New Executive Director
The Calvert Gazette
By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
The Arc of Southern Maryland Board of Directors announced the appointment of Terry Z. Long as the new executive director. Long succeed former executive director Harriet
Yaffe.
Long previously served as the chief operating officer of
the CHI Centers. Located in Silver Spring, Md., CHI Centers

provides vocational rehabilitation, pre-employment training, and independent community living for individuals with
disabilities.
Additionally, Long served as the COO of Community
Residence in Chantilly, Va.. From 1991 to 2006 he served as
senior vice president/chief operation officer, and from July
through December 2006 served as interim president/chief executive officer. Community Residences is a community-base
nonprofit organization that promotes independent community
living for individuals with disabilities and homeless populations throughout the Washington, DC metropolitan area,
extending from Richmond, Va. to Anne Arundel County in
Maryland. The organization serves over 1100 individual annu-
ally and has an $18.5 million budget.

Long began his career in healthcare moving through
a progression of leadership roles starting as controller for an
acute care hospital in Waynesboro, Va., and culminating in a
role as the assistant administrator/CFO of War Memorial Hospital in the Valley Health System located in Winchester, Va.
Given his history, Long said he was interested in finding
an executive director position.
When this came along, I thought this is perfect, Long
said.
Before interviewing for the job, Long and his wife drove

Business Resource
Center Now Available
at Calvert Librarys
Southern Branch
The Calvert County, Md., Department of
Economic Development, through the Board of
County Commissioners (BOCC), is pleased
to partner once again with the Small Business
& Technology Development Center (SBTDC)
and the Calvert Library to offer a self-guided
business resource center for public use at the
southern branch library.
A similar reference center was established at the Prince Frederick library in 2007
and has become a great resource for the business community. Featuring assorted reference materials, the business resource center
provides local entrepreneurs with a wealth of
information that can answer questions on marketing, writing business proposals, incorporating, taxes and more. Unique to the southern
branch business resource center is a collection of step-by-step start-up guides developed
by Entrepreneur Magazine and provided
courtesy of the SBTDC. The guides include
industry-specific steps to help entrepreneurs
through the first three years of business. All
information is supported with worksheets,
checklists, calculators and resource kits.
Kelly Robertson-Slagle, business retention specialist for the Department of Economic
Development, says, We are pleased to offer
yet another tool that entrepreneurs can use to
start, grow or manage their businesses. We envision the business resource center as a supplement to the valuable counseling and training
provided by SBTDC counselors. It provides a
way for people to conduct their own research
or find answers that they can then discuss with
a small-business professional.
Carrie Plymire, director of the Calvert

Library, said, Our reference staff receives
a lot of business start-up and management
questions since many people naturally come
to the library for information. The reference
materials provided through this project serve
the public well and answer the majority of the
questions they have about business. I think
weve done a good job providing a range of
materials the public will find useful.
The SBTDC offers confidential, no-cost
counseling and low-cost training and resources to new ventures and existing businesses in
Southern Maryland with counselors available
in Prince Frederick four days a week. For more
information, visit online at www.sbdchelp.
com or call 301-934-7583.
The Calvert Library consists of a main
library in Prince Frederick and three branches
in Owings, Solomons and Chesapeake Beach.
The southern branch is located at 13920 H.G.
Trueman Road and is open Monday through
Thursday, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.; Friday, noon to 5

Commissioners Adopt $242.9 Million Budget
The Calvert Gazette
By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
The Board of County Commissioners have officially adopted the Fiscal Year 2015 budget, as of their June 3 meeting.
The General Fund Operating budget totals $242,922,582.
It is a structurally balanced budget with no tax rate increases
and a one-time use of $5.9 million of prior years fund balance
to cover $2.4 million of capital project pay-go costs and a $3.5
million contribution to the Other Post-Employment Benefits
Fund (OPEB). Overall, the budget increased by $10.4 million
or 4.5 percent from the FY 2014 adopted budget. Note that this
comparison is impacted by the FY 2013 pre-funding of some
FY 2014 expenses. After adjusting for the pre-funding, the
change is $6.8 million, or 2.9 percent. This increase is largely

due to increased funding for the Board of Education, costs for
public safety and county employee salaries, among other factors, according to documents provided by the Calvert County
Department of Finance.
In addition to the budget approval, a number of parents
spoke up about perceived mismanagement at the Edward T.
Hall Indoor Aquatic Center during the public comment section
of the meeting.
The parents are concerned about the lack of a plan to bring
in a new swimming coach for the Southern Maryland Aquatic
Club following the departure of Erik Collins.
Our children have been coaching themselves pretty
much, said Huntingtown resident Pamela Currie.
Other parents spoke during the meeting about a lack of

commoditization from the aquatic center and a lack of input
opportunities.
St. Leonard resident Sue Kuhaneck took her children out
of the swim club at the aquatic center in Prince Frederick and
has been driving her children to St. Marys College of Maryland because she did not approve of the operation of the Edward
T. Hall Indoor Aquatic Center.
The Board of County Commissioners welcomes community comment at every meeting. For more information about
upcoming meetings, visit www.co.cal.md.us.

