County Hopes to Fill Child Is There Mold at Patuxent
Abuse Center Gap Elementary School?
By Dick Myers
Editor
Many residents like the fact that Cal-
vert County is unique. But one distinc-
tion has caught the Calvert County Board
of County Commissioners (BOCC) by
complete surprise. They learned at their
Oct. 10 meeting that Calvert is the only
county in the state without a Child Ad-
vocacy Center.
The bearer of the news was Cal-
vert County Assistant States Attorney
Kathryn Marsh. Commissioner Vice
President Evan Slaughenhoupt, Jr. im-
mediately made a motion to correct the
omission. I had no idea we did not have
a child Advocacy Center nor did I know
that such a thing existed in the state, he
said.
In a memo to the BOCC, Marsh ex-
plained, A Child Advocacy Center
(CAC) is a safe, child-focused location
used by all parties involved in a child
abuse or child neglect investigation, (e.g.
medical professionals, law enforcement,
mental health providers, prosecution,
child protective services, victim advo-
cacy, and other professionals). A CAC
consists of a medical examination room
for sexual assault or physical abuse ex-
aminations, an interview room that is
video and audio recorded, and a space
for counseling.
This provides the opportunity for all
investigative parties to be present and
assist (remotely) with forensic inter-
views and prevents re-traumatization of
the child.
Currently in Calvert County, a child
victim may be driven to Baltimore or
Washington D.C. in order to have the
proper medical examination and is often
interviewed several times by the police,
League to Host Forum on
Government Transparency
The League of Women Voters of
Calvert County will host a forum on
Transparency in Government, the
Open Meetings Act and the Public In-
formation Act on Thursday, October
26, 2017.
The event will take place
from 7:00 PM - 8:45 PM at Cal-
vert Pines Senior Center (450
West Dares Beach Rd., Prince Freder-
ick, MD).
All interested residents are encour-
aged to attend. The forum is free and
open to the public.
Speakers include Lisa Kersh-
ner, public access ombudsman
with the Ofce of the Attorney
General of Maryland; Rebecca Snyder,
executive director of the MDDC Press
The Calvert County Times
Child Protection Services (CPS), Sexu-
al Assault Forensic Examiner (SAFE)
nurse and other professionals as each
agency requires different information.
Of the need for a CAC, Commissioner
President Tom Hejl, a retired state troop-
er, said a victimized child should be able
to go to a safe place. Commissioner Pat
Nutter added, This is certainly long
overdue.
Commissioner Mike Hart said of the
omission, I apologize, adding, Its Education at their Oct, 12 meeting that her
my fault. Hart said if any additional
monies were needed to establish a CAC,
he would be in favor of it.
Two options have been proposed

cessible to all investigative parties and

feet and could be divided into the neces-
sary ofce space. The scal impact (rent
for one year) for this space would be ap-
proximately $1,382 a month, $16,584 a
year.
Marsh said the need was large: about
250 a year, or about half of the caseload
of the Department of Social Services
Child Protective Services unit. She said
grant monies would not be available un-
til a CAC is established.
County staff will review the two op-
tions and get back to the BOCC with a
recommendation.

Concern Raised About Commissioners Consolidate
Architectural Review Changes Economic Development Effort
By Dick Myers
Editor
The Calvert County Board of County
Commissioners (BOCC) is moving ahead
with the restructuring of the town center
architectural review process.
Among the proposed changes is one that
could prove to be controversial eliminat-
ing review by the town center architectural
review committees (ARC) of proposed
chain stores. Even before the matter reached
the BOCC at their Oct. 17 meeting, the pro-
posal was opposed by the Dunkirk Area
Concerned Citizens Association (DACCA).
DACCA President J.P. Sherkus said dur-
ing the commissioners public comment
section that the idea flew in the face of the
countys policy of encouraging local busi-
ness. Dont give a free pass to national
chains, he said.
The word national was included in the
proposal submitted to the BOCC by Depart-
ment of Planning and Zoning staff. BOCC
Vice President Evan Slaughenhoupt, Jr.
tended to agree that maybe the word should
be removed to instead include all chains. He
noted that Mamma Lucia, which has stores
in Dunkirk, Prince Frederick and Chesa-
peake Beach is in fact a local chain.
Commissioner Pat Nutter was also con-
cerned about giving the chains an open ap-

