Community Focuses on School Security

By Dick Myers
Editor
This past week was filled with meetings, social
media chatter and one-on-one conversations about
one topic – school security in Calvert County. There
appears to be near universal agreement that some-
thing needs to be done in the wake of the school
shootings in Florida. There is, however, consider-
able disagreement on how to accomplish it.
The Calvert County Board of County Commis-
sioners (BOCC) and the school board both took
steps in the last week to address the issue. At their
March 13 meeting, the BOCC voted unanimously to
hold a public hearing to use $2 million of their re-
serve in this fiscal year (hopefully within a month)
to begin to address a to-do list supplied by School
Superintendent Dr. Daniel Curry. That list is $7.4
million long.
Curry’s list included: guided secured vestibule
improvements (at 10 remaining schools), interior
classroom hardware; grounds landscaping, fencing
and hardscaping; and perimeter/interior surveil-
lance cameras (at 15 buildings).
But, Commissioner Mike Hart observed the list
may not include some of the immediate needs iden-
tified by teachers and parents at a March 7 com-
munity meeting at the Prince Frederick firehouse
called by the ad hoc citizens group Keep Calvert
Schools Safe, spearheaded by Chesapeake Church
Pastor Rev. Robert Hahn and school board member
Kelly McConkey, along with his wife Kim and Lea
Crandell.
It was noted at one point in the conversation be-
tween Hart and Curry at the March 13 meeting, that
specific issues at schools should not be addressed
in open session. Hart responded, “It’s all over Face-
book,” referring to the reaction to the community
meeting at which problems at schools such as St.
Leonard Elementary were brought up by parents
and teachers. That school has no classroom doors.
At one point at that meeting, Dowell Elementa-
ry School Teacher Dawn Stiffler asked how many
teachers in the audience felt unsafe. Two dozen
stood up. She held up a rubber door stop and said
that was the security for the door on her classroom.
Curry said the school board had authorized addi-
tional security spending last December from health
care cost savings, but the improvements were still
being planned. He hopes they can be done this sum-
mer when school is out.

Town Rejects Weekend Public Hearing

Food Trailer
North Beach Mayor Mark Frazer
By Dick Myers
Editor
The North Beach Town Council has
rejected a request for a food trailer to
set up across the street from the water-
front on 5th Street on weekends during
the summer. The council, on a 4-2 vote,
rejected the proposal by Phelps Conces-
sions of Annapolis.
Mayor Mark Frazer supported the pro-
posal which drew disagreement at the
council’s March 15 meeting. Frazer told
with sand don’t want to walk a great dis-
tance to get a snack. “Where do you go
to get a hamburger?” he wondered.
But the council was told that the plan-
ning commission said they would be un-
able to address the issue of food trucks
before the summer season. That led
Councilwoman Gwen Schiada to say she
preferred to wait until the commission
can look at it.
Hummel pointed out that the trailer
rental would have been more than what
brick and mortar businesses pay in taxes
for the same period. Frazer said the pro-
posal was for $1,500 a month for hav-
ing the trailer on 5th Street for Fridays,
Saturdays and Sundays during the warm
months
The town in previous years has had
food trucks come in for special events
and approved them on a case by case ba-
sis. Mayor Frazer was criticized by town
businesses for allowing a food truck to
park on 5th Street for the New Year’s Day
Polar Bear Plunge.
Frazer said he wants to make the ex-
perience for folks coming to the town’s
beach as pleasant as possible and one of
those ingredients would be a food trailer.
He said if visitors have a good experi-
ence they will return and shop at town

Selection Process Reopened for
Twin Beaches Library Site
By Dick Myers
Editor
The Calvert County Board of Library
Trustees (BOLT) has reopened the bid
process for the site for the new Twin
Beaches Library branch. That decision
came on the heels of criticism of the
board by Chesapeake Beach Mayor Pat
Mahoney for the board recommending
to the county commissioners that North
Beach should be the site.
The BOLT issued the following press
release on March 7: “The first Calvert
Library in the Beaches was on 4th Street
and Dayton Avenue in North Beach from
1981-1991.  It has been in leased space in
Chesapeake Beach for the last 26 years.
For 35 years of the Twin Beaches Branch
history, Branch Manager Joan Kilmon
has served the community through the
library.  She said, “We have always lov-
ingly served both beaches and look for-
ward to continuing to greet all of our
neighbors wherever we are sited.”
“Although the Board of Library Trust-
ees (BOLT) made a recommendation on
February 27, to the Calvert County Com-
missioners regarding a site for a new
Twin Beaches Branch, Director Carrie
Plymire received new information on
Monday, March 5, that has re-opened the
process under a tight time-line.  In order
to qualify for a state capital grant possi-
bly worth up to $2.3 million, the county
or library will need to own the property
on which the library would be built.  The
proposals by Chesapeake Beach and
North Beach were for a lease of the land
to the county for $1/year.
“Currently $5 million per year is dis-
tributed via competitive grants to Mary-
land Library systems for capital projects.
Calvert County has not been the recipi-
ent of any of these grant dollars since
the inception of the program in 2008.
Calvert County Government has a 50%
match required to receive state capital
funds. According to Carrie Plymire,

