Superintendent Criticized for Graduation Speech
By Dick Myers
Editor
Calvert County Superintendent of Schools Dr.
Dane Curry approached the podium at the Hun-
tingtown High School graduation with a baby doll
cradled in his arms. He told the graduates and their
parents and friends in the Showplace Arena stands
that 80 percent of the graduates would become
parents.
He then asked the students, with boys and girls
staggered in seats, to face each other and for one
to say, “I Like You” and the other to say, “I want to
have a baby.”
Curry then went on to say that for some that’s all
the thought that goes into making a baby, which of
course, it shouldn’t be. He then launched into the
theme of his speech, which was that parents should
love their children and prepare them for the time
that they will be entering school.
He used as an example a woman with children
he saw recently in a grocery store. He said she was
on her cell phone the entire time and missed a great
teaching opportunity for her children in a place
that was filled with colors and words that could be
learned.
Nonetheless, the speech went viral. There were
numerous negative comments on Facebook. Here
are some of them:
• “The oddest, most insane and inappropriate
graduation speech I have ever heard given by a
superintendent.”.

• “It was horrible! He was an embarrassment when
I heard him at Patuxent’s yesterday.”
• “Completely inappropriate and unprofessional. I
can’t believe people didn’t boo or walkout. In-
stead of words of encouragement as they ven-
ture out and become our future leaders, he gives
them this ridiculousness.”
• “Agree!  Same crap at Calvert’s tonight!  We
couldn’t believe our ears and he just wouldn’t
shut up!  Ridiculous.”
• “And we wonder what is wrong with society?  To
think this man is overseeing the education of our
15,000+ students is beyond incomprehensible. I
call on the School Board to act now, send him for
an evaluation immediately. Our citizens need to
stand up and demand his removal.”
• “This guy has lost his mind! I loved the faces on
the audience when the camera panned around.
Hilarious and sad at the same time!!”
Curry explained to The County Tmnes that his
intent was to help launch a new initiative called Cal-
vert Basics that helps parents prepare their children
for school. He said after the first set of graduations
for Huntingtown and Northern, he received a couple
of negative emails. “They called it the baby making
speech:” he said.
Curry said it surely wasn’t his intention to of-
fend anyone and he modified the speech the second
night, removing the “I want to have a baby” part. He
apologized for that.

Bernie’s Measure of the Patuxent Taken for 31st Time
Bernie Fowler and Rep Steny Hoyer during the wade-in
By Dick Myers
Editor
Every year on the second Sunday
in June, Bernie Fowler, his family and
friends and citizens interested in saving
Fowler’s beloved Patuxent River gather
and join him in wading into the river.
The result is known as “Bernie mea-
sure,” an unscientific but nonetheless
pertinent indicator of river quality.
Fowler is a former Calvert County
commissioner and state senator who has
dedicated his life to cleaning up the river

he grew up on at Broomes Island.
Fowler, 94, was joined once again by
family, friends and supporters for the
31st wade-in June 10 at Jefferson Pat-
terson Park and Museum. One of those
family members was especially on Fowl-
er’s mind. His wife of 68 years, Betty,
has been ill and wasn’t expected to at-
tend. But with the help of family she “left
her sick bed to come down here,” Bernie
said. She came to support her husband
and all of those who have supported his
mission.
“She’s been an integral part of every-

