Motorcycle passenger Sompis Clarke died from severe injuries sustained from a car crash. Clarke was severely injured af-ter a collision with a Mustang in Lusby on Monday afternoon.

According to police investigation, Mark Douglas Clark was driving a 2008 Harley Davidson motorcycle along with passen-ger Clarke, travelling east on Cove Point Rd. Richard Walter Quade was driving a Ford Mustang, which was stationary at the stop sign at Little Cove Point Rd. and Cove Point Rd. Quade was waiting to turn west onto Cove Point Rd. He failed to yield the right of way to the motorcycle. In an effort

to avoid a crash, the motorcycle driver took evasive action. The motorcycle ended up colliding with the Mustang head-on and caused Douglas and Clarke to be ejected from the motorcycle.

Both Douglas and Clarke were flown to Prince George’s Shock Trauma to be treated. However, Clarke died shortly after arriving at the hospital.

Anyone who may have witnessed this crash is asked to contact Jeff Hardesty of the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office Crash Reconstruction Team. He can be reached at 410-535-2800 or [email protected].

Autopsies showed that both men died from gunshots wounds. Families of both men were notified of their deaths.

The details of the case are still under in-vestigation. The police believed that this is an isolated incident, and there is no threat

to public safety. The police later found suspected crack cocaine, heroin, powder cocaine, marijuana, and other controlled dangerous substances inside the residence where the shooting occurred. The law en-forcement also recovered a digital scale, $6,140 and a loaded 12 gauge Mossberg shotgun.

The Town Council unanimously ap-proved the proposal to host a three-day North Beach American Film Festival in June of 2017.

The proposal was brought up by Anthony Greene, a Chesapeake Beach resident and an independent filmmaker. Born in Wash-ington D.C. and grew up in Prince George’s County, Greene said he had a great experi-ence with North Beach since becoming a filmmaker and would love to give back to the community.

The film festival will showcase indepen-dent films produced across the country, highlighting those that exhibit the multicul-tural and diverse aspects of the American life, according to the proposal.

Greene said he’s interested in screening films that would show an America with experiences from people coming from all walks of life.

It could be an Israeli or Korean Ameri-can telling stories of their experiences liv-ing here, Greene said.

Film company Reel Independent Film Extravaganza will produce the festival. Greene said ten percent of the proceeds

will go to the Town of North Beach and an-other ten percent will go to the Twin Beach Players, a local community theater group.

The funding of the film festival will come from a combination of grants, spon-sorships, donations and admission fees, ac-cording to Greene. Details are still under discussion.

The festival will have about six screen-ing blocks and a Sunday afternoon awards ceremony. Two screenings will take place on the beach and the remaining three will be indoor. Greene suggested the Twin Beaches Library as one of the potential in-door locations during the council work ses-sion on Thursday.

As the town tries to become the art and entertainment district, the film festival will certainly be part of it, Council Mem-ber Kenneth Wilcox said during the work session.

Ratings of all films screened will be within the range of PG-13. Food and ser-vices will be coordinated with local busi-nesses. Film submission process will start this October.

North Beach Town Council Approves Film Festival ProposalBy Dandan ZouStaff Writer

The Calvert County Sheriff’s Office has announced the implementation of the County’s automated speed enforcement program. The County is now one of many jurisdictions to use automated speed en-forcement to reduce traffic crashes, pedes-trian accidents, and save lives. The program

will provide au-tomated enforce-ment in school zones with a post-ed speed limit of at least 20 miles per hour. Speed cam-eras provide police with one more tool to protect pedestri-ans and other mo-torists by targeting aggressive driving behaviors.

Calvert County entered into an agreement with the Brekford Cor-poration to provide and maintain the speed cameras.

The speed cameras will be portable and placed in designated school zones through-out the county. The first camera loca-tions will be Mill Creek Middle School, Northern High School, and Mt. Harmony Elementary.

The fine for violating the posted speed limit is $40.00 for each violation. Violators traveling 12 miles over the posted speed limit will activate the speed camera which will result in a violation notice being issued via the US Mail. All violators may pay the fine or request a court date to contest viola-tion notices.

During the implementation of the Coun-ty’s program, which will begin on July, 18, 2016, there will be a 30-day period where only warnings will be issued. After that period, fines will be issued to violators. Photo violations do not result in points and cannot be used to increase a person’s insurance rates. Operation of school zone cameras is restricted to Monday through Friday, from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m.

For more information, please contact Captain David Payne, Administrative and Judicial Services Bureau Commander at 410-535-1600 ext. 2593.