Oyster Population Still At Risk

By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
Last year during oyster season Tommy Zinn, president
of the Calvert County Watermens Association, had about
18 boats coming into the dock on Solomons Island to sell
him oysters, this year there is just a fraction of that.
He said its shaping up to be a slow year despite last
years much more abundant oyster haul; oystering contin-
ues to be an uncertain industry in Maryland.
The native bi-valve continues to battle disease, weath-
er and water quality, Zinn said, in its bid to survive and
thrive.
Watermen had become hopeful in recent years as the
native oyster available for harvesting had become more
abundant.
In the last ve to seven years there was a relative
comeback with an increase in the harvest and the oysters
were a little more resistant to the MSX and dermo, Zinn
told The County Times.
The two diseases have caused signicant die-offs of
oysters over the past several decades.
Zinn said there was a strong spat strike when larval
oysters take to oyster shell on the bottom of the watershed
and grow about four years ago and watermen had ben-
eted from it for a while.
But that now seems to be dwindling, he said.
Jason Hiss, a Lusby waterman who dives for oysters,
still holds out hope that the native oyster can make a
comeback but those like him seem to pin their hopes on
weather and water quality being favorable year by year.
Theres ups and downs to everything, Hiss said. All but not welcome.
it takes is a good year of growth.
Hiss said last year he could dive and nd 30-bushels
worth of oysters to bring to market in just about three-to-
four hours of work; his haul Monday morning was less
than 10 baskets.
Zinn said getting that one good year of growth for oys-
ters is an elusive goal.
Water quality is a big factor, Zinn said. And sewer-
age treatment plants affect that, too.
Overows of pollutants affect non-moving aquatic life
more than moving ones.
Whats more, while high salinity levels are good for
oyster growth and reproduction, it also helps breed MSX
and dermo that kill the bi-valve, Zinn said.
Everything has to be favorable to allow for natural
oyster production, Zinn said.
Zinn said he believed the future of natural oyster pro-
duction and harvesting had little future.
One key issue was the states continued refusal to open
up what was once-prime harvesting bottom, known as
oyster sanctuaries, to commercial watermen, said Zinn.
[Gov. Martin] OMalley closed off 24 percent of the
oyster shery but that took away 75 percent of the most
productive areas as well, Zinn said.
The dwindling abundance of native oysters means that
watermen often have to make longer boat trips to get a
chance for a good harvest.
I go where the money is, Hiss said.
Chris Judy, Shellsh Division Director for the Mary-
land Department of Natural Resources, said the last
strong spat set for oysters was back in 2012, and that was
a problem for the oysters long term health.
This season is going to be less than last year, Judy
said. That was expected
For the past 20 years har-
vests have ranged from just
below 100,000 bushels to a
high of about 400,000, he said, but those are just a frac-
tion of the 1.5 million to 2.5 million bushels from before
the 1980s.
The twin scourges of MSX and dermo caused the mas-
sive die-offs in the 1980s that the shery never completely
recovered from, Judy said.
Were operating at a new oor, he said.
Sanctuaries, though not popular with watermen, do in-
crease the brood stock of native oysters, but that brood
stock has yet to accomplish its main goal.
So far we havent see a bay-wide jump in spat set,
Judy said.
The state is also focusing on bringing back the best
habitat for oysters, which is their shells.
In recent years, with the decline of the shucking house
industry in Maryland, their counterparts in Virginia have
purchased them and sell empty shells back to Maryland.
Shell is essential for spat set, Judy said. Were buy-
ing shells back in as high a quantity as we can.
But shells are less available than they used to be.
The objective is to recreate the most favorable environ-
ment for oysters to grow, he said, but its a tedious and
difcult process.
A series of poor spat sets will produce a decline,
Judy said. [The historic oyster population] is greatly re-
duced were doing all we can to bring it back.
But progress is slow.

