By Sarah Miller Staff Writer Northern Calvert will soon see a new space for artists with the opening of Cox Art Center in Huntingtown. After seeing a need for a venue for art classes in northern Calvert, Phyllis and Ray Noble decided to convert Rays former doctors office into an art center. The location had housed Rays medical practice until he retired in the early 2000s. Other doctors occupied the space until 2006. Phyllis and Ray grew tired of seeing it sit unused. We said the building has to do something for us, Ray said. It took them 6 months to convert the space into galleries, studios and classroom spaces. They decided to convert the space after hearing a desire in the community for a place to take art classes without traveling to Annmarie Garden in Solomons. The Calvert Art Centers ribbon cutting will be Tuesday, Dec. 3 at 3:30 p.m. The Grand

Volunteer Maryland is a statewide volunteer program that recruits 30 organizations per year to host Americorp volunteers over an 11 month period to help build volunteer programs. The goal each year is to take any non-profit, school, or government organization that wishes to help build a stronger and more sustainable volunteer program and help get that program started. Individual members are recruited through both Volunteer Maryland and the specific organization they will be placed in, due to their specific skill set. The organization receives a full time employee for 11 months without having to pay benefits and insurance for them. Instead, the organization pays a cash match, depending on their annual budget that directly goes into the stipend for the volunteer. Organizations pay no more than $9,450. Each volunteer member goes through two weeks of training called volunteer program management in when they learn how to grow in a program that sustains a volunteer workforce. After that, the volunteers are released to their organizations where they spend 11 months working towards the individual goals of that organization. The volunteers are direct service volunteers, meaning they are placed based on where their skills would be best suited. If there was a program who took homeless citizens and transitioned them to safe, affordable housing, the volunteers in that program would be councillors or case workers that could be used to help further the organization. Volunteer Maryland will be holding an information session at Greenwell State Park in Hollywood, on Tuesday, Nov. 19 from 2 to 4 p.m. For more information, visit www.volunteermaryland.org or call 410-767-6203 kimberlyalston@countytimes.net

COUNTY NEWS Farming 4 Hunger Awarded $22,000 Grant from Dominion Foundation
The Calvert Gazette
by area volunteers, church groups, detention center work-releases inmates, school groups and individuals who want to give back to the community. Farming 4 Hunger has teamed with the Capital Area Food Bank and Maryland Food bank to serve families in need in the region. We were in desperate need this summer for a bean harvester and through the grant from Dominion we were able to purchase one just in time for the 22 acres of beans we have, said Bernie Fowler, Jr., Founder and CEO of Farming 4 Hunger. To date, Dominion is the most recognizable company that believes in what we are doing and by stepping up I am hoping it will make other companies take notice and have them consider supporting our cause. Dominion volunteers also spent a day last week cleaning debris at Serenity Farm in Benedict, Md., and taking off the old roof that was destroyed by weather of one of the two, 10,000 square-foot greenhouses. The refurbished greenhouse will be used to grow hydroponic plants such as tomatoes, lettuce and cucumbers, and serve as an education center to children in the area. This facility will be an excellent way to teach area children from kindergarten
Farming 4 Hunger, a nonprofit organization located in Prince Frederick that harvests and delivers local produce for distribution to Southern Maryland families in need, has been awarded a $22,000 grant from the Dominion Foundation. In 2012, Farming 4 Hunger raised more than 400,000 pounds of produce for area food pantries. This year, it raised nearly 1.7 million pounds of produce such as beans, potatoes, squash, zucchini and kale. The produce is harvested, boxed and packaged

Unlikely Accountants
By Sarah Miller Staff Writer Anybody thinking an accountant is an introverted individual who enjoys interacting with numbers more than people could not be more wrong in the case of Angelyn Zephyr and Candlist Greenwell, the founders of Accurate Accounting Certified Public Accountants, LLC. The women behind Accurate Accounting may love working with statistics and numbers, but they are both extroverts who are just as comfortable working with people and being in the community as they are behind their desks. They opened Accurate Accounting on April 24. The newly launched business didnt take long to become successful, Zephyr said. They were expecting to spend weeks sitting around hoping the phone would ring, but Zephyr and Greenwell have been busy since day one. Some of their first clients followed Greenwell and Zephyr to their new business. Clients tend to find an accountant they like and stay with them, Greenwell said. People dont realize how many deadlines there are, Zephyr said. Businesses and non-profit organizations have several deadlines throughout the year, ensuring accountants are busy far beyond the April deadline for personal income filings. Zephyr and Greenwell work with clients from all over the tri-county area to find pro cedures and processes that work best for a specific non-profit group or business. Tax specialists and accountants tend to be more behindthe-scenes. Zephyr and Greenwell like to be in the community. They focus on helping and teaching their clients to deal with day-today issues, even if it means theyre out of a job when their client becomes self-sufficient. Greenwell is the firms accounting specialist. She focused on photography during high school, intending to attend art school. At the end of her senior year she decided she didnt want to be a starving artist and attended the College of Southern Maryland to find a new direction for her life. She found her niche in accounting, eventually earning a Bachelors degree and Masters degree in management, with a specialization in accounting from the University of Maryland University College. She is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the Maryland Association of Certified Public Accountants. In addition to her day job with Accurate Accounting, Greenwell teaches Principles of Accounting at the College of Southern Maryland. She and her husband are involved with the Calvert County Relay for Life team and the American Cancer Society. To top it all off, Greenwell and her husband have a two-year-old son. Running her own business gives her the flexibility she needed to manage such a chaotic schedule, Greenwell said. Zephyr is Accurate Accountings Tax Specialist. She has an artistic streak of her own, having run her own small business for 13 years making costumes for theatre
productions before working in accounting. Her choice to enter accounting was made from a supply and demand standpoint a large accounting firm had just closed and there was more business than service providers could serve. She earned a Bachelors degree in Mathematics and Economics from Smith College in 2005 and her Masters degree in Professional Accounting from the University of Texas at Arlington in 2007. Zephyr received her Maryland CPA license in 2010 and is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the Maryland Association of Certified Public Accountants. She was certified as a public accountant in Texas in 2008. While completing her Masters, she began her public accounting career with the international firm KPMG, focusing on taxation of partnerships. She began working with a small, local firm in Texas in 2009, pro viding tax preparation services to individuals as well as to partnerships and corporations. It was also here that Zephyr began a focus on non-profit organization reporting. She moved to Southern Maryland in 2010 with her defense contractor husband. Like Greenwell, Zephyr worked in other local firms before taking the leap back into self-employment. Accurate Accounting is located at 25853 Morganza Turner Road in Mechanicsville.

