The Calvert Library Foundation honored two longtime supporters of libraries and education during their 2015
Awards Dinner on Sept. 19 The Honorable Wilson H. Parran and M. Kiplinger
Hine, Jr.
Annette and Malcolm Funn introduced Parran and Patricia Hoffman introduced Hine. The honorees both took
a moment to thank the foundation and to
talk about the impact books and libraries
have had on their lives.
Books gave me access to the rest of
the world, Parran said.
Hine, who has been involved in the
Southern Maryland Regional Library
Association and the Calvert Library
Board of Trustees, has seen the libraries
in Southern Maryland evolve.
A modern library is a community
center and a community builder, Hine
said.

Storytelling and
Butterflies Help Heal the
Hurt of Grief & Loss
72 Monarch Butterflies were released in

memory of loved ones at
Chesapeake Highlands
Memorial Gardens on
Sunday, September 20.
Over 100 people came
together to reflect how
loved ones who have
died continue to impact
their lives today. The
event was intended to
celebrate the memory
of loved ones as well as
to create a setting for
those gathered to give
heart-centered attention
to their own emotional
and spiritual journey
through grief.
Marcianna Kreamer,
General Manager for
Chesapeake Highland
Memorial
Gardens,
stated in her welcoming
comments as event host,
It is our hope, after
three years, to see this
become an annual event
for Calvert County, free
and open to the public.
In her words to the audience, Kreamer shared,
Since we have been a
longtime community supporter of Calvert Hospice, the idea of us working together made perfect sense. Our heartfelt
desire for you today is that when you
release your butterfly, you also release
pain and in place of it, gain hope.
Brenda Laughhunn, Executive Director for Calvert Hospice, stated that
Calvert Hospice was grateful to partner
with community agencies like Marcianna Kreamer and Chesapeake Highlands
Memorial Gardens. We can vastly
multiply our capacity for good when
we join together like this, rather than
by simply adding up our individual efforts. Laughhunn went shared that Calvert Hospices Bereavement Programs
and the Burnett Calvert Hospice House
are open to Calvert County residents
and rely solely on the generosity of the
Calvert community to keep these programs available because we do not receive direct financial reimbursement to
cover those costs. She stated that Calvert Hospice is dedicated to deliver the
best care possible when it is needed the
most. When persons are granted the opportunity to focus on the quality of their
life, rather than aggressive, curative
treatment which would only deplete and
interfere with those dwindling opportunities, they can tend to personal goals,
final life messages, healing relationships
and finding spiritual peace.
Linzy Laughhunn, Community Outreach Specialist for Calvert Hospice,
shared in a brief message of reflection,
Finding healing and hope through the
grieving process is related to remembering and re-telling the stories of those
loved ones who shaped our own story.
He went on to invite those gathered to
see the butterfly as a symbol of how
lives change and are transformed and
that even as we see

the butterfly transition through each of
its stages as egg, larvae, caterpillar, and
the chrysalis, it is this
final stage that is most
striking and memorable. He drew the parallel to how, We often see and celebrate
with our families in
hospice care that a
persons experience
of life and sense of
worth continue to offer new possibilities
right up to the last
moment.
Laughhunn drew upon the
wisdom of renowned
hospice and palliative care physician,
Dr Ira Byock, saying, Its really not
that
complicated.
It boils down to 12
words that Dr Byock
observed through his
years with countless families facing
serious illness and
nearing the end of
life. Those 12 words
are I love you, I thank you, I forgive
you, and Please forgive me. Laughhunn reminded the audience, The challenging part is to stay current with these
powerful messages in our relationships
in the here-and-now, and not wait until
the last weeks or even days of our life.
He concluded with the poem We Remember Them.
The Butterfly Release involved opportunities for persons to participate
in several symbolic reflections using
stones, rose petals, a reading of names,
and a symbolic Wall of Memory story
board. Dulcimer music was provided by
Susan Hood, a Calvert Hospice nurse,
and her husband Doug. The pinnacle of
the experience was the individual release of 72 Monarch butterflies by family
members and friends, evoking emotions
from laughter to tears. Spontaneous stories were recalled and new memories
inspired by their Monarch butterfly. A
time for refreshment, sharing and gathering information about grief programs
and services was provided by Calvert
Hospice and Chesapeake Highlands Memorial Gardens.
Calvert Hospice is passionately dedicated to providing Hospice care for anyone experiencing a life-limiting illness.
Bereavement services are also available
for children, teens and adults who have
lost loved ones. For more information
about Calvert Hospice and our Bereavement Programs, events, and services,

