Commissioners Uphold
Planning Commission
Chairmans Firing
Vice Chair is Offered Alternate Spot

By Dick Myers
Staff Writer
The Calvert County Board of County
Commissioners (BOCC) has upheld the
permanent suspension of Planning Commission Chairman Maurice Lusby, III. The
decision came on the same 3-2 vote as the
boards Nov. 1 decision suspending him and
came after a raucous Dec. 20 public meeting at which there was considerable support for both Lusby and Vice Chairman W.
Michael Phipps, who was also suspended.
The decision at the BOCC Jan. 10 meeting was different for Phipps. By the same
3-2 vote, the BOCC offered Phipps a position as an alternate planning commission member instead of vice chairman. If
Phipps declines the boards offer he also
will be permanently suspended.
Commissioner President Tom Hejl, Commissioner Vice President Evan Slaughenhoupt, Jr. and Commissioner Mike Hart
voted with the majority on each decision,
and Commissioners Steve Weems and Pat
Nutter voted against the separate motions.
Slaughenhoupt said with the many years
of experience of both men, they should
have known that what they did wrong and
should have resigned. At issue was the
planning commissions continuing to pay
for outside legal counsel after the commissioners ordered them to make such requests
in writing. The commissioners also alleged
that the planning commission violated the
State Open Meetings Act and failed to give
an applicant due process in a case.
Hejl said he had been in law enforcement
for 40 years. When you break the law you
have penalties to pay, he said. Hejl said of
Lusby and Phipps, They are not bad people. He added, It is an unfortunate thing
we are here today.
Hart said his decision wasnt personal as
he didnt know Lusby and Phipps personally. He said he asked County Attorney John
Norris to advise whether the two broke the
rules and the answer back was that they
did. Also, expressing regret at how the situation unfolded, Hart said, I dont like how
this went down.
Voting against the notion to remove
Lusby, Weems said that if a single county
commissioner misspent $1, wouldnt all of
the commissioners be to blame. Would we
not consider all of us to be responsible? he
asked.
Nutter noted that he has known Lusby
for 60 years. He said Lusby and the rest of
the planning commissioners were just do-
ing things the way they had always done

them and the way they had been advised to
do them. They had no intent except for the
good of the county, Nutter added.
Slaughenhoupt said the case against
Phipps was less direct and more nuanced,
thus leading to his motion to offer Phipps
the alternate positon. He said, however, that
Phipps had demonstrated a lack of leadership skills in the open meetings issue. And
he said that the entire planning commission
should take training in the requirements of
the State Open Meetings Law.
During the Dec. 20, public meeting,
many speakers pointed out that determination of violations of the open meetings law
werent the responsibility of the commissioners but the State Open Meetings Compliance Board. But Hejl, however noted that
his review of the alleged violations showed
that it was clear cut. He said it was a matter
of transparency.
In a side issue, Slaughenhoupt took time
to criticize an unspecied legislator for
criticizing the commissioners over the issue. If they think they know how to rut the
county better, he suggested, They should
run for county commissioner.
Several of the commissioners also criticized speakers at the public hearing for
their harsh criticism of county staff, presumably county attorney Norris.
Earlier in the Jan. 10 meeting during
public comment time, Calvert County
Chamber of Commerce Chief Executive
Ofcer Bill Chambers, speaking on the
planning commission issue, said his group
supported the initiatives of the commissioners. He said the county had lagged behind in pulling itself out of the recession,
including stagnant population, declining
school enrollment ad losing commercial
development to other jurisdictions.
The issue is far from over, as Lusby and
Phipps have sued the commissioners over
their ring. That case has not yet been
heard.
Also unresolved is the payment of more
than $13,000 to outside legal counsel that
was incurred after the commissioners ordered the planning commission not to engage legal counsel without the countys
authorization. County attorney Norris is
reviewing the countys legal responsibility
for that bill.

Prince Georges Ice Rink Fire

Hits Home Here
By Zach Hill
Contributing Writer
Around 3 P.M. on Wednesday, January

4th, Prince Georges County Firefighters
responded to a call on a fire at the Tucker
Road Ice Rink in Fort Washington. Upon
arrival to the smoking building, firefighters
worked to extinguish the fire in roughly 45
minutes all while nobody was harmed. The
cause of the fire was reported to be caused
by a light fixture (accidental) with the estimated cost of damages being at around
$500,000.
The Southern Maryland hockey community not know what is going to happen
through the second half of many of their

teams seasons.
It is very unlikely that games will be
canceled, but practices will be. Games
may have to be played at less convenient
times or less convenient rinks. Maryland
Student Hockey League(MSHL) Southern
Conference Scheduler Darren Bruening
says. The Thomas Stone at Northern game
originally scheduled for Tucker Road on
January 6 at 8:00p.m., was played at Bowie
Ice Arena at 10:30 p.m. that same evening.

