Prince Frederick Public Project Moving Forward
County Office Location Approved
By Dick Myers
Editor
The long-talked-about new county office build-
ing has a home barely. On a 3-2 vote, the Calvert
County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC)
decided that the site of the Prince Frederick Ar-
mory would be the best location of the new office
building. The price tag for the facility is estimated
at more than $50 million.
The decision was required because there is
funding in the current budget for design of the
building which will include a parking garage. The
existing armory, built in 1955, will be demolished.
The office building will be an integral part of the
Armory Square project which will use the former
middle school property.
Commissioners Pat Nutter and Steve Weems
voted against the location. Nutter said, I am not
100 percent sold on that location. Weems did not
comment after his negative vote.
Moving county government out of the court-
house has been the goal of Chief Judge Marjorie
Clagett, who was in attendance during the dis-
cussion at the Oct. 31 BOCC meeting. She says
the courts need the space currently occupied by
county government
In a memo to the BOCC, Director of General
Services V. Wilson Freeland said, This office
space is planned to accommodate the needs of
county departments, provide multiple services in
a single building, eliminate leased space and make
additional office space available for the Circuit
Court in the Circuit Courthouse.
The decision on the county office building came
after a public hearing on the acquiring of several
parcels of land on Fairgrounds Road for a new
county recreation center to be named after civil
rights hero Harriett Elizabeth Brown. The cost of
SMECO Customers Report Scam Calls
Southern Maryland Electric Cooperative (SME-
CO) was recently contacted by about 20 customer-
members who received phone calls from scam-
mers targeting businesses in the area. Scammers
may identify themselves as SMECO employees
and demand prepaid debit cards in order to avoid
having electric service cut off.
According to Tom Dennison, managing direc-
tor of government and public affairs at SMECO,
Scammers like to target businesses because they
cannot allow their power to be turned off during
business hours. Businesses have higher bills and
usually have more than one person authorized to
pay bills. Scammers exploit the lack of communi-
cation between employees and threaten to discon-
nect power within the hour.
To cause further confusion, scammers can make
the name of the utility appear on a customers call-
er ID, and they have improved their ability to trick
people by duplicating voice recordings and imitat-
ing utility phone systems.
Dennison said, If customers receive a phone
call from someone threatening to disconnect their
power, they may hang up. If they want to verify
account information, they can call SMECO di-
rectly. Our contact center is open 24 hours a day,
The Calvert County Times
the purchases would be $1.8 million. A decision on
that was delayed ten days to leave the record open
for comment.
At the public hearing Margaret Dunkle, chair
of the Harriet Elizabeth Brown Commemorative
Task Force, praised the commissioners for their
support of the efforts to honor Brown, who was
responsible for getting equal pay for African-
American teachers I take my hat off to you for
your long-tine support, Dunkle said, singling out
Nutter who was a task force member.
Dunkle pointed out the need for a facility that
is at least 60,000 square feet. Commissioner Vice
President Evan Slaughenhoupt, Jr. urged a build-
ing large enough to accommodate high school
graduations.
Slaughenhoupt said the recreation center was
very critical to the overall vision of Prince
Frederick. He added, I can envision downtown chase the animal shelter building now under con-
Prince Frederick being a great place for events,
noting there are no traffic lights between the pro-
posed office building and the courthouse.
The vacant armory is going to be put to use be-
fore it is torn down for the office building. The
commissioners approved use of the building by
the Prince Frederick Volunteer Fire Department
while their new facility is being constructed.
The building will be used mainly for storage and
the fire department will use temporary build-
ings on the armory property for their day-to-day
functioning.
All of those discussions were followed later in
the day with the first look at a $64 million capi-
tal budget for the next fiscal year. The budget in-
cludes five projects that were not included in last
years six-year capital plan. One of them is the
county office building.
Another new project is planning for a new
$6.3 million clubhouse at Chesapeake Hills Golf
every day. SMECOs phone number is 1-888-440-
3311, and its printed on every customer bill. The
following describes SMECOs routine for collect-
ing payments from customers.