Service Organizations Band Together to Help Families

Facing Eviction from Hallowing Point Trailer Park
By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
The Hallowing Point Trailer Park has

been facing a number of challenges, starting when the Calvert County Health Department was alerted to potential issues
with water and sewerage in winter 2013.
When the problems were brought to the
Health Departments attention, inspectors
were sent out and found there were areas of
raw sewerage, broken water and sewerage
pipes, and more issues requiring immediate attention, said Health Director Laurence Polsky. Some of the septic systems
dated back to the 1950s. Compounding the
issues was the fact that to keep their water
pipes from freezing and bursting, renters at
the trailer park had to leave their water running slightly. This exhausted the drinking
water reservoir, Polsky said. At that time,
the two biggest concerns were clean drinking water and the proper disposal of waste.
12 families were relocated immediately
and housed at a local motel while the landlord made repairs.
In August, the Maryland Department of
Natural Recourses purchased the property
for $1.9 million with plans to take possession of the property in 2016.
Following legal action by trailer park
owner Mike Mona and a court order issued
on Sept. 15, residents still living at Hallowing Point are facing eviction on Oct.
18, said Safe Nights Program Director Sue
Bilek. There are approximately 20 households, nearly 100 people, who will be affected by the eviction, she said.
Bilek and a number of local service organizations, including Project ECHO,

the Calvert County Housing Authority,
SMILE, the Calvert Interfaith Council,
Community Ministry, and Calvert Department of Social Services, met on Sept. 14 to
discuss options and ways to help the soonto-be-displaced families.

an eyesore and lay all the cost on people,

Bilek said.
The biggest need right now is emergency
housing, Bilek said. Safe Nights isnt scheduled to open until Nov. 14. Service organizations are putting out an appeal to realtors
and landlords to offer a break on rent rates,
waive background checks, or find another
way to help relocate residents from Hallowing Point Trailer Park. Rent at Hallowing
Point Trailer Park was approximately $700
per unit, Bilek said.
Community Ministry is serving as the
point to contact to field offers and match
families with opportunities, said organization President Betsy VanAuker.
St. John Vianney Church is donating up
to $2,400, VanAuker said. There will also

be financial help available from the Calvert
Housing Authority, according to Director
of Rental Services Amy Crisp. Every year,
the Housing Authority gets approximately
$30,000 from the Rental Allowance Program, which they intend to use to help as
many people as possible. Funds can be used
to help families pay for their rent, making
up the difference between what they were
paying at Hallowing Point and what their
new rent will be. In 2014, five families
displaced by the water and sewerage were
placed in Section Eight housing, but currently the list is closed to new applicants,
Crisp said.
Anyone wanting to help residents at Hallowing Point Trailer Park are encouraged
to reach out to one of the local service organizations. Individuals going to the trailer
park directly, including County Times
photographer Frank Marquart, have been
confronted and questioned by independent
security and escorted from the property.
Bilek said she no longer picks up individuals at Hollowing Point. Instead, she meets
them on Route 231.
Representatives from Hollowing Point
Trailer Park had not returned calls for comment at the time of publication.

