Last-Minute Filings Fill 2018 Ballot
Hutchins Files, Weems to Seek Re-Election
District 2 County Commissioner Candidate
Republican Tim Hutchins.
By Dick Myers
Editor
Three of the sitting members of the Cal- and Democratic Clerk of the Circuit Court
vert County Board of County Commis-
sioners have filed for re-election – Mike
Hart, Tom Hejl and Steve Weems.
Commissioner Pat Nutter told the board
at its Feb. 27 meeting that he had asked
himself if he was willing to give the job
24/7 attention as he had promised when he
first ran eight years ago. He said when he
was unable to answer that question he de-
cided it was time to step aside.
Commissioner President Evan Slaugh-
enhoupt, Jr. had earlier said he was a be-
liever in term limits, so he had to apply that
to himself as well.
One late filer is well-known in the county.
Tim Hutchins of Prince Frederick filed as
a candidate for the 2nd Commissioner Dis-
trict, the seat now held by Nutter. Hutchins,27-C seat. He has no challenger in the Re-
a Republican, is a former Charles County
delegate and superintendent of the Mary-
land State Police. Hutchins is a native of
Calvert County. He is married and has a
daughter, two sons and two grand-
daughters. He resides on the farm
of his youth in Buena Vista.
Others in the crowded 2nd Dis-
trict race are Republicans Mark
Arness (a former congressional
candidate) David Gatton, Bruce
Henkleman, and Lori Barbee. The
only Democratic candidate is Susie
Hance-Wells, a member of the Cal-
vert County Board of Appeals.
Hart is facing a Republican chal-
lenger in his 1st Commissioner Dis-
trict, Emad Dides. Democrats in
that race are Theodore Haynie and
Tricia Powell.
In the 3rd Commissioner District
vacated by Slaughenhoupt, school
board member Kelly McConkie is
the only Republician candidate and Jack Bailey filing his candidacy as a Republican
Holly Budd is the sole Democrat. challenger to n. Steve Waugh
The Calvert County Times
In the crowded At-Large race that will
yield two commissioners, Republicans
Hejl and Weems are joined in the primary
by former Maryland Secretary of Agri-
culture Earl “Buddy” Hance and Patrick
Flaherty. There are also four Democrats
in the race: Matt Bennett, Greg Brown Joe
Johnson and 19-year-old Duwane Rager.
Sheriff Mike Evans has two primary
Republican challengers, Sgt. Craig Contra
and Kinisey Weems, a Prince George’s
County detective. Democrat Michael
Hawkins has no Democratic primary
challengers.
Register f Wills Margaret Phipps, who
has been elected 10 times, has no primary
opponent. Republican Mark Lynch will
face her in the general election.
Two Republicans are vying for State’s
Attorney in the primary – Kathryn Marsh
and Andrew Rappaport. Current State’s
Attorney Laura Martin is not seeking re-
election. Marsh is deputy state’s attorney
and Rappaport is senior assistant state’s
attorney.
Republican Treasurer Nova Tracy-Soper
Kathy Smith are unopposed.
In the statehouse races, District 29
(Calvert-St. Mary’s) Senator Steve Waugh
picked up two last-minute Republican pri-
mary challengers, both from S. Mary’s: re-

Sergeant Jack Bailey of Mechanicsville
and Daniel Geary of Leonardtown. Bailey
says he would be more of an ally of Gov.

Planners Balk at Architectural
Review Changes
By Dick Myers
Editor
More than a year ago, the Calvert
County Board of County Commission-
ers considered eliminating the town cen-
ter architectural review committees. The
commissioners had heard complaints that
the committees were unduly slowing the
process for developers, under the belief
that “time is money.”
Sometimes the committees had dif-
ficulty gathering a quorum, thus further
delaying the process. They wanted to
speed thing up. The proposal was to have
planning staff do the reviews.
But the commissioners found that there
was considerable support for the citizen
review afforded by the committees, After
a joint hearing with the planning com-
mission, the planners voted to continue
their support for the architectural com-
mittees. The commissioners then backed
off on the idea of eliminating them.
Instead, they asked staff to draft some
changes in the ways the committees oper-
ate. The major change was to require the
committees to meet and act within five
business days of receiving an application
from the planning department.
The other proposed change removed
national chain stores from the require-
ments of being reviewed since those
chains have standard buildings and sig-
nage. Later, on advice of the county at-
torney, that idea was amended to include
all chains, even regional and local ones.
Those changes were presented by Di-
rector of Planning Mark Willis to the
planning commission at its Feb. 21 meet-
ing at their new venue, the Harriet Eliza-
beth Brown Community Center on Dares
Beach Road. The two changes didn’t sit
well with some of the planners. Planning
Director Mark Willis was asked to draw
up modifications.
Several of the planning commission
members, including Chairperson Carolyn
McHugh, thought the five-day require-
ment was too onerous.
“I do understand the interest of busi-

