More jobs for Americans and more products grown and made in the country should help boost the economy, Hoyer continued, but the government has to make it possible for people to make a profit to avoid outsourcing. He took a moment to thank the local business owners. You create kinds of jobs that promote economic growth, Hoyer said. You make America stronger. Hoyer continued, the country needs to focus on becoming fiscally sustainable to become stronger and sequestration harms this sustainability. [Sequestration] starts with S, and ends with stupid, Hoyer said. He says he has seen a lack of production during the last two years of his term, and America cannot continue to sustain the gridlock. Were not focused on jobs like we need to be, Hoyer said. This gridlock is going to hurt our country. Hurt our people.

Anderson said, but the county must now do what it has for decades been able to put off. The countys economy was an uneven tripod, he said with the military at the top and tourism and agriculture nowhere near competitive range for employment. The agricultural sector employs only about 2,500 regularly in the county, while tourism, which has grown at about 3 to 4 percent even during the recession, only employs about 5,000. The base still employs about 22,000. Were not likely to lose Pax River but were definitely going to be seeing reductions, Anderson said. Its a do or die situation. guyleonard@countytimes.net

The Aviation Technology program at the Dr. James A. Forrest Career & Technology Center recently accepted a $5,000 donation from the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers. The donation is the result of a letter that Aviation Technology instructor, Greg Schultz, wrote to I.A.M.A.W. to request help in covering costs associated with the repair of a 1976 Cessna 150 and a 1980s Ultra-Lite.

area around one softball field. Were concerned about safety issues. Deputy Superintended Bradley Clements said the schools system is seeking alternative funding from sources such as the Federal Emergency Management Agency to reimburse the county for the work since much of the damage was sustained after Hurricane Sandy. Schools officials already predict that shoring up the erosion will take buying easements from adjoining property owners and will also require moving the softball field.
The entire work area will encompass 2.75 acres, county documents state. The whole project will likely not be completed until late 2014 and at an estimated initial cost of $776,000 according to county documents. The first phase of the project includes work on stabilizing the site to prevent further erosion and studies of the soil as well as permitting and buying up easements to allow for the final phase of construction, county documents stated. guyleonard@countytimes.net