be impacted with a loss the most are going

to be Northern and St. Marys Ryken, Bruening explained.
Northern High School is the only high
school team that used Tucker Road as their
primary rink. St. Marys Ryken also had
rented some ice time at Tucker Road As
of January 9, Northern has only been able
to schedule two practices for the rest of
the season, both in Waldorf (at the Capital
Clubhouse).
The loss of Tucker Road comes at a bad
time for us. Northerns Head Coach Erik
Larsen said. We had a really good start to
the season and have a lot of momentum going into the final half. Losing ice time is
a big disruption that we will have to overcome.
Northerns ice hockey team is currently
standing in first place in their respective
division in the MSHL, reigning as undefeated so far this season while only allowing six goals in seven games.
Our biggest impact is going to be
missed practices The priority in finding ice is for game slots. We are definitely
going to lose ice time for practice. Fortunately, our hockey community is a tight
knit one. We have already had offers from
our rival teams to share half ice for some of
their practices. Larsen noted.
The other big impact that this will have
on the team is financially, Larsen added.
Over the summer we paid Prince Grorges
Parks and Recreation up front to reserve
our ice schedule for the season. We budget and collect from players enough money
to support the season. Now we have the
immediate and unexpected cost of going
out and buying new time slots from other
rinks. Since the fire just happened last
week, we havent worked out with Prince

Georges Parks and Recreation on what the
plan is for reimbursement.
Prince Georges County Parks and Planning currently manage the rink and are still
working on the decision whether to rebuild
and reopen the rink.
Many people that have come through
the Southern Maryland hockey programs
all understand the need for more ice rinks
around the Tri-County area. With the closest ice rink being in Waldorf at the Capital
Clubhouse, the price for ice slots are inflating with the exponential growth of the
sport.
Seven high school teams as close as
Thomas Stone High School in Waldorf, to
three teams in Calvert County and three
others in St. Marys County all make the
long hike multiple times a week to the same
place for the love of the game.
There will also be figure skaters, skating lessons,(club hockey), and other ice
rink events all trying to find a place. Losing
an area rink will have a ripple effect across
the whole community. Larsen explained.
The loss of this rink will have a net effect
of players traveling farther and taking later
time slots.
Ice hockey in Southern Maryland has always been found on the back burner. Now
that ice hockey is finally gaining more popularity, the sport is being dealt a hefty blow.
How the sport will recover in the coming months and years will be something to
watch for as it wont be long until schedules
will begin to form for next year.
One thing is for certain however; fewer
ice rinks is definitely not what hockey and
ice skating fans around here were hopingfor.
Dunkirk Used Car

Lot Approved
By Dick Myers
Staff Writer
The Calvert County Board of Appeals
has paved the way for a used-car sales operation in Dunkirk. The board after a Jan.
5 public hearing approved a special exception for Joseph Barker of Southern Maryland Auto Sales to create a small operation
at the former Penwick House on Route 4.
The motion to approve the special exception by Vice Chair Susan Hance Wells
limits the used-car operation to between

Association VP Len Nale
ve and 10 cars at a time. The business

will have an ofce on the second oor of
the building in the back and the cars will
be parked to the rear. Hours would be limited to Monday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to
7 p.m.
Barker, who lives in Owings, had previously operated a small used-car business in
Deale, Anne Arundel County. The Northern High School graduate told the board he
Joseph Barker of Southern Maryland Auto Sales
wanted to return to his home county and

raise his family.
The approval came over strenuous objections from the Dunkirk Area Concerned
Citizens Association (DACCA), both in an
email and in person during a presentation
by Len Nale, the organizations vice president. Nale told the board that DACCA had
polled its more than 300 members and all
but two opposed the used-car sales lot. Nale
is also vice president of the Apple Green
Citizens Association, and that community
was polled as well.
Nale told the board: We are against
having a car dealership (new or used) in
Dunkirk. There are several car dealerships
(new and sued) in Prince Frederick, MD
and surrounding areas. As you can see, the
dealerships in Prince Frederick have grown
and expanded signicantly over the years,
which is usually their business model.
Nale argued that there was nothing to
stop Barker from expanding beyond his
promised 10-car limit. But Appeals Board
Administrator Roxanna Whit
disagreed. She said the limit
would become part of the record and exceeding it could
constitute a zoning violation.
She said if it was exceeded
then the business should be
reported to the county.
In his testimony Nale
aleged that another business
was illegally operating in
Dunkirk by spreading out
cars for sale on various shopping center parking lots.
Board member John Ward
pointed out that the Dunkirk
Local News
Town Center Master Plan allows both new

and used car lots but requires a special
exception from the board, in which conditions can be imposed, including the limit
on the number of cars. Wells made note of
that in her motion. She also said if another
business went into the same location they
would also have cars parking on the lot.
Barker told the appeals board that his
business plan model was to keep it small
and simple, which he said worked at his
former location. He said in addition to having cars on his lot, he would assist customers in nding cars anywhere in the country.
He assured there would be no servicing of
the cars on the Penwick House lot.
Barker assured the community that his
business would be low key. With this specic property, you will hardly know I am
there, he said. The property, he added,
has been vacant for four years. It formerly
housed a popular restaurant. Whitt said
although the building was historic, the
property was not in an historic district. The
building faade wont be altered at all by
the used-car business.
The only other person to testify at the
Jan. 5 public hearing before the appeals
board was Barkers father-in-law, Joseph
Swann. He said his son-in-law operated the
business in Deale without any problems or
complaints. He is a ne young man and we
are very proud of him, Swann said.
The Penwick House property sits on 1.12
acres. It is owned by Marshele Burgess
of Bowie.

