Richard J. Cross, III:


Of Hogan, Negan,
And The Politics Of
The Walking Dead
Recently I have been thinking about
the controversial season finale of a longrunning televised drama.
In the shows final moments, a group
of protagonists are confronted by a lethal
new nemesis. Self-righteous and buoyed
by past wins against morally inferior adversaries, this band of heroes lives behind
the walls of a sheltered city. They regard
themselves as the only true source of hope
for individuals struggling for daily survival in a challenging environment.
The nemesis is a charismatic interloper
who wields a baseball bat as a symbol of
his power. His ability to communicate
helped him build his own rival army of
followers not beholden to the status quo.
Attempts by the protagonists to defeat him
using proven methods have failed, leaving
them frustrated by, and ultimately subjugated to, his authority.
Just to avoid any confusionno, I am
not talking about The Walking Dead. The
drama in question here is the conclusion of
the 2016 session of the Maryland General
Assembly.
Like The Walking Deads Negan, Governor Hogan has effectively used charisma and shrewd messaging skills to build
a diverse coalition of followers. And while
Hogan does not often brandish a baseball
bat, he does wield the biggest stick a governor can carry: Approval ratings hovering around seventy percent.
Like the Alexandrians on the show,
the members of Marylands Democratic
political establishment exist in a bubble
community: Annapolis, where insular
special interest politics and arcane partisan squabbles unfold apart from the lives
of most Marylanders.
They have long bested their rivals in
the minority party including the last
GOP governor by employing methods
such as media grandstanding, public relations stunts, exploitation of racial and
gender politics, contrived veto fights, and
bogeyman politics intended to demonize
opponents.
They are ardent believers in their own
principles, and regard others with a different political worldview as being misguided if not deficient. Indeed, the last Democratic governor once dismissed state Republicans as an aberrant strain of DNA.
In other words, if you do not see the
world as they do, and ascribe to their same
proposed high-minded and costly solutions, you must necessarily be wrong.
Just as the Alexandrians took up arms
against Negan, the Maryland Democratic
establishment aggressively attacked Hogan during the 90 day legislative session.
However, the old wedge politics have not
worked, and Hogan is now emerging from
the session with approval ratings higher
than when it started.
Some Maryland Democrats may now be
forced to confront two unpleasant truths.
First, the current Republican governor
may not in fact be the fluke they judged
the previous Republican governor to be.
Second, the lessons learned from de-

cades of monopoly rule over Maryland


politics and institutions may no longer be
applicable given modern realities.
So, what could Maryland Democrats do
to avoid the unpleasant fate of their counterparts on The Walking Dead?
First, they can develop and embrace
new leaders, both in the ranks and upper
hierarchy of the legislature and in local offices across the state.
The Democratic establishment typically gravitates towards recycling partisans with a decade or more of elective experience. In other words, when choosing
candidates for higher office, the monopoly
likes to promote its own.
Embracing candidates with real life
backgrounds in business or civic activism
may put the party in closer touch with its
own espoused values.
Second, they should embrace opportunities to enhance transparency and further
political reforms. By blocking redistricting reform, Maryland Democrats may
have extended their hegemony over legislative races, but in the end this may prove
to be a short-sighted strategy.
Polls show that redistricting reform enjoys strong support among citizens. As the
civil rights movement and other insurgent
populist initiatives have demonstrated, ultimate credit in politics usually belongs to
those who were first to stand up for doing
the right thing.
Third, Democratic leaders should take a
sanguine view as to why their once unassailable monopoly has lost two of the last
four gubernatorial campaigns. It was not
exclusively because of bad candidates or
the whims of the national political climate.
Also relevant was an opportunity created by the pervasive belief that patronizing leaders in Annapolis were more
interested in imposing their own solutions
from above than listening to ordinary
Marylanders.
Maryland remains a solidly blue state.
Given his emphasis on compromise,
avoidance of partisan squabbles when
possible, and focus on addressing agnostic
tax and spending concerns, Governor Hogan seems to understand this reality. His
path to reelection likely requires following
the same course.
As for Marylands Alexandrians, circumstances have forced them to leave past
glories behind and embrace the kinds of
new strategies, solutions, and ideas needed
to reinvigorate their moribund majority.
Change is never easy, but often necessary, in politics. For many Maryland politicos, failing to embrace change risks a
change in status from political survivor to
political zombie.