Fast Facts
Principal: Jennifer Gilman Vice Principal: Julia Steele Mascot: The Herons Feeder Path: Middle School feeders - Leonardtown, and Esperanza High School feeders - Leonardtown ing, closing the achievement gap, described Hollywoods program results: Hollywood students have turned their 72acre campus into a living lab blazing a nature trail, creating a butterfly garden, planting a forest habitat for migratory birds and transforming a drainage pond into a natural wetland. Each project capitalized on the childrens innate attraction to the natural world while providing unique opportunities to combine traditional subject areas in a meaningful whole. Teaching teams consistently evaluated activities to determine which ones were causing the kind of student engagement that is so essential to learning that lasts. The arts have also played a prominent role in Hollywoods evolving story. Again and again we have found that implementation of cross-curricular learning spawns creative student products. For example, six large tile murals in the school courtyard depict different Chesapeake Bay Watershed habitats along with the two recent murals done with an artist in residence program. To create these murals, classes each researched a different habitat. Those who had studied marshes in the grass shrimp project made tiles that depicted a salt marsh habitat, while each of the other classes selected a habitat they had been studying. All students researched their chosen habitat and composed a written description that educates others about the plants and animals shown in the murals scene, as well as the importance of that habitat to the Chesapeake Bay ecosystem. The tile murals were made in art class along with the artist in residence, where students brainstormed possible designs and then voted on the layout of their habitat scene. Beginning with an actual-size drawing of the entire habitat scene, they made each of the clay tiles to depict a section of the scene. The results of these mural project as well as numerous other student products have evolved from detailed observational drawings to beautiful watercolors or prints of the plants and animals being studied. Music and drama programs featuring student learning about a topic are another way that student achievements have been shared and celebrated. An active school-wide arts team regularly seeks funding and staff development opportunities for teachers to incorporate the arts as well as to bring artists, poets, authors and illustrators, dancers, musicians and other performing
The story of Hollywood Elementary School in St. Marys County, Maryland is a story of teachers individually and together seeking to create a meaningful, child-oriented, effective learning environment. As a principal, I have had many influences on my own professional development and thinking. When a teacher presents a lesson aimed toward the average student in the class, the instruction is usually too easy for one-third of the students and too hard for another one-third of the class. This leads to the conclusion that such an approach is ineffective for the majority of the students. This realization enabled me to support teachers innovations that tailored instruction to the unique needs/strengths of individual students. Hollywood Elementary School consists of six houses. Each house includes a cluster of three or four self-contained classrooms surrounding a common area. Each house consists of several grade levels (i.e. Pre-K to 2, or 3 to 5) to make the house multiage and facilitate students learning from other students. The building was awarded a National School Boards Association Special Award because their jury was impressed with the overall design which compliments multiage grouping, learning and activity centers, with teaming. Developmentally appropriate practices recommended by NAEYC (National Association for the Education of Young Children) are emphasized and consistently used as a reference for both the same age and multiage programs. Ex-
perienced teachers coach beginning teachers and the teaching teams plan curriculum units together. Spaces within the houses, especially classrooms with moveable walls between them, are assigned to teaching teams who volunteered to work collaboratively. Each house within our school is named in a different language (ex. Maison Deux/House Two, Dom Pyacht/ House Five) to stimulate student interest in geography, diversity and world cultures. The combination of the schools building design and focus on learner engagement through meaningful exploration of real world experiences provides the impetus for Hollywood teachers to find curriculum connections to world languages and geography. Hollywoods location on the ecologically sensitive Southern Maryland peninsula, dotted with creeks and marshes, and surrounded by rivers and the Chesapeake Bay created incredible opportunities for children and adults to learn from nature. As a school site where natural habitats had been affected by school construction, Hollywoods environmental team began investigating possible restoration projects with students. These classroom investigations combined with community resources led to site improvements such as planting native wild grasses in the storm water management pond to create a healthy wetlands habitat, and converting an unused lawn to a meadow habitat/wildlife study area. A nationwide study of environment-based learn-

arts resources into the classroom. A group of Hollywood teachers interested in making geography concepts come alive for students, sought administrative support for creating an International Day Fair during which students and teachers could feature the geography, arts and culture of countries corresponding with the world languages used to name each of the houses in the school. Results of this school-wide exploration and celebration of world cultures were very well received by students and the community. Students and staff have shared their impressions of the 2012 International Day: I thought it was so interesting that the French flag has the same colors as the American flag. As soon as I walked in the China House, my passport was stamped with a picture of a dragon. Students performed a traditional Chinese bell dance, shaking long sticks with bells. Then everyone got a chance to do Chinese paper cutting. I learned some Swahili, the language of East Africa. The class talked about the people in East Africa and their way of lifesome people live in huts
made of grass, twigs and other sticks. I can see why they would use these materials since they are the natural resources around them. Because student projects in preparation for International Day experiences have been so successful, this event has become a Hollywood tradition. While Hollywood has maintained a clear focus on individual student achievement, our evolving mission emphasizes accessing and utilizing a variety of resources, small grants, volunteers, etc. to create an optimal learning environment for every child. Innovation has become a key to success and part of the fabric of Hollywood. Student teachers and new teachers become immersed in instructional implementation that reflects current best practices. Frequent feedback from student teachers and their supervisors indicate their delight to be working in classrooms where they experience firsthand up- to-date educational theory being actualized. Experienced teachers seek job openings at Hollywood to be in a climate of growth. Hollywoods spirit of being a community of learners and leaders inspires and challenges and also attracts new teachers. Different teaching strengths are welcomed, valued, and blended to nurture the variety of student needs and to support a diversity of teaching styles. Growth and innovation require taking some risks. Hollywoods journey as a professional learning community reflects that willingness to take risks, to learn from mistakes as well as from success and to utilize reflection and selfrenewal as key strategies for professional growth. Teachers are encouraged to run with their best ideas(to customize curriculum to students varying interests and needs)the combined creativity of Hollywoods talented staff has transformed a little school in rural Maryland into a thriving national model of integrated, environment-based education. Since 2001, Hollywood Elementary students have scored significantly higher than state averages in the Maryland State assessments as well as in nationally normed achievement tests. Other tangible indicators of success include the number of grants awarded for teacher and stu-
dent projects, special recognition of school/student achievements, project artifacts created by students, and publications about Hollywoods program. Intangible results include process and product, a spirit of innovation and creativity, which fosters adult learning and engaged student learning within a supportive community of learners and leaders. The momentum of the living curriculum at Hollywood flows from the willingness and imagination of teachers initiating exciting, authentic projects. In the school lobby and hallways, students artwork, displays and murals tell the story of students immersed in projects that are connected to the real world around them. In this marketplace atmosphere of teaching and learning, visitors frequently comment about the overall school climate as stimulating, purposeful and creative, a place where diverse strengths, interests, contributions, and cultures inspire the meaningful growth of adults and children.