thing I have done,” Bernie said of Betty.
Fowler tried to convince the attendees
sitting under a tent overlooking the river
that the day really wasn’t about him, but
about the river. Calvert County Com-
missioner Steve Weems respectfully
disagreed, that it was indeed about him.
“Words do not express what a great man
you are.” He added, “I am here because
of your devotion and commitment.”
Maryland Secretary of Environment
Ben Grumbles said, “Under Governor
Hogan, this truly is a bipartisan support
for environmental progress.” He said the
governor has been fighting proposed cuts
in the Chesapeake Bay Program.
Grumbles said Bernie Fowler is as
much a symbol of the Bay as the Great
Blue Heron. “You are the Great Blue
Heron of the Patuxent River,” Grumbles
said
Rep. Steny Hoyer, who has been a
regular participant at the wade-in, said
Fowler “has been a wonderful steward of
this river” and has worked tirelessly to
save it for his grandchildren who were in
attendance and who recited the Pledge of
Allegiance.
Hoyer called the wade-in not a sci-
entific event, but “an extremely seri-
ous event.” And Dr. Ton Miller, head f
the nearby Chesapeake Biological Lab,
added that the information gleaned from
Local News 5
the wade-in is the kind of “intelligence”
scientists need.
Miller delivered some positive news
about the river, noting that Bay grasses
had returned to the area around the lab
pier after being absent for years. He said
they were once abundant but by 1970 had
completely disappeared. The grasses are
a sign of the Bay estuary’s health.
Executive Director of the event’s
host, Jefferson Patterson Park, Rachelle
Green said the Bernie Fowler Wade-In
has created “a ripple effect” of inter-
est in the Patuxent River. “Together we
will inspire future generations to protect
the Patuxent River watershed,” she said.
Maryland Senate President Mike Miller
said, “We all need to be together on this
environmental issue with Bernie.”
After the speeches and music, those
assembled climbed down the hank to
the riverside and many joined Bernie
in his wade-in. At the end, Hoyer mea-
sured that Fowler could see his sneakers
out to a depth of 36 inches, lower than
last year’s 41.5 inches. But Fowler was
optimistic. He said he felt the rive was
getter clearer. Yet, it still not what he re-
members from the 1950s when he could
wade up to his chest and still see those
sneakers.

ers such as Invisalign® are not just
for straightening teeth and mak-
ing your smile look better. In fact,
a highly trained and skilled dentist
will use orthodontic treatment to
improve the function of the teeth
which will result in a healthier, lon-
ger-lasting smile. While good look-
ing teeth are attractive, the purpose
of your teeth is to chew food. When
teeth are misaligned, they can slow-
ly damage opposing teeth during the
chewing process. When they are in
proper alignment, teeth break down
the food they are chewing without
damaging each other.
To help illustrate the point, think
of a well working pair of scissors.
When in good alignment the two
blades come together and meet at a
very precise point that makes them
excellent at cutting paper. On the
other hand, imagine one of the
scissor blades had a slight bend or
a ding in the metal. This imperfec-
tion would surely affect the scissor’s
ability to cut as well as when it was in
perfect alignment. If the one blade
is bent away from the other, there
will be a gap between the points of
contact that cause the cutting action.
The result would likely be a failure
to cut effectively or efficiently. If the
bend in the one blade is toward the
other, it would cause the blades to
scrape each other, making cutting
difficult. More importantly to note,
the blades scraping each other slow-
ly destroy the cutting surface of both
blades.
These same principles can be ap-
plied to your teeth. In any area of
the mouth where your opposing
teeth do not meet when you per-
form a chewing motion (meaning
there is a space between the top
and opposing-bottom tooth in any
area of your mouth when your jaw
is closed), like the scissor in the first
scenario, it is rendered ineffective in
the chewing process. On the other
hand, if there are any teeth that are
colliding with their opposing teeth,
they are likely causing trauma to
each other and slowly wearing down
the enamel surface and eventually
the tooth structure. This will like-
ly lead to greater risk of decay and
eventually risk the tooth’s overall vi-
tality.
Many people who have ongoing
problems with decay or pain de-
spite their efforts to keep their teeth
clean, might be suffering from mal-
occlusion issues that are causing the
ongoing dental problems. The good
news is that orthodontics may be a
solution to these problems, and a
straighter, more beautiful smile is a
bonus to the treatment, not the rea-
son for the treatment.
If you’re like most adults, the
thought of braces is unnerving.
Years in metal brackets and sharp
wires is no-one’s idea of a good time.
If these thoughts are keeping you
away from approaching your dentist
about a straighter, more beautiful,
better functioning, healthier smile,
consider a clear aligner option such
as Invisalign®. Invisalign® is a
clear, removeable retainer that may
achieve the same results as tradition-
al braces in less time.
The fact that aligners are remove-
able means you can take them out
whenever you eat. This makes eat-
ing more comfortable and cleaner
as you will not have to worry about
food particles being stuck in your
braces. They also allow you to eas-
ily clean your teeth, where braces
with wires make flossing and thor-
ough brushing more difficult. The
material used by Invisalign® is by
far superior to all other aligners on
the market. Not only is it the most
invisible, it is also the fastest work-
ing material, meaning you will reach
your desired outcome in a fraction
of the time to other safe orthodontic
options.
Finally, with Invisalign® technolo-
gy, your dentist can take a scan of
your mouth and show you virtually
what your results will look like, from
the improved esthetics of your smile
profile to the benefits of improving
any occlusion issues that may be
causing damage to your teeth.
The next time you go to your den-
tist, ask them if they are Invisalign®
certified. Ask them if they can pro-
vide a virtual, digital smile make-
over with the use of an iTero® scan-
ner so that you can see your likely
outcome. Also ask them if you have
any occlusion issues during chewing
and if orthodontics is right for you.
One of the biggest barriers to get-
ting orthodontic treatment dentists
hear the most is that it costs too
much. Before you allow money to
get between you and a healthy, beau-
tiful smile, think about the amount
of money you spent on your last car.
That car will likely not be in your
life ten years from now. The cost of
braces or Invisalign® is a fraction of
the cost of that car, and the results
will last you a lifetime!