Hoyer Warns of Problems

with Obamacare Repeal
Since its enactment in 2010, the Affordable Care Act has made a huge difference
in the lives of Marylanders, including here
in the Fifth District. The law took a threepronged approach to address the problems
that plagued our health care system by
working to bring down the cost of health
coverage; increase access to quality health
care; and end discriminatory practices that
prevented many Americans from being
able to get covered. In all three areas, the
Affordable Care Act has proven its worth,
helping over 20 million Americans who
were previously uninsured obtain coverage, lowering out-of-pocket costs for
consumers, and banning insurers from
denying coverage to those with pre-existing conditions or from charging women
higher premiums for the same coverage
as men. Moreover, the law also broadened
access by expanding Medicaid eligibility
and allowing parents to cover their adult
children up to age twenty-six through their
own plans.
Even as the Affordable Care Act brought

affordable insurance to more and more
Marylanders, Republicans in Washington
have waged a partisan crusade against the
law. Having vowed to repeal it for the past
six years, theyve held sixty-ve votes in
the House of Representatives to repeal or
undermine the laws patient protections
and cost savings provisions. In all that
time, they have not proposed any workable
alternative that keeps Americans from
losing their coverage, prevents the return
of discriminatory policies, and lowers
costs. Thankfully, President Obama held
the power of veto, making repeal impossible during his presidency. Now, with
President-Elect Trump set to take ofce,
Republicans in Congress are gearing up to
make good on their promises by repealing
the law without replacing it.
Repeal with no replacement would
mean an economic and health disaster for
families across Maryland and our country. Were the Affordable Care Act to be

repealed, 30 million Americans would

lose access to health insurance, including 347,000 Marylanders. Tens of millions more would see their out-of-pocket
costs rise, including nearly three million
Marylanders who now have private health
insurance that covers preventive services
without any co-pays, coinsurance, or deductibles. Approximately 975,000 Marylanders with pre-existing conditions such
as asthma, epilepsy, or diabetes could be
denied insurance coverage once more, and
women could be forced to pay higher rates
than men. Forty-one thousand Marylanders
between the ages of eighteen and twentysix would lose coverage through their parents plans. The consequences of repeal
would be felt in families and communities
from Leonardtown to La Plata to College
Park and everywhere in between.
Recently, I heard from Fifth District residents whose families have benetted from
the Affordable Care Act and are deeply
worried about the law being repealed.
One young woman, from California in St.
Marys County, wrote to me out of concern
for her family. My father is retiring this
year, she said in her letter, and while I
will be safe on my own employer insurance
plan, I fear for my younger sister who has
not yet graduated and is dependent on my
father and this ACA [under-26 rule] clause
for her care. I am afraid a lack of coverage
will discourage her from necessary and
preventive medical care.
Another constituent, from Beltsville in
Prince Georges County, shared in a letter
that she and her husband are struggling
small business owners, and the ACA

gave us an opportunity to afford health

care. She went on to explain that, in addition to requiring a knee replacement herself, her husband suffers from diabetes, and
we cannot afford to pay for these healthcare services on our own out of pocket.
Needless to say, the woman wrote me,
we, like so many others, are now completely terried at what is to come.
These were just two of the many letters,
phone calls, and social media messages
Ive received from across the Fifth District
showing how the Affordable Care Act is
working and expressing concern about Republican plans to repeal it.
These families, like so many others in
Marylands Fifth District, have beneted
from the patient protections, greater accessibility, and cost savings included in the
Affordable Care Act to get the health coverage they need. Concerns about the cost
of health care need to be addressed, but
scrapping the life-saving and life-changing
health care reforms of the Affordable Care
Act wholesale is not the answer. Instead,
the new Republican Congress and next administration ought to sit down with Democrats and with stakeholders from across our
nations health care system including patients and families to nd ways to improve
the law and prevent the spike in health care
costs that would result from repeal.
Republicans will soon control Congress
and the White House, and they will have
to own the consequences for any changes
to health care in our country under their
watch. Whether they pursue immediate
repeal or so-called repeal-and-delay, the
negative impact of such a move on our
economy and our people will
be signicant and felt in Americans everyday lives. We know
that Republicans in Congress
have no plan to replace the Affordable Care Act if they repeal
it. If they did, we would have
seen it by now.
For the sake of these Marylanders who wrote me out of
concern for the future of the
Affordable Care Act and for
the many others who share their
fears of repeal I will continue
to ght against efforts in Congress to turn the clock back.
All Americans deserve to live
healthy lives, without ever having to choose between affording health insurance and putting dinner on the table or paying the mortgage. Thats what
the Affordable Care Act has
moved us closer to achieving
and what we must continue to
strive for in the years ahead.

