Budget Hearing Competes

Residents interested in what’s hap-
pening in Calvert County had to make a
choice – the election or the budget. Due to
an apparent scheduling snafu, Republican

the county was holding its annual budget

The conundrum drew a sharp rebuke

Propose Lower Real Property Tax Rate
The Calvert County Board of County Commissioners
is including a real property tax decrease
in the county’s Fiscal Year (FY) 2019 budget.
The change would lower the Calvert County
real property tax rate from $0.952 to $0.937,
or about 1.5 cents per $100
of a property’s assessed value.
The proposed rate is less than the constant yield tax rate that would generate
the same amount of property tax revenue from year to year.
The proposed tax decrease could save county residents
an estimated $1.7 million annually.

ment, the town asked the library board
for a second chance and presented an al-
ternate selection – property they owned
on the waterfront at 5th Street. The li-
brary board selected that site over one
offered by Chesapeake Beach.
At that point Chesapeake Beach May-
or Pat Mahoney complained that North
Beach had been given an unfair advan-
tage by being able to submit a second
bid. At the same tine the library board
said they had concluded that they needed
to have ownership of the property cho-
sen, instead of a long-term lease, so they
could secure state grants. They asked for
the bids to be resubmitted with owner-
ship turned over to them.
Frazer said the town decided they
could not give the valuable commercial
land at 5th Street. He went back to Russo
and he worked out a deal in which the
town would swap their 5th Street parcel
for Russo’s 3rd street property; because
the town’s land is more valuable, an ad-
ditional, unannounced amount would be
paid by Russo to make up the difference
in value.

isn’t dead, however. Frazer is suggest-

of details must be ironed out, including
how much of the cost, if any, would be

Frazer said he told the library board at
his presentation to them that having the
second floor wasn’t a deal breaker for the
town. Studies will have to be done first,
he said, to determine how much space
the library needs and what can be fit on
the site.
North Beach Town Council member
Randy Hummel said he was surprised
that the deal could be made between the
town and Russo. But, he is pleased with
the result: “It benefits both of us.”

Planning Commission
Elects New Chairman
Outgoing Planning Commission Chair
Carolyn McHugh with incoming Chairman
Gregory Kernan.
By Dick Myers
Editor
There’s been a change of leadership with
the Calvert County Planning Commission.
Chair Carolyn McHugh was term limited.
So, when time came for the annual vote
for chairman at the commission’s May 16
meeting, Vice chairman, Gregory Kernan
was elected to lead the commission for the
next year. Member Steve Jones was elected
vice chairman.
Kernan is a member of the Calvert Coun-
ty Republican Central Committee and lives
in Chesapeake Beach. According to a press
release from Charles County Government:
“With more than 25 years of coordinating,
directing, and managing park operations,
Kernan has held leadership positions with
the City of Alexandria, and the Maryland
National Capital Park and Planning Com-
mission. In his career, he has managed more
than 190 employees, provided oversight for
a $26 million parks and facilities manage-
ment budget, and successfully negotiated a
collective bargaining agreement as a union
contract negotiating team representative.”
According to Charles County, Kernan
worked for them in 2016 as chief of Parks
and Grounds in the Department of Public
Work, but he is no longer with them. The
County Times was unsuccessful contacting
Kernan to find out what his current position
is.
McHugh was chosen as interim chair
of the planning commission during the
turmoil in 2016 when the Calvert County
Board of County Commissioners fired then
chairman Maurice Lusby and vice chair
Michael Phipps. She was then elected to the
chairmanship during the annual meeting
last year. But at that time it was determined
that her serving in the interim position up
to that time constituted a term, meaning her
two-term limit as chairperson expired this
year.
Kernan was unanimously elected chair-
man after he was nominated by McHugh.
Jones selection as vice chair was also
unanimous. Jones is a retired captain with
the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office. He
currently serves as a contract special deputy
in charge of the agency’s Dominion LNG
presence.

