Calvert County Observes Veterans Day
By Dick Myers
Editor
To care for him who shall have borne
the battle. Those were the words of Presi-
dent Abraham Lincoln. They were the
theme, and the Lincoln Memorial the
visual image, for this years national cel-
ebration of Veterans Day. Calvert County
marked the occasion with two outdoor
events at the Prince Frederick court-
house Veterans Green and at the Veterans
Memorial Park in Chesapeake Beach.
The courthouse ceremony every year
is hosted by the American Legion De-
partment of Maryland Calvert County
Council, which is comprised of four posts.
American Legion Calvert County Com-
mander Jay Bolles acted as Master of Cer-
emonies for the event.
Representatives of the countys high
schools Naval Junior Reserve Ofcer
Training Corps, along with the Civil Air
Patrol, gave speeches on what Veterans
Day meant to them.
Calvert High School Lt. Cmdr. William
Wood took a page from current evets by
describing veterans as those who have
honorably served, and thus having re-
ceived an honorable discharge. He said the
alleged shooter in the Texas church mas-
sacre should not have been called a vet-
American Legion Southern Maryland District Commander John Countryman, Jr. was the Veterans Green
guest speaker.
Wreaths were laid on the monuments at Chesapeake Beach Veterans Park during the Nov, 11 ceremony.

eran because he received a dishonorable
discharge from the U.S. Air Force.
Guest speaker American Legion
Southern Maryland District Commander
John Countryman, Jr. also pulled from
the headlines by describing veterans as
a group of proud citizens of the United
States who still stand and salute the ag.
Countryman said when people ask him
what rank he retired from, he answers,
I retired as a man. He said he says that
because he learned numerous life lessons
while in the service and from his fellow
servicemen.
The courthouse ceremony included the
laying of wreaths at the monuments on the
green to the various wars. A gun salute
followed from members of the rie squads
of the countys American Legion posts.
That was followed by a mournful playing
of Taps.
The Chesapeake Beach ceremony was
hosted by Post 206. Post Commander Les
Grifth was MC for the event that also in-
cluded a wreath laying at the memorials
in the park.
Post representatives also read Untold
Stories of the service of post members.
A reception followed the ceremony in
the post home.

New Restaurant Coming to North Beach

By Dick Myers
Editor
It will be called Hook & Vine Kitchen
and Bar. North Beachs newest restau-
rant is slated to open in January and will
be seeking a liquor license next month
from the Calvert County Board of License
Commissioners (liquor board).
The new establishment will be in a
building formerly occupied by a restaurant
called Billville. Town Zoning Adminis-
trator Rick Crump told the town council
at its Nov. 9 meeting that the building at
41147 7th Street is now being renovated.
The new restaurant is just a few doors
away from one of the towns largest res-
taurants, Plaza Mexico, which is always
busy. The only other sit-down restaurants
in town are Westlawn Inn, Neptunes Sea-
food Pub and Sweet Sues Bake Shop and
Coffee. There are several ice cream shops
near the boardwalk.
The Hook and Vine Kitchen and Bar is
building its website (https://hookandvine.
com/) and Facebook page. According to
the website it will feature fresh seafood,
bacon and wine. Its proposed hours of
operation are not listed yet on the website.
The restaurants owner Maria Daley did
not return The County Times call seeking

Judging from the attendance at
the first of three open houses on the

citizens are interested in what is go-

through the conference room at Cal-

Monday, Nov. 13 after first viewing a
slide show on the draft plan, the pro-
cess leading up to it and what hap-
pens next.

