Commissioners Approve
$282.8 Million Budget
By Dick Myers
Staff Writer
The Calvert County Board of County
Commissioners has formally adopted a
$282.8 million budget for the scal year
that begins July 1. The adoption was on a
4-1 vote, with Commissioner Steve Weems
opposing it. Although he did not comment
during the discussion at the June 6 meeting,
Weems had supported a property tax rate
decrease that was voted down by the others.
During comments before the vote, Com-
missioner Vice President Evan Slaughen-
houpt Jr, supported looking at a tax rate
decrease for the next budget. He said with
the improving economy We ought to begin
looking at the tax rate that is the constant
yield tax rate. Constant yield is the rate that
would produce the same revenue as the pre-
vious year.
Commissioner President Tom Hejl noted
the robust funding for education. I dont
think anybody wants to say we are not
spending for the education system, he said.
Commissioner Pat Nutter thanked the
staff for their hard work through constant
changes to the budget during the process.
Commissioner Mike Hat described the
process as a balancing act with needed
funding for services such as emergency
equipment and infrastructure You had to
look at the whole picture, he said of the de-
cision-making that faced the commissioners.
State Gives Fishing
Creek Bridge Update
By Dick Myers
Staff Writer
Completion of the Fishing Creek Bridge
replacement in Chesapeake Beach should be
anywhere between the end of 2018 and the
Spring of 2019. The more optimistic com-
pletion date was given to town residents at
the May 18 town council meeting by State
Highway Administration (SHA) Acting
District 5 Engineer Corren Johnson. The
2019 date is what is published on the SHA
website.
The project is estimated to cost nearly $18
million for construction, and more than $7
million for design and right-of-way acquisi-
tion. The replacement bridge is being con-
structed parallel to the existing bridge which
remains open during the work.
Johnson told town residents at the council
meeting that the current work that involves

Save the Date
In a memo presented to the commission-
ers by Director of the Department of Finance
and Budget Tim Hayden, the focus of the
budget that included no property or income
tax increases was explained as follows: The
primary focus of this budget remains fund-
ing our schools. School funding makes up
49.9% of the General Fund operating bud-
get and 37.9% of the six-year capital projects
budget. Education funding will be set at the
level agreed to in the new funding formula,
and includes $115.67 million for operations
and $4.99 million for teacher pension costs.
The memo went on to say: The increases
to the FY 2018 expenditure budget are large-
ly due to the following changes (amounts
approximate): over $17 9 million in fund-
ing for Other Post-Employment Benets
(OPEB), $6 million in additional funding for
the Board of Education, $3.4 million in new
stafng, new equipment & new initiatives,
$2.5 million on salary increases for county
employees, $2 million to augment the pav-
ing budget, $2 million more for vehicles and
equipment, plus an additional $1.4 million
more for health insurance.
Later in the meeting, the commissioners
also unanimously approved issuing bonds in
the amount of up to $26,510,000

The Calvert County Board of Appeals
has denied a request for a special excep-
tion to allow a chicken raising opera-
tion in Owings. The request by DAndre
Gross was to allow the raising of up to
30 chickens at a time on a slightly more
than one-acre parcel on Clyde Jones Road.
The county zoning ordinance requires the
approval for animal raising on properties
of less than three acres. It is zoned Rural
Community District.
The appeals board received three letters
in protest to the request and a neighbor of
the property also spoke against it in per-

fecta; it connects all three of our recent
purchases with our existing holdings
to create one single property, Natural
Resources Assistant Secretary for Land
Resources Daryl Anthony said. The