The Calvert County Times
ness to not have things held up,” McHugh,
retired president of the Calvert County
Chamber of Commerce, said. But she felt
the short time frame could cause logisti-
cal problems for the committee members.
Bill Heine, a member of the Owings
Architectural Review Committee, agreed
when allowed to speak by McHugh. “My
schedule doesn’t permit something like
that,” he said, explaining he commutes
to DC every day. He suggested meetings
twice a month at a more standardized
times so that committee members, and
the public, can plan their schedules.
Jerry Armstrong, a member of e
Dunkirk Architectural Review Commit-
tee, noted that meetings once a month
usually suffice and if needed a special
meeting could be called.
Willis observed that if for some reason
an architectural committee couldn’t meet
in a timely fashion, then his staff would
use the same criteria used by the commit-
tee in reviewing applications. The com-
mittees’ decisions are only advisory for
the planning commission (see separate
story about a decision of the Solomons
Architectural Review Committee.
Willis said in presenting the proposal
to the planners that he wasn’t pressured
by the commissioners to do so.
Planning Commission member John
Toohey also had concerns about remov-
ing the chains from the review process.
He said he thought it was the goal of the
town center planning to encourage small,
local businesses. He said the proposal
seemed to him to be giving the advantage
to the big guys.
“It just seems to me to be quite a bur-
den,” Toohey said of the requirements for
architectural review for the non-chain
stores.
Willis will bring back a revised plan
and give the planning commission an-
other crack at making a decision.

Planners Agree to the Pitch
for the Pitched Roof
By Dick Myers
Editor
Sometimes, the folks involved in plan-
ning and zoning issues can get bogged
down in what some would call esoteric
discussions. Such was the case at the
Feb. 21 Calvert County Planning Com-
mission meeting. By the time the lengthy
discussion about a shed was over, they
probably knew more than they wanted to
about the pitch of roofs.
The shed in question was proposed by
the Solomons Volunteer Rescue Squad
and Fire Department. Their Recording
Secretary Terry Anderson explained
that the company had outgrown its exist-
ing storage shed and needed additional
space. They are considering two sizes,
864 square feet and 1,129 square feet.
Both exceed the 250-square-foot mini-
mum required for review by the Solo-
mons Town Center Architectural Review
Committee.
For that size roof, regulations stipulate
a roof pitch of 6/12. The committee vot-
ed to require that pitch. For that type of
pitched roof, the shed would have to be
built on a foundation, at a cost of $2,500
to $4,000 more than a modular shed.
Anderson explained that the depart-
ment could be moving to another, unde-
cided location to build a larger facility.
Hejl Proposes $2 million
Extra for School Security
By Dick Myers
Editor
The community meeting on school vi-
olence Feb. 21 at the Dunkirk firehouse
has created ripple effects throughout
Calvert County. There has been con-
siderable chatter on social media. And
one county commissioner has vowed to
spend more money to make the schools
safer.
Commissioner Vice President Tom
Hejl, a retired police officer, said he was
shocked to hear a student at the meeting
say she felt unsafe in school. “No one
should ever feel unsafe being in school,”
Hejl said.
Hejl has asked for a commissioner
meeting just to discuss school security
and he is proposing to his fellow board
members that they put up $2 million to
address the problem. That proposal is
contingent on the school board matching
it with their own monies.
Hejl praised school board member
Kelly McConkey and his wife Kim for
their leadership in arranging the meet-
ing. McConkey is a Republican candi-
date for one of two at-large county com-
missioner seas, as is Hejl.
Commissioner President Evan Slaugh-
enhoupt, Jr. said he would call that meet-

ning commis-
sion for a 4/12

instead. That
was the same
pitch the made unsuccessfully to the ar-
chitectural review committee.
The planning commission eventually
went along with the volunteers’ request,
but not without dissent. The commission
voted 5-2 in support, and against the
Solomons Architectural Review recom-
mendation. Those opposing were Chair-
person Carolyn McHugh and member
Richard Holler. Both felt the committee
recommendations should be followed.

ing. He said the focus of the discussion
should be security devices, such as the
ones that help secure doors. It was re-
ported that some of the classroom doors
can’t be locked.
Slaughenhoupt noted that after the
Sandy Hook incident five years ago, an
additional $5 million was allocated for
security. He wants a report on how that
was used and what else needs to be done
and how much it will cost. He observed
that security is the school system’s
responsibility.
Commissioner Mike Hart promised,
“This is going to happen and happen
very quickly.” Hart and Hejl spoke at the
meeting. Commissioner Pat Nutter was
also in attendance.
Nutter said, “It’s very heartbreaking
that we have to sit here with such sad-
dened hearts,” referring to the Texas
shooting incident that has captured ev-
eryone’s attention.
A second community meeting will
be held March 7 at 7 p.m. at the Prince
Frederick Volunteer Fire Department.
The conversation will also be under-
scored with a March of Our Lives Event
on March 24th in DC conducted by stu-
dents from Parkland High School.