Patricia Ann
(Dreisonstok) Tyson, 70
Patricia Ann (Dreisonstok) Tyson, 70, of Prince
Frederick,
Md.,
died
peacefully in her home on
Sept. 14. A breast cancer
survivor, Pat also fought
a courageous battle with
small-cell lung cancer.
Born in Fort Dix, New Jersey, Feb.
25, 1945, Pat was the daughter of Capt.
Kenneth Baker and 2nd Lt. Army Nurse
Corp. Stella Helen (Fabrykewicz) Baker
Dreisonstok. She was later adopted by
Ernest Y. Dreisonstok.
In addition to her parents, Pat was
predeceased by the love of her life, her
only child, Andria Joy Tyson, killed in
a tragic car accident at the age of 15. Pat
also lost a close friend, Emmi Marley,
way too soon.
A graduate of Wakefield High School,
Pat was a classic child of the 60s.
While she worked for the government
for a short time after high school, she
would soon be found spending more
time in Lafayette Park, protesting for
social justice, living in a commune and
growing her own food. Patty is immortalized in both the movie and poster
about the classic Woodstock Music Festival in 1969, where she managed to have
a front-row seat.
After moving to Calvert County, Pat
worked for BG&E at Calvert Cliffs for
many years. She also worked at the local
Department of Social Services. She was
retired from Catholic Charities. Most
of her work-life involved training and
development; Pat always looked for the
best in people.
While Pat loved many things animals, flowers, music, traveling, and
shopping on QVC, her passion was jewelry, silver and turquoise, the more the
better. She was also an avid reader, enjoying fiction via her Kindle. Patty was
a very spiritual, giving person.
Pat is survived by her cherished and
loyal canine companion, Jet, her miniature poodle, and long-time friend, Norman Gray, of Wick, W.Va..
She is survived by one brother, John
Dreisonstok and his wife Debra, of
Walkersville, Md., three nephews,
Dustin Dreisonstok and his wife, Sandi,
of Merrifield, Va., Daniel Dreisonstok
and his wife Jessica, of Smithsburg,
Md., and Joseph Dreisonstok of Walkersville, Md., two great-nieces, Kaylee Harrison and McKenzie Dreisonstok, both of Smithsburg, Md., and two
great-nephews, Camden Dreisonstok of
Smithsburg, Md. and Colton Dreisonstok of Raleigh, N.C.
Pat will be missed by her Godson,
William Marley, and Goddaughter, Madalyn Marley, both of Prince Frederick,
Md.
Patty also leaves behind very devoted
friends Erin and Doug Hersche and their
children, Maxwell, Aidan and Emma
Joy, all of Prince Frederick, Md., and
Elaine Beckett, from Albuquerque, N.M.
The family would like to thank Calvert Hospice volunteers and caretakers
for helping Patty thru her journey.

Students at Cardinal Hickey Academy
set out to raise $750 for Smile Train, an
organization that helps children in developing countries who are born with cleft
lips. The $750 would have paid for three
surgeries. Two weeks into the fundraiser,
the students have raised more than $4,200,
which will pay for 17 surgeries.
I was just amazed at the amount of
support weve had from the families,
said Cardinal Hickey Principal Jennifer
Griffith.
The school wanted to do a fundraiser and
participate in the Walk with Francis to
commemorate the upcoming visit of Pope
Francis to the Archdiocese of Washington,
D.C. Seventh grade student Elliot Hipski
suggested Smile Train, after researching
various charitable organizations.
Its sad enough for kids to have cleft
lips, Hipski said, adding that the situation is even worse for children living in a
developing country. Cleft lips can lead to
trouble with talking, eating, and breathing.
The fundraiser started after Labor Day
and will end on Sept. 25, Griffith said.
One student, who wished to remain
anonymous, donated $100 that she had
saved up on her own.
This is not the first fundraiser at Cardinal Hickey, nor will it be the last, Griffith
said. The school tries to instill a sense of
community in its students, and giving to
charity is one way to be part of the community. Griffith knows a number of students who continue to give to or work
with charitable organizations long after
graduation.
Cardinal Hickey is still accepting donations for Smile Train, which can be delivered to the school. Smile Train can be
reached at 41 Madison Avenue 28 Floor,
New York, New York 10010 or 212-6899199 or at their website smiletrain.org
For more information, visit cardinalhickeyacademy.org.