Hogan Discounts Waugh’s Political Future
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
Gov. Larry Hogan said Monday that Sen. Steve
Waugh (R-Dist.29) was out of favor with many of his
GOP colleagues, particularly over the senator’s recent
vote to override the governor’s veto of a bill that pro-
hibited colleges and universities from asking about ap-
plicants’ criminal histories.
Waugh had signaled in recent weeks that he had fall-
en out of favor with Hogan’s administration over his
vote on that same bill.
Hogan said Monday that he had not placed Waugh
on any enemies list but said the Lusby-based senator’s
bid for reelection was in question because of his recent
actions.
“Many of his Republican colleagues are upset with
him,” Hogan said. “I don’t think the Republican Senate
Caucus is interested in him returning.”
Hogan said Waugh was the only GOP senator to vote

“Anyone who votes like that is probably going to

Sen. J.B. Jennings, the Senate Minority Leader from

“Sen. Waugh is a member of the caucus in good
standing,” Jennings told The County Times. “He’s a

ties on Monday.
Waugh was also conspicuously absent from the re-
election endorsement of Hogan for the District 29 del-
egation of delegates Matt Morgan, Gerald “Jerry” Clark
and Deb Rey back in February.
Two Republican challengers had signed on to
compete for Waugh’s seat in the upcoming prima-
ry election but one, Dr. Daniel Geary, has already

bowed out and endorsed Jack Bailey of Mechanic-

Waugh seemed satisfied that the governor had not rel-

“I guess this particular issue is done,” Waugh said.
Waugh also said he had made amends with Morgan
over Morgan’s choice to have Del. Mark Fisher speak
for him in his stead at a recent St. Mary’s County
Chamber of Commerce legislative breakfast.
Waugh left before the program began on Feb. 26,
apparently due to the Calvert County District 27 del-
egate’s presence.

Calvert Woman Jailed for Poisoning Grandson

By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
Judith Ann Badrian Tetreault, the Lus-
by grandmother who left a methadone
pill bottle open that allowed her grand-
child to take the drug, was sentenced
to prison last week by a Calvert Circuit
Court Judge.
The incident occurred in February of
last year.
Tetreault entered an Alford plea to
second degree assault, an admission that
the prosecution had enough evidence to
convict her of the charge, but not an out-
right admission of guilt.
Tetreault also pleaded guilty to the
charge of neglecting a minor, which net-
ted a five-year sentence that was reduced
to 18 months of incarceration.
Tetreault must also submit to five years
of court supervision upon her release for
probation.
Court records show that when the
child ingested the drug he became ex-
tremely ill, resulting in being put into
critical condition.
Police say that the child’s mother left
him with Tetreault at her Roundup Road
residence Feb. 9 of 2017 but received
continual texts stating that the child
would not stop crying and that his stom-
ach felt hard.
Other texts, sent at about 2 p.m. that
day, from Tetreault to the child’s mother
read “Don’t be mad at me” and “I did not
drug him.”
The mother returned later that same
day to pick her child up and found that
he lacked energy and even had a purple-
colored complexion, charging papers
stated.
The mother took her child to Calvert
Memorial Hospital for treatment; doc-
tors and nurses began using naloxone to
bring the child around but were unsatis-
fied with the results.
They transferred the child to George-
town University Medical Center for
more care, police reports stated.
Tests revealed that the child tested
positive for methadone, a narcotic used
to wean addicts off of heroin and other
opioids; detectives found that Tetreault
had a prescription for liquid methadone
from a Baltimore facility.
The child’s mother told medical staff
at Georgetown that the child’s drink cup
smelled suspicious; doctors were able to
confirm that the overdose of the child
took place at about the same time that
Tetreault texted the mother about her
child’s continual crying.

Cox Family Honored for Leadership in Agriculture

Marylabd Agriculture Secretary Joseph Barten-

felder presents a governor’s and department’s
certificate to Susan Cox.

