Hogan To Rollback
Septic Requirement
Sept. 19
Theres nobody that can convince me

that a septic system back 1,000 feet from
the shoreline is doing any harm, Slaughenhoupt said.
The best available technology (BAT)
requirement will still be in effect for those
homeowners still living inside the 1,000
foot buffer zone along the watershed,
known as the critical area, but the elimination of the mandate for those outside spells
relief, especially since builders and elected
officials have complained that the science
on BAT was not fully proven.
The impetus behind the OMalley initiative was to reduce the amount of nitrogen
and phosphorus leaching into the water
from septic systems to an even greater degree in an effort to match stringent pollution reduction goals imposed by the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency acting
on orders from the Obama Administration.
Opponents argued that septic systems
locally allowed much less nitrogen and
phosphorus to seep into the watershed than
the OMalley administration had claimed.
St. Marys County Commissioner
Todd Morgan said the policy change
would provide relief for homeowners who
would soon have to make repairs to their
septicsystems.
If your septics failing at least you wont
have to go to BAT but just a regular system,
Morgan said. Its a reasonableapproach.

Staff Writer
Gov. Larry Hogan has announced that
he is eliminating a requirement for homeowners living outside the states most environmentally senstive watershed zone
that they use the most technologically advanced septic systems, which many developers and property owners have decried as
onerouslyexpensive.
Hogan made his announcement at
the Maryland Association of Counties
(MACO) meeting in Ocean City Aug. 20,
effectively repealing the mandate made
by his predecessor Gov. Martin OMalley
back in 2012.
Hogans announcement comes after calls
from local officials and builders who had
long lamented the high costs resulting from
the imposed mandate.
We will deliver this much-needed relief while continuing to ensure that environmental safeguards are in place,
Hogansaid.
The change in policy was hailed by local elected officials who have long chaffed
under the regulations.
That was really great news, said Evan
Slaughenhoupt, president of the Calvert
County Board of County Commissioners.
Gov. Hogans taking the right position,
common sense.
In his speech, Hogan said that the state
needed to find ways to focus on dredging sediment from behind the Conowingo
Dam at the head of the Chesapeake Bay,
which has dumped loads of sediment into
the bay after storm overflows.
Slaughenhoupt said the mandate from
the OMalley administration never made
much sense.

Two Chesapeake
Beach Councilmen
Run for Mayor
By Dandan Zou
Staff Writer
Councilman Jeffrey Krahling and Pat
Mahoney are running for mayor of Chesapeake Beach.
Krahling has been a councilman for four
years and lived in Chesapeake Beach for 12
years. Born and raised in Maryland, Krahling started his career as an automotive mechanic. He worked as a realtor and builder
for 27 years. Before sitting on the town
council, he was a member of the Board of
Appeals for four years.
In a public statement, Krahling said
Chesapeake Beach has problems with inequitable treatment of citizens, favoritism,
and dishonesty.
We also suffer from a lack of openness,
transparency and fiscal responsibility,
Krahling wrote. Our budgets have expanded through massive loans.
If elected, Krahling pledged to be in
town for almost every day and to be available to all citizens. He said he would work
hard to preserve and promote Chesapeake
Beachs small town family atmosphere.
Moreover, he would introduce a five-year
Pctured: Pat Mahoney
budget to ensure fiscal responsibility and