ing Jenny Plummer-Welker, the lead

Len Zuza, a former candidate

was confused about what the Lusby

the countys purchase of the Patuxent

Bill Requests Include $75-Million Bond Authority

By Dick Myers
Editor
The Calvert County Board of County Commission-
ers (BOCC) will be submitting 20 bill proposals to the
county legislative delegation when they meet on Dec. 12.
Among the requests is authority to issue $75 million in
bonds in the next fiscal year for 10 capital projects.
The request for the bonding authority was the only re-
quest that did not receive unanimous approval from the
five BOCC members. Commissioner Pat Nutter voted
against it because he was concerned about one of the proj-
ects the new Calvert County Administrative Building at
the site of the Prince Frederick Armory.
Nutter said he was opposed to doing the county build-
ing now because of there being so many other pressing
needs in the county. What I am concerned about here is
overspending, he opined.
Before taking the vote, the BOCC did pull four proj-
ects from next years list, effectively delaying them a
year. That action reduced the bond authority request from
$92.7 million, or $17.5 million less than originally pro-
posed by staff.
The four projects delayed are the St. Leonard Town
Square Community Center, Chesapeake Hills Golf
Course clubhouse, Twin Beaches Branch Library and
Dunkirk District Park Tennis Court. The library was
delayed because they were told the project wouldnt be
ready in time for construction next year.
Commissioner Pat Nutter
Commissioner Mike Hart said he supported the golf
course clubhouse. I just need more time to look at it. I
have reservations on the design, he said, adding he want-
ed to make sure it was a money maker for the county.
Commissioner Steve Weems initially balked at the
project list because it didnt include the Solomons Volun-
teer Fire Department and Rescue Squad. They are seek-
ing a fire substation in Lusby and a new rescue squad
building.
Weems was told by County Administrator Terry Shan-
non that the issue would be the subject of an upcoming
meeting. St. Leonard VFD is also vying for monies for
a new building. Weems was assured that the Solomons
projects could proceed next for design using county
funds, and not bond monies. That would come in later
years with construction.
The projects that survived in addition to the county
office building were the North Beach fire boat, Calvert
Marine Museum renovation/expansion, Ward Park Mas-
ter Plan, Watson property, Northern Middle School, Back
Creek Loop Water Main, Prince Frederick Pump Station,
and Prince Frederick and Solomons wastewater treatment
plants.
The BOCC also approved sending to the legislators the
proposals for salary increases for future commissioner
boards, the sheriff and treasurer. Several of BOCC mem-
bers voted against aspects of the proposal from a salary
review board. But in the end all five commissioners voted
to present the plan to the legislators.
The legislative hearing will be Dec. 12 at 7 p.m. at Cal-
vert Pines Senior Center.

Mattie Michele Scicchitano, for-

Sands Civic Association, pleaded
guilty this week in Calvert County
Circuit Court to embezzling about
$175,000 over a 10 year period from

Scicchitano came under the scru-

numerous discrepancies in finances
which Scicchitano could not account
for.
During Hilpipres own investiga-
tion, Scicchitano admitted to him
that she had been embezzling funds
from the homeowners group for
years; Hilpipre relayed that admis-
sion to police.
During this time it was discov-
ered that Scicchitano had forged
numerous documents and checks
by endorsing her name and deposit-
ing checks in her personal account,
charging documents against her read.

Highway Administration, held a business
procurement showcase Oct. 13 at the Busi-
ness Service Center in Bowie. The show-
case gave a group of local contracting
firms the chance to present their services
to potential private and public clients.
Many small businesses tend not to go
to general networking events and trade
shows because they feel its a waste of
their time. They meet agency representa-
tives that only market the agency, said
Ann Frank, SBDC Outreach Coordina-
tor for the State Highway Administration
(SHA) Business Development Accelera-
tor Program (BDAP). The event gave 29
BDAP clients access to representatives
from private prime contracting companies
as well as government entities. Participat-
ing clients were showcased one-by-one as
they shared their business services, an-
swered audience questions and networked
with participating organizations for cur-
rent and future opportunities.