Spider Hall Farm
Working Farm, Agri-Tourism Pioneer
By Dick Myers
Editor
In the 1989 movie Field of Dreams, Iowa farmer Ray
Kinsella (Kevin Costner) while walking through his corn-
field heard a voice whispering, If you build it, they will
come. He built a ball field.
Calvert County farmer David Cox was talking to his
wife Susan one day, telling her that he had heard where
some Mid-Western farmers had cut paths through their
cornfields and people were actually paying to walk
through them.
In 2005 they decided to try it. The couple and their three
children cut paths through the field and put out a sign on
Route 231 advertising Corn Maze, and people indeed
did come. David said he was in disbelief they would pay
$5 to walk through his cornfield.
From that aha moment has come a sizable agri-tour-
ism business, one of several successful efforts that will
be on display for the Calvert County Farm Festival, Oct.
21-22.
Susan Cox said as the result of that first corn maze the
family raised enough money to pay their electric bill. Su-
san and David purchased the 362-acre Spider Hall Farm in
2004. The farm was in a state land preservation program
and Susan said they decided to purchase the farm for their
children. It is a short distance from Davids family farm,
where the Cox family lives.
Susan had been a teacher in Calvert County (Hunting-
town Elementary School, Calvert Middle School, and
Calverton) for 37 years when she retired in 2010. A short
time later came a second aha moment, when her daughter

The Calvert County Times
Catherine came home from
college and decided to set
up a farm stand out front on
Route 231. She sold peaches
and corn. It was another
build it and they will cone
momen. People flocked to
the stand.
Susan and Catherine
talked and the decision was
made that a larger place was
needed, so they built the
Farm Stand that now sits
in front of the farm. Cath-
erine and I had a vision al-
most immediately, Susan
said.
That vision was one of
agri-tourism, but that vision
was constantly building on
itself. For instance, Susan told Catherine they couldnt
make a go of it just selling peaches and corn. So, they add-
ed ice cream from a dairy in northern Maryland, and then
milk and then meats from a local farmer.
Customers started asking for ice cream in cups and
cones instead of the pins and quarts they were selling.
The agricultural preservation regulations prohibited set-
ting up an ice cream sand, but it didnt prohibit them from
giving their customers a spoon to eat out of the contain-
ers, so they improvised. And the whole ice cream thing
blossomed into another significant business Mrs. Moos
Fresh Dairy Ice Cream.
Not being able to set up an ice cream stand, Cox said
they decided, We can do it on wheels. We stated going
out to the community. They bought one ice cream truck
and then a second and now you will see them at local
events everywhere around the area.
Susan Cox wasnt a farmer. She was a teacher from
Montgomery County. She learned about farming from her
farmer-husband David. But as an educator, she soon real-
ized her mission would to teach the kids about farming
and its three fs: food, fuel and fiber.
Spider Hall Farm is truly a family business. Visitors are
greeted by the family. In 2010, Spider Hall Farm, LLC was
established by Susan and her daughter, Catherine Hamil-
ton. Susans other daughter, Amy Rippey joined the busi-
ness in 2013. Amy previously worked for USDA and has a
degree in agriculture.
Son David is working alongside his father in the farm-
ing operation just as father and son in the previous genera-
tion had done. He has an agriculture degree from Virginia

Tech and has his own farming business.
And, Susan is the tour guide, dressed as Mrs. Moo to
the delight of the many children who have taken the tour.
It introduces them to where food cones from before in
reaches the grocery store shelves. And hopefully it helps
them understand the health and economic benefits of buy-
ing local.
Susan, you see, really didnt retire from teaching. She
moved into her real avocation, teaching agriculture, which
she had done as an aside for many years with the encour-
agement of the school systems.
For most of her teaching career, Susan participated in
a Maryland Agricultural Education Foundation program,
in which she incorporated agriculture into her everyday
curriculum.
Today there are agriculture programs in the high schools
as well as Future Farmers of America (FFA) chapters.
And, she herself still goes into the schools and continues
to advocate for agriculture.
I know my passion. I know what I am good at. I am not
good at driving a tractor she said.
Susan feels Calvert County is committed to helping the
farming community and also to agri-tourism, which is a
key part of the countys economic development plan. The
county recently hired an agricultural marketing specialist,
Jennifer Hutchins-Pettko, who is doing outreach with the
farming community to help them grow their business.
Encouraging young people to get into farming is one of
the countys goals. I want to be a role model for them but
also (for) my age, Cox said, noting that she is proof that
just because youre retired doesnt mean its time to quit.
The county hopes to create a farm-to-table environ-
ment. Cox mentioned the Dream Weaver Caf in Prince
Frederick, a restaurant that has been in the forefront of that
movement.
Of the diversification combined with agri-tourism, It
allows the farmer to continue farming, she said, and al-
lows families to perpetuate their own agriculture heritage,
which in her family goes back seven generations.
A perfect opportunity for Calvert County residents to
get to know its farms is coming up Saturday and Sunday,
Oct. 21 and 22, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. for the Calvert County
Farm Festival. Spider Hall Farm is one of five agricultural
operations open to the public for the festival.
The event is sponsored by the Calvert County Depart-
ment of Economic Development on behalf of the county
commissioners. For a complete listing: http://www.co.cal.