Calvert to Start Using Speed Cameras

On Friday morning, a pedestrian was struck by a car when crossing the intersec-tion of Route 4 and Dares Beach Rd. The pedestrian was seriously injured in the head area, but the sheriff’s office said she is likely to recover.

The injured pedestrian was a white woman named Veronica Disney, 54, of Chesapeake Beach. The driver of the car involved in the accident was Trista Smith, 50, of St. Leonard.

According to police investigation, Smith was driving a gray 2011 Nissan Altima, travelling north on Route 4 in lane one. The car was proceeding with a green light through the intersection when Disney tried to cross Route 4 from the east side of Dares Beach Rd. towards Safeway.

When the accident happened, Disney was talking on the phone and was not pay-ing attention to the traffic, according to a witness who was walking with Disney. The witness tried to stop Disney, but she continued to walk into the traffic, “appar-ently aware of the danger,” according to the press release.

When the sheriff’s office and the crash reconstruction team arrived at the scene around 7 a.m., Disney was lying in the mid-dle of the road unresponsive. She was taken to Prince George’s Hospital Shock Trauma unit with severe injuries.

“The pedestrian received injuries pri-marily to the area of her head,” said Todd Ireland, Patrol Commander of the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office. As of Monday, it appears that she will recover from her injuries.

The crash happened during morning rush hour and caused a traffic backup. One lane was closed at 7:17 a.m. and was open more than an hour later at 8:57 a.m., ac-cording to Nixle alerts distributed by the sheriff’s office.

“If any charges are filed, they would be against her (Disney),” Ireland said. “The witness was walking with her and tried to stop her from crossing against the green light, so the pedestrian is at fault.”

As the investigation continues, anyone with information related to this crash is asked to call Jeff Hardesty at 410-535-2800 or email him at [email protected].

Thursday, July 14, 2016 11The Calvert County Times Letters

The day after Father’s Day, I had to tell my husband that our grandson, Dustin Wood, 33, died in Tallahassee, Florida. In 44 years of marriage, this was the hardest thing I ever had to do.

Dustin tried to detox himself over two days in order to have an artificial eye put in place and, most important, to be free of al-cohol. He lost the use of that eye after sus-taining many explosions while serving two tours each as a Marine in both Iraq and Af-ghanistan. He came back as a Sergeant but also with PTSD, detached retinas, alcohol-ism and, most likely, brain complications. He suffered headaches, had horrendous nightmares and never spoke optimistically about his future. He was a member of the first Wounded Warrior class. We almost lost him two years ago when his liver failed due to alcohol poisoning. He was saved by the doctors at the Gainesville Veterans Hospital.

If your family has sustained such a loss, we now understand your pain. Dustin’s

parents have now buried their oldest son. We have to endure this loss as a family. Dustin had so much promise but he took a path that left him little hope. He wanted so badly to go to college and have a happy life. He is now in a better place with his fellow Marines and all other men and women who have given their lives for our country.

Dustin had a life well lived. He was a good Marine and proud of it. Ten of his Marine brothers came from all over the United States to attend his funeral and pay him the ultimate honor. He loved his fam-ily and his friends. He was a hunter, a fish-erman, and loved bull riding.

No matter whether you have relatives who have experienced these symptoms or not, please give all your loving support to the men and women who serve us faith-fully and help them to have lives well lived.

Since 2005, hundreds of visitors par-ticipate in Annmarie Garden’s Public Art Project each year.

This summer, the art project is named “Inflatable – Images and Inspirations” and is led by artist-in-residence Hannah Jere-miah, a recent graduate from the Maryland Institute College of Art.

Vistors are encouraged to draw pictures and write down messages on pieces of scraps and vinyl in the artLAB at Annma-rie Garden. By the end of August, Jeremiah will sew these scraps from visitors together and create an inflatable dome large enough for people to go inside and see their own contributions.

So far, Jeremiah has collected hundreds of creative scraps from participants and expected to gather more in the weeks to come. The project started in mid-June and will last till the end of August. She is now in the process of sewing the scraps together to make the dome. Because of the leaks, there will be one large fan blowing air into the dome to keep it upright when the dome

makes its debut in September’s Artsfest, she said.

The essence of the art project is to make it a community activity that allows visitors to interact with art and be creative.

Now in her second month as the artist-in-residence at Annmarie Garden, Jeremi-ah enjoys chatting with children who come to visit with their families and working with them on their ideas.

A few days ago, a visiting girl about seven years old approached Jeremiah and asked for her help to make an inflatable do-nut-shaped balloon. Jeremiah used a piece of a white beach ball with some flower pat-terns on it and sewed together a small, tri-angular-shaped object. She was constantly amazed by the girl’s imagination and her determination to overcome difficulties to achieve her goal.