establish a transparent government.
Pat Mahoney, also a councilman, announced to run for mayor at the council
meeting last week. Mahoney served as
the vice president of the town council for
eight years and has been a councilman for
twodecades.
Mahoney said his 20 years on the town
council and eight years serving as the vice
president has prepared him for the responsibilities of the office. In a public statement,
he said he led the council to pass five town
budgets and six tax-rate decreases. He said
he also authored pieces of legislation that
enabled the town government to run more
efficiently and transparently.
Mahoney sponsored the Charter Amendment which proposes to lower the monetary
ceiling to expenses that do not require the
town councils approval in order to curb
mayoral spending authority, providing
increased town council supervision over
contracts and requiring that more contracts go through the full bidding process
beforeaward.
According to Mahoneys personal profile on the Town of
Chesapeake Beachs website,
Mahoney moved to Chesapeake Beach in 1994 with his
wife and his then one-year-old
son. He worked for the Department of Treasury for more than
30 years. In 1978, he graduated from Temple University in
Philadelphia with a degree in
history. Mahoney was a youth
soccer and basketball coach for
15 years. Mahoney is also an
avid swimmer, reader and sports
fan. He enjoys fantasy football,
Maryland Terrapin sports and
Philliesbaseball.
As of press time, the candidates running for the town
council seats are current councilman Stewart Cumbo, Derek Favret, Jan Ruttkay and
PatrickSchaeffer.
The cutoff date for filing to run
for mayor and the council seat is
Sep. 13. Eligible citizens are encouraged to run. You can pick up
sample forms at the Chesapeake
Beach Town Hall. For More information, contact Town Clerk
Sharon Humm at 410-257-2230

Speed Cameras
in Calvert
The Calvert County Sheriffs Office
has announced the implementation of
the Countys automated speed enforcement program. The County is now one of
many jurisdictions to use automated speed
enforcement to reduce traffic crashes, pedestrian accidents, and save lives. The program will provide automated enforcement
in school zones with a posted speed limit of
at least 20 miles per hour. Speed cameras
provide police with one more tool to protect
pedestrians and other motorists by targeting aggressive driving behaviors.
Calvert County entered into an agreement with the Brekford Corporation to provide and maintain the speed cameras. The
speed cameras will be portable and placed
in designated school zones throughout the
county. The first camera locations will
be Mill Creek Middle School, Northern
High School, and Mt. Harmony Elemen-
tary. These locations will change during

the year. However, advance notice will be
given prior to moving a camera.
Violators traveling 12 miles over the
posted speed limit will activate the speed
camera which will result in a violation notice being issued via the US Mail. All violators may pay the fine or request a court
date to contest violation notices. Warnings
have been processed and issued for the past
30 days. Starting Monday August 22nd citations will be issued instead of warnings.
The fine for violating the posted speed limit
is $40.00 for each violation. Photo violations do not result in points and cannot be
used to increase a persons insurance rates.
Operation of school zone cameras is restricted to Monday through Friday, from
6AM to 8PM.
Calvert County Family

Network Secures Funding
to HelpLocal Youth
The Calvert County Department of
Community Resources announces that it
recently received nearly $250,000 from
the Governors Office for Children for two
programs aimed at strengthening youth
and families. The funding was part of $15
million set aside for the states 24 local
management boards charged with bringing together local resources to address issues facing children and families. Calvert
Countys local management board is the
Calvert County Family Network (CCFN).
CCFN will administer the funding in
two programs that target populations at
risk for mental health and substance use.
The first program is the Tri-County Youths
Service Bureaus Youth Intervention & Engagement program, which provides a holistic approach to youth mental health issues
with formal and informal counseling and
peer-led groups. The second program is
new and will create a full-time reentry case
management program to address needs and
identify appropriate treatment and interventions for disconnected youth and their
incarcerated parents or caregivers.
The Governors Office for Children appreciates all the hard work the local man-
agement boards do to ensure the youth in

their communities are prepared for school,
work and life, said Arlene Lee, executive
director of the Governors Office for Children. The Calvert County Family Network has identified two of the most difficult
barriers to success for young people; unmet
mental health (suicide) and substance abuse
needs. We are confident they will invest
these resources wisely, using them to help
Calvert County youth thrive.
There is a troubling cycle at work here,
said Calvert County Family Networks Coordinator Jennifer Moreland. Lack of resources like health insurance and transportation put transitional age youth at a greater
disadvantage for addressing mental health
needs. These youth with untreated mental
health issues and scarce opportunities for
employment engage in impulsive and risky
behaviors which land them in the corrections system, further impacting their longterm employment and stability.