Josh Kurtz: Hogan 2,


Democrats 0
A few years back I was interviewing a New Mexico political wise guy for an article about what Bill
Richardson, the former governor and cabinet secretary, had been doing since he left office. The analyst
sought to compare Richardson, a Democrat, with his
successor, Republican Gov. Susana Martinez.
The elevator with Richardson went up to the
50th floor, and when he got off and Martinez got on
it went back down to about three, the wise guy told
me.
Ive been recalling that observation as I think
about Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R) and his predecessor, Democrat Martin OMalley.
OMalley in eight years presided as Maryland
legalized same-sex marriage, outlawed capital punishment, expanded gun control and immigrants
rights, held the line on college tuition, boosted transportation and infrastructure spending, and adopted
cutting-edge clean energy standards, among other
initiatives.
Hogan, in his time in office, has accomplished far
less.
And yet, Hogan is emerging from his second
General Assembly session, which ended at midnight
Monday, with another clear victory. Its time to wonder whether Democrats are ever going to be able to
lay a glove on him.
Democrats in the General Assembly shredded a
good bit of Hogans modest legislative agenda. This
annoys the governor, who seems peevish most of the
time with the legislatures mere existence.
But in the end, for Hogan and his allies, it hardly
matters, because Hogan has held the line on taxes
and fees and managed to cut a few for the second
straight session. Hogan is pretty convinced that if he
can continue to say this in two years, his reelection is
all but guaranteed. He may be right.
Its not that Democrats dont have legitimate accomplishments to boast about this session. But few
are sexy beyond the borders of State Circle or to anyone who doesnt pay close attention to legislation.
And the Democrats never seemed to be very strategic about offering alternatives to Hogans platitudes
about small government and fiscal responsibility.
Its almost as if the voters even many Democrats
are still exhausted after OMalleys eight years of
activism, and all the special rights and funding extended for the dispossessed and downtrodden, even
if they deserved them. Hogan knows it and is going
to exploit that sentiment for as long as he can.
Still buy in to the long-held conventional wisdom
that Maryland is basically a progressive state?
The legislature did pass some progressive legislation and some commonsense bills this session.
The measure to provide retirement security to
private sector workers is an important piece of legislation which had its genesis back when OMalley
was still governor. It was first proposed by state Sen.
Jim Rosapepe (D) and then-Del. Tom Hucker (D),
and has been carried in the House by Del. Bill Frick
(D) since Hucker left the legislature.
In 2013, OMalley appointed former Lt. Gov.
Kathleen Kennedy Townsend (D) to head a commission on retirement security, and its recommendations were expected to become part of Gov. Anthony
Browns first-year agenda. Except, of course, there
never was a Brown administration.
This year, Rosapepe found as a legislative partner
state Sen. Andrew Serafini (R), a financial planner
by trade, and they hammered out the final details of
the legislation. It passed unanimously in the Senate,
though 45 Republicans opposed it in the House.
Among the other significant legislation passed
this session: a bill increasing the states goals for
reducing greenhouse gas emissions; a bill to boost
clean energy jobs in the state; a bill that strengthens
the partnership between the University of Maryland
at College Park and the University of Baltimore; a
bill that calls for more transparency in the administrations transportation and infrastructure funding
decisions, and a package that increases funding for

Baltimore city in the wake of the Freddie Gray riots.