The first problem they encountered was sewing together a donut-shaped balloon, which is geometrically too complicated to accomplish. They later settled on a trian-gle. When the object leaked air because it

was sewed together, the girl suggested us-ing tapes to cover the holes in between the stitches. When that didn’t fix all the leaks, they used a hair dryer to keep it inflated.

Jeremiah said she enjoyed working with the girl and hearing that she wanted to be-come an artist when she grew up. She was also amazed to hear more creative ideas from the girl. One of them was to insert a light bulb on a headband and embed the

headband with a switch that would turn the light bulb on whenever she has a new idea.

One of the struggles working with chil-dren is that you don’t know their levels to give them the right guidance, Jeremiah said. “But it was great to see someone so devoted in making things that seem impossible.”

Born in Arkansas, Jeremiah grew up in Connecticut and later came to Baltimore

Annmarie Summer Project Brings Art and Community Together

for school. She developed an inter-est in sewing since she was young. She still uses her grandmother’s sewing machine almost everyday now. Growing up in the suburbs, she also developed a curiosity about over-abundance, waste and the un-wanted. Whether it’s one earring in the stairwell or a pyramid of empty Snapple bottles, Jeremiah viewed the discarded objects as catalysts for flexible sculptures, installations and other artistic expressions.

Initially wanting to make the dome as tall as 17 feet, Jeremiah changed her design and said she would like to let the donated ma-terials dictate the size of the dome. She gets her plastic materials for the dome mostly from donation. People brought in shower curtains, beach balls, pool toys, poked airbags,

cat litter bags, and so on. In this way, she doesn’t need to buy more plastics to fill the material gap.

The public art project is designed to cre-ate a nurturing environment for emerging artists who are interested in community and public art projects and to provide op-portunities for the public to interact with art, according to Annmarie’s website. Initially started in 2005, the first summer project was called Passages, an installa-tion inspired by a project in Central Park, New York. In 2011, it was Wish Mandala for which people made hundreds of wish-ing flags designed to create harmony in the community. Last year, it was Modern Petroglyphics, a stone carving installa-tion featuring drawings from people in the community.

Visitors are encouraged to come to An-nmarie Garden and contribute to Jeremiah’s project. Participation is included with the price of admission, which is $5 for adults, $4 for military, $3 for youth and free for members and children under the age of six.

The dome will stand on display at An-nmarie’s annul Artsfest on September 17 and 18.

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.

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

THE UNPLUGGED TONY O’DONNELL

By Evan SlaughenhouptCommissioner President

COMMISSIONER’S CORNER

Town Centers, by design are envisioned to have mixed uses, commercial, residen-tial, community. By design, the plan for Calvert County was to have largely ru-ral areas for agriculture and residential with commercial activities in the town centers. Not all Town Centers are alike. Commercial in Minor Town Centers is intended to largely support the local com-munity area. Dunkirk is nearly 100% commercial with very little space remain-ing for much more development. Citizens who lived near there were very active to ensure Dunkirk did not draw consumers from areas further north than the Wayson’s Corner/Lothian area. Frankly, Owings is so small that some consideration may be given to turn it into a Village instead of a Town Center. Huntingtown seems to have citizens who favor changing it also into a Village. None of these town centers have public water/sewer and are unlikely in the foreseeable future.

St. Leonard, also currently without public sewer seems to teeter between staying small or expand. The remain-ing minor town center, Lusby has seen much growth; in fact, it may be possible one day to be unable to see where Lusby ends and Solomons begins. We will see. Three Major Town Centers exist, Solo-mons, Prince Frederick and the beaches (North Beach, Chesapeake Beach). The most expansive commercial activities were envisioned for these areas. The Beaches (which are incorporated towns who deter-mine their own future) and Solomons are pretty much built out as areas within those town center limits are pretty much all oc-

cupied. Prince Frederick is another story. Prince Frederick has land for development consistent with the Vision of the Compre-hensive Master Plan, as well as areas where the actual town center limits could expand. In one district (New Town), there is a small area (about 80 acres) where much focus is currently to create a multi-use develop-ment, known as Armory Square.

When the presentation of the Charrette for Armory Square was presented circa 2012, I asked a simple question. What zon-ing changes are needed to implement the concepts and visions of that Charrette? The current set of proposed text amendments for the New Town District will facilitate the development consistent with the mix use vision that resulted from the Charrette. Even a larger footprint store was shown on the concept drawing from the Char-rette which cannot occur without the text amendments being adopted.