County Family Networks need assessments, visitwww.co.cal.md.us/CCFN.

St. Leonard Man Indicted for

Allegedly Shaking A Baby
By Dandan Zou
Staff Writer
A 28-year-old St. Leonard man Jonathan
Michael Latham was indicted for allegedly
violently shaking his five-month-old son
last week.
The police linked the childs brain injury
and seizure to being violently shaken by
Latham multiple times. According to the
charging document, the displace of the
shaking appeared violent and consistent
with the injuries suffered.
The Calvert County Sheriffs Office was
first notified of the case by the Department
of Social Services on July 21. At the time,
the child was being treated at the Childrens National Medical Center in Washington, D.C. The investigator said the child
became ill three days prior and was flew to
the Childrens Hospital under critical condition. Medical staff told the police that the
child had a severe brain injury, head trauma, a previous fractured rib that is healing
and bruising around the eyes, the charging
document said.
When the investigator arrived at the hospital, he found the father Latham asleep
on the bed in a hospital room. Latham was
informed that he was not under arrest, and
he agreed to speak with the police. The interview was recorded with Lathams verbal
permission, the investigator wrote.
The charging document said that Latham
told the investigator that he had violently
shaken the baby on two separate occasions,
each lasting about one minute. Latham said
that he placed both of his hands under the

childs arms and shook him up and down.
Once, the mother of the child asked him
to stop and ease up when she saw him
squeezing the child. There was another
time when Latham slammed on the brakes
of their moving vehicle at about 40 miles
per hour to a complete stop, jolting the car
seated child around violently, the charging
document said.
Latham mentioned that he shook the
child for about two minutes before finding
him having a seizure on the bed. Latham
told the police he has anger problems and
gets very frustrated with a crying child.
Before turning himself in, Latham told
the police on the way back to Calvert
County from Washington D.C. that he had

contemplated suicide that day and asked to
get professional mental help. He was transported to Calvert Memorial Hospital for an
emergency petition later that day.
Latham was charged on several criminal
counts, including child abuse and reckless
endangerment.

Virginia Man Allegedly

Assaulted State Trooper
in Owings
By Dandan Zou
Staff Writer
A 62-year-old man from Springfield,

When Lewis asked Khondker to step out
of the car and told him he was under ar-
rest for failing to properly identify himself,

Khondker tried to used his cellphone, saying he wanted to record the incident. Lewis
asked Khondker to put down his phone and
put his hands behind his back, but Khondker continued to disobey my orders and
still attempts to use his cellphone.

Feature Story
Calvert Teachers Prepare For

New School Year
By Dandan Zou
Staff Writer
As the first day of the new academic year

approaches for Calvert Public Schools,
teachers across the district were busy getting their classrooms and lessen plans
ready for new crops of students.
Close to 1,200 teachers from the Calvert
Public Schools, including more than 70
new teachers, were back to school preparing for the new school year. Here are the
stories of four teachers with various backgrounds and experiences but the same goal
to make a difference.
Ronald Holland
This is Hollands second school year
teaching Chemistry and Math at an alternative education school in the county. His
students range from 7th through 12th grade.
Without sounding clich, I really want
to make a difference, especially with the
African American students and especially
with the alternative education students,
Holland said. As a teacher, he wanted to affect lives and give people a feeling of hope.
Reflecting on his last school year, also
his first one, the 56-year-old said one of
the most challenging parts of the job is
to identify the particular needs of each
individualstudent.
The children we get here, they might be
having some issues, Holland said. How a