Judge Rules in
Tiki Bar Case
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
The Tiki Bar in Solomons Island is of-
ficially up for sale after a Calvert County
Circuit Court judge ruled against an ap-
plication for an injunction to hold up the
sale.
The sale had been disputed since
Patrick Donovan, once a partner and
co-owner of the bar with the late Terry
Clark, sued for an injunction, claiming
he still owned 400 out of 500 shares of
the iconic bar.
The defense, representing PT Tiki
Inc., put documents into evidence that
showed Donovan had agreed to sell his
400 shares back in March 17 of last
year and that Donovan was “no longer a
stockholder in PT Tiki, Inc.”
These documents had Donovan’s
signature.
One of the defendants in the suit is John
Martin IV, who was purported to have a
majority control of the establishment.
In his law suit filed in April, Dono-
van, a California, MD. resident, claims
that Martin IV, “is allegedly the primary
stockholder of PT Tiki Inc.”
Martin’s name was added to the liquor
license for the Tiki Bar last year by the
Calvert County Board of License Com-
missioners; he was listed as the manager
there.
At that meeting it was noted Martin
had a 10 percent stake in the ownership.
According to court filings Donovan
and Clarke founded PT Tiki, Inc. in
2005, to do business as a bar in Solo-
mons Island.
At that time, Donovan claimed he had
400 shares in the company, which made
him the primary stakeholder.
Court filings contend that Dono-
van and Clarke had many business
partnerships.
In Donovan’s court filings, he claimed
to have never sold his stock, nor given up
ownership of the Tiki Bar.
These claims were contradicted by the
signed documents entered into evidence
at the May 18 court hearing.

Health Officer: Calvert is Healthier

Smoking While Pregnant Still a Problem
By Dick Myers
Editor
Calvert County is the forth healthiest county in the state, down from eighth. That
statistic was shared by Calvert County Health Officer Dr. Larry Polsky during his
semi-annual report to the Calvert County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC)
sitting as the Board of Health.
Polsky said during the May 22 meeting that indicators of a healthier county in-
clude that 95 percent have health insurance and a high rate of healthy births. But
there are concerns amid the positives, including a higher than average rate of smok-
ing by pregnant women. Although the rate has come down, it is still at 16 percent.
Commissioner mike Hart was dumbfounded. About the dangers of smoking while
pregnant he said, that information has been out there for years.”
Polsky noted the tobacco-growing history of the county. The fair queen is still
called Queen Nicotina. “It’s a cultural acceptance of tobacco,” he said.
Polsky reported that 14 percent of the county’s high schoolers smoke, compared to
the state average of 13 percent. Calvert high schoolers are less likely to use vaping to
replace cigarettes than the state average.
Polsky said that liquid nicotine used in vaping is being flavored to taste like candy
to attract young people to the habit. He said manufacturers will use any lure to get
young people to consume their product.
Polsky usually during his presentations warns against the dangers of Lyme dis-
ease, which is especially critical this time of year when ticks are so prevalent. He
reported that tick and mosquito-borne infections have doubled in the last 12 years in
the U.S.; 75 percent are caused by tick bites, and 82 percent of tick-borne infections
are cases of Lyme disease.
Polsky said ticks on the body for two to three days are the danger, so checking
regularly to catch them and remove them is especially critical. Chance of Lyme dis-
ease transmission jumps to 72 percent if the tick is on the body for 72 hours. Cheap
tick removal devices are available at most pet stores.
Lyme disease prevention includes wearing repellant, checking for ticks daily,
showering soon after being outdoors and calling your doctor if a rash occurs.
Opioid overdose cases are down slightly in Calvert. This year so far there have
been 46 cases, with six fatalities. Polsky said for some reason Lusby, which had been
the hot spot for overdoses, is on the decline so far this year, with Chesapeake Beach
assuming the dubious first place position. So far this year, 13 of the overdoses have
occurred in that town.
Polsky said, “In Calvert and St. Mary’s, close to seven of every eight people who
overdose, survive. Some are incarcerated and others remain in the community. Re-
gardless of location, people are in need of ongoing help.”
For those incarcerated, Polsky said Calvert is second only to Montgomery in jail
treatment programs. He reported, “85 percent of Calvert County Detention Center
inmates have treatable behavioral health needs that will benefit from improved jail
assessments and better access to community-based care.”
The statistics he presented included: “One out of seven county high school stu-
dents have used a pain medication at least once for non-medical conditions.”
Polsky also reported a new, more effective vaccine for shingles, which affects one
in three adults. He said insurance companies are now offering the vaccine without
any copay.
Polsky also gave the Board of Health a briefing on environmental health regula-
tion changes that relax requirements for residential septic systems. Those regulations
are now based on the home’s square footage and not the number of bedrooms. The
changes were met with praise from several board members.