come to her for help, her goodwill is known to be nearly limitless. The community, through Christmas in April, gave back to Countess over the weekend by giving her home much needed repairs, including repairing broken windows and even part of a collapsed roof. Countess, who gets around with the aid of walker, sat comfortably as more than two- dozen volunteers roamed in and out of her house, scraping, cleaning and vacuuming. They replaced her stove and removed loads of old items and trash. The volunteers started at about 8 a.m. and didnt finish until 4 p.m. There was a lot of stuff they had to get rid of, Countess son Martin Young said. It was at least 30 people. Young said his mother always helps others despite her own problems, like having her roof collapse suddenly. If she cant provide for the homeless who come to her for help, she gets them help through her parish priest at St.
Georges Catholic Church in Valley Lee. A lot of it she takes from her own money, Young said of his mother. She still feeds them if they come up to her place. She really doesnt say much about it, she just does it, Young said. Countess was happy not only to have so much help around the house, but also someone to keep her company. You know me I love people and I love to run my mouth, Countess, 78, said. They did a great job. Those girls worked like you wouldnt believe. The help was much needed since the cave in of the roof in one bedroom had happened three weeks ago and her son was only able to make minor repairs. They were so friendly they did a beautiful job of cleaning, Countess said. guyleonard@countytimes.net

Made in Cambodia
By Alex Panos Staff Writer Local resident Jackie Buckler travels to Cambodia, a third world country in Southeast Asia, every six months, to share a common bond with the natives fashion. This week, her lead seamstress Bopah is doing the same, coming to America for the first time to watch a fashion show in Leonardtown. For two weeks at a time, Buckler travels to Cambodia to share ideas and work tirelessly with a group of seamstresses in the heat, surrounded by faulty electric wires and poverty, on new clothing patterns. Her seamstresses are products of the Threaded Leaf Foundation, an organization to help people adjust as they get too old to remain in an orphanage. Many of the children in the orphanage were once sold in to the sex-trade, said Buckler. Without help, the girls are likely to fall back into the sex-trade, Buckler said. The Threaded Leaf Project helps the kids continue school and learn job skills. The project does not try to bring the kids to America, but rather teach them to live fulfilling lives in their own country. Channy is a typical person enrolled in the project, and Buckler got involved with the foundation after her friend, Jennifer Culverhouse, held a fashion show in Houston to support the Leaf Project. At first, Bucker was hesitant to travel across the world to a third world country, but she had a change of heart after the fashion show in Houston, when she decided to bring her own flair to some of the clothing items. I was blown away by the quality, but I was also blown away by the fit, Buckler said noting the sizes were neither consistent nor proportionate. After the show I said well I guess Im going to Cambodia. Bucker made her first trip to Cambodia in 2011, making a 48-hour trip from America to a place where electricity is a luxury. According to Bucklers estimates during her time in Cambodia, 5 percent of the country is rich and 15 percent are middle class residents who would be considered living below the poverty line in America, she said, because they are lucky to even have electricity from time to time. The remaining 80 percent of the population are homeless, living on the streets with sheets of metal propped up above them acting as shelter. While in Cambodia, Buckler wakes up each morning and is escorted on a small electric scooter to Bopahs house. When she first arrived, the women were working with primitive equipment around jumbled electric wires that could spark at a moments notice. Something as simple as a cutting table was foreign to them before Buckler arrived, she said, recalling them sitting on the floor cutting fabric upon her initial arrival. She introduced a number of patterns for the girls to follow, and it didnt take long to realize the work ethic of the Cambodian seamstresses. The work ethic is off the charts, Buckler said. She decided in January to design her own line, since the group was already completing many garments, and sell it in the United States A percentage of all sales will go to the Threaded Leaf Project and the transitional home in Cambodia. Buckler has committed to at least three seasons of selling the clothes, but knows the consequences of not making it to season four. I really feel pressure because if I dont make this work, their kids dont go to school, Buckler said. I have to make this work. The jobs are critical for the seamstresses in order to continue supporting their families and without it are likely to face unemployment most people in Cambodia sew their own clothes. Buckler has brought several hundred dollars of her own personal tools to Cambodia to help make the process more efficient. Theyre so eager, Buckler said of her relentless workers. They just want to please. Buckler visits Cambodia twice a year for two weeks at a time, and even if the clothing line does not take off as she hopes, she will continue her trips.