be hungry for revenge, and amazingly
enough, another old sea captain had
recently warned her of her impending
doom. Would she dare return? Will any
other teens be brave enough to join us?

Striped Bass Survey Shows
Healthy Population Growth
Results of the Maryland Department
of Natural Resources 2017 young-of-year
striped bass survey in the Chesapeake
Bay shows the sh is reproducing in
strong numbers. The annual surveys in-
dex is 13.2 sh, above the 64-year average
of 11.7.
Striped bass, popularly known as rock-
sh, is Marylands state sh. The sh tems: Choptank, Potomac and Nanticoke
spawns in the Chesapeake Bay and its
tributaries each spring. The survey is con-
ducted annually to track the reproductive
success of this important species and help
predict future abundance. The index rep-
resents the average number of young-of-
year striped bass those less than 1 year

SMAC Scoreboard
old captured in 132 samples.
Strong reproduction in three of the
past seven years is an encouraging sign for
the coastal population and future shing
opportunities, Fishing and Boating Ser-
vices Director Dave Blazer said.
During this years survey, department
biologists collected more than 33,000 sh
of 62 species, including 1,741 young-of-
year striped bass. The most productive
area surveyed for rocksh was the upper
Chesapeake Bay, which tends to be their
largest spawning area.
Results of this years survey also
showed high white perch reproduction in
the upper bay and Nanticoke River. Addi-
tionally, the survey found American shad
reproduction was above average, primar-
ily due to its success in the Potomac River.
The department has monitored the re-
productive success of striped bass and
other species in Marylands portion
of the Chesapeake Bay annually since
1954, making it one of the oldest biologi-
cal surveys. Twenty-two survey sites are
located in the four major spawning sys-
rivers and the upper bay. Biologists visit
each site three times during the summer,
collecting sh with two sweeps of a 100-
foot beach seine.