Commissioners
Establish Animal
Maters Hearing Board
By Dick Myers
Staff Writer

Commissioners (BOCC) has unanimously
approved creation of a new Animal Matters Hearing Board. The board will hear
appeals from animal owners of an animal
control officers decision on any and all disputes from violations of the Animal Control Ordinance, including hearing dangerous animal appeals and any disputed citations issued for a violation of the ordinance.
Several changes were made in the makeup of the new board since the July 19, 2016
public hearing on the matter. At that hearing it was suggested that the board be increased from five to nine members. Chief
Animal Control Officer Craig Dichter told
the county commissioners that a similar
board in Charles County had a difficult
time getting nine people to attend meetings. Instead, a compromise was reached
for a seven-member board. They will consist of:
1. The Animal Matters Hearing Board
shall consist of at least five (5) and
not more than seven (7) members.
2. The seven (7) members shall consist of: (a) One (1) member shall
be with an affiliation with an animal welfare rescue group; (b) One
(1) member shall be with a professional animal organization such as
a hunt club, American Kennel Club,
or K-9 search and rescue; (c) One
(1) Deputy Sheriff, selected by the
Sheriff; (d) One (1) member shall
be a Veterinarian, or Veterinarian Technician (with three or more
years of experience); (d) up to three

(3) members shall be citizens (without affiliation of an animal welfare
rescue group) and/or professional
animal organization;
3. Members shall be residents of or
have professional residency in Calvert County.
4. Members shall be appointed for
four-year terms, and no Board
member shall be eligible to serve
more than three (3) consecutive full
terms. Upon creation of the Board,
all members shall be given partial
terms one, two, or three-year
terms to stagger appointments.
5. Members shall not serve on the Calvert County Animal Shelter Advisory Board simultaneously.
A board for appeals of animal-related
issues is an idea that has been around for
quite some time and has been supported by
animal welfare advocates. In 2011 former
county commissioner Linda Kelley, herself
an animal advocate, pressed the then board
to create such a board.
The new board comes amid plans for
the county to create its own animal shelter
using a public/private partnership. Commissioner Mike Hart took note of that endeavor during the discussion of the animal
appease board. We are doing this right, by
showing people we can do this humanely
and cost effectively.
VA Seeking Bids On
New Outpatient Clinic
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs is moving ahead with soliciting bids
for contractors to build a new community based outpatient clinic (CBOC) in the
northern end of the county to replace the
aging and inadequate one currently in service at the Charlotte Hall Veterans Home,
officials at the facility have confirmed.
Theres a pre-bidding conference
scheduled for Jan. 18, said Sharon Mattia, director of the Charlotte Hall Veterans
Home. Its a huge step forward, were really excited about it.
The conference will be held at the Washington, D.C. VA Medical Center and will
allow potential builders the chance to see
the requirements for the new facility; bids
for the project will be due by February 15,
according to a statement from U.S. Rep.
Steny Hoyer.
While the new CBOC was slated to be
operational in 2013, this project has been
delayed time and again by the VA, Hoyer
said in his statement released Jan. 9. After
sending a letter to VA Secretary [Robert]
McDonald last summer expressing my

deep frustration and concern by the delays, I am encouraged that the solicitation
has been announced and we are taking a
stepforward.
The new CBOC is planned to be about
17,000 square-feet in size, Mattia said, with
up-to-date services and medical equipment
available for veterans needs.
The facility will include primary care as
well as tele-health medical and mental
health screenings video conferencing as
well as tests for hearing, Mattia said.
The current CBOC has been operating
for the past 20 years in a space at the veterans home, which is the only one in Maryland, Mattia told The County Times.
Now-retired Sen. Barbara Mikulski aided
in getting the funding to stand up the CBOC
back in 1998 in the second floor of the veterans homes maintenance shop, saidMattia.
The building itself is much older,
shesaid.
The space is inadequate, said Mattia.
Its a 50 year old building theyre using.
During the summer of last year the VA

released a notice to certain property owners in the Charlotte Hall area that there
were four sites that met the criteria for a
new location for a CBOC but the VA made
clear in the notice that they were not committed to purchasing any of those four sites.
The four preliminary selections are the
result of a market survey the VA conducted
in May of 2015, documents showed.
The first property is located near the intersection of Three Notch Road and Charlotte Hall Road. Its just under 22 acres in
7
size with 11 acres available for development, the second is located on Charlotte
Hall Road and is 5.6 acres in size.
The third site is located on Three Notch
Road in Charlotte Hall about one-quarter
mile off of the main road and is just over
three acres in size.
The final site is also located on Three
Notch Road and is 7.8 acres in size; its part
of a 57.5-acre site that is set for development of the Charlotte Hall Commerce Center, according to VA documents.
Funding Approved for Sewer

Plant Noise/Odor
By Dick Myers
Staff Writer

Commissioners (BCC) has approved funding to help correct nose and odor complaints
from neighbors of the Marley Run Wastewater Treatment Plant in Huntingtown.
The commissioners at their Jan. 10 meeting unanimously approved the expenditure
of $60,000, to come from capital connection fees. The monies will be used to build
concrete footers around the plants existing
blowers and construct 24 sound absorbing
panels around the blowers at the plant.
According to a memo to the commissioners from Capital Projects Analyst B.
Julie Padulia, Recently, a few Marley Run
residents have publicly asked the Board of
County Commissioners (Board) to accelerate the remediation of the odor and noise
coming from the plant. On December 20,
2016, the Board approved $90,000 to build
above the existing equalization tank, and

install an odor control system.
Since the complaints were presented to
the commissioners, the Department of Public Works, Water and Sewerage Division,
has been actively working on a solution.
They Hope the two commissioner decisions will solve the problem.
The decision came during a long session
for the commissioners that ended in the
evening will joint haring with the planning
commission on several cases. It was their
first meeting after a two-week hiatus because of the holidays.
The Jan. 10 meeting was the first one
chaired by new Commissioner President
Tom Hejl.
Crime
Sheriffs Office Wants