State Grant Approved for End Hunger Warehouse

End Hunger in Calvert President Jacqueline Miller explained their program to Sen. Ben Cardin
(l) during a visit last summer as Rev. Robert Hahn looked on.
By Dick Myers
Editor
The Maryland Board of Public Works
has approved a $50,000 grant to the
Board of Directors of End Hunger in
Calvert County, Inc. “This $50,000
grant will be used for the acquisition,
planning, design, construction, re-
pair, renovation, reconstruction, site
of the End Hunger in Calvert County
Warehouse in Huntingtown,” according
to a statement from Senate President
Thomas V. Mike Miller, Jr. (D: Cal-
vert) after last week’s Board of Public
Works meeting at which the grant was
approved.
“I appreciate the Board of Public
Works continued commitment to the
people of Southern Maryland,” said
the great team at End Hunger in Cal-
vert County have created a great orga-
nization focused on creating permanent
solutions that move people to self-suf-
ficiency. This funding will ensure that
the great work of End Hunger in Calvert
County will continue.”
End Hunger in Calvert County hopes
to have a new food distribution ware-
house by 2020. The non-profit organiza-
tion currently uses a leased warehouse
in Calvert Industrial Park off Route
231 for its main distribution center. The
lease for that building is up in 2020, ac-
cording to Rev. Robert Hahn, pastor of
Chesapeake Church in Sunderland and
founder and Chief Executive Officer of
End Hunger.
Rev. Hahn told the North Beach
Town Council at a recent meeting that
End Hunger has applied to the U.S, De-
partment of Agriculture for a $400,000
grant for the warehouse on property ad-
jacent to the church. The council voted
support for the grant request.
Rev. Hahn told The County Times
that the proposed warehouse would be
larger than the one they now use. Out
of the existing warehouse, 44 partners,
mostly food pantries at local churches
and other non-profits, are supplied with
food to distribute.
Local farms, organizations and busi-
nesses such as Farming 4 Hunger supply
the food to the End Hunger warehouse.
According to their website, “End
Hunger in Calvert County works with
individuals to create permanent solu-
tions that help move them from depen-
dency to self-sufficiency. We believe
that all people matter, and life change
happens through relationships. We
strive for excellence in all aspects of
our operations and organization.”
Hahn said that his program is consid-
ered to be a model for rural endeavors
to feed the hungry.
“Ninety-three cents of every dollar
goes straight to programming,” Rev.
Hahn said of the money collected by the
organization.
According to End Hunger’s website:
“Calvert County is the 19th wealthiest
county (of any size) in the United States
yet over 10,000 people utilize food pan-
try services every year. In addition, ap-
proximately 5,000 Calvert County resi-
dents live in poverty. Certainly, we can
do better for each other.”
“Calvert County is a wealthy county
unless you are not wealthy,” he told the
town council.

Money for a New Park
By Dick Myers
Editor
An agreement has been signed al-
lowing the transfer of land from Do-
minion Energy to Calvert County.
The agreement will be signed by
the Calvert County Board of County
Commissioners after a unanimous
vote at their Feb. 26 meeting. It rati-
fies an earlier plan in which Domin-
ion agreed to transfer the Office Site
Area (OSA) property to the county.
“The property is located directly
across Route 4 from Cove Point Road
and consists of approximately 100
acres,” according to a memo provid-
ed by County Administrator Terry
Shannon to the county commission-
ers at the meeting. She stated, “The
intention is to develop this parcel
along with adjoining county-owned
property of approximately 79 acres,
as a recreation and nature park. Do-
minion was using the property as a
materials lay down area and for park-
ing during the construction phase of
their project.”
The memo went on to explain: “The

Board of Public Works Approves New Wildlife Area
The Board of Public Works has
unanimously approved a Maryland
Department of Natural Resourc-
es acquisition of 522 acres in Charles
County for the development of a
new Wildlife Management Area that
will provide both conservation and
recreation benefits.
Adjacent to county managed land,
the site will provide numerous rec-
reational opportunities for Southern
Maryland residents and visitors, in-
cluding birding, hiking, hunting and
trapping. The new property will be
managed by the Wildlife and Heritage
Service.
The acquisition will permanently
protect agricultural fields and forest-
ed uplands as well as stream corridors
and ravines. The property drains into
Popes Creek and its 60-acre estuarine
marsh, much of which has been pro-
tected by the county.
Popes Creek Valley has been iden-
tified as a Natural Heritage Area.
The acquisition will further protect
the creek’s wetlands, which support
an uncommonly high diversity of
flora and fauna, and large woodlands
that provide essential habitat for for-
est interior dwelling species such as