SMECO will mail a termination notice if a bill
is past due.
SMECO calls customers who owe a past due
balance using an automated phone system with a
recorded message; rarely will SMECO employees
make personal collection phone calls.
Collection calls are made about 10 days before
service is to be terminated. SMECO does not re-
quire payment at the time of the call.
Unknown callers who give short deadlines and
threaten to cut off service within an hour or two
are probably running a scam.
SMECO does not make collection calls or termi-
nate service on weekends or holidays.
If service is going to be terminated, a SMECO
collector will knock on the customers door before
turning off service.
SMECO collectors will accept credit card pay-
ments, checks, or money orders, but they do not
accept cash.
SMECO issues alerts when customers notify
us that these scams are taking place. We want

Course in Lusby. The commissioners earlier in the
day received a briefing on the project which would
replace the existing one with a new clubhouse
(including a banquet facility) with a similar foot-
print. The budget proposal has $495,000 to design
the facility.
Nutter wasnt so sure. He liked the idea, but
added, When do we get to a point, and then enu-
merated all of the capital projects on the BOCCs
plate.
Other new projects in the draft capital budget
are: Enhanced Nutrient Removal at the Solomons
Wastewater Treatment Plant ($2.5 million in FY
2019; $$7.8 million total); Phase Two Renovations
at Calvert Marie Museum ($1 million next year);
and Ward Farm Recreation and Nature Park ($4
million next year; $8 million total).
Also in the capital budget is $6 million to pur-
struction. The county has the option of leasing the
facility.
Commissioner Steve Weems also wanted dis-
cussion of a new Solomons firehouse in the bud-
get. That discussion will be included in an upcom-
ing workshop that also with have the St. Leonard
firehouse on the agenda.
The commissioners will meet with the legisla-
tive delegation on Dec. 12 to discuss an as-yet-to-
be-determined increase in the countys bonding
authority.
The capital budget will be included as part of the
overall staff recommended budget at a March 6,
2018 public hearing. In the meantime, the BOCC
is expected to massage the budget and make
changes.
dickmyers@countytimes.net
to prevent these crooks from stealing thousands
of dollars from unsuspecting residents and busi-
nesses, said Dennison. We dont want people to
be tricked out of their hard-earned money so we
educate our customers on how they can protect
themselves.
For customers who believe they have received a
fraudulent email or phone call, some basic guide-
lines follow.
Customers should use the phone number printed
on their monthly bill and only give payment infor-
mation over the phone if they initiate the contact.
Customers should not provide personal informa-
tion, banking information, user names, passwords,
or account information to unauthorized callers or
in an email.
Customers should not provide Green Dot, West-
ern Union, or Moneygram payments to unauthor-
ized callers.
Customers should never meet unauthorized call-
ers at a local store or bank to make a payment
their personal safety could be at risk.

States Water Quality Second Best on Record
Dissolved oxygen conditions in Marylands Chesa-
peake Bay mainstem were much better than average
this summer, according to Maryland Department of
Natural Resources.
The results show that 2017 had the second-small-
est Chesapeake Bay hypoxic volume (dissolved oxygen
concentrations below two milligrams per liter) since
1985, for the regions and times where water quality
monitoring data could be collected. This summer had
an average of 13.6 percent of sampled waters with hy-
poxia. The best year on record was 2012 with 13.3 per-
cent. The average for 1985-2017 is 18.9 percent.
For September 2017, the Chesapeake Bay hypox-
ic water volume was 0.06 cubic miles, which is much
smaller than the September 1985-2016 average of 0.35
cubic miles.
Each summer since 1985, Maryland and Virgin-
ia have monitored the Chesapeake Bay and its trib-
utaries for an array of water quality parameters that
indicate habitat conditions for crabs, sh, oysters and
other aquatic organisms. Dissolved oxygen in the wa-
ter is one of those important habitat conditions, as most
aquatic life requires it for survival.