A Healthy, Happy Smile

is in your future.

SMECO Refunds Capital Credits
Southern Maryland Electric Coopera-
tive (SMECO) is issuing capital credit
refunds totaling nearly $5.6 million. Of
that total, a general refund of approxi-
mately $3.7 million will be issued in
July. Active eligible members will re-
ceive credits on their bills, and checks
will be issued to eligible former mem-
bers. Special refunds of about $1.9 mil-
lion will be paid throughout the year to
estates of deceased members and unpaid
final bills.
“When SMECO issues a refund to
members, we’re making good on a coop-
erative promise,” said Austin J Slater, Jr.,
SMECO president and CEO. He added,
“Whether you have a residential account
or a large commercial account, you re-
alize one of the benefits of being an
electric cooperative member when you
receive a portion of SMECO’s margins.
Passing savings on to members demon-
strates electric cooperative values and
shows how we’re different from other
utilities.”

16 Feature
Ella Ennis: Leading the Way for
the Republican Renaissance
By Dick Myers
Editor
This decade has been a transformative one for the
Republican Party in Calvert County. In September
of 2010, voter registration figures showed Demo-
crats with an 895-voter lead in the county, 23,050 to
22,152. By the next April the gap narrowed to 592.
Then things started to go the GOP’s way in 2012.
In October, the GOP had regained the lead that they
had held briefly in the first decade of the 21st cen-
tury. The Republican lead was by a thin margin of
157 registered voters.
The margin has been steadily widening ever
since: 255 in March of 2014 – 943; in December
of 2014 -- 1,057; in June of 2015 -- 2,171; In April
of 2016 -- 2.171533; in March of 2017 – 2,538; and
then a 3.449 margin on June 1 of this year.
At the helm of the Calvert County GOP during
its ascendancy has been Ella Ennis, as chair of
the Republican Central Committee. The party just
completed another successful Lincoln Reagan Din-
ner with First Lady Yumi Hogan as guest speaker
(see separate story) at the Hall at Huntingtown on
June 7.
The day after, Ennis sat down with The County
Times to talk about the party’s success. She is not
a candidate for re-election to the central committee
and will be stepping down after the election.
Ennis was born and raised in Prince George’s
County and moved to Calvert in 1992.Her family
had a place in North Beach so se was familiar with
the county. Her daughter Robyn Riddle, now a dis-
trict court judge, came to the county to practice law
Ella Ennis with First Lady Yumi Hogan and Del. Mark Fisher at the Lincoln-Reagan dinner.
The Calvert County Times
and that’s what attracted Ennis to move here.
She had been politically active in Prince George’s
County. In 1968 she first volunteered for Gov. Ho-
gan;’ father, Larry Hogan, Sr. She and her husband
were active in the movement to bring charter gov-
ernment to Prince George’s County. In 1973 and
1974 she was the legislative assistant for County
Executive Bill Gullet.
When Gullet was defeated, she worked for three
legislative sessions with the House Minority Leader
Del. Bill Linton and then in 1976 she had an unsuc-
cessful bid for the House of Delegates. “You know,
Prince George’s County is pretty Democratic,” she
said in explaining her defeat.
In 1978, Larry Hogan, Sr. became county execu-
tive and Enns became his legislative aide. She knew
his son, now the governor, who had returned from
college. She and her husband Robert were friends
with the Hogan family. Robert Ennis worked in
management positions for Computer Science Cor-
poration and passed away in 2001,
After they moved to Calvert County, Ennis
worked for ten years as a desk officer for the United
States Department of Agriculture’s National Rural
Development Partnership. They were an interagen-
cy and intergovernmental group assisting in the de-
velopment of rural councils around the country.
