School Security Officer, Higher Ed Center Bills Pass

By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
In the waning hours of the 2018 Mary-
land General Assembly, local legislators
were able to help push through a bill that
calls for major enhancements to school
security across the state and provides
about $40 million to make that happen.
They were also able to resurrect and
pass a bill that just days before had
seemed doomed to failure that will allow
the merger of the Southern Maryland
Higher Education Center in the Univer-
sity System of Maryland.
Sen. Steve Waugh said putting the
merger back on track took much nego-
tiating with Sen. President Thomas V.
“Mike” Miller, who had many reserva-
tions about the takeover.
Funding for the much-anticipated au-
tonomous engineering building at the
higher education center, known as the
third building, was still out of this year’s
budget, though, at least until next year,
Waugh said.
“It is bittersweet,” Waugh said of
the last-minute success paired with
disappointment.
The school safety legislation – SB
1265 – called for each school system to
develop behavioral assessment teams to
look for any threats posed by students.
It also requires each school system to
appoint a school safety coordinator and
work with their local law enforcement
agencies to establish police presence or
response plans for their schools.
Waugh said, in essence, that counties
must provide a school resource officer in
every school or provide a guaranteed re-
sponse time to a school in time of crisis.
The bill was the product of the dev-
astating school shooting in Parkland
Fla. that claimed 17 lives in February,
Waugh said, but the recent fatal shoot-
ing at Great Mills High School provided
even more impetus to get the bill passed.
It passed the Senate by a 43-1 vote
and by a 138-0 vote in the House of
Delegates.
“It lent extra urgency to it and made
it all the more necessary,” Waugh said.
“We are leading the nation in school
safety.
“We have the most comprehensive and
integrated plan. This is a very action-
oriented school safety bill.”
Gov. Larry Hogan signed SB1265, and
113 other bills, into law Tuesday.
“No mom or dad should ever have to
worry when they send their kids off to
school whether their son or daughter
is going to come home safely,” Hogan
said. “I want to thank legislators on both
sides of the aisle for coming together and
working with us to make our schools
safer.”

Case Involved Land in Ag Preservation District
Calvert County Board of Appeals (l to r) Chairman Daniel Baker, Jr., member Susan Hance-Wells and
alternate Marcia Claggett at the April 5 meeting.
By Dick Myers
Editor
The Calvert County Board of Ap-
peals has sided with a county zoning
administrator’s decision in a case in-
volving land in the Agricultural Pres-
ervation District (APD). Jimmie Smith
of Back Creek Enterprises, LLC had
appealed the decision of Zoning Ad-
ministrator Beth Cook denying build-
ing permits for the five platted lots on
the 76-acre tract of land on Sollers
Wharf Road in Lusby,
Smith purchased the property in
2015. His attorney Lawrence Taub
argued that his client had purchased
five lots of record and each lot was en-
titled to a building permit. Apparently,
someone in the county planning office
incorrectly told Smith before he pur-
chased the property he could have five
building permits.
Taub read sections of the county
criminate among the various zoning
categories in granting the rights for a
lot of record, including the Farm and
Forest District in which the property
is included.
Associate County Attorney Pamela
Lucas argued that the property had
been voluntarily put into an Agricul-
tural Preservation District by the prop-
erty’s former owner and thus the rights
argued by Taub were forfeited. Appeals
board member Susan Hance-Wells not-
ed that the history of the APD districts
clearly limited them to one house per
25 acres for the first 75 acres and no
more thereafter, plus one bonus for an
existing home. Even properties of 500
acres could only have three lots.
Cook’s decision, dated June 19, 2017
said there were no buildable lots on
the property and that it would have to
Thursday, April 12, 2018
be resubdivided for building lots to be
created. Cook told The County Times
after the hearing that there was really
only one lot at stake because Smith
was ultimately entitled to four homes
on the property including an existing
one.
During the hearing former planning
director Greg Bowen testified on the
history of agricultural preservation in
the county; he was one of the archi-
tects of the county’s landmark policy.
“I had the pleasure of seeing the pro-
gram from its incubation,” he noted.
The previous owner had transferred
development rights from the property
after it was put in an APD. Bowen said
once that happened, then the APD be-
came a permanent overlay district and
the rules of that district apply.
Taub argued in his closing statement
that the zoning ordinance did not make
the distinction for buildable lots in any
district. “It applies across the board,”
he said. But the appeals board unani-
mously voted to side with Cook’s in
her decision.
Before the case was actually heard,
there was an extensive discussion as to
whether the board had authority over
the case. Lucas argued that the ap-
peal wasn’t filed within the required
30 days from Cook’s June 18, 2017
decision. Taub argued that was not the
final decision, which he said came in
a letter dated November 15, 2017. The
board decided to give broad latitude in
hearing the case.
Smith can appeal the board’s deci-
sion to the circuit court within 30 days
of the decision at the April 5 hearing.
Alternate Marcia Claggett sat in on
the case because board member John
Ward recused himself.