From twice monthly cruises in June, July and Au-
gust, and a single cruise in September, the Mary-
land Department of Natural Resources estimates the
volume of hypoxia in its portion of the Chesapeake
Bay and compares current conditions and data with
historic results. Twice monthly hypoxia reports from
June through August are available here.
Monitoring the Chesapeake Bay presented many
challenges in 2017. Wind and rough seas prevented a
complete sampling of waters during some cruises. In
The Calvert County Times
late July, weather precluded the sampling of stations on
the east and west side of the bay channel. Without those
station results, an exact calculation of hypoxic volume
was not possible. Analysis of main channel dissolved
oxygen indicated that hypoxic volume in deeper wa-
ters was average to above average for late July. In late
August, the southernmost bay station in Maryland was
not sampled. Analysis for late August was therefore
only computed on 75 percent of the volume of Mary-
lands bay, from the mouth of the Susquehanna River
to just north of the Potomac River. Results were then
compared to prior years results from that same region.
Due to the incomplete data record, an average sum-
mer hypoxic volume could not be computed that would
be comparable to previous years. Therefore, a standard-
ized measure of the average percentage of hypoxia ob-
served in waters sampled was used. Cruises from early
June, late June, early July, early August and September
were completed, and hypoxia volumes were divided by
total Maryland mainstem bay volume. Truncated late
August hypoxic volumes were calculated and divided
by the 75 percent of bay volume that was sampled.
Percentages of hypoxic water from those cruises were
then averaged. Late July data were excluded. A similar
methodology was followed for previous years calcula-
tions for comparability.
Hypoxia is driven by natural forces such as strati-
cation of water by salinity and temperature gradients
that prevents oxygen from reaching or mixing into
deeper waters, and by warmer waters, which naturally
hold less oxygen. Hypoxia is also made worse by the
addition of nutrients, such as nitrogen and phosphorus.
Nutrients fuel algal blooms that then die-off and con-

sume oxygen during decomposition.
Resource management actions and volume of water
ow can determine how much of those nutrients enter
the bay. Conditions could be more favorable, due in
part to the overall inuence of Chesapeake Bay resto-
ration efforts to reduce pollution. The U.S. Geological
Survey shows that water ow into the bay has been
average or below average since 2012, with 2011 being
the last year with above average ows due to Hurricane
Irene and Tropical Storm Lee. This six year term of
average to reduced ows also contributes to nutrient
reductions, and therefore less hypoxia. Finally, several
of the sampling efforts in 2017 occurred during windy
conditions, which may have mixed oxygen deeper into
the water column.
In the beginning of June, the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration, U.S. Geological Survey,
University of Maryland Center for Environmental Sci-
ence and University of Michigan scientists predicted a
slightly larger than average hypoxic volume for the bay
due to higher spring ows (January-May) and nitrogen
loading from the Susquehanna River.
Monitoring data collection is funded by Mary-
land, Virginia and the U.S. Environmental Protec-
tion Agencys Chesapeake Bay Program. Hypoxia
reports based on monitoring data will resume in June
2018. More information on Marylands Chesapeake
Bay water quality monitoring program and results can
be found on the Eyes on the Bay website.

Draft Land Use Plan Ready for Prime Time
Director of Planning and Zoning Mark Willis
By Dick Myers
Editor
After more than a year of work, including numerous
citizen workshops, the first draft of the updated Calvert
County Comprehensive Plan is ready for scrutiny. The
proposal is the first update since 2010 and is mandated
by state law. The finished product will serve as a template
for the countys land use planning and will act as the road
map for rezoning of the county, which comes next.
The document is called a comprehensive plan because
it deals with more than just land use. There are chapters in
the 140-page plan that deal with natural resources, hous-
ing, transportation, economic vitality, water resources,
and community facilities.
Everything in the plan, however, revolves around what
will be on the ground in the county in the future. The plan
in fact is nicknamed Calvert 2040 in recognition of what
happens now with this document will affect the county
well into the future.