CSM Theater Student Appears in

Nightmare Next Door
CSM theater major Christopher Fleming

of Hughesville made his television debut
Sept. 10 on the Investigation Discovery (ID)
Channels Nightmare Next Door series
episode, Bewitching Hour. Each week the
series recreates stories of real-life crimes
that took place in
tight-knit American small towns,
where these mysterious
murders
turned a supportive
community into a
group of scared and
untrusting strangers, according to
the shows website.
Fleming played a
major role as Eric
Keystone, the boyfriend of a teenage girl who went missing
in 1994. I learned many things about performing and acting within CSM theater,
but one thing not only applies to acting and
performing but to life in general would be a
quote from [CSM Associate Professor Keith
Hight], Never say you can't do something
the moment you say you cant is the moment

you limit yourself, said Fleming. He plans
to pursue film and television while continuing to hone his skills in theater. Fleming is
among the cast for CSM Cause Theaters
Bright Blue Mailbox Suicide Note, opening Oct. 2. For information on CSMs theater program, visit www.catalog.csmd.edu/
preview_program.php?catoid=8&poid=184

CSM Public Safety Officers Train

in Use of Evacuation Chairs
College of Southern Maryland
Administrative Assistant for Educational Talent Search Jennell Short tests

out an evacuation
chair, one of six
purchased for the
La Plata, Leonardtown and Prince
Frederick campuses, to use in a
power outage or
other emergency.
I feel a lot safer
and the transition
is easier [using
the chair], said
Short, who added
that she would
need assistance
and need help
moving her walker down the stairs if she
was unable to use the elevator. We have
already begun training emergency action
coordinators and Public Safety officers
at each campus on how to use the chairs.
While our evacuation procedures call for
moving persons with special needs to a
stairwell evacuation points we wanted to
have the ability to evacuate someone if
we had to in an extreme emergency, said
Public Safety Executive Director Don
Frick, adding, The specialized chairs
make it easy for even a very small person to move someone much larger than
themselves.
Calvert Library Presents Minecraft

Calvert Library is your destination for
imagination, information, inspiration.
and Minecraft?! According to Emilia Lee,
Public Services Librarian and head of the
Minecraft team, At Calvert Library we
offer Minecraft as a learning tool for our
customers. All of our Minecraft events are
meant to facilitate learning through trial and
error and teamwork.
Thanks to a grant provided by the Division of Library Development and Services
through the Maryland State Department of
Education, all Calvert Library locations are
equipped with Minecraft.edu licenses and
servers, and customers can log on to play any
time or drop in to one of our special events.
This fall, Calvert Library Fairview Branch
will host weekly drop in events on Monday
afternoons from 3 to 4 p.m. There will be
guided construction and crafting with a different project each week. These events are
for beginners and experienced players alike.
Bring a friend, or make some new ones. No
registration required.
For the uninitiated, Minecraft, a videogame reminiscent of Legos, is full of op-
portunities to manipulate the virtual world

around you to create and survive. While
Minecraft is a video game, experts (including Calvert Librarians) agree that there is an
immense amount of educational value in it.
The game requires you to think outside the
box and learn how to function in a different
world. Minecraft teaches by direct interaction with the player, and once you have
learned the basics, you have the freedom to
experiment and try anything. Logging into
a world thats in Survival Mode will quickly teach the player about scarcity and the
value of a resource rich environment. If the
player cant adapt to the game world quickly
enough, they will die. Thankfully, you can
always log back in a try again!
Players at the library can be seen working together to build huge structures,
fight off monsters, and farm melons in
five different worlds the library provides.
These activities not only teach spatial
awareness, basic circuitry, physics and
geometric design, but also collaboration and communication. The library is a
strong believer in this kind of supported
hands-on learning, providing a chance

for players to attempt new things in a
space where they can ask for help. Most
librarians arent Minecraft experts but
they do know how to find the answers.
More often than not, other players are the
best resource for questions and problems,
and thankfully in the library, other players are rarely in short supply.
In John Paul Gees article Good Video
Games and Good Learning, he talks about
the value of a game in terms of interaction. Games do talk back. In fact, nothing happens until a player acts and makes
decisions. Then the game reacts, giving the
player feedback and new problems. Minecraft is an excellent example of learning
through interactivity. Each game is a constantly evolving tool that develops as you
push it, and encourages experimentation,
creativity and cooperation.
Stop in to any of Calvert Library location for free play, and dont forget to drop
in to the Fairview Branchs guided building
projects on Mondays! For more information call 410-535-0291.
CSM Joins Its On