Nuclear Power Plant Gets a Gold Star

Federal Regulators Say Plant ‘Operated Safely’
Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant.
By Dick Myers
Editor
“Operated safely and in a manner that preserved the
public health and safety and protected the environ-
ment.” That’s how the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Com-
mission (NRC) summarizes the operation of the Cal-
vert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant.
In a letter to Exelon Generation Company, LLC, the
plant operator, NRC’s Acting Branch Chief of the Di-
vision of Reactor Projects Michelle Catts said the in-
spection findings for 2017 have “very low safety signifi-
cance’ or are “within expected range.” The NRC cat-
egorizes those two parameters as “green,” as opposed
to yellow or red, which are much more serious.
Catts and other NRC officials were on hand April 4
at Springhill Suites in Prince Frederick for an
open house to inform the public of the plant’s re-
cord. No formal presentation was given and only
a smattering of citizens showed up.
On hand to answer questions were the NRC’s
resident inspectors at the plant, Rodney Clagg,
who lives in St. Mary’s County and Christopher
Roettgen, who lives in Calvert. Also in atten-
dance was Exelon’s Calvert Cliffs Plant Man-
ager Todd Tierney.
The plant’s 2017 operation was not unblem-
ished – there were two issues reported that fell
within that “green” range or were not considered
significant safety issues. But they still were is-
sues that needed to be addressed by the plant
operator, according to the NRC officials.
Those two issues were officially described as:
• Inadequate assessment of fire brigade perfor-
mance during an announced fire drill, and
• Exercise of enforcement discretion for pres-
surized safety valve found out of tolerance.
Clagg explained that announced and unannounced
fire drills are conducted and plant teams critique how
things went. Clagg also observed the announced drill
that was the subject of the violation. The issue, Clagg
said, was that the evaluation team didn’t accurately re-
port what happened during the drill. One failure was
the fire brigade did not use the proper type of fire sup-
pressant (foam).
Clagg said the plant
did an assessment based
on receiving the reported
issue findings and have
submitted it to the NRC;
that now is under review.
Roettgen explained the second issue to The Coun-
ty Times. He said each reactor has two safety valves.
When one reactor was taken off line for a routine out-
age, testing revealed that one of the two safety values
was not operating properly. It was replaced before the
unit was put back on line and the defective valve was
repaired.
Roettgen said the problem was such that it would
have been difficult to uncover except during an outage.
He said the problem was such that it did not even rise to
the level of getting a “green” rating.
Tierney said the company works closely with the
NRC and its inspectors to correct any reported prob-
lems and hopefully to anticipate them before they
become an issue. “We try to respond before that,” he
insisted.
According to the summary data sheet supplied with
the 2017 report for Calvert Cliffs, NRC says they have
a comprehensive program of inspections for commer-
cial nuclear power plants. “Generally. inspectors verify
the organizational structure, operator qualifications,
design, maintenance, fuel handling, and environmental
and radiation protection programs are adequate ad col
with NRC safety requirements.”
The NRC report of 2017 inspections included 49 dur-
ing the year at the Calvert Cliffs plant that generated
the two issues for the plant last year.

Straight Talk on Straight Teeth
BY: JEFF TOMCSIK
Orthodontic braces and clear align-
ers such as Invisalign® are not just
for straightening teeth and mak-
ing your smile look better. In fact,
a highly trained and skilled dentist
will use orthodontic treatment to
improve the function of the teeth
which will result in a healthier, lon-
ger-lasting smile. While good look-
ing teeth are attractive, the purpose
of your teeth is to chew food. When
teeth are misaligned, they can slow-
ly damage opposing teeth during the
chewing process. When they are in
proper alignment, teeth break down
the food they are chewing without
damaging each other.
To help illustrate the point, think
of a well working pair of scissors.
When in good alignment the two
blades come together and meet at a
very precise point that makes them
excellent at cutting paper. On the
other hand, imagine one of the
scissor blades had a slight bend or
a ding in the metal. This imperfec-
tion would surely affect the scissor’s
ability to cut as well as when it was in
perfect alignment. If the one blade
is bent away from the other, there
will be a gap between the points of
contact that cause the cutting action.
The result would likely be a failure