Police Execute
Search Warrants in To Boost Special Teams
Child Photo Case
By Guy Leonard

By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
Calvert sheriffs investigators have executed search warrants related to the case
of a man alleged to have taken pictures
of a juvenile while they were changing
clothes in a bathroom stall at the Edward
T. Hall Aquatic Center in Prince Frederick, an agency official told The Calvert
CountyTimes.
The mother of the juvenile involved
informed police of the alleged incident
and police began their investigation,
officialssaid.
Essentially we have all the electronic
devices we need and weve conducted
search warrants, said Capt. David Payne.
Were searching everything forensically
right now.
We have a person of interest but no one

has been charged yet.
Payne said that police are investigating
cyberspace to see if there is any connection to the case, though the process could
take weeks before anymore evidence is
revealed.
The sheriffs office believes the photo
incident is an isolated one but is urging
anyone with knowledge of the case to contact the sheriffs office with any additional
information.
guyleonard@countytimes.net
Calvert Sheriff Mike Evans strategic

plan for his agency includes increasing the
number of detectives assigned to the drug
enforcement unit as well as adding deputies
to a crime suppression team (CST) that operates in areas were crime trends have been
identified to quash them quickly.
Evans, along with members of his command staff, updated the Board of County
Commissioners Dec. 20 about his plans for
the agency for the next several years, especially with how to deal with the troubling
heroin epidemic.
Major Dave McDowell, the assistant
sheriff, told commissioners that the CST
currently had three deputies assigned to
it and the agencys aim was to double that
number in the next four years.
The crime suppression team allows us
to saturate areas with problems like drugs
or burglaries, McDowell told commissioners. Theyve proven to be very effective.
Evans plan also called for adding three
deputies to the drug enforcement unit, specifically to help investigate higher level
drug distributors.
Evans touted a general decrease in serious and violent crimes like homicide,
rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary,
theft and vehicle theft but said that the opioid drug crisis continues to bedevil law
enforcement.
According to sheriffs office statistics
there were 43 overdoses linked to heroin
and opiates in Calvert for both 2014 and
2015, with actual fatalities from those overdoses increasing in 2015.
Agency information showed that there
were 10 opiate-related fatalities in 2014 but
that figure rose to 14 the following year.
Fatal motor vehicle crashes continue to
be a major problem was well, sheriffs office information showed.
There were a total of 24 such crashes in
Calvert over a four-year period, sheriffs
agency numbers showed.
There were six fatal crashes in 2012 and
2013 each, three in 2014 and nine such
crashes in 2015.

Wiki, Unemployed Joe and Patriot Bill
I have an affinity for the Wikipedia pages
of NFL coaches. The narrative story matters
little; the Career History table on the right
side of the page is the draw (check some out).
It is essentially a comprehensive, chronological and bulletized list of the subjects college
and professional football coaching history.
Its fascinating stuff.
Youre processing affinity for the Wikipedia pages of NFL coaches and conclude
Football Nerd. I cant deny that diagnosis my wife often calls the NFL my other
woman but give me some leash. Check out
this Wiki example:
USC Graduate Assistant (1994-95).
Northern Arizona Linebackers Coach (199698). UNLV Linebackers Coach (1999). San
Francisco 49ers Quality Control Coordinator
(2000). Tampa Bay Buccaneers Linebackers
Coach (2001-06). Detroit Lions Defensive
Coordinator (2007-08). Tampa Bay Buccaneers Linebackers Coach (2009). USC Linebackers Coach (2010). San Diego Chargers
Linebackers Coach (2011-14). Washington
Redskins Defensive Coordinator (2015-16).
This is the long, unstable, mostly progressive/occasionally regressive, college and professional football coaching resume of former
Skins defensive coordinator Joe Barry. It
paints practically every NFL coachs journey: begin as a glorified intern, work through
the ranks, live out of a suitcase for years, succeed, fail, recover, catch a break and, against
all odds, make a name for yourself.
Barry, who lasted only two seasons in
Washington, was fired after his defense ended a second consecutive season ranked 28th
overall. Thats not good, but Washingtons
defense, a woefully talent-deficient unit, was
a known weakness. And that was before injuries made a mess of the safety position and
robbed Barry of Junior Galette, the teams
best pass rusher, for the second consecutive
season.
The firing was understandable, though, if
not entirely fair. After losing two out of the
last three games and blowing multiple opportunities to solidify a playoff spot, a head
needed to roll. Barry was an easy, uncontroversial target. But his dismissal wont cure
Washingtons woes.
The reality is New England head coach
and defensive guru Bill Belichick couldnt
have coached Washingtons defensive roster
into top half of the league. Barry was the
classic chef with limited, reduced-for-quicksale ingredients. The best he could do was
make an edible dish.
And he often did. The defense had its moments of incompetence, but it averaged 22
points/game over the last three, and just under
18/game if you subtract the seven points Carolina scored from the one-yard line and the
six scored by the Giants defense, both products of Skins offensive turnovers. Again,
Washington lost two of those games. Barrys
fault? Hardly.
Barry, like every NFL coach (check out
those Wiki resumes for proof), is the product
of the marriage between his dedication and
acumen and the right circumstances and surrounding talent. Consider Belichicks journey. He started as a graduate assistant with
the Colts and worked for four teams from
1975-1978 before being hired by the Giants
in 1979, where he coached a kings ransom
of talent, including Lawrence Taylor, the
best defensive player Ive ever seen. As a
head coach, he failed in Cleveland; once his
Patriots career ends, he might be the NFLs
all-time greatest coach. What was the difference between Cleveland and New England?
Maybe TomBrady?
Players arent any different. Dallas Cowboys rookie RB Ezekiel Elliott was sensational this season. But hes the equivalent
of uber-talented RB Todd Gurley, a player
whose statistics Elliotts dwarfed. The difference? Elliot ran behind the best offensive line
in football; Gurley, the poor soul, plays for the
moribund Rams.
We all arrive at any point in our lives via
some unimaginable journey. We win. We
lose. We soldier on. Success, particularly
at the highest levels of any craft or personal
endeavor, is complicated. It requires considerable effort and resolve, but its ultimately
beyond an individuals absolute control. Success is also predicated on timing, luck, mentorship and surrounding talent, among other
factors. In a society increasingly quick to
criticize, judge and dismiss, it would be wise
to remain mindful of this fact, particularly
when considering casting dispersions, and
ponder if we are a catalyst or impediment to
others success.
Not everybody crosses paths with a Lawrence Taylor or Tom Brady. Just ask Joe
Barry.