A young girl Channy, 20, who was sold into the sextrade at 8 years old led the way for the development of the Leaf Project. It became apparent that even though Channy had to leave the orphanage, without proper guidance her future was bleak. When you see her sweet, innocent face, Buckler said of Channy, who due to the program now works at a bakery and is taking college classes. She just wants someone to care.
What started as a trip to help the seamstresses learn new patterns has become much more than what she expected despite all the work, the trips to Cambodia are a break. My mind goes on a break, Buckler said, explaining although Bopah is the only worker who speaks English, she feels like a part of their community while she is there. Im in that moment. She has become attached to her eager and intelligent employees. She described her line of clothes as classic with an edge, with majority of the line for middle-aged women. Not a size 10, but not dead yet, Buckler said, adding the line has clothes for younger ages as well. What she is looking forward to the most at the show, however, isnt seeing the models display the clothes, but rather that her lead seamstress will be living the dream. It took weeks, and several stacks of paperwork, to get approved, but now that Bopha is coming to America, and Buckler said Bopah feels as though she has won the lottery. The runway will have multiple models clients and staff of The Hair Company on it at all times, wearing clothing appropriate for all ages work clothes with some casual items mixed in. A boutique will remain open for an hour after the show ends, and feature door prizes. The show is being held May 11 at the Leonardtown Wharf, and will also feature fashions items from Bellarus and Isley boutiques, Liviya of Houston and Todays Bride formal wear. The VIP cocktail party begins at 6 p.m. and the show starts at 7 p.m. People can purchase tickets to the event at The Hair Company in Leonardtown or Charlotte Hall. Tickets cost $10, and all proceeds will go to Hospice of St. Marys. Call 301-475-5225 or 301-884-4020 for more information. alexpanos@countytimes.net

Design Diaries...
Design Diaries is a bi-weekly segment; meant to inspire, influence and educate homeowners that are ready to make a change to their homes but just dont know where to start.
In todays bathroom remodel a lot of attention is paid to the shower area. The shower is the space in the bathroom that is used every day. Homeowners want a feeling of luxury in the shower, they want tiled spaces and no more vinyl pans. Older homes are cursed with a small stall shower and a HUGE tub which is completely opposite of how most of us use the space. So we are designing showers that are big, literally. In small bathrooms, homeowners are tearing out the tub to expand the shower. Not only is the stall getting larger, its getting more airy, with much more glass. Were going to hinged doors and heavier glass, instead of the sliding glass. Opening up the shower is a huge, huge trend. People want their luxury in their bathrooms. They want to feel like theyre going into a spa. Some homeowners are even taking out partial shower walls, or all shower walls entirely, and making the entire tiled bathroom a shower - a European approach that requires correct drainage.
We expect to see a trend towards acrylic glass panel walls in showers to eliminate grout lines for the homeowner that is tired of cleaning as well as walk in showers with no door to eliminate the need to clean glass every day! Stop by the studio to see our new acrylic wall panels for the shower and to begin your next bathroom remodel project. Visit our website at www.skdstudios.com