Honk When You

Career politicians are like Locusts. They come
out of the woodwork once every two or four years,
make all kinds of loud noises, and destroy everything
they touch. Then after they make certain everyone
remembers who they are, and how much they do, they
disappear until the next cycle.
We intend to change all that. Are you aware that
almost for the first time in history, in the last year or
so, Republicans have become the majority Party in St.
Marys County? And we have a job to do. First we
scoured the area searching for individuals of sterling
character to represent all of us, and we are happy to
introduce them to you as citizens of this area, and you
will be learning more about them. We are asking for
your help to change what is happening in Annapolis.
There is a majority in the State House and General
Assembly who are passing very unhealthy and bizarre laws that will impact each and every one of us.
I would like to talk about Steve Waugh who is
running for State Senate to replace Roy Dyson. Steve
is not running to make this a life time position as so
many who have served and are serving and serving
and serving as if they have become entitled to being
re-elected with no need to care about their constituents but only to perpetuate the party they are a part of
and a lifeline for themselves.
Steve Waugh is a retired Marine Lt. Colonel.
This is the second time he has run for this position,
and just like a Marine, he never gives up. He is committed to lowering taxes and reining in spending that
will help to recreate the job markets so desperately

needed. With the passage of the Marijuana bill by

Martin OMalley he will pursue the drug suppliers.
He supports bringing Prayer back in our schools and
will work to accomplish that. The travesty of what
our Federal Government seems so cavalier about,
Steve is very concerned about what is happening to
our Service Men and Women and how they are being
treated as Veterans, who have given their all to protect
you and me, and he will be attending to this.
He is in favor of the Dominion Cove Point operation which will be an addition to the original plant
and bring much new business to both Calvert and St.
Marys Counties in spite of the environmentalists,
who see disaster everywhere they look. There will
be a fight regarding the ridiculous idea of six hundred
foot windmills made in China in our Beautiful Chesapeake Bay that will pose major problems for Pax River and the testing of their crucial radar systems and
Steve will be working on that. The idiocy of creating
open bathrooms where young boys and girls and men
and women can opt to use these facilities together, is a
big problem with Steve and the first phase of Petitions
will soon be complete and hopefully will be successful and be on our voting ballot as a Referendum to
rescind that law. Then, there is the Rain Tax, that has
got to go. Steve has his work cut out for him, and he is
asking for your support and your vote in the Primary
on June 24th. You wont be sorry.

I first began reading the Times of Israel when I was living

in Baltimore. There was only one newsstand in the city that carried it a mega-kiosk walking distance from a Crown Books. Or
maybe it was a Books-a-million. I dont remember. By the time the
early morning edition arrived following a rush flight from Israel,
the news contained within its pages had whiskers or at least, a
six oclock shadow. I have it delivered to my in-box now, along
with my Facebook updates and smaltzy have-you-ever-seen-sucha-cute-kitty videos.
Of particular interest was a recent column by Diane Weber -Bederman, an observant Jew and self-described a hospitaltrained Chaplin in Ontario, Canada.
In the article, Baderman challenges some commonlyheld beliefs by what she terms militant atheists. She quotes
Christopher Marsh, a faculty member at Baylor University, as
saying,Under communism, an attempt was made to wipe out all
belivers, which led to multi-million deaths of Jews and Christians.
It wasnt only Christians and Jews who suffered under
Communism.
In the former USSR, homosexuals were rounded up in
mass arrests and transported to labor camps, exiled, even executed. In Cuba, gays were exiled to labor camps and held without
trial. China simply denied the existence of gays the thousands in
state-run labor camps notwithstanding.
Although atheists routinely attack religion as a cause of evil
including nearly all wars according to Badermans research,
only 7% of the worlds conflicts were actually steeped in religious
differences. The consensus among historians is that an estimated
20,000,000 were murdered by the regime of Joseph Stalin.
Badermans story is especially timely in view of the current administrations hostility toward religion and the religious
intolerance taking root in America.
In Alabama recently, 20 year-old Jordan McLendon wanted to brighten the lives of veterans who otherwise would see very
little cheer during the Christmas holidays, domiciled as they are in
a veterans home. She delivered over 100 gift-wrapped stockingstuffers to Dallas Medical Center to be distributed among the residents. Ms. McLendon evidently never received the memo from
the Obama administration: The only good religion is no religion.
The gifts were refused because the wrapping paper expressed such
subversive sentiments as Merry Christmas, and God bless.
While it would be comforting to see what happened in
Alabama as an isolated incident, it seems to be symptomatic of a
larger trend.
Nationwide, carolers have been prohibited from spreading
their pernicious message of love and peace, and school childrens
cards and letters to the veterans have been refused. (The Veterans
Administration did thoughtfully provide at least one group of
carolers with a list of politically correct, Government-approved
ditties)
In California, an elementary school teacher, confiscated and summarily disposed of - a first graders candy canes because
they bore a politically incorrect explanation of the religious significance of the red and white coloring.
Baderman ends with a quote by John Das, a student of
comparative religion.
We know from history that the mockery of certain ethnic
and religious groups often led to their persecution.