Feature Story
United Way Of Calverts 2017

Mardi Gras King and Queen
Competition Underway
Dave Spigler
Feature Story Writer
With the seasons first winter storm having hit Southern Maryland, United
Way of Calverts preparations
for their annual Mardi Gras
King and Queen Competition is a warm reminder
that Spring is not too
far away. Like the appearance of the first
robins heralding the
approach of warm
weather, this fun filled
charity fundraiser to
start each New Year
reaches its climax with the
crowning of the 2017 King
and Queen on March 4th. A lot
of hard work and effort, especially by the
royal candidates hoping to gain the robe and
crown of these noble roles, goes into making
this biggest of United Ways Calvert Countys annual events a regal success.
What began as a small cocktail reception
18 years ago has evolved into a large fundraising celebration that culminates with a
formal New Orleans style black tie affair
and the announcement of this years King
and Queen. Candidates are challenged to
raise at least $10,000 each through imaginative ideas and charity events; each dollar
they bring in counts as a vote toward their
quest for royalty. When combined with other
special events and sponsorships, their votes
ultimately raise over $100,000 for United
Way of Calvert Countys Community Impact Fund. This money is then distributed
locally by United Way to support and benefit
programs to improve the education, financial
stability, and health of needy citizens living
in Calvert County. Some of the programs
supported include training to help disadvantaged folks improve their skills and job opportunities, teach individuals how to handle
their money and control their debt, and most
importantly, to help subsidize financially
strapped citizens with needed medical costs
and required prescriptions. Since its inception, this unique event has raised more the 14
million for these vital programs.
This years outstanding candidates include
two ladies vying for the coveted Queen of
Calvert and three gentlemen striving for the
title His Highness, the King. Each of these
exceptional individuals dedicate over five
months of their lives giving of their time and
talents to these great causes while maintaining their professional employment in their
chosen careers. Importantly, this is not these
folks first experiences in volunteerism; they
often have a rich history in helping others,
especially the needy within the community. They are very special people to take
on this challenge and make a difference in
peoplelives.
Let us introduce you to this years
candidates
BONNIE BARRETT
Although she was born in Bosier City,

Louisiana in 1965 when her father
was stationed there during his Air
Force assignment, Bonnie and
her family came to the little
town of Olivet here in Calvert County when she was
nine months old. She calls it
the best place in the world.
When she was growing up,
there was only one single lane
highway through the county
and often when you passed someone on the road, you knew them.
She thanks her parents for bringing her
up here for this is a truly beautiful place to
raise a family.
She says she has always been fortunate
enough to work for companies here that not
only encouraged their employees to get involved with charity work, but fully supported their employees when they did. She first
worked for Calvert Bank and upon receiving a promotion, the president of the bank
told her she should step up her community
involvement. She just lost her grandmother
and knew Calvert Hospice had been good to
her during her last days so it was just natural for her to volunteer her time helping this
organization. With this experience, she
became hooked on charity work and has
served on their Board of Directors for years
and still volunteers there to this day.
Bonnie is currently Vice President, Branch
Manager of Calvert County with Community Bank of the Chesapeake in Prince Frederick. Her experiences have given her opportunities to meet so many wonderful people
here. This attitude gives her the desire to
give back to the community that has been so
good to her. Additionally, she finds time to
volunteer as President of the Friends of Jefferson Patterson Park & Museum, Secretary
for the Solomons Business Association and
as a member of the Prince Frederick Rotary
Club. She often volunteers many hours at the
Calvert Marine Museum as well.
She is planning several upcoming events
to further her campaign; she has a Quarter
Auction scheduled for the Calvert Marine
Museum on Saturday, January 28 at 6:00
PM, The next day, January 29, she has a
Champagne Tasting and Flute Glass
Painting event at Stoneys Striped Rock in
Solomons at 1:30 PM. Then she has an Oyster Roast there on Saturday, February 18. On
the following Saturday, February 25, she has
a fun filled day at the Solomons Volunteer
Fire Department and Rescue Squad. And
her friends have an additional event planned
prior to the March Gala. She says to stay
tuned. Also, her husband David and daughters Lauren and Kayla and granddaughters
Lily and Kaya are in it with her for the long
run. It appears Bonnie is off to a great start