And lets not forget the legislatures early override
of Hogans veto of the bill restoring voting rights to
thousands of convicted felons.
But Hogan can and will share in the credit for the
Baltimore investment bill. Greenhouse gas emissions standards are pretty remote and ephemeral
for the average voter. Same with the tweak in the
university relationship which many advocates and
lawmakers had hoped would be a full-on merger.
The retirement security bill received shockingly
little public attention another reminder of how thin
media coverage of Annapolis is generally.
And when it came to the disputes between Hogan and legislative Democrats, whether the Democrats were in the right voting rights, transportation
transparency or in the wrong (by resisting Hogans
politically motivated redistricting reform measure),
Hogan seemed to get the better of them. He took full
advantage of his bully pulpit and used social media
to fire up his partisans. And the Democrats, despite their seasoned and wily legislative leadership,
seemed rudderless.
The Democrats need to get their act together. The
2018 election is a lot closer than they think.
Twelve years ago, when Republican Bob Ehrlich
was in his second year as governor, the Democrats
already had two high-profile candidates mobilizing to defeat him in 2006: OMalley, who was then
Baltimore mayor, and Doug Duncan, who was then
the Montgomery County executive. Both were in
the news all the time, and on the frontlines making
policy.
Sometimes they were at odds with Ehrlich, other
times not. But there was never any doubt about what
they were doing and their every move and pronouncement was watched closely.
At this point, we still dont know exactly who the
Democratic candidates for governor in 2018 are going to be. Only Baltimore County Executive Kevin
Kamenetz (D) is raising money in a serious way.
None of the putative candidates is dedicating every
weekend to the rubber chicken circuit or reaching
out to party activists in a serious way, the way countless wannabe statewide candidates were doing at
this stage of the 2006 cycle.
Looking ahead to the 2017 General Assembly
session, Democrats have at least two opportunities
to make Hogan squirm: By passing a family leave
bill and by following the lead of New York and
California and passing legislation to raise the state
minimum wage to $15 an hour. Hogan, as the selfappointed sole protector of Marylands business climate, may well come out against them but these
are high-profile issues that will generate lots of headlines and heat.
Yet family leave advocates inside and outside the
legislature couldnt even get a bill out of the state
Senate this year. And can progressive Democrats put
a coalition together to pass a $15 minimum wage?
Then consider this: While 54 Republicans voted against the family leave bill when it passed the
House last week, the rhetoric during floor debate
and in its aftermath wasnt nearly as vitriolic as
expected. It raises the question of whether Hogan
himself who after all, is the walking example of
an employee who needed sick leave last year due to
a catastrophic illness might be pondering ways to
advance family leave legislation of his own, even if
it is a watered-down version.
If that happens, then my column a year from now
will surely carry the headline, Hogan 3, Democrats
0.

Commissioners Corner

Where
We Are
Americas Lost Decade
- US economy crashed in
2008; has not recovered, and
is reflected locally in the two
primary streams of income
for Calvert County government, Property and Income
Taxes. Decisions made over
the years to weather the
storm all presumed a recovery would occur. The budget remains rather flat. Real
growth means our citizens
see rising income and increasing property values.
Expensive (Capital) projects were postponed (can
only occur for so long before
an adverse impact). Years of
salami-slicing county operating budgets reduced by
15% the dollars available to
provide required Services
and Functions. Soft hiring
(extra justification needed
to replace someone) became
norm; and early out retirements reduced staff size. We
absorbed over $6 million/
year in cuts from the state.
We have nearly expended
finite reserves intended for
economic downturns.
In recent years, FY-14 included a 1% Cost of Living
Adjustment (COLA) and
the first step increase since
2009. FY-15 included a 0.5%
COLA with a step increase
granted halfway through the
year. FY-16 did not include
any salary increases. Neither furloughs nor, layoffs
occurred. The lack of pay
increases became normal.
In short, the county continued providing services to the
citizens without passing any
burden onto the citizens. The
lack of economic growth has
our backs against the wall.
Meanwhile, OPEB (Other
Post-Employment Benefits)
essentially health insurance
costs for the retired county
staff, teachers, and librarians is a growing concern.
Various actuaries (those who
project costs as a profession)
advise we should place about
$21-25 Million each year
towards the projected $300
Million liability (about 11%
funded as of June 2015) to
ensure sufficient funds for
later years. Typical General
Fund budget for each year is
$240 Million, and we yearly
fund only $1 2 Million.
Expectation for increased