Us Public Awareness
Campaign to Help Prevent
Campus Sexual Assault
The College of Southern Maryland
has joined a national public awareness
campaign, Its On Us, to help prevent
sexual assault on campus. The campaign provides colleges with a practical
tool, identified by the White House Task
Force to Protect Students from Sexual
Assault, to engage and empower students to take action against violence.
CSM is launching the Its On Us
campaign during the colleges fall festival events on each campus. Part of the
campaign asks students to take a pledge
that they recognize that non-consensual
sex is sexual assault, that they will identify situations in which sexual assault may occur, that they will intervene in situations where consent has
not or cannot be given, and that they will create an environment in which
sexual assault is unacceptable and survivors are supported.
The aim of this campaign is to shift the way we think about sexual
assault by asking everyone to recognize their role in preventing it, said
CSM Associate Vice President of Diversity and Institutional Equity
Makeba Clay. CSM is committed to creating an environment on our
campuses where students and visitors feel safe.
The campaign supports student-led efforts that are already underway
across the country and will focus particularly on motivating college men
to get involved.
CSM is one of more than 200 colleges and universities across the
country, partnering with the Center for American Progress Generation
Progress.
The task force report included action steps, recommendations, and best
practices in the areas of identifying problems through campus climate
surveys, prevention, administration response to assault and transparency
of enforcement efforts by the federal government. The campaign seeks to
engage college students and all members of campus communities in preventing sexual assault in the first place, according to the task force report.
According to a media release from the White House Task Force, most
men are not comfortable with violence against women, but often dont
speak out because they believe that other men accept this behavior. By
getting men involved, the campaign organizers want to change this way
of thinking and create new social norms. Research shows that bystander
intervention can be an effective way of stopping sexual assault before it
happens, as bystanders play a key role in preventing, discouraging, and/
or intervening when an act of violence has the potential to occur.
As the latest Centers for Disease Control (CDC) report on preventing
campus sexual violence shows, wide-ranging, population-based strategies like bystander intervention have the greatest potential to effect positive and meaningful change. Bystander education and training aims to
heighten awareness, challenge social norms, decrease misperceptions
about sexual assault, and provide skills that increase ones confidence to
intervene effectively, according to task force materials.

Annmarie Welcomes Artists

By Muirgheal Wheeler
Contributing Writer
Artsfest is held every year at Annmarie
Garden and is a chance for local artists, photographers and craftsman alike to sell their
wares.
Tents are set up along the many paths
throughout Annmarie Gardens each booth
unique to the maker themselves. There were
areas for live performances and food vendors
set up. The event completely child friendly,
with several areas devoted to activities for
youngsters. There was a little bit of everything so almost everyone could find what
they enjoyed most from the games and shopping, to the wonderful live performances.
For more information, visit www.annmariegarden.org.

Calvert Hospice Executive

Director Stepping Down
Eric Skow and Bob Pfeiffer setting up their

performance in the council ring stage.
Brenda Laughhunn will resign from Calvert Hospice at the end of September to pursue her career with
a hospice in Missouri. Laughhunn has been the Executive Director of Calvert Hospice since January 2012.
As stated by Ms. Laughhunn: Our organization
has moved in the past 3 years from being in a very
precarious place to being on a firm footing/ and you
need to know that this is based on several outside audits and assessments by agencies we are accountable
to and that hold us to high standards. This reflects on
a great team that is dedicated and has made many
sacrifices. Proving the strong fiber of each members
commitment to each other, our families, and this great
organization. I am grateful to have been a part in making a positive difference in the life of Calvert Hospice.
I have always believed that I was brought to Calvert
Hospice for a purpose/.and a season. I didnt know if
it would be 2 years or 20. But my faith tells me that