The plan also recognizes the fact that while Calvert
was once one of the states fastest growing it is now one
of the slowest. Growth peaked at 67.5 percent in the 1970s
to only 19 percent in the 2000s. The current population
of 88,737 is not expected to top 100,000 until sometime
between 2030 and 2040.
Why should the Calvert County Comprehensive Plan
be of interest to everyone even if sometimes it is difficult
to plow through for citizens not familiar with planning
issues and especially planning jargon? All landowners
will be potentially affected because the end product of
the plan, the zoning that follows from it, will affect every
piece of land in the county, except for land in the incor-
porated towns of North Beach and Chesapeake Beach,
which have their own planning and zoning laws.
Even renters could be affected because what happens
on the land they live on could lead landlords to raise their
rents. As an example, if you rent a house on property the
landowner would like to develop for more housing, and
if the plan limits what he or she can do on their property
they may choose to raise your rent to make up for the lost
revenue.
But apart from what happens on each individual prop-
erty, the comprehensive plan has a general effect on ev-
eryone who has an interest in what happens around them.
Many people have chosen to live in the county because of
what it looks like. How the plan changes that could affect
their warm-and-fuzzy feelings about their home county.
Everyone who needs to get around on a daily basis,
to work or to shop or to the doctor, can also be affected
by the plan. More development could mean more traffic
congestion, leading to slower trips to wherever someone
The Calvert County Times
needs to go. The existence, or lack of, public transporta-
tion can of course affect those who dont have their own
vehicles, or cant drive, for whatever reason.
If the plan doesnt allow for close-by shopping oppor-
tunities, that could mean longer trips in-county, or even
out-of-county for whatever is needed.
Families with children will eventually have an empty
nest. Their childrens ability to find work and housing in
the county could be affected by the existence of business,
industry and entry-level housing in the county. All of
those land uses are impacted by what is in the plan.
The draft was presented to the planning commission
at its Oct. 25 special meeting. The plan elements were
presented by consultant Jacquelyn Seneschal of the firm
WSP, Long-Range Planner Jennie Plummer-Welker and
Director of Planning and Zoning Mark Willis. The com-
mission accepted the draft and set three public outreach
open houses for everyone to learn more about what is pro-
posed.Those open houses will be 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. on:
- November 13 in Solomons at Calvert Marine Museum
- November 14 in Prince Frederick at Calvert High
School
- November 16 in Dunkirk at the firehouse.
The plan is anchored by what it calls the countys twin
goals preserving the rural landscape and creating vi-
brant Town Centers and Villages. These two goals work
together and mutually sustain each other. Supporting,
encouraging, and directing growth away from the ru-
ral areas helps preserve the rural landscape and focuses
development into Town Centers and Villages. Similarly,
supporting, encouraging, and directing growth toward
the Town Centers and Villages limits development within
the rural areas and creates more activity and vibrancy
within the Town Centers and Villages.
Village is a new con-
cept. According to the
draft plan: These places
are designated as Town
Centers in the 2010 Com-
prehensive Plan but have a
lower intensity and smaller
scale with a more limited
variety of commercial and
residential development.
These locations are suitable
for additional small-scale
commercial development
and various types of single
family dwellings at a base
permitted density of one
dwelling unit per acre. Fu-
ture development is guided
by an adopted master plan.
The new villages are
Owings, Huntingtown and
St Leonard.
The 2010 plan has a one-
mile radius around town

dential development. That Oct. 25.
Thursday, November 2, 2017
has been changed in the draft to encompass a similar area
but to recognize land boundaries. Intensified residential
development is facilitated in town centers with central
water and sewer. The draft plan recognizes the possibil-
ity of public funding of that infrastructure to encourage
town center development. It also relaxes transfer of devel-
opment rights purchases to achieve higher densities.
The town centers that continue in the draft revision
are Dunkirk, Prince Frederick, Lusby and Solomons (in
addition to the separate North Beach and Chesapeake
Beach). All but Dunkirk have central water and sewer.