Tax Relief May Be Available

for Weather Damage
The Maryland State Department of Assess-
ments and Taxation (SDAT) encourages residents,
whose real property has been damaged by the re-
cent severe weather, to contact the Department,
as they may qualify to have their property assess-
ments reduced. Maryland residents can click the
application link, fill it out and email it to their
local SDAT assessment office. A list of all SDAT
offices with contact information can be found on
SDAT’s website here. If you have any questions,
please call your local assessment office.
  SDAT offices have recently been in contact
with county governments and other local orga-
nizations to offer any assistance and coordina-
tion necessary. In the coming weeks, SDAT’s
assessors will begin visiting areas impacted by
the severe weather, particularly in Washington
and Frederick Counties, to locate and identify
damaged property. When a decrease in value is
confirmed by an assessor—either from an ex-
terior inspection or from a resident submitting
the attached application—the new real property
assessment will be sent to the County Finance
Office and a new tax bill may be issued. If a
property owner has already paid their tax bill, a
prorated abatement will be issued. If the extent of
damage is not clear from an exterior inspection,
the attached application will be delivered to the
property owner for them to complete and send
back.
 Areas in the national capital region and west-
ern Maryland were hit with heavy rainfall ear-
lier this week, and additional storms are in the
forecast for the duration of the week. The Depart-
ment joins Governor Larry Hogan and the Mary-
land Emergency Management Agency (MEMA)
in reminding residents to take all necessary pre-
cautions to stay safe. Click here for more infor-
mation from MEMA on how residents can be
weather prepared by ensuring that they know
how to receive warnings, follow safety tips, and
take certain actions.
 SDAT will continue to be in contact with state
and local governments to ensure that residents
who may qualify for a reduced assessment are
aware of this application.

North Beach Home & Garden Tour
Slated for June 3
North Beach waterfront.
The town of North Beach is buzzing
with excitement over the return of the
North Beach House and Garden tour,
taking place Sunday, June 3 from 1-5:00
PM. In the past, this event has attracted
visitors not just from Calvert and adja-
cent counties but also from the greater
Washington-Baltimore Metropolitan
area. With so much support for the tour
among town residents and past partici-
pants, the tour is quite literally back by
popular demand after a three-year hia-
tus. It’s a fun, vibrant day of strolling

opportunity for the town to showcase its
pride as well as for visitors to feel the

very walkable, two-mile self-guided
stroll, with the largest concentration of
homes being on or near the boardwalk.