teacher relates to them and addresses their

needs become critical to assure each of
them succeeds.
Holland said the successes he enjoyed
from his previous two careers he holds
a patent for electrochemical generation
of silane when he worked for AT&T as a
research scientist and he led a mortgage
team hopefully show students, especially
African American students, that anything
ispossible.
Holland was described by many a generous teacher whos willing to go out of
his way to help students. When a student
comes to class with no coat, Holland would
buy the student a coat.
And not just any coat, I would buy the
coat that student wanted, Holland said.
Before becoming a full-time teacher,
Holland worked for AT&T laboratories for
more than a decade and then moved into
mortgage banking. He said he had always
wanted to be a teacher, and he started by
first being a substitute teacher at Northern
High School.
Born in Indiana, Holland moved to
Maryland about 22 years ago. His two
adult children attended Huntingtown High
School. Holland holds a bachelors degree
from the University of Wisconsin-Madison
and a masters degree in Chemistry from

Molly Simpson
This is Simpsons first
year as a full-time teacher. She will be teaching
6th grade Math at Calvert
Middle School.
Simpson said one of
the joys of teaching is to
expand on the ideas of
young minds and watch
they grow. The challenging and fun part of teaching is to always think on
your toes.
Teaching is like a world of changing,
Simpson said. A teacher needs to be ready
for whats to come, whether its the next
days lesson plans or planning for weeks
ahead on subjects she or he may not be very
familiar with. It could also be that one student doesnt understand a math concept,
and the teacher needs to tweak the lesson
plan a little to make the adjustment.
For Simpson, she tries to put herself in
a six graders shoes. She said she tries to
create math problems that a six grader can
understand and relate to.
The job of teaching could be stressful.

But Simpson said the most rewarding part
of the job is to know that what your teaching is getting across to the students and that
you are making a difference. She wants to
be a teacher that brings excitement to her
students learning experience.
Born and raised in Charles County, Simpson graduated from Salisbury University in
May with a degree in elementaryeducation.
Maria Phelps
Phelps mother was a second-grade
teacher for more than 30 years. She was
exposed to teaching at a young age. Phelps

said she used to pass around worksheets to

her dolls and played the role of a teacher
when she was a kid.
After graduating from college with a
degree in psychology, Phelps worked with
at-risk youth in Alabama where she was
born and raised. The challenging part of
that job was to earn her students trust and
help them realize that shes there to help,
she said.
Phelps moved to Calvert with her husband in January, and she will be teaching
4th grade Math and Science at Windy Hill
Elementary School.
For Phelps, the challenge of teaching is
personally being there for every student.
As teachers, we want every student to
succeed, Phelps said. However, students
come from different backgrounds and have
vastly different stories. Getting to know
what each student needs and provide that
support is not easy.
Phelps oldest child just started kindergarten and being a parent of a student adds
another level of understanding to her role
as a teacher.
Phelps said her background in psychology helps because it taught her how to understand peoples behavior on an interpersonal level. Also, her experience working

as an outdoor educator helps her bring in a

hands-on approach.
Beth Caradine
This is Caradines 18th school year. She
has been teaching pre-K students at Calvert Elementary School for more than a
decade. Most of her students are four and
five yearsold.
We assume they know nothing, Caradine
said.
For a pre-K teacher, the goal is not only
to teach students alphabets, letters and oral
language skills, but also social skills, Caradine said. The classroom is a place for
students to learn how to talk to each other,
share toys, take turns, build rapport and get
along with each other.
Pre-K students generally have shorter
attention spans, Caradine said. Kids learn
best through play and movement.
In her classroom, students could listen to
books and music, play with tabletop toys,
do housekeeping in a kitchen and garden
shop area, write, dance and draw.
One of the most rewarding parts of
the job is to see the improvement of each
student by the end of the school year,
Caradinesaid.

our main inspiration. Does it please? Was
it fun to make? Will it sell? We have taken
courses in glass art locally and nationally,