THE PRACTICES OF DAVID J. COOPER • WWW.TIDEWATERDENTAL.COM

to cut effectively or efficiently. If the
bend in the one blade is toward the
other, it would cause the blades to
scrape each other, making cutting
difficult. More importantly to note,
the blades scraping each other slow-
ly destroy the cutting surface of both
blades.
These same principles can be ap-
plied to your teeth. In any area of
the mouth where your opposing
teeth do not meet when you per-
form a chewing motion (meaning
there is a space between the top
and opposing-bottom tooth in any
area of your mouth when your jaw
is closed), like the scissor in the first
scenario, it is rendered ineffective in
the chewing process. On the other
hand, if there are any teeth that are
colliding with their opposing teeth,
they are likely causing trauma to
each other and slowly wearing down
the enamel surface and eventually
the tooth structure. This will like-
ly lead to greater risk of decay and
eventually risk the tooth’s overall vi-
tality.
Many people who have ongoing
problems with decay or pain de-
spite their efforts to keep their teeth
clean, might be suffering from mal-
occlusion issues that are causing the
ongoing dental problems. The good

news is that orthodontics may be a
solution to these problems, and a
straighter, more beautiful smile is a
bonus to the treatment, not the rea-
son for the treatment.
If you’re like most adults, the
thought of braces is unnerving.
Years in metal brackets and sharp
wires is no-one’s idea of a good time.
If these thoughts are keeping you
away from approaching your dentist
about a straighter, more beautiful,
better functioning, healthier smile,
consider a clear aligner option such
as Invisalign®. Invisalign® is a
clear, removeable retainer that may
achieve the same results as tradition-
al braces in less time.
The fact that aligners are remove-
able means you can take them out
whenever you eat. This makes eat-
ing more comfortable and cleaner
as you will not have to worry about
food particles being stuck in your
braces. They also allow you to eas-
ily clean your teeth, where braces
with wires make flossing and thor-
ough brushing more difficult. The
material used by Invisalign® is by
far superior to all other aligners on
the market. Not only is it the most
invisible, it is also the fastest work-
ing material, meaning you will reach
your desired outcome in a fraction
Local News 7
of the time to other safe orthodontic
options.
Finally, with Invisalign® technolo-
gy, your dentist can take a scan of
your mouth and show you virtually
what your results will look like, from
the improved esthetics of your smile
profile to the benefits of improving
any occlusion issues that may be
causing damage to your teeth.
The next time you go to your den-
tist, ask them if they are Invisalign®
certified. Ask them if they can pro-
vide a virtual, digital smile make-
over with the use of an iTero® scan-
ner so that you can see your likely
outcome. Also ask them if you have
any occlusion issues during chewing
and if orthodontics is right for you.
One of the biggest barriers to get-
ting orthodontic treatment dentists
hear the most is that it costs too
much. Before you allow money to
get between you and a healthy, beau-
tiful smile, think about the amount
of money you spent on your last car.
That car will likely not be in your
life ten years from now. The cost of
braces or Invisalign® is a fraction of
the cost of that car, and the results
will last you a lifetime!

Stabbing Defendant Lusby House Fire
Sentenced in Lusby Ruled Accidental
Murder
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
A Chesapeake Beach man was sen-
tenced to 25 years in prison Apr. 6 for
his part in a stabbing attack against two
men at a large brawl that broke out in
Lusby last year where one of the victims
died.
Jamarr Jefferson, 28, was said to have
been part of a large group of people that
arrived at the home of Darrell Savoy on
Rope Knot Road on September 10 to
take part in a melee in which he had his
twin brother, Lamarr Jefferson, assault-
ed both Devaughn Savoy and Javonte
Darnell Willett with knives.
Willet was hospitalized but survived
his injuries; but Devaughn Savoy, 29,
later died of his wounds at Calvert Me-
morial Hospital.
In the aftermath of the melee sheriff’s
deputies found several pieces of evi-
dence, mostly blood, including a Chev-
rolet Tahoe SUV in the drive way with
blood evidence inside.
Darrell Savoy, the owner of the resi-
dence where the fatal brawl took place,
was said to have put a shotgun in the
Tahoe and throw a spent shell into the
The Calvert County Times
nearby woods following the altercation.
Darrell Savoy told police that he was
on his phone Sept. 10 when three vehi-
cles, a sedan and two SUVs, came to his
house to start an altercation.
There were perhaps 12 to 15 in them,
police reports stated, including women
and children.
Darrell Savoy said the altercation be-
gan when a woman punched him in the
head; police said he was not much more
forthcoming in the investigation beyond
saying he was attacked and that the other
Savoy and Willett had been stabbed.
When interviewed at the hospital,
Willett told Calvert sheriff’s detectives
that the Jefferson brothers had been the
ones to attack him and Devaughn Savoy.
Jefferson also received another 10
years for committing assault in the alter-
cation, as well as 10 years for assaulting
an inmate in jail, though both sentences
will run concurrent with the murder
sentence.
Jefferson’s brother Lamarr pleaded
guilty to assault in March connected to
the attack on Willet.