It is 12:46am on Friday, October 13, 2017. The last
Green Line Metro train leaves from the Navy Yard in
14 minutes.
It is also just moments after Nationals OF Bryce
Harper struck out to end Game 5 of the NLDS and to
leave D.C. sports fans to digest yet another unimagi-
nable, if predictable, playoff defeat.
I amdespondent. Jason, make me your next vic-
tim. I wont put up a ght. I wont even run through
the woods and trip in classic corny horror ick style. I
simply cant take this anymore.
As my exhausted mind unwinds and my broken D.C.
sports fans heart starts to heal, again, I ponder the
greater sports landscape for something to ease the suf-
fering. There isnt much; in fact, the two NFL Hall of
Famers who come to mind make me feel worse.
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, a man who has
employed and defended some of the NFLs most dubi-
ous characters, is threatening the employment of any
Cowboys players who continues to demonstrate during
the national anthem. So thats productive. I hope his
bluff is called.
But theres more.
Rarely outdueled for ultimate villain status, Joness
insulated billionaire owner muscle-ex was one-upped
by another NFL legend: Mike Ditka. During a recent
radio interview with Jim Gray, Ditka, the one-time
hard-nosed player and coach turned lovable NFL icon,
said There has been no racial oppression in the last
Toasting Tomorrow
100 years that I know of. Wait. What?
Ditka quickly apologized for the remark. Fair
enoughI guess. Filed under Forgiven, not
forgotten.
This was not the tonic I sought in the aftermath of
another D.C. team being consumed by The Darkness
the evil sports curse enveloping the District. No,
that isnt melodramatic. Consider the resumes of the
Skins, Wizards, Capitals and Nats since the days of
grunge: no championships since 1992; no playoff -
nal four appearances since 1998; and a combined 4-14
record in the last 18 deciding playoff games.
The Darkness is so powerful that the Chicago Cubs -
the one-time poster franchise for curses and perpetual
heartache felt destined to be touched by game-win-
ning good fortune. What the billy goat and Bartman
once were, The Darkness now is.
How did this happen? The rst twenty years of my
life were a fans joyride: three Super Bowl wins by the
Skins, an Orioles World Series title in 1983, an al-
ways good if not great Capitals team and even a faint
memory of the Bullets 1978 Championship.
But since the Skins 1992 championship, since be-
coming an adult, sports have brought me, in the immor-
tal words of a growling Clubber Lang, paaaaaaaaain.
Like a spouse in a dysfunctional marriage, I watch
knowing something bad will happen, but I cant look
away out of some unhealthy duty.
I should have been prepared for this; the self-loath-
ing is unjustied and a bit pathetic. How many times
did my parents tell me childhood and adolescence en-
compass the best years of your life? That a rising per-
sonal odometer coincides with more aches and pains,
responsibility and worryand less resilience to deal
with it all. That with each year a layer of your youth-
onion is peeled away, leaving you a little less carefree
and little more cynical. That time exposes you to the
truth about our awed (maybe fatally) species and the
worlds very serious ills.
In this way, we live in reverse. Life starts and, for
the fortunate, ends in diapers, but much of the good-
ness at least the sustained, unbounded joy - is front-
loaded. I knew this already; it was unnecessary for my
sports teams to so perfectly embody it. But since Im
self-soothing with sports-life parallels, heres another:
both offer recurring opportunities to renew the pursuit
of happiness. In sports, its the rejuvenating and recur-
ring hope of a new season; in life, its the promise ac-
companying each new day.
I suppose Ill nd comfort in that and attempt to
overlook the depressing site thats now on my televi-
sion screen: the Cubs enjoying a locker room cham-
pagne shower at my expense.
A toast then, to getting older and to next season. If
you cant beat em, join em. Cheers.

American Legion Kicks
off Bluegrass Series
The award winning male vocalist and
traditionalist, Junior Sisk and Ramblers
Choice will kick off the concert series
Sunday November 5, 2017 at the Ameri-
can Legion Post 238 in Hughesville, MD.
The show starts at 2:00 pm with the Just
Us Band. The series is presented by Jay
Armsworthy and the Sons of the Ameri-
can Legion.
Since his solo career has taken off,
Junior Sisk has released one successful
recording after another. The newest re-
cording, The Mountains Are Calling Me
Home, has delivered a textbook example
of todays traditional bluegrass. And the
multi-award winning group never lets up.
This is traditional bluegrass the way it
should be played.
Junior Sisk & Ramblers Choice is wide-
ly recognized as one of todays premier
traditional bluegrass bands. Sisks blue-
grass pedigree runs deep - hailing from
the Virginia Blue Ridge; he first made his
mark as a songwriter in the early 1990s.
Several years later, as a member of Wy-
att Rice & Santa Cruz and then the band,
Blueridge, he helped define the sound of
driving, modern traditional bluegrass
music. Sisk founded his band, Ramblers
Choice in 1998, releasing Sounds of the
Mountains on Rounder Records. After
a brief hiatus, he reformed the group and
began a successful career with Rebel Re-
cords. He now records for Mountain Fever
Records.
His 2011 album, Heart of a Song
helped bring the band into the spotlight
and reminded bluegrass fans of the power
of tradition. The albums single A Far Cry
from Lester and Earl became a rallying
cry for a resurgence of traditional sounds
in bluegrass and received the 2012 Song of
the Year award from the IBMA. The band
was further honored when Heart of a
Song received IBMA Album of the Year.
Sisk was honored with the 2013 Male Vo-
calist of the Year award from the IBMA,
and the group was named 2014 SPBGMA
Bluegrass Band of the Year. Longneck
Blues, collaboration with noted singer-
songwriter Ronnie Bowman, was named
2016 Recorded Event of the Year by the