May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month

Save Your Skin: Protect and Detect
Lisa Bauckman was 31 when she was first diagnosed with basal cell
carcinoma. A mother of nine blonde-haired, blue-eyed children, with a family
history of skin cancer, Bauckman takes protecting her family with sunblock
seriously.
For Lisa Bauckman, 37, of Huntingtown, it
was a scab that wouldn’t heal. For John Hatha-
way, 83, of Lusby, it was a spot on his ear.
Bauckman and Hathaway have one thing in
common—early detection that allowed for a pos-
itive outcome for their diagnoses of skin cancer.
“My father has been dealing with skin cancer
for 20-plus years and when he noticed the scab
on my ear he suggested that I get it checked out,”
Bauckman said. A mother of nine, Bauckman
admits that her hectic schedule may have de-
layed her initial trip to a dermatologist, but now
after a fourth diagnosis she is an advocate for
taking action early. “One basal cell carcinoma
that was removed was almost the size of a half-
dollar and it could have been much smaller if I
had acted sooner. I would tell people that if they
have a scab that doesn’t heal, get it checked out.”
“I have loved the outdoors all of my life and
had a few bad [sun] burns,” said Hathaway. Fifty
years ago, when in his 30s, he noticed his first
skin cancer, a squamous cell cancer on his ear
that was treated. Since then he has had multiple
pre-cancers and cancers—including basal cell,
squamous cell and melanoma—treated or surgi-
cally removed.
“The cancers didn’t stop me from spending
time in the sun enjoying my love of sailing, and
now in retirement, golf, but I’m a believer in
doing what I can to reduce my
risk,” said Hathaway, a retired
oral-maxillofacial surgeon,
who covers up by wearing long
sleeved shirts and pants, a wide-
brimmed hat, and sunblock
when he’s out in the sun. He
also keeps regular appointments
with his dermatologist.
According to the American
Academy of Dermatology, the
vast majority of skin cancers
are caused by ultraviolet radia-
tion from the sun.
In 2018, it is expected that
4.3 million people nationwide
will be diagnosed with basal
cell cancer resulting in 3,300
deaths; 1 million will be diag-
nosed with squamous cell can-
cer resulting in 15,000 deaths;
and more than 178,000 will be
diagnosed with melanoma can-
cer with 9,300 deaths. Although
far fewer people are diagnosed
with melanoma cancer, the rate
of death is much higher and in
the years between 1994 and
2014, the diagnosis of mela-
noma cancers increased by 77
percent.
These national statistics are
alarming, yet Calvert Dermatol-
ogy and Skin Cancer Center’s
Dr. Faris Hawit, who also ser-
vice as Vice Chair of the De-
partment of Medicine at Calver-
tHealth Medical Center, points
out that for Calvert County the
rate of late-stage skin cancers
diagnosed is relatively low.
In Hawit’s practice with Nurse Practitioner
Heather Montgomery, he estimates that more
than 50 percent of patients are seen due to con-
cerns about skin cancer.
“The good news is that the vast majority of
cases we see are Stage 0 or Stage 1. I rarely see
Stage 3 or 4, which I attribute to the county’s
excellent primary care providers who are very
good at identifying skin cancers and referring
patients for treatment with a dermatologist,” said
Hawit.
Increase in Cases of Skin Cancers in Men
Over 65
Although women account for a higher inci-
dence of skin cancer before the age of 50, men
rapidly catch up and pass women by 50 percent
at age 65 and by age 80, men are three-times
more likely to be detected with a skin cancer.
Why the rapid explosion after age 65? Hawit
uses the example of microwave popcorn to
explain.
“The unpopped kernels represent skin cells
and the more they are exposed to ultraviolet
radiation—or, the longer they are in the mi-
crowave—the more chance those cells have to
mutate into cancerous cells. So, at the 2-minute
mark the kernels are still mostly unpopped, then
at the 2 minute-30 second mark, the kernels be-
gin to pop. For men, who traditionally have more
jobs that expose them to the sun’s harmful ul-
traviolet rays, and who traditionally spend more
time outdoors with hobbies, age 65 and up can
be their 2-minute-30-second mark.”
What can you do?
On Your Birthday—Examine Your ‘Birthday
Suit’
“People should look at their ‘birthday suit’
with a full-length mirror every year on their
birthday and at least twice more during the
year,” said Hawit. The A, B, C, D, E charac-
teristics of possible cancers are lesions that are
‘A’symmetrical in shape, with a jagged ‘B’order,
presence of more than one ‘C’olor and are great-
er in ‘D’iameter than the size of a pencil eraser.
The most important characteristic according to
Hawit is ‘E’volution—a change in a mole or area
of the skin.
Step out into the Sun Safely
With the majority of skin cancers caused by
ultraviolet radiation from the sun, protecting
yourself and your family is important. If pos-
sible, avoid being out in the full sun during the
hours of 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. If you have to be out
in full sun, wear a hat and protective clothing or
broad-spectrum sunblock of SPF 30 or greater.
Hawit suggests a zinc-based sunblock lotion and
doesn’t recommend using a spray—but if you
must, to spray very close to the skin and don’t
inhale.
Get Checked
CalvertHealth is hosting free skin cancer
screenings as part of their Ask the Expert Se-
ries on May 23 at 1 p.m. at North Beach Senior
Center.