After moving to Calvert, she joined the Republi-
can Women’s Club but wasn’t very active because
she was still working in town and they met during
the day. She was active, though, in the Maryland
Federation of Republican Women.
In 2003, when the Republican Women Leaders
of Calvert was formed, she joined that and became
legislative director
and then served two
terms as president
until 2009 when she
was appointed to the
Republican Central
Committee.
Ennis was first
elected to the central
committee in 2010
and was reelected in
2014.
The successes de-
tailed at the begin-
ning of this story, En-
nis believes, were a
combination of hard
work locally and na-
tional and state suc-
cesses filtering down.
“We have worked
very hard in 2012 and
2014, door to door, the
outreach to voters. We
have a website. We do
a little newsletter. So,
we try to reach out.”
There are multiple
clubs, including the
Republican Women’s
Club, which is close
to 60 years old, the
Republican Women’s
Thursday, June 14, 2018
Leaders of Calvert, the Republican Men’s Club, the
Patuxent Republican Club at Asbury-Solomons and
the Taurus Club of teenage Republicans including
a club at Patuxent High School. “It has grown over
time,” she said.
The Republicans have active voter registration ef-
forts, in the high schools and at all major events,
including the county fair and at this past weekend’s
Dragon Boat Festival in North Beach.
“We try during the election to have activities, not
just do door knocking, but also sign waiving and
covering the polls,” Ennis said.
“I think people were concerned about the ris-
ing taxes. They were concerned about the loss of
individual freedom. The atmosphere of intolerance
with other people with whom they don’t agree,” En-
nis said about what drives voters to the Republican
Party.
She added, “I think people really wanted smaller
government.”
Calvert Democrats had hoped that the election
of Donald Trump would bring voters back to their
fold. “I would say the voter registration numbers
would indicate that Donald Trump is quite popular
in Calvert County,” she said.
Calvert’s political leaders are now largely Repub-
lican with the five county commissioners, Delegates
Fisher and Clark and other elected officials, a trend
which started in 2010, continued in 2014 and they
hope will continue in this election year, Ennis said.
Having Hogan as governor hasn’t hurt either, she
said. “He is very popular. I would say that at least
80 percent of the Republicans in Calvert County
and a lot of Democrats support Governor Hogan,”
Ennis added.
Ennis said Hogan’s popularity reflects the econo-
my, jobs and his focus on the family.
The Republican Central Committee is supportive
of all candidates during the primary by providing
a place for them to store and distribute signs and
literature. After the primary, Ennis said, “We will
support all of the Republican candidates.”
As to their successes, Ennis said, “My belief is
that we put forth a positive view of what we want
to accomplish; we are not being anti or resistant,”
she said, instead talking about smaller government,
lower taxes and individual choice.
For the last eight years it’s been pretty much full-
time for Ennis as chair of the Republican Central
Committee. She is also legislative chair and second
vice president of the Maryland Federation of Re-
publican Women that has kept her busy, especially
during the legislative session.
Of her decision not to seek reelection, she said,
“It’s important that you bring in new ideas and new
people. It takes a lot of work and energy to be on
the central committee and be chairman.” She noted
that she won’t be going away because she still has a
year left b her term as second vice president of the
state federation.
And, based solely on the success in attracting
new voter registrants, whoever succeeds her on the
central committee will have big shoes to fill.