revenue from the anticipated


completion of the Dominion
liquefied natural gas export
facility will increase available funding as early as July
1, 2017; however, pent up
expectations throughout the
county (such as more money
for education, law enforcement, parks and recreations,
etc.) could easily consume
that expected Dominion revenue. Our Bond Rating agencies also see merit in putting
as much of this revenue into
non-reoccurring expenses
(such as OPEB).
We have cut all that can be
cut; implemented a Service
Based Budgeting approach
to review and expose every
dollar associated with the
500 Services and Functions.
Any additional cuts would
come from staff lay-offs; and
directly impose a decrease
in some county Services and
Functions. Citizens will see
such impact (closing of amenities such as ball fields for
example). Minimal tweaking
can always occur, but any
significant increase in staff,
services, or otherwise mandated burdens placed upon
the Calvert County government will require additional
revenue sources.
Calvert County government prided itself for years
as one of the relatively lowest tax rate jurisdictions
throughout Maryland. Our
staff cut, scraped, creatively
found alternatives to assist
since 2008. We are at a most
critical juncture where a
continued flattened economy
can no longer support the
current set of Services and
Functions. Only real growth
of our citizens incomes
and improvements of their
property values will provide
needed revenue.
While the Calvert County
Commissioners
conclude
their work on finalizing the
budget for FY-17 (effective
July 1, 2016), understand the
constraints now placed upon
this board includes the sobering reality that dialogue
for next year (FY-18) may be
quite different.

Letters

Passing House Bill 1113


I would like to publicly thank the following
Southern Maryland legislators for helping to pass
House Bill 1113 which will prevent the sale, trade,
auction, barter or offer of dogs and cats on public
roadways, parking lots, county fairs, flea markets
or any other public right of way: Senate President
Miller, Senator Waugh, Delegate Jackson, Delegate ODonnell, Chairman Middleton, Delegate
Jameson, Delegate Proctor, Delegate Wilson, and
Delegate Morgan. These legislators understand
the connection between unethical breeding and
the euthanasia of thousands of innocent animals.
I am disappointed that Delegate Mark Fisher of
Calvert County and Delegate Deborah Rey of St.
Marys County did not support this very impor-

tant bill. There are too many dogs and cats dying in our Tri-County Animal Shelter at taxpayer
expense. The supply of unwanted animals needs
to be reduced. This bill will prevent unscrupulous
sellers from earning money by selling companion
animals in public places. If signed by Governor
Hogan, this bill will become law on June 1, 2016.
If you witness dogs and cats being sold in any of
the above mentioned locations after June 1, please
contact your local animal control department.

One Way In, One Way Out

Commissioners Presented Study for St. Leonard Access Road


By Crista Dockray
Staff Writer

Calvert Beach and Long Beach have


only one way in and one way out of
their communities, an intersection at
Calvert Beach Road and Long Beach
Road. This leaves residents with the
risk of not being able to leave their
community should an accident happen and it leaves them with only one
clogged route out in the event of an
emergency.
According to documents, the plan
to add a second access route has been
in the St. Leonard Master Plan since
1995.
According to Ray Moravec, the project manager of the consulting team
from Wallace Montgomery who is
handling the feasibility study for the
county, the whole plan to actually create the road erupted in 2013. He said
there had been expressed concerns,
but it really became apparent there was
a need when Hurricane Irene hit the
county.
With the need in mind, the county
decided to hire Wallace Montgomery
to do a feasibility study in order to find
out where the road could go and how
much it would cost.
Moravec and P. Rai Sharma, the Director of Public Works, presented the
finished study to the Board of County
Commissioners at their regularly
scheduled meeting on Tuesday.
I believe in my personal opinion
that the public needs to know where we
stand today, what the report says, and
what is the end result of the report, and
that is the theme of the presentation today, said Sharma.
County Commissioner Steven
Weems was not in attendance, however, as he had recused himself before
the presentation began.
I am going to recuse myself today.
For full disclosure, I am a resident of
Woods Road, which is one of the three
options. I am also going to convey that
the Woods Farm has been in my family

for over 100 years, so this topic is close


to me said Weems.
Moravec explained that they took
the first steps into the project in December 2014 with a workshop. He said
the intent of the workshop was to get
public input about the existing issues
and their ideas to fix them.
We had about 14 different concepts
that were given by the public, several
overlapped or were in similar locations,
so we narrowed it to nine concepts and
that was our starting point to move forward with, said Moravec.
He said they looked at everything
from the northern to the southern part
of the region and looked at both sides of
the current road.
This is a challenging area given
the constraints. We have a lot of steep
slopes, we have the utility corridor
coming through, there is a lot of environmental features on top of the residential and socioeconomically features
of the area, said Moravec.
He explained that road would be
a local road at 35 mph and there was
consideration to add bike lanes and
sidewalks. They also kept in mind the
county criteria and the design guidelines set by the master plan.
They took the nine concepts back to
the community in June 2015.
Sharma said that the final question
that was asked at the town meetings
was if and when they are going to present the study to the commissioners.
So the answer to those folks was
yes, it will be presented to the commissioners sometime in the spring of
2016, so thats why we are here, said
Sharma.
Sharma told the Calvert County
Times that the three concepts presented to the county commissioners
on Tuesday, concept 2, 3A modified,
and 6 modified, were what the department and the consultants believed
to be the best three options based on
factors like cost, public feedback, and
construction.
Moravec said that Concept 2 was