I would know, if Im listening, when that time for
transition and completing that mission has come. I
have come to that point. It is with a mix of emotion
that I share the news of my resignation as Executive
Director.
Calvert Hospice is strong and in a great place for the
next chapter of its legacy. The Calvert Hospice Board
of Directors will appoint an interim director until the
position is filled.
Calvert Hospice provides the BEST care possible at
a time when most needed by serving those with lifelimiting illnesses, providing excellent medical care,
pain and symptom management, and emotional and
spiritual support in Calvert County.

Former CRE Stables

Moving Forward As
Proposed Community Park
The former Chesapeake Ranch

Estates (CRE) stables area that is
now being proposed as a community park received a sizeable donation on Sep, 16 from Dominion
Cove Point LNG.
The stables were removed in
2013 due to inactivity at the site
with no horses being boarded and
general disrepair of the stables
due to its inactivity. It was at that
time that the idea of repurposing the area to a community park
was born in an effort to provide
an area that could benefit a larger
segment of the community.
Local engineer and CRE resident Jay Hopson came up with a
concept that includes pathways
with lighting, pavilions, a restroom and concession stand, an
amphitheatre and several stormwater management facilities to be used as educational tools for
the community, especially children. The outer
perimeter trail could be connected to the existing wooded trails within the community. The
stormwater management facilities could include
rain gardens, rain barrels, micro bioretention
facilities and more. These areas would include
information on how they are constructed and
how they benefit our environment by filtering
rainwater runoff. There also is the possibility of
creating a small wetlands area for use in education. Soils testing will determine that viability.
The park could potentially host family reunions, small group outings, elementary school
field trips to learn about the environment, small
concerts, movie nights, plays, a playground, an
area for a small dark park and a grassy area for
multipurpose use for children to play.
Hopson and Zane Rettstatt, a former CRE
Board Director have taken on the task of securing grants and donations from the area utilities
and contractors that provide services to the CRE
community. The CRE Board of Directors and
General Manager Maggie Moudry pursued and
were granted non-profit status for the park with
the Southern Calvert Environmental Resources
Photo Provided with Press Release
Fund (SEARF), who will manage, audit and

oversee the disbursement of the funds for the
park. Funds would be sought and secured from
donors by Hopson, Rettstatt and other members
of a park planning committee to be assembled
and funds would be placed into an account with
SEARF and disbursed as the project moves
along in its phases.
The park received its first grant from Dominion Cove Point in the amount of $15,000 and a
presentation was made on Sept. 16 as stated earlier and was presented to Travis Scott, President
of the CRE Board and the other board members
by Karl Neddenien, Dominion Cove Point Media Relations and Community Relations and
Mike Gardner, Dominion Cove Point Plant Operations. The park planners welcome input from
the CRE community on ideas to include in the
park and specifically wishes to hear from anyone
wishing to become a park benefactor.
The next step in the park planning is to gather
input from the community and to begin the design of the park as the push for more grant funding occurs. The first phase of the park is tentatively planned to include the lighted pathway
around the perimeter of the park.

Southern Maryland Welcomes New Gaming Store

By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
Are you looking for a place to hang out?
How about a place where you can grab a
snack and get into some card games, board
games, and video games with your friends?
Then Helix Games is just the place for you.
Owners Bradley Scott and Michael Lehman have extensive backgrounds in gaming.
They have dreamed about owning a game
store since they were teenagers, Lehman
said, and they intend to start hosting daily
Magic the Gathering games within the next
couple of weeks.
We know Magic, thats what got us into
this, Lehman said.
In addition to a large supply of Magic