Margaret Dunkle
From National Policy Issues to Local Volunteer
Margaret Dunkle (second from left) at the unveiling of the portrait
(and copes) of Harriet Elizabeth Brown in a Price Frederick court-
house ceremony. The center original now hangs in the courthouse
lobby.
Margaret Dunkle in 1980 with Senator Edward Kennedy, celebrating
passage of the Science and Technology Equal Opportunity Act.
Margaret Dunkle was inducted into the Maryland
Womens Hall of Fame in 2012. At the time she won-
dered how many other Calvert County women had been
so honored. Upon checking she found just one other
name Harriet Elizabeth Brown.
Dunkle was born in Garrett County, but her family
moved to Calvert when she was six when her father, a
high school principal, was selected to be Calvert Coun-
ty Superintendent of Schools. I grew up in inner city
Prince Frederick, she said in a recent interview. The
county that her family moved to was very rural with
about 10,000 people, mostly farmers and watermen.
Being around the school system she remembered
Brown being an educator, but not much else.
Research has been a key part of Dunkles professional
life. She has been directly involved in several significant
public policy issues. She has testified before Congress
nine tines and authored more than 100 publications on
subjects ranging from early identification and interven-
tion of children with disabilities and developmental de-
lays, to vaccine safety, accountability for results, cross-
The Calvert County Times
sector reforms, linking policy to research, collaboration,
intergovernmental partnerships, equal opportunity and
civil rights, Title IX, federal budget policy, education
and health according to a press release from the Col-
lege of Southern Maryland.
What Dunkle found in her research on Brown was
that there were really two Brown vs. Board of Educa-
tion cases and Calvert Countys was the first, in 1937.
Brown, then a teacher along with her sister, filed suit
against the Calvert County Board of Education for equal
pay for African-American teachers. The board caved in
and she won. Lawyer for that suit a young Thurgood
Marshal of the NAACP.
Dunkle recognized that Calvert County truly had
a story to tell about its native daughter Harriet Eliza-
beth Brown. At the suggestion of then delegate Tony
ODonnell, a task force was formed to commemorate
Brown, with Dunkle as its president.
The task force identified three ways to commemorate
Brown, all having been accomplished: a portrait of her
in the courthouse, a recreation center named after her,
and a highway dedicated to her.
The Dunkles moved from Garrett County, which had
hardly any African-Americans, to a county that was 50
percent black. The second Brown vs. Board of Educa-
tion, mandating school integration by the U.S. Supreme
Court, became the law of the land about the time Mau-
rice Dunkle became superintendent. He told the school
board they needed to follow the Supreme Court and
worked tirelessly for it alongside school board member
Bernie Fowler, later on become county commissioner,
state senator and river wader.
Dunkle said her father persisted because it was
the right thing to do. It was a slow process, she said.
Schools were integrated when she was in high school.
She calls those black students brave for having the
courage of moving from the safe but unequal environ-
ment of their own schools.
Of her father, she said, He really helped bring Cal-
vert County into a new era. Recently she noted that she
hoped her father, who passed away in 2001, was looking
down on her and proud of her work in commemorating
Brown. It was in my DNA, she said.
Dunkle moved away from Calvert County after grad-
uating from Calvert High School and only returned to
live in Port Republic after retiring from a position as
Lead Research Scientist at George Washington Univer-
sitys Department of Health Policy.
Dunkle credits the writing skills that helped her suc-
ceed as a researcher to the three years of Latin she took
in Calvert County Public Shools with teacher Peggy
King. She was the best teacher I ever had.
Dunkle first went to Hood College in Frederick, MD
and then transferred to Syracuse University where she
got her degree in Psychology.
Out of college Dunkle hooked up with a think tank
that took her to Boston and Los Angeles. The program
she was working on ended and she was hired by the As-
sociation of American Colleges Project on the Status
and Education of Women. They were just beginning a
groundbreaking study on discrimination of women by
colleges and universities.
Her 1974 report documenting discrimination against
female athletes became the blueprint for the Title IX
regulations on athletics. James A. Michener, in Sports
in America, called her analysis a model of restraint,