Disaster Preparedness
On Saturday, Oct. 26, John Belliveau, Richard Bacon, Mark Hann and Kitty Juneau of the Chesapeake Adventist Community Services Disaster Relief team were on hand at the Seventh Day Adventist Church on Brooms Island Road in Prince Frederick for a discussion on preparing for a cataclysm like the recent Colorado floods. Punctuating his presentation with much-needed gallows humor, Belliveau urged those in attendance to prepare an emergency kit (or backpack) containing bare essentials staples like bottled water, matches, meals ready to eat (MREs)and vital documents but not so many items that they become cumbersome. Belliveau also recommended storing facial masks, since it might be necessary to saw through toppled trees. In addition to the physically disabled, contingency plans should also include the often forgotten victims pets. Frida Gray, whose husband, Bill is a retired construction worker, suggested pet owners should add pet taxis to the inventory of essentials. Juneau suggested families should have a designated rendezvous point, and urged them to be specific for example, under the swing sets rather than simply on the school playground. Belliveau and other team members see Bible prophesy being fulfilled not just in the frequency of natural disasters, but in their severity as well. If adversity brings out the best in people, it also has the opposite effect. Belliveau stated that he has seen things he would sooner but cant forget. Community Services members served some 120 people in Greeley and Loveland during the recent Colorado floods. In the wake of tragic incidents like those in Connecticut and Washington D.C., the group has added menacing and armed individuals to the list of eventualities. Belliveau said churches and places of assembly should have at least one alternate escape route in the event of fire or tornado. One cataclysm will occasionally set off a chain reaction, Belliveau said. In one week, he saw three separate calamities in the wake of hurricane Irene in 2011. Bellivue recommends storing the following personal care items in a gallon-size Ziploc bag: Wash cloth Soap Toothbrush Toothpaste Deodorant Lotion Shampoo Conditioner Comb/ hair brush Nail File Safety Razor Shaving cream Band aids Mouthwash Feminine care items Like caring neighbors, the men and women of the Chesapeake Adventist Community Services Disaster Relief squad are on hand to assist wherever nature unleashes its raw fury.

Committees Forming To Support Local Community ri-County Cruisers Support Calvert Hospice
th Adult Day Care of Calvert County, a local independent nonprofit organization, is in search of volunteers to serve on either of the following committees: The Community Caregiver Support Committee or The Event Planning & Organizing Committee. Gather your friends! Make new connections! We need at least 6 committee members with a desire to make a difference in our local community in order for each committee to proceed. The launch of The Community Caregiver Support Committee is dependent entirely upon community volunteers. Our hope is to be able to host free monthly informal community caregiver appreciation receptions, groups/clubs, and/or perhaps a Neighborhood Memory Caf, a non-medical social environment designed for people with memory loss and their caregivers. The committee members will be on the ground floor of planning ways to support our anyone in Calvert County who is faced with caregiver challenges, especially with caring for someone with dementia. The Event Planning & Organizing Committee will be a board support mechanism to help Adult Day Care of Calvert County host events to help educate the community about our local Adult Medical Day Care (AMDC) center and to help raise additional funds necessary to sustain the structured day program for elderly and disabled adults in need of daytime professional care and supervision, regardless of financial means. A small organization with limited means and a limited base of current program participants family members alone is not enough manpower to support this important task. Established in 1986, licensed and regulated by the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DHMH), Adult Day Care of Calvert County is not a county funded agency. Budgeting is driven by participant fees, participant fee grants, reimbursements, and philanthropic support in the form of in-kind and monetary donations. Necessary to run the program is a professional staff, transportation, and a meal component (lunch & two snacks daily). Our professional staff is paid well below the national and regional average, have no healthcare benefits, and wage increases in the last 10 years have been almost non-existent. Our immediate goal is financial sustainability, with an secondary goal of caring for the dedicated staff who cares for our participants. Community support has declined within the past several years, especially when it comes to serving on committees and monetary donations. To inquire about serving on a committee contact Ruth Lake at director.adc@gmail.com or 410-535-0133. To donate to the program, visit www.adcofcalvertcounty.org or donate through your workplace: CFC#50324; MCC#2294; United Way Community Partner.