More than 40 authors from all over Maryland,
and surrounding states, descended on the Calvert
Library Prince Frederick branch for the 2014 Book
Festival of Local Authors on May 31.
We have some talented people in our community and surrounding area. And we have lots more
that have great stories they should be telling. This
event gives published authors a chance to be showcased and gives aspiring authors a chance to learn
from those who have been through the process. And
gosh, its just a fun day out for anyone who enjoys
a good book, said Public Relations Coordinator
Robyn Truslow.
The keynote speaker at the event was Rick
Campbell, author of the Trident Deception, which
has been hailed by Booklist as [t]he best submarine
novel since Tom Clancys The Hunt for Red October. He is always looking for opportunities to get
into the community so he can meet people and tell
them about his books, he said.
Campbell gave a presentation entitled A Dark
Story with a Happy Ending during the author
festival.
Additional activities during the day included a
self-publishing panel, readings by various authors, a
presentation on The World of eBooks and a panel
about writing multiple books, entitled Writing a
Series: Mysteries, Myths and Magic, moderated by
Port Republic based romance author Mary Blayney.
Blayney, an acclaimed romance writer who
has been published as an independent author and in
anthologies with J.D. Robb and other authors, said
events like the author festival are an opportunity for
writers to meet their fans and promote their works
and works of others.
Its all about exposure, said Richard Due, a
Huntingtown-based author and owner of Second
Looks Books in Prince Frederick.
Some authors not only live in the area, but they
write about the area. Eileen Slovack is a Chesapeake
Beach based romance writer whose first book was
about a woman from North Beach. J.C. Sharp, author
of The Barns of Southern Maryland spent months
traveling around Southern Maryland, taking pictures
and talking to people, finding there are considerable

differences between Charles, St. Marys, and Calvert

counties. Each county has its own flavor and Sharp
thoroughly enjoyed the chance to learn more about
them, he said.
Theyre all salt of the earth.
Some authors came from outside Southern
Maryland. For paranormal romance author Mary
Behre, the trip to Prince Frederick from Virginia was
a homecoming. She grew up in the area and graduated from Calvert High School in 1990. Growing up,
she said she never knew that Blayney lived in Port
Republic, or about the numerous authors living all
over Southern Maryland, but she would have wanted
to.
People get excited when they know someone
who wrote a book, Behre said.
St. Marys County based Julia Maki, a childrens author, said she meets the best people at events
like the author festival. Children especially are inspired when they meet local authors.
They think, if my neighbor is an author, maybe I can be too, she said.
Her books are aimed at children with family
members in the military, and she enjoys meeting
children who have read her books. Maki looks forward to coming back for the next author festival in
Prince Frederick, she said.