there to ask if there was anything they


could do on a lower cost standpoint
to improve the existing roadway that
would solve some of the problems.
Their solution was to widen Calvert
Beach Road with the intent to provide
extra roadway width so if there was an
incident, cars could pass.
The road would have a four-foot
monolithic median and they would
widen the road enough that it would be
able to carry four lanes of traffic. They
would keep it striped for two, however,
but in the event of an issue, the emergency service providers could set it up
to still have traffic flow.
Concept 2 would also have a reconfiguration of the intersection. Moravec
explained that there is a lot of fast moving traffic that makes a right onto Long
Beach Road so they would design the
turn to be more of a 90-degree angle in
order to slow people down.
Concept 2 would have no significant
mitigation, it would cost between $2.5
million and $4.5 million, but would
only provide a short term solution.
Concept 3A would build a road that
would run from the intersection of
Calvert Beach Road and Brandywine
Road to the intersection of Woods
Road and Maryland 765.
According to the presentation it, allows for evacuation traffic to access
MD 2-4 further north, giving greater
separation from the existing Calvert
Beach Road/MD 2-4 intersection.
Moravec said that it impacts some
sensitive species areas, that it is the
second longest in length of all the studies, and it has an estimated cost of $11.4
million to $18.4 million.
This concept does meet the deign
criteria and the purpose and need for
the study and it does provide a longterm solution. It does not include a
sidewalk, however, to try and save cost.
The last concept, 6, would be a
gravel road that would be used only in
emergencies. It would be on the south
side and connect Long Beach Drive
to St. Leonard Road. It would be the
second shortest structure and the second best in terms of cost. It has an estimated $8.5 million to $10.5 million,
unpaved and $9 million to $11 million,
paved.
According to Moravec, this plan
does not meet the master plan criteria
nor does it fully meet the project purpose, but it does provide a second access route.
After listening to the presentation,
commissioners decided to give themselves more time to figure out what
decision to make.
This is something that has to be
done, there is no doubt about that, said
Nutter. The best option, as recommended by the experts, and the cost is
the end result Im trying to figure out.
Slaughenhoupt agreed and said,
We ought to get the listings of the pros
and cons and make a decision.
Sharma said that they would be there
whenever the commissioners were
ready to decide.

Program to be offered at the CSM Prince
Frederick campus.
According to Dan Mosser, the Vice
President for Continuing Education and
Workforce Development, CSM applied
for the same grant last year and were
rewarded their St. Marys County Adult
Basic Education GED program.

The Calvert County Public Schools


originally offered the Adult GED program in Calvert, but decided this year to
drop it.
A part of the reason, Mosser said, is
that a conversation between the public
school system and CSM had been going on for a very long time to essentially
transfer the program to the college.
Mosser said the college has access to
federal and state funding that the school
system does not, which would help the
program thrive.
We believe that it would be a better

fit over here, said Mosser.


According to Mosser, the grant is not
guaranteed as anybody else could put in
an application. He explained, however,
that there are really only two big agencies in the county that would offer this
type of program and that is the public
schools and the college.
I think its a logical conclusion that
its moving to the college, but its not
certain, said Mosser.
Should it be rewarded, Mosser said
they will be offering GED and ESL
courses. They plan to operate the pro-

gram very much the same as the public


schools did in order to get the students
and staff accustomed to the change.
Mosser said they do plan to make it their
own down the road.
The application will be submitted on
April 29 and Mosser said they should
hear back with a decision within 30
days. Should the grant be awarded, the
program will start this summer, July
2016, Mosser said.