What are pre-nups? These are pre-
nuptial agreements entered into by
prospective husbands and wives that
set forth how the couple wants to man-
age their assets in the event one of
them dies or there is a divorce. Some
people consider pre-nups to be anti-
romantic. However, others recognize
that these days, when so many people
get divorced or whose spouses have
died and then get re-married, pre-nups
play an important role in taking care
of children from a prior marriage and
protecting the assets of those who have
been previously divorced.
Not long ago, we were approached to
create a pre-nup for a wonderful cou-
ple in their mid-80’s. The couple met
in an assisted living facility, fell in love
and decided to get married. Both of
them had been married and had adult
children and grandchildren from their
prior marriages. Rather than create
controversy in the family about inheri-
tances, the couple decided to make it
clear in their pre-nup that each of their
children and grandchildren from prior
marriages would continue to receive
the inheritances they were expecting
from their parent or grandparent after
marriage. With the pre-nup signed,
the children and grandchildren of the
couple were able to celebrate the new
marriage with no concerns about what
would happen when their mother/
grandmother or father/grandfather

Press release from Annmarie
Sculpture Garden & Arts Center
Pre-Nups
died. In this case, both parties had as-
sets to protect for their children and,
by creating the pre-nup, both parties
helped create family harmony with
their new extended family members.
Pre-nups are commonly used to pro-
tect children from a prior marriage.
What does a pre-nup involve? Primar-
ily, each party exchanges financial in-
formation with the other. One of the
primary assets a person has is their
retirement account. When a person
marries, their new spouse has a legal
claim on the retirement account of the
other spouse. Particularly in cases of
a second marriage where children are
involved, most parties want to preserve
their retirement accounts for their chil-
dren. The pre-nup makes that clear—
each party agrees they will not claim
against the retirement account of the
other in the event of death or divorce.
Similarly, if one party owns a house,
upon marriage the other may assert a
legal claim to ownership of one-half
of the house. Under the pre-nup, each
party clearly states that when they
marry they will not assert any claim to
the house the other owns.
What about other assets each party
might own individually? The pre-nup
addresses those as well. For exam-
ple, suppose one party has a valuable
stamp collection that they have prom-
ised to a grandchild. The pre-nup will
make it clear that the stamp collection
is the sole property of one party and
will not be distributed or divided up on
the death of that party.
The pre-nup addresses property
owned by each party individually pri-
or to their marriage. But, what about
property the soon to be married couple
acquire after marriage? This too is
addressed in the pre-nup. Ordinarily,
the couple decides that they will split
any assets they acquire after marriage,
fifty-fifty. So, if they buy a house to-
gether as joint tenants with right of
survivorship, and one of them dies, the
other takes complete ownership of the
house. In the event of a divorce, the
other has a claim for 50% of the value
of the house. Of course, there are lots
of other factors that are involved, but
you get the picture.
In a pre-nup, each party exchanges
personal financial statements with the
other. These financial statements must
be complete and detailed so that one
party can never accuse the other of
hiding any assets.
A pre-nup is a contract between the
parties. As such, it is enforceable in a
court of law. Some people think that
their Will or a Trust has decided who
owns what assets after death, but what-
ever you have decided in those docu-
ments is not enforceable because the
surviving spouse can execute a new
Will or Trust after the death of the
other spouse that completely changes
Entertainment 17
the distribution of the property. People
that use pre-nups are concerned about
this. Even if your potential spouse
has an excellent relationship with your
children from a prior marriage, when
you die, how can you be assured those
children will be protected? Not with
a Will or a Trust—only through a
pre-nup.
To those who claim the pre-nup is
anti-romantic because it addresses
what happens on divorce or death,
think again. Divorce may not be inevi-
table but death is. If you want to truly
protect your children the second time
around and preserve family harmony,
both parties should welcome the op-
portunity to do so in a pre-nup.