“This acquisition is a win-win for
environmental advocates and outdoor
enthusiasts,” Maryland Natural Re-
sources Secretary Mark Belton said.
“This incredibly beautiful property,
right off the Potomac River, will pro-
tect ecologically-sensitive habitat,
wetlands and woodlands while pro-
viding an excellent location for out-
door recreational activities and op-
portunities, be it hiking or hunting.”
The property also provides impor-
tant scenic value along the Religious
Freedom National Scenic Byway and
the Booth’s Escape National Scenic
Byway.
The Program Open Space acquisi-
tion was leveraged with funds from
the U.S. Navy Readiness and Envi-
ronmental Protection Integration pro-
gram through the U.S. Department of
Defense.
The department also worked in co-
operation with The Trust for Public
Land to complete this acquisition.

Calvert Attorney Gets Month-Long Suspension

By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
The Court of Appeals has suspended the law license of a Solomons-based law-
yer for his actions while acting as legal counsel for a limited liability company,
of which he was also a member.
The court’s decision puts Vernon Charles Donnelly out of the practice of law
for 30 days from the day the opinion was filed, according to court documents,
which was Feb. 15.
In short, the state appeals court ruled that Donnelly had filed a complaint for
partition of property against one of his partners in the partnership, known as
Solomons One, and assigned the property rights to a trust, of which he was the
trustee.
He also failed to provide the complaint and assignment of contract rights to
members who had a majority stake in the partnership, among other violations of
the rules of professional conduct for lawyers in Maryland, the court ruled.
The courts ruling also stated Donnelly had “no prior history of disciplinary
action” and “in a lapse of judgement” took actions that the rest of the company
did not approve.
The state’s Attorney Grievance Commission filed a complaint against Don-
nelly in March of 2016
but the application was rejected by both the state and Calvert County.
The partnership considered suing the state and the county and as the litigation
over the rights to build the pier progressed, Donnelly drafted an assignment of
contract rights, with Donnelly as trustee.
This changed the fee arrangement in the original attorney-client agreement;
only two members of the partnership signed the assignment of contract rights
document newly promulgated by Donnelly.
Further, Donnelly filed a complaint against McNelis for partition of the prop-
erty jointly owned by the partnership and McNelis.
The Solomons One majority stake-holding members revoked their agreement
and discharged Donnelly as counsel; though the lawyer continued to act as the
partnership’s lawyer in the pier rights litigation case against the state and the
county.
Donnelly contended that while he was dismissed as general counsel, the attor-
ney-client agreement “independently authorized” him to continue with the rights
litigation case, which was eventually successful.
guyleonard@countytimes.net

Maryland State
Donnelly was one of six people who formed the Solomons One, LLC, whose
stated objective was to buy and develop a piece of property along the Patuxent
River.
The company owned 70 percent of the interest in the property, while one of its
partners, Christine McNelis, owned a 30 percent share.

The object was to build a pier over the Patuxent River, the court’s ruling stated,

nie Fowler Laboratory Building.
There will be a meeting of the

Dr. Carys Mitchelmore, a professor
at CBL.  Dr. Mitchelmore’s work is
in investigating the effects of aquatic
pollutants and other stressors on the
health of aquatic organisms, including
corals. Her presentation will describe
some of the threats to coral reefs at
the global and local scale, highlighting
research in her laboratory concerning
the response of corals to environmen-
tal stressors.
“We’re pleased to have SMMAS
come to CBL and to learn more about
Dr. Mitchelmore’s research,” said Dr.
Tom Miller, director and professor at
CBL. “For more than 90 years, our
faculty has pioneered new scientific
approaches to solving environmental
challenges locally and throughout the
world.”
 CBL is one of four laboratories of
the University of Maryland Center for