Help Reduce Mosquito Population by

Eliminating Standing Water
Photos by
Mike Batson
Photography
The best way to prevent mosquito bites

and mosquito-borne diseases is to get rid of
mosquito breeding habitats.At the height
of mosquito season, the Calvert County
Department of General Services Mosquito
Control Program is again asking residents
to assist in the control of mosquitoes by
inspecting their properties for standing
water. Any area or container that holds
water for a week or more has the potential
to produce hundreds, or even thousands,
ofmosquitoes.
The county Mosquito Control Program
team offers the following tips:
Drain or dump tarps, buckets and
flower pots.
Keep roof gutters free of leaves and
other debris.
Fill in tree stump holes from blown
over trees as soon as possible.
Dispose of cans, plastic containers and anything else that can
holdwater.
Cover or drill holes in recycling

containers or outside trash cans.
Turn wheelbarrows, wading pools,
childrens toys and other similar
items over or put them away.
Store boats covered or upside down.
Clean and put fresh water in birdbaths or wading pools regularly.
Make sure your homes windows
and doors have proper screening.
When outdoors wear light colored
long pants and long sleeves.
Use an approved insect repellent according to manufacturers
instructions.
The Calvert County Mosquito Control
Program provides countywide integrated
pest abatement of nuisance and vector (disease carrier) mosquitoes. For a comprehensive overview of the program, visit online
at www.co.cal.md.us/MosquitoControl.

Tip of the Week
By Terri Schlichenmeyer
Playing Dead
by Elizabeth
Greenwood
c.2016, Simon &
Schuster $26.00 /
$35.00 Canada
247 pages
Your wallet is
genuine, original
faux-leather from
faux-Venezuela.
It matches the
pleather jacket you love so much and your
favorite fake-silk shirt, which you like to
wear when you drive the car you bought
and can barely afford, but that looks great
for appearances. Life is sometimes all about
pretending but, in Playing Dead by Elizabeth Greenwood, faking your demise isnt
quite as easy.
Loaded down with student loans in
the six-figures, former teacher Elizabeth
Greenwood was desperate: that kind of debt
terrified her, and she began to toy with an
idea that many consider. Rather than let the
owed-money scare her half to death, maybe
she could just fake her death instead.
But faking a death is so drastic, on expert
told her, and it leads to more problems. Instead, just disappear, which is a very different act Faking is fraud; disappearing
is easier, often legal, and you can still keep
in contact with loved ones (though it wont
erase the debt). Disappearing doesnt even
have to be expensive, the expert said; in
fact, the poorer you are, the better. Money,
he believes, is one of the main reasons people disappear; the other is violence. Love is
an outlier.
Faking your death almost never works,
said another expert. That mans job is to
track down fraudsters, and hes only been
stumped once which is to say that deathfakers are almost always caught. Some turn
themselves in after being dead a short
time; others are nabbed because they trusted someone who couldnt keep a secret.
Many dead people are found because they

boxes so the contents are visible for easy access.

do something dumb to blow their cover.
Men attempt pseudocide more than do
women.
The bottom line, Greenwood discovered,
is that being dead before you actually take
your last breath is hard work. Youd have to
leave everything behind: family, pets, hobbies, and career; change your appearance
and disconnect completely. You can never be you again, in any form. That takes
serious planning and serious commitment not to mention the heartbreaking
effects it has on those youve left behind
All fun aside and a lot of whats inside
Playing Dead is fun how many times
have you thought of chucking it all, grabbing a plane, and lying on an anonymous
beach for the rest of your life? It sounds
perfect, doesnt it? and who knew an entire industry existed to help you do it?
But before you pack, heed the info that
author Elizabeth Greenwood found. Her
research goes from someone who helps
people vamoose, to someone who helps
find them. Elvis, Michael Jackson, and
Andy Kaufman make appearances here,
while Greenwood goes to prison, to Filipino morgues, and the surface of WITSEC.
Through it all, she lends humor and eager
lightheartedness to her findings, but with a
niggling vein of semi-seriousness and the
question: could you?
See if that thought doesnt tickle your
brain while youre reading this book; the
answer might surprise you. In the meantime, dream, and know that Playing Dead
isnt one of those books youll just pretend
to like.