By Dick Myers
Editor

After the governor’s cabinet meet-

ing March 12 at the Prince Frederick
firehouse, he and his cabinet members
fanned out to more than 100 locations
all over Southern Maryland. They vis-
ited government agencies, human ser-
vices providers, other non-profits and
businesses. During those visits, many of
them bestowed awards and citations.
Maryland Agriculture Secretary Jo-
seph Bartenfelder visited End Hunger
in Calvert along with Lt. Gov. Boyd
Rutherford and later in the day attended
the Chesapeake Bay cabinet meeting at
Chesapeake Biological Lab in Solomons.
In between, Secretary Bartenfelder
stopped at the popular Spider Hall Farm
in Barstow to honor members of the Cox
family for their contributions to agri-
culture. Bartenfelder, a Carroll County
Susan Cox and her son Charles at the March 12 awards ceremony.
farmer, presented citations from the gov-
ernor and the ag department to Susan
Cox and her son Charles.
Susan Cox was honored for her role as
an ag educator, including her alter ego as
Mrs. Moo. Charles Cox was honored for
his involvement in the state’s agriculture
community as a young farmer, whom he
called the future of agriculture.
Bartenfelder said Mrs. Cox’s educa-
tion initiatives were important because
the populace needed to know where
their food is coming from.
Mrs. Cox said when she and her hus-
band David purchased the 362-acre farm
in 2005, he looked out over it and mused
about what he could grow on it. She on
the other hand envisioned “how to share
it.”
Cox said out on the fields of Spider
Hall Farm, “the roots run deep. Chil-
dren need to know where their roots
come from.” The retired teacher said she
shares that connection in her agriculture
education endeavors.
Charles runs the farming operation at
Spider Hall and Susan and David’s two
daughters operate the farmstand out by
Route 231 along with the agri-tourism
business. The family was in attendance
for the ceremony.

Chesapeake Beach Mayor Pat Mahoney
Committed to Preserving its ‘Small-Town Charm’
By Dick Myers
Editor
As he’s celebrating St. Patrick’s Day, Pat “Irish” Ma-
honey remembers his roots in the City of Brotherly
Love by way of the Old Sod, but his passion is for Ches-
apeake Beach. Mahoney was elected the town’s mayor
in 2016 after serving for 20 years on the town council.
Mahoney was born and raised in Philadelphia and at-
tended Temple University in the city. Two of his grand-
parents immigrated from County Cork, Ireland after
the Potato Famine to “better themselves.” His father
was a small printing business owner, and his mother
was a homemaker, raising six children. Pat was the old-
est boy.
Shortly after graduating from Temple with a degree
in U.S. History (he was the first in his family to gradu-
ate from college), Mahoney was offered a job in a field
he knew little about – Information Technology at the
U.S. Treasury. Unlike many people in today’s highly
mobile society, he stayed there for his entire working
career. retiring after 35 years in 2015.
“In 1979 when I was hired by Treasury, a college de-
gree was uncommon then. They substituted my college
degree for specialized experience and I was thrown
into the computer world. I was one of the IT pioneers.”
“For me, I was retired for two years and I segued into
running for mayor,” he explained about his decision
to run. But, he didn’t make that decision until former
mayor Bruce Wahl had announced he was not running.
Mahoney who was vice mayor, had filled in for Wahl
when he was out beginning in 2006, recuperating from
heart problems.
Wahl and Gerald Donovan (owner of Chesapeake
Beach Resort and Spa) before him had been mayor for
more than 30 years.
“It was my pleasure to serve the people,” Mahoney
said of his time on the council even while pulling down
a full-time job in DC. Being vice mayor and acting
mayor, Mahoney said, “I was able to step in and hit the
ground running.”
“We have a very happy town right now. One of the
reasons is when I was elected mayor it was a break in
the Wahl/Donovan administrations, of running this
town for 32 years” he said, adding “I am kind of a
break from that because I have always been more of
a populist, a man of the people. I treat everybody the
same. The perception for all of those years was that the
biggest business in town took preference and that’s no
longer the case with Mayor Mahoney.”
Being mayor is a perfect job for a retiree, he said.
“You can take on a labor of love that doesn’t pay the
bills (my retirement does) and enjoy yourself.” He add-
ed, “There is absolutely no stress,” such as there was
when he was working in DC. He credits the town’s
dedicated staff and Town Administrator Holly Wahl
(no relation to Bruce) for reducing the job’s stress level.
His day begins with checking his emails at home
while getting his first cup of coffee. He comes to the
town hall for about four hours every day, even though
the job doesn’t require that, and concludes his mayoral
duties at home by finishing the emails.
‘I love Chesapeake Beach, the way it is for its small-
town charm. We have got the wolves barking at the
door to grow our town in a fashion that we would lose
our small-town charm. I am willing to sit here and fight
the fight.,” Mahoney said. With that in mind, one of
his mid-term goals is developing the town’s compre-
hensive plan with “appropriate small-town economic
development.”