Workforce Training
AVIAN LLC and the College of Southern
Maryland (CSM) marked a new partnership
at a ceremonial signing at the CSM Leonar-
CSM signed a collaborative training
agreement with AVIANs commercial
training group, AVIAN Institute (AI), to of-
fer three new workforce development and
training courses at CSMs Leonardtown
At AVIAN, we believe that knowledge is
power and that knowledge can be achieved
with targeted, meaningful training, AVI-
AN LLC President Kevin G. Switick said.
Its really exciting when we have oppor-
tunities like this to share that power with
morepeople.
This is an exciting partnership and we
are looking forward to working with AVI-
AN to provide valuable training, said CSM
President Dr. Brad Gottfried. CSMs Cor-
porate Center is known for being the pro-
vider of choice for professional career train-
ing and workforce development in Southern
Maryland, and this partnership is a win-win
training opportunity for everyone. These
three courses expand the offerings of CSMs
Corporate Center, which has been a training
provider for NAVAIR for many years, while
also expanding AVIANs reach into the
community beyond the gates of NAVAIR.
The courses were developed to bring im-
mediate value to the Southern Maryland
community, corporate peers and service
members in the fleet. The three course offer-
ings available at CSM this fall include NA-
VAIR, Simplified; and Cyber Awaken-
ing and Flight Test: The Discipline. These
courses provide the so-what and why of
naval aviation acquisition, a look at the re-
alities of the modern cybercriminal and the
basics tenets of flight test.
All course developers and instructors are
retired U.S. Navy test pilots, flight-test en-
gineers, contracting officers, and NAVAIR
program managers and team leads.
AVIAN has offered Workforce Develop-
ment and Training services to the Depart-
ment of Defense and commercial clients

ated more than 60 customer unique train-
ing courses and instructed over 200 classes

mation into a useful teaching tool, Switick
said. We offer a proven and unique train-
ing approach that students embrace and like

CSM Tuition to Increase for Fall 2017
The College of Southern Maryland Board
of Trustees set tuition at its May 18 board
meeting for the upcoming academic year,
with a 1.6 percent increase for Southern
Maryland students, effective fall 2017. Tu-
ition for residents of Calvert, Charles and
St. Marys counties will increase by $2 per
credit to $125 per credit. Tuition for Mary-
land residents outside of the tri-county re-
gion will increase by $4 per credit to $217
per credit and for out-of-state residents by $5
per credit to $280 per credit. The compre-
hensive fee remains at 23 percent of tuition.
CSMs operating budget is supported
by funding from the state, the three coun-
ties of Southern Maryland, and tuition and
fees. The Fiscal Year 2018 (FY18) budget
of $66,203,592 is based on approved fund-
ing by the state and Calvert, Charles and St.
Marys counties. Of the total revenues, tu-
ition and fees constitute nearly 44 percent,
county appropriations 28 percent and state
funding nearly 26 percent with 2 percent
from other sources.
Weve been diligent in developing a
budget based on conservative revenue esti-
mates that will continue to provide quality
educational experiences for our students,
said CSM President Dr. Brad Gottfried,
adding, Despite the tight county and state
budgets, we were able to craft a budget that
minimizes tuition increases and maintains
quality services.
Within Southern Maryland CSM con-
tinues to be the rst choice for college-bound
students. We have been diligent in provid-
ing transfer articulations and guaranteed
admissions, with our most recent with the
The Calvert County Times
University of Maryland Baltimore County,
increasing such opportunities to over 60
partnerships. Because of these types of ef-
forts made on behalf of our students, CSM
graduates are able to move through their
rst two years of college near home and at
a substantial savings over state colleges and
universities. More importantly, CSM offers
an education that goes far beyond academ-
ics, but includes opportunities for students
to stretch their leadership potential, pursue
rigorous scholars or honors programs, or
take advantage of student life, clubs and ath-
letics, Gottfried said.
In presenting the recommended budget to
the Board of Trustees, CSM Vice President
of Financial and Administrative Services
Tony Jernigan, CPA, advised the colleges
FY18 operating budget reects conservative
estimated revenues which includes funds
to operate the new Regional Hughesville
Campus Center for Trades and Energy
Training, including the addition of public
safety ofcers to provide security cover-
age for day, evening and weekend hours as
well as a full-time facilities position. The
budget also includes 10 additional hours for
the Community Mediation coordinator in
Charles County to become full time and the
addition of two part-time Community Me-
diation ofce assistants due to the signicant
increased use of the Community Mediation
Center since its inception two years ago.
CSMs tuition and fees may be paid over
a four-month period through CSMs Tuition