St. Mary’s, Calvert Have Plenty of
STAYcation Spots
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
Summer time means vacation travel for many families but in St. Mary’s
and Calvert counties there are plenty of venues, events and attractions to
make it worthwhile staying at home.
In Calvert County on Solomons Island attractions from bed and break-
fasts to the Calvert Marine Museum offer relaxed accommodations and
fun with science.
The Blue Heron Bed and Breakfast on Solomons offers lodging and a
private pier on the harbor and also serves as a outdoor wedding venue.
The marine museum has all kinds of exhibits about life in and around
the bay as well as the history of what it was like to make a living on the
water.
Exhibits include an open pool with skates and rays as well as a fully
functioning otter habitat.
For those who want to get away from it all the Breezy Point Beach and
Campground in Chesapeake Beach offers swimming, fishing, picnicking
as well as camping.
All the daily campsites are situated in front of the Chesapeake Bay.
In Lusby, the Cove Point Lighthouse Keepers Cottage is also available
for rent with all modern conveniences with stays as long as a week.
Nearby the cottage is the Cove Point Park and Family Aquatic Center
on Fun Way; featuring a lap pool with diving boards, a wading pool for
small children and a leisure pool.
For those who can’t get enough of frolicking in the water the Chesa-
peake Water Park in Chesapeake Beach, which is open everyday starting
My 26.
The wide-open venue offers eight water slides, lazy river, swimming les-
sons for youth by park attendants and all day fun in the sun.
Feature 15
The water park is located right across from the Rod and Reel resort
which offers lodging and dining.
In neighboring St. Mary’s County there is also plenty of fun and relax-
ation available at home.
Bed and breakfasts such as the Victorian Candle in Hollywood are
available and are within close distance to Greenwell State Park’s natural
splendor and equestrian services.
Point Lookout State Park just south of Ridge also offers fishing and
boating amenities as well as a rich historical study of the Civil War and
prison once operated there. Visitors can even tour the light house at the
park, both it and the grounds around the entire former prison camp are
said to be haunted.
Point Lookout also hosts reenactments of Civil War units as well as skir-
mishes from the War of 1812.
Camping at the park is also one of the most popular features there.
In Clements, much farther north, one special event, lawnmower racing,
descends on Bowles Farm every August.
The race brings competitors from all across the country, and even from
far away as The United Kingdom last year, to see who is the fastest.
Fun activities and food for the entire family are available and there is an
admission fee.
This year one of the biggest attractions in St. Mary’s is the Patuxent
River Air Show held June 2 and June 3 at the Patuxent River Naval Air
Station.
Aside from the all aerial acts and static displays the U.S. Navy’s Blue
Angels will make a long-awaited appearance as the premiere aerobatic
act of the show.

Crab Festival Celebrates Iconic

Crustacean
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
St. Mary’s County celebrates all kinds of things, but perhaps what they
love celebrating – and eating – the most is the blue crab.
The Chesapeake Bay’s premier crustacean has been a favorite for
centuries, and though the last few decades have seen a decline in pop-
ulation from historic highs, preservation efforts have ensured that events
like the St. Mary’s County Crab Festival continue to draw hundreds to the
county fair grounds each year.
The festival opens June 9 from 10a.m. to 7p.m. and visitors can feast on
steamed, spicy hard crabs all day.
But the festival celebrates the culinary culture that surrounds the hard
crab, to include all kinds of recipes such as soups, dips and one of the
most refined dishes. the crab cake.
There will be plenty of other seafood dishes on hand for sampling and
crab-themed crafts will be available for purchase as well.
Live music, snow cones and ice cream help to round out the festive oc-
casion, including a car show for which visitors can register their own cars.
One of the big events is a crab picking contest against the clock; the
top three crab pickers will receive cash prizes and eat what they pick.
The crab festival is also open to pets.
Picnic tables set up at the fairgrounds in Leonardtown allow seating for
the hundreds of visitors to feast on blue crab meat.
The festival is all about having a good time but it is also for a good
cause; 100 percent of the proceeds go to the local Lions Club for charity
for their service programs including providing vision screening and eye
glasses for the needy.
The event is sponsored by the Leonardtown Lions Club. To contact the
Lions Club call 240-577-0029.