Margaret Phipps: A Calvert County
Political Legend
Forty Years in ‘Apolitical’ Elected Register of Wills Office
By Dick Myers
Editor
It probably could have been scripted when she was
a child that one day Margaret Phipps would be Reg-
ister of Wills of Calvert County. What was far from
predictable was that she would hold that job for 40
years.
The position of Register of Wills deals with in-
dividuals and families who have lost a loved one
or relative. Phipps grew up in a family that under-
stood full well the needs of the bereaved. Her father,
grandfather and great-grandfather were all funeral
directors.
She remembers vacuuming floors at the family’s
Hutchins Funeral Home in Owings, predecessor to
Rausch Funeral Home. But, she never at the time
considered entering the family business. Instead she
concentrated on perfectng her typing skills in high
school, realizing that typing was the ticket to a good
job for young girls at that time. “If you could type
you could get a full-time job then,” she explained.
Those skills did parlay into a good job in 1950 at
Andrews Air Force Base, first as a clerk. She left
after eight years when the third of her four children
was due. She had risen to accounting supervisor.
Her husband, William (he passed away 13 years
ago) was a tobacco farmer and also worked for the
State Highway Administration. She still lives on that
100-acre farm in Owings and works it with the help
of her children. “When you live on a farm, everyone
goes in the field,” she said.
They have 16 Black Angus beef cattle and 15
calves. The day of The County Times interview
Cattle at the Phipps farm.
The Calvert County Times
(Feb. 23) she was worried about a calf which had
lost its mother although she was relieved that an-
other cow had taken up mothering the calf.
Her son Michael also raises sweet potatoes and
grain for the cattle. And, he still raises about an acre
of tobacco.
She remains healthy and vigorous after 40 years
on the job by working every day and going home to
tend the farm. They also have a large garden filled
with healthy vegetables.
Her path to the Register of Wills elected posi-
tion started in 1970 when she began volunteering at
the office one day a week, using those typing skills
from high school. “I got interested in it,” she said.
During her lunch hour she went upstairs in the
courthouse to the law library and started studying
up on the law as it pertained to the office. She talked
about that experience last year as the guest speaker
at the Women of the World luncheon.
Maryland’s Register of Wills and Judges of the
Orphans Court are somewhat unique. In most states,
wills are probated by circuit court judges. And,
there are two counties in Maryland that have circuit
court judges do the job.
Phipps’ website, www.margarethipps.con explains
“The Register of Wills and staff provide assistance
for families and attorneys to provide the necessary
documents and information to transfer assets of a
deceased person to the appropriate recipients. A
Register is responsible for the administration of all
estates and probate matters. The Register of Wills
must know the law, but cannot provide legal advice
nor can they set policy. The Register is there to as-
sist and guide you through the process.
Thursday, March 1, 2018
“The nature of the office is extremely apolitical,
however a Register of Wills must file for election
with a party affiliation. A Register helps people who
are grieving to navigate the legal aspects at a very
difficult time. It requires knowledge, compassion,
and a deep sense of service.”
In Maryland, the Register of Wills begin the pro-
cess by meeting with the families of the decreased
and handle the administrative work. If the will is
contested, the Judges of the Orphans Court (elected,
part-time positions) meet and adjudicate controver-
sial matters and approve distribution.
Eventually, Phipps started working full-tine in the
office and when the then Register of Wills resigned
for health reasons the Judges of the Orphan’s Court,
as required by law, appointed her to the position in
1977.
Her first election was in 1978. A lifelong Demo-
crat, as was the majority of Calvert County at the
time, Phipps did have a primary opponent that year
but that was the last time in her 11 elections (includ-
ing this year) that she would have a primary oppo-
nent. She does have a Republican challenger (as she
has had in about half of her elections) in the Novem-
ber general election, the same man who ran against
her four years ago – Mark Lynch.
Phipps says that her office isn’t really political.
“The Register of Wills is extremely apolitical, how-
ever, Register of Wills must file for election with a
party affiliation. A Register helps people who are
grieving to navigate the legal aspects of a very dif-
ficult time. It requires knowledge, compassion, and
a deep sense of service.”
Phipps has a staff of six for a workload that has

doubled in 20 years and close to qua-
drupled in her 40 years as Register of
Wills.
Phipps really doesn’t campaign. In-
stead, she just goes out into the com-
munity as she does every day of the
year, attending events and making ap-
pearances at clubs and organizations,
talking about her job and the impor-
tance of having a will.
She said at one of those meetings
a man told her he didn’t have a will
because he was afraid he would go
to bed that night and wouldn’t wake
up. Phipps asked him if he had insur-
ance, and he said he did. Phipps ex-
plained that a will was just a form of
insurance.
That same man was not married
and had no siblings, living parents or
children. Phipps explained that it was
especially important for him to have a
will in that case, otherwise his estate
would go to his closest relatives, per-
haps to a cousin that he may not even
know. It was to his benefit for him to
make the choices for his estate that
furthers his own wishes.
She is active with the state Register
of Wills Association which takes her
to meetings regularly in Annapolis.
She is the association’s past president
and currently chairs the automation
committee.
“One of the reasons I am so active is
I have trouble sitting still. I’ve learned
a lot and have been really heavily in-
volved,” she explained.
The automation is a significant