Northern Middle Wins Student Council Award


Northern Middle School is the recipient of the prestigious Felix Simon Award
for Leadership and Service, an honor
presented annually by the Maryland Association of Student Councils (MASC)
to the top middle school student government group(s) in the state. The awards
ceremony took place at the MASC Convention held in Ocean City, Maryland
on April 6-8. Thirty-four students and
seven sponsors from the Calvert Association of Student Councils (CASC) were
among the nearly 1,000 people attending
the event.
Scott Goldstein, CASC sponsor and

YOUR

social studies teacher at Patuxent High,


said, The Felix Simon Award is named
for the founder of the Maryland Association of Student Councils. The award
is synonymous with the excellence and
dedication established by Felix Simon
over 50 years ago. Student governments
that earn this honor have committed
themselves to serving others and teaching leadership with passion.
This year marks the first time a Calvert County middle school earned the
distinction of the Felix Simon Award
since Calvert Middle won in 1992, the
first year the award was given. In 2015,

Huntingtown High was among the three


high school winners across the state.
The award is not a competition among
councils, but rather a set of criteria for
all school student governments to use to
enhance leadership, service and student
empowerment within their schools. To
apply for this award, a Student Government Association (SGA) must evaluate all of its activities at the school and
community level, the regional level and
the state level. An SGA earns points
for every activity it hosts and for every
event in which it participates. Points are
also earned for a written constitution

and bylaws, documented elections, and

award, an SGA must earn 85% of the

and promote student representation and

HOW DOES
A TANKLESS SPACE SAVING CALCULATION
WORK?
The obvious difference
between a tank and a
tankless is its size.
Not only will you gain
significant space, but
youll also get endless
hot water with a tankless.
Noritz tankless water
heaters last longer than
traditional tank water
heaters and are backed up
with a 12-year warranty.

STEP 5

The Noritz tankless water heater


provides an endless stream of
hot water. When the tap is
turned off, the unit shuts off.

With a tankless, you wont


be using hot water that is
stored in a tank that can
accumulate scale and rust
over time. Noritz units
allow you to set the
temperature you want.

A traditional tank-type water heater takes up to 13 ft2 of


space. If 1 ft2 is worth $200, thats $2,600 (13 ft2 x $200)
worth of space you could be saving at Noritz.

Washington Post Educator Awards Finalists Announced


Calvert County Public Schools
(CCPS) proudly announces the district
finalists for the Washington Post Teacher of the Year and Principal of the Year
Awards. David Redden of Calvert High
is the CCPS finalist for Teacher of the
Year, and Toni Chapman of St. Leonard
Elementary is the finalist for Principal of
the Year.
The Washington Post Teacher of the
Year Award, formerly known as the Agnes Meyer Outstanding Teacher Award,
recognizes teachers who exemplify excellence in their profession. The Washington Post Principal of the Year Award,
formerly called the Distinguished Educational Leadership Award, seeks to recognize those principals who go beyond
the day-to-day demands of their position
to create an exceptional educational environment. School systems in the District of Columbia, Maryland and Vir-

ginia, including D.C. public charters and


private schools, selected nominees in the
two categories. Each winner receives a
trophy and $7,500.
The winner of the 2016 Teacher of the
Year award is Shalonda Holt of Howard
County Public Schools, and the Principal of the Year is Ryan Tauriainen,
head of AppleTree Institute Early Learning Public Charter Schools Columbia
Heights campus.
Mr. Redden has spent his entire 24year career teaching science at Calvert
High. His keen ability to relate to all
students and engage them in his lessons,
plus his content knowledge and creative
planning, earned him the distinction of
being the 2015 Calvert High Teacher
of the Year for the CCPS teacher recognition program. He currently teaches
chemistry and approaches his students
with the conviction that each one can

and will learn. As the sponsor of the National Honor Society, he holds a strong
belief in the importance of teaching students the value of providing service to
their school and community. Principal
Susan B. Johnson, Ph.D., said, Mr. Redden is a master teacher and instructional
leader. He has acquired the experience
to lead teachers forward for the betterment of public education. His continued
commitment to Calvert High School and
its students success is exemplary.
Ms. Chapmans career in education
began in her home state of Oregon. She
came to Calvert County as an administrator after teaching in Japan and Anne
Arundel County. Ms. Chapman makes
school climate and culture a priority,
while setting high expectations for both
staff and students. She models professional growth by leading, participating
in, and supporting staff development

activities that focus on student learning.