Radio Tradition
By Dick Myers
Staff Writer
First allow me a point of personal privi-
lege. This reporter 50 years ago after gradu-
ating from college and a stint on active duty
with the Army Reserves, applied with my
mother to the Federal Communications
Commission for an AM radio station in
Prince Frederick on 1070 with 500 watts.
My family had a summer home in Mayo,
Anne Arundel County, and we often came
down to Chesapeake Beach, so I was famil-
iar with the county. I felt that in the late 60s
that it was on the cusp of development.
At the same time as we made the AM ap-
plication, I also felt that FM, with its cleaner
signal, would be the wave of the future. At
the time, the FCC had a Table of FM As-
signments in which a frequency was first
assigned to a community, and after that
happened anyone could apply. So, I hired an
engineer and we found a frequency (92.7)
and applied to have the frequency added.
While waiting for FCC approval, I at-
tended National Academy of Broadcast-
ing in DC. There I learned that an AM ra-
dio station in Leonardtown (WKIK 1370)
was for sale. We decided to buy an exist-
ing station instead of facing the hassle of
putting one on the air. I later learned that
the owner of WKIK put it up for sale be-
cause he feared the extra competition in
SouthernMaryland.
With the application to buy WKIK, we
withdraw the AM application, but the FM
application continued throughout the pro-
cess and 92.7 was eventually added to the
table for Prince Frederick. Fifty years ago
on June 1 we took over WKIK under the
name Tidewater Broadcasting Company.
In the early 1970s, a station on 92.7 went
on the air with the call letters WESM and
played easy listening music. We have been
unable to find out the name of the original
The Calvert County Times
owners. But several years later a couple
from Philadelphia, Mel and Ada Gollub
purchased the station and changed the call
letters to WMJS for the names of their chil-
dren, Mark, Judy and Susan.
The Gollubs turned WMJS into a com-
munity radio station, with local news,
weather, traffic and public service an-
nouncements. That changed dramatically in
November of 1999 when the couple sold the
station to Mega Communications, a Span-
ish language broadcaster. They moved the
antenna from a tower in Barstow to one in
Sunderland to be closer to Washington, DC.
The station has changed hands twice since
then, but it still remains one broadcasting to
the city and not to Calvert County.
The sale of WMJS was at a time when
the radio industry was changing from one
in which local people operated radio sta-
tions to one largely run by big corporations.
For instance, Clear Channel now known
as IHeart, at one time owned more than a
thousand stations, made possible by Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) rules
allowing one owner to own more stations
in an area.
Bill Santiff noted that trend and the loss
of Calvert Cotys only local station. He also
noted that the FCC had just approved in
January of 2000 a new class of radio sta-
tions know as Low Power (LP) radio. These
stations with a maximum power of 100
watts (at 100 feet) were intended to cover a
small area plugging in the hole with the loss
of local stations.
Santiff describes his broadcasting career
as bookends of my life. He said, My fas-
cination with radio began when I turned
10 at the end of 1955. For my birthday, my
parents bought me a Cub Scout Crystal
Radio Kit. With that he was able to listen
to WFBL, located just three miles from his
home in Syracuse, NY.
Before he was 16 he had his FCC First
Class Engineers License and was work-
ing part-time at that same station. But, in
college he joined the ROTC and that led
to a 22-year Air Force career followed by
working with defense contractors. His
jobs during his adult life often involved
working in communications and on
communicationsequipment.
Santiff had moved to Calvert in the
1970s while at Andrews Air Force Base. At
the time of the WMJS sale and the creation
of Low Power Radio, Santiff was a senior
warden at St. Pauls Episcopal Church in
Prince Frederick. He convinced the church
leadership to apply for a license for the
new radio service and they agreed, on two
conditions that the church would not be
involved in the operation, it would be his
responsibility, and that the church wouldnt
contribute to it financially.
St. Pauls had two other local churches
apply to operate on 102.1. But the other two
churches found other frequencies and even-
tually all three were awarded licenses, but
only St. Pauls was able to get the station
on the air.
Santiff raised $30,000 of start-up costs
for the tower, transmitter, control board and
automation system. The money came out of
his own pocket, through donations and a
loan which was paid off in five years. The
station began broadcasting on July 4,2004.
The radio station is physically located in
one room in the basement of the church hall
next to the historic church on Church St. in
Price Frederick. Since its inception it has
been an all-volunteer operation although
some Low Power radio stations do have
paid staff.
Santiff is WMJS-LPs general manager
and chief engineer. Kevin Mohler is pro-
gram director. Marty Madden who worked
for years at the old WMJS-FM helps with
announcing and runs a live Saturday morn-
ing show.
Most of the tine there is no one in that
basement studio. It runs by automation,
with music having been loaded onto the
computer as well as legal station identifica-
tions and public service announcements.
The three staffers periodically add new
music and announcements into the system.
The station keeps going with underwrit-
ing donations from local businesses. These
are like what you hear on National Public
Feature Story 13
Radio. Currently there are four businesses
paying to have their underwriting donation
announcements aired on WMJS-LP.
Monies raised from the businesses go for
music licensing fees, purchasing new music
and the upkeep of the equipment and occa-
sionally the purchase of newequipment.
Santiff feels part of a community radio
stations responsibility is to provide emer-
gency announcements. The station gives
alerts and warnings from national, state
and local government agencies. In mid-
February of this year during an 18-hour pe-
riod the station broadcast six severe thun-
derstorm warnings, four tornado warnings,
and two flood warnings.
Santiff said the station plays just about
every genre of music except acid rock and
rap. Something for everyone is how he
describes what Mohler programs.
With its 82 wats at 108 feet, WMJS-
LPs signal goes to about Huntingtown to
the north and St. Leonard to the south. But
for the last three years the station has had
listeners all over the world through stream-
ing its signal on the internet. That can be
accessed through their website or through
the free TuneIn radio app on Apple and An-
droid systems.
With the so called connected car with
internet dashboard access on the very near
horizon, the station can anticipate more
people listening in their cars beyond its
regular terrestrial signal. The radio indus-
try is nervous about that because it also
will increase competition through the dash-
board when radio has had it all to itself up
untilnow.
Broadcast radio is the bookends of my
life, Santiff said. I started as a part-tine,
FCC-licensed engineer at the age of 16. To-
day at 71 I am retired from my other career
but I am still actively running our radio sta-
tion as an unpaid volunteer.
Even though its a small volunteer opera-
tion, with Santiffs experience the station
operation follows all FCC rules and is as
technically up-to-date as most commer-
cial radio stations. And, Santiff feels it is
carrying on the mission of providing com-
munity radio to his adopted community of
CalvertCounty.