change from when she started 40
Pets of the Week
years ago, when everything was man-
ual. And, she has led the automaton
initiative for the state offices.
But, she said there’s another change:
“There was less greed and disagree-
ment (40 years ago) than happen in
today’s world.” An example, she ex-
plained, would be a mother with four
children dying and leaving her estate
to just two of the children. Maybe
Meet Reba!
the children left out were somewhat
estranged. But, when she dies, “they
come back and want whatever they
can get.”
Phipps is not the longest serv-
ing Register of Wills in the state. In
Dorchester County, the Register of
Wills has several years on her. But
there was no question she would file
again and run again.
Dealing with people is where Phipps
gets her greatest job satisfaction.
“People are very different. Some peo-
ple you really feel like you’ve helped
along the way. Sometimes people just
need to sit down and talk it out.”
She added, “Sometimes I just ask
questions and they open up. They feel
safe If they come in and sit down. I re-
ally believe in confidentiality.”
“I am a firm believer if you are gen-
uine and it comes across people catch
it, People understand if you are open
and honest and genuine about what
you do and say,” Phipps said.

of 2017, after being found out in
the cold and no where to go.
She loves to be petted and will

to play and chase cat toys.
She does well with other
cats as long as the other cats
respect her personal space.
She does not however seem
to like being around dogs. Reba
would probably do better in a
quiet home with older children and
no dogs. She has beautiful markings
and is just waiting for her forever home.

Youth Art Celebration Set for Calvert Marine Museum
Come see what inspires our young people
about living on the Chesapeake Bay. The
annual Calvert Marine Museum’s Opening
Reception, of the Youth Art Month Exhibit
is on March 2nd, from 5-6:30 pm. The Art
Exhibit will be up from March 1st-31st. It is
a celebration of K-12 student art work based
on the theme: “Portraits of the Chesapeake
Bay”. The reception includes Free Entry into
the museum, a chance to meet student artists,
160 pieces of original artwork, refreshments
and live music.
The annual K-12 Youth Art Month cel-
ebration “Life on the Chesapeake / Portraits
of the Bay” at the Calvert Marine Museum
was started more than 20 years ago when
Ms. Heather Smith, a high school art teacher
for CCPS for 26 years, realized that the
county didn’t have an Art event like the super
bowl for K-12 artists, that represented how
talented the K-12 Art students are. She men-
tioned thinking about all our community has
to offer and saw that students were naturally
interested in the Chesapeake Bay, nature,
animals and how they can contribute to help-
ing this environment and ecology prosper.
She contacted the Calvert Marine Museum
to see if they were interested in teaming up
with the art teachers and students in making
this a reality and they were overjoyed to be-
come a venue to make this happen. All Art
teachers in the county are asked to partici-
pate so between 1,500-2,000 K-12 Art stu-
dents do projects based on the Chesapeake
Bay each year, encouraging cross curricular
lessons. There are approximately 150 pieces
of student art work in each show. The work
is a combination of 2-D (chalk, pastel, water-
color, tempera, oil, acrylic, pencil, charcoal,
ink, photographs + mixed media) and 3-D
‘When Words Sing, They Get Deeper Under the Skin’
CSM’s Spring Connections Starts With Poet Fleda Brown
A reading by former Poet Laureate of Del-
aware Fleda Brown will kick off the spring
portion of the College of Southern Mary-
land’s (CSM) Connections Literary Series
on March 2 at the Prince Frederick Campus.
Inspired by memory and family and the
natural world, Brown uses these themes to
create connection and depth of response in
her readers.
“I want to dig deep into myself to connect
my interior and exterior, and then I want to
find words that get as close as possible to
that feeling, that thought, that moment, so
you can be there, too,” Brown said. “I want
that moment to enter the reader at the level
of singing. When words sing, they get deeper
under the skin.”
Brown, now a resident of Traverse City,
Michigan, is on the faculty of the Rainier
Writing Workshop, a low-residency MFA
program in Tacoma, Washington. Her works
include “My Wobbly Bicycle: Cancer and
the Creative Life,” “The Woods Are On Fire:
New & Selected Poems” (University of Ne-
braska Press) and a memoir, “Driving With
Dvorak” (University of Nebraska Press). The