Two High Schools to Pets of the Week
View Mock Crashes Meet Allie!
With the assistance of the Calvert Al-
liance Against Substance Abuse (CAA-
SA), Maryland State Police, Chesapeake
Region Safety Council, and several local
volunteer emergency responders, mock
crashes will be conducted at the hgh
schools in Calvert County.
The next two are scheduled for Hun-
tingtown High School on Thursday
April 12th and Patuxent High School on
Monday April 23rd. These mock crashes
are being conducted as a continuing edu-
cation program geared toward reducing
the traffic fatalities, particularly those
involving young persons. These trag-
edies continue to be the leading cause
of death amongst young people. Sheriff
Mike Evans stated, “We have taken a lot
of steps to reduce these numbers, but we
need to continue to do more.” He added,
“Education helps because most of these
It’s Distracted Driving
Awareness Month
April is designated as Dis-
tracted Driving Awareness
Month by the National Safety
Council. Distracted driving
is any activity that diverts a
driver’s attention away from
the primary task of driv-
ing. Sheriff Mike Evans has
initiated several educational
and enforcement initiatives
in various locations of the
county. In 2015 Maryland ex-
perienced 108 distracted driv-
ing fatal crashes. The Sheriff
added, “Our goal will always
remain to have zero traffic re-
lated deaths in Calvert Coun-
ty.” Distracted driving safety
tips include:
• All drivers are encouraged to only
use cell phones after safely pulling
over.
• If you are drowsy, pull off of the
road.
• Limit the number of passengers, as
well as the level of activity inside
the vehicle
• Avoid eating while driving.
• Do your multi-tasking outside of
the car
Maryland law prohibits the use of a
handheld cell phone and texting while
driving. Specifically, the law states, “A
driver of a motor vehicle that is in mo-
tion may not use the driver’s hands to
use a handheld telephone other than to
initiate or terminate a wireless telephone

Drivers can also be ticketed for writing,

violate this portion of the law receive
a fine of $70 and one point assessed to
their Maryland driver’s license. If the
action results in an accident the fine can
be increased to $110 and three points. If
the action causes serious injury or death
the person may receive a prison sentence
of up to three years and a fine of up to
$5000 (Jakes Law).

She is 8 years old and is a very
affectionate, friendly cat. She will
take a little time to warm up to
you but once she does she
loves to jump in your lap to
be petted. Her favorite spot
is her foster mom’s lap. She
also loves to sleep with her
foster mom. She lives with
other cats and gets along
just fine with them. She
would do well being the only
pet also. She was adopted
out as a kitten but her family
could no longer keep her so they
turned her into Tri County Shelter.
They could have contacted us and we
would have taken her back. Fortunately
she has a microchip so the folks at Tri County Shelter
called Feral Cat Rescue and she came back to us. She is fully vetted.
You can meet her on Saturdays and Sundays at the Petco in California from 10:30 to 3, you
can fill out an application and email to diane@feralcatrescuemd.org. If you know about
cats outside, please contact us to borrow a trap so we can get the cats spayed or neutered.
Help us reduce the number of cats being euthanized every month at Tri County Shelter by
considering this a community problem and your responsibility to help solve the problem.
It does cost tax payers about $100 per cat that goes thru the shelter doors. Let’s continue
to reduce this number by spaying and neutering community cats. Thanks, Feral Cat Rescue