Thursday, June 14, 2018 The Calvert County Times
When Grown Men Cry
This can’t be considered current content anymore, not in this age of
24/7 wire feeds. Give me some latitude here – it’s an article I’ve written
in my head countless times over the last 35 years. I’ve dreamt about it,
wrote a fictional version for a high school assignment and flirted with it
several times in this column. And for my entire life, it’s been a recurring
spring-time obsession, a time of year when it almost always had a chance
of becoming reality, but never did – until last Thursday night.
Every long-time fan of the Washington Capitals has their story. Mine
starts around 1982, when my uncle, in his VW Bug, began regularly jet-
ting me and my cousin up to the Capital Centre – The Great Pringle – to
cheer the likes of Dennis Maruk, Mike Gartner and Rod Langway. Years
later, a poster of Peter Bondra adorned my college dorm room. For much
of the Alexander Ovechkin era, my wife and I have made annual trips
to Verizon Center/Capital One Arena to meet up with old friends and
“Rock the Red”.
Which is to say, like most fans of this prodigal-son-like team, the Caps
are in my bones. My emotional attachment is deep and as strong as it
was in childhood. The sustained affection is rooted in success: Having
missed the playoffs only seven times since 1982, the Caps have been, by
far, the most consistent D.C. sports team. In recent years, they’ve been
regularly among the NHL’s very best, winning three President’s trophies
(given to the team with the best regular season record) since 2010.
And yet, for all this regular season success, there was nothing, ulti-
mately, but playoff anguish. Unimaginable anguish. Their history was
a script for a horror film or plot for a Stephen King novel: too-many-to-
count blown 3-1 leads, only two trips past the second round, one token
appearance in the Stanley Cup Finals and numerous losses to the Island-
ers, the Rangers, the Flyers and the Penguins and the Penguins and the
Penguins.
Considering the random nature of NHL hockey – follow the pinball/
puck - and the sheer number of times the Caps had sent high-quality
teams into the playoffs, this never-ending story of epic disaster defied
all statistical explanation. There was something else in play here, some
dark force that sentenced the franchise and its poor, innocent fans to
eternal condemnation. Watching it all unfold, year after miserable year,
was sports’ version of hell. Hoisting a Stanley Cup was just something
that happened to other teams in other towns – until last Thursday night.
At the beginning of every Caps playoff journey over the years, I have
faithfully written down the number “16” (the number of wins needed to
hoist the Stanley Cup) – on calendars, notebooks or dry erase boards
- and started a hopeful countdown. For 30-plus years, I never wrote
down “0”. In franchise history, the Caps had never reached the summit,
their fans’ faith had never been rewarded and the sun had never come
out – until last Thursday night…when the Washington Capitals won the
Stanley Cup!!!
Oh…those…words…
I am so happy for so many: my Uncle Wayne for taking me to so many
games, the players – past and present, the D.C. sports media who have
dutifully covered losing teams and playoff heartbreaks and D.C. sports
fans, a strong and hearty lot that has been unfairly criticized during this
long streak of futility and distress. We were always there, waiting to
erupt and after 26 years of pain since our last major professional sport
championship, The Darkness – that omnipresent villain - has been exor-
cised. It’s the kind of stuff that makes grown men cry – this one included.
How did this happen? Was there something in the water? With the
Cubs (2016), the city of Cleveland (Cavaliers, 2016) and the Eagles (2018)
having won recent championships, you have to wonder. Or did a deter-
mined organization and core of players just keep pushing through adver-
sity, knowing that eventually it would all come together and be their time.
Maybe it’s that simple. Maybe that’s the lesson we all learned amid the
tears and euphoria – last Thursday night.

roadway, reconstructing sidewalk, and replacing the existing culvert south
of Beach Avenue. The design is scheduled to be complete in Fall 2019
and construction is scheduled to begin in Spring 2020.
WHAT: The informational meeting will familiarize the public with the
project and provide attendees an opportunity to discuss project details.
Maps and displays will depict the proposed improvements, and MDOT
SHA representatives will be available to discuss project issues and
answer questions. There will be no formal presentation. You may
arrive at any time during the Open House hours and walk through
the display area at your own pace.

June 15 is World Elder
Abuse Awareness Day
Elder abuse is a significant pub-
lic health problem. Each year, hun-
dreds of thousands of adults over
the age of 60 are abused, neglect-
ed, or financially exploited. Elder
abuse, including neglect and exploi-
tation, is experienced by 1 out of
every 10 people, ages 60 and older,
who live at home. This statistic is
likely an underestimate because
many victims are unable or afraid
to disclose or report the violence.
For more information on Elder
Abuse, contact The Office on Ag-
ing at 410-535-4606.