persuasion and good sense. But it also has a sharp bite.
Her report documented some of what the colleges
were doing then that would cause heads to shake today.
For instance: One college spent more than $2,600,000
on mens sports but nothing on womens. Another fully
covered travel for mens teams while womens teams
had to hold bake sales and sell Christmas trees.
According to her biography: In 1975, Dunkle became
the first Chair of the National Coalition for Women and
Girls in Education, which led the successful fight for
strong Title IX rules and continues today.
In the 1980s, she documented pervasive pregnancy
discrimination in college health insurance policies and
widespread discrimination by schools against pregnant
and parenting students.
As Director of the AAUW Educational Founda-
tion, she commissioned the landmark 1992 study, The
AAUW Report: How Schools Shortchange Girls.
Dunkle conceived 1986 legislation that enabled
low-income women to attend college and receive finan-
cial aid without losing their (or their childrens) health
insurance.
While President of the Federation of Organizations
for Professional Women, she worked with Senator Ed-
ward Kennedy on the 1980 Science and Technology
Equal Opportunities Act, which increased opportunities
for women and minorities.
Dunkle has a family member who is vaccine-injured,
sustaining brain injury and subsequent developmental
disabilities. Women most often care for a child with a
disability or delay. With this background, Dunkle led
successful 2007 efforts to require accurate developmen-
tal screening for Head Start children and partnered
with federal policymakers to ensure insurance reim-
bursement for developmental screening.
Her papers are archived at the Schlesinger Library
atHarvard University.
With such a resume, in her retirement she has had no
problem keeping busy immersing herself in the fabric
of Calvert County. She first attended a Commission on
Women meeting to see what they were doing, only to
learn that their chairperson had just passed away. She
was appointed chair.
She also has been active with the Calvert County
League of Women Voters, serving as a vice president.
And, in 2016 Dunkle was appointed to the Board of
Trustees of the College of Southern Maryland. And the
college this week announced that she had been appoint-
ed to serve on the Association of Community College
Trustees (ACCT) Public Policy and Advocacy Commit-
tee for 2018.
The National Womens History Project has recent-
ly announced its honorees for 2018, with the theme
Nevertheless She Persisted: Honoring Women Who
Fight All Forms of Discrimination Against Women:
Dunkle was one of the recipients. She was cited for
her work on Title IX. The awards ceremony will be
in Washington on Saturday, March 24, 2018, during
Womens History Month.
Dunkles license plate proudly proclaims Title IX.
When asked if that was her crowning glory, she paused
and then said she is proud of a lot that she has accom-
plished in her life. With that body of work, she indeed
has a lot of which to be proud.