Organ Donors Give the Ultimate Gift – Life

April is National Donate Life Month
Joy McCarthy, of Huntingtown,
knew her husband, Kris, was an organ
donor. They had discussed it. In 2012,
at age 45, the father of three young
children died suddenly of a massive
heart attack. Joy McCarthy honored
her husband’s wishes.
“It is hard at that moment when
you’ve just lost a loved one,” said Mc-
Carthy, “but it was a great comfort in
the sad days that followed to know his
beautiful blue eyes are helping two
people to see and his tissue is helping
someone else to walk.”
McCarthy got a thank you note from
the woman whose husband received tis-
sue to help rebuild his foot. “It means
a lot to me to know that part of him
is still going strong,” said McCarthy,
who serves on the Donor Council at
CalvertHealth Medical Center where
she works as a physical therapist.
For Krista and Jeff French, of Me-
chanicsville, organ donation has a
different meaning. “My husband’s
life was saved by a 23-year-old man
when he received a heart transplant on
March, 19, 2015. [The donor’s] parents
did not know [their son] was designat-
ed as a donor but they are so proud of
him for making that kind and generous
decision,” said French.
“We celebrate [the date of the trans-
plant] every year,” she said. “Because
of that young man my husband got to
see our daughter graduate high school
and go on to college. He got to hold his
son’s first child.”
At one of her husband’s checkups,
French recorded her husband’s heart-
beat and put the tape into a blessing
bear as a gift to the parents of his do-
nor. “They carry it with them all the
time,” she said. The donor’s father told
French, that his son’s “heart lives and
gives love every day.”
As a Donate Life ambassador,
French said she attends community
events to share her family’s story on
the importance of organ donation in
order for others to make an informed
decision. She also supports people who
are waiting for a transplant like a six-
year-old girl who is waiting for a liver
and a local man who needs a kidney.

nor Awareness

Financial Literacy Tips For Children and Grandchildren

The end of the school year is about three months away.
All parents and grandparents worry that three months
without school will put their children and grandchildren
behind the learning curve. That certainly doesn’t have
to be the case. This summer, how about teaching your
children and grandchildren about finance? How can you
start teaching your children and grandchildren? Here are
three tips.
Explain what money is and how it works. Unfor-
tunately, many children hear only negative comments
about money from overhearing what their parents say.
This can easily turn into a fear about money, specifically
not having “enough”. If this fear is coupled with igno-
rance about how money works, the child will not have the
confidence to tackle money issues. Your goal is to give
your child or grandchild the confidence to learn about
money. Money should be explained in objective terms—
what is it? How does it work? What do those pennies
mean? How do the pennies turn into dollars? A simple
way of teaching about money is to start in the grocery
store. If you give your child or grandchild a dollar, for
example, and ask them to buy some fruit with the dollar,
they will quickly understand how the money is used to
purchase food. Take a field trip to the grocery store let-
ting the child handle some money and pay for groceries
at the checkout. You will be amazed at how helpful gro-
cery store clerks, managers and others will be when they
know you are trying to give children confidence about
money. All of us know how important it is to teach chil-
dren about money.
Teach your children and grandchildren that peo-
ple have to earn money to live. I recall one incident in
my childhood that left a lasting impression on me. I was
about 5 or 6 and took a grape in the grocery store and
promptly ate it. My father saw me and explained I had
stolen that grape from the employees of the store; that
employees had to earn money for their families and I had
taken their money by stealing something they could no
longer sell. My father made me take one penny, find the
store manager, apologize for stealing the grape and offer
to pay the penny to the store and its employees—all by
myself. Needless to say, I did what my father asked, in
tears and with great fear, and I never forgot the lesson. I
couldn’t wait until my own child made the same mistake
so I could repeat the lesson. He did and I did. Somehow
we need to teach children and grandchildren what money
means in the context of other people and their families.
Get creative with the concept of savings. Savings is
a harder concept for younger children and grandchildren.
They need to see their savings in the form of one or more
piggybanks. Using a piggybank for small children and a
checking account for older children will teach saving as a
concept. But saving in a vacuum will not generate excite-
ment among children. Setting goals for expenditures and
saving for those goals will teach budgeting. Using more
than one piggybank for different purposes can help even
young children learn how to budget. By setting aside
some money in the “spending” piggybank and other
money in the “sharing” or “saving” piggybanks, children
can learn to allocate money to various purposes. With
older children, opening a checking account and a savings
account is a major step towards maturity. Guide the older
child through the process.
However you approach the subject, you are the prima-
ry teacher for your children and grandchildren and it is
never too early to start them on good money habits. En-
joy your summer with the children and help them learn
more about finance while doing so.

Deborah Jane (Byerly) Shukert, 61,

cancer. Deborah was born December
12, 1956 in Rantoul, Illinois to Rob-

She was employed in health insurance
customer service for most of her life.
She truly enjoyed helping people, and
always went above and beyond to do
so. She grew up and spent some of
her later years in Omaha, Nebraska
until moving back to Maryland to be
with her family. She loved spending
as much time with family as possible,
especially at holiday gatherings. Her
friends were very important to her
and some of her best friends were
those from her childhood. The dis-
tance didn’t matter to the friendship.
She loved getting the most out of life,
especially by going to concerts and
enjoying the Chesapeake Bay. When
she was diagnosed with cancer Debo-
rah told the doctors to do everything
they possibly could for her. She fought