Over the past 20+ years, the Calvert Ma-
rine Museum, with the help of Tim Scheirer,
Melody Gillipeau and Rachel Reese, have
generously collaborated with the Calvert
County Public School Art teachers to exhibit
students’ artwork in a professional setting.
March is Youth Art Month and it started in
1961 and has been celebrated in Maryland
for 57 years. The exhibit is a celebration of
student artwork based on growing up around
the Chesapeake Bay. The exhibit allows stu-
dents to feel appreciated and valued for their
hard work. Georgia O’Keeffe once said, “To
create one’s own world in any of the Arts
takes courage.” Ms.
Heather Smith, the Youth Art Month Liai-
son and high school Art teacher for 26 years,
expressed that she feels lucky to work in a
school system and county that supports the
arts. “My Art Supervisor, Jessica Valadie,
does a great job of supporting the fine arts
department that helps make this all possible.
Ms. Smith states, “We have so many talented
students and art teachers in Calvert County.
Participating in the Calvert Marine Muse-
um’s Youth Art Month Exhibit is a great way
to celebrate and share student’s Art talents
with the community.” The opening reception
creates an opportunity for the student artists
to interact with the community and get feed-
back about their work. It’s a great opportuni-
ty for students to see and hear the excitement,
wonder, and appreciation that everyone has
about their personal creations and extensions
of themselves. It’s a joy to see how proud stu-
dents are of their work.
Many of the student artist bring their fam-
ily, friends, and neighbors to the reception.
ems, Brown has won the Felix Pollak Prize,
a PushcartPrize, the Philip Levine Prize
and the Great Lakes Colleges New Writer’s
Award. Her work has twice been a finalist for
the National Poetry Series. She is professor
emerita at the University of Delaware, where
she taught for 27 years and directed the Poets
in the Schools program. She was poet laure-
ate of Delaware from 2007-2011.
Brown said that readings like the ones
organized by CSM’s Connections Liter-
ary Series are an opportunity for listeners
to be exposed to different artists and styles.
In addition, readings are a chance for aspir-
ing writers in the audience to be inspired
themselves.
“One of the greatest compliments I’ve got-
ten after a reading is, ‘You make me want to
go home and write’,” Brown said. “I would
say that about readings from other poets I’ve
attended. If the poet triggers something in
me, reminds me that I have a story like that,
reminds me that there’s a way to see things
differently, that’s what I appreciate. And if
the poet is able to show me a new way of see-
ing, boy, how valuable that is.”
“Our job as poets is to stay present, to see
Parents always comment
how much they enjoy
seeing their children’s
work in a professional
setting, centered around
life on the Chesapeake
Bay. Heather Smith
notes, “It’s rewarding to
see how proud students
of all ages are about their
artwork (shoulders back,
chest out, eyes gleaming,
huge smiles). Art con-
tinues to be a wonderful
way and opportunity for
students to be able to
express themselves. Art
is an integral part of every child’s academic
and social development. This in turn enhanc-
es all aspects of a student’s life.”
Arts education aids students in skills
needed in the workplace: flexibility, the
ability to solve problems and communi-
cate, the ability to learn new skills, to be
creative and innovative, and to strive for
excellence.” Joseph M Calahan, Director
of Communications, Xerox Corporation.
Smith believes Art gives students a visual lit-
eracy, self-esteem, respect, and better creative
problem-solving skills. Students accomplish
this through activities involving the history,
production, aesthetics, and constructive criti-
cism of a variety of different works of art.  I be-
lieve art creates a visual literacy that enables
students to have an expanded appreciation
and understanding of the world we live in.
  Youth Art Month presents a wonderful op-
portunity to highlight the Calvert County
Public School’s talented K-12 Art students.
Maria Shriver says, “Art is fundamental,
what’s right in front of us. Not to proselytize
or to do politics, but to get into the heart of
what makes us human. That’s the most pow-
erful thing we can do,” Brown said.
Brown’s reading in March will be fol-
lowed by a Connections event April 6 featur-
ing poets Nickole Brown and Jessica Jacobs,
both of Asheville, North Carolina. Brown
and Jacobs will read from their work at the
La Plata Campus.
CSM English Professor Neal Dwyer, di-
rector of CSM’s Connections series, said the
three poets being featured were carefully se-
lected for the series. “We feel our visiting au-
thors’ works will resonate with our students
and the Southern Maryland community,”
Dwyer said.
Fleda Brown will read from her work
beginning at 7:30 p.m. March 2 in the John
E. Harms Academic Center (Building

program record of the season as the St.
Mary’s College of Maryland men’s swim
team concluded the 2018 Capital Athlet-
ic Conference Men’s Swimming Cham-
pionships on Sunday. Champions were
determined in the 1650 freestyle, the 100

the 100 freestyle, the 200 breaststroke,
the 200 butterfly, and the 400 freestyle
relay.
How It Happened
Scott continued his strong rookie
campaign by breaking his own school
record in the 1650 freestyle. He finished
second overall with a time of 16:12.73,
which was an NCAA provisional quali-
fying time and shattered his old mark of
16:39.14 set on December 2 at the 2017
Yellow Jacket Invitational hosted by
Randolph-Macon College. His second-
place finish secured his All-CAC award.
Sophomore Peter Orban (Montgom-
ery Village, Md./Watkins Mills) posted
a fifth-place finish in the 200 backstroke
in 1:57.10 while junior Colin Cassady
(Phoenix, Md./Calvert Hall) came in