cards, Helix Games will carry a wide array
of board games. If someone is looking for
a book or game the store does not have in
stock, Scott and Lehman are happy to special
order it.
Gamers are welcome to bring in any game,
Scott said. Helix Games can host almost any
tournament, and provide space for anyone
looking to start a long-term tabletop game,
such as Dungeons and Dragons, Warhammer, or Pathfinder. They will have samples of
board games for people to try out in the store.
Scott and Lehman are working toward becoming a Wizards of the Coast Core Store.
The store will not stock video games, but
they will be represented. Scott has designed
Helix Games owners Michael Lehman (left) and Bradley Scott.
an arcade game emulator that will run on one

of the two televisions at Helix. The system
features classics from a wide array of platforms, including Nintendo, Super Nintendo,
Sega, and more. There are plans to have occasional leader board challenges, Scott said.
The store also has more modern consoles
for customers to take advantage of.
In the coming years, Helix Games will
host charity tournaments, Scott said. These

will be low-stakes games where the money

from the entry fee will be donated.
The Helix Games grand opening is scheduled for Oct. 17.

Explore Couture
By Crista Dockray
Staff Writer
Nothing could be better for the shopaholics in Maryland then a fashion boutique that
comes to you. Explore Couture, owned by Julianne P Snight, makes shopping convenient
for the women that are always on the go.
My service is catering to them, making
them feel good from the inside, out, said
Snight.
Explore Couture took to the streets for the
first time on June 12, 2014, Snights wedding anniversary. She started her business
as a way to complete her childhood dream
and live out her passion for fashion. She had
gone to school for fashion merchandising
and worked in many retail locations, so she
thought to herself if she didnt do it now at 46,
she never would. Snight also felt that following out her dream would make her a good role
model for her three sons.
I want them to keep trying and trying,
Snight said.
With the mobility of a van, Explore Cou-
ture offers house calls and private parties and

attends events anywhere in the state of Maryland, just with a phone call.
Explore Couture decided to set up shop in
a mobile van rather than a brick and mortar
because Snight wanted less risk and wanted
to keep along with the pop-up-shop trend
happening on the west coast and growing
in the east. She does plan to open a retail location looking into the future, however and
some of her basics can be found online.
The shop is aimed for women in their early
20s and up and the clothing is a Bohemian
style, which takes inspiration from big name
stores like Anthropologie and Free People.
The clothing comes from wholesale vendors in Georgia, New York and California
from brands such as Umgee, Clara Sun Woo,
and Salaam. Explore Couture is constantly
changing with fresh new pieces and holds
sizes from XS to 2X.
Snight describes her store as being for all
shapes, sizes and personalities.
Explore Couture offers accessories as well,
like scarves necklaces, earrings etc. and all
pieces in Explore Couture run anywhere
from $8 to $110.
It can be a bit daunting with all of the
many clothing pieces and accessories to
choose from, so Snight offers free personal
consultation during the shopping experience
to help her customers dress from head to toe,
if needed.
Snight fully believes that if you put on
something during the day that you arent
comfortable in, you might just feel badly the
rest of the day, so she loves to help make everyone feel and look beautiful.
Photos taken by Crista Dockray
I know I wasnt meant to be a nurse or

something, but Im all about making people
happy, and I thought well you know, maybe I
can use my gift this way, she said.
Snight also makes a point to give back and
supports breast cancer awareness, young disabled adults in need, and more.
If you are interested in what Explore Couture offers, some of the upcoming events the
shop will attend are, First Friday in Leonardtown, Leonardtown Vintage Market, and
the Oyster Festival. For more information on
Explore Couture, visit their Facebook and Instagram, visit their website at www.explorecouture.com or call 301-997-6772.