Two Local Film Festivals

Form Partnership
The Steering Committee for the South-
ern Maryland Film Festival announces its
2017 Calvert County Mini-Fest, made pos-
sible through a partnership with the North
Beach American Film Festival. The Inau-
gural NBAFF is being held Friday through
Sunday, June 23-25, and the 12:30 2 p.m.
time slot on Saturday will be a block of films
presented by the Steering Committee of
the Southern Maryland Film Festival. Ad-
ditional SMFF films will also be screened
during a family-friendly block from 11 a.m.
12 p.m.
Having successfully run two Film Festi-
vals in 2015 and 2016, in downtown Leonar-
dtown, St. Marys County, the SMFF Com-
mittee has taken a year off from the big

County Officials Urge Awareness

During Hurricane Season
The Atlantic hurricane season is under-
way and the Calvert County Division of
Emergency Management is teaming with the
Maryland Emergency Management Agency
(MEMA) and the National Weather Service
(NWS) to promote citizen awareness and
preparedness.
The Atlantic hurricane season lasts from
June to November but most hurricane-like
weather is seen between mid-August and late
October. Calvert County is at risk for strong
winds, heavy rain, inland flooding and other
severe weather. Residents can be weather
ready by ensuring they know how to get a
warning, have a plan and practice safety tips.
The NWS reports that in Maryland it is
possible to see hurricanes or hurricane-like
activity during the summer. NWS notes that
damage to coastlines and destruction several
hundred miles inland is possible with these
tropical storms. Hurricanes can produce up
to 150 mile-per-hour winds, devastating high
tides, flooding from torrential rain and even
tornadoes.
Residents can also take actions to remain
safe by practicing the following tips:
Stay tuned to radio and TV stations
for official weather information.
Follow instructions and advice given
by emergency officials.
Stay indoors during the hurricane
and away from windows and glass
doors. NRG volunteer, Mickey Gryszkiewicz, NRGs volunteers, Chet Bowling & Craig
Bowling,
Close all interior doors; secure and
brace external doors.
Take refuge in a small interior room,
closet or hallway on the lowest level.
Avoid using the phone except in the
case of emergencies.
Avoid elevators.
If you live in a mobile home, plan to
leave. Mobile homes are unsafe in
high winds.
Do not attempt to evacuate during the
height of a hurricane. You are safer in
your home than out on the road.
Ensure a supply of water for sanitary
purposes such as for cleaning and
flushing toilets. Fill a bathtub or other
large container with water. This is
important for those whose water runs
off of an electrical system.
This time of year is a good time to sign