Calvert School Foundation Awards First Grants

Calvert County Public Schools is proud to announce
the first recipients of the Calvert School Foundation an-
nual grants to foster creative approaches to education.
Members of the Board of Directors reviewed seventeen
proposals and selected four to be funded for a total cost
of $3,000. The activities supported by the grants will
serve 312 students in the school system.
Dr. Daniel D. Curry, superintendent, said, “It’s excit-
ing to see our Foundation, in its first year, make such a
fine contribution.”
The four proposals that will be funded this year are:
“I See a Leader” at Patuxent Appeal Elementary
Campus (PAC)
The goal of this project is to coordinate a Spring PAC
Girls Rock Cub to encourage fourth and fifth grade fe-
male leaders. A culminating activity of the club will
result in an “I See A Leader at PAC” hallway display to
encourage self-confidence and leadership potential in
all PAC students.
Peer Mentoring Program at Northern High
School
Students in grades 10, 11, and 12 will mentor grade 9
students to support their transition to high school, build
self-esteem, and foster greater academic success. The
mentors will increase their own confidence and develop
skills as community leaders.
Increasing Active Engagement for All at Sunder-
land Elementary
The purpose of this project is to increase student en-
gagement with the Career and College State Standards
(CCSS) with an emphasis on math, science, and reading
comprehension. Students will engage in active, visible
learning by communicating models and problem-solv-
ing strategies on dry erase tables.
Field Trip to Washington D.C. for Calvert High
School English As a Second Language (ESOL)
Students
ESOL students will take a field trip to the Smithson-
ian Museum of American History to see history as a
real-life experience. As the students tour the museum,
history will become more relevant, and they will be able
to apply their learning in their social studies classes.

A Message to Parents Thank You for Toy

and All Calvert County
To the Editor:
We have all heard about the heinous
attack in Parkland, Florida at Marjorie
Stoneman Douglas High School. As
in most communities, we think, like
they no doubt once thought in Florida,
“That couldn’t happen here.” WE can-
not sugarcoat it or bury our head in the
sand. The sad reality is that with the
world we live in today we must accept
that it COULD happen here. It could
happen ANYWHERE.
I want to re-assure parents, school
employees and all our citizens that
the dedicated deputies of the Calvert
County Sheriff’s Office have sworn to
protect our county and that includes
entering a school, recreation area or
business and to take action and stand
between our citizens and harm.
Many of my deputies have children
and I have three grandchildren attend-
ing school in Calvert County. Some
deputies have spouses who work in the
school system. Whether there is a per-
sonal attachment to Calvert County
schools or not, my deputies are fully
dedicated to protect the most vulner-
able citizens of Calvert County when
they need it the most.
Each day my office, along with
school administrators and school re-
source officers work diligently to in-
vestigate issues before they become
problems. So, I say this again that all
deputies are trained to respond to an
active shooter incident and we will
go in alone if shots are being fired, I
am committed and I guarantee that
all Calvert County Deputies feel the
same. I also forwarded this letter to all
deputies for them to attach their name
to this document as a reaffirmation of
the oath they took when hired.
Sheriff Mike Evans
and Cash Drive
To the Editor:
The Red Knights Motorcycle Club
Maryland Chapter 4 would like to
thank all who help support their “Toy
and Cash Drive” for the 7th year. It
was an incredible success and it was
only possible because of you. Special
Thanks goes to Kmart (Prince Fred-
erick), Mission BBQ (Lexington Park)
and Bay District V.F.D. and our other
Red Knights Members. This cause
brought members from N.J., N.Y., and
donations from around the world. As
in the past 7 years, Kmart has always
worked with us and given us the Best
of the Best. The dedication that the
staff has shown over the years is re-
markable. Mission BBQ was so gen-
erous that they provided lunch with
all the fixins’ for 100 riders that day.
Bay District V.F.D. opened their doors
and let us have the run of the “Big
House”. Also, all the members of the
community who showed up for a won-
derful ride through beautiful Southern
Maryland.

dren what they want for Christmas.
We work very hard to get the children
what they want. Like the year, a child
wanted a box fan. Yes, our President
went to Sneade’s, explained the situa-
tion and was promptly escorted to the
backroom where the summer stock
was, and got the fan. And the child
who asked for his own set of towels-
Yes, he got towels with his initials on
them! We have had children ask for
body wash, shampoo and other hy-
giene items. The reason I am sharing
this with us is so you will know that
you ARE making a difference in our
own community. These are children
who are in the system thru no fault of
their own. Situations have put them
when they are however we can always
make sure they know that they are
loved and cared for.
In the future, if you want to make
a difference in your own community,
please remember the Red Knights In-
ternational Firefighter’s Club Mary-

dedicated volunteers.
It is a chance to make new friends who