A View From The
BLEACHERS
By Ronald N. Guy Jr.
A Perfect 10 and an Absolute Zero

My daughters convinced that watching sports is a waste of time. She lectures
me about it and often uses it to rebut my
suggestion that shes neglecting her homework assignments while absorbed in her
electronic devices and social life an apparently far more noble pursuit than following competitive athletics. In her mind,
whats good for dad is good for daughter,
despite the gross imbalance of leisure time
afforded by her middle-school life and my
adult-with-multiple-kids life.
But shes 13, so theres no winning the
argument. Frankly, I dont need to; I just
need to win the moment. To do so, I recite a refrain my dad used on me: Do as I
say, not as I do. Once I layer on the threat
of confiscating her precious electronics
the ones her parents procured and pay to
keep connected to the outside world for
a frightening length of time (you know,
like an hour), she reluctantly, if not silently,
complies. Deep down she knows Im right.
I think. I hope.
When she gets older, Ill explain why I
watch sports. Its still about the obvious:
passionately rooting my teams to victory.
But at age 43, its not entirely about the
results. Sports are therapy now. They are
an old friend and a retreat to a comfortable
place. I watch seeking tangible examples
of human excellence, elite performances
under intense pressure, individuals overcoming adversity and teams reaching
heights beyond what their collective talent
would predict. Despite being affixed to the
couch with a remote, not a pick axe, in my
hand, I am a desperate miner searching for
golden nuggets of inspirational fuel for my
journey and for moments when life fails to
deal me aces and faces.
Sports consistently fill my tank. The Rio
Games alone offered up Simone Biles, Katie Ledecky, Simone Manuel, Paul George
and Kristin Armstrong (a fellow 43-yearold in slightly better shape than this writer)
to rekindle the fire in our guts. Sports are,
however, nothing if not a cross section of
society, so with the good comes the bad.
Watch enough sports, or even a little, and
you will encounter unimaginable egos,
rampant narcissism, cheaters and perpetrators of a myriad of crimes.
Oh, and dont forget liars.

Remember when Ryan Lochte, a 13-time
medal winner, was just the second most
decorated male swimmer in Olympic history? Wasnt it great seeing the 32-year-old
veteran winning gold with rival and longtime teammate Michael Phelps one last
time?
It was a storybook ending until Lochte
went boorish frat boy, got hammered and
destroyed property at a Rio gas station.
Then, for some reason known only to that
ego-laden, self-serving space between his
ears, Lochte concocted a fictitious account
of the event that put his teammates at risk,
dimmed the well-earned spotlight of other
Olympians, embarrassed his country and
laid waste to his reputation.
Lochte claimed he and three teammates
had been robbed at gunpoint by a man
dressed as a police officer. In reality, he
and his boys damaged property and urinated on the premises because, you know,
they thought they could. The truth, as it
usually does in the information age, eventually surfaced which prompted Lochte to
play the drunk/immature card and latently
apologize for the over-exaggerated account of the nights events.
Lochte didnt over-exaggerate. He
lied. And this from a guy who was born on
the exact day 3 August 1984 that Mary
Lou Retton stuck her Perfect 10 vault to
win the womens all-around gymnastics
gold at the 1984 Los Angeles Games. Who
could have guessed the day that produced
American perfection would produce an absolute zero 32 years later?
But I want to thank Lochte. Seriously.
At some point Ill be having a conversation with my kids and Ill need evidence
to illustrate the importance of respectfully
diffusing a bad situation, being forthright
and truthful and recognizing that a persons
reputation, while forged by countless acts,
can be undone by a single error.
Lochte will be perfect for those moments. Maybe hell even help my daughter
understand why I watch sports and realize
its hardly a waste of time.