The author festival is a semi-annual event, happening every three or four years.
This gives our local authors, who often have
other jobs besides writing, time to get another book
or two out, Truslow said.
She started talking to authors last fall and sent
out registration information at the end of March. She
asked authors for presentation ideas and chose the
best ones. Mid-April was when things began ramping up, Truslow said. Library staff helped make a
large display for the author festival. A number of library volunteers came in before and on the day of the
festival for additional support.
Based on community feedback, the library will
probably do a November event next time, Truslow
said.
That way attendees can be thinking about autographed books as good Christmas presents, she
said.
The author festival is only one of hundreds of
events going on at the library. There is something
happening almost daily. For more information, visit

NO MATTER WHO YOU ASK, OUR COVE POINT PROJECT

IS A GREAT SOLUTION FOR SOUTHERN MARYLAND.
Going forward, we will promote fuel-switching from coal to gas for electricity production
and encourage the development of a global market for gas.
President Barack Obama
The export of LNG can help
drive additional U.S. natural gas

production and support hundreds
of thousands of additional U.S. jobs
in engineering, manufacturing,
construction, and operation of the
export infrastructure.
David Mallino, Jr.,
Laborers International
Union of North America
All of this underscores that
President Obama can serve U.S.

strategic and economic interests
by immediately approving every
request to build a liquefied
natural gas export terminal.
The Wall Street Journal
LNG exports will foster U.S. job
creation, new tax revenues, and

stronger international alliances.
At issue is the freedom to export.
Several years from now a portion of a
gas or electric bill being paid by a

customer in Japan or Europe could
find its way into the paycheck of a
worker right here in the United States.
Bipartisan letter to
U.S. Secretary of Energy Steven Chu,
cosigned by 21 members of Congress
Restricting international trade in fossil
fuels is not an effective policy to reduce

global greenhouse gas emissions or to
advance domestic economic interests,
and we recommend against any
such restrictions.
Bipartisan Policy Center
The Energy Department was right to
approve Cove Point, and it would be right

to okay other projects like it in the future.
The Washington Post
John Murphy,
Vice President for International Affairs,
U.S. Chamber of Commerce
Dominions proposal to add export capability to its Cove Point LNG Terminal has received strong support nationwide from
respected business leadersand both sides of the political aisle. Thats because it will bring 3,000 construction jobs, 75 highpaying permanent positions, and tens of millions of dollars in new annual revenue for Southern Maryland. As Dominion continues
a 40-year commitment to Calvert County and the Chesapeake Bay, we look forward to keeping the conversation going.

$90,400 in Scholarship Money Awarded

By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
College bound students are getting
needed help paying for their educations
through a variety of local scholarships, such
as those awarded at the Southern Maryland
College Access Network (SoMd CAN)
Calvert Local Scholarships Clearinghouse
Scholarship celebration in May 29.
The award celebration at Linden in
Prince Frederick. While the group scholarship application has been around for a few
years, this is the first time SoMd CAN has
held a celebration.
Calvert High School senior Hannah
Aris, who plans to attend the University of
Maryland Baltimore County in the fall, said
the clearinghouse scholarship was beneficial because it helped her find out just how
many scholarships were actually out there
and apply to several simultaneously.
Huntingtown High School senior Louis Bethage, planning to attend the University of California Los Angeles in the fall, said
the benefit of applying for several scholarships at once is the time saved and the fact
that there is a possibility of receiving more
than one scholarship. More money expands
opportunities to experience new things,
Bethage said.
Sheriff Mike Evans and County Commissioner President Pat Nutter attended the
celebration to congratulate the students. Evans announced his intention to revitalize the
Sheriffs Foundations scholarship award,
which he intends to add to the clearinghouse
scholarship application next year.
In total, $90,400 in scholarship money
has been awarded by organizations aligned
with the Calvert Local Scholarships Clearinghouse Scholarship, with additional
scholarships still to be awarded.

Barstow Elementary School held its sixth annual mini Relay for Life on May 30.
This year, students raised more than $3,000 during the mini relay, according to
organizer Stacy Criss. The students raised money to help Buster the Bulldog take a
bite out of cancer, Criss said, referring to the involvement of the schools mascot in the
afternoons activities.
DJ Keith Hicks donated his time and services to provide entertainment during the
mini relay.
Penny Clark, a substitute teacher with Calvert County Public Schools, has been
involved in Barstow Elementary since it opened, with her daughter in the first kindergarten class. The students look forward to the mini relay, Clark said, and its good for
them to be involved in because theyre doing something that is all about someone else.
Some students have even foregone birthday gifts in favor of collecting money to donate,
she said.