Comcast Foundation Awards

Scholarships to Calvert County Students
Comcast NBCUniversal today announced that it has awarded approxi-
mately $110,000 in scholarships for the 2018-19 school year to 101 Maryland
students as part of its annual Leaders and Achievers® Scholarship Program.
The program, funded by the Comcast Foundation, is a one-time, $1,000
scholarship awarded to the best and brightest high school seniors for their
community service, academic performance and leadership skills. Since 2001,
more than $28 million has been awarded to nearly 27,000 high school seniors
across the country as part of the Leaders and Achievers Program.
“All of our Leaders and Achievers Scholarship winners show a strong
commitment to their communities and academic achievement,” said Mary
McLaughlin, Senior Vice President of Comcast’s Beltway Region. “We are
honored to recognize their accomplishments and look forward to supporting
them as they further their education.”
Comcast, joined by Bridgette Lundfelt, Director of the Governor’s Of-
fice of Community Initiatives, Maryland House Speaker Michael E. Busch,
and other local elected officials and school administrators, recognized the
students at a special event held at Maryland Hall for the Creative Arts in
Annapolis on Wednesday, May 16. One student, Leah Swindler, a senior at
Friendly High School in Prince George’s County, was selected to receive an
additional $10,000 Comcast Founders Scholarship — instituted in honor of
Ralph J. Roberts, Founder and Chairman Emeritus of Comcast Corporation.
“I want to congratulate each and every one of these exceptional students
and recognize them for their impressive achievements,” said Maryland Gov-
ernor Larry Hogan. “Comcast’s commitment to our children by investing in
their educations is commendable and I am excited to follow these students’
journeys as they help shape the future of our state and our nation.”
The Comcast Leaders and Achievers Scholarship Program provides schol-
arships to students who strive to achieve their full potential, who are catalysts
for positive change in their communities, who are involved in their schools,
and who serve as models for their fellow students. The philosophy behind the
program is to give young people every opportunity to prepare for the future
and to engage them in their communities. The program also demonstrates the
importance of civic involvement, and the value placed on civic involvement
by the business community.
The Calvert County recipients were:
John Dodsworth of Calvert High School in Prince Frederick
Morgan Miller of Northern High School in Owings
Caitlyn Tolomei of Huntingtown High School

Series Finale in Texas SOUTHERN MARYLAND BLUE CRABS

The Southern Maryland Blue Crabs
(7-14) came up short in the series finale
against the Sugar Land Skeeters (15-7)
4-1, giving Sugar Land five wins in the
seven-game series.
  For the first time since the series
opener on Monday, neither team scored
in the first inning. The 0-0 game headed
to the second, where Sugar Land would
grab the lead with a pair of runs. Court-
ney Hawkins started the inning with a
double, with Barret Barnes reaching
via a walk behind him. A groundball to
third set up a double play, leaving just
Barnes on second with two down in the
inning. Alvaro Rondon walked to extend
the inning for Kyle Kubitza, who came
through with a double to score both
runners.
  Matt Sergey (1-1) was dominant to
start the game on the mound for Sugar
Land. The right-hander, in just his sec-
ond start of the season, allowed just one
hit through his first four innings of work.
The Blue Crabs were finally able to get
on the board again him in the fifth, on a
triple from Jose Gonzalez. The RBI hit
scored Edwin Garcia, and cut the deficit
down just one run.
 The Skeeters retook their two-run ad-
vantage in the sixth when Denis Phipps
drove in Barnes. The Blue Crabs offense
looked to respond right away, threaten-
ing in the top of the seventh. Back-to-
back singles started the inning, putting
the tying run on base. A groundout fol-
lowed, moving both runners up to scor-
ing position, before a walk to Garcia
loaded the bases. Gonzalez was up next,
but rolled into a 6-4-3 double play, al-
lowing the Sugar Land to escape and
maintain their 3-1 lead.
  A solo homerun from Phipps added
another run to the Skeeters lead in the
bottom of the eighth. Feliple Paulino TICKETS JUST $13