Reggie Rice Celebrates

10th Anniversary of
Delusion of Illusions
Reggie Rice, D.C.s

Three-Time
Comedy
Magician of the Year
and native of St. Marys
County, will be celebrating the 10th Anniversary of his illusion show,
Delusion of Illusions
this October at the Great
Mills High School.
His first Delusion
of Illusions show took
place at the Great Mills
High School where he
graduated and Rice will
return for the first time
since for his 10th Anniversary show. The
performance will be a fundraiser for the
Great Mills High School football team
and will be about 90 minutes and two full
acts with assistants, dancing, gymnastics,
comedy and an entire crew to make it run.
I love a full production, I love Cirque
du Soleil, I love magic shows, I love movies, and I love the whole live theatre production value, so I always try to do so
much Its a little piece of me coming
from all aspects of everything that I love.
The show will incorporate some old
tricks from his first performances, new
tricks and new comedy bits. It will also be
the debut of a new illusion, the Washer and
Dryer, which was designed by Rice and
took many years to perfect.
Although Rice has been in magic since
2003, he has been entertaining since the
day he could walk. If he had a chance to
entertain and be in front of people, thats
where he could be found. He was in every single talent show and school play, he
would perform at recess and even in class
where he would stir up a bit of trouble.
He started with magic when he was 19
at Hyperspace as a way to pay off a credit
bill and when manager Kathy Hollyer took
him to his first magic convention, he was
bit by the magic bug.
I had worked on the acting part my
whole life, and then I started to learn
the magic, Rice said.
After the convention he bought props
and started working on his first show.
He began with birthday parties and has
since escalated to doing 100s of shows
a year and attending almost every major
event in the area.
He is also proud to say that he has
opened for Michelle Obama three years
in a row at the Childrens Hospital in
D.C. According to Rice, this is his favorite place to perform and he goes up
there a couple times a month to make
the kids smile. He also does many other
fundraisers and benefits to give back to
those in his community and beyond.
Everyday I love going to work, they
say that if you love your job youll never
have to work a day in your life, and I am
blessed to be able to live my life, live
my dream, its amazing, he said.
Rice takes a lot of inspiration from
big names such as Nathan Burton, Matt
King, Kevin James, Wayne Dobson,
Martin Lawerence, and Steve Harvey.
He has even been called with Will
Smith of magic because

of his abilities to relate
to all audiences from senior centers to corporate
events.
You can always have
something that you
can connect with, with
people, you just have to
look for it and find it, and
thats what magic is all
about, Rice said.
Besides magic, Rice
is widely known for his
bright and colorful outfits. This started during
Rices first year in magic, when magician Jeff
McBride passed along
the advice that magicians always dress
like they are going somewhere better,
later. Rice took this to heart and has been
doing so ever since, and now even feels
uncomfortable not doing so.
For the future, Rice hopes that he will
take his Delusion of Illusions across the
United States and onto cruise ships. He
also hopes to perform in Vegas, the Kennedy Center, and the new MGM.
I plan on stopping at 107, he said.
Rice would like to say that he couldnt
have made it this far without the support
of St. Marys, his incubator as he calls it,
and he says thank you. Reggie would also
like to give a special thanks to Owner Of
HyperSpace Fun Center, manager and
business partner, Kathy Hollyer and to
mentor and friends Tom Vorjohan, Eric
Henning, Joe Romano and Brian Garner.
He would like dedicate this article to his
Dad, Mickey Rice.
The show will be on Oct. 10th at the
Great Mills High School. Doors will open
to the public at 5:30 p.m. and the show
starts at 6 p.m. Advance Tickets are $8
or $10 at the door. For more information,

Science for Citizens Oysters in the
Potomac
Chesapeake Biological Laboratory - Bernie

Fowler Lab (142 Williams St, Solomons) 7 p.m.
Oysters are iconic of both the Chesapeake

Bay and our efforts to restore it to a healthy
state. Efforts have focused on restoring entire reefs or establishing reserves to restore
their ecological function and to support
fisheries. Others have worked in developing
aquaculture. An alternative being explored
in the Potomac River is to use waterman
cooperatives who buy shares in an oyster
program that will plant triploid oysters in
the river that will be available for harvest by
shareholders after two years. Could this be
the future of the oyster fishery? Come and
hear how CBL scientists are advising the
waterman and the Potomac River Fisheries Commission on the feasibility of this
approach. All seminars are free and open
to the public. Light snacks and beverages
will be provided. Please contact Sarah
Brzezinski at 410-326-7460, or brzezins@
umces.edu with any questions. Additional
information and updates are available at