The Prince Frederick Master Plan; sec-tion VI.G.2 of the Prince Frederick Zoning Ordinance states that the New Town Dis-trict offers a unique opportunity to create a comprehensively designed, mixed-use, planned community at a key location with-in the Town Center. While the text amend-ments are not a comprehensive design the amendments are consistent with that mas-ter plan and are comprehensive as they ap-ply to the entire New Town District.

Consisting of commercial/retail not pre-viously available within Calvert County, Residential, Green Space, and Commu-nity Center, Armory Square is all consis-tent with the Comprehensive Master Plan, Prince Frederick Master Plan; and by design.

By Design

BlEaChErSA View From The

By Ronald N. Guy Jr.

Recent sports headlines have been domi-nated by an all-star NBA forward from Maryland. No, not the ‘Skins fan from Prince George’s County. Oh he’s gotten plenty of run after snubbing the Wizards, crushing dreams in Oklahoma City and inking a deal with the Golden State War-riors, the NBA’s first non-LeBron-James Evil Empire in years. Pause The Kevin Durant Chronicles for a moment; a former resident of Baltimore, the land of orange, purple and Natty Boh, stirred up far more important publicity last week.

I’m not a fan of New York Knicks for-ward Carmelo Anthony. Yes, he’s a big-time scorer who can flat out drain the or-ange. But he’s an obligatory defender, his effort is questionable and there’s no evi-dence that he makes his teammates better. One dimensional. Generally overrated. Not my cup of tea.

That’s Anthony the player. But Anthony the man and unexpected political activist? That guy has my attention. That guy has my respect. In an overwhelmingly sad week that saw police shoot and kill Phi-lando Castile and Alton Sterling and Micah Johnson kill five officers in Dallas, An-thony took to social media to express his outrage. Here are his paraphrased thoughts (the post is worth reading in its entirety):

“We need to steer our anger in the right direction…towards the system. Shooting 11 cops and killing 5 WILL NOT work…we need to come together more than any-thing at this time. We need each other. I’m calling on my fellow athletes to step up and take charge. There’s NO more sitting back and being afraid of tackling and addressing political issues anymore. THE TIME IS NOW. DEMAND CHANGE.”

When confronted with domestic or inter-national turmoil, I often turn to Fareed Za-karia’s book “The Post-American World” for solace. In it, Zakaria argues that, by historical comparison, we occupy a peace-ful world, one whose cultural and economic interconnectivity largely mitigates danger-ous political discord and ill-intended per-sonal or national ambition. The evidence is convincing: We’ve achieved unprecedent-ed levels of trade and economic prosperity; cultural barriers are reduced by travel and information exchange, and; large scale war between superpowers, the kind that results

in massive casualties and global instability, doesn’t exist.

Still, with alarmingly frequent terrorist attacks and senseless killings, it is diffi-cult to remain hopeful in humanity’s grand earthly coexistence, despite Zakaria’s logi-cal, fact-based counterpoints. Human na-ture as it is, it seems that stereotypes will corrupt the small-minded, greed will infect the ambitious and religious zealotry will distort the worship of a god into an instru-ment of pure evil.

The tendency for decent, loving and well-intended individuals is to respond to social calamity by controlling what they can – personal attitudes and actions and the world view of youths they influence – and steadfastly remaining part of the solution. The development of strategies that promote the world’s safety, progressive international relationships and the infrastructure for so-cial fellowship and equality is deferred to a nation’s leaders, a term often synonymous with politicians.

Given the scope of today’s challenges, that is mostly an understandable and defen-sible reaction. For what happened in Min-nesota, Louisiana and Texas during Amer-ica’s Independence week, it isn’t enough. The world has a common opponent who is terrorizing free, peaceful people around the globe. Yet here we are in America, the allegedly most diverse, open and tolerant nation in the world, struggling with sense-less internal violence. We have to demand better of ourselves, resist shameful stereo-types and appreciate and promote our com-mon humanity.

That is part of Anthony’s point. The added layer is that while sports is a fun, joyous reprieve from the ugliness of every-day life, there comes a time when it should be more. Anthony’s fed up and willing to use his NBA platform to be a change agent; he’s challenging colleagues to do the same. We should all applaud his courageous ac-tivism and stand behind him, Knicks fan or not. Otherwise we’re just individuals left rereading books or returning to other fa-miliar outlets to soothe the pain of the latest crisis and retain hope in our flawed species. For me, Anthony’s crusade is well-time; I need more than Zakaria’s wisdom to main-tain faith in this world. Send comments to [email protected]