Sone residents there have resisted infrastructure for fear
of growth. But the plan does leave open that possibility:
Allow privately-funded community sewage treatment
facilities to serve commercial, industrial and employment
uses located outside Town Centers and Residential Areas,
consistent with economic development goals.
The draft does increase the size of the town centers
somewhat. Wills feels that could be the point which could
raise the most comment from citizens going forward. He
feels the private sewer expansion possibly wont be an is-
sue because that will be controlled.
The goals listed in the Economic Vitality section of the
plan are intended to foster the overriding twin goals:
Strengthen economic opportunity in Calvert
County
Direct business growth to town centers and villag-
es while preserving agricultural land in the Farm
and Forest Districts.
Expand Calvert Countys tourism industry
Strengthen educational opportunities in Calvert
County
Promote transportation alternatives such as car-
pools, vanpools, bicycling and walking.
Continue a county-wide transportation planning
program that is integrated with state and regional
planning programs.
The entire 140-page plan, along with the supporting
documents received by the planning commission are
available on the planning commissions Oct. 25 agenda
on the county web page.
The draft is now also being circulated for comments
from other agencies. The planning commission will take
another crack at the plan in January and then the staff
and consultant will work on crafting a second draft. The
plan will eventually go to the county commissioners and
a public hearing.

Town Donates Tackle Box
to Youth Club Fishing Report By Ken and Linda Lamb
Contributing Writers
Captain Bernie Shea on the Shea-
D-Lady (301-672-3282)has been
consistently catching speckled trout,
black sea bass, bluefish, puffers, spot
and perch in the mouth of the Patux-
ent and in Cedar Point Hollow. The
baits are bloodworms and cut bait.
Everyone has been so busy catching
rockfish in the shallows and bay, that
this great avenue of bottom fishing
has been under the radar. Capt. Ber-
nie has been running several parties
a week and filling his coolers with
great fish. We normally expect these
fish to flee to warmer climates by late

week in November and may stay for a
few more weeks; catch them while you
can.
Rockfish are caught by trollers,
jiggers and lure casters most every-
where. The rain and cool temperatures
over the weekend will sharpen the ap-
petite of these predators. We are still
looking for the first ocean-run stripers
for the fall migration. This would be a

O Say Can You See
It rst ap-
peared in this
column in June
with the nefar-
ious reasons
behind Colin
Kaeper nicks
unemploy-
ment. It reap-
peared, either specically or by gentle
reference, in the last two entries. It
isnt a deranged, sewer-dwelling clown
but rather the various forms of protest/
unity expressed during the national an-
them before NFL games.
The evolving topic returns again, here,
just a few days before Veterans Day and
a couple weeks before the holiday sea-
son a time for peace and togetherness
because it remains an intriguing and
important conuence of sports, politics
and society.
It also reappears because it remains
unresolved: over a year after Kaeper-
nicks rst actions, we are still wrestling
with the original intent of his protest
racial injustice and new tangential
issues be they organic or intentional
diversions such as whether protests are
disrespectful and if the NFL can force
players to stand (as Dallas owner Jerry
Jones threatened).
The wound continues to ooze, of
course, because the socially inept NFL
chose rst to ignore what it hoped
would wither away. It then colluded,
consciously or unconsciously, to freeze
Kaepernick, the primary instigator, out
of the league (my opinion). When that
failed and protests escalated to team
demonstrations, owners begrudgingly,
and in some cases disingenuously, par-
ticipated in pre-game expressions of
unity. And when that didnt prompt
everyone to stand and ignore the gap
between our Declaration, our Constitu-
tion and what many American minori-
ties experience on a daily basis, a select
group of NFL owners and players met to
discuss the issue.
Thats rightroughly 14 months after
Kaepernick rst sat during the anthem
last season, the NFL decided it was time
to unclench its st and listen to its play-
ers concerns. And they didnt even
do that well: the unconscionable com-
ments by Texans owner Bob McNair
(inmates) and Washington owner Dan
Snyder (96% are opposed to protests)
indicate a mindset and an insulated per-
spective that perpetuates the societal
aws that originally inspired Kaeper-
nicks protest.