own desk area trash, Hempel said. The cost cutting all comes ahead of planned civil servant furloughs that are set to take place either by mid-or-late June, she said, which means 14 days of unpaid leave for each employee furloughed, Hempel said. The Department of Defense had originally planned 22 furlough days, one each week, which would have resulted in a 20 percent cut in pay for civil servants here and at other navy installations and commands. A civil servant on base, speaking on condition of anonymity, said they and others are taking the prospect of furloughs in stride. Its throttled back a bit, the civil servant said of the impact of furloughs. Its mitigating the pain. A lot of folks realize we have to do something to balance the budget we understand the Department of Defense has to bear some of that. Some civil servants have even said they wished they could take all of their furlough days at once and at least take an unpaid leave. A lot of them are canceling their vacations, so their vacations will be a bunch of Fridays for being sequestered, the source said. guyleonard@countytimes.net

A View From The
A Failed Chemistry Experiment
By Ronald N. Guy Jr. Contributing Writer A few years ago, I watched my daughter paint a dragon. Her br ushst rokes, to her art-challenged father, were amazing in their fluidity and effortlessness. The elegant flow of pen across paper created unmistakable characteristics and within moments the beast had come alive on paper. It was still a drawing by a child, but it wasnt about the quality of the art - it was her execution. It was out of body. Her unencumbered thoughts were guiding the brush. There was no consternation and no impeding examination between her imagination and her hands magical transfer of image onto paper. The point is my daughters hand and a paintbrush work together. Theres a natural chemistry between device and extremity and an innate ability to convert thought into tangible image. Transport me back in time to apprentice under Monet or Van Gogh and I could probably produce passable artwork; but Id never duplicate my daughters grace. Similarly, Stephen King said in his book On Writing that obsessive dedication can turn competent writers into good ones, but great writing is something you either can or cant produce. I experience that humbling truth often while ironing out choppy prose. There are times when stringing two sentences together exceeds my capabilities; other times hundreds of words can explode in moments. If only the latter could be bottled and consumed as needed. Sports are no different from art or writing - the naturals stand out immediately to the naked eye. A few glimpses of Ken Griffey Jrs swing, Barry Sanders running a football, Randy Moss running under a long bomb, Hakeem Olajuwon in the low post or Roger Federer playing tennis and you know greatness is before you. Each regularly accomplished elite athletic feats with seemingly little effort. There was no wasted movement; everything from mind to every part of the body was in complete harmony.

Of the major team sports, basketball particularly on the offensive end - requires the most integration to play at the highest level. Consistently putting the orange in the hoop is predicated on proper spacing, ball movement, unselfishness and close choreography between 5 participants. When a basketball team is synchronized, the game is graceful even artful. Passes are crisp, the ball moves like a pinball and plays unfurl ahead of the human eyes ability to process. When it is executed precisely, offensive basketball is perhaps the most beautiful display in the sports worlds gallery - and no one does it better than the San Antonio Spurs. The Spurs talent - with household names like Manu Ginobili, Tony Parker and Tim Duncan is undeniable, but teamwork and the perfect integration of role players like Matt Bonner, Danny Green and Towson Universitys (a shameless plug of my alma mater) Gary Neal are the root of their mastery. From top to bottom the Spurs organization is perfectly aligned and role-mapped; the oncourt product is simply as gorgeous as modern basketball gets. Ironically, the Spurs first round playoff opponent, the Los Angeles Lakers, is their antithesis. With Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol, Dwight Howard and Steve Nash, the Lakers are a hodgepodge of elite talent that has never found its flow. Coaching changes, tweaked lineups and team meetings clichs of desperate teams - have had no effect. The Lakers have been foiled by injury and acrimony and ultimately were doomed by a severe lack of chemistry. The Lakers were swept 4 games to none in an uncompetitive series against the Spurs; an outcome that secured their legacy as an apocalyptic disaster and the latest entry in Chemistry Trumps Talent, an unwritten diary of team building. Barbara Walters once infamously asked Katharine Hepburn if you were a tree, what kind of tree would you be? I suppose if the Lakers were an artist, theyd be me with a brush held awkwardly in on hand, a palate loaded with dollops of paint in the other and a blank canvass about to be victimized.