Diane Herbert Dance
Studio Travels to NYC
Diane Herbert Dance Studio traveled to Radio City

Music Hall in New York City for an experience of a lifetime. Eleven students and their parents went to NYC for
the Rockette Experience, which is a workshop taught by
members of the Radio City Rockettes for aspiring dancers
to have the opportunity to take classes and learn choreography from the Rockette repertoire, including the world
famous Rockette kick-line, go through a mock audition,
and learn what it is like to be a Radio City Rockette. The
Radio City Rockettes believe that it is important to educate
young, aspiring dancers about the skills and talents necessary to pursue a career in dance, as well as encourage them
to pursue their dreams. Therefore, they are proud to present innovative dance education programs throughout the
year. The Rockette Summer Intensive and The Rockette
Experience offer dancers the opportunity to train with the
Rockettes. Both programs allow hopeful dancers to get a
glimpse into the life of a Rockette and gain a sense of the
excitement, challenges and joys that come along with being
part of the worlds most famous precision dance company.
The DHDS students were thrilled to have this opportunity.
Ashlynn Francella of Lusby, MD commented that this
was the best experience of my life! I always wanted to
know what it is like to be a dancer in NYC and especially
the Rockettes. I hope I grow a little taller to qualify to try
out. Michele Wedick, of Lothian, Md. said that it was an
experience of a lifetime that I am so glad my daughter, Lauren got to experience. The dancers got to sit down after
their 3 hour class to ask questions of the Rockettes. They
wanted to know about their audition experiences and how
much time they spend rehearsing. The answers varied but
one fun fact is that the Rockettes start auditioning in Au-
gust and they all have to audition every year. They rehearse
starting in September for the Christmas Spectacular, 6
days a week, 6 hours a day for 6 weeks. 122 dancers will
perform at least 4 shows a day until after the holidays. The
show is magnificent and something everyone should see!
Diane Herbert Dance Studio prides itself in offering all
dancers to experience all aspects of dance from recreational
classes to competition groups. The pride that comes with
being in a rehearsal hall that the general public could ever
see, let alone take a class and learn actual choreography
from this famous dance group. DHDS Inc. makes memories that last a lifetime. DHDS INC. will have their annual
All Star Revue June 13th and 15th at the Huntingtown High
School Auditorium. They may not be in NYC, but they will
take their experience from Radio City to the stage in Calvert County. For more information about the studio check

slaves escaped from Maryland. The largest number departed from Calvert County,
according to an article by Maya Davis in

in 1814, following an April 2 proclamation
issued by British Admiral Alexander Cochrane, promising emancipation to any
slave willing to enter into British military
service against the United States of wanting
to resettle in a British territory, according
to Daviss article.
Escaped slaves were taken to Tangier
Island and later resettled in Nova Scotia and
Trinidad. Slaves who chose to join the British military were later seen guiding British

Carriers Cool Invention

Few things provide such
sweet relief on a hot day as
stepping into an air conditioned building. It is easy to
forget about the steamy conditions outdoors when cold
air is reigning indoors, and
the world has Willis Carrier, an American inventor,
to thank for air conditioning.
Without Carrier's invention, many indoor spaces
would be a lot less comfortable come the summertime.
Movie theaters, trains, buses,
homes, and offices would be
filled with fans ineffectively
moving hot air around. But
air conditioning revolutionized residential and commercial comfort.
Carrier was born on
October 20, 1876 in Angola,
N.Y. His parents were farmers, but Willis had other
ideas. He studied at Cornell
University and graduated in
1901 with a bachelor's degree in Engineering. As an
engineer, he began his career
working for a heating company. In 1902, Carrier was tasked with decreasing the humidity at Sackett-Wilhelms
Lithographing & Publishing Company of
Brooklyn, a printing shop where the intense heat was wreaking havoc on printing inks, causing them to run. He created
a machine that would pass air through a
filter, then over coils containing a coolant,
and then blow the cooled air back into the
space. Carrier's invention was recognized
as the world's first modern air conditioning
system, and the same basic design he began
devising in 1902 is still used in air conditioners today.
After several years of tweaking his design and testing it in the field, Carrier was
granted a United States patent in 1906 for
his invention, which was called an "Apparatus for Treating Air." Carrier continued
to fine tune the air conditioning system
and filed a subsequent patent for dew-point
depression and other humidity-related
findings.
Carrier had been employed by the

Buffalo Forge Company for 12 years, but in
1915 he and six other engineers pooled their
resources to begin the Carrier Engineering
Corporation. The business was relatively
successful until the stock market crash of
1929, when the company then merged with
two other companies to form the Carrier
Corporation. The business was consolidated and centered in Syracuse, eventually
becoming one of the largest employers in
central New York.
Air conditioners were initially only
used by larger businesses, but after World
War II, when the United States was in the
midst of an economic boom, air conditioners began to grow in popularity, eventually
finding their way into private American
homes.
Today the Carrier Corporation remains a world leader in residential and
commercial refrigeration, competing with
companies that would not have been possible without Willis Carrier's innovation.