Sports 19
For those annoyed by what they per-
ceive as un-patriotic or disrespectful
protests, I wonder how many have ar-
gued against encroachments on the Sec-
ond Amendment while indirectly sup-
porting convenient limits on the First
and Fourth. I wonder how many have
embarrassingly chanted O! at Orioles
games or take no issue with Kansas City
fans yelling Chiefs in place of brave
as the anthem has played.
For those angered by the players
actions, I wonder how many have re-
searched the thoughts of players like
Kaepernick to gain an understanding of
the experiences that caused them to take
a knee. I wonder how many are white,
exist in world where theyre almost al-
ways part of the majority and if theyve
contemplated life as a minority be it
at work, when applying for a loan, dur-
ing a trafc stop or just sitting down in
a restaurant for a meal. I wonder how
many have considered their own short-
comings, even if they are limited to un-
intended biases.
Dont we owe our fellow Americans
at least that? In short, shouldnt we be
searching for ways to solve the problems
that caused NFL players to kneel rather
than ordering them to rise or shaming
them through some mischaracteriza-
tion of their protest into standing?
Senator Margaret Chase Smith deliv-
ered her Declaration of Conscience
speech on the Senate oor in 1950. In
it she speaks of poor leadership, rails
against critical elected ofcials too
thin-skinned to take criticism in-kind
and govern, laments our country be-
ing psychologically divided by confu-
sion and suspicion and reminds her
colleagues of these basic principles of
Americanism: the right to criticize, the
right to hold unpopular beliefs, the right
to protest and the right of independent
thought.
Smiths speech is a brilliant summa-
tion of our American identity, rights and
the responsibility we have to exercise
those rights to ensure the equal exten-
sion in practice, not just words - of
Constitutional liberties. Despite its age,
it offers sage advice on how to navigate
NFL anthem protests and these most
divisive times. And because of its age,
it stands witness to Colonial Williams-
burgs iconic slogan: That the future
may learn from the past.
May we be receptive to the timeless
wisdom

CSM Main Stage to
Present Ragtime
Ragtime is a musical that tells a par-
ticularly American story a story that
should resonate with a contemporary au-
dience, says College of Southern Mary-
land (CSM) Associate Professor Keith
Hight of King George, Virginia.
Hight is the director of the upcoming
CSM Main Stage production of Rag-
time, which is based on the novel by
E.L. Doctorow, with music by Stephen
Flaherty and lyrics by Lynn Ahrens. The
musical interweaves three storylines set
in the early 1900s in the melting pot of
New York City the stifled upper-class
wife, a determined Jewish immigrant and
a daring young Harlem musician. The
musical shows how each of these char-
acters choose to confront the contradic-
tions of wealth and poverty, freedom and
prejudice, hope and despair ... and what it
means to live in America.
I have always loved this show, Hight
said, adding that many CSM alumni have
come back to work on this production.
The cast has really come together to
make this happen. We have talked about
history a lot because some of these people
were real, the situations were real.
The cast list for CSMs production of
Ragtime includes Rick Fulton of Bryans
Road as Grandfather, Elizabeth Campbell
of Bryantown as Little Girl, Matt Jameson
of Charlotte Hall as Tateh, Sean Scriber of
Hollywood as Coalhouse Walker Jr., Me-
lissa Tevis of Indian Head as Mother, Ken
LaClair of La Plata as Father, Lisa LaClair
of La Plata as Harry Houdinis mother,
Andrew Roell of Leonardtown as Little
Boy (Edgar), Alyshia Bradley of Lusby as
Sarahs Friend, Justin Carty of Richmond,
Virginia as Willie Conklin, Chris Lange
of Port Republic as Younger Brother, Ken-
neth L. Waters Jr. of Waldorf as Booker T.

lyn Nesbit, Thomas Donohue of Welcome