This year Ms. Chapman started a committee called KARMA: Keeping Appreciation, Recognition, and Morale Alive!
because she recognizes that student success increases when staff morale and
collaboration are supported. Superintendent Daniel D. Curry, Ed.D., said,
Ms. Chapman has worked tirelessly as
the principal of St. Leonard Elementary.
Her work has affected many students,
parents, teachers and other administrators. Ms. Chapman consistently supports
her building staff members as they solve
problems, and she provides the needed
resources so they in turn can meet the
needs of students.

Southern Maryland Youth (Creative And Striving


Hard, National Society of Black Engineers, Jr.
Chapter) Soar at Boston Convention
Calvert Cruisers Youth Earn Invitation to National Racing Competition

For most of us Spring Break is just that time


away from school or work- an occasion to relax, travel or have some fun. But, not true for
a busload of the Creative And Striving Hard
(CASH), National Society of Black Engineers
(NSBE), Jr. Chapter members of Calvert
County. These aspiring engineers, scientists,
and mathematicians attended the 43rd Annual NSBE Convention, Boston, MA (March
23-27), having the opportunity to be among
the best and the brightest in technology today.
Led by Ms. Rhonda Thomas, LEAP Forward
President and Mrs. Tonya Wilkerson, NSBE
Jr. Advisor, a host of chaperones (a.k.a. advisors/parents/guardians) and the CASH NSBE
Jr. Chapter leadership, this team competed
and placed highly against other student- teams
which were assembled from across the nation.
From almost the moment the Southern
Maryland students arrived- greeted with chilly
and blustery Beantown weather, CASHs
Try-Math-A-Lon (TMAL) Teams: Absolute
Values (9th and 10th graders) and Divide and
Conquer (11th and 12th graders) began a series
of practices and qualifying rounds. TMAL is
a tutoring program meant to foster good study
habits and help students prepare for standardized test exams such as the ACT and SAT,
while also promoting competition and good
sportsmanship. While designed to have fun
and learn; ultimately its about solving challenging STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) problems and injecting
innovative ideas into the equations.
For CASHs cadre of chaperones, it was an
especially busy time as they coordinated students movement among nearly 10,000 conventioneers- a record attendance for NSBE.
To even make the trip possible, the chapter
members had worked tirelessly over the last
several months through a number of fundraisers to help cover trip costs, along with team
meetings and practice sessions.
According to Wilkerson, whos also the
ninth and tenth grade math team coordinator, our math teams preparation and performance led to us having two (teams) advanced
to the final rounds of competition. At the end
of competition, the Absolute Values TMAL
team advanced to the second round and finished sixth out of 23 teams. Certainly organization and teamwork, along with a hastily
organized prayer session led by Dorien Minor

(Calvert High), CASHs Vice President of Programs, help to make CASH successful.
CASH was also well-represented by our
middle school Mathcounts Math Pi-rates
team, that advanced to the third round with
Kensley Benjamin (Calvert Middle) leading the competition for the team, noted
Wilkerson.
Absolute Value team members included Tiffany Jackson (Northern High), Taylor Jackson
(Northern), Samirah Brown (Northern High),
Melvin Brown (Calvert High) and Dorien Minor (Calvert High). Divide and Conquer team
members included Dia Brown (Huntingtown
High), Wilbur Robinson (Calvert High), Cedric Fowler (Calvert High), Dana Wiggins
(Huntingtown High) and Jerrell Jones (Northern High). Math Pi-rates team members included Micah Taylor (Calvert Middle), Tia
Jackson (Northern Middle), Kensley Benjamin (Calvert Middle) and Nysun Andre (Calvert Middle).
The Ten80 Education Racing Challenge
team, the Calvert Cruisers, hard work paid-off
as they were highly successful, Thomas explained! Recalling the Cruisers team success,
she said: we were real good in the Student
Racing Challenge. Our Ten80 race team (using electric radio- controlled cars) won three
convention trophies, finishing second overall
in a field of 35 other NSBE Jr. teams from
across the country.
In the racing challenge, the finals culminate
a yearlong program where student-teams work
together on tasks much like how professional
race car teams function in the run-up to a race.
According to Thomas, we placed first
in our eight-minute presentation which was
given by the Program Manager Kenadi Wilkerson (Huntingtown High), Marketing lead
Alexis Hill (Huntingtown High), Isaiah Lewis
(Annapolis High), James Cogborn (Calvert
High), and Malcolm Brown (Huntingtown
High). The presentation team created a business Plan on Powerpoint which they presented
in front of two judges to explain all aspects of
the team, including information about how
and why the team was formed, who is on the
team, what each team member's responsibilities are, budget information, team sponsors,
prospects for the future, and other background
data.
We won second place for the on-line-