Claffee (Forest Hill, Md./Fallston) cut the
deficit to one over a minute later but E-town
got it back with under a minute left in the
first quarter.
A pair of Blue Jay goals in the second pe-
riod sandwiched junior midfielder Marshall
Rhodes’  (Potomac, Md./Churchill) third
tally of the season and gave E-town a 6-3
advantage at halftime.
Each team had a goal in the third stanza,
including Claffee’s team-best second score
of the day at 9:34.
The Blue Jays opened up the final quar-
ter of play with three in a row for a six-goal
cushion with less than eight minutes to go.

Four Ways to Avoid Probate

By Lyn Striegel
Contributing Writer
Recently, a lady who attended one of
my seminars discussing revocable liv-
ing trusts was determined to obtain a
trust rather than allow her children to go
through the probate process. This is not
an unusual reaction. This lady was the
personal representative of her mother’s
estate and had just closed probate after
five years of arguments with her siblings!

What is probate? When you die, if
you are holding assets in your sole name
(house, bank accounts, brokerage ac-
counts, etc.) the only way the assets are
going to get to your beneficiaries is by
going through the probate process. Some
people think that if you have a will you
do not have to go through the probate
process. This is untrue. Probate applies
whether or not you have a will.
Every State has a probate process, ordi-
narily starting with a Register of Wills for
Do you

costs?
48015 Pine Hill Run Road,
Lexington Park. MD 20653
the county in which the decedent resided
and held property. Forms are filed with
the Register of Wills to apply to open an
estate in the decedent’s name and apply to
be the personal representative for the es-
tate. Because these filings can be compli-
cated, personal representatives ordinarily
use the services of an attorney to help
them. The probate process in Maryland
takes between 8-12 months and attorney’s
fees range up to 3.5% of the assets. Prior
to closing probate, no funds can be dis-
tributed to beneficiaries.
Probate proceedings are public. It
is not uncommon for probate pro-
ceedings to take several years because
of challenges and arguments among
beneficiaries. And, if you own as-
sets in your sole name in more than
one state, your loved ones will have to
undergo probate proceedings in every
state in which you hold assets.
HOW CAN PROBATE BE
AVOIDED? The key to avoiding pro-
bate is to ensure that when a person
dies they do not hold any assets in
their sole name. Here are four ways
to avoid probate:
SET UP A LIVING TRUST.
The only way to truly avoid pro-
bate is to create a Living Trust. Living
Trusts were invented to allow people
to avoid probate. How? With a Living
Trust, all of a person’s assets are re-
titled into the name of their own trust.
The person becomes the Trustee of
their own trust. When they die, they
appoint someone to be the Successor
Trustee of the trust. Since all assets
have been re-titled into the name of
the trust, when the person dies they
are not hold-
ing any as-
sets in their
sole name.
T he r efor e,
no probate.
The assets
transfer im-
mediately
upon death
to the Suc-
cessor Trust-
ee who dis-
tributes the assets to the beneficiaries you
have designated in your trust. There are
many other benefits to creating a Living
Trust. First, it is private, not public. There
is no court supervision since there is no
probate. No filings need to be made ac-
counting for assets. The Living Trust is
usable in all states, and there are no legal
or filing fees required when you die.
CREATE “PAYABLE ON DEATH”
ACCOUNTS.
Every bank has a form used to desig-
nate who takes the money in your bank
accounts when you die. This is called a
“Payable on Death” or “POD” form. If
you fill out this form for your bank ac-
counts, the bank will pay over the monies
in your accounts to whomever you desig-
nate when you die, without those accounts
having to go through probate.
PUT YOUR ASSETS IN JOINT
NAME.
Many people will add a child’s name
to their house deed so that when they die
the property will go to the child without
the need for probate. However, there are
potential tax problems with this approach.
If you put your child’s name on the deed
to the house, they take their ownership
interest in that house at your “basis” or
what you paid for the house. That means,
when you die and they own the house and
want to sell it, they will have to pay capi-
tal gains taxes on the difference between
what you paid for the house and what it is
worth when you die.
GIVE AWAY YOUR ASSETS
WHILE YOU ARE STILL ALIVE.
Many people “spend down” their own
assets by giving them away before they
die. This avoids probate since you have
given away the assets and do not own
them when you die.
We will be speaking about these issues
at a free seminar at 11am on March 21st at
our office in North Beach. Call 301-855-