and due to her many fine credentials, she
certainly would make a fine Queen. Go to
her Facebook page Vote Bonnie Barrett for
Mardi Gras Queen for 2017 and dont forget

DENISE COLLINS
You may have seen

Denise
volunteering at many of the
United Way of
Calvert County
events here in
the recent past.
She is a happy,
fun loving and
energetic young
lady with a wonderful smile that
she flashes a lot.
She is easy going and
always involved with helping out with whatever the latest project might
be. Her passion for helping others is well
known. She enjoys putting together children
oriented events or working with other volunteers at the Solomons Volunteer Fire Department in running fundraisers. It is said by
many that Denise knows how to put FUN in
fundraiser.
She is not from Calvert County originally. She was born in Annapolis,
but grew up in Kentucky. Upon
coming to Calvert County, she
immediately fell in love with
the area and its four seasons.
She also enjoyed being surrounded by the Chesapeake
Bay and the Patuxent River.
She considers the region a
beautiful place to live and
now calls Calvert her home.
Denise has been involved
with United Way for two years.
She recently received a letter from
these folks stating there are currently
over 600 people who are homeless in Calvert. That number really shocked her as she
believes if there is only one homeless person, it is one too many in this land of plenty.
She says no one should be without food and
shelter and if she can make a difference in
just one persons life, all this effort would be
worth it.
Her team has come up with many planned
events over the next two months including an
80s Night Party at The Striped Rock in
Solomons on Friday, January 27 with time
to be determined. There is a fashion show
planned at The Ruddy Duck on Sunday,
January 29 at 2:00 PM. A Texas Holdem
Tournament will be held on February 4th at
Kingfishers Restaurant. And a large Super
Bowl Party is scheduled at the Recreation
Center in Wildwood on Super Sunday, Feb-
ruary 5. Other plans are in the works. For

additional information go to Denise Collins
for Mardi Gras Queen 2017 on Facebook
and like her page.
Denise has a very large extended family
including her mother Joanne Fuson and her
two sisters Michele and Sandra and several
nieces and nephews. Her family is very supportive of all of her efforts. She shared a story that shows the love of her niece Ava during a recent Polar Plunge held at Stoneys
Brooms Island hosted by Jeanne Stone
who is known for her great generosity and support of Calvert charities
for many years. During this fundraiser where all proceeds would go
to her run for Mardi Gras Queen,
Ava approached her with her piggy
bank and gave her the $40 that she
had been saving. It brought tears to
her eyes.
When not taking care of others or working her 9-5 job at Elcon Enterprises, Denise
enjoys baking and entertaining. She stays
fit by going to the gym on a regular basis.
She states Winning the title of Queen of
the Mardi Gras for 2017 would be an honor
knowing all the money her team helped her
raise will have a huge positive impact on the
County. She is very grateful for this opportunity to run for this role.
MICHAEL OSHEA
Michael is a very busy attorney with Davis, Upton

and Palumbo in Prince
Frederick specializing in
real estate and civil litigation. He has lived in
Calvert since he was a
year old. His dad was a
Navy Dentist and when
he left the Navy, he set up
a practice in Prince Frederick. As a youth, he spent a lot
of time on the Bay, playing local sports, and riding his bike on the
streets of Chesapeake Beach with his friends.
He says this was a nice place to grow up and
he realizes it more and more each and every
day as an adult. He considers himself lucky
to have been raised here. We wants to help
those folks in the County who have not been
as fortunate as his family. He says in helping
others, he is helping make Calvert a better
place to live.
In addition to his dad, Michael has a brother who is also a dentist and owns a practice
in Mechanicsville in St. Marys County.
His sister is a physical therapy assistant at
Calvert Memorial and his mother works as
a dental hygienist in his dads office. They
all live in Calvert County and they all have
been very active in spreading the word about
his campaign for King. He says living and
working in Calvert has its perks when pro-
moting events like his. His team recently

held a photograph session opportunity with
Santa before Christmas and they are putting
together plans for a fundraiser at a local restaurant shortly.
Michael is very involved in county affairs. He serves on many boards ranging
from the Young Professionals Network to
the Southern Maryland Community Network and the Calvert Nature Society. He
is also active in the Calvert Historical Society and the Young Farmers program. He
even continues to farm a small plot owned
by his family. When he can find the time, he
likes to relax by sailing, cycling, cooking and
reading.
He shared with us his love of practicing
law and the ability to help people with their
legal questions and issues. Had he not gone
into the legal field, he would have been a high
school history teacher as history and government were his favorite subjects. He truly enjoys learning new things and helping others
learn as well.