The public is invited to the inaugural


Southern Maryland Acoustic Music Assembly on Saturday, May 14, 2016, 1:00-9:00 pm

points race which included submitting project plans, team charters, marketing plan,
elevator speech, a three minute presentation,
community project, driver and mechanical
certifications, Thomas added. The competition in the finals was daunting and while
our Cruiser team reached the final round, they
were topped by reigning NSBE champions,
The BEAST from Chicago State University
NSBE Jr. Chapter.
No doubt about it, this chapter (CASH) has
talent, Thomas added. And we can compete
at the highest level of student competition with
this exceptional group of young people in our
chapter.
The Calvert Cruisers also competed in three
races: Fastest Lap in five minutes - driver was
Devian Jones (Calvert High); Total Laps in 10
minutes-driver was Malcolm Brown (Huntingtown High); and Endurance Race most
laps in 25 minutes, drivers were Brandon
Hooker (Calvert High); Kenadi Wilkerson
(Huntingtown High); and Jay Tyler (Calvert
High). The Pitcrew team consisted Dorien
Minor (Calvert High) and Wilbur Robinson
(Calvert High). The team was also judged on
an engineering Data Driven Design project.
Led by the engineering team consisting of
Jerrell Jones (Northern High), Cedric Fowler
(Calvert High) and Advisor Michael Richmond, the team presented the results of the
Aerodynamic Effects of a Rear Spoiler.
The work of the marketing team was impressive and was led by Alexis Hill (Huntingtown High). The team provided the SWAG
for PitCrew Station #7 which consisted of
banners, the Calvert County Flag, poster displays and pen and hand bands as giveaways.
The marketing team included Jocelyn Berry
(Ryken High); Destiny Dillion (Calvert High);
Kayla Williams (Calvert High); Brandon
Perkins (Annapolis High); Spencer Davis
(Thomas Stone) and Joshua Stubbs (Southern
Middle).
After the great results in Boston, Thomas
shared: the Cruisers have just received an
invitation to the Ten 80 Education National
Racing competition at the Miami-Homestead
Speedway, in Miami, Florida on May 20-21.
Less than a quarter of all the racing teams are
invited to National Finals. The Calvert Cruisers team made the cut!
Thomas added: this competition is a

wonderful chance to nationally showcase the


Cruisers talent and it is so deserving for this
group of youth. The team is actively looking
for sponsors and engaging other fund-raising
activities to help defray the unexpected, but
highly-valued opportunity to represent our local chapter.
According to advisor and parent, Henderson Benjamin, these young people have a full
range of activities at these national conventions, everything from a career fair and handson workshops to the special luncheon for our
six graduating seniors. And, then they get to
meet and network with talented professionals from engineering firms from around the
world. There was even a talent show where
some of our youth showed some skills we
hadnt seen before.
He added: Ten80 team member, Melvin Davis (Calvert High), cut a few dance moves on
stage, receiving a few oohs and awes from the
crowd. And, then there was Brandon Hooker
(Calvert High) who bravely took to the mic, to
rock the crowd with a rap.
On the final day in Boston, organizers arranged a college-experience to two of the
citys most- famed research universities,
Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology. Later that day, the group had free
range to explore the city which is often called
one of the most walkable cities in America.
Thomas noting the extraordinary effort by all
the chapter members, said: we dont just have
a team, were more like family where everybody looks out for each other. And, we could
not have done all this without our incredible
sponsors: Best Buy, Dominion Foundation,
Ten80
Education, U.S. Army, Calvert County
Baptist Church, Solidworks, and LEAP Forward, Inc.
On the next day, it was back on the bus
to Calvert with Miami as the next stop on
CASHs STEM journey.
