Arundel County shook parts of the State on August 8.

The drill is simple, but the importance is great. Students and school personnel are being asked to:DROP to the GroundTake COVER under a table or desk, andHOLD ON until the shaking stops.

The Maryland Center for School Safe-ty, Maryland State Fire Marshal, Mary-land Emergency Management Agency, and MSDE are coordinating efforts for the Great SouthEast ShakeOut.

Note: School systems interested in getting involved with the ShakeOut can contact Ed Clarke, Executive Director, Maryland Center for School Safety, [email protected].

When Arkansas Realtor Beverly Carter was kidnapped and killed a year ago, it sent shock waves through the real estate com-munity nationwide.

Carter had met the suspect at a home for

sale because she thought he was a prospec-tive buyer. He told police he targeted her because she was a “woman that worked alone.”

In the wake of Carter’s death, Southern

Maryland real estate agents took matters into their own hands to protect their safety. With the help of the Calvert County Sher-iff’s Office and Jeff Gay of Southern Trust Mortgage, local agents learned self-defense

so they could protect them-selves if needed. A series of three self-defense classes was offered starting shortly after Carter’s death, and more classes are planned for the future.

“Most agents work alone, and you go on trust that the buyers you’re meeting are who they say they are,” said Kimberly Bean, founder of the Southern Maryland Real Estate Network and a Realtor with EXIT Realty in White Plains.

“The officers went above and beyond the call of duty to give us the tools to pro-tect ourselves,” Bean said. “We can’t thank them enough for coming together for us.”

Last week, Gay pre-sented plaques of appre-ciation to Captain Richard Thomas and Detective Megan Quinn of the Cal-vert County Sheriff’s Of-fice. The plaques commend both Thomas and Quinn for “great devotion to duty and lasting contributions to the

community. Your commitment to educating local citizens in the subject of self-defense if sincerely appreciated.”

Bean noted that the presentation took place on the feast day of the Catholic saint St. Michael the Archangel, who is the pa-tron saint of police. Bean presented each of-ficer with a dog tag with an image of St. Mi-chael on one side and a prayer to him on the other. She also read the prayer aloud during the presentation.

For coordinating the self-defense classes, Bean presented Gay with a plaque on be-half of the Southern Maryland Real Estate Network thanking him “for your generosity in hosting realtor self-defense classes. Your commitment to promoting the importance of safety awareness among realtors is sin-cerely appreciated.”

Launched in 2013, Southern Maryland Real Estate Network is one of the premiere resources for Southern Maryland home ser-vices information and news. The site fea-tures home listings, buying and selling tips, local events, and a directory of home ser-vices companies.

Calvert County Officers Honored For Teaching Self-Defense Skills To Local Real Estate Agents Following Kidnap And Murder Of Arkansas Realtor

Thursday, October 8, 2015 17The Calvert County Times Sports

By Doug WatsonContributing Writer

In his second full season behind the wheel of his Pete Cameron, Ro-land and Lisa Mann owned Rocket no.72 York Haven Pa.’s Jason Covert was crowned the Late Model track champion at Potomac Speedway. Co-vert posted four feature wins and fin-ished inside the top-five in 10 of the 12 races the class contested this sea-son and would eventually out-point runner-up Dale Hollidge by 153 markers to secure the title. “I was never much of a point racer, but I’m really proud to give everyone on this team another championship.” Said Covert. “They spend so much time in the shop getting this car ready and I get the easy part of driving it and if it weren’t for everyone’s efforts on this team, I’d be a guy sitting in the stands watching each week.” Co-vert’s title winning season saw its share of ups and downs along the way. “We wrecked our primary car at Winchester in the middle of the season which was a real setback,” Covert bottom-lined. “Pete and the boys went out to Rocket and got us a new car and these guy’s worked their guts out to get it ready and to finish the season strong was all about their love to race and I couldn’t be happier to be a part of this team.” Covert’s 4-win season upped his career total at Potomac to 8, twenty-third on the tracks all-time win list and his sec-ond consecutive title made him only the fourth driver in speedway history to win consecutive track champion-ships. Class winners this season were Jason Covert (4), Dale Hollidge (3), Jamie Lathroum (2) with JT Spence, Steven Axtell Jr. and Josh Richards (WoO) all scoring once.

Notes-Daryl Hills drove his Ricky Lath-

roum owned Rocket no.55H to the Limited Late Model title on the strength of three feature wins. Hills title was his first with the Limiteds since 2000 and his fourth overall at Potomac as he collected Late Model titles at the track in 2004 and 2006. In the nine races run this season Da-vid Williams scored four wins, Hills posted three triumphs with solo wins going to 2014 champion Tyler Emory and eventual Winchester (VA) point champ Jonathon DeHaven...With only two wins to his credit entering the season Street Stock veteran Mike Franklin left little doubt he was the man to beat in 2015. Franklin took the win in the season opener and would add 10 more wins along the way to easily secure his first career Potomac championship aboard his ARC Race Cars built no.74. Frank-lin’s title march was so impressive he would eventually take the crown

by 503-points over impressive rook-ie Billy Hill. Franklin (11), MIke Latham (4) Chuck Bowie (1) and Barry Williams Sr.(1) were all divi-sion winners...The Crate Late Mod-els were back for a second season flying under the RUSH Racing Series Banner and produced a repeat cham-pion in Ben Bowie. The Potomac vet-eran would win only one main event this season but consistent finishes allowed him to out-point Darin Hen-derson by a scant 4-points to claim the title his sixth career track title (in three different classes) aboard his self-owned Rocket no.17. Da-rin Henderson and Logan Roberson each posted two wins with Bowie, Reese Masiello and Walker Arthur (RUSH tour event) each winning one... Jonathan Raley also became a repeat track champion in arguably Potomac’s toughest weekly class,the Hobby Stocks. Raley clicked for 5 feature wins which moved him to sixth on the tracks all-time win list with 18 career class victories. Raleys title drive, aboard his family owned no.92, would see him take the cham-pionship by 8-points over three-time class champ John Burch. Raley and Ed Pope Jr. each posted five victo-ries with Greg Morgan scoring a personal best with three and John Burch with two, who upped his di-vision win total to 49. Single event winners were Billy Crouse, Korey Downs and Jerry Deason...John Hardesty,on the strength of three feature event wins, secured his third career Strictly Stock championship by just 29-points over 2014 cham-pion JJ Silivious. Ed Pope Sr. lead the way with 6 feature wins upping his all-time class total to 19 victo-ries. Hardesty (3) and 2013 champ Ray Bucci (2) were all multiple win-ners with singles going to JJ Silvious and 2012 titlist Nabil Guffey... The youth movement was alive and well in the tracks entry-level class, the U-Cars. Corey Swaim became the sixth different division champion in the six years the class has appeared at Potomac and in came in quite a battle as he would take the title over Jeremy Pilkerton by just nine-points. In the 15-races run Swaim (5), Mikey Latham (5), Jeremy Pilkerton (4) mopped up all season in the win column with only 2014 Winchester U-Car champ Jeff Wilkins break-ing through for one win. Potomac’s season finale, scheduled for this past weekend but was lost to rain, will be held on October 16th and 17th. The two-day “Southern Maryland Na-tional” will feature the Limited Late Models, Street Stocks, Crate Late Models, U-Cars, Hobby Stocks and Strictly Stocks during the course of the two-day event.