As part of Crime Victims Awareness week, kids in drug court and other repeat non-violent offenders in the countys probation program were asked to participate in an art contest at the St. Marys County Circuit Court House. On the top is a picture representing the dangers of gun violence. The photo on the bottomt is meant to represent the dangers of domestic violence, according to its artist, and show the many ways violence can affect a family. Pete Cucinotta, juvenile drug court coordinator, said the contest served as a way for the kids to reflect back on victims of crime.

Wanderings
of an Aimless
Min
You think its going to be a normal day, and you set out to have a normal day, but does that ever really happen? Not usually for me. Yesterday was one of those days. As you probably remember, Monday was a rainy day. I had my day planned out: run to the podiatrist, go to Staples, grab a couple Caf Mochas with which to surprise each of my two sons at their works, get some round wood strips at Dysons lumber supply, get blood work drawn, then home to write my article. Great plan. Great Mills is where the plan came to a screeching, crunching, grinding halt. I found out I still have to be in the boot for a few more weeks, but I can wear regular shoes when at home. Yay! I picked up coffee and treats for my boys, and dropped the first coffee off at Lowes with number two son. He mentioned that I might want to stop by his house and see the baby and pick up some baby shower thank you cards to hand out to my friends. I stopped at Chancellors Run Park to contact number one son and see if I could drop off his coffee. I waited and didnt hear back right away, so I thought Ill go to Dysons Lumber and Hardware Store first and then go back to the Great Mills Rd./Rt. 5 office park where my son works. So, I was happily turning into Dysons when the car decided it wanted to slide to the right, even though I was steering into the lot. It was in slow motion, as I gently slid up over the yellow curb and kept sliding while hearing loud crunching and grinding as I slowly slid over the edge of a 400ft. deep embankment. Oh sorry, it was probably only 3 or 4ft, but looked like 400ft to me at the time. The car was leaning precariously over the edge with me hanging to the right in my seatbelt looking at the overturned coffee spilled on the other side of the car all over the thank you notes. Of course purse, phone, bag of paperwork and the treat bag were all up against the passenger door. I started smelling something melting and thought hmmm, this could be a problem. I was trying to peer up out of the windows to see if anyone was around, when I saw a man coming out of Dysons. I rolled down the window and started yelling help. He immediately ran up, as did all the men that work in the back lot. What a great feeling to see a bunch of handsome strong men coming to your aid. Thank you - all of you. Unbeknownst to me a policeman, Deputy Rogers, happened to be driving by at the same time. Deputy Rogers and all those wonderful men lifted me up and out of the car. I had a difficult moment when I couldnt get my boot out, and also apologized for not losing more weight at this point. They sent me inside out of the rain into Dysons. What wonderful people, they talked with me and took care of me until my son arrived and soon after, my husband. Willie, the tow truck driver came up fast to get the car out, and told my husband I should still get seen at St. Marys Hospital ER which we did, and everyone was sweet and attentive there too. Again, thank you to everyone one who helped me yesterday. I have a sprained wrist and Im a little sore from hanging in the seatbelt, none of which feels too different than my regular arthritis pains. And I broke a nail - which really upset me. So Im fine, several people got a good show. Now, to that couple who were laughing hysterically in their pickup truck... To each new days unforeseen adventure, Shelby