James is a self-employed proprietor who has turned one

of his hobbies into his lifes
work. James owns Risingers Outdoor Endeavors here in Calvert

his military service and couple it with his love

of the outdoors into producing an income. It
would appear he is living the dream many of
us are in search of.
He is no stranger to supporting and fundraising for causes that are important to him.
He is an experienced fundraiser with the
March of Dimes and his local church. Following an injury during his third combat tour in
Afghanistan, James was made to reevaluate
his lifes path and decide what he could do to
make the best of his situation. It was then he
decided to start his business to conduct one
on one counseling with his peers suffering
from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and other
wounds, both physical and mental. James is
able to continue to serve veterans learn how to
interact with people now that their lives have
been changed. In addition to mentoring, he
leads outdoor excursions to provide a physical
outlet for the folks with whom he works.
He has been quoted earlier concerning his
desires to help othersI would like to use this
experience to help the people in my new adopted home of Calvert County. I feel that by communicating with people in the county about
the work that the United Way does for the
county would greatly improve many
peoples quality of life.
In keeping with an outdoor
theme, James team sponsored a Corn Hole Tournament last month and has
other events planned between now and the Mardi
Gras celebration in March.
We should note, James is married to Belinda Denton, a veteran of previous King and Queen
competitions.
BILLY SAUNDERS
Billy has a longtime history

of involvement with community activities throughout the
entire County from Dunkirk to
Solomons. He started coaching
his young sons baseball team in
Charles County for seven years prior
to moving to Calvert County. Finding
the Calvert youth programs were already
well established with plenty of good coaches,
he figured his coaching days were over. But
while standing around with a bunch of football dads a guy approached and asked Who
would want to coach the Pee Wee team?
While Bill was mulling it over, a lady recognized him from his early days as a baseball
coach and said Why dont you do it Coach
Billy? And that was all the other gent needed
to hear. Before Billy could say a word, he was
given the bag of footballs and a whistle and
the gent walked away. So there he was left
literally holding the bag. But he latched on to
another dad and between them they went to
work building a team of real young football
wannabes.
From that day forward, Billy fully immersed
himself in youth sports, often coaching 3 or 4
nights a week. He was a popular leader and
rose to become director or commissioner for
many county youth programs over the next 12
years. He is the former president of the Prince
Frederick Youth organization. His name became synonymous with coaching football and
he developed a great reputation for working
well with people in all parts of the county.
His warm, friendly attitude bodes well in
his professional life as a mortgage broker. He
is a seasoned veteran of the mortgage banking
industry with nearly 15 years of dedicated real
Feature Story
13
estate service in Southern Maryland. He is

currently the Branch
Manager of Movement Mortgage in
Prince Frederick.
He has made many
friends in providing
home mortgages for
folks moving to the area.
He shares the same beliefs
with his clients about the quality
of life here and the fact that it is a perfect place
to raise a family. It brings him much joy when
he later runs into these same people and they
tell him he was right in describing how good
life is here in Calvert County.
Billy is the local coordinator for Toys For
Tots and a member of the Calvert County Optimists, an organization that has a special mission for the betterment of our youth. He was
recently recognized by the Calvert Collaborative for Children and Youth as a Champion
for Children. His many experiences in working with people is a significant factor for his
selection as a candidate for this years King.
Finally, this event concludes with a magnificent Gala celebration at Annmarie Gardens in
Solomons that is highlighted by the announcement of the new King and Queen for 2017.
The current royal couple, King Mark Frisco
and Queen Misty Gibson will surrender their
robes and crowns to the new couple following
their 12 month reigns. The ceremony is one
not to be missed. It is a fun filled lavish affair
and one of the best parties in all of Southern
Maryland.

Award-Winning Documentary Loose Pig Nets Employee

Coming to Solomons
of Month Award
The Calvert Marine Museum is hosting

a special screening of the award-winning
documentary A Plastic Ocean on Thursday, January 19 at 7 p.m. The public is invited to this free screening, followed by a
short discussion.
A Plastic Ocean uncovers the shocking
truth about what is truly lurking beneath
the oceans surface. Did you know that
more than eight million tons of plastic are
dumped into our oceans each year? This
lm follows an international team of adventurers, researchers, and ocean ambassadors on a mission around the globe and
shows the devastating effects of our dispos-
able lifestyle on marine life and the consequences for human health.
During its four-year production period, A Plastic Ocean was lmed in 20
locations around the world. It has documented the global effects of plastic pollution and introduced workable technology and policy solutions that can change
things, if implemented in time. For more
information, contact Dave Moyer at moyerde@co.cal.md.us or visit the website at

Calvert Countys December Employee

of the Moth earned that distinction through
an unusual accomplishment. He successfully captured an at-large potbelly pig.
Animal Control Ofcer Timothy Lewis
faced quite a challenge in rounding up the
wayward pig. According to a mem from
Employee Recognition Chair Peter Carlson, Lewis went so far as to design and
build, on his own time using items around
his house, a device to capture this pig. Because of his perseverance, Lewis was able
to capture the pig which was subsequently
adopted by another Calvert family.
Lewis supervisor, Chief Animal Control Ofcer Craig Dichter, said the potbelly
pig incident was just one example of his
perseverance and ingenuity. He is really a
very special employee, Dichter said.