The More
Consequential Farewell

The reaction to the last View from the Bleachers
an editorial on Colin Kaepernick, social injustice and
anthem demonstrations was the most significant in
the columns nearly 10-year history. It was also the
most divided: every supportive comment was counter-
balanced by one expressing staunch disagreement. All
were welcomed and appreciated.
Setting differences aside, this overarching theme
was clear: our democracy, freedom of expression and
what it means to be patriotic are all deeply meaningful
and unsettled matters. This is why I wrote O Say Can
You See; this is why many readers were compelled to
react.
Considering the different political structures around
the globe, this wonderful ability to fuss and argue and
shape our ever-evolving democracy should never be
lost in the discord, no matter the intensity. The right
to thoughtful expression and the responsibility to lis-
ten earnestly to and respect those opposed and work
toward a palatable, majority-based resolution - should
never be overlooked. Those freedoms and that collec-
tive responsibility define us as Americans far more
than the side weve adopted on the issue du jour.
With that, I will scratch a personal itch with this
View. Bear with me.
This weekend will mark the presumed end of a con-
sequential NASCAR drivers career. It would be un-
derstandable if that lede was interpreted as a prelude
to a farewell to Dale Earnhardt Jr., retiring legend of
the asphalt and left turns. But it is not. This is about
another NASCAR driver whose time behind the wheel
could be ending: Danica Patrick.
Within the sport, Patricks career doesnt compare
to Earnhardts. The latter has been the most popular
driver for the last decade-plus and is a constant link to
his iconic father; meanwhile, the former hasnt won a
race in an eight-year career.
But outside the sport, it is Patricks career, not Earn-
hardts, thats been more consequential.
One of the hats I wear, and the one donned with the
greatest responsibility, is that of a father. More spe-
cifically, I have a daughter. Shes old enough now to
be keenly aware of gender and the limitations social
stereotypes attempt to place on herjust because shes
a girl.
I hate it. I know this awareness was an inevitable
and unfortunate part of growing up. I also know I have
the ability, thru open dialogue, to disarm foolish, sexist
stereotypes, thereby ensuring she has the strength and
confidence to transcend any artificial ceilings. But I
still hate it - to my core. Because I know sexism ex-
ist. Because I know she will encounter men who dont
see her as an equal and consider her incapable or an
object for their manipulation (see the alarming #MeToo
movement if you harbor doubts).
Call it the curse of boobs. Or is it the psychological
corruption of testicles and testosterone? PCT2, if you
will. Yes, I like that better.
Despite my best efforts, Im aware that my gray-
bearded male pontifications against gender-based limi-
tations likely do not provide her adequate reassurance.
But in Patrick, I have an undeniable example of a wom-
an eviscerating such a stereotype. Patrick stormed her
way to the heights of both IndyCar and stock car rac-
ing nearly entirely male sports. She carried herself
with confidence, never flinched, freely expressed her
opinion and competed with an edge that is common
in the still rough-around-the-edges sport of NASCAR.
Basically, Patrick acted like she belonged and she
did. That she did all this in the troll-friendly social
media age is a tremendous credit to her strength and
professionalism.
Of course as time passes, it will still be Earnhardt,
not Patrick, who will be the more frequent subject
of reminiscent fans. Which is too bad. Thats not a
knock on Dale Jr. Hes been nothing but a class act
throughout his career and a consistent supporter of
Patrick. But Patricks career, not Earnhardts, carries
more social significance. A man unjustly overshadow-
ing a female contemporary: label me disappointed but
unsurprised. But then again, maybe Patrick will find
another NASCAR team and continue adding to her re-
markable accomplishments. Im one dad of one young
lady who isnt ready for her empowering story to end.

22,000 Deer Harvested

During Early Season
Photo for DNR by Duane Tucker
The Maryland Department of Natu-
ral Resources announced today that
hunters harvested more deer during
the early hunting season compared
with last year.
Maryland hunters wrapped up the
early portion of the archery and muz-
zleloader seasons by harvesting an es-
timated 22,199 deer in September and
crossbows) and 9,362 harvested dur-
ing the October muzzleloader season.
An additional 254 deer were reported
during managed hunts. Hunters har-
vested 571 antlered and 563 antlerless
sika deer as part of the total.
The archery harvest increased 2 per-
cent while the muzzleloader harvest
increased 30 percent, most likely due
to more favorable weather conditions
and increased effort when compared
to last year. Overall, the antlered har-
vest increased 23 percent from 6,374
to 7,821 deer and the antlerless harvest
increased 6 percent from 13,549 to
14,378.
In Calvert County 473 deer were
early-season harvested compared to
495 last year.
In St. Marys County 773 deer were
early-season harvested compared to
668 last year.
Turkey hunters reported taking 105
wild birds during the one week fall

October, an 11 percent increase from
last years official harvest of 19,923.
The two-month harvest included
12,583 deer taken during the archery
season (including 6,585 taken with
vertical bows and 5,998 taken with
somdbmx.com
season that ended Nov. 4. The harvest
For Full Schedule Go To Races on Tuesdays & Thursdays
was slightly lower than last year. Har-
vest numbers for each of three par-
